Take a ShotBGSU mandates students, teachers and faculty to be vaccinated

BG NEWS September 8, 2021 | PAGE 2

BGSU requiresvaccines by Nov 29

Chloe Kozal | Opinion Writer

When asked if I was excited for the upcoming school year, my answer was affirmative

but untruthful. In reality, my excitement felt overshadowed by fears about our “return to normal”.

A tweet thread on the “façade of normalcy” as colleges return to in-person instruction by Georgia Tech professor Dr. Mark Reidl has been a daily comfort read as I remind myself these past two years have by no means been normal. Reidl’s tweets perfectly encapsulate my feelings about social, emotional and political conflict as we navigate potentially tense waters on vaccines and masks. It was a reminder to me as I entered my new classes that my professors may have similar concerns about in-person instruction, of which all have confirmed.

BGSU’s vaccine mandate may be the solution for our community to actually get as close to “normal” as we all desire. All of us had hoped for a pre-pandemic experience this semester. Instead, every day, we face high levels of anxiety-inducing questions — am I causing harm to others, despite my preventative measures? Will myself, my family, my friends and my professors be safe?

The vaccine mandate provides a chance for us to exercise civic and communal responsibility. Masks and vaccinations should be apolitical. Rather than give any validity to any COVID-19 misinformation absurdities, I state here that COVID-19 is real, dangerous and wreaks havoc. Amongst many other motives, seeing loved ones fall ill and one close family member’s death from COVID-19 motivated me to get the vaccine when the opportunity arose at BGSU.

Ryan Dick | Campus EditorBGSU will be requiring students, staff and faculty to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

“In preparation for spring semester, BGSU is requiring students, faculty and staff to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or receive an approved exemption,” University President Rodney Rogers said in an email Thursday. Students, faculty and staff must submit their proof of full vaccination no later than Nov. 29.

Exemptions for medical, religious or “reasons of personal conscience” are subject to review by BGSU’s Division of Health and Wellness. Those who are approved must follow protocols for unvaccinated individuals and participate in regular COVID-19 testing.

Students who do not submit their proof of vaccination or do not receive an approved exemption may not be allowed to enroll in face-to-face classes or live in an on-campus residence hall next semester.

Faculty and staff who do not complete this process may be subject to discipline in accordance with university policy and applicable collective bargaining agreements.

BGSU Chief Health Officer Ben Batey will provide more details on submitting proof of vaccination and applying for exemptions this week.

“I wholeheartedly embrace BGSU’s vaccine mandate.”

BGSU vaccine mandate steps toward normalcy

The pages for the #VaxBGSU incentive program, where students and faculty could access information about submitting their vaccination status for prizes, are unavailable on BGSU’s website at this time. n

“In preparation for spring semester, BGSU is requiring students, faculty

and staff to provide proof of COVID-19

vaccination or receive an approved

exemption, ”— Rodney Rodgers —

BGSU President

While debate exists whether vaccine mandates stifle expression of self-liberties, choosing to not vaccinate causes harm to those who are unable to receive the vaccine. It is not solely a democratic belief. In the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Stephen L. Carter argues that Libertarians should support a vaccine mandate. Famous Republicans, including Donald Trump and Sean Hannity, also received the coronavirus vaccine and expressed support for vaccinations. Political views aside, the scientific community is the most important voice to listen to during the pandemic and has proven the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective.

University education gives us tools to positively impact our

communities. The vaccine is one tool to protect others unable to receive it due to age, religious or medical reasons. It is also a sign of respect for over 4.5 million people worldwide and 643,000 of our fellow Americans who have died from COVID-19. We are not immune to this virus, and our campus must remember those in our community who passed from the coronavirus.

I wholeheartedly embrace BGSU’s vaccine mandate. As we needed to adjust to a new “pandemic normal,” this mandate will now allow us to step toward a new normal. This new normal will not be like former pre-pandemic university experiences, but instead has the chance to be an even better one. n

“We have a lot of great opportunities for volunteering in Bowling Green

and I encourage young people to volunteer as much as possible. ”

Emily Keegan Co-chair of Volunteer Committee

The 2021 Black Swamp Arts Festival is this weekend and the community is preparing. Emily Keegan, co-chair of the volunteer committee, explains how important volunteers are to putting the

festival together. The experience doesn’t seem like volunteering as you are submerged in music and fun.

ADVICE ON

The Importance of Volunteering WITH EMILY KEEGAN

Megan Finke | Managing Editor

What do you do? “I am a co-chair of the volunteer committee for Black Swamp Art Festival, I’m co-chair with Anne Mclaughlin.”

How long have you been working as co-chair? “This is my first year, I joined the board just a couple of months ago.”

How much experience do you have with BSAF? “Well, I’m a Bowling Green resident and have gone ever since I was a teenager.”

So have you volunteeredprevious years? “I have volunteered a couple of years and I also serve on a lot of local boards. Volunteering is kind of my jam.”

What does volunteering look like at the BSAF? “So we have about 14 different sorts of areas of volunteering. Everything, you know, this festival can’t happen without volunteers. So we need folks everywhere from serving beer, to helping artists set up, making artists feel comfortable and providing live music and an artist lounge where they can kind of relax, get out of the heat and have water. We need volunteers to help us with our youth art, too. And keeping the festival green, we’ve got a recycling team and that’s all volunteers. And even the folks who organize this whole festival year round, they’re working behind the scenes and they too are volunteers.”

What’s something you would recommend to first time festival goers? “You know, you’re going to want to experience everything. When you come to the festival, our music and food is primarily located in lot two, which is a big parking lot, just east of downtown, behind the east side of Main Street. But just you know, walking, if you come downtown, you’re gonna see art all down Main Street. So we are an arts festival but that includes the visual arts and music. So you got to check out the whole shebang. It’ll be right there and easily.”

So how can someone go about volunteering for BSAF? “On our website, BlackSwampfest.org, there’s a support option or a volunteer button. Folks click that, and it’s going to take you to our signup.com page, which has all of our areas where you can volunteer. And also it shows you how many spots are left there. So if folks go and take a look at that, you’ll see where we still need some help. And that’s definitely with youth arts, team engagement and we also need help with our recycling crew. And you know, a big part of the festival is our beer garden and to do that we’ve got to check IDs and sell tickets, and we need folks to help us with that.”

Your weekly recommendation of a movie, book, TV show and album

TV Show: Dynasty (2017-)

In one word, the main theme of “Dynasty” is drama. This show focuses on the two main goals of all rich families: to protect themselves and to get richer. Fallon Carrington is the heiress to her family’s fortune, but she soon finds herself in trouble when she tries to destroy her father’s new marriage. In retaliation to her father’s behavior, she partners up with a rival company, creating chaotic friction in the family. Everyone in the family speaks their minds with zero hesitation and is never afraid to give a firm slap to the face. This show is ridiculous and therefore, hilarious. “Dynasty” is available on Netflix.

Book: The Long Walk by Stephen King (1979)

The title of this book perfectly describes the plot of the story. This Stephen King dystopian horror novel revolves around an annual competition in which 100 teenage boys must continue walking at a consistent pace of 4 mph without stopping. If they go below the acceptable pace or stop walking, they are allowed three warnings before being disqualified, and in this race, only the winner comes out alive. A novel revolving around walking may sound boring, but King does an excellent job creating a gripping and horrific story solely through the use of dialogue and character interactions. This book is sure to scare slow walkers everywhere.

Album: Take Off Your Pants and Jacket by blink-182 (2001)

From the iconic band that blessed the world with singles such as “All The Small Things” and “What’s My Age Again?” that still blast over the radio, “Take Off Your Pants and Jacket” is the perfect album to scream about teenage angst. The album covers everything from the butterflies before a first date to the resentment created over a parental divorce. It is juvenile, exciting and borderline explosive. This album has the special ability to make everyone connect back to the cheeky mistakes and misadventures of their youth and forget, for a moment, the chaos of today.

Gretchen Troxell | Reporter

Movie: Spontaneous (2020)

To put it into simple terms, the main premise of “Spontaneous” is high school students randomly exploding. You know the feeling when you’re sitting in math class next to your best friend and POP! all that’s left is their tangled guts and puddles of blood? Yeah, it’s exactly like that. Of course with all of that going on, the students are expected to continue focusing on their studies and social activities. “Spontaneous” is also a love story between two teenagers living with the knowledge that either one of them could explode at any moment. This bloody romantic comedy is available on Hulu.

What are you most excited about for Campus Fest this year?

PEOPLEON THE STREETHurricane Ida

The Category 4 hurricane hit Louisiana on Aug. 29. Ida was deemed the second-most damaging hurricane on record after a tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea on Aug. 23. The wave quickly turned into a tropical depression that pummeled the Gulf Coast and Northeastern states. More than 60 have died and over 550,000 people in Louisiana remain without power.

On Sunday, the death toll in Louisiana rose to 13, and New York confirmed 17 deaths and over $50 million in damage to the state affecting over 1,200 homes. New Jersey has lost over 27 people, and four are still missing. Louisiana has confirmed several deaths, Pennsylvania has reported at least four deaths and Connecticut and Maryland each have reported a death from the deluge.

Louisiana may see more severe weather. Flash flooding watches are in effect and the region is also under a heat advisory as high temperatures will be in the high 80s and low 90s.

Around 14,000 people in one Louisiana parish are without homes after Ida destroyed about 75% of the structures there. New York is still recovering as Ida turned roads into rivers.

President Joe Biden visited New York and New Jersey to view the destruction and has issued a major disaster declaration for five counties in New York and six counties in New Jersey, along with Louisiana.

Census update in OhioOn May 18, a federal appeals court sided with Ohio’s attorney general in a lawsuit, making the US Census data available earlier than expected to draw maps for Ohio’s Congressional and State House and Senate districts.

Every 10 years, the U.S census counts the country’s residents. The data determines the number of seats each state has in the House of Representatives, and is also used to adjust or redraw electoral districts based on increases and decreases in population.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost sued the federal government to force the data to be released sooner. The court ruled in his favor, and the data was released on Aug. 12.

Two Congressional and State House and Senate Districts were approved to be remapped by Sept. 1. After missing that deadline, Ohio’s Redistricting Commission has until Sept. 15 to pass a plan. The amendment also mandates at least two hearings for the public to listen in regarding the congressional map, and at least three for the House and Senate maps.

Senate President Matt Huffman believes the maps for the statehouse and Senate will most likely not get agreement from the minority Democrats, and the maps will most likely be short-term. Their other option is a 10-year map, contingent on support from Senate Democrats.

COVID-19 updatesIn the state of Ohio, COVID-19 cases rose by 90% over the past two weeks. Currently, there are 6,022 new cases with 21 deaths. There has also been a 31% increase in tests being taken. Over the last four days, cases are up to a total of 1.26 million with 21,020 deaths in Ohio alone.

Vaccination rates have slowly been on the rise through September with 52.8% of the Ohio population having at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccination and 48.7% of the population being fully vaccinated.

Bigger cities like Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati are between 4,627 cases - 6,404 reported from Aug. 24 through Sept. 6. But cases have seemed to climb throughout the state.

The New York Times provides interactive and educational resources to see how COVID-19 is changing throughout Ohio. In Wood County, 1 in 9 people have COVID-19 and 53% of the total population is vaccinated.

Texas passes ‘Heartbeat Act’On May 19, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, along with the Texas Supreme Court, passed a law to ban abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The law, SB 8, went into effect on Sept. 1. It received major support from Republican lawmakers as nearly all of them signed on as an author or sponsor of the measure.

The bill will be put in place whenever an ultrasound can detect a fetal heartbeat. This could be as early as five-and-a-half to six weeks after gestation.

Other states have passed similar bills, but Texas’ version has a key difference. Instead of the government enforcing the law, the bill turns responsibility over to private citizens, who now have the power to sue abortion providers, or anyone who helps someone get an abortion, after a fetal heartbeat is detected.

The law also applies when women are impregnated as a result of rape or incest; aside from exceptions for medical emergencies.

According to the Texas Tribune, in 2019, more than 56,600 abortions were performed, most of which were in their first trimester.

Many feel as if this has been an attack on women’s rights. According to an interview by The Washington Post, President Joe Biden has denounced the Texas law as “almost un-American” and said it creates a “vigilante system” under which private citizens are empowered to police the ban.

Gretchen Troxell | ReporterBGSU will hold its annual campus fest tomorrow from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. to introduce students to 290 organi-zations, university offices, and exter-nal partners on campus.

There will be tables set up in the Bowen-Thompson Quadrangle, in the Union Oval and between Moseley Hall and the Education Building.

BGSU Director of Student Engagement Brian Heilmeier described campus fest as one of the most energetic and anticipated days of the school year.

“Campus is big, so when we have something that stretches all over campus, people are excited. People get really pumped about that,” Heilmeier said.

The primary goal of campus fest is to increase student involvement. Students get the opportunity to explore and meet a large variety of groups with different interests and opportunities. Some groups are mission-oriented, while others focus on building a community with similar people, Heilmeier said.

Heilmeier said campus fest allows current members of organizations to “sell their group with their own voice” rather than relying on an introduction by the university.

This allows campus organizations to increase their membership. Along with general members, several groups are also looking for students to fill vacant leadership positions.

The 2020 campus fest was virtual, so this year’s in-person campus fest is especially important. First and second year students, as well as groups that were inactive last year, have the opportunity to introduce themselves and meet new people in a non-virtual setting.

Campus fest also benefits returning students. With the number of organizations on campus, nearly every hobby or interest has a group for it. Even students working the tables have discovered groups they’d never heard of before at campus fest, Heilmeier said.

Heilmeier, a BGSU alum, believes student involvement is “critically important” on college campuses.

“Time and time again, we have seen students who get involved are more likely to be successful,” he said.

Art:There is a variety of beautiful work to be seen at the Black Swamp Arts Festival. Two art shows have creations from artists all over the country and some are local from Wood County. Along with these shows are amazing chalk drawings done by young artists in the Teen Arts area. There will be plenty of opportunities to see artists at work and get to know them. Now you don’t just have to look at the art because you can make some of your own too! Making paper hats, spray painting, making new crayons from old, creating a new robot friend and plenty more are all perfect activities for the whole family that don’t cost a penny.

Music:You don’t get to just see the artwork at the festival, you get to hear it too. With a music lineup of 14 artists on the main stage you will never be bored. Some artists that will be performing are Ward Davis, Cedric Burnside and Nikki D and the Sisters of Thunder. For more family friendly song choices, hop on over to the family stage located in the Youth Arts area for songs everyone can enjoy. The community stage will be taken over by many local musicians so check it out and you might even see someone you know. Then, on Saturday, in the Teen Arts area is the Beats On The Streets music competition where vocal ensemble groups compete in a musical competition to earn money for their school’s music department.

Involvement in student organizations can help set an individual apart in their major, he said.

“When I graduated with 60 other people that had the exact same degree ... what was I going to do to set myself apart? I was a part of a number of organizations ... (so I was) able to deal with people and work with people, so I think the involvement piece can really help set a student apart from even other folks here at BG.”

Heilmeier described the planning process for campus fest as a “big undertaking.” There are a lot of

moving parts and pieces that all need to come together. Each organization will have its own table and spot around campus.

COVID-19 and the Delta variant have influenced the planning process. The event will be held outside, and adjustments have been made to spread the tables out. While the spacing won’t be exactly 6 feet, there is a lot of space outside to distance the groups, Heilmeier said.

Although masks are not required, they are encouraged throughout the event. In particular, when interacting with the groups and talking over the table, wearing a mask is strongly encouraged, Heilmeier said.

Campus fest is a great way to get involved, but Heilmeier is aware that the day can be “overwhelming” for some students.

Campus fest is “just one tool to help people get involved,” he said.

There are also online directories and an involvement survey that can help students explore campus organizations.n

Second-half shutout powersVolunteers to 38-6 victory over Falcons

STEVEN IWANEK | REPORTER

BGSU football kicked off their 2021 season in Knoxville against the Tennessee Volunteers on Thursday

night at a sold out Neyland Stadium. The Falcons came into the matchup as underdogs, but held their own against the heavy favorites.“I told our players in there that there’s no such thing as moral victories, and there’s not,” head coach Scot Loeffler said. “But, with this young team, there was a ton to build off of in this game.” The Volunteers would jump out to a 14-0 lead with two early first quarter touchdowns. Joe Milton, the Michigan transfer and starting quarterback, scored from four yards out and running back Jabari Small added a one yard touchdown. The Falcons controlled the second quarter, shutting out the Volunteers.

A pair of field goals, including a career high 50-yard field goal from senior Nate Needham, trimmed the lead to 14-6 heading into halftime. In the second half, the Volunteers dominated, putting 24 unanswered points on the board to cruise to the 38-6 victory. Darren Anders forced one fumble in the second half, winning the turnover battle in the end for the Falcons.

“But, with this young team, there was a ton to build off of in this

game.

“— Scot Loeffler —

Head Football Coach

Despite the loss, Loeffler found growth in his young team. “I thought our defense tackled better. I think we’re making improvement in that end,” he said. “It was pretty evident that without having two of our best targets, we can throw the football better. There’s a lot to build on.” Senior quarterback Matt McDonald finished 26 for 40 and 185 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Cavon Croom and Austin Osborne finished with 45 yards receiving for the Falcons. Milton finished 11 for 22 and 140 yards and one touchdown. He added 44 yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground in his first start for the Volunteers. Running back Tiyon Evans finished with 16 carries for 120 yards and one touchdown. The Falcons welcome South Alabama to the Doyt for the home opener next Saturday. n

ZAK SMITH | BGRSO PRODUCTION DIRECTOR

The Falcons rebounded from a 1-2 start with a 2-1 weekend at the University of Notre Dame, advancing them to an overall record of 3-3 on the season. Bowling Green got the weekend with a three-set victory in as many sets on Friday against host Notre Dame. The Irish had no answer for Junior Petra Indrova and Redshirt Freshman Kat Mandly as the two combined for 32 kills to go along with Hannah Laube’s 35 assists to start the weekend 1-0. The good times continued to roll for the Orange and Brown as they took Milwaukee to five sets on Saturday to go 2-0 on the weekend. This was Katelyn Meyer’s day as she collected 24 kills in the victory. Falcons took sets two, three and five to begin the weekend 2-0. Come Sunday, the Falcons gave Cincinnati all they could handle, going another five sets but falling in the final moments to the Bearcats. Meyer and Indrova each had 14 kills but it was not enough to push the Falcons to 3-0 on the weekend. The Falcons return to the court next weekend as they travel to Pittsburgh for the Panther Challenge starting Friday.

List. Every week, we will provide activities to do around campus

with friends or by yourself. The university has created its own personalized list but we wanted to create one for students, by students. It is important to make your time on campus memorable, and these ideas will help you do so.

The Administration Building is set to be demolished in late 2021 and a new entrance to the campus is being built in its spot. The chances of being drenched in the infamous fountain on the west side of the building are running out. It is not always on, so make sure to take the opportunity when it arises.

The 2021 Black Swamp Art Festival takes over Main Street from Friday to Sunday. The festival will have food, fine art and music. It’s one of the largest annual events Bowling Green has, and it didn’t happen last year, so expect a passionate crowd and excited student population.

Campus Pollyeyes, at 440 E Court St. is a community staple. They are known for their stuffed breadsticks that can be filled with a range of pizza toppings. The restaurant has a small dine-in space but also offers delivery. A small order of three breadsticks costs $10, and a large order of six costs $15, alongside other typical pizza restaurant offerings.

Ninja Hibachi had its ribbon cutting ceremony on June 22 after opening during the pandemic. Sitting on 1080 S. Main St. next to Family Farm & Home it serves a variety of Japanese hibachi. While it is on the pricier side, there are only three Bowling Green restaurants that serve sushi. So if you ever have a craving, this is the spot to go. n
