Profiles Tina Skeldon Wozniak

Lucas County Commissioner

I have always wanted to...

Sing or act in a theatre production!

By Pat Nowak

What trait do you admire in others?

I have always admired people who use positive energy to calm conflict.

Tina Skeldon Wozniak has served the citizens of Lucas County since 1997 when she first joined Toledo City Council.

During the previous economic recession, the commissioners successfully maintained a balanced budget without impacting critical public services and infrastructure in Lucas County.

Currently Commissioner Wozniak serves on the county’s Workforce Development Board, which successfully initiated Work Ready Lucas County, a program that assists in developing a workforce pipeline to provide skilled workers for employers.

Over the past two years, Wozniak and her colleagues have partnered with the local court system to pursue comprehensive criminal justice reform by increasing access to treatment for individuals with mental health conditions and/or substance abuse issues.

Your pet peeve?

Negative attitudes and negative thinking that keeps people bogged down from getting things done.

Something most people don’t know about you?

This past fall, my first invite came to speak at my alma mater, The Ohio State University, to discuss why social workers should run for office. I was very excited.

Words you live by?

Like the song by Tim McGraw, “Always be humble and kind.”

What advice would you give to the younger you?

Stay the course— though I could be a little gentler on my pace— with family, school, public official life, campaigns, teaching at the University, and many other directions.

She founded the Toledo Lucas County Sustainability Commission and led the community in developing a comprehensive sustainability plan called “Going Beyond Green.” In 2015, Wozniak launched Clear Water 2, a partnership with the National Wildlife Federation, working to build the public support needed to tackle today’s critical water quality issues.

In addition to her work as an elected official, Wozniak has taught core curriculum classes as a visiting professor in the Department of Social Work at the University of Toledo. She has a bachelor’s degree in social work from Bowling Green State University and a master’s degree in social work from The Ohio State University.

Making Hard Decisions

By Karen Lucas, Professional Organizer

If you are not already painfully aware of how much the world has changed, get ready for another sobering experience when you face the prospect of disposing of your parents’ prized possessions. Nobody wants them— not you and not your kids.

Maybe that’s not quite absolute, but it’s close; most of us are not well prepared to deal with these possessions that carry emotional memories, making it that much harder.

Newlyweds are not picking out formal china patterns these days. Homes, tastes and styles have changed: heavy “brown” mahogany furniture is out; the Ikea look, mobility and minimization are in.

Younger people also don’t have the “duty“ gene, an attribute of earlier generations who often took possessions from parents and grandparents that were expected to be passed down, even if they really didn’t want them.

Worse, not even antique dealers or estate sale professionals are excited about your parents’ stuff. Even some of the larger charities, like Goodwill or Salvation Army, reject donations of home furnishings when they run out of space for inventory.

Making the move

So what can you do— besides feel guilty? The reality is that most of us will have to face this someday, likely sooner than later. In fact, you might find yourself downsizing your things at the same time you need to step in to handle your parents’ possessions.

Some practical advice and tips to consider: If one or both of your parents are alive, find out more about the treasured things they have. What are the stories and connections behind these items? Ask why an item means something to them. It might be helpful to know this when you sell something or convince someone in the family to keep it.

Talk to extended family members, especially the young adults, about what they might have an interest in.

True, it can be awkward and the rejection can be painful, but there are often a few surprises. Rather than assuming your great niece would want the tea set, you might find out she would really love the woodworking tools.

Linda Blackburn, senior real estate advisor from Sulphur Springs Realty, states “based on my experience working with seniors I am finding that our kids and grandkids no longer want our ‘stuff.’ That can be very disappointing for many seniors downsizing or moving to assisted living. I always suggest wherever you move to make room for the things you love, see what your kids might like to have and then be prepared to relinquish the rest to an estate/tag sale or donate.”

Collected memories

Are you dealing with collections of things? Considering keeping one piece to remember the collection and the parent. That often allows you to move on and sell or donate the rest.

Also, understand what you are dealing with. Do you have high-end items? Like trendy Mid-Century Modern furniture, fine jewelry, artwork or rugs? If so, buyers can usually be found for those iems. Or, on the flip side, is most of what you’re dealing with mass produced and out of style? That makes it much harder to find buyers.

If you have some things you think might be valuable, get them appraised.

If the items turn out to be worth something, generally a local auction house or possibly an online business that has much broader market reach may have an interest. In both cases, understand the terms and circumstances of the sale.

Consider a local consignment shop to sell a few selected heirlooms, if you are not in a hurry. Or if you want it over quickly and relatively painlessly, consider a liquidation firm that will do an assessment, make an offer on the entire lot of items, sell off the most valuable items and donate the rest.

Website: YourPersonalOrganizer.com Email: Karen@YourPersonalOrganizer.com Phone: (419) 494-1890

Bottom line: this is hard stuff, loaded with memories, emotions, guilt and plenty of disappointment. If you feel you can’t face it alone, know that you can always hire an experienced professional organizer or senior move manager. These professionals, who don’t have the same emotional attachments, will do their best to find new homes for your family treasures.

10 things you might regret

By Pat Nowak

amela Ryb

ka, LPC

When you reach the age of 60 you notice changes: friends die far too young and aches and pains restrict all the fun you used to have. Dinner discussions center around dealing with health issues, making money last through retirement and keeping up with technology. We often fail to sit back and think about what we have that makes us happy or to create a list of the things we want to accomplish before we are no longer able. In assessing our lives there are things that we may regret. Here are some ideas to avoid that feeling.

10 things you might regret Not seeing the world. As you age traveling becomes more difficult.

Now is the time to buy a ticket to those places you have dreamed about— don’t wait. According to Jani Miller, president of Central Travel, “Travel unleashes one’s curiosity, encourages the soul and creates a platform to make dear friends worldwide. I myself cherish every opportunity I’ve had to explore the world for the past 40 years and am excited about the ‘to do’ bucket list that should keep me exploring for many years to come.”

1

8

Staying in a bad relationship. Be it a husband, family member, friend or a job— when there are unchangeable issues, consider moving on without looking back.

Life is too short to spend your precious time with dysfunctional people or doomed situations.

2

Missing the chance to participate in life. Go see your favorite musicians, participate in an art project, and join an exercise class. If money is an issue there are plenty of things you can do for free.

Don’t be someone who spends their physical peak time on a couch.

3

Supporting others’ dreams over your own. Supporting others is a beautiful thing, but not when it means you never get to shine. If you want to perform in front of others— take a chance.

Never taking a big risk— especially in love. Knowing that you took a leap of faith at least once, even if you fail, will be a great comfort when you think back on your boldness.

5

Dream big and act on your dreams.

Savage and Associate’s Russ Karbin reminds us that we need to to have fun and enjoy every day of life with those closest to us: “Create lasting memories for yourself! Use your money for a trip to Disney or a day away, for anyone it can simply be an evening at a campfire roasting marshmallows. Enjoy memories together that live beyond your lifetime and money!”

6

Not spending enough time with your children and grandchildren. We often think we will have all the time we need, but our time with our loved ones is limited so make it count. Pamela Rybka, clinical counselor, tells us the most important thing is to spend time with your children and grandchildren.

“Work can wait— take a day off; your children and grandchildren will grow up in a flash and as you age the cherished memories of that time together will be most important.”

10

Forgetting to appreciate the moment. It is hard to see in the beginning, but eventually it becomes clear that every moment on this earth— from the boring to the amazing— is a gift that we’re all so incredibly lucky to share— so take advantage of your time to always look at the brighter side and the best things in life.

Worrying too much.

Drama, grudges, needless petty confrontations— who needs it? What’s the point of reliving anger? Get over it and on with your life. Rybka reminds us that it is important for a person’s health and well-being to let stressful situations go.

It is critical to live and enjoy the present

Money matters.

Professionals have answers.

When do I have to start taking money out of my IRA?

419.377.0359

The IRS requires that you begin taking money out of your IRA in the year you turn 70 ½. This amount is referred to as the RMD or required minimum distribution.

The RMD is determined by taking the year end value of the previous year. So, a 2018 IRA RMD uses the December 31, 2017 account value. This amount is divided by your joint life expectancy, your age and the standard IRS table makes your beneficiary 10 years younger. If your spouse is more than ten years younger, special mortality tables are used.

The IRA RMD needs to be taken

by December 31st of the year. A 50% penalty is assessed for not taking your IRA RMD, so make sure you take your distribution.

As in all IRS rules there are exceptions and variables that apply to this rule. Make sure to consult your tax preparer for how the rule applies to you.

The IRS only cares that you take this distribution, they don’t care what you do with the money. If

clients need the money it serves as a retirement income supplement. If not needed, the funds can be added to non-qualified investments. If you are still working, you could add it to a Roth IRA. The funds could also be used to fund grandchildren’s 529 education plans.

As you can see there are a lot of options. If you are confused, ask your financial advisor for help.

Do I need Medicare Part A or Part B if I am still working?

The answer depends on your situation.

If you’ve worked at least 10 years (40 quarters) under Medicare-covered employment and paid Medicare taxes during that time, you qualify for premium-free Medicare Part A and will be automatically enrolled at age 65 even if you’re still working. If your spouse has enough employment quarters, you can also qualify for premium-free Medicare Part A based on his or her work history.

If not, you can decide to delay enrollment if you already have health coverage through an employer or union (or through your own work or your spouse’s employer). Medicare Part B always carries a monthly premium, so you may similarly choose to delay your Part B enrollment if you or your spouse are still working and have employer-based group coverage.

Remember, if you don’t sign up for Medicare when you’re first eligible and don’t have other coverage based on current employment, you could have to pay a late-enrollment penalty later when you do enroll. The lateenrollment penalty applies to Medicare

My Financial Institution keeps having credit card breaches, what is a data breach and how does it happen?

It can be overwhelming with the seemingly endless reports of data breaches, cyber-attacks and fraud.

A data breach is when someone infiltrates a merchant’s network and steals customer information. This can include name, address, social security number, card number, and various other types of personal information.

The list of companies involved in data breaches is continuing to grow and there’s a lot of differing information out there.

So how do data breaches occur?

When you use your credit or debit card at a merchant, most have a system or program that enables them to process your payment. These systems then store the transaction information in an encrypted file for the purpose of records, verification, fraud claims, invoicing, etc.

What we call a “data breach” occurs when these systems are hacked or stolen. When this happens, the

www.mlivingnews.com

purpose is often to decrypt and obtain the stored card data. This information is then used to generate counterfeit cards or to make purchases online.

It’s important to keep in mind that these types of card breaches happen at the merchant level – not at your financial institution. Your financial institution system has not been breached, a 3rd party merchant did not have sufficient protections in place to secure their network.

The best way to protect yourself when a data breach happens is to get a new card number as soon as possible and keep a close watch on the activity of your account.

What do I need to know about income tax when I lose a spouse?

If you do not have an attorney or tax advisor, call the IRS toll-free at 800-829-1040 for answers to specific tax questions.

Uncertainty about income tax issues can add to the stress experienced from the death of a spouse. You should meet with your family attorney and/or tax advisor as soon as possible to review your particular tax and estate circumstances. Bring a detailed list of your questions to the meeting.

There are a number of options available, including:

Is there financial help if I need it?

Looking Back

Ready, set, write!

The beginning is always the hardest part. Want to write, but unsure where to start? All you need is an idea. Get your creative juices flowing and break beyond writer’s block with some of these journaling prompts:

In Your Own ‘Write’

Finding a use for your inspiration

By Tom Cole John Lennon wrote a novelette called In His Own Write. Lennon always liked puns and a play on words or double meanings of words, hence the name the Beatles. But I really feel that Lennon was onto something, and that “something” is writing. I believe that everyone should write and, more importantly, that everyone can write.

Finding your reason

Writing is very relaxing. It takes you away from everyday life. It really takes you on an excursion into your own little literary world. Writing is writing. It doesn’t matter if your writing takes the form of daily journals, blogs, lengthy letters or comprehensive emails.

It can be writing songs, plays, novels, novelettes or short stories. To be able to express yourself in writing is a wonderful experience. I think that sometimes people don’t write because

Today, I am grateful for…

A risk I am glad I took…

they are afraid of critical grammarians.

It is not the grammar that is important; it is expressingan idea, a concept. e.e. cummings decided to not use capitalization and Hawthorne was the king of run-on sentences. Writing is therapy. It can improve your life and become a source of great enjoyment to you.

Sharing your story

Everyone has a story in them that can be written down, and everyone has interesting ideas and concepts that can make other people think.

Some can be dramatic, like an exposé

by Woodward and Bernstein, while others can be as simple as a family cookbook that will be passed down for many years.

Writing is writing; just do it.

Writing will make a difference in your life. The the best way to write is to start jotting down simple thoughts and ideas every day.

The rock group Foreigner, formed in 1976, has sold about 80 million records and is still touring today. One particular year the band was in New York, scheduled to perform the day after a Rangers hockey game at Madison Square Garden. Depending on who tells the story, lead singer Lou Gramm or guitarist Mick Jones, one or both of them were watching the hockey game when the Rangers goalie John Davidson was hit in the head with a puck on a high shot on the goal and was knocked out, lying on the ice. When Davidson was finally led off the ice, the announcers providing commentary for the game said, “I’ll bet he is going to have double vision for a while.” Jones said he’d never heard that expression before; Gramm said it made a “siren go off” in his head. Either way, the pair locked on to the words “double vision” and wrote the song that became an album title.

“Double Vision” sold millions of copies and reached No. 2 on the charts in the U.S. It is your right to write. Don’t miss the opportunity.

My favorite emotion to feel...

A fear that I have overcome…

The best gift I ever received…

In the next year, I really want to…

An experience that gave me strength…

Five ways to win my heart…

Ten things that make me really happy…

A lesson I had to learn the hard way...

Three things I’d like to teach others…

The hardest part about loving me is…

Sometimes I miss…

I always think “What if…”

One thing I wish I could undo…

Describe your childhood neighborhood.

How does it compare to where you live now?

I am afraid to…

The last thing I was disappointed in/by….

I felt pure joy when…

I feel inspired by…

Giving Hannah’s Socks: A Different Kind of Sole Young lady learns an early lesson

By Pamela S. Crabtree, MLS “I’d give them the shirt off my back!” How many times have you heard that phrase or even used it yourself? Maybe it’s time to rephrase that idiom to “I’d give them the socks off my feet.” That’s exactly what Hannah Turner endeavored to do in 2004.

According to the Hannah’s Socks (HS) website (hannahssocks.org/), “What began as the simple, intuitive wish of a 4-year old girl to give a homeless man her socks has blossomed into a successful, nationally recognized program that has helped hundreds of thousands of people in need and raised the awareness of how a simple act can change the face of poverty and homelessness in our region.”

Hannah’s Idea

Robin Laird, who lives in Perrysburg, has been executive director of Hannah’s Socks since 2014. “Hannah was one of eight adopted children of Doris and Vic Turner and she and her family regularly participated in volunteer work, giving back to the community. They were at the Cherry Street Mission on Thanksgiving Day (in 2004) and she (Hannah) saw a man with no socks and wanted to give him her socks,” Laird said.

The story goes that Hannah’s mom said the socks wouldn’t fit, but promised Hannah they would return the next day with 100 pairs of socks. The Turner family soon discovered socks were the most needed item in homeless shelters.

Michael Brough of Perrysburg, who has been president of the HS Board of Directors for three years, said though the Turners moved to North Carolina several years ago and Hannah is now 17 years old, the HS mission statement of “providing dignity, one pair of socks at a time” is as relevant now as when Hannah and her family founded the program in 2004.

HS is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit with an “unmanned office, basically storage bins, where all the socks are stored.” said Laird. The only paid staffer works part-time for a minimum wage.

March 2018

Walker is with you every step of the way.

Community Partners

HS donates regularly “to over 50 partners” said Brough. Partners are other nonprofits such as Bethany House, The Boys & Girls Clubs of Toledo and the Aurora Project. Toledo Public Schools and schools in Lima and Fremont are also partners.

HS also has partners in Southeast Michigan and the Detroit metropolitan area.

Since HS’ founding, “well over a million…probably a million and a half socks have been collected. HS collects between two and three thousand (socks) a month, pushing out about 50,000 a year,” Laird said.

Brough coordinates the (HS) board with the Friends of Hannah’s, people and companies that help out by having sock drives, being at farmers’ markets to help advertise or doing a “buy-a-pair-we-donate-a-pair” project.

HS also has a team of volunteers who help when the program receives large donations of socks. Laird said, “We have four different groups of adults with disabilities that come in, from Sunshine, Bittersweet, Lott and adults from Person Centered Services, who help us sort.”

HS does not receive federal or state funding but instead counts on donations throughout the year and fundraisers. HS major 2018 fundraiser, “Sole Train,” will be held on March 9 at Parkway Place.

natural immune system’s cancer-killing reaction. Checkpoint inhibitor drugs stop the shutdown messages and allow the immune response to attack cancer cells. These drugs have not yet been approved for prostate cancer treatment.

Also discussed at IPCR were the positive effects of exercise on prostate cancer patients. Exercise has not only been shown to slow tumor growth and improve survival, but it has also decreased anxiety and improved the self-esteem of patients. Exercise is also helpful to counteract treatments, which deplete patient energy.

New Developments in Prostate Cancer Screening and Treatment Men should heed new info

by Stephen Roberts, PhD According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) the estimated number of new cases of prostate cancer in 2017 was 161,360. The number of deaths from the cancer in that same year was estimated to be 26,730. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men; one man in 38 will eventually die from the disease. In 2014 a little over 3 million men in the United States were living with prostate cancer.

Screenings for prevention

To protect ourselves from this cancer we undergo screening which most often has consisted of a digital rectal exam and a measurement of the PSA blood levels. Dr. Emilia Ripoll indicates that the PSA test has saved thousands of lives. It does have its limitations however. According to Dr. Andrew Stephenson at the Cleveland Clinic, the PSA test produces too many false positives— an indication of cancer when it is not actually present. This causes too many men to needlessly undergo prostate biopsies.

In place of the traditional PSA test many physicians are now using the 4Kscore test. The 4Kscore test uses four prostate-specific measures that determines the risk for aggressive

prostate cancer— with the need for prostate biopsies being decreased by 30 to 50 percent.

Conventional treatment of prostate cancer has been to destroy the tissue in the prostate or remove the prostate gland. This is not effective if the cancer has spread outside the gland.

Thankfully, newer treatment options also include less invasive techniques.

At a recent meeting of the Institute for Prostate Cancer Research (IPCR) new treatment strategies were discussed. One promising development focuses on immunotherapy as a means of slowing the growth of tumors, which decreases the lethality. One means of using immunotherapy is to: n Collect patients’ white blood cells (WBC). n Expose WBCs to a cancer tumor protein to stimulate them. n Return WBCs to the patients’ bloodstream, which activates T cells, which kill cancer.

Another immunotherapy strategy involves using drugs called checkpoint inhibitors. Cancer tumors are able to attack and shut down our

Sophisticated dining

Sophisticated dining a local touch at Rasa Restaurant

INGREDIENTS 2 oz ginger skin - removed and chopped rough

By Jeff McGinnis Since opening in November, the character of Rasa Restaurant and Bar— located on Bancroft St., just off Ottawa Park— has revolved around a concepts. Local.

Seasonal. Healthy. Community.

Everything presented in the sophisticated, but not pretentious, establishment is focused on being locally made— from the produce used in the composition of the food to the wood used in the making of the tables. The menu is constantly evolving in response to the availability of fresh ingredients. The dishes provide healthy, yet delicious, cuisine that breaks the stereotype of foods that are good for you being less pleasing to the palate. And Rasa also works to build a rapport with customers, giving them a sense of ownership of, and pride in what they do.

“In every little detail, in every little aspect, we try to stay true to our concept, which is organic, local, seasonal,” said Brent Martin, owner and general manager. “Simple. Fresh.”

2 oz. grape seed oil

“Anyone can sell a hamburger, anyone can sell a salad. I think what makes people come back is the relationship that they build with the restaurant”

The history

For Martin, who grew up in Ottawa Hills just a stone’s throw from Rasa’s current location, the creation of the restaurant feels like a culmination of a life’s journey.

Brent Martin, Rasa owner.

“It’s sort of been a long-time coming, it’s a project that has been on my list,” Martin said. “I went to art school to study interior design, before that I was in the culinary program, studying hospitality. And I think just moving back to Toledo and having some experience traveling, and living in bigger metropolitan cities— there’s a lot more offered, not only just dining out but a place to relax and hang out and have an experience, rather than just go out to eat.”

One particular establishment that struck him on his journeys abroad was La Menagere, a concept restaurant in Florence, Italy. A combination bar and restaurant that presents delicious cuisine in a beautiful, homey setting, La Menagere was a key touchstone when Martin began setting out the concept for his own restaurant in his hometown.

1 oz. tomato paste (this is packed with umani) 1 whole lime - don’t forget the zest 4 garlic cloves - smashed to remove skin

The decor

From the bright, warm lighting and white color palate, to the abundance of potted plants that decorate the space, Rasa is clearly out to set its own unique identity from the second one enters its doors. It’s a visual concept that is meant to evolve and grow with time, Martin explained.

“I think with anything I do, designwise, it’s always organic in nature. I set out with an idea, and it sort of takes a life of its own. And that’s sort of what happened here,” Martin said.

“And also, I wanted to strip away the sense of commercialism. Because what a lot of people say when they come in is, ‘Oh, it feels like home.

I feel like I’m in somebody’s house.’

So we wanted to curate an experience that felt like somebody’s home, it felt comfortable to be here, to stay here, to hang out here. And to want to come back.”

1 shallot - skinned 1 Tbsp. Honey or Agave 3 1/2 oz. Miso (use Miso Master or Cold Mountain mellow white) 6 oz. Tahini

PREPARATION

Peel outer layer of ginger and use a hand juicer on limes.

Put Tahini in the food processor. Add tomato paste and blend on low until the paste becomes smoother. Add shallot, garlic and ginger (ginger has a fibrous strand that will change the consistancy slightly).

Add grape seed oil to thin out the mixture (add more oil for a thinner dressing or reduce oil if you want it thicker), Add miso, honey and lime juice to blends. The color should be a light hue of auburn.

The fare

“The food is something different,” Martin said. “We’re experimenting with really simple ingredients, but really fresh ingredients. And the travel time from the farm to the table is, in a lot of cases, less than 20 or 30 minutes.”

When many diners think of the words “organic” or “healthy,” they have a tendency to retreat back to the comfort food of their local diner. The stereotype is that one has to sacrifice flavor in order to eat something good for you— a stereotype that Rasa tries to shatter with every item it presents.

“One of our best-selling dishes is the cauliflower steak,” Martin said. “It’s a totally vegan dish, and we treat the cauliflower like it’s a piece of steak, in that we cut it pretty thick, then we sear it on both sides at high temperature so it gets really caramelized. It has a lot of flavor.”

Rasa’s current dinner menu features other favorites like Stir Fry Broccolini and the Kaleidoscope Greens Salad, with collards, mushrooms and shallots served with a lemon vinaigrette. It also offers a cheeseburger, but true to RASA’s soul, the beef comes from local, grass-fed cows.

“We’re sort of trying to bridge the gap between fast casual, which is what a lot of Toledo has, and the really fine dining places, where people only go to for special occasions.” Martin said.

The Bottom Line

With Rasa, Martin and his staff have indeed created a space that merges the two aesthetics into a sublime dining experience, one that feels both sophisticated and personable.

Mary Dawson, artist in (her) residence.

Maumee Marvel

By Pat Nowak Mary Dawson’s Maumee home is filled with unique art by named and local artists, and the result is fabulous. The three story townhouse, featuring an open floor plan, was lovingly updated when Mary purchased the property five years ago. Retaining existing flooring and cabinetry, she designed the house to take advantage of the abundant light and extensive wall areas and shelves for her art collection.

Soft shades of gray infuse the area, allowing the art to take center stage. Mary’s career in graphic design, coupled with a stint as a gallery manager, has allowed her to accumulate pieces from artists known throughout the world including David Hockney,Chuck Close, Jim Dine, notable Latin American artists Zuniga, Francesco Toledo and Felipe Castaneda as well as preColumbian pieces. Her local favorite artist are Skot Horn and her son Ian Dawson who works with metals.

Mary is also a ceramic artist, using her vast talents to enhance the home. Her new mission— to purchase a piece from a local artist each time she sells a piece that is part of her international collection— allows for dramatic and continued changes in the stunning home.
