Police offer medical amnesty

By Jacob KahnStaff Reporter

Michigan police departments practice medical amnesty, which means overlooking alcohol viola-tions to encourage dangerously intoxicated people, or those with them, to call for help.

The state adopted Public Act 125 in 2012 in the interest of protecting minors. The law provides which circumstances will exempt someone from being charged with an MIP or other alcohol related violations, stating, “A minor (under the age of 21) who, after consuming alcohol, voluntarily presents himself or herself to a health facility or agency for treatment or observa-tion,” is guaranteed amnesty from criminal charges stemming from the possession of alcohol.

Mount Pleasant Police Depart-ment Public Information Officer Jeff Browne said the city was practicing medical amnesty long before it was a law.

“When someone calls us for an emergency, our priority is not to write as many citations as possible,” Browne said. “People think that the only job of the police is to write tickets and cita-tions. We’re here to help you and keep you safe.”

For students living in residence halls, calling the police for help during an alcohol-related emer-gency should be an easy decision.

Residence Life reported 49 transports to the hospital for alcohol related emergencies in the 2014-15 academic year, 37 in the fall semes-ter and 12 in the spring. Of those transports, 10 were non-Central Michigan University guests in the Residence Halls.

Holly freshman Paige Baker said helping an overly intoxicated friend can be scary, but not as scary as what can happen from ignoring the problem.

“Earlier this semester our friend had too much to drink,” Baker said. “We weren’t sure if we needed to call anyone, we thought he could probably sleep it off, but when we tried to help him back to his room he crawled into a wall and smashed his head.”

Baker and her roommates notified their Residence Assistant who called police and paramedics for the intoxicated student.

Associate Director of Residence Life Michelle Veith said students can always count on being pro-tected under medical amnesty.

“If alcohol is still in the room, we’re going to dump it,” Veith said. “We’re not going to write you up.”

Once a student calls for help, police and paramedics arrive on the scene and notify Residence Life staff. The residence hall director also arrives on the scene. The primary goal of paramedics is to determine how much the per-son in question has actually had to drink, and whether or not they need to be taken to the hospital.

If a student is escorted to the hospital, Residence Life staff will notify the emergency contact and provide them with contact infor-mation for the hospital.

Veith said the philosophy of Res-idence Life is to support students.

CMU grad and newly appointed speaker of the state house aims to foster stronger relations in state government

By Adrian HeddenNews Editor

Comfortable in a small, downtown Mount Pleasant law firm the thought of public office never crossed Kevin Cotter’s mind.

As he engaged in the daily work-ings as partner at Kerr Law Firm, PLLC, Cotter shared opinions about state politics, but never considered leading the conversation.

That was 2009.Today Cotter is the speaker of the

Michigan House of Representatives, leading an essential arm of the state legislature. The 1999 Central Michi-gan University business graduate is determined to lead Michigan as it begins to overcome a trying economic climate.

“I was very opinionated as to the direction of our state,” he said. “I finally decided it was time for me to stop complaining and get involved.”

Cotter explained the struggling state economy, along with the grow-ing needs of college students, lead to his first run for state representa-

MillEniAls hAvE littlE intErEst in PoliticsBy Brianne Twiddy

Megan Stinson gets frustrated when she sees students her age not voting.

Her generation “one of the biggest, but very unorganized,” Stinson said. She feels that despite what she finds to be a lack of faith in her generation, they have poten-tial to make the most significant change in politics.

“It’s our responsibility as people in a democracy to vote,” said the Mount Pleasant freshman. People think they have a right to complain about things if they don’t vote, but no, that’s stupid. You can’t say voting doesn’t matter and then complain about things.”

For instance, in the 2014 guber-natorial election, about 245,000 voters were under 30 years of age — 8 percent of the 3 million who voted in Michigan altogether.

Though Stinson thinks her

generation needs to take greater in-terest in government, disinterest in politics is not specific to Millenials.

Kevin Cotter paid little attention to politics while attending Central Michigan University.

Fifteen years after he graduated from CMU, he’s the Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives.

Cotter understands that students are busy. However, with the number of groups on campus promoting participation, he said students have easy access to get in-volved and have their voices heard.

“We are working on our next budget. All of these decisions directly impact young people,” he said. “I look at that and think that I should have been more interested earlier than I was. We’re mak-ing a lot of decisions that affect students directly. Coming back to the financial side of it and the

In his excitement, Benja-min Hunt dropped one of his first place ribbons he won in the unusually loud Veterans Memorial Library at the Lego brick-building contest.

“I love Scooby Doo, and Legos are awesome!” Hunt said.

The eight-year-old Mount Pleasant resident and his parents, Susan and Dell Hunt, constructed a detailed “Scooby Doo Mystery Inc.” scene, earning them first place for the group category and people’s choice award.

The award ceremony for the seventh annual Lego brick-building contest at the Veterans Memorial library was sponsored by the Central Michigan University College of Science and Technology. The event brought the Mount Pleasant community together on Thursday night, with more than 250 people in attendance. The annex room of the library was packed as residents came to see their Lego masterpieces, and to admire the craftsman-ship of others as they voted for the people’s choice award be-fore winners for each category were announced.

“Here at the library, we are more than just books,”

said Barbara Sanford, Youth Collections and Programming coordinator. “The Lego contest has grown steadily every single year. Legos are pretty universal, so there are a lot of different people and ages that participate.”

Because of the wide appeal of the building blocks, age groups for the competition ranged from kindergarten to adult in addi-tion to the team category.

This was Larry Kole’s fifth time participating in the Lego competition. He took home another first place ribbon to add to his collection. Building with Legos is a good hobby for the Rosebush retiree, who makes original Lego models of things like bulldozers, cranes and trucks that have moving parts involved. The intricately custom-designed crane he made this year had about 1,700 individual pieces total.

“This keeps me motivated and thinking about engineering and trying to make stuff work when it looks just about impos-sible,” Kole said. “I do wish that more adults would participate in the competition.”

Eight-year-old Nathan Kepner of Mount Pleasant showed a part of his Lego cre-ation where he had to improvise with his building plan.

“I made a building of a

Subway restaurant,” Kepner said. “The wall was about to fall apart, so I just added a piece to support it.”

Kepner pointed to the Lego characters in his building. They were seated at long tables and posed holding what resembled submarine sandwiches.

“My favorite part about this is the stories and creative imagination that is behind these pieces,” said guest judge Rob Wang, Central Michigan University’s coordinator of communications for the College of Science and Technology.

Mount Pleasant resident Suzanne Prewett, 11, skillfully maneuvered a robot through a minecraft obstacle course that

was not part of the competi-tion, but was on display at the event. Prewett and the six other members of the Mount Pleasant Lego Club helped

build the display.“I programmed it to run

through this door, turn around and come back to me,” Prewitt said.

Tunes at Noon showcases local talent

By Lexi CarterStaff Reporter

Singing every word, Ryan Anderson serenaded Central Michigan University’s Bo-vee University Center with the recent radio sensation “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran.

The CMU alumnus’ per-formance was part of 1892 Productions’ Tunes at Noon event, which is hosted twice a month on Wednesdays in the UC Student Lounge.

The show is designed to allow students to listen to local artists perform.

Elsie sophomore and 1892 employee Stephanie White said attendance has fluctu-ated, but with new market-ing and social media tactics, turnout for has increased.

“Word of mouth is the best way to promote things, so individuals who come and tell their friends help,” White said.

Anderson, a 2013 gradu-ate, returned to CMU to perform Feb. 25. He sang a set of eight songs, with a couple originals.

“I want to get enough (songs) to eventually put out a full album. At the end I’ll compile it all and put out a CD,” he said.

Anderson’s setlist ranged from Beyonce to Coldplay. He said he draws his musi-cal inspiration for all types of music.

Anderson said the best part of performing at Tunes at Noon was the interaction he has in the UC’s intimate setting.

whenever they need to,” Veith said. “We want them to live to see the next day. Nobody wants to be pack-ing up a dorm with the parents of a student who has passed away.”

About 1,800 college students 18 to 24-years-old die each year from alcohol related injuries, according to the National Institute on Al-cohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

CMU Police Department Lt. Larry Klaus said attitudes toward drinking in college has changed a lot. Binge drinking has become a cause for concern.

“Did kids drink in college 20 or 30 years ago?” Klaus said. “Yeah, of course. But we used to drink beer. We didn’t drink a dozen shots of whis-key in a matter of minutes.”

Klaus attributed the high number of alcohol-related emergencies to the way people drink, and said that these emergencies are easily preventable.

“You have to be respon-sible about drinking,” Klaus said. “Set boundaries with your friends. Make those choices when you’re sober and thinking clear.”

CMUPD Cpt. Fred Har-ris said the next best way to prevent alcohol-related injuries and fatalities is to call for help.

“If you see a student in need, call us right away,” Har-ris said. “Our goal isn’t to jam you up, or to write everyone an MIP. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and breathing.”Baylen Brown | Staff Photographer

When Central Michigan Univer-sity Police got the call that a student’s mother had been killed in a traffic accident and had no means to reach her hospitalized father, Lt. Larry Klaus knew he had to help reunite the family.

On the night of Nov. 30, Mount Mor-ris Township Officers were dispatched to a fatal accident on South Bound I-75 and Pierson Road according to a Mount Morris Township police report. At the site, a suspected drunk driver plowed into the back of Eric and Shel-ley Lazarus’ vehicle, killing Shelly on impact.

That night, the life of CMU sophomore Emma Lazarus’ was changed forever.

With no way to get to her parents, CMUPD officers offered to drive Laza-rus to the Flint-area hospital where her comatose father was recovering from his injuries.

“I have kids that are at university. A lot of the officers have kids that attend college – we kind of look at (students) like they’re our own kids,” Klaus said. “We want to take care of them.”

Although Klaus was not one of the officers to deliver the news to the student directly, he will never forget that moment.

“It’s difficult,” Klaus said, after a reflective pause. “As a person on the receiving end and a person being the one who communicates that message, that will be a message that you –as the receiver – remember for the rest of your life.”

CMU Police Sergeant Riley Olson, Officer Scott Malloy and Officer Mark Smoker were the officers who informed Lazarus of the accident.

“I had been talking to the officer who had dealt with the accident on the phone, so that I could tell him where we were and where we were going to meet,” Malloy said.

Driving through the night in si-lence, Malloy and Smoker took Laza-rus to meet Mount Morris Township Officer Kurtis Hissong. Determined to reach her parents’ side, Lazarus was silent during the ride.

Hissong proceeded to drive her the rest of the way to the hospital where she would find her father was held in critical condition, fighting for his life.

Reaching outFor the three CMU police officers,

the job took on a new meaning that night with Lazarus.

From transporting her to the hospi-tal from school and checking up on her physical and mental health post-inci-dent, CMUPD wanted to show they were there for Lazarus no matter what she needed.

Although Lazarus had few words to say pertaining to the incident, she expressed gratitude to the officers who assisted in her transportation to her father’s side.

“The police around here seem like a good bunch of people,” Lazarus stated.

Trying memories such as the Laza-rus’ tragic accident aren’t common for the 22 sworn CMU police officers. But with the four officers working the day shift and three working nights, are more than willing to step up when special circumstances arise.

Not only enforcing the laws of cam-pus, and working in tandem with other local agencies, CMUPD also directs Parking Services on campus.

CMUPD functions with an operat-ing budget of $2.3 million each year.

The department employs six dispatchers, two office managers, one parking manager, four parking assistants and one service officer. It also employs 36 students who work as SafeRide drivers, building security guards, parking enforcement workers and lost and found employees.

CMUPD officers volunteer across campus. Officer Laura Martinez hosts Zumba classes, while Officer Riley Olson works with Special Olympics Michigan, joining in the annual torch run.

Officers also host a coffee and ques-tion session in the Bovee University Center, where students answer ques-tions in a safety quiz and share a cup of coffee with officers.

a little ‘old School’ compaSSionTransports like this, though uncom-

mon, are “just the right thing to do,” according to Klaus.

“We had a student in need, we had the available resources, and as a police department we did what any other police department would do,” he said.

The Mount Morris Police depart-ment thanked CMU officers in a letter, commending them for their work.

“Many of my officers learned a valu-able lesson — working together to help a family out,” read the letter from Lt. Matthew Laskey. “I was glad to see a

little ‘old school compassion’ still exists in our profession.”

Although CMUPD Chief Bill Yeagley commended his staff for its work, he said that it’s “just not who they are” for officers to go seeking praise for community work.

“Even something as simple as calm-ing someone down at a traffic stop, it would be very easy for us to say, ‘You’re speeding, here’s your ticket don’t do it again, bye,’” Lt. Cameron Was-sman said. “But if we see that there’s something going on, we’ll interact and hopefully make a difference.”

That making a difference in students’ lives, Yeagley said, is what CMPUD strives for and hopes to con-tinue to embrace for as long as there are police on campus.

“Equally (the officers) are all about taking care of the people that are here, and they do,” Yeagley said. “This isn’t like when you go to the police academy. This goes towards just who this organization is, the values we have, the type of people we hire here – their main focus here is to keep people safe.”

Yeagley said going beyond the typical duties of an officer is a unique motive of CMU police.

“That’s why these people signed up,” Yeagley said. “They’re prepared to take care of business if needed, but they’re much more than that.”

SeT for feb. 28

By Paige SheffieldStaff Reporter

Two finalists for the dean of the Col-lege of Communication and Fine Arts interviewed this week.

Interim dean Shelly Hinck inter-viewed Thursday and is one of three candidates — Janet Hethorn, director of the Delaware Design Institute at the University of Delaware in 2009, was interviewed Wednesday and Ste-ven Block’s campus forum, originally set for Tuesday, will be rescheduled for March.

“Conflict is not something that I’m afraid of, but I’ve also learned that I have to engage in conflict carefully, constructively and purposefully,” Hinck said.

Hinck became the interim dean of CCFA in August 2014, after Salma Ghanem resigned. She was the asso-ciate dean of the college from 2010 until 2014.

Hinck has research experience in civic engagement and service learn-ing. She has also been involved with various community boards, including the Mount Pleasant school board for five years. She worked as the executive director of Central States Communica-tion Association from 2006 through 2009, through which she organized the annual conference, worked with the budget and was responsible for membership services.

When asked about the next steps for the college, Hinck said the college should focus on collaboration and technology.

“If we could think carefully about innovative ways in which we could infuse technology with our work and think about that collaboratively, there might be some interesting projects that

could form from those conversations,” Hinck said.

Hinck said the college needs a dean that brings the importance of the arts into the conversation that tends to center around STEM fields.

“We need to continue to talk about the partnership of the arts with STEM and highlight that we’re not just an-other letter,” she said.

When asked about the decline in the number of high school graduates in Michigan, Hinck said the college will need to continue managing the budget with enrollment declines.

Meanwhile, Hethorn said it’s im-portant to consider how to expand the CMU’s audience.

“The first thing I would do if I were to come onboard is to work with each of the departments and programs to find out where you view your strengths in attracting students (and) where (students) who don’t come here (are) going — that’s really telling,” she said.

Hinck said each department has stepped up in terms of recruitment and they met projections for fall and spring. She said they need to enhance recruit-ment, find ways to attract students and consider other sources for funding.

“I think everything needs to be on the table and we need to think cre-atively about this,” Hinck said.

During Hethorn’s five years as chair of the art department at the Univer-sity of Delaware, she faced challenges because of the department’s high expenses, which she said are com-mon for communication and fine arts departments.

Hethorn said she’s been successful in raising funds, though she’d like to be more successful. Some of her success-ful strategies have been hosting events and promoting student projects.

“The way to get funding is to tell your story and make it relevant for the person who has the money to give it,” Hethorn said.

She said she is familiar with funding that is dispersed at the college-level be-cause the University of Delaware uses what they call responsibility-based budgeting.

“I think the good thing about this budget model is that you’re able to develop programs, develop initiatives, support and sustain projects that di-rectly impact your vision and strategic plan,” Hethorn said.

Hethorn said they need to look at faculty hires because they have a big impact on recruitment. Accord-ing to her, ensuring that the college offers market-sensitive programs and strengthening the programs would also increase recruitment.

One of the biggest concerns Hinck wants to address is its growing tech-nology needs.

She said the college has to be strategic and though she cannot guarantee that all changes could be made right away, Hinck said she isn’t afraid to keep trying. According to her, the college needs a dean that will be an advocate.

“From what I know about Central Michigan University and the College of Communication and Fine Arts, it seems to me you’re doing all kinds of really amazing things and you need an advocate and someone who will help you collaborate to create the impact that’s possible,” Hethorn said.

Hethorn mentioned team teach-ing and expanding online classes as priorities.

“It’s not just a quick fix; it’s a matter of staying on top of data and trends and knowing where all that’s going, but also figuring out what you do have control over and how you can shape it in meaningful ways,” Hethorn said.

Two finalists interview for dean of CCFA, one remains Central Michigan University

eDiToRiAL | Risks of state safety bill outweigh the rewards

TRading pRivacy

Voting on House Bill 4006 was postponed Thursday after be-ing unanimously passed by the Michigan House Criminal Justice Committee on Feb. 17. If signed into law, the bill would allow law enforcement to obtain a person’s location through a cellphone from wireless carriers without a warrant. Lawmakers say it will only apply in emergency situations.

Granting police access to our per-sonal information puts us on a slip-pery slope that should be avoided. The more the door to our privacy is pushed open by law enforcement, the harder it will be to close.

In 2007, Kansas police waited four days for a warrant to obtain the loca-

tion of a missing person from her mobile service provider. By the time they found the woman, she had been raped and murdered.

The Kelsey Smith Act, named for the victim, was signed into law in Kansas in 2009. Since then, 15 other states have passed legislation similar to the Kelsey Smith Act. Michigan could be next.

The good intentions of this law are not in doubt. Its ramifi-cations are.

The bill describes an emergency as a “situation that involves the imminent risk of death or serious physical harm to the user of a wire-less telecommunications device.” This definition leaves the decision

of what constitutes an emergency largely to law enforcement officials seeking the exemption.

Fourteen years after Smith’s death, police officers no longer face great obstacles when obtaining war-rants during emergencies. Accord-ing to Mount Pleasant Police Public Information Officer Jeff Browne, waiting four days for a warrant today would be highly unusual.

“Usually we get a warrant the same day,” Browne said. “In emer-gency situations, it’s even faster, maybe a few hours.”

Today, there is no shortage of ways to locate a person during an emergency situation. Many of our personal details are avail-able through social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. A quick scan of recent activity can of-ten pinpoint a person’s last location as easily as a cellphone ping.

Further, wireless carriers already have the option to offer access

to a device’s location. According to Browne, some grant access to information upon official request from an officer while others require a warrant first.

More specific areas of the pro-posed law raise concerns as well.

The law maintains wireless carri-ers are not obligated to release any information other than location, and that officers cannot use obtained information for “personal gain.” However, the punishment for of-ficers who violate the law is no more than 93 days in jail and a fine of no more than $500.

These are weak deterrents that do not match the crime of violating a person’s privacy.

Given the speed with which emer-gency warrants are obtained and the ability of wireless carriers to comply with police requests, HB 4006 seeks to solve a nonexistent problem.

It is up to us, as citizens, to fight further intrusion into our privacy.

“But, I’m not sick enough.”My voice broke and my throat

closed up, tears welling in my eyes as my doctor met my gaze. He ex-plained what my eating disorder was doing to my body. My hands shook as I took the pamphlets he handed me. As he urged me to seek counseling, I grabbed my jacket and fled from the office.

One of the themes of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2015, which took place this week,

Tori Saylor

Guest Columnist

is that eating disorders do not dis-criminate, and I am living proof of that. I am a woman leader on this campus who frequently advocates for feminism, women’s rights and bringing mental illness, addic-tion and eating disorders into the light without shame—and yet, I couldn’t allow myself to ac-cept that an eating disorder had reached me, too.

It couldn’t be that bad.As I relayed the words of my

doctor to a mentor later that evening, she asked me what my hesitation was. When I told her I hadn’t hit bottom quite yet, she uttered words that made me face reality:

“What does rock bottom look like, Tori?” she asked. “You’re going to keep making it lower and lower. Will your rock bottom be death? Listen to me—you do not have to hit rock bottom to turn around.”

Every time a barcode is scanned, you are essentially “voting” for the product you are purchasing.

When you cast your vote, you are endorsing the quality and standards of the product.

Going organic is not the cheapest choice, but in my book, it’s the right choice.

Buying meat, dairy and other products that are not organic shows marketers the meat, dairy and produce industries are thriving and on the right track, but they are in dire need of change.

Living in Michigan, we are lucky to be able to buy Michigan-produced milk. In our state, 98 percent of dairy farms are family owned. This increases the likelihood that their animals are treated with respect and given reasonable living conditions.

This is one of the many reasons Green Tree, located in downtown Mount Pleasant, is so valuable to our community.

Walking into Green Tree, I didn’t completely know what to expect. I have never been to a cooperative grocery store before, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Green Tree has a variety of dairy products, including organic, locally produced milk. Organic milk tends to last longer, so if you have trouble getting through a gallon of milk before it expires, this is a great alternative.

Purchasing locally-produced dairy products is paramount to keeping the Michigan dairy farms thriving. By support-ing the local farmers, you are supporting not only the com-munity, but the way the dairy farms are ran in Michigan. I am not saying all dairy farms in the state are in perfect condi-tion, but considering most in Michigan are family owned, the majority of dairy farms are humane and support jobs.

Buying locally grown and produced foods is vital to creating food standards.

Buying locally also creates jobs, supports local farmers and it promotes the commitment to high-quality products. Green Tree provides the buyer an ease of access to all of those things and opens the buyer to a wonderful community.

Buying local sends

the right message

Eating disorders do not discriminate

As I let those words sink in, I realized the truth within them. Hadn’t I already missed enough nights out with friends, classes, work shifts, family dinners and more? Hadn’t I ruined enough relationships because of the se-crecy and lies I frequently tangled myself in? Hadn’t I had enough of standing on a podium, speaking to women about how capable and strong they are, then later hiding under my covers, cowering in the shame of my hypocrisy?

Eating disorders do not dis-criminate. Anyone, no matter their body type, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or class can be-come trapped in the vicious cycle of disordered eating. The idea

that eating disorders only occur in young, white, thin females is com-pletely incorrect. Please hear me say this—your struggle is valid.

If you struggle with an eating disorder, please know you are not alone. There is hope, help and healing for you. Life doesn’t have to be a constant inner battle. You can win, once you decide you are worthy of turning around.

Rock bottom is right now, and you have a decision to make. I hope you make the right one—a choice for living your life to the fullest, living a life free of an eat-ing disorder.

I have made the same decision, and we will fight for recovery together.

COTTER |

tive. He was elected in 2010, representing District 99, which includes Isabella County.

Cotter said a family member graduated from CMU with a teacher education degree, and subsequently took a job in Florida where they still reside.

College graduates leaving Michigan was an issue he felt he needed to address. He said he also considered the future of his home state, where he planned to remain with his wife for many years.

“It was that specific ex-ample, and then sort of the broader narrative I was hear-ing,” he said. “After discus-sions with my wife, I looked at what the state would look like in 20 years if we decided to start a family.”

Elected to the House of Representatives in November 2010, Cotter started his work in January 2011. He made it through two re-elections, and is now in his final term as state representative.

Selected as Speaker of the House in November 2014, Cotter will serve in that role through the 2015-16 legisla-tive session.

The Speaker of the House is responsible for leading the caucus, which is the group of Republican representatives in the House.

The position also appoints committee members, negoti-ates with the governor’s office and decides which bills are brought to the floor for a vote. Cotter said he hopes these powers give his native commu-nity a voice in state politics.

Leading the House, across party lines, Cotter hopes to maintain healthy negotiations within the legislature, despite differences of opinion even within his own party.

RuRal ROOTsGraduating from Shepherd

High School, Cotter trans-ferred to CMU from Ferris State University, where he planned to major in profes-sional golf management.

At CMU, he majored in

business with a minor in entrepreneurship. Cotter also earned a Master’s of Science in Administration from CMU, and later attended Thomas M. Cooley Law School for his Juris Doctorate Degree.

State Sen. Judy Emmons, R- Sheridan, said Cotter’s new position will strengthen north-ern and mid-Michigan’s grasp on policy and laws throughout the state. Cotter will be able to foster a stronger relationship between rural politicians, and those from metropolitan areas such as Grand Rapids and Detroit, Emmons said.

“It’s a great opportunity for central Michigan,” she said. “As a leader, he has to be aware of the people he leads. We need someone who understands the issues of the area we live in. Lots of times (house leaders) are from more urban settings. We’ve had leadership before, but it’s uncommon. There are misperceptions that we’re kind of out in the wilderness. It’s partly because they think we don’t understand them and they don’t understand us. You have to have a balance.”

With less big businesses and job opportunities in the area, Emmons said representing the interests of his district while leading the house could be dif-ficult for Cotter.

“There are challenges in this area,” Emmons said. “Where we live, we don’t have a lot of big opportunities and busi-nesses. I don’t believe he’ll play sides. We’ve been on the same page as far as the needs of our community. It’s a challenge, but he’s up for it.”

State Senate Minority Whip Curtis Hertel Jr. D- Meridian Township said he is hopeful Cotter’s leadership will con-tinue a pattern of cooperative negotiations.

“Kevin has a good history of working with both sides of the aisle,” Hertel said. “Obviously there are pressures, but I hope that will continue. It’s about balancing the needs of your caucus and your state. There’s politics and there’s policy.”

Central Michigan Life was unable to reach House Minor-ity Leader Tim Greimel for comment for this story.

Associate Editor of Inside

Michigan Politics and politi-cal analyst Bill Ballenger said Isabella County has seen an increase in state leaders during recent years.

Pointing to Republican Gov. John Engler, who served from 1991 to 2003, along with Em-mons and the previous speaker Jase Bolger R-Marshall, he said Republican leaders are typi-cally from more rural areas of the state.

“No other county in the state has produced as much leader-ship as Isabella,” Ballenger said.

Lt. Gov. Brian Calley said the recent influx of leaders from Isabella County and Mount Pleasant has left a lasting impact on the state legislature as a whole.

“Mount Pleasant and Isabel-la County have a strong legacy of sending leaders that leave a positive impact,” Calley said. “That’s an area that produces the type of public servant that knows how to be successful through mutually beneficial relationships. It’s great for the community, and CMU, to have a leader who was formed and shaped in that community.”

His roots in a region more rural than many leaders of the state legislature, Cotter said he hopes to give his home a stron-ger voice in decision making.

“As you go north, the number of districts is a small number,” Cotter said. “It’s an opportunity for the more rural areas to have a louder voice in the process.”

Firmly believing his impact is best made staying in the state where he was raised, Cotter said he has multiple plans to keep other graduates living

and working in Michigan, by keeping tuition costs down and maximizing jobs available to students completing their education.

“We put a limitation on the amount that a school can increase tuition,” he said. “In 2011, we had a reduction in the budget. It was a tough year. But we still put the restraints in because we want schools to absorb some of that and not pass it all on to students. As the money coming in has gone up, then the amount we’ve allowed schools to increase tuition has gone down.”

He also said the legislature is attempting to make Michigan a better place for jobs to be cre-ated, while increasing college graduates and keeping taxes down despite having to pay off the state’s debt.

“It’s kind of a chicken or the egg scenario,” Cotter said. “Do we create the jobs first so that students that graduate can take the jobs, or do we put all the focus on graduating the talent and hoping the jobs follow? It’s a blended approach.”

CROssing ThE linEsBallenger said Cotter’s

impact will come from experi-ence. A former state represen-tative and senator, Ballenger said despite being fairly new to the legislature, Cotter has had more time than most speakers to become acclimated with the state political scene.

“Cotter will be the first speaker to have two terms under his belt in the 21st Century,” Ballenger said. “So he has a little more experience going into this job than anyone

has this century. He’s not a guy who’s been into politics. The idea that someone like that would just decide to get in there is really impressive.”

Referring to Cotter’s refusal to appoint the House Demo-crats’ recommendation for minority vice chair of the appropriations committee — which angered Democrats in late January — Ballenger said Cotter will have to work to foster a good relationship with Minority Leader Tim Greimel.

“The bottom line is the speaker has the power,” Bal-lenger said. “Let’s see how they get along as this session continues.”

Ballenger pointed to term limits as a challenge for Cot-ter, and all state politicians, in forming relationships with each other. State representa-tives are limited to three, two-year terms.

“Today, these members are there for such a short amount of time,” Ballenger said. “You got guys who really don’t know much about each other, but

they still have to work together. It’s more difficult.”

Calley said the difficulty in serving as speaker stems from the multitude of communities represented in the house.

“I consider the job of speak-er to be among the hardest in the state,” he said. “Leading a body of 110 people from 110 different places, and coming to a consensus is very difficult. It’s important that you have a leader that can maintain a very calm, professional demeanor in the face of drama.”

Cotter said he is up for the challenge. Explaining that debates only strengthen the legislation drafted and enacted on the state level, he said he welcomes differences of opin-ion when making decisions.

“I think people would be surprised that we do have differences of opinion, not just with the Senate and the Gov-ernor, but we have differences of opinion sometime within our own caucus,” Cotter said. “I really enjoy that process, it makes bills better.”

Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives Kevin Cotter was first elected to represent the 99th District in 2010. He will serve as speaker for the 2015-16 legislative session, Feb. 17, at the State Capitol Building in Lansing.

things we are doing there and whether we are paying our bills or passing them on, that’s something students should be very interested in.”

Cotter said some people have the misconception when contacting a representative, the correspondence “falls into a black hole somewhere.” He claims that’s not the case. Sometimes the correspon-dent’s opinion helps sway decisions that are more “luke-warm” in opinion.

Jayne Stratchan, director of Women and Gender Studies and co-director of the civic en-gagement division, said young people have specific political interests that are not being addressed by current politi-

cians. This might be because politicians are passing policies that appease their regular, likely voters such as the older demographic.

“I do not blame young people for their disinterest in voting and in other forms of tradi-tional political participation like contacting elected officials, working on a campaign (or) volunteering for a party,” said the political science professor. “I blame it on the break-down in political socialization and in long-term historic trends that have deprived young people of important learning experiences while they are growing up. That is not their fault.”

Cotter noticed an increase in youth being involved in politics in the recent years, something social media and other forms of engagement on the Internet may have contributed toward. Due to the transparency in get-

ting information out, sparks of passion about issues online have become a new efficient way of activism for today’s youth.

“From efficiency standpoint, (activism through social media) is tremendous and helpful. It’s only going to improve and we’ll only see more platforms pop and so I think that has been a great tool,” Cotter said.

Professor Edward Clayton said many politicians have start-ed their careers working for the College Democrats or College Republicans or by volunteering for a candidate or an interest group, or by getting involved with student government.

“Figure out what matters the most to you, and find a group of people that’s working to make a difference in that area,” he said. “Work hard, keep learning, make as many connections as you can, and who knows what might happen.”

Throughout the indoor Mid-American Conference season, Central Michigan University Director of track and field Mark Guthrie has stressed to his team the im-portance of performing at the most crucial moments.

In perhaps the most important moment of the season, the Chippewas will send 17 athletes to compete in the two-day MAC Indoor Championships at Jack Skoog Indoor Track.

Friday’s meet will begin at 10 a.m. and Saturday’s starts at 9:45 a.m. For the first time since 2010, CMU is hosting the event.

“I’m concerned we don’t have enough seats,” Guthrie said. “It’s going to be a sell-out. If you’re not here early, you’re not going to get a seat.”

The Chippewa women are led by Breckenridge fresh-man Kirsten Olling, Mu-nising senior Abbey Kelto, and Freesoil junior Kelly Schubert, who have each qualified for the 3,000 and 5,000-meter events.

On the men’s side, CMU is led by throwers, co-captains, and juniors Cole Walderzak of Standish and Dylan Bana-gis of Grand Rapids.

“Our throws in this confer-ence (are) one of the best throw conferences in Ameri-ca,” Guthrie said. “You can be in the top three or four in this conference in the throws and you are pretty darn good.”

The Chippewas had a lighter week of practice, as an-ticipation for the event builds.

“We are doing less reps and higher quality reps with the field events,” Guthrie said. “The work load gets less because it is a championship week. We are trying to keep them low key, normal. We try to keep them calm so they are not missing sleep and taking care of busi-ness.”

Grace under pressure, Guthrie said, will be key.

“At the championship level, it’s about the ability to control those emotions,” he said.

Fans will see the No. 2 pole vaulter in the world, Univer-sity of Akron junior Shawn Barber, who has the NCAA record of 19’3’’

“I’ve been around track for a long time and I’ve been around a lot of world-class athletes. If you’ve never seen somebody jump over 19 feet on a pole, it’s worth being there to see,” Guthrie said.

Guthrie said he is excited to see the championship atmosphere come to life on CMU’s home track.

“It’s going to be great,” he said. “It’s going to be loud. It’s going to be hot. It’s go-ing to be a championship atmosphere and you have great athletes. That’s about as good as it gets.”

Men’s hoops heads to Northern illinois Saturday

»PAGE 7

THE ODDSZiemowit Dutkiewicz traveled from Poland

to Mount Pleasant in search of adventure and his lifelong dream: Track glory.

His journey to America and multiple injuries have taken “Z,” as his Chippewas teammates call him, on a wildly unpre-dictable ride.

Earning a spot in this weekend’s Mid-American Conference Indoor Champion-ships, he hopes the latest stop on his voyage will be the top of the podium at the Jack Skoog Track this weekend.

The Chippewas host the MAC Indoor Championships at 10 a.m. Friday and 9:45 a.m. on Saturday.

Dutkiewicz competes in the 400-meter dash and 400-meter hurdles for Central Michigan University. He claimed a season-best second place finish in his premier event last weekend at Grand Valley State University.

But Dutkiewicz’s opportunity this week-end comes following several major injuries and an intense cultural adjustment struggle.

“It was very challenging at the begin-ning,” Dutkiewicz said “I only knew coach (Willie) Randolph. I had no friends here and it was a completely new place for me. The language barrier was difficult. I could understand people but they couldn’t under-stand me.”

Training HimIn a tiny Polish town of less than 5,000

people, Dutkiewicz lived with his 12-year-old brother, mother and grandfather. His grand-father served as his first running coach and mentor during his childhood.

Dutkiewicz’s grandfather began track when he was in fifth grade. A young Dutkiewicz eventually decided to specialize in the hurdles.

“(Running) was just fun at the beginning,” Dutkiewicz said. “But after a couple of years, we started to get more serious. We wanted to do this for results.”

Competing on a club team at his high school, Dutkiewicz earned the attention of Willie Randolph, former CMU director of track and field.

Randolph tapped into collegiate running’s international circuit to find the man who would soon become one of the Chippewas’ top hurdlers.

Though he had received interest from schools in Atlanta, New York, and Pittsburgh, Dutkiewicz said it was Michigan’s climate and the sense of excitement the state gave him that brought him to Mount Pleasant.

“It was all about adventure,” Dutkiewicz said. “Studying in a different country was challenging. I like to face challenges.”

World Junior CHampionsHipsPrior to coming to CMU, Dutkiewicz was no

stranger to a high-level running competition. Dutkiewicz competed in the 2008 Polish

National Youth Championships and finished in third place in the 400-meter dash. The next year, he followed that performance up with an eighth-place finish in the 400-meter dash for Team Poland at the 2009 World Youth Championships.

In 2011, Dutkiewicz notched a pair of first-place finishes in the National Ju-nior Championships of Poland, winning the 400-meter hurdles at 52.55 and the 400-meter dash at 48.67.

Dutkiewicz said there is no thrill like repre-

senting one’s country in an athletic competition. “It was the best experience I ever had,”

Dutkiewicz said. “When you see people from different countries and compete you know it’s something serious.”

Coming To mounT pleasanTAfter coming to America in 2012, Dutkie-

wicz eventually made friends while training with CMU’s 400-meter group.

High jumper Matt Mueller and Dutkiewicz spent hours each week playing video games and getting to know each other.

“The kids here are great,” Dutkiewicz said. “We always have fun in practice and meets.”

Dutkiewicz said he gained “a ton” of weight enjoying the luxuries of American fast food.

Even his favorite Mount Pleasant restau-rant, Buffalo Wild Wings, does not tempt Dutkiewicz to deviate from the strict physi-cal and intellectual regiment that landed him in America.

“I don’t have too much time to go out,” he said. “I start my day really early with class and the training room. I go from practice to study halls. During the week-end I might go to the SAC to the pool or sauna just to recover.”

After the firing of Randolph in 2013, Dut-kiewicz had to deal with the replacement of the man who brought him to America.

By Greg WickliffeStaff Reporter

The 2014-15 season continues to be an uphill climb for the Central Michigan University women’s basketball team.

The Chippewas snapped a four-game losing streak with a 63-51 win against rival Western Michigan University last weekend, only to stumble its way back into the losing column with a 69-62 defeat at the hands

of Northern Illinois University on Wednesday night.

The women travel to Toledo University Saturday in hopes adding another win to the record. The Rockets are riding a three-game winning streak and have won four out of their last five games.

CMU comes into the game 12-14 overall and 7-8 in Mid-American Conference competi-tion, Toledo is 16-10 overall and 9-6 in the MAC.

The Chippewas are 3-7 on the road and have lost their last four games away from McGuirk Arena.

UT dominated CMU 61-46 in their first matchup this season. The Chippewas will attempt to avenge the double-digit loss against the Rockets who are 8-4 at Savage Arena on Saturday.

“Toledo handed it to us pretty (well) at our place,” said Head Coach Sue Guevara. “They are on a good winning

streak right now, so they are feeling confident.”

CMU won three consecutive games against the Rockets until their last matchup, and are in need of a victory as it sits in the eighth and final place in the MAC’s West Division.

During its winning streak, Toledo has had a different leading scorer in each of their last three games, defeating opponents by an average of 11.6 points per game.

The Rockets feature a bal-anced scoring attack and are the fourth-highest scoring team in the MAC, averaging 66.8 points per contest.

With such balance on the offensive end of the court, and coming off of a game where the Chippewas allowed NIU’s offense to score early and often, Guevara said she knows defense will be key.

“Against NIU it was probably one of the worst defensive efforts that we have had,” Guevara said. “Against Toledo, we have to do a much better job defensively on closing out.”

Guevara said this time around, the CMU cannot afford a similar offensive showing if they hope to get even with the Rockets.

“We have to do a better job to attack the basket,” she said. “We need to have better shot selec-tion, and we need to get more out of our bench.”

Senior shooting guard Kerby Tamm will be asked for more production after only shooting four shots in CMU’s loss to NIU.

“I don’t think Kerby shot the ball enough,” Guevara said. “She needs to have the ball in her hands more.”

The Chippewas need a vic-tory to stay in contention for a first-round home game when the MAC Tournament starts.

“We have to go in hungry,” Guevara said. “We have to go in like it’s the championship game that we are about to play.”

Last-place women head to Toledo in hopes of late-season upset

By Joe JuddStaff Reporter

The top-ranked men’s basketball team in the Mid-American Conference has less than two weeks remain-ing in the regular season to stay on top.

This week in practice, Head Coach Keno Davis has kept his message to the Central Michigan University men’s basketball team simple: Re-main humble and never take an opponent for granted, es-pecially conference opponent Northern Illinois University.

The Chippewas and Hus-kies play at 8 p.m. Saturday in DeKalb, Ill.

The Huskies, are 11-15 overall and 5-10 in MAC play this season. The Chippewas outlasted NIU in their last matchup Feb. 18, which re-sulted in a 68-66 CMU victory.

“If you look around the conference this year, it’s rare to find a team that pulls away easily,” Davis said. “When you have a comfortable lead,

you need to make sure you continue to have your focus.”

The most underrated as-pect of the Huskies program, Davis said, are their coaches.

“Their toughness (is) re-flective of their coaches,” Da-vis said. “They can beat you in a variety of ways. We need to make sure we match NIU’s physicality and respond well to when they’re physical against us.”

CMU jumped out to an 11-point lead at halftime and led by as many as 16 points in the win against NIU.

Snapping a three-game losing streak, the Huskies are coming off an 84-82 upset against the Toledo Rockets that shook up the conference’s standings Wednesday night.

Davis said NIU’s second-to-last-place record does not show how resilient the team truly is.

“The work this team has put in strength training and in conditioning has given us a better chance to go against some of the more physical,

tougher teams in this confer-ence,” Davis said.

CMU is four spots ahead of NIU in the division and is coming off a 72-56 win at Eastern Michigan University on Tuesday.

The Chippewas are on a six-game winning streak. A seventh consecutive win on Saturday guarantees the Chippewas a seed no lower than four in the conference’s postseason tournament.

“We know the difference between us and any team we play is very slim. Our op-ponents know that too,” Davis said. “All three of our remain-ing games are winnable.”

Junior forward John Si-mons emphasized the team’s mentality of taking their schedule one game at a time, especially with the confer-ence tournament quickly approaching.

Simons had 11 points and four rebounds the last time CMU and NIU played each other.

“(NIU) never seem(s) to be

out of a game no matter what the deficit is,” Simons said. “They always seem to find a way to come back and win big games people think they won’t win.”

In what has been a tightly contested conference this sea-son, junior guard Rayshawn Simmons knows the Huskies are capable of snapping the Chippewas winning streak.

“They play just as hard as everybody else to me honestly,” Simmons said. “They guard really well and play hard. When a team guards well, plays hard and rebounds it’s always going to be a tough game.”

Randolph’s predecessor, Mark Guthrie, is someone Dutkiewicz said he has learned to admire.

“He changed the program a lot,” Dutkiewicz said. “I like the way he (runs) workouts.”

Guthrie said CMU’s polish hurdler was one of the high points to the roster he inherited.

“I don’t know how (CMU) found him,” Guthrie said. “He’s a good person, works hard, and has a passion for the sport. He showed great improvement from his first year to his second.”

Dutkiewicz took first place in the 600-meter event during the 2014 Jack Skoog Open with a time of 1:22.23. He also set personal

records that afternoon with a time of 47.83 in the 400-meter dash and 52.21 in the 400-meter hurdles.

Later that season, Dut-kiewicz’s running career at CMU suffered a setback.

During CMU’s meet at Akron University in Febru-ary, Dutkiewicz dove for the finish line, achieving a second-place finish, set-ting a personal record and breaking his collarbone in the process.

He missed the rest of that season.

“After I broke my per-sonal record, I knew I was on the right track,” Dutkie-wicz said. “I was improving after each race. I knew I would have to take care of my body, rest, and be ready for the next year.”

After an inflamed Achilles tendon and back problems nagged Dutkiewicz to start this season, he posted his

best performance of the sea-son last week in Allendale.

a Hopeful fuTure

Officially a sophomore, Dut-kiewicz has two more seasons to accomplish as much as his can while wearing a maroon and gold uniform.

“I want to go to nationals every year and break school records,” Dutkiewicz said. “When I leave Central, I want my name to be in the record board. I think that’ll be pretty cool.”

Eventually, Dutkiewicz said he wants to return to his homeland to compete nationally. In the meantime, he said professional ath-letes and the coaches that helped shape his athletic ability and mental tough-ness will remain at the forefront of his mind.

“It motivates me to not quit,” he said. “And just keep running.”

CONTiNUeD FROM 6

Hurdling |

By Cody DeBonaStaff Reporter

Now that the Mid-Ameri-can Conference regular season is finished, the gymnastics team heads to the West Coast this weekend, attempting to fine tune its skills in prepara-tion for the MAC champion-ships next month.

The Chippewas will take on University of California Davis, Sacramento State University and the University of Iowa at 10 p.m. Friday in Davis, Calif.

UC Davis boasts a solid vaulting rotation. In re-cent action against Seattle Pacific, the Aggies took first through fifth place as they rolled to a victory managing a team score of 195.175. UC Davis used a total of three all-arounders in that win.

SSU met UC Davis in mid-January and won handily,

but by the smallest possible margin. SSU freshman all-arounder Lauren Rice scored 39.050 against the Aggies.

The top team in Friday’s meet is No. 24 Iowa. Averag-ing more than 195 a meet, the Hawkeyes have been the front runner for the Big Ten title most of the season.

The only team scoring close to the Hawkeyes is CMU.

Iowa’s highest team score of the year is 196.37, a mark CMU cleared during last week’s win over Bowling Green.

UI sophomore Angel Metcalf scored a 39.4 in the Hawkkeyes’ defeat to Illinois, which falls behind the CMU school record of Kara Reighard’s 39.625.

The quad meet will be in a championship rotation. All teams will compete simultaneously.

The Chippewas will ar-rive in Davis coming off two

straight victories scoring higher than 196 and knocking off two conference opponents in the process.

“I think it’s an advantage to us to be able to do that away at Kent and home against BGSU,” said Head Coach Jerry Reighard. “Hav-ing our six seniors contrib-uting is great. You win with experience, I don’t care what sport it is and we have our experienced people in.”

The Chippewas sit in first place in the MAC standings.

“We need to stay in our bubbles, doing our routines, getting that big score again and the wins,” said senior Becca Druien.

Senior Halle Moraw has received MAC Gymnast of the Week for the second time in a row while Junior Karlee Teet received MAC Specialist honors.

By Evan SasielaStaff Reporter

Follwing an impressive high school career and an experi-ence at a much larger school to start her collegiate running career, freshman Kristen Olling is ready to take the Central Michigan University track team

to the highest level. Olling will compete in the

3,000-meter and 5,000-meter events for the Chippewas track and field team, along with Mu-nising senior Abbey Kelto and Freesoil junior Kelly Schubert.

Olling began her career at Breckenridge High School, where she won Michigan

High School Athletic As-sociation cross country state championships and was a Gatorade Runner of the Year in 2013 and 2014.

“People always say I brought all this publicity to Breck-enridge and made the town known,” Olling said. “I guess that is kind of cool but at the

same time I don’t feel like I did that. I’m just a person running that came out of a small town.”

Her talent took her from Mid-Michigan to the desert. Her high school counselor rec-ommended she attend Arizona State University. Olling eventu-ally decided to transfer closer to home in December 2014.

She is glad to be in Mount Pleasant, a short drive from home. Olling said she loves CMU and her team so far.

“We all get along here and we are all friends,” Olling said.

Kelto, Schubert, and Olling each run 70 miles per week, plus hurdles and weight training as part of

their conditioning process.“We run with each other

pretty much every single day,” Olling said.

She has a motto that has brought her success: “Winter miles bring spring smiles,” she said.

She hopes that success will continue this weekend.

Moraw earns MaC honor After winning her fourth Mid-

American Conference Gymnast of the Week honor, senior Halle Moraw has been named the Mid-American Conference Female Scholar-Athlete of the Week.

Moraw maintains a 3.48 GPA while pursuing a degree in Early Child Development and Learning.

Moraw scored two career highs in last week’s Chippewa victory over Bowling Green State University. She finished with two 9.9s on vault and floor and a 9.875 on beam on Sunday.

“She really knows what she wants out of life,” said Head Coach Jerry Reighard. “She knows what she’s going to do in the future and it starts in the classroom.”

TeaM CanCels weekend Trip To nashville

The Central Michigan University softball team announced Wednesday it was cancelling its trip to Nashville, Tenn. this weekend to participate in a tournament at Lipscomb University due to uncertain weather conditions.

Temperatures in Nashville are predicted to be below freezing and the forecast calls for precipitation.

The Chippewas were scheduled to take on Drake University and University of Dayton on Friday, and Lipscomb and Dayton on Saturday.

The team will use the week off to prepare for a nine-day stint in Clearwater, Fla. to take part in the University of South Florida Tournament.

The Chippewas’ will play 12 games during the tournament, including 10 games in five days. CMU will open up the tournament with a doubleheader on March 6 against the University of North Florida and Mercer University.

The women (2-7) are coming off the San Diego State University Tournament, where they went 2-3, with both wins coming against Seton Hall University.

women’s hoops lineup continues to change, freshmen stepping upBy Greg Wickliffe

Staff Reporter

At the beginning of the season, Central Michigan University women’s bas-ketball coach Sue Guevara didn’t plan on having to switch her lineup nearly her every game.

Due to several injuries this season, Guevara has been forced to mix up her starting lineup, in an attempt to find the best possible scenario for the Chippewas to succeed.

Throughout the season, CMU has featured eight different starting lineups ranging from a senior-dom-inated roster, to as many as

three freshmen on the court at the tip-off.

Guevara said this year’s team has become accus-tomed to the constant changes.

“Obviously with the injuries we’ve had, I’ve had to plug in different people,” said Guevara. “I think the team has gotten used to it.”

CMU’s opponent on any given day dictates who will start for the Chippewas, Guevara explained.

“The starting lineup may change based on who we are playing,” Guevara said.

Freshmen like Cassandra Breen and Amani Corley have been asked to con-tribute quicker than they

expected. Guevara said the young players know how they can improve during the extra time on the court.

“Especially for the younger kids, they under-stand that how they practice determines whether or not they’re going to get a start or not,” Guevara said.

Senior Crystal Bradford, who has missed time due to injury, said making adjust-ments is crucial to any team, no matter the situation.

“It has changed it up,” Bradford said. “People just have to get used to playing with each other.”

Bradford said she has some sympathy for the rookies.

“It’s more adversity than an advantage,” she said. “They’re just thrown into the battlefield, and they don’t know what’s going on. It’s kind of like we forget their only freshmen.”

Though Guevara said it is natural for any player to want to get a start regard-less of class or age, the “bigger picture” remains the most important thing.

“Most players would love to have their names called,” Guevara said. “But I always tell them, ‘it doesn’t matter who starts, are you going to be on the floor at the fin-ish?’ It’s all about finishers, not so much starters, but finishers.”
