The story of Max and Danae
Mon., Jan. 9
By Holly Shively Editor-in-Chief
10:23 P.M. Brandon Shultz, 27, was arrested for theft and shoplifting within the 100th block of Gypsy Lane, along with charges of possesion of marijuana and drug paraphenila. He was lodged at the Wood County Correctional Facility.
7:45 P.M. Ian Opaczewski, 25, was arrested for possesion of marijuana and drug paraphenila within the 100th block of Washington Street. He was lodged at the Wood County Correctional Facility.
Max Filby and Danae King are just one of the many couples that got a start at the University, but their relationship continues to grow years later as they move through reporting jobs using the skills they learned at The BG News. Filby and King met working at The BG News while attending the University during King’s freshmen year and Filby’s sophomore year. “Her freshmen year I tried to bring her under the fold…but she was very shy,” Filby said. While the two knew each other through The BG News, they didn’t become friends until the following year, after an “awkward icebreaker” in a BG News editor’s retreat, King said. The two began hanging out more frequently, especially with other members of the staff. “A lot of our friends thought something

n
was going on between us, but nothing really was at the time,” Filby said. After a few months, the two began dating. They would work together in the newsroom sometimes until 2 a.m. putting the next day’s issue together. Eventually, they both served as editor-in-chief their respective senior years before Filby graduated in 2013 followed by King in 2014. After graduation, Filby went to Memphis for an internship for about a month before returning to Northwest Ohio to begin work at a small paper in Bellevue. In December of 2013, he was offered a job at the Findlay Courier. Graduating a year later, King traveled to The Baltimore Sun for a post-graduation internship. “When it was time to kind of decide my next step…I really missed home and family in Ohio,” she said. She accepted a job at the Lima News on the spot as she was offered it, only a half hour from Filby in Findlay, but he wasn’t the only reason. There was also a Chipotle right

down the street, she said. About a year later, the two moved in together, and by February King was working alongside Fibly at The Findlay Courier. While she enjoyed her job as a business reporter at the Lima News, she wanted a new challenge and opportunity to report on a public entity. In their newest jobs, Filby and King have found themselves at somewhat competing newspapers. In September, Filby joined the staff of The Dayton Daily News—the fourth largest Ohio newspaper based on circulation size according the Agility PR Solutions—as an investigative higher education reporter. He moved to Fairborn, roughly 20 minutes northeast of Dayton, with anticipation that King’s job prospects would work out. They did. In October, King joined the Columbus Dispatch—the second largest Ohio newspaper—in late October, meaning she

Falcon Flames continued from Page 2 also joined Filby in Fairborn. King and Filby both covered the Ohio State University stabbing in November, and it got more competitive than most couples would expect to encounter. “When I was in Findlay and she was in Lima, those papers kind of compete…but they didn’t seem to overlap on coverage,” Filby said. Filby’s editors saw Ohio State University’s emergency services tweeting and quickly made the decision to send him to Columbus. On the way he called King to tell her, who was working on a story in a McDonalds in Newark, Ohio. She said she was very worried about Filby’s safety. “Selfishly I hoped he wouldn’t get there in time to see any of the action,” King said. When Filby got to the campus, he walked about a mile to the garage police surrounded. He was able to interview students and sheriffs while there, and later he met up with another reporter at a press conference at the hospital, coming out with a double by-line, next-day cover story on that Tuesday. While Filby went to a vigil later that night, King went to a press conference for the Dispatch, which lead to a much larger day after story, also on the cover on that Wednesday.
Throughout the days following the attack, both Filby and King continued coverage, but according to one of Filby’s editor said King had a 2-1 lead after he saw on Twitter that King was in the university’s oval the day after. “I was just focused on what I was doing, and we were told to go certain places,” King said of traveling to the oval with a photographer that day. “I didn’t think to say anything to Max. We weren’t really communicating a whole lot.” Filby and King did end up in some of the same places, however, including one press conference with a professor attacked during the day’s events. King asked him a question that Filby said just about every news organization used quotes from the next day. “It was probably the best question,” he said. Filby said the competition was “interesting and fun.” While King and Filby are used to talking about stories and bouncing ideas off each other at home, King said it was different to see Filby in action. “When I saw him it was a little bit surreal,” she said. “You have to
think we’ve been dating for five years, and I worked with him at the BG News and the Courier, but I also come home to Max every night…it made me kind of have a renewed respect for Max and what he does.” The two have plans to just stay where they are for now, but that may not be the end of the story. “We both definitely have high aspirations…but what we’re focused on now is doing the best journalism we can do,” Filby said. “That’s what’s most important to us.”

Back to School: Week One BY: TYLER VOLTZ
Cook your way into 2017 New year, new you, right? If you’re still looking for a New Year’s resolution and you need something that will actually be applicable for the rest of your life! I’m urging you to spend this year learning how to cook. It will not only be good for your wallet, but it will also make your other resolution (presumably getting healthy) more attainable. If you’ve convinced yourself you can’t cook and opt for fast food instead, you’re likely canceling out your morning workout when you could be choosing much healthier options found right in your own kitchen. Plus, I have some great news for you... anyone can cook! If you have a kitchen and an ability to make it to the grocery store on a weekly basis, you should try to get together some recipes. My first advice would be to start from your childhood. Ask your family for that recipe you loved so much growing up. Chances are it isn’t that difficult to make the family’s super secret pasta sauce. Gathering recipes that you already know you love will help you build a base of goto foods, especially if you are a picky eater. Next step, look for recipes online. There are plenty of easy meals out there that only

Caitlin Maloney Columnist require a knife, cutting board and one pot. Begin building a recipe book of staples that you like and can easily make during the week. My other piece of advice is to plan before you go to the grocery store. If you don’t plan you are bound to pick up things that either a) you won’t actually eat or b) are unrelated items that cannot be easily combined into a recipe. Try meal planning! Pick out a couple recipes that you know you want that week and make a list of the items you need for those meals. If you are on a budget there are plenty of online resources to find budget recipes. Now, you may ask: how can cooking really help you in 2017? First, learning to cook will be great for your wallet. No longer will you be spending all your money on takeout and delivery. If you spend wisely at the

grocery store, you could spend less than half of what you would at a restaurant for home cooked meals, and you could make those meals stretch for more than one day adding to your savings. Think of what you could do with that extra money. Pay your rent, save for graduate school, or visit that place that has been on your bucket list for years. On top of saving money, you can also save your waistline. Learning to cook healthy recipes will allow you to keep that goal of losing weight in 2017. Let’s also be real for a moment. Feeding yourself is a fundamental thing that everyone should be able to do. Taking pride in being a hot mess in the kitchen is not cool; it’s silly and wasteful. Learning to cook this year will provide you with a life long skill. Now, I’m not saying that everything you make at first will be the greatest thing you have ever eaten. Like everything it takes time to learn to cook, but the long term rewards far outweigh a couple of botched dinners. So, start simple and learn from your family, who has the cooking experience you need. Reply to Caitlin at thenews@bgnews.com

The dangers of eating meat
Did you know that you can combat environmental problems, like climate change and algal blooms in Lake Erie, from the comfort of your couch? You can, and it is as easy as eating less red meat! There are many reasons that people reduce or completely stop meat consumption, especially related to ethics and health. While those reasons are also compelling, the focus of this write-up will be on environmental impacts. Few people are aware of the great difference they can make for the environment, along with their health, through a simple diet change. Every time we, or another animal eats, there are going to be parts of the food that cannot be digested, as well as byproducts from metabolizing the food. Along with poop, we rid ourselves of metabolic waste by urinating, breathing and releasing heat. All of these processes are examples of ways that we lose some of the energy we eat. For all of the feed that the animal consumes, we only get to eat about 3-40% of it as meat. The range is large because efficiency differs with the type of animal and management practices. Cows are one of the biggest offenders—according to a study led by Cornell researcher Dr. Pimentel, for every 40 kg of energy going into the production of beef, we only get 1 kg of meat. How does all this affect the environment? We have to use a lot of space, almost 1/3 of the United States alone, to support livestock and their feed. Most land doesn’t come ready to support livestock, so we take over all kinds of environments and replace them with fields and
Audrey Maran Columnist pastures, which eliminates habitats for other important species. On top of that, we need to help the plants that support the livestock grow, which we usually do by adding fertilizer. Much of this fertilizer ends up running off into the water, and eventually stimulates growth of harmful algae, like the bloom in Lake Erie that made Toledo area water undrinkable for a couple of days in August 2014. By reducing our dependence on cows and other livestock, we can lessen the amount of plants that need to be grown, and therefore fertilizer that reaches the water. Besides the harm to land, eating meat contributes to climate change in a major way. As we move from talking about land to climate, we also transition from talking about poop to talking about farts and burps. When cows and other ruminants, like sheep and goats digest food, they release large amount of methane. Carbon dioxide is the most famous greenhouse gas, but methane is even better keeping heat trapped in our atmosphere. Looking at peer-reviewed journal articles and data from the Food and Agriculture Organization, somewhere between 12-18% of greenhouse gas emissions are from livestock
production. These emissions are largely a result of cow gas and manure storage, but also from artificial fertilizers, transportation and land conversion. Several studies have found that strategies to combat climate change would need to incorporate increasing productivity, managing manure better and decreasing meat and dairy consumption to be successful. Some people worry that without meat they won’t be able to eat nutritiously. However, there are many other foods that contain protein. One study compared average greenhouse gas emissions for several example meals. By eating a meal with carrots, whole wheat, soy bean products and apples you get the same nutritional value as eating green beans, potatoes, pork and an orange or frozen vegetables, rice, beef and tropical fruit. However, in comparison to the soy bean meal, the pork meal produces about three times more greenhouse gases, and the beef meal produces about 11 times more greenhouse gases. When you consider the impact of eating meat, particularly beef, on climate change, land use, and the efficiency of our food system, it is clear that the environment loses. In fact, I could only scratch the surface here, and I recommend doing more reading about eating meat and the environment. Either way, whether you are concerned about the environment, your health, or ethics, reducing meat consumption can only make things better. Reply to Audrey at thenews@bgnews.com
Podcast killed the radio star “Video Killed the Radio Star” is a song performed by the Buggles and often taken as fact by the public. However, now with the Internet in our midst people have decided that radio won’t have a place in our cars or our homes forever. So are radio shows and dramas a dying breed? I’d argue that no, they aren’t. They’ve just taken a new form like a lot of our media content, and that new form happens to be podcasts. Podcast is kind of a broad term, and have been described to me as “just talking about whatever you want,” which is true, in a way. Podcasts have taken all sorts of forms since their debuts in the 1980’s as “audioblogging.” There are tons of informational podcasts telling you things you never learned in high school (Stuff You Missed in History), or the historical context behind paranormal creatures (Lore), or true crime (Serial) or about stuff you never think about (99% Invisible). They’re a great and interesting way to learn about anything you could possibly be interested in.
Meredith Siegel Columnist But along with non-fiction podcasts, fiction podcasts exist, too. While some podcasts take a traditional “radio-drama” feel, others twist the the format into something new. There are space opera podcasts (Wolf 359) stories about paranormal investigations (the Black Tapes), or an Arrival type one season podcast about decoding an alien message called“The Message”. Podcasts like “The Penumbra” and “Welcome to Nightvale” manage to be much more diverse and inclusive than most of the mainstream sources of media. Shows like these also feature music and run social media accounts, making them multimedia platforms as well.
Podcasts exist for entertainment as much as any other media and, like sitcoms, podcasts exist entirely for humor. The guys behind “The Worst Idea Ever” watch a terrible movie every week for a year, then they pick a new one. The McElroy Brothers host an “advice” podcast called “My Brother, My Brother, and Me,” where they answer Yahoo Questions inquiries. Radio may not be on the up-and-up but podcasts definitely are. For a seemingly outdated source of media, “just talking about whatever” have really been making a great comeback. They inform, entertain and innovate, and that’s the ideal of what media should do. They’re available on iTunes or Spotify or on their personal websites, making them easily accessible. It’s a shame they haven’t gained more traction faster, since they are so convenient and interesting. Reply to Meredith at thenews@bgnews.com

Alliance Church Impacts and Serves The Community & World Through Sharing The Good News Of Jesus Christ
B
owling Green Alliance Church is an intergenerational, international family of Christ followers that exist to exalt Jesus Christ by sharing His good news, serving others and impacting the community and world. Alliance Church is filled with a diverse population. No matter what age, gender or nationality you are, you will feel at home at Alliance. There are specialized worship groups for men, women, young adults, and youth. They invite you to join them in worship and guarantee that you will feel at home. Alliance founder Dr. A. B. Simpson voiced the core “theology” of the C&MA (The spiritual Code of The Alliance) many years ago. He called it the Fourfold Gospel, and it’s all about Jesus—our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King. The Alliance is a light-bearing, Jesus-centered missions and churchplanting movement with a deeper life at its heart. Rather than just a church looking to build its own kingdom, the people of Alliance “go.”
Central Objectives of The Alliance: • Passionate Worship • Authentic Relationships • Sacrificial Service • Transformational Lifestyles • Missional Worldview
The Alliance believes that God’s instrument to complete this mission is His church. That’s why they focus their efforts and resources into developing dynamic, healthy, local churches in the United States and across the world. To accomplish the vision, The Alliance develops healthy people (fully devoted followers of Christ), who will build these churches serving as ministry centers to successfully win the lost. Out of these ministry centers, Alliance churches will flow international workers committed to pushing back the darkness in areas
where unengaged, unreached people groups are. Bowling Green Alliance Church has many opportunities for service in various ministries, some through their church and some through partnerships in the Bowling Green community. If you like to get involved and help others in need, Alliance is the place for you. There are various local, National, and International ministries, summer camp and ministries geared towards children. Awana, a children’s ministry, takes place every Wed (Sept.-April) from 6:30 -8:00 pm. Join The Alliance of Bowling Green for fellowship at 9:30 a.m. on Sundays followed by worship at 10 a.m. They are located at 1160 Napoleon Rd. and invite all to be a part of such a great church family. “Anyone who is looking for a church that preaches the gospel according to the Word of God would find the Bowling Green Alliance Church to their liking,” said Ken Gerig, member. n

Editor shares advice for the New Year By Holly Shively Editor-In-Chief Only one thing stands between you and your New Year’s resolution—giving up. According to Statistic Brain, only about 9.2 percent of people say they are actually successful in their resolutions. New Year’s resolutions are hard for a reason. A lot of times the changes you want to make to your life are the ones you’ve tried and failed at over and over again. These are the habits, choices or actions that have been straight up bugging and disappointing you in the long-term, and it’s not easy to just cut them. New Year’s resolutions really set us up for failure from the beginning. We try, try and try again to correct our wrongs or improve our lifestyles, and fail, fail and fail again is what we do. The real problem isn’t failing. It’s giving up on
failing. Think about what you’re doing for your resolution this year. Are you still going strong? Are you still going at all? Has it fizzled out? After the first week, only about 72 percent of resolutions are still being worked on, and by the end of one month, that drops to 58 percent. As a society we like to tell our friends and family to never give up. We tell them that they can do anything they can set their mind to. In all honesty, we have no idea what they’re capable of. Only they know what they can do. Only we know what we can do. Lucky for us, our New Year’s resolutions are our own, and we wouldn’t make them if they weren’t attainable. If we encourage our loved ones to keep trying and stay strong, why don’t we do the same for ourselves?

Hockey faces Minnesota State By Zane Miller Assistant Sports Editor The Falcons hockey team will play against the Minnesota State Mavericks on the road on Friday and Saturday night in the first meeting between the two teams since Minnesota State eliminated the Falcons from the playoffs last season. “I’m looking for a team that plays the game really fast,” Falcons head coach Chris Bergeron said. “They’re a team that has a bunch of skill and they’re good on the power play, they’ve got some defensemen that we think we know pretty well. I think it’s as complete of a team as there is in our league. The one thing that seems to be a little bit of a question is who their goalie is, the last couple of years there’s been a guy and this year there seems to be a couple of guys.” The team is also looking for Minnesota State to be engaged to start the game as well, as the teams have played each other often over the past few seasons and are
close in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Standings. “With where we are right now and the way this year has gone, we’re tied with them for third… so it’s a big series,” Bergeron said. “This rivalry has been created with them, we’ve played them in the Final Five, we’ve played them in the regular season. We know this is a team that’s going to be ready for us. It looks on paper like their year’s been a little bit up and down as well.” Although the team does not feel their 2-1 loss to Minnesota State in the WCHA Final Five will provide extra motivation, they are still looking to use their situation this season to their advantage. “I think our guys need to be engaged because we’re running out of games in the 16-17 year and it’s our next opportunity to play games and we’re playing a team that’s really good,” Bergeron said. “If they use last year as some fuel to get themselves up for this series, we’ll take it.” The team is also trying to focus on this
series alone as an opportunity to get a home ice advantage in the playoffs, as well as leave their past results in the past. “I hope our mindset is that we need to go and give ourselves two really good opportunities to win games,” Bergeron said. “Meaning that the process is right, meaning that everybody’s engaged, both mentally and physically. There’s really no other mindset at this point, we have to leave the standings and the results at the door and let our process and let our intensity and our engagement take care of the results.” The team feels that they do have a very good chance against Minnesota State as long as they are able to have the right mindset going in. “I do believe that this is going to be a very difficult series,” Bergeron said. “Our guys need to make sure we’re ready for that. Just in terms of our mindset going in, we’re a team that can compete with anybody, anywhere, if we’re doing thing the way we’re capable of doing them to the level that we’ve set for ourselves.”

Womens Basketball falls against WMU By Elias Faneuff Sports Reporter A great shooting display by Western Michigan was too much to overcome for the BGSU women’s basketball as the team fell on the road by a score of 75-58 on Wednesday night. The team is now 0-2 in Mid-American Conference play. Freshmen guard Andrea Cecil was the only player to score in double digits with 13 points. Junior guard Rachel Myers also managed to score eight points for the Falcons. The starting lineup combined for just 24 points on the day. “It was a struggle throughout most of the game,” said BGSU head coach Jennifer Roos. “They had a hot shooting start and we kept digging ourselves in a hole with many turnovers and missed a lot open shots. We
gave up many easy baskets I felt that we could’ve been better, but give full credit to Western Michigan they’re a talented team. Western Michigan started out 6-for-6 shooting the ball in the first four minutes of the game as they held a commanding 12-3 lead over BG. Turnovers and blocked shots haunted the Falcons as they were unable to get easy baskets when driving to the lane. BG managed to score only eight points the rest of the way and Western Michigan lead 19-11 after the first. In the second quarter, Western Michigan would go on an 8-2 run as they would constantly give easy layups and uncontested jumpers. Junior guard Haley Puk would try to cut the deficit into single digits following a driving layup and a three point shot. The Broncos still led 27-16 with five minutes left in
the second quarter. Western Michigan would keep on pressuring the Falcon’s defense with their aggressive play as they were able to get easy layups in transitions and got to the free throw line quite often in the second quarter. Western Michigan would go into the half with a 39-24 lead over BG. Western Michigan shot 50 percent in field goals in the first half while BG would only manage to shoot 26.7 percent in the first half. In the third quarter, Western Michigan would get off to another successful start by going on a 10-3 run in the first four minutes of the game only increasing their lead by a score of 49-27. BG would try to get back in the game with baskets of their own, but the Broncos kept responding as they were able to withstand their big lead by a score of 59-38 after the end of the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, The Falcons would try to get back in the game by getting early baskets from freshmen guards Andrea Cecil and Caterrion Thompson. However, Western Michigan would get their lead up to as many as 28 points by leading 72-44 with six minutes left to go. Coach Roos would empty out the bench in the final minutes of play as BG would take another loss on the road. “We’ve got work to do and I feel that there’s a lot of time to get this season turned around and that starts with our three-game home stand coming up,” Roos said. “I’m confident that the players will regroup and be ready to roll on Saturday.” BGSU will look to bounce back at home against the Central Michigan Chippewas on Saturday afternoon with tipoff beginning at 2:30 p.m.

MLK Day of Service at BGSU
Sarah Smith Forum Editor While students may have the day off in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Jan. 16, for those in search of something to do on the holiday, the city of Bowling Green and the University offers a variety of options. Bowling Green State University holds an annual Day of Service each year to encourage students to make it “a day on, not a day off.” Over 800 volunteers and 45 community partners will be participating in a ceremony, as well as traveling to project sites to complete various tasks throughout the community. This event will last all day and will include workers from a variety of organizations to individual volunteers. Megan Bingaman, president of BGSU’s Feed My Starving Children organization, says that after participating last year, they found the experience very rewarding. Being a non-profit, student-run organization, in addition to volunteering at events such as
this, Feed My Starving Children is involved in service throughout the year and hosts a yearly MobilePack, where the BGSU community packs 100,000 meals to send to different countries in need around the world. “Our organization really values service, so we try to get involved with other service activities on and off campus, such as the MLK Jr. Day of Service,” said Bingaman. After participating in the “day on, not day off,” Jan. 16, Feed My Starving Children will continue their good works and encourages those with service values to also come and volunteer at their MobilePack this semester. While registration is currently closed 2017 MLK Jr. Day of Service on campus, the University website offers a look at past projects, including a video, a schedule of events and a full list of those individuals and groups registered this year. In addition to the events held on campus, Grounds for Thought will be hosting Brown Bag Food Project’s 8th annual MLK Day of
Service Food “Can”vas. This event will collect food and other various items in need and will be held Saturday, Jan. 14, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, Jan. 15, 12-4 p.m. “Our group took over this event last year. We are currently rounding up volunteers to go door-to-door on Saturday and Sunday. We are looking for volunteers to sign up for a two hour shift on either day” said Amy Jeffers, vice president. At Grounds for Thought, as the donations arrive, they will sort through and organize the food donations. This will occur on both Saturday and Sunday. “It is a wonderful event that brings together various community members that are interested in helping those in need,” Jeffers said. To get involved with this event, reach Brown Bag on their Facebook page and sign up for a shift at the event, or contact brownbagfoodproject@gmail.com for additional information.

Most of the concerts are solo performances by faculty; however, there can be collaborations between vocalists and instrumentalists or between different instrumentalists. “It’s an opportunity for the students and members of the community to go to really wonderful concerts,” said Robert Satterlee, a professor of piano and director of graduate studies in the College of Music.

or sleep until 9 a.m. we’ve failed. When we do it two or three more times we’ve really messed up and there’s no going back. All of that is wrong. Small failures don’t mean an overall failure. Remember next time you want to really give up because you just keep failing your New Year’s resolution, it’s a New Year’s Resolution for a reason. You have the whole year to reach your goal. Don’t think you have to have it made by January 30. Stay strong, friends.
Another thing we like to do as a society is think failing once means we should give up. And if we make it past that failure to fail two or three more times that surely means we can’t do it right? Wrong. We tend to think resolutions mean cutting things cold turkey. No more cigarettes. No more junk food, only chicken, rice and lettuce for me. Can’t sleep past 8 a.m. ever. Then when we smoke one, eat a donut
