By Danae KingEditor-in-Chief

victims of domestic violence in Wood county will no longer be able to go to main Street in Bowling Green and pick up supplies or get a rent check.

instead, they’ll have to meet someone from alicia’s voice in town or in Perrysburg for assistance.

the non-profit organization, which works to raise awareness about domestic violence and provide resources to victims, has been at 344 S. main St. for three years.

Rather than pay $5,400 for a year’s rent on the organization’s building, the board members decided to use it to help victims of domestic violence, said Kathy newlove, founder and education chairperson.

“it’s not changing anything,” newlove said. “[Women] can still get a hold of us the same way they have been.”

once the lease is up, the organization will still exist, but its supplies will be stored in the basement of the Perrysburg municipal court, where one of the board members works.

the organization was considering giving up its headquarters last year, but when word got out, the community offered support to keep it in Bowling Green for another year, newlove said.

newlove said the organization had the money to stay open this year,

Administration, faculty reach

resolution over cuts

By Eric LagattaCampus Editor

university officials and the Faculty association may have clashed in the wake of 40 faculty cuts this past semester, but recently they’ve been able to come together to reach some sort of consensus.

this week, both parties announced a resolution resolving disputes about the faculty cuts the administra-tion announced in november. the agreement addresses the 30 non-tenure track faculty on one-year contracts who were notified their contracts would not be renewed, as well as the 10 faculty members on terminal contracts.

“We agreed that we need to move forward together,” said Bill Balzer, vice president for Faculty affairs and Strategic initiatives. “We’re happy we’ve been able to reach this agreement.”

Part of the agreement provides severance pay to 18 individuals with four or more years at the university.

individual severance pay is between $8,680 and $26,410 at a rate of one month per every two years of ser-vice, Balzer said. the amount is based on years with the university and salary.

ice sculpting demonstrations and live music are a few of the events students can check out at Winterfest this weekend.

Some of the most exciting parts are the ice sculp-tures and the carriage rides, said Wendy Stram, a co-chair of the Winterfest planning committee.

“We have a lot of tried and true events,” Stram said.there are also new events, like the Snowflakes on

Artists to display work in downtown windows

By Marissa StambolReporter

During the month of February, local artists will display their work in the shop windows of downtown as a part of the exhibition Snowflakes on Display.

this is the first year for the exhi-bition, which will be a feature of the BG arts council’s annual Winterfest, said Jamie Sands, event coordinator.

Snowflakes on Display is a free event for both artists and guests and gives the public a look into the talents Bowling Green artists have to offer.

there will be an indoor por-tion of the exhibit at myles Baker Street during Winterfest, Feb. 14-16, while the storefront displays can be seen throughout the whole month, Sands said.

the largest displays will be in the windows of the Library, Serenity Salon and Spa, main Street Photo, main Street antiques and aardvark Printing, she said.

“Bowling Green [has] a lot of very talented artists and it’s always a great thing to be able to high-light their talents and their efforts especially when it’s ... all throughout downtown,“ Sands said.

Sands said this is a great way to

expose people to art. “Whether people are thinking

that they are going out to see art or not, they are going to see it,” Sands said. “i think that’s a really great thing when people are exposed to art either purposefully or randomly; we are all the better for it.”

Senior chelsea maurer, assistant coordinator of the event, likes that the theme of the event is snow-flakes, which she hopes artists will have fun with.

“i am excited to see what people do with the theme,” maurer said. “Snow can be interpreted in many

$300,000 in severance, said University Spokesperson Dave Kielmeyer.

Sansanee Longbrake, instructor in the School of Teaching and Learning, said the severance pay many fac-ulty will receive is “the least the University could do,” but it’s not the best option for faculty no longer employed.

“Severance or not, it’s not a job,” Longbrake said. “That’s only a certain amount of money that doesn’t guaran-tee us anything.”

Longbrake is one of the 30 non-tenure-track fac-ulty members who will not return in fall.

Longbrake has been at the University for nine years, which made it unexpected for her to find out her time at the University is coming to a close. To her, it doesn’t make sense.

“One word I can use to sum it up is ‘disappoint-ment,’” Longbrake said. “It was out of left field. It’s just upsetting.”

The resolution also reap-points five individuals on terminal contracts for next academic year. This was the result of these faculty members filing successful seniority challenges to their non-reappointment.

But while five of them will return, an additional five non-tenure-track faculty with one to three years of service will be cut as a way to “offset” the returning ter-minal faculty, Balzer said.

Those notifications will be made by April 1, as stip-ulated in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Another two individuals who were originally cut will return next year to jobs that opened at the University and Firelands in November.

“We’ve done the best that we can to make the best of a bad situation,” said Faculty Association President David Jackson, an associ-ate professor in the Political Science Department. “We’re optimistic that we can continue in the spirit of cooperation.”

That cooperation will include both parties con-tinuing to focus on recruit-ing and retaining students, particularly during the President’s Day event on Monday.

“Faculty have always worked hard to recruit and maintain students,” Jackson said. “We’re more than happy to encourage faculty to keep up the good work.” Both parties avoid grievance, opt for informal resolution

After the administra-tion announced the faculty non-renewals in November, a legal team went to work to see if the action was in compliance with the CBA.

The Faculty Association determined there was a class action grievance violation to the contract, said Jim Evans, Faculty Association contract and grievance officer.

“That’s a very large num-ber for one such situation,” Evans said, referring to 40 faculty getting cut at once. “To get such a large group all at once was something that called attention to itself.”

The initial step of the new grievance procedure is to attempt an informal resolu-tion of the disagreement.

“We realized we could work together to come to some mutually accept-able solution,” said Evans, professor in the Geology Department. “We kept pur-suing through some ups and downs.”

Balzer also said it was a positive sign that the two parties could find common ground without resorting to the arduous grievance process, which could have left all sides unsatisfied, he said.

“We started seeing there might be some opportuni-ty for more conversation,” Balzer said.

While an agreement was reached, Evans and Jackson were not completely satis-fied, as the same number of faculty will ultimately still lose their jobs.

“It’s not like we’re thrilled to death this happened because we’re sad for this loss,” Evans said.

The resolution also requires that both sides consult one another prior to future similar actions “so that we’re not continually blind-sided,” Jackson said.

As for Longbrake, she will begin looking for another job either teaching or coun-seling, but she said she will not be looking for one at the University.

“I don’t know if it’s in my

best interest,” she said.After Longbrake has

spent the past nine years at the University, she has developed connections with her students and col-leagues.

“I look back and abso-lutely I have very fond memories of working here,” Longbrake said.

One of her main roles at the University was to coor-dinate and teach the larg-est class for the education program, the intro class. The course enrolls about 300 students a semester.

“It’s really one of the best courses you can teach,” Longbrake said. “It’s a little sad to think I won’t have that opportunity any-more.”

different ways and I know we will see a lot of interesting pieces,” she said.

Artists are allowed to cre-ate their piece in any medium, excluding moving pieces such as video.

Maurer said artists are doing 3-D works, paintings and one work will be done using broken glass.

Becky Laabs, owner of Art-A-Site, has her own win-ter-themed window display set up.

“We are going to have sam-

ples of art [from the store] with a winter theme,” she said.

Art-A-Site will be display-ing winter themed paint-ings, snowflake jewelry and hand crocheted stocking caps because they are “practical items for winter,” Laabs said.

As the owner of a store that sells art from local artists year round, Laabs said she likes that so many artists will be drawn to the area.

“I think it’s a great idea and I look forward to seeing all of the other windows,” she said.

QUICK FACTS ABOUT THE RESOLUTION • Five faculty members on one-year terminal contracts will retain their jobs through seniority.

• This means five additional non-tenure-track faculty will be cut to offset. Those will be announced April 1.

• Two non-tenure track fac-ulty who were originally cut will be reappointed to another job at the University that opened in November.

• All cut faculty will receive a benefits package.

• 18 faculty with four or more years of service will receive severance pay between $8,680 or $26,410. The amount is based on years with the University and salary.

• The University will pay out a total of approximately $300,000 in severance.

Other events include live music, the Frostbite Fun Run, a dodgeball tourna-ment, a chili and soup cook-off and a pancake break-fast benefitting the Bowling Green High School girls’ softball team.

Students can participate without leaving campus by going to the public skate at the Ice Arena.

However, Barbara Ruland, director of Downtown BG, said Winterfest is a chance for the downtown area to showcase what it has to offer.

“Anything that brings people downtown that may not have been here before is good,” Ruland said.

Ruland said once peo-ple see what the down-town area has to offer, they usually come back. Businesses try to take advantage of this.

“People look for ways the event fits their business,” Ruland said.

For some restaurants, this is by participating in the Sandwich Stroll hosted by the Bowling Green Arts Council.

“They each have chosen a sandwich they want to feature,” said Beth Jensen, a Winterfest planning com-

mittee representative from the BGAC.

For $10, attendees will get five tickets allow-ing them to get a “gener-ous portion” of whichever sandwiches are featured at the restaurants they go to, Jensen said.

There are 10 restaurants to choose from.

The event, new to Winterfest last year, is a fundraiser for the BGAC.

“It was a great bargain,” said Ruland, who partici-pated this past year. “You can eat for two days on your $10.”

Stram said the first Winterfest was created in 2009 “surrounding the fact

that it was the 25th anni-versary of Scott Hamilton’s gold medal.”

Hamilton grew up in Bowling Green and attend-ed the University. He won a gold medal in figure skating at the 1984 Winter Olympics.

Winterfest is also meant to be a cure for the winter doldrums, Ruland said.

Winterfest will be Feb. 14-16.

“Not too many places do a three day event,” Stram said.

Stram said that with all the events and activities available, “[there’s] no excuse not to get out of the house.”

After Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent crackdown on homosexual “propaganda” and the start of the Olympics in Sochi on Feb. 7 there has been an influx of LGBTQ commentary in the media.

Though most frequently coverage has been focused on reactions and protests against Putin’s agenda, the newest commentary on gay rights for Americans has been much closer to home.

Disney has recently introduced the company’s first gay couple onto the children’s television show, “Good Luck, Charlie.” The two moms, Cheryl and Susan, were first introduced to the show on Jan. 26 when they made an appearance while bringing their daughter Taylor over for a play date with the show’s main character Charlie.

Though the appearance was quick and the over-all plot line was focused around Charlie’s older sister Teddy and her preparations for college, many conservative groups have already spoken out against the episode.

One Million Moms, a conservative group mainly for mothers, strives to “protest the attempt to desensitize America and push filth into our liv-ing rooms.” The group condemned the episode, launching an email campaign urging care.com to stop sponsoring the Disney Channel. One Million Moms has had luck with this strategy in the past urging sponsors to pull funding for shows such as NBC’s “Save Me” and ABC’s “666 Park Avenue” consequently playing part in the shows’ eventual cancelations.

Director of Service Learning Jane Rosser, who has been involved in several LGBT service groups such as an LGBT support group, has a different view on the matter. Rosser said the media has a large part to play for young children growing up in a largely diversified country and that the ability of children to see their families and personalities represented in the media is imperative.

“I would applaud Disney,” Rosser said. “I don’t think that everything is perfect about Disney, but they are responding to the community they serve. Media has begun to embrace showing the LGBT community and certain kinds of families. Individuals who don’t want their children to watch that show, control the TV remote.”

While some are shocked or horrified at Disney’s actions, others are more supportive. Freshman and public health major Sarah Borovicka said she didn’t think the couple’s introduction should be such a big deal.

“A lot of people in my family are gay or bisexual so I guess I’m just used to it,” Borovicka said.

Though the choice to debut the couple is con-troversial, the decision has also garnered sup-port from people of all standings. Miley Cyrus

“THE LEgo moviE”

Movie | Grade: A

MEDIA reviews

By Seth WeberWeb Editor

I must preface this review by saying I was obsessed with Lego as a child; Lego is an essential part of my being.

I had thousands upon thou-sands of Lego bricks and obses-sively watched stop-motion ani-mation videos using Lego online. I’ve waited for a Hollywood Lego film for years and now that it’s out, I can confidently say it does not disappoint.

“The Lego Movie” could have been a cynical cash-in; a 90-min-ute commercial. However, it’s obvious the creators put a lot of work and love into this film that brings it to life.

The animation in this film is jaw-dropping. Somewhat disap-pointingly, it isn’t stop motion, but one couldn’t tell at a glance.

The animation does a wonder-

ful job of capturing the spirit of stop-motion videos that have come before it and truly makes it feel like Lego came to life.

Every frame is full of life and action, which makes it impos-sible to catch everything in one viewing.

Great writing supports the animation, bringing fun jokes and characters. “The Lego Movie” is thoroughly goofy and is sure to make the most cynical crack a smile.

The cast is great and is made up of actors including Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman and Will Arnett.

The film pulls from count-less intellectual properties such as “Star Wars” and “DC.” Will Arnett’s portrayal at Batman is great and pokes a lot of fun at his gruff, serious character in the

Computer software business creates mobile apps for organizations

Agile software factory provides students with professional experience

By Geoff BurnsPulse Editor

After six years as a business, the Agile Software Factory continues to not only help the community and the University, but also help students gain professional experi-ence in their field of work.

Associate professor in the department of Computer Science Joe Chao started the business in 2008 and has made apps such as Campus Maps and Campus Calendar to name a few for the University as well as a disability app to help those with brain dis-orders to get things done in a day.

The company also creates apps for other professors and has even made a company app for the Cocoon Shelter, Behavioral Connections of Wood County and the Office of Service-Learning. Chao said the business started as a class project that grew kept growing.

“I have five student employees and they get paid to do something they like,” Chao said. “It’s been

really successful and is a great hands-on learning experience.”

The Agile Software Factory offers part-time employment, joining students in software development classes to create programs and prepares students for further education in the field.

Junior Andrew Horner started working for Chao in 2012 and said he gets to do what he wants with the job, which is software development.

“I was really excited because this was my first job related to computer science,” Horner said. “It gives me experience that I can relate to my classwork and some-thing I can put on my resume.”

Although the business gives

students professional experience in the field, it is competitive for someone to land a position for Chao. There are many people who apply for the position but only five are hired because of costs to keep the Agile Software Factory going.

Senior Chris Bailey originally worked at Wal-Mart until hired by Chao. He said he finally got the chance to earn money doing something useful.

“It’s really the first person that Dr. Chao finds that is qualified to work there,” Bailey said. “He’s been in the market and now he’s a professor so he knows how the software development works and he can pass on the knowledge we need.”

Chao is in the process of trying to get the Agile Software Factory to grow and to “find a way to make it a business and not a hobby.” Chao has had job recruiters visit the University to search for stu-dents who could possible work for them one day.

“With experience from my class, they can fit right in,” Chao said.

People who do not believe math and physics can be fun astound me.

A few years back, I was watching an old western movie with my brother. Just about every character was being thrown through saloon windows at a disturb-ing rate; however, this seems surprisingly common for this genre.

Suddenly, my brother announced that if he had to go back in time, he would choose to go to the “wild west” and be a window maker because he would seemingly have a never-ending demand for saloon windows.

Being forced to answer the same question, I would certainly go to ancient Rome and be a military engineer. A thousand years after Rome, Leonardo DaVinci would take the same profession and if it is good enough for him, it is good enough for me.

Among my works, I would beat Charles Darwin to the punch, introduce linear per-spective, and “invent” the trebuchet.

Implementation is the point that math and physics get fun.

For those who do not know, a trebuchet is a pow-erful siege weapon designed to raze any structure to the ground. It operates using a

simple lever on a fulcrum in a similar fashion as a see-saw. A heavy counterweight produces tremendous veloc-ity and a heavy projectile is slung great distances.

The applications for a trebuchet in the Roman world would be somewhat limited based upon the relative absence of large fortifications on scale with medieval Europe; however, applications would not be non-existent.

For an example of how a trebuchet works, let’s say a group wanted to attempt to lay siege, to pick an arbitrary location, on McFall, Mo. This is how they would do it:

After collecting the nec-essary resources, they would set out to build the ideal trebuchet. An elevated fulcrum is driven through a long beam. The counter-weight portion consists of a heavy weight of roughly 100 times the weight of the projectile while the oppos-ing end of the fulcrum is between three and 3.75 times longer than the coun-terweight portion.

A sturdy frame is required to combat mounting centrif-ugal forces which would tear the trebuchet apart. A pro-ductive fulcrum for a large trebuchet would be eight feet in the air and the beam’s support would be perpen-dicular to the base. An eight foot base would create right triangles with sides of eight and four feet long.

A necessary support would need to be included at 45 degree angles. With side

A being eight feet and side B being four, the hypotenuse of the triangle, the support beam, would need to be just under nine feet.

The counterweight is man-ually raised in the air, upon the fulcrum, to create poten-tial energy. Upon the releas-ing of a trigger, gravity pulls the counterweight down and pivots the long arm, with the projectile held within a sling, in to the air. A pin keeps the sling from releasing until a desired degree of release is achieved— with 45 degrees generally being considered an optimum degree.

With a sling properly attached to the long arm of the lever, an arm totaling in length of about 20 feet, a sufficient counterweight and assuming a lack of any non-restrictive weather conditions, this trebuchet would be capable of firing an 8-14 pound bowling ball over 300 feet in a parabol-ic arc. This is sufficient to cover the distance from the Student Union to McFall, Missouri’s namesake build-ing— McFall Hall.

Neither I nor the University’s administration, housed in McFall Hall, can condone using a trebuchet to raze either of these locations. I merely wish to demonstrate what is possible and that math, physics and history can work together to create something that is a lot of fun.

On your right are rows of two and three-story apart-ments and condos, some more than 100 years old. On your left, more rows of small businesses, condos and apartments of the same vin-tage adjoin one other.

You also notice a parking lot on your left, surround-ed by a high wrought-iron fence, adjoining a modern nursing home. All along the street, the structures in good repair, the grass cut and trees trimmed.

Pause and try to picture this spot 85 years ago today.

On that cold and snowy Thursday morning at around 10:30, two men wearing Chicago police uni-forms emerged from a 1927 Cadillac police sedan and entered the building that once occupied the site of today’s parking lot.

Two other men in civilian clothes remained in the car.

The building at 2122 North Clark St. bore the name “S-M-C Cartage Co.”

A front window, topped by a small awning, had been painted black on the inside. Upon entering, the police-men found seven men in the garage area and ordered them against the wall, palms

on the bricks and their backs facing the officers. Presently, the two other men in top-coats entered the garage from the car. Unbuttoning their overcoats, each produced a Thompson

machine gun.What followed was pure

slaughter. It became known as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.

Prior to Feb. 14, 1929, gangland killings on Chicago streets were hardly novel. But public revulsion against gangland killings began building after the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. The pendulum of pub-lic opinion had begun to change course.

The turn of public opin-ion is not new. We’ve seen this phenomenon on many occasions.

Prohibition itself began in the Midwest and garnered enough public support to enable ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Thirteen years later, partly due to the lawlessness that Prohibition had spawned, as well as the impact of the Great Depression, it was repealed. Some of its most vocal sup-porters had become its most vigorous critics.

The pendulum had swung back.

Not so long ago, drunken driving was regarded as tol-erable so long as one wasn’t caught or caused an acci-dent. Smoking in buildings was regarded as generally acceptable. Public opinion has since radically shifted

regarding both behaviors; the pendulum has dramatically changed course.

Renewable energy was all the rage, especially in Europe.

But with the high ener-gy prices that renewable energy commands [some German energy prices from renewable sources have tri-pled], rethinking the entire renewable energy model has begun to occur. The pen-dulum has begun to swing back to a more economical approach toward the cost and use of energy.

The Catholic Church has been regarded by some as authoritarian and rigid, pos-sibly due to the perception of the personalities of some popes. Pope Francis has altered this view somewhat, due to his engaging person-ality and his concern for the poor. Although Church doc-trine won’t change, Francis’ personality has caused the pendulum of opinion to reverse course somewhat.

Thomas Jefferson is report-ed to have stated, “In matters of principle, stand like a rock. In matters of style, swim with the current.”

The change in public opin-ion is, in many cases not only healthy, but also necessary. Equal attention needs to be paid to both standing firm for principles and knowing when the shift of public opinion is occurring. On many issues, the pendulum will reverse yet again.

When I examine the dis-course surrounding our involvement in foreign conflicts, I’m often left wondering when people really stopped thinking for themselves.

I wrote about this topic to a point last year when I talked about the idolatry of the military in our society and at the time, I secretly feared that I had gone too far in writing what I wrote. But I fear I didn’t go far enough.

The following statement will offend many readers; an offense that is regret-table, but one for which I refuse to apologize: I do

not support the troops. This does not mean I

wish them ill, this does not mean I am not in favor of helping them in any way we can once they return and this certainly doesn’t mean I don’t sympa-thize with the loved ones of fallen soldiers, but my conscience as the citizen of a supposedly freedom-loving nation can no lon-ger abide by the conflict in which they are taking part.

While I do not resent any singular soldiers or members of the military, supporting them in their every endeavor, no matter how flagrantly justified or unjustified becomes a lit-mus test for every American citizen when they are asked “Do you support the troops?” Answering “No” in our society seems tan-tamount to treason these days, but I’m willing to bet I’m far from the only one who feels this way.

Many say, “I support the troops, but I don’t support the war.”

While this is an admi-rable and certainly well-meaning distinction, I think it is ultimately a mis-guided one. How can we support the troops if we don’t support what they’re doing? How can we call every single soldier a hero

when some of them end up committing war crimes? This does not make their choice more or less admi-rable than any other, but I refuse to be made to feel guilty for not supporting them in an unjust war that I did not ask them to fight.

My point is this: The mil-itary has been an all-vol-unteer force for some time now and not since Vietnam have young Americans been forced to either go fight a war they may not believe in or duck the draft and be called a coward and a traitor. I understand that many of that era, including the veterans in my family felt they had no choice in the matter, but today this is not the case.

We all have choices in life, and no one forced these young men and women to take up arms,

nor were they coerced; they did so of their own volition. I’ve heard many people contend that they’re defending our free-doms. I also think this is untrue. How do the deaths of young Americans in the Middle East make you and me freer? If anything, the threat of terrorism has led many Americans to turn a blind eye to constitutional blights such as the Patriot Act and the continued use of Guantanamo Bay — a threat whose members are all the more enraged and emboldened by our con-tinued presence in their countries. In other words, the war they are fight-ing to protects our free-doms, yet the threat of the enemy they are fighting is used to justify taking our freedoms and civil liber-ties away? This is a blatant

paradox.We the people must not

support the troops or the government in any unjus-tified conflicts, for if we do, we are consenting to the oppression of other people as well as resign-ing ourselves to the herd conformity of nationalism. Next time you see military members lauded at sport-ing events or in commer-cials, think what you are really supporting by say-ing “I support the troops,” because if the powers that be see that we will support any war, what then will stop them from doing as they wish if we the people are too scared or ashamed to voice dissent?

Eight out of 10 terms on Urban Dictionary are “explicitly sexual,” Miller said. She also warned that the mass amounts of vul-garity may be stopping people with more tradi-tional values from using the website.

“Eighty percent of people who use Urban Dictionary are 25 or younger and it’s too bad,”

Miller said. “It’s an excel-lent tool for keeping up with rapidly evolving slang; the more we use it, the less it’ll tip into the lude, off-color stuff.”

There wil l a lmost always be a gap in com-munication between new and old generations, as older generations have their own slang terms. However, Miller said tools like Urban Dictionary can help bridge the gap.

“It furthers communi-cation of a very spontane-ous, modern, casual sort,” she said.

“I didn’t even know what it was until about two years ago,” Lyner said. “But it was funny and interesting and now everybody knows what it is.”

Sophomore Stefanie Ward is also a frequent user and uses the website for laughs and informa-tion on what she hears around her.

“If I hear someone say a phrase or word that I don’t know, I use [Urban Dict iona r y] to avoid awk wa rd quest ions,” Ward said.

There are many words

that can be found on the website.

“These words and phrases are in common place and there are a lot of them,” Lyner said. “Urban Dictionary puts a label on the confusion.”

Urba n Dict iona r y has been around for 14 years, a longer stay on the Internet than power-house, Facebook, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. But will Urban Dictionary weather the sands of time? Miller thinks it will.

expressed her approval of Disney’s decision on Twitter saying, “I com-mend Disney for making this step into the light of this generation.”

Cyrus has been very involved with the Disney Channel in the past when playing the character of a country superstar named Hannah Montana on the network from 2006 to 2011.

“Good Luck, Charlie” has been airing on Disney since 2010 and is currently in its fourth and final sea-son. Though the same-sex couple Cheryl and Susan will most likely not be making another appear-ance before the series finale, this is still a very big step for Disney, which has never before intro-duced a gay couple onto any of their programs.

This decision is very influ-ential coming from one of the biggest companies worldwide which, accord-ing to “Forbes Magazine,” employs an estimated 166,000 people and earns just under $43 billion year-ly.

Sociolog y Professor Wendy Manning who has done research on the LGBT community said Disney’s decision to put this in the show serves as an important element of today’s culture.

“It is a reality of the landscape of American families which are not nor-mally portrayed in popu-lar media,” Manning said. “[It] reflects the changing nature and diversity of the U.S.”

American’s may con-tinue to see this nature changing if Disney decides to integrate more charac-ters of all sexualities into their programming.

The BG hockey team will face the Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves this weekend in an important WCHA road series.

The two teams are tied for fourth place in the WCHA and for the final home playoff berth.

“I believe our guys under-stand the implications of the series and the last six games in the league,” BG head coach Chris Bergeron said. “We’ve responded in situations like

this in the past. There’s no rea-son to believe we won’t respond in this situation.”

The Seawolves wil l a lso play their f inal regular sea-son home games this weekend. This will be the first time the Falcons will play in Anchorage since 1988.

The Falcons hold a 4-0-0 all-time record against UAA. BG skates into this series with a 13-12-5 overall record, and a 10-9-3 WCHA record. Meanwhile their opponent has

a 14-11-3 overall record and also a 10-9-3 WCHA record.

The Falcons will be without defenseman Ralfs Freibergs this weekend. Freibergs is cur-rently in Sochi, Russia compet-ing in the Winter Olympics for Team Latvia. Dan Bylsma, the head coach for the Team USA men’s ice hockey team, is also a former Falcon player.

The BG women’s basketball team will go on the road to Eastern Michigan on Saturday, Feb. 15 near-ly a week after their last game.

BG enters Saturday’s matchup at 20-3 overall and 10-1 in con-ference play.

The Falcons are coming off of a bye week, following their win over Miami last Sunday. Head coach Jennifer Roos said that this bye week “could not have come at a better time.”

“[The day] allows them to rest a little bit, catch up on some home-work and also to have some ach-ing bones and bruises heal up a little bit more, but we were excited this bye week happened when it did,” Roos said.

They will play Eastern Michigan for the second time this season.

Roos said once they reach the point in the conference slate where they start facing teams for the sec-ond time around, the Falcons must add new things here and there. In order to catch familiar oppos-ing teams off guard in the second matchup, the Falcons must incor-porate new plays from time to time customized for each opponent.

Although both teams are already familiarized with one another, Roos said that the second time around has a different feel to it.

“Anytime you play an opponent for the second time around in con-

ference season, it always has a dif-ferent feel to it even though you are familiar with the opponent’s play-ers, their offensive sets and their defensive strategy,” Roos said.

Eastern Michigan enters Saturday’s matchup with a 14-8 overall record and is 4-7 in MAC play. The Eagles have confer-ence wins at home to Kent State and Western Michigan and road wins over Ohio and Kent State. EMU lost at home to Ball State, Akron and Miami and at Northern Illinois, Buffalo, BG and Central Michigan.

The Falcons lead the overall series with Eastern Michigan 49-14. BG has won the last 12 meetings, including a 71-57 win over the Eagles earlier this season on Jan. 23 at the Stroh Center. The teams only faced off one time last season where the Falcons won 61-47 in Ypsilanti.

The Eagles welcomed back five letterwinners, including three start-ers, from the 2012-13 season. Last year’s squad finished 8-22 overall and 6-10 in the MAC.

Eastern Michigan is top 10 in the nation in both turnover margin and in steals. They also rank 30 in the nation in scoring offense, averaging 78.4 points per game

The Falcons will return to the Stroh Center on Wednesday Feb. 19 to face off with conference foe Central Michigan, who handed BG their only conference loss so far this year.

Wednesday night was Bowling Green senior Cameron Black’s final trip home to the M.A.C. Center at Kent State University where he attended his first basketball camps

and grew up watching even people from the Kent coaching staff play. The 6’10” 258-pound center did not let the emotions of this game get the best of him as he had the best game of his career. Black finished with 18

points, nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks. “I just wanted to come out, give my best effort and make everyone

proud,” Black said. “I wanted to play my hardest. Whether I scored or not I just wanted to keep playing.”

No block seemed more important than the block he had on Kent guard Kris Brewer as he attempted the game-tying jumper with four seconds left. Black blocked the shot out of bounds and what came next could only happen in what the Kent players called the “magic” of the M.A.C. Center.

“They drove to the right and I kind of baited Jehvon’s man into a layup and got the block,” Black said. “The last possession was just a lack of communication from the guys on the floor.”

In the huddle, before the inbounds play, Kent coach Rob Senderoff called play C.The play was meant to get the ball to their guard Devareaux Manley. Manley had made four of 11 shots before the play but he knew he would make this shot, he said.

“I knew I was going to make it,” Manley said. “I’m just glad coach called my number and I could respond the right way and make the shot.”

Manley caught the ball in the left corner and with one shot, he ruined what looked to be a homecoming celebration for Black. He nailed the corner three to give the Golden Flashes the 62-61 win.

“It’s tough because we are right there with a chance to win,” Black said. “It’s been like that a lot of games this year, it’s tough.”That one point win was the largest lead for the Golden Flashes the

entire game as they held one-point leads three times throughout the game. The Falcons have stressed starting fast and they did exactly that this game jumping

out to a 13-0 lead. They followed that 13-0 run by turning the ball over four times in the next five possessions, allowing Kent to cut the score to 15-8. Both teams ended the game with 19 turnovers.

“It was a great start, probably one of our best of the year,” Black said. “We just did not stay focused during that stretch to keep that kind of lead.”

They were led by Derek Jackson, who scored 25 points on 8-11 shooting and 5-7 from behind the three point arc.

“We knew he was a capable scorer,” BG head coach Louis Orr said. “He was probably the most deadly of all their guards tonight.”

This makes it two games in a row lost on game-winners for the Falcons. They will look to turn their luck around Saturday when they travel to Muncie, Ind., for a match against Ball State University.

“We have to be resilient, we gotta bounce back,” Orr said. “When you perse-vere and you keep getting up you can grow from it. It is painful when you go through it because we are this close but I’m hoping our guys will draw closer together and keep fighting.”

BG Gymnast does her flip on the balance beam in their home meet against Central Michigan on Feb., 9. They are currently ranked in the top 36 in the country.

Falcons look to improve on barsBy Grant Crawford

Reporter

The BG gymnastics team posted its best score in almost a decade last weekend with a 195.550 against 19th-ranked Central Michigan.

The Falcons will take the stage again in College Park, Md. this weekend to face both Maryland and Yale in a three-team meet.

The Falcons have reached the halfway point of the sea-son with 5-4 overall with a 3-1 record in Mid-American Conference, and a third place standing in the MAC behind Central Michigan and Kent State.

“I tell them if they can go 24 for 24 routines solid that is a 196 for us,” said head coach Kerrie Turner. “They know it so it is trying to get them to put it together more than

once in this last half of the season trying to get several of those scores those high 195’s and 196’s happening so that we can go to the post season.”

The Falcons need to improve on the uneven bars, which they strug-gled with against Central Michigan, resulting in their worst apparatus of the four in the meet.

“I coach bars so I feel really responsible for that being our weaker event of the weekend,” said Turner. “I sat down and made a list for each athlete of some of the areas where I thought they were just not putting it together in the competition and then added that into their assignments.”

The Falcons look to avenge a loss against Maryland back

in the 2011-2012 season and top their score from last week.

“I think, looking at the scores coming into the meet, we’re favored, we’re ahead of them in the rankings and we have had a higher team score so a lot of our expectations are just building on what we just did the 195.550, and try-ing to top that every week,” said Turner.

With the help of a tough schedule, the Falcons are more than prepared to face a 4-3 Maryland team and a 1-3 Yale team as they continue to get better as the season goes on.

“I think going against harder teams it is really good for us to see where the com-petition is for regionals,” said Amanda Lievendag. “We have to get in the top 36 in the country to qualify so

and I think it is really good for our RQS because when we are against better teams our scores tend to be a lot better.”

For two of the Falcons, Katrina Carpenter and Lievendag, they will be in familiar territory as they head back to their home state in Maryland for this week’s competition.

“It’s gonna be fun. I am really excited to go back and get to see a lot of people from home so I will have a lot of family there and it will be a really good experience,” said Lievendag.

BG looks to remain in the top 36 this weekend to remain in contention for a NCAA regional champion-ship spot. The meet will be Saturday Feb. 15 at 2 p.m. in the Comcast Center.

HOCKEy From Page 6

the Seawolves, BG won 6-1 at the BGSU Ice Arena on Nov. 1. The following night, BG won 1-0 to sweep the weekend series.

The Falcons scored 101 goals last season. BG cur-rently has 94 goals this season, needing six goals to reach the century mark for the second consecu-tive season. Under current head coach Bergeron, the Falcons have increased their goal scoring every season, scoring 74, 85 and 101 goals.

With six games left in the regular season, the Falcons are on pace to have their best offensive season under Bergeron in his fourth year. The Falcons are averaging 3.13 goals per game, and are second-best in the WCHA behind Ferris State.

“We seem to be able to score goals and we need to be able to defend, and that’s execution,” Bergeron said.

Junior forward Dan DeSalvo currently has 77 career points. DeSalvo is having his best sea-son as a Falcon, with a career-best 21 assists so far. The last Falcon skater to record 80 career points before his senior season was Jonathan Matsumoto in the 2005-06 season.

BG had an overall record of 4-2-1 in the month of January. This Friday and Saturday’s game will start at 7:07 p.m. Alaska time.

“There is no reason to believe we won’t respond in this situation.”

Chris Bergeron | Head CoachsPORtsBriefHockey player loses first game as Olympian

During his first hockey game as an Olympian, Ralfs Friebergs of BG saw a defeat.

Friebergs is a BG defenseman who was called to play hockey for his home-land of Latvia in the 2014 Olympics hosted by Sochi, Russia.

The loss came in the last 7.9 sec-onds in Wednesday’s game against Switzerland, after Simon Moser scored the lone goal. Latvia faced Switzerland in a Group C preliminary.

The Latvian hockey team is compet-ing in its fifth Olympics. The country’s best finish in hockey is ninth.

Freibergs, a 5’11”, 191-pound left-hander is the native of Riga, Latvia.

Now a sophomore, Friebergs made his debut with the Falcons last season.

During his two weeks in Sochi, Freibergs will miss two regular season BG games, when the team will travel to Alaska to face the University of Alaska Anchorage on Feb. 14 and 15. He has played in all 30 games so far this season.

“It’ll affect our team on the ice in that he’s a pretty good player for us,” said BG coach Chris Bergeron at a press conference on Tuesday. “He’s a guy who’s contributed offensively for us back there.”

Freibergs leads the Falcon defense with 20 points, meaning he has two goals and 18 assists. This ranks him as a top-scoring defenseman in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.

“He is definitely a big part of our team,” Bergeron said.

Latvia’s next game is against the Czech Republic on Friday, Feb. 14.

Track and Field travels to Michigan for GVSU

Big Meet this FridayFalcons have 19 players in MAC top 20 list

By Jamar DunsonReporter

The Bowling Green Falcons’ track and field team will be heading to Arrendale, Mich. for the GVSU Big Meet this Friday.

This is the second of two very important matches for the team as this will be their last regular meet of the season. It will determine where the Falcons will be positioned going into the Mid-American Conference Indoor championship event. Like the Akron invitational, this will also be a two-day event.

Coming off their last event, the Falcons are heading into Friday with a lot of momen-tum. Players such as Lindsay Kaatz, Brooke Pleger, Dena Gates and Krystin Reiser managed to set new personal best records. They followed suit the following day by set-ting more personal bests and winning two events.

All of attention now lies on the Grand Valley event.

“Good, the practices have been good, the team is giv-ing their all,” said head coach Lou Snelling. “They’re doing everything they can for Friday and Saturday.”

For Snelling, the team’s main points to focus on are aiming for more automatic qualifying marks and per-forming well in the team’s primary events.

“We all came together this week as a team and the big-gest things to work on are the jumps, hurdles and throws, the primary events,” he said. “If we qualify for more auto-marks, our team will be in a much better position come next week for the MAC cham-pionship.”

He feels good for these events, particularly the weight throw, where he feels Brooke Pleger will flourish and con-tinue her great comeback

year.“She feels great; she broke

her personal record, so that’s fantastic,” Snelling said.

He also added that despite not being in many events this year, she’s still ranked on the list.

“She hasn’t been in as many events so she’s still getting back into things ... but she ranks fourth in the conference in weight throwing.”

One of the other good points on the team is freshman Lindsay Kaatz, who won the mile run at the Akron event. She is currently the third best runner behind Meredith and Durbin but look for her to make an impact at the GVSU.

Senior Jeanette Pettigrew is also having an improved season. After being sidelined with a hamstring injury last year, she has rebounded and is having a pretty good sea-son, topping it off with com-ing second in the prelimi-naries and third in the finals.

Snelling said that he hopes she does well in this event to have a good ending in the reg-ular season.

“She’s been doing this for a long time, she’s very experi-enced and we’re hoping for big things at the event,” he said.

The main thing the Falcons, according to Snelling, are looking forward to are get-ting more automatic qualify-ing marks and getting more of their players onto the top 20 list.

“Our goals are to move up on the conference list, we have about 19 in the top 20 list, so we need just to get on the list to make sure we qual-ify,” he said. “We also need to hit automarks because they have the biggest impact in the championship. As for perfor-mance, we really want to take a big step from last year.”

The GVSU Big Meet starts this Friday, Feb. 14 in Allendale, Mich. and is an all-day event.

VALENTINE’S DAY SPECIAL8 Friday, February 14, 2014 WWW.BGNEWS.COM

F or senior Jailyn Harris, Valentine’s Day isn’t just a time to celebrate a romantic other, it’s a time to celebrate

the people she loves. “I hang out with my friends on Valentine’s Day or spend time taking care of me,” she said. “You should celebrate it with people that you love, that means parents or family or friends.Harris found that people take love and put it into one box, romantic love, but she feels that it means so much more.” Junior Henry Proctor shares that view with Harris. “I might call my parents since I’m not with anyone,” Proctor said. “Because I’m not with someone, Valentine’s Day gives me a chance to relate to my family because they will always be there for me.” Valentine’s Day has also changed in it’s meaning over

they years, Proctor said. “There’s not as many couples now,” he said. “It’s different from previous times when people would like to contribute to being couples together and have that one other person. It’s not like it use to be, not as romantic.” Sophomore Breann Thornberry is maybe part of what Proctor was describing, because even though she has a boyfriend, they don’t make a big deal about Valentine’s Day. “We celebrate it but we don’t go all out,” Breann said. “I ask

him not to spend a lot of money on me. He shows he loves me everyday so we don’t need one special day for it.” Valentine’s Day to Breann seems to be more of a “Hallmark holiday.” “It seems silly,” she said. “It’s just a big holiday about chocolate.” Associate Professor in Popular Culture Jeff Brown said Valentine’s Day comes from our culture’s beliefs. “Some of our fundamental beliefs are things like capitalism

and monogamy,” Brown said. “Having a true love is one of those, whenever you watch a romantic comedy they always have meeting ‘the one’ and living happily ever after.” Brown said getting cards and candy for a significant other has to do with the rituals and marketing around the holiday. “It’s a way to demonstrate your love and to celebrate a relationship publicly,” he said.Proctor also thinks that Valentine’s Day is used for marketing and businesses. “It was created for commercial use like getting candy or going out to eat,” he said. “It’s always a good thing to have somebody to be close with but that could be a number of different people, not just a significant other.”

Inexpensive Date Destinations In Bowling GreenBy: Paige Crawford

i t’s that time of year again. Red and pink decorations all over campus and the “L” word flying through the air.

Valentine’s Day can be a stressful time, especially on a college student budget. So try some these cheap and fun date ideas to impress your date in Bowling Green.

• iCe arenaThe ice arena is located on campus at 417 North Mercer Road. If you are a Bowling Green student, the entry fee is only $3 and $3 for skate rental. If you are not a Bowling Green student, the entry fee is $5 with a $3 skate rental fee. Each combination still costs cheaper than $10 to enjoy a carefree atmosphere together. Whether you already know how to skate or it’s your first time, the BGSU Ice Arena is a cool way to break the ice.

• Bowling Bowling is such an inexpensive and classic date experience that people often neglect. One of the most popular bowling alleys in Bowling Green is Al-Mar Lanes, located at 1010 North Main Street. For a non-member of the alley, shoe rental is $2.99 plus tax and the weekend night special is just $9.99 for 3 games. If you wanted to spice the date up even more, you could go Cosmic Bowling. At Cosmic Bowling, the alley shuts all off the lights and turns on the black light. The alley plays music and serves food and drinks. The price of a 3 game special to Cosmic bowl is $11.99. Either way, bowling is a cool date to have friendly competition and get to know each other.

• tHe PlanetariUm The BGSU Planetarium is a 100-plus seat public science theater serving BGSU students, local schools, and the general public of the Bowling Green area. It is set under a 40-foot dome, and the Minolta star projector can show the sky as it would be seen from any place on the Earth at any time, including the Sun, Moon, planets, and more than 4000 stars. Currently the Planetarium is hosting its 2014 All Fest and has a show on Valentine’s Day called “Humble Vision,” showing at 8 p.m. The Planetarium depends on the generosity of its visitors for continued operation and growth. So technically it does not cost anything to attend, but a $1 donation is recommended.

• moVie tHeater The Cinemark Woodland Mall Cinema 5 is located five minutes or less from BGSU’s campus. The movie theater is small, giving you and your date intimate time together. The price of an adult evening ticket is only $5.50, leaving you money to spare for popcorn!

• art gallerYOne of the well liked Art Galleries in BG is Art-A-Site located on 116 S. Main Street. Art-A-Site is Bowling Green’s largest showcase venue for local artists. Usually you can walk in the gallery and view all the artwork and even learn to create some of your own in a private room. Also this Valentine’s Day weekend is the Winterfest. There will be a ton of events downtown as well. So after the art gallery, you can go visit some other places in the area that maybe you’ve never been before.

E very year, January blows by as students return from winter break and get back into the swing

of attending classes and doing homework. Next thing they know, it’s February and Valentine’s Day is right around the corner.

Flowers don’t taste

as good as pizza

College students are often operating on a budget. Sometimes it seems daunting to try and organize and pay for a great night with your significant other and still be able to afford food for the next two weeks. A way to save some cash and still impress is to order a heart-shaped pizza. Students can plan a night in by watching a romantic movie and ordering delivery from Campus Pollyeye’s. If you can resist the stuffed breadsticks, opt for a heart-shaped pizza from Pollyeye’s that tells a special someone your love burns for them as hot as the feeling when you know you should wait to take the first bite, but you do anyway. Pollyeye’s will do heart-shaped pizzas by request. You can call and place an order for a large pizza from Pollyeye’s at (419) 352-9638.

A new prohibition-style restaurant is now open in Bowling Green, describing itself as a “gastro pub with fine grub.” Melt Shoppe opened during late fall semester 2013 and provides patrons with a historic-themed restaurant and bar. This Valentine’s Day, Melt Shoppe is open from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. and will be serving up its signature-style build your own menu as well as a variety of fine wines and craft beers. If you’re looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth, Melt Shoppe also serves the most delicious malts and shakes in Bowling Green. For couples looking for a great place to grab a late night drink or dessert, this is the place to go. You can call Melt Shoppe at (419) 352-3774 for more information about specials and menu items.

If you’re looking for a finer dining experience, students can eat at SamB’s on Main Street. SamB’s is the staple restaurant in Bowling Green for dressing to the nines and treating your significant other. Reservations are available and most likely encouraged for Valentine’s Day. SamB’s can expect to see a large volume of business on the holiday so the sooner you reserve a table the better. Cozy booths and romantic lighting will set the mood for a great dining experience. SamB’s has been in business for just over 40 years serving the Bowling Green community fine wines and exceptional entrees. Sandwiches range from $8-12 and entrees are about $15-20. SamB’s is the only restaurant on our list that accepts BG1 in conjunction with all other standard forms of payment. Call ahead at (419) 353-2277 or stroll by the storefront to see the list of daily specials on Valentine’s Day.

Another cost-friendly option is to dine in at Call of the Canyon on Main Street. Owner Sarah Foster says it’s the best place to go on Valentine’s Day because they have the best food in Bowling Green. Reservations at this quaint restaurant aren’t necessary but are appreciated, especially if you’re planning a double or triple date. Call of the Canyon offers daily specials and their claim to fame is the broad selection of decadent homemade pies. You can call ahead on Feb. 14th to find out what pies will be served that day. Their dessert schedule is a well-kept secret that is sure to surprise. Customers can expect to

BY STEVON DUEY

F lowers can be one of the most romantic gifts significant others can give. The small gesture means

a lot to many people but what a lot of people many not realize is the meaning behind what you’re giving. The tradition of assigning meaning to flowers came about during the Elizabethan era. Expressions of outward emotions were restricted by society during the time and flowers became a way to communicate specific thoughts and feelings based on the color and beauty of the flowers being given. The red rose is the most iconic flower that conveys love and romance. A bouquet of red roses is the most popular Valentine’s Day gift ordered from many florists. Carnations are another popular choice as a gift on

Flowers, a Great Option for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day. Carnations are a perfect way to convey admiration and love without coming on too strong. Many people opt to give carnations as a budget-friendly alternative to roses since they also carry strong meaning. And the underdog for Valentine’s Day is the tulip. Many people opt to give carnations and roses because they are the most conventional, but the tulip is also a beautiful flower that comes in many colors. The red tulip conveys the message of true love. Gene Klotz, fourthgeneration owner of Klotz Floral Design and Garden prefers tulips to standard roses. Klotz Floral Design and Garden is gearing up for the busiest week of the year for florists across the world. Klotz estimates 300 delivery orders for Valentine’s Day in Bowling Green on top of the constant pickup

and walk-in orders they also receive. Klotz’s thrives as one of only two florists in Bowling Green so customers should be sure to place their orders early. Klotz will continue to take orders for delivery and pickup for Valentine’s Day through the holiday. He warns that customers should place their orders sooner than later. Unpredictable weather conditions may stall flower shipments and flower deliveries. Klotz offers a special of a dozen roses for $39.99 and is the place to go in Bowling Green for both exceptional quality and service. Customers can order pre-made arrangements or build their own bouquets and vases by visiting the Klotz Floral Design and Garden website at www.klotzfloral.com or by calling at (419) 353-8381.

spend $6 to $9 per entrée. Call of the Canyon is also now accepting credit and debit cards for the first time in 15 years. No there’s no excuse to pass up a slice.

DiBenedetto’s is our other option for a finer dining experience and is the destination for those seeking Italian-style food. DiBenedetto’s offers delicious courses at fair prices with entrees coming in around $12-18 per plate. Diners can find a variety of pastas and proteins on the menu to satisfy any palate. They also offer a full bar on the second floor separate from the dining area on the first floor if you’re just looking for a few drinks after dinner. Reservations aren’t required, but like SamB’s, they encourage you to call and place one before Valentine’s Day to avoid being turned away from a full house. You can call to place reservations at (419) 352-4663.

“We’re trying to empower them to make good choices,” Schwartz said.

One way the organization is hoping to do that is by host-ing a women’s empowerment group that will meet once a month and discuss traits of an abuser and how to stay out of an abusive relationship.

“A lot of the women

want to go back [to their abuser],” Schwartz said. “Education is the key to mak-ing good decisions. We’ll keep doing this and hope-fully something will click.”

Alicia’s Voice can also pro-vide money for car payments, deposits on apartments, gas cards, bus tickets, money to go to job training programs and more.

Immediately after a woman leaves her abuser, the organization offers supplies “everybody needs that you can’t buy with food stamps,” Newlove said.

Amy Urbanowicz, 31, of Millbury, Ohio, has benefit-ted from the supplies Alicia’s Voice offers.

After her abusive husband left, Alicia’s Voice supplied her and her family with com-mon household items like toothpaste and toilet paper.

In August, he constantly called her and wouldn’t leave her alone. Ten com-plaints of telephone harass-ment were reported against

Urbanowicz’s husband, according to the Perrysburg Municipal Court website.

He’s been at the Wood County Justice Center since Dec. 30, 2013, and won’t be released until March 16, according to the Wood County Justice Center.

While she was adjusting to life without her husband, Urbanowicz wasn’t able to pay her electric bill. Alicia’s Voice paid it for a month.

Urbanowicz is one of 1,000 women the non-profit organization has helped since it began in 2007, when Newlove’s daughter, Alicia, was killed by her abusive ex-husband.

From June 1991 to June 2011, there were 31 homi-cides in Wood County, of those, 25 were domestic violence related, according to the “Report of Intimate Partner Violence Fatalities in Wood County, Ohio.”

T he nu mbers show “it ’s not just A l icia,” Schwartz said.
