COURT DATE FOR FORMER SGA PRESIDENT ELLIOTT RESCHEDULED FOR DEC. 3 Originally scheduled for Nov. 16, the court date for a former Central Michigan University student accused of sexual misconduct and sexual assault has been delayed until Dec. 3.

Ian Elliott, 24, of Cheboygan, was due back in court on Friday after motion to reinstate a case against him and resume proceedings was filed by Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette on Oct. 31.

The court date has since been rescheduled to 1:15 p.m. Dec. 3, said Megan Hawthorne, press secretary for the attorney general. At the Dec. 3 hearing, Judge

IAN ELLIOTT

Mark H. Duthie will make a decision on the motion filed by Schuette to determine if the case will be reopened,

Hawthorne said.

Elliott previously served as president of the CMU Student Government Association during the fall semester of 2016.

Elliott was originally charged with two felony

counts of sexual misconduct in the third degree and one felony count of assault with attempt to penetrate following an incident occurring on Sept. 1, 2016, where Elliott allegedly sexually assaulted CMU graduate student Rachel Wilson.

A trial was previously scheduled for May 7, 2018, but the case was dismissed by the Isabella County Prosecuting Office on April 6, 2018.

An open letter to Governor-elect Gretchen Whitmer EDITORIAL Dear Governor-elect Gretchen Whitmer, Congratulations on winning the 2018 Midterm Election and being elected to serve as Michigan’s 49th governor.

We wish you luck as you prepare to take office, and we’re eager to see what changes you’ll make in our state over the next four years.

We endorsed you because we believe you are the best choice for Michiganders and college students in particular. Clearly, the majority of the state agrees that you are the governor we need.

Throughout your 12-year political career, you have stuck to your strong democratic values and fought for the issues you believed in. Your gubernatorial campaign was no different – you made it clear you will reform education, clean our drinking water and fix the damn roads. However, as you begin the next four years, there are a few issues we’d like you to keep in mind.

COLLEGE COST AND DEBT Throughout your gubernatorial campaign, you emphasized that you plan to to reform public education by providing “quality education from cradle to career.”

It’s a well thought-out plan, but it doesn’t focus very much on college education and the debt that results from it.

Your education plan details how you plan to “phase in” quality universal pre-school in Michigan, as well as tripling the number of state literacy coaches, and adding more counselors, social workers, school nurses, school security, nutritious meals and safe transportation. This is great for families with school-age children, and one day it will benefit us college students when we start having children and families of our own — but that’s not what we’re worried about right now.

It’s not a secret that higher education is expensive. Michigan college students often graduate with tens of thousands of dollars in debt; some even drop out because they can’t afford tuition. This is a problem. We should not be subjected to crippling debt simply

because we want quality higher education and good paying jobs.

You also plan to create the MI Opportunity Scholarship, a twoyear, debt-free plan that will help to ensure high school graduates receive well-paying jobs, whether college is the right choice for them or not. The MI Opportunity Scholarships could potentially be used at skilled training programs, community colleges and four-year universities.

This scholarship is a good start.

During your time as governor, don’t forget about the thousands of hard-working Michigan college students struggling with debt and the high cost of their education.

SEXUAL ASSAULT We know that as Michigan’s governor, you will defend women’s rights to make decisions about their bodies. Your plan ‘Getting

It Done: Protecting Roe v. Wade in Michigan’ details how you’ll do this. We like that you want to ensure access to abortion and contraception and fix our inadequate sexual education laws.

However, you must address the pressing issue of sexual assault.

After Ingham’s County Prosecutor resigned in 2016, you took office and cracked down on sexual assault. You established a Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Unit designed to go after abusers and asked the Michigan State Police to investigate the integrity of the county’s evidence room.

As our governor, we hope to see you immediately begin to implement programs like this on a statewide level. Sexual assault affects thousands of Michiganders, college students in particular.

One in every four college-aged women will be sexually assault

during their time in school, and Michigan is no exception.

We hope to see you fight campus sexual assault, and fight to ensure sexual assault survivors receive the justice they deserve.

WAT ER QUALITY As the Flint Water Crisis is on its third year, we hope water quality in our fresh lakes state will begin to be a priority to you as our new governor. Just recently, PFAS or per and polyfluoroalkyl substances, has become an issue in Michigan, affecting cities across the state. Even in Mount Pleasant, PFAS was found at an old refinery location.

We care about the water we are consuming. Water is life. We need you to make sure this isn’t only addressed, but fixed. The education, employment and infrastructure in this state won’t matter if our citi-

zens are sick or unable to consume their own water.

During your campaign, you spoke out against Line 5 and said you believe it should be shut down.

Any Michigander will tell you that one of Michigan’s best qualities is the Great Lakes-- as our governor, we hope you protect them. When you’re in office, please make it a priority to protect our lakes and shut down Line 5.

We hope you, Gretchen Whitmer, will be able to take all of these issues you campaigned on and make the solutions a reality for the state of Michigan.

Too many college students leave the state after they graduate. Make Michigan a place we young people are eager to stay in and raise our children in.

Make it a safe, affordable place to live. Make Michigan a place everyone can love living in.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | NOV. 15, 2018

Governor-elect, passed proposals make Michigan blue With Gretchen Whitmer’s gubernatorial victory and the passing of all three ballot proposals, things in Michigan are about to change – hopefully drastically.

While she’s not the most exciting candidate, Whitmer’s triumph in the face of misogynistic campaign ads speaks volumes about the future of the state.

Whitmer’s way forward is a lot clearer than many speculate. Don’t expect sweeping progressive legislation. Don’t expect Medicare for all, free college or drastic prison reform.

What we can expect are small steps toward these things. For example, we won’t get Medicare for all, but preexisting conditions appear safe.

We won’t get free college, but trade schools could be more accessible and student loan refinancing and forgiveness is on the horizon.

We won’t get sweeping prison reform and non-violent drug offenders won’t be released because proposition one was passed, but people will no longer go to jail for using marijuana

Jeremy Agosta Staff Reporter

recreationally.

Whitmer doesn’t need to be a progressive champion —she wasn’t elected to be.

If Whitmer is going to do anything, she better makes our roads a whole hell of a lot better, because she didn’t really campaign on anything else.

That campaign promise reflects a lot on Whitmer. I believe she won because the Michigan Republican party was left in shambles by Snyder, and its 2018 candidate had as much personality as a rock.

I am not exaggerating. A local Republican official told me on election night he thought Bill Schuette needed a lot of help showing his personality, but wouldn’t take it.

Am I surprised Whitmer won?

Absolutely. Her almost 9 percent win shows me Michigan is ready to be

blue.

As of Nov. 7, Michigan will no longer put adults in jail for using marijuana recreationally. The state moved to reduce gerrymandering and ensured Michiganders have the right to vote as easily as possible.

Those three simple things, along with a moderate Democrat governor, are a first step in helping Michigan compete nationally. These steps prove we can achieve a better future for our children, and make Michigan a state I want to stay in.

I whole heartedly predict that Michigan will continue to move left.

In 2020, the Democrats will show us what they can do in the midwest to wrestle local and federal control back from Republicans. The Republican party that has cut taxes for the rich, lied about support for preexisting conditions and actively worked to prevent Americans from voting.

Michigan Democrats haven’t had a decent election season since 2012.

Hopefully, 2018 set the stage for more to come.

Stop saying ‘It’s a dangerous time to be a man’ — it’s not It’s not a dangerous time to be a man.

Our president and other political figures have gone as far to say men should be worried because women now have the power to destroy their lives and reputations.

The emergence of the #HimToo on Twitter and Facebook has people talking about how their sons and male friends are afraid to be alone with women. They claim men are having a difficult time navigating dates, attending social gatherings or even talking to women in general because of an unfounded fear women will falsely accuse them of sexual misconduct.

Essentially, they’re saying, “Men now have to be hyper-attentive to their interactions with women and be aware of getting a false impression that will lead to unwanted advances, because now women will actually say something.”

We men now have to face the daily reality almost every woman in America faces.

Ask your girlfriend, like I did, how many times a day they monitor their smiles, arm position, laughs and words at work just so someone doesn’t get “the wrong impression.”

I asked a few female friends how

Elio Stante Columnist

many times a drunk guy was overly aggressive with them, to the point they felt uncomfortable and left a party.

Maybe even ask your mom, like I did, if when she was in college and had to walk home late at night, how many times did she put her keys in between her fingers.

I can even tell you how many times women have been overly aggressive with me when I’ve been drunk – zero.

I can tell you exactly how many times I’ve felt scared walking home alone at night – zero.

There was even a story in Central Michigan Life about a student here at CMU, who was at a bar and had a drug slipped into her drink. She was then taken by a man, who she barely knew, to his house and then raped.

I can tell you how many times I’ve had to watch my drink at a party be-

cause someone might slip something into it, or even had that thought cross my mind – absolutely zero.

This notion that “it’s now a dangerous time to be a man” is ridiculous.

I’m not naïve, nor do I believe no woman will falsely accuse someone.

Most major studies on rape accusations point to somewhere between 2 and 8 percent are false or unfounded. And if this is what some people are afraid of — reality paints a different picture.

A real accusation, with real evidence, didn’t even make it to court.

Ian Elliot, CMU’s former Student Government Association President, was arrested, but never went to trial.

He started a business and is walking free, while his accuser is still facing the damages of his actions.

There’s no danger of false accusations destroying men, or even real accusations.

Newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was accused by three women of sexual misconduct. His history showed a pattern of heavy drinking and becoming overly aggressive when drunk and his college roommates and classmates confirmed as much about his behavior.

His nomination was never really

ever in jeopardy and he was still confirmed despite of the allegations against him.

Actor/director James Franco has been accused by five women of sexually inappropriate and exploitative behavior. People on set of his movies and TV shows have corroborated the accusations against him.

Franco’s career is largely unaffected and he’s still at the top of Hollywood fame.

Our president was elected even after several women came forward to accuse him of sexual harassment. There’s literal evidence of him bragging about forcibly kissing and groping women on tape, of which he is accused.

He still enjoys large support. He’s still the president.

Men still control all major levels of government, industry, entertainment, news and politics. The system is still rigged in men’s favor.

I have to say guys, it is not, has not been, nor will it ever be a “dangerous time to be a man.”

In the #MeToo era, men are not the victims. It’s not a dangerous time to be a man.

It’s dangerous to be a man who has harassed or assaulted a woman.

It should be.

‘LONG OVERDUE’ SGA addresses sexual assault for first time at its Nov. 12 meeting

By Melissa Frick Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Rosie Bauman | Staff Photographer Survivor Rachel Wilson speaks at an SGA meeting Nov 12 in the Bovee University Center Auditorium.

What has been left unsaid by previous administrations, was addressed Nov. 12 by Central Michigan University’s Student Government Association. The organization, for the first time in its history, took a stand against sexual assault.

SGA invited graduate student and sexual assault survivor Rachel Wilson to share her experiences and to speak about the “bystander effect” that has played a role in addressing sexual assault at CMU. “Consent is not enough, it should be a given,” Wilson said. “CMU lacks a community of peers that looks out for one another and holds each other accountable.”

Wilson asserted that former administrative members of SGA failed the student body in choosing not to address the university about charges brought forward against Ian Elliott, who served as SGA president from August to December of 2016.

Elliott resigned as President on Dec. 5, 2016. SGA published on social media that he resigned “due to personal reasons and opportunities.”

Elliott was originally charged with two felony counts of sexual misconduct in the third degree and one felony count of assault with attempt to penetrate. The incident happened on Sept. 1, 2016, where Elliott allegedly sexually assaulted Wilson.

“Those in active roles in SGA during this time were aware of accusations brought against a student, and chose to say nothing,” Wilson said.

Previous SGA administrations had discussed making the possibility of making a statement condemning sexual assault at that time, but ultimately voted against doing so, said SGA Vice President

Lyndi Rose.

“Nobody (in SGA) was protecting (Elliott),” she said.

“The decision was based on the fact that there were only charges in place against him, and there hadn’t been a verdict yet. They were trying to remain unbiased in the situation.”

After Wilson’s story was shared by Central Michigan Life, SGA President Jake Hendricks and Rose decided it was time to finally address the issue.

Wilson stated that it took “tremendous bravery” for SGA to admit what former administrations could have done differently.

“The current members of SGA were brave enough to admit the faults of previous members, and are working towards making right what others wronged,” Wilson said.

“This level of honesty and transparency is what allows for growth to occur.”

Aside from stating that addressing sexual assault was “long overdue within this organization,” SGA did not offer comment on Elliott or the decisions made by former administrations in the Nov. 12 address.

STAMP OUT AGGRESSION Senate Leader Caroline Murray announced the launch of SGA’s campaign, “Stamp Out Aggression,” that will begin Nov. 12 and continue into 2019.

The campaign aims to promote resources available on campus -- such as SAPA, OCRIE and the CMU Counseling Center -- as well as educate students on how to have “tough conversations” about sexual aggression.

Murray explained that this campaign will be SGA’s “action piece” against sexual assault. The organization will push to promote discussions and raise awareness of resources available on campus.

Until the end of this semester, SGA will launch its education

advocacy efforts, which will take place via social media.

“We want to flood our social media with resources,” Murray said. SGA will post about campus safety and sexual aggression education.

In January 2019, a “Bystander Dialogue” event will take place to promote discussion on how to intervene in situations of sexual aggression and how to not be a bystander. More details will come later in the year as the event is finalized.

The campaign will culminate with SGA’s “Pledge Against Sexual Aggression” that will take place in February 2019.

The pledge asks for voices of those on the campus of CMU to condemn sexual aggression.

“Spread the word, have the tough conversations with people, and take the pledge in February,” Murray urged.

SGA’s address was part of a campus-wide effort condemning sexual assault that has gained momentum this year. “(Sexual assault) is something that happens right here on out campus,” Rose said. “We ask that you stand with SGA when we say that the Student Government Association does not condone sexual assault.”

In an open letter to CMU, President Robert O. Davies said he recently appointed a Presidential Title IX Advisory Board that will aim to ensure transparency and provide education and support services.

The Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity has introduced the #ConsentIsCentral campaign and added staff to process complaints more quickly and expand its services.

“One voice can create a ripple, but voices raised in numbers can create waves,” Wilson said. “We are all a part of this, whether our lives have been affected by sexual assault or not. We either support this cause and take action, or we choose to do nothing.”

City commission working toward police oversight Commission also discussed treating Beal City’s wastewater, protecting Chip River

By Amalia Kalergis Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

“Would the people in the audience who came to support this proposal please raise your hand,” asked Mount Pleasant resident Joyce Hendricks during the public input section of the Nov. 12 Mount Pleasant City Commission meeting.

About 30 Mount Pleasant community members and Central Michigan University students raised their hands in unison, showing the significance of a proposal that would enhance the communication between police officers and the community.

The Mount Pleasant City Commission went on to formally receive and approve the proposal to establish a Citizen Advisory Board, making it an item on the upcoming Nov. 27 agenda.

There have been less than six complaints filed against the police department in each of the last four or five years, City Manager Nancy Ridley said.

“This could mean three things: there are no conduct issues, people do not know how to file complaints when they have them or people are fearful of filing a complaint,” she said. “There is probably a combination of all three.”

Ridley described the establishment of the board as a “good first step.” She said it would enhance dialogue between local law enforcement and Mount Pleasant minorities and would investigate how complaints are handled and where they come from.

A member of the Mount Pleasant Area Diversity Group said the proposal was made in response to the Black Lives Matter movement and rising tensions between police officers and minority communities in the nation.

Over the previous few days,

the comments received by the city commission were mostly positive, Commissioner William Joseph said.

Commissioner Tony Kulick however, strongly opposed the establishment of the board.

“There is an advantage in increasing communication, but I feel like this is a solution looking for a problem that does not exist in our community,” Kulick said.

His comments warranted scoffs from members of CMU’s Office of Inclusion and Diversity.

The proposal passed 6-1.

Next, the commission will take the appropriate steps to re-word the proposal so that expectations are met and acted upon, Ridley said.

T REATING BEA L CIT Y’S WAST EWAT ER Beal City — an area of Isabella Township not governed by the local municipal corporation — wants to utilize extra capacity within the Mount Pleasant Wastewater Treatment Plant by sending their residential strength waste to the plant to be treated.

At a Nov. 12 Mount Pleasant City Commission meeting, commissioners showed support for the project that would result in less waste being discharged into the Chippewa River, a 91.8-mile stream that flows directly through the city of Mount Pleasant.

Pete Lorenz of Lorenz Surveying and Engineering said the township found out that Mount Pleasant had extra capacity in its wastewater treatment plant.

Commissioner Kulick said there are two reasons for the extra capacity: Union Township recently built their own plant and Central Michigan University has been more sustainable the last decade, reducing their waste with low-flow toilets and water.

“Even if we took on this

capacity, we would be able to take on more waste if we were to further develop,” Kulick said.

Lorenz said the preferred option would include constructing a sewer force main— a pressurized sewer pipe that would run from Beal City to the Mount Pleasant treatment plant.

“There is great benefit for (Mount Pleasant) in doing this,” Lorenz said. “It would save Isabella Township duplicating a service that already is offered by Mount Pleasant, and it eliminates the need for the township to hire additional personnel and eliminates an additional discharge into (the Chippewa River).”

The commission was in support of the project.

“I think it is within our obligation to protect the Chippewa River and be good neighbors with Nottawa Township,” said City Commissioner Kristin LaLonde.

When asked if there are any negative effects of the project, City Manager Nancy Ridley said there are no foreseen downsides or costs.

“We have not been able to find any downsides,” Ridley said. “What we would charge for the waste that comes in would cover the cost of the treatment.”

FUNDING A LLOCAT ED TO PASSENGER T RAIN STUDY A study will be conducted to decide whether or not Mount Pleasant is suited for a passenger train.

The train would run from Ann Arbor to Traverse City, making a stop somewhere within Mount Pleasant.

Gillis said she envisions Parcel B — a plot of land adjacent to, and west of, Mount Pleasant City Hall — used to build a hotel near the train station. From there, a shuttle would take visitors to places of entertainment within the city.

Hunter McLaren | Staff Photographer Mount Pleasant City Commission members discuss a proposal at the meeting on Nov. 12 in Mount Pleasant City Hall.

“Part of Mount Pleasant’s lack of diversity stems from its inaccessibility,” said Com-

misioner William Joseph. “I think a rail line that comes through Mount Pleasant

gives (the city) a way for people to go to school, work or shop in Mount Pleasant.”

2018 NewVenture winner launches Kickstarter campaign Elemental created a thermal bra to help breast cancer survivors

By Courtney Pedersen Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

The most recent NewVenture winner plans to begin fulfilling orders and selling products in the next few months.

The company, Elemental, created a thermal bra to help breast cancer survivors stay warm. After a mastectomy, breast tissue is sensitive, making it susceptible to cold.

The company currently has an “all or nothing” Kickstarter campaign to

earn more funds. Its goal is to raise $12,500 by Monday, Dec. 3 at 11:59 p.m.

The team will only receive the money if it reaches that amount by the deadline.

There are many rewards for pledging, including a fleece blanket, t-shirts and free bras.

“Once the Kickstarter ends, we will focus on getting our orders ready for delivery, and then transitioning to online sales through our own website,” Chief Executive Officer Emily Austin said.

The online sales will

Elemental competed in Central Michigan University’s NewVenture Competition in 2017 and 2018, winning $250 the first year, and $30,000 the next.

The team consists of Austin as CEO and Haley Rusicka as the director of marketing, both CMU alumni, and Susan Wroblewski, coordinator for the Center for Merchandising Design Technology Research Lab at CMU, as the Chief Operations Officer.

The idea for the thermal bra originally came to Austin while working on a group project.

“The idea stemmed from a woman named Jodie Faber, who we were introduced to through a class project,” Austin said.

“Jodie told us all about her struggles being cold and hopes for a solution.”

Austin said she and her group began researching and creating prototypes for the thermal bra right after its conversation with Faber.

As the group project came to an end, Austin continued to work with Wroblewski and soon after, Rusicka joined the team.

to use bulky and electrically wired medical devices.

Rusicka said the company’s thermal bra is 33 percent warmer than a comparative retail bra, and is underwire free.

“We’ve taken into account these women’s breast shapes because they are not exactly perfect shapes when you have reconstruction,” Rusicka said.

The company created the bras with the comfort of the survivors as the main goal. The bra is made with a wicking material for cold sweats some women have.

“The bra band is made of a luxurious polyester and spandex fabric that feels great on your skin,”

Wroblewski said. “The (innermost) layer of the bra cup is 100 percent cotton with a wicking treatment so that it will feel great, while moving moisture away from your skin if you perspire.”

Rusicka said the company plans to continue creating different thermal bras, including a thermal sports bra.

“We are hoping that we are the brand of thermal bras that not only strong women who have survived breast cancer can benefit from, but eventually a company that benefits women who like to watch and participate in sports outside,” Rusicka said.

Mount Pleasant reveals its branding campaign

By Amalia Kalergis Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Mount Pleasant revealed its new branding effort, “Meet Here', on Nov. 13 at the Art Reach of Mid Michigan.

The event was open to community members and representatives from Mount Pleasant City Commission, Central Michigan University and Mid-Michigan College attended among others.

The brand – "Meet Here", is an open ended phrase that community members and businesses can add to. Adding words in front of the "meet here" can curb the brand to convey a specific message. A few examples provided at the event included: "Mom and pops. Meet here.Messy hands. Meet here. Many backgrounds.

Meet here."

The main idea of the phrase "meet here" is to say anything and everything comes together in Mount Pleasant.

The process of creating a brand campaign for the community started seven years ago when interviews and surveys were conducted to gather data about how people define Mount Pleasant, or what makes Mount Pleasant unique.

To help with the creation of the brand campaign, Mount Pleasant hired the company Darwin. It’s goal, according to its website, is to move society forward by partnering with "change makers" to solve complex issues.

“One of the goals was to identify how Mount Pleasant is different from Grand Rapids or Lansing or anywhere else," said creative strategist Kathleen Monin. "We also wanted to make a fantastic reputation for the community while staying true to who we are.”

Throughout the research, Monin said the single most important question asked was, "what unites the Mount Pleasant community?" She said it’s easy to say Mount Pleasant is right in the mid-

dle of the mitten, and that it has CMU and Soaring Eagle Casino. And while those are major parts of Mount Pleasant, they are not what unites the community, she said.

Monin said that a brand doesn't just consist of a logo, but also words, colors, fonts and a promise.

In the promise of the brand, there are two parts: the attributes and the ingredients.

Monin said the first attribute of Mount Pleasant, that they found central to their promise, is the cultural crossroads.

“This is how we wanted to articulate the value of being in the middle, that we are a crossroads for people to come together and unite," she said.

The second attribute is that Mount Pleasant has a relaxed lifestyle where you can "skip to your own beat," Monin said.

The last attribute states there are no compromises; there are just the right amount of amenities for you here in Mount Pleasant.

Monin said these attributes are what make Mount Pleasant special.

The ingredients of the promise are the importance of community assets, the attractive culture in Mount Pleasant and being the Michigan crossroad.

The secret ingredient, Monin said, is all of the community members.

“The overwhelming thing that we heard is that Mount

Pleasant is where people come together,” she said.

So, the promise of the brand

campaign is the focus on the community members and their connection to each other.

Chris Rowley, the executive director for Mount Pleasant’s Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the grassroots of the brand is important because everyone can use it and see themselves being represented in the brand.

“Different entities within the community have their own brand, or different logos, so this community brand was really about uniting those separate elements of our community under one umbrella," said City Planner Jacob Kain.

He said the brand brings all the different attributes together into one cohesive strategy for building community pride and reaching out to the rest of the state and the nation to let them know who the Mount Pleasant community is.

Damian Fisher, owner of Graysky Gallery, said he came to the event to see what the brand was all about.

“It’s one thing to come up with a new idea, but it’s another to make it work, and that’s where we come in," Fisher said. "Once the city makes the decision, it’s up to the businesses to sell it."

Darcy Orlik, director of public relations, said people can participate by contacting her; there is a playbook with electronic files of the logos and there’s tutorials on how people can use the electronic logo as well as the vinyl stickers.

This will make it easier for people to fill in that blank of what that "meet here" specifically means to them, she said.

“I

wanted to run away from my problems,” Cole said.

“When I got out there, I realized it was going to follow me everywhere I go.”

Even though Cole committed to Kansas prior to his mother’s death, losing her made him eager leave as soon as possible. As a walk-on, he could have turned back to CMU without repercussions, but the wide receiver stuck with his choice.

“I just wanted to have a new environment to focus on that could take my mind away from that initial thought,” Cole explained.

Millard was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer, a rare form, in late November 2014. She stopped working as an assistance payments supervisor at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services around Christmas time and eventually ended up in the hospital on Feb. 21, 2015.

Cole moved with his father, Marcel Cole, to Ann Arbor at the start of his eighth-grade year following his parents’ divorce. His brother, Chris Cole, stayed in Lansing and spent countless hours with his mother.

Chris, 28, took his mother to the hospital the day she was diagnosed, just prior to Cam’s MHSAA Division I state championship game for Saline High School on Nov. 29 at Ford Field.

“We made it to the game, but I didn’t tell (Cam) because I didn’t want to mess with his head before the game,” Chris explained.

Quickly following the 33-25 loss to Clarkston in the state title, Cam was informed of his mother’s illness.

At first, Cam didn’t understand the severity.

Three months after the state championship, the entire family, including members from Alaska and Cam’s grandmother from Texas, all met at the hospital. Upon hearing his mother was back in the hospital, Cam left school early and picked up Chris in Lansing.

Time felt as if it was slowed down.

Cam began reminiscing on the memories of his mother, who was with him for the entirety of his childhood because Marcel played basketball overseas. She raised two children on her own, the foundation for Cam’s current work ethic. Millard was at every practice and game.

Her schedule revolved around Cam’s schedule.

“If anything happens to me, you’ll be fine,” Cam remembers his mother telling him as a boy.

Chris said his brother matured quickly at just 13 years old without his mother around on a day-to-day basis.

Throughout the week his mother spent in the hospital, Cam acted as normal as possible before reality eventually hit him square in the face.

“She fought that whole week,” Cam said. “I didn’t want her to hold on for my comfort. I knew she was in pain, so it was best for her. It was a sad relief.”

Cam’s mother lost her battle to cancer on Feb. 27, 2015.

Throughout his mother’s death, Cam’s father, brother and close friends were there for him, but he was never pitied. Of those standing nearby during his mother’s death was Saline football teammate Christian Mercer.

“Cam, and a lot of other players, deal with tons of stuff on and off the field that people don’t realize,” Mercer, a linebacker, said. “It just goes to show we have personal battles.”

The summer following Millard’s death was the toughest for her youngest son. Cam was unable to halt thoughts of his mother but was preparing for life as a Kansas football player at the same time.

He was eager to get on campus, start fresh, forget about the past and suppress his emotional struggles surrounding his mother’s death. He attempted to put all his focus on football, an impossible task.

Kansas tried to move Cam to the safety position when he was a freshman. Dealing with constant changes, he was unable to rely on the new environment to get his mind off past struggles. He couldn’t stop thinking of his

mother, father, brother and support system back in Michigan.

So, he returned.

Cam made Mount Pleasant his new home prior to the 2016 season, just 70 miles to Lansing and 129 miles to Ann Arbor. Both cities are under a two-hour drive from CMU. “The initial reaction is to run. I realized I wasn’t supposed to be away from my people who were going to help me get through this,” Cam said. “The situation out there wasn’t for me.”

Due to Cam’s transfer to join the Chippewas, Mercer did the same – departing from Valparaiso after his freshman season. The two spent countless hours on the gridiron at Saline and continue to do so in Mount Pleasant.

“I wanted to play with my brother. So, I came here because he was here. He came in, put his head down and made plays. He worked his way up from the scout team, and I wanted to do the same.”

After one season of hard work and minimal playing time, Cam caught his first collegiate touchdown – a 56-yard score from quarterback Shane Morris to give CMU a 7-3 lead late in the first quarter against Syracuse on Sept. 17, 2017.

Whenever Cam steps on the football field, he thinks of his mother.

“It fueled his fire,” Mercer said of Millard’s death. “Mentally, it might have taken a toll on him, but he started working harder. That’s his why. Everyone has it, and she’s definitely his why.”

To take Millard with him wherever he goes, Cam purchased a necklace with a football locket. Inside are his mother’s ashes.

“She was a big football fan, and my biggest fan,” Cam said. “It’s a simple reminder. It goes far beyond football.”

Growing up, Cam always heard his mother cheering for him the loudest, and he goes by Cam instead of Cameron because of her. He has become closest to his aunt, Beth RiniSanchez, who resembles Millard’s kindness, sweetness and selflessness.

Walking into Kelly/Shorts Stadium for every home game, Cam looks at the mothers cheering for their sons. He notices the mothers of Shakir Carr, Jamil Sabbagh, Sean Bunting, Tommy Lazzaro and others.

Those moments hurt the most.

“That would be her out there,” Cam said of his late mother. “I think about that all the time.”

Cam, 21, often wakes up in the morning and misses his mother, but he is thankful for how she raised him to be a strong and honest man.

Now, she’s his motivation.

“I want to make her proud,” Cam said. “It’s different because she’s not around. You don’t realize things until something is gone.”

PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE?

How coach Bonamego’s worst season compares to past coaches’ departing seasons

BONO'S WORST SEASON

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Mike DeBord, Brian Kelly, Butch Jones, Dan Enos and John Bonamego all called Mount Pleasant home at one point or another as the head coach of Central Michigan’s football team.

From 2000 to 2014, DeBord resigned, Kelly accepted a job at Cincinnati and Enos departed on the hot seat for an opportunity as the offensive coordinator at Arkansas. Jones, opening a way for Enos at CMU, replaced Kelly once again, this time with the Bearcats.

Now, there’s Bonamego.

The fourth-year coach has the Chippewas at 1-10 overall and 0-7 in the Mid-American Conference with one game remaining in the 2018 season. He’s been to bowl games in three of his four campaigns, controlling an overall 22-28 record and 15-16 mark in the MAC. “I will say it’s been a disappointing season for the department, football team, fans, students, campus and community,” said CMU Director of Athletics Michael Alford.

Some CMU football fans are calling for Bonamego to be replaced.

Alford did not comment on if Bonamego will return for the 2019 season as head coach. He plans to meet with Bonamego, as he does with all coaches at CMU, following the close of the season to evaluate the future of the program.

“I don’t talk to them during the season about the season,” Alford said. “It’s just my style, because they have a job to do. I’m sure John has a plan to get us on the right path.”

When asked in a press conference if his job was on the line, Bonamego replied “my job is always on the line.”

To gain an understanding of how Bonamego may be judged after the 2018 season, here’s a comparison to his predecessors.

MIKE DEBORD DeBord struggled from the start of his four-season tenure.

Throughout the 2000-03 seasons, DeBord collected a 12-34 overall record and 7-25 mark in

• Recorded 10 losses for first time in history

• Doesn't have one MAC win • Hasn't beaten an FBS opponent in 356 days • Doesn't have a starting quarterback nothing near Jones’, the two have one thing in common — they both delivered three straight bowl appearances for the Chippewas.

Savannah Glasscock | Staff Photographer Head coach John Bonamego celebrates a touchdown on Oct. 6 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

the conference. In the MAC West Division, he finished sixth, fifth, fifth and seventh, respectively.

In Bonamego’s first season in 2015, he was 7-6 overall and 6-2 in the MAC, handing his team a MAC West title in the regular season and a trip to the Quick Lake Bowl.

DeBord never registered more than four wins in a season during his time with the Chippewas, which kept him far from bowl eligibility.

This year is Bonamego’s only season with less than six victories.

The 62-year-old resigned from the Chippewas in December of 2003. He rejoined the University of Michigan, a place where he was the offensive coordinator from 1997-99, in 2004.

BRIAN KELLY Kelly coached CMU from the 2004-06 seasons and logged a 19-16

overall and 15-9 conference record.

CMU’s standings improved each year under Kelly, going from four to six to nine wins. Nonetheless, his first two seasons ended in a fifth and fourth place finish in the MAC, respectively – without a bowl game to show.

Kelly is arguably one of the best college football coaches in the nation, currently leading No. 3 ranked Notre Dame in the midst of an undefeated 10-0 record and chance at a spot in the College Football Playoff.

But in three seasons at CMU, Kelly only made one bowl game when he was 7-1 against MAC opponents in 2006. He took the Chippewas to the Motor City Bowl, but the then third-year coach left for the head coaching position at Cincinnati before CMU’s 31-14 postseason victory.

Comparing Bonamego to Kelly,

CMU’s current coach entered in 2015, immediately revived Enos’ struggling team and delivered three-straight bowl appearances from 2015-17.

Bonamego was unable to receive bowl eligibility in 2018, but even Kelly was unable to deliver three bowl appearances in three seasons.

BUTCH JONES Jones returned to CMU after three seasons as the wide receivers coach at West Virginia. Likewise, Bonamego found his way back to the Chippewas in 2012.

Jones led the 2007 team to a 7-1 conference record, an 8-5 record overall, including the rivalry road triumph over Western Michigan for the first time since 1993.

From 2007-09, Jones secured a 20-3 MAC record for CMU and an overall record of 27-13.

While Bonamego’s numbers are

DAN ENOS Enos had the program in purgatory with lackluster losses and a weak vibe. Enos, from 2010-14, was 26-36 overall and 18-22 in the MAC. He went to two bowl games – 2012 and 2014.

Like Enos’ program, Bonamego’s currently has no energy or poise. Bonamego’s even said his team has played very well in moments and poor in others, placing the Chippewas in an interesting situation surrounded by one question: Will the team actually improve?

Instead of fighting through the struggles, Enos jumped ship to join Arkansas as the offensive coordinator. Bonamego might have the chance to do the same if an NFL team calls for a special teams coordinator.

Of the three coaches prior, Bonamego closely resembles Enos, but his CMU ties offer hope for the future.

Enos decided not to persevere, and for Bonamego the choice is open. That’s for him to decide.

Chippewas show bench depth in early season play

By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Keno Davis will be the first to tell you his starters in game one will start the remainder of the season.

However, the 2018-19 group of bench players may shake things up. With the depth of the 2018-19 team, Davis has a few different options off of the bench — something that he is not always used to.

For past three seasons — barring injuries — Davis’ starting five remained the starters for the entire season.

This year, he said, things could go differently.

“We can win with the guys who are nine, ten and eleven on our depth chart,” Davis

said. “The big leads aren’t the only reason we’re putting guys off the bench in, we want them getting experience with the top group so when their number is called they can be ready.”

In the Chippewas (2-0) 101-60 win over Chicago State, more than 50 percent of their scoring came from the bench.

Matt Beachler found himself open in transition, which led to a career-high 16 points. Transfer forward Romelo Burrell went 4-of-7 from the field and added 11 points. Transfer guard Dallas Morgan knocked home a pair of 3-pointers while adding 10 points. Redshirt sophomore Innocent Nwoko added seven points with four rebounds.

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

MAC JOINS NEW MYRTLE BEACH BOWL AT GRAND STAND; SET TO START IN 2020 The Mid-American Conference has a new bowl game it will soon be a part of.

The Myrtle Beach Bowl is headed to South Carolina’s Grand Strand resort area in 2020 with the Sun Belt Conference, Conference USA and the MAC. ESPN Events announced the news, along with the conferences involved. ESPN owns and will be televising the contest. The games will take place from the years 2020-2025, meaning there will be at least four games between the leagues involved.

The game will take place at Brooks Stadium which is home to Coastal Carolina who is a member of the Sun Belt. Currently there are 39 active bowls, meaning this would be the 40th if all are still operating in 2020.

CMU is 3-8 all-time in bowl games. The Chippewas last appearance was in 2017 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl which they dropped 37-14. CMU’s last bowl victory

was in 2012 when they defeated Western Kentucky 24-21 in the Little Ceasars Pizza Bowl.

Other MAC Bowl Partners for 2018-19: Primary: • Dollar General Bowl (Mobile, AL, vs. Sun Belt) • Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (Bosie, ID, vs.

who they will be,” Davis said.

“You might figure it’s our top scorers but (against CSU) it’s three guys off the bench. They are continuously vdeveloping their game.”

In the 2017-18 season, junior guard Kevin McKay (27.1) and former transfer guard Gavin Peppers (13.3) averaged double figures in minutes per contest.

While it’s early in the year, four players off the Chippewas bench have more than 10 minutes per outing.

Leading that group is Beachler who is averaging 20 minutes and 10.5 points per game. Beachler averaged only nine minutes per game last season.

Beachler said the depth of CMU allows the entire to team to play to its full ability the entire game.

“Defensively we’re able to apply more pressure and

the overall energy level is so high right now,” Beachler said. “Knowing we have guys behind (the starters) who can come in and play really helps.”

Even with transfer forward Kevin Hamlet sidelined due to an ankle injury, CMU is rotating in three forwards with starter Rob Montgomery, Burrell and Nwoko. Hamlet is expected to be added in the mix when healthy.

Nwoko feels that having a rotation like they do keeps them fresh.

“We really work well together every week at practice and it’s showing in games,” Nwoko said. “It makes less pressure on us. I’ve been able to work a lot on my own game and make it better every day with them from my jump hook on offense to boxing out on defense.”

Junior guard Matty Smith,

who backed up high-scorer Marcus Keene, said the whole team feels very connected. He’s willing to do whatever is asked of him.

“If coach wants me to go in for 15 minutes and make passes I’m going to do that, if he needs to me to score I’ll score,” Smith said. “I feel like we are a more complete team than we’ve had in the past.”

Davis said everyday in practice the backups get a chance to show how they can earn more minutes. So far, they’ve done nothing but fight for more of them which is a good thing in his eyes.

“They are getting their feet wet and when we have close games they have been in before which is what we need,” Davis said. “You can expect these guys to fight for more playing time every week which can only lead to better things.”

HUDSON BREAKS TWO CAREER RECORDS IN LOSS TO SOUTH DAKOTA STATE

PARKS’ LAST-SECOND TAKEDOWN HELPS TEAM, INDIVIDUAL CONFIDENCE Logan Parks was patiently waiting for his opponent, Ben Lamantia of Michigan, to become desperate for a takedown.

Parks saw the opportunity, and he struck as time expired in the second overtime period of the 157-pound weight class match and sent McGuirk Arena into a frenzy.

The fifth-ranked Wolverines won the dual convincingly, 32-12 on Sunday, Nov. 11 and pinned three Chippewas. Parks was one of three Chippewas to win their individual matches, and he did so in the last second.

“I was pretty tired, (head coach Tom Borelli) was in the corner talking to me and that really helped — knowing I had to win no matter what it took,” said Parks, a Taylor junior.

Though he’s the only junior on the squad, he was thrown into a leadership role after CJ Brucki, Jordan Ellingwood, Colin Heffernan, Hunter Rollins and Newton Smerchek graduated. The transfers of Justin Oliver and Mason Smith also left at the end of last season.

“It’s different, like last year I was a

sophomore with five older guys and they were kind of the leaders,” Parks said.

“This year it’s me and (senior Jordan Atienza). I just try to work hard for the freshmen and they see that. I’m not very vocal so I just have to put in the hard work and hopefully they see that and try to mimic that.”

Parks struggled his freshman season posting a 12-21 record at 165-pounds.

He followed that season up with a big turnaround as he finished the 2017-18 season at 20-12 in the same weight class.

His turnaround came at the MidAmerican Conference Championships his freshman year and that is where he gained the most confidence.

Before the 2017 MAC Championships, he would have lost that match to Lamantia. “(I must keep) being consistent and trusting the process that the coaches give us and keep working hard,” Parks said.

A record-setting night for CMU senior Presley Hudson was dampened by a 80-71 loss to South Dakota State University (2-1) on Nov. 12 at McGuirk Arena.

PRESLEY HUDSON The senior looked stoic at the postgame press conference despite breaking CMU’s (1-1) career assist and three point record.

“I’ve had great teammates throughout my whole career,” Hudson said when asked about the assist record. “They’ve all worked hard, put in the time and work. I know when I pass them the ball they’re going to make it.”

Hudson dropped 24 points on 5-16 shooting from the field and a 3-9 mark from beyond the three point line while also tallying five assists.
