Community runs for a cause By Holly Shively City Editor After being personally affected by autism, one family will run across Ohio to raise awareness for the cause. Kolden and Aithan Klassen were both diagnosed with Autism and a seizure disorder called Lennox Gustaut Syndrome at a young age. While the seizures are now under control, Aithan, 5, just took his first unassisted steps this year and Kolden, 8, is walking well, according to the boys’ father Brent Klassen. Brent and his wife Alexis have run
miles to support their boys. Tuesday, March 16th, the Klassens led a group of family, friends, old classmates and students in a roughly one mile run across campus, beginning at Offenhauer Hall and ending at the Stroh Center. This one-mile stretch was only a small part of the estimated 260 miles they will run in their journey across Ohio in the Side 2 Side—Ohio Wide campaign. “For a long time we’ve been wanting to do something to help raise awareness about autism,” B. Klassen said. “It was on a whim. We finished running one day, my
wife and I, and I said ‘Honey do you want to run across the state of Ohio?’ And she said ‘Yea.’ [She] didn’t think about it at all.” The Klassens started at the IndianaOhio border, running one to two legs of around six to eight miles each week, picking up at the exact point they left off in the previous leg. While Ohio is around 220 miles wide at its farthest points, the stretch planned also has some north and south movement to hit major locations like Woodville, the

ALONSO SOUTHARD Senior, Applied Health Sciences
Thoughtfully take criticism online All throughout break, I was struggling to figure out what I wanted to write for this column. And pretty much the entire time, I was stuck. It wasn’t until Thursday night, while I was scrolling through Twitter, that something caught my eye. Patti Murin is an actress who was slated to be in the Broadway show “Nerds” until the show ended up getting shut down. In her post, dated March 10, 2016, she talked about chat rooms and Internet comments and what she wrote struck a chord with me – in an amazing way. Not only did I love her post (I really recommend reading it) and not only did her post give me the inspiration to write this column, but she also brought up fantastic points that should be addressed, namely, how people aren’t nice when it comes to comments on a story or in a chatroom. I’m not going to pretend to know what happens on Broadway sites or even what happens on Broadway. I’ll leave that portion to Murin and the other Broadway professionals. Instead, I’m going to talk about it from my point-of-view. As a journalism major, I know the work I do is going to be open to criticism. Today’s world is extremely digital and most stories I write – whether it’s a general news story, a television
bg
Lauren Fitz Columnist review or a column – is going to be posted online and in print. I understand this and I accept it. It comes with the territory, and, depending on who it’s coming from, can make someone a better writer overall. While the reception I’ve seen from my stories has mostly been positive, I have seen some negative comments about my work. Not surprisingly, the most common place I’ve seen a negative comment about my work has been on Facebook. While I’m getting better at brushing off criticism and not letting positive comments go to my head, it’s important to note that it still does affect me. Especially when it’s from a person (or people) I don’t know. And it’s hard. I don’t like criticism and while, at one point, I would have been an absolute mess and cried, I’m getting a little better. No one likes to see criticism.

But since we’re living in the digital world, does that mean that people can hide behind anonymous comments? Unfortunately, it does. And it happens a lot. Not necessarily to me, but to others – both professionals and amateurs. And it’s terrible. I’m not trying to limit someone’s free speech. As a journalist, I think free speech is incredibly important. Even though it’s a cliché, it’s worth mentioning that people should think before they post, especially if it comes to posting online comments. Even if you’re hiding behind an online alter ego. I’m not saying I’m averse to criticism. While it sucks to be criticized, there’s a good way and a bad way to go about it. If you can give me, or any other writer, advice on how to make something better, I will consider it and see if I can improve myself. All I ask is that you not be a jerk about it. And just like Murin, if you comment in an educated and mature manner and respond to other comments in the same way, I adore you. Respond to Lauren at thenews@bgnews.com

Roads, bridges in disrepair, Congress stagnate Last March, political satirist John Oliver delivered a saucy segment on the state infrastructure within the U.S.; since the segment’s release, little has changed. Oliver noted two major facts: of the 610,749 bridges throughout all the states, 61,356 were deemed “structurally deficient,” just shy of 10 percent and the Federal Highway Trust Fund was set to expire last summer. That is just one facet of our infrastructure. Statistics not cited by Oliver include that 84,525, 7 percent of, bridges are “functionally obsolete,” meaning they no longer serve the purpose for which they were designed, raising that 10 percent to 17 percent. The number of tunnels statewide is reported, but not the state of their structure. The statistics are off the charts regarding general states of roads reflected in volume of citizen complaints. The American Society of Civil Engineers gave the U.S.’s infrastructure report card of a D+, citing that over a quarter of bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete, 8% higher than the statistics from the Department of Transportation.
Tabitha Holowka Columnist Further, they put out the figures that only 35 percent of our roads can be described as being in good condition, and 42 percent of our urban highways are congested; this latter statistic is estimated to cost about $27 billion in the general economy, according to federal highway administrator Greg Nadeau. While it is imaginable that this result may be biased, as civil engineers might be moving to secure themselves more work or simply have different standards than those of the federal government, their higher estimates may be necessary; congestion in Congress has prevented the passing of a long-term funding bill for the Federal Highway Trust Fund and is showing no signs of picking up the pace. Nadeau cites that $100 billion total in 2015 in federal funding was allocated
to highways and bridges, via shortterm bills, amounting to 1 percent of federal spending. There exist estimates that we ought to be spending at least $170 billion. The ASCE projects a longterm funding number at $3.6 trillion by 2020 for a full revitalization of the nation’s infrastructure. The Fast Act was a transportation bill, passed this last December, that promised five years of transportation funding, but is criticized as woefully insufficient. Projects can take several years to plan, so the short-term funding is not meeting needs. So far, this is mostly regarding federal investment with its own funds. States that receive federal aid have the decision to allocate more money to their infrastructure; however, without a topdown bill, states that cannot be certain of government funding are less likely to invest in these larger projects. The Federal Highway Trust Fund’s main source of revenue has been gas tax. As John Oliver pointed out, the gas tax hasn’t been raised in over 30 years. While revenue has stagnated, cost of maintenance has risen,
Suggestions for better night life Going to the local bars is something that students can enjoy while staying here in Bowling Green. The bars are the places to get a good bite to eat, play some games, and enjoy the company and community. Many people like to hang out at the bars over the weekends. The weekends are nothing but fun because there is so much dancing and socializing. One thing, however, that stands out to me is how creepy males can be in the bars. Most people will dance and attempt to have a good time, while some guys will just stand to the side and stare creepily at girls dancing. I understand that some dudes want to get with a girl, have sex, have fun, whatever. But you shouldn’t be standing to the side staring at a girl like she’s some piece of meat. Some guys actually try to get a girls attention by just looking at them as if they are about to prey on them. I mean, some dudes can get pretty hostile about what they’re looking for when they enter a bar establishment. Majority of the bar fights that have taken place are mostly been about two guys fighting over a female to dance with. There is apparently
Torrance Vaughan Columnist a thing where guys feel like they have to have claim and control a girl in the bars. If someone tries to dance with that girl or talk to that girl, the guy suddenly feels threatened which could be a turn off for the girl who’s just causally dancing and trying to have a good time. Guys need to realize that no girl is going to come dance with you if you’re looking sketchy. The way to approach a girl is to have a good time, mingle, and dance. If you’re on the dance floor, and you just happen to make eye contact with a girl, she’ll acknowledge that and if she wants to dance with you more or talk more, she’ll come up to you. I’ve given a nickname to all the guys who stand in the corner. They’re called “Corner Creeps” and you can pretty much find them in any bar, it’s a given you will.
Guys, do not become a Corner Creep. It’s creepy to girls and it just makes you look sketchy. If you’re not into the dancing scene, go sit at the bar and mingle and talk to people like that. Attracting girls or anyone you want to talk to isn’t just about standing to the side of the dance floor in the corner with nice clothes on and expecting someone to come up to you every single time like you’re Jay-Z or Brad Pitt. I get approached by girls all the time in bars, not in a intimate or a “I wanna take you home with me” aspect, but in a friendly aspect, which is where every dude should start off. Get to know a girl as a friend, and not like her private parts will determine whether you will have a good time that night or not. If she’s not interested, move on. There are plenty of other girls out there. Whatever you do, just make sure you do not become one of the “Corner Creeps”. Respond to Torrance at thenews@bgnews.com
naturally due to inflation. In trying to piece all this together, it would be up to economists to determine what ought to be done. An immediate action would include finally raising the gas tax; however, one of the forces working against this is industry lobbyists work to keep transportation costs low. The only presidential candidate that has an infrastructure platform present in his run is Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont, yet he neglected to vote on the December Fast Act bill. Hell, we could include Donald Trump’s “wall” as an infrastructure initiative, and if he is elected then perhaps he would consider the larger infrastructure needs as well. With the nearby crises in Flint and Toledo, there is infrastructural disaster on the horizon unless we begin to see infrastructure as a nationally shared dire need. Personally, I will be looking to the candidate who considers it as such. Respond to Tabitha at thenews@bgnews.com

By Aaron Parker Sports Editor The Bowling Green State University Board of Trustees approved the parlor fee proposed by Director of Residence Life Sarah Waters at its meeting on Feb. 19. The parlor fee is an annual charge that Greek Organizations will pay for living in one of the Greek units. Chapters will pay a rate of $1,200, $6,000 or $9,000, depending on the size of the unit they are living in. “When we entered into the process for building Greek housing, the idea that the project needed to be self-sustaining was put on the table,” Waters said. “What selfsustaining means is that the revenue that
comes in pays for everything associated with that project.” In addition to paying back the $37 million project, the fee is also meant to supplement the cost of “non-revenue generating space,” according to Waters. Those spaces are typically the rooms without beds. A common area is normally given to students in residence halls on each floor in addition to a kitchen shared by the entire building. Those spaces are considered non-revenue generating space and are paid for through the cost of living in student’s tuition, according to Waters.

Continued from Page 2 family’s hometown, and the University, where the couple met as students. Before hitting Bowling Green Tuesday, the Klassens had completed 68 miles. Each time they run a leg, the Klassens write a blog post about raising their children with autism. “It’s been really uplifting for us to see that we’re kind of making people more aware of what goes on in the life of a family with autistic children,” B. Klassen said. Wilbur Hasselbart, a close friend of the Klassen family, came to the Bowling Green leg to support the family, riding along the runners in a golf cart. At 89, Hasselbart has been selling 50/50 tickets for 20 years at the University, recently hitting $150,000. “They [Brent and Katie] just care for them beautifully,” Hasselbart said. “The boys can’t talk. I’ve been praying that they could say mommy and daddy…They [Brent and Katie] give them everything they need. It’s wonderful.” Another close family friend Joe Farinella came to the University to join
the Klassen’s run, along with his wife, pushing their son in a stroller. “We felt compelled to come out and support this great cause,” Farinella said. “Lexi and Brent are literally our heroes, and this was a little way that we could support autism at large and get some exercise.” Both Klassen parents attended the University, graduating in 2002. Brent played basketall for the Falcons and majored in marketing. He now stays home to care for Kolden and Aithan. Alexis used her University degree to become a dentist. Side 2 Side—Ohio Wide will be hosting Light It Up BLUE, a quarter mile walk, wheel, push or carry for those with special needs on April 2 in honor of National Autism Awareness Day. The run will begin at 1 p.m. in front of Woodville Elementary School. The community is encouraged to join the sidelines to support those making the quarter-mile journey to raise awareness for autism. For more information about the campaign visit the Klassen’s blog at http:// www.side2sideohiowide.com/ or the Side 2 Side Facebook page.

Hockey prepares for semifinal round By Zane Miller Sports reporter The Falcon hockey team will play a one game series against the Minnesota State Mavericks on Friday afternoon at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan for the semifinal round of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Final Five. This will be the third consecutive Final Five appearance for the team, which has been a part of each Final Five since joining the WCHA in 2013. However, the team has yet to advance past the semifinal round. “I don’t think you can teach experience,” Falcon’s head coach Chris Bergeron said. “We have to live through it and hopefully after living through it, the next time you’re in that situation, whatever it may be, you’re more prepared and you react better.” The team has played Minnesota State both at home and on the road throughout
the regular season, going 1-1-2 combined in there,” Bergeron said. “Year two it was 12 the four games played. hours through the night and all that kind “Not only did we play of logistics of it. We want them four times this the mentality to be ‘we’re year, we’ve played them getting on the bus to win a bunch over the past a championship.’” three years,” Bergeron The game will be the said. “We’ve learned only afternoon game that they’re a really that the Falcons have good team… Their top played in this season, guys are those older with puck drop schedguys who have been in uled at 4:07 PM. this situation before. “Obv iou sl y t he That’s what makes the day looks different,” challenge difficult.” Bergeron said about the The team is also - Chris Bergeron, Head Coach early start time. “But it’s remaining focused on really from an afternoon taking home the league perspective so we’re championship despite the importance of talking about that down time, that relaxthis weekend’s events. ation time... we’ll eat an hour earlier.

the morning up until after they eat is going to pretty much look the same.” The team is also not preparing differently for Friday’s game despite it only being a one game series. “We try to be a team that talks about every day as another opportunity and ‘let’s take advantage of today’s opportunity.’ That’s one game at a time, one practice at a time,” he said. “My opinion is that a healthy rivalry is developing between these two schools, who up until three years ago really didn’t know a whole lot about each other. Again because of the example they’ve set with their winning, they’re a program we want to be like.” If the Falcons defeat Minnesota State in Friday’s game, they will face either the Michigan Tech Huskies or the Ferris State Bulldogs for the WCHA Final on Saturday night in another one game series.

Falcons end season with loss By Evan Hayes Sports Editor The Bowling Green State University womens basketball team wrapped up their season on March 17, losing to the University of Buffalo in the opening round of the MAC conference tournament. The loss dropped the Falcons to a final record of 10-18 overall and a 6-12 in conference record. Despite an up and down season that saw multiple winning and losing streaks, the Falcons improved their winning percentage from last season, going from a .300 record in 2014-15 to a .357 record in 2015-16. The Falcons also improved their in-conference record, going .333 this year, up from .111 in 2014-15. “We’re going to take a lot of things out of this, and hopefully use it in the spring and the beginning of next season to fuel us,” head coach Jennifer Roos said. Senior Lauren Tibbs led the team in scoring and rebounding for the season, averaging 12.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game while also shooting a team best 54.8 percent from the field. Freshman guard Sydney Lambert was second on the team with 9.4 points per game while also drilling 56 three-pointers at a 40.6 percent clip, and senior Miriam Justinger was third on the team with 8.8 points per game. Justinger, who started at least 22 games in all four of her seasons at BG, reached 1,000 points for her career against Miami this season and finished tied for 25th on the all time career scoring list
with 1,027 points. Tibbs, a graduate transfer from Marquette, had 350 points and 195 rebounds in her only season at BG and was selected to the All MAC third team. “It’s always been a great environment here, with amazing support from my family and friends,” Justinger said. The two seniors will be sorely missed, both for their on-court contributions and leadership, Roos said. “Two of the best decisions I’ve ever been involved with were recruiting those two kids,” Roos said. The Falcons were able to stay mostly healthy throughout most of the season after last season’s struggles with injuries. Losing junior forward Ashley Tunstall down the stretch to a knee injury was the only injury that caused a Falcon to miss extended time. Pre-season All MAC selection Erica Donovan also left the team in December for personal reasons. Despite losing Justinger and Tibbs to graduation, 10 of the 12 players from this year’s squad will return next season. Lambert, who was named to the MAC All Freshman team, and sophomore guard Rachel Myers will return in the backcourt after starting all 28 games for BG this year. With experienced members coming back for another year and valuable experiences gained throughout this season, the Falcons will look to continue their upward trajectory and make some noise in the MAC next year.
Albert Leslie “Les” Disher, 76, resident of Whitehouse, Ohio, died unexpectedly on March 10, 2016. Born on October 21, 1939 to Orville and Thelma Disher in Toledo, Les graduated from Anthony Wayne High School in 1958 and went on to attend The Ohio State University. An avid fan and supporter of BGSU sports, Les was a beloved figure to both the men and womens basketball teams. Les was a season ticket holder for BGSU sports since the late 1970’s and was a sponsor of the Jr. Falcons, which he helped to resurrect after Men’s Head Coach Michael Huger’s return to the program this past year. Les became a fixture at the Stroh Center over the years, often greeting the players and coaches as they came out onto the court with hand shakes and hugs, and he was often in the stands at many away games to support the Falcons. Les developed lasting personal relationships with players, coaches and administrators at BGSU, sharing his wisdom and life experience while showing support and encouragement. When Disher passed during their postseason run in this year’s MAC tournament, the mens basketball team honored him by wearing patches inscribed with “LD” on their jerseys, while many players also wrote “Les Disher” on their sneakers. “He was one of the most genuine people I have ever met,” mens basketball head coach Michael Huger said. “I remember being a young 18 to 22 year old college kid and having Les embrace me as a student athlete and person. We kept in touch throughout the years, and he was always someone I looked up to as a person. When I got hired as the head coach last spring, Les had tears in his eyes because he had watched me grow from a young student athlete, to the leader of our program.” Les was also an active member of the community in Northwest Ohio, helping as a founding member of Community Christ Lutheran Church
in Whitehouse where he served as council President. He was also a Waterville Township Trustee, as well as serving on the Ohio 4-H Advisory board and as a 4-H Advisor. He was a member of the AW FFA, Ohio FFA Council, Lucas County Farm Bureau, Lucas County Ag Society, President of the Spring Green Foundation, BGSU Falcon’s Club and Champion’s Circle and the Awake Community Coalition, among others. “Les was one of the most genuine people I have known because he positively impacted everyone he met,” womens basketball head coach Jennifer Roos said. “Not only was he an avid supporter of BGSU athletics, his community involvement in Northwest Ohio was second to none.” While his presence on the sidelines will be sorely missed by the BGSU athletics program and community as a whole, his charity and support will be remembered by all those he came in contact with. “There is no way to replace a Les Disher, but he will always be remembered by anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him. For Les, the greatest reward he could receive was to see our players grow from boys to men, and leave BGSU with a sense of self worth and core values. He has made all of us better people and is leaving this world a better place,” Huger said. “As we continue to have student-athletes come in and out of our program, I will always make sure they know who Les Disher was, and I will continue to pass down the lessons Les has taught me.” Disher is survived by his wife of 54 years, Doris Ann, as well as his daughter, Amy Sue McGee of Canal Winchester, Ohio. Funeral services were at 11am on Wednesday, March 16 at Community of Christ Lutheran Church, 6517 Finzel Rd., Whitehouse Ohio. Burial was at Whitehouse Cemetery. The family requests that all donations be given to the church or the AW Alumni Association for FFA Scholarships. To leave an online memory please visit www.dunnfuneralhome.com
