Apartments, Target under boil advisory after water main break By Ashley Schafer Community Editor news@cm-life.com

Target and Union Square Apartments, located on East Blue Grass Road, are under a boil water advisory after a water main break on Nov. 27. While other properties in the southern part of Charter Township of Union lost water pressure, those are the only two locations under a boil advisory, said Kim Smith, Department of Public Services director for Union Charter Township. The water line leading into Union Square Apartments broke due to an unknown cause, with the first call about it received at about 7:45 a.m., Smith said. The line is being repaired and once the project is complete the water will be turned back on at the main line. “Hopefully it will be back up and running within an hour,” Smith said just before 4 p.m. on

Nov. 27. Smith said the break was isolated to Union Square Apartments and Target. While the apartment complex remains without running water, Target has regained water access. However, both properties remain under a boil water advisory for a couple of days as a precautionary measure, Smith said, until the water can be tested for possible bacterial contaminants. An online flyer posted on the Township’s website states the problem is estimated to be resolved by Friday, Nov. 30. Residents and customers using water from either properties should boil water before drinking or serving it. Boiling the water kills bacteria and other organisms that might be in the water. More information about the advisory or water break can be found on Union Township’s website.

COURT DATE FOR ELLIOTT JULETIDE CONCERT TO TAKE SGA TO HOST STUDENT BODY RESCHEDULED FOR MONDAY PLACE THIS WEEKEND TOWN HALL TODAY Central Michigan University Student Government Association will host another opportunity for students to voice their opinions to members of their governing body. The Student Body Town Hall will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29 in the Sarah and Daniel Opperman Auditorium in Charles V. Park Library. The purpose of the forum is to encourage the student body to express opinions about the university to SGA executive board members. This will be the second annual Student Body Town Hall hosted by SGA. Last year’s Student Body Town

Hall had around 40 community members in attendance, and more than 400 viewers via Facebook Live. “SGA is looking to hear concerns, answer questions and learn what our student body cares about,” said SGA Senate Leader Caroline Murray. “Student should attend to have their voices heard on campus issues.” The event will be livestreamed via the CMU SGA Facebook page. There will be an opportunity to submit questions anonymously online. -Melissa Frick, Staff Reporter

A former Central Michigan University student accused of misconduct and sexual assault has been rescheduled will appear in court Dec. 3. Ian Elliott, 24, of Cheboygan, IAN ELLIOTT is due back in court after a motion to reinstate a case against him and resume proceedings was filed by state Attorney General Bill Schuette. The court date has since been rescheduled from Nov. 16 to 1:15 p.m. Dec. 3, said Megan Hawthorne, press secretary for the attorney general. At the Dec. 3 hearing, Judge 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 in 2016. Elliott was 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. He is accused of sexually assaulting CMU graduate student Rachel Wilson. A trial was previously scheduled for May 7, 2018, but the case was dismissed by the Isabella County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office on April 6, 2018.

City commission approves establishment of Citizens’ Advisory Board By Isaac Ritchey Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Mount Pleasant will move forward with the establishment of a Citizens’ Advisory Board after gaining approval from city commission at the Nov. 26 meeting. A few commissioners described the establishment of the advisory board as a “good first step” toward being a more inclusive and diverse community. City Manager Nancy Ridley said there are new concerns regarding the public perception of the proposal to establish an advisory board, which was first proposed to the commission at its Nov. 12 meeting. Ridley said she did not want citizens of Mount Pleasant to see the board as an “oversight” or “investigative” board and said the goal of the board would be to simply improve the dialogue between minorities and law enforcement. The board would be composed of three members — one appointed by

city commission, one appointed by the Central Michigan University Student Government Association and the third appointed by the Mount Pleasant Area Diversity Group. All commissioners were in favor of establishing the board, however, proposals were made to postpone the establishment until after further discussion takes place. Commissioners Tony Kulick, Kathleen Ling and Lori Gillis said there had not been enough time to critically consider the proposal as written. “At a city board retreat, the discussion leader said there should not be

any rabbits pulled out of the hat,” Gillis said. “Everyone should have time to consume what (city commission) is voting on and think it through. Nothing should be done in a split second.” Three amendments were proposed: to postpone the motion until after it was referred to the city’s new attorney firm in January 2019, to postpone the motion for three months until further discussion and consideration could take place and to postpone the motion until after a work session was held. All three amendments failed to pass. Gillis made it clear the proposed amendments to postpone the

establishment of the board were not made to reject the proposal, but to “dot the I’s and cross the t’s” to make sure the establishment of the board would be sustained longer than its one-year review. Commissioner Will Joseph and Vice Mayor Nicholas Madaj both opposed the amendments and agreed further discussion would not change the decision on the proposal. “I think we are just kicking the can down the road,” Joseph said. “The resolution in front of us already has a review process, and after one year, (city commission) will have the opportunity to see what it’s accomplished and make changes for the better.” Gillis was also concerned that not all local law enforcement agencies were addressed in the proposal — Mount Pleasant Police Department being the only one. “I do not want to isolate and target our city’s employees as a problem,” Gillis said. She suggested including all five of Mount Pleasant’s law enforcement agencies: MPPD, CMUPD, Saginaw

Chippewa Tribal Police Department, Michigan State Police and Isabella County Sheriff’s Department. Gillis said in preparation for the Nov. 26 meeting she canvassed the city going door to door and did not get any complaints about city police from Mount Pleasant residents. Those in the audience were shaking their heads and reacted. “(Attendants) came here tonight with a great deal of hope and trust ... in a commission that has championed inclusivity, citizen involvement and the work local government can do,” Mount Pleasant Area Diversity Group member Andrew Blom said. The proposal passed 6-1, with Kulick opposed. He said he would not vote for the establishment of the CAB until after further discussion was held. From here, Mount Pleasant will work closely with its attorney firm and the Mount Pleasant Area Diversity Group to make revisions to the proposal. Ling said board member applications must be created before they can be made available to potential applicants.

We wish Coach Bono the best EDITORIAL

File photo | Head Coach John Bonamego salutes the crowd after earning his first win with Central Michigan University football. The Chippewas defeated Monmouth 31-10 on Sept. 12.

ohn Bonamego gave us enthusiasm and spirit. As former head football coach at Central Michigan University, Bonamego replaced the dreadful Dan Enos years with the energy he and his wife, Paulette, brought into the community and university. Known around campus as “Bono,” he was beloved. When he was hired in 2015, he called coaching the Chippewas his “dream job.” For once, Chippewa fans realized they had a coach that genuinely wanted to be in Mount Pleasant for the long run. Early in his tenure he was diagnosed with tonsil cancer. Bono inspired the community by waking up at 4 a.m. each day to make the two-and-ahalf-hour trip to Ann Arbor and back for chemotherapy as part of his fight against the disease. After returning, he worked until about 4 p.m., then made the trip home. On Nov. 18, 2015 after becoming bowl eligible with a 27-14 win over Kent State, Bonamego announced that he was cancer free. That diagnosis was a victory for Chippewas everywhere. Not only did Bonamego lead the Chippewas to three bowl games, and a win over Western Michigan, but the 2017 team won eight games for the first time since 2009. Despite being the most recognizable face on campus, Bonamego wasn’t able to produce the results on the field that matched the passion he has for his alma mater.

We want to wish him the best as he leaves CMU to begin a new chapter in his career and life. Bonamego always treated Central Michigan Life reporters with respect, which isn’t something come to expect from head football coaches. He made himself available to students on campus. Bono went out of the way to help students who weren’t student athletes. Three days after he was fired, the Chippewa head coach and Paulette pledged to match any donation made to a Central Michigan Life photographer’s attempt to pay off medical bills after brain surgery. “(Paulette) and I have known (Alanna Sparks) since her freshman year — she is an incredibly courageous young lady,” Bonamego said. Bono certainly had no obligation to help pay her medical bills – especially after he just lost his job. That he was so quickly willing to go out of his way to help someone, even in a time of hardship in his own life, says a lot about the authentic and compassionate person he is. The success of coaches is measured by wins and loses. We don’t measure people that way. From what we’ve seen and experienced from working with this man, Bono will always be one of our favorites who has worn the maroon and gold. Thank you, coach. We wish the Bonamego family all the best in the future.

Friends remember ‘amazing talent’ of junior Sheehan

“

By Mitchell Kukulka Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Molly Sheehan pursued many interests while at Central Michigan University — filmmaking, writing, improvisational comedy and psychology, among other things — though her friends will remember her best for her kindness, intelligence and creativity. Sheehan was killed in a car crash Nov. 23 in Montcalm County, while she was driving back to CMU after Thanksgiving Break. The Iron River junior was 21-years-old. Sheehan was born in Libertyville, Illinois on Nov. 5, 1997 to Michael Sheehan and Jill Ollila. Growing up in Iron River, Sheehan was an active member of a local business club, and won a statewide award through the American Association of University Women. A passionate “film buff,” Sheehan originally came to CMU to study broadcasting, though she switched her major to Family Studies. She decided a steadier income would help her writing career, said her boyfriend, Mount Pleasant senior Christopher DeLorenzo.

To me, I don’t ever get the sense that life is meaningless. It’s something more like, ‘I better do what I can now.’ Eventually, I won’t be able to do anything anymore, so I better soak it up now.” Jordan McGee | Courtesy Photo Molly Sheehan poses for a photo on Sept. 28, 2018 at Island Park in Mount Pleasant.

He met Sheehan two years ago, when they both joined the After Hours improvisational comedy group. Though she was new to improv, DeLorenzo remembers being impressed by her skill and dedication to her performances. After a year of friendship, the pair began

dating in April 2018, and remained a couple until her death. “We both had a lot of respect for each other — we enjoyed each other’s humor and company,” DeLorenzo said. “My first impression of her was being impressed by her abilities as performer and creator. As I got to know her and talk to her more, I really started to realize how deep of a thinker she was.” In addition to DeLorenzo, Sheehan found many of her closest friends through After Hours. For Berkley junior Jordan McGee — one of the few other girls in the group — what began as a casual friendship in the spring semester of 2018 would grow into something much closer the following fall. “(Sheehan) just had this amazing talent onstage,” McGee said. “She was able to light up a room, and light up any stage she was on. (She had) some of the craziest talent I’ve ever seen come out of a 21-year-old. “I found a great amount of empathy in her, and I’m also a very empathetic person, so we were able to help each other in tough times.” If Chesterfield senior and fellow After Hours member Josh Palmer could describe Sheehan in one word, it would be “passionate.” “There was never a half-assed conversation with her — you got 100 percent of her attention,” Palmer said. At the time of her death, Sheehan had lived with Rockwood junior Amy Miller for two years, first in Lexington Ridge and then in The Forum Apartments. The two last communicated online at 3 a.m. on Nov. 23 — 12 hours before the crash — excitedly chatting about the television show “Steven Universe.” “(Sheehan) would like to be remembered as someone who loved and cared for everybody she met,” Miller said. “She’d want us to remember her as a really good friend and great improviser, and someone who had a

-Molly Sheehan lot going for her in life.” Sheehan’s greatest passion was for reading and writing, and she planned to dedicate her life to becoming a professional writer. DeLorenzo described her as a “voracious” reader of all kinds of literature, with a special place in her heart for young adult novels. On Nov. 23, DeLorenzo received one last text from Sheehan right before she began her drive back to school — a photo of the book “The Master and Margarita,” which she had just bought and was excited to read, DeLorenzo said. She wrote many short stories, taking inspiration from many different writers and styles of prose, DeLorenzo said. One of the final stories she wrote — titled “Best Wishes on This Wonderful Journey” — will be published in the Fall 2018 edition of Central Review. Shortly after her death, DeLorenzo revisited a Central Michigan Life article centered around Sheehan published in April 2017. Part of a series of stories about the religious beliefs of students on campus, the article gave Sheehan an opportunity to share her experiences as a “bornagain atheist,” as well as her thoughts on an afterlife. “To me, I don’t ever get the sense that life is meaningless,” Sheehan said in the article. “It’s something more like, ‘I better do what I can now.’ Eventually, I won’t be able to do anything anymore, so I better soak it up now.” Sheehan is survived by her father Michael Sheehan; mother Jill Ollila and stepfather Mick Ollila; maternal grandparents Bruce and Patricia Anderson, and Kay and Reuben Ollila and stepsister Aili Ollila, along with several aunts, uncles and cousins. She is preceded in death by her paternal grandparents George and Dorris Sheehan, and her stepfather Girard Orvis. A private family memorial service will take place near at end of the month. Jill Ollila contributed to this story.

Owner of GameGo Computers provides technology repairs to city By Andrew Mullin Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Near the intersection of North Mission Street and Pickard Road, GameGo Computers hides away on a side street, providing the community with technology repairs, custom gaming PCs and entertainment products. Located at 802 E. Palmer St., the store opened in 2008. Owner Ian Walters, who said he is a self-taught computer expert, is also the manager. The store services anywhere from 10 to 300 people a week. The store provides repairs for laptops, PCs, phones, tablets, gaming consoles, gaming controllers and TVs. “Anything that has a computer in it, we can fix it if it’s fixable,” he said. Ionia junior Morgan Pierce said she went to GameGo two times last semester to fix her computer. Pierce said she appreciated how straight forward Walters was with the price. Vestaburg resident Rose Patch said the pricing was lower compared

to other places she had been to fix her phone screen. She has been to the store a few times and said she gets along with the owner. Overall, she said she is satisfied with the pricing and service. “I don’t know a lot about electronics, but he doesn’t hesitate to explain,” Patch said. “If you have questions, he’s going to talk to

about it.” The store also sells items like used laptops, computer mouses and keyboards among other things. Racks and display cases full of video games for PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo game systems line the walls. The store provides Xbox modifications, custom server builds and custom gaming PC builds.

Walters said custom built computers are based on how much money a customer wants to spend. He said it’s important to determine what games a customer wants to play, since different games require different amounts of power. The three main components to focus on when first designing a PC are the motherboard, processor and RAM, Walters said. The motherboard is like the foundation of a house – everything the customer wants incorporated must be planned out in the foundation. Similarly, the features wanted on a gaming PC should be planned out before building, such as number of RAM slots, number of USB ports and case size. The processor is like a brain – it gives orders to the rest of the computer. The third most important thing to Walters is the amount of RAM space. The amount of RAM memory will effect the computer’s performance he said. Walters said he gained this knowledge from teaching himself about computers. He tries to learn

everything on his own. “I have never gone onto the internet to look up what the problem was and how to fix it,” Walters said. “I’ve always tried to learn myself.” He said his interest in computers began around 1998 when he was living in California doing high-security transportation for a watch company. He knew nothing about computers until he acquired a Dell Dimension desktop computer. Some people might dread calling technical support, however, Walters used it to his advantage. Every time he had a problem with his computer, he would call the Dell help line with a notepad in front of him and would write down the solutions they gave him. He kept learning about computers from there until he decided that he could build his own PC. “By opening the store, it opened my eyes more because I got to deal so many different computers and problems,” Walters said. “I had to figure it out on my own.” Walters said he enjoys meeting new people and bringing his two dogs into work.

Baseball players, pitching coach hid locker room thefts from former coach Jaksa until police were involved

aron McLatcher was nervous when he arrived at Park Library on March 26, 2017. The assistant director of strength and conditioning for Central Michigan University's baseball team believed he was about to be confronted by one of the players he trained. Eight years after McLatcher was hired as a student volunteer for the Chippewas, police believe he began stealing prescription Adderall pills from baseball players. He was at the library that night to return stolen Adderall to a pitcher who claimed to have caught the theft on video. One year later, after he was placed on administrative leave and while a police investigation was underway, McLatcher left Central Michigan for Davenport University.

March 2017. The police listed three victims in the report. McLatcher did not respond to a request for comment for this story. The pitcher that McLatcher believed was going to confront him in Park Library was interviewed by police on May 17 by phone. He told investigators he had 20-30 Adderall pills stolen throughout the 2015-16 school year. The pitcher has since graduated and declined to be interviewed for this story, but teammates provided off-the-record perspective about the team. At first, the pitcher believed one of his teammates was stealing the pills. After pills went missing again in 2017, he began to suspect McLatcher was the thief. The pitcher was close with McLatcher. He looked up to him and considered McLatcher more than just a trainer. He trusted McLatcher with the health of his body and on-field play. McLatcher was a friend. Despite the bond between the athlete and coach, all signs of the theft pointed to McLatcher as the likely suspect. That’s when the pitcher came up with a plan to finally discover who was stealing his Adderall. w CAUGHT | 12

COACH DIDN’T REPORT RUMORS, PLAYER LAYS TRAP “After having some of my Adderall stolen the past few weeks and having some stolen last year I decided Thursday that I was going to set up a fake Adderall pill in my locker not in the prescription bottle and set up my camera across the locker room to film all day Friday and (Sunday). And today I got you on camera. And I will be taking this video to (Executive Associate Athletic Director Cristy Freese) first thing in the morning if I don’t get a text from this person with an explanation and my pills returned by 10 p.m. tonight.” – Pitcher in text message to teammates On March 23, 2017, the pitcher decided he was going to attempt to catch the person who was stealing his medication. CMU’s upcoming home games at Theunissen Stadium would give him the perfect setting in the Keilitz Clubhouse. The Chippewas played a double-header on March 24 and one game on March 26 – all against Missouri State. Following Sunday’s game, all CMU pitchers, former pitching coach Jeff Opalewski and McLatcher received the text message above at 6:56 p.m. The pitcher did not actually have a hidden camera in the locker room. He just wanted his teammates and coaches to believe he did. The pitcher wanted to see who, if anyone, would come forward. Opalewski was contacted by the pitcher regarding the missing Adderall before the three-game series. “There was just a rumor that I caught wind of. I heard there was an issue (of drugs being stolen),” Opalewski said. One of the pitcher's teammates said Opalewski stepped out of the way because he expected that a player was stealing the Adderall. Opalewski wanted to let the team work out the situation internally. The pitcher later contacted his pitching coach and told him the pills were returned and the theft issue was resolved. Opalewski took no further action. He also did not bring the theft to head coach Steve Jaksa's attention. After the survey information was received by baseball staff, they interviewed 12 players in a room at Rose Center, according to police records. During that conversation they realized the incident – theft of a prescription drug from a student – was a criminal complaint and should be reported to police.

“We were all in a room and left with the understanding that it wasn’t our place to talk,” Opalewski said. “When everything happened, I was asked not to speak about it.” Opalewski did not discuss the situation again until he was contacted by police following the start of the investigation in May 2018. Police also met with Alford, Director of Employee Relations Kevin Smart, Executive Director of Faculty Personnel Services Dennis Armistead and Director of Employee Relations Scott Hoffman. Meanwhile, other members of the team knew of the ongoing thefts, but they did not report the information to baseball staff, either. Although he told police he was adamant that he did not want to press charges against McLatcher for swiping his Adderall, the pitcher was furious. He did not speak with McLatcher for weeks. The upperclassmen on the team followed his lead. When McLatcher showed his face in the locker room, players looked the other way. One other baseball player claims he had Adderall stolen from the locker room. The theft was never resolved. That player told CMUPD Det. Jason VanConat that in March 2015, he left a bottle of Adderall in his locker. After taking the field, the player returned to find 10-15 Adderall pills were missing. He did not report the incident and had no idea who took the pills. Another student told VanConat that

some of the older players warned him that McLatcher took medication from the locker room in the past. Jaksa and other coaches and team staff told CMUPD they did not know about the stolen Adderall. Only Opalewski told police that he discussed the Adderall theft with a player. On May 23, 2018, VanConat reached out to McLatcher. Hours later, he received a fax from McLatcher’s attorney, David Barberi, stating McLatcher would not be making any statements to police. VanConat completed the investigation. On June 12, the Isabella County Prosecuting Attorney's Office informed officers that it would not authorize charges against McLatcher. In August, McLatcher accepted the position of director of strength and conditioning at Davenport University in Grand Rapids.

PLAYERS WANT ED JAKSA, OTHERS FIRED On a baseball team there is one person who is expected to hold everyone accountable – including players and coaches like Opalewski and McLatcher. For the Chippewas that person was Jaksa – head coach, mentor and the face of CMU baseball for almost two decades. He was also known for being volatile, and was cited for his behavior several times during his tenure according to his personnel file. Those who had knowledge of the Adderall thefts kept the situation quiet, prefer-

ring to handle it without the head coach's help. “The head coach is responsible for the culture of the team,” Alford said. “They are in charge of their overall program. They are the CEO of that program.” In Jaksa’s 16 years as head coach, he led the Chippewas to three Mid-American Conference regular season championships and six MAC West Division titles. However, CMU’s last tournament championship was earned in 1995 under coach Dean Kreimer, who won 516 total games from 1985-98. Prior to the start of the 2018 season, Alford instructed Jaksa to “get back to (the) winning tradition.” Jaksa failed to meet that standard. The Chippewas ended the season 2930-1 overall. Many players sought immediate change. Some demanded Jaksa be fired before the 2018 season even began. Comments submitted by players include: • “We need to rebuild. I want to bring back a winning tradition. That means work ethic and leadership, and it starts with the coaches.” • “Not what I expected at all when I was recruited to come here.” • “It’s time for a head coaching change.” • “Fire the coaching staff and get some people who care about everyone and care about winning.” • “No respect for him at all. Worst

coach I’ve ever had.” Jaksa ranked low in four specific categories – organization, interaction with his coaching staff, administrative abilities and communication skills. Jaksa's players, upon finding out of McLatcher's larceny while attempting to remain silent, became aware of the serious threats inside the locker room. Nobody acted out, but everyone was aware. Negativity in the locker room, such as thefts and distrust between players and staff, can cause a team to sway from its winning tradition. “I think everything that happens affects the team,” Opalewski said. On May 31, Jaksa was summoned to Alford’s office for a meeting about the future of the program. By the time that meeting was over, Jaksa retired as head coach following the 2018 season. He collected 507 career wins for the Chippewas. “The opportunity to help mold these young men meant a great deal to me,” Jaksa said in a June 1 athletics press release at the time of his retirement. “Know that a small piece of my heart will always be with my players.” On Aug. 15 – 75 days later – Jaksa quickly came out of retirement to become head coach at Saginaw Valley State University. He did not respond to a request for comment for this story.

NEW BEGINNING Since Jaksa’s retirement, Alford conducted a nationwide search for a new baseball coach. He found a replacement just 27 miles away at Northwood University in Midland. Jordan Bischel was hired as Jaksa’s successor on June 28. “(Bischel) really stood out with the culture of his organization,” Alford said. “We get the details in those interviews. I have high expectations.” By July 1, McLatcher and Opalewski were also gone from the baseball program. McLatcher, who officially resigned from CMU on June 20, has worked at Davenport for almost five months. Davenport Athletic Director Paul Lowden and head coach Kevin Tidey were contacted for comment for this story. When questioned about whether Opalewski should have reported the missing Adderall after first hearing about it, he said he was “comfortable” with his response. After the 2018 season, Opalewski left Mount Pleasant to become a pitching coach for the Post Grad Program at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. “I’m pretty comfortable with everything,” Opalewski said. “I don’t think that there’s any benefit to looking back and wondering if I would’ve done something different.”

What’s next for CMU football after Bonamego’s firing? It was an ugly ending for Central Michigan football head coach John Bonamego. Coming off the worst loss of the worst season in CMU history, Bonamego avoided questions about his future with the program. Hours later, it was confirmed that John Bonamego was fired as head coach. “Making a leadership change is a difficult decision, especially when you know that coach has given his all to CMU,” Athletic Director Michael Alford said in an official statement. Bonamego’s head coaching career, which started with an entire community rallying around him during his fight against cancer, had come to a halt after four seasons as CMU’s leader.

Dylan Goetz Sports Editor

“I’ll never quit,” Bonamego said after his last game as CMU head coach. “There isn’t a person on the planet that’s more disappointed than I am.” On Nov. 21, Bonamego celebrated his three-year anniversary of being cancer free. He was fired two days later, following a 51-13 loss to Toledo in the final game of the 2018 season. His firing came only 339 days after Athletic Director Michael

Alford signed Bonamego to a five-year extension through 2022. It raised his salary to more than $600,000. In 2018, he was guaranteed at least $655,900. The buyout price was set at $1.125 million after the extension. However, it is unlikely that Bonamego will actually walk away with that much. Alford and Bonamego will agree on a lower amount. When CMU announced the firing as a “leadership change,” it also noted that Alford is partnering with DHR International to find a new coach. Alford reportedly has started the search. One popular name that has popped up on Twitter is Ferris State head coach Tony Annese, who may be looking for another challenge and a bigger paycheck.

According to The Morning Sun, Annese interviewed for the head coaching job back in 2015 before Bonamego was hired. Annese, who earned a Master’s degree in educational administration at CMU, refuted the report days later by saying “I have not talked with Central Michigan at all nor have I interviewed.” We will see how in touch Alford is with the state of Michigan, if at all. He didn’t have any connection to CMU prior to being hired. In the past, CMU has had success with a clear coaching style. Hire someone who wants to build a program, who doesn’t want to be at CMU for the rest of their life. Someone that will bring the Chippewas to the top of the MidAmerican Conference then split

(see Brian Kelly and Butch Jones). Alford can’t expect to find someone with the same passion Bonamego had for his alma mater. He should try to find someone who is making a name for himself in college football, who could benefit from a head coaching job in Mount Pleasant. It is clear — CMU needs someone who is willing to accept a project. The team was 1-11 this year, and multiple recruits have already changed their commitment after Bonamego was fired. The Chippewas need someone who wants to build a program. They need someone who can restore the winning ways, and who will likely move on to a bigger school. That is the only way MAC schools can consistently compete.

Senior wrestler Atienza prides himself on loyalty to CMU By Austin Chastain Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

The Central Michigan wrestling team only has two upperclassman — one senior and one junior. The Chippewas graduated three wrestlers last year. The team only had five returning starters going into this season. They expected to return with seven starters, but two top wrestlers — Mason Smith and Justin Oliver— transfered in the offseason. Jordan Atienza is the lone senior for the Chippewas. Despite the 0-1 start against the University of Michigan, Atienza believes his leadership can help the Chippewas succeed. “When things go wrong, there are a lot of eyes on me,” Atienza said. “It will be a good opportunity for me to grow as a person. I can’t always act the way I want to. I can’t always say what I want to. I have to act and say what might be best for the team.” Atienza posted a 66-44 record during his time at CMU, dating back to the end of last season. He has qualified for the NCAA Championships last season with an at-large bid. He was forced to withdraw from the Mid-American Conference Championships last year due to a shoulder injury, but he knows how

Ben Suddendorf | Staff Photographer Senior Jordan Atienza makes a last effort to break a dangerous hold on Nov. 11 at McGuirk Arena.

successful the team can be. “His conditioning is not where he wants it to be,” head coach Tom

Borrelli said regarding Atienza’s injury. “He’s not quite to where he was last year when he got hurt.”

The Livonia native is leading the way for the 13 wrestlers who joined the program alongside

him. Atienza prides himself on being loyal to the program. “Loyalty goes a long way,” he said. “I’m not trying to point fingers at certain individuals, but five years later it’s just me. I hope that these guys can see that I stuck it out.” Atienza wants the Chippewas to hold him accountable as a leader. “I expect the team to demand a lot from me,” he said. “I’m only one person and can only do so much but I expect them to hold me to the highest possible standard, that’s how we all get better.” Borelli expects a lot from Atienza. He said the leadership needs to come from setting the right example in practice and at meets. “I think the best way he can help out is to listen, and try to be the right type of leader, and lead by example as much as possible,” Borelli said. Borelli also recognizes Atienza’s loyalty to the Chippewas and how he wants to change in the program. “He’s a fifth-year senior that’s been through a lot, he’s seen a lot of teams that haven’t been as united as we would like our teams to be,” Borelli said. Assistant coach Ben Bennett, a former four-time All-American for the Chippewas, sees a lot of potential in Atienza as a leader. “He’s been through it all,” Bennett said. “The sky is the limit for him.”

How Central Michigan landed star freshman center Jahari Smith By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Sue Guevara sat quietly watching prospects participate in an AAU tournament at a gym in Ypsilanti during Spring 2016. Along with the Central Michigan coach were her two assistants Heather Oesterle and Murriel Page, all three at different courts. “Coach, I think you need to come down here,” Oesterle told Guevara over a text message. Guevara walked a few courts down and observed yet another AAU contest, just as she had all spring. “Alright, what are we looking at?” Guevara asked her assistant. Oesterle pointed out Bolingbrook High School center Jahari Smith, who was in her junior year at the time, but now a member of the Central Michigan women’s basketball team. Now, she’s a starter as a freshman and working to fill the shoes of 2018 Mid-American Conference Player of the Year Tinara Moore. Oesterle, in her eighth season as an assistant to Guevara, had already built an exquisite relationship with Chris Smith, the head coach at Bolingbrook High School in Illinois,

LIFE IN BRIEF

and saw the future Chippewa play during an open gym session. “I called him because we were looking for post players in that class,” Oesterle said. “He wanted her to be at a program that wins, and she wants to win.” When Guevara first saw Smith play at the AAU tournament in 2016, the 6-foot-2 center wasn’t necessarily a standout, but she had potential. Guevara decided to keep an eye on Smith and further her recruitment to CMU. Guevara and Oesterle took a different recruiting approach to recruit. Some players look in the stands during each game to see which college coaches are at the game. Prior to securing Smith’s commitment, Guevara spent her fair share of time using the babysitter method of recruiting and still failed to get specific prospects. “Some schools watch every single game all summer,” Guevara said. “We weren’t at every game like others for Jahari. I think it’s the relationship with the kid, parents and coaches.” Instead of going to every game, they pitched the culture of graduation and winning. Following an in-home visit, Smith went to CMU for her official visit in the fall of 2017 with her mother. The center was given an opportunity to meet the players, explore campus and

discuss her future. “Let’s look at Central Michigan and how we’ve done against a lot of other schools. We have rings,” Guevara said to Smith. While some programs offered Smith early playing time, Guevara was honest with her. “I will never promise playing time,” Guevara said. “But look at our history; we’ve had (MAC) Freshman of the Year winners. Freshmen have to play. That was my whole point.” Four programs hosted Smith for an official visit, and CMU was the last to do so. She went home to talk with her high school coach and parents about her pending decision. Then, on Nov. 1, 2017, Smith committed to Central Michigan. “Why did you make that decision?” Guevara asked. “Well coach, I know you win,” Smith responded. “You’re right,” CMU’s 12thyear coach said. “And you’re going to help us continue to win.”

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

MEN’S BASKETBALL SIGNS THREE PLAYERS TO 2019-20 CLASS Central Michigan men’s basketball team added three players to its 2019-20 class. It involves two guards — 6-foot-5 Travon Broadway and 6-foot-2 Devontae Lane — with one forward in 6-foot-9 Caleb Hodgson. These three players are the first three of CMU’s 2019-20 class. They have also offered three-star recruits Lucas Croft and Myron Gardner, two-star recruit Donovan Moore and unranked recruits Drew Lowder and KJ Cunningham, according to 247Sports. Here is a breakdown of the three players: n Travon Broadway is with the Iowa Western Community College after playing last season with St. Petersburg Community College. With SPCC, the Miami, FL native averaged 14.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. Broadway made the FCSAA AllConference First Team. He was a four-year starter at Coral Springs Christian Academy where he averaged 20.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. n Devontae Lane has an interesting connection to CMU as he played with

current CMU players David DiLeo and Rob Mongomery in his past. He played with DiLeo at Iowa West High School which is also where head coach Keno Davis attended. He led the Trojans to two state titles and averaged 14.9 points, 4.1 assists and 3.1 steals as a senior. In his four-year high school tenure, he totaled over 1,000 points. He played the last two seasons with Montgomery at Indian Hills Community College, as the point guard for a team who went 33-1 a season ago. n Caleb Hogdson is still a senior at Dansville High School. He was rated a three-star prospect by 247Sports, ESPN and Rivals. The 6-foot-9 forward totaled 1,286 points, 838 rebounds and 258 blocks with Dansville while shooting at a 47 percent clip from beyond the arc. Last season as a junior, Hogdson averaged 23 points, 14 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game which earned him First Team AllState mentions from the Associated Press, Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press. -Andrew McDonald, Staff Reporter
