A�er months of construction and surveying for what furniture to select, Western Michigan Uni-versity’s �rst new student housing area in nearly 50 years is complete and students are moving in.

�e Western View is intended for upperclass-men and consists of one, two, three and four bedroom apartments, both furnished and unfur-nished.

Apartments come with brand new Kenmore ap-pliances including a washer and dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave and stove. All �xtures in the apartments were provided by Kohler. Students also all have their own bathroom.

Furnished apartments come with a bed that has storage space underneath and turns into a dress-er. Furnished apartments also have couches and

desks. “Residence Life purchased all furniture for the

furnished apartments,” Steve Palmer, director of Residence Life, said. “�e couches and chairs were purchased from University Lo�. All bedroom furniture and bar stools were purchased from RT London. �e end tables and co�ee tables were pur-chased from Dubois.”

�e furniture and all designs were chosen by students through a series of surveys.

wm YOUCAMPUSWMU student gives advice to freshmen

R.V. Mendoza, a junior at Western Michigan University, is a triple threat. He sings. He dances. He plays ukulele.

“I’m learn-ing from the greats,” said the electronic business design major.

Mendoza won Western’s Got Talent 2010 with his rendition of “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga.

�is summer, he took a hiatus from singing to make songs of his own.

“I’m learning how to mold my songwriting �rst,” he said.

Originality seems to be an underlying quality in Mendoza’s life as he gives advice to incom-ing freshman.

“Don’t get lost in trying to impress people, because it’s even more dangerous when it works,” he said.

Welcome students

It’s welcome week for all new �rst-year stu-dents all over Western Michigan University’s campus, and that means lots of ac-tivities.

W e l c o m e week for WMU is held from Au-gust 30 to Sept. 2 with early move-in date for spe-cial programs on August 29.

“�e week is set up to help transition these �rst year students college life on WMU’s campus by giving them early access to the WMU Bookstore, moving in early, exploring downtown, pairing with an upper classman mentor, and making life-long friendships,” Adrienne Fraaza, Fall Welcome coordinator said.

“�e week is �lled with developmental pre-sentations, exciting activities, and prizes, free stu�, and more prizes.

“It is an opportunity for the students to spend a week on campus getting comfortable with their surroundings before needing to worry about the responsibilities of class work.”

Fraaza has been the Fall Welcome coordina-tor since 2006. Prior to 2005, Fall Welcome was known as Bronco days.

“Bronco days was started in 1999 and was a three-day program prior to classes and was

student is not a lot of fun. Mom’s home cooked meals are no more. Cafeteria food is less than comparable to what mom used to make at home and sandwiches from the cafeteria, ramen noodles every night or Easy Mac can get very tiring. You even just get those days where you do not want to leave your room.

Cumming has been involved with the One Stop Center since it’s inception in 2005. It was intro-duced to the university by former

Vice Provost for Enrollment Man-agement John Beacon, and has de-viated very little from its original form in the years since, Cumming said.

“�e main concept [behind it] was student convenience,” she added.

Although Cumming and the rest of the Registrar’s O�ce work on coordinating and scheduling the center, the individual o�ces work

independently preparing and sta�-ing their stations.

“It kind of runs itself now,” Cumming said. “Each o�ce mans it themselves.”

limited to 1,000 students,” Fraaza said.

“We have grown tremen-dously as now all �rst-year students are required to attend, so we welcome ap-proximately 3,000 new stu-dents.”

WMU holds Fall Welcome each year as a purpose for transition from high school to college. Students can learn where their classes will be held, the WMU �ght song, college study habits, meet new people, and explore the city of Kalamazoo.

“�ey’ll learn how to use the bus system, where advis-ing o�ces are located, and have a blast through the en-

tire process,” Fraaza said. “Our purpose of holding

Fall Welcome is to instill in every new student Bronco Pride from the get-go and pump them up for the years to come as students on this amazing campus.”

Fall Welcome is �lled with fun and free stu�. Some of the giveaways include a new bike, laptop, iPad, iPod, a semester’s tuition and much more.

Students are only eligible for these prizes if they attend Fall Welcome events.

Also included in Fall Welcome are special pro-grams such as Emerging Leaders and Seita Scholars that are able to meet and provide students with ad-

ditional resources and in-teractive preparation for college life.

“I would not have missed Fall Welcome for the world. My favorite part was meet-ing new people and just wandering around campus with a guide to explain what everything was,” Eric Bra-man fall welcome co-intern said.

“I felt much more con�-dent on the �rst day �nding my way from the Valleys to my classrooms in thanks to my Ambassador’s help.

“Also, I made a solid group of friends that all lived in my hall and a few from across campus that have stuck with me through my entire college career.”

“It should be very similar to last year,” she said. “We anticipate it to run smooth-ly.”

�e One Stop typically sees a high volume of stu-dents and parents, particu-larly to the parking and �-nancial aid station.

“�e volume of students that we have, shows that there was a need for it, and that students appreciate hav-ing that convenience,” she said.

In addition to speak-ing with staff, students can also enjoy a number of other services at the One Stop Center. For example, the registrar’s office will provide computers for stu-dents to print their class schedule and to register for courses.

Palmer discussed put-ting picnic tables and grills around the complex for stu-dents to enjoy because there

is not much space for them to put those things outside of their apartment.

Parking is free, and visitor parking is located in the lot directly across from the West-

Erin Kaplan, our recently elected Student Body President, has been working hard to get where she is today ever since her freshman year. In addition to her very busy sched-ule as president she is alsoinvolved in several additional campus activi-ties.

�e following article contains a Q&A with Kaplan.

Western Herald: What does Bronco Pride mean to you?

Erin Kaplan: To me, Bronco

Pride means be-ing proud to be a Western student. It means not wearing clothes from other universities on our campus, and being proud to wear WMU gear. It means having respect and admira-tion for our University, and actively contributing toward making it a better place.

WH: What is it like being the student body president? What sort of activities do you do on a daily basis?

EK: Being student body presi-

dent includes daily meetings and hard work. It means rep-resenting the study body on multiple

university-wide committees, and always actively voicing student’s concerns. I do a little bit of every-thing for the organization and fa-cilitate other Cabinet members ini-tiatives within the organization.

WH: What other activities are you involved in on campus?

EK: In addition to WSA, I am involved with Hillel, Drive Safe Ka-lamazoo, the First-Year Experience

o�ce, and the Student Ambas-sador Program. Additionally, I am involved with Greek Life as a proud member of Alpha Omicron Pi, Order of Ome-ga (a honors Greek society), and a founding member of the Fraternal Values Society.

WH: What are some of the fu-ture goals you hope to see in West-ern’s future?

EK: I hope to see WMU and

WSA continue to do everything they can to make WMU the best University it can be. I am excited to watch WMU complete all of the current initiatives they are working on,

including �nishing building the new Sangrin hall and opening up themedical school.

WH: How will you go about these goals?

EK: I will do all that I can to fa-cilitate growth and change within

�e Gilmore �eater Atrium will host a retirement event for Lowell Rinker, Western Michigan Univer-sity’s vice president of Business and Finance and chief �nancial o�cer.

�e event will be held on Sept. 30 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Rinker has been a part of WMU for 41 years. He was born and raised in Grand Rapids and spent 2 years at Grand Rapids Community College.

He came to WMU in September 1970 and was given a job in the Ac-counting Services Department in the administration building.

Rinker graduated with his bach-elor’s in accountancy in April of 1972 and began working full-time for WMU in the Grants and Contracts O�ce as a project �scal analyst.

He then began working on his master’s degree in Public Adminis-tration which he completed in April 1976.

“�at year I was also promoted to manager of general accounting, handling �nancial reporting and

Accounts Payable,” Rinker said.

“I also became president of the Ad-ministrative Profes-sional Association that year (an asso-ciation representing professional sta� at WMU).”

In 1980, he was promoted to di-rector of Accounting Services.

“I had oversight over accounts re-ceivable, accounts payable, cashier-ing, plant accounting, investments and risk management, and �nancial reporting,” Rinker added.

“In 1992 I was promoted to as-sociate vice president for Business, which included Auxiliary Enterprises (West Hills, Miller, Boosktore, etc), Purchasing, Postal/Delivery Services, Risk Management, Property Manage-ment, contracting, Freedom of Infor-mation,” Rinker said.

“�en I was promoted to vice president for Business and Finance and CFO when Bob Beam retired from that position. Areas under the VP include those mentioned earlier

and also Human Resources, Public Safety and Facilities Management,” Rinker said.

In addition to the vice president responsibilities, Rinker has also served as the treasurer of the WMU Foundation, the WMU Research Foundation, the Paper Technology Foundation and numerous other re-lated boards and committees.

“I came to WMU and never le�,” Rinker said. “I would have never guessed way back then that I would spend my entire career in one place but I am a Bronco through and through; would never have had any other way.”

Taking his place as of July 1, Janice Van Der Kley has assumed the posi-tion as vice president for business and �nance and chief �nancial o�cer at Western Michigan University.

“I was deeply honored to be given this opportunity,” Van Der Kley said.

“Lowell has done a tremendous job for many years now and he will leave a large footprint. However, I

Last year Western Michigan Uni-versity launched an alert system called WMU Alert that alerts stu-dents when there is a tornado warn-ing, �re or other various problems on campus.

WMU Alert uses a Reverse 911 emergency noti�cation system.

“Earlier this year, call handling/call throttling was modi�ed by the company so that it would automati-cally sense overloads,” Cam Vossen,

emergency management administra-tor said.

“Unfortunately the system’s built-in default setting wasn’t changed, defeating the modi�cation,” Vossen said.

Vossen said it also resulted in each phone exchange building and send-ing a �le.

“�is extended the time it took for calls to be made. �e company has is-sued a ‘hot �x’ to correct this issue,” Vossen said.

According to the Department of Public Safety, so far WMU Alert is

not experiencing any problems and that it is working well. �e DPS will continue to educate current and new users about how the system works.

“As with any technology, new products are being developed that o�er di�erent features and bene�ts,” Vossen said. “It would be great if there were an ‘easy button’ that com-bined a variety of noti�cation sys-tems, like the 800 MHz police radios, the built-in �re alarms that have mes-

It’s that time of year again, back to school.

Being in your own place away from the parents can be a lot of fun and it can also be very scary. Here are a few tips for you incoming freshman on how to adjust to dorm living and roommates.

be done very easily between you and your room mates. Living in dorms, you typically will have to share a bathroom. Dorms are also quite small so they can get messy very easily. If you and your room mate sit down and make a plan of who will clean what each week in the begin-ning, the year will most likely go very smoothly. Dirty laundry piled everywhere and toothpaste all over the sink is unacceptable.

your own probably means you’ll also be bringing people back to your dorm room to hang out and even spend the night sometimes. What you don’t want to do is bring

someone back to your dorm to spend the night being loud and obnoxious on a Monday at 3 a.m. keeping your roommate awake. Get together and compare schedules then you can set up visit-ing hours. If you have a signi�cant other, you may even be able to �nd times where your roommate won’t be in the room so that you and your signi�cant other can be alone. But be sure to be considerate of the other person.

dorm with the door closed in the dark. Open your door and invite people in! Leaving your door open in residence halls is a way to ensure you meet new people that are liv-ing on your �oor. It shows people that you are friendly and it allows you to make instant connections with people that you can hang out with, do homework with and even walk to classes with. Being a social outcast will make for a rough year.

Keep the door open.

about food: I cannot tell you how many roommates I’ve had over the years that have just eaten all of my snacks and never replaced them. I’d go to get milk for cereal and it would be gone…it can be very frustrating. Again right at the beginning establish rules and boundaries for that. Sharing with your roommates is �ne and I encourage you to do so. Just be sure to let them know that you aren’t going to eat all of their food and leave them with nothing, so you expect them not to do that either. Roommates that eat all of your food and don’t replace it seem to be one of the biggest problems with dorm living.

and probably biggest tip I have for

successful year. If there is a prob-lem, don’t be afraid to voice your opinion and let your roommate

know something is going on. You don’t want to live all year with a problem or tension. �e sooner you talk to them about what’s going on, the sooner it can be �xed and you can move on. No matter what the problem may be. If it’s something you can’t solve on your own, ask your Resident Advisor for advice on what to do.

from anything you will experience. You will probably meet people you like, some that you don’t. Just re-member, it’s not just new to you, it’s new to everyone there. You are all learning to adjust and what better way to do it than to become friends with new people going through the same things you are. Don’t ever be afraid to ask questions either. �at’s what your Resident Advisor is there for. With these few tips you should have a great stress free year and meet some great people.

but rather both the property and business, Rinker said.

“WMU’s primary interest was in property itself; we are always on alert for properties that become available within the main campus footprint,” Rinker said. “Because Bob Warner was only interested is selling the business with the property, even though we were not seeking to buy the business, the contracting bookstore industry made this a logical thing for us to dis-cuss further.”

We began discussions and culminated in a tentative agreement that the Board approved on July 22, Rinker said.

WMU has purchased both the property and the Univer-sity Bookstore business.

Many options have been explored including bookstore so� goods and a lounge area that sells co�ee.

Many of the University Bookstore sta� members

will be hired as WMU sta� to continue expanded o�ers and handle broadened op-erations.

“Nationally, the bookstore industry has contracted and it will likely make the most sense long term to merge the operations together in one site,” Rinker said.

“We are looking at how to best do that while maintain-ing the best possible service to our students. We are con-sidering other possible uses for that location, but noth-ing has been decided at this point.”

�e University Bookstore will remain operating as it does now at least through the end of October, possibly beyond. Returns or uses of gi� certi�cates can be done at either bookstore location.

Online options will be continued for the University Bookstore.

“�ose along with the book rental business are ex-panding areas in the book-store industry,” Rinker said.

Rinker said it is not WMU’s intention that stu-dents have fewer options or that they would pay any more for their texts, the goal is to provide as much conve-nience and value as is pos-sible.

“It is very possible that the two stores will be fully merged by spring semester, leaving Textbook Alley as the local source for texts,”

Business

Buying textbooks and food all the time can be expen-sive. It can leave a huge hole in your pocket and give you no money for fun. Yes, being poor is part of being a college student but who wants to sit in their apartment/dorm all night doing nothing fun? No one does. Students search all the time online for quick ways to make money in col-lege. Having been in Kala-mazoo for four years now, I know of quite a few fast cash options that have worked great for me when I’ve been strapped and wanted beer money or food.

Here are my suggestions: Western Herald: Writing

may not be your cup of tea, but this is a quick and easy way to make money. You choose how many stories you pick up so you control the money you make. You are required to at least take one story a week, but the editors are �exible if you have some-thing going on and cannot take stories for some reason. You don’t have to be a jour-nalist to write for the news-paper. �ere are photography positions, advertising, edit-ing, and writing. It’s a great way to get involved on cam-pus, make quick cash easily and �nd out what’s going on.

It also builds great connec-tions for future internships, recommendation letters and classes. If this is something you woud be interested in, contact the editor-in-chief Nora Strehl by e-mail at [email protected]. �e Western Herald is always looking for more students to become involved.

Bartending: Kalamazoo is de�nitely the place to get a bartending job. You may get home later from work but the money you come home with will be well worth it. It’s a great way to meet new people in Kalamazoo as well. You make a lot of connections with people all throughout the city when you work with Kalamazoo nightlife. It’s also a nice discount for when you may want to go out and have some fun and that’s never a bad thing.

Ebay: �ere are so many ways you can make money on Ebay. One time I got so bored that I went through my entire apartment looking for things to sell. In less than a week I made an extra $200 just by sitting there. Ebay is free to use and only requires a PayPal account and its very simple to use. If you have a lot of stu� to sell you can also start a warehouse on Ebay.

Donating Plasma: Stu-dents can make $25 to $75 a week just by giving an hour or two of their time! Down-town Kalamazoo’s Biomat USA Center o�ers pay for plasma donations. Donat-ing plasma is very safe. Re-actions to donations may be fainting or discomfort while being injected. It’s a very easy way to make $70 a week and help people. Your �rst visit will take about 4 hours a�er that you won’t have to spend more than an hour there.

Plato’s Closet: Plato’s Closet buys back and sells all items. �e �rst time I went there to sell them my clothes I came home with $75. �ey don’t take everything so don’t get frustrated if they turn your items down. Plato’s Closet buys back men and women’s clothes. �ey also carry some cute stu� too if you are trying to shop on a budget and can’t a�ord $70 Hollister jeans.

A little bit goes a long way when you are a college student. You can use a few dollars even if you aren’t hurting for money just to go out and spend. �ese few things are great easy ways to make cash without even do-ing much.

Opposition to Vaccines Each morning, Sue Waltman consumes her measure of Vitamin C, D and D3 to boost her immune system. She takes a lot of supplements, but the e�ort is worth it, she said. She maintains a low-sugar and low-carbohydrate diet, doesn’t drink soda and certainly doesn’t get vac-cinated. “Vaccines don’t support the immune sys-tem,” she said. “�ey engage it in battles. Vaccine is a toxin.” Waltman is the founder of Michigan Op-posing Mandatory Vaccines

(M.O.M.), P.O. Box 1121, Troy, a nonpro�t organiza-tion that supports a person’s right to choose whether or not they receive vaccina-tions. Her organization re�ects that of a steady number of parents oppos-ing vaccinations for them-selves and their children in the United States. Kalama-zoo County has a 2 percent population waiver rate from vaccinations. Michigan law states that a child must be vaccinated in order to attend public school, but allows exemptions if the parent has objections on medical, religious or philo-sophical grounds.

However, growing comebacks of diseases in Kalamazoo County, such as Pertussis, commonly known as “whooping cough”, are causing health profession-als to stress the importance of vaccinations. Kalamazoo County reports one death per year from whooping cough, said Dr. Robert Ens-�eld, a pediatrician at Chil-dren’s Medicine PC, 1428 W. Milham Ave., Portage. “So many people want to do things the natural way and the organic way,” Ens�eld said. “�e natural way of doing things means people die sooner and chil-dren die at an early age.” Currently, people

are afraid of vaccines be-cause of the rumored link to autism, Ens�eld said. �e doctor who conducted the famous autism study in Eng-land was paid by a lawyer to �nd a link between vaccina-tions and autism. �e link was a deliberate deception, not just a myth. “It was a single doctor with a single study that no one has been able to duplicate,” he said. �e choice of whether or not to get vac-cinated requires a risk and bene�t analysis, he said. �e risk of the vaccine is weighed against the bene�t of the vaccine. “You have to make

a decision about which is worse,” he said. Convincing parents to get their child vaccinated is easy once you explain the moral conse-quences, said Jackie Skelton, a public health nurse at the Allegan County Health De-partment, 3255 122nd Ave., Allegan. “What would hap-pen if your child got the �u and died?” she said. “�e chances may not be high but if something happens, there’s going to be some sort of [parental] guilt.” Skelton talks to many reluctant people about the importance of im-munization. Some counties

require people who are exempting from vac-cinations to meet with a county health o�cial to obtain the waiver. “People take things for granted,” she said. �ey haven’t seen outbreaks and think they’re protected. In reality, the only rea-son they haven’t seen outbreaks is because everyone around them is getting vaccinated, she said.

Kalamazoo provides many opportunities for lo-cal artist to perform and for the population of Kalamazoo to watch those live perfor-mances. Quite a few of these opportunities come from the local bars around Kalamazoo. Some of the bars around Ka-lamazoo include �e Strutt, Bell’s Brewery and Eccentric Café, Papa Papa Pete’s, Lou-ie’s, Old Dog Tavern and the State �eatre.

�e Strutt�e Strutt doubles as a cafe

in the mornings with a menu including cafe drinks, break-fast and brunch. For lunch and dinner, the menu also includes salads, appetizers, soups, pizzas, sandwhiches, burgers and a beer list. �e Strutt also has di�erent drink specials every night.

Darren and Kelly Bain, owners of �e Strutt, said they love to discuss their business. Darren Bain said the store, also a record shop, used to be promoted by many famous people such as Cheech and Chong.

�e Strutt is open Mon-day through Friday from 7:00 A.M. to 2:00 A.M. and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 A.M. to 2:00 A.M.

Bell’s Brewery andEccentric Cafe

Bell’s Brewery and Ec-centric Café began in 1985, wanting to create a great beer. �ey are now a regional cra� brewery and employ over 100 people over an 18 state region. Currently Bell’s is brewing over 20 di�erent un-�ltered beers, which are not only served in Kalamazoo but growing rapidly around

the world as well. Bell’s also includes a beer

garden, art, various food items and live music �urs-day through Sunday. Bell’s is open 7 days a week from 4:00 P.M. until 2:00 A.M. and has happy hour from 4:00 to 7:00.

Papa Pete’sPapa Pete’s is another bar

and music venue. �ey wel-come guests on a current three-night-a-week line-up. On other nights of the week there are also national acts, local artists are also featured as well as poetry slams.

Papa Pete’s is owned and run by the Greek Stamos family and opened to the public in 1991. �e Blue Dolphin is the bar’s sister restaurant and also shares the Greek/American menu as well also including a long wine list, a large liquor selec-tion, beers on tap and many drink specials. Shows held here are usually for everyone 18 and up. Louie’s

Louie’s is another bar/res-taurant that is popular in Ka-lamazoo. According to their website, Louie’s has “with-out a doubt the best fresh burgers in town (�ank you V&V Meats and Macken-zie’s Bakery). Not to mention the coldest beer and sti�est drinks around!”

Louie’s also o�ers o�-site catering and has many drink and food options.

Old Dog Tavern�e Old Dog Tavern is an-

other place to go and listen to live music. Hours are Mon-day - �ursday 3 p.m. until 2:00 a.m., Friday - Saturday 3 p.m until 1 a.m. and Sunday 3 p.m. until 9 p.m. �e Old Dog Tavern is a friendly at-

mosphere with quality local music and some of the best brew deals in town.

State �eatre�e State �eatre in

downtown Kalamazoo, has many live shows since its renovation in 1964. �e ren-ovations to the bar included sign changing, organization of the inside and outside. �e State theatre then was closed brie�y by W.S. Butter�eld �eatre Inc.

�is was unacceptable to the local people and artists who stood up for the arts and in turn formed the “Save the State” committee. �is com-mittee worked to preserve the legacy and the building and in 1985 the building was bought by the Hinman Company. More renovations were made but the company worked to keep part of Kala-mazoo’s history alive.

Van Der Kley has been part of WMU for 28 years. During her employment she has held many positions in areas such as audit, ac-counting, development and business �nance.

“I have been a part of Western for a very long time and have loved every minute of it,” Van Der Kley said.

“I am a Bronco and am proud that I received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from here.”

Van Der Kley was chosen a�er expressing an interest in the position.

“Both the president and Board of Trustees consid-ered my credentials and passion for the job and Western,” Van Der Kley said.

“With the President’s support, the Board of Trust-ees appointed me to the po-sition.”

“Having moved around over my career at Western has allowed me to get to know di�erent aspects of

how we do busi-ness and a greater a p p r e -ciation of the com-plexity of Western.”

T h i s year Van Der Kley plans to continue focusing on cam-pus improvements such as the completion of Sangren Hall and the opening of the Western View apart-ments.

“It will also be necessary for us to continue to keep a close eye on University �nances against the back-drop of what is occurring in Michigan and Washing-ton D.C. it promises to be a busy year.”

She will also be busy looking at potential solu-tions for deployment of East Campus

saging capabilities, etc., for ‘one stop’ emergency noti�-cation.”

WMU Alert is a voice activated system and the in-coming call will not impart the recorded emergency message unless the recipient answers the phone with a verbal greeting.

“Some people with caller ID who see the WMU Alert identi�cation simply pick up their phone and listen, ex-pecting to hear a message,”

Vossen said. “When that oc-curs, they will not hear the message as system goes on to the next call.”

Vossen said that some people have asked if the sys-tem is able to leave them a voicemail.

“WMU Alert does not leave voice mail so that the maximum number of calls can be placed as quickly as possible and to avoid creat-ing confusion and chaos, if someone checks voice mail later when the critical inci-dent information has most

likely changed.” As of now, WMU has no

plans to expand the WMU Alert system or implement a new one.

“It would not be cost ef-fective to design, program, test, and implement a system and maintain thousands of phone lines,” Vossen said. “While preprogrammed messages have been devel-oped for WMU Alert, cus-tom messages can be created in real time as needed.”

WMU landscaping supervisor promotes community gardens Landscaping Supervisor Steve Keto stood near piles of rubble and garbage facing the burned out, condemned houses marked with vandalism and vermin. “�ere were dead carcasses of dogs on the sidewalks,” Keto, the landscaping supervisor at West-ern Michigan University and co-manager of Pingree Farms, said. “It’s a very gritty, very depressing place to be.” He is speaking of Detroit. Keto’s friend owns a 7-block long and 2-block wide community garden in Detroit, which Keto helps manage with his free time. �e owner’s name and address is not disclosed in the story for safety purposes. “It’s not really safe at all,” Keto said, speaking about the neighborhood. Community gardening is gaining popular-ity and attention in Detroit. In fact, it has spread from almost no gardens in 2000, to over 800 gardens being recorded in 2007, said Dr. David Houghton, professor of urban politics at WMU. Forty square miles of open land exist in Detroit and only 1 square mile of that 40 is occupied by gardens. Community gardens are changing perceptions of Detroit from being an urban nightmare to an open �eld of green, Keto said. Detroit lost 197,000 residents from 2010 to 2011, said Tonya King, a research assistant at the Citi-zens Research Council on 124 W. Allegan St, Lansing. Currently, the population stands at 713,777 residents with the compiled 2010 Census data. �e numbers present a problem, she said. Detroit no longer reaches the population threshold that Michigan, by law, re-quires to have to receive certain funding and grants. “�ose laws are made speci�cally to help out Detroit,” King said. “�ey’ll either have to eliminate population thresholds, which is highly unlikely, or lower the population thresholds.” Meanwhile, residents are brainstorming creative ways to “green” Detroit, co-manager Keto said. Pingree Farms is a community garden that buys out land in a devastated residential neighborhood and, in a two-year process, turns it into farmland. “�e area has to go through an incredible change before you get to something where you can actually run a plow through it,” Keto said.

�e process has four initial steps. First, the house is demolished. Second, the foundation is removed from the site, which creates a gaping hole in the land, he said. �ird, all the trash and rubble is removed from the site. Fourth, the hole is �lled with soil and a compost heap made of animal waste, yard waste and plant waste is placed on the land for the �rst year. A�er a year, a “cover crop” is placed over the site. A cover crop is a mix of either wild�owers, grass, turnips or buckwheat, Keto said. �e cover crop improves the soil by preventing it from erosion. It also prevents noxious weeds from su�ocating the soil. �e cover crop is tilled and plowed a�er a year to make way for tomatoes, garlic, onions, watermelon, carrots, kale and many other foods. “For the most part, these sites are miserable,” Keto said. “�ey’re absolutely incredibly ugly looking.” Contamination of the soil is a new obstacle for Pingree Farms. “You don’t know what happened on that site. Some of these places were crack houses, some of them were meth labs,” he said. “He [the owner] is inheriting some problems.” �e success of the community gardens are hard to measure. Pingree Farms keeps no records of input or output. �e owner, who runs a successful sheet metal business, is self-funded and gives his produce away for free. “He’s getting good response from the neighbors,” Keto said. “�ere’s a cooperative thing in the sense that he lets his neighbors go in and just pick stu�.” Houghton, an urban politics professor at WMU, said community gardens are more concerned with building community. �e garden is something you own yourself or in conjunction with your neighborhood. “Pro�t is more at the margins,” Houghton said. “�ey’re just trying to grow some local food here.” However, he said that commercial farming could play a crucial role in the success of gardening in Detroit. “�e concept of gardening is here to stay,” Houghton said. Community gardening, in order to be successful, must not be pursued from an economical aspect, Keto, co-manager of Pingree farms, said. Community gardening is not the most e�cient or pro�table way to use land. “�ere’s no way you can say this is going to ‘save’ Detroit,” Keto said. “What he’s doing is taking the site that

people see as a liability or of no value, and putting some ef-fort and some money into it to create a space where people might look at it now and say ‘I could build a house there.’”

states that EPA and other co-ordinating agencies will con-tinue oversight of the clean-up in the Marshall and Battle Creek areas. Oversight will not be discontinued until the EPA has determined En-bridge has completed all res-toration of the river and the surrounding areas.

In a report commissioned by Don de Blasio, EPA Com-munity Involvement Coor-dinator, he stated that under the direction of EPA, cleanup workers have placed physical barriers at strategic locations in the waterways of Talmadge Creek and the Kalamazoo River in order to contain oil that has resurfaced due to the warm weather.

“More than 220 areas of moderate-to-heavy con-tamination, covering around 200 acres of river bottom, requires cleanup,” de Blasio reported. “A small number of overbank locations have also been identi�ed, and more than 300 solidi�ed oil depos-its need cleanup.”

De Blasio reports that EPA responders have a num-ber of techniques for extract-ing the submerged oil from the sediment, furthering the recovery of the waterways. Solidi�ed oil that has shown up on some of the overbank areas has also been included in the cleanup process. “EPA has also directed Enbridge to increase air monitoring in work areas and nearby communities to protect resi-dential areas from poten-tial air pollution released by the cleanup work,” de Bla-sio stated. “Monitoring and sampling of the air will be focused in areas where odors can be detected.”

When asked how many people or residences contin-ue to be a�ected by last year’s oil spill, de Blasio was unable to provide an exact count. “Virtually every person and residence in Calhoun County and thousands in Kalamazoo County are a�ected in some

way,” he said. “Some have been hurt �nancially, some have been helped �nancially, and many are eager to start using the river for recreation again.”

John Laforge and his fam-ily were greatly a�ected by the oil spill. Talmadge Creek runs beside his house, He said that about 45 feet of oil ran by his house.

Laforge said that he and his family moved out of their house the morning of the spill on July 26. �ey didn’t have a choice about leaving because the Enbridge of-�cials mandated that they move to a new location. La-forge has not returned to his old house. He stated that En-bridge reimbursed him for the cost of relocating.

When asked his opinion of the oil spill cleanup, La-forge shared that the cleanup went fairly well from the start. “�ere had to be about 200 to 250 people cleaning up my yard and the sur-rounding area from the be-ginning. �ey’re all trying to get it right, trying to get the river cleaned up,” he said. Dr. Chuck Ide, a professor in the Biology Department at Western Michigan University as well as the director of the Great Lakes Environmental and Molecular Sciences Cen-ter (GLEAMS), was another knowledgeable resource as to what is currently happening with the Kalamazoo River oil spill.

Ide stated that the EPA ad-dressed oil spill issues at a re-cent meeting that he attend-ed. “�e agency made a point that the ‘Superfund site’ that has been a problem for twen-ty years will continue to be an even bigger problem with the oil spill having occurred last year,” Ide said. �e ‘Su-perfund site’ is an agreement that the government made with the state of Michigan which says that since the Ka-lamazoo River is heavily pol-luted with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) the river is to be monitored and worked

on getting cleaned up. Since Enbridge is to blame for last year’s oil spill, the agreement states that the polluters must pay for the cleanup of the waterways, which is what the company is doing.

“Since the river and oth-er waterways are contami-nated with PCBs, which are oil soluble, these con-taminants will mix with the sediments in and around the waterways entering the food chain and causing even more damage. Howev-er, the EPA says this hasn’t happened yet, and they are working on containing the oil so that this doesn’t happen in the future,” Ide said. “Even though the EPA says this isn’t happening, I would feel much more comfortable if I saw some sort of testing or analysis to see that the PCBs are not and have not mixed with the sediments.”

Ide stated that the oil spill adds more problems to the river, “PCBs were the prob-lem in the very beginning (dating back twenty years ago), and now the amount of petroleum in the river is just adding to it,” he said.

When asked his opin-ion of the oil spill and the clean up, Ide said that there is still a very large amount of oil below the surface of the water, and that he is not entirely sure how they will take care of all of it. “There are a lot of issues about how to clean it all up. I am glad Enbridge has managed to clean it up as well as they have, but there’s still work to be done.”

Ide also stated that Ka-lamazoo area has not been greatly a�ected by the oil spill. “�is mostly has to do with the fact that the EPA and Enbridge are working on containing the oil spill in certain areas, so as not to harm any more of the envi-ronment and cause any more harm to people living in the surrounding areas of the af-fected waterways.”

For the past 32 years, Kathy Beauregard West-ern Michigan Univer-sity’s Athletic Director, has had an impact on Bronco sports. Beauregard started a signi�cant role in 1980 as the coach for WMU gymnastics, winning two MAC titles, being named two-time confer-ence coach of the year and later leading WMU’s future on to last years success story. On top of those achievements she is planning on an even better year for all Bronco sports. A word of advice

from Beauregard, attend the games. “We are gaining mo-mentum,” Beauregard said. “But remember that to every great col-

lege sports there are students and faculty being active in com-ing out to games, wearing the school colors and taking advantage of the sprit especially when all of westerns home games are free.” Last year student athlete’s won the mid American conference for women’s sports, while the men’s sports won second place, Beauregard added. In regards to the

future of Bronco athlet-ics, she has much faith in WMU’s hockey team. “WMU was ranked top 10 in the CCHA and took more fans than any other school that attend-ed,” she said. With the Bronco’s new hockey coach having been highly involved in the NHL, and the old coach being sent to assist with the Red Wings, some might say that WMU has cra�ed one strong hockey team. �e future of WMU athletics is a bright one, with many new faces and new outlooks to help push it along. Update coming for the spring semester sports.

Last season, the WMU men’s soc-cer team found itself playing for the Mid-American Conference Champi-onship against an Akron team that would go on to with the National Championship.

�ough the Broncos lost that game, they were still provided with a positive outlook going into their 2011 campaign, which kicked o� at home on Saturday against Cincin-nati.

Unfortunately, that positive out-look will, for now, be accompanied by early adversity, as the Broncos were defeated 3-1 in a game that was neck-and-neck throughout.

A�er taking a 1-0 lead early on a goal by WMU forward Lito Esquivel, Cincinnati was able to tie the game with an unassisted goal towards the end of the �rst half. �e Bearcats would go on to score two goals to-wards the end of the second half—one of which occurred by way of a penalty kick—that proved to ulti-mately be too much for the Broncos

to overcome.WMU head coach Stu Riddle at-

tributes a lack of overall play and leadership as two of the big reasons for the loss on Saturday.

“It was fundamentals. Basic stu� we work on everyday. Our team shape and our ability to pass in pat-terns. It was just completely gone out the window today,” Riddle said. “Ev-eryone was giving the ball away and

Bronco Hockey welcomes new coach, MurrayBy Patrick LittletonSta� Reporter

�e Western Michigan Univer-sity hockey team was coming o� one of the best seasons in program when head coach Je� Blashill made the di�cult decision to leave the program and pursuit his dream of coaching in the NHL last July. Many fans became worried that last years thrills were gone for good, but the hockey team has a great chance to continue its success under new head coach Andy Murray, who be-comes the sixth head coach in pro-

gram history.“I feel very fortunate to have

the job. College coaching jobs are in my opinion some of the most coveted in the game, I’ve always felt that college coaches had an outstanding opportunity to impact many people’s lives so I am excited that WMU has given me this privi-lege,” Murray said. “I recognize the responsibility I have that comes along with that privilege. I’m ex-cited, I’m energized, and I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity because I know there are a lot of quality coaches out there.”

Murray brings loads of head coaching experience to the table with over 20 years of NHL experi-ence under his belt as either an as-sistant or head coach. He was head coach of the Los Angeles Kings from 1999 to 2006 and the St. Louis Blues from 2006 to 2010.

Murray also coached the Cana-dian national team to gold med-als at the World Hockey Champi-onships in 1997, 2003 and 2007. WMU athletic director Kathy Beauregard said coaching experi-ence was one of the most important things she was looking for in her

new hockey coach and that Murray was attractive because of his expe-rience at the highest possible level.A�er the position became vacant, former WMU hockey player Jamal Mayers, who currently plays in the NHL for the Chicago Blackhawks, called Murray and told him how he felt about WMU and that Murray should take a hard look at the head coaching position. Murray coached Mayers during his tenure with the St. Louis Blues. Mayers also called Beauregard and told her he thought Murray would be a perfect �t. Mur-ray then inquired about the job and

spoke to Beauregard.“During that conversation he ab-

solutely stood out, we brought him in and it didn’t take us very long to see that we had a very special indi-vidual in him and one that certainly would come in with a commitment to continue moving our program forward,” Beauregard said.

Murray then visited WMU and subsequent dinner with Beaure-gard and WMU hockey assistant coaches Pat Ferschweiler and Rob

pass and took a knee to run the clock out.

�at was just the begin-ning.

�e following Friday night, WMU travelled to Mt. Pleasant to face the hated Central Michigan University Chippewas on national tele-vision.

It was a nasty night as tradition seems in this ri-

valry, and the Broncos of-fense had its way with the Chips defense all evening. The only problem was that the Broncos lost four of five fumbles, with the most costly coming with less than a minute to go in the game. WMU trailed, 26-22, and were less than five yards from taking a three point lead when a bad quarterback-running-back exchange resulted in a

fumble recovery for CMU on their 3-yard line.

CMU took a knee.For the second time in six

days, WMU lost consecutive heart-breaking conference games against its arch-rival and the team that won the MAC West title. �ose two plays are focal points and driving factors for this 2011 team.

WMU returns 18 starters that tasted these defeats.

there was no one taking con-trol of the team. �ere was also a real lack in leadership, which is a major worry.”

While Riddle was pleased with the early goal that was scored, it was overshadowed by the poor play in attempt-ing to hold the early lead.

“We scored a nice goal, but we couldn’t hold on to the lead,” he said. “I think that, at the end of the day, we really need to watch the vid-

eo and analyze what we can get out of this. And I think it’s going to be a lot more negatives than positives, un-fortunately.”

Riddle said that the team really started to fall apart as the game started to get more and more di�cult.

“When the game got tough, that’s when it all start-ed. I don’t know what we saw there. It was the worst per-formance I’ve seen out of this team in two years,” he said.

While some players noted that there was, to a degree, some discrepancies with the o�ciating, Riddle said that, even if there were a few of-�ciating miscues, they ulti-mately were not to blame.

“(�e players) can sit here and complain about the ref-erees’ decisions—I think, in some aspects, they’ve got a point—but overall we weren’t good enough today,” he said. “We were out-muscled, out-played and out-desired. And that was a real shame. We weren’t creative at all, and we don’t know where that came from. So, maybe, in some re-spects it’s a relief. Because we can never be that bad again, and it’s behind us now.”

He said that the lack of an extra exhibition game may have been a negative decision in hindsight.

“We could’ve made an ex-hibition out of this game, but

we decided to go with a regu-lar season game, and maybe that was an error,” Riddle said. “Maybe we should’ve had another exhibition go-ing into this game instead of only having one preseason match. I don’t know what to say. �ere weren’t a lot of positives to take out of it, un-fortunately.”

Riddle said that, although Cincinnati was able to play an extra preseason game before facing his squad, that didn’t really play a factor in the loss.

“Cincinnati had an extra ninety minutes of playing to-gether against another oppo-nent, which I think helps,” he said. “But, I don’t think that’s what cost us the game. It was a general lack of desire and a seeming lack of interest, for whatever reason.”

�e team will travel to Milwaukee next week to take on their second consecu-tive Big East team; this time, they’ll be facing a squad that Riddle and his team are pret-ty familiar with.

“We’ve seen Marquette twice now in action, so we’re better as far as preparation goes. We can evaluate the opponent and know what to expect from them,” he said. “We have to �nd a way to get the best out of these guys, because we didn’t do that to-day.”

Facca.“It was amazing to watch

the excitement between all three of those coaches in talking about what Rob and Pat brought form the NCAA side of the world that Andy didn’t really have and cer-tainly the parts that Andy brought to them. At that time I believed that it abso-lutely would work,” Beaure-gard said.

Murray knows Fersch-weiler previously, as Fersh-weiler was director of hockey for the Kansas City Stars youth organization from 2005-2009, while Murray coached in nearby St. Louis. Murray decided to retain both assistant coaches, be-lieving continuity would be good for the players.During

her coaching search, Beau-regard was looking for some-one that would be committed to the program for the long haul, having just lost one of the best coaches in program history to the NHL a�er only one season. She said that when talking to Murray, he had a “been there done that” attitude when talking about coaching in the NHL.

“Coaching at the NCAA level is the one thing I have not done, I’ve coached in Canada, I’ve coached in Eu-rope, the Olympics, Stanley cup playo�s, but I have not coached at this level and I’m the kind of person that has kind of a bucket list in life and it was one the things that I had been really interested in doing. I had been contacted by a couple of other univer-sities earlier in the year, but

when I got here on campus it just felt right,” Murray said.

Murray looks to build on last season’s success and cre-ate an environment that is at-tractive to his recruits.

“I want to make sure it’s not a situation where we are saying ‘this is why you should come to Western.’ we have to create a situation here where we are saying, ‘why would you not come to Western?’ we have to make sure it is a program that people want to be a part of.”

Murray expects a slight learning curve with his new job, but believes that is a good thing.

“I hope I’m still learning, because I believe you’re ei-ther getting better or you’re getting worse, and I expect to be learning and getting bet-ter every day,” Murray said.

VaccineFrom Page 5

�e “herd immunity” con-cept explains how a majority of the population that gets vac-cinated creates an impression that the disease is completely gone. People who are not al-ready vaccinated, are also not motivated to get immunized. If they become infected, they could pass the disease on to vulnerable populations, like newborn babies, who are un-able to be vaccinated.

“People don’t realize how close we are every day to get-ting these diseases,” she said.

�e immune system can handle thousands of vac-cines, Skelton said. Some immune systems are weaker than others and require mul-tiple doses of the same shot. For example, shots for two-, four- and six-month-old in-fants are the same. �ey are repeated to strengthen the immune system.

“We can’t rely on just the vaccine doses that are giv-en in childhood,” said Joel

Blostein, a vaccine-prevent-able disease epidemiologist at the Michigan Department of Community Health, 320 S. Walnut St., Lansing.

Even multiple immuniza-tions in childhood can wear o� over time against highly contagious diseases like the Measles and whooping cough, he said.

“�ose antibodies wear down and disappear,” Blostein said. “In order for them to stay at a higher lev-el they need an additional shot.”

�e question is whether the diseases are changing to withstand the vaccines or the immunizations are wearing o�. �e answer, for now, is the latter. However, the Department of Com-munity Health is conducting research on the ability of dis-eases to adapt and create im-munities to the vaccines, he said. �e only disease that is capable to adapt is the in�u-enza virus, or the “�u.”

“Every year, the �u vi-

ruses that circulate change,” Blostein said. “�ere’s some guesswork that goes into it.”

�e �u vaccine is the least e�ective, ranging from 70 to 80 percent protection suc-cess rate when vaccinated, said Dr. Richard VanEnk, the director of infection pre-vention and epidemiology at Bronson Methodist Hospital, 601 John St., Kalamazoo.

“It’s a sneaky little bug-ger,” VanEnk said. “�e virus is really smart.”

VanEnk facilitates around 5,000 to 6,000 vaccinations for all the employees hired at Bronson. In his 17 years of experience, he has never seen a serious allergic reac-tion to a vaccine.

“When you work at a hospital, you’re at risk every day. It is safer to get immu-nized than to get the disease,” VanEnk said. “I never met a vaccine I didn’t like.”

He warns that people should continue to get vac-cinated to prevent these dis-eases from returning.
