A long

and

art-filled life

101-year-old WALTER CHAPMAN’s works on display in Perrysburg

W

by David Yonke

ith a twinkle in his bright blue eyes, Walter Chapman laughed off a question about his secret to longevity.

“How the hell do I know?” he asked with a smile and a shrug.

An artist who has won numerous awards worldwide for his watercolor and oil paintings, Chapman turned 101 last year on Pearl Harbor Day (Dec. 7th).

He said he tries to eat well, including plenty of fresh fruit, and was active in sports most of his life. He played football at Scott High School— until he got knocked out and was told he couldn’t play any longer—and then took up tennis.

Chapman has been using a wheelchair since he took a fall in his Sylvania home several years ago, breaking a leg in three places. That’s when his wife, Jean, decided to close the Chapman Art Gallery in downtown Sylvania, which she had run for 30 years, and spend more time caring for her husband.

While Chapman is not as mobile as he used to be, he stays active and still enjoys painting and sketching.

READS THREE BOOKS A WEEK He reads three books a week, mostly mysteries by such authors as James Patterson and John Grisham, and loves watching sports on television.

Jean a spry 93, has a theory why her husband of 51 years (it was a second marriage for both) is such a vibrant and vital centenarian: his peaceful personality and positive outlook.“He is a very sweet, kind, thoughtful soul,” she said. “He doesn’t have any agitation or anger in him. He has good feelings.

Now that doesn’t mean he can’t get angry...”

Walter interjects a story about when he was a student at the Cleveland School of Art and had a friend who was a professional boxer. “He taught me to fight and I got pretty good, even though I never really was a fighter.”

One day the two were walking past a fraternity house when the frat boys started hurling insults.

“We stopped and my friend said, ‘Walter, pick out anyone you want and I’ll handle the rest.’ We walked up to their yard and he said, ‘Come on.’ He knocked them out with one punch. I didn’t have any problem with my guy because he had taught me how to box. The rest of them retreated back to their porch, and we said goodbye.”

That was an aberration, though an unforgettable one, for the peaceful painter. But it wasn’t the only time he experienced violence firsthand.Chapman was a sergeant in World War II and was stationed on the front lines during the Battle of the Bulge.

Sketches of Army life He brought his art equipment with him and captured many scenes of Army life while advancing through France and Germany. (“But my real job was to kill a few Germans,” he said.).

“He went out with a big sheet of white paper to do the painting,” Jean added, “and it was like a target. They started shooting at him while he was trying to paint!”

His WWII artworks have been featured in a number of books, in the Brown University Military Collection, and in the military newspaper Stars & Stripes. Chapman said all he ever wanted to be was an artist. “When I was just a kid I was doing drawings, from the very beginning. I used to do

little portraits of people because I like to do faces.”

He also loves painting landscapes, and specialized in watercolors because they are easy to use while traveling. He has carried his easel and supplies literally around the world, painting scenes from the Maumee River to Notre Dame Cathedral to the Taj Mahal.

Chapman said he never tried to copy other artists’ styles, but followed his own creativity—developing a light and spirited touch that can crystallize a scene without getting lost in the details.

Do your own thing “It’s always easier to do your own thing,” he said. “I don’t like to copy other people—but they can copy me if they want to!”

Chapman has taught scores of local students, holding classes in his Sylvania home for decades. Many have kept in touch with their kind and patient instructor. One even married him. Jean met Walter when she was his student.

Their relationship is so loving, Jean said, that she believes it contributes to living long and fruitful lives. “He’ll say, ‘I need a hug,’ or, ‘I need a kiss.’” Jean said. “It happens all the time.”

“Walter Chapman: People, Places, and Things,” an exhibit featuring 28 paintings, is on display through Aug. 16 in the Perrysburg Municipal Building, 201 Indiana Ave. Some artworks are for sale, priced from $800 to $2,500. Information: 419-324-4758 or info@mainart-ery.com.

The financial implications of moving back home are crucial for the parents and the adult child. If he or she has income and can pay rent and contribute to food costs, they should. One ground rule that can be especially helpful is to schedule regular bank savings “checkups” with your son or daughter to make sure they are holding up their end of the financial bargain.

Agree on a set amount to be saved that would be enough for your child to get his or her own place–and make sure it happens. A boomerang situation doesn’t have to be a negative experience. If you can view it as a teachable moment, then perhaps some personal financial concepts can be forged that will stay with your children the rest of their lives.

But preferably in their own residence, and the sooner the better.

Kim Bryson of Perrysburg:

Thankful for the ‘boomerang’ opportunity

by Hannah Benson

“As soon as I got home and realized how much I missed it, with being so far away for school, it was hard to think about leaving again anytime soon,” said Kim Bryson, 22, of Perrysburg.

Bryson, who recently graduated from Niagara University with a degree in early childhood and special education, played college softball and the time demands of athletics prevented her from working while she was a student. That is one of the reasons she moved back in with her parents.

“I think it’s a good option for those who aren’t quite ready to be on their own,” she said. “Whether they don’t have the money, they’re unsure about their future and where they want to be, or even if they just want to stay in the same city, it doesn’t make sense to pay for an apartment if your parents are willing to take you in for some time.”

Bryson said it was a big change, replacing a life filled with softball and schoolwork with spending her time searching for a job to cover her living expenses.

She enjoys being home and the independence that her parents let her have as a boomerang kid, allowing her to make her own decisions.

“I offer up a lot of help when I can because I am thankful they allowed me to move back in,” she said.

She has given herself a timeline of one year to find a job, decide where she wants to live, and save money to support herself.

Health Notes

Health and optimism

Scents and Sensitivity

Be careful of chemicals in the fragrances you use

by Alice Marson Everyone likes to smell good, but smelling good should not be injurious to your health or the health of others.

Many perfumes and fragrance ingredients are derived and produced by chemical synthesis of petroleum and contain hazardous chemicals that present potential health risks.

It’s smart to keep in mind that anything you put on your skin or inhale is absorbed into the bloodstream.

Some of the chemicals used in fragrances can trigger allergic reactions resulting in headaches, wheezing, vomiting, reduced pulmonary function, asthma, lung irritation and contact dermatitis.

Other serious potential health risks include hormone disruption, sperm damage, thyroid effects, and endocrine problems.

Not listed on labels While some of the toxic chemicals found in perfumes are also found in cigarette smoke and gasoline, perfume ingredients, like those used in toxic cleaning products, are not required by the federal Food and Drug Administration to be listed on the label.

Three of the most common chemicals found in perfumes are benzaldehyde, benzyl acetate, and ethanol.

Lab tests commissioned by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, the Environmental Working Group, found 91 different chemicals in 17 products. Some of the popular products in the study included Hannah Montana Secret Celebrity, Britney Spears Curious, Calvin Klein Eternity for Men, Halle by Halle Berry, and Jennifer Lopez J. Lo Glow. These products, just a few of the many, are not condemned by the FDA, but contain harmful chemicals on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste List.

They are being sold and used by the general public every day.

Keep in mind that anything you put on your skin or inhale is absorbed into the bloodstream.

Another health concern is the quality of indoor air. Numerous reports have described the “sick building syndrome” associated with the air quality in public buildings. The contamination of indoor air can be not only from perfumes, but also from a variety of sources, including construction materials, fabrics, furnishings, maintenance supplies, adhesives, paint, caulks, paper, and cleaning products.

Steve Ganss, co-owner of Toledo Duct Clean, said people who call his business are often having respiratory problems. “Dust, mold and allergens build up in

August 2014 ● Toledo

the ducts over time, whether it’s a residential building or a business.

Many people don’t get their ducts cleaned as often as they should,” Ganss said.

Workplace illnesses When it comes to fragrances, people are becoming increasingly sensitive to the chemicals. For many, fragrances in perfumes can be overwhelming and nauseating.

People can become ill from the inconsiderate use of fragrances in shared workspaces.

It stands to reason that perfume should make one smell good—not make one ill. The fragrance from perfumes, cosmetics, or whatever, should be organic and, if possible, 100% natural.

So, if you would like to smell good, try natural essential oils, of which there are dozens. Lavender is a very popular, recognizable, and delightful one. Personally, I like patchouli.

A new survey by the Dallas-based United States of Aging found that Americans 60 and older are more motivated than in the past two annual surveys to improve their health by exercising regularly and setting health goals— two simple steps that also relate to reported increases in optimism among seniors. According to the survey, more than one-third of seniors (37%) say they exercise every day, compared to 26% in 2013. And among seniors who exercise daily, 28% say the past year has been better than normal, compared to 15% overall.

Crossword Solution

Hiking, cruising in Europe

Retired teacher finds her travel groove on trip with teens

I

by Christine A. Holliday

n record numbers, those 65 and older are taking off on cruises, hiking adventures, visiting historic site, and traveling overseas, all helping them keep active and stay involved in the world around them.

JoAnne Wayton, 73, of Lambertville, MI, is one such traveler.

She recently joined a group of high school girls and her daughter to see sites in Spain and Italy. As it turns out, she experienced hiking, cruising, lots of history, and overseas culture as the group spent nine days on the go. She walked on the cobblestone streets of Zaragosa, hiked up the hilly streets of Toledo, Spain, and enjoyed an overnight ferry ride from Barcelona to Rome.

She visited museums, cathedrals, plazas, and palaces, making friends with fellow travelers as young as her grandchildren.

First taste of ‘big travel’ A retired nurse and teacher, Wayton traveled on short trips with groups of singles before her marriage. But she had her first taste of “big travel” when she and her husband, John, took a trip to Las Vegas.

During their 47-year marriage, the Waytons enjoyed 14 cruises, including one through the Panama Canal. She notes that she has traveled to every country in Central and South America.

The Waytons also traveled to Hawaii and Alaska and made two pilgrimage tours to Italy, both of which focused on Catholic religious sites. JoAnne still smiles when she describes how close she sat to thenPope Benedict XVI. She reads voraciously about sites she might visit, and hopes to visit the Holy Land in the future.

So, how does a savvy senior traveler (who has traveled almost exclusively with other couples) end up sharing a European vacation

From Toledo, Ohio, to Toledo Spain: Retiree JoAnn Wayton and her daughter, Marie Blesing, pause and pose in Toledo, Spain.

with high school girls and their moms and teachers?

JoAnne’s daughter, Marie Blesing, teaches at St. Ursula Academy, where the Spanish teacher was organizing a trip to Madrid, Toledo and Barcelona, Spain, and Rome. Marie wanted to go, and asked her mom to be part of the group, which included 34 students, teachers, and moms. The average age of the group was 28, with plenty of student athletes—a mix of energy and enthusiasm that might have worried a not-so-experienced traveler. But JoAnne wasn’t concerned.

‘I’m not old’ “I’m not old at 73,” she said. “I wondered why they were asking me if I was OK. I felt some fatigue that first day—after the overnight flight—but we all did. After that day, I was an old hand at the walking. I enjoyed riding with the girls on the bus and the metro; we had wonderful exchanges about what we were seeing and eating as we went from one city to the next. They all watched out for me, making sure I didn’t fall behind, and I enjoyed seeing how they responded to sailing on the Mediterranean, seeing the making of Toledo blades, and attending Mass in Rome.”

She continued: “I had read a lot before we left for the trip, but I was still surprised by some things. I had no idea a place like the Royal Palace in Madrid could have 1,400 bedrooms, and I had never tried tapas before. I enjoyed seeing a different side to the teacher-student relationship than one I had experienced in the classroom.

There was a lot of learning and plenty of laughing!”

Wayton has advice for other seniors thinking about traveling: “Do it!

Go! If you don’t try, you’ll never know what you’re missing!”

Home Movie Video Review:

Movie Reviews Storytelling, special effects lift ‘Apes’ Dawn of the Planet of the Apes HHH

by Michael Siebenaler This high-quality film continues the saga of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar (extremely well played by Andy Serkis—Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies). His presence seeps through his ape image as he gives Caesar unique features in his role as leader.

He looks around at every ape to get a sense of their feelings before making decisions, helping audiences relate to the ape community. The initial confrontation between humans and apes (alone worth the price of admission) showcases Caesar’s newly found leadership.

Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty) and Gary Oldman (Dark Knight) play Malcolm and Dreyfus, two leaders of the human group. Both speak volumes with their actions, and Dreyfus’ interaction with his tablet computer without dialogue justifies supplementary back stories for each leader.

Keri Russell (Mission Impossible III, TV’s The Americans) plays Malcolm’s wife Ellie while Caesar also has a pregnant wife and an older son “learning the ropes” alongside him. The special effects, storytelling, direction, and makeup are so good here that audiences can immerse themselves into this fantasy world where humans seek survival and apes form their society.

Matt Reeves replaces previous director Rupert Wyatt and is a big reason why this film succeeds on so many levels. The story impacts on a high level thanks to screenwriters Scott Z. Burns, Amanda Silver, Rick Jaffa, and Mark Bomback.

Recommended (***) and rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and brief strong language.

Boredom HHH What is boredom and where does it come from? Can one really be "bored to death'? And how can you fight it?

Director Albert Nerenberg (Laughology, Stupidity) continues investigating personality characteristics that everyone addresses every day in this high-quality documentary.

This film offers great perspectives and approaches to boredom, taking a fairly satirical tone while considering other social factors, education, and technology usage. The bonus feature almost equals the film’s running time and includes two quick featurettes and the 48-minue “A Revolutionary Accelerated Unboring Version for the Easily Bored.

Really!” This is a very entertaining and solidly recommended documentary.

herself ) was discovered by bandleader Xavier Cugat, who married her when she was 15. She later claimed it was a business deal so she could legally move to the United States. Upon becoming a U.S. citizen in 1978, she divorced Cugat.

Charo began appearing on U.S. television shows in the mid-60s and by the mid-70s was in many TV series’ and game shows. As viewers tired of her, Charo “Cuchi-cuchi’d” her way off of television.

She remarried and moved to Hawaii to open a dinner theater where

she could perform with her number one love— flamenco guitar.

Twenty years later, she was asked to appear in a reality series called The Surreal Life, and returned to Los Angeles.

Interest in Charo was rekindled and she has parodied herself in commercials for Sprint and Geico, and performs on cruise ships.
