GYMNASTICS COACH PLACED ON PAID ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE, INVESTIGATION PENDING Central Michigan gymnastics head coach Jerry Reighard has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation, the CMU Athletic Department announced Wednesday. In the meantime, associate head coach Christine MacDonald will provide leadership for the program. The investigation of Reighard has nothing to do with Larry Nassar’s case or Title IX, Central Michigan Athletic Director Michael Alford told Central Michigan Life. The story will be updated when new information is provided. So far in 2019, the

Chippewas are 10-1 overall and 3-0 in the Mid-American Conference. CMU’s upcoming meet is 7 p.m. Feb. 22 against Bowling Green at McGuirk Arena. Reighard took over the gymnastics program for the 1984-85 season. In 2018, he led CMU to a MAC regular season title and a first-place finish at the MAC championships. In 2018, CMU’s Katy Clements became the second All-American in program history. The other was Kylie Fagan in 2015. Under Reighard, eight individual student-athletes have made it to the NCAA regional championships. In 2018, Denelle Pedrick became the first in CMU

PHISHING SCAM EMAILS CIRCULATE CAMPUS, OVERWHELMING STUDENTS Many Central Michigan University students have been hacked after opening emails with bright blue buttons that read “click here to read message,” and inevitably clicking them. The emails appear to be sent by someone the student already knows, with a subject line they have already exchanged with that person. On Feb. 19, the Office of Information Technology sent out an email calling attention to the phishing scam and instructing students who responded to the emails or clicked on the link to change their password immediately. “There’s a very prolific scam email circulating campus,” the email said. “This particular message contains a blue button asking you to click to read the message. This is a phishing message, and you should not click this button.” Students who receive emails with a similar link should hover over the link to see if it leads to an untrustworthy location. Many students immediately followed instructions to change their cmich.edu account passwords. However, with such

an unprecedented amount of students changing their passwords so suddenly, the server that handles the password resets went down. Kole Taylor, manager of communications and enablement for OIT, said the server going down were not directly related to the phishing and hacking, but just a secondary effect. OIT works on their own and with Microsoft to delete known and malicious emails out of students mailboxes because they aren’t in anyway beneficial, only dangerous. The phishing issue was more widespread, hitting other universities and not just CMU. On the OIT website, students can find more tips on how to avoid phishing scams. Student’s who don’t have control of their accounts are urged to contact the Help Desk at (989) 774-3662 or helpdesk@cmich.edu. -Courtney Pedersen Staff Reporter

CMUPD SEES DECREASE IN MARIJUANA REPORTS SINCE NOV. 6 MICHIGAN LEGALIZATION CMU TRIATHLON CLUB TO HOST NINTH-ANNUAL CHIPPEWA CHALLENGE AT SAC ON FEB. 24 The Triathlon Club at Central Michigan University will host its ninth annual CMU Chippewa Challenge Indoor Triathlon at 7:30 a.m. Feb. 24 in the CMU Student Activities Center. The challenge is meant as an opportunity to ward off the dreariness of winter and to work toward fitness goals. “Whether you are a veteran triathlete or this is your first race, the race is a great opportunity to beat the winter blues and work toward your fitness goals,” the event’s page said. The races will have three legs with fiveminute transition periods in between. The first leg will be a swim in an indoor pool, in which contestants will have 20 minutes to swim as many laps as they can, followed by racers biking as far as possible on a stationary bike within 25 minutes. Participants will finish by running as many laps as they can in a 20-minute time frame. This year’s triathlon will debut a new team relay heat. In this race, teams will consist of three contestants, and each contestant will only take on one leg of the race. The race will take place during wave nine, which starts at

10:50 a.m. To participate in the triathlon, contestants will have to register online for one of the nine waves, with a maximum of 10 racers per wave. The first eight waves will be for individual racers and the ninth and final wave will be for team racers. The first wave starts at 7:30 a.m. and the last wave starts at 10:50 a.m. Check in begins at 7:00 a.m. and the waves will start 25 minutes apart. Each wave will have a registration fee. Individual racers will pay $40 and teams pay $75. All the proceeds will go toward the Triathlon Club’s travel fees to compete in Temple, AZ. “Not only will you be able to challenge your own limits and have a lifetime of bragging rights, but you will also be helping the Triathlon Club at CMU raise money to keep the sport of triathlon in the middle of the mitten,” the website said. For more information, visit the event’s webpage. -Brody Britton, Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University Police Department has seen a decrease in reports of marijuana on campus since its legalization in Michigan after Proposal 1 passed during the 2018 midterm elections. This week, officers only received two calls about students with weed on campus or the odor of marijuana. “To be honest, we’ve seen a decrease in calls regarding (marijuana on campus),” said CMUPD Lt. Cameron Wassman. “I’m hopeful since CMU has been educating students on what the law change means and that it means students can’t smoke on campus. “Our policies need to be followed. Hopefully, that’s the reason there are fewer reports.” Late at night on Feb. 13, officers were dispatched to Wheeler Hall with reports of an odor of marijuana. Officers made contact with two males and one female, all 18 years olds, who were in their dorm room. Officers found two marijuana cigarettes and an empty alcohol bottle. The two cigarettes equaled about 2.5 grams.

No criminal charges were filed and the case was transferred to the Office of Student Conduct. Another account of marijuana on campus occurred at about 10:30 p.m. on Feb. 16, when CMUPD officers were dispatched to Fabiano Hall for the odor of marijuana. Officers made contact with the 19-yearold male who turned over 4.9 grams of marijuana. He was issued a citation for being a minor in possession. The CMU marijuana policy states “the use of recreational or medicinal marijuana in any form, including edibles and extracts, remains prohibited by university policy and federal law. CMU policies have not changed since the law took effect. “CMU policies and federal law prohibit anyone from using, possessing or distributing marijuana on CMU property or at any CMU events, including CMU travel.” Other CMUPD reports had to do with assault complaints, alcohol violations and welfare checks. -Rachael Yadlowsky, Staff Reporter

O’KELLY’S TO HOST GUS MACKER BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT LAUNCH PARTY O’Kelly’s Sports Bar and Grille will be hosting the CMU Gus Macker launch party 7-10 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21. This celebration kicks off the 6th annual 3-on-3 Gus Macker basketball tournament, an event with history dating back to 1974. The party also serves as a fundraiser to boost revenue for the tournament. There will be a silent auction with more than 75 items for bid and a 50/50 raffle in partnership with United Way — Isabella and Gratiot County’s biggest fundraising program dedicated to ending generational poverty. This year’s party will be Dr. Seuss-themed. It will feature specialty food and drink items with purchase of a $3 wristband. Some specialty items include: Cheese Trees (mozzarella sticks), Who Hash (loaded tater-tots), Beezulnut Splash (well double), and Goose Juice (coke products) and others that have adopted colorful Seuss-style names. The tournament was started by 1979 CMU graduate Scott McNeal when he gathered 18 friends in his neighborhood in Lowell. Since then, the tournament has become the largest 3-on-3 organization in the world.

“Because he’s a CMU grad, we wanted to bring the event back on campus,” said Recreation and Event Management faculty member Tim Otteman. “I was there at the first one with other (recreation) students doing score keeping and timing.” The Gus Macker at CMU is organized by the RPM 333 class named Production of Festival and Events. CMU is the only university in the nation that runs a Gus Macker tournament with undergraduate students, Otteman said. Players can win a custom-made Gus Macker trophy for coming in first, second or third place at the tournament. Teams that lose their first two games will compete for another award — the coveted toilet bowl trophy. “This is a neat way to break the winter blues and support not only student-run events, but also our community partners as well,” Otteman said. CMU students can sign up for the Mount Pleasant tournament by visiting the Gus Macker website. Sign up fees are $148 per team of four, the online deadline is April 8. -Michael Livingston, Staff Reporter

SGA ‘LET’S GET LIFE SMART’ EVENT AIMS TO TEACH LIFE SKILLS ON FEB. 22 Student Government Association will present a “Let’s Get Life Smart” event from 4:45-7:30 p.m. Feb. 22 in the Bovee University Center Auditorium. The event is geared toward helping students learn useful life skills such as healthy living, budgeting, resume-building, how to pay back loans, organizational skills, finding jobs, internships and others. SGA Registered Student Organization Growth & Development committee chair Mary Chiejina has been working on this event for a year. “I planned this because I needed it,” Chiejina said. “Last semester, I was figuring this all out, and you have to go to all these different offices that people don’t even know are there. I was like, ‘what if I can make an event that can bring (this information) all together?’” The event will be split up into three 45-minute sessions with short breaks in between. Attendees can choose which three topics they feel their knowledge is lacking in and attend the corresponding workshop. “I just want people to learn basic life skills – things that your parents might not have

had the time to teach you or (you might not be able) to take a class to learn,” Chiejina said. During the sessions, Academic RSOs, First Impressions and Student Employment Services will be tabling around the Bovee University Center with additional information and services. Students will be able to sign up with success coaches from the Office of Student Success to be held accountable and apply any new knowledge gained from the workshops. Success coaches offer services ranging from time management, college adjustment, study habits, budgeting and goal setting. “We want people to get a window of what campus provides for them, and (provide) a quick learning session,” Chiejina said. Although the event goes from 4:45 to 7:30 p.m., students can arrive any time between the sessions and leave whenever they please. More information can be found by contacting the SGA Facebook page. -Teresa Homsi, Staff Reporter

Savannah Glassock | Staff Photographer A participant in the 2019 Polar Plunge emerges from the freezing water on Feb. 16 outside Wayside Central and O’Kelly’s Sports Bar and Grille.

Jumping into frigid waters in the middle of winter. Doesn’t sound appealing? What if you knew your participation would help athletes with intellectual disabilities participate in a major competition every year? The Polar Plunge is an annual event that takes place in cities around Michigan to raise money for Special Olympics Michigan. This year, more than 300 people participated in the plunge, which raised more than $65,000 for special olympics. This is commendable. We want to say thank you to all of the participants who brace the cold temperatures every year to take part in something of the greater good. Thank you for supporting such a good cause that has been part of the Mount Pleasant community for decades. In the 1970s the Special Olympics Michigan office relocated to Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant. In 1974, the fourth International Sum-

EDITORIAL mer Special Olympics Games took place in Mount Pleasant for the first time. For years, Polar Plunge and the special olympics competition has brought CMU and the city together for a praiseworthy cause. We challenge students, faculty, staff and community to participate in the plunge next year. Take that leap and give to something bigger than yourself. Strive to raise more than $65,000 next year. Strive for $70,000, $80,000, even $100,000. While school, work and the stress of life can take all of our attention, look to partake in something that you know your effort helped the lives of many others. Pay it forward and participate. Be a part of a great cause and tradition that our town and university is home to.

LGBTQ people and Christians are not enemies

LGBTQ people and Christians are often framed as complete opposites. We’ve seen this in debates around samegender marriage discrimination laws and Karen Pence’s recent choice to teach at an anti-LGBTQ Christian school. A recent Central Michigan Life guest columnist framed some Americans’ disappointment in the Second Lady’s choice as anti-Christian bigotry pushing “LGBTQ dogma” (a phrase eerily reminiscent of the “homosexual agenda.”) The columnist argued that Christianity is under attack based off media coverage of the March for Life, the Covington Catholic High School boys and the Second Lady’s aforementioned decision. The columnist ended with a plea to return to the “Judeo-Christian principles” our country was purportedly founded on. While there are certainly media personalities, and ordinary individuals, who treat Christians unfairly, I do not agree that the media coverage mentioned by the columnist demonstrates an attack. I would also disagree that Christianity is under attack in our country. Pew Research Center’s Religious Landscape Study of more than 35,000 Americans found that Christians made up 70.6 percent of our population in 2015. American Christians do not generally experience routine or systemic discrimination, but it’s still perfectly legal for Michigan employers to discriminate against LGBTQ people.

Rob Linsley Guest Columnist

Rather than respond to the column, I want to focus on one specific idea: the implication that Christians and LGBTQ people are inherently at odds. “There was an uproar in the media because the Christian school does not accept the LGBTQ dogma from the employees or the students,” the columnist wrote. As a bisexual trans man who grew up in conservative evangelical homeschooling subculture, the column’s language and its implications felt painfully familiar — and I do mean painfully. Only recently have I begun to unravel the trauma left from my religious upbringing and the damaging words from even loving Christians with good intentions — including the deep, lasting impact of being framed as an enemy to my own God and religion. I grew up with the explicit and implicit message that LGBTQ people were one of Christians’ biggest enemies, even that our fight for rights was a sign of the end times. Yes, it was frequently cloaked in the language of “love” — but

the disgust was painfully palpable. I still sometimes hear those voices as a violent underbelly in my life: “You’re absolutely disgusting.” After all, why shouldn’t Christians feel disgusted by us? It makes perfect sense, if our fight for rights is so anti-Christian. Still, I wanted to be a good Christian. I followed the first, greatest commandment: I loved God with all my heart, soul and mind. But when I first realized I was queer, I thought I was evil — even that I had demons. I felt like I was antiGod, no matter how much I sang in worship, read my Bible and prayed. Countless times I pleaded for God to take away my queerness. This tears a person apart more than words can say. All I wanted at that point was to die, but dying meant God would send me to Hell. All the while, many surrounding Christians who spread anti-LGBTQ bigotry proclaimed they “loved” LGBTQ people. This distorted my sense of love. It shattered my sense of reality and my ability to trust and value myself. Some Christian reconstructionists in my homeschooling community even advocated the death penalty for gay people; those who advocated divine murder fit in better and were seen as more moral than myself. Then there was my church’s youth group, where most of the homophobia wasn’t as explicitly hateful — there, homophobia might take the form of equating trusting gay relationships with adultery as similar “sexual sins.”

This all builds up. Gay men who’ve never experienced a major traumatic incident often experience PTSD symptoms from a lifetime of mini-traumas building up, according to Alex Keuroghlian, a psychiatrist who studies LGBTQ health. I can guarantee there are LGBTQ children in Karen Pence’s school experiencing those traumas. I think about those children, and I see the child I once was. I see the child who spent every day wishing he could only die without having to be tormented for all eternity by the God who supposedly loved him. I want to give that child a hug, tell him he’s beautiful just as he is and tell him true love is never violent. We LGBTQ people do not have a “dogma,” other than to have our loves and our lives respected just the same as anyone else. I’ve read the Bible cover to cover, and it taught me “death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Hate crimes wouldn’t happen if there weren’t people spreading toxic stereotypes. Painting LGBTQ people’s desire for human respect as anti-Christian is fundamentally dehumanizing. It feeds a long-running machine forged with prejudice and fear of the other. I am LGBTQ. I am a skeptic rediscovering my spiritual side. I love so much of Christianity and the Bible. I have no prejudice toward a Christian so long as she has no prejudice toward me.

During November 2018, this campus was absolutely rocked by two incidents where there were inappropriate messages written on white boards. The white board that had “fuck u black monkey whores” written on it was attached to the door with a marker magnetized to it. The other white board that had “piece of shit transie RA” written on it was directly outside of the resident assistant’s door with a marker provided as well. It is no surprise to me that there was something offensive written on these boards — they were open to the public with a writing utensil provided. It is the same as Facebook, but worse: You have a wall that anyone can post on and you can erase something if you don’t like it, but the owner of the white board can’t control who writes on their board like a Facebook user can control who writes on their wall. Central Michigan University is not a private company though, so you can’t report such language when it happens and expect a ban. Rather, CMU is a public university that should foster free speech and promote the exchange of ideas. Keeping in mind that CMU is a public university, think about this: In R.A.V. v. St. Paul (1992), U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia writes that while he agrees it is the “’responsibility, even the obligation, of diverse communities” to address similar hateful acts in all forms, “...the manner of that confrontation cannot consist of selective limitations upon speech.” This case established that contentbased bans on speech are unconstitutional. In Street v. New York (1969), Justice John Harlan wrote that speech which people find offensive cannot be banned simply because the content is offensive. To cement that precedent, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Matal v. Tam (2017) that banning speech based on one’s viewpoint is unconstitutional, and “giving offense is a viewpoint.” This all circles back to the messages written on the whiteboards: The speech written was constitutionally protected. In the R.A.V. case the Supreme Court struck down an ordinance that penalized teenagers for burning crosses in the lawns of black residents. The court said that regulations which ban speech based solely on what the content is directed at would be unconstitutional. They provide examples in their opinions to prove their point but allow me to provide a more relevant one. Here at CMU there is (at the time this column was written) a poster in Powers Hall that reads “Nazis have no place here.” However, it is unlikely that one can say or

write the same things about a black person, or a Jewish person, or any group that is popular to sympathize with without receiving a certain amount of punishment. The same concept applies when the university protects adversarial speech toward straight white men but not the same speech toward a pansexual black trans woman. Speech cannot be regulated based on who the content is directed toward, so this dynamic would be unconstitutional, if true. I’m left wondering what the demand for cameras, if met, would accomplish. Even if the author(s) of those notes were caught, what is there to be done? There is no current legal precedent that prevents this type of speech. Hate speech isn’t recognized under the law. It only accomplishes putting a face to the words. That doesn’t prevent the messages from being written, persuade anyone from being racist or transphobic and there is no constitutional rule or regulation that can stop it based only on content. Stephen Cici and Wendy Williams, Cornell University researchers on psychological science, published a research article in May 2018 titled “Who Decides What Is Acceptable Speech On Campus? Why Restricting Free Speech Is Not The Answer.” It concluded, as the title would lead you to believe, restricting free speech is not the answer to preventing undesirable speech. In fact, they found that free speech in the form of exchanging ideas is a better answer to combat that speech. Unless the cameras were demanded so they could find the authors and exchange ideas, I don’t see much use. Michigan State University banned white boards and I would hate to see CMU do the same. So, here is my suggestion: Everyone should get thicker skin, or don’t provide anyone with a whiteboard to write on and marker to write with if you would have a hard time dealing with something similar.

HUDSON MAKES HISTORY ‘Sugar’ McLaughlin praises Hudson for setting new scoring record, reminisces about CMU By Evan Petzold Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

It was 1979. He was ready to sign his national letter of intent to play college basketball for the great Johnny Orr at the University of Michigan. His primary recruiter from the Wolverines was assistant coach Jim Boyce. However, rumors of Boyce’s plan to accept the head coaching job at Eastern Michigan University began to develop throughout the in-state basketball community. Grand Rapids Creston High School senior Melvin McLaughlin, hoping to debunk the gossip, made a phone call that changed the course of history. “No, I’m going to be here with you (at Michigan),” McLaughlin remembers Boyce telling him. “Are you ready to sign?” McLaughlin went with his gut and declined. He told Boyce he would wait a few more weeks before making the decision. Sure enough, Boyce departed for the Eagles a few days after the phone call, leaving Orr without his top recruit and McLaughlin without a destination for his next four years. “He lied to me,” McLaughlin, 58, said. “He said he’d be there for my four years as an assistant coach. I had a chance to go all over the nation.” Dick Parfitt was in the midst of building a men’s basketball dynasty in Mount Pleasant. He took the Chippewas to the NCAA Tournament in the 1974-75 and 1976-77 seasons. Once Michigan, McLaughlin’s first choice, was out of the mix, Parfitt came calling. Back in the eighth grade, McLaughlin developed a relationship with Dave Ginsberg, a legendary high school basketball coach in the Grand Rapids area. Parfitt added Ginsberg as an assistant coach in 1975, and his stint lasted 16 years. Ultimately, Ginsberg sold McLaughlin on the Chippewas. “It was the relationship I had with coach Ginsberg that helped make my choice to come to Central Michigan,” McLaughlin said.

‘MOST PEOPLE STILL CALL ME SUGAR’ Baxter Community Center still stands in Grand Rapids to this day. When McLaughlin was in fifth and sixth grade, he went to play pick-up basketball after school. More often than not, George Knight, a former college basketball player at Niagara University and the owner of the community center, watched him compete. McLaughlin zoomed down the court and wove past defenders. He dribbled the basketball between his legs, scooped it behind his back and pulled up for a long jump shot. It went in. “That move was sweet as sugar,” Knight said in awe. “I’m going to start calling you Sugar.” From that point on, the nickname stuck. McLaughlin went on to shine for Creston from 1977-79. He

finished with more than 2,300 career points at the high school level. When Creston High School closed its doors forever as the 2012-13 school year came to a close, 1982 graduate Jerry Hendrick shared his favorite memory of the school in an MLive article. It was of McLaughlin. Hendrick claimed McLaughlin as a better offensive player than many basketball greats. “Over the years I have watched many of Michigan’s high school basketball legends play, including Glen Rice, Roy Marble, Jalen Rose, Antoine Joubert, Chris Webber and others but have never seen a better offensive player than Mel,” Hendrick said. While Rice, Webber and Rose are some of the all-time great players, McLaughlin most looked up to guard Val Bracey and forward Leon Guydon – both products of Grand Rapids. Bracey and Guydon attended CMU when McLaughlin was a senior in high school. The pair, alongside assistant coach Ginsberg, helped persuade McLaughlin to join the Chippewas. “They were whistling in my ear like, ‘Man, you should come up to Central Michigan,’” McLaughlin recalls. “They went to the NCAA Tournament a few times and won the Mid-American Conference.” Pressure loomed on McLaughlin’s impending decision. The 6-foot guard made the 85-mile journey from Grand Rapids to Mount Pleasant and fell in love with the atmosphere. He called Parfitt and signed to the Chippewas. It seemed like fantasy at the time of his signing, but McLaughlin would go on

to become one of the greatest players in CMU history. As a freshman in the 1979-80 season, McLaughlin was second on the team in scoring behind 6-foot-9 veteran center Mike Robinson. The rookie averaged 12.4 points per game (297 total), adding 2.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists to his early resume. He made 136-of-290 shots from the field (46.9 percent). As McLaughlin emerged as a sophomore in 1980-81, he punished his opponents by making 231-of-460 shots (50.2 percent) for an average of 20.8 points per game (542 total). Of all the points scored in his career, McLaughlin’s favorite memory came that season. Down by one with two seconds remaining against Ball State, 6-foot-7 senior forward Ted Anderson was inbounding the ball at the opposite end of the court. McLaughlin raced to the half court line, jumped over his defender (future NBA coach Ray McCallum), took one dribble and launched a 40-foot shot. Rose Arena erupted. Ball game. “It was a beautiful, enthusiastic time,” McLaughlin said. “It was beautiful, man.” While it seems improbable, McLaughlin took his performance to new heights in 1981-82, averaging 23.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.1 steals. He scored a total of 581 points on 255-of-497 (51.3 percent) shooting from the field. During his final campaign as a senior in 1982-83, McLaughlin scored 651 points behind a 49.3 percent shooting mark – averaging 24.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.0 steals per game.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE y CM-LIFE.COM y FEB. 21, 2019 Grand total: 2,071 points. His senior season provided a handful of memories. McLaughlin tallied 21 points against the Boyce-led Eastern Michigan Eagles to break the CMU all-time scoring record, previously held by Ben Kelso. Old friend Boyce, the reason McLaughlin didn’t end up at Michigan, spoke on his greatness following CMU’s defeat of cross-state rival Eastern Michigan. “Melvin showed what a great player he is,” Boyce said after the game. “We played him tough on defense and he still got the ball to his teammates.” During that same 1982-83 stellar season, McLaughlin put together a 42-point performance in a 64-62 win on the road over Toledo near the beginning stages of MAC play. He was 18-of-23 from the field and 6-of-6 from the free throw line. “It was vintage Melvin McLaughlin,” Parfitt, CMU’s coach at the time, said. “That was as hot as I’ve seen him. He kept doing it even when he was fatigued.” Later in the season, McLaughlin canned a 23-foot jumper at the buzzer to beat Toledo, 70-69, at Rose Arena in Mount Pleasant. In a 74-68 victory against Kent State during McLaughlin’s senior year, he scored a career-high 46 points, one shy of the Rose Arena record set by Indiana State star Larry Bird in 1977.

AHEAD OF HIS TIME McLaughlin believes he played in the wrong era of basketball. As a matter of fact, he said nearly 90 percent of his shots came from what now would count as three points. However, the NCAA didn’t universally implement the 3-point line until 1986, three years after McLaughlin graduated from CMU. McLaughlin estimates he would have totaled approximately 3,000 points in college if there was a 3-point arc. “I had less games and didn’t have the 3-point line,” McLaughlin said. “Most of my shots were from 25-to-30 feet out. Once again, I only got credit for two (points). My game was for this era – getting up and down, shooting the long ball.” Of his four years spent in Mount Pleasant, McLaughlin said he will never forget the friendships and memories. Those truly last a lifetime. He went on as a sixth-round draft pick in 1983 by the Cleveland Cavaliers (119th overall), but never took the court. In 1993, McLaughlin etched his name into CMU’s Hall of Fame. He was also inducted into the Grand Rapids Sports Hall of

Fame in 2005. McLaughlin, statistically speaking, was the best pure scorer to play at CMU. He forever changed the Chippewas. Understanding all of that, the value of CMU women’s basketball senior guard Presley Hudson passing his all-time scoring record becomes undoubtedly lucid.

PASSING ‘SUGAR’ It’s been 36 years since McLaughlin capped his career at CMU. On Feb. 9, 2019, his all-time scoring record of 2,071 points was snapped by Hudson. The 5-foot-6 guard knocked down a mid-range jumper with 8:54 left against Ohio to secure sole possession of the scoring title. “When I got here, I had some goals in mind that I wanted to accomplish,” Hudson said. “I never even thought about breaking the men’s scoring title, but it’s icing on the cake. I wouldn’t be able to do it without my coaches and teammates.” Surprisingly enough, Hudson attended a basketball camp during her middle school years at Ottawa Hills High School. The camp was hosted by McLaughlin, something he’s done for over 20 years for boys and girls in Grand Rapids between 5th and 12th grade. McLaughlin doesn’t remember since Hudson only went once. “That’s a beautiful connection that she went to the camp, went to Central Michigan and ended up breaking one of my records,” McLaughlin said. “I’m really happy for her and her family. She’s done her thing, for sure.”

McLaughlin said Hudson’s ability to pass his record is a testament to her work ethic and desire for greatness. “When I watched her tape, I could see the determination,” McLaughlin said. “She’s like a little dynamite stick. It reminded me a lot of myself coming up.” To this point in her CMU career, Hudson holds the women’s basketball records for points, assists and 3-point shots made – along with the men’s scoring title. “It’s very unique that it’s a woman to break the (men’s) record,” said CMU coach Sue Guevara. “When you watched her in high school, you knew that she was special. You knew it.” McLaughlin, as proud as he is of Hudson, hopes CMU fans remember one thing. “I still got the men’s scoring record,” McLaughlin said with a laugh. “It ain’t over with yet. “I didn’t need the 3-pointer or extra games to do it. With that said, this record stands out more than any record because of the way I did it.”

Alumnus leaves behind legacy of generosity By Isaac Ritchey Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Elizabeth Harkins-Meade’s fondest memories of her father take place in East Port on Lake Michigan where he expressed his love for sailing and taught the craft to Meade and her siblings. While on the lake, Harkins would purposefully tip his Sunfish sailboat to see if his children could correct it. Meade said she and her siblings learned to flip the Sunfish by steering it directly into the wind where it corrected itself. “It was a great metaphor for life,” Meade said after pausing to take a deep breath. “It taught us to be prepared. If you get in trouble, how are you going to out of trouble.” Central Michigan University and the Mount Pleasant community lost a beloved friend after John “Jack” Harkins died on Jan. 28. Harkins started his life-long residency in Mount Pleasant after being born to Richard and Eileen Harkins July 14, 1939. Meade described her father as “generous in time, friendship and finances.” “My dad just absolutely loved people ... when he met someone, he wanted to know everything about those people and asked them all sorts of questions,” she said. “Once he got to know you, he would give anything-- any-

In the interview, Harkins said he considered himself “a lucky guy” to have a chance to graduate from CMU after making mistakes during his education at Miami University of

SGA WELCOMES CITY MAYOR, SAPA REPRESENTATIVES AT FEB. 18 MEETING Student Government Association hosted Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Joseph and Sexual Aggression Peer Advocate representatives at the Feb. 18 meeting. Joseph started his presentation by outlining his responsibilities as the mayor and explaining how the city of Mount Pleasant operates. He also described ongoing fundraising efforts to the Isabella County Restoration House (ICRH), the clearing of icy sidewalks, and the evaluation of the police in regards to race, with the possible establishment of a Citizens Advisory Board. “Without the student body here, (Mount Pleasant) would probably be another farm town,” Joseph said. “Your input is dollars and cents to business owners in our community. Honestly, it’s some of the cultural motivation for a lot of the policies we do as a city. Your voice needs to be heard.” Joseph stressed the importance of

student participation in local government and public comment. Joseph listed his main focal points as sustainability, local business growth, homelessness and making Mount Pleasant more appealing to young people. SAPA representatives Taylor Bernstein and C.J. Russell gave a presentation on SAPA, a student organization that serves anyone, on and off campus, affected by sexual aggression with a 24/7 confidential hotline, online chat and in-person services. Bernstein and Russell spoke at SGA in hopes of recruiting new SAPA members. SAPA applications can be found on the SAPA webpage. The deadline for applications is Friday, Feb. 22. SGA also passed legislation that encourages CMU administration to review and revise the current inclement weather policy.

Ohio. While at the university, Harkins neglected to study or do any necessary work. He was asked to leave. After coming home to Mount Pleasant, Harkins applied to CMU and was originally turned down. He got a second chance after President Charles Anspach visited with Harkins and his mentors and grew increasingly certain of his abilities as a student.

Harkins was proud to be one of “Charlie’s boys”-- a group young of men Anspach believed held great promise if encouraged to succeed, Martin said. “My father told me to think of university as a job... just average forty hours a week,” Harkins said, crediting much of his success to the wisdom of his father. Meade said CMU gave her father his whole life by launching his career and allowing him to meet a woman by the name of Constance “Connie” Matthews, whom he married after graduating. While at CMU, Harkins began to work at Lease Management — an oil company in Mount Pleasant. Harkins later became a coowner and the president of the Mount Pleasant oil company. Harkins never took the chance he was given for granted and ingrained in his children the life lesson he had learned, Meade said. “He told us when we were kids to always show up before everyone else, work harder than everyone else and give more than you receive,” Meade said. “We live that.” Jack is remembered by the stories he told with a smile on his face and the multitude of family, friends and acquaintances that were once upon a time susceptible to his charm and charity.

PROVOST SEARCH PROFILE RELEASED, GOAL TO HAVE NEW PROVOST BY JULY 1

A leadership profile has been created for the next Central Michigan University provost and executive vice president. The profile states, “the university seeks an innovative academic leader with the experiences and management qualities to build on the institution’s reputation and take it to even higher levels of academic excellence and student success.” As the principal officer for all of the university’s undergraduate and graduate education activities, the provost is responsible for university accreditation, promotes student success and excellence in teaching, coordinates and manages budget development for various colleges and advises the president on the university’s academic functions. The next provost will need to contribute to the “Achieving Excellence: CMU’s Strategic Plan 2017-2022” that is centered around the key institutional values. The provost must obtain a doctorate from an accredited institution, hold a record of distinguished research and teaching, be a tenurable full professor, be committed to diversity and inclusion and possess exceptional verbal and written communication skills. The profile states, “ideal provost candidates

have inclusive and decisive higher education leadership experience, executive level budgeting experience, ability to manage a complex academic organization and be a highly motivated team player who can effectively function in a fast-paced environment.” “The candidate needs to be analytic and collaborative because the university is made of multiple moving parts and usually stops on the provost’s desk,” said search committee co-chair Richard Rothaus, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. A 16-member search committee, appointed by President Robert Davies, is working alongside search firm Witt/Kieffer to find the next CMU provost. Open forums were held on January 14 to gather desired attributes for a provost from the campus. Rothaus said the plan is to have final candidates on campus before the end of the semester for tours and an open forum. The committee hopes to hire a new provost by July 1. -Courtney Pedersen, Staff Reporter

By Michael Livingston Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

In the same building as the popular Mountain Town Station, the mystic and elegant atmosphere of Camille’s Prime is home to pristine seafood, homegrown vegetables and the choicest cuts of meat that accumulate into savory fine dining. The restaurant opened in 2011 as a compliment of Mountain Town. Both restaurants were opened by Jim Holton, former mayor of Mount Pleasant and owner of various restaurants and brewery entities in mid-Michigan. While the two establishments are mere footsteps away from one another, they cater to separate clientele and feature different menu items. “Camille’s has taken the forefront of the

Camille’s offers over 110 wine options plus other drinks and craft beers. The business grows its own produce in the garden behind the restaurant in the warmer seasons. Nickerson said up until recently, as the restaurant begins to increase advertising, many did not know of Camille’s existence. Some customers would migrate to Camille’s if the line is too long at Mountain Town and are pleasantly surprised with the quality and atmosphere. “For a while, we were the best kept secret in Mount Pleasant,” said Nickerson. “It’s crazy that even being in the same building as Mountain Town, many people don’t know Camille’s exists.” Camille’s puts high-grade service, ambiance and food at the top of their list of priorities. “When we get negative customer comments, I kind of take it on myself,” said corporate executive chef Brent Peterson. “I kind of uphold myself as being that nextlevel dining experience.” As corporate executive chef, Peterson oversees five separate restaurant entities and creates the concepts for different dishes while still giving his sous chefs the

Brent’s father was the original chef of Mountain Town in 1996; his first job was doing dishes in his father’s kitchen. He is also a CMU alumnus, graduating with a degree in Business Communications. At 24, Peterson traveled around the U.S. opening locations and training chefs for Seasons 52, a chain grill and wine bar that began in 2003. Peterson was contacted by Holton in 2011 and has been moving up the ranks the company ranks ever since. Byron Center residents Tom and Janice Boylow met with their friends Don and Connie Walker from East Tawas for lunch at Camille’s and were immediately impressed by the atmosphere and service. “I have no fear in saying we offer the best experience in Mount Pleasant, or even Mid-Michigan ... we feel absolutely obligated to be cherished,” Nickerson said. Going into the future, Peterson said he would like Camille’s to move away from being labeled as a special event’s location and instead be embraced by CMU students as the best dining experience in town.
