Come 2011, students will be able to enjoy foods grown in their own back yard -- more specifically from the roof of the new McDonald and Commons dining halls. “We’re hoping the University will allow students in the roof gardens to pick their own fruit,” said Undergraduate Student Government Senator, John Zachrich. “That’s about as fresh as food can get.” Both of the new dining halls, under heavy discussion at Monday’s USG meeting, will be the first in the country to receive platinum certification from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design system. Along with roof gardens, “carbon towers” have also enabled the University to achieve the highest LEED certification. Students will be able to eliminate

Competitive and amateur strongmen participated, lifting stones up to 290 pounds.

The two also participated in a juggling competition with rules similar to the basketball game, H-O-R-S-E, but using large weights. Durniat worked with LaPointe to develop a throwback to circus strongmen that would combine power and showmanship. “I did a single arm snatch with a bar he made, and he said, ‘Hey, what else can you do?,’” Durniat said. LaPointe suggested they work together to replicate a routine that had been popular in the ‘‘30s but not practiced since. “I went into the gym and started toying around with it, and right now I’m the only one around that is doing this routine,” Durniat said.

Obama raps GOP as ‘justsay-no crowd’ on economy By Erica Werner The Associated Press
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — Lumping Republicans together as a “just say no” crowd, President Barack Obama challenged his critics on Tuesday to explain why they have opposed his steps to help the economy rebound. Said Obama: “Tell us why doing nothing would be better for America.” In the latest campaign stop for his economic agenda, this one in struggling Ohio, Obama took concerted swipes at what he called the “unified, determined opposition of one party.” He said it is not too late for bipartisanship and appealed for it — but not until after criticizing those he said were badmouthing his efforts. “If the just-say-no crowd had won out — if we had done things the way they wanted to go — we’d be in a deeper world of hurt,” Obama said in the swing state of Ohio, where the unemployment rate is close to 11 percent, above the alreadyhigh nationwide average of near 10 percent. The president came to explain and defend the economic stimulus spending, tax credits, extended unemployment benefits and other help that he championed with support from mostly the Democrats in Congress. Without it, he said, “the steady progress we are beginning to see across America just wouldn’t exist.” Republicans have opposed the steep cost of Obama’s plans

“If the just-say-no crowd had won out — if we had done things the way they wanted to go — we’d be in a deeper world of hurt.” President Barack Obama and criticized the pace of the promised recovery, particularly on the key measure of jobs. His comments came on a day of closely watched primary elections in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Arkansas. Two Democratic senators — Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas — face stiff challenges from fellow Democrats who say the senators were not sufficiently loyal to party priorities. The president, meanwhile, is on a drive to show people that the country’s economy is getting better even as their individual situations may not be yet. He got out of Washington and donned a hardhat, goggles and a fire-retardant jacket while touring a hot, noisy plant where metal piping was being manufactured. And he acknowledged that some may not be impressed by a president swooping into town when all they want is to see the headline saying: “You’re hired.” Still, he tried to keep spirits up to employees at V&M STAR, a place he said is benefiting directly from his economic policies. The parent company of the V&M is spending $650 million to build a 1 million-square-foot mill in Youngstown now that the nearby Norfolk Southern railroad is building a spur, thanks

to money from last year’s stimulus act. To applause from the assembled workers, Obama said it would be the biggest industrial plant built in the region since a GM plant went up in nearby Lordstown in the 1960s. Overall, the U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 3.2 percent in the first three months of this year. In April, payroll jobs grew by 290,000, the most in four years. The unemployment rate rose to 9.9 percent as more people began or resumed job searches — a sign that more are feeling more optimistic about the job market. Obama tried to put the burden on Republicans for their opposition. “For all the things we’ve gotten done despite the unified, determined opposition of one party, imagine how much farther we could have gotten if I’d gotten a little help,” he said. His stop was the latest on White House to Main Street tour of towns and businesses, often in economically depressed regions. The president was in Buffalo, N.Y., last week, and before that made stops in Allentown, Pa., Charlotte, N.C., Savannah, Ga., and Quincy, Ill. His message has been consistent; the economy is beginning to recover thanks in part to his administration’s policies, many of them unpopular with voters.

Summer construction on campus will bring big changes to BGSU Dining By Bobby Waddle Reporter
With construction visibly affecting college life, it is common for students to wonder what benefits the changes will bring. In the case of the new McDonald dining hall, set to be opened August 2011, Chartwells plans to create a completely revamped and appetizing experience in conjunction with the University’s master plan. “There’s acknowledgement that our physical facilities impact the perception that people have about our campus,” project architect Marc Brunner said. He said the master plan is meant to utilize campus space better while trying to update the campus through projects like the dining hall. “It’s going to be a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility,” Residence Life director Michael Griffel said. “It’s going to be incredibly fresh; it’s going to be eye-popping.” He said partial demolition of McDonald West, including a space encompassing 280 beds, will make room for the new facility. Construction is set to begin on June 1, and the outer shell of the building should be completed by Thanksgiving in time for interior construction during the winter, University Dining Services director Michael Paulus said. The 32,000 square-foot facility will replace the current dining facility built in 1965. “The entire building has to come down,” Paulus said, citing plumbing, equipment and electrical issues among the facility’s problems. “[We are working] in conjunction with the University to build upon their core mission of recruitment and retention, and a good way to do that is through facilities.” Chartwells plans for the new facility to be the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) platinum cer-
tified dining facility in the nation, featuring solar energy panels and wind power. The wind power will help charge the electric catering vehicles that will travel across campus, and a rainwater collector will be used to nourish the rooftop garden where crops will go directly to the kitchen for preparation. The rest of the building will feature retail outlets, with Chartwells considering Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin Robbins as options. “Everything about this building … is going to speak food,” said executive chef Patrick Hannan, emphasizing the goal of developing more intimacy between students, faculty and staff. “We can do that through their stomachs.” Hannan said they will incorporate Pulse-On-Dining (POD), a system specifically designed for the facility to encourage customer involvement in the creation of meals. He said features will include stations where students can make their own dishes (omelets, cereals, etc.) as well as a station where students can converse with a cook as meals are prepared. Hannan will also be running a teaching kitchen in the center of the dining room on a daily basis for students to view. “I like to concentrate on method and technique,” Hannan said. “You’ll understand a lot more than an extension of a recipe, you’ll understand what makes it up in building a foundation of flavor.” Chartwells’ goal for the dining center is much loftier than developing culinary skills, however. The POD experience is meant to create a new level of campus community by establishing a comfortable atmosphere with bistro-bar type seating, soft-seating and couches with small cocktail tables. “This should be your kitchen, this should be your living room. We want you to use it and be there,” Paulus said, commenting on the comparatively rushed atmosphere of
the current dining hall. “‘Eat and get out’ is really the philosophy, and that dynamic has changed. We want it inviting, where it’s comfortable and you can hang out because it’s your space.” Integral to creating a freeroaming kitchen would be to alter the current BG1 Card system to a one price, fixed swipe system, Paulus said, in addition to the option of paying with cash. Meal plan would be used to pay for a certain number of all-you-can-eat trips each semester. The option to go straight to the retail outlets would be available, as well, and meal plans could be tailored to incorporate elements of both dining styles. “The old mentality was that you didn’t want [students] to eat too much,” Paulus said. “How much is an individual going to eat?” In addition to creating variety at the new dining hall, existing halls like Founders and Kreischer are set to have their menus retooled to create distinct identities, encouraging travel across campus and furthering community bonds, Hannan said. “I think that clusters of people will form in these spaces,” Griffel said. He said the wide selection of ethnic foods will help establish commonalities among students. “My specialty as a chef is my diversification,” Hannan said. He has French Classical training, but said his experience in various global cuisines will come into effect, also stressing the importance of his highly specialized cooking team. “I’ve developed a lot of teams in my career and this is easily one of the strongest teams I’ve ever brought together,” Hannan said. “When we hit May, we don’t want you to be bored.” “[Hannan] cares about fresh food, nutrition, education and teaching,” Griffel said. “We’re extremely lucky to have someone of his caliber and interest in students here.”

Program offers child care to local residents, student teachers experience By Zach Gase Reporter
Community Learning Centers offers programs that will entertain and educate children during the summer. The Wood County Learning Centers will be holding academic assistance and enrichment programs for children in kindergarten through sixth grade throughout the summer, said Sue Ullman, program supervisor of Community Learning Centers. She said the programs help many at-risk youth, including children with special needs and disabilities, children with academic problems and children from families struggling financially. The programs are paid for using a sliding fee scale, Ullman said. Families will pay anywhere from $1 to $22 per day, depending on the financial status of the family. Senior Matt Frey, an art education major who works for Community Learning Centers, said the program is a great way

“It helps me learn how to manage students and children.” Matt Frey | Senior for children to stay active during the summer. It gives them an opportunity to interact with other children and enrich their minds, he said. Ullman said every Tuesday the children will go on field trips to various places around northwest Ohio, including the Toledo Zoo, the Imagination Station (formerly Cosi), Valentine Theatre, the Pemberville Opera House and Fifth Third Field, home of the Toledo Mud Hens. Every Friday, children will go swimming at a local swimming pool. The programs are open enrollment for children who live in one of the ten school districts that put on the programs, and they last from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The programs will take place in ele-
mentary schools, varying in size depending on the district. The theme for this summer’s program is “Superstars” and is based on many performance arts, Ullman said. The program will include a wide variety of activities for the children such as unicycling, juggling, stop-action videos, theatre, puppetry and hip-hop dance, she said. Frey said the children aren’t the only ones learning from the programs. The University students who work with the children are also learning some valuable lessons. “It gives me an idea of what a classroom is going to be like,” Frey said. “It helps me learn how to manage students and children.” Junior Anna Gilliland, a special education major who has worked for Community Learning Centers for one-and-a-half years, also said that working with the children at the programs has prepared her to work in a classroom. She said Community Learning Centers is a great place for students to work.

Doubt surrounds Kagan as she accepts her promotion Anthony Bryson Columnist
As with many young Americans today, I don’t vote along party lines. I think both the Republican and Democratic parties are broken and corrupt. But regardless of my political opinion, many things do not sit right with me about Elena Kagan, President Obama’s recent Supreme Court nominee. My first concern is the lack of diversity in the court which would include Kagan. I am very supportive of having four or five female justices, as our country is roughly half female, but I am speaking of religious diversity. With her addition to the court, there would be six Catholic and three Jewish justices. For a country with a large Protestant population, it is surprising that not a single justice shares this religious background. You can’t tell me this lack of religious diversity has no effect on the judgments of the Supreme Court. If a justice’s background had no effect on their decisions, then we wouldn’t worry about having any kind of diversity on the bench. Second is her position on military recruiters. This is perhaps the most commonly argued reason for Republicans to block her appointment. As the dean of Harvard Law School, she supported the ban on military recruiters. Eventually she was overruled, unanimously, by the Supreme Court - the same Court that she may soon be joining. It is said that Kagan blocked recruiters because of the mil-
itary’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. However, Harvard has had a history since the ‘60s of attempting to keep recruiters off its grounds. Discrimination in any form is wrong. The simple fact that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” leads to such explosive emotions is probably key evidence that it is a poor policy. But denying our military recruiters access to some of the brightest and influential young men and women in our country is not the way to support gay rights. It is a way to continue the class separation of the poor who fight wars and the rich who profit from them. And let’s be honest, how many Harvard graduates do you see entering the military these days? The greatest weakness in her nomination is a lack of judicial experience. Kagan has some amazing credentials and certainly has an extensive knowledge of law. However, we are talking about an appointment to the highest court in the land, a lifetime appointment that is not subject to the whims of the latest public opinion poll. When it comes to the Executive and Legislative branches, I want change. And if that change turns out to be unfair or unproductive, I know that we can change again in two to six years. But when it comes to the Judicial branch, I want proof through past actions on issues. I want experience, diversity and a fair minded individual. I don’t want Elena Kagan.

STAFF EDITORIAL
Campus may seem empty, but plenty is taking place during summer season Don’t worry, we’re still here. Newstands may have been empty last week, but The BG News is back and we’ll be sticking around all summer. Bowling Green may seem like a ghost town right now, but there is still a lot to do if you know where to look. Like, on our front page. We’ve chosen our top ten favorite things to do while wasting away summer days. All ten can be enjoyed at little to no cost and are sure to add variety to your sunbathing and barbeque routines. Our tour guide in Pulse (page 5) will take you a little out of town, but who doesn’t love a road trip? Personally, we’re looking forward to Earth,
Wind and Fire in early June and Demetri Martin in mid-July. You’ll find a few new sections in Pulse, too. Faculty contributer Amanda McGuire Rzicznek will have a piece each week on ways to appreciate local food and Pulse Editor Matt Liasse will choose a themed playlist of ten songs for every issue. And we’re not alone on campus this summer, our USG and GSS representatives are still working, too. We’ll follow along with what campaign promises are being kept, which are stalled and what plans our student leaders have for the upcoming school year. Of course, we’ll also keep tabs on campus construc-
tion for you. At this rate, it’s probably easier to count how many buildings aren’t undergoing some work, but we’ll let you know how each project is going and whether or not progress is really being made. This week, you can read about the new dining hall being built in Mac (page 3). But the campus landscape isn’t the only part of the University going through changes. Now that the committee has been announced, the search is on for the next President as we prepare to bid farewell to Cartwright next year. Choosing a new President isn’t an easy decision, and we believe stu-
dents should be as informed as possible on the direction the University is headed in with the appointment of a new leader. Unfortunately for our wallets and loan balances, tuition is once again on the rise. Yes, just when we thought the price of education couldn’t possibly get any higher, it is. We’ll by your fly on the wall in late June when the Board of Trustees meets to discuss the increase. But for now, try to keep those dollar signs off your mind. Check out our guides, wear sunsceen and breeze through those summer classes. We’ll see you next Wednesday.
Current economy may stay “irrational” even with optimistic viewpoints ANDREW DEHNHOFF COLUMNIST By Andrew Dehnhoff Columnist
The late economist John Maynard Keynes famously noted that “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” As if Mr. Keynes were looking through a crystal ball into our present-day economy, this theory has been proven disastrously true. Although he was speaking from the perspective of an investor, nations globally are bearing the brunt of a fierce and unpredictable market as they attempt to climb out of fiscal holes that, on occasion, they themselves dug. Now partway through 2010, it’s time to update our economic outlook for the next few months. Though not an expert in the subject, I have the advantage of understanding the opinions of Main Street, whose human resources have been instrumental in the mending of this
nation following a dreadful market downturn. I also study Wall Street, whose behavior throughout the recovery has been maddening to both citizens and federal agencies alike. That being said, it will be interesting to see how financial regulation reform pans out this summer and into the November elections, as well as the size of the lasso that Washington hurls around our nation’s largest banks. Previously I wrote about the impending regulation and its potential ability to curtail institutional fiscal irresponsibility in the U.S. and around the globe, but these laws cannot hope to govern the saving and investment of private citizens. The Bureau of Economic Analysis recently reported that, for the month of March, personal income climbed $36 billion while consumption swelled nearly $59 billion. In other words, Americans are spending more than they are earning, even after a horrific recession that should’ve taught them otherwise. What Congress does anticipate, though, is the ability to stop firms such as AIG from exploiting taxpayer money and the capacity to keep Goldman
Sachs and others out of fraud. The revitalization of the U.S. economy is still apparent with the Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching ten and even eleven thousand points within the past few months, but this is overshadowed by the dark cloud that hovers over the world’s financial markets. In particular, Europe is experiencing an inability to pay its debts, specifically Greece and even Spain and Portugal. Greece exclusively has been given a $145 billion loan by the European Union and International Monetary Fund in order to stave off mass defaults on financial instruments, which has hurt its currency, the euro, tremendously. The euro of late has fallen to an annual low compared to the U.S. dollar. The financial television network CNBC stated that gold could, in a sense, become the world’s new reserve currency. This could be a product of inflationary expectations pertaining to the U.S. dollar and weakening euro as a consequence of financial crises. The reasoning behind gold’s new found prominence is the fact that gold cannot be printed like currency: there is a finite amount. Therefore, it is a stable
commodity and a safe haven for investors. A recent article in The Economist explains “a cheaper euro hurts America, which will feel it is owed a chance for export-led growth after almost ruining itself as the world’s main consumer,” and earlier stating “the case for a further drop in the euro against the dollar has more than just momentum to back it. Business cycles favor it: the euro-area economy is picking up speed again, but America’s recovery is more advanced.” Here at home, a weaker U.S. dollar—the euro aside—is not necessarily a bad thing. As referenced earlier, this makes us more attractive to foreign purchasers, thus reducing the trade deficit. Moving forward, it may be prudent for countries around the world to heed the theory of Mr. Keynes and remember that the market doesn’t always play nice, and while conservative policy won’t make them a quick billion, it could just save them from collapse.

The Forgotten Refugees Why does nobody care about the Jewish refugees from Arab lands? The world is greatly concerned about the Arabs who fled the nascent state of Israel in 1948. But no mention is ever made of the Jewish refugees from Arab lands. Their history is as compelling and arguably more so than that of the Arab refugees from Israel.
What are the facts?
A different history. It is instructive to compare the history of those Jewish refugees with that of the Arabs Jews in Arab countries. Jews have lived since who fled from Israel during its War of Independence. Biblical times in what are now Arab countries. After There were about 650,000 of them. Most left following the Roman conquest, Jews were dispersed, mostly to the strident invocations of their leaders, who urged what are now the Arab countries of North Africa and them to leave, so as to make room for the invading the Middle East.

Freshman reliever Patrick O’Brien had another good outing for the Falcons in the game three victory.

The Falcons were able to produce runs, but the pitching and defense faltered and pushed the Falcons back into a tie for the division lead.

After two and a half innings, BG had a commanding 10-0 lead, but let Kent State chip away before allowing four runs in a disas-

Blanton went 1-for-5 at the plate, but his lone hit came in the form of a three-run shot in the third inning. He leads the team in home runs with 13 and RBIs with 46.

New hockey coaches bring renewed sense of enthusiam to program By Bobby Waddle Reporter
Ty Eigner and Barry Schutte are the newest additions to the Falcon Hockey family, and although the two come from different programs, both have the same goal in mind for the University Hockey program. Head coach Chris Bergeron hired Eigner and Schutte on May 8 as assistant coaches and said he is confident their personal rapport and passion for the game will be a big step in creating a winning environment for the program. “I think they will bring great leadership to our players,” Bergeron said. “Their example is a great one. They’re both great teachers and they’re both very hungry to get this program back to where it belongs.” Schutte said he is pleased with the local devotion for the hockey program. “I’m really pumped about the rich hockey history at Bowling Green,” Schutte said. “It excites me to see the passion from the community.” Eigner is no stranger to the passion and enthusiasm surrounding the Falcon Hockey program. He played for the University under coach Jerry York from 1988-93, and served as a team captain his senior year. During his time at the University, Eigner formed many lasting relationships and has a fondness for the University. “The time I spent in BG [produced] some of the best times I’ve had in my life,” Eigner said. “The passion from the community and alumni is still there.” Each coach brings distinctive experience to the program.

Auxiliaries and also served as Miami’s club hockey coach, leading the team to its first national championship in the program’s history. Schutte also had considerable success on the ice. He played for the Miami Redhawks from 1993-97, lettering each year and winning both the Freshman of the Year Award and Senior of the Year Award during his tenure. “The game has put me in great situations and introduced me to quality individuals, young and old,” Schutte said. “I take great pride in being able to give back and help mold student athletes.” Eigner completed a successful run as associate coach for Eden Prairie High School’s hockey program in Minnesota, capping off 14 years of coaching experience by receiving the 2009 AA Coach of the Year award. He said he is eager to apply his experience to the BG program. “It has always been a goal of mine to coach at the highest level possible,” Eigner said. “One of the great things about coaching college hockey is finding the players you think will best fit the team and helping them grow as a student and person.” Eigner participated in many sports as a child, but settled on hockey in college. He said he did so in large part because the enthusiasm his local community had for the sport. “Most hockey players start the game young, putting in a lot of hours and hard work, with commitment from the parents and the community,” Eigner said. Schutte said he feels enthu-
siasm and motivation has to come from all around, and believes motivation and encouragement are essential tools in the process. “The goal is to shape and mold young men and give them the tools to succeed in life,” Schutte said. “It comes down to execution and accountability.” By creating a locker room culture that encourages success both on and off the ice, the coaches said they share the same basic coaching philosophy, even though they have not yet had the opportunity to coach together. They attributed this to their admiration of each other on a personal level. There is an existing chemistry amongst the coaching staff because Bergeron previously played minor professional hockey with Eigner. “I’ve known [Eigner] for a long time,” Bergeron said. “We already have a personality mesh and chemistry and I think … when we coach on a day-to-day basis that is something that will come easy.” Bergeron said the coaches will be a highly positive influence on the program, making it stronger. “[What these guys] don’t know they will learn and what they have already as people you can’t teach,” Bergeron said. “They’ve got a presence, they’ve got a personality, a charisma for hockey and coaching and teaching. They’re guys that are going to be great for this program for a long time to come.”

Game 2: KSU 9, BG 1 Kent State jumped out to an early 4-1 lead and never looked back as the Golden Flashes cruised past the Falcons to re-take the lead in the MAC East Division. Freshman Michael Frank only lasted two innings in his start for the Falcons. Frank allowed the first four KSU runs on three hits and two walks. He fell to 2-4 on the season, and raised his ERA to 6.52 with the loss. Ross Gerdeman made his second-straight appearance for BG and allowed four of Kent State’s final five runs in two and a third innings of relief work. Right fielder Ben Klafczynski and left fielder Anthony Gallas each went deep for the Golden Flashes in the contest. The two combined for three of the team’s nine hits and nine RBIs. No Falcon managed more than one hit in the game. Freshman designated hitter Matt Pitzulo accounted for BG’s only RBI. KSU’s Robert Sabo threw a complete-game, five-hit gem for his fourth win of the year.

In the bottom of the eighth, Kevin Leady gave up a single and consecutive doubles before Patrick O’Brien replaced him. O’Brien got the first two batters to fly out and recorded the final out of the eighth himself en route to a six-out save. BG’s production was spread around throughout the lineup. Logan Meisler, T.J. Blanton, Derek Spencer and Matt Pitzulo all had two hits each for the Falcons, combining for three of BG’s eight runs. Ryan Mace only pitched a third of an inning for KSU, but allowed three crucial runs and was credited with the loss. BG’s Kevin Leady picked up his teamhigh seventh win of the year in the victory. The Falcons will complete their regular season schedule at home this weekend against Buffalo. The series is critical for BG as they look to finish atop the MAC East standings. Friday’s game is slated for 3 p.m. at Steller Field. Games two and three are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m.

TOWING RUBBER: A Falcon pitchers delivers a pitch during the season. The pitching staff has improved its ERA to 6.42 during the course of the season.
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers began their offseason review. It didn’t begin with Mike Brown being shown the door. Brown remained in place as coach on Monday as the Cavs began working on their assessment of what went wrong this season. Cleveland was ousted from the playoffs last week by the Boston Celtics, who upset the NBA’s top regular-season team in six games. Cavs general manager Danny Ferry and the team’s other decision makers took the weekend off to get away from the emotion of the stunning loss, which could hasten superstar LeBron James’ exit as a free agent. On Friday, owner Dan Gilbert said his evaluation of the organization — “from top to bottom” — would likely be completed within seven-to10 days. It’s possible the team will act quickly on Brown, who has guided the team to the postseason in each of his five seasons. If he’s let go, Brown, who has one year left on his contract, could be quickly scooped up by one of the six other teams
looking for head coaches. Cleveland’s assistants also have one year remaining on their deals. Cleveland’s next move will be an interesting one. Because of James’ uncertain future, it’s possible the Cavs would want his input into their next coaching hire, assuming the two-time MVP is still considering re-signing with Cleveland when free agency opens in July. If the team fires Brown, it may have to search for a new coach not knowing if James will be back and would have to go into the draft and free agency without a coach. Meanwhile, rumors continue to surface about James’ plans. The Chicago Tribune reported that William Wesley, who works with James’ agent Leon Rose, has talked to the Bulls and other teams about packaging James with Kentucky coach John Calipari. James and Calipari have become friends in recent years. When the Cavs were beaten last week at home by the Celtics, Calipari sat next to Rose in the front row adjacent to Cleveland’s bench.

BOWERSOX RETURNS TO TOLEDO: After making it to the Top 3 finalists on the hit show “American Idol,” Crystal Bowersox returned to the area on Friday, making stops all over Toledo and Ottawa County. The Elliston, Ohio native played a set at Levis Square in downtown Toledo (pictured above) before singing the national anthem with her son in her arms at the Mud Hens game later that night. LABEOUF INSULTS FILMS: Just days after Shia LaBeouf publicly criticized “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” by saying he “wasn’t impressed” and “the heart was gone,” he told the Los Angeles Times that he felt he failed the legacy of the “Indiana Jones” franchise after starring in the fourth installment. “It’s the actor’s job to make [a film] come alive and make it work, and I couldn’t do it,” he said.
