Athletic Director Heeke to leave CMU for Arizona

By Greg Wickliffe Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

University Athletic Director Dave Heeke is leaving to take the same position at the University of Arizona.

Heeke replaced Herb Deromedi as CMU’s AD in 2006. He replaces Arizona AD Greg Byrne, who left for the University of Alabama.

Heeke, an East Lansing native, spent 18 years at the University of Oregon in its sports department. He was the senior associate athletics director/chief of staff before coming to CMU. “I couldn’t be more excited to be part of the Arizona Athletics family,” Heeke said in a statement released by the University of Arizona. “It is truly an honor to be named the new Vice President for Athletics and have the opportunity to return to the prestigious Pac-12 Conference.

“I also want to thank all of the terrific people at Central Michigan University who have been so wonderful to our family during my time in Mount Pleasant. Arizona has developed a storied history and tradition and I’m looking forward to being a part of the next chapter in Tucson. I can’t wait to Bear Down.”

Central Michigan University President George Ross released a statement Saturday on Heeke’s departure.

“Dave has moved CMU’s athletic program significantly forward in his 11 years here,”

File Photo | Monica Bradburn Dave Heeke announces the hiring of new field hockey head coach, Molly Pelowski, on Feb. 3, 2015.

CMU Ross said. “He spoke during his interviews of creating a championship culture, and he’s achieved that. Our student-athletes, coaches and staff understand the leadership, integrity and excellence they represent on

the field and court, as well as in academics and serving others. I’m proud of Dave and the legacy he’s built here. I wish him and Liz (Heeke’s wife) all the best.”

In the next two weeks, Ross said the uni-

versity will hire a firm to conduct a national search to help find Heeke’s replacement. He plans to hire an interim AD by April 1, Heeke’s last day.

“We will seek candidates committed to furthering our championship culture, who agree that athletes are students first, and who have an unwavering commitment to upholding CMU’s reputation as one of just 13 universities without a major NCAA violation,” Ross said. “We seek a leader who represents all that CMU is, who is an excellent fundraiser and who will be an integral member of the CMU community.”

Heeke had been in talks with other universities in the past. He was one of seven finalists for the AD position at Illinois last year, but didn’t land the job. It was also reported that the University of Michigan was interested in Heeke when the position opened up in 2014.

“I know I’m dedicated and committed to this place because there are great things happening,” Heeke said in a statement last year when asked about possibly leaving. “I’ve been here 10 years and I could see myself here for a lot longer.”

The CMU football team and women’s basketball teams each won Mid-American Conference titles during his time as AD. During his tenure, the Rose Center was renovated as part of a $22.5 million project to improve the CMU Events Center. New practice facilities were made for the basketball, volleyball, gymnastics and wrestling teams, and Kelly/Shorts Stadium installed a $2.5 million video board and permanent lights.

College of Science and Engineering to offer fewer course sections

By Cheyanne Rutterbush Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

The College of Science and Engineering dean, Ian Davison, is confident the college can manage budget reductions without making department cuts.

In response to the $14 million budget deficit, Central Michigan University administrators announced that each academic college should plan for a budget reduction.

Instead of making cuts, Davison said they will manage with less revenue by working more carefully with the departments to eliminate

course sections that receive low enrollment.

“We have done an analysis of our (general education) courses we offer and we disIan Davison covered that this academic year — last fall plus this spring — we have 3,000 vacant seats in sections,” he said. “We are going to be more careful in how we manage the number of sections so that students can still get the courses they need.

“Obviously, if you have that many vacant seats you can reduce the

number of sections, and that means we don’t have to pay as many fixedterm faculty or graduate students.”

Most general education classes are taught by fixed-term faculty.

Davison said there is more frequent turnover with fixed-term faculty because they leave for other jobs that offer a tenure track position.

The College of Science and Engineering has never been in a situation where they have had to lay off professors, Davison said.

The dean said he prioritizes thinking about how to make adjustments within the college without damaging the programs, as enrollment and revenue fluctuates.

“In the event that we had to make cuts, they would not be across the board cuts,” Davison said. “Everybody likes that because it seems fair, but it doesn’t really reflect the reality.”

Davison explained that making cuts to a rapidly growing program would have a bigger impact on the college than reducing expense in less profitable or less popular programs.

Students may notice decreased sections when those courses fill faster during class registration. But Davison said it makes the most sense to cut back on sections when they can entirely fill one classroom instead of having empty seats in multiple sections of a class.

The college does not have any

upcoming plans to search for new faculty, unless there is a vacancy that must be filled, he said.

In more fruitful times, Davison said the college was able to invest in resources for students. For example, it developed five active learning classrooms for students, which were approximately a million dollars per room.

“We will not be accumulating that money this year, that is for sure,” Davison said. “I expect this is a temporary downturn and we will readjust and be back to business as usual.”

Davison said he wants the students to know the deficit and related setbacks should not affect their educational experience.

Performers were rehearsing for the Broadway Theatre’s 2015 Christmas celebration when a broken furnace sent 30 people to the hospital.

The malfunctioning furnace leaked carbon monoxide into the building, poisoning its inhabitants.

More than a year later, the theatre has closed for the winter and the furnace is still broken.

Friends of Broadway, the non-profit organization that operates the theatre, must raise an estimated $35,000 in order to install a heating system that is compatible with the building’s structure.

The organization created a campaign called “Heat the Seats” and has collected approximately $4,000 in donations. Cynthia Kilmer, the Friends of Broadway chairwoman, hopes to expand fundraising efforts to reach the goal. “(We) have been organizing and brainstorming strategies to collaborate with the community and raise money,” Kilmer said.

Ideas have included arranging a banquet and putting on public programs outside of the theater, she said.

The Broadway Theatre opened in 1929. The building served as a venue for silent films and theatrical performances. Because of closing for the winter, the theatre’s ability to earn revenue has sharply diminished. “(Our holiday program) is a big fundraising

event for us so we have had a major financial setback,” Kilmer said. “We were still able to do things in the summer and fall with no heat. But when the cold weather comes upon us, we can no longer do anything.”

Donna Lea, a Broadway Theatre volunteer, created a GoFundMe page to support the theatre’s campaign.

However, she said it seems unlikely the fundraiser will raise enough funds on its own.

“We are going to have to borrow money and have to get another mortgage,” Kilmer said. “It does not look like we will be able to avoid that.”

The theatre has continued to organize auditions for productions, such as the Broadway Playhouse Kids’ production of “Aladdin,” but the meetings must be held in nearby community buildings. Lea wants to see the community do more to support the local arts.

“As a non-profit, we do not have a lot of money,” Lea said. “People’s disposable income is down, with Netflix and so much home entertainment it’s difficult to get patrons out to the theater.”

Kilmer understands the venue’s goal may not be met, but she “maintains an optimistic mind” in regard to Broadway’s challenges.

“We think it’s a worthwhile cause to keep running,” she said.

Outside of community performances, the theater has been home to many Central Michigan University events, such as the Alpha Psi Omega’s Rocky Horror Picture Show Production.

Hazing misconception: It’s not just in Greek Life

By Quinn Kirby Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

When new members of a basketball team are instructed to take an extra lap during practice, theconcept of hazing doesn’t spring to mind.

However, leaders at Central Michigan University say treating people in ways that seem like tradition — such as requiring extra laps for new athletes — is actually a form of hazing.

Greek Life organizations have traditionally been criticized for hazing. However, club sports, academic groups and even marching band have had issues with the practice at CMU. Tom Idema, director of Student Conduct, said CMU defines hazing as “any actions taken or situation created, whether on or off campus, to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule.”

When hazing incidents are reported to the administration, Idema said the protocol is to speak directly with the associated organization. Halting the organization’s functions indefinitely would not be out of the question if the incident is confirmed.

Many are familiar with hazing in the form of forced consumption or physically dangerous tasks, said Jennifer Nottingham, director of Programs and Administration, on Feb. 17 at the anti-hazing panel in Pearce 127. The idea of servitude from newcomers of an organization toward senior members is a lesser recognized form of hazing.

Idema had a similar stance, stating that organizations partake in hazing practices while calling it “training” instead.

This can blur the lines between team building exercises, which involve all members of an organization, and hazing, which isolates the newest members of

a group and causes psychological or physical stress.

Although much of society considers the Greek community to be primary hazing practicing organizations, those organizations take prevention seriously.

“CMU as a whole does a really amazing job at educating students about hazing,” said Macomb Sophomore Kellie Hoenig, a Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority sister. “That’s really nice because hazing can occur anywhere — sports teams, bands, even friend groups.”

Katrina Crawford, assistant director of Fraternity and Sorority Life on campus, said there is a strong stigma associated with Greek Life and hazing. She also said many falsely believe hazing practices are easy to spot.

“The stigma persists because, unfortunately, hazing persists and the media has selected to highlight hazing incidents within certain groups,” Crawford said.

Part of the issue stems from the fact that “fraternities and sororities have the interest of

the entertainment industry,” she continued, citing films such as “Animal House” and “Monsters, Inc. University.”

Because of the close-knit social ties between members of organizations, Danielle Rossman said many believe organizations stick together in silence regarding the practice. But at the antihazing panel, Rossman, who is the assistant director of Student Activities and Involvement, spoke of several incidents where student organization leaders have appeared in her office to express concern of practices that “don’t feel right.”

“Normally that conversation ends with suggestions on how they can get better,” Rossman said.

To report a hazing incident or clarify questionable practices within an organization, students can contact the Office of Student Conduct at 989-774-1345 or the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at 989-774-3016. If an immediate danger to another’s life is present, the administration urges not to hesitate in calling 911.

After a wild start to 2017, students and staff should focus on recharging during spring break The first two months of 2017 have been wild.

We’ll be OK. Let’s just take this time to relax.

Leave your cell phone behind for a few hours, it’s OK to unplug My biggest gripe about my job is how I’m expected to be constantly connected to what is going on.

As a journalist, I’m expected to know the most recent headlines, monitor social media for tips, engage on social media with readers, call, text and email sources, write stories, be 100 percent accurate and listen to criticism when readers aren’t happy.

We need to make time to unplug from our phones, computers and tablets.

We’ve become conditioned to immediately check our text messages, emails, Twitter notifications, Instagram updates, Snapchat stories, Tumblr and Pinterest posts

and Facebook arguments whenever we feel bored. We have forgotten what life was like before computers became glued to our hands.

Our devices also wear us down mentally.

I personally felt the stress of being constantly wired in earlier this school year.

Knowing I needed to make a change, I stopped carrying my cell phone around. Sometimes, I don’t turn it on for days.

The reason, in part, is because I broke my iPhone 5 and am forced to use a prehistoric iPhone 3. But the bigger reason is because I really enjoyed the feeling of not having a phone for a while.

I was free again. I was no longer on the map for people to call or text.

When people saw me in person, they’d jokingly say “we thought you were dead!”

For our virtual conversation’s sake, I might as well have been dead. But now I’m more alive than ever.

Now, I try to live every day in the present. I try to focus on what is going on in front of me and with the people around me. I stopped splitting my thoughts between what I’m doing and what is going on in my text message and email conversations — the virtual world.

Refraining from checking my phone every few minutes gives my mind time to rest during the

day. I think more clearly now that I don’t have a constant stream of information bogging down my brain.

I try to live at a slower pace and that’s OK. We all could afford to slow down. We don’t need to always be mentally stimulated.

I found that it’s OK to go for a walk without my cell phone or spend a few hours in the morning in uninterrupted thought. I won’t miss anything.

I recommend everyone tries it.

You might learn something new about yourself that you just can’t learn on a phone, television or computer screen.

I did.

House Oversight Committee must hold Trump accountable, not overlook Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz, U.S. House Oversight Committee chairman, made a name for himself by vigorously investigating scandals.

He charged headfirst into the investigations of the Flint Water Crisis, Hillary Clinton’s handling of Benghazi and her private email server misconduct. His position is one of the most important in Washington D.C. and he has done a great job — until now.

Chaffetz now refuses to investigate President Donald Trump’s potential conflicts of interest, the alleged contact between his former National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, and the Russians and Kellyanne Conway’s shameless endorsement of Ivanka Trump’s clothing line.

These issues need to be addressed.

Chaffetz’s blatant partisanship is damaging to American democracy and the reputation of his position. It seems Sen. Rand Paul was correct when he said it is no use for Republicans to investigate their fellow Republicans.

What doesn’t make sense is why Chaffetz would just turn a blind eye to his party’s wrongdoing even in the face of clear and obvious malfeasance.

The fact that President Trump has not divested from The Trump

Organization makes corruption and abuse of power too possible. His hotel in Washington D.C. is a glaring example.

In early November, a foreign diplomat noted, “Why wouldn’t I stay at his hotel blocks from the White House? I can tell the new president, ‘I love your new hotel!’ Isn’t it rude to come to his city and say, ‘I am staying at your competitor?’”

Furthermore, Trump leases the space for his Washington D.C. hotel from the General Services Administration. The lease bans public officials from benefitting from the lease in any way. Trump is the most prominent public official in the country.

Chairman Chaffetz’s job is to investigate this and make sure these conflicts of interest are settled. In

doing so, he is supposed to ensure American citizens are protected from corruption and the president is not benefitting monetarily from his position. He’s failing at that job.

The investigations into Clinton’s handling of Benghazi and her private email servers were some of the most thorough in history, producing numerous reports from the Oversight Committee. Where is that same zeal now?

The Washington Post and other outlets have reported there was contact between members of Trump›s campaign team and the Russian government. It has come to light that Flynn lied about discussing the U.S. sanctions on Russia with the Russian Ambassador. These discussions reportedly took place before Trump

In order to keep the campus grounds safe and accessible for students and faculty, Central Michigan University’s snow and ice control teams monitor weather patterns daily and work on a 24-hour basis.

The university spends roughly $100,000 to support and manage the snow and ice control programs for the typical winter season. Most funds go toward salt, which is used to maintain ice coverage done by the Michigan Department of Transportation. Money is also spent on the maintenance of equipment such as blades and plows for the vehicles in the team’s fleet.

Landscape operations manager Matt Weaver is in charge of the Grounds Team system that handles campus maintenance year-round. The Grounds Team and its 17 staff members work primarily as snow and ice control teams during the winter.

Weaver said this winter season, the teams have been called 18 times to plow parking lots and treat paved surfaces.

In the event of a snow storm, teams begin working at around 10 p.m. to plow parking lots — starting with the East Campus lots and working north before circling around and finishing in West Campus. The team always works toward the goal of having at least one path open to every building on campus by 7 a.m., Weaver said.

“We try to plan as much as we can for the weather so we can ensure a 24-hour coverage cycle,” Weaver said. “Storms can hit at any time, so we have a schedule that lets us be ready at any time to go to work.”

Weaver works closely with Jonathan Webb, associate vice president of Facilities Management, to monitor weather before snowstorms.

Facilities Management follows long-range forecasts from multiple news sources to get the most accurate prediction.

The team operate out of Ground South, a garage facility located southwest of Kelly Sports Stadium between Lots 69 and 68. The garage also houses all of the vehicles used by the Grounds Team, including several pickup trucks attached with plows and salt dispensers, John Deere carts that can be outfitted with blades meant for removing from sidewalks and three loaders that are used to plow the larger student parking lots. Two dump trucks are also used to spread salt on the roads near campus.

Plowing for the commuter, staff and faculty lots is done using the larger loading vehicle because the lots are typically cleared out by the time the teams go to work. Pickup trucks with plows are used to clear residence hall and apartment parking lots, as many student vehicles remain in those lots all day, making it more difficult to maneuver.

“My crew has it down to a science at this point,” Weaver said. “There is an eight-to-ninehour period that it takes to get everything cleaned up and ready for students to be able to move around safely.”

Ice storms are more troublesome than snow storms, Weaver said. Unlike snow, where there is a “science” to which paths need to be plowed in what way, ice that forms on campus is more random and less easy to determine.

The teams need to take many different factors into account, like when and where ice will form and how effective their ice melt materials will be, including the duration, intensity and temperature of the storm weather.

CAMPUS POLICE OFFER STUDENTS TIPS FOR A SAFE AND FUN SPRING BREAK Spring break starts March 6, and Central Michigan University police have a few tips for students to stay safe during their vacation.

“Follow the same common sense practices that you would follow during any other time,” Lt. Wassman said.

“Whether you’re staying home or traveling, make sure you’re aware of your surroundings and if you find yourself in a situation that doesn’t feel safe — get out.”

Wassman offered the following tips: • Stick with friends, and when you go out, make sure you keep an eye out for each other.

• Avoid carrying large amounts of

cash or valuable items, especially if you’re in an unfamiliar place.

• Keep your doors locked at home and in your vehicle.

• Crime isn’t a common problem during break, but if students plan on going home, they should take any valuable items with them in case of theft.

“There’s nothing wrong with having a good time,” Wassman said. “But obviously, you should stay safe, follow the law and most importantly — don’t consume too much alcohol.”

“We are hoping that the seriousness of the panel discussion will hit home with students and help them to realize just how valuable and relatable these stories can be,” Zacharski said. “There is a lot of pressure to drink in college and many unfortunate events occur as a result of risky drinking.”

Campus Health Advocates Motivating Peers and Central Michigan Collegiate Recovery, Education and Wellness will host a luau on Wednesday, March 1, in the Bovee University Center Rotunda.

The event will educate students on the importance of spring break safety, particularly regarding the use of alcohol.

The luau will take place from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. and will include games, tabling, free food and a panel discussion.

“This event is meant to be fun and engaging so students can gain better knowledge about the negative consequences of substance misuse,” CHAMP president Hailey Zacharski said.

As interest grows in substance abuse programs, so does the interest in CMU’s addictionrelated minor.

“It’s my hope that through this program and what we’re doing here that we can help people and get a handle on (substance abuse),” Malcolm said.

He and Miller both see addiction as a medical crisis and not a moral failing. Society is starting to accept the concept that addiction is a disease, something professionals have been saying for years.

“Unfortunately, some of what’s changing perception is how many people are being affected by (addiction),” Miller said.

“Somebody (most likely) knows (an addict), or it’s in their family, and that’s what moves a lot of people from the moral (argument) to the medical side.”

Every student who visits CMCREW isn’t necessarily an addict, and it would be counterproductive to assume so, Miller said.

Some students might be abusers, but haven’t transitioned into a full-blown addiction. In that case, CMCREW focuses on programs that educate students on low-risk drinking and moderation.

The only answer for drug abuse is abstinence, Miller said. Some students may be able to make behavioral changes to improve their relationship with alcohol.

“We have students who are curious about sobriety and aren’t sure if they have a problem,” Miller said. “It’s possible that someone has a problem (with drinking) but it doesn’t require them to stay abstinent for their entire life.”

However, Miller said some people “are just meant not to drink.”

“Misery loves company,” he said. “We became dealers together, brothers in arms robbing to keep our habit alive.”

Eventually, McCollom became homeless and unemployed, with a family that wouldn’t speak to him.

That day, he moved into a halfway house. He hasn’t used drugs or

After getting sober, McCollom enrolled in classes at a community college, spending several semesters there before transferring to CMU. The move wasn’t easy.

He was now in an environment punctuated by late-night parties, binge drinking and getting high.

The stress led McCollom to consider suicide and flirt with relapse. He had to take a semester off, but returned to CMU with renewed motivation. A professor told McCollom to start sharing his story as a way to confront his struggle. McCollom started writing and used his experiences to educate others about addiction.

“He not only changed my life, but he saved it, too,” he said. “That was the turning point for staying clean, becoming more accountable and finding recovery.”

The online store and forum SubstanceForYou is the product of that work. McCollom uses it to keep himself steady and to spread the gospel of recovery.

WHEN SOBRIETY FAILS McCollom considers himself lucky. In his mind, addiction leads to one of three outcomes.

“It’s either quit using, go to jail or die,” he said.

Nearly 50 percent of jail and prison inmates are diagnosed as addicts, and 60 percent of people

arrested for most types of crimes test positive for illicit drugs during an arrest, according to a report by National Association of Drug Court Professionals.

HEART CONDITIONS (27 million)

“Addicts have to generate money, and that comes with theft, larceny, retail frauds and home invasion,” Browne said. “A lot of people’s criminal history is because of their history with drugs or their addiction.”

Browne added that addicts with a criminal history have trouble finding work, have difficulty earning an income and find themselves in a hopeless situation. Unfortunately, for many addicts, death is a natural part of life in the fast lane.

McCollom checks the obituaries every day. He said many of the friends he got high with are dead.

“It’s not a big surprise. If they’re still using, you can see it coming,” he said. “But the same thought runs through my head every time. I used to know those people. I used to hang out with those people. They used to be my friends.”

HOW IT ENDS McCollom said there’s a big difference between sobriety and recovery.

“You can be sober and still be just as miserable as you always were,” he said. “I don’t know when it changed, but it did. Recovery is a journey, not a destination, and it just keeps getting better if you stay clean and do the right thing.

“You have to go through a lot of pain to get there.”

Recovery is positively moving forward every day and

improving yourself as much as possible, McCollom said. Once he was ready to accept recovery, education filled the void he once treated with drugs.

In that spirit, recovery leaders and their community partners are taking action against the rising rates of addiction and overdoses. Ten16, local law enforcement and local leaders are all part of the Isabella County Substance Abuse Coalition. The group meets regularly to host symposiums on heroin deaths, other issues involving addiction and its impact in the community.

The next meeting is at 9 a.m. on March 28 at Ten16, located at 2885 Health Parkway in Mount Pleasant.

In Lansing, State Rep. Roger Hauck, R-Mount Pleasant, serves on the Michigan Health and Human Services Committee. He has pledged to increase support for rehabilitation clinics and to improve access to recovery resources.

“The epidemic is that bad,” Hauck said. “There are lines to wait to get into a clinic because there aren’t enough resources. It’s a huge step for someone to admit they have a problem and they want to get help. So, when they can’t get it, what’s going to happen then?”

Rehabilitation services in the country are “a mess,” McCollom said. Besides the costs, which many health insurance plans don’t cover, many addicts have no idea what resources are avail-

DIABETES (26 million) able to them.

Steve Covieo, prevention counselor at Ten16, said recovery is about building community support.

“If a community cares for each other, they’re going to support each other no matter what, and it’s no different with addiction,” he said. “The greater support network a person has, the better chance they’ll have of succeeding in recovery.”

The coalition and its partners understand that battling addiction is an uphill battle and there a lot of failures on the road to recovery. McCollom’s dedication to that journey has helped him start a new life, with a wife and the hope of starting a family.

When he feels himself “losing control,” he looks down at the tattoo on his chest, and recites the Serenity Prayer — a litany for addicts and alcoholics looking for peace of mind.

It reads: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.”

“It embodies what we need to do, what we should do every day and every time we need to surrender something,” McCollom said. “Surrender isn’t about giving up, it’s about accepting the things you have no control over. It’s not a religious thing. It’s a mantra and philosophy that leads us to live a balanced life.”

THE FIRST MOUNT PLEASANT BARK FOR LIFE SEEKS PARTICIPANTS, VOLUNTEERS

Mackenzie Brockman | Freelance Photographer Students perform a piece from “The Vagina Monologues” on Feb. 24 in the Moore Hall Kiva.

The Vagina Monologues celebrates women, raises $740 for Women’s Aid Service

By Brianne Twiddy and Carly Williams News Editor and Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Michelle McElroy stood in front of a silent crowd in the Moore Hall Kiva and said that her short skirt is not an invitation, a provocation or an indication that she wants it or gives it.

It’s not a legal justification for rape — though it has been before.

The Prescott was one of 10 actors performing in “The Vagina Monologues,” a feminism-inspired show celebrating women while addressing heavier topics such as rape and sexual assault.

“My short skirt is my defiance. I will not let you make me afraid,” McElroy read. “My short skirt is not showing off. This is who I am before you made me cover it or tone it down.

Get used to it.”

“The Vagina Monologues” was put on by the Students Advocating Gender Equality on Feb. 23-25. More than $700 was raised in ticket and merchandise sales, 90 percent of which will be donated to the Women’s Aid Service in Mount Pleasant and 10 percent to One Billion Rising, a campaign to end violence against women.

Wixom junior Selena Nareski said she and other members of The Organization of Women Leaders attend “The Vagina Monologues” whenever it’s brought to campus.

She said the stories feel just as powerful as the first time she attended it.

“There’s a negative stereotype around women and their sexuality,” said Allen Park junior Madison Rodriguez, OWLs president. “In

this environment at (The Vagina Monologues), where everything is so out in the open, it’s very liberating. It makes everybody feel more comfortable, and breaks the stigma.”

The performance began with Jen Barnett, the director of the show, acknowledging the lack of inclusiveness in the show. The Grand Haven senior said the actors understand not all women have vaginas, and not all people with vaginas identify as women.

“Especially in the current political climate, this is such an important piece to put on,” Barnett said. “It provides a safe space for women to come and know others have gone through similar experiences and just to hear the word vagina. It’s important to open up that dialogue.”

The monologues were created from a combination of stories gathered by Eve Ensler, the creator of the show, after interviewing hundreds of women in 1996.

A benefit of “The Vagina Monologues” is that student actors are able to go on stage and “literally just say the word vagina,” Barnett said. The word, which she says is stigmatized, is regarded as clinical instead of beautiful — an outlook the performers want to change.

“These things are important to talk about because it’s a reality most women face,” Barnett said. “For me, feminism is important because I don’t ever want to be uncomfortable saying the word vagina. I’ll say it in classes and everyone will wince and I don’t know why. It’s something a lot of people have, and you should be able to talk about that without a taboo attached.”

Cancer affects our beloved canine companions too.

Lacey Johnson is looking for volunteers to help raise awareness and money for cancer research, while showcasing the role dogs play with the illness.

In association with Relay for Life, Bark for Life aims to “recognize what the canines give (to) people with cancer,” by recognizing the powerful impact pets have on survivors, Johnson said. She said it’s important to feature both the people and the pets who have struggled with the disease.

The Central Michigan University Communications Master’s student is the lead organizer for the event, which will take place from noon to 4 p.m. on April 14 at Hannah’s Bark Park in Mission Creek Park.

Johnson said this is the first Bark for Life hosted in Mount Pleasant. In the past, it tended to only reach larger cities.

“The event will begin with a walk on Mission Creek trails near Hannah’s Bark Park and afterward we’ll open the event up and have tables for different teams and vendors from the community who do onsite fundraisers,” Johnson said. “In addition to that, we will be planning entertainment and activities such as music and a doggie dress up contest.”

Johnson is looking for Bark for Life participants and volunteers who are willing to help set up logistics and finish planning the event.

Money raised will be added to CMU’s or Isabella County’s Relay for Life totals, she said. From there, the funds will contribute to

different programs that the American Cancer Society sponsors, such as Look Good, Feel Better, which helps women who have lost their hair during chemo therapy.

Those interested in participating can register a team online at RelayForLife.org.

Donations are accepted for anyone unable to participate.

Sophomore quarterback retires due to concussions

By Greg Wickliffe Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Jake Johnson’s football career has come to an end.

The sophomore quarterback announced Friday on his Instagram account he would no longer be able to play football due to frequent head injuries he has suffered.

“To whom it may concern. I’ve been wanting to post this for a while but honestly couldn’t find the courage to do so,” Johnson wrote in the post. “I have been told I can no longer play football for the rest of my life due the amount of concussions I have had. I had so many dreams and so many goals I wanted to accomplish on my journey and now I will never be able to.”

The risk of brain injury has lead players from college and the NFL to step away from the game.

The Dewitt native was redshirted his freshman season, but was the backup to Cooper Rush heading into 2016. He suffered a concussion when he was sacked late in the fourth quarter of Central Michigan’s season opener against Presbyterian on Sept. 1, 2016.

“This is honestly the hardest thing I have ever gone through in my life,” Johnson added

in the post.

The 6-foot-2 quarterback had a history of concussions before attending CMU. Johnson suffered a concussion in his high school team’s game on Sept. 26, 2014, which caused him to miss the final four games of the regular season.

He returned for the playoffs five weeks later,

but then suffered another concussion in the team’s district finals loss on Nov. 7, 2014.

Johnson was ranked No. 30 on the Detroit Free Press Fab 50 list. He led Dewitt to a Division 3 state championship in 2013 and was named to both the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press All-State teams.

He was a consensus 3-Star recruit in high school and was expected to compete with freshman Tony Poljan and Michigan transfer Shane Morris for the starting quarterback position in 2017.

Report: Offensive coordinator to leave for position at Cincinnati

By Greg Wickliffe Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Newly promoted offensive coordinator Gino Guidugli is departing to become the running backs coach at Cincinnati, according to Bearcats Sports Radio’s Twitter account.

Guidugli was promoted to offensive coordinator in late December after spending four seasons as Central Michigan’s running backs coach. He was set to replace former offensive coordinator Morris Watts, who had called the plays since 2011.

Guidugli played quarterback at Cincinnati from 2001 to 2004, leading the team to three bowl berths during his career. His departure comes just three

weeks after former running backs coach Nick Sheridan left for his alma mater Indiana on Feb. 3.

Guidugli is the fourth CMU coach to leave this offseason as wide receivers coach Mose

Rison retired in January.

The Chippewas are now without an offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and running backs coach.

The team’s Spring Game is scheduled for April 22.

Cuneo takes first in 400 at MAC Indoor Championships

By Jake Clark Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Sophomore Samantha Cuneo didn’t have a Mid-American Conference Championship in mind when the indoor track season began.

The Belmont native was the lone first-place finisher for the women’s track team, winning the 400-meter dash with a time of 55.02 at the MAC Indoor Championships on Saturday at Eastern Michigan.

Cuneo’s win gave the Central Michigan women’s team 10 points, which helped lead them to a seventh-place finish.

“I never expected to be a MAC champion going into the season, so today is a really good day,” Cuneo said after winning. “Being seeded higher is definitely an advantage. It gives you confidence and it’s intimidating for opponents.”

Cuneo wasn’t the only CMU athlete on their game at the meet. Seniors Dylan Banagis and Kylee Dobbelaere and freshman Logan Targgart all hit career-high marks in the weight throw.

Banagis and Targgart helped secure a fifth-place team finish for the men’s team with 51 points. Akron took home both the men’s and women’s titles.

Banagis finished second with a distance of 21.11 meters in the weight throw, while Targgart came in fourth with a distance of 18.94.

“It’s tough to lose, but it’s easier when you’ve thrown farther than you have in your entire life,” Banagis said. “(Kent State’s Reginald Jagers) took first (and) threw a (personal record) too, so it just comes down to who does better on any given day.”

Dobbelaere took fifth in the women’s weight throw with an 18.37.

“I put myself in a tough place with a slow start,” Dobbelaere said. “But the pressure put me in a place where I needed to set a personal record on the next throw.”

MEN’S TOP RESULTS Sophomore Kevin Weiler took third place in the shotput with 16.80 meters, while Logan Targgart finished fifth and set another personal best of 16.49.

“I (had a personal record) in both (shot put and weight throw), so I feel good about how I ended the season,” Targgart said. “I just want to keep improving on both every year and hopefully end up a MAC champ.”

Second-seeded sophomore Benjamin Hayes finished second in the men’s 400 with a time of 47.87, winning his heat by a hair.

After leading through 300 meters, junior Scott Cousino fell to third in the 800 with a time of 1:54.38. Just behind him was freshman Luke An-

derson, who finished seventh with a time of 1:55.58.

CMU’s distance medley relay squad of Anderson, sophomore Ben Yagiela and juniors Erick Huertas and Joseph Emmanuel took fourth with a 10:13.83 finish in the finals.

Senior Nicholas Malliaras gave the team four points with his fourth-place finish in the heptathlon with 4979 points. He finished first in the 60, sixth in high jump, seventh in pole vault, tenth in hurdles and fifth in long jump, shot put and the 1000.

An 8:29.32 finish in the men’s 3000 gave junior Joseph Emmanuel fifth place, along with two team points.

Two Chippewas put some team points on the board in the 5000, with seniors Silas DeKalita and Spencer Nousain finishing fifth and sixth in 15:00.83 and 15:02.26, respectively.

Sophomore Jake Peister took fifth in the triple jump with 14.77 meters.

Junior Lorenzo Wells finished the 200 in 22.22 seconds, which was good for sixth place.

With a high of 4.62 meters, freshman Isaac Sadzewicz took sixth place in the men’s pole vault.

Senior Casey Voisin sprinted down the stretch of the men’s mile to finish eighth in 4:20.56, just .04 seconds ahead of ninth.

WOMEN’S TOP RESULTS The team of juniors Megan O’Neil and Kyla Walton and seniors Michaela Bundy and Kelly Schubert

took third place in the women’s distance medley, earning six team points with an 11:44.77 finish.

Freshman Ja’la Taylor took seventh in the triple jump with 11.77 meters, only 13 centimeters short of a personal best.

After a strong start, senior Kelsey Ross faltered down the stretch of the 800, finishing fourth with 2:11.89, a half-second short of third.

With a top score of 3.82 meters, junior Rebekah Petty took seventh in the pole vault.

Coming just a centimeter short of placing, freshman Nadia Williams took ninth in the long jump with 5.86. This was one of three events in which she competed. Her 24.96 second finish in

the 200 placed her fifth.

Williams also competed in the 60, though she fell two places short of making the finals in the prelims on Friday.

CMU’s Mikaela Grant was the only freshman to place in the pentathlon, finishing seventh. She took third in shot put, third in long jump, fourth in high jump, ninth in hurdles, and 11th in the 800.

Five wrestling commits compete at MHSAA team finals

By Mitchell Vosburg Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

The future of Central Michigan wrestling was on display at McGuirk Arena during this weekend.

CMU commits Sean Sterling, Nick Jenkins, Nolan Saxton and Drew Marten all competed in the MHSAA team finals Friday and Saturday.

Commit Kameron Bush didn’t wrestle, but did qualify for the individual state finals along with the rest of the CMU commits.

Thirty-two teams competed during the event, with Detroit Catholic Central, Lowell, Richmond and Hudson taking home team titles in the four Divisions.

CMU head coach Tom Borrelli said he’s excited to bring in kids who want to compete for the Chippewas. All five of the athletes qualified for next week’s individual state finals.

“All of our recruits have a big upside,” he said.

“They didn’t start wrestling really early, they’re just starting to come on in high school. We’re real excited about the potential moving forward.”

Dundee wrestler Sean Sterling is arguably Borrelli’s most impressive recruit. Sterling is ranked No.1 in his weight class for Division 3 according to Michigan Grappler, which ranks high school wrestlers.

He entered this weekend with a 21-0 record. He qualified for next weekend’s individual state finals for the fourth straight season, looking to defend his title at 160 pounds.

Sterling picked up a second period pinfall in the semifinals Saturday against Chippewa Hills to put Dundee in the title match against Richmond.

He went on to get a third period pinfall, but Richmond would win the title on criteria.

Borrelli said Sterling brings special qualities to the CMU program. “(Sean) is tough, gritty, (with a) little bit of an attitude,” he said. “He’ll bring a little bit of attitude to the team.”

Another top commit for the Chippewas is Detroit Catholic Central wrestler Nick Jenkins.

Jenkins came into the weekend with a 38-1 record for top seeded DCC. He qualified for the individual state tournament for the fourth straight year, and will seek to repeat as state champion.

Jenkins is ranked No. 1 in the 285-pound weight class. He had three matches this weekend, the first two resulting in a first period pinfall. He won 3-1 in the finals against Davison, scoring a takedown with 27 seconds remaining in the third period to help lead the Shamrocks to a Division 1 State Championship.

Borrelli said he is excited for what Jenkins brings to the team.

“(Jenkins) weighs about 270 and moves around pretty good,” Borrelli said. “He will bring a work ethic to our room in the upper weights.”

Kameron Bush entered the weekend with a 34-1 record. He won his quarterfinal matchup via forfeit after Davison clinched the dual and did not want to risk injury.

Bush was coached by former CMU wrestler and two-time All-American, Bubba Gritter. “(Kameron) is a good kid (who) really wants to come to Central Michigan,” Borrelli said.

“We think he’s going to be a real dynamic athlete for us.”

Bush is ranked No. 1 in Division 1 in the 152-pound weight class on Michigan Grappler.

Chippewa Hills wrestler Nolan Saxton won’t have to travel far from his hometown for the next four years.

Saxton is the No. 1 wrestler in the state at 135 in Division 3. He compiled a 49-0 record coming into the weekend and qualified to compete in the individual state finals for a fourth consecutive season.

Saxton won his quarterfinal match via pinfall against Lake Odessa Lakewood. Saxton also scored a decision in his semifinal matchup against Dundee.

Borrelli said Saxton’s ability to put on weight helped him land with the Chippewas.

“I didn’t think (Saxton) would be big enough to wrestle at 103 pounds,” said Borrelli. “Now he’s wrestling 140. He’s improved a lot this year.”

Ariana Strzalka | Staff Photographer Dundee High School senior Sean Sterling celebrates his win during the MHSAA Stat Finals on Feb. 25 in McGuirk Arena.

Tecumseh wrestler Drew Marten was one of three seniors to compete for second year head coach A.J. Marry’s Indians.

Marten is the top ranked 130-pounder in Division 2. He won his quarterfinal matchup via a first period pinfall, but it wasn’t enough to avoid an early exit to reigning three-time state champion Lowell.

Borrelli said Marten will feel right at home in Mount Pleasant. “(Drew) has a real steady work ethic, a bluecollar type of kid” he said.

The Chippewas will lose four wrestlers to graduation this season. CMU will compete in the Mid-American Conference Tournament Saturday in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

A brain teaser classic PROBLEM: A man has to get a fox, a chicken, and a sack of corn across a river. He has a row boat, and it can only carry him and one other thing. If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn are left together, the chicken will eat the corn.

How does the man do it?

SOLUTION: The man and the chicken cross the river, (the fox and corn are safe together), he leaves the chicken on the other side and goes back across. The man then takes the fox across the river, and since he can’t leave the fox and the chicken together, he brings the chicken back. Again, since the chicken and corn can’t be left together, he leaves the chicken and the takes the corn across and leaves it with the fox. He then returns to pick up the chicken and heads across the river one last time.
