FIGHT: Max Grover is restrained by the referee after a second period brawl in BG’s 10-2 loss to the Miami RedHawks on Saturday. Grover, who started the fight, received a game misconduct along with three other players. In total, the game featured 166 penalty minutes.

Mike Lyberg is predicting a tuition increase next fall. “When the University administration says they’re considering a [tuition] raise, expect to see it on your next bursar bill,” said Lyberg, a 48-year-old freshman commuter of North Baltimore. Following a 3.5 percent tuition increase this spring, Chief Financial Officer Sheri Stoll said it’s highly likely tuition will be raised again to help alleviate the loss of another $8.3 million in state funding for the next fiscal year. And while the University Board of Trustees will probably not vote on an increase until its June meeting, Stoll said she likes to give students a heads up. “I’m sure students are going to be very, very disappointed,” she said. “It’s not a pleasant message to deliver.” Lyberg is not happy about a possible increase from the $9,360 he already pays per year as an Ohio resident, but he understands these tough decisions have to be made. Lyberg, who is going back to school full-time to get his bachelor’s degree in athletic training, said he would deal with the higher cost because it’s becoming increasingly more important to have a four-year degree in today’s job market. “Realistically, I’m here because I have to be. I’ve crushed my 401(k), I’ve borrowed up to ... you know what,” he said. “All the jobs I’ve had ... you can’t get anymore without a bachelor’s degree. They put your resume over there and interview someone else. It comes down to a box on an application.” Gov. Ted Strickland lifted Ohio’s two and half year tuition freeze last July, putting a 3.5 percent cap on the amount public and private colleges and universities can raise their tuition for the next two years. And while the University waited until January to dig deeper into students’ pockets, President Carol Cartwright said raising it again for fall is definitely an option to get costs back in line. The University will have a better idea about an increase toward the end of the semester, she said, but a decrease in state support for higher education does put a heavier burden back on students. “I think we have to be modeling that,” she said. “We want to give students a good, strong signal.

The University has suspended associate professor Bruno Ullrich pending an internal investigation. University police arrested Ullrich, a physics and astronomy professor, Feb. 5 for aggravated menacing and inducing panic, both first degree misdemeanors. Ullrich made threats against fellow colleagues at the end of January, said Dave Kielmeyer, senior director of marketing and communications. He was suspended Jan. 22. The University released a statement saying Ullrich is not allowed to be on campus pending the completion of the investigation.

TUITION From Page 1
That’s the fair thing to do.� Chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents Eric Fingerhut said it’s important for students and parents to remember Ohio colleges and universities are faring far better than others in the nation. Because of the tuition freeze, Ohio four-year colleges and universities were ranked No. 1 for having the lowest one-year tuition increases in the nation in the annual College Board report “Trends in College Pricing 2008,� averaging a .20 percent increase in tuition costs. Fingerhut said making education as affordable as possible is always the goal, even if tuition has to increase every once in a while. “Tuition doesn’t cover the whole cost of an education. We all have to work together to keep expenses down,� he said. Three keys to raising education and prosperity is graduating more students, keeping more of those graduates in Ohio and attracting degree holders from out of state, according to the University System of Ohio’s 10-year strategic plan. Fingerhut
is confident that following the strategic plan will benefit students by making it easier to transfer credits from community colleges and by offering more bachelor’s degrees in more locations. In the long run, the strategies make getting a higher education more affordable and accessible, even if students have to pay a little higher tuition. “Our university main campuses like Bowling Green are comprehensive institutions. They have ‌ hundreds of majors, extracurriculars. Those are incredibly important and also incredibly expensive,â€? he said. “It’s increasingly the case that higher education is critical to success in the job market.â€? An ailing economy and fragile state budget do not bode well for the University’s finances, and Stoll said the University does not like having to charge those with less income and greater financial instability more. She said it all comes down to whether the state views higher education as an investment or expenditure. “[Higher education] will serve as your foundation for the rest of your life,â€? she said. Senior Justin Rutledge said if he can’t find a job in journal-
ism when he graduates with his bachelor’s degree in May, he’ll probably head to graduate school. A tuition increase doesn’t bother him too much, though. “It seems like they have no choice,� he said. “They need to spend money to make money. Students are going to be upset tuition is up, but they have to look at it this way ... the money has to come from somewhere.� A lot of graduate students will choose to go back to school if tuition is paid for, said Joshua Atkinson, grad coordinator for the School of Media and Communication Studies. He said the department will accept 50 out of 90 applicants and then only 15 to 20 will show up because most students can’t foot the bill alone. “Most people only go to grad school when they get funding,� Atkinson said. And because a lot of students in grad school aren’t paying their own tuition, the increase probably wouldn’t affect them. Rutledge said students who pay for their own education will probably take any tuition increase news especially hard, but no student should take getting a college degree for granted. “It’s a luxury, not a right.

you’re good enough to work your way in here, you have to pay for it,� he said. “No matter what, things are going to get more expensive.� Freshman Courtney Roesner doesn’t like the idea of taking out more loans to accommodate a tuition increase, but she said she’s committed for four years at the University regardless. “It sucks. We’re already paying so much and my family can hardly afford it right now,� she said. “I don’t think people who do have less should have to pay more. But you can’t really do much about it.� Getting a college education should be a privilege, not a necessity, Lyberg said. The value of an education has been cheapened because everyone needs a college degree to get jobs they may have 15 years of experience in, he said. But Lyberg said he will continue taking out student loans and living off his wife’s office salary. “I have no choice. Tuition is the price you pay for the professor’s time; that’s worth something. It’s the way the world works. But that doesn’t mean the president has to raise it. She can keep it down if she wants,� he said jokingly.

Piroth has been playing the game for eight years. “When I was in college, I saw it on TV,� Piroth said. “Everyone that tries it loves it and you get better so quickly.� Piroth also participates in the Bowling Green community’s club, which is separate from the student club. “It’s open to anyone,� Piroth said. “We’ve had people play until they are 80 years old.� The community club is offering open sessions for anyone interested in learning the game, especially after seeing the game played in the winter Olympics. Sessions will be held Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., and at the same times the following weekend. The curling rink is attached
by a lounge that provides a place for players to meet and greet after the games. “It’s a very social game,� Piroth said. Players also enjoy the polite company of the game. “Its a very sportsmanship and high etiquette game,� Gerker said. No matter what the age, there are opportunities for everyone to learn and get involved with the game whether it’s in a class or through joining a club. “Just come on in and we’ll teach you,� Derksen said. “I’d do it every day if I could.� The Bowing Green curling clubs can be found at http:// www.bgcurlingclub.com/

Unionization is not the solution to the University’s problems PHIL SCHURRER FACULTY COLUMNIST There is much discussion these days about the formation of a faculty union at the University. Sooner or later, a vote will be taken to determine whether a union should be formed. This proposal should be voted down, both on professional and institutional grounds. A faculty union will serve neither the interests of the faculty nor the University. The essence of unionism is self-protection. This is antithetical to the notion of professionalism, in which professionals place service above self. Professionals take — or “profess” — a vow of service to the public. The professional vocation (or calling) of the faculty is in direct opposition to the goals of unionism. There could very well be a conflict of interest between professionalism, as properly understood, and the aims of a faculty union. Stated somewhat baldly, professionals should not belong to any union as currently thought of or practiced today. Just as owners of private property have a “social mortgage,” or obligation to use that property for the common good without relinquishing their ownership, professionals have an obligation to use their position, knowledge, skill and social standing for the common good. In the context of a university faculty, this “social mortgage” involves not only students, but also parents, future employers, alumni, administration, staff and the public at large who are footing a good portion of the bill for the University’s activities. A true sense of profession-
alism, which should ideally animate the actions of the faculty and serve the public, runs directly counter to the union paradigm of turf boundaries, work rules and placing the group (i.e. the union) above the public interest. When push comes to shove, unions expect their members to band together to stand up to any and all opposition, e.g. ,“management” or “the administration.” So much for public service. Institutionally, a faculty union would tend to exacerbate and deepen any latent and not-solatent rifts that already exist between the faculty and administration. Unionism would further fracture the interests of the various University constituencies. At the same time, we all need to come together and unite in facing financial, enrollment and educational challenges and finding solutions. A faculty union would foster and deepen an “us versus them” mentality and thus destroy any collegiality. In a faculty union environment, it’s entirely that possible a faculty member would no longer be able to have lunch with the department chair with the same ease and sense of camaraderie and candor as before. Some unspoken wall could well form; after all, the chair is part of “management”, the faculty member is not. This cleavage in our common interests would tend to aggregate us into groups where turf issues predominate, and you’re judged by what group you’re in rather than on what you can contribute. Some would respond that a union is needed to articulate and voice faculty complaints to the administration. A caution is in order here: think very carefully
about what constitutes a “complaint” — and who is pointing it out. Frankly, folks, we’ve got it pretty good here. As faculty, we have wide latitude in how our jobs should be performed. We work with others in an environment that is largely centered on ideas. We are free to engage in conversation, discussion and disagreement without much fear of retribution by our employer. In no way does our situation compare with workers of yore in any field. Not many others today in our economy can say that — assuming they’re even employed. Certainly we face problems, and there will always be people who are more than willing to draw our attention to them. It frankly doesn’t take any special skill or talent to engage in faultfinding; the world is full of these practitioners. Sometimes they find fault so they can heighten our sense of dissatisfaction and lower morale to further their own agenda. At bottom, this entire atmosphere of fault-finding creates jealousy and resentment and devolves into a power struggle. Much time and many resources on both sides are spent in positioning for power — time that could have been spent on solving problems and helping others. There was a time when unions were a necessity in protecting the rights and dignity of workers. But, for the faculty at the University, we have bigger things to do than get bogged down in squabbles over real or imagined wrongs or slights. Certainly, the University needs a union to solve its problems — a union of all of us. Respond to Phil at thenews@bgnews.com
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR City police left out of article on underage drinking We are writing in response to the article, ‘Hospital visit for underage drinking can lead to citation.’ While the article was factually accurate, we think a major perspective was left out: the University police. The University police and the Bowling Green city police operate differently. While any officer on either police force can issue a citation, University police officers use discretion in deciding if a citation should be issued. According to Chief Wiegand, the main priority for the University police department is student safety. “Our goal is to make sure someone is not left
totally intoxicated and unable to care for themselves,” Chief Wiegand said. Tragedies can occur if students are involved in underage drinking and are too afraid to call for help when someone’s life is in danger. If a student calls the campus police, 419-372-2346, from their cell phone, the responding officer’s priority is getting the person in danger to the hospital and after that decide to issue a citation or not. On a first offense, University police officers can refer a student to the student discipline system instead of issuing a citation. This is a big difference between the two police departments. USG would like to pass Lifeline Legislation in the city of Bowling Green. Lifeline Legislation gives

underage people some type of immunity in life threatening situations involving alcohol. Assuming a few conditions are met, like calling the police and staying with the person in danger until they arrive, underage students would not be issued citations. Chief Wiegand supports a law like this in Bowling Green, but after an initial conversation with Chief Spencer of the city police, he is not as supportive. Whether or not a law like this is in place, the number one goal of the University police department is safety. Students need to remember that if they’re involved in a dangerous situation, they need to take appropriate action to save their friend’s life and not worry about a citation.

THE LEGEND OF BONES MALONE
KEITH PAKIZ | THE BG NEWS
Mayer’s language contradicts his supposed ‘good guy’ image By Matt Liasse Guest Columnist
The man who once said he was “waiting on the world to change,” with the same lips, has completely degraded a handful of women. There once was a time when John Mayer was labeled a lady swooner. Sensitive songs like “You’re Body Is A Wonderland” and “Daughters” put the star on the map, while his transformation with the very political album “Continuum” made him a cultural phenomenon. Some critics proclaimed him the best guitarist of the current college student’s generation. Mayer even created an image of himself as the lovable jokester women could enjoy. Then things turned sour. The March issue of Playboy shows a different side of Mayer, a side he never showed in his songs about the love of his life or world peace. Within the pages, an article quotes Mayer talking badly about his ex-girlfriends. He called Jessica Simpson “sexual napalm,” saying she was like “crack cocaine.” Of Jennifer Aniston, he insisted she wished she could go back to her career prime back in 1998, also criticizing her for not getting on board with new technolo-
gies popular in Hollywood (like Twitter.) If that’s not enough to give you a new outlook of Mayer and your stomach can handle more, issues of race came up in the article, creating yet another instance that Mayer should have just stopped talking. Using the “N”-word, he said he doesn’t care to date black women, calling his penis a “white supremacist.” There are a number of things wrong with the quotes the article printed, and Mayer recognized that when he took to his Twitter account on Feb. 10 to apologize. “… [W]hile I’m using today for looking at myself under harsh light, I think it’s time to stop trying to be so raw in interviews,” he wrote in a number of different tweets. “… I’ve created somewhat of a monster. I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock. I don’t have the stomach for it.” The apology continued. Onstage in Nashville, during his last song, Mayer tearfully extended another apology to the crowd, saying, “In the quest to be clever, I completely forgot about the people that I love and the people that love me.” He added that he has fallen into a “wormhole of selfishness and greediness and arrogance,”
saying he was consistently searching to be witty during the entire interview. Apology or not, this masochistic way of thinking with a hint of racism is everything wrong with the world in which we live. When thinking of how the world should change, as Mayer has put into our minds with his tune, the stereotypes and the acts of degrading our neighbors should be the first to go. This man plays a gentleman in his music, but the first chance he got, he rudely exploited the women who once trusted him. And to use issues of race as a joke and talk badly about a group of people that have seen more discriminatory actions against them than Mayer ever will is just heart-breaking. How could this man be so mindlessly cruel? Mayer should not be let off easily for his hypocritical comments. As much as he wants to play it up like they were, there was nothing “witty” about his comments. He has hurt many people, two named Simpson and Aniston. I hope everyone sees his recent moves as idiotic and maybe the world will change by using Mayer as the perfect bad example. Respond to Matt at thenews@bgnews.com

Sex is worth waiting for, no matter the sex education you receive When posed with the question, “Why wait?”, abstinence-only programs may be perceived as giving the unhelpful but firm reply, “Because I said so.” Meanwhile, our consumerist society laughs condescendingly and urges us, “Just do it.” Neither party answers the question as they build their argument. While one side offers dangers and risks, the other brushes them off with a variety of products and procedures in an attempt to meet any concerns. But really, why wait? It is not “abstinence-only” that provides

location or recreation. Before signing paperwork to commit to a university and make a tuition payment, really think about what you strive to get from your higher education. Take it from someone who made a poor decision to simply follow some money and the prospect of fun in the sun; there is so much more to the college experience than all of that. None of us will stay 18 for-
the answer, nor an instant gratification theory. Why wait? Because you have dignity. Why wait? Because sex is so much more beautiful and meaningful than mere entertainment. Why would waiting help a marriage prosper? Because waiting builds self-control and demonstrates value of commitment and responsibility. As my own mom testifies from her experience, even though waiting was hard at times, it strengthened her and my dad’s marriage. They can trust each other, knowing they both have a deep commitment. And what an amazing gift marriage is! Perhaps we are beginning to lose sight of how wonderful it is. A man and a woman commit to serve each other in love, for better or worse, until death. They share with each other all they have to give and join in the very intimate union of their bodies. Together they become one body. And from this beautiful embrace may come new life. Sex is SO beautiful. Let us not forget it.

We must all grow up and mature and as you do that and approach the ‘real world’ and the idea of ‘big kid jobs’, you don’t want to wake up and realize four years ago, your priorities were not set straight and your college education was a waste. This is not cheerleading for Bowling Green; this is encouraging you to go where you will be happy, now and for the next four years because after that, college is over and you are officially an on-your-own adult. So, with that said, good luck and happy searching.

RedHawk down Otis Polk dominates the paint in win over Miami
Rain, losses put damper on Falcons trip to Florida Zada Lines
By Paul Barney Assistant Sports Editor
Pitched more than any other BG player this weekend.
After a consistent downpour on Friday at the Sunshine State Classic in Tallahassee, Fl., the BG softball team saw its first two games of the season against Mercer and Florida State rained out. Due to the steady rain, BG had to play two double-headers on consecutive days, leaving with a 1-3 record to open their season
By Paul Barney Assistant Sports Editor
All season, BG men’s basketball coach Louis Orr has praised the importance of attacking the paint. The Falcons worked it to perfection against Miami yesterday, outscoring the RedHawks 40-16 inside the painted area en-route to a 67-64 win. BG got off to a slow start, and Miami was on fire early, as they jumped out to an early 10-2 lead just under four minutes into the game. BG battled back and cut the deficit to one point, but the RedHawks were hot from the floor, shooting 11-for-22, including 6-for-10 from behind the arc to take a 33-27 lead at the half. Nick Winbush, who entered the game averaging 9.7 and four rebounds per game for MU, had 12 points and six rebounds in the game’s first 20 minutes. However, BG overcame the slow start and got the crowd and itself back in the game in the second half. Down 33-29, Otis Polk brought BG to within one after he threw down a dunk on a fast break. Just over a minute later, Polk did it again, and this time, he gave the Falcons a 35-33 advantage for their first lead of the game. “I haven’t seen Otis in that position too many times when he’s finishing the fast break,” Orr said. “Anytime a big man is running, you just pray he catches the ball.” BG increased its lead to eight before Miami cut it to five at the 15:23 mark, which ended a 14-0 run by the Falcons. “When Polk beat us all down the floor on that break, that kind of showed me their energy versus our energy,” Miami coach Charlie Coles said. “[The 14-0 run] kind of got us.” Clinging to a 60-58 lead with 0:23 remaining in the game, the Falcons did exactly what they had to do to close out the game, which was make their free throws. BG went to the line eight times in the final 0:23, making 7-of-8 to seal the win. The Falcons’ big men were crucial in the win, as Marc Larson, Erik Marschall and Polk combined for 38 points. Marschall led the way with 17 points, two behind his careerhigh, while Polk nearly had a double-double with 12 points and

PUNCH OUT: Tomas Petruska exchanges blows with a Miami player in BG’s loss to the RedHawks. By Brad Frank Reporter
Sabrina Forstein is setting the bar for her teammates. The senior pole vaulter won her second consecutive individual title Saturday at the AllOhio Championships, where her mark of 3.74 meters now stands as the second-best in school history behind her own record of 3.75 set in the team’s previous meet. Heading into the MidA merica n Conference Championships in two weeks, she is providing an example for her teammates to follow if they want to come away as conference champions. Also leading the way for BG is freshman Jeanette Pettigrew, who won the 60 meter dash for the third time this season. She also won the 200 meter dash and was part of the 4x400 meter relay team that placed second. Heather Conger won the

On the strength of these individual performances, BG earned a second-place finish Saturday with 124 points in 17 events. From the MAC, Miami placed first and Ohio finished fourth. Full meet results are available on the sports blog. The team is looking to build from both its progress so far this season and on Saturday’s outcome heading into the MAC Championships. “We just have to build off

what we did today and continue to be confident going forward ... and go for it when it comes time to compete,” said coach Cami Wells. “We understand what we’re up against as far as the competition level and that when it gets to that meet, it gets harder and harder to score along the way. They’re ready to get in there and fight for every last point and continue to build from last year going into this year and the outdoor season after that.” The Falcons will compete next in two weeks at the MAC Championships in Mount Pleasant, Mich.

as Palmer skated in, shot the puck off Hammond’s blocker, and it deflected straight up in the air. It hung there for what seemed like forever, before landing behind the Hammond and trickling into the net. “It went off my blocker straight up into the air and after that I think I was the only person in the arena who didn’t know where it was,” Hammond said. BG went on the power play a minute later, but they did not get a strong scoring chance on it. While BG played great Friday, they played the complete opposite on Saturday, as Miami controlled the game from the opening faceoff, in a game that closely resembled a circus. Much like Friday, Miami got off to a fast start, scoring three minutes into the game. They went up 2-0 on a goal three and a half minutes later. However, the story of the game was the shenanigans that took place in the second period. With 23 seconds to go in the period, BG’s Max Grover lost an edge and ran into Miami goalie Connor Knapp. Several Miami players took exception, and immediately piled on top of Grover, inciting a brawl behind the net. After a fairly lengthy delay, BG’s Grover and James Perkin were given five minute majors, 10 minute misconducts, and

game disqualifications, meaning they will be suspended for Friday’s game against Notre Dame. Two Miami players were also given misconducts, and Alden Hirschfeld, who was the first to go after Grover, was also given a disqualification. “I think [Grover] was just finishing the play,” captain Kyle Page said. “I’m not sure if the whistle blew or not, but he dumped it in on the goalie, and he probably thought it was loose and took a poke at it.” In the third period, after Ian Ruel was given a charging penalty, Blasi and Williams were shouting at each other from the benches, and Blasi and one of the referees exchanged words, and he was ejected from the game. “He obviously didn’t like what I had to say.” Blasi said. In all, the game featured 166 penalty minutes, six misconducts, and four players and a coach being ejected from the game. Nine different Miami players had multiple points, and BG used all three of their goalies. Hammond was pulled after allowing four goals in 26 minutes. Nick Eno allowed five in 32 minutes, and Phil Greer, in his first game action of the year, allowed one goal in two minutes. BG next takes the ice Friday against Notre Dame at the BGSU Ice Arena.

Nurse, who connected on a shot from half-court before the buzzer sounded as the Falcons took a 39-30 advantage into the break. “Being able to go to halftime when Tamika threw in that halfcourt shot up nine [points] just gave us a sense of calmness that we were going to be okay,� Miller said. The Falcons were indeed okay as they opened another 10-0 run not even two minutes into the second half. BG didn’t look back from there, as they never had a lead go below eight points in the final 13:59 en route to a 16-point win. Prochaska led all scorers with 22 points, while freshman Allison Papenfuss provided a big lift off the bench with 13 points and six rebounds in 21 minutes. “We needed a spark rebounding wise and just an energy person,� Miller said. “At the offensive end we thought [Allison] would bring us some energy on the boards and some toughness, and I thought she did exactly that. She was a big spark and big part of the game.�
BG was coming off a game in which they were dominated on the boards 43-27 against Central Michigan, so out-rebounding the Bobcats 35-28 on Saturday was just what Miller wanted to see from his team. “After the Central Michigan loss coach was talking about being physical and rebounding,� Papenfuss said. “Anytime that I can get in there and beat some people around to try and get the ball I’m okay with that.� Also leading the way for BG was Tara Breske, Tamika Nurse and Tracy Pontius, who combined to scored 25 points. Another key component to the Falcons’ win was their ability to take advantage of opportunities. BG had 32 points off 24 Bobcat turnovers. Also, the Falcons held Ohio’s top-three scorers, Jenny Poff, Jennifer Bushby and Da’Keisha Barnett, to a combined 11 points. In two games against OU this season, BG has held Poff, Bushby and Mann to a combined 14 points. With the win, BG has a onegame lead over Akron and Kent State (both 9-3) in the MAC East race. The Falcons will next play on Saturday, Feb. 20, at Akron.

eight rebounds. The turning point in the game came when BG went on its 14-0 run to start the second half, which ultimately fed off its defense. “When we get stops on defense that gives us confidence on the offensive end,� Marschall said. “[Miami] kind of embarrassed us down in Oxford [and] we owed them.� The Falcons had lost by 12 points at Miami on Jan. 23, a game in which BG had only 14 points in the paint. The Falcons were able to reverse the trend the second time around with 20 points in the paint in each half yesterday. “When we play inside-out basketball and get our big [guys] easy baskets and get them involved around the basket, good things happen,� Orr said. “We have to be in attack mode, attack the basket and get easy shots. That’s when we’re at our best.� The win improves BG to 1311 overall and 6-6 in the MAC, while dropping the RedHawks to 11-14 overall and 8-4 in MAC play. BG will take the next few

Nevada officer saved from bullet by badge
Pa. police: Priest caught buying cocaine
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A police officer’s badge may have saved his life when it stopped a bullet during an exchange of gunfire in North Las Vegas. Police say the 31-year-old officer was patrolling just before 10 p.m. Saturday when he heard shots being fired in an apartment complex. While investigating, the officer came upon a person with a gun and opened fire. The officer returned fire and was hit. The bullet hit the badge and the officer suffered only minor injuries. The person with the gun fled. Police continued to search Sunday for the suspect, who might also be injured. The injured police officer’s name was not immediately released.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Roman Catholic priest from northeastern Pennsylvania is facing drug possession charges after police say he was caught buying cocaine in Philadelphia. Philadelphia police said Friday that 50year-old James B. Shimsky, a priest in the Diocese of Scranton, was arrested last month. Narcotics officers said they saw a man in a Jeep engage in a drug transaction the morning of Jan. 30 on a North Philadelphia Street. Police said they stopped the vehicle and found a small amount of cocaine inside. Diocesan spokesman William Genello said Shimsky is pastor of St. John Vianney Parish in Scott Township, Lackawanna County, and has been on a leave of absence since his arrest. A phone listing for Shimsky could not be found and he couldn’t be reached for comment.
Police: Fire charity scammer calls Pa. chief
3-legged dog wins 1st place in NYC shelter contest
Web designer sells Detroit lot for $1 per sq. inch
NORTH EAST, Pa. (AP) — A scam asking for donations for disabled firefighters in Northwest Pennsylvania was nipped in the bud when the con artist called the wrong number: that of the local fire chief. Crescent Hose Co. fire Chief Dave Meehl said the caller said he was collecting money for disabled firefighters. Right off the bat, he said he took all major credit cards. When Meehl told the man he was the fire chief, the caller hung up. Police in the Erie suburb of North East, where Meehl is chief, said they’ve had no similar complaints in recent days. But Meehl said others have told him they’ve gotten similar calls.
NEW YORK (AP) — A three-legged pitbull mix that played in a game of doggie baseball has won “Best in Show” at a talent competition held by one of New York City’s largest animal shelters. Nine dogs competed in Friday’s contest at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Prince impressed the judging panel the most with his feat of catching three baseballs. The nearly 2-year-old dog lost one of his legs and had a pin inserted in another after being struck by a car. The ASPCA’s senior vice president of the adoption center says Prince’s disability doesn’t hold him back. Gail Buchwald says he “struts his stuff like a winner.”
DETROIT (AP) — A Web designer is hawking square inches of an empty lot in Detroit for a dollar each to show what can be done with vacant spaces. Jerry Paffendorf says nearly 600 “inchvestors” have bought some of the 10,000 plots for sale in the “Loveland” art-and-real-estate project on Detroit’s east side. The 28-year-old says he bought the lot for $500 and profits are fed back into the project. He says some inchvestors buy one plot while others have taken 1,000, and they may do with the land as they wish. He says some plan to construct tiny buildings. Paffendorf told The Detroit News he is making a statement about what can be done with foreclosed property. He told the Detroit Free Press he will stream video of the site this spring.

GREENVILLE, Maine (AP) — State officials in Maine say witnesses who reported seeing a drowning snowmobiler on a lake were probably looking at an otter enjoying a snack. On Thursday, three people reported seeing a snowmobiler wearing all black and a black helmet struggling in Moosehead Lake. Officials used an airboat and flew overhead on both Thursday and Friday, but found no evidence that a person had gone through the ice. Cpl. Mike Joy of the Maine Warden Service tells the Bangor Daily News that authorities did find pieces of crawfish and a small bloodstain on the ice, indicating that at least one otter had been feeding there. He says the animal would have appeared black to those onshore, given the distance and the sun’s glare off the ice.
