Political parties

here will be many opportunities for Toledo voters to hear from the slate of mayoral candidates, but most will be restricted by campaign and media parameters. The Ottawa Tavern, 1817 Adams St., is bringing back its weekly Political Parties series, an informal meet and greet featuring a different declared Toledo mayoral candidate each week. The sessions will take place from 7-9 p.m. Tuesdays, followed by food and entertainment. Each candidate has been invited to speak, discuss his or her positions and entertain questions during the twohour period. Scheduled guests include Lucas Thomas F. Pounds County Auditor Anita Lopez (who was scheduled to appear July 9 but rescheduled for Aug. 27 — a last-minute cancellation that doesn’t reflect well on her), Councilman D. Michael Collins (July 16), Alan Cox (July 23), Mayor Mike Bell (July 30), Opal Covey (Aug. 6) and Councilman Joe McNamara (Aug. 13). Attendees can meet the candidates, discuss the issues and learn more about their positions in an informal setting, according to a news release. “This is the second time we have done this so we are really excited to be presenting this forum for political discussion again,” said Ottawa Tavern owner Tom Baird. “We want to give the candidates some time to informally meet the voters and hear what is on their minds. This promises to be especially important to the City of Toledo as it maps its future direction for the next four to eight years.” Baird said the Ottawa Tavern ran a similar series before the 2009 mayoral race and it was well-attended and well-received enough to warrant organizing the event again. Toledo Free Press and 1370 WSPD are media sponsors for the event. For more information, visit www.otavern.com. Don’t count on sound bites and headlines; hear from the candidates for yourself before you make up your mind. O Thomas F.

LIGHTING THE FUSE

his summer marks the 70th birthday of my mother- Buckongahelas’ family reunion in 1995. We gathered on the Riverview side, which I knew ofin-law Kay, our family’s Nana.

n MILLER CONTINUED FROM 3 The 7,540 combinations of families were photographed in slightly less time than it took for Mad Anthony Wayne to defeat Lincoln’s Union forces in the Battle of Fallen Timbers. After the photo, the family threw its collective goose poop-encrusted shoes into the river and headed for lunch. Some of the family went to nearby P.F. Chang’s, but wanting to confirm the rest of the afternoon’s festivities, several of us drove Downtown to check in to our rooms at the Park Inn on North Summit Street. For the past few years, a small group of us has booked a room near the top of the hotel, facing the river, to watch the city’s fireworks. With our young children, it is easier to watch the displays from nearly eye level and then tuck them in, thus avoiding crowds, heat, bugs and the other joys of standing shoulder to shoulder with 10,000 people. We checked in to our rooms, greeted by a hotel full of Jehovah’s Witnesses conventioneers. The Witnesses were very friendly in the elevators and corridors and not a single one was pushy or working to convert anyone, but I still noticed that other hotel guests tended to step around them and avoid them, with the same deliberate choreography we employed to step around goose poop at Side Cut Metropark. After settling in, nearly a dozen of us walked the few blocks to The Blarney Irish Pub for lunch. My Hanigan in-laws are hardcore Irish, so it was the perfect choice for them to tip back a Guinness. The Blarney was not serving drisheen, barmbrack or crubeens, but its salads, sandwiches and fish and chips were stellar. The centerpiece of the afternoon was a visit to Fifth Third Field to watch the Mud Hens battle the Columbus Clippers. We bought 30 seats, two rows of 15, right along the first base line, for the more than reasonable price of $9 per ticket. None of our guests had been to Fifth Third Field, and I took pride in their impressed reactions to the fine ballpark. The kids got to share cotton candy, many adult beverages were consumed and the Mud Hens whipped the Clippers 7-0. Kay’s 70th birthday was duly noted on the video scoreboard and as a bonus, one of our party who was arriving late grabbed a home run ball as it sailed onto Monroe Street. It may be a cliché to mention Fifth Third Field as one of Toledo’s uncontested jewels, but our afternoon reinforced that reputation and left a great impression with our family guests. We thought we would zip back to The Blarney to grab some food to set out at the hotel, so we ordered a dozen different appetizers and enjoyed another round of beer while we waited. By this time, the fireworks and ballgame crowd had The Blarney packed to capacity, so we knew it would be a longer wait than usual. Inside, Arctic

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com Clam was cranking out one singalong song after another, with lead singer Nicole Khoury at her most ardent. Watching Khoury as she shakes and grinds her diva groove thing makes me feel like I am cheating on my wife. Just as the food was delivered in a small mountain of Styrofoam containers, the fireworks began blasting above Fifth Third Field. We needed to rush the food to the hotel before the city’s fireworks started, but with Monroe Street closed to foot traffic, we had to hustle down Jefferson Avenue and cut through the Seagate Convention Centre to get back to the hotel. Rushing through the crowd with fireworks blasting directly above us made me feel like I was a background player in a World War II movie. “Saving Private Ryan’s Nachos,” maybe. Safely ensconced in the room, with the kids’ “Happy Birthday Nana” banner framing the glass wall, we oohed and aahed as the fireworks blasted over the Maumee River. As I watched the reflection of the red and blue explosions in the water, my mind kept dwelling on the fate of little Elaina Steinfurth; Was the missing toddler under those waves, her lifeless little body illuminated in the muddy depths as the celebration flared above? The thought derailed my mood and made my heart incredibly heavy. So I was already emotional when my brother-in-law Brian began singing “God Bless America.” Within a few lines, nearly all of us joined in: “From the mountains, to the prairies/To the oceans, white with foam/God bless America/My home sweet home.” The fireworks punctuated our song, and I turned away to hide the tears that flowed for Elaina, mixed with overwhelming gratitude for my country and my family. After the fireworks, the kids were put to bed and, with many still-hungry adults on hand, we walked a few blocks to pick up pizzas from Home Slice on South St. Clair Street. The streets were packed with pedestrians and crawling cars, with crowds standing outside the busy bars. As we walked with the pizza boxes, every intoxicated woman from every car and in every alcove and on every corner called out for a piece, making various offers ranging from blowing a kiss to more Mardi Gras-oriented temptations. This knowledge does me absolutely no good, but single men, remember next July 4 to carry pizza down South St. Clair Street and you are almost guaranteed a piece. That was just one of many lessons and reflections on a great day for the family. I was gratified to show Toledo at its best. God Bless America, indeed. And happy birthday, Nana. O Michael S.

Tough Mudder proves true to its name

During the weekend of June 29-30, I joined about ground monkey bars. “The bars were just too far apart for me to grab. Plus, 16,000 people taking on the 12-mile, 20-obstacle course at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich. my hands were muddy, the bars were muddy and my Three-and-a-half hours later, limping and covered in arms were pretty tired by then,” Kelley said. “I got across mud, I crossed the finish line to claim victory and my two bars and had to let go into the pit of muddy water and swim the rest.” hard-earned orange sweatband.

n MUDDER CONTINUED FROM 4 Meck’s least favorite obstacle was Boa Constrictor, which involved crawling through a series of narrow pipes. “I’m 6-foot and have wide shoulders so it was rather hard for me to get up the tunnel out of the water,” Meck said.

Camaraderie

Phillip Dahlhofer, 29, of Haslett, Mich., believes there’s no single obstacle that’s the hardest, but that the event is more of a “cumulative stress that gets to you over time.” That’s where encouragement from teammates and fellow participants comes in — that and most people need help to overcome at least a few obstacles. I was planning to run with a team, but through a series of mishaps, we never found each other and I ended up running alone. I needed a boost over Glory Blades, Berlin Walls and Everest, but found quick and ready help. Warrior Carry, an obstacle in which one person must carry another, can’t be done alone. Tough Mudder is billed as “not a race but a challenge.” Participants are urged to put teamwork before course time.

Opinion

A Toledo tradition since 2005

“You can’t help but feel the camaraderie as you run,” Dahlhofer said. “Even when I ran solo last year I was amazed how quickly people started to work together and help each other out.” Kelley agreed. “My hamstrings started to seize up around the seventh mile, which was excruciating,” she said. “I could barely jog through all the mud. I ran with my friend Jamie and she was great in helping me to keep moving. I just kept thinking, ‘You don’t have to be fast; just keep going forward.’ It was grueling! “I couldn’t believe how great the other competitors were with helping. Everyone in our heat kind of kept an eye out for the rest of the competitors and kept the encouragement going.” Bechaz said she especially noticed the camaraderie at Everest, a 15-foot-tall quarter pipe. “Everyone turned back and made sure the next person jumping had a helping hand to pull them up,” she said. “Some people were up there helping for quite a while.” Failing ran with a team of 23 people. Each ran at his or her own pace, then waited for their teammates at each obstacle. They linked arms and ran through the finish line together.

“

With names like Walk the Plank, Kiss of Mud and Trench Warfare, each obstacle offers a unique challenge. The worst by far was Arctic Enema, which involves submersion in a tub of ice water. I couldn’t feel my legs for the next half mile.” Several participants said they wish they would have run more beforehand. “I did not run nearly enough,” Meck said. “My advice to people thinking about doing it would be to run, and then run some more. Training for running is the most important. People can help you over ob-

stacles, but no one can help you run. “You do feel the camaraderie,” Meck added. “There is a real feeling that you don’t want to let your team down.” Everyone said the feeling of achievement was the best part. “I felt so awesome and badass when I crossed the finish line,” Curie said. “I wished they would have timed it because I knew I did well. Mentally, I felt amazing. What kept me going is knowing that we are capable of doing so many things we feel are beyond ourselves if we just focus and push ourselves. I loved the looks I got from all the people who had not run the event when I was leaving. I was like, ‘Yup, I just did it!’”

Tough Mudder, but are looking for new challenges. Failing is thinking about the team challenge GORUCK while Dahlhofer’s next goal is World’s Toughest Mudder, a 24-hour Tough Mudder competition. “You can’t help but get swept up in the excitement of a Tough Mudder once you get there. After your first Tough Mudder you gain a lot of confidence,” Dahlhofer said. “Advice for anyone interested is train hard and just do it. Life is too short to live with regrets.” Cost is $85-$180. Those who don’t feel ready to enter the course can walk along the route as spectators for $20-$40. Spectators are appreciated for shouts of encouragement, snapping action shots, helping their loved ones hobble back to the car and driving home while they nap. Organizers of Tough Mudder don’t like to see the event compared to other mud runs, but those who can’t wait for next year can get a taste of the experience at The Survival Race, a 5K coming to Holland on Sept. 28, or Zombie Race, a 5K or 15K coming to Holland on Sept. 29.

Illness

The lone sour spot on the weekend was getting sick 24 hours later. The Michigan Department of Community Health is investigating an outbreak of norovirus among participants and spectators. Several hundred cases have been reported, but a cause has not been determined. However, the news is not enough to discourage most participants from signing up again. “I would do it again in a heartbeat,” Bechaz said. Dahlhofer and Failing both love

A Toledo newspaper sold by homeless and formerly homeless vendors is working through a busy summer after a leadership change. Toledo Streets is a “street paper” that was founded in 2009 by Amanda Moore. Moore had been serving as a volunteer with 1Matters, the organization that puts on Tent City, an annual outreach program for Toledo’s homeless. 1Matters has remained a main supporter of the paper. Last month, Moore, anticipating her upcoming marriage and impending move from Toledo, handed the reins to Jamie Rye and Christy Grob. Rye is taking on the role of editor in chief, while Grob serves as the director of vendor management. Rye, a Blissfield native who has lived in Toledo for five years, has worked with churches for over a decade, serving in pastoral and congregational care. He said that while he has no formal training in journalism, he has written for several publications, which has helped with his transition into the editorial role. “Writing has been more of a hobby that has developed into other opportunities,” he said. Rye added that getting to know Moore and 1Matters founder Ken Leslie through his work brought this opportunity to his door. n STREETS CONTINUES ON 8

Candidates file petitions for council, mayor By Bailey G. Dick

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer bdick@toledofreepress.com

Samuel Fooks has been a Toledo Streets vendor since May.

Three people hoping to be Toledo’s next mayor have made their campaigns official by filing petitions with the Lucas County Board of Elections. As of July 10, Lucas County Auditor Anita Lopez, City Councilman D. Michael Collins and writein candidate Don Gozdowski LOPEZ have submitted petitions with at least 750 signatures to the Lucas County Board of Elections. Incumbent Mayor Mike Bell planned to hand in his petition July 11 and City Councilman Joe McNamara planned to file his July 12, before the 4 p.m. deadline. Also expected to enter the race are Alan Cox, a neighborhood development specialist, and Libertarian candidate Michael Konwinski. Petitions for candidates seeking City Council seats are also due July

12. As of July 10, seven Toledoans have submitted their petitions to the Board of Elections. Incumbents Shaun Enright and Steven Steel filed their petitions July 9. Also submitting 250 signatures or more were Ernest McCarthy, Alfonso Navarez, Theresa Gabriel, Sean Nestor, Sandy Spang and Ron Johns. Johns, a Republican and 21-year-old University of Toledo student, said the process of filing for candidacy STEEL proved to be a challenge. “For a first timer, it was a little difficult. The information overload is the difficult part,” Johns said. “Once you understand everything, it’s less challenging. The time requirement is huge, but the paperwork wasn’t too hard.” The next step for Johns and anyone else seeking office in Lucas County is certification from the Board of Elections. Elections for City Council and Toledo mayor will take place Nov. 5. O

UROLOGY

Prostate Cancer Michael Rashid, MD, FACS Prostate cancer is a disease of the prostate and, therefore, only affects men. There are more than 230,000 men diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. It is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men. Although it’s one of the slowest forms of cancer, when detected late it can be difficult to treat. In the early stages of prostate cancer, most men experience no symptoms. By the time men start experiencing symptoms – such as frequent or painful urination, weight loss and bone pain – it’s more difficult to treat. That’s why getting annual screenings is important to monitor for signs of cancer.

n STREETS CONTINUED FROM 6 “Over the course of the last three or four years, I’ve done a lot of work with 1Matters, worked with Tent City, Food for Thought and LifeLine Toledo, I got to know Ken and Amanda. With Amanda getting married and

transitioning out of her role, they were looking for someone to take over. I just ended up being the right guy.” Rye emphasized that his goal is to continue to keep the paper centered on issues that are of primary importance to Toledo’s homeless.

“Because we work with the homeless population, justice issues are really prominent in what we do as a paper,” he said. “We try to have vendors be included in the writing of the paper, so we can give them a voice. We’re also giving them a skill that’s sort of long

term in entering the job force.” The independently run publication is part of a global network of more than 120 similar street paper programs. They are in the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. n STREETS CONTINUES ON 9

We are really blessed to be in this position.” Rye reported said Toledo Streets has 16 active vendors, and is coming off of its most successful month to date. He estimated circulation for May at 3,500 issues. When the organization secured

some additional funding from the City of Toledo last year, it opened the door for Grob to step in to manage and train vendors. Grob explained the process of hiring vendors, which starts off with a training program, after which a vendor will receive 10 free papers and a temporary badge to get them started. The papers are sold for a suggested $1 donation, after which the

vendor may return and buy a limited amount of papers for 25 cents each. After several successful cycles, the vendor is awarded a full badge and may purchase more papers freely. In addition to coordinating the vendors, Grob has studied other models of street papers around the country, and helps teach area homeless people additional skills to help them meet their goals. “I’ve been talking to Ann Arbor and Chicago to see what they do, to see how they do their training and orientation,” she said. “I also help [vendors] with communication, résumés and writing.” Toledo Streets vendors must follow a code of conduct in order to keep their badges, though second chances are allowed. “It’s not just, ‘One strike and you’re out,’” Grob said. “We start with verbal warnings, then they may get the badge taken away, but they are always allowed to come back. Most of the vendors respect each other and work well together.” One of those vendors, Samuel Fooks, is a 53-year-old former truck driver who moved to Toledo last year. He began selling the paper after meeting Grob through the Cherry Street Mission and Madison Food Service and Community Center. He said that since he’s been in Toledo, he has joined Ready for Life, a faith-based rehabilitation program that aims to restore hope and create opportunities for area homeless. Fooks asserted that the program and the newspaper have given him a new lease on life. “They offer redemption and hope for those who have been displaced by their actions and their choices that they’ve made, and they can’t survive on their own,” he said. “As I progress through the phases, it allows me to go out and get work. So far, it’s been a real success in my life. I really enjoy it, and I enjoy the people.” Fooks said he has six more months

I’m very, very serious about saving money and making sure I have a secure financial future when I get done with the program.” Fooks cited the solid support from people like Leslie, Grob and Rye as one of his reasons for success in the program, which encourages personal accomplishment and willpower. “It’s up to the individual, just the same as anything else,” Fooks said. “It’s up to the person, if they have enough perseverance.” Look for Toledo Streets vendors all around Downtown Toledo, including events, festivals and Mud Hens games this summer.

RELIGION

By David Yonke

EDITOR, TOLEDOFAVS.COM David.Yonke@ReligionNews.com

The Rev. Dave Claassen is one of Toledo’s longest-serving pastors. But after 37-and-a-half years leading MayfairPlymouth Congregational Christian Church, he’s getting ready to retire. “I don’t think I’m called to be here forever,” he said in a recent interview. Just as Claassen’s tenure at the West Toledo church at 5253 Bennett Road has been a model of commitment and longevity, his transition into retirement is an example of extraordinary planning and patience. The transition is already in place, in fact, even though the 62-year-old minister will not step down until November 2015. By then, Claassen will have served 40 years at the helm at Mayfair-Plymouth, which belongs to the National Association of Christian Congregational Churches. The Rev. Joe French, 30, an associate pastor at Mayfair-Plymouth, was approved as Claassen’s successor by a congregational vote in May. The Rev. Rupert Loyd Jr., also an associate pastor at Mayfair-Plymouth, is playing a key role in the changeover as well, using his more than 30 years in ministry and a doctorate degree in organizational leadership to oversee the process. The three ministers are taking turns preaching a sermon series titled “70 Days of Vision,” intended to help church members understand the purpose of church and what is expected of Christians. “Sixty seven percent of the people who go to church every Sunday don’t know the purpose of the church,” French said. Most people mistakenly believe that the church is there to “provide a place of fellowship” and for people to “share God’s love with one another,” he said. The real purpose, French said, is to make disciples — reaching people with the Gospel and training them to be strong, mature Christians. Church Doctor Ministries, an Indiana-based consulting firm, has been working with Mayfair-Plymouth’s staff and its congregation of about 275 to help them better understand their strengths and weaknesses as well as their purpose and mission. The two-year consulting process has included lengthy interviews with staff and church members, and Church Doctor has given Mayfair-Plymouth more than 200 recommendations. Some are minor, such as thanking God for the volunteers who greet people at the

church door before services. Others are more intense and demanding, including getting more lay people involved in ministry and developing better programs to engage the community. While Church Doctor was hired to help Mayfair-Plymouth move forward in mission and ministry, the evaluations are also helping French get to know the church he will eventually be leading. “It wasn’t exactly planned that way, but God planned it that way,” Claassen said. “Joe will start with his feet on the ground, knowing everything there is to know about Mayfair-Plymouth.” In the meantime, Claassen’s mentoring process includes weekly meetings with French in which the veteran pastor “downloads” his thoughts, observations, suggestions and history lessons to his successor. Loyd, meanwhile, has created and is overseeing a four-step process for the transition, starting with “I do, you watch,” with Claassen doing and French watching, followed by “I do, you help.” The third step is “I help, you do,” with Claassen helping and French doing, and ending up with, “You do, I watch,” with French doing and Claassen observing tasks. Claassen plans to spend more time in retirement with his grandchildren and pursuing his hobbies of writing, photography and raising chickens. He said he could not be more pleased with the way things are going and with the quality of people involved in the process. He pointed out that French is an ordained minister who has served as a chaplain in a war zone, and also as the interim pastor of a troubled church that was going through its own kind of “war zone.” “And Joe is six years older than I was when I became senior pastor,” Claassen added. Church studies show a low success rate for ministers following long-term pastors. They serve on average just one month for every year of their predecessor’s tenure. But the average church doesn’t plan and prepare like Claassen and Mayfair-Plymouth. “God’s anointing is going into Joe and I felt incredible relief — so much that it surprised me — when the congregation approved him,” Claassen said. “I feel that the church’s future has clarity, and that God has given me the grace to let go.” O David Yonke is the editor and community manager of Toledo Faith & Values (ToledoFAVS.com), a website that provides in-depth, nonsectarian news coverage of religion, faith and spirituality in the Toledo area.

RESTAURANTS

By Arlene Bachanov

(Adrian) Daily Telegram Special Writer

Just more than a quarter-century after Hervey Bliss founded the village that bears his name, a merchant in town built a house that eventually made Blissfield a fine-dining destination point for the entire region. And this year, the restaurant that the house eventually became — the Hathaway House — marks its 50th anniversary. The Hathaway House was built in 1851 by David Carpenter, a New York state native who, seeking his fortune, came first to Toledo and then to Blissfield, where he opened a dry-goods store. Carpenter wanted “the finest home between Toledo and Buffalo,” and the Greek Revival house he had built had 18 rooms, including two parlors, three kitchens and five bedrooms. After Carpenter’s death in 1891, the house first became the home and medical practice of Dr. George Lamley. When Lamley died, his wife, Bertine, traded homes with George and Prudence Hathaway. Prudence died in 1959, leaving the building vacant for two years until it was converted into a restaurant.

Enter the Weeber family

Arthur Sr., known as Buck, and Allison Weeber bought the Hathaway House in 1963 and, with their children, operated it until sons Art — the oldest son — and Mike assumed ownership in the 1970s. Mike handled the food side of the business while Art, with his accounting degree from Michigan State University, was the business manager. The family’s love for history was

what drew them to the building, which has been designated both a Michigan and a national historic site, in the first place. “We probably wouldn’t be here if we didn’t have a passion for history, and the entrepreneurial spirit to take a place and make it work,” Art said. The Hathaway House developed a regional reputation and “became a destination restaurant,” Art said. And with the exception of a 2-and-a-half year period in the 2000s when it was under different ownership, the establishment has been owned and operated by the Weeber family. As the years passed, a new generation got into the business, with Art and his wife, Mary, running the place along with their children. The home’s former carriage house, which the family first turned into a gift shop that Mary managed before taking on the operation of the Hathaway House, became a restaurant too — the Main Street Stable and Tavern — that is now 30 years old. While Art and Mary are still very much a part of the operation, the restaurant and the Stable are managed by Aimee Weeber and Mary’s brother Ron Sulier, and several other members of the family are involved in one way or another as well. “There’s nothing crazier than the restaurant world,” said Aimee, who worked at the business when she was younger before going away to school in Chicago and France. She was living in Chicago when, in 1997, she decided to come home and began managing the Stable. “It’s everything in one business. … Nothing else (is) so dynamic. There’s nothing like working in restaurants.” n HATHAWAY CONTINUES ON 13

n HATHAWAY CONTINUED FROM 12 “Every day is a new experience,” added Sulier, who worked at the restaurant through high school, left and returned in 1994. “You never know what you’re walking into.” The staff at the Hathaway House and the Stable is well accustomed to dealing with what Aimee called

“the intense and the unpredictable.” This could be anything from the challenges of operating two historic buildings in which things often break, to the occasional surprise like the time a bus full of diners showed up unexpectedly. But in the latter case, “they never even knew we didn’t have a reservation for them,” Weeber said. “There’s an art to it.”

And many people in the area have learned the art of good service from the Weeber family. One of them is Lindsey Taylor, who started working as a server at the Stable 13 years ago, right out of high school, and has seen her role expand. “I love being here,” she said. “I love the staff and the customers. I feel honestly, like part of the family. [The

Weebers] watched me grow up, and I saw them grow up. You learn a lot of life lessons here.” It used to be that the staffs of the Hathaway House and the Stable were completely separate, but today there is a great amount of cross-training, and employees often start out at the Stable and work their way up to the Hathaway House if they are interested in learning the fine-dining business. But that brings up another of the Hathaway House’s challenges. “Fine dining is not as popular as it once was,” Aimee said. “That way of life has really died out.” In response, “we just keep trying to get creative, and we keep reinventing ourselves.” Among other things, that has meant meeting a growing demand for Michigan-made products including the Michigan craft beers available at the Stable, developing an eclectic

wine list for the Hathaway House, doing a vast amount of catering for everything from weddings and special events to the Old Road Dinner train that runs out of Blissfield and creating new events for patrons. One of these newer offerings is a casual dining night, every Thursday. The staff wears casual attire, and a limited menu featuring local fare — with nothing costing more than $15 — is served. “It’s just a rowdier kind of atmosphere,” Aimee said. “It’s laid-back and fun. And it makes the Hathaway House more approachable.” Above all, she said, the family wants people to know that if they choose the Hathaway House, they will find it a welcoming place. “People who have never dined here may find the place intimidating, but it’s not,” she said. “We are the furthest thing from exclusive.” O

SHAG ON SPORTS

Beating (while respecting) ‘Michigan’

here are times where rivalries mean something. The times where you put the logo flag on the car. Refuse to wear orange and brown. Take the long way just to avoid driving in a city. Then there are times where rivalries don’t mean anything at all. The story that melted everyone’s hearts came last weekend when a 12-year-old kid from Columbus beat “Michigan,” the name he had given the tumor he was diagnosed with two years ago. Clever kid. Quite frankly, I don’t know that I’d be man enough to name a sebaceous cyst “Bowling Green.” Grant Reed is currently fighting off a bacterial infection, but all signs point to that he’s beaten Big Blue. The name brought Reed more than a bit of attention. The Buckeyes’ head football coach Urban Meyer paid him a visit in the hospital. Well wishes have poured in from across the country. Even the University of Michigan tweeted support for Grant, saying “We’ll always be rivals with @OhioState, but just this once, we’re happy to

What makes sports rivalries worth it is that it gives us an easy villain to root against. In real life, things are shades of gray. People do good things for bad reasons, or they do bad things because the ends justify the means.”

not a whole lot of venom you’re going to work up over a guy. Hate on LeBron all you want for leaving Cleveland (and I do), but it’s hard to hate on him with all those trophies in his hand. When ESPN made the promo of the couple in the throes of a tender kiss, one wearing a Michigan shirt, the other wearing scarlet and gray, it captioned it with “Without sports, this wouldn’t be disgusting.” They knew disgusting was a relative term. It’s that little tweak to fans of both teams (particularly those living in this area, who are married to fans of the other side). It feels wrong, but only in a comedic sense. Cats and dogs; Buckeyes and Wolverines! It’s easy to get wrapped up in a rivalry, but we always know that a rivalry only stays in place because of respect for its opponent. Reed didn’t like his tumor, but he sure as hell respected it, and that’s why he beat Michigan. O Matt “Shaggy” Culbreath is sports director at 1370 WSPD. Email him at shaggy@wspd.com.

A Toledo tradition since 2005

Thomas and Jacqueline Siefke will celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary July 16. Tom is a decorated veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps where he served during World War II. He went on to work with Ohio Bell retiring in 1979. Jackie worked at the Lion Store for a number of years. The couple had two children, Charles Thomas (deceased) and Sharon Prince along with one grandson and one great-grandson. “We still think it is unbelievable,” Jackie said. “Well, we always liked to do the same things and did them together,” Jackie said. “We bowled, played golf, went bike riding into our 70s, watched movies and all kinds of sporting events and always participated in family get-togethers and celebrations from adults down to the newborns — which we are still celebrating in our family and always

respected each other.” This couple doesn’t plan to stop having fun. “Plans for the future? Making our annual winter trip to Royal Palm Beach, Fla., where we have been going since the ’70s.” The two say their marriage is “all about love.” “She is kind, caring and giving — always making sure everyone is happy no matter what,” Tom said. “He is easygoing, happy and does not let things bother him,” Jackie said. “Tom also has a good sense of humor and enjoys being with people.” Their nicknames, AJ and UT (for Aunt Jackie and Uncle Tom), were created years ago by family and friends. Tom and Jackie will celebrate at a small dinner party with immediate family and a few friends. O — Casey Harper

Why interest rates matter

t first glance, the title of this piece seems rather silly; of course interest rates matter. They affect the availability and cost of borrowing money, mortgage rates and more. Unbeknownst to many investors, interest rates can have implications on several sectors, and even a direct impact on your retirement holdings. The past few months, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has hinted that interest rates may rise soon. The term “interest rates” is very broad, but I am referring specifically to 30-year Treasury rates, mortgage rates, prime rate, etc. When I’m referring to one specific rate, I will make note of which one, but on the whole all interest rates tend to be correlated. When interest rates begin to rise, investors and consumers who track those numbers will notice a bottom has been reached. Once a bottom has been spotted and a new trend identified,

When companies begin investors and consumers to borrow money, even at begin to adjust their acrates as low as 4 or 5 pertions accordingly. For cent, they will invest those example, if an individual funds in projects that will is looking to purchase a earn them more than new home and is quoted 4 percent or 5 percent. a 4 percent mortgage, These capital intensive but the following month projects typically involve mortgage rates drop to hiring of new employees, 3.75 percent, they have Ben TREECE be they full- or part-time. no incentive to purchase. The resulting cycle operates Contrarily, if rates go from 3.75 percent to 4 percent, buyers will as follows: Banks lend money, adding have an incentive to purchase in order to their earnings, while businesses use to lock in lower rates. These savings borrowed funds to earn more than the can sometimes be in the hundreds or cost of borrowing, depositing gains at the bank, which can then take those thousands of dollars.

Rising interest rates can drastically gage rates, businesses will hold out for a bottom in lending rates in order to impact investors’ retirement as well. obtain the cheapest money possible. My opinion on bonds is no secret by

this point, as I have written time and again about the dangers that a rising interest rate environment can have on the bond market. Rising yields mean falling bond prices, and bonds are traded intraday just as stocks are. Unfortunately, many investors may not realize that they are exposed to the bond market through their pension or various mutual funds that they own until it is far too late. Recently we learned that investment firm PIMCO was experiencing record outflows from their flagship bond fund. While this is not great news for those invested in PIMCO, it can be good for the economy. Since rates were at historic lows for such a prolonged period of time, investors were able to exit at the peak and take their gains elsewhere. Most investors who were able to see gains from PIMCO will not let their money sit in cash for too long; they will look for the

next value buy and put their money back to work. Rising interest rates can be good or bad for you as an investor, depending on your holdings. Without proper knowledge, it is impossible to make the right decision for your investments and your future, and we encourage all readers to keep an eye on the bond market and what it means for their personal holdings.

THE RETIREMENT GUYS

The retirement ‘honey do’ list

his time of year often allows us to work on our “honey do” list. It’s a great feeling to get one or two of those tasks done. Often, our retirement “to do” list is the one list that is put on the back burner in order to handle more time sensitive issues. We recommend taking this time to Mark review your retirement “honey do” list now before it’s too late. Nolan Today, we would like to answer the questions you might have about the recent market uncertainty and give you additional advice on what you as an investor should be doing. Is the recent volatility in the stock and bond market normal? The simple answer is yes. For a long time, we have been recovering from the 2008 crash. Although recently, the market continued to rally, at some point the markets will go down. That decline could be short-term, go all summer or it could get worse if economic conditions change. How the average investor reacts to those changes can have a dramatic impact on their in-

dividual results. Remember to buy low and sell high. Don’t let short-term results impact your long-term decisions. Is your current portfolio on track? All investors want their accounts to go up in value every day. And yes, we would agree performance is an important part of a successful CLAIR long-term portfolio, yet we feel this should not be the BAKER first or only factor an investor looks at. Comparing individual performance to others can encourage an investor to chase results which can be a costly mistake. Forget everyone else and focus on your individual goals and objectives. If the objective is to produce a certain amount of income a year and that goal is being met, don’t worry too much about the day-to-day noise of the stock market. Make sure there is a very specific goal and objective for each investment account. Are you taking too much risk? Often times we hear investors say things like, “I lost 5 percent; if I keep losing that same amount before long I’ll

be out of money!” Instead of trying to figure out this math on how long the money will last, focus on what risk level you are comfortable with when you look at the total plan. We call it a stress test. Review the risk by looking at the total plan, not just individual holdings. At any given point it is not uncommon for one part of the portfolio to be doing well while the other part is doing poorly. Emotions could lead you to sell the “losers” and buy the “winners.” Remember, this can lead to chasing results and possibly increase risk. Although it does not guarantee against loss, diversification is a strategy that can help reduce risk. Why has the stock and bond market been so volatile lately? In our opinion, several factors are making the market unstable. Interest rates have dramatically increased in a very short period of time. A few weeks ago 30 year mortgage rates were close to 3.25 percent. Now according to www.bankrate.com they have skyrocketed to 4.53 percent. This shock to the system has had an impact on most investments that were sensitive to interest rates. The stock market needed to take a breather as well. We had gone almost a year and a half since that last single-day decline in the stock market like what occurred June 20.

Risk of default is another concern among investors. Right here in our backyard, the City of Detroit is on the verge of bankruptcy. That would make it the largest U.S. city in history to file bankruptcy. Take all of these factors and combine them together and it makes for a bumpy ride in the economy. If you haven’t reviewed your investment plan in a while, aren’t sure if the objectives are still on track or don’t know how much risk is in your plan, then schedule a review with a licensed investment professional right away and go through your “honey do” list. This could be the most important decision you make this week. O For more information about The Retirement Guys, tune in every Saturday at 1 p.m. on 1370 WSPD or visit www.retirementguyradio.com.

20 Marathon Classic

July 14, 2013

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com

By Evan Brune

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer ebrune@toledofreepress.com

One year ago, the 14th hole at the LPGA’s Jamie Farr Toledo Classic erupted in cheers and chants as hundreds of party-loving golf spectators broke all audience rules. Now, they’re doing it again. Club 14, formerly known as Klinger’s Club, is set to open their rule-free 14th hole at this year’s Marathon Classic presented by Owens Corning and Owens-Illinois on July 19, where audience members can join in on singing, screaming and beerdrinking. The tournament, now the Marathon Classic, is now in its 28th year. Each year, the event proceeds go to various children’s charities in Northwest Ohio. “It’s just been a great community event,” said Tournament Director Judd Silverman. “We’ve raised almost $8 million for over 100 Northwest Ohio children’s charities over the years.” This year, the tournament will benefit 11 different charities, including Toledo Hearing & Speech Center, Special Olympics Ohio and the Jamie Farr Scholarship Fund of the Toledo Community Foundation. The tournament field this year will consist of 156 of the top women golfers in the world. “It’ll be great to bring the greatest women golfers in the world to Northwest Ohio. We’ve got 10 of the top 10 and 15 of the top 20, so that’s pretty good,” Silverman said. “Inbee Park is the real story this year. She just won the U.S. Women’s Open. She’s made $2.1 million [this year]. The next player has earned $881,000, so there’s quite a considerable gap there.”

Moving to Cincy?

Officials are quick to debunk a rumor that the Marathon Classic will move to Cincinnati in 2015. “Most ridiculous statement I’ve ever heard. We (Toledo Classic Inc.) have a multiyear contract with Marathon,” Silverman said. Kraig Kann, chief communications officer for the LPGA, said, “Mar-

athon Petroleum is committed to the event in Toledo and is very excited about the new partnership and the upcoming event in two weeks. As for Cincinnati, we would love to find our way into that market as it is a fantastic sports community with great golf fans, but nothing is imminent at this time.”

Club 14

Friday’s Club 14 comes with a few changes, learned through trial and error after its first year, most notably, the name change from Klinger’s Club to Club 14. “We had to change the name because Jamie Farr got out of the game. We wanted a name that was not specific to a sponsor, so we don’t have to change it every year,” said Stephen Vasquez, membership development coordinator at the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce and one of the event’s organizers. The amount of seating will also increase, going from 300-person capacity bleachers to 500-person capacity bleachers. Silverman said he hopes to see Club 14 grow from last year’s attendance. “We’re very excited to build on that,” he said. “We hope to double or triple the crowd out there on Friday afternoon this year.” Instead of last year’s T-shirts, the first 300 people will receive golf towels. “We tried to do a whiteout last year, but it didn’t work, because not enough people wore the T-shirts,” Vasquez said. Vasquez said the organizers are doing research into the backgrounds of the golfers, looking up their hometowns and school chants. “There was one girl who went to [University of] Alabama, so when she hit her tee shot, the whole crowd yelled, ‘Roll Tide!’” Vasquez said. Another component of the 14th hole is caddy racing. “Right after the golfers take their tee shots, everyone shouts for a caddy race, and they get really into it. Some of them drop their bags and just start running,” Vasquez said. Vasquez said this year will have fun with the caddies as well as the golfers. “We found out some things about

the caddies, so we’ll have some joking fun with them,” he said. Franz Gilis, one of the event organizers, said his favorite part is the banter back and forth between the crowd and the players. “You’re sitting in the bleachers and talking to golfers who are making their salary at this,” he said. Vasquez said another great aspect of last year were the outfits. “We had some pretty crazy outfits last year, so that’s something we’re encouraging this year,” he said. Vasquez said Shawn’s Irish Tavern, with locations in Toledo, Waterville and Sylvania, will present gift cards as prizes for competitions such as best dressed, craziest outfit and loudest group. Customers can also bring in their Marathon Classic ticket to any Shawn’s location on July 19 for 10 percent off their bill. The event organizers are also reaching out to the golfers themselves,

asking them to bring items to give to the crowd. The effort was a great success last year, according to Vasquez. “[The golfers] interacted with the crowd really well. Last year, we were able to reach out to all the golfers,” he said. “Almost every girl brought something. If it’s in a golf bag, they brought it, and they just tossed it up.” Silverman said the event was a big hit with the golfers last year. “It was great. The players really embraced it, which was really fun to see,” he said. “They came prepared. They were throwing all sorts of stuff up into the crowd — golf balls and hats and beads and all sorts of things — so that made it a lot of fun that the players were having fun with it.” Other changes to the event include the addition of four skyboxes. “I don’t think they’ve ever done skyboxes on the 14th hole, so that’s pretty good for the second year,”

Vasquez said. Another change remedies a problem from last year. “There will be more beer this year. Colder beer,” Vasquez said, laughing. Last year’s event reached crisis level when the beer ran out for Klinger’s Club, leaving personnel scrambling for more. “They were making emergency runs, and it was all warm beer,” Vasquez said. Club 14 started last year as part of an effort to bolster the number of tournament attendees. “It was really a collaboration between myself, Franz, Judd and a few other people. We wanted to figure out some way of getting more people out there,” Vasquez said. “We asked the question, ‘Well, what could we do that was different?’” Vasquez and Gilis modeled their event after the PGA Phoenix Open’s 16th hole. n CLUB 14 CONTINUES ON 21

n CLUB 14 CONTINUED FROM 20 “At their 16th hole, there’s not much they don’t do. It’s very popular with people,” Vasquez said. “We wanted to try to bring an event similar to the Mud Hens’ Opening Day,” Gilis said. Vasquez said their hope was to get Toledo back on the map. “Toledo has a golf history. We used to host the U.S. Open here,” Vasquez said. “If we could drive more people to like golf, maybe we could make Toledo more of a golf destination. It’d be really cool to have Toledo on the map as the loudest, craziest tournament.” This year, Club 14 will also host the Huntington After Play Par-Tee next to the champion’s tent. Entertainment will be provided by the Aaron Stark Band. Club 14 sponsors are Nemsys, Cooperative Business Services, The Image Group, Toledo Free Press and WNWO. Vasquez and Gilis urge everyone to come to the 14th hole. “Take the day off of work, do whatever you have to do,” Gilis said. “Come out, meet your peers.” “Buy a grounds pass. Party starts at noon. Show up, make your way back to the 14th hole,” Vasquez said. “Get a towel, and be loud.” For more information on Club 14, visit www.facebook.com/ Club14Toledo. O

22 Marathon Classic n ALTVATER CONTINUED FROM 21 Marathon is a household name in Ohio and southern Michigan. It was originally formed in 1887 in Findlay and has gone through many corporate changes over the years. Today it has more than 5,100 independently owned and operated franchise gas stations throughout the United States and is one of the nation’s largest oil refiners and pipeline transport companies. Lewis has played in the Jamie Farr on several occasions and was given sponsor’s exemptions while still an amateur. She has been one of the most consistent players on the LPGA Tour over the past few years. She won six tournaments in 2012 and was named the LPGA Tour Player of the Year. She ascended to the No. 1 spot on the Rolex rankings early in 2013, but was overtaken by Inbee Park of South Korea, who has won the first three major championships of the year and three other LPGA tournaments as well. Toledo native Farr, who portrayed Cpl. Max Klinger on the hit TV show

“M*A*S*H,” lent his name to the tournament for 27 years. Farr was introduced to golf when Dinah Shore dragged him to a golf course in the early 1980s. He immediately became a fan. When Judd Silverman decided to bring an LPGA tournament to Toledo in 1983, he asked Farr to lend his time and celebrity to the event. Silverman needed a big name to draw fans and gain credibility with the LPGA brass to convince them to grant a tournament to mid-market Toledo. When Silverman approached Farr through a childhood friend, he readily accepted. With Farr’s help, the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic has generated more than $7.7 million for 110 local charities. Whenever the longtime tournament director is asked about the Marathon Classic, Silverman is proud to elaborate on the millions of dollars the local tournament has been able to generate for local children’s charities over the years. With the addition of new title sponsor Marathon, Silverman believes charitable funds available for distribu-

Former winners include Laura Davies, Patty Sheehan, Meg Mallon, Annika Sörenstam and Paula Creamer. Highland Meadows Golf Club seems to be a predictor of which LPGA player may do well at a U.S. Women’s Open. Many winners have been former tournament winners or go on to win the U.S. Women’s Open. Solheim Cup captain Mallon won two U.S. Women’s Opens in her career. Her first came in 1991 and her second came in July 2004, just one month prior to winning the last LPGA title of her career at the Jamie Farr Classic in August 2004. She defeated another player that knew something about winning major championships, Se Ri Pak of South Korea. Pak was especially fond of Highland Meadows, winning the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic on five different occasions from 1998-2007. She also won the 1998 U.S. Women’s Open. Na Yeon Choi of South Korea won

the 2012 U.S. Women’s Open after winning the 2010 Jamie Farr. So Yeon Ryu of South Korea won the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open and blew away the field at last year’s Jamie Farr Toledo Classic, firing a final round of 62 to win by seven strokes. In addition to her win in Toledo last year she had 16 top-10 finishes and won more than $1.2 million. She has not won yet this year, but recently finished runner-up to Park at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship and was third at the 2013 U.S. Women’s Open. During a visit to Toledo in June, Ryu said she has fond memories of Highland Meadows. Park has won six events on the 2013 LPGA Tour including the U.S. Women’s Open. She is the No. 1 ranked woman in the world and has a chance to win her fourth women’s major title of the year when the ladies travel to St Andrews for the Ricoh Women’s British Open. Park would be the only woman ever to win four major championships in one year. Only two other golfers

July 14, 2013 have won four consecutive major championships. Bobby Jones won all four majors in 1930 and Tiger Woods won four consecutive majors over two seasons in 2000-2001. She will try to keep her streak going before making the trip to Scotland to attempt to make history and win the Women’s British Open. Silverman and his staff do an excellent job annually of organizing and bringing such a fine sporting event to the Toledo area. However, the ultimate winners are the Toledo area children’s charities that benefit from the millions of dollars raised by the tournament.

If the stakes are high, Wynonna Judd is in. All in. “I just like to try stuff,” she said. “It’s almost like you just have to jump off or you’ll never know the thrill. Maybe I’m a thrill seeker. It’s either the dumbest move I’ve ever made, or exhilarating and people think I’m a badass, or they just go, ‘Wow, she’s insane.’” The superstar has never been afraid to put herself out there. Like hitting the floor with Tony Dovolani for the recent season of “Dancing With the Stars.” “This incredible two-time world champion came to my home. I turned my gym into a dance studio, and the next thing I know I’m doing the cha-cha? Oh yeah, that’s for me,” Wynonna said and laughed. While she was the first to be eliminated from the show that season, she’s up for anything. “If I get a call to go sing with Willie Nelson, I say yes because I’m both terrified and just exhilarated by the opportunity, and I just keep showing up to these things,” the singer-guitarist said. “I think I’m curious to see if I can pull it off, and when I do, the victory ride home is just massive, an epic day for me.” There have been lots of big wins since Wynonna took the stage with her mother, Naomi. From 198391, The Judds, with their sweet harmonies, had 14 No. 1 country songs, including “Why Not Me,” “Girls’ Night Out,” “Love Is Alive” and “Have Mercy.” The GrammyAward winners were riding high when a chronic case of Hepatitis C forced Naomi to retire. Wynonna went solo in 1992. “I was willing to go out on stage at the [American Music Awards] in front of all my peers in every genre of music and sing for the first time by myself, terrified,” she recalled. “My mother taught me to fail brilliantly; it was her motto. And what happened was that Ashley [Judd, sister and actress] and I both turned it around and made it, I think, the ability to just be at times fearless.” Success kept coming. Her first three singles — “She Is His Only Need,” “I Saw the Light” and “No One Else on Earth” — topped the country charts. “Something You Can’t Live

Without” is Wynonna’s latest single. She helped her husband, drummer Cactus Moser, write the rocking track with David Lee Murphy. Asked when a new disc would be out, she said, “You know the old saying, ‘There will be no wine before its time?’ There will be no Wy before,” she stopped in midsentence to laugh. “Nowadays it’s harder to find certain songs that I want to sing because all of the songs being written are for 20- and 30-year-olds. It’s a little bit tougher to find a song that I can relate to; it’s taking a little extra time.” She’s being patient. “I’m looking for fun, that’s another thing a song is going to have to have, that sassy fun to it, because I’m pretty grateful as well as just so full of myself because I have put up with and dealt with so much in 30 years.” One of the biggest challenges: her husband’s devastating motorcycle accident that took his leg and nearly his life last year. The couple decided to share their story; “Wynonna & Cactus: The Road Back” airs on Great American Country. “You go from newlywed to nurse in a matter of seconds. It was only two months into our marriage, and I was still in that glow of saying ‘I do.’ And all of the sudden I’m watching him be life-flighted and, oh, by the way, I don’t know if he’s going to live in the next 10 minutes, and I’ve got a 45-minute ride in a car. “I think this stuff, it not only makes you stronger, we’re bonded for life. And I think we wanted to tell our story not because we’re famous but because of the inspiration it’s given to so many,” Wynonna said. “We all need to see modernday miracles and have hope.” Wynonna and The Big Noise, including Moser, will play an 8 p.m. show July 20 at Hollywood Casino Toledo. Tickets are $45. “I’ve been doing chores,” Wynonna said during a call from her farm near Nashville, Tenn. “That’s why I go on the road so I can be a diva. What I mean by ‘diva’ is I can luxuriate and bask in the glory of 12 hours of sleep and hmmm, I think I’ll go take a walk or I’ll take a nap or put more sparkle on my hair and then I can go out and get all that love and attention from the fans. “I, of course, relish it; after 30 years you realize, oh my gosh, this is such a privilege.” O

Florida Georgia Line is riding up the charts again with “Cruise” thanks to a remix featuring Nelly. The new version accelerated to No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100. “We had some pop radio stations approaching us to come up with a different version of ‘Cruise’ that they could play, and [Nelly’s] name got thrown out there,” said Brian Kelley. “We’re obviously huge fans of Nelly and have been for years. It’s an honor to have him on the track. He killed it and brought it to another level and gave it another life. It’s been unreal to be able to work with him, just incredible.” Kelley and Tyler Hubbard are fans of many genres. “We grew up listening to everything — obviously country is our roots, but R&B, hip-hop, rap, rock, Christian music,” Kelley said. “Everything we’ve always listened to is an influence of ours, so when we’re writing and listening for songs, we’re drawing from a lot of different places.” And fans are digging it. Last year

was a breakout year for the duo, which scored a No. 1 country song with “Cruise” from its debut, “Here’s to the Good Times.” This year, Florida Georgia Line topped the Billboard Country Airplay chart again with “Get Your Shine On” and won two Academy of Country Music Awards for new vocal duo or group of the year and new artist of the year, and two CMT Music Awards for duo video of the year and breakthrough video of the year for “Cruise.” “It’s been a crazy ride. It’s been a blast; we’re having the time of our lives out here on the road,” Kelley said during a call from a tour stop in Clarksburg, W.Va. “It shows a testament to our amazing fans and how loyal they are and how much they believe in our music and us as individuals. It’s just a special time. “We’re selling out shows left and right. It’s something that we’ve dreamed of for a long time, and for it to happen this fast makes you realize we can’t take anything for granted.” The two singer-songwriter-guitarists met at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn. n LINE CONTINUES ON 26

We liked hanging out, we liked writing songs, we wrote cool songs together and we sounded pretty good together. “So to us, it was kind of one of those things where we’re better to-

We did anything from remodeling golf carts to putting up bathroom stalls, cutting

grass, washing cars,” Kelley said. It’s no wonder the guys crank up the fun and country boy charm in their music with songs that include “Tip It Back,” “Hell Raisin’ Heat of the Summer” and “Party People.” “If you listen to our album, songs one through 11, you’re going to get to know Tyler and I really, really well,” Kelley said.

Also slated to play are Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley. See the lineup at fasterhorsesfestival.com. When he gets a day off, Kelley slides behind the wheel of his blue and

silver SUV. “I do as little as possible and probably turn my phone off and drive around town in my Blazer with the top off and listening to music and just chilling out,” he said. “That’s my favorite thing to do, just drive around Nashville in the country on some back roads and just hang out and listen to music.” O

Your Tarotgram and Horoscope

July 14 – 20, 2013

Events: Uranus retrograde in Aries (17th); Mercury direct in Cancer (20th). Aries (March 21-April 19)

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Be prepared for sudden awakenings! Things happen fast and the tide of events can sweep you away. You can go with the flow and take opportunities that come your way — or not. Nothing is as simple as it seems. A change of location is possible.

A significant person on the verge of lifestyle changes is making big promises. You’re torn between hope and skepticism. After Wednesday, work to identify specifics instead of generalities. Build a list of well-defined steps and actions to reach a desired goal.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

If you waffle on choices, others could make decisions that impact your affairs. It may seem like you have to yield to the inevitable, but there’s always free will. Delay irrevocable decisions. A better, more perfect option arrives over the weekend.

You’re capable of working nonstop to attain a cherished goal. Problems arise if you set the mode of accomplishment in stone. Current terms are unstable and are subject to change. Remain flexible and don’t get too far ahead of things. Pace yourself, conserve your energy.

“Favorite Son”

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Fast-changing situations place an array of responsibilities in your hands. Don’t sign up for a pig in a poke! Responsibility without power is awful, and may cast you as a hatchet man for the boss. Current choices may affect your long-term reputation.

Significant situations are unfolding and hint at future potentials. Don’t ignore boring but necessary tasks and procedures that protect your best interests. A singular opportunity arises midweek, and you could miss it if you’re too focused on glory.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Your drive to initiate changes is at a peak. The world is full of opportunities. In your enthusiasm, you may feel that certain options are perfect for others. Ask rather than command. A situation that fits your tastes may not be acceptable to another.

Intimate relationships bring an influx of opportunity and challenge. Develop new relationships with caution. An important person discusses evolving shared interests on Tuesday. Trust and loyalty must be earned, not given. On Saturday, conversations can build or destroy.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Family and property matters are subject to big changes this week. Everyone is paddling as hard as they can to get where they need to go. Tempting shortcuts ignore certain necessary procedures. Taking the easy way now could lead to subsequent difficulties.

Events in your environment race forward at high speed. Critical details come to your attention on Tuesday or Wednesday, possibly offering once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Act quickly and get the rewards. Gossip that’s flying around may not be remotely connected to the facts.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

A spouse or significant person is ready to jump on a bandwagon. You may have mixed feelings about this; all that glitters isn’t gold. The person may assume you’re skeptical because of doubts about his/her abilities. Choose your words with great caution.

There are ongoing situations that give cause for cautious optimism. Midweek events can bring dramatic changes and upheavals for better or worse. After Thursday, it’s time to focus on personal priorities. Saturday offers opportunities to eliminate major obstacles.
