Central Autism Assessment and Treatment Center to see improvements after $92,500 grant

By Sara Kellner Staff Reporter

“Early intervention is the key to improving skill development”

news@cm-life.com

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the Mount Pleasant community will see expanded treatment services thanks to a state grant.

The Central Autism Assessment and Treatment Center received $92,500 from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services on Oct. 1. Clinic Director Dr. Christie Nutkins said this is the fourth year the CAAT center has received a MDHHS grant.

Part of the grant will be used to supplement student salaries.

The center, which opened four years ago, provides a place to train Central Michigan University students in Applied Behavior Analysis, a common form of treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Dr. Seth Whiting, the clinic’s director of training, said there are 30-40 undergraduate and graduate students working there this semester.

Whiting said the demand for trained, board-certified behavior analysts and assistant behavior analysts is rapidly increasing. The CAAT center is trying to keep up with the demand by training students in the principles of treating autism.

According to Autism Society, an organization that works to promote the awareness and understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder, autism is a developmental disability that can lead to difficulty with executive functioning, such as reasoning and planning. Symptoms of autism also include intense, single-minded interests and degradation of motor skills and sensory sensitivities.

“We teach the students how to engage in behavioral observation, a part of ABA,” Whiting said. “We also prepare them to handle challenging behaviors and to overcome ethical dilemmas.”

Students work at the clinic to meet requirements for receiving their board certification, and to gain experience working with patients. Undergraduate students need a minimum of 1,000 hours of supervised experience. Graduate students need 1,500 hours of supervised experience.

Lakeview senior Molly Conway has been working at the CAAT center for more than a year. She is currently a senior lead clinician at the center, meaning she takes on her own clients and writes training programs for them. As a senior lead clinician, she also acts as a resource for other students working at the clinic by helping with training sessions and giving them advice about problems that may arise at the clinic.

“We all start off not knowing what to do, so it’s really nice to see (clinicians) gain confidence and find their voice,” Conway said.

After graduating, Conway plans to attend graduate school at CMU and continue working at the clinic.

Whiting said students receive a minimum of 40 hours of ABA training through coursework

before working with clients. When they work in the clinic, they receive hands-on experience working with patients and making plans for treatment.

They always work with Nutkins or Whiting, the supervisors at the clinic.

Students work in the clinic for 10-30 hours per week, Whiting said. Most students get paid for their work in the clinic, while some volunteer their time.

The grant the CAAT center received last year is meant for treatment and training, not for assessment. The Assessment Center is separate from the Treatment Center. The Assessment Center is located in the Carls Center for Clinical Care and Education in the Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow Health Professions Building.

The CAAT center is located on University Park Drive near Bennigan’s.

Dr. Melissa Tuttle, director of Autism Assessment, said the Assessment Center’s main source of funding is revenue from insurance billing. When a patient goes to the Assessment Center, their health insurance company typically pays the bill for the service.

Tuttle said the Assessment Center is not only self-sustaining — it is growing. The center brings in patients from all over Michigan. She said they see about 10-20 patients each month. Tuttle added that a lot of patients go to the CAAT center for assessment because they have a relatively short waitlist.

“Early intervention is the key to improving skill development,” Tuttle said. “Some families have to wait months or years before going in for assessment.

We try to keep our waitlist short, about six months, so families can start treatment as soon as possible.”

The Treatment Center is currently planning to expand services, improve training for students and partner with local organizations to increase autism awareness and promote early intervention.

Nutkins said the clinic is currently treating 19 children, ranging in ages two to 19. The clinic uses different forms of Applied Behavior Analysis to treat autism.

Whiting is excited to see how the grant helps the CAAT center expand.

“It gives us the chance to make an impact on the community,” Whiting said. “The best thing about it is the large potential to have make a beneficial impact on local kids in need. Obviously, we are trying to support the kids.”

The Dreamer Coffee Shop is ‘saved’ after $1,985 fundraiser

By Avery Jennings Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

After struggling with financial issues, The Dreamer Coffee Shop aims to get back on track using the $1,985 it earned from a Jan. 18 fundraiser.

Titled “Save the Dreamer,” the event attracted a large crowd of local musicians and volunteers to aid the business’ financial future.

One donor to the event was Harrison Township junior Olivia Cyman, for whom the coffee shop became a place of refuge in the wake of an abusive relationship.

“My friends would come here to meet with me and it was my place to get away from it all and be productive,” Cyman said. “(The Dreamer) is my second home.”

Central Michigan University students and Mount Pleasant residents attend the Save The Dreamer event on Jan. 18 at The Dreamer Coffee Shop.

Though she doesn’t know how much the money will help the business, manager Allie

Carpenter said it’s a great start toward getting the coffee shop back on track financially.

“(Finances) started going downhill a long time ago,” Carpenter said. “We were doing pretty well for a long time, but without our owner being here and being supported by him, it dragged things down.”

The Dreamer Coffee Shop has been in business for more than three years, opening its doors to the Mount Pleasant community on Sept. 23, 2014.

Ike Han, who owns The Dreamer, opened the business and rented the building after former tenant University Cup closed its doors. Han decided he would put his business studies to the test and open up the space as a new coffee shop.

“My goal to open the coffee shop was achieving one of my dreams — bring good coffee to (Central Michigan University) students and the Mount Pleasant community,” Han said.

“Then, helping more people to achieve their dreams, that’s why I named it The Dreamer.”

Management problems began after Han left for China in July 2017 when his student visa expired. The previous manager left around the same time and assistant manager Lauren Bindschatel and Carpenter taking

over where Han left off.

“We were handed a situation where we didn’t know anything about the shop,” Carpenter said.”We had to learn how to run the business without knowing anything about how to run the business, and not knowing what bills we were behind on, We just had to figure things out.”

Han wanted the coffee shop to “take care of itself ” when he left and get into a routine, Bindschatel said, but that didn’t happen.

“I still have interaction with him and I still talk to him, but I thought that’d it be more helpful than it ended up being overall,” Bindschatel said.

With the shop having to put more of its revenue toward bills instead of maintaining the store, it was forced to alter its menu.

“We never had an issue with having enough coffee in stock to make coffee for customers,” Carpenter said. “Now we can’t put as much (money) toward buying coffee to have a full menu all the time and that makes it hard for us to succeed as a business.

We just want to be able to serve everything all the time.”

Bindschatel and Carpenter are both optimistic about where The Dreamer will go from here.

“We have a good amount of followers that want to come here, that enjoy being here and I think a good team of people who like something can make it work,” Carpenter said. “I think with our staff and the people who love this coffee shop, we’ll be able to be there for something we all care about and that will have a huge impact on our business.”

Lake Orion senior Jonathan Lorts, who attended the Jan. 18 fundraiser, said he viewed The Dreamer’s financial issues as a scary sign for what is to come in Mount Pleasant.

“Coffee shops have really become the cultural hot spots of our time,” Lorts said. “By losing this place, the city will be losing a place for creative ideas to unite and an outlet for people to come together for good conversations.”

In regards to leadership for The Dreamer, the shop is in search of a new owner.

“We’re looking for someone with maybe a business degree,” Carpenter said. “I think this would be a good opportunity for a young business man, or woman, to come in and run this place.”

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

The following incidents were among those handled by the Central Michigan University Police Department and Mount Pleasant Police Department from Jan. 13-18.

JAN. 18 Allan Epperson, a 33-year-old Mount Pleasant man, was arrested for charges of domestic violence and strangulation, which is a 10year felony. Officer Jeff Browne of the Mount Pleasant Police Department said officers were dispatched to the 300 block of South Anna Street around 4 a.m. Browne said Epperson told police he was ready to go to jail and admitted to putting his hands on his wife and choking her. A 33-year-old Mount Pleasant woman told police she was choked and slammed against the wall and felt as if she was going to faint, Browne said. She had red marks on her neck. Police say they have no reason why it occurred.

JAN. 17 A 26-year-old Marion man and a 22-year-old Cadillac man were each arrested for disorderly conduct — fighting in public outside of Wayside Central around 2 a.m. The 22-year-old had a blood alcohol level of 0.09 percent, Browne said, while the 26-year-old was 0.15 percent. During this time, a 21-year-old Mount Pleasant man was arrested for disorderly conduct for trying to reenter the establishment. He began yelling and cursing and refusing to leave after he was told to go, Browne said. He had a blood alcohol level of 0.17 percent.

JAN. 16 CMUPD investigated a “suspicious situation” involving a text message at 4:30 p.m. Wassman

Man arrested after allegedly pulling pipe wrench on roommate holding machete said a 19-year-old woman received a text with its content along the lines of “I know everything about you and every place you go.” After police tracked the phone number, the woman told police she had previous issues with the sender of the text. Wassman said the sender of the text stalked the woman’s family member in another state.

Police told the sender of the text to “knock it off,” Wassman said. No criminal charges were filed.

JAN. 15 Eric Arnold, a 19-yearold Mount Clemens man, was arrested for possession of marijuana and smuggling contraband into a jail. After his vehicle was stopped for an equipment violation, Arnold admitted to having marijuana and smoking it, Browne said. There were 1.5 grams of marijuana found. When police transported Arnold to the Isabella County Jail, Browne said Arnold had 3.5 grams of marijuana in his sock.

Adam Bourland, a 21-yearold Mount Pleasant man, was arrested for a probation violation and possession of cocaine. A driver was pulled over for speeding, Browne said, around 11 p.m. on the 900 block of North Adams Street. After a traffic stop, police found less than a gram of cocaine in his possession.

A 28-year-old man reported a property damage complaint to CMUPD at 1:30 p.m. Wassman said there was a smashed pumpkin on his vehicle in lot 50, which is located between Emmons and Saxe halls. There was small scratch and no suspects, Wassman said.

A 23-year-old Ypsilanti man was arrested for operating while intoxicated around 2:30 a.m. Police observed a vehicle that struck a curb on Broomfield Road near Mission Street, Browne said. The driver said

he didn’t realize he hit the curb but admitted to drinking. The man had a blood alcohol level of 0.11 percent.

JAN. 14 Brett Coleman, a 29-year-old Mount Pleasant man, was arrested for felonious assault against a 55-year-old Mount Pleasant man.

This took place around 10 p.m. on the 1500 block of Portabella Trail. Coleman threatened his roommate with a pipe wrench if he didn’t let him use his phone, Browne said. The 55-year-old grabbed a machete in a sheath and told him to get out of his room, Browne said. After Coleman left, the roommate locked his door and called police, Browne said. When officers arrived, the machete was still in the sheath but police say Coleman had the pipe wrench.

JAN. 13 A 48-year-old Mount Pleasant man was arrested for charges including domestic violence and possession of marijuana. The incident took place around 8 p.m. on the 900 block of West Michigan Street. Browne said the man threw a fountain drink at his 18-year-old daughter and flipped over the couch she was sitting on after he learned that his daughter crashed his car. The daughter fell into an entertainment center and cut herself, Browne said. He added that alcohol was a nonfactor. The incident was turned over to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribal Court.

A 20-year-old Mount Pleasant man was arrested for aggravated assault and simple assault. Browne said the man was at Wayside Central around 1 a.m. Browne said the man bumped into a woman and started throwing punches. A 20-year-old woman, a 19-year-old woman, a 22-year-old woman and an 18-year-old woman — all from Midland — suffered injuries.

GREEKS, DEMAND A HIGHER STANDARD

Increased transparency, accountability key in keeping Greeks on campus

A

UNRECOGNIZED ORGANIZATIONS These fraternities have had their recognition revoked by Central Michigan University for various reasons, including, hazing, alcohol and drug abuse, risk management violations, and failure to comply with university policies.

SOURCE: GREEK LIFE ORGSYNC

ILLUSTRATION: CONNOR BYRNE

Theta Chi Alpha Chi Rho Lambda Chi Alpha Sigma Phi Epsilion Delta Chi Phi Kappa Tau Pi Kappa Phi

s of November 2017, there were seven suspended or unrecognized fraternities or sororities at Central Michigan University.

The most recent addition to that list is Phi Kappa Tau. On Jan. 15, the fraternity was suspended for student conduct violations involving underage drinking. The suspension lasts until 2021.

Tom Idema, director of the Office of Student Conduct, said the suspension was delivered with the hope that those students causing problems within the fraternity will graduate to provide a “clean slate” for the next generation of students interested in leading that organization.

That might solve the problem in one organization, but it isn’t going to fix the problem that’s existed for far too long in Greek Life.

Conduct issues are far more pervasive in our Greek culture than the bad behavior of just one organization. We’re not here to kick an organization when it’s down, but with every suspension Greeks are making the case that they are liabilities to CMU. We encourage fraternities to take this suspension as a wake-up call: get it together or risk being the generation that lost Greek Life at CMU. We know members of Greek Life who break the university’s student conduct code are a small percentage compared to those who thrive in the fellowship and philanthropic opportunities these groups offer. We also know that within the Greek community there is a culture of turning a blind eye to the misbehavior of some organizations instead of holding them accountable for reinforcing their worst stereotypes – hazing, underage drinking, harassment.

We urge the Interfraternity and Panhellenic councils to instead adopt a culture of transparency and accountability. We would like to hear

these Greek leaders, not university officials, more loudly and publicly condemn bad behavior and talk about the standards they want to see reflected in their fellow organizations.

On the national level, there is a serious conversation about the future of fraternities and sororities on college campuses. With scandals like the death of 19-year-old Timothy Piazza at Pennsylvania State University, 18-year-old Maxwell Gruver at Louisiana State University, 20-year-old Andrew Coffey at Florida State University and 20-year-old Matthew Ellis at Texas State University — it’s not difficult to see why.

And those are just deaths from 2017.

So what will it take? Will it take a Greek dying at CMU for us to be more proactive in holding each other accountable? For not following the rules laid out by the university?

We hold our students in Greek Life to a high standard because we know they can meet that standard. We know you are outstanding students, and high-profile student leaders. We know, and often report on, the good you do for this community.

Don’t encourage over indulging in alcohol or underage drinking. Continue your anti-hazing training and bring what you learn back into your houses.

According to USA Today, as of Jan. 18 eight universities across the U.S. have suspended all Greek Life operations until they can determine if their fraternities and sororities pose a substantial risk to students on campus.

Could this be the year CMU joins that list?

That’s in our hands. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen here.

Take some time to live 'the best years of your life' My father always told me, “high school and college are the best eight years of your life.”

That is not always the case. Sometimes you can be in school longer than you imagined. Sometimes it could be nine years, or 12 — or who knows.

What I know is — he is right. For most of us, these are our prime years.

Nothing will ever get better than this.

This May, fingers crossed, I will receive my degree from Central Michigan University. I will find a job that requires me to work 40 hours a week like any other person.

And I will spend the next days, weeks, months and years reminiscing about college and what I did, and could have done.

That is why I am using my final semester at CMU to take everything in.

I advise my fellow prospective graduates to do the same.

Luckily, working at Central Michigan

Evan Sasiela

University Editor

Life has allowed me to explore the campus community throughout the last four years. But there are still a lot of things I haven’t done.

I’ve never been in the hot tub at the Student Activity Center or eaten in Robinson Residential Restaurant. I’ve never been to a play at the Bush Theatre — and I apologize. There are so many buildings I haven’t even entered.

Of course, there are different activities and events I have done. I will always love heading to the Bird Bar & Grill on a Thursday night and watching a crowd of people sprint to the bar to order their favorite $2 double, while my friend

waits hours upon hours to hear “Lips of an Angel” by Hinder on the jukebox.

I will also cherish going to Wayside Central — going from wild-eyed freshman trying to have fun in 2014 to feeling like the old man at the bar as a senior.

I will make an attempt to watch the great sporting events CMU Athletics has to offer, and I want to go to some more games this year. You should also — you’re paying for it.

I want to take long strolls through campus — mainly to the Down Under Food Court to enjoy some Papa John’s Pizza.

This campus has a lot to offer in so little time. When I came to CMU in August 2014, I had a lot of ambition and wanted to see and do as much as I can. As the finish line approaches, I see myself looking back on what I could have done.

But it’s not over. As of Jan. 21, there are 14 official weeks left in the Spring 2018 semester. It is going to go by in the blink of an eye. Just think about how

fast last semester blew by. For us seniors and prospective graduates, time only goes by faster.

So don’t shy away from it — but embrace it. There is going to be a time to be an adult and get a full-time job before preparing who to vote for in the 2018 elections. You can set yourself up for the post-graduate world.

But now is the time to be a kid. You are going to make mistakes: Learn from them and have some fun during your collegiate experience.

To the underclassmen reading this, be sure to relish the opportunities CMU has to offer during your time here. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.

And to the graduates, in the midst of post-graduate planning, take some time to call your friend and enjoy your final college memories together.

Don’t let your time go to waste.

These are the best years of your life.

EDITOR

Make campus safer by increasing amount of Blue Lights TO THE EDITOR: Since we are in the winter months, it tends to get dark outside very quickly. It is already pitch black out by 6 p.m.

With this darkness comes the fear of students walking around campus at night.

I can’t speak for every other student here at Central Michigan University, but I can speak for myself and many other girls: It is terrifying to walk alone at night.

I know that CMU has “blue lights” around campus for emergencies that connect you to the CMU Police Department, but throughout my time here so far, I believe we need to increase the number and accessibility of blue lights.

As I was walking home from the Charles V. Park Library one night last week with my roommate, we decided to pay close attention to the number of blue lights we saw along our walk. We were shocked to realize that on our walk from the library to the Towers residence halls, we only saw two blue lights. This is about a 10-minute walk across campus.

If we want to ensure the safety of the students here at CMU, I would hope to see more blue lights around campus.

CMU’s website lists the locations of blue lights around campus. I found out there are only 26 blue lights to cover a campus that is 480 acres. That is only about one light for every

18 acres. So, statistically speaking, if you felt threatened while walking alone, you would have to run quite a bit to find a blue light. Also, you would most likely be lugging around a heavy backpack that would make it harder to run the long distance.

The locations of the already existing lights are hard to see. Most of them are on the back sides of buildings and not out in the open for easy access. The new lights should be placed right next to the sidewalks with a brighter light that makes them more visible.

If these lights are easier to see for students walking across campus, it would make all of us feel a lot safer walking around at night.

With all of the money we pay to go

to school here, we earn the right to feel safe walking around campus.

To make this happen, students should come together to let the school know that we don’t feel safe walking around campus. CMU police could help us by installing more blue lights around campus in more visible locations.

This is a simple project that could be pricey but won’t take long at all to complete. In the long run, the benefits of the feeling of safety for the students who live here outweigh the issue of money. I hope you will all come together with me to demand change on this issue.

Madison Lux Cadillac, freshman

‘WE WILL PUSH BACK’

Thousands rally Sunday for Women's March on Lansing

By Emma Dale Community Editor

L

ANSING — A sea of pink hats, protest signs and passionate chants filled the front lawn of the Michigan State Capitol at the 2018 Women’s March on Lansing: Power to the Polls event.

Thousands gathered Jan. 21 in Lansing to mark the one-year anniversary of the 2017 Women’s March in Washington, D.C. that followed President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Similar marches were organized around the nation attracting millions of participants in cities like Lansing.

This year’s speakers focused on the power of women and the power of the voting. The event attracted Democratic politicians hoping to pull voters for the 2018 election. One such politician was Shri Thanedar, a scientist who is now running for governor of Michigan.

“I want to make a difference,” Thanedar said.

“What I saw in Flint, Michigan — when our own state government poisoned our own citizens — that’s when I really felt that its time for me to do the next thing. I have achieved my American dream, but the American dream is fading more so in Michigan than any other place.”

With an afternoon featuring 14 speakers, women gave their takes on different issues such as sexual assault, equal pay for women, the current political climate and immigration.

Speakers included: • Nicole Denson, associate director of Advocacy Services for the WC SAFE sexual assault program • Jeynce Poindexter, Transgender Victims Advocate for Equality Michigan • Lilianna Reyes, program services director of Michigan’s largest LGBT Community Center, Affirmations • Emily Durbin, Michigan chapter leader, Moms Demand Action • LaShawn Erby, co-chapter lead and co-founding member of Black Lives Matter Lansing

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | JAN. 22, 2018 Engaging with speakers, the crowd consistently shouted chants such as “Donald Trump has got to go” and “this is what democracy looks like.”

Phoebee Hopps, president and founder of Women’s March Michigan said how honored and amazed she was by the spirit and turnout of the crowd. She noted the beginning of the Women’s March Michigan was the beginning of a global movement for change.

“My feminism and my movement is inclusive of all women,” Hopps said. “This is not a celebration or a parade Michigan women, this is the beginning of the fight of our lives.”

Hopps called out politicians in office who are not working for women and children. She challenged them by saying on election day, protestors will bring strength and power to the polls.

“We are coming for you,” she said. “(In) 2018 we have this. I believe that we can win.”

After attending the march in Washington, D.C. last year Stephani Farmer of Grand Rapids came to the rally to experience it with her husband and children. Her five-year-old daughter, Hadley could be seen sitting on her shoulders holding a sign that said “I am the future.”

“It’s important for all of our kids, not just our daughters, to be able to come out and see what it means to stand up for what you believe in — equality, not just women’s rights, rights for everybody,” Farmer said. “I want my kids to grow up in a world where they’re not restricted in how they want to live.”

Nicole Denson spoke and shared that she was a sexual assault survivor.

“I want to live in a society where we don’t have a ‘Me Too’ movement,” she said. “We need to bring power to the polls so there won’t be another Weinstein, R. Kelly or Trump.”

Denson proceeded to ask the audience to put their fists in the air for sexual assault survivors.

“We believe you,” the crowd and Denson chanted.

While there were no counter protesters, few in the crowd offered dissenting opinions.

Loren Darling, 35, of East Lansing, stood with several others advocating for the Michigan Right to Life movement. “(I came here to show) love for pre-born people who don’t have a voice,” he said. “I am not a Trump supporter, I don’t think he’s qualified to run the country.”

President Trump’s administration is what brought

Pilar Gonzales, 63, of Port Huron, to the event.

“If I could look at (Trump) face to face I would tell him to walk a mile in my moccasins,” he said. “(He need’s) to feel what it is like to have no security.”

With the political climate disseminating into the speeches, immigration was brought up by Cindy Garcia who shared her husband was deported on Monday after living in U.S. since he was 10 years old. While she spoke with her two children by her side, activists of Michigan United sat on the front steps of the capitol with signs that read “stop separating families.”

People responded to her with chanting “not my president.”

CMYOU Campus news, student perspectives

JAN. 22, 2018 | CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM

“What do you think about the recent changes to minor-in-possession laws?”

A new law went into effect Jan. 1 that reclassifies first-offense minor in possession of alcohol charges from a criminal misdemeanor to a civil infraction. That means a first offense wouldn’t go on the minor’s criminal record, and holding a

fine of $100 as opposed to the former misdemeanor fine of $500 and up to 90 days in jail.

Central Michigan Life asked Central Michigan University students their opinions of the new laws.

Courtney Waldick, Walled Lake freshman

Dylan Flanigan, St. Clair Shores senior

Faith Gray, Grand Ledge senior

Kyleigh Rodriguez, Laingsburg freshman

“I think the changes are a much better way of handling things — I believe that a person caught with alcohol shouldn’t be held to the standards of a criminal.”

“Making (the laws) not as severe is a better standard. Of course, we need to push not having (minors) do things that could injure themselves, but we don’t need to punish them that much for doing it — we need to help correct the attitude, not hurt the person.”

“I feel like (the law) gives students a better chance to just learn from their mistakes — maybe they’d actually learn something instead of just paying off the money that they owe, and maybe they’d have a life-change instead of just being angry.”

“It should stay a criminal misdemeanor, because if someone’s dumb enough to get caught with (alcohol), then they should pay the price for whatever they’re doing — obviously they don’t know how to handle their alcohol.”

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | JAN. 22, 2018

Vocal leadership, defense needed for men's basketball to succeed The identity of the 2017-18 Central Michigan men’s basketball team has been clear since its preseason Maroon and Gold scrimmage.

“We know if we want to win, it starts on the defensive end,” head coach Keno Davis said.

“We needed improvements from last season.

This team does have scorers, in order to win we have to play better defense.”

From that point on, it would prove to be correct, until Mid-American Conference play.

CMU needs to stay adamant on defense to earn conference wins.

The Chippewas had the best nonconference record (11-2) in program history and were holding teams to about 60 points per game.

The defense made a monumental step from a season ago when they allowed 87.7 points per game — a mark that was last in the MAC and ranked 345th in the nation among Division I schools.

They were applying more ball pressure, rebounding better and playing with a sense of urgency to prove they had improved on the defensive end through the first 13 games.

Now CMU finds itself earning its first conference win after a four-game skid.

The Chippewas started MAC play with an excellent win over Ohio, 75-50 — exploding in the second half and not allowing the Bobcats to breathe on offense. CMU forced Ohio to shoot 35.7 percent from the field and 15 percent (3-of-20) from 3-point range.

It looked like the same team was going to continue through MAC play. But CMU's defense faltered in the next four games.

The Chippewas have allowed more than 80 points in three of their last four losses and are now allowing 68.8 points per game, which still leads the MAC but may be misleading based on their recent performances.

They are falling off of ball screens, allowing more open 3-pointers and teams are finding ways to probe the zones and defenses Davis is running.

A lot of that seems to be coming from the Chippewas' effort on defense.

Davis said he is “proud” of his team for only losing by two possessions when nearly the entire team had “terrible” stat lines besides senior forward Luke Meyer and sophomore guard Kevin McKay after the loss to Ball State on Jan. 16.

It’s not like CMU is getting blown out. The Chippewas have been in most of the games they've lost in conference play.

Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter

UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT Listen to Andrew McDonald, Evan Petzold and Alayna Hess discuss the projected Detroit Lions’ new head coach and the Michigan/Michigan State men’s basketball game.

Catch a new show every Wednesday on cm-life.com, iTunes or Soundcloud.

Those kind of excuses can only get you so far.

At some point, the end result needs to be wins.

This team lacks one major asset that most college basketball teams need to turn around a season when it goes bad — a vocal leader.

Senior forward Cecil Williams does it all for this team on the stat sheet, but has never been loud on the floor. Junior guard Shawn Roundtree said he was working on becoming more of a vocal leader earlier this year, but still hasn't quite shown it.

One player I have noticed getting animated when they go into a timeout huddle after big possessions is sophomore forward David DiLeo. That same energy is needed when CMU falls behind, though.

This team needs someone.

The defense is there. We’ve seen it before, but someone needs to hold the rest of the team accountable.

Otherwise, CMU is going to run out of time to win a MAC title.

It’s no secret, Davis and the players know it, this team has to be good defensively to win games. The proof is in its record.

It is time from someone to make a statement, just maybe this time off the court rather than on it.

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

USA TODAY GIVES CMU FOOTBALL “B” GRADE FOR 2017 SEASON PERFORMANCE USA Today gave head coach John Bonamego's third season with the Central Michigan football team a “B” for the 2017 season.

USA Today hands out college football grades for all 130 Division I FBS teams following the season.

Other Mid-American Conference teams earning a B included Northern Illinois and Ohio.

Toledo was the highest ranked MAC team, earning an A. Toledo head coach Jason Candle signed a six-year contract extension worth more than $1 million per year in December.

Besides the Rockets, Akron was the only other team graded higher than CMU with a B+.

The Chippewas finished the season 8-5

and 6-2 in the MAC, losing to Syracuse, Miami (Ohio), Boston College, Toledo and Wyoming.

The 34-17 loss to the Cowboys came in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Dec. 22.

CMU had nine players named to an All-MAC Team this season, including cornerback Amari Coleman, defensive end Joe Ostman, wide receiver Corey Willis, running back Jonathan Ward, safety Josh Cox, linebacker Malik Fountain, tight end Tyler Conklin, wide receiver Mark Chapman and offensive lineman J.P. Quinn.

USA Today gave Ball State and Kent State a D grade and Bowling Green an F. Those three programs were the lowestranked teams in the MAC. -Evan Petzold, Staff Reporter

FORMER ENOS HIRE MOORE TO COACH TIGHT ENDS AT UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN Following a four-year stint in Mount Pleasant, Central Michigan assistant head coach, recruiting coordinator and tight ends coach Sherrone Moore is headed to the University of Michigan.

Moore will be an assistant coach to Jim Harbaugh in Ann Arbor, expected to take over as the tight ends coach for the Wolverines.

Greg Frey, Michigan's former tackles and tight ends coach, departed for Florida State earlier this month.

CMU’s tight ends, led by senior Tyler Conklin, made 40 receptions for 547 yards and six touchdowns in the 2017 season.

Conklin logged 28 catches for 406 yards and five scores in the 2017 season.

Before coming to Mount Pleasant, Moore coached five seasons at Louisville. He was a graduate assistant for three years and the tight ends coach for the final two years.

During his time as the tight ends coach, the Cardinals went 23-3.

Moore played two seasons at

Oklahoma as an offensive lineman, appearing in 14 games at offensive guard.

He helped the Sooners win two Big 12 Conference championships and played in back-to-back BCS bowl games. Before his time at Oklahoma, Moore was a twoyear starter at Butler County Community College.

Former CMU head coach Dan Enos was hired by Michigan on Jan. 8 to join Harbaugh's offensive staff. Enos is currently listed as the wide receivers coach.

Moore was hired by Enos prior to the 2014 season at CMU. Following the 2014 season, Enos left the Chippewas for the offensive coordinator job at Arkansas.

In December, Moore was selected to participate in the “35 Under 35” Coaches Leadership Institute. Michigan running backs coach Jay Harbaugh was also selected for the program.

an MRI on Jan. 20 to find out the severity of the injury.

Redshirt freshman Blake Montrie (157) was pinned by No. 4 Joey Lavallee three minutes into the match, giving the Tigers a 15-3 advantage into the intermission.

Sophomore Logan Parks (165) fell to Connor Flynn 7-3, dropping Parks record to 12-9 on the season.

Seniors CJ Brucki (174) and Jordan Ellingwood (184) each dropped their respective bouts via major decision. No. 15 Brucki (16-9) fell to No. 4 Daniel Lewis, 9-1, while No. 13 Ellingwood (19-7) fell to Canten Marriott, 9-1.

Junior Jordan Atienza (197) fell to No. 7 Willie Miklus 7-2. Atienza's record now sits at 14-9. "(Missouri) will be in the (MAC) Tournament in a month and a half from now," Borrelli said.

Former All-American and junior wrestler Justin Oliver did not return to the bench after injuring his right knee in Central Michigan wrestling's 29-6 loss to No. 3 Missouri on Jan. 19 in McGuirk Arena.

Missouri broke CMU's four-match win streak.

CMU fell to 5-4 on the season with a 2-1 record in Mid-American Conference duals. Missouri improved to 15-0, and 6-0 in the MAC. The Chippewas only won two of 10 individual matches.

"Hopefully (the team is) embarrassed and they can handle some adversity," said head coach Tom Borrelli.

Redshirt freshman Drew Hildebrandt (125 pound weight class) and Matt Stencel (heavyweight) were the only two CMU wrestlers to win their individual matches.

Hildebrandt knocked off redshirt senior Barlow McGhee 5-4 with a last-minute takedown. Stencel, who earned win No. 21 this season, defeated redshirt freshman Jake Bohlken, 9-2. "(Missouri) is a good team. We felt like we could get them in a few spots," Borrelli said.

"It didn't work out for us. I think we're a little better than how we performed."

The Chippewas were without No. 14-ranked Colin Heffernan, who suffered a shoulder injury in December at the Cliff Keen Invitational

in Las Vegas. He has injured this shoulder before, but Borrelli and Heffernan were hopeful for a quick return.

"Those were two matches (141, 149) that were real important for us, especially without having Heffernan in the lineup," Borrelli said.

"We felt like we could get them in a few spots and it just didn't work out."

Heffernan is ranked No. 2 in the MAC despite the injury.

MATCH RESULTS Redshirt freshman Dresden Simon (133) fell 6-4 to No. 7 John Erneste, dropping his record to 14-12.

No. 9 ranked Mason Smith (141) fell to No. 3 Jayden Eirman (21-1) 6-0. Oliver (149) dropped his third match of the season to No. 11 Grant Leeth, 3-1.

"Those were two matches that were really important," Borrelli said. "We had to (win) those matches."

RIVALRY HISTORY CMU has a 3-9-1 record against Missouri in program history, with its last win coming in January 2013. CMU lost 16-15 the following season.

From 1997-2012, the Chippewas won 14 of 15 MAC Tournament Championships. Since Missouri entered the MAC after the 2012 season, the Tigers have won the MAC Tournament for five straight years.

Missouri has never lost a MAC Tournament in conference history.

The Chippewas have three more conference dual meets before finishing the regular season at Michigan. The MAC Tournament takes place in McGuirk Arena March 3-4.
