as a line technician for 24 years at the Delfield Company.

STAT E SENATOR RACE — 33RD DISTRICT The Associated Press has declared Republican Rick Outman the winner of the race for the 33rd District State Senate seat. Outman defeated Democrat Mark Bignell on Nov. 6. Outman received 36,596 votes and Bignell received 23,341 votes with 77 percent of precincts reporting.

Outman’s political experience includes serving three terms as the State House representative for the 70th District from 2011 to 2016. Outman, of Six Lakes, is endorsed by Emmons, County Road Association of Michigan, AgriPac, Congressman John Moolenaar and Right to Life Michigan. According to the “Rick Outman for State Senate” Facebook page, Outman is a proud conservative, small business owner, farmer, husband, father and is pro-life and pro-Second Amendment.

Bignell earned an associate’s degree in accounting from Montcalm Community College before transferring to Grand Valley State University. He then attended West Michigan CDL for training in logistics.

MOUNT PLEASANT CITY COMMISSION Central Michigan University alumni Lori Gillis, Amy Perschbacher and Petro Tolas were elected to serve three-year terms on the Mount Pleasant City Commission.

Pershbacher and Tolas will take Mayor Allison Quast-Lents’ and Vice Mayor Nicholas Madaj’s positions on the commission.

Front-runner Lori Gillis has been re-elected for another term as a Mount Pleasant City Commissioner. Gillis won 22.8 percent of the vote for a total of 3,007 votes cast.

REPRESENTATIVE IN STAT E LEGISLATURE — 99TH DISTRICT Incumbent Roger Hauck (RUnion Township) defeated Democrat Kristen Brown in the election for the 99th District State House seat. Hauck received 16,127 votes and Brown received 14,062 votes.

Brown was born and raised in Mount Pleasant, graduating from Mount Pleasant High School in 1985. She has a Bachelor of Arts in political science/pre-law degree from Michigan State University. Brown earned her Juris Doctor from Detroit College of Law and has worked as a lawyer for 23 years.

Hauck grew up on a farm in Beal City and graduated from Beal City High School. Before being elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 2016, Hauck worked

ISABELLA COUNTY PROSECUTING ATTORNEY Republican David Barberi will serve as Isabella County’s prosecuting attorney after receiving 11,914 votes in the county compared to his opponent Larry King’s 9,968 votes.

The position was vacated by Risa Hunt-Scully after she left the prosecutor’s office in February to take a position at the Michigan Attorney General’s office, half-way through DAVID BARBERI her second term.

Barberi won the primary election in August, beating out fellow Republican candidates David Gilbert and Robert Holmes.

Barberi studied as an undergrad at Central Michigan University, later earning his Juris Doctorate from Thomas Jefferson School of Law. Barberi worked as a public defender and at his father’s firm, Barberi Law.

ISABELLA COUNTY PROBAT E JUDGE Stuart Black will be Probate Judge of Isabella County for a sixyear term, which would make him the first African American judge in the county.

STUART BLACK Black received 10,125 votes compared to his opponent Sara Spencer-Noggle’s 9,557 votes in the county.

He will replace Judge William Ervin, who is retiring.

Black graduated Magna Cum Laude from Cooley Law School in Lansing and has spent his career working at the Isabella County Prosecutor’s Office.

He lives in Mount Pleasant, raising two sons, Marcus and Miles, with his wife, Carlin who is an English professor at Central Michigan University.

Outside of work, Black is a volunteer soccer coach for Mount Pleasant Parks and Recreation.

As probate judge, Black will make decisions regarding cases that deal with estate matters, adoptions and guardianship.

“The probate court, commonly known as the “helping court,” serves and protects our most vulnerable citizens, including children, vulnerable adults, and individuals with mental health needs,” Black said in a previous interview with

Central Michigan Life. “As a father of two young boys and the lead prosecutor in abuse and neglect cases, I have a strong desire to be a voice for those whose voices are not typically heard.”

Black’s focus as probate judge will be on implementing a mental health court in the county. For the past year, he said he has been working with Community Mental Health, law enforcement officers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and substance abuse providers to “initiate a court that holds individuals with mental health needs accountable while also connecting them with services they need.”

“Assisting those who are most in need versus just incarcerating them is primarily what I am about.” he said.

PROPOSAL 1 Michigan voters approved Proposal 18-1, making recreational marijuana legal in Michigan.

Proposal One will allow adults 21 and older to possess and use marijuana products and grow 12 plants for personal use. The proposal will also implement a licensing system for marijuana businesses that determines how many plants can be grown.

In addition, the proposal will impose a 10-ounce limit for marijuana kept at residences and require amounts over 2.5 ounces be secured in locked containers.

Cannabis still remains federally illegal under the Controlled Substances Act, classified as a schedule

I drug alongside LSD, ecstasy and heroin.

However, Michigan legalized marijuana for medical use in 2008 and is now the 10th state plus Washington D.C. to legalize recreational marijuana.

According to a CNN article citing BDS Analytics, the emerging cannabis industry “took in nearly $9 billion in sales in 2017,” and is estimated to rise to $21 billion in 2021.

With this, the industry has been creating jobs and opportunities.

The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol is a political action committee that collected signatures to get Proposal One onto the ballot, leading the push for legalization.

“Prop. 1 does not change CMU policies or federal law — both of which prohibit the possession, use and distribution of marijuana by students, employees and any person on university properties and at all university events,” President Bob Davies said in an email.

There will be a 10 percent sales tax on marijuana sales and the money collected will go to schools, roads, implementation costs, clinical trials and municipalities that have marijuana businesses.

According to their website, the coalition states that legalizing marijuana allows the substance to be regulated, weakens illegal drug trafficking and might generate $1.6 billion in annual marijuana sales by 2023.

Healthy and Productive Michigan is the group who led the push

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | NOV. 8, 2018 against legalization. They say this proposal would be detrimental to public health and any revenue gained from this proposal would be outweighed by injuries related to drug use and administrative costs.

BUSCH AND BELTINCK, ROAD COMMISSIONERS Busch and Beltinck will be Isabella County Road Commissioners, each serving a six-year term.

Busch was the only democrat running for road commissioner, receiving 10,467 votes. Beltinck, Republican, secured the other position with 11,650 votes.

Busch received his Bachelor’s degree in geography from the University of Montana and is currently the owner of Buckley’s Mountainside Canoes, a family owned company based in Mount Pleasant.

Kelly Beltinck would be be re-elected to the Isabella County Road Commission, serving a sixyear term.

Beltinck’s top priority on the Road Commission is to continue to improve the roads and paying more attention to the roads that need improving. He is a farmer for Cornerstone Acres, a Northern Michigan Company that specializes in raising

Boer and Boer/Kiko cross goats.

According to www.isabellaroads. com, county road commissions were created in 1909 with two primary goals: to provide uniformity in road construction and maintenance across the state and provide cost-efficient and high-quality road services for local roads.

County road commissions hold monthly, and in some cases weekly, meetings in which the public is encouraged to attend. They also schedule public hearings meant to inform the public on various road and safety issues.

Every county road commission has a board of commissioners that consist of three members. In Isabella County commissioners are elected.

There are 82 county road commissions across Michigan. County road commissions are not a part of general county government, with the only exception being Wayne County.

U.S. CONGRESS, SENAT E Incumbents Debbie Stabenow and John Moolenaar were each re-elected.

Republican John Moolenaar will serve his third term as U.S. House

of Representative for Michigan’s 4th Congressional District after defeating his opponent Jerry Hilliard in the 2018 midterm election.

The Associated Press called the race at about 9:19 p.m. with Moolenaar winning with about 63 percent of the DEBBIE vote to Hilliard’s STABENOW 36 percent.

Sen. Stabenow will serve her fourth term as Michigan’s Congressional Senator, defeating her opponent and Republican candidate John James.

The Associated Press projected Stabbenow to win at about 11:20 p.m, holding roughly 52 percent of the votes.

Stabenow will continue to serve in Congress alongside Democrat Sen. Gary Peters, whose term ends in 2020.

“I am going to Washington to defend Michigan,” Stabenow said in her victory speech.

In her speech, Stabenow also alluded to the Democratic dominance at the Michigan polls and said she is excited to “govern to get

things done.”

Before he was elected as a representative in 2014, Moolenaar was was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 2002 where he served three terms. Then in 2010, he served one term as a Michigan Senator.

He is also currently a member of the House Committee of Appropriations and the Republican study committee.

One of the main issues that Moolenaar focused on during his campaign was healthcare reform, arguing that the American people do not want a government-run health care system.

Some of the other issues that Moolenaar focused on during his campaign were helping military veterans and fighting for a more balanced budget.

Moolenaar was born a raised in Midland. He received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Hope University and his master’s degree in public administration from Harvard.

Before becoming a politician, Moolenaar worked as a chemist for Dow Chemical and a business development director for the Small Business Center for the Middle

Michigan Development Corporation. He has also worked as an administrator at Midland Academy of Advanced and Creative Studies.

Moolenaar’s political career first started in 1997 when he was elected to the Midland City Council where he served until 2000.

Moolenaar will be serving as the Representative for Michigan’s 4th Congressional District until 2021 when the term ends.

Michigan has 14 representatives who are elected to two-year terms to serve the people of a certain Congressional District. According to www.house.gov, the responsibilities of a representative include introducing resolutions and bills, serving on committees and offering amendments.

Stabenow is focused on growing a diverse economy and standing up for Michigan families, according to her website.

She was born in Gladwin and raised 25 miles away in Clare. Her family volunteered in her community and in the Clare United Methodist Church where she learned the importance of faith, family and hard work.

SUPPORT OUR NATION’S VETERANS This Veteran’s Day make sure to tell our service men and women, thank you

T

his Sunday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day. Monday, federal and state offices will be closed and observances will be held.

It is a national observance that recognizes those who have served in the military, retired and current, who put their lives on the line everyday for our country.

On Veterans Day, and in the celebrations that follow, make sure you let our veterans know how much you appreciate their service. Let those who fight for our freedoms know we support them.

Veterans Day began as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919. It was created to observe the first anniversary of the end of World War I. In 1926, Congress passed a resolution creating an annual observance.

In 1938, Nov. 11 became a national holiday.

In recent years, supporting our veterans has been used as a political platform.

Candidates who are running for office stress the need to support veterans while they’re in service

EDITORIAL and when they come home. That commitment to serving veterans sometimes ends with the conclusion of the campaign event.

Some 16 million Americans living today have served in at least one war. About 5 million Americans have served during peacetime. More than 10 percent of men have served in the military. About 1 percent of the women in America are veterans.

Those numbers illustrate the pride Americans feel by enlisting in the armed forces.

Yet, our political leaders in Washington don’t always show veterans the respect they deserve.

According to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, 11 percent of the adult homeless population are veterans.

This, the coalition says is due to shortage of affordable housing, livable income and access to healthcare. On top of that, many veterans deal with PTSD and substance abuse.

This is unacceptable.

We need to take care of our veterans.

A veteran returning from serving should not have to worry about finding somewhere to live, a place to work and whether they have access to mental health treatment.

We also want to thank the ROTC students here at Central Michigan University for their service and for setting an example of selflessness. Those men and women are training to serve for us all one day, long after we’re all out of college. Make sure they know they are supported and valued.

On Veterans Day, take a moment to appreciate all that they do, and have done, for all us.

They have earned it.

Putting an end to the opioid epidemic is as crucial as ever Bridget Bittmann Staff Reporter

M

y brother was a heroin addict for more than a decade.

“Addiction was a full time job. No matter what, no matter how much heroin, pills, you have, you’re still worried about ‘well alright, that’s enough for today; what am I going to do tomorrow?’” my brother told me.

The thing about opioid addiction is that it doesn’t matter what family you were born into or whether you were rich or poor. Drugs can find their way into your life.

“Some of my friends had some OxyContin,” my brother explained. “It wasn’t like I was hanging out with bad kids. As far as anyone knows, it could be anyone. It’s not just the kids from the wrong side of the track like they always made it out to be.”

Opioid addiction doesn’t discriminate.

It’s a disease that will grab hold of anyone who comes within fingertip length.

It took my brother being homeless during the middle of winter in Wisconsin to finally make the decision to sober up.

Recovery is no easy task. Truthfully, my brother is lucky he didn’t end up dead like so many others.

Addiction is a disease. This disease is taking its toll in Michigan.

In Michigan, there will be 18.5 overdose deaths for every 100,000 people compared to the national average of 13.3 deaths per 100,000 people.

This needs to come to an end, but where do we start?

Let’s look at where opioid addiction starts. For my brother, it was OxyContin, a drug prescribed to people for pain often after surgery.

In the state of Michigan, doctors wrote 9.5 million opioid prescriptions in 2015. Why are we making addictive drugs so readily available?

Michigan lawmakers say they’ve passed laws to help curb the opioid epidemic. Yet, these laws just say that a parent must sign off on an opioid prescription for a minor, and the

PROFESSIONAL STAFF DIRECTOR OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS DAVE CLARK ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS KATHY SIMON PRODUCTION ASSISTANT DAWN PAINE

provider must warn all patients of the risk of taking an opioid.

The problem with this law is it doesn’t inhibit providers from actually prescribing these pills.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, if a doctor prescribes you a 5-day opioid prescription, you have a 10 percent chance of becoming addicted.

It’s not as if there aren’t other painkillers available that are less addictive. Why are we not prescribing those instead?

While one problem with the opioid epidemic is the beginning stage, the second problem finds itself at the other end of the story.

Addicts are being thrown in jail

for drug charges rather than being put in treatment.

When an addict is put in jail, they may go through withdrawal and be sober just long enough to clear their head, but they aren’t given the resources or care to truly get better.

More likely than not, after an addict is released, they will return to using and end up in jail again.

According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, drug offenders make up 46.1 percent of all inmates. Keeping all of these people in jail is not cheap either.

If we even took 40 percent of convicted addicts and put them in treatment over jail, the government could save $12.9 billion, according to the Foundations Recovery Network.

Drug courts have begun to help with this issue. These are institutions that work with drug offenders to get them into rehab and recovery and provide lighter sentencing.

Drug courts have a lower re-offense rate than regular courts and have proven to be helpful. While the institution itself is more expensive, they actually save about $6,000 per offender when the long-term costs are taken into account.

However, drug courts alone have notcompletely solved the issue we face today.

The opioid epidemic is still a massive problem.

My brother was one of the lucky ones.

How many other have to die before we work to put an end to this problem?

Whitmer vows to fix Michigan roads, schools as 49th governor

T

By Mitchell Kukulka | Investigative Editor

o the tune of U2’s 2000 hit “Beautiful Day,” Michigan’s 49th governor stepped onto the stage at the Motor City Casino in Detroit on Nov. 6 to speak to a crowd of her new constituents.

“This victory belongs to you,” Gretchen Whitmer told the crowd. “We may have all gone to the polls for very different reasons, but today we as Michiganders came out because we all love this state, and because we want a Michigan that works for every one of us.”

For the Lansing-born “lifelong Michigander,” Whitmer’s victory over Republican Bill Schuette in the Nov. 6 gubernatorial election marks a new milestone in her 12-year political career.

Born in 1971 in Lansing, Whitmer was the eldest of three children for Richard and Sherry Whitmer, both lawyers. According to her website, Whitmer learned the importance of respecting everyone from the mixture of political views in her household -- Sherry was a Democrat and assistant attorney general under Frank Kelley, while Richard served as head of the Department of Commerce under Gov. William Milliken and later became CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.

Whitmer studied communications at Michigan State Univesity, earning her bachelors degree in 1993, and her Juris Doctorate from Detroit College of Law at Michigan State University in 1998. She began her path to the governor’s seat in 2000, when she was elected to the Michigan

House of Representatives.

She served as a State Senator from 2006 to 2015. On May 11, 2016, Whitmer was appointed as the interim Ingham County Prosecutor after her predecessor Stuart Dunnings III was arrested and charged with 11 counts of involvement with a prostitute and four counts of willful neglect of duty.

Serving in the position for six months, Whitmer left an impact on the office by establishing a Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Unit that went after abusers and sped up the rehabilitation of non-violent first-time offenders, among other things.

RACE FOR GOVERNOR Whitmer announced her candidacy for the 2018 Michigan gubernatorial election on Jan. 3, 2017. She was popular locating,winning the Democratic Primary in Isabella County with 3,175 votes, beating runner-up Abdul

El-Sayed with 1,823 votes.

Fixing “the damn roads” quickly became an important slogan in her campaign, and one of the many points she focus on with her proposed ‘Getting it Done: Rebuild Michigan’ plan for the state’s infrastructure. Whitmer’s education plan aims to reform public education by providing support “quality education from cradle to career.”

Whitmer has also declared herself an active women’s rights advocate. She has made it clear throughout her campaign that equality will be a priority in her role as governor. Whitmer plans to turn Michigan “into a model state for equality.”

Early in her campaign, Whitmer took the image of the Mackinac Bridge to be a symbol of her candidacy, saying that the “Mighty Mac” represents the legacy of hard work and problem-solving by Michigan citizens when they come together.

“At a time where we see too many people who want to divide us through building walls, I think we in Michigan need to get back to building bridges,” Whitmer said during her inauguration.

Whitmer will be joined in office by her Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II. A progressive political activist with a background in computer programming, the 35-year-old worked as an organizer for the MoveOn.org and managed social media for Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign.

“Tonight is a statement that we can accomplish anything we set our hearts to,” Gilchrist said during the inauguration. “We can accomplish everything we set our imaginations to, and if history has not yet been made, then we can make it.”

A Detroit native and father of twins, Gilchrist began working as the first ever director of Innovation & Emerging Technology in Detroit in 2014. He said he hopes to improve Michigan’s public schools, job market and infrastructure while in office, as well as bringing the people of the state together.

“We have people who do not want to be discriminated against based on how they present, based on who they love, based and where they live and what people think they can accomplish,” Gilchrist said.

THE NEW FACE OF MICHIGAN The Central Michigan University College Democrats hosted a joint party with the Isabella County Democratic Party on election night at the Riverwood Resort. For Port Huron senior Clara Alderman, the group’s president, watching Whitmer’s nomination was a groundbreaking moment.

“I am completely ecstatic (about Whitmer winning),” Alderman said. “She worked very hard for it, she’s very experienced and I have no doubt that she’s going to do an amazing job.”

Alderman said the College Democrats, and Democrats in general, are very happy with the four top positions in Michigan government being taken not only by their candidates, but all women as well.

College Republicans are satisfied with gains made by their party on a national level, though they would have liked to see more progress in Michigan, said Flushing sophomore Jacob McCullough. “(Whitmer) has a lot of good things she wants to do — I found that her and Schuette wanted to do a lot of the same things, but the way they want to implement them is very different,” McCullough said.

College Republican president Jeff Malear said while its upsetting Michigan Republicans did not win more, he hopes Whitmer succeeds in her role.

“At the end of the day, she still is my governor,” Malear said.

“Whether she has ‘Republican’ or ‘Democrat’ next to her name, I hope she’s successful.”

For both organizations, the next couple of months will be a time to relax and regroup after the past months of hectic campaigning.

Malear said the College Republicans will be focusing on thanking its members for their hard work, while the College Democrats are aiming to keep the momentum going and grow their membership.

“Voting registration never ends — its a 24-hour commitment,” Alderman said. “Getting people registered is important, not only in elections, but especially on college campuses.”

Sam Shriber | Staff Reporter Academic Senate discusses recently implemented student services fee during their bi-weekly meeting on Nov. 6 in Pearce 127.

Academic Senate questions fairness of student services fee

By Samantha Shriber Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

During the Nov. 6 Academic Senate meeting, faculty questioned the fairness of the recentlyimplemented student services fee.

Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Barrie Wilkes provided a presentation on the $225 fee, which was approved by the board of trustees June 28. All students on the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels were charged prior to the start of the semester.

“We began to hear a couple of years back that the students were in need of some (change),” Wilkes said, explaining students, faculty and staff voiced concerns about counseling, academic advising and assistance services offered

by Central Michigan University.

In June, the fee was estimated to bring in an additional $10 million annually. This money was to be set aside to advance academic advising efforts, career development and placement services, counseling services and several other programs.

Wilkes said money has already been spent on the following: • Staffing the Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity (OCRIE) • Advancing enrollment services • Center for Inclusion and Diversity • The upcoming commencement ceremony for Fall 2018 • Hiring additional police officers for campus security Members of the Senate had concerns for certain demographics affected by the fee, specifically students pursuing a low amount of credit hours, and graduate students.

Sociology faculty member Mary Senter voiced her concern for any non-full-time student subjected to the financial charge, such as undergraduate students taking only three credit hours

to complete their program.

“It seems for some students paying the entire fee when their involvement with the university is minimal at that point in their career, is just very hard to justify,” Senter said.

Debbie Silkwood-Sherer of the School of Rehabilitation and Medical Sciences said the fee completely ignores graduate students already paying up to $80,000 in tuition costs, especially in the physical therapy program.

“This year, we went up by 3 percent in tuition for those students, and for my students specifically, when I add the fee, it (becomes) 6 percent.

They aren’t happy,” Silkwood-Sherer said.

She said many of her students do not require the counseling and academic advising services, which are mainly targeted toward those studying on the undergraduate level. The fee is unreasonable to students who are spending minimal time on campus and even less time seeking out its resources, Silkwood-Sherer said.

Wilkes said excluding people from the fee can quickly become a “slippery slope,” as every individual’s needs are different.

The only people excluded from this fee include: • Active military members • College of Medicine students • Dual enrollment students • Disney College Program participants • Study abroad students paying their overseas institution directly Senter said although the goals of the fee are legitimately good at heart, they could be easily paid for without its existence.

“You said quite correctly that there was only one pot,” Senter said. “I just want to remind everyone we spend well over $1,000 per student to support Division I athletics, and if we weren’t spending (this), we would have in that single pot for everything else.”

Wilkes said in response, “your math is really good.”

American Mitsuba a quiet contributor to Mount Pleasant

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

On their way to campus, many people pass by the 235,000 square foot building located at 2945 Three Leaves Drive every day, and perhaps have wondered what it is.

The building houses the corporate headquarters of American Mitsuba Company (AMC) — an auto parts manufacturer — and its manufacturing lines.

On Aug. 21, American Mitsuba and guests from Mitsuba Japan celebrated 30 years, highlighting the successes of the company over the years while also looking ahead.

Mount Pleasant Mayor Allison Quast-Lents attended the celebration and complimented the company on how pristine the facility is kept.

During its 30-year residence in Mount Pleasant, AMC has quietly volunteered time and money to the city.

“Mitsuba is a quiet corporate citizen of Mount Pleasant,” said Senior Vice President David Stevens. “Not too many people from Central Michigan University, or the city, know the company exists.”

Automobile starter motors and fan motors are the products made and distributed from the Mount Pleasant plants, but Mitsuba as a whole supplies many four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicle parts to major automotive companies like General Motors, Ford and Honda.

Stevens said the “Mitsuba Way” is “providing pleasure and peace of mind to the people of the world by creating technology in harmony with society and the environment.”

“If your car shuts down in a bad part of town, you aren’t going to have peace of mind,” Stevens said. “We strive to build and create the best products.”

Mitsuba started in Kiryu City, Japan in 1946 selling generator lamps for bicycles. In 1988, AMC Mount Pleasant (AMM) became the first subsidiary company and manufacturing plant Mitsuba Corpora-

tion established outside of Japan and is now one of 52 Mitsuba Group global companies.

AMM was also the first anchor business — a major business used to impel smaller and other businesses — to locate in the city of Mount Pleasant and CMU jointly established University Park, now Smartzone. Stevens said the City of Mount Pleasant, CMU and Middle Michigan Development Company were all instrumental in selecting the Mount Pleasant location.

The Mount Pleasant location has had five building expansions since it was constructed in 1988. Stevens said AMM has been the single largest payer of corporate property taxes for many years, and is now looking to expand its size.

In Spring 2019, AMM will build a nearly 6,000 square

AMM has a heavier press that is currently overworked, Manufacturing Manager Jeff Jacques said. The lighter and more efficient press will work in tandem with the

other press to stamp parts for new and former products, making capacity for new business.

As of July 2018, the local facility employs about 384 employees — roughly 250 fulltime manufacturing workers, 30 corporate-level workers and 80 to 100 contract or temporary employees. A new addi-

tion would add 25 to 35 jobs to Mount Pleasant over the next three years, Stevens said.

AMM supports and participates in numerous non-profit community organizations as well. These include Chippewa Watershed Conservancy, Mount Pleasant Area Community Foundation and Special Olympics, among others.

The Mount Pleasant location also prides itself on being a green facility, recycling around 90 percent of excess materials, said Tim Neyer, Environmental Management System Coordinator. The plastic, aluminum, copper and steel materials are put into large receptacles, which are then picked up by Padnos – a recycling and scrap company out of Alma.

The company kept more

than 6.8 million pounds of waste out of landfills in 2017, Neyer said.

Neyer said the company recently revamped its airconditioners and switched to florescent lighting, reducing its energy usage. AMM is looking to LED lighting and solar energy next.

The company is also less hazardous and more cautious than most others, Jacques said.

They are working to paint the floors from beige to green, signifying where people can walk freely, and certain spaces red to warn the space will be shared with fork trucks and carts.

Over the years, AMC given back by being active in the community and contributed millions of dollars to Mount Pleasant. Stevens said they like to see Mount Pleasant expand and grow along with the company.

CLASS Dean Rothaus discusses new job From North Dakota to Minnesota, college leader discusses moving and his new-found ‘love’ of Midwest

By Jeremy Agosta Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Courtesy Photo | Richard Rothaus

Richard Rothaus was hired as dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences early last summer. His first day was Aug. 1.

He arrived here from the North Dakota University system, where he worked as the vice chancellor of academic and student affairs.

His previous positions include teaching history at St. Cloud State University and Oklahoma State University. He also worked as the assistant vice president for research and faculty development at SCSU from 2000-08.

Rothaus sat down with Central Michigan Life to talk about his first three months at Central Michigan University, and what he did before moving to Mount Pleasant.

Where are you from?

Rothaus: That’s a hard question. My dad was in the Air Force so we moved all over.

Most recently, North Dakota.

Before that I was in Minnesota. I ran my own business doing archaeological consulting and worked as faculty in the administration for St. Cloud State University.

How have the first few months of the semester been going?

Spectacular. I’m having fun, which is important in life.

I came to Central Michigan because I thought this was a great university, and nothing has happened in the first few months to do anything but convince me that I made a spectacular choice.

Every day there is something amazing I learn about or that happens that I’m really excited about. About once a week I’m in a meeting saying, “What, we have that? That’s awesome!”

How are you liking Mount Pleasant?

I have grown to love the Midwest.

When I moved to Minnesota to work at SCSU, I was coming out of graduate school and had convinced myself that I really wanted to live on the east or west coast in a big city. But, I have a degree in ancient history. When you have a Ph.D. in ancient history, any job is a good job.

When I arrived at St. Cloud State I said, “Aw man this is the middle of nowhere…

I’m going to hate it here. I need to get out of here.” After about four or five years, my eyes started to open and I thought, “Wait a minute, it’s cool here.”

After that, I wouldn’t go anywhere else than the Midwest.

What is a typical day like at CMU? A lot of meetings. Mondays are my hardest days, we start the first half of the day with staff meetings and inevitably other parts of the day are full. When I wake up I say, “Today is all meetings, don’t expect anything else.”

Other days are mixed. I spend half of any day in meetings or on the phone. I do block out time for other things.

I visit classes and I hope to visit more.

Faculty can invite me to their class and I’ll come. I want to see how people are teaching and how students are learning.

I also go to a lot of evening events.

What is your favorite part of the job?

Getting to facilitate super cool faculty and student research projects or learning activities.

For all the great classroom experiences, study abroads or psychology labs, there’s paperwork that has to be done.

I actually find it – and I know this is weird – quite satisfying to say, “that lab functions really well because I’m in an office making sure all this crap never gets to them.”

What is your least favorite part of the job?

Budget and personal issues. Right now enrollment is going down at CMU...which means the budgets are getting tighter.

We are not able to hire as many people as we need and people are not always able to do what they want to do.

I have already had to say to people, “That sounds absolutely great, and we can’t do it because we don’t have the money.”

Are there any changes that you want to make?

If I didn’t think the college was on really solid footing I wouldn’t have taken the job.

I’m not coming in to turn over the way things have been done. One of the great things about working in a university is 80 percent of our mission is really clear: teach knowledge, create knowledge.

Austin shines in men’s basketball blowout win over Concordia

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

Larry Austin Jr. sat out of an exhibition game against Davenport last week with an injury to avoid being a defensive liability.

He made his return in style.

In the season opener, Austin started the game with a steal and slam dunk giving his team a lead they’d never look back on.

Austin’s early game heroics jump started the Chippewas (1-0) to a 98-67 victory over Concordia (1-3) on Nov. 6 in McGuirk Arena.

“Getting that breakaway and seeing the ball go through the rim all the jitters go away,” Austin said. “Defense gets me started and we won the first four-minute war.”

Head coach Keno Davis said fans are seeing just the beginning of Austin’s talents.

“There’s not a ceiling of how good he can be,” Davis said. “He’s a kid who hasn’t had a chance to play. Now he’s getting a chance to not just play with our team but be a leader for us.”

Ben Suddendorf | Staff Photographer Senior guard Larry Austin Jr. goes up for a dunk on Nov. 6 at McGuirk Arena.

GAME SUMMARY CMU started the game on a 6-0 run forcing a Cardinal timeout. The Chippewas would extend the run to 14-0 before Concordia found its first bucket.

Concordia would slow the game down, trimming the Chippewas lead to 24-14 with 7:48 left in the first half.

CMU didn’t let that last long.

Senior guard Shawn Roundtree hit a fast break layup followed by a

FALL IN LOVE

3-pointer off a Cardinal turnover from junior forward David DiLeo to cap off a 14-4 run. CMU lead 38-19 with 4:12 left in the half.

Following a 41-25 lead at halftime, the Chippewas continued to show full court pressure creating more turnovers leading to points. CMU led 53-29 at the 15:57 mark and were on cruise control until the final horn.

“I think you can expect to see more (full court pressure) as the season goes along it just depends on the matchup,” Davis said. “The more our 6-11 players continue to develop the more you will see that pressure.”

The Chippewas held Concordia to 43.8 percent shooting from the floor and 13.6 percent (3-of-22) from 3-point distance. They also forced 20 turnovers on the Cardinals.

While Austin’s eight points in the first five minutes were essential, junior guard Kevin McKay led the Chippewas with a game-high 23 points and three steals. Austin finished with 17 points and Roundtree added 18 of his own.

“I like to think I’m an energy guy that feeds off of defense,” McKay said.

WHERE YOU LIVE

“I attacked the basket and I just try to score whatever way I can score be it steals, rebounds or any other way.”

Overall, CMU finished 54.7 percent from the field and 31.6 percent (6-of-19) from deep. The Chippewas added 23 bench points led by transfer guard Dallas Morgan who had six points in 19 minutes.

The Chippewas will continue the Junkanoo Jam against Chicago State at 7 p.m. on Nov. 9 in McGuirk Arena.

Game notes • Kevin Hamlet, a 6-foot-7 transfer from Mineral Area College, was not dressed and did not play. Davis said he rolled his ankle at practice and will get an updated report later this week.

• CMU had four goal-tending calls.

• Transfer guard Rob Montgomery started and played 27 minutes to lead the Chippewas inside game. Fellow transfer guard Romelo Burell totaled 16 minutes and redshirt sophomore Innocent Nwoko tallied 10 minutes.

• Morgan dominated the backup guard minutes with 19 and junior guard Matty Smith added five minutes.

Soccer coach McGahey fired; season ends with 7-12 record

By Jacob Harrison Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

A season that started with optimism in the final year of Lexi Pelafas — the all-time leading goal scoring forward — ended with head coach Peter McGahey being sacked.

He will no longer be the coach of Central Michigan soccer. CMU athletics made the announcement Friday.

“I have done an extensive review of our program over the past week and determined it was necessary to make a change with our soccer leadership,” Athletic Director Michael Alford said in a statement. “We will soon begin a national search to identify a head coach who will put our student-athletes in a position to compete for championships.”

The Chippewa’s finished with an overall record of 7-12 and went 5-6 in conference play.

They missed their shot at qualifying for the MAC Tournament in the final game of the season.

PELAFAS ALL MAC Lexi Pelafas led the Chippewa’s offense all season long and was awarded by being named to the All-MAC Second Team.

Pelafas’ nine goals on the season were good for third in the MAC. Her 42 goals and 94 points over her career place her as the all-time leader in both categories at CMU. Pelafas had previously made All-MAC first teams in 2017 and 2016, and was selected to the MAC AllFreshman squad in 2015.

CMU’s most notable win of the season came when they traveled to Kalamazoo and beat archival Western Michigan 3-2. The Broncos

Freshman forward Abbi Morrell catches her breath after making a run on Oct. 21 at the Soccer Complex.

It was necessary to make a change with our soccer leadership.”

-Michael Alford, Athletic Director were 10-4 at the time, and were a legitimate contender near the top of the MAC. The back and forth match was a physical one, resulting in five yellow cards.

Goals from Pelafas and Natalie Belisto highlighted of the first half for CMU. Western Michigan drew even with the Chippewas in the 73rd minute, but Chesney Wargo scored her first collegiate goal a minute later to seal the Chippewas’ victory.

SENIOR SALUT E The CMU careers of Mary Carlson, Madison Costner, Shannon Magnan, and Pelafas all came to a conclusion at the end of the season.

Costner and Magnan trailed only Pelafas in points scored for the team with 14 and 12 respectively.

Carlson was the only senior defender on the team and was a steady force on the defensive end.

Carlson, Magnan, and Costner were selected to Academic All-MAC teams in 2015 and 2016. Carlson also named to the MAC AllFreshman team in 2015.

GOALIE SITUATION Senior Zoie Reed was expected to start in goal for the Chippewas, but suffered an injury that kept her out for the entire season.

Reed was redshirted and is expected to be back for the 2019 season — her sixth year at CMU. Briana Wallbridge and Morgan Britain shared

starting goaltender responsibilities throughout the season. Wallbridge was credited with a 3-4 record

and a 1.23 goals against average, while Britain posted a 4-8 record with a 2.07 goals against average.

TOURNAMENT WOES The Chippewas’ MAC Tournament fate came down to the last game of the season. They lost a close game at Eastern Michigan in overtime.

CMU trailed 2-0 in the second half but made a valiant comeback effort to tie the game before the final whistle.

Pelafas was called for a controversial red card in overtime, and the Eagles capitalized on the player advantage to score the goal that ended the CMU season.

After missing the MAC Tournament for a second straight year, McGahey’s contract wasn’t renewed. He had an overall record of 5055-12 during his six years of coaching at CMU. McGahey’s best season was in 2016 when the Chippewa’s finished 15-3-3 overall and 6-2-3 in the MAC. It was his only winning season.

Freshman guard ‘humbles’ himself to learn in first season

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

Making an impact for the Central Michigan men’s basketball program has been something PJ Mitchell has dreamed about since 10th grade.

His first visit to CMU’s campus was in 2016. He felt like he was already a part of the family. Mitchell committed to the Chippewas as just a sophomore at Detroit Edson High School.

Mitchell won two district titles and two regional championships while being selected to the Detroit News All-State First Team in 201516 and 2016-17. He nearly averaged a double-double as a senior with 16.7 points and 7.3 assists per game.

“I had my best year as a senior and was ready to take it to the next level,”

Mitchell said.

Now, Mitchell had to learn how to embrace a role that he isn’t used to.

Senior guard Shawn Roundtree and transfer guard Larry Austin Jr. are expected to start as a two point guard set. Junior guard Matty Smith and transfer Dallas Morgan are next in line to back up the starters. Mitchell realized he might not be very high on the depth chart.

Mitchell’s finding ways to learn from the veterans in front of him and adopt a backup roll.

“I have to humble myself and realize I need to learn because things change at this level,” Mitchell said. “But when my time is called, I’ll be ready to step up to the stage.”

Regardless of the drill in practice, Mitchell wants to finish first. While it might not be game action, he wants to win those battles.

Evan Petzold | Staff Reporter Freshman guard PJ Mitchell works out at practice on Oct. 24 at McGuirk Arena’s practice court.

Roundtree is a transfer from multiple schools and

didn’t get the chance to start at the Division I level until

last season. He knows what it is like to wait and get your

turn to play — similar to what Mitchell is now experiencing.

“PJ has extraordinary skill man,” Roundtree said.

“Sometimes there are some upperclassmen who will get the best of you but you just have to battle back. He’s been resilient so far.”

Head coach Keno Davis agreed with Roundtree.

Mitchell’s had the ability to get to the basket and shoot the ball since an early age.

“He’s getting the chance to learn behind two fifth year seniors which may not seem like the best experience but might be the best thing for him,” Davis said. “We know what he can be in four years, right now he’s getting the chance to play against that.”

Mitchell’s never been a backup to anyone, but taking on a new challenge is something he’s ready for.

“Next year is going to be my year,” Mitchell said.
