NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

MOUNT PLEASANT TO REWARD THREE MEDICAL MARIJUANA BUSINESS LICENSES Mount Pleasant has 57 potential medical marijuana retailers that want to open in Mount Pleasant, but only three will recieve licenses. Over 22 prospective marijuana business owners filed applications medical marijuana for provisioning centers, also called dispensaries. The city set a Feb.1 deadline for accepting these applications. The city’s ordinance only allows three licenses for provisioning centers. Mount Pleasant City Planner Jacob Kain said these types of businesses deal with the retail, specifically. To decide who gets the licenses, the city will be holding a lottery on Feb. 13. Many of these business entities filed multiple times for different locations around Mount Pleasant to have better chances of getting approved, said Mayor Will Joseph. Joseph said that the small amount of applications being accepted led to more being turned in. “If we hadn’t done a limit, we would

have probably gotten less applications,” Joseph said. “They know as long as they got everything in and met the standards, they wouldn’t be in the situation where they would have to increase the amount of chance of being chosen.” The three businesses that are chosen will move forward in the process to get a license, Kain said. This is a continuation of a long application process every prospective medical marijuana business owner goes through, starting with a background check. The background check is conducted by the State of Michigan and looks at things like an applicant’s criminal record and finances, Kain said. “I’m assuming these (background checks) are on par with an FBI applicant,” Kain said. “It’s a thorough process and it’s more than a normal background check.” -Andrew Mullin, Staff Reporter

YEAGLEY TO RETIRE AFTER A DECADE SERVING AS CMUPD POLICE CHIEF Central Michigan University Chief of Police William Yeagley will retire his badge this summer after a decade of serving the campus community. Yeagley has served as CMUPD chief of police since 2009 and will retire effective July 31. “It has been a privilege to serve this outstanding institution for the past 10 years,” Yeagley said in a University Communications press release. “Being a university police chief means holding the safety of every student, faculty and staff member, and visitor in your hands.” Yeagley has served in law enforcement for 41 years. He previously served as director of public safety for the city of Mount Pleasant Police Department and spent a year as deputy sheriff for the Clare County Sheriff Department. A critical factor in finding Yeagley’s successor will be the understanding that policing a university campus is unique, said Barrie Wilkes, associate vice president for finance and administrative services.

“Challenges in a higher education environment are different than typical law enforcement,” Wilkes said. “To be effective, you need to be able to build relationships with administrators, students, faculty and staff across campus. You also need to be able to communicate effectively — earlier and more often WILLIAM than you would in other YEAGLEY environments.” Jonathan Webb, associate vice president for facilities management, will lead the search committee for CMU’s next police chief. The 9-member committee consists of CMU faculty, administrators and a CMUPD officer. The position will be posted Feb. 10. -Melissa Frick, Staff Reporter

take care of yourself this winter Learn ways to help yourself fight seasonal depression We’ve all felt it. It’s cold outside. We leave an afternoon class, it’s barely 6 p.m. It’s already dark out. Going outside feels sometimes dreadful in the winter. It’s cold, it’s colorless and depressing. What you might be feeling is effects of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a subtype of depression that occurs during winter when the days are shorter and there is less sunlight. About 5 percent of people who live in Michigan experience SAD every year, according to Central Michigan University psychiatrist James Hillard. People who experience SAD are likely to have depressive symptoms such as insomnia, lack of appetite, lack of energy and general disinterest in what is happening around them. “A lot of people get what we call subsyndromal seasonal mood changes,” Hillard told Central Michigan Life. “The range of SAD can be from a very

EDITORIAL mild case to something that is very severe. Most of the severe cases of SAD, however, have been with people who have experienced depressive episodes in the past.” Experiencing SAD might affect your daily mood and motivation to go to class, enjoying times with friends and striving toward your goals. The fall semester gives students some warm weather and sunlight and continuous opportunities to be outside. There’s Welcome Weekend, football and tailgate season and many campus activities occurring outside until the fun of the holidays arrives. This is not the same case when it comes to winter. If you’re experiencing this, there are ways to feel better.

While there’s less sunlight in the winter, we still get those overly sunny days. Make sure to take advantage of those. Go outside and go for a walk. Play in the snow with your friends. If it isn’t too cold, go for a run. Hillard recommends exercising regularly to help with the effects of SAD. Another option is light therapy with a light box. According to mayoclinic.org, a light therapy box impersonates the light that you be getting from outside. “Researchers believe this type of light causes a chemical change in the brain that lifts your mood and eases other symptoms of SAD,” the website states. Take care of yourself this winter season, Chippewas and know there are ways to help if you’re experiencing any symptoms of SAD. Those suffering from SAD or any depressive disorder, can contact the CMU Psychiatry Clinic at 989-774-6599 or the CMU Counseling Center at 989-774-3381 to set up an appointment.

Sharing tales from Middle East Three-part art exhibition embodies experiences and stories of war refugees By Rachel Thomas Special to Central Michigan Life

or the first six minutes of her performance, Biba Sheikh did not speak. She backed up against a wall in Central Michigan University’s Art Gallery, leaving her audience in silent anticipation. Sheikh closed her eyes, breathed deeply and touched the artwork around her. She shed her own identity. Opening her eyes, Sheikh craned her neck up, looking at her environment. She walked in slow motion and stretched out her hands. Her movements transitioned from fluid turns to rigid steps. The audience sat either on chairs or the floor, their gaze rarely breaking from Sheikh. The gallery was quiet, aside from Sheikh’s light footsteps, occasional shuffling of bodies, and the sound of a camera’s shutter going off. “You are so poor,” were Sheikh’s first words. She walked toward the center of the gallery. Her voice sounded ghostly and heartbroken. Sheikh repeated those words, her voice getting louder. “There is no support!” Sheikh’s voice rang. She spun around as if the world was slipping under her feet. Multiple times she stumbled to the ground then got back up. She made her way back to her original corner, her voice choked as she repeated those words. She was no longer Biba Sheikh. She was a Syrian refugee, telling stories of life in the refugee camps and orphanages of Greece and Lebanon. For more than 40 minutes, she was the transmitter for survivors of abusive relationships and human trafficking. Those fleeing their homes in Syria to avoid being

captured by ISIS. Groups of 80 people in inflatable boats made for eight, paying large sums of money for traffickers to secretly lead them from Turkey to Greece. Only to arrive to a country that could only provide so much while suffering from their own economic collapse. Their stories became the script of the production, “Mitli Mitlak,” performed during the “Mitli Mitlak - Like you, Like me.” exhibit reception at the University Art Gallery on Thursday, Jan. 17. While leading storytelling and theater workshops at the Syrian Solidarity House, a refugee camp in Greece, Sheikh collaborated with individuals to create poetic texts that turned into “Mitli Mitlak.” The production was co-directed by Sheikh and Haitham Khatib, a Syrian refugee, actress and shadow theater specialist. “A lot of them don’t have voices at all from the traumas of being abandoned,” Sheikh said. “During the workshops they recreated what happened to them and were able to express what they wanted. The only way to counter the horrific nightmares they saw in war and on the journey is by making beautiful memories. We help them find their voices again.” The performance is only a third of the exhibition. The exhibit features over 70 pieces including paintings, mixed media, photographs and digital images by 13 contemporary international Islamic artists from 11 Mediterranean countries. Many of the artists are currently living in refugee camps or occupied territories. The artwork was created in response to Sheikh’s writings

and the artists’s own experiences - “a peaceful way of resisting,” as Sheikh puts it. This is illustrated in “Daily Images of Chaotic Events,” a series of 12-by-16-inch photographs of the Egyptian Revolution. The photographs were captured on a cell phone by Ahmed Nagy of Egypt. “Flower of Freedom (Separated From Every Garden)”, is a series of acrylic on canvas paintings by May Murad of Palestine. The character in the paintings, Ruba, experiences feelings of disorientation, confinement and uncertainty after ending her marriage plans. The exhibit further enlightens its audience through “Citizen Xenos,” a documentary about refugees arriving in Greece. It was created by Greek visual artist and film director Lucas Paleocrassas. Starting in 2015 alongside his current producer, former refugee volunteer Valia Charalampidou, the two spent a year conducting interviews for the film. They interacted with refugees, politicians, medical professionals and United Nations representatives. During this time Paleocrassas met Sheikh at the Syrian Solidarity House and he filmed parts of her workshops. Sheikh began researching various artists and foundations for her exhibition in 2015. Initially, the focus of the project was a theater production with a complementary exhibit of general Middle Eastern and Mediterranean art. After deciding to make the visual art the focus, she realized many of her chosen artists were refugees.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | FEB. 7, 2019 “I did a research on the prisons, the military, weapons, distributors and refugees,” Sheikh said. “There are so many things that I learned about war and peace, how society functions and what happens to human beings in these extreme circumstances.” The exhibit made its debut at the N’Namdi Center for Contemporary Arts in Detroit last September; CMU is the second place to host. Sheikh contacted Anne Gochenour, director of the University Art Gallery a year ago. With 30 years of experience in curating art exhibitions across the country, Gochenour’s aims to expose students to art they may have never seen before. “The idea of having Middle Eastern and Islamic artists showing, I haven’t seen much of it,” Gochenour said. “It’s a very rich show of visual art, and very different to have a performance piece with the visual arts. [“Citizen Xenos”] is very powerful. The people that come are really engaged and I can’t ask for more than that. I think people are really moved by the work.” Biba’s own life experiences as a dancer, writer and director are a testament to the time put into curating “Mitli Mitlak Like You, Like Me.” Born and raised in Michigan, Sheikh has dedicated much of her life to healing the world through dance, poetry and other forms of expression. At age 19 she studied mime at the International School of Mime and Drama under the instruction of French mime artist Marcel Marceau. She continued her theater studies in Greece, Italy and Germany in the years prior to and after the end of the Cold War in Berlin in 1989 and the Lebanon Civil War in 1990. Inspired by these historic events, Sheikh has since led workshops and courses in vocal and drama therapy, sonic expression and theater in Lebanon and Spain. In Spain in 2011, Sheikh transformed a workshop into the theater production, “Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters,” focusing on therapeutic acts and rituals toward the healing of families. The following year, also in Spain, she produced and directed

Alanna Sparks | Staff Photographer Art pieces are organized for display Jan. 29 in the University Art Gallery.

“Exodos,” depicting the Kurdish exodus through Flamenco singing and theater scenes. As a professionally trained Flamenco dancer, Sheikh incorporates the dance form into her work. “Mitli Mitlak - Like you, Like me.” is scheduled for presentations in Wisconsin and Indiana, as well as overseas in Iceland and Lebanon between now and mid-2020. Dates for exhibitions in Greece are in the works for 2021. This exhibition is the launch for Sheikh’s LLC, Mediterranean Fire, an organization providing refugee youths with educational and creative train-

ing. Sheikh hopes to turn Mediterranean Fire into a foundation. As this exhibition grows, Sheikh aims to bring in more artists from Jordan, Italy and Spain. But most importantly, Sheikh wants to continue providing accurate representation of Arab culture. “Like many cultures the Arab culture is viewed from Western glasses. These glasses should be taken off to see [Arab culture] as it is,” Sheikh said. “I hope [the exhibit] expands [people’s] horizons. I like to create projects that people really remember for their whole life.”

FROM RECYCLE BIN TO RECOVERY

Cody Scanlan | Photo Editor

Director of the Isabella County Material Recovery facility Jake Borton walks from a bail of raw material on Jan. 14 at the Isabella County Material Recovery Facility.

Here’s how the Mount Pleasant community and Isabella County reuse and recycle By Andrew Mullin Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Tucked away at a location on the north edge of Mount Pleasant, a facility recycles thousands of tons of material every year. In Mount Pleasant or on Central Michigan University’s campus, most recycled material ends up at the Isabella County Material Recovery Facility (MRF), 4208 E. River Road. The facility recycles glass, metals, paper, cardboard and other materials. Facility director Jake Borton said the site is an unusually large operation for a county the size of Isabella County. It processed about 6,200 tons of material during its last fiscal year. It continues to see large increases in the material it receives year after year.

While the facility provides a service the community is increasingly interested in using, it struggles to cover its costs. The facility made $1.12 million in revenue during fiscal year 2018, but it had $1.16 million in expenditures. Borton said factors in the struggle to make a profit include labor cost, maintaining the baler and a decrease in commodity prices. “We are continually trying to make up the difference (of costs),” he said. The System At the facility, workers use a “duel-stream” system to sort and process material. That means material is separated before it reaches the facility. CMU Director of Facilities Operations Jay Kahn said the duel-stream

process divides material into two classes: fibers (paper and cardboard) and commingle (plastic, glass and metal). This is why all CMU recycling bins have two separate containers dividing things like paper and cardboard from plastic and glass. The facility uses this process because it’s cheap, Borton said. A singlestream system – where all recyclable materials are combined into one truck or pile – is also not as clean and requires more expensive equipment to operate. “The quality of the product coming out of a duel-stream facility is superior than what it (would) be coming out of a single-stream facility,” Borton said.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | FEB. 7, 2019

Cody Scanlan | Photo Editor Workers separate waste items Jan. 14 at the Isabella County Materials Recovery Facility.

The Process After collecting materials from the county, fibers and commingled products are dumped into separate piles. Before the materials can be sorted into more specific categories, workers must remove what’s called residual material — stuff that cannot be recycled or sold. The most common type of residual material they find in the facility are filmy plastic products like plastic bags. It wouldn’t make sense to sell them, because the facility would be required to allocate storage space, Borton said. “It is something that can be (sold) but it’s not conducive for this sized facility,” Borton said. Once the residual is removed, workers can begin organizing the materials. Fiber is carried up a conveyor belt where it’s sorted between cardboard, office paper and newspaper. Across from the fiber operation are the commingled products. Here, different types of plastics, glass and metals are sorted through by workers and machinery. As they are carried up the line, an electromagnet pulls up all the tin. Eventually, plastic material reaches workers, who fling empty plastic containers into designated cages. Borton said it’s important to keep different kinds of plastic separate because certain plastics are worth more than others. If they are mixed together, they can’t make as much money. Once the facility has enough material, it is sent through the baler. This piece of equipment condenses a large amount of material into a large rectangular mass. It is tied together with metal cables. Bales are stored in a warehouse, where they are sold and picked up. Borton said the MRF sells fiber products to brokers, who will sell directly to paper and cardboard mills.

CMU Recycling CMU has a stripped-down operation on campus. Kahn said everything in the recycling baskets and maroon recycling tanks around campus will be sent to the county MRF. This represents two-thirds of all fibers the university recycles each year. The remaining fiber material is sent to the on-campus powerhouse, where it’s baled and sold by the university. Kahn said printing services sends around 110 tons of fiber every year to the powerhouse and the bales make the university $8,000-10,000 per year. The university prevents 40 percent of waste out of landfills, Kahn said. In comparison to the rest of the state, Kahn said the average diversion rate in Michigan is 15 percent. Some people on campus have other concerns with recycling at CMU. Holt junior Cloe Knop is the SGA representative of the Student Environmental Alliance and has some issues with recycling education at CMU. She thinks the university and student body could do more to be educated about what can and cannot be recycled, even if they wish something could be recycled. She wants people to know that mixed and dirty materials are not able to be recycled, like coffee cups for instance. While they are made of material that are recyclable, she said since the cup has residual foam on it, it cannot be recycled. “People should think about what they are putting into a recycle bin,” Knop said. “There’s a lot of aspirational recyclers and I used to be one of them too. (I thought) ‘I would love if for this to be recycled, so I’m going try and recycle it.’ “Contamination is a big issue. If people recycle, I would encourage them to get informed.”

THE LIVERPOOL EXPERIENCE BRINGS 1964 CENTRAL MICHIGAN INTERNATIONAL FILM VIBE TO BROADWAY THEATRE FESTIVAL TO TAKE PLACE FEB. 13-17 The Liverpool Experience, a cover band which mirrors The Beatles, will be playing at 6 p.m. Saturday Feb. 9 at the Broadway Theatre. The band will be celebrating the 55th anniversary of The Beatles’ 1964 performance on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” This is a fundraising event to benefit the Broadway Theatre, located at 216 E Broadway St. in downtown Mount Pleasant. It has been open since 1929 and still hosts classic films, musical acts and local theatre productions. The “Friends of Broadway” program is dedicated to preserving the historic space and providing a venue for community affairs. According to the band’s Facebook page, The Liverpool Experience performs “timeless Beatles hits along with lesser known fan favorites.”

Michael Livingston | Staff Reporter The Liverpool Experience, a Beatles cover band, will be performing at the Broadway Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 9.

While the band uses authentic Beatles gear and equipment and even wears the famous Beatles shoes, they are not a look-a-like tribute. Rather, the band focuses on capturing the sound, energy and history of The Beatles. The Crusin’ Chef Food Truck will be selling concessions at the venue between 4-8 p.m. The

menu will feature items such as cheeseburgers, pulled pork sandwiches, nachos and corndogs. Attendees can order their tickets in advance for $10 by visiting the Friends of Broadway website or buy them at the door the night of the show. -Michael Livingston, Staff Reporter

CMU DEFENSIVE END DANNA VISITS MICHIGAN AS POTENTIAL TRANSFER The pipeline of Michigan football players transferring to Central Michigan has been aplenty over the past few years. However, it just got intriguing, as a player from the Chippewas is currently considering a transfer to play for the Wolverines. CMU defensive end Mike Danna officially visited Michigan from Feb. 1-3. Danna, on Jan. 26, put his name in the NCAA transfer portal. Since Danna is graduating at the end of the semester, he will be eligible to leave CMU as a graduate transfer and granted immediate eligibility. When a player enters their name into the NCAA’s new portal, it allows other programs to contact them. With the new model, players no longer need to request permission from their current programs to check out other programs. However, entering the portal does not mean a player is guaranteed to transfer. It just gives them an option to look elsewhere. Danna, a 6-foot-2, 257-pound star, made 65 tackles, 14 tackles for a loss, 8.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and two touchdowns for the Chippewas in 2018. He was a member of the All-Mid-American Conference First Team defense. Those to transfer from Michigan to CMU in recent history includes quarterback Shane Morris, defensive end Deron Irving-Bey, offensive tackle Ja’Raymond Hall and kicker Ryan Tice. CMU also nabbed former Michigan wide

THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

PUT YOUR LOVE INTO WORDS!

Valentine’s Personals Cody Scanlan | Photo Editor A fan cheers on the CMU Women’s Basketball Team on Feb. 2 in McGuirk Arena.

Basketball teams are winning, show both the same respect It doesn’t really matter how you view sports, there is always one word that outweighs every reason you could make for your team to earn respect. Winning. Quite frankly, that is for a good reason. Leaving victorious is the object at hand with every game. In life, you want to succeed. At your job, you want to be the best. In sports, you guessed it — you want to win. So, with that being said, I’m left wondering why I’m still seeing and hearing things being said about the men’s or women’s basketball teams deserving more respect than the other one. The CMU women’s basketball team is leading the Mid-American Conference West Division with a 6-2 record in league play but is only one game ahead of Toledo. The men’s unit is in second place of the same division at 5-4, just one game behind the 6-3 Rockets. Both teams are in an intense race where every night it seems like any team in the conference can beat anyone. For example, in men’s basketball, the MAC East Division-leading Bowling Green Falcons (7-1 MAC) lost to Miami (Ohio), which boats a 4-5 conference resume. In women’s basketball, the RedHawks downed the Chippewas 70-67 at McGuirk Arena and just two games later fell to Toledo. Coming into the season, women’s basketball was picked to win the MAC West by the conference officials and men’s basketball was picked to finish dead last. Halfway through the conference season, both are toward the top. “I think there was a lot unknown about this team coming into this year,” said men’s basketball head coach Keno Davis. “With a lot of new players people didn’t know, the word had to get out. I think now we have proved ourselves that we can be not just competitive but win our fair share of games.” Yes, in recent memory the women’s basketball

team has accomplished more than the men’s team by making the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 and winning back-to-back regular season MAC West Division titles. Again, winning changes the representation of a program. However, just like life, sports also move to the next term. Right now, it is the 2018-19 campaign and both teams are doing more winning than losing. As a fan, why wouldn’t you support both the same way? Sure, Sue Guevara has built up a standard for the women’s team. I respect those accomplishments, trust me. But, half of the players on the men’s basketball team just transferred in before this season and haven’t had a chance to leave marks in the record book. I’ve been able to watch both of these teams play more than 10 games in person this year. I’ve seen them win games they were supposed to win and drop contests they probably shouldn’t have. Regardless, when the stands have more people in them, both teams have fed off it and played better than when the crowd is weak. Forget the past and focus on this season. For students and fans, you are lucky enough to have both teams playing at the top of its division right now. Embrace that and show both teams your full support. You’d be surprised how much a full stadium can help when the games get meaningful and the calendar flips to March.

How the Hildebrandt’s passion for wrestling led to success cess as they continued into high school. From the start, Chris made it clear this had to be his kids’ goal. Every day he would drive them to weight-lifting at 6 a.m. but refused to wake them up. “They would almost always be up and shake me awake to take them, then Nancy would pick them up,” Chris said. All of the kids would wrestle in the living room and have endless carpet burns, it was what they did for fun. Drew, however, struggled to find that fun at first but never quit. “He wouldn’t win at first, but he would never give up,” Chris said. “Then he started learning the technicalities of the sport and he excelled. For Drew and Sarah, you could really see their drive. You could see they were going to be successful right off the bat.” Chris has recently noticed a newfound confidence in Drew – something Sarah achieved while attending King University from 2013 to 2015.

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

Drew Hildebrandt has made his name known throughout the Central Michigan wrestling program. The sophomore has put together a 52-33 record for the Chippewas. Drew won the 2016 Indiana state championship, was named a threetime USA Wrestling High School All-American and a three-time First Team Northern Indiana Conference honoree. But his first opponent wasn’t typical. It was his sister. Sarah Hildebrandt has also wrestled her whole life and ascended to a spot on Team USA. Drew and Sarah were bred into a wrestling family with siblings Cory and Amy. This is the story of the Hildebrandt’s wrestling legacy. Undefeated against the boys At first, her parents did not want Sarah to wrestle. However, the school wrote them a letter and they were convinced to let Sarah compete. Not only did she avoid getting pinned, but she won and did not even know that she did. Sarah was not like most athletes in middle school, their father, Chris said that she would always attend matches and keep score in the stands. Then one day, the middle school wrestling coach pulled her aside and asked her if she wanted to wrestle in the lowest weight class. They were forced to forfeit each match in that class, and all she had to do was avoid getting pinned. “When I started wrestling, my mom would come in to over watch practices with just me and my coach and I would end up wrestling her,” Sarah said. “This sweet woman let me beat her up at 5:30 in the morning, for the sake of my improvement.” Against boys, she went undefeated for the rest of the season. Sarah attributes her success to seeing her brothers succeed. “My brothers were successful almost immediately,” she said. “I think that helped me believe in myself just to even begin wrestling.” For her success, Drew was the catalyst that inspired her to keep going.

Drew was not the first in the family to discover wrestling. His oldest brother, Cory, first began wrestling after trying a lot of different sports. However, the physicality of wrestling proved to be the deciding factor to stick with wrestling. Chris, and their mother, Nancy, were both athletes. Chris was a tennis player at Drury University and Nancy was a cheerleader at Southern Indiana University Edwardsville. Chris also played soccer in high school. “We touched a lot of different things, and we wanted them to try all of the sports,” Chris said. “They were all very physical growing up, and they got bored with swimming and softball. In tee ball, when Drew would run the bases, he would always slide head-first.” Chris and his wife Nancy found a wrestling club at Penn High School in Mishawaka, Indiana, near their hometown of Granger. Each one of their children participated in it and found suc-

Sarah’s Surge to Team USA At King University, Sarah wrestled for the Tornado in the 125-pound weight class. After her time in Bristol, Tennessee, she hit the international ranks and currently wrestles for Team USA in the 53-kilogram (123-pound) weight class. For Sarah, she has dreamt about being a profes-

sional athlete since she was a little kid. Not only is she living her dream, she has the opportunity to represent her country at the highest level. “It’s my full-time job,” she said. “Almost every waking moment is dedicated to training, recovery and competing. It’s such an honor really, a dream come true. It adds a special meaning behind everything I do.” Sarah took a win in her weight-class in Krasnoyarsk, Russia to kick off her season at the Grand Prix Ivan Yariguin Jan. 24-27. It was the first rankings event of the year and the points scored help the seeding for the world championships in Kazakhstan in September. “She’s such an inspiration to me and other people and it’s so cool to watch her do crazy things,” Drew said of Sarah. “It’s fun whenever I get to see her, talking about our different experiences in wrestling, it’s really unique.” Sarah is a self-proclaimed bookworm and loves to read. Once her athletic career is over, she wants to be an author and spread the message that “be yourself, love yourself, your quirks and work hard toward whoever that may be.” As for the personal side of Drew and Sarah, they both said that they are complete opposites of the athlete stereotype. “It may not seem like it, but I’m a pretty goofy guy,” Drew said. “I’m funny when you get to know me.”
