Fifth Man vs. Mountain race brings runners from all over mid-Michigan

By Rachael Yadlowsky Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Cody Scanlan | Photo Editor Runners begin the Man vs Mountain 5K on Feb. 2 in downtown Mount Pleasant. The race had participants face multiple obstacles along the way.

About 400 runners from across Central Michigan completed the fifth annual Man vs. Mountain obstacle 5k race on Saturday.

During the race through scenic Mount Pleasant parks, participants ran through the snow and tackled 14 different obstacles.

This was the fifth Man vs. Mountain race in Mount Pleasant. The runners raced through downtown after starting at Mountain Town Station.

Participants aged as young as 10 years old raced to climb over snow mounds, crawl under and over ropes, tug Christmas trees a certain distance and other obstacles.

Some participants had been training to prepare for the race for a few weeks, while others were used to obstacle races and wanted the additional challenge of running in the snow.

“I wanted to try this race because I’ve done a couple 5k races before, but not one with obsta-

cles,” said Mount Pleasant resident Nichole Rein. “It was really fun and kicked my butt, but it was a great experience.”

Shepherd runner Shaun Koski was excited to put another race under his belt.

“I’m used to running races, but the slippery snow was more difficult than I thought,” he said.

“It was hard, but I felt great to get over the climbing wall at the end of the race and finish.”

Some runners had never ran in a 5k race before.

“Oh geez, never again,” Rachel Mallet, Mount Pleasant resident said. “This was my first race, I did it on a quick decision with a friend of mine. I thought I was going to die, but I guess it feels good to finish.”

Man vs. Mountain was Rosebush resident Lelah Bettar’s first 5k.

“Yeah, it sucked while we were running, but I kind of get why people do this now,” she said. “Toward the end, I got really excited for the end and to finish. It felt great to finish and after I recovered, I realized that I kind of love it.”

CMU, it might be time for a change We urge the university to revisit its closure policy and consider the policies in place at other universities On Monday, Jan. 28, while students were walking into their 9 a.m. classes or already on campus for 8 a.m. classes, Central Michigan University finally closed for the day due to inclement weather.

This delayed decision left faculty, staff and students frustrated. Why did the university wait so long to make the right call?

Weather predictions can sometimes be inaccurate, but this storm arrived as expected. In fact, the National Weather Service correctly forecast bitter, cold temperatures last week and the inches of snow that impacted Central Michigan. The university’s own meteorol-

EDITORIAL ogy department correctly tracked the storm’s arrival. We were among the last state universities to close during the storm. On Monday, only slightly behind CMU, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared Michigan to be in a “State of Emergency.”

According to Parking Services, they are currently 5,566 students registered as commuters. This is one third of the student body that has to get in their vehicles and drive to campus. Their safety must come first when discussing closing the university.

Faculty who live outside of Mount Pleasant commuted through bad weather to teach their Monday morning classes, though many canceled class or took personal days due to the severe weather and poor driving conditions.

Yes, CMU did end up closing. Admin-

istrators waited too long to make the right decision.

After the university received backlash about the delayed decision, CMU tweeted that it had been discussing the weather from about 4:45 a.m. that morning. The university knew the weather forecast long before 9 a.m.

We know there isn’t a one-size-fitsall policy, especially for Michigan’s unpredictable weather. The decision to close should always be made by at least 6 a.m. to give faculty, staff and students ample warning.

This decision should also be communicated to everyone rapidly. It would be nice if the electronic announcement on CMU social media channels was quickly followed by a Central Alert.

Some staff and students say they didn’t receive the alert until 10 minutes or more after the closure was announced.

We know canceling class isn’t an easy decision. We know the university is sensitive about closing because we students are paying for our education.

We are paying for our classes and we expect them to take place everyday.

We appreciate your consideration of our tuition dollars. We understand students would be upset if there was just a little bit of snow or ice and class was canceled.

Monday’s forecast was about as reliable as weather forecasts can get. The weather was dangerous enough to close down highways or pose the risk of getting stranded on the highway. In this case, when there is a clear, imminent danger to the university’s campus, most students will agree canceling class is looking out for our safety instead of our tuition.

We know this isn’t an easy situation to manage. But CMU, you can do better than this. You showed us that later in the week. On Tuesday, CMU did the right thing by canceling class for Wednesday well in advance. They even canceled classes after 6 p.m., and gave a few hour advance notice. That’s a good start.

We urge the university to revisit its closure policy and consider the policies in place at other universities. It might be time for a change.

MONTHLY FREE SLICE DAY AT BELL’S GREEK PIZZA TO BEGIN AT 11 A.M. TODAY

THIRD INSTALLMENT OF ‘CONVERSATIONS THAT MATTER’ SERIES TO TAKE PLACE FEB. 6 “Changing Family Roles, Dynamics, and Expectations,” the third installment in the “Conversations that Matter” series will take place at 5 p.m. Feb. 6 in the Bovee University Center Rotunda Room.

The workshop will address the topic of changing families, whether it be ethnically, racially, religiously and stylistically, and families with different gender roles, relationships and parenting styles.

“The definition of what it means to be family is diversifying. We are encouraging others to think about how this is shaping their views on life and family,” said Lauren Grotkowsi, graduate assistant for the Office of Diversity Education. “We hope this conversation allows participants to reflect inwardly on what family means to them, while also reflectively listening to new perspectives from a diverse group of participants.”

When attendees arrive, they will be assigned to a table that will have written

Your friends will be green with Envy!

Bell’s Greek Pizza will begin to serve a free slice of pizza on the first Monday of each month beginning today.

The business was founded in 1967 in Massachusetts. It moved to Michigan in 1972 with a location near Michigan State University. Bell’s started bringing ‘Free Slice Day’ back when they moved to Michigan. Its Mount Pleasant location opened in October.

“We are a communityoriented business,” part owner Pano Bell said. “We like to have the contact with the community.”

The Bells understand customers may be nervous to try new foods, so Free Slice Day offers customers an opportunity to try the pizza with no risk. Bell’s offers many different styles of slices on Free Slice Day so customers

questions and an inter-group dialogue facilitator. Every participant will have an opportunity to share opinions with the group before convening with other tables to discuss the overall themes of the night.

The workshop series encourages dialogue about important subjects within a diverse group of individuals.

Last October, the Office of Diversity Education held its first “Conversations that Matter” discussion.

“Our intention is really to hear from each other,” Chief Diversity Officer A.T. Miller said at the event. “Very few people here are experts, but all of us are people with an interest, or a connection, in some way with this issue.”

The event is free and catered.

All attendees must RSVP to Lauren Grotkowsi at ode@cmich.edu.

have a wide variety of choices.

Free slices are available from 11 a.m. until 4 a.m.

“Free Slice Day was our first advertisement we had when we moved,” said Tula Bell, part owner and co-founder of the pizzeria. “It gets them in the door to try it.”

The Bells are very happy with business so far in Mount Pleasant after opening just months ago. The family values the community and the relationship it is developing with the community, and Mount Pleasant hasn’t disappointed.

“A lot of the locals came out and tried us out on the day we opened,” Pano said. “Now we are starting to get out to the students and every week we are getting more student business. The kids up here are nice too, they have fun, but

they remain respectful.”

The Bells try their best to accommodate customers.

They will change ingredients and make the food the way the customer requests it.

Lake Orion senior Spencer Roberts said he recommends Bell’s and suggests that people try them at least once.

“The ownership is awesome,” Roberts said. “The people are always smiling and the pizza is amazing.”

Bell’s has also used Free Slice Day as a fundraising opportunity with non-profit organizations. “(Free Slice Day) is a way to show appreciation to our customers who come out and support us on the other days,” Pano said.

Snowstorm shutdown Winter weather closes CMU three times in one week

By Dylan Goetz Community Editor news@cm-life.com

In an unprecedented decision due to an unprecedented cold front and snow storm that moved through the state, Central Michigan University closed due to inclement weather three times last week.

Central Michigan Life asked University Communications for data on how many times the university has closed due to inclement weather, and if it has ever closed three times in the same week. Communication officials did not provide those answers, but did offer some context for the past five years.

From 2013-2017, the university shut down four times. Classes were delayed until 11:30 a.m. once during that period. CMU closed twice in the same week in January 1978 during a blizzard. It is not clear if the university has ever shut down three times in the same week.

On Tuesday morning, the university provided students and faculty information about how to keep warm outside of residence halls by not letting any skin be exposed to the cold wind. CMU’s statement said the university “will continue to assess the situation — especially for Wednesday, when the wind chill is predicted to reach minus 27 in Mount Pleasant.”

“Students are urged to stay inside tonight and tomorrow,” the statement, which closed the university on Jan. 30 read. “This is not a time to walk to friends’ houses, businesses, restaurants, etc. Stay inside.”

“During cold weather, your personal safety should be your top priority and preparedness is critical,” the statement read.

What do you do with three unexpected days without class?

Some students studied during their free time. Others heeded advice the advice of university officials and weather forecasters and never left the house. On social media, some students referred to these closings as “snow week” instead of a snow day.

Novi junior Spencer Betts wanted to stay productive during the time he had off from classes.

He bundled up with multiple layers and walked to the Verizon store to get his phone fixed. He was mixed about the decision to close the university and is worried about being behind in classes.

“I know that (adding a week of class) is going to put people off but if we don’t have that extra week, we will definitely be behind on other subjects,” Betts said.

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for a majority of the Lower Peninsula on Sunday night. On Wednesday, the National Weather Service expected wind chills to be as low as minus 27 degrees. There were winds from 14-17 mph with gusts as high as 31 mph.

The university canceled classes at 9 a.m. Monday, Jan. 28, after 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29 and Wednesday, Jan. 30. The university announced that it would remain closed on Thursday at around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Michigan State University, which stayed open on Jan. 29, announced Tuesday it would closed on Wednesday. The University of Michigan called off classes for Wednesday and Thursday on Tuesday.

“As today’s storm has now unleashed its full force, Central Michigan University’s main campus and Global Campus headquarters in Mount Pleasant are closing immediately,” CMU’s statement on Monday read. “All offices, buildings, events and classes are closed or cancelled with the exception of residence halls.”

The “polar vortex surge” that

swept over large parts of the Midwest refers to a constant ring-shaped jet stream that moves around the Earth’s poles. This keeps the cold air around the Arctic and Antarctic regions, said John Allen, an assistant professor of meteorology at CMU. The National Weather Service warned that Mount Pleasant could see anywhere from 8-12 inches of snow until 7 p.m. Monday night. It had been predicting this weather for weeks.

“Well, (I) really can’t understand what (CMU) is thinking in this situation,” Allen tweeted Sunday night.

“Snow is now getting heavy and visibility decreasing. If you are in a situation where you have to drive, please be careful, and definitely carry a shovel as you will need it by end of day.”

According to CMU’s cancelation policy, “the decision (to cancel classes) will be made in consideration of available information.”

Allen said meteorologists have been expecting this weather for the past few days.

“It is not often that the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids

issues a winter storm warning,” he said.

On Monday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency due to the extreme weather forecast. Later that week, Whitmer and Consumers Energy asked Michiganders to turn their thermostats down to 65 degrees. A fire at one of the Consumers plants and an increased use of natural gas during the polar vortex led to a drain on the energy supply.

“Keeping Michiganders safe during this stretch of dangerously cold temperatures is our priority,” Whitmer said in a statement.

“Such widespread, extreme conditions have not occurred in Michigan for many years and it is imperative that we are proactive with record-low temperatures being predicted by the National Weather Service.”

Sault Ste. Marie junior Travis Zaborowski didn’t feel safe driving to class. He had an 8 a.m. class Monday and made the trip from Copper Beech apartments on East Blue Grass Road, near Menards, to campus.

“The roads weren’t plowed,”

Zaborowski said. “There weren’t many cars out.”

The decision to formally close the university at 9 a.m. was met with backlash from students and faculty on social media.

Canton freshman Tacoya Williams went to class at 8 a.m. before CMU called off school.

“It was unfair,” Williams said.

“Nothing was plowed yet and it was still snowing.”

Many stated that they felt the university ignored storm warnings and put students at risk. At Tuesday’s Academic Senate meeting, Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Barrie Wilkes explained the decision to close on Monday.

“When I got to work, things deteriorated pretty rapidly in terms of weather, and so we made the decision to close,” he said.

Wilkes said he is the person who decides if CMU closes for weather issues. He explained that he also discusses the decision with other administrators and staff members before making an announcement.

He said the decision to close is based on safety, not finances.

Students experience different dorm temperatures during winter weather

By Courtney Pedersen Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

While the weather outside was reaching negative temperatures, students living in residence halls on Central Michigan University’s campus were also experiencing extreme conditions. Some students dealt with an indoor cold snap, while others suffered through a heat wave.

Across campus, students reported how they were attempting to stay warm, but not too warm. In North campus dormitories, students were constantly trying to warm up.

Sterling Heights freshman Cole Truitt lives in Barnes Hall. He said he wore his winter North Face jacket most of the day in an attempt to stay warm. “(Wednesday especially was) really cold. The windows (weren’t) doing a good job of keeping me warm cause the cold air leaks through, even though the heaters in both rooms are all the way up,” Truitt said.

Residents of the Towers were also struggling to stay warm. Warren freshman Benjamin Jolliffe, who lives on the second floor of Cobb Hall, said

Hunter McLaren | Staff Photographer Livonia freshman Becca Cwiek and Illinois freshman Bridget Peterson pose for a photo in their dorm room on Jan. 30 in Carey Hall.

he didn’t have any issues with temperature – until the snow hit.

“Our heater hasn’t been doing a great job at actually heating our room. I know a lot of people have the same issue,” Jolliffe said. “There’s normally never any issues with living in the Towers, but when the snow started to hit it began to get considerably colder inside the dorms.”

Jolliffe said he wore layers and stayed under multiple blankets, but he still managed to be productive while combating the cold.

Huntington Woods freshman Trevor Williams, who lives on the fourth floor of Wheeler Hall, said he had also been wearing warmer clothes and using more blankets to stay warm.

In East campus, different residential halls are experiencing a range of room temperature problems. While some students living in Woldt Hall are dealing with rooms that are too warm, some in Fabiano have complained of having the opposite issue.

Troy senior Shannon Seraphinoff, a resident of the terrace level of Fabiano Hall, said she had been constantly wearing a sweatshirt and leggings or sweatpants while being under several blankets.

“In order to get warmer, I take preventative measures. I try to take my showers earlier in the evening so that my hair has time to dry before bed,” Seraphinoff said. “I tend to not spend a lot of time in my room during the day.”

As her East campus community members struggle to stay warm, Clinton Township freshman Ellie Mendoza, who lives on the first floor of Woldt Hall, deals with a warm room. Mendoza’s room was at an average temperature of 62 degrees, with thermostat off and window slightly open.

“I usually crack the window open, but not all the way, to avoid damages in the heater,” Mendoza said. “If

I’m not going out then I change into shorts and a t-shirt.”

Jackson sophomore Katie Monske, a third floor resident of Woldt Hall, said even when temperatures dipped into negative double digits, their window was cracked.

“If the window is open for too long, it’ll get chilly, but it heats up quickly,” Monske said. “We don’t have the heater on to prevent the room from getting too warm.”

Assistant Vice President of Facilities Management Jonathan Webb said that different building structures may affect the temperature in dorm rooms.

“With extremely cold temperatures and wind chills, our facilities and their occupants likely will be impacted as different types of building structures, windows, and mechanical systems can perform differently during temperature extremes,” Webb said.

Facilities Management has received a few isolated reports of temperatures, but nothing on a larger scale, Webb said. He stressed that feedback is important in helping make students safe during the cold weather.

Students can find how to submit a service request on the Facilities Management cmich webpage.

Vice President Wilkes explains Monday snow closure to Academic Senate

By Sara Kellner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Barrie Wilkes explained his decision to close the university during the snowstorm on the morning of Jan. 28 at the Academic Senate meeting on Jan. 29.

Wilkes said the discussion started at 4:45 a.m. when Jonathan Webb, associate vice president of facilities management, called him. Wilkes, who lives in Alma, said he looked out the window and it wasn’t snowing yet. After some discussion, they decided not to go through the closure process. Wilkes said it still wasn’t snowing when he got up and drove to campus.

“When I got to work, things deteriorated pretty rapidly in terms of weather, and so we made the decision to close,” he said. Wilkes said he is the person who decides whether CMU closes for weather issues, although he discusses the decision with other administrators and staff members before making that decision.

He also said the decision to close is based on safety, not finances.

asked why the sidewalk along Washington Street, which runs from Anspach Hall to Ronan Hall, wasn’t plowed. She said that she and many other students use that sidewalk to get from Lot 22 to North Campus.

Wilkes explained that in CMU’s critical path map, the critical paths are the first priority of Facilities Management. However, he also explained that the sidewalk Colvin referred to, among others, should have been plowed after the critical paths were completed. He said if there is a path that isn’t plowed or salted enough, students and faculty can call Facilities Management at (989) 774-6547 to report it.

our peers.”

Davies said he wants to increase CMU’s market share in Detroit and Grand Rapids. He also wants to recruit more students from other states like Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin.

His goals for CMU include having students from all 50 states – currently the university has students from 47 – to increase out-of-state enrollment to 30 percent and to obtain a student population of 22,000.

He wants to achieve these goals by improving recruitment efforts in high schools.

“Recruitment for a (new freshman) begins 18 months before their first semester,” he said.

DECLINING ENROLLMENT President Robert Davies talked about the CMU’s enrollment decline.

Davies explained that enrollment has steadily dropped for 10 years, but the most significant decrease has happened in the last five years.

There have been large decreases, Davies pointed out, specifically in the number of freshmen and transfer students.

“We must face the fact that our market share over the last few years has dropped,” Davies said. “That means we are not keeping pace with

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS The Senate approved a change to the computer science major, which will increase the amount of science classes students are required to take.

The major now requires nine computer science classes, four math and statistics classes and nine credits of computer science electives.

With the change, the major will still have the math requirement, and will add a requirement for 6-10 credits of a natural science like biology, chemistry or physics.

Many people complain about having a case of the “winter blues,” especially when severe winter weather arrives at Central Michigan University like it did last week.

University psychiatrist James Hillard has researched seasonal depression for years.

Now, he is offering more insight about the disorder better known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). According to Hillard, about 5 percent of America’s population suffers from SAD. It’s a subtype of depression that occurs in some people at the beginning of winter when the days are shorter and the skies are usually overcast, blocking out the rays of the sun.

Hillard wants you to know that SAD is real and there are things you can do to make yourself feel better.

How long have you been researching SAD? Hillard: I did my medical school in California and then my residency in North Carolina. SAD was only recognized in the 1980s. I had finished my residency in the ‘80s and I was, at first, skeptical.

I didn’t see much of this in North Carolina and the other western and southern states I had been in. Prior to moving to Michigan, I was at the University of Cincinnati for a long time and started believing.

After living in Michigan for the past 10 years, I’ve realized that this is a relatively frequent disorder that is frequently not recognized. Since then, I’ve been obsessed with it and have been trying to help those suffering with it.

So, SAD is more common in Michigan than it is in southern states?

It’s very clear that it’s related to how much darkness you are exposed to. In the United States, you have maybe 2 percent of people with SAD, but in Alaska, it’s around 10 percent, and in Michigan, it’s around 5 percent. With the shorter days in the winter, many people are driving to work or school while it’s dark. Then (they are) driving back home when it’s dark, so the lack of sunlight is a huge factor.

When it’s so cold, many don’t want to go outside and don’t get the needed sunlight before it’s dark again.

What are some common symptoms of SAD? People with SAD are likely to experience usual depressive symptoms: insomnia, not eating, no energy, no interest in things.

A lot of people get what we call subsyn-

PSYCHIATRIST JAMES HILLARD

dromal seasonal mood changes.

So the range of SAD can be from a very mild case, to something that is very severe. Most of the severe cases of SAD, however, have been with people who have experienced depressive episodes in the past.

Has there been any indication that college students are more susceptible to

SAD than others?

People who spend more time outside, like students do in the summer, tend not to get (SAD) as much. When winter hits, and many students are sometimes in a class or studying all day, they don’t get out much.

What are some inexpensive,easy remedies that students and others suffering from SAD can use to feel better?

Being outside on a sunny day and exercising regularly can help. Some people with a severe case of SAD might find relief with anti-depressants or other medication as well. (These) are no more effective than light therapy with a light box. I’ve actually been trying to encourage patients to try light therapy more often and have been thinking of even buying more light boxes and lending them out to people for them to try.

What services does CMU offer to students, staff or faculty who may suffer from SAD? I think a lot of students don’t know that we have psychiatry services on campus.

We have two psychiatrists on campus. The only other psychiatrist in Isabella County just retired, so I’ve been (seeing) more university faculty, as well as students.

Apart from the psychiatric clinic, the university counseling center can also be a great source of help for people who suffer from seasonal depression.

For those suffering from SAD or any depressive disorder, appointments with Hillard can be set up by calling the psychiatric clinic at 989-774-6599. Students and faculty can also contact the counseling center to schedule an appointment to meet with a counselor.

entral Michigan University felt the wrath of a winter storm last week, forcing campus shutdowns due to extreme conditions.

On Jan. 30, 1980, Central Michigan Life published a photo of the Cross Country Ski class heading out over a fresh snowfall.

The caption read: “Finally! With snow on the ground, Monday was the day for members of Carole Howard’s cross country skiing class to start learning. The class received some quick lessons from Howard and then it was off to the trails for some skiing.”

With large accumulations of snow, icy temperatures and wind chill warnings, students were urged to stay inside during the first arctic blast of 2019.

things you do...

It’s in the simple ....

The way you listen ..

The way you care.

IS IN THE AIR.

For three of the Central Michigan men’s basketball team’s five starters and eight of the 15 active roster members, it was the first time they hosted rival Western Michigan at home.

They showed in the opening minutes of the game that they understood the meaning of the rivalry.

CMU (16-6, 5-4 Mid-American Conference) opened up a 15-point lead early in the first half and brought a nearly full McGuirk Arena to its feet. The Chippewas blew out the Broncos (6-15, 0-8) by a final score of 85-64.

“You never know as a coach how a team with new faces is going to react to a rivalry like this with a larger crowd than normal,” said head coach Keno Davis. “Sometimes you try a little too hard offensively. I felt like for a little while we did; maybe even the whole game. Defensively, we got what we hoped for by feeding off the crowd and making stops.”

The Chippewas are now 10-2 at home on the season and have won their last two games against WMU.

WHAT HAPPENED Following an 8-2 run to start the game for CMU, junior guard Dallas Morgan came off the bench to continue his dominance as the sixth man with back-to-back triples. He then hit a layup and CMU led 20-8.

The Chippewas would get the lead to as high as 15 points in the first half. However, after a Broncos’ sophomore guard Michael Flowers layup and a string of other buckets, WMU trailed 27-19 at the 7:47 mark of the first half.

The Broncos kept charging. By halftime they had trimmed CMU’s lead to four points, led by 16 points from Flowers.

After a 8-of-9 shooting start for CMU, they finished the half 6-of-27 from the field.

After trading buckets for the opening five minutes of the second half, a junior forward David DiLeo triple and senior guard Larry

Hunter McLaren | Staff Photographer Senior guard Shawn Roundtree celebrates after making a three point shot against in-state rival Western Michigan University on Feb. 2 in McGuirk Arena.

Austin Jr. layup put CMU ahead 51-41 with 13:45 left in the second half.

“We have a tendency to wear other teams down,” Davis said. “Some of the things you do against us in the first half, you might struggle to do in the second half. Even more so in this game it was a learning process of us of getting in the right position and finding better defensive help in the second half.”

The Chippewas would only extend that lead, at one point to its largest of the evening at 21 points, where they would also finish the game.

“The energy was great all game and we fed off of it,” Austin said. “Our practices leading up to this game were intense. I think that translated into our good start and finish. If you practice with a high intensity it will show in the game. We did that this week.”

WMU shot 53 percent from the field in the first half but were held to 37 percent in the second half. CMU forced 20 turnovers on the Broncos that resulted in 25 points.

Austin led the Chippewas with a double-double, scoring 22 points with 11 rebounds. Junior forward Rob Montgomery scored 16 points on 7-of-14 shooting, senior guard Shawn Roundtree tallied 13 points and Morgan added 11 off the bench in 15 minutes.

After transferring from Xavier and Vanderbilt, Austin said this rivalry was just as intense as his previous schools foes.

“The rivalry was good and, honestly, I really enjoyed being a part of it,” Austin said. “It’s definitely up there with my previous rivals of Tennessee and Cincinnati.”

Next for CMU is arguably the toughest test it will face in MAC play. The Chippewas travel to Buffalo for a 3:30 p.m. tip on Feb. 9 following six days with no games.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | FEB. 4, 2019

Lifelong family friendship brings Oesterle, McCullen together at CMU the team, but I do whatever I can to help the program.”

Carter’s goal is to follow in the footsteps of Guevara by making a name for himself in the women’s college basketball coaching world.

Down the road, Oesterle plans to take over as a head coach, preferably at Central Michigan.

She already has one name at the top of her list for an assistant coach.

His name is Carter McCullen.

By Evan Petzold Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Heather Oesterle doubts she would have made it as a women’s basketball player at the University of Michigan without the help of Bill McCullen. She also believes that without her mentor she wouldn’t be the associate head coach of the Central Michigan women’s basketball program.

Oesterle was a four-year student-athlete at Michigan, serving as the team captain in 2001-02. She helped the Wolverines, led

by Sue Guevara, to two NCAA Tournament and two NIT appearances.

Now, working alongside Oesterle is Bill’s son, Carter McCullen.

Everything fell into place for Oesterle and her student assistant Carter, who is a junior. In order to understand their family-friend bond and journey to the Chippewas, look to Bill – a high school girl’s basketball coaching legend. Bill coached the DeWitt High School varsity girl’s basketball team for 22 years, from 1996-2019.

When he wasn’t spending time with his own team, he worked with Oesterle during her middle and high school years – even though she attended Mason High School just 23 miles south on US-127.

“She was so dedicated to basketball and so hungry to learn,” Bill said. “You could tell Heather was going to be something special.”

It began in seventh grade. Oesterle was a 12-year-old with dreams, aspirations and a lot of grit. The gym was a pole barn on Oesterle’s family farm. Bill drove out into the country, picked up Oesterle and her sister, Jennifer, and went to the barn for practice.

When Oesterle was up for a challenge, which happened to be often, Bill brought four or five 20-year-old friends with him.

In the frigid winter months, an inadequate heating system was turned on.

With an insignificant amount of warmth, Heather’s breath could be seen with ease due to the cold seeping into the barn. But that didn’t stop her or Bill from putting in work on the concrete court at the farm.

Advancing from middle to high school, the training intensified. Bill pushed Oesterle to her limits. He taught her to her to master the fundamentals of the game.

“I wasn’t the most athletic player, but I was able to go to Michigan and play because of the skill work he did with me,” Oesterle said. “He has a great mind for the game. I learned a lot from him.”

Oesterle graduated from Mason High in 1998. In her career for the Wolverines, she logged 482 points, 344 rebounds, 182 assists, 99 steals and 28 blocks. While Oesterle was playing at the college level, Carter and his family made many trips to Crisler Center in Ann Arbor to watch her play.

CM-LIFE.COM/ MULTIMEDIA

Cody Scanlan | Photo Editor Student Assistant Carter McCullen (left) and Associate Head Coach Heather Oesterle (right) pose for a photo on Jan. 22 in McGuirk Arena.

Born in 1997, Carter was along for the ride.

Whether it was at his father’s practices, watching games or hanging out at the Oesterle family farm, Carter lived in the gym. He knew who Heather was from the moment he started bouncing a basketball.

“Heather was great for Carter,” Bill said.

“Her jersey hung in his bedroom for years growing up, which was probably odd to his buddies, but he really looked up to her.”

Five years after Oesterle rejoined forces with Guevara in Mount Pleasant, Carter was a senior at DeWitt High School in 2016. Oesterle approached Carter with the idea of being a manager, traveling with the team, getting some CMU basketball gear and building his career resume.

“I just felt it was the right choice to work with the women’s team here,” Carter said.

“It’s a successful program, has coach (Guevara) and my family ties.”

Following Carter’s decision to attend CMU, Oesterle stepped into Guevara’s office in the summer. After a short conversation, Guevara decided to bring on Carter as a student manager, which he did as a freshman in 2016-17 and sophomore in 2017-18.

During the recent offseason, Carter decided to pick up an additional duty – video coordinator. He sets up equipment before and tears it down after practice. Carter is in charge of uploading film after home games for Guevara and other coaches around the country. He prepares film of the opposing team during the days leading up to a game and plays it on the bus en route to CMU’s destination. He also helps with analytics, rebounds for players in need of extra shooting time, takes stats in

practice, hands out towels and much more.

“Whatever is needed, I have to do it.

That’s my role,” Carter said. “I’m part of
