Presenting the TEDxToledo: reIMAGINE ‘scholarship’

I

n my experience, people who know what TED is can’t get enough of it. People who don’t wonder how it slipped by them for all this time after their first taste of an 18-minute talk.

TED is about ideas worth spreading. The conferences consist of daylong, sometimes weeklong events where any number of speakers present on the spectrum of Technology, Entertainment and Design.

The larger TED conferences traditionally happen in California (though they’re moving it to Canada for next year), and in Edinburgh, Scotland. TEDx is the more accessible version of these conferences organized under license from TED by a local dweller who wants to share a comWill pelling idea, showcase talent, and change a community. For Toledo, that do-gooder is myself.

I’m incredibly honored to present TEDxToledo to this community again for the second year.

While last year’s theme was based on the historic Toledo adage “You Will Do Better,” this year’s theme is “re IMAGINE.” Last year’s TEDxToledo was a sold-out event presented at Health Care REIT. It gave a much-needed injection of hope about our community to many who attended. Honestly, before the event I was a bit weary of defending Toledo and its promise, but I left refreshed and excited about what we had and continue to have to offer the world.

I saw a 10-year-old software application developer by the name of Jonathan Buchanan who’s from here. He is the youngest person in the world to have a smartphone app available in the App Store that he programmed totally on his own.

I listened to a talk given by Simon Guo, who is from the other side of the planet but now lives here.

He came all the way from China to show us what sometimes even we ourselves struggle to see, our own beauty. He shared what I believe was an old Chinese proverb that I won’t soon forget: “When you’re on the mountain, it’s hard to appreciate its beauty.

Sometimes it’s only those who aren’t on the mountain

that recognize its magnificence.”

Say that twice please, Simon.

I remember Jelani Exum, who graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University and Harvard Law School, and is now is a distinguished law professor at the University of Toledo. She eloquently made the case for us to rethink juvenile justice.

I’m still amazed at how the energy of our inaugural event, almost an entire year ago, still reverberates. People still tell me about how it’s helped them see Toledo anew.

I was born and raised in Toledo, and you, my neighbors, constantly amaze me.

Victoria Kamm, a social media entrepreneur I’ve yet to meet, sent me a mesLUCAS sage via Facebook stating that while she couldn’t make this year’s event because of a prior commitment, she wanted someone who couldn’t otherwise go to have the opportunity to experience it.

I thanked her for her kindness and suggested that maybe we could do it as a scholarship in her name.

She said, “In that case, let’s do it for two people,” on her dime.

In conjunction with Toledo Free Press, I’m happy to announce the TEDxToledo: reIMAGINE scholarship presented by Kamm. With this scholarship, you’ll enjoy a day at TEDxToledo, an event where Toledo’s leading thinkers and doers gather — many describe it as the highlight of their year. This year’s event is 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 19 at One SeaGate Auditorium in Downtown.

It’s “the ultimate brain spa.”

To qualify, send an email with the subject line “TEDx” to Toledo Free Press at letters@ toledofreepress.com telling us how you imagine Toledo “re-imagined.” We’ll select two winners. Deadline to submit your letter is Sept. 6.

Can’t wait to meet you at TEDxToledo: reIMAGINE. Tickets are on sale now at TEDxToledo.com. O Will Lucas is founder and CEO of Creadio, president at AWLCo, a music producer and former radio DJ.

It was exhilarating, cleansing and energizing and at some point without realizing it, I began laughing and whooping as I ran, water splashing under my shoes and pounding on me from above. It lasted about 10 minutes; I walked the last mile home, hitching breaths and squishing in my shoes.

It felt like a turning point and while only time can confirm that, since the baptism by rain I am even more happy when I am outside, whether it is in my Tecumseh neighborhoods or in Downtown Toledo dodging cars and playing Frogger at intersections.

One of my most pleasant walking atmospheres is Wildwood Metropark.

I love the trails and trees there. As summer melts into fall and cold winter weather looms on the horizon, I am excited about an annual program the Metroparks of Toledo Area offer — and I hope you will join me.

Autumn Adventure, Metroparks’ fall walking program, encompasses some of the best color Northwest Ohio trees have to offer. You can obtain a Walking Record in any of the Metroparks; walk the trails and keep track of your progress on your own or join a guided hike with a Metroparks naturalist.

According to its promotional materials, “Metroparks has identified some colorful trails. Walk eight of those trails and document them in your trail record to complete the program.

“The first 50 people to finish eight trails and turn in their Trail Record at the Wildwood Metz Visitors Center will receive their Autumn Adventure T-shirt free. Additional shirts will be available to eligible participants that complete the program for $14. T-shirt quantities and sizes are limited.”

Scheduled walks are free. Make reservations at MetroparksPrograms. com or by calling (419) 407-9701. The paths include: O Side Cut — Fallen Timbers Trail (red), 4.1 miles O Farnsworth — Towpath, Roche de Bout Shelter to trailhead (brown), 2.2 miles

PEDIATRICS

Back to School Vaccinations Cindy EdwardsTuttle, EMBA, MSN, FNP-BC Internal Medicine / Pediatrics

Heading back to school means a lot of preparation, including vaccinations for your child. Here are four tips to help you ace this back-to-school assignment.

Schedule early. It’s a busy time for you and your healthcare provider, so call for an appointment 2-4 weeks ahead of time. A physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant may provide the physical and vaccinations, so consider all your options when scheduling.

Prepare your child. Talk with your child about what will happen when they receive the vaccination and why it’s important. Show them that it’s a positive, not scary event, and part of the excitement of a new school year.

Know the facts. There is no scientific evidence that links vaccinations with autism. If you have concerns about this or other risks of vaccinations, talk with your provider. Children may be exempt from vaccinations for religion or cultural reasons when properly documented.

Watch for potential reactions.

Because medications may affect the benefits of the vaccination, talk with your provider about possible reactions and treatments. Over-the-counter medications may help if the site of the shot is red, swollen or hot to the touch. Call your provider if your child has a rash or difficulty breathing.

Need to schedule your child’s back-to-school vaccination?

Contact your ProMedica Physician or call 800-PPG-DOCS for a referral.

GUEST COLUMN

What parents (and everyone) should know about teenage drinking

By Dr. Brian and Cindy Hoeflinger Special to Toledo Free Press

O

ur son Brian N. Hoeflinger died in a tragic car accident Feb. 2 at the young age of 18.

He was a senior in high school, an accomplished golfer, carried a 4.5 GPA and had his whole life ahead of him.

On the night he died, Brian was at an unsupervised party with friends drinking vodka and drove intoxicated. He struck a tree and was killed instantly. No one else was in the car.

I wrote this letter on May 2, three months after his death, on a beautiful spring day, a time of new life with trees blossoming and grasses turning green. I watched my children in the yard. Kevin was cleaning an old rowboat with the powerwasher. Julie was playing spikeball with a half-dozen friends.

As I watched the kids in the yard playing and having fun, I could feel Brian’s absence. I could sense life all around me, but not his. I still get the feeling that Brian should be here with us; that his death must be a mistake or a dream.

But no matter how hard I wish it, I know Brian is gone from this world and from our physical lives forever. I sat in his room yesterday and cried looking at pictures from when he was a little boy.

Where does that innocence go? Why as we get older do we lose the ability to have fun as we did as children?

I picked up Julie, my 14-year-old daughter, from a friend’s house the other night. She and about 10 other girls and boys were singing together around a kitchen island after making chocolate chip cookies together. They were all standing there having so much fun singing, laughing and smiling. But soon that innocence will fade and she and her friends will be tempted to drink alcohol. Why does drinking seem to be substituted for the simple pleasures we enjoyed as children? As I watched the fun they were having together, it made me think of Brian and his friends when they were little and how much innocent fun they would have together.

Why does it change?

www.promedica.org/doctors

Opinion

A Toledo tradition since 2005

I think the answer is in the way society views alcohol. It almost seems like an acceptable rite of passage as we become young adults to drink alcohol. Many parents expect a certain degree of “innocent and harm-

Brian Hoeflinger less” drinking to occur. We did it as teenagers, so why shouldn’t they?

What can happen after having only a drink or two, right? But what about binge drinking, which is what most teenagers are doing? Is that OK? Was Brian’s life worth the little bit of “harmless” fun he was having with his friends that night? Brian was growing up but still somewhat of a child inside. He was not a seasoned drinker and did not yet know the full dangers of alcohol and binge drinking. He did what statistics suggest many in our society do, which is to start drinking alcohol in high school. Remember, statistics show that nearly 75-80 percent of all students have drunk alcohol by the end of high school and 62 percent of all seniors have been drunk.

Most parents would deny that they condone their kids’ drinking but how many of them really ever try to stop or change it from happening? Statistics show that one in five teens binge drink. 1 in 100 parents believes his or her teen binge drinks. Would their kids live without drinking? Yes! But

there would be social consequences for them. They may become less popular and may not be invited to social events involving the “in crowd” and drinking. I think for this reason many parents choose to ignore and thus indirectly condone this behavior. We all want our children to be popular and have friends. We hurt inside when our children are hurting. Thus, many parents tolerate the fact that their children drink so their kids can be popular and accepted by the “in crowd.” Many parents host parties and knowingly or “unknowingly” allow the kids to drink alcohol, seeing no potential harm in it.

Saying no

I’m sure there are many parents who are against drinking and have actively discouraged their children from drinking. These parents are to be commended for their efforts. But children will only listen to their parents so much. I truly think the kids have to change things from within themselves as a group. If the older classmates in school who drink would take a leader-

ship role and make it cool not to drink, then drinking among the younger classmates would soon stop.

But this would only this work if the older kids make a stand, set an example and stop drinking.

Parents should discuss this aspect of drinking with our older kids and make them realize that they are influencing the younger kids to drink.

We need to encourage our children to be leaders and set a good example for others to stop drinking. I know of a ninth-grader who was asked to drink vodka by two 10-graders who got the vodka from a senior party. It is hard to say no to an upper classmate who is offering you a drink of alcohol. What if you said no? Then the rumors would start at school that you were afraid to try the vodka. It is so much easier to drink the vodka, get the recognition and ultimately the positive reinforcement of looking cool. If drinking alcohol was not cool, then this scenerio would play out much differently. In the case of this ninth-grader, he drank the vodka, got drunk and was caught by his parents.

This is where I think parents can and should get involved and talk to their children. Talk to them about peer pressure and how to handle it.

Arm your children with legitimate excuses for that moment when they are asked to drink.

“My parents smell my breath and make me take a breathalyzer test when I get home,” would be a great way to get out of drinking. “A close friend of mine died from drinking and I don’t drink because of it,” would work as well. “I have a curfew of 11 p.m. and my parents wait up for me” would also work. Or just stand your ground and say, “I’m having a good time without getting drunk!”

Teach your kids legitimate ways to say no to alcohol in front of their friends. But most importantly, set limits and boundaries for them and let your children know that you do not approve of them drinking alcohol before the age of 21! I expect that many parents reading this letter may think that I am meddling in their personal family affairs. Just because my son died doesn’t give me the right to try and change the way others think.

I may have felt that same way before Brian died three months ago. n DRINKING CONTINUES ON 6

Opinion

n DRINKING CONTINUED FROM 5 Going through the death of a child changes your perspective on life. I realize that it can happen to anyone and could easily happen to one of our remaining three children, Kevin, Julie or Christie. For that reason, my wife and I are going to change things if we can, if for no other reason than to protect our remaining three children from the harm of alcohol and binge drinking. I know some people will be on board with this philosophy and others will not, unless it unfortunately happens to them. Then it will all become only too real but only after it is too late to change things. I’ve been through it and I only wish someone would have talked to me and tried to open my eyes to this underground network of teenage drinking before it was too late.

Gone forever

August 25, 2013

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com

Take a true moment and really try to imagine for one instant that one of your children was never to return home and would be gone from your life forever, with no chance to say goodbye or ever speak to or see them again. Force yourself to imagine it. If you really try to put yourself in that position for just a moment and try to feel what it would be like if your child were dead, that horrible feeling of reality without your son or daughter in your future, that feeling alone should

be enough for you to want to stop teenage drinking.

There is no happy medium. Just drinking a little doesn’t work because once you drink a little then you want to drink more. It’s human nature.

Once you drink more then you start to make bad decisions. With bad decisions come bad outcomes, especially in your teenage years. Young adult and teenage brains are not fully developed until well into their mid-20s. The frontal lobes of the brain which control impulsivity, reason and logic are not fully developed. Thus at their young age teenagers are much less likely to make good decisions, especially when they are under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Statistics show that injury and death from alcohol is markedly reduced after the age of 21 compared those of a younger age.

Happening right now

We only write this letter to share our opinions and thoughts because of our personal experience with alcohol and the death of our son. But we want you to know that it is happening right now under our noses and if we as a society continue to ignore this rising problem of teenage drinking, good children will continue to be injured and die needlessly. Somehow the innocence of childhood is being lost to alcohol far too soon. There is a way

to stop it, but parents have to first acknowledge that it is happening. We have to stop ignoring the problem as if it doesn’t exist. Only then can we start to properly address the issue and find solutions.

Which brings me back full circle to the question of where does the innocence of childhood go? Why do the majority of teenagers in this country drink alcohol? The answer may be that our society leads children to believe that it is OK to drink if it is kept secretive, out of plain sight and you don’t get caught.

The liquor stores even sell to minors.

My son allegedly walked into a state liquor store with two other boys under the legal age and bought a 1.75 liter bottle of vodka without being carded the night he died. Some adults buy it for minors outside the liquor stores. The kids are smart and get it from their parents houses or other adults houses. Some parents host parties for minors and knowingly supply the alcohol to them. The older kids supply it to the younger kids. The point is that the alcohol is readily available and society sends the message that it is OK to drink if it’s kept secret and out of plain sight. The question is, how are we as a society going to stop underage drinking and does anyone really care to? Change takes leadership and involvement. Standing by and doing nothing does just that: nothing. We

as a society have to reinforce to our children that drinking alcohol is illegal before the age of 21 and will not be tolerated at the community level or the household level. This is not a punishment we are implementing but a plan to protect our kids and save them from unexpected injury, trauma, rape and the worst-case scenario: death.

Zero tolerance

Stiffer penalties need to be in place for parents who host drinking parties for their children and their friends.

There has to be zero tolerance! We as parents cannot continue to protect our kids when they break the law. I wish someone would have caught my son or arrested him before he drove under the influence of alcohol the night he died. Yes, he would have gotten in trouble and his image would have been tarnished but he would still be alive and would have learned a valuable lesson for the future. You no longer have the chance to learn from your mistakes when you are dead!

That sounds harsh but that’s the harsh reality of teenage drinking.

Kids have to start to understand that underage drinking will no longer be ignored and there will be consequences for their actions. Without this mentality, teens will continue to drink and good kids will continue to die as a result of alcohol and un-

derage drinking. My son Brian was a good kid but he made a mistake. As parents, we need to talk to our kids and find out if they are drinking and why. We all worry about our children’s safety and, unfortunately, play the odds that nothing will happen to them. But for some, the odds will turn against you and you never know who will be next. Instead of leaving your children’s safety up to luck, talk to them, educate them and actively warn them about the risks of drinking alcohol at their young age. Let them clearly know that you do not approve of drinking and that there will be stiff consequences if they are caught. They certainly will live without drinking alcohol. From personal experience, I cannot say the opposite is true.

Please think strongly about what I have written if only for your children’s sake. Losing our son Brian has been the single worst experience in our lives and there are no words to express the pain, sorrow and emptiness we feel each and every day since his death. Don’t let this happen to you.

Remember, death and injuries from alcohol are preventable if we stop teenage drinking.

The Aug. 31 opening of the 90,000-square-foot Toledo store kicks off a huge expansion for Art Van, which plans to open nine new stores in 91 days.

Michigan furniture giant Art Van opens ‘3.0’ flagship store in Toledo

By Bailey G. Dick

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer bdick@toledofreepress.com

For more than five decades, Michigan residents have stocked their

homes with sofas, recliners and beds from Art Van Furniture. The store’s name is familiar to many Michiganders, as the company operates 36 stores in that state.

Art Van Elslander gave his name

to the company he founded in Detroit in 1959.

“When he opened his first store 54 years ago, people had a hard time saying his last name, so he shortened it to Art Van,” said Diane Charles, the company’s

director of corporate communications.

Since putting his shortened name on the sign in front of his first store, Van Elslander has seen the business expand to more than three dozen stores, including the company’s

newest store in Toledo.

Who is the man behind Toledo’s newest furniture store? Kim Yost, the CEO of Art Van, says Van Elslander is “quite a distinguished individual.” n ART VAN CONTINUES ON 9

n ART VAN CONTINUED FROM 8 “His goal is to see the future. We call him the first spotter. He sees things that other people don’t see,” Yost said.

“He’s very innovative and creative.”

It was that innovation that led the company to create a “3.0” version of their stores, the first of which was built at the Toledo location.

Van Elslander loves to get creative in another area of his life: fashion.

“When you get a chance to meet Mr.

Van, you leave knowing he’s the most stylish guy you’ve ever met,” Yost said.

“He loves style. He has amazing style.”

Employees at the Toledo store are taking cues from Van Elslander’s style. Bill Salisbury, the new store’s general manager, says that the furniture business keeps an eye on the latest fashion trends.

“We’re about six months behind fashion. So if yellow is a theme, you’ll start to see yellows show up in furniture about six months after,” Salisbury said.

Yost said that Van Elslander, a father of 10 and grandfather to more than 30 grandchildren, loves people.

“He loves his employees. He will tell you that the heartbeat of a company is its people, not the bricks and mortar.

He’s all about his people,” Yost said.

Those “people” include the 3,000 currently employed by Art Van Furniture. The company says it plans to add 100 jobs with the opening of the Toledo store.

The Aug. 31 opening of the Toledo

store kicks off a huge expansion for the company, which has plans to open nine new stores in 91 days. Yost said Van Elslander is looking forward to seeing his company grow.

“This is the largest growth and expansion plan in five decades,” Yost said.

“Not only is [Van Elslander] excited financially and in terms of investment, he’ll tell you that never in his career have we done something so daring and so exciting. It’s energized our whole 3,000 employees. You’ve got one wired up company coming to this state.”

The store sits the site of the former Super Cinemas movie theater at Spring Meadows Shopping Center, which closed several years ago. Art Van built a 90,000-square-foot flagship store on the site, the first of its kind in the furniture chain.

“For many of us, it was hard for us to imagine demolishing that building, and then building our state-of-theart store,” Yost said. “We put one of our best and most amazing furniture stores in its place. “ Making the decision to expand

their business outside of Michigan was all about timing, Yost said.

“Mr. Van will tell you that the team was right, the timing was right, and we’re seeing a great little surge in the economy. Everything, you could argue, is in position,” Yost said. “We have so many more requests from guests in Toledo, guests in Chicago and beyond to bring our secret sauce to their market.”

Van Elslander said he is thrilled that the his company has opened a store in Toledo.

“Toledo resiYOST dents have been shopping with us in Michigan for many years,” Van Elslander said. “We share common values of family and community, and it was a natural fit for us to open a location here. We could not be happier to call Toledo our home.”

The company opened a store in Orland Park, Ill., just outside of Chicago, last month. Art Van is also expanding its franchise model, which currently includes eight stores in Michigan. As for the Toledo store, employees are still putting the finishing touches on the building. During a preview of the store last this week, workers were busy stocking the Clearance Center section of the store, and spent the morning unwrapping discounted items.

In addition to that section, the store features the “style boulevard,” which houses trendy new pieces for fashion mavens like Van Elslander. Also inside the flagship store are specialized departments like Paul’s TV, a flooring section, a backyard furniture section, a section featuring bedrooms for kids and teens, and Art Van PureSleep, which sells mattresses and pillows.

Art Van employees say they’re hoping to see many “supermoms” in their Toledo store. The company says their target customer is someone they dubbed “Busy Jenny,” a 35- to 55-year old who runs her house.

“She is the CEO of the household, and she truly is the financier of the shared wallet,” Yost said.

And according to store officials, most of the products sold in the store are unique to Art Van Furniture.

“Ninety percent of the merchandise you see is exclusive to Art Van. No one else carries those products,” Yost said.

And for the Busy Jennys who are looking for name-brand items, Art Van carries those as well. The store plans to carry familiar brands like LaZ-Boy, Broyhill and England, as well as electronics brands like Samsung, Sharp, Panasonic and Toshiba.

Art Van Furniture opens Aug. 31, and will celebrate its grand opening Sept.

RELIGION

By David Yonke

EDITOR, ToledoFAVS.COM David.Yonke@ReligionNews.com

After a meeting that one pastor called “a God thing,” Toledo’s largest nondenominational Christian church is getting involved in fighting human trafficking in one of the least-known European nations.

CedarCreek Church, which draws more than 10,000 people to its four campuses each weekend, will be turning the spotlight on Moldova, a former Soviet republic that has become one of the most impoverished nations in Europe.

“It was known for its wine, great agriculture and a fairly strategic location, but when the Soviet Union fell everything in Moldova fell apart,” said Ben Snyder, CedarCreek’s regional director.

Snyder recently returned from Moldova and Istanbul, which he visited with Steve Hutmacher, CedarCreek’s executive pastor; Bill Trout, the executive pastor of operations; and videographer Ryan Lynch.

It was “a God thing,” Snyder said, that Hutmacher had been invited to train European ministers last spring and met Oleg Reutki, head of New Hope Moldova.

Snyder and Hutmacher will speak about their trip and interviewing Reutki and Moldovan trafficking victims during CedarCreek’s five weekend services (5:15 and 7 p.m. Aug. 24; 9 a.m., 10:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Aug. 25).

“It is said that the No. 1 export of Moldova is women,” Snyder said.

“Oleg said there are around 7,000 girls in Amsterdam’s red light district and an estimated 6,000 of them are from

Moldova and [neighboring] Ukraine.”

Moldova’s extreme poverty drives the trafficking problem, Snyder said.

“It is so impoverished that many parents have to decide whether to watch their child starve to death or send them to a government-run orphanage, where they will at least get meals, medical attention and an education,” he said.

The orphans are cared for until they reach the age of 15 or 16, then are given $30 and “kicked to the curb,” Snyder said, “with no skills, no support structure, no sense of value or worth.”

The landlocked nation, bordering Romania on the west and Ukraine on the east, has a population of 3.6 million and is slightly bigger than Maryland. It has one of the lowest percapita incomes ($300 a month) and highest emigration rates in Europe, with nearly 10 of every 1,000 people leaving Moldova each year, according to the CIA World Factbook.

Snyder said many teenage boys leave the orphanages and head to Moscow seeking work, only to be forced into slave labor.

“It’s not just a girl problem,” Snyder said.

Many of the girls who leave the orphanages are lured by a “friend” who promises them jobs in Istanbul, a major hub for international human trafficking.

The girls are met in Istanbul by sex traffickers who shred the girls’ passports and hold them captive.

CedarCreek is teaming with two Christian ministries fighting trafficking in Moldova — Stella’s House and New Hope Moldova.

“They specialize in transition homes, providing housing, basic life skills

and job training for the teenagers who are discharged from the orphanages.

“They train them to be a mom or a father, they try to get them to be part of society, they get them enrolled in school,” Snyder said. “Some key businesses are employing these boys and girls, training them to run their own businesses someday.”

For example, Snyder said, the children learn sewing and other tailoring

skills, or get an opportunity to run a coffee stand, which can be started in any metropolitan city for $5,000.

The success of Stella’s House and New Hope Moldova can prove helpful in Toledo, which has the unfortunate status of being one of the top humantrafficking sites in the United States.

“Part of the reason we’re going for Moldova is that we want to learn what they’re doing there [to stop the traf-

POLITICS

Youngest candidate seeks Toledo City Council spot

By Bailey G. Dick

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer bdick@toledofreepress.com

Remember what your No. 1 priority was when you were 21 years old?

It’s pretty likely that whatever you’re thinking of (or trying to forget) is not the same thing occupying 21-year-old Ron Johns’ thoughts this summer.

Johns, a marketing and entrepreneurship major at the University of Toledo, is hoping to become Toledo’s youngest sitting city councilman in history. Currently, Johns is spending his summer vacation on the campaign trail, talking to potential voters about his “Less Taxes, More Freedom” platform.

“I’m going to be at a lot of festivals,” Johns said of his campaign plans.

Johns, who graduated from Maumee High School in 2010, said that he could have waited to run for Council years from now, but felt this was the perfect time for him to seek election.

“I just felt that this is a time in our history where people are really sensitive to what’s going on. People are open to new ideas,” Johns said. “I don’t have 30 years of passing bad laws. I don’t have 30 years of stealing your money. I don’t have 30 years of corruption.”

Johns, an aspiring entrepreneur, said his concerns about opening a business in Toledo after he graduates also spurred him to run.

“I have always wanted to start my own business in Toledo. However, I feel like Toledo, the way it’s going, it would not be the soundest investment for me to start it in Toledo with the way politicians are running things,” Johns said.

“I’ve always been strong into politics and I’ve always loved Toledo. I thought,

‘Why don’t I make some change of my own and make it so entrepreneurs are welcome in Toledo?’”

Johns said he believes making Toledo more entrepreneur-friendly wouldn’t just benefit him, but would help the job market across the city.

“The best way that you can promote job growth is to allow entrepreneurs to come here and form companies and make it easier for them,” Johns said.

“I would do that by lowering a lot of the fees they have to pay, and to lower harmful regulations that don’t protect citizens but make it harder for the entrepreneur to stay around.”

In addition to jobs, Johns says he is running on a limited government platform.

“I’d like to give the control back to people and to businesses, back where it belongs. I’d like to get rid of some regulations that are doing more harm than good,” he said. “I’d like to get the government out of that as much as possible, and look at some new ideas of how to revitalize it through the free market, instead of through public works, because citizens are eventually going to have to pay for that.”

Limiting government influence, Johns said, is the key to turning the city around in a number of areas.

“I see the solution to our problems as being an easy one: just butting out of business’ business. However, that’s a revolutionary idea on City Council,” he said.

Johns, a college senior, said his biggest challenge, if elected, will be convincing other Council members that big government isn’t always a good idea. It’s a challenge Johns said he is ready to face.

“I’m stubborn, but I’m fairly like-

JOHNS able. I will really try to convince them in a kind, polite way,” he said of potential Council rifts. “But in the end, my vote is always going to be for giving people more liberty and taking less of their money away. The way I look at it, stealing is stealing, even if you put it in the form of government and say you’re doing it to help somebody. If you’re having to take that from other people who aren’t going to see that benefit whatsoever, I think that’s unfair.”

Johns said another challenge he was concerned about earlier in the race was whether Toledo voters would agree with his ideas for the city. But after interacting with citizens while campaigning, Johns isn’t as worried.

“I thought it would be a really big challenge. But when I go out

and talk to people at festivals and fairs, a lot of people aren’t saying, ‘You’re a Republican; I’d never give you the time of day.’ A lot of people are hearing me talk about commonsense issues like not spending more than we need, not wasting money,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. They just want someone to be honest.”

Johns describes himself as Republican with Libertarian values. He founded a chapter of a student organization, Young Americans for Liberty, at the University of Toledo and was a volunteer for the Youth for Ron Paul campaign.

Chris Wolniewicz, who met Johns through the Young Americans for Liberty at UT and is the publicity representative for the chapter, is hoping his friend will be elected to a higher office this fall.

“The reason Ron and I get along so well is honesty. Ron will always tell the truth, no matter how ugly,” Wolniewicz said. “He got the club off the ground almost entirely by himself, and he’s doing his campaign 90 percent by himself.”

He said he relates to Johns, and not just because of his political views.

“He comes from a very modest background like myself. He knows what it’s like to be from the middle class,” Wolniewicz said.

Johns is also hoping to relate to other young Toledoans, and is hoping

his social media presence will help him gain their votes.

“If people want to contact me, it’s super easy. I’m on Twitter. I’m on Facebook. People can ask me questions whenever and I’ll do my best to answer them,” he said.

He also is taking to the online forum Reddit in hopes of fundraising for his campaign. He plans to host an AMA (ask me anything) session on the site in the near future.

“I don’t think I could have done this 10, or even five years ago. However, with the advent of the Internet, I think it’s awesome how I can connect.

I’m hoping that people who are conservative, or liberty-minded, or even common sense-minded will pitch me $20,” Johns said.

As with any college student, Johns is greatly influenced by his peers — many of whom want to leave the Toledo area after graduating.

“I want people to go, ‘Dang, this is a nice place. Maybe I’ll move back,’” he said.

“At UT, we have people from other countries who say they want to leave Toledo as soon as they’re done. It’s almost a mindset. I think they see our leaders not doing anything different.

We get new faces, but do the ideas ever really change? Toledo has been going down the same path. We get new people in and have new rhetoric.” O

limestone and gypsum.

Land said almost the entire state of Florida sits on limestone bedrock.

In addition to the Sunshine State, Land said sinkholes are common in western Illinois, western Kentucky, southern New Mexico, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and southern Brandi China, among others.

In Toledo, the June sinkhole was caused by the collapse of combined sanitary and storm sewers.

“Many of the sinkholes we read about in the papers are caused by old sewer lines or water lines that have caved in, causing overlying roadways and parking lots to collapse,” Land wrote in an email.

When it comes to sinkholes, most people think of the standard model, he said, which involves the collapse of a cave roof. However, this type of

sinkhole is rare.

When a cave forms in the underlying bedrock, the overlying sand or clay might wash down into it and create a cavity in the soil, according to Land.

If the soil is well-compacted, a soil arch could form over the cavity and BARHITE collapse, causing the most damage.

“Those are the types of sinkholes that always make the news,” Land said.

But why does it seem that every type of sink hole — damaging or not — is in the news lately?

The reason is actually quite simple.

Land said we hear more about sinkholes these days because of growing populations, especially in the sinkhole mecca of Florida. More witnesses equal more reporting of sinkholes.

That seems like a solid theory. O

Great Lakes freighter fans hate to see a beloved old boat go under the scrapper’s torch. News of the scrapping of the freighter Phoenix Star at Toledo Shipyard turned their Facebook page into a wake of sorts.

The “Boatnerds of Facebook” page, an unofficial online clubhouse that’s an offshoot of www.boatnerd.com, lit up last week with photos and memories. the activity increased after a member drove down to the shipyard’s Front Street gates and posted the photo he took of what’s left of the ship sitting in dry dock, with its wheelhouse collapsed backward into the hull.

“The only good thing about the scrapping of the Algocen (the freighter’s original name) is that so many great photos are being posted of her,” one boatnerd posted. “Long live her memory ... ” Ships are scrapped all the time, and many a laker has gone to the torch, both on the lakes and in overseas scrapyards that do the work cheaper — often at the cost of environmental health and worker safety.

But like the economic and legal “perfect storm” that doomed Phoenix Star — according to some freighter fans, before its time — the varied circumstances of the freighter’s final days came together to awaken the interest and occasional outrage of freighter fans from one end the Great Lakes to the other.

Boatnerds responding to a request for comments cited the relatively young age of the freighter. Launched in 1963 in Collingwood, Ontario, as the Algocen, it’s only 50 years old and there are several freighters still active — heavily modified and nursed along by affectionately exasperated crews — entering their eighth decade on the lakes.

“There are ships 107 years old and still running,” said Tyler Fairfield, a 15-year-old boatnerd from Muskegon, Mich., who hopes to eventually start training to be an officer on a ship. “All of us boatnerds thought it was going (into the shipyard) for a five-year (inspection), and it ended up being the end of the ship’s career.”

As one owner and then the next ran into financial trouble, the ship was figuratively and literally left high and dry. Ironhead Marine, which operates Toledo Shipyard, wound up buying the multimilliondollar freighter for $200,000, according to Canadian court papers dug up by industry watchers and posted at www.boatnerd.com.

The cost of keeping the ship in dry dock was piling up at thousands of dollars a day, and the previous owners would not pay for the costs of removing the ship from dry dock, according to the court papers. Also, as Ironhead president Tony LaMantia said for an earlier story, the shipyard needs the drydock for its other work.

Court papers also mention an incident in which the ship ran aground in the St. Lawrence Seaway, damaging

its hull to the point where, in combination with the other financial storms blowing about the ship, permanent repairs became unrealistic.

Any one of these circumstances might have been survivable, boatnerds say, but together they piled up to doom a ship that in better economic times would have sailed, repaired and refurbished, down the Maumee River into a new shipping season.

“She’s one of the last Collingwood-built classic lakers,” wrote Chris Mazzella, 26, of Ashland, Wis., who sailed briefly in 2006 on another historic Great Lakes ship, the Arthur M. Anderson. That boat was famous for being the ship that followed the Edmund Fitzgerald through the storm in which it was lost.

name made to satisfy transfer-of-ownership requirements — went to New Jersey, “It was thought that this would be the end of her,” Mazzella wrote.

The ship was for several years used as a dead-ship storage silo in New Jersey before being brought back onto the lakes under its own power — something almost unheard of.

“When the news broke about her coming back to the Lakes as an operational carrier the excitement was widespread about her return,” wrote Jim Hoffman, 65, a former Coast

Guardsman from Toledo who grew up watching and photographing the lakers from Cullen Park in Point Place.

His photos of the Star’s collapsed wheelhouse triggered an outpouring of memories on the Facebook page.

“Due to the vessel’s design, she was a very popular boat to observe amongst the boat watchers and marine historians. She had a very powerful and distinctive engine noise as well. In other words, you could hear her a long way off before she would get close to you.” O

By Duane Ramsey

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

Local educator Eileen Carr established a business called UThink earlier this year to provide an online career development tool for teachers in Ohio and, eventually, across the country.

UThink is an online learning center designed to provide licensed teachers with the endorsements and coursework they need to stay current in their fields. It provides the online system for reading and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) endorsements in conjunction with Heidelberg University.

The coursework is hosted by The Longsight Group LLC of Danville, Ohio.

Carr said the group is working with teachers and school districts in Ohio to take advantage of the UThink system, which she described as accessible, affordable, convenient and flexible. UThink began working with 75 teachers when the business was founded in March; it has doubled that number since then.

Teachers can take one course for $1,050 or earn a full endorsement for $4,200 during eight-week terms. The first seminar offered focuses on professional development for teachers.

The system was approved by the Ohio Department of Education to fulfill requirements for reading and TESOL endorsements.

Carr said 20 percent of students nationally are learning to read English as another language. Statistics show that number will continue to increase, so teachers need to be prepared to help those students, she said.

“There’s no need for students not being able to read since we have what it takes to help children learn to read,” said Carr, who has been involved in researching and developing strategies to help teachers achieve their full potential.

“It’s not just reading for comprehension. Reading is thinking used in all other subjects. It’s not just reading the words but thinking about what you are reading in subjects such as math and science,” she said.

Carr has more than 30 years of experience as an educator of both students and teachers. She earned two master’s degrees and a doctorate in the educational field at the University of Toledo and taught literacy courses there for 20 years.

To develop UThink, she enlisted the help of her UT colleague, Judythe Patberg, who has similar experience and education. Patberg has taught literacy at UT and trained tutors to work with adult learners at Read for Literacy through the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library and other literacy specialists in Northwest Ohio.

The two educators co-authored a book with another UT colleague, Loviah Aldinger, titled “Teaching Comprehension: A Systematic and Practical Framework with Lessons and Strategies.”

“I’m an educator and not a businesswoman” said

Eileen Carr, founder of UThink.

Carr, who turned to numerous sources for help while founding UThink.

She said she received advice and support from local businessman Tom Brady, who also served as interim dean of the University of Toledo College of Education.

Carr received initial funding for UThink from the Regional Growth Partnership in Toledo. She has subcontracted with two support technologists, a business manager and legal and marketing specialists to work with her on the business.

DMC Technology Group of Toledo helped Carr select the appropriate learning management system for UThink. InfoStream Solutions of Toledo designed the website.

Carr is a native of New York City. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Boston where she met her husband James Carr. The couple moved to Chicago where she taught reading to inner city boys who were members of two rival gangs as they waited for space in a social adjustment school.

“Those kids were street smart but had problems surviving in school because they couldn’t read,” Carr said.

She made a promise to herself then to figure out how to help children learn to read. Establishing UThink is the culmination of keeping that promise.

Carr and her husband, an attorney at the time, came to Toledo in 1970 for what was supposed to be two years. They stayed and raised four daughters in a community they grew to love, she said.

James is now a federal district judge for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Due to his judicial position, he has no involvement in his wife’s business venture.

THE RETIREMENT GUYS

T

Did Tony Soprano get whacked by the IRS?

he recent death of actor James Gandolfini, whose most famous role was that of the mobster Tony Soprano, has sparked debate as to whether his will was a planning disaster or not. If you saw the final episode of “The Sopranos” a few years ago, you know that it ended in such a way that no one really knows for sure what happened to Tony as he and his family were having dinner in a restaurant.

There were several suspicious characters in the restaurant and the show ended with the screen going to black leaving the viewer wondering whether Tony was about to get “whacked.” I am sure the creators of the show planned it that way to create a buzz. I happen to think that Tony did not make it out of the restaurant.

Gandolfini died at the age of 51 and his death has sparked debate among estateplanning experts as to whether his will was poorly designed, causing his estate to get “whacked” by the IRS. Regardless, it is a great opMark portunity to pause for a moment and Nolan consider some important things to think about when creating an estate plan.

Gandolfini reportedly left an estate valued at roughly $70 million with assets being left to his wife, his children, nieces, a godson, an assistant and a

FASTER ACCESS TO STATE-LEVEL MINORITY BUSINESS CONTRACTS

close friend. One of the issues being debated is that of taxes. Some experts are calling the will a tax disaster. Under the law, a person can leave assets to their spouse under what is called the unlimited marital deducCLAIR tion. In other words, no estate tax upon BAKER the first spouse’s death. Gandolfini left some money to his wife, but left a large portion to individuals other than his wife that will trigger a 40 percent tax.

On the surface this seems like a big mistake. I (Mark) am not so sure. It seems obvious that Gandolfini wanted to take care of people other than his wife. Getting money into the hands of these individuals may require biting the bullet (pardon the pun) and paying the tax. The lesson to be learned here is to consider what you want to happen to your assets when you die. If he wanted certain people to get assets he may have concluded that the money required in taxes was worth the desired result.

He also left a home in Italy to be shared by his children. What I wonder here is whether it is a good idea to leave an asset to be shared by two in-

dividuals. Apparently the ages of the two children are 13 and 1. They will obviously always be at different stages of life, so I wonder if they may have different ideas for use of the home, whether it should be sold, etc. It would seem better to leave an asset to one person outright to avoid conflict.

Evidently his children get control of millions of dollars when they reach the age of 21. Many would say that age is too young to be responsible for large sums of money. That is very possible, but sometimes restrictions to assets, can cause a big problem if something unforeseen triggers the need to access money and it is hard to get to. In this case, a trust could be drafted with a trustee overseeing it in case money was needed for health, welfare and maintenance or special situations. What is interesting about the will is that it leaves a $7 million life insurance policy inside a trust to one of his children. What I wonder here is, why this for one child and not the other? Will his children wonder why they were treated differently? He will not be around to tell them why he did what he did.

Here are some things that Tony Soprano can help us consider when creating an estate plan: 1. Think about the plan of distribution. What exactly do you want to happen with your money and stuff when you die?

2. Taxes. How important is it to maximize tax efficiency? Consider potential consequences of being too tax efficient.

3. Consider not only the practicality of your plan but the emotional impact. Will you children be hurt if you do not treat them all the same?

You will not be here to explain your decisions to them.

4.Think through each aspect of your plan to avoid conflict. You know how people can get when it comes to money.

There are many more issues to be considered, and the important thing is to not have your estate get “whacked” by poor planning. If you have not gotten your estate plan done, do not delay.

Sit down with a professional and talk through all of the issues. Your family will be glad you did, someday.

Rockets, Falcons could soar past preseason predictions

C

ollege football season is mere days away. Time to throw on the colors you graduated in, practice your keg stand, make a sacrifice of cigars to whatever sports deity you wish and maybe bang your head against a wall to pump you up. Listen to that “Light ’em Up” song that was so clearly written specifically for a sports broadcast to go into halftime. (Yeah, it was pretty obvious, Fall Out Boy. Doesn’t make it a bad song, it just means it doesn’t have artistic integrity.)

But wait ... this totally snuck up on you. You don’t know what happened in the offseason! Yeah, you can’t get away from coverage of Ohio State, which was ranked No. 2 in the preseason. And Michigan coverage falls in your lap pretty easily. But University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University ... you know nothing. Bad Rocket alum! Bad Falcon alum! You were slacking, weren’t you? Don’t worry, I’ll help you out so you don’t sound like a fool at the water cooler.

We’ll start with the Toledo Rockets. The top story, far and away, is that you no longer have two starting quarterbacks. Austin Dantin has graduated, leaving Terrance Owens as the man under center. He started most of last

Offensively, things hurt last year.

The good returning starter with the linebackers, news for the QBs is that their rebut sophomore Trent Voss stepped up ceiver corps will be much improved. large last year, and should factor into Starters who went down to injury last year are healthy once again, being a major contributor.

Expect Chris amazing things putting foot to foot- Gallon and Shaun Joplin to use their ball, and Reedy doing the duties when 6-foot height to bring down passes over the heads of their defenders. it comes to returning those kicks.

The Falcons’ season starts a little easier than Toledo’s: They’ll open up the season at home Aug. 29 against Tulsa, then go on the road to play Kent State and Indiana.

As for the latest renewal of the Battle of I-75, that’s coming Oct. 26, down at Doyt Perry Stadium.

The postseason picture for these two squads hasn’t changed … yet. The MAC Championship Game is still held at Ford Field in Detroit, and they have primary tie-ins with the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, and GoDaddy.com Bowl.

It’ll look different next year, though, with the Pizza Bowl getting the boot from Ford Field to make room for a Big Ten-ACC game. Instead, the MAC is starting up two new bowls: one in the Bahamas (Oooo!), and the other in Montgomery, Ala. (Awww). There are rumors of a possible third as well, so watch this space.

Both teams were picked to finish second in their divisions, and both teams have the talent to do much better than that. But that’s why they play the games, right? So let’s play some games, then. O Matt “Shaggy” Culbreath is sports director for 1370 WSPD.

A Toledo tradition since 2005

IN CONCERT

By Vicki L. Kroll

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer vkroll@toledofreepress.com

“Laissez les bons temps rouler!” If your French is fuzzy, that’s “Let the good times roll!”

Delfeayo Marsalis will bring some N’awlins music and good times when he slides into Toledo on Aug. 28.

“It’ll be an all-star lineup of guys, and we’re going to party like it’s Mardi,” the trombonist said and laughed.

“When we come to town, we’re going to be playing Mardi Gras, so it’ll be more of a New Orleans celebration, the party music.”

The jazzman will hold court with saxophonist and clarinetist Victor Goines, trumpeter Marquis Hill, sax player Lauren Sevian, bassist Eric Wheeler, pianist Richard D. Johnson and drummer Winard Harper.

“I love playing the New Orleans music,” Marsalis said during a call from his home in the Crescent City. “We like to change it up, incorporate as many styles as we can.”

“Fat Wednesday” will take place at the Best Western Premier Grand Plaza Hotel, 444 N. Summit St. Tickets for the concert and tasting buffet are $55 for Art Tatum Jazz Heritage Society members and $65 for nonmembers; tickets for an after party that will include champagne are $75 for members and $85 for nonmembers.

The evening will begin at 7:30 p.m. with a tasting buffet of dishes from the Big Easy. On the menu: gumbo, jambalaya and bread pudding with red beans and rice served up using Louis Armstrong’s recipe, according to Kay Elliott, executive director of the Art Tatum Jazz Heritage Society, who organized the event.

Marsalis hails from New Orleans and that storied music family.

“When I think of that period of growing up and that early development, it’s less about music and more about education and creativity because my mother [Dolores] is a very creative person,” he said. “She encouraged us to be creative in our own way.”

The noted musician will also discuss creativity Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. in the Toledo Museum of Art Great Gallery.

“I think I will end up talking about working with kids,” Marsalis said of the free event.

Ever the improviser, he came up with the name of the talk during the interview: “Oh, I know, the title will be: ‘Be Creative, It’s Cool Like Jazz.’”

He’ll also share his latest project when he visits the Glass City: a children’s book titled “No Cell Phone Day.”

His 12-year-old daughter, Jazmine, inspired the work.

“We had our no cellphone day when she was probably 7 or 8. And after deciding we’d have a day with no technology, we just went and hung out at the park,” he said. “We came up with a fun day, and she really enjoyed it and told all her friends she was excited we had a no ‘cellophone’ day, as she would say back then.”

He’ll read the new book Aug. 29 at 10 a.m. at the ToledoLucas County Main Library and at 2 p.m. in the Great Gallery.

“I would say [the book is for] probably second grade and up. It can still be enjoyed by kindergarten and first grade for the pictures because the illustrations [by Reginald Butler] are so marvelous,” Marsalis said. “I wanted it to be a family book, something that everyone could enjoy at least one aspect or more of it.”

“No Cell Phone Day” is dedicated to Marsalis’ younger brother, Mboya, who has autism.

“This was the early days of autism; this was before they knew what it was,” Marsalis recalled of when his brother was growing up. “Knowing early on that [Mboya] would have difficulty with communication and with learning to a certain extent inspired me to really work with kids and to try to help.

“I think I have an extraordinary amount of patience having grown up in a household with Mboya, and I’ve dedicated the book to him.”

Marsalis has another creative endeavor: His new album, “The Last Southern Gentleman,” will be out in October. “[The disc] features myself with my dad [pianist Ellis Marsalis], [bassist] John Clayton and [drummer] Marvin ‘Smitty’ Smith, and it’s my first quartet. I’m the only horn,” he said.

“We pay tribute to the great men of the South. There’s a jazz sound that’s from the South that is unique, and it has to do, in my opinion, with what we consider Southern hospitality and Southern manners and the idea of the actual Southern gentleman.

“And many of the early great jazz men, that’s who they were: Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong and “King” Oliver and Johnny Dodds — if you read about these guys and learn about them, they just had that sensibility about them in that Southern gentility, and we’re paying tribute to that.”

In 2011, Ellis Marsalis and his sons who pursued music — trumpeter Wynton, saxophonist Branford, drummer Jason and Delfeayo — received the National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award. “[The honor] was mostly for my dad and the great work that he’s done as an educator, as a performer, and that he would contribute to having four sons who love the music and are doing everything they can to spread the word.” O

The cover of the 2012 disc “The Devil You Know” finds Rickie Lee Jones behind a feline face mask.

Whether she’s chirping, growling, trilling, purring, hissing or howling, Jones is one of the coolest cats around.

With that distinctive voice, Jones is fearless.

“I do think ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ is a most compelling interpretation,” she wrote in an email interview referring to her version of The Rolling Stones’ song that opens her latest release, a collection of rock classics. “‘Comfort You’ [is] good too,” she added about the Van Morrison track on the disc.

“I don’t have much to say about records I make. It’s my work, my art. I can’t sell it to you,” she wrote.

That independent spirit and defiant attitude mark a distinctive career.

Jones burst onto the scene with the folk-jazz smash “Chuck E.’s in Love” in 1979 and won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1980. Time magazine called the beret-wearing, guitar-playing singer-songwriter “The Duchess of Coolsville.”

Since then, she has wrapped that voice around blues, synth pop, new wave, rock, trip-hop, gospel, R&B and jazz.

“I first noticed I had a very uncool singing voice when I first heard myself on tape when I was 16 and, to my surprise, you know, sounded like I sound — like a very young boy, back then anyway, like Michael Jackson. I was devastated,” Jones

wrote from her Los Angeles home, recently back from a tour of Japan.

“But I had sung all my life and could not sing, so I made peace with my voice eventually — say, 10 years later, cool. I like my singing now that not many people hear me.”

VH1 named Jones one of the 30 greatest women in rock. “The Horses,” which she co-wrote with Steely Dan’s Walter Becker, appeared on her 1989 album “Flying Cowboys” and was featured in the movie “Jerry Maguire.” And her duet with Dr. John on “Makin’ Whoopee” won a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group in 1989.

What does she think are the elements of a good song?

“I have never thought about it. Songs are all different. A song with a bridge, a song without a bridge. A tiny short song, a big complex rhythmic song, all kinda songs. Some reach me and others miss me and ignite my neighbor,” she wrote. “Who knows? If I knew, believe me, I’d be doing it right now — instead of talkin’ to you. Lol. I hope.”

Jones will bring her sense of humor and adventurous heart to the Ark in Ann Arbor for an 8 p.m. show Aug. 26.

Tickets are $75 and $45. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

“I love that my audience takes on a similar spirit wherever I go, that they are full of enthusiasm and patience, and that often we take each other to the higher planes during the performance,” she wrote.

“I love that they come, after all these years, and love the whole show, none of this hit song thing.” O

COMMUNITY

By Matt Liasse

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer mliasse@toledofreepress.com

On Aug. 17, the restoration process began on the Gardner Chime at Trinity Episcopal Church — something Wayne North has been working toward since November.

With the help of The Old Trinity Foundation, North recently surpassed his goal of raising $50,000 last month after starting the drive late last year.

NORTH “I’m happy that we were able to make this

work,” North said. “I’m happy with the number of people who stepped forward when they heard about the bells and donated money to make this a reality.”

The bells were donated in 1941

by Ellen Gardner, whose brother designed the Gardner Building. They were purchased to hang in the Trinity Episcopal Church in memory of her parents and siblings. The bells rang for 50 years, but had fallen silent for the past two decades because of decay.

“I was dumbfounded by that,” North said. “Here you have this wonderful resource and this irreplaceable instrument sitting there and nobody can use it. Our project now is to fix it so that when people want to play the bells, they can be played.”

North’s efforts were the subject of

a Dec. 9 Toledo Free Press cover story.

Previously, the goal was to have the bells able to ring by July 4, but North said he wanted the process to be completely funded by donations.

Work began at 7:30 a.m. Aug. 17.

Three men climbed five flights of stairs to attach strikers to the appropriate bells in Gardner Chime, a unit of 13 bells collectively weighing 9.6 tons. It was a 13-hour workday.

Strikers are devices that ring the bells from the outside, programmed electronically by a keyboard or control system. The heaviest striker weighs 175 pounds.

North called placing the strikers the “first significant step to restoring the sound of the historic bells.”

“Bells in the church have always been fascinating to me,” he said.

North said not to expect the bells to ring right away; they won’t be rung much until early October. He is planning a recital that will be open to the public to mark the 70th anniversary of the first recital on the bells. There will be a rededication of the bells in November.

North said it says a lot about the Toledo community that so many cared enough to donate.

“I think Toledo really cares about its community,” North said. “A lot of times, the reason that things don’t happen is nobody steps forward and provides the leadership to make this

specific project happen.”

Toledo Free Press previously reported that The Waite-Brand Foundation, the Walter E. Terhune Fund and the Lamb Foundation were

some of the donors.

North said the changes are good.

“I think, in the long run, it’s going to make Downtown Toledo a more interesting location,” North said. O

FOOD AND DRINK

Eat Local Toledo initiative identifies local restaurants

By Matt Liasse

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer star@toledofreepress.com

Rod Brant thinks nothing could be finer than dining in Toledo.

“Whenever you go to a location, whether it’s Toledo or Cincinnati, there’s a certain flavor or a certain flair that you get just from their local ambience,” Brant said. “I think that there’s definitely not only a local flavor to Toledo but lots of great places to eat, some on the expensive end and some on the low end.”

With his new initiative, Eat Local Toledo, he provides independent restaurateurs in the area a “unified method of conveying the BRANT value they offer,” he said. The initiative is a way to let patrons know which restaurants independently owned and operated.

“Whenever I travel, I always want to eat at the local restaurants,” Brant said. “Even when I was traveling with my kid’s soccer team, I would go into a city like Cincinnati or Chicago, I’d always want to eat at a local restaurant because frankly, the chains are pretty boring and I really want to get a flavor of the community that I was in.”

Brant said the project benefits Toledo, ensuring money isn’t distributed on a national scale.

“I’m a big free market guy; I don’t think the government should regulate who can do what and buy what from

where,” Brant said. “When you spend $100 at a local restaurant, about $70 is circulated back to the local economy. When you spend $100 at a chain restaurant, about $30 stays here. it really does a great service to the local community for us to spend our money locally with local independents. We have a ton of restaurants here that people may not know are locally owned.”

As of right now, 10 restaurants are included in the project, including Sidelines, the sports eatery and pub.

Eric Sitter, who owns Sidelines with two others, joined the group in response to chains having an advantage in marketing. He said Eat Local Toledo helps local families and the local economy. Eating at chains means profits go elsewhere.

Sidelines has four locations, most recently on Holland Road in Maumee.

Others include two Toledo locations and one in Michigan.

Eat Local Toledo was formed less than three months ago after another local restaurant owner approached Brant. Together, they talked about national chains and came up with ideas to differentiate locals eateries from them.

Members of Eat Local Toledo will work together on marketing that will include meal discounts.

Each restaurant included will be given materials so customers will know about their connection with Eat Local Toledo.

Brant will also be distributing the “Little Black Book of Toledo,” a guide to local restaurants in the area. It will be given to local attractions and hotels for visitors and local residents.

“The food at local restaurants

is always better than the food at chains,” Brant said.

Brant said any restaurant in the area can join his initiative. Visit eatlocaltoledo.com for more informa-

tion. There are some requirements, including local ownership and owning fewer than six restaurants in the area.

“Eat Local Toledo is a consortium

of independently owned and operated restaurants in the greater Toledo area dedicated to preserving the unique flavor that defines Toledo,” Brant said. O

A home for Maddox Maddox is a robust 3-year-old male kitty who was brought into the Toledo Area Humane Society after his owners moved into a rental property that didn’t allow cats. Maddox is a loveable teddy bear who enjoys snuggling and spending quality time with his owner.

There is no ignoring Maddox. If he doesn’t get the attention he wants, he is perfectly happy to vocalize his complaints. Maddox’s new family better be prepared to dish out plenty of petting to this big boy. However, rest assured; he is willing to give just as much love right back. Maddox has been neutered, examined by a TAHS staff veterinarian, is current on his vaccinations and is microchipped.

Toledo Area Humane Society is located at 1920 Indian Wood Circle, Arrowhead Park, Maumee. Adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
