Resolution to create veteran orientation passed by student government By Emily DeRuiter Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Veterans could receive their own special orientation to help them transition into the college life after a resolution unanimously passed in the Student Government Association house and senate on Oct. 10. The resolution needs final approval by the Academic Senate and University President George Ross. The resolution to create a veteran’s orientation came after the previous director of the Veteran’s Resource Center tried to get a veteran-only orientation approved. Mio senior Nick Badgero, who wrote the legislation, said he thought having the student body’s support might help. “I’m hoping that going about it this way, with not just our Resource Center backing it up but our student body, would make more of a difference because SGA is a representation of what the university wants,” he said. Veterans attend a transfer student orienta-

tion where they do not receive veteran-specific information. They can go downstairs in the Bovee University Center to meet the Veterans Resource Center at their table for information and resources, but this is also before being asked to meet in the Student Services Court. “In the past we had to rely on the veterans to walk down there to meet us at our veteran table,” Badgero said. “I would argue half do not because the majority of students that were supposed to meet at the Student Services Court that day never showed up.” Hosting a veteran-specific orientation would benefit incoming student veterans by showing them how to receive information like healthcare-education benefits, points of contact on campus and veteran organizations, according to the resolution. SGA Senator Mohammad Khan was part of the Governmental Affairs Committee that put the resolution forward. He said understanding the logistics of getting healthcare and college paid for is something a lot of veterans don’t know. “I was interested in the veteran portion of it because I have family members who are

Students who have experienced or witnessed discrimination at the hands of local law enforcement are encouraged to tell their stories at an open mic event called “Don’t be Silent.” Originally scheduled for Oct. 20, Don’t be Silent will run from 7 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 16 in the Bovee University Center auditorium. The event is co-hosted by Community Action for Black Lives Matter and the Student Government Association.

SGA Diversity Committee Chairman JiAn Lee said the stories are being compiled to lend support for the creation of a citizen’s review board in Mount Pleasant. A citizen’s review board is a group of citizens that review allegations against police officers. Lee said student stories could include, for example, being pulled over and feeling that it was because of their race and not a lawful stop. “(Students) can present

veterans,” said the Shelby Township freshman. “My brother, my cousins and my grandpa — they are all in the military.” Duane Kleinhardt, director of the Veteran’s Resource Center, said the current general orientation also does not cover academic-specific issues veterans might have. “Often our student veterans bring with them transfer credits from other colleges, universities or from their military schools,” Kleinhardt said. “That quickly puts them over the 56 credit hour limit to have their University Program Requirements complete and sign a major.” Western Michigan University and North-

If they do not want to go to the open mic event, stories can be submitted to a drop box in the SGA office within the Student Activity and Involvement Center, downstairs in the UC. - Emily DeRuiter, Staff Reporter

western Community College were among some the schools listed within the resolution as higher learning institutions that already have separate veteran orientations. As someone who spent four years in the Marines, Badgero said this resolution could assist veterans. “I think (the orientation) is necessary,” he said. “Veterans deserve their own orientation because they are a small demographic of people that have given quite a lot to come here. They deserve extra (orientation) time so they don’t slip through the cracks and are prepared to be the best students they can be.”

SAC Pool to be renovated next semester, Rose Pool to close By McKenzie Sanderson Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Students returning to campus this spring semester will have access to a newly updated pool in the Student Activity Center. Renovations made to the pool’s infrastructure will expand its life by 25 years, said Stan Shingles, assistant vice president of University Recreation. “It’s almost like building the pool (again),” he said. “Everything is being gutted except the shell of the facility. Everything else is going to be brand new.” The total cost of the renovations is $2.7 million, said Linda Slater, plant and engineering director. The pool will officially open Jan. 7. “The (SAC pool) will meet current Americans with Disabilities Act and Barrier Free access codes,” she said. “(The renovations) will reduce maintenance cost, minimize future pool closures and provide a fresh new look for users.” Rose Pool was scheduled to close June 30. It will now close when the SAC Pool opens. The

SAC Pool renovation became a priority among other facilities management deferred maintenance projects, Shingles said. Because the Rose Pool was built in the middle of the SAC, renovation and expansion would have been difficult and costly, Shingles said. “The ADA requirement would have been cost-prohibitive,” Shingles said. “It was time, after 40-plus years, to really put our investment into the SAC Pool.”

Civil Discourse Online Forums and comment boards should encourage healthy dialogues devoid of insults, personal attacks As Election Day nears, Central Michigan Life plans to cover the evening’s action with live updates on results and reactions from members of the Central Michigan University community. We also plan to announce our presidential endorsement on Oct. 24. Other publications across the nation and around the globe have done the same. We know that some of our readers will approve of our recommendation, while others will undoubtedly malign our opinion. We believe these opposing reactions and subsequent debates help make American democracy stronger. That sentiment carries over to the comment sections on cm-life.com and on our social media platforms. As student media, we welcome constructive discussions between people with varying ideologies on a vast number of subjects. We strive to be an open forum for a diverse set of voices. What we will not accept, however, are personal attacks targeting our sources and staff members for the stories they share or the content they create. There is no

place in our forums for crude and cruel discourse. We believe that these types of comments are not constructive. They do not offer any measure of substance to readers. In fact, some comments discourage readers from engaging in our discussions. We believe in preserving the dignity of two-way engagement with our audience. Cyber trolling has become an unfortunate pastime for many users on the Internet. We argue that many of these commenters would not be so bold if they were forced to speak face-to-face. Since the advent of online message boards, users have had free reign to interact with each other anonymously. Bringing that open forum to newspaper and magazine websites offered a chance for publications to interact with users in an exciting new field a communication. This mechanism for deeper discussion on important topics quickly turned into safe havens of vitriol and hate spewed against others without the repercussions of embarrassment or public scorn. That’s why many publications like Central

Michigan Life have community comment guidelines to help protect the integrity of their forums. We aim to create a space where people can speak intelligently — and passionately — with each other about the topics they hold dear. Healthy discourse doesn’t have to be pretty, but it has to be more than obscenities, racial slurs and attacks on other commenters. Controversial views and stances can and be should explored on our website and social media feeds like Facebook and Twitter. What we will not accept are comment streams that devolve into racist and sexist insults and misinformation. We believe in and support readers’ rights to fundamentally disagree with our staff. There is a huge difference between discourse and derision, and these kinds of comments represent the latter. Discourse is an exchange of ideas, no matter how heated. Derision is making a singular decision to hurl insults. To summarize: if you wouldn’t want someone saying it to you, don’t say it to someone else. That’s not being weak or politically correct. It’s an effort to keep the conversation honest — and out of the hands of trolls trying to derail that discourse. Some of these kinds of comments come from people with different alma maters without any ties to the university. They are often 60-year-old white males with nothing better to do with their time

than to troll social media for their next target. Do not attacks our sources, staff or other members of the CMU community that we report on. Do not copy spam from another comment board. We reserve the right to ban users for the repeated use of vulgar language or continued personal attacks. Most of all, we will not delete your comments, or ban you, for disagreeing with content. Refutations of fact and the value of stories to our audience are fine. We encourage all of our readers to send us letters to the editor if they take issue with something we publish. As always, we will publish letters in print and online that are critical of Central Michigan Life. As we follow news closely, we understand that the world can be an ugly place. Reality is harsh and the truth hurts. We will never shy away from looking at society and our community with a skeptical eye. We expect that readers and commenters to do the same, but with candor, grace, and in a way that helps foster healthy debates. We understand that the news industry requires thick skin. This request for civility isn’t about us. We serve a wide audience of young and older adults alike, but the occasional teenager or 70-year-old may read us as well. Civil discourse is what makes America great. Let’s not forget that when we engage each other in debates online and on social media.

Trump’s ‘locker room talk’ is why we still need feminism My going away present for college was pepper spray. My neighbor handed it to me, telling me it sprayed 30 feet and was the same one he gave his daughter when she moved away to college. It was a stark reminder of why we need feminism. If that sentence makes you angry or uncomfortable, then good, because I am angry. I am uncomfortable. I am exhausted. A few days ago, a man stopped me to ask for my phone number. I told him I wasn’t interested, and walked away. The interaction was harmless — until it wasn’t. He proceeded to follow me, attempting to convince me to give him my number. I finally informed him I am a lesbian, and that I have a girlfriend. He parked his bike in

front of me to ask if I wanted to have a threesome. This is not the first time a man has followed me to ask for my number or to harass me after I expressed my disinterest. It’s not even the first time being followed this year, nor the first time my disinterest threatened my personal safety. And now, in the final weeks of the presidential election, we have a “serious” Republican presidential nominee admitting to sexual assaulting women and calling it “locker

room talk.” It’s not locker room talk. It’s sexual assault — and you cannot make “America safe again” if you’re part of this specific problem. I once had a man in his 20’s grope me in a grocery store. I was 15 years old. I once had a man catcall at me out of his car window. It was nighttime and I was alone. It didn’t feel as much like a compliment as it was a warning. I ignored him, but then the car slowed. I turned into the nearest store parking lot and called for a friend to pick me up. I was 16 years old. I once told a man I was a lesbian, so he flashed me his penis as a “joke.” He said I was overreacting by becoming upset. That was last summer. Donald Trump calling sexual harassment and assault “locker room

talk” should not be taken lightly. He’s defending a culture that normalizes these horrendous crimes. It’s the reason people like Stanford swimmer and convicted rapist Brock Turner serve short sentences for crimes of sexual violence. It’s the reason some people still refer to Turner just as a “Stanford swimmer” and not a rapist. One in five women have been raped in their lifetimes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At least 97 percent of rapists receive little to no punishment at all. Do not tell me we don’t need feminism. We cannot excuse sexual harassment and assault as a crude joke. As a survivor and a decent human being, I cannot accept or excuse your “jokes.” Women inherently deserve the right to say “no” to unwanted sexual

advances. We deserve the right to speak out in the workplace, in class and in public. We deserve the right to wear what we want and should never have that misconstrued as “asking for it.” The only thing we are asking for is safety and equity. Call me a “Femi-Nazi.” I’ve heard it all before from strangers on Facebook to men following me on bikes and in cars. To be clear: It may not be all men, but there’s enough of them out there for it to be a systemic problem. It allows someone like Trump, a misogynist man who admitted to sexually assaulting women, to be so close to the White House in 2016. If this column and my feminism makes you angry, then good. It’s supposed to.

Letter to the

EDITOR

Death comes for us all, but unlikely at the hands of espresso TO THE EDITOR: There is a famous quote oft credited to American poet Charles Bukowski. “Find something you love and let it kill you,” Bukowski writes. It’s in the spirit of that quote I refer to columnist Haley Pote’s recent Central Michigan Life column on the dangers of caffeine. I aim to reassure readers that death isn’t likely to come at the hand of your morning cup o’ joe. The caffeine the average student consumes in coffees, teas and sodas are at safe levels fit for consumption — or overconsumption, factoring in exams.

According to the Mayo Clinic, the recommended safe limit for caffeine is 400 mg, equivalent to four cups of brewed coffee or around five shots of espresso. Of course, there is little room to dispute caffeine is a legal psychoactive drug, a stimulant with a few side effects that even has a temporary withdrawal period if removed from a person’s diet. In the circumstances of coffee and espresso, the risk is minimal. The National Center for Health Research announced this year the health benefits of coffee outweigh the risks for

most people. That research found drinking coffee aids in prevention of at least three different types of cancer and a leads to a lower likelihood of developing Type II diabetes. The studies also found healthy coffee consumption slows the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease, and acts as a nueroprotectant against the onset of Parkinson’s disease. Coffee drinks are also the number one source of disease-fighting antioxidants in the American diet, according to a study done by the University of Scran-

ton. Sorry about that, pomegranates. I do agree with Pote on the dangers of caffeine powder and its pill counterparts. These fell under FDA scrutiny recently after a series of deaths followed a boom in popularity in the online marketplace. A teaspoon of the chemical in pure form can have as much as 5,000 mg of caffeine; the equivalent caffeine dosage equal to roughly fifty cups of coffee. The idea of drinking that much coffee in a day is absurd — even for me. Bizarrely, that isn’t enough to kill most people. Some studies suggest the

lethal dosage of coffee falls anywhere within the range of 70 to 120 cups for the average human. So in regards to Pote’s well-intended cautionary column, I wholeheartedly agree naps and adequate sleep are keys to a healthy lifestyle, but starting your morning with a cup of coffee is a healthy way to greet the day. It helps you get a mental boost to handle the rigors of the college lifestyle. And no, it’s not going to kill you. ERICK FREDENDALL Imlay City senior

A new student service center has been added to the ground floor of the Health Professions Building this semester. Staff of the student center moved into the space on July 15. It consists of an undergraduate academic adviser, a success coach, a director of graduate admissions and an assistant director of the service center, said Sharon Livernois, the center’s assistant director. The center is located on the main floor in the center atrium area of the Health Professions Building. The space was previously used as an open computer lab for health profession students, Livernois said. The computers were distributed throughout the college with the aid of the dean’s office. Clint Fitzpatrick, director of the student service center and graduate admissions, said the reason for the renovation was to combine the graduate admissions office with the freshmen and transfer students’ academic advising center of the college. This would allow all students within CHP to receive advising in a “one-stop shop,” Fitzpatrick said.

Before the change, the CHP academic adviser, Kelly Lawson, was located in Room 1215 of the Health Professions Building. Fitzpatrick, the graduate admissions director, was in Room 1213, which is located on a different floor. Fitzpatrick said he did not know why the services were located in different areas of the college, but said he was glad they are now together. Livernois added that students like the change, too. “Students are very appreciative of one place to come to instead of zig-zagging across the (building),” she said. Livernois said she wasn’t aware of students being notified of the change in advising. Nevertheless, she does not believe the center is underutilized for students not knowing its location. “In our situation, it’s a matter of getting the word out,” she said. “We’re not underutilized by any means. I just think that we’re so new that when students become familiar with the concept of one-stop shop, we won’t be underutilized.” Students who wish to set up an appointment with an adviser can contact the college’s general phone 989-774-2315 or email chp@cmich.edu. The center’s office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Students support abuse survivors through exercise By Brianne Twiddy Features Editor news@cm-life.com

There are days where Allison Tobey forgets she’s a person. Constantly thinking of her sexual assault makes her question her worth. That’s why in the middle of yoga, Tobey was hit by a feeling she said she couldn’t describe at first. It took her instructor repeating “you are important” to recognize the feeling — empowerment. Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates hosted a self-care yoga event Oct. 13 in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The group also hosted a Zumbathon Oct. 15 to demonstrate solidarity to those affected by sexual aggression. “To hear those words — that I mattered — and to be in a safe space and just realize that I was breathing was just amazing,” Tobey said. “I was so relaxed during that session and I carried that feeling with me, even when I left.” SAPA is a student organization that provides counseling, legal advocacy and support for survivors. The advocates receive more than 50 hours of training. Every minute, 20 people become victims of domestic violence, according to SAPA. The problem is often ignored on college campuses because domestic violence is assumed to occur between

older couples, said Holland senior Lindsey Trusty, SAPA member and event coordinator. More than 50 people attended the Zumbathon, held in the MAC room of the Student Activity Center. A silent auction was held on the side as participants danced in the center of the room. Proceeds go toward SAPA services. “These events help raise awareness that (Domestic Abuse) happening and is a problem. One in three women and one in four men are survivors of domestic abuse,” Trusty said. “(At the event) we give resources and the opportunity to help. We address signs to look for to help students know what to look for and what to do.” Petoskey senior Spencer Goodrich, the event’s Zumba instructor and a SAPA member, said the turnout exceeded expectations. It was Goodrich’s debut as a Zumba instructor after becoming certified last spring. “It went really well. I was a little embarrassed because I didn’t have anything set in stone,” Goodrich said. “Some of my moves were too complex, so I had to break it down slower. (The event) couldn’t have gone better.” SAPA will be holding a live artistic performance with a speak out for survivors of sexual aggression as a form of solidarity at 7 p.m. Oct. 26 at in University Rotunda.

With the fourth CMED class filled, students s about providing medical patient care to By Greg Horner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Hillary Cullison had eight facial reconstruction surgeries from the age of 9 to 16. She was born with a congenital malformation that impacted her lower jaw and upper palate. Cullison was barely able to chew by the time she reached third grade. “Sometimes I had really good doctors and sometimes I had really bad doctors,” said the second-year medical student from Caledonia. “I could tell how well the surgery went based on how well I was treated. That made me think the person who’s (administering) the medicine matters. That’s when I started to think about becoming a doctor.” Cullison wants to be like one of the good doctors who took care of her. She is one of 376 students pursuing a medical degree at Central Michigan University’s College of Medicine. Students are drawn to studying medicine for a variety of reasons. This is a time-consuming endeavor when combined with extra curricular activities most medical students are involved in, ranging from pursuing military service to volunteering in social justice activities.

FREE TIME ISN’T FREE Dr. Robert Fleischmann, a CMED faculty member, said the college wants its students to have a well-rounded life outside of their studies. “We try very hard to encourage them to make time for themselves (to) work out in the gym, go for a

walk; maybe that’s the time when they want to watch TV — to save some time for themselves for their own mental health,” he said. It isn’t always easy for a medical student to have a social life outside of school. “Medicine is very focused, so during the week I work hard. I would probably say I spend 12 hours a day focusing on my work,” she said. “But on the weekend, you can make time. It’s all about prioritizing and planning.” Intramural sports are big among CMED students, Cullison said, who has played soccer, basketball, volleyball and is considering softball. “Everyone here is active and a lot were collegiate athletes in undergrad,” she said. “We’re all very motivated and competitive young people and we’re fit — so it’s very fun.” For Madeline Brockberg, activism is an interest she dedicates her free time to. The fourth-year student works with the Gold Humanism Honor Society, a group dedicated to medical students, residents and physician educators who provide for their community. She’s worked with the Underground Railroad, a women’s shelter in Saginaw that helps victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and human slavery. “Certainly we work hard, but we also tend to be high energy and passionate about a lot of things,” Brockberg said. “I’ve been very impressed by the amount of involvement that my classes and the classes below me have had in volunteer work and activism.”

In addition to managing how they spend their time, medical students must also be smart with how they spend their money.

JUST SCRAPING BY According to the American Association of Medical Colleges, the average amount of debt for a medical student in 2015 was $172,751. “Going to medical school for the money is the worst decision you can make,” said second-year student Firas Shalabi. Because of the cost, Shalabi mostly lives on loans and said he is lucky to have a wife who works during the year. He also supports himself by working during the summer. “That’s how it works for me. My family is very supportive and wanted to try to help, but I showed them the numbers to show that they couldn’t really help,” Shalabi said. As a member of the Army, Cullison receives a stipend that helps cover her cost of living expenses. “I’ve seen people who got their loan money and went grocery shopping because they only had oatmeal left,” she said. “That’s a bummer. They’re here trying to do things that require energy.” CMED works to help students find places to live when they travel to the partner facilities, said Dr. Steve Vance, associate dean of clinical education. Financial aid helps pay for their housing and the college provides scholarships to help reduce the burden. Ghannam said getting by can be tough, but working with the college has made it easier.

You try your best to live reasonably,” he said. “CMED does a great job of helping with our budget and finding ways to make it work.” Shalabi doesn’t mind living on a budget for now. After becoming a doctor, he knows his fortunes will improve. “Nobody really feels pity for medical students because 15 years down the line (we’ll be) making a very comfortable salary,” he said. “That’s just the bumps that we’re going through now.”

MEDICINE ON A MISSION CMED’s mission is to train doctors who will serve in rural and under-served communities across Michigan, Vance said. CMED, which launched in 2009, has all four classes filled for the first time this semester. First and second-year students spend most of their time in a classroom setting on campus while third-year students are embedded for six months at rural family practices across the state. “This allows (students) to experience longitudinal care,” Vance

said. “Seeing a patient and having the opportunity to follow them through the healthcare environment (gives students) a sense of how particularly in rural and underserved regions folks get their care.” Third-year students will then join fourth-year students and spend the remainder of their time doing clinical rotations at CMED’s partner facilities: St. Mary’s and Covenant in Saginaw and St. John Hospital and Medical Center in Detroit. Students showed their intellect to CMU through applying to the medical school, Fleischmann said. They also were also recruited to be a part of the new school because of what drove them to pursue studying medicine. “A distinguishing feature of our medical students is (they) are sensitive and caring individuals,” Fleischmann said. In May, CMED will graduate 64 students — its first class. They will then go through four years of residency before receiving their medical license. “We don’t expect all of our graduates will want to go into medical care in under-served

communities,” Fleischmann said. “I hope we get a significant percentage of them. I’m hoping we don’t lose them all to the big city lights or the ultra-specialty.”

TREATMENT THROUGH TEAMWORK Shalabi believes CMED isn’t like most medical schools. “We’re kind of on the cutting edge of the way medical school is changing — and that’s to include more teamwork,” Shalabi said. Traditional medical schools educate through several hours of lecture, which can be difficult to retain, the Ann Arbor native said. From the beginning, students at CMED are presented cases on a daily basis. They work in groups to figure out how to approach an illness. “It’s a long process of trying to think like a physician and learning the science through that process,” Shalabi said. Fleischmann was the first faculty member hired by CMED and helped build the college’s curriculum. Starting a medical school from scratch has its advantages,

he said. “More and more medical schools are including problembased exercise as part of their curriculum,” Fleischmann said. “Instead of going up against an established practice, we started with a concept we wanted as our feature — problem based learning with groups of students interacting with each other in self-learning environments.” The importance of case-based learning can’t be overstated, Cullison said. When talking with medical students from other colleges, she was surprised by the differences between curriculum. “It was interesting to hear what everyone was talking about because they had never been presented a case,” Cullison said. “We were presented a case on our third day.” Brockberg is working clinical rotations at St. John Hospital and Medical Center in Detroit. She said the teamwork skills she learned in her first two years helped her in the hospital setting. w CMED | 12

“When I think about CMED, I think about the community we have,” Brockberg said. “I feel lucky to be a part of a school that provides that.”

ABOUT THE PATIENTS Alex Ghannam is a third-year student from Novi. He’s working in Owosso at a family health clinic and conducts rotations at Memorial Healthcare. From the very beginning, CMED encouraged students to work on patient rapport, Ghannam said. He feels comfortable meeting and talking to patients because he’s had the experience to work past it. “Most of the anxiety of walking into a patient’s room and examining them got worked out in the first couple of years,” Ghannam said. “By the time I got into a clinic with actual patients, in the real deal, it was much more natural.” Fleischmann said the school wants students to understand the knowledge they gain in lecture has real world applications, and to learn to treat patients to the best of their ability. “We want students to treat all patients the same way. Maybe some patients you might be tempted to say ‘well that patient drinks too much so I don’t care about them,’” Fleischmann said. “We don’t want our physicians making those judgments. We want to make sure all patients are given the same, highest medical care possible.” Both Shalabi and Cullison worked at clinics in Clare as a part of their Integrated Clinical Experience. The students were able to interact with patients and practice their basic medical skills. She remembers an awkward moment that occurred when conducting a routine cardiac exam on a female patient. The examination checks the heart at different places on the chest. “I literally had to ask this woman to move her breast — it’s really awkward the first time you do that,” Cullison said, laughing. “But it’s interesting

to hit those walls you didn’t know about and then have to overcome them with your instructor.”

‘ALWAYS MORE TO LEARN’ Cullison and Shalabi still have two more years to go, while Ghannam has one. Cullison hopes to get through CMED and serve her residency in the Army. She said wherever she is deployed, it’s important to her she works in family medicine. “It’s hard to say because it’s 10 years away from me, but I would not be opposed to moving back to Michigan,” Cullison said. “Especially with the climate we have about public healthcare and how it is being developed and talked about — that’s a climate I want to be a part of,” Cullison said. Shalabi has a big family in Michigan and plans on staying in the state. “One of the things that really attracted me to

this medical school is the fact that they’re aiming to serve rural and underserved communities,” Shalabi said. “I have always been interested in serving underserved communities, especially in southeast Michigan, certain racial and ethnic populations and that’s my personal plan.” Ghannam isn’t sure what he’s going to do after his residency. He’s just grateful for the education he’s received at CMED. “It was tough in the first and second years, because you’re trying to figure out how what you’re learning applies to patients,” he said. “Now I’m in a clinic and seeing people with a lot of the conditions that we’ve learned about — it’s been reassuring that I actually know what’s happening. There’s always more to learn, but I’m surprised at how much I now know.” Fleischmann is excited to see what the college’s first graduating class is going to accomplish in

residency and beyond. He hopes the students look back fondly on their experience. “I hope they feel rewarded and feel they’ve gotten the highest quality education,” he said. “I hope they don’t lose their idealism — that sense of othercenterdness — to show care and concern for the patient above all else.” Brockberg is a part of that first class of students that will graduate in May. She came to the school because she wanted to be a part of something new. She said she wouldn’t have wanted to go to a medical school without the friends and mentors she met at CMED. She has started applying to residencies and is waiting to find out which hospital she’ll be matched with. “I really liked the idea of being a part of the first class,” she said. “I thought it was an exciting opportunity to be a part of shaping something, creating a culture and being a leader in a new venture.”

99th District candidates debate education, tax reform policies By Jordyn Hermani News Editor news@cm-life.com

College affordability, sustainability and supporting small businesses were topics of discussion for the 99th District House of Representatives debate Oct. 13. Democratic candidate Bryan Mielke and Republican candidate Roger Hauck spoke for more than one hour to a crowd at the Mount Pleasant City Building. The two candidates touched on myriad issues and discussion was spawned by questions from the audience. Voters in Isabella County and parts of Midland County will choose their next state representative during the Nov. 8 general election. The winner will replace term-limited Mount Pleasant native Kevin Cotter as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives. A Republican, Cotter also serves as the Speaker of the House. “I promise to do the best I can to bring back better government,” Mielke said. “Government should be of, by and for the people. It’s time to represent Michiganders and not buy into special interests.” Throughout the night, the two spoke on issues raised through audience submitted questions. While both presented similar answers to topics of taxation or the Enbridge Line 5 Pipeline, they presented different plans to achieve those goals. A major point of contention for both candidates was government transparency. Michigan ranks last in the nation in terms of state transparency according to a study by the Center for Public Integrity and Global Integrity, two nonprofit organizations that promote government transparency and ethics. Mielke said transparency would be one of the first things he would begin work on if elected to office. Hauck said the lack of transparency has resulted in failing veterans’ nursing homes around the state, abuse of Freedom of Information Act laws and events like the Flint water crisis. The only issue the two expressed differences on was how they would ensure members of the LGBT community in the 99th District were protected from discrimination. Though both agreed the community’s protection was of utmost importance, but Hauck said it was important to keep in mind the rights of others as well. “I don’t think anyone should be discriminated against,” Hauck said. “But we also need to look at that sometimes, we’re so concerned

about one group and what they want, we can trample on the feet of a different group. It’s something we really, really need to look at very closely.” Both Hauck and Mielke serve on the Union Charter Township Board of Trustees. Hauck, a shop employee at Delfield Co., is a license contractor and a graduate of Beal City High School. In addition to serving on the Union Board of Trustees, he was also the Chief Union Steward at Delfield Co. Hauck does not have a college degree. “I’m not a politician,” he said. “I’m not running because I want to become a politician. I’m running because I love the citizens of this district. I love these hardworking people and people who work hard deserve good representation.” Mielke, a Central Michigan University alumnus, has been on the Union board since 2009. He also has served as a township trustee since 2012 and spent two years on the Union Township Economic Development Board. For the past 25 years, Mielke worked as a software engineer. Three issues Mielke hopes to tackle if elected into office are increasing transparency in state government, increasing state funding for public education and stimulating job growth for small businesses. Hauck wants to address “taxation, (governmental) regulation and education.”

Sophomore forward Alexis Pelafas tracks the ball during the game against Ohio on Oct. 16 at the Soccer / Lacrosse Complex.

CMU beats Ohio in overtime as Pelafas breaks scoring record By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

With rain misting in Mount Pleasant on Sunday, Central Michigan soccer found itself in the fifth overtime match it has played in its last six games, but a historic goal lifted the Chippewas to a 2-1 win over Ohio. After the Bobcats tied the score 1-1 with just 24 seconds remaining in regulation, the nation’s leading goal scorer, CMU’s sophomore striker Alexis Pelafas, took the game into her own hands. In the second overtime period, Pelafas stormed the front of the net, flustering the Bobcats’ goalkeeper and causing the ball to bounce loose in front of the net. The Illinois native made one move to her left and buried her 15th goal of the season to give CMU its 13th win of 2016.

The goal makes her Central Michigan soccer’s all-time regular season scoring leader. Allison Campbell set the 2001 record of 14 goals. It was a slow first half for both teams with only four total shots on goal. Ohio outshot CMU 3-1, leading to a scoreless first half. It wasn’t until the 62nd minute when Pelefas scored the first goal of the game with a header on a pass from senior midfielder Eliza Van de Kerkhove to make the score 1-0. It was Pelafas’ 14th goal of the season, which tied the school record. The game continued to go back and forth with both teams not being able to record many shots on goal. The clock was winding down with just 24 seconds remaining when Ohio’s Hannah Jaggers scored the equalizing goal to knot the score at 1-1. The first overtime period went by quickly with few scoring chances.

With CMU facing a second consecutive match ending in a draw, Pelafas had other ideas. “Really, I’m not thinking. I just know I have to put the ball in the back of the net,” Pelafas said of her game winning goal. “I tried to do my job and finish the goal.” Head coach Peter McGahey said his team learned a valuable lesson after another overtime win. “I (have) a lot of thoughts, but I think the most important thing is the lesson that sometimes in life on the days you don’t feel your very best, you just got to keep grinding,” McGahey said. “You have to keep believing and I think that we did a heck of a job with that today.” The Chippewas fought back after a heartbreaking late goal that could have crushed their morale going into overtime. Pelafas said she believes this team has no problem staying positive.

“It is just another win, but our team is very special and we’ll just keep moving on and take this as yet another learning point to keep getting better as a team,” she said. McGahey said Pelafas’ record-breaking 15th goal means a lot not just to her, but everyone involved in the CMU women’s soccer organization. “It’s a lot of things: The history of the program, the legacy that has been left, the championship culture that we as a team have to try to live up to everyday,” McGahey said. “It’s the legacy of our department and program. It’s something we take a lot of pride in to represent the flying C in the right way. “I think she (Pelafas) will be proud, the alumni will be proud and I know the team is very proud of Lexi and that they were able to be a part of her accomplishment.” The Chippewas hit the road to take on Akron at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

DIII hockey team beats Hope College 5-2 in home opener By Mitchell Vosburg Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Central Michigan’s Division III hockey team beat Hope College 5-2 Saturday at home, scoring four unanswered goals in the third period. A large crowd packed the Isabella County Events Arena for the team’s home opener, which players said gave them an added boost after losing to Hope 4-2 at Edge Ice Arena on Friday. “It was huge coming for our first home game,” said left wing Nathan Allgaier. “We fed off the crowd’s energy. We needed that coming in after a tough loss last night.” Both teams spent the first five minutes of the game testing each other during a physical first period. “Hope (College) doesn’t like to be hit,” said head coach Tyler Cataline. “We knew coming in that if we played physical, they’d start taking bad penalties.” CMU carried a 1-0 lead after the first period. The Chippewas’ goal came from defenseman Dylan Billins at the 6:24 mark. Nine minutes into the second period, momentum seemed to have swung in Hope’s favor as the Flying Dutchmen scored to tie the game. With eight seconds left

in the period, Hope added another goal on a power play to take the lead 2-1. Down one in the third period, the Chippewas did not fold. CMU went on to score four unanswered goals to take control of the game. “We knew we had to come out strong (in the third period),” Allgaier said. “We knew we were outplaying them. We stayed out of the penalty box for the most part and we knew we had a shot at winning.” The Traverse City graduate student scored two of CMU’s four goals in the third period. Junior goaltender Riley Morgan said the leadership of Allgaier and team captains propelled CMU to the win. “Our captains talked us back into it, our coaches did too,” Morgan said. Allowing two goals in 34 shots, Morgan was relieved to see the team catch

fire in the third. “It made me feel amazing and makes my job a lot easier,” he said. For Cataline, the most important thing about his team’s performance during the third period was all the players coming together to play as one. “That was probably the best third period we’ve played all year,” he said. “We played an all-around good game against a good team. They’re going to be one of the top teams this year.” The CMU DIII hockey team will be back in action Friday, Oct. 21 against Calvin College at 7:30 p.m. at the Isabella County Events Arena. The team competes in the American Collegiate Hockey Association and is placed in a division consisting of Lawrence Tech, Oakland, Saginaw Valley State, Adrian, Michigan-Flint, and Northwood.
