Myranda Tetzlaff is a 25-year-old who has two pit bull mixes named Bub and Goose. She takes them on long walks for exercise. But she recently caught herself backing out of a hike because she was afraid of seeing other people on the trail.
“Oh, it s nice outside, we ve been in a pandemic, and everyone s been cooped up in their homes,” Tetzlaff said. “Oh, that means everyone s going to probably also be at the park. And so that just kind of terrifies me.”
Tetzlaff, a childcare worker, lives in a suburb of Indianapolis. There are still about 1,000 new COVID cases a day in Indiana, but Gov. Eric Holcomb recently lifted the statewide mask mandate and ended restrictions on businesses.

L’Meese Greaney’s oral summation of thesis on “look” wins EMU, regional honors
YPSILANTI – “Look here’s the deal. Every day, we make life changing decisions based on what we hear.”
“One person’s words can change the course of history.”
“One word, in this case ‘look,’ can shift your perspective imperceptibly.”
“Look. One word can change the way you see the world, and I hope I just did.”
L Meese Greaney
Such fresh thoughts come briskly and pack a crisp punch of clarity, part of L’Meese Greaney’s three-minute oral summation of her master’s thesis, an effort that finished in the top eight in the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools competition and was warmly received during an April 22 presentation in the Educational Policies Committee meeting of the Eastern Michigan University Board of Regents. The project was also showcased in this year’s Graduate Research Conference at EMU.
