fundraiser20k1Day raises money for Mercy Children’s Hospital

By Meg Kraft Reporter

Bowling Green Dance Marathon [BGDM] set out to raise $20,000 with a fundraising campaign from 10 p.m. Feb. 11 to 10 p.m. Feb. 12.

“20K1Day” was successful and ultimately surpassed the original goal with a total of $28,270.

The donations were raised through individual fundrais-ing, classroom change chal-lenges and spreading campus-wide awareness.

High schools, parents, friends, family and alumni assisted vol-unteers with the fundraising.

Senior Alison Doughty, direc-tor of BGDM, said the challenge was created in honor of BGDM’s 20th anniversary.

“We decided it would be a great challenge for us,” she said. “We had never done anything like that before and we decided if we’re gonna go for it, we’re gonna go big.”

Doughty said the money raised in 20K1Day will be added to the grand total of BGDM, which is donated to Mercy’s Children Hospital in Toledo.

The donat ions spe-cif ical ly benefit Miracle Families, a program that pro-vides care for children with medical needs.

“All this money goes direct-ly towards Mercy Hospital and ensures that no family is turned away because of their inability to pay for a treatment,” Doughty said.

The “20K” was raised and sur-passed, but why put a deadline on the fundraiser?

“We did it because we love a challenge,” Doughty said. “Sometimes a time limit helps generate donations and we wanted to show the world that we can thrive under the pressure.”

Residents in Bowling Green no longer have to travel out of town in order to fix their Apple products.

The Apple Outlet offers a large variety of MacBooks, iPads and iPhones for sale on sites like Craigslist and eBay.

The Apple Outlet has expanded to two locations and is opening another location in Bowling Green.

“We have our main location in BG and a second store in Findlay, Ohio,” Michael Oberdick, founder of the Apple Outlet, said. “We also are opening a store to do the exact same thing we do except for Windows PCs

directly next door in BG called Computer Wholesale.”

Oberdick founded the Apple Outlet in 2013 as a small reseller of pre-owned Apple laptops on eBay.

“Apple Outlet started from buying broken and used devices on eBay out of my bed-room in 2013,” Oberdick said. “After a few months, I had started making connections to buy off lease bulk Apple laptops and things took off from there.”

Currently, the Apple Outlet also sells iPhone and iPads.

Oberdick has an extensive background in Apple products and software.

The Bowling Green Middle School performing arts center hosted a Black History Month assembly for students Friday.

Students of the middle school filled the auditorium to hear what their fellow classmates performing in the event had to say.

The first part of the presentation showed Elzie Odom, the prior mayor of the city of Arlington, who was shown on a projector and spoke of the song “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” in which he entitled “The Negro National Anthem.”

According to Odom, the song spoke

to him about God assisting the African American culture throughout slavery.

After the video, students in the audi-ence were asked to stand while the per-forming group of middle school stu-dents sang the song to the crowd.

Next, the students all introduced themselves to the crowd and spoke of influential African Americans through-out our history.

Individuals such as Ray Charles Robinson, Carter G. Woodsen and Barack Obama were shown throughout a presentation with slide shows on each of them. The slides explained to the stu-dents how important these people are in

Middle school hosts assembly for Black History Month Students from University, high school come to perform

  SHEILA HOEGLER | THE BG NEWS

DANCE GROUP performed at the Black History Month assembly at BG middle School.

Junior Emily Eskins, green morale captain, raised $1,000 in 24 hours.

“Once I joined Chi Omega, my sorority sisters got me involved. My fresh-man year, I fell hardcore in love with [BGDM].”

Eskins said 20K1Day has greatly benefitted Dance Marathon by spreading the word.

“BGSU is one of the founding schools for Dance Marathon, so we’re hoping it challenges other schools to raise money,” she said.

Sophomore Ca leb Harrah, teal morale captain, said he is very involved with Dance Marathon for the kids.

“Seeing the kids in the hospital having to get treatments and not live a normal childhood, it makes me want to raise money,” Harrah said.

He said 20K1Day has taken BGDM to the next

step with prestigious goals, “it challenged us to make miracles happen in one day.”

The 20K1Day Reveal was filled with laughter and tears as the organization unveiled the total amount of money raised.

“I feel amazing. I couldn’t have done it without everyone here in Dance Marathon,” said Fundraiser Chairman Thomas Hamway said. “Everyone says props to me, but I say props to them.”

Hamway said this event will occur annually.

“We’re looking to do this every year. It’s definitely something I’m gonna pass down. From here, we’re going to push dancer week and Ziggython.”

Along with the fundrais-ing, Doughty said 20K1Day has been a great recruit-ment tool and many stu-dents registered to partici-pate in Dance Marathon.

It’s the heartbeat and pulse of the BGSU campus and community

By Alex AlusheffCity EditorStudents returning to the city from winter

break may find themselves a few belongings

short.Usually the rate of theft rises when students

leave because their apartments are unattended

for weeks, said Maj. Tony Hetrick, deputy chief

and public information officer for the Bowling

Green Police Division.There were 20 reports of theft, burglary and

robbery in December, 11 more than November,

according to a summary report provided by

Hetrick.Other crimes, however, decreased while stu-

dents were home for break.“Less people in town means less activity,”

Hetrick said. “A lot of different factors go into

reductions.”Factors like cold weather may have convinced

more people to stay home or indoors instead of

making the trek downtown or elsewhere, he said.

Liquor law violations are some of the crimes

that lessen during breaks, Hetrick said.Police made 42 liquor law arrests in December,

which is down from 72 in November, according

to the summary report.While crimes may have f luctuated in the city,

crime on campus dwindled.For campus police, there is usually a decline in

calls for service because the majority of the 6,500

students who live on campus leave, said Capt.

Michael Campbell.There is the possibility for a spike in crimes like

theft, but campus police do not find out until the

first few weeks of classes as students return and

might discover some of their things are missing,

he said.During break Campbell said campus police

have time to focus their energy on tasks they nor-

mally can’t when classes are in session.“We have more foot patrol and are able to check

buildings and have more visibility,” he said.Even with most students out of town, most bar

stools stayed full during break. Banan Alkilani, general manager of Cla-Zel,

said the bar was continually busy during break

due to the fact that they hosted “Club KISS” on

weekends and community members made up for

the student attendance loss.Because crowds remained the same, Alkilani

said there is no surge or loss of fights and sneak-

ins, which he said are at a minimum anyway.

Holidays also may have contributed to high bar

attendance and crimes in the city.Some crimes spike at big party days like St.

This year, sophomore Brett Vermillion aims to be a nicer guy because “it makes people happy.”

Vermillion said his reso-lutions typically last about a month.

He believes it may be hard for people to keep resolutions for a few reasons.

“You can’t be lazy,” Vermillion

said. “You have to find time to make for it.”

A common resolution he sees is to work out more, which he does every day.A past resolution to work out

time that to remember what we’re here to do?” Solis said.

Matt Haschak, director of IT security and networking in the department of informa-tion technology at the University, will also give a report on AlertBG. Alert BG is a text message and email alert system, in which the campus police department sends messages to warn the campus community of situations., according to the University website. Right now, the program is opt-in for students, who can sign up on their MyBGSU page, but USG is looking to make it opt-out. Opt-out would mean students would auto-matically be signed up for the program.The weekly meeting will take place in 201

City council will host a public

hearing tonight so residents can

voice their opinions about the

controversial rezoning of land

at the corner of Wooster and

Prospect Streets.

While residents will be able to

voice their opinions at the 6 p.m.

hearing, the council likely won’t

vote on the B-3 or B-5 zoning ordi-

nances at its 7 p.m. meeting at

the City Administrative Services

Building. The delay of voting

comes as the City’s Planning

Commission decided to further

examine the proposed ordinanc-

es, which will delay it’s proposal

about the project to council.

While the delay may push a

final decision back to city coun-

cil’s February meeting, some resi-

dents and council members are

happy about the delay.

“The residents believe we need

to take great care of this one,”

said Daniel Gordon, a council-

man who represents the residents

of the area being rezoned. “I’m

not going to support or uphold

anything that doesn’t have their

input involved.”

Residents have been asking

for more time to consider the

ordinance’s specifics since it

was introduced to council on

Oct. 15, 2012.

Gordon supports residents who

have asked the city to slow down

the passing of the ordinance in

order to consider specifics of the

proposed ordinances. Specifics

include potential buffer areas

around what would be the newly

rezoned sites, number of floors

and what business can be includ-

ed in the new spaces.

“I’m glad the process has been

slowed down,” Gordon said.

“Anything we can do to boost the

inclusion of everyone’s thoughts

and opinions is a good thing.”

Now that the process has been

“slowed down,” the Planning

Commission will announce its

recommendation to council at its

STATEBRIEFBrown sworn in as

state representative

Republican Tim Brown was sworn in

Monday as a member of the Ohio House of

Representatives.

Brown will serve the third district as a

state representative. The ceremony took

place at 10 a.m. on the floor of the Ohio

House of Representatives in the State

Capitol building in Columbus. Brown was

sworn in by Betty D. Montgomery, a former

attorney general and a former Wood County

prosecutor and state senator.

“It’s definitely going to be a new chal-

lenge for me,” Brown, who previously served

14 years as a Wood County Commissioner,

said of his new position.

Brown also arranged a tour of the State

Capitol immediately following the ceremony.

“That way folks will have the time to see

the people’s house,” he said.

A House session also took place Monday

at 2 p.m. The session didn’t deal with bills or

legislation, but was more procedural, Brown

said. The session formally swore in all House

members at once and dealt with committee

assignments and structures, he said.

Brown and his fellow representatives’

main task during the next six months will be

to formulate the state budget, Brown said.

“We still have a very challenging econ-

omy on our hands and the work ahead is

going to be meaningful,” he said.

Wood County Commissioners James

Carter and Joel Kuhlman also hosted a

reception in honor of Brown Dec. 19. The

event, which took place in the Wood County

office building, honored Brown for his years

of service as a commissioner.

Mayor Richard Edwards declared the day

“Tim Brown Day.”

“It turned out to be really, really nice,”

Brown said. “It was quite humbling to have

that kind of reception.”

Brown spent his final months as com-

missioner by finalizing the budget. His

last day in his Wood County office was

this past Monday, when he packed up his

final things.

“I’ve kind of been getting things in order

so I’m ready to go after the swearing-in,”

he said.

ORDINANCE

Developers who wish to put a strip mall on East Wooster Street between North Prospect and

North Summit streets were met with opposition from community members when they requested

a zoning change. It originally would have allowed for a four story building to be constructed in the

lot. To try to appease both parties, city council introduced a new zone that would restrict a building

to two stories and disallow rental apartments on the first floor. A public hearing will be hosted to

further discuss the legislation Monday at 6 p.m. in the Council Chamber on the third floor of the

City Administrative Services building.

CITY DECLARES SNOW EMERGENCY

Bowling Green received its first big snow fall on Dec. 26, prompting the city to declare a snow emer-

exceeds two inches and above. Snow crews dispensed 150 tons of salt on the road ways and 61 people were

cited for not removing their vehicles from the street.

DON’T LOOK DOWN

Winter months dampen moods

University plans for building renovations, overhauls in future

Olscamp, other halls slated for updates, expansions

By Eric LagattaAssistant Campus Editor

When freshman Rebecca Gonya wakes up and is greeted by a frigid cold and a snow-covered ground, she doesn’t let it lower her mood.

During the cold winter months, students may find that the harsh winds and frequent snows of Bowling Green affect their motiva-tion and spirits. Some may find it dif-ficult to get out and go to class.

But for Gonya, the solution is simple.

“Bundle up and get through the day,” she said.

Many students will experience a decrease in mood during the winter months, said Dryw Dworsky, direc-tor of the Psychological Services Center and clinical assistant profes-sor in the psychology department.

“I wouldn’t call it a dramatic increase, but I do see a lot of mood-related issues in the colder months,” Dworsky said.

These “blues” can be attributed to a hormone imbalance caused by lack of exposure to sunlight, said Howard Cromwell, associate professor in the psychology department. This hor-mone is melatonin, he said.

“You need to have an exposure to light for a certain period of time to have that melatonin work properly,” Cromwell said.

Altered melatonin leads to both sleep issues and depression, he said.

But the Psychological Services Center is there to help.

The center, located in 300 Psychology Building, offers a wide variety of services to the campus and surrounding community by super-vised graduate students. The center helps those struggling with anything from depression to substance abuse, according to the center’s website.

Within a few years, students may hear more of a certain distinc-tive tone ringing throughout the musical arts building— the tone of Steinway pianos.

The College of Musical Arts is working on becoming an All-Steinway School, which means 90 percent or more of the pianos used in the school will be made by Steinway and Sons piano company, said Jeffrey Showell, dean of the College of Musical Arts.

“There’s really no doubt that Steinways are the best pianos in the world,” Showell said. “The best music schools in the country are All-Steinway schools.”

Acquiring more Steinway pianos will give the school an edge in recruit-ing, Showell said.

“It sends the message that the school is committed to learning at the

highest level,” he said. Showell brought the initiative of becoming All-Steinway when he came to

the University about a year and a half ago, he said. One of the first steps was getting the Moore Musical Arts Center ready to

house Steinways. In September, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution to replace the aging HVAC units in the building.

“While the units have been serviced regularly and are reasonably well maintained, the overall performance has been deteriorating along with the physical state of the units,” according to the resolution. “In addition, the College of Musical Arts is planning to become an ‘All-Steinway School’ (piano), and the current climate conditions within the building will not support that designation.”

For a fine piano, humidity cannot change suddenly, Showell said. Showell said the college tries to keep the Steinways in parts of the building that

During the next few years, stu-dents may see construction all across campus.

The University is planning to renovate, expand or rebuild some of the academic buildings across campus and the renovations will benefit every college, Steven Krakoff, Associate Vice President of Capitol Planning and Campus Operations, said.

“It’s important that all of our buildings adequately support the users,” Krakoff said. “Whether they are residence halls or classroom buildings, it is important that they

are in good condition and that they provide the right amount of technology and other amenities to serve students and faculty.”

This summer the University will begin to renovate and expand the College of Health and Human Services building, renovate the second floor of Olscamp Hall and replace the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system in the Moore Musical Arts building, Krakoff said.

VALENTINE’S DAY SPECIALS

There are no uninteresting places; there are only uninter-ested people.

This is a bold statement, but I say it as someone who has spent his career at the University alternating between Salzburg, Austria, which no one would deny is an interest-ing place, and Northwest Ohio, which many people probably think is uninteresting.

After all, Salzburg has a beautiful old town, with churches, palaces and apart-ment houses from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and Baroque eras, not to mention some gems of postmodern architecture.

The core of the city lies along a river and between rocky hills. On the hill on the left bank there is a castle, a fortress, that was built over many centuries.

On the hill on the right bank there is a Capuchin monastery. You can visit Mozart’s birth-place and a house he lived in with his family. You can view the many sites where the movie “The Sound of Music” was filmed.

The Alps are within sight of the city on a clear day. If you climb those hills, you can look west into the German state of Bavaria and south and east to see even more Alps.

And you can look to the north to see lakes and hills in a relatively flatter region. Salzburg and its surroundings are undeniably picturesque.

What do we have in Northwest Ohio? No Alps; just flat fields and drainage ditches. The oldest buildings are from the mid to late nine-teenth century. The “hills” are usually a pile of earth exca-vated for a building or pond.

No comparison with Salzburg.

But we should not be so quick to compare. We should try to look at every place for what it is and try to figure out what and why it is. Curiosity should not depend on being wowed.

Nearly everyone can be impressed by a mountain or a castle, but it takes imagination to be impressed by a cornfield.

So here are some questions about our area to pique your interest. You may already know the answers to some of them.

Why did settlers put Bowling Green where it is? What geo-graphical, topographical and commercial reasons are there for this town? Was there a Native American settlement here?

Why was Bowling Green cho-sen for building a university in 1910? Why is the town cemetery surrounded by the University’s campus? Where was the sta-dium before the current one was built?

Is Poe Road named after Edgar Allan Poe? Why is Ridge Street called Ridge Street? Is there a ridge there?

What is “Fallen Timbers” besides a shopping center in Maumee? Why is there a recon-structed fort in Perrysburg? Who is Perrysburg named after?

There is a park in Pemberville called “William Henry Harrison Park.” What did a president have to do with Pemberville? Why is Pemberville situated where it is?

Why are so many things around here named “Black Swamp,” like the Black Swamp Pub in the Union?

Bowling Green may not have centuries-old churches and palaces, but it does have a neo-Romanesque county courthouse. Why was such a massive, fancily decorated building put up in 1894?

Where did the money for it come from? What is the “Boomtown” mentioned on street signs in the old center of town?

As you walk around your town, don’t take it for granted.

Scratch the surface; it’s a fas-cinating place.

Respond to Geoff at thenews@bgnews.com

GEOFFREY HOWESCOLUMNIST

Bowling Green, surrounding area more fascinating than perceived

Imagine this: you are sitting in a colossal ballroom early in the morning, with several hundred other people, with whom you mill around and chat for hours, knowing you will be there for two days of small talk, mingling and many breakout sessions.

Whether that sounds more like heaven or torture to you, this scene illustrates the reality of two big words in the lives of many undergrads: profes-sional development.

As a pre-service teacher, I’ve been told many times how important professional development is. We have to stay on top of best practices and current research and go to regional and national con-ferences — all before getting that first job.

What nobody told me, though, was how fun it is.

Over Thursday and Friday of last week, I had the chance to attend this year’s confer-ence for the Ohio Middle Level Association held at Kalahari Resort in Sandusky.

Even though I had to leave campus by 6 a.m. to get there on time, it was very much worth it.

For one thing, I had never been to Kalahari Resort before and as I went through the morning shooting the breeze and gathering free classroom material from the many exhibitors, I tried hard not to get lost or express my awe at how massive the place is.

The day was over by 4 p.m. and we were free from then on to play in the waterpark, shop and explore. I’m gener-ally not a fan of waterparks, but I got over it. After all, how often would I get to do this again?

We heard from two key-note speakers and the first was Ron Clark.

In case you don’t know, he’s an internationally known educator who recent-ly transformed an old ware-house in urban Atlanta into a school for disadvantaged students called “The Ron

Clark Academy.” He has been on Oprah

and published three books. In 2006, a movie called “The Ron Clark Story” was pro-duced, based on his experi-ences teaching in rural North Carolina and Harlem.

Famous for his presidential rap and standing on tables while teaching, he taught me a lot in his speech, such as how you should spend the majority of your instruction time standing up — not sit-ting down — and how you should keep your hands above your waist.

Most of his ideas, such as his opinion that America has become “wussified” and that music, art and gym classes are not electives, but essentials, seemed less radical to me and more like common sense.

In short, it was the most inspiring, emotional and just plain fun couple of days that I have had in long while.

Professional develop-ment events are very impor-tant indeed, not only for the insane network opportuni-ties, but also for the cama-raderie.

There’s something power-ful about being in a room full of people who are there for the same goal; in this case, making a difference in the lives of young adolescents.

It’s worth it to spend time with people who are pursu-ing the same career and to get that booster shot of moti-vation that you may need more than you realize. Ask around! What opportunities do you have in your field?

Never has building my resume been such grand fun and I hope you find those same chances.

not go to college, everything is self taught,” Oberdick said. “I currently have over 25 Apple and Microsoft cer-tifications.”

In order for the Apple Outlet to be successful, Oberdick has a full staff that assists in running his business.

Matthew Loar, director of technol-ogy, Deb Wireman, director of train-ing, Chris Kervick, inventory director and specialists Tom, Ronald, David

and Andrew are staff members at the Apple Outlet.

“Wilson Usman is over web devel-opment and Jacob Parr does graphic designing and marketing,” he said.Oberdick expects locals to

come to the Apple Outlet instead of the Apple Store in Toledo because the Apple Outlet is more cost effective.

“We specialize in off lease pre-owned. These devices are 100 percent capable of most task users need at a fraction of the cost,” Oberdick said. “We also have the most cost effective repair system in the area, providing

Mac repairs and iPhone/iPad screen repairs.”

Although the Apple Outlet has com-petitors such as Ziggabyte and the Apple Store, Oberdick does not use many advertising strategies to draw in customers, instead using word of mouth and great customer service.

“We do some small amounts of adver-tising but most of our brand aware-ness has come from word of mouth,” Oberdick said. “We have found that by simply taking care of everyone as best as possible and treating them as family has people telling many others about us.”

Burek said faculty plays a major role in setting the University apart from other online programs.

“Our faculty have national and international reputations for their work in their specialties. We have low student-faculty ratios at 5:1, which allows for personalized attention,” she said.

Burek said that instructors of the online program are always full-time faculty members of the University.

She said the University provides quality and flexibility in criminal jus-tice graduate education.

Steven Lab, criminal justice coor-dinator, noted the importance of fac-ulty and flexibility within the course.

“All courses are taught by the same full-time faculty as on campus; stu-dents can enter six times a year and all courses last seven weeks,” he said.

Lab said that focusing on the

online curriculum and implement-ing new programs have improved the University’s criminal justice program over the last couple years.

“We have been emphasizing the master’s program and just started a new Master’s in Forensic Science program that [criminal justice] is very involved in,” he said.

Sarah Barnes, graduate student of the online program, said the amount of work that goes along with the pro-gram depends on the amount of time and effort that students put into it.

Barnes chose the University for her online degree because of the faculty involvement.

“I chose [the master’s of crimi-nal justice online program] for the commitment to helping people achieve their goals in the aspect of education,” she said, “I also chose [the University] because from the moment I called Dr. Burek, I felt like she actually did care about making sure I was prepared.”

Barnes said navigating through

a new, unknown system was eas-ier thanks to communication and training from Burek.

Graduate online student Dave Polak said the courses benefit him in his profession.

“The Masters of Criminal Justice classes are making me think in ways I am not used to by challeng-ing me,” Polak said. “Also, by work-ing as a police officer, I can use the past experiences and certain aspects of my job and relate them to my classes.”

Burek said the program has recently progressed by integrating online students and on-campus students in an online course that allows for interaction and collabo-ration between the two groups.

The Criminal Justice program welcomes applications for both online and on-campus programs.

American culture today. In the next video on the projector,

an African American man spoke about the importance of the new trending title “Black Lives Matter.”

During the YouTube video, the man explained that as a country we have a long way to go when it comes to racism. According to him, people today continue to use racial profiling and often view African Americans as a threat.

To follow up on the video, students from the Bowling Green area then came in to teach the middle school about the dance form of stepping.

A group of girls in the Black Culture Club from Bowling Green High School performed a stepping rou-

tine to the crowd and explained the importance of stepping to the African American culture.

After the steppers left the stage, a group of students from the University came in to talk about what they do within their organization called the Bowling Green High Flyers.

The organization was created by four African American students at the University. The students wanted to find something to be involved in off-campus so they founded the BG High Flyers.

The group of four men performed mul-tiple f lips and dance routines that they had rehearsed for the show.

After the assembly was over, the stu-dents returned to their classes for the rest of the school day, having learned more about Black History Month from the assembly.

Struggling in the early parts of the season in recent memory, the Falcon baseball team looked to put this in the rearview mirror on Friday.

After conceding three early runs, freshman Randy Righter, making his first collegiate start, displayed opposite field power by belting a 3-run homerun over the right field wall. This gave BG its first lead of the game in the middle of the fourth inning.

Southeast Missouri State answered back in the bottom of the inning with a game-tying run to lock the game at 4-4.

The Falcons outscored the Redhawks 3-2 the rest of the way for the 7-6 non-conference victory to open the season.

Sophomore Greg Basalyga paced the Falcons going 3-for-4 in the middle of the order, as Righter went 2-for-4 while pushing four runs across the plate.

Andrew Lacinak picked up the start, but reliever Devin Daugherty threw innings of 1-run ball to pick up the win.

The second game of the day was much the same.

However, this time, the Redhawks got the best of the Falcons.

Prior to the first pitch, the game was shortened to seven innings because of declining temperatures. This may have hurt the chances for BG after rallying late.

Down 6-3 to start the seventh inning, an RBI double from lead-off hitter Brandon Howard cut the deficit to two when Trey Keegan followed it up with an RBI single. However, Matt Smith grounded into a game-ending double play as BG dropped the second game, 6-5.

The Falcons were unable to take advantage of four errors by SEMO as starter Trevor Blaylock issued three free passes while hitting a fourth batter.

“I was very pleased with our effort on the first day of our season after not having practiced outside since October is very encouraging,” said head coach Danny Schmitz. “There are several facets that we will continue to work on improving as we move forward this season.”

BG didn’t have the same offen-sive success on day two.

Despite collecting nine hits, four walks and two hit batters, the Falcons were held scoreless until

WEEKEND By Corey Krupa

Reporter

The 8th ranked Bowling Green hockey team split the series on the road last weekend against the Ferris State Bulldogs. With the split, the Falcons record is now 18-7-5 overall and 14-5-3 in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.

In Friday’s game, BG goalie Tommy Burke tied a career-high with 43 saves as the Falcons received goals from four different players in the 4-1 win. Ferris State outshot the Falcons 44-23.

“He played well,” said head coach Chris Bergeron. “They had a hard push in the second period that we didn’t have a response for and Tommy was there. He’s stolen us a game in this building before. I don’t necessarily think that’s what tonight was, but he was very good.”

Brandon Hawkins scored early in the first period to give the Falcons a 1-0 advantage. Then, early in the second period, Ben Greiner added a goal of his own to increase BG’s lead to 2-0.

Brent Tate and Matt Pohlkamp scored goals to give the Falcons a 4-0 lead, and the team went on to win the game 4-1. Mitchell McClain recorded two assists in the game.

“We’re excited about the number of wins,” Bergeron said. “A goal of ours is to play at home in the playoffs and that goal is achievable.”

Entering the night with the number one ranked penalty killing unit in the NCAA, BG held Ferris State to 0-for-4 on the power play.

In Saturday’s action, BG found themselves trailing 2-0 at the end of the first period.

Late in the second period, Adam Berkle scored a goal to cut the defi-

cit in half. Matt Pohlkamp had an assist on the play.

Then, in the third peri-od, Ben Murphy’s goal tied the game at 2-2. Brandon Hawkins recorded an assist on the goal.

Ferris State scored with less than 90 seconds remain-

ing in overtime to win the game 3-2. BG goalie Chris Nell made 38 saves in the overtime loss.

“When you don’t start the game on time, you get what you deserve, and we didn’t start on time,” Bergeron said. “We were climbing uphill the whole time. We proved again that when painted into a cor-ner, we can fight, but for us to be a great team, we have

to find a way to start these games and close out these weekends.”

The Bulldogs outshot the Falcons 41-30 in their win. They outshot the Falcons 85-53 in the weekend series.

BG will be back home this weekend against Northern Michigan in another WCHA matchup. The puck will drop at 7:07 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

A 17-point first half deficit proved to be too much for the Bowling Green women’s basketball team.

The Falcons were within one point [18-17] at the 9:10 mark, but they would never get any closer. Ball State finished the half on a 22-5 run to help propel them to a Mid-American Conference victory.

Getting the game within 14 points two separate times in the second half, the Falcons had no answer for Shelbie Justice’s 16-point second half.

Each instance that BG [9-15, 2-11 MAC] cut the lead to 14, Justice countered with a layup to halt the Falcons’ run.

The 7-for-10 shooting from Justice was only part of the offensive efficiency for the Cardinals. Four others fin-ished the game with at least a 50 percent shooting percent-age as well as one other with

double figures.Ball State finished the

game shooting 46.9 percent including 45 percent from beyond the arc.

Not only did the Falcons fail to find an answer, but they were unable to find a similar offensive rhythm.

Miriam Justinger as the only one to shoot 50 per-cent or better, the team fin-ished 14 of 49 from the field including 7 of 23 from deep. These shooting woes have plagued BG over its recent losing streak.

“At the end of the day, if we don’t knock down shots, it’s going to be the same result,” said head coach Jennifer Roos.

Giving significant minutes to just seven players against BSU, the team has battled oft-tired legs. With few options to correct the issues, the fatigue has seemingly forced out-of-character misses on open looks.

“We just had trouble knock-

ing down shots because we have tired legs,” Roos said. “A lot of our shots were short, right on, but short and that’s a product of our limited num-bers.”

Now, although a couple weeks later than it was need-ed, the Falcons get their bye week. Not playing again until next Saturday, Feb. 21, the team will use the extra days to work on themselves.

“We have to work on a couple things; we have to get better physically, emotionally and mentally. The hurting of the majority of our team is physically,” Roos said.

With a significant por-tion of the Falcons’ struggles resulting from fatigue, the team intends to make good use of the time they will have away from the court.

BG will take the court again when Kent State comes to town for a rematch of an early-season matchup in which the Flashes bested the Falcons.

The Bowling Green track and field team completed its regu-lar season this past weekend with two separate meets.

The first of those meets was on Friday, with redshirt senior Brooke Pleger and junior Makenzie Wheat participat-ing in The Big Meet at Grand Valley State.

“There’s been a really big leap in my performance,” Wheat said. “This year from last year I’ve gotten so much stronger and my technique is so much more finessed.”

Wheat finished sixth in

the shot put with a throw of 48-feet-11. That is about two feet away from her personal and season best throw of 52-feet-1.

Pleger continued her strong performances in the weight throw with a throw of 67-feet-6 and a second place finish. The throw is eight inches short of the record she set last week at 68-feet-2.5.

The rest of the Falcon team competed at the two day SPIRE Division I invita-tional. On the first day of the meet, redshirt sophomore Mackenzie McMillin and junior Amanda Garlak both set personal bests in the 5000.

McMillin ran a time of 17 minutes 38.96 seconds, which beat her last personal best by 25 seconds. The time was just 5 seconds short of a Mid-American Conference auto-matic qualifier. She is now ranked 12th in the conference.

Garlak ran a time of 17 min-utes 41.18 seconds, nearly 20 seconds faster than her last personal best.

“Mackenzie and Amanda took nice steps today in the 5000,” said head coach Lou Snelling. “I’m excited for what they accomplished, but also for what it means for

the seventh inning. Randy Righter then hit his second homerun of the season to give BG its lone run of the game in a 5-1 loss.

BG was unable to keep SEMO off the scoreboard, too. Starter Zac Carey gave up three runs through three before reliever Brett Fitzwater gave up another two runs [unearned] through 2.2 innings.

“I thought that our first two pitchers struggled with location, but they battled and it was good to get their feet wet,” Schmitz said. “We out-hit them 9-to-8, but need to take better advantage of those opportunities going forward in order to be suc-cessful.”

BG also struggled in the field. After just one error through the first 16 innings of the season, the Falcons committed three in the third game.

This, paired with a domi-nating performance from opposing starter Ryan Lenaburg, proved too much for the young Falcons’ team to overcome. Lenaburg threw 6.1 innings of one-run base-ball while striking out eight.

Despite the strong show-ing to begin the season, the Falcons were unable to fin-ish quite as strong, dropping the final two games of the series.

A master strategist and tireless activist, Bayard Rustin is best remembered as the organizer of

the 1963 March on Washington, one of the largest nonviolent protests ever held in the United States. He brought Gandhi’s protest techniques to the American civil rights movement, and helped mold Martin Luther King, Jr. into an international symbol of peace and nonviolence.

By the 1950s, Rustin was an expert organizer of human rights protests. In 1958, he played an

important role in coordinating a march in Aldermaston, England, in which 10,000 attendees demonstrated against nuclear weapons.

Despite these achievements, Rustin was silenced, threatened, arrested, beaten, imprisoned and fired from important leadership positions, largely because he was an openly gay man in a fiercely homophobic era. Five years in the making and the winner of numerous awards, Brother Outsider presents a feature-length documentary portrait, focusing on Rustin’s activism for peace, racial equality, economic justice and human rights.

Today, the United States is still struggling with many of the issues Bayard Rustin sought to change during his long, illustrious career. His focus on civil and economic rights and his belief in peace, human rights and the dignity of all people remain as relevant today as they were in the 1950s and 60s.

For a young Bowling Green tennis team, the time to shine on the court was now.

Freshman Megan Miller, in action against Cleveland St. Friday night, saw doubles and singles victories for the Falcons in a 5-2 loss to the Vikings.

Miller paired up with sophomore Harley Hutchison in a doubles match to defeat the CSU pairing of Victoria Bensimon and Jana Schober 7-6 [with a 7-4 tie breaking win].

This doubles win by the duo of Miller and Hutchison was their third win in five dual matches this spring.

After the doubles action, Miller went on to face Mathilde Orange in a singles match-up.

In the first set Miller jumped out early on Orange to win the set 6-1. The next set was much closer, but saw Miller take the victory 6-4, winning her sec-ond flight match.

Miller’s singles victory was not the only one on Friday night. Emily Witt defeated Schober 7-6 [4], 0-6, 1-0 [10-5] in her third flight match-up.

Despite another team defeat, head coach Olga Elkin was excited to get back out there against Cincinnati Saturday afternoon.

“The energy and excitement of the match was amazing from start to finish,” Elkin said. “We are excited to get back out there as a team tomorrow.”

Saturday afternoon saw a

similar face stand out amongst the crowd. That face was again, Miller.

In Miller’s singles matchup with Katya Bure, the opening set was taken by Bure 1-6, but Miller rallied back taking the second set 6-4.

This set up a third set with a 10-point tie breaker that Miller won 10-5, and ultimately took the second flight match.

Unlike Friday night, where the pair of Miller and Hutchison won their doubles match, Saturday saw the pair lose their first flight doubles match to the UC pairing of Lauren Bellinger and Kelly Poggensee-Wei 7-5.

Other Falcons in action saw similar results in both singles and doubles action.

Hutchison, Emily Witt, Antonina Farrar, Leeah Floyd and Sydney Seeley all saw straight set defeats in singles play.

Pairs of Floyd and Witt along with Farrar and Seeley saw 6-0 and 6-1 defeats in doubles as well.

Despite the losses over the weekend, head coach Elkin took away positives to move forward with.

“I am very proud of the way the girls competed today after a long and tough match yester-day,” Elkin said. “We saw some great tennis and improvements from the girls this weekend.”

They hope to take these improvements with them as they move on to a three match road trip starting next weekend.

them later this track season in that event.”

Distance runners contin-ued to shine the second day of the event. Redshirt junior Maria Meredith ran the mile with a time of 5 minutes 6.87 seconds for a sixth place finish. That time is about two seconds slower than her personal best.

Junior Becca Rae set a new personal best in the 3000 and took a fifth place finish with a time of 10 minutes 4.23 sec-onds. Redshirt junior Andrea

Alt placed eighth in the same distance, running a season best time of 10 minutes 10.85 seconds.

In the sprints, junior Alicia Arnold ran the 60 and posted a time of 7.72 seconds. Junior Demetra Taylor ran the 60 hurdles in 8.97 seconds.

Both runners will have the opportunity to score in their respective events in two weeks.

“With the season largely behind us, we need to use the remaining time we have to finalize our preparation for the MAC Championships,” Snelling said.
