Local food pantry benefits locals

Volunteers assist in serving needs

The Board of Trustees dis-cussed the current and future University budget at their meeting last Thursday.

While the budget has increased over the past years, the proposed budget for the fiscal year 2015 will be decreased, Chief Financial Officer Sherri Stoll said.

Fiscal year 2014’s budget was about $403 million and the budget for 2015 is pro-posed to be about $394 mil-

lion—nearly a $9 million decrease in spending.

Init ia l ly, the University was project ing a $7.7 mil-lion def icit, but the budget is now balanced.

One of the ways the University was able to decrease spending is by draw-ing students to the University and retaining them, bringing in revenue.

One of the strategies used to do this was to put a hold on tuition, Stoll said.

Volunteers at The BG Christian Food Pantry served people for the final time at their Wooster Street location on Monday and the pantry will be moving locations to 419 Gould St. on Wednesday, July 2.

BG Christian Food Pantry has been open since 1984, according to director Shirley Woessner. Woessner has been the director for nine and a half years.

The BG Christian Food Pantry has been getting free rent for their space in St. John’s Episcopal Church for 11 years, according to volunteer Joanne Fields. However, the landlord wants to rent the space out now, Fields said.

Fields has been volunteering at the pantry between six to seven years.

Woessner and other volunteers think that moving to a different location will be an effective transition for the business and for the people they serve.

“It has more room,” Woessner said. “We have quite a bit more space than we had.”

Fields said the large amount of steps at the pantry tend to be an issue for elderly and handicapped people who come there.

Jeremy Converse, a volunteer, also said that the area where visitors have to wait in line to access the pantry tends to f lood. Visitors also have to wait in line outside of the pantry because of the small space inside.

“I think that it’s a real need,” Fields said about moving to a different location.

The BG Christian Food Pantry is one of several food pantries in Bowling Green that serve residents with low income and temporary layoffs.

Woessner said there have been a variety of different groups who have come to the food pantry over the years, such as blended families and homeless people. Woessner also said they have even served people who were living out of their car.

Visitors of The BG Christian Food Pantry can choose from a variety of soups, fruits, vegetables and canned foods such as beef stew and tuna. Woessner said that volunteers pick up the food from places such as Kroger, Panera and the Northwest Ohio Food Bank.

People need to come to the pantry with a referral from places such as the Social Services Agency in order to purchase food from the aisles, according to Woessner. However, Fields said anyone could come to the pantry to get bread and sweets.

The Art of Video Games, a three-year-long exhibi-tion that aims to illuminate the artistry and beauty of over 40 years of video games, opened its doors of nostalgic buzzes, beeps and whistles to gamers and

spectators of all ages in its first week at the Toledo Museum of Art.

Although the exhibition has made its first and only debut in Ohio, it originally began in the Smithsonian American Art Museum. In 2012 the exhibition saw a six-month stretch at the Smithsonian. According to

Chris Melissinos, the co-producer and curator of the exhibition, it was the most “technically complex exhibit

in the history of the Smithsonian.”

Getting into swingLocal band treats listeners to an evening of rhythm and jazz

RUBEN KAPPLER | THE BG NEWSSWINGMANIA, a group specializing in “big band” music, performed on the Needle Hall Stage at City Park Sunday. The park holds free concerts on Sunday evenings throughout the summer.

As college students, we are frequently pushing bound-aries, taking risks and making decisions all while living life in the moment rather than worrying about tomorrow.

“YOLO!” Yes, I’ve said it. The

ever-so-popular acronym

“YOLO” that means “you only live once” is something I use to encourage myself to push through boundaries that limit me.

While “YOLO” has became a widespread phrase often overused by the American popular cul-ture—sometimes I even catch myself cringe when I hear it—it’s just too true to ignore.

We really do only live once. It’s one life and life is extremely short.

What makes life so inter-

esting is that we never know what life actually has in store for us. Life as we know it is something very precious and should never be taken for granted. We should live life to the fullest.

Find something that is important to you. Ignore what others may say or think of you and don’t do what you believe others want you to do. Do something that you enjoy. It’s ultimately your life, your decision and your happiness.

I believe this to be one of the hardest ways to live.

I constantly want to please others surrounding me in my life. I’ve been caught in situations where I continue to do something that makes me unhappy, just to see the ones I love around me happy. While that’s thought-ful on my part, it does noth-ing but hurt me and the life I am living. It’s important to realize it’s your own life to live—so live it for yourself, not anyone else.

Remember to live in the moment. There’s an amaz-ing quote I’ve pinned on

Pinterest multiple times that reads, “Learn from yester-day, live for today and hope for tomorrow.” Although it’s hard to forget what hap-pened yesterday or what could happen in your future, stop and just live for today.

While living in the moment, it’s likely you’re going to encounter many decisions and risks you must quickly act on. As scary as it sounds, it’s a part of life we just can’t escape; but rather than feeling hesitant, take a chance. I can guarantee you

will never achieve anything if you do not take some chances. You’ll regret not taking risks more than the ones you decide to take.

So, next time you’re worrying about what to do, what decision to make and what chance to take, push yourself to remem-ber “YOLO” because we only get one life to live and we better make the best of it.

Ever since Bowe Bergdahl’s brothers in arms have come out of the woodwork to denounce him, many Americans have rethought President Obama’s decision to exchange him for five Taliban prisoners. I am not one of them.

As some may ask, is a “deserter” worth giving up five terrorists?

Even if he is a deserter, the answer is undoubtedly yes.

I’m not here to call those such as Spc. Cody Full liars, but I don’t think it’s fair to con-demn Bergdahl as a bad person just because a few soldiers make him out to be that way. We do not know the history between these soldiers and we do not yet know the true story behind what happened.

It’s only fair to judge Bergdahl once he has

been tried in court. As our justice system expresses, one is innocent until proven guilty.

Even if Bergdahl did go AWOL, which it seems he did, there’s no

reason why this should exempt him from being brought back.

There are many rea-sons for desertion, some more nefarious than oth-ers. From the story being told, it seems Bergdahl was unhappy with how the Taliban was being dealt with. Instead of winning “hearts and minds,” Bergdahl “want-ed to hunt and kill,” as Full said.

Although Bergdahl’s alleged desertion may have not had the most noble of reasoning, it seems he didn’t exactly act as an outright trai-tor as some would like to claim.

Bergdahl was ulti-mately a prisoner of war. He was an American citizen, and his life is not forfeit simply because he may have deserted. He may not be “honorable” or a hero, but bringing him back was the right

thing to do. If trading members

of the Taliban is what we needed to do to get him back, then I’m all for it. I often hear the phrase “we don’t negotiate with terrorists.” Why not?

It’s time to stop treat-ing terrorists as forces of nature that can’t be reckoned with and more like human beings. Some claim that negotiating with them makes us look weak. However, we can never come to an under-standing, and ultimately some semblance of peace without negotiation.

Terrorists have motives just like anyone else, and we can only make progress by under-standing and addressing those motives.

If Bergdahl is to be found guilty for deser-tion, I have no problem with him being pun-ished. However, such an action does not mean we should have left him for dead.

Respond to Seth atthenews@bgnews.com

Accidents happen. That’s why they’re called acci-dents—because they don’t happen on purpose.

Even though they aren’t intentional, acci-dents can still hurt and cause frustrations because most of the time, if common sense is used, accidents are preventable.

For example, my car was legally parked in front of my mom’s house and her neighbor backed out of the driveway and hit my car, knocking my back bumper off.

The lady had no intention of hitting my car, but it has caused me a massive amount of grief even though it was an accident.

You have to deal with accidents like anything else you’d deal with. You have to be forgiving and understanding.

Was it fair of her to hit my car? No, it was not.

Was there any way of

preventing the accident? Yes, there was.

This is the cause of my frustration because even though it was an accident, it was prevent-able simply by using a rearview mirror.

I get so fed up trying to understand the logic behind people who act without thinking that it makes me dizzy.

Accidents, though infuriating at t imes, are forgivable.

The lady who hit my car was at fault, but she didn’t intentionally strike my car. Therefore, it required very little of me to forgive her actions.

Forgiveness is impor-tant if we want to be able to move on and this is one occurrence I don’t want to hold onto forever.

Plus, there seems to always be a small silver lining in all accidents, if nothing else.

The silver lining of this car accident was that no one was hurt. It is an extreme bonus for me that I wasn’t in the car and neither was my boyfriend or his brother. The fact that the other

woman was not hurt adds a nice plus to the situation as well.

Another big factor of dealing with an accident is being understanding.

Yes, anger flares up when people make mis-takes sometimes. But you have to realize, with a rational mind, that you can’t lash out at the person making the mistake.

I was very upset that she hit my car, but I was respectful of her and made sure I treated her with kindness by trying to understand her lack of common sense. I am still angry, but I realize that accidents aren’t some-thing that always make sense. But that doesn’t mean they were done with malice.

I’ve learned to make sure you always act with dignity and respect when dealing with people who cause accidents.

The Bowling Green men’s golf team is at rest for the summer after ending a successful sea-son. The team added freshman Brett Rinker this past year, contributing to more depth to their roster. Rinker was a key contributor all year and posted top team scores as a freshman. Rinker’s first year seemed impressive for a freshman, and while it certainly was, the year is indicative of his jour-ney. Growing up three and a half hours away in Slippery Rock, Pa., the now-sophomore collegiate golfer first picked up a club at the age of four. His father was a professional golf teacher and introduced Rinker to the game. Rinker’s father continued to help him grow as an athlete and still gives him tips about his game to this day. After growing up as a multi-sport athlete, it wasn’t until high school that Rinker decided he would focus solely on golf. “Once I got to high school, I knew I wanted to do this in college,” Rinker said. “I started to play in bigger tour-naments and just try to get looked at.” Despite being one of the best players on his high school team all four years, the golf standout

was not heavily recruited. “I emailed Coach Farrell at the time and asked if I could come out for a visit because I really didn’t have any other schools looking at me,” Rinker said. “I came out for a visit and I really liked it at Bowling Green. I emailed the coach a week later and told him I wanted to play golf here.” When Rinker finally arrived at Bowling Green, he fit right in. He enjoyed a social life and did well in the classroom, on top of balancing the demand-ing life of a student athlete. The work was ongoing but it produced results—Rinker had the best stroke average on his team with a 73.26 and finished in the top 15 six times. “Right from class I would grab something to eat and head to the golf course for the rest of the day unless I had a night class to go back to,” Rinker said. “It’s definitely a lot of work when you have to include four hours of practice a day and work that into your schedule.” All of that paid off. Rinker was named the MAC Freshman of the Year, the first time the award has ever been given to a Bowling Green golfer. “That award meant a lot to me,” Rinker said. “It was nice to win for my coach because he gave me the opportunity to

play college golf here when not many other schools did.” Even after winning the award, Rinker is still set on improving and going even further. “I definitely want to prove myself [next year] and be able to show that I deserve this award. I have to continue to play good golf, so I’ve still been working really hard to show improvement.” Everything from winning this award to playing at the illustri-ous Greenbrier course in West Virginia, Rinker will look to take his experiences and sup-port from his freshman season and move forward. Rinker will be moving back in August with fellow second-year teammate Jose Narro. “Coming in I heard he was a pretty good player,” Rinker said. “Now we’re really good friends and we always want to see each other play well. There’s also definitely some friendly com-petition so we see each other improve playing together.” Rinker is currently back home in Pennsylvania con-tinuing to play in tournaments. He is expected to come into his sophomore year again as one

of the club’s top players.

After the win against Ghana, the U.S. men’s soccer team was looking for a blank—but Por-tugal’s team had other ideas. Both teams fought, but it ended up becoming a draw for both teams as the men tied 2-2 for the final score. For the United States, the two men that scored were Clint Dempsey and Jermaine Jones. Jones, according to various sources, had to miss the 2010 World Cup Series, sponsored by FIFA, due to an injury to his foot. The score came from the midfielder when the ball was kicked back onto

the field to signal the U.S.’s turn. He kicked it from midfield into the goal, and tied the U.S. with Portugal at 1-1. It came a little over an hour of play. Dempsey’s goal came closer to the end, which put the U.S. on top for a while. The goal came when a combination of team members kicked it and at one point, it was almost out of bounds. Once the ball was kicked across the field, Dempsey managed to find it and kick it in. He scored it towards the hour and a half mark of the game. Portugal, who has been the world leader in the series, was coming off

of a four-game losing streak and was not go-ing to let the U.S. win. The two goals that came from the Portugal team came from Luis Almeida de Cunha. De Cunha, also known as “Nani”, scored the first goal of the game at the five min-ute mark. His teammate, Andre Almeida, had possession of the ball and kicked it towards the goal; it went off to the side, and de Cunha came in to kick it in. Ghana’s second goal was scored by Silvestre Varela using his head. The game was decided within the last few seconds of the game when Cristiano Ronaldo kicked the ball down the

field and up in the air. It was intended for the goal, but it was a little high. Varela saw it and, with a head bump, put it into the goal. The game became a draw instead of a win for the U.S. The U.S. will be up against Germany, one of the toughest teams, on Thursday. The U.S. men will need to bring all they have to the game. If the they win, the team will go through to the next series. If Germany wins, they will go on to the next series—but the U.S. would still have a chance to make it, as two teams will advance to the next round of the World Cup Series.

Bowling Green Hotspots SeriesBy Amanda Matthews

Pulse Editor

We have had humid, hot 80-degree weather this past week. Staying cool can be a breeze if you know the right places to be in Bowling

Green this summer. Here are some local hotspots where you can cool off when the

temperature gets too high.

City Pool and Waterpark, located at 520 Conneaut Ave., is a good place to go when you just can’t beat the heat. The pool in-cludes a water slide and diving boards for the more adventurous swimmers. If heights aren’t your thing, you can float around in the lazy river. There is also a lap pool to use for exercise. For the younger crowd, the pool has a splash pad. Swimming can be tiring, but you can refuel by heading to the concession stand located inside the City Pool and Waterpark. Hours:

Monday - Friday | 1 p.m. - 8:45 p.m. (Opens one hour earlier for pass holders)Saturday - Sunday | 11 a.m. - 8:45 p.m. (Opens one hour earlier for Pass Holders) A student pass is $70 for residents or $80 for non-residents. You can get a day pass for $5 (resident) or $5.50 (non-resident). For a full list of prices visit: http://www.bgohio.org/departments/parks-and-recreation/family-aquatic-complex/pool-pass-prices

The University Ice Arena is open throughout the sum-mer to help you chill out if you really want to escape the heat. Be prepared; it can get a little cold at the ice rink, so you might want to dress in layers to make sure you stay warm enough. If you don’t know how to skate, the arena offers Learn To Skate sessions. To learn more, go to http://www.bgsu.edu/ice-arena.html

Summer Season (June 16 - August 29, 2014) Thursday | 7 p.m. - 8:50 p.m. Friday | 6 p.m. - 7:50 p.m.

Cheap Skates: Monday - Friday | 12:15 p.m. - 1:15 p.m. Rates: •General Admission: $5.00 •BGSU Student/Faculty/Staff: $3.00 (with a University ID) •Group Rate: $3.00 (Reservation one week in advance, 10+) •Pre-School (4 and under): $3.00 •Skate Rental: $3.00

If the weather isn’t scorching hot, head out to Simpson Gar-den Park, located at 1291 Conneaut Ave. This park is the perfect escape from a hectic schedule and has many gardens, includ-ing a Japanese Peace Garden, two small ponds and a waterfall. There is a Children’s Discovery Garden where kids can explore and learn about wildlife. If you look close enough in the pond located in this section, you will find fish and possibly a frog or two. Trails lead you throughout the park, making for a good place to get some exercise. However, if you get too hot while enjoying the park, head over to one of the gazebos to get some shade. If you want some quiet time, the Peace Garden is the perfect place for you.

Because the exhibit was attracting so many people, Melissinos said they began reaching out to other muse-ums about possibly hosting the exhibition. Sure enough, museums across the country were jumping at the chance to host it, as was the Toledo Museum of Art.

“We jumped on it very quickly because we know it’s a cultural phenomenon,” Kelly Garrow, director of Communications at the Toledo Museum of Art, said.

According to Garrow, after releasing their brief but entertaining advertisement for the exhibition, word of the event blew up on social media. After three short days of advertising, Garrow said the video had over 700 shares from the Toledo Museum of Art’s home page.

In its first three days alone, the museum welcomed roughly 1,000 people to its home of numerous video games and consoles.

“It’s definitely met our expectations,” Garrow said.

Bill Carter of Holland, Ohio, an active gamer since 1989, was one of thousands to attend the exhibition’s open-ing celebration. Dressed from head to toe in the uniform of his favorite game and charac-ter, Mario, Carter said he loved what he saw and said the exhi-bition stood as “legitimacy for gamers everywhere.”

“They’re not just a fad, they’re a lifestyle,” he said.

Video games have been around for over 40 years and in that brief window of exis-tence, they have seen their share of challenges in being deemed a legitimate medium of art.

“It’s like any other form of

media that reaches a tipping point in culture, whether it’s comic books, television, radio, printed word, what-ever, when it grabs a hold of society and people gravi-tate towards it, there may be a portion of people who don’t fully understand it,” Melissinos said.

Melissinos said rather than railing against some-thing that they don’t under-stand, people should instead take it upon themselves to learn about what they don’t understand so they may bet-ter communicate and inter-act with their children, as Melissinos’s own parents did for him.

A child of the 1970s, Melissinos grew up in Flushing, N.Y., and was enthralled by video games from the start. He began pro-gramming at the age of nine after obtaining a “sears pong machine” and by age 12, he finished developing his first

game on a Commodore VIC-20 (an 8-bit home computer with 5Kb of RAM). With the support of his family and drive to be a part of some-thing he loved, Melissinos spent much of his life dedi-cating every moment to video games.

After years of devel-oping for the likes of Sun Microsystems, where he was the company’s chief evan-gelist and chief gaming offi-cer, as well as winning the Ambassador Award in 2013 (an award that honors those who have helped advance the game industry to a better place), Melissinos said it was time to help others.

“It was a labor of love and I’m glad to have done it, but it’s time to help and illumi-nate the work of others and I’m going to keep doing it for as long as I can,” he said.

Although much of his work now focuses on display-ing the works of other devel-opers and artists, Melissinos is still very much an activist for the exploration and con-tinuation of video games.

“I think it’s incumbent upon us and society and those of us who are raising the next generation to make sure we understand them rather than dismiss them because guess what, video games didn’t destroy the world, they didn’t destroy our youth,” he said. “They’re now a global phenomenon that we’re using in education, in healthcare, in research and many other facets of life.”

An avid activist for the medium he loves, Melissinos and co-producer of the exhibi-tion Georgina Goodlander spent years making sure the exhibition saw the light of day.

The exhibition holds 80 different games on 20 differ-ent consoles and is strategi-cally laid out in five genera-

tions of gaming. Much of the footage shown at the exhibi-tion includes interviews and gameplay footage conducted by Melissinos himself, and even the games and consoles are a personal collection from Melissinos and his friends and family in the industry.

Melissinos urges those who do not understand to not dismiss video games at face value, but rather to observe and analyze them in depth.

“Look at the artistry of the environment, look at what these characters are going through, look at how this one game is ref lective of what’s happening in our world today,” he said. “The technology just allows artists to tell a bigger story, a more descriptive story.”

Melissinos also said there is something in video games for everyone and they serve as a “universal language of expression.” To demonstrate, Melissinos said he showed one of the games at the exhibition, “Flower” for the PlayStation 3, to an elderly couple.

By the time they were done exploring the intricate universe of the new-genera-

tion game, the two swore that they were going to buy both the game and console as soon as they could because it was something they could see themselves doing every day.

The exhibition will be at the Toledo Museum of Art until the end of September and will then move on to the next stop of its three-year tour. For all who attend in the next several months, Melissinos said they will bear witness to a great installation of the original exhibit and a condensed version of his 40-year-long experience with video games.

“When you see [the pieces in the exhibition], it is my experience with video games for over the past 40 years, told through the incredible work of thousands and thousands of story tellers and artists and musicians,” he said. “That’s really what it’s all about: the people that devoted their lives to this incredible medi-um, and to help illuminate that and bring recognition to these people has been an honor for me.”

earned more money, but it sends a good message,” she said.

The University is also looking to help students create more strong memories and bonds with the campus, Jill Carr, vice president of student affairs, said.

Carr said the student orientation, advising and registration (SOAR) pro-gram is important in this process.

“[SOAR is] a key entry program … that helps build that strong connection,” she said.

She praised the program and its student leaders and said according to surveys, 96 percent of parents are satis-fied with the program.

The University is also focusing on improving operational efficiency and reducing costs of operating.

Funding from the state is another source of revenue for the University, Stoll said.

However, the University has been earning less state funding in the past years because the state has changed

its standards. Instead of funding being based on

the “input,” or enrollment, the state now funds based on the “output,” or students leaving with degrees, Stoll said.

This year the University earned 23 percent of its funding through state appropriations, compared with 31.6 percent in 2010.

Stoll said there are still challenges ahead for the University seeking to decrease its spending.

“There are still challenges with the recovery that’s been happening over the last couple of years,” she said.

The board approved a three-year extension of President Mazey’s con-tract. Her current contract runs for two years, which means she will con-tinue at the University through June 2019, David Kielmeyer, University spokesperson, said.

Mazey will also receive a 1 percent increase in salary, or an increase of about $4,000.

During the meeting, the board also approved replacement of Greek housing, a $30 million dollar project.
