Profiles Hormann Hangs Up Microphone WTVG weekend anchor leaves broadcasting after 30 years

by Jeff McGinnis

Bill Hormann with his sons Connor and Ryan Reyes-Hormann, and his wife Peverley Hormann. PHOTO COURTESY: BILL HORMANN

After more than three decades on the airwaves, 18 of them working at Toledo stations, newscaster Bill Hormann announced his retirement during his 11pm broadcast on Sunday, June 30.

The primary reasons for his departure were probably asleep in their beds at home as he said his final farewells: his twin seven-year-old sons, Connor and Ryan.

“I had been doing this for 33 years, and the station changed my schedule so that I was working nightside reporting and working weekends as the news anchor,” Hormann said in an interview. “During the week, I’d see my kids for literally 45 minutes a day, then on the weekends, when they were off of school all day, I was working afternoons and nights.

September 2019

“So over a week’s period, I was spending about 15, 17 hours with them. And that just was not something I wanted to do,” he said. “I thought, I’ve given my life to my television career. Now it’s time to give my life to my kids.”

20 years in Toledo

Hormann, 57, started broadcasting in Toledo on November 1, 2000, working as an anchor on WTOL for two years before jumping to WTVG. A native of Washington D.C., Hormann said the biggest change he saw during his lengthy broadcasting career came with the rise of the internet.

“We’re able to get to our viewers, readers, much faster now— almost instantaneously,” he said. “That comes with some problems, of course. Sometimes

the information you’re getting firsthand is not 100% accurate. There’s always that drive to beat the competition to a story, so you try to be as accurate as you can.”

Toledo is home

The changes in reporting were paralleled by the changes in the community he reported on, Hormann said. Toledo has changed since he first came to the city, particularly the revitalization of the downtown area.

“When I had my first interview down here, in 2000, we drove through the warehouse district and there was nothing down there. There wasn’t even a ballpark yet,” Hormann said.

“And now look at the transformation.

I think that’s really exciting, and honestly, that’s why we decided that we’re going to make Toledo our home.”

Hormann has worked as a realtor with ReMax Preferred Associates for the past five years, a career he will continue now that he’s hung up his microphone. But no matter what, Hormann said, his focus will be on his family.

“I missed so much. Easter egg hunts.

Trips to the zoo,” he said. “Sunday afternoon, watching the football game with them. Those are things I couldn’t do before that I can now devote more time to. This is their time, not my time.”

I have always wanted to...

Be the press secretary for the president of the United States.

What advice would you give to the younger you? Don’t second guess yourself.

What is your pet peeve?

Gosh, there are so many...

I guess, people who are cruel to others. Bullies.

Who is someone you’d like to meet? Fredrick Douglass and Ronald Reagan.

What is something that most people don’t know about you? When I was in my teens— 15, 16 years old— I was seriously on the track to becoming a professional bowler. That would have been the mid-1970s.

What are the words you live by? From Dr. Seuss: ‘Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.’

What inspires you now?

My kids. Making sure they are happy, and safe and healthy.

Favorite movie? Every year, I used to watch the movie ‘Patton.’

And I love that movie. But perhaps the movie I like the most is ‘All the President’s Men.’ Who do you most admire?

People who are willing to put their lives on the line, selflessly, for others.

Playing with Pups for a Cause

WILLOW ANDMEME

KAYLAMCCOY WITHBOOZER

By Erin Holden

If you love dogs, then the Assistance Dogs for Achieving Independence (ADAI) is a volunteer opportunity that you won’t be able to turn down.

Part of The Ability Center’s work for people with disabilities, this is a cause that includes such adorable programs as Puppy Smart Start, Hug a Pup, and others, all of which prepare dogs for placement with a people who need their assistance.

PUPPYKINDERGARTEN

ERICSHANTEAU ANDUTAH

ADAI consistently receives new litters of future service dog puppies that need to be socialized.

The program is called Puppy Smart Start, and it is an important aspect of ACT’s mission to make Toledo the most disability-friendly community in the U.S. If you are looking to help out ADAI in other ways, the organization is looking for locations to host Hug a Pup, an event where the puppies from Smart Start are brought to different locations so they can be exposed to new environments and more people.

OLLIE THEDOG

ADAI has other programs that extend through the dogs’ development up until they enter final training at 18 weeks, all of which vary in their level of commitment.

For instance, if you are interested in fostering but don’t have transportation, then you may become a dog sitter. A foster will drop off the dog at your home and then pick them up later in the day. This is an on-call volunteering position for fosters who could use help from time to time.

You can also work as a full-time fostering volunteer so that you can care for a dog from the time it is 12 weeks to two years old.

“They do all kinds of personal care, public access training, commands, and obedience training,” explains ACT Volunteer Coordinator Audrey Johnson. “Everybody gets something different from it,” she says of volunteer work with ADAI. “Some say they want to be in it to help the community; others do it because they love animals. Many do it because they know how important living independently is, and they want to help that mission. It’s just a great benefit for all.”

The Dog Days of Downtown

Toledo Shelter Roundup

By Erin Holden

PITBULL-BOXERPUP, TASHA,EMBRACES CITYLIFE

By Erin Holden

The no-kill shelters listed below vary in their approach to saving pets, but they all agree that it is much better to find a pet at a shelter than to support the often inhumane and shockingly unregulated puppy mill industry. Pet stores have been known to sell dogs from these mills, so do your research to avoid supporting a practice that may not be a good situation for the animals involved. If you are looking to adopt a pet, or are forced to surrender a pet, you can rest easy that these five area shelters will do everything they can to help.

TOLEDOAREA HUMANESOCIETY The Toledo Area Humane Society only euthanizes when there is no medical hope for the animal or if it exhibits severe aggression, which is a call that the staff makes after working with the animals for as long as they can.

A day in the life of Tasha, a brindle pitbull-boxer mix and the cutest resident of the Bartley Loft apartments downtown, is all about going out with her dog-walker three times a week. She meets all kinds of people who offer her water at area businesses— like Tin Can and Ye Olde Cock N’ Bull— before heading back home to relax on her balcony settee, basking in the sun while taking in the sights and sounds of Toledo’s warehouse district.

It’s a dog’s life, and we are jealous. Tasha’s mom, Laura Baird, is a district nurse for Ottawa Hills. She and her husband, Tom, own the Ottawa Tavern and are very invested in downtown, so it made sense for them to move from Ottawa Hills to the Bartley Lofts five years ago, after their kids left the nest. It’s also been great for Tasha.

“I enjoy being able to walk and see all the revitalization in the company of someone I love— my dog!”

Baird says, adding that the culture downtown is different than what she

experienced in the suburbs in terms of people’s reactions to a pit.

When she’s not working, Baird takes Tasha for walks and runs early in the morning to beat the heat, sometimes letting her go off-leash in an open area near the docks. Tasha also has training two times a week at John Brown’s Let’s Train! Dog Training when she’s not with Laura or going for walks with personal dogwalker Angela May. Basically, she has a well-established routine that gets her out of the apartment with plenty of exercise.

For folks considering moving downtown who are unsure about having a dog in an apartment or loft, Baird has this advice: “Spend a day with Laura and Tasha,” she says with a laugh. “I can show you how nice it is to be downtown and have a dog. If you really want to move downtown, you’ll make it work. Tasha has a great life.”

A few things that set TAHS apart: they have legal jurisdiction to prosecute in cases of animal cruelty; they take in “pocket pets”—rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rats —and livestock ranging from chickens to horses; and they temporarily hold animals for pet owners who have had to relocate.

Adoption fees, which range from $35 for senior cats to $100 for kittens and $75 for senior dogs to $325 for puppies, include spaying, neutering, and age-appropriate vaccinations.

827 Illinois Ave. 419-891-0705.

Toledohumane.org.

MAUMEEVALLEY SAVE-A-PET This no-kill shelter takes in animals from the public and other area animal shelters, including Wood County Animal Shelter and Lucas County Canine Care & Control (also known as LC4). They also receive animals from Kentucky and work with a group that brings animals from Qatar.

www.mlivingnews.com

MVSAP has a fund dedicated to helping pet owners keep their pets when they have financial hardships.

They also have a screened-in area for their cats to roam so they can gauge behavior and best determine where they should be placed.

Adoption prices, $75 for a cat and $250 for a dog, include spaying and neutering.

5250 Hill Ave. 419-537-9663.

Maumeevalleysaveapet.org.

LUCASCOUNTYCANINE CARE&CONTROL(LC4) This dog shelter, which takes in strays from Lucas County and accepts owner surrenders, will only euthanize for reasons other than the animal’s health in a few specific instances, such as severe aggression with humans and other dogs.

They also provide owner-requested euthanasia for dogs, saving people money when they would otherwise have a high bill from their vet. LC4 does work with other shelters (like MVSAP) who take some of the dogs with behavioral and medical issues.

Other than for reasons of health or aggression, the shelter has no time limit on how long they will keep dogs.

The adoption fee is $125 for a spayed or neutered dog.

TOLEDOANIMALRESCUE Founded in 1927, Toledo Animal Rescue is Toledo’s oldest no-kill shelter. They offer some unique services, including training to make their dogs more adoptable.

The Rehome Program helps family members of pet owners who have passed away— or who’ve had to go to a nursing home­— by taking care of the animals so that pet owners don’t have to fear what will happen when they aren’t around.

Adoptions prices, which range from $20 to $50 for cats and from $85 to $95 for dogs, include spaying and neutering.

640 Wyman St. 419-382-1130.

PAWSANDWHISKERS The only no-kill felineonly shelter in the Toledo area, Paws and Whiskers has been around for almost 23 years. When it comes to euthanizing, the shelter will do everything medically possible to save a cat. To push more adoptions, they offer a buy-one-getone-half special. Adoption prices range from $25 to $100, depending on the cat’s age, and includes spaying or neutering, the medical exam, and shots.

We’re proud to support and serve our community for over 60 years.

We fight to get you the justice and compensation you deserve.

Paws and Whiskers is a non-profit that needs volunteers, particularly for fostering.

Abbie Kramer is not your typical kid. Five years ago, when she was just shy of seven years old, her parents offered a golden opportunity: $100 to start her own business.

Inspired by her love for her dogs and her cat, Abbie began making pet treats, whipping up her own special concoctions: Miss Abbie’s Pet Treats.

Within one month, Abbie and her family began selling the all-natural Miss Abbie’s Treats at the Toledo Farmers’ Market and they continue to see large sales.

“We go through typically 200 pounds of bones on a Saturday, 30 pounds of pig ears, and then our number one treat is our chicken jerky, followed by bacon and liver,” said Abbie’s mom, Beth.

In 2016, the family opened an official online store at missabbiespettreats.com to augment their weekly sales at the Farmers’ Market.

The results have been phenomenal: in last six months, the business grew three times as fast as it did at the beginning.

Abbie Kramer, owner of Miss Abbie’s Pet Treats.

But despite the rapid expansion, for Abbie— now 12— and her family, the process of making the treats is just the same as it was when they first began five years ago.

“We try not to let any part of the animal go to waste,” Beth said. “We get our bones directly from a couple of different farmers in the area and cut them ourselves, which is why none of them are straight. We handle everything very carefully.”

Use Caution When Using Craig’s List

By Linda Koss When it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

That’s what a West Toledo woman thought when she advertised her old scooter chair on Craig’s List, only to find an immediate buyer from California. They said they were buying the chair for their grandma in Ohio (“They threw the word ‘grandma’ around Dick Eppstein, a lot.”). They President, Local BBB not only offered to match her asking price of $800, but sent her a check for $1500.

They explained to the seller that “we were to keep $800, and the other $700 was to be given to the people who picked the chair up to deliver to grandma.”

But the would-be seller took both the big check and her suspicions to the local Better Business Bureau.

The BBB explained the scam: “The check they sent wasn’t drawn on a real bank, or any bank, it was just printed up,” If the woman had taken it, and handed both the scooter and $700 to the people delivering the chair to the fictional grandma, the frauds would have both the chair and cash, and the seller would have a worthless ‘check.’

Instead of following through with the transaction, the would-be victim filed a complaint with the police.

Signs of a Scam

According to Dick Eppstein, President of the Northwest Ohio/Southeast Michigan Better Business Bureau, this had many of the earmarks of a scam. For instance, the buyers

September 2019

weren’t local, and they had a touching, convincing story of “grandma” all prepared. “Con artists don’t look like con artists,” he notes, “and they always have a great story.” But he emphasized that buying or selling on Craig’s List doesn’t have to be a bad experience.

Use the following rules to protect yourself:

Do they offer much more than the agreed-upon price, and ask you to deposit the check and send the excess money to someone else? No matter how convincing the explanation, their check is probably worthless. If you go along with the scheme, you will have sent some of your own money for them to keep.

Are they local? While Eppstein admits that it’s hard to know who is truly local on the internet, it’s easier to commit fraud from a long distance locale. For instance, fake dog breeders will often show pictures of nonexistent dogs, charge a fee for the animal, then demand a “shipping fee,” then “vaccination fees” or many more fees before disappearing entirely without delivering a pet.

Do they agree to meet in a safe, public place to exchange payment and goods? The best possible place is the parking lot of a local police station. Avoid doing the exchange in an isolated place or at your home.

Finally, is it too good to be true?

Listen to your common sense. If it seems too good, it probably is. If you aren’t sure, call the BBB at 419-5313116 and discuss your doubts. If there are real red flags, they will be happy to point them out.

Renée’s Survivor Shop

Renée Schick started Renee’s Survivor Shop in 2003 when she had difficulty finding the cancer-related products that she needed after being diagnosed with cancer at 36. Once she defeated the disease, her passions turned to helping others in a similar situation have an easier time navigating between needs, wants and encouragement.

Mastectomy products such as preand post-surgical wear, radiation bras and breast forms are offered in great variety along with wigs and head coverings for men, women and children.

Chemotherapy and radiation-related items are available to help with nausea, skin and scalp irritation and the metallic taste left in the mouth from cancer-eradicating drugs.

Renée’s Survivor Shop has now been sold to the Eleanor N. Dana Cancer Center at the University of Toledo Health Sciences Campus, 1325 Conference Drive, Toledo. The store is open Monday-Friday from 9-4 pm. For more information, visit utmc.utoledo.edu/centers/cancer/ renees-survivor-shop/

Traditional Italian Meets the West Side Incorvaia’s Bene Italiano brings 40 years’ experience to a new table

By Amy Campbell Incorvaia’s Bene Italiano is one of the Franklin Park area’s newest restaurants, and it’s already making a big impression. A recent Sunday night saw a steady stream of customers, all of whom— including a walk-in party of 12— were easily accommodated thanks to the ample dining room and plenty of wait staff at the ready. The casual atmosphere with roomy booths and tables lends itself to groups big and small, and a dedicated carry-out counter with its own entrance makes picking up a pizza after work quick and easy.

Teresa Incorvaia, co-owner, manager and force-of-nature, said she shopped around for locations, but knew when she walked into the Market Place Shops’ space, once occupied by a Chinese buffet, that this was the right place. “I knew automatically,” she said. “I just had a vision of what I could make the place into.”

Along with 30 family members, she showed up every weekend to make the space into a warm and welcoming place for great Italian food, including

sandwiches, hearty salads and delicious homemade desserts.

You’ll need a box

While my two friends and I were seated immediately, we had to apologetically wave-off our server more than once while we deliberated over our orders. I chose relatively quickly because once my eyes fell upon manicotti, my search was over. It’s a dish I’ve always liked but don’t always find in restaurants, probably due to the rather labor-intensive process of making it the old-fashioned way. My friend Jim ultimately decided on spaghetti with meat sauce and a meatball, while his wife, Laura, chose a meat-lovers pizza on a gluten-free cauliflower crust. The pasta dishes came with bread and a salad, with dressing on the side. Try the house dressing, a red-wine vinaigrette. You won’t be sorry.

Incorvaia’s offers a selection of appetizers but it was a good thing we hadn’t ordered any because the ample servings ensured leftovers for all three of us. My manicotti was indeed

baked, and smothered in Keith Incorvaia’s house-made marinara sauce, the perfect balance of tangy and sweet.

It also came with an unexpected side of spaghetti. “Everything comes with spaghetti,” Teresa Incorvaia told me as she buzzed by our table. “It’s an Italian thing.” It was an Italian thing that made a great lunch the next day.

Jim was impressed with his flavorful meat sauce, and Laura, a gluten-free connoisseur by necessity, enjoyed her pizza’s thin crust and generous toppings.

I don’t get dessert very often, but I couldn’t resist Incorvaia’s homemade German chocolate cake, and I wasn’t disappointed. For me, the real draw of German chocolate cake is the coconut and pecan frosting, so if the cake is a little dry it gets a pass. At Incorvaia’s, however, the very dark chocolate cake is so moist it’s a treat in itself. Jim also got dessert; we had agreed to share tastes with each other, and it almost worked. I passed him a sliver of the yummy cake while he tried his cannoli and assured us it was delicious. A few Mon–Thurs 11am-11pm | Fri & Sat 11am-12 Midnight

minutes later I heard “oops…” It was so good he forgot to share.

A new legacy

Incorvaia’s Bene Italiano is a silver lining for Teresa and Keith Incorvaia. Keith and his brother, Chris, had cooked together for 40 years, but family differences late last year left them without a place to do it.

“This is all my husband and my brother-in-law knew how to do,” Teresa said. “So I decided we were going to start another restaurant.”

In addition to the dining room, Incorvaia’s has a banquet room for onsite catering that seats 110, and will soon add Grub Hub delivery to the restaurant’s services.

Incorvaia’s Bene Italiano Open Tuesday through Thursday 11am9:30pm; Friday and Saturday 11am10pm; Sunday 1-7:30pm; closed Monday. 4751 Monroe St., 419-407-5776. beneitaliano.com
