Ronan, Alsager win commission seats; marijuana proposal fails

By Andrew Mullin Senior Reporter news@cm-life.com

Mount Pleasant voters rejected a marijuana proposal and elected Central Michigan University Professor George Ronan and Mary Alsager to the city commission.

Polls were open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., for the Nov. 4 election. People voted for two new city commissioners, filling vacant seats in the commission left by the departures of commissioners Tony Kulick and Kathleen Ling.

According to electionreporting.com, turnout for the election was 20.3%, with 2,091 votes out of 10,301 registered voters.

The commission race results were: • Mary L. Alsager - 1218 votes • George Ronan - 942 • Barry DeLau II - 606 • Kathy Rise - 512 • Brandon McQueen - 467 Alsager said she is a former public school teacher and a parks and recreation commissioner. She said both she and Ronan campaigned together because they share similar ideologies, like having concerns with Downtown Mount Pleasant.

She is ready to learn and work with Ronan

MARY ALSAGER to adress these issues.

“We know that there are not easy answers,” Alsager said. “We know we’re going to have to work together to collaboratively come up with good ideas to help the citizens with what they need.”

Ronan has been a psychology professor

GEORGE RONAN at CMU for the past 30 years, he said in an email. At a candidate forum, he said one thing that he would like to do as commissioner is to start a collaborative council, brining together representatives from CMU, Mount Pleasant, the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe and Mid-Michigan

College to address ideas and concerns from all these entities.

The marijuana ballot initiative failed to pass, so the ordinance passed by the Mount Pleasant City Commission back in September will regulate recreational marijuana businesses. This means future recreational marijuana businesses will be following more restrictive regulations in Mount Pleasant.

The main regulations that recreational marijuana businesses will have to abide by are: • A limit of three recreational retailers, five class A growers and B & C growers.

• A 1,000 ft. buffer zone between K-12 schools and recreational marijuana businesses.

• Marijuana event licences will be for edibles only.

• No designated smoking areas (smoking lounges).

• Limit of two micro businesses.

• Limits all non-retail, recreational marijuana businesses to industrial zones.

Mount Pleasant City Manager Nancy Ridley said the ordinance can be changed by city commission anytime and that the city wanted to take things slow with recreational marijuana because it’s a new form of business for Mount Pleasant.

Student Food Pantry’s ‘Food for Fines’ returns Nov. 18

By Michael Livingston Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Central Michigan Life | File Photo Can goods line the walls of the Food Pantry on Nov. 19, 2018 near Robinson Hall.

Central Michigan University’s Student Food Pantry is coordinating its second-annual ‘Food for Fines’ donation drive, which allows students to pay off their parking tickets by donating non-perishable food items.

In a collaborative effort between CMU Police Department and the Student Food Pantry, “Food for Fines” takes place Nov. 18-22. Students can drop off non-perishable food items at the Parking Services office between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. in the Combined Services Building.

Citations dated Nov. 4-22 qualify for reimbursement. Only one citation up to $35 will be excused.

The Student Food Pantry opened in November 2018. Any student who is enrolled in classes is eligible to receive food from the pantry.

“The concept of being a broke college student is kind of normalized across the country, meaning

not having a lot of money or eating Ramen Noodles every night,” Dexter graduate assistant and Food Pantry organizer Kourtney Koch said. “We’re trying to break down the stigma and normalization of that.”

Donated food will be divided into categories to determine its financial equivalent. Items from a higher category will provide students with more money to pay off ticket fees.

The Student Food Pantry is always accepting food donations. Any student wanting to make a donation can deliver items to the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. $5 FOR ANY THREE OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: • Canned veggies, fruit, beans, meats (12 ounce cans or larger) • Boxed pasta or rice • Packages of pasta noodles • Canned soup • Boxed stuffing or mashed potatoes

LIFE IN BRIEF

$10 FOR ANY THREE OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: • Pancake mix • Boxed cereal (12 ounce box or larger) • Oatmeal • Syrup • Spaghetti Sauce • Bags of rice • Spices • Marshmallows • Tissue paper • Hot chocolate • Non-perishable milk and juices. $10 FOR ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: • Ground coffee (20 ounces or larger) • 12-pack toilet paper • 12-pack paper towels • Feminine hygiene products Last year’s ‘Food for Fines’ resulted in more than $2,000 in forgiven fees and more than 900 food items collected.

PRESIDENT DAVIES TO GIVE ‘STATE OF THE UNIVERSITY’ ADDRESS NOV. 7 All students, faculty and staff are invited to President Bob Davies’ first “State of the University” address at 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 7 in Plachta Auditorium.

Davies will discuss successes and highlights from the past year, including a proposed course of action to overcome challenges in higher education. He also will expand on his proposed “Rigor, Relevance and Excellence” plan, which was first presented to the Board of Trustees in September.

The plan is a “strategic envisioning process” that outlines transforming the university by 2030, with a focus on engaging students, faculty, staff and university stakeholders. During the address, Davies will further introduce and elaborate on the plan’s five strategic pathways to create

institutional change.

“We hope that attendees will leave feeling a sense of pride in CMU, optimism for our future and an understanding of the role they can play on the path we take to move forward,” said Ceremonies and Events Coordinator Kyle Pybus-Jerome.

The last of State of the University address was delivered by former president George Ross in 2017, and the speech transcripts and video archives from the past four addresses can be found on the CMU website.

Following the address, a reception will take place in the Bovee University Center Rotunda. Attendees are welcome to mingle and enjoy refreshments.

Students protest circus

By Teresa Homsi and Courtney Pedersen Staff Reporters news@cm-life.com

Isaac Ritchey | Photo Editor A Jordan World Circus employee unloads an elephant from the back of a semi-trailer Nov. 5 outside Finch Fieldhouse.

As families and attendees filed into Finch Fieldhouse to experience the Jordan World Circus, a group of eight students stood in protest of the circus’ use of wild animals for entertainment.

The traveling circus made a return visit to Central Michigan University, with two shows at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Nov. 5. The students assembled to protest the university hosting or advertising events that use wild animals, specifically elephants, tigers and horses.

“We are hoping to spread some information and raise awareness to the other students that may be against it, so we can come together to make sure this doesn’t get brought to our campus again,” said Muskegon senior Natalie Bowen, representing the Student Advocates for Vegetarianism and Veganism. “A lot of students our age are more aware of the cruelty that goes on with the circus, but I’m sure a lot of adults and small children aren’t really thinking about it; they just think it’s a cool place to take their kid.”

According to University Communications Assistant Director Ari Harris, the Jordan World Circus has performed at CMU for many years.

“CMU will honor its contract with Jordan World Circus, but university administration will not extend the engagement with the company beyond this current show,” Harris said. “We respect and understand the concern expressed by some in our community.”

The protesting group said that Jordan World Circus rents their animals from companies that have past animal cruelty allegations against them.

“These animals aren’t dreaming of doing this their entire lives, they are forced into this and have no choice,” Bowen said.

Group members clarified that they were not attacking attendees, but addressing the university and event coordinators for giving a platform for animal exploitation.

“Animals want to live in their natural habitats… JUST LIKE US,” the group chanted. “Animals want to be with their families… JUST LIKE US.” Westland senior Mackenna Wietecha gathered signatures for a PETA petition, which was targeting CMU, DeltaPlex Arena and Conference Center and Kellogg Arena for hosting the Jordan World Circus.

“I don’t want to accuse or come at people, but I want to get it out that there are some students who invest in this school,” said Grosse Pointe junior Josie Riley, “and this doesn’t really represent what I believe is right.”

City to roll out sidewalk snow removal services this winter

By Andrew Mullin Senior Reporter news@cm-life.com

With winter fast approaching, Mount Pleasant is expanding services around town for sidewalk snow removal.

City Manager Nancy Ridley said the city decided in May to expand plowing from 13 miles to 25 miles. Many of these new additions to the route will be on streets near North Campus at Central Michigan University.

The routes were meant as expansions for the city’s public school and park locations and are covered by tax dollars that property owners are already paying, Ridley said. Mount Pleasant Street Superintendent Matt Weaver said because Fancher Elementary School is relatively close to campus, the route entered residential areas that houses college students and might benefit people living north of CMU’s campus.

The routes themselves were drawn by Weaver and the city’s engineering department. He said the city has additional equipment, which allows it to take on more sidewalks in the route. A full map of the route can be found on the city’s website.

Ridley said while the city will remove snow from sidewalks, it will not be salt-

ing the sidewalks for. Weaver said salt is corrosive, and could be damaging to sidewalks and residents’ lawns. It is up to residents to decide whether they salt the sidewalks in front of their homes or not.

“A homeowner that takes care of their own sidewalk makes that choice,” Weaver said. “From our standpoint, we’re not going to introduce (salt) on the sidewalks.”

Some streets that have sidewalks on either side will only have one of the sides marked for snow removal on the route, Ridley said. She also said streets, alleys and parking lots will be plowed before sidewalks. If sidewalks are plowed first, and then streets, snow will pile up on the edges of crosswalks, Weaver said.

Ridley said this expansion is something the city has been planning for a couple of years. The city will evaluate the effectiveness of these 25 miles after three years and decide if it wants to expand the service every year to eventually plow all 46 miles of Mount Pleasant sidewalks.

For the sidewalks that are still not part of the snow removal route, Ridley highly advises homeowners to clear the sidewalks themselves however, this will not be enforced by the city.

Sidewalks adjacent to commercial and industrial properties are still required to be cleared by the businesses on these properties.

At the beginning of each episode of “Same Same Different,” podcast host Bryce Huffman gives his guests ten seconds to list everything they identify as. In Huffman’s case, he describes himself as, “a black, cis-gendered male from Detroit — a journalist, a poet, a comedian and unfortunately, a die-hard Lions fan.”

Huffman spent Oct. 30 connecting with student journalists, reuniting with his old professors and speaking to students about the topic of ‘otherness.’

In 2016, Huffman graduated from Central Michigan University with a journalism degree. He now works for the West Michigan branch of Michigan Radio, where he started as a reporting intern after graduating.

His podcast, “Same Same Different,” launched earlier this

SAME SAME DIFFERENT LOGO month with “surprisingly” positive audience feedback, Huffman said. The podcast tackles all things race, identity and otherness and how individuals overcome it in everyday life.

“When I first pitched the podcast idea I knew I wanted to get out of doing daily news for a bit and I wanted more people of color to listen to our air,” Huffman said.

The podcast went through vigorous structural changes by Michigan Radio’s marketing department and Huffman’s producers. The working title, prospected guests and whole ideas for episodes were scrapped and reworked.

Huffman said the podcast is like a “howto-guide” to being the “other” in the room and looking past people’s differences.

Each episode is a step in the guide such as:

Finding your people, reading the room or writing your own narrative.

His guests are recognized experts on a certain topic and live all over the world.

Huffman’s guests are never in the studio with him, instead, he records conversations by connecting his studio with a local studio wherever his guests may be, producing crystal-clear audio.

“We had to make it seem like we were occupying the same space, which I think we achieved,” Huffman said. “A lot of people didn’t know we weren’t in the same room.”

Each episode starts with a live recording of Huffman’s “story slam” performances.

In addition to being a journalist, Huffman is also a poet and stand-up comedian.

Huffman is unsure of the future of the podcast. He said if there is to be a season two, he and his team would most likely revisit original ideas for the show.

“Three to five years from now I doubt I’ll be doing the podcast. I don’t think it has the legs to have that many seasons,” Huffman said. “ I do think it’s an idea that could be revisited.”

“Same Same Different” can be found on all streaming platforms or downloaded from Michigan Radio’s website. New episodes are uploaded Monday.

n August, Adam Epstein was preparing for his new roles as department chair and faculty athletics representative at Central Michigan University, when he received a surprising piece of news.

He found out that he would also serve as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Legal Studies Education for August 2019 to August 2020.

The news came as a shock to Epstein for two reasons: It was his first year chair of the department of finance and law, and as a faculty athletics representative, and he was not expecting to serve as editor-in-chief until 2020.

“It all happened really fast,” Epstein said. “Unfortunately, one of our senior articles editors is no longer involved with the journal so it bumped me up a year in advance as editor.”

According to Epstein, the journal focuses on teaching, adding value to courses for students and teaching theory of legal studies.

In 1993, he graduated from law school and began working as a sports agent, primarily for athletes in swimming and triathlon. He began teaching at a community college on the side and then chose to continue his teaching career at CMU in 2003.

Soon after starting at CMU, Epstein became involved with the Journal of Legal Studies Education.

Central Michigan Life sat down with Epstein to discuss his involvement and new role with the journal.

Q&A

How did you become editor-in-chief?

Our staff works on a rotation, you work your way up and naturally become an articles editor, then even editor-in-chief. Our rotation got messed up when one of the senior editors was no longer a part of the journal. I would have actually been doing this next year rather than this year.

What is your role as editor-in-chief?

What I do is manage the whole process. I deal with our publisher, Wiley Corporation, to put out the journal twice a year, in February and August. My responsibility is not only to the people who put it together but also to the publisher.

How does it feel being from CMU and

NOV. 7, 2019

| 13

being the editor-in-chief?

We have people involved from very big schools and having someone for CMU as the editor-in-chief I think is good for the college, the university, for our department. It puts CMU on the map in terms of being involved at a national level with business law professors who teach in colleges of business throughout the United States and Canada. I think it’s a big deal.

How does it work putting the journal together?

What articles have you written?

I have written articles for the journal before. In fact, I have been published in this journal three times. One of my all time favorite articles that I have ever written, “Teaching Torts with Sports,” was published in the Journal of Legal Studies Education in 2011. One of the reasons I like it is because it focuses on how to teach tort law using sports examples. I have had many people around the country say that they have read my article and used the videos I recommended.

What are your goals for the journal?

I’ve been involved with this journal as a reviewer since 2004, so I suppose this is 15 years now. It started when I came to CMU and joined our national law organization, called the Academy of Legal Studies in Business. The Journal of Legal Studies Education is one of two journals that the academy sponsors.

I started as a reviewer, worked my way up to staff editor and then I became an articles editor. Now I am the editor-in-chief. In 2004, I started down at the bottom and worked my way up.

|

This is my first go around, but basically it is really simple.

We are a peer-reviewed journal, a blind peer-reviewed journal, in other words we redact the names of submitters. The articles are submitted to the managing editor and once she farms them out to other editors and reviewers no one knows in order to eliminate bias.

How long have you been involved with the Journal of Legal Studies Education?

What are all the roles you have had with the publication?

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM

Adam Epstein Legal studies faculty member discusses his work with law journals, how he worked his way up from the bottom and his responsibilities as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Legal Studies Education.

Courtney Pedersen ■ Staff Reporter

The managing editor is also new, brand new to the journal, so we are both new working together. That being said, the short term goal is to clean up a few odds and ends.

Goal number one was to add another articles editor and we did, so we expanded from four to five. Another goal is to get more reviewers involved nationally. Just last week we sent out an email asking if anyone was interested in being a reviewer and we have already had four responses of people who want to from all over the country. I want to publish high quality blind peer-reviewed articles relating to teaching and pedagogy, but I would also like to add more “perspectives on the discipline,” which are not what you’d call peer reviewed but more like opinion pieces because I’d like to have more article variety.

Why should people read the journal?

If you are someone who teaches business law and are truly interested in teaching or are truly interested in sharing how you teach with others, that’s why you should read the journal. It’s all about pedagogy; the focus is on how can you be a better teacher in the classroom or online. These are high quality academic articles that have a practical component to them.

How can potential readers access the Journal of Legal Studies Education?

You can read it online. Just search “Journal of Legal Studies Education” and click on the Wiley online library.

Apparently, CMU libraries actually has a subscription to the journal. It can also be purchased by a subscription for online or hard copies.

DAVIS SEEKS MAC TITLE Keno Davis outlines new expectations for eighth season at helm

By Evan Petzold Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

KENO DAVIS

Trailing 79-78 to top-seed Buffalo in the semifinals of the Mid-American Conference Tournament, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team had all the momentum.

Buffalo coach Nate Oats, now the head man at Alabama, was forced to call a 30-second timeout with 46 seconds remaining.

Senior guard CJ Massinburg answered his calling 15 seconds out of the timeout by making a layup and putting the Chippewas down by three points.

Central Michigan, ranked No. 5 in the conference tournament, wasn’t able to take the lead in the final seconds, and the Bulls – ranked No. 16 in the nation – escaped with an 85-81 victory at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.

That was then.

This is now.

Led by eighth-year coach Keno Davis, a majority of the 2019-20 Chippewas have tasted a chance at the MAC title.

And once Central Michigan was able to taste it, the team was left wanting more.

“We’ve come a long way,” Davis said.

In that 2018-19 season, Davis’ group was 23-12 overall and 10-8 in MAC play.

This year, Davis expects more.

“We are at a point, when you look at the last five years, to have 100 wins and winning 20 games year in and year out – that’s something to be proud of,” Davis said. “But that’s not the end game for us.

“It’s about reaching that step and saying, ‘Now, what can we become?’

The Chippewas are without Larry Austin Jr. and Shawn Roundtree Jr., two former starting guards that are

now playing professionally.

Austin and Roundtree led the team in scoring at 17.5 and 16.6 points per game, respectively.

Speaking of scoring, however, Central Michigan returns its next six top scorers in senior forward David DiLeo, senior guard Kevin McKay, senior forward Rob Montgomery, senior guard Dallas Morgan, junior guard Matt Beachler, junior forward Romelo Burrell.

This season serves as an opportunity for DiLeo and McKay to take on a leadership role, much like Austin and Roundtree from last year.

“This year, with them gone, it falls on the people that have been here the longest,” McKay said. “Dave and I have been here. This is our fourth year, and we’re both starting this year.

“Because of that, it’s a priority and responsibility we have to be the ones everyone looks to.”

DiLeo added that there’s also the element of helping others transition into new roles. Once DiLeo and McKay graduate and move on from the program, there’s going to be an opening for new leaders.

Each year, there’s the opportunity for the current leaders to prepare the next set of leaders.

“We know the ropes and what coaches expect out of defensive and offensive sets,” DiLeo said. “We’re helping the returners step up into bigger roles.”

There are also new faces that are expected to make an impact.

Davis is rolling out a starting lineup that features DiLeo, McKay and Montgomery along with two junior transfer guards – Travon Broadway Jr. (Iowa Western Community College) and Devontae Lane (Indian Hills Community College).

Lane is a player that everyone wants to be on the court with, Davis said. He finds open teammates but also can get to the basket and score

with authority.

“He fills a lot of different roles for us as a point guard,” Davis said. “He could be really good for our team this year.”

Davis said Broadway is a player that will likely be nationally ranked in steals this season.

“He’s a dynamic scorer,” Davis added. “He can run the court, slash, get to the basket and the free throw line. He’s got a great ability to be able to read passing lanes.”

In the last two seasons, Davis has put together overall records of 21-15 and 23-12, respectively, along with a 7-11 conference mark in 2017-18 that improved to 10-8 the following campaign.

His 2018-19 team finished the regular season second in the MAC West Division.

Davis said it’s more than just the state of Michigan that’s taken notice in the Chippewas due to the recent success. He said the entire country understands what the program is about.

“We’ve got a style of basketball that’s attractive for recruits to come and play,” Davis said. “I think you’re going to see us continue to become better year in and year out.”

Davis was quick to explain himself, stating that “becoming better” doesn’t always translate to more wins.

However, it means having a program that’s able to compete for a conference championship.

“It shouldn’t be about having a rebuilding year,” Davis said.

There are four months of basketball before the Chippewas have the chance to play in the MAC Tournament at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.

And Davis hopes for a different result this time around.

“We aren’t talking about getting to Cleveland,” Davis said. “We are talking about cutting the nets down.”

SAME EXPECTATIONS Heather Oesterle prepares for challenges in her debut season

By Austin Chastain Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Maddy Watters remembers a mistake in practice during the offseason.

The junior guard and the rest of the Central Michigan women’s basketball team were told to run as a form of punishment for the error.

Instead, the team did abdominal planks.

Watters said the Chippewas’ new coach, Heather Oesterle, often does planks to take care of her core and back muscles.

Needless to say, they have her back.

When Oesterle took over the Central Michigan program in July, she wanted her team to have fun and continue the winning standard that former coach Sue Guevara set during her time at the helm of the Chippewas.

“She’s put an emphasis on having fun but still being able to compete,” Watters said. “It’s been a very good atmosphere and she’s been very caring.”

Part of Oesterle’s philosophy is wanting her players to be confident in their offensive abilities. She doesn’t want the team to be afraid of making mistakes.

In fact, she encourages making mistakes if the players are trying new things in a game.

“That’s what I tell all of them,” Oesterle said. “I’m not going to take them out if they miss a couple of shots but I will take them out if they pass up open shots. That’s no secret.”

While serving as an assistant under Guevara, Oesterle was the offensive coordinator for the Chippewas. She also scored 482 points in her career at Michigan, playing for Guevara.

The offensive end of the floor is arguably Oesterle’s area of expertise and has taken aspects of Guevara’s system, but she is making it her own.

“Some of our offense is similar to what we’re trying to do because we’ve recruited players to fit this system,” Oesterle said.

“I’m the type that wants all five players on the floor confident to score the basketball.”

Junior guards Micaela Kelly and Maddy Watters have emerged as leaders heading into the 2019-20 season.

Kelly has stepped into a larger leadership role following the departures of Reyna Frost and Presley Hudson. Amid a lot of change in the program, Kelly said that she thrives by leading by example on the floor, almost as an extension of Oesterle.

“Sometimes, her being vocal isn’t enough, and she wants us to step up, and I like that she gives us a chance,” Kelly said. “(Oesterle) wants the players to coach the team because obviously, she’s not the one playing. She trusts in us to have faith and I’ve got to have her back as well and give her my all.”

‘SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE’S DOING’ Before CMU’s first preseason scrimmage, Oesterle sent her former coach and mentor Guevara a text admitting that she was nervous entering her first action as the Chippewas’ leader.

“I responded with, ‘I’m glad you are, you’re supposed to be,’” Guevara said.

“This is a scrimmage and this is what you get to do, trust your gut, you know what you’re doing. It makes me proud.”

Kelly and Watters have both embraced the change from Guevara to Oesterle but understand that it is a completely new program with a new system and a new coach.

“It’s her team,” Kelly said. “It’s her time to show that she can coach, that she can lead, the different aspects that she learned from (Guevara) and she can take that and put that into her game but show what she’s capable of.”

An advantage of Oesterle being on staff for nine seasons before taking the lead role is the fact that she already knows the players and their strengths.

When talking about playing in the post, she alluded to the strengths of forwards Jahari Smith and Kyra Bussell. She said the sophomore Smith and junior Bussell are similar but still possess key differences that will allow for well-rounded post play.

“We’re playing with our post players more face the basket rather than back to

the basket because that’s their strength,” Oesterle said. “Jahari’s not great at backing down someone and finishing, so I told her she has two dribbles and she’s got to kick it out. She’s better at slipping an on-ball screen and catching and finishing or getting the ball on the short corner and ripping and attacking.

“That kid has come a long way, I’ve been very impressed with how far she’s come from her freshman to sophomore year.”

Oesterle said that Bussell, who came in off the bench extensively last season, is similar to Smith when facing the basket.

“She’s more of a pick and pop,” Oesterle said. “Every time she touches the ball, I compare her to Elena Delle Donne because she’s capable of doing different things for us. We’re going to run her with some onball screens because how are people going to defend that if she can shoot the 3 like she can.”

‘EXPECTATIONS DON’T CHANGE’ During Guevara’s 12 years at the helm in Mount Pleasant, the Chippewas won 231 games, four-straight Mid-American Conference West Division championships, three straight MAC regular-season championships and two MAC Tournament titles.

Oesterle will lead CMU through a tough nonconference schedule with its opener against Green Bay and a Nov. 14 game on the road against Louisville. The Cardinals defeated the Chippewas last season, 72-68, on Dec. 20 in McGuirk Arena. CMU also travels to South Dakota State, which is one of the top mid-major programs in the country. The Jackrabbits took an 80-71 win over the Chippewas last season in Mount Pleasant.

The 2019-20 season isn’t going to be a cake walk, but that’s something Oesterle embraces.

“We want to cut down the nets, we want another ring ceremony,” Oesterle said. “We have the pieces to compete on the national stage again.

“The expectations don’t change for this group.”

Senior forward preps for last year after injury

By Austin Chastain Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

It was March 2, 2019.

The Central Michigan men’s basketball team was gearing up to play Toledo in a Mid-American Conference showdown at McGuirk Arena.

Rob Montgomery suffered an injury to his groin in warmups about 12 minutes before tipoff against the Rockets. The then-junior forward was forced to sit out the game that had significant Mid-American Tournament and regular season implications.

CMU went on to lose the game, 80-68.

Montgomery missed the three games – the loss to Toledo, another home loss to Northern Illinois and a CMU win in the season finale at Western Michigan.

At that point in the season, CMU was looking for the MAC West Division title and a win over Toledo would have bolstered its case. Instead, back-to-back home losses hurt the Chippewas’ tournament seeding.

The two losses slid the Chippewas out of a first-round bye in the Mid-American Conference Tournament. Instead, they faced the Broncos in the first round and had to earn their way to play in Cleveland.

Montgomery played sparingly in that matchup against Western Michigan. He said that suffering the injury was difficult yet eye-opening.

“It can go just like that,” Montgomery said of his injury. “I do my regular, everyday movements and then I get an injury. It made me value the game so much more because at any given time you can just be done playing. Fortunately, I had a small injury and not a big one.”

The Montgomery Village, Maryland native played in 32 games last season, making 31 starts.

He averaged 10.8 points per game and had 182 total rebounds on the season. He also shot 44% from the field, 30% from 3-point range and 59% from the free throw line.

Going into his senior year, Montgomery is excited for the opportunity to return to the lineup and has plenty of goals for the team, but it starts with the basics.

“Collectively, as a team, just keep improving every day,” Montgomery said. “I thought we did that in the summer. At the beginning of the school year, we took the right step following our progress in the summer. Just keep building every day, we have all the talent in the world.

“We can make a deep run and I think we have a great chance of winning the MAC. We just have to worry about ourselves.”

Montgomery’s absence down the stretch last season disrupted the team because it lost the only true inside presence.

At points last season, Montgomery was outsized by opponents. He stands at 6-foot-7.

Where he might not have the height advantage, he makes up for in other ways.

“I feel like my sight has gotten better,” Montgomery said. “My hands have gotten better, and physically, I feel like I’m in better shape than I

was last year. I feel a lot more explosive on my feet.”

Keno Davis comes into his eighth year at the helm and holds 121 wins during his time in Mount Pleasant. Davis alluded to the fact that Montgomery was out of the last three games of the regular season and saw limited action in the MAC Tournament win over Western Michigan before ultimately making a run to the semifinal round in Cleveland.

“When you go into your senior year, there’s always a little difference knowing that it’s your last time and an opportunity to make a mark,” Davis said.

Montgomery established himself as a leader last season by starting all but one game he appeared in — the MAC Tournament first-round game against Western Michigan.

Heading into the 2019-20 season, Montgomery will be considered one of the leaders again with the departures of guards Larry Austin Jr. and Shawn Roundtree Jr., who are both playing professionally in Europe.

Montgomery is one of a core group of three guys that started last season and is returning to the starting lineup this year. The others are seniors David DiLeo and Kevin McKay. For all of them, the goal is the same – cut down the nets in Cleveland.

McKay and Montgomery have both been working on their leadership styles to take charge of the program.

“We’re working on becoming more vocal,” McKay said. “Everyone can see how much he’s worked on his game over the summer. He’s been shooting the three better, even getting to the rim and having a mid-range shot.

“He’s leading by example that way.”

One of the newcomers that Montgomery has shed light upon is freshman center Caleb Hodgson.

Hodgson, a 6-foot-10 center from Dansville, comes in following a strong career at Dansville High School. He averaged 23 points, 16.1 rebounds and 5.3 blocks per game during his senior year.

While the freshman does not know exactly where he will fit into the rotation, he said that he has already learned a lot from Montgomery.

“He’s a really good teammate,” Hodgson said.

“Just seeing him in practice, watching him but also learning from what he tells me. What do I do on this play, or this play, from his experience, I’ve learned from watching him but also from what he’s told me.”

Central Michigan travels to DePaul, who CMU played in the College Basketball Invitational last season on Nov. 23, and plays road games against Texas (Dec. 14) and Purdue (Dec. 28).

Montgomery said that playing some of those big-time teams is something he’s excited about this season.

“I’m looking forward to that,” Montgomery said. “It’ll give us a good test and show us where we are. I’m just ready to get back playing.

“I’m excited for the whole season, there’s nothing I’m not looking forward to.”

TAKING A LEADERSHIP ROLE Micaela Kelly, after the departure of her favorite coach leaves, steps into new role as junior

By Austin Chastain Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Central Michigan's women's basketball team ended practice in McGuirk Arena.

The team was gathered by the bench area as the players began to disperse for the day of classes.

Then an exclamation comes from the exit near the south end of the arena.

"Everyone have a great day!"

Micaela Kelly was the voice behind the message.

Kelly, a junior guard from Detroit, has stepped into a new leadership role coming into the 2019-20 season after a sophomore campaign that saw her start all 33 games CMU played last season.

She averaged 14.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game last season. Kelly added 51 steals and shot 49% from the field, 41% from 3-point range and had an 81% mark from the free throw line.

In her first two years at Central Michigan, Kelly saw the likes of Tinara Moore, Presley Hudson and Reyna Frost lead the program to great heights — including two NCAA Tournament appearances, with a Sweet 16 showing in 2018.

During her first two years, Kelly was able to learn from those before her and apply those lessons to her own game.

Now, Kelly knows that it's her turn to take over the leadership role for the Chippewas.

After all — they named her captain.

"Obviously it's me coming out of my old role and now I'm playing a bigger role," Kelly said. "I have to lead this team, take over and do what we've got to do to get us where we need to be."

As the 2019-20 season tips off, Central Michigan has a new coach with Heather Oesterle roaming the sidelines. Oesterle had been on the staff under Sue Guevara for the previous nine seasons.

Oesterle said that the team has the same expectations that it did in years past, just with a different system. The coach expects Kelly to lead the charge to cutting the nets down at the Mid-American Conference Tournament in Cleveland, Ohio.

Oesterle's expectation comes from the fact that the relationship she and Kelly have runs deep. Oesterle said that she appreciates Kelly because the junior celebrates her teammates.

"I feed off of her energy," Oesterle said.

"I know the team does, too. She's vocal, probably our most vocal leader."

Once a Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year in 2018, Kelly has been a strong force in the Chippewas' game plan.

Kelly knows that this season, she is the catalyst of the teams' communication on the floor, therefore the catalyst of the teams' success.

"I don't feel any pressure," Kelly said.

"It's a whole new system, new coach, so it's time to show that we actually worked hard and that we've earned everything we get and we're going to continue to grow and do what we have to do."

Heading into her junior year, Kelly has put together an impressive body of work on the floor and has shown that she can be a leader off of it, too.

Oesterle said that a player like Kelly, who goes by the nickname Twin, is a valuable person to have on the roster.

"It's a really good thing to have your best player work the hardest," Oesterle said.

"She brings it every day, the energy and she gives it to everyone around her, which is good. She never disappears in practice and she's a constant leader and I appreciate that because she gives me energy."

Kelly turned and looked at Oesterle with a smile and replied, "Appreciate it, coach."

As for the upcoming season, the transition that the team has made with Oesterle as the head coach has been smooth.

Kelly, as one of the team's leaders, said that Oesterle has been stressing the little things to make a basketball team great.

Kelly has been the conduit from Oesterle to the rest of the team.

"Our team has stepped up in ways you couldn't imagine because everyone feels as though they have a new opportunity," Kelly said. "Everybody can show up and play and show that we can all be good together.

(Oesterle) can find different ways to use different combinations."

Following the team's Maroon and Gold Scrimmage on Oct. 27 in McGuirk Arena, Guevara said that she was impressed with how the team played and how Oesterle led the team.

The former three-time Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year did not say much about Kelly, but what she did say was powerful.

"Watching them play," Guevara said, "we all know what Twin Kelly can do."

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

MEN’S BASKETBALL FACES TOUGH NONCONFERENCE SCHEDULE THIS SEASON Keno Davis’ eighth season at Central Michigan will feature one of the toughest nonconference schedules he has faced during his time in Mount Pleasant.

After three home games to open the season against Mississippi Valley State (Nov. 10), Sam Houston State (Nov. 16) and Siena Heights (Nov. 18), the Chippewas hit the road to face Minnesota (Nov. 21).

Another highlight in the first month of Central Michigan’s schedule is a trip to DePaul (Nov. 26) before a grueling December.

The Chippewas play four-straight games on the road, all against teams that make the NCAA Tournament regularly.

CMU visits Valparaiso (Dec. 8) then heads to Texas to face the Longhorns (Dec. 14), Robert Morris (Dec. 17) before capping the nonconference slate with a trip to nationally-ranked Purdue (Dec. 28).

When the Chippewas open MidAmerican Conference play, they will do so at home against Miami (Ohio) (Jan. 4) and Northern Illinois (Jan. 7).

After two road games, including a Jan. 14 matchup at Toledo, CMU hosts Buffalo (Jan. 18) and Ball State (Jan. 25). CMU’s next road trip includes rival Western Michigan (Feb. 1) in Read Fieldhouse.

The Chippewas then have home games against Bowling Green (Feb. 4) and Eastern Michigan (Feb. 11) sandwiching a Feb. 8 road game against Buffalo.

As the season begins to come to a close, CMU has a home game against Akron (Feb. 15), two road games at Ohio (Feb. 18) and NIU (Feb. 22) before returning home to face Toledo (Feb. 25).

Central Michigan then rounds out the season with road games against Eastern Michigan (Feb. 29) and Ball State (March 3), before rounding out the season March 6 at home against Western Michigan.

The Mid-American Conference Tournament begins March 9, 2020, oncampus sites before moving to Cleveland, Ohio March 12-14.

-Austin Chastain, Assistant Sports Editor

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PREPARES FOR OESTERLE’S DEBUT SEASON It’s Heather Oesterle time in Mount Pleasant.

After nine seasons as the associate head coach to Sue Guevara, the Michigan graduate will take the reigns of the Chippewa program.

She’ll be tested right off the bat.

Central Michigan opens with Green Bay, who placed second in the Horizon League a year ago, on Nov 6. After that, the nonconference slate only gets tougher against Louisville (Nov. 14) and Western Kentucky (Nov. 17). Nonconference home contests for Central Michigan include Dayton (Nov. 21), Northeastern (Nov. 27), Marist (Nov. 30) and Iona (Dec. 5).

The Chippewas also travel to South Dakota State (Dec. 14), Oakland (Nov.18), BethuneCookman (Dec. 28) and UCF (Dec. 30) in the nonconference portion, giving this team a chance to prove their will early on. They’ll look to avenge losses to Louisville, Western Kentucky and South Dakota State from a season ago.

In the conference, the Chippewas will look

to maintain the standard of excellence that has been set in years prior. Picked to win their fourth consecutive MAC West title, the Chippewas return all but two starters.

The conference slate opens with consecutive road games, first at Akron (Jan. 4), then at Ohio (Jan. 8). Back to back home tilts with Miami (Ohio) (Jan. 11) and Ball State (Jan. 15) are then followed by road games within the MAC West with in-state rivals. CMU travels to Western Michigan (Jan. 18) followed by a date with Eastern Michigan (Jan. 22).

Central Michigan takes on reigning MAC tournament champion Buffalo on the road (Jan. 29) after hosting Toledo (Jan. 22), and then will have back to back home games to start February, first against Ohio (Feb. 1) and then against Northern Illinois (Feb. 5).

The Mid-American Conference tournament begins Monday, March 9 and runs through Saturday, March 14.

We think it’s time to remove the stigma around marijuana Mount Pleasant voters failed to approve a Nov. 5 city ballot proposal that would have allowed for an unlimited amount of marijuana growers and five retailers to do business in the city limits. That proposal allowed for two more retailers than the city ordinance allowed for.

The proposal was just slightly more aggressive than the city ordinance.

City commissioner Kathy Ling was one of the people who disagreed with the ballot proposal. In a letter to the editor published in CM Life, Ling explained that she opposed the proposal was because there was not a 1,000-foot buffer around K-12 schools, marijuana establishments would not have had to seek permits for special use and the ordinance has the ability to be easily amended.

When Michigan voters decided to legalize pot in 2018, the decision was met by most political leaders with fear, loathing and the creation of even more useless government bureaucracy. City commissioners are taking a cautious approach as they try to set the groundwork for establishing the Mount Pleasant marijuana industry. It appears voters are also more comfortable taking the slower, more safe route.

We believe the ballot proposal’s defeat was the wrong decision.

It’s time we stop the stigma that surrounds marijuana culture.

There is marijuana everywhere in this city. It’s all over town. And we are willing to bet that some of that marijuana is already less than 1,000 feet away from schools. It’s even possible that students already bring weed to school. No recreational marijuana retailers are going to be willingly inviting underage users into their shops. Meanwhile, students can walk past gas stations that sell vapes, cigarettes, beer and liquor on their way home from class.

Pot is not a gateway drug. What recreational marijuana legalization does have the potential to do is boost struggling local economies, become safer to use by ending black market sales and to stop disproportionately imprisoning people of color due to harsh drug sentences.

EDITORIAL Compared to alcohol or other Schedule 1 drugs, marijuana is relatively harmless. Schedule 1 drugs are classified as dangerous because of the high abuse potential, no medical use and safety concerns. That sounds more like cocaine and heroin, or alcohol, than marijuana, don’t you think?

People are now starting to realize that the good – medical use, recreation and tourism, business development – outweighs the potential problems such as a barely measurable increase in impaired driving arrests. States such as Colorado and California are thriving in this new era of legal pot.

Why shouldn’t Michigan try to reap the same benefits? What are you afraid of?

In the coming years we know that the federal government will soon follow suit and legalize marijuana. Washington D.C. and 11 states have legalized marijuana for recreational use. Even more states have approved marijuana for medical use and those are all on the track to legalizing it completely.

Federal lawmakers and city commissioners have no issue with adults drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes – two of the three leading preventable causes of death in the United States. For some reason, people still think that marijuana is a threat to public safety, despite no recorded deaths from marijuana.

It’s time to get beyond the stigma that surrounds smoking pot.

People should not be shamed for smoking marijuana, they should be accommodated.

It’s time for Mount Pleasant to invite people to meet here and light up.

ANALYSIS

Andrew Mullin | Senior Reporter Merchandise from Phi Kappa Tau sits in the Central Michigan University Bookstore on Sept. 6, 2019. The fraternity was suspended in January of 2018.

Bookstore pulls merchandise from banned Greek organizations Up until September, merchandise from fraternities and sororities banned from Central Michigan University could be purchased from the campus bookstore. That changed on Sept.

10.

First, a little context: During the Spring 2019 semester, I wrote an article about the challenges that universities face when banned fraternities and sororities continue to operate after being kicked off campus. While researching for that article, I came across a lavalier from Alpha Chi Rho being sold on the bookstore’s website.

Alpha Chi Rho is a national fraternity that had a chapter at CMU until 2011 following hazing incidents, according to an article from Central Michigan Life. Though it was no longer affiliated with CMU, this chapter received nationwide attention in 2017 for a hazing incident. Fraternity members spread peanut butter across the face of Andrew Seely, who had a deadly allergy to peanuts.

An Alpha Chi Rho product was still for sale on the CMU Bookstore’s official website well after the peanut butter incident occurred. I was surprised at first, then quickly grew more curious. After searching the bookstore’s website, and taking a visit to the bookstore itself, I was stunned to see products such as lavaliers, flags, license plate frames and decals from these banned Greek organizations: • Phi Sigma Phi • Alpha Chi Rho • Sigma Phi Epsilon • Sigma Lambda Gamma • Phi Kappa Tau • Pi Kappa Phi • Delta Chi • Kappa Alpha Psi I was stunned that all of this was being sold

Andrew Mullin Senior Reporter

in the university’s official bookstore. According to their website, “The CMU Bookstore is owned and operated by Central Michigan University.

Every penny spent in our store stays here on campus.” So, I asked Deborah Stack, apparel & merchandise buyer for the bookstore, some questions.

The bookstore absorbed an embroidery business from the SBX six years ago. The bookstore had a lot of left-over products to sell off, she said in an email, including the merchandise from banned Greek organizations. She also explained the bookstore sells to other people from other universities.

This didn’t sit well with me. When I read this, my thought was, “Surely, they can give away the merchandise to some other university that actually wants to associate themselves with these fraternities and sororities. They can’t be missing out on that much money if they do so.”

Stack said the bookstore would be discounting the merchandise and start focusing on custom clothing and paddles. Toward the end of the Spring semester, I saw less and less Greek merchandise in the bookstore.

At the start of this semester, when I went to get my textbooks, I noticed the display of Greek mer-

chandise on the back wall. All the merchandise from banned Greek organizations was still there.

Nothing had changed.

I reached out to the director of the bookstore, Barry Waters, to see why these items were still being sold. The next day, I received an email from Executive Director of Auxiliary Services Calvin Seelye telling me that he spoke with Waters, along with other faculty members, about the merchandise. He also answered the questions I sent to Waters.

Seelye said the selling of these products were being sold as inventory reduction and that most of the Greek merch sold to people from outside of CMU were for “paddle parties.”

In the email, Seelye said the bookstore will no longer be selling any merchandise from fraternities and sororities banned from CMU moving forward.

I went to check for myself. It appears all the merchandise was removed from the bookstore.

When I brought this topic up to academic senate representative, Michael Mamp, he said he was not aware of the situation. However, he was glad to hear that the merchandise was removed and said the university should not be selling these products.

“The Central Michigan University Bookstore should be consistently monitoring the sale of their products to ensure they are not representing organizations that are no longer affiliated with CMU,” Mamp said. “While I’m glad to [hear] that the product(s) have been removed at this point, I do believe that they should more closely monitor that in the future.”

And one final thought: The fact that the merchandise was pulled from shelves proves that change can happen on this campus.

You just need to be persistent.
