Headed Tua Miami Offensive coordinator Charlie Frye hired by Dolphins

By Christian Booher Sports Editor –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Central Michigan offensive coordinator Charlie Frye is leaving to become the quarterbacks coach of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins.

Yahoo! Sports’ Pete Thamel first reported Frye’s departure. The Dolphins officially announced the hire on Jan. 23 in a Twitter post.

Frye was the offensive coordinator at CMU for two seasons, coming to the program with head coach Jim McElwain prior to the 2019 season. With the Chippewas, Frye was the architect of the 2019 offense which averaged 435.2 yards per game, the best of any offense in the Mid-American Conference. The offense took a step back in 2020, struggling without an experienced quarterback.

Under the direction of Frye, the Chippewas boasted a potent rushing attack. In 2019, running backs Jonathan Ward and Americus, Georgia senior Kobe Lewis both ran for more than 1,000 yards. In a shortened, six-game 2020 season, CMU was able to get two running backs over 400 yards rushing.

Before coming to CMU, Frye was the wide receivers coach at Ashland. He worked with McElwain at Florida, where McElwain was the head coach and Frye serving as his consultant and director of player development from 2015-17. Prior to his time at Florida,

Frye was a quarterback coach at Nike’s The Opening combine and served as the offensive coordinator at a pair of Florida High Schools.

Frye is replacing Robby Brown, who was the Dolphins’ quarterback coach for one season. Miami’s offensive coordinator, Chan Gailey, resigned on Jan. 6.

Now, CMU must find someone who shares the high-flying, explosive vision McElwain has for his offense. The Chippewas retain a variety of offensive stars, with a pair of Muskegon wide receivers in junior Kalil Pimpleton and, potentially, senior JaCorey Sullivan thanks to the extra year of eligibility.

Lewis and Detroit sophomore running back Lew Nichols are also back, and the Chippewas have a solid addition at quarterback in Washington transfer Jacob Sirmon.

As the quarterbacks coach, Frye helped to revive the career of 2019 graduate transfer Quinten Dormady and allowed David Moore to show his skill set before he was suspended for testing positive for a banned substance.

The prized prospect, Daniel Richardson, was up and down in four starts before being injured at Eastern Michigan on Nov. 27. With the addition of Sirmon and two freshmen, the new QB coach will inherit a competition with plenty of options.

New SGA VP discusses new positions, roadmap for spring semester Saginaw senior Brandon McDonald speaks at SGA’s first meeting of the spring 2020 semester in the University Center Jan. 13, 2020.

File Photo | CM LIFE

By Ben Jodway Staff Reporter ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Saginaw senior Brandon McDonald ran against Katie Prebelich in 2019 for the opportunity to be Central Michigan University’s Student Government Association President. He lost, yet a year later he now serves as vice president alongside his former opponent.

Brett John Houle, the previous vice president of SGA, resigned in November after receiving a job opportunity from the university. As McDonald was serving as the Chief of Staff, Houle and Prebelich chose him to step up as the next vice president of SGA. “It’s very cool that (Katie and I) were opponents at one point and now we’re paired together,” McDonald said.

“Nothing was really weird from it…it felt like it clicked.”

McDonald said he wants to blend his original campaign goals with Prebelich’s. He hopes to focus on engagement projects like events and concerts, and plan them to adapt to COVID-19 health and safety guidelines.

“I do think that students are getting tired of all this virtual stuff happening,” McDonald said.

They are also looking at legislation this semester, he said. Notably, only one legislative item was voted on last semester, but more were being worked on within committees.

A “huge portion” of the semester will be concerning the SGA election, McDonald said. Both Prebelich and McDonald are seniors, so there will be a shift in administrations next year.

McDonald said they are going to focus on a “positive transition” from one administration to the next over a

four-week period. The newly elected members will basically shadow Prebelich and him to learn the ropes.

Before stepping up to fill Houle’s position, McDonald served as Chief of Staff and on the Academic Affairs Committee, where he helped create exam kits for students, he said. After he left the committee, the initiative continued during final exams in the Fall 2020 semester. This is his third year with SGA. Most representatives from RSOs come to SGA so they can receive Student Budget Allocation Committee (SBAC) funding, McDonald said.

This funding allows them to pay for conferences and events, but that’s been an issue because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

ecause of the face covering she wears in public, Hannah Gulick stands out in a crowd of masked people.

When out and about, Gulick wears a full-face, handmade reinterpretation of the masks plague doctors used during the Bubonic Plague.

The beaked mask is made of veg-tan leather and is equipped with metal hardware and rivets. The mask was also dyed black and red with red eyepieces.

Yes, sometimes the mask gets in the way because of the long beak. However, the Museum of Cultural and Natural History graduate assistant said the way she expresses herself and her style through the mask makes up for the inconvenience.

While the mask is not worn on the job, Gulick said it’s still one of her favorite and most comfortable masks.

“I like to be unique,” Gulick said. “I like letting my freak flag fly when I can.”

Central Michigan Life spoke with Gulick about her inspiration behind the mask and the encounters she has experienced with other people while wearing it.

Q&A

I belong to a group of leather workers on Facebook, and people started sharing this kind of plague doctor style mask. I thought it was super cool. Then, some people started sharing patterns. I just kind of found what I liked.

I like being unique and expressive in my crafting, so I figured that was the way to go about it.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO MAKE IT? I spread it out over three days because you have to let the dye sit before you start stitching it together and putting all the hardware in. My guess would be maybe 10 hours. It was the first time I had done one, so it probably took me longer since I had to pick up some different stitching techniques.

HAVE YOU MADE ANY FOR OTHER PEOPLE? Just my husband. He has another full-face mask. It’s just a different color with different colored hardware. He doesn’t have the red acrylic lenses like mine does.

HOW DO YOU CLEAN YOUR MASK? There’s not really a good way to clean it. I’ve looked it up. I think if I was really conscious about it what I would end up doing is wear a cloth mask and then I’d wear that one over it, but that’s probably a little excessive. Because it’s leather, it doesn’t really get dirty. If I wanted to, I could use saddle soap on it. I don’t wear it for extensive periods of time though, so I think that kind of helps maintain it.

IS THE MASK COMFORTABLE It’s my favorite one to wear. The buckles and the straps kind of sit on the back of your head, so nothing is pulling at the ears like the traditional cotton ones. There’s nothing sitting right on your nose either. Because of all the breathing holes, the lenses don’t fog up. There’s something comfortable about the fact that it’s not really touching my face.

DO YOU WEAR IT TO WORK? I usually wear the cotton ones to work. That’s more so because — this could have changed, I’m not sure — when I was an undergraduate at CMU there was a university policy that said you’re not allowed to wear full mask face coverings on campus. I just assume that it is still in place.

And because I work on campus, I don’t wear it to work.

WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR MASK TO SAY ABOUT YOU TO OTHER PEOPLE? I made it because I like expressing myself through my clothing and through the things that I wear. This is a really good way to express myself. I also do live action role-playing, and I have played dungeons and dragons. I have a closet full of costumes and props and things that I’ve made, so it’s this natural way for me to go with it.

For me, it’s like, “Look at this cool thing I made.” I get to wear it because we’re in the middle of a pandemic. It’s not quite as weird for me to go out in public with this on.

But also, stay away from me.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR MASK. It is a modern reinterpretation of a historical plague doctor mask.

During the Black Death and onsets of the bubonic plague, doctors who weren’t really doctors would walk around with these masks on. They were supposedly stuffing it with herbs or things to help block the smell of death, which is why the noses are so long.

They would also serve as protection. That style has been reinterpreted, obviously I don’t shove things in the big part of mine. And, it’s got some breathing holes on it, but that was the original inspiration.

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THIS IDEA?

WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE INTERACTION WITH SOMEONE ELSE WHILE WEARING YOUR MASK?

Hannah Gulick

Grad assistant stands out with unique, hand-made mask Addy Wachtner ■ Staff Reporter IS THIS YOUR ONLY MASK OR DO YOU HAVE BACKUPS? I have about 15 different masks. I have that one; I have one that just has a beak on the bottom half. I have another leather one that I made which I don’t wear as much because it’s not as comfortable. My mom makes masks for people, and whenever she gets a cool fabric, she’ll show it to me and I ask if she can make me one from that material. I have a bunch of different kinds that have all sorts of different fabrics and all sorts of different patterns on them that she’s made for me.

I remember being in probably Walmart and these two people thought it was really cool and they asked me about it. My husband and I were wearing the same style so you could tell that we were together because we had the masks on. I’ve had people ask me how I made it. I do enjoy talking about it because it’s not often I get to show off that weirdness part of me.

DO MOST PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF THE PLAGUE MASK? I don’t know. My assumption has been yes. They know what it’s supposed to be and what it represents but I don’t know for sure. I feel like the image is kind of iconic and has come up in pop culture. I’ve seen little plush toys that are coming out now that are little plague doctors, and so that image has kind of been circulating the internet since it’s all started.

DOES IT EVER HELP WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING? Yeah, I like to think that people give me a wide berth because they wonder what is going on with that person or why do they look like that. I had a plan and this plan does not come to fruition, but I do have a pattern for a wide brimmed hat to kind of go with the mask and then I’ve printed a symbol that goes with the plague doctor, an hourglass with wings,which represents how time is fleeting. That symbol is often on a staff or something that a doctor would wear. I have that, and I want to put it together. I already have a trench coat too.

CMUPD officer builds relationships with students through possible interactions Teresa Homsi

Staff Reporter

olicing became Joshua Chapman’s future of choice after a baseball career did not pan out the way he had dreamed.

While at the Baltimore Police Department, Chapman grew frustrated seeing fellow officers abuse their power, he said.

Negative interactions with police officers in the past encouraged Chapman to change the field from within and emulate the officers he looked up to.

Following his “if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem” mentality, Chapman went in search of an opportunity where he could bond with his community and have a positive impact.

Chapman started at the Central Michigan University Police Department in 2019. He became a community police officer in the fall of 2020, where his primary role is to break down barriers between students and police. “(Most) police officers are out there to genuinely help,” he said. “We come in during the worst part of your day, the worst part of your lives. (The police department is) something that you should trust, you should run to and you should (be able to) ask for help.”

Based in Kulhavi Hall, Chapman recently began hosting weekly video game tournaments and participates in challenges as part

of his student engagement efforts.

He said 10-12 students who attend the video game tournaments, where they compete against one another in Madden, NBA 2K, Wii Sports, Among Us and Mario Kart, among other games.

For Chapman, the tournaments are an opportunity to create a safe, respectful space with some friendly competition. “(I’m) trying to show students that they’re safe here,” Chapman said. “We’ve got good people here that want to interact with you, and not just have it be an officer (versus) civilian relationship.”

For students, the tournaments provide a space where they can socialize and take breaks from their studies.

Sterling Heights senior Daysia Parham said she goes to the tournaments semi-regularly when she’s not studying or working.

“I don’t even always play the game,” Parham said. “I think I played Wii Sports Tennis one time, and that’s because Chapman was talking about me, (challenging me to a game). But other than that, I really don’t play the games. I literally just hang out.”

Saginaw sophomore Lashaundra Galloway just transferred to CMU this fall amid COVID-19 restrictions.

A NEW SEMESTER,

A FRESH START Well, Chippewas, we’ve made it to another year and another semester.

While stressful, the beginning of a new semester is a fresh start and a chance to leave the previous four months in the rear-view mirror.

This spring will be another opportunity to take health and safety seriously while making the most of every moment. This is true whether it’s the beginning or end of an academic career.

It’s easy to be discouraged right now. We all wished for a fairytale ending to 2020 New Year’s Eve once the clock struck midnight.

However, over the last few weeks, we learned the division and fear that plagued us in 2020 will carry on, but so will we.

COVID-19 will continue to dominate conversations on campus. Going into last semester, there were questions of how to combat the virus, what steps to take and why on-site testing

EDITORIAL

wasn’t in place sooner.

The leadership team at Central Michigan University dedicated themselves to improving student safety on campus last semester.

Because of their dedication, there is a blueprint to succeed this spring. Our success will come down to how serious students, faculty and staff take safety precautions inside and outside the classroom.

Hope is mounting as vaccinations are being distributed to healthcare professionals and at-risk individuals. At this point, the safety guidelines are like a nursery rhyme replaying in our heads — wash your hands, wear a mask and social distance.

There is a lot to think about and consider right now as many of us return to campus.

Take things one day at a time. If you need help at any point this semester, CMU has resources for students.

Be safe. Be courteous. And Fire Up! Because of our reduced budget due to COVID-19 sales losses, Central Michigan Life is making changes this semester. We will be publishing fewer print editions. We will continue publishing content daily online. Make sure to follow us on social media and online at cm-life. com.

TIMEFRAME FOR VACCINE DELIVERY UNKNOWN

By Michael Livingston Associate Editor –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– With cases still on the rise and a new COVID-19 variant detected in Michigan, CMU officials want the campus community vaccinated, and fast.

In a Jan. 8 email to campus, President Bob Davies outlined the university’s efforts to make vaccinations accessible to anyone who wants them. He said CMU will administer vaccines while remaining within guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDDHS).

“During Phase 1, CMU may, from time to time, have the opportunity to receive a small number of vaccines from our local health care partners,” Davies said. “We may not receive much advance notification of vaccine availability, and we must be able to accept and administer them on a very tight timeline.”

Early vaccine distribution will be available to “individuals identified as essential for health, safety and continuity of operations.”

The FDA granted emergency use authorization to a COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech. A vaccine developed by Massachusetts-based biotechnology company Moderna was also approved. Since then, the vaccines have shipped to medical facilities across the country.

Many of the university’s frontline medical

CMU officials working to strengthen campus safety by administering vaccines

workers, including teams at CMU Health and third- and fourth-year medical students, have received their first dose of the vaccine, according to Davies’s email.

As part of the early Phase 1B distribution, the CMU Police Department staff also received the first dose of the vaccine in early January.

Lt. Michael Sienkiewicz said he estimates 85 percent of the staff received the first dose.

“We have greater confidence that we’ll be able to carry out our services to campus (without risk of exposure to our staff and families),” he said.

CMUPD expects to receive the second dose within the next four weeks.

Central Michigan District Health Department Officer Steve Hall said professors older than 65 years of age can register to get a vaccine. However, Hall said he predicts most other professors and university personnel will have to wait until May. Students enrolled in student-teaching or daycare programs will be considered K-12 educators and will receive their vaccine in the coming weeks.

Becoming a vaccine administration site Davies said CMU applied to be a designated vaccine administration site and expects news

about the application within the next month.

University Communications Director Heather Smith confirmed CMU sent its application to the MDHHS in early December. She said if approved, CMU will be able to receive vaccines from MDHHS or vendors and administer them to the campus community.

“This is critical to ensure we can administer vaccines as soon as possible after receiving the approvals we need. Becoming a vaccination site is a critical step in the effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 on CMU’s campus, which will in turn positively affect the Mount Pleasant area and beyond,” Smith said.

The university plans on keeping detailed information on students and staff who get vaccinated at CMU or other venues, the type of vaccine they received, schedules for the second dosage, and more. However, Smith said it has been difficult to gauge a precise number because community members in the early phases are able to sign up directly with the health department. Faculty and staff also have the opportunity to get the vaccine in their county of residence.

As of Jan. 26, CMU is still waiting for its application to be reviewed and approved. Smith expects the university to hear back from MDHHS in February.

VACCINE GUIDELINES MDHHS adopted CDC recommendations which means vaccines will begin being distributed in phases.

PHASE 1A, 1B n Healthcare personnel and residents of long-term care facilities with direct or indirect exposure to patients or infectious materials. n Essential workers like firefighters, police officers, food and agricultural workers, United States Postal Service workers, manufacturing workers, grocery store workers, public transit workers and teachers n People 75 years old or older PHASE 1C n People between 65 and 74 years old n People between 16 and 64 years old with underlying medical conditions that increase the risk of serious, life-threatening complications from COVID-19. n Other essential workers, such as people who work in transportation and logistics, food service, housing construction and finance, information technology, communications, energy, law, media, public safety and public health.

PHASE 2 n People 16 years old and older.

LIFE IN BRIEF

CAMPUS HABITAT SHOOTER SENTENCED

By Teresa Homsi Staff Reporter ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Miykael Norfleat was sentenced Jan. 27 in Isabella County Trial Court to a minimum of 31 years in prison for the April 2020 murder of Raven Tre-Von Edelen at his residence in Campus Habitat apartments.

Norfleat, 22, of Chicago, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, armed robbery and assault with a weapon. He originally was charged with 11 different charges including open murder to felony firearms. He also will pay $2,900 in restitution and $198 in court fees.

Norfleat’s defense attorney Daniel O’Neil explained that Norfleat was recruited last-minute for the botched burglary. He also stressed that Norfleat had no prior criminal record.

The prosecutor and defense both agreed that Norfleat had no intent to kill or harm Edelen before arriving at

the apartment.

In his statement to the court, Norfleat apologized to Edelen’s family and asked for forgiveness.

Prosecutor David Barberi brought forward several family members and friends of the deceased to give their impact statements.

Each expressed how special Edelene was to them and how he would “brighten up a room.” They all showed little sympathy for Norfleat’s circumstances, arguing that he has shown no real remorse for what he did.

Edelene’s mother said she had nothing to say to Norfleat, but was grateful to the court and detectives for their work.

Two other men charged in Edelen’s death, Anthony Smiles and Jesse Hilton, will appear in court for preliminary exams at 9 a.m. on Feb. 8.

Drew Travis | Staff Photographer Students perform the wave in cheering for their friend, who was beating Officer Chapman Jan. 21 in Kulhavi hall.

GAMING | CONTINUED FROM 6

She started attending the tournaments to meet new people, and eventually, to flex her Mario Kart skills as the undefeated champion of Kulhavi game nights.

“I didn’t go at first because they were playing basketball, but then I told Officer Chapman, I was really good at Mario Kart, and he said he had that game,” Galloway said.

Unbeknownst to her competition, Galloway used to compete in international Mario Kart tournaments against professional gamers. Galloway said after defeating everyone at Mario Kart, she started attending the tournaments regularly.

Flint sophomore Tyson Berry was the most recent champion of the Jan. 21 game night, winning the NBA 2K tournament. He said he came into the game with high expectations of winning, in spite of choosing the “worst team in the NBA.” “Chapman told me that I better stop talking all that big talk,” Berry said, “So, I took Sacramento. Their whole stack is overall D plus - shooting D plus, passing D plus. (Chapman) had OU, which I think is C- type of team, but it doesn’t matter. I got here with my skills.”

Although it’s been challenging navigating COVID-19, Chapman said he feels like he’s

been able to break down some barriers. “(I’ve had students say to me), ‘we’ve never talked to a cop before unless it was on bad terms, but once we started doing these video games and gave you a shot,’” he said. “(Students have said), that ‘there’s nothing different about you, and you treat us like people not as suspects or criminals.’”

For students who might have reservations interacting with Chapman or other CMUPD officers, Parham recommends “taking a chance.”

“I have no shadow of a doubt that (Chapman) would protect every person at this school with his life without hesitation, but nobody would know that if they didn’t take that chance and step into his office,” Parham said.

Chapman said it’s difficult to gauge how effective his engagement efforts have been, but students keep coming to his office and game nights.

“They don’t have to come to talk to me, come in and see how my family is doing, how my day is going,” Chapman said. “They don’t have to come and talk to me about their life and schooling or how hard it is to do virtual learning. They don’t have to do that - but they do.”
