As a Judge of the Juvenile Court, one of your key strategies was to reach out to the parents of troubled youths.

How did you decide this was important?

When I began to realize that in most cases, the parent needed as much help as the child. Changing the home environment is critical if you want to help a troubled child.

by Jordan Killam Tell us a little bit about your latest project, the Parent Center at Lourdes University?

The Parent Center at Lourdes University will use education, research and outreach to inform policy makers and promote practices that empower and support parents in their primary responsibility for the care, nurturing and education of their children.

Changing the policies of institutions to reflect the critical role of parents is the challenge. Parents are primarily responsible for taking care of their children—not the community.

You were an early board member of the Toledo Mountain mentors and the organization still exists today. What makes its mission so special?

The Mountain Mentor program is a combination of “Outward Bound” and “Big Brother” programs. It’s the bonding that takes place between mentor and child while hiking in the “Mountains” together that makes the program successful. In many cases the “mentor-child” bonding lasts a lifetime.

What legacy do you hope to leave for Toledo's legal community... and beyond?

When I moved from Municipal Court Judge to Family Court Judge in 1975, I heard both divorces and juvenile cases. I soon learned that my divorce docket occupied 90 percent of my time. The juvenile docket was being managed almost entirely by staff, and the demand of attorneys in divorce cases got all the attention of the judges. Juveniles could not afford attorneys.

With the help of Rep. Barney Quilter, we were able to create a separate Juvenile Court for Lucas County. The Juvenile Court Judge is now able to spend his/her entire time on juvenile matters—a dramatic shift in the legal community of Lucas County. It made a huge difference on how juvenile matters were prioritized. And it is there that I fell in love with parents—the most important people on earth.

n the chilly autumn months, it’s not always easy to get off the couch and get moving. But staying active and committing to a healthy lifestyle doesn’t just warm you up; it also improves your mood, lowers blood pressure and decreases your risk of heart disease. Seasonal affective disorder be gone—Here’s how some local health experts stay fit and healthy when cold weather hits.

5012 Talmadge Rd., Toledo; 4359 Keystone Dr., Maumee 419-474-9611, 419-893-0221 jonfrankeldentistry.com How do you stay active in the winter season?

As part of my commitment to a healthy lifestyle, I’m active year-round. I work out at the gym. I love running in Wildwood Park; it’s beautiful throughout all four seasons.

How do you make healthy habits last?

Any habit takes commitment, repetition and dedication. Mental toughness is the key to becoming the best you can be.

If we looked in your refrigerator right now, what would we see?

What’s the best cold-weather activity in the city?

Ice skating at the Toledo Zoo.

How do you make healthy habits last?

It takes 21 days to create a habit. You have to be dedicated to make a change. Once you make the change and you feel better you will keep doing it!

What’s the most rewarding aspect of your job?

I love to watch my clients achieve their goals.

Especially in the elderly. It is truly amazing what the body can accomplish even at an older age!

How do you stay active in the winter season?

I like to stay active in the winter by shoveling snow. I also enjoy sledding and snowmobiles in the winter.

Who do you admire, and why?

I admire my clients for the hard work and dedication they give each and every workout. Many have struggled for years with different issues yet they keep moving forward to accomplish their goals.

First and foremost, our signature homemade pickles. The recipe had been passed down from generation to generation and the entire family gets together each year to make pickles. You would also find leftovers and fresh produce, including MacQueen’s apples and cider.

What’s in your current workout playlist?

Drake, Wiz Khalifa and my wife’s salsa music!

What’s your best holiday memory?

It has to be what we do each Thanksgiving.

We provide free dental care to those less fortunate. We’re honored to help our community.

Who do you admire, and why?

I admire our patients, many of whom work hard and are dedicated to their oral and overall health.

Name one thing that’s changed your lifestyle: Growing up playing competitive tennis and other sports taught me that being my best takes hard work and determination. With these things, success will follow.

What’s most rewarding about your job?

Seeing my patients smile. Bringing about the transformation from a patient unable to show their teeth to a beautiful, beaming and confident mile is simply the best.

Shedding Light on sleep disorders

by Michael Pierce

t’s no secret: For many people, daily life is characterized by high stress, short nights, long working hours and lots of caffeine.

For people 50 and older, these problems are coupled with the higher probability for conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity.

A good night’s sleep plays an important part in leading a healthy lifestyle, but the high-stress habits that many of us have adopted are often the cause of the most common sleep disorders.

These sleeping problems—like insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome—can reduce your lifespan. If left untreated, sleep disorders can lead to a higher rate of heart failure, as well as an increased risk for developing diabetes.

Uncovering the problem

The Regional Center For Sleep Medicine, 4041 West Sylvania Ave., Toledo, offers diagnostic testing and treatment for those who suffer from sleep disorders. “Sleep disorders are becoming more frequent. One factor is the increase in consumption of coffee and energy drinks. As people use these, they become more restless and the long-term health effects are quite severe,” said Dr. Joseph Shaffer.

Dr. Shaffer has been studying and treating sleep disorders for more than 30 years. He earned a Ph.D. from Temple University in 1982. He has the distinction of being a Diplomat of the American Board of Sleep Medicine (DABSM) and is a fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (FAASM). A board-certified sleep specialist , he also teaches in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toledo.

“Our job is to find the problem areas within the sleep cycle and break through them,” said Dr. Andre Aguillon. Dr. Aguillon has practiced at the Regional Center For Sleep Medicine since 2012.

He earned a Ph.D. from The University of Toledo, and he is a board-certified sleep specialist.

Common complaints

Dr. Shaffer defines a sleep disorder as “any factor that affects the natural rhythm of the genetic expression of the sleep-wake cycle.” While many people find themselves having trouble falling asleep at night, an occasional occurrence of difficulty falling asleep is not cause for alarm. Stress and difficult life ­circumstances are bound to catch up with us from time to time, causing restless nights of poor sleep.

But when the inability to fall asleep persists over a prolonged period of time, serious mental and physical problems can occur. This is insomnia, a common sleep disorder. If persistent, medical attention should be sought. “In severe cases, patients have extreme difficulty functioning in their daily lives,” said Dr. Shaffer.

Interrupted rhythms

In other cases, it’s not a matter of falling asleep, but rather what happens once the individual is asleep. Sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome (RLS) are two common harmful sleep disorders. Sleep apnea is a condition where the muscles surrounding the nose and throat relax during sleep, and breathing CONTINUED ON P.10

CONTINUED FROM P. 9

“The older you get, the greater the chances that unresolved sleep disorders will cause a host of other problems.” ­—Dr. Joseph Shaffer, The Regional Center For Sleep Medicine

starts and stops for more than 10 seconds at a time during the night. RLS is a neurological condition where unpleasant sensations cause move the legs during sleep, preventing the individual from reaching the deeper levels of sleep needed to stay healthy.

“Every individual has a unique biological rhythm. When it’s disrupted, it often has adverse consequences,” said Dr. Shaffer. People with insomnia, sleep apnea, and RLS feel exhausted the following day, an obvious sign that one’s biological rhythm is off-balance.

Loud snoring at night is a possible indicator of sleep apnea. “The louder someone snores, the more likely they may have issues with getting a good night of sleep,” Dr. Aguillon explained. According to Dr. Shaffer, “There are different levels of severity with sleep apnea; the most severe cases occur when an individual stops breathing 3,0­40 times per hour.”

Other symptoms include tossing and turning while in bed or waking up with a headache or dry mouth. Obese individuals are the most prone to severe cases of sleep apnea.

The value of good rest

Dr. Joseph Shaffer, has studied sleep disorders for more than 30 years.

“Our job is to find the problem areas within the sleep cycle and break through them,” said Dr. Andre Aguillon.

“Sleep is underappreciated, and sleep disorders are under-diagnosed,” said Dr. Shaffer.

Problems with sleep are often overlooked or viewed as less important, but in many cases, they can be life­-threatening if left untreated.

“Sleep disorders are not traditionally taught in medical school, so many of these issues have not received the attention they deserve,” Dr. Aguillon explained.

Sleep disorders are increasingly found in both middle-­aged adults and seniors. “The

older you get, the greater the chances that unresolved sleep disorders will cause other problems,” said Dr. Shaffer.

Heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure and sexual dysfunction are all associated with sleep apnea, as well as insomnia and RLS. Anxiety and depression are often interlinked with sleep disorders as well; these mental conditions may be the result or cause of the sleeping problems. “It’s a bit of a two-way street,” said Dr. Aguillon.

Disorders can also affect others. “[A sleep disorder] has the effect of increasing auto accidents, and is especially problematic for truck drivers,” Dr. Shaffer said.

Finding treatment

Reducing overall stress levels and cutting out alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine use may lessen the severity of these conditions.

For more severe cases, cognitive behavioral therapy and/or prescribed medication may be needed.

The most common type of treatment for sleep apnea involves wearing a breathing machine known as a CPAP, short for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. This machine uses air pressure to open the airway, allowing the patient to have normal breathing patterns during sleep. Patients who have difficulty sleeping can undergo a sleep evaluation. This procedure involves running diagnostic testing, known as a polysomnography (PSG), while the patient sleeps overnight. During PSG, the patient is connected to a series of electrodes that monitor the patient's internal activity during sleep. A healthcare provider records this activity in another room while the patient sleeps. The results can determine the type and severity of the sleep disorder.

Often, people aren’t aware that they suffer from these sleeping conditions. “Sometimes patients know they have a problem.

Other times, their bed partner is the one who notices that they snore, or that they stop breathing at night,” said Dr. Aquillon. When it comes to these conditions, it’s important to remember the rule of quality over quantity: The number of hours that a person sleeps each night doesn’t mean the individual has a sleeping disorder. “Some people need six hours a night, and others need nine or 10. So it’s not necessarily the number of hours a person sleeps, but rather the quality of the sleep they get,” he said.

they would serve to family, using fresh, quality ingredients. The menu ranges from tacos to salads to burritos and Mexican pizzas as well as specially prepared vegetarian dishes.

And the generous-sized margaritas are made in flavors such as strawberry, original, peach mango and pineapple.

On the salsa side, Amaya’s offers medium or hot cantina-style salsas (the hot variety has a pronounced flavor of cumin), as well as a cucumber or a mango ghost pepper salsa. The ghost pepper is blisteringly hot, but when used sparingly and in the right balance—as it is here—it is actually milder than the hot cantina salsa and definitely worth a try. Opt for the salsa fresca or the salsa verde, both are also excellent and made fresh daily. None of these salsas are out of a jar and you can really taste the freshness.

Tacos, pizza, tamales

Tacos come in soft or hard varieties. I especially liked the soft corn with shredded beef, made from tender and juicy smoked brisket. Tacos are $2.69 for one or $7.99 for three. The Mexican pizza is made on a thin crisp tortilla and topped with a choice of chicken or ground beef ($6.39) or steak or shrimp ($7.46). Tamales are three for $7.99.

The menu will change at times, depending on the availability of ingredients.

Amaya’s is familyfriendly and offers kids meal specials, and kids eat free on Sunday with each adult purchase. They also offer a 10% discount to service members.

This is really a great new local Mexican restaurant, and a good place to unwind after work for a drink and a quick bite to eat.

Daily specials range from a rice bowl to a Mexican pizza and taco salad for $5 without a beverage or $6.50 with one. If you’re in the mood for something more substantial, try the ground beef or chicken burrito for $5.75 (small) or $7.10 (large). The burritos can be sauced with queso, enchilada, tomatillo or medium salsa. The large burrito lives up to the description—it is impos-

Steak, shrimp and pork are available options, with tender chunks of grilled skirt steak a delicious addition to any entree. You can also build the nachos from the same large variety of toppings. The guacamole is chunky and adds a nice touch to any entree.

Secrets to Cooking with Flair Thanksgiving with a new twist

by Pat Nowak

It’s November; time to think of what to serve for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.

Do we cook traditionally again or try something new and different? I visited with some upand-coming chefs—all of them were Level Two culinary students under the direction of Jim Rhegness at Penta Culinary Arts Center. I asked them to share some tips with me to make holiday cooking a breeze, and to provide us with a special recipe for the holiday.

Be sure to be on the watch for some of the young chefs – their culinary savvy is sure to take them places.

Dried Cherry & Sausage Stuffing (makes 6 servings)

4 oz. butter 2 ½ c. chopped celery 6 ½ c. chopped leaks 4 apples – peeled, cored and chopped 1 ½ lbs. bulk breakfast sausage 2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary 2 tsp. chopped fresh sage 2 tsp chopped fresh parsley 1 c. dried cherries 1 c. dried cranberries 1 c. toasted pine nuts 1 6-oz. bag or box of stuffing mix 2 c. chicken stock Salt and pepper to taste

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large pan, melt the butter. Sauté the onions, celery, leeks, apples and sausage for 10 minutes (or until sausage is cooked and broken up). Reduce heat to medium, and add the herbs, spices, dried cherries, pine nuts and cranberries. Stir until combined with vegetables and sausage. Add the dried stuffing mix and moisten with chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a buttered casserole dish and bake for 45 minutes.

Tips to make your Thanksgiving meal memorable: ● Brine the turkey to keep it moist before cooking. Do not baste a turkey; it actually dries it out. ● If you want to have vegetables with your meal, place the turkey on a vegetable rack with carrots, celery and onions; they will infuse the turkey and be a wonderful addition to the meal. ● Place bacon on the turkey breast to keep it from drying out. ● Use leftover turkey to make chili for the weekend football games ● Mix some cranberries in with your stuffing and use fresh bread to keep them moist. ● Use foil pans for serving side dishes ● Have a lot of pies

Home Movie Video Review:

R

obert Downey Jr, plays Hank Palmer, an expert urban lawyer who finds his way back home to rural Indiana when his mother dies and then his estranged father, played by Robert Duvall, a small town judge, finds himself suspected of murder. Billy Bob Thornton easily matches Downey Jr’s intelligence and confidence as the prosecuting attorney, which eventually involves the reluctant Hank. Filmmakers unpackage the Palmer family background very well using the circumstances, settings (filmed in Massachusetts), and family conflicts that are easily relatable to audiences. Vera Farmiga plays local “townie” Samantha and her daughter is played by Leighton Meester while Vincent D’Onofrio plays Hank’s brother Glen with Jeremy Strong playing the youngest Palmer son Dale.

Melissa Leo and Dax Shepard also have great supporting roles.

Other positive enhancements include the musical score and cinematography from Janusz Kaminski, a frequent collaborator with Steven Spielberg. The 141-minute running time never really lags. Rated R for continuous strong language, including some sexual references.

Maleficent HHH

This live-action adaptation stars Angelina Jolie as the famous villain in the 1959 Sleeping Beauty Disney animated film. This fantasy adventure film, as many fairy tale films and television shows are currently doing, put their own spin on the classic tale. Set in magical realm near a human kingdom, the story initiates with Maleficent’s relationship with Stefan, well played by Shartlo Copley (Elysium, District 9, The A-Team). The story eventually evolves to the familiar characters, but with more development. Raven Diaval, played by Samy Riley and Imelda Staunton as the leader of the famous pixie trio of caring for the young Aurora, well played by the young Elle Fanning.

Where Are They Now? Gerry Bamman

‘Uncle Frank’ is one of Toledo’s own

T

by Marshall Jay Kaplan

hose who glance at Gerry Bamman’s senior picture would see his big thick glasses and his shy smile, and wonder how he had the confidence to choose acting as a career. They might be surprised to learn how he did overcome an “insecurity quotient that was off the charts” to become a well-recognized film and stage actor.

Roots in Toledo

Gerry Bamman moved to Toledo from Independence, KS when his father was transferred here. His first school experience was the 6th grade at Blessed Sacrament School, when a professional recruiter visiting his junior high class there, to make a pitch for a boarding school in Wisconsin.

“He made that place sound like an adolescent paradise, so I was ready to go,” Bamman recalls, “but my parents suggested that I take a look at the new all-boys school in Toledo, St. Francis de Sales.”

His dream at St. Francis was to play basketball. He learned that passion alone didn’t overcome his being “slow-footed and short.” Despite coach Dick Mattingly’s reassurances that “You’ll grow, kid,” he realized he was not meant to be an athlete, so he turned to acting.

During his senior year at St. Francis, Gerry had parts in three productions.

He has very clear memories of a role he played in the Knight Rampants variety show in 1958 as a female telephone operator, and recalls that “putting on a dress didn’t seem to be a path to higher selfesteem.”

Continuing to learn

“I was not a model student,” he admits. “I was very familiar with detention and suspension, and I recall Fr. Stahl shaking his head in dismay as he told my parents that I had ‘so much potential.’”

But the death of his father in the summer of 1959 caused a change in Bamman’s attitude, and he started college hoping to discover that potential for himself. At Xavier University, he submerged himself in theater and performance activities, relating, “I was constantly surprised at how well St. Francis had prepared me, in spite

of my having given no cooperation.”

After graduating from Xavier, he went to Columbia Law School—for five days. He says he knew instantly that it was the wrong place for him.

He enlisted in the military, and it was during his time as a soldier that he realized that he was truly happy only in the theater. When he left the service, he enrolled at Wayne State University for graduate study in the theater, and then attended New York University School of the Arts. After graduation, he was a theater actor in New York and in regional theaters around the country.

After about 15 years of extensive theater work, Gerry got his first film role in a television miniseries called Courage. He has played characters in many television movies— Hunt for the Night Stalker, Kojak: None So Blind—and TV series, including Law and Order and Spencer for Hire. He has also appeared in many films, including Cocktail, The Bodyguard, Pink Cadillac, and his favorite, Lorenzo’s Oil. But he’s probably best recognized for his role as Uncle Frank McAllister in the blockbuster hit Home Alone, and the sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. That’s an experience he won’t forget.

“Warner Brothers was originally supposed to do it, and four weeks before the shooting was to start, they cancelled it. Fox picked it up and has made over a billion dollars.

No one knew what a commercial success Home Alone would be. When it became the most successful comedy up to that point, everyone was flabbergasted,” Gamman recalled.

It has been more than 50 years since Gerry Bamman acted on the St. Francis de Sales stage or sat in Latin or French class.

But the training he got at St. Francis prepared him for a satisfying career. Millions of people around the world who have seen him act in films and on stage agree that he has realized the vision our patron had for a successful life—“Be what you are, and be that well.”

Vision for success

In recent years, Bamman has added Broadway appearances to his resume, including On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (2000), and has added books and audiobooks to his credit.

While none of his three children is interested in theater, his wife, Cecil McKinnon, teaches theater at NYU, and is a theater director as well as a circus director and performer.

He has strong advice for those interested in a film and/or theater career. “If you can do anything else, do it,” he recommends. “Show business is only for those who cannot be happy doing anything else. The odds against success are huge, and the rejection is constant. The rewards are enormous when you are able to do something, and that is why
