Obama gives speech at Lorain County Community College on current economic

crisis, future job outlookBy Andy OurielSenior Reporter

ELYRIA, Ohio — President Barack Obama is more com-mitted than ever to addressing the economic crisis plagu-ing the nation.

“I’m trying to solve the problems that folks here in Ohio and across the country face every day and I’m not going to walk away just because it’s hard,” Obama said.

Obama, who spoke during a town-hall meeting at Lorain County Community College on Friday, offered solutions to improve a decimated Ohio economy.

Obama cited several ways for Ohio and the country to reignite the economy, including increasing exported goods while limiting imports from foreign countries, con-vincing banks to offer loans to small businesses, cutting unnecessary federal government staff and making higher education affordable.

The University ended a two-year plus tuition freeze this semester. And while Obama didn’t talk specifically about college employment during his speech, the president said education will help younger generations secure jobs in the future.

Obama said investing in local businesses and industries would also help curb the recession.

VICTORY: BG women’s basketball coach Curt Miller celebrates the 100th MAC win of his career with an 83-71 win over Eastern Michigan.

By Sean ShapiroSports Editor

Curt Miller joined his team along the sideline of the court in Anderson Arena for the singing of BG’s alma mater.

In his ninth season at the helm of the women’s basketball team, Miller has partaken in the tradi-tion countless times before; how-ever, Saturday was different.

The coach had just earned his 100th career Mid-American Conference victory, with an 83-71 win over MAC West leader Eastern Michigan, and he did it on alumni day with many of his former play-ers holding up signs that simply said “100 MAC Wins” for the final two minutes of play.

Miller, in his ninth season with BG, came to the Falcons in 2001 with a goal of helping the program reach the MAC Championship by his fifth season. Miller surpassed even his own expectations, win-ning the first of five straight MAC titles in his fourth season, and even on his own milestone night the coach couldn’t take all the credit.

“It’s a credit to players and my assistant coaches, who have helped bring these great play-ers to the program,” Miller said.

“It’s not just my 100th win. It’s my staff’s 100th win, because they’ve been here the whole time with me.”

While Miller was humble after his win, his Eastern Michigan coaching counterpart AnnMarie Gilbert had the highest praise for the Falcon coach.

“Curt has been one of the best in the business,” Gilbert said. “He’s just one of the best at adjusting during the game, and taking you out of what you’re trying to do. It’s always difficult playing here and he’s a very, very talented coach who I hope goes to the next level very soon.”

Miller’s ability to adjust to an opponent’s game plan was on display in BG’s win as they took

Eastern Michigan out of their usual game plan, forcing them to switch their strategy around for the first time this season.

BG never trailed in the game, as Lauren Prochaska hit a 3-pointer just four seconds into the game and a well balanced effort from the whole Falcon roster turned what was supposed to be closely contested game between the MAC’s top two teams.

While Prochaska and Tracy Pontius lead the Falcons in scor-ing with 14 and 16 points respec-tively, the efforts of Jennifer Uhl and Kelly Zuercher off of the bench helped spark the outcome.

Uhl posted a double-double, scoring 12 points and grabbing 11 rebounds while Zuercher had 10 points on a 5-for-8 shooting effort.

“Sometimes Lo [Prochaska] and Tracy get double-teamed so much and have pressure to be the big scorers, that sometimes it opens it up for us,” Uhl said. “We need to have a balanced inside-out-side, and sometimes I think when they’re covering us it opens them up for more.”

For the second straight game the Falcons face off with one of the MAC’s leading scorers. Earlier in the week they held Miami’s Courtney Osborn to 8 points, against the Eagles they had to worry about containing Tavelyn James who was averag-ing 21.3 points per game entering the contest.

While James did score a game high of 22 points, it did take her 17 shots to do so and many of those points came late when BG had already inserted most of their bench.

“One of our team goals is no player scores over 20 points,” Uhl said. “She’s obviously a very fast player, she still got it done. She and Cassie [Schrock] both had great games, as long as we can contain them the best they can.”

BG continues their three-game home stand on Jan. 27, when they host Western Michigan at 7 p.m. in Anderson Arena.

This year the University will celebrate 100 years 1 million times over.

As part of the University Centennial Celebration, stu-dents, faculty, staff and alumni have been challenged to com-memorate the University’s anni-versary by completing 1 million hours of service this year.

The Centennial Celebration committee co-chair Larry Weiss said 1 million hours of service is a way for everyone tied to the University to get

involved in the celebration.“There are lots of things we

could have done, we could have had a big extravaganza and there are still things like that coming up,” he said. “But we wanted to leave something more meaningful … something that

left a mark on the University for years to come.”

Weiss said because more than just students are asked to get involved, many hours of service will be done by alumni.

“It’s Bowling Green nationwide … people all over the country doing service in the name of Bowling Green State University,” Weiss said.

Weiss said he wants partici-pants to find a place to serve or continue to serve with organiza-tions they’ve already been work-

“... we wanted to leave something more

meaningful...something that left a mark ...”

The BASF Corporation, which has an automobile plant located in Elyria, received $25 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The plant will produce “car batteries of the future,” Obama said.

Continuing to invest in local businesses will be a major way the United States can prosper, the president said.

“That’s what we’re going to keep on doing for the rest of 2010 and 2011 and 2012, until we’ve got this country working again,” Obama said.

Before his speech at LCCC, Obama visited EMC Precision Machining and Smitty’s Place, a popular restaurant in Elyria.

One person Obama talked with was Elyrian native and electrician Jeff King, the father of University senior Callie King. The two discussed economics and King’s involvement in the stimulus-funded program to improve the city’s transporta-tion system.

“I happened to be here for lunch

and President Barack Obama was there and it was kind of cool,” King said.

King makes the special sauce for the popular Smitty Burger. Obama’s burger was topped with lettuce, onions and mustard, but he held off on the special sauce. King said his feelings weren’t hurt at all.

With a full stomach, Obama answered questions following his speech.

One question came from Jerome Lowery, a 29-year-old who has never been employed because of his criminal record from his younger days.

Lowery said it is nearly impos-sible for a felon to be hired. Obama sympathizes with employers hesitating to hire someone with a criminal record, but also believes this country is great because it provides people with “second chances.”

His administration recently passed the Second Chance Act, a program that helps fund pro-grams geared toward ex-felons.

“I’m glad that he did respond to my question,” Lowery said after the meeting.

The Elyrian native also

presented Obama with a poem inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. that described Inauguration Day.

Lowery is just one of millions unemployed in the state. In December, Ohio’s unemploy-ment rate was 10.9 percent, up 0.3 percent in one month’s time, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Obama said he will solve the problems of displaced citizens by using the same American ide-als that got him elected: hard work and dedication.

“So long as I have some breath in me, so long as I have the privi-lege of serving as your president, I will not stop fighting for you,” he said.

Although his policies of creat-ing jobs are not the most popular in Washington, Obama said he is determined to bring jobs back to Ohio.

“I won’t stop fighting for an economy where hard work is rewarded. I won’t stop fighting to make sure there’s account-ability in our financial system. I’m not going to stop fighting until we have jobs for every-body,” he said.

ties for the state during a town-hall meeting Friday at Lorain County Community College.

“The president is working his heart out, and I believe, to do what must be done to create jobs and opportunity for our people,” Strickland said in an exclusive interview with The BG News.

The recession, which has depleted the American work force and crippled the nation’s economy, has left hundreds of thousands of Ohioans unem-ployed. Industries, such as steel and automobile, which were once considered a cash cow for Ohio, are now being outsourced overseas because of cheaper labor, Obama said.

Ohio’s unemployment rate was 10.9 percent in December — the ninth highest among the 50 states, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Obama said some manufac-turing jobs will return, but it would be naïve to think all the jobs that disappeared will come back.

“The president did not cre-ate the recession. He inherited this recession,” Strickland said.

“He has kept the economy from completely going over a cliff that could have damaged us for 10 years into the future.”

Obama is already delivering on his promise to produce jobs in Ohio, the governor said.

Ohio has or will receive more than $9 billion to pro-mote its economy and provide jobs courtesy of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Overall, the state will be given money in several sectors, including health care, environ-ment and education.

Most recently, Ohio received $1.8 million from the legislation to create Connect Ohio, a com-pany mapping and gathering broadband services throughout the state. Connect Ohio will cre-ate about 96,000 jobs, reported by the Times Bulletin, a news organization operating in Van Wert, Ohio.

Obama and the federal gov-ernment can only do so much, Strickland said. The governor said one way the state can fight through this difficult time is for the younger generation to earn a college education before

entering the job market.And while the state budget

has made cuts to other sectors, education has remained a No. 1 priority under Strickland’s watch.

Up until the fall, Ohio was the only state in the country to not raise college tuition for a two-year period.

In October, the University Board of Trustees approved a tuition increase of 3.5 percent, ending a two and a half year tuition freeze.

The state is also allocating $5.5 million to its public school sys-tems from kindergarten through high school, Strickland said.

“I believe the greatest hope for Ohio’s future is to educate our young people and to keep college affordable for our youth,” Strickland said.

Strickland said he will con-tinue to support Ohio students.

“We’ve made great progress,” the governor said. “We’ll con-tinue to make progress because we’ve reformed education, we’ve given our state a constitutional framework for school fund-ing and even in the middle of a recession, we are not abandon-ing our commitment to educa-tion at every level.”

What are the facts?Myth: The “Palestinians” are a nation and

therefore deserving of a homeland.Reality: The concept of Palestinian nationhood

is a new one and had notbeen heard of until afterthe Six-Day War (1967),when Israel, by its victory,came into theadministration of theterritories of Judea andSamaria (the “West Bank”) and the Gaza Strip.The so-called “Palestinians” are no more differentfrom the Arabs living in the neighboring countriesof Lebanon, Syria and Jordan, than Wisconsinitesare from Iowans.

Myth: Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank”)and the Gaza Strip are “occupied Arab territory.”

Reality: All of “Palestine” — east and west of theJordan River — was part of the League of Nationsmandate. Under the Balfour Declaration, all of itwas to be the “national home for the Jewishpeople.” In violation of this mandate, Great Britainsevered the entire area east of the Jordan River —about 75% of Palestine — and gave it to the Arabs,who created on it the kingdom of Transjordan.When Israel declared its independence in 1948,five Arab armies invaded the new country in orderto destroy it at its very birth. They were defeatedby the Israelis. The Transjordanians, however,remained in occupation of Judea and Samaria (the“West Bank”) and East Jerusalem. They proceededto drive all Jews from those territories and tosystematically destroy all Jewish houses ofworship and other institutions. TheTransjordanians (now renamed “Jordanians”) werethe occupiers for nineteen years. Israel regainedthese territories following its victory in the Six-Day War. Israel has returned the entire Gaza Stripto the Palestinians. The final status of the “West

Bank” will be decided if and when the Palestinianswill finally be able to sit down and seriously talkpeace with Israel.

Myth: Jewish settlements in Judea andSamaria (the “WestBank”) are the “greatestobstacle to peace.”

Reality: This is simplynot correct, although ithas been repeated so oftenthat many have come to

believe it. The greatest obstacle to peace is theintransigence and the irreconcilable hostility ofthe Arabs. Not more than 200,000 Jews are settledin these territories, living among about 1.4million Arabs. How can Jews living there be anobstacle to peace? Why shouldn't they live there?About 1.2 million Arabs live in Israel proper. Theyare not an obstacle to peace. Neither the Israelisnor they themselves consider them as such.

Myth: Israel is unwilling to yield “land forpeace.”

Reality: The concept that to the loser, ratherthan to the victor, belong the spoils is a radicallynew one, never before thought of in world history.Israel has emerged victorious in the five warsimposed on it by the Arabs. In order to makepeace, it has returned over 90% of the territoryoccupied by it, specifically the vast SinaiPeninsula, to Egypt. That territory containedsome of the most advanced military installationsin the world, prosperous cities and settlements,and oil fields developed entirely by Israel thatmade it independent of petroleum imports. In theCamp David Accords, Israel agreed to autonomyfor Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank”) with thepermanent status to be determined after threeyears. But no responsible Palestinianrepresentation has been available to negotiatewith Israel about this.

Myths About Israel and the Middle East (1)

Do the media feed us fiction instead of fact?

We all know that, by dint of constant repetition, white can be made to appear black, good can gettransformed into evil, and myth may take the place of reality. Israel, with roughly one-thousandth of theworld's population and with a similar fraction of the territory of this planet, seems to engage a totallydisproportionate attention of the print and broadcast media of the world. Unfortunately, much of what themedia tell us — in reporting, editorializing in columns, and in analysis — are endlessly repeated myths.

All these myths (and others we shall talk about) have poisoned the atmosphere for decades. The rootcause of the never-ending conflict is the unwillingness of the Arabs (and not just the Palestinians) toaccept the reality of Israel. What a pity that those of the Palestinians who are not Israeli citizens havelived and continue to live in poverty, misery and ignorance. They could have chosen to accept theproposed partition of the country in 1947, would now have had their state alongside Israel for over sixtyyears and could have lived in peace and prosperity. They could have kept hundreds of thousands ofrefugees in their homes and could have saved tens of thousands of lives. Peace will only come when theArabs finally accept the reality of Israel. And that is not a myth — that is a fact!

Deltas brush up for annual week of

service for students

COURTNEY STELLAR | THE BG NEWS

PAINTING: Junior La Toya Young paints a window in the Union yesterday evening. The communications major was using the window to get the word out about an event her sorority, Delta Sigma Theta Incorporated, is host-ing. The event, Delta Week 2010, is a week made up of different events that can benefit students. Some events include learning how to properly use Photoshop and teaching students how to manage their money more efficiently. Delta Week takes place once every spring and fall semester. Young believes the window in the Union is a good way to get the word out about different events. The sorority also passes out fliers and uses Facebook to get others involved. For more information on this event, check out the window display in the Union.

ing with.“If students are working at

their church or they are already putting in hours at the United Way, they can log those hours toward our 1 million,” he said.

The Director of the Office of Service Learning Jane Rosser said students will be able to log their hours on a new Web site, that will be launched this week, so the Centennial committee can keep track of their progress toward the 1 million hour goal.

She said the Web site will be a “one-stop-shop” for all the resources students, faculty, staff and alumni will need to find information about other ser-vice opportunities. She also said their will be links for service par-ticipants to share stories, pho-tos and videos of the projects they’ve worked on.

Rosser said that if everyone associated with the University puts in 50 hours of service this

year, then the 1 million hours goal will be reached.

“People put in more hours than they think,” Rosser said.

“But this also gives students the opportunity to put time into things they care about.”

After the Centennial is over, the service hour site will be a place where students will be able log service hours for years to come.

Rosser said the finishing touches to the Web site will be done soon and it should be up and running sometime this week.

At the end of 2010, there will be President Volunteer Service Awards given out for service hours and the total number of hours will be revealed.

“Sometimes our students only make the news when they’re in the blotter,” she said. “[1 million hour of service] sends a mes-sage about what BGSU is doing in the community. It says ‘This is the kind of University we are and this is what we care about.’”

One of the organizations

whose service hours will be going toward the University’s 1 million is Dance Marathon (DM). The Director of DM Michelle Robinson said DM will be celebrating its 15th year in April and she is excited to add the time students and organiza-tions serve this year toward the 1 million hours of service.

“Think about the hours that will be put in,” Robinson said.

“100 dancers times 36 hours, that’s 3,600 hours.”

Weiss said he hopes other organizations will get on board with adding to the service hours ,like Greek philanthro-pies and other fundraiser or acts of service.

“I really want students to get going on this,” Weiss said.

“Without the students, the other groups [alumni, faculty and staff] will not be able to meet those 1 million hours,” he said.

The University will announce the launch of the 1 million Hours of Service Web site soon, and until then, Weiss said he encour-ages students to start serving.

EL ZARAPE From Page 1ting, which is slightly larger than the old location that held 180 customers.

David Olivarez is El Zarape’s general manager and his fam-ily is also part owner of the restaurant. He said what sets El Zarape apart from other Mexican restaurants is their unique style of jalisco cooking.

“We are definitely known for our margaritas, but we also focus on our original jalisco cuisine,” Olivarez said. “Jalisco is the region in Mexico my fam-ily is from; it’s around Central Mexico. Like any other country, you have variations of food in different routes, and jalisco is some of the most authentic Mexican styles around.”

El Zarape’s margaritas by the pitcher are a student favorite and some of the best around. Senior Derik Meadows has consumed enough of them to validate that reputation.

“The lemon lime margaritas are delicious,” Meadows said.

“Sometimes restaurants use too much alcohol, but here they’re just too smooth. They go down pretty easy. But I just like to

come here, hang out, get a meal and meet up with friends.”

El Zarape has been the recip-ient of several awards for their prompt service and satisfying dishes, the most impressive being the online survey spon-sored by The Toledo Blade, CitySearch.com, which rated El Zarape second out of 60 non-franchise owned restaurants in Bowling Green.

With a packed parking lot and customers waiting out the door, El Zarape stays its busiest on the weekends and even draws in a large crowd on Sunday evenings.

“We stay pretty steady every day of the week,” Olivarez said.

“We try to bring in more peo-ple by having a lot of different discount cards. On Thursday, anyone who is some kind of student and has an I.D. can receive 10 percent off their meal. We also have happy hour Monday to Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m.”

Freshman Meghan Chambers, a regular at El Zarape, said customers defi-nitely get their money’s worth and receive a large portion of food for a reasonable price.

“I love El Zarape’s chips and salsa,” Chambers said. “They

give you a lot of great food and it isn’t too expensive. We usu-ally come on Thursdays and get the student discount. I’ve probably been here nine or 10 times since I’ve been living in Bowling Green and that’s only four months, so that says a lot about El Zarape’s reputation.”

Some of El Zarape’s best dishes are open for debate, but Olivarez said the chimichan-gas, fajitas and the quesadillas are some of the favorites. While the food at El Zarape brings in enough customers by itself, the service staff shares a close bond to many of the commu-nity regulars.

Ricky Davila is a busboy and has been employed at El Zarape since 2007. He said he enjoys working at El Zarape and getting to know the people in the Bowling Green area.

“I know a lot of people in Bowling Green from talking to the customers and being friendly,” he said. “I love work-ing here and meeting new people. The community has a different outlook and is much more cooperative with ser-vice issues. They know we are working people and their very considerate when it comes to tipping.”

MLB needs to come down hard on athletes who take steroids

Increase in GOP popularity due to dissatisfaction with Democrats

There’s been a lot of celebrating over the election of Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts, which saw a Republican fill the seat vacated by the late Senator Kennedy. Brown’s victory will undoubtedly have repercus-sions in the 2012 elections and beyond.

But the last thing the GOP — at any level — should do is become too proud. Bear in mind the Massachusetts election was not so much an endorsement of the GOP as it was a rejection of the Democratic position on a number of issues. Rejection by the voters of your opponent’s position is not the same as their endorsement of yours.

The fact is, voters are disen-chanted with both parties. I won’t go into the problems I have with the Democrats — my space in the opinion page is limited. But I’ve also had prob-lems with the GOP’s position on a number of issues for the past eight years: No Child Left Behind, unfunded Medicare Part D, the list goes on and on.

To be honest, the GOP has been acting in many respects like the Democrats: tax and spend, bread and circuses, enti-tlements and pork purveyors.

Columnist Peggy Noonan put it succinctly in a recent Wall Street Journal editorial. She compared the Democrats and Republicans to two rival teen-aged gangs, which she labeled the Nuts and the Creeps, respectively. The Nuts advo-

cated spending and statism; the Creeps did likewise, but tried to preach fiscal prudence.

I may be showing my age, but it’s been a long time since any political party truly offered “a choice, not an echo,” as the Republicans did in 1964.

Will there be anything in the GOP of the future that even vaguely resembles favor-ing a reduction in the national debt and a corresponding decrease in spending? I think so; I hope so.

As for the future of a deeply flawed health care bill: let’s wait until our nation is back on its feet economically before we talk about anything so expen-sive. Some will call this turning our backs on the poor and sick. I disagree.

We all have a duty to help those in need. But we also have a duty to guard and protect our resources. This is known as stewardship. It involves not only doing the “greatest good for the greatest number” or “getting the biggest bang for the buck.” At bottom, it’s con-cerned with insuring our aid and assistance goes to help and succor those who truly need it and in the best, most efficient fashion possible.

Given the record the fed-eral government has with the postal service, Amtrak, Fannie and Freddie and Medicare and Medicaid, I feel comfortable in stating who not to entrust this task to.

In preparing this column, I stumbled across the words Barry Goldwater spoke on Jan. 3, 1964, when he announced his candidacy for the presidency. I close by quoting an extract of this announcement, because he said it so much better than I ever could:

“One of the great attributes of our American two party system has always been the reflected differences in principle. As a general rule one party has emphasized individual liber-ty and the other has favored the extension of government power… I’ve always stood for government that is limited and balanced and against the ever-increasing concentrations of authority in Washington. I’ve always stood for individual responsibility and against regi-mentation. I believe we must now make a choice in this land and not continue drifting end-lessly down and down for a time when all of us, our lives, our property, our hopes and even our prayers will become just cogs in a vast government machine.”

I hope the Republican Party contemplates his words. They’re as relevant now as they were then.

This article was written as an open letter to the Republican

party. Respond to Phil at thenews@bgnews.com

“We all have a duty to help those in need. But we also have a duty to guard and

protect our resources.”

So-called ‘exceptionalism’ does not entitle anyone to dogmatism

Earlier this month, the sports world received a not-so-sur-prising bombshell from Mark McGwire. He admitted he had been taking steroids during the later half of his career, includ-ing the 1998 season when he hit a then record-breaking 70 home runs.

Since he took part in the Congressional hearings on the matter of steroid use in 2005, it was not a huge surprise to most people. At the same time, McGwire coming out with his secret leaves baseball with a very difficult question to answer: What will be the legacy of this entire generation of ball players in the so-called Steroid Era?

Some of the biggest names in baseball for the last decade and a half are now connected to steroid use. Besides McGwire, there’s Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Manny Ramirez, Alex Rodriguez and Sammy Sosa — a never-ending list of who’s who in baseball today.

Despite the different excuses these players come up with, from ignorance to recovery from injuries, the fact remains: they cheated and would never have achieved their amazing stats had they not taken these substances.

Hopefully, one of the legacies that comes out of this dark chap-ter in sports history is the realiza-tion that unless people are truly punished for what they do, others will continue to do the crime.

At this moment, A-Rod and Ramirez are still playing the game and putting up numbers that seem superhuman, the rea-son being, of course, they are cheating.

If the legacy of baseball today is to be one of honesty, the League needs to actually step up and stop performance enhancement.

If they are worried about ruin-ing their players’ reputations and the records they have broken, then what were they thinking when they banned Pete Rose, the all-time career hit leader? He is not allowed into the Hall of Fame, despite the fact he never cheated to get his amazing num-bers. Why is the League not act-ing like this now, when there are several players doing far worse things for the sport?

The reason is simple — money. Pete Rose was one of the great-est players to ever take the field, but he was not a huge national headliner. Today, in a time when baseball is trying to make the game more fun and attractive by adding offense, when several of the biggest hitters are linked to steroid use, they simply get a slap on the wrist and then are allowed back in the batters box.

Selling out is not what the sport needs. There are countless other great players who are clean and hard working, exactly how all the baseball legends before this era did it. As for the cheating big stars who don’t deserve the fanfare, their time in the major leagues needs to come to an end soon.

McGwire made the right choice by coming out and officially stat-ing once and for all he was tak-ing steroids, which directly led to increased numbers during his career. Now it is the League’s turn to decide how to deal with it and make choices that will affect not only superstars today, but the future as well.

Respond to Bryan at thenews@bgnews.com

In history and American culture studies, the phrase “American Exceptionalism” gets a lot of mile-age in conversations.

This is because it describes, in a cognitively dissonant way, a lot of facets of our society. It is in our collective history: groups that came to this land “looking for freedom” to practice a belief, escape from marginalization or secure land for themselves began to look at themselves as “exceptional.”

The Pilgrims and Puritans came to America to practice their religion in “freedom,” dis-covered their “Exceptionalism,” and began to punish those who wanted the “freedom” to worship in their own way. This was just the first example of marginalization on the part of a group who found Exceptionalism after escaping marginalization in another place.

Marginalization by those who feel exceptional is as American

as Apple Pie in the sum of our history. Even the more enlight-ened — or those who consider themselves enlightened — can be guilty of marginalization. In fact, the quickest phrase out of peo-ples’ mouths who feel exceptional is, “There ought to be a law.”

Take smoking, for instance. In Ohio, voters passed a law banning smoking in public places. The law is a nightmare to enforce; many public places have returned to smoking. This returns the issue to a matter of personal choice, to patronize or not to patronize a smoking establishment.

In line with that, we have also stuck our noses in the lives of those who want to be commit-ted to each other for life but are not society’s vision of a “mar-ried couple.” Most of this comes from those who see themselves as anointed and exceptional. Seeking exceptionalism is an American trait and once it is found, those thus blessed imme-diately start to convince others to join them.

It can be like religion in our country. We have many con-vinced they are exceptional, and that it is important others share

it. Nothing wrong with that, other than if you don’t share their par-ticular view, you are hellbound for sure.

Being hellbound is something I am familiar with, as many have told me over my life I am destined to go there because I have not signed up for their particular spir-itual aerial cruise to Rapturedom. On the other hand, I am not wor-ried about hell, because you have to believe in it and I don’t. If there is a hell, we are living in it, so whatever the next phase is, it has to be better than the present.

I do believe in heaven though, or what I call “Harley Heaven,” where the weather is always great, my bike never runs out of gas or breaks down, there are no speed limits, the roads are long and straight with an occasional chi-cane of curves to keep it interest-ing and I don’t have to ever stop to take a leak. In Harley Heaven, everyone is welcome, even those who ride metrics or don’t ride at all, believe or don’t believe, vegan, vegetarian or like their steaks rare and bloody.

After all none of us are excep-tional, but should be at peace with our inner selves and not

what we are or are not.

OUR CALLGymnasts open MAC play

By CJ WatsonReporter

The Bowling Green gymnas-tics team opened up the Mid-American Conference season on the right foot as they came away with a 192.625 to 190.900 victory over Northern Illinois on Sunday afternoon in Anderson Arena.

The Falcons looked confident as they took first place in every

event of the afternoon. BG came out on top after winning the vault and the uneven bars and took their .700 lead into the balance beam and floor routine. The beam was the Falcons’ weakest event of the afternoon and NIU capitalized on that as they took a lead into the final event.

BG showed they were up to the challenge on the floor and put together a solid score of 48.825 to

give the Falcons the victory.“We stumbled a little bit on

the balance beam but they regrouped and had a great finish on the floor,” explained coach Kerrie Beach. “The floor was our best event. We went in knowing we were a tenth of a point down and they knew it was a place they

Millet Hall continues to haunt men’s basketball team in lossBy Paul Barney

Assistant Sports Editor

Millet Hall and Miami haven’t been very welcoming to the BG men’s basketball team.

Since the Falcons’ last win in Oxford on Feb. 20, 2002, the Red Hawks have gone on to win the last six meetings at home against BG – most recently a 64-52 win Saturday.

Trailing 36-33 with 11:28 in the second half, Miami went on a 13-0 run over the next 3:42 to take

the lead, a lead they would never relinquish.

The Falcons closed the gap to within seven with 3:50 to play, but the Red Hawks knocked down 12-of-16 free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.

Both teams struggled early

from the floor, with BG lead-ing just 20-19 at the half as both teams combined to shoot 14-for-43 from the floor.

“We knew it was going to be a slow game,” Miami coach Charlie Coles said. “We were each going to run about 28 seconds off the clock before we shot, but [our team] had to be there defensively, and we were.”

The Falcons offense had no answer for Miami’s defense, as

An effort to be more consistent can be rewarded.

The BG women’s track and field team needed a consis-tent effort and more balance across the board to improve on its fifth-place finish from the weekend before.

The team did just that and was rewarded with a team title Friday night at the Jane Herrmann Invitational.

The Falcons narrowly edged the meet’s defending champi-on Dayton by nine points, 168-159. BG won seven out of 16 events scored.

Jeanette Pettigrew won the 60 meter dash with a time of 7.73 seconds. The freshman has now won the event in both meets this season. The 4x400 meter relay team also secured a first-place finish for the second

SPORTS BRIEFBarnes shines in East’s win in Shrine GameFreddie Barnes had just one catch in the first three quarters of the East/West

Shrine Game Saturday, but his three catches in the final two minutes of the game helped seal the game for the East.

Catching three straight passes from Mike Kafka, Barnes gained 29 yards during a 55-yard drive for the East that ended with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Quarless, giving the East a 13-10 lead with six seconds left in the game.

Barnes was the second option on that play, according to the East’s offensive coordinator, who was interviewed by ESPN before the play.

In total, Barnes had four grabs for 40 yards.During the ESPN2 broadcast, it was mentioned that Barnes was not invited to

the NFL Combine, but the analysts said they thought Barnes would get drafted in the late rounds because of his ability to catch the ball.

Barnes almost thrilled scouts by catching a touchdown, but strong defense from the West forced an incompletion.

Falcons skate past Broncos

By Ryan SatkowiakReporter

With three seconds remaining in regulation during Friday night’s game against Western Michigan University, it looked like the same song, different night for the BG hockey team.

For the second consecutive game, the Falcons blew a two goal lead in the third period, this time allowing

the tying goal with just three seconds remaining in an eventual shootout win.

“It’s just something that we have to continue to learn from and get better as a group,” said interim head coach Dennis Williams. “I told them right before we went into overtime, ‘Hey, we still have five minutes here,’ which plays down to we need to get over it and move on.”

The teams remained tied 4-4 after overtime, which ensured a shootout.

David Solway started off the shootout with a goal for BG after Western Michigan shooter Greg Squires missed. However, the next two shooters for WMU converted, while Tomas Petruska missed.

Swimmers fall to Rockets in home finale

BG NEWS FILE PHOTOTREAD WATER: The BG swim team lost to Toledo on Friday afternoon.

By Justin OnslowReporter

The Falcons swam hard, but left Cooper Pool with a 158-99 loss Friday night at the hands of Toledo in their last home meet of the season.

Although the point total did not end in the Falcons’ favor, several positives can be taken away from the meet.

In the final event of the night, Falcon swimmers posted 1:37:17, the team’s fastest dual-meet time of the year in the 200-yard freestyle relay. Assistant swimming coach Mark Howard was pleased with his swimmers’ performance in that event.

“That was not expected,” Howard said. “That was defi-nitely a good way to end it.”

Because of the strenuous training the Falcon swimmers have been doing in preparation for the MAC Championships

which begin on February 24, Howard was extremely happy with the way the swimmers battled through sore muscles to post their dual-meet best in that event.

Senior captain Meg Richardson was the only Falcon swimmer to capture a first-place win that night as she recorded a time of 24:01 in the 50-yard freestyle event.

Friday’s meet was the Falcons’ final home meet of the season, and it was also Richardson’s farewell to Cooper Pool.

“It was pretty emotional for me,” Richardson said. “It was very bittersweet. I started think-ing about how fast the four years have gone at BG and how I train every single day there with my teammates and it’s going to be the last time that I ever compete in that pool for BGSU.”

Howard was impressed with the amount of supporters that

attended the meet.“It probably was one of the

biggest crowds we’ve ever had at that venue for a dual meet,” Howard said. “If we can keep that kind of fan base up, I have no doubt that the girls will be motivated.”

Several Falcon swimmers recorded strong finishes Friday night, including Vicky Yu with a second-place finish in the 100-yard butterfly and third-place finish in the 200-yard butterfly.

Amanda Rom posted two third-place finishes and Emily Bennet recorded a second-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle. Alexis Kain also recorded a sec-ond-place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke.

Alexa Harris notched a fourth-place finish in the 100-yard backstroke and Katie Womack placed the same in the 100-yard breaststroke.

In all, Falcon swimmers fin-ished in top-three spots in elev-en events.

Expect to see strong perfor-mances from Falcon swimmers as they compete at Buffalo next Saturday.

Senior Meg Richardson feels that she and her teammates have a lot of confidence head-ing into the end of the season because of all the hard training they are doing right now.

“That kind of training and knowing that we are training harder than any other team in the MAC right now is just going to give us even more con-fidence,” Richardson said.

The Falcons will take on Buffalo next weekend and Akron on Feb. 5, which are the last two dual meets for the team before the MAC Championships in Oxford beginning Feb. 24.

sophomore Scott Thomas, who was averaging 21.3 points per game the last three games, was held to 10 points on 3-of-11 from the floor.

Dee Brown led the way for the Falcons with 17 points, but as a team, BG finished the game 18-for-45 (40 percent) from the floor.

Miami was able to put its 7-for-23 shooting effort in the first half behind them, as they shot 66.7 percent in the second half to outscore the Falcons 45-32.

“In the second half they seemed to be attacking the high post and throwing it back out and that hurt us,” BG coach Louis Orr said. “We needed to do a better job of keep-ing it out of the high post. Miami physically won the battle in the second half.”

The Red Hawks had three play-ers finish in double figures, includ-ing forward Julian Mavunga, who posted a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds in 23 minutes of work.

Compile those numbers

with 17 points from Kenny Hayes and 13 points from Nick Winbush, and Miami was not to be denied its fourth consecu-tive home win.

The Red Hawks also dominat-ed the painted area, as they out-rebounded BG 32-24, including 6-2 on the offensive glass.

The win improves Miami to 6-12 overall and 3-2 in the Mid-American Conference, while dropping the Falcons to 2-3 in the MAC, 9-8 overall.

BG is now in second place in the MAC East standings, while Miami is locked in a four-way tie for first with Akron, Buffalo and Kent State.

Ohio is in sole possession of last with a 1-4 mark in league play.

The Falcons will look to bounce back in the MAC when they travel to Eastern Michigan Wednesday for a 7 p.m. tip-off. LOST: Dee Brown and his teammates fell short as they lost to Miami.

consecutive meet.Other event champions for BG

included Rachael Doughty in the 60 meter hurdles and long jump, Felicia Jefferson in the 200 meter dash, Sabrina Forstein in the pole vault, and Tatijana Jacobson in the high jump.

Coach Cami Wells said she’s happy with the win but the ultimate goal is to continue to improve and gear up for the end of the season.

“We still have some areas to work on, but I was really pleased with our consistency across the board. Everybody fought hard and got done what we needed to do.

“There were a lot of very strong performances tonight. We built on last week and still have build-ing to do.”

The Falcons will compete Saturday at the Tom Wright Classic at the Field House this Saturday, Jan. 30, with the first event slated to begin at 9:30 a.m.

converted, sending the shoot-out to extra rounds. The next WMU shooter missed the net, and James Perkin converted on a sweet deke move to seal the win for BG.

“I just went in, it’s a move I’ve been doing for awhile, he almost had me there on the poke-check,” Perkin said. “I was able to get it to my backhand, and after that it was pretty much a wide open net.”

BG outshot WMU 17-6 in the first period, but faced the prospect of heading into inter-mission down 1-0, until with just under three minutes to go, Brennan Vargas was awarded

a penalty shot.He converted to make it 1-1. It

was the first successful penalty shot for BG since 2002.

Leading 3-2 early in the third, Solway scored to make it 4-2. BG held steady for the next ten min-utes, before allowing two goals in the last four minutes to send it to overtime.

BG’s special teams played well in the game, as their power play went 2-8, and they killed off 5-6 penalties.

Saturday was much of the same, as the game came down to the wire despite BG being in control most of the game.

BG held a near 3-to-1 shot advantage for much of the game, despite the fact that the score was always close.

James McIntosh scored his

first collegiate goal ten minutes into the game to stake BG out to the early lead. That lead evapo-rated three minutes later when WMU scored an unassisted goal off a BG turnover.

Each team scored a goal in the second, and the game remained tied until about five minutes to go in the game, when Samuels-Thomas scored to make it 3-2.

“It was our first sweep of the season, so that’s always good,” Samuels-Thomas said. “It’s going to help us build for the tough part of the schedule we have coming up here.”

WMU goalie Riley Gill was the only reason this game was not a blowout, as he stopped 34 of 37 shots, while not receiving much help from his teammates.

“Riley’s been an exceptional

force throughout his career, and that was no different tonight,” said WMU coach Jim Culhane.

“He made some huge saves for us tonight.”

BG was once again very suc-cessful on special teams, going 2-6 on the power play, and killing all six penalties they took.

“We stress being aggressive as much as we can on the pen-alty kill,” Williams said. “I felt we did a real good job of com-municating, we did a good job with our switches and staying with our man.

“We made a lot smarter plays getting the puck deep instead of turning it over at the blue-line.”

The team has a bye this week-end. They return to home ice Thursday, February 4, against Michigan at 7:05 p.m.

could catch up.”Breanne Guy took the All-

Around medal with a 38.875 over the Huskies’ Natalie Blum, who finished with a 38.725. Guy was consistent through the entirety of the meet and put up solid numbers for the Falcons on the beam with a 9.80 and on the vault and floor with scores of 9.725 and 9.70, respectively.

“Breanne had a rough first week as she hurt herself a little bit,” said Beach. “She came back today and proved, being the All-Around champion, that she is a force to be reckoned with in the MAC.”

Freshmen Danielle Wishart and Sunny Marchand both had very strong days for the Falcons. Wishart’s 9.825 on the vault was enough to land her in first place. Both performed exceptionally well on the floor as Wishart scored a 9.850 – the best score of

the meet – to give her first place as Marchand tied for second with a 9.800.

“Our freshmen really stand out,” said Beach. “Danielle Wishart and Sunny Marchand really stepped up. I think hav-ing the meet behind them at Michigan they were able to come in and refocus today.”

BG brings their record to 1-2 overall and 1-0 in the MAC, and looks to continue its success as they travel to Western Michigan next Sunday for a 2 p.m. match.
