BROKEN SILENCE

Legislation defines sexual assault

New Ohio law gives explicit guidelines for consent, broadens definition

By Cassie Sullivan Assistant Managing Editor

Event seeks to allow deceased victims of domestic violence to be heard John Stinchcomb Reporter

Amid an audience that filled the Lenhart Grand Ballroom nearly to capacity, the stories of 69 women were told one-by-one at the Silent Witness Project Monday night.

Those women, all from the Northwest Ohio area, were victims of domestic violence and lost their lives as a result over the past 10 years.

“Each woman has an individual reader whose demographics match her so that her story is represented authentically,” said Mary Krueger, director of the University’s Women’s Center, which founded the Northwest Ohio Chapter of the Silent Witness Project in 2001.

Behind every reading stood a life-sized, wooden, red silhouette figure, reflecting the likeness of each victim, along with a shield that eternalized her story and name.

Together they make up this year’s silent witnesses for the region, which are intended to both embody the real consequences of domestic violence and stand as testaments to the breaking of silence surrounding this issue.

“Because of the reader’s willingness to stand in those shoes, the silent witnesses are, even if only for tonight, silent no longer,” Krueger said.

Ulester Douglas, interim executive director of Men Stopping Violence, led the event as the key-

Panel to discuss issues for midterm, local elections

In Ohio, there is a similar legislation to California’s “Yes Means Yes” policy, which is making universities take a closer look at sexual assault on college campuses.

Ohio’s legislation is called t he Bipa r t isa n Ca mpus Accountability and Safety Act, and it aims to establish campus resources and support services for student survivors. It also increases campus accountability, among other requirements that universities would have to comply with.

“A lot of legislation ... looks like the new bill is at the federal level, the McCaskill Bill [Campus Accountability],” said Associate Dean of Students Julie Snyder.

“The thing I appreciate the most about the ‘Yes Means Yes’ bill is the definition of consent, and that’s the part our institution is looking at.”

The University has been looking at the definition of consent being used.

Julie Broadwell, director of The Sexual Assault Awareness For Empowerment Center [SA AFE Center], said the definition of consent is when someone is able to agree to sexual contact and is not under the influence of anything or anyone who might influence his or her choice.

“To us within the SA AFE Center, if someone was not able to give informed consent to anything, including if they were under the influence of drugs or alcohol, then they weren’t able to give consent,” Broadwell said.

“The bill is finally catching up to the way people have been working with victims and survivors, which is good. BGSU has also been looking at that and what is a clear definition regarding informed consent.”

The University’s current definition of sexual assault includes consent and also protects students who are under the influence or passed out at the time

ALL THAT JAZZ

University hopes to engage student voters, encourage participation in democracy Corey Maxwell Reporter

The University will host an election forum this Thursday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m. in the Union multipurpose room.

The event’s goal is to motivate students to participate in this year’s upcoming election on Nov. 4.

“The whole goal of the event is to pique students’ interest about voting and how their vote matters,” said David Westmeyer, undergraduate member of the University Board of Trustees.

Westmeyer said he hopes the event will encourage students with examples of how students have made their votes count.

“Just in Wood County, there has been legislation that has passed that wouldn’t have been

passed if BG students weren’t involved,” Westmeyer said.

Campus and community organizations will have tables set up with information on the gubernatorial race, issues on this year’s ballot and more.

At 7:30 p.m., Ohio Senator of District 2, Randy Gardner, will give the keynote speech regarding the importance of students’ responsibilities to vote.

“I believe students have as much or more at stake in elections as anyone, even though they don’t always vote in substantial numbers,” Gardner said. “Students are impacted by local, state and federal decisions. With their whole lives ahead of them, some of those decisions are magnified for college students. State and federal budgets and decisions

that impact the economy are especially important for young people.”

Following the keynote speech, a panel will discuss the importance topics such as voting.

Panelists include: Mike Zickar, chairman of the University’s psychology department and chairman of the Democratic Party for the Wood County Board of Elections; Matt Reger, executive committee chair of the Wood Country Republica n Pa r t y; Ma r y Krueger, University professor and founder of the Women’s Center; Alan Bannister, special events coordinator for the mayor’s office in Toledo; and Kasie Durkit, a senior at the University.

THE CITY OF BOWLING GREEN

At a panel on clean energy on Oct. 23, Vice President of Environmental Action Group, Jessica Echales, led the audience in an exercise where each person was asked to imagine his or her perfect world.

“This is your world,” Echales said. “However you want it to be, in the most positive, happy and content, peaceful way.”

The panel was hosted as part of No Impact Week, and the exercise mirrored a common theme that was woven throughout the entire week: each individual can make a difference.

No Impact Week, which lasted from Oct. 20 to 26, was organized primarily by the Office of Sustainability and was meant to increase the awareness on campus of environmental matters, such as clean energy and sustainability in general.

The genesis of No Impact Week came from the ideas of writer Colin Beavan, who visited the University in 2011. Beavan’s book “No Impact Man” was the freshman common reading experience for that year, and while University

Director of Sustainability, Nick Hennessy, said it took some time to enact those ideas, it provided the initiative.

“That [visit] kind of laid the groundwork for those types of events and those kinds of actions,” Hennessy said.

Prominent events during the week included “Roaming Recycling,” which had students going door-to-door in residence halls asking for recyclables, a showing of the film Plastic Paradise about plastic’s negative effects on the environment and Friday Night Lights, where student volunteers turn off the lights in various academic buildings.

Josh Chamberland, an intern for the Office of Sustainability, helped organize the week, and said he thought it ended up being successful.

“There’s always room to make things even better and bigger in the future, but I think for the very first time, I was very pleased with how it turned out,” Chamberland said.

Both Hennessy and Chamberland were pleased

WISHES TO REMIND MOTORISTS OF THE REGULATIONS PROHIBITING PARKING ON CERTAIN STREETS DURING SNOW, ICE OR SLEET CONDITIONS.

The regulations prohibit parking on the designated streets (including all cul-de-sacs) during “Snow Emergencies.” A “Snow Emergency” can be declared if snow, ice, or sleet is forecast, and in any case will automatically become effective without a declaration when the snow depth reaches two inches (2”).

When a Snow Emergency is declared the news media will be advised. The declaration will contain the effective time of the emergency. If snow reaches a depth of two inches without a Snow Emergency having been declared, the police desk will be able to advise the official time at which snow reached the two inch depth.

If a Snow Emergency becomes effective between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., motorists have two hours in which to remove their vehicles from the designated streets.

If the Snow Emergency becomes effective between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., motorists have until 9:00 a.m. to remove their vehicles from the designated streets.

Vehicles remaining on the designated streets in violation of the regulations are subject to being towed at owner expense.

If a particularly bad storm is forecast, additional streets may be designated in the declaration of emergency. If this should happen, every effort will be made to notify the news media and to post temporary “NO PARKING” signs.

The designated streets are called “SNOW STREETS” and are printed below. “SNOW STREET” signs have been erected on snow streets. It is pointed out, however, that the absence of signs will not relieve motorists of responsibility for improper parking.

Although the City will make every effort to inform the public of the existence of probable development of weather conditions requiring removal of motor vehicles from snow streets, motorists are still responsible for determining probable or existing weather conditions and removing their vehicles if required by the regulations.

Game

Wide receiver Ronnie Moore uses his family as inspiration for the game he loves

By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief

Some say he is speedy, some say he is quick and some say he is shifty, but Bowling Green wide receiver Ronnie Moore doesn’t know what makes him such an offensive weapon.

What he does know is that he loves the game of football and that keeps a smile on his face.

“I love it,” Moore said. “I can take my anger out on people, big or little. I love everything about football.”

It’s more than just football to Moore, it is something he grew up with, it’s a “family thing,” he said.

Many in his family have played football. His father Ron played in college at Northwestern Oklahoma State University and one of Moore’s older brothers played in college before he got in some trouble and was kicked out.

It’s now Ronnie’s turn as the next Moore to play Division 1 football, and he has taken advantage of that opportunity.

Club rugby team jumps out to 26-0 lead at the half en route to 45-24 win at University of Cincinnati Falcons overcome 14 penalties straight in conference battle against Bearcats

Men’s soccer rounds out non-conference at Detroit

JAKE GENRICH takes to ball down field in one of the Falcons’ home matches earlier this season.

By Brandon Shrider Assistant Sports Editor

Despite the better overall season record, the BG men’s soccer team finds themselves at the bottom of the Mid-American Conference standings.

Three losses in their last four games and no wins in three weeks, the Falcons have struggled to put the ball in the net with just five goals over their last eight games.

“We’re struggling, but we’re playing good teams,” said head coach Eric Nichols. “So if you just look at the record on paper I think it looks more extreme

than it is.”

The team understands that these are issues at the moment, but realizes that they are back on the upswing for the final four games, Nichols said.

“We’re playing better than we were, so it’s good to see that we’re going in the right direction. We’re not really too worried,” said senior Danny Baraldi.

“We’ve got a four game season now and we still have a chance to get into the [MAC] tournament, so we’re focused on that.”

Focus is something that BG will need as they take on Detroit.

The Bowling Green club rugby team boosted its record to 9-2-1 this weekend with a 45-24 win against the University of Cincinnati.

The Bearcats’ season has been less than satisfactory thus far, posting a 2-4 record. The University of Cincinnati looked to end the season on a good note with a victory against the Falcons. Although BG had already clinched a spot in the Mid-A merica n Conference championship, a win against the Bearcats provided the Falcons with good momentum going forward.

W hile head coach Tony Mazzarella said he was happy with the win, he felt BG did not play to its full potential.

“We didn’t come out strong,” Mazzarella said. “We had bad energy.”

Cincinnati had a size advantage over BG, but what the Falcons lacked in size, they made up for in offensive play. Nick Ross and Adam Regini placed several kicks downfield for Steve Fritsch and Cole Shaffer to retrieve, which allowed the offense to

“Since we were already in the championship, we may have taken the game lightly.”

Tony Mazzarella | Head Coach run smoothly. The Viancourt brothers, Frank and Allen, Rob Oswald and Sean McFarland also stopped multiple Cincinnati runs.

The Falcons jumped out to an early lead with a try by Allen Viancourt 40 seconds into the game. Another try by Cole Shaffer and two conversion kicks

by Mike Powell padded the BG lead. The Falcons went into the second half leading the Bearcats 26-0.

Cincinnati attempted to claw its way back into the game in the second half with a couple of tries, conversions and a penalty kick. The Bearcats also took advantage of the mass amount of penalties called on the Falcons.

At one point, BG was penalized 14 times in a row. Director Roger Mazzarella said he was dis-

pleased with the penalties.

After solving the penalty problem, the Falcons got back on a roll. BG added three more tries

by Allen Viancourt, Nick Ross and McFarland and two more conversions by Mike Powell, pushing the final score to 45-24.

Captain Alex Garnaut said offensive composure was a key to the Falcons success, but he was disappointed in BG’s defensive play.

“We were weak and undisciplined on defense,” Garnaut said. “But our offensive play was sound and powerful which allowed us to keep scoring.”

Tony Mazzarella said he is looking forward to what the Falcons need to work on before next week’s MAC championship game.

“The long road trip may have caused us [BG] to be a little slow,” Mazzarella said. “Since we were already in the championship, we may have taken the game lightly, We need to make sure [the slow start] doesn’t happen again and look forward to next week.”

The ninth ranked Falcons travel to Illinois to face Northern Illinois University for the MAC championship next week.

Minimum wage should not be increased, other ways to make decent living McDonald’s third quarter financial statements have been released and their positive impact is similar to a soggy french fry.

Revenue and profits are down five and 30 percent, respectively, from a year ago. The problem is global: sales are weak in China and Europe, as well as the United States.

At McDonalds, as with any business, the customer is king. To survive, any business must make it easy for customers to do business with them.

In the fast food business, there are at least three stages: order acceptance, order fulfillment and order delivery and clean up.

Bottom line: there’s a possible major workforce

reduction for the fast food industry in the future.

This should concern anyone working an entry-level position.

In 2012, protests began in New York for an increase in the minimum wage paid to fast food employees. These protests later spread to 100 cities across the country.

For some reason, there are those who are convinced that wage increases should be given rather than earned. In their view, workers are entitled to raises, regardless of whether the workforce is more productive or not.

This flies in the face of both common sense and economic experience.

This belief may be due to a misunderstanding about the nature of the minimum wage. The minimum wage was not designed to support a family or even an individual. It is a wage paid to entry-level workers with few skills.

So the protesters don’t [or can’t] seem to understand that the minimum wage is not, by itself, a bootstrap out of poverty.

Many minimum-wage workers are under 21 years of age and come from families who are decid-

edly middle class. Many of these workers receive a raise within a year.

The best entry into the American middle class is to become educated or trained in a marketable skill, secure a job and then perhaps marry and have children. It’s also important that these steps be done in that order. Mixing the sequence is usually economically fatal.

It’s akin to serving french fries before they’re cooked.

There’s a time, place for bad grammar, Television show highlights Hubble slang, students should be professional Space Telescope, glimpses into past When I tell people I’m planning on becoming an English teacher, their reactions are largely same: “Oh, I’ll have to watch how I speak around you.”

Even if it’s in jest, I really dislike hearing this. Not only does it perpetuate a stereotype that English teachers are all petty sticklers out to judge people’s grammar in ever yday conversation, but it puts an unnecessary barrier between us.

Yes, it’s true that I will have a very important responsibility someday pretty soon. I will be in charge of molding young people’s grammar.

Not just any young people, either, but middle schoolers. Junior high students, a generation who will likely have never known life without iPhones.

The way things are going, it’s safe to say that kids will be even more immersed in technology and its accompanying lingo than they are now. Someone’s got to tell them that “alot” is not a word, “lol” is never acceptable in a paper and that apostrophes are all about possessives and are very rarely used to form plurals.

Who knows, maybe I’ll be the one to halt the irritating, ghastly trend of sticking apostrophes in last names.

Example: the First Family. Are they the Obama’s? No. They’re the Obamas. Same goes

for the Millers and the Joneses.

You don’t need the apostrophe unless you’re talking about something that belongs to the family as a whole, like the Millers’ cat. Unless that’s the case, leave the apostrophe out of names.

Of course, there’s a difference between slang and plain, old-fashioned faulty grammar. I admit to having the pet peeves you would expect a future English teacher to have, although I prefer to think that anyone who values appea ring intelligent would feel the same way.

One of the most mesmerizing things is knowing that what we’re looking at here is roughly 25 million years old, relative to us.

The light the photo figuratively eternalized has literally traveled multiple tens of millions of light years prior to being in range of the Hubble.

In that way, technology like the HST acts similar to that of a visual time machine.

To further illustrate the point, let’s brief ly delve into the hypothetical and imaginary realm.

Consider this: If some intelligent life at the distance of the Whirlpool Galaxy were to use similar technology with equivalent capabilities of the Hubble.

A nd point it in our direction a nd snap a picture today, the light c apt u red f rom t he Milky Way would be just as old, relatively speaking, as what we see from M51.

Alcohol-related incidents may increase on Halloween

THE BG NEWS SUDOKU

University police advises students to exercise care, stay safe during holiday weekend

By Seth Weber City Editor

While many students go to parties on Halloween, they should practice caution at the same time.

Because this Halloween falls on a Friday, Lt. John Stewart of the University police, who works the midnight shift on Halloween, said he expects more people out than if it had been on a week day. This could mean increased numbers of alcohol and violence calls, which are the biggest problems during Halloween, he said.

During Halloween the University police’s staffing stays the same as normal, but Stewart said they take a more “proactive approach” by going into buildings more in order to be in closer contact with students.

Stewart said students need to be aware of their surroundings and how much they drink.

“The same things they do all the rest of the time of the year is extra important around Halloween,” he said. “Really the goal is to have fun and at the end of the night, go home, preferably without encountering police in a negative situa-

CRIME From Page 1 of the sexual assault, a time when consent cannot be given.

Right now, the University’s definition of sexual assault, according to the Wellness Connection’s page on Definitions, is “An umbrella term covering the classifications above and a wide range of actions taken against a person without the person’s consent, against the person’s will, or under force, threat of force, or coercion. Sexual activity occurring when someone is medicated, asleep, passed out, or drunk can also be illegal. In these situations a person cannot truly consent since she or he is not in a coherent state of mind.”

W hat Broadwell looks for when searching for a definition of consent is what the University offers as a definition of consent, along with what can be possibly added to the definition used by the University.

“I think sometimes what you want to look at is: do you have something that is concise, or do you have something that is so long and has so many bullet points people spend so much time reading. I think BGSU’s is good, I think

tion.”

He advises students to stay with friends and be aware of dangers such as alcohol poisoning. If students need a ride or a way home, he said they can call the Campus Escort Service at 419-372-8360.

Junior Kelsey Jones will be with friends this weekend and said other students should be smart about who they’re with.

“It’s best to travel in packs, like groups of people you trust,” she said.

Jones also said eating a full meal and drinking water is good to do before drinking alcohol.

To keep from getting too drunk, Faith Yingling, director of the Wellness Connection, said students should set a drink limit and learn what a standard drink is. She said a 12 oz. beer is considered one standard drink, but something like a Long Island Iced Tea counts as five.

She also advised against mixing alcohol and energy drinks.

“It’s like having one foot on the brake and one foot on the accelerator,” Yingling said.

Another danger Yingling highlighted was increased pedestrian

there’s going to be some more tweaks to it in terms of putting silence and silence doesn’t necessarily mean consent.”

While the definition of sexual assault and consent are defined by the University and through the bills, other steps are being taken to educate students on consent, sexual assault and relationships, said Director of Wellness Faith Yingling.

“We have our peer educators and so our peer educators provide education related to sexual assault,” Yingling said. “They go out and educate the campus community on the issue. We also have, this year, for our incoming students, the “Think About It” program. It is an online educational tool that provides education not only on sexual assault, but healthy relationships. It also includes alcohol and drug use and misuse, all combined.”

For upperclassmen, a supplemental program will be offered.

Another way for students to learn about sexual assault and how to prevent it is through the “It’s On Us” campaign.

“It’s On Us” is a student-led campaign that started in September and is currently in the works by the students involved in the cam-

traffic during Halloween.

“I’m always amazed by the pedestrian traffic,” she said. “People need to be cautious whether you’re driving or are a pedestrian.”

Students also should be mindful of their costumes, she said. Yingling said students shouldn’t make something that could be mistaken for a weapon, especially since police will be out.

During Halloween shifts, Stewart said students are found stumbling down the sidewalk or passed out in bathrooms. If students are worried about a friend in poor condition, he said it’s best to call the police or ambulance to help.

“If they’re afraid their friend’s had too much to drink, they should maybe call,” he said. “Let us come and check them out. Don’t be afraid of what’s going to happen to them. The important thing is to get them help.”

Although these can be problems, Stewart said students often keep safe during holidays such as these.

“I think our students do a great job of knowing how to have fun and knowing when not to take it too far,” he said.

paign.

“What’s great about it is that it has a positive message,” Yingling said. “All of us play a role on preventing these types of things from occurring. It’s on all of us, it’s not just on males, it’s not just on females, it’s on everyone. Everyone plays a role and it’s how we can all work together to end sexual assaults and sexual violence.”

Another way for students to be involved in stopping sexual assault and violence is to be aware of what’s going on around them, and by participating in bystander intervention.

Bystander intervention started in the sexual violence realm, but has since expanded to include other topics, Yingling said.

While bystander intervention is important, prevention and not letting anything get to the point where intervention is needed is even more important.

“It’s about changing the culture and that’s what I think is great about the ‘It’s On Us’ campaign,” Yingling said. “It’s trying to change the culture. We don’t want to live on a campus where people are sexually assaulted. We don’t want to be a part of that. Is that easy to do? It takes time. But it doesn’t mean it’s impossible.”

IMPACT From Page 2 with the number of participants throughout the week. Roughly 50 people per hall donated recycling during Roaming Recycling, 20 to 25 people attended Plastic Paradise and about 50 people participated in Friday Night Lights, which is a record for the weekly event. Overall, 225 people signed up to receive No Impact Week updates.

Though the Office of Sustainability was the week’s primary sponsor, various student organizations assisted as well, Hennessy said. This collaboration, he said, was one of the main reasons the week was a success.

“There was such a cast of characters involved in terms of planning what the event was going to be and then implementing it,” Hennessy said.

“When I walked into that energy panel, I thought, ‘another group organized this, I didn’t. This is perfect.’”

The week often echoed the exercise from the energy panel, with each individual participant putting forth an effort, though Chamberland said the week was a “two-part experiment.”

“The first part of this experiment is sort of an individual change or the individual aspect,” Chamberland said. “The second part of the [experiment] was the institutional change or the system-wide change.”

Chamberland said institutional change is accomplished through the education of many individuals. That, according to him, was the week’s biggest success.

“I think that’s the biggest accomplishment of this week,” he said. “Expanding that environmental consciousness to other students.”

ALYSSA N. BENES | THE BG NEWS

RONNIE MOORE drives the ball down the sidelines in the Falcons’ game against Western Michigan on Oct. 18. The Falcons lost 14-26 to the Broncos..

MOORE From Page 3 he has a total of 1,038 receiving yards and 11 total touchdowns with one coming on the ground this year.

Back home in Sanford, Florida, Moore always wanted to play Division 1 football, but he thought it was going to be easy.

“As a young one, everybody is like ‘Yeah, I want to go play at Florida State or Miami,’” Moore said.

“I thought it was easy, but it’s not. You have to grind for ever ything; nobody is going to give you anything.”

Moore was the starting running back for Seminole High School dating back to his sophomore year. That year, Moore decided to stop another hobby of his, racing dirt bikes, to focus on football.

“My dad came to me and was like, ‘I think it’s time to drop motocross and focus on football,’” Moore said.

He agreed and things changed from there. He became a highly recruited

prospect going into his junior year until he tore his groin.

After the injury, some major schools backed off, but after a good senior year, he committed to Cincinnati and head coach Butch Jones. Things changed again for Moore when he went on his official visit to Cincinnati.

Jones left for the head coaching position at the University of Tennessee.

Moore was left out, away from the game he loved.

He decommitted from Cincinnati before former Falcons head coach Dave Clawson, who had a good relationship with Jones, reached out to Moore.

“Clawson called Butch and asked him, ‘Who out of all of your recruits was the best one?’” Moore said. “Butch said me.”

Moore committed to BG and from there he has been doing what he does best, playing football.

On Nov. 13, 2013, the Falcons went on the road to Eastern Michigan University and Moore recorded the first college start of his career.

Reminiscing about that

game brought a huge smile to Moore’s face as he said, “Everybody was telling me all week that I had to step up. They kept asking me, ‘Are you going to step up?’ I was like, ‘If you give me a chance and see what I got, I will show you.’”

Show them is what he did as he had seven receptions for 161 yards and three touchdowns.

There is a saying Moore often tells himself called, “Great Under Major Pressure,” Moore said. “It goes, ‘When the spotlight is on you, what are you going to do?’”

He shined in that spotlight and then again in the spotlight of the MidAmerican Championship game. Moore recorded four recept ions for 145 yards and one touchdown.

“When the spotlight is on me, I just do what I do best, play football,” Moore said. “No matter who I’m going against, what day or how cold it is, put the ball in my hand and I’m going to make plays.”

Moore has 491 yards receiving this year, a

team leading four receiving touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. His best statistical game of this season came against the University of Massachusetts where he totalled 253 allpurpose yards w it h one receiving and one rushing touchdown.

Despite crossing the 1,000-yard receiving mark and the Falcons being in a position to go back to Detroit for the MAC Championship, Moore hasn’t forgotten his motivation, his family.

He calls his mother everyday and works to follow in his father’s footsteps by making it to the pros.

“I call my mom everyday just to hear her voice,” he said.

Moore had the chance to go home and see his family this past weekend after what he said felt like forever.

“I feel like I have my whole family on my back every day,” Moore said. “I wake up every day with a smile .... I’m just grateful to be waking up every day playing the game I love.”

A BG men’s soccer player looks to pass in a match earlier this season.

MEN’S From Page 3 Similar to the record of the Falcons, the Titans are 8-4-3 for the season including just one loss on their home field.

While the game is not a conference matchup for the Falcons, it will help the team gauge its progress and exactly where it stands for the last two critical MAC games of the season.

“It all comes down to the mindset how you go into it,” said junior Ryan James. “We know we have to play hard, but we can’t stress about it too much.

We just have to be ready to go.”

The mindset hasn’t changed for BG since the season opener.

Their biggest goal has been to find a way into the MAC tournament and this

remains feasible going into the final stretch.

“The last four games is all to play for,” Nichols said. “We’ve got a lot at stake, especially entrance into the MAC [tournament].”

This late-season opportunity has the team excited, but focused, as they continue to put in extra work, Baraldi said.

“We have to realize that our season is on the line,” James said. “If we win these games we keep playing, so it’s about how much do we really want it?”

Now, the Falcons will look to break out of their slump and jumpstart the final 4-game stretch against Detroit on Oct. 29.

“We’re starting to play like we were in the beginning of the year, so we’re excited and looking forward to our game on Wednesday,” Baraldi said.

SILENT From Page 1 note speaker. In his opening speech, he first took a moment to acknowledge what he described as a “wonderful” crowd and community saying, “this is important.”

Doug la s st re s se d responsibility. He said what might seem to some as obvious but vital to the discussion of domestic violence: men commit these acts against women because they can. They expect to get away with it, Douglas said, citing his finding that roughly one in 45 men convicted of these crimes is arrested.

Douglas pointed to an American society that too often blames victims by asking questions such as, “Why didn’t she leave?” or “What did she do to provoke him?” He said society must start holding offenders accountable and protect victims.

VOTE From Page 1 There will be time during and following the panel for students and others in attendance to ask questions.

Even though it is not a presidential election year, Westmeyer said it’s still

Also in attendance with booths were the Cocoon Shelter from Bowling Green and Open Arms from Findlay.

The Cocoon Shelter is the only shelter of its kind in Wood County, said Emily Prosser, community advocate and outreach specialist for Cocoon.

“We service anybody within Wood County as well as a few surrounding counties that don’t have resources,” Prosser said.

In addition to providing a safe shelter for victims, Cocoon maintains its vision of being a “transforming voice” in the area, which is committed to ending domestic violence and empowering those affected by it, Prosser said.

“We’ve been involved with the Silent Witness Project for 10 or 11 years now,” said Jodie DeVore of Open Arms.

Open Arms has served all of Hancock County since accepting its first residents in June of 1981 and

has continued to expand its programs ever since.

“We provide six programs and services to victims of domestic violence, as well as offenders and the families of both,” DeVore said.

While the shelters and programs are vital to their respective communities, the need for them is a symptom of the broader issue in the U.S. Douglas described a number of factors that have contributed to the problem, such as how masculinity is perceived in our culture, the shutoff from emotion and the values in a patriarchal society.

He concluded that success will only come if the crime is no longer tolerated and everyone is willing to speak up.

“The truth is,” Douglas said, “It is really not that complicated in some ways, Male violence against women and girls can end today— if men decide to stop.”

as important as ever to go vote.

“I think what’s really important is that a lot of people only vote every four years, but a lot of people in the know could argue that midterm elections are becoming significantly more important,” Westmeyer said.

Sen. Gardner spoke of

the importance regarding citizen’s duties to vote.

“Ohio has some of the most accessible voting laws in the nation and I have always believed it is our responsibility as citizens in a free society to vote,” Gardner said. “I hope our forum will help encourage more participation in this election.”
