LIGHTING THE FUSE

PUBLISHER’S STATEMENT

Welcome, Harper M I

mentioned last week that my family has welcomed a new baby girl named Harper June Therese Pounds. She came into this world at 2:18 a.m. Jan. 12. I rarely use this space to talk about my personal life but this is truly a special occasion.

I am 52 years old and thought my child-raising days were done. I have a 22-year-old named Katy and a 21-year-old, Austin. They are great young adults, although they will also always be my kids. We are blessed; Katy and Austin are both are in college and doing well. They are thrilled with the new addition. Katy even told Austin when they heard the news that “Now you are the dreaded middle child!”

Harper’s mother, Liljana May Brescol, is a wonderful person who has a very positive attitude toward life. She has a young boy named Nolan who has been part of my life for some time now. I love him as if he is my own. When we learned of the pregnancy, Nolan was very happy to know he was going to have a baby sister. It was quite the learning Thomas F. POUNDS experience for all of us as we tried to explain to Nolan how Harper was growing in mommy’s belly.

The entire nine months went by in a blink (for me that is — Liljana would beg to differ!) but as the day came closer I started reflecting on the experience. I asked myself, “Is this the right time in my life to do this? What kind of world am I bringing her into?”

But I knew, yes, this is the right time; the world has always had issues that make parents wonder. The key will be the love and support we give our children; that is what will count.

Harper arrived at St. Luke’s in the Family Birthing Center. The people there were just terrific. Two nurses, Kris and Mary, genuinely love their HARPER POUNDS jobs. The experience we had was wonderful and smooth as we were in one room for the entire stay. My daughter and Liljana’s sister, mother and aunt all were there. The experience was one that we will remember always and we can’t thank the folks at St. Luke’s enough.

I first became a father more than two decades ago. With my first two kids, I was traveling all over the country with new jobs in new cities. The big difference now is that I am rooted here in Toledo. My hope is that as we join to raise Harper, I will be more focused on the important things — the things here at home. ✯ Thomas F.

TO THE EDITOR, Never, to my knowledge, has my reporting been analyzed at such length (“Monkey Business,” by Michael S. Miller, Jan. 16). Thanks for the attention. However, I think a lot of your conclusions and characterizations are wrong.

First, in regard to identifying Larry Sykes as an AfricanAmerican, he states in the story that he feels personally insulted. Identifying his race helps explain why he feels personally insulted. It also shows the reader that he knows whereof he speaks.

Secondly, I don’t take personally that I am the object of Wilson’s “derision.” It’s part of the business we’re in. We at times disagree.

Thirdly, in response to how I “most likely” told my sources that the quote was directly referring to TPS students. Why would you assume that? In fact, I did not tell anyone that the quote made a direct characterization of TPS students as monkeys. To each person I called I explained Wilson’s set-up and read the exact quote. They didn’t need to be prompted. I checked back with Vasquez and he told me that nothing he learned subsequently made him think that Wilson’s comments had been misrepresented by The Blade.

Fourthly, How is this a crack in the story: “The first crack in The Blade’s mission to sink Wilson came from Bell, when Jennifer Sorgenfrei, public information officer for the City of Toledo, said, “[The mayor’s] statement was in direct response to the portion of audio he was provided by The Blade,” the first public indicator that this mess originated with the daily paper of record.” Did the mayor retract his remark? If so, I’m not aware of it.

Fifth, Brian Wilson is the one that threw out the monkey reference. He’s a professional. He knows what the word connotes when he’s talking about how to teach students in Toledo Public Schools. Anyway, it was a bad analogy. Monkeys don’t need to be taught to peel bananas. They do it instinctively, like swinging on vines. It’s not a parlor trick.

Teaching dogs to walk on their hind legs or dolphins to balance a beach ball on their noses would be parlor tricks, and would have made Wilson’s point without the egregious offensiveness — or at least less offensively. But no, we have to go with monkeys.

Sixth, contrary to your column, the very first story that appeared in The Blade fully explained the context of

Wilson’s remarks, including this paragraph: Following the “monkey” reference, Mr. Wilson explained that, “similarly, the children, just because you can teach them the answers to what are the capitals of the 50 states of America — that’s a fun exercise, but it does not teach them how to think, it doesn’t teach them how to be objective, it doesn’t teach them how to be entrepreneurs and individuals, and things of that order.”

Seventh, why does not putting quotes around “little monkeys” qualify as “more fact-based reporting”?

Eighth, regarding these two paragraphs: The unsigned editorial also includes this puzzler: “Comparing humans with lesser primates is, of course, a standard racial insult.” Really? Think about the stunning implications of that statement. There’s no outrage in it, just a ho-hum admission that “That’s just the way it is.”

First, you know as a journalist that editorials are always unsigned. Second, we quoted respected AfricanAmericans making this point. I refer you back to the story. Third, we gave examples from history of where mentioning primates in connection with AfricanAmericans was offensive.

Finally, I am very proud of The Blade’s handling of this story and of my own part in it. We did not misquote Brian Wilson. We did not take his remarks out of context. We supplied readers with the exact context and we gave Mr. Wilson the opportunity to explain more fully his reference. We also gave station general manager and vice president Andy Stuart the opportunity to respond and he chose not to, and throughout the weekend we left him messages offering to report his reaction. I think it’s telling that when Andy Stuart finally commented he characterized Brian Wilson’s apology as more of an apology than it actually was. Here’’s what Andy said: “He told his listeners that while he did not mean to offend anyone, and was not making a comparison to Toledo’s students, he recognizes that his use of this word was inappropriate and he apologized for that.” As you said in your column, Wilson said he was sorry if anyone was offended by his remarks — which isn’t the same thing as being sorry for making the remarks.

EDUCATION CHAMPIONS

Successful approach to learning lacks district-wide implementation in TPS Editor’s Note: Toledo Free Press, United Way of Greater Toledo and 13abc’s “Bridges” with Doni Miller are profiling 12 education initiative programs in Northwest Ohio. This is the second story in the series.

By Michael Stainbrook TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

Five years ago, teachers at East Side Central Elementary School adopted an innovative learning style in an attempt to improve students’ classroom experience. The results were promising, but widespread use of the approach has not yet been achieved in Toledo Public Schools (TPS).

The approach taken at East Side Central employs social and emotional learning (SEL), a process that stresses a multifaceted education of the complete student. Teachers help their pupils develop critical communication skills by facilitating an interactive classroom. Students are instructed how to engage each other positively and are given the opportunity to do so through various interpersonal exercises.

“You can call it a field in education, or you can call it a movement,” said educational consultant Jennifer Miller, who has 15 years of experience promoting SEL in schools.

“There’s been so much focus on

academic press and high stakes tests that the socio-emotional lives of kids has been lost in the stress,” she said.

United Way of Greater Toledo Women’s Initiative first introduced SEL to TPS in spring 2005. The group hoped to reduce teenage pregnancy and boost graduation and attendance rates through more effective teaching techniques at the grade-school level.

“What they found ound more and more is that you have to start early to change either ther of those,” said Greg Braylock, Jr., an education specialist with United Way. After learningg of SEL, United d Way contacted d the Collaborativee for Academic, So-cial and Emotional al Learning (CASEL), EL), which recommended nded Miller get involved. d The district warmly received SEL, as did the faculty at East Side Central. In order to implement the changes, 80 percent of the school’s teachers had to vote in favor of it.

They approved it unanimously and began implementation during the 2006-07 school year. The school uses Responsive Classroom, a SELbased curriculum.

“We wanted to certainly serve a lowincome population, but also a really critical piece was willingness to participate,” Miller said. “They immediately said, ‘This aligns with our philosophy, and we’re willing to take this on.’ ” So far, the results have been positive. School-wide attendance rose from 91 percent to 95 percent in four years, and suspensions dropped by nearly 8 percent in only one year. The school’s Ohio Departscho ment men of Education report por card has improved from “academic watch” to “eff “ ective” since SEL was introduced.

Many schools try various techniques to raise their effectiveness, Miller said, but b SEL was East Side Central’s only S school-wide reform. scho “It’s hard to attri“ bute in schools because they do so many different things, but this one I think we can point to it and say it’s a reason for success,” she said.

Parents have become more involved, too. When SEL was first implemented parents of East Side Central students volunteered 15 hours a year, Braylock said. That figure has since skyrocketed to 1,500 hours annually. East Side Central special

education teacher Sue Rowe said the school has become friendlier, leading parents to become more willing to be involved.

“The whole climate of the building in general, it’s more kind,” Rowe said.

“We’ve seen a significant increase in parent involvement.”

Despite the apparent benefit that SEL brings to classrooms, only one other TPS institution uses the approach school-wide. Sherman Elementary adopted SEL a year after East Side Central. Some other TPS instructors have completed the weeklong summer training session and stress this learning style, but no other schools have made broad changes to their curricula.

Implementing SEL requires the financial backing of the district. United Way and other organizations provide some funding for putting it to practice, but TPS must pick up the tab for some of the training its teachers undergo through the Responsive Classroom curriculum. In addition to the annual summer session, teachers receive a couple hours of supplemental instruction every month.

“The district has been very positive about Responsive Classroom and very interested. They’ve provided funds for the training to occur,” Rowe said.

But widespread implementation of SEL and the related curriculum has not occurred. Miller said the slow progress is a natural part of any change

to academic practices. Rowe agrees.

“Things come and go. As teachers, we get pretty skeptical about [change],” Rowe said, adding that SEL is here to stay.

“The teachers realize that it’s not going away. The district has made an investment here.”

Miller has continued discussing the future of SEL with TPS officials.

Before any other schools can adopt the learning style, another teachers’ vote must take place.

“We’re working with the district to determine what schools are next, what their priorities are,” she said.

“It’s taken time. It’s been five years, but this year definitely we’ve had more conversations with the district at all levels.”

Two other large school districts in the state have taken steps to adopt SEL in their classrooms. Cleveland Public Schools has announced it plans to implement the approach district-wide, and U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan (OH-17) secured a grant to explore SEL possibilities with Youngstown schools.

Braylock hopes similar results will come to Northwest Ohio in the near future.

“Individual teachers are definitely seeing the benefits of participation and are spreading the word,” he said.

“At every level of leadership, we have support. We have partnership and buy-in that will make this type of initiative even stronger.” ✯

COLLEGE SPORTS

BGSU team receives record donation

By Chris Schmidbauer TOLEDO FREE PRESS SPORTS EDITOR cschmidbauer@toledofreepress.com

For more than 60 years William Frack has been devoted to BGSU Falcons men’s basketball, and now the Findlay native is making sure his beloved Falcons will be in good hands financially for a long time.

On Jan. 19, Bowling Green State University Athletics Director Greg Christopher announced that through several irrevocable trusts, Frack will donate $10 million to the men’s basketball program — the largest private gift in BGSU. “This donation changes the trajectory of our program for years to come and sets a new bar for leadership at Bowling Green,” Christopher said.

The endowment fund is the culmination of a six-decade love affair for Frack that began in 1948.

“My father was a school teacher at Findlay High School, and when I was in the eighth grade, he took a job with the state department of education and he was stationed in Bowling Green,” Frack said. “My father started bringing me to basketball games in the old men’s gym, and I have never grown out of it.”

Donning an orange blazer with a brown turtleneck underneath, the 75 year-old talked about his hopes for his sizable donation.

“This is going to help the whole university and athletic department,” Frack said. “It is going to attract major attention to the school.”

Christopher and Frack hope this donation means BGSU basketball will be able to compete on the MAC and national levels.

“Over the last 10 to 15 years, the landscape of college basketball has changed,” Christopher said. “We have seen teams like Gonzaga, Butler and George Mason who have had success at the national level.”

Frack echoed that sentiment.

“Sixty years ago, it didn’t take that much to run a Division I basketball program and be successful,” he said.

“Today that is a very different case. If Butler and Gonzaga can do it, Bowling Green can do it.”

BGSU head coach Louis Orr was moved by the donation as well.

“Bill Frack is a seed sower,” Orr said. “He is so passionate and he shows it with his generosity.”

Orr has been the head coach of

bigger programs in the past, having coached at Seton Hall of the Big East conference. He said this donation allows BGSU to give their student athletes all of the opportunities necessary to be successful in their college careers.

“Resources are always a blessing, and I am a firm believer that we have to give our guys the best education possible. Anytime you can help a student athlete, it is a great thing. This is going to help bless many generations of basketball players for years to come.”

This is not the first donation Frack has made to BGSU. Christopher said he was instrumental in the building of the new basketball arena, the Stroh Center, which is set to open this fall. Christopher said Frack made a $1 million donation to help the project succeed.

Christopher said Frack’s generous spirit comes with no strings attached, which is what makes him a university favorite.

“This is not about him, and he is not doing it for Bill Frack. He is doing it for BGSU men’s basketball,” he said.

“He’s not concerned about where his name is going to be or having any kind of publicity. For Bill, it’s about Bowling Green State University.” ✯

Local jewelers offer support for wounded veterans

By Kristen Criswell TOLEDO FREE PRESS SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR krapin@toledofreepress.com

Some local jewelers are stocking up on a new and unique bracelet in support of wounded veterans.

Licata Tradition and David Fair-

clough Fine Jewelers will now carry From Soldier to Soldier bracelets, sold as part of a national awareness and fundraising campaign benefiting Homes for Our Troops.

The campaign, which just recently launched, raises money for veterans by selling designer versions of survival

and friendship bracelets worn by many soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“It’s just one of those things where we can try and do a little bit for our troops,” said Nick Licata, manager and designer at Licata Tradition. “The bracelets are really neat looking and have an interesting story behind them.”

Licata said his cousin, a member of the Air Force, first told him about the survival bracelets being worn in Afghanistan and about a group in the U.S. selling them to benefit veterans.

For each bracelet sold $25 goes to Homes for Our Troops, a nonprofit organization aimed at building homes for wounded veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan.

“We think it certainly supports a worthy cause. These soldiers have been injured or lost limbs and need special housing,” said David Fairclough, owner of Fairclough Fine Jewelers. “I think it’s a great charitable thing. Any way we can help the troops, we’re happy to.”

From Soldier to Soldier is a campaign started by LovelinksAmerica in Massachusetts. The bracelets are made from parachute cord, like those made

in the field by soldiers, and are 100 percent manufactured in America, said Niels Christiansen, CEO and president of LovelinksAmerica. Eventually, the campaign plans to donate funds to additional programs that help wounded veterans, he said.

Licata Tradition sold out of its first shipment of bracelets, but expects to have more soon. Fairclough just got its first shipment in and is selling the bracelets.

Bracelets come with sterling silver or gold-plated clasps and vary in color.

Prices for the bracelets vary between $95 and $145.

Licata Tradition is located at 2042 S. Byrne Road. David Fairclough is at 7141 W. Central Ave. For more information about From Soldier to Soldier, visit the website www.fromsoldiertosoldier.org. ✯

As Blanks settle into consistent routine, so does family cat Editor’s note: Toledo Free Press will follow the Blank family of Millbury for the next year as they rebuild their lives after a June 5 tornado destroyed their Main Street home.

When the Blanks moved into their rebuilt home last month, everyone was ecstatic, except Rippy, who had a few BLANK choice meows.

“He likes it now, but the night he came, he cried a long time because he didn’t know what was going on,” Julie Blank said.

The 4-year-old cat named after basketball player Rip Hamilton lost his home like the rest of the family when a tornado tore through Millbury. After being lost and found, Rippy moved with the rest of the family to their friends’ house in Perrysburg Township. Six weeks later, he moved

with the family into a condo in Oregon.

When Rippy moved yet again in December, he became frazzled. John Dinon, executive director of the Toledo Area Humane Society (TAHS), said the cat’s reaction was normal.

TAHS is part of the DART team — Disaster Animal Response Team, FAMILY: which went out the day after the tornado to look for missing animals.

Pets are not people, but they have some of the same characteristics as people and they like consistency,” Dinon said.

But just like people, animals vary in how they handle change, he said.

Animal behavior is situation dependent. When people adopt from the shelter, animals are thought to be a certain way, but the assumption is once they get into a house situation,

which is more normal than a shelter, things will get better, Dinon said.

Rippy only spent a little time at the shelter after the post-tornado chaos separated him from his family.

Julie doesn’t exactly know how it happened, but the night of the tornado, Rippy was in the basement with the family. When the water lines broke,

she thinks he jumped into a cubby hole. Julie and the rest of the family lost track of him as they climbed through the rubble that used to be their house. Julie remembers thinking, “I just thought I had to worry about human life.”

But the next day, when a person at the scene said a cat had been found in a basement and taken to the Wood

County Humane Society, Julie said, “Oh my God, it is mine.”

Dinon said the best way to help a pet adjust to a change is to keep some things as consistent as possible. In the Blanks’ case, it was good they kept the cat with them, even though they were moving a lot. Another tip is to set up a spot with a favorite bed and toy. ✯

Ready U

Organizations seek disaster-ready volunteers

By Kristen Criswell

Toledo Free Press Special Sections Editor krapin@toledofreepress.com

When tornadoes hit Millbury in June, hundreds of volunteers came out to lend support to those affected by the disaster. Many of those volunteers were directed through United Way of Greater Toledo’s volunteer reception center.

“After the tornadoes hit we processed a lot of spontaneous volunteers,” said Emily Avery, manager of the volunteer center for United Way. While the Red Cross provided many previously trained volunteers to assist with the disaster, the volunteer reception center processed random volunteers who came out, Avery said.

The center directed individuals to areas they were needed and helped cut down heavy traffic flows, she said.

“It’s important to organize volunteers. Going out without knowing what’s needed, a volunteer’s expertise isn’t getting utilized,” Avery said.

On Jan. 24, Ready U will host its first session of the New Year “Volunteering in a Disaster.”

During the session, a panel of representatives from the Greater Toledo Area Chapter of the American Red Cross, Lucas County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) and United Way will discuss ways individuals can assist during a disaster.

“It’s a good idea to get involved in the community to see what kind of opportunities are available before a disaster. That way you can get some training in and prepare in case of an actual event,” said Cheryl Murphy, disaster response coordinator for the Lucas County MRC. Murphy will provide background about the Medical Reserve Corps and how volunteers can get involved, she said. The organization provides assistance during any national disaster that may need medical assistance.

“We assist from flood, tornadoes and pandemic flu to any type of terrorism — small pox or anthrax. Anything that might place strain on a hospital, we’ll assist with,” Murphy said.

Often, MRC volunteers are retired nurses or doctors, but volunteers don’t need a medical background as the organization provides training to its volunteers, she said.

The Red Cross also trains its disaster action teams and volunteers prior to an event, said Diane Dixon, director of volunteer management at the Red Cross.

Dixon will outline training volunteers receive as well as what Red Cross volunteers do on a daily basis at the session, she said.

“Just like in Millbury, volunteers always step up. [The Ready U session] will teach them about what they can do to make a greater impact in the community when there is another disaster,” Dixon said. “Unfortunately there will be another big event. There

is always another event.”

Ready U is presented by the Red Cross and Lucas County Emergency Management Agency.

“Volunteering in a Disaster” is scheduled for Jan. 24 at 7 p.m. and will last an hour. The session will take place

at Toledo-Lucas County Public Library Main Branch, 325 N. Michigan St. For more about Ready U programs and information on how to prepare for an emergency, visit ready-u.com.

Maumee gets sweet new business

By Sarah Ottney

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Maumee residents may have noticed some delicious new smells wafting from under a bright red awning at the corner of Wayne and Conant streets.

Maumee Valley Chocolate and Candy quietly opened its doors in November. The shop offers more than 700 varieties of treats, including chocolates, chocolate-dipped strawberries and specialty popcorn made fresh daily. It also offers gift baskets, retro candy, penny candy, lollipops, chocolate-covered pretzel rods, Oreos and graham crackers, 40 varieties of boxed chocolates, nuts and gummies as well as sugar-free treats.

Owner Stephanie Anderson said the idea was to offer something for everyone.

“Our goal in mind was to have the gourmet chocolates for those who are chocolate connoisseurs, but also for them to be able to have their children come in and have an affordable option like penny candy for the kids,” Anderson said. “We tried to make a mix of everything.”

If your favorite treat is not found

on its shelves, the shop takes requests.

“We’ve actually had so many requests,” Anderson said. “Some of them we can’t find, but we’re trying to make the store kind of what the community wants, so they feel like they’re a part of it, too.”

Anderson and her husband, Jeff, who live in Maumee, had been eyeing the storefront for two years as they took walks with their young son.

“It’s something we’ve wanted to do for a long time, 10 years, but the question was where,” Jeff Anderson said. “This building is so beautiful, the history is so rich. We thought, ‘Hey, maybe this candy idea might actually come to life.’”

The building was built as a drugstore in 1905; the family renovated the original side windows as well as brightened the dark-colored interior of the building’s former tenant, a cigar shop, Jeff Anderson said.

Stephanie’s cousin Jason Sieminski, who serves as general manager, makes running the shop a family affair.

“We just really wanted to bring some family-oriented business to downtown, so people with kids like us could bring their kid to town, have some fun, and make an afternoon of

it,” Stephanie Anderson said.

The couple’s son, now 3 ½ , loves to come in, grab one of shop’s red candy bags and “shop,” Jeff Anderson said.

The shop also offers full-service party and event catering for weddings, birthdays and holidays.

Candy stations have become popular at weddings, so the shop’s booth was a hit at a recent bridal show, Jeff Anderson said. Guests scarfed down a display of chocolates and strawberries before he had time to post that it was for display only, he said with a laugh.

The shop, which hosted a ribboncutting in December, did brisk business over the holidays, with gift baskets flying off the shelves as fast as they could make them, Jeff Anderson said, and support from the community has continued.

“We have a lot of local repeat customers that come in every couple days so that’s kind of neat,” Jeff Anderson said.

Maumee Valley Chocolate and Candy, 101 E. Wayne St., is open seven days a week: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. Online ordering will be available soon. For more information, visit www.valley candy.com or call (419) 893-2388. O

In our Jan. 16 “Get Fit” column, Mark pointed out the fact that I have lost 40 pounds since summer. To date, I have lost six pants sizes, two inches in my neck and have gone from an XL shirt size to a size medium. Mark is also doing great, losing nearly 20 pounds in the past Mark CLAIR few weeks. I now know specifically how Nolan BAKER to better take care of my health and what choices I must make in order to not lose what I’ve worked so hard to get.

The same can be said when it comes to protecting what a family has financially. Recognizing what is important and gaining knowledge is good, but nothing happens until action is taken. Two specific action steps can be taken to protect what is important; protecting investments against loss and using insurance to protect yourself and the entire family.

Looking at the stock market, it is great to see how fast the economy has recovered since the 2008 stock market collapse. Yet, unfortunately at this point many investors become lazy thinking their investments are doing fine and there is no need to make changes. Don’t make this mistake as it can be extremely dangerous. If the amount of loss an investor took in the past is not acceptable in the future, then there needs to be specific steps taken to prevent those losses from happening again, as Mark often describes, a mind shift needs to occur, or as Sara describes the keys to my physical fitness in the future is a lifestyle change. Protecting investment accounts against loss can be done in several ways.

The next way to protect against losses is to use good old-fashioned insurance.

Buying insurance allows an individual or a family to transfer risk to someone else. This can be done with car, home, health, life, disability and long-term care insurance to name just a few of the common types.

The solution is to do a comprehensive review of all of the insurances. Since insurance can be purchased in various amounts and for various risks, review protecting what is most important first. Several different software programs and analyses can be done to find out what is the right amount of coverage an individual or a family needs.

Protecting what a family has against loss is an important step in complete financial fitness. The logical conclusion is it is much better to protect against loss before the loss occurs. Reacting after the fact can lead to emotional purchases often at times when it might be too late. We realize reviewing insurances and strategies to avoid stock market losses when things seem to be going fine can seem unimportant. But trust us, now more than ever while everything seems fine is the most important time to review ways to protect against losses in the future.

COLLEGE SPORTS

By Mike Bauman

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Many of today’s up-and-coming basketball players display a swagger and arrogance that accompanies their talent and athletic prowess. Players can be seen pounding their chests, flexing, roaring after big dunks and frequently jawing at the opposition.

Ohio State University junior guard and Toledo native William Buford bucks that trend. On Jan. 15, the No. 2 Buckeyes were at home in a nailbiter, striving to stay unbeaten against fearless Penn State. With under three minutes to play and Ohio State trailing 61-60, a defensive lapse by the Nittany Lions left Buford wide open at the top of the three-point line. The 6-foot, 5-inch African Studies major from Toledo Libbey High School calmly caught the pass, fluidly knocked down the trey to give the lead back to his team and quietly jogged backwards to the other end of the floor as 18,809 fans in Value City Arena went nuts. No chest-pounding. No flexing. No selfabsorbed celebrating. Just a trigger of a shot and a cold, focused stare.

Buford’s talent and demeanor are big reasons why OSU held on for that 69-66 win against Penn State and are the No. 1 team in the country at 19-0.

“My family and my parents keep me grounded,” Buford said in a phone interview with Toledo Free Press. “I owe them all the respect for that.

They’ve always been on me [saying], ‘Don’t ever get too bigheaded,’ same as my coaches and my teammates. They all kept me humble.”

While the soft-spoken Buford is doesn’t say much, his multifaceted game on the basketball court has spoken volumes since his high school days with the Cowboys. Buford was a four-year starter at Libbey, where he earned three consecutive Toledo City League Player of the Year honors and was named Ohio’s Mr. Basketball, the Division II Co-Player of the Year as a senior in 2008, and McDonald’s, Parade and Jordan Brand All-American honors. One of the highest-ranked players in the 2008 class for his smooth shooting stroke and upside, Buford committed to Ohio State in October of his junior year, deciding to join the ranks of Toledo greats Kelvin Ransey, Dennis Hopson and Jim Jackson, who all elected to play for the Buckeyes.

“I knew it was a great basketball program,” Buford said. “It was close to home. I figured it was best for me and my family, and I loved the organi-

zation. I’ve been watching Ohio State since I was a little kid. It was just an honor for them to even want to recruit me, so that’s why I came.”

Buford wasted no time in showing everyone why he was one of the topranked players in his high school class, tying for a game-high 13 points on 50 percent shooting from the field in his first game at Ohio State. He went on to earn Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors in 2009 after averaging 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists for the 22-11 Buckeyes. In his sophomore season, Buford’s averages increased to 14.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, which earned him third-team All-Big Ten honors as Ohio State finished with a 29-8 record and made it to the Sweet 16, where it fell 76-73 to Tennessee.

“The four starters that were there had a sour taste in their mouth after that last game,” Buford said of the Sweet 16 loss. “You’ve just got to value every possession. That’s the main thing. Value every possession and play hard as long as you’re out there.”

Buford and his teammates took that loss to heart and have been playing with a chip on their collective shoulder this season, evident from the start as the Buckeyes took down then-No. 10-ranked Florida 93-75 on the road in their second game of the 2010-11 campaign. He is one of four Ohio State starters averaging double figures in scoring, the others being sensational freshman forward Jared Sullinger (17.4 ppg), senior guard/ forward David Lighty (13 ppg) and senior guard Jon Diebler (11.5 ppg).

“You just can’t stop or guard one person on this team,” Buford said. “It’s going to be hard to stop one person, but teams are going to give us their best shot every game. We know that, so we’ve just got to come out and play hard.”

Buford has done just that this year, as the Buckeyes’ second-leading scorer at 13.7 points per game to go with his 4.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per contest. He has also bulked up from 182 to 205 pounds since his freshman season, allowing him to become a more well-rounded player this year as he is shooting a career-best 45.8 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from three-point range.

“It was a good transition,” Buford said. “I’ve been picking up weight.

Our strength and conditioning coach has been working with us real hard.

In high school, everybody was like the same strength and you can bump people off, but when I got stronger I was able to take contact more.”

Quiet riot: Buford playing big for No. 1 Bucks

n

LIbbey High School graduate William Buford is the second-leading scorer on the OSU BasketbalL team.

Another big reason for Buford’s personal success and the team’s success is Ohio State head coach Thad Matta, whom Buford credits for being able to get the best out of his players and compete at a high level.

“He’s just such a great guy,” Buford said. “I love his style of play. It’s just everything about him. He gets the best out of you every day in practice.”

Buford’s play has not gone unnoticed by his Toledo basketball brethren

in the aforementioned Ransey, Hopson and Jackson, whom he says have told him to stay hungry, focused, not lose sight of what he’s doing and continue to get better each day. Buford recently met Ransey, a Macomber graduate who began this season as the Buckeyes’ fourth all-time leading scorer with 1,934 career points, for the first time at a captain’s dinner.

“It was nice,” Buford said. “I used to hear about [Ransey] a lot back in my

hometown. When I met him, it was real exciting. He’s one of the greatest players and top scorers to ever come out of Ohio State.”

Those former Toledo and Ohio State stars are just the few of many in the basketball world who have been keeping an eye on No. 44. An old adage is to watch out for the quiet ones. That’s fitting, because the message of Buford’s game says just that: Watch out. O

BOWLING

Local bowler wins state championship

By Sarah Ottney

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

A local woman recently bowled her way to a title that has eluded her for years — an Ohio Queens Tournament champion.

Professional bowler Jodi Woessner of Oregon won the annual singles tournament on Jan. 9 at Roseland Lanes near Cleveland, competing against 123 female bowlers from across Ohio. “The Queens tourney is the most prestigious, biggest women’s tourney in Ohio,� Woessner said. “I’ve bowled in it close to 20 times and come close to winning an awful lot of times, but this was the first time I won it, so it was a good feeling.�

The victory was even more special because Woessner dedicated it to the memory of her friend, a longtime coworker at Owens Corning, who had recently died. Her friend’s funeral was held during the qualifying rounds on Jan. 8 and Woessner wasn’t able to go. “It was just one of those special things,� Woessner said of winning. “I just felt at ease and just knew I was going to win. It was definitely a different feeling than I had had in the past. I just kind of pulled from her strength and remained calm.�

The tournament came down to two undefeated bowlers, Woessner and Lindsey Coulles of Dayton. To win, Woessner had to defeat Coulles twice, which she accomplished with a score of 246-228 in the first match and 248-216 in the second match. “I thought I was pretty much going to lose it when I realized I had it locked up for the win,� Woessner said. “I kept it together pretty well, although I had tears streaming down my face. It was definitely something special.�

The Lake High School graduate grew up in Millbury and said she has

WOESSNER been bowling “pretty much ever since I could walk.� “My parents were both big-time bowlers and this has always been in my blood,� Woessner said. “It’s something that came naturally to me, not that it’s not a lot of hard work, but I’ve been fortunate to have been very successful and that keeps me motivated.�

Another motivating factor is Woessner’s competitive streak, which came out even more when the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) recently started allowing women to enter tournaments and compete against men. “That added another dynamic, where not only can you be the best of women, but you can compete against men,� Woessner said.

Woessner has risen to that challenge, as she is one of only six women to have won a PBA regional title against male bowlers. She won hers in 2008, her first year bowling with the PBA, competing against 97 other bowlers, including PBA star Jason Couch. Only one other woman competed in the tournament. “That kind of kick-started the next couple of years,� Woessner said. “That was a pretty big deal.� O

INDUSTRY

By Corey Williams ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT (AP) — Sharp designs with pizazz, power and elegance helped pull in crowds during the public opening of the North American International Auto Show, with U.S. automakers doing their best to impress consumers looking for signs of the industry’s recovery.

Thousands of people from around the world filed from exhibit to exhibit inside the sprawling Cobo Center in Detroit. They perused the newest models from General Motors, Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler, as well as top competition from Europe and Asia.

“The last two years, people would come and look. But now, they are sitting in the vehicles and asking questions,’’ said 43-year-old Sherry Fedewa, a manager in an auto parts company. “People can actually afford to buy something.’’

New car and truck sales came in last year at 11.6 million, up 11 percent from 2009. December sales rose to 1.14 million, an 11 percent leap from a year earlier.

The annual auto show often gives consumers and car enthusiasts their first close look at the new vehicles, engine upgrades and gadgets coming off the assembly line each year.

Amid renewed optimism in the American auto industry, organizers expect higher attendance than last year’s 714,000 visitors — and auto companies worked to convince them that the industry and region were recovering.

Beneath massive video screens,

under banks of bright lights and parked on plush carpeting or tiles of various colors were vehicles of all kinds, from ultra-small SMART cars to ultra-large sport utility vehicles. The mix included minivans, striking subcompacts and top-of-the-line luxury vehicles.

“We love the auto show. It’s nostalgia,’’ said Alissa McCoy, who drove about 80 miles from her home in Lansing. “It’s what you do when you’re from Michigan.’’

GM’s corner appeared to be drawing the biggest crowds, with dozens of people circling the company’s sport utility vehicles and sportier models.

But the latest models from Ford and Chrysler also garnered interest.

Fedewa was among those ogling the new Chevy Volt, an electric car with a base sticker price of $40,280.

In December, GM sold between 250 and 350 of the cars, which the company said can travel about 40 miles on battery power before needing a charge but come with a backup gas engine to extend that range to 375 miles. GM predicts it will sell 10,000 in 2011, and between 35,000 and 45,000 in 2012.

“It just stands out from the rest of all the smaller cars,’’ said Fedewa, of Burton, about 50 miles northwest of Detroit. “I like the style of the tail lights. The design looks so sleek.’’

McCoy, who works for GM, vowed not to stray from the GM family, but said the ultra-luxurious Maybach at the Mercedes-Benz exhibit might make her reconsider. A small army of amateur paparazzi wielding digital cameras and cell phones surrounded the long, sleek luxury car.

U.S. automakers draw big crowds at Detroit auto show

■

THE CHEVROLET VOLT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A ‘STANDOUT’ AT THIS YEAR’S DETROIT AUTO SHOW.

A disc jockey kicked out music near GM’s new Sonic subcompact — aimed at younger drivers — including one in a dazzling orange. Ford displayed its Mustang GT CS in “grabbier blue’’ and a “yellow blaze’’ Mustang 5.0.

It all made for a better show than in past years, said David Gilhula, a field engineer for a natural gas company.

“There are more vehicles and displays — some of the high-end cars like Ferrari and Maserati,’’ said Gilhula, of Kitchener, Ontario.

Gilhula, 61, said he owns a Cadillac DTS and is impressed by GM’s progress. The Detroit automaker filed

for bankruptcy in 2009, but made $4.2 billion in the first three quarters of last year and is expected to post a fourthquarter profit in the coming weeks.

“Three or four years ago, I figured GM — the name — was gone,’’ he said.

Tim Holton, a utility inspector from Detroit, said any rebound is due to car companies finally paying attention to car buyers.

“They are listening to us instead of their boards of directors,’’ Holton, 37, said. “We could care less about their quarters. We care about getting my kids to soccer games and how many times I have to fill up the gas tank.’’

With gas prices again on the rise and more than $3 per gallon in the Detroit area, Holton sized up a 2011 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid. He wants something with good mileage but with enough room for his three young children.

In about six months, Ron Tate expects to buy a new car. He looked at the Chevy Malibu, but spent a lot to time in the Toyota exhibit.

“I want something very dependable ... that will keep running for a couple hundred thousand miles,’’ said Tate, a project manager from Flint, about 53 miles northwest of Detroit.

The show runs through Jan. 23. ✯

have avoided UAW rules that owners say can make plants less efficient.

King said after years of declining membership, the union needed to represent a larger share of workers in the auto industry to strengthen its position at the bargaining table.

He said the UAW had picketed about 50 of the largest foreign auto dealerships in the U.S. and planned to increase the number to 300 or 400 dealerships around the country.

King said the union would need to mobilize all of its 1 million active and retired members in the organizing push.

In 2009, when General Motors and Chrysler sought bankruptcy and Ford faced severe financial problems, the union agreed to let the companies pay newly hired workers about $15 per hour, about half the hourly wage of a longtime UAW worker. It also agreed to scrap the “jobs bank,’’ in which laid-off workers got most of their pay indefinitely for doing nothing. ✯

Daily attendance figures up for Auto Show DETROIT (AP) — The North American International Auto Show in Detroit continues to surpass last year’s daily public attendance.

More than 250,000 people have attended the event in its first three public days at Cobo Center downtown.

Jan. 15’s attendance reached 86,622. An additional 99,111 people filed through Sunday and 64,520 Jan. 17. Each of those figures is higher than the same days for the 2010 show.

A spokesman says the show is on pace to reach its goal of 750,000 people through Jan. 23. Attendance last year was about 715,000. That was a jump of about 65,000 people versus 2009.

The annual event features the latest models and concept vehicles and draws visitors from around the world. ✯

UAW President Bob King laid out in stark terms the importance of the union’s work to organize a plant owned by a Japanese, South Korean or German competitor to the Detroit Three. King said the UAW would decide in three months which company it would target but said the organizing plans were critical to the union’s outlook.

“If we don’t organize these transnationals, I don’t think there’s a longterm future for the UAW, I really don’t,’’ King said in a speech at the union’s legislative conference.

During the past three decades, the UAW has had little success in organizing workers at U.S. factories owned by foreign car makers, which have built plants mostly in southern states, which are generally not as union-friendly as the industrial Midwest.

Many of the foreign car companies pay wages comparable to UAW-represented factories owned by Detroit automakers, but the foreign companies

Toledo gallery launches T hi-def Latino TV station

By Sarah Ottney TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

©2011 20 North Gallery. All rights reserved.

The producers of a Bowling Greenbased online television station focusing on arts, activism and multicultural issues in Northwest Ohio are set to launch a spinoff station in South Toledo focusing on Latino issues. RODRIGUEZ-WINTER W E PAw e b T V, which broadcasts free in high-definition via Veetle.com, has attracted nearly 800,000 viewers with its mix of local and national original programming since it started in March 2010, said co-producer Luis Chaluisan.

The station’s new venture, BARRIO SETV, will be housed in a 2,000-square-foot space inside La Galeria de Americas, a gallery on South Broadway Street that promotes cultural awareness and tolerance through art.

Maria Rodriguez-Winter, founder and owner of La Galeria, donated the space, which includes oak wood floors, natural and broadcast lighting, an overhead projection booth, broadcast and recording facilities and a 150foot antique service counter. The gallery is across the street from the Sofia Quintero Art and Cultural Center, which Rodriguez-Winter co-founded.

“I’m excited to have this opportunity to provide a venue for Latino artists and increase our exposure in terms of size of audience,” Rodriguez-Winter said. “We’ve talked to various leaders in the community and everyone has been very open and supportive.”

An official launch party will be hosted at 8 p.m. Feb. 4 at SamB's Restaurant, 163 S. Main St., Bowling Green. The event, which will be broadcast live, will feature live music, DJs, poets, dancers, burlesque comedians and more, including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Rick Gerbeck, Steven Jay Athanas as The White Barry CHALUISAN White and His Acts Of Love, poetic art and music by Imani Lateef and Megan Yasu, and artist and sculptor Emanuel Enriquez. Local artists and authors will have work available for sale.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students with ID. A $10 pre-sale ticket will include two complimentary drinks.

All proceeds will help underwrite programming for BARRIO SETV. The new station will cover anything related to the Latino community, including new exhibits, local artists, guest speakers from Latino organizations and other topics of local, statewide, nationwide and international interest, Rodriguez-Winter said. Upcoming programming will feature Mexican-American artist Enriquez of Bowling Green and Father Francisco Molina of El Salvador, Chaluisan said.

Chaluisan, a former investigative journalist at Telemundo and CBS, was raised in the Bronx. He started broadcasting online in New York City as a “new media experiment” in the early days of Web streaming. In 2009, when he returned to Northwest Ohio, where he had worked early in his career, he decided to set up a station here.

Chaluisan said he wanted to create an alternative to the mainstream media, so that local voices and concerns could be aired directly.

“The local stations do not pay the attention they should to Latino, AfricanAmerican, gays, artists and low-income white audiences in Toledo,” Chaluisan said. “They are completely missing the point. They are so enmeshed with and beholden to local advertisers and to whoever is pulling strings up at city hall.

They are compromised.”

WEPAwebTV was broadcast from the Ground Level Coffeehouse in Toledo before it closed; it now broadcasts from downtown Bowling Green.

Past programming has included PBS documentaries, exclusive films, informational and health shows, local events, poetry readings, Latin music and more, Chaluisan said.

The 54-year-old Chaluisan said he is passionate about the new project, having seen the progress Hispanic culture has made in Northwest Ohio in the past 20 years.

“Being a Puerto Rican who lived here in the 1980s, when I had to have seasoning shipped in from New York City, now I come back and everything is available to me, including programming,” Chaluisan said. “The future of Toledo is not either African-American or white; the future of Toledo is Latino-Americans.”

Chaluisan said he hopes to create what amounts to an online community cultural center.

“We all look for something that sums up our careers and we want something to sum it up positively,” Chaluisan said. “I think that in the long run, this will be my legacy.”

Culture clash

hough most of us don’t realize its wonder until much later, there is a magical period between the birth of your first child and the time he or she discovers there is culture especially made for children. You can still watch your favorite TV shows, listen to your favorite music and possibly even fit in a newly released movie on DVD from time to time. As your child begins to discover and wield the world’s cultural offerings for the toddler crowd, however, the comforting walls of your own adult culture slowly and quietly begin to crumble around you. You eventually find yourself waking up in the middle of the night with the “Sid the Science Kid” theme running torturously through your brain and singing along to Kidz Bop alone in the car just because you’ve forgotten that alternatives exist.

I still remember the moment six years ago when my husband, Mike, and I realized that our own pop culture needed to take a backseat for the good of our first child. We had not yet figured out that continuing to put our not-yet-2-year-old down for a daytime nap was what was keeping him wide awake until 11 p.m. After hours of unsuccessfully trying to get him to go to sleep each night, we would attempt to save our sanity by continuing our pre-parenting watch-TV-andcuddle-in-bed routine with an extra cuddler in Shannon SZYPERSKI the middle. Jack would finally gain contentment just by being sandwiched between us or even quietly nod off to sleep. One night as we watched yet another “The King of Queens” rerun, however, we heard Jack giggle and then interject, “Silly Artur!”

Still, there was plenty of room for our cultural life to live in harmony with the cultural life of our offspring. And then there wasn’t.

Our second child, Elaine, came along and was initially a bit deprived of the wide-open cultural space we had allowed Jack at the same age. The choosing of books, TV and music generally defaulted to her brother, as he was the one cognitively ready to realize that he actually cared about making such decisions.

It wasn’t long, however, before Elaine caught on and the unrelenting, as-old-ashumanity sibling tug-of-war began to manifest itself within the confines of our family. As much as she did just want to be part of the mix, Elaine eventually realized that she also didn’t so much want to spend all of her time immersed in everything Pokemon and Ben 10. An all-out boy/girl, preschool/grade-school culture clash soon commenced, leaving me to trade in the Baby Bjorn I had grown so accustomed to wearing for a black and white shirt and a whistle.

I used to scoff at other adults who allowed their children to dictate the cultural pulse running through their homes. I then became one of them, which seems to be a recurring theme of parenthood. Yes, Mike and I let “Top Chef ” and “The Office” slide and gave up on evening reruns altogether. However, we put up a fierce fight for “Lost” right up until the bitter end. I hesitate to admit it publicly, but there was a weeknight in the not-so-distant past when a certain boy, who should have been sleeping soundly in preparation for school the next day, was not only allowed but actually sent downstairs to play Wii for an hour when bedtime just didn’t take before “Lost” began. It was not a proud or oft-repeated moment, but it happened. Unlike our “The King of Queens” toddler incident early on, at least our 7-year-old remains in the dark about smoke monsters and creepy islands. ✯ Shannon and her husband Michael are raising three children in Sylvania.

Glass Pavilion offers hot indoor activity

By Kristen Criswell TOLEDO FREE PRESS SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR krapin@toledofreepress.com

Art Hours at the Toledo Museum of Art’s Glass Pavilion offer Toledoans an escape from the winter blues.

“It’s a great indoor activity,” said Jeff Mack, manager of the museum’s glass studio.

Each Art Hour session offers individuals the chance to make their own glass artwork. There are different Art Hour sessions for flame work, flat glass and glass blowing.

The sessions are all designed for individuals who’ve never made glass, Mack said. A facilitator will guide individuals through the entire process, he said.

“They’ll lead a safety talk where you can touch tools.

Then they’ll discuss the glass and what it’s made out of so they have an understanding of the material,” he said. “They get you right into the process. Walk through one and then the facilitator helps each person out through the process.”

Depending on the project, Art Hour sessions can range in size from six to eight people.

The Art Hours projects are often themed with the time of year. Projects vary from flowers, which are often made by glass apprentices just starting out, to pumpkins at Halloween and icicles in the winter, Mack said.

During the next few weeks individuals will have the chance to make glass hearts during Art Hours.

“The glass hearts make great gifts for your sweetheart.

You can say, ‘Look I made this for you’” Mack said. “It’s not as refined, but you can say it’s something that you made.”

Art Hours give those who may be interested in glass blowing the opportunity to try it.

“People who have seen glass blowing are curious to see what it feels like. [Art Hours] are a great way to know if it’s something interesting in pursuing,” Mack said. “Glass tends to get expensive, so those who are looking into it as a hobby, this is a good way for them to dip a toe in the water.”

GLASS FLOWERS MADE DURING TMA ART HOURS. Individuals who are interested in Art Hour sessions with their family or group of friends can contact the visitors’ service desk and reserve a session during the week, Mack said.

“It’s a great thing you can do with your friends,” he said.

“You all can watch each other work, compare your art and tease each other.”

The Glass Pavilion also hosts wine tasting sessions and free glass blowing demonstrations on the weekend.

“You can have a glass of wine at the wine tasting, make a piece of art, have some food and watch a local glass artist working in the hot shop. It’s something neat to do on a Friday night or Saturday and Sunday afternoon,” he said.

All Art Hour classes are hosted in the glass studio inside TMA’s Glass Pavilion. Art Hours are $15 for museum members and $25 for nonmembers. Individuals can sign up for each weekend’s Art Hour starting the Tuesday before by calling (419) 254-5771 Ext.7448. For a full list of events and Art Hours, visit www.toledomuseum.org/calendar. ✯

Doors tribute benefits YWCA A Tribute to Jim Morrison is scheduled at the Maumee Indoor Theatre for Jan. 29.

The performance features the Maxx Band and Philip Barone as Jim Morrison. The Maxx Band and Barone have performed Doors music for several years at Put-in-Bay and decided to bring the act to Toledo, Barone said.

“I think the music of The Doors hasn’t died. You turn on the radio and you’re going to hear The Doors.

The music is timeless,” Barone said.

“I think people should come out for that reason.”

Proceeds from the concert benefit BARONE the YWCA. The concert begins at 8:30 p.m. with opening act Shane Piasecki.

VIP tickets are $65 and include drinks. General admission is $20.

Tickets can be purchased at Harold Jaffe Jewelers, Rosie’s Italian Grille, The Shed, Koto Buki and Maumee Indoor Theatre.

‘Judy Blue Eyes’ to play Ann Arbor Folk Festival

By Vicki L. Kroll TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER vkroll@toledofreepress.com

For 50 years, Judy Collins has been

on a quest to find and write great songs.

“Something magical happens when you hear a song that you get attached to,” she said. “It’s mystical; you can’t diagnose it; you can’t examine it and

explore it and get any kind of an answer, at least I can’t because it is magical.”

The folk icon is a music conjurer; there’s no misdirection, just a straightforward performance and voila! She’s

made the song her own. Think “Both Sides Now,” “Amazing Grace” and “Send in the Clowns.”

On her 2010 disc, “Paradise,” the 71-year-old opens with the main song from “The Wizard of Oz.” “I was given the opportunity to do a children’s book on the Peter Yarrow imprint of children’s music picture books, and he wanted me to do ‘Over the Rainbow,’ which I’d never sung, although I was named after Judy Garland, which is nice. I was born in the same year the movie came out,” Collins said.

A few seconds later during the phone interview, Collins, who was in London, recalled, “I sang [‘Over the Rainbow’] on ‘The Dinah Shore Show’ in 1981, and that program made it to YouTube, so you can see it there.”

Fans may see the Grammy Award winner perform that classic at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival Jan. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at Hill Auditorium. Tickets are $47.50 and $30 or $85 and $50 for both nights.

“I think [folk music] was always a powerful force long before the ’60s happened, but certainly during the ’60s when it had kind of a rebirth, it was very

helpful to focus people on the things that needed doing,” she said. “I think it’s a powerful force in galvanizing people emotionally and helping them to do the right thing.”

Collins is finishing a book, “Suite Judy Blue Eyes: Sex, Drugs, COLLINS Rock ‘n’ Roll and the Music That Changed a Generation,” which she said will be out this fall, along with a new disc.

While she couldn’t talk about the projects, when asked what it’s like to have a well-known Crosby, Stills & Nash song written for her, she replied, “It gets a girl’s attention.”

She and Stephen Stills sing a duet on “The Last Thing on My Mind” on “Paradise.”

“We’ve been friends all these years, but we’d never sung together,” she said. “We actually recorded together on my album in 1968 during that love affair when he wrote ‘Suite Judy Blue Eyes,’ but we’d never sung together, so it was thrilling.” ✯

CARLSON’S CRITTERS

A home for Gunther Gunther is a 2-year-old male cat with a deep gray colored coat and long hair. Gunther likes to be his own boss and is determined to do whatever it is he wants to do. When he wants attention he can be very insistent and will refuse to leave you alone. He will follow you around bumping into your legs and squawking at you until you give him what he wants. When he wants some alone time, he will find a quiet place to sleep and ignore you if you call for him. Gunther doesn’t mind other cats but he likes to have his own space. He is a little underweight but he will look gorgeous once he gains a few pounds.
