University class helps food pantry through can-goods donations By Max Filby Reporter
The University class Leadership BG has the number 2,010 on their minds. The number 2,010 marks the donation goal the class hopes to reach by the University’s spring football game on April 16, 2010 for the Cans of Caring BG fundraiser. The group is relying on donations from students and community members, with proceeds and donations going to the Christian Food Pantry in Bowling Green. The student group will receive help from Meijer with donated collection boxes for the fundraiser. “Things like this — people donating — is what really helps,� said Shirley Woessner, director of the BG Christian Food Pantry. “We just had the HeeBeeBGs donate a ton of food too.� The BG Leadership stu-
has turned into one of the top teams in the nation. Since joining the RedHawks coaching staff, Begeron has helped guide a program that has made six NCAA tournaments and put together eight 20-win seasons. Miami has also had a berth in the past two Frozen Fours. Bergeron was selected after a nation-wide search which began in January, according to BGSU Athletic Director Greg Christopher. The search started with a list of over 20 names, and was finally narrowed down to a SEAN SHAPIRO | THE BG NEWS

simple drawing might provide hope for the 5.3 million people living with Alzheimer’s disease in the United States. Alzheimer’s, a brain disorder in which the body destroys brain cells causing memory loss, has no cure, but scientists and researchers say art therapy can help patients recall memories and stay lucid longer. Douglas Blevins, of Port Clinton, Ohio, has been living with Alzheimer’s for 11 years. Douglas, 69, and his wife Marian ignored the symptoms for four years before they finally went to the doctor. By then, Douglas’ Alzheimer’s had advanced from moderate to severe. Unfortunately, his Alzheimer’s had advanced too far for him to be a candidate for art therapy.

“He was too advanced; he couldn’t focus,� Marian said. “He didn’t have the patience for it. I think it would be different if we had caught it in the early on-set.� Marian was forced to put Douglas in a nursing home in December because she could no longer take care of him at home. At the nursing home, Marian sees the effect art therapy has on other Alzheimer’s patients. “They are happy when they paint,� she said. “Some of them can paint so well.� Art therapy is the concept of using art — ceramics, painting and drawing — as a therapeutic way for patients to express themselves, according to art therapist Jan Revill. Revill has worked with Alzheimer’s patients for 10 years at the Alzheimer’s Association in Toledo. The group has an outpatient service center for those suffering from the disease and provides programs like art therapy for patients. Although Revill has never researched the correlation between art and Alzheimer’s, she sees its effect. “It is something that we all have in common no matter where you live in the world, you have this concept of coloring, painting, of being artistic,� she said. “You see [the patients] stop asking for family, it seems like their anxiety lessens while they are doing
the art. That is very apparent and you do witness it.� Researcher and author Laura Levine Madori, who has been investigating the relationship between Alzheimer’s and the arts for almost 20 years, believes in the ability of art to help Alzheimer’s patients so much she developed her own method and wrote a book about the disease. Art, according to Madori, allows Alzheimer’s patients the ability to socialize with each other while concentrating on a certain topic. This exercises the brain and allows Alzheimer’s patients to recall long-term memories. “The arts can bring you back to your childhood,� Madori said. “Art stimulates, along with socialization, the memory recall of the brain.� Art provides patients with a therapeutic release and a chance to socialize with others, Madori said. “When someone starts to lose their short-term memory, when they have a normal conversation, they are feeling inadequate because we talk in person, place and time,� Madori said. “[We talk in] right-now issues. That is what slips away for a person with Alzheimer’s. But when you use art and find a topic, it allows a person to tap into long-term memories.� Memories are organized in the brain in terms of space, said Vern Bingman, University psychology professor. Space, Bingman said, is a cluster of

“Art stimulates, along with socialization, the memory recall of the brain.� Laura Levine Madori | Author memories people have around one aspect of their lives. People’s homes, college dorms and high school all hold memories of space, he said. “Space is an important contextual clue for memory,� Bingman said. “So many of your specific personal memories can be recalled because you can separate them from other memories based on where they occur in space.� Art could provide Alzheimer’s patients with the space needed to recall on long-term memories, Bingman said. “For people with Alzheimer’s, living in the moment is a good place to be, keep them calm at that moment, keep them happy at that moment and if we give them enough of those moments together, then they have had a great day,� Revill said. At the Alzheimer’s Association, Revill runs art projects including ceramics, kite making, painting, and every first Saturday of the month, patients are taken to the Toledo Museum of Art.

Miami as a player, Bergeron played professional hockey for seven years before returning to Miami as an assistant coach, where he helped lead a team that has made the past two Frozen Fours. “Bowling Green is in good shape with Chris at the helm. It’s bittersweet for us because we’re excited for him, but we are losing a big part of our program,� said Miami coach Enrico Blasi. The hiring brings coaching stability to a program that has gone through three coaches in three seasons. After Scott Paluch stepped down after the 2008-09 season, interim coach Dennis Williams held the position this past season. Under Williams, the Falcons compiled a 5-26-6 record and finished 11th out of 12 teams in the CCHA. “Dennis did a terrific job,� Christopher said. “Every coach at BGSU is a bridge to the future and Dennis Williams may be only one year, but it’s certainly significant for the stability this past year.� According to Christopher, it has not been discussed whether Williams will return to the staff.

CAMPUS Campus discussion board does more than just sell books By Angela Green Reporter
Instead of going to eBay, Craigslist or making an advertisement, University students and faculty, can use the discussion board under the community tab on MyBGSU. Doctoral student Mita Varghese created a post to sell her laptop. “Obviously the laptop is not new,” she said. “Students generally look for stuff at a reasonable price and it’s a good place to find a person who really wants it.” Varghese said she posted on the board because she thinks she’ll sell it faster. “If you have enough money, you don’t need to post or look here,” she said. “If you need something cheap, you’ll find it.” There are posts by people selling things from calculators to houses, and people can also post if they are looking for something in particular. But the board is more than just a place to buy or sell things. There is a ride board, off-campus housing, textbook exchange, tutoring, volunteer opportunities, and a faculty grant collaboration board in addition to the trading post board. Cindy Fuller, communications coordinator in Information Technology Services, said the boards were set up when Blackboard went live on Aug. 1, 2001. She also said in each thread, people can only view posts for the previous and current months, then the posts are taken down. The board is maintained by ITS within the Office of the Chief Information Officer. Senior Alexandra Leguire found the board simply by browsing MyBGSU. She posted because she had a room to rent and also

Nuhua artist visits campus for conference
“You can only post if you have a BGSU identification, so you know the person is real.” Alexandra Leguire | Senior offered a ride to Florida. “The ride board is hard to keep up with,” Leguire said. “It’s kind of sporadic.” People can post on the ride board asking for a ride or they can offer a ride if they have an extra seat. Leguire also said the board seems hidden on the Web site. “I wouldn’t have known about it if I hadn’t been actively looking,” she said. Graduate student Mandi Dewulf thinks the board could be more useful if more people knew about it. “It certainly is useful to some extent, but if more people knew about it, it could be more useful to everyone involved,” she said. Dewulf found the board by accident when she set up her Blackboard and decided to try it. She posted on the board twice. The first was for a garage sale her church was holding. Dewulf is also an Avon representative and posted to see if anyone was interested in buying or selling Avon. Dewulf said using the board has its advantages. It is free and can reach a broad audience. Leguire said the board seems safer than posting other places online. “You can only post if you have a BGSU identification, so you know the person is real,” she said. Leguire also said it is easy to negotiate with people on the board.

I would appreciate it if you would STOP parking your ugly white Honda in my parking spot. If you park there again, I will block you in and call a tow truck. Your cooperation on this matter will be highly appreciated. — THE GIRL IN THE ATTIC I’m getting tired of people who have started using shorthand abbreviations for phrases such as “omg”, “btw” or “jk” in their everyday speech. It’s one thing if you are going to use it in a text or instant messaging, but when you are talking, say actual words please. There is nothing lazier or dumber sounding than using these technological slang abbreviations when talking to people. So cut it out, and just laugh out loud instead of saying “lol.” — SPEAK CORRECTLY, FOOLS What the hell is happening with the Indians this year? They are now 2-5 and got swept by the freaking Tigers. No one should get swept by the Tigers. They really need to get a bullpen, and fast, otherwise it’s going to be another long year in Cleveland. Also, the cutting of Chris Perez from the team must happen quickly. The guy walked in the tying run against the Tigers and then threw a wild pitch to let the go-ahead run through to win after the Tigers were down by five in the seventh inning. Basically, they really need to kick their asses in gear before the city of Cleveland turns their backs on them, and after the history of sports teams in that city, abandonment from the fans would be saying something. — COME ON CLEVELAND

KYLE SCHMIDLIN FORUM EDITOR A 2007 video recently posted on the Web site WikiLeaks.org has caused quite a controversy for the U.S. military. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter, shows the killing of several Iraqis and two Reuters journalists. Actual numbers of dead vary from source to source, but most reported numbers are right around a dozen or so. After hovering above the civilians for a few minutes, one of the journalists’ cameras is apparently mistaken for a rocket-propelled grenade launcher (RPG). Pilots in the Apache open fire. Some time later, a van pulls up to pick up the wounded. The Apache fires on it, too, injuring two child passengers. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has defended the military personnel involved, citing such things as the “fog of war.” In general, media commentary has followed a similar and familiar course — sure, it’s a tragedy, but who are we to pass judgments and dispersions from
the comfort of our own homes while these kids are in a foreign land with their lives constantly on the line? The analysis on FOX News was pretty interesting. They point to the fact that one man was carrying an RPG and at least one other carried an AK-47 (in the video, a pilot claims at least five or six people are carrying AKs). According to the Washington Post, however, the RPG FOX claims was there was just the camera. The AK47s are hardly relevant — keep in mind we’re dealing with an Apache helicopter, essentially an airborne tank. One analyst during Megyn Kelly’s “America Live” said the rescue van, being unmarked, left itself open to attack. He even had the audacity to suggest the victims may have been in violation of the international law. Of course, criticism of the military can be a complicated thing to express with the religious conviction amongst so many segments of the population that the military exists to “defend our freedoms” and that we must always “support our troops.” Such slogans are as meaningless as “WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.” The meaning of the phrase
“support our troops” is never made clear. Does it mean we should, when faced with evidence such as the Apache helicopter attack, simply dismiss the fact that a floating gunship slayed a dozen people and attacked a van which carried children, accompanied by occasional laughter and inhuman remarks from the soldiers? The incident reminds me of a M*A*S*H episode in which a bombardier is shot down and sent to the 4077. He is excited to be treated and return to the sky until Hawkeye introduces him to a young Korean child, wounded by shrapnel from an American bomb. Having been high in the sky and detached from the consequences of his bombing, the pilot is smacked hard by reality and breaks down. It isn’t in the military’s interest to have combatants feel human emotions. If they did, killing would be virtually impossible. But maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad thing. I don’t know whether the military personnel involved deserve to be court-martialed and charged with murder, even if murder is what happened. They are trained to behave that way, and it’s a rigorous process to take all the humanity out of a human. But
maybe the guilty parties should meet the families of the dead, visit the hospitalized children, or see the destruction a bomb launched from above can cause. While I watched the video, I was constantly reminded of video games like “Metal Gear Solid 4” and “Call of Duty.” For the soldiers piloting the Apache, it must have felt like a video game. Maybe they were experiencing “combat high,” but laughing as a body is run over by a Bradley Fighting Vehicle certainly suggests they weren’t completely in tune with reality. The incident raises moral and ethical questions about the military, already well-known enough by those caring to investigate, and especially by those on the opposite side of our guns. One thing which seems fairly obvious is that military might is not the route to peace. The only way to arrive at that ideal is to begin treating all people of the world as human beings, rather than enemy combatants, insurgents or hostile people. Only then can such hopeful ideals become reality. Respond to Kyle at thenews@bgnews.com
Charter schools create unfair hierarchy PATRICK SAUNDERS FACULTY COLUMNIST Private or “charter” schools are very much in the news these days, as the President and his Secretary of Education see them as a key component in their “Race to the Top” initiative. Many educators see this as a thinly-veiled attempt to break teachers’ unions and turn public education into a “profit center” for private education corporations. Public schools are seen by most as the keystone of a democracy, where children of all backgrounds and races learn at an early age to interact with each other. This is the ideal, but has it been the reality? Public schools were the cornerstone of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, in which a section of land in each township was to be set aside for the construction of a public school. The funding model was a tax on the land of the people to support the school. In our region, this has remained a constant since the first settlers, for education has been seen as the element for a successful democratic society. This principle of free public education would follow the westward push of America across the continent, with the first public building erected in frontier communities being a schoolhouse.
Parts of the country did not follow this principle. In the Antebellum period in the South, public education was not espoused by the ruling elite. Poor whites were denied access to education as a control mechanism. The more affluent whites sent their children to private schools, which reinforced this class ideal. African-American slaves were forbidden by law to learn how to read, write and do mathematics. Anyone caught teaching them could be punished and the unfortunate slave put to death. It was not until Reconstruction that free public schools became prevalent in the South. The first teachers were northern whites who went south to help integrate 4 million former slaves into mainstream society. Schools were also open to poor whites for the first time, and education became accessible for all folks, no matter what color or position in southern society. Over the years, there have been many challenges to this idea, including the “separate but equal” public schools of Plessy vs. Ferguson that even came to the North. The civil rights struggle in the South in the 50s and 60s and the busing decisions of the 70s brought about a flight of white students to so-called “Christian academies” — heavily laden with irony in the sense that these “Christian” schools meant to keep races apart were named for one who died to bring all peoples together.
The flight of whites to private schools in the South caused the steady deterioration of the public school systems across it as school levies were regularly defeated by the white majority. Now, with the deindustrialization of America nearly complete, the tax base that supported public schools in the North, Midwest and West has collapsed, with the burden following on the shoulders of home owners. Wholesale changes to the tax code finished off the process by doing away with taxes on corporations and on those in the top 1 percent that were critical to support education, in Ohio particularly. All of this is happening despite the Ohio Supreme Court ruling four times that the method of funding Ohio schools is unconstitutional. The legislative and executive branches do nothing to bring it into compliance with the Constitution. Now, charter schools are seen as the answer to education challenges in urban settings, funded mainly by white-controlled nonprofit foundations and whitecontrolled for-profit corporations. The educational agendas of these private schools will not be accessible for input from parents or the community. These schools are exempt from the traditional responsibilities of the school to the community. The President’s educational initiative can be seen as a way to further corporatize the process and remove citizens from it.
This idea is based on the notion that, somehow, people of the community have created the preconditions and are to blame for the decline of their educational systems. The economic decline, politicians turning the tax code on its head or the flight of the affluent from the urban centers are, apparently, free from blame. We have seen the same thing happen in public higher education in Ohio. Tuition has skyrocketed in the last 20 years. This has changed the revenue stream. Public money is no longer the major component, tuition is. Corporate money has taken the place of public money in the revenue stream, but does not come without strings attached. The emphasis of a corporate mindset in administration decisions is an example of those “strings.” Restructuring the concept of what a “liberal education” is another. The elimination of empathybased courses and the institution of “real life”-based courses reinforces the “dog-eat-dog” culture of 21st century America. Where will this lead to, and what kind of society are we building? Many Presidents loved to allude to America as that shining city on the hill, a beacon to all of the nations of the world. Will that future “shining city on the hill” have a fence around it? Respond to Pat at thenews@bgnews.com

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The parents of slain San Diego County teenager Chelsea King want to send some child molesters to prison for life after a first offense. That was among the provisions of a bill Brent and Kelly King announced Monday in Sacramento with Republican state Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher of San Diego. The legislation, called Chelsea’s Law, also calls for some child molesters to be on lifetime parole with electronic monitoring. The body of 17-year-old Chelsea King was found last month in a park where she had gone for an afternoon run. John Albert Gardner III, who had previously been convicted of child molestation, was arrested and has pleaded not guilty to her murder.
HEMET, Calif. (AP) — California officials are trying to determine what started a blaze at a police firing range and whether it was connected to a string of attacks on police officers. Capt. Dave Brown said Monday investigators were probing the cause of the fire, which broke out around 2 a.m. He said the fire burned a converted trailer at the end of the range, though he didn’t immediately know the extent of the damage. The facility, in a remote area west of Hemet, was not occupied and no one was hurt. Since New Year’s Eve, police officers have been the targets of at least three potentially deadly booby traps, and a fleet of city trucks was set ablaze last month. Brown stressed it was too soon to connect the blaze to any other incidents.
HOUNSFIELD, N.Y. (AP) — A fire in an animal-feed silo triggered an explosion that killed a firefighter at a farm in northern New York where a barn blaze killed more than 100 cows three days earlier. Authorities say Sackets Harbor Assistant Fire Chief Garrett Loomis was near the top of the burning silo when it exploded Sunday morning. The 26-year-old was transported to the hospital in nearby Watertown where he was pronounced dead. The explosion occurred at the North Harbor Dairy Farm in the town of Hounsfield, 60 miles north of Syracuse. The farm lost 104 cows in a barn fire on Thursday. Both fires remain under investigation. Loomis became assistant fire chief in Sackets Harbor’s volunteer department last Tuesday.
MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) — Police have arrested two teenage boys in connection with a weekend shooting at an Oklahoma shopping mall that left one person dead and five others wounded. Muskogee police Capt. Chad Farmer says the 16- and 17-year-old boys were arrested Monday after officers found them hiding in a house. He says investigators are searching the home for weapons or other evidence that could tie the suspects to a shooting Saturday at the Arrowhead Mall that left a 17-yearold boy dead and five other people wounded. Farmer says police are searching for a 20-year-old suspect.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A judge refused Monday to release a man accused of making threatening phone calls to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over her support of health care reform. “If he is released, there a danger he will do what he threatened to do,� U.S. Magistrate Judge Bernard Zimmerman said about defendant Gregory Lee Giusti after a 20-minute hearing in federal court. Zimmerman refused to grant bail to the 48-year-old San Francisco resident, citing the alleged threats and Giusti’s criminal record, which includes two felony convictions and 13 misdemeanor convictions during the past 10 years. Prosecutors said Giusti made at least 48 calls to the San Francisco and Washington, D.C., offices of Pelosi between Feb. 6 and March 25. Pelosi told the FBI the caller had used “extremely vulgar and crude language� on two occasions when she answered the phone at her Washington residence. She
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A pickup truck spun out of control on a rainslicked freeway north of Los Angeles, causing a pileup that killed five people — four of them children — and injured six others, the California Highway Patrol said Monday. The three-car crash in the Newhall Pass closed the southbound lanes of Interstate 5 for about nine hours and came at the beginning of a storm that swept through Central and Southern California late in the season, dumping nearly an inch of rain over downtown. The driver of the red Mazda pickup lost control, spun into the center divider and overturned at about 11:55 p.m. Sunday, said CHP Officer John Lutz. A Nissan Altima carrying a family struck the pickup and was then hit by a Chevrolet Suburban, Lutz said. The crash killed the pickup’s driver, identified as John Blackburn, 54, of Frasier Park, Lutz said. Jessica Milan, a 27-year-old passenger in the Nissan, was hospitalized in critical condition. Her three children and nephew in the back seat died, and the driver, Francisco Enciso, 25, of Daly City, suffered major injuries, Lutz said.
Crews re-enter W. Va. mine to recover 9 bodies 29 miners killed in April 5 explosion, the worst mining disaster in 40 years, numerous violations at mine prompt state safety investigations after disaster By Tim Huber The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Searchers went back inside a wrecked West Virginia coal mine Monday to pull out more bodies as federal investigators prepared to launch their probe of the explosion that killed 29 men in the worst U.S. coal mining disaster since 1970. While some of the dead have been laid to rest, nine bodies
remained in Massey Energy Co.’s Upper Big Branch mine in Montcoal. Efforts to recover them were stalled when high levels of volatile methane gas forced crews out of the mine Sunday. After the tunnels were ventilated, one team entered around midnight Sunday and another went in about 5 a.m. Monday, state mine office spokeswoman Jama Jarrett said. A team of federal investigators

is expected to arrive Monday to start trying to figure out what caused the explosion. Richmond, Va.-based Massey has been under scrutiny for a string of safety violations at the mine, though CEO Don Blankenship has defended the company’s record and disputed accusations that he puts profits ahead of safety. Authorities have said high methane levels may have played a role in the disaster. Massey
has been repeatedly cited and fined for problems with the system that vents methane and for allowing combustible dust to build up. Hours after the blast, the company flew Gov. Joe Manchin back from a Florida vacation on one of its planes, Manchin said Monday. The governor’s top lawyer told him the use of the company’s plane was acceptable because it was an emergency situation and a flight on
a state plane couldn’t immediately be arranged. MourningcontinuedMonday, exactly a week after the explosion, with a wreath-laying ceremony at the state Capitol and a moment of silence planned for 3:30 p.m. President Barack Obama on Monday ordered all U.S. flags in the state flown at half-staff until sunset Sunday.

Log on to www.bgnewssports.com to watch Chris Bergeron’s first press conference as head coach of the BG hockey team. Tuesday, April 13, 2010

The right attitude... After ten years with one of the top programs in the nation, new BG coach Chris Bergeron brings a winning attitude to the Falcon bench. “Chris Bergeron has played a key role in Miami’s hockey program growing in national prominence. He has proven to be an excellent recruiter and will bring great energy and passion to his role as head coach at Bowling Green. The future of BG hockey will be very bright under his leadership. ” Tom Anastos | CCHA Commissioner
“As a player, Chris was a very good leader for Miami when it was becoming a national power. He took his leadership abilities into his assistant coaching position and helped the program succeed even more. It’s a very good hire and I have no doubt that Chris will help Bowling Green get back to the level they want to be back at and are used to being at.” George Gwozdecky | Former Miami head coach
“Chris has an incredible passion for the game. He can’t wait to get to the ice every day. He has a genuine desire to help student-athletes develop on the ice, in the classroom, and in the community. Everything he does, he’s going to do the right way. He’s an outstanding recruiter and has a great understanding of the game. He understands the importance of leadership and what it means to a team.” Steve Cady | Senior Associate Athletic Director
“Bowling Green is in good shape with Chris at the helm. It’s bittersweet for us because we’re excited for him, but we are losing a big part of our program. His passion and commitment to the game makes him an excellent choice.” Enrico Blasi | Miami head coach See Story by Ryan Satkowiak | Page 7
BG finishes fourth at Ohio Women’s Team Challenge By Brad Frank Reporter
Sabrina Forstein has won the pole vault in all three outdoor meets this season. She was one of three Falcons to place first Saturday at the Ohio University Women’s Team Challenge in Athens, Ohio. Like the competition at Toledo two weeks ago, the BG track and field team had many strong individual finishes, but that didn’t result in a favorable team outcome. BG placed last Saturday in the four-team field. Ohio won the meet with 219 points.
Heather Conger won the 1,500 meter run, and she continues to build on her very strong start to the outdoor season. In the previous two meets, she recorded a first-place finish and set a personal record in the 800 meter run, and has twice been named a nominee for the MidAmerican Conference athlete of the week award. Ashley Fischer won the 5,000 meter run by nearly 20 seconds, as BG landed the top three places for that event. A trio of Falcons achieved personal bests on Saturday. Brooke McCombs threw 12.55 meters in the shot put to earn
fourth place, while Danielle Thornton (1:00.28) and Paige Lane (1:02.93) each ran career bests in the 400 meter dash. “Overall, it was a positive day for the team,” said coach Cami Wells. “We had many season and personal bests set and competed well. “We still have many things to work on to be ready for the MAC meet, and we are looking forward to using this weekend’s AllOhio meet as a chance to step up to the challenge of higher level competition and a champion-

With past success, Bergeron has sights on turning BG into contender By Ryan Satkowiak Reporter
For new BG hockey head coach Chris Bergeron, it would have been very easy to step up to the podium at the Wilcox Board Room in the Sebo Center and talk about his credentials and why he was qualified for the job. The seventh coach in program history is certainly very qualified. An assistant at Miami University since 2000, Bergeron was part of a staff that won at least 20 games eight different seasons, and made six trips to the NCAA tournament, including back-to-back Frozen Four appearances. Working extensively with the RedHawks forwards during his tenure, he has successfully helped develop elite talent. Over the last three years, nine Miami forwards have been given All-CCHA accolades and three have earned All-American honors. Bergeron was also part of a coaching staff that help Enrico Blasi win CCHA coach of the year four times, as well as the ACHA National Coaching Staff of the year award in 2005-06. Bergeron touched on the traits that he brings to the program and his plans to return the team to glory. “Passion and loyalty are two words that I read in the Bring
Back the Glory handout and that’s who I am, and what I am is passionate and very loyal,” Bergeron said. Bergeron also played collegiately at Miami, serving two years as team captain. He helped lead the RedHawks to a CCHA championship his senior year. Bergeron talked about getting the players to buy into his way of doing things. “We are going to build the foundation of a family, and we are going to start today,” Bergeron said. “We are going to be holding each other accountable and we are going to set expectations very high. “Building trust [is key], and that’s through relationships; it has to start there. I don’t have relationships with them yet, and they have relationships with each other. I’m going to work as hard as I can to build those relationships with them.” He also said once a relationship is established between him and his players, it will be much easier for them to build trust and go from there. One of the main things he stressed was for the team to be champions on the ice, they cannot cut corners and also must be champions off the ice. “It’s something that if you’re not really into it and looking for shortcuts, that’s not going to be acceptable,” Bergeron said. “The expectations have to
“We are going to build the foundation of a family, and we are going to start today. We are going to be holding each other accountable and we are going to set expectations very high.” Chris Bergeron | BG hockey coach improve and they will improve. That starts with me and my staff, and then the players will follow along. “My vision for the program is to have a championship culture and that’s something that you can’t turn off and on. You can’t just be a champion on the ice and in the community, but not in the classroom. That is unacceptable; you will be a champion in everything you do or you will not be part of this program.” Bergeron served as one of the primary recruiters for a very talented Miami squad. Although he had a top notch facility and outstanding recent program success working in his favor, there should be little doubts that he will be able to get talented players to come to BG. With this year’s recruiting class already close to full, Bergeron said he is committed to bringing those players Williams recruited
into the program. “Unless they decided to walk away because they had committed to Dennis [Williams], which I would completely understand, I would tell them the same thing — that we are going to have to build this bridge quickly, because you don’t know me and I don’t know you.” There is no question Bergeron is qualified to lead a hockey program. He has the track record to back him up and he has received a strong endorsement from many, including CCHA Commissioner Tom Anastos and Denver Head Coach George Gwozdecky, who coached him at Miami. However, as Bergeron stressed in the press conference, it will take some time and things will not change overnight. Bergeron has shown he has a strong ability to lead and the hockey program appears to be in good hands. ANDREA FEHL | THE BG NEWS

The meet is one of the most competitive of the season, so the Falcons will look to be in top form. To do so, BG held out some athletes in certain
events to rest them for this weekend. Wells said the team was affected in its preparation for next weekend, but hopes the team will be rewarded with a strong showing. “There were a few events we didn’t enter this week to prepare for next week’s All-Ohio meet, so that hurt us some in the team scoring, but I felt we competed well in the events we were entered in and saw solid improvement,” she said.

The pins were stuck in some really difficult locations which made for a challenging day on the greens.� Among the other Falcon competitors, John Powers finished in a tie for 34th at plus-five 218, Parker Hewit was within five of the lead after a second round 68, but a Sunday 78 pushed him back into a tie for 39th with a total of 219. Wes Gates finished tied for 87th at 226, while Drew Preston continued his spring struggles, shooting a final round 78 to finish tied for 96th at 228.
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who won’t face criminal charges after a 20year-old college student accused him of sexually assaulting her inside a nightclub’s bathroom, said Monday he knows he’ll have to work to regain the trust of teammates and fans. Ocmulgee Circuit District Attorney Fred Bright said Monday that after exhaustive interviews and inconclusive medical exams, the student’s accusations could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Bright also revealed the young accuser no longer wanted him to prosecute. Bright said he continued to investigate the case, but ultimately decided against moving forward partly because he was never able to find out what happened behind the bathroom door at the Capital City club. “Here the overall circumstances do not lead to a viable prosecution. If they did, I would be pursuing it vigorously,� Bright said. “We do not prosecute morals. We prosecute crimes.� Roethlisberger in his first
public remarks since the accusations on March 5 read a 74-second statement Monday at a podium in the Steelers locker room. “The prosecutor’s decision not to bring charges, I know without a doubt, is the right conclusion,� said Roethlisberger, who was wearing a red sports shirt and light-colored slacks. “I don’t intend to discuss any details related to the events of Georgia. I’m happy to put this behind me and move forward.� Roethlisberger also did not discuss his upcoming meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell or any possible punishment that might come from the league or the team for violating the players’ conduct code. “I am excited to get back to work with my teammates, and I’m more determined than ever to have a great season,� he said. The encounter took place after a night of bar-hopping in Milledgeville, a quaint central Georgia college town about 30 miles from where the twotime Super Bowl winner owns a lake home. Bright detailed the night during a lengthy news conference Monday. Roethlisberger, who was out
Finished the weekend in a tie for 25th with 216.
John Powers Finished in a tie for 34th with a 218 over the weekend. The Falcons will have a week to rest up and practice before they hit the road for their next-to-last tournament of the season in two weeks at Penn State. “Hopefully, everybody will use this week as a learning experience,� Winger said. “If we can just tidy up our short games a little bit, I think this team is capable of some great things down the stretch.�
“I don’t intend to discuss any details related to the events of Georgia. I’m happy to put this behind me and move forward.� Ben Roethlisberger | Steelers’ quarterback drinking with friends to celebrate his 28th birthday, bumped into the student and her sorority sisters throughout the night. They linked up at Capital City, where he invited them to a VIP section and bought them a round of shots. As the night wore on, the student walked down a dingy hallway to a small bathroom, and Roethlisberger soon followed. What happened next remained unclear. The student told police she had been sexually assaulted, but medical results were less clear. A doctor who examined her at a nearby emergency room found a cut, bruises and vaginal bleeding but could not say if she was raped. And while some DNA was found, there was not enough to determine whom it belonged to, Bright said. Roethlisberger is being sued

Steelers’ Roethlisberger not to face criminal charges after accused assault By Kate Brumback The Associated Press
by a different woman who says he raped her in 2008 at a Lake Tahoe hotel and casino, which he denies. Roethlisberger was not criminally charged in that case and has claimed counterdamages in the lawsuit. In Milledgeville, state and local police canvassed the town and began interviewing witnesses. Roethlisberger hired Ed Garland, who has represented a long list of highprofile defendants. The accuser’s family also hired lawyers, who eventually sent a letter to Bright saying the woman did not want a trial because it would be “a very intrusive personal experience.� One Milledgeville resident was frustrated. “If he wasn’t a famous ballplayer, I think charges would have been filed,� said Dorothy Manning, a 68-year-old retiree who was walking downtown.

Lauren Glew determinedly rallied back from a first round 87 with a pair of 79s to close with a score of 245, good for a tie for 54th. “I am really proud of the mental toughness that Lauren showed after that first round,� Young said. “We had a nice talk on the course and I just told her to slow herself down and take it one shot at a time. Once she was able to do that, everything else fell into place.� Among the other scores, Hannah Lambert closed with a solid 81 to post a score of 252 and finish tied for 81st.

Iowan ready for prom with gum wrapper dress
Cat awarded for using paw to warn of gas leak
Woman accepts ‘Village Idiot’ award for hair blaze
GARNER, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa teen is all bubbly over her oneof-a-kind high school prom dress she made out of gum wrappers. Elizabeth Rasmuson made her dress — and matching vest for her date — out of blue and white wrappers from Wrigley’s “5 gum.� The high school junior says she got the idea after hearing about someone making a dress out of duct tape. She and her boyfriend began collecting gum wrappers last August. Rasmuson says she quit counting after 200. Since the wrappers break easily, Rasmuson finished her dress with a vinyl top coat.
GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — A 3-year-old cat credited with saving lives by tapping its owner’s nose with a paw to alert her of a gas leak has been awarded the Purple Paw by the Great Falls Animal Foundation. Schnautzie received her award Saturday at the foundation’s annual Fur Ball. Trudy Guy says Schnautzie was just 6 months old in 2007 when Guy awoke with Schnautzie on her chest and a paw on her nose. In checking the house, she heard a roaring sound in the bathroom and found a gas pipe outside the bathroom had broken above the shut-off valve. She said responding firefighters told her the house could have blown up due to the gas levels.
STORY, Ind. (AP) — A woman whose hair caught fire when her hairspray-coated follicles ignited as she lit a cigarette is now a southern Indiana town’s reigning “Village Idiot.� Dani Hamm earned the honorary title this month by getting the most votes from regulars at the Story Inn, a restaurant and bar about 15 miles east of Bloomington where she’s a bartender. The title awarded every April comes with a $100 bar tab at the rural inn. Hamm was driving to work in February when she lit up a cigarette and then heard a “whoosh� as her hair ignited. She wasn’t injured because she used her hands to douse her hair, which she had coated with a liberal layer of hairspray.
