The Bowling Green Parks and Recreation Department put on their 52nd Annual Pet Show at city park on Wednesday.

People of all ages gathered in order to show off their pets and mingle with others in the community.

Kristin Otley, the recreation coordinator, said the show was started years ago to give children some-thing fun to do during their summer vacations.

“I think when it started it was just for kids,” Otley said.

The fun and relaxed event is a great way for the community to come together and socialize without the pressures of hardcore competing, she said.

“Its obviously not ultra competitive, its not the Westminster Dog Show, we don’t have people bring papers or anything like that,” Otley said. “It just kind of fun and kind of laid back.”

However, over time the show has evolved to include anyone who wanted to participate or watch in order to create a free and fun event.

“We do get a lot of people who don’t have pets, but are still able to come and watch,” Otley said.

Regardless if the people who attended the show were participants, workers or watchers, many were ready to be entertained by the pets and their owners.

Elizabeth Latta, a staff worker for the park’s camps, helped check contestants into their specific categories.

“Today is all about showcasing the different ani-mals in Bowling Green,” Latta said. “We have 21 dif-ferent categories and almost all of them are filled.”

Categories at the show included “pet with the longest ears,” “best groomed,” “shaggiest pet” and “best dressed” to name a few. But one category in particular was well liked.

“My favorite category [is] pets that looks most like [their] owner,” said Latta.

The category was also well liked by Otley who appreciated the time and effort she received from the staff.

“It’s always a fun time for [the camp staff] and they’re a huge help,” Otley said.

The devastation caused by the Oklahoma tornado in May was a reminder of the unpredictable disasters severe weather can cause, but departments at the University are constantly work-ing to deal with these potential hazards.

The Environmental Health and Safety Department (EHS) is responsible for coordinating all aspects of environmental management, occupational health and safety on campus as well as implementing safety regulations for the University, according to the departments page on www.bgsu.edu.

Vince Davis, Fire Safety and Emergency Management coor-

dinator, said departments like EHS are primarily concerned with making sure that the University is up-to-date on all of the environmental safety regulations, but the issue is not as simple as it seems.

“If you write a document, but don’t ever practice it, is it really a working document,” Davis said. “It may be in compliance with regulations, but [the question is] does it work. That is why we are constantly practicing our plans periodically on campus to make sure they are functional.”

Senior Tyler Kolach could not recall a moment that he felt unsafe at the University as a student.

“We have had some pretty bad storms in the winter, but I have never been concerned for my safety while on campus,”

Kolach said.Through his on-campus job at the student union, for the

University campus operations, Kolach was able to see how secondary plans can be implemented to ensure safety on campus.

“Last summer when they were making all of those renova-tions in the Falcon’s Nest and around the rest of the Union, they had to shut off the fire alarms for quite a while to accom-modate for construction,” Kolach said. “All of us employees had to take turns during our work shifts and go on ‘fire watch,’ which basically meant we had to walk around and make sure there were no fire hazards or potential dangers in the area. It was an inconvenience for

The University hosted the International Juggler’s Association’s 66th Annual Juggling Festival last week, which brought together 450 jugglers from around the world.

Jugglers from various places around the world, including Sweden, Australia, Germany and Japan gathered on campus to showcase their abilities and inter-act with other jugglers. The festival took place July 15-21.

The festival included many activities for jugglers of all skill levels. There were workshops to teach jugglers new skills or to let them hone in on their technique, special guest jugglers, a late-night performance at Cla-Zel Theatre called “Club Renegade” and a parade.

The main event of the festival was the Individuals and Teams Juggling Championships. The Championships were held Thursday night and some of the best jugglers in the world competed in the event.

“The contestants are scored in seven different categories,” competition judge Jack Kalvan said. “Execution, entertainment value, degree of difficulty, theatri-cal framing, creativity, risk element and stage presence. Execution and enter-tainment level are the two highest factors [in the competition].”

Jeremiah Johnston, a member of team Mountain Motion, ended up taking bronze in the team competition. He said his team was mostly focused on enter-taining the audience.

“We may not do the hardest tricks out of anybody out there, but we try to put on a show,” he said. “We include a lot of dancing and movement.”

everyone working, but it is nice to know that the University didn’t just take a chance on hav-ing the alarms down the whole time.”

Kolach’s participation in a “fire watch” is not uncommon, as the fire safety policy for the University is a cooperative operation between the Bowling Green Fire Division, EHS, campus operations, public safety, residence life, risk man-agement and student affairs, according to the EHS page on www.bgsu.edu.

Tim James, administrative captain for the University Police Department, said providing immediate updates on potential severe weather or other haz-ards is also important to ensuring the safety of everyone in the community.

BG alerts, an emergency text message service, allows the University police department to inform students about crime, building closures, severe weather and cancellations on campus.

“When you realize that we run a 24-hour operation here it makes sense that we were put in charge of sending out the BG alerts,” James said. “We are always

on top of the weather.”Students can sign up for BG alerts through their MyBGSU accounts and stay up-to-date on

future severe weather.

PET SHOWFrom Page 1ing animals strut their stuff and show off their looks on stage, Otley said her favorite moment of the night was when she saw the horses at the show.

“You know its going to be a good pet show when a horse trailer pulls in,” Otley said.

Seconds later she had witnessed a trailer pulling into the park containing donkeys and a goat.

“When the donkeys came on, that was pretty cool,” Otley said. “That’s not some-thing we get every year.”

The donkeys may have impressed Otley, but Amanda Athon, a first time participant, said she may have been more impressed with her dog Guss after he took first place in the category of “best pet trick.”

Athon said it took Guss about a week to learn his trick in order to win the first place ribbon.

“It’s really fun and I didn’t know what to expect,” Athon said.

After attending the pet show Athon encourages others to give the show a chance.

“Just remember to have fun [and that] the dogs have fun,” Athon said.

Latta also had words of encouragement for others who regularly don’t come to the show.

“It’s a fun time for the community,” Latta said. “It’s a great way to get families together.”

Its also a great opportunity for individuals who may not want to walk their pets across the stage to find a kid in the community who might enjoy doing it, Otley said.

To keep the pet show interesting catego-ries are changed over the years. The crowd that comes to the show also stays consistent.

“We typically average about the same number of participants, entries and audi-ence,” Otley said. “It remains pretty steady.”

The Pet Show held by the Bowling Green city park occurs every third Wednesday in July.

“Block your calendars for the 3rd Wednesday in July and start working on your tricks,” Otley said.

On July 20th, the proclaimed pioneer of female journalists, Helen Thomas, died at age 92. During her years working as a journalist, Thomas was the first female member or president of many different elite journalistic organiza-tions in the U.S. Thomas also covered news throughout 11 different presidential terms — from John F. Kennedy to current president Barack Obama.

Throughout her years working as a reporter, Thomas had her share of major news stories that have changed the face of the coun-try — the past five decades have not been quiet on the news front, with events such as Kennedy’s assassination, Nixon’s Watergate scan-

dal, Regan’s assassination attempt and scandal, Clinton and the affair, Bush’s war in Iraq (in which Thomas opposed and made it obvi-ous), to the first African American to be elected into the White House.

Throughout the years, the face of journalism has changed and Thomas kept up. As pointed out, Thomas’s career spanned throughout two different eras in reporting.

The radio and newspapers were the best way to inform the public decades ago. Improvement in technology has led to television and the Internet being the primary source of news gathering. But soon enough, local news channels were surpassed with the 24-hour constant news cycles, such as FOX, CNN and MSNBC.

While Thomas retired on a bad note (see her statement about where the Jews should

go), the breakthroughs have overshadowed the negative aspects of her career and life. During press conferences, Thomas would pose some of the hardest questions to the

president during the press conferences.

As a student studying print journalism, reading about Thomas’s career has made me think of the paths I’ve taken to get where I am, and the back-ground I have to offer. Will I somehow be as great as the first female to break the barri-ers between women and jour-nalism? Can my journalism career withstand decades, much like Thomas’s has?

I hope so. Time will tell, but I have to leave my mark where I am now, doing what

I do to make sure I’m a bet-ter writer, develop the report-ing skills I need in order to achieve what I want to do. But I know I have the support I need through the people I’ve met with the same inter-ests and hopes.

Ever wonder how the bars were set for the career you’re going into? Do a little research, see where the bar has been placed so you can possibly reach up and surpass it, if that’s your personal style. Never cheat yourself, but aim as high as you can. After learning more about Thomas’s career and what she has done for women in journalism, I hope to be able to say the same thing she has said to the most important man in the country — “Thank you, Mr. President.”

As is the usual for many other twenty-something college students, much of my creative inspira-tion can be attributed to the profound and interesting statements of my drunk friends.

Recently, while he sophisticatedly sipped his sixth glass of whiskey, one of my friends began to explain how our generation is going to be remembered and, more specifically, how we’ll be differentiated from our parents’ generation.

“You know, Chance, our parents are just the televi-sion generation, but we’ll be the generation of the Internet,” he slurred. In this situation, I typically ignore stories like these, as they’re often just drunk rants, but my friend was onto: The Internet (and greater technology in gen-eral) has caused quite the generation gap, and we’re

only beginning to under-stand the implications.

Take the entertainment industry, for example. Like many other college stu-dents, I’ve made the deci-sion to waive cable tele-vision and have instead opted to steal my friend’s sign up for a Netf lix account. I have access to many of my favorite tele-vision series and movies. The problem, of course, was that you would be late in the game, as a series would only arrive on Netf lix once the season was through on cable. As time goes on, however, this will no longer be the case. Netflix has begun offering their own originals such as “House of Cards” and, my current favorite, “Orange is the New Black.” And con-trary to the once-a-week airing of cable TV, Netflix has released the first sea-son of both of these titles all at once. All of the epi-sodes are immediately available for the viewer to watch on demand and at their own convenience.

On the new distribution

style, Kevin Spacey, who starred in Netflix’s “House of Cards,” had this to say: “It’s a real opportunity for the film and television industry to learn the les-

son the music industry didn’t learn. Give the audi-ence what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in, at a rea-sonable price, and they’ll buy it.” Years from now, it will seem archaic that viewers actually planned their lives around televi-sion programming rather than the viewers dictating their own schedule. Wired Magazine has already gone so far as to refer to it as the Platinum Age of Television.

Once one also consid-ers services like Spotify, which allow instant streaming of a virtually limitless library of music,

it quickly becomes evident that we’re entering into an important period for entertainment as a whole.

It doesn’t stop there. Skype video calls, for exam-ple, were once fictions of the imagination, something that belonged in an episode of “Star Trek” rather than on our personal comput-ers and handheld devices. And while many people have used it to connect with family members back home, friends on vacation, or a significant other, many have used these technolo-gies in unprecedented ways.

Dissenters have employed video streaming to film their protests for the world while whistle-blowers have used it to uncover scandals in our nation’s military for increased transparency.

Whether you’re Skyping with your boyfriend from vacation, petitioning your government, or video recording your drunken friend’s rants, technology is revolutionizing all of it.

“Never cheat yourself, but aim as

The city’s changing weath-er has caused scarfs and fashionable jackets to be worn in every season.

Denim shorts, cardi-gans, scarfs and sandals are some of the items that can be seen on students walking to and from cam-pus. However, students wouldn’t be shocked to change their outfits to denim jeans and rain boots due to the quick change of weather.

President of Fad Watch, Ajia Mason, said she knows how to dress for the unpre-dictable weather.

Fad Watch is a fashion organization on campus that coordinates many events. These include fashion shows and other events to help promote positive awareness per-taining to inner and outer appearance.

“When the weather is crazy, it’s best to layer your clothing and if you get hot, you can always peel the layers away,” Mason said. “I’ll also usually have a rain jacket in my bag; it always decides to rain out of nowhere around here.”

Will Porch, the advertis-ing and promotions chair, provided his advice about what students should wear when crazy weather hits.

“Always keep a hoodie

around,” Porch said. “It gets windy and rainy in Bowling Green.”

When sunny and hot weather finally arrive and become consistent, stu-dents are seen wearing trendy clothes and keeping up with the fashion do’s and don’ts.

Senior Deborah Chester said her fashion choices vary depending on her mood.

“My style is Audrey Hepburn meets hippie and Black Panther,” Chester said. “What I wear depends on how I’m feeling and also the type of look I’m going for, for that day.”

Men and women have different style senses when it comes to dressing for the hot weather.

Chester said she noticed how some students start to reinvent their looks when summer approaches.

“Males focus on their sneakers and keep their clothes simple while girls wear memorable pieces and keep their shoes sim-ple,” Chester said.

Mason has also seen popular memorable out-fits among students on campus.

“This year I’ve seen a lot of maxi dresses, skirts with denim jackets or vests when the warm weather first hit [the University],” Mason said. “A lot of guys have been wearing more

fitted yet relaxed clothing lately; it’s not too tight and not too loose fitting which is perfect.”

Fashion trends can be clothing worn, hairstyles, nail polishes and etc.

Box braids are a popu-lar hairstyle that were seen among many females, Porch said. After a song called “Poetic Justice” by Kendrick Lamar became popular, he soon realized it brought back the style that was once worn by Janet Jackson.

Mason started to appre-ciate everything that goes into a complete fashion-able look.

“I love everything about fashion from clothes and accessories to hair and nails,” Mason said. “I like the detail in complete looks.”

Fashion can take a turn at any moment, so don’t be surprised if you see students wearing clothes that were worn and trendy

years ago.“I think the 60s, 70s and

80s were amazing time periods when fashion was at a level that no one has ever seen before,” Chester said. “In the 80s people were vibrant and alive, wearing a lot of colors and gold chains.”

Mason also reminisced about trends from the past.

“I really like short over-alls,” Mason said

As students strut from class to class and use side-walks as their runways, they must remember that having confidence is a key factor when rocking their look.

Mason said she believes fashion can be an outlet for some people.

“Even if an outfit doesn’t necessarily match, but you think it looks great on you, go for it,” Mason said. “As long as you rock it and own that look with confidence, no one will even notice it may not match. I personal-ly think matching is over-rated anyways.”

Chester believes stu-dents should be confident in anything they wear.

“Style isn’t about wear-ing the most expen-sive thing or following the trends, it’s about being you,” Chester said. “People see and love con-fidence; if you believe you’re hot and look good everyone else will.”

changed my life...

Unpredictable weather causes students to create a variety of fashion trends

By Geoff BurnsPulse Editor

The movie that changed my life is “Django Unchained.” I saw this movie in theaters with my mom and we decid-ed to go at the last minute, lit-erally. Even though it’s a long movie, I took every minute in. It made me think about how our society has grown from the past. It made me think about morality after

watching actor Christoph Waltz’s bounty hunter char-acter throughout the film. This movie is an inspiration to me. It makes me want to take on the world without any rules but my own in order to serve humanity for the best. It just made me think about how the way things are in my life today and how great I have it. I hope it did the same for you too.

When it comes to hypo-thetical historical revenge movies, nothing can top “Inglourious Basterds.”

As a young Jewish woman, there is no movie plot as glorious as a Jewish army undergoing a mission to murder the lead officers of the Third Reich. The 2009 Oscar nominated movie changed my life as soon as I saw how smart, educated,

skillful and proud Shosanna Dreyfus, the main charac-ter, was to be herself. She escaped the murder scene of her family during the Nazi invasion of France and went on to set more than 200 Nazis in a movie theater on fire, which was the most intense scene ever. When I left the theater, I felt so proud to not only be Jewish, but to be a woman. It goes to show that even in a historic fantasy film, women rule.

you can always peel the layers anyway.”

Floral shop keeps expanding since 1918 Gene’s grandfather and original founder Frank Klotz lost his

hearing when he was eight years old, ultimately inspiring him to study green house operation.

Frank placed homemade wooden flats filled with vegetable plants in 1918, where flowers were later added.

Gene’s son Eric serves as the fourth generation for the Klotz family and is the current operator, with the shop being 95 years old.

When I was two years old, which seems like forever ago now, my parents intro-duced me to a movie that would change my life for-ever. I would watch it every night on what seemed like the world’s smallest televi-sion, you know, the ones

from the 90s where you had to squint your eyes to see a clear picture. My favorite movie, “Aladdin,” inspired me to grow my hair out, adopt a pet monkey, get a tan and find an Arabian princess. I managed to accomplish one of those things, I’ll leave you to fig-ure out which one.

Gene Klotz opened the doors of the Klotz Floral, Gift and Garden Center on Monday morning. Another day at the flower shop had started.

Gene has worked at the family busi-ness for 43 years and said it’s difficult to keep a small private family busi-ness operating because things are con-stantly changing.

“It’s harder with the changing times with our customer base and the peo-ple’s needs,” Gene said. “It’s hard to keep that inventory but we’ve adjusted to that.”

Gene’s wife, Rita Klotz, has been working at the floral shop for 43 years as well and said the shop has expanded throughout the years and has gotten larger from when she first started. She said some of the trends have changed

such as flower arrangements for the customers.

“Today we’re using more glass and doing things with more elements to them that interest people,” Rita said. “We’re using glass vases and contain-ers where 10 years ago we were making arrangements using baskets.”

Rita said working at a family owned business is great and even though cer-tain aspects of working at the shop makes it feel like actual work, she still finds enjoyable aspects about the place.

“I’ve met a ton of wonderful people over the years and I see it as helping people with a need that they have,” Rita said. “That part of it isn’t a job, that’s the enjoyable thing to do. I like to help people choose and make deci-sions on what they need.”

Senior Andi Yaussy has been working at the floral shop for two years as the garden center associate and said she enjoys working at the place because she loves to be outside and gardening has always been a hobby for her.

“I think the shop is awesome because you don’t see too many businesses that have been around for 95 years,” Yaussy said. “I really like working here because it’s small and everyone gets along. They work really well with stu-dent employees too.”

Gene said he gives credit to the University for the success of his fam-ily’s flower shop because it helps bring people in.

“If we didn’t have the University then we wouldn’t have the same town,” Gene said. “It keeps us having a bal-anced economy.”

By Jonathan KeilholzPulse Critic

As a child, my greatest hobby was horror movies. I was so consumed by freaky flicks that I had a scary movie marathon at one of my birthday parties. Some of my friends couldn’t come because their parents didn’t want them exposed to cinematic blood and gore.

Wimps.The VHS tapes I rented for

my marathon included cult classics like “Halloween” and “The Exorcist.” What did these have in common? They were 1970s horror hits.

“The Conjuring” is the first movie in decades to belong in my prepubescent marathon line-up. Here’s why.

First of all, it doesn’t take Roger Ebert to recognize that this based-on-a-true-sto-ry film takes place in 1971. The timing lines it up with Laurie Strode’s escape from Michael Myers, that’s from “Halloween” in case you’ve lived in a box for 40 years. The old hairstyles, classic TV sets and old-school utterances of “Far out!” are a blast from the past.

A movie needs more than a similar setting to make my coveted birthday party list. “The Conjuring” doesn’t just take place in the 1970s; it’s shot like it was produced in the 1970s: slow-moving zooms, subtle pan revelations and – most integral to this film’s success – the under-standing that terror is not what you can see, but what you can’t see.

Married paranormal inves-tigators Ed Warren (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) assist a fam-

ily struggling with demonic wackiness in their home. Unabashed by a not-so-unique premise, it’s incred-ibly fascinating to watch the professionals help Roger Perron (Ron Livingston) and Carolyn Perron (Lili Taylor) save their family. Farmiga and Wilson seem like true ghost investigators, the cool professors you like more than you should. Lorraine Warren can see things the others can’t see, creating a freaky dynamic.

In a rare case, it’s pure fear – not sex, blood or language – that generated an R rating from the MPAA, according to producer Walter Hamada. The crew originally wanted PG-13 for a broader audience.

Filmmakers can appeal rat-ings, but those behind “The Conjuring” saw an opportu-nity for some positive press: would “a movie too scary for PG-13” keep a teenager out or bring a teenager in?

Fear breeds in creativ-ity. For example, direc-tor James Wan’s use of a ref lective jack-in-the-box is brilliant. Today, that bril-liance is rare. Consider the bloodbath blockbuster “Evil Dead” wherein gratuitous bodily mutilations changed the tone from scary to funny. Ultimately, you’re dealing with a different gore-filled genre; something that’s diluted the horror franchise. “The Conjuring” fortunately stayed within its genre limits and it worked.

What Wan did is special. “The Conjuring” is a vessel for Wan to cleanse and sim-plify the most important element of a horror movie: pure and unabashed terror.

THE 52ND Annual Pet Show included animals from cats and dogs to goats and donkeys and gave awards for pets including funniest pet name and best groomed pet.

Johnston said his team also wore costumes, which was a common trend among the team competitors.

Mountain Motion wore 1920s and 1930s style costumes for their act, while another team, Corporation of Juggology, wore futuris-tic-looking outfits.

The team that took first place in the teams competition, Pastels, kept their outfits simple as well as wanted to impress the crowd with their acrobatic-style tricks.

Hailing from Japan, Pastels were given a standing ovation from the audience after aweing the fans with tricks that included jug-gling while standing on each other’s shoul-ders, throwing the clubs behind their backs, acrobatics and throwing clubs to each other across long distances.

“There is no way to explain just how dif-ficult these tricks are,” Jay Jones, vice-presi-dent of the Atlanta Juggler’s Association, said. “These guys are incredible.”

The gold-medal winner in the individuals championships, Kyle Driggs, used an umbrel-la as a prop along with juggling rings. Driggs balanced the umbrella multiple times on his head and even kept it balanced while still jug-gling the rings.

“It’s very creative,” Jones said. “Some of the other jugglers were trying much harder tricks, but [Driggs] act was very creative.”

There is a cash prize for winners of the competitions, but Johnston said that it barely covers the cost of getting to the competition.

“The real prize is the recognition, getting people to see your name on a poster and know who you are,” he said.

Jones said although the competition is fun, the best part of juggling is that it raises your self-esteem.

“Juggling teaches coordination,” he said. “Nobody just automatically knows how to juggle when they first start. If you’re not drop-ping stuff, you’re not learning anything.”
