November election up for grabs Recreational pot, gerrymandering proposal on the Michigan ballot Catherine Engstrom-Hadley
Staff Writer
This Fall, five new programs are being introduced for students at WCC. Cybersecurity, Fine Arts Associate's in Arts, an LPN-toRN program, a sterile processing technician certificate, and two culinary certificates. Kim Hurns, Vice President for instruction, says that cybersecurity has been highly requested from, “A growing threat that increases a deep need for experts in the cybersecurity field”. Cybersecurity experts are used in many different ways, mostly to plan and protect security systems for data, networks and computer systems. Students can pursue a two-year associates or transfer to a university for a bachelor’s. EMU has teamed up with WCC to provide a direct transfer into their information assurance and cyber defense bachelor’s degree program. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job growth outlook is at twenty-eight percent, currently much higher than most fields. A Fine Arts Associate’s in Arts is set up to be the first two years of a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts degree or a Bachelor’s in Art Education. A degree in fine arts offers a wide range of job opportunities, from curating at a museum to art production itself. A culinary certification is now offered in culinary essentials and baking and pastry essentials.

These certifications are smaller and more basic level, but can be used right away in the field and applied to a larger degree in culinary arts. “We are trying to provide certificates that can be used to feed into larger degrees.” said Hurns. The LPN-to-RN program will help nursing students for the National Council Licensure

Examination for Registered Nurses. According to our colleges News and Events, “The Dean of Health Sciences, Dr. Valerie Greaves, said that more than 50 LPNs have expressed an interest in this kind of program and that several community health organizations have stated they will offer financial assistance to their LPNs to complete the program.”. The sterile processing technician certificate will help students who are interested in a career in central processing for hospitals. Hurns informed us that this certificate is in high demand, with pay landing around eighteen dollars

with a union. “We are very proud of this program, it creates many different pathways for student’s careers. The demand for this is growing faster than normal across the country and county.” Students will be educated on proper sterilization of instrumentation, supplies and equipment at hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers and clinics. New “three plus one” articulation agreements were made this summer, where students can take three years at WCC and finish the last year at a university. The new programs created this summer were: nursing with EMU, photography with EMU, graphic design, programing in C++, and programing in JAVA with Madonna University, and multiple agreements with Wesleyan University in Illinois. ” Three plus one programs create opportunities for students to save”, said Hurns. For your average student doing a 3-1 program, the savings come up to around 28 thousand dollars in tuition alone if we compare tuition rates with Eastern University. Programs are always being changed and updated throughout the year, “We are constantly fine tuning all of our programs. Faculty is observing industry trends and working with advisory boards to help make sure we are up to date and updating what needs to be updated.” said Hurns. A focus on creating pathways, stackable degrees and certifications students can use while in college to support themselves is important to advisors and faculty.

to alter election results in the favor of a particular party. Often unfairly affecting minority voters, many claim the practice of gerrymandering is a violation of voting rights. If the proposal passes, an Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission will be established to put an end to gerrymandering. According to the Voters Not Politicians campaign, gerrymandering is a nonpartisan issue: “When politicians choose
their voters, our votes don’t matter and our voices aren’t heard.” The organization has raised over 450,000 signatures to support the cause. To vote in this year’s election, you must be registered to vote by Oct. 9. You can register to vote at any Michigan Secretary of State branch or through WCC’s TurboVote system found via the college’s website.

Late night study spots by
Nicholas Ketchum
Staff Writer
“For night owls shriek where mounting larks should sing,” lamented Richard II in William Shakespeare’s play bearing that same princely namesake. Except in the following scenario you’re the night owl—and hopefully not shrieking, but instead study-eating! Many students (and professionals likewise) feel their best work occurs along the far end of the clock and into the quiet wee morning hours; moments liberated from the pesky human distractions that haunt daylight. Even if the final outcome of habitual late-night study-eating is debated among experts, rest assured you’re in good spiritual company here at WCC. But where can—or should— you make a study spot during these nighttime hours? Here’s a short and incomplete list of a few of our region’s more delectable late-night study spots: Fleetwood Diner A true diner sitting alongside the old Michigan Central Railroad, which has been around for at least 60 years under at least two different names.

Key Ballot Proposals With recreational cannabis on the ballot, Democrats hope for a rise in young voters.
According the most recent EPIC-MRA poll, Overall, 61 percent of Michigan residents are in favor of legalizing recreational use. If the proposal becomes bill, recreational use of cannabis will be permitted throughout the state of Michigan. Regulations will mirror those of alcohol, requiring users to be 21 or older. The ballot will also include a proposal to ban gerrymandering, a political tactic used to manipulate district boundaries in hopes
TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTERS (MILLIONS)
Michigan voters came out and shattered voting records in August for this year’s primary election. Over 2.2 million citizens hit the polls, compared to 1.4 million in the 2016 primary. Washtenaw County came in with 97,000 votes, up from nearly 48,000 in 2016. Even with such an influx of voters, only 34 percent of Michigan voters made to this polls this primary. With political tensions high, Democrats came in with 52 percent of the general vote. Some point to the Democratic “Blue Wave” for the sudden rush of voters. Even so, Republicans showed out in force, with over 48 percent of the general vote. This November’s election across the country could change our entire political climate. Democrats have an opportunity to regain majority of the House of Representatives. This could prove problematic for the current Republican legislature in progress.

In Michigan – and in other parts of the country – new candidates have filed to run for office, voters have responded to activists’ messages and voted in greater numbers in primary elections. Here, former Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, spoke at a rally in Ypsilanti on Aug. 5. Sanders appeared on behalf of Abdul El-Sayed, a Democrat who was the runner-up in the Michigan gubernatorial primary. Michigan residents who want to vote in November must register by Oct. 9. WCC’s ‘TurboVote’ system lets students register, get absentee ballots, update voter registration, and send reminders about voting, all via text message or email.

Criminal Justice student aims to better community by
Danny Villalobos
Staff Writer
Alex Grieves is a criminal justice major at WCC. At 19, he talks easily about his ideas and aspirations in the criminal justice field.
Marine Corps. y parents said, “Go to college M and get a degree and then you can enter into the military.” I’ve always had a strong sense of justice. You have to understand one another, that’s why there’s so much violence. Because, I’m primarily from a white-European origin… people from my community sometimes are ignorant to the plight of others, but it can also go the other way around. So, with me in the case with criminal justice, I just want to bring to people’s attention that we’re all human and we all deserve a basic need of compassion. I guess it’s a combination of
things that led me toward justice... everybody deserves equal opportunity. Q: How would you like to engage with members of the community, especially the ones who have a distrust for the police? A: I would, first and foremost, try to be friendly. Try to get to know the people around you because it’s really menacing, you know? I think we can all agree, when you see a police officer drive down the road it is kind of menacing, no matter who you are, you know? I’d rather just be friendly, get to know my community, and just try to be --I’m here to serve. I’ve had teachers at Washtenaw, who have been
sara faraj

Q: Not all students show so much enthusiasm with their studies, but you seem confident in your career plans. Can you talk about that? A: I’m not really what people would picture as a criminal justice student. I was raised to question things and to just be myself, you know? I always thought about things critically. I’m also stubborn as a mule.
It’s one of my biggest flaws and one of my biggest pluses. There’s things I want to do in my whole life and I never want to stop until I complete it. My father is a teacher, that’s where I got my ability to speak and articulate so well. My mother has some health problems and that’s formed me as a person, it’s shown me compassion; treating other people with compassion, try to understand another person’s story. Q: And all of this led you to pursue a career in criminal justice? A: I really didn’t know what I was going to do with my life. I went through a point in my life where I wanted to quit high school and go right into the
Criminal justice major Alex Grieves says his family experience and faith have helped shaped his views of social justice and service.
very helpful in understanding that ethic. To interact with these marginalized people and people who have been hurt by the police, is that I want them to know when I become a cop is that, “hey, I’m here to be here for you. When you have a problem, call us. We’re not here to punish you, we’re not here to terrorize you, we’re here to protect you, and that’s what we’re here for,” Q: How have instructors at WCC they helped you? A: I’ve had teachers who have vast experience, who told me some very interesting ideas, and how to communicate with one another. People, we’re human beings and to understand humanity first; and to do an approach in which not all people who live in crime-ridden areas are bad people (most of them are very good people who are just caught up in a bad situation), and that’s something that really changed my pointof-view, because where I grew up in the media portrays people (both sides of people) being very negative and being just very horrific and it’s just toxic. Q: After you get your degree, you said you wanted to go into the military, what drove you to that goal? A: My family has been in the military for a long time. My dad’s side have been in the British military for generations and my mom’s side has fought in the American [military] for a long time. Military tradition is something that I grew up with. It’s just a part of who I am. Q: You mentioned, the heroin and opiate crisis, what would you would like to see to done solve this? A: The opioid and heroin epidemic is something that is kind of close to home. I haven’t lost
any family or friends, but I have known people who have. It’s very rough to see that, people who are so full of talent and life and who could’ve gone so far, and instead fall. It’s horrible. I would like to see a greater sense that it’s somebody has an issue, whether it is mental, spiritual, physical, or drug related you can go and get help. What I would like to see is communities come together and say “that’s enough.” What I think we need to do more is go after the people in power and work with other countries and say, “hey! these people are exporting drugs into our country and they’re also victimizing your people and our people.” Instead of going after small-time drug dealers and going after people who have drug problems, go after the big people, go after the suppliers. If you remove that, you will see the drug trade evaporate. Q: What’s your ultimate goal ? What do you hope to achieve in life? A: Knowing that I’ve helped people, knowing that I have helped an innocent person, know that I saved somebody from something horrible. I don’t expect anything too crazy out of life, you know? I just want to get married, have a wife and children. That’s all I really want and to be a good person, be a model individual for people. I’m not obsessed with fame or money, I don’t want to be chief of police or the head of the FBI. I just want to help an innocent person and know that I’ve helped a person become a better individual through my service. That’s really it. This interview has been edited and condensed.

TWO WCC STUDENTS PLACE AT NATIONAL WELDING CONTEST IN LOUISVILLE
sara faraj
Staff Writer
Photographer Probably, staying up at night during the week, you know? I get my homework done at night and I just stay up, that’s the worst thing I do. I guess, to try to force myself to try to be honest, “I need to get 7 hours of sleep instead of 5 and because I have a long day, I have school, I have soccer practice, and then I have homework after that”. Try to be honest with myself and just make a better me.
Definitely procrastinating, ‘til the last minute to get my work done. I’m really bad at point out of my head to do something, but I’ll put out ‘til the last day. I’m trying to get rid of distractions like, being away from computers and put my phone down and put it down somewhere else.

WCC STUDENT SELLS ART WORK FOR $11,500 AT CHARITY AUCTION
I think probably, just I need to start doing my homework in school more. I’m here for 4 hours and I don’t do anything and then I’m at home and I don’t want to do it. Then I get done at the last minute. It’s like procrastinating, but that’s an extra detail.
I would say time management I guess, but I’m working on it. It’s gotten better since I started going here.
Nolin Carr, 18 yrs, Business
Emma Kirchhoff 16 yrs, WTMC, Graphic Design
Procrastination, definitely one thing I have to work on. I wouldn’t hold things off, like assignments I just try to get them done as soon as possible and I’d like schedule a few hours everyday to try and work on it.
Procrastinating. Just devoting more time to actually get school work done in smaller amounts.
