He is planning on attending this year after seeing the town packed with all the fans having fun every summer. “Every year it is one of the marquee events here in Bowling Green and before I graduate I really want to experience it,” Sexton said.
The event is to honor diving legends. Jeff Rice, of Portage Quarry, said diving began on the West coast and many divers in the East or Midwest have never gotten to meet some of the famous divers who started the sport in the United States. The Legends of Diving weekend will be include presentations, ceremonies, scuba diving events and more than $1,000 in contests and raffles.

Student remembered as role model, dedicated American students,” Balzer said. Penny Nemitz, director of Student Academic Enhancement at the Firelands campus, said she watched as Grant helped not only her son through the transition from high school to college, but other students as well. “She would help point a lot of students who weren’t prepared or were first-generation students in the right direction,” Nemitz said. “I remember one time she told a student, ‘This is your syllabus. You’re suppose to be reading it and using it, so use it.’” Bridget had a list of health problems that she had learned about in 2005, Derek said.

Although Bridget Grant might have had only one son, she was a mother to all in the way she cared for everyone. Bridget, a student at the Firelands campus, died of a heart attack July 11. She was 48. “I treasure my mom,” her son Derek Grant said. “She was a single parent, but she was always there for me. She was that parent going to parent-teacher conferences and giving the teachers her phone number so they could call her if there were any concerns.” Derek said his mom shared her love and concern not only with him, but for others she got to know as well. “She was loving, outgoing and

Mike Paulus, director of University Dining Services, would not have it any other way. “I cannot not open for my students,” Paulus said. “Every day we get closer. I have no choice; I have to have the Falcon’s Nest open.” Marcos Pizza, Panda Express, Chickendipity and Outtakes are being added to the Falcon’s Nest, while Steak Escape and Jamba Juice are the only operations remaining from last year, Paulus said.

GRANT From Page 1 “She had multiple health problems, but she was still an amazingly strong woman,” Derek said. “She never let it get her down.” Bridget had worked as a nurses’ aid at the Ohio Veterans Home, but retired in 2002 due to a disability. Bridget had written her obituary before she died and said in it that working as a nurses’ aid was her “true calling.” “She loved it there,” Derek said. “She loved the people she worked with.” Bridget decided to return to school and earned an associate of science degree in early childhood education.

a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, which Derek said was so she could help troubled youth. Derek said one of his favorite memories with his mom was seeing her graduate. Bridget walked for graduation for earning her early childhood education degree in May. “She was the first to graduate college in her family. Education was really important to her and she really wanted me to get my education, I’m going to school to become a registered nurse,” Derek, a sophomore at Firelands, said. Nemitz also said she was happy to see Bridget graduate. “Even if she only had a teacher for one class, they remembered her because
she was a great student who always participated and was happy and bubbly,” Nemitz said. “I was happy to see her graduate and get her associates. She was an exceptional human being.” Derek and Nemitz said people were drawn to Bridget and her impact and personality were bigger than her four foot nine inch body and her 48 years of life spent in the world. Bridget told her son that the number of people at a funeral reflects how well liked they were and for Bridget, her funeral showed exactly this. “You couldn’t believe the number of people that were there,” Nemitz said. “They were all just sitting there talking about memories of her. She was very well-liked and loved by everyone she knew.”
this was all part of the schedule. Since most of the employees for the Black Swamp Pub & Bistro are students, time needs to be taken for employees to get trained in the new facility. However, the delayed opening will be worth it once the Black Swamp Pub & Bistro’s newly-improved service is witnessed by students, Paulus said. “We were always restricted in the pub because there was no space. Everything had to be prepared in the Union kitchen and shuttled over to the pub; there was no execution space to get the food out there. It was a big service issue,” Paulus said. The delay of the Black Swamp Pub & Bistro does not bother some students, like University senior Jordan Fliehler, who has had to deal with a lack of food options in the Union this summer.
“During the school year I am used to being able to pick up a hamburger from Wendy’s or something, so it has been an inconvenience in that way,” Fliehler said. “I definitely think it’s better that all of this [construction] is happening in the summer, rather than the school year though.” Any inconvenience that the construction has caused will be worth it, Paulus said, and new facilities, like the renovated Falcon’sNest,willbenefitstudents. “Due to the efficiency of the new facilities, last year was the first time in 22 years I have not had to raise the meal plan for students,” Paulus said. Saving money aside, the big draw for students is clear. “Its simple,” Paulus said. “The service has to be quick and there has to be something to choose from.”

The building is also a historical part of the University, as it has housed four University presidents and has been the home of the popular culture department since the 1970s.

culture and a piece of popular culture itself. Rogers said an institution is not about its buildings, but about the people and programs it has. “[We want to] focus the University to move f o r w a r d ,” Rogers said. “Based upon the concer ns t hat were expressed, we wanted to make sure those concerns were heard and addressed in the decision making process and I believe they were.” The University has given several reasons for demolishing the building, one is its condition. Associate Vice President Of Planning Steve Krakoff said the building’s physical condition was analyzed as a part of the master plan in 2009. The master plan was released in 2009 and approved by the Board of Trustees in 2010 and the demolition of the popular culture building was included in the plan, Rogers said. The building was identified as very expensive to repair, Rogers said, and thus it was recommended to be demolished. Krakoff said the building is not in good shape and lacks the amenities needed to be an office. Some faculty disagree with Krakoff about the condition the building is in. “I think those of us who work here and spend a lot of time here would agree there’s nothing wrong with this building as far as functionality,” said Jeremy Wallach, associate professor of popular
culture who works in the building. The University is considering the site for a new student health center, Krakoff said. The site where the popular culture building is ranked in the top two among students in health center focus groups, he said. “Right now it is the preferred site for [the health center],” said Dave Kielmeyer, Universit y spokesperson. “T he University wants it, students want it, the hospital wants it.” Some of the popular culture faculty and others who don’t want the building demolished still have hope that it won’t be. Schuck said he is open to different possibilities, but he is ultimately interested in saving the building. “I want to make it winwin, that’s what I want, this isn’t a fight to me, and it doesn’t have to be,” he said. Krakoff said he thinks demolishing the building will positively impact the University as a whole. “The investment in the new health center symbolizes our on-going commitment to student life on this campus,” Krakoff said. “The location of this facility, right at that main entry way into campus, will make that whole intersection, I think, function better and look better.” Wallach said he would personally be very sad to see the building go. “They are wiping off the map something that helped put BGSU on the map,” he said.

Student offers advice to make best of ‘Sin City’ RYAN SATKOWIAK COLUMNIST
Your 21st birthday is pretty much the last birthday you have that actually means something. You can finally legally drink, go into bars, gamble — all the fun stuff you couldn’t legally do before. It’s a right of passage to adulthood, if you will. What’s the best way to celebrate that right of passage? Las Vegas. I turned 21 earlier this summer, and since my dad is awesome, him, two of my close friends and I spent the weekend in “Sin City” at the end of June. A little backstory here: I grew up in Vegas. My high school was literally in the shadow of the Strip. While this was my first time going as an adult, I knew the basics of the town and was going with someone (my dad) who actually knows the town. Because he is so well acquainted with Vegas, he gave us a bunch of really good advice about how to make the most out of our three days there. Like any 21-year-old, I wanted to ignore him because it seemed really hard to screw this trip up. Well, as it turns out it is really easy to not have a good time in Vegas. No, we didn’t screw it up. It was honestly one of the best weekends of my life. But
Hot Topics
that’s because I listened to what my dad had to say. It was advice good enough that I feel it needs to be retold, to people my age that actually may find use for it one day. Note that if you ever go to Vegas, your experience will probably be totally different from mine, but I feel that this is pretty good general advice on how to best enjoy your trip:
Don’t expect to win
Easily the biggest mistake people make when going to Vegas is thinking they’re going to hit it big on the roulette tables or something like that. Guess what, the odds say you aren’t. Whatever money you take with you to Vegas, you should expect to lose. That won’t always be the case, in fact, you may actually win some money, but if you expect that, you are more likely to be disappointed. That leads directly to the next point:
Set a budget before the trip
This can also be rephrased as “only gamble with what you are willing to lose.” As I mentioned, the odds of you winning are slim. The absolute worst thing you can do is keep digging money out of your pocket trying to recoup your losses, and before you know it, you’re down $2,000 and have no money for the rest of your trip. The best way to do this is to set a dollar figure you are prepared to

spend before the trip. For me, that number was $700 for two nights. Not a ton, but I didn’t plan to gamble too much. What I then did is split that in half, giving me $350 a night. I took half of that out with me Friday night, and left the other half in my suitcase. That way I would not be tempted to exceed what I had allotted myself for that night. That also transitions perfectly into the next point:
Travel lightly
This actually should be No. 1, because it is the most important, but whatever. This is in regards to your wallet. There are only three things that need to be in it at night: your I.D., your room key and whatever cash you plan on spending that night. No credit cards, nothing valuable that you don’t need. The reason for this is twofold. One, you will likely be drinking. Buying drinks and laying down bets, you will be removing your wallet from your pockets a lot. When you’ve been drinking you are more likely to miss a pocket, causing you to lose your wallet. Two is that there are a ton of sketchy people who roam the Strip at night, meaning that pick-pocketing is rampant (also more likely to happen if you are drunk and not paying attention). If either of these

Akimbo Gallery will feature ceramic works by Dennis with an opening reception for her artwork in conjunction with the First Friday Gallery Hop. Her exhibit will show three different firing methods used in ceramics. The opening reception will also have live music by local musician Tim Tegge. “Each venue offers something, whether it’s showcasing an artist, having live music, a demonstration or refreshments, each venue has something different,” Dennis said. This month, Happy Badger has decided to host an “End of the Hop” party with live music and refreshments. “People can stroll from one gallery to the next, and one you will have to drive to, but essentially it’s so you can work from one end to the other and stop at each gallery,” Woodard said. “With the ‘End of the Hop’ party at Happy Badger, people may want to plan accordingly to end there.”
Long-held beliefs about the true identity of serial killer, Jack the Ripper are challenged in a new book by author John Morris, who insists the serial killer was female. In “Jack the Ripper: The Hand of a Woman,” Morris claims it was Lizzie Williams, the wife of prime suspect Sir John Williams, who had horrifically murdered five prostitutes in London’s Whitechapel district in 1888. Morris and his late father, a historian, became interested in the case after reading “Uncle Jack” by Tony Williams, a descendent of Sir John Williams who had placed the blame for the murders on his ancestor. Morris said his father did not believe this great doctor, who had tended to Queen Victoria, could have committed the crimes. He said there was no direct evidence linking Williams to any of the crimes, but there was for his wife. “My father noticed his wife would have had the motive because the doctor was having an affair with victim Mary Ann Kelly, an attractive, young Irish woman,” Morris said. “I had never thought that a woman could have committed such gruesome crimes.” Morris said it is this very disbelief that must have allowed Lizzie Williams to slip away after each murder. “Whitechapel was flooded by

‘GOSSAMER’ Album

B+ GOSSAMER.PASSIONPITMUSIC.COM
By Jonathan Keilholz Music Critic
Next time you’re stressed, load this album onto your iPod, lie down on your bed, close your eyes and ease into Passion Pit’s soothing second studio album, “Gossamer.” As you struggle to understand Passion Pit’s electronically subdued lyrics, dismiss the temptation to find out. Then, when your stress level subsides, look up the lyrics. You’ll think it’s a joke. There is no correlation between the upbeat, positive beat and the cynical, nerve-wracking lyrics. “A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine gone down,” said Passion Pit mastermind Michael Angelakos in an interview with Pitchfork.com. “That’s exactly what Passion Pit is to me.” The medicine being an exploration of his and the world’s common issues, Angelakos said. Though various tracks focus on the issue of love (“Love is Greed”), Passion Pit seems to believe people aren’t entirely focused on unstable romances. The first track of the album (“Take A Walk”) gets political. It’s a reaction to debt in a recession; a family who made poor financial decisions: “Honey, it’s

this loan. I think I borrowed just too much. We had taxes. We had bills. We had a lifestyle of fun.” Passion Pit playfully contradicts itself: the band is cynically hopeful. In “Take A Walk,” the band sings a strikingly different message than that of “Carried Away.” “Take A Walk” basks in the struggle of the financial burden while “Carried Away” pushes a “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff” agenda: “Let’s agree there’s no need. No more talk of money.” Maybe Passion Pit does this to mirror life itself, in an honest-toGod way. “I (expletive) hate dishonesty,” Angelakos said during the interview. “I like artists that are really honest and talk about their lives, because people invest in that as much as they invest in the record itself.” In “Mirrored Sea,” Passion Pit approaches another scathing, challenging topic: alcoholism. It’s relentless — “His passion for the drink, it was the central part. He could look good in the light and look bad in the dark” — yet hopeful — “Good men are scarce and few. But always passing through.” The tracks on Gossamer are poetry. They’re an examination of

Drive. Not a Ryan Gosling movie, or a command. Think of it as a request. Driving is one of the most liberating things most of us take for granted. It’s a skill we mastered when we were 16 and we haven’t looked back. It gets us from point A to point B and that’s it. Wrong.
Driving somewhere to help out a friend or family member in need. You couldn’t do it before, but you’re happy you can do it now. Most of our best thinking gets done from behind the wheel. There, you’re untouchable and free to let your mind wander, but not your eyes. I think about life and what it means and how that notion is constantly changing. Don’t get me wrong. I do get a little silly when I’m mobile. When Celine Dion graces my radio with her FrenchCanadian love ballads, my gut instinct is to use that gut to

The next time you want to relieve stress, need some alone time, or simply need to feel needed, go driving.

Because, in the end, it’s worth it. This summer being editor has taught me the importance of confidence, not only of confidence in myself, but confidence in others. For the past 12 weeks, the staff at The BG News has been putting the paper together, as a team. Being confident in ourselves as well as our teammates, or fellow editors, was important during the process. Each Tuesday, all the editors, designers, copy editors and various other staff members gathered in the newsroom to put together a new issue. T h roug h work i ng together every week, I think we have learned a lot about each other and what it takes to put out an issue. And I think an important piece of what it takes to accomplish any goal, is

Challenge yourself by trying new things, taking advantage of college BOBBY WADDLE COLUMNIST
When I took on a columnist position at the beginning of summer, I had no idea it would go by so fast. Call this clichéd if you want to, but life also goes by pretty fast. It has been four years
since I timidly moved into McDonald Hall, and eight years since I began high school. Each of these milestones were significant at the time they happened. I went to a small, closek nit Catholic school through eighth grade, and the move to Bowling Green’s public high school introduced me to the town’s adolescents at large.

Moving into a residence hall four years later was more intimidating. Not only was it my responsibility to seek out friends, but I was thrust into living with someone I never met (as many of us were). W hile each of these milestones were scar y at first, I quickly settled into my new environment and got used to my surroundings. They became the norm.

Throughout the summer, the staff had to have confidence that stories would come in, that we would come up with good ideas for headlines, design and stories. But, most importantly, we had to have confidence in ourselves and each other. So, thank you, to the editors, the reporters, the photographers, the copy editors, the designers and everyone else who helped put the paper together. Thank you for having confidence — in yourself, me and your colleagues. Successfully putting out 12 papers was tough, it took a lot of teamwork and it wouldn’t have happened without at least a little bit of confidence.

Don’t take driving for granted, use it for alone time, helping others Driving, being in a car, or any combination of the two, houses some of our most precious memories. Think back. Driving to that girl’s house to pick her up for a date. Wondering if your car still smelled like McDonald’s. Thinking how pretty she is when you open the car door for her (and they say chivalry is dead.) The first time you drive alone. The road’s the limit and the sky sure does look pretty. You realize being by yourself isn’t really that bad. You now know the difference between being alone and lonely.

Leaving the nest is always hard. Whether it’s going on a vacation for the first time or heading off to college, leaving the nest and figuring out how to adapt to your new one is something everyone goes through. Most recently, I left the Falcons’ Nest and safe haven of the University for an internship in the Chicago area. W hile anticipating to learn a lot from my internship itself, its was my lone five hour move that made even more of a difference. Luckily, I had a few friends who helped me take flight once I got to the “Windy City.” Despite having friends in town, I still ran into some turbulence along the way.

“Leaving the nest helps people learn to adapt.

Making new friends becomes slightly more difficult when one of your next-door neighbors is about 60-years-old while the others are a family of three. Not exactly the kind of people who are up for getting a drink around midnight like my roommates back in Bowling Green. Aside from making new friends, I found out that I knew less about Chicago than I first realized.

The Dog Days of Summer Countdown By Erin Cox Pulse Editor
With this being the final edition of The BG News this summer and a little more than two weeks left before school starts, here’s a longer list of suggestions to finish out your summer. Hopefully these ideas will not only bring some enjoyment to your last few days of summer, but also prepare you for another school year. 19. Go clearance shopping. Summer fashions are on sale, but you still have a while to wear them before they’re out of style. 18. Sell your old stuff at a garage sale. You’ll make money and make some room for your new goods. 17. Buy a new pair of sunglasses. They might even be on clearance if you’re lucky. 16. Go to the fair. Food, rides, games and so much more wait at the fairgrounds. 15. Tone up with some exercise. You want to be looking good for the new school year and the fair food might have added a few pounds to your beach bod. 14. Play tennis. It’s active and it’s outdoors so you can enjoy the summer sunshine while working out. 13. Volunteer. Spend some time helping someone else before you get too busy to think about anyone else. 12. Take the time to wash under your fingernails and paint them (if you so wish). It’s a good time to start cleaning off all the dirt from spending so much time outdoors this summer. 11. Go shopping for your first day of school outfit. It might not be a dress or khakis like we use to do in elementary school, but you should always dress to impress on your first day no matter how old. 10. Practice your diving. The Olympics are going on and maybe you have some sweet diving moves like the athletes, so try it out at the pool. 9. Learn some new dance moves. The Bowling Green bars are about to be busy and full of new
people to impress, so learn an awesome new move to showoff. 8. Make a scrapbook, or if you’re not that committed, put your pictures in a photo album. With Facebook and Instagram sometimes we don’t take the time to print pictures anymore, but don’t let your memories fade out with changing technologies. 7. Watch the Perseids meteor shower around Aug. 11. That night will be the peak with the most meteors, but you can see it for nights before and after. 6. Do some summer cleaning. Whether you’re moving out, moving in or just staying where you are this year, there’s plenty of dust collected around your place that could use a quick swipe of the feather duster. 5. Take a bubble bath. Relax and reminisce about the summer days that have already passed. 4. Go to the tractor pulls. Bowling Green hosts the National Tractor Pull Championships. It all starts Aug. 17. 3. People watch. New students will be on campus who won’t have any idea of where to go and will all be trying to impress each other. There is no better time to sit on campus and just watch. 2. Make a new friend. A new school year means you should make a new friend. 1. Remember the fun you had during the summer doesn’t have to end with the start of school, you can have fun all year long. EDITOR’S NOTE: THIS IS A WEEKLY SERIES THAT COUNTS DOWN THE DAYS LEFT OF SUMMER.
VEGAS From Page 3 were to happen to you, would you want everything in your wallet gone, to be on vacation with no access to money, or would you just want to lose a little cash and your I.D.? Yes, that second one can be an issue, especially if you are flying, but you can’t leave your I.D. in your room unless you plan on sitting on a bench all night.
If you’re trying to get drunk, don’t do it at a bar This bit of advice is purely a money saver. There are places on the
BOOK From Page 3 policemen trying to find the killer,” Morris said. “They stopped and questioned every man over 14 years, but no women. They never thought a woman would be capable. But only one person was seen walking away after the first murder, and it was a woman. No men were seen at all.” The book “Jack the Ripper: The Hands of a Woman” points out numerous clues scattered throughout the crimes suggesting the killer was female, including scratches on the neck of a victim from long fingernails, buttons from a woman’s boot that did not belong to the nearby victim, the careful rearranging of one victim’s personal affects and women’s clothing found at the scene of a murder that did not belong to the victim.
Strip — such as a Walgreens next to the Palazzo — where you can buy alcohol. Yeah, it’s on the expensive side, but it beats running up a tab at a bar or nightclub. Sure, a couple drinks at the club is probably to be expected, but if you are trying to get drunk just at the club, you can expect a hefty tab. A 12 oz. bottle of beer at pretty much any bar on the strip runs between $7-8. Shots/shooters can exceed $10 (two vodka Red Bulls at the Lavo nightclub at the Palazzo cost $23, so that’s your comparison). Of course, if you buy something that needs to be refrigerated you should probably make sure your room has a
refrigerator. We made that mistake the first night.
Morris includes the fact that none of the five victims were sexually assaulted as evidence that the killer may have been a woman, as well as the “uterus theft” of three of the five victims at the scene of the crimes. Lizzie Williams was barren. “Once you accept the proposition that the murderer might have been a woman, everything starts fitting into place,” Morris said. “It’s the only solution that fits.” Morris’ daughter, Nia, said she had never really been as interested as her father and grandfather were in the Jack the Ripper case, focusing more on broader criminal law during her studies to become a lawyer. But once she read the evidence gathered by her father, she said, that quickly changed. “I think it’s certain it must have been a woman,” she said. “They were looking for the wrong gender. That’s
why Jack the Ripper was never caught.” Nia said the most compelling evidence to her is the aftermath of the murders, when Lizzie Williams was sent to live with a registered nurse following a nervous breakdown. “After that, Sir John Williams received a letter which read, ‘Thank you for keeping my secret. I’m sorry for what I did.’ I believe it was Lizzie thanking her husband,” Nia said. The letter is now in the Library of Wales. More than 100 men have been suspected to be Jack the Ripper, including Queen Victoria’s grandson and “Alice in Wonderland” author Lewis Carroll. Lizzie Williams is the first and only female suspect to be written about. “Jack the Ripper: The Hand of a Woman” can be found on barnesandnoble.com/nook and amazon.com.
Make time to see a show
Part of the really cool thing about Vegas is all of the neat shows offered. One reason we went when we did was because Ron White was performing at the Mirage. Since “Tater Salad” is one of my favorite comedians, it was a pretty convenient “two birds with one stone” ordeal. Other than comedians — Carrot Top also performs consistently — there are a lot of other cool shows to see. Blue Man Group is one that I would highly recommend, and anything by Cirque is usually good.

Pick the right time of year to go
Yes, believe it or not there is actually a wrong time of year to go to Vegas. If you go pretty much any time in December (except for New Years), it’s generally dead. Lots of the shows stop running for the season, the pools at the hotels are closed and the crowd is … let’s just say older. The absolute best time of year to go is the summer. Like, anytime between May and September. Yeah, it gets hot there, but you’re probably going to be spending lots of time in an air-conditioned casino. If you are into meeting new people, the crowd during the summer is younger, the pools are open pretty much

Is 2 a.m. last call at the BG bars too early for you? Do you want to keep on going after that? Well, you are in luck in Vegas. They do call it “the city that never sleeps” for a reason because, well, the city never sleeps. Most of the nightclubs close at 4 a.m. When you leave there, you can go to a hotel bar, gamble, or cruise the strip. There is no last call in Vegas. Also, there are no open container laws on the Strip. Yeah, you can walk the Strip,
If you have a tendency to be completely out of control when drunk, you should probably avoid going to Vegas. The cops in the Strip are generally pretty relaxed when it comes to drunk people, because they understand what everyone is there for, but if you act like a total idiot — i.e. you start harassing random people, throwing stuff or urinating in places that are not designed to be urinated in — they will not hesitate to throw the book at you, and spending the night in the Clark County Detention Center probably isn’t on your trip “to do” list.

Falcons continue to practice sport during off-season Athletes eat, breathe and sleep the sport they play, even during their off-seasons. For BG baseball players Brian Bein and T.J. Losby, summers have been spent playing for the local Great Lakes baseball league. Bein, a sophomore second baseman, plays for the Dayton Docs and Losby, the junior catcher for the Falcons has spent his time off playing with the Lima Locos. The season ended for the Falcons May 19 in the MidAmerican Conference and the players wasted no time suiting up again for the summer. As a freshman, Bein led BG with seven stolen bases and earned the second highest batting average on the team with .345 with 58 hits, which was also good for second best on the team. He was also named to the second team All-MAC as their second baseman.

Now that he has had some experience with the Great Lakes league, Bein said he has had a chance to work on both offense and defense. Bein tries to focus on his offensive production while he spends his summer with the Docs, he said. “I would like to get more power hitting,” Bein said. “I get some extra work in the cages, extra batting practice and tips from the coaches.” Currently he is hitting .292 for Dayton with 40 hits and 11 runs batted in through 137 at-bats. “Every game you see competition, you play against guys from colleges in the Midwest and southern states so it allows you to get better,” Bein said. The Day ton Docs are 17-22 on the season so far with Bein on the team and it is seven games out of first place. The Lima Locos and Losby on the other hand, are in a three way tie for first in the Great Lakes league with 24

Losby has been a part of those 24 wins with a batting average of .270 with 34 hits and 21 runs batted in and four home runs as the catcher. “Catching new pitchers and having new base runners has also helped me improve defensively,” Losby said. Prior to his play with the Locos, Losby finished the 2012 season with the Falcons playing in all 53 games and starting 47 of them. He played the majority of his games behind the plate, but he did make some starts as BG’s first baseman. He led the team with 37 RBI’s with a .319 batting average; he had nine of his 53 games played being multiRBI games, while he had multiple hits in 17 games. His three home runs were the most on the team.

Challenge yourself. Don’t settle for mediocre or good enough — work harder, play a game against yourself and win everytime. These are the things the game of golf has taught me. Surprising, I know. But playing golf means playing against yourself and it has taught me to always challenge how good I can be. Golf is a mental game where the competition is yourself and the player is constantly trying to beat her own personal record, which makes it even more difficult. When playing against an opponent, you only have to be as good or better than they are and once you beat them, it’s over. But when you’re playing against yourself, it’s a constant game. You can’t ever win because you can always do better than the time before. Many people think golf is
just another boring sport, this is merely negative publicity, a bad reputation. Don’t get me wrong, I think watching other people play is boring too, but I think boring is the last word I would use to describe playing against yourself. I don’t think anything could be more challenging or interesting than trying to beat yourself at a game … well, unless you’re too chicken to try. Golf is a mental game, all the way. When I golf, it doesn’t really matter how I swing the club or the way I hit the ball — those are just the mechanics, the techniques, but what really makes the difference in par or a birdie, is my mindset. My mental game has to be sharp. I can’t let the person I’m playing with get in my head, or let myself overthink my stance or swing speed. I just have to relax, and let my body do what it knows how to do. But, sometimes, relaxing can be the hardest part. Relaxing is hard in anything, but in the game of golf it’s especially hard because there are so many
tips and tricks. Straighten your left arm, bend your knees a little bit, but not too much. When all of these rules and guidelines are floating around in your head, it’s hard to shut everything off, but it’s important and it’s part of the mental game. Being out on a golf course, in the middle of a rough game, is like being in the middle of life. I see golf and life in two ways, either you can sit back and let the game play you, or you can play the game. In golf, you have to challenge yourself, your previous scores and how good you are as a player. You have to be better than yourself. In life, you have to work to be the best you can be as well, sometimes you’re competing against other people, but, in the end, the game is against yourself. Only you know how good you can be, how great you can do and only you can make it happen. So, whether you’re playing against yourself in golf or life, get out there and play the best you can. And, most importantly, play to win — against yourself.

Art education student wins ‘Best in Show’ at Northwest Ohio competition By Melanie Mills Reporter
Senior Matthew Cook, a 2D art education major, created an award-winning painting when he least expected it. His painting, “Ablution,” won best in show at the Northwest Ohio Community Art Expedition at the University art gallery. He said he wanted to do a more complicated piece; so he thought of the idea to do a series of people wearing face paint. Joanne Roushey, a recent University graduate in art education, was the subject of “Ablution.” However, during the photo shoot for the painting, Cook did not like the way the pictures were turning out until Roushey started washing off the face paint, Cook said. Roushey said she thinks it was one of those “ah ha” moments when you think you have a good idea, but there’s a better one around the corner. “Sometimes just working with the media, you can find things better than you ever imagine them to be,”

Legislation may concern teachers Depleting funds, longer careers spur changes within State Teachers Retirement System, fate of bill falls to Ohio House of Representatives with proposed retirement legislation By Tara Keller Forum Editor
Teachers are living longer, working longer and receiving retirement pensions longer, but those benefits might be close to running out. The State Teachers Retirement System manages a fund enrolled teachers pay into in order to receive benefits when they retire. Because there are more teachers receiving benefits than there are teachers contributing, the fund, which has been around since 1920, is slowly depleting. STRS of Ohio is looking to implement several changes to the way teachers retire and what benefits they receive. “We are a very mature system and we have a lot of people who collect,” said Nick Treneff, communications director for STRS Ohio. “We needed to make some changes.” Possible changes include increasing the age teachers become eligible for retirement, how much service they must complete and the amount they must contribute
to receive benefits. If passed by Ohio Congress, these changes will affect all teachers within the state of Ohio, including those employed by the University. STRS is working to get the changes made at the state level in Ohio. In May 2012, the Ohio Senate passed retirement reform legislation, which outlines these changes and more. The fate of the legislation depends on the Ohio House of Representatives’ decision. Age of retirement eligibility and amount for service requirements will increase and will depend on how long each individual has worked. Working longer to receive benefits may not be a big deal for some teachers, as teachers typically work longer than those in other professions, said Roger Anderson, secretary of the Ohio Higher Education Retirees Association and former University professor. Most teachers enjoy their jobs and stay within the same school throughout their

entire career, he said. Some teachers also have longer careers. “Statistics show that teachers tend to take care of themselves better because of the nature of their job,” he said. Teachers teach others to be nurturing and apply that same idea to themselves, he said. Anderson is living proof of having a long career, as even though he officially retired from the University in 1998 after teaching political science since September 1967 he is still active within the University. Some might not agree with the changes as it will require members to pay an increased contribution every month. “We know everybody won’t be happy with the changes, but it’s for the long-term sustainability of the fund,” Trenoff said. The STRS has worked with several retiree coalitiions since 2009 who are in favor of the reform, he said. At the University, some teachers considered early retirement due to the possible changes, said Rebecca
Ferguson, University chief human resources officer. “They’re doing things to stablilize the system so in the long-term, [retireees] don’t have to worry,” Ferguson said. “Our systems are very healthy, but if we don’t take some action now, years from now [the system] will be less healthy.” Some faculty members may wish to retire before 2013, when the first scheduled changes are set to begin if the House approves, she said. “We have some faculty members who have been here for over 40 years,” she said. “From a student perspective, some of their favorite faculty members may be choosing to depart.” After the changes are implemented, the system will save around $11 billion, Trenoff said. “It’s a significant amount and we give us more solid financial footing,” he said. “Teachers live a long time in retirement, which is great, but that puts a lot on the system to make those promised payments.”

In the movie “Forrest Gump,” the character Jenny Curran asks God to make her a bird so she can fly far, far away. Likewise, 42-year-old Montana Miller, an associate professor in the Department of Popular Culture with a doctorate in Folklore from UCLA, became a bird in her own way to change the course of her life dramatically. She did this by starting to skydive two years ago and since then has completed 700 jumps. Miller said she started skydiving because she had a background in acrobatics, but had to stop in order to teach. However, Miller really missed the flying she had done her whole life and found out she could apply some of the acrobatic maneuvers to skydiving. “There was a big part of me that felt missing and when I started skydiving it was like being reborn,” Miller said. With her new life came a new relationship, friends, goals and happiness she never knew she could feel, she said. Miller said she met Mario Mauro, her boyfriend, who has done more than 10,000 jumps in his 30-year career, through skydiving because he was her coach. Mauro is on the “World Team” and has participated in some skydiving world records, Miller said. Mauro was with Miller on one of her most memorable jumps.
Miller said this jump took place at midnight on New Year’s Eve in Florida at a drop zone between Orlando and Tampa. “We jumped and could see fireworks coming from both directions and in the last 4,000 feet, we kissed and pulled the parachute,” she said. Miller has also met friends through the sport. She said every skydiver belongs to the United States Parachute Association where she met many friends she never would have met if it were not for skydiving. Many of them come from completely different worlds, but skydiving brought them together as a family, Miller said. “I never would have imagined some of my best friends would be 18 and 19 year olds,” she said. Miller also skydives competitively where she has set many goals. The competitions are something she really enjoys doing because she works well under pressure and likes training with a goal in mind, Miller said. She said after she started participating in competitions, other jumps seemed less exciting because competitions are such a rush. Currently, Miller is training for the national competition that will take place in Arizona at the end of October. “For Montana, the sky is the limit and that’s what I love about her,” Mauro said.

PEOPLE IN PROFILE
Bapes’ beats
Bus to house dentist office, provide care to students By Tori Simmons Reporter
University junior combines education, musical aspirations By Zach Knapp Reporter
“A lot of people were responding to my music and more and more fans would show up to each show.”
Corey Bapes was an up-and-coming rapper on the Cleveland rap scene when he decided to chase a dream in the classroom. Now a junior at the University, Bapes said education always came first in his mind, but the early success of his music career weighed heavily on his decisions for the future. Releasing his first mixtape at 18, “In a Class of His Own,” in 2007, and his second mixtape, “Corey Bapes Hold Up Volume 1,” in 2008, Bapes gained recognition almost immediately. “Things really took off during my first shows in high school,” Bapes said. “A lot of people were responding to my music and more and more fans would show up to each show.” He was voted “Best New Artist” and “Best Live Performance Artist” in the 2007 Ohio Hip Hop Awards and the “Best Live Performance Artist” again in 2008. “Bout My Dough,” a single off of Bapes’ first album, has more than 200,000 views on Youtube, Bapes said. However, Bapes saw an opportunity to take himself more seriously by heading to college. He is currently earning a degree in an individual planned program, which allows him to choose three programs that make up a major: entrepreneurship, recording technology and video production. “At the end of the day rapping is just rapping,” Bapes said. “Everyone knows that I can rap. I have proved
Corey Bapes | Junior that. I wanted to go to college to know more about the business side of the music world and educate myself.” Dreski Rudolph, business partner and friend of Bapes, said Bapes made the right decision to go to college, but the decision between an education and his music career was hard at first. “We were all just out of high school and Corey’s music was taking off,” Rudolph said. “His mother wanted him to go to college so he had something else to fall back on and he was dealing with the problem of whether he should stay or go. In the end, going to college is going to help him become a more independent artist.” To Bapes, being a independent artist, and being able to make things happen on his own, can be rewarding. The music industry can be complicated and the more you can do for yourself the better off you are, Bapes said. He would like to get to a place where he can make beats and videos for others, as well as himself, and become an independent artist. “I want to understand the music

and business side of things,” Bapes said. “It comes down to wanting to know what people are doing for me, and the effort they put in, and eventually being able to do it myself and brand myself as an artist.” In the meantime, Bapes plans on keeping the music coming throughout his college career and making his presence more known on campus. University students, like senior Chris Owens, who knew of Bapes’ music career when it was first taking off, were surprised to hear Bapes was enrolled in the University. “Corey Bapes was a name that you heard a lot of back in Cleveland during high school,” Owens said. “I was really surprised when I heard that he is actually going to BG.” A new mixtape, “Reloaded,” will hopefully be the first step toward getting his name and music out to people in the community, Bapes said. “After ‘Reloaded’ drops, I am looking forward to dropping a lot of videos and playing a lot of shows in BG,” Bapes said. The lack of music released by Bapes in recent years does not change anything, Rudolph said, and the release of “Reloaded” is just what Bapes needs to get back in the spotlight. “Corey has not released anything major in a few years, but his music still gets the clubs going,” Rudolph said. “He is not rushing ‘Reloaded.’ It is like his first child as an independent artist and he wants it to be right.” “Reloaded” is scheduled to be released August 25, Bapes said.
VETERANS From Page 1 other parts of the country,” said Barbara Hoffman, Health Center director. Now student veterans at the University can get their health care through the Health Center at the University. This program is advantageous for student veterans, because, if they are eligible for care through Veteran Affairs, their health care can be free or lower cost, Peters said. Eric Buetikofer, veteran adviser in the office of nontraditional and transfer student services, said he thinks the program is great. “It’s a great opportunity for veterans to start using the free service that’s available to them,” Buetikofer said. The service enrolls student in veteran health care so they can use it at any veteran health center, he said. The program at the University occupies a room separate from the Health Center in the same building. It has its own space to use, a separate door to
ART From Page 7 she said. This happened with Cook’s artwork when he began to take it apart. “I thought it looked a lot more interesting so I started taking pictures and that’s where the name ‘Ablution’ came from, I thought it seemed fitting,” Cook said. Ablution was a ritual cleansing to absolve sins, originally done by Jews and early Christians, he said. Cook said his painting is one of the
Improving students’ smiles is among the top priorities at the Health Center for this upcoming academic year. “This year we are offering mobile dental services in addition to our other health services for students,” said Barbara Hoffman, director of the Health Center. The dental bus will be available to students for the first time for dental services Aug. 14 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Lot N across from the Health Center. Although the Health Center has made the initiative to bring dental services to the University, students are the ones who requested the services be available on campus, Hoffman said. “We started looking into bringing dental care last year after some graduate students and undergraduate students requested it,” she said. “Our efforts to bring more health services come from the requests of the students.” Some students think bringing a dental facility to the University will benefit the health care provided to students. “I think that it’s a good idea because if you don’t live around here it’s harder to find a dentist or some sort of dental care,” said Sierra Bryant, a junior applied health science major. “I think this will be much more convenient for students.” Jacob Kohring, a graduate student, agreed that the accessibility of dental care at the University will be beneficial to students who reside on campus. “I think that bringing a dental facility to campus will be a good idea because of the easy access to its services for those living on campus,” he said. After considering the request for dental care, the Health Center looked into a dental care brand that would understand the students, Hoffman said. “The Dental Center of Northwest Ohio did a presentation to our staff and seemed very thorough and understanding of students and their health issues and concerns,” Hoffman said. “We thought it would be a good relationship for the students.” Some students expect more than just the routine check up
when visiting the dental facility at the University. “I would expect them to not only do a good job cleaning and checking teeth, but to be friendly to the students and offer positive customer service,” Bryant said. The Health Center’s thought process behind bringing a mobile dental bus as a dental facility to the University was for the ease of the students, Hoffman said. “The unit can do everything that would be provided in a dentist’s office, it’s a full service unit,” she said. “It seemed more convenient and accessible to provide a mobile unit to the students.” Some students agree that the idea of a mobile dental office can bring new opportunities for health services to the University. “I have never heard of it before, and it’s definitely a unique idea,” Bryant said. “But, I think it can work especially with student’s schedules.” Although some students think that the dental bus will have positive effects on student in dental care, other students want a dental office on campus. “I think that an office would be better to have on campus,” said junior Amanda Moser. “It would be better for students so they will know a permanent location to where it is at.” Students with or without dental insurance will be able receive the services provided by the dental bus, Hoffman said. “If a student has the insurance it will be billed first, and if they do not they will be billed accordingly,” she said. “The dental center is based for low income people as well as providing good care.” Some students believe that the option to go to a dental facility without insurance will motivate students to schedule appointments. “It is a good idea for the University to bring the dental care to campus, especially for people who don’t have insurance,” Bryant said. “This way more people will be willing to go.” The dental bus is expected to be stationed in the parking lot across from the Health Center once to twice a month, Hoffman said. “Students just need to remember to call the dental center to schedule an appointment with them,” she said.
enter by and a separate waiting room, Peters said. “It’s very nice, very private,” he said. The Health Center had space available for the program to use, Hoffman said. “The Health Center has always wanted to be involved with student veterans here,” she said. “The opportunity came up.” Hoffman said student veterans had to go to Toledo to get health care without the program at the University. “Anything we can do to help keep the students here … that should be the ultimate goal,” she said. Now student veterans can schedule an appointment at the clinic and get their health care on campus. “I think it’s been received well,” Peters said. “We’re reaching out to more students.” Veterans Affairs is also working to add a virtual component to the program called Telehealth. Telehealth is a program that works by the doctor staying at the Health Center and a nurse going to the patient in their
home, Peters said. The equipment used for exams is hooked up to a USB port and the health care provider can conduct the exam through the nurse and the computer. The University is a pilot site for Telehealth, the equipment hasn’t arrived yet, but once it does, it will be the first time the equipment has ever been used by Veterans Affairs, Peters said. The program is set to last one to two semesters, Peters said, and will tentatively end in mid-fall. At that point, Veterans Affairs will stop and assess to see if the program is working efficiently and whether there is anything it can do differently. If the results are good, it may consider the program to come back to the University, as well as other universities, Peters said. “I certainly hope this program continues,” Buetikofer said. Peters said he would like to see the program expand through various levels and types of care. “This is an example of what government can do if government works together,” Peters said.
smaller paintings he has done so far, 3-by-4 feet, and painted in oils. He was surprised he won, being a more realistic painter, because abstract paintings usually win and he has not seen his type of style awarded often, Cook said. Roushey said she knows Cook as an artist, because they have had classes together, and she said the thing that sets him apart is his dedication and attention to detail. There were many times she thought the painting looked done, but he said it needed something more, Roushey said. The competition was tough
because there were enough paintings to fill the main gallery and some instructors entered pieces as well, he said. “Ablution” is one of four in his series so far, including two paintings of his nephews and one self portrait, Cook said. Cook’s sister-in-law, Rebecca Cook, is the mother of two of his subjects, and said she could see Cook’s passion for art through his paintings and she thinks he does an amazing job. He said he has always enjoyed making artwork because it is fun and therapeutic.

BOBBY From Page 4 paper two years later. I was nervous about an environment where I did not know anyone, and the idea of publishing my work for everyone to see did not help. Writing my first story was rather unremarkable, because I simply turned it in and left without saying much. I ended up doing the same thing the next week. However, by placing myself into that unfamiliar situation, it helped me gain enough confidence to take more stories. This not only helped me get to know the campus better through my stories, but it also helped give me courage to share myself with the campus and not be afraid of what people think of me. Granted, this was a very gradual process. But the most rewarding things in life come f rom ha rd work a nd unfamiliarit y, which is why I am ver y happy to be graduating Saturday.

When I went into high school, I thought my personality was already formed and non-malleable. I resisted things that challenged my beliefs about myself or others. I have to thank this University for helping me to grow in this respect. I have extolled the value of learning outside the classroom in several columns, but it is time for me to give my instructors their due. Most of them have valued wel l-t houg ht-out responses and discussion in their classrooms, and it has helped me to look at things from multiple perspectives. The main thing I have taken away from college is that life is never static. Even if you feel like you are stuck in a rut when you’re 60, changing even one little habit can yield giant discovery.

Also, I want to thank you, yes, you. Whoever you are, for reading this, for picking it up each week and making it worth the time we spend in the newsroom putting it together.
I hope everyone who was on staff will move forward, whether it be at the paper or somewhere else, with confidence. I know I’ll be back at the paper next semester, as a more confident Campus Editor than I ever could have been without this experience this summer. I hope you’ll move on with a renewed sense of confidence as well. And if you weren’t on staff this summer, I encourage you to see this as an exam-

MONTANA MILLER, associate professor of popular culture, likes to skydive in her spare time.
DIVING From Page 7
Like any sport, skydiving has risks, but skydiving gets misunderstood by some of the public thinking accidents are common, when in reality, fatal accidents are very rare, she said. “Most of the accidents are from experienced divers pushing the limit, it is much more rare for beginning skydivers to have many accidents,” Miller said. Miller said her scariest jump was in Nicaragua this past March, when she got caught in an unexpected strong wind that blew her about a mile out into the ocean at 5:30 a.m. She said she did not have any flotation device and was in the ocean with all her heavy gear for 15 to 20 minutes. Luckily, she got rescued by a group of Nicaragua fishermen she said, but it was the most terrifying experience she has ever had. “It taught me more about myself in these kinds of situations and my own strength to say if there’s any way to survive this, I’m going to do it,” Miller said. Some University students are interested in trying the sport. Junior Macy Weatherhead, an exercise science major, said

she would like to try skydiving because she thinks it seems really exciting and she likes things that get her adrenaline pumping. “Not many people can say they’ve skydived, so I think it would be a cool thing to do,” Weatherhead said.
