It is one thing for Jacobs to “protect” UT from The Blade by invited 75 supporters and sent a news release to electronic media, snubbing Toledo Free Press, but think about the hostile aggression asking them to join us at the UT Ritter Planetarium on Feb. 25.

One of the supporters we invited was Lawrence Burns, UT he displayed by suggesting he and Burns “call mike B. and others.”

I have no proof that Jacobs, Burns or Zerbey called the chamber vice president for external affairs and interim vice president for equity and diversity.

interests in mind? How many community leaders — in government, development, media and other walks of life — have been victims of this fearful, spiteful and malevolent confederacy of poltroons? How much on-the-job time does Jacobs spend scheming to appease his chieftains?

If one of UT’s missions is to help Toledo evolve into a “university town,” part of that mission must be to unite the community, not divide it. Jacob’s belligerent and hostile actions offer no indication that he wishes UT to be anything other than a tool for the change-resistant network of corruption that cripples any forward momentum Toledo dreams of.

One of the great lessons I learned while attending UT was the importance of speaking out against corruption, even if no one else has the courage to stand beside you at first. I want to assure you that any further aggression against or unfair exclusion of my or any other alumnus’ enterprises on behalf of Jacobs’ abject alliance will be promptly and prominently reported, across as many media forums and outlets as possible.

Live and learn Pounds saw Jacobs at a meeting a few days after the news conference and tried to talk about what had happened, but Jacobs cut him off with an arrogant, “Live and learn, Tom.” I told this sorry tale to a UT official I respect and trust, and he responded that while Jacobs’ and Zerbey’s actions were reprehensible, it would be a mistake for me to “punish the institution for the failings of its temporary caretakers.”

But I have to tell you, UT Alumni Association, I felt a bitter wave of distaste when I opened your letter requesting I renew my membership. How am I supposed to be a proud, supportive UT alumnus when UT isn’t proud or supportive of me? I wonder how many other alumni, after reading this, will feel that disappointment, and respond accordingly. I wonder if you even care. I wonder what it will take to make you care.

Core values On one of my visits to speak at UT, I saw a poster in University Hall that displayed the “core values” of UT’s mission statement.

It includes the following ideals: ■ “Treat every individual with kindness, dignity and care; consider the thoughts and ideas of others inside and outside of the University with a strong commitment to exemplary personal and institutional altruism, accountability, integrity and honor ...

■ “Provide a collaborative and supportive work environment, based upon stewardship and advocacy, that adheres to the highest ethical standard. Provide services that meet students’ and regional needs and where possible exceed expectations; be ... a center of excellence for cultural, athletic and other events ...

■ “Engage in reflective planning and innovative risk-taking in an environment of academic freedom and responsibility.”

Perhaps, UT Alumni Association, you can use another alumnus’ donation to buy and install a “core values” poster inside Jacobs’ office.

He obviously has not read the one in the hallway — I’d rather believe that than believe he holds your “core values” in such contempt.

GUEST COLUMN

TPS must keep promise for independent review

O

n the surface, the concept presented by TPS Board of Education President Vasquez for an independent review of TPS seems appropriate and needed. However, past attempts at conducting such operational reviews have not resulted in meaningful reforms of TPS usually due to “school board politics.”

TPS officials have consistently used these opportunities to create favorable “public relations” usually timed to influence the next levy on the ballot.

In 1999, the Corporation for Effective Government (CEG) did a benchmark study of TPS and its operational practices, which was conducted by a blue ribbon committee of Toledoans and others. Not included in the study were areas involving union contracts or labor management practices. TPS administrators and union leaders who sat on the steering committee would not participate if these areas were included.

Results: Not one single recommendation has been implemented.

When the community passed a levy In 2002-03, at the urging of education reform advocates, the TPS to renovate Scott High School two years Board of Education agreed to develop ago, the Scott community wanted an ina strategic plan and hired educational dependent oversight committee to monitor the project.

Whenever community memflicts of interest abounded and some bers get upset, TPS puts a committee individuals serving on the committee together or implements a study to adwere involved in some sweetheart dress the issue. The results are always deals. The committee met about three the same: A waste of time and effort.

Can we expect Vasquez and the years — sporadically at the end before committee members lost interest and board to deliver on his latest promise?

Let’s examine Vasquez’s January the committee stopped meeting.

2010 promise of a cost cutting committee when TPS said a new levy was needed. Most expected the committee to be similar to Mayor Bell’s “CSI” committee.

No committee was ever established. The community and employees had no input on potential budget cuts or ideas to save school funds. Vasquez failed to meet his promise. And there are more examples of Vasquez’s failure to act while on the TPS board.

Finally, getting board consensus on the effort along with the support of top TPS officials would seem the first order of business in getting an effort like this underway.

Vasquez admits in press interviews that he did not discuss it with all board members before his announcement at a meeting of an economic development group called The Partners. A Blade reporter just happened to be in the audience. Why? A skeptic would see this as a great way to get personal attention for being a problem solver in preparation for his next run at city council.

Grandstanding never solved any problems. It can draw attention to problems, but most in this community already know that TPS has major intractable problems.

The current effort can only work if the TPS board charters the committee by vote. It must be autonomous and look at both operational and financial practices, including current union contracts. No TPS officials or employees should be members of the committee.

All employees and records must be available for interviews and inspection.

All committee members must be free of financial or other relationships that pose a conflict of interest.

The true intentions of the board will be evident in how it structures the committee. Without independence and inclusion of the education reform advocates, it’s just more grandstanding in preparation for a November levy.

The scheduled meeting settled the controversy about who is the head of the LCRP, with Stainbrook elected chairman against Jeff Simpson.

Aug. 7 event will honor local activist Robert Brundage

By Brandi Barhite TOLEDO FREE PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR bbarhite@toledofreepress.com

At first glance, it looked like Robert Brundage was just at the meeting for the food. The community activist was known to eat his share and then tuck extra into his handkerchief for later.

But for those who knew him, eating was just part of the agenda.

WOODBERRY Wa r r e n Woodberry said people hesitated when they first met

his friend because of his scruffy appearance. It wasn’t until he started talking that they realized his knowledge was larger than his stomach.

“If you needed to know something about the environment, diversity, city history, you would seek him out,” Woodberry said. “He was a walking encyclopedia.”

As the one-year anniversary of his attack and death approaches, Woodberry is leading the effort to honor Brundage with an event that will capture his best qualities.

The 66-year-old Toledoan promoted getting along with others, taking care of the environment and treating people fairly.

The Robert Brundage Celebration

Celebration of Life The Robert Brundage Celebration of Life event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 7 at Toledo Botanical Gardens. The day will include free music and poetry readings. of Life event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 7 at Toledo Botanical Gardens. The day will include free music and poetry readings.

“It is going to be a respectful event to honor the epitome of a real community-oriented person. He belonged to many groups and he was very socially conscious,” said Woodberry, chairman of the community relations committee for the Toledo Board of Community Relations, the

event’s facilitator.

Woodberry said Brundage never would have wanted his death — at the hands of a 15-year-old stealing the bicycle he rode everywhere — to divide the community. Dailahntae Jemison was sentenced to five years at the Ohio Department of Youth Services for the homicide.

“This will be like a healing,” Woodberry said. “We want to stay away from any reference to his death

or the circumstances.”

The list of Brundage’s activities is enormous, but includes Erase the Hate, Collingwood Arts Center, Toledo Poetry Foundation, Seed Swap Botanical Garden and Scott Alumni Association.

The Aug. 7 event, which could become annual, will also honor any volunteer who attends the event.

Among those slated to perform are musicians Rachel Richardson and Dan Greunke. The poets will include members of the Mad Poets Society, as well as Mike Kocinski. Ben Langlois of Old West End Records will donate his time and equipment to run the sound for the event.

JUNE 20, 2010 ■ BRUNDAGE CONTINUED FROM A6 A section of Toledo Botanical Gardens will also be dedicated to tai chi demonstrations, yoga and massages.

“The theme of the day will be healing,” said Donna Cohen, co-owner of the Happy Badger in Bowling Green.

“Everything is going to be free, so there isn’t going to be anyone vending or promoting things. Everything Robert did, he volunteered, so in his spirit, ev-

eryone will donate their time.”

Cohen said it seemed like Brundage was at every event or meeting she attended.

“He was always donating his knowledge. He served our community in the most selfless fashion.

He showed people what goodness is about,” she said.

David Brundage, of Fairfax County, Va., knew his brother was involved

in the community, but did not realize the extent until a candlelight vigil was hosted after his June 22 attack. He died July 7 from his head injury.

“He didn’t talk about the variety of groups,” his brother said. “He would talk about this activity or that activity — we never added up the list.”

The Brundages grew up in a civicminded family. They moved from St. Cloud, Minn., to Toledo shortly after

World War II. David said his mother was one of the early neighborhood activists, which rubbed off on his brother.

Growing up, they lived in a mostly white neighborhood until “block busting” began to occur, he said. This involved selling a home to a black family and then convincing the white neighbors they needed to move out.

“Mother was furious and said, ‘We are never going to sell that way,” David said.

All five of the boys played an instrument with Robert Brundage choosing the cello. He would go on to record and edit performances for Harvard University, MIT, New England Conservatory and others.

“We all liked to do little projects — lots of car and airplane models around the house,” David said. “We certainly read books all the time because our father was professor of chemistry at Toledo and then music took over because of our mother.”

The boys had no television growing up, instead playing chess, cards and board games.

Brundage graduated from UT with an engineering degree, and later earned a Ph.D. in biophysics from Brandeis University in Boston. For many years, he lived on the East Coast, designing medical instruments and working as a researcher.

Brundage returned to Toledo in the mid-1990s to care for his dad; it was then he began to reconnect with friends. By this time, he was divorced and had two sons. His life began to take a new direction.

“He said he was having the time of his life in Toledo,” David said. “We were shocked that for somebody like himself who was seen on the streets on a regular basis that something like that would happen, especially when he appeared not to have much money at all.”

Karen Krause, social justice chairman of the Toledo Area Jobs with Justice Coalition, said Brundage was attacked after their meeting June 22.

“It was less than one block from the meeting. He was going to distribute fliers for an upcoming event,” she said.

Before she gathered her papers from the meeting, several members observed the attack and rushed back to get her help because she was a nurse.

“It was truly a day to remember that I would have liked to forget,” she said.

Krause said members of the organization will participate in the Aug.

BRUNDAGE 7 event, and as a group it will donate to a scholarship in Brundage’s name.

Recently, the Robert Brundage/Scott Alumni Association Scholarship was established through the Toledo Public Schools Foundation.

Dick Eppstein, president of the Better Business Bureau of Northwestern Ohio and Southeastern Michigan, said the Brundages were a fixture at Scott High School.

He worked with Robert Brundage on saving their alma mater Scott High School.

“He was a EPPSTEIN very valuable guy. I attended many meetings where he was there and if we disagreed — he was the one we turned to,” Eppstein said.

Because Brundage attended so many meetings, he could clear up rumors, he said.

Eppstein and Brundage agreed that Scott High School needed to revamp its curriculum.

“We believe that there has been far, far too little priority paid to the curriculum and quality of curriculum in that school,” he said. “Robert and the rest of us were very concerned about kids.”

Woodberry said Brundage would have helped plan the Aug. 7 event because it is important to honor local people who are making a difference.

The Toledo Board of Community Relations has never honored anyone other than a national figure like Martin Luther King Jr. “He would be right there at the buffet table and have lots of ideas,” Woodberry said. “He would be telling us how to make this event better.”

Larry Kaczala remembered for public service

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

For many in Lucas County, Larry Kaczala was one of the “good guys.”

“He was extremely ethical, had an extremely good heart and was extremely professional.

He was an all around good guy,” said Sandy Isenberg, former KACZALA Lucas County Commissioner. “Larry will be sorely missed for a long time.”

“Larry will be remembered for being a true gentleman. He was a great guy with a big heart. If you needed something he’d help you out,” said Bob Reichert, former Lucas County Republican Party (LCRP) chairman.

“He was one of the good guys.

Never went out of his way to do damage to anyone,” said Judge David Lewandowski.

On June 8, Kaczala, 53, died, after apparently committing suicide at Toledo Hospital. Toledo Police are investigating his death.

Service Kaczala, a Republican, served Lucas County for many years.

In the 1980s he worked in the Lucas County Auditor’s office under former auditors Dan McNamara and Lewandowski, eventually serving as director of personal property tax.

In 1991, Kaczala ran for Toledo City Council.

“If people asked him if he was a Republican or Democrat, he told them he was Polish. That’s how he got his foot started in politics,” said Republican Doug Haynam, who met Kaczala during his city council campaign.

In 1993, Kaczala was appointed to Lucas County Auditor and was elected three subsequent times in 1994, 1998 and 2002. In 2006, Kaczala lost a fourth run for the position to current auditor Anita Lopez.

During his political career, Kaczala also sought the 9th Congressional District seat against Marcy Kaptur in 2004 and in 2007 he lost a bid for Toledo Municipal Court Judge.

Auditor’s office During his 13 years as county auditor, Kaczala brought technological innovation to the office.

“He probably was the best auditor we’ve had in the last 50 years, myself included,” Lewandowski said. “He did some great things technologically — moved the county well forward.”

Kaczala won state, national and international awards for implementing and using geographical information systems (GIS) within the county.

Lucas County was one of the first to display real estate records online with the Auditors Real Estate Information System (ARIES).

Much of the GIS technology Kaczala put in place are still used by the county today. Originally, the idea of utilizing GIS technology was passed on by the county commissioners, according to former Toledo Councilwoman Betty Shultz. Shultz, who was working as an administrative secretary at the time, said the chief building official approached the commissioners about GIS technology he heard about. The commissioners dismissed the idea and the suggestion to utilize GIS technology was given to Kaczala in a letter.

Kaczala researched GIS technology and hired two gentlemen to develop software for the county, Shultz said.

“I thought the situation demon-

Kaczala was always a good political ally, with good political instincts, Haynam said.

George Sarantou, Toledo City councilman, said Kaczala always gave him great advice when Sarantou ran for public office.

“He had a positive, yet a realistic knowledge of Lucas County. He’d tell it to you straight what you needed to win and to serve the needs of the constituents,” Sarantou said. “He’d introduce you to other people and tell you about events that he thought you should be at. He was a big help.”

Brian Schwartz, assignment editor for NBC 24, sought help from Kaczala

while working for Mike DeWine.

“I got myself in a political bind,” Schwartz said. “And the one person I saw that might help me was Larry.

He didn’t owe me anything, but I told him my situation and he laughed and said been there before. He made a phone call on my behalf and I will never forget that.”

Kaczala, who donated a kidney to his sister, Sharon Fickel, in the early 1990s, was also active in fundraising for the Kidney Foundation of Northwest Ohio.

“Donating a kidney to a family member takes a lot of courage and a lot of love. Larry faced an interesting moral dilemma and it was an important moment in his life that encompasses who he is,” Lewandowski said.

Kaczala was also an active member of Toledo’s “Block Watch” attending meetings to promote the organization, Sarantou said.

Kaczala had no children and leaves behind his wife, Gina-Marie.

He graduated from Central Catholic High School and attended UT for both undergrad and law school.

In addition to elected offices he had with the county and the city, Kaczala taught real estate law, civil rights and ethics at UT.

strated his ability to dig into something. As a result of his research, Larry was about to make a valuable contribution to the citizens,” she said.

As auditor Kaczala served as vice president and president of County Auditors of Ohio and served as president of Northwest Ohio Auditors Association. In 2000, Kaczala’s office served as host to the International Association of Appraisers National Convention in Florida. Additionally, Kaczala won numerous awards for excellence in financial reporting.

STORM AFTERMATH

Lake High School positive about move to Owens

By Mary Petrides TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

Lake High School’s move to Owens doesn’t come without problems.

“There’s no protocol on how you deal with a tornado ruining one of your schools,” superintendent Jim Witt said at a June 16 news conference that announced the move to Owens.

“If they had that class in grad school, I missed it.”

There’s no cafeteria in the Owens building. And school officials aren’t sure where athletes will play yet.

Owens’ classes, computers, lab equipment and furniture will also have to move to another building about 3 miles away.

But school officials, students and alumni still reeling from the June 5 tornado are confident the high school will only grow stronger.

They are also thankful to Owens for donating the use of the college’s Center for Development and Training building, which is located on Tracy Road in Northwood.

“We are not going to lower our

expectations,” Witt said.

Owens’ 53,500 square-foot Center for Development and Training building, which houses some Workforce and Community Services and Skilled Trades Technologies educational courses, features 10 classrooms, three computer laboratories, 34 offices, two reception areas and 12 experiential learning laboratories, according to a news release.

“We’re all one Lake family,” said Chris Pennington, who will be a senior at Lake in the fall. “We’re here now. Nothing can stop us.”

The tornado, which struck June 5, killed Ted Kranz, the father of the Lake High School valedictorian; Bailey Bowman, 2008 Lake graduate; Kathleen Hammitt of Woodville; and Ryan, Mary and Hayden Walters of Millbury. Graduation, originally scheduled for June 6, took place June 8 at Owens Community College.

“You look at the institution as something permanent, and something solid, a solid foundation in the community,” said Robert Densic, a 1985 graduate. “To see it gone just puts

into play in your mind the strength of Mother Nature. No matter what kind of monument man builds, God can take it down.”

Densic said he’s spoken with other Lake alumni about starting an alumni fund to restore memorabilia.

“Walls and roofs and structures can be replaced, but when you start looking at some of the photographs, the banners, the plaques, the trophies — those have some story behind them,” he said. “You’ll see alumni of all years stand up and … restore what we can, and keep it safe until Lake High stands again and we can put it where it belongs.”

There aren’t any definite plans yet, Densic said, but he plans to propose the idea at the class’s 25th anniversary reunion, scheduled for July 10.

The tornado hasn’t affected plans for the reunion, said organizer Maria Smithers. She hadn’t planned for the reunion to be at the high school, but was looking for a reasonably priced venue that could serve alcohol — something not allowed in a public school, she said.

Densic isn’t the only one hoping

to help the school. Elizabeth Urbanowski, a former Lake student, nominated the high school for “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” Shortly afterward, she and a friend created a Facebook page, which more than 12,800 people now “like.”

Urbanowski said she has been asked why she didn’t nominate a family whose home was destroyed.

“There are so many different families. How can I pick one? I wanted to do something that would benefit the entire community,” she said.

Urbanowski said she was a thirdgeneration student at Lake, and she hopes her children can attend the high school as well.

She lives in El Paso, Texas, but plans to move back this fall.

Overall, the response to the move has been positive.

“Will it be a change for those of us who remember the old high school?” Smithers said. “Absolutely. We can’t look into the past; we have to look forward, and that’s going to be the students at Lake High School.”

McDougle named Owens president Owens Community College Board of Trustees has ended its presidential search and selected Larry G. McDougle to serve as the academic institution’s new president, according to a June 8 news release.

McDougle McDOUGLE has been serving as the college’s interim president since January of this year.

According to the release, the Board of Trustees approved McDougle’s appointment as the fifth President in the 45-year history of Owens Community College during its regular June meeting. The Board of Trustees and McDougle have agreed to a one-year contract.

Surveys split on Jacobs’ performance

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

UT President Lloyd Jacobs received low ratings in a spring performance review by the university’s Faculty Senate, but received 100 percent support in an annual review by the UT Board of Trustees.

“This institution is in a phase of rapid growth — growth in enrollment, size and research dollars.

We’re on a roll which brings us to a new stature and JACOBS excellence in the community and for our students. From time to time with rapid change people are stretched out of their comfort zones.

I see all of this as growing pains,” Jacobs said of the low Faculty Senate ratings.

For the Faculty Senate assessment, Jacobs was reviewed in 10 categories, all of which he scored an average below 3 on a 5 point scale. His overall average was a 2.2, equating to “needs improvement” on the key.

The categories Jacobs was rated in include “communication/interpersonal skills,” “problem solving & decision making,” “strategic planning,” “leadership,” “ethics & integrity” and “diversity,” among others.

One review stated Jacobs, “Obvi-

ously thinks we are idiots,” and another said he is “Quick to speak, quick to judge, slow on attitude change.”

Not all reviews were negative with one review stating “He takes responsibility for his decisions and their outcome,” and another stated, “I have been GREATLY IMPRESSED by Dr. Jacobs’ use of the MyUT website, and the videos... as well as the media.”

The spring performance review was the senate’s first attempt, since the merger, at facilitation of a performance review and will serve as a learning experience for future reviews, said Dr. Mary Powers president of the Faculty Senate in an e-mail. Previous reviews of presidents, provosts and deans were conducted in the past by the former senate, she said.

The Faculty Senate received 128 surveys out of the 955 surveys e-mailed to permanent faculty members at UT, Powers said. Since the surveys were sent at the end of the semester when the professor were preparing for exams, timing may have played a role in the low 13 percent response rate, Powers said.

“Because the response rate was less than we had hoped, it will take more work to gather responses from a broader representation of faculty. It is important to provide individual faculty members the opportunity to offer feedback, and all feedback is important in the context of institutional assessment,” she said.

The new UT Faculty Senate con-

stitution, approved by the president and board of trustees in 2008, calls for a performance review of administrators after they have served two years and then a review every following two years, according to Powers.

A motion was passed in November to conduct a review of the president and all provosts, vice provosts and deans who had not been evaluated in the past two years.

The results of the survey were delivered to Jacobs, the board of trustees and the Faculty Senate.

“Someone’s objective and concerns if a friend or colleague was just laid off may be different than if you take the entire perspective of what the university is trying to achieve,” said William Fall, incoming chairman of the board of trustees.

The board of trustees’ review encompassed input from all board members, 11 college deans, the president’s cabinet, the president and 234 faculty members. The president was ranked on eight performance indicators, all of which he received a 3 (OK) or above on a 5 point scale.

“The board without exception is 100 percent behind Dr. Jacobs,” Fall said. “[The board’s review and the Faculty Senate review] reflect both positive and negative inputs. We honestly felt the very essence of reviews is to understand where you are where you need to go and what elements are important to continue to grow and advance the university.”

NEW CRANES, MUDDY AND SPIKE, WERE UNVEILED JUNE 17.

Port flies high with new cranes

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

The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority dedicated two new mobile harbor cranes and unloaded five additional cranes recently that are headed for the new Northwest Ohio Intermodal Terminal being developed by CSX Corporation in North Baltimore.

“It’s a historic occasion for the port authority and Northwest Ohio dedicating two new cranes and unloading five cranes for CSX,” said Paul Toth, president and CEO of the ToledoLucas County Port Authority.

The mobile harbor cranes will modernize material handling capabilities at the Port of Toledo by using them to handle bulk, project cargo and large containers. The new cranes are twice as productive as the port’s older cranes and more fuel efficient using 25 percent of the fuel to operate the existing ones.

The cranes are the only twin cranes of this type in operation at any Great Lakes port in the U.S., according to port authority officials. They will replace Big Lucas and Little Lucas, the cranes operating at the Port of Toledo.

Each crane stands more than 140 feet and weighs more than 240 tons with maximum capacity of 84 tons per swing. They have the capability of making 20 to 25 container lifts and 30 to 35 swings per hour, according to Joe Cappel, director of cargo development for the port authority.

“There is no container shipping on the Great Lakes but these cranes put Toledo in a good position to handle container trade through eastern Canadian ports. They will handle the existing bulk business at the Port of Toledo until container trade is established,” Cappel said.

The two cranes were assembled

at the port by the manufacturer Liebherr of Austria and are expected to be in service by the end of June, Cappel said. The cranes were shipped by ocean freighter from Germany and arrived at the Port of Toledo May 17.

The funding for the $6.5 million purchase of the cranes was provided by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. “It’s all about multi-modal transportation that puts this part of the state on the global map,” said David Dysard, deputy director of ODOT District 2.

The cranes are named Muddy and Spike after the mascots of the Toledo Mud Hens and Walleye teams. The winning names were submitted by Madison Phillips, an eighth grade student of Toledo, in the “Name the Cranes” contest for area students.

The additional five wide-span cranes are bound for the Northwest Ohio Intermodal Terminal under construction by CSX in North Baltimore. The cranes were made by Hans Künz GmbH in Austria, shipped by ocean vessel and arrived at the Port of Toledo this week.

The 70 containers holding the equipment for the cranes were unloaded at Midwest Terminals onto rail cars that will transport them to the CSX site.

“These cranes represent a major part of the revolution in freight transportation taking place in this region.

Once installed, the cranes will reduce emissions and improve the efficiency of our operations throughout the Midwest,” said Peter Craig, terminal superintendent of the new facility for CSX. The Northwest Ohio Terminal will employ more than 200 people when it becomes operational in 2011 with an additional 400 jobs during the construction of it. About 2,600 direct and indirect jobs will be created over the next 10 years as a result of the facility, Craig said.

Feds won’t OK bedbug killer in Ohio homes (AP) — State officials want permission to use an industrial pesticide to fight bloodthirsty bedbugs plaguing Ohio homes, but the federal government has said no, at least for now. In a letter earlier this month to Gov. Ted Strickland, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson wrote that the pesticide Propoxur could pose health risks for children, harming their nervous systems.

GUEST COLUMN

Keys to recognizing symptoms of dementia T he Brown family reunion has always been an event everyone looks forward to. Family visits, games, stories and everyone’s favorite foods are always on the agenda. On the top of the menu is Grandma’s Lemon Coconut Cake.

Grandma always makes the traditional cake from her old family recipe. This year, however, the cake tasted a little on the salty side, perhaps a half cup full of salt.

Debra Though the family was disappointed about the cake, they were more concerned with Grandma’s confusion with the recipe and her similar confusion about the loved ones around her. Could something be wrong with grandma’s mental state?

One might say that for an elder person a little forgetfulness or confusion is normal, but when do you know if there is a serious problem, such as dementia? An online article from the website FamilyDoctor.org outlines some common symptoms in recognizing dementia.

“Dementia causes many problems for the person who has it and for the person’s family. Many of the problems are caused by memory loss. Some common symptoms of dementia are listed below. Not everyone who has dementia will experience all of these symptoms.

Recent memory loss. All of us forget things for a while and then remember them later. People who have dementia often forget things, but they never remember them. They might ask you the same question over and over, each time forgetting that you’ve already given them the answer. They

won’t even remember that they already asked the question.

Difficulty performing familiar tasks. People who have dementia might cook a meal but forget to serve it. They might even forget that they cooked it.

Problems with language.

People who have dementia may forget simple words or use the wrong words. This makes it hard to understand what they want.

Time and place disROIDL orientation. People who have dementia may get lost on their own street. They may forget how they got to a certain place and how to get back home.

Poor judgment. Even a person who doesn’t have dementia might get distracted. But people who have dementia can forget simple things, like forgetting to put on a coat before going out in cold weather.

Problems with abstract thinking.

Anybody might have trouble balancing a checkbook, but people who have dementia may forget what the numbers are and what has to be done with them.

Misplacing things. People who have dementia may put things in the wrong places. They might put an iron in the freezer or a wristwatch in the sugar bowl. Then they can’t find these things later.

Changes in mood. Everyone is moody at times, but people who have dementia may have fast mood swings, going from calm to tears to anger in a few minutes.

Personality changes. People who have dementia may have drastic changes in personality. They might become irri-

table, suspicious or fearful.

Loss of initiative. People who have dementia may become passive. They might not want to go places or see other people.”

Dementia is caused by change or destruction of brain cells. Often this change is a result of small strokes or blockage of blood cells, severe hypothyroidism or Alzheimer’s disease.

There is a continuous decline in ability to perform normal daily activities. Personal care including dressing, bathing, preparing meals and even eating a meal eventually becomes impossible.

What can family members do if

they suspect dementia? An appointment with the doctor or geriatric clinic is the first step to take. Depending on the cause and severity of the problem there are some medications that may help slow the process.

Your doctor may recommend a care facility that specializes in dementia and Alzheimer’s. These facilities offer a variety of care options from day care with stimulating activities to part or full-time live-in options. Sometimes if patients tend to wander off, a locked facility is needed.

In the beginning family members find part time caregivers for their

loved one. At first, loved ones need only a little help with remembering to do daily activities or prepare meals. As dementia progresses, caregiving demands often progress to 24 hour care.

Night and day become confused and normal routines of sleeping, eating and functioning become more difficult for the patient.

The person with dementia feels frustrated and may lash out in anger or fear. It is not uncommon for a child or spouse giving the care to quickly become overwhelmed and discouraged.

What is Aortic Aneurysm?

An aortic aneurysm (a-OR-tik AN-yuh-rih-zum) is a bulge in a section of the aorta, the body’s main artery that reaches from the heart to the abdominal region. The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. When an aneurysm is present, that section of the aorta becomes overstretched and can burst.

Most people with aortic aneurysms, especially ones in the chest area (thoracic aortic aneurysms), do not have symptoms. However, symptoms may begin to occur if the aneurysm gets bigger and puts pressure on surrounding organs.

■ DEMENTIA CONTINUED FROM A12 Family gatherings provide an excellent opportunity to discuss caregiving plans and family support. It is most helpful if everyone in the family is united in supporting a family caregiver in some meaningful way.

“The first step to holding a family meeting, and perhaps the most difficult one, is to get all interested persons together in one place at one time. If it’s a family gathering, perhaps a birthday, an anniversary or another special event could be used as a way to get all to meet. Or maybe even a special dinner might be an incentive.

The end of the meeting should consist of asking everyone present to make his or her commitment to support the plan. This might just simply be moral support and agreement to abide by the provisions or it is hoped that those attending will volunteer to do something constructive. This might mean commitments to providing care, transportation, financial support, making legal arrangements or some other tangible support.”

Professional home care services are an option to help families in the home. These providers are trained

and skilled to help with dementia patients. Don’t forget care facilities as well. It may be the best loving care a family member can give is to place their loved one in a facility where that person is safely monitored and cared for.

These difficult decisions can be made more easily with the assistance of a professional geriatric care manager. They can provide the expertise and objectivity to help assess the situation, provide the best solutions, and mediate with a conflicted family. To find one in your area, visit the website www.caremanager.org.

Awareness is focus of seventh annual YELL & TELL rally

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

What began with a march in Washington, D.C., seven years ago has grown into an annual event for spreading awareness about child abuse. YELL & TELL: stop child abuse now will sponsor its seventh annual rally at 1 p.m. June 27 at the Walbridge Park shelter house.

The event will feature information tables furnished by organizations, such as Lucas County Children Services and the Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center. The Lucas County Sheriff ’s Office will also be on hand to fingerprint children.

Mark Robinson, founder and executive director of R.E.S.T.O.R.E. Inc. and co-founder of the Northcoast Fatherhood Initiative, is the event’s main speaker. He will address the role of the father in the family and how fathers can prevent child abuse.

“The importance of the role of the father is so significant in the life of children,” said Robinson, a father of two. He supports policies promoting active fatherhood in contrast to many policies that simply track down the

father when child support is lagging.

State Sen. Teresa Fedor and Mayor Michael Bell will also speak.

A 50/50 raffle and silent auction will take place as well.

This is the first year the rally will take place at Walbridge Park. Wildwood Preserve Metropark and the Springfield Twp. administrative building previously hosted the event.

YELL & TELL President Pamela Crabtree said the change in location is a chance to target a wider demographic.

“I’m really hoping we’ll get a really diverse crowd. Child abuse is running rampant in our area and it has to be stopped,” she said.

According to the Lucas County Children Services Annual Report, 4,362 reports of child abuse involving 6,280 alleged victims were made in Lucas County last year. Of these, Children Services determined there were 1,335 substantiated victims of abuse.

Forty-five percent of the victims were 5 years old or younger. Physical abuse or neglect was cited in 87 percent of the substantiated claims, and another 11 percent involved sexual abuse.

Every case of child abuse is different, but many are similar to each

other, Crabtree said, adding that preventing maltreatment begins within the family. About 68 percent of maltreatment victims are abused by a family member, according to the website www.childhelp.org.

“A large proportion of child abuse

takes place in the home,” she said.

“Child abuse can be stopped by parents keeping communication open with their children. A child has to be comfortable they can go to their parents and say, ‘someone has touched me inappropriately’.”

According to the “Choose Your Partner Carefully” campaign Children Services promoted last year, the mother’s boyfriend was found responsible for onethird of all child abuse-related deaths in Lucas County between 2001 and 2008.

Crabtree said. “Please make sure that when you leave your child alone with your boyfriend or girlfriend you’re as sure as sure can be that that person will not abuse your child.�

According to www.childhelp. org, more than four U.S. children died every day from abuse and neglect in 2007.

“If child abusers—for instance pedophiles—if they are not stopped and reported, they can go on and, in their lifetime, they can abuse over 200 children,� Crabtree said. “Reporting the abuser is very, very important.�

A variety of individuals and entities make the reports. According to Children Services, private individuals referred a child 22 percent of the time, and another 21 percent came from anonymous sources. Social service pro-

fessionals and law enforcement officers combined for 36 percent of all referrals, while schools and teachers reported 12 percent. Medical professionals account for 7 percent of the cases. “Child maltreatment has been decreasing, but we fear it’s going to go up this year because of the unemployment rate,� Crabtree said. “A lot of child abuse happens when there’s stresses in the family brought on by unemployment.�

Toledo-area residents co-write book on dealing with burdens

By Betsy Woodruff TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER bwoodruff@toledofreepress.com

When Michele Howe had shoulder surgery five years ago, she did not know the recovery would be even harder than the operation. But for her, healing was extremely difficult.

“As you’re recovering and not at your best, life keeps going on,” she said.

HOWE She discussed the challenges of healing with her surgeon, Dr. Christopher Foetisch, concerned her experience was unusual.

“You’re not different,” he told her. “A lot of people go through it. It just takes some time. Everything will work out.”

He said many people underestimate how much time recovery takes.

“You can’t rush Mother Nature,” he said. “Everybody wants to be better yesterday.”

That realization inspired Howe to suggest that the two collaborate on a book project. They had co-authored several magazine articles on women’s health issues, and a full-length book seemed like the next step.

Their book, “Burdens Do a Body Good: Meeting Life’s Challenges with Strength (and Soul),” explores the challenges of carrying burdens.

Foetisch said the book is not specifi-

cally targeted at women who are recovering from surgery; rather, it has advice for readers facing a variety of struggles.

Howe offers advice on the emotional aspects of these challenges and Foetisch discusses the medical side.

“You grow through the hard times,” Howe said. “We don’t grow through the high times of life.”

The book is divided in two sections.

The first is on personal life challenges, including loss, depression and uncertainty. The second examines situational challenges, including relocation, financial setbacks and physical illness.

Each chapter has a section in which Howe offers advice on dealing with a challenge. Then, Foetisch gives specific advice on how readers should physically care for themselves while going through specific challenges. For example, the chapter on exhaustion begins with a discus-

sion of the importance of getting adequate rest, especially when life is particularly hectic. Then the book includes a medical perspective on the physiological problems of sleeplessness, including how it effects the immune system, decision-making

capacity and memory.

Howe said Foetisch, an orthopedic surgeon, discusses a variety of medical challenges, including women’s health, bone health, how to eat a nutritious diet and where to look online for reliable medical advice.

Howe said the book is relevant for people living in areas that have been hit hard by the recession, like Northwest Ohio. She said she knows many women whose difficult lives were worsened by the losses that come with economically challenging times.

City’s waterways initiative flows

The City of Toledo is proceeding with Phase II of the Toledo Waterways Initiative (TWI) mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to improve water quality in 400 communities across the country.

“TWI is a solution to the EPA’s requirements and not to the flooding and backups but we hope these solutions will help resolve those problems as well,” said George Robinson, commissioner of the Toledo Waterways Initiative and City of Toledo Department of Public Utilities.

The total cost of the water control and treatment projects in Toledo is estimated at nearly $500 million.

The local price tag compares with much higher costs in other nearby cities, such as $800 million for Akron, $1.2 billion each for Cincinnati, Cleveland and Detroit, Robinson said.

Voters approved the original con-

sent decree for the water remediation projects required by the EPA in 2002.

Robinson said the city is receiving federal and state funds to pay for the cost of the projects upfront.

The customers, area users of Toledo’s water system, will repay those loans with a portion of their water bills designated for those projects. The city has secured some additional grants for the project to reduce the cost to those customers, Robinson said.

Phase I of the initiative involved adding 200 million gallons per day of capacity with improvements to the Bay View Wastewater Treatment Plant completed in 2008. The additional capacity with two processes and treatable storage eliminated bypassing the flow of sanitary sewer and storm water.

Phase II of the initiative involves a long-term control plan designed to meet federal and state water quality

standards for rivers and streams, while improving water quality for recreation and aquatic life, Robinson said.

This plan includes 25 neighborhood projects in the City of Toledo from 2010 to 2020. It was submitted to the EPA in 2005 as part of the 2002 consent decree and revised in a modified consent decree signed in May 2010, Robinson said.

“We’re trying to attack this as strategically as we can while abiding by the consent decree negotiated with the EPA,” Robinson said.

The largest project will be the Downtown storage tunnel system at an estimated cost of $44 million that will begin in January 2013 and be completed in 2015, Robinson said.

The city hosted information meetings for the residents of that neighborhood before construction began.

Strategist encourages overseas investments

By Betsy Woodruff TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER bwoodruff@toledofreepress.com

Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank, said investors who are heavily exposed to equities should protect themselves from any unpredictable changes in the stock market. In the long run, though, he said he thinks equities are more responsible investments than government bonds.

“The best times to invest are the times when you feel least comfortable making the investment,” he said at a lunch hosted by the bank.

Because so many state and local governMcCAIN ments are in financial trouble, the odds of them defaulting on bonds are higher than they have been historically. Also, if interest rates rise, the value of bonds will shrink, diminishing any financial gains for bondholders.

As the world economy grows, McCain said stocks have more lucrative potential for investments in the longrun. He said countries with emerging markets, including Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea and Thailand, are probably good places to invest. Nations in Asia have better prospects for investment returns than European countries, according to McCain.

“We wouldn’t recommend that you diversify by in-

vesting in Greece,” he said.

He encouraged investors to put 10 percent of their portfolio in emerging markets because of the risks involved; they are more likely to soar and plunge.

McCain also encouraged investors to diversify by purchasing real assets, including commodities and real estate, and to explore alternative asset strategies like hedge funds.

“Many times, the best money is made in the darkest hours,” he said.

He said the economy is taking longer to recover from the Great Recession than it has from other economic crises because of how businesses and consumers have responded to it. Many businesses have cut their workers’ hours, which means that those employees have less money to spend, which would help accelerate the market’s recovery. Instead, growth has been slower than usual.

“It’s very sluggish by historical standards,” McCain said.

Another reason for the slow recovery has been competition from fledgling economies overseas.

McCain said inflation is also higher than some reports suggest. While the Consumer Price Index, which tracks the prices of household goods, does not seem to suggest the economy is facing inflation, other indicators show the contrary. The price of crude materials has been rising. Education and medical costs have also grown dramatically and many airlines are finding ways to charge extra fees, the most notorious of which is a charge for use of airplane bathrooms.

THE RETIREMENT GUYS

M

ark belongs to a local church that has been in the process of a building expansion during the past few years. The congregation had outgrown the facility and there was a great need for more room.

Especially for the youth of the church who are considered the future of what we would like to accomplish as a group. The goal is to provide a place for individuals and families to hear and experience the Gospel, to grow in Mark their faith and to let others know what is Nolan going on and invite them to join us.

Everyone on the church e-mail list recently received an e-mail from the pastor talking about “paying it forward.”

The e-mail talked about the temptation for all of us to ask the question “What’s in it for me?” I can imagine this question may be on the minds of many of the older folks in the congregation as they are asked to sacrifice both with their time and their finances. If they have already “served their time” and “paid their dues,” why should they continue to sacrifice when they themselves may not be around a long time to reap and enjoy the benefits?

The e-mail included a poem that we will not reprint, but here is the gist of it. An old man was spending his time building a bridge when a traveler asked him why he was wasting his time and labor when his journey would end soon and he would probably never pass that way again. The old man said there would be youth coming after him who would need the

JUNE 20, 2010

Pay it forward bridge to cross over the chasm. He was building the bridge for them. Obviously the old man felt strongly enough about the cause to spend much of his remaining time building something for somebody else. He knew how important it would be to provide a place for future travelers to cross.

A cause that we can all be passionate about is advancing the success and quality of life of our family members. A few weeks CLAIR ago, The Retirement Guys wrote BAKER a column talking about how you can enjoy the rest of your life by spending all of your money, and at the same time leaving a huge legacy to your family too. The old man by building a bridge in the story was leaving a lasting legacy to those who would come after him.

You can do the same thing. How can you do this, you ask? There are many strategies and ideas that we can come up with in a good estate plan, but let us share one with you to get you thinking.

Many of our clients get to retirement and have saved all their lives by putting money into a retirement account. Ironically, if they have been successful and have a nice retirement income, in many cases the retirement account is not needed.

The intent many times is to not touch the retirement account and leave it to the kids.

The sad thing is that the account might be worth about a third less than its value because of taxes.

One of the big reasons it is left alone is the taxable nature of any withdrawals.

In these situations, we consider what we call the “Detaxification Plan.” Since income taxes are a huge problem with retirement accounts, this strategy is to move money from the taxable retirement account and deposit the after tax balance into a life insurance policy

to create a potentially bigger legacy that can be income tax free! If family, church, or charity is a cause you feel passionate about, check into this idea and “pay it forward.” Create something that will affect generations to come.

AP SPORTS WRITER

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Sitting in his trailer on June 12 trying to watch a movie, Denny Hamlin couldn’t concentrate.

Sorry, too much going on these days.

“I constantly am thinking ... my mind is racing of what we can do to make the car better,’’ Hamlin said.

Judging by the way Hamlin crushed the field at Michigan International Speedway on June 13, the answer appears to be: not much.

Hamlin rolled to his second straight win and fifth of the season by easily pulling away from Kasey Kahne on a late restart to extend a dominant run that began in March at Martinsville. He’s now won half of the last 10 races, his No. 11 Toyota apparently getting stronger as summer approaches.

“It seems like I used to go into every season thinking, ‘We ought to get a couple wins, Martinsville, Pocono,’’’ Hamlin said. “Now it’s just show up and, hey, we can win. That to me is just a feeling I don’t think we’ve ever had before.’’

He might want to get used to it.

Hamlin was so strong June 13, leading 123 of 200 laps, he hardly blinked when a late caution for debris erased his 10-second lead over Kahne.

No biggie. Hamlin seemed to toy with Kahne off the restart. Kahne held tough for three laps before Hamlin put him firmly in the rearview mirror.

“I didn’t like watching him drive away from me, but I wasn’t surprised when he did,’’ said Kahne. “I thought we had a really good car ... the 11 was just a touch better.’’

Kahne highlighted a resurgent day for Ford by finishing second,

followed by pole-sitter Kurt Busch, Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart. Fourtime defending champion Jimmie Johnson was sixth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. was seventh.

They all were merely bystanders as Hamlin continued to stamp himself as the driver most likely to end Johnson’s lengthy reign atop the series.

“Now I know how Jimmie’s felt the last four years,’’ Hamlin said.

And unlike his exuberant celebration at Pocono, Hamlin kept his machine in one piece. Hamlin put a damper on the victory party last week when he smacked the wall while doing a postrace burnout.

This time, his car rolled into Victory Lane in pristine condition.

“There were specific instructions not to wreck,’’ Hamlin said with a laugh.

Not exactly good news for the rest of the series, which finds itself scrambling to keep up. Hamlin’s only hiccup came when he temporarily lost fuel pressure following a pit stop about midway through the race.

He promised his team he’d “get it back.’’ Minutes later he was in the lead.

Though Hamlin remains third in points behind Kevin Harvick with 11 races to go before the Chase begins, the bonus points from his five victories would have him in first if the Chase started today.

Hamlin stressed winning is more difficult than he’s made it look.

“The way we’re performing now goes back six months, a year from now,’’ he said. “We’ve worked very, very hard to get to this spot right now.’’

It’s a spot where Hamlin feels he can win whenever he slides into the car. The track. The distance. The weather doesn’t seem to matter.

A week after surviving NASCAR’s version of overtime, Hamlin cruised

during a relatively quiet race that lacked some of the fireworks that have peppered the series of late.

After Joey Logano and Harvick created waves during a postrace dustup, there were no flare-ups in the Irish Hills. Logano, who raced without his father Tom in attendance after he was involved in the uproar, finished 10th while Harvick struggled with his car all day and wound up 19th.

The two found themselves running side-by-side for a short stretch early on, with Logano’s spotter telling the 20-year-old to give Harvick room so he could make the pass. Logano went back by Harvick moments later.

“I was focused straight ahead all the time,’’ Logano said. “It wasn’t distracting. I do a good job on focusing

Kahne’s performance highlighted a resurgent day for Ford. The manufacturer still hasn’t won a race since last fall, but placed five drivers in the top 14. All five were using the new FR9 engine designed to put Ford back in the win column. Kahne sang the engine’s praises, saying it felt like he was driving on a level playing field for the first time in awhile.

WHEELS Downtown Wreck Shop offers safe place to vent Retired GM president McDonald dies at 87

DETROIT (AP) — F. James McDonald, who was president and chief operating officer of General Motors Corp. throughout much of the 1980s, has died. He was 87. McDonald died June 13, the automaker said in a statement. It did not give a specific cause of death. The former General Motors executive served as president and chief operating officer from February 1981 until August 1987, when he retired. McDonald, who hailed from Saginaw, Mich., got his start at GM as a student at the automaker’s university, the General Motors Institute. He spent two years in the Navy after graduation and then returned to GM in 1946, working at Saginaw Malleable Iron, a foundry for engine parts. McDonald is survived by his wife, a daughter, two sons, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Upset about rising gas prices, oil spills or other automobile frustrations? Check out the Wreck Shop where you can meet those needs by breaking glasses against the walls. “Let your stress, tension and worries go at the Wreck Shop,� said Walter Williams, who owns the new business venture, with his wife Michelle, located in Downtown Toledo.

Walter originally got the idea for the business from not having a proper place or way to relieve stress without getting in trouble with his wife at home.

He works as an aircraft mechanic at To-

ledo Express Airport and Michelle is a teacher with Toledo Public Schools.

The Toledo couple rented a storefront on North Superior Street and opened the Wreck Shop about six weeks ago.

When you walk in the door, it says on the wall, “Remember Why You’re Here ... a breakup, child support, high gas prices, your boss, children, wife or traffic.�

The menu reads, “You buy it, you break it� and lists the categories with number of items such as “bothered� with six items for $5; “frustrated,�

13 items for $10; “very annoyed,� 20 items for $15; ranging to “Good Day To Go To Jail� with 45 items for $30.�

Participants wear jumpsuits and helmets with face shields for safety

punch bowl sets. He said Libbey offered him a “good deal as long as I don’t sell it.�

The customer gets to throw the items from behind a railing against marble walls in rooms where rock bands used to practice. The House of Rock moved to the second floor in the building, he said.

The Rock Room features graffiti on the walls where clients get to

spray paint their name on the wall with the Good Day To Go To Jail deal for $30. The Record Room has old vinyl records and album covers on the walls.

There is a “Hate Michigan� room decorated in maize and blue and a “Hate Ohio State� room in scarlet and gray. More people use the Hate Michigan room, Williams said. ■SHOP CONTINUES ON A21

The high school students really seem to enjoy it, Williams said.

“We haven’t had one person who didn’t enjoy the experience,” he said.

“We get more people who come Downtown than people who work Downtown.”

Williams said he was surprised they get more women than men as customers.

“Once the ladies try it, they really love it,” he said.

He stops people on the street and invites them to check out the Wreck Shop. One day, he stopped Casper Wells of the Toledo Mud Hens who said he would be back

Perrysburg senior wins Hyundai Elantra from Taylor

By Mary Petrides TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

Perrysburg High School seniors gathered in the high school auditorium to watch their class video as part

of their May 26 senior day celebration.

Hidden behind the curtain were three new Hyundai cars — and a senior was about to win one of them.

Michael Skaff, 18, drove away a 2010 Hyundai Elantra. The car was valued at about $19,000.

“Honestly, I didn’t know what to do. I was shocked. I still think it’s unbelievable,” Skaff said.

Steve Taylor, owner of Taylor Automotive Group in Perrysburg, had heard about another car dealership giving away cars as a promotion. He

“Doing it Different. Doing it Right.”

discussed the idea with a parent group at Perrysburg High School.

“We’ve had a great year with Hyundai. Hyundai’s got nothing but fantastic press, great reviews,” Taylor said. “I thought it’d be good to give back to the community that gave back to us.”

This isn’t the first time the dealership has given back. Taylor Automotive has sponsored school athletic teams, yard signs for graduates and the “Sundaes from Hyundai” program where grade-school students earn ice cream for good grades.

“We’ve been involved in quite a few things in the community and schools,” Taylor said. But this is the first time they’ve given away a car.

Since the beginning of the school year, Perrysburg seniors who showed good attendance, good academics and good participation in extracurricular activities could earn entries into the drawing for the car. Michael Short, the high school’s principal, said stu-

dents who had disciplinary problems were automatically eliminated from the drawing.

From about 350 seniors, Taylor said, there were about 2,000 entries.

All year, seniors knew one of them would win the car, and Skaff said it frequently came up in conversation.

“We talked about it all the time,” he said.

He said students worked harder to get As because of the drawing.

After the senior day video, the curtain was pulled back, revealing three cars. Taylor drew 10 names from the pool. Those 10 students were called on stage, and each drew one envelope.

Seven envelopes contained gift cards and three contained keys. The students with keys each chose a car and tried to start it. Skaff ’s key started the engine and he won the car.

“It was shocking. It was very shocking, unbelievable,” Skaff said.

“They were just as shocked as I was,” he said. “They just started asking me for rides and taking them places and whatnot. They still do.”

Taylor said the Elantra was chosen because it would please both high school students and

their parents.

“That car’s won all sorts of awards as far as safety and reliability,” he said. “It’s got a good body design and a good style. We thought it was something a high school senior would be excited to drive, and also something the parents would like.”

Skaff said he drove a 1996 Mazda before he won the Elantra.

windows, because in my old car there weren’t any power windows,” he said.

“Cruise control,” he added. “I didn’t have cruise control in my old car, either.”

Taylor said the dealership has already committed to donating another car next year, but he wants to amp up promotion of the giveaway throughout the year.

“What I want to do is get more involved,” he said, “[to] keep it fresh in their mind that one of

these seniors is going to win this car.”

Taylor said he’s thought about doing “some promotional-type things” at football and basketball games.

“We don’t really know what they’re going to be yet,” he said. “We’ve got some crazy ideas up our sleeve.”

This fall, Skaff will drive the Elantra to Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, where he plans to study video game animation.

Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd to play DTE, Blossom

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

“God and Guns,” Lynyrd Skynyrd’s first studio release in six years, is loaded with political and survival themes, delivered with the group’s three-guitar firepower.

“This country was founded on God and guns, you know, and the Second Amendment,” said Gary Rossington, guitarist and a founding member of the Southern rock band. “We just live out in the country in Florida so you have to protect yourself from bad neighbors if there are any, snakes and gators and things like that, so we believe in guns to protect yourself. Of course, not handguns that you kill people with and run around with hidden.

“And we believe in God, and we think it was better when we used to pray in school and say the Pledge of Allegiance. We’re not really preaching

it, that’s just the way we feel.”

Lynyrd Skynyrd has dealt with a lot of feelings the past three decades.

The rockers took a 10-year break after a 1977 plane crash claimed the lives of singer Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines. Since then, five members have died.

While recording “God and Guns,” the group lost keyboardist Billy Powell, 56, and bassist Ean Evans, 48.

“It was kind of a healing process for us to finish the record for Billy and Ean and play as best we could,” Rossington said during a call from New York City last fall. “They were part of this album and played on some songs and were around when we were starting it, so we wanted to finish it not just for the fans but for them.”

Two songs on the disc, “Storm” and “Gifted Hands,” pay tribute to Evans and Powell, respectively. “[Powell] was a roadie for us, believe it or not, and we got stuck at a show one

night. It was a teen dance at a school, and we waited to load the equipment in the truck because it was raining real hard. So he just sat down at this piano that was in the gym where we played and said, ‘If I was to play ‘Free Bird,’ I’d play it like this,’ and he started playing all the beautiful stuff the way he had made it up; he was a classical piano player. So we fired him that night and hired him,” Rossington said.

Lynyrd Skynyrd — Rossington, lead singer Johnny Van Zant, guitarist Rickey Medlocke, guitarist Mark Matejka, bassist Robert Kearns, keyboardist Peter Keys and drummer Michael Cartellone — will play June 24 at DTE Energy Music Theatre, Clarkston, Mich., and July 8 at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls. Both shows start at 7 p.m. and will feature Bret Michaels and .38 Special. Tickets range from $22 to $65.50.

Odds are fans will hear the new song, “Skynyrd Nation.”

“Every time we look out playing live shows, there are two or three generations out there — there’s older people and their kids and then some of their kids,” Rossington said. “It’s like a ‘Skynyrd Nation ’… You pull up and people are making hot dogs and throwing footballs and playing and having barbecue tailgate parties and

then they come into the show.”

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, Lynyrd Skynyrd has sold 28 million records, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Saturday Night Special” and “Gimme Three Steps” are still staples on classic rock radio.

This makes a huge difference when harpists have to carry harps into churches and recital halls and when playing, he said. With most harps, the harpists must lean the instrument on their shoulders in order to play. As musicians age, this can cause neck and back problems, and many harpists stop playing.

Woodworth won’t perform, however. He doesn’t play.

“I’ve been building for 26 years but still can’t play worth a darn,” he said.

“I’ve been so darn busy building harps that I don’t know when I would have stopped to play them.

His wife, Pamela, plays quite well, he said. According to their website, www.heartlandharps.com, she has released nearly 20 CDs of harp music.

Harp Week participants will give a concert at 7 p.m. June 25 in the Great Gallery in the Toledo Museum of Art. Concert is free and open to the public.

presented his first carbon fiber harp at the festival. Grupp-Verbon was the first to play it publicly.

Since then, Woodworth has built and shipped about 35, he said, and he already has orders for about 20 more. He’s sold carbon fiber harps to people all across the country, and Canada and Australia.

Woodworth said he’s seen other traditionally wooden instruments, like guitars and cellos, made from carbon fiber, but because of a smaller demand, it’s expensive to make harps from carbon fiber. The development cost for carbon fiber harps runs about $25,000, he said — compared to less than $1,000 for wood harps.

Despite the high cost, Woodworth’s customers like the carbon fiber harps. For one thing, they don’t weigh nearly as much as traditional wood harps. A 27-pound wood harp has a carbon fiber equivalent weighing only 11 pounds, he said.

TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAR

Maumee theater to host Godzilla marathon Godzilla has already invaded Tokyo and New York. Thanks to a creative 13-year-old, Toledo is next on his list. This summer, the Maumee Indoor Theater will have a week-long marathon of Godzilla films.

Ty Szumigala, the executive director of the theater, credits the idea of hosting the marathon, dubbed “Godzillathon,” to Connor Krix, a rising eighth grader.

Krix pitched the idea to Szumigala a few months ago. The proposal immediately caught his interest.

“I had to smile and laugh, and thought, I’m going to call him up and see if we can do something this summer!” Szumigala said.

The originality and creativity of the idea intrigued him.

“It just felt right, and I don’t know why,” he said.

The marathon has special signifi-

cance for Krix because a display in front of the theater will give moviegoers information on autism.

Krix has Asperger’s syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder.

His mother suggested placing a display in the theater during the marathon. Szumigala liked the idea — he has had several employees who have Autism — but had no idea that Krix had Asperger’s syndrome.

“She paused for a minute and said, ‘You hadn’t realized’?” he said.

The display will have information from the Autism Society on the disorder and a place for people to leave donations.

Krix said he hopes by helping organize the marathon, other kids who have Asperger’s syndrome will see they are capable of great things.

From June 21-25, the Maumee Indoor Theater will host a marathon

of Godzilla films. Nine films will hit the big screen, two every day with one shown twice. Tickets will be $3.50 or $25 for a week’s worth of classic monster fun. The films will show in the early and late afternoons: noon and 2 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and

Wednesday, and 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.

This is the theater’s first foray into showing specialized films. Szumigala said the theater might have another marathon, perhaps featuring the “Star Wars” films.

Almanac

YOUR TAROTGRAM AND HOROSCOPE

JUNE 20-26, 2010

Sun and Mercury enter Cancer (21st & 25th); Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn (26th) Aries (March 21-April 19)

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Still undecided. Self knowledge is key to good decisionmaking, and time may be running out. It boils down to identifying what you want, regardless of others. A discussion Thursday will make this clear. The eclipse looms over irrevocable changes in progress.

Flash of insight. It takes extra work to put new priorities into place as the week starts. After Wednesday, be wary of reckless, careless people or young adults. Rebellious or illegal acts can trigger waves of consequences as the eclipses approaches over the weekend.

Defend the gates. Skills and income are undergoing a transformative process, but this may not be a very tidy affair. Messages/situations after Thursday pose challenges on several levels, as the eclipse starts grinding down your reality. Stay focused on new possibilities.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Untangling knots. A matter hedged with mixed feelings hits a turning point on Monday. Deep thinking and discussions Wednesday and Thursday will help reframe the issues. Let go of old methods/structures and reach for new ones as the eclipse approaches.

Sensing changes. Matters affecting a partner or best friend’s career occur swiftly this week, and there’s no turning back the clock. Moods and emotions swing sharply after midweek as people struggle to process the past, and come to grips with the challenges ahead.

Innocent or guilty. This week will be intense! Family, relationships, and career may all be in various states of topsy-turvy confusion. The eclipse will tend to make you hypersensitive. Remain calm and grounded, and take mental health breaks as needed.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Brain teasers. Groups and businesses you’re associated with go through swift changes in personnel and policies this week. After Wednesday, people need to vent frustration and disgust with things that aren’t fair or aren’t working. Keep your emotions in balance.

Artist’s signature. Your lifestyle and/or career are at a crossroads, and the outcomes depend very much on who you decide to trust or follow. A person or unrelated issue becomes a perilous distraction after Thursday. Stay on track to protect your own best interests.

Change places. People and situations in various areas of your life are swirling and making (or coping with) major life changes. The vortex of change intensifies after Thursday.

Put on your Kevlar aura shield so emotional turbulence rolls off of you.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Battle of wits. Your instincts compel you to protect your home and to ensure the security of the people and things you care about. By Friday, major makeovers are in progress. High drama ensues as people hit the limits of endurance under the eclipse.

Steady progress. Upsets and upheavals in your work environment change long-term plans. If you have potential alternatives, pursue them very quietly. Drive carefully after Thursday and through the weekend; steer around problematic situations with the same attention.

Owner’s deed. Sell things or let go of material items that no longer serve a purpose. Loved ones, children, or pets will need attention after Wednesday. With the looming eclipse, too much empathy/sympathy can be crippling. Guard your emotions, avoid extremes.

Elizabeth Hazel is a professional tarotist-astrologer and author. She gives readings every Wednesday at Attic on Adams above Manos Greek Restaurant.

AREA

Chloe is a 4 year old white colored lab mix. She is an active and playful dog who would love to find a home with a big yard to run in.

She enjoys going for long walks and playing fetch. Don’t expect Chloe to give the ball back easily. Getting you to chase after her for it is half the fun. Chloe loves people and is always looking for someone to share her time with. She is very smart and good at athletic activities that involve running and jumping.

With a little training, she would make a great agility dog. Chloe likes other dogs and would get along well with a dog who won’t mind her high energy. If she is allowed to get too riled up she may play a little rough so she may not be suitable for a home with younger children. Chloe has been spayed, is up to date on her vaccinations, has been examined by a licensed vet and is microchipped.

Toledo Area Humane Society is located at 1920 Indian Wood Circle, Arrowhead Park, Maumee.

Adoption hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
