Jim rides in

inally, a glimmer of good news at the Lucas County Board of Elections. The BOE, hijacked and compromised by the erratic and volatile actions of its “Republican” side, should soon see the return of Jim Ruvolo.

Ruvolo, a former chairman of the Lucas County Democratic Party with six years of BOE experience, should quickly find his nomination approved by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted.

Ruvolo is a savvy choice to wade into the BOE mess, a political and personal upheaval laughingly characterized by warpath “Republicans” Jon Stainbrook and sidekick Anthony DeGidio as a “housecleaning.”

Ruvolo is tenacious, to the point where some critics describe him in unpleasant anatomical terms. But his longstanding reputation for standing up for what he believes is right will serve him well as he strives to counter the scorched earth tactics that are Thomas F. Pounds paralyzing the BOE with a major primary just weeks away.

A longtime political consultant, Ruvolo worked for the Clinton and Gore campaigns and co-chaired the Rules Committee at the 1992 Democratic National Convention. He has led the county and state Democratic parties and will bring a great degree of political savvy to the BOE morass.

“Jim Ruvolo is an experienced member BOE], as well as someone who has of [the Michael S. miller been involved in elections for over 30 years throughout the United States,” said Ron Rothenbuhler, chairman of the Lucas County Democratic Party and BOE member, in a news release. “I’m confident that he will fight with me to block Republican attempts to prevent citizens from losing their right to vote.”

We’ll assume Rothenbuhler’s choice of the word “block” is pure coincidence.

We won’t often agree with his politics, but we respect Ruvolo and are cautiously optimistic about his ability to neutralize the rancor and counterproductive game-playing that characterizes the current incarnation of the BOE. Ruvolo may not be a new sheriff in town, but he rides tall in the saddle and represents a fighting chance to settle the BOE dust storm. O Thomas F.

In our office, we ended the fiscal year with a $400,000 surplus, and are reducing general revenue fund operating expenses by $1.2 million over the next two years. We will also save $100,000 annually by automating check processing and ending the unsecure daily practice of physically driving checks across the state to the depository bank. If families and small businesses are tightening their belts, then government should do the same.

In Ohio, we have embraced our balanced budget requirement, and raised our fiscal outlook in the process. We accomplished this without raising taxes. By charting a conservative fiscal course we are achieving positive results for taxpayers, even amidst global economic uncertainty. O Josh Mandel is State Treasurer of Ohio.

PEOPLE

By Jason Mack

Toledo Free Press Web Editor jmack@toledofreepress.com

Big-band music and the city of Toledo lost a legend Aug. 28 when Johnny Knorr died at the age of 90 in his home. He founded the Johnny Knorr Orchestra in 1960 and was the musical director for 50 years before retiring last year.

“He’s been a mainstay,” said Jerry Knorr, Johnny’s son and the current musical director of the Johnny Knorr Orchestra. “He was underrated by not being flashy and outspoken about things. He was always conservative in his approach. Therefore, many times people didn’t know what all the involvement was. In his absence, it will be more known what his value really was to the community.”

Jerry officially became musical director at the beginning of the year, although he had been helping his father perform the duties for the past couple of years.

“He’s been my mentor all along,” Jerry said. “It was an unusual relationship for a father and son, but I always looked up to him for guidance, especially with playing and everything else.”

Jerry has been with the band since the beginning, playing saxophone with the orchestra at the age of 18. The Johnny Knorr Orchestra debuted as a 10-piece band at the El Rancho Ballroom on Dec. 10, 1960.

Standing by the music

“The Johnny Knorr Orchestra is exceedingly important,” said Michael Drew Shaw, a friend of Johnny who wrote and produced a documentary about the orchestra. “They started just prior to the British invasion with The Beatles and everything else. It was a tough time to start a big band. They decided to do it and stuck with it. They went through some hard times, but the band has always stood by its signature of Big-band music.”

Johnny began playing violin at age 9, but he learned the saxophone while attending Libbey High School so he could join the marching band.

It proved to be a wise career move.

“I would match him with any saxophone player in the music business,” Shaw said. “He had a special touch for playing the sax and the arrangements of some of the greats like Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller pieces. He maintained the integrity of all those great

songs, but he put his special touch on everything he played — some of them originals but much of it music people danced to back in the ’30s and ’40s.”

Johnny was well respected across the music industry. Johnny Desmond, a vocalist with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, once told him, “You play tenor sax the way I like to hear it.”

“It’s best expressed by the quotation from Johnny Desmond,” Jerry said. “Many people try, and it isn’t quite the same. Since my dad has been unable to play, people who have replaced him in the orchestra have realized he made it look so easy.”

Johnny adapted the compliment into the band’s trademark: “The music you like, the way you like to hear it.” Shaw also played off the slogan with “Just The Way You Like It,” a CD recorded to celebrate the band’s 50th anniversary. Shaw owns an interest in US20 Records.

He reconnected SHAW with Knorr a few years ago when he asked him to help rearrange a song called “Intermission Riff.”

“Not everyone can do horn arrangements,” Shaw said. “I asked Johnny if he would do an arrangement on a song we were going to update. That led to he and I having a long and reminiscing lunch at the Bayshore Supper Club. I realized the band’s 50th anniversary was happening, and nobody seemed to be doing much to recognize them.

I decided to do a collection of their greatest stuff and release it to mark the 50th anniversary.”

Shaw eventually decided a CD was not enough and put together a documentary called “Satin Dolls: The Johnny Knorr Story,” by American Retrospects Films.

“The more I researched, the more surprised I became at how little video existed on the band,” Shaw said. “There was no video I could find anywhere. Because I’m a film producer, I said ‘somebody ought to do something about this because soon it will be gone forever.’

We set out for over a year, traveling with the band to a couple of concerts and shooting quite a bit of footage at Centennial Terrace. We released it officially at their annual 2010 New Year’s Eve party.”

Historic event

Shaw was the emcee at the 2009 New Year’s Eve party. A couple of clips from the night are featured on the documentary.

“That was a historic event for two reasons: It may have been Johnny’s last performance as part of the band. It was also the night he officially turned the baton over to his son and stepped down as bandleader after 50 years,” Shaw said.

In honor of Johnny, the documentary will air at 3:30 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Sept. 4 on WMNT, Channel 58 on Buckeye CableSystem.

“We were very fortunate to have done the documentary while dad was still alive,” Jerry said. “There are interviews with dad on there along with performances. It’s great to have footage of him playing.”

“I always had a special place in my heart for Johnny and his band because of the ballroom era music they played, keeping the Big-band music alive,” Shaw said. “I remember as a kid, my parents were very fond of talking about the old ballroom days back in the ’30s and ’40s. That was one reason him and I became close over the years.”

Jerry was sad to see his father retire, but he has enjoyed stepping in as musical director.

“I certainly have big shoes to try and fill,” he said. “It’s an awesome job.

It’s certainly a wonderful feeling when you look out on the audience and see the smiling faces on so many friends and fans. There’s not much else that can compete with that.”

According to Jerry, Johnny lived for pleasing the crowd.

“The audience always had his first attention,” Jerry said.

“Whether it was a concert venue or a dancing venue, he was always interested in pleasing the people.

Sometimes musical groups will play more for themselves rather than the audience. He always had the audience in the forethought of his program.”

Jerry and the Johnny Knorr Orchestra will continue playing, starting at the Centennial Terrace Sept. 10 from 7:30-10:30 p.m.

Johnny is survived by Jerry, his wife Jane, his daughter Janice Wilcox and eight grandchildren.

Visiting hours are 4-8 p.m. Sept. 1 and 2-8 p.m. Sept. 2 at Walker Funeral Home at 5155 Sylvania Ave. Funeral services begin Sept. 3 at 11 a.m. at Christ Presbyterian Church at 4225 Sylvania Ave. O

Physician FOCUS

Folic Acid for Expectant Moms To help ensure that you have a healthy baby, it’s important to take the right vitamins before and during pregnancy. One of the most important supplements is folic acid.

Folic acid, also known as vitamin b9, can be found in prenatal and multivitamins. It’s in green, leafy vegetables like spinach, turnips and asparagus. Also, many pastas, egg yolks and cereals may be fortified with folic acid.

Folic acid is essential to your unborn baby’s health and development. It helps prevent birth defects like neural tube defects (NTD), such as spina bifida. Fortunately, taking folic acid before and during your pregnancy is one of your baby’s best defenses against these birth defects. Plus, it’s easy for you to take.

Women planning on having children should begin taking 400 micrograms of folic acid daily at least one month before conceiving. During pregnancy, women should take 600-800 micrograms. Women who have a high-risk pregnancy should take four milligrams daily.

Beyond pregnancy, folic acid may also help prevent stroke, cancer and cardiovascular disease in women.

For this reason, folic acid is beneficial for women from child-bearing age through menopause.

Talk with your doctor about adding folic acid to your health regimen.

Chrysler Group LLC has received approval for $10 million in tax credits and $2.85 million in grants from the State of Ohio. The funds are for work force training and new equipment for the proposed expansion of the Toledo Assembly Complex (TAC) and Toledo Machining Plant in Perrysburg Township.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich announced the tax credits and grants for Chrysler’s local expansion projects once they were approved by the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) on Aug. 29. The incentives support Chrysler’s potential investment of $365 million in the TAC facilities and $72 million in the machining plant.

“These incentives are part of my administration’s efforts to help create needed jobs in the Toledo area,” Kasich said. “Chrysler is a major asset to Toledo and Ohio and we’re doing everything we can to make the case that Ohio is the right place for the company to continue to invest and grow.”

Kasich met with representatives of Chrysler, Ford and General Motors in

Detroit on Aug. 23 to discuss investments and the continued presence of the companies in Ohio.

Chrysler appreciates the support from the State of Ohio in approving these incentives, according to Jodi Tinson, a spokesperson for the Chrysler Group.

The ODOD approved the tax credits and grants to help create 1,100 new jobs and retain 1,700 existing jobs at the TAC. The UAW union and local officials have been expecting the financial assistance from the State of Ohio since Chrysler applied for tax abatements from the City of Toledo, Toledo Public Schools, and Washington Local Schools.

UAW Local 12 President Bruce Baumhower reported earlier that the union expected the state’s announcement of incentives for expansion of the TAC by Chrysler.

“We’re glad they approved it. It’s another step completed in the process. You’ve got to have business, labor and government working together to get it done. We look forward to a big announcement by Chrysler soon,” Baumhower said. n CHRYSLER CONTINUES ON A9

DEVELOPMENT

By Duane Ramsey

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER dramsey@toledofreepress.com

JobsOhio and the Ohio Department of Development are working together to create economic development and new jobs in the state.

Officials from the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) and JobsOhio conducted a regional meeting in Northwest Ohio on Aug. 31 to discuss Ohio’s new economic development strategy.

The meeting, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Perrysburg, was one of six regional meetings the two state entities organized during the past two weeks. Officials outlined the role of the ODOD and its relationship with JobsOhio and its network partners that include the Regional Growth Partnership (RGP) in Northwest Ohio.

“We need to have sustainable economic development with a positive return on investment,” said Mark Kvamme, president and interim chief investment officer for JobsOhio.

To achieve that, “We need to create a business-friendly environment in Ohio. We’re focused on economic development, working with the Department of Development and governor’s office,” he said.

“The key is to deliver the results and we expect to start seeing results in 2012,” said Christiane Schmenk, director of the ODOD and chair of the Ohio Third Frontier Commission.

Kvamme and Schmenk agreed that a strong partnership between JobsOhio and the ODOD is required for successful economic development in Ohio. JobsOhio will operate as a private nonprofit corporation working on behalf of the State of Ohio.

JobsOhio will do the frontline economic development work but the ODOD will have oversight of the new private entity, Schmenk said.

“It pulls us all together to do what’s best for the state,” she said.

Since January, the ODOD has reduced about 500 positions to about 330 by attrition, retirement and the transfer of some jobs to JobsOhio. n JOBS CONTINUES ON A11

september 4, 2011 n JOBS CONTINUED FROM A10 Schmenk reported the DOD plans to change its name to Development Services Agency in 2012.

“JobsOhio already saved $50 million for the ODOD in 2011. We only have about 25 people on staff at present and would likely grow to about 50 by the end of this year,” Kvamme said.

Funds for JobsOhio come from profits from Ohio’s wholesale liquor business. Gov. John Kasich wants to dedicate those funds to help grow the private sector and create jobs.

The Ohio Third Frontier Commission announced funding awards Aug. 29 that included $14.8 million through the JobsOhio Network Program. RGP was awarded $2.18 million for one year of participation in that program.

Since JobsOhio formed in January, Kvamme said it has been instrumental in creating 2,500 new jobs and retaining another 7,300 jobs in Ohio that will result in more than $100 million in new payroll and additional revenue for the state. Kvamme said an announcement is forthcoming about 500 new jobs with the expansion of a distribution center in Northwest Ohio. He declined to share any additional information.

Northwest Ohio’s advantages include medical, manufacturing, solar and alternative energy and transportation with its access to the Great Lakes, Kvamme said.

JobsOhio will work with local economic development partners in the six regions. RGP will represent 19 counties in Northwest Ohio, seven more than it previously represented.

“RGP will have full access to the resources and staff at JobsOhio,” Kvamme said.

“We’ve never had that kind of relationship before,” said Dean Monske, president of RGP. “We will manage the process working with our partners in a larger region.”

RGP will work with the Northwest Ohio Regional Economic Development Association, which represents the 12 original counties in its jurisdiction and the West Central Ohio Network, which represents the seven southern counties in the new region.

Monske said RGP will operate with a smaller staff, recently reduced from 24 to seven when its Rocket Ventures fund became a joint venture with UT Enterprises Foundation. Rocket Ventures LLC staff relocated to UT’s alternative energy incubator.

Monske announced the hiring of Gary Thompson as director of JobsOhio for RGP. Thompson has served as executive director of the Oregon Economic Development Foundation since Monske left that position.

Monske also reported that RGP will hire two project managers to represent JobsOhio in Northwest Ohio and fill two administrative positions by the end of this year. O

Labor Day impacts Republic Services’ waste collection Due to the Labor Day holiday, all waste collection from Republic Services will be pushed back one day during the week of Sept. 5.

Regular collection days will resume Sept. 12.

Labor Day will be the first holiday since Republic became Toledo’s official private waste collection provider in mid-July.

After taking over, Republic dropped the old “LEAP Forward” waste collection program and instead will delay all trash pickup one day after holidays.

The company operates 348 collection companies in 40 states and Puerto Rico.

Republic announced its My Republic Rewards program Aug. 25 to reward citizens for their recycling efforts with coupons from Imagination Station, The Toledo Zoo, Quiznos and The Andersons, among others.

“Whether your bereavement experience is recent or not so recent, you will find encouragement, comfort and help through this program,” Pastor Clint Tolbert said. “You will be provided with valuable resources about grief and facing the new normal in your life.”

The program is described in a press release as nondenominational but features “Christ-centered, biblical teaching that focuses on grief topics associated with the death of a loved one.” It also includes a DVD seminar.

Registration for a spot in the GriefShare program is $10. Preregistration is required by calling the First Presbyterian Church of Maumee at (419) 893-0223. For more information, visit www.GriefShare.org. O — Zach Davis

Festival shares Greek culture, food

By Jason Mack

Toledo Free Press Web Editor jmack@toledofreepress.com

A wider array of food than ever before will be available when the 41st annual Greek-American Festival comes to Downtown Toledo starting Sept. 9.

“Our goal is to share Greek culture and Greek food, and the customs and the Greek Orthodox faith with the greater Toledo community,” festival publicity chairman and Toledo City Councilman George Sarantou said. “When we started in 1970, I don’t think anybody thought it would be as big as it is. We have a lot of people that come year after year and enjoy the food, music and dancing. It’s been a great journey.”

According to Sarantou, the festival has practically doubled in size since it started, with more activities and a wider variety of food now available.

The Levendes will play Greek and American music at the festival on Sept. 9 and 10, and the Greek techno band Olympus will play Sept. 11. The Levendes is a five-piece band from Detroit with guitar, keyboard, drums, SARANTOU vocals and a Greek instrument called a bouzouki.

The festival also features the Hellenic Dance Company, which will perform every day of the festival in imported Greek costumes.

Food will be available at the Gourmet Food Tent, the Fast Food Tent and in the Kafenion. The Gourmet Food Tent features three dinner platters for $10 each, including a sampler platter with moussaka, spanakopita, tiropitas and dolmathes. The Kafenion features coffee and thousands of Greek pastries. The Fast Food Tent has Gyros, Greek fries, Greek pizza, hot dogs and a new dish called saganaki.

“We think that’s going to go over pretty well, especially during the night hours,” Sarantou said. “We use kasseri cheese

and set it on fire. It is very theatrical. It’s also very tasty.”

Sarantou said his favorite Greek food is chicken oregano with rice. He also enjoys pastichio, a type of Greek lasagna.

Festivalgoers can learn to cook several of these dishes at one of four cooking demonstrations. Susan Sieben will cook loukoumades at 7 p.m. Sept. 9. Maria Kopan will cook kourambiethes at 6 p.m. Sept. 10. On Sept. 11, Karen George will cook spanakopita at 2:30 p.m. and George Kamilaris will make moussaka at 4 p.m.

Anyone interested in learning more can also pick up “Olives, Feta, Phyllo & More,” a cookbook created by the parishioners of Holy Trinity Cathedral containing more than 500 Greek and American recipes.

“One of the biggest things we’ve done in the last couple years is the parish put together a cookbook of more than 500 Greek recipes,” Sarantou said. “It’s selling well at the festival and on the Internet. It’s sold all over the country.

People want to learn about Greek food. A cookbook is very entertaining and useful for people. Mediterranean food is much more popular now than it was 20 or 30 years ago.”

At 1:30 p.m. Sept. 11, Father Aristotle Damaskos is going to present “My Big Fat Greek Wedding: The Truth” in the Cathedral. This will be a reenactment of a Greek Orthodox wedding service with a bride, a groom and a kombara.

“That’s going to be neat,” Sarantou said. “A lot of people that come to Greek weddings are amazed at how pretty they are and all the symbolism. He’s going to do that and explain the service to people.”

At 1 p.m. on Sept. 11 the festival will have a memorial service marking the 10th anniversary of 9/11 in front of the stage. They will have an American Legion Post attending to do a 21-gun salute and play taps.

Admission to the festival is free from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 9. Admission is $4 after 3 p.m. Sept. 9 and 10 and $1 on Sept. 11. Children 12 and younger are admitted free with a parent or guardian. The festival is located on Summit Street with entrances at Walnut and Superior streets.

his question started out with exciting news. A job seeker received an email stating he was a candidate for a warehouse job. He had applied for the job via the Internet, so it seemed legitimate. He was asked to answer a few questions before coming in for an interview. Then the surprise came. The alleged company wanted his credit score and if he didn’t know it he needed to follow a link and pay for one to be done. Thankfully, the man knew his score so he didn’t need to purchase anything, but that got him thinking, “Was this a scam?”

Northwest Ohio Better Business Bureau (BBB) Director Dick Eppstein said this was definitely a scam. Credit scores and bank account information is not something that would be asked in an Brandi initial application or via email. Any employer who is asking for personal information is likely planning to use it or sell it.

Eppstein said be cautious if a job or company isn’t local. If you read something like, “We are a company in Toronto and we want to hire an agent in Toledo,’ beware.”

Recently, BBB encountered a scam involving Hollywood Casino Toledo. A crook advertised on Craigslist that the casino was hiring. Guess what? It wasn’t the casino. The real casino said, “We aren’t hiring yet, and when we do hire, it will

be on our site, not someone else’s site,” Eppstein said.

Anything that sounds like a dream job should also be viewed with caution. You should be skeptical of a job that says you can work from home and make lots of money. Anything that does not require a lot of experience but pays well is probably a scam, too.

The saddest part is people so badly want jobs that they will believe anything, even when the BBB tells them it is too good to be true, Eppstein said. Recently a woman was convinced she was being hired for a job in Indianapolis and was about to provide personal information. The BBB checked the phone number of the “employer.”

Eppstein said job seekers should remember this: “If they are going to hire you, they pay you.” O To ask a question, send a letter to Community Ombudsman, c/o Brandi Barhite, at 605 Monroe St., Toledo, OH 43605, email bbarhite@toledofreepress.com or contact her through www.facebook.com/toledofreepress and www.twitter.com/ toledofreepress.

Cleaner & Dryer grows into Inc. 500|5000

By Duane Ramsey

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER dramsey@toledofreepress.com

Cleaner & Dryer Water and Fire Damage Cleanup and Repair of Toledo has grown so much during the past three years that it made the 2011 Inc. 500|5000 list of fastest growing private companies in America.

The company has experienced 185 percent growth from 2007 to 2010, which ranked it 55th among the top construction companies on the list and 1,503 overall among the top 5,000 firms. It received a letter in July confirming that it made the list publicly announced Aug. 23 by Inc. Magazine.

“We’ve been blessed and humbled to help a lot of customers and we’ve been increasing our market share despite the tough economy,” said Jon Schoen, president of Cleaner & Dryer.

The 30th annual Inc. 500|5000 Conference and Awards Ceremony will be held Sept. 22-24 in Washington, D.C. Schoen said they will

be too busy to attend the awards ceremony next month.

The firm sent five crews and trucks loaded with cleaning, drying, dehumidifying and water extraction equipment and supplies to help in the wake of Hurricane Irene. The caravan left Toledo on Aug. 26 and participated in cleanup work in Virginia, New Jersey and New York, Schoen reported from the East Coast on Aug. 29.

“Our focus is to help people after an accident or disaster. We understand we need to be very respectful of the customer in their home when they are healing from a personal loss,” he said.

“We understand the frustration and anxiety our clients endure when faced with emergency and disaster cleanups. We are there to offer some stability and assurance that we will return their property to its pre-loss condition to the best of our ability. Many of our customers say that we leave their homes in better condition than before the disaster,” Schoen said.

The folks at Cleaner & Dryer must be doing things right since they have averaged 42 percent growth for each of the past four years. The firm outgrew its space of 6,500 square feet at its former location on South Avenue two years ago, SCHOEN Schoen said.

Cleaner & Dryer is moving into its new headquarters with 35,000 square feet of space in the former Pella Windows & Doors factory on Angola Road. The firm purchased the facility, which had been vacant for four years, in November.

They started renovating in April and are planning a grand opening Sept. 9.

The firm has handled the construction for the renovation of its new headquarters, Schoen said.

The facility features a new secured lab for cleaning property

more efficiently and technically with the latest equipment from Fireline Systems, precision cleaning specialists. The lab includes additional equipment from that supplier to clean electronic items.

The firm has installed a large commercial washer and dryer to clean, dry and remove odors from clothes.

It also includes two ozone rooms for treating larger items such as furniture, and 100-plus wooden storage units for storing customers’ property.

Cleaner & Dryer is using the former entrance and showroom for sales and customer service. A new dispatch center for assigning staff to cleanup projects was included.

Schoen said the firm has built men’s and women’s locker rooms with showers for employees and are turning a former sunroom at the front of the building into an exercise room.

Cleaner & Dryer has more than 20 employees with many years combined experience in the disaster cleaning and property restoration industry.

The company is a member of the As-

sociation of Specialists in Cleaning and Restoration.

“We believe in educating our staff through attendance at national conventions and continuing education courses on water, fire and mold repair.

We are proud to say that our technicians are the most knowledgeable in the industry,” Schoen said.

The company’s new headquarters includes a 70-seat auditorium where it will conduct classes in continuing education for its employees and local insurance agents, beginning Sept. 7.

Cleaner & Dryer is a family owned and operated business that started as a home carpet-cleaning service in 1996.

The firm got into the restoration end of the business in 1998 and is a fullservice general contractor for reconstruction, Schoen said.

Today, the disaster clean-up and restoration company serves hundreds of commercial and residential customers in Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.

THE RETIREMENT GUYS

Use leverage to protect your assets and family O

ne of the biggest concerns we see when folks come into our office for advice is protecting life savings from a health care crisis.

As we get older we all realize that time flies by quickly; the clock is ticking on our lives and it is only a matter of time until our health declines and we face our own mortality. I (Mark) turned 50 this year and it seems like yesterday that I graduated from college, got married and had an entire life ahead of me.

Fast-forward 28 years and here I am, contemplating the third and fourth quarters of life (if I’m lucky).

My family has both a questionable health history and longevity on my dad’s side and I am hoping I get more of the longevity part.

My Grandma Nellie had a heart at-

tack at age 54, survived it and had another 10 years later that she did not survive. All of her brothers and sisters died of heart attacks and her sons — my dad and uncle — succumbed to the same problems. On the other hand, my Grandfather David amazed me by living to the ripe age of 92. Fortunately for many of us, we are living in an age when modern medicine has improved enough to deal with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc. As a result, many of us will live to older ages than our parents and grandparents. That does not mean that we will experience perfect health.

According to the Wall Street Journal, a couple turning 65 has a 70 percent chance that one of them will

We have done this in many cases and have created in some cases another $500,000 of benefits that could be used for long-term care.

And guess what? We all know that death is certain, and if these benefits aren’t used for long-term care, they will pay out in the form of a death benefit to your loved ones. If the numbers make sense, this can be a strategy in which there are very few drawbacks.

Markets rally as recession looms

uring the past several weeks, stocks have staged a mild recovery following their violent correction. While this has led many investors to re-enter the markets, unfortunately these bounces appear totally unfounded. Most are simply traders taking advantage and buying on dips, but these moves are based totally on technical indicators and market internals — not economics.

The market has seen modest bounces simply because data being released isn’t as bad as expected. Sadly, this doesn’t make the data good. The Chicago Purchasing Managers Index, or PMI, released Aug. 31, fell, but the decline was less than expected so stocks bounced.

Similarly, the ADP Employment report, also released Aug. 31, showed that the private sector added roughly 91,000 jobs in August, not quite the anticipated 100,000. Plus, the number of jobs added in July was revised to 109,000 from 114,000.

Neither of these figures reflect positively for the economy, particularly not when other, more dreary data is considered.

Chief among this more pessimistic data is growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or, more accurately, lack thereof, which recently dipped below 2 percent on a year-over-year basis. This is a point that has been repeatedly hammered by a select few financial pundits who are aware that

University of Toledo Deputy Athletic Director Mike Karabin announced Aug. 31 that the UT football program has broken the school record for season ticket sales. As of Aug. 29, UT has sold approximately 11,050 season tickets, breaking the record of 11,005 set last season.

Season tickets were bolstered by the “Ultimate Fan Plan” packages, which accounted for 4,500 sales (500 still remaining). The Ultimate Fan Plan costs $59 for a ticket to every home game and includes $24 in concession vouchers, $30 toward a general admission season parking

pass and a $20 Rocket Shop gift card.

“We expect to keep selling season tickets right up until our second game against Boise KARABIN State on Sept.

16,” Karabin said. “Our final season ticket number could end up being substantially higher than 11,000.”

Toledo opened the season at the Glass Bowl on Sept. 1 against New Hampshire. The Rockets host No. 5 Boise State on Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. in a nationally televised game on ESPN or ESPN2. O

Marrow driven to win by losing EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third installment of a weekly series in which Staff Writer Mike Bauman will follow sixthyear Toledo senior cornerback Desmond Marrow for the 2011 season.

By Mike Bauman Toledo Free Press Staff Writer mbauman@toledofreepress.com

From the time he committed to the Rockets more than five years ago, Toledo senior cornerback Desmond Marrow expected to win. Winning played a vital role in why he came to UT, and it is a big reason why he chose to come back in 2011.

After four consecutive losing seasons, the Rockets went 8-5 with a 7-1 mark in Mid-American Conference play last year and made it to a bowl game for the first time since 2005. While expectations are high for Toledo this season after years of inconsistency, Marrow is not worried about the Rockets getting too high on themselves because there are still two goals he and his teammates have yet to accomplish: a MAC Championship and bowl game victory.

“Just being here for so long, we’ve had just losing season after losing season after losing season, and then to finally get some winning around here and just get a taste of it — our main goals were to make it to a MAC Championship and win a bowl game, and we didn’t accomplish either one of those,” Marrow said. “So from the outside you may think, ‘Oh, the Rockets had a great season,’ but we didn’t accomplish anything, and we just try to stay hungry and to stay motivated for the season.”

Toledo trumped last year’s preseason prediction of a fourth place finish in the MAC West Division thanks in large part to a defense that performed better than most outside of the Rockets’ locker room expected. UT tied for fifth in the country with 34 takeaways in 2010 as players at each level of the defense had career seasons.

Marrow tied for the team lead with three interceptions.

Senior defensive end Malcolm Riley tied for a squad-best 5.5 sacks. Junior defensive end T.J. Fatinikun led the Rockets with 13 tackles for loss, while junior linebacker Dan Molls finished second in the MAC and tied for 10th in the nation with 143 tackles to go with his three interceptions.

Both Fatinikun and Molls earned Third-Team AllMAC honors last year and will join Marrow and Riley as the leaders of a defensive unit that returns seven starters from 2010.

“That’s the good part,” Marrow said. “From the line, linebackers, secondary — we’re well-rounded at every position, so we’ve just got to go out there and prove that our defense is good.”

One player who can attest to the Toledo defense’s prowess is senior running back Adonis Thomas, who faces Marrow and company every day in practice.

“We feel as though we have the best team in our confer-

ence,” said Thomas, who received Second-Team All-MAC honors last year and is the conference’s leading returning rusher. “We believe that we have the best players in this conference. Anytime you want to be the best, you have to go against the best, and we really get after each other.

“We really push each other because everyone here wants to succeed and wants to play at the next level, so we all get after each other so that we all hopefully are fortunate enough to get on that next level,” he said.

To get to that elite level, the Rockets have to win at home, which has been a struggle in recent years. In the five seasons Marrow has spent at Toledo, UT has lost 13 times in the Glass Bowl. From 2001-05, the Rockets only lost twice at home.

“Being the oldest guy on the team and being a leader, I just try to tell the young guys that the tradition and the things that have been here, we’ve just got to bring it back so that [when] people come into the Glass Bowl, they know it’s a serious place to play,” Marrow said.

Heading into a season filled with high expectations, high-profile matchups and high internal standards, Marrow and his defensive teammates are prepared to hold up their end of the bargain.

“I just try to keep the guys upbeat and just try to be a leader, along with the other vets on the defense —with T.J., Malcolm, John Lamb and Johnie Roberts from the d-line and also Danny Molls,” Marrow said.

“The good thing about playing here is we’ve got guys that can step up and play as well or better as the people that we lose.” O

ROCKETS BASKETBALL

Goodall to play pro ball in Spain

september 4, 2011

A20 n Toledo Free Press

Toledo Free Press Web Editor jmack@toledofreepress.com

Less than two weeks after returning from a trip to Israel, former UT women’s basketball player Melissa Goodall is preparing for a much longer trip to the Canary Islands in Spain. Goodall signed a professional contract Aug. 30 with Uni-Tenerife in Santa Cruz, Spain.

“I’m really excited, because it’s going to be a really cool experience,” Goodall said. “I’ve heard nothing but good things about the place I’ll be, the team and the coach. It’s getting really close now, and as it gets closer I’m getting more and more excited.”

Goodall’s contract runs until the end of April 2012. She is flying out Sept. 14; she and teammates will share an apartment that is provided by the team and fully furnished. Uni-Tenerife plays in the Spanish Second Division Professional Basketball League.

“She just worked her tail off the entire time that she played for us,” UT head coach Tricia Cullop said.

“Of any of the players I’ve ever coached, she’s probably the most improved player from the time we first met her to what she’s become. She’s going to continue to improve. She practiced with us getting ready to go to Israel, and she just continued to show signs of getting even better.

She’s really developing her perimeter skills. There’s no doubt in my mind she’ll be a success. I’m very excited for her and very proud of her.”

Cullop helped her decide where to play by connecting Goodall with her agent, Tom Cross, who helped narrow the decision down to a couple of teams.

“Anywhere would have been fine, but Spain was in my top two,” Goodall said. “When talking with Tom Cross, he said that Spain is a really good country to go to as a rookie. You get a lot of exposure and it’s a really good place to start off. n GOODALL CONTINUES ON A21

n

last season, Melissa Goodall earned third-team All-MAC honors. She led the Rockets with 6.9 rebounds per game and averaged 12.9 points.

september 4, 2011 n GOODALL CONTINUED FROM A20 “You’re going to get a good experience and play competitive basketball.

People are going to pay attention and you can move up from there. That was definitely a bonus. I had an offer in Germany and another offer in England, but theirs was a little bit better.”

The new team presents challenges for Goodall, such as playing in a Spanish-speaking country.

“I don’t know a whole lot of

Spanish, but I’m hoping to get some of the basic phrases down by the time I have to leave,” she said. “Spanish to me is not that intimidating of a language to have to learn. I’ll be immersed in it, so I’m going to have to pick up on things kind of quickly.”

She is more concerned about the challenge of playing for a Spanishspeaking head coach.

“That will be a little bit of an adjustment,” Goodall said. “I know that

she does speak some English, but preferably when she’s coaching she is speaking Spanish. I’ve heard from everybody who has played overseas that you have to have one or two teammates to turn to for a quick rundown of what the coach said. I’m going to have to do that.”

An easier challenge for Goodall will be adjusting to a different style of play in Spain.

variety of teams we’ve been able to play is she has had the opportunity to have some very diverse experiences,” Cullop said. “We’ve played everything from finesse teams to physical teams. She has gotten stronger along the way. She’s going to be asked as an American to go score. They’re paying her to be a scorer.

The good thing is she can do that.”

The Rockets played physical teams such as Northwestern and finesse teams such as Bowling Green last season as Goodall earned thirdteam All-MAC honors. She led the Rockets with 6.9 rebounds per game and averaged 12.9 points, 1.1 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals in 30.8 minutes per game.

“I definitely think I’m prepared from the different levels of competition and different styles I’ve been exposed to playing at Toledo,” Goodall said. “Our competition in our nonconference schedule increased a lot.

Last year was a pretty tough schedule.

With playing in the WNIT, that also exposed me to a little bit broader stroke of different styles of basketball.

I’m prepared for whatever is thrown at me. Our coaching staff had the mindset to challenge us and not just have an easy schedule we could float on through.”

During Toledo’s postseason run in the WNIT, Goodall averaged 9.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. She scored 12 points with nine rebounds in her final game at Toledo as the Rockets beat USC 76-68 in the championship game.

Goodall has received advice on the style of play she will see overseas from UT senior guard Naama Shafir, who played for the Israeli national team in the European women’s championship.

“She has an idea of what it’s like to play for another country instead of your college team,” Goodall said. “I’ve been able to talk to a few people to get an idea. I’m just going to take it in as it comes, be as ready as possible when I leave and hopefully be successful over there as well.”

Goodall likely would have already signed with a team, but she was determined to join the Rockets on their trip to visit Shafir in Israel from Aug. 7 to 18. Goodall and classmate Jessica Williams had to maintain their amateur status to be allowed to make the trip.

“Everybody was so excited for it,” Goodall said. “When Coach Cullop said we were going to be able to go, there was never a doubt in my mind about going on the trip, no matter what it took.”

Williams headed to Hawaii this week to start her job as a graduate assistant at Hawaii Pacific University, and Cullop is not looking forward to her former players bragging about the weather this winter.

n A21

“Jay is going to be a graduate assistant at Hawaii Pacific, and Goody is going to such a terrible place, too,” Cullop joked. “It’s going to be awful when they call me and it’s snowing here and they say, ‘Coach, it’s sunny here.’ We always joke with recruits that it doesn’t snow in the gym.”

“I’m going to call and be like, ‘I went to the beach today,’ in the middle of February,” Goodall said. “I’ll see once I get over there if I miss winter or not. I’m excited to be living in the island life for a few months. I can’t complain about that.”

Santa Cruz is part of the Canary Islands and is about 130 miles off the northwest coast of Africa, so Goodall will be doing plenty of traveling to and from the mainland for games.

“I’m kind of an adventurous person,” Goodall said. “I’m really looking forward to seeing as much of Spain as possible. The Canary Islands is a little farther away than if I’d picked a city on the mainland. I’ll have time to do some traveling on my own, but I’m looking forward to playing all the different teams and visiting all the different cities through just the basketball aspect.”

Cullop visited an area close to Santa Cruz on a recruiting trip a few years ago.

“She and I talked about it,” Cullop said. “I’ve never been in the exact place she’s going to go, but I really enjoyed the brief time I was there. I think she is going to love it.”

While Goodall is excited to travel, she expects to miss her family and friends.

“I know that I will miss people, but luckily as part of my contract I do get one paid vacation with a roundtrip ticket and everything,” she said.

“I’ll be coming home for a week around Christmastime. I’m happy about that. With Skype and the Internet and all social media we have now, it won’t be too hard for me to keep in touch with people. I’m sure I’ll get a little lonely, but I’ll make a few friends I can hang out with.”

Goodall is tied for first in UT history with 131 games played, fourth with 83 blocked shots and 16th with 1,131 points scored, and she has no plans of slowing down in Spain.

“I want to keep my job, so in order to do that I have to produce,” she said. “I can’t just go over there and be a bum. I’m hoping to do at least as good as what I did my senior year. I’d like to average 15 points. I’ve been told that would be a good point for me to reach. I’m going into it expecting that I’m going to really enjoy it and want to be able to continue it.

Maybe I’ll sign up for the same team, but if not I’ll play for another team the next year and do it for a few years down the road.” O

IN CONCERT

Madina Lake touring to support ‘World War III’

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

In June 2010, Madina Lake bass player Matthew Leone helped a woman who was being beaten by her husband. The musician sustained a fractured skull and broken jaw. Doctors removed part of his skull to allow the brain swelling to go down. He was in a coma for five days.

“He’s doing great, but it is a daily struggle,” said twin brother and Madina Lake vocalist Nathan Leone. “He ends up getting completely exhausted and out of the blue has to crash. There are some short-term memory issues, and he still has a lot of pain in areas of the surgery.

“Having him back is an absolute blessing in every way. We have to make sure he continues his upward trajectory.”

When fellow Chicago musician Billy Corgan heard what happened, Smashing Pumpkins played a benefit concert in the Windy City to help with medical expenses.

“Matthew’s health insurance had expired three weeks before [the incident] while we were on tour in Europe,” Nathan said. “We were just overwhelmed by the amazing acts of beauty, generosity and compassion.”

The Leones were fans of Corgan and Smashing Pumpkins but had never met. “[Corgan’s] an idol of ours,” Nathan said. “So that happening was just miraculous; it’s almost like a dream come true that you thought was such an impossibility you really never wasted time dreaming about it.”

Later, Corgan invited the twin

brothers to Sedona, Ariz.

“Sedona is, spiritually speaking, a very healing kind of place,” Nathan said. “I wanted to take [Matthew] out there to heal, recover and rest.”

And the brothers got to hang out with their hero in the recording studio. “[Corgan] noticed this one riff he was working on, every time he played it, Matthew and I would just try to keep our composure, but we didn’t do a very good job hiding how excited we were,” Nathan said during a call from Chicago. “On the fourth day, he just turned around and said, ‘You guys want this?’ And we were like, ‘Yep!’ ” That riff turned into “Imagineer,” a song on Madina Lake’s new disc, “World War III,” due out Sept. 13. It’s the third release for the alternative band and the final chapter of a story that began with the 2007 debut, “From Them, Through Us, to You.” The concept behind the trilogy: Madina Lake is a fictional place where a young socialite goes missing. Clues to the disappearance are in the group’s music, album art and videos.

“Nowadays, there are so many good bands and so many records that I think the onus is on the band to deliver more,” Nathan said. “It was a cool opportunity for us to expand the whole project beyond music and delve into this almost fantasy landscape.”

I, of course, do have some concerns roughly as long as I have been putting them on her.

Bianca is a 5-year-old white German Shepherd. She was dropped off at the Lucas County Dog Pound with her two six-week-old puppies.

The Toledo Area Humane Society took them in and are trying to help them find a new home. Bianca’s puppies are not quite old enough to go up for adoption, but Bianca is ready and eager to find a new home. She is friendly and loves to be around people.
