An offi cer-involved shooting left one woman dead in Mount Airy Saturday afternoon.

Cincinnati Police Offi cer Matthew Latzy responded to a scene in the 2900 block of High Forest Lane where he discharged his fi rearm twice, striking and ultimately killing Erica Collins, 26.

“She had two bullet wounds, one was to the head and that one did go through the mid-portion of the brain on the right side,” said Hamilton County Coroner Lakshmi Sammarco. “She had one bullet wound to the upper torso. That bullet did go through the heart.”

Latzy responded to a domestic dispute Collins called in at the Park Valley Apartments at approximately 1:15 p.m.

Collins alleged her sister, Elizabeth Collins, was attempting to break into her apartment by kicking and hitting the door — the dispute reportedly concerned gas money, said Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig.

Upon arriving at the scene, Latzy observed Elizabeth Collins loading personal items into a Ford sports utility vehicle as Erica Collins stood on the balcony of her apartment, overlooking the apartment parking lots.

Erica Collins exited the apartment carrying a butcher knife with a 7-inch blade and ran toward the front driver side of Elizabeth Collins’ vehicle. Erica Collins made several motions, attempting to slash the tire, Craig said.

The knife was displayed at the press conference Sunday. Erica Collins’ possession of the knife prompted Latzy to remove his

fi rearm, a standard issue Smith & Wesson 9-mm handgun, from his holster and hold it in a low, ready position, Craig said.

“Offi cer Latzy made several verbal commands for Erica to drop the knife,” Craig said. “Erica refused to comply and turned to face Offi cer Latzy.”

According to witnesses at the scene, Erica Collins told Latzy he would “have to shoot [her]” and then moved in his direction. CPD interviewed nine witnesses after going door to door in the complex searching for anyone who saw the incident.

“Erica then raised the knife, at which point Offi cer Latzy, with immediate fear of his life and safety, discharged his fi rearm twice, striking Erica,” Craig said.

Erica Collins died at the scene after the Cincinnati Fire Department arrived.

“She declared that the offi cer should shoot her,” Craig said. “Why she called [CPD] and then decided to confront the offi cer, we don’t have an answer to that.”

CPD offi cers are trained to shoot the torso, discharging their fi rearms twice to stop the threat, Craig said, and Latzy feared that if Erica Collins had made contact, the knife would have ripped through his protective vest.

Latzy had never used his fi rearm in his 14 years of service with CPD. He has been placed on paid leave.

It is unknown if Erica Collins’ torso or head was struck fi rst, but the gunshot wound to the head would have stopped her, Sammarco said.

Latzy was three-to-fi ve feet away from Erica Collins when he deployed the shots.

If an offi cer has time to recover a weapon or engage in other tactics, they are trained to do so, but because of the immediate threat, Latzy responded by discharging his fi rearm, said Assistant Police Chief James Whalen. CPD offi cers undergo annual fi rearms training, he said.

“Whenever an offi cer feels an immediate threat to his life, his partner or another person, they are trained to protect [them],” Craig said. “In some incidences, that means using a fi rearm.”

Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory acknowledged the case deserves scrutiny and said it’s important to wait until the investigation is completed before casting judgment.

“It’s a tough situation — police offi cers are sworn to protect the citizens of Cincinnati and, doing that job, sometimes they have to take actions that result in loss of life,” Mallory said. “Nobody takes that lightly.”

While CPD recently determined to decrease its use of stun guns, the change in policy played no role in the incident.

Because of the immediate threat, a stun gun would not have been an option, Craig said.

“The offi cer is very saddened by this event,” Craig said. “He was very concerned about her and the family.”

Latzy will return to active duty in seven days pending a psychological evaluation.

It is hard to know if University of Cincinnati Police would have handled the incident in a similar manner, said UC Police Division Chief Michael Cureton.

Each encounter is unique and it’s impossible to speculate about the response a law enforcer, he said.

“The policy is that an offi cer is always allowed to defend themselves,” Cureton said. “That is a universal statement about any law enforcement offi cer that carries a gun.”

CPD will release information about the shooting in Mount Airy as it becomes available, Mallory said.

Task force: Ohio lacks collaboration

A task force recommended Ohio universities provide incentives for university leadership to make commercialization a priority and improve collaboration between industry and public universities.

Findings by the Ohio Commercialization Task Force — created by the Ohio Board of Regents — were presented to University of Cincinnati administrators Thursday.

Ohio’s universities lack the commercialized collaboration with the private sector necessary to create a healthy environment for new growth and innovation.

The task force analyzed data and reports ranking states based on the commercialization of their public institutions of higher learning.

“Ohio universities rank well below the average for universities when compared to other states,” said Vinny Gupta, chair of the Ohio Commercialization Task force.

The Milken Institute State Technology and Science index ranked Ohio 29th overall, below neighboring states Indiana, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The institute ranked Ohio 20th in research and development.

The Ewing Marion-Kauffman Foundation 2010 State New Economy Index ranked Ohio 25th.

The task force made eight recommendations to improve the commercialization of public universities and the research they conduct.

These recommendations include removing barriers, creating partnerships, increasing cooperation between public institutions and private industries, fostering entrepreneurial growth in science and research fi elds, and providing incentives to make commercialization a priority of university leadership.

The University of Cincinnati’s Board of Trustees will meet with the Presidential Search Committee Monday.

The committee could recommend Interim President Santa Ono be appointed to the position, or they could recommend a continuation of the search process, said Fran Barrett, chairman of the board.

The board could make a decision either way regardless of the committee’s recommendation.

Currently, Ono is the only candidate who has been seriously considered or brought in for questioning by the search committee, Barrett said.

The search committee spent the previous week interviewing Ono, specifi cally asking questions regarding his vision for the university’s future and means of reaching that vision.

The search committee has expanded to 28 members, ranging from university and city positions. University rule 3361:10-6-01(A) requires a search committee of at least 13 members.

“I expanded the committee in order to get input from all sectors of the university community,” Barrett said. “We wanted to make sure we heard everybody and we wanted to make sure everybody was represented and involved.”

The search committee includes fi ve trustees, two faculty representatives, fi ve student representatives, four deans, two UC foundation members, four community leaders,

two representatives from the Ohio Board of Regents, one representative from the UC Alumni Association, three representatives from UCATS and past board chair Sandy Heimann.

Barrett — who was on the search committee after Nancy Zimpher resigned — said this search process has been totally different and there wasn’t as much urgency during the last search for a president.

“Under the current circumstances I was concerned about such a lengthy process, and this time it would be more benefi cial to have more people involved for input,” Barrett said.

Members of the UC community have expressed a strong desire to keep Ono, Barrett said.

“There was a lot of support for Santa Ono, a lot of people said he was well qualifi ed, he was sought by other universities and we shouldn’t run the risk of losing such a great person,” Barrett said.

Others members of the community expressed desire for a more extensive search.

“There were other people who felt that we should look a broad base of candidates,” Barrett said.

The meeting takes place at 4:30 p.m. at the Russell C. Myers Alumni Center, and is open to the public.

NEWSRECORD.ORG2 LOCAL NEWSCouncil approves two-way traffic ordinanceben goldschmidt | chief reporter

Cincinnati City Council unanimously passed two ordinances to convert sections of McMillan Street and William Howard Taft Road to allow two-way traffic Thursday.

The changes on both streets will stretch through the Walnut Hills business district, between May Street and Victory Parkway, according to the city ordinances.

Conversion of Taft into a two-way road is planned for later this week, according to signs posted along Taft Road, and McMillan Street was converted Saturday.

These changes have been in the works for years, and studies explaining potential benefits have been presented to and reviewed by City Council, as well as a transportation and infrastructure committee, said Councilmember Laure Quinlivan.

“It used to be two-way back in the day, and when they changed it to one-way it was mostly to accommodate as much traffic as possible, but that killed the business district for the neighborhood,” Quinlivan said.

The reason for the switch back to two-way traffic, Quinlivan said, is to spur growth for local businesses by encouraging people to stop and shop.

“Returning the street to two-way allows people — first of all it slows cars down — and it allows for more parking, and people actually visiting the business district instead of speeding through it from one point to another,” Quinlivan said.

City council held a special meeting to pass these ordinances to legally block off the streets for the weekend, said Ben Frech, chief of staff for Councilmember P.G. Sittenfeld.

“They were going to do it at a livable communities meeting before, but that got cancelled,” Frech said. “They basically had to call in a special session to get this through council.”

The ordinances had to be approved by a committee before being brought to city council, according to the city charter. The livable communities committee approved these ordinances 30 minutes before city council passed them, Frech said.

Free speech in dorms questioned dAni kokochAk | Staff reporter

Fears that political speech in dorms is being censored have led some Ohio universities to revise or clarify free-speech policies.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) criticized Ohio University after a student was told to remove a poster that was critical of the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees from the door of her dorm room.

The university changed its policies after FIRE sent a letter to OU President Roderick McDavis.

“Ohio University dorms are no longer censoring students’ political speech,” according to a statement released by FIRE. “FIRE’s letter pointed out that doors in OU residence halls are commonly used as venues for individual student expression, and that protected expression may not be prohibited merely because of its political content.”

At the University of Cincinnati, residence hall policy does not include regulations that censor students’ political speech in dorms.

Policies addressing time, place and manner of expression do apply, said Dawn Wilson, director of resident education and development at UC.

Students are free to put up political opinion posters on the door of their own room or suite at any time, with the consent of all occupants, Wilson said. But a student cannot put an opinion poster up in public areas within a residence hall.

Personal postings of any kind are not permitted on the bulletin boards or walls of residence halls, partisan in nature or otherwise, he said.

“This is not to control student’s thoughts or right to speak, but to control the amount of posting in public areas throughout a residence hall,” Wilson said.

Public space in residence halls is reserved for flyers promoting university-sanctioned information and events, Wilson said.

UC’s HomePages Handbook states, “Resident education and development has established posting policies for concerns about appearance and damages. Signs posted in any hall’s common public or semi-public areas must have the approval of the Resident Coordinator and be marked with approval.”

“An individual person can put on a lapel button favoring a given candidate and walk around freely. Likewise, a person can stand in the floor lounge and repeat aloud, ‘I love blank candidate. Vote for blank!’— until they violate quiet or courtesy hours, and then the RA [Resident Advisor] should confront that violation,” Wilson said.

FIRE is working to reduce confusion on college campuses concerning a student’s right to express their views on political matters, said Samantha Harris, director of speech code and research at FIRE.

“More universities need to be clear and content neutral with policy regulations for students posting their personal or political views in residence halls,” Harris said.

BREAkING ‘THE CyCLE’tYleR bell | Staff reporter

The Drop Inn Center hosted a community health forum Friday in Rookwood Commons to spread awareness about mental illness in the homeless community.

Several speakers stressed the purpose of the forum was not to provide answers, rather further the discussion.

“Those who are attending might be under the impression that we have the answers to the problems associated with mental illness, mental health and our clients and residents in the city of Cincinnati,” said Nancy Mayo, a third-year social work student who volunteers at the Drop Inn Center.

“Obviously there’s no solutions that’ll come out of it right at this minute, but at least we’re starting the conversation,” said Arlene Nolan.

One of the biggest problems the Drop Inn

Center faces is a lack of resources to deal with a mentally ill person’s most basic mental health needs, Nolan said, director of the Drop Inn Center.

More than 55 percent of the population the Drop Inn Center serves suffers from some form of mental illness.

Much of the event focused on fixing the cycle of relapse that plagues many mentally ill and homeless people in Cincinnati.

“They go off their medication, they stop taking it, then eventually they lose their housing,” said Spencer Troxell, shelter manager at the Drop Inn Center. “They get arrested for some random thing. They get out of the system. They go to the shelter. Then maybe they’ll end up in a hospital for suicidal ideation or something like that and the cycle begins again.”

Homeless people with severe mental health issues such as schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder don’t have access to the fiscal

and social support systems needed to help them cope with their illness, which creates a burden on society improved litigation can help, Troxell said.

The meeting brought a multitude of voices to the conversation by bringing health care officials, lawyers, patients and the police together to discuss mental health issues.

“I think a lot of times people are confused where to go, and especially when they’re dealing with the stress of a mentally ill family member, they feel overwhelmed by what they should do,” said Valerie Zummo, a panel member and domestic relations magistrate for Cincinnati.

Using the law to get help for a loved one can be daunting, and shedding light on the process is imperative, Zummo said.

“My goal is to streamline and explain judicial procedures for getting help for mentally ill people,” he said.

As the fight over the future of the Anna Louise Inn re-enters the appeals process, members from local Occupy groups gathered outside the Western and Southern Financial building to protest the company’s actions Monday afternoon.

A group of 40 men and women from Occupy Cincinnati, Occupy the Hood, and Occupy Works and Wages chanted, “Hey John Barrett, we shall not be moved.”

“Our purpose is to let John Barrett know that if he continues to shake his fist in the faces of Cincinnatians, that we will eventually run Western and Southern over with public opinion,” said Josh Spring, executive director of the Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless.

Western and Southern’s CEO, John Barrett, maintains its proposal will benefit residents of the Inn and taxpayers in the long run.

“We think there’s a better solution to the one being considered,” said Michael Laatsch, vice president of public relations for Western and Southern.

Western and Southern wants to buy the property and remodel the building to be a hotel.

“The taxpayers get the benefit of spending less and they get the benefit of a new building and a $3-million infusion of cash and the city gets the benefit of an economic platform to redevelop Lytle Park and create new jobs and new tax revenue,” Laatsch said.

The Anna Louise Inn has been in operation since 1909 and aims to provide affordable housing to low-income women with few other options.

The Anna Louise Inn could benefit from better access to transportation, health care and jobs if it was moved to an alternate location, Laatsch said.

“At an alternative location, taxpayers would pay 40 percent less for this project than they’re currently slated to pay,” Laatsch said.

Steve MacConnell, chief executive officer of Cincinnati Union Bethel — the organization that runs the Anna Louise Inn — believes Western and Southern has less noble goals in mind.

“We’ve been through the zoning process twice, and we won at the zoning board of appeals unanimously,” MacConnell said. “They’re trying to push us out, quite frankly, because of discriminatory reasons. They said they don’t want ‘our kind’ in the neighborhood. I feel it’s housing discrimination.”

Western and Southern denies any discriminatory intentions behind the purchasing of the shelter.

“That’s how it’s being characterized by our opponents,” Laatsch said. “We don’t think that’s true.”

The issue of zoning is the most important thing, Laatsch said.“Judge Nadel has ruled that the Anna Louise Inn is a homeless

shelter and doesn’t conform to the zoning laws of Lytle Park,” Laatsch said. “That was our contention.”

“Zoning laws are there for a reason,” Laatsch said. “People make investments in their property relying on the fact that the zoning laws are going to protect that investment. It’s protecting property owner rights from having a homeless shelter and a prostitution recovery center in an area it’s not zoned for.”

Sean Suder, council on land use and zoning for the City Solicitor, was unavailable for comment because the case is up for appeal. The appeal will be heard Oct. 30.

“Higher education leadership must prioritize commercialization,” Gupta said.

Gupta said he hopes to have 60 to 70 percent of these recommendations in effect by July 2013, a goal he maintains is reasonable.

“Everyone in the leadership of the state of Ohio is dedicated to solving this problem,” Gupta said.

Jim Petro, Board of Regents chancellor, agreed with Gupta.

“All we’re trying to do is establish a framework and this

won’t add that much to [Ohio’s] funding stream,” Petro said. At the University of Cincinnati, further commercialization

of research is a goal, said Interim President Santa Ono. “We are fully committed to doing everything we can to

be a full and contributing partner in this effort,” Ono said. UC leadership specifically asked for Gupta and Petro to

give their presentation to UC.The university’s partnership with General Electric

Aviation — a deal that awarded UC $45 million in research funding — is both an example of UC’s commitment to

commercialization and a model for future collaboration, Ono said.

“It’s taking that and replicating it across different scientific platforms,” Ono said. Increasing commercialization is key to the future prosperity of Cincinnati and the state, he said.

“If we want our region and our state economy to thrive we need to make sure that we support innovation and entrepreneurs and we are committed to doing so as a partner with the city the state and the nation,” Ono said.

DANI KOKOCHAK | SENIOR REPORTER

The second-annual Battle for the Bat brought University of Cincinnati students and faculty together Friday for a game of softball.

The two teams squared off at Marge Schott Stadium in efforts to win a prized Louisville slugger. Interim President Santa Ono brought the event to the university last year from Emory University, where he served as vice provost for academic initiatives.

“Faculty and student interaction is fun. Last year the students beat us 16-1, but hopefully this year we will do better,” Ono said.

Students were fi rst to bat, and scored four runs before head baseball coach Brian Cleary caught a fl y ball for the third out.

“This is a great bonding experience for students and faculty and shows how united UC is as a university,” said Sabrina Johnson, a fourth-year criminal justice major.

Ono batted fi rst for the faculty and also scored its fi rst run as well. At the end of the third inning, the students still led by three runs.

“This is a good way for the administration to show that the focus is on the students and that they are here for us, even though their dignity is on the line,” said Luci Simon, a third-year classical civilizations major.

Signifi cantly more faculty members showed up for the game than students — and that support proved benefi cial. By the end of the fourth inning, the faculty had pulled ahead 6-4.

“I’m happy the faculty is actually scoring this year; it’s nice to have more than one run in a game,” said Thomas Aicher, a sports administration professor.

The students went back ahead in the seventh inning and it seemed like everyone enjoyed the friendly competition.

“I think students should see this side of faculty in a relaxed setting outside of the classroom,” said Phil Dinovo, fi fth-year marketing student. “It is fun to come out here and talk a little smack with your professors,”

By the ninth inning, the game was tied 9-9. Rally caps were on and the competitiveness increased exponentially.

“Comradery between students and professors is not something you see every day,” said Anita Todd, associate professor in professional practice.

At the top of the 12th inning, the students scored three runs. The faculty did not go down without a fi ght, but the students won the game with a fi nal score of 12-9.

“The opportunity to embarrass our professors once a year is nice because they get to embarrass us each year around midterm and fi nals,” said Drew Rhoad, fourth-year communication major.

Two University of Cincinnati students are building their way to success in the nonprofi t community.

With the help of donors and volunteers, third-year, grad school architecture students Mike Pasquale, 25, and Nate Substanley, 26, are leading the redesign and renovation of a 1,400-square-foot Westwood home, pushing for March 2013 completion.

Pasquale and Substanley raised $269 Saturday on McMicken Commons for their thesis project, Smarter Single Family.

Owned by Habitat for Humanity, an international nonprofi t housing ministry, the two bedroom, one bathroom Westwood home will be remodeled to have three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a 227-percent increase in energy effi ciency.

When Habitat for Humanity agreed to allow Pasquale and Substanley to become site leaders for the renovation, the nonprofi t found a family who would benefi t from the home’s redevelopment.

“The goal is to house a family and sort of show that there’s a valuable place for architects in the remodeling industry,” Pasquale said. “[The house will] be more valuable for the family when they pay off their mortgage; and it’s also going to work better for them because they need three bedrooms.”

Chickela Lawrence, 38, Christopher Lawrence, 33, Javon Lawrence, 12, and Tamiaa Hudson, 15, will move into the house once it is completed.

“Habitat [for Humanity] take[s] families that are hardworking, just haven’t broken the barrier into being able to get a home of their own, and they give them a mortgage that they can afford,” Substanley said. “Once you have a home, it’s easier to get loans. You can get the car you couldn’t afford. You can add on to an existing place you have. You have more collateral.”

The family feels blessed to have the students leading the project.“I love the creation, the blueprint of it and how they’re going to

design the house,” Christopher Lawrence said. “For them to turn it what they’re going to turn it into — it’s lovely.”

Habitat for Humanity’s blanket fi gure for remodeling houses is $85,000, but through the help of donors, Pasquale and Substanley hope to complete the project for $65,000.

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fi ction, something Ben Affl eck demonstrates in the exciting political thriller “Argo.”

Tension between Iran and the United States was high in the winter of 1979 when Iranian revolutionaries stormed the U.S. embassy and took more than 50 hostages. Six escaped to fi nd refuge in the Canadian Ambassador’s home.

But the refugees couldn’t remain there for long because the revolutionaries would eventually discover they were missing people. The mission to get the escapees out of the country al ive is left to CIA exfi ltration specialist Tony Mendez (Ben Affl eck).

The escape plan? Pose the six escapees as a Canadian fi lm crew scouting Iranian locations for a fake science fi ction fi lm.

This might sound like a bad idea, but in a time when any American found in the country is publicly executed, this was the best idea the CIA could come up with.

“Argo” tests the limits of human courage. Mendez asks these strangers to trust him with their lives while the whole country watches.

Beautifully written and incredibly gripping, “Argo” is a political thriller with a dark wit from an all-star cast that eases the considerable tension of the life-threatening situation the fi lm presents.

Affl eck proved himself a powerhouse actor with “Good Will Hunting,” but his quirkier side can be seen in movies such as “Dazed and Confused” and “Dogma.” Affl eck’s portrayal of Mendez perfectly blends his serious side with a subtle, confi dent humor.

Alongside Affl eck is John Goodman, who plays a famous Hollywood makeup artist bestowed the highest civilian honor for his involvement with the mission.

Goodman uses his quirky charisma to spruce up the occasionally melancholic plot. As does Alan Arkin (“Little Miss Sunshine”), who plays Lester Siegel — an old, grumpy man essential to the movie’s comic relief.

Other big names in the cast include Bryan Cranston (Walter White on “Breaking Bad”), Kyle Chandler (“Super 8,” “King Kong”) and Victor Garber (“Milk,” “Legally Blonde”). All play either Canadian or American politicians directly involved in the hostage crisis.

Ben Affl eck serves as director, producer and star. With the holy trifecta intact, Affl eck delivers one of the — if not the — best movies of the year.

Student groups at the University of Cincinnati are working to strengthen leadership among fi rst and second-year female students.

Sigma Phi, Quest, the Lambda Society, Student Government and the Women’s Center hosted the fourth annual Women’s Connect Conference Saturday at Stratford Heights Pavilion.

Through guest speakers, breakout sessions and small group mentoring sessions, the organizations connected younger women with more experienced women holding leadership positions.

This year’s conference, planned by Sigma Phi, featured guest speaker Nikki Taylor, a history professor at the university, who spoke about the importance of women getting involved on campus.

“It’s important for women to be involved because, as people who have been historically, traditionally kept out of leadership positions, I think we bring a certain distinctive voice and energy and passion and humanity to our organizations,” Taylor said.

Morgan Schröder, president of Sigma Phi,

encouraged students to get involved early during their years at the university.

“We feel that it’s really important to get students involved early on, because then they can fi nd what they’re passionate about early on, [giving] them a chance to really develop in their future years at UC,” Schröder said.

Maesa Idries, the fi rst female student body vice president the university has had in 10 years, said it is important for women to see other women in leadership positions.

“A lot of times, what we think we can do is based on who we see in what we want to do,” Idries said. “To be successful in your career, you have to have experiences that set you apart and that make you different and special. You should get involved so that you can gather experiences, you can learn how to lead and inspire, and ultimately help yourself be successful in whatever it is you want to do.”

‘Lighting night’ in support of cancer survivors

KATIE GRIFFITH | SENIOR REPORTER

Latinos En Acción (LEA), a student-run organization for Latino students at the University of Cincinnati, celebrated Hispanic Heritage month with a variety of events, but found a more interactive way to embrace culture Thursday evening.

LEA teamed up with members of Cultural Connections, an intercultural student organization, for a soccer game at Gettler Stadium to celebrate Americans with Hispanic ancestors, culture and history.

“A lot of our members — being Hispanic — they do love soccer, or in this case, el fútbol,” said Jason Sintic, fi fth-year Spanish major and president of LEA.

The game offered a good opportunity to get to know club members outside of mee tings and also embrace Hispanic culture at the same time, he said.

Derrick Garcia, a fi rst-year mechanical engineering technology student, joined LEA after receiving an email advertisement for the soccer game. He said he has been trying to get in touch with his Puerto Rican roots and LEA was the perfect way to do it. The group has served as a place to share mutual feelings about being Hispanic and the soccer game only enhanced their sense of pride, he said.

Griscelda Ramirez-Romero, a fi rst-year psychology student, said she uses her sense of pride as motivation to become a better person and Hispanic Heritage month has been especially helpful in that process. For her, the month represents “the vivaciousness of our culture coming alive.”

LEA is going to end Hispanic Heritage month with a salsa dance class held in Tangeman University Center’s Great Hall Monday at 6 p.m.

Red, gold and white balloons illuminated approximately 5,000 people walking along the Purple People Bridge to raise money for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma Thursday.

Blood cancer patients, survivors and supporters gathered at Sawyer Point Park for the greater Cincinnati area’s chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s annual Light the Night Walk.

“The walkers who attend these walks raise funds in support of or in memory of cancer patients,” said Tiffany Hoover, campaign manager for Light the Night. “They raise funds that will be dedicated to go toward our mission, including research and patient services.”

Light the Night raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, a health agency dedicated to curing leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma.

With 5,000 people in attendance, the walk probably hit its goal this year of $330,000, Hoover said, but donations have

not yet been tallied. “It’s a beautiful evening with the

balloons, and I think it’s very meaningful for survivors and their families,” Hoover said.

“[The event] not only raises awareness and money, but it’s a tremendously unifying event,” said Lohman, 52, a leukemia survivor from Wyoming, Ohio. “You get to see all your friends and people that are here to support you and it gives you a tremendous

lift.”Lohman walked

with “Team Lohman,” a group of family and friends that supported him throughout his treatment after his diagnosis almost a year ago. The team wore shirts and carried signs with the team name printed on them.

“I think [Light the Night] is a fantastic event,” said James Lash, a fourth-year operations management major walking with Team Lohman.

“One of my friends in elementary school was diagnosed with leukemia, and I grew up all through high school with him,” Lash said.

The event is a great way to garner support for individuals fi ghting health battles.

“It’s raising a lot of awareness and it brings more people out to support one another,” said Kelsey Smith, a fi fth-year operations management major walking with Team Lohman. “It’s always good to see family and friends supporting survivors

and current victims.”“My nephew has leukemia, he was

diagnosed two years ago,” said Lisa McClinton, a fi rst time Light the Night volunteer from Florence, Ky. “And it’s great to see all the families and supporters.”

It [was] a beautiful evening with the balloons,

and I think it’s very meaningful for survivors

and their families.—TIFFANY HOOVER

The University of Cincinnati volleyball team improved its Big East conference record to 6-2 over the weekend, with victories over the University of Connecticut and St. Johns University.

UC defeated UConn 3-2 (25-21, 25-17, 23-25, 22-25, 15-8) Friday, in Storrs, Conn., marking the Bearcats’ third-straight win.

Junior Emily MacIntyre recorded 36 digs in the match and Senior Jordanne Scott paced the Bearcats with 12 digs of her own to go along with 19 kills — her third double-double of the season.

Cincinnati held on to take the fi rst set of the match, 25-21, after jumping out to an early 12-5 lead thanks to four straight kills from Scott.

The Huskies lead 7-6 in the second set, but three service aces from UC senior Becca Refenes sparked an eight-point run, giving the Bearcats a 14-7 lead. Scott’s 12th kill of the match closed out the second set for UC, 25-17.

UConn narrowly avoided the sweep,

winning a highly competitive third set, 25-23. The two squads tied 11 times throughout the set, before UConn was able to edge ahead at the end of the set.

UConn lead by as many as eight points in the fourth set, but UC charged back to tie the set at 22-22. UConn rattled off the fi nal three points of the set to earn the 25-22 victory and extend the math to a deciding fi fth set.

Refenes sparked UC with three straight kills to help the Bearcats take a 9-6 lead. After extending its lead to 11-8, the Bearcats recorded the fi nal four points of the match to wrap up the fi nal set, 15-8.

UC extended its season-high winning streak to four matches Sunday, defeating St. Johns in Queens, N.Y.

Cincinnati dominated the Red Storm in nearly every statistical aspect of the game, edging St. Johns in kills (58-43), blocks (11-7), assists (53-39) and digs (64-52).

Scott paced UC once again, with 22 kills and 13 digs for her fourth double-double of the season and second in as many matches. Senior Rachel Rohlfs recorded a match-high

42 assists. UC easily claimed the fi rst set, 25-14, after

leading by as many as 13 points. The second set remained fairly close throughout and St. Johns lead by only one point at 20-19, after a four-point UC run. The Red Storm scored the fi nal fi ve points of the set, evening the match 1-1.

The Bearcats utilized an early run to take a nine point lead in the onset of the third set, and hung on to take the set, 25-19.

The Bearcats won the fourth and fi nal set, despite falling behind 8-5.

UC rattled off three-straight points after taking a timeout and never looked back after taking a 15-13 lead. Senior Emily Hayden’s 13th kill of the match secured UC’s 25-21 victory.

“We played good volleyball [Sunday]” Alvey Said. “We are playing our system for longer periods of time and we got better each set. Late in sets three and four we made some good defensive plays that helped us pick up one or two points.”

UC will be back in action Friday, at Marquette University, the current Big East Conference leaders.

The University of Cincinnati football team used a second half burst from its offense to defeat the Fordham University Rams 49-17 Saturday.

26,317 fans at Nippert Stadium watched UC score a touchdown on each of its possessions in the second half, after scoring just one offensive touchdown in the entire fi rst half.

Fordham’s offense started the game strongly and appeared to be on the way to an early lead. After an 11-play drive reached the UC 17-yard line, UC senior defensive end Dan Giordano forced Fordham quarterback Ryan Higgins to fumble and junior defensive back Deven Drane scooped up the loose ball and carried it 76 yards for the fi rst score of the game.

The Rams continued to move the ball on the ensuing drive, advancing to the UC 28-yard line before settling for a 43-yard fi eld goal from Patrick Murray. UC lead 7-3 with 4 minutes and 43 seconds remaining in the fi rst quarter.

After waiting nearly the entire quarter to take the fi eld, Munchie Legaux and the Cincinnati offense needed only three plays to score. Legaux connected with senior tight end Travis Kelce in the left fl at and Kelce rumbled 77-yards to give UC a 14-3 advantage.

The reception was the longest of Kelce’s career, as well as the longest play of the season for UC so far.

The second quarter began much like the fi rst, with Fordham advancing deep into UC territory before Higgins’ second fumble of the night derailed the drive. The senior quarterback lost nine yards on the fumble and Murray couldn’t convert the 48-yard fi eld goal attempt that followed.

UC took over with more than nine minutes remaining in the half and drove to the Fordam 29-yard line before stalling out. Sophomore kicker Tony Milliano’s 46-yard fi eld goal attempt struck the left upright and the score remained 14-3.

Fordham added three more points before the half on a 55-yard Murray fi eld goal. UC headed to halftime with a 14-6 lead, after being out-possessed by nearly 15 minutes.

Despite UC’s questionable fi rst half performance, UC head coach Butch Jones remained confi dent his team could turn things around in the third quarter, said Cincinnati senior receiver Danny Milligan, whose second half performance sparked UC’s turnaround.

“Coach Jones came in, very well spoken, very calm,” Milligan said. “I think he had a lot of faith in us as seniors and as the team and he kind of let the seniors take over and make our adjustments.”

Legaux — who completed only one of his last eight pass attempts in the fi rst half — came out fi ring in the second half, completing fi ve straight passes before fi nishing off the opening drive with an 8-yard touchdown run. UC lead 21-6 with 10 minutes and 55 seconds remaining in the third quarter, following Miliano’s successful extra point.

Following a quick three-and-out by the Fordham offense, UC increased its lead to 28-6 four minutes later. Sophomore running back Ralph David Abernathy IV avoided a tackle in the backfi eld and outran the rest of the defense on his way to a 36-yard touchdown run.

Another three-and-out for Fordham and a 42-yard punt return by UC senior wide receiver Danny Milligan set up the Bearcat’s third touchdown of the quarter. Junior Jordan Luallen came in to run UC’s wildcat package inside the 10-yard line and easily scored from one yard out for his fi rst touchdown of the

season.Fordham answered with a 68-yard scoring

drive of its own. Higgins connected with senior receiver Brian Wetzel over the middle on a 12-yard scoring strike with 1 minute and 28 seconds remaining in the quarter, reducing UC’s lead to 35-14.

The Bearcats answered by making it four touchdowns in four drives on the following possession. Legaux evaded the Fordham pass rush and threw an impressive 26-yard touchdown strike to Milligan.

The score was the second of Milligan’s career, and his second in as many weeks.

Fordham added another fi eld goal on its next drive, which was played against the majority of UC’s second-string defense, to drop UC’s lead to 42-17.

UC senior quarterback Brandon Kay notched the fi nal score of the game with 1 minute and 46 seconds remaining, edging into the end zone from one yard out for the fi rst touchdown of his career.

After a disappointing fi rst half, UC scored on every possession of the second half to earn the victory by a fi nal score of 49-17.

“The thing I liked about the second half was the way that our kids came out and competed. It’s hard to score on every possession and our players did that,” Jones said. “We got off the fi eld defensively [and] we got some valuable players [repetitions].

Kelce and Milligan fi nished with career highs in receiving yards with 101 and 81 yards respectively and Abernathy notched 108 all-purpose yards on only 10 touches of the ball.

Legaux — who looked like a completely different quarterback in the second half — fi nished the game with 262 yards to go along with a pair of touchdowns.

UC will take the fi eld again Saturday, Oct. 20 against the University of Toledo.

ThThe University of Cincinnati women’s soccer team continued Big East conference play this weekend, falling to Seton Hall University and Rutgers University.

The Bearcats lost 3-1 to the Seton Hall Pirates Friday night at Owen T. Carroll Field in South Orange, N.J.

The match remained scoreless through the fi rst half, but the Bearcats came out attacking in the second half. Freshman forward Callie Taylor scored her fi rst career goal to give UC a 1-0 advantage in the fi rst minute of the second half.

Taylor received a pass from senior forward Evi Ranson and slotted a shot into the left side of the goal.

Seton Hall evened the score in the 54th minute when junior midfi elder Ashley Clarke scored from 20 yards out.

The Pirates broke the tie shortly after when Stephanie Somas placed a shot past UC goalkeeper Kristina Utley.

The Pirates outshot the Bearcats 22-11 in the match, after only outshooting UC by 6-5 at the half. Utley ended the match with seven saves.

The Bearcats then took on the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers Sunday afternoon at Yurcak Field in Piscataway, N.J. The Bearcats lost the match 5-1.

Cincinnati allowed all fi ve Rutgers goals in the fi rst 50 minutes of the match, with four coming in the fi rst half.

Canadian national team member and junior forward Jonelle Filigno led the Scarlet Knights’ offensive attack, scoring two goals.

Filigno scored her 13th goal of the season in the 14th minute of the matched — assisted by redshirt senior forward April Price — to give Rutgers a 1-0 advantage.

Rutgers’ lead would extend to 2-0 in the 25th minute when senior forward Tricia Dipaolo blasted a shot from 23 yards out off a corner kick from freshman forward Rachel Cole.

Rutgers next three goals would come from Filigno, Cole and senior midfi elder Maura McLaughlin.

The Bearcats did manage to hold the Scarlet Knights scoreless for the fi nal 40 minutes of the half.

With the two losses, UC dropped to 4-12-1 overall and 1-9 in Big East conference play.

UC will be back in action in Louisville, Ky. where it will take on the Louisville University Cardinals Friday, Oct. 19, at 7 p.m.

For as long as there have been sports, there have been outrageous fans. Cheering and heckling seem as much a part of an athletic event as the athletics themselves, but some fans take it too far.

Cheering player injuries, making malicious threats and endangering players, offi cials or spectators is not supporting your team — it goes a step above extreme-fandom to classless idiocy.

While this is not a new phenomenon, modern fans seem to be taking out their frustrations in more and more violent and tasteless ways.

In last Monday night’s matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel was taken out of the game with a head injury.

Cassel was subject to simultaneous violent hits from Baltimore defenders Haloti Ngata and Pernell McPhee, and required assistance from Chiefs trainers before being helped off the fi eld. Cassel exited the fi eld to cheers from the home crowd, not respectful applause for an injured athlete — blatant cheers for his injury.

Cassel had thrown two interceptions during the game, and had a passer rating of 38.1 when he suffered a concussion. Fans had been visibly and audibly frustrated with Cassel’s performance throughout the game, their chastising no more evident than when he left the fi eld with what would later be determined a concussion.

Sadly, this is not an isolated incident, it seems every time I turn on Sportscenter these days there’s a new example of fan insanity.

In the National League Wildcard game between the Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals, a controversial infi eld fl y rule was called in the eighth inning, much to Braves nation’s dismay. Fans in the stadium expressed their disgust by launching beer cans, bottles and any trash they had onto the fi eld towards offi cial. Play had to be stopped to clean the fi eld of all the debris before play could resume.

Perhaps the most haunting example of this behavior is the disturbing event that followed a Los Angeles Dodgers game against the San Francisco Giants in April 2011.

Two men in Dodgers gear attacked a Giants fan in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium after the game. The victim, later identifi ed as Bryan Stow, was knocked to the ground from behind, beaten and kicked repeatedly and would have to be rushed to the hospital. Stow, in a coma, had to have a portion of his skull removed due to brain swelling.

The reasoning for the unfathomable attack: Stow supported the wrong team.

The attackers actions did nothing to help their team and the incident gave the entire Dodgers organization a black eye.

That’s what many of these “fanatics” don’t understand; their actions don’t help their team in any way. Often times fans acting badly are the cause for their favorite teams having bad reputations, just look at Philadelphia.

Dressing in your teams’ colors and cheering them on is what being a fan is about. You can wish them well, hope they win, fi nd camaraderie with fellow fans in the stands, and scream your heart out when your team scores — that’s the fun of being a sports fan.

I am a die-hard sports fan, and I defi nitely get into games — a bit too much at times. But there is cheering for your team, and there’s using your team as an excuse to act vulgar.

Wearing your team’s colors and cursing at everyone in sight isn’t supporting your team, in fact it is often the opposite. Representing your team should be classy, if you love your team so much you should want to represent them in the best way possible.

So as football season gears up, and with basketball just on the horizon, be passionate. Have a blast supporting your teams, count the minutes until kick-off and when that time comes, stay classy Cincinnati.
