Warning

Toledo Police “Assistance” may cost you. By Pat Nowak

As you know, in life, perception is everything. I want to tell you a story and give you my perception of an issue with the City of Toledo. On March 3, I was involved in an accident on Bancroft Street. My car was rendered undrivable. I could have called for a tow but was courteously approached by the police officer on the scene, asking if I needed a tow. At the time, I thought, “How nice that this officer is helping me.” (Little did I know.) Then I called my insurance agent and he said I should call for a tow. I told the agent that the helpful police officer had called one for me; he said, “In Toledo, that is not a good thing.” I called the police officer over and told him that I wanted the tow driver to take the car to my body shop. He then, and only then, informed me that he was taking the car to the Toledo Police impound lot– “that is the procedure,” I was told. I was floored– he NEVER told me this is what happens when the city calls the tow and I WOULD NEVER have allowed him to call a tow for me if I had known about this practice. When the tow driver came, I asked him if I could have him take my car to my body shop– he turned to look at the officer and then quickly told me “No.” I told the officer I did not want the tow and I wanted to call my own truck– he said this was not possible as the driver was already there. I then asked them to just push my car to a side street and I would have someone pick it up– the officer, and the driver, refused. My car was taken to the impound lot where I had to pay $200 to get it out ($125 for the tow and $75 for storage for three-anda-half days). Since then I have called towing companies in town and learned that rates range from $60-$80 for a tow; hardly the $125 I had to pay to have it taken to the impound lot. To hire another company to pick it up at the impound lot and take it to the body shop was added to the cost. I started looking on the web and read a story that WTOL did on the impound lot about the unfair practices of making money on innocent victims (which now include me) who had no idea that this is what happens when you allow the City of Toledo to assist you. The story suggested that the police department/City was going to review these questionable practices and address this issue. That is “code speak” for push it far under the rug so that it is forgotten about. I sent a letter dated March 28 to the Mayor of the City of Toledo; at the time of writing this article, I have heard nothing back from the city. So when you are confronted with a “courteous” police officer offering to assist you, be sure you get THE WHOLE STORY about what happens when you accept the assistance of the “nice” police officer. Don’t end up paying exorbitant costs when other arrangements are just a phone call away.

The Toledo Area Polka Society (TAPS) will sponsor the Third Annual Polish Summer Picnic June 16-17 at Oak Shade Grove Pavilion in Oregon. The two-day event features Jeff Mieczko’s Dynabrass of Waterford, MI on Friday, June 16, as well as The NuTones of western Pennsylvania and The Boys from Baltimore on Saturday, June 17. The Echoes of Poland, now in their 50th year, will perform on Saturday afternoon. The picnic will include authentic Polish food from Stanley’s Market, Ed Beczynski and the staff of Foccacia’s, and Zavotski’s Deli and an expanded bar featuring Polish beer, booths with authentic Polish baked goods, apparel, souvenirs, and a children’s area on Saturday. On Saturday afternoon, the Toledo Polish Genealogy Society will offer onsite genealogical research, and Eric Hite, IJ on the PolkaJammer Network, will broadcast live from 1-3pm. Adults 16-59, $8; age 65 and above, $6; children under 16, free. Hours are Friday 5-11pm and Saturday 2-11pm.

Pet health = your health You should never be forced to consider cost when dealing with a loved one’s health issues— and that includes pets. The Community Pet Care Clinic seeks to remove financial barriers from the conversation by setting up a special fund for pet owners. The pet hospital offers competitive rates for all and a portion of all services rendered goes towards assisting those who can’t afford treatments for their pets. While the services aren’t free, the clinic does work to minimize the burden or create a reasonable repayment schedule. Pets really can do wonders for extending the health and wellness of their owners and shouldn’t be exclusive to people with disposable income. Everyone deserves some of the joy that comes from owning a pet. To see if you qualify, contact the vet office. 8am-6pm, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday; 11am-7pm, Tuesday; 8am-1pm, Saturday. 4808 S. Detroit Ave. 419-214-1560. communitypetcareclinic.com

going to be in and out more. We try to make it so none of the meals get ruined or delayed.”

A big breakfast is key

The Firefighter Cooks of Station 7 The Iron Skillet has the Stories Story and photos by Lori King

Grocery shopping is always an adventure

If the vintage cast iron skillet of Station 7 could talk, what would it reveal? The seasoned pan would hopefully share some of the countless meals prepared on its scarred surface since the 1980s. Maybe it would divulge a few good tales told by hungry firefighters who sit around the two oval kitchen tables, sharing meals and therapy sessions between fire calls. Would it confess to the incident about 15 years ago when a faux pas resulted in a new kitchen? “This room holds a lot of smoke,” admitted firefighter John Martin, the guilty cook who still whips up his own recipes in that heavy, black, beloved pan. Martin, one of the volunteer cooks of Station 7, described how those types of mishaps could occur: “Sometimes when you’re cooking something and you get a run, you forget to turn the stove off or you turn the burner the wrong way, thinking you’re turning it off, but you’re really turning it on high. By the time you get back from the run, there is usually a surprise waiting for you.”

“It happens,” Martin shrugged. Station 7, located since 1873 on the corner of Franklin and Bancroft near downtown Toledo, is one of 19 stations within the Toledo Fire Department. Despite it being one of the busiest rescue squads in the nation, firefighters have developed a system for dealing with calls while cooking. But if Martin is at the kitchen helm and has to take a run in the middle of a meal, forced to abandon it and allow someone else to finish, he’ll yell, “Don’t mess it up!” as he’s rushing out the door.

He has his pride.

It is evident Martin takes great pleasure in his unofficial second job of firehouse cook, as he’s juggled both jobs for the past 24 years. Martin comes from a long line of firemen. When he was hired, five cousins were on the fire department, and his uncle and father were both retired firefighters. His father, Jack Martin, passed down the culinary skills to his son. “My father was on the job for 30 years, and he also cooked, so that’s where I kinda got it from. I grew up with it,” Martin recalled.

“When I was a kid, I didn’t spend a ton of time at the firehouse, but my father cooked there and at home, so I was always watching. That’s where I got my ability to cook.” Martin specializes in chili and soups, but he also likes to cook healthy meals. “Nowadays I try to cook things a bit healthier than maybe some of the stuff they were used to eating way back when,” he said. A lot of grilling. Chicken and turkey. More vegetables. “I’m trying to stay away from a lot of fats and fried stuff, though it doesn’t always work,” he confessed. “If you want things to taste good, there’s going to be something bad in them.” Martin mostly shares cooking duties with Patrick Lanahan and Mike Lester, though he said every firefighter on the squad can cook. “Pat and I usually cook lunch and dinner, depending on what rig we’re on. One rig is busier than the other, so whoever is going to cook is usually on the engine. It’s like that at most stations. “Here, whoever is on the busier rig probably will not cook because we’re

The morning cook is usually Lester, affectionately dubbed “the breakfast guy.” “And I tell you what,” Lanahan emphasized, “people talk about breakfast being the most important meal of the day….in true regards to Mike, he always gives up a very big breakfast first thing. “It’s a lot of food usage, but we’re a busy station,” Lanahan explained. “When we get those (big breakfasts), and we don’t come back until one or two o’clock and the only thing we’ve had so far was breakfast, we would have been wiped out without it.” Lanahan, who has been a fireman for a decade, started cooking when he was fairly young. “My mom and dad were divorced, and my mom was working two jobs and going to school full-time, so we basically had to fend for ourselves. She taught us a lot about cooking and selfsufficiency, so I started learning that way,” he said. “When I was 15, I started working at Park Avenue Café as a dishwasher, and worked my way up to a prep cook, and then a line cook. When that closed, I went to Albon Inn Again, Adams Place, and then Ciao! when I was in college,” Lanahan recalled. “But I always wanted to be a firefighter, though it took a while for me to get hired. I got my education in Fire Science, and at that time they just weren’t hiring, and when they were, there were small classes of eight to 10. So it took me longer to get here. Just the same, I’m glad to be here. “To me, it’s therapeutic to cook, and an honor to share a meal with the crew. I like working hard in the kitchen to give them a good meal because they all work hard, so to me that’s a tribute to them. If I make a bad one, then it’s a bad day,” he said. Lanahan said he likes to cook Italian food because of the freshness of the ingredients, the fresh vegetables, and a lot of grilling. “Though one thing I want to mention, as far as working in the inner city goes,” Lanahan added with concern in his voice, “is how difficult it can be trying to get some of the produce you want. “You got grocery stores that are close by, but look at how much you

The house gathers for a communal meal.

Since fire crews eat together, they also shop together. On a recent grocery shopping spree, Martin led a crew of four to Kroger on Alexis Rd. near Lewis Ave., where they

loaded their cart with sausage for lunch and steaks for dinner, as well as brussels sprouts, milk, wheat bread, hot dog buns and potato chips. At the checkout counter, Martin handed the cashier a wad of cash he had collected from all seven firefighters on their shift that day. For those shoppers who witnessed their purchase of nearly seven pounds of steak and assumed it was a luxury item paid for by the city, they were mistaken. “That’s a common misconception,” pointed out firefighter Luke Wentz. “When we’re shopping at Kroger, folks come by and they think the city’s paying for our food. It’s not the case.”

pay for that produce, and the quality of the produce; it’s actually horrific. I feel bad for the people who live close by who don’t have transportation to get fresh produce. “It’s great when the Farmer’s Market is in full force, but a lot of people don’t have the ability to get down there to get quality produce. So we shop out of district a lot just to get things we need, or shop before we come in.”

The character of the stove is as unique as the concoctions created upon it. Martin explained that at Station 7, they have seven guys on his shift, so that’s $70 to work from. “Sometimes we might only spend $50 at the grocery store, and that $20 carries over. When we build up an extra $100, we spend it on prime rib and lobster, but we pay for it ourselves.”

Martin explained that Toledo firefighters are also responsible for buying most of the amenities and comforts inside their stations. The city basically only provides a stove and a refrigerator. The firefighters pay for everything else. “Some stations will have a lot of things, like televisions and recliners, and some stations won’t have much at all because guys don’t want to pay for it. The city provides us with very little,” he said.

Typically, firefighters will pitch in $10 for every day they work, and an additional $12 from each paycheck for essentials around the station, which includes cable television, the internet, cooking ingredients, smokers, big grills, and even their pots and pans. “There are pots and pans from the guys back in the ’70s and ’80s that are still in these engine houses,” exclaimed firefighter Adam Bonnell as someone pulled out the old iron skillet to make his point. “There were so many good meals made out of those pots and pans, and we still use some of them. There’s a lot of history in that frying pan,” he said. Yes, if only that skillet could talk.

What’s a tip readers can use to immediately benefit from your industry?

A tip that readers can immediately benefit from is to understand that they can choose where they want to go for rehabilitation after a hospital stay for a surgery or illness. They, as the patients, have the right to decide the best place for their recovery. It does not have to be the doctor’s or the hospital’s decision. The hospital should provide a list of choices, and each patient can make the best decision based on what factors are most important to them. Most companies, like Genacross Lutheran Services, have an employee who can visit them in the hospital and answer questions.

How did you personally get started in your field?

My background is as a CPA, and many of my early clients were health care clients in the long-term care services field. Over the years, I developed a knowledge base and connectivity to these services. I left the CPA firm to work for a healthcare company that operated acute care hospitals and nursing homes. Eventually, I moved to the nonprofit, faith-based side of the industry because of the mission-driven focus, similar to what I found when I came to Genacross Lutheran Services. June 2017

Something people might not know about me is I was a Bowling Green Falconette. Our ice skating team performed at the Bowling Green ice hockey games. We even performed at the Joe Lewis Arena.

Beside your own, what’s your favorite local business?

Besides my own business, my favorite business in the Toledo Area is Great Finds of Maumee. I enjoy stopping in this small local business almost monthly and always come away with a great find. They specialize in furniture painting and can turn anything into a treasure for someone. I always get new ideas for decorating my home and come away with gift ideas for others. The owners are very warm and welcoming!! If you’ve never been, I highly recommend you take the time to stop in and browse around.

How did you personally get started in your field?

I really wanted to help people understand their bodies and their medications in a way that encourages them to take care of themselves.

What’s something people might not realize about your industry?

An independent pharmacy offers more personalized care because we have more time to spend with individual patients. Our pharmacists are able to spend time with each patient, getting to know each one of them and their medications.

Why is buying/working local important?

We’re a service provider, so nearly all of our patients are local. We use local suppliers for our business and shop local at home because we love supporting the people that support us. If it wasn’t for this great community, we couldn’t do what we love, so we’re happy to return the favor.

What is your business motto and why did you choose it?

Treat every patient like a good friend. We really believe that our patients deserve to be treated as friends, because they’re the reason we can do this.

What’s a hardship you’ve had to overcome to get to where you are now?

See the full interviews online at mlivingnews.com

Because we do cosmetic and lifestyle medicine, we are often credited with changing a patient’s life for the better. While flattering, we’d like to point out that the patient is responsible for that, and we’re just happy to help in whatever way we can. Continued on p 14

When I took over leadership of the funeral home, I began to grow by purchasing other funeral homes. The second major purchase I completed initially did not do as well as I projected. It took a long time before it was successful. It was very difficult to keep all staff employed and continue to improve our facilities and offerings while cash flow was negative.

What’s something people might not realize about your industry?

People don’t realize the amount of time that goes into serving well every family that we serve. Additionally, that there is a big difference between funeral homes. 80 percent of people believe that all funeral homes are the same. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

What is a valuable life lesson you’ve learned from being in business?

A valuable life lesson that I’ve learned is that no matter what a client’s race, religion, political affiliation, or sexual preference are, they have more in common with other clients than they have differences. They all want to be treated with respect. They want their phone calls returned promptly and they want me to help them achieve their financial goals.

What’s your weirdest work story?

I received a phone call from a client during the late afternoon on a Friday. She was an elderly lady who lived on a small farm 40 miles south of Toledo. She was very excited and wanted me to know that she had unexpectedly inherited a very large sum of money from a friend. She was anxious to get this money invested. Being that my wife and I had dinner plans for that evening, I suggested scheduling an appointment for Monday. She said there was no way she could sleep over the weekend with that large of a check in her house. I called my wife and we adjusted our dinner plans. I drove down to her farm with much anticipation as to the size of her inheritance. She had inherited $1,000.00. No, that is not a typo. One thousand dollars. The lesson for me was that having grown up during the depression and having to work hard for everything she had, this was a large inheritance to her.

What’s a tip readers can use to immediately benefit from your industry?

Live within your means. Have written financial goals which you should track and review at least annually.

How did you personally get started in this field?

I volunteered for another senior meal company and, loved every part of the experience, especially the people. My husband, David Avalos, said “You love this so much, let’s do it ourselves.” And that’s how we started.

What is the best piece of advice you’ve been given?

When we acquired this business, the previous owner told us to always use the highest-quality ingredients, and everything else will take care of itself.

What is something people might not realize about your industry?

Most other companies send out frozen dinners, we cook our food ourselves, and it is delivered fresh to our clients. We do large fresh salads, and offer a menu of 16 fresh items each week to choose from.

Finding a new home for your love one is one of the hardest things you will have to do.

We obtained small loans, but mostly added and improved as we could afford it, which is true of most businesses like ours. We have chosen a seasonal business, so that comes with either finding ways to make an income in the off season or making enough during the spring and summer to carry through the rest of the year - much like farmers. In the early years we would set up in malls at Christmas time and sell crafts, furniture and garden items to carry us through.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Important about Your Credit Score

The wrong score can cost you money By Pat Nowak

We often do not think much about our credit scores. After all, if you have money, what do you need to know about your credit score? Actually your credit score could be costing you thousands of dollars on a car loan or mortgage. Many people underestimate the true cost of a low credit score. They also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that credit scores can be used by creditors and noncreditors to determine how they will handle your purchase.

Credit score facts

419-479-5820

Believe it or not, your credit score directly influences the interest rate credit card companies will offer you; a higher rate is tied to lower credit scores. Additionally, insurance companies, landlords and utility companies use that score to determine if you need to put down a deposit or what type cell phone plan you are eligible for. You might be familiar with credit scores from the three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion), but scores are available from many sources. Credit scores from the three credit bureaus use either FICO or VantageScore. Like FICO, the current VantageScore 3.0 model ranges scores from 300 to 850, an update from its old range of 501 to 990. A new model for assessing credit scores uses trended data. People who

are paying down their loans receive a higher score than those who just pay the minimum balance.

Impacting your score

Think again before running up that credit card balance, missing a payment or declaring bankruptcy. It is so much easier to lower your score than to raise it. If you miss a few payments, it might take years to get your credit score to a comfortable level. Inaccurate information can influence your credit report. It is up to you to make sure your credit report is accurate. You should check it once a year at www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228. You must comparison shop for credit. Just look at credit card offers you receive to see the different rates that you are being offered. You should take the time to shop around for better mortgage, credit card or loan rates. Be cautious of credit repair companies. They often charge high rates for something you can do yourself. If you feel that you are over your head in debt, talk to a certified credit counselor, who is qualified to assist you to improve your credit. Test your credit score knowledge at CFA and VantageScoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creditscorequiz.org and learn more.

age children to convey their thoughts and emotions using various activities to include music, art, play and journaling. Bostater, who holds a master’s degree in art therapy in clinical counseling, said, “As soon as I came in here and saw the facility and met Dorothy and I found out about their mission, it was an excellent opportunity to be involved in something that is so much bigger than so many of us.”

Good Grief: A Place To Heal A safe place to talk By Pamela Crabtree “Good gravy,” “Good luck,” “Good gracious” and the familiar “Good Grief” are well-known words of exclamation. But Good Grief of Northwest Ohio is putting the “good” in grief. Without minimizing the heartache after the death of a loved one, whether they are a parent, sibling or grandparent, the organization offers “a safe, healing environment where people of all ages come together to comfort, grieve and support each other,” according to Dorothy Mockensturm, managing director. Good Grief of Northwest Ohio, located at 7015 Spring Meadows Drive West, Suite 201 in Holland, OH, was incorporated and received a 501(c) 3 designation as a nonprofit organization and began working with families in 2013. Mockensturm joins Shanon Bostater, program director, and Patricia Czerminski, office manager, in fulfilling the group’s mission to “provide support for children, teens,

young adults, and their families, who have experienced the death of someone significant in their lives.”

Helpful for adults, too

One of the benefits of supporting a child or teen in the program is that it allows the adult parent/caregiver the opportunity to attend their own grief support group meetings while kids’ groups are in session.“When a grandparent becomes a caregiver– due to the death of a child’s parent, the adult is not only dealing with their own grief, but also left to help the grandkids cope as well,” Bostater said. Sustained solely through taxdeductible donations, Good Grief of Northwest Ohio does not receive government funding, Mockensturm said. To contact Good Grief call 419-3604939 or e-mail Dorothy@goodgriefnwo.org or visit its website, goodgriefnwo.org/contact.

Programs to deal with loss

According to The National Center for Biotechnology Information, a database of the National Institutes of Health, an estimated “5 percent of children in the United States– 1.5 million– lose one or both parents by age 15,” so programs such as Good Grief are vital in dealing with bereavement. Although “our program is specifically for the kids, we also support the adults that are caring for those kids,” said Mockensturm. Currently working with approximately 60 individuals, the program also assists grandparents who are helping their grandchildren cope with the death of a parent, providing much-needed support for adult caregivers over the age of 50. Because Good Grief is free and open-ended, “the families decide

when they want to start with us and close from our services,” said Mockensturm. Trained facilitators lead ageappropriate peer groups that encour-

Health Bariatric Surgery

Can it help you? By Stephen Roberts PhD It is obvious to even the most casual observer that we have a serious problem with obesity in our society. An individual who has a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or more is considered obese. BMI is computed by use of both height and weight measures. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) a person who is 5 foot 2 inches tall is considered obese at 164 pounds or over. To determine your own BMI and obesity status go to https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/ educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/ educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmi_tbl.htm According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey more than 33 percent of adults are obese and 5 percent of adults are extremely obese. Obesity is an important health issue as it and according to the CDC can, among other things, lead to: • High blood pressure • Increased risk of diabetes • Coronary heart disease • Sleep apnea Many people are unhappy with being obese and make attempts to bring their weight under control. The problem, of course, is that losing weight and keeping it off is very challenging. Bariatric surgery is an option many are choosing to cope with their obesity. According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) 196,000 bariatric surgeries were completed in 2015 in the United States. According to the ASMBS website the Sleeve Gastrectomy procedure removes 80 percent of the stomach. A tubular pouch is made out of the remaining stomach tissue. The procedure has an impact on the amount of food that can be consumed because the newly formed pouch holds considerably less food. The surgery also has an impact on gut hormones that have a positive impact on the patient’s hunger, feeling of being fed and blood sugar.

In the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass a small part of the stomach is made into an egg-sized pouch. This smaller stomach is connected directly to the middle portion of the small intestine bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine. As well as the outcomes mentioned in the Sleeve procedure, this procedure also causes a section of the small intestine to be bypassed, resulting in less absorption of calories in this procedure. Brenda Bal, a Certified Bariatric Nurse with Mercy Health Weight Management Solutions, at 3930 Sunforest Court, in Toledo, informed me that in order to qualify for this type of surgery an individual would need to have a BMI of 40. If an individual also had conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes a BMI of 35 would be sufficient to qualify. Bal also indicated that the benefits of bariatric surgery may include improved quality of life, decrease in need for medications, improved body image and improved confidence levels. The ASMBS website also indicates that the surgery has a significant likelihood of resolving or improving type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea and high cholesterol. According to Bal, the preparation time to get ready for surgery averages about six months. Some things to expect are being asked to eliminate carbonation, eat slowly, work to improve hydration, be mindful of the amount of protein in your meal plan and to take a multivitamin and calcium for life. In a 2016 article in Obesity News Today it was stated that gastric bypass surgery leads to 65 percent of excess weight being lost after two years while sleeve gastrectomy resulted in 56 percent of excess weight loss after two years. According to the Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery at Columbia University the risk of death for gastric bypass surgery is one half of one percent while complications including bleeding occur in less than 2 percent of patients.

Re-Cracking The Rib-Cage Maumee’s longtime restaurant gets fresh owners By Jeff Klima If you haven’t been to The Rib-Cage in a while, go back. Regardless of your reason for staying away from this Maumee bistro, it’s time to venture over for an evening of casual, cozy ambiance, a fun, attentive waitstaff and fall-off-the-bone ribs. Or maybe their expertly grilled steaks are more your thing? The subdued, almost stashed-away restaurant is buried in the back of a shopping center off Conant St., and has been operating off and on for roughly 40 years. But over that span, it’s also, for better or worse, changed hands a few times. “We hadn’t been here for many years,” Tracey Saba, the new co-owner of The Rib-Cage, says plainly of the restaurant. “The original owners did very, very well here. Then there was another guy— it didn’t go well.” The restaurant shuttered in 2016. But that attracted the attention of Saba and her husband, Bruce, both notable Toledo restaurateurs. “We decided to check into buying it. And then Brenda [Kaufman], who worked here for 14 years, was looking into buying it as well. And so we decided to do it as a partnership,” explains Saba.

Restoring not remaking Saba and Kaufman’s first order of business was restoring the eatery to its former glory. “We came in, cleaned it up, painted it and changed the menu a little, but kept the name because it’s been here for so long,” Saba says.They did add a little something to the original name though— it’s now B&T’s Rib Cage, for Brenda and Tracey. They decided to maintain the overall vibe of the restaurant. “Most of the menu is the same. We added a few new things, but obviously we kept the ribs,” Saba says. Even the chef is the same one from the good old days. Head chef Jeff Williams, doesn’t mince words with his assortment of sharp knives: “I’ve been here off and on going on 40 years,” he says. “I got fired from the old restaurant because the guy wanted his stepson to have a job here. His stepson couldn’t cook. They lost all their business and finally, he just closed.”

A life in food Williams was working at the Holiday Inn across the street when Saba brought him back to the kitchen he knows best. And if her name sounds familiar, perhaps it’s because you’re familiar with her from Saba’s Charcoal House. “I’ve been in the restaurant business all my life— since I was born,” Saba says of had a few in, but it takes a while to get your name her hosting qualifications.

Becky Fuhrman and Don Leary

A Stately Art Deco Home

by Pat Nowak

PHOTOS BY MICHAEL NEMETH

Don Leary and Becky Fuhrman fell in love with a grand home in Rossford built in 1938. The house had great assets but the traffic flow was inefficient and the interior was in disarray. They saw huge potential and spent several years turning it into an Art Deco wonderland. A new floor plan, utilizing the existing garage and turning it into the kitchen, opened up the area and allowed for a spacious dining and great room, perfect for their annual Kentucky Derby party. They enlarged the home with a second floor wing featuring a gallery for Don and added a delightful screened in porch off the master bedroom where they can enjoy the river scenery. The decorating is a combination of transitional and contemporary and is gracious and sophisticated. Unique objects dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;art and furniture present a well designed picture. The exterior of the home is Art Deco at its best with clean lines and rounded windows. The eye-catching street number and landscaping finish this striking home.
