Do your part, register to vote in this year’s midterm elections Michigan’s General Election is Tuesday, Nov. 6. The final day to be register to vote is Oct. 9. That means if you want to vote and you’re not registered, you have less than 20 days to do so. This November, you have the opportunity to choose who will become the new political leaders of Michigan. Until the next election, it will be the people elected into office in November who decide all of the most important decisions that will have an impact on everyone in Michigan. The race for Michigan’s governor is between of two very strong candidates — Democrat Gretchen Whitmer and Republican Bill Schuette. With such equally influential candidates on both sides, it’s hard to predict who will be Michigan’s next governor. That’s why it’s so important that as many people vote as possible, because

EDITORIAL every single vote counts. If you care about hundreds of thousands of Michiganders not having healthcare, then you need to vote in this election. If you think Michigan needs a better education system, then you need to vote in this election. If you think recreational marijuana should be legalized in Michigan, then you need to vote in this election. For the first time ever, the proposal to legalize recreational marijuana will be on Michigan’s November ballot. If it’s passed, Michigan will be one of only 10 states to legalize recreational marijuana for those older than 21. By registering to vote and voting in the

November election, you have the opportunity to help Michigan make history. Not only that, but you’ll help one of the two strong gubernatorial candidates get into office and make change in our state. Thankfully, on Central Michigan University’s campus, opportunities to register are not in short supply. The Mobile Secretary of State was on campus Sept. 10, which made it convenient for students to register quickly. Representatives from NextGen America, a social movement organization who is passionate about encouraging young people have been on campus nearly everyday, registering students to vote. CMU is actively trying to make it easier for their students to vote this year. On Sept. 11, the Academic Senate voted on and passed the Campus Vote Project Resolution, which was proposed by the Campus

Vote Coalition. The resolution encourages faculty members to excuse student absences on election days so students are able to participate in elections without being penalized. It also encourages faculty members to avoid scheduling any major presentations, exams or in-class projects on election days. The major reason behind the resolution is because the university knows it can be difficult for students to vote. A lot of students are registered in their hometowns which could be very far away from campus and the Secretary of State’s requires that people who don’t register to vote in person have to vote in person their first election. There are endless resources to make it easier for students to get civically engaged and involved in the community. Take advantage of it! Register to vote and make your voice heard.

Midwesterners: Climate change is something to worry about According to a recent Gallup survey, only 62 percent of Americans are concerned about climate change. I find this both troubling and frustrating. That number should be much higher. Then, I wonder how much of that 62 percent lives in the Midwest? As a Midwesterner, I’m terrified for our future. I don’t understand why others aren’t. We may not have to worry about rising sea levels quite as much as those who live on the coasts, but there are so many other factors that we should be concerned with. Do people not recognize that our weather extremes have gotten worse with each season? Hello, Midwest, but do you not feel how cold our winters have gotten or how hot and dry our past few summers have been? Sometimes, I think people fail to understand what weather is compared to climate change. Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions. People think that because our last winter was rough, global temperatures can’t be rising. That’s weather, not climate changing. According to NASA, these changes in climate include glaciers melting, sea levels rising, more frequent oc-

currences of extreme weather conditions and shifts in plant blooming times. The Midwest National Climate Assessment reveals that since 1900 temperatures in the Midwest have risen 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. That may not seem like a big difference, but a lot of that is humans fault. We have been releasing millions of pounds of greenhouse gases into the air, allowing heat to be trapped in our atmosphere. It’s undeniable that Earth goes through its own heating and cooling processes. We would only need to look back to the Ice Age to understand that. However, when temperatures are rising two degrees in only 100 years, we need to recognize that this time it’s our fault. We caused this. We need to prepare for what is to come. According to the Midwest National

Climate Assessment, agricultural yields for both corn and soy beans could decrease in the long run. Carbon dioxide levels are increasing in the air, which will most likely increase plant yields for a short period of time. However, other factors are predicted to overpower the high carbon dioxide levels, which will ultimately result in a decrease in production. One major factor is drastic temperature fluctuations. Freezes in the spring during budding time and extreme heat waves in the summer causing draughts could both negatively impact crop production. Higher temperatures will also put plants at a greater risk for disease. When the Midwest produces $86 billion in agricultural exports, we need to be worried about how this loss in agricultural production will hurt our economy. We also need to be concerned about our Great Lakes. The Great Lakes makes up 84 percent of America’s freshwater. With rising temperatures, our lakes may be in trouble. According to a study from University of Michigan and Michigan State University, the increase in tempera-

ture of the lakes could result in more harmful algal blooms, which would negatively impact the water quality and the rest of the wildlife in the lakes. Specifically, this could harm the fish and, in turn, the fishing industry. There has also been less ice coverage on the Great Lakes in recent years, which allows for longer shipping seasons. This may seem like it would help our economy, but it also puts our lakes at a greater risk for more invasive species. Invasive species like zebra mussels have been detrimental to the Great Lakes in the past, so putting our lakes at risk for more of these species will only hurt us down the line. All of our decisions in the past are beginning to catch up with us. We can’t change anything now. We can’t take back all the greenhouse gases we have already put up in our atmosphere. Yes, we can take steps like converting to renewable energy or recycling, but this will only prolong what is bound to happen. Truthfully, we just need to be aware of what is to come, so we can begin to adapt. Most importantly, we need to stop denying that this is happening.

The right is scared, petrified even, of ‘The Other’ It seems as if the right is scared of me and almost everyone else. The reason seems obvious. We do not support their misinformed idea of America. We don’t support religion’s role in the country. We don’t distrust people from different walks of life. We think things should change sometimes. We find flaws in our history. We reject the notion of making America great again because we can see that America wasn’t all that great for a lot of people. We support equal pay for equal work, immigration, good healthcare and access to higher education. Conservatives dislike these ideals and those who hold them, because they are different. It has been beat into the heads of conservative Americans to dislike the very notion of all things new, liberal or fresh. I call this the fear of “other”.

Jeremy Agosta Staff Reporter

Things may be an understatement, it’s more than that. The other includes people, their ideals and their culture. This is not by accident. Conservative media constantly resorts to this level of fear mongering. On a number of occasions conservative media has even claimed the left was about to start civil wars. Three occasions come to mind. The first one that picked up steam resulted from a joke tweet by Twitter user @KragTNelson. He wrote, “Can’t wait for No-

vember 4 when millions of Antifa super soldiers will behead all white parents and small business owners in the town square.” The Tweet picked up hilarious traction. On Nov. 3 Fox News published an article titled: “Antifa apocalypse? Anarchist group’s plan to overthrow Trump ‘regime’ starts Saturday” The Gateway Pundit published an article with the lead: “Tom Bloke, considered to be one of the leaders of the domestic terrorist group Antifa, took to Twitter today to threaten violence against ‘white parents’ and ‘small business owners’.” Similar totally legit threats have also been spread by the insanely popular right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Recently, odd threats have trickled down to other, smaller, right-wing media outlets.

Rick Wiles, a Christian broadcaster, said the following after watching Rachel Maddow: “America, you’ve been homosexualized. You’ve been Jewdy-ized. I’m just telling it how it is… She was spewing out, last night, calls for revolution. She was telling the left, ‘Take a deep breath, we’re at the moment, it’s coming, we’re almost there, we’re going to remove him from the White House.’ We’re about 72 hours, possibly 72 hours, from a coup.” The “fake news” claiming Christian right follows these outlets faithfully. On several occasions I have had to explain to right-wing relatives “No, Antifa is not going to storm the White House and start a revolution.” Fear is what is behind these farfetched notions of hostility. That is the fear of what is unknown, the fear of the other.

‘NEVER LET ANYONE SAY YOU CAN’T DO IT’

Athens junior Gaia Herrick’s persistence pays off on the field By Ian Wellhousen Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

t’s Monday morning — you sluggishly walk to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Muscle memory guides you through your tasks before you head out the door. Everyday, most of us take our mobility for granted. Athens junior Gaia Herrick doesn’t. At 10 years old, Herrick was diagnosed with an unidentified type of muscular dystrophy. Herrick’s doctors determined her condition was more severe than congenital muscular dystrophy and are still working to establish what type she has. “When I was first diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, I never used a wheelchair. I didn’t grasp what the full potential of this disease was,” Herrick said. “As I’ve gotten older, it’s been difficult to see the progression of my disease.” Despite having muscular dystrophy, Herrick took the field on Sept. 8 with the Marching Chips. She is able to participate in marching band with the aid of her wheelchair and one of her fellow marchers to help her navigate the field. At birth, Herrick was misdiagnosed with arthrogryposis, a joint disease. “I was basically born in half,” Herrick said. “I was in a full-body cast quite often as a child.” While Herrick’s muscular dystrophy diagnosis was discouraging, she did not allow it to interfere with her love for the clarinet. Muscular dystrophy, also known as MD,

is a degenerative neuromuscular disorder where genetic mutations interrupt the production of proteins. Herrick describes her condition as having some muscles that are weak -- like her heart and lungs -- while others don’t work at all. The disease affects about 100,000 Americans, according to the Muscular Dystrophy

Association. Many MD patients can expect short lifespans and are often unable to walk. Due to MD, Herrick’s childhood was filled with doctor’s appointments. She had multiple medical procedures done before she was three years old. Robert Herrick, Gaia’s father, will always cherish the moment when Gaia took her first steps at age four.

“It was the night of Christmas Eve and (Gaia) gave my wife and I the greatest Christmas gift ever. She put so much effort into her first steps,” Robert said, “My wife couldn’t help but tear up.” Herrick also said she will never forget her first steps. “I was with my cousins and they kept

encouraging me to play with them,” Herrick said, “I used a chair to push myself up and walked over to my cousins as my family looked on in astonishment.” Her interests in music grew as she became more comfortable shadowing her father, who is an elementary and high school band director. A year after taking her first steps, Herrick was able to play the trumpet, piano and drums. Her musical ambitions took full flight in middle school, the same year she was diagnosed with MD. Herrick decided she wanted to dedicate herself to mastering the clarinet. Upon entering high school, Herrick was excited to participate in marching band. However, freshman year did not go the way she thought it would. “They did not accommodate for my disability,” Herrick said. Following a disappointing freshman year, Herrick transferred to nearby ClimaxScotts High School in Climax, Michigan where her musical journey was able to continue. Climax-Scotts band director and 2009 CMU graduate Ryan Cupp not only accepted Herrick into the marching band,

but he personally wrote the marching band formations around where Herrick would be. “We would set out a chair and music stand on the field for Gaia before we performed and moved our formations around where Gaia was,” Cupp said. Cupp saw the passion Herrick has for music firsthand. “I require my students to practice for a certain amount of time each month,” Cupp said, “Gaia undoubtedly practiced more than any other student I’ve had, toppling over 10,000 minutes in one semester.” Laura Bandlow, Herrick’s private instructor, helped elevate Gaia’s clarinet skill to where it is today, as an asset in CMU’s marching band. Since Herrick has worked with Bandlow, she won the John Phillip Sousa award for best senior musician, was invited to be in the Meyer Music All-Star Band, was lead clarinet in two different college ensembles and received a scholarship for music. After earning three associate degrees from Kellogg Community College, Herrick had her first experience physically moving with a marching band when she arrived at CMU.

Batcheller said he was more than willing to coordinate plans for a talented musician. Batcheller accommodates Herrick by providing space for free agents during performances. “We write each formation to have one or two people less in each section than there actually are in case of an injury, illness or family event,” he said, “Instead of having members who are not marching in the show stand on the side, we have a consistent rotation of band members who volunteer to push Gaia on the field.” This method not only provides Gaia the opportunity to participate in the marching band but also allows others a chance to get some exposure on the field while interacting with the positive energy Herrick exudes. A win-win for all parties. “Gaia’s transition to the marching band has been as smooth or smoother than anyone else,” Batcheller said, “It stems from her attitude but also from her musical ability and sheer will get past her mobility issues.” No matter how she is feeling, Herrick steps up and faces the day. Herrick’s father mentioned that it’s easy for a disabled person to throw the towel in, but Gaia is a

go-getter who wants to earn her blessings. “Up until a couple years ago, Gaia rarely used her wheelchair because she wanted to prove she can walk and move like a normal

person even with this disease,” Robert said. While Gaia may rely on a wheelchair to get around now, her desire to be great pushes her to gain ground.

“The biggest thing I tell people with disabilities or anyone with obstacles in their life is to just keep pushing,” Herrick said. “Never let anyone say you can’t do it.”

he #MeToo movement didn’t begin as a “witch hunt.” The core of the movement lies in the community of sexual violence survivors who want to be believed, understood and heal, said founder Tarana Burke. Burke provided knowledge and discussion about sexual violence and surviving abuse to the Central Michigan University campus on Sept. 17. Her light-hearted jokes and powerful red dress caught the attention of the audience as she sparked a conversation about a serious topic plaguing more than just college campuses. Burke elaborated on the #MeToo movement and how it’s changed, especially in the eyes of the media, during the past year. She said the current systems on college campuses, within workplaces and in our political system are not the answer. The true root of the problem lies in power and privilege that give individuals the access to harm others, she said. When Burke was a target of sexual violence 40 years ago, she didn’t know terms like “survivor.” She said she referred to herself as a victim until someone taught her otherwise. She said survivors can feel isolated when people say “I’m sorry that happened to you.” Rather, the #MeToo founder insisted on using words that help survivors feel like they are part of a community and understood by those who may not have had similar experiences. “The reason why I use words like dignity and humanity so emphatically is because I think people who haven’t been sexually assaulted don’t understand what it does, but everyone wants to have their dignity,” Burke said. “Everyone wants to be treated like a human being. Everyone can relate to that.” Burke told the audience one in four women are sexually assaulted on college

#MeToo Movement founder Burke sparks conversation about sexual violence awareness By Kersten Kruse and Rob Linsley Staff Reporters campuses each year. Lansing graduate student Jordan X Evans said he was interested in the event because he is interested in what part men can play in addressing sexual violence. “I need to be doing more, especially as a male,” Evans said. “It makes sense for me to be here. It makes sense to have more guys here as well, they’re the ones who are the perpetrators of violence and sexual assault.” Evans emphasized that the current movement needs to “recenter” around women of color and other marginalized groups.

“Women of color have acts of violence perpetrated against them and have been ignored and pushed to the back,” he said. In the context of a university, “recentering” would mean systemic changes and promotion of diversity instead of only a few diversity offices, Evans said. Imlay City junior Cassie Malhado noted the movement needs to consciously include male survivors in the conversation. “It tends to be thought of as a female issue only,” Malhado said. “We expect men to be tough. That is a big reason why it doesn’t

necessarily come to light and I think we really need a spokesperson to come forward for (male survivors).” Malhado is right: male survivor organization one in six cites multiple studies that say roughly one in six boys are sexually assaulted before turning 18. That’s not counting adult men. One in 10 rape victims is male, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN). The LGBTQ community is another underrepresented group in sexual violence discussions. Transgender people in particular, are at risk. According to RAINN, 21 percent of transgender, genderqueer and gender non-conforming college students have experienced sexual assault — compared to 18 percent for cisgender female students. Manistique sophomore Allison Casey said they’ve often experienced fetishization due to their orientation as a person who identifies as non-binary and bisexual. “People in positions of power have less of a reason to see us as people and therefore are more likely to take advantage,” Casey said. Still, Casey sees hope for the future. “It’s really nice,” Casey said, “to see a broad nationwide, worldwide effort to have solidarity with each other.” Burke said she hopes some young, bright visionary can take over her job in the next five years. She encouraged advocates and activists to take the movement to the next level by providing fresh ideas. “It’s not about one person,” Burke said. “Let’s work together. Let’s heal together. If you’re ready to do that part - if you’re ready to do the work to end sexual violence - I can only leave you with these two words: ‘me too.’”

SGA approves $1,500 for trial-run of free tampons

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

Student Government Association is moving forward with the “Menstrual Hygiene Product Initiative,” which aims to provide free menstrual hygiene products in buildings across campus. SGA is still working to get university administration on board. Until then, it will conduct a “trial run,” during which it will supply free tampons in four restrooms on CMU’s campus for the 2018-19 academic school year. SGA will keep track of how often the tampons are used and present that data to the university at the end of the year. The initiative is being led by SGA Vice

C om e J oi nU s

President Lyndi Rose. She updated SGA on the initiative’s progress at the Sept. 17 meeting. On Sept. 16, SGA Executive Board approved the purchase of $1,500 worth of tampons from Tampon Tribe, a California-based organic feminine hygiene product supplier. That amount came from the $6,949 special projects budget approved for this year. The approved budget covered the cost of more than 4,700 tampons, which is expected to last for the entirety of the 2018-19 academic school year. Tampons will be stocked by SGA members in one women’s restroom at each of four locations: Bovee University Center, the Student Activities Center, Charles V. Park Library and the Student Government Association office on the first floor of U.C. Between 50-100 tampons will be stocked every two weeks. Rose will keep track of how many tampons are being used. Next year, we’re hoping administration will supply both tampons and pads,” Rose said. At this point, the university is concerned this resource could be abused, or may not be cost-effective. SGA will put posters in bathrooms to remind students to use the products “graciously.” Since the 1980s, the university has been contractu-

The resolution states “students at (CMU) may experience health risks due to lack of funds necessary to purchase menstrual hygiene products.” It also references a petition for free menstrual health products across CMU, which received more than 200 signatures from faculty and staff. The resolution is sponsored by 20 RSOs, including Organization of Women Leaders, Black Lives Matter and the Women’s Rugby Team. “Toilet paper is free, and tampons should be free,” Rose said.

Central Michigan University is getting ready to welcome back Amy Roloff. The alumna will speak at 7 p.m. Sept. 27 in Plachta Auditorium, a free event organized by Program Board. Roloff is a star from the TLC reality show “Little People, Big World.” The program follows Roloff through her day-to-day life alongside her family and 4 children and the difficulties surrounding her experience of achondroplasia dwarfism. During her lecture, Roloff will speak about her early life, her time at CMU and life after her graduation.. Not only has Roloff been interviewed on several talk shows such as “Oprah” and “The View,” but she is also an author and started her own charity, “The Amy Roloff Charity Foundation,” that aims to help families in need.

HARVARD PROFESSOR TO SPEAK ABOUT MASS INCARCERATION IN AMERICA Dr. Elizabeth Hinton of Harvard University will speak on “America’s prison problem” at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 21 in Powers Hall. The lecture titled “The Making of Mass Incarceration in America” will take place in the ballroom and is free to students and the public. A reception will follow in the Powers Hall lobby. Hinton joined Harvard’s history and African and African-American studies departments in 2014 as an assistant professor. Hinton has said her fascination of the past started at an early age. “As a little girl, I used to ask my parents to tell me about what I called then ‘the olden times,’” she told Harvard Magazine. Hinton’s research focuses on the persistence of poverty and racial inequality in the 20th century United States. Her book, “From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime: The Making of Mass Incarceration in America,” from which

CLEVELAND INDIANS LOGO ON UNDERGRADUATE BULLETIN COVER PROMPTS CHANGE The 2018-19 Central Michigan University Undergraduate Bulletin was published in August with a photo of three students on the cover, one of whom was wearing a Cleveland Indians T-Shirt. The baseball team has been under scrutiny for years regarding its Chief Wahoo logo, which will be taken off the players uniforms by 2019, the New York Times reported. Director of University Communications Heather Smith said University Communications collaborated with Curriculum and Assessment, the office responsible for creating academic bulletins, to choose the bulletin cover. Smith said the team was deciding between a few photos and, at the time, nobody noticed the logo in the photo they chose. “It was certainly an oversight,” Smith said. “It didn’t click.” After the bulletin was published online

and printed in August, Smith received an email pointing out the logo in the photo. “We changed it in the online version immediately,” Smith said. Students no longer receive printed copies of the bulletin. About 500 physical copies of the bulletin were printed this year, which were distributed internally to academic departments. -Sara Kellner, University Editor

CHANGES BEGIN AS ACADEMIC REORGANIZATION ENTERS SECOND YEAR The Academic Organizational Review is entering year two, and changes are being made in the Academic Division. Provost Michael Gealt’s plan to reorganize the Academic Division resulted in a new Office of Academic Affairs, created to help the university improve academic support. According to a University Communication press release, “The Office of Academic Affairs was created to help improve consistency of support provided to students, faculty and staff; budgetary support; and program evaluation efficiency.” Now, Academic Affairs consists of three units including academic advising, community engagement and curriculum and instructional support. Previously serving as senior vice provost for the academic reorganization initiative, Ian Davison will now serve as the interim senior vice provost for academic affairs. Academic advising plans to balance the level of support given to students. Michelle Howard serves as the executive director. The community engagement unit aims to accomplish goals related to the community, which are listed in in the 2017-2022

strategic plan. The curriculum and instructional support unit will be led by former Vice Provost for Academic Development Pete Ross. The offices of Academic Effectiveness and Academic Development were eliminated with the creation of the Office of Academic Affairs. “The new unit will lead curricular development, acting as the liaison with Academic Senate committees and working with departments to coordinate program review,” the release said. Jane Davison will remain the acting dean of the College of Science and Engineering. The College of Medicine has also undergone changes under the initiative. The Dean of the College of Medicine, George Kikano, now has an expanded role at the college. “Kikano will be responsible for coordinating all health-related clinical programs, including clinical clerkships and internships, healthrelated billing, and HIPAA compliance across CMU,” the release said. -Jeremy Agosta, Staff Reporter

Soccer struggles to find offense before MAC opener By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

After scoring five goals and winning in a shutout against Oakland a week before the soccer team’s Senior Day, the 1-0 loss on Sept. 16 has the team ready to regroup. “It’s a loss, it’s never a good feeling when we lose,” said senior forward Lexi Pelafas. “Especially on Senior Day, we’re going to have to let this one sting for as little bit. We have to come back even harder next week.” The Chippewas (2-6) lost to UIC (2-8) in a game where CMU out-shot the Flames 15-2. It was the second time CMU has been shutout this year. Against the Flames, CMU got offensive pressure, but never found the back of the net. “For large stretches of the game we really put on a dominant performance and kept UIC under a lot of pressure and

created a lot of chances,” said head coach Peter McGahey. “Unfortunately, our chance didn’t come today and they took their chance and took off with it.” CMU tallied multiple shots in the second half, but UIC’s freshman goalie Haley Leanna made five saves. On the season, CMU has scored 13 goals on 42 shots on goal, which is 30.9 percent. Senior forward Madison Costner is second on the team with three goals. She said the team has to stay positive and be patient. “Our execution has been a little off,” Costner said. “We can’t let the lack of finishing really get to us. We need to really focus on getting that one goal and let it play out from there.” Senior midfielder Shannon Magnan is second on the team with nine points. She said the team needs to become more involved in the offense. “The more people you can get to score on your entire team, the better of a team you are,” Mag-

nan said. “Once we start involving more midfield, defense and forwards all collectively scoring goals, that’s when we can be really good. Also we need to be better in the final third with execution because it is just a split second chance that we score.” Pelafas, who leads the team with 14 points, said they will look to start making improvements during practice. “We have to let this go and just try to get more opportunities,” Pelafas said. “We know we can be a really good team and we can get to that point.” The Chippewas open MidAmerican Conference play against Ohio at 6 p.m., Sept. 21 at the CMU Soccer Complex. “We have to learn and grow from (the UIC loss) because it’s really all we can do,” Carlson said. “We need to be hungry when we start the MAC and we are really excited for that. I think we are going to do well, so we have things to look forward to.”

Lazzaro officially named starting quarterback, replaces Poljan sports@cm-life.com

When Tommy Lazzaro ran for a touchdown on his first drive at quarterback, the starting quarterback of the game was the first to congratulate him. Tony Poljan was supposed to go back out on the field after Lazzaro’s single drive against Northern Illinois Sept. 15, but a touchdown run from the junior with 3:06 left in the third quarter earned him another possession. The result – another touchdown. Now, Lazzaro is Central Michigan football’s starting quarterback. Head coach John Bonamego named Lazzaro the starter at practice on Sept. 18 and placed Poljan into the backup spot. In three games as the starting quarterback, redshirt sophomore Poljan completed 40-of-70 passes for 344 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. He’s added just 84 yards on 32 carries. With Poljan under center, CMU was ranked in the bottom 15 total offenses in the nation. The Chippewas are 0-3 to start the season, losing to Kentucky, Kansas and Northern Illinois, a Mid-American Conference opponent. Lazzaro played one and a half quarters against the Huskies and was immediately effective. He was 13-of-22 through the air for 128 yards and a touchdown. The junior chipped in 55 yards and a score while running the ball. “He has the ability to move the team down the field,” Bonamego said of Lazzaro. “He’s decisive and aggressive with his throws. I saw his ability to maneuver in the pocket and extend plays.” His lone interception went in-and-out of redshirt freshman receiver Cameron Cole’s hands and fell into the arms of Vinny Labus to end the game. It was the 21-year-old’s first ever appearance for Central Michigan since transferring

to the program after the 2015 season with Dodge City Community College in Kansas. The journey was not easy. At Pine Creek High School in Colorado, Lazzaro excelled in the classroom and on the football field, but Dodge City was the only school to offer him. Lazzaro was just a kid chasing a dream. “I knew I could play,” Lazzaro said. “Nobody recruited out of Colorado back then.” Lazzaro, at 6-foot-3, 217 pounds, led Pine Creek to back-to-back Class 4A Colorado state championships in the 2013 and 2014 seasons. He set school records with 3,340 passing yards and 37 touchdown throws throughout three years on varsity. As a senior, he pushed Pine Creek to a 14-0 record while slinging the ball for 1,512 yards and 14 touchdowns. He also carried the ball 116 times for 967 yards and 14 scores. Going to a JUCO was a culture shock, but Lazzaro bounced back. There was never much to do in Dodge City, Kansas, at least that’s how Lazzaro viewed it during his tenure. It was an area that made Mount Pleasant seem like a massive city. His hometown, just outside Colorado Springs, was less populated than Mount Pleas-

ant, but much more than Dodge City. “It was a culture shock out of high school,” Lazzaro said of Dodge City Community College. “The boys there really brought me in.” Dodge City head coach Gary Thomas and Central Michigan offensive line coach Derek Frazier worked together in 2001 at Adams State College in Colorado. The duo went their separate ways, but stayed in touch. Once Lazzaro’s time at Dodge City was coming to a close in 2015, Thomas made a connection with Frazier, who was in his first year coaching for the Chippewas. Lazzaro turned the Conquistadors to a 9-3 team in 2015 after the group was 3-9 without him a year prior. “There was never a time that I wanted to leave football while I was there,” Lazzaro said. The Chippewas, led by Bonamego, extended a scholarship offer. Lazzaro committed and signed on Dec. 17, 2015. Upon arriving at CMU, Lazzaro sat behind Cooper Rush in 2016 and Shane Morris in 2017. Pushing for a starting position, the coaching staff instead gave it to Poljan in 2018. “No one is ever happy to be

second-string,” Lazzaro said. “There were definitely days where I didn’t want to do it anymore. Getting through those makes the good days a lot better.” Three weeks into the 2018 season, Lazzaro took it away and is now running with the opportunity. Sitting behind Rush and Morris is something Lazzaro calls a blessing in disguise. Rush taught him how to watch film and study for an upcoming game, while Morris instructed him on playmaking and preparation. Fast forward three years from his transfer and Lazzaro nearly brought the Chippewas back against Northern Illinois. After scoring in the third quarter, Poljan jumped at the chance to congratulate Lazzaro. “It’s a testament to his character,” Lazzaro said. “It’s not the situation anyone

wants to be in. He handled it in an amazing way and was helping me throughout the entire game.” Bonamego plans to use Poljan, at 6-foot-7, as a wide receiver and tight end. He will remain the backup quarterback, but is too valuable to keep off the field. “Tony Poljan’s too good of an athlete to stand on the sidelines with a clipboard,” Bonamego said. “We need to get him on the field because he can help us win.” In 2017, Poljan lost the quarterback battle to Morris, but appeared in all 12 games as a quarterback and wide receiver, with plenty of designed quarterback run plays. Poljan is back at receiver and ready to help the team. Bonamego said the Poljan has handled the situation with the utmost class. “Ultimately, I’m a team player,” Poljan said. “I trust my coaches. I’ll do what’s best

for the team.” Lazzaro’s parents attended the CMU’s first two games against Kentucky and Kansas but did not travel to DeKalb. It was the first game he played in that his parents could not attend. Regardless of the absence of his family, Lazzaro’s phone was filled with love from friends and family at every stop in his football career – Pine Creek High School, Dodge City Community College and Central Michigan University. “I was surrounded by love. It’s been a long time coming,” he said. “A lot of people reached out to me and I appreciate it.” Lazzaro, despite the loss, began a new era – not only for Central Michigan football but for himself. “Scoring that first touchdown and seeing it all come full circle is one of the greatest feelings of my life. It was a dream come true,” he said.

LIFE IN BRIEF

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

VOLLEYBALL OPENS MAC PLAY AGAINST EASTERN MICHIGAN ON THURSDAY Following a rigorous nonconference schedule that ended with national champion Nebraska at the Husker Invite, Central Michigan volleyball opens MidAmerican Conference play against Eastern Michigan Thursday, Sept. 20. Last season, the Chippewas earned their first MAC tournament birth since 2012 and their first third-place finish in the MAC West Division since 2009. The Eagles enter Thursday’s game with an 8-6 record. Similar to CMU, EMU is riding a threegame losing streak. Game time for the MAC opener is set for 7 p.m. Sept. 19 in McGuirk Arena. Having not played a game at home since File Photo | Mary Sept. 1 during Lewandowski the Chippewa Freshman defensive specialist Invitational, Jamison Wolffis serves the ball head coach in a match earlier in the season. Mike Gawlik is

excited to be back in friendly territory. “It’s always nice to be back in your home building,” Gawlik said. “I think we match up well with them (EMU) from a physical standpoint.”

FRESH START At 3-9 on the season, Gawlik views the start of conference play as a reset button given the rocky start. To him, the difficult first part of the season has prepared the team to succeed in the MAC. “At 3-9, I know it’s not where we want to be and we kind of get a fresh start here,” Gawlik said. “We built our pre-conference schedule to help prepare us for MAC play, and even the lessons we learned when we lost have to be carried forward so that we put ourselves in a position to be successful.” FAMILIAR FOE Since his hiring in 2016, Gawlik’s teams have taken Eastern Michigan to five sets in each of the four contests, winning three. The Eagles graduated just two players from their 2017 roster and are returning three three-year letter winning seniors to 2018. “We’re pretty familiar with all of the teams in the MAC, certainly the teams in the West like Eastern,” Gawlik said. “Man, they’re scrappy. I think Kimi Olson does a really good job with them getting them to play hard, so we know that we’re going to get a gritty dog fight.”

CHRIS DAVIS RETURNS AS MEN’S BASKETBALL ASSISTANT COACH FOR 2018-19 SEASON Chris Davis’ return to the Central Michigan men’s basketball program didn’t take long. After leaving for an assistant coaching position at Air Force last season, Davis returns as an assistant coach with the Chippewas after being the team’s video coordinator from 2016-17. Davis has coaching experience that goes back 32 years when he started as a graduate assistant at CMU’s rival, Western Michigan in the 1986-87 season. Davis has been an assistant coach at Grand Valley State University, Kent State University, Drake, Providence UC Davis and WMU. Davis coached with CMU head coach Keno Davis at both Providence and Drake. CHRIS DAVIS The Jackson native earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan and a master’s degree in sports administration from WMU. Former CMU assistant coach Kevin Gamble left the program for a advanced scouting position with the Toronto Raptors on Sept. 5.
