Fun with the environment in mind

By Claire Morrow Reporter Environmentally friendly fun was clearly the overarching theme of the 8th Annual Community Earth Day Celebration. The Montessori School of Bowling Green held their yearly event with the help of over 20 local partners.

Targeting community members of all ages, each organization was given the opportunity to present their cause and teach guests about preserving and appreciating the environment. Activities such as planting flowers, taking nature hikes and practicing archery were among the included activities.

Jamie Sands, the communications specialist and volunteer coordinator for the Wood County Park District, has been helping with the event for a number of

Earth Day raises awareness for environrnentally friendly behaviors. years. She expected a substantial turn out especially with all of the local partners involved.

“There is a lot of information that is beneficial towards adults along with a majority of hands on activities for kids and families. We expect a couple hundred, but there is plenty of room outside so it never seems crowded.” Sands said.

Associate Director of the Montessori School Jessica Hover said the event has brought out around 400 attendees each year. With the various events and planning in preparation for the Earth Day celebration, Hover maintains there is a diverse range of activities suited to guest of any age.

Hover has experienced the growth and positive feedback from the community for this event over the years and was satisfied with the increasing involvement.

“It started with a few local organizations to educate the community about the environment. Now there are over 20 partners. It’s become so big now with the archery, the energy bike and the book mobile — there is so much more each and every year.”

Hover also feels the event positively impacts the community members as well as the students who learn from the various organizations at the celebration.

“It makes a great impact. Students have come year after year and the activities change every year to educate the public,” she said.

Besides the local organizations and those who traveled from neighboring communities, the Office of Campus Sustainability at the University was also partnering to teach the community about new sustainability initiatives on campus.

“BGSU has a pledge to be carbon neutral by the year 2030 and with that comes our Climate Action Plan and three main goals to reduce our footprint.”

Senior Intern for Campus Sustainability Joshua Chamberland said.

Literacy event features author

By Natasha Ivery Reporter

Rain, wind and a chilly temperature didn’t stop this year’s annual Literacy in The Park event this past Saturday at the University.

The event, sponsored by The Judith and Joseph Conda Family, the University, the Martha Giesling Reading Center and others, was held in the Perry Field House and featured keynote speaker and author Patricia Polacco, various vendors from the University and the Bowling Green community.

The history of Literacy in the Park began 13 years ago, according to Dr. Tim Murnen, director of the School of Teaching and Learning at the University.

“It started in 2004 [earliest event was in 2006] and it really began out of having experts in the community who care about literacy, and we wanted the opportunity to bring in a named author and just be a hub for literacy,” said Dr. Murnen. “We want to create a buzz about reading for not only the little kids, but also evolve for the older kids and their families as well.”

This year, the event was divided by vendor into various “literacies,” which Dr. Murnen explained that there isn’t just one clean definition.

“If there’s a clean definition of literacy, the one we tend to reference is the ability to make and construct meaning of the world around you using signs and symbol systems,” said Dr. Murnen.

“Literacy is not just defined as the ability to read a book. There are many acts of multimodal literacy.”

For reading literacy, there was the BGSU Reading Center that provided puppets, tutoring and activities, while Books for Buddies provided resources on how to collect and distribute donated books. Kids made their own bookmarks with BGSU Library’s CRC, and Alpha Lambda Delta, Pi Eta Sigma played “Swat That Sight Word.”

Other literacy stations included visual literacy with The Toledo Museum of Art and the University’s Early Childhood Organization, physical education literacy with the Falcon Swing Society, safety literacy with the Bowling Green Fire Department, nutritional literacy with BGSU Dietetics, and digital, music, science, financial, cultural, writing, math and environmental literacy stations with a host of other vendors, including the Wood County Public Library Bookmobile, The Plastic Shatners and therapy dogs. Each student also received a bag with one of Patricia Polacco’s books and other goodies.

The beginning planning stages of Literacy in the Park takes a lot of planning and research one full year ahead of the event, usually the previous August.

“We waited a while until all the contracts were in place to announce it, but to get an author like that, you have to plan a year in advance,” said Katherine Hickey, co-planner of the vent and graduate reading student.

“Ottawa Hills Schools in Toledo suggested that we bring in author Patricia Polacco in one of our debriefing meetings, so our partnerships with elementary schools and local libraries really help

Finals Week BY: CHANLER BROWN

“Jennifer Lawrence.

She’s hilarious and someone called me Katniss once. Also, I would totally trip up the stairs if I won an Oscar.”

Editor-in-chief farewell When I was sneaking to my family desktop at 9 years old to write short stories at 4 a.m. I never thought I’d be the editor-inchief of a newspaper.

I thought my farewell column would be easy because as a junior, I’m not actually leaving, but it’s bringing up all kinds of memories and thoughts about the future.

I met some of my best friends working at The BG News. I also met some really cool BG News editors from before my time through internships, and they have become staples in my life as best friends and mentors.

The BG News is a family, and watching people come and go over the last few years has been sad but exciting. I’m so proud of this year’s seniors and all they have accomplished, and I know they will do even more great things as they enter the professional world. There’s no describing the kind of connections you make when you’re approaching deadline at 1 a.m. and want to break a story for the next days paper.

For three years, I’ve been developing these connections and falling in love

media.

We struggled this year to get accustomed to our new surroundings. It’s not easy to be full-time students with the ambitions of being full-time reporters. Our staff is small and works countless hours to bring the best news to our readers, and I hope we’ve been able to do that for the most part this year.

Next year, we’ll do even better.

While I won’t be the editor of The BG News anymore, I will be working as a student director of Falcon Media, our umbrella organization encompassing The BG News, BG24 News, WBGU, Falcon Radio and several other publications. Through the Falcon Media efforts, I’ll be working with leaders of all the individual organization to bring the best content over several platforms to reach the largest audiences in the way they want to get their news most.

I’m looking forward to the changes coming in the near future.

In the meantime, The BG News is being left in great hands. Hannah Finnerty, the current city editor, and Keefe Watson, the current

with journalism and hard news. When I took the position of editor-in-chief about a year ago, I was full of excitement for all the things I wanted to do this year, and full of fear I’d mess it all up. However, I had an amazing staff that made the operation run pretty smoothly.

Over the past year I saw the last newspaper come out of our old office in West Hall, and if I remember right I cried. There’s something sentimental about losing the place your career really got its start. But that’s just a building — not my team and supporters.

I also got to oversee the first newspaper and Key Magazine created in the new Kuhlin Center from start to finish. We are evolving as a media field and as University student

Senior columnists reflect on experiences at BGSU Greetings fellow falcons, regular columnist Lauren Fitz and Forum Editor Sarah Smith here. As the end of our senior year draws to a close, we thought it would be fun to reflect on what we’ve accomplished in our four years here at the University.

Sarah: Item number one on the list, drink a legal joint (found at Brathaus), those things will get ya. Yay or nay?

Lauren: I hate crowds and going out, so if it’s not wine and Netflix in my bed, it probably didn’t happen. Next one: choosing your alliance to Myles (RIP Myles) or Pollyeyes. I’m a big fan of carbs, so this one is hard for me, but I have to go with Pollyeyes. Stuffed breadsticks for life.

Sarah: I’m pretty sure my diet consists of 98.7 percent carbs, so this is hard for me too, but definitely Pollyeyes.

You just can’t beat those breadsticks.

Speaking of food, frequenting El Zarape is a requirement. What’s your order?

Lauren: El Zarape has this one dinner that’s similar to the dinner I get at the Mexican restaurant by my house, so that’s my go-to. Add in a mango margarita and endless chips and salsa and I’m set for the rest of the night.

What about you?

Sarah: Vegetarian quesadilla. It comes with guacamole and makes me so full that I want to explode, in the best way possible. Also, NO WAY! I get the mango margarita as well! Sometimes when I’m feeling extra crazy I tell them to mix some strawberry in there with it.

Lauren: Let’s move on to academics, which is the real reason we all came to BG. What’s the most interesting class you’ve ever taken? For me, I took Music and Mania in my freshman year here, and it was all about the way the music has induced fan mania over time (like Beatlemania in the 60s) and how its portrayed in different musical genres,

like Broadway and operas.

Sarah: Throughout my four years I would sporadically decide to take theater classes random semesters and I always loved them. They had nothing to do with my major, but my classes consisted of doing fun skits and improv and it was a nice break from writing papers and giving speeches. Enough about academics. Something that I’m seriously going to miss a lot is the city of Bowling Green in general and all of the shops and restaurants downtown.

From buying records at Finders to over-caffeinating myself at Flatlands and/or Grounds for Thought, BG never stopped making me feel at home.

Lauren: So, as we’ve already established, I love food so I’m going to miss all of the food places downtown.

My bank account, however, will be much happier. I’m also going to miss Murder Ink because that’s where I got my first tattoo and immediately started thinking about all the other tattoos I want in the future. And though it’s currently not open (but hopefully will open again soon), Corner Grill holds an incredibly special place in my heart.

Sarah: I owe all of my success to food. What else helped you get through the long four years?

Student media at the University is full of insanely talented people right now, and together we have so many opportunities to do great things in news.

Please reach out to me at my personal email hrshive@bgsu.edu with any comments or

Lauren: Netflix and Hulu are lifesavers. I owe the majority of my sanity to Netflix (shout-out to my best friend and her mother for feeding my binge-watching habit). And thank goodness for Hulu so I can get my fill of the “Real Housewives” and catch up on episodes of “Scandal” that I miss because I watch other things when it’s on. Oogling at my (many) TV boyfriends also helped too.

Sarah: Netflix and just having ridiculously awesome friends kept me sane all of these years.

Lauren: And, last but most definitely not least, is joining The BG News.

Obviously, I accomplished that as a regular columnist and the selfproclaimed TV fanatic on staff.

Sarah: We keep talking about all of the things we’re going to miss about BG, and that for me, includes YOU! Working with the awesome staff at the paper has definitely been a highlight of my college career. The opportunites I’ve had and the connections I’ve made have been amazing. OK, this is getting too cheesy, I digress.

Lauren: Well, now it’s going to get sappy. It’s been great working with you, and everyone on staff, this year.

Class-wise, senior year has kicked my butt, but knowing that I have a whole new family to constantly complain and vent to made me so happy. Plus, I’m sure my roommate loved not hearing me complain as much. Sure, there’s times where BG doesn’t handle things the way they should, but, overall, I’ve had an amazing four years here and will most likely look back fondly. Now, if only we could do something about the wind...

“Handmaid’s Tale” a horror story

By Jennifer Verzuh Pulse Editor There’s a moment in Hulu’s new original series “The Handmaid’s Tale” in which the protagonist Offred (Elizabeth Moss) compares herself to the foolish female heroine of a horror film. Through a clever and revealing voiceover device the series employs, Offred tells us that just like the girl in slasher movies who goes down to check the basement despite having a bad feeling, she’s about to do something incredibly risky and, frankly, stupid that could result in her undoing.

While “Handmaid’s Tale” would technically be classified as a dystopian series, it couldn’t be more terrifying.

The show, based on Margaret Atwood’s seminal 1985 novel, incorporates some of the best and most intriguing elements of the horror genre.

One of the things that marks a quality horror film is its ability to tap into real societal fears and social issues. Looking at the best horror films of the last few years you can see how they effectively employ this: “Get Out” explores racism, the eerie and dread-inducing “The Witch” from last year relies on repressive religious customs and family dynamics for its scares, “The Babadook” uses its monster as an embodiment of grief and “It Follows” addresses attitudes towards sex. “Handmaid’s Tale” continues in that vein, though perhaps a little more directly. The series is built upon misogyny, sexism and what can happen when supposedly good men stand by and do nothing as the women in their lives are wronged.

The show takes place in Gilead, a near-future society that has overtaken the United States. It’s rigidly religious, militaristic, and extremely patriarchal.

Women are no longer able to own property or work, and are being forced into various

“One of the things that marks a quality horror film is its ability to tap into real societal fears and social issues..”

levels of servitude. The head of this society are the male Commanders. Offred is a handmaid to one such Commander and his wife. A handmaid is a woman who, in age where infertility runs rampant, is still able to have children, and acts as a vehicle for Commanders and their infertile wives

to have children. They’re repeatedly raped while the men’s wives are present on the bed with them, not allowed to speak or move freely, and expected to act grateful, constantly under the watch of the country’s restrictive and violent police force. In a time when women are

taking to the streets around the country protesting their rights, and legal challenges are being made to women’s access to contraception and abortion, the series feels extraordinarily timely and not entirely impossible, and that’s what makes it so absolutely horrifying.

The similarities the show shares with the horror genre extend beyond subject matter. The series is shot, edited, and acted in a manner that seeks to create an underlying sense of dread and tension that’s a staple in these movies from “Halloween” to “Don’t Breathe.”

The show’s cast — particularly Moss, Alexis Bledel (fellow handmaid Ofglen), and Yvonne Strahovski — give brilliantly restrained performances, that somehow still manage to show the sadness, frustration, grief and rage within these women that they’re struggling to hide.

The uncomfortable and intense closeups and muted, gloomy color palette only seek to drive this home.

Many people tend to equate scary movies with gore, but the best directors know not to go overboard and realize what isn’t shown is just as significant as what is. While the series is by no means grotesque or overly bloody, it doesn’t shy away from violence.

One crucial scene in the series pilot captures this very well. Offred and the other handmaids in the community are gathered together as the zealous leader of the handmaid’s presents a man to them who she claims committed rape.

As punishment for his crime she invites the women to do anything they like with him. The women, Offred include, act with intense and astounding cruelty and violence, kicking and swarming him. It’s a shocking moment that, despite showing little gore, is very disturbing.

Horror at it’s core should upset, challenge, scare and unsettle its audience.

And with that in mind, “The Handmaid’s Tale” is one the best additions to the genre in recent memory.

“The Leftovers” final season its best

By Jacob Clary Pulse Reporter “The Leftovers,” one of HBO’s most underrated series, has returned for its third and final season and it doesn’t disappoint.

“The Leftovers” is based off the book by the same name by Tom Perrotta. This final season brings back the characters that viewers have loved, and gives us a great storyline to watch each episode. This review is being written after the first two episodes have been released, so I haven’t seen the other episodes, but the episodes I have seen have left me excited to see how the series concludes.

“The Leftovers” stars Justin Theroux, who plays the main character Kevin Garvey, and the main premise of the show is that one day, around two percent of the world’s population vanished from the Earth. The third season starts off a couple weeks prior

to the seven year anniversary of this event, and takes place three years after the events of season two.

To begin, I love the premise of the show.

It’s an interesting premise to think about, whether watching the show, reading the book, or doing neither. Thinking about the

situation that each character is in is actually something that I think about.

Also, the performances for each character is stellar. Justin Theroux nails the role of Kevin Garvey. The series hinges on how well Theroux can portray Garvey, and it is great. “The Leftovers” is very good about

having interesting character development throughout the whole series. Due to the show being over a long period of time, seven years, each character would change, and that’s one of the best parts of the series.

Seeing how each character changes is great, and this final season brings those characters to the forefront.

“The Leftovers” has gotten better as each season has gone on, with the first season being the weak point, and then the second being the better of the two. The third season so far has been better than the previous seasons, and I believe that it will continue that tradition. I have always been a fan of conclusions in media, I just love the end. This series looks to be ending on a high point. “The Leftovers” is a great series, and this third season is a great watch.

I recommend this series if you’re a fan of character-driven shows or shows that make you think, you won’t be disappointed. HBO Go has the entire series

Lea Michele fans will enjoy album

By Lauren Fitz Pulse Reporter As a former, and sometimes still, huge Leanatic, I was excited four years ago when I heard that Lea Michele, my idol, my role model, was coming out with an album. That album was 2014’s “Louder,” and it was a valiant first effort that had its highs and lows. And now, three years later, Michele’s sophomore album, “Places,” has been released.

Much like “Louder,” “Places” has its own strengths and weaknesses. Michele’s vocals are still perfect as ever, which could almost be one of her biggest weaknesses.

On Broadway, yes, she needs to make sure to hit the notes perfectly each time. But “Places” isn’t Broadway, even if she wanted the songs on the album to be showtunesinspired. A lot of the tracks could have been better if Michele let some rawness into her vocals (I know it’s possible; her rendition of “Make You Feel My Love” from “Glee” proves it).

Michele proves that slow-tempo ballads with soaring notes are what she’s the most comfortable with. That being said, the first two tracks “Love is Alive” and “Heavy Love” have notes that seem awkwardly placed and makes Michele’s perfect voice seem

just not as perfect, and not in a good way.

But the most heartbreaking song on the album is the last track, “Hey You.” On Twitter, Michele had described the song as the sequel to “If You Say So,” the song she wrote after Cory Monteith’s death in 2013. “Hey You” is like another love letter to Monteith and will be sure to make even the casual Monchele fan’s heart hurt.

Michele’s problem is that she’s become more well-known doing cover songs for a successful TV show (that become much less successful as it time went on) and was known for her work on Broadway. Overall, a lot of songs seem to blend together on the album and it’s hard to distinguish between them, as the themes all seem to be the same.

With how versatile Michele is, I expected more from her. “Louder” seemed all over the place in terms of the songs that were on the album. For “Places,” it’s as if she decided to scrap anything sounding almost too pop-y and focus on one specific genre.

It should have worked, but it just doesn’t.

If a future album of Michele’s can find that perfect balance of pop and ballad, she’ll be in her happy place and will have her perfect album.

“Places” is available for streaming on Spotify and is available for download in the iTunes library. The bonus album is available for purchase from Target.

us,” said Dr. Murnen. “We ask what the kids are reading, who’s that red hot author that is up and coming-we look at trends, what do the kids want to see.”

Patricia Polacco, this year’s author and keynote speaker from the event, is from Lansing, Michigan, and has Russian and Ukrainian roots with a bachelor’s, master’s, and Ph.D in art and history and is an international advocate for children’s rights. Her books are famous for using vivid paintings and colors from her ethnic culture and tells stories from her culture and on difficult subjects with advanced language.

“Patricia has authored over 115 children’s books and is very well known,” said Hickey. “What’s special about Polacco-you learn this by reading her books-is that she’s autobiographical, she takes snippets of her life and places them into a story.

She keeps themes of family, overcoming things, self worth and tradition in her books.”

Polacco spoke at 10 a.m and 12 p.m, talking about her family history and one of her books

called “The Keeping Quilt.” Polacco expressed her excitement to speak at the event and talk to children about the importance of reading and family history.

“I’m overjoyed that BGSU allowed me to speak at an event that is so important to young students and learning,” said Polacco. “It’s so important for kids to understand the world around them by learning about their past and family history, which is kind of the main theme I use.”

Jennifer Riddler, reading graduate student and the volunteer coordinator for this year’s event, said it was hectic but worth it.

“I rounded up all the volunteers, gave directions, handled food donations and so may other things,” said Riddler. “We had 500 families pre-register and about 1500 folks at the event, so it was a success despite the rain.”

Sean and Dawn Riddler brought their young daughter Lily to the event for the first time and and appreciated the variety of vendors and activities.

“It was awesome,” said Sean Riddler. “It was a lot bigger than we expected, and I loved the fact that it wasn’t just reading, there was science, music, math and everything. Lily loved making slime.”

Spring

By Alexander Schiavone Guest Writer The recent murder of a female Ohio State student who grew up just 15 miles from Bowling Green has many thinking about student safety on campus and in the community.

“The BGSU Police Department is always evaluating methods to improve safety and security,” University Police Chief Michael Campbell said. “This may focus on things such as our escort service, educational training, officer training or emergency notification

methods. Technology and best practices continue to change and update. Constant evaluation is key to providing for a safe and secure campus community.”

One tool to help keep students safe is technology. New apps are being released for smartphones often and one such app is Clandestine’s Lifeline Response app.

According to Clandestine’s Lifeline Response website, it is a safety app that has different ways of alerting authorities without even dialing the phone. One way is the timer

BG ranks for women owned businesses

By Meredith Siegel Reporter Owning a business takes a great work ethic, strong organization skills and a willingness to take risks. In Bowling Green, Ohio, more and more women have been taking on the challenge.

In Bowling Green there are 669 women-owned firms according to the United States Census Bureau. This is in comparison to the 790 male-owned firms in Bowling Green. Women-owned businesses make up 40 percent of stores in Bowling Green.

While women have had to work for their right to own a business, Bowling Green, as a whole, is generally supportive of women who want to own a business.

Prudy Brott, owner of the Sunset Bistro and Bowling Green townie, has a “Women-Owned Business” sticker in the window, right next to the front door, of her restaurant.

Brott grew up in Bowling Green and her family still lives here. One of her siblings teaches psychology at Bowling Green State University while the other owns the tattoo and piercing shop, Broadwing, in downtown Bowling Green.

Brott started working in restaurants when she was 14 and has worked her way up to owning one. She ran a different restaurant operation in Colorado but came back home to open Sunset Bistro in her home town.

She believes that “hard workers are going to succeed.” Also, Bowling Green put on a Women in Business day, which has helped her success.

“They gave me a sticker, and I thought, ‘well that’s really neat.’ So I stuck it on the window and about ten minutes later we were packed. We were on a wait and there were people waiting all over, because they came out to celebrate women-owned businesses,” she said.

Women-owned firms in Bowling Green do not reflect the population, as according to the Census Bureau women make up 52 percent of the people in Bowling Green.

The number of women-owned firms could increase with the support of the Bowling Green community.

Brott said, “I think people respect that a woman has gone into business for herself and people are supportive. I mean, it’s great. I don’t know if it would

be different if I was a male, but people definitely support the idea of a womanowned business.”

While Bowling Green is reaching closer towards a more equitable number of women-owned firms, Ohio as a whole has more work to do.

Women-owned businesses make up 34 percent of all the businesses in the state. Female people make up 51 percent of the population in Ohio, according to the Census Bureau.

Stacie Banfield is another owner of a business in downtown Bowling Green.

She owns Mode Elle, a boutique.

She has a communication degree from the University of Toledo. She is also the mother of two boys and opened Mode Elle as a mobile boutique, where Banfield would travel to women’s homes and sell them clothes. In 2015 she opened the store full time.

Banfield talked about the benefits of being a women-owned business that come from being in Ohio. She said, “The only statistical benefit that you have are different tax breaks.”

Banfield does not believe that gender has a big impact on how successful someone can be or on her success, however.

She said “I’m a strong believer in you get out what you put in. I don’t expect to be handed things.”

Like Banfield and Brott, most women who are looking to own a business do not expect to be handed success.

According to a 2016 article in “Entrepreneur,” women own 30 percent of all small businesses and employ 7.9 million people. But, despite this relative success, women are still finding it difficult to get funding. That same article states only seven percent of venture capital investment money is given to women-owned firms.

Universally, women are still looking for equality in the professional world.

Makayla Morgan, a communication disorders major, said, “I am in a female dominated field and am still completing my undergraduate degree.

I will not encounter too many men fighting for my position because of

the nature of the field. However, in preparing for for life after school I can say that I have learned many tips that make it clear in professional settings I need to keep my eyes open at all times to be sure that I’m not being underpaid or underappreciated because of my gender.”

Despite the struggles of being a woman-owned business and because of the local support from communities for female business owners, the number of these firms increased 44 percent between 1997 and 2007, according to a study done by the U.S. Department of Commerce. This is twice as fast as the rate of male-owned firms.

Morgan, who self-identifies as a feminist, said she does not go out of her way to support women-owned businesses specifically, but she does like to support locally owned businesses.

While in the United States as a whole there is a dominance of male-owned businesses, small communities like Bowling Green are doing their part to support women-owned firms.

SPORTS Baseball loses two of three to Miami May 01, 2017 | PAGE 10

By Zane Miller Assistant Sports Editor The Falcons baseball team fell in two out of three games in their series against the Miami RedHawks, getting swept in a Friday doubleheader 10-4 and then 9-6, before winning the series finale on Sunday 3-1.

“When we play the three phases, we have a chance to be a pretty good ball club,” Falcons head coach Danny Schmitz said.

“Hopefully the guys will realize that and continue to get better, that’s our goal each day.”

The first game of the Friday doubleheader started off with Miami getting a solo home run in the first inning to go up 1-0, before the Falcons rebounded with an RBI single by freshman outfielder Jake Wilson. However, Miami countered in the fourth with another home run, this time scoring two runs for a 3-1 lead.

The sixth saw the Falcons offense begin a rally, as senior outfielder Greg Basalyga drove in an RBI double, which was followed by a two RBI double from sophomore designated hitter Joe McGuinness to give the Falcons a 4-3 lead. The advantage would not last long, though, as Miami came back in the seventh with an RBI double, RBI single and a three run homer to take an 8-4 lead. Miami plated two more in the eighth with a two RBI double to claim the 10-4 victory.

“We got to enjoy our lead for about three pitches,” Schmitz said. “After that, they got a base hit and a double and the game was tied, then after that, give them credit, they tacked on four more and put the game out of reach.”

The second game had Miami getting on the board in the first again with a solo home run. Miami then added to the lead in the third with a three run homer and another solo shot to go up 5-0 early. The Falcons

got a run back in the bottom of the third, as senior infielder Nick Glanzman came home on a wild pitch, but Miami countered with another solo home run in the fourth.

However, in the bottom of the fourth the Falcon offense closed the gap significantly as sophomore designated hitter Riley Minorik walked with the bases loaded to drive in a run, then sophomore infielder Cam Daugherty hit a three RBI double to make it 6-5. In the fifth, the Falcons tied the game up as junior infielder Derek Drewes scored on a passed ball. Miami regained the advantage with an RBI single in the sixth, then grabbed two more runs in the eighth on a passed ball and RBI sacrifice fly. The Falcons were unable to come back late as Miami took the 9-6 win.

“We didn’t execute when we had the opportunity, whether it was offensively or defensively,” Schmitz said. “You don’t want to give teams extra outs and we did that and that came back to haunt us.”

As the game scheduled for Saturday was rained out, the final game of the series was moved to Sunday, where the Falcons scored early as junior catcher Justin Mott got things started with an RBI single. Sophomore outfielder Jeff Scott then followed it up with an RBI double, then Mott capped off the scoring as he came home on a wild pitch for a 3-0 lead.

Neither team scored again until the fifth, when Miami got on the board with an RBI double. However, senior pitcher Tony Landi and junior pitcher Kody Brown held Miami scoreless for the remainder of the game as the Falcons took the 3-1 victory.

“The pitching and defense shined today,” Schmitz said. “We had the one inning where we manufactured three runs and it held up for us.”

The team will next play on Friday, Saturday and Sunday on the road against the Ohio Bobcats.

Softball defeated against Akron

By Elias Faneuff Sports Reporter The Falcons softball team went 1-2 over the weekend against Mid-American Conference opponent the Akron Zips in what would be their final series at home this season. Akron took both of Friday’s games with scores of 6-1 and 3-2. The Falcons then finished strong in the final home game of the season winning 8-2.

The Falcons overall record currently stands at 24-29 and are 10-11 against MAC opponents. In addition, the team finished with an impressive 8-3 record when playing at Meserve Field.

“Overall, our at-bats got progressively better this weekend, and the confidence throughout our lineup got better,” BGSU head coach Sarah Willis said. “But, Akron came to play. They hit the ball well, played some great defense and took some hits away from us. All we can do is try to take care of one game at a time.”

In game one of Friday’s doubleheader, Akron produced offense early in the top of the second as sophomore pitcher Meredith Miller gave up five hits including an RBI double to right center and two RBI singles both towards left field which gave Akron a 3-0 lead. The Falcons got into scoring position in the bottom of the second following as junior infielder Chelsea Raker was walked and junior catcher Laine Simmons getting hit by a pitch putting runners on first and second with no outs. Junior second baseman Katee Hinkle would then try to sacrifice bunt to advance runners, but the Akron shortstop threw the ball over the first baseman’s head resulting in an error which got the Falcons an unearned run.

Akron would then score three more runs in the fifth and sixth innings and the Falcons couldn’t match Akron’s dominant hitting with 12 hits total in the game. Akron won easily by a score of 6-1.

In game two of Friday’s doubleheader, Akron took the early lead in the top of third following an RBI off a fielder’s choice and

an RBI double towards center field as Akron led 2-0. The Falcons responded quickly as the Falcons got into scoring position a runner on third with one out. Sophomore outfielder Alex Sorgi then successfully hit a bunt towards the pitcher and drove in a run with the team still trailing 2-1. A couple minutes later, the Falcons had the bases loaded with two outs. Laine Simmons was up to bat looking to drive in another run for the team, but was walked and The Falcons tied the game at two apiece. However, in the top of fourth, Akron responded with a home run towards right field as they retook the lead by score of 3-2. Akron held onto win despite only leaving three on base the entire game while the Falcons had nine left on base.

“This was a disappointing day,” Falcons head coach Sarah Willis said. “We didn’t take care of the things we needed to take care of, and we didn’t get the outcome we had hoped for.”

On Saturday, The Falcons took an early 4-0 lead through the first three innings led

by Katee Hinkle with two RBI’s in that span.

Akron would respond with a two RBI single towards center field which cut the deficit to two runs. With Akron gaining momentum, the Falcons scored four more runs in the fifth and sixth innings putting the game out of reach for the Zips. The Falcons took the victory and tallied 10 hits offensively.

“I think we finally realized we’ve got to put it all out there if we’re going to make the MAC Tournament, and we played BG softball today,” Katee Hinkle said. “It’s been a couple weekends since we’ve really played our game, and I think we found it today.

That started with the top of our lineup.

One through nine today, we really executed well.”

The Falcons wrap up the regular season this weekend on the road against the Kent State Golden Flashes. The first game will be on Friday in a single game matchup beginning at 3 p.m. Then on Saturday will be a doubleheader with the first game beginning at 1 p.m. and the second game expected to begin at 3 p.m.

Tobacco free campus considered

By Quentin Ison Reporter The Undergraduate Student Government has recently voted against a tobacco free policy and is writing a letter in opposition of the initiative. This is the second straight year USG has voted against the ban.

University students are concerned about their health and safety on campus in a smoked filled learning environement. Currently the University has a Clean Air Policy which permits smoking in designated areas.

Yet problems persist for many studies for a variety of reasons, mainly because the policy is hard to enforce and many students disobey the rule. The policy was originally intended to be student enforced.

“I often see students walking around campus puffing a cigarette on their walk to class. I feel this is inconsiderate to others because they are blowing smoke around people who don’t want to breathe in harmful toxins,” said freshman Austin Reese.

Designated smoking areas are few and far between. Many students who do smoke find it difficult to obey the policies set in place

“It is annoying to walk around people when they are smoking, the smell of smoke makes me feel nauseous and uncomfortable...”

due to this factor. Most of the designated areas can be found outside of many of the residence halls, dining facilities and educational buildings.

Some students who do smoke aren’t even aware of the designated smoking areas.

“I have never seen any signs that mark a designated area to smoke on campus, I truly don’t think people care about tobacco because most students are courteous about when and where we smoke.” said student Jon Krouse.

A tobacco free ban would include the use of e-cigarettes, vape pens, smokeless tobacco, hookah pens, cigars, cigarillos, pipes and chew.

The prevailing argument in favor of the stricter policy is that stopping all tobacco use as part of the inititaive would increase the level of health and peace of mind for all non-

smokers.

“It is annoying to walk around people when they are smoking, the smell of smoke makes me feel nauseous and uncomfortable.

I support a ban of all products on campus, I respect the others’ right to smoke but I feel that it is important to also respect our rights,” Reese said.

“The University would not be the first school to implement such a policy. Universities such as Toledo, Cleveland State, Miami University, Ohio and Ohio State Universities. I hope the possible ban will help to increase the awareness to the importance of health and safety we as a student body are entitled to have.”

Bookmobile brings literature to kids

ByAmber Jones Social Media Editor The Wood County Public Library caters to the community and nearby school districts with literacy outreach through the service of a bookmobile.

“The kids absolutely love it and it acts as a full-service library, just smaller and on wheels,” Bookmobile and Outreach Supervisor of Wood County District Public Library Katherine Lawn said.

With books and media for children to adults, the bookmobile has a variety of materials for people to choose from. Patrons aboard the bookmobile can check out materials with a library card or sign up for a library card.

“I can also help them with digital resources, and a computer is also available for people to utilize in the bookmobile,” Lawn said.

The purpose of the bookmobile is to reach school districts in the Wood County area that do not have public libraries.

“When they divided up Wood County into school districts, they decided that each school districts would have a home library, but many of them did not get their own school district library,” she said.

In addition to Bowling Green, the bookmobile provides services to Hoytville, Bradner, Risingsun,

Northwood and areas outside of Perrysburg.

The bookmobile has a bi-weekly schedule and during that time it has 17 community stops, where anybody who is in that area can come visit the bookmobile.

The bookmobile also collaborates with the University and other places for special events, but that is less than 1 percent of what it does.

“We have 13 daycare and school stops that are set on our monthly visiting schedule. We also go to some assistant living center,” Lawn said.

Lawn also does story time at daycare centers without the bookmobile in Bowling Green. She also makes deliveries to nursing homes and over 10 homebound library users.

“We recently reinstated a partnership that we had with the senior living center right next door where they provide lunch. So ‘Lunch and Lit’ is something that we do together just to provide books along with the meal services,” Lawn said.

April is a busy event month for the bookmobile.

Last week the bookmobile was at Court Street connect, this past Saturday it was at Literacy in the Park and its upcoming event will be Community Earth Day, which is a multiorganization program that has been done every year and will take place at the Montessori school in Bowling Green.

District, Wood County Library and many more organizations will be in attendance.

The bookmobile offers many activities to patrons depending on the stop and how much supplies it can bring.

“The library here is quite large so we are able to switch out materials to provide new activities wherever we go. We offer puzzles, sidewalk chalk and more involved activities for the kids that might highlight literacy skills or math technology and science skills. Some activities might be art-base, creative-base or storytelling,” Lawn said.

What is unique about the current bookmobile is that it is environmentally friendly and runs on compressed natural gas (CNG).

“There are no CNG stations in Bowling Green, to fill up so we actually plug it in overnight in the garage. We are slightly limited to our mileage because we can only go with what’s in our tank until we can come back and fill up for the next day,” Lawn said.

Since 1951, the bookmobile have been serving the Wood County area.

Lawn, who is an University alum (2007), began her current position as Bookmobile and Outreach Supervisor in late 2015.

She was hired to work in the Wood County District Public Library’s Children’s Place department in early 2008.

Campbell said the introduction of an app such as Lifeline Response app to campus could be possible depending on several factors.

One of those factors are financial. The Lifeline Response app is not free. A three year subscription is $3.75 per month. Multiplying that by 17,000 students turns it into a $63,750 monthly payment.

“I think BGSU is a very safe campus,” University student Katie Broniarczyk said.

“We sometimes think that we are invincible, but anything can happen. You can never be too safe.”

Vice President of Student Affairs Thomas Gibson is unfamiliar with the app, but says that there is not a cost too high for protecting students. If an incident happens, whether it is in town or a neighboring city, it is very concerning.

“The safety and wellbeing of our students is of my highest priority,” Gibson said. “I do believe that our campus is safe. Our annual security report, which highlights on-campus crime statistics, would support this belief.

However, I am always concerned about the safety and wellness of our students. So, any incident is one too many.”

Students are not always on campus.

Downtown Bowling Green is known for the many restaurants and nightlife activities that occur daily. Once students are outside of campus borders, safety drops significantly.

“Just like any other police department in the country, our police or law enforcement powers are limited to a specific jurisdiction,” Campbell said. “For us, this is limited to University owned property.”

There are certain ways around the jurisdiction aspect to ensure that students are safe.

“In order to give officers expanded powers to assist when needed, the University has entered into several different mutual aid agreements,” Campbell said. “For example, Bowling Green City Police and state of Ohio universities allow for an expanded jurisdiction

This still does not offer the same level of comfort as being on campus. Crime may be low around campus, but prevention mode must always be on.

“We must continue to be diligent in our efforts regarding on-campus and off-campus safety,” Gibson said. “Communication campaigns have been helpful in alerting students of an increase in crime on campus or in the immediate area.”

Some of the communication campaigns Gibson speaks of includes text alerts, posters, emails and flyers to deliver the safety information to students.

This is effective, but it does not stand out among other campuses doing the same thing. The University could be one of the first universities to offer the Lifeline Response app.

The University has the opportunity to be at the head of a trend that could improve student safety across the nation.

While students wait for the technology, looking out for one another remains vital.

“As a community, we must continue to BG News work together to ensure a safe by environment,” 1 column (2.4375”) 6” Gibson said. “See it, hear it, report it.”
