Dynamic experience

I

t’s very likely that you interact on a daily basis with a cold piece of glass or plastic you retrieve dozens of times per day from your pocket or pouch — a relatively tiny outer shell that houses a supercomputer by many standards. Into these smartphones, heartless contraptions that they are, we pour our souls. We post our most intimate thoughts into virtual notepads; we pepper questions at search engines, making inquiries on the ingredients of the contents hidden in the darkest corners of our beings.

These are things we haven’t disclosed, the boxes we’re afraid to open. We tell Google and Yahoo secrets we’ve told no man and no god. We live with great joys and bitter pains — common and irregular issues of life were once shared because we knew we weren’t the only ones. The fact that we’re not alone in trials hasn’t changed; there are many still engaged in the same wars. What has changed though, are the stories we tell ourselves while we’re in the trenches. We believe that we are, in fact, alone. These are the self-inflicted isolations we easily escape to.

Will LUCAS There are many dynamic aspects of the human experience that shape us all in different ways. Depression is currently center stage in our public discourse. The shakened trust some feel toward those sworn to keep us safe and secure. We can be quick to reason these things internally, trusting our own feelings and discounting critical thought. With mere strokes we infect the masses with potentially harmful points of view passed off as thoughtful — yet inarticulately injected via 140 characters. At the same time, life changes for the better.

A baby is born into a loving home. A student passes a test she’s been dreading for weeks. A hero returns. This juxtaposition plays itself out every hour of the day. And without noticing, we easily continue to live only considering what’s on the surface.

On Sept. 18 at the West Toledo YMCA/Start High School Theater, TEDxToledo will again collect the brightest minds and leading thinkers in our area for a day full of ideas worth spreading. Attendees will enjoy new friends and local food trucks; students from Start High School will attend for free to fill unsold seats.

This year’s theme, “Human,” explores the many dynamics of the human experience. From 8:45 a.m. until about 4:30 p.m., more than a dozen speakers will take the stage for 18 minutes or less, having prepared the talk of their lives. They’ve rehearsed. They’ve been frustrated and scrapped ideas. They’ve come to revelations and fresh perspectives about subjects they thought they knew deeply. They’ve learned and they’ve grown. Most of all, they have ideas to share. Ideas that, hopefully, cause us all to consider new ways to approach our daily lives in the best ways.

TEDxToledo, a nonprofit event held under license from TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design), aims to raise the level of conversation in Toledo — literally and figuratively. Our goal is to retarget our energies toward ideas that make a lasting impact. I hope to see you there.

Tickets are available now at TEDxToledo.com. O Will Lucas is CEO and Founder at Classana, CEO and Founder at Creadio and a founding organizer of TEDxToledo.

Bioretention cell planned in Sylvania

I

n partnership with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) and St. Joseph Parish, the City of Sylvania is ready to embark on a project to correct flood plain sedimentation and erosion problems at the westerly end of Harroun Community Park.

In July, the city learned it was successful in obtaining a Surface Water Improvement Fund Joseph grant from the OEPA. The overall cost is estimated to be $106,000, with the OEPA committing over $82,000 toward the project.

The remaining project costs are to be shared between the city and parish.

The location of the project is near the Lathrop House adjacent to the easterly parking lot for St. Joseph Church on Main Street. During rain events, uncontrolled stormwater runoff from the approximately oneacre parking lot flows to the park’s westerly perimeter. Large erosion channels, up to one foot deep, are cut into the side of the embankment as runoff heads down to the bottom of the Ten Mile Creek floodplain.

The large furrows are safety hazards to park users and transport unwanted sediment to the floodplain.

In addition, the city expends resources to restore eroded areas after each significant rainfall.

A bioretention cell, often referred to as a rain garden, has been designed to correct the problem. These facilities are usually implemented in urban developments and are sized to treat the first flush of runoff (0.5 inches or less) for small drainage basins. First-flush runoff accounts for 85 percent of the storm events in Ohio and is most attributed with distributing harmful pollutants to our watersheds.

The surface of the cell, consisting of a 3-inch layer of shredded hardwood mulch, is slightly depressed from its surroundings allowing shallow ponding as water enters the basin. The mulch layer protects the filter bed surface from erosion and creates an organic layer conducive to filtering and degrading pollutants.

The cell surface is planted with specific plants capable of with-

standing both wet and dry conditions. Tickseed, coneflower, red twig dogwood, Washington hawthorn and pussy willow are scheduled to be used in this application. These species of plants have elongated vertical root systems, which can absorb moisture from deep within the cell. As the root systems mature, more water is absorbed by the cell reducing the E. SHAW overall runoff to the flood plain.

As runoff gradually percolates through the mulch layer it is further filtered by an engineered soil mix, usually between 2 feet and 4 feet thick. The mix is thoroughly blended and is comprised of mostly sand, some native soil and decomposed organic matter. Most of the targeted pollutant removal is achieved in this zone with enhanced microbial activity, ion exchange and plant material absorption. Any excess runoff not used by the cell can exit via an underdrain system to a storm sewer or will infiltrate into the surrounding native soils.

Construction is scheduled to begin in October and the rain garden should be complete and in place by the end of the month.

Our sons witnessed people bullrushing the elevators before people in the car had a chance to exit.

They saw people walking by reception buffet areas and scooping out munchies with their bare hands, dropping food and crunching it underfoot without looking back. They saw kids running in the halls, yelling and screaming as if the space outside room 404 were a playground.

Against our better judgment, we took Sean and Evan to the hotel pool to let them splash around and release some energy. There were eight or nine kids, none of them yet teens, none of them with parents, running around the pool’s wet tile borders, indiscriminately throwing a basketball and taking turns diving and cartwheeling into the pool, which was only 5 feet at its deepest. They were also cannonballing into a nearby hot tub, which was barely 4 feet deep and was clearly marked off-limits for anyone younger than 16. They all wore (or had discarded) the reunion T-shirts that seemingly four score other people were wearing in the hotel.

The behavior was appalling, not just for its rudeness, but for its recklessness. We tried to give our kids a small corner to splash in away from the melee, but the other kids began running and jumping in over our boys’ heads, so we soon gathered our kids and left. We talked to them on the way back about the dangerous and rude behavior they had witnessed.

Sean was clearly rattled by the chaos, but Evan seemed as fascinated by the wildness as he was repulsed by it.

Part of our room arrangement was a 24-hour “refreshment center” in the form of a hallway vending machine stocked with water, soda and various candies and chips. We were supplied with a punch key code for the machine, and on the way back to our room, we used the code to get bottles of cold water and two or three

munchie items. Each time we used the code, the number indicating the amount of remaining turns dropped by one — 99, 98, 97. A group of the young reunion revelers were behind us, commenting on how much they wished they could break the machine’s glass to get a bag of Skittles or Cheetos.

It crossed my mind to offer to get them each something, but I would not want a stranger offering my kids a treat, so I took the few items back to our room.

About two hours later, my wife asked me to step back into the hall for more water.

As I approached the machine, the group of kids from earlier fled from me, their hands full of as many chip bags and candy bars as they could carry.

I keyed in the code for the bottle of water and saw the number: 54.

I knew I had not removed 40-plus items from the machine. As I stood there puzzling, two of the kids from the reunion came back, stepped in front of me and punched in their key code.

Which was my exact key code.

They had watched me enter the code and then kept returning to use it, just about emptying the machine.

The access was a courtesy; we were not being charged per item and certainly did not plan to abscond with 50 Twix bars, but I still felt … not angry, but violated in the way one feels when something has been stolen or unfairly taken away.

The next morning, we rose early and tried to get our kids back to the pool before we left. As we passed the vending machine, I noted it was empty.

Arriving at the pool, we were dismayed to see a smaller group of the same kids from the night before were already raising hell. But this time, a hotel employee kept entering the area and ordering them out of the water, telling them they could not be in the pool without a parent. Every time the employee left, the kids literally dove back in. This game lasted about three rounds before one of the kids left and retrieved a

man she identified as her father.

As soon as the employee left, the man exited to an outside area to smoke and use his cellphone, his back to the indoor pool. When he came back inside, he told the kids he had not spent hotel money to leave the bed and hang out at a pool.

Without breaking stride, he left.

By this time, we had our disappointed boys in towels and were heading back to pack up and leave.

Upstairs, we talked to them about the flagrant flouting of rules and open lack of respect for authority and basic manners. I was being a bit hard in my condemnation of the misbehaving kids, desperate to use them as an illustration of worst-case public behavior.

It was Evan who said, “But none of them had a mommy or daddy around.

Who will teach them?”

As we were reminded in subsequent days, even some mommies and daddies do not employ manners and basic civility, but at the time, we focused on the lessons to be learned from the kids we had seen.

As I turned in our room key cards, I saw the celebrated, elderly matriarch and patriarch waiting patiently to have their luggage loaded.

As they waited, reunion T-shirt-clad kids pulled a plant from its vase, ran in circles among guests in line and ran waving food they had pulled from the breakfast service.

They looked sad and slightly mortified, but remained quiet, sanctioning through silence the rude and wild behavior, monarchs to generations of impolite and hazardous people.

I know we are not raising perfect kids, but we are working to raise ones who will recognize the difference between civility and boorishness, between making the occasional wave and drowning in rudeness.

TEDxToledo conference to spread concepts of ‘ human experience’

By Danielle Stanton

Toledo Free Press News Editor dstanton@toledofreepress.com

A group of speakers is preparing to give the “talk of their lives” in 18 minutes or less.

What they will talk about at the third annual TEDxToledo is being closely guarded for the first time in the event’s history, however, and will not be revealed until they appear on stage.

TEDxToledo organizer Will Lucas is keeping this year’s specific topics under wraps and will not disclose what audience members can expect at the daylong conference Sept. 18.

“We don’t reveal the subject matter of the talk until they’re on stage,” Lucas said. “Our goal, in an effort to continue to keep getting better, is to give people a chance to come and witness the event without any preconceived ideals. Come open and ready to learn and share.”

Lucas organized the first TEDxToledo in 2012 with the theme “You Will Do Better.” In 2013, the idea of improving the city continued with the

theme “reIMAGINE.” This year, the roster of 17 speakers will give talks on the theme “Human: Exploring the many dynamics of the human experience.” To view a listing of the speakers, go to www.tedxtoledo.com.

TEDxToledo is the local version of the international TED talks. The acronym stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. TED is a nonprofit dedicated to spreading ideas in the form of short talks (18 minutes or less). Beginning in 1984 as a conference, today it covers a wide range of topics from science to business to global issues, according to its website.

“TED is ... committed to ‘Ideas Worth Spreading,’” said Susan Zimmerman, executive assistant to TED’s curator in New York and a former Toledoan. “Those ideas vary in just about every way imaginable and can be seen in the most far-reaching corners of the globe, from the high-tech Vancouver stage of TED2014 to a chalkboard in a one-room hut in Malawi. ... Our goal: to spark conversation, action and learning.”

The conference is a chance to bring

people together and form connections, Lucas said.

“TED and TEDx events are the only places I know in the world where you can go to a conference and see a CEO sitting next to a farmer, and they are talking about the same thing,” he said. “For a moment in time, they are pushed in the same direction.”

Lucas and his organizing partners, Sam Melden and Molly Luetke, who started planning the event in December, decided to do something different this year based on advice from the international TED organization on ways to enhance their TEDx. In the past, they normally would find speakers and then decide the topics of the talks. For this year’s event, they narrowed down the topics and then went in search of speakers.

“It kind of changed the way we thought. That has really enhanced it this year, “ Luetke said. “Our biggest challenge was to come up with topics.

We wanted new and interesting ideas.

Part of the problem was coming up with a subject that hasn’t been done before.” n TEDx CONTINUES ON 7

n TEDx CONTINUED FROM 6 That’s why organizers brought in another group of about eight people who could help identify topics and find speakers. The group gave great input and fresh ideas, Luetke said, giving organizers a conference with speakers who don’t resemble what would be considered a usual TEDxToledo event.

The speakers — seven women and ten men — come from a broad range of professions and backgrounds.

There are professors, doctors, artists, a CEO and a mom.

“I’m super excited about the line-up and I think that they are people who do wonderful things in the community, but who are not necessarily people who have a platform on a daily basis,” Luetke said.

“Not everyone will agree with the

idea the person has, but that makes for interesting conversation. We’re just hoping it causes further conversation and that’s what TED is all about. I think our speakers this year will really challenge folks.”

TED talks have a reputation for being cutting edge and thought-provoking.

“I’m more excited about these speakers than in the first two years combined and that doesn’t take away from the first two years,” Lucas said.

Maara Fink, clinical professor of law at the University of Toledo, is one of the speakers at this year’s TEDxToledo. According to TEDxToledo guidelines, Fink could not divulge any information on the topic she plans to discuss, but said she was honored the organizers chose her.

“I hadn’t necessarily thought I

would ever be able to be a part of [TEDxToledo] but was certainly honored to have been asked and it was through a wonderful group of folks who put this panel together that felt that I might have something to contribute,” she said.

She knows not everyone will agree with her ideas or see things from her perspective, but she hopes to nudge people’s minds in a way that will allow them to see things in a different light, she said.

“We all think our ideas are interesting and unique and, for me, [the goal is] to define them in a way that’s interesting for a diverse audience and you hope you touch each audience member in some way,” she said.

Organizers selected the theme “Human” was selected after picking out particular topics they wanted to hear.

“I realized that all our ideas for talks seemed to hover around the idea of the human experience, and the name ‘Human’ just came to me during our organizer meeting,” Lucas said.

Back in 2011, Lucas got the idea to organize a TEDx event in Toledo after watching a video of Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford University commencement address, which was linked to the TED website.

At the time, Lucas, with his technology background, felt frustrated by the lack of a technology community in Toledo.

“I was tired of it,” he said. “[I thought] if I can bring that type of energy to Toledo it would raise the level of conversation. That’s why I got involved in it.”

This year’s budget from donations and sponsors is $10,000. That money will pay for the event facility, videographers and other expenses, Lucas said. The event is nonprofit, so all money from ticket sales will go toward the event or be donated.

Last year, money raised was donated to the Young Men and Women of Excellence program at Toledo Public Schools. Speakers are not paid. n TEDx CONTINUES ON 8

Community

n TEDx CONTINUED FROM 7 Speaker Eugenio Mollo, a local attorney, called the process of developing a TEDxToledo talk “challenging.”

As speakers develop their talks, they meet with a TEDxToledo curation committee made up of a marketing representative and theater representative, among others, Mollo said. Each critiqued parts of his speech and give him pointers on how to speak more effectively.

“There’s a lot of support and practice and there’s a lot of effort that goes on behind the scenes of a TEDx,” he said.

As an attorney, most of Mollo’s public speaking experience has come in a courtroom.

“A lot of people think, ‘You’re a lawyer and this comes naturally for you,’ but this is a different environment,” Mollo said. “It’s a different audience and a different presentation style.”

Dr. Matt Roth, a primary care practitioner and physician for the Toledo Walleye hockey team, said he doesn’t necessarily consider himself an expert on any given topic, but was excited and honored to be selected as a TEDxToledo speaker. Although he couldn’t give away details of his topic, Roth said the TEDxToledo team coached him on his presentation and that the conference will be exceptional.

“We each had our individual sessions, but you arrive when the other one is finishing up so you have some overlap ... so you get a little bit of a glimpse of what’s coming,” Roth said. “It definitely encourages me. All these other talks are great and they’re doing good things — a wide variety of different subjects that fall under the human emphasis.”

Tickets to the conference the first year sold out at $100 each. The second year, they were $75 with a buffet lunch included. This year, they’re $49. Organizers figured out if they don’t include lunch, they can reduce ticket prices, Lucas said.

Lunch this year will be offered by local food trucks, which will offer reduced rates, he said.

If area residents find themselves hungering for TEDx talks throughout the year, they won’t have to wait until next year before Toledo hosts another one. New this year, Lucas said he has identified four “community stewards” who will oversee four “mini” TEDxToledo events to be held during the remainder of this year and into the next, Lucas said. Some of this year’s topics could become themes for the mini TEDxToledo talks.

TEDxToledo 2014 is set for 8:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the West Toledo YMCA/Start High School Theater at 2110 Tremainsville Road.

A Toledo tradition since 2005

By Tom Konecny

Toledo Free Press associate editor tkonecny@toledofreepress.com

Lake Erie’s wind current generally pushes any impending water problem eastward, and Toledo officials may want to look closely in that direction at a water monitoring tool now being used near Gibraltar Island.

A new high-tech buoy deployed on Sept. 5 by researchers at Lake Erie’s Stone Laboratory now has the ability, among other things, to monitor levels of green and blue-green algae almost instantaneously.

“Depending on how we track this, if it shows to be a predictive tool, I could see other municipalities purchasing these and deploying them,” said Chris Winslow, associate director for Ohio Sea Grant College Program and Stone Laboratory of The Ohio State University.

Measuring pigments

The buoy and its attached equipment came into Stone Lab’s possession two months ago through donations and grants, but because of the Aug. 2-4 water crisis in Toledo, its staff decided

to take its capabilities one step further and install probes to measure chlorophyll and phycocyanin, pigments that indicate whether they’re seeing good green algae or harmful algae.

“It tangentially does have to do with the water crisis,” Winslow said. “It has a probe that measures water temperature, pH and other factors. But because we knew this was coming, we wrote a grant to buy additional things for that buoy.

The base model was given to us, but because we received that grant, we had the ability to add stuff to it.”

“It’s helping us understand when the bloom reaches out by the island and by how much,” said Justin Chaffin, Stone Laboratory research coordinator. “It’s going to gather scientific information, but will also help people around the islands to know how thick the blooms are.”

Chaffin said data from the new buoy will soon be live on the Web, and one doesn’t need to be a research scientist to interpret the information.

“If you can interpret a graph over time, you can understand it,” Chaffin said.

Cutting-edge technology

The new buoy offers cutting-edge technology, according to Winslow.

It has its own solar panels to provide power to the laser optic reader, cellular uplinks and real-time data upload, all of which offer fine-resolution data every 30 minutes. Its base must be strong enough to withstand harsh Lake Erie weather. It is secured with a concrete block the size of a dinner table and chain links the width of index fingers.

The top of the buoy houses weather sensors that indicate wind speed, wind direction, precipitation and air temperature. Water sensors gauge temperature both at the surface and at one meter down. They can also determine pH level, turbidity (a measure of water cloudiness) and chlorophyll and phycocyanin.

There is no buoy sensor available to measure microcystin, but in most cases when algal blooms appear there is some level of the toxin associated with them. It’s then that the Stone Lab would warn island residents.

The new buoy is the work of Fondriest Environmental near Dayton, which distributes and integrates equipment for natural resource pro-

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com fessionals. According to Winslow, the company’s team is “a big fan of what we do.” Fondriest donated the equipment to Stone Laboratory to help further their research.

“It was a project we worked on last fall,” said Paul Nieberding, Fondriest general manager. “It’s something where we can provide a platform to deploy their research tools from.”

Buoys generally serve a navigational purpose, directing boaters where to go. Scientific buoys are few and far between, mainly due to cost. Winslow said the extra sensors cost around $12,000-$15,000 alone, so combined with the cost of the buoy, anchoring mechanisms and concrete slab, it boosts the total price tag for this entire buoy around $55,000-$65,000.

Buoys also require considerable maintenance: Every three weeks the underwater probes need to be cleaned and calibrated.

As with all buoys, Winslow said the laboratory had to contact the Coast Guard for approval before it could even touch the water, which was part of the reason for the two-month wait.

Island strategy

Most buoys are set near shore, with some close to academic settings, including colleges around the Great Lakes. Stone Laboratory was estab-

lished in 1929 by Ohio State University for research and instruction along Lake Erie, though its work began in other nearby locations in 1895.

Winslow said this new buoy was intentionally put in view of one of their laboratory cameras so they can watch out for it as much as the buoy watches out for them.

The island area’s new tool is one to watch, as all water systems remain connected. Ninety percent of the water in Lake Erie flows there from the Detroit River via Lake Huron, and the rest of it comes from direct precipitation and smaller rivers, according to Chaffin.

“It’s helping us understand when the bloom reaches out by the island and how much,” Chaffin said. “It’s going to gather scientific info, but will also help people around the islands as to how thick the blooms are.”

There are 37 such buoys in all of the Great Lakes combined, with six of them on Lake Erie.

Lake Erie’s bad rap

When the water crisis sprung up overnight, so too did the outcry against all things Lake Erie. If there was already a perception that Lake Erie water was bad or unsafe, it was certainly magnified following the crisis.

Both Winslow and Chaffin said this view is unfair. Before the Envi-

ronmental Protection Agency stepped in, of course, there were many pollutants in the water, but it’s a Great Lake by more than just size alone, they said.

“The reason why we’re green is because we’re so shallow and we have a lot of nutrients, because plants need to grow,” Winslow said.

“We have algae, but algae is the base of the food web. The green you see in Lake Erie is tons of food that feeds tons of organisms and fish.

This is why Lake Erie is the walleye capital of the world.”

Finding the right balance is key, because too much algae creates blooms, which can produce the dreaded microcystin. But since fish love the algae so much, why not simply add more fish to Lake Erie?

Easier said than done, according to Chaffin, who said there are two ways to manage a lake: top-down management and bottom-up management, with plenty of studies abounding on each.

Regarding the former, you can add more fish from the “top” of the food chain, but they will likely eat down the smaller fish and organisms needed to eat algae. The “bottomup method” works by altering the amount of nutrients, and this is how Lake Erie operates.

“We clearly see Lake Erie as a bottom-up system,” Chaffin said.

September 14, 2014 Indeed, not every Great Lake is the same. Lake Michigan and Lake Superior often receive adoration for their natural color and swimming potential, but Lake Erie has its own qualities, too.

“Fifty percent of the water in all the Great Lakes is in Lake Superior, but 2 percent of the living material is there,” Winslow said. “In Lake Erie it’s just about the opposite. We’re battling to keep it productive.”

“I think it’s getting a bad rap now because of the bad blooms,” Chaffin said. “Lake Erie never has been or never will be Lake Michigan, but Lake Michigan will never have the walleye or perch. When you get too much algae it becomes bad, so there’s a tipping point.”

Educational tool

While the original impetus for the new buoy is education, this is the time of year when the bad bacteria rules, and Stone Laboratory plans to monitor it.

“As you get into late summer, that’s when cyanobacteria dominates,” Winslow said. “Now is a good chance that’s when the bad bacteria is around.”

So researchers plan to wait, watch and learn.

“This buoy is going to be an educational tool for us,” Chaffin said. O

City considering demolishing shortened smokestack

By Sarah Ottney

Toledo Free Press Managing Editor sottney@toledofreepress.com

On Sept. 9, the City of Toledo received the approval it sought from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to demolish the rest of the recently shortened smokestack at the former Toledo Edison power plant site in East Toledo.

The 75-foot stack will likely remain for now, but the approval from HUD gives the city the option to demolish it in the future without jeopardizing the HUD grant used to fund the site’s redevelopment project, said Marc Gerdeman, brownfield redevelopment officer with the City of Toledo’s Division of Environmental Services.

“If there’s any future redevelopment at the site, it may be removed, but for now it’s going to stay,” he said. “I don’t really see it being knocked down anytime

soon. We’re keeping it until we hear otherwise from the mayor’s office.”

After two stacks at the site were imploded July 16, the city planned to shorten the remaining stack to about 100 feet. However, the Aug. 29 implosion left the 297-foot stack at around 75 feet instead, including its 48-foot concrete base, said Bill Burkett, city commissioner for economic and business development.

“We knew there was a possibility depending on how that stack fell that there could be some additional damage,” Burkett said Aug. 29. “It looks a little short, we know that.”

Oklahoma-based Dykon Explosive Demolition Corp. was contracted by Cleveland-based B & B Wrecking & Excavating, which was contracted by the City of Toledo to perform the implosion. A week after the implosion, B & B Wrecking returned to the site to even out the remaining brick to a uniform height.

Although the resulting height is

within the project’s planned scope, which called for the stack to end up at 75125 feet, many feel the stack now looks too short, Burkett said.

“The consensus was aesthetically we did not meet the preservation goal of keeping enough brick,” he said. “I

think people thought with 50 feet of brick, aesthetically, it would look more like we were preserving a stack, but with only about 20 feet of brick you kind of lose that preservation effect.”

The city, with input from other groups including the Marina District

Architectural Review Committee and the nearby National Museum of the Great Lakes, is now working to decide whether the leave the stack as it is, turn it into a lighthouse motif, as has been suggested by Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins, or tear it down. O

Royal return

By Jay Hathaway TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

A Toledo restaurant owner recently got the chance to fulfill a dream.

Mahmoud “Mac” Rafati, owner of Mac and Tong’s restaurant, is a native of Jordan, but has lived in the United States for over 50 years. Recently, he had been tussling with the desire to see home one more time. A chance meeting and an unexpected phone call made that a reality.

This summer, Rafati got a call from his son, who lives in Malibu, Calif. To Rafati’s surprise, his son told him King Abdullah II of Jordan was shopping in his organic food store. Seconds later, Rafati and the king were having a conversation.

“I thought my son was joking,” Rafati said. “[Then] I realized I was talking to the King of Jordan. It was a shock.”

The king asked Rafati about himself, and took an interest in his past in Jordan.

“He was very, very nice and polite, as a lot of people from [Jordan] are — hospitable. We talked for about four or five minutes. ... He asked how long it had been since I’d been in the country, and I said ‘54 years.’

“I told him I am three days younger than

his late father, and that my last wish would be to see Jordan again, and I hope I can make it.”

Three days later, Rafati received an email inviting him and his son to Jordan for a week, compliments of the king.

Born and raised in Jerusalem, Rafati joined the Jordanian army when he was 17. At 25, he went to Germany for schooling. After two years studying languages there, he came to the U.S. Rafati found work with an engineering company in Pittsburgh, which led him to a connection that would again alter the course of his life.

“We built a paper mill for Owens-Illinois in Texas,” he said. “I came back up north to [return] to our office in Pittsburgh, but I got lost in Toledo.

It’s a true story. It sounds like a joke, but it’s not.”

Some friends he met at the O-I mill in Dallas convinced him to stay in Toledo. As an added bonus, O-I gave him a job at their Toledo facilities.

Eventually, O-I asked Rafati to work on a few overseas projects. His work took him to the Soviet Union, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Egypt and Ecuador.

While in Toledo, Rafati met his wife, Tong, who was a manager for China Gate restaurant.

After five years of travel, Mac left O-I and he and Tong opened a restaurant, Our Place, located on South Reynolds Road. They ran the popular

For a time, the couple traveled around the West Coast, but in 2006 they felt the pull to return to Toledo, where they opened Mac and Tong’s, in the Ottawa Hills Shopping Center, 4330 W. Central Ave. In August, Rafati, his son and his son’s girlfriend departed to take the king up on his offer.

Upon arrival, they were picked up in a car and taken to visit with the king and queen.

The trio then set out to see the sights, which included traveling to the Dead Sea, the Jordan River and spending a night at a camp in the desert, featuring a feast and full amenities.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Rafati said. “They had everything. Lamb meat, chicken and vegetables. It was great! When dignitaries visit the King of Jordan, they go to this camp, have dinner and see the sunset in the desert.”

Rafati’s group spent the rest of the week visiting other points of interest before returning to the U.S. Now back in Toledo running his restaurant, Rafati said he is invigorated with a renewed love for his native country.

“I have so much pride in my homeland,” he said, his voice cracking with emotion. “I almost forgot about that, living here for so long. It brought back a lot of emotions, a lot of pride.” O

Paddy Jack’s to debut food truck soon Paddy Jack’s plans to debut a food truck soon that will serve 10 of its popular gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches.

The 24-foot truck is wrapped and ready to go, but is waiting for some coolers to be installed, said manager Jennifer Hurst, who estimated the truck will be ready to roll by November.

A food truck was actually the original concept for Paddy Jack’s, but that plan was put on the back burner

when the chance came to acquire a restaurant location.

“Now that we have our two stores up and running, we’re just excited to put it on wheels like our original thought,” Hurst said.

Restaurant locations are 6725 W Central Ave. and 5122 Heatherdowns Blvd. For more information, visit paddyjacks.com. O —­Sarah Ottney

Collingwood Arts Center planning second food truck fest Sept. 20 The Collingwood Arts Center (CAC) is planning its second food truck festival for 2-7 p.m. Sept. 20.

Participating vendors will include Aunt Carla’s Boosh, Chris’ Italian Ice, Bella Dolcetti Bakery, Black Kettle Barbeque, Grumpy’s on the Go, Slammin’ Sammies, The Displaced Chef, On The Move, Toledo Hot Dog, RedRoc Taco Truck and Wanderlust, said CAC Interim Executive Director Sarah Kurfis.

The event will also feature performances from CAC’s Children’s Theater Workshop and other local artists.

Cost is a suggested $2 donation to CAC. Proceeds from beverage sales also go to CAC. Street parking is available near CAC, 2413 Collingwood Blvd., or lot parking at Compass next door. Some seating will be available, but organizers suggest bringing chairs or blankets.

The inaugural CAC food truck fes-

tival, held in July, featured eight food trucks and drew about 1,000 people.

“People thought we timed it with the food truck/mayor controversy, but really we’d been trying to pull that together for a while,” Kurfis said.

Chris Bores of Pursuit of the Paranormal will offer free ghost tours during the festival at 2:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Free historical tours will be offered at 3 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. A T-Town Tassels burlesque show will take place at 9 p.m. Cost is $15 in advance or $20 at the door.

“Come hang out, drink, eat awesome food, support local businesses, support Collingwood Arts Center — and then stay for the burlesque show,” Kurfis said.

By James A. Molnar Toledo Free Press Film Editor jmolnar@toledofreepress.com

The service was impeccable and so was the food. This was not a standard meat and potatoes kind of meal.

Rather, this was the one of the exclusive Chef ’s Table tastings at Final Cut Steak & Seafood restaurant inside Hollywood Casino Toledo.

The tasting, held Aug. 20, paired a nine-course meal with a selection of wines from the Francis Ford Coppola Winery.

Inside the private dining room where the tasting took place were seats for 20 people. The display cases on the walls featured dresses worn by Halle Berry and Toledo native Katie Holmes. The view overlooked the Maumee River with the Downtown skyline in the distance.

The Midwest representative from the winery was on hand to offer insight into each wine and answer questions.

Final Cut chef Aaron Lawson created something unique to pair with each wine. A foie gras custard and pork belly paired with the glass of sauvignon blanc. A butter poached rock

lobster with popcorn gelée paired with the zinfandel.

View a photo gallery of all of the pairings at ToledoFreePress.com.

The next Chef ’s Table is scheduled for 6 p.m. Oct. 15 and will be paired with Moët Champagne. Wines, all part of the Moët House, will include Moët Champagne, Dom Pérignon Champagne and Chandon Still Wines.

Those interested in the Oct. 15 tasting can contact Final Cut manager and wine sommelier Sunwoo Choi at (419) 661-5381 or sunwoo.choi@ pngaming.com. O

Mancy’s Steaks interior renovation nearing completion

By Sarah Ottney Toledo Free Press Managing Editor sottney@toledofreepress.com

The bang of hammers and whir of saws filled the air at Mancy’s Steaks on Sept. 4 as a planned two-month restoration reached its peak.

The project is the first extensive renovation at the restaurant since it opened at its current location in 1974.

“We haven’t really touched it since,” said owner Gus Mancy, whose grandfather opened the steakhouse in 1921.

“Now it’s time to freshen the place up.”

The finished restaurant will feature a renovated foyer, restored wood from floor to ceiling, restored original tin ceilings, new carpeting, tables, chairs, booths and restrooms, upgraded lighting, the addition of a second fireplace and more private dining options.

“It’s not really a remodel as much as it is a restoration,” Mancy said.

“We’re restoring a very beautiful restaurant. Our goal is to make it better.

It’s been a fun project.”

Track lighting being added will “put a soft glow on each and every table,” Mancy said. But don’t worry: “People say, ‘Don’t get rid of the Tiffany shades!’” he said. “We’re not.”

The walls surrounding a private table in the foyer were removed, opening the front entrance room.

A fireplace was added to the dining room facing Phillips Avenue to help accommodate guest requests to be seated in the Fireplace Room, Mancy said.

The Phillips-facing dining room will also become a little more casual, featuring butcher-block tables, taupe tablecloths and a wine closet next to the new fireplace, Mancy said.

“The music might be a little louder in here, just a little bit more casual to appeal to a younger demographic, while the main dining room will maintain the pure white tablecloths and a touch more formal feel,” Mancy said.

Work started Aug. 1. The restaurant was closed Aug. 30-Sept 5 for the most extensive portion of the work on the entryway and foyer. Work will continue for a few more weeks.

Mancy worked with Columbusbased design firm Design Collective, which specializes in restaurant and hotel design, on the project. The company also designed Mancy’s Bluewater Grille and Shorty’s True American Roadhouse, two other Mancy’s Restaurant Group properties.

“They are doing an awesome job for us,” Mancy said. “They have designed

some of the best steakhouses in the Midwest and have been great to work with.”

Mancy’s Steaks was originally located where its parking lot is now, but the building was destroyed by fire in 1973. It reopened next door in its current location. Portions of the exterior were renovated last year, including a

new canopy over the entrance.

“We’re definitely a destination restaurant,” Mancy said. “We’d love for you to come and check it out. Hopefully it will feel even more comfortable and people will come away happy with the ambience, the food and service.”

Seniors 29

A Toledo tradition since 2005

By Chase Will

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

The Village Players’ production of “Quartet” aims to change your perception of senior citizens.

The comedic drama follows four retired opera singers who must deal with the harsh realities of aging when an exwife shows up and causes friction.

“It’s a really beautiful play about growing old with dignity, which is really what drew me to it,” said director Jeff Albright.

“I have older parents, and I’ve always been interested in that whole process as I’m going through it with them,” Albright said. “We often throw senior citizens to the wayside as a forgotten population, and this play really shows

how vital they can be.”

According to Albright, Toledo has a rich population of older actors who don’t get enough opportunities to showcase their abilities.

Carol Ann Erford plays Cecily, a character in the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s. Erford said that although Cecily serves as comic relief, she’s a very layered character who can move audiences to tears as quickly as laughter.

“It’s wonderful to see how these older characters react to each other,” Erford said. “Audiences will see bits and pieces of themselves and their parents in these roles, especially those approaching mature age.”

Erford claims that her passion for acting began in the ’60s, when there weren’t nearly as many performance op-

Here’s what YOU can do as a Senior Medicare Patrol volunteer: • Put your experience and skills to work • Learn how to spot Medicare scams and errors • Educate & empower consumers

portunities for younger actors.

“It was ensemble learning back then, which comes in handy with a show like this because if one person gets hung up on a line, someone else can jump in and save them,” Erford said.

An interesting challenge for John DuVall, who plays Reginald Paget, is portraying a character 30 years outside his range.

“It’s a new thing for me. I think the majority of it is through body language and facial expressions,” DuVall said.

“It’s all elevated by makeup, but we really don’t rely too heavily on that.”

DuVall said the play explores how no senior citizen is just another face in the crowd, and how everyone you see has an interesting story to tell about their life.

“You’re not always an old person. Everyone has a history, and this play talks a lot about that. For me, as a younger actor playing someone so old, it really made me think,” DuVall said.

With 30 years of directing experience, Albright finds his equal passion for acting gives him an advantage with his cast.

“It helps because we all speak the same sort of language, so there’s a level of intuitiveness about the process,” Albright said.

“Quartet” plays Sept. 12-13 and 18-20 at 8 p.m. and Sept. 14 at 2 p.m.

The Village Players Theatre is located at 2740 Upton Ave. Tickets are available at (419) 472-6817 for $16, or $14 for students and seniors. O

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

For genuine care for your loved one,

Even though she is a journalist and blogger, Jennifer S. White got her first smartphone less than a year ago. She is still not used to it and warns people she might mute the conversation with the side of her face.

“I’m 34 but I feel like 99,” she said.

Many things, including smartphones, provide convenience. But with that comes the challenge of taking a healthier, possibly less convenient route, something White faces daily.

“If I have a car and I can drive there, why the hell would I walk?” she said. “We have everything at the touch of our fingers and it’s hard to force ourselves to slow down and remember that the biggest changes in our lives come from small, tiny tortoise-like steps toward growth. I think it can be overwhelming for people.”

White, a former Toledo Free Press columnist, wrote about this and more in her self-published book “The Best Day of Your Life: A Guide to Transforming the Ordinary into the Extraordinary,” available on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble. The book discusses everyday practices to help readers reset a bad mood, beat stress, overcome loneliness, deal with anger and more. White said the intention is for readers to first read the book in full but then go back and work on specifics “one step, one day, one moment at a time.”

She said trying to put the practices in place can be challenging.

“I wanted the book to be a personal tool,” White said. “If you’re having a day where you’re feeling angry or frustrated, there’s a chapter you might want to read. n BEST DAY CONTINUES ON 31

n BEST DAY CONTINUED FROM 30 “Or if you’re having a day where you’re feeling lonely or kind of depressed, there’s [another] chapter you might want to read.”

White has been a yoga practitioner for more than 20 years. She said she hated the first class she took.

“I was so bored,” she said. “But I think, over time, if you stick with the ac-

tual physical practice of it, the mindfulness kind of comes into it.”

In her first chapter, “Make Every Day Your Best Day,” White says there are many ways of practicing yoga — while riding a bike, taking a scenic walk or eating breakfast — by just focusing on breathing.

“The idea of practicing yoga on a mat is maybe even sexy and kind of fun with cute clothes, but it’s really

about being present in ourselves,” she said. “Even though this is not a yoga book at all, it’s very yoga-flavored and that is also unintentional. [Yoga] becomes a part of who you are.”

White said she caught herself focusing on her breathing when she recently got into a car accident with her 4-year-old daughter, Gemma. “[I was] just trying to stay present with the situation at hand and that’s

something that when you practice a lot physically, it comes to you naturally, I believe,” she said.

White said everything she writes is for Gemma, including this book.

“My writing changed and took on a new avenue after I had her,” she said.

“As a parent … what I want for my child is for her to be confident and happy in herself and her life.”

White said her writing became more

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com

September 14, 2014

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Reece Bova was not quite a year old when his parents were told he wouldn’t live to see his fifth birthday, that his heart would fail and there was nothing else to be done.

Refusing to accept that prognosis, Matt and Shannon Bova of South Toledo set out to find a doctor who would treat their son.

“We were told there was no one — no doctor, no hospital — who could help us, that the procedures he would need were too dangerous, that the risk far outweighed the reward,” said Shannon, 31, a Bowsher High School graduate and former Toledo Free Press employee. “We as his parents obviously were not happy with that response.”

The Bovas, who lived in Tennessee when Reece was born, sent his records to pediatric heart centers nationwide and were turned down by all but one.

They now travel to Boston Children’s Hospital a few times a year so Reece, now 2, can undergo a procedure that uses balloon catheters to temporarily widen the too-small arteries in his lungs, so his heart doesn’t have to work so hard pumping blood to his lungs.

“Because the arteries are so small, they can only dilate them so much,” Shannon said. “And once the arteries are opened a bit, they can begin closing again.

“The reason why they said it’s so risky

and dangerous is because the arteries are so small that they are at risk of rupturing if they dilate them too much. If they do that, then he starts bleeding into his lungs and you may not always be able to stop the bleeding in the lungs. Obviously if your lungs fill with blood and they can’t stop it, then that’s it.”

The Bovas moved back to Toledo about a year after Reece was born to be closer to family.

Reece will likely need the arterywidening procedure for the rest of his life, but doctors are hopeful the frequency can be reduced.

“The analogy they gave us was if you take a balloon out of a package, it’s really stiff. The more you blow that balloon up and let the air out, it’s going to be stretched a little bit, and hopefully it will stay open longer,” Shannon said.

“The hope is we can do these every six months for a couple of years and then he may not need them as often, maybe once a year, maybe once every two years. We’re not there yet, so we don’t know, but we do know his body responds well to the treatment.”

Run for Reece to help local family with medical bills

The diagnosis

Reece was born with a congenital heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot with severe peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis.

He is not a candidate for a heart transplant because of his lungs and isn’t eligible for a lung transplant because of his heart. He was also born with only one kidney. n REECE CONTINUES ON 33

n REECE CONTINUED FROM 32 Shannon had no indication during her pregnancy that anything was wrong. But when Reece was born in March 2012, he was “silent, limp and blue,” she said.

“It was probably three minutes that passed and we finally heard him cry,” she said. “They initially thought the birth had maybe just stunned him a little bit and he would spend the night in the NICU and be fine. But he didn’t

improve. That’s when they brought in the pediatric cardiologist.

“He was born at 9:23 at night and I would say by midnight we were in a tiny little conference room with the cardiologist, bawling our eyes out,” Shannon said. “We went to the hospital that day thinking we were going to experience happiness and everyone taking pictures; instead we experienced something much different. We experienced fear, the unknown.”

The new parents were told Reece

Community 33

A Toledo tradition since 2005 had Tetralogy of Fallot, a series of four anatomical abnormalities.

“I was kind of numb at first,” said Matt, 30, a native of Dublin, Ohio.

“It didn’t really sink in. I didn’t know what to think or what was going to happen down the road. Just the unknown was kind of scaring me at that point. All we knew was we had to take it day by day.”

The day after Reece was born, he was transferred to a children’s hospital in Atlanta where he spent 17 days in

the NICU. He had a shunt placed in his heart at 6 months old and open heart surgery in December 2012 before his first birthday.

Doctors were puzzled when Reece didn’t show the improvements they expected after his open heart surgery and the Bovas were soon presented with more bad news.

“Typically kids with Tetralogy have their repair and grow up to lead fairly normal lives,” Shannon said.

“Shaun White the snowboarder has tetralogy. There’s a couple of NFL football players. Things would be much different right now if it was only the heart.”

In February 2013 doctors discovered Reece also had severe peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis, a condition in which the arteries in his lungs are too small, putting pressure on the heart.

“That was the day they told us that

he would not survive to see his fifth birthday,” Shannon said.

Run for Reece

To help the family with medical costs, Shannon’s mother, Kathy Phillips, and sister, Jenna Phillips, 18, both of Maumee, have organized a nighttime 5K and one-mile fun walk fundraiser.

Run for Reece will take place at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 4 at Woodlands Park in Perrysburg, followed by a glowin-the-dark afterparty. Cost is $25 in advance or $30 at the race. The race will not be timed and family-friendly events are planned. The organizers are also looking for corporate sponsors.

Money raised will go toward paying off existing medical bills and future trips to Boston Children’s Hospital.

Reece’s next treatment will be in November or December, Shannon said. n REECE CONTINUES ON 34

“He’s my beautiful little nephew. I wouldn’t trade him for the world,” said Jenna, a recent Maumee High School graduate now studying nursing at Mercy College. “It’s just hard as family to sit back and listen to all the money worries and everything. We just wanted to help.”

Another way to help is to bring the flier found at the Facebook page “Run for Reece” to the Applebee’s at 531 W. Dussel Drive in Maumee on Sept. 17 to have 15 percent of your bill donated to Run for Reece. Participants will also get a $5 coupon for their next visit.

Progress

Because of his heart and lung conditions, Reece also has numerous developmental delays. He started crawling around 18 months and only recently started walking. He doesn’t talk yet and

is still bottle-fed — apparently scared to eat after so many intubations during hospital stays, Shannon said.

He sees a physical therapist to work on his gross motor skills, an occupational therapist to help him learn to eat and a speech therapist to help him talk.

Frustratingly, one step forward medically often results in two steps back developmentally, Shannon said.

“From spending time in the hospital, you saw his muscles weaken a little bit so his mobility is not as good or just when we saw him start opening his mouth for a spoon, he went to the hospital and was intubated and came back wanting nothing to do with it,” Shannon said.

Matt and Shannon said they sometimes find it difficult to see other kids Reece’s age reach milestones he still struggles to attain, but then they remind themselves of everything he’s gone through and how far he’s come. “[I feel] anger, jealousy, sadness, knowing that we are so far behind that,” Shannon said. “But then in

the same breath, I think, ‘Well, you know what? Those kids have not had open heart surgery and have not been given the prognosis he was given.’”

“I just want to see him be a typical kid, just doing regular things like playing sports, playing in the grass, talking, eating food — all the things a lot of parents take for granted because their kids just start doing it on

their own,” Matt said. “Just those little things are big for us.”

In other ways, Reece is like any other toddler. He loves watching cartoons, jumping on trampolines and “getting into things,” like any new walker, Shannon said.

“He’s made a significant amount of progress, but I would be lying if I said there wasn’t still a lot of fear of the future. Because while we know

he responds well to the treatment, at any time something could change,” Shannon said.

“At any time his heart could decide that it’s been working too hard and it doesn’t want to anymore. We’re trying to make that not happen by making these trips to Boston and continuing to be his biggest advocate.”

You could list every hospital in the country that’s received The Joint Commission’s asthma certification in a single breath.

There are only six. Six hospitals in the entire country that have earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for asthma disease management. And ProMedica Toledo Children’s Hospital is one of them.

We received this honor because we are dedicated to asthma treatment in a variety of ways, from nationally recognized specialists to education programs to a children’s ER built and staffed to deal with asthma emergencies. Diagnosis, treatment, education, support – it’s all connected at ProMedica.

For more on this and other ProMedica services, go to promedica.org/wellconnected.
