Al Gore’s divorce lead to two faculty members discovering a trend of rising divorce rates of people around the age of 50 to 60 years old.

When associate profes-sor of sociology I-Fen Lin and Sociology Department Chair Susan Brown heard about the divorce, they were curious to see if others were doing the same thing around that age.

“They were married for a long time,” Brown said. “We wanted to see how common it is for older people to do this.”

She said a higher divorce rate could have serious implications.

“They could have implica-tions for health and wellbeing,” she said. “There are conse-quences of divorce later in life.”

THE RACE started at University Lawn and continued throughout the community.

By Natasha IveryReporter

On Oct. 25, participants from the University and the Bowling Green community ran in a 5K on the University’s campus to support free-dom for sex workers in Mumbai, India.

The race began promptly at 10 a.m. with the starting line and clock right in front of Overman Hall. There were over 230 confirmed runners in the event.

the spouse is the caregiver if one gets sick.”

Brown said the real question is who is going to take care of the divor-cees once they lose their spouse.

“If they don’t have any-one, the burden falls on society to help them,” she said.

Lin had another rea-son society should be concerned.

“Secondly, the financial well-being is important,” she said. “They no longer have resources to share, it’s usually split up. In your 30s, you can recover, go back to the labor mar-ket and find a job to work

and get security and pen-sion. But that is not the case for people in their 50s and 60s.”

Lin was also con-cerned about their emotional wellbeing.

“We also need to see health consequences for divorce, like being sick or depressed after it,” she said.

To help with the study, Brown and Lin have two graduate and two under-graduate students work-ing with them.

“It’s great for them to learn outside of the class-room, seeing how to do research,” Brown said. “They are very excited about the project, because not only are they learning about later life, but also learning survey data.”

THE FALCON Health Center now provides a program called ReadyCare that services locals during extend and weekend hours.ALYSSA N. BENES | THE BG NEWS

By Christopher McGowanReporter

The ReadyCare program at the Falcon Health Center allows students and com-munity members access to health care when it normally wouldn’t be available.

ReadyCare, a program offered by the Wood County Hospital, was started several years ago in order to provide members of the Bowling Green community with the kind of treatment that they’d receive at a doctor’s office when no doctor’s office would be open, such as in the evening or on weekends.

ReadyCare has spent most of its life on Main Street last May, the program moved to the newly constructed Falcon Health Center.

“It offers people a place to go when their doctor’s office would be closed,” said Catharine Harned, direc-tor of marketing and busi-ness development at Wood County Hospital. “We’ve kept the program going because there is a need for it in the community.”

The service is able to treat just about anything that a regular doctor’s office is able to treat.

“[ReadyCare] is designed for treatment of after-hours injuries that don’t require a visit to the emergency room,” Harned said. “That would be anything like chest conges-tion, colds, a sore throat, rashes or others.”

Treatment at ReadyCare is entirely first come, first served. There is no need to

make appointments and anyone can walk in and get help.

Kimberly Welsh, the administrative director of the Falcon Health Center, said the service typically has one to two providers, doctors or nurse practitioners and two to four clinical support staff on any given day.

ReadyCare also provides services which might other-wise have to be done at a hospital, such as lab draws or X-Rays, Welsh said.

The advantage of this pro-gram over going to the emer-gency room for these condi-tions is the cost, Harned said.

“If you go to an emergency room, more testing is done, all of which costs money,” she said.

With ReadyCare, the cost

is comparable to a doctor’s office visit, she said

“The Main St. location was just a storefront property. It didn’t have the capability of offering any expanded ser-vices such as a pharmacy. It was a natural transition to move to the Falcon Health Center since it was designed specifically for that pur-pose,” Harned said.

Since the transition, ReadyCare services have seen a 59 percent increase in usage, she said.

ReadyCare medical servic-es are available from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Falcon Health Center during the week and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the weekends. Lab services, x-rays and pharmacy servic-es are only available during the week.

ity, being independent and having the right to speak up in America.”

Nick Gillispie, the direc-tor of Cru, was also in attendance to show sup-port and solidarity at the race.

“We’ve been in part-nership with the Aruna Project for f ive years and this is the third year we’ve brought it to BGSU,” Gillispie said. “I’ve met the

women in Mumbai and we developed a personal rela-tionship with the project because we want to seek justice. I believe God is a just God and He wants to seek justice. The work is put in to enslave these women so we put work in toward freedom. It is costly, but it’s worth it to get them to freedom. It’s important we work toward freedom for these women, the freedom of having a choice to pursue dreams that are not tied to the will of another person.”

The BG women’s soccer two-game win streak came to an end this past weekend.

Friday the Falcons dropped their match 0-2 at Western Michigan and Sunday’s match against Northern Illinois ended in a 0-0 double overtime tie.

With the pair of losses, BG drops to 4-12-1 overall and 3-6-1 in Mid-American Conference play.

In the first match of the week-end, the Broncos controlled the match early as they got off 14 shots and five corner kicks in the first half. Goalkeeper Lauren Cadel made nine saves in the half.

Though Western Michigan con-trolled the offense for the first half, they were unable to find the back of the net as the game went into halftime scoreless for either team. However, the Broncos con-nected on two second-half goals in the 56th and 86th minutes.

The Falcons were unable to get their offense running throughout either half. BG put up just two total shots, both of which came in the first half, compared to Western Michigan’s 26 attempts on the day.

For the fifth straight game Cadel finished with double digit saves, tallying 12 against the Broncos.

“Western Michigan is simply a better team than us. With that being said, we absorbed a lot of pressure and defended with a lot of grit and discipline in the first half to head into halftime 0-0,” said head coach Lindsay Basalyga. “Lauren [Cadel] had yet another outstanding perfor-mance and kept us in the game longer than we should have been in the second half.”

The Falcons improved their offensive attack Sunday in their game against Northern Illinois. BG got off 13 total shots in its 110 minutes of play. The Huskies had 21 shots, 11 of which came in the

second period. Six of the Falcons’ 13 shots were on goal and eight of Western Michigan’s were on goal. The Broncos led the Falcons in corner kicks as well, tallying five to BG’s two.

Freshman Skylar Fleak led the Falcons with six shots, three of which were on goal. Senior Sidney Huth added three total shots for the Falcons, one of which was on

The BG men’s soccer team lost its second game in a row for the first time this season.

Now winless in its last four games, including three losses and one draw, the Falcons fall to 9-5-1 overall, 0-2-1 in the Mid-American Conference.

To open the scoring, BG ben-efitted from a West Virginia own goal just 21 minutes into the game.

Just 11 minutes later the Mountaineers answered back with a goal of their own on a cross-to-header combination.

Ending the first half scoring, the Falcons managed just one shot over the first 45 minutes.

To begin the second half, the Mountaineers fired a flurry of shots, but failed to get any of them on frame.

However, at minute 77, West Virginia knocked in its second header of the game off a free kick.

Falling behind 2-1, the Falcons were unable to get any shots off in the final 13 minutes.

“West Virginia is a good team,” said head coach Eric Nichols. “They are hard to play against, particularly in West Virginia, but this was a pretty good perfor-mance for us. We definitely had them on their heels at times.”

Despite playing a pretty good game, forcing pressure and allowing just two shots on frame, the Falcons were unable to make

The Falcon hockey team defeated Clarkson University on the road on Saturday night to win the weekend series.

BG scored four goals in the first period to earn a 5-4 victory over the Golden Knights.

Each goal on Saturday night was scored by a different Falcon, while freshman goal-tender Chris Nell made 27 saves in the win. Nell is now 2-0-0 on the season.

“We were opportunistic,” head coach Chris Bergeron said. “I don’t think it was a peppering of shots. We scored on the good chances we had.”

Kevin Dufour, Ben Murphy, Mitchell McLain and Tyler Spezia each recorded goals in the first period for BG. Spezia’s goal was his first collegiate goal.

Dufour leads the NCAA with eight goals scored. Dufour has recorded at least one goal in every game this season.

“It’s always a good feeling to get that first

goal of the game,” forward Dufour said. “I feel confident out there. I have great chem-istry out there with my teammates.”

Pierre-Luc Mercier scored an unassisted goal in the second period to give the Falcons a 5-1 advantage. Clarkson answered with three consecutive goals; however, BG pre-vailed to win the game.

“These are situations we have to learn from,” Bergeron said. “Ultimately, we ended

A few weeks ago, a story sur-faced about a woman by the name of Brittany Maynard who is choosing to “die with dignity” shortly after her hus-band’s birthday.

Maynard, 29, has stage four glioblastoma - a “malignant brain tumor” - and only has six months left to live.

After months of strenuous research, Maynard has chosen to end her life via physician-assisted suicide (also known as euthanasia), saying, “There is no treatment that would save my life and the recom-mended treatments would have destroyed the time I had left.”

On Nov. 1, Maynard is set to undergo the procedure in Oregon, where the practice is legal, in order to prevent inevi-table suffering.

Ever since this story has sur-faced, so too has the controver-sy over the idea that one has the right to “die with dignity,” along with the emergence of scathing judgement.

To “die with dignity” means that a dying individual has the right to physician-assisted suicide in order to prevent or cease further suffering, if they so wish.

Not everyone agrees that this is the case.

The most prominent argu-ment countering the idea is that physician-assisted sui-cide should not be legalized or performed on the grounds of religion.

The issue with this logic, however, is that the notion of whether or not to allow physi-cian-assisted suicide is a legality issue. Since there is a separation of church and state, other peo-ple’s opinions based on their religious ideals do not matter.

Not everyone holds the same beliefs and values and therefore saying that one person should not have the right to “die with

dignity” based on another’s reli-gious beliefs is invalid.

Another concern people have brought up in the wake of this controversy is that those who are depressed and/or suicidal may utilize physician-assisted suicide.

This would be a fair concern, except for the fact that, as men-tioned previously, to “die with dignity” means that a dying person can choose to undergo physician-assisted suicide if they wish to prevent or end their suf-fering due to their illness. This means that it wouldn’t be “easi-er” for those who are depressed and/or suicidal to stroll into a hospital and get the procedure.

What’s worse than the argu-ments attempting to deny the right of a dying individual to end their suffering is the harsh judge-ment of the people who make this decision.

Claims that people who choose to undergo physician-assisted suicide in order to end or prevent suffering are not “brave” or are taking the “easy way out” are not just unfair, but

also untrue.For one who does not want to

die, but has been put in a situa-tion in which they must choose to die on their own terms or to die slowly and painfully, the decision is no simple task. Choosing the date and place as well as breaking the news to friends and family, are all very draining matters.

Death is scary, regardless. It’s very easy for one to pass

judgment on a person when they’ve never been in their situ-ation. But what we need to rec-ognize is that, whether or not we personally would make a decision like Maynard’s, in the end it doesn’t really matter.

When it comes down to it, different people have different thoughts, beliefs and val-ues and if they’re not hurt-ing anyone, they should be allowed to make the deci-sions that best suit them.

Since Halloween’s coming, I’ve translated one of the scari-est stories I know: “A Little Fable” by Franz Kafka.

“It’s awful,” said the mouse. “The world is closing in on me more every day. At first it was so wide that I was scared. I kept on running and was happy to finally see walls in the distance, on the right and left.

But those long walls are zooming toward each other so quickly that now I’m in the last room and there in the corner is the trap I’m headed for.”

“You only have to change directions,” the cat said, and gobbled up the mouse.

We have some features of a fable: talking animals and a moral. But what kind of a

moral is that? The cat seems to have the

mouse’s interests at heart, but as soon as the cat’s mouth gives the advice, it swallows up the mouse.

In Aesop’s fables, we can tell what the main critter does wrong.

The fox can’t reach the grapes and decides they must be sour. The grasshop-per sings but unlike the ant he stores no food for the win-ter. The hare is overconfident and the tortoise wins.

But what is Kafka’s mouse doing wrong? He’s just escap-ing a troubling situation— the world is so vast— and running toward more secu-rity. He’s glad to see those walls, which promise to pro-vide certainty.

What’s wrong with that? But the walls lead him to

a dead end and a mousetrap and out of nowhere comes the cat, who pretends to save the mouse only to devour

him. Kafka shows how hard it is

to change directions. Gregor Samsa in “The

Metamorphosis” turns into an insect but insists on try-ing to act human. Josef K. in “The Trial” is outraged at being accused, but when he tries to resist the Law it sim-ply sucks him into its power. Both men meet fates similar to the mouse’s.

So what’s the moral of the story? With fables and para-bles, we can draw parallels to our own lives.

We claim to love personal freedom, but the wide world scares us, so we seek secu-rity. As security increases, personal freedom decreases.

We like walls to protect us, but they also close us in.

And before we know it, our pursuit of security has turned into a mousetrap, whether it is a course of study, a job, stu-dent debt or a mortgage. And there are lots of cats willing to

give us advice that fits in with their interests.

When people think of Kafka, they usually think of impersonal institutions. But the mouse’s own rush toward his little corner of the world is just as “Kafka-esque” as mousetraps and cats.

Kafka shows how high the stakes are: if we want security, we’d better be ready to give up freedom. If we want freedom, we’d better be prepared to give up security.

Maybe you can have some of both, but that will only happen if you pursue a col-lege education not only to secure a future, but also to learn what is really at stake in your life.

And sometimes stories can tell us more about that than self-help books.

up with one more goal than they did and we’ll take that. Obviously, we want to finish much stronger than we did tonight.”

The Falcons were outshot 34-23 in Saturday night’s game for the second time this season.

On Friday night, BG tied with Clarkson 2-2 as Dufour and McLain scored

for the Falcons. BG goal-tender Tommy Burke made 25 saves in the draw.

BG played in its first overtime game this sea-son in the 2-2 tie with Clarkson. The Falcons did not score on the power play for the first time all season, going 0-for-1 in the game. However, BG went 2-for-2 on the penalty kill.

“You better be on your toes entering a game like this with how physical of a team Clarkson is,” Bergeron said. “Every night

is a battle and tonight was another example of that.”

With Saturday’s win, BG improves its record to 4-1-1, with their only loss being on the road against No. 10 Miami University. The Falcons are now 4-0-0 when they score the first goal of the game.

BG will return home to the BG Ice Arena this Friday and Saturday night against No. 13 Minnesota State. The puck is sched-uled to drop at 7:07 p.m. on both nights.

BG swimming, diving get over 90 point advantage against Cardinals in 196.5 - 103.5 winFalcons win meet against Ball State

By Katie WernkeReporter

Bowling Green swimming and diving continued early-season success with a siz-able win against Ball State Friday night. The Falcons had more than 90 points on the Cardinals, taking the win 196.5-103.5.

The Falcons saw wins from sophomores Estela Davis, Victoria Griffin and Kristin Filby. Juniors Kayla Effinger and Jordan Bullock also grabbed wins to move the team ahead.

Davis took first place in the 200 medley relay, 100 backstroke and 400 indi-vidual medley. Freshman Natalie Criswell placed first in the 1000 freestyle, adding to the success of the newer swimmers.

With young talent per-forming well, head swim-ming coach Petra Martin said she is happy with the progress she has seen so far in the swimmers.

“I’m really happy with the way it’s going and how they are doing,” Martin said. “Last year was kind of tough for them. They had a lot of hurdles to jump through and it wasn’t easy for them to get adjusted to everything, but they are a little bit more mature now.”

Continuing her domina-tion in the freestyle races from last year, Griffin fin-ished first in the 50 and 200 freestyle races.

Bowling Green snagged the first seven out of eight events, putting them ahead of the Cardinals 104-27 going into diving.

Ball State carried the podi-um in the 1- and 3-meter dives, but head diving coach Alex Gauvin said he was pleased seeing his divers take on real competition.

“I liked that we went in there and they showed me exactly the things that we’ve been working on in practice,” Gauvin said, “which is all the mechanics and basics that

are needed to build a strong diving foundation that we are going to be using in the next couple of years. I liked that they went in there and they learned.”

In upcoming meets, Gauvin wants to work on more difficult dives in hopes of increasing scores.

“We’re going to start add-ing flips to the dives,” Gauvin said. “We’re going to increase the degree of difficulty. We’re going to start working on some more complex skills. We’re constantly working on those mechanics and those basics but we’re going to start adding to them now.”

Opening up swimming after the 1-meter, Kayla Effinger grabbed first in

the 100 freestyle, while Maya Skorupski carried the winning over into the 200 backstroke.

Bowling Green won five out the last eight events, with first through third place sweeps in the 200 backstroke and 200 breaststroke.

Junior Jordan Bullock got two wins to open the season, and Daniela Carrillo earned first in the 200 breaststroke.

With away meets coming next, Martin is focusing on preparing the team for trav-eling meets.

“It’s very different rac-ing on the road after you sit on the bus for a little bit,” Martin said. “Our big thing for the next race is going to be to get them mentally ready for being able to race fast somewhere else.”

Next the Falcons take on Oakland and Eastern Michigan on Nov. 8. The team will be away until mid-January for more home meets.

the necessary plays to come out on top, as both shots got past goalkeeper Nick Landsberger.

“With that said, we’ve got another level, and we’ve got some gaps that we need to fill in,” Nichols said.

The loss was their third in their last four games, as they remain winless in the MAC.

Now, with just two MAC games left in the season, BG will need to play con-siderably better to keep their MAC championship hopes alive.

“Obviously we’ve boxed ourselves into a corner here in the MAC,” Nichols

said. “But, I like our chanc-es to rebound, learn and move forward.”

Looking to rebound over the last couple games, the Falcons will look to accel-erate the process when they take the field next against the University of Detroit.

The game will be the last of a 3-game road trip before they return home for their next MAC game.

The Titans will come into the game having not lost in their last four games, beating Cleveland State 3-0 in their most recent game.

The Falcons will be try-ing for their first victory since Oct. 7, as they begin their first game of the final 4-game stretch.

The BG volleyball team went one and one on the weekend at home, beating rival Toledo 25-22, 25-20, 21-25, 25-21 on Friday and losing to Ball State 19-25, 14-25, 19-25.

With the win, BG improves to 27-3 all-time against Toledo at home while getting its second Mid-American Conference win of the year. In addition, senior Erica Fullenkamp got her 2,000th career assist and head coach Danijela Tomic got her 199th career victory.

BG needed a good win and it got that against its rival, making the victory that much sweeter.

“It is always nice to beat Toledo,” Tomic said. “Our fans appreciated it and our team appreciated it ... I [just] love how our team fought and how they played with a lot of energy.”

BG had a .263 attack per-centage, which ranks sec-ond highest of the year for the team, while also out-digging the competition by a 74-70 margin.

In the first set, BG was all tied up with Toledo 17-17. Then Toledo took the lead 20-19. BG rallied to go on a 6-2 run to end the set.

In the second set, Toledo had a quick 7-3 start, but BG came from behind and went up 17-10, coasting to the win. In the third

set, BG could not take the lead after only being down 20-19 and Toledo won the set. Then BG tied up the fourth set at 10 and went on a surge scoring 10 of 12 points, inevitably putting the game away.

Fullenkamp finished with 47 assists and 14 digs, while sophomore Jelena Sunjic had 14 kills. Freshman Nicole Slimko and freshman Paige O’Connor added 11 kills.

BG then moved on to Saturday’s contest against Ball State, where they fell in three sets.

“When we executed the game plan that we had, it actually worked,” Tomic said. “We were winning and scoring points, but not all of our players were mindful and disciplined enough to do that. What I didn’t like was our defen-sive effort. I think that was the difference in this match ... That is some-thing that we empha-sized and talked about ... Unfortunately not every-body was prepared to play this match.”

BG was beat out by Ball State in seven of the eight statistical categories, the worst being in team attack percentage with BG get-ting .183 percent to the Cardinals’ .389.

“They had some nice kills that you couldn’t defend but we allowed them to score on us with roll shots, score on us with

tips, score on us with easy shots [and we can’t have that] so I hope it is a fluke,” Tomic said.

BG was neck-and-neck with the Cardinals in the first set tied at seven, but Ball State took the lead late 21-19 then scored four straight to win the set. In the second, BG lost control early with the score at 9-19, losing the set quickly.

Finally in the third, BG kept it close tied up at 12, but Ball State went on a run sealing the match and the victory.

The Falcons looked to use the loss against Ball State as a learning experi-ence.

“Obviously when you lose you see your faults,” said sophomore Alyssa Maloney. “But we can also grow on what our strengths were so we keep pushing towards those and keep on fixing what we didn’t work as well on.”

O’Connor had eight kills, while sophomore Madeline Garda had 10 digs in addition to sopho-more Alyssa Maloney with six kills, three blocks and three digs.

With the weekend now over BG moves to 5-17 overall on the season with a 2-8 MAC record.

BG will have its next con-test at home against Akron this Friday at 5 p.m. for the Halloween game. Then on Saturday BG hosts Buffalo at 5 p.m. for senior night.

goal. The Falcons’ 3-6-1 confer-

ence record was not enough to secure a spot in the Mid-

American Conference tour-nament though they are currently fourth in the MAC East Division.

“It’s disappointing that we won’t make postseason play, but a year ago, by this game, the MAC Tournament wasn’t even a discussion,”

said Basalyga. “We are going to get a few more days together and see how much further we can push our process.”

BG will end its 2014 regular season in a conference battle with Eastern Michigan Oct. 30 at Cochrane Field.
