By Emily Tucker Reporter

Shuttle Driver Tom Waldeck is trying to raise money for a family whose home burned down last July so they will have a new place to live. He said he doesn’t feel like he’s been successful in helping the Northrup family, whom are from Erie Township, Mich. However, the International Association of Transportation Regulators awarded him the Driver of the Year award because he was in his cab at the right place and at the right time. Waldeck began working for Black & White Cab Co. last June, and he was looking for an address at 2:50 a.m. when he noticed the Northrup’s house on fire. “What gets me is how precise the timing was,” he said. “If I got there five minutes earlier, they would’ve been trapped inside.” He said he noticed smoke coming from a shed, and it exploded. There were fireworks and gasoline cans left over from Fourth of July. Waldeck said he warned the family and called 911 while they escaped from the house.

STATE BRIEFS Salt piles pollute drinking water in Ohio towns

COLUMBUS (AP) — Piles of road salt used to melt ice on streets and sidewalks are polluting the drinking water in several Ohio communities, environmental regulators said. The state Environmental Protection Agency found that rainwater runoff from salt piles has been tainting several public and private wells in Ohio, The Columbus Dispatch reported. The drinking water in the western Ohio village of Camden was so salty that the residents abandoned its wells. The village, located in Preble County, started pumping water from a temporary well last month after two salt piles at a nearby business had fouled three wells. The EPA has ordered Camden to get its water from the Southwest Regional Water District.

Handicapped woman struck, killed in Ohio

COLUMBUS (AP) — Police say a woman in a wheelchair was struck and killed as she was crossing a street in Columbus. Authorities tell The Columbus Dispatch that the woman, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead seven minutes after a vehicle ran into her late Saturday night. It’s not clear whether the driver who hit her will face charges or what caused the crash. Authorities say the driver stopped and remained at the scene until police arrived.

Extradition hearing set for Mich. kidnap suspect

MORENCI, Mich. (AP) — The father suspected in the disappearance of his three young sons in southern Michigan has an extradition hearing Tuesday in Toledo, Ohio. Thirty-nine-year-old John Skelton of Morenci is jailed on $3 million bond in the Lucas County jail. He’s charged with parental kidnapping in the disappearance of 9-year-old Andrew, 7-year-old Alexander and 5-year-old Tanner Skelton. The boys were last seen on Thanksgiving. Volunteers have searched southern Michigan and northern Ohio. The hearing follows Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s request to Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland to return Skelton to Michigan. Tanya Skelton reported her sons missing after their father didn’t return them from a courtordered visitation.

Ohio nonprofits concerned about bingo revenues

Fewer crashes involving Ohio’s youngest drivers

The Associated Press — Nonprofit groups in Ohio that benefit from operating bingo games are seeing declining revenues. Figures submitted to the Ohio Attorney General’s office show that bingo parlors statewide made about $142.2 million in 2009 from traditional bingo and instant games — down 28 percent from $196.7 million in 2006, the Media Network of Central Ohio reported. Many nonprofits that operate bingo parlors, including Veterans of Foreign Wars posts, point to the economy as one reason for the slump in revenue. “Right now nobody is generating a lot of income for anything,” said Bob Funk, quartermaster for Ohio’s Veterans of Foreign Wars. “People don’t have a lot of money to spend.”

COLUMBUS (AP) — Transportation officials in Ohio say there were 3 percent fewer crashes involving 15- to 25-yearold drivers this year. The Columbus Dispatch reports that translates to 4,100 fewer crashes between January and the end of September, compared with the same period last year. Ohio Department of Transportation spokesman Scott Varner said officials hope awareness campaigns about the dangers of distracted driving are taking hold. There were 106,420 crashes between January and the end of September. Most of those occurred after school between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Akron counts nearly 2,4000 abandoned homes

AKRON (AP) — About one in every 85 homes is abandoned in northeast Ohio’s Summit County. County officials have identified 2,389 abandoned homes — out of the county’s 196,000 homes — since July, the Akron Beacon Journal reported. Ninety-one percent of those abandoned homes are in Akron, where one out of every 36 of the city’s 76,000 homes is abandoned. Officials started keeping track of abandoned homes earlier this year in the hopes of creating a database to assist the county in updating property values. Abandoned homes drag down property values, contribute to crime and create public health hazards, the Beacon Journal reported.

Man freed in Ohio following 23 years on the run KIMBALL PERRY

The Cincinnati Enquirer

CINCINNATI (AP) — David Ingram was a ghost to the government for more than two decades. He didn’t have a driver’s license or Social Security number. He didn’t pay taxes and worked off the books in construction in Texas. He was suspicious of everyone. He made others drive so police wouldn’t ask him for his driver’s license and he stayed away from all trouble.

Ingram needed to take that approach. He was a convicted drug dealer who ran instead of serving a prison sentence of five to 25 years imposed in 1988 by Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Norbert Nadel. “You were on the lam for (almost) 23 years,” Nadel told Ingram at a Thursday court hearing. Ingram was caught in March after he applied for a Texas driver’s license. “Your (criminal) record was clean for 23 years,” Nadel said.

Ingram, 48, was convicted in 1988 of trafficking Ecstasy, an extremely rare drug at the time. He was arrested after the man who hired him to bring the pills to Ohio turned out to be a police informer. Ingram appealed his sentence and Nadel allowed him to remain free until the appeal was heard. Instead, Ingram ran. After his arrest last spring, he was sent back to Ohio’s prison system in May to serve out his sentence. Nadel, though, ordered

Ingram returned to Hamilton County in July so the judge could find out why he should grant Ingram’s request for an early release. During those court conversations, Nadel seemed to take to the likable Ingram. Nadel saw something in Ingram and was fascinated how Ingram could stay crimefree and an apparently honest, hardworking man. “I get people on probation who can’t even go three months, two months without doing anything

wrong,” Nadel said. Ingram said he has had more than 100 jobs since he ran in 1988. He didn’t have a telephone until the recent advent of prepaid cell phones. He never owned a home because it would require a credit check and bank account history. He paid his rent with cash. “It was a prison without bars,” Ingram told the judge. Ingram learned in March a friend had died and left him a car. He wanted to drive it to Massachusetts. “I wanted to go up and take

care of my mother,” Ingram said. “The only time you were caught is when you tried to do something legal,” Nadel joked. Within minutes of being fingerprinted for his license application in Texas, Ingram was in cuffs. Within days, he was headed back to Ohio’s prison system. Over prosecutor’s objections, Nadel agreed that the seven months Ingram served in Ohio’s prison this year was enough and ordered him released.

PHIL SCHURRER FACULTY COLUMNIST

Last week, we buried Brent Nicholson. Brent was a professor of Legal Studies in the Business College. He suffered a heart attack while teaching a class in Individual Income Taxation. He had been with the University for many years and had served in many capacities. Much of his biography is contained in the obituary or in the campus e-mail notice. His loss leaves a hole in our hearts that we can adjust to over time and work around but can never fill. The fact that he was comparatively young, that his parents survive him, that the sudden onset of his final illness was witnessed by a group of people he loved – his students – makes his passing so much sadder and seemingly without rhyme or reason. His interests were varied. A lawyer and a CPA, he was, by all accounts, extremely well acquainted with history. He had a deep love of dogs and their welfare. At his funeral, a story was told regarding Kent State shootings. Brent had asked his friend, who was at Kent at the time, the names of the four students. His friend didn’t know, but Brent knew. Brent wasn’t there at the time of the incident, but Brent never forgot the students. All of us will leave a legacy,

a path we have made across the fabric of time. For many, it may be partially hidden, for the famous, highly visible. But that path, our unique path that we have trod, will be there. Brent’s path as educator, parent, son, friend – all the descriptors that paint what he did – are there for all to see. But, more than mere adjectives, they help define who he is. Note the present tense: “is,” not “was.” Brent’s life, like ours, consists in paying it forward. His spirit lives on in all of us – faculty, staff, students, friends, and relatives – who have been fortunate enough to encounter him on our path through time. And perhaps, as a teacher, that may have been the greatest lesson that he wanted to leave us. That our influence lives on in those we have touched. That our spirit is imparted to some extent – large or small – on others. And that how others act in their future as a consequence of knowing us is a testament to how we have led our lives. We who are left behind mourn his passing and miss his presence. But, to the extent we allow our lives to become better because of knowing him, his influence lives on in us. And our presence influences those around us, who will continue to follow their path when we have completed ours. Respond to Phil at thenews@bgnews.com

only 10 times. In addition to its nearly annual flameout, the goat also has been smashed to pieces, run over by a car, and tossed into a river. City officials have tried to discourage vandalism of the goat over the years, posting guards and setting up video surveillance, but their efforts frequently have gone for naught. One year, guards on a very cold night thought it might be safe to step into a nearby restaurant to warm up for a bit. They were barely inside the front door when the goat was in flames. Sometimes, the goat doesn’t survive anywhere close to Christmas. In 1970, it was lit only six hours after it was set up. And in 1979, it burned to the ground before it was even finished.

Rather than bored teenagers, a decidedly bizarre cast of characters has written itself into the lore of what is undoubtedly one of the world’s largest effigies. In 2005, two men dressed as Santa Claus and the Gingerbread Man were responsible for the goat’s destruction. In 2001, it was a tourist from Cleveland, one of the few culprits who has ever actually been apprehended. He spent 18 days in jail. Today, the goat’s fame has gone worldwide. Since 1988, English bookies – in yet another example of how the English seem to bet on everything – have taken wagers on how long the goat will last. And people can witness the goat’s likely demise through the goat’s official blog. “Terrible night!” the goat wrote last year after burning to the ground. “Slept so well under my beautiful snow blanket, when it suddenly became awfully hot. It was fire!” And I thought my family tradition of eating lasagna on Christmas Eve was strange.

In many European countries, it’s the opposite; instead, they choose to censor gratuitous violence. Do I agree with such a system? Of course I do.

Should we really be so against an intimate moment between two people in favor of seeing somebody’s life cut down?

Snow storm shuts down Midwest

Ohio not only victim of storm as road closures, flight delays expected across region Sophia Tareen Associated Press

CHICAGO (AP) — A powerful winter storm roared across the upper Midwest on Sunday with high winds and mounds of snow closing roads in several states and canceling more than 1,400 flights in Chicago. At least one weatherrelated death was reported Sunday as the storm system that dumped nearly 2 feet of snow in parts of Minnesota and caused the Metrodome’s inflatable, Teflon roof to collapse moved east. The Minnesota Vikings-New York Giants game was pushed to Monday night at Detroit’s Ford Field. A blizzard warning was in effect Sunday for parts of eastern Iowa, southeastern Wisconsin, northwestern Illinois, and northern Michigan, according to the

National Weather Service. Surrounding areas, including Chicago, were under winter storm warnings. “It’s going to be blustery,” said Ben Deubelbeiss, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Romeoville, Ill. The winter weather, with blowing snow that severely limited visibility, wreaked havoc on air and road travel. In the Chicago area, wind gusts of up to 50 mph, temperatures in the teens, wind chills well below zero were expected along with up to 8 inches of snow. More than 1,200 flights were canceled at O’Hare International Airport and more than 250 were canceled at Midway International A i r por t, Ch icago Department of Aviation spokeswoman Karen Pride said. Both airports expected more cancellations and

reported significant delays. Major highways in several states were closed due to poor driving conditions and accidents. Illinois State Police closed a section of Interstate 80 in the north central part of the state Sunday after a multiple-car pileup west of Peru. An injury report wasn’t immediately available. Interstate 90 from Albert Lea, Minn., to Exit 410 in South Dakota reopened Sunday afternoon after being closed Saturday because blowing snow reduced visibility. Minnesota state highways also reopened, although transportation officials warned that many were still snow-compacted, icy and, in numerous cases, down to a single lane. In Iowa, Interstate 29 from the state line to Sioux Falls, S.D. remained closed, although

other portions of it and Interstate 80 reopened. AAA-Michigan said it has been a busy day for its roadside assistance crews, with 850 calls from midnight through 12:30 p.m. Sunday. “A lot of cars in ditches, spinouts, dead batteries,” spokeswoman Nancy Cain said. “It’s really the first big blast of winter weather statewide.” Travel conditions were hazardous in much of the region. Six people were injured Saturday when a van carrying 13 people hit a guardrail and overturned in Mecosta County, near Stanwood, Mich., in the northcentral Lower Peninsula. Authorities said Sunday that weather played a role in the death of Douglas Munneke, 55, of St. Cloud, Minn. He died of a heart attack after collapsing while he was snow-blowing his driveway Saturday.

BG blows lead Friday, drops series to Ohio State By Ryan Satkowiak Assistant Sports Editor

TYLER STABILE | THE BG NEWS

CUTTING THE CORNER: BG’s Bret Mohler tries to create some space in a game against Miami earlier in the season.

Just as it appeared the BG hockey team was going to take a step forward in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association standings, it took two large steps backward. The Falcons (6-12-2, 2-10-2 CCHA), playing Ohio State for the only time this season, blew a third period lead for the third straight game on Friday in a 4-3 overtime loss, before dropping a 4-2 contest on Saturday. The Falcons entered the weekend only three points behind the Buckeyes in the conference standings, but by virtue of the sweep, now sit nine points back. On Friday night, the Falcons took a 1-0 lead into the third period for the third consecutive game by virtue of Wade Finegan’s highlight-reel goal

in the first period. Early in the third, Brett Mohler made it a 2-0 game. From that point on, the Falcons’ defense imploded, as it gave up three goals in a span of six minutes in the third. “When you have a team that hasn’t won very much and players who haven’t won very much, that’s what you get,” said BG coach Chris Bergeron of the team’s third period meltdown. “We’re showing our colors of a team that hasn’t won before; that’s three straight games we took a 1-0 lead into the third and lost.” Ohio State’s scoring started when Max Grover was attempting to start a breakout from behind the net, hit Buckeye forward John Albert’s stick, and buried the puck past Nick Eno.

Falcons bury Austin Peay with 3-pointers, win 10th straight By Paul Barney Sports Editor

BG women’s basketball coach Curt Miller was able to play everyone Saturday night against Austin Peay, and when he’s able to do that, it’s typically a sign of a Falcon blowout. Lauren Prochaska tied her career-high for 3-pointers in a game, going 6-of-9 from long distance, and Jen Uhl added two of her own as BG used its long range shooting to bury the Lady Govs 69-42. The Falcons push their win streak to 10 games and their record to 10-1, the program’s best start to a season in school history. “We’re very excited about the 10-1 start,” Miller said. “[We] shot the ball really well from the arc. Didn’t have a great night attacking and trying to get to the foul line and certainly we need to be better from inside the arc, but our 3-point shooting bailed us out.” Seventeen of Prochaska’s gamehigh 22 points came in the second half as she connected on 5-of-6 shots from behind the arc in the

After four years as a Falcon, McLean recalls his collegiate soccer career By Bryan Filipponi Reporter

BG men’s soccer center back Thomas McLean grew up in a family that adored soccer, lived in the country that invented the sport and grew to truly love the game. Growing up in Canada and then in England, McLean excelled at whatever sport he played, whether it was rugby, cricket or ice hockey, but soccer is what he enjoyed most. “I was attracted to soccer because of my family and upbringing,” McLean said. “Soccer is in my top three of most important things in my life.” McLean was born in Toronto and is the oldest of two children. Thomas’s younger brother Chris is a sophomore defender for the BG men’s soccer team as well. Thomas came to BGSU with an established track

record overseas in England. He was signed at the age of 15 to Burnley Football Club on schoolboy forms, was chosen for the Canadian U17 National Team for the Fire and Ice Series and also represented the Lancashire Schoolboys at both the U16 and U18 levels. In his first year playing collegiate soccer in the states, McLean was the only freshman in the nation to be a captain for an established NCAA Division-I soccer program and has been a captain for the team all four years. This year, the Falcons finished with an overall record of 6-9-3 (3-3-0 Mid-American Conference), finishing third in the conference. Over his four years at BG, he has played over 5,000 minutes. Through all four years, McLean was a brick wall in the Falcons’ back four,

helping them to record 15 shutouts. “My most memorable moment was all of this year,” McLean said. “We played really well and the whole team supported each other. Other than that, my most memorable moment was my first goal against Florida [Atlantic] in my first game for BG. “It was a great accomplishment for the team. We knew that we could do it and that we had the ability to achieve a third place finish. It was a good feeling to prove all the other coaches and teams in the MAC wrong who had predicted that we would come in sixth.” McLean will receive his diploma in sports management in May. However, he doesn’t plan on giving up playing soccer anytime soon and desires to go into coaching. McLean finished his career with a great

to find much offense early on Saturday. In what had become a reoccurring theme, they left goalie Andrew Hammond out to dry, mustering only 11 shots in the game. Hammond played well, stopping 23 of 26 shots, with the Buckeyes’ fourth goal coming with an empty net. “I think we backed off tonight and took a step backwards compared to last night,” McIntosh said. “We’re making steps, but we have to be a little more consistent and play a better game.” The Falcons got on the board five minutes into the third period when Cameron Sinclair deflected a point shot past Ohio State goalie Cal Heeter for his first goal of the season. However, the lack of offensive pressure made a comeback attempt difficult, as the Falcons only put three shots on net in the third.

“It started with blocked shots; our bench came alive with that,” said Ohio State coach Mark Osiecki. “[Friday] we didn’t play with enough energy in terms of moving our feet and taking the body.” Three and a half minutes after Sinclair’s goal, Ohio State answered with an unassisted goal by Dries to stretch the lead back to two. The goal came off of a BG turnover in its own zone. “We have to react a little bit better,” McIntosh said regarding the team’s play after Ohio State’s third goal. “We have to make smarter plays and just keep moving on.” After an Ohio State empty net goal with just over two minutes to play, Andrew Krelove scored with 14 seconds to go to make it 4-2. The Falcons are off until Dec. 29, when they will resume play against Princeton in the UConn tournament.

From there, things started to snowball out of control for BG, as it soon saw its lead vanish, and shortly after the Falcons were trailing. James McIntosh—playing his first game of the season as a defenseman—scored with just under three minutes to go in the third period to send the game to overtime. In the extra frame, BG was given a bench minor for too many men on the ice, and just 18 seconds after that, Ohio State’s Danny Dries beat Eno top-shelf to end the game. “This was a pretty tough loss given the last three games we’ve had here,” captain David Solway said. “These are the types of games that we need to start winning.” The Falcons were unable
