Remembering9/11
There might be small details that bring us back to that day — a parent’s grimacing facial expression, the smell
of something burning or the simple display of an American flag.
Close to 3,000 people died on 9/11 in a series of attacks Central Michi-gan Life in 2001 headlined as “An-other Day of Infamy.”
Americans were glued to their television screens. Recurring images looked like something out of a disas-ter film. And 10 years later, people everywhere — including those with ties to Central Michigan University — can remember exactly where they were.
Vincent Cavataio, Student Govern-ment Association president, thought nothing was out of the ordinary that morning when he was called down to his school’s office to meet his mother.
Maybe he was going out to eat with family, the seventh-grader thought, after all, Sept. 11 is his mother’s birthday.
But 19 terrorists had hijacked four planes, and by the afternoon, both the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City had col-lapsed, a section of the Pentagon lay in ruins in Virginia and a plane had plummeted into a Pennsylvania field.
Cavataio has relatives who live
in Manhattan, and walked into the school’s office to see his mother “in hysterics.” There they watched CNN as the second plane hit the Towers.
“And I will always remember that moment — the look on my mom’s face, the gasp, the not knowing what to say, then looking at me,” the Shel-by Township senior said. “She just looked at me, and she didn’t know how to explain what was happening.”
However, not every kid in school learned of the events as they unfolded.
Rochester Hills senior Jacquelyn Keenan was like a lot of others, learn-ing nothing of the attacks until she got home. The 11-year-old had a general understanding that buildings had been hit after her neighbor, who was in the National Guard, broke the news.
In the years that followed, Keenan said she went on to analyze the actual impact of the attacks and the aware-ness they spurred within her own family.
“The year after it happened, my mother wanted to put up an Ameri-can flag, you know, because every-body was feeling patriotic,” she said. “And I remember we had to wait like three months ... because everybody wanted one, and I remember think-ing as a kid, ‘Wow, before I could just go get an American flag wherever.’”

Students, faculty, alumna reflect on events 10 years agoBy Jackie Smith | Online Coordinator

University President George Ross began the State of the University Address Wednesday by saying Central Michigan University is in a strong position.
“We will set aggressive goals and work together in the spirit of civility to continue the legacy of our great university as we light that torch and blaze a trail toward our future,” Ross said to the crowd of about 500 people Wednesday af-ternoon in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium. “Our students and our commu-nity deserve nothing less.”
Provost Gary Shapiro opened the address by go-
ing through the goals of the university. These in-cluded the prioritization process with databasing, strengthening the faculty and employee capabili-ties, and adding the medi-cal school and a new bio-sciences building.
“Our goal is to prepare our students for success after they graduate, both professionally and per-sonally,” he said.
Shapiro also discussed the need for CMU to in-crease the international students and faculty at CMU, and also increase students who study abroad.
“This year was the high-est number for minority

Ross: University in strong position; FA pickets outside

According to Central Michi-gan University, several coach-es do not want to be a part of the Faculty Association any-more.
Derek van der Merwe, se-nior associate athletic direc-tor, said a survey was taken among coaches, showing a difference between the FA claiming they want to stay.
“20 of 34 (coaches) were in support of moving outside the union,” he said.
Right now only three coach-
es are not a part of the FA: Dan Enos, football head coach; Ernie Ziegler, men’s basket-ball coach; and Sue Guevarra, women’s basketball coach.
Issues come up when coach-es are leave because they are a part of the bargaining group, van der Merwe said.
The two groups were at odds Wednesday during their first meeting with Fact Finder Barry Goldman in Powers Hall.
Other membership issues came up between the FA and future faculty members of the College of Medicine.
College of Medicine Dean Ernest Yoder was under oath as lawyers from both sides asked him how people interviewed for positions for the college re-acted about the possibility of being a part of the FA.
“They were uniformly nega-tive about being members of a bargaining unit,” he said.
Lawyers for the FA brought up a discussion Yoder had with bargaining units about potential hires for CMED be-ing a part of the group.
Yoder said he told lawyers, “If it becomes necessary, we will work with the FA,” during the earlier meeting with the bargaining group.
Other IssuesRay Christie, vice provost
of Academic Administration, answered questions from lawyers about the current economic state of CMU, and said 94 percent of the current budget is from appropriations

enrollment in the history of the school,” Shapiro said. “Indeed CMU has come a long way in diversifying our students and staff, however, we still have a long way to go.”
A crowd of about 100 Fac-ulty Association members sat in the front rows and did not applaud for Shapiro or Ross. FA members had been marching in protest around Warriner since 2 p.m. chant-ing, “We know truth! FA Strong!”
Michael Bailey, executive director for Michigan’s Amer-ican Association of Univer-sity Professors, attended the protest and said the FA was an inspiration.
Ross highlited CMU suc-cesses, including the debate team, the GPAs of CMU ath-letes and the tuition increase being the lowest in the state. CMU is facing difficult budget cuts, he said, but if the uni-versity unifies together in the spirit of civility, the school can build a foundation of success for future students.
Moments after Ross fin-
ished speaking, FA President Laura Frey was on a table out-side giving her reaction to FA protesters. She said pressure for unity has come from the FA, not from the administra-tion. Frey said CMU’s prob-lems stem from a “leadership deficit crisis”.
“I’m looking for President Ross and his administration to emulate these core values in their interaction with all faculty and all students.” Frey said. “I want to see President Ross … walk the walk and talk the talk.”
Saginaw freshman Dan Ahrens said Ross made good points, but also skimmed over important things like the university and the FA. He said he wished Ross had used more “nitty gritty” examples.
St. Claire freshman Cody Armstrong said it was obvi-ous Ross’ comments on ci-vility referred to the situation between the administration and the FA Armstrong said both groups have been un-civil during this process and hopes they work it out.
“It’s good that they want to come together,” Armstrong said. “It’s certainly better for us as students.”

People in need of an organ transplant may feel one step closer after the record-setting increase of donors registered in Michigan this year.
In August, more than 44,000 Michigan residents registered to become organ donors, said Secretary of State Ruth John-
son in a press release.Isabella County’s organ do-
nors make up 39 percent of the adult donor population in Michigan, said Tim Makinen, Gift of Life Michigan director of corporate communications.
Registrations increased be-cause of Johnson’s Restart the Heart campaign launched in April, and from working close-ly with advocacy partners Gift of Life and the Michigan Eye-Bank.
“The Secretary of State branch employees have en-couraged people to join the registry, along with promo-
tional posters throughout the branch,” Secretary of State spokesman Fred Woodhams said. “Ruth is a strong believer in organ donation and that giving the gift of life is a selfless act.”
Woodhams said there has been an increase of 9,462 regis-tered donors in Isabella Coun-ty since 2007.
He said this August, a total of 44,101 people joined the registry, compared to 31,403 in August 2010. August was the fourth consecutive month this year with an increase of double digits.
Johnson also pushed for placing reminders on Secre-tary of State forms, advertising its efforts on the department’s website and forming an advi-sory committee to develop rec-ommendations and encourage donation via social media, ac-cording to a Secretary of State press release.
Makinen said there are near-ly 3,000 people on the trans-plant waiting list in Michigan.
As of Sept. 1, 2,372 people in Michigan are in need of a kidney transplant. A kidney is often the most needed organ and the average wait time is
about five years, Makinen said.There are also many who
need additional gifts of eyes and tissue from donors, he said.
“Gift of Life Michigan works closely with the Secretary of State and the Michigan Eye-Bank all with the common mission to get people to join the registry,” he said.
“If someone is getting a new license and wants to become a donor, the organ logo will be permanently printed on the license,” Woodhams said. “For those who don’t need a new one, they will receive a
heart sticker to place on their license.”
Any residents interested in joining the registry may sign up at the Secretary of State website at www. Michigan.gov/sos.
Each organ donor has the potential to save eight lives and enhance the lives of as many as 50 patients.
“For most people this is the only opportunity to save someone else’s life,” Makinen said. “It leaves a legacy of gen-erosity and giving.”

Senior Specialist Clerk Corby Blem works on the piece he is painting for the Grand Rap-ids ‘ArtPrize’ Tuesday evening in the basement of his Mount Pleasant home. “These are all friends and family. I call them my nerds, because everyone in the 1960s were nerds,” Blem said.
Birmingham sophomore Alex Reed and Wixom senior Rachael Wessel bow their heads at the end of a yoga class taught by instructor Andrew Criswell Monday morning in the Student Activity Center’s dance studio. “I’ve never taken yoga before and wanted to take a class that was fun, new, exciting, and that would challenge me,” Wessel said.

Calm CallingBy Ben Harris | Senior Reporter
Andrew Criswell finds peace in instructing yoga
39 percent enrolled statewide in Isabella County
He said he started instructing when one of his teachers sug-gested he try it. After he began, Criswell decided teaching was what he needed to do.
“My favorite part of teaching is when someone takes time to tell me that in some way my classes or my teaching had made a really big impact on their life,” Criswell said. “I find that incredibly sat-isfying.” Maple Rapids junior Rebecca Enneking is in her second year of yoga instruction
with Criswell.“The calmness he embodies is
contagious and it makes you just want to slow down,” Enneking said. “I aspire to have a lifestyle like his. He’s one of the mellowest people I’ve ever met.”
Enneking said she has the class twice a week, and because of Criswell’s influence, she prac-tices yoga two to three additional days on her own.
“He’s helped me get 50 min-utes twice a week that I can just
stop and embrace that time and forget everything other than my breathing and the air on my skin and the people around me,” En-neking said. “It’s a big thing.”
She said Criswell always took time to explain poses to her and other students.
“I’ve learned a lot about yoga and I’ve learned about life,” En-neking said. “There’s definitely a lot that you can take from his classes if you go in with an open mind.”
Enneking said she believes everyone should experience the class.
“He’s one of the best people I’ve ever met,” she said. “As a pro-fessor I think he’s inspiring.”
Criswell said he enjoys teach-ing beginning students the most.
“I really love to see the expres-sion on their face when they get it — when they realize what it’s all about,” he said.
Teaching yoga is more than a job for instruc-tor Andrew Criswell.
A native of New York, Criswell has taught yoga at Central Michigan University for six
years in the Student Activity Center. Before teaching at CMU he owned a yoga studio in Midland.
“I came from a very technical engineering, scien-tific background,” he said. “As a result, I always had a very active mind, sometimes too much so. When I first started taking yoga I was looking for some exer-cise and a way to get out of the house. When I took the class for the first time in my life I experienced a quiet mind, and I said, ‘Wow, this is what I really need.’”
Criswell has since practiced yoga for over 20 years.

Last year a total of 1,713 artists competed to become the public’s favorite artist at Grand Rapids ArtPrize.
This fall, two Central Mich-igan University employees are hoping to beat out the crowd.
CMU’s Corby Blem and Al Wildey will participate in this year’s ArtPrize competition, which begins Sept. 21 and goes through Oct. 9.
Associate Professor of Pho-
tography Wildey heard about ArtPrize through a gallery director in Grand Rapids in 2009 and has been participat-ing for the past three years.
“I think it’s a tremendous opportunity for artists to get their work in front of a widely divergent audience,” Wildey said. “I think it is a great ex-ample of ‘cultural capital’ that generates a great deal of interest that translates into a significant revenue stream for the city of Grand Rapids.”
This year will be the third year for ArtPrize and it has
been projected to grow from last year’s 192 venues, par-ticipants from 44 states and 21 different counties partici-pating and 465,538 votes. As the largest competition in the nation that solely relies on the public’s vote, the top 10 artists receive a cash prize with the top artist winning $250,000.
Blem, a senior specialist clerk for Student Employ-ment Services, was intro-duced to ArtPrize before last year’s competition by some friends who wanted him to
participate.“The entry I’m creating
for this year’s ArtPrize is one of substance,” he said. “The reason I waited until this year is because I didn’t want a tiny painting — I wanted something that was large and could capture everyone’s at-tention.”
The painting Blem pro-duced shows a giant yearbook layout of 1963 nerd versions of his friends and family.

The Sept. 11, 2001, at-tacks on the U.S., were in many ways Justin Hoyle’s first exposure to the Middle East as a junior at Mount Pleasant High School.
Political rhetoric of the time and mainstream me-dia amid the War on Terror would at first shape his perception of the region. But now, 10 years later, Hoyle is teaching a class about the Middle East for the first time at Central Michigan University, and things have changed.
“There’s probably not a single perception I hold today that I can say was a perception I held in 11th grade,” he said.
Hoyle lived in Egypt for more than two years as he worked for his graduate degree in Middle Eastern studies at the American University of Cairo, even traveling to other na-tions in the region. It was classes he took as an un-dergraduate at CMU that inspired this area of study, he said.
Issues of racial profiling in airports and the federal government’s invasion of citizen privacy, among others, have risen over the last decade. In many ways, he said, American atti-tudes haven’t changed.
Thomas Stewart, an as-sistant professor of po-litical science, said it is important for students to understand the agendas and philosophies of any potential enemy in the world, such as al-Qaeda and others that have sur-faced in the Middle East since 9/11.
“Time and time again, generals have said, ‘This is a battle for hearts and minds,’” he said. “And if we don’t understand why these people hate us so much, we will never be able to defeat them.”
Reflection and moving foRwaRd
Stewart was an instruc-tor of tribal law at the Sag-inaw Chippewa Tribal Col-lege during the attacks. He
said a sense of tension and concern came over the Mount Pleasant com-munity.
But more potent in his mind was his then-recent trip with family to the top of the World Trade Center on July 4.
“When we read that Mohammed Atta had his luggage lost between Port-land, Maine, and Boston, Mass., and when it was re-covered, they discovered that the original planning was for July 4, being the nation’s holiday,” Stewart said. “It really did give us pause.”
Hoyle had been in a high school sociology class doing group work that morning when a knock at the door summoned his teacher away. He said she returned with a “complete blank stare” on her face.
“She turned to all of us and said, ‘A plane just flew into the World Trade Center.’ Just very shocked, very sort of ex-pressionless,” Hoyle said. “And we turned the TV on, and sure enough, there it was.”
Tom Brauch, an as-sistant English language and literature professor, points to words like “be-wilderment” and “confu-sion” when recalling his feelings for those around him during the attacks.
He said his own concern was distinguishing Islam from what happened and not to blame religion for what happened.
“I tried to think about how it was something that isn’t right by their prin-ciples or ours,” Brauch said. “Trying to make that distinction is important to me. Terrorism and Is-lam can’t be directly con-nected because it’s all so different.”
Brauch said he doesn’t talk to students very much in his own class-room about 9/11, but that he would encourage it if a student took a topic.
Likewise, Hoyle urges students to take classes about the Middle East to gain perspective. Since the attacks, he said Amer-ican attitudes at large have not changed as many remain “very emotionally connected to 9/11.”

University President George Ross said Central Michi-
gan University was in strong fi-nancial shape in his State of the University Address Wednesday.
But just a few buildings over, in a much more intimate setting, another story about university finances was told.
Ray Christie, vice president of Academic Administration, talked with the Faculty As-sociation and CMU bargaining teams as a fact-finder listened to both sides of the
contract dispute.Christie’s perspective gave
officials in Powers Hall a dif-ferent look at CMU’s budget than the optimistic messages booming throughout Plachta Auditorium.
He said CMU is more reli-ant on student tuition money than state appropriations, and showed a presentation about the budget and the $5 million annually going to the College of Medicine.
But he revealed a less cheer-
ful fact about current issues in the deferred maintenance budget.
He said it only receives about $5.5 million annually, when about $13.5 million, almost three times that amount, would be required to keep campus in optimal conditions.
CMU complained about lacking $8 million for main-tenance while spending $5 million a year on opening a College of Medicine which is, for the moment, a complete
drain on revenue producing no funds of its own, and managed to present the slides right next to each other.
Officials have said there is no opportunity cost on the college and it will help CMU reach the next level of higher education, but this deficit in maintenance is clearly only one cost of po-tentially overreaching in a time of recession.
If CMU wasn’t sinking $5 million into CMED annually, it would be almost trivial to find funding for maintaining the buildings already essential to serving students in a more than $400 million operating budget.
While the truth about the current financial shape of
CMU is likely somewhere between Ross’ speech and Christie’s presentation, CMU can’t complain about budget problems largely created by itself.
We appreciate Ross’ vision for the future of this univer-sity, and applaud his efforts to continue growing the school in both programs and prestige when many would simply bat-ten down the hatches and toss future concerns overboard.
However, trading the univer-sity’s present quality of facilities and education in hopes of an elusive gold-tinged future is, for students dealing with cur-rent conditions, no compro-mise at all.

Editor’s note: Brad O’Donnell is a former presi-dent of College Democrats.
I have noticed a disturbing trend as I speak with my
friends, relatives and oppo-nents.
We are becoming afraid to offend people.
It must be conceded that Republicans generally do not have this problem. Perhaps it is the nature of right-wingers to be loud and assertive.
My Democratic friends are often timid in their political assertions. Challenging moder-ates and liberals seems to be an exercise in futility. As such, conservatives get their way and reasonable political views are trampled.
I am not advocating that it is time to throw respect out the window. I am advocating a re-turn to the old ways of discuss-ing politics: Civil, level-headed and incredibly assertive.
When I listen to my el-derly friends and relatives talk politics, it never becomes personal, no one turns red and storms away and no one resorts to name-calling. They may disagree and have strong words for each other, but that is the nature of sharing ideas.
When I talk politics to people my parents’ age or my own age, things get heated quickly. They either shut down or get defen-sive. Words are never heard and ideas are never shared. In fact, many people I know will stop political conversations before they begin so no one will get offended.
People need to stop being so sensitive. It is preposterous to stop uncomfortable conversa-tion simply because some may get offended. Do not be afraid to be challenged. Otherwise, you may run into the problem Democrats are having in Wash-ington, D.C.
For example, President Obama recently decided he wanted to give a speech to a joint session of Congress on their first day back after recess. This turned out to be mildly controversial because that was the same night Republican presidential hopefuls were go-ing to have one of their many debates.
Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner told Presi-dent Obama he could take his speech and shove it, the debate was more important. That should have been a bad politi-cal move for Speaker Boehner, as it was highly disrespectful to the office of the president.
Instead of political conse-quences for the Speaker, Presi-dent Obama decided to once again to cave to Republican demands and move the date of the speech. The headlines the next day emphasized Boehner’s strength and Obama’s weakness as politi-cians. All Speaker Boehner did was forcefully put forward his point, and he won the battle.
Democrats should take a lesson. So should you.
Get tough to get results.

Brad O’DonnellColumnist
“Your people killed our people, now our people
are going to kill your people,” were the words ringing through my ears in Mrs. Lashbrook’s sixth grade class on Sept. 11, 2001.
At the time, knowing little of the destruction our country had just faced, those words said by my classmate “John” did not wear on me.
Webster Elementary decided not to inform students of the terrorist attacks. They also did not allow students to go home for lunch that day — with the exception of one.
“John” was the only student allowed to go home that day, because he lived mere blocks away, allowing him to watch the attacks on TV.
I did not think anything of his comment because I had no idea what he was talking about, so I brushed it off and went on with my day.
Upon entering my home, I found my mother and sisters glued to the TV. Before me, planes crashed into the twin towers and people were running and screaming — chaos and catastrophe filled the screen.
I was in shock.There we were, along with
millions of others watching, knowing there was nothing we could do.
My family is from the Middle East, which led many to au-tomatically associate us with terrorism. Since that day, racism has become a part of my life.
The next day in class, we sat in a circle and discussed the tragedy while it was fresh in our minds. After realizing the meaning behind what John said, I felt hurt and belittled by his words.
His 11-year-old rendition of the tragedy was not objective and his perspective may differ now. Either way, it was hurtful to be associated with terrorist who left an unsettling mark on our country.
I am not a terrorist. I am Chaldean. My family is from Iraq and I am not related to Osama bin Laden.
Since then, being Chaldean became a difficult task. At first, people assumed I was related to Osama bin Laden. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve heard the statement, “So does that mean you’re related to Osama bin Laden,” followed by a giggle.
Sept. 11, 2001 was a tragic day for millions not only nationwide, but worldwide. It was a rude awakening for me that individuals who are also terrorists do exist, and they are here for war.
The frequency of me having to explain this to someone is very high, but the assumption that I am related in some way has changed my life forever.

This letter is to students considering teaching as
a future profession. I am a retired teacher who taught in Michigan public schools for 26 years. You should be aware of a side of educa-tion in this state that your professors are unlikely to disclose.
You must understand that you, as a teacher, are totally expendable. Your being a terrific teacher, caring about students and working hard will not be enough to protect you from threats, intimidation or job loss.
You will have administra-tors who knowingly ignore state laws to save money in their budget. And if you bring it to someone’s atten-tion, expect to be threat-ened or made the scape-goat. You must understand that you, a teacher, are less important than the careers of administrators, school board members and legisla-tors.
You will be pressured to give preferential treatment, from changing grades to lowering standards, to cer-tain students. You will be blamed for students’ lack
of attendance, refusal to work and failing grades. Ex-pect to be threatened and intimidated by students, administrators and even school board members. When you are assaulted by a student, you will be pres-sured to not press criminal charges. Holding students accountable for their lack of work will be discouraged.
You will lose your job with three negative evalu-ations, even if they were caused by your refusing sexual advances or refusing to pass students who did not work.
Education policy in Michigan is set by people who know nothing about teaching. Political and monetary issues are all that matter to Michigan legislators. Expect to be threatened, manipulated, cursed at and intimidated. It is essential that you understand this if you ever accept a teaching position in Michigan.
If you are drawn to teach-ing, consider other states for employment.

AngryInBimini, Thurs-day
This is a ridiulous “news” story. First, get your facts straight. Bi-mini Bay is one of several resorts on the island of Bimini, not an island it-self. Second, the drinking age in the Bahamas is 18, so these girls admitted to illegal underage drinking.
Third, there is admit-tedly drunk driving...also illegal. Fourth, stopping to pick up a piece of your golf cart because you were drunk and hit some-thing does NOT qualify as “preventing littering”. These spoiled, privi-leged, underage drunken wreckless girls saying they wanted to get “back to the safety of the marina and away from these people” is apalling, pathetic and borderline racist.
The new Bimini Bay Resort is highly contro-versial here in Bimini, in
part because it attracts ig-norant tourists like these people who see Bimini as they’re own personal law-less playground.
Those of us who live here and respect the island are happy once season ends after Labor Day weekend, when all of these underage drunken people stop screaming down the road in golf carts, where they inevit-baly hurt themselves and us. Every year. Shame on these people.
Grant, ThursdayThis is perhaps one of
the most absurd articles I’ve ever read.
Some kids get drunk and trash a couple golf carts and ultimately end up injuring themselves, and they’re worried about “these people” in Bimini.
I’m an American that has lived on Bimini for over 10 years, and would
bet that any harassment these kids received from locals was due to the fact that they were, admit-tedly, drunk-driving reck-lessly around the island.
Also, I’m not sure if they owned the golf carts, or if they were rentals, but many people rely on keeping their golf carts in good condition so that they can rent them out to earn a living.
Another possible reason that people would be upset watching these kids trash them.
And so people know, Bimini has about 2000 people on it, maybe 2-3 of which would ever “beg” for money.
This is a very safe and friendly place to vacation, and to live.
These kids are entirely responsible for their nightmare vacation.

Plymouth senior Tanya Moutzalias knows living in downtown Mount Pleasant is not perfect.
Her loft near Michigan Street and University Street may not provide all the desired amenities or the coolest summers, and bar patrons rarely keep noise down at late hours of the night.
But Moutzalias, for the second year in a row, would not choose to live anywhere else.
“The place just has char-acter and that’s what I love about it,” Moutzalias said.
Moutzalias is one student living above a storefront in a downtown Mount Pleas-ant loft. Many of the lofts feature unique entrances,
high ceilings to accommo-date multiple floors and in-teresting window views of the downtown area.
“It’s an interesting place to live,” Moutzalias said. “Once people get a place downtown, they tend to stay in it.”
Students looking to live downtown may find the hardest part is first finding an available one.
Warren senior Dave La-fata is living in a downtown loft off Main Street for the second year in a row, af-ter finding the landlord through communication with previous tenants. La-fata believes the city atmo-sphere and downtown view from the windows make the location much more excit-ing.
He said he typically sees older students living in the lofts, citing the close prox-imity to the bars as one of the biggest perks for many students.
“I like the loft feel rather than a normal house,” Lafa-
ta said. “It’s a great change of pace from living close to campus.”
With the exception of the constant noise and lack of air-conditioning in the summer, Lafata said his downtown home is great.
“The heat in the summer is unbearable sometimes,” Lafata said. “You couldn’t even go up to the third floor.”
Walled Lake senior Sean Armstrong, a neighbor of Lafata’s, said he also really enjoys the unique feel of the lofts. Armstrong said the worst part is being with-out a washing machine, but he would much rather live downtown than in a messy student house.
“The coolest part is being outside of the usual college house environment,” Arm-strong said. “It’s different than any other place you could live in at Central.”

The Meals on Wheels Fit-ness event will give par-ticipants an opportunity to compete in running, bike-riding, canoeing and kaya-king activities on Sunday.
The 5K run and walk be-gins at 10 a.m. at Island Park’s west pavillion, 331 N. Main St.
The event was created by David McGuire, a former city commissioner.
“I used to ride the DAL-MAC bicycle tour,” Mc-Guire said. “At the same time, I was reading in the paper that the Commission on Aging was facing some serious budget cuts. So I decided to put together a fundraiser.”
The first time McGuire put on the event was in August 2010. Last year the event raised about $22,000.
“I personally will be run-ning 20 miles and riding 25 miles,” McGuire said.
The first event of the day will be a triathlon sched-uled to begin and end at Is-land Park. Participants will bike a 25-mile route ending at Deerfield County Park. They will then either kayak or canoe and finally race their way back to Chipp-A-Waters Park, 1403 W. High St.
Other individual events include a two-hour and four-hour kayak ride, two-hour and four-hour canoe event and a 10-mile and 25-mile bike, ride and a team triathlon.
“The person who brings in the most cash will win a bike from Motorless Mo-tion that was donated to us,” said Brenda Upton, executive director of Isa-bella County Commission on Aging. “We’re also going to have a kayak that we’re going to sell raffle tickets for.”
The registration fee is $100 for participants.
At the end of the day
there will be a picnic din-ner that will cost $8 for those who did not partici-pate in the event.
“I, along with other staff members from the Com-mission on Aging and vol-unteers, are going to be doing a lot of the organi-zational stuff,” Upton said. “Just making sure people are in the right places at the right time.”
The first $20,000 raised will be donated to the Com-mission on Aging Home Delivered Meals Program. Funds exceeding $20,000 will be split evenly between the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen, Goodrow Fund and Community Compassion Network, and the Commission on Aging.
“I was thrilled with the outcome last year,” Mc-Guire said. “We certainly hope to do better this year. Hopefully we can surpass last year’s amount.”

He was questioned about the financial feasibility of the current FA proposal and he said there were discus-sions about it between the bargaining teams.
“We’ve never stated we could not afford it,” Christie said.
Christie later said he still thinks what CMU is offering is a “competitive raise.”
Reappointment, tenure and promotion policies were
also discussed; CMU pro-poses to extend the time in rank from four to five years for promoted professors to receive their salary increase.
Martin said this change would match the timeline for other promotion salaries, and be consistent with com-parable universities.
Also discussed was the FA’s proposal to reduce the number of required meet-ings between college assis-tant or associate deans and FA members from twice a year.
Jennifer Green, history associate professor and FA bargaining team member, said the meetings were re-dundant because college
deans already have the au-thority to speak to faculty members who are not meet-ing their requirements.
Robert Martin, associ-ate vice provost of faculty and personnel services, said the meetings were a valu-able practice, because they provide the opportunity to make sure the FA member is successful.
The next fact-finding hearing will take place today at 10 a.m. in Powers Hall 136.

Artists match up with a hotel or restaurant they feel complements their artwork and who they are. Blem chose Stella’s Lounge in downtown Grand Rapids.
Wildey said ArtPrize has the conflicting potential of bridging and widening the
gap between artist and au-dience, and said there is a lot of associated spectacle and curiosity.
Wildey’s artwork is made up of superimposed digi-tal photographs of specific journeys. Wildey said opac-ity adjustments on each layer create a composite image where details dissi-pate and meld to produce an image with faint traces of each singular photo-graph, creating an implied
sense of the cumulative journey. Much like a short film compressed to a single frame, details disappear and in their place, only an impression persists, Wildey said.
“This has been a great opportunity for me to con-nect (and reconnect) with family and friends that may not understand my artistic practice,” he said.

Life was never the same for many American Muslims after the 9/11 attacks 10 years ago.
“9/11 woke a lot of Muslims up to the need to clearly distin-guish themselves from the radi-cal, violent fringe of the Islamic world,” said Hugh Talat Halman, Central Michigan University philosophy and religion assis-tant professor.
Halman said 9/11 created a need to explain the tenets of Is-lam more clearly and accurately. Before 9/11 he said he thought a lot of Muslims put up with the violent fringe of Islam, and after they tried to delineate the gap.
A 2007 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center found that Muslims in America reject extremism more often than Muslims globally, and the majority of Muslim Americans show concern about the poten-tial rise in extremism in the U.S. and abroad.
The survey also found 24 percent of the general public thought support for Muslim extremism was increasing,
but only 4 percent of Muslims agreed with that statement.
“There have been instances of violent acts, such as graffiti on mosques, with messages like ‘Go Home’, and most of the time the Muslims targeted are Ameri-can citizens,” Halman said.
Halman said after 9/11 it be-came critical for Muslims to share their faith with people and make it clear they are practicing for good and the purpose of peace.
“Islam literally means ‘surren-der’. The root of the word is the word for peace,” Halman said.
A 2011 poll conducted by the Abu Dhabi Gallup Center reported 89 percent of Muslim Americans believe attacks on civilians are “never acceptable.”
“The rules of war in Islam dictate that you cannot kill ci-vilians,” Halman said. “This is a precedent set by Mohammed himself.”
In a 2006 Gallup poll, Ameri-cans were asked what they admire most about the Mus-lim world. Twenty-five percent of participants answered “No opinion” and 32 percent an-swered “Nothing”.
Five years later, in a 2011 Pew
Research Center poll, 55 percent of Muslim Americans said they feel that it is more difficult being a Muslim in America after 9/11, up from 53 percent in 2007. However, in 2011, 37 percent of Muslim Americans said some-one in the past year expressed support for them, up from 32 percent in 2007.
Although support for Muslim Americans may have increased, issues involving Islam continue to cause controversy across the country.
The Park 51 mosque is a planned Muslim community center located two blocks away from Ground Zero in Manhat-tan. The plan for the mosque infuriated many people and was heavily featured as a topic of debate on commentary news networks.
“Increased education has helped to allay people’s con-cerns, but events around the Park 51 mosque have shown that even if animosity for Mus-lims has simmered down, then there’s still a little fire under the pot,” Halman said.

Silent StReetS,diSbeliefSharon Hall could smell
the twin towers burning from eight miles away at CMU’s off-campus location in Brooklyn, N.Y. The program administra-tor’s office is at Fort Hamilton, a military base that shut down in response to the attacks.
She’d been forced to park and walk a half-mile to gain ac-cess. Concern for family mem-bers was widespread among colleagues, she said, and their ability to contact them was limited.
But it was the walk to Fort Hamilton that Hall particularly recalled in the days leading up to the 10th anniversary of 9/11. No cars crossed the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. No planes flew in the air. New York City had fallen silent.
“It was just an eerie feeling at that time because if you’re in New York, there’s always traf-fic,” she said. “There’s always some type of noise and every-thing was just shut down.”
At about the same time 200 miles away, Barbara Jenkins was following the person in front of her out of her office, down the stairs and out of the Pentagon. A CMU off-campus program administrator like Hall, Jenkins said she could see fire shooting out of the oppo-site side of the building as peo-ple poured into the parking lot.
No one had any idea a plane had hit the building. It wasn’t until the news of the attacks in New York made its way to the capital that people began to connect the dots.
She, along with many others, walked to the nearby Pentagon Mall, where long lines formed at pay phones. People lost cell service and corridors of the closest highway were closed.
Jenkins remembers people driving by in cars shouting their destinations, in case oth-ers were looking for rides. The metro system was also closed, and unable to make her way home to Maryland, she even-tually stayed at the home of a colleague.
“No one really talked about what had transpired until maybe a couple weeks later, particularly when one of those individuals I commuted by train with was one of the peo-ple that lost their life,” Jenkins said. “It was a little difficult only because the last conver-sation we’d had was he going to take vacation with his fam-ily and he was going to Ha-waii, and for some reason, he returned to work on that day.”
Two off-campus CMU stu-dents at the Pentagon also lost
their lives that day, she said.Hall said she kept her win-
dows up as she traveled to her home — even farther from the towers than from the base. There, she said, the burning smell and a few particles from the collapsing buildings were in the air.
“It was just something that you couldn’t believe was hap-pening,” she said.
confuSion on campuS, elSewheRe
Students on CMU’s campus on 9/11 spoke mostly of their shock and uncertainty of how the U.S. would react to the at-tacks.
One student told CM Life she first mistook televised news reports for a movie, call-ing the events a tragedy. Oth-ers sat in front of the Bovee University Center, holding signs in what they called “Sit here for peace.”
2002 CMU alumna Sarah Leach was in her senior year and CM Life’s editor-in-chief. She said she first realized the enormity of what happened walking into the newsroom.
She hadn’t left the hall but once that day for fresh air, but right away she said she no-ticed a definite “aura of fear and confusion on campus.” Students stood in the street and leaned against trees — in tears.
Officer Jeff Browne of Mount Pleasant Police had worked the midnight shift and was sleeping when news of the attacks awoke him.
He said officers were called into his agency, as issues with traffic emerged and the city was put on standby to keep the public safe and “at peace.” Vehicles raced to local Mount Pleasant gas stations to fill up in fear of a shortage, price in-creases or something worse.
Vince Cavataio’s grandpar-ents were at his house when he and his mother arrived home. He said they tried to put the at-tacks into context for him.
In Detroit, his father had been in a meeting at the Re-naissance Center, which was under lockdown. The inability to reach him, Cavataio said, was an added stress.
He said he later talked with his cousin who was in her first week at a high school in lower Manhattan, and the way she described a sense of pandemo-nium was foreign to Cavataio.
“Just people flooding the streets from the school. They just left. And subways weren’t running. There were people all over the place, and no one knew where to go,” Cavataio said. “And we kept trying to contact family members. I re-member we did get in contact with some, but others we had
no way to contact them be-cause phone lines were down.”
It wasn’t until Leach left CMU’s main campus at 2 a.m. the next day, she said, that she let herself lose composure. She hadn’t shown any emotion that day, but broke down crying on the car ride home.
“I thought the world might end,” she said. “That feeling will always stay with me. It will always be a little bit of a fear inside of me that something like that could possibly happen again.”

In the weeks and months that followed 9/11, Keenan said she learned the attacks weren’t something that affected only the U.S.
She said with the start of the War on Terror, her neighbor was called to Afghanistan. Sud-denly, the individual she knew to tend to yards and trim lawns was in a National Guard uni-form.
“I remember (thinking), ‘I know this person. I’ve known him, he’s a family friend, and now he’s fighting in a war,’ which you know, is kind of dif-ficult to understand as a kid,” Keenan said.
She wasn’t alone when it came to having realizations af-ter the attacks.
Browne learned just how thankful the public became. Before, he said, policemen had just been the ones to write them tickets and citations.
“People would come up and say, ‘Thank you for doing what you do,’” Browne said. “You know, ‘Thanks for keeping us safe,’ or ‘Thanks for working the midnight shift.’ Even though we had nothing to do with what happened in New York, I think people were more thankful for what they had and where they lived.”
Jenkins said the events on 9/11 solidified a lesson in her that no matter how dangerous the world becomes or what events take place, not to let it instill a fear in the way she lives.
Some people, she said, had not returned to work at the Pen-tagon.
She remained, crediting her 18 and a half years in the U.S. Army in bearing the experience. She said she does hope talking about it helps others come to the same conclusion.
“If someone wants to do something, regardless of how many safe guards we have in place, if someone is determined enough to do harm to others, then they’re going to find a way to do it,” Jenkins said. “Our best bet is to try and pull together.”

Speak Up, Speak Out is invit-ing students to share how they have been shaped by September 11 at the forum, “10 Years after 9/11: What Have We Learned?”
The first SUSO forum of the school year will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday in the Bovee University Center Audito-rium. One of the discussion top-ics at the forum will be the U.S. foreign and domestic policy in response to the terrorist attacks.
Political Science Associate Professor David Jesuit will fa-cilitate the forum. He said Sep-tember 11 was a transformative event for many Central Michigan University students who were only 8 to 12 years old at the time, and the 10-year anniversary is a
good opportunity for students to talk about how they have been affected.
“This is kind of the ideal time to try to digest these questions,” he said. “I think its had a pretty profound effect on their percep-tion of foreign politics.”
Jesuit said he hopes people will come together as a commu-nity to reflect on all that has hap-pened in the decade since Sept. 11.
Thomas Stewart, a political science assistant professor, will focus on domestic policies and civil liberties. One controversial topic is the minority in the exec-utive branch who wants Ameri-cans to give up civil liberties in response to the Sept. 11 attacks, Stewart said.
“This is, I think, unpatriotic, and I think that Americans
should be very, very concerned about that,” he said.
Panelist Jacquelyn Keenan in-terned at the Department of De-fense in Washington D.C., where she had the opportunity to talk with military officials for the Middle East. The Rochester Hills senior said September 11. is still very relevant in foreign policy.
September 11 made Keenan more aware of where the U.S. stands in the international com-munity, fueling her interest in Middle Eastern politics, she said.
“It’s hard not to be political after you’ve lived through 9/11,” she said. “We have grown up with 9/11.”

9/11 topic of first SUSO forum
Freese believes CMU con-tains that piece.
“Because she got a season under her belt, I really feel she can step up and have a better feel of what to expect on game day and be able to be more consistent from game to game,” Freese said.
Netto also has high expec-tations.
“My goalkeeping coach
and I have actually talked about this a lot and I would like to be a first team All-MAC selection,” Netto said.
Freese pointed out that Netto performed well in the preseason.
“Last year we were teach-ing her a lot of things and in the game situations she was doing a lot of learning,” Freese said. “These first two
weeks were not teaching her as much as refining some things with her.”
Netto’s first season start-ing in 2010 contained mixed results.
“I thought she had some brilliant games last year, but as any young player and I think young in her experi-ence level, I think you’re going to have some incon-sistency in her play,” Freese said.
Freese said Netto’s low point of the season was against Mid-American Con-ference champion Kent State, when she allowed seven goals in 41 minutes of play.
“I didn’t think of benching her after that, I just think you want to just make sure she’s over it and moves on and makes the corrections she needs to make,” Freese said.
Netto seemed to put it behind her. She allowed five goals in the next three games, in an improved ef-fort against Kent State, she allowed four goals.
Freese and Netto’s coach-goalie relationship is what is expected.
“Sometimes she gets the extremes of me more than
other players,” Freese said. “Sometimes at the end of week I’ll leave her alone a little bit more and that being said, in the beginning I think there’s certainly times that I really get on her, especially now that she’s been in the program as long as she has.”
“Quiet” is how Freese de-scribes Netto. Furthermore, each and every sentence that comes from Netto is precise and well thought out.
“I think we all joke goal-keepers are a little different,” Freese said. “I think they have to be. They’re some-what isolated in practice. A lot of what they’re doing with their skill work is on their own.”
One of the many reasons Netto picked CMU was be-cause of the Chippewas’ coaching staff.
“Cristy and her staff were very welcoming to me when I first called them and spoke to them,” Netto said.
CMU also fits into her desire to major in account-ing. She also loves the city of Mount Pleasant.

SAFETYNETTOAnastasia Netto last defensive player before the net
By Jeff Papworth | Staff Reporter
Senior Anastasia Netto stands at one of the most unique spots in sports — between the posts.
With the position of goalie, Netto is the last person in defense of the net for Central Michigan field hockey.
Coach Cristy Freese points toward Netto as the difference-maker. She noted it’s of equal impor-tance to the quarterback in football, pitcher in baseball and point guard in basketball.
“We have to put a good defense around her,” Freese said. “We still have to score goals, so it’s not all on her, but I just know that good teams and the teams that are good in the conference have (goalies) that are certainly a key ingredient in most years,” Freese said.

In today’s society many student-athletes put athlet-ics before schooling.
The pressure to succeed on the field has become al-most as important, if not more so, than what the ath-letes do off the field.
For field hockey midfield-er Paulina Lee, her list of off-field activities is inconceiv-able. One wouldn’t believe she had time for her sport based on her resume.
“If you ever saw her re-sume, you would be im-pressed,” said Erin Dye, a teammate and fellow mar-keting major. “She is a large reason why other business majors and I have gotten more involved.”
That resume includes: a plethora of jobs for Alpha Kappa Psi, campus ambas-sador for Procter & Gamble for safe drinking water for children water, Boyne Re-
sorts receptionist, junior accountant executive for Ar-cher Inc., student marketing coordinator and assistant Chippewas Kids Club coor-dinator, and internship at Procter & Gamble, vice pres-ident of NCAA Student-Ath-letic Advisory Committee.
But that’s just outside of what she does when field hockey season comes around.
She won placement on the National Field Hockey Coaches’ Association Di-vision I academic squad, represented CMU at the inaugural NCAA Career in Sports Forum, was a Jane McNamara Scholar-Athlete recipient, also was a Chi Alpha Sigma (National Col-lege Athlete Society) 2011 inductee, was named a Dick Enberg Schloar-Athlete of the Year and 2011 Bill Boy-den Leadership Award win-ner.
Not to mention she cur-rently has a GPA ranging be-
tween 3.85-4.0. Paulina’s parents, Betty
and Paul Lee, emigrated from China to the U.S. to study in the states.
Her father Paul came from Hong Kong, attended Cor-nell for his undergraduate and attended the University of Rochester for his graduate studies, obtaining a PhD, as well as two masters degrees. He has also worked for Ko-dak Co. and Kodak-ITT Geo-spatial Systems.
Her mother Betty came from Macau and attended Nazareth College of Roches-ter during her undergradu-ate degree, and attended the Rochester Institute of Technology for her graduate studies where she received a Masters of Business Ad-ministration. She’s currently a bookkeeper at a Catholic church, but worked at Xerox Co.
Paulina also has an older sister, Christina Lee, who graduated from Cornell and
works as a scientist for John-son and Johnson, Inc.
“My parents have worked very hard to be where they are today,” Paulina Lee said. “My sister and I are also very close.”
Paulina’s work ethic both on and off the field most likely has a great deal to do with her parents ambitious approach for education, along with her high school atmosphere at Mendon High School in Pittsford, N.Y.
“In high school we were always encouraged to join a lot of things,” Lee said.
So that is what she did. Not just playing field hock-ey, she also played soc-cer and was involved in art classes, orchestra, choir, government, varsity club, French club, National Hon-ors Society and advanced placement courses.
“There were little cliques in high school and she didn’t

Ryan Radcliff was in sixth grade when terrorists flew planes into the twin towers.
Ten years later, the Central Michigan quarterback hasn’t forgotten about the tragic, scarred day in U.S. history.
“I remember when it first happened, I was sitting in my sixth grade class. It was very tragic and very sad for all the families and the country,” Radcliff said. “We’ll still re-member the ones we lost.”
Sunday marks the 10-year anniversary of the terrorist at-tacks on Sept. 11, 2001, which quickly brought Americans together.
For so many families it was hard to pick themselves up and get back to living their normal lives. Sports helped do that.
“It showed people that we’re going to carry on with our day-to-day operations,” said CMU football head coach Dan Enos.
The New York Yankees took a week off of playing before making a long postseason run to the World Series.
On Sept. 18, when they started playing again, they beat the Chicago White Sox’s 11-3, giving the city of New York and the rest of the coun-try a distraction to the devas-tation.
“Sports are great, one of America’s pastimes,” Radcliff said. “It’s good to show we’re still going strong. Still here alive, still happening. We’ve got to continue going.”
College and professional football took a week off after the attack before coming back to fans, pregame fields cov-ered with American flags dur-ing the national anthem and flyovers.
It took America more than nine and a half years to finally get the person responsible, but it still meant a lot to the country.
“We got Osama a few months ago,” said captain linebacker Mike Petrucci. “That was a big step for our country.”
No one can deny it brought the country together though, on and off the field.
“I know none of us will ever forget where we were when we first found out. It woke every-body up little bit,” Enos said. “I know it made me very, very proud of our nation. I think it brought our country closer to-gether. I don’t know if the ter-rorists had that plan going on into it.”

Football players reflect on Sept. 11
By Justin HicksStaff Reporter
The Central Michigan football team looks to snap its 0-5 all-time record against Kentucky at noon on Saturday when it heads to Lexington for the second game of the season.
CMU (1-0) opened with a 21-6 victory over South Carolina State Thursday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. KU came out on top of a close game (45-36) the last time these two teams met in Lex-ington in 2006.
The Chippewas run game showed improvements, led by a career-best 73-yard night for Zurlon Tipton. Sophomore Tim Phillips rushed for 25 yards and will play in his home state of Kentucky for the first time since his 2008 high school state championship run.
Although Tipton had the first breakout game for the Chippewas, Enos said he expects the bulk of the car-ries to change on a game-by-game basis as different guys stand out.
On the defensive side of the ball, Armond Staten, Mike Petrucci and Shamari Benton were all forced out of Thursday’s game because of injury, though all three starting linebackers are back in the lineup for Sat-urday.
“I’m 100 percent,” Petruc-ci said. “I think it was just a little dehydration (last week).”
On top of a healthy re-turning linebacker core, the team will also welcome back junior cornerback Lorenzo White, who was suspended for the season opener due to off the field issues.
“Lorenzo played some last year, so at least it’s an-other guy back there with some experience,” said CMU head coach Dan Enos. “Lorenzo had a really good fall camp and I know he’s excited to play and we’re ex-cited to have him back.”
The Wildcats (1-0) are coming off a 14-3 victory against Western Kentucky last week in which quar-terback Morgan Newton finished 7 of 18, with a touchdown pass and three interceptions. He proved his escape abilities, rush-ing for 63 yards on seven rushes.
The junior quarterback may be rushed a little more Saturday if senior right tackle Billy Joe Murphy and junior center Matt Smith

The Central Michigan field hockey team is unde-feated, for now.
This weekend it looks to continue that trend.
The Chippewas play at 2 p.m. Friday against the University of Michigan and then at 10 a.m. on Saturday against the University of Bucknell.
Michigan is ranked 14th in the nation and will be
one of the best teams CMU faces yet this season.
The Wolverines have won four of five games played between the two schools in the past five seasons.
“Michigan is always a good team to play,” head coach Cristy Freese said. “We go into every game thinking we can win. The players are going to be play-ing under a lot more pres-sure and I’m interested to see how we react to more speed and a better oppo-nent.”
The Wolverines (2-2) have played tough competition in their two losses with one
coming against No. 1 Mary-land and another against No. 2 North Carolina.
BUCKNELLBucknell has not had
much luck on the field this season. The Bisons started 0-3, yet to score a single goal.
This week during practice CMU continued to work on field execution, focusing in on passing up the field and converting more shots and corners.
“The team has been a little sluggish at practice this week,” Freese said. “ Wednesday practices are
tough with some players’ class schedules lapping over practice time, but I ex-pect the team to come out ready and focused for this weekend.”
Opening the season with two wins gives CMU confi-dence moving forward.
“We’ve stepped it up so far this year and we are playing with a more posi-tive outlook,” senior Mid-fielder Paulina Lee said. “The starters and the bench players know their roles on the team and we are looking forward to prove something this weekend.”
This week sophomore Ju-
lianna Makrinos won the State Farm Scholar-Athlete of the week. Makrinos is the first CMU field hockey play-er to win the award.
The Venetia, Pa. native scored three times in two games while also adding two assists, duplicating her totals for her entire fresh-man year.
“Its really nice that my hard work in school and on the field is recognized,” Makrinos said. “I couldn’t do it without my team-mates; they pass me the ball and I just tip it in.”

through the troubled time.“Saturday, gameday, every-
one comes together to have a good time,” Petrucci said. “I think sports really helped bring the country together.”
The city of New York was able to rally around the Yan-kees that fall. The Arizona Diamondbacks did beat them in the World Series, but it showed the world that America was back up and running.
“Sports were a great re-
lease and relief to watch col-lege football, professional football and major league baseball at the time,” Enos said.
As the 2011 football sea-son begins, it still offers a relief to students and fans. For different reasons with people going through differ-ent problems, but whether they’re at Kelly/Shorts Sta-dium or anywhere else, it helps bring people together as a university and society.
“Sports have a way to hon-or and glorify those people,” Enos said.

looked on the website I saw so many beautiful pictures of CMU’s campus,” Netto said. “It’s proven to be a very nice place to live.”
The climate is something she has become acclimated to after living in warm con-ditions year-round in her home country, the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
“Here, in August, people are running outside on the track at like 8 a.m. and she’s got a sweatshirt on because she thinks it’s cold and it was probably 70 degrees out,” Freese said.
When Netto was in mid-dle school, she became in-trigued with field hockey. Coaches at her secondary school recruited new mem-bers and Netto selected field hockey over soccer.
Netto first wanted to be a forward, but realized goalie was better suited for her skill set.
“My coach noticed I had very good reaction time, so she suggested I try that posi-tion if I ever wanted to get in the game,” Netto said.
Thereafter, she played for the Saint Joseph Convent field hockey club team and earned an invitation to play on the Trinidad junior na-tional team at the age of 15.
Netto continues to take pride in her role that few have the skills and charac-teristics to partake in.
“(You have to have) re-flexes, protective instincts and you really need to have a big heart,” Netto said. “Goal-ies are very passionate about what they do. If you’re not passionate of the goalie (posi-tion), I don’t think they’re go-ing to have a lot of success.”

are unable to return to the lineup. Both offensive linemen were held out of practice Wednesday be-cause of injury concerns.
“It’s not too often you catch them blowing a coverage,” said junior quarterback Ryan Rad-cliff. “Knowing that we’ve got to be sharp upfront and to sharpen our routs. We’ve got to take that fo-cus to another level on
our end.”The Wildcats’ Common-
wealth Stadium is one of three grass fields that CMU will play on this sea-son, though Enos is confi-dent in his players to make the adjustment.
“I’ve heard they have great grass, so I expect it won’t be too big of a chal-lenge,” Enos said. “From what I’ve heard, it’s won-derful, it’s fast, it’s short, it’s very well-maintained and I think our players will enjoy playing on it.”

get into that, she actually brought them together,” said Peggy Smith-Lewis, Lee’s high school coach. “She took the leadership roles even if they weren’t ap-pointed to her.”
Lee has appeared in 52 games, starting in 30, help-ing CMU advance to three Mid-American Conference semifinals since coming to CMU. Her highlights include scoring on a penalty stroke in a shootout against Ohio and having the winning as-sist last season against Prov-idence.
But despite all she is in-
volved in, she still has one true love.
“One of things I loved was the team and coaches Cristy (Freese) and Earl (Maris),” Lee said. “There were also a couple older girls who I had played on club teams with, so I had a family out there already.”

Michigan State opened with a 22-point victory Friday.
The Spartans likely spent the rest of the Labor Day weekend looking at tape and realizing they have a lot to improve.
There wasn’t any position group that could leave Spartan Stadium following the 28-6 vic-tory over Youngstown State feel-ing they’d played a great game.
“Week one to Week two is typically your greatest improve-ment, so that’s obviously what we’re working for,” said senior quarterback Kirk Cousins. “Next week will be very important to make sure we clean things up.”
Junior defensive tackle Jerel Worthy said MSU’s perfor-mance should motivate a lot of players to work harder this week in practice.
“You can take a lot from this game,” Worthy said. “We can al-ways improve. We won 28-6, but in all honestly, if we played to the best of our ability, we probably could have won by a lot more.
“We have a ways to go. The first game, you just want to get in and evaluate players, take your time and feel each other out a little bit.”
Worthy later said the 22-point victory could have been “by 40 points.”
“Offensive and defensive line, we have to work together to get each other better,” he said. “Prac-tice will be interesting this week.”
Senior safety Trenton Robin-son said, “When we watch film, everybody’s going to be like, ‘We could have executed better.’”
Robinson said guys are still adjusting to teammates and trying to build trust with one another.
“I feel like that’s something that gets better as the season goes on — trust in your team-mates,” Robinson said. “Real-izing, ‘I’m not the only guy out here. I can play my leverage and do my job.’ We had some of that last year, but as the season goes on we’ll get better.”
The Spartans face Florida At-lantic at noon Saturday at Spar-tan Stadium. It might seem like
deja vu for some returning play-ers.
The Spartans left last year’s opener with similar thoughts that they didn’t play as well as they should have.
They beat Western Michigan at home, 38-14. The teams were tied at 7 after the first quarter before the Spartans scored 21 points in the second quarter .
The Spartans followed the opener with Florida Atlantic at Ford Field. The Spartans won 30-17, but that game could have been a lot closer. The Owls trailed by 16 with less than three minutes left and faced fourth-and-goal at the MSU 6 when FAU coach Howard Schnellen-berger called for a field goal. He later apologized to his team for “not giving them the opportu-nity to win.”
Had the Owls scored a touch-down and a two-point conver-sion, they would have had a chance for an onside kick to try to tie.
Schnellenberger has an-nounced this will be his last sea-son at FAU.

Brady Hoke and his Michigan coaching staff have insisted they will maintain a high standard.
More proof came Monday when Hoke recapped Saturday’s 34-10 win over Western Michi-gan. He identified a few things that pleased him (190 rushing yards in three quarters, the quar-terback pressure after defensive adjustments, flow and momen-tum in the second and third quarters), and added that the Wolverines “learned a lot, team-wise” from facing Western.
“There were probably a lot of things I was very unhappy with,” he said at his weekly media brief-ing.
“We’ve got to play better run defense, we’ve got to play tighter
coverage in zone, we’ve got to be able to pressure the quarterback with four guys at times, or three guys at times,” he said. “We had some missed alignments based on (lack of) communication you can’t have.
“From an offensive stand-point, we took care of the foot-ball, but there were a couple de-cisions we need to make better decisions with. We’ve got to do a better job staying on blocks down the field, because there were opportunities for other big-ger plays. Our routes, we broke a couple of them off early, a receiv-er has to be more disciplined, es-pecially in a timing phase of the passing game.
“Then the kicking game. Our kicking game will get a lot of at-tention from where we place the ball on the kick, to how we get
off blocks going down the field. Obviously, we’re going to give a lot of attention to PAT and field goal protection on the inside. You can’t get knocked back. I could go to the punt team, kickoff return, better decision taking the ball out of the end zone, getting on guys a little better.
“This could be a marathon (explanation).”
It wasn’t complaining, though. It was more analysis.
Coaches always say the week after the first game is their best opportunity to teach because they see how their team and spe-cific players performed in real situations. For U-M, it usually takes a greater premium because the second game is against the Irish, an intense rival and usually more talented than the opening opponent.

Confidence is high going into the weekend for the Cen-tral Michigan volleyball team.
The Chippewas (2-3) travel to Indianapolis, Ind. for the Butler Tournament at 2:30 p.m. today against Austin Peay (2-5). Following is a two-game double header at 11 a.m. on Saturday against Elon and at 6 p.m. that evening against host Butler.
“I want to see my studs be studs, my role players do what they do and I want to see (us) do what I know we can do,” said head coach Erik Olson. “I expect to win and for our pro-gram to establish their will this weekend.”
The (Austin Peay) Governors are no pushovers. They have played against No. 35 Missouri and Auburn who made it to the second round of the tourna-ment last season.
“Austin Peay has played a fairly tough schedule, their record isn’t great, but they’re pretty good,” Olson said. “They just haven’t put the nail in the
coffin yet.”The team will have ju-
nior right side hitter Jocelyn VerVelde this weekend, who is eligible to play. She has been in and out for a while, one part ly-because of the underclassmen players.
“She’s a full go and now I have to figure out if she has had enough practice to make a difference,” Olson said. “(Val) DeWeerd has been do-ing pretty good and has been really good off (Kelly) Maxwell where VerVelde has been good with (Catherine) Ludwig so it depends on our setters.”
Just as one recovers, another goes down.
Senior middle blocker Kait-lyn Schultz sat out of practice all week, but is expected to play.
“I just strained a muscle in my calf and it’s a lot better to-day than it was in the begin-ning of the week,” Schultz said. “It’s just a minor injury from last weekend.”
With Schultz feeling good and VerVelde returning to the lineup, along with the under-classmen gaining experience,
there is no reason why CMU shouldn’t be excited for this weekend.
“We need to take it one play at a time, communicate, over-exaggerate things and just play together,” Schultz said. “I expect to go 3-0 and that should the expectation for ev-erybody.”
This is the first time the Chippewas will not have to play the host team in game one of the tournament.
“That has been the case and it’s been the home opener for both of them and I do think that is a dynamic that stinks for us,” Olson said.
In those previous games CMU has come out slow. Olson and his staff have been work-ing hard to prevent that from happening again.
“We need to be a little more disciplined,” Olson said. “We have had a lot of stop-ping in practice lately, point-ing out six or seven things that are the difference be-tween winning and losing.”
Volleyball team remains confident entering weekend Butler Tournament
FILE PHOTO BY JEFF SMITHThe CMU volleyball team looks comes into the Butler Tournament with expectations high after sweeping Wright State last weekend.
The first few games of a new season can make or break a team’s chances for greatness.
So far, the Central Michigan field hockey team has domi-nated the competition, beat-ing the University of St. Louis and Robert Morris University by a combined score of 10-1.
The offense has been exe-cuting and scoring at will and the defense has controlled the game, keeping CMU on the attack.
Its seems everything is working for head coach Cristy Freese and in return, the team’s confidence couldn’t be higher.
I don’t want to be the guy to burst everybody’s high hopes for this season. I wish I could tell you that CMU will go undefeated, win the Mid-American Conference championship and peace and prosperity will be had by all.
However, there’s just one problem.
They haven’t played any competition yet.
Let’s start with Saint Louis, CMU’s first opponent of 2011.
In the past two seasons combined, The Billikens have not won five games.
Not three or even two. They have one win in two seasons.
The last time Saint Louis won a game before this season was Sept. 9, 2009. Somehow CMU’s 6-0 victory to start the season doesn’t seem so impressive any-more.
Robert Morris, CMU’s sec-ond opponent, couldn’t be as bad as Saint Louis right? Well it’s true because the only win Robert Morris has this season is a 4-1 victory against the Billikens.
It’s similar to the Detroit Tigers winning its first two games against the Kansas City Royals.
It’s expected to happen. Good teams win the easy games and are competi-tive against higher ranked teams, so we have yet to see what CMU can truly do.
Don’t get me wrong, a win is a win no matter who you face. CMU only has to get three more wins to duplicate their five-win total from last year.
To me, the season starts this weekend in Ann Arbor. The University of Michigan will be the Chippewas first true challenge on the field. This game will show what this team is really made of and if they have a chance to do something great this year.
No. 14 Michigan will be prepared to welcome the undefeated Chippewas Fri-day and I’m not so optimis-tic about the result.
Michigan just played the top two teams in the nation. Losing to No. 1 Maryland and No. 2 North Carolina.
Michigan knows its sea-son is already off track with two losses and a third could finish the hopes for the
season before it starts.The Wolverines should be
playing their best field hockey.I hope I’m wrong. It’d be
nice to see this university win by 10 goals and snap the 11-game losing streak against top 25 opponents and win every game.
If CMU competes against Michigan and wins against Bucknell, it would show that this team legitimate.
If the Chippewas get em-
barrassed by Michigan and lose to Bucknell, who hasn’t scored a goal yet this season, it will show that the first two wins mean nothing and CMU will have to go back to the drawing board.
I expect the field hockey team to return to Mount Pleasant with a 1-1 record over the weekend, losing to Michigan.
The ball is on CMU’s stick. They can prove to me that they deserve to be ranked in the top 25.
They can also prove that the first weekend was a fluke and it will be another subpar season for field hockey.
In a few days we will know what this team is actually capable of.

Season gets underway this weekend S TA F F V I E W P O I N T : F I E L D H O C K E Y
By Brian HamiltonMCT
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — In gauging how Tommy Rees will function Saturday night in the suffocating maw of Michigan Stadium, know that Notre Dame’s new starting quarterback has played against Michi-gan and completed a pass against Michigan.
He completed it to Michi-gan, of course, on his first college throw. So be opti-mistic. As with many other areas this week for the Irish, there is nowhere to go but up.
“That was kind of my wel-come-to-college-football moment,” Rees said with a chuckle Tuesday after he was pegged as the starter. “Obviously things didn’t end up how I envisioned my first collegiate pass or se-ries going.”
Less laughably, Rees sup-plants first-game starter Dayne Crist with the dead-serious mandate to steer the Irish (0-1) back on course. The episode against
the Wolverines in 2010 is in-structive for Rees in 2011, if only because it demon-strates that production is the lone way to stay where he is.
It may be perceived as callous, reactive or unfair, but it’s the way Irish coach Brian Kelly operates. Crist, who wasn’t available for comment, posted a 7-for-15, 95-yard effort in the sea-son opener. Rees threw for 296 yards and two touch-downs in the second half. Rees starts. End of talk.
“(Rees) knows what I’ve told him: You have to be productive,” Kelly said. “If you’re not, you should be looking over your shoulder. If you’re a productive quar-terback doing the things we ask you to do, you should just play the game the way you know how.”
That Rees seemed un-moved by this might explain why he’s 4-0 as a starter with two stellar relief out-ings in two seasons.
“I just have to do what I can to help this team win,” Rees said. “If I do that, I re-
ally don’t need to be think-ing about everything else that’s going on. I just have to focus on myself and be-ing the best quarterback for this team.”
Kelly hastened to say Crist “did some really good things” and has more than an adequate grasp of the offense. But somehow Rees injected verve into the at-tack that otherwise wasn’t there.
“The difference between being good and great some-times is being decisive,” Kelly said.
Indeed, Rees assumed responsibility Tuesday for an interception that wasn’t his fault. Of Michael Floyd, he said “we’re a better team when the ball is in his hands.” He swiftly and eas-ily took ownership of a spot that had been his for only a day.
He will be judged on how that translates to Saturdays.
“It’s not about who’s out there,” tailback Cierre Wood said. “It’s about what we’re doing while we’re out there.”
Rees knows he must produce to keep job

Central Michigan field hockey captains, Brooke Si-hota and Paulina Lee look to use their roles to hold the balance of the Chippe-was chances of winning a Mid-American Conference championship.
“The best part about Brooke and I being captains together is I think we defini-etly balance out each others leadership styles because our personalities balance each other out,” Lee said.
Sihota said she is easy go-ing, while Lee is organized.
“If everyone knew us per-sonally, they would know that, holy moly, Paulina and Brooke are so completely opposite, but we get along so well,” Sihota said.
Sihota and Lee seem to have an understanding of their role as captains.
“As our coach says, ‘What’s the pulse of your team?” Lee said. “Are they happy, are they unhappy and how to monitor that and make sure everyone’s on the same page.”
Although Sihota and Lee will lead a young team, CMU head coach Cristy Freese has given them responsibili-ties — but makes sure not ask too much of them.
“I think that they don’t have to carry the whole bur-den in their play,” Freese said. “The communication and getting our team set-tled down or focused on the game plan is that’s some-thing they do really well.”
Sihota and Lee add while the team is young, team chemistry has grown from spring play and summer camps.
“We worked hard and well with our coaches, so we tightened as a team, so com-ing back it felt like everyone was an experienced player,” Lee said.
Freese noted the impor-tance of them having a good relationship with the coach-es.
“That’s important too be-cause they’re not just the players captains, they’re the
coaches’ captains too, so they have to be able to com-municate with me as well as the team,” Freese said.
Much like their person-alities, Sihota and Lee bring different things to the field.
“Brooke’s greatest thing that she brings is just knowl-edge of the game and the ability to read the game,” Freese said. “Paulina brings something different to the field. I think she’s such an athlete; she’s got great speed and I feel like now as a senior, she just has a re-ally good sense of the game plan.”
One facet of the game fans will find both players in is during the penalty corner.
Sihota is the inserter and Lee is the stick-stop. They have been key contributors in the penalty corner for much of their careers.
“Last year actually, there was a point where both of them were injured and I re-ally thought that hurt us not only on their overall game, but the fact that it just took
two people out of our penal-ty corner unit,” Freese said.
A prelude to their future success is their previous ac-colades.
Sihota was a second team All-MAC selection, last sea-son, while Lee earned the Bill Boyden Leadership Award along with holding a 3.85 GPA.
However, a MAC champi-onship is the main objective they are striving for this sea-son.
“To be honest, they would rather be remembered as bringing our team to a championship in their se-nior year,” Freese said.
Sihota and Lee agree with that assessment.
“You want to leave a leg-acy right? We haven’t won a MAC championship since 2005 and I think coming out as seniors and captains, both Brooke and I want to leave that legacy, that in 2011 we got our MAC cham-pionship,” Lee said.

The Central Michigan wom-en’s soccer team puts its 26-game home unbeaten streak on the line at 5 p.m. Friday when it hosts the University of Pitts-burgh at the CMU Soccer Com-plex.
Then, it travels to Ann Arbor for a game at 6 p.m. on Sunday against the University of Michi-gan.
After playing the previous four games on the road, the team looks forward to be back to playing on its home turf.
“It’s been great that we’ve done well on the road,” said ju-nior defender Bailey Brandon. “But it’s definitely an advantage for us to be home this week-end.”
Although the Chippewas came away with a win and an overtime loss last weekend against two difficult opponents in Kentucky and Louisville, head coach Neil Stafford would still like to see his team focus on a couple of key aspects.
“I would like to see us mature a little bit more,” Stafford said. “I think things are going pretty good right now, but I think mentally and emotionally, I’d like to see us get a little bit stron-ger and just deal with adversity a little bit better.”
In order to prepare for Pitts-burgh and U-M, the team has been focusing on improving a lot of tactical issues this week in practice.
“We just need to clean up things technically and make sure that we’re having some great movement off the ball,” Brandon said.
Pittsburgh (1-3-2) comes off a 3-0 loss to Penn State last Sunday, looking to regain some confidence with a victory against CMU.
The Panthers are led by ju-nior forward Ashley Cuba. She has scored four out of the team’s five goals so far this season.
CMU fell to Pittsburgh 2-1 in the only other meeting between the two schools back in 2001.
MICHIGANSunday’s game against the
Wolverines will be the third ever between the two pro-grams.
U-M (4-2) has won the first two games by a score of 1-0 in 2003 and 4-3 in 2009.
They feature a strong, bal-anced offensive attack while scoring 13 in goals in its first six games.
Leading the way for the Wol-verines is sophomore Nkem Ezurike and junior Clare Sta-chel, who each have three goals on the season.
However, U-M also looks to rebound from a 3-0 loss to No. 24 Pepperdine last Sunday.
Six different players have scored this season for the
Chippewas as they hope their scoring depth will be a major factor in the games this week-end.
“I think it’s definitely a huge positive impact for our team,” Brandon said. “If one of us is having an off day, another one (player) is going to pick up the slack, so I definitely think it’s a positive thing, because we are going to come at you from all angles.”
CMU will host the first an-nual Maroon Across the Map Day at Friday’s game to cel-ebrate the international diver-sity on campus.

Sihota, Lee lead field hockey team
“We worked hard and well with our coaches, so we tightened as a team, so coming back it felt like everyone
was an experienced player.”Paulina Lee, field hockey captain
The junior wide receiver was quoted in the AP saying by the CMU game is a “get-better” game before the SEC.
Reason to watch: He only had one reception for 34 yards in the win against WKU, but did say it was a “get-better” game for Ken-tucky. This could fuel CMU.
The freshman running back was one of two primary ball carriers for the Wildcats, scor-ing the only rushing touch-down in the win against WKU.
Reason to watch: Senior Raymond Sanders is the projected starter, but Clemons could change that with a strong performance
Newton wasn’t exactly efficient against West-ern Kentucky in week one, going 7-of-18, with three intercep-tions.
Reason to watch: He looks to improve on his week one per-formance. He had flashes of ex-plosiveness against WKU.

Chippewas
R a d c l i f f looks to im-prove after throwing as many touch-downs as in-tercept ions in week one
Reason to watch: The run game showed improve-ments in the second half. If that continues, Radcliff should have a better day through the air.
Petrucci is coming off an injury in week one’s 21-6 win against South Carolina State, but will play against Ken-tucky.
Reason to watch: He had four tackles in the game, with 2.5 for a loss (most on the team) before leaving the game be-cause of injury.
Tipton rushed for a career-high 73 yards in the week one win.
Reason to watch: He was the primary ball career on a team that could feature as many as four backs. If he per-forms well, he could slowly win the starting job.
By Matt Thompson Ass is tant Spor ts Edi tor
The last time Central Michigan faced an SEC opponent it was at No. 1 Georgia, where the Bull-dogs won big.
The Kentucky Wildcats, who CMU faces Saturday, are far less talented than Matthew Stafford’s Geor-gia team, but still hold an all-time 5-0 record against the Chippewas.
Last week, the Wild-cats struggled out of the gates against West-ern Kentucky. It was still a four-point game into the fourth quarter until the Wildcats won 14-3.
Western Kentucky actu-ally outgained Kentucky 234 yards to 190, but the Wildcats defense forced four interceptions to aid the offense.
Kentucky junior quar-terback Morgan Newton has a lot of athleticism. Last week when a pass play broke down he was able to cut up the middle for a gain of 58 yards.
“When Morgan threw the ball he did a decent job, not great,” head coach Joker Phillips said. “We need to improve in all areas on our offense.”
Phillips’ defense is an-other story.
Even though the Wild-
cats allowed 234 yards, they kept Western Ken-tucky out of the end zone and was opportunistic with the turnovers to set up the offense.
“( The defense) was dominant in the first game and smothered their first opponent,” said CMU head coach Dan Enos said. “They got some great players on defense; it’s go-ing to be a challenge.”
BURSTING ONTO THE SCENE
Running back Josh Clemons played in his first college game last week, rushing for 39 yards and a touchdown. Phillips
wanted to give the 5-foot-10, 201 pound freshman more carries, but the game didn’t work out that way.
“The Clemons kid we think has a chance to be a big-time back in this league for a long time,” Phillips said.
Clemons averaged 3.5 yards a carry while split-ting time with sophomore Raymond Sanders III.
“They’ve got that fresh-man tailback that’s going to be a very good player,” Enos said. “We can’t allow the explosive plays.”
Enos went on to say how the CMU defense has to tackle with these athletic, offensive weap-
ons. He spoke about how Kentucky recruits “SEC players,” meaning big,
athletic and fast.“We expect them to be a
big SEC team,” said CMU linebacker Mike Petrucci. “They’re big guys. We have to beat them with speed.
INJURY REPORTDuring the SEC coaches
teleconference Phillips talked about his banged up offensive line.
During the fall camp, only one lineman missed practice, and he went down in the first game.
Kentucky’s starting cen-ter will be out Saturday and the right tackle is listed as doubtful.
