DYLAN STRETCHBERY & FRIENDS PRODUCE AN ARRESTING COMIC SEND UP OF GRITTY DETECTIVE GENRE By DAVID DUPONT BG Independent News Timing is everything in comedy, and Bowling Green native Dylan Stretchbery and his fellow creators’ timing was good for the release of their web series “The Thick Blue Line.” The release of the series was planned before people realized they’d be confined to their homes to try limit the spread of COVID-19. And as difficult the current situation is, the series hit YouTube just as viewers may be looking for some levity and diversion. Dylan Stretchbery, right, and John Hume in “A Good Partner.” “The Thick Blue Line” is the brainchild of Stretchbery, a 2008 graduate of Bowling Green High School and 2013 graduate of Bowling Green State University where he studied theater and education, and his friends’ and comedy colleagues John Hume and Andre Radojcich. The series is a loving send-up of the gritty detective genre, drawing on the film “L.A. Confidential” and the more recent HBO series “The Wire” and “True Detective.” “The Thick Blue Line” features two detectives. Murph played by Hume and Rip played by Stretchbery, who modeled the character on Detective Exley in “L.A. Confidential.” Stretchbery said he wanted some of Exley’s “boyish charm.” He’s the sharper of the pair. Hume’s Murph is corner-cutter, lax with the rules, and more than a bit dense. Stretchbery, Radojcich and Hume have been working together for four years since meeting in an improv comedy class. They formed a practice group, and then started performing. They had been hosting a monthly show at a Los Angeles club. Though they’d been working together for four years, it was just over a year ago that they sat down as a team to try to develop the series. It grew out of a sketch Hume wrote about two police partners who argue about the NCAA and how it treats athletes. The comedians are at once colleagues, co-workers and best friends. “We hang out all the time,” Stretchbery said. “In this career, you never know when the connections you make will come to fruition.” For the trio that meant tossing around ideas about the hard-boiled detective stories they love. They kicked around multiple sketch ideas, then pared them to a dozen, and from those selected the four most promising. Radojcich and Hume wrote the scripts. Those became: “We Can Call This a Suicide”; “I Can’t Stop Thinking About that Day”; “A Good Partner”; and “End of the Line.” “We basically wanted to grab all our favorite moments,” Stretchbery said. “We wanted to create those scenes, so you are dropping into the most climatic moments.” “End of the Line” finds our heroes on a rooftop confronting a corrupt commissioner, whose price is the comically precise $6,000. It’s full of tension, then false resolution and hope, then new danger – all within four minutes. And “A Good Partner” finds Murph doing the final reveal of the conspiracy he’s uncovered in the office, which involves why people don’t like him. Scripts in hand, they crowd-sourced most of the $11,000 they’d need to produce…Read More

BGSU ADDS FLEXIBILITY TO GRADING DURING A SPRING OF ONLINE ONLYINSTRUCTION
By DAVID DUPONT BG Independent News With students, faculty and staff grappling with online learning, the Bowling Green State University has instituted new flexible grading for the rest of the semester. In an announcement from President Rodney Rogers and Provost Joe Whitehead late last week, they spelled out a radical departure from previous grading policies, that will enable students to convert any course not yet completed to a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory/No Credit grading option. Faculty will continue to use the current grading scheme – A, B, C, D and F. Once those grades are posted students will have until May 29 to file with the Office of Records and Registration to switch to the S/U/NC option. Students will need to consult with their advisors before making the change to ensure that the switch is in their best interests. Any course in which a student receives a C or higher may be converted to an “S” and will count toward their degree, regardless of department, college or university requirements. Those grades will not be used to recalculate the student’s GPA. The university has also extended the deadline to withdraw from a course for the spring semester to May 8. The deadline for completing the work for a spring semester course in which a student received an incomplete will be extended to Dec. 18. These changes are only in effect for the spring semester. “These grading changes are aligned with the direction most universities are taking across the nation,” the announcement said. The changes were made in consultation with the executive committee of Faculty Senate and the leadership of the Faculty Association. “We support the decisions the University has made regarding grading,” said David Jackson, Faculty Association president, in a text message. “In these difficult times we all need to be flexible to ensure student success.” The announcement goes on to say that the administration will be “accommodating” in how it deals with faculty and staff evaluations this year. A couple weeks ago, as the university was announcing the end of face-to-face classes for the semester, Jackson, said, that concern about the effect of going online on faculty evaluations was one of several “longer term issues” being discussed with the administration. The supposition was that having faculty all teach online courses, regardless of their experience in doing so, would have a negative effect on evaluations. Jackson also expressed concerns how the cancellation of scholarly conferences where faculty were scheduled to present papers could affect tenure decisions. -------------------------Community ,

A YEAR AFTER WAFFLE HOUSE ATTACK, CHANGES SOUGHT TO DEFEND DIVERSITYIN BG
By JAN LARSON McLAUGHLIN BG Independent News A year ago, the racist assault on two teens in the Bowling Green Waffle House rocked the community that had considered itself to be welcoming and inclusive. The two men charged with the crime were sentenced last week. And now community members would like city leaders to take action to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. La Conexion has created “Welcoming BG Protections” – a pair of proposed ordinances that have been forwarded to the Bowling Green City Council. The proposed ordinances were born out of La Conexion’s series of community conversations following the hate crime incident. The first ordinance enhances the city’s existing anti-discrimination codes by upgrading the complaint process and expanding the expectation that businesses take “reasonable” steps to deter discrimination and hate crimes in their establishments. The second ordinance addresses misdemeanor crimes, motivated in whole or in part, on the victim’s membership in a protected class. Both ordinances would go further than state law, providing protections for people according to actual or perceived race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ethnicity, ancestry, immigration status, sex, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, familial status, marital status, pregnancy, age, disability, genetic information, HIV status, source of income, and military or veteran status, according to Amanda Schackow, co-lead of the La Conexion Immigrant Solidarity Committee. Beatriz Maya, director of LaConexion, said she believes Bowling Green leaders are open to discussing ordinances to further defend diversity in the community. “I think there is a precedent of our city being very open to welcoming and respecting human rights,” Maya said. The proposals strengthen the city’s existing protections, she said. “The ordinances try to respect some of the things the community wanted to see,” Maya said. “I expect good collaboration. I think the city is ready – that’s what we hope.” However, the precautions taken against the coronavirus mean that these proposals will be on hold for now. City Council President Mark Hollenbaugh explained that council’s legislative efforts are being curtailed by the need to hold few public meetings and to focus on maintaining essential and emergency services. “Over the next two months our energies need to be focused on the basic tasks of maintaining services and promoting good public health,” he said. But Hollenbaugh added that he looks forward to a robust public discussion on the topic, once the public health crisis is over. Maya is also looking forward to that discussion. “For the benefit of the whole community, we have worked hard to make sure all residents, no matter their origin or identity, feel safe in Bowling Green,” she said. “We believe that these ordinances are also consistent with Bowling Green’s commitment to the public good.” Hollenbaugh said City Council will need to consult with its legal counsel and police chief, to see if there are any enforcement issues with the ordinances that are tougher than state law. But he supported the spirit of the proposals. “We’re always looking for ways to… ------------------------- Arts and Entertainment,

LIBRARY & ITS PATRONS BEARING UP UNDER THE STRAIN OF STAY AT HOMEORDER
By DAVID DUPONT BG Independent News With everyone forced to bear with the stay a home mandate, the Children’s Place at the Wood County District Public Library is helping to promote a way to ease the isolation, especially for children. Taking inspiration from the classic picture book “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” by Michael Rosen and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, the library is urging people to put toy bears in their windows, and if they don’t have one, a picture of a bear. The library has provided one to print out or copy to color. Along the way bear hunt evolved into bear hug. That way children out for walks can spy them in the windows. The library’s bears hold hearts that contain the outline of the State of Ohio and then another heart marking the location of Wood County. There’s space to write messages of encouragement and appreciation. “This is like a small gesture of reaching out when the library is closed,” said Children’s Librarian Maria Simon. “We’re trying to think about ways the library could encourage people to still come together in times that are difficult, and there are all these stay at home orders.” She credited social media posts on various sites with inspiring the idea. Simon and co-workers Bailee Sigman and Ali Hultz did a virtual story time on Facebook reading “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.” The story about intrepid hunters overcoming a series of obstacles seems fitting. Its refrains – “We’ve got to go through it” and “We’re not scared” – are appropriate for the times. “I’m just trying to maintain balance myself while still maintaining distance,” Simon said. “Certainly, sharing stories is part of that.” The book with its call and response structure is great for reading together, and even reciting while walking. Simon said she was out in Wintergarden Park when she saw a mother and her children, and across the way they started calling out the verses off the book. The library website has a picture of a bear that can be printed out or drawn freehand if someone doesn’t have a printer. “Coloring is a very calming activity,” said Children’s Librarian Maria Simon. That’s true even for adults as shown by the coloring programs for grownups the library hosted in the past. Children flock to the activity center at the library with its array of art supplies to do projects. The Children’s Place staff is aware that some children don’t have art supplies at home. “Not everybody is going to have crayons and markers,” she said. People making donations to food pantries may think about donating a box of crayons or markers as well. Art supplies ready to be distributed. Simon retrieved some of those supplies, which are donated by patrons through the Children’s Place Wish List. Simon left the supplies sit in her garage for a week, and then they were brought to Crim where they will be distributed along with the lunches. There’s a link to the project on the library’s website.

WAFFLE HOUSE RACIST ASSAULT DEFENDANTS SENTENCED TO JAIL By JAN LARSON McLAUGHLIN BG Independent News Nearly a year after using racial slurs as they beat up two teenagers in the Waffle House in Bowling Green, two men were sentenced Friday to 180 days in jail and five years of community control. Jacob Dick, 23, of North Baltimore, and Zachary Keller, 22, of Custar, had both pleaded guilty to felonious assault and ethnic intimidation for the attack that occurred on March 31, around 3:26 a.m. Waffle House employees and customers told police the victims did nothing to provoke the attack. The victims were taken to Wood County Hospital. One had a broken nose, the other bruised ribs. Both Dick and Keller could have faced 13 years in prison. But Wood County Common Pleas Court Judge Matt Reger – believing that the men are capable of rehabilitation – chose jail and community control. “A prison sentence is definitely warranted in this case,” Reger said. “The court came in convinced this was a sentence that deserved prison,” he said. But he noted the remorse expressed by both defendants. “You are somebody who I believe can be rehabilitated.” Both men were immediately taken to jail after the sentencing. After 180 days, their community control provisions will include substance abuse treatment, mental health counseling, anger management, no alcohol, no presence in bars, attendance at AA, and maintaining employment. Dick and Keller were also ordered to complete 300 hours of community service. They will be given credit if they are continuously employed, attend AA meetings, attend church, and read “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Dick will also get credit if he takes his children to the library and reads to them. If the defendants fail to comply with the provisions, the entire 13-year prison sentences can be enforced, the judge said. Reger talked about the racist attack as an offense to the community. And he advised Keller to be wise in his future behavior. “You’ve been given a second chance. I hope you take it seriously. I hope you understand this is your opportunity to make amends for what you did,” Reger said. While both men pleaded guilty to the charges of felonious assault and ethnic intimidation, their attorneys told the court that neither is racist. Attorney Esteban R. Callejas talks about his client, Jacob Dick. “This is a man who has a Hispanic daughter and a Hispanic lawyer,” said attorney Esteban R. Callejas about Dick, his client. “I don’t think he’s a racist. I don’t think he’s a bigot.” “He truly isn’t what he’s been made out to be,” Callejas said of his client, who has a tattoo of a deer head with a Confederate flag on it. When given a chance to speak to the judge, Keller acknowledged his role in the assault, but denied a racial motivation. “They made it sound worse than it was that night,” he said. Wood County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney James Hoppenjans pointed out to the court that it’s impossible to know what’s in a person’s heart. “All… ------------------------- Food , Senior CitizensMarch 27,

IN A PICKLE – SENIOR CENTER HAS TO COOK UP PLAN TO DELIVER 11,200MORE MEALS
By JAN LARSON McLAUGHLIN BG Independent News Feeding 800 senior citizens is as easy as pie for the Wood County Committee on Aging. But when required to come up with an additional 11,200 shelf-stable meals for those seniors, the recipe got much more complicated. On March 12, the senior centers across the county informed their regular noon patrons that lunch would for now be served at home. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, all meals would be delivered to seniors’ homes. As seniors were advised to stay home, the Wood County Committee on Aging saw a 27% jump in home-delivered meals – sitting right now at just over 700, but expected to continue growing, according to Denise Niese, executive director of the Wood County Committee on Aging. That was manageable, as long as the seniors didn’t mind a shake up in their regular menus. “We’re able to do the meals. It just may be different than the seniors expect,” she said. For example today, the crowd-pleasing baked bean salad is being substituted with three-bean salad. But then, Niese was notified that in order to meet requirements for federal funding, the senior center would have to also provide a two-week supply of shelf-stable food to the seniors. Niese inquired if the foods could be frozen, but was told no, since some seniors may not have much freezer space. So last week, Niese and her staff started brainstorming. “Where can we get that much canned food?” she said. With the goal of 14 meals for each of the projected 800 seniors – the menu expanded to 11,200 shelf-stable meals. Niese sent local Kroger stores a list of what was needed and paid shelf price for the canned protein, carbs, vegetables and fruits. Assisted by Lake Township businessman Ed Nagle, half of the food was trucked in. But then Niese got the call from the corporate office of Kroger that the other half of the order had been halted – and no more would be headed to Wood County. “We were kind of in a pickle,” Niese said. In preparation for putting together 11,200 meals, Niese had already bought 800 boxes and scheduled volunteers to create an assembly line to pack them. “I felt like I hit a wall,” she said. “So I started making some phone calls.” She cooked up a plan to explain her dilemma to the offices of State Sen. Theresa Gavarone, State Rep. Haraz Ghanbari and U.S. Rep. Bob Latta. And soon, the canned goods were back on the delivery list. “We are going to get all the items on our list,” Niese said. “But they told me this is the last bulk order they will be doing.” Niese expects all the canned goods to be here sometime next week. Teams of volunteers will be recruited to box the items at the Junior Fair Building, secured for the project byBernie Scott.

CONTEMPORARY SOUNDS FROM BGSU CONTINUE TO RING OUT ON WGTE-FM By DAVID DUPONT BG Independent News The halls of the College of Musical Arts are silent. The walls are decorated with posters for performances that will never happen, all victims of the coronavirus pandemic. Every Friday at 8 p.m. on WGTE-FM, the program “New Music from Bowling Green” provides echoes of some of what normally resonates through the Moore Musical Arts Center. The radio program was launched in 2013, the brainchild of Brad Cresswell working with then CMA Dean Jeff Showell. Cresswell, program director at WGTE, is a veteran radio personality and producer. Brian Pelletier discusses Samuel Adler’s second Sonata for Horn with Brian Cresswell The idea is to showcase the work of living composers through the lens of the vital contemporary music program a Bowling Green State University. “There was not in a lot on contemporary music radio that had mass appeal,” Cresswell said. Most of the “NMBG” mine “a huge databank of wonderful performers and composers” recorded at the New Music Festival held every October as well as recordings of other performances on campus. In February Cresswell visited BGSU to record two episodes during a concert held specifically for that purpose. The first of the “NMBG Live” aired last Friday. (Listen here.) That program featured: the second Sonata for Horn and Piano by internationally celebrated composer Samuel Adler, now a resident of Perrysburg, performed by Andrew Pelletier; “First Coast Groove,” a rocking piece for solo violin by Piotr Szewczyk, performed by Penny Thompson Kruse; and music for six cellos by Roger Zare. Pelletier spoke about approaching Adler and telling him the horn community would love a new sonata by him. Two weeks later the piece arrived in Pelletier’s BGSU office. The second “NMBG Live” episode will air this Friday, March 27. The program is distributed through Public Radio Exchange and is broadcast on 90 stations. Cresswell said KALW in San Francisco is especially enthusiastic about the program. Cresswell has repurposed older episodes to meet the station’s pleas for more. Composer Lydia Dempsey (left) with Brad Cresswell listens to a performance of her “Pas de Deux” by Nermis Mieses and Xavier Suarez. Dean William Mathis said that the college has a long history with new music dating back to 1987 when it received a grant to stage the New Music Festival. From that grew the MidAmerican Center for Contemporary Music, the organizing body behind the festival, said Kurt Doles, a BGSU graduate who directs the center. Now many people know of BGSU because of the festival and its focus on contemporary music, he said. The radio program is an outgrowth of that. While at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, recently, Mathis said, he spoke to a composer who mentioned the program. He told Mathis “‘I want you to know how important this is to our profession.’” The composer assigns his students to listen to “New Music from Bowling Green” and then has them conduct research on those composers. One episode got a student “unstuck” on a project he was working on.“Sometimes…
