Native American culture to be celebrated at annual pow wow

By Sarah Wolpoff News Editor news@cm-life.com

This weekend, the Native American Program’s office is hosting its 28th annual “Celebrating Life” pow wow to build cultural unity between the tribal community and student attendees.

Pow wows are hosted frequently throughout the year by different tribes and universities across North America. The Central Michigan University Pow wow will take place from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on March 18 and 19 in McGuirk Arena. Doors open to the public at 11 a.m. and festivities begin at 1 p.m. Saturday and noon Sunday. It is intended for different tribes to gather and share their traditions with each other and with people who are interested in learning about Native American culture.

The annual pow wow at CMU will feature dance and drum competitions with prizes of up to $4,000.

Usually more than 2,000 spectators attend to watch about 250 performers and visit food and merchan-

dise vendors from tribes across the country.

Entry is $10 for adults and $7 for children. CMU students can attend the pow wow for free with their student I.D. Hannahville junior Hannah Bartol, chair of the pow wow committee, said most of the 12 Michigan tribes will be represented. There will also be tribes from Canada and various states across the country.

In past years, people from tribes in Oklahoma, New York, Wisconsin and many other states have attended, Bartol said.

“Pow wows are a really good way for natives to gather and connect with each other,” said Alexis Syrette, a student committee member from Mishawaka, Indiana, who’s helping organize the festivities.

Pow wows are different everywhere, and Syrette said CMU hosts one of the best university pow wows, especially in Michigan.

“We’re scattered all over the country,” Syrette said.

“Having a pow wow is (an environment) to meet, build relationships and share cultures and tribal traditions with other people too, since not everyone

is from the same tribe.”

Bartol said tribes come together at pow wows to share their different languages, practices and variations in ceremonies.

“At CMU, it’s important (to host the pow wow) because it brings cultural awareness to the students who come,” Bartol said. “It allows the Native American community on campus to show their culture and say ‘hey, this is who we are. It’s not the stereotypical things you hear.’”

Syrette said Grand Entries are the opening cer-

LittleCaesarsQTR01262017.indd 1

emonies of pow wow events. Veterans will carry flags and eagle staffs as all the dancers make an entrance.

On Saturday, there are two Grand Entries at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Bartol said daytime hours will feature competitions for the younger participants. At night, after the 7 p.m. Grand Entry, the adult competitions will begin.

She said the adult competitions are impressive because the performers are experienced and will be dressed in full regalia.

University, city police offer St. Patrick’s Day safety tips

By Ben Agosta Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Lt. Jeff Browne of the Mount Pleasant Police and Lt. Cameron Wassman of the Central Michigan University Police Department said safety and responsibility are important concerns for students during St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

“We realize it’s a day of festivities and fun, (but) we want people to remember there is more to that as well,” Browne said. “Safety is the No. 1 concern.”

Browne said students should not bring valuable possessions with them if they are partaking in the festivities and should only bring what is necessary.

“People lose a wide variety of things when they’re out sometimes,” Browne said. “The other thing is, if you’re going to attend an event, be aware of your surroundings. Try and avoid the large crowds and know where you are at.”

Individuals at an event should stay with the group they came with, Browne said. If students plan to drink, they should have a designated driver or use a taxi.

Wassman said students should not drink in excess and those under 21 years old should not have open intoxicants on them.

The university police officer said Friday is not the day for students to “test the waters,” adding police presence will be signifi-

cantly increased on and off campus.

Browne said students should remember the nuisance party ordinance and know that no person, at any age, can have open intoxicants on public property.

The city officer also said students should eat well Friday morning and stay hydrated throughout the day if they plan to drink.

“I guess the big thing, don’t overindulge,” he said. “Be responsible when you drink. You can have one alcoholic drink and maybe one water.”

Browne said people are allowed to drink on their lawns but aren’t allowed to consume alcohol on city property or public places, such as sidewalks.

Wassman said if students witness criminal activity, they should report it to the CMUPD so everyone can stay safe during the holiday.

“We want people to follow the rules, be respectful, and if somebody is in need of assistance, give them the help that they need,” Wassman said.

ADDRESSING THE CMU administrators announce more serious budget concerns with layoffs, base-budget cuts planned

By Evan Sasiela News Editor news@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University administrators announced this week the 2017-18 fiscal year is likely to produce a $6 million budget deficit.

That is in addition to the $14 million deficit the university is grappling with this fiscal year.

That means cuts to programs, project delays and employee layoffs.

President George Ross, his cabinet and the university’s financial team are reviewing plans submitted by se-

nior leaders — a group that includes department directors and deans — across campus to address next year’s budget woes.

“Budget reductions are grueling,” Ross said in a university press release. “A deficit this large is certain to include layoffs, and each of the 60-some members of our senior leadership team feels the pressure of what that means to our campus community.”

Now, university departments and union leaders are working to figure out which employees and services will be affected.

Students voice concern after university statement on budget deficit

DEFICIT

“There’s a level of frustration here,” said Jamie Cotter, a member of the office professional staff and the president of the group’s UAW Local #6888 worker’s union. “Could we have foreseen this? Could we have planned ahead? My members are worried and I’m worried about whether their positions will be cut.

There’s a real level of anxiety (here).”

CMU’s overall operating budget is

news@cm-life.com

“The building we’re in, the Biosciences Building seems like it was completely, well not completely unnecessary, but slightly unnecessary. I feel like they’re not cutting back on fancy things. I was in marching band last semester. It’s not super important to the school, but a lot of people are in it and love it.”

said in the press release that basebudget cuts are coming in order to help fix that deficit.

“We’ve reached the point where we cannot scramble each year to make up the difference,” Wilkes said.

Base-budget cuts are defined as recurring costs or anything that is expected to occur every year, Garrison said. Those recurring costs include salaries, benefits, supplies and

“That’s just more loans I’m going to have to take out on my own (if tuition is raised). So many students here have to pay for all their college on their own, which is hard enough as it is. The more loans you have to take out the longer you’re going to be in debt and (that) just brings you down in the long run.”

By Emma Dale Staff Reporter

As the estimate of the university’s budget deficit continues to grow, students at Central Michigan University are becoming concerned for the future of CMU. Central Michigan Life spoke to students around campus to hear their thoughts regarding the deficit. Students shared their biggest fears about potentially cut programs and how an increase to tuition will affect them.

Alyssa McDaniel, White Lake freshman:

more than $492 million. Two funds make up the total operating budget, the general fund and non-general fund. The current recurring base expenditure budget, or university general fund, is less than $396 million.

Joe Garrison, director of Financial Planning and Budgets, said the budget shortfall is in the general fund.

Barrie Wilkes, vice president for Finance and Administrative Services,

Jordan Zampa, Hartland freshman

“(The deficit) seems like a lot. I don’t know why we have so much, (but) it seems like we have been doing a lot of projects on the outside, like all the buildings. Then there are the two giant signs that say Central Michigan University on either side of campus. There were signs there before and they just made them bigger. It seems like a really silly thing to do.”

Ashley Green, Harbor Springs senior

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | MAR. 16, 2017 equipment. When revenues don’t match the expenditure base, that is when the university projects a fiscal shortfall.

“We need to make sure we’re either generating enough revenue to cover those base expenditures or we need to actually respond accordingly and make some basebudget cuts so that our future revenue will be enough to cover our future current expenditures after those cuts,” Garrison said.

The university’s press release states the layoff notice process will begin in early May. The Board of Trustees will approve 2017-18’s fiscal year budget at its June meeting.

The release states $9.2 million in the service centers and $4.8 million in individual colleges will be covered in part by one-time funds.

Garrison said there are four areas where one-time funds can come from: vacant positions/savings, delaying expenditures, salary savings and base-budget cuts.

Vacancies include unfilled positions or holding fewer course selections, Garrison said. Delayed expenditure savings could come from savings on equipment

expenses. Strategic reserves are funds that roll over from yearto-year to be used for a one-time purpose.

“With the budget model, the college keeps a certain portion of revenue to cover their expenses,” Garrison said. “They work internally to manage their own colleges. For the service centers, all of those funds were dispersed out. We’re actually going to pull back in the entire amount of those one-time cuts. We will realize that full amount ($9.2 million) in the service centers.”

THE ROAD AHEAD Provost Michael Gealt said looking at priorities for student success will be a priority in the budget planning process.

“We’ve worked to identify and protect what’s essential for student success and programs that fuel growth, achieve national recognition or bring in external funding,” Gealt said in the release. “This is about proactively shaping CMU’s future in response to population changes and career growth areas.”

Wilkes and his team plan to

refine the current budget projection, which will include emerging factors like changes in enrollment numbers and state appropriations.

Ross said student recruitment efforts, scholarships and financial aid would be excluded from the reductions. The exclusion also includes debt service — or obligation payments toward borrowed funds from previous capital projects — and utility budgets.

Construction projects for the summer, which includes renovation and space maximization efforts in Ronan, Warriner, Brooks and Foust halls and on the fourth floor of the Charles V. Park Library, have been put on hold.

Campus identity and signage work is also on hold.

At the CMU Board of Trustees’ formal meeting last month, Ross announced the budget shortfall was estimated at $14 million, which was an increase from the estimated $10.6 million announced during the fall 2016 semester. The budget deficit was initially projected at $9.8 million.

While the number has grown larger than expected, university

officials were aware of potential fluctuations and the difficult financial challenge ahead. Wilkes and others held a budget forum in October to discuss university’s situation, saying even then that final numbers were yet to be calculated.

Before last month’s Board of Trustees meeting, CMU sold its Flint public broadcasting station through an FCC auction for $14 million. Garrison said CMU may not see that money until the auction is over, which could be years.

In his testimony to the Michigan House Appropriations Committee earlier this month, Ross said layoffs are likely and the university was in the midst of course-correcting. He urged the committee to increase higher education funding for students.

Campus departments are planning to make budget cuts for the 2017-18 fiscal year. Ian Davison, dean of the College of Science and Engineering, said last month the college will offer fewer course selections to counteract the deficit as opposed to making cuts within the department.

City considers new medical marijuana possibilities

By Greg Horner News Editor news@cm-life.com

Citing economic growth opportunities and the ability to regulate a budding industry, city officials are researching new options for regulating the manufacturing, distribution and delivery of medical marijuana.

The Mount Pleasant city and planning commissions met for a special meeting prior to the City Commission’s regular meeting Monday to deliberate on how the city should handle new laws regulating marijuana facilities.

In December 2016, Gov. Rick Snyder signed a series of bills clarifying the types of medical marijuana facilities allowed under Michigan law. The “Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act” will create a licensing program for medical marijuana similar to how

the state regulates alcohol.

Grand Rapids Attorney Nicholas Curcio gave a presentation to members of the city and planning commissions about the impact of the new laws.

The new act allows municipalities to adopt ordinances allowing for five categories of medical marijuana production and growing facilities. The city can apply to opt in starting Dec. 15.

The city can choose to allow: • Growing facilities that would cultivate and process marijuana for sale. The city could authorize three designations including Class A, which would allow cultivation of up to 1,500 plants, Class B, which would allow cultivation of up to 1,000 plants and Class C, which would allow cultivation of up to 500 plants • Processors that create “infused products” such as edibles • Dispensaries that would buy

marijuana from growers and supply the product to patients • Transportation services that would take marijuana to authorized facilities • Facilities to monitor cannabis for contaminants and other substances The commission could require a fee of up to $5,000 for each facility, require indoor growing and provide resources to prevent theft. The city also could export the cannabis to other areas in the state “This sounds like one big mess,” Planning Commissioner William Daley said. “Why would we want to get in this – isn’t this bigger than us?”

There’s good reason for Mount Pleasant to opt in, said Commissioner Tony Kulick – a citizens initiative could force the commission to adopt policies with no input. In 2014, an amendment to a city ordinance was approved

by voters that decriminalized the possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.

The commission agreed to create a task force to research the changes in state law.

Commissioner Lori Gillis said opting in could provide economic benefits to increase the city’s tax base and bring employment to the area. Gillis said she believes marijuana provides medical benefits and is safer than many prescription drugs.

“I always look at it as literally a weed – it is an herbal supplement,” Gillis said. “I think our municipality should look at this with open eyes, being that we have state legislation that made medical marijuana legal. We also have city residents that voted to make (possession of) a small portion of recreational marijuana legal.”

Lt. Jeff Browne of the Mount Pleasant Police Department said

police have not considered potential procedures due to the lack of information at the time.

“We simply don’t know,” he said.

“The commission could approve all of the facilities, some of them or none of them. It’s our job to enforce the ordinances set forth by the commission, but until then we can’t comment.”

Daley said the city should proceed carefully.

“This seems like such a quagmire of rules and regulations,” he said. “I caution us not to go in too much and too quickly.”

PUBLIC COMMENT Several residents spoke in favor of opting in to the new rules.

Mount Pleasant Attorney Todd Levitt encouraged commissioners to allow for multiple dispensaries and acknowledge them as “reputable, compassionate businesses.”

He said the state would impose

regulations on the dispensaries and only people with a medical marijuana cards would be able to purchase from the facilities.

“You don’t have to worry about 10,000 Central Michigan students flocking to the stores on Welcome Weekend,” Levitt said.

County Commissioner Jim Horton, a licensed pharmacist, said he was concerned about losing funding by going against federal law.

Horton said he believes marijuana has “certain effects” that could aid nausea in chemotherapy patients and has shown positive effects for people with multiple sclerosis.

“One of the things I’m concerned wit when looking at a drug is can you control it?” he said. “(We have to) get specific types and strains and make it pure. Let’s not have ‘Jim’s Blend No. 1’ or ‘Tom’s Blend No. 3’ and claim that (each one) helps with multiple sclerosis.”

First CMED graduating class to get residency assignments

By Samantha Shriber Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

The Central Michigan University College of Medicine is graduating its first class of 64 students, which means for the first time, medical students from CMU will participate in Match Day. Match Day will take place at noon March 17 at CMED’s Saginaw facility. Match Day is a nationwide event and occurs every year on the third Friday of March, in which medical school graduates from across the country will find out where they’ll perform their residencies.

“This is (a really big) milestone,” said Steve Vance, the college’s associate dean of academic

LIFE IN BRIEF

and Clinical Technology.

After graduating, medical students are expected to move on to residency training in their desired field of medicine, Vance said. Graduates don’t know where they’re headed until they open their envelopes.

Students submitted a ranked list of preferred locations, and hospitals develop a ranked list of preferred students. Vance is optimistic graduates will have a successful experience with their matches.

He hopes the future residents will continue their studies in the state.

“We are hoping to get our students into programs in Michigan,” Vance said. “If we do that successfully, the data will show that those who are educated in Michigan and do their residency (here) are very likely to stay (in the state).”

When Deric Learman graduated from Central Michigan University with a bachelor’s degree in 2003, he felt enriched in the education he received.

The department was small and his geology classes were intimate. Learman appreciated that it gave him the opportunity to build close relationships with faculty who inspired him to travel to places such as Big Bend, Texas, for research.

Inspired by his early academic career at CMU, Learman returned as a faculty member after receiving his doctorate from Harvard University in 2011.

The biology department was hiring faculty to do research with the Institute for Great Lakes Research. Though he said he wanted to be involved with environmental research focusing on clean water, he also wanted to work with the students at his alma mater.

Many academic departments across the university have faculty who have returned to CMU — teaching students who fill the seats they once sat in. Whether it be the personal relationships established with mentors or cherished memories of their undergraduate years, many of these

faculty members return because they can relate closely to fellow Chippewas. They utilize having the perspective of both sides of the classroom.

“I feel really fortunate to be back here teaching,” said Elizabeth Bradshaw, a sociology professor who graduated from CMU in 2006. “I can empathize and understand where students are coming from.”

Bradshaw takes this connection to heart and now advises three registered student organizations on campus — Justice Society, Student Environmental Alliance and Take Back the Tap. “Your perspective changes and you see different things,” Learman said about both studying and teaching in Mount Pleasant. “It is like looking through glasses with different colored shades. You once saw sporting events and now you see parks.”

When Stacey Pattison was a theater student at CMU, her mentor, Jill Taft-Kaufman, left a lasting impression. Pattison said Taft was caring and brilliant, which made her work hard in class and caused her to fall in love with poetry.

Pattison completed her undergraduate at CMU in 1995 and graduated with her master’s degree in 2012. Now she teaches dramatic arts courses at the university and uses poetry techniques and practices in class that she learned from her mentor as a student.

“I try to do with the students that I have now what was done with me,” she said. “I think I can relate well with my students and build a comfortable relationship with them.”

Because her experience as a student showed how they can grow and work harder when they have a relationship with their professor, Pattison works to create a comfortable atmosphere in her class. She strives to provide motivation and help to reduce her student’s performance-related anxieties.

Like Learman and Pattison, Bradshaw also found mentorship during undergrad. She said it was Brian Smith, who is now an internship coordinator at CMU, that convinced her to go to graduate school.

Coming back to CMU, Bradshaw enjoyed working with the faculty who were teaching her just a few years ago. There was “no hierarchy” when she came back, Bradshaw said. Her old professors treated her like an equal.

Faculty members who return to CMU often do so because they respect the university after their experiences as an undergrad. While Learman traveled across the country to do research, Pattison was involved with on-campus theater and Bradshaw performed in a rock band.

As a theater student, Pattison said she worked

so closely with her peers that they practically became family. She performed in at least two plays per semester.

During college, Bradshaw was supporting herself and frequently returned home to work.

“I missed out on what the campus actually had to offer,” Bradshaw said. “(So) it’s actually kind of nice to be back here as a faculty member.”

Although she feels she did not get the “full campus experience,” Bradshaw said the activities she did while attending CMU stuck with her.

“I play drums in a rock band. I did then, and I still do,” she said. “I used to tell my parents I was going to be a rock star.”

Bradshaw and her boyfriend started their band, “The Free Life,” in high school and continued developing it throughout college.

Though some members in the band have changed, Bradshaw and her boyfriend are still together and frequently play music.

When Pattison received a call from her former department chair offering her a teaching job once a position was available, she accepted immediately. She said she was thrilled to return to CMU, back to her roots where her family was and work in community that already felt like home.

MICHIGAN TOBACCO CONSULTANT TO SPEAK ON RAISING TOBACCO SALE AGE A speaker will make the case that the age of tobacco sales should be increased to 21 years old.

Elaine Lyon will speak at 7 p.m. March 27 in the College of Medicine auditorium.

Lyon is the Public Health Consultant of the Tobacco Section for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

“Ending the Tobacco Epidemic: Tobacco 21 as a Promising Strategy to Protect Michigan’s Youth” will touch on the Tobacco 21 movement,

which aims to raise the age of tobacco sales.

The event is being sponsored by community health organization Eta Sigma Gamma.

Jodi Brookins-Fisher, Community Health professor and division director, worked with the organization to bring Lyon to CMU. “Kids aren’t getting their cigarettes from 21-year-olds, they are getting them from their 18 year-old siblings,” Fisher said.

Fisher said Lyon was chosen to speak because of her public

health background. She added that it would offer an interesting way for students to engage in professional development in the College of Health Professions.

The event is a part of the Elizabeth Lockwood Wheeler Lecture Series.

Success starts at the top File Photo | Mary Lewandowski Head women’s basketball coach Sue Guevara talks to the team in a huddle during a time out on Jan. 4 at McGuirk Arena.

Under Guevara’s leadership, women’s hoops program embodies ‘championship culture’

C

entral Michigan University’s women’s basketball team fell short of its goal to make the NCAA Tournament this season. But the 10-year head coach Sue Guevara has turned the program into the embodiment of “championship culture.”

The Chippewas lost to Western Michigan in the quarterfinals of the Mid-American Conference Tournament on March 8. Nevertheless, Guevara and her squad deserve recognition for their accomplishments this season and the success the program has seen in recent years.

CMU finished 23-8 in 2016-2017 to notch the program’s seventh 20-win season during the past eight years. Guevara has a career record of 198-149 at CMU. Under her leadership, the program has won three MAC West Division championships and made the NCAA Tournament once. It has produced a MAC Player of the Year Award winner in Crystal Bradford, who was then drafted in the first round of the WNBA Draft and a MAC Freshman of

the Year Award winner.

Guevara was named MAC Coach of the Year for turning a 13-8 team in 2014-2015 into a 22-11 team in 2015-2016.

She gets the most out of her players on and off the court.

In addition to athletic goals, Guevara’s teams set the bar high in their classwork as well. The team recorded a 3.1 combined grade point average in the Fall 2015 semester. Each member of her coaching staff closely mentors three to four players and meets with them for academic purposes once a week.

“I tell our players, if you don’t go to class, if you’re late for class — we get class reports — they know they’re not coming to practice,” Guevara said in a February 2016 interview. “They know taking care of their academics is very, very important.”

EDITORIAL

The team also participates in philanthropic events, like leading a collection drive to send bottled water to Flint last year at the height of the city’s water crisis. When senior Jasmine Harris came to her with the idea for the drive, Sue empowered Harris and the team to follow through until the water was delivered.

That is because the program is led from the top down. It all starts with Sue’s leadership.

She has an impressive resume for a coach who is paid a base salary that is $96,000-less than her male counterpart, men’s basketball head coach Keno Davis.

But that’s a different editorial.

This editorial is about the progress of a coach who grabs the microphone after every home game — win or lose — and personally thanks the crowd at McGuirk Arena for supporting her players.

We think Sue is a one-of-a-kind person and one of our university’s best ambassadors. She is striving to create a real championship culture at CMU. Although the team did not reach its ultimate goal

this season of dancing in March, Sue and her players wanted to keep playing and accepted an invitation to the Women’s National Invitational Tournament.

The team tips off against Wright State at 7 p.m.

Thursday at the Nutter Center in Fairborn, Ohio.

As Guevara put it, “our season isn’t over.”

A win against the Raiders would give the Chippewas their first postseason victory in program history. A WNIT championship would be a profound accomplishment for a mid-major like CMU. For Sue, there are still lessons to teach and progress for her players to make — maybe early preparations for next season.

And that’s what winning is about.

That passion for the game, teaching it and striving to be the best at it, embodies the championship culture that former Athletics Director Dave Heeke preached about — despite not always winning the trophy.

Keep up the good work, Sue. Keep up the good work, players.

It does not go unnoticed.

EDITOR

Food allergies must be taken more seriously on campuses TO THE EDITOR: A few weeks ago, the parents of a former Central Michigan University student with a severe peanut allergy spoke out about an incident that allegedly took place in the fall.

The student had a near-fatal reaction after another student allegedly smeared peanut butter on his face at an off-campus location.

This incident highlights the need for more awareness of food allergies on college campuses.

Last fall, a study was presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Conference, which found that most colleges do not have plans in place to support students with life-threatening food allergies outside the dining hall.

In other words, coaches, professors and peers don’t have the information they need to help safeguard students against exposure to allergens.

That leaves students vulnerable.

As a faculty member and the parent

of a child with food allergies, I know information and education is needed.

Since my son is only five years old, I carry his EpiPen, read all of his food labels before he eats anything, plan ahead for social events involving food and communicate with his teachers. But college is a time of transition when young people become responsible for managing their allergies without mom and dad.

That puts the burden on young adults with food allergies to communicate with other students, staff and faculty. Teenagers and young adults with food allergies are at the highest risk for life-threatening reactions.

What do you need to know about food allergies?

Eight different types of food account for the majority of food reactions: peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish. The number of Americans with food allergies is on the rise. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-

vention in 2013, food allergies among children increased approximately 50 percent between 1997 and 2011.

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America reports that 1 in 13 children has food allergies, and 1 in 50 Americans is at risk for anaphylaxis — a severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening. Every three minutes, a food-based allergic reaction sends someone to the hospital, and more than 300,000 children under the age 18 are sent to emergency rooms each year for food allergies.

In another sobering statistic, Food Allergy Research and Education, reports that one-third of children with food allergies report being bullied because of their medical condition and allergies.

Even if you are not affected by food allergies, you likely know someone who is. You may meet people when you host or attend social events, wait tables at restaurants, coach youth sports or go into

the teaching profession. Even a small amount of cross-contamination can be life-threatening for people with food allergies.

Women’s basketball heads to Wright State for WNIT

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

It’s not the tournament head coach Sue Guevara and her team wanted to be in — but they’re happy to still be playing.

The Central Michigan women’s basketball team has had a week to regroup from a 67-63 loss to Western Michigan in the Mid-American Conference Tournament quarterfinals on March 8.

The Chippewas (23-8, 15-3 MAC) were bounced from the tournament after entering as the No. 1 seed and MAC regular season champions.

Despite the loss, CMU received an automatic bid to the Women’s National Invitation Tournament and will face Wright State of the Horizon League in round one at 7 p.m. March 16 in Fairborn, Ohio.

“I’ve been pleased with practice (this week).

I think we’ve gotten after it pretty well,” Guevara said. “The disappointment (from the loss) — if it’s there, it’s not lingering. It’s time to move on. It’s a new season again and you can’t

to Detroit Mercy 71-52 in quarterfinals of its conference tournament.

Guevara said she had a few different scenarios in her mind on where her team would end up before the WNIT bracket was released Monday night, but decided not to waste energy thinking about where and who the Chippewas would be playing.

Once she found out it would be the Raiders, Guevara began scouting the team Tuesday morning and noticed a few similarities between them and a few MAC opponents CMU has faced.

“They remind me a lot of Ohio, Eastern Michigan and Northern Illinois — all three of them combined,” Guevara said. “They’re athletic and they really drive the ball hard. They get up in your face and they’re physical, so it’s going to be a matter of keeping them off the glass and defending penetration.”

Central Michigan is one of the top teams in the MAC in rebounding, led by sophomore forward Reyna Frost who leads the conference with 11.1 rebounds per game.

Frost may be the best rounder in the MAC, but she will face two players who also get after it on the glass.

Wright State’s junior forward Lexi Smith leads the nation in offensive rebounds with 179. Her teammate, sophomore forward Symone Simmons, is third in the Horizon League averaging 9.2 rebounds per game.

The Raiders’ offense is led by junior guard Chelsea Welch who averages 18.7 points per game, which ranks first in the conference.

This is CMU’s third WNIT game in the

past four seasons. The Chippewas are 0-7 in program history in postseason games outside of the MAC Tournament.

The Chippewas lost to Indiana UniversityPurdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), 63-55 in the first round of last season’s WNIT and also fell to the Jaguars in the first round of the 2014 WNIT. “At this point, it’s refreshing that you get to keep playing,” Guevara said. “The message is the same that it’s been all year: We need to be better the next time we go out.”

Senior forward Jewel Cotton was on both teams that faced IUPUI in the past and said it will be nice to go up against a different squad.

“It’s like a breath of fresh air even though we’re going to Ohio again,” she said. “We’re going to a new university, so we’re trying to stay positive and look at all the great things that are happening for this team.”

Cotton said a win against the Raiders would not only lift the stigma of being winless in postseason play, but also add momentum for next year’s squad.

“It’ll add on to the legacy that we’ve already built here with team 49,” Cotton said. “It’ll be a stepping stone for team 50 next season. They’ll know it’s been done before and they can do it, but next year it’ll be dancing time.

“We’ll take care of (the WNIT) this year, and they’ll take care of the NCAA (next year).”

The winner of Thursday’s matchup will play the winner of Michigan and Kent State in the second round. The second round will be March 18-21. Follow @CMLifeSports on Twitter for live coverage.

Keene: ‘I haven’t made a decision yet’

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

Marcus Keene has not declared for the 2017 NBA Draft — at least not yet.

The Central Michigan junior guard posted to his Instagram account on Wednesday he has not made a decision whether he would declare for the draft or return for his senior year.

The Associated Press reported Tuesday the Central Michigan redshirt junior guard was declaring for the draft — foregoing his final year of eligibility.

In the AP’s report, the person who released the information did so on the condition of anonymity because CMU had yet to make an announcement.

However, the CMU Athletics Department said it was unaware of Keene’s expected departure and no announcement was scheduled.

Keene went to social media to clear the air.

“I want to thank everyone for the well wishes but I haven’t made a decision as of yet,” Keene wrote in his Instagram post. “I will be visiting my parents in April and we will discuss all my options and then an announcement will be made on my future.”

Keene transferred to CMU last season from Youngstown State where he sat out the 2015-16 season because of NCAA transfer rules.

In his first season on the court for the Chippewas, Keene led the nation in scoring, averaging 30 points per game.

The San Antonio, Texas native, finished the season with seven 40-point games and a 50-point performance against Miami (OH) on Jan. 21.

The 5-foot-9 star broke the CMU and MidAmerican Conference records for points in

a single season with 959. He was selected to the All-MAC First Team and was runner-up for MAC Player of the Year to Akron’s Isaiah Johnson.

Following CMU’s 116-106 loss to Kent State in the first round of the MAC Tournament on March 6, CMU head coach Keno Davis hinted Keene would be taking his talents to the next level.

“We’re not going to be able to replace the scoring of (Braylon) Rayson and Keene, and our team is going to look a lot different next year,” Davis said after the game. “That doesn’t mean we can’t look better, but we’re going to look different. At times, we are going to miss the scoring output of those guys and they were definitely electric to watch.”

The NBA Combine, which is an invitationonly event where players are scouted and receive feedback on their draft stock, will be held May 9-14. On-court evaluations will be May 11 and 12.

During the combine, players are evaluated

by NBA scouts and are given advice on where they will be drafted, or if they should return to college.

Players who declare for the NBA draft and don’t sign with an agent have 10 days after the combine to remove their name from draft consideration and return to school. This means Keene could still return for his senior season if he decides his draft stock isn’t high enough.

According to a report from hustlebelt.com, Keene is unlikely to be drafted.

In the report, the website spoke with NBA Draft analyst Matt Harvey, who writes for NBADraft.net. Harvey said Keene will have a better chance of making a summer league or Development League roster due to the amount of top point guards entering the draft and his

small stature.

“We project nine point guards (to be drafted) and he’s not projected to be drafted by us,” Harvey said. “Another reason, he is very undersized.

Do I think he’s going to get drafted? No. Should he definitely get consideration to be on a summer

league team or D-League team? Absolutely. No doubt about it.”

The NBA draft will be held June 22. The location of the draft has not been released.

Heeke discusses decision to leave for Arizona

By McKenzie Sanderson Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Leading the Central Michigan University Athletics Department for the past 11 years has been a “true honor” for outgoing Athletics Director Dave Heeke.

The university announced Heeke’s exit from CMU on Feb. 25. As he looks ahead to his next chapter at the University of Arizona — which recruited him to be its new director of athletics — Central Michigan Life spoke with the man who strived to build a “championship culture” at CMU to reflect on his career and the future of his department.

CM LIFE: Why did you take the position in Arizona?

HEEKE: It was a tremendous opportunity to go to a major conference program that has a lot of challenges there that align with my skills. I wasn’t looking to leave (CMU) at all. A big part of my heart and soul will always be here.

I’m from Michigan, my three sons grew up here (and) we’re connected to the community in a deep way, so it was a big decision for us.

What are some opportunities you see at Arizona and how do you plan to tackle them?

They’re anxious to look at some significant facility improvement. That’s something through my career (at CMU) and previously when I was at the University of Oregon that I was really involved in. Enhancement of infrastructure and facilities is critical to all of higher education. Those are the laboratories for our students and it’s important that we invest in those.

(Arizona) is on a growth curve. They want to make an impact in the PAC 12 conference and be at the very top. It’s an exciting challenge to formulate a strategy and a vision on how we can get there.

What will you be doing here at CMU until your first day at Arizona (April 1)?

I’m trying to wrap things up here and make a good transition for Marcy Weston who will be serving as interim director. I want to get as many things as I can in place for her so she can be successful before a fulltime director is hired. I want to make sure everything is in order and in a good place as our winter sports are finishing up the seasons. We’re already in the budget planning for next year, so there are a lot of pieces that are out there that I’ll keep moving along for the next couple of weeks.

Do you feel like you’re leaving the athletics pro-

gram in a good position?

With the collective efforts of the (staff), it’s been a really good 11 years. We constantly are trying to build and grow. We want to have programs of integrity and built around student athletes and their experiences. We’ve been able to build the brand significantly at a national level. We’ve had a lot of success in sports and in the classroom. This wasn’t a broken program when I arrived, and it was my responsibility to maintain and grow it.

I feel really good about what we’ve been able to accomplish, and it isn’t because of me. Our success comes from a strong administration here that’s committed to students.

What were some goals you had coming into CMU? Do you feel like you’ve accomplished them?

The broad goal at that time was to enhance and increase fundraising, to continue the success we’ve had in competition and address some facility needs.

We primarily wanted to improve our old basketball facility for the whole university and make an events center that we could have concerts, graduation and all kinds of activities in there, including sporting events.

What were some of the challenges you’ve faced during your time here?

I think the biggest thing here and at the level we compete in the Mid-American Conference is a resource challenge. We need to ask how we’re able to provide programs for not only for our student athletes, but also for the entire university and our alumni to be proud of. We have to be very good stewards of the resources we have and we have to figure out how to use those the best without short-changing the experience.

How do you recommend schools in smaller conferences like the MAC prioritize their assets while complying with NCAA Division 1 standards?

You have to step back and have a clear understanding of what your goal is. For (CMU Athletics), it’s for the best interest of our student athletes. We don’t want to invest in resources that don’t help us on game day, or on Monday morning when students are going to class. The good thing about this program is that we’ve been able to be broad-based and have success across the board.

With all the staff changes happening lately, is searching for replacements a normal occurrence for the athletics department?

Definitely. People in these programs are wellknown. They’ve been trained well, they’ve had great experiences and they prove themselves. Doing that (at CMU) is a natural way for some other places to

go “hey, they do a good job at Central Michigan, which doesn’t have a whole lot. Let’s pull that person over here.” It’s like anyone else in their careers able to move themselves up the career ladder. We have to be creative in how to be ready to replace people and bring in quality people to fill those gaps.

What does “championship culture” mean to you?

Excellence in everything we do all the time. That’s athletically, academically, personal development of our student athletes and in how we conduct ourselves so that people can be proud of our program. We’re a culture of excellence in everything we do. We may not win a national or conference championship every year, but we want to strive to be that great.

Don’t let anything get in the way of you and the Big Game.

The 2017 NCAA Wrestling Championships will feature nine Central Michigan wrestlers this weekend — the second most in school history.

For head coach Tom Borelli, it’s a step in the right direction for the program.

“We’re getting the right kids in here that want to do well in the national tournament,” Borelli said.

“They want to represent the school the right way.”

After coming off a 9-3 regular season and a third-place finish in the MAC, Borrelli is happy with how the season has unfolded so far.

“We had a few slipups,” Borelli said. “I don’t think in any competition we have been out classed. That will bode well for us in nationals.”

Junior Brent Fleetwood will face the top seed in the 125-pounds weight class Thomas Gilman.

Senior Corey Keener (133) will matchup with the six seeded Dom Forys from Pittsburgh. Freshman Mason Smith (141) will face the five seed Anthony Ashnault from Rutgers.

Sophomore Justin Oliver is the only returning All-American from last season. He draws the nine seed and will face Eric Barone in the first round. His goal for this year is simple.

“I want to be a national champion,” Oliver said. “Worst case scenario in my mind (is) I’ll become an All-American.”

Coming off a 29-7 record and a second-place finish in the MAC tournament junior Colin Heffernan is ready for the national tournament

along with the rest of the team. He drew the 11 seed at 157 pounds and will face Taleb Rahmani of Pittsburgh.

Heffernan believes that all nine wrestlers are on the same page.

“We want to be as high as we can as a team,” Heffernan said. “Top five, bringing home a trophy. I think we all have the same expectations.

We all have goals of being national champion or All American. If we have nine guys (who) are doing that, we can win the tournament.”

Juniors CJ Brucki (174) and Jordan Ellingwood (184) each drew 16 seeds. Brucki will face Connor Bass from Duke while Ellingwood will face CJ Lafragola of Brown.

Senior Austin Severn (197) will face Steban Cervantes from Navy. Junior Newton Smerchek (HWT) will face 16 seeded Garrett Ryan from Columbia.

If Severn and Smerchek get first round-wins they will both face the top seeds in their weight class. Severn would see Missouri’s J’den Cox, who won bronze in the 2016 Olympics, owns a 9-1 major decision over Severn this season.

Smerchek could potentially see Kyle Snyder of Ohio State, the top-seeded heavyweight and reigning gold medalist.

Borrelli expects the nine individuals to compete hard and represent themselves and CMU the right way.

“If they do that they will be very successful,” Borelli said.

The 2017 NCAA Wrestling National Championships are March 16-18 and can be seen on ESPN or the WatchESPN app.
