Provost announces schedule for Spring 2021 semester By Courtney Pedersen Associate Editor news@cm-life.com

In an email to the Central Michigan University community, Provost Mary Schutten announced the seven “wellness days” that will replace spring break and “gentle days” for the Spring 2021 semester. Dates chosen are the following: n Thursday, Feb. 4 n Monday, Feb. 22 n Wednesday, March 10 n Tuesday, March 23 n Friday, April 2 n Wednesday, April 7 n Friday, April 30 “These dates are intended to provide time away from homework, class activities and meetings and other stressors, so students and faculty can enjoy a much-needed and well-deserved break,” Schutten said. In addition to announcing the wellness days, the email stated options for students to take due to uncertainty

surrounding grades. Undergraduate and graduate students have the opportunity to withdraw from one or more fall courses through Dec. 19. Undergraduate students also have until that date to take Credit/No Credit on one or more courses. “This has been a very challenging year, yet it still can be a successful SCHUTTEN: “This one,” Schutten said. has been a very “Students, stay engaged challenging year.” in your classes, participate fully — ask questions and join the discussion. “ In a Sept. 29 email, Schutten announced that students will not receive a spring break during the Spring 2021 semester. Instead, there will be five “wellness days” of no classes throughout the semester. In addition, classes will be fully online for the first week of the semester, Jan. 11-15. Starting the next week, Jan. 18, courses will shift to meet in person, online or Hy-Flex format. Exam week will be held May 3-7.

Sociology 350 students produce a survey for Undergraduates By Barbara Garcia Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Sociology students have spent the Fall 2020 semester creating a survey to see the effects of COVID-19 on undergraduate students at Central Michigan University. Sociology, anthropology and social work faculty member Mary Senter had her SOC 350 students develop a survey with the underlying theme of COVID-19 and everyday life. SOC 350: Social Research Methodologies is a required course for sociology, youth studies, and social and criminal justice majors. The survey was filled out anonymously by undergraduates, who were incentivized by the chance to win a gift card. Results from the survey are being compiled and will be completed by mid-November.

“There are two parts to the quality of surveys,” Senter said. “The quality of the questions and quality of the sample.” The survey highlights three areas where COVID-19 has affected students, including socially, politically and family life. Senter spoke on the importance of diversity in regard to the survey to receive the most accurate data. There were two sections of the course that worked together to be a part of the making of this survey. There were nine teams within the classes that were assigned a client to help students brainstorm questions

and understand where issues are coming from. The clients involved were President Bob Davies, Mayor Will Joseph, City Manager Nancy Ridley, Executive Director of Counseling Services Melissa Hutchinson and Dr. George Kikano, vice president of health affairs. “After hearing from these individuals, we took their interest and our knowledge about research ethics and conduct, and we all composed our survey together,” Howell junior Theresa Leffert said. Each group focused on an issue that interested them, which was later put into one complete survey.

“In my team, we considered the mental health of students, hunger, financial stress and the possibility of catching COVID-19,” Lansing senior James Rawson said. Some other groups decided to zero in on different topics like the dynamics of family during a pandemic. The groups got to choose their topic and develop their questions. “My group focused on how people are socializing during the pandemic,” Leffert said. “We wanted to learn more about how social lives have changed and how it has affected people.” Once the results are compiled, students will be using that information to write a research paper on their topics. “It will be a great tool for people to see how students have been affected and how changes can and should be implemented,” Traverse City junior Madelynne Gregory said.

PRESERVING HISTORY, MAKING NEW MEMORIES Sickelkas have plan to ‘rejuvenate’ century-old building that housed two CMU presidents

ave and Susan Sickelka watched as four movers transferred all their possessions from an orange semi-truck into their 114-year-old home. Floorboards creaked and thuds echoed against the walls filled with pealing, yellowed wall-

paper as boxes were placed in designated rooms. At the beginning of the year, the Sickelkas committed to a 10-year “rejuvenation project” of an old house that sits at 301 E High St. The house was built between 1902 and 1906. Charles Grawn,

the third president of Central Michigan Normal School, lived there for 13 years. Throughout the past century, Central Michigan presidents, faculty and students have resided in the seven bedrooms, three floors and 3,000 square feet.

The Sickelkas purchased the house with a goal to preserve its rich history. The couple is not new to renovation projects. They feel compelled to work on old homes and are excited as they begin their third project. “Everyone is drawn to old houses, because there are always layers of stories – who lived there, who they were connected to, what they did,” Susan said. “In new construction, there are no stories.”

AN ACT OF FAITH The Sickelkas are both clergy. They were drawn to the Mount Pleasant area on what they described as an “act of faith.” They hope to start a congregation in the area, while progressing toward rejuvenating their new home. The married couple are currently living 600 miles apart as Dave fulfills his post-sabbatical obligations as pastor of a church in Des Moines, Iowa. He plans to visit over Thanksgiving and Christmas break. He won’t officially move back until next October. In the meantime, Susan said hundreds of boxes sit on floors throughout the house. Still, their shared goal remains the same. This is the most comprehensive housing project they have worked on, the couple said. They have also worked on a 1907 Indiana home and a 1920 home in Des Moines, Iowa. The Sickelkas are referring to the project as “rehab” or “rejuvenation,” We thought th because they don’t intend to source antique pieces to make it a complete was perfect b restoration.

That’ The Sickelkas bought the house for $137,500. To do the restoration of rootedness they want, and what the house needs, Susan said it would cost more want to base than $200,000. Since moving in, the Sickelkas and ministr have reconstructed part of the side porch, painted, cleaned, pulled trees and installed a new waterline. Susan said the next project is gutting the kitchen. As they redo the kitchen, the Sickelkas plan to keep the original wood and use it to create cabinets inside the home. The woodwork around the home makes it unique. “Most of the wood trim and staircase woodwork is original to the home and remains unpainted,” Downtown Development Director and part of Mount Pleasant’s Historic District Michelle Sponseller said. “Most homes of this age would have had a homeowner paint the trim at some point, so it’s wonderful to see. Given the age of the woodwork it now has a beautiful honey color.” Once the kitchen is finished and COVID-19 subsides, the Sickelkas plan on inviting the Mount Pleasant and CMU community to events and parties. Sponseller said projects like the Sickelkas’ house are important for shared community experiences. She looks forward to seeing the home preserved for future generations.

THE HISTORY ON HIGH The house on High Street originally belonged to George Lawrence, who sold the home to Charles Grawn in 1900, according to a story in the Isabella County Enterprise newspaper. According to the article, the home caught fire in May 1900, leaving Grawn and his wife, Helen, with a home on a lot to rebuild. Due to this, Grawn did not list the home as his permanent address until a Central Michigan Normal School housing bulletin for the year 1906-1907. The home became the residence of choice for school presidents.

In 1918, Eugene Clarence Warriner became the fourth President of Central Michigan Normal School. The Isabella County enterprise announced Warriner’s start at the school and his purchase of the home from Grawn in March 1918. Warriner moved in with his wife, Ellen, and lived there until his retirement in 1939. He was the last university president to reside in the house on High Street. In 1942, the university purchased what is now the Carlin Alumni House to house CMU presidents. The house was then owned for a short period of time by Morris J. and Audrey Winslow before being purchased by the Shurtliff family. The Shurtliff family lived in the house from the mid-60s until the passing of Louise Shurtliff in 2013. “We thought this house was perfect because there were natural connections to its story, CMU and the people who lived here,” Dave said. “That’s the kind of rootedness that we want to base our lives and ministry on.”

GROWING UP IN THE HOME “As a little kid, I told my mom I hoped the house they chose had a fireplace and a window seat. That’s how I would gage the houses we looked at,” Carla Jimison said. “The house my parents bought had both of those.” Jimison was about four years old when her parents, Jay and Louise Shurtliff, bought the house. Jimison, her two sisters and younger brother all grew up in the home. It belonged his house to the family from the mid-1960s until the Sickelka’s recent purchase in 2020. because Jay Shurtliff was a ceramics professor for 39 years at Central Michigan University. natural During that time, he updated the wiring of the home, turned the barn that once held o its story, horses into a pottery studio, updated old wall paper and carpeting, repainted the outside of the home and porch, and reroofed the house. eople who His wife, Louise, kept up the garden ’s the kind and plants surrounding the home. When the Sickelka’s bought the house, there were remnants of plants from the original s that we plans of the yard – Trillions on the east side of the house, Lady Slippers on the our lives north side and Mystery Lilies that blossomed every year. ry on. Many of these plants played a special part in Jimison’s childhood, especially the Mulberry tree that lived in the yard before the Shurtliff family did. “In the summers when the mulberries were on, we would end up with purple feet if we played outside without our shoes on,” said Jimison. “We always made more friends that time of year, because people would love to come over and pick mulberries.” The window seat remained one of Jimison’s favorites in the house. As a kid she discovered if she crawled underneath the seat, the original wallpaper of the home could be found close to the floorboards. She was also captivated by the original windows and glass on the house that were hand blown, so they reflected bubbles and waves when she looked outside. The door frame between the foyer and dining room still has the penciled lines marking the height of growing children. Jimison recalls her mom placing the ruler on their head and standing them straight against the wall whenever she noticed them growing. The family later turned the basement into an apartment that housed female CMU students. The basement had a separate entrance from the home, so the family and girls living in the apartment rarely cross paths. The home was where many of the family’s biggest moments took place – from holidays to the beginning of an art business in the pottery studio out back. Jimison’s eldest sister was married in the home. Jimison held her wedding reception there. Jimison said she is excited that someone has interest in preserving the place where some of her most significant memories still reside.

imilar to most small businesses across the country, Dog Central has adjusted its operations to comply with COVID-19 guidelines. These adjustments include requiring customers to wear masks and regularly cleaning high touch areas. Dog Central has also implemented takeout only after 10 p.m. Owner Paul McFall took to Facebook on Sep. 29 to express some concerns he’s had since opening. In the post, he discussed issues stemming from customers’ behaviors of not wearing masks. For Dog Central, its mask requirement will reflect what the health department recommends. “The health department has made it pretty clear that they’re going to still recommend masks after the governor’s orders have run out,” McFall said. “I will definitely be doing whatever the health department recommends.” Despite these concerns, McFall said 99 percent of customers follow the rules set in place at Dog Central. Central Michigan Life spoke with McFall about his experience running a business during COVID-19. HOW HAS OPERATING DOG CENTRAL BEEN SINCE COVID-19? It’s definitely been different. I mean we are used to a big student rush in the fall and that’s where business thrives. We’ve had our moments during Thursday and Saturday nights where we have been busy, but it’s just a shade of what it used to be in comparison to before COVID. We haven’t noticed it so much during our lunch and dinner. Our lunch and dinner are primarily locals and people who are working downtown so that didn’t really change much for us throughout COVID, but our late nights have definitely changed a lot.

Q&A

WHAT KIND OF RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE YOU SETTING IN DOG CENTRAL TO FOLLOW COVID-19 GUIDELINES? Of course, everybody is wearing masks (and) of course everybody is always wearing gloves. I do have a third party cleaning service that comes in every day. We have been doing that for years just to help turn our business around after a very busy late-night. (We have been implementing) staff protocol in terms of wiping down our iPad tablets, wiping down the front door handle and things that are going to be commonly touched by customers coming in. One thing we have been doing with our late-night service is serving takeout after 10p.m. only. It really allows us to accomplish social distancing while actually being able to turn heads through the door. DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCES YOU CAN SHARE TO SHED LIGHT ON WHAT DOG CENTRAL IS FACING WHEN PEOPLE ARE UNWILLING TO WEAR MASKS? I had a couple come in who both insisted that they were medically unable to wear a mask, and they had a lanyard around their neck like something you would see if you had sideline seats at a stadium, a big lanyard with a thing on the end that said “can’t mask, don’t ask.” We just made our decision as a business that we’re not going to sit here and discuss medical issues or politics — that’s not what we are here for. We’re hot dog people — we’re not politicians or doctors, so we can serve you outside and take your order outside (if you choose to not wear a mask). Most people are very courteous and say that it works fine for them as a remedy, but there have been several who have said “no.” WHAT ARE YOU NOTICING WHEN IT COMES TO CERTAIN AGE GROUPS OF CUSTOMERS?

Paul McFall

Owner of Dog Central talks about adapting his business during pandemic Makayla Coffee ■ Staff Reporter

I am there all the time, and I have not had one single issue at night. After 9 p.m., every single college kid that walks through the door has a mask on, and if they don’t, then the security guy who is there has reminded them and they’re more than happy to put it on. We have had not one issue. I can’t speak for other bars downtown, but at Dog Central I have not had any issues with college kids saying anything about masks. WHAT’S IN YOUR FUTURE AS YOU NAVIGATE COVID-19? I can tell you that our last three weekends have been trending upwards (in business). I can just feel it — there are more people walking around downtown. In the first few weeks of the semester, there were a couple of Thursday nights where I drove downtown at 8 or 9 p.m. and you could have parked anywhere in the entire downtown. It was like a ghost town.

CMU reports 30 new COVID-19 cases, only 10 active By Andrew Mullin Associate Editor news@cm-life.com

After a spike in new COVID-19 cases last week, there were 30 new cases reported at Central Michigan University last week according to the university’s Fired Up For Fall webpage. There have been 328 total reported cases among CMU’s population since June 15. Numbers from the week of Oct. 12 dipped from the week prior when 54 new cases were announced. From Oct. 8-18, the university reported 66 new cases. The university is reporting only 10 currently “active” cases. “We do not send students home if they contract COVID-19,” said Heather Smith, executive director of University Communications. “If a student living on campus tests positive, they can self-isolate in a dedicated residence hall on campus or may choose to return home to self-isolate.” According to CMU’s Health and Saftey Protocols, students, faculty and staff who test positive for

COVID-19 must quarantine themselves for 10 days since symptoms first appeared. Smith said multiple agencies perform different tests on campus along with off-site testing. These agencies have different timeframes for reporting a positive test to local and state health officials, up to 72 hours or more. Once the Central Michigan District Health Department and state get these numbers, it can take an additional 72 hours or more to report back to CMU, Smith said. If someone with a positive result reports with an address outside of Isabella County, that could cause a further delay. “In situations where positive cases associated with CMU are initially reported to health districts outside Isabella County, it is not uncommon for CMU to receive official notice after the person has already completed their isolation or quarantine period,” Smith said. As of Oct. 19, there were 812 cases in Isabella County since the start of the pandemic, according to the county’s website. There have been 548 recoveries and 15 deaths.
