Doesn’t hold water
S
omeone sees a firefighter at Costco buying bottled water and the rumor spreads that a water ban must be imminent. Someone in line at a grocery store hears half of a phone conversation about a news report and the rumor spreads that a water ban must be imminent. Someone says he has a friend who has a cousin who knows a man who works with a guy who knows a contact at the water treatment plant who says tests are off-the-chart toxic, and the rumor spreads that a water ban must be imminent. While it is understandable that people’s confidence in the quality of local water has been shaken, it has been disturbing to see how quickly rumors of water bans have spread and how persistent those rumors are. Like a dog chasing its tail, social media whips itself into a flurry of rumors and outright lies about the region’s battle with toxic algae. credit, after an initial shaky start, Thomas F. Pounds theToD.itsMichael Collins administration is visibly working to keep the public informed and the rumors of another ban at bay. The City of Toledo started posting tap water test results on its website. The “daily water pumpage” for the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant is also posted on the site. There has also been a management change. Tim Murphy was named the interim commissioner of water treatment on Aug. 26, one day after commissioner David Leffler resigned. Collins said he asked for the resignation because he’d lost confidence that Leffler could rectify his policies or facilitate the city’s vision for the future. Following criticism over how the city shared information during the water crisis, Collins hired a new public information officer. Stacy Weber worked for the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department and Lucas County Emergency Management Agency. She’ll be in charge of the city’s social media accounts, as well as communicating with the media. All of these steps (along with a long overdue media tour of the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant Aug. 28) add up to a clear effort to keep the process transparent and the public informed. There is no way to guarantee Toledo can avoid another water shutdown as the algae season progresses. But Collins has apparently learned from his early mistakes, made some major course corrections and is working to restore our confidence in the city’s ability to navigate any potential crisis. Hopefully our fellow citizens will remember that most rumors of imminent disaster simply do not hold water. O Thomas F. Pounds is president and publisher of Toledo Free Press.

Opinion
n MILLER CONTINUED FROM 3 I don’t know — hormones or something — whatever it was, it was such a simple process. And then I had her and became a mom and there were so many different feelings that came into that. And then I had my son and during that time it was like I couldn’t write. I think I was just so enmeshed in being a mom and being present. I was living in every moment as opposed to reflecting on every moment in songwriting. And more recently, I’d say it was probably not that long ago, when my son had his 1-year birthday and I started getting the itch to write again and perform again and I had come across Google+ and Hangouts, ways to kind of get my music out there without having to leave home and kind of sacrifice being a mom. I was kind of struggling with, “How do I, now that I’m a mom, am I still a singer-songwriter, am I still a musician? Can I still do this?” Because I don’t want to sacrifice one for the other, I can’t. I’m not gonna leave my kids and just go [laughs]. So I think I was struggling with that a lot and it may have been getting in the way of my songwriting. TFP: Some of the songs, like “Breaking My Heart” and “I Would For You,” are about vulnerability. Is that something that just came about from being a mom? Talk about the vulnerability that weaves itself through some of the new songs. Fay: I’m already a sensitive person and I don’t know what it is, I always say I feel things so much more than the average bear, or maybe I show it more. Everyone feels it; I just wear my heart on my sleeve. But definitely (since) becoming a mom, everything is more heightened, more sensitive and I definitely felt more vulnerable. I also think that I found a lot of strength in becoming a mom, a lot of my purpose. Like OK, I get it now. My songwriting was previously all about me, me, me; this is much more about, “God, I’m scared I’m not gonna be there for them or I’m gonna get heartbroken and lose my way.” It all became very much more rooted in vulnerability. TFP: “Autumn’s Chill” really catches that. You talk about slides and butterflies and grass stains, but you also talk about aches and pains and hide-and-seek from reality. Fay: As we grow older, we kind of get jaded and lose the wonder of the world, and as children we kind of see the world as amazing and magical and everything is new, bright and colorful. And as we get older everything dampens, gets darker and a little less vibrant. And falling in love with anybody, whether it be a spouse, friend, partner, whatever, can bring me back to that place of just, “Oh my God, everything’s magical.” They
September 7, 2014
A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com say love is a drug and it’s true, and it just heightens everything. I felt that with my children, but I know they’re gonna grow up and I wanna protect that wonder in their eyes. But I know I can’t get lost in that because I have to guide them. Things are gonna happen, life is gonna be hard, they’re gonna scrape their knees. TFP: When you sit down to write songs, are you writing a poem that’s set to music, or music you match words to? Fay: I usually just have a phrase that will pop into my mind and that usually sits with me for a little bit. The funny thing is, these phrases usually come to me in the shower. I’ve heard that that’s the thing that happens with writers. For some reason that’s the place where these ideas come. It can come anywhere but that seems to be the place where it comes. And then I sit down with my guitar and kind of just strum out a few chords and see where the story goes from there. I write with my guitar. I know a lot of people journal and turn their journal into song and add a melody. I can’t do that; the two go together when I write. TFP: Your lyrics are very literary, unlike the average modern song where a dozen words are repeated over and over. You’re telling little stories and going through a whole different structure of songwriting, going against the moment. Fay: A majority of it is just who I am and the music I grew up listening to and my inspirations … TFP: Who are some of those? Fay: Tom Waits is probably my No. 1 songwriter. He’s a master songwriter and creates such beautiful music and I love his voice against these beautiful stories, it’s such an amazing thing to me. I grew up with my mom listening to James Taylor and Carole King and I love Jeff Tweedy, Simon and Garfunkel. Colin Hay (from Men at Work) is another one of my favorite songwriters who’s underappreciated. TFP: I wouldn’t have put Colin Hay anywhere near Tom Waits. The other artists you mentioned are connected; Hay kind of goes against the other ones you mentioned. Fay: Not so much the Men at Work stuff. They’re fun and were a great band, but I saw him at a venue called Largo in Los Angeles, one of my favorite places to see music, and I didn’t really know who he was. I was like, “Oh, the Men at Work guy,” and he was unbelievable. His songwriting is amazing, his voice is beautiful. Listen to his solo stuff, it’s very poignant. Another is Elvis Costello. A lot of my therapy when I was young was music, so I really ingested what they were saying. It was the most important thing to me. TFP: I’m playing your album and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I hear Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” It’s an incredibly creepy version because it’s slow and deliberate compared to the
original, which is a campy thing. Fay: I had been asked to do a Hangout concert for Halloween, and I was like “Oh, I’ve gotta throw a creepy song in there,” so I was like, what song do I wanna do? I wanted to do something unexpected and it just came to me, I’ve gotta do “Thriller.” I love Michael Jackson, early Michael Jackson was — as much as I say pop wasn’t an influence on me, Madonna, Michael Jackson, all that early pop stuff was an influence and part of my growing up. I picked up my guitar and I just started slowly kind of finger-picking it and I was like, “Oh, this could totally be cool. I play with my bandmates; I play with an upright bassist and a mandolin player and I knew we could do some really cool stuff if we deconstructed a little bit and then kind of take it to a more haunting place and a spooky place. TFP: In “Life is Beautiful,” you talk about “No Dolce & Gabbana” and eschewing most of the material things. That goes very much against the grain of most popular music these days, the I need, I want, I gotta havetype themes sort of running through current music. Are you taking a stand against that materialism? Is it a reaction to that or is this one of your lifelong philosophies? Fay: I feel like such an old lady, “Oh, kids these days, they don’t understand what life was,” ... and I get it, growing up in the glitz and the glamour of pop music. I’m not a pop artist, obviously, that’s not where my heart is, but I don’t get it. I don’t get the addiction to things and I think a lot of the problems

Upgrades planned at Collins Park Water Treatment Plant By Danielle Stanton
Toledo Free Press News Editor dstanton@toledofreepress.com
At the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant, chemists and engineers transform Lake Erie water into drinking water for nearly 500,000 people. Fish are removed and contaminants are purged — including enemy No. 1, the toxin microcystin that comes from the blue-green algae clogging the lake. It was concern surrounding those microcystins that caused a “no-drink” water advisory for the Toledo region Aug. 2-4. Soon after, the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant came under scrutiny when the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency claimed it had plans to take over operations if the city failed to improve the plant’s conditions. It seemed the 73-year-old plant was to take at least partial blame for Mayor D. Michael
Collins’ administration’s failure to protect the city’s drinking water. But city officials refute that, saying it was a harmful algal bloom at the water intake site, not conditions at the plant, that caused the advisory. “There’s a perception that this is a 70-year-old plant on its last leg,” said Andrew McClure, the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant administrator. That couldn’t be further from the truth, he said. That’s why McClure and program manager Warren Henry wanted to give the media a tour inside the plant, built in 1941, to show reporters that walls are not falling down, paint isn’t peeling and all filters and pumps are working properly. They want Toledoans to know their tax dollars are hard at work bringing safe drinking water to their taps. “We want to be good stewards of public funds,” Henry said Aug. 28.
The plant is slated to undergo millions of dollars of repairs and an expansion. Officials are looking into ways to combat the algae, but wouldn’t specify what new technology they would use. Overall, they were optimistic that the plant would be operating for many years to come.
Treatment process
In Lake Erie, raw water enters what’s called an intake crib through 16 underwater ports. The intake crib is 83 feet in diameter, 24 feet below the surface of the lake and two and a half miles offshore. The water travels from there to a pump, which sends the water eight miles to the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant. The water has been in pipes from Lake Erie up until it reaches the chemical feed room at the plant. Here, chemicals are added, including activated carbon, aluminum
sulfate, potassium permanganate, chlorine and fluoride to soften the water and remove contaminants. From the chemical feed room, the water flows to the flocculation and sedimentation rooms. Here, residue is removed as large particles bond and fall to the bottom of the basin and fine material that doesn’t settle is filtered out. At this point, the water looks good enough to drink but isn’t safe yet, Henry said. The water, which had been open to the air since entering the plant, now flows into pipes below ground level. This piping is 30-50 years old, Henry said, and is slated for upgrades. The water flows from the pipes to water reservoirs, then high-service pumps send it through the distribution system and finally to customers’ faucets. The administrators of the system call it a “barrier” system, in which several safeguards are put in place to
protect the water, beginning with the chemicals added at the low-service pumping station where contaminants such as fish are removed to the high -service pumping station at the end of the line where filters continue to remove contaminates before pumps move it to customers.
Cost of repairs, expansion
Administrators during the tour discussed “improvement costs” to the plant, totaling about $264 million over five years. Some of those expenditures include $1.7 million for structural repairs at the intake crib, about $30 million for pump upgrades, $37 million for filtration improvements and about $100 million in basin upgrades. “It’s easy to throw away the old,” Henry said. “Just because something has aged doesn’t mean you throw it away. Repairs can last a long time.” n WATER CONTINUES ON 8

results of 2.469 mg/L and 1.926 mg/L respectively. Both were nondetectable under the old method. Initially discussions with the Ohio EPA involved doing additional testing at locations outside of Toledo and evaluating our position at 8 a.m. Saturday morning. O Shortly before 1 a.m. on Aug. 2, the Ohio EPA Director [Craig] Butler contacted Public Utility Director Ed Moore and recommended we should define the water as “Do Not Consume.” This was made public in a press release and in social media. O The media release went out at 1:20 a.m. on Aug. 2, [City] Council President [Paula] Hicks-Hudson was contacted and a voice message was left at 1:21 a.m. Lucas County Sheriff John Tharp was called directly and calls were placed to media sources to stress the importance of the notification to the public. O Sheriff Tharp contacted Lucas County officials and Lucas County Emergency Management Agency. Councilwoman Lindsay Webb texted members of City Council at approximately 2:23 a.m. O The Lucas County Emergency
D. Michael Collins Management Agency sent out a text alert at 3:43 a.m.: “All City of Toledo water customers are advised not to drink, boil or shower in the water until further notice.” This warning was not consistent with our declaration. O We then moved to Critical Event Control Center and set it up
in the Lucas County 911 Communication Center. The hours advanced and by 8 a.m. we established direct telephonic conference ability with Director Butler and his staff (Ohio EPA) and Gov. John Kasich. O The operation was then divided into the operational response and the internal analysis from the plant. O The discussions resulted in engaging the Ohio National Guard, the Ohio Highway Patrol, the private sector [including] Kroger, Walmart, Meijer and others. This endeavor was to be capable of logistically defining locations for distribution and collecting water for public allocation. O The internal issues resulted in sending samples to the U.S. EPA in Cincinnati, Ohio EPA in Columbus, Lake Superior State University in Michigan and our own facility. O There were several presentations to the media over the course of the day and information was provided to the extent we were facing this challenge and with Gov. Kasich and Director Butler and his staff all in place. n COLLINS CONTINUES ON 9

I
feel compelled to share the events and challenges faced as a result of the harmful algal bloom and its impact on our water supply. The first thing I must suggest is we have a facility which is [73] years old. This system has served us well and in truth produced water of the highest quality anywhere in the United States. The science and engineering which were used in the construction of the plant were the finest the world had to offer. When we look at the broader picture not all systems are the same, we use the natural resource from Lake Erie. There are other point sources such as rivers, deep-water wells, freshwater lakes, recycle systems and reservoirs. Our geographical location enables us to have one of the best sources
for water on this planet. Unfortunately, as a society we have been poor stewards of this marvelous nature’s gift. The multitude of discussions as to how we arrived at this compromised environmental challenge is not the final step, in my opinion; dialogue absent an action plan serves no positive outcome. Due to this event we have been the focus of both the national and international media. I believe we must as a community and region act with one goal, and that is seek solutions, create policy and define the future for the future generations. To those who assume we have more time, my question is what do we do when we run out of time? I believe I must now advance this discussion to the events of Aug. 1-4, 2014. I offer the following as a chronologic record: O Ohio EPA directed us to perform testing using a different protocol. The previous test protocol we used was in place and accepted for accuracy for the past several years. Testing results taken at 4:30 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. had

n WATER CONTINUED FROM 6 Media members asked whether it would be more cost-effective to build a brand-new facility. Henry likened the plant to an automobile. “I don’t believe in buying a new car because it needs a new set of brakes,” he said. During the tour, it was evident that the building was old but in good repair, at least cosmetically. The ceiling that hangs over the open drinking water looked clean and fresh with shiny gray paint. The new roof has been worked on in sections and is nearing completion, McClure said. The age of the structure was apparent in art deco filtration control panels, which are no longer in use. “We’re rehabbing everything and with the new addition, we’ll get another 70 years,” Henry said. “I have no hesitation saying this at all.” McClure and Henry discussed the expansion while standing on the location of the planned site, saying
A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com the “redundant expansion” will give them a potential 160-milliongallon capacity. Currently, they are using a 120-million-gallon system — six treatment basins, each with a 20-million-gallon capacity. The expansion will allow portions of the plant to be shut down for heavy maintenance instead of trying to make repairs in a working section of the plant or having to wait until winter when water use is lower, McClure said. The repairs will be phased in within the next four years and the expansion is about two years out, they said. “We’ve operated this facility successfully for 70 years,” Henry said. “We’re the only plant for the area.” In other costs, the treatment plant is paying about $1.7 million more for chemical treatments since the algae crisis, administrators said. They have a $3 million to $4 million budget for chemicals. Administrators say they do not know how much they’re going to use because they can’t predict the condition
September 7, 2014
of the lake water. The chemical budget for this past year was $4.7 million, which won’t change despite the conditions of the lake, because they have a three-year contract with suppliers.
The algae
Administrators are looking to technology to deal with the algae. They said there are a number of different options they could use at the plant to protect the water against microcystin, including membranes, ozone or granulated carbon. They are looking at augmenting the chemical and/or the filtration process. Henry called these options “barriers,” and said they are not just concerned about the microcystin but about all contaminants. “We hope to have another barrier by next year,” Henry said. In the meantime, McClure said the plant, with its chemists, engineers and 30 licensed operators, is working in partnership with the Ohio EPA. “Everyone has their role to play and we’re working hand-in-hand,” he said.

n COLLINS CONTINUED FROM 7 O As we moved into the early hours of Aug. 3, we had not received consistency in our collective testing and thus continued with the operational and internal efforts. O Mid-afternoon on Aug. 3, the professionals in quality testing with the input of Jeff Reutter, Ph.D., from The Ohio State University, reached a
Community

consensus and one single test was the outcome. A document was prepared as a result of these discussions and signed off by Director Butler and myself. O A key point to remember is this is the first time a single protocol (for detecting microcystin) was agreed to and it is now the standard for the State of Ohio. O Late Aug. 3, in the conference call, the Ohio EPA, U.S. EPA and Gov. Kasich all opined that the directive of
“Do Not Consume” could be lifted, based upon the latest outcome from the single standard test. O Toledo’s test would not be available until around 3 a.m. on Aug. 4, it was decided we would wait until our test results were available. O When the test results were available there were two sample area test results which were inconsistent with the 30 points of distribution samples.

These locations were in Point Place and East Toledo. O As part of a conference call with Director Butler and the governor, the city collected three distribution samples from the two locations that had inconsistent results. O Collection and testing was complete around 8:45 a.m. on Aug. 4. The tests demonstrated all samples were in the nondetectable range and consistent with the original 28 samples. O The system warning was lifted in a press conference at 9:25 a.m. on Aug. 4. O Aug. 6, [Toledo Fire & Rescue Department] Chief [Luis] Santiago conducted a post-event “hot wash” (debriefing) and a final report will be forthcoming. O Aug. 7, a meeting was held with our partners in other jurisdictions to discuss and create a protocol for future communications. Reflecting on this experience, there should have been a universal and direct contact system in place. In terms of our ability to inform the community, I would suggest my responsibility was to ensure we were capable of handling the incident and seeing that water was available to the community that could be used in the absence of safe tap water. My total objective was to move the internal process to address the matter and keep the community from engaging in a state of panic. I am reminded of a conversation I had with a citizen at a public event [after the water advisory]. He, I believe, gave me sage advice and a sound analysis of this incident. He defined this in three parts. First there are the Monday morning quarterbacks, second the academic who will lecture and opine with no real world experience and finally the individual in the leadership position who actually faces the adversity and

I must also state that the professionalism and dedication of our employees, both classified and unclassified, defined the culture of the Toledo workforce. The other public servants from all jurisdictions and the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department stand out as true professional public servants. The safety and security of the community is paramount and all decisions were solely influenced with that responsibility in mind. To close, I would be remiss if I failed to address the great response from the community. Our community responded and became directly involved in the distribution process. I said at the time and it deserves repeating, “Toledo has a populace of men and women of character, compassion and resolve” our future will be defined and this even, as unfortunate as it was, will serve us in our mission.

Taxpayers
TFP delinquent land tax ads yield $3.9 million more than Blade average at nearly half the cost
TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com
Each year, the Lucas County Auditor’s Office is required by law to publish a list of delinquent land tax notices in a local publication. In December, the notices were published in Toledo Free Press, the first time a free weekly newspaper has published the Lucas County list. Toledo Free Press was the only publication to submit a bid and published the notices at a cost of $168,025. Between January and March, $10.7 million in late and delinquent land taxes was collected, according to county records. That’s $3.9 million more than the average amount collected for the past four years at almost half the cost to taxpayers. Between 2009-12, the notices were published by The Blade at an average
cost of $321,000. An average of $6.8 million in taxes was collected each year between January and March following the publication of the notices. The county paid The Blade $339,935 to run the notices in 2009, $287,135 in 2010, $347,272 in 2011 and $309,870 in 2012. Taxes reported collected between January and March of the following years were $6.8 million in 2010, $6.4 million in 2011, $6.9 million in 2012 and $7.1 million in 2013. Toledo Free Press became eligible to publish legal notices with the signing into law of Ohio House Bill 153 by Gov. John Kasich in October 2011. The legislation eliminated the link between charging for newspapers and being permitted to publish legal notices and opened the legal publication business to any “newspaper of general circulation” that publishes at least once a week and meets other criteria, including at least 25 percent editorial
content, being published continuously for at least three years and the ability to add subscribers to its distribution list. The bill also requires the newspaper to offer its best classified rate. “Before 2011, it really was tied strictly to whether you had a valid U.S. Postal Service mailing permit and generally those mailing permits are whether you’re a paid circulation newspaper,” said Dennis Hetzel, executive director of the Ohio Newspaper Association (ONA). “In 2011, the qualifications, you could argue, were relaxed. The postal permit requirement is still there, but there are other paths by which a newspaper can qualify.” In October 2012, Lucas County Auditor Anita Lopez sought an opinion from the Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office, which ruled, “[Toledo] Free Press would now qualify as a paper of general circulation.” That year, The Blade’s bid to pub-
lish the delinquent land tax notices was $330,617 and Toledo Free Press’ bid was $86,100. Lopez recommended the 2012 contract be awarded to The Blade, citing Toledo Free Press’ lower circulation in areas such as Neopolis and Curtice. The Lucas County Commissioners, who have the final say, agreed. “For me, this comes down to covering areas,” Lopez said. “I thought it was important to go with the broader circulation because of what we were doing. Our Constitution in our country protects property rights. Property is something sacred in our country. The most important reason why this ad has to occur is to protect property rights. That goes beyond the bottom line dollar. You have to balance that, but when we’re saying, ‘You’re delinquent to the point where we can take your property,’ this becomes the last call to the public to get in here and
pay your taxes. That, to me, is lost in the process. Those were my concerns. That’s important to me as a lawyer. At the end of the day, I have to make my decision based on what I think is best for citizens and stick to my guns.” Hetzel said statewide there are both dailies and weeklies that publish legal notices and awarding such contracts is “a local government decision.” “The first thing they have to establish is if the newspaper that gets it is qualified in the law,” Hetzel said. “Then they have to compare and contrast competing bids and decide what’s going to serve the public best. The theoretical basis of a published notice is that it should be in a publication that is invited into people’s homes, that is wanted and not ignored. Like anything else in life, there are many factors involved that government officials need to consider. It’s not always based on price.” n LAND TAXES CONTINUES ON 11

Press; they would have to pay for it (again) to read it in a daily newspaper.” Lopez said she agreed TFP had addressed the circulation concern and that last year’s numbers showed “good results.” “The numbers speak for themselves. We are saving money,” Lopez said. “It’s very hard to argue with that.” The Village of Ottawa Hills, City of Toledo, City of Sylvania, Monclova Township, Lucas County Metropolitan Housing Authority, Toledo Public Schools, Washtenaw County and Metroparks of Toledo Area have also published legal notices in Toledo Free Press. Lopez said she was approached last year — she declined to say by whom — after the bidding period on the delinquent land tax notices had closed and asked to re-open bidding since only one bid had been submitted, but she said no. “I would like to make it very clear that I was definitely asked to reconsider, asked would I object to re-advertising the bid or allowing this bidding to be reopened last year and I said, ‘No, I think we move forward,’” Lopez said. “We had an eligible paper that met the qualifications, that had met the concerns from 2012. And the numbers had already been made public, so whoever would compete against that bid would know how to lowball them. You just can’t do that. That undermines the entire process
of a public bid.” Recent legislation will bring another change to the publication of legal notices. Starting in March, all notices printed in Ohio newspapers will also be required to be posted on www.PublicNoticesOhio.com, a free website operated by the ONA. The change comes after Kasich signed House Bill 483 in June, which included the ONA-backed measure. ONA has operated PublicNoticesOhio.com for more than 10 years, but posting there hasn’t been mandatory until now, Hetzel said. PublicNoticesOhio.com will replace a state-run site created in 2011. Notices will still be required to be printed in newspapers first, but uploading to the site will be required in order to continue to qualify to publish Ohio public notices. In a June blog post announcing the new online requirement, Hetzel said it may save money for agencies as notices that are required to be published twice may publish a shortened version in print for their second run if the full list will be going online. “It’s good for everyone to have them all aggregated on one website, in the private sector and not a government website,” Hetzel told Toledo Free Press. “We worked hard on that and think it’s for the long-term good of our industry and the public.” O

Employment First Initiative helps find jobs for people with developmental disabilities By Duane Ramsey TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER news@toledofreepress.com
Gov. John Kasich’s Employment First Initiative helps people with developmental disabilities in Lucas County land jobs with local companies. The initiative, created by an executive order signed in March 2012, changed how services are provided to people with developmental disabilities by making it a priority to expand employment opportunities for about 80,000 such individuals in Ohio. The goal of the initiative is to enhance the individual’s self-determination and offer opportunities for greater wealth, quality of life and a sense of self-worth, said John Martin, director of the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD). Lucas County was one of the counties selected by the state to suggest how the initiative will be implemented in the community. The emphasis is focused on job development with area businesses, said Sharon Helle, senior director of board services and supports for the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities (LCDD). “The initiative said we should look at employment first and help prepare them for that. It’s shifting the way we think about things. We are working together, collaborating with businesses and communities on the program,” Helle said. The Employment First Initiative is a rehabilitation program that provides funds to help people in a sheltered workshop or day program to get jobs. The LCDD received a $25,000 grant from the Ohio DODD to support the program in fiscal year 2015. “There are lots of benefits and positive results from this program,” Helle said. Many employers who were having trouble filling entrylevel jobs are finding LCDD’s pool of candidates a solution,
she said. Research has shown that attendance is better and turnover is lower among people with developmental disabilities in the workforce, Helle reported. “They can be a valuable addition to your workforce,” she said. Kevin Tyree works as a merchandise associate at the Best Buy store on Monroe Street. He stocks product, cleans displays, and changes the signs for merchandise in the store. His experiences there have helped him gain confidence to keep branching out. “I’m ready for another job,” Tyree said. “I have put in an application for maintenance work at the Toledo Zoo.” “Diversity and inclusion are part of Best Buy’s culture to provide an open environment for everyone,” said Aaron Haury, general manager of the Monroe Street Best Buy store. “You have to keep an open mind. They must be qualified like any other candidate for hire. It’s about finding the right fit for them. Sales isn’t usually right but stocking product works,” said Haury, who has worked for Best Buy for nine years. More than 200 people in Lucas County have been helped through the efforts of the LCDD working with the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities, Ohio Department of Education, Department of Job and Family Services, Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services and Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission. The LCDD is providing support for 89 people working jobs with local businesses and organizations and 111 people working in small groups at business locations while preparing 14 additional people searching for jobs in the community, Helle said. Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities is a partner agency in the Employment First Initiative with the Ohio DODD. For more information, visit www.ohio employmentfirst.org. O

THE RETIREMENT GUYS
Is your retirement safe?
H
ow many people do you know who have lost money to some unfortunate circumstance, situation or event? We have all heard sad stories of people making fortunes and then losing them overnight. Or, working a lifetime to accumulate a nice nest egg only to lose it or have it severely Mark damaged by theft, Nolan bad spending habits or an illtimed stock market decline. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security. We are not all that far removed from the severe stock market decline of 2008, which caused many poised to retire to change their plans and delay retirement due to lack of sufficient resources after the market crash. The stock market has been
rolling along nicely since then and it is only human nature to not think about the reality that what goes up must eventually come down. The biggest concern The Retirement Guys see while working with those planning their retirement years is that of “outliving my money.” There are several important tips we can offer to help you not CLAIR outlive your money BAKER and to have a better chance at a happy and comfortable retirement. Here are a few: 1. Understand the different types of risk and your tolerance for each. There are many types of risk that can affect retirement, including stock market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, purchasing power risk, etc. n RETIREMENT CONTINUES ON 15

Think about any possible events that could damage any income stream. Plus one: The biggest and most important tip of all is to create and implement a plan (a good one). The Retirement Guys call this good plan The Retirement Game Plan.

planning, etc. The problem is that in many cases the different team members don’t all work together. This can be a classic case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. You may have your investment person, insurance person, attorney, etc., each with a different agenda. At The Retirement Guys we like using what we call the “comprehensive approach.” These many issues have a tendency to overlap. What you do with your investments, taxes, health care planning and estate planning can all have an effect on each other. Factoring as many of these issues as we can into the plan can better help us manage the different types of risk we mentioned earlier. If you can get the different team members and parts of your plan to synchronize, the more likely you are to achieve success. A big key is not procrastinating but rather taking action. Do you have a false sense of security? It is likely that the next big market crash is coming at

HAUNTED HUNTS Collingwood Arts Center offering tours, chance to hunt ghosts.
Kurfis attended a reunion for Mary Manse College graduates and many students from the school once housed in the sottney@toledofreepress.com building shared their stories, including ollingwood Arts Center one of a nun who sits in the balcony. “Apparently they used to always (CAC) has long had a reputation for being haunted, with see someone in the balcony, which many former residents, stu- some of the old residents had told me dents and visitors reporting hearing about as well,” Kurfis said. To capitalize on the creepiness, or seeing unexplainable things. “There are stories about people CAC began offering ghost hunts with being buried in the basement. There local ghost hunter Chris Bores earlier are stories about a nun hanging her- this year. Kurfis connected with Bores after self,” said Interim Executive Director Sarah Kurfis, who has been with CAC he rented the CAC auditorium to for about a year. “I researched this all screen his documentary, “Pursuit of when I started and can’t find anything the Paranormal,” last year. “He came in and was hunting that’s historical on this, but a lot of 3661 Devers_Collision_TFP95_Layout 1 around 8/30/12before 1:28 PM Page 1 his event and said we people have stories.” By Sarah Ottney

had activity here,” she said. Kurfis asked Bores if he’d be interested in leading ghost hunt tours at CAC and he agreed. He has done about one a month since spring and CAC now plans to launch a full series of tours for the Halloween season. Upcoming hunts will be 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sept. 13 and Sept. 27. October hunts will be 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Oct. 4, 11, 12, 17, 18, 24 and 25. Ghost hunts are for ages 18 and older and participants will need to bring ID and sign a waiver. Check-in starts at 7:30 p.m. Doors will lock at 8 p.m. A limited number of tickets are sold per hunt. Cost is $35. If available, tickets at the door are $45. Tickets for the Sept. 27 session will be sold via LivingSocial.
Starting in October, cider and snacks will be provided “to keep you rared up and ready to find more creepy things,” said Lexi Staples, CAC special events coordinator. To kick off the October hunts, Bores will offer a lecture Oct. 3 sharing tips and tricks for novice ghost hunters. Cost is $5. “I’m going to talk about all the evidence we collected here, the tools we use and end by playing a video I got here, a 60-minute conversation edited to 15 minutes, where people will be able to see the interaction with one spirit,” he said. Lecture attendees will get a coupon for $5 off one of CAC’s October ghost hunts. An optional ghost hunt will take place after the lecture from 10
p.m. to 2 a.m. Cost is $35. Free mini ghost tours will also be offered during CAC’s upcoming Food Truck Festival on Sept. 20 at 2:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. CAC historical tours will be offered at 3 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. Full-length ghost hunts always start with an hour-long historical and paranormal tour of CAC, Kurfis said. “After that, it’s kind of a ghost hunting free for all,” she said. “We turn everybody loose in the building and they can do their own independent investigations. Some who are more novice ghost hunters will do the tour, poke around and leave. Others stay all the way up to the end.” n GHOST CONTINUES ON 18

18 Star “The offices and rented studios are locked, but other than that it’s pretty wide open. It’s the first time the building has really been open to the public in the last five or six months. So we get a lot of people who come to the ghost hunt, I think, just to see the building and have tours, too.” Kurfis said she knows ghost hunts aren’t “arty” but she feels they fit CAC’s new mission “to provide an outlet for creative community involvement while preserving a historic space.” Money raised by the ghost tours currently goes to basic operating costs, but Kurfis hopes it will soon be able to go toward capital improvements to save the building. “We’re in a lot better position than we were even a year ago or a few months ago, but we’re still digging ourselves out of a hole caused by mismanagement,” Kurfis said. “One of the tours reported walking across the stage and hearing somebody walking behind them. One of our staff members is taking credit for that. He said he went around the building and told the ghosts to be really active because we’re trying to save the building. He said, ‘If you’re here, we need you to be really super creepy tonight.’” Bores, a Sandusky native who now lives in Toledo, said his favorite place to investigate at CAC is the former nuns’ living quarters on the fourth floor. “I’ve gotten EVT (electronic voice phenomenon) there, voices you don’t hear at the time of the recording but when you play it back, you will hear it,” Bores said. “I was in one of the nuns’
rooms asking what year it was and this older woman, as if very perturbed by my question, just said ‘Jesus.’ Like she was really annoyed by the question.” Bores also said he’s been “attacked” in the basement by “something more malevolent.” “The meter spiked dark red, which means a lot of energy, and I felt a weird tingly sensation at the back of my neck, like needles. Very discomforting,” Bores said. “The only reason that happened was I was kind of provoking it. It told me to get out and I said, ‘Make a noise and I’ll leave.’ It got to the point where I said, ‘OK, we’re leaving.’” Bores said he first got into paranormal investigations about seven years ago, his interest sparked by the TV show “Ghost Hunters.” He specializes in “spirit communication.” He formed a paranormal team called Haunted Investigators in 2006 and gained a YouTube following. His 2013 documentary, “Pursuit of the Paranormal,” includes a 90-minute conversation with a spirit at the St. Augustine Lighthouse in Florida, among the most well-known haunted places in the U.S., Bores said. Bores said he’s been ghost hunting at Collingwood Arts Center all winter and was able to talk to all the residents before freezing temperatures and outdated heating and electrical systems forced an end to the residency program in February. “It seemed like all of them had something weird happen to them,” Bores said. “One guy said he was cleaning up and closing some of the doors in the building and a voice from
the other side of the door said, ‘Get out.’ I haven’t had anything like that happen, but I have heard voices, like someone talking at the end of a corridor and you run down there and there’s no one there and it stops. “Some nights are very quiet, some nights are crazy,” Bores said of the tours. “I just hope they have a good time.” Pat Tansey, CAC founder and longtime unofficial building caretaker, said he’s also had a few unsettling experiences over the years, especially in the early 1980s after the nuns moved out. “In the early years I was pretty much alone, trying to make things work here,” Tansey said. “Being in a building this big all alone, you heard every noise, creak, crack. I might be on the stage alone at night trying to build a platform for a choral performance or graduation ceremony and the lights would be on on the stage but not in the auditorium. “You know how you sometimes look around because you feel like someone’s watching you? That happened to me four or five times. I’d turn the lights on and there’d be nothing there. But pretty soon I’d have that hairraising feeling on the back of my neck. “I don’t know if there’s any truth to it. It’s like the people who say they saw UFOs and no one believes them, but to me that was real.” Private ghost hunt rentals of the CAC are also available. Cost is $350 for the first five hours and $50 for each additional hour. For tickets or more information, visit www.collingwoodartscenter.org or call (419) 244-2787. O

New photography book captures rock, blues stars By Barbara Floyd Special to Toledo Free Press
Were you lucky enough to see Elvis Presley when he performed at the University of Toledo’s Centennial Hall in 1977? How about KISS at the Toledo Sports Arena in the 1980s? Or Bob Dylan at Savage Hall in 1989? Or Richie Havens at the Poe Ditch Festival in Bowling Green in 1975? If you missed any of these amazing musical events, do not worry. John Gibbs Rockwood was there, taking photographs that captured the oncein-a-lifetime moments. Not only was he there, but he was often backstage or in the first few rows, where he was able to capture these performers in candid, up-close shots. More than 150 of Rockwood’s best photographs from the past four de-
cades have been assembled in “Can I Get A Witness,” a recent publication of The University of Toledo Press. “The reason I got up close was because I got a camera. And the reason I got a camera was, of course, so I could get up close. I was never afraid of getting right in the face of the performers, leaning down at their feet to feel the shot. I wanted the lines, the wigs and brims, the tear ducts, the sand, the life story in their faces,” Rockwood said. To get his photographs, Rockwood worked as a driver, roadie and messenger for the musicians, often also becoming a confidant. Not trained as a photographer, Rockwood nevertheless showed considerable skill in framing the expressions of many of the best-known musical stars of the day, and many who were less known
but no less talented. The book of black-and-white images includes not only rock stars, but also many blues and jazz performers: Muddy Waters performing in UT’s Student Union Ingman Room in the 1980s, B.B. King at the Sports Arena in the 1970s and Howlin’ Wolf at Eastern Michigan University in 1973. In addition to working odd jobs for musicians, Rockwood also played with many of them. “John has introduced us to a nearly uncountable number of rock ’n’ roll, blues and jazz musicians, sometimes performing with them, sometimes accompanying them on his camera like a musical instrument. He works in black and white the way Monet worked in pastels,” wrote Walter Salwitz of The Dynatones in the book’s introduction.
Other performers photographed by Rockwood and featured in the book include Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Tiny Tim, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dave Brubeck and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Since most of the photographs
were taken during concerts performed in and around Toledo, “Can I Get A Witness” also captures the history of the musical scene in Northwest Ohio. Rockwood was born in Cleveland, but has lived most of his life in Toledo. He has been a bandleader, a blues singer and a harmonica player who performs under the stage name Johnny “Porkchop” Dupree, fronting the band Voodoo Libido. He estimates he has taken more than 26,000 photographs over the past four decades. He selected his best for this book, which was designed by recent UT graduate Andrew Grady. “Can I Get A Witness” is $22.95 and is available from the UT Press website at utoledopress.com, at the UT Barnes & Noble Bookstore, or by contacting UT Press Director Barbara Floyd at (419) 530-2170.

Night Ranger still motoring By Vicki L. Kroll Toledo Free Press Staff Writer star@toledofreepress.com
Fans of Night Ranger will notice the cover of the new disc, “High Road,” looks familiar. “We wanted to put little bits of our past in there, all the album covers and all the titles. We thought it’d be interesting, kind of like find Waldo or whatever,” drummer and singer Kelly Keagy said and laughed. “It’s fun.” Even more fun is cueing up the CD, which was released in June. On “High Road,” singer and bass player Jack Blades sings: “See the sun come up, it’s a beautiful day to be dreaming.”
“We always try to write songs that are in a positive light,” Keagy said during a call from a tour stop in Detroit. He said he and Blades started writing the song, which was finished thanks to Blades’ son, Colin. With “Knock Knock Never Stop,” the band lives up to its 1983 song: They can still “Rock in America.” “There’s always going to be those songs on Night Ranger albums. We just love those feel-good, party and you’re in your car [songs] because that’s how we got started,” Keagy said. “Music’s supposed to make you feel good, whether it’s just like a melody or whether it’s something it’s saying that catches you.” And there’ll always be a ballad or two on their discs. It was Keagy who
wrote the 1984 monster hit “Sister Christian” for his younger sister who was graduating from high school. “I had the chorus, which is ‘Motoring,’ but the beginning of it, I was singing ‘Sister Christy,’ and the guys were like, ‘What are you singing there?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t really know, I don’t have it all written, Sister Christy,’” he recalled. “And they were like, ‘Christy? We thought you said “Christian.”’ “And then we kind of looked at each other and said, ‘That sounds better.’” Night Ranger — Keagy, Blades, guitarist Brad Gillis, keyboardist Eric Levy and guitarist Keri Kelli — will play a sold-out show at Hollywood Casino Toledo at 9 p.m. Sept. 13. Also taking the stage will be 38 Special. O

Manes flying, hooves sparkling — 15 magnificent, bold horses will
dance and prance Sept. 13 at Huntington Center. By chance, 2014 is the Year of the Horse, according to the Chinese calendar. It’s just by coincidence that Rene
Gasser brought the Gala of the Royal Horses to the States for its American debut eight months ago. “The audiences have been absolutely fantastic,” he said. “The people are so grateful for us to bring these horses to the

United States because usually you only see these in Vienna or Spain or Holland.” Historically, these horses of Europe were associated with nobility. “You’ve got those beautiful Andalusian, Friesian horses, Lipizzaner — it’s that regal look. And when they perform, people just can’t get enough of them,” Gasser said. And the horses turn it on when they gallop into the spotlight. “A lot of people ask me, ‘Do they like performing?’ And oh my God, yes. The audience can actually tell when they watch them,” Gasser said. “The horses are definitely characters.” During a call from a tour stop in Stillwater, Oklahoma, Gasser’s love for the animals was evident. “We have 15 horses on one big trailer and I drive it myself. It’s 53 feet long, and it’s been specially made. It’s got all air-ride suspension, so you can’t feel any bumps in the road,” he said. “And it’s got special vents on it so it’s all nice and cool for them.” Cameras in the trailer allow for constant monitoring of the fourlegged athletes. “They’re the rock stars of the horse world, so we try to give them that treatment,” Gasser said and laughed. Headliners set to perform in Toledo are Lipizzaners Ringo, Mozart, Maestro, Baby, Bona and Bonavista; Friesians Gharred, Armani and Rico; Andalusians Jerano, Quintero, Habano, Bandero and Coco; and the Arabian Marcus. “My family goes back seven generations working with horses,” said Gasser, a riding master who created the show. “The traditional movements for the horses of war all have been for the military, and we are using it for

Gala of Royal Horses the living art. But at the time, all of the movements had a purpose.” He offered an example. “The air above the ground is where the horse goes up on its back legs and he jumps up into the air and kicks out with all four legs. That would be used to, if you were surrounded by your enemy, the horse would actually jump up in the air and kick all its legs out at once and that would make room for you to get away,” Gasser said. That spectacular showstopper is usually performed by Lipizzaners, he added. “Horses are very, very sensible animals. You can’t push [training] on them too hard. If it’s done correct, it’s so beautiful to watch,” Gasser said. “It takes a long time and a lot of energy and patience.” There will be music and flamenco dancers to accompany the display of equine artistry and grace. The Gala of the Royal Horses will take place at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 13 at Huntington Center. Tickets range from $40 to $90. O

Your Tarotgram and Horoscope
Sept. 7 – 13, 2014
Events: Full Moon in Pisces (8th); Mars enters Sagittarius (13th) Aries (March 21-April 19)
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Sunday and Monday can be foggy. You may feel sleepy or too distracted to focus. You’re ready to push hard on Tuesday. Explaining complex ideas in simple ways convinces others to accept changes. Brainstorms lead to breakthroughs. Take your dancing shoes on Saturday.
You’re likely to be jostled by extreme feelings this week. You’ll either love it or loathe it. Try to discover where all this emotion is coming from. The best thinking and discussions take place on Thursday. Continue to steer clear of other peoples’ relationship messes.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
You’re thrust into the public eye and into large groups this week. Pay close attention to social status cues. Discussions on Wednesday and Thursday fire your ambitions and heighten output. Consume in moderation and remain adaptive to changes over the weekend.
Group affiliations define various aspects of your identity. These groups are active and in transition this week. Health and work issues drag some people out of the circle. Others struggle to find their perfect niche. Avoid making assumptions on surface observations.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)Juggling too many jobs and roles can be stressful.
Your imagination is on overdrive as the week begins, especially if you’re prone to superstitions. Engage in productive discussions midweek; people make generous offers. You may bounce between different groups over the weekend. Speedy turnarounds are possible.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. After Wednesday, consider streamlining your identity and resume so you can work smarter, not harder. The weekend offers brilliant connections and superb amenities.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Social and family events draw you out into the world. Vast landscapes and pervasive cultural influences have to be absorbed. Others help you verbalize experiences midweek, as you may struggle to find words for complex emotions. The weekend brings aha moments.
Groups that affect your overall well-being and financial health are tricky to deal with. Power games are afoot; keep tabs on insiders. Special information floats your way on Thursday. Move toward the endgame carefully, because there’s no room for mistakes.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Major transitions are taking place with family and friends. Big plans are afoot, and you’re swamped by a myriad of details and big deadlines. People provide generous assistance midweek and keep you on track with your goals. Enjoy the fruit of your labors on Saturday.
Long-term efforts are in full-flower. Carry out the final tasks that ensure ultimate success. After Wednesday, a deluge of communications strains your ability to focus. On Friday, attention shifts to domestic/family matters and sharing abundant pleasures with loved ones.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
The full moon looms over your closest relationships. Mind and heart can be at odds. Unexpected triggers cause emotional overloads. After Wednesday, a good friend helps you make sense of your inner conflicts. Devise potential plans of action over the weekend.
You belong to many groups, but retain your individuality. Some groups may need fresh members and an updated mandate. Enthusiastic discussions generate lots of ideas. Plans are formalized after Thursday. Weekend events are fantastic, but a bossy person is a turn-off.
