REWARD FOR INFORMATION ON HIT-AND-RUN FATALITY RAISED TO $10,000 The amount offered for information leading to an arrest in the Ryan Tsatsos case has been increased to $10,000, according to Crime Stoppers of Flint and Genesee County.

Tsatsos, a Macomb freshman, was walking home on Nov. 1, 2015 when he was struck and killed by a vehicle traveling on Crawford Road.

His killer remains at large.

Crime stoppers is offering up to $2,500 for

information leading to an arrest, and the Tsatsos family is offering another $7,500.

State Police said the vehicle was a darkcolored four door car and likely has damage to the front passenger side.

The car was traveling north on Crawford Road when it struck Tsatsos, who was walking to his on-campus residence hall after attending a Halloween party.

Since April, Detective Sgt. Jeff Hunger of the Michigan State Police said the department has received more than 70 tips about the case.

“We’ve followed up on everything,” he said. “There are still some investigative avenues we are exploring.

But nothing has led to a suspect at this point.”

LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM CLASSES IS FRIDAY AT MIDNIGHT The last day to drop an individual, 16-week oncampus course is midnight on Nov. 4.

Students who wish to withdraw from an individual course or a complete semester will receive an automatic “W” on their transcript.

Withdrawals can be processed by logging into their student account under course registration.

Students with questions about withdrawing from a course should meet individually with their professor or contact

the Registrar’s Office at (989) 774-3261, said Kay Rice, assistant director of records.

About 2,000 students withdraw from online courses each semester, Rice said. As of Nov. 2, almost 1,600 students have withdrawn from courses this semester, and Rice expects about 500 more will withdraw before the deadline.

Students who withdraw from a course will not be refunded and will be charged the full amount for the class, she said.

“At this point, what we recommend is the student works with the instructor to see if withdrawing is the best option,” Rice said.

Courses taken through Global Campus, including online courses, have different drop and withdrawal deadlines from main campus courses.

No individual class withdrawals can be made after the Friday deadline.

Proposed assault weapons ban feeds into fears of taking away your guns

L

ast month, two Democrats in the Michigan House of Representatives introduced a sweeping gun legislation targeting the sale and ownership of assault weapons.

At its core, the legislation would redefine what it means to own an assault weapon. If passed, the state would define an assault weapon as a semi-automatic pistol, or a semiautomatic or pump-action rifle that can hold a detachable magazine. It also affects guns with these features: a pistol grip on a rifle, a pistol shoulder stock, a barrel shroud, a muzzle break or a grip not held by the trigger hand.

Finally, it would ban the sale of these gun types and parts. The state could penalize gun owners with a

four-year felony if they buy, modify, or give these guns to minors as a gift.

Rep. Robert Wittenberg, D-Oak Park, is one of the bill’s cosponsors.

He said these new laws would keep high-powered assault weapons out of the hands of criminals and children without trampling on the Second Amendment rights of citizens.

We do not believe the bill would achieve any of its stated goals of curbing gun violence. It may discourage responsible gun ownership in Michigan.

Wittenberg’s bill does not offer any new solutions for reforming state background checks. It doesn’t prohibit the sale of ballistic gun parts that do real harm, like high-capacity magazines.

A bill like this would not have prevented Kalamazoo shooter Jason Dalton from acquiring a gun. It won’t prevent the next crazed killer from purchasing a gun of any caliber, either.

Wittenberg and co-sponsor Rep. Jim Townsend, D-Royal Oak, want to put a hunter’s modified rifle and the AR-15 into the same category. Not only is that nonsensical, it further alienates law-abiding gun owners from being part of the solution.

Any responsible gun owner would tell you that many of these modifications are used for hunting and sport shooting, for military application – the cornerstone of any assault weapon definition.

Democrats coming for their firearms.

It is often bluster and political rhetoric based in paranoia rather than fact. Wittenberg’s bill is exactly what they’re afraid of.

Going after specific firearms is one thing. Banning parts that make guns easier to fire – not necessarily easier to kill – feeds into those fears. It emboldens the National Rifle Association and its surrogates from making sweeping statements about Democrats trying find common ground on guns. opposing any and all gun reforms.

The people of Michigan deserve a substantive debate on gun control.

We must demand solutions that will work for everyone without stepping on the toes of the armed and civil.

Halloween is over, can we just stop hunting killer clowns now?

Surprise, it’s not Pennywise, but what’s happening with these clown sightings is just as creepy.

The popular Steven King movie “IT” is being remade for its 30th anniversary, but the recent killer clown sightings have surpassed any connection to a remake of the horror classic.

Nationally, these clown reports have become more than a creepy game and people aren’t taking the threats lightly.

Lee Moran, editor for the Huffington Post, wrote, “Spooked Floridians say they are arming themselves against the threat of creepy clowns this Halloween.”

Rachel Trombetta Columnist

In the wake of these sightings around the country – and one reportedly on Central Michigan University’s campus – students aren’t just waiting for a clown to appear and cause havoc. Instead, they’re “clown hunting,” causing a scene out of “The Purge.”

So what is the deal with these clowns? Are they evil villains that

have come to take over America?

The answers are unknown, but the thought of a creepy clown killing you or a loved one is enough to cause mass hysteria.

Plenty of people are setting up clown neighborhood watch groups, which seems like a funny and clever defense. The consequences, however, are troubling.

Some people, including CMU students, took advantage of this fear and morphed it into a circus act. What they don’t realize is they or the clown could get hurt in the process.

These supposed creepy clowns aren’t hurting anyone, and even

though clown hunting may seem like a new pastime, the potential of maiming a harmless stranger outweighs the momentary adrenaline rush of capturing a red-shoed prankster.

We should be less concerned about the clowns and more concerned if people pulling a prank end up dead.

We aren’t making the situation better by making false accusations, either. At present, there’s no way to tell if the sightings are even credible except for a few noted examples. The first sighting was in South Carolina, but those claims have spread to

over 10 states including Pennsylvania, Ohio and Minnesota.

The Cincinnati News published an article about a teacher in Ohio who was attacked on Sept.

29 by an unknown male dressed as a clown.

The woman told police that her attacker made threats toward her students. This caused the area school district and a nearby high school to close on Sept. 30.

On Oct. 3, there was allegedly a clown sighting on our campus.

Of course, the student reaction was to set forth on another hunt for Bozo in the midnight hours.

Students went out with com-

mon items as weapons – hockey sticks, brooms, you name it. They were out for blood, even if in jest. It wasn’t funny, and this isn’t a joke anymore should we have more “sightings.”

It’s time to join hands and put this clown business back in is tiny car and big-top tent, and the only way to end this foolish epidemic is it to stop making false reports of clown sightings.

Killer clowns are scary, for sure, but we don’t need a frenzy of fake clowns thrown into the mix. Take a cue from Pennywise.

Even he wouldn’t approve of this clowning around.

‘Normie’ stereotype doesn’t describe Rocky Horror fans TO THE EDITOR: In regards to the Rocky Horror “Point and Counterpoint”.

I understand it is an opinion column, but I was frustrated with Opinion Editor Ben Solis’ article. Ben expressed his dislike for “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” which is perfectly fine, it’s not for everybody. It was his presumptuous assumptions,

however, of those who partake in the shows audience that pissed me off.

I was introduced to Rocky Horror at a young age. It taught me about a world I never knew existed. Being confident in your sexuality, transgendered people, bisexuals, and garter belts! I have been going to the shows for years, so I don’t fit in your

“preppy Panera eating girl” box.

RH is an opportunity to dress up and show off. It truly is a judgment free zone. And so what if girls show up in sexy outfits and heavy make up? How is that different then what some young women do for Halloween? At least at RH you won’t be “slut shamed” for your outfit.

Rocky Horror would never

win an Oscar, but it’s not about the plot (a call out even addresses the lack of meaning for the movie). It’s about being confident, showing off, throwing shit and bonding with the people around you by yelling at characters on screen. Rocky Horror brings a lot of different types of people together.

So maybe it’s just a one time

“freak flag” flying parade a year for people and maybe they fake it for the sake of a good time, but that’s what Rocky Horror is about. Having a good time.

Regular attendees don’t give a damn if you’re a “Rocky Horror Virgin”, all that matters is that you are in the spirit!

So don’t assume we all fit into a category, and if some people

do fit into your box, at least they are having a blast. You are clearly above us “partygoers” and I hope you enjoy your Misfit records.

The rest of us will be doing the time warp again and again. Until next Halloween, I’ll be shivering in antici……pation.

Reelect Moreno to the Isabella County Board of Commissioners TO THE EDITOR: A major challenge of Isabella County Board of Commissioners is determining ways to maintain current levels of service for taxpayers with less and less appropriations from state revenue sharing and property taxes. Commissioner James S. Moreno (Democrat/District 5) has worked tirelessly over the past six years, to solve funding issues such as these.

I am writing in support of the re-election of James Moreno to the Isabella County Board of Commissioners. Jim has served six years on the Commission, and he is seeking reelection to a 4th term. He is deeply committed to serve not only his constituents of District 5, but all citizens of the county.

Jim recognizes the interconnectedness of the communities in the county. He is dedicated

to addressing issues concerning social justice, human rights and the environment.

As a Commissioner, he plays a leadership role in related state and national associations.

Jim serves as chairperson of the Michigan Climate Action Network: Northern Michigan Counties Association, the Human Resources and Public Works Committee, and the Community Corrections Advi-

sory Board.

Prior to his service on the County Board, Jim served two terms on the Mount Pleasant City Commission, where he made significant contributions. As a graduate of Mount Pleasant High, Mid-Michigan Community College (Associates Degree in Computer Information Systems) and Central Michigan University (BS Degree in Health Fitness)

his longevity and attachment to Isabella County are profound.

The depth of his involvement in the community is indicative of his commitment to service.

He is a graduate of the Rollie Denison Leadership Institute (RDLI), a concentrated, educational program that prepares individuals as leaders of the future in the greater Mt. Pleasant area. In addition, he is a recipient of the Level One Elected

Officials Academy Award, sponsored by the Michigan Municipal League.

Commissioner Moreno is a splendid candidate for reelection. I urge you to join me on November 8 to reelect James Moreno for Isabella County Board of Commissioners, District 5.

A Trump presidency is the only choice for change in America TO THE EDITOR: Donald Trump has said terrible things, but none of them would ruin our economy or destroy our country as the election of Hillary Clinton would. There is clear documentation of Hillary’s dishonesty and unworthiness.

She has lied about the Benghazi Attack and her State Department emails on her per-

sonal server. Hillary makes false promises to everyone to get votes; Trump makes no false promises. Hillary says she will raise taxes when elected; Trump will lower taxes.

Hillary has said in private that she wants open borders. This huge influx of immigrants will strain our healthcare, school, housing, and welfare systems — if not bankrupt them altogether.

Vote for Mielke to end GOP gerrymandering in Michigan TO THE EDITOR: The League of Women’s Voters forum strongly reinforced my intention to vote for Bryan Mielke, who is running for the Michigan House, the 99th district. Bryan has a wonderful wife and children and is a small businessman in our community.

The primary reason I support Bryan Mielke is that he has the highest possible integrity and he is beyond reproach. As a Trustee on the Board of Union Township, Bryan has worked to counteract backroom dealing that was contrary to taxpayer interest. He will fight financial corruption and dishonesty in Lansing.

Bryan will work against gerrymandering that cheats citizens of their right to vote. He is against Citizen’s United that has engulfed our political scene with floods of billionaire money and is against the appointment of emergency managers

by Republicans. The like of which resulted in the poisoning of many citizens in Flint, among other

things. Michigan is ranked 50th in the nation in transparency and accountability, which Bryan will act to remedy.

As a small businessman himself, Bryan Mielke knows how to encourage new jobs in small businesses, in contrast to Michigan Republican leaders who gave more than a billion dollars to big business which was not tied to jobs in Michigan.

Finally, I am extremely disappointed by the completely dishonest and misleading Trumplike TV ads in support of Bryan’s opponent, Roger Hauck.

Whether you are a Republican, Independent, or Democrat, it is clear that Republican Donald Trump and Roger Hauck have no business imposing their dishonest and unscrupulous ways on our community.

CHARLES NOVITSKI Mount Pleasant

Open borders will also allow the continued flow of felons, drug traffickers and gang members into the United States. Trump will seal our borders from these bad, illegal immigrants.

Hillary says publically she will restrict Wall Street from bad behavior, but privately she tells them that they are the best in deciding their own restrictions.

Hillary will continue the federal government control over much our lives so that she can continue to control of our country’s wealth and power. Trump will make changes that give control back to the people.

PAUL ELLIS Grand Rapids

Moreno’s deserves continued support as commissioner TO THE EDITOR: Jim Moreno, District 5 County Commissioner, has done an outstanding job of representing his constituents in the past, and when re-elected, will continue to do so in the future.

He has distinguished himself as an assertive progressive voice on the Isabella County Commission, supporting the public interest in the areas of health and human services, clean energy, human rights, public transportation and recycling. Jim has also demonstrated his commitment to the job of County Commissioner through a variety of educational and leadership activities.

These include his being a graduate of both the Elective Officials Academy, sponsored by the Michigan Municipal League, and the locally based Rollie Denison Leadership Institute. He is currently president of the Northern Michigan Counties Association (MCA), which serves 33 counties. He has served on MCA committees dealing with state

wide transportation, environmental and regulatory issues, and health and human services.

On the local front, Jim Moreno has been an active member of the governance committee of the Central Michigan Rural Regional Health Care Network, Isabella Community Collaborative, the Mount Pleasant Citizens Climate Lobby, and the Green Tree Grocery cooperative. Jim also is a U.S. Army veteran and earned a bachelor’s degree from CMU, and an Associate Degree in Computer Information Systems from Mid-Michigan Community College.

Citizens who live in the district west of Mission and south of Pickard in the City of Mt. Pleasant are fortunate to have had Jim Moreno dedicatedly representing their interests. He deserves their continued support and vote on Nov. 8.

JOHN DINSE CMU Professor Emeritus Political Science

Mielke calling for greater transparency in state government TO THE EDITOR: This election season, one of the bigger national topics has been the Supreme Court’s decision on Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which allows corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on political communications such as ‘attack ads’ that flood televisions provided they are “independent” from a specific candidate.

This decision has effectively escalated a Cold War between Democratic-favoring lobbyists and Republican-favoring lobbyists. Corporations and lobbyists should not influence our politics, their presence distances politicians further and further away from the public they’re supposed to represent, and closer to corrupted and moneyed interests.

Over the first half of 2016, lobbyists spent $21.7 million to influence Michigan’s politics, breaking the record again for most money spent here in the state. To make matters worse, Michigan is ranked dead last out of 50 states on ethics and transparency laws, the kind of laws that would disclose donors, deter corruption, and reduce the pay-to-play climate. We need mutual financial disarmament if we want to restore faith in our representatives and our government, otherwise, money will continue to influence who wins.

Bryan Mielke is a candidate caught in the updraft of political upheaval, where people across the country are increasingly discontent with the amount of greed, corruption, and backdoor dealings from both sides of the aisle. One

of Bryan’s pledges is to introduce anti-lobbying laws to Michigan’s State House, which would severely weaken the stranglehold of influence interest groups currently have over the Michigan House and Senate.

Mielke isn’t just hot-air either. He has a track record. In 2015, Mielke as a Union Township Trustee lead an internal investigation to what could be a cover-up of improper zoning procedures.

“I have heard from quite a few residents and developers, and the perception of many is that the permitting process in Union Township is corrupt and nothing more than the good ole boy system, and it has been around a long time,” Mielke.

This lead to the resignation of two Union Township employees, a lawsuit – later dropped – and

the reformation of Union Township’s ethics and practices, and encouraging an open and more transparent local government.

It’s politics like this that truly affect where you live, as opposed to national politics such as the presidential race, which effects are rarely felt deep in your cities and towns. There’s a lot that needs to change here in Mount Pleasant and in Michigan as a whole. We need a genuine agent of change; a vehicle to get down into real issues rather than fending off armies of lobbyists.

The man for that is clearly Bryan Mielke.

Writing in myself on ballot is a better choice for president than Trump, Clinton, Johnson TO THE EDITOR: We know that many politicians make promises they cannot keep and they typically use manipulative and ambiguous language to hide their true ideas and feelings. They hope the public will forget their false statements.

However, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton might have the record for the most amount of lies conveyed to the public during the campaign for president.

James Green, in a letter in New Hampshire’s Londonderry Times referenced the fact checking website Politifact and exposed the false statements by the presidential candidates. Approximately 29 percent of Clinton’s statements were either mostly false, false or “pants on fire.”

Trump fared even worse. Approximately 71 percent of his statements were either mostly false, false or pants on fire.

Trump cannot be trusted when he said he will bring jobs back to America. He has outsourced jobs to China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Mexico. He employs many foreign workers.

Unfortunately, Johnson, the Libertarian candidate for president, has made two significant gaffes in recent interviews, and he appears to lack knowledge of world affairs.

We can’t trust Clinton or Trump to tell the truth. I am writing in myself for president.

Moreno’s resume as county commissioner proves he’s earned reelection on Nov. 8 TO THE EDITOR: Jim Moreno is a candidate for County Commission District 5.

At a recent candidate forum, Moreno called himself a “meetings junkie.” No one, Democrat or Republican, would disagree. He represents Isabella County at more conferences and attends more meetings than any other County Commissioner. His opponent, at the same forum, would not commit to putting in the hours and energy Mr. Moreno has.

He has been active with the Citizens Climate Lobby, which recently brought Rear Admiral David Titley to speak at CMU. He’s been on the Six County Board of Health, Green Tree Food Co-op, Michigan Association of Counties Environmental and Regulatory Committee, and Governance Committee of the Central Michigan

Rural Regional Health Care Network.

He’s also served with the Isabella County Red Cross, Michigan Association of Counties Transportation Committee, Michigan Association of Counties Health and Human Services statewide Committee, Michigan Climate Action Network Steering Committee and the Isabella County Collaborative.

Moreno can tout his position as the president of the Northern Michigan Counties Association of 33 counties. And last week, he attended the “Michigan Response to Hate: 2016 Conference” in Lansing.

Isabella County residents would lose its representation and influence in many of these groups were it not for Moreno. Isabella County needs a very active, enthusiastic county commissioner like Jim Moreno.

“Scandal” actress Bellamy Young campaigned for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton Monday in the Bovee University Center auditorium.

Young plays the first lady on “Scandal,” an ABC political television show. With only a few days left before the Nov. 8 election, she spoke to more than 70 students about political issues directly affecting them, including student debt, job creation and women’s rights.

“I’ve always considered myself a feminist, but I never saw it in action,” Young said. “Every first lady before her was very decorous and (wore) white-gloves. Hillary was very ‘sleeves rolled up’ (and) ready to do whatever it takes.”

Young said America has never had a more qualified candidate for president than Clinton.

She called the scope of Clinton’s experience “overwhelming,” as is her “tenacity and resilience” throughout the election.

“What strikes me most about what she has done is the love (by her supporters). It’s not easy to start a conversation with the hate (found within this election), so you never know what you’re going to get,” Young said. “(With politics) if you don’t love it, you put it down and walk away. Hillary Clinton has never walked away.”

Young discussed Clinton’s jobs plan, saying it’s the “biggest job plan since Eisenhower.”

Clinton’s 100-Day Jobs Plan includes investing in American infrastructure and manufacturing, cracking down on trade abuse, cutting taxes and creating jobs through clean energy.

She added Clinton supports women and LGBTQ+ rights. Under Clinton’s potential presidency, she said people won’t “have to drag their past” with them when they “try to walk toward their future.” “(This election has) held a mirror on the misogyny in the country, which is disheartening,” Young said. “The only way I can think is to turn (focus) back to the issues, the world I want to live in and what the world thinks of us.

I want us to have partners in the world, a seat at the table for everyone.”

Young was awarded the Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Scandal.”

“I’m a fan of (Young). I was excited that she came to CMU to endorse Hillary and help students become more informed on issues,” Mar-

“What strikes me most about what she has done is the love (by her supporters). It’s not easy to start a conversation with the hate (found within this election), so you never know what you’re going to get. (With politics) if you don’t love it, you put it down and walk away. Hillary Clinton has never walked away.”

Bellamy Young, “Scandal” actress

shall senior Alyssa Shumaker said. “This election is really important. You’re either here or there.

There’s not really a middle (in this election).”

Clinton campaign volunteers distributed stickers and requested students to sign up for shifts to canvas for Clinton during the final days before the election.

Brad Snyder, a University of Michigan alumnus, said his friend graduated from college seven years ago $140,000 in debt.

He said this made it harder to start a successful post-college life and pushed her “farther from the American Dream.”

“We need a president whose policies are reflective of our young people,” Snyder said.

“We all know someone struggling to pay for college, or you yourself are struggling with student loans. That student debt is one of the biggest things affecting our lives as Millennials.”

Under her presidency, Clinton promises by 2021, families with an income below $125,000 will pay no tuition for in-state college and universities.

Young is the second actress Clinton Campaign student volunteers brought to Central Michigan University in the past week. “Orange is the New Black” actress Uzo Aduba campaigned for Clinton on Saturday.

On-campus alcohol, drug addiction counseling now offered

By Kate Carlson Managing Editor news@cm-life.com

Students who struggle with alcohol and drug addiction can now receive treatment at Central Michigan University.

Central Michigan Collegiate Recovery Education and Wellness, or CM CREW, consists of two Ten16 Recovery Network employees working out of Robinson Residence Hall Room 319.

Ten16 is an agency that offers detox, outpatient counseling, peer support, education and prevention for alcohol and other drug addictions.

The center has locations in Midland and Mount Pleasant, as well as across the state of Michigan.

“The university has tried getting an alcohol and other drug counselor and it’s money we don’t have,” said Tony Voisin, associate vice president of student affairs. “We’ve tried for the last three or four years and have submitted proposals because we (didn’t) have anyone to do that.”

CM CREW is still getting set up their office, but will start seeing students in a limited capacity this semester. Zero university dollars are paying for the salary and benefits of the two employees.

The first recovery support group will be held

by CM CREW at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 15, and will continue every Tuesday and Friday at noon in room 139 in Robinson Hall.

“It’s a confidential opportunity for students who have a desire to not use or are already not using to meet and find community with each other,” said Jessica Miller, CM CREW program supervisor.

The support sessions will be called “Recovery by the Slice,” because free pizza will be available to students who attend the group session.

“We’re leasing the space to (Ten16) and the rent they pay is going back into the account that funds their programming,” Voisin said. “It’s not taking away dollars from other programs. It’s not tuition money or state money — it’s outside money paying for the staff members.”

Programming costs for CM CREW will be funded with $10,000 gathered from disciplinary fines through the Office of Student Conduct. Isabella County contributed money from funds generated in the county from the liquor tax in coordination with money from Ten16 to pay for the two positions.

Even though the CM CREW office is still in development, students can contact the two Ten16 employees — Miller and Gabe Stummee, student support coordinator — by calling (989) 774-1220 or (989) 774-1224 or by emailing jmiller@1016.org or gstumme@1016.org.

CM CREW SUPPORT GROUP SESSIONS The first recovery group session will be held: w 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15. w Robinson Hall, Room 139

Eventually, a new phone number will be assigned to CM CREW and they hope to set up regular “drop in” hours in the near future, but students are welcome to stop by during the day.

“If a student wants to live without relying on alcohol or other drugs, we want to be that person there for them to meet them where they’re at,” Miller said. “Recovery looks different for everybody. We want to be there for everyone.”

Stummee will lead the support therapy sessions. Because of his background of being in long-term recovery himself, he said he will be able to easily relate to students in the group sessions.

Stummee graduated last year from Augsburg College in Minneapolis where he participated in a collegiate recovery program. He helped lead it and was part of a partnership the college had with a nearby recovery high school, he said.

Miller also said she is in long term recovery, and has nine years of experience under her belt of counseling students at Delta College.

“When a student calls this office, they can trust that (the person) on the other end of the phone will understand what they’re going through because they’ve been there in one form or another,” Stummee said.

Only CMU students will be able to utilize CM CREW, Voisin said, but if they use the resources and graduate, there are other branches of the nonprofit that graduates could get connected with if they choose.

“Students leave the university for all types of reasons — family reasons, academic reasons, financial reasons — but also because they are struggling with alcohol and drug addictions,” Voisin said. “This is a way we’re hoping to increase retention.”

On a second drug or alcohol offense a student

“It’s such a great thing for students facing these kinds of issues. I’m very encouraged by the relationship we’ve developed with the Ten16 (employees). It’s a great thing for CMU and its students — that’s why we’re doing it.”

COVER STORY NOV. 3, 2016

Like his father, Tom, Keno Davis builds legacy as D-I coach

By Dylan Goetz

Staff Reporter

sports@cm-life.com

Keno Davis recalls getting on the school bus as an eighth-grader and being greeted by his middle school classmates chanting “USSR.” Tom Davis, Keno Davis’ father, and the Iowa Hawkeyes basketball team had just lost an exhibition game to the Soviet Union National Basketball Team prior to the 1986-87 season.

“All of the sudden,” Davis said. “I knew that Iowa basketball was big.”

Occurrences such as these were a theme in Keno Davis’ life growing up as the son of an NCAA Division I basketball coach.

His first memory of the game is as a ball boy at Boston College where his father coached from 1977 until 1982. As ball boy, Keno Davis returned rebounds to players during warm-ups and wiped sweat off the court between offensive possessions.

He also recalled being at practice and watching basketball games court-side as his father worked. He attended multiple NCAA Tournament games, including the 1987 Sweet 16 matchup between Iowa and Oklahoma.

By the time Keno Davis was a young man, he was hooked.

CMU assistant basketball coach Kevin Gamble made the game-winning shot with five seconds left in overtime to win the game for the Hawkeyes. A 14-year old Keno Davis can be seen in a video replay celebrating at the end of the Hawkeyes’ bench as Gamble’s shot sent Iowa to the Final Four.

Andrew Kuhn | File Photo Central Michigan University head basketball coach Keno Davis yells to his team during a basketball game.

COACHES’ LIFE Tom Davis began his head coaching career at Lafayette in 1971. He was a head coach at five different schools during his 36-year coaching career, including Boston College, Stanford, Drake and most notably, Iowa.

Because the family was forced to move each time Tom Davis took a new job, his son was exposed to a variety of American cultures and basketball philosophies.

“Even when we were taking vacations, it was revolving around a speaking engagement or a recruiting trip,” Keno Davis said. “Even before I ever had an idea that coaching or basketball would be part of whatever I decided to do as a profession, I was getting experience and seeing behind the scenes.”

Watching his father go through the ups and downs of be-

ing a college basketball coach was not always easy.

“I got to experience the good and bad days that a coach has — the whole roller-coaster of emotion,” Keno Davis said. “Experiencing it as a child, up until going into college was good background for me to get a full understanding and awareness of everything that I might be getting into.”

He played basketball at Iowa City West High School.

Keno Davis made the team, but did not see a lot of playing time until his senior season.

“During that time in high school, everybody knew who I was,” he said. “It never really bothered me and I didn’t think too much of it because of my experience growing up.”

When a career as a player did not appear realistic, Keno Davis was determined to stay involved in the sport he loved.

JOINING THE COACHING STAFF Because of the opportunity to help out with the basketball team, Keno Davis attended the University of Iowa.

“I was never a great basketball player at all,” he said. “I had the opportunity to go to a smaller school to play. I was a better golfer at the time and had some opportunities to play golf at the college level.”

Keno Davis became an undergraduate assistant coach for Iowa before the 1991-92 season during his freshman year.

The first advice he received while starting as an undergraduate assistant coach was simple: Learn as much as possible.

“It’s a really good piece of advice and it’s simple,” he said.

“As a young, aspiring coach, you are better off when you are learning to take one little thing from each coach that you really like. I was able to be able to learn from other coaches that I worked with and work for.”

Scouting opponents was one of his major roles as an undergraduate assistant coach. He worked with Frank DiLeo, an assistant coach, to scout teams.

“We made a scouting trip to Drake, and there was an out-of-bounds play (an opposing team was running). I started jotting it down and getting all the details. Keno looked at me and said ‘Wow, you can get all that?’” said DiLeo remembering one scouting trip. “He came along to learn and realized that he did have things to learn even though he had been around basketball (his entire life).”

Keno Davis said he remembered the trip and remembered how impressed he was with how DiLeo captured the details in the scouting report.

“They ran the play and (DiLeo) had the name of the play,

This is not something you can’t do the first time. You have to have experience in doing it.”

Through experience, Keno Davis was able to learn what worked, what didn’t work and how players responded to different styles of coaching.

FATHER, SON AND BASKETBALL To Keno Davis, basketball is about more than winning or losing. It’s about family.

He said he talks to his father after every game he has ever coached, but their relationship is far more than coaching and basketball.

“We have an incredible relationship outside of basketball,” Keno Davis said. “To be able to talk to somebody about the profession and the different games and have a different perspective helps him stay involved with the game and it gives me a great resource to be able to lean on someone.”

Keno Davis and Tom Davis reunited on the court when his father came out of retirement to coach at Drake in 2003.

It was the first the father and son’s paths crossed as coaches.

“When we first took the job, we had a hotel room that we were living out of. We would get up at the crack of dawn and go into the office until it was time to go to sleep,” Keno Davis said. “We were able to set the foundation through a lot of hard work for what the program

would be in three to five years.”

During that time, he said he learned some profound lessons from his father about the game and life.

“That experience had a lot of value to me,” he said.

After being a head coach at Drake for four seasons, Tom Davis retired and allowed his son to take over in his first head coaching job after the 2006-07 season.

During the 2007-08 season, Keno Davis led Drake to a conference regular-season title after being projected to finish ninth in the Missouri Valley Conference. After coaching the Bulldogs to a 28-5 record, Keno Davis was named the Associated Press Coach of the Year.

Tom and Keno Davis are the only father-son duo to win the award. Tom Davis earned the award during his first season at Iowa in 1986-87.

Keno Davis you share with your father.” coached with his father, Tom Davis, at Iowa from 1991 until 1995.

During the 2007-08 season, Tom Davis sat across from the bench to watch his son’s team.

“He would sit at the media table and watch as a fan, but also (because) ‘once a coach, always a coach,’” Keno Davis said. “After games, I was looking for feedback. He wouldn’t give it to me because he was afraid that I would think that he was trying to coach the team.”

But Tom Davis didn’t give his son the notes he took during games. He wanted his son to know Drake was his team.

“I almost had to force it out of him,” Keno Davis said. “He was worried about our relationship versus the professional relationship.”

As he took over that team, Keno Davis said he never felt any stress or pressure to coach as well as his father.

As he prepares to lead the Chippewas in his fifth season in Mount Pleasant, Keno Davis will not forget the man who helped shape him into the coach and person he has become.

“He had so much success and had the longevity of his career,” he acknowledged. “I don’t think anybody thought that would be possible. I don’t think it’s possible to have that many wins and success over the time that he did it.”

Through the ups and downs of both of their coaching careers, father told son one thing above all else: Coach what you believe in.

“Don’t do something because the fans want you to or something that an administrator wants you to do,” Keno Davis said.

“At the end of the day, you are going to be judged for the kind of program you have and how successful you can be.

“You have to focus on what you believe in.”

Men’s basketball determined to overcome low expectations

By Austin Denean Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Last season, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team was considered a favorite to win the Mid-American Conference Championship.

This season, the Chippewas were selected to finish last in the MAC West Division in the MAC Coaches Poll.

When CMU takes the floor for its first exhibition game Nov. 5, there will be eight players on the roster who didn’t play last season.

The Chippewas lost numberous starters to graduation, including the program’s all-time assist leader Chris Fowler and top 3-point shooter John Simons.

“Every time you bring a recruiting class in, there’s some unknown,” head coach Keno Davis said. “The thing I like about this group is we see something from the new guys every day. The depth of this year’s team has the chance to be a strength.”

Even though there will be a lack of familiar faces taking the court for CMU, Davis said he doesn’t see a lack of talent on his roster.

“It’s an exciting team to be able to coach,” he said. “Our chance to improve early in the season and throughout the year gives us a chance to be competitive this year.”

The fifth-year head coach wouldn’t place expectations of wins on his team, but emphasized the importance of improving throughout the year.

“With so much youth, there are going to be nights that are going to be tough for us,” Davis said. “Things aren’t going to go right. We’re going to make mistakes, but if we continue to improve and stay healthy, there’s nobody in the conference we can’t beat.”

CMU will be led by the guard combination of senior Braylon Rayson and junior transfer Marcus Keene.

Keene transferred to the team last season from Youngstown State, but was forced to sit out due to NCAA transfer rules.

Rayson was the Chippewas’ second leading scorer at 16.3 points per game and contributed 3.7 rebounds.

“If we would have had them a few years ago, they would have put up as

many points as we needed,” Davis said.

CMU also returns junior forward Luke Meyer, who started every game last season, as well as junior forwards Josh Kozinski and DaRohn Scott, who played in every game.

Forward Blake Hibbits will also return to the team after sitting out last season with a torn ACL. The Hudsonville senior is a career 35 percent 3-point shooter.

With so many new faces taking the court for CMU this season, Davis said there will be plenty of opportunities for different players to step up and earn significant playing time and starting roles.

Women’s basketball to rely on returnees, improved defense in 2016-17

By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

It took 3.4 seconds for Central Michigan women’s basketball team to lose during an overtime buzzer-beater against Buffalo last March in the Mid-American Conference Tournament Championship in Clevelan.

“Coach doesn’t let us forget (3.4),” said sophomore forward Reyna Frost. “We won’t forget that.

That was heartbreaking. Just thinking about it gets you tense. We just want to be able to come out on top in those games (like Buffalo).”

CMU was picked to win the MAC West Division and the MAC Tournament in this year’s MAC preseason poll.

Head Coach Sue Guevara said there is an emphasis on defense for the 2016-17 Chippewas.

Guevara returns four of her five starters from last season. Sophomore guard Presley Hudson, junior guard Cassie Breen, junior forward Tinara Moore and Frost.

The Chippewas also bring back several bench players including MAC Sixth Player of the Year and senior forward Jewel Cotton, senior guard Jasmine Harris, and junior guards Amani Corley and Aleah Swary.

“I like the energy of our team and they’re pretty coachable,” Guevara said. “Last year, we had a lot of inexperienced depth. I think that’s only going to help us.”

Last season, the Chippewas compiled a 22-11 record, including a 14-4 record in the MAC, winning the MAC West Division title. After falling in the MAC Tournament title game, the Chippewas were invited to the WNIT but fell in the first round at home to IUPUI. Hudson and Corley will replace Da’Jourie Turner at the point guard position. Hudson, who is the reigning MAC Freshman of the Year, led the team with 13.9 points per game and dropped 53 points in her first two games against Indiana State and Oakland.

Frost, Moore and Cotton lead a frontcourt that helped the Chippewas lead the MAC in rebounding last year, corralling 1,446 boards in 33 games.

CMU averaged 43.8 rebounds per game — 7.5 rebounds more than its opponents.

Three newcomers join the team as freshmen.

Guard Micaela Kelly comes in as a DePaul transfer, and Guevara said it is unknown whether she will be eligible to play. The team also added guard MacKenna Kelly and forward Averi Gamble.

ence slate. The Chippewas open the season at Notre Dame, who was ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press preseason poll on Tuesday.

“I think we’re all very hungry,” Hudson said.

“We’ve got a good opponent in Notre Dame which we’re all excited for. It’ll be a good challenge for us to see how we do against them and see how we are against a big team like that.”

Sophomore tandem looks to improve on last year’s success

By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Last season, Presley Hudson and Reyna Frost were part of the hardest-working freshman class Sue Guevara said she has ever had at Central Michigan.

Hudson and Frost were instrumental in helping the Chippewas go from a fifth-place finish in the Mid-American Conference preseason women’s basketball poll to MAC Tournament runner-ups in March.

As the two begin their sophomore seasons, the duo is focused on getting the Chippewas back to Cleveland to avenge their 73-71 overtime loss to Buffalo and head to the NCAA Tournament.

“I think everybody’s mindset for each year has been getting a championship, so that won’t change,” Hudson said.

Hudson led CMU in scoring last season, averaging 13.9 points per game. She scored 53 points in her first two games as a Chippewa and was named the College Madness National Player of the Week and the MAC West Player of the Week.

The reigning MAC Freshman of the Year is not perfect each time out, Guevara said with a reminder that Hudson was held scoreless in a game last season.

“You saw last year when Presley didn’t score,” Guevara said. “Every time I told her, ‘Everything that you’re doing, that game was an anomaly. It happens. Let it go and move on.’ (It’s about) consistency and I think that’s what she did.”

Guevara also challenged her guard to be more vocal at the point guard position. Hudson and junior guard Amani Corley were asked to lead a team exercise.

“They had to lead, they had to direct, they had to instruct, they had to hold somebody accountable. They had to open their mouths and be heard,” Guevara said. “I’ve seen (and heard) more of that from both them.”

Hudson said communication and hard work are the keys to this team’s success, and added she needs to be more vocal as a potential facilitator of the offense.

“I feel I just have to be a lot more vocal with the team — just kind of being more of a point guard,” Hudson said. “I have to be

able to tell people where they need to be, calling out plays and stuff like that.”

Frost went from a bench role to starter last season. In the MAC opener, she recorded a career-high 27 points in a win over Kent State and also posted 18 points and 20 rebounds in a win against Akron later in the season.

The Chippewas led the MAC in rebounding, and Frost was fourth in the conference with 9.3 boards per game.

Frost said she wants to leave CMU

as the school’s all-time leader in rebounds, which is currently held by Crystal Bradford’s 1,140 boards from 2011-15. Frost tallied 308 in her freshman season.

“We didn’t lose any rebounders and that’s important because that was a big part of our game last year,” Frost said. “Being able to do that helps us win a lot of games. We’re all in shape and we all know the game better (with) more experience. I think we’ll be able to dominate the boards again.”

“(Marcus) and I go back since sixth grade. He was the enemy back then. We always battled, but he never beat me.”

From rivals to brothers: Texas natives eager to play together for first time

By Kullen Logsdon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

In four years of playing on rival high school basketball teams in Texas, Marcus Keene never beat Braylon Rayson.

The pair of guards from Dallas West Mesquite and San Antonio Warren now play alongside each other on the Central Michigan men’s basketball team. But don’t think for a moment that any part of that rivalry has ended.

West Mesquite defeated Warren during each of the four years the two played against each other – and Rayson doesn’t let Keene forget it. “(Marcus) and I go back since sixth grade,” Rayson said. “He was the enemy back then. We always battled, but he never beat me.”

Keene said their personal rivalry stemmed from them being the top player on each team and trying to stand out to college scouts.

“We were enemies because we were both trying to get to that next level. We were cool off the court but not on it,” he said. “It was a lot of fun. Both of us were really little back then and his team (unfortunately) got the best of mine.”

FROM LONE STAR STATE TO THE MIDWEST After their senior seasons, both finished their high school careers with awards and college scholarships.

Keene finished as Warren’s all-time leading scorer and was on his way to Youngstown State in Ohio.

However, the Penguins were in the bottom half of the conference. Keene said he wasn’t given the proper opportunity there.

“I didn’t feel like it was the right situation at the time and just didn’t work out, so I wanted to start somewhere new,” he said.

Rayson broke several school records of his own at Warren and was a McDonald’s All-American nominee heading to CMU. As freshmen, both earned playing time and made vast developments in their first seasons. By the time they were sophomores, both were starting and putting up high numbers.

Rayson was averaging 11 points per game for the Chippewas and was the team’s fourth scoring option.

“Last year I was a leader but couldn’t be vocal enough,” he said. “I was a younger guy and had to wait my turn.”

Keene was averaging 15.6 points per game —

good enough for first on YSU and sixth overall in the Horizon League.

While Keene and Rayson took separate paths, the two Texas natives kept in contact. Rayson was constantly in Keene’s ear after the Chippewas won the Mid-American Conference. He said he was intrigued with the strides the program was making.

“I knew for a fact he was going to come here, just because I was here,” Rayson said. “I knew before he knew.”

RIVALS TURNED TEAMMATES Keene announced he was transferring to CMU after the season and was prepared to join forces with his old high school nemesis.

Due to NCAA transfer rules, Keene had to sit out a year, but used that time to build chemistry with Rayson and the rest of the team.

The main thing he wanted to improve for the upcoming season was his leadership. Taking over for Chris Fowler as lead guard, Keene said he learned a lot from the former MAC Player of the Year.

“He’s one of the best leaders I’ve seen on and off the court. I’ve taken a lot of that as far as wanting to help out the younger guys this year,” Keene said. “I’ve got big shoes to fill. I don’t want to surpass Chris’ legacy. I just want to do what it takes to win games.”

Living a floor apart, Rayson said he and Keene hang out and have grown very close. The two

have learned to stop competing with each other.

Their newfound chemistry, Rayson said, will be hard for teams to match.

“It’s fun to keep building a relationship with someone I call my brother,” Rayson said. “It’s going to be hard for teams to guard someone like him and someone like me. You can’t do it. It’s not possible. It’s going to be exciting.”

Head coach Keno Davis said the duo is special because while they are “great” scorers, they have learned how to create scoring chances for their teammates.

“They’re similar in that they are both very explosive,” Davis said. “They don’t take that open shot if they have a teammate open. They’re both as unselfish as a great scorer can be.”

Keene said he believes the two being smaller guards at 5-foot-9 will make them difficult to guard for other teams.

“Our games will mesh fine. If I’m tired, he can handle the ball and if he’s tired, I can handle the ball,” he said. “We can both shoot and both get to the lane.”

Rayson said he’s excited for his senior season and still can’t believe he is going to play it alongside a former rival.

“After playing against him in high school, I would have never thought we would play together on the same team,” he said. “The person I used to always go to battle with is now on my team.”

Soccer heads to Kent State for conference semifinals

By Von Lozon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

The season will be over with another loss, but a win on Friday guarantees at least one more game for the Central Michigan women’s soccer team.

The Chippewas defeated the Buffalo Bulls 1-0 in the quarterfinals of the Mid-American Conference Tournament last Sunday and earned a trip to Kent State to take on the Golden Flashes in the semifinals.

The lone goal came from sophomore forward Alexis Pelafas in the third minute of the match.

It was the only offense CMU needed after senior goalkeeper Kristen Knutson stopped all four balls shot on net, including three saves in the second half, to preserve the clean-sheet victory.

Now the Chippewas are preparing for their pivotal rematch with Kent State. The first meeting in mid-October resulted in a 1-1 draw in double overtime at the Soccer/Lacrosse Complex.

Pelafas had to sit out during the match due to a yellow card.

“I would assume she’s excited to help this group of seniors play in their first semifinal,” said head coach Peter McGahey. “Whoever our opponent would be, she would be excited. I’m sure there’s probably a little bit of extra fuel because she didn’t get to play (Kent State) in the regular season.”

The Golden Flashes struck first in the 61st minute of that 1-1 draw, but CMU responded quickly with a goal in the 64th minute by senior midfielder Eliza Van de Kerkhove. Knutson made nine saves against the Golden Flashes.

“The hard part is you have to go

“Whoever our opponent would be, she would be excited. I’m sure there’s probably a little bit of extra fuel because (Pelafas) didn’t get to play (Kent State) in the regular season.”

into the game saying ‘are we preparing to do what we do relative to the game that’s going to be played?’

Remember, (Pelafas) did not play against Kent State last time,” McGahey said. “That changes the complexion in terms of the team.

(Taylor) Potts did not play either. I don’t think Friday night will look or feel like last time.”

Kent State senior forward Jenna Hellstrom has been the offensive leader for the Golden Flashes all season. She has 13 goals with 34 shots on goal, 10 assists and 36 points in 16 games in 2016. She had five shots and

two shots on goal during the first match with the Chippewas.

“I have not focused on Jenna specifically (on tape), but the reality is when you focus on Kent State, you focus on Jenna,” McGahey said. “The issue is that Kent’s identity plays to Jenna’s strengths, much like how our identity plays to our players’ strengths. Both teams have a pretty good idea about who we are and what we’re going to try to do.”

If the Chippewas win, they will play the winner of Northern Illinois and Western Michigan Sunday in the MAC Championship game.

WEEK 6 WINNERS

ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA We spoke with Justine, captian of Alpha Sigma Alpha. Tell us the story about your team.

Our team is made up of our sorority sisters, new members and older members. We enjoy being able to have a little extra sisterhood bonding though the week by coming to IM games, having practice and being able to interact with other sororities.

What’s the biggest challenge for your team in IM Sports?

Our biggest challenge with IM sports is time management we are pretty busy girls who have a ton of priorities such as being a student, working and being involved in other organiza-

tions. Life can become pretty busy, but we try to make the best of it and balance everything.

How competitive would you say the Sorority Flag Football league is? As with any game, we obviously want to win. I do feel that some sororities want to win more than others, but overall we all want to have fun and stay on each others good sides, at the end of the day we are all greek women.

Who’s the MVP of your team?

Our sorority focuses more on teamwork rather then pointing out specific sisters. We are in this together and we are playing to have fun, not to figure out who is the best. After-all we all have our good plays and our bad plays.

HAPPY

Overall my favorite part of our team is that we are not extremely competitive, we are on these fields to laugh, bond and most importantly have fun. We are out there enjoying every moment of the game, regardless of what the score shows and I feel that in itself shows that we are a team based on teamwork and not individuals.
