Basketball fan to endowment County considers rising heroin use increase to $20 million
A SPREADING ADDICTION 2 of 2 THE BG NEWS LOOKS INTO HEROIN IN THE CITY, COUNTY
By Danae King Editor-in-Chief
Tony Hetrick
Every community in Wood County shares a similar problem: heroin. In Bowling Green, it’s only getting worse. “It’s an evil drug,” said Maj. Tony Hetrick, deputy chief of the Bowling Green Police Division. In 2013, Bowling Green police arrested 12 people for heroin trafficking and possession, and the division only expects the number to rise this year.
Major in Bowling Green Police Division
“I don’t think we’ve peaked yet in use,” Hetrick said. “I think it’ll get worse because I think we’re just scratching the surface right now.” The police division is shifting its focus to heroin because of the fatalities that have
come from it. There has been one fatality a year in the city since 2011, and Hetrick said it will only get worse. In Ohio, a person dies from heroin every six hours— more than the rate of people killed by car accidents, said Lorrie Lewandowski, associate director of the Wood County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board. Heroin use didn’t really start taking off until 2012 or 2013, when the price of other

Student-athlete GPA highest in five years; second highest of Ohio MAC schools By Cameron Teague Robinson Sports Editor
The student-athlete grade point average is the highest it has been in the last five years. The University athletes’ fall GPA was a 3.18 with 425 athletes enrolled in classes at the University. Of those athletes, 252 have recorded a 3.0 GPA or higher while 31 of them have a 4.0. “The goal is to get student athlete’s to graduate within five years from the NCAA standpoint,” said Jermaine Truax, associate athletic director for Compliance and Administration. “If you can go pro, go pro, fine but at the end of the day get your degree.” The 3.18 average is higher than The University of Toledo, Kent State University and Ohio University, which are other Ohio Mid-American Conference schools. Within the MAC, the University trails Miami University in GPA, as Mid-American it had a combined 3.23 this past fall. Conference GPA fall Director of Studentsemester averages.

Multicultural Affairs to recognize Asian Americans’ contributions Heritage Month to last to April 24, feature speakers on a variety of topics By Alex Traczyk Reporter
The first Asian-American Heritage Week at the University will begin April 11. The purpose of the event is to raise Asian-American awareness and shine light on some of the contributions they have made. “I don’t want the Asian-Americans to feel invisible on this campus,” said
Assistant Director of Multicultural Affairs Krishna Han, the man behind the start of this particular Asian-American Heritage Week. Being the assistant director of Multicultural Affairs, Han believed it was time for the Asian-Americans to be recognized. Asian-American Heritage Month is the month of May, but since finals are the first week of May, the end of

After giving $10 million to the men’s basketball program in 2011, longtime fan Bill Frack announced he will double that endowment during a press conference Wednesday. The $20 million gift is to the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation and will benefit the BG men’s basketball program, as well as the community in Hancock County. The 77-year-old Frack, a Findlay native who has followed BG basketball for more than six decades, announced the increased endowment in Findlay, along with University President Mary Ellen Mazey and Katherine Kreuchauf, community foundation president. The conference took place at The Heritage, an assistedliving center in Findlay where Frack lives. “Bowling Green has some pretty serious problems,” Frack said, referring to dwindling attendance at the Stroh Center. “Hopefully this will help. It’ll get people away from their television sets.” Frack said he was not feeling well, but he still was in good humor, and made several jokes during the press conference. “I trust the people managing that money to not go to Las Vegas with it,” he said, prompting a laugh from those in attendance. Addressing the positive effect this money will have for the future of the basketball program, President Mazey responded, “The only way we’ll go to Las Vegas is in the NCAA Final Four.” The endowment will generate an estimated $675,000 annually for the men’s basketball program in perpetuity. The basketball program will benefit from 75 percent of the annual distributions from the series of existing trusts. The remaining proceeds will support the Community Foundation, which benefits the area of Hancock County. Frack has been a fan of BG basketball since his father took him to his first game in 1948. He attended the

Editor’s Note: Know Before You Go is a monthly series The BG News publishes with data from health inspection reports for city restaurants and food providers. The chart below lists the four restaurants with the most violations during health inspection. It lists the name, address, inspection type, number of violations and the inspectors comments in the report. There are usually five restaurants, but in March, only four restaurants had violations. The inspection type varies from standard to follow-up to complaint. A restaurant receives a standard inspec-
tion roughly two times a year. If something is wrong, they will receive a critical or non-critical violation. A critical violation pertains to issues that aren’t safe practices, such as improper food temperatures or improper storage of poisonous chemicals. A non-critical violation pertains to matters such as cleanliness of kitchen or poor conditions of equipment. After an inspector finds violations, they are usually corrected on the spot or a follow-up will be conducted a few days or weeks later depending on the violation. If a business repeats critical violations, it meets with
the health district to correct the problem. If it still repeats the violation, it could eventually lose its food license. At the beginning of each month, look for graphs that list the three restaurants with no violations and the three with the most violations for the previous month. *The information in today’s graph is for the month of March and is available on the Wood County Health District’s website. *Explanation taken from past interviews with the Wood County Health District.

Hobby Lobby opposition to health coverage Change is good, healthy fueled by sexism, not religious freedom Ally Lahey Guest COLUMNIST
Confession: I have an IUD. Basically, a Mirena IUD is an “intrauterine device,” or a hormonal contraceptive implant that sits in my uterus for up to five years. It’s one of the most reliable methods of birth control and is considered up to 99 percent effective. Due to rising health care costs, the Mirena has gone up in price— up to $800 for it to be inserted. I adore my IUD. It just sits in there and does its job. No pills, patches, or shots. It’s a great fit for my life, and many other young people’s lives. If my parents or I worked at Hobby Lobby or Conestoga Wood Specialties I wouldn’t have my awesome IUD. Currently, the case is in the Supreme Court and it is considered a landmark case when it comes to “religious freedom”
of businesses and the health care plans provided by them. Hobby Lobby, which has been the focus of the controversy, argues that mandated coverage for birth control for all non-religious, for-profit businesses is taking away their “religious freedom,” because using these drugs goes against their religious beliefs. At this point, people who are against Hobby Lobby’s arguments will point out that people need birth control coverage for plenty of medical reasons. Birth control is used to treat acne, heavy and painful menstrual periods, PMS relief, endometriosis, ovarian cysts and a host of other issues that people face. In fact, according to the Center for Disease Control, from 2006-2010, 99 percent of sexually experienced females used at least one contraceptive device. When I read about the birth control coverage issue, people like to focus on the non-sexual reasons why people need birth control. But
you know what? There is nothing wrong with using your birth control to prevent pregnancy while you have sex. It’s not irresponsible. If you are avoiding pregnancy, taking birth control is one of the most responsible things you can do. I’m not ashamed to say that my IUD’s primary function is to prevent pregnancy. The other argument around “religious freedom” in order for businesses to not cover hormonal birth control methods, including Plan-B [or emergency contraception] is that they are “abortifacients,” meaning that they cause early term spontaneous abortions. A pill that causes these goes against their religious beliefs, therefore they do not feel obligated to provide coverage for contraception. In reality, there has been plenty of evidence to show that Plan-B and hormonal birth control do not cause spontaneous abortions. This has been recognized by the National Institute of Health and the Mayo Clinic. Therefore, they are
opposed to a supposed side effect of a drug with little evidence to support their claim. So why are the Hobby Lobby owners so vehemently against covering birth control? It’s not about religious freedom. We are all forced to spend money on things we oppose all the time, such as corporate tax breaks, expensive wars and a racist prison industry. Perhaps I don’t “believe” in Viagra or penis pumps to enhance the sexual health of males. However, I, as a business owner, would still be required to cover these costs, despite my beliefs. It’s about policing the sexuality of women and shaming them for having sex for pleasure outside of marriage. Truly, when it comes down to it, we are afraid of female sexual pleasure and birth control, because it gives us power and autonomy over our lives.

Sometimes you just need a change. Though spring has finally decided to join us, I’ve had a real case of the winter blahs. I imagine I am not the only one. One of the best cures I have found is trying something new. On March 23, I went to a different church than I have been attending for the past year and a half. I have been wanting to do so, simply to see what else is out there in terms of religion. I made my way to First United Methodist Church. I had been there only once before. The physical differences between a Catholic church and one of any other denomination can be difficult to spot. One, however, is the giveaway— a crucifix. Catholic churches have a crucifix, while the vast majority of Protestant churches use a plain cross. Such was the case in this church. But that was not the only difference. What I found most remarkable was the baptism during the service. Here I saw things I have never seen in Catholic baptisms, which typically
take place after Sunday mass. A couple brought up their baby girl to be baptized as the pastor invited the little ones in the congregation up closer so they could see what was happening. Another thing that stuck out was the use of the phrase “and also with you” as a response from the congregation. Those words were familiar, though not ones I had used for almost three years. In late 2011, the Revised Roman Missal came along and changed the language of the mass to more closely reflect the original Latin. Our “and also with you” had been changed to the clunky and cumbersome “and with your spirit.” The phrase was comforting in its familiarity, and so nice to say. Of course, if I was a regular member of this church, it would lose its novelty. And there are traditions I would miss, like the rosary and all the feast days. None of this is to say that I plan to switch churches, or that I definitely want to stay in my own. The truth is that I don’t know, but I am grateful that I got the refreshing chance to explore.

Appeasement in Eastern European avoids immediate intervention, gives U.S., other states ability to strengthen foreign policies greg burleson Columnist
Premier V ladimir Putin of the post-Russian state, t he resurging Sov iet Union, is skillfully and knowingly guiding the world into a familiar and terrifying chasm. The horrifying similarities between the genesis of the Second World War and the modern conflict in Eastern Europe dictate action beyond the punitive measures already levied against the Kremlin. While I traditionally avoid lev ying criticism against the Obama administration, there can be little doubt that our current foreign policy exhibits all of the typical indicators and personify the word “weak.” Our defini-

to frantically search for an easy way out of acting. This apparently did not go unnoticed to Premier Putin. In international terms, “appeasement” is the policy of extensively avoiding an immediate altercation by giving in to an aggressor’s demands in hope of avoiding conflict. This is essentially a competitive policy to see which country can bury their head deeper in the sand. This was the allied position against Adolf Hitler in a scenario that was horrifyingly similar to our current predicament. Following Germany’s humiliating showing in the 1936 Olympics, Adolf Hitler decided to branch out and “protect ethnic Germans.” Hitler claimed a common cultural identity with Austria and chose to annex the sovereign state. Punitive sanctions were levied against

the increasingly popular Hitler. These punitive actions and increased support only encouraged Hitler to continue. Leaders of the day were busying with a competitive match of burying their head in the sand and did not even react when Hitler invaded the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia. World leader’s only reaction was to strike a deal with Adolf Hitler and trust that he was, deep down, a good person at heart. Putin was a leading henchman in the KGB and I refuse to give him any title other than the USSR term “Premier.” He recognized the world’s weakness in Syria and felt comfortable “protecting ethnic Russians” around the world. The resurging Soviet Union’s invasion of the Crimea is only aptly described as an abomination. Making this
worse, Premier Putin has amassed 40,000 soldiers on the boarder of Eastern Ukraine. Putin has almost assuredly sent guerillas in to the Ukraine to incite the current— and shockingly unexpected— uprising while he bides his time before he can again “protect ethnic Russians.” I can’t decide whether Hitler would be proud or angry that Premier Putin has stolen his plan in its most literal and recognizable form. I have heard countless suggestions that the Ukraine is simply not worth risking increased t e n s ion s — Ne v i l le Chamberlin, the world champion of bur y ing one’s own head in the sand, says hello. The Ukraine is a sovereign state and a member of the United Nations. All nations in the UN have an obligation to recognize the Ukraine as an
ally and protect them as such. Despite this, I would agree that the minimal risk of open war is not worth intervention; however, history, Hitler and Putin have all proved that appeasement of a tyrant will only lead to an infinitely worse conflict. The current appeasement policy of economic sanctions will not save Eastern Europe. We must match strength with strength before Premier Putin sends those 40,000 trained killers into Kiev and “politely” asks for another referendum at the barrel of a gun. Take your heads out of the sand, stop this appeasement and see the situation in Eastern Europe for what it is.

22 years in
the making Chris Jans coaching journey brings him to Bowling Green, his dream has come true By Cameron Teague Robinson Sports Editor
The new men’s head basketball coach Chris Jans still said he gets lost going to the bathroom in the Stroh Center. Jans was introduced to the University as the new head coach March 25, but has not had time to settle down and adapt to Bowling Green. This is the tenth university he has coached at in 22 years and he could not be happier, he said. “All I ever wanted to do was be a coach,” Jans said. “It’s a dream come true, I dreamt about being in front of a podium and being announced as a head coach.” It was a dream come true for Jans but, when he was in college, he wasn’t thinking about being a head coach. He was earning his degree in marketing and finance and had aspirations of being a guy on Wall Street. Wall Street had a lifestyle of competition similar to the one that made him love sports. “It was a competitive and tense world,” Jans said. “But, I wasn’t thinking about coaching until a year after I graduated.” A year out of graduation he had what he called an “epiphany” and realized that his passion was basketball. He then called around looking for jobs in coaching and came across a volunteer position with a Division three school, Elmhurst College. To make ends meet at Elmhurst, he worked as a substitute teacher, worked basketball camps and valeted cars at restaurants and bars.

All-American Brooke Pleger to open season at All-Ohio Championships By Jamar Dunson Reporter
All-American hammer thrower Brooke Pleger will open her season this weekend as the track and field team travels to Cincinnati for the All-Ohio Championships. Head coach Lou Snelling says her debut, along with other returners, will be exciting to see. “Brooke will be opening up the hammer and this is her first game outdoors, so we’re expecting big things there,” Snelling said. Jeanette Pettigrew will return this week after not performing at the Ohio Cherry meet last week. Snelling said she’ll return to perform in the 100, long jump and the relay events. The Falcons will look to continue going forward with their progression this weekend as they are currently ranked fourth among schools in the Mid-American Conference. According to the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, Bowling Green is ranked at number 62 in the country, two spots above their preseason ranking at No. 64. Akron ranks first in Mid-American Conference as the number 27 in the country. The Falcons previous two meets have seen athletes such as redshirt junior Brittany Sinclair, senior Tina Perrine and redshirt freshman Mackenzie Wheat, perform very well. Their most recent meet, the Ohio Cherry Blossom in Athens, saw the Falcons’ come first in four different events. Wheat won first place in the shot put with a throw of 46-feet-11 and came close to hitting an automatic-qualifying mark. Sinclair came in first place in the 400 meter hurdles with a time of 1:03.13 and Perrine came first in the discus. Junior Natalie Sommerville also made an impact at the meet, placing third in 400 hurdles. Redshirt freshman Kori Reiser, in particular, did well also coming in second in the discus and hammer throw events. With May and the MAC Outdoor championship slowly approaching, Snelling said that the practices are geared toward getting ready for the championship. “We’re still hitting the practice really hard, our goal revolves around May and the end of June,” Snelling said. “We’re really working hard at it and it’s been a week of hard work.” Look ing at t he nex t few ga mes, Snel ling believes these next three weeks w ill be v ita l for the team to get into a good spot for the championships. “Really these next three weekends are going to be pretty big in terms of going into conference,” Snelling said. “Those meets are going to determine a lot, so this is a really important time.” The All-Ohio Championship start at 1 p.m. Friday, April 11 at Gettler Stadium in Cincinnati.
Softball look to continue winning streak Falcons to play Akron and Ohio University this weekend By Aaron Parker Reporter
The BG softball team prepares conference play away games after its three-game winning streak, including two shutouts and a mercy rule win. The Falcons will play two games apiece against the University of Akron Friday and Ohio University Saturday and Sunday. Both teams are in the MAC east division with the Falcons. Ohio University is sitting in the first spot with a conference record of 4-2 and Akron is currently in the fourth spot with a record of 2-2. The Falcons have a conference of 3-3 following a 1-1 split against Miami University last weekend, and currently hold the third spot. They will look to continue their recent solid performance to take advantage of their opponents, who are both coming off recent losses. Both of the Falcons regular rotation pitchers, junior Jamie Kertes and sophomore Braiden Dillow, played a complete

That will not change this weekend against the division leaders. “We make pitching changes based off of match-ups and how those match-ups have worked so far in the game and what is best for the team,” Salsburg said. “If somebody can throw all seven that just takes stress off of our staff.

Falcons to host Central Michigan this weekend Mike Frank looks to continue play, come closer to breaking two pitching records, By Brett Creamer Assistant Sports Editor
After taking two straight games against Toledo and six of their last seven, the Falcons will host the first place Central Michigan Chippewas in a three-game series at Steller Field. The Falcons are coming off three consecutive series wins against Northern Illinois, Western Michigan and Toledo.
Catcher T.J. Losby, who also received Mid-American Conference Male Scholar Athlete of the Week this week, contributed to the team’s success. This past weekend against Western Michigan, Losby tied a careerhigh in hits, getting five in all five at-bats. Over the past week, Losby has raised his average to .314, and is second on the team in runs batted in with 17, one behind team leader
Jeremy Shay. “He’s seeing the ball extremely well right now along with Shay and we’re going to need that in the middle of our lineup this weekend,” said coach Danny Schmitz. Central Michigan comes to Bowling Green with an overall record of 20-13 and a record of 8-1 in the make. While lead-

Falcons will face both Akron and Buffalo on Saturday, Chiricosta and Rueland to be honored By Trevor Thompson Reporter
The University tennis team will finish their home schedule this weekend against MAC opponents Akron Friday and will host Buffalo on Saturday. On Saturday, the program’s two seniors, Nikki Chiricosta and Emily Reuland, will be recognized in ceremonies for senior day before the Buffalo match. The Falcons go into the weekend with an 8-6 record overall and 2-2 record in the conference. In part due to their success last weekend, as the Falcons collected two wins when they defeated the Northern Illinois Huskies 6-1 April 4 and
then defeated the Chicago State Cougars 7-0 April 5. The Falcons performed very well on both days as every single player picked up a victory on each day. On the season, Nikki Chiricosta leads the Falcons with 36 overall wins. Behind her are Katie Brozovich with 33 and Emily Reuland with 26 wins. Chiricosta is t he winningest player in University history with 185 overall wins. She also holds the school record with 93 singles victories. Chiricosta broke both records, originally set by her sister, Christine (200811), in the Falcons’ win over Western Michigan in the MAC opener March 22. The Akron Zips come
into Friday’s match with a 10-12 record overall and a 0-5 record in conference play. The Zips are coming off a two match home stand, where they dropped both matches to MAC opponents Ball State in which they fell 6-1 to the Cardinals and then to the Miami Ohio Red Hawks 7-0. Buffa lo w ill enter Saturday’s match with a 12-4 overall record and is 3-2 in conference play. Last weekend Buffalo went 1-1 as they won against Miami 5-2 on Friday. The win was the first time they have beaten Miami since 2008. “I loved our focus out there in both doubles and singles from the moment the match began to the
moment we shook hands,” said head coach Kristen Ortman Maines. “We were disciplined and smart out there and we made the most of our opportunities. This was a total team effort and I couldn’t be more proud of this group.” The next day Buffalo fell to Ball State 4-3 in a highly competitive match. The loss to Ball State snapped a three game winning streak for the Bulls. The Falcons look to improve their record this weekend before traveling on the road next weekend to face Ball State in Muncie, Ind. April 18, and then to Oxford, Ohio April 19 to meet the Miami Red Hawks in the final weekend of the regular season.

BASEBALL From Page 6 ing the West division, the Chippewas could be a difficult task to handle. “They’ve been outstanding so far this season, and we have one of the top teams in the conference coming into town,” Schmitz said. The Falcons continued their two game winning streak by defeating Toledo Wednesday with a score of 5-3. Brandon Howard was a large reason why that was the case. With two outs in the top of the 10th inning, Howard tripled to right center, clearing the bases and scoring two fellow Falcons. Howard leads Bowling Green with a .364 average on the season. “We’re playing really were as of late, and the hard work at practice has been showing … this will be a challenge for us, they have a good pitching staff and we’re going to keep our approach,” Schmitz said.
Back-to-back MAC East pitcher of the week Mike Frank has been throwing well as of late. In Frank’s last outing, he tossed a complete game, striking out 12 and allowing just four hits in a 3-1 victory over Western Michigan. “It’s an honor to be recognized for pitching well,” Frank said. Frank comes into the Central Michigan series with a record of 2-4 and an ERA of 3.40, and leads the team with 45 innings pitched and 33 strikeouts. “He’s thrown the ball extremely well his past outings. And we’re going to need him to set the tone for the series this weekend for us on Friday,” Schmitz said. With both the all-time strikeout and innings pitched record within distance, the Senior looks to keep his positive momentum going this weekend against the Chippewas. First pitch is set at Steller Field for 3:05 p.m. Friday, while Saturday and Sunday will begin at 1:05 p.m.

Students, faculty and staff will be able to attend a play centered on racial issues and uplift during a trying time, based in a city only an hour and 20 minutes away from the University. “Detroit ‘67” is a play set in Detroit, Mich. during the 1967 Detroit Riots, also referred to as the Detroit Race Riots. The play was written by Dominique Morisseau, a Detroit native, and focuses on one family and how they get through the riots. “I chose this play because I wanted to do something that would give minority actors and faculty on campus something juicy to watch and talk about,” Director of the play Michelle Mensah said. “The theme of ‘Detroit ’67’ is the idea of being proud of being black and the wonderful strength of the community.”

Websites give artists more options to share music WILLIAM CHANNELL ASSISTANT PULSE EDITOR
When I think about the general landscape of the underground music industry today, I can’t help but think about how similar it is to the era during which rock and roll first took off. Back then, if your band had a good song and was noticed by a producer, they could go to the nearest recording studio, record their song and it would be released on the local charts the next day. All things considered, the rise of music sharing sites like bandcamp and soundcloud has given rise to a similar system, where artists can record their own music and put it online for free [or pay] within minutes. This opens up a huge number of opportunities for struggling artists, as well as artists who are
okay with their obscurity but want a way for their audience to have their recorded music. The variety of music offered is pretty noteworthy too. It’s certainly the only place I know of that allows underground artists of so many different genres to converge onto one, nicely laidout site. It’s like a weird online music festival that never really stops, and that’s good for the industry. Of course, as with anything on the Internet, this new dynamic can be a double-edged sword. With the huge amount of bands on bandcamp and soundcloud, some artists can get lost in the mix. It’s extremely easy for artists to fade into obscurity simply because no-one ever came across them. There are charts that keep track of the most popular artists on these sites, but it’s simply a mirror of what’s happening on popular charts. Artists that have no means to

“HAPPINESS IS” TAKING BACK SUNDAY Album Review | Grade: B+ By Taylor Hobson Pulse Critic
Taking Back Sunday is making an entrance once again to the music market with their ninth album, “Happiness Is.” Using their alternative roots and incorporating great instrumentals with their lead singer’s strong vocals, they formed yet another strong album, even including some songs with more of a rock vibe. This group formed in 1999 in Amityville, N.Y., and started off very strong in their career. However after losing two mem-
bers in 2003, the band definitely took a hard hit and questioned if they would even continue. Luckily, they soon found new members and have benefitted greatly from them joining. Their albums afterward have only become increasingly stronger, along with the band as well. After the album’s first song, “Preface,” it then continues on with the song, “Flicker, Fade.” It consists of heavy drums and guitar, and then it suddenly stops and then drops into mainly just singing, definitely catching the listener’s attention with such an abrupt change.
The lyrics are nothing less than powerful as well, with lines such as the chorus saying, “Flicker, flicker, fade/destroy what you create/and wonder why it always ends the same.” Something that will also really grab any listener’s attention is by how strong the singer’s vocals are, and also how consistent his voice stays throughout the whole song, let alone album. This band is nothing short of amazing with this new work, and it only gets better throughout the rest of the album.

This is the first production put on through the Department of Theatre and Film that consists of a predominately black cast. “Most of the shows are centered around the white experience,” Mensah said. “Only recently have we been able to talk about race in a production.” The change in racial dynamics on campus added to Mensah’s desire
to direct a film that focuses on African Americans while not creating a negative representation. “There are a lot of brown people at [the Universit y],” Mensa h said. “I want to make sure that it’s known that the Department of Theatre wants to tell stories about the African American experience and ref lects a true reality of what it means to be a black person in this country.” Evan Crawford, one of the actors in the production, is appreciative of not only the story within the play, but also how it affects him as a performer. “I think that the play
is ground breaking,” Crawford said. “For the first time in a long time I can perform on stage as a black body and feel comfortable.” Some students are also interested in attending the play and seeing what it is about. “I would definitely like to see that,” senior Mary Tieko said. “I’ll be there, I can’t wait to see it.” The play will be hosted in the Eva Marie Saint Theatre in the Wolfe Center April 11 and 12 at 8 p.m. Admission is free. “The play is about hopes and dreams,” Crawford said. “Dreams only die if you let them.”

HEROIN From Page 1 narcotics, such as prescription pain pills, went up to between $40 and $60 a pill and the price of a gram of heroin went down to between $10 and $20 on the street, Hetrick said. Not only did the price of pills go up, it became harder for people to obtain them because law enforcement cracked down. Heroin gives the same high as pain pills and was less expensive and costs less to obtain. Heroin addiction isn’t picky when it comes to the age or socioeconomic background of addicts— it can strike anyone. “[There are] no socioeconomic boundaries with it,” said Det. Chris Klewer with the Wood County Sheriff’s Office. “[It can affect] every walk of life.” Angela, 25, began using heroin four years ago. Right now, she’s a resident at Devlac Hall, Behavioral Connection’s residential program in Bowling Green. She will only be referred to by her first name due to confidentiality. She got addicted to heroin through using a low dose narcotic pain pill. Using the pill “motivated” her, making her want to do everyday things she had no desire to do before.

After a while, she stopped getting a high from it and started using stronger and stronger pills. When she wasn’t getting a high from even the strongest pain pill, a friend introduced her to a heroin dealer. And then she was hooked. “I turned to heroin about four years ago and it took me down a bad road ever since,” Angela said. Once the drug use started, Angela said she began stealing, manipulating people and lying. Her mom caught on and “she just couldn’t trust me,” Angela said. This type of behavior is common with people who are addicted to heroin, Klewer said. “A lot of heroin use is related to property crimes,” Klewer said. Burglaries and robberies are common with drug users because if users don’t have the money, dealers may take gift cards, large electronics or other items. Users could also pawn items to get money to pay for drugs, which is sometimes how the sheriff’s office catches them. “It’s such an addictive drug that people will do anything for it,” Klewer said. “[Users] wake up thinking about it and go to bed thinking about it.” Hetrick said until legislators

University, but graduated from Findlay College. He wanted to give back to a program that has been important to him for 60 years. “We all want to honor your legacy,” Mazey said, addressing Frack during the press conference. “We will always know what you’ve done for our men’s basketball team.” The endowment was
BG basketball donor already the largest private gift in the University’s history in 2011, and now even more so. It is also the largest onetime gift ever designated to a Mid-American Conference basketball program. In 2008, Frack also provided $2 million to start the Stroh Center.
step in and raise the charges for traffickers, the high rate of use may not change. Until then, the division is planning to step up enforcement starting in May because the officers know there are heroin users out there they’re not catching. As of now, there are only officers in patrol cars who answer 911 calls and do traffic stops. Beginning in May, the division will have two uniformed officers on the road— not answering calls, but specially looking for people doing drugs, dealing drugs or committing drug-related crimes. “It’s really hard to get possession charges on people because they use it so fast,” Hetrick said. People can get high off a small amount of heroin and stay high for a long time, he said. Users are going somewhere to get the drug, such as Toledo, and using it on the way back. When the police pull someone over for a traffic stop or suspicion of drug use, if they spot a needle, the person can be charged with a misdemeanor for having a “drug abuse instrument,” Hetrick said. If they are caught with heroin, possession is a felony. “It’s easy to conceal, it’s hard to find,” Hetrick said.

He also helped attract the new men’s basketball head coach Chris Jans by contributing $700,000 to the coach’s compensation package. “It made the job that much more attractive,” Jans said of his decision to take the position. While Jans is unsure how he and Athletic Director Chris Kingston will use the funds as of yet, he said it will help in recruitment and promotion. “I’m certain we’ll huddle and figure out the best way to
use that money moving forward,” Jans said. Hancock County programs support the needs of homeless and victims of domestic violence. Frack’s endowment will become a field of interest fund at the Community Foundation. This will allow local organizations to submit proposals for the fund’s use. “We’re very proud and very honored to be working with Bill,” Kreuchauf said during the press conference. “Bill is truly an angel in our midst.”

GPA From Page 1 is an investment in institution and the students with scholarships. There is also an academic requirement for the student’s initial and continuing eligibility,” Jones said. “They can’t step on the court, pool or field until they have met all of their requirements.” Athletes must meet three metrics to be eligible to play their sport and each changes by semesters. They must meet a specific GPA, have a certain number of credits passed and be a certain percentage closer to their degree, no matter what sport they play in. Coming in their freshman year, athletes must have a 2.0 GPA to be eligible to play. “It was a lot mentally being able to balance them both [academics and her first semester] and having energy to get through it all because I wasn’t used to doing that much in a day,” said junior women’s soccer player Ashley Garr. “After the first semester, you learn when to take classes and then everything just gets easier from there.” The GPA requirement drops as they go further in their college career. Entering their sophomore year it must be a 1.8 GPA with 20 percent done towards the degree. The GPA goes up .1 point and 20 percent after every year. Athletes must have a 2.0 GPA and 60 percent done toward their degree upon entering their senior year. Athletes are given five years playing eligibility, meaning they have five years to graduate as well. “[Different eligibility metrics] gives them flexibility,” Truax said. “You can take fewer credits immediately but at the end of the day you have to meet both metrics to be eligible.”
Along with GPA, athletes must pass at least six credits every semester to be eligible for their season. Football is the only exception to that as they must pass at least nine in the fall semester in order to play in their first four games the upcoming fall. Although 59 percent of student athletes have more than a 3.0 GPA, there are still some athletes who do struggle in the beginning to balance their sports schedule and academics. Garr is an applied health science physical therapy major and has a 3.6 GPA and has learned from her first semester how to balance the two more easily. She has also benefited from the study tables the players are required to go to. Study tables are something that is universal through each sport but the required time is up to the coach. First year students must do at least six hours but after that it is up to the coach. The women’s soccer head coach Lindsay Basalyga has let her team this year not do as many hours of study tables as they have in the past due to their previous academic success. “[Basalyga] has actually told us we need to start balancing our wins and academics,” Garr said. “Because we are such a strong academic team so we have been working on doing a balance of both of them. She still stresses academics big but we are trying to find a balance between the two.” Student-Athlete Services started recording cumulative GPA’s about five years ago and it has never been this high. “The GPA speaks to the type of prospects the coaches’ recruit,” Truax said. “It also speaks to the type of student athletes we have. I think they buy into being student athletes first.”

JANS From Page 6 “Most of the money came from my responsibilities in those areas,” Jans said. “But, I was doing it obviously to get the basketball experience.” From there, Jans moved on to other stops head coaching and assistant jobs. There were situations in those jobs like his head coach being fired or being offered a good position that made him move around so much. Jumping from job to job was not the plan originally for Jans though and it was frustrating for him at times. “I never thought about getting out of it [coaching]. I just wondered if I was ever going to catch a break,” Jans said. “I never questioned my pursuit of my dreams. I just wondered if I was going to see the light at the end of the tunnel.” That light looked to have come early as current Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall offered the head assistant job with him at Winthrop in 1998. He turned that down though because he was happy as a junior college head coach at the time. He got another chance when Marshall approached him again in 2007 to be an
assistant coach at Wichita State. Jans accepted that job. “He is a grinder,” Marshall said. “He works extremely hard day in and day out. He has great passion and knowledge of the game.” In his first year they had players go down with injuries and only win 11 games. It grew every year as they Classified Ads would win 28 games in his fourth year.
