Publisher’s statement

Taxing decisions

T

here is no question that the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Lucas County deserves community support.

As does Lucas County Children Services. As does the ToledoLucas County Public Library. As does Toledo Public Schools. As do the region’s Metroparks, and, separately, Toledo city parks and recreation facilities.

But when all of these organizations, along with Imagination Station and possibly others, are likely on the same ballot with levy requests, difficult choices will have to be made.

According to the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce, if all these levies pass, those living in the Toledo Public Schools district who own a home worth $100,000 would see a $345.21 per year increase in their taxes.

If you own a home worth $150,000, your increase will be $517.81. If your home is worth $200,000, your increase will be $690.42. That Thomas F. Pounds represents more than a few dinners out, movies, zoo trips, Mud Hens games or other activities, not to mention such niceties as groceries, utilities and savings.

As a side note, be wary of media and levy-seeking groups that use the $60,000 home median instead of the standard $100,000 median.

That is a disingenuous attempt to make the levies sound like less of an investment than they are.

During the 2008 presidential election, voters passed levies for the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority, Imagination Station’s precursor COSI, Mental Retardation Board, Mental Health Board and Children Services and several school levies. But this deep into the economic recession, even these most vital of services may find themselves facing fewer voters willing to reach deeper into their pockets.

It may be seem logical that higher voter turnout may mean more support for levies, but that thesis will be tested this year as never before. Each of the organizations will need to work to educate the voting public on its services and needs; as unpleasant and distasteful as they may find the idea, these organizations are not only fighting the economy — they are fighting each other.

The idea has been floated to create an “umbrella” levy that would cover several human services, but that would remove voter accountability from the individual organizations and is therefore not an option scrutinizing voters are likely to support.

Toledo Free Press will endeavor to report on every ballot issue and levy as fall approaches, and each organization is invited to submit guest columns for publication. There may be four months until Election Day, but it is never too early to begin the education process when there are levies in question. O Thomas F.

Ritchings is similarly blunt when spinning the webs of conflict that wrap In “Winter in a Summer Town,” Bonneville, fresh out of high school and recovering from the violent end of around Bonneville’s commitment to truth, from his editor his boxing career, bangs on a typewriter in a Jersey Shore news- Frank to his closest family members: “He lands a story that room, surrounded by career writers who view his enthusiasm lays bare forty years of organized crime and political corrupwith the weariness forged by a lifetime spent creating newspa- tion, and Frank isn’t impressed. But when the saloon where pers (those monuments to products that are blood, sweat and Frank drinks for free gets busted up, that gets his attention?”

A more experienced reporter in the story, Nick Poliindispensable today, destined for the trash tomorrow).

Bonneville crusades to publish the tales of an old- andro, offers some sober advice to Bonneville. “[Reporters] are always hearing things. Usually, somebody’s school gangster, “Matty The Mule” Esposito, and Ritchings is merciless in using his main character to reveal trying to use you and your newspaper to ruin somebody else. the basest impulses and unfair gantlets young journalists It’s all part of the political game, if you want to play it.”

In the same scene, Ritchings offers more insight into must survive to practice their craft. journalism than many textbooks even hint at.

It is rare to read a story that is simul“Journalism 101, man,’ [Nick said]. ‘In a story like this, taneously sentimental and clinically for each thing Esposito claims, you need at least two more cold to its players, and Ritchings unrelated sources to corroborate it. Witnesses, documents, maintains a balance that is as bleak physical evidence. You need proof that’ll hold up in court if as it is inspiring. somebody sues the paper for libel.’

The mechanics of the story weave ‘Sounds like an incredible amount of work,’ Eddie said, threads from hard-boiled mysteries, realizing both stories he’d written were inadequate and a long clear-eyed love stories and tornway from being ready for print, and he hadn’t even known it. from-the-headlines crime tales with RITCHINGS ‘It’s tedious, it’s expensive, and it’s risky,’ Nick said. drifts of “The Sopranos” and a “For‘Then once it’s published it’s a headache, because rest Gump” touch with historical figures, but it is the implementation of journalism atmo- you’re under attack by people with real power to f**k you up.

Readers who have worked in journalism will recognize “And in the end, is anybody really listening?’

‘I guess so,’ Nick said, ‘or we ought to be in another line the slime that oozes around and threatens to drown Bonneville’s righteous fight; those who have never stepped inside of work’.”

Opinion

A4 n Toledo Free Press n MILLER CONTINUED FROM A3 “But the men who question power, especially when the questioning is disinterested, make a contribution just as indispensable, for it is they who determine whether we use power, or power uses us.”

The important point, as Ritchings emphasizes, is that solitary word disinterested, which Ritchings defines as “the opposite of angry and selfish … Disinterested means instead of wasting time and energy on public tantrums, you apply it efficiently within the system to change what’s wrong. You do what’s effective, not what feels good, because in the final analysis it always comes down to who has the most votes.”

As one of Ritchings’ characters remarks, “It’s hard to imagine a president even talking about such things now.”

That observation is made in Ritchings’ fictional 1970, but it applies exponentially more in our modern era. The same can be said for Ritchings’ comments on journalism, politics and the often shady world where the two dance on the public’s expectations, entitlements and rights.

Ritchings has written a novel in which the story of a young man’s personal and professional coming of age is a mirror of its times, an oracle of its country’s future and a vivid tableau of our present.

ART

By Caitlin McGlade

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer cmcglade@toledofreepress.com

Some of Robert Heindel’s dancers look as though they might peel themselves off the canvas to dance before your eyes. Loosely laced to thickets of hues and shapes, the figures compose their own nuances of sorrow and joy, love and attraction.

It’s typically not their faces that tell the story — for their features are often vague and blended — but it is the motion of their bodies that speaks, paused forever in a quiet universe where the beauty of the human condition is the only thing that matters.

You might hear the dancers’ whispers because Heindel labored over capturing each of their emotions and personalities when he painted them.

He got to know them and stood in during rehearsals to study every move.

“He got under the skin of the person he was looking at,” said Colin Rawlings, Heindel’s former agent. “If they were having a bad day, you could see it in the drawing.”

Heindel’s work is permanently on display at the Smithsonian Institution, the Glasgow Museum and the National Portrait Gallery in the United Kingdom, and elsewhere. Before his death, his paintings sold for as much as $55,000; now they’re selling for the equivalent of $130,000 in the U.K., Rawlings said.

Heindel palled around with princesses and dignitaries, sold paintings to Princess Diana and become a household name among Japanese royalty during his life.

“He’s America’s best-kept secret,”

Rawlings said. “He’s celebrated in Japan, he’s celebrated in Europe, but for one reason or another, America never really got it.”

And here’s a little-known fact: The late ballet-painting superstar was born and raised in Toledo.

Toledo exhibit

Heindel and his wife Rose moved away from Toledo after they married and started having children, but Rose and at least 30 of his paintings are making the trek home for a show starting July 18. Sur-Saint Clair, at the corner of Washington Street and St. Clair Street, will feature a range of Heindel’s artwork and many of them will be for sale, said Richard Rideout, who runs the gallery with his wife, Janet Albright.

The opening will commence with a 5 p.m. VIP reception, in which major donors will be able to meet Rose. The gallery opens to the public at 7 p.m. and the exhibit will continue through July 20, running from 7-9 p.m. There is a $5 fee to help cover expenses incurred by shipping paintings from all over the country, Rideout said. If you miss the show, you can call the gallery and make an appointment to see Heindel’s work July 21 and 22.

Rideout said he first saw Heindel’s art at a friend’s house in Florida. He was struck with Heindel’s ability to capture motion.

“His story is extremely intriguing and being from Toledo — and there’s the fact that he’s got all this fame and notoriety and talent and I’d never heard of him before and no one else in Toledo had really,” Rideout said.

The Beginning

Heindel was born to a single mother at St. Vincent’s Hospital in 1938. He was then adopted by a couple who could not have children.

He started drawing at an early age, stealing time between classes at Central Catholic High School to jot down illustrations. But he also had another love at a young age: Rose.

She was attending Libbey High School but her sister, who went to Central Catholic, introduced Robert to Rose when they were in their early teens. Young Robert asked her out multiple times, but Rose’s parents wouldn’t let her date him until she was 16 years old. By then, the two were inseparable.

Heindel’s parents didn’t have the money to send him to art school, so he took correspondence courses through the Famous Artists School during high school. The East Coast-based company would send him assignments and he would complete drawings and send them back for judging.

The couple married shortly after high school graduation and they later moved to Akron. Shortly thereafter, they moved to the Detroit area, where Heindel put his modest training to work for an ad agency, drawing up advertisements for new car models that ran in print media.

But he wanted to go farther.

“I remember one day in the late 1960s, they lived in Detroit and were moving to Westport, Conn., and he said he needed an agent, someone in New York City that was privy to the illustrator world,” said longtime friend Jim Fisher. n HEINDEL CONTINUES ON A7

n HEINDEL CONTINUED FROM A6 “The next thing I know, a year or so later, his work is on the front cover of TIME magazine — and that was during the Watergate years!”

For TIME, Heindel sketched a portrait of Daniel Ellsberg, who released the controversial Pentagon Papers. He also sketched covers for Redbook and Ladies’ Home Journal.

Heindel knew, even as he was breaking into the commercial art world, that he wanted to eventually foray into fine art. But it wasn’t until Rose convinced him to join her at a ballet that he figured out how to get there.

Rose had always wanted to take ballet lessons as a child but her parents could never afford it.

“I wanted to go to the ballet and I remember saying ‘Why don’t we do this?’ and he did not want to do it,” Rose said. “He finally said ‘OK,’ and that was the beginning.”

International success

From then on, Heindel introduced himself to ballet troupes, earning their trust and spending hours watching the dancers rehearse, snapping pictures at just the right times.

“He rarely painted them in the performance,” recalled his son, Troy Heindel. “He thought that painting them while they were rehearsing was a more true reflection of the person because once they were out in front of the audience, guards went up and people were less exposed.”

Troy had two brothers: Todd and Toby. Troy said their images frequently made their way into his father’s paintings after long modeling sessions before a camera. But you’ll seldom see three boys together in Heindel’s renditions: He’d make Troy out to be the girl in the trio.

Heindel’s first big exhibit was in 1979, at the American Illustrators Gallery in Atlanta. The following few years he set up shows in Missouri, Texas, Washington D.C., California and Cincinnati. Then, in 1984, he made his big break

in London at The Stables Gallery, followed by shows at The Royal Opera House and the Royal Festival Hall.

It was that show that landed him an opportunity to work with one of the theater’s most noted luminaries: Andrew Lloyd Webber. The composer saw his work at the hall and immediately asked Heindel if he would paint scenes from “Cats” and “Phantom of the Opera.”

Heindel’s resulting work is haunting: many of the Phantom pieces are laden with dark colors and ghost-like figures that smear themselves across the canvas while leaving a heavy and frenetic afterglow.

A book called “Moving Pictures,” which celebrates Heindel’s life and works, describes Heindel’s “Jellicle Ball” painting as a “ferocious surge” from “Cats.”

“A mass of humanoid felines, cuddly and murderous, furry and psychotic, just baying for blood,” the book reads.

“And that one pair of focused black eyes behind the marmalade hair, stares straight into yours. Stare back and you are lost.”

Heindel continued to paint ballet, garnering attention from the royal family in England, particularly as Princess Diana bought more of his pieces.

Rawlings said Heindel fans are drawn to the allure of his subjects.

“There’s a sexual charge in much of the work — it’s very subtle but it is there,” Rawlings said. “There are not many forms of art where you can legitimately go and enjoy bodies.”

But Heindel’s paintings took a turn when tragedy struck.

Somber paintings

His son, Toby, was diagnosed with cancer. He had been living in Los Angeles, working to become a movie director.

He died in 1990 at 30 years old. Troy said his father’s way of working through the loss was to paint, and in his grief he created pieces that differed from much of his previous work. n HEINDEL CONTINUES ON A8

Sleep AND YOUR BEST PERFORMANCE

A good night’s sleep makes all the difference in the way you perform throughout your day. If you sleep well, you tend to have good concentration. However, people with obstructive sleep apnea may not get a good night’s sleep and may not even realize it.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) means “being without breath.” It’s when the upper airway repetitively closes during sleep. It can occur hundreds of times nightly. Many conditions contribute to OSA, including being older than 40, being overweight, having high blood pressure, and having a larger neck circumference. The only way OSA can be detected is through a sleep study prescribed by your family physician. n

‘Painted Wall #40’ by Robert Heindel.

n HEINDEL CONTINUED FROM A7 “They’re very somber paintings,” Troy said. “One shows my brother’s head, and his beautiful face, and below the cancer is eating him up.”

Shortly after Toby’s death, Heindel helped design the set and costumes for a performance called “The Dance House,” which centered around the AIDS epidemic. The paintings portraying the performance are dark.

“The performance was sad … there are a lot of scary pictures in it that are about death and life,” Troy said.

But Heindel’s first major collection of work after Toby died consisted of paintings under the “Penguin Cafe” title. These paintings covered a ballet by David Bintley about endangered species. The dancers in Heindel’s pieces are wearing animal suits; one of his subjects stands offkilter in a penguin suit, carrying a tray of drinks in a seemingly haphazard way. Another painting shows a human in a zebra costume blending into the back end of an actual zebra,

twisting with pain.

Toby’s death also inspired the painter to call upon memories from a vacation to Africa that he and Rose had taken before Toby’s death. African wall paintings suddenly resonated with Heindel and he started creating his “Painted Wall” collection — his first and only images that were not born from dance or theater.

The “Moving Pictures” book quotes Heindel’s reflection on his wall paintings: “The art is so primal, so basic to the human condition, that Toby’s death started to fit. They may look to the casual observer as mere decoration, but I hope people will recognize that there’s something more. I can’t stop painting figures, but I needed to paint these abstracts.”

Fear of rejection

Also somewhat different from Heindel’s typical ballet paintings are his depictions of noh and Kabuki, traditional styles of Japanese theater and dance. Some of these paintings

contain no bodies or faces — just costumes and masks. These paintings were displayed multiple times in Tokyo and a couple of times in Nagoya. Members of Japan’s royal family purchased Heindel’s artwork, Rawlings said.

But, if you haven’t heard of Heindel, you’re probably not alone.

“He didn’t want to be rejected in his own country,” Rawlings said. “He couldn’t bear the idea of having a major show in New York City because he was so insecure in the fact that, in his home ground, he might get deflated and that is such a pity.”

Heindel hosted only one New York show and set up most of his U.S. exhibitions in California. During his initial shows in the states, he could never sell enough to make him feel as though he had succeeded, Rawlings said.

Heindel wasn’t out for the money; he judged success on sales because of his background in commercial art.

When he started out, he could only make a living if he got his illustrations printed, Rawlings said.

The Rose stamp

Heindel died in 2005 after doctors diagnosed him with emphysema. Rose came home from running errands one day to find him inside his running car, within the closed garage.

“We had an amazing life,” Rose said. “He was on machines and he couldn’t work. He had to go around with oxygen [tanks] on his body and he just didn’t want to live like that.”

He was 66 years old.

Rose holds on to a number of her late husband’s paintings — especially the piece he completed after a trip to the beach. He took some photos of Rose walking in a wraparound cloth and later painted the image. This was one of his first pieces that wasn’t intended for commercial sale, she said.

Whether a painting portrays Rose, she is still present in nearly all of Heindel’s work in spirit. Heindel’s signature was a rose stamp, as a subtle symbol of adoration of his high school sweetheart. O

The great news is that sleep apnea is treatable. Most often, treatment involves a continuous positive airway pressure machine – called a CPAP machine.

The Pharmacy Counter can provide you with sleep apnea equipment, personalized training on how to use it and local support to answer your questions.

Talk with your doctor to see if you should be tested. For more information about CPAP machines, call The Pharmacy Counter at 419-474-7140.

LUCAS COUNTY

Petition for county charter falls short, seeks 5,719 more signatures

By Morgan Delp

In a special meeting July 9, the Lucas County Board of Elections (BOE) announced that the initiative to change the Lucas County form of government to a new county charter did not produce enough valid signatures in its petition drive to appear on the Nov. 6 ballot.

The group of five co-leaders driving the initiative, which is titled “Better Lucas County,” submitted signatures to the board on June 29, Bob Reinbolt said in an email on June 29. Reinbolt is one of the co-leaders of the initiative, which formed after a study was produced in June 2011.

The board announced July 9 that 8,764 signatures were deemed valid and 13,685 were invalid.

Even though there were not enough valid signatures to certify the movement to the Lucas County Board of Commissioners, the BOE said the petition itself was deemed valid. Per state law, the group will have until Aug. 28, 70 days prior to the election, to collect the remaining 5,719 valid signatures necessary to put the issue on the ballot.

A total of 14,483 valid signatures is required to place the initiative on the ballot. This number represents 10

percent of the total number of Lucas County citizens that voted in the 2010 governor’s race, said Daniel DeAngelis, deputy director of the BOE. The group turned in 270 part-petitions and each part-petition could have various numbers of signatures on it, said Meghan Gallagher, director of the Lucas County BOE. Petition circulators could circulate multiple part-petitions.

At the July 9 meeting, the board was presented with two specific partpetitions that came under question.

“For part-petitions 69 and 70, many of the signatures did not appear to be genuine and the addresses listed on the petition were for street segments that did not exist,” Gallagher said.

The board consulted its legal counsel for guidance on what to do about those part-petitions, since not all of the signatures on them were invalid. It was confirmed that the entire part-petition must be thrown out if even a few of the signatures are invalid.

Gallagher said it’s not uncommon for many signatures to be deemed invalid in large petition drives.

“A lot of times when you turn in a large number (of signatures) you have a percentage that’s going to be invalid. It’s not out of the ordinary,” Gallagher said. “If the group works hard enough they will be able to collect more signatures and repeat the

process, and we will check the signatures and present it to the board like we did last time.”

Reinbolt said he thought they were going to have 12,000 or 13,000 valid signatures. Upon hearing that only 8,764 were deemed valid, the group met July 10 and decided to approach the BOE the next morning, July 11, to inquire about the invalidated signatures, Reinbolt said.

“We knew we were going to be a little short,” Reinbolt said. “But … we just want to give the voters the option to change or not to change (the government structure).”

Reinbolt said the board was helpful in informing the group why certain signatures were invalidated and it has agreed to take another look at at least one of the invalid part-petitions.

He said one reason why many of the signatures were invalid is because citizens listed an incorrect address with their signature.

“Just over 5,000 people had signed it but didn’t have right address listed,” Reinbolt said. “They moved or got married and changed addresses ... There’s not much we can do about that.”

On some of the part-petitions, the circulator wrote their name in the spot where the number of signatures on the part-petition was supposed to go. On others, the circulator wrote a lower number than

how many signatures actually appeared on the part-petition.

Reinbolt said this was because in many cases, the circulator saw that a person had listed an invalid address with their signature, so the circulator left them out of the tally. At the group’s meeting with the BOE, Reinbolt learned the circulator must put a line through an invalid signature for it not to count.

Reinbolt said a circulator may write a greater number than the actual number of signatures they received, but if they record a lesser number, the board does not know which signatures to count and not to count.

“We’re going to go back and make sure our petitions are numbered,” Reinbolt said. “We will put a process in place to ensure that everything is double-checked.”

The group will have to collect about 2,000 signatures a week until Aug. 28, assuming some will be rejected, Reinbolt said. Reinbolt said the group will utilize a registered voters list and volunteers and paid circulators will go door to door seeking signatures.

“We need to work hard to go out there and get enough valid signatures,” Reinbolt said. “We have our work cut out for us, that’s for sure.”

EFFICIENT? ENERGY SPOTLIGHT #7: The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority and the City of Toledo recently partnered to participate in the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Better Buildings Challenge – a national leadership program calling on corporate chief executives, university presidents, state, local and school district leaders to reduce their building’s energy use by 20% by 2020, and showcase solutions they use and the results they achieve.

The Port Authority and the City of Toledo have pledged to reduce energy use by 20% in 7.5 million square feet of buildings, as well as work with building owners in Toledo and surrounding northwest Ohio communities to achieve similar savings.

According to the DOE, commercial buildings and industrial plants account for 50% of the nation’s primary energy use, costs approximately $400 billion to operate, and produces 40% of the country’s CO2 emissions.

Implementing an energy efficiency plan for your business could result in 20-50% or more energy savings.

Fund to aid storm victim’s children

F

amily and friends of Chris Zimmerman are rallying to raise money for his children, who sadly saw too much of the tragedy that killed their father.

On July 5, Chris went on a seemingly routine task: to roll up his car windows before a fast-moving storm saturated the inside of his Ford Expedition. In an instant, a huge tree crashed onto the roof of his car, breaking his neck.

His children, Seth, 7, and Tawny, 4, Brandi came outside and started screaming.

While neighbors called 911 and took the children from the horrific scene, the family gathered outside of the house where Chris, 35, was living with his father on Dorcas Road in Springfield Township. His father, David, was not home at the time of the storm.

“Everything was so sudden. We got a call that Chris was trapped in his car because a tree had fallen, but we didn’t know how severe it was,” said his sister-in-law Christina Zimmerman. “It happened around 3 p.m. and he was pronounced dead at 4 p.m., although they weren’t able to get him out of the car for some time because of power lines.”

On top of the grief, Chris’ family immediately started worrying about paying for the funeral and providing for his children, who will now live full time with his wife, Kendra, from whom he was separated.

“Chris was recently laid off and he didn’t have any insurance or funds,” Christina said. “The family has

nothing. They were struggling before he was laid off.”

The family set up an account in Chris’ name at KeyBank. The money will go toward funeral expenses and then to benefit Seth and Tawny.

Fortunately, Christina and her hus800-PPG-DOCS | promedica.org/doctors band Troy had just seen Chris during a get-together on the Fourth of July. He D e c o r at i v e a r t i s t s • D e s i G n e r s played with their daughter, Cadence.

PROM941_3.875x2_0005.indd 1 7/3/12 12:31 PM “It was a really good day,” she said.

BARHITE “Lately, Chris seemed like he was getting PPG-0005 more peace in his life, he had a better attitude and was kind of making amends with people.”

Family and friends have been meeting near the tree F i n e Pa i n t e d F i n i s h e s stump, which has become a makeshift memorial.

“One of the great things about this neighborhood is the beautiful old trees, and the random storm knocked down so many … and then we lost Chris,” Christina said.

One solace has been the support of the community.

Since Chris’ death, a car wash and T-shirt sale have generated money for the memorial account, but his family still needs more help, especially the children.

“They are OK and then they aren’t. They are asking about Dad,” Christina said.

To help his children, donate money in Chris Zimmerman’s name at any KeyBank or send a check to Christina Zimmerman in her name at 331 Shrewsbury St., Holland, OH 43528. O commerciaL • resiDentiaL

Foreclosures up in Lucas County, still below 2009 recession levels

By Sarah Ottney

Toledo Free Press Special Sections Editor sottney@toledofreepress.com

Foreclosure cases are up in Lucas County compared to last year, but still below the record number seen during the recession in 2009, according to statistics from the Lucas County Clerk of Courts office.

As of July 10, there have been 1,553 foreclosure cases filed in Lucas County this year, 135 more than the 1,418 filed in 2011 by the same date.

“We’re up higher than we were last year already,” said Lucas County Clerk of Courts Bernie Quilter. “In 2011, we dropped to 2,946, which was great. We’re heading up a little bit, but we’re still not at the numbers we were at.”

The jump can be partially attributed to banks that have held off on foreclosing properties, but can’t wait any longer, Quilter said.

Lucas County saw a record number of foreclosure cases in 2009 with 4,160. There were 3,486 foreclosures in 2007, 4,093 in 2008 and 3,869 in 2010.

The 2,946 foreclosures filed in 2011 accounted for nearly 47 percent of the 6,273 civil cases filed in Lucas County that year. Foreclosures made up 51 percent of the civil cases filed in 2009 and 2010, 50 percent of the cases filed in 2008 and 47 percent of the cases filed in 2007.

Foreclosures make up 48 percent of the 3,207 civil cases filed so far in 2012.

There have been five more civil cases filed so far this year compared to last year. O

Lt. Gov. discusses Ohio’s future during BG visit

By Brian Bohnert Toledo Free Press Staff Writer bbohnert@toledofreepress.com

Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor discussed Ohio’s economic progress, as well as the future of the state’s health care and small businesses during a visit to Bowling Green on July 10.

Serving as the guest speaker for Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce’s M i d - Ye a r Meeting and Awards Program at Stone Ridge Golf Club, TAYLOR Taylor addressed many key issues facing Ohio voters as they approach the upcoming election, mainly job creation and the economic progress.

Most of her focus was on the current health care system in the United States and the passage of President Barack Obama’s health care reform.

After considering whether to implement a state-run health care exchange, Taylor said Gov. John Kasich and his administration decided not to pursue the option.

“We are not going to set up a statebased exchange,” Taylor said.

The governor’s office has until Nov. 16 to inform the federal government of any plans to start its own program or leave it up to the government to do so. In implementing a state-run health care exchange, Taylor said administrative and operative costs would range from anywhere between $30 million to $40 million a year, with no direct benefit to Ohioans due to the recent upholding of the health care mandate.

“Based on all the information we have available for us today, the reports we’ve done, the information that is scant out of Washington about how we are required to comply, we have made a decision that we do not think it is in the best interest of Ohio citizens to do a state-based exchange at this point,” she said.

Not only does Obama’s health care reform impact individual households, but it also has an effect on small businesses. Taylor said for any small business that covers its employees through health insurance, premiums could rise anywhere from 5 to 150 percent, on top of the average increases that already take place. O

We appreciate customers like you.

Hurricane-force winds from last week’s storm brought widespread damage to our region, disrupting service to nearly 60,000 customers.

In response, our crews worked around the clock in extreme heat to restore power.

Linemen from Toledo Edison were joined by additional FirstEnergy crews and contractors from around the region to repair downed wires, replace poles and clear tree limbs from power lines at nearly 1,000 locations throughout our service area.

We thank you for your patience and understanding. We also extend a special thanks to police, fire and emergency management officials, and to our employees for their dedicated efforts during and after the storm.

We know how important electricity is to your life. That’s why we remain committed to providing the reliable service you expect and deserve.

Holistic physical therapy gaining interest, acceptance

By Marie Eye

TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

Holistic physical therapy and other alternative care options are becoming more popular and acceptable ways

to treat pain, according to owners of local offices that offer the option.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the field of physical therapy is growing rapidly, fueled in part by an aging yet active baby boomer population. Employment

of physical therapists is expected to increase 39 percent from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations.

However, many people are not satisfied with traditional therapy techniques, feeling they do not com-

Can we afford wellness programs? Are they really worth it?

Good question. Simple answer: The results speak for themselves.

More mid-sized companies are adding wellness programs to their health insurance plans because they see results. We offer wellness solutions through our unique partnership with the Employers Association. Together with your plan advisor, we’ll review the real benefits of wellness coverage. Reduced healthcare costs. Lower premiums. And healthier, more productive workers.

Health Insurance. Life Insurance.

“We try to keep our practice homey and not too clinical,” Lutman said.

Holistic physical therapy considers all aspects of the patient’s life.

“Pain can be generated by tension in the family, work conditions, poor diet, etc.,” Lutman said. “We attempt to be a bridge between the traditional, medical and holistic therapy.”

Holistic physical therapists believe traditional techniques such as stretching and exercising are not always the best way to address symptoms.

“It’s fine if the problem originates from the muscular system, but traditional ways sometimes create more damage for the future of the patients,” Woolaver said. “When a patient exercises on top of pre-existing injuries, it can create more problems.”

Turner compared the situation to a door that doesn’t close properly.

“Opening and closing it over and over will not correct it. You have to look at the frame, the hinges, the handle, etc., to understand why the door does not close. From there you can address the problem effectively,” Turner said. Modern medicine treats the body as separate parts and promotes the use of pharmaceuticals as a first resort.

“We think that to get good results, you have to treat the body as a whole,” she said.

Many patients lose weight as a side effect of taking better care of themselves overall, Lutman said.

Another major part of a holistic physical therapy practice is patient education. n THERAPY CONTINUES ON A18

pletely remove their pain. According to the Mayo Clinic, about 38 percent of American adults use some form of alternative medicine.

Elizabeth Woolaver and Priscilla Turner, co-founders of Restorative Concepts in Holland, started as traditional physical therapists, but soon realized they wanted to go further in helping their patients be pain-free.

“Our practice evolved and slowly shifted from traditional to more manual therapy with an osteopathic approach as we integrated new solutions and different methods,” Woolaver said. “We still have the same goal as the other physical therapists, only with a new approach.”

Holistic physical therapy treats all the body’s systems as interrelated, aiming to address and solve issues by treating the person as a whole.

For example, if a patient comes in with lower back pain, the therapist will look for imbalances elsewhere, such as the gastrointestinal tract for constipation or scar tissue.

“Having an in-depth knowledge of those systems is really helping us clear up problems by addressing the real issues,” Woolaver said.

Lisa Lutman, founder of The Center at Alternative Physical Therapy in Toledo, has more than 30 years of experience as a traditional physical therapist. Her facility offers a wide array of options ranging from traditional physical therapy to alternative techniques such as hypnosis and acupuncture. The facility also features a gym and private rooms.

A18 n Toledo Free Press n THERAPY CONTINUED FROM A15 “Our goal is to empower people and address issues. Unfortunately we cannot address everything with our particular work, so we often refer our patients to other specialists. Because some of these problems, if not addressed, will prevent us from helping them,” Woolaver said.

Holistic physical therapy still gen-

erates skepticism, but word-of-mouth business from patients who have found it helpful is growing, Lutman said. “[They say] ‘They just touched me and I’m better!’ They don’t understand what is happening to them, but it works.

And they come back,” Lutman said.

“Many patients switch to our practice and leave thrilled because they are painfree for the first time in a very long time

and they are fixed for good.”

Sam Manu said he is happy with the results of his sessions at The Center at Alternative Physical Therapy.

“Three weeks ago I had a car accident. I drove by this place and Lisa started treating me. I’m all fixed now.

In about a month and a half I should be ready to roll.” Manu said.

The patient return rate at Restor-

JULY 15, 2012

ative Concepts is about 80 percent and word-of-mouth accounts for about 75 percent of business, Woolaver said.

“This region, Northwest Ohio, is slowly opening up to it,” Lutman added.

Both facilities plan to organize lectures this fall to inform people of approaches and techniques available.

Mercy launches new women’s health initiative Toledo Free Press Staff Writer cmcglade@toledofreepress.com

Mercy has launched a program to unite women across Toledo in an effort to improve their health and spiritual well-being.

The program, “For Every

Woman,” will start off on the Web with health pointers from the hospital’s nutritionist and physical therapist and will eventually grow out into exercise meetings at places such as Wildwood Preserve Metropark, said Andrea Price, president and CEO of Mercy.

“Women take on many, many

roles: we are the mother, the daughter, the wife, the sisters, the counselors and even spiritual advisers and the list can go on and on,” Price said during a July 12 press conference. “We always talk about how do we balance, but it’s really not about balancing, it’s about juggling.”

This leads many women to ne-

Either of these is then paired with an Hour Massage for $110.00

glect their personal needs, she said.

Experiencing the juggling act herself, Price said she started thinking about the program about a year ago.

Mercy will use foreverywomanbymercy.org, Facebook and Pinterest to connect to interested women. The four areas that the program seeks to address are: stepping up exercise, strengthening work and life balance, enhancing spirituality and improving nutrition.

The program is free to users.

The idea is that a woman is more likely to engage in healthy activities if she is encouraged by a group of other women shooting for similar goals.

And improving health doesn’t always have to mean logging endless hours

at the gym, said Donna Copeland, a Mercy physical therapist. She offered a couple examples of small changes that might make a difference. These include parking as far away as you can from your destination to force yourself to walk more, pacing while you talk on the phone and doing jumping jacks during commercial breaks if you watch television.

The program’s kickoff took place at Wildwood Preserve Metropark.

“We recognize the importance of having not only a clean, balanced and protected environment but also recognize the importance of having a balanced, active lifestyle,” said Stephen Madewell, director of Metroparks of the Toledo Area. O

The first reason is that so many of the articles Gary L. RATHBUN what the headlines say.

One of the problems with sticking with fundamentals in a “bad nothing is based on facts but rather a group of opinions?

Also, we look at companies that will continue to survive in an inflationary environment. No matter how bad the economy gets there are certain things that people will always purchase.

Toothpaste, toilet paper and deodorant (we hope they continue buying anyway) are examples of products that are needed during recessionary times. Drugs (the legal kind) and overall health care companies are usually strong in recessionary times, at least for a while yet.

And, finally, food and energy, will always be in demand regardless of economic conditions.

These are tough times to invest with confidence especially when companies are doing things that violate our trust.

401(k): Understanding your second-largest asset

or the average working family, their 401(k) plan is the second largest asset that they own, aside from their home. It provides them with an opportunity for future savings and a substantial source of income during their retirement years. In some cases, a 401(k) may be the only plan for retirement that a family has. Unfortunately, many 401(k) plans have failed their participants for a litany of reasons.

A company establishes a 401(k) plan strictly for the benefit of its employees. An attractive 401(k) will make a company more competitive when looking for new employees.

Many plans will encourage savings by offering matching contributions up to a certain percentage. Unfortunately, many of these same plans have failed to provide their participants with the guidance they need for a successful retirement, a deficit which could be devastating to their futures.

A common trend in the 401(k) industry over the past two decades has been the creation of an investing “easy button.” One way this perception has been advanced is through the sales of target date funds such as “Retirement 2020” funds.

PHILANTHROPY

Restaurants team for Aug. 8 Make-A-Wish benefit

By Brigitta Burks

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer bburks@toledofreepress.com

About 30 Toledo restaurants will offer a chance to sample their delicacies at the Make-A-Wish Holland Gardens Night Out on Aug. 8.

“There’s just a good vibe about the whole event,” said Ellie McManus, development officer for Make-A-Wish of Northwest Ohio.

“It’s so grassroots that it’s like a movement. It’s so cool.”

Lynne Carroll, life enrichment director for Arbors at Sylvania, organizes the event and gets restaurants to come on board. She started the

first event in 2006 after encountering a distraught woman at Kroger.

“She was sobbing,” Carroll recalled.

Carroll learned the woman’s child had osteosarcoma, a bone tumor.

“Being a parent myself I was like, ‘What can I do?’” Carroll said. Since then, she has worked tirelessly in support of Make-A-Wish.

The organization is behind on granting 80 wishes, so community events like Carroll’s are a big help, McManus said.

“We’ve been encouraging community members to host events to raise funds to benefit Make-AWish,” she said. “[Carroll’s] just such a hard worker and so loyal and dedicated and she’ll just do anything

to make it successful.”

The last event raised about $15,000, a number Carroll hopes to double.

Each wish costs about $7,500 with airfare being a major expense.

“I want to grant as many wishes as possible,” Carroll said. A suggested donation of $10 at the door is recommended for the event, which will also feature a cash bar, entertainment and an auction offering hotel stays, private dinners, massages and jewelry, The participating restaurants range from independent Toledo eateries like Rockwell’s, ICE Restaurant and Bar and Bar 145 to national chains like Panera Bread, Applebee’s and Don Pablo’s.

LYNNE CARROLL “This is up there with Taste of the Nation, without $150 to get in,” Carroll said.

Applebee’s will present Make-AWish with about $9,000 raised from its Make-A-Wish star promo, where customers could purchase paper stars after their meals.

“Applebee’s is so better than spectacular to us,” McManus said.

Don Pablo’s also has a special promotion where any extra change thrown in the courtyard fountains of the Mexican restaurants is donated to Make-A-Wish. This raises about $100 every month.

According to studies, children whose wishes are granted perform better and accept their medical treatment better, McManus said. Recently granted wishes include a girl swimming with dolphins and a boy who wanted his own special space. “We did a huge room redo. The whole basement had a room redone for him, kind of like a man/boy cave.

He loves it,” McManus said. She estimated that her chapter has granted about 70 wishes this year.

Carroll has a new understanding of Make-A-Wish parents. Last year, her then 23-year-old daughter, Amy Radecki, returned from a trip with a painful neck and shoulders and a swollen left arm.

She was diagnosed with a rare condition with an extra rib pinching an artery, which caused blood clots.

She is now OK after McMANUS treatment, but Carroll said, “Now I really know how parents feel because I almost lost my own daughter last year.”

The support of Carroll and the restaurants means a lot to Make-A-Wish, McManus said.

“Northwest Ohio is just amazing.

It’s such a giving and kind, roll-upyour-sleeves kind of place to live and I’m just so proud of all of the assistance that we get. It just means so much to us,” she said.

Make-A-Wish Holland Gardens Night Out is 6-8 p.m. Aug. 8 at Holland Gardens, 6530 Angola Road.

One of my tablemates ordered the Rabbit Potpie with carrots and English peas and the third ordered Pot Roast Ravioli that was also served with braised vegetables. The entrees we ordered were all delicious. For my taste, salt overpowered the broth served over both the fish and the ravioli entrees.

I would like to see the summer menu place a greater emphasis on crisp and colorful summer vegetables, fresh garden herbs and main courses that are grilled or seared rather than braised or roasted. As the heat index surges above 90, I’d love to try Chef Rapp’s take on ceviche or maybe her preparation of a fresh catch from the Great Lakes. She can go back to potpie, fondue and pot roast as well as assorted wild game with earthy, roasted vegetables in the fall. For those with dietary restrictions, the menu is well marked for vegetarian and gluten-free diets.

There is, of course, a great selection of homemade desserts. For $9, you may have a sampling of the sweets. My favorite is the rich and creamy chocolate stout and pretzel tart.

Chef Rapp does an outstanding job creating a comprehensive and food-friendly wine list. Wines range from “Old World” European red, white, rose, champagne and sparkling to “New World” varietals. Wine may be ordered by the glass, by the bottle or in a half-bottle served in a

Cars from the 1950s at last year’s Toledo Vintage Car Show. This year’s show will be July 21.

Vintage car show to feature classic originals

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Fans of classic cars won’t want to miss the second annual Toledo Vintage Car Show this month.

The July 21 show will feature vehicles at least 30 years old and at least 90 percent original, said show chairman George Louthan, director of the Northwest Ohio Region Cadillac & LaSalle Club.

“None of the other shows in Toledo have that,” said Louthan, who plans to display his 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible at the show.

“All the shows in Toledo are what I call combined shows. You have restored cars, original cars, street rods, street machines, muscle cars — just about everything imaginable that’s collectible in the way of an

automobile. It’s a little bit unfair to the original cars. They don’t attract attention like the guy with $5,000 worth of chrome on his engine. This show was conceived last year to recognize and feature the original and restored cars of past eras. People like to see cars how they were from when they were manufactured, and this show is dedicated to that.”

The show is set for 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. July 21 at the Margaret L. Hunt Senior Center, 2121 Garden Lake Place, in South Toledo near the intersection of Arlington and South Detroit avenues. Admission is free.

Registration is from 9-11 a.m. Cost to display a car is $12 with preregistration by July 14 or $15 on the day of the show. Those who preregister will also get one free lunch. Registration forms are available at the senior center, Beverly Auto Care at 3734 S. Detroit Ave.

or by contacting Louthan at (419) 3827820 or gelouthan@att.net. The rain date is July 22.

There will be eight categories: 1927 and earlier, 1928-1934, 1935-1940, 1941-1948, 1949-1954, 1955-1960, 1961-1970 and 1971-1982.

New this year will be three categories for vehicles that appear stock, but have modern updates: vintage trucks (1910-1982), vintage sports cars (19101982) and modified stocks (1910-1982).

Trophies will be awarded in each class as well as first-, second- and third-place trophies for best of show.

The show will also feature a DJ playing music from the 1920s through the 1960s, a 50-50 raffle, door prizes, vendor booths and more. Lunch will be available inside the senior center.

Proceeds from the show will go toward programming at the senior center as well as to local nonprofit Stu-

dents for Other Students (SOS).

SOS is a peer-to-peer mentoring program started by Toledo area entrepreneur Ford Cauffiel, a member of several area vintage car clubs who owns about 20 classic cars.

Cauffiel started SOS in Perrysburg in 1989. The program is now used in 21 school districts in six states, including Toledo Public Schools, Perrysburg Schools, Springfield Local Schools and Evergreen Local Schools.

“It’s a very simple program,” Cauffiel said. “We pay children to tutor other children. The idea is based on a highly efficient, cost-effective way of improving public education.

A struggling child will listen to another child before they will listen to an adult in many instances. The tutor gets as much out of it as the tutee.

It gives the tutor an opportunity to make a little money and at the same

time raises self-esteem. It’s great to watch a child learn and grow.”

Cauffiel said older people especially enjoy the vintage car show.

“Senior citizens like to go back in time. They like to see the old cars. Old cars bring back old memories. It’s a form of history and art. It’s a form of connecting with the past,” Cauffiel said.

“There’s a lot of history in these different automobile companies. I enjoy the technology of the cars — how it’s improved and different technological advancements made over time.”

Supporting local clubs include Buick, Cadillac and LaSalle, Classic Chevrolet, Model A, Pontiac Oakland and Veteran Car Club, but the show is open to any make or model.

Sponsors include Taylor Cadillac, Cauffiel Industries and Beverly Auto Care. For more information, visit gotutor.org/index.shtml. O

JULY 15, 2012

Keep your car safe and looking great this summer (ARA) — Small inconveniences can become much larger problems if not taken care of early, and unfortunately, many drivers fail to address vehicle problem signs until it’s too late. With a few tips, you can get your vehicle into top shape for easy cruising this summer and beyond.

Don’t wait, fix it fast: With the sun shining a little brighter this time of year, those vehicle nicks, scratches and dents suddenly become much more noticeable. And more importantly, they can begin to rust in as little as 30 days. This visible exterior problem can quickly reduce your vehicle’s resale value, not to mention its cosmetic appeal. Fortunately, you can avoid these ugly and potentially costly problems by using a touch- up paint.

Rolling on out: Tires are one of the most important aspects of vehicle safety, and proper maintenance can prolong tread life and save money on replacements.

Rotating tires every 7,000 miles can help keep treads from wearing irregularly.

A simple tire rotation not only makes for a dependable vehicle, but also saves money in the long run because your tires will last longer.

Internal workings: Despite the warnings, many people put off changing their vehicle oil far longer than recommended. Changing oil will prevent residue buildup, allowing your vehicle to function more efficiently and safely. Forgoing this routine check could lead to an unexpected engine seize, causing costly and potentially dangerous damage.

Lights out: A burnt-out light bulb in your living room can be a nuisance, but a burnt-out light on your car can be extremely dangerous, and may even earn you a traffic ticket. Perform regular inspections of your car lights by turning all lights on — including turn signals. O

By Caitlin McGlade

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer cmcglade@toledofreepress.com

Matthew Gonzalez keeps a skee ball machine, a water blaster game and a hot dog stand in his garage.

He is not in the carnival business, nor the food truck industry. He owns a hair salon. He is, however, in the business of game show hopping. He can thank “The Price is Right” for the small arcade in his garage, a cruise trip and celebrity networking.

Gonzalez has also landed a spot on “Deal or No Deal” and competed in the obstacle course show “Wipeout.”

So when producers from “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” pulled into town, he made sure he was one of the first eager contestants to audition at 7 a.m.

“You only live once,” he said. “I work all the time. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, so what the heck, why not play?”

Gonzalez did not pass the initial test Wednesday, but that hardly hampered his enthusiasm. He went back to audition in the evening for “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’s” special Movie Week.

Gonzalez was one of 1,600 people who turned out for the “Millionaire” auditions Wednesday at the Hilton Garden Inn at Levis Commons. Contestants waited in a line that wrapped around most of the building by 6 a.m.

The show’s producers administered tests starting around 7 a.m. The “Millionaire” hopefuls had 10 minutes to

answer 30 questions. If they passed the test, the producers called them back for one-on-one interviews, where they had to answer questions about themselves.

Gonzalez said he has mastered the qualities game show producers seek when looking for future television guests. He attributes his past game show picks to his boisterous personality, high energy and integrity.

“You have to be able to sell yourself,” he said.

He’s got it.

“We are looking for what will distinguish you from other people — we want people from home to be able to root for you,” said Geoff Rosen, supervising producer. “What’s your story?

What makes you unique?”

The Toledo area was the second stop of six the “Millionaire” producers will make to find contestants for the next two seasons. This is the first time the producers have visited Toledo. The show always runs auditions in New York City, but typically auditions in six other locations around the country to meet a range of people, Rosen said.

“We really love the idea of going to smaller towns rather than big cities because you find such great people in these small towns,” Rosen said.

Toledoans, who turned out in numbers that exceeded expectations, impressed him.

“There will be some people from today’s audition who will appear on the show,” Rosen said.

Contestants jump for T-shirts given away at the July 11 ‘MilLionaire’ tryouts at levis commons.

That’s good news to Tracey Launder, a 51-year-old grandmother of four who has been a loyal “Millionaire” viewer since the show began. She is an old pro at the 30-question test; she flew to New York City for a previous season’s auditions and passed.

She didn’t make the cut after the interviews, she said.

She passed the test Wednesday morning — one she said was more difficult than the previous test she took.

Many of the test-takers walked away looking dazed, describing the timed test

as extremely difficult. During one of the sessions, an audible laugh escaped one of the contestants. Some others anxiously scratched their heads or stared at the ceiling. Some did not break focus from their papers, their eyebrows pressing heavily downward in concentration.

Toledo Free Press cannot reveal any test questions because the producers reuse those questions at other stops.

“I seem to be able to pull useless knowledge out of my head,” Launder said. “But then of course I couldn’t remember where I parked my car when I left.”

The show gives cash to guests who can answer a range of questions.

One-million dollar winners answer 14 questions. Rosen said the writers aim for questions that cover the shallow ends of a multitude of topics, so that TV show guests don’t have to be com-

plete gurus in all categories to know the answers. He pointed out that the past few winners included a truck driver, a teacher and a bartender.

The host, Meredith Vieira, has led 1,800 episodes and awarded more than $70 million to contestants.

People came to the auditions not only from Toledo but from Michigan, Florida, California, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Louisiana.

Fifty-two-year-old Patte CarterHevia woke up at 3 a.m. in Lansing, Mich., hit the road at 4 a.m. and was waiting in line by 6 a.m. Bryce Fraser recently returned to the area from California, where he contracts with the military to simulate terrorist combat.

Both did not pass, but both were glad they tried.

“What do you have to lose, fun?”

Fraser said. O

By Vicki L. Kroll Toledo Free Press Staff Writer vkroll@toledofreepress.com

Nobody has more fun writing songs than Michael Franks. Listen to any track and you’ll hear his witty wordplay. From “Now That the Summer’s Here”: “I can spare some wherewithal/ Listening to Ahmad Jamal/ ‘Poinciana’ says it all/ Now that the summer’s here.”

Or “Island Christmas”: “While FRANKS others plod through ‘Jingle Bells’/ We’ll roam the beach collecting shells/ I understand flannel pajamas/ Are not allowed in the Bahamas.”

And, of course, “Popsicle Toes”: “You got the nicest North America/ This sailor ever saw/ I’d like to feel your warm Brazil/ And touch your Panama/ But your Tierra del Fuegos/ Are nearly always froze.”

“I like to spend a lot of time with a composition; it’s a very enjoyable part of my career,” Franks said. “I’ve always tried to emulate the great era of American song, the people that I considered to be the greatest — like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Gershwin-type writers, Harold Arlen.”

The mustachioed musician has been creating quintessentially cool songs for nearly four decades — and performing them with distinctive delivery.

“I just sing the best way I can. It’s not so much an affectation, that’s just the voice,” he said during a call from his home in Woodstock, N.Y. “I love Peggy Lee and Mose Allison and people who I guess in the past I’ve been sort of grouped with, which is a pleasure.”

In 1975, the singer-songwriter’s relaxed style flowed into the music world with his second album, “The Art of Tea,” which combined jazz, pop, soul and R&B. Producer Tommy LiPuma tracked down Franks’ wish list of musicians for the record.

“I’ll never forget this — [LiPuma called and] said, ‘OK, we’re all set.’ And I said, ‘Well, who did we get?’ And he said, ‘We got The Crusaders (guitarist Larry Carlton, keyboardist Joe Sample and bassist Wilton Felder) and (drummer) John Guerin,” Franks said and laughed. “I was afraid as well as being happy and excited because, wow, I’ve got to work hard to play with these guys and practice all these tunes.”

That 35-minute vinyl classic went smoothly.

“We recorded that album in 12 hours, which is just amazing to me now,” the jazz superstar said. “Now it seems I spend 12 hours on two vocals.”

His 2011 disc, “Together Again,” also features an array of guest artists, including guitarist Chuck Loeb, pianist Gil Goldstein, saxophonist Eric Marienthal and trumpeter Till Brönner.

“I end up writing in the first person and it’s probably 90 percent originating from my personal feelings or observations,” Franks said. “On this record, the title song was about our dog, Flora, and then ‘Charlie Chan in Egypt’ was about the experience of being in airports and seeing these poor kids come home from the Middle East sort of broken, if not physically broken, kind of spiritually broken, and I guess their families financially broken too, and trying to make a comment about that.

“I seldom make any social comments; the only other time in fact was the title song for [1987’s] ‘The Camera Never Lies,’ which was about apartheid, which was still existent in South Africa.”

On the lighter side, “Mice” chronicles his adventures of finding freeloaders in the 1791 farmhouse he lived in at the time.

“Three times I thought the same ones were just reappearing after I’d taken them far away and released them, but I couldn’t figure out how to tag them, so I don’t know if that was true or not,” he mused.

Franks will perform at 8 p.m. July 21 at Stranahan Theater; the concert will also spotlight Brian McKnight.

Tickets range from $49.50 to $69.50. O

JULY 15-21, 2012

Events: New Moon in Cancer (19th) Aries (March 21-April 19)

Libra (September 23-October 22)

This can be a week of battles and upsets. Outcomes depend on whether you’re struggling with the past, or forging into fresh areas. Balance ideals and practicalities. Turning points arrive by midweek. Interpersonal harmony improves after Thursday evening.

Certain aspects of your life may be in a grinder, but the changes you’re making now are essential for the future.

Hold on through Wednesday. Do damage control as the New Moon arrives. Connect with people who make you laugh and share the latest music and trends.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

In one area, your status or interest is weakening. A past effort deserves another chance; try again. Avoid getting caught up in ongoing philosophical battles. A labor of love is poised to be profitable or admired. Make sure you’re visible in the world after Thursday.

Hidden problems and personal issues can leap into prominence for you or loved ones. Long-term patterns that clarify the root causes become visible. Someone gets high ratings for endurance and dignity. Be out and about after Friday – gossip and news is flying.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Changes with personal property, finances, and the results of long effort change the name of the game this week.

A close friend may point out a better option or an escape hatch. Friends and relatives can be a source of enjoyment or assistance after Friday.

This week common sense leaves the building and insanity is in charge. Retain your sense of humor and persist in your goals. Small but notable progress arrives after Thursday.

Bright spots and fresh ideas arrive on Friday through exchanges with friends.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

You’re shifting gears this week in all areas of life. Some changes are smooth as butter, others are snarled in crazy knots. Your mood and ability to be effective are better after Thursday. A past project or child’s efforts get special recognition as the weekend arrives.

Career goals lead you into some dark places, or into encounters with brilliant and/or unstable individuals. Take the best and leave the rest. Discuss upcoming plans and evolving ground rules with your partner after Thursday.

Group activities are in the public spotlight.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Be cautious while driving all week. Impersonal forces like weather or society can rock your world in a personal way. Strive for a detached viewpoint; keep your temper in check. Blessings and benefits flow your way after Thursday evening and through the weekend.

Visions of the past haunt you as the week begins and leave you feeling hyper-sensitive in the present. It’s less important to be right than it is to be nice. Go on a diet or impose new discipline or order after Thursday. Defining personal goals is very important now.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Handle your personal possessions and gizmos carefully as the week begins to avoid breakage or loss. Work and money disruptions are possible too. The haze clears after Thursday. A scintillating conversation on Friday inspires you. New talents emerge.

Although you’re a generous sort, you can get bent out of shape if people mess with your stuff or violate your personal space boundaries. You may be in full retreat by Wednesday. Refocus on joyful activities after Thursday; reunite with friends and loved ones.

I will not let cancer define me.

At ProMedica Cancer Institute, we don’t just treat cancer. We treat people with cancer. People like Kennedy, who, along with her ponytails and butterfly tattoos, wears her brain surgery scar like a badge of courage. At ProMedica Toledo Children’s Hospital, 80% of our patients participate in national clinical trials, and receive family-focused care and all the support they need to help them deal with childhood cancer.
