DUTY HONOR COUNTRY Student Senate goes ‘Army Strong’ with veteran representative

rand Valley State University’s Student Senate intends to represent the entire student body — traditional and non-traditional students alike —and nine-year U.S. Army veteran Doug Krusell is helping to do just that.

With his experience serving in Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan and several bases in the U.S., Krusell will bring a different perspective to the table and help give representation to students other than undergraduates.

“The average student doesn’t understand what a veteran goes through,” said Steven Brown, president of the Student Veterans Organization. “Most of us joined

Brown agreed that all students on campus should have their opinions heard.

“I believe the senate should be broad,” Brown said. “Everybody should have a voice on campus to be represented.”

But fair representation isn’t Krusell’s only goal. The veteran said he also wants to work with the university to address SEE DUTY, A2

Due to discrepancies between both U.S. Senate candidates, Grand Valley State University’s biyearly U.S. Senate debate will be put on hold until both parties can agree to the terms and dates of the event.

“We have done the U.S. Senate debates since 1996 and there have been issues of negotiating between parties in the past, but never for this long,” said Ken Kolbe, assistant general manager of WGVU TV. The debate, which would be between Senator Debbie Stabenow and former House Representative Pete Hoekstra, does not have a set date and will not happen until both sides can agree on when the debate would be and the overall format.

Even though the debate has been placed on hold, the topic of different debates have been discussed by both parties, just not with each other.

In an Aug. 17 press release, Hoekstra called for six debates to be held against Stabenow across the state to discuss “serious economic challenges that the country continues to face” and “the solutions we need to get Michigan families working again.”

Stabenow declined the offer for the six debates, but has accepted two different debates within the state.

“We look forward to debating the issues important to Michigan families at the Detroit Economic Club and at Grand Valley State University, as candidates have done in Michigan’s last five senate elections,” said the Stabenow campaign’s Communications Director Cullen Schwarz in a press release.

The only issue is that Hoekstra has not accepted the two debates.

“Hoekstra came out and said he wanted six debates but Stabenow said no,” Kolbe said. “Now, Hoekstra has accepted offers to other debates, but not the two that Stabenow has agreed to.”

While the structure of the debate at GVSU is still up in the air because of negotiations, Kolbe said in the past it has been done a variety of different ways.

“In the past we have done it before a panel of journalists, with or without a mediator, before live audiences, sometimes with questions or with questions read by a mediator, and sometimes without questions,” Kolbe said. “The format is negotiated by the candidates and can also depend on how much time we have to set it up.”

This year’s debate would most likely happen in the WGVU studio and will be broadcast on seven different stations across the state but in the past, the event has been held in the Loosemore Auditorium and in the L.V. Eberhard Center. associate@lanthorn.com

CLAS stars as sustainable college of October

By Ellie Phillips GVL Staff Writer

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences stands in the Sustainability Spotlight for the month of October. With six seminars and 32 classes offered that relate to sustainability, the largest college in Grand Valley State University has truly been decreasing its footprint and ‘going green.’

“CLAS embraces the concept and goals of sustainability and incorporates those throughout its activities, including paperless meetings whenever possible, recycling in our offices and printing on recycled paper,” said Shaily Menon, associate dean of CLAS. “CLAS faculty have been an integral part of storm water projects on the Allendale campus, whose goal is to manage storm water and protect the fragile ecosystem in the ravines. CLAS faculty have worked closely with Facilities Planning to design and implement water diversions, planting,

oomate?

green roofs, rain gardens and sustainable building design. CLAS (also) features sustainability in many of the articles that are published in its newsletter.”

Sustainability will be featured in the activities at the CLAS Mindgating table in the Homecoming Expo, and student groups, including SWCS, the BIO club, the SEC and other volunteers, will work to ensure as close to a zero-waste football game as possible.

CLAS has also chosen one specific area to highlight in their sustainability initiatives: ‘fracking,’ a process used to extract fossil fuels from a rock layer by pumping it with a mixture of sand, chemicals and water until it fractures. “(Fracking) was chosen because of its relevance to communities in the state and potential environmental and human health concerns related to the process and leaks associated with the process,” Menon said.

The 32 classes offered by CLAS that relate to sustainability include

The World After Einstein (PHY 303), Historical Geography of the Amazon (GPY 361) and Global Agricultural Sustainability (BIO 319).

“CLAS departments offer a wide range of classes and research projects on environmental issues including Natural Resources Management and the Annis Water Resources Institute,” said Bart Bartels, campus sustainability manager.

Though the classes are not necessarily new, as sustainability awareness has been increasing over recent years, highlighting the classes is just another way to promote campus sustainability, a goal that is very important to CLAS. “The Liberal Arts and Sciences enable students to engage in critical inquiry and to understand the relationship of humans with their social, cultural and natural environment,” Menon said. “It helps students to develop as citizens in a democracy and as members of the global community of the 21st SEE SUSTAINABLE, A2

century. Since sustainability is one of the defining issues of the 21st century, there is a strong connection between Liberal Arts and Sciences and explorations of what sustainability means and how we can achieve it in local, regional, and global contexts.”

According to the October Spotlight web site, the six seminars offered by BARTELS CLAS will occur over the course of the month, the first of which is set for Oct. 9 from 1 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.

It will feature speaker Kristi Klomp, executive director of the Timberland Resource Conservation and Development Council, Inc. The event is currently standing room only. Paul Rogers, MDNR Forest Fire Office, will be speaking Oct. 23 from 1 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. in the same location, and space is limited.

The Frauenthal Center’s Beardsley Theatre will host the TEDx Energy event Oct. 11, from 9:15 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Though there is a $30 registration fee, $5 of the fee will go to benefit the community. To register, visit tedxmuskegon.com. Also, CLAS faculty from a range of disciplines will make presentations on the theme of sustainability in the CLAS Faculty Research Colloquium on Oct. 19, from 2:30-5:00 p.m., in room 308 of the Padnos building.

inconsistencies between course work difficulty and the student’s knowledge of the subject among different sections of the same class. The educational experience among all sections of classes should be very similar, he said.

“Having been an instructor in the army, I also look at problems we face from the perspective of an instructor and a student to try and find a balance and appropriate solution for everyone,” said Krusell, who was an instructor at the Army Intelligence School at Ft. Huachuca, Ariz., for three years.

He said he has over 1,000 student contact hours after having taught an advanced course that certifies students to perform specific sensitive operations overseas.

Now that Krusell is playing the

role of student, finding time to get involved on campus is difficult. He is taking a full class load with 16 credits and trying to keep his 4.0 GPA. His wife is also a full-time student at GVSU working on her second bachelor’s degree, and they have a 3-yearold daughter to look after.

“Neither of us have time for a social life outside of our family,” Krusell said.

He encouraged other non-traditional students to make time to get involved and get their voices heard.

“I am really amazed at how much the traditional students on the senate really care about the issues we face and want to hear our opinions and perspective,” Krusell said. “I would urge you to get involved. Together we can make a difference. If you have an idea, or an opinion about anything related to GVSU, come to the Student Senate meetings, or send me an email.”

“Diversifying our

student body as a whole makes sense.”

EDUCATIONAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

This year, Student Senate is working to get a wider range of senators than in years past in an effort to have more inclusive representation across the board. The senators are planning to soon add international students and graduate students among their ranks.

“Diversifying our body as a whole makes sense,” Carlson said. “We are representative of the entire campus, so that should be transferred over to our body.” shillenbrand@lanthorn.com

Reality TV stars share experiences with GV The Grand River Room exceeded capacity Oct. 8 to see ‘16 and Pregnant’ stars

BY ASTEPHANIE ALLEN GVL A&E EDITOR

T

he Grand River Room, inside Grand Valley State University’s Kirkhof Center, reached full capacity at 500 people Monday night, with a line of more than 200 wanting to get inside to hear the real “16 and Pregnant” story.

Reality TV stars Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra came to GVSU sponsored by Bethany Christian Services and Students for Life to talk about their experience with unplanned pregnancy and their choice of adoption.

In 2009, Lowell was 16 years old, living in Algonac, Mich., and faced with a decision. She was still in high school, her mother was an alcoholic, Baltierra’s father was a crack addict, and she was pregnant.

Dawn Baker was the pregnancy counselor working with Lowell and Baltierra through their adoption process, when she was approached by MTV’s “16 and Pregnant,” and asked if she knew any birth moms that would fit the criteria – Lowell was perfect and willing.

They shared their story with audiences through the

show, and are now on a university tour to connect with people who might be going through a similar situation.

“We were thrilled to have the opportunity to promote choosing life, and the choice of adoption,” said R.J. McVeigh, president of Students for Life at GVSU. Students for Life is a student-run group that values human life at every stage, and they take a pro-life stance on all issues. McVeigh said the group gives students an opportunity to speak freely about their beliefs and helps them gain courage to support life.

When Bethany Christian approached Students for Life with the opportunity to bring Lowell and Baltierra to campus, McVeigh said they were excited to help with an event that promotes a better understanding of adoption and a pro-life choice to unplanned pregnancy.

“This type of event really gives students courage,” McVeigh said. “Students should have courage in defending (their) beliefs.”

For Jackie Geyer, hearing Lowell discuss her adoption process hit close to home.

Geyer is not a GVSU student, but a birth mom who worked with Bethany Christian Ser-

vices and placed her son with an adoptive family.

“I wanted to see what they experienced,” Geyer said.

She said it was sad to learn that Lowell chose a semi-open adoption, and only see hers daughter once or twice a year.

Geyer chose a very open adoption and visits her son twice a month.

Dana Evans found out about the event from Bethany Christian Services, but as an adoptive mother, she said

Lowell’s story is inspiring.

“I don’t think there’s any more amazing moment,” Evans said. “Any birth parent is amazing.”

Hearing how other parents have gone through and dealt with the decisions of unplanned pregnancy gives hope to people like Geyer.

Bethany Christian Services and Students for Life have free information available for students and anyone who might be going through an un-

expected pregnancy. McVeigh said he wants students to know through events such as Monday nights that they aren’t alone, and they aren’t a minority.

“A lot of students deal with this, and a lot have the courage to make the decisions that they make,” McVeigh said.

Turkey consul general opens dialogue at GVSU

BY LIZZY BALBOA GVL NEWS EDITOR

Grand Valley State University will host Fatih Yildiz, the consul general of Turkey for Chicago, Thursday to address Turkey’s role in the Middle East, the world and U.S. operations.

Chad Lingwood, associate professor of history who arranged the visit, said he chose a diplomat from Turkey because the country has emerged as a major participant in Middle Eastern politics over the years. Turkey has been diplomatically involved in the Arab Spring, tension over the Iranian nuclear program, the IsraeliPalestinian affair and the civil war in Syria.

“So, from the perspective of international diplomacy, and the apparent balancing act Turkey is trying to perform—one encapsulated in its so-called ‘no problems

yildiz with neighbors’ slogan—it is one of the world’s most fascinating countries,” Lingwood said, adding that it is also a very important country. “It is a U.S. ally and member of NATO; it participates in many European economic and security organizations; and being a Muslim country, albeit one with a strong tradition of secularism, it is a significant voice on issues affecting Muslims in the Middle East and around the world.”

Lingwood said he is not sure what Yildiz will discuss, but thinks he will touch on the mediating role Turkey tries to maintain in the Middle East and possibly on the Israeli-Palestinian situation. Lingwood said he hopes Yildiz mentions the growing tensions between the U.S. and Iran over Iran’s nuclear program.

“Turkey, in recent years, has put forth proposals in an effort to get the U.S. and the Iranians to engage in talks and thus ease their mutual suspicions, so it would be interesting to hear him talk about this,” Lingwood said.

Yildiz is also expected to touch on the relationship between the U.S. and Turkey, which hosted U.S. nuclear missiles during part of the Cold War and continues to house an important U.S. air base. Lingwood said Turkey also has positive relations with U.S. tourists and busi-

nesses.

“Turkey has been an ally of the U.S. for decades and continues to work in partnership with the U.S. on a whole host of issues,” Lingwood said, but added that the U.S. and Turkey’s diplomatic ties have been strained due to American involvement in Iraq and its “relatively cool relations with Israel.”

Otgonbaatar Bayarmagnai, an international student from Mongolia, studied in Turkey for four years and said his university had no bias toward Americans, but its people didn’t always reflect positively on the U.S. “As an international student living and studying in Turkey, my observation of Turkish people’s general attitudes toward the United States is somewhat interesting,” Bayarmagnai said.

“Turks are very friendly and welcoming (toward) people

and I don’t see any particular attitude toward Americans, but (more toward) America.

People see the United States as having mainly negative influence.”

Regardless of the reputation of the U.S., GVSU’s reception of Yildiz will do nothing to hinder positive dialogue between the nations.

“I imagine students and faculty will get a greater sense of why Turkey matters in the world, especially in the context of just how interconnected and rapidly changing the world has become,” Lingwood said. “Stated a bit differently, because of Turkey’s unique blend of tradition and modernism, along with its unique geography—with one foot in Europe, the other in Asia—students will gain new insight into a country that has many very intriguing dimensions to it.” news@lanthorn.com

Great Lakes conference sparks dialogue

BY KARA HAIGHT GVL STAFF WRITER

Grand Valley State University’s history department and women and gender’s studies program are partnering with the Women’s and Gender Historians of the Midwest (WGHOM) to host this year’s 2012 Great Lakes History Conference, which will open dialogue across disciplines.

Conference chair Gretchen Galbraith said the theme of this year’s program, “Born in Revolution: History, Gender and the Power of Conflict,” is an appropriate topic for all. “(The theme) has relevance for all of our lives because it brings together issues that are as relevant in 2012 as they were in the past,” said Galbraith, who teaches history at GVSU and is a founding board member of WGHOM. “We want this conference to create conversations between students and faculty, members of the community and the university, and between filmmakers and historians.”

The conference will include sessions and panels consisting of GVSU faculty and other professors and historians from universities across the Midwest. The conference will also include two keynote speakers.

Friday will bring filmmaker Grace Lee who will present excerpts from her documentary, “American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs.” The film is about the life and work of centenarian Grace Lee Boggs, Detroit activist and feminist.

On Saturday, Northern Illinois University history professor Beatrix Hoffman will discuss her upcoming book, “Health Care for Some,” which explores health care in the U.S. in a talk titled “Health Care for All! Women, Activism, and the Human Right to Health.”

“This event has a long track record of bringing fascinating programming from which students, faculty and local community members with interest in history can benefit,” said Monica Johnstone, director of communications and advancement in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Johnstone said the topics emphasized during the conference are important for all Michigan residents to explore.

“This conference will provide a wonderful opportunity to consider people and issues of on-going relevance both here in Michigan and nationally,” she said.

The Great Lakes History Conference has been around

for 30 years and aims to bring historians from the public and universities together to discuss research.

According to the history department’s website, the event began in 1975 when two GVSU professors, Charles Sorensen and Anthony Travis, wanted faculty from GVSU and other Midwest colleges to come together to present their research.

The conference has grown to include graduate students, historian and independent scholars, and it’s meant to bring scholarly work into the public eye.

Galbraith has been involved with the conference for 20 years, but is in her first year of chairing it.

“It made sense to me to make this year’s conference a collaboration between GVSU’s history department and WGHOM,” she said. “In addition to having participation from GVSU history faculty and students, historians from across the Midwest have contributed to its program.”

While the program will consist of collaboration from a wide range of scholars, all students and faculty are encouraged to attend the panels and sessions.

“It is a great opportunity for students to see the role that research plays in the lives of faculty and students,” Gal-

braith said. “We also believe that our keynote speakers’ themes have relevance for non-historians.”

The conference will take place Oct. 12 and 13 on GVSU’s Pew Campus. The keynote speeches and panels are open to all GVSU students but

if attending, Galbraith should be notified at galbrig@gvsu. edu to ensure enough seating is available. More information about the conference can be found at www.gvsu.edu/history/history-of-the-great-lakeshistory-conference-44.htm. khaight@lanthorn.com

A DAY TO REMEMBER

One the one-year anniversary of the death of Shane Peoples-Welch, check out these student-sponsored events in his memory

O

ne year. That’s how long it has been.

Some students, faculty or staff at Grand Valley State University may have forgotten, but for the family and friends of Shane Peoples-Welch, his memory is far from gone. Last year, the 21-year-old public administration major died suddenly from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (an enlarged heart) while playing basketball with friends at the on-campus Recreation Center, blind siding the campus community.

The doctor who performed the autopsy said that not only is the condition one of the leading causes of death in athletes but it has no visible symptoms which makes prevention and detection nearly impossible.

We do not boast the ability to even approximate in words the trails of heart that Shane’s loved ones have traversed this past year, but despite how isolated that kind of governing grief can make a person feel, they should know that his memory is not lost to the campus.

QUESTION OF THE ISSUE

On Oct. 18, GVSU’s NAACP Student Chapter in conjuction with the Black Leaders Aspiring for Critical Knowledge, will be putting on events to honor Shane’s memory. First, the NAACP will lead a Heart Walk at 8 a.m. at Rosa Parks Circle, while the Black Leaders Aspiring for Critical Knowledge is putting on a five-on-five basketball tournament the same day from 5-8 p.m.

The money from the tournament will go towards a scholarship fund

that will be set in Shane’s name.

With midterms upon us, it’s easy to bury our heads in our books and let our stressors consume us, but it’s equally as simple to take a few moments to aid in the healing of our peers. A strong support system is cruicial to healing, and students who can participate in these events should try not to think of the time they spend there as adding to the chaos in their own lives, but instead, mending the brokenness in the lives of others.

BY CHRISTINe COLLERAN GVL COLUMNIST

Erotic fiction isn’t exactly new, but the novel “Fifty Shades of Grey” seems to have thrust (pun intended) the salacious genre into the limelight. These days you can hardly go anywhere on campus without hearing girls giggling over the domineering Christian Grey (the male lead in the Fifty Shades series). It’s like Twilight fans on crack.

The Fifty Shades storyline could masquerade as your average fairytale- if Prince Charming was suddenly into bondage, domination and submission.

Sounds twisted? We’re just getting started.

Good ol’ Prince Charming, Christian Grey, is a thir-

ty-something business man with mass amounts of money, plenty of charisma, and sex appeal for days. In contrast, our heroine, the virginal, fresh-faced Anastasia Steele, is just out of college. She’s super shy and extremely awkward, so naturally Grey becomes entirely infatuated with her. Okay, so realism isn’t the novel’s strong point... (if only my awkwardness left men in a state of total admiration instead of utter confusion).

Yet I digress. I am a sucker for a love story, so with much encouragement from friends I decided it was time to give Fifty Shades a go. How did I like it? Let’s just say I haven’t been this disappointed since they discontinued crispy M&Ms in ‘05.

Problem number one: the book is plotless. There is virtually no climax (well, of the literary sense), and the entire story is spent in “should I or shouldn’t I?”

musings made by Anastasia Steele in regards to Grey’s need for sexual domination. By the end of the book I felt like slapping her, but I remembered Grey had done that already- which leads to the next issue.

Problem number two: Fifty Shades is chockfull of abuse scenarios. It is disturbing that a book filled with acts of domestic violence has been accepted into pop culture and, subsequently, our society as a whole. Why are we going to let people (especially younger boys and girls) think that this type of behavior is normal?

Problem number three: poor writing. Nobody’s perfect, that’s why there are editors. Apparently these ones got a little distracted. Can’t say I blame them, the graphic scenes were almost enough to keep me from noticing the missing words. Almost.

Problem number four:

nearly every other paragraph ended with the eloquent phrase “holy s***.” Okay, I am exaggerating. It was like every fourth paragraph, and sometimes it was “holy crap” or “holy (other unmentionable words).”

I mean, if you want to read a book that could have been written in magic marker by a twelve year old (aside from the whole domination and submission stuff) then “Fifty Shades of Grey” is for you. It’s not the erotica that makes it awful- it’s everything else.

Honestly, at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if simply looking at the cover killed brain cells.

I know I referenced the book as “Fifty Shades of Garbage,” but the best thing that you can do for society and the environment is toss this book in the recycling bin. ccolleran @lanthorn.com

Let’s Talk About Safe Sex Communications professor explores sex, ethics and communications in new book BY jessica smith Guest contributor

As a professor of communication studies in the School of Communications at Grand Valley State University, Valerie Peterson believed she could write about sex education in a way that would be both readable and relevant to young people, and she did last spring with the release of her published book, “Sex, Ethics, and Communication.”

Although there are plenty of sex-education books already available for a younger audience, Cognella Academic Publishing appreciates that Peterson’s work brought a fresh and meaningful voice to the on-going and important conversation of sex.

“There was a need for a thoughtful consideration of sexuality and sexual communication,” said Kevin Fahey, marketing manager at Cognella. “Her text succeeds in developing an open dialog among young adults who want to consider the ethics of sex and sex-relevant communication. It encourages readers to reflect on aspects of sex that they may not have otherwise considered.”

The target audience of Peterson’s book is people who are early on in their intimate futures. It was written for readers who are starting their sexual lives or considering it, which can range from high school to college,

Sex Education: GVSU professor Valerie Peterson poses with her book, in which she aimed to talk about sex in a readable way.

to post-college ages.

Instead of telling readers what they should or should not do in the complicated world of sexual activity, Peterson instead focuses on providing thoughtful information that can help them make their own decisions.

“It’s designed more for young people who have a say in whether or not they have sex,” Peterson said. “It helps young people who are in a position to make some decisions about what they do and don’t do,” Peterson said. “There’s a lot of talk

about sex in this culture, but not a lot of talk about responsible sex that still is cheerful. There’s a lot of discussion about danger and disease, and a lot of this stuff is so disturbing and so depressing that young people just choose to tune it out instead of being serious about the consequences.”

Cassandra Arends, a health teacher at Comstock Park High School, said she thinks far too often high school-aged students are acting first and reflecting later, if at all. She said “Sex,

Ethics, and Communication” asks readers to answer questions such as, “Do you like your partner?” or “Do you know anything about your partner?”

“If students really took the time to consider these questions they may be shocked at how little they know about the person with whom they are in a physical relationship,” Arends said.

“I also feel that students do not view sex as a ‘big deal.’”

Arends believes that health courses and books like this one might actually be able to reach students, and show them that they “don’t know everything” there is to know about sex. She said health classes preaching the dangers of STI’s or pregnancy risks aren’t enough to make young adults think responsibly about their sexual lives or scare them away from “doing it” without thoughtful consideration.

The book discusses the maturity of college-age students, arguing that although many students mature as they progress through college, some still have a poor sense of responsibility towards sex, and view it more as a random act of pleasure instead of a ritual of love, or at least an act that involves care. Since partying and drinking are elements within the college atmosphere, students use “liquid courage” to facilitate sexual activity, and later as an excuse for their sexual behavior.

“They go to parties and get really chemically al-

tered, drunk especially, partly as a way to say, ‘Hey, it’s not my fault, the drugs made me do it.’ I don’t want to have to think about this because it’s too complicated or too scary, or naughty, or dirty,’” Peterson said. “A lot of young people choose to make excuses for sex instead of looking at it with open eyes and honesty.”

Although “sex” is in the title, the book takes a humanities approach to the subject, focusing on the human decency that should accompany sexual activity.

The text calls the reader to be a loving person while trying to figure out they want or need within a relationship, even casual relationships.

This, Peterson said, requires that people be honest with themselves.

Peterson acknowledges that some people find sex

to be a bonding experience, and that good sex humanizes what is otherwise simply an animal activity, and makes it more than that.

She uses fast food verses a home-cooked meal as an analogy to describe the difference between meaningless and meaningful sex.

“I think some people are very good at just living in the fast food lane and not sitting down to a meal, and anyone who’s sat down to a meal a friend knows what a rich experience it is,” Peterson said. “You could have drive-thru sex or you could have a sit-down meal. It’s important to remember that sex can be a ritual and artistic. It’s a real bonding experience between people, and that can be a good thing in their relationship.” editorial@lanthorn.com

about sex in this culture, but not a lot of talk about responsible sex that still is cheerful.”

Hartigan picked as GLIAC Athlete of the Week Following a weekend that saw her suffer one of the more bizzare disqualifications of the season, Grand Valley State University women’s golfer Kelly Hartigan rebounded in a big way and was named the GLIAC Women’s Golf Athlete of the Week.

Hartigan shrugged off her rough weekend and found a way to win the individual medal at the Bing Beall Classic in Findlay, Ohio. Hartigan finished with a first-round 73 (+2) before carding a final round 72 (E), which gave her a one-over 145 and her second medalist honor of the season.

Hartigan won the event by a whopping six strokes.

Her and the golf team are now off until the second half of the season kicks off in February.

att Mitchell isn’t happy with the Grand Valley State University defense.

He said they’ve allowed too many big plays, too many yards rushing — he said they’ve put too much pressure on its offense, culminating in a 40-23 home loss to Ferris State University on Saturday.

Couple that with a consensus that they just aren’t playing to the level they need to, and you’ve got a head coach on a mission to try to correct those mistakes as his team hits the road to take on Northern Michigan University (1-5, 0-5 GLIAC) on Saturday.

“It starts with our defense, we can’t sit here and keep giving up as many

points as we’re giving up and expect to win ball games,” Mitchell said.

“We’ve got to have some energy, get back to work here … and go to work and head up (to Northern Michigan).”

Luckily for GVSU (5-1, 4-1 GLIAC), they’ll be greeted by an offense that is scoring just 12.8 points per game and has struggled with turnovers throughout the season.

After completing just 11-for-24 for 63 yards and an interception last week, Northern Michigan also made a change at quarterback, benching freshman Ryan Morely in favor of senior Cody Scepaniak.

It’s unclear whether the move was made due of injury or lack of production, but the threat of a second quarterback, one willing to scramble, will be

of notice for Mitchell and the GVSU defense.

But that plan starts with slowing down senior tailback Prince Young.

“I’m sure that they’re going to try to establish the run with a new signal caller in the backfield, and we’ve got to do a better job, obviously, of getting that shut down,” Mitchell said.

“We’ve got to do a good job on first and second down of not letting Prince Young beat us and move the sticks.

From what I’ve seen on tape, they’ve been committed to try to establish a run and protect their quarterback.”

For as well as the Lakers’ offense has played this season, last week’s 4023 loss to Ferris State was one of the first times they were truly contained.

Part of that was the lack of production from sophomore quarterback Isiah Grimes, who struggled with accuracy throughout the contest.

“Our team put him in a very difficult situation late in the third and in the fourth where, in effect, we’re down two scores and you’ve got to drop back and throw it every time,” Mitchell said. “Quarterbacks get too much of the blame and too much of the credit, we’ve got to do a better job as a team of not putting him into those situations where they’re pinning their ears back and coming after him.”

Luckily for Grimes and the

SCORING STRUGGLES NORTHERN MICHIGAN comes into Saturday’s game scoring a GLIAC-worst 12.8 points per game and have yet to reach 20 points in a game this season.

GVSU offense, Northern Michigan’s young secondary is one that has been susceptible to big plays in the passing game this season.

The unit has allowed 302 yards per game through the air against Division II opponents, including three games where opposing quarterbacks threw three or “We’ve got to go out there and do our thing, do what we do best,” said senior offensive guard Tim Lelito.

“Establish the run like we have in the past and stop the run, whatever, just forget last week and go on and try to get this next win versus Northern.”

GVSU had some success running with sophomore Mike Ratay and freshman Kirk Spencer combining for 149 yards and a touchdown.

Even with the struggles of their quarterback, and the entire offense, senior receiver Israel Woolfork’s focus is on what’s to come.

“We’ve got to start looking forward toward Northern Michigan — it’s kind of just a make it or break it time,” Woolfork said. “We have one loss. The whole GLIAC, everyone else, has one loss and if we continue to win each game then we still have some of the goals and some of the things we want to get accomplished this season still ahead of us.”

The Lakers will take the field in Marquette, Mich. on Saturday at 1 p.m. Fans who don’t make the trek to the Upper Peninsula can catch the game on the radio on ESPN 96.1 FM. sports@lanthorn.com

ISIAH GRIMES QUARTERBACK

Grimes is second in the GLIAC with a passer rating of 164. Going against one of the weakest pass defenses in the GLIAC, he should be able to connect with receiver Charles Johnson more after the duo did just once last week. In two road games this season, Grimes has thrown six touchdowns and just one interception.

JAMIE POTTS TIGHT END

Early in the season, one of GVSU offense’s most glaring holes was the one left after tight ends Tony Carreri and Andrew Lorman graduated. Potts, who also plays baseball, has made a smooth transition. He’s been valuable as a pass-catcher for Grimes.His 25yard run on a fake punt against Ferris State kept the Lakers alive in the second half.

PRINCE YOUNG TAILBACK

The centerpiece of the Northern Michigan offense, Young did not play in last week’s game against MichiganTech.His 93.4 rushing yards per game are good for eighth-best in the GLIAC. Young ran 13 times for 71 yards and a touchdown in last year’s game.

EDDIE KNOBLOCK LINEBACKER The senior is Northern Michigan’s leading tackler with 50 total tackles. He also has wrapped up a team-high 1.5 sacks which is also a team best. Although the Northern Michigan pass defense has struggled, the senior has been a part of a modest run defense that ranks ninth-best in the GLIAC.

Experience: Junior golfer Chris Cunningham, the team’s No. 1 player, is the lone upperclassman.

More than a game

Cunningham finding success as men’s golf leader

BY ZACH SEPANIK GVL STAFF WRITER

C

ollegiately, the game of golf is a team sport. Beyond the friendly confines of a university team setting, however, the game becomes more centralized on individuality. From high school state finals, to GLIAC Freshman of the Year, to turning pro, Grand Valley State University junior Chris Cunningham has exemplified the process of improvement and what it takes to make it at each level.

“It is not an accident that good golfers are good golfers,” said GVSU head coach Don Underwood. “He definitely works hard and prepares and takes it serious.

He wants to do well and he wants to win.”

In 2006, as a freshman at Milford High School, Cunningham established himself as the No. 5 golfer — behind four seniors. The upperclassmen took him under their wing and had a positive effect on the beginning stages of his golf career. Tying for second as a team at the Division I state tournament didn’t hurt, either.

“It was then I decided I wanted to play college golf,” Cunningham said.

A few months later, he promptly began to play on the junior circuit, where he learned there was more to the game than reading putts and hitting the ball straight off the tee. There was sacrifice.

“Over the summer, since probably my sophomore year of high school, I have taken golf very seriously,” Cunningham said. “I’ve played in a lot of tourna-

ments over the summers and practice several times a week, missed out on social events and taking trips with friends. Not that I regret it by any means. It’s all about your priorities. Taking a day off and going to the beach, that’s not what you can do.”

Throughout his play and travel on the circuit, Cunningham consistently found himself at one of the biggest events, the Trusted Choice Big I Junior Championship.

A tough tournament to qualify for, he played in it three straight years.

The early experience is something GVSU teammate, sophomore Jack Rider, says has really contributed to Cunningham’s development as a leader and scorer.

“He is really a unique teammate in the sense that he came on this team with a lot of experience and the capability of playing a lot of good golf,” Rider said. “He came ready to play at a university which it is real seldom to see somebody come right in and succeed. Having him on the team, especially as an upperclassman, helps a lot.”

Calling GVSU home, Cunningham quickly made his name known to all golfers in the GLIAC by capturing the 2010-2011 GLIAC Freshman of the Year.

“The mental aspects and how to play the game and approach it, that was a piece he picked up fairly quickly,” said Chris’ father, Rick Cunningham. “We are proud of what he has accomplished and we still think he has more.”

His strong play, especially as the No. 1 golfer for GVSU this season, as well

as his growing passion for the game, has Cunningham thinking about golf as a career.

“I know my game better than anybody else,” Cunningham said. “The first thing I look at is I have to get a lot better. Maybe getting sponsored at some point after college would be beneficial. I haven’t thought too much about it, I just know that I want to play golf after college.”

Besides experience, the competitiveness Cunningham shows is what sets him apart from pretty much everybody, and what Rider believes will help him be successful now and down the road.

“He can get along alone on competitiveness,” Rider said. “If there is one kid at the school who really has the drive and determination to do it, it is probably him.

He is real talented. He does have the potential to pursue that career after school in golf. I wouldn’t doubt one bit to see him succeed at that level.”

From working his way to the No. 1 golfer on his high school squad, to earning his spot as the top performer for the Lakers, Cunningham has the framework and potential to make that dream come true.

“You don’t get drafted; you don’t get pigeon-holed as the protégé,” Underwood said. “It’s you doing the deal. It goes back to the time that is required to get good at the game. That time is his willingness to get up in the morning and to go to the course in the evening and to put his energy into the preparation.” zsepanik@lanthorn.com

ONE person

After six seasons with Cory Whitaker as head coach, the Grand Valley State University women’s ice hockey team will be led by two former assistant coaches, now head coaches.

The coaches, Darrell Gregorio and Sean McKernan, have been with GVSU throughout Whitaker’s tenure, and both coaches played for the men’s club ice hockey team between 1999-2002 — but their hockey relationship goes even farther back to high school.

“Darrell and I have been together for such a long time, it makes this new job a lot easier because we are both on the same page,” Mckernan said.

Having served under coach Whitaker, both coaches feel comfortable leading the team onward after the departure of the founder of women’s hockey at GVSU. “We have the same ideas (as Whitaker) and strategies as far as how we want the game to be played,” Gregorio said. “But of course it’ll be a little different just because we’ll be giving out orders a little differently.”

With a 3-0 start and wins against Central Michigan University (16-0) and the University of Michigan (5-4), the Lakers haven’t seemed to miss a beat.

“They’ve been really good so far this year,” McKernan said. “It wasn’t ideal to give up a 4-1 lead at Michigan, but we came out with a win.”

The Lakers use a system

GREGORIO

MCKERNAN

that is modeled after the NHL’s Detroit Red Wings and the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins.

“We run a very skilled system that we have taken from the pro game,” Gregorio said. “Our thinking being if it works at the highest level of sport then it will probably work on our level, too.”

Women’s ice hockey is a pay-to-play sport, and the women that make up the team must pay the $1,500 fee that covers travel, ice time and other costs. It also is a club sport, which can really affect practice times, making the job of the coaches difficult as well as the players.

“We have limited practice time and it’s usually at a pretty late time,” McKernan said.

Senior goaltender Michelle Wyniemko is excited about the coaching change and thankful to have Gregorio and McKernan still on board with the team.

“I’ve been with them since freshman year because they were my assistant coaches,” Wyniemko said. “They know my strong points and weaknesses.”

Growing up outside of Hockeytown, Wyni-

emko started playing on an outdoor rink her Dad would build each year. She wanted to take after her hockey-playing brother. At 10 years old, she began her career as a hockey player.

“My first year I played the center position,” Wyniemko said. “After that first season I moved to goalie.”

Wyniemko believes that the team is on its way to great things this year.

“The team is capable of ranking highly and making it very far this season,” Wyniemko said. “It’s my final year, so I am going to do everything possible to that final game in the playoffs and then compete in Nationals.”

Gregorio thinks that’s the hardest thing about coaching; getting the girls to realize this is their last shot at sports.

“This is like their final hurrah,” he said. “There’s nothing beyond this for them, so getting them to realize that they need to leave everything out on the ice is super important.”

GVSU takes on rival Robert Morris on Friday at 6 p.m. at the Georgtown Ice Arena. sports@lanthorn.com

Men’s hockey starts strong

BY EVAN MCMILLIN GVL STAFF WRITER

The Grand Valley State University Division II men’s club hockey team has started the season on a roll. After starting the season with four-straight wins, the team tied their previous game against Siena College, bringing their overall record to 4-0-1.

The final score may have ended in a tie, but the Lakers dominated the net, outshooting Siena College, 64-11.

Despite the vast difference in shots on net, the Lakers failed to capitalize on those opportunities, a problem that head coach Mike Forbes pointed out.

“We just couldn’t solve the riddle of the goaltender,” he said. “We’re a work in progress and our main goal is to strive to get better.”

The Lakers head into their next game looking to continue their hot streak on the road against Ohio State University. The Buckeyes represent a league game, and while the team doesn’t fully know what to expect, they are ready to hit the road.

“Honestly, I don’t know much about

Ohio State. So far, every team we have played has given us their best game, and I don’t expect anything different,” said senior goalie Scott Tiefenthal. “Playing in Columbus should be a big incentive for (Ohio State) to play well.”

While the Lakers have only played one game at home this season, the road game at Ohio State will mark the end of the fourgame set away from Allendale.

After a pair of extended runs in the ACHA National Tournament, the team has its eyes on the postseason.

“Well, we always have the goal of making it to the national tournament for sure,” said sophomore forward Jacob Endicott.

“That has always been a top priority for our team. But our ultimate goal is to win the national championship. I mean, what team doesn’t have that goal?”

As the Lakers continue their season, they look to build on what has already been laid out for them and continue their path to nationals. GVSU will take the ice next Friday at Ohio State before coming back to host the Buckeyes on Saturday. mcmilline@lanthorn.com

On the REBOUND

Hartigan dominates and GV rebounds to finish in second

BY BRYCE DEROUIN GVL STAFF WRITER

It would have been understandable if sophomore Kelly Hartigan was still upset over her recent disqualification and let it affect her play. But that was not the case as Hartigan dominated the field on her way to winning the Bing-Beall Classic.

Hartigan shot a first round 73 (+1) and then followed that up with a second round even-par 72, which were the two best individual rounds of the tournament.

Her 145 (+1) total was six strokes better than second place.

“I played really well this weekend,” Hartigan said. “I hit the ball well and had a low number. It was a little disappointing last weekend, so I knew I wanted to make up some ground this weekend and fortunately came out with a win and played really well.”

Hartigan was disqualified after she went to tap-in a putt with her bent putter. Out of frustration she kicked her putter after a missed shot, which caused it to bend.

“It was a great rebound from Kelly, coming off a disqualification that upset her,” said head coach Rebecca Mailloux. “That was a great rebound from her to come back and win the tournament and play great.”

The entire Grand Valley State University women’s golf team rebounded well after a disappointing sixth place finish at the Gilda’s Laker Club Laker Fall Invite. GVSU trailed by seven strokes going into the final round after a first round 312 and nearly erased the deficit by shooting a 306 in the second round. But that wasn’t enough as Ferris State University ousted the Lakers

by one stroke, finishing the tournament with a team score of 617 and winning the tournament.

“It was a good note to end the fall season on for sure,” Mailloux said. “It was a good all-around team performance. That final round was our low round of the fall. It was definitely a good way to end the season.”

The Bing-Beall Classic was the last meet of the fall season for the GVSU women’s golf team. It was an up-and-down season for the Lakers with senior Ashley Beard, who underwent wrist surgery in the summer, unavailable to play.

“It was definitely a struggle of a fall season with having our senior Ashley out,” Mailloux said. “It was kind of an interesting fall semester. It had its ups and downs.

Overall I thought it was good for the team to have a little bit of a struggle. We’re used to going out and dominating and winning a lot of tournaments we play in. I think it was good for them to kind of have to fight for those wins this fall.”

The Lakers will head into the off-season with confidence and momentum.

For GVSU, recording their best score of the year on the last day has the Lakers already looking forward to the spring season.

“Playing at Findlay is a pretty tough course, and playing it as well as we did and getting second, all of us left that tournament with a good feeling,” said senior Marni Weinstein, who finished in fourth place and shot a 154 (+10). “We’re just really excited and we know what we have to work on in the offseason to be as good as we can in the spring.”

Riverboat Gambler: The Grand Valley State University club rowing team trains over their spring training trip in Florida this last year.

FULL STEAM AHEAD GV club rowing team competes in East Lansing, gets ready for Boston

BY TATE BAKER GVL STAFF WRITER

T

he Grand Valley State University rowing club is off and rolling, coming off an impressive showing at the Head of the Grand Regatta in East Lansing, Mich. last weekend.

“It’s a great time for the freshman to gain some experience,” said senior Jess Vogl. “This was their first real shot at competing for the program.”

The Lakers won the men’s varsity race with a time of 10 minutes, 32 seconds. Close behind was Michigan State University with a time of 10:39. The Lakers B and C teams also took 3rd and 4th

place, respectively.

“Our novice teams got out to a good start this race,” said senior Jordan Hart. “It was also a good warm up for our varsity teams we are getting ready for the Head of the Charles.”

While the Head of the Grand Regatta is used as more of a benchmark to see where their teams are standing during the fall season, the Head of the Charles later this month in Boston will be the marque event for the Lakers.

“The Boston Marathon is to running, what the Head of the Charles is to rowing,” said head coach John Bancheri. “Think of it as a huge festival with all the best teams in it, it’s really unlike anything else.”

The Head of the Charles will consist of a number of Ivy League schools, and teams with great tradition in each of their respective rowing programs.

“More teams get turned away from competing in the Charles than teams who actually compete in it,” Bancheri said. “This race will ultimately be the benchmark for the fall as we will later on be preparing for the spring.”

The Lakers will look to gain momentum and confidence in Boston before heading into the winter. A good performance at the Head of the Charles is key to success in the spring, something the Lakers are well accustomed with.

“We have a long line of

tradition within our program,” Vogl said. “Our number one goal going into the spring is to win our 6th consecutive ACRA championship.”

The Lakers success according to coach Bancheri is credited to a strong group of upperclassmen and also a hard working group of underclassmen.

“Having such a strong core group of seniors pulling the team at the top along with a group of young talent really makes the program,” Bancheri said.

The Lakers will head to Boston to compete in their biggest event of the fall, the Head of the Charles on Oct. 19. tbaker@lanthorn.com

The festival, which initially launched in Muskegon in 2006 before moving to Wealthy Theatre the following year, was the brainchild of Grand Valley State University alumni Anthony Griffin and Chris Randall.

KEEPING IT CLASSIC “(Chris) and I were talking on the phone – I think it was in March or April of 2006 – and we were lamenting the state of film, if you will, in Michigan,” said Griffin, who along with Randall,

wanted to create something that showcased more genre-oriented, underground films that were hard to see on any commercial big screen.

“The idea was to have a film festival that would celebrate the story of genre films – including the genres of action, sci-fi, suspense and horror – because those films a lot of times get dismissed as being the B-movie,” Griffin said. “But, a lot of times, there’s a lot of great adventure in them, the old mythos of Greek and Roman times.”

In the genres of sci-fi, action, suspense, horror and a few western films, this year’s lineup welcomes filmmakers both old and new, with highlights including 2011 Best Chill! Award winner, production company Gotta/Enk, with a short film called “Anniversary Dinner,” which has already been nominated for six Maverick Movie Awards, an organization of filmmakers honoring other filmmakers.

“The best films in Michigan right now are being made in West Michigan, and we have three of the top filmmakers to watch,”

Clemens said, referencing work from festival veterans like Ryan Lieske with a new short film titled “Abed,” 2010 Boomstick Award! Winner Dan Falicki with “Relief Keeper” and Scott Baisden’s home invasion thriller “Low End.” “We play the world’s most popular genres for an audience starving for cinema who may not know - or have ever seen - a movie that wasn’t made to fit a demographic model; a movie made of love for the art form over commerce,” Griffin said.

The bulk of the films screened at T!C! are true independents, but for fans of the Hollywood cult classics, the festival’s 2012 titles include “Terminator 2” and “Night of the Living Dead.”

THE SILVER SCREEN Griffin called T!C! “Halloween for grown-ups,” referring to the frantic feeling of being a kid and going door-to-door, or in this case film-to-film. He said it’s not just the independent nature of the films that make it that way, either,

but the feeling that goes along with going to the movies – a phenomena totally unique to the big screen.

“There’s something really different about watching (movies) in a dark theater with a crowd as opposed to sitting out home – even if it’s dark and you have a great Hi-Def television, there’s a difference,” he said. “You can really feel it.”

It’s that “sitting around the campfire” feeling that Griffin said he and festival organizers have tried to get close to.

“We love that about this film festival. It makes that come alive for people when they watch it.

Whether there’s one other person in the theater or 100,” Griffin said.

“We hope hundreds.”

Though the festival is still working to gain public recognition, it’s made enormous strides since its creation, and Shirley Clemens, Griffin’s wife and T!C!’s marketing director, said the festival has seen a 15-20 percent growth in its audience base over the past few years.

“We always hope for a larger core audience, but we have to build that one person at a time,” Griffin said. “We want people to be there who love movies and love adventure. We hope that more people can come and experience that this year than ever before.”

This year, T!C! added a blog to its website, which features interviews from filmmakers that offer

a little more perspective on the films the festival will screen, in hopes that it will help build momentum throughout the year, and not just in the few months prior.

All access festival passes, which will get you into any film, any event, any time throughout the three-day festival, are available to the general public for $40 ($35 for Grand Rapids Community Media Center and West Michigan Film Video Alliance members) and can only be purchased online at www.thrillerchiller. com. Day passes are $15 general admission and $10 for members, and individual movie and movie event tickets are $8 flat; both will be available for purchase during the festival at the box office.

LOCAL LOVE Griffin said he hopes Thriller!

Chiller! stays in Grand Rapids, and builds its reputation as a festival that brings credibility and recognition to genre movies.

“I feel like we’ve reached a point in our culture where we can both appreciate and admire those kinds of things – the beer bongs, not just the wine glasses – and say man, they all work, they’re a vessel and they carry something,” Griffin said. “Some people prefer wine and some people prefer beer, but we can appreciate that.” editorial@lanthorn.com

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GENRE GVSU alum, film festival director mixes business with pleasure

BY ANYA ZENTMEYER GVL EDITOR IN CHIEF

Every morning, Grand Valley State University alumnus Anthony Griffin has a shower thought – what he describes an “over-arching theme” that he just can’t get out of his head.

Lately, he’s been thinking about towing the line between business and art, which makes sense for someone who, while maintaining a day job, started his own production company, and then his own film festival.

“This is what it comes down to: there’s no shortcut for hard work,” Griffin said.

“If you’re willing to put in the work over a sustained period of time, you’ll find success.”

Griffin and fellow GVSU alumnus Chris Randall cofounded the local film festival Thriller! Chiller! – a sideline to his production company, UnSAFE Film Offices, and his day job as an IT manager at a Grand Rapids financial company.

“Strangely enough, we didn’t get into (Thriller!

Chiller!) to make money – that’s not our primary goal,” said Griffin, who, along with other festival faithfuls, had to pay out of pocket to make the first year of the festival a reality.

At first, Griffin and his team struggled with publicizing the festival, but now Thriller! Chiller! is in its seventh year, has seen a 15-20 percent growth in its core audience in the past few years, and has received submissions from filmmakers all over the world. This year’s lineup includes 62 movies from 17 countries; including 10 Michigan-made movies, and two Hollywood cult classics.

Thriller! Chiller! organizers look at the festival as a marketing platform – a way to get those indie, underground genre films out to a larger audience. Griffin wants the film festival to not only grow in its scope, but in it’s reputation and mission of bringing credibility and recognition to genre movies.

“Several times in the past when Tony has talked about the festival as a passion project, people have misinterpreted that to mean that he and Chris aren’t business-savvy,

but that’s not true at all,” said Shirley Clemens, Griffin’s wife and Thriller! Chiller!’s marketing director. “They have turned a hobby into a legitimate business, they just choose to do it because they love it.”

Griffin calls that fine line between art and business the “vein of gold,” a necessary series of compromises, which make your passions sustainable enough to pursue.

But through trial and error, he has.

“As a filmmaker, if all I’ve ever done is challenge myself to become a better person from it, great,” he said. “But if I can create opportunity, and or even pay them something because I have the ability to do that from my day job, I will…There’s a way to do that. It’s so thin, and it’s so narrow that you can skip right over it without even realizing. It takes experience and it takes time and it takes mistakes – hundreds of mistakes – to figure out where that line is as a person.”

Personal accountability is key for Griffin, who thinks it’s important to be a good example – even if it’s just as “a horrible warning.” Being accountable, he said, is a greater vehicle for self-improvement

and fulfillment than just simply being the best.

“What’s real is what you have inside yourself,” he said.

“Don’t waste your energy trying to compete with others, just compete with yourself and you will find wells and reserves of passion and talent you never thought was possible because you’re trying to be better than what you were yesterday. You’re going to fail more often than not, but when you do succeed, it’s pure joy.”

He wants to keep Thriller!

Chiller! local, whether it lasts for one, or 10 more years, he hopes it becomes a focal point of West Michigan that lives up to its regions reputation. Griffin, alongside his wife and the rest of the Thriller! Chiller! followers and faithfuls, have built something sustainable for not only themselves, but also for their community.

“That would be the takeaway here because a lot of people I’ve noticed – particularly younger people – will get into something, or perhaps not consider something

if they can’t figure out a way to make money from it,” he said. “And really, if you’re passionate about it and you enjoy doing it, that will carry you between the moments where you clearly are not going to make any money or even recognition. You do it because you love it. If you do what you love, and you’re fortunate to find those who will help you along the way, you can create a business from it – and that is something that we have done.” editorial@lanthorn.com

Art Gallery partnership showcases student jewelry

BY MATT OBersKI GVL STAFF WRITER

Grand Valley State University students, faculty and community members will have a chance to listen to the first public performance of the Symphonic Wind Ensemble, conducted by GVSU’s director of University Bands, Barry Martin on Oct. 14.

Martin has been teaching and conducting at GVSU since 1994, after completing his master’s degree at the University of Illinois and serving as the assistant director of Bands and the director of Athletic Band at the University of Akron.

He now oversees GVSU’s entire band program.

When Martin first came to GVSU, the band program only had one director and just more than 100 students in the program.

Now, Martin said the band program has nearly 500 students and four conductors.

“We work well together,” Martin said. “It’s certainly the way we want to do things.”

Martin said the Symphonic Wind Ensemble has some of the best wind band musicians on campus because they’re focused and hardworking. He strives to push the ensemble to play their best and stay diligent with their work.

manding, but a good ensemble,” said Richard Grooters, a percussionist in the ensemble.

“It’s the most talented one I’ve ever been a part of.”

Even with the new group of students that joined the ensemble, Martin isn’t worried about a poor show.

“They’re right on track,” Martin said. “I think it’s going to be a great performance, it’s something a lot of people are going to want to hear. It’s a very fine group.”

Ashley Stanley, flutist for the Symphonic Wind Ensemble, said she’s excited

for their first performance.

Despite the difficulty of the music, Stanley said “there’s definitely a ‘team effort’ attitude about this ensemble that will definitely show in the concert.”

The Symphonic Wind Ensemble concert starts 3 p.m. in the Louis Armstrong Theatre, located in the Performing Arts Center on GVSU’s Allendale Campus. The event is free and open to the public.

Going a cappella: GVSU’s choir rehearses different arrangements for their Oct. 14 performance.

Chorale ensembles join together for performance

BY SHELBY PENDOWSKI GVL STAFF WRITER

On Oct. 14, four of Grand Valley State University’s choral ensembles will come together for a performance at the Allendale Campus’ Louis Armstrong Theater, located in the Performing Arts Center.

The performance will be made up of women from The Select Women’s Ensemble, men and women from The Cantate Chamber Ensemble and the University Singers, and women from the Women’s Chamber Ensemble.

Conductor Ellen Poole said they are performing arrangements of “Shenandoah,” “Over the Rainbow,” a Billy Joel piece and “Send in the Clowns” from the musical “A Little Night Music.”

“A lot goes into preparing a concert,” said Erik Childers, a soloist in the performance.

“Our conductor, Professor Pool, must first select the right repertoire that will fit the voices of the current chamber ensemble. All of our music is memorized, so voice checks on each piece are given about two weeks before the performance to ensure all members have their part memorized accurately.”

Rehearsals have been tedious for the past few weeks, running through the entire show to make sure everything will run smoothly, Childers said.

“We are still working on moving phrases together and knowing when to look at each other for cues and polishing a few parts in each piece,” Childers said.

For this concert, unlike

past performances, Poole will not be on stage with the choirs.

“When we are performing, we are all so tightly connected that if even one person is not tuned in with the rest of the ensemble it can end up in disaster,” Childers said. “This group is very tight-knit, so we can use our eye contact to speak to one another throughout the performance.”

Poole said the variety of music should entertain a diverse audience, especially since the ensembles will be performing a cappella, or without instruments.

“I always think it’s a great opportunity to attend a choral concert and enjoy what our wonderful music program has to offer,” Childers said. “Our ensemble has been working very hard to prepare this concert and it will be a spectacular concert.”

The concert features many soloists, including Childers, Kortnee Brooks, Adrielle Eberly, Caitlin Cusack, Sara Fortino and Haley Hildebrandt. It showcases the voices at GVSU, ending with a group, not directed by Poole.

“The University Singers, a 30-voice group of men and women, conducted by professor Jim Metzler will conclude the concert singing three pieces,” Poole said.

The concert begins at 8 p.m. and is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Performing Arts Center at (616) 3313484. spendowski@lanthorn.com

back-and-forth relationship between the Hiko Mizuno College of Jewelry in Tokyo and Grand Valley State University associate professor of art and design Renee ZettleSterling has led to a new art gallery exhibit showcasing unique jewelry by Japanese students.

As part of the Fall Arts Celebration, the “Forged in Metal: Deshi/Shisyou Mentee/Mentor” show opened Oct. 4 in the GVSU Art Gallery on the Allendale Campus, and showcases the jewelry of metalworking students from the Hiko Mizuno College in Japan.

The relationship started in 2007 when Zettle-Sterling and Jim Bové, associate professor of fine art at California University of Pennsylvania, visited Japan to present their work, lecture and give workshops, while also learning from the professors at the college. Together they are co-curating the exhibit.

“Jim brought some Japanese jewelry and metalsmithing work to the United States, so it’s kind of been back and forth,” Zettle-Sterling said.

While in Japan, ZettleSterling and Bové learned a lot about jewelry making from a different point of view – from a Japanese teacher and his students.

“They showed us so many wonderful techniques,” Zettle-Sterling said. “We really forged a really great relationship with this school, and it’s a pretty rare school. It’s been really rewarding, I think, for everyone involved.”

One of the Japanese students, Natsuko Kawabata, traveled to GVSU along with her teacher and mentor Yoshinori Tsukdate to view the exhibit and help with a metalworking workshop.

Translator Yoko SekinoBove is helping Kawabata communicate while she’s at GVSU. Metalworking wasn’t available to Kawabata until

high school, even as an art student.

“I was an art student in high school; however, I had a chance to study metals only in the senior year in high school,” Kawabata said. “I was always interested in learning about the metal from the beginning, but then I only had a chance to learn it at the last year of high school.”

That’s when Kawabata decided to attend the Hiko Mizuno College to learn more about metalworking as a craft and art.

“My thinking process is that I usually pick up small things from my early life and craft them into my sketchbook,” Kawabata said. “Then I decide what to choose and what not to, and I use my own inspiration as a filter to create artwork.”

Zettle-Sterling said the jewelry-making process is time-consuming, and students can’t go into it thinking that it’s easy and will be done quickly.

“It is extremely labor intensive,” Zettle-Sterling said. “You really have to think ahead and plan.”

Even though Kawabata did not start metalsmithing until college, the arts were instilled into her when she was a young child.

“Originally, I was in-

terested in ornamentations and jewelries since I was little and I was always attracted to using beads or other materials to create the jewelry,” Kawabata said.

“Then I learned about the metalsmith’s process. Then I was so attracted to the metalsmith’s process because it provided so much possibility and opportunities.”

Tsukdate has been teaching at the college for 10 years and enjoys seeing her student’s artwork.

“The students are very energetic and motivated,” Tsukdate said. “I get inspired all the time – that’s the biggest reward.”

Zettle-Sterling said that while the school specializes primarily in jewelry making, it also offers courses in handbag, watch and bicycle design.

She said the gallery shouldn’t just be for art students, but has relevance to all students.

“For a lot of students, they don’t get to travel abroad and so this (is) a really good opportunity to have a cultural experience here on campus,” Sterling said.

The gallery runs until Nov. 2 and is free and open to the public. For more information about the exhibit, go to www.gvsu.edu/fallarts. ssabaitis@lanthorn.com
