Skate for hope

F

or 10 years, I have been traveling to Bowling Green, Ohio, to perform in Skate for Hope. Out of all the events I do each year, Skate for Hope has a special meaning to me. The reason being that Skate for Hope supports cancer research as well as friends and family of those impacted by cancer.

My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 8 years old and, in many ways, skating helped me and my family through her diagnosis and treatment.

Soon after undergoing multiple rounds of treatment, my mother watched my sister Sarah win her first national medal as National Junior Champion. Her diagnosis put everything in perspective, but Sarah’s win was a celebration for the whole family. Skating gave us all a chance to forget about cancer, hospitals and chemo, even if just for a few moments.

By the time Sarah became the 2002 Emily HUGHES Olympic champion and I represented the U.S. in the 2006 Olympics, my mother had scored a victory that dwarfed anything ever done on the ice: She watched all our triumphs cancer-free.

I recognize that the story of my family is only one of millions of stories in the battle against cancer. Having the chance to perform again at Skate for Hope, I feel as though I get the chance to do something I love and give back to the community. Skate for Hope has already raised over $540,000 for research, but the show is more than a fundraiser. It’s an experience for the 7-year-old whose mother was just diagnosed with breast cancer and the teenager skating for their recently diagnosed uncle, and the 30-somethingyear-old skating for herself after overcoming a diagnosis.

Skate for Hope began over 12 years ago. The founder, Carolyn Bongirno, had overcome stage 3 breast cancer and set out to create an event that would empower people of all ages to better cope with a friend or family member’s cancer diagnosis as well as teach the importance of giving back to one’s community.

This year, I will be joined by World Professional Champion Dan Hollander; Alexe Gilles, aka Elsa from Disney on Ice’s “Princesses and Heroes”; two-time national champion and Bowling Green native Alissa Czisny; four-time national champion Jeremy Abbott; and national pairs champions Alexa Scimeca and Chris Knierim.

The show will also feature 95 amateur skaters from Northwest Ohio who earned spots in the event through local fundraising.

Skate for Hope is a one-of-a-kind skating show where the community comes together. On May 2, Skate for Hope will bring together world-class figure skaters, brave cancer survivors and their loved ones in a show that dazzles and inspires. I hope to see you all at the BGSU Ice Arena!

Proceeds from Skate for Hope go toward multiple cancer research and support service organizations, including the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation.

Tickets start at just $11 and are on sale at the door, online and at all Ticketmaster locations. For more information, visit www.skateforhope.org. O Emily Hughes is the 2007 U.S. National silver medalist and was a member of the 2006 U.S. Olympic team. She is the younger sister of Sarah Hughes, who won gold at the 2002 Olympics.

FALLING FORWARD

Problem at the pump

I

did something ... wrong the other day. Not illegal or anything like that — I would never even consider doing something against the law (and then admitting to it in print). Nor was it ethically wrong, as my basic state of being is a crushing sense of guilt and adding anything to that would just be pouring salt on the open wound of my psyche. No, in no real sense of the word was what I did “wrong,” really. It just felt that way.

I bought $14.68 in gasoline.

Really. That’s it. Now you might justifiably be scoffing at this and turning the page to another one of our fine, fine writers here at Toledo Free Press, and I wouldn’t blame you one bit if you did. But if you’ll stick with me a bit, I’ll try to explain and examine just why this particular purchase felt so unshakably off-kilter.

Still here? OK, good.

So here’s the thing — I didn’t purchase $14.68 in gas because that was the exact amount that Jeff McGinnis topped off my tank, or because that was the exact amount of available cash I had on hand. (Truth be told, of these two possibilities, the latter is far more likely than the former.

My car’s gas tank has been full exactly twice in the whole time I have owned it, I think.) No, I was putting gas in the tank and just ... stopped. At $14.68.

And for some reason, this choice has annoyed me ever since, like I broke some unwritten code of gasoline purchase — because it wasn’t an even dollar amount. I hadn’t chosen to stop at $14.00, nor squeezed just a hair longer and ended up with a much more pleasing $15.00. No, my fill-up had ceased at exactly 14 dollars and 68 cents. And this bizarre, inconsequential choice has somehow stuck in my craw.

It hadn’t really occurred to me until this incident (if what happened can even be termed an “incident,” which I would argue is far from the case) how obsessed I have been with the idea of pumping gas to a round number. A self-pumping stop at the station just seems so much more satisfying if the amount ends in an even double-zero: $10.00, $20.00. Once in a blue moon, $30.00. Heck, back in my lean college days when I was scraping together every spare penny to get fuel into my Chevy Nova, even a simple $5.00. (Yes, children, there was a time when $5 in gas could do more than barely get you to and from the gas station.)

But no matter what the number at the beginning of the amount, the thing that really mattered was the two zeroes at the end. And when I would miss this mark — squeezing just a hair too long and ending up with $20.01 or .02 — it would, bizarrely, feel like failure. Failure of what? I have no idea. But I would unmistakably shake my head and feel a pang of disappointment, like a track runner who hadn’t hit his or her target time. Maybe next race.

Is this superstition? I don’t consider myself the sort who puts stock in such things, beyond considering them cultural artifacts that tell us more about the human condition than they do actual supernatural influence. If I had to nail it down, I’d say it was more a simple habit — but what is superstition if not a habit given some reason for existing?

But a habit that serves no real purpose does nothing but drag us down into mindless routine, doesn’t it? Perhaps at a time when we had to pay in cash after pumping ourselves, or when keeping track of finances was considerably harder than it is nowadays, keeping my gasoline purchase rounded to the nearest dollar had some utility. But now? When every gas station has you pay in advance and every penny you spend is easily accounted for online? The utility is almost nonexistent. All that’s left is that nagging feeling that a round number is somehow desirable, with no real purpose behind it.

I dislike the idea of being chained to a pattern of behavior just because that’s the way it always has been. In my mind, I had been wasting precious seconds of my life precariously squeezing the pump to reach that even number. No more. By God, from this day forward, I shall fill my tank until I feel it’s full enough. To hell with the arbitrary pricing numbers on display!

If I want to buy $14.68 in gas, I will, and I won’t feel bad about it!

But it still feels wrong, doesn’t it? O Jeff McGinnis is Pop Culture Editor at Toledo Free Press. He can be reached at PopGoesJeff@gmail.com.

Having only written a book about this historical period, I t was a bitterly cold January morning when I climbed the stairs of the Toledo Free Press offices for a first ever meeting was a little unsure of the correct stylistic approach to take for a weekly column. Michael promptly advised with then-Editor in Chief Michael Miller. that I put myself into it, and let the reader get Though normally I tend to let the cards to know me personally, as well as the history I fall as they will in my life, this day I was stepwas sharing. I took that suggestion to heart and ping out with a “nothing ventured, nothing it worked, even though some unflattering mogained” attitude. I approached Michael with ments of my life are now public knowledge. the idea of writing a weekly history column Since then, new doors of opportunity have about the events that occurred in the Northopened and my circle of history-nut friends has west Ohio region during the War of 1812, begreatly expanded, triggered because they read cause 2012 was the bicentennial of the event. the column offered me by the gracious Michael I didn’t have to wait long for Michael’s reacMiller.

Thank you, readers, and happy 10th anniversary to one of moments he said we should make the first column the feature America’s most relevant newspapers. O story in one of the next issues. It took a few minutes for me to understand that meant the cover story! Over the next two Frank Kuron is author of the War of 1812 book, “Thus Fell years, I was blessed to have over 25 columns accepted.

Tecumseh.” Email him at kuronpubs@bex.net. n OTTNEY CONTINUED FROM 3 A few weeks ago, I got some ribbing from co-workers after TFP ran several positive letters to the editor about my column (“Bully pulpit,” Feb. 22) responding to Burris’ column. It’s not that I didn’t also get criticism; I did.

But those people declined permission to run their letters. One emailer stated: “You are not any better than The Blade if you don’t look into the dog and the dog’s history of attacks. Sugarcoat what you want. That is easy. True investigation, true reporting takes guts and persistence. Maybe the truth just isn’t what Toledo papers are interested in.”

Fair enough. For whatever reason, it’s never been reported that there is at least one prior incident on file with local law enforcement involving Moses.

On Sept. 11, 2011, Ron and Kimberly Taylor, who live near Moses’ owners’ business on Route 20 called police after a dog without identification came onto their property. A sheriff’s office report states that the dog — later identified as Moses — “was acting aggressively” and “causing issues” with the Taylors’ animals. The report also states the dog had been seen on other occasions.

I recently spoke with Ron, who said he remembers the incident well as it happened during his daughter’s 7th birthday party. He said the dog attacked his female Great Dane, which caused his male Great Dane to jump in. “It had my female down and by the throat when my other dog came at it,” Ron told me.

He got all the kids inside before approaching the dog, which he said jumped at him and then chased him into his dogs’ kennel, where he managed to jump the fence and secure the dog inside before calling police.

When a sheriff ’s deputy arrived, the dog was “barking and going nuts” inside the kennel, Ron said. The deputy advised Ron to keep it in the kennel

overnight and notify animal control the next day. However, Ron said he became aggravated by the dog’s continuous barking so he decided to let it go. When it wouldn’t leave, he shot at — but didn’t hit — the dog with a paintball gun to drive it away. He said he watched the dog go to another neighbor’s property, where he saw owner Thomas Bischoff pick it up later that night.

Ron said the dog returned to his property weeks later and attacked his female dog again, but he didn’t call police. After that, he said he didn’t see the dog again for years until he recognized Moses on the news after the shooting.

Ron said he is friendly with Moses’ owners, Bischoff and Lauren Meyer, and has done business with them. But he’s frustrated Meyer blamed the incident on his dog being in heat rather than apologize for their dog being on his property. Bischoff is a “good guy,” he said, but needs to keep his dog on his own property. He also disputes “the narrative of poor innocent Moses.”

“The dog I saw that day, that was not a nice little puppy you were going to walk up and pet,” Ron said. “It was growling and barking like crazy. I don’t know [Gilkerson] but I see people trying to get a guy fired over a dog I’ve seen be very aggressive.”

Ron said someone from The Blade left a voicemail message last fall asking about the 2011 report. “I called them back and left them a message, telling them the story I just told you,” he told me. “I never got a call back.”

The now-6-year-old dog is also once again unlicensed. According to the county dog warden, Moses was first licensed in 2011 and then again on Nov. 12, 2014. That license expired Dec. 31.

Moses’ owners did not return a phone call seeking comment. I guess I can’t say I blame them. This doggone story is getting mighty played out. But that’s a whole new (old) story. O Sarah Ottney is editor in chief of Toledo Free Press.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and April 8 is Wear Blue Day. The gesture is meant to raise awareness and acknowledgment that it takes a whole community to keep kids from being abused or neglected, said Dean Sparks, executive director of Lucas County Children Services (LCCS).

In 2014, LCCS received 4,271 referrals for suspected child abuse involving 6,419 children.

Physical abuse allegations accounted for 51 percent of those reports, followed by neglect (35 percent), sexual abuse (12 percent) and emotional abuse (2 percent).

LCCS substantiated 40 percent of all reports received for physical abuse in 2014. That’s up 7 percent from 2013.

Corporal punishment

One topic LCCS is focusing on this year is discouraging corporal punishment, Sparks said.

“We’re not going to say people can’t use corporal punishment on their kids,” Sparks said. “[However,] we draw the line between child abuse and discipline.”

LCCS does not advocate spanking children and believes parents should use other, more effective alternatives to deal with their child’s behavior, Sparks said.

“There’s always been that line between how much is discipline and how much is too much,” he said. “When does this become child abuse? We need people to think about that when using physical discipline — how much danger there is. For example, if you use a cord to spank a child, it’s probably abuse. You’re risking that line between abuse and negligence.

“There’s smacking versus hitting,” Sparks said. “We have to help people figure it out. To pat on the bottom is a different thing than hauling off and hitting them in the face. You get a smart aleck at 13 and you have to really help people think about what the consequences are.”

Sparks had his own personal experience with corporal punishment.

His father was raised in Kentucky “the old-fashioned way” and spanked Sparks when he was growing up in Columbus. However, Sparks did not spank his own children, he said.

“It’s not against the law. You’re allowed to spank children. I don’t think it’s the best way to teach things, personally,” Sparks said. “I never spanked my kids and they all turned out to be responsible adults.”

Spanking actually teaches about the ways in which adults deal with their frustration, anger and stress, he said. Parents who spank often “put up barriers” between themselves and their children, he said.

Marian Brannon, strengthening families coordinator with Lucas County Family Council, agreed.

“Corporal punishment is when parents don’t have the skills or nothing has been modeled for them as a way to affect the child’s behavior,” Brannon said. “A lot of folks are raised with that: ‘This is what my grandmother did.’ But we don’t do anything else your grandmother did so why are you holding on to that? Everything has to evolve.”

Brannon’s work at Family Council focuses on parents because “children don’t abuse themselves,” she said. The group’s ACT Raising Safe Kids programming comes into play when parents are abusing their children through discipline, she said.

The programming helps parents identify what violent discipline is

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com and includes a piece on self-reflection to discover in themselves why they are being violent toward their children, Brannon said.

Brannon said she has run into many professionals who say, “I was spanked and I’m OK,” but “they’ve been through three marriages,” and have a host of other issues that may affect their children.

Christie Jenkins, CEO of the Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center, focuses on trauma, cognitive therapy and advocacy. In her 20 years working with survivors of abuse, she said she has witnessed some pretty horrific sights concerning violence against children.

“A little boy was beaten with an extension cord. Because of the nature of his injury, his clothes were seared to his wounds,” Jenkins said. “Many times we as counselors, as teachers, as social workers have suspicions but we really can’t prove it. If you feel that way, it’s important to report it. We don’t have to prove it; we just have to report it.”

An important aspect of her work getting resources and education to the parents. One way she does this is through the public library. The other part of her job is training people how to protect children.

Adults generally put the responsibility on the child for their own safety, as when telling a child “don’t talk to strangers,” but her program teaches the parent how to keep children safe.

There are a number of conscious actions parents can take to avoid corporal punishment.

First is simply to make a decision about how you’re going to discipline your kids, he said.

“I’ve always said you will raise your child exactly as you were raised unless you make a conscious effort to do it differently,” he said.

One way is to use positive reinforcements. You have to teach children how to act properly, and when you catch them doing something the correct way, praise them. What is “absolutely critical” is leading by example, Sparks said.

Parents can give timeouts to their children or redirect their child’s behavior, Jenkins said. Parents say they don’t have enough time or that they work too much, but Jenkins says five or 10 minutes with a child makes a big difference in their behavior. Play cards or watch a YouTube video together.

“Show you are invested in them,” she said. “Find out what is behind the behavior. They’re acting out because negative attention is better than none at all. Spend time with your children.”

Part of the problem is that many parents in today’s society are under great amounts of pressure, Brannon said. They are struggling at work, living in poverty and lack education.

“We don’t talk about [parents] until the child does something. They need support,” she said.

Family Council’s programing considers five pillars: social connection, resiliency, knowledge of child development, social and emotional competency and concrete support.

Brannon works to support parents in each of the categories.

“My whole umbrella is about building supports,” she said. “[Parents] need resources. They’re on a hamster wheel of trying to get their needs met. ... We just really help parents understand there’s other ways to affect behavior. [Abusers] are essentially modeling bullying.

And we wonder why we have problems with bullying.” O

public information officer. “We’ve become so much more attuned to the needs of our families.”

LCCS, a countywide social service agency based in Toledo, works with families to place children in foster care, facilitate adoption, prevent child abuse and offer a host of other treatments through its partners in the children services sector.

LCCS wants all its supervisors, managers and caseworkers to be trained under the new grant. Multiple partner agencies, including the courts, mental health services, substance abuse prevention and counselors for emotional and physical abuse, will also undergo the training.

There are two types of trauma — acute and chronic, Neal said. Acute may be the loss of a loved one, whereas chronic might be ongoing physical or emotional abuse.

Neal said most parents who come to the agency have unresolved trauma issues and have learned to cope with them through maladaptive behaviors including criminal behavior, physical or sexual abuse or substance abuse.

“I’m really excited about this. We’re the only county in Ohio who is embracing this and trying to be a traumainformed agency and the benefit is to the family,” Neal said. “The federal government is recommending that trauma is a huge part of child welfare.

We’re ahead of the game here.”

The training is offered by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, which has worked with the Chadwick Center for Children & Families out of San Diego. They were the first to implement the training program 10 years ago and it’s now being implemented

across the country, Neal said.

“Traditional counseling doesn’t work,” Neal said. “We need counselors to understand. Traditionally, we see parents using drugs and it’s because they have some problem in their life. Now we’re going to be able to delve into what drove this parent to be using drugs.”

Training will occur in phases starting this summer and ending in December, Neal said. A kickoff two weeks from now will feature a trauma survivor based out of Washington, D.C., who wrote a book based on her experiences. A communitywide kickoff will happen June 23, and will include court employees and foster parents.

The training will change LCCS’s current practices, Neal said. The agency may have more pre-placement visits where children use art therapy in addition to a “whole continuum of things” they will do differently, she said.

“It’s more like a deepening empathy and a deeper level of understanding,” Neal said. “Once they become trained they will have a deep understanding for the parent and patience for them as well.”

Gone are the days of the stereotypical social welfare agency that only swoops in and takes away children, Malkin said.

“Our goal is that we have children going home and staying home in a safe environment,” Neal said.

As part of the grant, a trauma coalition is being formed and its committee will meet at 2 p.m. the second Tuesday of every month at United Way of Greater Toledo, except for April 14 when it will meet at the EMS Building. The meetings are open to the public. Coalition and committee members will include those from the schools, LCCS, courts and mental health providers. O

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com

Civil War exhibit ‘Through Artists’ Eyes’ opens at TMA Toledo Free Press News Editor dstanton@toledofreepress.com

As battles waged between Northern and Southern troops ­— smoke clogging the air, muskets firing and artillery shells booming — artists sat amidst the carnage with their sketchbooks, capturing the images to send back to communities eager for information about the Civil War. These artists and photographers, called “specials” in the 1860s, worked for newspapers and magazines to give Americans an accounting of the war and were often embedded with the troops.

To mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War’s end, the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) has gathered renderings, photographs and artifacts created by Civil War artists for a free exhibit called “The American Civil War: Through Artists’ Eyes,” which opens April 3 and runs through July 5.

The exhibit’s curator, Ed Hill, has spent nine months collecting works from the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan, the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont and the OregonJerusalem Historical Society as well as works from private collectors. The exhibit also contains 50 objects from TMA’s own collection.

“I wanted to do a show not to celebrate the war, but to acknowledge and remember it,” said Hill, who also curated

the museum’s 2013 exhibition, “Perry’s tographers were limited because they couldn’t take live action shots, Hill Victory: The Battle of Lake Erie.”

Sister Judy Zielinski’s knees hadn’t felt right for a decade.

But during the past two years, they began intruding on her personal life more than the 66-year-old Sylvania Franciscan sister was willing to simply chalk up to old age.

“I had a couple arthroscopic surgeries, and they gave me some relief but I knew they were a BandAid,” Zielinski said. She is currently stationed in South Bend, Indiana, working for a TV production company, a job that requires her to travel frequently from city to city and also from site to site while working on a particular assignment.

“I was struggling to keep up with the crew from point to point,” she said.

“Last spring and summer, I knew I DR. CRAIG had to do something. [The pain] ASSENMACHER was affecting not only work, but also my personal life.” She found herself putting off simple errands like going to the grocery store because she didn’t want to go through the pain.

She began seeing Dr. Dennis Assenmacher, who operates Assenmacher Orthopaedics with his sons, Drs. Joseph and Craig Assenmacher out of locations at ProMedica Bay Park Hospital and ProMedica Wildwood Orthopaedic and Spine Hospital. She tried SynviscOne shots, meant to provide up to six months of osteoarthritic pain relief by lubricating knee joints. The injection was successful on her right knee, but largely ineffective in her left knee.

Dennis Assenmacher referred her in October 2014 to his son, Craig Assenmacher. After seeing him, she discovered she had no cartilage remaining between her upper and lower knee bone plates in the left knee, nor was her ACL tendon intact.

“He wasn’t sure how I was working,” Zielinski said.

Although her left knee was in far worse shape than the right, Craig Assenmacher told her both knees would be candidates for joint replacement surgery. The surgeries could be performed three days apart, putting her in the hospital for about one week.

Although it would be her first hospital surgery experience, Zielinski decided to go for it.

“My schedule is very complicated,” she said. “I wanted one-stop shopping. I wanted to do rehab for both at the same time.”

She had the complete knee replacement surgeries Jan. 27 and 30 at ProMedica Bay Park Hospital.

Assenmacher, who also performs hip-replacement surgeries, said Zielinski’s understanding of the procedure and her willingness to get back a part of her life she had lost made her an ideal candidate for joint replacement surgery.

“The main reason we do joint replacement is to try to keep them active and even improve their ability to maintain an active lifestyle,” he said.

“Usually by the time patients have come to me, they have tried injections, steroids, lifestyle modifications such as weight loss, braces, cane, walker and physical therapy,” Assenmacher said. He said he advocates patients trying a number of nonoperative measures before considering joint replacement surgery.

Obesity is often the single largest factor in the need for joint replacement operations, he said.

“Most of our epidemic in this region is larger patients,” he said. “It’s a simple biomechanical thing — [more weight, more wear]. … “My whole thing is always ‘intake/output.’ Count your calories. Try to burn more than you take in, but that’s not easy for a lot of people.”

Unfortunately, for those carrying extra weight and suffering from arthritis, exercise is not easy.

“If someone comes in and they have horrible arthritis and they’re a larger patient, it’s highly unlikely they’re going to lose weight,” Assenmacher said.

He prefers to perform surgery on patients with a body mass index of 40 or below.

While the target range of joint replacement patients is in patients 50 to 70 years of age, Assenmacher has performed one on an 87-year-old woman.

“Most patients say they wish they would have done it earlier,” he said of those on the upper reaches of that age range. Most knee replacements will last 20-25 years, depending on how active the patient is. Innovations with the plastic used in the knees are extending that timeframe, he said.

Zielinski is pleased she opted for the surgeries when she did.

“Recovery has been so smooth and almost seamless,” she said seven weeks after the surgeries. “I’m delighted I did it and delighted I did both at once. It was not easy to spend five days in the

hospital. Now that it’s done, I’m very, very happy I don’t have to go back.”

One month after surgery, she was walking around without assistance.

After five weeks, she was back to work.

“I’m very aware I don’t have any of the arthritic pain in my right knee,” she said. “Not that I’m completely pain-free — I can feel [soreness] when

I get up in morning.” She is able to manage the pain with Tylenol.

Zielinski is not shy about crediting her doctor for any success she’s experienced with her new knees.

“I’m really very pleased with the experience,” she said. “I just feel he’s an extremely competent, reflective surgeon.”

Assenmacher’s goal is for his pa-

tients to make the decision that is best for them and their life.

“I usually give them the pros and cons, and the percentages of what the risks are with surgery and say ‘You have to make an informed decision,’” he said.

“The patient should feel comfortable with their surgeon and be able to discuss what they want.” O

Dementia — Knowing when to ‘make the move’

By Joel Sensenig

Toledo Free Press Managing Editor jsensenig@toledofreepress.com

Among the battles faced by families with a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia is deciding if and when to take them out of their own home to a facility.

In March, Alzheimer’s expert Susan Scanland visited Senior Star at West Park Place Toledo to present a seminar titled, “Seniors: When to Make the Move.” Scanland has given more than 500 such seminars on Alzheimer’s and dementia in more than 40 states during her 30-plus year nursing career. She currently consults at a long-term care center in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where she evaluates residents and can make recommendations for the medical and nursing staff.

There are a number of reasons it’s hard for both the patient and family to make the move from the home to a care center, Scanland said.

“No. 1 I think is the hesitancy to leave one’s homestead, where one’s been for many years,” she said. “No. 2 is often the negative stereotype of community senior living. … Many families fear they are institution-like.”

Scanland said many places offer the chance for a couple to stay under the same roof while receiving the needed care for the partner with Alzheimer’s.

“Very often there are so many emotions when an older person has to

put their loved one in a nursing home because they can’t take care of them,” she said. “But they can live together, and contract to bring private-duty nurses in. So a couple can be more independent longer and live together longer than if they were at home.”

The third reason it’s hard to move a loved one into a care center could actually be highest on the list for many families, Scanland said.

“Guilt is a huge emotion when it comes to placement,” she said. “So many families have told me that this is the hardest decision they ever had to make in SCANLAND their lives. The problem is, often they’re making it without adequate information. …

Often too, there are disagreements between adult children about what to do about mom and dad because there’s a lack of information.”

In her Toledo talk, Scanland said her purpose was simple — to educate about existing options.

“There are reasons why home sweet home may not be as safe or as wise a choice as they think it is,” she said.

Scanland identifies seven areas to consider when determining if it’s indeed time to “make the move” or “kiss the guilt goodbye.”

O Pedestrian and driving risks: Even persons with mild dementia are more likely to make decisions that can result in them getting hit by a vehicle, Scanland said.

“Having fender benders [and] getting lost while driving are huge red flags,” she said.

O Nutrition and hydration: Scanland did house calls on dementia patients for years and would often find freezers full of ice cream and other junk food, but no vegetables. Older people often lose their sense of thirst and don’t get enough to drink, she said.

O Medication mix-ups: People over 65 are four times more likely to have reactions to medications than younger people, Scanland said. Dementia patients are more likely to confuse medications — blood pressure and diabetes drug mix-ups can be particularly dangerous, she said.

O Falls: “Often older people think it’s OK if they fall,” Scanland said. “It’s not OK that they fall.” Falls contribute to 16,000 deaths in the elderly each year, she said. One out of three people over the age of 65 are at risk for falling, while half are at risk if over 80 years old, she said. She has seen many cases where dementia patients were lying on the floor for one to two days after falling.

O Elopement (walking/driving away from home): 75 percent of dementia patients wander from their home at least once, Scanland said.

O Isolation/loneliness: People who

get depressed after the age of 65 are at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s, Scanland said.

“Just because you have dementia, sitting in front of the TV all day with no social interaction and no people — it’s not good for the brain,” she said.

O Financial exploitation: Scanland called it a “silent epidemic,” pointing out studies that suggest four or five unreported cases of elderly scams go along with each one that is reported.

Kirsten Pickle, executive director of West Park Place, said the presentation on the seven areas to consider was well received by both seniors and their families.

“I think those things are important because nobody wants to leave their home, but it’s also hard to be objective on reasons why you should,” Pickle said. She pointed out statistics suggesting 80 percent of people over the

age of 85 have some form of dementia, even if just mild cases.

“The most important thing that people need to understand is to move them earlier,” Pickle said. “The earlier the move, the easier it is on the senior and the more successful they will be in their new surroundings. … If they move here earlier, they’re usually able to stay here a lot later because they’re settled in so well.

If you wait too long, your loved one usually ends up in a nursing home.”

Scanland said she tries to replace confusion with information.

“When you look at the facts and gather information, it does take a lot of the guilt out of the equation because then the whole shift can be an incredibly positive experience,” she said.

Music helps dementia patients connect with memories

By Brian Bohnert

TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

It’s no secret that music has a connection to personal memories.

Just one song has the power to call up vivid recollections of everything

from that first kiss under the stars to that one late-summer road trip spent racking up miles down Interstate 75.

In an effort to enable those suffering from cognitive diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia to reconnect with the world through memories triggered by their favorite songs, several

local nursing homes are implementing the Music & Memory program.

Founded in 2010 by Dan Cohen, Music & Memory is a nonprofit organization that provides personalized music to the elderly through digital music platforms in order to improve their overall quality of life.

The organization teaches nursing home staff, as well as family caregivers, how to create personalized playlists for residents on digital music devices like iPods.

“Short-term memory may be compromised, but one’s emotional system is still very much intact,” Cohen said.

“When we love a song, it’s the connection with our emotions — not cognition — that we respond to. Hence, this is the backdoor to one’s cognition, to the parts of the brain (and ourselves) that are still functional.”

Music & Memory was born out of a simple idea: Someday, if Cohen were to end up in a nursing home, he would want to be able to listen to his favorite 1960s music.

While building upon his idea in 2006, Cohen could not find any of the nation’s 16,000 nursing homes were using iPods with their residents.

“Music means so much to everyone’s lives,” said Katie Gulgin, administrator with Otterbein Senior Lifestyle Choices. “One song to me may not mean the same thing (as it does) to another person. It’s about finding those songs that mean something special to someone.”

According to the Music & Memory website, songs associated with important personal events can trigger memory of the physical experience connected to the music. As a result, the music can often calm “chaotic brain activity” and enable the listener to “focus on the present moment and regain a connection to others.”

Each of Otterbein’s locations throughout Ohio — including its Perrysburg and Monclova communities — completed Music & Memory certification training as of March 5.

The Perrysburg site, located at 3529 Rivers Edge Drive, has already begun testing the effects of Music & Memory on one of its residents.

Gulgin said the resident — a woman who suffers from “severe dementia” — has communication limitations but has become more vocal and responsive since beginning the therapy.

“It’s something her son puts on for her,” she said. “When she’s feeling agitated, it calms her down.”

Gulgin said Otterbein is still trying to work out how each of the individual facilities is going to implement Music & Memory into its activity regimen.

“We should have a good portion of our facilities using the program by midyear,” Gulgin said.

Administrators with Foundation Park Alzheimer’s Care Center completed their Music & Memory training in March and are preparing to train the rest of the staff in the coming weeks.

Kathy Kuhlman, social service director with Foundation Park, said the facility currently only has 10 iPods, but is seeking donations to help obtain a music player for each of the 125 residents in the extended-care facility.

“We want to expand access to activities for residents who are normally unable to take part in (traditional) activities while, at the same time, decreasing negative behaviors and mood outbreaks,” Kuhlman said.

Kuhlman said Foundation Park has already decided which residents will receive the first 10 iPods and staff is in the process of contacting residents’ loved ones to obtain information about their favorite music.

Toledo Stories

Live storytelling events, archival projects gaining ground in Glass City.

By Ross Lockhart Toledo Free Press Staff Writer star@toledofreepress.com

O

ver the past few months, Toledo has started to open up and share its stories.

Taking cues from public radio programs and podcasts like “The Moth,” “This American Life” and StoryCorps, creative residents of Toledo have begun establishing their own live storytelling events — opportunities for people in the community to congregate, converse and connect through shared experiences.

Organizers say the aim is to gain glimpses into the lives of others, creating a unique emotional experience for storytellers and audiences alike.

Glass City Stories

Inspired by live “Moth” storytelling events she attended while living in Chicago, Glass City Stories founder Maggie Dziubek said her program is based on making storytelling fun.

“I want to keep it accessible to everyone,” Dziubek said. “People can be a part of it without having some kind of qualification as a storyteller.”

Held once a month at The Moxie on Adams Street, each Glass City Stories event is based around a theme.

The inaugural Glass City Stories took place on Valentine’s Day with a theme of New Love. On March 13, the theme was Good Luck/Bad Luck and an April Fools event is set for 7 p.m. April 16.

Dziubek said the best moments are the most unexpected.

“We’re always up for spontaneous storytelling,” she said. “It’s really exciting when someone takes a leap of faith and tells a story off the cuff.”

Dziubek, a Toledo Free Press contributor, said she sees the rising popularity of storytelling as an important development for Toledo, offering new creative and social opportunities for the city.

“It’s different from your usual night out,” she said. “There’s a real sense of intimacy because it’s people sharing something about themselves.

That vulnerability makes it unique.”

and Event Center. Co-creator Ryan Bunch said he is pleased with how the evening went.

“People really opened up and got into the spirit of things,” he said. “Some of the speakers I had known for years, but hadn’t heard their stories.”

The program featured four guest speakers and six volunteers, all sharing stories loosely based on “beginnings and endings.”

Attendees were treated to stories of first heartbreak, journeys to new places and disastrous hair-dye jobs.

Bunch said another edition of Spoken is in the works.

“If not this summer, definitely in the fall,” he said. “The great thing about these events is that they don’t need to be too overthought or gran-

diose. Keeping the focus on the people and their stories will always make it fun.”

All proceeds from Spoken go directly toward programming at BUNCH the Ohio Theatre, and Bunch encourages anyone with an idea to get involved.

“We welcome any support we can get,” he said. “It’s inspiring for me to see people come together. I hope people continue to support the space so we can put on more events for the community.” n STORIES CONTINUES ON 16

Frogtown Storytelling Guild

‘‘

Founded in 1994, the Frogtown Storytelling Guild is Toledo’s oldest collective of storytellers, dedicated to perfecting and preserving the ancient art of storytelling.

The group meets every second Saturday at Reynolds Corners Branch of the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library.

Member Tari Miller said anyone interested is welcome.

“We are open to people of all walks of life,” she said. “You can come listen to our members or practice telling a story of your own.” A retired educator, Miller joined the guild in 2004 after reading a call for story enthusiasts in the paper.

“My heart dropped when I read that,” she said. “I had found a marvelous group of people that loved stories. It was exactly what I needed.”

Once a year, the guild partners with the National Storytelling Network to put on Tellabration!, a largescale event bringing in guest storytellers from around the country. Miller said events like this keep the tradition of storytelling alive.

“Something happens when you share a story face to face,” she said. “Being able to take someone on a journey where they never expected to go. What’s more powerful than that?”

419 Tales

In addition to live events, creators are looking to showcase Toledo’s stories using other mediums as well. 419 Tales is an upcoming podcast series dedicated to exploring and archiving the city’s oral histories, featuring personal interviews as well as candid recordings from community happenings. Creator Silke Goudos, who was a recent finalist for a Toledo SOUP microgrant, said her goal is to inspire curiosity in the everyday.

“I’m interested in the town I live in,” she said. “We’ve got a lot going on here. I want to fight apathy toward Toledo.”

Goudos is currently running a GoFundMe campaign to fund professional audio equipment to produce the podcast, which she hopes to launch in the next two to three months.

She said programs like hers will always be in demand.

“Storytelling is how we preserve history,” she said. “It’s an art form that stimulates conversation and allows us to connect with others, something that we are craving nowadays.”

Tribute to Toledoans

Utilizing moving pictures to capture the city’s stories, Tribute to Toledoans is an ongoing video series produced by Charles Boyk Law Offices. Videographer Josh Nagel said the videos are a way to highlight the positive aspects of the city and bring stories of exceptional residents before the public eye.

“When I was a kid, Toledo was the go-to place,” he said. “It’s still that go-to place. This is our way of showing what Toledo is all about.”

The short, documentary-style pieces feature interviews with people who have impacted the community in different ways. Nagel said the series has received overwhelming positive feedback, and he is proud to see the city beginning to recognize its storytellers.

“It’s getting people excited about Toledo again,” he said.

“We have so many great things that we often overlook. These events change the way people feel about being Toledoans.”

With so many projects popping up at once, Toledo is quickly gaining acceptance into a much larger creative network of storytelling. Dave Sabol, founder of Clevelandbased storytelling event Told, said it’s exciting to see more cities embrace the art form. “As humans we have an innate ability to tell stories,” he said. “We are forming a community of storytellers. It’s something that won’t go away.” O

Drawbridge

By Ashley McMahon Toledo Free Press Staff Writer star@toledofreepress.com

Rudolph Schroeder is living proof that it’s never too late to pursue one’s passion.

The 84-year-old turned his lifelong passion for art into a second career.

Schroeder has had artwork displayed in the White House and at Ellis Island.

Now, he’s hoping his rendering of a wellknown Northwest Ohio bridge will generate more attention for the region.

After the end of his career as a textile engineer, Schroeder entered retirement and began focusing on his art, which before retirement had simply been a hobby.

About 30 years ago, he started drawing with pen, often rendering the tall ships he recalled from the “swashbuckling” pirate films he loved watching as a child.

His most acclaimed moment as an artist occurred in 2000 when Schroeder created a piece using his favorite technique of starting with a base of acrylic paint and finishing with details using pen and ink. The patriotic piece, titled “History and Peace in the Millennium,” shows the Statue of Liberty alongside an American flag and a tall ship.

“It did very well because it was timely and people cared. They were

really drawn to it,” Schroeder said.

It received attention from around the country and was displayed in the White House during President Bill Clinton’s time in office. The former president sent Schroeder a thank you letter after receiving a signed copy.

The piece was also displayed on Liberty Island, New York, for visitors of the Statue of Liberty to view. It later received Best in Show honors at the 2000 Marine City Art Fair in Michigan.

Schroeder found new inspiration recently in the Interurban Bridge, which spans the Maumee River beside the Roche de Bout landmark in Waterville.

The spot was used as a meeting place by Native American tribes in the 1700s.

According to the Ohio Historical Society, the bridge was constructed in 1908 by the National Bridge Company of Indianapolis. It’s also referred to as the Ohio Electric Railroad Bridge and was designed with steel-reinforced concrete filled with dirt and mud.

He created a rendition of the bridge using his acrylic, pen and ink technique. Now he plans to sell prints of the painting, and hopes to bring more business to local frame companies and art studios.

“A lot of artists do a picture and they put it up with a price tag,” he said. “The difference with me is I make something
