B’s Music Shop receives 2018 Celebrated Service Award

By Isaac Ritchey Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Each year Celebration Cinema awards six Michigan businesses for their outstanding service.

The movie theater chain recently named B’s Music Shop as the recipient of the 2018 Mount Pleasant Celebrated Service Award.

Ten total Mount Pleasant businesses were nominated for the award, which goes to the business who is voted as having the best overall recognition, value and service within the community.

Dog Central, Dube Dental, Hall of Heroes, Intricate Décor Tattooing, Ponder Coffee Company, RK Water Store, Salon Blu, Taco Boy and Yoga on Main – formerly Mount Pleasant Hot Yoga – were all nominated.

The award was sponsored

by MLive, Studio C, Beene Garter, ZingTrain and Mercantile Bank.

Nominees were suggested by either Celebration Cinema

employees or sponsoring businesses.

“Every time I’ve gone (into B’s Music Shop), (the staff) have been caring and truly

want to engage in a discussion about what they love — music,” said Armando Brigham, Mount Pleasant Celebration Cinema assis-

tant manager, in an audio endorsement. “They are so passionate about their work that it sucks you in and you’re immediately fascinated by their awesome inventory and diverse selection.”

It was the music shop’s first time being nominated for the award.

“We are really excited!”

Owner Brian Hansen said. “I have been wanting to win (the award) for eight years.”

Staff, customers and the store’s 140 weekly music students helped the store receive votes by word of mouth and handing out promotional cards, Hansen said.

“A lot of the store is simply talking to people more than maybe a restaurant would,” he said. “I was never told the final vote total, but we were winning the entire way.”

A total of 60 nominees competed in the competition — 10 finalists from six

different markets: Grand Rapids, Benton Harbor and St. Joseph, Kalamazoo and Portage, Mount Pleasant, Muskegon and Lansing and Okemos.

Each recipient of the award will receive a cash prize of $5,000, a VIP party for the whole business, 10 passes every month of the year and a full year of promotion on their local Celebration Cinema screens, lobby, website and social media.

The promotional video is most important to B’s music shop. Hansen said the shop’s education program will benefit from young kids seeing a commercial before a movie, which might spark an interest in learning to play an instrument.

B’s Music Shop is located at 613 N. Mission St. and is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 12-5 p.m. Sunday.

Annual Circle of Indigenous Arts event aims to unite cultures

By Hunter Dood Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Native American cultures of the Midwest were brought together for the “Circle of Indigenous Arts” show Nov. 16-17 at the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture and Lifeways.

The annual show started in 1998, before the Ziibiwing Center opened. The event is held the weekend before Thanksgiving every year.

There is a competition for best in show among fine art, music and dance artists.

The overall winner receives $2,500. However, the purpose of the show is more than just competition.

The Ziibiwing Center was full of Native American culture — paintings and pictures filled the walls. The gift shop was full of Native American themed toys and knickknacks and Tribal music was playing in the main lobby.

Artists set up their work on display tables next to each other for potential buyers to view.

Shirley Brauker, a Central Michigan University alumna, was one of the artists who had her work on display.

“This (event) brings people together of different tribes and allows us to share our

artwork with the community,” Brauker said.

She enjoys telling a story with ledger drawings and pottery. Brauker said she also drew on the paperwork from the 1889 imprisonment of Native Americans, making that piece an antique. On the paper, she drew animals and plants, with the written paperwork filling in the background.

She likes to teach art history to youth and has taught a Native American art sampler class at CMU. She said art is an educational tool because it has historical value to it.

Brauker has been participating in shows and workshops for more than 40 years. She has traveled across the nation teaching art and the art history. It’s her “lifestyle,” she said.

Shannon Martin, the director of the Ziibiwing Center, saw the event as an opportunity to showcase Native artistic talents.

“We offer (the event) because it provides an important platform for North American Indian artists to demonstrate and sell their work,” Martin said. “The event provides an opportunity for master adult artists to inspire youth to express their own talents.”

Martin said the event also

showcases bilingual authors and poets and gives them the chance to share their work.

Stephanie Jackson is an artist from Mount Pleasant who said she enjoys making block prints of Michigan animals. She also enjoyed the many talents showcased at the event.

Jackson said many of the artists have been developing their skills since their youth.

The tradition is passed down from each generation, creating the history of Native art.

Another artist, Marcella Hadden, a photographer from Mount Pleasant, has her own mini studio in the Ziibiwng Center.

Hadden said she enjoys photography because of the everlasting memories and the initial “wow factor” after looking at what she just took.

“I had 25 clients signed up (for a photo shoot) so I decided to do it here,” Hadden said. “It brings people to the center and gets them to look at the art.”

Art brings unity to everybody involved in it, Hadden said, not just the Native American culture.

At the event, the art piece many people were talking about was a bison sculpture made of $40,000 worth of copper. The piece was selling for $150,000.

CM CREW provides help for students with alcohol, drug addiction

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

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, four out of five college students drink alcohol.

About 25 percent of those students report suffering academic consequences related to drinking too much. That includes skipped classes, lower test scores and lower grades overall.

Central Michigan University students facing academic consequences due to alcohol and substance abuse can seek recovery and help through the Central Michigan Collegiate Recovery Education Wellness program.

CM CREW works in partnership with the university to provide prevention and early intervention services for students that are experiencing consequences due to alcohol or drug use.

The program formed in September 2016 through a partnership with student affairs, administration, former Mount Pleasant mayor Sharon Tillman, and Ten16 Recovery Network.

Ten16 is a Mid-Michigan based recovery agency dedicated to helping people with drug and alcohol addictions to live full lives by providing a variety of programs and resources.

After two years of activism on CMU’s campus, Ten16 recently expanded its message for sobriety to Ferris State University by forming another collegiate recovery program, FS CREW. Kayce Courson is the site director of the FSU program and is directly involved in supporting students in recovery from substance abuse. Courson trained at Kennesaw State’s Collegiate Recovery Community, known as the Center for Young Adult Addiction and Recovery.

FS CREW is dedicated to maintaining confidentiality with those who seek help through the program.

“CREW is not here to

“

“We assume nothing about any student who comes through these doors.

-Isaac Dieterman, Falmouth senior demand abstinence and demonize use of substances.

We will not issue any formal diagnosis, and we will never break confidentiality to parents, professors, or peers,” Courson said. “The program utilizes harm reduction techniques and encourages the student to set their own goals about how they want their substance use to look.”

Jessica Miller directs CM CREW and many of its operations, including student evaluations – one of the many services offered by the organization. She has more than 10 years of experience as a professional counselor and said she has a passion for working with college students.

“I’m not looking to give the student a diagnosis, it’s more a discussion about their relationship with drugs and alcohol and make referrals if they pose a high-risk factor for substance abuse,” Miller said.

CM CREW also offers recovery and wellness coaching, which is a one-on-one appointment with Falmouth senior Isaac Dieterman.

In contrast to a counseling session, Dieterman connects with students as peers to help them create a plan to get to a healthier lifestyle.

“This can be as simple as cutting a day out of their drinking schedule or it may be trying to decrease the number of beers they drink in a weekend,”

Dieterman said.

Dieterman said he began his involvement with CM CREW out of the necessity to care for his own problems with addiction. Now, he said he works to improve the lives of others by guiding them on their path to sobriety.

“Recovery by the Slice,” an event involving free pizza, has been a weekly tradition of CM CREW since the organization came to fruition. These events, held on Mondays from 1-2 p.m. and Thursdays from 12:301:30 p.m., are designed for students seeking recovery as well as anybody who wishes to be part of a sober community.

“We assume nothing about any student who comes through these doors – we don’t automatically assume they have a problem with drugs or alcohol, we just want to see where they’re at,” Dieterman said. “So far, I’ve seen nothing but positive reactions from students.”

Enjoy your time off over Thanksgiving weekend, take time to relax It’s finally here — Thanksgiving break.

Whether you’re traveling, spending the holiday with friends or going home to see your family, enjoy this weekend and take advantage of this much-needed break.

Rest and recharge, so you’re ready to tackle the last few weeks of the semester.

For the first time since Labor Day weekend, Chippewas will finally have a few days to relax and take their minds off of school.

From Labor Day to Thanksgiving, Central Michigan University does not give students a mid-semester break. For almost four months, students have to keep up a fast pace, which sometimes results in getting over-worked and stressed out.

Homework, studying for exams, group projects, essays and meetings — it’s a lot to manage, especially on top of work and a social life.

It can be suffocating. A nice break from

EDITORIAL classes helps students to rest, clear their minds and be ready to get back to work again. Without a break, students can start to feel burn out. Their grades might start to suffer and they won’t want to keep working at it.

Spring Break falls roughly in the middle of the semester. It gives students one week to relax, have fun and not think about school at all before coming back and finishing out the semester.

Why don’t we have a similar break in the fall?

Many universities have given students a mid-semester break in the fall: Northern Michigan University students have a

break from Nov. 17-26, Western Michigan University students have a break from Oct. 17-19, and University of Michigan students had a break from Oct. 15-16.

It’s time CMU students were also given a much-needed fall break — right after midterms.

Midterms, which usually fall in the middle of October, completely wear students out. They spend weeks studying, going to classes and doing homework, and then spend a lot of extra time studying right before midterms. When midterms finally arrive, students are exhausted and burnt out.

After midterms, students have no time to rest, clear their minds, and prepare to give the rest of the semester all of their effort and energy. Because they have no break, they don’t have a lot of energy left to give. It doesn’t help that the holidays

come around almost right after midterms, which always brings a little extra stress and tension.

While a week-long break right after midterms would be great and ideal for many CMU students, even a three-day break would be enough. Students only need a few days to clear their minds, rest and get themselves ready to give the rest of the semester everything they’ve got.

CMU has made an effort this year to help students take care of their mental health. Increased counselors and mindfulness programs at the Counseling Center are great and a huge help to many students. Nothing would help students’ mental health more than giving them a break.

If you want students to keep performing their best academically at the end of the semester, then you need to give us a break to rest in the middle of the semester.

Journalism is now more important, but dangerous than ever Threats to journalistic freedom are at an all-time high. It’s never been a more dangerous time to be a journalist, according to The Expression Agenda Report 2016/2017.

It was recently concluded that Saudi Arabian Journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s death was ordered by the crown prince, according to CNN. In June of this year, five Annapolis Capital Gazette newspaper employees were killed in a targeted shooting. Before that June shooting, just seven journalists had been killed in America since 1992, according to NPR. There is no evidence this newly violent attitude toward journalists is motivated by any statements made by the president or any other politicians. However, the hostile comments President Trump has made toward the press do not encourage peaceful criticism.

After the Annapolis shooting, Trump made a statement, “Journalists, like all Americans, should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their job.”

Nicole Dunneback Columnist

This was a quite different tone than his usually aggressive attacks on the free press. Trump has regularly labeled news media as the “enemy of the American people” and “very dishonest” or “fake news.”

According to The Independent, President Trump is increasing the risk of American journalists being attacked.

Special Rapporteurs on freedom of expression for the United Nations, David Kaye, and Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, Edison Lanza, spoke to the Independent about how Trump is compromising the media’s ability to report freely and accurately.

“His attacks are strategic, designed to undermine confidence in reporting

and raise doubts about verifiable facts.

These attacks run counter to the country’s obligations to respect press freedom and international human rights law. We are especially concerned that these attacks increase the risk of journalists being targeted with violence.”

Kaye and Lanza highlighted that Trump often has no evidence or backing to support his aggressive comments either.

Trump has been President for two years now. Two years in which the integrity and trust of news outlets have been tarnished.

This trust may never be re-established to the same level as before.

The press and news outlets are public institutions meant to serve and inform the public. Without the public’s trust, the media suffers and the public suffers because they no longer have as much free access to important information.

As a student studying journalism, I worry that this balance of trust between the media and the public may never be restored. I personally chose to follow a path into journalism as a way to help people and make a difference. While I

cannot speak for every single journalist out there, I believe most of us chose this career for similar reasons: to inform the public and tell important stories that need to be heard.

When we don’t have the trust of our audience, it becomes difficult to write for them because we need to prove the truth to them. Without trust, they don’t willingly believe we write the objective truth.

However, as a journalist, that is what we strive to do each and every time we write.

I’m not scared that my choice to study journalism may result in putting me at risk in the near future. I am more scared that our country will start ostracizing the news media to the point that the public has no understanding of what is happening in their world. Knowing what is going on around us and what choices our government is making allows us to hold people accountable.

Without journalism, people will be free to act anonymously without facing judgment from the public. We must fight to preserve freedom of the press. We need journalists, and they need us.

tarting a new Registered Student Organization on campus can be a difficult task to undertake.

Gaining and retaining members over time can be even harder.

Luckily for RSOs at Central Michigan University, there’s a group of students dedicated to helping with just that.

The Student Organization Specialists (SOS) is a trained four-person team that offers support services to RSOs at CMU in the form of advising, workshops and consultations.

New to campus this year, SOS is led by experienced student leaders who have previously held leadership positions.

Specialists are trained in areas such as marketing, member retention, booking spaces and goal-setting.

“We saw that there was a need from RSOs who were struggling,” said Rockford senior Caroline Murray, the program’s coordinator.

“Maybe they couldn’t keep members, or had poor retention, or couldn’t recruit members.”

There are m

Part of the goal for SOS is helping each organization to define what success looks like for them. But the definition of success differs for each RSO, Murray said.

For some organizations, success could be having a large membership; for others, it could be doing more fundraising for philanthropies. Once the RSO has identified its goals, Murray will assign a specialist who will best fit the needs of the RSO based on their past leadership experiences.

“I would never give Harry Potter alliance the same advice I would give the Future Child Advocates, because they’re very different,” she said. “That’s the cool thing about our program: we cater to the individual program.”

THE SOS T EAM Murray knew there was a need for SOS after serving for two years as the RSO Growth and Development Chair for Student

Government Association.

“Every week I was finding new challenges that RSOs were facing,” she said. “I was learning that there were a lot of problems that would be easily solved if they had an advisor looking out for them.”

The newly-created SOS team consists of Murray, Marysville senior Morgan Clark, Battle Creek junior Olivia Franklin and Oxford junior Casey Wright.

The program coordinator position requires 10 office hours per week as well as consistent training throughout the year, Murray said. She holds this position on top of being a resident assistant in Larzelere Hall and Student Government Association Senate Leader.

Other SOS team members hold six office hours a week.

Although the program started this year, SOS services have already been requested by over 30 RSOs on campus thus far.

Specialists have met with a wide variety of groups ranging from the Mental Health Alliance, to Pi Sigma Epsilon, to the League

of Legends Club. Each organization has requested help in different areas.

“We were kind of struggling at first,” said Chesterfield sophomore Jasmine Alford, secretary of the Harry Potter Alliance. “Our specialist showed us how to book a room, how to organize OrgSync, gave us suggestions on how to do better advertising.”

Many RSOs have cited OrgSync’s complexity as a struggle they’ve faced.

When organizations request SOS services online, they must fill out the RSO’s goals, things they need to improve and things they’re doing well.

For the Mental Health Alliance, an RSO new to campus this year, their main goal was navigating OrgSync and figuring out how to book spaces for meetings. Colorado Springs junior and Mental Health Alliance President Katrina Gallego said working with SOS left her feeling better about starting a brand new RSO. “Just having someone I can shoot an email to if I’m having trouble is very reassuring,” Gallego said.

Refugee Outreach Collective President Julia Dobija went to SOS for tips on how to market her organization better and increase membership.

We’re an education and advocacy-based organization, but t’s really difficult to do when there’s not a large refugee popuon in this area to serve, so we really struggle with memberp,” the Trenton junior said. “It can be kind of difficult for ple to connect with here.” he group has about 10 students. obija said the greatest marketing strategy she took away m meeting with SOS was the concept of the “elevator pitch:” ng a 20-30 second spiel on the organization goals and why ple may want to join.

AT IS AN RSO? Murray described Registered Student Organization involvement he “backbone” to a well-rounded college experience at CMU. rom learning time-management, to effective communication leadership skills, students involved in RSOs can learn many ls that can go right on a resume. side from growing professionally, RSO involvement can also vide a relationship with the CMU community.

If students aren’t getting involved, they may feel homesick or r mental health may slide,” Murray said. “Our RSOs provide essential connection to CMU.”

Cody Scanlan | Staff Photographer Program Coordinator Caroline Murray (left) and SGA Representative Connor Thatcher (right) meet to discuss RSOs on Nov. 16 in the Office of Student Involvement.

In order to form an RSO, students need a few things.

An RSO must have at least three members: A president, vice president and treasurer. No experience is required, just a passion for their RSO. They must also acquire some sort of faculty adviser. That can be a residence hall director or a favorite professor.

The Office of Student Activities and Involvement is home for information about all RSOs on campus.

Right now, there are 341 student organizations registered at CMU; however, this number is expected to increase by the end of the 2018-2019 academic year, said Dani Rossman, student activities assistant director.

That number represents all student organizations, club sports and Greek Life organizations that have registered for the academic year.

In 2017-2018, the year ended with 395 RSOs on campus. The year before that, there were 406.

Once an organization registers with the university for the year, the office does not require any further involvement. The reason for that is because organizations are student-run, meaning students learn leadership skills themselves by checking in with the office and making sure they’re on-track, Murray said.

However, there are plenty of incentives for RSOs to re-register

and continue involvement with the university. One incentive is Student Budget Allocation Committee funding, a service run through Student Government Association.

There is $150,000 available for RSOs this year through SBAC funding, which can go toward funding projects and conferences, said Connor Thatcher, SBAC chair. Organizations are eligible to apply for that funding if they are registered for the year and have a representative attending weekly SGA meetings.

THE NEED FOR SOS “Involved students are great to work with because they’re so passionate, but a lot of times because they’re so passionate, they become fatigued,” Murray said. “Our job is to fill in the gaps left by the fatigue.”

This is the pilot year for SOS, and the program was approved for four specialists. But based on the success of SOS thus far, Murray said she hopes to see the program rise and the number of specialists increase.

“With SOS, we have the experience,” she said. “We transfer that experience onto people who are really excited about their organizations, but just need a helping hand in figuring out how to be effective.”

Pizza box composting incorporated in residence halls

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

Central Michigan University is considered to have one of the best composting programs in the nation, said Facilities Operation Director Jay Kahn.

To increase their sustainability initiatives this year, CMU started a pizza box composting program.

“CMU is so great at composting because we collect both pre-consumer waste and post-consumer waste,” Kahn said.

Pre-consumer waste is waste produced by making a meal. Post-consumer waste could be food scraps after a meal.

Previously, pizza boxes were exempt from recycling because the box gets contaminated by grease and the pizza toppings get stuck to the top of the box. Therefore, CMU started composting the pizza boxes.

The Student Sustainability Coalition presented the idea of pizza box composting to the university’s sustainability committee last year. The SSC consists of students that are committed to sustainability and include representatives from Student Government Association and Residence Hall Assembly.

The pizza box composting initiative was spearheaded by Grant Skomski, assistant director of Residence Life, East Community, who hopes to reduce CMU’s waste.

“We decided we could (compost pizza boxes) as an effort to capture waste that shouldn’t be going to a landfill,” Skomski said. “We came up with a product design last year and this past summer John Kassuba built the first prototype.”

Kassuba is the assistant director of Facilities Operations and is part of this initiative.

This summer a pizza box collection post was set up in the Towers residence hall community, utilizing

the large student population there for testing.

The building’s maintenance staff places the pizza boxes in biodegradable bags, which are then taken to compost collection points located by the loading docks of each residential restaurant. The bags are picked up three times a week, Skomski said.

Each quad and campus apartment area has at least one BMW worker. “(Kassuba) has made four more prototype pizza box collection (posts that) we are going to expand,” Skomski said. “The ultimate goal is to have pizza box collection points throughout our system in residence life to help the campus more (with sustainability efforts).”

Both Kahn and Skomski said the sustainability initiative of composting pizza boxes is going well because students are using the collection box. Despite this, there are still some challenges.

Jonathan Webb, associate vice president of Facilities Management, said the biggest challenge is working out the details of the new initiative.

“It takes research, gathering of facts, developing an actionable plan, securing resources and a

commitment to execute the plan,” Webb said.

Skomski said if the boxes aren’t picked up right away, bacteria builds up and there is a risk of animals getting into the composting.

“It’s got to be a clean process within the residential halls until we get it out to the composting area,” Skomski said.

Challenges not only come with pizza box composting, but to sustainability overall at CMU. “The biggest challenge that CMU faces is the same challenge that every university faces, which is that we graduate 20 percent of our population and the next year we bring in 20 percent of a fresh new population,” Kahn said. “That means that we have a constant education and outreach challenge because we are turning our population over every single year.”

CMU brings in students that are not from Isabella County, which makes it difficult in regards to sustainability because every city has its own rules for recycling, he said.

Some cities don’t have recycling at all and some have one-stream recycling where everything gets put into one container. Isabella County has double-stream

recycling where there are separate containers for paper and plastic products.

To educate CMU students about the recycling

procedure in Isabella County, Skomski said the university focused on more descriptive signs near the dumpsters that let people know what goes in each door of the bins.

Skomski said another challenge is getting students to care about sustainability and recycling.

CMU is trying to increase its diversion rate by composting and recycling as much as they can.

“The diversion rate is what you don’t put in the landfill,” Kahn said. “So, the higher the rate, the more sustainable you are.

Right now, CMU is at a 40 percent diversion rate.”

CMU has a considerably higher sustainability rate compared to the entire state of Michigan, which is at 15 percent.

“The reason why Michi-

gan’s diversion rate is so low is because Michigan is an importer of trash,” Kahn said. “Our landfill tipping fees are so low that it’s profitable for people – even Canada – to send their trash to Michigan rather than stick it in their own landfills.”

Although Michigan as a state has a low diversion rate, Skomski said Michigan has a goal of a 45 percent rate for public universities. “(CMU is) becoming less of a polluter which is great, but we could do a lot more,” Kahn said. “A 40 percent diversion rate is almost three times better than the state average, but the difference between 40 percent and 45 percent is not that much and we could really be at 45 percent if we practice what we preach.”

Watters settles into new role; Chippewas win 108-90

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

From Monday to Saturday, the glaring growth in sophomore guard Maddy Watters’ game was her confidence and newfound lack of hesitation.

Watters finally settled in after going 1-of-5 from 3-point range during a nailbiting loss to South Dakota State in her first career start.

The shot opportunities were the same, but this time the ball fell through the net.

She came up short on her first attempt but then dropped in four-straight 3-pointers – leading Central Michigan’s stunning 38-point first quarter effort and setting a tone for her peers.

Finding her role on the team, Watters’ 18 points helped the Chippewas (2-1) to a 108-90 victory over Western Kentucky on Nov. 17 at McGuirk Arena.

LIFE IN BRIEF

Cody Scanlan | Staff Photographer Sophomore guard Maddy Watters shoots a three-point basket against Western Kentucky on Nov. 17 at McGuirk Arena.

“Western Kentucky has a pretty aggressive zone (defense), and we were able to shoot them out of it in the first quarter,” said CMU coach Sue Guevara. “There was no hesitation to shoot the ball or not.”

Watters, jogging from right to left on the baseline, put her defender in a daze, found an opening in the Hilltoppers’ (0-4) defense and fired off a 3-pointer.

Her shot sunk through the

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

CHIPPEWAS SIGN THREE TO WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM FOR 2018-19 SEASON Sue Guevara has officially added three new women’s basketball players for Central Michigan.

On Signing Day Nov. 15, Midland Dow guard Molly Davis, Saginaw Heritage forward Shine Strickland-Gills and Warren Cousino guard Kate McArthur pledged to join Guevara’s program beginning in the 2019-20 season.

“Overall I think this class brings a lot of energy to our program,” Guevara said.

“They’ve all got a great work ethic and are real tough-minded kids. I think they are all going fill needs for us at their positions down the road.”

MOLLY DAVIS `“Molly is a point guard that brings a hightempo style of play and is a real mentally tough kid,” Guevara said. “She can shoot the ball and has played against some of the best in the country. I think our fans are really going to love watching her play.”

SHINE STRICKLAND-GILLS Strickland-Gills averaged 12.5 points, 9.5

rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 2.0 steals per game in the 2017-18 season for Heritage High School in Saginaw.

The 6-foot forward was named State Finals Class A MVP, First Team Saginaw Valley League and has been a member of threestraight SVL championship teams.

“Shine is a leaper and can help us set up the floor,” Guevara said. “She also has a real quick jumper and can play with her back to the basket.”

KATE MCARTHUR McArthur is a 5-foot-8 guard from Cousino High School in Warren. Following the conclusion of her junior 2017-18 season, McArthur already accumulated more than 1,000 career points for the Patriots and was a two-year team captain. As a junior, McArthur was named First Team All-State by the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press.

“She’s strong and a great 3-point shooter who can run the floor,” Guevara said of McArthur.

net, as did the next three to give the Chippewas a 29-18 edge just seven minutes into the game.

“I’m learning to take those shots,” Watters said. “With more playing time (than last year), I can produce more. My teammates kept telling me to shoot more, so I was just trying to find the open spots.”

Watters wasn’t called on to play 38 minutes of defiant basketball like Monday night.

She took a break from timeto-time, giving senior Presley Hudson and sophomore Micaela Kelly a chance to shine from beyond the arc.

As expected, Hudson and

Kelly did just that.

The two guards were in double-digit scoring as individuals at halftime, and they combined for 53 points when the final whistle sounded at McGuirk Arena. On her own, Hudson logged 34 points, four rebounds and six assists.

She was 8-of-14 from the field, 6-of-11 from 3-point range and 12-of-12 from the free throw line.

“Presley’s always ready,” Guevara said. “When your seniors are pretty locked in, it helps everyone else.”

Freshman center Jahari Smith hurried down the lane as Watters flipped a onehanded pass from below her waist. Smith received the ball cleanly and scored for a 55-39 edge as four minutes remained in the first half.

Smith finished with 19 points, while senior forward Reyna Frost chipped in 10 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists – her 33rd career double-double.

Going further than Watters’ offensive bombardment was her tenacious, downyour-throat defense – giving Kelly and Hudson steal opportunities on errant skip passes. But the rising star’s six assists, one turnover performance was highly impressive to Guevara.

The Hilltoppers, down 18

points earlier in the contest, fought back for a seven-point deficit on a layup by Dee Givens from the left side of the lane with 1:45 remaining in the third quarter – forcing Guevara to burn a timeout.

Attempting just one 3-pointer in the second and third quarters, Watters opened the fourth with a corner triple.

To nobody’s surprise, it rattled home for an 86-73 edge. Her next shot did the same for a 16-point Chippewa lead with under 7:15 to play.

At one point near the end of the game, Hudson said someone yelled out, “It looks like Cassie Breen out there, but that’s Maddy Watters.”

Breen started all 35 games as a senior in 2017-18. She scored 12.1 points per game, a majority coming from the 3-point line. Breen held the CMU program record for career 3-pointers made until Hudson passed her up earlier this season with 304 triples.

Through a barrage of free throws, CMU maintained its edge for a 108-90 win against Western Kentucky. Givens paced the Hilltoppers with 23 points, five rebounds and two assists on 9-of-16 shooting from the field.

The Chippewas’ next game is 5 p.m. Wednesday against Central Florida at McGuirk Arena.

TWO CHIPPEWAS EARN 2017-18 SEASON ALL-MAC VOLLEYBALL HONORS Two student athletes on the Central Michigan volleyball team earned All-MAC honors following the 2017-2018 season, despite a 7-21 overall record.

KALINA SMITH Sophomore Kalina Smith was named to the All-MAC second team. Smith averaged 3.18 kills per set, good for seventh in the MAC. On Oct. 19 she tallied a seasonhigh 21 kills against Akron. Smith led the Chippewas with 328 kills on the season.

SAVANNAH THOMPSON The future looks bright for Savannah Thompson, who was selected to the All-MAC

Freshmen team. She was first on the team with 21 service aces and her 259 kills tailed only Smith. She recorded season highs in kills with 15 on Oct. 6 against Northern Illinois and digs with 23 on Oct. 27 against Kent State.

The Chippewas finished last in the MAC West division in the 2017-2018 division finishing 4-12 in the conference and 7-21 overall.

CMU finished fourth in the conference in assists but was placed within the bottom two teams in terms of hitting percentage, blocks, and service aces.
