Reporter’s notebook

Fighting blight T

he “Toledo Loves Love” mural, located Downtown at the corner of Adams and 13th streets, was painted in 2012 and achieved immediate star status. It is often featured in articles and on TV, and people seeking a romantic backdrop regularly frequent the site for photos. Wedding parties have even been known to stop by for an eternal scrapbook keepsake.

Like any work of art, it’s open to individual interpretation and it is easy to catch symbol-itis there, finding different meanings in just about every brushstroke. But in one simple estimation, the wall depicts something broad: a message that Toledo does indeed love love.

We like good things, and doing good for one another.

Who doesn’t?

Tom Konecny Like any family, we citizens have our imperfections. A holiday gathering, for example, doesn’t make those go away, but it helps us celebrate our family and the good times together. It gives us a moment to stop and think, “Hey, life isn’t perfect, but I love this family despite our flaws.”

Maybe over time we can work together and our flaws might lessen or even disappear.

Toledo Free Press is a newspaper. It’s our job to report the news, not create it. But positive things like the “Toledo Loves Love” mural are happening all over Toledo; we just rarely hear about them. The police officer involved in a standoff is more exciting to watch than the one who speaks to first-graders about safety. We get that. But there are plenty of times when a train merely rolling down the track is more majestic, thrilling and idealistic than a train wreck. Those noble trains modestly doing their thing are all over — we just have to find them.

That’s going to be our job in a new monthly series during the next year, as we highlight local citizens and groups doing selfless deeds for our city. Expect to see a series of inspiring stories that celebrate all things good in Toledo. We start on page 21 this week in East Toledo with the efforts of LeSo Gallery.

Toledo Free Press columnist Jeremy Baumhower recently coined the term “Toledo Tough.”

Perhaps that says it best, because we all know that love involves some measure of firmness, compassion and action.

We’re already a good family, but so many unsung citizens make it great. Let’s talk about them for a change. O Tom Konecny is associate editor of Toledo Free Press. Contact him at tkonecny@toledofreepress.com.

The Reformatory

To mark the 20th anniversary of the film, Mansfield has coordinated a three-day Labor Day weekend event with scores of activities and location attractions. From autograph sessions with “Shawshank” actors and lectures to tours and film showings, all things “Shawshank” will be celebrated in the town where much of the Best Picture Oscar nominee was filmed.

The weekend (visit the web site www.shawshank20.com for pages of details) is a fete of filmmaking, history, and an odd deference to life and death in equal measure.

The centerpiece of the experience is of course The Ohio State Reformatory, which served as Shawshank State Prison in the film. The formidable and forbidding structure was headed for demolition before writer-director Frank Darabont chose it as the atmospheric star of his film. In subsequent years, a private group purchased and maintains the facility as the centerpiece of a growing tourist attraction.

It would be dramatic but not inaccurate to describe the reformatory as a glimpse of Hell. The stone and steel fortress, which was built 20 years after the Civil War, housed more than 155,000 prisoners in its time until it was closed in 1990. It is a magnificent achievement in architecture, a monu-

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com ment to what men can do with their bare hands, a testament to good intentions and one of most frightening haunted places you will ever visit.

Every faded stone strains to contain a screaming soul; every peeled strip of paint represents a wasted life; every sweating steel bar retains the battered psychic energy of desperate, unnaturally caged human spirits.

The reformatory offers a fascinating tour, winding through the Victorian Gothic, Richardsonian Romanesque and Queen Anne designs, past offices, living areas and the cells, which serve as the most effective crime deterrent I can imagine. I have no sympathy for thieves, rapists and murderers, but the cramped two-to-acell conditions and the stark design of the holding pens combine to smother any inkling of hope or redemption.

There are 14 film sites along The Shawshank Trail (www.shawshank trail.com) — a path that includes the Shawshank Oak Tree, Malabar Farm, the Road to Buxton and the Haunted Bissman Building, where F.W. Simon was reportedly decapitated in an elevator accident as he was waving goodbye to co-workers on what was supposed to be his last day at work — and as it turned out, it was.

Ben Bissman’s family has owned the building for more than a century.

An affable man with the gravity of a historian and the twinkling eyes of a

showman, Bissman tells of shadows, noises, communicating spirits and enough apparitions to keep Peter Venkman busy for a month. The Bissman Building served as the Brewer Hotel, where ex-con Brooks hangs himself, and as the Portland Daily Bugle editor’s office. Bissman and his family were extras in the movie, but his movie set stories take a back seat to his literally haunting tales.

Mansfield is building a cottage industry around its connection to “The Shawshank Redemption,” but its downtown has plenty to offer a family looking to visit for a day. The Historic Carrousel District offers the namesake ride and scores of restaurants, merchants, museums and children’s activities.

Of course, even in the heart of downtown, Shawshank makes its presence known. The Squirrel’s Den sells Shawshank candy bars and has a number of movie scenes carved from chocolate; Ed Pickens’ Café offers a roast beef wrap called a “Shawshankwich” (Brooks’ roast beef, Red’s onion, Andy’s aioli sauce, lettuce, on a Warden’s wrap); there is Redemption Pizza, Shawshank Sundaes and Prison Break Old Fashioned Sodas.

It is fair to say most everyone is in on the theme.

Many still insist that we need more regulation. It would be much more cost-effective to build a stateof-the-art water treatment facility and move the intake pipe farther out in the lake. It is the one thing that the city can control.

But, for those of you who still strongly believe in the need to regulate more, let me offer a starting point — One Government Center, Suite 2200, Toledo, Ohio, 43604.

THE ARMS FORCES

Battling the stigma of mental health issues I

didn’t plan on writing about suicide and mental health this month, but I saw the death of Robin Williams and how I see his death as a teaching moment about our military and veterans, I decided to change subjects.

Robin was a brilliant comedian, though personal tastes may differ on some of his content and the way his life was lived, it is a strong consensus that he was a genius of comedic improv!

Though I was well aware that he had mental health and substance abuse issues, from what I read now in comments on social media, many people were not aware of the darkness in Robin’s life. The passing of Robin is getting International attention, and understandably so, but many in the veteran community are upset or confused that the 22 veterans a day who commit suicide in our country are not ever given much attention by the media, and most individual’s stories are never told.

I understand their frustration as my passion is to drive down stigma

connected with invisible wounds and that includes mental health issues as well as traumatic brain injury.

But I believe almost any opportunity to create more awareness through conversation in the public about what are referred to as “invisible wounds” is welcomed.

It is difficult to grab the attention of the masses in our society about any subject matter with the overwhelming Pam amount of information thrown out from every direction. And, when the attention does go to a subject, there is another catastrophe or topic that is deemed newsworthy and attention is quickly diverted. I wish that every military member who died from suicide received a headline.

I wish that every military veteran who struggled beyond measure and lost any semblance of hope in their life would be honored for their place

in life, but not glorified in death by suicide as maybe some are doing with Robin Williams.

There is no glory in taking your own life. Suicide is dark. Suicide is empty.

Suicide is never the answer. But, what is the answer? I wrote about the “mask” of invisible wounds and hiding our true selves a few months back. As much as many thought they knew this iconic comeHays dian, he wore a mask that allowed him to portray himself as someone who was not struggling.

He showed glimpses of his true self when he would speak of his drug and alcohol abuse, or the demons, as he put it, that he had inside. But the mask was almost always present in Robin’s life.

The inner world of his pain was hidden from the public that adored the funny guy and maybe the mask

prevented him from taking advantage of all the help available to him.

Living in denial is never healthy.

We all put on our masks in some way on most days, but until you have lived with mental health illness yourself, or loved someone who has, you might not fully comprehend the battles of denying your true self every day.

You might not understand what it is like to watch television and listen to your “unprotected class” of people being ridiculed by the language and situations that our world still finds acceptable. Words like lunatic, looney bin, the crazies, insane asylum, and others that cut into the spirits of those who are trying to live with a disease; one that does not emote the feelings of caring and empathy like breast cancer, heart disease etc.

People struggling with mental health disease don’t have the benefit in our country of “being accepted for who they are”. Sure some do, but I am talking about a broad overview of how

we treat, mistreat, interact with, talk about or portray those with mental health issues. Stigma breeds in society like an out of control virus and is the “connected” disease that stops many from fully removing the mask.

Not all that are homeless have mental health disease. Not all that have mental health disease are homeless. Not all have alcohol or substance abuse problems. But all are our fellow human beings. All of us have the possibility to walk in their shoes; we are not above having mental health issues ourselves.

In a given year, one in four Americans will be challenged with a mental health problem and 1 in 17 will have what is called a serious mental health disorder.

Each of us can do something to combat the stigma that makes the mask a necessity for so many. O Pam Hays is president and founder of The Arms Forces, www.thearmsforces. org; (419) 891-2111.

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Preserving the history of Toledo’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) community is a passion for Toledo native Rick Cornett.

“I love history and that is the driving force behind my mission, to save and preserve Toledo’s gay culture and history — not to mention it is a need that has never been done before,” Cornett said. “I do it as a hobby and a labor of love for the community.”

Cornett hopes to compile enough information and materials to start a Toledo LGBTQ Historical Society and then work off that to create a website and Facebook page.

The 2010 deaths of local gay icons Joe Wicks, founder of the former Caesar’s Show Bar, and Gregory Knott, founder of Bretz, were the impetus behind the project, Cornett said.

“I’ve always saved special things that meant something to me, but I started seriously collecting things in 2010,” he said. “It got me thinking the old guard is slowly slipping away and no one is doing anything to preserve their memory or what they

did for the gay community.”

His collection is comprised of “endless” file folders of items covering topics like religion, gay marriage, sports, bars, businesses, political groups, support groups, charities, obituaries and more. Memorabilia include T-shirts, buttons, ticket stubs, posters and ads, wristbands, business cards and more. He is also interested in collecting oral histories.

“Since I started the archives back in 2010 my collection of items has grown a lot. I’m archiving anything — any and everything from the Toledoarea LGBTQ community,” Cornett said. “I hold the entire Holiday with Heart Charity Gayla archive from the past 37 years of the event. I also house the largest collection of items from the Toledo Pride Festival and Parade since it started five years ago.

“With the recent closing of gay bars OUTSKiRTS, Ripcord and Blush I gained many items of interest such as the signs from the front of Blush and Ripcord. The new owners of Mojo and Legends Showclub have been very supportive of donating items to help preserve our history and culture of the gay bars here. n PROJECT CONTINUES ON 11

“Toledo has had a varied history of publications and I find them most interesting because they hold a wealth of information from the past,” he said.

Sherry Tripepi, executive director of Equality Toledo, said some local groups, including Equality Toledo, have archived their own histories to an extent, but there hasn’t been a collaborative, community-wide effort to organize a history.

Toledo Chamber named national Chamber of Year From Staff Reports

The Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce was named Chamber of the Year at the 100th annual American Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) in Cincinnati on Aug. 13.

Toledo won against fellow finalists Association of Washington Business, Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce and Commerce Lexington Inc to take home the top honor.

Chambers honored with the Chamber of the Year designation have not only demonstrated organizational strength, but also have made an impact on key community priorities, such as education, transportation, business GRAMZA development and quality of life, according to the ACCE’s website.

“We share this honor with our members and the community. All of our staff members are proud to work to support the businesses in this great region,” chamber president Wendy Gramza said in a news release.

“

— Wendy Gramza nation’s only award recognizing the dual role chambers have in leading businesses and communities, according to the release.

“This is an extra special award for us as it highlights the end of Mark V’Soske’s incredible career leading our chamber,” Gramza told Toledo Free Press.

Gramza took over as president from V’Soske earlier this month.

The Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce serves a membership of more than 2,300 businesses.

Catholic Charities 13

A Toledo tradition since 2005

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

In the Book of Matthew, Jesus tells his disciples that whatever is done to “the least of these” — the widow, the orphan, the sick, the hungry, the imprisoned — is done to Him, and Catholic Charities has taken that mission to heart for 100 years.

The nonprofit was founded in 1914, four years after Catholic Diocese of Toledo was formed.

“You cannot separate dealing with God from dealing with God’s people,” Diocesan Administrator Father Charles Ritter said. “From the Old Testament on, the measure of the uprightness of society was how you dealt with the widow, the orphan and the alien. The church has to be involved with those if it’s going to be authentically faithful to the message of Scripture.”

Today, Catholic Charities has expanded its focus to include jail and prison ministry, senior citizen care, disaster relief, crisis navigation, postabortion support and more.

“To try to help change lives is — I don’t know if there can be anything more rewarding,” Catholic Charities Executive Director Rodney Schuster said. “It’s a real blessing for me.”

Catholic Charities has a budget of about $3.7 million, a staff of about 50 and more than 1,000 volunteers per year. It serves about 50,000 people per year, double the number served four years ago.

However, Schuster emphasized it’s the love behind each encounter not the number served that’s important.

“Our mission is we make real the love of God to anyone who comes to us,” Schuster said. “There’s still a perception out there we only serve people who are Catholic. In our ministries, we help anyone in need because we follow the example of Jesus and that’s what he did.”

Helping Hands of St. Louis in East Toledo serves about 300 meals per day and about 8,200 people receive hot meals and groceries each month in Toledo, Norwalk and Mansfield. About 40 people per night receive emergency and long-term shelter in Toledo and 10 per night in Norwalk. About 145 impoverished elderly are provided companionship and legal guardians in Erie, Huron, Ottawa and Richland counties.

Crisis navigator Linda Kraft spends two days a week at Helping Hands of St. Louis and the rest in Catholic Charities’ Downtown Toledo office taking calls.

“She’s just dynamite,” Schuster said.

“She just listens to what’s going on in

their life and helps identify barriers, helps provide a pathway to support services they might not know they could get. And most importantly follows up with them a couple weeks later.

“We just keep walking with them along the way until they get to a point where they are in a good spot,” Schuster said. “That’s really what ministry is.”

The focus is on helping people help themselves, Schuster said. For example, the 125 families on the verge of eviction who utilize the organization’s emergency rent program each has attend a 16-hour financial literacy program in exchange for the help.

“Ninety percent of the families we help stay in their homes because we give them the financial skills to manage their budget,” Schuster said.

Last year, the program was also offered pre-emptively to 50 families who had not yet reached the point of eviction, Schuster said.

Another program is Project Rachel, which offers a 24-hour hotline, counseling services and support to women who have had an abortion. Toledo was only the second diocese in the country to train its priests and counselors through Project Rachel.

“A lot of times people will say the Catholic Church is about rules and they don’t care about women. All you have to do is look at our devotion to Mary,”

Schuster said. “We do care about women because abortion harms women and we’re there to say, ‘We wish you hadn’t, but you did.’ We’re never here saying we’re better than anyone else. We’re all sinners and we all make mistakes.”

Mercy and justice

While “works of mercy” was the focus of Catholic Charities for the first 50 years, the organization has been focusing more and more on “works of justice” as well, Ritter said.

“You feed the hungry and you deal with housing issues and you deal with orphans, but you also look at what are the social issues that end up creating the people in need,” Ritter said.

For the past year and a half, Catholic Charities has been working with Family House, Aurora Project and Bethany House through a strategic alliance partnership grant, exploring ways to reduce overhead cost, avoid duplication and possibly restructure some programs, Schuster said.

“A great example is the water crisis,” Schuster said. “We didn’t need a governmental agency. We were all on the phone that morning making sure everyone had food, water, paper products and whatever was needed so no one was going to be left in a situation where the people we are serving would be suffering. I think that’s beautiful.”

The future

As Catholic Charities moves into the next 100 years, Schuster said his two main hopes are that the organization can be more present across the 19 counties it serves and to attract more volunteers.

“There are many people that sit in churches every weekend wondering how they can help. One of our future roles and goals is to better engage people in volunteering,” Schuster said.

Many former recipients of aid now serve as volunteers or staff members, he said.

“We know that not everybody who comes to us is going to have a successful outcome, the ones that do we celebrate,” Schuster said. “That’s why we do this, one life at a time.”

Ritter said his hope for Catholic Charities is that it continues evolving in order to identify and meet the changing needs of the community.

“I hope they continue to not simply do good works — they do that and they do that well — but to help the broader church be more and more aware of the needs that are out there and get past some of the stereotypes we have about people who are in need,” Ritter said.

“I think we have a great tradition of responding to genuine need when we know it’s there. We don’t always realize that it’s there.”

Anniversary Gala

A 100th Anniversary Gala on Sept.

18 will feature legendary University of Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz.

“His talk is called ‘Game Plan for Success.’ He shares his story and background and things he’s learned,” said Catholic Charities Marketing and Communications Manager Andrea Slivka.

News anchor Jerry Anderson will serve as HOLTZ master of ceremonies for the event, which is set for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 18 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Perrysburg. Tickets are $150.

There will be dinner, complimentary wine, cash bar and a silent auction featuring Notre Dame tickets and sports memorabilia, autographed jerseys from the Detroit Red Wings and Pistons and more.

Catholic Charities has raised $400,000 so far toward its $1 million anniversary year fundraising goal.

“This will be a fun, festive event reflecting on 100 years,” Schuster said. “I hope attendees are inspired by his words to continue helping Catholic Charities as we move into the next 100 years.” O

La Posada shelter aims to help families stabilize

By Danielle Stanton

TOLEDO FREE PRESS NEWS EDITOR dstanton@toledofreepress.com

TOLEDO FREE PRESS PHOTO BY JOSEPH HERR

People arrive on the doorstep of La Posada Family Shelter for a variety of reasons. Those can include a mental health issue, unemployment or simply a stroke of bad luck. Danielle Tedrow of Toledo lost the home she rented when the owner took out a second mortgage and failed to make a payment. The sheriff ’s office threatened to evict her so she moved in with her grandmother.

When that plan fell through, she had no other choice. She took her two young daughters into Catholic Charities’ La Posada house on Feb. 15, 2010. She stayed for two life-changing months.

The name La Posada originated from the Spanish holiday “Las Posadas.” The event is a nine-day celebration that represents the difficulties Joseph and Mary, the parents of Jesus, faced in search of a room when traveling to Bethlehem. Since opening more than two decades ago, La Posada has sheltered more than 2,000 families.

Last year, 62 families found shelter within its walls on Eastern Avenue in South Toledo. The majority of “house guests” are young mothers with three or four children, said Program Coordinator Jeanelle Addie. Fathers with children are also welcome. The families are referred

by United Way of Greater Toledo.

“We understand that the families are in need,” Addie said. “There’s other issues going on ... we do a needs assessment. We figure out what needs they have in the family.”

The shelter offers résumé preparation and GED classes from Lourdes University students, tutoring for children from Toledo Public Schools, financial education, nutrition education, parenting group, Bible study, self-esteem workshops and more.

The goal is not to do it for them but help them help themselves, said Catholic Charities Executive Director Rodney Schuster.

“They are in crisis mode when they come to us [at La Posada],” Schuster said. “The first thing is to provide stability. Let them know they are loved and will be cared for. Kind of let the dust settle. Then a case manager meets with them and finds out in essence how did they end up here, what were the circumstances. And then once we find that out, we help them determine what’s your plan once you’re here, what are some things we can do.

“There a mindset out there sometimes that ‘I don’t need to do anything to help myself.’ Well, yes you do because otherwise you will be going from shelter to shelter to shelter, soup kitchen to soup kitchen. If you’re of sound mind and body, God has greater intentions for you. And we would hope

you would too. We have no idea what you’ve gone through in your life; we’re not in your shoes. But you either can dwell on that and let it keep you underneath water for the rest of your life or you can emerge

I N S P I R AT I O N

and say, ‘Today’s a brand-new day and I’m going to do something’ and we’re going to help them.”

Many families keep their identity secret out of a desire for privacy and/or a sense of shame. Tedrow said she felt

e X P LO R AT I O N

as if she were a failure — that she had let her children down by moving into La Posada house. She felt ashamed.

But as bad as she felt coming in, she was transformed by the experience. n LA POSADA CONTINUES ON 17

Poverty and hunger can seem like insurmountable issues. It’s easy to dismiss them entirely on the notion that there is little one person can do. Thankfully, we have people throughout world history that have taught us to start small.

Locally, we have people like the late Rev. Robert Armstrong, a priest from the former St. Louis Parish in East Toledo who in 1981 started the Helping Hands of St. Louis Outreach Center.

“We’re trying to put a dent in poverty,” said Paul Cook, director. “We try to do the best with what we have.”

Helping Hands is perhaps best known for serving hundreds of meals every day in East Toledo, though it also has a popular food pantry, clothing center and hygiene kit distribution program.

The parish of St. Louis was closed by the diocese in 2005, but its outreach ministry remains alive and well.

Helping Hands has always served the needs of the East Side and beyond, formally becoming part of Catholic Charities in 2011.

“Before Catholic Charities, we did everything ourselves,” Cook said. “Now, they take care of a lot for us, because we only have three and a half staff members, so they handle the budgeting, paperwork and things like that.”

That allows Cook and a whole lot of volunteers — roughly 28 core groups from churches and nonprofits from around Northwest Ohio — to pitch together and serve the needs of

citizens. Neither services nor volunteering opportunities are limited to Catholics, as there are several other religions involved.

Even the grocery distribution can be a collaboration of sorts, working with other pantries in the area when certain supplies are in overabundance. Helping Hands serves around 100 breakfasts and 375 lunches, sometimes many more, every single weekday.

“It just makes us feel like a part of something,” said Debbie Gaster, who with husband Larry, comes from St. Joseph Parish in Sylvania about once a month. “We’ve been very blessed and fortunate, so it’s something small we can do.”

Volunteers seem to spike at the holidays, when Cook noted that “it’s a feel good time,” but the center has a dedicated group of people who assist year round. The help is needed, because Cook says demand is strong and he doesn’t see things getting better.

“Right now no, not until the jobs pick up,” Cook said. “We have some people with felonies, and not until people take a chance on them. Some people simply can’t work because they have some kind of physical or mental illness. About 3-4 percent of our people can’t read or write.”

Cook noted that he has patrons from not only East Toledo, but many from the north, south and west, too. Often he finds they ride a bus, get a ride, or even walk very long distances to take advantage of what Helping Hands offers.

The clothing store is open two days a week, and anyone may to shop for their needs just as they would in a department store. n HELPING CONTINUES ON 17

n HELPING CONTINUED FROM 16 The food pantry operates in similar fashion. Anyone can take advantage of the services, but the hygiene kit distribution is partially grant-funded, so recipients must be from the East Side.

Helping Hands serves about 70,000 on-site meals, distributes 2,400 bags of groceries and 650 hygiene kits every year. While the group relies heavily

A Toledo tradition since 2005

on donations, it also receives federal grants, though those dollar amounts decrease every year.

There are several other outreach centers that offer meals and assistance, but if Helping Hands weren’t around, it makes Cook wonder where everyone would go for help.

“I really don’t know,” Cook said. “I hate to think what would happen.” O

This year marks our 35th year in business, and looking back it’s hard not to think about how the world has changed and how much we’ve adapted, yet stayed the same in so many ways. When a partner and I formed what became Treece Investment Advisory Corp. in 1979, we did so around a single money management strategy. While it wasn’t called by such a fancy name back in those days, what we ran then (and still use today) is now commonly known as a tactical asset allocation model.

This theory of managing money — of allocating capital strategically and focusing investments in particular sectors or asset classes based on a given economic or political outlook — is based on a simple theory that it’s not what investors own that matters; it’s when they own it. For 35 years we’ve been researching the economy and picking sectors that we believe will benefit our clients based on the economic circumstances we see developing. Once we make our selections, we focus investments for ourselves and our clients in those areas, putting ourselves in the same boat as our clients.

Since 1979 — the year we started using this model — we’ve seen a lot of other strategies come and go, but tactical asset allocation has outlived them all. Older methods include portfolio insurance, which met a disastrous end; more recent systems include “Modern Portfolio Theory,” which encourages diversified buy-and-hold strategies. Such a diversified system accepts that some investments will go up and others down, but posits that no one can predict the future, and so it tries to spread money around so investments include some winners and some losers. The hope is that, overall, the whole group will gain value over time.

A lot of people have made significant investments in the past decade based on the strategy of diversification. From what we see going on in the world and what we see coming in the markets, it’s doubtful they’ll like the results 10 or 20 years from now.

Now more than ever before, investors need to assess risks in their portfolio and make tactical shifts away from those sectors and asset classes that are poised for 20 or even 30 years of poor performance.

After declining yields that have forced prices higher, the bond market is nearing levels not seen in any of our lifetimes. Junk bond yields today are as low as historical averages for higher grade corporate debt.

Investors need to be studying these prices in the context of history, and thinking very seriously about the long-term outlook for fixed-income products — the area representing perhaps the largest risk to investors today. The market knows very well these prices can’t hold, with rates being kept artificially low through bond purchase programs at the Federal Reserve.

Recent improvements in labor markets also haven’t gone unnoticed by Janet Yellen’s Fed. In recent Congressional testimony, the new Fed chair has hinted that the Fed is considering raising shortterm rates if the job market continues to improve.

Unfortunately, this is precisely the wrong thing to do. Instead, the Fed should be selling all or part of their portfolio of long-term U.S. Treasury bonds, further steepening the yield curve. Such steepening has preceded nearly every major U.S. economic expansion in the last century, and could well shift the U.S. economy into high gear. You can read more in Dock David’s recent article, “Yellen Hints at Detrimental Fed Action,” on our website.

Tactical asset allocation has been at the core of what we do for 35 years now, and it’s served us and our clients very well during that time. A tactical strategy — be it ours or one like it — should be used for at least a part of any portfolio. If you want to hear more about what tactical asset allocation is, how it works, the benefits it offers or how we use it, we encourage you to come in and talk to us. You can decide for yourself whether you should use such a strategy for all or part of your own portfolio.

Catholic Charities 17 n LA POSADA CONTINUED FROM 14 Tedrow said she would have been sleeping under a bridge that night. Instead, she arrived at La Posada house with her two daughters, ages 4 and 6. She was separated from her husband and was “on her own.”

At the time, she said she worked from job to job, her selfesteem “not worth a few hours at a Walmart.” She described herself as a “doormat,” someone who didn’t stand up for herself, who didn’t have her own voice.

La Posada house changed all that. She locked herself in her room for the first 37 days, wanting to isolate, not realizing that the staff was there to help. But she eventually came out of “hiding” and participated in workshops and talks with Addie and others.

“You almost feel like you failed

as a parent, that you don’t have that stability to give. It is rewarding in the end,” Tedrow said. “I’ll never forget the people I met at La Posada.”

On April 17, 2010, Tedrow and her two daughters moved out of La Posada and today live in a four-bedroom home in Ottawa Hills. Tedrow is now a state tested nursing assistant (STNA) working in hospice.

Four years after her experience, she still communicates with Addie and has been serving on the advisory board for La Posada.

“I feel strongly in what they do and how they support the community,” Tedrow said. “Six months after I left, Jeanelle offered me the position, so it’s been a couple of years now ... You can make it when you get out of here.”

Huntington Bank was recently named the No. 1 Small Business Adminstration (SBA) lender in the country by helping thousands of small businesses expand and create jobs.

Huntington led the nation in terms of number of 7(a) loans and volume based on third quarter rankings for fiscal year 2014. The Columbus-based bank moved up from its previous position as the third largest SBA lender in the nation in 2013.

During the first three quarters of SBA’s fiscal year 2014, which ended June 30, Huntington Bank wrote 1,705 SBA loans in Ohio alone, totaling $199,345,900. The top national ranking is noteworthy because the bank is ranked 33rd in the country in terms of assets and only makes SBA loans within its six-state footprint.

Huntington Bank made more than half of all SBA 7(a) loans in its footprint for the first six months of the fiscal year.

It made 1,804 loans while the remainder of the industry made 1,758 loans in Huntington’s service area during the

period from Oct. 1 to March 31.

“Huntington is committed to supporting small business growth as a key way to strengthen our communities as they continue through the economic recovery,” said Steve Steinour, chairman, president and CEO of Huntington Bank in the announcement of its SBA rankings.

“Small businesses are the foundation of our Main Street economies throughout the United States. These businesses generate two thirds of all new jobs and help keep our neighborhoods healthy,” Steinour said.

“Huntington is very big in the small business market. We focus on small business and have a great reputation in that arena,” said Ken Connell, executive vice president and business banking sales director.

“We listen to what companies need for expanding their business. If SBA is the best solution for them, we have the expertise in SBA lending. We help companies expand their business and create more jobs,” Connell said.

Based in Toledo, Connell is responsible for 16 managers and markets in six states, including Northwest Ohio and part of southeast Michigan.

The original owner of PizzaPapalis in Toledo, JJSV Enterprises, obtained SBA financing through Huntington Bank to open that chain’s first restaurant in Ohio in 2009. The store located adjacent to Fifth Third Field in Downtown Toledo remains the only one in Ohio to date.

“With SBA, you get longer terms and lower interest rates for reduced principal which allows small business owners to have more capital that is critical in the restaurant business,” said Joe Sheena, of Sheena Management, which now owns and operates the PizzaPapalis chain based in the Detroit suburb of Troy.

Sheena said they opened the first Pizza Papalis store in Greektown in 1986. The success of the chain allowed them to open a new concept called NeoPapalis in downtown Ann Arbor in 2012 without SBA financing, he said.

Patrons can create their own pizza with fresh ingredients and watch it made and slid into the oven at Neopapalis which also serves a selection of sandwiches and salads made fresh to order.

Sheena explained that they plan to

offer franchise opportunities with the NeoPapalis concept that is very popular on the West Coast. He said they would encourage franchisees to consider using SBA financing to get their business started. he husband and wife team of Jake and Emily Dunfee, who owned the Rescue Marine and Repair, wanted

to purchase another established business. However, their bank at the time told them that they couldn’t help them with it, she said.

Emily said they knew Lee Vivod, a business banking rep from Huntington’s office in Port Clinton, from living in the community. n SBA CONTINUES ON 20

Securing financing

A year later, the couple decided they wanted to open a restaurant in the community. By that time, they were doing all their business banking with Huntington. Once again, the bank helped them secure SBA financing to establish the Hidden Beach Bar (and restaurant) in Marblehead.

Most recently, the Dunfees got an additional SBA loan to refinance and expand their original marine rescue and repair business. They have a total of about 20 employees at the three businesses.

Emily said they told the local bankers at Huntington that “you really do make dreams come true.”

Ohio actually led Huntington’s combined mid-year ranking for number of 7(a) loans and dollar volumes with 1,050 loans totaling $118,900,300, followed by Michigan with 472 loans totaling $66,091,700, Indiana with 116 loans totaling $23,695,500, western Pennsylvania with 90 loans totaling $10,632,400, and West Virginia with 37 loans totaling $7,635,400.

Locally, more than $70.94 million in SBA loans were written for small businesses in the 5th and 9th U.S. Congressional districts in Northwest Ohio, based on total loans approved as of Aug. 1. These figures were provided by the SBA’s Great Lakes Regional Office in Detroit.

In Congressman Robert Latta’s 5th district, a total of 167 SBA loans were written for a total of $36,839,200. It included nine 504 loans for $4,224,000 and 158 7(a) loans for $32,615,200.

In Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur’s 9th district, a total of 180 SBA loans were written for a total of $34,104,700. It included five 504 loans for $1,549,000 and 175 7(a) loans for $32,555,700.

Other lenders

However, Huntington is not the only local bank active in the SBA lending market.

Two other Ohio-based banks that operate in the NW Ohio region were active in Ohio’s SBA lending market during the first three quarters of fiscal 2014. KeyBank made 64 loans totaling $21,571,500, while Fifth Third Bank made 34 loans totaling $20,987,700, according to the SBA. Waterford Bank NA based in Sylvania provided SBA solutions for American Manufacturing Inc. of Toledo. It allowed that firm to increase its business and employment. The company once had 125 employees but was reduced to a skeleton crew due to the recent recession.

American began receiving orders from Chrysler, Ford, General Motors

LATTA and other manufacturers. The firm specializes in high volume production of steel shipping containers for those automakers and their suppliers.

Chuck Gotberg, owner of American Manufacturing, went to Water-

ford Bank looking for a new source for commercial banking. He said they needed working capital to keep the business going to meet the new demand from the auto industry.

“Waterford was able to offer us more money and lower rates with the SBA options. We have a beautiful relationship with Waterford for all our business banking,” Gotberg said.

With the help of SBA financing through Waterford Bank, American once again has 125 employees at its Page 37 300,000-square foot manufacturing facility in Toledo, formerly operated

by Surface Combustion. Gotberg said they are still looking for more qualified workers to meet their increasing business.

Waterford Bank opened in August of 2007 and now has offices on McCord Road in Sylvania, in Bryan and Perrysburg. The bank reported total assets of $449.9 million, deposits of $400 million of loans of $332 million in December of 2013. O

Help through art LeSo helping East Toledo fight blight.

By Tom Konecny Toledo Free Press ASSOCIATE EDITOR tkonecny@toledofreepress.com

The winds of change are blowing through East Toledo, with newcomer LeSo Art Gallery providing a strong, fresh breeze.

Having been open for barely two years, LeSo has not only helped revitalize a neighborhood’s love of art, but has inspired others to work together — city officials, artists, musicians, businesses, and more — to kick-start efforts designed at making the East Side, Toledo’s new cool spot.

“We have done 20 shows in two years, which is roughly one a month,” said Brad Scherzer, LeSo’s assistant

director. “We already have a reputation for being one of the more active galleries in Toledo.”

LeSo makes its home in a 111-year-old fully restored building on Starr Avenue with a rich history.

Its owners — Amber LeFever and Adam Soboleski, whose last names combine to give LeSo its name, and also live upstairs — commissioned Toledo native and artist Matt Taylor to paint its east exterior wall with a bold, intricate mural that instantly achieved local iconic status.

“We kind of landed in East Toledo by chance, but we consider ourselves extremely lucky,” said LeFever, who lives above the gallery with Soboleski. “Everyone in the

neighborhood is so giving and accepting and loving. The East Toledo community is everything to us.”

LeSo deals mostly with emerging artists, and those who do not necessarily have a national reputation. The gallery has also worked with the college ranks, inviting graduate level students and professors to display their work. Their shows vary, but the pair believes in nontraditional, shorter, month-long runs to keep the displays ever-changing and original.

Their East Toledo neighborhood has embraced their work and mission, but the people behind LeSo realize it’s just as much about what goes on outside their walls as inside.

“I grew up in Waterville, and

understood that East Toledo was singled out as a place that’s more rough,” Scherzer said. “It was perceived as not being in a safe area. Adam and Amber found this building on their own, and they’re not from the area.

“They looked for a building they could afford, and made it happen. It wasn’t necessarily a choice made on a specific area; it was based on their need. We’ve been really working to change that, and a lot of people now identify on Main Street as a positive influence in the arts community.”

A learning center is also part of the gallery’s mission, where classes for youth and adults take place.

Their goal is simply to get people en-

gaged with the arts as they’re looking at art. Both LeFever and Scherzer are art school teachers by day, so their work comes naturally.

LeSo is consistently listed as one of the signs of East Toledo’s rebirth.

Their association with other partners in the East Toledo Creative Corridor has spawned a new free arts and music festival, titled “The Main Even,” planned for Sept. 13.

“East Toledo is a live music hub for Toledo,” Scherzer said. “It’s probably the most consistent live music in the area. So, we’re basically trying to tap into what’s already there and announce it a little more grander.”

22 Star Its combination of music and arts may remind visitors of Bowling Green’s successful Black Swamp Arts Festival, which is no coincidence given the BGSU diplomas belonging to all of LeSo’s staff.

“It’s a lot like the Black Swamp.

We want to keep the class of the art up and have a refined gallery experience,” Scherzer said. “We want to engage people with an open concert and really access the East Toledo area. It’s not what people necessarily have in their minds when they think of East Toledo. It’s a lot more walkable and accessible. It’s a good community.”

LeSo also generated an outreach project where 18 trash cans, eight benches and eight planters along Main Street were repainted by local artists. A total of 18 public murals are also being completed, some by local 8th grade students, which will be used on boarded up windows of buildings. The entire project is through a partnership with the East Toledo Family Center, East Toledo Club, local business owners and Owens-Illinois employee volunteers.

LeSo also received strong support from City Councilman Mike Craig.

“Last year I went to conference in Columbus and attended seminars on neighborhood economic devel-

opment,” Craig said. “They were talking about a guy from Canton, and how he used art and music to revitalize downtown Canton.

So I came back all excited and wanted to talk to LeSo. They were all enthusiastic. We sat down and started talking about how to change the business climate, how to revitalize Main Street.”

Craig has been especially impressed how LeSo’s staff has had an immediate regard for their neighborhood despite no direct ties to the east side.

“They’re not the ones going around, ‘how can you help us do this?,’ Craig said. “They’re really self-sufficient.

They just figure out what we need to do to get it done. They just care. They want where they’re living to be a nice place, and they’re willing to put in the hard work to make it that way. That’s why I was drawn to what they were doing, and I think everybody’s excited.”

Craig isn’t the only one who is excited. Both businesses and residents have also been quick to recognize the positive work LeSo offers besides just art.

“We receive positive feedback constantly,” Scherzer said. “The neighbors have been extremely supportive, and help us out however they can. A lot of people recognize who we are and identify it as a positive business in the area.”

So far, plans seem to be coming to fruition with a spruced up Main Street, a supportive business community and

an arts and music festival all at once.

Craig believes these signs, combined with citizens who want to see their neighborhood flourish, mean that East Toledo is gaining momentum.

“We want it to be a nice place for people to come, spend some time, spend some money, and I hope when other people see them spending their time there that they’ll look to open businesses there and keep it that way,” Craig said. “If you get enough of those types of businesses there, you’ll get more restaurants, more entertainment venues, and they may be active every night instead of just the weekend.”

For now, all the success may be due to the fact that LeSo is approaching it by putting others and its community first.

“We’re just doing it to do it,” Scherzer said. “We’re not necessarily in it for the profit. We’re in it for the community, to help other artists.

We’re creating a solid area of art for the public, and to try and raise the profile.

The gallery itself is a labor of love. We all pitch in our money and our time.”

“We want to do it, we’re passionate about it,” LeFever said.

LeSo Art Gallery is located at 1527 Starr Avenue in East Toledo, and is open Saturday and Sundays from noon-4 p.m. during show exhibitions. More information is available at lesogallery. com. Information on The Main Event can be found at easttoledocc.com. O

A Toledo tradition since 2005

German-American Festival marks 49th year

By Jeff McGinnis

Toledo Free Press Pop Culture Editor PopGoesJeff@gmail.com

For all the events that take place at the German-American Festival — the annual celebration of all things Deutschland taking place this year at Oak Shade Grove in Oregon, Aug. 22 -24 — what brings the most joy out of the average attendee is the food. Sigh.

Yes, the food.

Just ask Tim Pecsenye, the festival chairman. He’s been involved with the event since 1976 in one capacity or another. Even when he moved to New Jersey for a while, he stayed involved.

Inquired as to what foods will be available at the event for this, the festival’s 49th year, he rattled almost ten items without even thinking, with a longing tone in his voice. Potato pancakes.

Sausage. Barbeque chicken. Swiss sandwiches. Baked goods. All made fresh, thank you very much.

“One thing is that our committee, for our festival, does not have food vendors,” Pecsenye said. “Every food operation that we have — and I mean funnel cakes, schnitzel sandwiches, all of those kinds of things — every one of those is prepared by our folks. We don’t have food vendors come in, we don’t

have the trucks come in or anything like that, like most of the festivals do.

“And our people conceive of it, run it, do the ordering of products. Basically, we run everything.”

It takes a great deal of dedication to keep a celebration like the GAF running for nearly half a century. Over 3,000 volunteers help make the festival a reality each year. It’s a process that continues virtually year round, Pecsenye said.

“We start looking at it even while the Festival is going on, of what changes we can make for next year, what needs to be made better, what needs to service the people better. And so that’s an important part of the Festival. We have Committee meetings just about every month.

“We have a very hard-working committee,” he added. “A quarter or a third of the population in this area refers to themselves as either German or Swiss heritage, when it comes time for census. ... People like our entertainment, they like our music. They love our food. And we work very hard to make sure it’s a

quality event. And then, you add in a certain liquid adult beverage …”

Well yes, the presence of such a beautiful hops-and-barley concoction certainly helps enliven the festivities.

But the music which will fill the air throughout the weekend will be doing its part as well, with performances from favorites like the Brother’s Grimm, the Jay Fox Band, the Austrian Express, the Polish American Concert Band and more providing the merriment its soundtrack. This year’s featured performers are the Alex Meixner Band out of Palm City, Florida.

Working to keep everything running smoothly for the thousands of attendees who will pack Oak Shade Grove, Pecsenye won’t have much time to enjoy the music himself, however, or much of anything else — which he claimed is fine by him. “I’m sort of an event planner type of a person. I sort of enjoy seeing what happens with events like this, and how it works. Even if I go to someone else’s event, I’m looking at the back room stuff rather than just enjoying it.” O

Pianists Liz Story and Lisa Downing had a lot to say about the pressing nature of their instrument.

“If you’re studying harmony at a conservatory, you always study it at a piano or a keyboard because there it is: It’s visually set out, the relationship of this information,” Story said.

“The geometry is there, it’s black and white, nothing in between,” Downing chimed in.

“It really is the piano, not the electric keyboard. A friend of mine put it this way and it always makes me laugh because there’s a real physical sensation that really isn’t there with the keyboard, and as my friend put it, ‘The difference between when you’re playing a keyboard instead of a piano is like trying to have tantric sex with a plastic doll,’ ” Story said and laughed.

“There’s a real sensation and that’s what I really love about the piano, is that very sensual quality of playing it.”

Downing said her first encounter with the keys when her family visited friends and she was about 18 months old.

“I reached up over my head and moved my fingers down and there was sound coming out, and oh, my God,” she said during a call from her Colorado home. “I remember my parents taking me out of there, turning out the lights. And I’m thinking: There’s a magic thing in there that when you

Story’s career blossomed when she decided to play at a restaurant to improve her sight-reading.

“I got all this music together, and I get to this restaurant, it was a very dark restaurant, and the piano they had was this old upright, and the entire front casing of the piano was missing, which basically means there is absolutely nowhere to put music,” Story said during a call from her Los Angeles home.

A Toledo tradition since 2005 n STORY CONTINUED FROM 24 Downing drew inspiration from Keith Jarrett and George Winston, then heard Story.

“When I heard Liz’s music, it’s like that’s the music I hear in my head. She’s a woman and if she can do it, I can, too,” Downing said. “I found her on Myspace and called her.”

The two struck up a friendship about seven years ago and started touring together.

Story and Downing will play at 8 p.m. Aug. 27 at the Ark in Ann Arbor. Tickets are $25. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

“Night Sky Essays” from 2011 is Story’s most recent release. She is re-recording some of her material.

Downing’s latest, “A Delicate Balance,” came out in 2009. Her next disc, “The Wisdom of My Shadow,” is expected next year. “[The new disc] has sort of a dark fantasy kind of flavor in the mood of maybe the ‘Twilight’ trilogy. So there are some vampires and dragons and that kind of stuff going on with my music lately, Downing said.” O

August 24 – 30, 2014 Events: New Moon in Virgo (25th)

By Elizabeth Hazel Aries (March 21-April 19)

Libra (September 23-October 22)

The week starts with challenging smack-downs. Quick analysis and negotiating skills are crucial, as you’ll have to think on your feet. Steady, applied effort helps turn situations in a better direction. After Thursday, review the big picture with reliable, level-headed friends.

Friends are capable of stirring up major disputes as the week begins. Complaints and problems can catch you off guard. Stand back and think before reacting; make sure you have all the facts. Discussions on Thursday supply the missing bits that help you make wise choices.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Other people’s actions compel you to act quickly and decisively. Your choices may be challenged. Work toward compromise and show appreciation for assistance.

Concentrate on the here and now. Rely on supportive friends and family to stabilize emotions after Thursday.

Major tasks dominate the week and are compounded by untimely personal issues. You will have to do damage control at top speed while juggling personalities. Avoid excessive ruthlessness, as others won’t forgive and forget if you exceed behavioral boundaries.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Critical incidents on Monday determine the focus of your week. Sort fact from fiction when coping with family and domestic issues. Troubled waters smooth out after Wednesday. Invitations for future events arrive. Manage your time, money, and assets carefully.

Creativity is a blessing and a burden. Deadlines and family trials push the limits of endurance. Thwarted efforts can arouse fury. Take ten and re-assess. After Wednesday, absorb gains and losses with equanimity. Focus on longterm prospects to curb unruly emotions.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Big projects and construction pose inconveniences and make a lot of noise. Things are destroyed so they can be remade. Not everyone agrees with the process or the goal.

Communicate with people in distant places about ongoing situations and future events.

Your environment is torn with upheaval from physical and financial changes. Unexpected complications can throw plans into chaos. Rely on others to help straighten out problems — delegate, delegate, delegate! Offset the week’s strains with happy weekend activities.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

The week begins with bombardment, as a number of different issues culminate. Stick to your top priorities and avoid getting entangled in arguments about fussy details.

Things settle down after Wednesday. Connecting with friends over the weekend soothes your soul.

Big reality checks arrive. It’s a new world; the requirements and demands center on providing what you said you wanted. Resistance is mostly futile, so buck up, get busy, and cooperate. Others aren’t asking for the moon. Fulfill requests that are necessities for progress.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Official requirements demand immediate action. Other people may not have what’s needed to fulfill deadlines.

Although it’s a scramble, you can accomplish goals by midweek. Friends will help if asked. After Friday, everyone benefits if you choose a good attitude.

Official entanglements complicate the work place and personal efforts. Obtain the best possible sources of necessary information and get expert help. Knowledge is the best weapon. Most hurdles will be cleared by Thursday.

Friends help put worries in perspective.

CARLSON’S CRITTERS

A home for Seamus

Seamus is a big furry teddy bear ready to be loved again! He unfortunately came to the shelter because his owner passed away.

At 7 years old, life is very different for him to not be with his owner anymore. He is, however, still a joyful and happy guy looking for a new home where he can share all of his love again. He may be older, but he can definitely still enjoy a more active lifestyle. It’s the best of both worlds — he’s energetic and playful, yet he has way better manners than a puppy! Seamus is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations and is microchipped.

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

Adoption hours are noon to 7 p.m.

5. An estimate of the number of persons to be served.

6. Applicants must receive at least 25% of their funding from other sources.

Application forms are available in the office of the Board of County Commissioners, One Government Center, Suite 800, Toledo, Ohio 43604-2259. The forms may be picked up during business hours, 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.
