Geology professor discusses meteorite discovery

By Nicole Lenz Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Following the publication of her meteorite discovery, Earth and atmospheric sciences faculty member Mona Sirbescu is still reeling from the impact the story created.

News outlets and strangers who believe they have a meteorite on their hands bombard her work email nearly every day. Luckily, she had enough time to sit with Central Michigan Life and catch up on the aftermath.

What drew you to geology?

I was born and raised in a small village in Romania, and this is an area where I was surrounded by nature. They took us on a field trip to see gold mines, copper and museums in Romania which is a beautiful country with a lot of geology.

My two older brothers knew a little more about Earth science, and this prompted me to look around and study fossils, rocks and coal.

When it was time for me to select something, I was between archaeology and geology. In the end, geology won.

Do you consider yourself a meteorite expert?

By no means am I a meteorite expert. I’m an expert on terrestrial rocks. Therefore, when people bring to me their weird specimens, I take a look, and then I use all my experience with Earth materials to figure out whether it’s something that I recognize or something out of this planet.

Did you immediately notice something different about this specimen?

In this case, my gut feeling told me within seconds that it was something different. At first, I felt it was really something unusual, but my scientific experience basically put me on the path of methodical tests. I needed to take every test possible, so I would not make a mistake. In other words, I almost instantly said, ‘No, this cannot be. This is just a hypothesis.’

In this case, what was very unusual was the fact that it was covered in these weathering patterns that reminded me of Widmanstätten patterns. These patterns are very unique to iron and nickel meteorites. It can only form through a very slow cooling process. This meteorite was weathered on the surface, and the pattern was showing beneath.

What was your response to all the attention from the meteorite story?

First of all, this was meant to be an internal story, but it came with excellent headlines. It was sensationalized, and soon picked up by CNN. If it was worth CNN picking up, then the rest of the media outlets came.

What does this story mean to you?

This is a story of hope.

It brings good feelings to people. It’s a story of an interesting scientific discovery.

Although meteorites are discovered actually quite often on earth, they are very different from rocks.

Nicole Lenz | Staff Reporter

Geology faculty member Mona Sirbescu with the “door-stop” she confirmed was a meteorite.

What’s happening to the meteorite now?

We need to classify it correctly. It’s a tedious procedure. We need to figure out its chemical composition to identify which asteroid it possibly came from. It’s not just about the major elements composition that defines the price, but also the trace elements in this meteorite.

This final classification, along with the location and the proposed name.

The Meteorite Nomenclature committee will take the data into account, then give their approval. Then the meteorite gets its name and established classification and becomes permanent on records in the database. It’s a process. That’s how science works.

Is there a process for naming a meteorite?

The name isn’t established yet. The Meteorite Nomenclature committee requires a process for naming a new discovery (meteor).

First, it wouldn’t be defined as a ‘fall’ because we do not have concrete evidence that someone witnessed it fall. We only have the word of mouth, which was passed from a couple of generations. For now, it’s just a ‘find,’ not a fall.

How long will you have the meteorite?

The owner is trying to sell it, so perhaps when it’s sold.

We have a small weathered piece of the meteorite for ourselves to study and test, but for now we also have the whole thing until the owner wants it back.

LIFE IN BRIEF

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

POLICE REPORT ‘THE LIGHTEST WESTERN WEEKEND WE’VE SEEN’ IN DECADES Although Western Weekend is the most anticipated weekend of the year, this year police say it wasn’t very chaotic.

“I can say safety that in the entire time I’ve been at this university, this was probably the lightest Western Weekend we’ve seen,” said Lt. Cameron Wassman, public information officer for the CMUPD, who has worked at CMU for 18 years.

The police department recorded a total of eight violations — four citations and four arrests — associated with the football game between the Central Michigan Chippewas and Western Michigan Broncos on Oct. 20. The violations included: • Two citations for violation of controlled substances • One arrest for drunk driving • One citation for minor-in-possession, and one arrest • One citation for disorderly conduct • One arrest for disorderly conduct • One arrest for resisting/obstructing police

This is a dramatic decrease from previous years where the annual game was played at Kelly/Shorts Stadium: 30 violations were recorded in 2012, 28 in 2014 and 37 in 2016.

Wassman said he would like to believe the decrease in criminal activity might be due to students behaving more responsibly and following the rules more than previous years, though he admits the weather plays a part in the decrease.

The less active Western Weekend continues a pattern of decreased student activity this year, following another historic downturn in student turnout during Welcome Weekend.

Wassman expects to see a similar situation during the upcoming Halloween festivities, as the holiday falls on a Wednesday this year instead of a weekend.

Our choice for governor and for the future of Michigan: Gretchen Whitmer

GRETCHEN WHITMER

Michigan has a big decision to make in the Nov. 6 general election.

Two strong, but very different, candidates are contending to be Michigan’s next governor — Gretchen Whitmer and Bill Schuette. Both candidates have vast political experience and strong support from their parties.

With the election only now just days away, there is a constant onslaught of political ads, rallies and media coverage telling you who you should vote for.

That decision can feel overwhelming, especially for young people and college students who might be voting for the very first time.

Media coverage and campaign endorsements tend to focus on issues like senior citizen health care and tax cuts, which don’t resonate with young people. We care about reducing college debt, having clean drinking water, equal pay and protecting reproductive rights.

In America, there is a long tradition of newspapers endorsing political candidates.

Central Michigan Life wants you to vote, first and foremost. Please use this gubernatorial endorsement as a part of your research before you cast your ballot.

As we discussed our endorsement, our guiding principle was this: We want a governor who pays attention to us and the issues we care about.

That is why we endorse Gretchen Whitmer as the candidate who best represents the interests of young Michiganders.

INFRASTUCTURE “Fix the damn roads!”

Anyone who is familiar with Whitmer’s campaign has heard this phrase. As a born-andraised Michigander, Whitmer shares the same everyday frustration that we do about the poor quality of state roads. Improving Michigan’s roads and bridges is one of her first priorities.

In fact, her plan “Getting it Done: Rebuild Michigan” details how she wants to “dig less and build smarter,” so that after initial repairs, Michigan roads will hopefully need less reconstruction over time. She has said time and time again that Michigan residents deserve faster and safer commutes.

Whitmer believes investing in infrastructure is a direct investment in improving Michigan’s economy. That includes prioritizing our drinking water. During the Flint Water Crisis, Whitmer spoke out against Gov. Rick Snyder’s administration and the lack of action taken to provide clean water to citizens in need. Her infrastructure plan emphasizes speeding up the

EDITORIAL process of replacing all lead service lines across the state.

Whitmer, unlike her opponent, has also strongly advocated shutting down Line 5.

WOMEN’S RIGHTS Whitmer is an active women’s rights advocate and has made it clear throughout her campaign that women’s rights will be a priority in her role as governor.

Michigan women, on average, earn 74 cents for every dollar Michigan men earn. Whitmer plans to eliminate that gap and turn our state “into a model state for equality.” It’s about time Michigan men and women earned the same pay for the same work.

She has consistently fought for women throughout her political career. The day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Whitmer rallied more than 9,000 people at the Capitol in Lansing to protest “Trump’s attacks against women.”

As Senate Democratic leader, Whitmer fought against Republicans’ regressive women’s health care laws, such as the Abortion Insurance Opt-Out Act. On the state legislature floor, Whitmer even shared her own story of sexual assault to speak up for the women she felt were being violated by this act.

If Whitmer is Michigan’s governor, sexual assault survivors will be given a voice.

Whitmer served as Ingham County Prosecutor in 2016, after the former prosecutor resigned. As prosecutor, she established a Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Unit designed to go after abusers and asked the Michigan State Police to investigate the integrity of the county’s evidence room.

Dedicated to defending women’s rights to make their own decisions for their bodies, Whitmer’s plan, “Getting It Done: Protecting Roe v.

Wade in Michigan” details how she will protect and expand reproductive rights. She wants to ensure access to abortion and contraception and fix our inadequate sexual education laws.

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

EDUCATION As Michigan’s next governor, Whitmer plans to reform public education by providing “quality education from cradle to career.” In her education plan, Whitmer details how she will “phase in” quality universal pre-school in Michigan. In addition to tripling the number of state literacy coaches, Whitmer plans to give schools more counselors, social workers, school nurses, school security, nutritious meals and safe transportation.

While that may not directly affect most college students, we will begin to care about those things when we have children in the next several years. If Whitmer is governor, ensuring our children receive attentive quality education will be a priority.

She also plans to create the MI Opportunity

HER OPPONENT Attorney General Bill Schuette is not the type of candidate who appeals to young voters.

He doesn’t seem interested in talking about the issues facing our generation. We need a candidate who is passionate about the changes they want to make, not one who says his plan is 1) Get elected, 2) Figure it out.

Schuette would be the kind of governor who is focused on helping business not families.

He’s interested in providing tax breaks for highincome people, rather than providing student loan debt relief.

Schuette is not what Michigan needs.

Whitmer is.

This decision directly impacts your future.

If you want a voice in electing Michigan’s next governor, go out and vote on Nov. 6.

I will never accept that rape is just ‘boys being boys’ A high school boy holding a girl down, grinding himself against her and trying to take her clothes off.

That boy covering her mouth to muffle her screams while she struggles to get away.

Boys will be boys.

If you have heard this story recently, as used by the Brett Kavanaugh apologists, it apparently is behavior to be expected from young men.

But is it? I didn’t do anything like that when I was younger.

I know I’m not an outlier.

I guess some people were so desperate to have this particular man sit on the Supreme Court that they disregarded sexual assault survivors and trivialized his behavior.

To excuse the behavior of one man, they accused all men of sexual assault tendencies. Because boys will be boys.

It’s dismissive in the worst ways. It – assault, harassment – is just something all boys do? If a girl decides to spend time with a boy, just expect it?

I don’t understand how some people can brush off disgusting and heinous acts by explaining it as just juvenile behavior.

What would they say if their own daughter comes to them shaken and beaten by the trauma of an assault?

What would they tell her?

Boys will be boys.

Elio Stante Columnist

I’ve never felt threatened or hurt by people talking negatively about the male gender. Honestly, we deserve the criticism. We interrupt women, we have failed to address issues of unequal gender pay, white male privilege. We too often dismiss problems that don’t affect us.

What I will not accept is that men are inherently violent towards women.

Sexual assault is not something natural to the male experience. I will not accept the argument that every man has attempted rape in his youth.

Because Christine Blasey Ford came forward with an allegation from 30 years ago, some people – like the President of the United States – are claiming it’s a “dangerous time to be a man.”

They believe that because a man has done terrible things when he was younger and got away with it, he shouldn’t be held accountable now.

We sometimes cringe looking back, but that’s adolescence. We figure ourselves out, and hopefully don’t do the same stupid things.

Rape is not something “most” men do.

These “boys will be boys” apologists don’t want to live in a world where a man can be “brought down” with something he did 30 years ago, despite the trauma and anguish he caused a 15-years-old girl which still haunts her when she’s 50.

To them, the 17-year-old boy has moved on. He’s established himself as a family man and legal scholar. All has been forgiven. His actions were just part of a boy figuring out how to be a man.

This caveman-like thinking about men’s behavior, and responsibility, is why 1-in-6 women are the survivors of an attempted, or completed, sexual assault. It’s the reason we have hundreds of thousands of unprocessed rape kits. It’s the reason almost 70 percent of rapes are never reported.

Why would they come forward when they won’t be believed or taken seriously?

Unfortunately, part of our society has said they won’t take these allegations seriously.

They’ve told America that boys will not be held accountable for their action.

Boys will be boys.

And now, boys can serve as Supreme Court Justices.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Vote your values, democratic principles on election day Nov. 6 TO THE EDITOR I am a teacher. I may have been yours. I used to teach you to value right and wrong, how to make good choices, feel compassion and practice compromise. Our values have always moored us to what is true, just and fair but these values are being tested by an assault on honesty, integrity and compassion, starting at the top and leaching into our national identity.

Sound bites from our new president’s “rallies” are chilling. He mocks women who accuse him of sexual harassment and assault, political opponents and teenagers who speak out against gun violence. He insults foreign leaders, Democratic lawmakers and his own attorney general. He stokes rage against refugees seeking asylum and grins at calls to “lock her up.”

He invents false claims and slo-

gans and repeats them to make them sound true. Very clever to rhyme jobs and mobs. Who is this mob?

Women survivors of sexual assault.

And the jobs? Trump inherited a vastly improving economy from President Obama. Job creation was already on the upswing. Period.

What president mocks women and slanders members of the press?

Did you know the press is called the “Fourth Estate” because of its role as watchdog over the three branches of government: to keep them honest, ethical and focused on the common good?

The beauty of democracy is the diversity of voices. Our nation’s motto, “E. Pluribus Unum” means “Out of many, one.” This President and his Republican colleagues have no interest in concepts of diversity, equality, fairness, common good and advocacy for the least among us.

Can you still sing “Preamble to the Constitution” from Schoolhouse Rock?

“We the People, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the Common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

The Constitution is the blue print to bring this vision to life. The Founding Fathers created a system of taxation to provide essential services with little or no cost to the public, starting with defense, communication and transportation. It wasn’t long before the sons, daughters and grandchildren of the fathers added fire, police, libraries and education.

This President and his party favor

plans to privatize our public-school system and cut away at special education. They want to privatize the post office, public lands, national parks, the V.A. system: starve the federal government so that it will serve none of us. The three prongs of Republican governing principle seek to cut taxes, deregulate and privatize. Under Trump, please add criminalize refugees and extort foreign governments.

Every man, woman and newly minted eighteen-year-old can make a difference. Think about what you want your neighborhood, community, county, state and nation to look like.

Go to the polls and vote your values.

Computer Science faculty member Stinson remembered

By Zoe Newmann Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University’s computer science department is remembering faculty member Michael Stinson by having students and friends sign a poster outside his office.

Stinson, 70, who taught in the department of computer science at CMU for 30 years, died Oct. 15 at his home in Mount Pleasant.

According to his obituary, he received his bachelor’s degree in mathematics in 1971 from CMU. He received his Master of Science in probability and statistics and Master of Arts in mathematics from Michigan State University, and earned his doctoral degree in computer science in 1988 from Louisiana State University.

Computer Science Department Chair Patrick Kinnicutt said he saw Stinson at a faculty meeting last Friday. Kinnicutt said Stinson appeared to be struggling with a cold, but was still his happy self.

Stinson was described by faculty members and students as a loving and funny professor who really cared about his students’ success.

Stinson was the faculty adviser for the Association of Information Technology Professionals.

When the registered student organization first started, he purchased pizza and materials they

needed to be an RSO. “He was a huge motivation to me. He made me feel more welcomed than anyone,” said current president of AITP and Mount Pleasant junior Ken Hall.

Computer science department secretary Julie Bloom said, “Mike will always hold a special place in my heart and memories. He was a very

caring person and had a great rapport not only from his colleagues, but his students as well.”

For the entire 30 years Stinson taught, he was very involved with students. He always helped them out by taking them on field trips and helping them travel to conferences, computer science faculty member Jayaram Murthy said. His office was known around the department for being

a place where students went to hang out, do homework and create.

“He was always the life of the party, he was always cracking jokes and making students smile,” Murthy said. “Students were his life.

He would help them in any way he could, even by contacting people in the field and helping students get jobs.”

Kinnicutt remembers a trip with Stinson to the Southern Illinois University Cybersecurity Day Workshop. They drove down together, and Stinson wanted to stop and see a Civil War battlefield. The two ended up in a random field, but Kinnicutt remembers Stinson making the most of it, laughing and joking around.

Stinson was teaching two classes in the department, CPS 240 and CPS 282. CMU is hiring a fixed-term professor for the spring semester, Bloom said. The Computer Science office has opened its doors as a place for student to grieve, and has been sending students to the Counseling Center on campus.

The poster hanging up outside of Stinson’s office was given to his wife Julie on Saturday, Oct. 20.

Murthy was Stinson’s good friend and neighbor. “I’m going to miss him,” Murthy said.

“I remember the last thing we discussed Friday was our retirement, and where we would go and what we would do. What happened Monday night was not in the plan.”

University recieves new thermal baby manikin technology

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

A baby shower was held on Oct. 22 on the campus of Central Michigan University, marking the birthday of the first thermal baby manikin to be used in the U.S. named Lumi.

Lumi was gingerly introduced to students and faculty who watched as the manikin was dressed in CMU attire, officially welcoming the newest member of the CMU family.

“We thought this would be a great way to involve the students and faculty and also get external connection with costumers that might need to have thermal testing done on a baby,” said Sue Wroblewski, research lab coordinator for the Center for Merchandising and Design Technology.

The manikin will help manufacturers and designers create garments that are thermally comfortable for a real babies to wear, and Wroblewski said it is the first one of its kind to be used in the U.S. The $120,000 manikin made to simulate a 9-month-old was developed by Thermetrics, an international manufacturer that specializes in designing advanced thermal

measurement technology, and the main technology contributor to CMDT. In July, Thermetrics released the first baby manikin, “Ruth” and shipped it off to Melbourne, Australia to be used at RMIT University.

CMDT purchased the manikin from the manufactuer with revenue from paid studies the center has done for clients including Ford Motor Co., Carhartt and Stryker.

The manikin will be used to test the

thermal properties of garments and textiles that will come in contact with a baby, Wroblewski said. This includes baby clothes, diapers, blankets, and bedding as well as external materials like car-seat fabrics, baby carriers and strollers, she said.

“We measure how much power it takes to maintain the body temperature that’s set on the manikin, which converts to an insulation value for clothing,” Wroblewski said.

The “sweating simulation” is a feature of the manikin that can be used to test the breath-ability of clothing and whether or not water vapor can transfer through the material.

Thermetrics is also the creator of CMDT’s first thermal sweating manikin, which was made to resemble a 5-foot-10 inch western male.

This first manikin, named Norm/Norma

by CMDT, was purchased by Maureen MacGillivray, apparel merchandising and design technology professor, and her team about 10 years ago with a collaborative grant.

“It really gives us a unique niche in the market for doing research,” MacGillivray said. “We’re hoping it opens a lot of doors for us and the students.”

Almost 400 votes were cast prior to and at the baby shower to name the manikin.

Lumi took first place by approximately 25 votes. The shower also featured a onesie design competition, a ceremonial delivery and a chocolate birthday cake to celebrate Lumi’s birthday.

“This is a great opportunity to expose our students to something they probably won’t have access to in the industry,” Wroblewski said.

hen his team is successful, Head Football Coach John Bonamego has the contract that could make him the highest paid employee at Central Michigan University.

Much of his compensation depends on his team winning games, however.

Central Michigan Life requested a current list of salaries for the top 50 highest paid employees at CMU. The list includes administrators, faculty and staff members. Each year in January, the Office of Finance and Administrative Services produces a list of every CMU employee’s salary. The list used in this article was updated in this month.

Bonamego has been CMU’s head football coach since 2015, and received a 5-year contract extension in January. His base salary was increased from $350,000 in 2017 to $430,000 in 2018. He also receives $175,000 for media and promotional appearances, which include radio, television and personal appearances, according to his contract. With bonuses, his 2018 compensation is $656,000, making him the highest-paid employee. He also gets bonuses if the football team earns a victory in certain conferences or at bowl games, ranging from $10,000 to $75,000.

Bonomego is the third highest-paid coach in the Mid-American Conference.

Vice President of Health Affairs and Dean of the College of Medicine George Kikano comes after Bonamego, however, because the list goes by base salary, Kikano is ranked at number one. According to an article from CM Life in February 2016, Kikano made $500,000. Today, he makes $650,000.

Men’s basketball coach Keno Davis and women’s basketball coach Sue Guevara are ranked sixth and seventh respectively. Davis was hired in 2012, and his contract was renewed for five more years in 2015. Guevara was hired in 2007; her contract was renewed this spring. Today, Guevara is the women’s basketball program’s winningest coach, with a 206-148 record.

Davis earns a base salary of $319,923, while Guevara earns $290,000. With media and promotional appearances, Davis gets $100,000 for media appearances, according to a 2015 press release from CMU Athletics. Under her old contract, Guevara

received $40,000 for media appearances, and her new contract promises $50,000. She also received a number of benefits for her historic season when the Chippewas made it to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament, which put her total compensation for the 2017-18 season at $405,000.

A majority of people on the list are administrators.

Miller addresses Academic Senate for first time

By Emilly Davis Opinion Editor news@cm-life.com

“How can we be our many selves and keep it real with everyone?” Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer A.T. Miller read from a poem as he introduced himself to Academic Senate.

Miller informed the Senate at its Oct. 23 meeting about what he and his team have done since he took office in early summer. He said Central Michigan University already had some diversity, inclusion and equity initiatives in place, and he is building on those, while collaborating with people around campus to create new initiatives.

At the beginning of the semester, Miller invited each college and several units on campus, such as Student Government Association, to appoint a representative to serve on the new University Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council. The council consists of CMU faculty, staff and students who will review issues on campus, provide feedback, and suggest new initiatives.

Part of Miller’s plan to create a more inclusive climate at CMU includes collecting and sharing data to have an accurate idea of what needs to be done. Miller said he will hire a diversity

data analyst and a communications specialist to gather the data and spread the information around campus.

While Miller has not begun to work on the university’s diversity strategic plan yet, he plans

to pull recommendations from Equity and Inclusion Task Force members by the end of the year to decide what changes and recommendations to implement in the university’s strategic plan.

Miller emphasized he plans on working with people from all over campus, and listening to them, to decide what diversity initiatives need to take place at CMU. “The idea of even having a chief diversity officer, in many ways makes no sense, to call it diversity and then put one person in charge of it.

It is very network-based,” Miller said.

Senator and Saginaw senior Bryan Fettig asked Miller if and how he plans to diversify student groups and registered student organizations on campus.

“A lot of student organizations and clubs tend to be very homogenous in their makeup. How will you get more homogeneous clubs to be more engaged with (other) clubs?” Fettig asked.

Miller said his position is designed to promote inclusion and diversity across campus, so while he has no specific plan to diversify clubs, he plans to diversify all of campus.

THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT President Robert Davies told the Senate many

people have asked if he will continue the Administrative and Presidential Fellows Program.

“The answer is a very strong and affirmative yes,” Davies said. “It is an excellent program for the faculty to engage and test the waters on the administration side, and also gives us a great opportunity to interact with faculty.”

He said he plans to begin the application and nomination process in January.

Until Nov. 7, Davies will be accepting nominations for a new faculty athletic representative.

They will replace Kevin Love, who has decided not to continue in the position.

Davies thanked the Senate for their emails and support of the open letter he wrote for Central Michigan Life about addressing sexual assault at CMU. In the letter, he said he would implement a Presidential Title IX Advisory Board to “provide advice on a range of issues including training, education, support services, prevention programming and resources.”

“We are in the process of selecting the Advisory Sexual Assault and Title IX Advisory Board,” Davies told the Senate. “Over the next three or five days, we will be selecting those individuals.

Our goal is to have this board solidified and up and running within the next 10 days.”

Halloween display recognized at city commission meeting

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

Kriss and Mike Roethlisberger’s “Haunted Yard” has supplied the citizens of Mount Pleasant with scares and frightening sights for 22 years.

At an Oct. 22 Mount Pleasant City Commission meeting, the couple’s service to the community was recognized by commissioners.

Mayor Allison Quast-Lents said the creativity and time surrendered to the display was a testament to the Roethlisbergers’ dedication to the community.

“The Haunted yard on North Lansing Street will always be remembered as a Halloween tradition for families where visitors were transported to the out-of-this-word display, sequel to screams and squeals heard from blocks away,” Quast-Lents said.

The display also raised over $50,000 for local charities.

As the meeting concluded, City Commissioner Tony Kulick recommended that citizens giving out candy to trick-or-treaters leave their porch lights on.

“That way kids know who is participating and don’t fall down steps,” he said.

Additional items discussed at the Oct. 22 meeting included promoted city employees, Mount Pleasant’s Experimental Aircraft Association and approval for a Christmas firework

display.

Newly promoted employees introduced Water System Operators Jason DeFeyter and Tyler Heard and Assistant Public Works Director Jason Moore — three newly promoted city employees — were introduced to the commission.

DeFeyter and Heard are both licensed water system operators with years of experience in drinking-water treatment. Both will be operating a water treatment facility, analyzing water control samples in a laboratory and performing

distribution maintenance, said Jamie Hockemeyer, water treatment plant superintendent.

Director of Public Works John Zang spoke of his new assistant’s experience.

“Moore started working for the city nearly 20 years ago in engineering, working on road design,” Zang said. “When the city experienced flooding in 2017, Moore was one of the most important personnel coordinating the operation center.”

EAA lease renewed with minor changes Founded in the Spring of 1988, Mount

Pleasant’s Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) chapter is a group of aviation enthusiasts, aircraft builders and pilots who get together to share ideas, exchange information and encourage safety.

For the past year, the EAA has operated in a city-owned airport hangar at Mount Pleasant Municipal Airport. In exchange for maintenance, the association is allowed to inhabit the hangar rent-free.

Different amendments were proposed by City Commissioner Lori Gillis and Kulick about the lease. After discussion and some confusion, an amendment to renew the lease annually with the condition of having a report presented to city commission prior was agreed upon.

2018 Christmas celebration firework display authorized This year marks the 85th anniversary of The Bird Bar and Grill and the 25th anniversary of Mount Pleasant’s Christmas celebration, said City Manager Nancy Ridley. As a result, the Breidenstein family and owner of The Bird offered to allocate funds for a firework display to be held at the end of the Christmas parade on Dec. 1.

City ordinance states that fireworks are allowed on a holiday, the day before or the day after. Since Dec. 1 is neither of those, the commission had to approve this particular display.

Gillis said she looks forward to fireworks and congratulated The Bird on its anniversary.

“This is another fantastic example of the involvement of the community,” Quast-Lents said.

n Nov. 13, 2006, Central Michigan Life published a story on Jemmy Jasmin — a Florida senior and wide receiver for the Central Michigan Chippewas who created a rap song to help his team “fire up” before games.

“Everybody wanted something they could relate to on their own level — it’s our anthem for the year,” Jasmin said.

Jasmin is the founder and president for the non-profit “Stars of Tomorrow,” which aims to help less fortunate youth across the globe. Throughout his chaotic childhood in Miami, Jasmin turned to rap and R&B as an escape, and a creative outlet.

Describing the song as a “dirty south” alternative to the typical fight song, Jasmin’s teammates, like Kalamazoo junior Justin Gardner, thought the new anthem is a good source of motivation before stepping onto the field.

“Even Friday, when it was cold and rainy, it still got everybody’s juices flowing and focus into the game,” Gardner said. “It’s good to have this new generation song and not the standard old ‘Rah Rah Rah’ joint.”

Attendance story a reflection of CMU football, not student participation Head coach John Bonamego said it best — the Central Michigan football team needs to give fans something to watch.

Last weekend, I filed a story on cm-life.com that included photos showing the amount of fans in attendance at the game against rival Western Michigan. The photos, some taken before the severe weather evacuation and some taken after, showed empty stands although the athletics department reported that attendance for the game was 10,097 people.

Reactions to that story were mixed. Some readers felt the story was a shot at the fans for not showing up to the Western game.

Taking a shot at the fans was certainly not the purpose. My reporter instincts kicked in as I looked out from the press box – a great vantage point that allows you to see the full stadium. I took panoramic photos of Kelly/Shorts to show empty seats and how misleading the reported attendance numbers are.

Dylan Goetz Sports Editor

I did not suggest that more students should show up. I am on the same page as the students.

I understand. There isn’t much incentive to watch the football team, even when it’s “free.” That is why most elect to go to the tailgate then start the trek back to their apartments and dorm rooms when the game starts.

The Western Michigan game was windy, extremely cold and it started raining/hailing just after kickoff. Just to top it off, the best rivalry game in the state of Michigan was also taking place just over an hour south from Mount Pleasant in East Lansing.

Many people elected to either stay home and watch the Univer-

sity of Michigan play Michigan State or make the trip to MSU’s campus. CMU football’s watchability cannot compare to U-M and MSU — this is the same reason that the athletics department was playing the U-M and MSU game in the press box, even after the CMU game started.

This is not exclusively a CMU problem. It’s the exact same problem that many other trivial Mid-

CM-LIFE.COM CM Life prints twice a week on Monday and Thursday. Check out our content online at cm-life. com, where we publish every day.

American Conference schools face. They simply cannot compete with prolific Power Five teams for the interest of football fans.

The reported attendance at the CMU-WMU game was 10,097 people. By hand, I counted 255 people on the east side of the stadium at the end of the first quarter.

The attendance they report is much, much different than just fans in seats. They count the hundreds of promotional tickets they give away in sponsorships. They count Bonamego. They count the band. They count everyone.

Division I schools must average 15,000 people in attendance to keep their DI status, but the NCAA never enforces these rules.

As a formality, CMU submits different, fabricated numbers that were conducted via internal audit.

Universities can choose to submit “actual” or “paid” attendance numbers, according to NCAA bylaws. In paid attendance, the universities get to count each

ticket sold or student who actually attends the game. In actual attendance, the university only gets to count individuals who physically entered the stadium by keeping tickets, counting on turnstiles or counting manually.

Clearly, CMU opts for the paid attendance numbers.

No matter the number, it is clear that students have lost interest in their football team.

Even when the team is on track to make a bowl game, not many people attend the games — students or alumni. Football is simply out of favor.

Meanwhile, the Central Michigan football program is chasing a football culture that is impossible to reach if you are at a Big 10 program.

CMU will never pack the crowds like U-M and Michigan State, but until something changes, it will continue to mimic bigger programs with overpriced contracts and extravagant stadium additions.

Soccer’s final game today will decide postseason fate gan and sits at eighth in the MAC for save percentage.

As a team, EMU ranks third in the MAC with 100 total saves. EMU doesn’t have trouble putting themselves in position to score, ranking No. 1 in the MAC with 111 corners.

The Chippewas come into the pivotal game after a dominant over Miami (Ohio).

“It’s momentum now, “CMU coach Peter McGahey said following the win.

“Rest, recovery, get your mindset right and go into Eastern — a game that is basically a play-in game for the playoffs.”

Senior Lexi Pelafas is the Chippewas main source of offense. Her nine goals are sufficient for a third-place tie in the MAC. CMU swaps between starting Morgan Britain and Briana Wal-

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

If they win, Central Michigan soccer players make the Mid-American Conference Tournament. If they lose or tie, the Chippewas’ postseason fate is up to the results of other conference games.

CMU remains in control of their MAC tournament fate with one game remaining in the regular season against Eastern Michigan.

At this point in the season, the Chippewas are 7-11 overall and 5-5 in the conference.

Postseason Implications The top eight teams in the MAC advance to the end of season tournament.

CMU is in a sixth-place tie with Buffalo (11-6, 5-5), but there are three teams that could potentially overtake the Chippewas in the MAC standings if they lose their final game at Eastern Michigan (9-10, 4-6) on Thursday.

Toledo (8-8-2, 4-5-5)

and Akron (7-9-2, 4-5-5) could pass CMU with a CMU tie or loss. Eastern Michigan also needs to win if they seek tournament berth.

What to Expect Eastern Michigan is capping off a three-game home stand that resulted in a win

over Miami (Ohio) and a loss to Ball State.

The Eagles attack is paced by two talented forwards — junior Kristin Nason and sophomore Sabrina McNeil. Nason is eighth in the MAC with 18 points while McNeil is tied for ninth with 17 points.

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

DEFENSIVE LINEMAN BRISSON-FAST SUFFERS SEASON-ENDING INJURY Near the end of Central Michigan’s 35-10 loss to Western Michigan, defensive lineman Nathan Brisson-Fast took a hit from an opposing player.

CMU coach John Bonamego said it wasn’t a colossal hit, but the impact caught BrissonFast off balance.

The result was a leg injury which required surgery. Brisson-Fast is out for the remainder of the 2018 season.

“It’s unfortunate, especially the way it happened,” Bonamego said. “It wasn’t an ACL, but it’s a shame.”

Along with being out for the season, Brisson-Fast’s career at CMU is over. He is currently a fifth-year senior for the Chippewas and will not be eligible to return in 2019.

Brisson-Fast underwent surgery on Oct. 22, but Bonamego said he plans to have him rejoin the team for practice to help younger players develop in the next week or so.

Through seven games played in 2018, the 6-foot-5, 270-pound defensive lineman registered 31 tackles, six tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, one pass defended and two forced fumbles.

Defensive ends Mike Danna and Mitch Stanitzek, center Steve Eipper, running back Jonathan Ward and quarterback Tommy Lazzaro are all currently day-to-day in attempt to recover from injuries against WMU. Lazzaro did not practice on Oct. 23.
