CONGRATULATIONS TO KAPPA SIGMA

MEET

KAPPA SIGMA We spoke with Andrew, captian of KAPPA SIGMA about his teams victory.

As a team, what has been the best experience playing IM Sports? The fact that wearing 5 inch inseams is acceptable.

Tell us the story about your team! We're just a group of guys who were too large to be horse jockeys and too small to be linebackers. Our team is basically whoever shows up on game day, we play for the coveted championship t-shirt and win for the kids... they are the future.

What was the team strategy for winning IM Team of the Week? Our team strategy was to pay off the refs but they keep sending our checks back in the mail so we decided to kick the ball in the net instead. When it came to getting the votes we just spent a day making new Facebook accounts and liking our picture.

About how much extra time does your team put into IM Sports out of competition? I would say our teams main focus is pool basketball... When is that going to be an IM registered sport? Still looking to hear back from you Scott (IM Director). KAPPA SIGMA currently stands first in their league with a 4-0 record and a perfect 4.0 sportsmanship rating. They average 8.5 goals per game, 2nd highest in the league. 5 men on the team have scored 4 goals each, making them an unstoppable offense.

Investigation: St. Mary’s priest sexually harassed student University finds priest created a ‘hostile environment’ for his media intern By Sydney Smith Managing Editor @SydneyS_mith | news@cm-life.com

Before Father Denis Heames was removed from St. Mary’s University Parish, the Central Michigan University student he was having an affair with told a faculty member about their relationship. That conversation launched a sexual harassment investigation through the Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity (OCRIE). Though the office states it “endeavors to issue” a decision within 60 days of formally launching an investigation, its look into Heames’ behavior began in August 2015 and was completed Jan. 13. Heames was named in a lawsuit filed Jan. 14 in Isabella County Court. Heames, along with St. Mary’s, the Diocese of Saginaw and his spiritual director, Trudy McCaffrey, are accused of bat-

tery, defamation, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraud and negligent supervision and retention. Based on its understanding of the case, the Survivor’s Network of Those Abused by Priests has a reason to believe Heames behaved similarly with multiple women. DeWitt senior Megan Winans is asking the Isabella County Court to consider whether she was harmed by Heames during her time as a parishioner and “media intern” at the church from 2012 to 2014. The university investigated the complaint even though Heames is not employed by CMU. Though it sits in the middle of campus, St. Mary’s is on property owned by the church. The OCRIE investigation found that Heames engaged in sexual harassment through his involvement in the registered student organization Reach Out, which coordinates events

for St. Mary’s. Central Michigan Life obtained a copy of CMU’s investigation. Heames was contacted by Central Michigan Life in June to discuss his removal from St. Mary’s. He did not want to provide comment. He was contacted again Feb. 9 for comment and did not respond.

Investigation Every employee at CMU is a “responsible employee” under the university’s sexual misconduct policy. This means employees must report sexual misconduct complaints they are made aware of. Two faculty members reported Heames. Both faculty members raised concerns about Heames’ involvement with university students and employees. The OCRIE investigation specifically focused on whether Heames’ actions toward Winans, with respect to her involvement in Reach Out, constituted sexual exploitation or harassment as defined by university policy. Winans’ t estimony According to the report, Winans told the OCRIE investigator that she and Heames agreed to meet weekly for “spiritual counseling.” She said she shared her “deepest, darkest” insecurities with Heames during these sessions. Because of her numerous, ongoing counseling sessions with Heames, Winans said he had a “playbook” for how to manipulate her. Winans also told the OCRIE investigator: w In November 2012, the two went to see the movie “Skyfall.” Heames held her hand during

the movie. The two shared a kiss outside the movie theater. w The following night Winans said Heames “showed up” at a bar she was at, asking for a ride home. Heames instructed her to drop her friend off first. The two kissed again when they were alone. Winans was still attending weekly counseling meetings with Heames. w Heames declined to talk to her about their relationship while they were at the church. He invited her on an overnight stay at the Saginaw home of his spiritual director, Trudy McCaffrey. During their trip, Winans said Heames told her he was “falling for her,” and they were sexually intimate. They often visited McCaffrey’s home and sometimes met at hotels. w In summer 2013, Heames asked her to leave her summer job early to work in Mount Pleasant. Winans approached Heames about becoming a media intern for St. Mary’s. As part of her internship, Winans said she would often attend meetings Heames had with university administrators. She also helped promote church and Reach Out events. Heames told her the internship was a way the two could “hide in the open.” The Diocese paid her during her employment at the church. w In August 2013, Heames attended the University of Michigan vs. CMU football game in Ann Arbor. According to the OCRIE investigation, Winans was given press credentials to attend the game with Heames. The priest claimed she was a photographer for Faith magazine. Winans and Heames traveled with the team and stayed in separate hotel rooms as guests of the Athletics Department.

Central Michigan Life y Cm-life.com y FEB. 18, 2016 Assistant Athletics Director for Communication Rob Wyman told Central Michigan Life Heames worked as a “character coach” for the CMU football team, working mainly with former head coach Dan Enos. The former coach personally invited Heames as one of his guests to travel with the team. “(Character coaches) are someone that works with our student-athletes to help them become better people,” Wyman said. “It’s always good to bring people in with diverse background to help with that training. We have a couple that have religious affiliations.” w In spring 2014, Winans said parishioners began to scrutinize her relationship with the priest. During this time, Heames often talked about the couple’s future. Winans believed Heames was going to leave the priesthood. w Heames and Winans travelled together on a St. Mary’s-sponsored trip to Rome for the canonization of Popes John XIII and John Paul II. Heames became “cold” toward her during the trip and said they had to “pretend to break up.” After their return to Mount Pleasant. Heames ended their relationship. She said the last time they were intimate was around January 2015. Heames said because their relationship ended, so did Winans’ position with the church. Because there was no longer a relationship between them, there was nothing that needed to be hidden. w In fall 2015, Winans said Heames told her she could not participate in Reach Out. She was removed from the group’s Facebook page, and stopped receiving emails. When she approached Heames about organizing an event, Winans said, he told her to “be a student” and “step away from leadership activities.”

Heames’ response After receiving the complaint about Heames, the university reached out to the priest through the Saginaw Diocese. However, he did not attend his scheduled interview with a OCRIE investigator. In October, his counsel told the university that the priest would not be participating in the investigation. Last month, Heames requested an overview of the investigation and summaries of all evidence and testimony. On Jan. 5, Heames denied “any allegations of wrongdoing placed against him.” He questioned “whether a relationship between two adults led to one’s being impacted unfairly with the university or in relation to university activities, such as the RSO Reach Out.” He also noted there were no documents or witness testimony he reviewed which supported Winans’ claims. According to the report, Heames also posed the question to the investigator if “someone is exploiting the system in order to harass another individual.” Taking into account her statement and the documentary evidence collected, the OCRIE

investigator determined Heames’ conduct was not sexual exploitation, but “created an objectively hostile environment” for Winans. “Therefore, OCRIE concludes, by a preponderance of the evidence that (Heames) violated the university’s Sexual Misconduct Policy,” the report states. The department offered two recommendations: w Heames should have no future involvement with university departments such as Athletics and no involvement with registered student organizations. w The Office of Student Activities and Involvement offer training for registered student organization advisers regarding sexual misconduct, with an emphasis on sexual harassment. The recommendations in the report came six months after the Saginaw Diocese removed Heames from St. Mary’s. No trial date for the civil lawsuit has been set. Winans and her attorneys believe Heames has relocated to Canada. Central Michigan Life contacted the Diocese of Saginaw on Feb. 10, seeking comment for this story and to inquire on the whereabouts of Heames. The diocese offered no comment via email.

Members of the Student Government Association and student body will travel to Lansing on Feb. 25 to lobby for higher education funding with Central Michigan University President George Ross. SGA will pay for the cost of the trip, including tours of the Capitol Building, Hall of Justice and Historical Museum. Of the 24 students attending the trip, two are nonSGA members, said SGA President Chuck Mahone. “(SGA) wanted to take the opportunity to support our university while at the same time give our students

political experience,” he said. Lobbying is done to attempt to influence decisions made by officials in government, usually legislators. Ross, Mahone and others attending the trip will meet with members of the Michigan House of Representatives and Senate to speak with them about giving funding to higher education. On Feb. 10, Gov. Rick Snyder announced plans to restore higher education funding to the level it was at in 2011, the year before he took office. In his 2017 budget proposal, Snyder proposed

investing $61.2 million in state university operations. CMU would receive $81.1 million in operations funding and $4.2 million in performance based funding, a 5.2 increase from last year. Barrie Wilkes, vice president of finance and administrative services, said if CMU received the same amount of appropriations as in 2001, adjusted for inflation, it would reduce tuition by $100 per credit hour. -Jordyn Hermani News Editor

Students find it hard to make healthy choices By Kate Carlson News Editor @k8erzz | news@cm-life.com

After eating meals served in the dining halls as an undergraduate, Jessika Kennedy said she developed high cholesterol, which she attributes to eating unhealthy food served to students

as part of mandatory residential meal plans. While Kennedy said she could have made healthier meal choices, she thinks campus dining should cut back on how much greasy food they serve. Students, professors and health experts on campus had differing views on the nutritional value of meal plans at CMU, with most agreeing there should be more healthy options available. “It’s my choice of what to eat. I know I could have had more salads and fruit, but at the end of

the day a lot of that stuff is not good. The only good food they had was the burgers and fries and greasy foods,” said the Romulus senior. Kennedy said the options for healthy food at the cafeteria are less appealing from a quality standpoint compared to unhealthy foods. “(Campus Dining) offers a lot of healthy options, it’s just making the right choices. You can have the pizza (and be healthy), just not every single day,” said fitness and wellness coordinator for residence life Leslie Stockford. The campus dining website is a great tool for students who want to eat healthy, Stockford said, because it breaks down the nutritional value of every meal. “If you look at the net nutrition and want to find out sodium levels and more information, they surpass a lot of things in just one of their meals for the daily intake,” said Gavin Aikens, a campus health advocate mentoring peer. Stockford said it’s important to keep portion sizes in mind.

Nutrition professor Michelle Estrade said she has only eaten at the dining halls twice, but was pleasantly surprised by portion sizes and healthy options. “It exceeded my expectations in terms of variety of things offered,” she said. “If you want to eat french fries and pizza every single day that’s there and available. But if you want to eat healthy, and know how to make those good choices, those are there too.” Estrade started teaching at CMU in fall 2015. The professor has been living in Scotland and Germany for six years, and said food quality in the U.S. is poor compared to Europe. She cited limited vegetarian and vegan options, large portion sizes and unhealthy additives in food as factors that contribute to an unhealthy food environment. “(I was) impressed by the portion sizes (at CMU). Whether or not people decide to take three portion sizes — that’s something you have to learn,” Estrade said. “There’s only so much you can do with the food environment. Then it’s up

According to nutrition information on Campus Dining website, a

is hit or miss depending on the (food) stations, usually there is at least one option that’s vegetarian, but it depends on the day,” she said. President of CMU’s chapter of the Student Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Taylor Alfano said the late opening times of the dining halls are unhealthy by limiting students that might not be able to eat breakfast because of the hours.

Students paid $308 more this academic year for a 19-meal room and board plan. Dezarai Brown said she sacrificed a few meals a week this semester and bought a plan that was cheaper. “I think meal plans are extremely expensive,” said the Jackson sophomore. “With two or three extra meals a week, (the price) increased by (hundreds of dollars) for the entire semester. I can eat a protein bar instead (of the additional meals); it would be way cheaper than that.” About 5,800 on-campus students dine in Central Michigan University’s four residential restaurants each day. A meal plan is required for students living in the residence halls. Since the 2010-11 academic year, room and board costs based on a 19 meal plan, increased by $996 while oncampus undergraduate tuition has increased $49 per credit hour. “Not only do I think (oncampus dining) is overpriced, I also don’t always have time to eat in the dining halls,” said McBain junior Megan Taylor, who said by the end of the week, she usually has two or three meals left. Meal plan costs are set based on several factors, according to Interim Director of Residences and Auxiliary Services, Cal Seelye. Two factors that contributed to this year’s increase were increased food costs and minimum wage increases. Part of the reason for an increase in meal plan was increase in prices for poultry, beef, milk

and cheese prices to purchase and transport, Seelye said. CMU works closely with Campus Dining to determine rates for meal plans. Dining fees are established and approved by the CMU Board of Trustees. Campus dining staff are paid more this year due to a minimum wage increase, which went into effect on Jan. 1. Pay increased from $8.15 to $8.50 per hour in Michigan. Another increase is scheduled for Jan. 1, 2017. The impact the 2017 increase will have on the budget has not yet been discussed. Any money generated from students paying for meal plans goes into accounts to improve the dining units, develop new programs or generally to benefit students in the residence halls with meal plans, Seelye said.

Price of the plan Northville senior Josh Zawodny said he would have liked different options and improved food quality when he had a meal plan as a sophomore and freshman. “I feel like it was just really low grade for what I was paying,” he said. All four residential meal plan options — the 10, 14, 16 and unlimited meal plans — include meal swipes to eat at residential restaurants and FLEX dollars. With the price of room and board included, the 10 meal plan costs $8,124, the 14 meal plan is $8,720, the 16 meal plan is $8,862 and the unlimited plan is $9,088 for the year. Meal plans at other universities in Michigan are structured differently. Most are required for residential students and have three different options to choose from that are included in room

and board costs. CMU’s room and board for the 19 meal plan package is priced at $9,088 and is comparable to Grand Valley State University’s at $8,360, Eastern Michigan University’s at $8,666, Michigan State University’s at $9,524, Ferris State University’s at $9,434, and Western Michigan University’s at $9,238.

Inflexible hours When students are unable to dine in a residential restaurant, they can use FLEX dollars to buy food at another on-campus location. Students have the option of buying more FLEX dollars if they run out. The minimum FLEX that can be purchased separately from a meal plan is $25. Bought in large amounts at once, there are “discounts” when buying additional FLEX dollars. For example, students can buy $100 worth of extra FLEX dollars for $90. The most FLEX that can be purchased at a time is $400 worth of FLEX for $360. The residential restaurants are designed to be sit-down restaurants. Students are not allowed to take food out of them, said the director of residential dining Brenda Marquardt. “Overall prices of meal plans would likely increase in an environment where food items could be consumed in the all-you-care-to-eat restaurant and also brought out of the restaurant,” she said. Real Food on Campus, more commonly known as RFOC, serves the most meals of all the dining halls. Bloomfield Hills sophomore Erin Langan has the 14-meal w Dining | 8

continued from 7

plan, but said she uses her meal swipes 10-12 times per week, sometimes less if she gets tired of the food. “I use FLEX mostly at The Market when I miss dinner, because the dining halls close so early,” Langan said. Complaints about dining hall hours is common among students. Operational hours for dining halls are based partially on how much money is in the operating budget and are adjusted year to year, said Nikki Smith, marketing manager of Campus Dining. Robinson and Fresh Food Company residential restaurants are open from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. to Monday through Thursday, from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, and from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The Merrill restaurant has the

same hours but are closed on Saturday and Sunday. Real Food on Campus is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, and from 10:30 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Campus Dining takes students’ needs into account when setting hours for the dining halls by looking at historic customer counts data and student survey results,

said Marquardt. “It’s unrealistic that we’re going to have enough time to eat three times a day, so I think you waste a lot of money by having (plans with a lot of meals a week),” said Romulus senior Jessika Kennedy. Dining hall hours also don’t align with college students’ eating habits, Kennedy said, and force students to spend more FLEX dollars. “I definitely think they should

have later times in the residential restaurants,” she said. “Who eats at 5 in the afternoon, especially for dinner? For people who have night class like me if I was on campus I wouldn’t be able to eat dinner (that early).” She was considering purchasing a meal plan as a nonresidential student before she realized how expensive it was. Prices for off campus student meal plans range from $614 - $1,338. In fall 2015, 65,000 meals were served to non-residential students. If students do not use all of their weekly meals, they don’t roll over, which Marquardt said is typical for a collegiate residential dining program. FLEX dollars roll over from fall to spring semester, but not academic years. The university doesn’t keep track of how many FLEX dollars go unused. All recipes are implemented with cost in mind, Marquardt said. This year, Campus Dining

New Isabella County sheriff plans to utilize social media By John Hogan Staff Reporter @jr_Hogan1 | news@cm-life.com

Shepherd Police Chief Michael Main will be Isabella County’s new sheriff, replacing Leo Mioduszewski, who left in December to become chief of police at Saginaw Valley State University. Main will begin his new position on Feb. 29. He has been employed in law enforcement for about 18 years. Starting as a reserve police officer in mid-Michigan, Main was sent to the police academy by the Saginaw-Chippewa Indian Tribe, where he spent 11 years. He has been the Shepherd Chief since 2009. What changes do you plan to bring to the Isabella County

Sheriff ’s Department? MAIN: I really would like to sit down with the supervisors and the team there and look at using statistical data to see where our workloads are falling. I think we can do some more strategic patrolling, being able to put deputies in the right spots before problems start. It’s positive to have them closer during those times. We have the whole county to cover, obviously, but we certainly can use some data to help our response times, help make things a little quicker and easier. How do you feel the Sheriff ’s Department’s relationship is with students? I get the opportunity a couple times a year to help the Sheriff ’s Department in this role, as the

police chief in Shepherd. I think (police) have a good relationship with (stuMichael Main dents). Can isabella county sheriff it be better? Anything can be better, obviously. I think we need to work toward social media. There are things that we can pass along to the students through social media that are events happening, or issues we’re seeing. (We can tell them) this is typically the times we have problems or concerns, and these are the concerns, to help preempt them to say okay, we know there’s an issue on these weekends or these nights. It can control things a

little better for us. What have you done to prepare for your new job? I’ve been looking at this for a few years now, putting myself on committees and groups. I’ve been involved in one of the programs called Ten Sixteen Drug Recovery to help (improve the) capabilities of people who are afflicted by drugs and alcohol. I’ve also attended (city) commission meetings just to get the layout of how the government works and what’s important to them. We put together a lot of things like School Safety Alliance for K-12 grades. I represent a position on that panel as well, to make sure safety and positive things are happening

in the schools and having that liaison between law enforcement and the schools. I’ve been a board member of SEPLA, which is a school and educator conference. We’ve done that for the last three or four years, bringing in good speakers and training police officers how to interact with students. How do you plan to use technology to improve law enforcement? I do believe technology, when it benefits law enforcement or anything, is a positive. We’ve had the opportunity here in Shepherd to have, for example, the body camera mics for the last few years. We’ve found them to be a great tool and asset in

recording for evidence. There’s always that component where, we have the ability to see what that officer said and did, but a lot of the statistics show after one year of camera use is 44 percent reduction in false police reports or use of false police reports. The Sheriff ’s Department has come great strides in the last few years on technology. They’ve got some great stuff going on there, but I think we can certainly enhance on that at all times. (The county has) such a wide variety, all the way from student life, to farm and the bigger city atmosphere. We’ve got quite a distance to travel as far as demographics, but I think we have some options to do that with.

Join chuck: Show up, speak out Student Government Association President speech should spark debate

tudent Government Association President Chuck Mahone announced he would give his first “State of the Student Body” address at 8 p.m. on Feb. 29 in the Powers Ballroom. University President George Ross declined to give a State of the University address this year. Instead, the university printed an informational brochure and distributed it around campus. We’re interested in hearing from our other presiden-t faceto-face. Now serving his second term as SGA President, Mahone has created a forum for all students to listen to his views and provide feedback. Mahone told Central Michigan Life, he plans to talk about three topics: Student-city government relations, recent student deaths and college affordability. Each of these topics is relevant, timely and important. Community members and campus leaders need to take time out of their days to show up to his address. Students should also plan to attend. Mahone invited Mount Pleasant mayor Kathy Ling. When she was elected, we urged Ling to engage CMU students and make them feel welcomed by local government.

We hope to see her there. If you see the mayor at Mahone’s event, introduce yourself and tell her about your experiences with local government and law enforcement. The purpose of attending this forum is to support the man charged with representing your views to decision makers on your campus and in your community. We appreciate Mahone’s recognition of the need for CMU students to take care of one another when they are socializing or enjoying downtown Mount Pleasant. Tragedy has become too common on and around this campus. Mahone, like every CMU student, knows tuition is too expensive. Students must shoulder the burden of the ballooning cost of higher education. Things do not have to be this way. We hope Mahone’s speech will make CMU’s SGA more visible to the campus and community. We urge students, faculty and staff to be an active participant in the conversation. As SGA President, Mahone has a responsibly to make sure a collective student voice is represented to CMU’s administration and the local community. Conversely, students have

a responsibility to make sure our voice on this campus is not exclusively that of Mahone. If you have a question or concern you feel has not been addressed, bring it to the forum and ask it. CMU decision makers often talk about how intensely focused they are on “student success.” Showing up to this address and engaging us in discussion with opinionated student leaders would go a long way toward convincing us of that. Student leaders are more than willing to start a conversation about the issues that matter to us most. Our sincere hope is that on the night of Mahone’s speech, campus and community decision makers are ready to listen. Because just like Mahone, we Illustration by | Bryce Tufts have a lot to say.

Sports Illustrated isn’t making history with swimsuit edition In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give her seat on the bus to a white man, and was arrested in violation of Alabama’s segregation laws. Even earlier, scientist Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in 1903. Today, women can look to Malala Yousafzai, who survived after being shot in the head by the Taliban for campaigning for young girls’ right to education. These women, and many others, made history. On Sunday, Sports Illustrated announced plus-size model Ashley Graham will grace one of three covers of the magazine’s infamous swimsuit edition.

Sydney Smith

Managing Editor Many women I follow on social media erupted in praise for the publication, as this is the first time a woman bigger than size 12 will be included. I’ll admit, I did too. Graham is the same size as me, the same size as a lot of American women. The past couple years there’s been an explosion of “body positivity,” criticizing the fashion industry and greater society’s cookie-cutter definitions of what’s beautiful.

It’s an exciting thought — a woman of my size being recognized as someone who can be thought of as beautiful in a mainstream sense. But then I thought beyond surface-level. Is being represented on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition something that constitutes a “victory” for women? Hardly. My question — a challenging one to answer — is why there needs to be a swimsuit edition. I’m sure it mostly has to do with the magazine’s sales. Last year (and many years before), it was heavily criticized for not showing enough racial and body diversity.

Graham is a jackpot for SI. I’m not criticizing Graham. She’s seriously a bombshell, and designs a fantastic line of lingerie for plus-sized women. My grievances are aimed at SI, and those who call putting a size 16 woman in a bikini on the cover of a magazine solely to satisfy the male gaze “a historical moment for women.” Women shouldn’t have to celebrate being objectified. This weird idea of “improved” objectification is asinine. It’s not so much “if a girl sees this, she will feel bad about her body.” It’s that the magazine is made for men. If this were a “victory

for women,” we wouldn’t be talking about Sports Illustrated. It wouldn’t be “that issue” of “that magazine” that men seem to get really excited about. A historical moment for women in today’s society would mean abolishing things made solely to dwindle us down to boobs and butts and pretty, willing-to-please smiles. This is something those new to feminism struggle with a lot. Those who think Aerie’s “Real” campaign is some kind of groundbreaking. Those who think Lena Dunham is the end-all-be-all of the modern American woman. Those who accept some-

thing .000000001 percent better than the norm and want to burn a bra about it. There doesn’t need to be a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. It’s not essential to male survival to fulfill a quota of the amount of times he “almost saw a nipple” each February. Graham makes history on her own, because she’s an excellent role model for women. She doesn’t need Sports Illustrated, and neither does society. It’s not “about time” we see a fat woman on a magazine cover. It’s about time women are recognized as people instead of body parts, like those that came before us.

When tragedy occurs, the faithful rely on prayer in times of crisis Many people, when tragedies occur, lean on prayer. Others say prayer is not enough. After the mass shooting last year in San Bernardino, Calif. where 14 people were murdered, many politicians sent out prayers on Twitter. This caused American liberals to question the very concept of prayer. People felt those who had some political power should put those

Leah Townsend Columnist

abilities to use. Critics ushered for them to take some political action, perhaps provide greater gun control. Things continued to ensue and many started prayer shaming, stating, “God isn’t fixing this!”

Many even began to wonder, does prayer actually work? I understand why many people think that prayer isn’t enough. Fourteen people were murdered. This has not been the first mass shooting in the past year. Why does this keep happening? What do we do? The first thing we usually see is a hashtag stating a “pray for this city” while another mass shooting happens across town.

I believe whole-heartedly prayer does indeed work. However, I also believe that sending out a prayer via Twitter and actually being at home on your knees and praying are two completely different things. I’m not saying that you have to be at home for your prayers to be heard, but there’s going to be some disconnect. God doesn’t have a Twitter. Many politicians post prayers

on social media for likes and a quick response. Most things people pray about are things the government cannot provide, such as rest and peace for loved ones, condolences, strength and patience. However, if you’re going to pray for action then you have to act. After several years of going to church, the main thing I have learned is that prayer without action is powerless.

You have to actively participate in God’s will if you want to see change. One has to believe that what they’re praying about will come to pass. I say prayer works because miracles happen every day. When you put your all into something, as we do with prayer, then you are ultimately attracting those thoughts into your life and those thoughts will soon come to light.

College of Health Professions completes dean finalist interviews By Micayla Glennie and Sarah Clinkscales Staff Reporters news@cm-life.com

Four finalists were chosen from a nationwide search to fill the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow College of Health Professions dean position. John Todorovich, Constance Qualls, Gregory Frazer and CHP interim Dean Thomas Masterson were interviewed this month for the position. Dean of Faculty and Administration for the College of Medicine Linda Perkowski, head of the 14-person search committee, said the committee is looking for someone who has “credentials in a health-related or other appropriate field and academic achievements appropriate for appointment as a tenured full professor”

among other qualifications. Perkowski said the committee hopes to have the position filled by the end of the semester, but how soon the candidate can come to the university depends on when they can leave their other job. Qualls and Frazer were the last two finalists to be interviewed.

Constance Qualls Team building and receiving internal feedback from faculty in CHP was emphasized by Constance Qualls during her interview on Feb. 11. “One of the first thing(s) I want to do is an assessment,” she said. “This is to make sure I know what’s happening, where they’re happening, who people are, what’s working very well based on (faculty opinion) and what isn’t.” Qualls wants to expand the number of doctoral programs of-

He is finishing up 14 years as dean of the Rangos School of Health Sciences at Duquesne University. He strongly believes being a dean is the best possible job because he is able to work with faculty, students and can immediately impact what goes on at the school. Frazer spoke about student success and how he plays a role in guaranteeing such. While at Duquesne, He paid for tutors for freshman within the biology department to ensure student success, he said.

In December, the Board of Trustees released a media packet that stated “existing programs” within the college have “reached maximum facility capacity,” and are unable to grow despite student demand. The proposed capital outlay project calls for a 62,000 square foot center that would cost an estimated $26 million. If approved, the planning phase would begin immediately, with completion expected about 18 months after the start of construction. People in the audience also mentioned how they would like a fiscally responsible dean, which Frazer said, was not a problem.

Professor's research confirms Einstein theory By Dana Whyte Staff Reporter @danadeniseee | news@cm-life.com

The location of a black hole collision was confirmed by Central Michigan University associate professor of physics, Axel Mellinger. The physics professor developed a panoramic image of a galaxy that helped detect a gravitational wave — this wave was the product of two black hole collisions in the cosmos. The image Mellinger captured confirmed one of Albert Einstein’s theories written in 1915, playing a large role in discovering a gravitational wave in the cosmos. Mellinger took photos for his image from Michigan, Texas and South Africa. He began working on the panorama in the 1990s, beginning with an all-sky mosaic image of the Milky Way.

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory used Mellinger’s panoramic image to confirm the location of the black hole collision 1.3 billion light-years away. Mellinger explained his discovery Central Michigan Life. What made you want to create the all-sky mosaic image of the Milky Way? MELLINGER: This is actually the second all-sky panorama I created. The first one I did in the late ‘90s. At that time, I was still shooting on film and that proved to be quite popular. (The panorama) was used in a lot of planetariums and textbooks. As time progressed, the projection systems in planetariums got better so they needed a higher resolution and a larger color depth.

actually started in South Africa. I went there twice, about six months apart, to capture all of the southern sky. Then in early 2009, I went down to Big Ben National Park in Texas where I did a lot of the Northern Hemisphere sky. In the summer of 2009, I took the remaining Northern Hemisphere pictures from up north here in Michigan.

Stephen McLean | Staff Photographer Associate Professor Axel Mellinger poses on Feb. 17 in front of his allsky mosaic of the Milky Way in the Dow Science Complex.

Around 2007, I decided to redo that panorama, this time, with an all-digital camera. It took me about two years, from 2007 to 2009, to complete that picture.

What were those two years like? I had to travel to some remote, dark places in the northern and southern hemisphere. I

When did you notice that your panorama contributed to the announcement? I actually watched their press conference and saw one of their images where they showed the location of the source of the gravitational waves. I immediately noticed that the background looked a lot like my all-sky panorama. Then I went to their website and downloaded a higher resolution copy.

I zoomed in and discovered a few artifacts in that image that were identical to the artifacts in my own image. The (reflection from the camera lens) almost is a signature or a fingerprint of my image. It was very unlikely that they would have a different camera with a different lens that would produce exactly the same kind of reflections. Where did LIGO access your image? They found it on a website called “Aladin,” a server for astronomical images. It is operated by the University of Strasbourg in France. It allows you to access different (images) of the sky. There’s optical wavelengths, infrared and x-rays. They also have my own Milky Way panorama as one of the options.

Bonamego earns $25,000 retention payment, $56,000 in bonuses this season Head Football Coach John Bonamego earned a total of $56,000 in bonuses this season after being awarded his first $25,000 retention payment this week. During the next three years, Bonamego’s contract states that he will receive a $30,000 payment on Feb. 15, 2017, $50,000 on that date in 2018 and $50,000 in 2019. Director of Athletics Dave Heeke said the retention payment was added to Bonamego’s contract as a way to provide an incentive to build the program year by year.

“Those salary levels will continue to rise through the years,” Heeke said. “We want our football program to be successful. We want people to understand that we invest in the program to be successful.” Bonamego will receive $538,000 this year. He qualified for an additional $31,000 in bonuses this year. After being hired in February 2015, Bonamego said he planned on staying at CMU for years to come. The cost of terminating the contract for Bonamego or Central Michigan is

considerably higher than it was in former Head Coach Dan Enos’ contract. If Bonamego or CMU terminates the contract before the end of the 2016 regular season, the party is liable for $1 million. If terminated before the end of the 2017 regular season, the cost is $575,000. For 2018, the number is set at $400,000 and for 2019, the cost is $200,000. -Taylor DesOrmeau and Malachi Barrett Sports Editor and Editor-in-Chief

The speakers discussed multiple mental health topics, including identifying problems, discussing solutions and highlighting best practices on membership campuses. “The well-being of our students is a major focus by MAC membership, and central to this issue is mental health awareness and the varying issues related to this complex issue,” Steinbrecher said in a release Monday. The goal of the Mental Health Summit is to focus on student well-being. “Mental health issues are challenging and it is important to educate coaches,

administrators and students on the complexity of mental health issues, and then ultimately to provide the appropriate resources and assistance needed for their well-being,” Steinbrecher said. At MAC media day on July 30, Steinbrecher said student-athlete health is important, but mental health is not talked about enough. He said one in four of adults ages 18 to 24 struggle with mental health and 85 percent of certified athletics trainers believe anxiety disorders are an issue with student-athletes on their campuses. “We must and we will remove the stigma associated with this topic, as well as provide safe havens for students to seek and receive assistance and appropriate treatment,” Steinbrecher said. “We need to emphasize to all, that it is OK to not be OK.”

Hibbitts to focus on basketball, drops baseball By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter @Salsa_Evan | sports@cm-life.com

Blake Hibbitts is no longer a dual-sport athlete at Central Michigan, but his career is not yet complete. Hibbitts, a senior who was a right-handed pitcher on the baseball team and forward on the basketball team, will focus on basketball and plans to return for the 2016-17 season. A torn ACL during a fall basketball workout kept Hibbitts out for the basketball season, but baseball Head Coach Steve Jaksa said Hibbitts made the decision to leave the baseball program last summer. “He made a choice. It was too much for him to do both and he decided he wanted to stay with

basketball,” Jaksa said. Central Michigan Life reached out to Hibbitts, but he declined to comment. Hibbitts, who started every game for the Chippewas in 201314, moved to a bench role last season. The forward averaged 3.6 points per game last season, but shot .350 from 3-point range in 31 games as CMU won the Mid-American Conference West Division and advanced to the MAC Championship game. Head Coach Keno Davis said Hibbitts has one year of eligibility remaining and is hoping to get him back to full health this summer. “He’s been doing his rehab in the training room, in the strength and conditioning area, but he’s pretty limited in what he can do,” Davis said.

Hibbitts and guard Braylon Rayson will be seniors next year on a roster that will lose guards Chris Fowler, Rayshawn Simmons and Austin Stewart and forward John Simons. “We’ve missed his shooting,” Davis said. “It definitely helped our depth having another player at that position who could spread the court.” Hibbitts has traveled with the team and is behind the bench at home games. Davis said with the tough season Hibbitts has had, it is important to make him feel like part of the team. “As a coach, you make sure to keep the dialogue open to see how they’re doing physically, but also mentally,” Davis said Davis said Hibbitts will not return in any way this season. Last season on the baseball

team, Hibbitts pitched in eight games, with four starts, and finished 0-2 with 12 walks, eight strikeouts, 10 hit batters and an 8.84 ERA. The baseball team won the MAC West Division championship before losing to Akron and Toledo in the MAC Tournament. Hibbitts started four games and had eight appearances, including starting the Clash at Comerica against Michigan State. He had an ERA over eight in both seasons and never registered a victory. Jaksa said he respected Hibbitts’ decision to leave the baseball team and called it a “non-issue.” “I talked to Blake quite a few times,” Jaksa said. “He got his ring. Not many guys win two championships in the same year. Everything’s good but he just

With five games to go in the Mid-American Conference regular season for the Central Michigan men’s basketball team, two come against a familiar foe. The Chippewas rekindle their rivalry with Western Michigan at 2 p.m. Saturday at University Arena in Kalamazoo. CMU (14-12, 7-6 MAC) defeated Toledo 77-69 on Tuesday at McGuirk Arena. The victory propelled the Chippewas into a four-way tie for fifth place in the MAC. Toledo, Northern Illinois and Buffalo also sit at 7-6. Ball State leads the division with an 8-5 MAC record.

75-72 78-64 70-65 74-62 2 p.m. 7 p.m. The Chippewas will play their in-state rival in hopes of climbing back into first place in the MAC West with two weeks to play before the MAC Tournament in Cleveland. The Broncos (10-16, 4-9 MAC) rank at the bottom of the division after falling to Kent State 85-78 in overtime Tuesday night. “You kind of throw the records out when playing in a

big rivalry game,” said Head Coach Keno Davis. “We’re going to have to play with the same type of intensity we did (Tuesday) and try to execute even better to see if we can get a road win in a very difficult environment.” Davis said he had not scouted WMU yet before the Toledo game and met with his coaching staff following Tuesday’s win to prepare for

the rivalry game. He said he has seen WMU while viewing film of other teams and said he would not be surprised if they finish the season strongly. Bronco Head Coach Steve Hawkins is in his 13th season with the Broncos. WMU is led on offense by Thomas Wilder. The sophomore guard averages 18.5 points per game. Junior guard Tucker Haymond has aided Wilder, averaging 15.9 points per game. CMU will close out the regular season against the Broncos at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 4 at McGuirk Arena. In 2014-15, the Chippewas split the season series with WMU, defeating the Broncos at home 70-65 on Feb. 7 before dropping the season finale in Kalamazoo 74-62 on March 6. “It’s going to be fun,” said senior guard Chris Fowler. “It’s a rivalry game. We appreciate the rivalry. It’s been tough every time we go down there. I’m excited to go down there and have another chance to play.” Fowler led the Chippewas in scoring in both games in 2015 and combined for 38 points. Fowler, who is second on the Chippewas with 15.8 points per game, said he is excited for this game like he was against Toledo. “They’re going to execute well; they’re going to play hard no matter what their record might say,” Fowler said. “They’ve lost a lot of close games and they won some

games that people thought they weren’t going to win. We’re going to be ready for a fight and go down there with a lot of focus.” The Chippewas took Wednesday off to rest up for Saturday’s game. Davis said there is typically extra energy when preparing for WMU. He said some of his players may not have been recruited by the “school in Kalamazoo” and may be looking to send a message. “A lot of our guys are from the state,” Davis said. “I know our guys as well as Western’s are going to come out with great intensity. It should be a great game for the fans. Maybe as not as enjoyable for the coaches, but the fans and players should enjoy it.” Davis said the basketball rivalry is equitable to the football rivalry. CMU football has lost its last two meetings with the Broncos by a combined 14 points. “It’s a little bit of a different kind of rivalry in a sport

where you are not supposed to hit anybody in, versus you can get out and get some of your frustration in,” Davis said. “I’ve been a part of a lot of (rivalries) as a coach and this one is one where, not only do you have a lot of focus and intensity — it means a lot to you — but it’s one where you really do respect the other team.”

Track looks to add to its 29 MAC Championship qualifiers By Ryan Warriner Staff Reporter @WarrinerRyan | sports@cm-life.com

With the Mid-American Conference Track and Field Championship meet one week away, athletes have one more chance to qualify for the competition Friday at Grand Valley. The Chippewas have 29 athletes who have automatically qualified in their events. For those who are already qualified, this week will be used as the final real workout to prepare for the championship. “From when you do the workout, to get the benefit, it’s 10 to 14 days,” said Head Coach Mark Guthrie. “This week is when we are going to really give it to them. Once we get through this week, it’s either you have it or you don’t.” The women enter the weekend tied with Kent State for third out of 12 teams with 14 automatic qualifiers, while the men are fourth out of five with 15 qualifiers. This puts the Chippewas slightly ahead of the fifth place MAC preseason ranking for both the men and women. “I think talent wise, we are much better than in years past,” Guthrie said. “Now it’s all about showing up and competing.” CMU had 24 automatic qualifiers in 2015. With one more meet to go, there is still time for other Chippewas to make the cut. There are nine runners and three jumpers who sit just outside the qualifying standards. “Those who are on the bubble (of qualifying), this week is their last chance to put their best foot forward and make a case to get a spot on the bus,” Guthrie said. The MAC Indoor Championships are Feb. 26 and 27 in Akron, Ohio.
