Head coach Bryan Davis has announced the addition of 12 players to the
Wright State men’s soccer
program for the 2011 season. Joining the Raiders
will be Shawn Banagis,
Bobby Burrows, Joakim
Carlsson, Filip Dyminski,
Craig Feehan, Matt Greer,
Bobby Hammonds, Justin
Laird, Finlay Milne, Emeka Ononye, Horacio Sanchez and Gustav Svensson.
Sanchez (La Grange,
IL/Lyons Township), a
5-10
forward/midfielder, was a NSCAA High
School All-American last
season as well as All-Region and All-State as he
recorded 16 goals and 13
assists. He was also selected as an ESPN Rise
PRIME Time Player last
December and was an
ESPN Rise National Player of the Week in October.
Sanchez led the Lions
in goals scored and total
points in his final three
years and helped Lyons
Township win the Illinois
State 3A title in 2009,
scoring the first goal in a
2-1 victory. An ODP state
player in 2005, 2006 and
2007, he was also a regional player in 2006 and
2007.
“Horacio is a player
that I feel has some great
days ahead of him,” said
Davis. “He seems to find
a way to score goals every time he is on the field.
Flat out, he is a good soccer player and has a good
mind for the game. We are
pleased to have him coming to us.”
Laird (Milwaukee, WI/
Hartford Union), a 6-2
midfielder, holds the Wisconsin state record for assists in a season (27) and
career (63). An all-state
selection as a junior and
senior, he was a three-time
all-conference and all-area
honoree. A four-year starter for the Orioles, Laird
helped Hartford advance
to its first competition at
state and win the conference title all four years of
his high school career.
A four-year starter for
his club team, North Shore
United, Laird was named
as a Regional Player to
Watch.
“We are very excited
to add Justin to this program,” said Davis. “From
day one, it was clear that
it was a great fit for both
sides. He has great vision
of the field and has a tenacity to his play that is
necessary for success. You
are judged in this sport by
results and he always finds
a way to make an impact
for the team he is on. He
is a first-class kid and bottom line, a winner. He will
be a great addition to this
program.”
Milne
(Palmerston,
New Zealand/North), a
6-1 defender, comes to
Wright State after playing the past two seasons
at Central Florida. In
2010, he appeared in five
matches with starts against
Army and Virginia Tech
while in 2009, he played
and started in 15 matches,
recording four shots.
Prior to Central Florida, Milne was a member
of the New Zealand U-20
National Team and played
against New Caledonia in
a World Cup qualifier in See SOCCER..................C2
University Adds Three Local
Golfers for 2011
Urbana, Ohio - Urbana
University Head Women’s
Golf Coach Bob Belliveau
announced the signing of
three local prep standouts
to the program’s 2011 recruiting class. Bellefontaine High School’s Morgan Conley and Graham
High School’s Lindsey
Phillips will don the blue
and white of the Blue
Knights in 2011 after four
years of battling each
other on the course in the
Central Buckeye Conference. Both Conley and
Phillips are 4-year AllCBC selections for their
respective squads, and
both have participated as
district qualifiers. In each
of the past 3 seasons, Phillips has helped her squad
to top 6 team finishes in
the State Championships,
highlighted by a third
place team finish during
Phillips’ sophomore season in 2008.
“I’m excited to have
both Morgan and Lindsey
Tahiti. He also played club
soccer for Marist Palmerston North, where he was
named as the club’s Player
of the Year in 2008.
“Finlay comes to us
with a good amount of experience as a player,” said
Davis. “He had a definite
playing pedigree shown
from his development in
New Zealand and his time
in their national team program prior to coming to
the United States and then
playing two years at a very
strong Central Florida program. With all this, “Fin”
will bring the added experience that this squad
needs as we look to turn
the corner as a program.
We are very pleased to
have him on board.”
Carlsson (Falkenberg,
Sweden), a 6-3 defender,
has been a member of
Falkenberg’s FF youth
team since the age of five.
He is now a captain for
their U21 team which has
been ranked in the top
eight in Sweden. Carlsson
is also a member of a regional team in Halland.
“Joakim is quite a talented player and has a
great soccer pedigree out
of Sweden,” said Davis. “This high standard
will bode well for him as
he adjusts to the college
game. Along with that, he,
at a young age, has had
leadership roles on every
team he has played on. Not
only is this impressive, but
again will only add to the
already extremely high
quality of character and
integrity in the group. This
quality in the entire group
is necessary, we feel, for
us to take our next steps as
a program.”

Sweden in the official European Championship in
Prague, finishing 10th out
of 20 teams. Svensson also
played on the Region Scania team that was the topranked team in Sweden.
“Gustav has won at
every level he has played
at,” said Davis. “His experiences in Sweden, I
feel, will translate well
to success for him here at
Wright State. Bottom line,
he is battle tested and has
played against some of the
top talent in Europe. He is
technical when needed and
clearly has a toughness
that coaches hope for in
an incoming player. I am
looking forward to having him here and growing
with our strong young core
of players that we already
have along with the other
newcomers.”
Dyminski
(Crystal
Lake, IL/Marian Central
Catholic), a 6-0 defender,
was named all-state as a
senior as well as All-Suburban Chrisitan Conference. Selected as a Top
Five Player to Watch and
All-Area by the Northwest Herald, Dyminski
was chosen as the team’s
best defensive player as a
sophomore and senior.
“Tough as nails is the
best way to describe Filip,” said Davis. “He has
a great work ethic and desire for growth as a player.
He has a great passion for
the game and I think really has a bright future at
Wright State.”
Banagis (Perrysburg,
OH/Perrysburg), a 5-11
midfielder, was a threeyear starter along with being named First Team AllNorthern Lakes League
and First Team AllNWOSSCA as a senior.
He helped lead the Yellow
Jackets to an undefeated
record in winning the NLL
title in 2010. Banagis was
also a part of Pacesetter
Soccer Club’s U17 team
that won the Ohio North
State Cup last year.
“Shawn is about as
versatile as it comes,” said
Davis. “He has played
every position outside of
goalkeeper in the past two
years for his high school
and club teams. This was
very impressive to us and
really is an advantage as
he gives us an option at
literally every position on
the field. He has a great future to look forward to at
Wright State.”
Greer (Cincinnati, OH/
Anderson), a 6-0 midfielder, was named First Team
All-Fort Ancient Valley
Conference as a senior as
well as First Team AllSouthwest Ohio. The team
captain and MVP in 2010,
Greer was a Second Team
All-FAVC honoree as a junior.
“Matt comes to us from
Hammer Soccer Club and
Anderson High School,”
said Davis. “Honestly, we
are very pleased to be adding him to our program.
He is a ball winner, athletic
and a strong soccer talent.
He is also a kid that brings
his hard hat and lunch pail
and is willing to do the
dirty work. I’m excited to
get him in our system and
watch him blossom in it.”
Feehan
(Pittsburgh,
PA/Shaler), a 6-3 goalkeeper, was a two-year
team captain and was
named All-Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic
Athletic League and AllSection his senior year.
He played ODP ball with
Pennsylvania West and
club with FC Pittsburgh.
“Craig is a very strong
goalkeeper that will compete with our two present guys right away,” said
Davis. “He has the intangibles to be great. As a
former goalkeeper myself,
I am excited about his potential as a player. He has
great hands, great size and
is solid in distribution. He
will be a welcome addition.”
Burrows (Hudson, OH/
Hudson), a 6-3 forward,
was an all-conference performer for the Explorers as
he recorded 27 goals and
40 assists during his high

BCS Announces 2012
Bowl Game Dates
Stock Photo
As a result of continued uncertainty involving
the upcoming National
Football League schedule,
the Bowl Championship
Series (BCS) group today
announced a change in
dates for three of its upcoming bowl games in order to avoid possible conflicts with NFL Monday
Night Football.
The Allstate Sugar
Bowl will be played Tuesday, January 3; the Discover Orange Bowl will
be played Wednesday,
January 4; and the Tostitos
Fiesta Bowl will be played
Thursday, January 5.
The Rose Bowl presented by VIZIO will remain Monday afternoon,
January 2, and the Allstate
BCS National Championship game remains Monday, January 9th.
“We consulted the involved parties and made a
careful decision to choose
dates that will ensure a
prime-time showcase for
our student-athletes while
also being mindful of the
potential for change in
the NFL’s schedule,” said
BCS Executive Director
Bill Hancock. “At this
point in time, we want to
create certainty in a somewhat uncertain scheduling
environment.”

school career. His club
team, Woodbridge FC, recently finished runner-up
at the state championships.
“Bobby has a lot of
ability as a player,” said
Davis. “He has good
ideas, is solid on the ball
and battes for everything.
Athletically, he is quite
gifted as well, which again
makes him versatile and
dangerous for the opposition. I’m excited to watch
him grow as his coach
over the next four years.”
Ononye
(Richmond
Hill,
ONT/Cardinal
Carter), a 6-4 midfielder/defender, played for
Markham Lightening for
2007-08 and ANB Academy for 2008-11, serving
as captain for both squads
and for his high school
team as a sophomore and
senior. He was his high
school team’s MVP in
2011 as Carter won the
Soccer Academic Alliance
Canada Cup in 2008 and
was league champions in
2008 and 2010.
“Emeka will add a lot
of the physicality and athleticism that it takes to survive our grueling fall season,” said Davis. “What
people miss when they
watch him play, however,
is that for the short time he
has been seriously focusing on soccer itself, he is
quite good on the ball and
has very natural movements and ideas within the
game. I am really looking forward to seeing his
progress in our program.”
Hammonds (Beavercreek, OH/Beavercreek),
a 6-1 defender, was a First
Team All-Greater Western
Ohio Conference selection
as a senior for the Beavers.
He was also named First
Team All-Dayton South.
“Bobby comes to us
from Beavercreek High
School and the Ohio Galaxies Soccer club around
the corner from us,” said
Davis. “He has all the
tools to be a very big contributor for us. Whatever
battle I have seen him in
as a player, he wins. That
is a tremendous quality to
have.”
“I am pleased to announce this as our incoming class for 2011,” added
Davis. “Each player in
this group brings unique
qualities to add to all facets of our growing program. What I like best
about this group is the
type of character we continue to add. Across the
board all of these players have had leadership
roles on successful teams.
These leadership qualities,
mixed with the continued
addition of talent and expectation of success, will
help us continue to take
the steps necessary to
reach our goals as a program. There is still a lot
of work to be done but we
as a staff are eager to get
these players on campus
with our returning guys
and begin the process of
working to achieve our
program goals.”
Wright State opens the
2011 season with an exhibition match at Ohio State
on Wednesday, August 17,
at 7:00. The Raiders kickoff the regular season on
Friday, August 26, against
Marshall, also starting at
7:00.

Wittenberg Golfers, Assistant Coach Earn
Spots In Ohio Amateur
By RYAN MAURER
Contributing Writer
Springfield, Ohio —
The 2010-11 Wittenberg
University men’s golf
season may have recently
ended, but for team members and coaches alike
the competition is just
heating up. Four current
members of the nationally
ranked squad, one incoming recruit and assistant
coach Andy Bonar, class
of 2005, have all qualified
for the 2011 Ohio Amateur
Championships July 11-15
at NCR Country Club in
nearby Dayton.
On May 23, David
Wetterich, class of 2014
from Cincinnati, Ohio, finished in a four-way tie for
second place in the Ohio
Amateur Qualifier hosted
by Springfield Country
Club, just blocks from
Wittenberg’s
campus.
Also earning a spot in the
Ohio Amateur Championships out of the Springfield qualifying event were
Ricky Boerner, class of
2012 from Hilliard, Ohio,
Craig Osterbrock, class of
2013 from Wilmington,
Ohio, and Bonar. Jonny
Price, class of 2013 from
Dublin, Ohio, missed the
cut by one stroke.
Eight days later, Alex
Andrews, class of 2015
from Kirtland, Ohio,
joined his future teammates and coach in the
Ohio Amateur field by
posting a 75 at Mayfield
Country Club in suburban
Cleveland. He placed in a
tie for ninth.
Andrews’ score was
matched that day by Tyler
Yaple, class of 2014 from
Dublin, Ohio, who was
playing at Riviera Golf
Club in his hometown.
Yaple was one of 33 qualifiers from the site.
“I am so proud of the
work our young men put
in during the offseason,
and to have six total Tiger
representatives at the Ohio
Amateur is a testament to
their efforts,” said Head
Coach Jeff Roope, who
has led the Tigers to backto-back North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC)
titles and top-25 finishes
in the NCAA Division

that is fun and has stood
the test of time. The music

lively, and toe tapping. It
is the intent of the group
to preserve and promote a
style of music extremely
popular and loved by generations of the last century. Audiences delight in
the distinctive and unique
sound of the four-string
banjos featured by the
group.

Enjoying The 3D
Experience At Home
Getting Kids To Love And Respect
The Great Outdoors
(NAPSI)—Connecting
with nature offers many rewards for children. Spending time outside gives kids
a chance to exercise in the
open air, engage all their
senses of perception and
enjoy the simple pleasure
of being outdoors.
Introducing kids to nature can be easy and fun
for the whole family. Here
are a few tips:
Start in your own backyard: Children’s first introduction to nature can
start at home. Even small
children can dig a hole,
hunt for bugs, plant sunflower seeds and watch
them grow, or help fill a
bird feeder and watch the
flocks come to feed. Parents can plant flowers that
attract butterflies and hummingbirds, then ask kids to
notice when insect or bird
visitors arrive.
Take a nature walk:
Start your preschoolers
with a trip to a park or nature reserve and take note
of the flowers, insects and
animals you see. If you
can’t identify them, take
a picture and try to research them online when
you get home. Some nature reserves offer guided
walks, which are great
for older kids. Next, try
short hikes. Be sure your
child has a pair of sturdy
shoes. Wearing two pairs
of socks—a thin nylon
liner close to the foot and
a thicker, heavier pair on
the outside—may help
prevent blisters. Hikes are
a lot of fun but your child
could become bored if
there isn’t anything going
on for a long time. You can
engage them by playing
games such as “I Spy” and
challenge them to contests
Stock Photo
collecting leaves, stones or
twigs to help them relate
to the nature around them.
Bring nature to the
craft table: Collect items
found on nature explorations to create crafts that
will bring the outside in.
For example, dried flowers and leaves can be used
to make place mats or picture frames. Rocks can be
decorated and transformed
into paperweights.
Take the kids camping: When introducing
camping, try to keep the
first trip short—about two
nights—and keep travel
time to the site as short as
possible. Before you go,
you may want to show
kids a DVD about camping so they know what
to expect. For example,
“Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Great
Outdoors” features five
episodes from the “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” TV
show that showcase how
to enjoy outdoor activities
such as camping, fishing
and exploring nature.
The camping episode
shows that when camping,
the first thing to be done
is to set up the campsite,
put up the tent and organize the fire. Only then
do Mickey and friends go
fishing. The other adventures introduce binoculars,
using maps and finding
landmarks. Each episode
incorporates the value of
using tools to help solve
problems.
Teach children to respect nature and leave a
small footprint: It’s fun to
catch fish, but check size
requirements and throw
back fish that are too small.
Collect fireflies in a jar but
release them at the end of
the adventure. Help children remember to clean up
after themselves outside
and not litter.
Subscribe to a nature
magazine: Nature magazines can teach kids about
different aspects of nature
and help keep them interested during the colder
months when it’s not as
easy to spend time outside.
Look up: Teach children about the planets and
the constellations. Take a
lawn chair outside some
nights and look up at the
stars or plan a picnic at
dusk and watch the sun go
down. The changing sky
offers a fascinating show.
Take a child to the seashore at low tide: Point out
a few tide pools, give your
kids a bucket and let them
go. Then have fun discussing everything they bring
back.
Plan a visit to a children’s zoo or petting zoo:
Children love the opportunity to see animals in their
natural habitat and may
even have a chance to pet
or feed them. It’s another
wonderful way to spend
time outdoors together.
Visit natural history
museums: These museums offer information
about ecological systems
and various animals. They
often have special exhibits
and play areas specifically
for young children. Teaching your children to love
the natural world around
them can be one of the best
gifts you can give them.
The GOBA Riders Are Coming – 2,500 of Them!
NAPSI Photo
(NAPSI)—Fans of 3D
movies in theaters may
want to focus their attention on a new way to bring
home that experience.
A 3D-enabled projector offers the most viewing
pleasure. It’s the only way
to get a movie-theater-like
feel at home with the largest image possible. And
now there is a 3D-enabled
home theater projector that
shows crisp 2D movies
while wowing everyone
with its engaging 3D effects that can be displayed
on 100+-inch screens.

3D-enabled

an SXRD reflective liquid-crystal optical engine
coupled with Mitsubishi’s
own 2D–3D processing
technologies to create
high-brightness, high-contrast images that can be
described as true to their
original content and simply awesome.
Plus, many people
are excited about new
movies, sports and video
games that can be viewed
in 3D. For example, the
NFL’s preseason games
are broadcast in 3D and
several companies have
announced that they intend to broadcast the 2012
Olympics in 3D.
Urbana is preparing to
welcome about 2,500 bicyclists who will be riding into town Friday, June
24 on the next to last day
of the 23rd annual Great
Ohio Bicycle Adventure
(GOBA)—a bicycle tour
that covers a few hundred
miles over eight days.
The bicyclists will enter Urbana from the south
by way of State Route 54.
They’ll turn west onto
Powell Avenue and enter
the Champaign County
Fairgrounds to stop for
lunch and rest.
Besides stopping at
the fairgrounds, many of
the riders are expected to
check out local restaurants,
businesses and points of
interest before heading on
to Bellefontaine.
The Champaign County
Chamber of Commerce and
Visitors Bureau, the City
of Urbana and Simon Kenton Pathfinders have been
working together to help
prepare local businesses
and residents to welcome
the cyclists. They have
provided the GOBA tour
organizers and riders information about the city so
they’ll know what to expect
before they arrive.
Pat Thackery, who has
been involved with the effort on behalf of the Visitors Bureau, said that by
making a favorable impression on June 24, he hopes
that GOBA will consider
Urbana as an overnight stop
for a future ride. “We’ll
benefit from having the tour
come through the city, but
the greatest economic benefit comes to cities where
the tour stays overnight,”
he said.
He added that the planning group hopes riders
will plan return trips on
their own once they get a
taste of the community.
Since its beginning,
GOBA has been credited
with generating $10 million in tourism revenue in
the communities it passes
through and stays in.
The local GOBA group
is encouraging businesses to welcome the riders
with window displays and
residents to welcome and
cheer on the riders along
their planned route through
town.
When the riders will
be here: Most of the bicy-
clists are expected to ride
through Urbana between
10 a.m. and noon on June
24, while some will arrive
as early as 7 a.m. and some
will pedal out of town as
late as 2 p.m.
Route: After entering the fairgrounds from
Powell Avenue, the riders will depart from Park
Avenue, turn right (north)
onto South Main Street,
turn right onto East Water
Street, left onto South Kenton Street, right onto East
Court Street and left onto
East Lawn Avenue. From
there, they’ll ride on to
Bellefontaine.
About the riders: Riders are registered from every state of the U.S., every
Canadian province, as well
as other countries.

Employers Are From Mars, Workers Are From Venus
(NAPSI)—Workers
perceive college degrees
as less important for job
success than employers
do, they rate their job performance higher than their
bosses rate it and don’t
plan to learn a foreign
language—even though
employers say there’s a
growing demand for language skills in the global
economy.
You could say that employers are from Mars and
workers are from Venus.
To discover more about
the types of education
and skills needed for jobs
in the next 10 years, the
University of Phoenix Research Institute surveyed
employees and employers
in diverse industries. The
results, published in “The
Great Divide: Worker and
Employer Perspectives of
Current and Future Workforce Demands,” indicate that workers may be
underestimating the demands of the emerging job
market. More important,
they are not seeing eye to
eye with employers. This
perception gap is making
a tough economy even
worse for many workers
and job seekers.
Workers rated the demand for college degrees
lower than employers
did, even though research

to work independently, in
teams and in a multicultural environment, while
employers say they have
difficulty finding workers
with these skills.
The largest perception
gap, however, seems to
be in the area of foreign
language proficiency. Employers are seeing the need
for workers with skills in
Spanish, Chinese, Arabic and Russian, but few
workers intend to learn a
foreign language.

Benchwarmer or gamechanger?
How about that Dirk
Nowitzki? Game 4 of the
NBA playoffs. The guy’s
got a 102 fever, looks like
a wrung out dish rag, and
yet he goes out and makes
the critical shot at the rim
to knot the Maverick’s 2-2
tie with the Miami Heat.
Now I’m not saying I
agree with the team’s decision to conceal Nowitzki’s illness pre-game – he
looked pretty weak, not to
mention the germs he was
flinging around the court.
But you have to admire
the guy. He was not about
to let his team down.
Then there’s Lebron
James. The same game.
Perfectly healthy and yet
he can’t even score double
digits. His career-low 8
points in the game leaves
his team short with yet another game to play in Dallas. One commentator said
James is having trouble
finding where he fits in on
the team.
There’s some real practical application here.
We’re all a part of a
team, whether that team
is our family, our place
of employment, committees or boards where we
serve or even the Greater
Springfield community.
I’d like to say I’m a
Nowitzki 100 percent of
the time, but I have to admit, sometimes it’s just
easier to be a James. After
all, taking your team from
good to great, requires
work. If it was easy, everyone would do it. Sometimes we all need to be
reminded to step up our
game.
This week, I’d like to
encourage you to consider
what kind of player you
are. If you’re part of the
Buy Springfield team, are
you moving the process
along or are you waiting
for a Dwyane Wade to pick
up your slack? How about
the boards or committees
you serve on? Are you
taking the lead, working
through the obstacles to
make the agency/organization succeed or are you
just there warming a seat?
Just as with a plan that
falls short of delivering
on your goals, a plan that
is overly aggressive relative to your resources is
likely to lead to budget
frustration. Keeping goals
aligned with objectives is
a critical part of the process and essential to budgeting successfully.

Finally, how about
your role as a member of
the Greater Springfield
Community? Are you
out there promoting our
community? Are you participating in community
events that help improve
our quality of life, such as
supporting the parks and
the arts? Or are you among
those who put in little effort but spew out a lot of
complaining about what
needs to be done?
No matter the situation we can choose to be a
