Casino breaks ground

T

he shovels have finally hit the dirt. Construction has begun on the Hollywood Casino Toledo. There will be jobs, there will be a financial infusion and there will be an exciting new attraction to bring visitors to our city.

There will also be challenges and issues to deal with, but as we have reported as eyewitnesses, Penn National Gaming has a history of working closely with community leaders and law enforcement to minimize the impact on the area surrounding its casinos.

When the casino initiative was placed on the ballot in November, Toledo Free Press and the Cleveland Plain Dealer were the only major-circulation newspapers in Ohio to strongly encourage voters to approve the measure. We based that decision on a twoday visit to Indiana’s Lawrenceburg Hollywood Casino, which is roughly Thomas F. POUNDS 15 minutes from downtown Cincinnati. Editor-in-Chief Michael Miller and I spent a day and night in the casino, then a day exploring the surrounding town, talking to business owners, neighbors, elected officials and casino employees.

What we saw was a clean, friendly community that has exploded with improvements to its infrastructure and its daily life. While many cities, including Toledo, struggle with budget shortfalls and cutbacks, Lawrenceburg has $250 million in the bank. The city literally has more money than it knows what to do with from its annual $40 million share of casino revenue.

To adapt what we said before the vote, the casino is a major attraction, a world-class operation that puts Toledo in the rare position of getting its share along with the state’s “Three C” cities. It will boost the region’s self-esteem to have such a big league draw, and we have to give our citizens (and law enforcement officials) enough credit to believe the attendant challenges will be met with intelligence and careful preparation.

Now that the speculation is becoming reality, we reiterate our stance that Penn National Gaming is the right partner at the right time. We believe that, not because it is fashionable to jump on the bandwagon, but because we have seen with our own eyes the work the company does to protect its interest in the community and the people it serves and benefits.

GUEST COLUMN

Local government must commit revenue to Housing Fund

M

ore than 20 years ago, civic leaders in Toledo and Lucas County decided that our community should join more than 700 cities, counties and states in creating a locally controlled and funded resource devoted exclusively to advancing the quality, accessibility and affordability of local housing. They recognized that our community’s housing priorities could not be served by relying solely on state and federal resources.

The Housing Fund is a freestanding nonprofit organization modeled after housing funds across the nation. The Fund channels local financial resources into Hugh local housing programs and projects. Having local funds dedicated to housing means that our community is able to address program and project financing gaps not covered by external resources. These local funds assure that housing projects and programs can also serve people slightly above the income restrictions associated with federal and state dollars granted to the City.

The Housing Fund helps create sustainable housing developments and neighborhoods by assuring that more of the “working poor” can participate. In doing so, it allows our community to overcome the limitations of the “one size fits

all” nature of state and federal funds.

The Housing Fund board includes representatives from private and public organizations concerned with housing: The Toledo Board of Realtors, the City of Toledo, Lucas County, Lucas Metropolitan Housing Authority, the Toledo Home Builders Association, Local Initiatives Support Corporation, the Toledo Fair Housing Center, Toledo Area Ministries, the Greater Toledo Housing Coalition, the Ability Center of Greater Toledo, Toledo-Lucas County Plan Commissions, NHA/Mildred Bayer Homeless Clinic, Fifth Third Bank, the Toledo CDC Alliance and AFGREFE SCME Ohio Local 8.

To achieve the purpose of housing funds, local government must commit a dedicated revenue stream to its local fund. Although there are many options for how that can be done, it must be reliable and dedicated in order to place the local housing fund on a sound footing. Typically, local governments dedicate a portion of a fee, such as the hotel-motel tax or the real estate conveyance fee to support local housing funds.

At issue now is an obligation of the City of Toledo to provide funds resulting from its use of a $3 million Urban Development Action Grant to build the Superior Garage in Downtown.

The legislation in effect resulted from negotiations between the City and the Greater Toledo Housing Coalition; the Housing Fund serves as the fund recipient and program manager to oversee the use of the committed funds.

The Housing Fund works in tandem with other resources to help people in neighborhoods csuffering from blight, vacant lots or homes, and other effects of disinvestment and declining property values. In doing so, the Fund seeks to increase property values, neighborhood stability, and local tax revenue. Housing developers — including private and nonprofits — along with organizations providing housing related services such as foreclosure prevention counseling are invited to submit proposals the Housing Fund. Through this competitive process, the Board seeks the strongest and most effective proposals.

In 2009, the Housing Fund approved grants to the Ability Center to help 25 households improve home access; to United North to assist 25 households with emergency repairs, to the North West Ohio Development Agency and Neighborhood Housing Services to assist in preventing tax foreclosure; and to Toledo Community Development Corporation and Friendship New Vision to help 25 current homeowners with needed repairs.

In 2008, the Housing Fund assisted Maumee

Valley Habitat for Humanity in constructing five new homes and it supported the Toledo Fair Housing Center’s assistance of 10 households to through the Restoring the Dream Predatory Lending Remediation Program.

The Fund also made a loan to support the Dorr Street Brownstone development.

Although resources available to the Housing Fund remain modest in comparison to the challenges facing housing in the greater Toledo area, the Fund Board is committed to working with local government to ensure that we have the strongest possible local housing program.

The Housing Fund Board agrees strongly with the Toledo Board of Realtors President Mary Ann Coleman, who wrote the following to members of City Council: “It is with great concern for citizens in need that I write and urge you to ask Mayor Michael Bell to reconsider his recent decision to discontinue funding the Toledo-Lucas County Housing Trust.

Now is the worst time to stop funding any organization that has a good track record of making a difference in Toledo housing. If we do not continue to work on housing issues, nothing else will matter.

No one will want to live in Toledo.”

As the bright sun tried to peek through an otherwise-gray sky, politicians, community leaders and whitecollar casino executives used goldbladed shovels to move brown dirt and begin Toledo’s plan to bring blue-collar jobs and some green to the city.

The pot of gold at the end of this rainbow is the Hollywood Casino Toledo, scheduled to open in 2012 as the first of Ohio’s four casinos. Toledo Mayor Mike Bell described the casino as a “life preserver” at the Aug. 12 groundbreaking.

Issue 3 on the 2009 ballot legalized gaming at a specific site in each of the state’s four largest cities. As decided

by Issue 3, Penn National Gaming will build and oversee Toledo’s casino.

The company received site approval from the Toledo Plan Commission in July. The casino will be located at 1968 Miami Street, just off Interstate 75, and is expected to bring jobs, tax revenue and tourists to Northwest Ohio.

“This is a game-changer,” said Lucas County Commissioner Pete Gerken, who equated the ceremony’s importance with the 1997 Jeep plant and 2007 Lucas County Arena groundbreakings.

“This is the first day, if you listen very very clearly, you can hear that sucking sound of business starting to come back from Detroit,” said Tim Wilmott, president and chief operating officer of Penn National Gaming.

Friendly neighborhood casino In addition to employment and tax revenues, one potential offshoot of the casino is business interest in the land surrounding the site. Penn National Gaming owns 44 acres along Miami Street. The casino will be built on a 37-acre parcel of land west of Interstate 75. The company also owns 7 acres east of the highway. LibbeyOwens-Ford Glass Inc. (LOF) owns the parcels on either side of the casino, as well as vacant acreage just south of the build site in Rossford.

Pilkington Group Ltd. bought out LOF in 1986 and took control of its

property. The vacant field behind Linmore and Selkirk streets has an address on Wales Road in Rossford.

According to a statement from Pilkington North America Legal and Corporate Affairs Manager Yohko Minowa, Pilkington “has not been approached by anyone regarding the property on Wales Road, and if we are, we will consider the offer at that time.”

But other than the land LOF owns, most of the acreage surrounding the build site is residential. Bangor, Selkirk, Linmore and Woodmore streets jut off from Miami Street across from the casino’s future home. More than 50 houses fill the streets now, but that could change if businesses view the property as a chance to profit from Hollywood Casino.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if sometime in the next five or 10 years these homes all get bought out,” said Toledo City Councilman Mike Craig, in whose district the casino will be built.

None of this surprises residents Sandy and Dusty Anderson of 1743 Linmore St. They said they hope the casino will benefit the city, even if it forces them to move from the house they’ve lived in for 16 years. The Andersons can see the future casino site and the LOF property from their front yard.

“I would not have picked that site, just because I don’t think it’s big enough — unless they’re counting this property,” Sandy Anderson said, referring to the neighborhood. “I wouldn’t care if they bought out all three streets here. I’m not against progress. It’s what

you’ve got to do, right?”

Anderson said neighborhood opinions about the casino differ. One of her neighbors hosted a meeting in protest of the casino, but the Andersons did not attend because they felt the meeting would not bring about change. She said many residents in the area are elderly and would likely sell their homes willingly if asked.

Ron Hawkins of 1734 Selkirk St. sees the residents’ ages as a deterrent to business interests.

“A lot of [homeowners] would hold out,” he said, adding that just about everyone in the neighborhood knew businesses might seek to buy the homes.

Elizabeth Anne Wayton of 1760 Selkirk St. was OK with the casino “as long as they stay on the other side of

Miami Street.”

“It’s enjoyment for some people,” she said, adding that businesses might not acquire the LOF field because of problems existing from its previous use.

“I don’t think the property is that valuable,” she said. “I guess they had drainage and all that from the factory.”

The vacant field is zoned for commercial use, but Toledo Deputy Mayor of Operations Steve Herwat said any businesses seeking the residential land would need to have it rezoned before they could construct hotels, restaurants or other ventures.

“I would not be surprised if some of those residential property owners receive offers,” Herwat said.

A quick turn on the river Officials say Penn National Gaming has worked tirelessly to get Hollywood Casino Toledo under way.

An orange Rudolph|Libbe trailer indicates construction is imminent less than a year after Issue 3 passed.

“We actually received immediate approval by the planning commission, and so far so good on the permit process,” said Karen Bailey, director of public affairs for Penn National Gaming. “We’ve already filed for some of our permits, so construction will begin immediately.”

The timely start to the project is in line with the company’s reputation, said Mark V’Soske, president of the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce.

“Penn Gaming gets extremely high marks for doing what they say they’re going to do, doing it well and doing it quick,” he said.

Bailey said the construction process would require about 2,100 employees. The casino will employ about 1,200 workers once the doors open.

The gaming establishment will house 2,000 slot machines, more than 50 game tables and four restaurants.

Eating options include a buffet, steakhouse, casual dining and Hollywood on the Roof, which will serve as a venue for local entertainment on weekends. The casino will have the same theme and

general layout as Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg, Ind., but with two key differences: Toledo’s casino will not be a riverboat, nor will it have a hotel.

Full house The casino will not have lodging when it opens for business because of an agreement Destination Toledo and Penn National Gaming signed. The contract states the casino cannot build a hotel onsite or within 10 miles until

Downtown hotels reach 68 percent of its collective capacity.

“We wanted to make sure our hotels are taken care of,” said Cathy Miller, director of tourism for Destination Toledo.

“The intent there was a vibrant Downtown. We get a vibrant Downtown with 68 percent occupancy, then if they opened a hotel there that makes good business sense for all of us.”

A shuttle will take casino patrons

to and from Downtown.

The casino’s website, www.holly woodcasino-toledo.com, lists the Park Inn and Crowne Plaza as its “local hotel partners.” Both are about 4 miles from Hollywood Casino.

The closest hotel to the site is the Days Inn at 1800 Miami St., just off Interstate-75. The Comfort Inn South in Northwood is the next closest at 1 mile away. Days Inn Manager Alexis Myrice said the 145-room hotel is un-

dergoing renovations and hopes to fill up fast when the casino opens.

“The boost in business would boost the morale of the employees and make everything flow better,” she said.

Myrice said other hotels might be interested in building near the casino, but space is limited.

“There will be bids out and people will be trying to buy,” he said. “There’s just a small amount of land to build on.”

The city splits the kitty Just as lucrative as the promise of many jobs is the estimated tax revenue to be generated by the casino. In addition to property taxes, Penn National Gaming will pay and the income taxes from its employees, the passed constitutional amendment designates a third of all gambling revenues for tax use.

Ohio’s 88 counties will split 51 percent of the gaming tax, with larger counties claiming a slightly larger slice of the pie. All state public school districts share another 34 percent. Toledo will receive its share of 5 percent from the tax. The remaining 10 percent is shared among the state casino control commission, racing commission fund, law enforcement training fund and problem gambling and addictions fund.

Lucas County and Toledo will receive an estimated $25.3 million from the gaming tax annually, Bailey said.

Hollywood Casino Toledo is just yards away from Rossford, but the suburb will not see any of the tax benefits the “host city” will receive. Rossford City Administrator Ed Ciecka hopes that changes.

“We are treated as if we were in Portsmouth, Ohio,” he said.

“There is no provision in the constitutional amendment that gives any additional compensation to the City of Rossford. That is a concern of ours.

We’re hoping with cooperation there will be some recognition of that host city designation.”

Wilmott called Rossford the company’s “second host community.”

Craig said Penn National Gaming has been cooperating with Rossford and has proven to be a strong corpo-

rate partner thus far. He cited the company’s decision to reimburse Toledo for expenses incurred while prepping the site for construction as an example.

A regional attraction Not a single poker table at Hollywood Casino will be in place until 2012, but other local destinations are already using the venue as a bargaining chip. V’Soske said SeaGate Convention Centre is already booking conventions for 2012 and hopes to attract patrons by soliciting the casino as a potential entertainment destination. He said the casino will benefit, not compete with the SeaGate Centre.

“It’s another hook to get people,” V’Soske said. “When you sell conventions, you’re selling two to three years out. The marketing that Destination Toledo does promotes the Hollywood Casino for 2012.”

Raceway Park, also owned by Penn National Gaming, is Toledo’s other main gambling outlet. Although the harness racing track is not permitted to use slot machines, Director of Marketing and Guest Services John McNamara said he is not concerned about losing customers to the casino because horse racing and casino gambling are different.

“If anything, it’s going to enhance our appeal as a gambling outlet,” he said. “It’s going to be an easier sell for people to come out and give us a shot.”

Area taxi services hope to cash in when patrons cash out and leave Hollywood Casino for the evening. Jackie Hines of Checker Cab said driving home inebriated individuals is part of the company’s regimen.

“At night, it’s more people who have been drinking and don’t want to drive. A lot of people call to get a ride

to the bar and get a ride home,” she said.

Scott Potter of Black and White Cab Company said his business will likely increase regardless of alcohol use because many casino patrons will be used to traveling by taxi, as is common in Las Vegas.

A safe bet The Andersons said they rarely see Toledo Police officers patrolling their corner of the city. When the casino opens, they think that will change.

“They think we’re part of Rossford, so now we’ll probably have more police protection than we’ve ever had,” Sandy Anderson said.

The casino also affects the Toledo Fire Department. Station No. 6, currently on Starr Avenue, is the closest firehouse to the casino. Coincidentally, the station will be relocated closer to the casino to the corner of Oak and Fassett streets — a move in the works long before Issue 3 was passed.

“I’ve been on the job for 26 years, and for 26 years we’ve been trying to build a new No. 6,” said Deputy Chief Phil Cervantes with a laugh.

In case of a fire, Cervantes said the department would dispatch only Toledo fire stations. He said Rossford Fire Department would not be called in for mutual aid unless the fire escalated.

“I don’t anticipate a great influx of runs, no more than when anybody else builds a business,” Cervantes said.

But many view the casino as much more than just another business, including Mayor Bell.

“What we have to do is figure out how to bring it together, all together,” he said. “If we don’t fix this ship here, we’re all going to sink, and Penn National has given us a life preserver.”

Owens Success reaches Lake HS, Hancock County Owens Community College has expanded its Success Program to include all of Hancock County and Lake High School.

“It means a great deal to these students. The program will be available to all students who graduate from public schools within Hancock County,” said Ann Savage, Owens executive director of college development and Owens Foundation president.

Owens Success Program, which began in 2008, is designed to make college more affordable for high school students in need. The scholarship bridges the gap between Pell federal aid grants and the cost of tuition at Owens. Students must have finished high school and attend Owens for more than 12 credit hours each semester. Funds for the program come from the Owens Foundation.

Graduates of high schools in Hancock County, as well as Lake, which is in Wood County, will be able to participate in the Success Program this year.

The expansion of the Success Program to all of Hancock County was made possible by a $15,000 challenge grant by the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation in February. The Owens Foundation matched the grant and was able to establish the Success Program throughout the county.

A total of 23 schools now benefit from the Success Program, including Toledo Public Schools.

Following the destruction of Lake High School in a June 5 tornado, the school will be housed in the Owens Center for Development and Training building. Owens Community College fall semester begins Aug. 16.

For more information about the Success Program, call (567) 429-3141 or 1-800-GO-OWENS, Ext. 3141.

Brundage remembered through music, poetry

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

PHOTO COURTESY WARREN WOODBERRY

Hundreds came to the Toledo Botanical Gardens to celebrate the life of Toledo resident and activist Robert Brundage on Aug. 7.

The event featured poetry readings, musical performances and stories of the late 66-year-old. Friends and representatives from various organizations Brundage was involved in attended the event to pay tribute. “‘Dr. Bob’ was a real gift. Instead of mourning his death, we take what he gave and see how we can continue his work — celebrate it, keep the torch lit,” said Donna Cohen, co-owner of the Happy Badger, who was in charge of coordinating performers for the event.

“Everyone could learn from this man. He gave so much enjoyed every minute of life. Taking joy in simple things, such as a butterfly,” Cohen said. “He gave so much, to the city of Toledo. Any time I’d go to any community organization meeting, he was there. He seemed to be everywhere — seemed like that was his profession.”

The day of remembrance was organized by the Toledo Board of Community Relations (BCR) and was designed to encapsulate every facet of the community Brundage was involved in, said Warren Woodberry, chairman of the community relations committee for the BCR and the event’s facilitator.

“The event was to remember his community service, his work and his life. He was on committees involving social issues, environmental, feeding the hungry, youth, you name it,” Woodberry said.

Brundage was attacked by a 15-year-old — who was trying to steal the bicycle Brundage rode everywhere — after a Toledo Area Jobs with Jus-

tice Coalition meeting June 22, 2009.

Brundage was in a coma for two weeks following the attack and passed away July 7, 2009.

Dailahntae Jemison, Brundage’s attacker, was sentenced to five years at the Ohio Department of Youth Services for the homicide.

Performances during the event included poetry from MADD (Making a Direct Difference) and Brundage’s friends as well as blues and folk music and a Native American flute player.

Brundage, who played the cello for the Toledo Symphony, was also honored with a performance by the Toledo International Youth Orchestra.

Four cellists played “Rose,” in remembrance of Brundage’s love of flowers, Woodberry said.

In addition to performances and speeches from friends, a list of the numerous organizations Brundage participated in was read. Some of the groups he was involved with included Urban Coalition, Erase the Hate, Toledo Area Jobs With Justice Coalition, Toledo GROWS, Toledo Central City Neighborhoods Community Development Corporation, Toledo Metroparks and the Scott Alumni Association.

Brundage’s brother Richard drove from Columbus for the event and was “impressed by the outpouring of feelings and support for my brother’s work.”

“All in all it was rather overwhelming, the support from the organizations. Individuals kept coming up to me, some I already knew and others who I didn’t know, with stories of Robert,” Richard said. “It was promoting the spirit with which [Robert] participated with organizations.”

Richard accepted proclamations from the mayor’s office, City Council, the county, the Ohio House of Representatives and the Ohio Senate in honor of his brother, he said. He was

also presented a flag, flown over the Capitol, from Ohio Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur’s office.

Event organizers hope to honor Brundage each year in some way.

“We’re going to sit down and talk and look forward to honoring him every year in some shape, form or

fashion to keep his memory alive,” Woodberry said.

A scholarship established in Brundage’s name at Scott High School through the Toledo Public Schools Foundation has already received more than $1,150. During the Brundage memorial celebration, the scholarship re-

ceived a $500 check, Woodberry said.

Donations for the Brundage/Scott Alumni Scholarship may be sent to the Toledo Public Schools Foundation. For more information about the scholarship, contact Susan K. Zurawski at (419) 535-6568, or e-mail her at suez@accesstoledo.com.

Hollywood hasn’t been kind to Arab Americans. From films that include “Black Sunday” and “Patriot Games” to the TV shows “24” and “Sleeper Cell,” Middle Easterners tend to be typecast as villains.

Such celluloid depiction is one reason Samir Abu-Absi edited and wrote a chapter for a new book, “Arab Americans in Toledo” (The University of Toledo Press).

“Unfair and gratuitous stereotypical images of Arab Americans are so prevalent in Western media and popular culture,” he said.

“While I was familiar with the negative stereotype attached to Arabs and Muslims, I had faith that the American people were fairminded enough to recognize the stereotype for what it is.”

But the Gulf War and Sept. 11, 2001 added fuel to vilifying anything Arab or Muslim.

“This is a tremendous problem that needs to be addressed with vigilance,” Abu-Absi said.

The UT professor emeritus of English was born in Lebanon and came to the States for graduate school. After receiving master’s and doctoral degrees in Indiana, he joined the UT

faculty and moved to Toledo, where he has lived for more than 40 years.

“I wanted to help recognize the valuable contributions of Arab Americans in Toledo whose stories of struggle, success and community involvement deserve to be told,” he said. “These are decent, hard-working, intelligent people who defy the prevalent stereotype.”

The 320-page book is divided into three sections: heritage, profiles and interviews.

Danny Thomas and Jamie Farr, two celebrities who grew up in the Glass City, are included in the profile section.

“Jamie Farr encouraged me to do this project,” Abu-Absi said. “He gave me permission to reprint some chapters from his autobiography, which we did. He is a very approachable, kind person who loves Toledo.”

More than 30 people helped Abu-Absi with the book. They conducted interviews, wrote chapters and tracked down information.

“It really was a labor of love that so many people contributed to,” Abu-Absi said.

Several of these people have UT connections. Saleh Jabarin, director of the UT Polymer Institute, wrote a chapter on the University’s Imam Khattab Endowed Chair in Islamic Studies, and Dr. S. Amjad Hussain, UT trustee and professor emeritus of thoracic and

cardiovascular surgery, contributed a chapter on Abdul Moneim Mahmoud Khattab.

Interviews featured include George Isaac, UT benefactor and namesake of UT Medical Center’s George Isaac Minimally Invasive Surgery Center; Amira Gohara, former acting MCO president and professor and dean emerita of pathology; and Sonia Najjar, UT professor of physiology and pharmacology and director of the Center for Diabetes and Endocrine Research. Gaby Semaan, UT lecturer in Arabic, and Michelle Davidson, UT associate lecturer in English, conducted interviews. And numerous University alumni wrote chapters and helped with interviews.

“As an editor and publisher, I am really proud of this book,” said Tom Barden, director of the UT Honors Program, professor of English and co-editor of the UT Press. “Abu-Absi and his co-authors have created a fascinating and delightful portrait of this great Toledo community.

“They have also given us an important and timely book. There is so much bigotry and ignorance swirling around the words ‘Arab’ and ‘Arab-American’ right now that I think everyone in the country ought to read it.”

“Arab Americans in Toledo,” $25, is available in the UT Bookstore and at Borders.

Jaffe joins Kaptur, Iott in race for 9th District seat

By Gail Burkhardt TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

Joseph Jaffe said he will use his experience outside of politics to change government if he is elected to Congress on the Libertarian ticket.

The Sylvania resident was approved Aug. 7 to replace Jeremy Swartz in the running for the 9th District U.S. Congressional seat.

Swartz stepped down from the campaign JAFFE in June for family reasons. Incumbent Democrat Marcy Kaptur and Republican Rich Iott are also running for the seat.

Jaffe’s family owns restaurant supplier Tyler Meat Company in Downtown Toledo’s warehouse dis-

trict. Jaffe does different jobs for the business including driving a delivery truck, working on assembly lines and working in management. “I think I have a pretty good perspective of both sides [of a business],� he said, explaining that he thinks Congress needs more “career people� and fewer career politicians.

Jaffe supports traditional Libertarian values, such as lower taxes, more freedoms and less government influence. He said he does not think Republicans or Democrats are serving the country well. “Both of these parties have been in power and this is where our country is now,� he said.

Although he has not campaigned since the primary, when he lost to Swartz by fewer than 30 votes, Jaffe said he does not think he is behind in the race. Jaffe began meeting groups and people about a year and a half

$0/46- 3&$-*/&3 PO TBMF BU UISPVHI 4FQUFNCFS

ago, he said. He also has remained on friendly terms with Swartz. “We wanted to create positive vibes as opposed to negative vibes,� he said.

Swartz expressed his confidence in his replacement. “I think he’ll do a fantastic job and he’s the perfect person to represent the

party,� Swartz said.

During the May 4 primary when Swartz and Jaffe ran, Lucas County had the fourth highest Libertarian voter turnout in the state, said Ken Sharp, the Lucas County Development Coordinator for the party.

Sharp said he hopes Jaffe’s candidacy

STORMING BACK

Fiske Brothers company comforts the Blank family 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

The Toledo company where Ed Blank has worked for 30 years has proven that business is as thick as blood.

Co-workers at Fiske Brothers Refining Co. were desperate to get information on Ed and his family after the June 5 tornado, according to Sue Hornstein, human resources man-

ager. They knew Main Street in Millbury — where Ed lived — had been the hardest hit.

Hornstein called Ed’ss son to ask if everyonee was OK. That was when n the younger Ed, who o also works at Fiske, told d Sue his dad’s house wass BLANK destroyed.

“He told me the wholee story,” she said. “I wass fielding phone call afterr phone call that morning.”

As word spread, d, taking care of the Blankss — emotionally and financially — took priority.

“We were devastated,” Hornstein

said. “Everybody was running in saying, ‘Oh Oh my gosh, what happened to Ed’?”

Hornstein said the company has been and c will w continue to be flexible for f their technical manager.

Co-workers undera stand Ed might be a little s late l to work because he is FAMILY: taking his son, Casey, to t the t temporary Lake High School at Owens ComS munity College. Or he m might have to leave early m to t pick him up because the family is living in Oregon f until u their house is rebuilt, which means no bus service.

“Ed has been here forever. He is a

back

hardworking and a conscientious employee,” Hornstein said.

That was why the New Jerseybased company president, Richard McCluskey, called Ed and said “take as much time as you need.” The company also allowed Ed to use one of its vehicles until he was able to replace his personal vehicles that were mangled in the tornado.

“They have been extremely supportive,” said Ed, who took three weeks off from work. “I was in no shape to work. I wouldn’t have accomplished anything if I was in.”

Hornstein said it was nice when Ed returned, and co-workers teased him a bit.

“We are glad to have him back,”

Hornstein said. “He is a good worker.

Ed takes care of our lottery pool here.

And people said, ‘Ed, you got to be kidding. You can get hit by a tornado, but you can’t hit the lottery for us.’”

Hornstein said Ed and his wife, Julie, have been appreciative to the point where she thinks they almost feel guilty for taking help. Ed said the company’s charity committee has helped the family, and employees have made personal donations to the family. In particular, he wants to thank upper management for being supportive.

“I am thinking he came back to work to try to get some normalcy in his life,” Hornstein said. “He has to start from scratch, but he will be OK.”

This fall, The Butterfly House in Whitehouse is allowing area residents to get lost in Crystal Bowersox’s hair.

The Butterfly House is honoring Bowersox with a corn maze dedicated to the “American Idol” runner-up.

“Bowersox has had a positive impact on Toledo and Northwest Ohio as a whole. We thought why not carry that excitement into the fall,” said owner Duke Wheeler.

This year’s theme came from Wheeler’s daughter.

The Bowersox design offers four different mazes with varying skill levels. The mazes vary in length from 0.7 miles to 3 miles.

“It’s good old America sit back and relax and have fun,” Wheeler said.

The season kicks off Sept. 12 and runs through Oct. 31. The maze made national news in 2008 with a maze of then-GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

During the evening, The Butterfly House lights bonfires and offers hot dogs and hot chocolate, Wheeler said.

Admission anges from $7 to $8.

Kids 5 and younger are free. Discounts for seniors are available.

Coupons are also available on the website.

This year, Wheeler said he hopes to raise money for victims of the June 5 tornadoes.

Algae prompts warnings at Ohio park lakes (AP) — Officials have now issued warnings about three Ohio state park lakes because of toxic, blue-green algae seen in the water. Signs were posted in recent days advising visitors not to touch the water or go boating on Cutler Lake at Blue Rock State Park in eastern Ohio’s Muskingum County. Similar warnings have been in effect at western Ohio’s Grand Lake St. Marys, the state’s largest inland lake and at Burr Oak State Park in southeast Ohio.

The earthy “spiritual gift” store, located inside of the Davis Building, 135 N. Michigan St., prides itself on providing products that are from fair trade organizations, good for the environment and produced by local artists.

When you need a Family Physician, where do you turn?

Rae said she felt was a profound need to help others bring balance to their lives through sound. On a trip to Arizona, Rae got a glimpse of “The Sound Wave Bed” developed by Boehme Music of Germany. It boasts a 40-string monochord tuned to three octaves of the same note. From there, a business was born.

Rae said she “created a space where people can come in and touch and feel everything; they can play the drum, feel the vibration of the singing bowl ... it’s a hands-on place.”

The Sound Wave Bed is the main source of healing within the studio.

It is available to view, but remains untouched unless healing therapy is in progress.

The Sound Wave Bed treatment consists of sitting or reclining in comfort, allowing the vibrations of the bed to radiate through the body, creating healing, relaxation, peace and the feeling of being centered, Rae said.

The singing bowl is another point of interest for Suite Vibration patrons.

These brass bowls were hammered and made in Tibet between 300-500 years ago. They create a tone that connects to the user, creating a healthy vibration that stimulates the “chakra,” or energy centers in the body.

Besides the healing element of Suite Vibrations, customers can purchase various drums, glass art, wall art, home accessories, incense, greeting cards, transformative CDs empowering children’s books and other items. Rae said “the joy of Suite Vibrations is that you cannot only receive sound healing, but play, purchase and take home items!”

A second facet of Rae’s vision, the “Suite Lightworker’s Co-operative,” (SLC) was initially slated to happen in her storage space. Her mission statement is, “our mission is to support your mission.”

The co-op provides an affordable space for healers, educators and various workshop facilitators to rent by the day or hour to provide services to the community. Amy Hamilton, a registered nurse, crystalline consciousness technique (CCT) certified teacher and advanced energy master is a “proud member of the SLC.” Hamilton utilizes the co-op for therapy sessions and said, “the co-op is an affordable space that Ashima has created so that we can rent healing space for our clients, events and classes. Because it’s affordable, professional space, we are able to build our business.”

The co-op has attracted massage therapists, yoga providers, various workshops, belly dancing lessons, CCT and other classes. Rae said the “potential is endless” for entities that can utilize the co-op.

Suite Vibrations opened officially Aug. 4. Beginning Sept. 13, “Movie Monday” will launch its first showing of spiritual movies with positive messages. There will also be a gallery reading Sept. 15 with medium John Turski.

Rae said she welcomes various vendors, service providers and healers who are interested in utilizing the co-op for business purposes or special events.

STORM AFTERMATH

BRINGING THE FLAVORS OF

Therapy can help post-tornado anxiety mexico

By Mary Petrides

TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER mpetrides@toledofreepress.com

Anxiety can be a major problem for people affected by natural disasters like this summer’s tornadoes, said Mychail Scheramic, a psychologist at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center.

Scheramic said fear is a natural and often healthy response, because it can keep people away from danger later on. But when fear gets out of hand, anxiety problems begin.

“For some people, it can be a tremendous strain,” he said.

“Anxiety means anything from people feeling really nervous to increased adaptive behaviors such as smoking or drinking,” he said.

Tornado sirens or weather accumulating on the horizon can trigger anxiety, he said. The anxiety increases with more triggers.

“Hearing about these things, reading about them, seeing the devastation all become potential triggers for people to be worried about next time,” he said.

Scheramic said storms are especially worrisome because they are unpredictable.

“It doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to have gone through a tornado or lost something, but just the fact that it’s so random, and people have difficulty with the idea that it’s a random occurrence,” he said.

“Yes, they are random things, but it’s a very unusual situation,” he said.

“It’s good to be prepared for all these

things, but to let it impact your life to the point where you can’t function is a problem for some people.”

Sometimes, anxiety gets so bad that people have panic attacks. A person having a panic attack will have sweaty palms, feel a sense of intense unease and may have an upset stomach. The person’s heart rate and breathing will accelerate. When someone has a first panic attack, it’s important to call 911 or get to a doctor as soon as possible.

Therapy can help as a long-term solution for anxiety, whether or not the person is having panic attacks. In therapy, people learn how to monitor their own physiological reactions and calm themselves down.

“Whenever it’s impacting your life significantly to the point where it’s dif-

ficult to do the things you really like doing, or you can’t do things you really like doing … then it is time to talk to somebody about maybe getting some treatment for that.”

Talking with friends, exercising, reading, meditating, eating right and breathing deeply can help reduce anxiety, whether mild or severe, Scheramic said. Cardiovascular exercise is especially helpful, because it can release endorphins to soothe the brain. Anxiety can cause muscles to tense and contract, and exercise releases that tension.

Scheramic said anxiety is common, but it’s not unstoppable.

“You don’t want this to control your life,” Scheramic said. “You don’t want panic attacks or anxiety to keep you from doing things in your life.”

Former athletes face challenges to getting back in shape

By Betsy Woodruff

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Getting in shape is rarely easy. But people who have worked out in the past, like former high school athletes, face some unique challenges.

Marcus Zapata, a personal trainer at Snap Fitness, said he trains many former high school and college athletes who have developed poor workout habits. Often, they learned from coaches who emphasized strength versus flexibility and technique. As a result, they tend to be less flexible and have a narrow range of motion.

When he works with former athletes who want to regain their physical strength, Zapata begins by focusing on stretches. Improving flexibility can help people prevent injuries like torn tendons and ligaments. It also helps people feel better overall.

Then he encourages them to work out with free weights — instead of machines — because this also helps improve overall flexibility by allowing their bodies to move naturally, instead of being anchored in one place on a machine. He helps his clients develop full-body strength; if they just focus their energy on part of their body, like their legs, they tend to neglect the rest of it, becoming disproportionate. So people who want better abs shouldn’t just do lots of crunches; they should

eat right and balance their training.

Working out the entire body also helps prevent back injuries, according to Zapata.

Still, he said people should have reasonable strength-training goals.

“Don’t ego-lift,” he said.

Instead, beginners should work out at a comfortable pace.

Zapata also said people hoping to regain fitness should do strength training before cardio, even though this will make the cardio more dif-

ficult. Weight training burns sugar, making it easier to burn fat during cardio workouts, according to Zapata.

To keep from overworking, he tells his clients to make sure they can breathe while doing cardio workouts.

His clients begin by doing cardio for 25 to 30 minutes every other day after weight training.

“Set realistic goals for yourself,” Zapata said. n SHAPE CONTINUES ON A19

n SHAPE CONTINUED FROM A18 He added that short-term goals can help people stay motivated better than long-term goals. When he trains for bodybuilding competitions, he said he sets goals for each month to help him accomplish his long-term plans.

If people dread going to the gym, the solution is simple.

“Pop some headphones in your ears and just go for it!” he said.

Having a personal trainer also helps keep his clients motivated because they feel obligated to keep their appointments.

“Motivation is what gets you started, but habit is what keeps you going,” said Miriam Jueckstock, the owner of the Curves on Laskey Road.

She said people trying to get back in shape should make personal fitness a regular part of their schedule.

“If you say, ‘I hope to get there,’ guess what? You won’t get there,” Jueckstock said.

Instead, many of her most successful clients put fitness on their schedule, working out for 30 minutes after work, three days every week.

SHORT-TERM REHAB CENTER

Heart Attackk Almost every 30 seconds, someone in the United States suffers a heart attack.

It is important to know the signs of a heart attack in order to take action when an incident occurs.

The Road to Recovery starts here

A heart attack takes place when blood flow to a section of the heart muscle is blocked. Without blood and oxygen that section of the heart muscle will become damaged and if it is not restored in time the blocked section will die.

There are several warnings signs that usually occur before a heart attack strikes. The most common and telling sign is pain or discomfort. This pain is located in the center of the chest and lasts for several minutes. Shortness of breath, pain in one or both arms, nausea, and lightheadedness are other ways that your body can be warning you of a heart attack.

Women may also experience chest pain, in addition to other symptoms including shortness of breath, nausea/ vomiting, and back or jaw pain.

If you feel that you are experiencing the warning signs of a heart attack – Call 9-1-1 immediately. Every second counts.

They also set reasonable goals for themselves.

Having manageable plans is especially important for people trying to lose a lot of weight.

“It didn’t all come on at once and it won’t leave at once,” she said.

Instead, people who want to lose a significant amount of weight should say something like, “This week, I’m going to lose 1 pound and quit eating whatever so I can lose that.”

“It’s not as hard as you think,” Jueckstock said. “One day at a time, you actually get strong very fast.”

People who have led sedentary lifestyles can be discouraged by the challenges of working out.

“You’re going to feel like you’re dying the first week,” she said.

But she says they shouldn’t give up because of initial challenges.

“In a month, you’re going to feel totally stronger,” she said. “It is amazing, because the body responds to that; it gets the blood moving and flowing, gets it to the brain, gets those endorphins moving, makes you feel better. So, if you’re tired and sluggish and can’t seem to quit eating and just can’t get motivated, get on your feet, get moving. You will be stronger before you know it.”

Zapata said people who want to lose weight should stop eating sweets and carbs at night.

“If everybody cut carbs at nighttime, everybody would lose weight,” he said.

LEADERSHIP

First Solar’s Sohn to chair Manufacturing Council

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

Bruce Sohn, president of First Solar, was recently appointed to chair Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke’s Manufacturing Council, representing the solar industry on a national level.

“By appointing a leader in solar manufacturing to chair Commerce Secretary’s Manufacturing Council, the Obama administration has told the world that the solar industry is becoming a backbone for our economy and offers a bright future for U.S. manufacturing,” said Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association [SEIA] based in Washington, D.C., in a statement released Aug. 10.

“This council is an effective step to help America create good-paying jobs and regain its global leadership in solar manufacturing. Step No. 1 for the council should be to work with the administration and Congress to enact long-term manufacturing policy measures that support clean energy,” Resch said.

“As a council, we need to make recommendations to strengthen manufacturing in the U.S.,” Sohn said in a telephone interview Aug. 11.

“It is important that there is strong interest in Washington to advance manufacturing in the future and help stabilize the economy. Soliciting advice from manufacturing companies through this council is important,” Sohn said.

“The council should focus on the advancement of new technologies for renewable energy and to facilitate financing for manufacturing expansion.

The council needs to facilitate creative and effective thinking to make policy recommendations to the administration,” Sohn said.

Ten years ago, the U.S. produced 40 percent of all solar photovoltaic panels in the world. Today, the U.S. manufactures less than 10 percent of the global supply of photovoltaic panels, according to the SEIA. This trend is reversible as the U.S. leads the world in technology innovation and skilled manufacturing workforce, Resch said.

With recently announced additional funding for the Advanced Energy Manufacturing Tax Credit, the SEIA reports that 58 solar energy plants are being built or expanded in the United States.

Sohn cited that investment in manufacturing research and development is occurring in Northwest Ohio.

The recent expansion of First Solar’s R&D and manufacturing facilities in Perrysburg began before the manufacturing tax credit proSOHN gram. However, First Solar received a tax credit for expansion of its local facilities.

“I am proud of the people in Perrysburg in R&D and manufacturing for us, as it all originates there,” Sohn said. “We expanded manufacturing by modernizing three lines, adding another line and expanding R&D to support our growth and capabilities.”

First Solar’s employment in Perrysburg has grown from 300 in 2006 to more than 1,000 employees working there today, Sohn said.

The company, now based in Arizona, is the largest manufacturer of thin-cell photovoltaic panels in the world, according to the SEIA. First Solar is a member of SEIA and maintains a seat on its board of directors.

In another development, the U.S. House passed a Senate Bill that President Obama signed into law

“

“The council should focus on the advancement of new technologies for renewable energy and to facilitate financing for manufacturing expansion. The council needs to facilitate creative and effective thinking to make policy recommendations to the administration.”

— Bruce Sohn Aug. 10, which cut the renewable energy loan guarantee program by $1.5 billion. The original $6 billion program was reduced by $2 billion to fund the Cash for Clunkers program in 2009.

There is now less money and financing for large utility-scale solar generating plants and investment in the manufacturing of solar energy components, SEIA officials said.

Sohn said the council hopes that restoration of those funds will be addressed by Congress. The council would be supportive of the treasury grant program to create growth in renewable energy manufacturing, he said.

“The Section 1603 Treasury Grant Program in combination with the Department of Energy loan guarantee program are powerful policies driving private sector investment in solar energy projects. Congressional leaders have expressed a commitment to restore the loan guarantee funding, and we strongly support such an action,” Kathy Weiss, vice president of federal government affairs at First Solar, said in a statement released by the company.

“The permanent loss of these loan guarantee funds, combined with the impending expiration of the Treasury Grant Program at the end of this year if no congressional action is taken to extend it, could undermine the strong growth demonstrated by the solar industry even in the headwinds of a weak economy,” Weiss said.

Gary Thieman has been selected as the head of Medical Mutual of Ohio’s Northwest Ohio region. Thieman will serve as the company’s senior vice president of sales and customer relations for commercial business starting Aug. 16.

“It’s a tremendous opportunity, something that has kept me energized. I plan on working for the next five years with health care reform. There are lots of changes on the horizon,” he said.

Thieman isn’t sure what the changes would be yet because details of the health care reform and how it will be implemented are still coming out, he said.

In addition, Thieman is a member of the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Execu-

Four easy financial tips cusing on their finances is something that usually comes at the end or the beginning of the year.

Yet, with a stock market that seems to be going nowhere, those looking to finish the year strong shouldn’t wait.

Instead, they should take this time of

the year to get educated about smart ideas and strategies to maximize finances instead of waiting until the winter months.

■ Tip No. 1, investors need to be careful who they listen to. New bailouts and countless rules and regulations will

be coming out of Washington. Issues like what to do with the expiring tax cuts, the new financial regulation, health care reform and more are likely to be hot topics making the news in the near future. Investments to buy and sell before the end of the year will be debated on the financial news networks. All are entertaining ideas to listen to, but none of those ideas take into consideration an investor’s personal situation. Each idea needs to be reviewed carefully before acting.

■ Tip No. 2, don’t get complacent with finances. Feelings of Mark hope, relief and optimism are common Nolan emotions right now, which lead to investors putting financial decisions on hold until things get back to where they used to be. Instead, take this calm before the next storm to learn from what didn’t work in the last market decline. Put steps in place to allow the investments to continue to grow, but with updated strategies to prevent problems of the past. Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again, yet expecting the results to be different in the future.”

■ Tip No. 3, create a plan for the unexpected and unknowns. This may seem difficult to do since we don’t know all of the uncertainties that could come up. The recent disaster in the Gulf illustrates how it can cost companies and families billions to not have a solid backup plan in place and ready to go. Many families will never be able to financially recover from their losses, and corporations will be paying the price for years to come.

A way an investors can help avoid a blowup is to have their current plan

reviewed by an independent financial professional. A new set of eyes looking from the outside in can often point out the individual dangers that could be ahead. Think outside of the box, if you will.

■ Tip No. 4, control spending and avoid adding new payments in this uncertain time. Sure, a brand-new car might seem like a great bargain right now. Let’s say a new car that normally sells for $30,000 can be bought right now with all of the deals for $25,000. Is that a good deal? It might CLAIR sound like it, until a consumer factors in BAKER a new car can lose 50, 60, or 70 percent of its value in the first 4 years. Assuming $12,500 in depreciation, it can be like throwing $260 out the car window every month, ouch!

If you need that new car feeling, go out and spend $100 on a great detail job. Instead of buying new, focus on paying cash for good used items, be it cars, boats, golf clubs or just about anything. Paying cash for items can be a way to get additional discounts.

Once the tips are addressed and checked off the list, you can get back to enjoying the beautiful weather.

Antique bottle nets more than $2K for Toledo woman A Toledo woman recently made a profit of more than $2,500 when she sold a perfume bottle sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d purchased with other items for $2 at a local auction.

Amy Kagey, a stay-at-home mom, began reselling items on eBay in the late 90s.

She said she spends about 20-25 hours working per week, including about 10

hours shopping at garage and estate sales, auctions and thrift stores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m usually able to make a profit off the things I buy,â&#x20AC;? Kagey said.

Not every purchase makes a profit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you buy something that you think is worth $100 and it sells for $10,â&#x20AC;? she said.

But she said the bottle was her biggest profit by far.

The bottle, designed by Maurice Depinoix, was made around 1927 and stands almost 5 inches tall, according to Kageyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s description on eBay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a rare and hard to find Art Deco style bottle by a premier

Jade Montrie, Kageyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend and an auctioneer at a different auction house, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to learn what people are willing to pay for various items. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that knowledge, you could go to garage sales and buy stuff for $10 and sell it for $10 on eBay, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wasted your time,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that it would be a good idea for somebody just to quit their job and make a living off going to garage sales,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Knowledge and experience are important, but sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of luck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve left things at garage sales that were worth a lot of money,â&#x20AC;?

After winning a Heisman Trophy and a Super Bowl MVP award, Howard’s latest career move, venturing into the world of television, has left him on pins and needles at times.

“I think I have done OK,” Howard said, referring to his fledgling broadcasting career. “The benefit I have over any other person is that when I go to work, I learn from the best.”

The “best” refers to Howard’s television cohorts on the set of ESPN’s “College GameDay.” Howard joined the trio of Chris Fowler, former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herb■ CHRIS FOWLER AND DESMOND HOWARD AT OSU. streit, and former collegiate coach Lee Corso in 2008, after Howard continues to be a big supporter of his alma retiring from the NFL. “I am not just saying they are the best because I have mater too, despite Michigan’s recent struggles on the footworked with them,” he said. “I challenge anybody to find ball field.

The Toledo Junior Golf Association (TJGA) has established a scholarship to honor its former president and board member Paul Szymanski.

Szymanski battled brain cancer for 14 years, but remained active with TJGA until his death July 3.

“We wanted to honor Paul for all of his contributions to the Toledo Junior Golf Association,” said Scott Walsh, TJGA board member. “He was on the board for 10 years and served as president. He was a great junior golfer when he was a kid and won the organization’s top golf award back in 1981. He was a great guy.

A lot of the association’s success and growth can be attributed to him.”

TJGA is a nonprofit organization that aims to develop competitive junior golfers in the Toledo area. Boys and girls ages 12 to 18 participate in 16 events throughout the area each year. The Paul Szymanski Spirit Award will recognize one incoming or outgoing high school senior who demonstrates a love of life and golf. The recipient of the $1,000 scholarship must have a good grade point average and have dealt with an obstacle in his or her life. It is the first TJGA honor to include a college scholarship.

TJGA will host a golf tournament to go toward the endowment for the award, which has been established through the Toledo Community Foundation.

The four-man golf scramble will take place Aug. 28 at the South Toledo Golf Club, 3915 Heatherdowns Blvd.

The cost of the benefit is $80 per player. Registration is at noon with a shotgun start at 1 p.m.

The fee includes 18 holes of golf, a cart, lunch and dinner. The event will feature 50/50 raffles, as well as longest drive and closest to the pin contests.

Preregistration is available on the TJGA website, www.toledojuniorgolf.com.

Parts maker plans Indiana plant opening, Ohio closing (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Officials say an auto parts company plans to reopen a closed factory in northeastern Indiana while it is shutting down an Ohio plant. The Journal Gazette of Fort Wayne reports that Continental Structural Plastics expects to spend at least $9.1 million on upgrades to the Huntington factory and perhaps have 350 workers there by 2012. Huntington County development director Mark Wickersham said the company expects to begin production at the plant in September. Gov. Mitch Daniels joined local leaders in an official announcement Aug. 11 at the factory closed two years ago by Meridian Automotive Systems. Troy, Mich.-based Continental said in Ohio state filings that it intends to close its North Baltimore factory in October and lay off all 214 workers.

E. S. Wagner Company has begun work on construction of the I-75 and I-475 interchange, keeping the money for the $64 million project in the Toledo-area economy.

The local civil and highway construction firm based in Oregon was awarded the bid or the three-year project in June by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good job for us and our people, keeping the jobs and money in this area,â&#x20AC;? said John Wagner, vice president of E. S. Wagner.

As prime contractor for the I75/I-475 project, E. S. Wagner will perform 75 percent of the work with 80 to 100 employees on the job, Wagner said. The remainder of the work will be subcontracted to local companies which will complete the electrical, landscaping, paving and signage.

Another local company, Kuhlman Corporation of Maumee, will provide all the concrete for the project.

Wagner was selected as the low bid for this highway construction project.

The second and third bidders on the

job were companies from Cleveland and Fredricktown, respectively, Wagner said. Mosser Construction Inc. of Fremont bid as part of a joint venture with another company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very expensive to operate a construction company like this,â&#x20AC;? said Wagner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fuel costs are the most significant for such large projects.â&#x20AC;?

He said it cost from $25,000 to $50,000 just to bid on the project after obtaining the plans about 40 days before the bid due date with ODOT. Wagner owns more than 400 heavyduty construction vehicles with 50 earth movers, most manufactured by Caterpillar, with cranes from Link-Belt, and trucks from Ford and Chevy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe in using Americanmade products,â&#x20AC;? Wagner said.

The I-75/I-475 project is one of several large highway constructions projects the company has undertaken in recent years, Wagner said. He reported the company had revenues of $115 million in 2009.

E.S. Wagner is also the prime contractor for the widening of Wheeling Street from Brown Road to Navarre Avenue in Oregon through ODOT. The two-year project that includes a bridge over I-280 is scheduled for completion in fall 2011.

An informational meeting for the Wheeling Street project will be held Aug. 17 at 8:30 a.m. in the St. Charles Hospital auditorium.

The firm is currently building new bridges on the Anthony Wayne Trail over Collingwood Avenue and Swan Creek leading into Downtown Toledo.

The company was the prime contractor for the north approach of I-280 from the Greenbelt Parkway to Manhattan Boulevard as well as the prime contractor for the construction of the Greenbelt Parkway from Cherry Street to I-280.

It served as the prime subcontractor to Fru-Con on portions of the construction of I-280 and the Skyway Bridge. The company was responsible for all roadway and drainage up to the elevated part of the bridge and subcontractor for some of the foundation and substructure work on the bridge, Wagner said.

E.S. Wagner was the prime contractor for four other highway construction projects on more than 35 miles of state Route 30 in Hancock, Wyandot, Crawford and Richland counties completed in 2008. Their most recent contract with ODOT was for $110 million, with others totaling

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first involvement with ODOT was for reconstruction of State Route 24 as part of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fort to Port Projectâ&#x20AC;? from the Indiana border to the Port of Toledo. That project involved rebuilding seven bridges, four over the Tiffin and Maumee Rivers, and a full interchange in Defiance.

The company is the prime contractor for the construction of a 5 billion gallon reservoir near Lima, Ohio.

It involves moving 5 million cubic yards of earth by November with 100 employees working in two shifts, Wagner said.

E.S. Wagner was a subcontractor to Lathrop Company on the excavation, underground work and construction of pilings for the left-centerfield wall at Fifth Third Field.

E. S. Wagner has about 250 employees in Toledo and another 100 in South Carolina with peak employment of about 450 total employees, according to Wagner.

After five-year freeze, Ford will pay Bill Ford (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After a five-year wage freeze, Ford Motor Co. Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr. is getting paid again. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another sign that the automaker founded by his great-grandfather Henry Ford is healthy enough to award its top executives generous pay packages. The company recently said it earned $2.6 billion in the second quarter, its fifth-straight quarterly profit. Bill Ford will be paid $4 million in salary and in stock options with a current value of $11 million to $12 million.

The total represents pay he has earned in the last two years. In 2005, when Bill Ford was chairman and chief executive, he stopped taking a salary or bonus as the automaker floundered and racked up record losses. The following year, he stepped aside as chief executive and hired former Boeing Co. CEO Alan Mulally for the job. Mulally has been widely credited with streamlining the company and turning its operations around. In 2008, Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compensation committee ruled that Bill Ford could be paid from the beginning of 2008 once the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s automotive operations returned to profitability. The committee recently decided those conditions have been met.

Megadeth to invade Motor City

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

Twenty years ago, Megadeth unleashed its metal masterpiece, “Rust in Peace.”

“Tremble you weaklings, cower in fear,” singer-songwriter-guitarist Dave Mustaine snarled on the title track. “I rule on land, air and sea/ Pass judgment on humanity.”

Mere mortals beware: Mustaine, bass player David Ellefson, drummer Shawn Drover and guitarist Chris Broderick are playing the album in its entirety on the American Carnage Tour.

“As a mainstream album, it was not super-successful regarding radio and video play. I think that’s probably why it became such a cult classic,” Ellefson said.

“I like playing ‘Five Magics,’ ” he said during a call from his home in Scottsdale, Ariz. “To me, that’s like one of the

most musically difficult songs on the record. When we were recording it, we called it ‘The Master of Five Tempos’ because it’s basically five different songs put into one composition.”

The bassist is up for that challenge.

“I listened to everybody from Gene Simmons to Steve Harris on the rock side, and then I’d listen to people like Stanley Clarke and even Anthony Jackson who played on some Al Di Meola records,” Ellefson said. “Going outside into almost the fusion world exposed me to a level of bass playing that far exceeded what many rock players did.

“I still like the riff and the attitude of the rock guys, but combine it with the chops of the jazz guys.”

Megadeth will play the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit on Aug. 19 with Slayer and Testament. Tickets for the 7 p.m. concert range from $10 to $39.50.

After being fired from Metallica, Mustaine met Ellefson and they formed Megadeth in 1983. Guitarists

and drummers have come and gone — until Mustaine injured his arm and disbanded the group in 2002.

When Mustaine re-formed Megadeth in 2004, Ellefson wasn’t ready to come back. He rejoined the thrashers in February. “[Drover] knew certainly for the Rust in Peace Tour that it was almost mandatory that we needed to have some more original members back in the band, and I was a co-writer of that and I was a foundation of Megadeth from the very beginning,” Ellefson said.

“It’s funny, Dave and I, you know, any tensions or strains of our relationships that we had, once we got on the phone for two minutes, all of that went away, and we both thought, ‘yeah, absolutely, we should make this happen’.”

Ellefson said a new song, “Sudden Death,” will be included on Guitar Hero 6 this fall.

“It’s all about the riff,” he said. “Even though our riffs were really heavy and

a lot of [our music] had a real dark ring to it, [our songs] always had a melody or something memorable about them.”

Megadeth received its first Grammy nomination for best metal performance for “Rust in Peace.”

Seven nominations have followed.

Some might say the quartet is the Susan Lucci of thrash metal.

“I think to just be nominated is huge because what that says for metal is that metal — which has always sort of been the red-headed stepchild that everybody was hoping would just shut up and go away — when you get nominated for a Grammy, what that says is that it’s not going to go away and that it’s so popular and that it’s so loud and so boisterous that you can’t deny it and ignore it anymore,” Ellefson said.

BEER OF THE MONTH

Gut Bier, Ja?

Warsteiner Pilsner Bier has been brewed in a little town in the heart of Germany since 1753. It has been the absolute dominating brand among all German beers for many years.

The German Purity Law of 1516 dictates this beer is brewed with no chemicals, additives or preservatives.

Pouring a light straw color it has a smooth, rich full bodied taste wrapped in a thick creamy head. The ingredients lend themselves to the smooth taste with its forest spring water, tworow malted summer barley and all German hops. This beer is perfect for lazy summer days because of its clean, crisp flavors and a refreshing hop finish with no aftertaste.

Warsteiner Pilsner tastes best when chilled to a temperature between 46 and 50 degrees. As the dog days of summer approach what could be more appealing than a light dinner accompanied by the refreshing light taste of an icy cold Warsteiner Pilsner Bier.

Why not try one today?

Gracie is a 1-year-old-gray shorthaired tiger. She may look like a baby, but inside that tiny figure hides a fullgrown cat. Gracie and her kittens were brought into the Toledo Area Humane Society because her owner could not afford to take care of them. She is a friendly and fun-loving cat. She is playful and loves toys with strings.

Gracie likes to curl up in your lap as long as she is comfy and being petted.

The moment my patient knows I care.

There are moments when life is taken out of our hands and placed in someone else’s.

Rachelle is a nurse in Mercy St. Anne’s Intensive Care Unit. In her more than 30 years of nursing, her favorite moments are when patients come to know how much she cares.

Patients like 89-year-old Hazel, who liked having the curtain open to see what was going on, especially when the “handsome doctors” walked by. So Rachelle made sure Hazel never missed a thing.

These are the moments you know you’re in expert, caring hands.

The moments of Mercy.
