s reported in the Toledo Free Press by Senior Business Reporter Duane Ramsey, Northwest Ohio is seeing major growth in its role as a distribution center for retailers, manufacturers and shippers, primarily due to its geographic location and access to multiple transportation modes. “The region includes the crossroads of the Midwest with the intersection of I-75 running north-south and I-80/I-90 going east-west. It also has railroads running in all directions with CSX and Norfolk Southern lines that connect to the Port of Toledo for seaport shipments,” Ramsey wrote. He focused on Calphalon Corporation, based in Perrysburg, which recently opened a new distribution center on Route 25 just south of Route 582 in Middleton Township in Wood County. Calphalon is operating out of the 363,000-squarefoot facility on a 50-acre site. Ramsey also wrote that Home Depot currently operates a rapid deployment center in Van Buren north of Findlay that employs about 350 associates; FedEx Freight opened a ground freight regional distribution center in 2009 that serves routes in Ohio and Michigan; and UPS operates the Toledo Hub facility in Maumee, a link in its hub and spoke Thomas F. Pounds system that routes shipments from local operating centers to centralized hubs for sorting. Other distribution centers include: O Menards operates a 1.3-million-square-foot distribution center in Holiday City, located just off the Ohio Turnpike in Williams County. The facility serves Menards stores in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana as one of four distribution centers for the company based in Eau Claire, Wis. O The Findlay area is also home to several large distribution centers for retailers such as Best Buy and Kohl’s. O Lowe’s operates a 1.25-million-square-foot regional distribution center in Findlay that employs 650 workers. It is the equivalent of having about 28 football fields under one roof, according to company officials. O Best Buy operates a 1-million square-foot distribution center located on County Road 212 in Findlay. Opened in 1996, the facility employs 300 people and serves 177 stores in Ohio and seven other states. O Kohl’s Department Stores has a 780,000-square-foot distribution center located on County Road 140 in Findlay that employs 400 associates. It is one of 10 Kohl’s distribution centers in the U.S. and serves stores in Ohio, Michigan, parts of Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia. O Hercules Tire & Rubber Company, based in Findlay, operates a Tire Dealer’s Warehouse (TDW) distribution center there. TDW, a full-service tire wholesaler, is one of four divisions of the company that celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2012. O Michigan-based retailer Meijer operates a large distribution center off I-75 in Newport, Mich. It serves Meijer stores in southeast Michigan and northern Ohio. The company operates another distribution center in Tipp City, Ohio, just north of Dayton. This is a prime example of our region turning potential into reality. The distribution center momentum is a crucial building block in our growth and one our local development officials are wise to continue courting. O Thomas F.

GUEST COLUMN

Hoeflingers: A second letter to all teenagers The risks of drinking

By Brian and Cindy Hoeflinger Special to Toledo Free Press

W

e want to start this letter by telling you a little bit about our son Brian. As you may know, he died about four months ago in an alcohol-related car accident. He had been drinking vodka at a party with friends the night he died and ended up driving intoxicated. What you don’t know about Brian is that he was not known for drinking. Drinking was the least of what Brian stood for. After much inquiry following his death, it turns out he started drinking alcohol this past summer just before starting his senior year of high school at a new school. Since his death, we have spent many sleepless nights wondering why he felt the need to start drinking. Brian was a very confident person and didn’t seem to give in to peer pressure. If he had something to say, he would say it and not worry about what others thought. But something changed his mind about drinking. Was it that everybody was doing it or that he thought it would be a new fun experience? Was it trying to fit in at a new school or trying to look cool? Or was it a little bit of all of these things? As a teenager, you would probably know better than us because you may be going through the same thing right now or may have gone through this in the past. We also want you to know that Brian was against drinking and driving. Given that Brian was 18 years old, we had no reason not to believe that he was starting to experiment with alcohol. We knew that he was most likely starting to drink occasionally, thus we would talk to him about drinking, especially the dangers of drinking and driving. He would often tell us that he would never drink and drive and thought it was irresponsible and selfish. He would say, “I’m not that stupid, Mom.” But when alcohol is involved, you can’t make good decisions. Your good intentions turn into bad decisions. Brian made a bad decision that night and it cost him his life. We think Brian thought drinking was innocent enough when done in a controlled environment with friends. What could happen? Well, we all know how that story turned out. Dying in a horrific car accident alone was not what Brian was expecting that Friday night. He was just having fun with friends. No harm in a little fun, right? He even wore his seat belt when he left the party that night. But what he underestimated were the effects of alcohol. You cannot make good decisions when you drink alcohol! That one statement should mean everything to you and be seared into your mind forever. At your age, you don’t think anything bad can happen to you. It can. You feel invincible. You’re not. We’re being brutally honest with you about our son Brian because we don’t want you to make the same mistake that he did. Good kids will continue to be injured and die as long as teenage drinking continues.

June 16, 2013

BRIAN HOEFLINGER

The No. 1 cause of death

Alcohol-related accidents are the No. 1 cause of death in teenagers. An average of 80,000 deaths per year are related to drinking. Teenagers who binge drink are 14 times more likely to drink and drive than those who do not. Statistics show that on average one person will die every 53 minutes and one person will be injured every 90 seconds as a result of drinking and driving. Nothing can ever change these statistics unless someone tries to change the way we view alcohol and teenage drinking. Nearly 80 percent of all students have tried alcohol by the end of high school and 62 percent of all seniors have been drunk. Twenty five percent of ninth-graders and 50 percent of 10th-graders have been drunk. One in five teens binge drink. Only one in 100 parents believes his or her teen binge drinks.

Setting the example

Drinking has become a way of life for many in high school. Did you know that 90 percent of alcoholics first start drinking as teenagers? All of you have the power to say no to alcohol. But you have to want to. Let us tell you that each of you has it within yourself to be a leader and say no to alcohol. If enough of you make a stand against teenage drinking and say no, then others will follow. When enough people follow your lead, then the minority will eventually become the majority. Only then will change happen. So make it your goal to stop drinking and set the example for others to stop. Especially set an example for your junior classmates as they are so influenced by your actions and what you do. If you stop drinking then they most likely will, too. Trust us, it will happen. But someone has to start this trend. Be a leader and let it be you. Take a pledge against drinking alcohol to show others that change can happen. Help your younger classmates not to start drinking by setting a good example for them. Parents can have an impact but it is limited.

As Brian’s parents, we talked on many occasions with him about the risks of drinking. With a neurosurgeon for a father and a forensic pathologist for a mother, he had heard many graphic horror stories of people who been seriously injured or died as a result of alcohol. And despite this, it happened to him, which leads us to believe that children will only listen so much to their parents. You have to change from within yourselves as a group. You have the power to influence each other much more regarding social matters than a parent ever can. If the people who drink in high school would say that it is no longer cool to drink, then drinking would quickly taper down and eventually stop. But you need to take a stand against drinking and set an example for the younger students. By making this change, you are not only helping yourself but you are helping to protect your younger brother or sister from the pressure they will eventually face to drink. And for those of you who don’t drink, we applaud your courage to stand up for what you believe in. You are making a difference for the better every day. To this end, we have created a memorial website for our son Brian. The website has many articles, pictures, quotes and videos which exemplify Brian’s personality as well as his many achievements. There is a donation page with a direct link to Brian’s memorial fund which will ultimately be used to benefit charitable organizations or even to assist with alcohol abuse prevention in the future. Lastly, we have posted a pledge sheet against drinking for teens to sign. If you want to help make a difference and start saving lives, then show everyone that you are not afraid to change the way things are by taking the pledge against teenage drinking. Remember, change can only happen if you take the charge to make it happen. We want to leave you with a few quotes my son Brian wrote. The first quote was to a family who had lost their son in a tragic car accident approximately one year ago. He wrote, “Tragedy hits at the most random times but mainly to just remind us of all the wonderful things we have in this life. Sometimes it happens to good people, but God chooses them for a reason.” Maybe Brian’s reason will be to stop teenage drinking. He also wrote, “Even the smallest of accomplishments is greatly appreciated in the eyes of a positive person because it’s another step in the right direction.” You may not think that you can make a difference by yourself, but even the smallest accomplishment of one can lead to positive change. Lastly and most importantly, he wrote, “The No. 1 concern should be doing what makes you happy.” We think in part, Brian was trying to say to be your own person and not what you think other people want you to be. Please don’t drink just to fit in. “Just be you!” Sign our pledge against teenage drinking which can be found on www.brianmatters.com. Thanks for reading this and be the one to make a difference! O

I wept for that room of 6- and 7-yearold children, who spent the last moments of their lives panicked, screaming in terror and confusion, cries for moms, dads and teachers unanswered. And that grief stayed with me the next time I comforted my sons with the words, “Everything’s going to be all right.” For I knew that every one of those Sandy Hook Elementary children had heard the same promise, countless times, from wellmeaning parents who believed the words as they said them. How many times did Andrew, Alexander and Tanner Skelton hear those words? How many times did Ke’Ondra Hooks hear those words? How many times did Brian Hoeflinger hear those words? How many times did Martin Richard hear those words? How many times did Kaitlin Gerber hear those words? How many times did the children at Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, Okla., hear those words? How many times did Elaina Steinfurth hear those words? If I know that those words, no matter how much effort I put into believing them, are ultimately a lie, how do I go on saying them? I know the deceptions around the childhood myths will end, and my boys will probably be ready for that transition before I am. But that ultimate lie, “Everything will be all right,” mocks my efforts to do everything I can to keep my children safe and sound. And yet, when I hold them, soothe their hurt feelings and dress their wounds, I still believe that lie, as I must if I am going to sell it to them. And knowing they believe it — for now — perpetuates the life cycle of the words, as they leave my lips and enter their ears. And as I love them, and they return that love — for now — I understand that when I say “Everything is going to be all right,” I am not lying, because I do not mean “ … for now.” Because despite the lightning strikes of stray bullets, aimed bullets, pressure cookers packed with explosives, tornadoes and bad choices that offer no second chances, my faith in God offers the hope that everything will be all right. Not here, not with jackals like Adam Lanza and Ariel Castro personifying satanic chaos. But forever, in the light of eternal love and hope, I believe everything will be all right. I know I cannot protect my sons from everything, but I can prepare them for anything by instilling in them the message that there is more to life than our corporeal state, that there is hope, that there is love, that no matter what happens to us on Earth, there will be a state of spiritual being in which everything … will … be … all … right. That sounds more like a prayer than a truth, which may be the greatest testament to faith — and ultimate truth — I can offer. O Michael S. Miller is editor in chief of Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star. Contact him at mmiller@toledofreepress.com.

FATHER’S DAY

By Brandi Barhite

TOLEDO FREE PRESS COMMUNITY OMBUDSMAN bbarhite@toledofreepress.com

You would think being the father of six adopted children would mean extra love for Craig Schuele on Father’s Day. What it really means is another busy day with no time to reflect on becoming a father of six in a two-year period. “I get a lot of love all the time. They are really great kids. Obviously, we have our moments and we have our days, but Father’s Day is just like every other day. We might have a soccer game; we might have a baseball game. It might be the only free day I have that weekend and I might have to cut the grass, and obviously that hasn’t happened in a while,” he said, laughing. Laughter comes easy in this household. Their yellow lab sneezes. The girls, 11-year-old Micki and 10-year-old Hannah, erupt in loud giggles. Baxter sneezes again; the girls scream in delight. “Shhh,” Craig said gently as he tried to answer questions (and hide his laughter). They giggle again. They can’t help it; the dog’s sneezes are funny. Gathered in the tidy family room, one kid is eating chips, another is doing flips and two are fiddling with their iPods. It seems like everyone is trying to sit on the same couch, even though there are two other couches for lounging. It is a typical Friday afternoon in the Schuele household. The kids, ages 8-12, are with Craig and their stepmom, Andrea, this weekend. Whenever Craig has them, they have family night on Fridays. The six kids rotate in pairs. One will pick dinner; one will pick an activity. And yes, they always complain about what’s for dinner. All six of them can never

like something at the same time. But 36-year-old Craig takes everything in stride. He tunes out what he knows is innocent fun; his Dad radar perks up when he senses trouble. He loves going to their soccer games and recitals. He organizes his work schedule so he can pick them up from school. In the summer, he has a rotating schedule of babysitters and even takes vacation days if no one can help. As a family, they play Jeopardy!, “The Schuele Edition.” They ask questions about birthdays, vacations and other details you might forget as a member of such a large family. “When we go out to eat, people ask if we are having a birthday party,” Andrea said. “Or people ask if this is a day care,” Craig said. “Especially when two white people take six black kids out. They think this must be a school.”

Becoming a dad overnight

The makings of this large family began more than a decade ago when Craig and his then-wife, Beth, decided to adopt because they couldn’t have children at the time. Adoption was a natural choice because Craig himself was adopted through Lutheran Social Services. He appreciated the gift of adoption and wanted to continue the tradition. Once they decided to adopt through Lucas County Children Services (LCCS), their family grew rapidly. The need is usually great. In 2012, 109 children received new adoptive families through LCCS. Right now, LCCS is looking for families for about 40 children, including several groups of brothers and sisters. In October 2002, the Schueles got a call about 4-day-old Gabe. In January,

they got a call about 26-month-old Zeke. The day they were supposed to meet him, they got another call about an infant. They went to the hospital and picked up Hannah, who was 5 days old. They finally met Zeke in March. “Within five months, we got three kids. At that point we said, ‘We are full, but we will consider a sibling.’ In a lot of these cases, these birth mothers have multiple kids,” Craig said. His family was about to get bigger. In January 2004, Micki was picked up during a drug raid. The 20-monthold was there hanging out in a diaper. Micki and Zeke have the same mother. In December 2004, the same mom had twins, Jake and Nate. They probably have different fathers because

they are four weeks apart in gestational age, Craig said. The Schueles took them all, going from no kids to six kids in two years and three months. “We wanted a couple, probably not six,” he said. “I am an only child. My ex-wife only had one sibling.” The only way he can describe those early days is “wild, just wild.” Five out of six were in car seats at the same time. All the babies were exposed to a combination of drugs and alcohol. Gabe had withdrawal symptoms after he was born with cocaine and alcohol in his system. Even today, all of them have some issues ranging from anxiety to depression to ADHD. Physically he is great,

Big family, big problems

Craig and his wife split in December 2006. They had married young; they had grown apart. While some might say, “Why did you adopt all of those kids and get divorced?” Craig said he hasn’t heard that a lot. “People are more often like, ‘You have six kids? You have six adopted kids? That is amazing. How do you do it? What do you drive?’” He does it with help from family and by being organized, thanks to his new wife Andrea, whom he married in October 2009. n FATHER CONTINUES ON 7

n FATHER CONTINUED FROM 6 Craig and his ex-wife share custody. He has them Wednesday and Thursday and every other weekend. Conveniently, they remain in the Sylvania Schools no matter where they are staying that night. The kids are becoming more independent. But with that comes more sporting events and extracurricular activities that require transportation. Even on the days Craig doesn’t have his kids, he sees them. Soccer schedules aren’t built around custody agreements. Craig works for Monroe County and flexes his schedule to pick them up from school in his nine-seat Suburban. Andrea works for Harbor, a mental health provider, and also adjusts her schedule as needed. It is good if they can both be at home on school nights. “If it is just me, I am driving to activities and I can’t be doing homework,” Craig said. Family is a big help, especially when it comes to hand-me-downs, splitting ticket costs for the kids’ first-

ever trip to Cedar Point and buying them iPods for Christmas. “Coordinating sitters and child care has always been a bit more complicated than it would be with just two or three — not many people out there are brave enough or capable to watch all six at once,” Craig said. During the summer, Craig’s mother, his ex-wife’s mother and Andrea’s stepmom help with babysitting. Craig’s mom, Barb Malkoski, said when she watches the kids they try to do an activity. Recently, they signed up for the library’s summer reading program. After the library, they got free games and movie rentals at Family Video because of a promotion that rewarded the kids for their good grades. Much of the furniture in Craig’s five-bedroom house is from when his mom downsized. She is happy to help. “We are very proud of how he is raising them and the standards he has set for them and himself,” she said. When it comes to groceries, it is hard not to cringe. When Andrea first

met Craig she couldn’t believe how much he had in the cart at Sam’s Club — and it was only two weeks’ worth of stuff. On average, he spends $500 a month, and that is keeping it lean. Needless to say, it is rare for the family to have leftovers. However, before you have leftovers, you need to determine where everyone is going to sit. That is a fiasco. “Make sure you don’t put the wrong two people together,” Craig said. “We had to find a big enough table first. Most tables sit six people.” The chore chart is essential. Everyone has a duty: laundry, picking up toys, emptying the dishwasher. “It isn’t about getting paid. It is a responsibility for being part of a bigger family,” Craig said. “We rotate chores every six months. Someone always complains about having to take out the trash for six months, but they deal with it for six months.” He is proud when people come over, survey the neat house and say, “You have six kids?”

Candor

Craig doesn’t skirt around the race question. He and his ex-wife didn’t care what race they adopted. As it turned out, they ended up with all black children. The kids label their skin color by food: caramel, dark chocolate and brown sugar. Their parents are vanilla, Micki said, laughing. His second marriage is a source of pride for Craig; he found a woman brave enough to marry a man with six adopted children. Andrea, then only 24, met Craig when she was working at nonprofit Michigan Works! She thought he was cute, but a co-worker said, “That is a lot of baggage.” On their first date, he picked her up in his pickup. She said, “Where do you put them?” He said, “In the trunk.” She knew he had kids; she didn’t know until dinner he had six. She said, “Yeah, let’s just be friends.” But that only lasted a few months. Andrea actually fell in love with him because of his fatherly ways.

“The first time my stomach flipped for him was when we were on the phone and he was trying to get the kids to bed. He said, ‘Hold on a second. I got two little midgets peeking at me.’ I heard the little twins giggle. It was a touching moment.”

Father knows best

Craig said all his children know about their birth parents. They have asked questions and he anticipates they will want to know more eventually. He tells them they couldn’t stay with their parents because of safety; it wasn’t a good environment for kids. Micki said when people ask about her birth parents, she is matter of fact. “I tell them that I don’t know much now, but I am adopted and I have a white family.” What she does know is: “My dad is great. He is really nice and helpful.” Most times she enjoys being a member of a large family. “Sometimes I don’t really want siblings and other times I really love them and really want them. It can be fun.” Who annoys her the most? She points to Zeke and everyone laughs. Zeke said he gets annoyed, too. When everyone comes to his soccer game, they just run around and don’t watch. Craig said it makes him feel good to think about the difference he is making as their father. “You think about where they could have been growing up. They wouldn’t nearly have the opportunities they have had. They are all excellent at something.” Zeke, 12, plays soccer. Micki, 11, dances and acts. Hannah, 10, plays tennis and does art. Gabe, 10, is a gymnast. Nate, 8, plays soccer. Jake, 8, plays baseball and football. Dean Sparks, executive director of LCCS, said growing a family from no kids to six is admirable. “Adopted kids are your own kids, just like your birth children. You get attached to them. You spend your life guiding them to grow up to be the best they can be.” Sparks said being a good father isn’t just about providing food and shelter; it’s also offering guidance like Craig does. “We have six children who have a much better chance at stability in life, to be better citizens and to have a forever family,” Sparks said. And on Father’s Day, Craig should take a moment to remember this. “I am proud that I am able to give them that chance, even with six of them,” Craig said. Someday there might even be seven. Craig and Andrea want to have a baby together. “The possibility exists for us,” he said with a smile. O

Children giggle and shout as they pump their feet against the ground. In pairs, they hold brightly decorated cardboard “cars” around their waists and jostle down the track. Parents laugh as the children bump, skip and tumble their way to the finish line. Basically, eventgoers can expect a great time at The Friendly Center’s inaugural Boxcar Grand Prix on June 23, said Debrah Harleston, office manager at The Friendly Center. “We wanted to do something different, something innovative,” she said. “We try to think out of the box. We try to think of things that will bring families together.” Harleston expects about 100 people to attend its boxcar event. Local businesses and families can sponsor the young racers to cover their cardboard and entry fees. Winners of different heats as well as the best-designed boxcars will receive prizes. “It’s not about winning the race,” Harleston said. “It’s about taking a piece of cardboard and working as a team to have a finished product.” Music, food and activities such as cake walks and face painting will round out the afternoon of racing. Entry is free, but a meal ticket costs $10. “This is something fun for the entire family,” Harleston said. The Friendly Center has served North Toledo since 1923. Their services include a basketball camp, Cub Scouts, outreach to seniors as well as health, music and financial education for the community. “It’s fulfilling, it’s humbling and it’s an awakening because a lot of us who are working here have been in situations such as our neighbors,” Harleston said. “The face of our neighbor looks like us. That is the person in need, whether it’s hygiene products or food or eye care. Those people that come in here look like you and I.” Just after Harleston began working for The Friendly Center she began to see its impact. An electrical repairman came in to do a job that cost $500, but was so moved by their service he didn’t charge anything. “He came in and said, ‘Wow, my daughter came to The Friendly Center for about eight years when she was young. It was a really tough time in her life,’” Harleston said. “He walked around and came back and took care of the issue we originally called him for at no charge because he said, ‘My

services can’t compare to what you did for my daughter. My daughter is doing well now,’ and he said it was because she had a cushion. It’s an experience that I will never forget.” Owned by the United Methodist Church, The Friendly Center also provides basic needs such as food and toiletries to people struggling to get back on their feet in the community. “When our neighbors decide they want to experience different opportunities in their life, this is the first place we want them to come,” said Executive Director Amelia Gibbon. Harleston said someone will come in weekly to thank The Friendly Center for its help. These people often give back to the organization. “A woman comes up to the center and says, ‘Could you guys use about

25 bags of food?’” Harleston said. “She said, ‘Four months ago, I was in here getting food as part of your emergency food program. Now me and my husband are working and going to school and our children have a stable place to go with your afterschool program.’” The Friendly Center hopes the boxcar fundraiser will help its staff continue to serve the community they love. “It’s heart wrenching,” Harleston said. “I worked in corporate America for 25 years. I’m not a softy, but something tears at your heartstrings every day. It is sad that you have to push for dollars. You have to push for money every day.” The Boxcar Grand Prix is 1-4 p.m. June 23 at the Swan Creek Metropark, 4659 Airport Hwy. O

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Diane Miscannon said bikers have “the biggest hearts on the face of the earth.” On July 13, the biking community will rally for the annual Detective Keith Dressel Memorial Ride. The bikers will depart from Oscar Bunch UAW/GM Powertrain Park in Toledo. The event aims to raise funds for the Officer William Miscannon Scholarship Fund in Memory of Keith Dressel at Owens Community College while honoring two deceased members of the Toledo Police Department. Dressel was shot and killed while trying to stop a drug deal in February 2007 and Miscannon, Diane’s father, was shot and killed during a riot in 1970. While the ride was established to honor Dressel and Miscannon, both families said the event is also a celebration. “It’s a big party, a reunion of sorts,” said Diane, who was 10 when her father died. “I get to hear about my dad from

people that knew him, and that helps honor his memory,” she added. Larraine Dressel, Keith’s mother, said the best part of the ride is Keith being remembered. “That’s a worry you have, that all the good will be forgotten, but he’s being remembered and [the ride is] doing good,” she said. Larraine said she appreciates the opportunity for Keith’s children, stepdaughter Sydney and son Noah, to hear about their father. “They were so young when Keith died. The ride is great for them to see all of the support they have and learn about their dad,” she said. Sydney, now 12, and Noah, 10, usually ride as passengers or in sidecars on the motorcycles of officers. Each year, a police escort leads an average of 300 riders through the Toledo area. After the ride, the group gathers for lunch at the park. While the course and distance varies, the ride always goes past Ontario Street in Toledo’s North End where Keith was shot. “The neighborhood is out in support, waving flags, cheering. Some wear shirts with Keith’s name on

them. They are all very respectful. It’s touching,” Miscannon said. All funds raised from the ride go to the scholarship fund started at Owens Community College to recognize Dressel and Miscannon. Established in 2008, the scholarship is awarded annually to one outstanding law enforcement student at the college. To apply for the $1,500 award, students complete an essay application. Now in its seventh year, the ride

was first planned by friends and colleagues of Dressel in the months following his death. Oregon Police Officer Sara Shaw said the ride gave a way for the community to mourn Dressel, the first TPD member to die in the line of duty in more than 30 years. “It was very surreal for the community to lose an officer again,” said Shaw, who helps organize the memorial ride. The community is what makes the

ride so special, Shaw said. “It’s not just about Keith and William. It’s a way to support all of the officers who have lost their lives. It’s about honoring this profession. As much as this job takes up your life, it brings us all together, too.” Larraine said the support of the police community helps her family cope with Keith’s death. “It’s neat to see the way the guys in blue support each other,” she said. “It’s like great big wings came over and just scooped your family up. They took care of us. Still do.” All community members are invited and encouraged to participate in the annual memorial ride. Motorcycles are the most common vehicle, but Larraine said many ride scooters or other smaller, motorized bikes Registration is $25 per individual or $35 for a rider and passenger, and can be completed at www.rideforkeith. com, or starting at 9 a.m. July 13 at Oscar Bunch UAW/GM Powertrain Park, 5411 Jackman Road.

Red Cross benefit CD features summer tunes By Evan Brune

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer ebrune@toledofreepress.com

The proceeds from “Red, White & You,” a CD featuring songs of summer by Northwest Ohio artists, will benefit the American Red Cross disaster relief fund. The CD, which was released June 15, can be purchased for $10 at Frisch’s Big Boy, Ralphie’s and area KeyBank locations. The album also comes with a $4 coupon for use at any Frisch’s Big Boy or Ralphie’s. The CDs feature 23 artists with local roots, including Pat Dailey, Crystal Bowersox and Chrys Peterson, singing classic summer songs. “Put-In-Bay,” “Help Me Rhonda” and “August in

Ohio” are a few songs in the lineup. Hollywood Casino Toledo will host a free concert in the H Lounge from 7-10 p.m. June 27, featuring acts who contributed to the CD. Carmen Miller, Highbinder, Nine Lives, The Bradberries, Matt Sayers, Arctic Clam and Throw It To Erie will perform. Michael S. Miller, editor in chief of Toledo Free Press, organized the project, which comes on the heels of two holiday CDs benefiting Make-A-Wish. “This CD is more about summer fun, car rides and backyard barbecues,” Miller said. The album offers individuals a chance to sample a variety of local artists. “We’re not only raising money, but

The

we’re also showing off local talent,” Miller said. “I’d stake our local musicians up against any other city’s, and these CDs are proof of it.”

The album also features Alyson Stoner, Kerry Patrick Clark, goLab, Kyle White, The Sanderlings featuring Scott Hunt, Mike “Mad Dog” Adams, Eddie

Boggs, Buck69, The Reese Dailey Band, Old State Line, Jeff Stewart and Milano. There is also a special track featuring Toledo Mud Hens fans. O

14 Health Zone SENIORS

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer charper@toledofreepress.com

While the rest of Toledo slept in or watched Saturday morning cartoons, more than 200 older athletes sprinted down the track, hurled javelins and did the long jump at the 50+ Sports Classic. Athletes 50 years old and older competed in a wide array of track and field, swimming and other events June 8 at St. Francis de Sales High School. “Watching the participants develop friendships and seeing them have some fun while getting some exercise with others is inspiring,” said Justin Moor, spokesperson for the Area Office on Aging of Northwest Ohio. “The event draws family members and friends of the participants who come to cheer on the participants as they go for the gold.” Mary-Chris Kay epitomizes the over-the-hill athlete. Her alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. on a typical Tuesday morning and she hops in the car for a 25-minute drive to Sylvania, where her master swim coach is waiting with a smile and a workout that would crush the average adult. “I’ve been blessed, that’s for sure,” Kay said. “I enjoy trying to do something better than I think I can.” Kay swims four or five days a week and spends two hours a week doing yoga and two more on Pilates as well as a weekly TRX core workout. “I love trying to get better at what I do,” Kay said. “The human body can do so much more than we think it can and I love to challenge myself to see if I can still do it.” Kay qualified for the national senior competition in the 50-meter dash, javelin, triple long jump, 50and 100-meter butterfly, 50-and 100meter freestyle, 50-meter breaststroke and 100-meter individual medley. At the 50+ Senior Classic, Kay won gold in the 50-, 100-, and 200-meter freestyle. She also took first in the 100meter butterfly, javelin and long jump. “It’s rewarding when you work hard and you are able to meet a challenge,” Kay said. Kay suffered an injury last August that made it painful to walk and impossible to train for five months. “It was terrible,” she said. “It was bordering on depression. I’m very grateful now. I thank God every day that I can swim and I can move. We see a lot of people sidelined with injuries so we are very grateful to continue to press on.” The competitors are divided into

age categories of five-year increments. Events include track and field events, swimming, tennis, volleyball, table tennis, horseshoes, bowling, golf, basketball and more. “There are sons and daughters that come and watch and cheer them on,” Moor said. “It’s a kind of role reversal. When they were in Little League there were moms and dads watching and cheering them on but now they’re cheering their parents on.” John Florian took gold in table tennis. He is 85 years old and has played table tennis for 73 years. Now, he uses the sport to keep in touch with his son, whom he plays with three times a month. “I’ve been playing it since I was 12 years old and I love the game,” Florian said. “Most of my life, if I see a pingpong table I find someone to play with.” Terry Mohler is 83 years old and won gold in the 200-meter, silver in the 100-meter, gold in the 400meter, and silver in the shot put. He stays in shape by running with the Toledo Roadrunners, a running club open to all ages. “I think I’m the senior member,” Mohler said. “[The 50+ Classic] is fun. It’s good to get those old guys together and gals too and get all charged up. Many of the people that I compete with I’ve known for years. It’s like a reunion.” O

Stroke Prevention David Paolini, MD Stroke is brain damage caused when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted either from a clot in an artery or rupture of blood vessels. A mini stroke, or transient ischemic attack (TIA), lasts seconds up to one day. TIAs can be a significant warning sign of a major stroke. In the United States, stroke is the third leading cause of death. Fortunately, studies have shown that 80% of strokes can be prevented by making lifestyle changes and working with your healthcare provider to lower your risk.

n Athletes

older than 50 are eligible for THE games, which occured JUNE 8.

Your risk factors increase if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and/or diabetes, or if you smoke. These risks can be minimized by making lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, quitting smoking, and taking medication to lower your high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and controlling your sugar if diabetic. Under special circumstances, stroke can be prevented with surgical therapy. Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure that removes plaque from the blood vessels in your neck. This operation is the most effective way to prevent and reduce any potential chance of a stroke. If you have one or more of the risk factors, please talk with your physician about stroke prevention.

I

n the past 12 months, my clientele has included two people who were kept in the hospital for more than seven days only to discover they were never actually admitted as patients, but were considered to be there for “observation.” This continues to occur despite

Health Zone 15

Observation versus inpatient status

the volumes of literature stating Medicare frowns on observation lasting more than 48 hours. When a doctor writes an order to admit a patient, that’s where things used to end; now it is just the beginning of a review, re-review and re-re-

review process. Medicare intermediary companies are often hired by hospitals to review their admission criteria in order to avoid misclassifying patients and being fined thousands of dollars. The risk of fines and penalties increases as Medicare continues to try

to cut costs in any way possible. Every day that the patient is in the hospital his or her chart is reviewed to ensure their status is appropriate for billing. While still in the hospital, before billing has occurred, a patient’s status can be changed to observation or inpatient, but once a patient has been discharged there is little recourse for a family to apDebra peal the decision. The care a person receives under observation is the same as inpatient status; the hospital receives no benefit by keeping patients under observation. In fact, hospitals lose thousands of dollars because they cannot bill Medicare Part A for the hospital stay. Procedures can be billed under Part B. Generally, a three-day hospital stay qualifies a Medicare recipient for up to 100 days of “skilled” care in a nursing or rehab facility to regain strength and hopefully return home to live. However, in the past 10 years, Medicare has deemed up to 32 percent of hospital stays as observation rather than inpatient admissions. The clients who contacted me were faced with a humiliating and costly dilemma; they had to pay privately for inpatient rehabilitation because they had never been admitted to the hospital. Fortunately, the first client was already eligible for Medicaid — although the client was not aware of that eligibility until we met. Had we not had a conversation in a timely manner, they may have been faced with huge bills from the facility or felt pressured to make the less appropriate decision of going home prematurely and not receiving the care they needed and deserved.

The second client had a family savvy enough to work with the rehab facility to negotiate a daily rate equitable to long-term care rather than skilled care (a difference of more than $150 per day). However, the client still had a large out-of-pocket expense Medicare would have (should have) covered had hospitalization been considered inpatient care. ROIDL U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio has spearheaded a bill to stop the practice. “When seniors are transferred from a hospital to a nursing home for further care they should be able to focus on their recovery instead of red tape that could lead to sky high medical bills,” Brown said. “The Improving Access to Medicare Coverage Act would help ensure seniors receive the care they need without incurring unexpected and unfair costs.” The Center for Medicare Advocacy together with the National Senior Citizens Law Center filed a class action suit, pending since 2010, regarding the practice. Most disturbing in this lawsuit document is the statement that “neither the term observation status or any comparable term appears in either the Medicare statute or regulations.” The center has a packet for families at www.medicareadvocacy.org, called “Self Help packet for Medicare ‘Observation Status.”’ Stay informed. Ask questions, and contact your legislators to end this unfair and inconsistent practice. O Debra Roidl, MSW, is a licensed independent social worker and certified care manager.

BUSINESS

By Duane Ramsey TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER dramsey@toledofreepress.com

After learning many college racing teams can’t afford certain tools due to strict budgets, IMCO Carbide Tool of Perrysburg stepped up and provided tools as well as technical assistance to several teams, including the University of Toledo’s. The business also hosted the inaugural IMCO Invitational on May 6 as a preliminary event for the International Formula SAE (FSAE) competition at Michigan International Speedway (MIS), held May 8-11. “It’s like a dress rehearsal for the MIS event,” said Matt Osburn, vice president of IMCO. “The teams put their cars through the paces without serious competition,” said Steve Avers, application support team leader at IMCO. Formula racing competitions are held annually for college teams, sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). In the FSAE competition, engineering students at schools around the world work to design and build a new race car each year. The college teams solicit donations from companies that will help them build the race cars from kits. College teams have strict rules and budgets for materials and tools. The teams are responsible for recruiting sponsors and developing supplier relationships. IMCO first became involved by providing cutting tools and technical assistance for the Hardrocker Racing program at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT) in 2012. IMCO received more contacts from schools for tools and began helping the Rocket Motorsports team at UT. In the past, IMCO hosted some of the teams at its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Perrysburg. Company officials were so delighted with the ongoing relationships they decided to expand the idea, Osburn said.

“We wanted to do something that would bring the students together here, just to meet each other, talk and have a little fun before they head up to the FSAE competition at MIS,” Osburn said. “Matt came up with the idea of having an invitational race. We randomly pick four or five schools from a wide range of areas to compete in several events in competition for fun,” Avers said. IMCO invited five teams to the inaugural event in May, including Hardrocker Racing from SDSMT, Rocket Motorsports from UT, Bearcat Motorsports from the University of Cincinnati, Illini Motorsports from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Formula ETS of Montreal, Quebec. The Illinois team was unable to attend and the Montreal team canceled due to technical problems but made it to the international event at MIS. So, an invitation was extended to FEI Racing, a 10-member team from São Paulo, Brazil, that UT was hosting for the international event. IMCO provided the teams from Toledo, Illinois, South Dakota and Montreal with a care package of tools including carbide end mills and related materials, valued at $3,000$4,000. The Cincinnati team declined IMCO’s offer because its car was already finished. “By the time IMCO contacted us, we were already done but we didn’t want to miss the events. We’re here to build a relationship for next year,” said Matt Davis, a UC senior. The tools came with offers of technical support from Avers and his staff at IMCO. The teams called or emailed Avers for technical assistance leading up to the two events in May. The inaugural IMCO Invitational was held at the Center for Emergency Preparedness at Owens Community College, where emergency responders learn safe driving practices. The IMCO Invitational featured four events: a sprint for the fastest time in 100 yards, slalom weaving between cones, long obstacle course

with chicanes and Chicago boxes, and a double figure eights as well as an endurance competition, which combined all four events. FEI Racing placed first with a race car that was “head and shoulders over the rest and definitely the top car of the day,” Osburn said. Rocket Motorsports placed second; Bearcat Motorsports, third; and Hardrocker Racing from SDSMT, fourth. Marcus Hamann of the Brazilian team said they hope to develop a sponsor relationship with IMCO. Osburn said he hopes the team is able to come back for next year’s events. The Rocket Motorsports team began building the chassis in January for the open-wheel, formulastyle race car powered by a fourcylinder Honda motorcycle engine. “IMCO’s tooling was outstanding

and allowed us to cut parts in about one third of the time,” said Dale Hamberg, a senior mechanical engineering student at UT who serves as team leader for Rocket Motorsports. Hamberg said the car weighs 430 pounds, can go from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and reaches 90 mph. A team of eight to 10 students built 90 percent of the car in the machine shop located on the UT Engineering campus. “It’s very time-consuming and takes complete dedication,” said Hamberg, who is from Coldwater, Ohio. He plans to lead the UT team in 2014 as well. “We hope to do it again next year. We just enjoy getting the teams together. We get a chance to meet and mingle with the engineering students,” Osburn said.

“It’s nice to get that exposure and see IMCO tools playing a role in their designs’ development. It plants the seeds to grow business relationships with people we hope will be the next generation of our customers. Fifty potential customers come here every year and have a great experience,” he said. IMCO Carbide Tool was founded in 1977 by Larry Osburn. He turned the business over to his sons, Perry, who serves as president and Matt, vice president. The company has 85 employees at its home offices and manufacturing facilities in Perrysburg and Warren, Mich. For more information about IMCO Carbide Tools, visit www.imcousa.com.

THE RETIREMENT GUYS

T

Buy low, sell why

he stock market often evokes many emotions when one is trying to decide the right time to buy or sell. For most investors, it seems like more of a game of luck than solid decision making. Avoid the “swirling” feeling the stock market can bring by using the following four quick and easy steps: O Remember the basics of inMark vesting. Investing in stocks and bonds is Nolan a long-term investment plan. The emotions of “I want it now” can cause investors to make poor short-term decisions. Think of owning stocks like being an owner of a company. There will be bumps in the road along the way. Before investments are bought or sold, consider the reason why. What is the goal and what are the alternatives to consider? O Use defined investment goals. Every investor has the goal of making money. We feel investors who have,

and stick with, clearly defined investment goals are the ones who have the best opportunity for success in the long run. Take investing beyond the basics of retirement planning or investment planning and clearly define the goal. O Don’t dwell on the past. Some investors feel they have “missed out” on the stock and bond rally in the past few years. CLAIR Remember, it is really hard to go forBAKER ward if decisions are made by looking in the rearview mirror. Use history to make more educated decisions about the future, but don’t make decisions based solely upon the past. Consider the path going forward from where you are today and figure out the smartest, most enjoyable and safest way to get there. O Schedule regular maintenance. The only reason my car has stayed in such great shape is because I take it in for regular scheduled maintenance, even

when it is running well. Investors often forget to go in for regularly scheduled maintenance. It’s like not changing your oil in your car. Other times investors ignore the early warning signs, hoping the problem will go away. Compare it to hoping your check engine light might go off if you just keep driving. For investors who haven’t gone in for a regular review in the past six months, now is a good time for a checkup. Following these four steps should help the average investor figure out what moves should be made. If you still aren’t sure, see a licensed financial professional who can help educate you on the options.

tion’s GDP. Between the late ’80s and 2011, Japan’s economic policy involved protecting equity and debt stakeholders via government funds (i.e., bailouts), and its economy has failed to fully recover for more than 20 years. These bailouts protect equity and debt stakeholders, but hurt the overall economy as the recovery time takes far too long. Recently, Japan has elected to double the size of their monetary base in an attempt to fix their problems. This falls more closely in line with the Finnish model.

Finnish model

Finland’s policy involves a sharp devaluation of their currency. While this results in a decrease in the nation’s debt burden by whatever percentage the currency is devalued, it also encourages exporting as domestically produced goods become more affordable on a global scale. While the exporting industries benefit (assuming you have other nations to export to), personal savings are negatively impacted.

Swedish model

The Swedes have pursued a policy of allowing business winners to thrive and allowing failing businesses to go through a structured

bankruptcy proceeding. The United States clearly has bankruptcy courts and proceedings as well; however, during the past two decades we seem to have fallen in love with the idea of structured federal bailouts as opposed to Chapter 7 and 11 bankruptcies. While the Swedish model has proven time and again to be the best long-term solution, wiping out bond and stock holdings of business entities can have a negative short-term impact on the perceptions of a nation’s economy to investors.

The US

The United States has attempted a combination of the three models in recent years, with the Swedish model being most prevalent pre2008, the Japanese model from 2008-10 and the Finnish model from 2010-present. Unfortunately for our economy, another policy that has been pursued is the zero interest-rate policy. With this policy, banks can borrow from the Federal Reserve for nothing and loan to consumers or even back to the Fed and profit on the rate spread. However, those holding CDs and fixed annuities are hurt by falling interest rates, while tradable debt (i.e., long-term fixed-rate

government debt) benefits from falling rates. Retirees who rely on fixed-rate income (e.g., CDs) have seen their lifestyles devastated by rates dropped in an effort to save the lending institutions. Allowing rates to increase signals to the private sector that money is no longer as cheap as it once was, and we will likely see corporations and individuals rushing to lock in low interest rate loans. This would be one surefire way to spark a stagnant economy. One thing is for certain: The economic policies that the United States have attempted since the 2008 crisis have proven ineffective at increasing domestic GDP. Unless something is done, we can expect to see what Japan has seen for the past 20 years, stagnant economic growth.

TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER

We just didn’t want to be the biggest band in Australia — we were at that time — we wanted to be the biggest band in the world. So we got in the trenches, we just dug in, and we wouldn’t give up.”

vkroll@toledofreepress.com

It was 38 years ago that Graham Russell met Russell Hitchcock on the first day of rehearsal for “Jesus Christ Superstar” in Sydney. “Once we started to talk to each other, we realized we had a lot of things in common. He loved The Beatles and so did I,” Russell recalled. “We had the same name, which was kind of weird. “So we just became really good friends straight away, and it wasn’t long before we realized that something was going to happen, that we were going to sing together.” Later that year, they formed a band. “We needed a name because we had a record coming out in ’75 and it needed to be pressed, and we said, ‘Well, whatever we come up with the next morning, we have to go with,’” Russell said. “That night I had a dream about a massive billboard, and all around it were all these flashing lights, and in the middle of the billboard were two words: Air Supply.” The group initially found success in Australia. “We just didn’t want to be the biggest band in Australia — we were at that time — we wanted to be the biggest band in the world. So we got in the trenches, we just dug in, and we wouldn’t give up,” Russell said during a call from his Utah home. “And then when things started to happen, we were ready for it. I mean, we didn’t expect that much success, you know, we had nine Top Fives in a row, and it was unbelievable.”

— GRAHAM RUSSELL of Air Supply Air Supply was unstoppable in the early 1980s with a string of hits: “All Out of Love,” “Every Woman in the World,” “The One That You Love,” “Here I Am,” “Sweet Dreams,” “Even the Nights Are Better,” “Two Less Lonely People in the World,” “Making Love Out of Nothing at All.” It all began in the States with a song Russell said he wrote in 15 minutes: “Lost in Love.” “We were really lucky because when ‘Lost in Love’ came out, it was a new decade in America. It came out in January, and people were ready for something different, you know. I think every decade they are,” the singersongwriter-guitarist said. “We just happened to be there at that time, and people just caught on to it. I think its simplicity and its real, genuine feeling

is what they caught on to.” He also credited Hitchcock’s singing. “Russell’s vocal is just profound at the end; we never planned that. … Russell just happened to jump up the octave at the end. I remember being in the studio and we went, ‘Oh my God, that’s just awesome.’ ” Last year, the group released “Live in Jerusalem,” which featured a new single, “Sanctuary.” Russell also has written four new songs for a new musical, “Lost in Love.” The show based on Air Supply’s hits was written by Melissa Bell, and the cast includes Andrea McArdle, who was the original “Annie” on Broadway, and Constantine Maroulis and Justin Matthew Sargent, who were in “Rock of Ages.” “I’ve always wanted to be a part of an Air Supply musical, but we were always waiting for the right person to come along with the right story. I was really guarded against having a jukebox musical,” Russell said. “I wanted a profound story, and that’s what we have. “It’s been coming for two years and we’ll have the final reading soon and then it’ll go to the next stage, which will be full-on rehearsal.” Air Supply will take the outdoor stage at the Hollywood Casino Toledo at 8 p.m. June 21. Tickets are $30. O

22 Star

June 16, 2013

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com

n BAUMHOWER CONTINUED FROM 21 That’s when one of my life’s biggest regrets occurred. I was angry, he was drunk and I yelled, “He’s not my real father!” at my mother during a small dust-up. My statement got the desired result — it broke her heart. Over the next couple of days, she started introducing my real past. Not that she wasn’t honest before; it was just never spoken of. The story is nothing special. She was 19. His name was Jeff. He left her the day before she gave birth to me and she promised her grandma she would never take him back.

Sobriety and forgiveness

On Feb. 7, 1994, my dad took his final drink. I was 18. In October that same year I became a father for the first time. My father’s choice not to drink is the single most courageous decision I have ever witnessed. He was exactly my age now, 37, and tackled his disease head-on. Through his

unselfish act, he showed me what forgiveness is about. My kids have never known anybody else except the person my mom fell in love with, their Papa Dave. He is truly the most genuinely unselfish man I have met. I love him for what he was and who he has become.

Craig’s choice

I told Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller about the Schuele family and I suggested their tale for a Father’s Day story. Craig’s choice to be a dad has directly affected my family. Our kids are the same age and have been classmates numerous times. His choice of wanting to be a father and the way he chooses to raise his family is simultaneously teaching my kids diversity and love without regard to color or blood. The Schueles are not perfect, but perfectly loved. You only need to see the constant smiles on their collective faces for proof. Craig’s choice gave six babies a real shot at life, love and family.

GRAND OPENING SPECIALS!

My choice

I’ve made a life choice in not remembering the last name of my biological father. It haunts me every day that I have siblings and family I will never meet, all of whom will never meet my children. I choose not to remember the last name of a man who left my mom when she needed him the most. I have always chosen not to discuss this personal secret because I think it would hurt my dad.

Thirty-four years ago, Dave chose to be my father. He adopted me, gave me his last name and chose to raise me. Nineteen years ago, he chose to never have another drink and subsequently became my hero. There is nobody else in this world I would choose to be my dad or my kid’s grandpa than Dave. I have a single picture of my biological father, in my safety deposit box, and by all accounts I look just like him. I find it odd when I receive

compliments on how I am with my children. Jeff is the reason why I strive every day to be the best dad I can be, because he chose not to. Long ago, after I did the math, I promised myself I would never be him. To all men who choose to be a Dad — biological or not — Happy Father’s Day!

Your Tarotgram and Horoscope

JUNE 16-22, 2013

Sun enters Cancer/Summer Solstice (21st) Aries (March 21-April 19)

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Incoming influences flood your environment from multiple directions. You’re at a crossroads between old and new – things, ideas, concepts, identities. Creative ambitions find an avenue of expression after Wednesday. Relationships and partnerships foster greater success.

As usual, it’s all about the people in your life and the flow of mutual benefits. The stakes are higher this week! Momentous turning points and endings mark major changes in your career, life path, and relationships. Check in with a wise adviser Saturday.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Nothing stands in the way of a stampeding bull. Whatever your goals, desires, or ambitions, this week you can trample barriers and uncertainties. The possibilities you’ve been seeking unfold in full color. Share gratitude for any generous assistance you’re given.

This week starts at a fast and furious pace. Events are loaded with fatefulness, so how you handle them is your destiny. Love is a major motivating factor. You will benefit by accepting any assistance offered on Thursday. Dramatic financial changes are in the wind.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Everything peaks at once: career opportunities, money & household improvements, new relationships. Years of effort pay off. Stay humble, smile a lot, and act like you know what you’re doing. Saturday, update all of your various selves so they’re on the same page.

You’re mugged by fate and destiny this week! Doubts are obliterated as unfolding events become a juggernaut that hurl you in new directions with love, money, career, or location - any or all. Your friends and instincts will serve you well if you trust them.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Big deals involving powerful personalities are in motion. You prosper as a facilitator and social conduit, bringing the right people, places, and opportunities together so everyone benefits. After Thursday, your talents and contributions are recognized and rewarded.

A big goal has been reached and rewards are flowing. Turn your attention to key relationships and the role that a significant other plays in your life. Give that person your exclusive focus and share the love. Thursday and Friday are relationship high points.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

This is a week of superlative performances and status changes. Magic moments from Tuesday to Friday can change everything. Talents are visible. A hidden wonder emerges on Thursday through a friend or child. Spirits or angels whisper to you Saturday.

This is a time of heightened fertility, whether mental, spiritual or physical. Everything is flowing well, and procreative urges take hold. Whatever you do is surrounded with the glow of love and joy. Whatever has been difficult and frustrating becomes easy as pie.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Grab the opportunity to take in the view from the top, personally or vicariously. If you’ve been seeking a life or career path, the door opens. Run mental test simulations on different roles and situations to see how they feel. Friends are immensely beneficial all week.

Personal connections put you in a position to witness and participate in miraculous manifestations this week. Hard climbs lead to peak results/outcomes. Creativity and intimacy flow at full force after Tuesday. New love, spiritual renewal, and magical mergers are possible.
