50 years of fair housing Paws Up for 90 Years: Toledo Animal Shelter Rebrands Itself

Toledo’s oldest no-kill animal shelter is marking 90 years in business by changing their name to Toledo Animal Rescue. The goal of the new name, tagline, and logo is to better reflect their mission, energized spirit, and efforts in rescuing furry friends in the Glass City in need of loving homes.

American journey

You probably know Toledo City Councilman Peter Ujvagi for his long career in local politics, but you might not know that he came from Hungary to Toledo in 1957. His life work, and his efforts supporting immigrants today, has been recognized through the ‘I Am An Immigrant’ campaign’s inaugural Celebrate Immigrants Awards. Ujvagi is one of ten recipients, with others including Senator John McCain and comedian Kumail Nanjiani. iamanimmigrant.com.

OakLeaf Village of Sylvania Township has served the needs of area senior citizens for more than 30 years. To help their neighbors, the independent and assisted living facility hosts an annual program “Seniors Helping Seniors,” where OakLeaf residents provide $1,000 scholarships for Southview and Northview High School seniors. This year, Dick Moses provided a scholarship to Marwin Li of Southview, and Zoe Gwozdz of Northview received one from her grandfather, Frank Gwozdz.

One week after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968) was passed, making the discriminatory behavior of home sellers and landlords federally prohibited. Since then, the act has expanded to include discrimination based on disability, familial status, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity. Celebrate 50 years of hard work and persistence by joining The Fair Housing Center for the Ohio Fair Housing Summit. Panelists and speakers will discuss why fair housing matters, what barriers still persist, and what more we can do to fight discrimination. Register in advance. $50+. 8am-3:30pm.

Profiles Key to Toledo’s Story

On July 3, Representative Marcy Kaptur was honored for her long service to her hometown of Toledo, as well as the whole of Ohio’s 9th district, by being presented the Key to the City during a meeting of Toledo’s City Council.

“I never expected anything like that, and I’m a proud daughter of the city of Toledo. So, it was really quite a lovely occasion.

Every member of City Council said something overly generous,” Kaptur said.

“It was a great surprise, and I’m just very, very grateful to all those who took the time to do something so generous.”

It has been a landmark time for Kaptur in other ways. Early in the year, the 72-year-old Kaptur officially became the longest-serving woman in the history of the House of Representatives. Currently in her 18th term in office, Kaptur is also the longest-tenured woman in all of Congress.

“You learn every day,” Kaptur said of her time in Washington. “And obviously, with the seniority and the perspective that it brings, you gain measure. You learn how much it takes to accomplish something of national— and sometimes global— significance.”

The world has changed much in the 35 years since Kaptur first took office. When she first ran, women serving in the halls of Congress were rare. When she was young, she applied to join the Air Force, but was denied because she was a woman. She applied to go to Notre Dame, but they didn’t accept women at the time. She wanted to work for the FBI, but was rejected because they didn’t hire women.

“Now all that’s changed,” Kaptur said. “So in my own lifetime, I’ve seen the country make progress— I feel I’ve been a part of that progress. Not just as a woman, but as a human being living in this country.”

. s wanted to..

I have alway Own a bakery. words What are the Faith. you live by? ething most What is som know about ’t people don ating is my you? Figure sk favorite sport.

What do you admire in people?

Kindness, intelligence, dedication to a task, whatever it might be. Humor.

What is your pet peeve? Oh boy, just one? (laughs) Things that break.

Things that cause us undue anxiety, because they don’t function as they should.

What advice would you give to the younger you? Publish the books you want to write sooner!

Who is someone that you’d like to meet? I would have enjoyed meeting Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. Together.

What inspires you now? I think achievement -- in other words, when you achieve something that kind of gives you added momentum to keep going.

I think the support of people -- in my business, you can’t do anything without people. And the young people that work for us in our offices— in both Ohio and Washington— their dedication. I see them coming up and trying to grapple with the unfinished business of America.

Favorite food? I have a lot of different favorites. In terms of my own ethnic background, I like Polish Dill Potato Soup. ... If you asked my brother what my favorite food is, he’d say, ‘Spaghetti.’ And that’s probably true!

Favorite movie? It’s called ‘Killing Fields,’ and it’s a movie about Cambodia. I’m obviously a political person, and it makes any viewer aware of how politics—- how bad politics— can change your life. You cannot avoid politics. Your absence from it will change your country and your community, your participation in it can help to make your country and community a better place.

What was a defining moment in your life?

When my University of Toledo advisor encouraged me to follow my dream and switch gears from accounting to pursue a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology it gave my life definition. To do something so inconsistent with my previous education was difficult to embrace, but his inspiration illuminated my path toward helping others (and myself!) improve their health and wellbeing.

Cindy Hodgson, MS, PT, PhD

How do you stay inspired?

How do you make healthy habits stick?

Listening to books on audible.com about motivation, self-development, nutrition, or spirituality affords me insight and provides me with inspiration to share with others.

I remind myself how good I feel after completing a workout. The objective is to make it such an integral part of your life that you feel incomplete without it.

Today we see more seniors waiting too long to move in. They wait until they don’t feel good or are in crisis mode. We have so many wonderful activities and programs here at Ohio Living Swan Creek. Freedom to do the things that you want right at your fingertips. Don’t waiting for a crisis.

All the amazing people that I work with each and every day. I work with retired business owners, teachers, doctors etc. who want to still live life and have purpose.

Helping with Loss

Volunteers at Sylvania church create Gabriel’s Gowns

By Jeff McGinnis

On a Tuesday night at Sylvania United Church of Christ, Gabriel’s Gowns volunteers take a moment to admire some of the wedding dresses laid out in front of them. Beautiful gowns, just some of the many stored by the group, are donated by women from around the area. But it was what they would become— and the meaning behind this project— that seemed most beautiful.

Gabriel’s Gowns, founded by former Toledo radio personality Sara Hegarty and her husband, Shaun (13abc Investigative Reporter) is a group which takes donated wedding dresses and uses them to make burial gowns for babies who never come home. “Born sleeping,” as Hegarty puts it. Over the past four years, the group has made over 3,000 gowns to be distributed to hospitals both in Northwest Ohio and outside the area.

Volunteers from Sylvania United Church of Christ meet regularly to transform donated wedding dresses into burial gowns for infants.

Doing something meaningful

Pat Detzel, coordinator for Gabriel’s Gowns, explains that gowns have been distributed in Dayton, Columbus, Connecticut and even Haiti. She came to work for the group after hearing a call for donations on the radio.

She donated her own wedding dress and began to learn about the charity.

“The people who volunteered to sew planned to meet,” Detzel said. “And I mentioned it to my mom, and asked

her ‘Do you think this is a project we could take to church?’ Because I know we have people at church that sew.

And my mom suggested, ‘Let’s go to the meeting and see.’”

With the help of her mother, Ellen Bowers, now Gabriel’s Gowns’ head sewer, the group began holding regular meetings at the church, where volunteers would pick up a dress and take it home to make gowns.

“I would say anywhere from a half an hour to an hour,” Bowers estimated when asked how long the process takes. “And from one wedding gown you can make anywhere from 10 to 15 to 20 [gowns], depending on how elaborate the gown is.”

“It makes me feel good that I’m doing something for someone at a sad time in their life,” said Mary Grace Grzybowski, who has created over 500 gowns for the charity in the past two years.

Sandy Hauter, a member of Sylvania UCC, has made gowns for over three years. She said she never had sewn before she began work with Gabriel’s Gowns, adding, “Now I have two sewing machines.”

Helping the volunteers

Sara Hegarty, who was inspired to create the group after the loss of her son Gabriel in 2013, manages the distribution of completed gowns to hospitals, but Pat and Ellen truly run the operation at Sylvania United, calling the work meaningful to them and the volunteers as well as to the families who they support.

“There was one volunteer that we had who had experienced a loss, and it was several years ago, and so she sewed. And that was her way to give back and it was therapeutic for her.

And at one point, she brought all her stuff back and said, ‘I’m good now.

I’m recovered. I don’t need this anymore.’ “We didn’t know when we started this that we would be helping more than the families that were experiencing loss, that we would also be helping the volunteers.”

Gabriel’s Gowns meets every other month at Wright Hall in Sylvania United Church of Christ, 7240 Erie St., Sylvania, 419-882-0048.

The next session will be held on Tuesday, September 18 from 5 to 7 pm.

Panicked Pets

Hormones and anxiety

By Dr. Robert Esplin

Two of smallest glands in the body are the adrenal glands but they fill many important bodily functions. We have all experienced an adrenal event with we had to make a panic stop and our body responded by releasing adrenalin. That instant stress response caused an increase in heart rate, respirations and our eyes dilated. This reaction passes quickly, and the body returns to its normal awake rhythm.

Pets also have adrenal glands and can have an instant adrenalin release that is triggered by the flight or fight fear emotion. The adrenal glands responsibilities do not end with the adrenalin release. Two additional hormones are produced by this remarkable gland. Glucocorticoid which is cortisone released for long term stress reaction and mineralocorticoid which controls the kidneys ability to concentrate urine and retain electrolytes. These two hormones are under the control of the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain. This boring lesson in physiology gives you enough understanding to learn about two disease that affect dogs and to a lesser extend cats and ferrets.

Cushing’s disease

Cushing’s disease is a hyper (excessive) function of the glucocorticoid producing portion of the adrenal gland. Excessive amounts of natural cortisone are produced by the organ causing an affected pet to drink

Time

excessive amounts of water, make urine mistakes, pant excessively, show muscle wasting, exhibit hair loss and in some cases show strange and changed behavior. Cushing’s is most frequently diagnosed in older pets.

Testing for Cushing’s is done by running full chemistry, urine and a blood test called a low dose dex suppression.

Once diagnosed there are multiple treatments but the most common is a veterinary approved medication called Vetoryl. Cushing’s disease is controlled, not cured. Should the source of Cushing’s disease be an adrenal gland tumor surgery can be considered to remove the abnormal gland.

Adrenal tumors are the most common cause of Cushing’s in ferrets. Cushing’s can be caused by over treating allergies and other steroid responsive diseases with manufactured steroids. This serious complication is called iatrogenic Cushing’s. The most common condition where steroids, like prednisone, are used is allergy treatment. To avoid using steroids we recommend using Apoquel and or Cytopoint neither of which affect the adrenal gland.

Addison’s disease

The opposite disease of Cushing’s is a hypo (under) function of the adrenal gland called Addison’s disease.

Addison’s disease is called the great imitator as it can mimic many other diseases from weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, increased kidney lab values, poor appetite slow heartrate and potentially death. A test called an acth stim is run to make the diagnosis of Addison’s.

In most cases of Addison’s disease lifelong treatment is necessary but very successful. The best treatment is an injection give every 28-30 days of either Percorten or Zycortal. They can be used interchangeably which is good because Percorten is on a long back order. Zycortal is not generic but is fully FDA approved. In some cases of Addison’s low doses of manufactured cortisone is given. When an Addisonian pet is going to be stressed, surgery, boarding are two examples extra doses of cortisone are given.

Fear-free tips: If your dog has not been vaccinated against the canine influena viruses, do it now. There has been a large outbreak in the Detroit area and it could end up back in NW Ohio.

Savings

Start or contribute to education savings programs

Saving for the Future Grandparents can help

By Linda Koss

Many grandparents want their grandchildren to save money and get a good financial start, but are unsure of how to do it. Here are some strategies to help them out:

Start savings accounts at a bank or credit union

Check your bank or credit union for special accounts and programs they may have for those under 18 years of age. Some institutions waive fees and minimum requirements for young savings account holders until they reach adulthood.

At Directions Credit Union, MyLife savings accounts can be started by parents or grandparents if they have the child’s name, date of birth and Social Security number, according to Alyson Timmons, of Community Outreach and Financial Education for Directions. Checking programs are available for those aged 13 and older, and can be monitored by an adult.

PNC Bank offers “custodial accounts” for those under 18 years, started by parents or other adult relatives that are without fees until the child reaches 18. Joint checking accounts are available for ages 14 and older.

While the focus on many school savings programs has been college and vocational school, there are ways to help grandparents finance K-12 education as well. The best known program is the 529 program available in all states, known in Ohio as College Advantage (collegeadvantage.com).

An account can be started by a parent, guardian or other relative for a child, and the money will be invested in one of the approved financial products in that state program and will grow tax-free. Money can be withdrawn tax free from it to pay for K-12 tuition, or any approved expenses for a post secondary school.

According to Toledo-based tax advisor Robert Hodge, stock investments can go sour in a 529 program and result in a loss of money, but he recommends an indexed fund to reduce the risk.

While Ohio no longer has a prepaid tuition plan, Michigan still has one, the Michigan Education Trust, which allows you to buy credit for Michigan colleges at current prices.

Linda Fayerweather, MBA and Business Specialist with the Toledo Lucas County Public Library, suggests matching the earnings of youngsters as an incentive. She has paid her own grandchildren for chores, and matched

earnings with them in a special account. Also, you can simply pay some college expenses directly (what Fayerweather calls the “grandma and grandpa scholarship”), which will not harm their eligibility for scholastic grants.

Create funds for disabled grandchildren

Grandparents can also create or contribute to accounts for children whose disabilities will cause them to use SSI and Medicaid throughout their lives. A special needs trust would make funds available that a trustee could use for some of the child’s needs without losing eligibility to receive benefits from those programs. It can be set up or contributed to by grandparents and must be managed by a trustee, who can purchase items and services for the beneficiary not covered by SSI or Medicaid.

According to Special Needs Trusts: Protect Your Children’s Financial Future by Nolo Press, a producer of doit-yourself legal books, there may be tax consequences to starting up a special needs trust in your lifetime. The authors suggest that unless there are extraordinary needs, it way be wiser to set up a special needs trust through your will.

Giving The Ability Center

Inclusion for people with disabilities

By Erin Holden

The Ability Center, Toledo (ACT) has gone through many changes since its founding in 1920. Overtime, the needs and expectations of those with disabilities shifted; now ACT has become an organization that focuses on helping those with disabilities to live independently within their communities.

For people who need modifications to their home, the Home Accessibility Program provides assistance. Carpenters on ACT’s staff build ramps, stair grabbers, and other modifications, but volunteers also assist and are a big part of what makes the program so successful.

Tools for Success

The mission of ACT is to make the community accessible to people with disabilities, which is often where their advocacy program comes in. “We have a full-time lawyer on staff who deals with advocacy issues on a systemic level,” Tarr said. “If we get 10 to 15 calls reporting a barrier to get into a restaurant, then that’s something worth noting.” The Advocacy Program also helps with transportation and housing discrimination issues.

Life Skills, the newest ACT program, is developed to teach young people with disabilities about independent living and employability.

One component is a summer camp where youth ages 13 to 26 stay on the University of Toledo campus and are paired with different job sites according to their interests. Tarr said that “they’re living college dorm life— doing laundry and cleaning their rooms.”

“We never want to look at people with disabilities as an ‘inspiration,” Tarr said. “(P)eople with disabilities... have the same thoughts and dreams, but they have different challenges to get there. We need to make sure that everyone is on the same playing field, as much as possible.”

ACT achieves their mission with the Assistance Dogs for Achiev-

ing Independence (ADAI) Program. Service dogs, trained

through the ACT facility, work with volunteers invaluable to the process.

“We have foster families that volunteer their time to help train the dogs,” ACT Community Relations Specialist Mallory Tarr said. The dogs are placed with individuals who need help with daily tasks at home, and many become school therapy dogs.

ACT also helps with equipment loans, which can include everything from wheelchairs to portable ramps.

“A lot of people just pitch their stuff if they don’t need it anymore,” Tarr said. “They don’t know that there’s a place where they can drop it off.”

Donations are welcomed and can be dropped off at the facility, where it will be sanitized and paired with a person who needs it.

The Nursing Home Transition program helps anyone who has been in a nursing home for three months or longer with the transition back to their home. There are times when that person needs certain equipment, modifications to their home, or help getting everyday items they need when they return home. ACT assists with these barriers.

Health Breast Cancer Risk Can be Decreased Factors that May Play a Role

By Stephen Roberts, PhD In 2015 almost 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were reported in the United States, with almost 10,000 of those cases in Ohio. While these numbers are disturbing there are ways to protect yourself and decrease risk.

Physical exercise has consistently been shown to decrease the risk of breast cancer. One study reported by J.S. Hildebrand of the American Cancer Society found that among women whose only recreational activity was walking, those who walked more than seven hours a week had a 14 percent lower likelihood of breast cancer than those who walked three hours or less.

In another study, involving over 60,000 participants, reported in a 2013 issue of Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, it was shown that there was a 12 percent reduction in breast cancer between those who were physically active and those who were not.

Weight Gain/Obesity

Weight gain is generally accepted as a risk factor for breast cancer. Dr. AH Eliassen, as reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, investigated the impact of weight gain on breast cancer occurrence.

Based on a sample of 4500 cases of breast cancer, it was shown that women who gained 55 pounds since the age of 18 had a 45 percent increased risk of breast cancer, as compared to those who did not.

As several studies have indicated, being obese turns out to be a very significant breast cancer factor. In the Million Women Study, which followed 1.2 million women in Great Britain, it was discovered that obese women had a 30 percent higher probability of developing postmenopausal breast cancer than non-obese women.

Losing or maintaining proper weight can be very helpful in avoiding breast cancer.

www.mlivingnews.com

Nutritional Factors

Heterocyclic Amines (HCA) are produced when beef, pork, fish and chicken are cooked using high temperature methods, such as grilling. The problem with HCAs is that they increase the probability of several cancers including breast cancer. In a study of 3,000 women carried out by Dr. Susan Steck, women who ate the most grilled, barbecued or smoked meat had a 47 percent higher risk of breast cancer as compared to those who ate the least amount. Other cooking techniques that produce HCAs include roasting, pan frying and baking. Eating less meat that is cooked at high temperatures decreases risk.

As you might suspect eating a diet with daily servings of fruits and vegetables is helpful in decreasing breast cancer risk. As indicated by more than one study, there are also specific foods that appear to be very useful in cutting the likelihood of breast cancer. Dr. S. Gallus reported in the Annals of Oncology Journal that eating one apple a day decreased the risk of breast cancer by 17 percent. A study by Dr. K. Buck in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that high lignan intake decreased breast cancer occurrence in post-menopausal women by 14 percent. Flaxseeds are an excellent source of lignans. These studies have been replicated by other researchers.

Fortunately for us the Toledo area is blessed to have agencies that assist people with this disease. The Victory Center, located at 5532 W. Central Ave., is an organization that helps anyone diagnosed with cancer, |including breast cancer. The center provides services such as massage, reflexology, reiki, healing touch, facials, counseling, meditation and a wig bank. There are also group programs offered that include support groups, yoga and art therapy.

“Traditions Will Carry On”

For many people, grief is an overwhelming emotion experienced from the loss of a loved one, a terminal diagnosis or perhaps a tragedy. Many find themselves feeling numb and removed from daily life activities and unable to move through their day. We must remember grief is the natural reaction to loss and is a universal and personal experience we all feel. Individual experiences with grief are varied in nature by the type of loss one is burdened by. Experts advise those grieving to realize they are unable to control the process and should prepare for the varying stages of grief.

Mourning may last for months or years and is different for all. Outside help can be beneficial to many people trying to recover. We offer bereavement services for families we serve. Here are some additional grief support links for more information.

Dini ng out The Displaced Chef Comfort food with a Cuban beat

By Cynthia Nowak It’s in a small corner of Perrysburg, but the Displaced Chef packs a big wallop of Latin flavor and hospitality. That’s what habitués and new visitors alike find when they visit the cozy, colorful restaurant tucked into The Shops at South Boundary.

During my mid-week lunchtime visit, co-owner Krista Francis took a few minutes to describe the philosophy that she and her fiancé, chef Matt Salgado, have utilized to delight local palates and introduce what might be called nouvelle Cuban food to Northwest Ohio.

“We’re both originally Floridians and love good food. Matt, who has a Cuban-Spanish ancestry, grew up learning to cook from his grandmother, so these are family recipes he’s updated and finessed.”

From scratch kitchen Their everything-from-scratch mandate shone in the lunches we enjoyed. We started with a nod to the sultry temperatures outside: the carrot-mango-coconut gazpacho was slightly sweet, delightfully creamy and felt both decadent and healthy.

I ordered one of the several plate options. The mojo (MO-ho) marinated chicken was shredded and served atop black beans and rice, with a garnish of sweet fried plantains, which are similar to bananas, but with more personality. It wasn’t a spicy dish— hot sauce is available for those who want more heat— but it was immensely satisfying.

My partner chose one of Krista’s favorites: picadillo (pik-a-DEE-o) empanadas, a complex take on meat pies. Ground beef is combined with olives, raisins, onions and spices making the meat slightly sweet, then it is encased in puff pastry.

We shared a side of the yucca fries: light, crispy and with just enough tongue-tingling spice.

Just right The food was rib-sticking, but not podgy, and we had plenty of leftovers to bring home. We wanted to save room for dessert, and decided to split a piece of homemade Key lime pie, which had a creaminess that was leavened by the dancing citrusy character. Another winner! Other desserts include warm flan, and dessert empanadas dusted with powdered sugar.

Other diners nearby enjoyed dishes that included the Cuban take on ham-and-Swiss— it includes pork and comes pressed into slices of Cuban bread shipped in from Ybor City in Tampa. Conch (konk) appears in two entrees, and fried Mahi tacos are another favorite, topped with Manchego cheese and garnished with spicy slaw.

“We have a very family-oriented restaurant where you can feel the warmth,” says Kristin. “It’s like an extension of home. Sometimes when we’re creating a new dish, we’ll bring out a sample and share it.

“We like our chefs to be creative!”

Sharing the Dream Home The recent St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway, sponsored by Buckeye Real Estate Group, raised $1,00,000 to support life-saving research and treatment for kids and families battling childhood cancer.

During the contest, public tours of the grand prize— a 2,400 square-foot Dream Home in Waterville Meadows valued at around $315,000—demonstrated the builder’s and decorator’s meticulous attention-to-detail in both the exterior and interior design.

“We had such a wonderful time decorating this special home, knowing the money was going to a fantastic cause,” said Elizabeth Laeng, Marketing Director, who also serves as one of Buckeye’s interior designers.

Dianne and Dave Jaeger won the Dream Home by purchasing 30 of the $100 raffle tickets, but didn’t move in. The couple generously donated the home back to the St. Jude charity.

Laeng’s decorating tips:

Keep clutter “under wraps” – guests should not see mail, bills, computer wires or chargers. n Pick out one or two accent colors and carry them into adjoining rooms. For instance, use bold color placemats in the dining room that match canister sets in the kitchen. n Neutral finishes are best – use bold colors as accents.

“Have a neutral palette with splashes of color. n Warm up bedrooms by adorning them with area rugs, plants and, perhaps, a sitting area for reading. n Everything should have a place and “train your family well.” Live in your home and relax but, at the end of the day, put things back and tidy up. n
