Let Bell sell

oledo Mayor Mike Bell is carving a legacy directly between his two most recent predecessors, but City Council is throwing obstacles in his way like a bunch of mindless videogame zombies.

Former mayor Jack Ford was known for his laid-back approach while former mayor Carty Finkbeiner was known for his hands-on approach. Those descriptions may fall short of the extremes each man displayed, but no matter how wide the range of styles, the moderate Bell is inarguably operating in a more palatable zone.

Two recent Bell actions go a long way toward defining his administration. Bell’s continued courting of Chinese investors to bring life to the waterfront is a savvy business move that may one day be looked upon as his greatest legacy. If there is indeed a time when The Docks and the Marina District finally cash in on the potential and promise of the Toledo waterfront, Bell’s trip to China and his subsequent cultivation of investment dollars will be cast as an historic moment.

If nothing comes of the investment?

Then Bell will be remembered as a mayor Thomas F. Pounds who gave the waterfront an opportunity, a man who facilitated an opportunity and provided an atmosphere for investment. The foot-dragging and stalling from City Council, in the face of a group that is not asking for any city breaks or favors, illustrates why Toledo fades and slips while other areas invest and grow. Due diligence is one thing; obstructionist behavior is reckless.

Some on Council say they are troubled by the details of the deal, especially the city’s asking price in relation to the costs of a generation of maintenance. But as any businessperson (or Realtor) will tell you, a good, service or piece of land is only worth what the market will bear.

It’s well past time for some Downtown development “Hail Mary” plays, and Bell and his team seem to understand that.

The other notable action is Bell’s push for a lobbyist to represent Toledo in Columbus. Toledo Finance Director Patrick McLean advocated for the idea, based on his observations and experience in Columbus. It is a controversial move in a time of budget cuts and fiscal pain, but again, the move shows the Bell administration’s efforts to try new approaches to old problems. We now have to trust that once in Columbus, the lobbyist will be accessible to hear Toledo’s business and social concerns as he or she works on making sure Toledo receives its fair share of attention from state government.

Turning around the city’s fortunes is a massive effort. It will take years to see the payoff. We can see what a wise investment Fifth Third Field and the Huntington Center were; Council needs to consider the long-term benefits of letting Bell make some brave moves. O Thomas F.

Letter to the Editor

Protecting children: Everyone’s responsibility Red Cross volunteers

W

e have come around once again to Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Each year at this time we pause to remember the children our community has lost to abuse, neglect and senseless violence. We also use the occasion to remind ourselves — and each other — that child abuse can and should be prevented.

We have an obligation to watch out for the parents and children in our lives. By caring for each other and helping parents in need, we create a safety net that protects children from becoming Dean unfortunate victims, whether it’s of conscious abuse or pure neglect.

Of the children we will remember at our agency’s annual Child Memorial on April 29, none were lost to physical abuse. That’s important, and encouraging. However, it’s not realistic to believe we have ended child abuse in our community. Instead, perhaps this is a signal that we are becoming more aware of the price we all pay when we allow child abuse to occur.

In 2010, Lucas County Children Services (LCCS) received nearly 4,500 calls of suspected maltreatment involving 6,500 children. Almost half of the calls were for physical abuse. Of all of the children who were confirmed victims

of physical, emotional or sexual abuse or neglect, nearly half of them were five years old or younger — our most vulnerable victims. While abuse occurred throughout the county, it was most likely to occur in neighborhoods that experience a number of social problems. Our community must support programs and services that help parents be good, safe parents. We need to make sure that quality day care and medical care are accessible to them, and that parenting classes are available for those who need them. But most of all, we have to SPARKS make sure our young parents are connected to family, friends and neighbors.

Those “kin” are the ones that teach young parents to make good decisions and handle tough situations, and when things get rough, wrap their loving arms around them.

Lucas County has been fortunate to have great family resources in our neighborhoods — community centers, Help Me Grow, health clinics and houses of worship. If you know of a parent who is having trouble caring for his or her children or keeping them safe, call us.

We can work with that family and connect them with resources that can point them in the right direction. But you must be strong,

first, and be willing to make the call.

Our community has experienced tragedy.

We lost three children to drowning last year, and two teens died due to senseless street violence. The three drowning victims were very, very young, ranging from less than a year old to just 3 years old. Each of these children drowned under very different circumstances, but their deaths are equally tragic. The two young men who died lived in different parts of town, but both succumbed to random shootings that are part of everyday life for too many residents of our community. Their deaths remind us that we need to keep our children close, no matter how old they are.

Every April, as we remember the children we’ve lost during the past year, I hope and pray that we don’t have to gather together the following year to memorialize even more young victims. Let us all recommit to making Lucas County a safe place for children and a community that supports strong families.

LCCS hosts its annual Child Memorial on April 29 at 11:30 a.m. at its offices, 705 Adams St. in Downtown Toledo. The community is urged to attend. Report child abuse 24/7 at (419) 2132273. You can remain anonymous. O Dean Sparks is executive director of Lucas County Children Services.

are people in action

National Volunteer Week, April 10-16, is a time to celebrate Toledo-area volunteers. This year’s theme, “Celebrating People in Action,” aptly describes our volunteers.

Red Cross volunteers are people in action. Our chapter has more than 1,000 volunteers from all walks of life. They come together with a common purpose — to provide relief to victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies.

Red Cross volunteers are always ready to turn compassion into action and help people down the street, across the nation and around the world. They teach lifesaving safety courses such as first aid, CPR, babysitting and care giving. Volunteers serve veterans, members of the military and their families; work at blood drives; respond to large and small disasters; and provide international tracing services.

During National Volunteer Week, the Greater Toledo Area Chapter wants to thank each volunteer. We take this time to recognize the selfless gifts of time, money and blood the Red Cross has received from the citizens of Lucas, Wood and Ottawa Counties.

National Volunteer Week is also a time to invite you to join us. If you are not a volunteer, give the Red Cross a try. Right now we especially need people who are interested in becoming a first aid and CPR instructor or a Disaster Services volunteer responder. To volunteer, contact Diane S. Dixon at (419) 329-2741.

TECHNOLOGY

By Jason Mack

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Local technology company TechTol Imaging is developing a free educational website with 3-D images.

“We’re taking teaching aids in a classroom and imaging them so they’re available for any student in any school at anytime with an internet connection,” said Zak Ward, vice president of visual operations at TechTol Imaging. “They are able to study stuff at home they wouldn’t be able to take out of a classroom.”

The website 3DTOAD.com features 3-D images in categories such as anatomy dissections, computer networking, dental hygiene, geology, skeletons and yoga. The name 3DTOAD. com comes from an anagram meaning TechTol’s Online Academic Database.

TechTol is succeeding under a system the company claims is the “first — and only — in the world that instantly captures and then creates 3-D rotational images for use with any computer-based system.” The system is faster and more cost-effective than any other, with the ability to upload an object in the studio as a 3-D image in under a minute. This is achieved using a circular studio with 16 cameras shooting simultaneously.

For the short term, the main objective of 3DTOAD.com is to continue adding images to the website to build a foundation.

“Once it gets big enough, we can divide it by different education levels, but we have to have enough stuff to justify that,” Ward said. “This is an ongoing development. We’re adding a whole bunch of stuff and trying to get input from teachers.”

Along with input, the company is also looking for objects to image for the website.

“We have a couple different fossil collectors in town donating their items to be imaged,” Ward said. “If someone had a butterfly collection, that’s something we’d like to hook up with. A person who is home-schooled will never see a butterfly collection except for 2-D images in a book. With

this technology, they can explore.”

While it is still in development, the website is available now. Ward said TechTol plans to have a soft launch in the summer and hopes to be fully operational by the next school year.

“This can be used anywhere in the world,” Ward said. “It’s wide open.

I would love to see it be successful enough to be a national or international website.”

The company is located at the Toledo campus of Owens Community College, but it is in discussions with Bowling Green State University and is looking to get involved with other institutions.

The website is not just for universities. Ward sees it as an asset for any school struggling with its budget.

“There’s so much negativity when you talk about education,” Ward said.

“Here is a unique thing with a local

DIVERSE INNO VA TIVE

company using their technology to hopefully better education, not to mention it’s free. This has the potential to revolutionize interactive education and distance education.”

TechTol is designing a mobile application for the website and is creating interactive lessons using the technology.

“For K-12 schools, this could be a real asset to their budget,” Brenda Leady said. “I’d hope they’d have some basic models and materials. Then this program would add to the depth and breadth of what the students use.”

Leady is a lab coordinator for biological sciences at the University of Toledo and sees potential for the technology at the college level. However, she knows there is no replacement for hands-on experience.

“This could provide a great supplement to a traditional lab,” Leady said.

“However, labs are about touching, feeling, smelling and seeing the actual objects,” she said. “A completely online experience can’t provide that. As an example, a plastic bone replica and a human bone can look exactly alike, but as soon as you touch it you feel the immediate difference.”

Ward agrees with Leady’s assessment, but he still sees the website as a valuable asset.

“In a classroom, when someone passes around a fossil you get the ability to touch it and make more of an emotional connection,” Ward said. “In a school system that does not have a budget for geology or other programs, this is the next best thing.”

The website offers an added dimension with the option of viewing a 3-D anaglyph version of every image using the standard red and blue 3-D glasses.

Ward said the website offers benefits to education in what he calls the before, during and after stages.

“Before, you can prepare students with a preview of subjects coming up for discussion,” he said. “During, you can ask questions in class and have students interact with the images.

After, you have the ability to open discussion with your family and show them what you did in school with things you normally wouldn’t be able to take home. Hopefully the learning process gets extended to home.” O

Red Cross to give away free smoke, carbon monoxide detectors April 18

By Emily B. Gibb

Toledo Free Press News Editor egibb@toledofreepress.com

The Greater Toledo Area Chapter of the American Red Cross will provide free carbon monoxide and smoke detectors from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 18 in the American Red Cross parking lot, 3100 W. Central Ave. Each household is eligible to receive one smoke detector and one carbon monoxide detector after filling out a simple release form.

Supplies will be given out on a first-

come, first-serve basis, said Sheri Meeker, spokeswoman for the American Red Cross.

The giveaway was inspired by the deaths of Tamara McDaniel and her three children, who were killed by carbon monoxide given off by a generator in their home last month, Meeker said.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 200 people in the United States die every year from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by fuel-burning appliances, such as furnaces, water

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Young professionals group grooms rookies for the big time

By Emily B. Gibb

Toledo Free Press News Editor egibb@toledofreepress.com

Four years ago, a group of individuals were looking for a way to attract and retain Toledo’s young professionals while connecting them to senior community leaders. They wanted to combat the “brain drain” of Northwest Ohio.

Through brainstorming and planning, plus support from the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce, they formed EPIC — Engaging People, Inspiring Change — in 2007.

“People live in a community because it’s work, live and play, and we’re trying to be able to get them adapted to all three aspects COUSINO of their life,” said EPIC Toledo director Paulette Cousino. “That’s what makes young professionals stay in a region and that’s why we were formed — because people weren’t staying in this region.”

In conjunction with celebrating their recent four-year anniversary, EPIC leaders and corporate partners evaluated where they are now and what goals they are still working toward.

“If you look at our corporate member list, it reads like the who’s

who of Toledo and it’s really great to have that kind of support behind our organization. We wouldn’t be able to do it without them,” said Brian Niedzwiecki, 2011 EPIC chairman.

EPIC adapted its direction to focus more closely on the three core values, or main pillars, of the organization that its corporate and individual members have come to expect: leadership and professional development, community impact and networking.

“Over the course of the years, there have been a number of events we have done to help accomplish those goals of getting people connected to each other, to the area, to business leaders; to help foster the next generation of leaders in this area,” Niedzwiecki said.

EPIC’s corporate members provide the base for bringing in individual members but membership also spreads by word of mouth, Amanda Geletka said. EPIC has grown to include 1,200 members.

“We’re pulling them in from all different kinds of industries and walks of life,” Geletka said.

As the membership and marketing chair, it’s her job to help plan the quarterly mixers — an easy task with important consequences, she said. At the mixers, they have about an hour to sum up for potential members what EPIC does while giving them that “feel-good feeling.”

“It’s just the energy that’s in the room when you walk in. It’s the stories

that you hear and the different relationships you make in just under an hour” that make people want to join, she said.

While the membership has grown much faster than Vice Chair Stephanie Cousino expected, a strong bond has formed from the passion everyone has for seeing Toledo become more successful, she said.

High interest in EPIC began at its first event at the Erie Street Market in 2007. Niedzwiecki said he passed a billboard advertising “a new group called EPIC” every day while driving to work and decided he would check it out.

“I was floored by the hundreds of people that turned out for it. The energy that was in the room just blew me away,” he said.

Niedzwiecki said everyone comes to EPIC for something slightly different and there are many different ways to stay active without an overwhelming pressure to be involved.

EPIC Communications Coordinator Samantha Scott was “tossed into” EPIC in the beginning because she works for the Chamber of Commerce, but recently said that it was the best thing that could have happened to her on a professional level.

“I’ve learned how to conduct myself, how to lead meetings and how to be a better businesswoman,” Scott said.

She said her connections rapidly grew from about 50 people to about 2,000 people she can reach out to.

“I’ve been a lifer in Toledo and you

think you know everyone, but you don’t,” she said.

Community Impact Co-chair Jeff Schaaf joined in 2008 because of a friend and also discovered many things about Toledo he didn’t know, despite also being a “lifer.”

“There’s not an easy way to get involved [in Toledo],” Schaaf said.

“EPIC makes it easy.”

It’s that accessibility to senior

leaders and younger employees that makes EPIC unique, Niedzwiecki said.

“It takes away some of the fear of the boardroom when you have that opportunity to interact,” he said. “It’s that kind of personal connection that you don’t get in bigger cities.” O

STORMING BACK

Casey ready to enjoy Lake prom

Editor’s note: Toledo Free Press will follow the Blank family of Millbury for one year as they rebuild their lives after the June 5 tornado destroyed their Main Street home.

By Brandi Barhite Toledo Free Press Associate Editor bbarhite@toledofreepress.com

Lake High School sophomore Casey Blank is looking forward to attending his first prom ever. He is also looking forward to eating a meal at a restaurant known for its hibachistyle dining and foodthrowing chefs.

On April 29, Nagoya Japanese Steakhouse and BLANK Sushi will provide dinner for 220 students as well as several staff members and chaperones. After dinner, students will walk to the nearby Hilton Inn at Levis Commons, which is hosting the dance in the main ballroom.

Nagoya owner Mel Ayers said his restaurant and the Hilton want to pro-

vide the students with an unforgettable experience, as well as a little bit of normalcy on what should always be a special day. Lake students lost their school to the June 5 tornado.

“Many of the families are feeling the personal financial effects of the disaster as well as the current economy,” Ayers said in an email. “Knowing that we need to continue supporting these kids long term, we reached out to the school last year with the idea of hosting prom and it was immediately embraced by the students, staff and the community.”

Junior Kayleigh Tomanski asked Casey to the prom, which is usually at a local banhall. Tickets only FAMILY: quet cost $10 per person this year as opposed to $50 because of the donated meal and ballroom. The $10 will go toward next year’s prom, according to Tammy Tapley, director of student activities.

“We are going as friends,” Kayleigh said about Casey. “We are just good friends. We were talking

back

about it and I asked him.”

She is looking forward to trying Nagoya with her classmates. The dinner times will be staggered to accommodate the large group.

“We eat at 6 p.m. and then we will go to the dance and then we will probably go to after-prom,” Kayleigh said.

“I haven’t ever been to Nagoya, so it is really exciting.”

After-prom will be at the Student Health and Activities Center at Owens instead of the high school where the activities were hosted last year.

Students attending prom will be allowed to leave school at 11 a.m. on the day of prom. Kayleigh’s hair appointment is at 2:30 p.m. She wants to look perfect in her black and gold dress.

Casey is wearing white and gold.

But no matter how she looks, she knows what is important in life. Kayleigh remembers the night she learned about Casey losing his house to the tornado. She thinks it changed him for the better. And she is honored to be his date.

“He seems like the same guy.

He always had that positive attitude through everything, but [the tornado] has made him stronger.” O

Can drive to benefit burn victims

An April 16 aluminum can collection will benefit children admitted to the burn unit at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center.

Collected cans will be donated to the Aluminum Cans for Burned Children of Northwest Ohio (ACBC), a nonprofit operated by Northwest Ohio firefighters and local businesses since 1990.

People can drop off cans from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the parking lot area off the Anthony Wayne Trail entrance to the Toledo Zoo as part of the 13th Annual Earth Day Aluminum Beverage Can Roundup.

Funds raised will go toward purchasing nonmedical items or services needed by the burn victims not typically covered by insurance, such as protective clothing that helps skin heal or bicycles that help exercise injured limbs.

Money is also used for burn prevention education programming and to send children to a regional summer camp for burn victims.

For more information, visit www.acbcnorthwestohio.org. O — Sarah Ottney

Church to host dental screenings A Toledo church will host a Dental Health Fair featuring free dental screenings from the Dental Center of Northwest Ohio. The inaugural event is set for noon to 3 p.m. April 16 at Warren AME Church, 915 Collingwood Blvd.

The screenings will be done on a first-come, first-serve basis. Each person screened will be advised of services they need and available clinic times at the Dental Center. The event is geared toward families and children, but anyone with Medicaid or limited to no access to dental care is welcome, said Darlene Sawyer, church youth activities director.

Dental Center staff will teach proper oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing, as well as address the importance of wearing mouth guards when playing sports and the dangers of piercings and using tobacco products, Sawyer said. The church will also host a health and nutrition fair April 30.

Both events were planned as part of a grant from the Ohio Commission on Minority Health. For more information, call the church at (419) 243-2237. O — Sarah Ottney

Advocacy firm helps patients navigate health care system TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER dramsey@toledofreepress.com

Ken Chisholm and Melinda Ciesielczyk created Compass Care Management in response to what they see as an increasing need for professional assistance among people navigating through a health care system that continues to get more complex.

“Health care is getting too big and complicated for many people to understand,” said Chisholm, president and CEO of the new patient advocacy firm that began operations April 1 in Oregon.

“People have a desire to be more informed but can’t always make objective nonemotional decisions when facing a medical crisis or condition.

They need someone to look out for their best interests and we focus on our clients to assure them we have their best interests in mind. If you can remove all of the stress from a patient’s

world, they’re going to heal a lot faster.”

Chisholm said people should realize that health care is changing, with a shift toward more money being spent by individuals for medical care and treatment.

“We’re here to see that they get it done in the most cost-effective way,” he said.

Compass Care Management offers a 10-minute telephone consultation at no cost to determine if it can help a patient. Next, the staff will conduct a formal needs assessment in person to identify the medical issues and set up a plan of action, Chisholm said.

“We will escort patients to medical appointments, help families understand the conditions and options for each patient, and coordinate all of the arrangements for medical care or treatments,” Chisholm said.

Patient advocacy services are not usually covered by health insurance and require private payment as one would pay an accountant or attorney.

However, costs for such services can be reimbursed through health savings or flexible spending accounts, said Ciesielczyk, vice president and chief operating officer for the company.

The cost for patient advocacy ranges nationally from $30 to $300 per hour for services ranging from minimal involvement to bedside advocates, Chisholm said.

“We’ll have access to the highest quality information available from professionals in the field and health system databases that doctors use,” he said.

With the ability to access limited and often erroneous information via the Internet, self-diagnosis can be dangerous, Ciesielczyk said. As patient advocates, Compass Care will provide clients with the most accurate and current information, helping them to make well-informed, “bestpractice decisions,” she said.

Chisholm emphasized the company will work with, not against,

PROFESSIONAL SKILLS INSTITUTE

health care providers to the mutual end of better quality and more efficient health care delivery, improved patient compliance and understanding and, ultimately, better outcomes.

Registered nurses will serve as actual patient advocates for Compass Care, Ciesielczyk said. Dr. Norman Zavela will serve as chief medical officer and Anthony Carollo as chief financial officer of the firm.

‘Mission in Motion’ initiative is taking ProMedica goals beyond hospital walls

By Barbara Lloyd Nelson TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

While ProMedica addresses the health needs of those within its facilities, various hospitals in its network have taken the stated mission “to improve your health and well-being” a step further by launching their own programs to give back to the entire community.

Mission in Motion, sponsored

by Bay Park Community Hospital, is one of those programs. Hospital staff at Bay Park took up this challenge by forming teams of volunteers for hands-on work in the community.

Partnering with Bridges Out of Poverty, Food for Thought, Little Sisters of the Poor and Oregon Health and Welfare, team members have prepared sandwiches and bagged meals for displaced people, prepared food baskets for families in need, painted a gazebo and continue to do whatever they can to help their chosen organizations.

On March 29, one Bay Park team moved its mission to Ronald McDonald House.

Anyone who lives outside of Toledo and has a child receiving medical treatment at a nearby medical

facility is invited to stay in the homelike accommodations of the Ronald McDonald House free of charge.

Families staying at the house are in the midst of a high-stress time as they try to spend as much time as possible with their critically ill children. Guests frequently return to the house at the end of the day physically and emotionally exhausted.

Rachel Williams, executive director of fund development at Bay Park, knows firsthand about the generous services at Ronald McDonald House. Some of her family who live in Fremont stayed there for two weeks while her twin nieces were in the neonatal intensive care unit at Toledo Children’s Hospital.

With this in mind, Williams volunteered to organize a team that would cook for guests of Ronald McDonald House. She and team members Teresa Fisher, Deb Crawford, Kelly Parks, Lisa Thetford, Jackie Cooper and Christina Stillwell have taken turns in planning a menu, purchasing food and preparing a meal there once a month since November. They hope to be able to cook more often as the team grows.

“The Mission in Motion program is just an extension of the care that ProMedica provides within its walls

each and every day,” Williams said.

“The impact may not be huge, but to families who have spent all day at the bedside of their sick or injured child, a hot meal to come ‘home’ to at Ronald McDonald House fills a basic need and sends a subtle message that someone cares and is there to support them. Each time we are there, family members thank us repeatedly and the volunteers at the house are always welcoming and helpful to us as well.”

Chad Bringman, executive director of Ronald McDonald House Charities, said Mission in Motion is a great partnership between Ronald McDonald House and ProMedica.

“We serve 400 to 500 families a year,” Bringman said. “These families are oftentimes ProMedica families and Ronald McDonald House families at the same time. It is a great way to promote volunteerism in the community and a great way for employees to see some of the amazing things happening daily in our community.”

Williams said working with Mission in Motion helps keep her personal struggles in perspective.

“There is so much need in our communities and to be able to provide some assistance where it is needed is not only helpful but, in my opinion, required for the overall well-being of

our fellow citizens and neighbors,” Williams said. “Sometimes after a busy day at work, I pick up my child at day care, and grumble to myself while rushing to help prepare a meal at Ronald McDonald House. All of this frustration melts away once I arrive and remember what the families staying there are facing. Mission in Motion keeps my life in perspective.

We never know when it will be us who needs a hand, so this is just a good opportunity to pay it forward.” O

Sense of the senseless

T

he other day, I was invited to speak to a group of BGSU students, on “holy” living. One does not get that request often, especially from the 20-something crowd.

So I sat down with them over dinner and listened to them share their stories, talk about their classes, and gnash their teeth over the voluminous amount of work that lay before them as their semester winds down. Then the leader of the group suggested it was time for the conversation on holy living. We sat in a circle. There was an awkward silence broken by a student who wanted to talk about something else, something more immediate.

The previous Friday, a young man came to the aid of a woman being harassed by three men. Without warning the four of them immediately pummeled the would-be Good Samaritan, critically injuring him.

All of this happened between the administration building and the Trinity Church building (where I work) on Court Street early Saturday morning.

The young student who raised the issue wanted to know what could be done about this? Another student expressed his anger over the fact that this was random and brutal and done for no other reason than to be violent. Other students wondered about witnesses. “There had to be witnesses, why didn’t any come to his aid?” It became clear that the topic I was assigned to discuss wasn’t going to be the topic we would discuss. Holy living got displaced by a profane act of senseless violence.

I listened as the group struggled to make some sense of the senseless.

The discussion went down several tracks. There was the usual conversation about violence in America.

Several suggested that the fixation on individualism in our culture makes it easier to devalue people we do not know. Given what happened to the young man seeking to do a good and noble thing, some raised a concern about the wisdom of helping others in need. n McGLADE CONTINUES ON A17

Food for Thought is partnering with the East Toledo Family Center to host a free event for the community during Easter Weekend, including an Easter egg hunt, face painting and more.

The inaugural event, called Spread the Love, will kick off at 9 a.m. April 23 at the East Toledo Family Center, 1020 Varland Ave., with a presentation from Jim Basketball Jones, a youth motivational speaker and basketball showman, said Food for Thought Executive Director Amanda Aldrich.

“He should be pretty entertaining for the kids,” Aldrich said.

Breakfast will be served from 10 to 11 a.m., followed by a performance by local country musician Scott Ballard.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich sack lunches will be served for lunch.

Groceries from the mobile pantry will be available to families who bring photo IDs and social security cards for all dependents.

Food for Thought is a ministry based out of New Harvest Christian Church in Oregon. The group gives away sack lunches at the Main Library in Down-

town Toledo every Saturday morning.

“We have developed a sense of community Downtown through our sack lunches and partnerships and we thought this was a good chance to outreach with another part of Toledo,” Aldrich said. “Our whole purpose for this event is to create a sense of community and to eliminate the gap between poverty and prosperity. One really great

way to do that is to come together and celebrate and eat. The point is not necessarily the handing out of items, but getting to know the community and your neighbors and working together to better serve those in need.”

Food for Thought is still looking for volunteers. For more information or to volunteer, email volunteer@ freelunchtoledo.com. O

Oregon churches offer joint services for Holy Week

By Sarah Ottney

Toledo Free Press Special Sections Editor sottney@toledofreepress.com

A series of joint Holy Week services are planned in Oregon thanks to a unique and thriving partnership among 10 area churches.

This is the third year the churches

have teamed up for Holy Week, which runs from Palm Sunday on April 17 to Easter Sunday on April 24, said Mike Przybylski, senior pastor at New Harvest Christian Church. Participation in the services has grown every year.

“I know some churches that did Ash Wednesday together like we did,

but I don’t know anybody who’s really doing what we’re doing for the whole week,” Przybylski said. “We’re not doing it to do something really cool. It’s just something that’s grown out of us.”

odist, Episcopalian, Assembly of God, Nazarene and nondenominational — call themselves the Oregon Area Pastor’s Fellowship and meet once a month at an area restaurant, said Brandon Williams, lead pastor of Hope Community Church. The group has been meeting for about six years.

“We kind of set the attitude that there’s no use in all of us doing the exact same things on our own, so we look for opportunities to share,” Williams said. “Mike’s church at New Harvest has Food for Thought so instead of every church in Oregon trying to have their own food pantry, why not team up to support one? And that goes for lots of things.

Does every church have to have every type of support group or every activity? A lot of it is we just try to keep each other informed about what’s going on in our churches and let others get involved.”

The Holy Week services are the group’s largest and most public collaborations of the year, but the churches work together year-round, Przybylski said.

“We became friend with each other and that competition goes out the window,” Przybylski said. “We trust each other and are comfortable with each other so we encourage what we have going on. The Easter thing has just grown out of the relationship amongst ourselves, which has been really beneficial to everyone.”

Williams said he finds the partnership refreshing.

“I’ve lived and ministered in four different geographic areas and this is by far the most connected the pastors and churches have been,” Williams

said. “I think it’s how churches are supposed to act and relate.”

The joint services will start with Palm Sunday at Hope Community Church, 5650 Starr Ave. The service is set for 6 p.m. April 17 and will feature songs from a community choir made up of members from several of the churches. An offering will be taken to support Food for Thought.

On April 21, starting at 5 p.m., Christ United Methodist Church, 5757 Starr Avenue Extension, at the corner of Stadium Road, will host “The Last Night Tour,” a free interactive experience that will allow visitors to walk through the last night of Jesus’ life. The tour, which is open from 5 to 7 p.m., will include communion and prayer.

Good Friday worship, conducted by the church youth, will be held at 7 p.m. April 22 at New Harvest Christian Church, 3540 Seaman Road. An all-night prayer vigil for youth will follow the service.

On April 23, church members plan to volunteer at Spread the Love, a community event featuring food and fun, hosted by Food for Thought and the East Toledo Family Center, 1020 Varland Ave. On Easter Sunday, there will be a sunrise service at 6:30 a.m. April 24 on the beach at Maumee Bay State Park, 1750 State Park Road, led by Father Mark Herzog of St. Ignatius Catholic Church. A Catholic Mass at St. Ignatius, 212 N. Stadium Road, and a Protestant service with communion at Christ United Methodist Church will follow the beach service, with breakfast served at Christ United Methodist afterward O

to figure out how to channel their anger in ways that might lead to more just and, dare I say it, holy solutions. They were trying to figure out how to hold onto the desire to help others, even when the risk seems too high to do so. I don’t want to say I was energized by the conversation ... how could I be with a critically battered victim weighing heavy on all of our minds.

But I want to say that being with those 20-somethings helped me feel a whole lot better about the future. I realized that though we never talked much about the topic I was assigned to discuss, the conversation itself proved to be one of the best examples of holy living I have encountered in a long time ... and all I did was listen. O

Then there was a growing consensus: “This random and senseless act of violence is not who we are ... not who we are as BG students, not who we are as young people, not who we are as citizens of our community.”

Throughout the conversation, there was this gentle and compassionate soul that kept bringing us back to the plight of the victim.

As I watched this conversation unfold, occasionally adding an observation or theological reference, I couldn’t help but to note how wonderfully bright these students are as they tread through some horribly disturbing stuff. They were dealing with feeling and emotion, value and tradition, justice and society in a passionate, yet well-pondered conversation. They were trying

EDUCATION

Entrepreneurs share success stories at BGSU event

By Duane Ramsey

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER dramsey@toledofreepress.com

More than 250 business leaders, faculty members and students listened to success stories from numerous entrepreneurs at the eighth annual Sebo Series in Entrepreneurship held April 8 at Bowling Green State University.

The event focused on how companies can differentiate themselves to launch, grow and compete successfully in today’s business climate. It was hosted by the Dallas-Hamilton Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership at the College of Business Administration.

Manjit Minhas became an entrepreneur at age 19 when she and her brother Ravinder started Mountain Crest Liquors with $10,000, working out of their parents’ basement.

They began marketing highquality products for competitive prices through family-owned liquor stores in Alberta, Canada in 1999.

In 2003, they ventured into the extremely competitive beer market by establishing Minhas Creek Brewing Company. They bought a centuryold brewing company in Wisconsin

in 2006 and have grown to become the 11th largest brewery in North America.

“When you start a business, be cautious, conservative and courageous but enjoy the journey,” said Minhas, one of two keynote speakers at the Sebo series.

“Choose a job you love and you’ll never work MINHAS a day in your life,” she said.

Minhas advised future entrepreneurs to “find something you’re knowledgeable and passionate about and concentrate on it. You must believe in it before anyone else believes in it,” she said.

“There’s no substitute for hard work. I have to be the hardest working member of our team. I work for my team and they work for me.”

Minhas Brewery uses aggressive advertising and marketing to sell its beer and liquor products in Canada and 31 U.S. states including Ohio. The company also makes three kinds of

beer for Trader Joe’s stores.

“We invest everything we make back into our company to finance its further growth,” Minhas said. “I can’t imagine selling our company. We’re having too much fun.”

Steven Berlin Johnson, the other keynote speaker, is an author and writer of articles and books about business, innovation, science and technology. He is also an entrepreneur who started three companies and web sites along the way.

His latest book is titled “Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation.”

“Innovative people have a lot of hobbies that lead to interesting connections. You need to have a diverse set of interests and seek out surprising connections in your career,” he said.

Johnson believes in the “slow hunch” concept where ideas are developed but may not come to fruition or market until people are ready for them.

“The world was not ready for the World Wide Web in 1982 because personal computers were still being developed. It was not until 1989 when that idea evolved into the modern-day Internet,” he said.

“What are the technologies that do work today? Take the available tools and create something new,” he told the entrepreneurs.

Gene Poor and Rodney Heiligmann of LifeFormations in Bowling Green have been using innovation and technology to drive the success of the animatronics and fabrication business.

JOHNSON Poor began the business by purchasing the fabrication division of the former Good Display Company in Toledo and moving the operation to Bowling Green. The firm now creates animatronics displays for Disney, museums, trade shows and clients around the world.

“Continuous creativity” is vital in their business, Poor said. “It’s not about where you got the idea but what you do with it. You have to have a sense of humor and celebrate crazy.”

LifeFormations is in the process of opening a second studio in Cincinnati to draw from the talent pool in the

artistic and design community there, said Poor. The firm also acquired a company that was a client.

“We plan to broaden our products in the U.S. and go global,” Heiligmann said.

Other entrepreneurs discussed the challenges facing companies today.

“Health care is the largest uncontrollable expense for business today.

Health care is abused and the system is broken,” said Donald Mennel, president of The Mennel Milling Company in Fostoria, who conducted one of the concurrent break-out sessions. He said their company has a self-insured health plan for its employees. The familyowned centennial company operates in the grain business, supplying flour for making consumer baking products.

BGSU honored the namesake of the event, J. Robert Sebo, a 1958 graduate of the university who is completing a nine-year term on its board of trustees. Sebo is retiring this year along with BSGU President Carol Cartwright who was also recognized.

“It’s been a great experience serving BGSU. The new president and board will face some difficult challenges over the next few years. It’s not going to be easy,” Sebo said. O

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

German solar firm basing American operations in Toledo

By Duane Ramsey

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER dramsey@toledofreepress.com

TecnoSun Solar Systems AG, a German start up company, is entering the American market by establishing a base of operations in incubation space at the University of Toledo.

Peter Fischer, CEO of TecnoSun Solar, signed a lease for space in UT’s Nitschke Technology Commercialization Complex at a news conference held there April 7. UT President Lloyd Jacobs and Tom Crothers, deputy mayor for external affairs, joined Fischer to celebrate the signing.

TecnoSun Solar makes solar panel supports called trackers that move with the sun during the day, maximizing the efficiency of the panels.

The dual axis technology can increase the amount of solar energy absorbed by 25 to 40 percent depending on the latitude of the solar

location, Fischer said.

“Toledo is where we want to enter the American market. Toledo will be the site of our U.S. headquarters, where we produce our trackers and we will use the region’s logistics such as the port and railroads to transport them around the world,” Fischer said.

“It’s the perfect place for us to be here at the university that will enable us to develop new products and make use of the local supply chain to manufacture those products,” he said.

Toledo is ideal due to its existing solar infrastructure, from panel creation to installation with potential solar partners and expertise, said Fischer.

He said they plan to set up a demonstration, research and training site at the Nitschke complex and establish an American headquarters in Toledo as the company grows. He is considering several local candidates for CEO and looking to hire other senior leaders for the American operations.

More businesses are banking with Key. Shouldn’t you?

TecnoSun Solar was founded in Germany in August 2010 and already has three solar installations that are utilizing its tracking technology, said Fischer, who has an economics background and served as CEO of international companies.

Fischer met UT’s delegation at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi in January.

He said he was impressed with the presentation made by Dr. Frank Calzonetti, Megan Reichert and their team in terms of the solar expertise at UT and in Toledo, and in terms of local manufacturing and supply chain partners.

Calzonetti said they met with Fischer and discussed the advantages of Toledo, Northwest Ohio and UT as a potential home for his solar company. Fischer visited Toledo earlier this year when he met with business and community leaders.

“TecnoSun Solar is an ideal example of why we are engaging the global solar and alternative energy community,” said Calzonetti, vice president

for research and economic development at UT. “The incubator space at UT is an ideal setting for us to develop the American market and to engage local manufacturing and supply chain firms,” Fischer said.

He reported that they have already met with some of the local solar energy firms in the area that could become customers or partners of TecnoSun Solar.

“It’s a significant major step forward to establish Toledo, UT and Northwest Ohio as the center for solar energy in this country,” said Jacobs. “Great universities are called on to play more nontraditional roles in the community today and UT is assuming a leadership role here.”

Crothers welcomed Fischer and TecnoSun Solar to Toledo on behalf of Mayor Mike Bell who was out of town.

“Commercialization is the key to success for start ups like TecnoSun Solar,” Crothers said. O

Consider, as an example, the odds of Japan being struck by a 9.0 earthquake, followed by a tsunami more than 30 feet tall in some places, which in turn wiped out the generators cooling a nuclear power plant at Fukushima, causing a meltdown.

These events were obviously not anything that could be easily predicted. However, according to the models used in modern theories of diversification, this confluence of factors should never have happened. The odds are simply too small and the world too young for these events ever to have taken place, if you believe the statistics.

In addition to poor modeling, modern portfolio theory operates according to many bad rules. In an attempt to establish reliable principles that operate independently from circumstances, many have oversimplified and made rules too general or narrow.

In some cases, an investor — or worse yet, an advisor — simply lacks the investment memory to make decisions with the right perspective.

This rule (subtract the investors age from 100 and that is the percent that should be in stocks) is far too broad. According to this rule, a good deal of 80-year-olds today have more than three-quarters of their portfolio in bonds. How many of them remember what happens to bonds during prolonged times of rising interest rates? How many realize that interest rates today are the lowest they’ve been in almost 40 years, and that the odds that they will increase in the long term are a near certainty?

Perhaps the best example of a short investment memory in today’s market is gold’s recent popularity. During the past 12 years the price of gold has risen by almost six times. However, most people buying gold today don’t remember a time when gold wasn’t going up. How many people remember that in the 20 years before this recent bull market in gold began, the price of bullion had fallen more than 70 percent from its previous high in 1980?

The markets are a beast that must constantly be studied and interpreted.

While buy-and-hold theories of broad-based diversification may relieve a lot of the stress of forecasting and anticipating, they certainly are not without their shortfalls. O

What motivates you and keeps you going? For most of us it is the idea of the freedom to create our lives, our existence, in whatever way we choose.

Making a good living, taking care of our families, and making a life in which we can enjoy our surroundings and our homes and be financially secure.

As The Retirement Guys we have been talking a lot lately about our mission of helping people become financially self-reliant.

Some would refer to this as “The American Dream.” According Mark to Wikipedia, “The American Dream is Nolan a national ethos of the United States in which freedom includes a promise of the possibility of prosperity and success.”

Several things motivate me (Mark), keep me going and make me want to get up in the morning. Most of these things are somewhat selfish. I want to enjoy life. I want to have fun.

Many of you that read this column on a regular basis probably realize this as you have read about my adventures on a cross-country motorcycle trip and to Detroit Tigers Fantasy Camp. I will at this point have to say thank you to Lisa Clair for being a great wife who has no problem with me doing these things.

I definitely want to have fun, but I also want to take care of my family. I want to pay for my children’s college education; I want to pay for things like weddings and help out my children as they get on their feet with their careers and establish their lives. How am I going to do this? I get to choose how I go about it. Fortunately for me, I happen to be blessed with a great business, working with my partner Nolan Baker as The Retirement Guys. We get to help people do a better job of creating their dreams and achieving that financial self-reliance and take better

n A21

care of their families. We are living the dream of helping nice folks pursue that American Dream successfully.

Our forefathers talked about this idea of the American Dream and our heroes have helped us protect this great opportunity. Memorial Day is a time when we remember those that have given their lives for our country during military service. It was formally known as Decoration Day where families visited cemeteries and decorated the graves.

When our military CLAIR heroes went off to war to fight the BAKER battles, what do you think was on their minds? Probably the idea of protecting what they had. Their families, their homes, their friends, their work and the freedom that we all enjoy. Not only protecting it for themselves, but for everyone else, too. The sad thing today is that this holiday is not always given the meaning and observance that it deserves. It has become for many a three-day weekend to spend on a holiday, and many don’t think about the real meaning.

I don’t necessarily like paying taxes and sometimes when I see what the money is being used for I don’t feel patriotic. This of course, is a matter of opinion. I am hoping that our government makes wise decisions to best take care of our citizens. Our heroes that died for us don’t get to pay taxes or enjoy any part of living their dreams.

As you file your tax return in April and enjoy the long Memorial weekend in May, think about what they died for.

Make sure you enjoy every minute. O For more information about The Retirement Guys, tune in every Saturday at 1 p.m. on 1370 WSPD or visit www. retirementguysradio.com.

Brittany CRAIG The reception may be over, but the spotlight isn’t off. Keep family and close friends up to date on all your current adventures, trials, tribulations and hilarious moments. Start a blog to post pictures from your honeymoon, keep everyone updated on your remodeling projects or fun new activities.

Play hostess-with-the-mostess and utilize the china, cookware and fun serving wear you registered for. Don’t let it collect dust in the breakfront. Use it and love it. Didn’t register for china?

If you asked for gift cards for a project or special purchase, invite guests over to enjoy the fruits of your labor or your new living room furniture. Also upload those pictures to the blog. Aunt Sally will love seeing her gift go to use!

And since you are throwing a party, why not reuse some of your wedding decorations? Switch them up and give them a new use. Rehang your paper lanterns from your patio umbrella, use the cake bling to make napkin rings or fill vases with floating candles to illuminate tables or walkways.

Ask your DJ to make a mix CD of the music from your wedding night.

“I give every single one of my brides and grooms a CD from their wedding,” said Michael Baginski of Decorative sound DJ Service in Maumee. “From their grand introduction song to their formal dances and cake-cutting song, it’s all there. That way they have the exact version of the special song played,” said Baginski.

April Reinhard and her husband Nathan took up cycling after their wedding, even traveling cross country on road bikes together.

“Cycling has definitely impacted our marriage. Doing something physical and challenging together helps to strengthen not only our friendship but also our marriage relationship because we experience the highs: coasting down a big hill, and the lows: biking up a big hill, together,” April said.

A successful marriage is built on a good foundation. And as a wedding planner, I believe it should start with a good party. Keep the celebration going as you build your lives together. Here’s to many happy memories! O Brittany Craig is the principal event designer and coordinator for Crowning Celebrations, specializing in wedding and social celebrations.

to the East Toledo Family Center acknowledging its 110th anniversary and the tremendous impact its services and people have made on East Toledo. Kaptur is a longtime supporter of the center and believes it should serve as a model for nonprofit employees learning how to operate community organizations.

Following the certificate presenta-

tion, Allison Brown of FOX Toledo welcomed guests as the honorary chairperson.

“I definitely sense that feeling of family that everyone has talked about,” Brown said of her experience with the center’s community.

A big part of that family includes Helen Michael, who received the Century Award on

Saturday evening. Michael began volunteering at the family center in the early 1940s when it was called the Neighborhood House. Located just a couple miles from today’s facility, only a playground divided the house from Michael’s home.

Her late husband, Gordon, and many of her family members were also involved with the center. The 96-year-old dazzled as she accepted the prestigious award Saturday evening in a purple glittering jacket and matching satin pants.

Michael’s granddaughter, Deborah Skergan, also looked polished in a white sleeveless top adorned with black-trimmed rosettes and a black skirt with a ruffled hem. A blackand-white ensemble is a simple way to look chic and this classic style will become even more attainable since many designers recently featured it in their collections.

Another black-and-white dress that caught my eye at the gala was punctuated by bright yellow. Jackie Langlois wore a floral dress with a yellow cardigan and black opaque tights while her husband, Bob, wore a matching yellow shirt. Mrs. Langlois’ advice for color coordinating is always to find the dress first, then your date’s shirt and tie.

However, the most remarkable fashion statement was worn by Gala Chairman Richard Fisher. His white jacket was painted to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the East Toledo Family Center by Linda Sattler, a local artist and instructor. Fisher is proud to wear the center’s vibrant history on his sleeve.

“This organization began in 1901 to help immigrants assimilate into American life,” said Fisher. “It was formed as a support system and bloomed into the wonderful organization it is today.”

Fisher and his wife, Sandy, have helped with the gala — which raises funds to provide quality programs and services to enhance the lives of individuals and families by meeting emerging needs — since its inception 14 years ago.

“We help seniors shovel their snow, we help the person who has just lost their job and we help struggling students learn and grow,” said Kim Partin, executive director of the center.

Partin looked elegant in a fitted dress with a lace top and black tiered skirt. Lace continues to be fashionable, as well as sheer fabrics. For an up-to-date interpretation, try an antique inspired design, like Partin’s, or a completely lace dress.

IN CONCERT

Blunt talk: On new music, royal wedding, touring

By Vicki L. Kroll

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer vkroll@toledofreepress.com

James Blunt is amped up about his new disc, “Some Kind of Trouble.”

“I’ve written some pretty melancholic tunes before but that was because I was limited to the acoustic guitar,” the singer-songwriter said.

“Now I’m on the electric. The album sounds upbeat and energetic.”

And happy. Listen to the first single, “Stay the Night.”

“It’s a really fun song, which I worked out in California with Ryan Tedder and Steve Robson and, of course, Bob Marley,” Blunt said of the song that references the reggae legend’s “Is This Love.” “It just really captures hanging out with your friends and not wanting the night to end.”

Blunt and Robson hung out a lot while making the disc.

“I was supposed to meet [Robson] for a beer, and he was playing the piano and I picked up an electric guitar, and we just wrote [‘Dangerous’] then and there,” Blunt said. “I hadn’t written on the electric for many years because most of my time in the army I was always traveling and it was impractical to take an amplifier anywhere; there’s nowhere to plug my amp in my tank.

“And songs just started coming and the demos sounded good,” he continued during a call from Stuttgart, Germany, after a sound check. “What was supposed to be a beer turned into a year in the studio, and we finished the album actually in 14 months.”

He talked about another new song, “Superstar.”

“It’s the story of a teenager in today’s world, but you know it could be your perception of the world as well, which is how we play along with a lot of TV nowadays, full of these reality TV shows about becoming famous.

And all our children, if you ask them what they want to do, they say I want to be rich and famous because that’s what our TV shows tell our children is the measure of success,” Blunt said. “[‘Superstar’ is] a story of a teenager saying, ‘I don’t want to read all these magazines telling me what clothes to wear, I don’t want to be told what music to like, I don’t want to measure success in fame and fortune.’

Instead he wants to be an individual and choose his own path. I think that’s definitely an idea I could relate to and I would imagine lots of people could relate to in this day and age.”

Blunt burst onto the U.S. music scene with the hit “Beautiful” from his

2005 debut, “Back to Bedlam.” He received five Grammy nominations for that disc and song.

Suddenly, the former British army officer was pegged as “a sensitive singer-songwriter.” “ ‘Sensitive’ always sounds like an effeminate quality. I think I was sensitive as a soldier, as all soldiers are, because you have to be sensitive, aware, of your surroundings,” the 37-yearold said. “As an observer, one has to be aware. And then I comprehend it, translate it and express it, so that defines your character, I suppose.”

Being a character landed Blunt in the news recently when he jokingly told a reporter he would be playing the royal wedding.

“There’s been a fascination with certain goings-on in Britain that have nothing to do with my job, but every current British musician at the moment is being asked the same question and, eventually, you think, well, I’m going to have some fun with this,” he said and laughed.

While he won’t be performing for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s big day, he will be at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor for a 7:30 p.m. show April 27. Tickets are $45, $33.50 and $25.

“I’m bowled over about playing live

all the time because I think it’s such an amazing form of expression and communication,” he said. “I’m on a 13month world tour playing in countries

where people don’t even understand my own language, yet the music itself is all the language we need to communicate. I’m blown away by that, how
