Henry Palattella Sports Reporter

When 2016 began Cleveland had beenwithout a championship for 52 straight yearsFast forward to October and the Cleveland Indians are four wins away from giving thecity a second championship in four months

The Indians punched their ticket to the 112Fall Classic Wednesday night when Carlos San-tana caught Troy Tulowitzkirsquos pop-fly to end thegame giving the Indians a 3-0 win and a 4-1series victory Santana fell to the ground withhis arms above his head while a dogpile formedbehind him on the mound an image that willstick in every Cleveland fanrsquos mind for the rest of their life

The win washed away 19 years of frustra-tion for Indians fans The team last played inthe World Series in 1997 when they lost to theFlorida Marlins in seven games The Indianswere last in the American League Champion-ship Series in 2007 a series in which they Indi-ans also lost in seven games

The Indians almost beat the Red Sox in that ALCS but then-third base coach Joel Skinner decided to hold Indians outfielder Kenny Lof-ton at third in the seventh inning Lofton ndash whowas the winning run ndash never scored and theBoston Red Sox eventually came back to win

All that is a distant memory now replacedby happier images of Indians players danc-ing around in the Blue Jays clubhouse cladin postseason shirts that are soaked with cel-ebratory champagne

The Indians relied on key hits and a strong bull-pen to gather their postseason victories a templatethat was made famous by the Kansas City Royals

on their path to the world series last seasonThis template worked for the Tribe as they

swept the Red Sox in the American LeagueDivision Series and needed only five games totake out the Blue Jays in the ACLS

The Indians came into the postseason with adepleted pitching staff as rotational mainstays Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar both suf-fered injuries in the regular season that havekept them out of the postseason thus far

These injuries forced the Indians to use RyanMerritt as their starter in game five against the Blue Jays Merritt ndash who came into that matchupwith 11 career innings under his belt ndash respond-ed by throwing four 23 shutout innings

These injuries could have spelled deathfor some teams but they proved to be mereinconveniences for the Indians as they used anunconventional three-man rotation for most of the postseason

The Indians starting pitching threw 38 23innings through those games while the Indi-ans bullpen almost equaled them as they tal-lied 33 13 innings 11 23 of those inningswere thrown by Indians stud reliever AndrewMiller Miller ndash who won the ALCS MVP ndash struck out 20 batters in those innings whileallowing only four hits

The Indians will face the winner of NLCS featuring the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chi-cago Cubs in the world series and no matterwho they face theyrsquoll be in for a challenge The Dodgers currently hold a 2-1 series lead

The Cubs compiled a 103-58 record whichwas the best record in baseball

First pitch of the world series will be inCleveland on Tuesday Oct 25 at 7 pm

Mike Kerrigan a candidaterunning for Portage County com-missioner said local governmentofficials unfortunately can dovery little about this issue

Legislation cannot be passedat the county level because of thelimits placed on county govern-ments However Portage Coun-ty commissioners support theefforts of organizations such asthe Mental Health and RecoveryBoard which provides assistanceto drug-related treatment facili-ties including Townhall II andColeman Professional Services

The board helps fund a vari-ety of drug rehabilitation servicesincluding detox

ldquoThe number one goal hereis keeping people aliverdquo JoelMowery executive director ofthe Mental Health and Recov-ery Board said ldquoThe numberof people that have died fromoverdoses has continued to rise every yearrdquo

The county is also in themidst of establishing a drugcourt which would serve as analternative to jail or prison timefor people charged with low-level felonies

ldquoTheyrsquore really looking at theentire spectrumrdquo Kerrigan said in support of the initiative ldquoYouhave to start with the problem and how do we get them inthe right place that they need to gordquo

Portage County Court ofCommon Pleas Judge BeckyDoherty submitted the propos-al to add a drug court docket to the system in March She hasbeen working on implementing a drug court since taking thebench a year and a half ago

Though the resources thedrug court will offer has alreadybeen put into place Dohertysaid becoming a certified drugcourt will allow the county toapply for a grant and otheradditional funding which willallow the court to hire more probation officers CurrentlyDoherty said the probation offi-cers are ldquostretched thinrdquo tryingto monitor all the defendants

ldquoWersquore already doing itrdquoDoherty said ldquoWe just donrsquothave the certification yet Myprobation department is verydiligent in trying to combat thisproblem The heroin addicts andthe ones that are at risk are cer-tainly on our radar all the timerdquo

Doherty said the drug courttitled Portage County Hope Pro-gram uses a variety of resourcesto help defendants overcometheir addiction including accessto Vivitrol a shot designed toblock the cravings for heroinbut the most important aspect toa successful recovery is the will-ingness of the defendant to wantto overcome their addiction and participate in the program

ldquoFamilies who have drugaddicts in their lives think that drug courts are the answerrdquoDoherty said ldquoIt can only bethe answer for folks that want to participate The success orlack of it depends primarily onthe defendant I can offer all of the resources I can put all of itout there but they have to want to do itrdquo

Cleveland-Chicago World Series would be a match

made in heaven

Israel Galarza III Columnist

The Chicago Cubs havenrsquot won the World Series in 107 seasons and the Cleveland Indians havenrsquot won the World Series since 1948 (to give that some context that was the same year that President Harry Truman was elected into office)

Itrsquos a safe assumption to say that these loyal fan bases are dying for their respective championship droughts to come to a fulfilling end A Cleveland-Chicago series is a matchup made in baseball heaven and we may be less than two weeks away from seeing one of those historic streaks broken

However the Los Angeles Dodgers might have something to say about that Back-to-back domi-nating performances by starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill have put the Dodgers in the driverrsquos seat of the National League Champi-onship Series Heading into Game 4 the Cubs find themselves reeling on their heels

With the exception of the 8-4 onslaught in Game 1 the Dodgers have been able to silence the power-ful Cubs lineup that helped yield 103 wins during the regular season Big names like Anthony Rizzo Kris Bryant and Jason Heyward have been shut down by the top of the Dodgers pitching rotation

In order for the fans to witness the historic Chi-cago-Cleveland matchup the Cubs need to tighten their boot straps and play like the team that lead

Addiction doesnrsquot exclude Skye McEowen Print Managing Editor

Sitting in my room I hear a door down-stairs shut For some reason I feel my heart-beat quicken and a faint dropping sensation in my stomach Dread sets in just over a roommate leaving for class

Itrsquos always one of the first things I bring up about my anxiety Something about the sound of doors shutting and especially if they slam Hearing voices in the distance or watching an argument also did the trick

Growing up I heard the front door slam more than once whenever my brother picked a fight with my parents To cope I sat uncomfortably in my room watching car-toons on high volume

It started with the arguments see-ing my brother show up at home unan-nounced after maybe a day or two Hestarted hanging out with the ldquobad crowdrdquoin school and drugs followed

His addiction took a few years for me to notice something was wrong For a while it was hard to believe my brother had started doing drugs There was no way I thought We all had great childhoods loving parents a good home mdash drug addiction didnrsquot make sense to me at the time

By late middle school my brother was going in and out of rehabs but to no availmdashgive or take a couple months of sobriety

Though he was mostly out of the house whether he left on his own or was kicked out his addiction found its height in heroin

By my later high school years my brother was out in California mdash homeless and still battling his addiction My parents were left with no choice but to kick him out which I still know has to be a heartbreaking decision to make about onersquos child

One night I woke up in a panic and rushed to my computer to look up the Los Angeles Times obituaries in case I saw my brotherrsquos name

Eventually he was arrested for robbery andwent to prison After getting out the first timehe was arrested again for breaking parole

Back to prisonThe more we grew up and understood

heroin addiction the more my other brother and I grew closer as siblings realizing the oldest of the three of us was in trouble

When I was a freshman in college my brotherrsquos addiction had existed for about eight years I received a call from my mom one night preceding a text saying my broth-er was out of prison Shortly after I found myself on a plane to LAX as a ball of nerves I hadnrsquot seen him in maybe four years at that point and I hadnrsquot spoken to him for at most a couple years at a time

The person I saw with my mom at bag-gage claim was far different from the person Irsquod seen in Ohio in high school He had color to his skin was no longer skinny and gaunt and actually looked happy

I wish I could say the column ends there but addictions arenrsquot as fair as we want them to be After nearly a year of sobriety he relapsed On a steady downward spiral from there he was out of the house again

Itrsquos nearly 10 years now since my broth-errsquos addiction started Irsquove come to peace with the fact that unfortunately heroin can touch any life I learned that no matter how well yoursquore raised mdashor how careful you are mdash no one is exempt from addiction

Flashes should consider a Hazell return

Ty Sugick Columnist

Purdue University football decided to let former Kent State head coach Darrell Hazell go

over the weekend after their loss to the Univer-sity of Iowa Hazell posted a 9-33 record with

the Boilermakers in a little over three seasons

of work Although Hazellrsquos time in Purdue was noth-

ing short of a disappointment his two seasons at Kent State were much different Hazell went 16-10 as the Flashesrsquo head coach

In Hazellrsquos second season with the Flash-es he managed to take the team to the MAC

Championships and land the team in the Top

25 Behind Hazellrsquos coaching and the legs of Dri Archer the Flashes success nearly land-ed them a Bowl Championship Series game

appearance in 2012 After heading that 11-3 season Hazell

quickly jumped at the opportunity to take on a

bigger program Coaching a Big 10 team mdash and

the payday associated with the job mdash made

leaving a fairly reasonable choice Since Hazell left neither he nor Kent State

have found success The idea of Hazell returning to the univer-

sity fascinating current coach Paul Haynes

is a defensive mastermind with a knack for

recruiting so adding Hazell to the staff would

be a bonus The Flashes have lacked that flare on

offense since Hazell took his talents to the Big 10 but the offensive threats the Flashes cur-rently have resemble the characteristics of the

high-powered offense Hazell took to the MAC Championship a few years back

Fifth-year senior wide receiver Ernest

Calhoun has every bit of flash that Archer once carried for the blue and gold Freshman

tailback Justin Rankin looks to be a bud-ding star Add in impressive redshirt fresh-men quarterback Mylik Mitchell (once he is

healthy and able to play) and the Flashes could provide a dynamic offense again with

the right signal caller Hazell could be that guy mdash he has ties to

Kent State and comes from a solid coaching

pedigree having spent time under The Ohio

State Universityrsquos Jim Tressel After tanking as a head coach Kent State

has the opportunity to sell Hazell on being a

coordinator Combing the stingy defensive

approach that Haynes preaches with the up-tempo potent offense Hazell pushes could

make quite the duo at Kent State Recruiting Hazell back might be a chal-

lenge but a Hazell-Haynes pairing could bring

Kent State a winning football program

the major leagues in wins during 2016 On the other hand the Indians had little trouble

in the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays Game 4 was the only time in the series that the potent Jays lineup showed the same zest that brought them this far in the AL pennant

Excluding Game 4 2015 AL MVP Josh Donald-son and important Jays players like Edwin Encar-nacion and Jose Bautista were silenced by the sti-fling Indians pitching For the first three games of the series Cleveland successfully relied on the best bullpen in the majors lead by closer Andrew Miller to lock down the potent Jays lineup

Mariano Rivera-esque pitching strong outings from starters and clutch hitting from the bats of Francisco Lindor Mike Napoli and Jason Kipnis helped the Indians make quick work of Toronto

No matter who yoursquore rooting for this postsea-son itrsquos difficult to ignore the looming possibil-ity of an exciting Cubs-Indians World Series The heartbreak for both franchises throughout their histories will make that series mdash if it happens mdash a must-see

The closest the Indians have come to winning the World Series was in 1997 when they lost to the expansion Florida Marlins team in Game 7 of the World Series The closest the Cubs have come to winning the World Series was in 2003 when they lost to the Florida Marlins in the NLCS

Now each team may have the opportunity to play spoiler in baseballrsquos biggest stage

A Magrsquos Dorsquos and Donrsquots of thrifting A Magazine

Guest Columnist Secondhand shopping is a world of its

own that many of us have embraced with tight wallets and open minds Thrifting offers an (often overwhelming) world of possibilities to the frugal shopper (ahem us) Are you a ldquothriftaholicrdquo or does the idea of wearing used clothing make you cringe Fret not A Magazine offers our biggest tips and tricks to scoring the perfect lsquofit

Dorsquos Know the discounts Oftentimes thrift

stores have deals by color tags or even stu-dent discounts Call in advance or check with the clerk manager to see what offers are available Wersquoll never say no to saving a dol-lar mdash even when itrsquos already a dollar

Double triple and quadruple check There is nothing worse than finding a vintage design-er item taking it home to show off and realizingitrsquos damaged Sizing on these items may strayfrom what yoursquore used to Returns are prettymuch a no-go at all thrift and consignmentstores Try-ons are a must ndash make sure the itemyoursquore purchasing is in good condition unlessof course you plan on upcycling

Accessorize Leather belts at departmentstores are worth the cash mdash but we can total-ly see you rocking a vintage leather belt thatrsquos

just as nice and a whole lot more affordableAccessories at thrift stores shouldnrsquot be over-looked Right now wersquore scouring every rackpossible for vintage neck scarves and beadedhand purses Shopping discounts means youcan try out trends at a lower cost

Donrsquots Settle Itrsquos cheap yes but itrsquoll also take

up sacred space in your closet Just because it sort of fits it doesnrsquot mean yoursquoll never find something better Thrifting should be done often and with an open mind ndash donrsquot buy it just because itrsquos close enough or at a ridiculously affordable price Your treasure awaits Maybe just not today

Skim Give yourself at least an hour to look through everything Or if an hour of shopping makes you scoff make a day trip with a group of friends to analyze through multiple sets of eyes Itrsquos a process but worth it Thrift stores coordinate by color size and style Looking through the colors you wear most often will cut down on time perusing Standout fabrics and textures are easy to spot ndash we encourage experimenting with something new since thrifting is inex-pensive and this takes time

Remembering a Kent State legend Editorrsquos note This is the second of a two-part storywhich can all be found on KentWiredcom

Nick Buzzelli Sports Reporter

Don James was a football mastermindthe man who had every second of a practiceaccounted for from the length of water breaksto the precise duration of the weekly intrasquad scrimmages

His coaching philosophy was simple thoughmdash one that emphasized the importance of dili-gence and continually stressed the need fororganization within the program It was a mixof good old-fashioned hard work and soundfundamental instruction

ldquoWhat I remember specifically is how differ-ent the two coaches were Coach James was verydisciplined very organizedrdquo said Ted Bowersoxa quarterback who played for both Puddingtonand James after being recruited out of CantonMcKinley High School in 1968 ldquoHe had a verymethodical way about coachingrdquo

Entering Jamesrsquo first year at Kent State theNational Collegiate Athletic Association permit-ted programs to play an extra contest extend-ing the regular season to 11 games With anadditional week on the schedule Mike Lude ndashKent Statersquos athletic director ndash contacted Earle Edwards North Carolina State Universityrsquos headcoach with a simple proposal

North Carolina State an Atlantic Coast Con-ference program needed an easy guaranteedwin to pad its schedule for the rankings KentState on the other hand simply needed a largepayout from an established program to fund its athletic department

So naturally getting Edwards and North Car-olina Statersquos athletic director to agree to schedulea MAC team that hadnrsquot posted a winning recordin six years wasnrsquot too much of a challenge The real test however was how James was going to transform a program coming off a 3-7 season intoa conference contender

His head coaching debut against the Wolf-pack ended with a 23-21 win which promptedEdwards to tell Lude ldquoFriendship is fine butdonrsquot ever call me again for a favorrdquo

But Kent State lost its next five games by anaverage of 17 points

Jamesrsquo first season at Kent State wasnrsquot ideal but the flashes of resiliency ndash the NC State upsetan 11-point victory over Xavier University andshutting out Marshall University ndash were indica-tors of what could potentially happen with hisnucleus of talent

And the following season when the NCAAruled that freshmen were now eligible to playfor the varsity team everything seemed to come together

Now James and his young staff of coaches ndashmany of whom were only years removed frombeing graduate assistants ndash were able to playtheir freshmen immediately without a waitingperiod which meant that the team he fieldedwas a mix of both his players and those whowere recruited by Puddington

Though the 1972 season began with a tieagainst The University of Akron and a 34-pointloss to the University of Louisville Kent Statemanaged to win four of its five league conteststo clinch the conference title the first and onlyin school history which led to a berth in the Tan-gerine Bowl

ldquoCoach James coached from a tower and it was like he was watching all the time You didnrsquotwant to let him down therefore you put forthwhatever effort it wasrdquo said Handy Lampley aKent State running back from 1968-71 ldquoBut atthe same time he was a down-to-earth guyrdquo

The longer James was at Kent State the more wins the program accumulated In 1973 theGolden Flashes went 9-2 and narrowly missedout on another league title after a late season lossto Miami (Ohio) And the following year saw an upset win at Syracuse University and a 7-4 fin-ish

Lude realized he wouldnrsquot be able to keepJames much longer Mid-major schools were

constantly being used as stepping stones to getcoaches into power conference programs andKent State wasnrsquot any different

What he didnrsquot know however was when he would be receiving that phone call Settling in Seattle

Joe Kearney needed a new football coach andhe knew exactly who he wanted Having seenthe success that James put together at Kent StateKearney ndash the University of Washingtonrsquos ath-letic director from 1969-1976 ndash recognized thathe would be a perfect replacement to fill the voidthat was left after Jim Owens resigned in 1974

Every time Kearney saw Lude he would con-stantly joke that James would be the ideal candi-date to replace Owens But every time he asked Lude if he could interview James for the vacancyhe always responded with a simple ldquoabsolutely notrdquo

Setting the working relationship aside how-ever Lude saw this as a major advancement inJamesrsquo coaching career He could always hireanother coach but James wouldnrsquot always have the opportunity to guide a power program

Kent State had served its purpose for JamesIt gave him his first opportunity as a head coach and enabled him to cultivate his system at a mid-major level

As a result when Kearney approached Jameswith a base salary of $50000 per year withan additional radio-television pact valued at$12500 Lude realized he couldnrsquot compete withthose numbers since it was more than double the

Graphic by Nick Buzzelli via Piktochart

$25000 James was earning at Kent StateldquoI have never campaigned for other jobs

since I have been at Kent But I felt if anybodyoffered more money and security for my family Iwould think about itrdquo James told The Daily KentStater shortly after being hired by the Univer-sity of Washington in January 1975 ldquoIrsquom veryimpressed with the people and opportunitiesin Seattle The job is one of the top ones in thecountry and in one of the top major conferencesrdquo

Searching for his second head coach in fouryears Lude promoted defensive coordinatorDenny Fitzgerald who strung together a 4-7season in 1975

But James hadnrsquot forgotten his old boss back at Kent State and the initial opportunity he gavehim as a 36-year-old first-time head coach

Two years later when Kearney left to takeover the athletic department at Michigan StateUniversity Washington President John R Hog-ness and Dave Cohn ndash head of UWrsquos Tyee Board of athletic boosters ndash asked James if he could endorse anyone for the job

ldquoI want to recommend my old boss back atKent Staterdquo he told them Bowing down to lsquoThe Dawgfatherrsquo

Three years ago on a cloudy morning in late October a purple flag adorned with the initialsldquoDJrdquo in gold lettering was hoisted atop Seattlersquosiconic Space Needle freely flapping 605 feetabove the city

Later that evening after the first 30 minutesof play in Washingtonrsquos Pac-12 contest against

California members of the Husky MarchingBand ndash positioned at opposite sidelines ndash beganits halftime show by converging upon a pairof temporary ldquoDJrdquo logos embedded at each 25yard line and playing Earth Wind amp Firersquos 1975hit ldquoShining Starrdquo

Ordinarily halftime performances are usedas a time when fans visit the concession standrestroom or team store But even before publicaddress announcer Eric Radovich informed the crowd of 66328 of this performancersquos signifi-cance most remained fixed in their seats since it was their last opportunity to bow down to ldquoThe Dawgfatherrdquo

Two days after attending the season open-er James once again woke up feeling sick butadvised Carol not to call paramedics

However despite his objection she swiftlydialed 911 so she could find out exactly what waswrong with her husband of 61 years

After a full day of testing doctors noticed thatJames had a malignant tumor on his pancreasand he began receiving chemotherapy to combatthe issue shortly thereafter

But the treatment wasnrsquot effective and hiscondition progressively worsened with eachpassing week

Realizing that remaining time was limitedJames began planning his own funeral the sameway he approached his weekly game plan as acoach methodically calculating exactly whatneeded to be done

Four days before his death from pancreaticcancer at the age of 80 on Oct 20 2013 Jamesauditioned musicians inside his Kirkland Wash-ington home to play at his memorial serviceone which he didnrsquot anticipate would run lon-ger than an hour if each speaker was limited tothree minutes

But a three-minute eulogy wasnrsquot nearlyenough for Lude How could he touch upon43 years of friendship in only three minutes hethought

So he went over his designated timeframejust like nearly everyone else who took the stageinside Washingtonrsquos Alaska Airlines Arena onthat gloomy Sunday afternoon

Though he wasnrsquot in attendance Universityof Alabamarsquos Nick Saban recorded a video trib-ute to the man who gave him his first coachingexperience as a student assistant in 1972

Former Missouri head coach Gary Pinkelwho was a tight end for James at Kent State and later served on his staff at UW gave a speechremembering the impact he had on his career

ldquoHe was the most organized and disciplined and attention to detail coach that Irsquove ever been aroundrdquo said Skip Hall who worked underJames for 18 years at three different schools ldquoHewas my mentor without question for all thoseyearsrdquo

Following the 1991 season Lude left UW tobecome the athletic director at Auburn Univer-sity a position he held for two years before ulti-mately retiring

James then coached two more years beforestepping down prior to the 1993 season in protestof a scholarship reduction and two-year bowlban that the Pac-10 was enforcing since formerplayers were found to have received paymentsfrom boosters

But despite going their separate ways Ludeand James always remained close both person-ally and professionally

What started with a simple phone call inquir-ing about Kent Statersquos head coaching positionended with a Rose Bowl victory over Michiganthat gave UW a share of the 1991 national cham-pionship

They had helped Kent State rebrand itselfin the wake of tragedy And they were respon-sible for the most successful run in the history ofWashington athletics

But most importantly they had seen theirworking relationship blossom into a lifelongbond

ldquoDon James and I worked together almost20 years and never had a fightrdquo Lude now 94fondly recalled ldquoWe had the best relationshiprdquo

Henry Palattella Sports Reporter

When 2016 began Cleveland had beenwithout a championship for 52 straight yearsFast forward to October and the Cleveland Indians are four wins away from giving thecity a second championship in four months

The Indians punched their ticket to the 112Fall Classic Wednesday night when Carlos San-tana caught Troy Tulowitzkirsquos pop-fly to end thegame giving the Indians a 3-0 win and a 4-1series victory Santana fell to the ground withhis arms above his head while a dogpile formedbehind him on the mound an image that willstick in every Cleveland fanrsquos mind for the rest of their life

The win washed away 19 years of frustra-tion for Indians fans The team last played inthe World Series in 1997 when they lost to theFlorida Marlins in seven games The Indianswere last in the American League Champion-ship Series in 2007 a series in which they Indi-ans also lost in seven games

The Indians almost beat the Red Sox in that ALCS but then-third base coach Joel Skinner decided to hold Indians outfielder Kenny Lof-ton at third in the seventh inning Lofton ndash whowas the winning run ndash never scored and theBoston Red Sox eventually came back to win

All that is a distant memory now replacedby happier images of Indians players danc-ing around in the Blue Jays clubhouse cladin postseason shirts that are soaked with cel-ebratory champagne

The Indians relied on key hits and a strong bull-pen to gather their postseason victories a templatethat was made famous by the Kansas City Royals

on their path to the world series last seasonThis template worked for the Tribe as they

swept the Red Sox in the American LeagueDivision Series and needed only five games totake out the Blue Jays in the ACLS

The Indians came into the postseason with adepleted pitching staff as rotational mainstays Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar both suf-fered injuries in the regular season that havekept them out of the postseason thus far

These injuries forced the Indians to use RyanMerritt as their starter in game five against the Blue Jays Merritt ndash who came into that matchupwith 11 career innings under his belt ndash respond-ed by throwing four 23 shutout innings

These injuries could have spelled deathfor some teams but they proved to be mereinconveniences for the Indians as they used anunconventional three-man rotation for most of the postseason

The Indians starting pitching threw 38 23innings through those games while the Indi-ans bullpen almost equaled them as they tal-lied 33 13 innings 11 23 of those inningswere thrown by Indians stud reliever AndrewMiller Miller ndash who won the ALCS MVP ndash struck out 20 batters in those innings whileallowing only four hits

The Indians will face the winner of NLCS featuring the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chi-cago Cubs in the world series and no matterwho they face theyrsquoll be in for a challenge The Dodgers currently hold a 2-1 series lead

The Cubs compiled a 103-58 record whichwas the best record in baseball

First pitch of the world series will be inCleveland on Tuesday Oct 25 at 7 pm

Local government works to prevent heroin-related

According to the CDC fen-tanyl is a synthetic opioid painreliever approved for treatingsevere pain

Fentanyl is 50 to 100 timesmore potent than morphine andis sold in the illegal drug marketto increase the euphoric effectsof heroin

ldquoItrsquos an epidemic people aredealing with nationwide andnobody has a good answer yetrdquoPortage County Sheriff DavidDoak said ldquoEveryone is tryingto figure out what to do about itand itrsquos going to be years before wersquore able to overcome itrdquo

In the future Clyde said stateofficials are considering legisla-tion to increase the penalties fortrafficking heroin The currentdrug trafficking penalty resultsin a prison sentence that varies inlength depending on the felonydegree and amount of heroin inpossession First-degree traffickingfelony results in three to 11 yearsin prison according to ColumbusCriminal Defense Attorney AdamG Burkersquos website

ldquoWe need to continue pass-ing common sense laws andwork with our counterparts onthe local level to deal with the crisisrdquo Clyde said ldquoIrsquom goingto continue to monitor the situ-ation on the state level and talk-ing with local officialsrdquo

One of Clydersquos main initiativescontinues to be focusing on edu-cating citizens about the dangersof heroin use She emphasized theimportance of smaller local gov-ernment including counties andcities to support education andprevention organizations

ldquoEducation is importantrdquoClyde said ldquoI know that thelocal level has taken some fund-ing cuts from the state and fed-eral levels and it is hard to domore with less

Clyde said finding new waysto make sure citizens are edu-cated and talking to school-agedkids about the dangers of heroinand other drug use

ldquoWe need to be providingsupport to families that arebeing affected by this crisisrdquoshe said

Mike Kerrigan a candidaterunning for Portage County com-missioner said local governmentofficials unfortunately can dovery little about this issue

Legislation cannot be passedat the county level because of thelimits placed on county govern-ments However Portage Coun-ty commissioners support theefforts of organizations such asthe Mental Health and RecoveryBoard which provides assistanceto drug-related treatment facili-ties including Townhall II andColeman Professional Services

The board helps fund a vari-ety of drug rehabilitation servicesincluding detox

ldquoThe number one goal hereis keeping people aliverdquo JoelMowery executive director ofthe Mental Health and Recov-ery Board said ldquoThe numberof people that have died fromoverdoses has continued to rise every yearrdquo

The county is also in themidst of establishing a drugcourt which would serve as analternative to jail or prison timefor people charged with low-level felonies

ldquoTheyrsquore really looking at theentire spectrumrdquo Kerrigan said in support of the initiative ldquoYouhave to start with the problem and how do we get them inthe right place that they need to gordquo

Portage County Court ofCommon Pleas Judge BeckyDoherty submitted the propos-al to add a drug court docket to the system in March She hasbeen working on implementing a drug court since taking thebench a year and a half ago

Though the resources thedrug court will offer has alreadybeen put into place Dohertysaid becoming a certified drugcourt will allow the county toapply for a grant and otheradditional funding which willallow the court to hire more probation officers CurrentlyDoherty said the probation offi-cers are ldquostretched thinrdquo tryingto monitor all the defendants

ldquoWersquore already doing itrdquoDoherty said ldquoWe just donrsquothave the certification yet Myprobation department is verydiligent in trying to combat thisproblem The heroin addicts andthe ones that are at risk are cer-tainly on our radar all the timerdquo

Doherty said the drug courttitled Portage County Hope Pro-gram uses a variety of resourcesto help defendants overcometheir addiction including accessto Vivitrol a shot designed toblock the cravings for heroinbut the most important aspect toa successful recovery is the will-ingness of the defendant to wantto overcome their addiction and participate in the program

ldquoFamilies who have drugaddicts in their lives think that drug courts are the answerrdquoDoherty said ldquoIt can only bethe answer for folks that want to participate The success orlack of it depends primarily onthe defendant I can offer all of the resources I can put all of itout there but they have to want to do itrdquo

Cleveland-Chicago World Series would be a match

made in heaven

Israel Galarza III Columnist

The Chicago Cubs havenrsquot won the World Series in 107 seasons and the Cleveland Indians havenrsquot won the World Series since 1948 (to give that some context that was the same year that President Harry Truman was elected into office)

Itrsquos a safe assumption to say that these loyal fan bases are dying for their respective championship droughts to come to a fulfilling end A Cleveland-Chicago series is a matchup made in baseball heaven and we may be less than two weeks away from seeing one of those historic streaks broken

However the Los Angeles Dodgers might have something to say about that Back-to-back domi-nating performances by starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill have put the Dodgers in the driverrsquos seat of the National League Champi-onship Series Heading into Game 4 the Cubs find themselves reeling on their heels

With the exception of the 8-4 onslaught in Game 1 the Dodgers have been able to silence the power-ful Cubs lineup that helped yield 103 wins during the regular season Big names like Anthony Rizzo Kris Bryant and Jason Heyward have been shut down by the top of the Dodgers pitching rotation

In order for the fans to witness the historic Chi-cago-Cleveland matchup the Cubs need to tighten their boot straps and play like the team that lead

Addiction doesnrsquot exclude Skye McEowen Print Managing Editor

Sitting in my room I hear a door down-stairs shut For some reason I feel my heart-beat quicken and a faint dropping sensation in my stomach Dread sets in just over a roommate leaving for class

Itrsquos always one of the first things I bring up about my anxiety Something about the sound of doors shutting and especially if they slam Hearing voices in the distance or watching an argument also did the trick

Growing up I heard the front door slam more than once whenever my brother picked a fight with my parents To cope I sat uncomfortably in my room watching car-toons on high volume

It started with the arguments see-ing my brother show up at home unan-nounced after maybe a day or two Hestarted hanging out with the ldquobad crowdrdquoin school and drugs followed

His addiction took a few years for me to notice something was wrong For a while it was hard to believe my brother had started doing drugs There was no way I thought We all had great childhoods loving parents a good home mdash drug addiction didnrsquot make sense to me at the time

By late middle school my brother was going in and out of rehabs but to no availmdashgive or take a couple months of sobriety

Though he was mostly out of the house whether he left on his own or was kicked out his addiction found its height in heroin

By my later high school years my brother was out in California mdash homeless and still battling his addiction My parents were left with no choice but to kick him out which I still know has to be a heartbreaking decision to make about onersquos child

One night I woke up in a panic and rushed to my computer to look up the Los Angeles Times obituaries in case I saw my brotherrsquos name

Eventually he was arrested for robbery andwent to prison After getting out the first timehe was arrested again for breaking parole

Back to prisonThe more we grew up and understood

heroin addiction the more my other brother and I grew closer as siblings realizing the oldest of the three of us was in trouble

When I was a freshman in college my brotherrsquos addiction had existed for about eight years I received a call from my mom one night preceding a text saying my broth-er was out of prison Shortly after I found myself on a plane to LAX as a ball of nerves I hadnrsquot seen him in maybe four years at that point and I hadnrsquot spoken to him for at most a couple years at a time

The person I saw with my mom at bag-gage claim was far different from the person Irsquod seen in Ohio in high school He had color to his skin was no longer skinny and gaunt and actually looked happy

I wish I could say the column ends there but addictions arenrsquot as fair as we want them to be After nearly a year of sobriety he relapsed On a steady downward spiral from there he was out of the house again

Itrsquos nearly 10 years now since my broth-errsquos addiction started Irsquove come to peace with the fact that unfortunately heroin can touch any life I learned that no matter how well yoursquore raised mdashor how careful you are mdash no one is exempt from addiction

Flashes should consider a Hazell return

Ty Sugick Columnist

Purdue University football decided to let former Kent State head coach Darrell Hazell go

over the weekend after their loss to the Univer-sity of Iowa Hazell posted a 9-33 record with

the Boilermakers in a little over three seasons

of work Although Hazellrsquos time in Purdue was noth-

ing short of a disappointment his two seasons at Kent State were much different Hazell went 16-10 as the Flashesrsquo head coach

In Hazellrsquos second season with the Flash-es he managed to take the team to the MAC

Championships and land the team in the Top

25 Behind Hazellrsquos coaching and the legs of Dri Archer the Flashes success nearly land-ed them a Bowl Championship Series game

appearance in 2012 After heading that 11-3 season Hazell

quickly jumped at the opportunity to take on a

bigger program Coaching a Big 10 team mdash and

the payday associated with the job mdash made

leaving a fairly reasonable choice Since Hazell left neither he nor Kent State

have found success The idea of Hazell returning to the univer-

sity fascinating current coach Paul Haynes

is a defensive mastermind with a knack for

recruiting so adding Hazell to the staff would

be a bonus The Flashes have lacked that flare on

offense since Hazell took his talents to the Big 10 but the offensive threats the Flashes cur-rently have resemble the characteristics of the

high-powered offense Hazell took to the MAC Championship a few years back

Fifth-year senior wide receiver Ernest

Calhoun has every bit of flash that Archer once carried for the blue and gold Freshman

tailback Justin Rankin looks to be a bud-ding star Add in impressive redshirt fresh-men quarterback Mylik Mitchell (once he is

healthy and able to play) and the Flashes could provide a dynamic offense again with

the right signal caller Hazell could be that guy mdash he has ties to

Kent State and comes from a solid coaching

pedigree having spent time under The Ohio

State Universityrsquos Jim Tressel After tanking as a head coach Kent State

has the opportunity to sell Hazell on being a

coordinator Combing the stingy defensive

approach that Haynes preaches with the up-tempo potent offense Hazell pushes could

make quite the duo at Kent State Recruiting Hazell back might be a chal-

lenge but a Hazell-Haynes pairing could bring

Kent State a winning football program

the major leagues in wins during 2016 On the other hand the Indians had little trouble

in the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays Game 4 was the only time in the series that the potent Jays lineup showed the same zest that brought them this far in the AL pennant

Excluding Game 4 2015 AL MVP Josh Donald-son and important Jays players like Edwin Encar-nacion and Jose Bautista were silenced by the sti-fling Indians pitching For the first three games of the series Cleveland successfully relied on the best bullpen in the majors lead by closer Andrew Miller to lock down the potent Jays lineup

Mariano Rivera-esque pitching strong outings from starters and clutch hitting from the bats of Francisco Lindor Mike Napoli and Jason Kipnis helped the Indians make quick work of Toronto

No matter who yoursquore rooting for this postsea-son itrsquos difficult to ignore the looming possibil-ity of an exciting Cubs-Indians World Series The heartbreak for both franchises throughout their histories will make that series mdash if it happens mdash a must-see

The closest the Indians have come to winning the World Series was in 1997 when they lost to the expansion Florida Marlins team in Game 7 of the World Series The closest the Cubs have come to winning the World Series was in 2003 when they lost to the Florida Marlins in the NLCS

Now each team may have the opportunity to play spoiler in baseballrsquos biggest stage

A Magrsquos Dorsquos and Donrsquots of thrifting A Magazine

Guest Columnist Secondhand shopping is a world of its

own that many of us have embraced with tight wallets and open minds Thrifting offers an (often overwhelming) world of possibilities to the frugal shopper (ahem us) Are you a ldquothriftaholicrdquo or does the idea of wearing used clothing make you cringe Fret not A Magazine offers our biggest tips and tricks to scoring the perfect lsquofit

Dorsquos Know the discounts Oftentimes thrift

stores have deals by color tags or even stu-dent discounts Call in advance or check with the clerk manager to see what offers are available Wersquoll never say no to saving a dol-lar mdash even when itrsquos already a dollar

Double triple and quadruple check There is nothing worse than finding a vintage design-er item taking it home to show off and realizingitrsquos damaged Sizing on these items may strayfrom what yoursquore used to Returns are prettymuch a no-go at all thrift and consignmentstores Try-ons are a must ndash make sure the itemyoursquore purchasing is in good condition unlessof course you plan on upcycling

Accessorize Leather belts at departmentstores are worth the cash mdash but we can total-ly see you rocking a vintage leather belt thatrsquos

just as nice and a whole lot more affordableAccessories at thrift stores shouldnrsquot be over-looked Right now wersquore scouring every rackpossible for vintage neck scarves and beadedhand purses Shopping discounts means youcan try out trends at a lower cost

Donrsquots Settle Itrsquos cheap yes but itrsquoll also take

up sacred space in your closet Just because it sort of fits it doesnrsquot mean yoursquoll never find something better Thrifting should be done often and with an open mind ndash donrsquot buy it just because itrsquos close enough or at a ridiculously affordable price Your treasure awaits Maybe just not today

Skim Give yourself at least an hour to look through everything Or if an hour of shopping makes you scoff make a day trip with a group of friends to analyze through multiple sets of eyes Itrsquos a process but worth it Thrift stores coordinate by color size and style Looking through the colors you wear most often will cut down on time perusing Standout fabrics and textures are easy to spot ndash we encourage experimenting with something new since thrifting is inex-pensive and this takes time

Remembering a Kent State legend Editorrsquos note This is the second of a two-part storywhich can all be found on KentWiredcom

Nick Buzzelli Sports Reporter

Don James was a football mastermindthe man who had every second of a practiceaccounted for from the length of water breaksto the precise duration of the weekly intrasquad scrimmages

His coaching philosophy was simple thoughmdash one that emphasized the importance of dili-gence and continually stressed the need fororganization within the program It was a mixof good old-fashioned hard work and soundfundamental instruction

ldquoWhat I remember specifically is how differ-ent the two coaches were Coach James was verydisciplined very organizedrdquo said Ted Bowersoxa quarterback who played for both Puddingtonand James after being recruited out of CantonMcKinley High School in 1968 ldquoHe had a verymethodical way about coachingrdquo

Entering Jamesrsquo first year at Kent State theNational Collegiate Athletic Association permit-ted programs to play an extra contest extend-ing the regular season to 11 games With anadditional week on the schedule Mike Lude ndashKent Statersquos athletic director ndash contacted Earle Edwards North Carolina State Universityrsquos headcoach with a simple proposal

North Carolina State an Atlantic Coast Con-ference program needed an easy guaranteedwin to pad its schedule for the rankings KentState on the other hand simply needed a largepayout from an established program to fund its athletic department

So naturally getting Edwards and North Car-olina Statersquos athletic director to agree to schedulea MAC team that hadnrsquot posted a winning recordin six years wasnrsquot too much of a challenge The real test however was how James was going to transform a program coming off a 3-7 season intoa conference contender

His head coaching debut against the Wolf-pack ended with a 23-21 win which promptedEdwards to tell Lude ldquoFriendship is fine butdonrsquot ever call me again for a favorrdquo

But Kent State lost its next five games by anaverage of 17 points

Jamesrsquo first season at Kent State wasnrsquot ideal but the flashes of resiliency ndash the NC State upsetan 11-point victory over Xavier University andshutting out Marshall University ndash were indica-tors of what could potentially happen with hisnucleus of talent

And the following season when the NCAAruled that freshmen were now eligible to playfor the varsity team everything seemed to come together

Now James and his young staff of coaches ndashmany of whom were only years removed frombeing graduate assistants ndash were able to playtheir freshmen immediately without a waitingperiod which meant that the team he fieldedwas a mix of both his players and those whowere recruited by Puddington

Though the 1972 season began with a tieagainst The University of Akron and a 34-pointloss to the University of Louisville Kent Statemanaged to win four of its five league conteststo clinch the conference title the first and onlyin school history which led to a berth in the Tan-gerine Bowl

ldquoCoach James coached from a tower and it was like he was watching all the time You didnrsquotwant to let him down therefore you put forthwhatever effort it wasrdquo said Handy Lampley aKent State running back from 1968-71 ldquoBut atthe same time he was a down-to-earth guyrdquo

The longer James was at Kent State the more wins the program accumulated In 1973 theGolden Flashes went 9-2 and narrowly missedout on another league title after a late season lossto Miami (Ohio) And the following year saw an upset win at Syracuse University and a 7-4 fin-ish

Lude realized he wouldnrsquot be able to keepJames much longer Mid-major schools were

constantly being used as stepping stones to getcoaches into power conference programs andKent State wasnrsquot any different

What he didnrsquot know however was when he would be receiving that phone call Settling in Seattle

Joe Kearney needed a new football coach andhe knew exactly who he wanted Having seenthe success that James put together at Kent StateKearney ndash the University of Washingtonrsquos ath-letic director from 1969-1976 ndash recognized thathe would be a perfect replacement to fill the voidthat was left after Jim Owens resigned in 1974

Every time Kearney saw Lude he would con-stantly joke that James would be the ideal candi-date to replace Owens But every time he asked Lude if he could interview James for the vacancyhe always responded with a simple ldquoabsolutely notrdquo

Setting the working relationship aside how-ever Lude saw this as a major advancement inJamesrsquo coaching career He could always hireanother coach but James wouldnrsquot always have the opportunity to guide a power program

Kent State had served its purpose for JamesIt gave him his first opportunity as a head coach and enabled him to cultivate his system at a mid-major level

As a result when Kearney approached Jameswith a base salary of $50000 per year withan additional radio-television pact valued at$12500 Lude realized he couldnrsquot compete withthose numbers since it was more than double the

$25000 James was earning at Kent StateldquoI have never campaigned for other jobs

since I have been at Kent But I felt if anybodyoffered more money and security for my family Iwould think about itrdquo James told The Daily KentStater shortly after being hired by the Univer-sity of Washington in January 1975 ldquoIrsquom veryimpressed with the people and opportunitiesin Seattle The job is one of the top ones in thecountry and in one of the top major conferencesrdquo

Searching for his second head coach in fouryears Lude promoted defensive coordinatorDenny Fitzgerald who strung together a 4-7season in 1975

But James hadnrsquot forgotten his old boss back at Kent State and the initial opportunity he gavehim as a 36-year-old first-time head coach

Two years later when Kearney left to takeover the athletic department at Michigan StateUniversity Washington President John R Hog-ness and Dave Cohn ndash head of UWrsquos Tyee Board of athletic boosters ndash asked James if he could endorse anyone for the job

ldquoI want to recommend my old boss back atKent Staterdquo he told them Bowing down to lsquoThe Dawgfatherrsquo

Three years ago on a cloudy morning in late October a purple flag adorned with the initialsldquoDJrdquo in gold lettering was hoisted atop Seattlersquosiconic Space Needle freely flapping 605 feetabove the city

Later that evening after the first 30 minutesof play in Washingtonrsquos Pac-12 contest against

California members of the Husky MarchingBand ndash positioned at opposite sidelines ndash beganits halftime show by converging upon a pairof temporary ldquoDJrdquo logos embedded at each 25yard line and playing Earth Wind amp Firersquos 1975hit ldquoShining Starrdquo

Ordinarily halftime performances are usedas a time when fans visit the concession standrestroom or team store But even before publicaddress announcer Eric Radovich informed the crowd of 66328 of this performancersquos signifi-cance most remained fixed in their seats since it was their last opportunity to bow down to ldquoThe Dawgfatherrdquo

Two days after attending the season open-er James once again woke up feeling sick butadvised Carol not to call paramedics

However despite his objection she swiftlydialed 911 so she could find out exactly what waswrong with her husband of 61 years

After a full day of testing doctors noticed thatJames had a malignant tumor on his pancreasand he began receiving chemotherapy to combatthe issue shortly thereafter

But the treatment wasnrsquot effective and hiscondition progressively worsened with eachpassing week

Realizing that remaining time was limitedJames began planning his own funeral the sameway he approached his weekly game plan as acoach methodically calculating exactly whatneeded to be done

Four days before his death from pancreaticcancer at the age of 80 on Oct 20 2013 Jamesauditioned musicians inside his Kirkland Wash-ington home to play at his memorial serviceone which he didnrsquot anticipate would run lon-ger than an hour if each speaker was limited tothree minutes

But a three-minute eulogy wasnrsquot nearlyenough for Lude How could he touch upon43 years of friendship in only three minutes hethought

So he went over his designated timeframejust like nearly everyone else who took the stageinside Washingtonrsquos Alaska Airlines Arena onthat gloomy Sunday afternoon

Though he wasnrsquot in attendance Universityof Alabamarsquos Nick Saban recorded a video trib-ute to the man who gave him his first coachingexperience as a student assistant in 1972

Former Missouri head coach Gary Pinkelwho was a tight end for James at Kent State and later served on his staff at UW gave a speechremembering the impact he had on his career

ldquoHe was the most organized and disciplined and attention to detail coach that Irsquove ever been aroundrdquo said Skip Hall who worked underJames for 18 years at three different schools ldquoHewas my mentor without question for all thoseyearsrdquo

Following the 1991 season Lude left UW tobecome the athletic director at Auburn Univer-sity a position he held for two years before ulti-mately retiring

James then coached two more years beforestepping down prior to the 1993 season in protestof a scholarship reduction and two-year bowlban that the Pac-10 was enforcing since formerplayers were found to have received paymentsfrom boosters

But despite going their separate ways Ludeand James always remained close both person-ally and professionally

What started with a simple phone call inquir-ing about Kent Statersquos head coaching positionended with a Rose Bowl victory over Michiganthat gave UW a share of the 1991 national cham-pionship

They had helped Kent State rebrand itselfin the wake of tragedy And they were respon-sible for the most successful run in the history ofWashington athletics

But most importantly they had seen theirworking relationship blossom into a lifelongbond

ldquoDon James and I worked together almost20 years and never had a fightrdquo Lude now 94fondly recalled ldquoWe had the best relationshiprdquo

Cleveland-Chicago World Series would be a match

made in heaven

Israel Galarza III Columnist

The Chicago Cubs havenrsquot won the World Series in 107 seasons and the Cleveland Indians havenrsquot won the World Series since 1948 (to give that some context that was the same year that President Harry Truman was elected into office)

Itrsquos a safe assumption to say that these loyal fan bases are dying for their respective championship droughts to come to a fulfilling end A Cleveland-Chicago series is a matchup made in baseball heaven and we may be less than two weeks away from seeing one of those historic streaks broken

However the Los Angeles Dodgers might have something to say about that Back-to-back domi-nating performances by starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill have put the Dodgers in the driverrsquos seat of the National League Champi-onship Series Heading into Game 4 the Cubs find themselves reeling on their heels

With the exception of the 8-4 onslaught in Game 1 the Dodgers have been able to silence the power-ful Cubs lineup that helped yield 103 wins during the regular season Big names like Anthony Rizzo Kris Bryant and Jason Heyward have been shut down by the top of the Dodgers pitching rotation

In order for the fans to witness the historic Chi-cago-Cleveland matchup the Cubs need to tighten their boot straps and play like the team that lead

Addiction doesnrsquot exclude Skye McEowen Print Managing Editor

Sitting in my room I hear a door down-stairs shut For some reason I feel my heart-beat quicken and a faint dropping sensation in my stomach Dread sets in just over a roommate leaving for class

Itrsquos always one of the first things I bring up about my anxiety Something about the sound of doors shutting and especially if they slam Hearing voices in the distance or watching an argument also did the trick

Growing up I heard the front door slam more than once whenever my brother picked a fight with my parents To cope I sat uncomfortably in my room watching car-toons on high volume

It started with the arguments see-ing my brother show up at home unan-nounced after maybe a day or two Hestarted hanging out with the ldquobad crowdrdquoin school and drugs followed

His addiction took a few years for me to notice something was wrong For a while it was hard to believe my brother had started doing drugs There was no way I thought We all had great childhoods loving parents a good home mdash drug addiction didnrsquot make sense to me at the time

By late middle school my brother was going in and out of rehabs but to no availmdashgive or take a couple months of sobriety

Though he was mostly out of the house whether he left on his own or was kicked out his addiction found its height in heroin

By my later high school years my brother was out in California mdash homeless and still battling his addiction My parents were left with no choice but to kick him out which I still know has to be a heartbreaking decision to make about onersquos child

One night I woke up in a panic and rushed to my computer to look up the Los Angeles Times obituaries in case I saw my brotherrsquos name

Eventually he was arrested for robbery andwent to prison After getting out the first timehe was arrested again for breaking parole

Back to prisonThe more we grew up and understood

heroin addiction the more my other brother and I grew closer as siblings realizing the oldest of the three of us was in trouble

When I was a freshman in college my brotherrsquos addiction had existed for about eight years I received a call from my mom one night preceding a text saying my broth-er was out of prison Shortly after I found myself on a plane to LAX as a ball of nerves I hadnrsquot seen him in maybe four years at that point and I hadnrsquot spoken to him for at most a couple years at a time

The person I saw with my mom at bag-gage claim was far different from the person Irsquod seen in Ohio in high school He had color to his skin was no longer skinny and gaunt and actually looked happy

I wish I could say the column ends there but addictions arenrsquot as fair as we want them to be After nearly a year of sobriety he relapsed On a steady downward spiral from there he was out of the house again

Itrsquos nearly 10 years now since my broth-errsquos addiction started Irsquove come to peace with the fact that unfortunately heroin can touch any life I learned that no matter how well yoursquore raised mdashor how careful you are mdash no one is exempt from addiction

Flashes should consider a Hazell return

Ty Sugick Columnist

Purdue University football decided to let former Kent State head coach Darrell Hazell go

over the weekend after their loss to the Univer-sity of Iowa Hazell posted a 9-33 record with

the Boilermakers in a little over three seasons

of work Although Hazellrsquos time in Purdue was noth-

ing short of a disappointment his two seasons at Kent State were much different Hazell went 16-10 as the Flashesrsquo head coach

In Hazellrsquos second season with the Flash-es he managed to take the team to the MAC

Championships and land the team in the Top

25 Behind Hazellrsquos coaching and the legs of Dri Archer the Flashes success nearly land-ed them a Bowl Championship Series game

appearance in 2012 After heading that 11-3 season Hazell

quickly jumped at the opportunity to take on a

bigger program Coaching a Big 10 team mdash and

the payday associated with the job mdash made

leaving a fairly reasonable choice Since Hazell left neither he nor Kent State

have found success The idea of Hazell returning to the univer-

sity fascinating current coach Paul Haynes

is a defensive mastermind with a knack for

recruiting so adding Hazell to the staff would

be a bonus The Flashes have lacked that flare on

offense since Hazell took his talents to the Big 10 but the offensive threats the Flashes cur-rently have resemble the characteristics of the

high-powered offense Hazell took to the MAC Championship a few years back

Fifth-year senior wide receiver Ernest

Calhoun has every bit of flash that Archer once carried for the blue and gold Freshman

tailback Justin Rankin looks to be a bud-ding star Add in impressive redshirt fresh-men quarterback Mylik Mitchell (once he is

healthy and able to play) and the Flashes could provide a dynamic offense again with

the right signal caller Hazell could be that guy mdash he has ties to

Kent State and comes from a solid coaching

pedigree having spent time under The Ohio

State Universityrsquos Jim Tressel After tanking as a head coach Kent State

has the opportunity to sell Hazell on being a

coordinator Combing the stingy defensive

approach that Haynes preaches with the up-tempo potent offense Hazell pushes could

make quite the duo at Kent State Recruiting Hazell back might be a chal-

lenge but a Hazell-Haynes pairing could bring

Kent State a winning football program

the major leagues in wins during 2016 On the other hand the Indians had little trouble

in the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays Game 4 was the only time in the series that the potent Jays lineup showed the same zest that brought them this far in the AL pennant

Excluding Game 4 2015 AL MVP Josh Donald-son and important Jays players like Edwin Encar-nacion and Jose Bautista were silenced by the sti-fling Indians pitching For the first three games of the series Cleveland successfully relied on the best bullpen in the majors lead by closer Andrew Miller to lock down the potent Jays lineup

Mariano Rivera-esque pitching strong outings from starters and clutch hitting from the bats of Francisco Lindor Mike Napoli and Jason Kipnis helped the Indians make quick work of Toronto

No matter who yoursquore rooting for this postsea-son itrsquos difficult to ignore the looming possibil-ity of an exciting Cubs-Indians World Series The heartbreak for both franchises throughout their histories will make that series mdash if it happens mdash a must-see

The closest the Indians have come to winning the World Series was in 1997 when they lost to the expansion Florida Marlins team in Game 7 of the World Series The closest the Cubs have come to winning the World Series was in 2003 when they lost to the Florida Marlins in the NLCS

Now each team may have the opportunity to play spoiler in baseballrsquos biggest stage

A Magrsquos Dorsquos and Donrsquots of thrifting A Magazine

Guest Columnist Secondhand shopping is a world of its

own that many of us have embraced with tight wallets and open minds Thrifting offers an (often overwhelming) world of possibilities to the frugal shopper (ahem us) Are you a ldquothriftaholicrdquo or does the idea of wearing used clothing make you cringe Fret not A Magazine offers our biggest tips and tricks to scoring the perfect lsquofit

Dorsquos Know the discounts Oftentimes thrift

stores have deals by color tags or even stu-dent discounts Call in advance or check with the clerk manager to see what offers are available Wersquoll never say no to saving a dol-lar mdash even when itrsquos already a dollar

Double triple and quadruple check There is nothing worse than finding a vintage design-er item taking it home to show off and realizingitrsquos damaged Sizing on these items may strayfrom what yoursquore used to Returns are prettymuch a no-go at all thrift and consignmentstores Try-ons are a must ndash make sure the itemyoursquore purchasing is in good condition unlessof course you plan on upcycling

Accessorize Leather belts at departmentstores are worth the cash mdash but we can total-ly see you rocking a vintage leather belt thatrsquos

just as nice and a whole lot more affordableAccessories at thrift stores shouldnrsquot be over-looked Right now wersquore scouring every rackpossible for vintage neck scarves and beadedhand purses Shopping discounts means youcan try out trends at a lower cost

Donrsquots Settle Itrsquos cheap yes but itrsquoll also take

up sacred space in your closet Just because it sort of fits it doesnrsquot mean yoursquoll never find something better Thrifting should be done often and with an open mind ndash donrsquot buy it just because itrsquos close enough or at a ridiculously affordable price Your treasure awaits Maybe just not today

Skim Give yourself at least an hour to look through everything Or if an hour of shopping makes you scoff make a day trip with a group of friends to analyze through multiple sets of eyes Itrsquos a process but worth it Thrift stores coordinate by color size and style Looking through the colors you wear most often will cut down on time perusing Standout fabrics and textures are easy to spot ndash we encourage experimenting with something new since thrifting is inex-pensive and this takes time

Sports SPORTS EDITOR STEPHEN MEANS SMEANS2KENTEDU

Remembering a Kent State legend Editorrsquos note This is the second of a two-part storywhich can all be found on KentWiredcom

Nick Buzzelli Sports Reporter

Don James was a football mastermindthe man who had every second of a practiceaccounted for from the length of water breaksto the precise duration of the weekly intrasquad scrimmages

His coaching philosophy was simple thoughmdash one that emphasized the importance of dili-gence and continually stressed the need fororganization within the program It was a mixof good old-fashioned hard work and soundfundamental instruction

ldquoWhat I remember specifically is how differ-ent the two coaches were Coach James was verydisciplined very organizedrdquo said Ted Bowersoxa quarterback who played for both Puddingtonand James after being recruited out of CantonMcKinley High School in 1968 ldquoHe had a verymethodical way about coachingrdquo

Entering Jamesrsquo first year at Kent State theNational Collegiate Athletic Association permit-ted programs to play an extra contest extend-ing the regular season to 11 games With anadditional week on the schedule Mike Lude ndashKent Statersquos athletic director ndash contacted Earle Edwards North Carolina State Universityrsquos headcoach with a simple proposal

North Carolina State an Atlantic Coast Con-ference program needed an easy guaranteedwin to pad its schedule for the rankings KentState on the other hand simply needed a largepayout from an established program to fund its athletic department

So naturally getting Edwards and North Car-olina Statersquos athletic director to agree to schedulea MAC team that hadnrsquot posted a winning recordin six years wasnrsquot too much of a challenge The real test however was how James was going to transform a program coming off a 3-7 season intoa conference contender

His head coaching debut against the Wolf-pack ended with a 23-21 win which promptedEdwards to tell Lude ldquoFriendship is fine butdonrsquot ever call me again for a favorrdquo

But Kent State lost its next five games by anaverage of 17 points

Jamesrsquo first season at Kent State wasnrsquot ideal but the flashes of resiliency ndash the NC State upsetan 11-point victory over Xavier University andshutting out Marshall University ndash were indica-tors of what could potentially happen with hisnucleus of talent

And the following season when the NCAAruled that freshmen were now eligible to playfor the varsity team everything seemed to come together

Now James and his young staff of coaches ndashmany of whom were only years removed frombeing graduate assistants ndash were able to playtheir freshmen immediately without a waitingperiod which meant that the team he fieldedwas a mix of both his players and those whowere recruited by Puddington

Though the 1972 season began with a tieagainst The University of Akron and a 34-pointloss to the University of Louisville Kent Statemanaged to win four of its five league conteststo clinch the conference title the first and onlyin school history which led to a berth in the Tan-gerine Bowl

ldquoCoach James coached from a tower and it was like he was watching all the time You didnrsquotwant to let him down therefore you put forthwhatever effort it wasrdquo said Handy Lampley aKent State running back from 1968-71 ldquoBut atthe same time he was a down-to-earth guyrdquo

The longer James was at Kent State the more wins the program accumulated In 1973 theGolden Flashes went 9-2 and narrowly missedout on another league title after a late season lossto Miami (Ohio) And the following year saw an upset win at Syracuse University and a 7-4 fin-ish

Lude realized he wouldnrsquot be able to keepJames much longer Mid-major schools were

constantly being used as stepping stones to getcoaches into power conference programs andKent State wasnrsquot any different

What he didnrsquot know however was when he would be receiving that phone call Settling in Seattle

Joe Kearney needed a new football coach andhe knew exactly who he wanted Having seenthe success that James put together at Kent StateKearney ndash the University of Washingtonrsquos ath-letic director from 1969-1976 ndash recognized thathe would be a perfect replacement to fill the voidthat was left after Jim Owens resigned in 1974

Every time Kearney saw Lude he would con-stantly joke that James would be the ideal candi-date to replace Owens But every time he asked Lude if he could interview James for the vacancyhe always responded with a simple ldquoabsolutely notrdquo

Setting the working relationship aside how-ever Lude saw this as a major advancement inJamesrsquo coaching career He could always hireanother coach but James wouldnrsquot always have the opportunity to guide a power program

Kent State had served its purpose for JamesIt gave him his first opportunity as a head coach and enabled him to cultivate his system at a mid-major level

As a result when Kearney approached Jameswith a base salary of $50000 per year withan additional radio-television pact valued at$12500 Lude realized he couldnrsquot compete withthose numbers since it was more than double the

Graphic by Nick Buzzelli via Piktochart

$25000 James was earning at Kent StateldquoI have never campaigned for other jobs

since I have been at Kent But I felt if anybodyoffered more money and security for my family Iwould think about itrdquo James told The Daily KentStater shortly after being hired by the Univer-sity of Washington in January 1975 ldquoIrsquom veryimpressed with the people and opportunitiesin Seattle The job is one of the top ones in thecountry and in one of the top major conferencesrdquo

Searching for his second head coach in fouryears Lude promoted defensive coordinatorDenny Fitzgerald who strung together a 4-7season in 1975

But James hadnrsquot forgotten his old boss back at Kent State and the initial opportunity he gavehim as a 36-year-old first-time head coach

Two years later when Kearney left to takeover the athletic department at Michigan StateUniversity Washington President John R Hog-ness and Dave Cohn ndash head of UWrsquos Tyee Board of athletic boosters ndash asked James if he could endorse anyone for the job

ldquoI want to recommend my old boss back atKent Staterdquo he told them Bowing down to lsquoThe Dawgfatherrsquo

Three years ago on a cloudy morning in late October a purple flag adorned with the initialsldquoDJrdquo in gold lettering was hoisted atop Seattlersquosiconic Space Needle freely flapping 605 feetabove the city

Later that evening after the first 30 minutesof play in Washingtonrsquos Pac-12 contest against

California members of the Husky MarchingBand ndash positioned at opposite sidelines ndash beganits halftime show by converging upon a pairof temporary ldquoDJrdquo logos embedded at each 25yard line and playing Earth Wind amp Firersquos 1975hit ldquoShining Starrdquo

Ordinarily halftime performances are usedas a time when fans visit the concession standrestroom or team store But even before publicaddress announcer Eric Radovich informed the crowd of 66328 of this performancersquos signifi-cance most remained fixed in their seats since it was their last opportunity to bow down to ldquoThe Dawgfatherrdquo

Two days after attending the season open-er James once again woke up feeling sick butadvised Carol not to call paramedics

However despite his objection she swiftlydialed 911 so she could find out exactly what waswrong with her husband of 61 years

After a full day of testing doctors noticed thatJames had a malignant tumor on his pancreasand he began receiving chemotherapy to combatthe issue shortly thereafter

But the treatment wasnrsquot effective and hiscondition progressively worsened with eachpassing week

Realizing that remaining time was limitedJames began planning his own funeral the sameway he approached his weekly game plan as acoach methodically calculating exactly whatneeded to be done

Four days before his death from pancreaticcancer at the age of 80 on Oct 20 2013 Jamesauditioned musicians inside his Kirkland Wash-ington home to play at his memorial serviceone which he didnrsquot anticipate would run lon-ger than an hour if each speaker was limited tothree minutes

But a three-minute eulogy wasnrsquot nearlyenough for Lude How could he touch upon43 years of friendship in only three minutes hethought

So he went over his designated timeframejust like nearly everyone else who took the stageinside Washingtonrsquos Alaska Airlines Arena onthat gloomy Sunday afternoon

Though he wasnrsquot in attendance Universityof Alabamarsquos Nick Saban recorded a video trib-ute to the man who gave him his first coachingexperience as a student assistant in 1972

Former Missouri head coach Gary Pinkelwho was a tight end for James at Kent State and later served on his staff at UW gave a speechremembering the impact he had on his career

ldquoHe was the most organized and disciplined and attention to detail coach that Irsquove ever been aroundrdquo said Skip Hall who worked underJames for 18 years at three different schools ldquoHewas my mentor without question for all thoseyearsrdquo

Following the 1991 season Lude left UW tobecome the athletic director at Auburn Univer-sity a position he held for two years before ulti-mately retiring

James then coached two more years beforestepping down prior to the 1993 season in protestof a scholarship reduction and two-year bowlban that the Pac-10 was enforcing since formerplayers were found to have received paymentsfrom boosters

But despite going their separate ways Ludeand James always remained close both person-ally and professionally

What started with a simple phone call inquir-ing about Kent Statersquos head coaching positionended with a Rose Bowl victory over Michiganthat gave UW a share of the 1991 national cham-pionship

They had helped Kent State rebrand itselfin the wake of tragedy And they were respon-sible for the most successful run in the history ofWashington athletics

But most importantly they had seen theirworking relationship blossom into a lifelongbond

ldquoDon James and I worked together almost20 years and never had a fightrdquo Lude now 94fondly recalled ldquoWe had the best relationshiprdquo

Cleveland-Chicago World Series would be a match

made in heaven

Israel Galarza III Columnist

The Chicago Cubs havenrsquot won the World Series in 107 seasons and the Cleveland Indians havenrsquot won the World Series since 1948 (to give that some context that was the same year that President Harry Truman was elected into office)

Itrsquos a safe assumption to say that these loyal fan bases are dying for their respective championship droughts to come to a fulfilling end A Cleveland-Chicago series is a matchup made in baseball heaven and we may be less than two weeks away from seeing one of those historic streaks broken

However the Los Angeles Dodgers might have something to say about that Back-to-back domi-nating performances by starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill have put the Dodgers in the driverrsquos seat of the National League Champi-onship Series Heading into Game 4 the Cubs find themselves reeling on their heels

With the exception of the 8-4 onslaught in Game 1 the Dodgers have been able to silence the power-ful Cubs lineup that helped yield 103 wins during the regular season Big names like Anthony Rizzo Kris Bryant and Jason Heyward have been shut down by the top of the Dodgers pitching rotation

In order for the fans to witness the historic Chi-cago-Cleveland matchup the Cubs need to tighten their boot straps and play like the team that lead

Addiction doesnrsquot exclude Skye McEowen Print Managing Editor

Sitting in my room I hear a door down-stairs shut For some reason I feel my heart-beat quicken and a faint dropping sensation in my stomach Dread sets in just over a roommate leaving for class

Itrsquos always one of the first things I bring up about my anxiety Something about the sound of doors shutting and especially if they slam Hearing voices in the distance or watching an argument also did the trick

Growing up I heard the front door slam more than once whenever my brother picked a fight with my parents To cope I sat uncomfortably in my room watching car-toons on high volume

It started with the arguments see-ing my brother show up at home unan-nounced after maybe a day or two Hestarted hanging out with the ldquobad crowdrdquoin school and drugs followed

His addiction took a few years for me to notice something was wrong For a while it was hard to believe my brother had started doing drugs There was no way I thought We all had great childhoods loving parents a good home mdash drug addiction didnrsquot make sense to me at the time

By late middle school my brother was going in and out of rehabs but to no availmdashgive or take a couple months of sobriety

Though he was mostly out of the house whether he left on his own or was kicked out his addiction found its height in heroin

By my later high school years my brother was out in California mdash homeless and still battling his addiction My parents were left with no choice but to kick him out which I still know has to be a heartbreaking decision to make about onersquos child

One night I woke up in a panic and rushed to my computer to look up the Los Angeles Times obituaries in case I saw my brotherrsquos name

Eventually he was arrested for robbery andwent to prison After getting out the first timehe was arrested again for breaking parole

Back to prisonThe more we grew up and understood

heroin addiction the more my other brother and I grew closer as siblings realizing the oldest of the three of us was in trouble

When I was a freshman in college my brotherrsquos addiction had existed for about eight years I received a call from my mom one night preceding a text saying my broth-er was out of prison Shortly after I found myself on a plane to LAX as a ball of nerves I hadnrsquot seen him in maybe four years at that point and I hadnrsquot spoken to him for at most a couple years at a time

The person I saw with my mom at bag-gage claim was far different from the person Irsquod seen in Ohio in high school He had color to his skin was no longer skinny and gaunt and actually looked happy

I wish I could say the column ends there but addictions arenrsquot as fair as we want them to be After nearly a year of sobriety he relapsed On a steady downward spiral from there he was out of the house again

Itrsquos nearly 10 years now since my broth-errsquos addiction started Irsquove come to peace with the fact that unfortunately heroin can touch any life I learned that no matter how well yoursquore raised mdashor how careful you are mdash no one is exempt from addiction

Flashes should consider a Hazell return

Ty Sugick Columnist

Purdue University football decided to let former Kent State head coach Darrell Hazell go

over the weekend after their loss to the Univer-sity of Iowa Hazell posted a 9-33 record with

the Boilermakers in a little over three seasons

of work Although Hazellrsquos time in Purdue was noth-

ing short of a disappointment his two seasons at Kent State were much different Hazell went 16-10 as the Flashesrsquo head coach

In Hazellrsquos second season with the Flash-es he managed to take the team to the MAC

Championships and land the team in the Top

25 Behind Hazellrsquos coaching and the legs of Dri Archer the Flashes success nearly land-ed them a Bowl Championship Series game

appearance in 2012 After heading that 11-3 season Hazell

quickly jumped at the opportunity to take on a

bigger program Coaching a Big 10 team mdash and

the payday associated with the job mdash made

leaving a fairly reasonable choice Since Hazell left neither he nor Kent State

have found success The idea of Hazell returning to the univer-

sity fascinating current coach Paul Haynes

is a defensive mastermind with a knack for

recruiting so adding Hazell to the staff would

be a bonus The Flashes have lacked that flare on

offense since Hazell took his talents to the Big 10 but the offensive threats the Flashes cur-rently have resemble the characteristics of the

high-powered offense Hazell took to the MAC Championship a few years back

Fifth-year senior wide receiver Ernest

Calhoun has every bit of flash that Archer once carried for the blue and gold Freshman

tailback Justin Rankin looks to be a bud-ding star Add in impressive redshirt fresh-men quarterback Mylik Mitchell (once he is

healthy and able to play) and the Flashes could provide a dynamic offense again with

the right signal caller Hazell could be that guy mdash he has ties to

Kent State and comes from a solid coaching

pedigree having spent time under The Ohio

State Universityrsquos Jim Tressel After tanking as a head coach Kent State

has the opportunity to sell Hazell on being a

coordinator Combing the stingy defensive

approach that Haynes preaches with the up-tempo potent offense Hazell pushes could

make quite the duo at Kent State Recruiting Hazell back might be a chal-

lenge but a Hazell-Haynes pairing could bring

Kent State a winning football program

the major leagues in wins during 2016 On the other hand the Indians had little trouble

in the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays Game 4 was the only time in the series that the potent Jays lineup showed the same zest that brought them this far in the AL pennant

Excluding Game 4 2015 AL MVP Josh Donald-son and important Jays players like Edwin Encar-nacion and Jose Bautista were silenced by the sti-fling Indians pitching For the first three games of the series Cleveland successfully relied on the best bullpen in the majors lead by closer Andrew Miller to lock down the potent Jays lineup

Mariano Rivera-esque pitching strong outings from starters and clutch hitting from the bats of Francisco Lindor Mike Napoli and Jason Kipnis helped the Indians make quick work of Toronto

No matter who yoursquore rooting for this postsea-son itrsquos difficult to ignore the looming possibil-ity of an exciting Cubs-Indians World Series The heartbreak for both franchises throughout their histories will make that series mdash if it happens mdash a must-see

The closest the Indians have come to winning the World Series was in 1997 when they lost to the expansion Florida Marlins team in Game 7 of the World Series The closest the Cubs have come to winning the World Series was in 2003 when they lost to the Florida Marlins in the NLCS

Now each team may have the opportunity to play spoiler in baseballrsquos biggest stage

A Magrsquos Dorsquos and Donrsquots of thrifting A Magazine

Guest Columnist Secondhand shopping is a world of its

own that many of us have embraced with tight wallets and open minds Thrifting offers an (often overwhelming) world of possibilities to the frugal shopper (ahem us) Are you a ldquothriftaholicrdquo or does the idea of wearing used clothing make you cringe Fret not A Magazine offers our biggest tips and tricks to scoring the perfect lsquofit

Dorsquos Know the discounts Oftentimes thrift

stores have deals by color tags or even stu-dent discounts Call in advance or check with the clerk manager to see what offers are available Wersquoll never say no to saving a dol-lar mdash even when itrsquos already a dollar

Double triple and quadruple check There is nothing worse than finding a vintage design-er item taking it home to show off and realizingitrsquos damaged Sizing on these items may strayfrom what yoursquore used to Returns are prettymuch a no-go at all thrift and consignmentstores Try-ons are a must ndash make sure the itemyoursquore purchasing is in good condition unlessof course you plan on upcycling

Accessorize Leather belts at departmentstores are worth the cash mdash but we can total-ly see you rocking a vintage leather belt thatrsquos

just as nice and a whole lot more affordableAccessories at thrift stores shouldnrsquot be over-looked Right now wersquore scouring every rackpossible for vintage neck scarves and beadedhand purses Shopping discounts means youcan try out trends at a lower cost

Donrsquots Settle Itrsquos cheap yes but itrsquoll also take

up sacred space in your closet Just because it sort of fits it doesnrsquot mean yoursquoll never find something better Thrifting should be done often and with an open mind ndash donrsquot buy it just because itrsquos close enough or at a ridiculously affordable price Your treasure awaits Maybe just not today

Skim Give yourself at least an hour to look through everything Or if an hour of shopping makes you scoff make a day trip with a group of friends to analyze through multiple sets of eyes Itrsquos a process but worth it Thrift stores coordinate by color size and style Looking through the colors you wear most often will cut down on time perusing Standout fabrics and textures are easy to spot ndash we encourage experimenting with something new since thrifting is inex-pensive and this takes time

Sports SPORTS EDITOR STEPHEN MEANS SMEANS2KENTEDU

Remembering a Kent State legend Editorrsquos note This is the second of a two-part storywhich can all be found on KentWiredcom

Nick Buzzelli Sports Reporter

Don James was a football mastermindthe man who had every second of a practiceaccounted for from the length of water breaksto the precise duration of the weekly intrasquad scrimmages

His coaching philosophy was simple thoughmdash one that emphasized the importance of dili-gence and continually stressed the need fororganization within the program It was a mixof good old-fashioned hard work and soundfundamental instruction

ldquoWhat I remember specifically is how differ-ent the two coaches were Coach James was verydisciplined very organizedrdquo said Ted Bowersoxa quarterback who played for both Puddingtonand James after being recruited out of CantonMcKinley High School in 1968 ldquoHe had a verymethodical way about coachingrdquo

Entering Jamesrsquo first year at Kent State theNational Collegiate Athletic Association permit-ted programs to play an extra contest extend-ing the regular season to 11 games With anadditional week on the schedule Mike Lude ndashKent Statersquos athletic director ndash contacted Earle Edwards North Carolina State Universityrsquos headcoach with a simple proposal

North Carolina State an Atlantic Coast Con-ference program needed an easy guaranteedwin to pad its schedule for the rankings KentState on the other hand simply needed a largepayout from an established program to fund its athletic department

So naturally getting Edwards and North Car-olina Statersquos athletic director to agree to schedulea MAC team that hadnrsquot posted a winning recordin six years wasnrsquot too much of a challenge The real test however was how James was going to transform a program coming off a 3-7 season intoa conference contender

His head coaching debut against the Wolf-pack ended with a 23-21 win which promptedEdwards to tell Lude ldquoFriendship is fine butdonrsquot ever call me again for a favorrdquo

But Kent State lost its next five games by anaverage of 17 points

Jamesrsquo first season at Kent State wasnrsquot ideal but the flashes of resiliency ndash the NC State upsetan 11-point victory over Xavier University andshutting out Marshall University ndash were indica-tors of what could potentially happen with hisnucleus of talent

And the following season when the NCAAruled that freshmen were now eligible to playfor the varsity team everything seemed to come together

Now James and his young staff of coaches ndashmany of whom were only years removed frombeing graduate assistants ndash were able to playtheir freshmen immediately without a waitingperiod which meant that the team he fieldedwas a mix of both his players and those whowere recruited by Puddington

Though the 1972 season began with a tieagainst The University of Akron and a 34-pointloss to the University of Louisville Kent Statemanaged to win four of its five league conteststo clinch the conference title the first and onlyin school history which led to a berth in the Tan-gerine Bowl

ldquoCoach James coached from a tower and it was like he was watching all the time You didnrsquotwant to let him down therefore you put forthwhatever effort it wasrdquo said Handy Lampley aKent State running back from 1968-71 ldquoBut atthe same time he was a down-to-earth guyrdquo

The longer James was at Kent State the more wins the program accumulated In 1973 theGolden Flashes went 9-2 and narrowly missedout on another league title after a late season lossto Miami (Ohio) And the following year saw an upset win at Syracuse University and a 7-4 fin-ish

Lude realized he wouldnrsquot be able to keepJames much longer Mid-major schools were

constantly being used as stepping stones to getcoaches into power conference programs andKent State wasnrsquot any different

What he didnrsquot know however was when he would be receiving that phone call Settling in Seattle

Joe Kearney needed a new football coach andhe knew exactly who he wanted Having seenthe success that James put together at Kent StateKearney ndash the University of Washingtonrsquos ath-letic director from 1969-1976 ndash recognized thathe would be a perfect replacement to fill the voidthat was left after Jim Owens resigned in 1974

Every time Kearney saw Lude he would con-stantly joke that James would be the ideal candi-date to replace Owens But every time he asked Lude if he could interview James for the vacancyhe always responded with a simple ldquoabsolutely notrdquo

Setting the working relationship aside how-ever Lude saw this as a major advancement inJamesrsquo coaching career He could always hireanother coach but James wouldnrsquot always have the opportunity to guide a power program

Kent State had served its purpose for JamesIt gave him his first opportunity as a head coach and enabled him to cultivate his system at a mid-major level

As a result when Kearney approached Jameswith a base salary of $50000 per year withan additional radio-television pact valued at$12500 Lude realized he couldnrsquot compete withthose numbers since it was more than double the

Graphic by Nick Buzzelli via Piktochart

$25000 James was earning at Kent StateldquoI have never campaigned for other jobs

since I have been at Kent But I felt if anybodyoffered more money and security for my family Iwould think about itrdquo James told The Daily KentStater shortly after being hired by the Univer-sity of Washington in January 1975 ldquoIrsquom veryimpressed with the people and opportunitiesin Seattle The job is one of the top ones in thecountry and in one of the top major conferencesrdquo

Searching for his second head coach in fouryears Lude promoted defensive coordinatorDenny Fitzgerald who strung together a 4-7season in 1975

But James hadnrsquot forgotten his old boss back at Kent State and the initial opportunity he gavehim as a 36-year-old first-time head coach

Two years later when Kearney left to takeover the athletic department at Michigan StateUniversity Washington President John R Hog-ness and Dave Cohn ndash head of UWrsquos Tyee Board of athletic boosters ndash asked James if he could endorse anyone for the job

ldquoI want to recommend my old boss back atKent Staterdquo he told them Bowing down to lsquoThe Dawgfatherrsquo

Three years ago on a cloudy morning in late October a purple flag adorned with the initialsldquoDJrdquo in gold lettering was hoisted atop Seattlersquosiconic Space Needle freely flapping 605 feetabove the city

Later that evening after the first 30 minutesof play in Washingtonrsquos Pac-12 contest against

California members of the Husky MarchingBand ndash positioned at opposite sidelines ndash beganits halftime show by converging upon a pairof temporary ldquoDJrdquo logos embedded at each 25yard line and playing Earth Wind amp Firersquos 1975hit ldquoShining Starrdquo

Ordinarily halftime performances are usedas a time when fans visit the concession standrestroom or team store But even before publicaddress announcer Eric Radovich informed the crowd of 66328 of this performancersquos signifi-cance most remained fixed in their seats since it was their last opportunity to bow down to ldquoThe Dawgfatherrdquo

Two days after attending the season open-er James once again woke up feeling sick butadvised Carol not to call paramedics

However despite his objection she swiftlydialed 911 so she could find out exactly what waswrong with her husband of 61 years

After a full day of testing doctors noticed thatJames had a malignant tumor on his pancreasand he began receiving chemotherapy to combatthe issue shortly thereafter

But the treatment wasnrsquot effective and hiscondition progressively worsened with eachpassing week

Realizing that remaining time was limitedJames began planning his own funeral the sameway he approached his weekly game plan as acoach methodically calculating exactly whatneeded to be done

Four days before his death from pancreaticcancer at the age of 80 on Oct 20 2013 Jamesauditioned musicians inside his Kirkland Wash-ington home to play at his memorial serviceone which he didnrsquot anticipate would run lon-ger than an hour if each speaker was limited tothree minutes

But a three-minute eulogy wasnrsquot nearlyenough for Lude How could he touch upon43 years of friendship in only three minutes hethought

So he went over his designated timeframejust like nearly everyone else who took the stageinside Washingtonrsquos Alaska Airlines Arena onthat gloomy Sunday afternoon

Though he wasnrsquot in attendance Universityof Alabamarsquos Nick Saban recorded a video trib-ute to the man who gave him his first coachingexperience as a student assistant in 1972

Former Missouri head coach Gary Pinkelwho was a tight end for James at Kent State and later served on his staff at UW gave a speechremembering the impact he had on his career

ldquoHe was the most organized and disciplined and attention to detail coach that Irsquove ever been aroundrdquo said Skip Hall who worked underJames for 18 years at three different schools ldquoHewas my mentor without question for all thoseyearsrdquo

Following the 1991 season Lude left UW tobecome the athletic director at Auburn Univer-sity a position he held for two years before ulti-mately retiring

James then coached two more years beforestepping down prior to the 1993 season in protestof a scholarship reduction and two-year bowlban that the Pac-10 was enforcing since formerplayers were found to have received paymentsfrom boosters

But despite going their separate ways Ludeand James always remained close both person-ally and professionally

What started with a simple phone call inquir-ing about Kent Statersquos head coaching positionended with a Rose Bowl victory over Michiganthat gave UW a share of the 1991 national cham-pionship

They had helped Kent State rebrand itselfin the wake of tragedy And they were respon-sible for the most successful run in the history ofWashington athletics

But most importantly they had seen theirworking relationship blossom into a lifelongbond

ldquoDon James and I worked together almost20 years and never had a fightrdquo Lude now 94fondly recalled ldquoWe had the best relationshiprdquo

Remembering a Kent State legend Editorrsquos note This is the second of a two-part storywhich can all be found on KentWiredcom

Nick Buzzelli Sports Reporter

Don James was a football mastermindthe man who had every second of a practiceaccounted for from the length of water breaksto the precise duration of the weekly intrasquad scrimmages

His coaching philosophy was simple thoughmdash one that emphasized the importance of dili-gence and continually stressed the need fororganization within the program It was a mixof good old-fashioned hard work and soundfundamental instruction

ldquoWhat I remember specifically is how differ-ent the two coaches were Coach James was verydisciplined very organizedrdquo said Ted Bowersoxa quarterback who played for both Puddingtonand James after being recruited out of CantonMcKinley High School in 1968 ldquoHe had a verymethodical way about coachingrdquo

Entering Jamesrsquo first year at Kent State theNational Collegiate Athletic Association permit-ted programs to play an extra contest extend-ing the regular season to 11 games With anadditional week on the schedule Mike Lude ndashKent Statersquos athletic director ndash contacted Earle Edwards North Carolina State Universityrsquos headcoach with a simple proposal

North Carolina State an Atlantic Coast Con-ference program needed an easy guaranteedwin to pad its schedule for the rankings KentState on the other hand simply needed a largepayout from an established program to fund its athletic department

So naturally getting Edwards and North Car-olina Statersquos athletic director to agree to schedulea MAC team that hadnrsquot posted a winning recordin six years wasnrsquot too much of a challenge The real test however was how James was going to transform a program coming off a 3-7 season intoa conference contender

His head coaching debut against the Wolf-pack ended with a 23-21 win which promptedEdwards to tell Lude ldquoFriendship is fine butdonrsquot ever call me again for a favorrdquo

But Kent State lost its next five games by anaverage of 17 points

Jamesrsquo first season at Kent State wasnrsquot ideal but the flashes of resiliency ndash the NC State upsetan 11-point victory over Xavier University andshutting out Marshall University ndash were indica-tors of what could potentially happen with hisnucleus of talent

And the following season when the NCAAruled that freshmen were now eligible to playfor the varsity team everything seemed to come together

Now James and his young staff of coaches ndashmany of whom were only years removed frombeing graduate assistants ndash were able to playtheir freshmen immediately without a waitingperiod which meant that the team he fieldedwas a mix of both his players and those whowere recruited by Puddington
