LIGHTING THE FUSE

Publisher’s statement

Black snake prone Feeding Lucas County Children A F or many kids in Lucas County, summer means a break from school, adventures in family vacations across the country and a chance to pursue interests and hobbies the academic year does not allow time for.

But for thousands of local children, the end of the school year means an end to the stability of one of life’s basics: meals. Without the structure and consistency of schools, many of our neighbors will not have access to three square meals a day.

As we have written, “one of the largest summer food programs in Ohio is Feed Lucas County Children (FLCC), which does more than provide meals; it promotes a safe haven for youth, as well as collaborating and proThomas F. Pounds viding food for more than 100 agencies.”

“We give them that foundation of food which draws more kids in need,” Executive Director Tony Siebeneck said.

At dozens of sites every summer, FLCC provides more than 242,000 meals in about 11 weeks. Siebeneck said the meals are recognized as some of the healthiest in Ohio, using fresh fruit, whole wheat bread and low sodium.

Inspired by an initiative suggested by Columbia Gas of Ohio Communications and Community Relations Manager Chris Kozak, Toledo Free Press is launching a six-week series examining the work FLCC performs and the origins of the needs that drive the organization. Partnering with Doni Miller of 13abc’s “Bridges,” Columbia Gas of Ohio, Mercy Children’s Hospital and Walt Churchill’s Market, we are going to do more than talk about this crucial problem; we are going to actively try to make a difference. Toward the end of the series, from July 3 to July 17, there will be a “Round Up Hunger” drive at the Walt Churchill’s locations at 3320 Briarfield Blvd. in Maumee and 26625 Dixie Hwy. in Perrysburg (currently, there is no program similar to FLCC in Wood County, a situation Siebeneck is assessing).

During the “Round Up Hunger” campaign, when you purchase groceries at Walt Churchill’s Markets, you will be asked if you can “round up” your purchase to the next dollar. That change, from 1 cent to 99 cents, will be donated 100 percent to FLCC. More details are forthcoming, but we are in great debt to our partners for recognizing the need to help FLCC and for stepping up with their time, energy and resources.

We are not so naive to think we can eliminate hunger in our county, but we can, in cooperation with you, make a difference in thousands of lives during these challenging economic times.

We hope you are compelled by our series to offer whatever you can during the “Round Up Hunger” campaign, to help us show these children they are not invisible to us — that we know they need us, and that we are here for them.

FEED LUCAS COUNTY CHILDREN

Toledo Free Press will focus a six-week series this summer on the mission of Feed Lucas County Children (FLCC).

From July 3 to July 10, Walt Churchill’s markets will participate in a “Round Up Hunger” campaign to raise funds for FLCC.

By Patrick Timmis Toledo Free Press Staff Writer ptimmis@toledofreepress.com

A young boy approached the lunch server at Wildwood Environmental Academy the last week of classes.

“What are we supposed to do after school lets out? What are we supposed to eat?” he asked Danice Anderson. “'Cause I’ll be hungry.”

In Lucas County, 29,962 children under the age of 18 — 27.4 percent — live at or below the poverty line, according to the U.S. Census. During the school year, the National School Lunch Program ensures at least one meal a day for them. But that program halts during the long summer break, leaving many children scrounging for food.

Feed Lucas County Children (FLCC) is trying to help by providing healthy meals at 65 locations throughout the summer, and its service is growing exponentially. When the group started in the summer of 2002, it distributed more than 7,000 meals. Last summer, the number was 242,000, with up to 6,200 chil-

dren eating on the busiest days.

That means the program is reaching roughly one-quarter of city’s hungry children, said Tony Siebeneck, director of FLCC — far too small a number, but the group is about to run out of kitchen space.

Siebeneck estimated the group could comfortably feed 8,000 before it would have to start building.

Dacia Bolden is a mother who works with autistic children at Eagle Academy. Children come to school hungry because they don’t eat breakfast, she said, and she knows four of the young families are “latchkey kids” with no parents bringing food home at night.

“It’s a time of economics that has caused a lot of parents not to be able to feed their family, and some of it’s just ignorance, thinking one meal is enough,” she said.

Many children will scrounge in the Dumpsters behind fast food restaurants after closing time, said Anthony Johnson, director of the children’s inner-city program Kids Unlimited.

“If my mother’s a drug addict and she’s not home to feed me, I can go right up to McDonald’s and eat for free every day,” he said.

Fast food and other “junk food” often fill the gap for children and allows children to survive, which results in obesity and diabetes,

FLCC workers serve MEALS June 8 at Gunckel Park, one of 65 locations serving up to 6,200 children per day.

Siebeneck said.

Laurie Lyell, registered nurse at Mercy Children’s Hospital, said 19 percent of Ohio’s children are obese, with an additional 16 percent overweight.

“There’s also a tendency for them to be malnourished, not getting the appropriate nutrients for what they

need,” said Jeannie Wagner, a registered dietitian at the hospital. “We don’t think of them as malnourished because they’re heavier.”

Bolden turned to Feed Lucas County Children herself after a divorce left her scrambling to provide for her children. The group lifted some of her burden, she said, and

it feeds children who otherwise might eat once a day.

“A lot of those children would not have breakfast or lunch,” she said. O

Protect Yourself from Swimmer’s Ear Swimmer’s ear is a common condition, particular in the summer months. In fact, 10% of all people in the United States will be affected by swimmer’s ear at least once in their lifetime. Knowing its cause and symptoms can help you protect your ears this summer.

Swimmer’s ear is an inflammation of the outer ear and ear canal, most often caused by bacteria found in lakes, rivers and pools. When your ears get wet, your skin can soften and crack.

This allows bacteria to get under your skin and cause an infection.

Anyone can get swimmer’s ear, but those who are diabetic, elderly or have a skin condition, such as eczema, are at a higher risk.

To protect yourself, wear plugs when swimming. Excessively cleaning your ears can also contribute to increased infections by eliminating ear wax, which is a natural barrier to bacteria.

The Andersons signs petition against NAT GAS Act

By Patrick Timmis Toledo Free Press Staff Writer ptimmis@toledofreepress.com

The Andersons Inc. recently signed a petition addressed to the U.S. Congress requesting that it deny subsidy funding to the natural gas industry.

The company, along with a number of other manufacturing and agricultural organizations, wrote that it opposed “legislation that the Congress may consider that would provide subsidies or mandates that artificially increase the demand for natural gas in the transportation and power sectors.”

“We urge the Congress to allow the market to set supply and demand for natural gas instead of picking ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ through legislation,” the letter stated.

The Andersons specifically opposed HR 1380 or the “NAT GAS Act,” a subsidy for natural gas-fueled vehicles.

Debra Crow, a spokeswoman for The Andersons, said the company’s chief concern was that a subsidy would raise the demand, thus price, for natural gas, which is also used in agriculture.

“Our biggest concern is that natural

gas is used in the production of some of the nutrients that go into farms,” Crow said. “Our biggest concern is the impact that it would have on the farmers.”

It would also make business more costly for The Andersons, she said, as the company is a major plant nutrient distributor.

The Andersons followed with its own follow-up letter. The highlights were: O “Natural gas is a vital feedstock for the production of ammonia, which is the building block for all nitrogen fertilizers. Nitrogen applications are absolutely essential to maintaining the high crop yields of modern agriculture that keep America’s crop production abundant, affordable and a vital export.”

O “Creating an inflated market for natural gas through this legislation would sharply increase the cost and availability of this vital input and put a strain on the American farmer.

The farmer will be required to choose between higher production costs and lower yields.”

O “This legislation will likely lead to a greater dependence on nitrogen imports. Subsequent to the sharp rise in natural gas prices in 2001 close to 40 percent of the U.S. nitrogen pro-

duction industry shuttered leaving the U.S. farmer dependent on imports for as much as 50 percent of their needs from many of the same countries we rely on for oil.”

O “Natural gas is not an industry in its infancy. It is not a renewable fuel, and it is not an industry providing new markets for American agriculture. Should investors determine that natural gas as a vehicle fuel makes economic sense, capital will flow naturally into this sector. If this market does not develop, then there is an economic reason why this should not prosper.”

Chris Kozak, communications and community relations manager for Columbia Gas of Ohio, said concerns about rising demand would be largely eliminated should more drilling opportunities be opened in newly discovered shales in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

“The best solution is bringing more supply to market,” he said.

Those shales hold $2 trillion worth of natural gas, about a 125-year supply, Kozak said. Kozak said he respected The Andersons needs to look out for its own best interest and said the companies share a similar goal of a healthy supply of natural gas. O

EDUCATION

Meadows Choice Community School to close this month Meadows Choice Community School announced June 8 that it intends to close the final day of this month. The Toledo school had approximately 150 students and taught kindergarten through ninth grade.

The school was deemed to be in “Academic Emergency” from 2007-10 after not meeting some of the state’s minimum standards, including the Ohio Achievement Assessments. It also failed to meet its annual yearly progress standards and was below on value added in reading during the 2007-08 and 2009-10 school years.

“Since we are a community school the state has certain guidelines,” first-year Principal Thomas Gladieux said. “The school had been on academic emergency for three years in a row and we did not meet our value added or our annual yearly progress. Therefore the school, by state mandate, has to close.”

Students and parents have been advised of other school choices including public, community and private facilities. Student records will be sent to Toledo Public Schools on June 17, as it is the district of residence. O — Zach Davis

Symptoms of swimmer’s ear include ear pain, itchiness, “plugged” ears, loss of hearing, and jaw pain.

Fortunately, swimmer’s ear is very treatable. Your doctor may recommend over-the-counter ear drops, antibiotics or steroids. With this treatment, you should see improvement in just a few days.

Bob Kelly retires after 50 years on radio

By Duane Ramsey

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER dramsey@toledofreepress.com

A familiar voice on Toledo air waves will be missing next week. Local radio personality Bob Kelly is retiring after spending the past 50 years on the radio in Ohio.

“I’ve been at every station in town except Sunoco,” said Kelly, who originally came to Toledo in November 1965.

Kelly, born Norman Plumer in Akron, grew up in the nearby suburb of Copley.

He got his start on the campus KELLY radio station at Kent State University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in broadcasting.

Someone there didn’t like his name on the air so he began using his middle name Rogers (his mother’s maiden name), and worked as

Norm Rogers.

He began his professional radio career in 1961 in Alliance, Ohio.

When he was hired at a station in Canton, someone there didn’t like the name Norm and suggested the name Bob Rogers.

“I just said, ‘Thanks for the job, call me what you want,’” Kelly said.

Bob Martz and John Garry from Toledo were driving around Ohio looking for someone they could clean up and make a star.

“I think they liked something clever I said on the radio,” Kelly said.

After their first choice didn’t work out, they hired him but Garry didn’t like the name Rogers and decided he was going to be Bob Kelly on the radio in Toledo and it stuck, Kelly said.

He went back to working as Norm Plumer on WWJ radio in Detroit from 1969 to 1974. He did weekend sports that included hosting a show called Sportsline that Al Ackerman started there.

“I interviewed all kinds of famous sports people like Bill Russell, Gordie

Howe, Bobby Hull, George Foreman and Richard Petty,” Kelly said. “I later did color commentary for Goaldiggers’ hockey in Toledo.”

He returned to Toledo in 1974 working as Bob Kelly on WCWA. He later worked with Martz as The Bob and Bob Show on WOHO in the 1980s.

Kelly also worked at WTOD before it was a country station. He knew nothing about country music, according to one of his radio colleagues.

One of Kelly’s most famous roles was when he played “Perry Chair” on television commercials for the former Perry House Furniture. He was dressed as a recliner chair for those TV spots.

“I made very little money but got a lot of notoriety as people still remember Perry Chair,” Kelly said.

That role was created by local advertising consultant Chuck Allen who directed Kelly when he played Skippy the Scarecrow on TV-24 in Toledo.

In 1992, Kelly came to WRQN where he teamed with longtime sidekick, Dennis Staples, as Kelly and

Staples in the Morning. After Staples retired about five years ago, the station thought he needed another onair partner.

Ron Finn, who follows Kelly onair and serves as program director, called Becky Shock who previously worked on-air at WIOT in Toledo.

She replaced Staples and they began working on the WRQN Morning Show with Bob and Becky.

They have been on-air sidekicks weekdays from 5:30 to 10 a.m. for nearly five years.

With Kelly’s retirement, Finn will move from mid-day to the morning slot. Shock will stay on-air in some capacity with the station, according to Finn.

Looking back on his long career, Kelly admitted to having some embarrassing moments, including the only time he cursed on the air.

Lou Hebert had just read a weather forecast about a storm coming from the west and Kelly said, “It’s coming from those G**d*** farmers in Indiana,” mocking the voice of someone he knew who used

that phrase.

On his first job in Alliance, Kelly said he was reading a swap shop ad about somebody selling a kitchen sink “with hot and cold spig-ohs” thinking the word spigot was French.

When asked what he plans to do when he retires, Kelly said, “Starting Monday, I’m sleeping in and then playing in a golf tournament. What a fun way to start your retirement.”

Kelly said he will continue to do some commercials and occasionally will be heard on the radio. He also plans to do some live shows around town. He said his wife, Linda, told him retirement means the bushes need trimming.

Bob and Linda have been married for 30 years and have two grown children, their daughter Kristie, who gave them a grandson, Jackson Pollock, and their son Bobby.

A planned 50th anniversary party for Kelly will now be a retirement party at Fat Fish Blue in Levis Commons on June 10 at 7 p.m.

EDUCATION

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

One thousand paper cranes made by a local fifth-grade class took flight in March and landed safely in May in Japan, where they were recently presented at an international peace monument in Hiroshima.

The cranes were folded by Melissa Prior’s fifth-graders at Queen of Apostles School in Toledo after the class read “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” by Eleanor Coerr.

The book tells the true story of Sadako Sasaki, a young Japanese girl diagnosed with leukemia. She begins folding 1,000 paper cranes after hearing it will grant her a wish to get well, but dies before completing the feat.

More than 10 million paper cranes are sent to the Children’s Peace Monument in Hiroshima each year, coming from around the world, according to the city’s website. The monument symbolizes a prayer for world peace and the peaceful repose of the children killed by the atomic bomb.

Prior found out through an email from a city of Hiroshima employee on May 23 that the box had arrived. The email included photos of the class’s cranes at the monument, which she printed out for each class member.

The students were thrilled, Prior said in an email to Toledo Free Press.

“It couldn’t have come at a better time,” Prior said. “We got to give them their photos on the last day of regular classes this year. What perfect timing.

I was happy to see that the project had a close to it before summer break.”

The cranes were mailed in one large box on March 1, said Prior, who suspects delivery was delayed because of the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan on March 11.

“We tried to flatten the cranes so we wouldn’t need more boxes,” she said. “It cost almost $70 to mail all of those!”

The Children’s Peace Monument was built in 1958 in honor of Sasaki, who was exposed to the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima when she was 2, contracted leukemia nine years later and died in 1955, when she was 12.

The monument, located in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, features a three-legged pedestal topped by the bronze figure of a girl holding up a folded crane. On either side of the pedestal are the suspended figures of a boy and girl, symbolizing a bright future and hope. The stone underneath the pedestal reads, “This is our cry.

This is our prayer. For building peace

in this world.”

The city of Hiroshima is accepting suggestions on what to do with the thousands of cranes after they are offered to the monument in order to “reincarnate” them for another purpose,

according to its website.

On May 20, in conjunction with the paper crane project, Queen of Apostles School hosted visiting author Christine Petrell Kallevig, who specializes in telling stories using origami.

“The fifth-graders were proud to be able to tell her about what we did,” said Prior, who said students and staff members received an autographed copy of Kallevig’s book thanks to a donation from The Andersons. O

FAMILIES

Reconnecting fathers, children aim of Fatherhood Town Halls

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

As many area residents make plans to celebrate Father’s Day on June 19 with their families, other local fathers

(LCCS) and its Diversity Advisory Committee will host its fourth Fatherhood Town Hall meeting at 7 p.m.

June 17 at Power House Tabernacle, 1228 Campbell St., in Toledo.

Momentum in the movement is building, said Marjorie Holt, mi-

nority affairs and inclusion coordinator at LCCS. “It’s growing. More and more fathers are coming forward and showing more interest in connecting with their children. That’s really the goal of all this is to bring back the dads and get them involved in the lives of their children,” Holt said. “We’re really trying to make this a resource for fathers so they will have access to every service available in our community to help them be the best parent they can become.”

One of every three U.S. children lives apart from his or her biological father, including nearly two of every three African-American children, according to the National Fatherhood Initiative, citing 2009 U.S. Census data. In 1960, only 11 percent of U.S. children lived in father-absent homes.

“Children do better socially, psychologically, emotionally; children just excel and succeed more when the father is connected,” Holt said. “There seems to be a correlation between how well a child progresses in life when there is a father or a male figure in his or her life. So the establishment of that kind of relationship allows the child to understand that having a father figure in their life, it completes their life.”

At the meeting, community

More than

leaders and fathers who have returned to their children’s lives will share their experiences, said Julie Malkin, LCCS public information officer.

“We’re going to have a number of fathers tell their stories about their experiences and how they became separated from their children — whether it was a financial matter or not getting along with the baby’s mother or incarceration — and how they have returned to their children’s lives and what that’s meant for them,” Malkin said.

Representatives of community agencies that support fathers, including legal, health and child support resources, will be available to answer questions and offer help, Malkin said.

New this session, transportation will be available for fathers who need a ride to the meeting.

Peterson said the town hall meetings, which have been offered quarterly since June 2010, seem to be helping.

“Fathers have so far spoken positively about what’s going on,” Peterson said. “It’s much-needed. There’s a lot of problems out there, a lot of issues.

There’s a lot of resources out there and people don’t know about it.”

Toledo recommends against purchasing Libbey High School

By Zach Davis TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER zdavis@toledofreepress.com

The Toledo Mayor’s Office sent an evaluation on June 2 recommending City Council no longer pursue saving Libbey High School’s Field House and Skill Center. The evaluation was sent through Mayor Mike Bell and Deputy Mayor of Operations Stephen Herwat from Tom Crothers, deputy mayor of external relations.

“Unfortunately, as you will see by perusing the study and, in particular, the ‘Cost Estimate Summary’, undertaking this project at this time is simply prohibitive,” Crothers said.

“Accordingly, the Administration

recommends that the city no longer consider entering into an agreement with the Toledo Public School System to purchase these facilities.”

The city originally planned to spend around $1 million on the building. However, the newly released evaluation showed an estimate of about $5.1 million in repairs to ready the building for public use.

In a email sent to Toledo Free Press, activist Warren Woodberry questioned the increased costs of many of the planned improvements.

TPS Board Vice President Lisa Sobecki said TPS will still be entertaining offers for the building if anyone is willing to step forward. O

CITY OF TOLEDO

Proposal would strengthen penalties on metal scavengers

District 4 Councilwoman Paula Hicks-Hudson is working on a proposal to City Council to beef up penalties for scavengers of metal and antiques from local houses.

The proposed legislation could also target junk-collectors who pick up scrap metal from the curbside, a practice Hicks-Hudson said is illegal.

“I think it should be enforced,”

she said.

The city has mandated that anyone selling metal or items taken from a historic building present ID, which Toledo Police Chief Mike Navarre said

improved but did not solve the issue.

“We still have a problem with people going into houses — not just vacant houses but houses that are for sale — people going in the basement and stripping out the copper,” he said.

Hicks-Hudson said current antiscavenging legislation is too weak and she hopes to have the new proposal drafted by the end of the summer. Possible points would include increased penalties for scavenging and more stringent regulations for pawn and antique shops’ process of confirming potential sellers’ right to property. “[Looters] are not salvaging [demolition sites], they are ripping off our houses,” said Fanny Effler, an attorney who worked with HicksHudson on the proposal.

Jane Cairl, who owns the antique

store Architectural Artifacts Downtown, said thieves have brought antiques stolen from empty houses to her store several times, driven by tough economic times to break the law for a few dollars. For thieves, selling stripped goods can be a quick and profitable way to do that. Some doorknobs at Architectural Artifacts, for instance, are resold for more than $180.

“We’ve put people in jail,” Cairl said. “If I feel that it’s something weird, I don’t buy it.”

Navarre said empty-home breakins are recorded as “breaking and entering” in crime reports, but much of the stolen metal is untraceable.

“It’s a non-violent crime, so police don’t want to spend a lot of time tracking it,” Cairl said. O — Patrick Timmis

Charlotte Shaffer is slowing down.

The Toledo woman who cofounded the Area Office on Aging once balanced forging a path for Toledo social work with the presidency of an international women’s service organization, Quota International.

Later, she was vice chairman for her Lutheran denomination’s Northwest Ohio synod.

Today, at 85, all she can manage is full-time volunteer work for Olivet Lutheran Church, the Area Office on Aging (AOoA) and The Salvation Army.

“When I was in the Community Planning Council, I could do four meetings a day,” she said. “I can’t do over two right now.”

For her years of service, Shaffer was one of 19 Ohioans recently inducted into the Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame by the Ohio Department of Aging in Columbus.

Inclusion is based on achievements and contributions toward the benefit of humankind after age 60, or for a continuation of efforts begun before that age.

Shaffer, an only child born in 1926 in North Toledo, was raised during the Great Depression.

“I suppose our lives were different than young people growing up today,” she said.

Her mother served as a church volunteer and her father worked at a meatpacking plant.

“I was fortunate my father always worked,” she said. “But I didn’t know how fortunate I was.”

Early in high school, Shaffer knew she wanted to work with people in need. Upon graduation from Whitney High School in 1944,

she took a job at Lutheran Community House helping at-risk children and decided to study social work at the then-Toledo University.

“I can remember my father questioning me, ‘Why would you want to go to college? Why would you want to get a job?’” she said. “I like challenges.

I like to start programs.”

At college, Charlotte met a science student named Harold Shaffer.

After graduate school — she at University of Michigan and Case Western for social work, he at Toledo for biology — the couple married and settled in Toledo.

Harold became a professor at their alma mater, where he would teach for 40 years — the last 10 for free when the university ran out of money to pay him. “[He stayed] because he loved it, and students wanted him to,” Charlotte said.

After Harold died in 2005, she found letters from grateful students tucked between the pages of old textbooks in his library.

“Students loved him, just loved him, because he was so good, and they liked how he taught,” she said.

The Shaffers never had children; instead, the community became her family, Charlotte said.

Her first position after school was director of the Toledo Volunteer Bureau. Organized, structured volunteerism was a new concept in the '50s, she said, as was a woman at the helm.

“I believe in this community,” she said. “I wanted to do things with it, not for it. I wanted to be a part of this community.”

Around her was a diverse group of citizen leaders from all walks of life, rooted in solid, active families.

“There were some very strong people whose children aren’t here any

more, or grandchildren,” she said.

Former colleague Billie Johnson said Charlotte taught her to work with eclectic groups.

“She just taught me to get along with people and engage others,” she said.

Charlotte moved next to the Toledo Council of Social Agencies — now the Community Planning Council — where she would work for 40 years.

Of all her projects there, the dearest to her is the AOoA, which she founded with Johnson, the current president and CEO, after several years laboring for state and federal support.

Today, the AOoA serves 2,200 seniors in Northwest Ohio.

“That’s my baby,” she said.

“That’s mine.”

Charlotte officially retired in 1992, but has worked as a volunteer for the past 19 years. She’s worked so hard for so long, she suspects she missed some enjoyment along the way.

“I loved every minute of it, but there were lots and lots of minutes,” she said.

But she’s not second-guessing her choices.

“It’s my way of life,” she said — a life led hand-in-hand with Harold, who volunteered at St. Vincent’s Hospital and the Red Cross after leaving UT as professor emeritus.

“I had the support of my husband to do all these things,” she said. “I’m not sure every husband would have had his wife out there doing everything.”

The community has supported her as well. Charlotte is one of three people to be made an honorary member of the Junior League of Toledo, a women’s service organization.

To Charlotte, the concept of community remains vital and full of potential for Toledo.

“We can’t live alone,” she said. “We can’t be isolated. … This is a good community, and I know as well as any-

Part of her contribution has been preparing others to take her place.

“She is someone who has served as a mentor and a guide for others who were coming up in the field,” said Pam Howell-Beach, executive director of

the Stranahan Foundation.

Her last gift to the community will come at her death, when UT will establish an endowed chair in the Shaffers’ name in the Department of Biological Sciences.

“You can see I’ve been busy,” she said.

“You probably think ‘Doesn’t that lady ever stay home?’ But I’ve slowed down some. It’s been a wonderful life.” O

Three keynote speakers from Washington, D.C., will address the myths and misconceptions of Social Security at a free seminar June 16.

“Social Security: Facts vs. Fiction” will run from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the WPOS Center, 7112 Angola Road in Holland, presented by the Ohio Alliance for Retired Americans and The Alliance of Informed Citizens of Northwest Ohio.

Lunch will be provided. Registration and refreshments start at 8:30 a.m.

The seminar is for all ages and will cover the history and structure of the Social Security program, how it impacts people’s lives and what citizens can do to protect and preserve it for the future, said Sam Burnett, co-chair of the seminar.

“We really have an elite group to share with us,” said Burnett, a retired teacher, principal and Washington Local Schools board member who now lobbies for seniors in Washington, D.C., on Social Security, Medicare, fraud and other issues. “There’s an awful lot of misinformation out there.”

Barbara Easterling, president of the national group Alliance for Retired Americans, will speak first.

“She’s a dynamic speaker,” Burnett said.

Next will be Maria Freese, policy developer and at-

torney for the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, followed by Virginia Reno, vice president for income security at the National Academy of Social Insurance.

“She knows a lot about Social Security,” Burnett said.

“She has probably the best handle on Social Security as far as its cause, its need and how it functions.”

All three speakers are experienced and knowledgeable in their fields, said Rod Farnsworth, a retired Local 50 worker and member of The Alliance of Informed Citizens of Northwest Ohio.

“You can hear all kinds of things, but what’s the truth?”

Farnsworth said. “These three people are from Washington.

They are interested in preserving Social Security.”

The Alliance of Informed Citizens of Northwest Ohio mainly organizes events for seniors and retirees, but the group wanted to open this seminar to everyone paying into Social Security, Farnsworth said.

“Some people are already on it, some are looking forward to it and some young people think it won’t be there for them,” Farnsworth said. “Well it’s been there for 76 years. If we handle it right, it will be there for them.”

After the speakers and a box lunch, there will be a panel discussion including testimonials followed by age-specific group discussion.

Burnett hopes participants will take away a new understanding of Social Security. n Security CONTINUES ON A16

They can call us to get the real answer rather than someone tell them something.”

The event is meant to be an information seminar, not a debate,

Farnsworth said.

“We want to get the facts to the attendees and let them decide how best to deal with Social Security,” Farnsworth said. “Part of what I would hope comes out of this is people would say ‘This is what I think could be done’ — not the politicians or the people on TV — but if we can get some real ideas from the people who are going to

Take control and avoid diabetes complications (ARA) — Changing health behaviors is vital for the nearly 26 million Americans with diabetes and the 79 million American adults with pre-diabetes. That’s because improperly managed diabetes can bring serious complications, including heart disease or stroke, kidney disease, nerve damage, vision loss or amputation.

However, behavior change is not an easy process. Diabetes affects every area of a person’s life, and it takes a considerable amount of time and effort to manage the disease. Some of the most difficult aspects of the disease are learning to change lifelong patterns of eating and activity and adhering to a new monitoring and

medication-taking routine.

Adjustments — small and large — need to be made to an individual’s lifestyle, but where does a person start?

The American Association of Diabetes Educators outlines seven areas of self-care that are essential for living a healthy life with diabetes. Known as the AADE7, they are:

O Healthy eating — learning to make healthy food choices by paying attention to nutritional content and portion sizes.

O Being active — recognizing the importance of physical activity and making a plan to start moving today.

O Monitoring — learning to check and record your blood glucose levels and other numbers important to your diabetes self-care.

O Taking medication — remembering to take your medications as prescribed and understanding how they affect your body and diabetes management.

O Problem solving — gaining skills to identify problems or obstacles to your self-care behaviors and learning how to solve them.

O Reducing risks — understanding the potential complications you are at risk for with diabetes and

taking steps to prevent them.

O Healthy coping — developing healthy ways of dealing with difficult times in your diabetes management.

Health care professionals known as diabetes educators can help people with diabetes learn self-care strategies for each of the AADE7 and work with individuals to set and achieve behavior change goals in order to reduce the risk of developing complications.

“It’s just not one of those diseases that you take a pill for in the morning and wait for it to take effect,” said Certified Diabetes Educator Donna Tomky, president of the American Association of Diabetes Educators.

“Diabetes is unique in that it requires constant supervision of diet and other factors. And while this can be burdensome, the good news is that diabetes education works,” Tomky said. O

Students and faculty in the university of findlay’s entrepreneur program.

Findlay welcomes African entrepreneurs

By Kathryn Milstein Toledo Free Press Staff Writer kmilstein@toledofreepress.com

Hassana Balde wants to fight against hunger.

Balde, from Senegal, and 10 others are at the University of Findlay (UF), participating in an entrepreneurship program.

After two weeks of classroom material, the students in the program will spend a weeklong internship at a company related to their business goals.

The program, run by Paul Sears, dean of the College of Business at UF, generated more than 100 applicants from five different countries in Africa.

The five countries were Mali, Senegal, Chad, Burkina Faso and Niger.

Sears said the school focused on French-speaking areas of Africa.

Applicants were asked, in English, to have preliminary business plans, speak fluent English, be literate and have leadership experience.

Sears, who wrote the proposal for the $600,000 grant UF received in collaboration with the Findlay Rotary Club, planned to pick 15 entrepreneurs for each of two sessions, but a few applicants could not get visas in time for the first session.

n A19

Sears said UF will accept four additional people to make up for the loss this session.

Balde said his family has more than 250 acres of land, but they use only 50 acres.

“I want to start a vegetable farm because I want to fight against poverty,” he said. “I want people to have balanced diets.”

He said using the land would create more food and jobs for 10 people who would otherwise move to the city looking for work.

Cheick Ahmadou Tidiane Ba, from Mali, created a business plan for a telecommunications company.

Ba said he wants to help the progress of development in his country, which is through new technology, such as cellphones and the Internet.

He will spend his internship week with Windstream Communications in Little Rock, Ark., with Dennis Foster, the CEO of the company and UF alumni.

“I feel like I’ll get a lot of experience working with him,” Ba said.

“He’s not a small company. If I can take this experience from here and use it in Mali, I think I will be successful.”

Kadidiatou “Kadi” Mariko,

from Niger, wrote a plan to expand her clothing design and manufacturing company.

“I feel like there’s more art here, and people can get it easily,” she said.

She said she enjoys having the art around because there are not a lot of artists in Niger, where her job isn’t taken seriously.

Khalil Ahmat Ali, from Chad, said he liked Subway when he visited the restaurant when he was in Washington, D.C. for three days. Ali, who will intern with Jimmy John’s, said he wants to open a restaurant.

“People want quality food, and that’s why the idea of starting a restaurant came to me,” he said.

He said he plans to model his restaurant after the ones in the U.S. and to network with restaurant owners.

Some of the other proposals by entrepreneurs in the first session were a rural pharmacy, a bilingual elementary school , a translation services company and a family planning and HIV/AIDS center.

“I’m very pleased and excited about what’s happening,” Sears said. He said he has started looking into other ways to fund the program once the money from the grant has been spent. O

Good Web writing gives your ideas a fighting chance

D

reiser and Dostoyevsky never dealt with readers who scanned. Oh, Theodore and Fyodor had their troubles, but when readers committed to their stories they were in it until the end.

You might not be crafting brilliant fiction this week, but you would sure love it if someone would completely read through Kevin your blog post or product information.

Then you must write more efficiently for the Web. People generally scan printed and Web content. As people hunt

and gather information, their eyes search headlines and body copy in an F-pattern until they discover exactly what they want.

Researchers have produced heat map diagrams showing this consistent scan pattern of attention on a Web page.

You need to improve your Web writing to give your content a fighting chance. The narrative is important so let’s add Cesarz some elements to satisfy the scan readers.

Prevent these attention deficitdriven readers from ping-ponging right past your post by following these Web writing best practices.

Summary paragraph

You can think of it as a quick elevator speech or content introduction. It tells the reader what’s coming.

Jakob Neilsen is a Web usability guru who has done wonderful research on

how people use websites. He suggests you skip the coy opening and instead tell me what I’m about to read.

Subheads

Search robots and spiders scan

Web content for H1 heads, H2 heads, copy, links, etc. So when you build subheads you not only give the page better readability but you make it more searchable. n SOCIAL CONTINUES ON A21

n TREECE CONTINUED FROM A19 More “conservative” economic theories, e.g. the Austrian school, Reaganomics, et al, place high value the individual.

In its simplest terms, a business owner is risking capital to produce some product or service. That businessman’s employees are willfully selling their labor to their employer in exchange for some agreed-upon compensation (wages, benefits, and so on). It’s a simple transaction The more progressive theories (i.e. Obamanomics), on the other hand, don’t care about the individual.

Everything is about “the masses.”

Looking out for the masses; ensuring fairness for the masses. And, yes, even providing for the masses.

Obama doesn’t care about the economy because, according to the theories he espouses, he’s doing everything right. Heck, since he took the reins, government now has oversight of another 13-plus percent of

our national economy (health care) thanks to Obamacare.

The President’s not interested in changing; why would he change when he’s already doing the “right” things?

He believes his own hype, particularly that provided by his slow-pitch media that proclaims him the smartest man in any room he enters.

Unfortunately for “we the people,” if President Obama continues the policies he has thus-far pursued, the question isn’t whether we will get out of this recession. We won’t; and what’s more — things will likely get much, much worse. O Dock David Treece is a discretionary money manager with Treece Investment Advisory Corp and a stockbroker licensed with FINRA.

HOCKEY

By Chris Schmidbauer

Toledo Free Press Sports Editor cschmidbauer@toledofreepress.com

While most 18-year-olds were busy preparing for their high school graduation, Matt Mahalak was preparing for a different event.

From May 30 to June 5, the Monroe native was in Toronto for the NHL’s annual draft combine.

“I have never lived the life of a normal teenager,” Mahalak said. “I have never gone to prom and done the typical high school things. While it’s been tough, I wouldn’t trade my experience for anything.”

Mahalak was just one of eight goalies who were picked to attend the combine, which uses a variety of tests to help teams determine a player’s value.

The combine invite represented an opportunity for Mahalak to showcase his skills and helped the young net minder come one step closer to his ultimate goal: playing in the NHL. Mahalak said that the combine was unlike anything he’s ever experienced.

“It was much different than I expected,” he said. “The first two days were nothing but interviews with teams. I didn’t expect to be wearing a suit and tie the first few days there, but it was nice that it wasn’t all physical testing throughout the entire five days.”

Mahalak ranked in the top 24 for the fatigue test, and he was proud that he came in lean, learning he had a body fat index of just 8 percent. While those stats are impressive it was not his crowning achievement.

“I was just glad I didn’t puke during

the bike test,” he said with a chuckle.

Mahalak ended up finishing in the top 20 for the Vo2 Bike test that is routinely the most difficult for prospects.

“It’s weird because I was nervous before [the Vo2 Test] began, and then you had all these people watching you on top of it. I was just glad I made it through and did well.”

His love affair with hockey began at a young age. After dabbling in other sports, Mahalak decided life on the ice was the way to go.

“I played a little bit of basketball, but hockey has always been the sport I enjoyed the most,” he said.

Despite playing hockey for most of his youth, it wasn’t until Mahalak entered his teenage years that he realized his passion could be more than a hobby.

“I was playing for a team and we never had a set goalie, and it just ended up being my turn to play in net,” he said.

“I ended up playing really well and it was a situation where people started telling me I needed to play goalie. Even my teammates started wanting me in goal because they realized I could do some things that they couldn’t.”

When getting ready to play in Triple-A hockey, Mahalak said he received a lot of interest from teams. The attention was surreal.

“I just couldn’t figure out what was so special about me. I realized that I could keep going with this if I worked hard.”

After playing a season in the United States Hockey League with the Youngstown Phantoms, Matt joined the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) this season.

Mahalak ‘made it through’ NHL combine, ‘did well’

n

Goalie Matt Mahalak was in the May 30-June 5 NHL Combine in Toronto.

“The speed of the game was difficult to get adjusted to at first. I made some adjustments to my game,” he said.

In the second half of the season, Mahalak posted a .930 save percentage.

“I took the time to get better and I set some goals for myself. I was very proud of the way I finished off the season. Being a backup inspired me to

work that much harder to get better.”

The effort was good enough to earn Mahalak a coveted spot in the NHL combine.

Mahalak has little idea as to where he will end up during the June draft.

“I have interviewed with eight different teams since the combine, but there has been no indication who will

take me either way.

“You just have to sit back and wait,” he said.

Between now and then, Mahalak will continue to work out and stay ready for when his name might be called.

“This has been a great experience, and I am just thankful to be in the position I am at,” he said. O

PHOTO COURTESY NATIONWIDE INSURANCE

The official Nationwide show car is making a pit stop at Groulx Automotive on its way to the Alliance Truck Parts 250 race.

“It’s a big race weekend at Michigan International Speedway,” dealership owner Bobby Groulx said. “It will be a real nice event leading up to that. There’s a huge NASCAR following around us.”

The event is a joint effort be-

tween the dealership and its local Nationwide Insurance representative, Ignazio Cuccia.

“We’re going to partner up on this thing and try to make a real nice event out of it,” Groulx said.

The event is free to the public and will feature a NASCAR simulator, giveaways and concessions such as hot dogs.

Radio stations 94.5 WXKR and 106.5 WLQR will broadcast live from the dealership.

Groulx said he plans to test his skills in the NASCAR simulator and

expects a large attendance. “Based on what we’ve heard, the turnout for these events has reached more than 500 people,” he said.

The show car will be on display June 17 from noon to 5 p.m. Groulx Automotive is located at 15434 South Dixie Hwy. in Monroe. O

Steve martin and the steep canyon rangers will play the Ann Arbor Summer Festival on June 25 at the university of michigan’s power center for the performing Arts.

Martin pickin’ and grinnin’ at Ann Arbor Festival

By Vicki L. Kroll

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer vkroll@toledofreepress.com

Steve Martin and the banjo go way back. How far back? It’s surprising the Smothers Brothers didn’t adopt him and form a trio.

Martin, who won an Emmy for comedy writing for the siblings’ variety show in 1969, featured the five-string instrument in his stand-up act. His 1977 debut album, “Let’s Get Small,” opens with “Ramblin’ Man/Theme From Ramblin’ Man” with the comic clad in the white suit playing and encouraging the audience to sing along.

“I used the banjo onstage during my comedy show in a kind of comedic way and also in a serious way,” he said.

“I always played a serious banjo song at least once during even my highest moment of stand-up.”

The wild and crazy Renaissance guy can’t contain his creativity — comedy, movies, plays, essays, books, bluegrass. Whether he’s writing about art, tossing out a perfectly timed oneliner, bringing down the movie house, or ripping through a clawhammer banjo solo, Martin’s genius is evident.

“When I started [writing music]

again, I felt I was using another part of my brain. I was staving off Alzheimer’s,” the 65-year-old quipped.

His 2009 disc, “The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo,” won a Grammy for best bluegrass album and included Dolly Parton and Vince Gill.

For the follow-up, Martin found five amigos — The Steep Canyon Rangers — guitarist and lead singer Woody Platt, bassist Charles Humphrey, mandolin player Mike Guggino, fiddler Nicky Sanders and banjoist Graham Sharp. Released in March, “Rare Bird Alert” contains 10 new songs penned

by Martin and two he wrote with the band. Paul McCartney and the Dixie Chicks sing on the disc, which includes a tender ballad, a barnburner dance song, and a couple humorous numbers.

Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers will play a sold-out show June 25 at the University of Michigan’s Power Center for the Performing Arts as part of the Ann Arbor Summer Festival. See the complete festival lineup at annarborsummerfestival.org.

The popular performer fielded questions from the media, including Toledo Free Press, in a teleconference and talked about the new CD. How did you pick the banjo?

Martin: When I heard it, I literally could part with my ears the other instruments and just listen to the banjo.

I just loved it, loved the sound of it, both its melancholy aspect and its, you know, dynamic speed. I loved it.

As a comedian, actor and writer, was it easier to be taken seriously as a musician?

Martin: Sometimes when actors try to become musicians, there’s a great resistance. ... There’s something about the banjo, or other instruments, it looks and sounds very difficult. And it is. All instruments are difficult. And so suddenly they’re not laughing, you know, when suddenly you play a three-finger banjo thing at lightning speed. It’s just as simple as that.

I always think: What would I think if I saw David Letterman pick up the violin and play Mozart? I would go, wow, you know, and it was decent.

Would you pay to see him?

Martin: I don’t know about that. It depends. ... I have to have confidence in my own music or honestly I wouldn’t put it out there. I really wouldn’t.

There’s a live version of “King Tut” on the new disc.

Martin: I thought it was a funny idea to do a bluegrass “King Tut.” …

The reason I finally put it on the record was I also want people to know that our live show is fun. That when they come to the live show, it’s not going to be me standing onstage with my back to the audience playing 30 songs in a row, you know, with no comedy.

What’s the story behind “Atheists Don’t Have No Songs” and how has it been received?

Martin: Religious people have this great art and great music, and atheists really don’t have anything. So I thought it’d be really funny to write a hymn for atheists. ... And we decided to try it one night in a show. And in the middle of it, the audience started laughing and we just kind of looked at each other, and we knew we had a new four minutes for our show.

Did Paul McCartney really say you sounded terrible as a singer?

Martin: It wasn’t quite like that. ... He thought I was going to sing [on “Best Love”] and I said, OK, but I’m a terrible singer. And when I got there, he said, when you said you were a terrible singer, I thought you were being humble but you weren’t. No, it was done with a sense of humor.

What was it like working with the Dixie Chicks?

Martin: I jumped at the chance because I know they have great harmony. And the song [“You”] is made for harmonies. ... They did a beautiful job. And they were really delightful to work with. And there was no — you know, one of the rumors on their breakup — well, they all seem to be very, very close friends in the studio.

How has the traditional bluegrass community responded to you, especially as you’re infusing humor into the music?

Martin: I never know what they say behind my back. But to my face it’s been very, very good. ... Almost all the bluegrass shows do comedy. So that’s sort of a tradition.

“The Big Year” movie due this fall is about bird watchers. Is “Rare Bird Alert” a tie-in?

Martin: It doesn’t tie into the film in a kind of commercial way. We were involved in bird watching and the lingo of bird watching and that just seemed like a good title.

What do you like about playing with a band?

Martin: I like the camaraderie of it. I like improving my musicianship. I enjoy doing the comedy portions onstage in small doses. O

It’s been 30 years since The GoGo’s “Beauty and the Beat” bounded up the charts and hit No. 1.

The quintet became the first female band that played its own instruments and wrote its own music to reach that coveted spot on Billboard.

“When we first finished [the album], I was a little bit disappointed in the way it sounded; to me, it didn’t seem as powerful as how I thought we sounded live,” said bass player Kathy Valentine. “I was worried that it just didn’t represent the band very well, but I guess it didn’t really matter. The songs after all this time still get airplay.”

Think “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “We Got the Beat.”

“A good song is well-crafted with memorable melodies and lyrics that resonate with people. That’s the key to any good record,” said Valentine, who wrote “Can’t Stop the World” for the group’s debut and later co-wrote “Vacation” and “Head Over Heels.”

An expanded 30th anniversary edition of “Beauty and the Beat” was released last month. The deluxe edition includes several live tracks.

Valentine, singer Belinda Carlisle, rhythm guitarist Jane Wiedlin, guitarist and keyboardist Charlotte Caffey, and drummer Gina Shock will bring the Ladies Gone Wild Tour to DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Mich., for a 7:30 p.m. show June 16. The B-52s will open. Tickets range from $10 to $42.50.

“There are a lot of misconceptions about The Go-Go’s,” Valentine said during a call from Los Angeles, where the band was rehearsing. “Every time we play, people say, ‘Oh, you’re having a reunion.’ We broke up in ’85 and got back together five years later, and we’ve pretty much been playing on and off all through the ’90s and this decade.” n Go-Go’s CONTINUES ON A27

Valentine, primarily a guitarist, was the last member to join. When asked in 1980, she didn’t play bass.

“I had four days to learn their entire set on bass,” she recalled. “I had to go off of a really crappy-sounding cassette tape of them at rehearsal and live shows; it wasn’t an easy job.”

The Go-Go’s rode the early MTV

wave with memorable videos featuring the band playing in a public fountain and faux water-skiing.

“A band is all about collective energy,” Valentine said. “It is very much like a family. I felt so guarded and so close to the girls; they’re like sisters to me. I felt like I kind of blew off my family and made The Go-Go’s my family for probably four or five years because I was just so wrapped up in it.

Visit www.toledofreepress.com “As far as that still being the case, no, you grow up, your life becomes more fully realized and not so focused on one particular element. Now The Go-Go’s is a part of all of our lives, but it isn’t the focus of any of our lives.”

Valentine has a blues group, The BlueBonnets, and also released a solo disc, “Light Years,” in 2005. And she is putting together a blues disc with several singers.

“When you hear females doing blues, they’re kind of belting out the tunes. What I thought would be interesting to do is bring that music to another kind of delivery,” she said.

Her love for The Go-Go’s is obvious.

“I feel very privileged and very honored to have gotten to participate in a band that made such an impact even though we haven’t always been recognized as much as I think we deserve.” O

Walt Churchill’s Market Welcomes Toft’s Dairy Products!

Two local family-owned businesses working together!

We’ll spice up your life.

Come anytime for a HOT TIME!

Toft’s milk comes from local cows, which means they’re grazing on rich Great Lakes pastureland and their milk travels just a short distance to our processing plant in Sandusky.

Then we rush it to your stores so it’s dairy fresh for you. Toft’s is committed to offer the best possible finished product without the use of artificial growth hormones.

Sylvania Art Trail June 10, 11

Ten Sylvania galleries, studios and exhibits are participating in a Summer Art Trail presented by the Sylvania Community Arts Commission.

The free event will run from 5 to 9 p.m. June 10 and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 11. Stops include Hudson Gallery, American Gallery, Lourdes College art studio, All Good Things Gallery, Ann Tubbs Studio, Frameworks, Fenwick Gallery, Zyndorf Glass & Arts, Art on Central and Sylvania Schools’ art exhibit.

“We’re just trying to get people out on this side of town to appreciate art and get in the galleries and meet some of the people creating art in our area,” said Laura Jakes of the Sylvania Community Arts Commission.

Visitors can start at any location at any time during event hours. Maps can be picked up at any gallery as well as found at the Arts Commission’s website. Directional yard signs will help guests navigate between stops.

Anyone who visits at least six locations can turn in a signed checklist at any location to be entered into a drawing for a piece of clay ceramic artwork by artist Tom Marino.

For more information, visit www. sylvaniaarts.org or call (419) 517-0118.
