Miller named first-ever vice president and chief diversity officer By Sara Kellner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Andrew Thompson “A.T.” Miller will be Central Michigan University’s first vice president and chief diversity officer, President George Ross announced April 26. Miller will begin as a member of the president’s cabinet after Memorial Day . For seven years, Miller has been the associate vice provost of academic diversity at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. He used to direct Africana studies programs and headed a secondary school in Kenya in the 1980s. “A.T. brings a wealth of experience working with students, faculty and staff,” Ross said in a press release

from University Communications. CMU Title IX Coordinator Katherine Lasher led the search. “Dr. Miller has both an educator’s perspective and that of an administrative leader,” Lasher said in the release. “He has worked with students and been a champion for faculty and pedagogy. The committee is delighted to have A.T. and his husband, Craig Kukuk, join our university and community.” Miller visited campus March 28 for open forums in the Bovee University Center. In his forum, Miller said he would advocate for events with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, having worked a lot with the Ojibwe Language program during his time at University of Michigan. Miller said he believes the use of the

Chippewa name is something that could be reviewed. He also said he wants to improve campus for people with disabilities. “When you improve things for people who are disabled, everyone’s lives improve,” Miller said at the forum. The newly created vice president and chief diversity officer position was assisted by search firm Witt/ Kieffer and candidates were selected by a committee led by Lasher. The position was a primary recommendation of the 2017 Diversity and Inclusion Task Force. Miller won the position over three other candidates: • Carmen Suarez, vice president of global diversity and inclusion at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon.

LIFE IN BRIEF

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

CMU OFFERS DISCOUNTED TUITION TO CITY OF DETROIT, QUICKEN LOANS EMPLOYEES Central Michigan University announced a partnership providing discounted education for employees and their families at Quicken Loans and the city of Detroit April 27. The discount will apply to classes taken online in CMU’s Detroit office or satellite campuses in metro Detroit. Quicken Loans employees and their families will get a 10 percent discount on tuition and City of Detroit employees and families will receive a 15 percent discount, said Sherry Knight, associate vice president for University Communications. CMU will also provide free professional development workshops for employees to develop skills and leadership. “This partnership is an investment in the city of Detroit and its renaissance,” Knight said. Knight said the discount was created because there are fewer scholarship opportunities for online and satellite

campus students. Marcus Matthews, senior associate director of business development at University Communications said the discount is already active. “We are proud to play a part in Detroit’s return to prominence,” said Steven Johnson, vice president for Enrollment and Student Services. “By offering these educational opportunities to employees at Quicken Loans and the city of Detroit, CMU’s exceptional faculty and educational programs will continue our longtime investment in the city and across metro Detroit.” According to University Communications, CMU has offered programs in metro Detroit since 1972. Today, there is a downtown office and five satellite campuses in the Detroit suburbs. -Sara Kellner, Staff Reporter

Jeff Daniels headlines Max and Emily’s Summer Concert Series By Isaac Ritchey Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Actor and musician Jeff Daniels will return to Mount Pleasant to headline Max and Emily’s Summer Concert Series. Jeff Daniels attended CMU in the 1970s but dropped out to pursue a career in acting. The Chelsea native is renowned for his versatile talent as an actor. “College students should be interested in the opportunity to participate in the community where they will live for years to see what these incredible musicians and bands sound like in a unique downtown setting,” Max and Emily’s Owner Chris Walton said. Max and Emily’s, located at 125 E. Broadway St., specializes in sandwiches, soups and breakfast. It also has a catering service. Walton bought the eatery in 2017 after long-time owner Tim Brockman passed away. Max and Emily’s Summer Concert Series was created 10 years ago to provide fun, family-friendly entertainment at no cost to the community, Walton said.

The outdoor venues take place on the corner of Broadway and University in downtown Mount Pleasant. The concerts are sponsored by CMU, downtown Mount Pleasant and Isabella Bank. “In celebrating 10 years, Max and Emily’s continues to look for talented musicians that the community of Mount Pleasant will enjoy,” Walton said. “New musicians and seasoned veterans showcase their musical abilities in a variety of incredible concerts for everyone to enjoy.” Walton believes events like the concert series strengthen the community. Local talent will take the stage at 6 p.m. and headlining acts begin at 7 p.m. Max and Emily’s Summer Concert Series lineup includes: June 28: Brian Vander Ark & Friends The concert series will begin like it did ten years ago with Brian Vander Ark. The songwriter has been a staple of the series, performing all but one year. He has played at the series as a solo act, with the band The Verve Pipe and with friends.

July 19: Monique Berry Local artist Monique Berry was part of the first outdoor concert in Fall 2007. At the time, Monique had been living in California for several years and wanted to come home to play for friends, family and her community. August 9: Paddlebots Mount Pleasant’s very own Paddlebots is new to the series. Featuring percussion, horns and bass, the group has molded its live shows into a “high-energy, endlessly groovy package of musical expression,” Walton said. The band is a staple at Tailgate Village before CMU Football. August 16: The Ragbirds The Ragbirds encourages the crowd to leave their chairs in the street and come up close and dance. Led by Erin Zindle, the band’s music is a unique blend of indie-pop with global rhythms. August 25: Jeff Daniels and The Ben Daniels Band Despite his busy schedule, Jeff Daniels, along with The Ben Daniels Band, will return to Mount Pleasant with their trademark humor, passion and soul to conclude the summer concert series.

HAVE A GREAT

SUMMER Thanks for reading CM Life. This year was filled with notable events, make it a memorable summer.

We did it, Chippewas. We survived another academic year at Central Michigan University. Whether you’re spending your week at the library cramming last-minute for your hardest exam or beginning the dreadful process of hauling furniture from your apartment or dorm, take some time to reflect on everything that happened this year. We celebrated 125 years as a university, looking back at the years and events that helped us become the CMU we know today. We watched our sports teams excel — specifically the women’s basketball team that made history by heading to Spokane, Washington to play in the Sweet 16. Our president, George Ross, made the decision to step down. This semester, the CMU Board of Trustees launched a confiden-

tial search for the 15th president. We also experienced tragedy. The double homicide that took place on March 2 in Campbell Hall brought a fear to this campus we had never known. It also proved to us how well as a community — CMU and Mount Pleasant — can come together to overcome tragedy. Wherever you will be this summer — studying abroad, grinding at an internship or spending time at home with your family — just relax. Give yourself the time to sit back and recharge for the next school year. Come back in the fall feeling ready. Set your goals high for Fall 2018 and execute them. Thanks for reading Central Michigan Life this year. Make sure to follow us online at cm-life.com for coverage throughout the summer. Follow our social media accounts: on Twitter @cmlife, on Facebook at “Central Michigan Life” and on our Instagram @ cmlifephoto. This was an eventful semester. Go have a memorable summer.

Use CM Life as your voice, support student journalism Out of all the columns I have written this year, most have applauded journalism or called for students, faculty and staff to talk to Central Michigan Life and use us as a resource. Here’s another one. This time, I am writing it as the Fall 2018 editor-in-chief. This time, I am calling out to our readers — specifically students — to help us out. Whenever I look at Twitter or Facebook, I see students complaining about something they are angry about on Central Michigan University’s campus — an issue they desperately want to see changed. Yet, they don’t contact us.

Emma Dale Editor-in-Chief

They don’t use the platform we as a collegiate media organization can provide. There are a number of issues on this campus that will still be here when we return from summer break. We will probably be coming back to a newly selected president — whom we had little input in picking

A letter to James Eric Davis Jr. Dear James Eric Davis Jr., Hi. My name is Mike Nichols. We’ve never met, but I hope this letter finds you well. I’d like to tell you a story. I hope it helps. Once upon a time, I had a grandma named Blanche. She was one of the strongest, most beautiful human beings I’ve ever known. She was hilarious, sharp and generous. You would have loved her, James, and I know she would have loved you, because she simply loved everyone; the most unconditionally loving woman the state of New Jersey ever produced. My passion for writing goes all the way back to my days of drawing little picture books for her and countless days of her reading to me as a kid. When I got old enough, I started reading to her. Blanche’s favorite books were the “Harry Potter” series. We read all seven books together, spending hours talking about magic, friendship, courage, and the true theme of those books: the ache of love beyond death. I suspect you’re feeling that ache right now. I loved my grandma very much, just as I’m sure you loved your parents. You see, James, you’re not the only one

who’s watched a family member die in front of you, although I admit our circumstances were vastly different. I was holding my grandma’s hand when she died on July 3, 2011. We’d spent years helplessly witnessing Alzheimer’s disease steal her mind as her body betrayed her to a cruel fate. I still remember the sound of the death rattle leaving her lungs. Sometimes I dream about it. It is a terrible thing to see death take your family. It must feel unbearable to have caused it. I’m sorry about your parents, James. I don’t know all the details of what happened, or what your mental state was when they were shot, but I promise I’m not judging you. My heart breaks for you. You’re an orphan because of what you did. And you’re going to have to live with that ache for the rest of your life. But I want you to know your life still has hope, James. You’re not alone. Your brother and sister wrote how much they love you and want to help you, and I’m sure there are medical and legal professionals in your life who will be

— in the fall and have to attend this university under this person’s reign. Room and board rates will have increased. Tuition will also increase by the time students come back. We have a need for more counseling services. Want to tell the campus and community your thoughts on it? Write a guest column for us or a letter to the editor. Planning a meeting or protest? Email us. Make sure we’re there to cover it. To fulfill your goals, you need to utilize us. You need to support us. Remember, we are the voice of the students.

CONTACT US If you have any feedback, contact us at news@cm-life. com or at editor@cm-life. com. Send us a message on social media, on Facebook at “Central Michigan Life” or on Twitter @cmlife. We are students. We care about what you care about. In my upcoming term as editor-in-chief

I have stressed I want to bring student life back into the paper. Nightlife, social life — the things that students resonate with and the issues that affect you. Let us do that. Tell us what you want to read. Help us help you. Student journalism is important. We can be the catalyst for the change you want to see on your campus. The change that will make your four years here worthwhile. So next year, don’t be a stranger. Come to us for that platform you need to express your voice. Let’s work together. Let’s make CMU a place we are proud to call our home, a place where our best interests are at heart.

Mike Nichols Guest Columnist

there too. Take their help. You’re young. It might seem impossible, but you can still have a good life. Your story isn’t over. I hope you find grace as you begin to write the next chapters. On the Nichols family coat of arms there’s a Latin motto that reads “Illi Nunquam Cedunt.” Roughly translated it means “They never give up.” It’s been the battle cry of my rather pathetic life. Today’s my 31st birthday and on Saturday I’m finally getting my bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University. It took me 12 years because I’m a two-time college drop-out who finally came back as an old guy to finish. Honestly, man, it’s been the loneliest experience of my life. Remembering that Latin motto has protected me through gloomy nights when I just wanted to die because I felt so isolated, worthless and miserable. Nights like that are dangerous because your mind starts guilting you with every bad choice you ever made to get to that point. You’re dealing with a depth of pain I can’t even imagine, but you still have a chance to learn and grow from a situation even as dark and painful as the one you’re in. So, don’t give up James.

Don’t give up on your life because of what happened. And don’t give up on the hope that you could still make a difference for good in our world. I believe if your parents had survived, they would tell you this too. In a way, maybe this letter is how they are telling you. There’s a quote by D.H. Lawrence

that’s stayed with me: “The dead don’t die. They look on and help.” I hope you remember that on nights when you miss them most. Somewhere in eternity, your mother and father still love you. May your story find that love again someday.

Never be afraid to take the next step — at anything in life Well, this is it: my farewell column. I didn’t think it would come this quickly. It seems like it was just yesterday I was the scared freshman who nervously stepped into the Central Michigan Life office for the first time in Summer 2014. But it’s a step I’m glad I took. I would do anything to take that step again — to relive the past four years. Being hired to work here was an unexpected dream come true. I remember the first story I ever wrote as a freshman — a profile on the club bass fishing team. The headline was “Reel Teamwork.” It was on the back page above the classifieds on the good ole’ broadsheet days of CM Life. I didn’t want to belong on the back page above the housing ads and Sudoku. I wanted to move up. I kept working. I spent a lot of time on the fourth floor of Moore Hall, even though every upperclassman and editor scared the hell out of me. I found myself being a part of the resignation coverage of former football coach Dan Enos as a freshman — running around campus canvassing students hoping to get further ahead in the paper. That was a signature moment in my CM Life career. It showed me I can do anything I wanted to if I just decided to not be afraid and take the next step. This job has brought me some of the best memories I’ll ever have and has given me the full collegiate journalistic experience. I was on the volleyball beat when the head coach

Evan Sasiela University Editor

was placed on paid administrative leave and eventually resigned. I have interviewed President George Ross, head football coach John Bonamego and other high-profile people on this campus. CM Life has taken me from the Mid-American Conference Tournament in Cleveland to the first women’s basketball Sweet 16 appearance in Spokane, Washington. I covered the university’s two-year, $20 million budget deficit when it was announced last year and was on campus covering perhaps the darkest day in university history on March 2 after a double homicide in Campbell Hall. Using the power of the Freedom of Information Act, I also broke news that the university paid its College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences dean nearly $300,000 to leave and the dean of University Libraries being fired after Central Michigan University received multiple sexual harassment complaints. I am proud of the work I have done. I believe I helped CM Life continue its long tradition of strong journalism — 100 years next year. There are things I wish I could have done more, but I am leaving with no regrets. Thank you to all the people I have interviewed in my four years. I appreciate your time

and I hope I was fair and accurate in my storytelling. Thank you to the ever-loyal CM Life audience for taking time to read my work and for your feedback — good or bad — over the past four years. I hope I helped you learn a little bit more about CMU and the surrounding community. Thank you to my first and most supportive readers: Mom and Dad. I love you. I hope I made you proud. Lastly, thanks to everyone at CM Life for taking a chance on a kid whose high school journalistic achievement was “Top 5/ Worst 5 School Lunches.” Thank you to all my editors and reporters, and adviser Dave Clark for your guidance. The best part about waking up every day was to drive to work and create a paper with my best friends. I will miss spending my days on the fourth floor of Moore Hall, but I am grateful and blessed to have worked at this publication. I am taking the next step in this wonderful thing called life by interning with MLive/Jackson Citizen Patriot. I’m excited for the opportunity, but there’s no doubt that I will miss CMU and CM Life. My one request to all the readers of this great publication is this: continue reading CM Life. Whether you’re picking up the print piece on Mondays and Thursdays or reading online, I and the others who have dedicated a lot of their college experience here appreciate your

continued readership. As CM Life celebrates its 100th year in 2019, the new staff will continue to tell the stories of this university and community and keep you in the loop. Always remember this paper serves you.

My final word of advice is this: Never be afraid to take that next step — at anything in life. No matter how nervous you may be, put your foot on the ground and walk right in. I promise you won’t regret it. Au revoir.

Student discusses what it’s like working for Parking Services By Hunter McLaren Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Shepherd senior Jessica Greening has worked at Parking Services for three years, patrolling lots and ticketing cars parked where they don’t belong. Despite having profanity and rude gestures thrown at her, Greening continues working to make sure everyone on campus has a place to park. Greening would also like it to be known that people driving through parking lots on campus should really drive slower, please. Greening allowed Central Michigan Life to ride along with her as she patrolled the Lot 33 to see what it’s like to work for Parking Services as a student. CM Life: “What made you interested in this job?” Greening: “I wanted to maybe do something in the court system, so I thought this would look really great on my resume. I was really excited when I first applied, but now it’s just a job. What’s a day on the job like? We work 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., usually. Sometimes we have morning shifts from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. or evening shifts 5-7 p.m. We come in and grab our stuff, like our ticketer, radio and envelopes. Depending on the weather, we walk (or drive) campus and give out tickets and then come back. How many tickets do you issue per day? It depends on the day. Monday usually has more tickets because some people forget to move their cars on Sunday. For an average day in the middle of the week, probably about 20 to 25 tickets. Do you get hate mail?

Q&A

JESSICA GREENING SHEPHERD SENIOR

We don’t really get hate mail, but we actually as a group go on Twitter and look at the dumb stuff people post and laugh at it. Stuff like “Parking Services needs to go die” or “Have a good day everyone, except Parking Services.” That’s my favorite one. When we’re out (working) we do get a lot of profanity yelled at us and (middle) fingers. You just kind of grow used to it though. It sucks that you have to grow used to it as part of the job. The people can be mean, but some people will say, “Thanks for doing this.” We get a lot of faculty come up to us and say “Hey, thanks for ticketing this lot. There’s a lot of students in here and we don’t have a lot of spots.” I always try to tell people who don’t like us that if we didn’t do our job you wouldn’t have a parking spot. Freshmen would be all over your spots. How do you know when someone is parked where they

are not supposed to be? (Lot 33) is a commuter lot, so if you look around all the passes on the vehicles should have a yellow sticker or a faculty permit. If we see a freshman, they have a red sticker, so we know that they’re not supposed to be here and we go ticket them. A self-pass is purple so if we see purple in a commuter lot, that’s a ticket. You can usually tell when they’re parked on the endcap, because there isn’t another line on the other side of their car. We’re just kind of used to the lots so we know where they’re not supposed to be. It’s kind of just common sense to be honest. For meters, we have our Pango app. People are always like, ‘How do you know if I’m paying or not?’ We have an iPad connected to the Pango system and it shows all their plates and who’s paying and who’s not. You see different people every day and you have different interactions with people, but it’s

Hunter McLaren | Staff Photographer Shepherd senior Jessica Greening issues a ticket on April 26 in Lot 50.

kind of boring. It’s a boring job. This is all we do, drive up and down the rows. Some of us are trained in the office and we work with the full-timers. We’ll get some experience and knowledge about the rules of parking so we can better explain them when people ask us. What do you do in the office? There are a lot of phone calls during the day. People come in to pay tickets or get permits. Faculty will come in and get day permits or students will come in and get week or two week permits. Everyone with a yearly pass gets two free weeks in case their car breaks down or something, so we get a lot of students getting their free week or two free weeks. We give out one-hour loading passes to people who need to load up their stuff. We get a lot of angry customers in there too. After a day of yelling, you’re kind of exhausted. What parking lots usually

get tickets? There are certain lots where you know you’re going to find a ticket, like faculty lots. If I were to go over by the (Education and Human Services) building, that big lot in the front, there’s usually a ticket in there. A lot of freshmen like to park in the residence lots, especially the south ones. What do you like about the job? When somebody says, ‘Hey, thanks for doing your job,’ that’s really cool to me. You’re making an impact on something. It might not be big, but you know it’s there. It’s cool to be in contact with the police officers. You make friends with the officers. You learn a lot about the behind the scenes stuff. I was working that day the shooter was here. It was scary but interesting being in the dispatch area hearing them work on it, and it makes you feel safe. What’s it like to work with

the police? It’s intimidating, but it’s cool. They’re looked up to by so many people and you get to work with someone like that, it’s like working with a role model. Are there any misconceptions about the job? A lot of people think we have quotas, but we don’t. If we had quotas and we got commission off of it, I think there would be a lot more people wanting to (work for Parking Services) but we don’t. We just ticket people who aren’t in the right spot. We’re not out to get people, we’re really not. We don’t target people. We just happen to see your car there a bunch of times and it seems like we’re targeting you. Is there anything you’d like to share with other students? Just recognize that we are also students. We’re not mean people. We’re your friends, your neighbors. Just have some respect for us. If you had a bad job, we’d have respect for you.

MANAGING MONEY How students can save, spend and invest in their post-grad lives By Mitchell Kukulka and Melissa Frick Assistant Community Editor Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

For the many students who will be finishing their time at Central Michigan University when commencement ceremonies begin May 4, an intimidating new chapter in life will be starting — becoming an actual adult. One aspect of adult life not all students have much experience with is how to properly manage, spend and invest their money. “I honestly haven’t thought about making investments yet,” said Bay City senior Emily Reitzel. “My only financial plans as of now are to just put away whatever I make from working into savings and keep saving up for (graduate)

school.” Mark VanVoohees, finance and law faculty member and program director for Personal Financial Planning majors, believes there’s never a bad time for graduates to start investing money, though it helps to start as early as possible. “The most important thing is to start investing, but it has to coincide with making sure you’re paying all your bills and everything else,” VanVoohees said. “That’s what the planning comes down to — ‘how much do I allocate, what is my debt-to-income ratio, can I afford to invest?’ Every year you wait to start planning for your goals, it takes that much longer to achieve them. The earlier you get started, the better your results are going to be in the long run.” In addition to investing for

the future, graduates with student loans to pay off will have a potentially large amount of debt to pay off over the course of several years following their graduation. Nancy White, chair of the Department of Finance and Law, said the most important thing to remember when paying off student loans is to not incur credit card debt, and to pay off loans with the highest interest rate first.

GET INVESTED For Wisconsin senior Christian Taylor, investing is an attractive idea, though not one he’s focusing on at the moment. “I have thought about investing money, but have not gotten around to it,” Taylor said. “I know how important it is to invest, and I intend to, but when you are not making

a regular salary, it is pretty difficult. I anticipate myself doing so in the future.” For those looking to start investing, VanVoohees said a smart place to start would be to work with a financial adviser. VanVoohees said students fresh out of college without much money can work with a fee-based adviser to help them plot a course to follow in their investments. As helpful as investing can be in securing one’s financial future, VanVoohees said there are other factors for students to consider as well. “Investing is only a small portion of anybody’s financial health,” VanVoohees said. “(Students) need to look into making sure they have proper legal documents — including powers of attorney — so if they need help financially or medically, they have someone.

$ $

When they’re buying products like insurance, it doesn’t hurt to get a second opinion so they’re not being sold something that’s not adequate for them.”

DIETING ON A BUDGET Even without considering investments and loan debt, managing money carefully can affect another aspect of life — dieting. Michelle Estrade, faculty member for human environmental studies, serves as the faculty adviser for the Registered Student Organization Project Mind Grow, which aims to educate the campus community on how to diet more effectively and affordably. Estrade said the most important thing students can do while dieting on a budget is to schedule and plan out their

meals on a daily basis. “If you feel something is really important, you should spend a bit of time making sure you pay attention to it, and nutrition should be no exception,” Estrade said. “If you force yourself into a situation where you constantly think, ‘I don’t have anything to eat, what do I do,’ you’re forced into a situation were you’re hungry and looking for something convenient. That’s often expensive and low in nutritional value.” Estrade also recommends shopping for fruits and vegetables while they are in season, or when they are still being grown. “People always complain about fruits and vegetables being too expensive to afford, but fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season can be very cheap,” Estrade said.

I started at Central Michigan Life in August of 2016. Since then I’ve met more people than freshman year me could have imagined. From fellow students, government officials, community members and athletes, it’s been a privilege to document this university and community. This is a small collection of some of my favorite photos since I’ve started at Central Michigan Life. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities. I couldn’t be thankful enough to the subjects for allowing me to photograph them.

Joshua Coffin, Watervliet senior

“I’m gonna miss the campus — I think it’s a beautiful thing. My friend and I have been walking around, going to buildings I haven’t been to before. (I’ll also miss) friends — I guess that’s a thing too.”

CHECK US OUT ONLINE Jacob Van Valkenburg, Coopersville senior

“I’m really going to miss walking around campus and spending time at the library. (I’ll miss) all the friends I’ve made while I’ve been going here. I’ve really enjoyed spending time outside on campus, going to football games and hanging out with my friends.”

Mountain Town owner adapts to saturated market CMU alumnus

“You have to be great, because if you’re not good, you’re out the door – you’re done,” he said. Holton recalled how much easier it was to sell his beer years ago. However, his beer now sells in markets outside of Michigan, such as northern Indiana and northern Ohio To keep his business on top, Holton has recently paid special attention to the online presence of his businesses, hiring a website evaluation company out of Denver, Colorado. From the evaluation, he learned he needs a quicker load time on his website and he would benefit from adding a frequently asked questions tab.

Holton operates one of the first breweries in Michigan By Ashley Schafer Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Walking into Millrose Brewing Co. in Barrington, Illinois, 21-year-old Jim Holton immediately noticed the large copper cladded kettles sitting in the middle of a room, flanked by field-stone fireplaces. Taken by their beauty, Holton and his friends ordered a flight of beer to sample the flavors the brewery offered. When the server presented the flight, Holton remembered admiring the range of color from amber to stout. An idea passed through Holton’s mind: “I should open my own brewery in Mount Pleasant.” Holton said he was already making his own beer in his apartment on Fancher Street, after he had learned the art of brewing from a VHS instructional tape. CMU alumnus and former mayor, Holton has made himself a prominent community member by providing jobs and leading the Michigan craft brewing industry. In 1995, Holton graduated from Central Michigan University with a business degree. The Pinckney native thought of heading downstate to work, but after spending a summer in Mount Pleasant, he said the town had grown on him. He was networking with business owners in town and the idea of opening a brewery was brought to the forefront of his mind. One thing led to another, and on Oct. 9, 1996 Mountain Town Station opened its doors, serving

food and craft beer with a brewpub license. “We might have been just a touch ahead of our time,” Holton said. Holton said he believes the key to his success was focusing on food first and beer second. Beer is a staple, as well as a passion, of Holton’s establishments. Over the years the competitive brewing market and the unpredictability of the hospitality industry has forced him to keep innovating.

THE EARLY DAYS Holton never worked in a restaurant before opening Mountain Town — the business provided an exponential learning curve for him. For the first few years, it was a daily struggle to keep the doors open. “This business is all about numbers,” he said. “When you look at it, it’s not in the dollars that you save or earn, it is pen-

nies. And it comes down to pennies in this type of business.” Holton and his team would assemble in the “war room” – an office in the basement of the restaurant – and discuss how they could improve upon the last day, asking questions such as “How do we survive?” and “How do we make the restaurant better?” Every detail of the restaurant, from uniforms to the overhead lighting in the dining room, was analyzed for potential improvements. “Every day I would look at something different coming in here,” he said. “I still do that, but not as intense as I did back then. We’re a little more stable now.” Holton has since opened several other businesses, including the expansion of his brewing operations with microbrewery Mountain Town Brewing Co., Alma Brewing Co., and Camille’s on the River, a restaurant located inside Mountain Town Station.

CRAFT BREWING IN A SATURATED MARKET The craft brewing industry in Michigan has expanded to the point of saturation, forcing Holton to keep revamping his operation. “It’s a tougher business now,” he said. “The microbrew business is very, very difficult right now -- like any business -- but we’re adapting to it.” Michigan now has over 200

craft breweries, giving consumers an abundance of options compared to two decades ago. “What are you going to buy and how do you buy it? Is it the prettiness of the label? Is it the one that’s on sale?” Holton said, putting himself in the consumers mind. The competitiveness of the market has only led to higher standards and top-quality products for consumers.

CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMUNITY A townie for almost 30 years, Holton is in the midst of leaving his mark on the community of Mount Pleasant. “I wouldn’t be the person I am if it wasn’t for the people I met in this community,” he said. “Yes, I could just go to work and go home every single day, but I think that would be totally unfulfilling.” Being involved took him down the path of joining the Mount Pleasant City government, despite his golden rule that business owners shouldn’t publicly participate in politics. w CONTINUED ON | 28

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

EMPLOYMENT SERVICES WILL PROVIDE JOBS TO 1,500 THIS SUMMER

While the majority of the 5,000 students who work on campus at Central Michigan University leave campus in May for the summer, roughly 1,500 of them stay in Mount Pleasant to work on campus. Out of 250 departments on campus, “most all of them” employ students during the summer, said Amy Thering, manager of Student Employment Services. Trenton junior Kyle Garner has been serving food to students at Robinson Residential Restaurant for three years. He said his favorite part about working on campus is his employers’ willingness to work around his class schedule. “You give them your schedule at the beginning of the semester, tell them how many hours you want to work, and they work around that,” Garner said. “I like that it’s super flexible.” Like many other CMU students, Garner is returning home over the summer, but he said if he were to stay on campus, he would definitely want to continue working because

HOLTON | CONTINUED FROM 27

In 2001 he was appointed to the Mount Pleasant Planning Commission, moving his way to city commission and eventually becoming Mayor for three years; in 2009, 2010 and 2015. Working for public office, Holton strived to strengthen ties between the city and the university to make the community better. “No matter where you go in life get involved in your community,” he said. “It’s fulfilling not only for yourself, but it’s also for the community. And it makes you a better person.” Holton had fun working for the city but is happy to be a “citizen” once again, however he still stays as involved as possible. “His end goal at the end of the day is to make the community better,” Mount Pleasant Mayor

the university allows students to work up to 40 hours a week during the summer. During the school year, students are limited to working 50 hours on campus per two-week pay period to ensure compliance with the Affordable Care Act, Thering said. However, they may work up to 80 hours each pay period while working over the summer. “Student academic schedules are more relaxed during the summer, which can make it easier for students to work,” Thering said. Dining and Catering Services, Building Maintenance and University Recreation are the departments that employ the most students during the summer. On-campus employees may also be eligible for work study, which 175 students will be earning over the summer, Thering said. On-campus student jobs are still available, and students can find more information on the Student Employment Services page on CMU’s website.

Allison Quast-Lents said about Holton. “Whether that’s opening a restaurant or brewery, providing jobs for tons and tons of people, or giving back to the community.” Holton is also a former chairman of the Michigan Restaurant Association and continues to participate in MRA conferences even though it is not required of him. President and CEO of MRA Justin Winslow has worked with Holton over the years, turning their business relationship into what he now considers to be a friendship. He said Holton had valuable first-hand experience working in the industry that helped them make important decisions. “He’s dedicated to this industry and wants the voice of what we do here to be heard by those who make decision in (Washington) D.C.,” Winslow said. “He’s important in those meetings and speaks up in those meetings.”

-Emilly Davis, Staff Reporter

Holton is respected at the local level by even his top competitor John Hunter, who owns Hunter’s Ale House, the Cabin, O’Kelly’s Sports bar & Grill and Wayside Central. “I’ve looked up to him as a mentor for years and he runs top notch operations,” Hunter said. “He’s a good person as well. He employs a lot of people in the area and gives a lot of opportunity.” Holton and his wife, Karen, employ about 125 people with their various businesses, and Holton keeps that fact in mind when he makes business decisions. Every day is a new challenge, but to Holton that’s the appeal of working in the hospitality and brewing industries. “You might see more expansion of this business,” he said about Mountain Town Brewing in the future. “Whether it’s another concept in town, or something like that. You never know what could happen.”

DREAM DESTINATION • Head coach Guevara talks NCAA run, contract extension

By Anthony Cook Staff Reporter

Sue Guevara doesn’t like to toot her own horn and it’s no secret. But at the annual end-of-theyear banquet surrounded by the awards and accolades she and her team accumulated in their historic 2017-18 season, the women’s basketball head coach came to a realization. “When we were at the banquet, and they start talking about everything we have done since I’ve been here and I thought, ‘Oh wow, I guess we have done a whole lot since we’ve been here,” Guevara said. Guevara called it her “Reflections of Passion,” which is also the title of one of her favorite songs by the artist Yanni. While she hasn’t completely come to terms with Central Michigan women’s basketball’s magical run to the Sweet 16, she hopes she can begin to fully appreciate the work that has been done. “I don’t give it a lot of thought and I’m looking forward to reading all of that,” Guevara said. “I have to do a better job of really appreciating everything that my staff and I have been able to accomplish while we’re here.” Central Michigan Life sat down with Guevara to talk about her NCAA Tournament run, new

contract and her favorite moments from the best season in program history. CM Life: You’ve always been appreciative of your fan base that follows the team everywhere you go, what can you say about the fans at CMU? Guevara: It’s a two-way street, they give to us and we give back. They make an impact on our lives and we make an impact on theirs. It’s been a lot of fun to see the community of Chippewa na-

tion when we are out and about. It’s kind of funny when you’re out there and you get a “Fire Up Chips,” or “Hey coach, we saw your team play. We’re now Chippewa fans.” When all the sports bars (in Mount Pleasant) are packed hours before game time to watch us play — that’s awesome. That means those people are going to come back to McGuirk Arena, and some are going to come to McGuirk for their first time

because of what they saw. The community support here has been unbelievable and I hope that it continues to grow. How big was it for your program and the school to get their name out on a national level with the NCAA Tournament appearance? (The program) was seen across the country in the Sweet 16. I mean, think about that. We were one of the Top 16 teams in the country.

We beat the Big 10 Champions, the Big 10 Tournament Champions (Ohio State) on their home court. So, when the announcers start talking about that, and they’re talking about CMU women’s basketball, it was a nice feather in the cap for all the Chippewas out there. In your nearly 40-year career, have you ever had a better coaching experience than this season? I’ve never coached a team

like this before — never. I’ve been around some championship programs. I go back to the selflessness of this team. I go back to the work ethic of this team. It was never about an individual’s effort as much as it was about the team. I know people say that all the time, but we did it for 35 games. In your recent contract extension, how does it feel to have w GUEVARA | 37

Former star pitcher Knapp continues softball career in Italy By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Rachael Knapp can’t stop playing softball. A former pitcher who led Central Michigan to a 37-15 record in her senior season, Knapp left Margo Jonker Stadium as one of the greatest softball pitchers CMU fans have ever seen. Now, her career continues in Europe. Knapp signed with the Metalco Thunders — a professional team in the Italian Federation Baseball Softball League. “It all happened so fast,” Knapp said. “My coach said when looking for a pitcher, a friend of her’s brought up my name and now here I am in Italy. “I don’t even fully know how I got this opportunity.” The St. Joseph native is first in appearances (138), complete games (83) and innings pitched (752.2). She ranks second in alltime strikeouts (815), third in wins (69) and fifth in shutouts (25). Knapp cemented herself as one of the top pitchers to ever take the circle for CMU. Regardless of how she got it, the 5-foot-7 right-handed pitcher dreamed to keep her softball career alive — even if it meant going to a foreign country. Professional softball in Italy is different from that in the U.S. Most players in Italy have fulltime jobs and take classes at local universities while they compete. These players take advantage of the Italian Federation Baseball Softball League to be recognized by national teams. In Italy, sports and school do not coincide like they do in the U.S. Since Knapp attended CMU from 2014-17, she is one of few team members who isn’t in college. For Knapp, the experience is something she has never seen before. “Playing in a different country

is surreal,” Knapp said. “It’s incredible and so interesting to see how people and players can bond over a sport no matter the language barrier. It opens your eyes to new ways of thinking, living and socializing.” Knapp described arriving and living in Italy as a “culture shock.” There are only a few players on her team that speak English, so they translate conversations for Knapp and her teammates. There are specific key words Knapp will hear that she uses as indicators, but otherwise she just tries to have all conversations translated. Knapp’s former head coach, Margo Jonker, said she had experience in softball in Europe. Jonker describes Knapp’s pitching style as a perfect fit for European softball. “I knew with her confidence and ability to pitch she could be very successful in (Italy),” Jonker said. “It takes a lot of intestinal fortitude to go by yourself to another country and be with a team where most of them don’t speak your language. I’m very proud of her.” Knapp is currently in contention for the Italian Cup, which she compared to a preseason tourna-

ment in college. Because of certain league restrictions, Knapp is not allowed to pitch more than seven innings in a two-game series because she is a foreign player. Knapp has pitched in twice, totaling 14 innings without allowing a run. She’s surrendered six hits while striking out 21 batters in Italy. “Players are quite similar,” Knapp said. “It sounds silly, but it’s the same game we play no matter the country we play it in. Same concepts, same attitudes and same overall goals.” Senior CMU catcher Maison Kalina said it’s no surprise that Knapp is succeeding in Italy. Kalina caught Knapp’s pitches for the last three straight years. “(Knapp) has such a calm presence on the mound and you could always trust her to take care of business in the circle,” Kalina said. “She was always great here, so why not bring that over to Italy?” Knapp will be in Italy until mid-July for the first part of the Thunders’ season before it picks back up in August for the second portion. She won’t be able to make it back to the U.S. for any CMU games, but, she still keeps up with the team and watches

games on her computer. She could either go back to her two jobs in the U.S. — one as

a recreational therapist and the other as pitching instructor at a softball facility — or attempt to

continue her professional career. “Genuinely, I never thought I was good enough for an opportunity such as this so I’m still processing that I could possibly continue to play after this as well,” Knapp said. “I’m hoping that when opportunities come up the right decision will present itself.” Meanwhile, Knapp wants to develop her pitching skills with a “bulldog” mentality while growing as a person off the field. Even with all of the time she spent away from those family and friends, she said she is proud to represent CMU’s softball program around the world. “My overall goal in Italy is to grow and mature as an individual and athlete,” Knapp said. “I get a chance to travel around Europe while continuing to play a sport that I love.”

Football is back on Saturdays and the Central Michigan football team couldn’t be happier. During the CMU spring game on April 21, fans got a chance to check out the football team on head coach John Bonamego’s favorite day of the week — Saturday. “I just want to first off thank everyone who made it out (April 21), shoot it’s probably more than some of our midweek crowds,” Bonamego said. ”Hopefully it is a sign of things to come (next season).” The attendance at the spring game totaled 4,251 people. During the 2017-18 season, Kelly/Shorts Stadium saw 13,504 fans per game over five games, according to box scores. Three of the Chippewas’ five home games last season were weekday games. CMU only played in six Saturday games, including the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. This year, 11 of the Chippewas’ 12 games are scheduled on a Saturday. All six home games are on Saturday — including the Western Michigan rivalry. “Generally, football is

SEASON BREAKDOWN In the nonconference schedule, the Chippewas take on Kentucky, Kansas, Maine and Michigan State. CMU will match up with MSU for the first time since 2015. Central Michigan has earned three wins in 10 games against MSU. CMU’s most recent victory came in 2009, when it topped MSU 29-27. Former CMU star quarterback Dan LeFevour threw a touchdown pass to come within one point with

played on Saturdays and I think our season ticket holders and fans would agree it is a good day to play on,”

Bonamego said. “We will get a good showing this year.” Senior linebacker Alex Briones said the energy at the

only 32 seconds left. After a failed attempt to Antonio Brown in the two-point attempt for the win, CMU corralled an onside kick and converted a 42-yard field goal to win on national television. The Chippewas’ largest margin of victory was a 20-3 win against MSU in 1991. Only one game in history between MSU and CMU has been in Mount Pleasant. The 2018 game will be played in East Lansing.

RULE CHANGES The NCAA decided to change rules for kickoffs that will give returners an option to call for a fair catch anywhere before the 25-yard line

— resulting in a touchback for the returning team. Since player safety is a primary concern, Bonamego respects the decision of the NCAA in making severe changes to kickoffs for the 2018 season. “It’s a good start in the right direction,” he said. “Anything that makes the game more safe to play without dramatically changing the game — I’m all in for it.” Previously, returners could only call for a fair catch in the end zone in what may be considered the most dangerous play in football. “There’s still more things that we can do to make it a safer play,” Bonamego said.

I’m very happy they see how far the program has come, and they know how I want to stay here. This is not a transition job for me. I really love being at Central Michigan University. This is my destination job. Juniors Presley Hudson and Reyna Frost are both back next year, along with freshman Micaela Kelly to round out your returning starters.

Winning is always fun, but how much fun we had and how much fun people had while watching us. I’ve had so many people tell me how free they played, and they passed the ball, they worked hard. We were just a joy to watch.
