On-campus food pantry scheduled to open this November By Hunter McLaren Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

A food pantry run by and for students will be ready to distribute food sometime in November, said Shawna Ross, director of the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center. “We’re proud to be affiliated with the food pantry,” Ross said. “It’s meeting a need that has not been met.” The Student Government Association passed a resolution supporting the pantry during a meeting on Feb. 5. Port Huron senior Chase Delor, SGA treasurer and Facilities Management employee, helped put the two groups in touch. Delor said Facilities Management started discussing food insecurity among students around the same time the SGA was discussing the possibility of a food pantry. “It’s been coming to people’s attention that food insecurity is a real issue to many college students,” Delor said. “It ends up affecting a lot more students than people realize.” The food pantry will distribute food twice a month and all currently

enrolled students are eligible to receive food. It will be located in a previously unused space in North Campus near the Robinson Testing

Center, which is on the lower level of the building beneath the Robinson Residential Restaurant. It will be run by Dexter graduate student

Kourtney Koch. “We’re still in the developing stages, so we don’t have a lot of concrete dates yet,” Koch said. “We’re aiming for the fall.” The food pantry is open to all currently enrolled students at CMU. There are no other requirements to utilize the food pantry. Students who would like to pick up food on distribution nights will need to register on the food pantry’s OrgSync page to give an idea of how much food will be needed for that day. The volunteer center has hired senior Brendan Mantey as a student coordinator to manage student volunteers who will distribute and organize food, Koch said. Delor said he attended several meetings over the summer about the food pantry with representatives from the Office of Student Affairs, Facilities Management, and the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center. The food pantry is collaborating with the Community Compassion Network (CCN), which is a food pantry that helps those living in the

Isabella County area. The CCN is also open to CMU students, and will continue to be after the CMU food pantry opens. Food will be provided by the Greater Lansing Food Bank located at 2116 Mint Road in Lansing. The cost associated with renovating and running the food pantry has been covered by donors and fundraisers. “From everyone I’ve talked to, no one is really worried about the money going away,” Delor said. “People seem very willing to invest in the food pantry.” Only students will be able to volunteer at first, Ross said. Eventually, the goal is to also allow for interested faculty and staff to volunteer as well. Koch said her favorite part about creating the food pantry was how many different departments on campus worked together to make it happen. She said she’s pleased with the student spirit of volunteering at CMU. “It all happened because students were passionate about food insecurity, and they turned that passion into action,” she said.

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe’s program shows support, compassion for sexual assault survivors

L

ast week, we published several stories about sexual assault. One of those stories highlighted a program that was created to help survivors as they seek treatment at local hospitals. The Victims of Crime Program, created by the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, is a valuable, thoughtful service provided to survivors. It has provided funding to McLaren Central Michigan Hospital to help make sure its Sexual Assault Nurse Examination (SANE) service is there when survivors need them. SANE is the examination someone has to get done after being sexually assaulted. Because of the lack of services in the Mount Pleasant area forced police to drive to other nearby hospitals to be treated, the tribe stepped up to improve the resources survivors have here. While the funding for SANE services is a major component of the program sponsored by the tribe, it also provides other aid to survivors: • Crisis counseling • Individual counseling • Emotional support • Safety planning • Possible emergency financial assistance • Criminal justice support/advocacy in State, Tribal and Federal Court

EDITORIAL • Assistance in filing for personal protection orders • Assistance in filing for restitution • Assistance in filing for victim compensation • Claims with the State of Michigan referrals for community resources; food, clothing banks and emergency shelter • Updates on criminal case information • Case management This ongoing list of resources and services shows that comforting and helping sexual assault survivors are priorities in our community. It also exemplifies the commitment the members of the Chippewa tribe have shown to helping people in crisis and supporting the medical and law enforcement communities. After a survivor completes the process for assembling evidence for a rape-kit, all of his or her clothes have to be taken for evidence. The program provides a way for them to leave more comfortably and with dignity - not being forced to wear a hospital gown home. Packages are given to survivors that include sweatpants, shirts, underwear,

toiletries and other necessities. When we talked to Rachel Wilson, a graduate student at Central Michigan University and survivor, she told us how much this package meant to her. “I think without this care package, I would have either been wearing a gown home or clothes (from) the lost and found,” Wilson told Central Michigan Life. “I felt really touched that someone cared.” We want to thank the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe and all that they are doing to support sexual assault survivors. We also would like to say thank you to the following agencies on the task force that helped restore the SANE services in Mount Pleasant including McLaren Central Michigan, CMU Police Department, Mount Pleasant Police Department, Isabella County Sheriff’s Office, Sexual Assault Peer Advocates, Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity, Women’s Aid Services, Isabella County Prosecutor’s Office Victims Advocate. This effort to constantly improve these services shows survivors they have resources, options and people in the community who are willing to help them. We appreciate the work you’re doing to make this community a better place.

Members of Designated Divers RSO prepare during autum and winter for its annual spring break trip By Ian Wellhousen Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

O

Quinn Kirby | Features Editor 2017 Central Michigan graduate Ulysses Johnson poses for a portrait Oct. 13 near Bellows Street. He founded Designated Divers three years ago and continues to dive with the Registered Student Organization.

n a gusty fall afternoon, in the village of Bear Lake, Mich., five Central Michigan University students prepared for an underwater adventure. The group, members of the Registered Student Organization Designated Divers, were practicing scuba techniques for their upcoming spring break trip to the island of Bonaire, in the Caribbean Ocean. Designated Divers President Travis Smith said the annual trip means everything because it’s the only opportunity during the school year for the group to get quality scuba time together in a scubafriendly environment. “Since we’re in Michigan, it’s difficult to get actual scuba time in because of the weather,” Smith said. “We try to get as many dives during the fall and spring semesters as we can before our spring break trip.” The group will brave any conditions to do so. The day of their Bear Lake dive, the temperature read 55 degrees, but the scuba divers insisted they stayed warm with the aid of their wetsuits. Designated Divers will dive in temperatures much warmer in Bonaire, where the average March temperature is 87 degrees. Faculty Adviser Jerry DiMaria said it’s a night and day difference between diving in Michigan and diving in ocean waters. “You are much freer in warmer waters to adventure as you do not need as much gear on and you can clearly see in front you, whereas in Michigan the waters can be cold and murky,” DiMaria said. This is Designated Divers’ third year as a student organization. The group was founded by former president and 2017 Central Michigan University graduate Ulysses Johnson. Last fall, Traverse City senior Travis Smith took over as President, while Mount Pleasant junior Kathryn DiMaria took over Vice President. The DiMarias became involved with scuba diving about five years ago. Jerry became enamored with the sport after his first dive, but he needed someone to share this passion with him. His daughter, Kathryn, tried the sport and found a passion for it, as well. “I was slightly scared at first, but once I started seeing all the fish and underwater animals -- just the underwater world in general — I fell in love,” Kathryn said. Designated Divers continues to grow, with 30 members this year. The organization is still trying to recruit members, and set a table at MainStage

WHAT IS SCUBA DIVING? SCUBA is an abbreviation for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. It is the equipment that allows divers to breathe underwater The air that is in the tanks is compressed air. It is part nitrogen, oxygen and other gases. Because of the nitrogen in the compressed air, divers need to be careful. When diving to greater depths, nitrogen narcosis can occur. It gives divers the same effect as drinking too much alcohol. Avoiding nitrogen narcosis can be solved by swimming to shallower waters. for the first time this year. Smith said there was plenty of interest at MainStage, but once people found out how much it cost to get certified and the cost of scuba gear gear, it usually turned them off. “Scuba is definitely a financial investment,” Smith said, “but once you get certified and have your own gear you always have a fun activity you can do for the rest of your life.” Designated Divers members who can’t afford to purchase their own equipment aren’t out of luck. Underwater Antics, a scuba store located off M-20 in Midland, will allow certified divers to rent their equipment. Co-owners Tim Middleton and Cheryl Roggenbuck have been doing business with Designated Divers for the past two years. Novice scuba divers don’t need to worry about feeling out of place, as more than half of Designated Divers’ members have less than two years of scuba experience. At their Thursday night meetings, the group goes over scuba advice, safety reminders and tips on how to stay mindful during dives. Members of Designated Divers each have their own purpose for being involved with scuba diving. For many, it’s to have the opportunity to explore a world humans aren’t familiar with. Others, like Marquette junior Cera Shelafoe, want to educate themselves. “I’m going to school for marine biology, so it’s important to be able to go underwater,” Shelafoe said. “I’m hoping to gain more skills and experience with the Designated Divers so I can make myself stand out when applying to marine biology programs.” While Designated Divers may not be able to dive during winter, the bonds between members keep everyone connected as the group prepares for sunshine in the Caribbean. “The best part about this group is the community,” Kathryn said. “We all may share a common interest, but Designated Divers is just full of really good people.”

I believe that leaders are created by the values they hold and the character they consistently exhibit by the day-to-day acts they perform, or equally as important, don’t perform. Effective communication isn’t just knowing what to say and how to say it, effective communication also requires the ability to listen to what others are saying, as well as what they are not. This skill is important to being a leader, as leaders need to be able to effectively communicate their goals, as well as a clear plan to achieve those goals and garner support for their vision. Furthermore, I am a lifelong resident of our community. I attended Central Michigan University, and upon graduating from law school in San Diego, returned home to raise my family.

On Nov. 6, voters can choose between Democrat Larry King and Republican David Barberi for the position of Isabella County Prosecuting Attorney. 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 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. He has also served on Mount Pleasant Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and as President of the Isabella County Bar Association. King, is a 2008 graduate from Wayne State University, and graduated Cum Laude from Ohio Northern University Law School in 2014. While in law school, King worked in the Wexford and Grand Traverse county prosecutors’ offices, and has served as an assistant prosecutor in Isabella County since 2014. In Michigan, the county prosecuting attorney is tasked with representing the government in court. The office is independent of the state attorney general. A prosecutor is the chief law enforcement official in Isabella County. Central Michigan Life had the opportunity to ask both candidates a few questions about their goals for the position. What do you think separates you from the other candidate? Barberi: My experience as a defense attorney gives me a unique perspective.

I believe we need to devote all necessary time and resources into the prosecution of these type of cases.This includes updating the skill-set of our prosecutors in this area. There are statewide trainings offered by the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan Violence Against Women Project and other agencies aimed at providing prosecutors with the skills they need to effectively prosecute these difficult cases. I want to see members of the prosecutors office regularly attending these trainings so that we can be more effective in dealing with these critical cases.

I have formal business management training. I hold a Master of Business Administration degree, and previously worked for a large technology company as a manager where I managed both people and projects. As an attorney, what is your approach to dealing with cases of sexual assault? Barberi: Sexual assault is one of the most serious crimes in our society. As such, as an attorney, I approach cases of this nature with careful consideration, diligent preparation, and the utmost attention to every detail. I would take this same level of professionalism and work ethic into the prosecutor’s office. King: Sexual assault cases must be taken seriously. It takes an immense amount of bravery for a survivor of sexual assault to come forward and tell their story; when they do we owe it to them to make sure these cases are handled properly. Survivors must be heard, and respected. Their allegations must be investigated fully and taken seriously by law enforcement at all levels up to and including prosecutors. As a prosecutor it is important that our office works closely with police to assure we can effectively prosecute these cases when they are reported. Crimes of sexual assault can be exceedingly difficult to prosecute, and they

Retired professor Featheringham inducted into CBA Hall of Fame CM-LIFE.COM

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

Richard Featheringham dedicated decades of his life to teaching business communication and writing at Central Michigan University. Now, his impact is being recognized with one of the university’s highest honors: induction into the College of Business Administration Hall of Fame. Featheringham taught at CMU from 1971 to 2007. He was a faculty member in the Department of Business Information Systems and faculty adviser for business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi. The CBA professor is revered for more than just his teachings on the art of business writing. Featheringham’s former students and colleagues treasure his commitment to students’ long-term success, devotion to ethics and humble sense of humor. “He’s taught over 50 years in higher education, but he never lost that zest for teaching,” said Nancy Hicks, business information systems faculty member, who nominated Featheringham for the award. His official induction was celebrated at the 2018 Hall of Fame ceremony, which took place on Oct. 5 in the Grawn Hall Atrium. Hicks, who was a student of Featheringham’s in her days at CMU, became both his “colleague and good friend” when she became

awards to recognize his talent for teaching. During his time at CMU, he received the Excellence in Teaching Award, the Dean’s Outstanding Teaching Award and the CBA Ameritech Excellence in Teaching Award, according to the Hall of Fame website. While he taught at Kent State University prior to his time at CMU, Featheringham received the Outstanding Faculty Member Award, Alumni Distinguished Teacher of the Year Award and the Outstanding Teacher in the College of Business Administration Award. Featheringham was a mentor. He spent years building relationships with his students — and those relationships last a lifetime. “He’s known me 44 years,” said Kirk Love, 1977 CBA alumnus, who now works as a financial adviser in Troy. “What he imparted on me the most was a yearning for learning. A lifelong approach toward learning that continues after the classroom.” Leading up to his retirement from CMU in January 2007, Featheringham continued to receive high praise from his students. Even in his final semester of teaching, he was given a perfect four-out-of-four score in his Student Opinion Surveys, according to CBA Interim Dean Karl Smart. “Featheringham is a spectacular teacher who really cares about those who he teaches,” Smart said. “It’d be hard for us to find anyone more invested in student success than him.” The CBA professor used real-world experience to help his students learn and found unique ways to engage them through writing assignments, Smart said. One of the top criterion for nomination into the Hall of Fame is “displaying the highest level of ethics in the business dealings.”

Featheringham imparted his dedication to ethics on decades’ worth of students. “His philosophy was always that he was there to help, but it was always your work, and it should be your work alone,” Love said. In the 1980s, while devoting time to his students as a CBA faculty member, he also spent time as a student himself. He obtained both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in music from CMU. As a man of many trades, some of Featheringham’s unique talents relate to his hands. Not only is he a skillful organist, but also an incredibly fast typist. He spent years working as a demonstrator for the Royal Typewriter company, as he exhibited his ability to type at an astonishing 203 words per minute. “He had to use a manual typewriter instead of an electric, because (the electric) wouldn’t return fast enough,” Love recalled. Featheringham has not only made a strong impact on students in Mount Pleasant, but across the continent as well. For years, he traveled North America and taught summer sessions at universities such as the University of Alaska and the University of New Brunswick in Canada. He recalls his summer trips across the country with his family as some of his fondest memories. The retired professor now resides in Mount Pleasant with his wife, Audrey. With all of his undeniable skills, he remains a humble man. “I didn’t expect this at all,” Featheringham said about his induction. “I was really reluctant to say yes. This kind of stuff isn’t ‘me.’ I don’t really like attention, and I’m not too upfront — other than when I teach.” He attributed his excellence in teaching to one simple explanation: “I liked my students.”

Ball State beats 24-23 Chippewas with game-winning field goal By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

On Ball State’s final possession of the game, kicker Morgan Hagee stepped up and delivered a game-winning 36-yard field goal to take a 24-23 lead. The Chippewas (1-6, 0-3) Mid-American Conference were unable to make a comeback, and head coach John Bonamego’s team took a 24-23 loss despite being in dire need of a win in the Mid-American Conference. Before the game-winning field goal, CMU junior kicker Ryan Tice hit a 47-yard field goal to take the lead after Ball State quarterback Riley Neal reached the end zone to give Ball State a 21-20 lead over CMU with eight minutes remaining. “We didn’t finish the way we started,” Bonamego said. “We just came up short. It’s tough right now, but we have another game next week.” Only taking down FCS Maine on Sept. 22, Central Michigan’s drought of losses to Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) has increased to 323 days – dating back to a Nov. 24 victory against Northern Illinois in the final regular season game of the 2017 campaign. The Cardinals (3-4, 2-1 MAC) were ahead 7-6 at one point in the game, but a connection from CMU quarterback Tommy Lazzaro to backup

quarterback Tony Pojan changed the momentum and score. Down by one-point near the end of the first half, Lazzaro noticed receiver Tony Poljan on a fade route near the left side of the end zone. Poljan turned, secured the ball and kept his feet in-bounds for a 13-7 edge. On the first play of Ball State’s ensuing drive, CMU defensive end Mitch Stanitzek stripped the ball clean and it was recovered by Mike Danna at the 20-yard line. Moments later, Lazzaro scored up the middle for a 20-7 lead at halftime.

CMU had not converted a 50-yard field goal since David Harman did so in 2012. At least not until Ryan Tice connected on one from 53 yards out to give the Chippewas a 3-0 lead with 7:59 remaining in the first quarter. On the second to last play of the first quarter, Lazzaro found a hole provided by the offensive line and scampered for 31 yards to the Ball State 14. Despite finding the red zone, CMU was forced to go with Tice. The junior buried a 26-yard field goal on the third play of the second quarter for a 6-0 edge.

Tice has made 8-of-9 field goals this season and is 5-of-6 from 40-49 yards and 1-for-1 from 50 or more yards. “He’s been a great addition to our team,” Bonamego said of Tice, who transferred to CMU just before its first game against Kentucky. On fourth-and-goal from the CMU 1-yard line, Neal plunged up the middle and broke the plane of the end zone for a touchdown, giving Ball State a 7-6 edge with 8:33 to go in the first half. A missed field goal by Ball State kicker Morgan Hagee with 8:27 left in the third quarter gave the ball back to the Chippewas, but Neal compensated life to his team to start the fourth with a 6-yard touchdown pass to receiver Riley Miller. Neal finished 19-of-26 through the air for 183 yards and one touchdown. He had two touchdowns on 55 yards rushing. For CMU, Lazzaro was 11-of-22 for 127 yards and one touchdown, adding 25 carries for 110 yards and a score. The score from Neal to Miller cut CMU’s lead to six points, and the Cardinals continued to roll at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, ending the game with a 37-yard field goal by Hagee. The Chippewas remain winless in the MAC and will face Western Michigan at 3 p.m. on Oct. 20 from Kelly/Shorts Stadium. “The team is playing better,” Bonamego said. “We are just too inconsistent right now. They are a lot closer than people might give us credit for. We are a better team than our record reflects.”

Vanderbilt transfer brings past experience to men’s basketball By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Larry Austin Jr. did not plan to end his career with Central Michigan men’s basketball. The class of 2014 guard was a three-star prospect in high school, according to the 247Sports Composite. He was ranked No. 7 overall in the Illinois with offers from Providence, Tennessee, Bradley, DePaul and Xavier. Austin committed to Tennessee in high school, then pulled out after the head coach left. He ended up at Xavier. “I felt the pressure of everyone picking schools to commit to at the time, so I went with what I felt was the best from what I saw (at Xavier),” Austin said. From 2014-16, Austin was a role player. He averaged about a point per game. Because of a lack of playing time, he started to seek other schools. Austin is from the same hometown as former CMU assistant coach Kevin Gamble — Springfield, Illinois. “The first time I wasn’t as active with (CMU), I felt there was a really good opportunity for me at Vandy,” Austin said. Following a redshirt season in 2016-17,

Evan Petzold | Staff Reporter Larry Austin Jr. poses for a portrait after practice on Oct. 11 in McGuirk Arena.

Austin saw action in 23 games in the next season. He averaged 11 minutes per game while averaging 2.5 points, one assist and 1.4 rebounds per game. The 6-foot-2, 182-pounder earned his undergraduate degree and decided to move schools once again. Austin didn’t waste any time to accept CMU’s offer.

“I didn’t think I would end up here when I committed to Vandy but it was just something that popped up and I’m glad it did,” Austin said. During his time with Xavier, Austin’s team was ranked No. 2 in the nation. In 2015, he was apart of a team who reached the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. The following season they made it to the Round of 32. At Vanderbilt, the trips to March Madness continued. Austin’s seen college basketball at the highest level. That’s what he wants to bring to CMU. “I learned a lot from the guys at Vanderbilt and Xavier, guys who led on and off the court,” Austin said. “I learned what was expected in big games like the NCAA Tournament.” Head coach Keno Davis couldn’t pass up on Austin’s experience. “He’s a competitor each and every day,” Davis said. “He doesn’t just go to practice, he wants to win practice. He realizes this is his last opportunity to go out there and believes this team can be something special.” With the addition of Austin, CMU’s offense will go back to a two-point-guard set. Davis is known for running an up-tempo brand of offense that relies heavily on the 3-point shot. Players who can handle the ball

are key to that system. “Two is better than one when it comes to having leaders on the court and I think we’ve proved this can work,” Davis said. Senior guard Shawn Roundtree is a native of Edwardsville, IL which is only an hour from Springfield. Austin and Roundtree played against each other a lot but never formally met. When they did over this past summer, things instantly clicked. “We’re both on the same page on and off the floor which helps with our chemistry,” Roundtree said. “There still is a way to go with learning each others tendencies on the floor, but it’s coming along well.” Austin said he talks with Roundtree every day because they know this team will run through them. Game planning and finding ways to win are apart of what Austin wants to bring to the Chippewas for 2018-19. His journey has been full of unpredictable turns but now in his final season with CMU, he knows where is college career will end. Now, it’s about what he can accomplish with a final chance. “If we win games everything will fall into place for everyone, not just myself,” Austin said. “I’m focused on right now and I’m ready to help make a difference for this team.”
