Furthermore, this is

inherently Toledo-relevant due to Toledo’s proximity to Ohio’s international border with Canada. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol has jurisdiction to set up check points up to 100 miles from our international border. [Its] Ohio outpost in Marblehead (50 miles from Toledo) has recently been placed under scrutiny by Toledo organizations FLOC and ABLE in a lawsuit alleging racial profiling and harassment of legal residents and U.S. citizens. “The argument that these laws encourage racial profiling is not hyperbole; it is reality. The policies are being challenged before our courts, and there is already data to back it up. “Clearly this is not an issue unique to Arizona, and I think we’ll see more city councils in Ohio begin to take up similar resolutions.” With great respect to Torres’ argument, and an appreciation for the civility in his response, we maintain that the issue is not the legitimacy of the debate; the issue is the time and energy being spent on an issue that should not be competing for priority among the immediate myriad financial challenges and economic crises we face. Torres specifically misses the point when he further argues that our main reason for opposing this resolution is that Arizona’s problem is too far away to affect us. That is both inaccurate and a gross oversimplification. Again, we do not discount the importance of this topic; we contest the relevance of spending time on it (yes, like we are guilty of doing here) when there are so many other important issues to address. This debate is emblematic of why local government is mired in a swamp of inertia and listlessness. It may be too late to stop the train wreck Martinez and McNamara initiated, but the damage to the engine will be long remembered by those more concerned with protecting Toledo than Arizona. Thomas F.

CRIME

Investigator writes about 1975 Ottawa Hills murders By Betsy Woodruff TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

Just before Thanksgiving 1975, a man was smuggled into the home of Harriett Wernert and Velma Bush. He hid in their basement for a few hours, petted their poodle, Frenchie, and bludgeoned the women to death. Wernert was 67 and Bush, her mother, was 97. It was the first recorded murder in Ottawa Hills, an affluent community where residents left their doors unlocked and windows open at night. Frank Stiles, a seasoned detective for the Toledo Police Department, was assigned to the case. In his new book, “Blind Trust,” he tells the story of the killings, the capture and interrogation of the murderers and the trial that followed.

Getting people to talk Stiles joined the Toledo Police Department in 1965 after two years in France with the Army. He won the attention of his superior officers when he began finding key information on crimes that he was not assigned to investigate. The force issued a daily bulletin of serious crimes, and he kept the information on a clipboard. When he spoke with high school students, he would ask them if they knew anything about the crimes, sometimes gaining key information. “I was pretty good at getting people to talk,” he said. He was promoted to the felony squad, where he investigated homicides and burglaries. Because of his reputation as a skilled detective and interrogator, the Ottawa Hills police requested his help when Bush and Wer-

STILES nert were found dead in their home. Stiles worked on the case for three days with no sleep. He solved it on Thanksgiving Day, ate dinner with his family and went to bed. In “Blind Trust,” he includes specific details on the process of preparing to interrogate a suspect, including what kind of rooms he prefers to use for interrogations: small ones with simple furniture and few distractions. “Interrogation is a science,” he said.

Especially thorough Dean Mandros, chief of the criminal division of the Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office, where Stiles now works, said he has a unique talent. “He is relentlessly dogged,” Mandros said. “He is especially thorough as an investigator and he always seems to be able to arrest the right person and get the right person to confess. Some investigators have the knack, some don’t. He has the gift.” The “knack” was key in helping Stiles zero in on three suspects: victim

Wernert’s son, David Wernert; his wife, Patricia Wernert; and their friend, Richard Arterberry. Their motive was money, a $2 million inheritance the killers were impatient to claim. All three murder suspects were tried concurrently so the expert witnesses would not have to make separate trips for each trial. This also meant the second and third defendants would not have an advantage by being able to read witnesses’ testimonies and having extra time to prepare their defenses. The trial was difficult for Stiles and his family. Because the crime’s punishment was the death penalty, the defendants’ lawyers had to argue that their clients were not guilty. “They didn’t have any defense,” Stiles said. “I had full confessions from all their clients so they didn’t have much to work with.” The lawyers based much of their clients’ defenses on q questioningg Stiles’ character. The trial was in the newspaper every day, y, so their argumentss against Stiles weree broadcast throughout ut the community. “All your friends ds and relatives have to o read that garbage until til it’s finally over,” Stiles es said. His youngest son, n, who was 7 at the time me of the trial, once said to him, “Hey, Dad, I saw aw you on TV! They said aid you’re a liar, Dad, butt I know you don’t lie.” He considered quituitting his job during the ordeal, but his desire to protect the communityy kept

him going. “When people abuse people, I want to get them, I want to catch them, put them off the street,” he said. “My family and your family and my friends and relatives live in this community, too, and we want to keep it safe for everybody. Justice should be done. They should have to pay for it. That’s what always kept me going.” The murderers were convicted and Stiles’ reputation was preserved.

Never forget Stiles spent two years writing “Blind Trust,” which was published in April, and is available at local bookstores and www.outskirtspress.com. He also wrote “Evil Brothers,” about his experiences tracking down Anthony and Nathaniel Cook, two brutal serial killers and rapists whose youngest victim was 12 years old. He said he believes telling these stories is important. “These victims sshouldn’t be forggotten,” Stiles said. ““And the murderers shouldn’t d be forgotten eib tther. We should kknow what they d did and never fforget what they did.” d Mandros said Trust” ““Blind has an imporh ttant warning for rreaders. “It’s an ugly part of Lucas County o history, and it’s imh portant for people p to remember to be

careful. It can be dangerous in our community no matter what side of town you live on,” he said. Stiles lectures on law enforcement at many local universities, and students often buy his books to learn more about his successful techniques. Stiles retired from the Toledo Police Department after working there for 25 years. Now he works in the office of Lucas County Prosecuting Attorney Julia Bates as the chief investigator. He focuses on white-collar crimes, including embezzlement and Ponzi schemes, instead of burglaries and murders. He investigated the case of Tom Noe, who stole $13 million from the Ohio Bureau of Worker’s Compensation and illegally funneled $45,000 to Bush’s re-election campaign. Noe was convicted of 29 charges, including corruption, theft, money laundering and tampering with records. He also is investigating Dan Burns, the former chief operating officer of the Cleveland Schools, who embezzled nearly $155,000 from the school district. Stiles is investigating him for a similar incident at the Toledo Public Schools while he was an administrator there. He said transitioning from investigating violent crimes to white-collar crimes was not difficult. “It’s a big difference, but there’s similarities; a theft is a theft. You look for how it’s stolen, and you put those elements together,” he said. Stiles said he preferred his old position because helping victims was more satisfying than protecting large corporations. “I felt like I was doing more of a service by helping victims of violent crimes,” he said.

SPECIAL SERIES: STORMING BACK

Editor’s note: Toledo Free Press will follow the Blank family of Millbury for the next year as they rebuild their lives after a June 5 tornado destroyed their Main Street home. By Brandi Barhite TOLEDO FREE PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR bbarhite@toledofreepress.com

For Julie Blank, the destruction and death caused by last month’s tornado has left her with an appropriately named condition. The 48-year-old homemaker suffered permanent heart damage because of stress cardiomyopathy, also known as “broken heart syndrome.” The syndrome involves a condition where intense emotional or physical stress can cause rapid and severe heart muscle weakness. The onset of the minor damage started when she returned to her property the day after the tornado. She felt like she was walking around in a daze. People were hugging her and asking where to put personal items they found in the debris. She just couldn’t find it in herself to start cleaning up. “That is my stuff, that is my

kitchen, that is what used to be my living room,” Julie said of what was running through her mind. Julie said her housee o was always in order, so to see everything thrown ev-erywhere weighed heavyy on her heart. Then, shee started to think about herr s, neighbors, the Walters, and her heart broke. BLANK “I couldn’t handle that at my house and stuff was in n a heap and that we had d survived and they didn’t,,” she said. The reunion with h her cat, Rippy, gave herr at a little bit of solace that day. He had been in the basement with the family, but when the water lines broke, they think he jumped into a cubby hole. Julie thanks Mark Greenlese, her 15-year-old son’s friend, for saving her cat, who is named after basketball player Rip Hamilton. Mark was spending the night for Casey’s birthday. “When I went upstairs to go to the bathroom, Julie was complaining about Rip going upstairs, so when I

saw him, I grabbed him,” Mark said. At the time, no one thought it would be dangerous for Mark to leave tthe basement, but soon aafter he took shelter aagain, the tornado bore down on the house. d When the family was eevacuating the rubble, JJulie didn’t see Rippy, but efforts were focused FAMILY: heher elsewhere. “I just thought I had tto worry about human llife,” Julie said. But the next day, when a person at the w sscene said a cat had been ffound in a basement and taken to the humane society, Julie said, “Oh my God, it is mine.” When she went to pick up Rippy, he was rumpled-looking and in shock. For the first week, he would not come out of the basement in the house where she and her husband, Ed, and son are staying with the Bihn family. Although Rippy might be ready to move home, the Blank’s house won’t be rebuilt until January at the earliest, according to Julie. They have met with

the designers twice. The house will once again be a two-story with a pool. But this time around, Julie’s kitchen is going to be more spacious. She always said if she had a chance to do it again, she would have a larger kitchen. “We are cleaning the site and getting the basement and deck removed, which is basically junk. Ed and Julie are working with the architect on the blueprints,” said Mark Rigg of Rigg Restoration. This is his first time rebuilding a house destroyed by a tornado. Some of the existing infrastructure like the gas

and electric lines will be reused. With some repairs, the foundation will also be ready to go. “We are going to push the house out by 10 feet and dig and put in a new section of the foundation,” Rigg said. While he didn’t know the Blanks before the tornado, he is happy to help them rebuild their lives with the help of their insurance and whatever else they might want to add. After all, home is where the heart is. “If we can make this part go seamless, they are going to end up with a well-built home,” he said, but “it is a tough way to go about getting a new house.”

CRIME

Agencies arrest 54 people in gang, drug busts By Gail Burkhardt TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

Four law enforcement agencies worked together to reduce gang, gun and drug activity in Toledo during a criminal interdiction special. On June 29, the Toledo Police Gang Task Force, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the FBI arrested 54 people, seized about $4,500 worth of drugs as well as two long guns and one handgun, according to a news release from the Toledo Police Department. Criminal interdiction specials happen two to three times a year, said Lt. Brad Weis, who is in charge of the Toledo Police Gang Task Force. About 50 officers from the four agencies participated in the more than 10-hour effort June 29, he said.

“

Most [gangs] in Toledo are localized neighborhood-based gangs, but they reach out to bigger cities ... for a drug supply.” — Dave Dustin, FBI The Highway Patrol pulled over vehicles and arrested those with outstanding warrants or illegal drugs, said Highway Patrol Lt. John Altman. The FBI focused on arrests and seizures for breaking federal laws such as drug, violent crime, felony weapon possession, racketeering, bank robbery and kidnapping laws, said Dave Dustin, a supervisory special agent for the FBI. ATF, which works to eradicate gun violence, seized weapons during the interdiction special.

“Guns are a tool of the trade in terms of violence and drug trafficking,” said Kyle Walton, the resident agent in charge for ATF’s Toledo office. Walton added that gangs definitely contribute to gun violence in Toledo, but Weis said it is difficult to keep an exact tally of gang-related crimes because gangs are ever-changing. Dustin, whose FBI region covers Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown and Toledo, said gangs can be neighborhood-based or span a larger area. “Most of them in Toledo are localized neighborhood-based gangs, but they reach out to bigger cities a lot of times for a drug supply,” Dustin said. Walton said he thinks a combined effort from different agencies, such as the criminal interdiction special will help fix the gang problem. “We’re going to combine resources and combine our intelligence and work together to reduce this violence, and I think we’re going to be successful,” Walton said.

Tell us why they are unique or why they want to be the Face of FOX Toledo,â&#x20AC;? said Betsy Russell, creative services director at FOX Toledo. Interested candidates should have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;zest for life and be really personable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; excited to talk with people,â&#x20AC;? said Sarah Downs, a FOX Toledo producer who works with the Face.

WEATHER

AOoA, cooling centers help seniors beat the heat By Mary Petrides TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER mpetrides@toledofreepress.com

Hot weather can be a silent disaster, especially for seniors, said Emilie Owens, emergency coordinator for Area Office on Aging (AOoA). When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot and humid for a sustained period of time, death rates rise significantly for seniors, Owens said. The best way to stay hydrated is to drink water and sports drinks. Seniors should avoid alcohol, caffeine and drinks with a lot of sugar. Outdoor activities should be limited to early morning or late evening when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooler. Appropriate clothing is also important.

Lightweight and light-colored clothing, widebrimmed hats, sunglasses and sunscreen can help keep the heat away. Seniors should not be left in a car, where temperatures can rise dangerously high, even with open windows, Owens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within a matter of minutes, that can be deadly,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An open window is not enough to protect someone from the dangers of the heat.â&#x20AC;? The two most serious problems caused by heat are heat exhaustion and heatstroke. A person with heat exhaustion feels dizzy, has a headache, might vomit or sweat profusely and has clammy, pale or flushed skin and a normal body temperature. Those affected should lie down and take a cool bath or

shower and drink a lot of water. More dangerous than heat exhaustion is heatstroke. A person with heatstroke might have difficulty breathing or a change in consciousness â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they might be confused or pass out. A person with heatstroke will have either a rapid or a weak pulse and body temperature can reach 105 degrees. If this happens, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you need to call 911 or emergency assistance right away,â&#x20AC;? Owens said. Seniors should stay indoors during the hottest part of the day. Owens said fans can help, but air conditioning is far better, and seniors should try to spend at least a few hours a day in an air-conditioned location. If their homes are not air conditioned, they can go to a public air-

conditioned location, like a mall or library. AOoA has identified eight emergency cooling centers in the Toledo-Lucas County area, where seniors can play cards, have lunch, discuss books, play bridge, quilt or take computer classes, Owens said. Cooling centers are owned individually, but most receive some funding from AOoA. Owens said AOoA started calling on the senior centers after a 1995 heat wave in Chicago. About 750 people died in two or three days, she said, and two-thirds of them were seniors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided that we have to be advocates to our elderly,â&#x20AC;? Owens said. For information, call (419)382-0624 or visit www.areaofficeonaging.com.

TECHNOLOGY

What every senior should know about identity theft (ARA) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use credit and never go online, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about identity theft, right? Many seniors may feel that philosophy applies to them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more wrong. The very qualities that make some seniors feel safe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a tendency to not use credit much, operating on a cash basis and avoiding technology â&#x20AC;&#x201D; make identity thieves view seniors as very appealing targets, credit experts warn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone with a Social Security number needs to be aware of the risk of identity theft,â&#x20AC;? says Jennifer Leuer, general manager of ProtectMyID.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seniors, however, should be especially vigilant about identity theft protection, because they are often a preferred target of identity thieves and scammers.â&#x20AC;? While identity theft can happen to anyone at any age, seniors may be at greater risk for a number of

reasons, including: â&#x2013; Many states display Social Security numbers on Medicare cards. Even if your card is never lost or stolen, enterprising thieves may be able to snatch the number when you show your card for a legitimate purpose. â&#x2013; Seniors often have more to steal than people of other demographics. They tend to carry higher cash reserves and home equity than other age groups. â&#x2013; Seniors may be less technologically savvy and may be more likely to respond to scams because they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t researched them online. â&#x2013; Seniors may feel less need to closely monitor their credit reports and financial accounts because they tend to use credit less. Identity thieves know that it may be months â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or even years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before senior victims check their credit reports and discover theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been defrauded.

â&#x2013; Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personal identifying information may be exposed to more people through extended caregiver networks, nursing homes, doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices and other service organizations. â&#x2013; Seniors are more likely to trust official-looking e-mails and open unsolicited communications and click on links that could lead to malware or phishing attacks. Common forms of senior identity theft include check fraud, credit card fraud, phone or e-mail solicitations, social networking schemes and Social Security fraud. Fortunately, there are many ways seniors can protect themselves, or adult children can help protect their aging parents, from identity theft. â&#x2013; Never carry your Social Security card with you. If your Medicare card has your Social Security number on it, make a photocopy of the card and

black out everything but the last four digits of your number with a permanent marker. Carry the copy whenever you need to show the card. â&#x2013; Carry only the checks you will need for a specific use on any day. Leave your checkbook at home in a secure location. â&#x2013; Pick up checks at the bank to avoid having them stolen from your mailbox. Better yet, set up direct deposit with the Social Security Administration and any retirement accounts that you regularly draw on, such as pensions or IRAs. â&#x2013; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mail bills or any documents with identifying information from your home mailbox. Learn to pay bills online, if possible, or mail bills and other paperwork from a secure mailbox at the post office. â&#x2013; For seniors who live in assisted care facilities, always lock up financial

statements and any items, including computers, which contain personal information. There are too many people with access to rooms in these facilities to leave sensitive information out for anyone to see. â&#x2013; Use an updated cross-cut or diamond-cut shredder to shred all personal and financial records before you throw them away. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to complete a thorough inventory of all old files â&#x20AC;&#x201D; receipts, financial statements, taxes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; shred the ones that are no longer needed and secure the ones that are. â&#x2013; Know who to call. You can opt out of credit card offers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which thieves may use to steal your identity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by calling (888) 567-8688. If you believe your Social Security number may have been compromised, call the Social Security Administration fraud line at (800) 269-0271.

Myths about the aging brain revealed (ARA) — Who says you can’t teach a mind new tricks at any age? Recent research shows that Americans have the power to positively influence their brain function throughout life — an important realization that is especially relevant for the more than 78 million baby boomers in the United

States. Brain health is one of the top health-related concerns of aging populations and has been identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a public health priority. “The fear of memory loss and losing brain capacity looms large among the minds of boomers,” said

Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a leading neurologist and author of “The Memory Cure.” “But we can maintain and even improve our brain health as we age. In fact, our brains have the ability to grow and change throughout life.” Fotuhi said he can debunk four common myths surrounding the

brain and aging. 1. The brain stops growing after childhood. Research increasingly suggests that each time a new skill is learned, such as playing an instrument, speaking a foreign language or even dancing, new pathways are formed and areas of the brain may grow, even well into the later years. 2. Once I start experiencing memory loss, it’s all downhill and there’s not much I can do. A new study published online in May in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, showed that healthy people with memory complaints who took algal DHA capsules for six months had almost double the reduction in errors on a test that measures learning and memory performance

versus those who took a placebo, a benefit roughly equivalent to having the learning and memory skills of someone three years younger. 3. Memory problems must mean Alzheimer’s disease. Research shows that more than 80 percent of people will never get Alzheimer’s disease. Emerging research indicates that many people experiencing memory loss and dementia actually have mixed pathologies in their brains. 4. Brightest equals youngest. Today’s society does place an emphasis on age but, keep in mind, people older than 65 rule the country. The majority of legislators, doctors, lawyers, judges, economists and CEOs are not in their 30s or 40s, but seasoned veterans who bestow several decades of experience and expertise.

Lambertville woman writes book on loss and grieving By Mary Petrides TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER mpetrides@toledofreepress.com

When Jan Hudson of Lambertville, lost her husband four and a half years ago, she didn’t have what she needed to heal. “I was looking everywhere,” she said. “[I thought] I must be the only person that feels this way.” So Hudson wrote a book and founded a group HUDSON to help others. She recently self-published her book “Cry when you cry, and that’s okay … A Mourning Journal.” The spiral-bound book contains about 20 pages with photographs — Hudson is a professional photographer — and inspirational words. Most of the pages, however, are blank, with lines for journaling. “It just basically takes you through the first six to eight months of the mourning process,” she said. “As it goes on, it gets progressively ‘I did better today,’” she said. “You’re crying, but all of a sudden as you’re going through it you say, ‘Oh, I’m getting better,’” said Donna Vaughn, Hudson’s friend. Bookstores and libraries carry books on grieving, but not books like

this, said Vaughn, who lost her husband about six years ago. “The book is something that’s totally different than anything I’ve ever tried to find,” Hudson said. “Even … being this many years away from it, it’s one of those things that you pick it up and you open it up and you read the beginning, and all of a sudden you find yourself crying.” Hudson also began Widow Strength, an informal group for people who have lost spouses, children, parents or friends. The group is mostly women older than 40, Hudson said, but there’s no rule. The group meets about once a month, usually at Hudson’s house, and the members talk. “We need somebody who’s gone

Vaughn said even when the journal’s pages are full, it is a good keepsake to have. “[It shows] even yourself that you made it, you made it through,” she said. “Even though you never get over it, you made it through.

“There’s a light at the end of the journey, so just keep walking,” Hudson said. Hudson’s book sells for $24.95 at www.widowstrength.net. She has sold more than 500 copies.

THE RETIREMENT GUYS

Use buckets to bail out a sinking investment ship O ne of my favorite pastimes is boating. Usually I, Nolan, spend most my spare time on Lake Diane, in Michigan, floating around on my pontoon “Sunshine,” named after my 7-year-old son, Andrew’s nickname. I recently started teaching him about boating. Those who don’t know or follow the rules of boating and water safety can find themselves in trouble with the Coast Guard, other boaters or in serious danger with Mark the water. Nolan In light of the recent volatility in the stock market, many retirees feel like they are on a sinking ship when it comes to their investment accounts. Knowing how to navigate not only during the calm times, but also during the storms, with the right buckets in place, investors can learn how to survive the storm and have a relaxing ride long into the future. Planning for an emergency before a crisis hits is the first step. On the water, a boater only has a small window of time to solve major problems that could arise at any time. Knowing where and what the bilge pump switch is or how to get into the engine compartment to bail out water is important information to know in emergencies if the boat begins to sink, keeping everyone out of the dangerous water. Jumping ship and swimming too soon can cause a person to lose body heat, which escapes 25 times faster in water than in cold air. If water is the only choice, learning simple techniques, such as tucking your body together and keeping movement to a minimum, can save a life when

someone goes into the water. Investors should have a bucket ready for an emergency. That should involve having enough short-term money set aside in an account if the car breaks down, a job is lost, a family member needs help or an unexpected crisis hits. A good rule of thumb is to keep three to six months worth of income set aside in an emergency account. If investors address these short-term emergencies, they oftenCLAIR times can avoid the BAKER dangers caused by an emergency. Just because the sun is shining, doesn’t mean it will be shining for the whole ride. Things change in an instant. It could be a fast-moving storm or a broken-down boat. Knowledgeable boaters know it is a good idea to have a cooler of food and extra clothes in case the ride lasts longer than expected. I can’t count the number of times I have had to tell passengers to go back up to the house and get more gear to be better prepared. A bucket of money a retiree might want to have ready for the ride is a current income account. This is a second bucket of money that can be used if long-term equities don’t work out as fast as originally planned. Usually, it is a good idea to keep about three to five years’ worth of retirement money in this bucket. Since this bucket needs to be there for planned income needs, try filling up the bucket with safe investments like money market accounts, bank CDs, or fixed annuities. Doing this allows the investor to better weather an unexpected storm.

We feel investors’ long-term accounts are best invested in a bucket of money in equities and bonds. History has shown that in the long haul, investments that have more upside potential like stocks offer the greatest potential over time. The key is having time on your side. Yet, just as it would be foolish for a boater to head straight into a storm, an investor might want to make sure an alternative course is in place to protect their long-term holdings if a double-dip recession hits or when another major market

decline happens. Have a planned exit strategy ready to go. Investors starting to panic in light of the recent stock market correction or getting ready to jump ship should review the plan in place. Do you have the buckets ready? Once an investor understands the purpose of each account and has a handle on a comfortable plan of action it can be much easier to stick to the plan and avoid jumping ship. Once a solid plan is in place, sit back and relax. Get ready to enjoy

the ride of your life.

Giving circles offer means to pool funds for charity By Cynthia Roepke SPECIAL TO TOLEDO FREE PRESS

Giving circles have emerged as a popular means to collectively practice charitable living. Individuals pool their funds, encourage volunteerism,

share knowledge of philanthropic opportunities and bestow grants. Typically, groups gather informally around a common social dimension and do not affiliate themselves with any formal organization. Members of giving circles are provided an oppor-

tunity to learn, share and grow as philanthropists and community leaders. Circle members describe themselves as “more capable to participate in community change.” We all have heard the horror stories in the news of mismanaged do-

nations. Reports following Hurricane Katrina were full of horrific scams and embezzlement schemes. It is increasingly difficult to measure impact as the scope of an organization grows. Giving circles change donors’ giving and community involvement in positive and significant ways. The group’s research and cooperative knowledge gives members a deeper understanding of the impact of their contributions. A measurable impact is one of the most important factors in the selection of a beneficiary. Members of giving circles are more likely to make multi-year gifts and give more, on average than donors who are not in giving circles. As the size of a giving circle increases, studies show that members’ belief in volunteerism and giving de-

creases. This is generally thought to be a dynamic of the engagement level of the members. Smaller groups with longer tenured membership have proven to be the most effective when measuring average donations and volunteerism. Washington Womenade was started by a group of friends in 2001 to raise money for people who needed various kinds of help. Not a penny of their fund goes to overhead, but directly to people in need. Their slogan is “When you have Women, Make Womenade.” Cynthia Roepke earned the professional designation of CFP, awarded by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards.

Troops can buy temporary license plates LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan’s Secretary of State says military personnel should consider a temporary and cheaper alternative to buying a full-year license plate for their vehicles. Terri Lynn Land said in a release that service members and others can buy short-term license plates for vehicles they drive infrequently. A 30-day plate costs one-tenth of the vehicle’s annual registration fee — or $20 — plus a $10 service fee. A 60-day plate costs one-fifth of the registration fee — or $40 — plus the fee. The plate is a paper permit that must be displayed in the rear window. Residents can apply for the temporary plates at any Secretary of State office with proof of no-fault insurance and vehicle ownership.

Browning Masonic Community in Waterville is hosting its eighth annual Classic Car Show and Cruise-in on July 24. “It’s primarily a community event with Waterville. It started about nine years ago, when we wanted to incorporate Browning, an assisted living and independent living community, into Waterville as a whole,” said David Subleski, president of Browning Masonic Community. “We wanted to tie Browning more in with the village itself rather than look at it as a separate entity.” The show will feature more than 200 vintage cars, trucks and motorcycles, as well as various family-friendly activities, Subleski said. “All these people want to come out to a nice car show, this is a car show with things to do,” said Randy Sikorski, owner and operator of Waterville Bodyworks a co-sponsor of the car show. Waterville Bodyworks has been helpful in getting classic cars to the event, Subleski said. “We try to give [Browning] what we can give them. The car show makes a big community thing for the town of Waterville,” Sikorski said. More than 40 vendors, including craft booths, flea markets and farmer

On July 10, classic car enthusiasts will gather in downtown Bowling Green as the city hosts its ninth annual Classics on Main Car Show. Beginning at noon, hundreds of car exhibitors will line Main Street with their classic cars to be judged by categories. Others will do it just to be in the company of hundreds more who share their passion for their cars. Main Street will be closed for the day, allowing room for the car show that stretches from the library to the post office. Amy Ahrens, a local business owner who also helps organize the event, said the car show is a great way to get people into the downtown BG area. She said that in the past, the event has drawn more than 300 people who bring their classic cars, plus hundreds more. “The car show really helps out small businesses downtown because of all the people it brings to the area,” she said. “Hopefully, we’ll have some good weather.” Vehicle registration is from 8 a.m. to noon on July 10 and is $10, but visitor admission is free.

Country Pals, a country and bluegrass group, will play from noon to 1 p.m. and 93.5 WRQN’s Bob Kelly will also play 50s and 60s music all day on site. Many activities will benefit area charities. Residents of the retirement community will run white elephant and furniture sales benefiting various resident activities and charities. Rubicon Lodge #237, a lodge of free and accepted masons on campus, supports the Ohio Special Olympics through a barbecue chicken dinner from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Other charities that benefit will be the Masonic Learning Centers for Children, through popcorn and snow cone sales, and the Waterville Historical Society through ice cream sales. “[The residents] love it. Not just the men, but the women, go out and look at some of the cars,” Subleski said. “They love showing off the community to people who aren’t familiar with Browning. It’s kind of like opening up their home.” The classic car show runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Browning Masonic Community campus, 8883 Browning Drive. Admission is free.

Lenawee County dealerships weather changes By John Mulcahy (ADRIAN) DAILY TELEGRAM

ADRIAN, Mich. — The shakeup in the automobile industry in the past 18 months has had some repercussions in Lenawee County, but several area car dealers say they are optimistic despite changes and uncertainties. All of Lenawee County’s dealerships were spared the ax last spring when General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Corp. announced they would close large numbers of dealerships. Since then, Congress has mandated an arbitration process for dealerships slated to close, which the car companies must complete by July 15. Then earlier in June, the Ford Motor Co., which did not accept government bailout money last year, announced it will quit making the Mercury brand, which means a significant change for the Dave Knapp Ford-Lincoln-Mercury dealership in Adrian. “Obviously, any time you lose a franchise, you hate to see that,” said Jeff Gordon, a partner in the dealership. Mercury models are the Milan, Mariner, Mountaineer and Grand Marquis. Mercury sales represent about 20 percent of the dealership’s business, Gordon said. In its place, Ford is planning seven new or redesigned models of Lincoln, some of them lower priced than the traditional Lincoln, he said. “They’re still going to have some of that product out there for the Mercury customer,” Gordon said. While car buying is picking up some, it’s hard on both customers and the dealership to lose a brand, Gordon said. “You’re going to lose that loyal Mercury customer,” he said. “Hopefully, they’ll go to Lincoln.” While the Dave Knapp dealership is losing a franchise, at the Greg Bell Chevrolet Cadillac dealership, it was more like a close call during the restructuring announcements last summer. “I was told while it was happening that I was going to lose Cadillac, but I was given that back,” owner Matt Bell said. The dealership sells about 150 Cadillacs a year, accounting for about 25 percent of sales, Bell said. At the Dave Knapp Chevrolet Buick dealership in Blissfield, general manager Dale Wotring said his dealership was told last summer that it would lose its Buick franchise, but the dealership got a reprieve earlier this year when GM announced reinstatement of a large number of franchises it had intended to close.

“It was very good news,” Wotring said. “We’ve got a very loyal Buick clientele.” The dealership had already lost one brand with the announcement in

the spring of 2009 that GM would stop making the Pontiac brand. The dealership still has two new Pontiacs on its lot, Wotring said. Clift Buick GMC in Adrian also

lost the Pontiac brand, but owner Garry Clift said the car market is improving “dramatically.” “I’m having a hard time getting enough [cars] right now,” Clift said.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Association estimates that under-inflated tires contribute to more than 600 fatalities and 33,000 injuries a year. To help keep your car and tires road-worthy, make sure you check your tire pressure at least once a month and before every long trip (including the spare). Keep tire pressure at the level recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Under-inflation creates excessive stresses and heat and may lead to tire failure that could result in vehicle damage and serious injury or death. Another problem to watch out for is tires and wheels that are out of balance or misaligned, which can cause uneven wear or vehicle problems.

IN CONCERT

Black Diamond offers Neil Diamond tribute By Jeff McGinnis TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

About 10 years ago, Theron Denson was working at a hotel in

West Virginia. He was informed by human resources that he had to stop singing to the guests. “My first thought was to say, ‘Oh, that’s fine.’ Because I figured it was just a matter of time before some guest

complained about my constant serenades,” Denson said. “And they said, ‘No, no, no, actually it’s not the guests that are complaining. They love it. It’s your co-workers.’” Instead of bowing to the pres-

sure, Denson decided to give his two weeks notice. “They said, ‘We figured you might say that, so here’s your final check, and you don’t have to bother coming back tomorrow.’ I walked out of that hotel, and I suddenly realized that I have no income, no insurance, no medical, no dental, no check coming in each week,” he said. “So, I looked up at heaven and I said, ‘God, it looks like it’s you, Neil Diamond and me.’” Wait. Neil Diamond? Oh, yes. On the day Denson walked out of that hotel in 2000, the “Black Diamond” was born. Denson holds the unique distinction of being the only AfricanAmerican Neil Diamond tribute act in America. In this unusual guise, he has toured the country, opened for major entertainers and even performed a nightly show in Las Vegas. On July 15, “The Black Diamond Experience” will make its debut at M.T. Loonies in Temperance. Denson said he never had any desire to be an entertainer growing up. The son of a career military man, Denson and his family naturally moved around a lot. He was the middle of five kids, and “all of them probably sing better than me,” Denson said with a chuckle. He also had no idea who Neil Diamond was. The soundtrack of his childhood was provided by acts like the Four Tops and Donna Summer. So the exploits of the famous sequin-clad crooner were far off his radar. “I ended up going to a predominantly Caucasian church, where the members would hear me singing and they would turn around, kind of stunned, and say, ‘My goodness, young man. Anyone ever tell you that you sound like Neil Diamond?’ And I thought, ‘Who is Neil Diamond?’ I thought he went to my church,” Denson said. The years of comparisons led to a budding admiration for the famous singer and after a few karaoke experiences, the seed of an idea was born — one which bloomed after his hotel career ended. For 10 years now, he has made a living as the one and only Black Diamond. Denson is nothing if not hard working — a typical Black Diamond performance features a full set list of Diamond’s most popular songs, numerous costume changes, audience participation and more. The goal, he insists, is always for the audience to simply have fun — even if, at first, they don’t know what to make of him. “If they haven’t seen the show be-

DENSON fore, the initial response is to just cock their head over to one side and squint their eyes incredulously. And that’s usually for the first five minutes,” Denson said, laughing. “But after that, it tends to be well and warmly received.” His ability to win over his somewhat puzzled audiences has led to some remarkable opportunities for Denson in his career, from performing for Sen. John Kerry to opening for acts like Boyz II Men, Taylor Dayne and “professional mentors and personal friends” the Pointer Sisters, to an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2003. “I got to meet some really cool people in the deal,” Denson said, mentioning Macy Gray and Pat O’Brien, among others. “And then, after the show, [Kimmel] took me bowling!” But the highest compliment of all came from King Errisson, a percussionist who has played conga drums with the real Neil Diamond since 1976. “He took me to dinner in Las Vegas and has basically expressed interest in sitting in on a Black Diamond show! Can you imagine what that would be like, for me to have Neil Diamond’s own percussionist sitting in at a Black Diamond show?” Perhaps that would bring Denson even closer to one of his biggest dreams — a performance with Diamond himself. He speaks with awefilled reverence at the mention of such an idea. “Here’s a man whose name I have heard most every day of my life since I was 11 years old. And little did I know that his name, and his music and his career would have such an effect on my life, personally and professionally.”

Theater League schedule includes ‘Color Purple,’ ‘Legally Blonde’ By Kristen Rapin TOLEDO FREE PRESS SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR krapin@toledofreepress.com

Theater League’s 2010-11 season at the Stranahan Theater seeks to mix recent Broadway productions with musical revivals. “One of our roles in Toledo is not only to present the most current productions, but also the classics by professional touring companies,” said Mark Edelman, Theater League president. “We love [the season’s] diversity — the old and new and special.” Eight productions are scheduled to come to the Stranahan this season, with additional productions under discussion, Edelman said. “A Chorus Line” is scheduled for Oct. 28 to Oct. 31; “Rain” Jan. 18 and Jan. 19; “Fiddler on the Roof” Feb. 3 to Feb 6;

“Riverdance” Feb. 15 and Feb. 16; “The Color Purple” March 10 to March 13; “Cirque Dreams Illumination” April 7 to April 10; “Stomp” April 26 and April 27; and “Legally Blonde” May 5 to May 8. Ward Whiting, executive director of Stranahan Theater, said he meets with Theater League to review what is available and they come to a mutual agreement about what to present. “They are all very good shows. We’re coming off of a recession, during which some tours actually cancelled. We’re trying to get our theater back into the schedule of all the shows going on this year,” Whiting said. “The Color Purple” and “Legally Blonde” are two new Broadway productions this season, Edelman said. “‘Legally Blonde,’ because it was taped live for MTV, has created a whole new audience,” he said.

BEER OF THE MONTH 4VIJIVVIH (IWMVIH 7EZSVIH Red is bold. Passionate. Maybe even a little defiant. Red is everything that mirrors the heart and soul of master brewer, George Henry Killian Lett as he developed the full-bodied lager that bears his name. The year is 1864. Rather than copycat the dark, heavy ales of the day, Lett brewed the first batch of his handcrafted lager using his recipe of caramelized malt, which introduced the alluring color of Killian’s Irish Red and provides a surprisingly smooth taste. What started all those years ago in Ireland continues today in America. Coors Brewing Company in Golden, Colorado, proudly brews every frothy pint of Killian’s that embodies the same richness and flavor of its Irish tradition. In a world of blondes and brunettes, where red stands out, George Killians Irish Red has more flavor than most yellow beers. It has more drinkability than darker beers. Find out for yourself why red has such an appeal.

Ask for Killian’s Irish Red at your favorite restaurant or beverage retailer. ADVERTISEMENT

Season ticket prices are influenced by which shows come to the area, Whiting said. This season allows season ticket holders to see five productions. “We’re trying to keep the season tickets at a reasonable level. We try to

be very sensitive to what Toledo can afford,” Whiting said. The popularity of “Wicked” stimulated interest in season ticket sales this year, Whiting said. Whiting and Edelman said the

organizations are now looking to the next season, 2011-12, which could include productions of “Jersey Boys” and “Mary Poppins.” To purchase individual or season tickets, visit www.stranahantheater.com.

When you no longer wear it, share it.

Help a kid start the school year right. The ﬁrst day of school can be tough for kids.

But you can help – by donating new or gently used school clothing July 5–18 to Clothing your Community’s Back2School Drive. The clothing you donate will be distributed in August to area families in need. Whether you give your family’s own gently-used school clothes or pick up a few extra items when you do your own back-to-school shopping, your gifts will give youngsters in our community a better start to the school year.

Drop off your donations July 5–18 at any of these Back2School collection sites: The Andersons • Fifth Third Banks • Lasalle Cleaners • YMCA/JCC • Cherry Street’s LifeBridge Center • Questions?
