Cla-Zel spotlights local music Area bands perform in radio show ‘Live Wire”

Imposters pose as gas utility employees to scam students out of money, personal information

The “Live Wire” Radio-TV show is sponsoring a free all-ages show Thursday evening at Cla-Zel. Live Wire is a series that celebrates and spotlights Bowling Green’s music scene. It airs on WBGU 88.1 FM radio station and PBS-affiliated television stations. The show was modeled after pop radio television programs from the past, such as “Austin City Limits” and PBS’ “Old Time Radio Hour,” said Steve Merrill, a University telecommunications instructor who is involved with WBGU and the Live Wire radio show. “The Livewire Radio Show features different types of music and we weigh them in on their merits,” Merrill said. “We’ll have anything from metal to hip-hop. The bands just need enough quality material.” Thursday’s event will be a part of the show series and will feature four bands. “The musical acts we pick have to work well for television and must be polished musicians,” Merrill said. One of these polished musicians is Matt Donahue, a University instructor of popular culture who has been playing with various bands for 30 years. Donahue’s band, “Matt Donahue’s Mad 45,” specializes in rock ‘n’ roll covers as well as original pieces. “The covers we do are done with our own interpretation on it,” Donahue said. “We make each one our own.” Donahue said he has been influenced by instrumental musicians, including Link Ray and Dick Dale. “More recently, I have wanted to get back into playing my own
When even a few cents per month can make all the difference to college students on a budget, many marketers have been going door-to-door offering lower gas prices for students living off campus. Though the appeal of a lower gas bill can be tempting, some students have been skeptical when a stranger at their doorstep begins asking for personal information. Jordan Barhorst, a senior living at Campbell Hill, recently had someone claiming to work for Columbia Gas come to his doorstep offering to save him money on his gas bill. Barhorst became cautious when asked for his social security number. “I had never really dealt with anyone like that since this is my first time buying gas, so I let them in my house,” Barhorst said. “When he asked for my social security number I knew something was up and asked him to leave.” Before asking him to leave, Barhorst said the man was on the phone with someone reading off details of his account, including some personal information to the person on the other end. The man got visibly frustrated and upset with the person on the other end of the phone and, Barhorst said, was very unprofessional. Claire Hoover, a graduate student who also lives at Campbell Hill, experienced a similar situation at her apartment earlier this year. “People were coming around asking to see our last gas bill,” Hoover said. “I didn’t feel comfortable doing that so I told them my roommate in charge of that bill wasn’t home.” Hoover said she then called Columbia Gas, whose rep-

Balancing a job and taking care of a child does not go without its challenges. T he Employee Mot her’s Circle at the University helps to ensure these challenges are not faced alone. The support group offers women the opportunity to share concerns and receive guidance from other mothers who are in the same situation, said Amanda Vrooman, project coordinator for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs. Vrooman helped organize the support group as a way for the University’s working women to learn how to make the most of their situation. Mindy Flegle was one of the first women to get involved in the group. Her work at the University as
a student service counselor does not end at the end of her shift; she has a young child waiting for her when she gets home. However, she finds time during her lunch break to attend the support group. “I consider it to be my real life chat room,” Flegle said. “It is real people with real situations that are similar to yours. It’s nice to hear the challenges that other mothers are going through.” Helping fellow mothers with their challenges is a central aspect of the support group, Flegle said. “Once you get introduced to everyone and get to talking, you realize ‘my child went through the same thing’ and other mothers are able to share their experiences,” she said.

Merrill said. “Live Wire is a great way to find new local bands that you might not have heard of otherwise,” said junior Rebecca Priebe, general manager of WBGU. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the first band will start playing at 9 p.m. The show was organized by WBGU students. Although it is free, dona-

SCAM From Page 1 resentative said the company never sends people door-to-door and would already have the information these people were requesting. Students should be cautioned to know the difference between an authentic marketer and someone seeking information for improper reasons, said Chris Kozak, communications and community relations director for Columbia Gas. “Sometimes people are posing as a Columbia Gas employee and are using that as a way to gain funds from that person or entry into their house,” Kozak said. “Other times it’s someone from one of our choice marketers trying to get them to sign up to buy their gas from a third party marketer, which is a real program.” Columbia Gas has a program called Customer CHOICE that provides customers with the option to buy gas through a third party supplier, Kozak said. The program allows customers to pick from a list of different qualified suppliers while still receiving their bill through Columbia Gas. Senior Megan Behnfeldt, who lives at Columbia Court apartments, said someone came to her
apartment this year working with the Customer CHOICE program. “I had someone with a company by the name of Just Energy come to my apartment this year and I definitely didn’t think it was a scam,” Behnfeldt said. “I signed for them to be the primary provider of my gas and now on my bill each month, which Columbia Gas sends me, the amount of gas and price is given by Just Energy.” Columbia Gas has a list of their qualified suppliers on its website, which ca n help customers determine the validity of a marketer. Though some of these door-to-door marketers are authentic, Lt. Brad Biller of the Bowling Green Police Division suggests taking necessary precautions before providing anyone with personal information. “There are some valid folks out there trying to sell utility services, primarily gas services, which the city of Bowling Green does not provide,” Biller said. “I would strongly caution anybody about allowing someone entry into their residence as well as providing any information that could lead to identity theft, such as full account or social security numbers.” Koz a k c on f i r me d Hoover’s phone call with

Also, the only time a Columbia Gas employee would come to someone’s home is for a scheduled visit or in response to an emergency, Kozak said. Both Biller and Kozak said the best thing to do is to either ask for identification or call Columbia Gas or Bowling Green utilities if anyone comes door-to-door claiming to work for either. “If you’re ever uncomfortable in any way, we have someone on the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Kozak said. “We’re more than happy to let you know if someone works with us.”

A new website, IfMine.com, was recently launched in Bowling Green. The website is designed for users to exchange critical feedback, collaborate and seek mentorship on a variety of projects. “The site was built for people in all fields,” said Danielle Hunter, social media director of ^IfMine. “Basically, if you have a project in need of feedback, ^IfMine is for you.” Dr. Joel Shiffler, creator of ^IfMine, came up with the idea for his website in 1996 when he was writing a true story about an aspiring genius from a disadvantaged family. “My problem for the main character was ‘How is he going to succeed with surmounting huge odds working, like an army, against him?’” Shiffler said. “I knew he needed tools of organizing others together for the cause. These tools would have ideas managed into time — well-searched-out information, easy access, available at any time and as quickly as possible.” He used the thought process behind this story to build an idea for what is now IfMine.com. Users can post any type of project and invite others to view, critique and even edit or revise it. Multiple people can also join together and collaborate on a single project or document, whether it’s an
essay or a business plan. “When you think about what’s out there on the web, there’s a lot of places where you can put something up, but it doesn’t necessarily connect you with the right people,” said Anthony Fontana, IfMine.com designer and University instructor in the School of Art. To connect with people who would be most helpful on a certain project, ^IfMine uses a tag system similar to the hashtag on Twitter, Fontana said. The project tags determine which users will see it, such as users who share a knowledge or interest in the project subject. “As the system evolves, people who are also business professionals would see those projects come up and be able to offer feedback because that’s their area of expertise,” Fontana said. Because the website is still in the very early stages, it doesn’t have many users, but the goal of ^IfMine is to attract a large population with varied interests, including experts in different subjects. To accommodate the many interests of ^IfMine users, the website can also be used as a tool for people of shared hobbies to collaborate. “I’m currently using the site to start a collaborative eBook about scrapbooking,” Hunter said. “I’ve also

What that means for you is that you will no longer be eligible to stay on you parents’ health insurance until the age of 26, like you can now. So you will have a greater likelihood of being uninsured, which means if you get sick or injured, you’re probably going to rack up a bunch of outrageously high bills that you cannot pay.

I must admit that I’ve felt like an outsider my entire life, not only because I am albino but because I did not grow up liking popular culture, and chose to value virtue rather than my appearance, or even the veneer of virtue that many portray. Most importantly I decided that it was impossible to have a career or family in Bowling Green, so I moved to rainy Portland, Oregon and got married this past December. Somehow we have lost sight of values, and not of the religious variety, which many use as camouf lage, but universal human values. I should say that we get the government that we deserve, and it’s unfortunate that the local and state government has done a poor job, and this is exemplified in education, a field I attended school for. When I look at the University, I see deeply systemic problems; a school more focused on sports and greek life than empowering students and incubating small business. Who had President Cartwright siphon state funds meant for STEM and job re-training, and buy unnecessary mandatory student dorms, dining halls and a basketball stadium, then transfer ownership to
STOODT From Page 4 medicinal and/or recreational marijuana use, the federal government remains steadfast and adamant in its own enforcement of federal laws. Unfortunately, that means a continuation of the failed war on drugs, which costs the federal, state, and local governments a combined $41.3 billion every year, according to the Cato Institute. Things look even more grim when you combine that data with a report from the International Center for Prison Studies at King’s College London, which reveals that the United States’ prison population accounts for nearly one quarter of the entire world’s incarcerations. The same report also estimates 500,000 of these individuals are imprisoned for drug related offenses. Perhaps we could have a discussion on the merits of the drug war, but the inefficiency isn’t in question, either. About 40 percent of high school seniors admit to having taken some illegal drug in the past year — a 10 percent increase from two decades ago, according to a survey financed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Put simply, it isn’t working. The logic behind the war on

Ideological divide will result in gridlock MATTHEW THACKER ASSISTANT FORUM EDITOR
“Somehow we have lost sight of values, not of the religious variety, which many use as camoufage, but universal values.” her nonprofit that pays her in perpetuity after she quit? A high school that I not only attended but also had to teach in, which is not only underfunded, but has children who are under parented. Teachers are required to not only teach children who are violent offenders, but are expected to perform miracles in groups of 50 at a time, and not deviate from a curriculum of test-based memorization. Ultimately the virtue most missing from Bowling Green is the virtue of critical thinking, lost at the expense of selfishness. For it has not only removed the ability to empathize with others who are different, but to realize that everyone is in this world together because “no man is an island entire of itself,” and that investing in the future requires significant sacrifices from everyone.
Election 2012 is finally over and the results are in: four more years of total gridlock in Washington. Anyone who reads my column regularly will not be surprised that I am very happy that President Obama was re-elected for another term as our president, and relieved that the Democrats will continue to be the majority party in the U.S. Senate. I am saddened, however, that Republicans will continue to control the U.S. House of Representatives. All of this adds up to precisely the same split in our government that we have had for the last two years, and for the last two years the extremely conservative, tea party wing of the Republican Party in the House, has held up legislation from being enacted and in many cases from even being voted on. I have chalked this up to the fact that House Republicans were afraid that if the President’s policies were implemented, they would turn around the economy, essentially guaranteeing Obama another term. My hope is now that is not an issue. The House
Republicans will be more willing to compromise with House Democrats on important national issues, but somehow I have a feeling that will still not be the case. The willingness (or lack thereof) to compromise is what most of the issues in our government seem to boil down to. That is one of the main reasons that I identify myself as a Democrat. I feel like Democrats are more willing to compromise than are Republicans. Many Republicans will look at the first part of my column and point out that the Democrats had control of both house of Congress and the presidency during the first two years of President Obama’s administration and ask why Democrats did not accomplish more during those two years. The answer is compromise. President Obama ran in 2008 partially on his ability to compromise with Republicans in Congress and when he was elected and his party held control of the Congress, he tried to fulfill his promise of bipartisanship. He didn’t want to just ram legislation through like his predecessor had when his party held the presidency and control of both houses of Congress. Because of Obama’s attempts at compromise, not as much was accomplished
“The House of Republicans will be more willing to compromise with House Democrats on important national issues, but somehow I have a feeling that will still not be the case.” as everyone had hoped would be, and Republicans basically laughed at the offer to work together that Obama was trying to extend. This was evidenced again later in President Obama’s term when the debate about raising the nation’s debt ceiling was going on. Democrats wanted to primarily raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans while Republicans primarily wanted to cut federal spending on social programs like Medicaid and food stamps. Obama said he would meet in the middle; raise taxes on the rich a little and cut spending a little, but Republicans would not compromise. The result is nothing was settled and our government is getting ready to essentially have the same debate all over again. We here in northwest Ohio had the chance to have a congressperson who believes fully in compromise for the betterment of all, but unfortunately she lost to incumbent Bob Latta who is one of the most uncompromising (and most conservative) members of Congress.
The ideological divide in our country is wide and deep and I am reminded of Bill Maher saying something to the effect of: How can Republicans and Democrats agree on legislation when they can’t even agree on what is reality? I think that it is an excellent point. For example, when two parties debate climate change, the debate is not about different approaches that can be taken to curb climate change. The debate is about whether climate change is happening — it is happening according to 97 percent of scientists according to National Public Radio. The fact that a significant number of scientists believe that according to quantitative data global climate change is occurring should pretty much end the “Is it real?” portion of the debate. After all, how can they ever agree on the answers if they can’t even agree on what the questions are?

drugs makes just as much sense as the prohibition of alcohol did in the 1920s; in short, it doesn’t. When you factor in the financial cost of incarceration, enforcement, and other facets of the ordeal, it becomes evident that this is not merely a war on drug abusers, but a war on all United States citizens. What does this say about our country? Can we still be deemed the “land of the free?” Prisons are not what we think about when we think of America, and they shouldn’t have to be. A free country should not have 1.6 million people in prison, and a fiscally responsible country cannot afford to.

Falcons beat Lake Erie, lose to Cleveland State By Alex Krempasky Reporter
MICHAEL REED | THE BG NEWS
JORDON CRAWFORD, BG guard, directs traffic as he is guarded by Lake Erie’s Andy Bosley during the Falcons’ 63-53 victory against the Storm earlier this season at the Stroh Center.
The BGSU men’s basketball team won its season opener 63-53 against Lake Erie College on Friday, but fell to Cleveland State 79-73 in overtime on Tuesday. The win against Lake Erie College marks the 21st straight home opener that the Falcons came out on top. Senior point guard Jordan Crawford led the Falcons with 22 points, 16 of which were scored in the first half. BG beat the Storm on the boards 44-35, which helped the team dominate Lake Erie the entire game. The Falcons recorded 20 offensive rebounds and 24 defensive rebounds. The Storm only had nine offensive rebounds, but beat BG in defensive rebounds with 26. The Falcons first game against a Division I opponent was against the Cleveland State Vikings on Monday in the Preseason NIT in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Falcons and Vikings went back and forth the whole game, and the score was tied at the end of the first half (33-33) and the second half (66-66). The Falcons stayed strong throughout regulation but the Vikings put a stop to senior Auston Calhoun’s offensive game. In regulation, Calhoun put up 30 of the Falcons’ 66 points, but in overtime he did not score a single point. Turnovers plagued Crawford and the Falcons the whole game. BG recorded 16 turnovers during the game, eight of which were during the second half alone. Crawford recorded nine turnovers during the game against Cleveland State, which ties his career high that was set last season against Akron. With the loss against Cleveland State, the Falcons will not qualify for the second round of the tournament in New York City, and will face the loser of the Michigan-IUPUI game on Tuesday at 5 p.m. in Ann Arbor, Mich. BG will return to the Stroh Center on Nov. 27 when they take on the Detroit Mercy Titans of the Horizon League at 7 p.m.
Notes: BG hockey struggling to get out to early leads By Ryan Satkowiak Senior Reporter
The BG hockey team has struggled to get ahead early this season. Through 11 games, the team has only had a lead after one period only three times. However, when the Falcons do get out to the early lead, they have had good success. In those three occurrences, BG is 2-0-1. That tie came on Oct. 27 against Ohio State, a game BG eventually won in a shootout. Conversely, in the eight occurrences BG has trailed or been tied after one period, it is 0-6-2. One of those ties came this past Saturday against Western Michigan. Even though BG trailed after a period, it outshot the Broncos 11-5 in the first period and played with great intensity. The challenge is getting the team to consistently repeat that energy; something that coach Chris Bergeron said he doesn’t have a cut-and-dry answer to. “I don’t know how much control I have over that,” he said. “You give them the, ‘let’s go get them’ type thing in the pregame, but it comes down to the 20 guys who are in the lineup that night deciding how they’re going to start. For that I look at the older guys. ”I have some control of the attitude of the team throughout the day, but when it comes down to 7 o’clock and that first shift,” Bergeron said. “I think it’s up to the guys that are out there to make sure we come out and play the game we want to.”
BG has often been able to match the intensity of it opponents in opening period. Through 11 games, BG has put up 93 first period shots, while giving up 94. The issue comes with converting those chances. The Falcons have been outscored 12-5 in the first period so far this season. Bergeron said he believes the team is getting to where it needs to be on the physical side of things, but is still developing on the mental side. “From the mental standpoint, we’re still trying to figure out … what buttons to push and when to push them,” he said. “So those adverse situations in games throw us in a loop for six minutes where all of the sudden they’ve tied the game, or taken us out of the game. It’s something we’ve struggled with.”
Increased confidence Sophomore defenseman Rusty Hafner has shown steady improvement so far this season. After playing only 19 games as a freshman, the Toledo native has suited up for eight of BG’s 11 contests this season, already equaling his point total from 2011-12. He scored his first collegiate goal on Oct. 27 against Ohio State when he jumped up to join an offensive rush, something he didn’t do a lot last season. “Last year I maybe just tiptoed around being a freshman, just tying to feel my way though,” Hafner said. “At the end of the

STUDENTS HAVE dinner at The Oaks on Tuesday evening. The University offers meal plans for commuters to make dining more convenient.
Meal plans convenience commuters By Geoff Burns Reporter
While students are required to have a meal plan while living on campus during their first two years at the University, offcampus students can choose whether they want to buy one. Commuters can purchase a variety of meal plans. These include purchasing a dining plan consisting of increments of 25, 50 or 75 BG1 Card swipes or $212.50, $400 and $562.50 per semester. Off-campus students can purchase a full meal plan as well, with choices between a bronze, silver or gold plan. Michael Paulus, director of Dining Services, said it’s cheaper for an off-campus student to purchase a block plan instead of purchasing their own groceries. Instead of get-

The site is currently in a private beta testing period, which means users have to sign up for the site and wait for an invitation before they can begin using it. Its developers really
ting food right away, students eating off campus need to buy the food, as well as ingredients and condiments to go with their meal. “Eating is more expensive when you’re living at home,” Paulus said. “These blocks are good for the entire academic year and you get a full meal out of it. We have desserts and beverages too without having to wash dishes and you get a good value for that price.” Students living off-campus are busy every day with work and school, making it difficult for them to find time to make and buy their own meals off campus, let alone to actually know how to cook the food, said Patricia Donnelly, program manager at Student Money Management Services. “If you’re very busy and don’t
mind paying for a little extra convenience, then it might be cheaper for you to buy your meals in a convenient way such as on campus,” Donnelly said. “Students are so busy that it’s worth it to buy food on campus and they aren’t going to be wasting any of it.” About 800 students have voluntarily chosen to buy a meal plan even though they aren’t required to, Paulus said. “I try to find value in price points because not everybody is the same,” Paulus said. “I want to make sure to find price points that are available for people to eat.” Junior Cody Manon has lived off campus for two years and he is using the 50-block dining plan this year. This past year he purchased his own food off campus.
Manon uses the plan three days each week, one swipe each day, he said. “Last year, I spent about $50 every two weeks on groceries and this year I’m only spending $30 every two weeks,” Manon said. “I’m definitely saving money from last year, but I wish I could eat at the Union, too, instead of only at the Oaks and the Carillon Place.” Individuals living off campus must choose how they want to go about buying and consuming food based on their schedule and needs, Donnelly said. “Sometimes it helps to just really think about how you want to purchase your own food, instead of jumping into something that may not be as helpful that you thought it would be,” she said.
want to work on getting University students involved, Hunter said. “We would like to offer that [registration] to anyone with a BGSU email,” she said. “You would pretty much be automatically given an invitation to sign up.” Even though the site is geared towards users of all statuses and professions, Fontana said it could serve as a useful resource for students in particular. “This could be a great tool for students who are working on papers and projects of any kind and are looking for feedback outside of their closest cir-
cle of friends,” he said. ^IfMine offers an outlet outside of a classroom where people can come together and share their own knowledge with each other to not only improve the skills of others, but of themselves as well. “The student wins if they see how talented they are, simply by others putting it out to them,” he said. “That’s where mentoring, collaboration and followers are true friends — when they give to each other something that counts.” The website is scheduled to have an official launch to the public in early March at South by Southwest, a
conference and festival in Austin, Texas. Twitter was officially launched at the festival in 2007. While in these early stages, ^IfMine is coming out with new features every couple of weeks or every month, Fontana said. The social function should be integrated sometime in January, which will allow ^IfMine users to link their projects to other social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, Hunter said. “I look forward to the future of ^IfMine,” she said. “It has the potential of becoming a big-time website.”

HOCKEY From Page 6 year, we had our meetings and coach told me [offense] was probably the worst part of my game. Kind of took that to heart and worked on that over the summer. “I try to be simple and just get the puck to the forwards,” Hafner said. “If I have an opportunity to jump into the play I do it.” Hafner said a big reason for his improved play has been because he is more confident out on the ice. “I got a couple good games under my belt,” he said. “Kept working hard and just kept building off that.”
Home not sweet The Falcons have struggled playing at home, not just this season but during Bergeron’s two-plus seasons at the helm of the program. Since the 2010-11 season, BG is 9-24-7 at home, including an 0-4-2 mark this season. It is a stat that has the coach miffed. “I wish I knew,” Bergeron said. “Because the crowd
deserves better. We’ve had good crowds, had people hang with us and come to our games. It’s not about effort; I know our guys are trying the best they can at home. If I knew I’d have fixed it by now.” In that same timeframe, BG is 17-34-5 in games played away from the BGSU Ice Arena. “It’s frustrating,” Hafner said. “Obviously you want to get some wins at home and make the fans happy. It’s just one of those things that we’ll get together soon enough.”
Rematch This weekend will be the first time BG and Ferris State have met since this past March, when the Falcons eliminated the top-seeded Bulldogs from the second round of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs. Despite that postseason success, the Falcons fared poorly against the Bulldogs this past season, losing five of the seven games the two teams played. “They’re a team we know very well,” Bergeron said. “They make it extremely
difficult to score five-onfive. We had a couple guys get hot in the playoffs last year and that helped us score goals against them. They had some turnover on the back end and in goal, but they’re still defending extremely well because that’s their brand.” Part of the turnover was the graduation of first team All American goalie Taylor Nelson. He finished the season with a 2.10 goals-against average and a .924 save percent, g u id i ng t he Bulldogs to the National C ha mpion sh ip ga me, where they lost to Boston College. Picking up where Nelson left off has been C.J. Motte. As a freshman this past season, he played in 12 games, going 5-5-2 with a 1.98 GAA and a .925 save percent. In 10 games this season, he has a 2.24 GAA and a .926 save percent. Leading the team in points this season is forward Corey Kane, who has three goals and five assists in 10 games. He tallied only 11 points in 38 games this past season.
