DON LEE

Don’t fear drug testing our youth W

hy are so many people offended by the thought of drug and alcohol testing our youth? If your child is not doing it, then there should be nothing for you to worry about. But many parents are actively against the notion of drug and alcohol testing for teenagers. Many parents cite the Fourth Amendment and say it’s a violation of our underage children’s rights.

When did the rights of children supersede the rights of adults to be parents? Even more so, when did the rights of teenagers supersede the law? It is illegal to drink alcohol before the age of 21 and it is also illegal to use recreational drugs in all states before the age of 21. Then are we providing our kids with the power Dr. Brian Hoeflinger why to go ahead and do these things? Alcohol and drug testing in our schools and at school-related functions is necessary and would greatly curb these illicit activities in our youth. If being caught resulted in a direct consequence then teens would think twice and consider not doing it.

As it stands now, our underage teens are clearly in control and constantly push the limits because they are allowed to do so with few repercussions. We have many adults whose only concern is that the kids’ freedoms to do what they want will be taken away. That attitude is where much of the problem lies.

As a parent, why would you want your underage child to drink alcohol, smoke pot or take drugs? Is there any reasonable positive benefit to any of these activities that we should know? None are good for your health. None promote a healthy lifestye. None are legal for minors. None are good for brain development. The list goes on.

On the other hand, we know that alcohol and drugs are often linked with crime, risk-taking, lying, violent behavior, injury and/or death. I think one can safely say that the risks greatly outweigh the benefit when it comes to drugs, alcohol and our youth. Yet it continues! Which makes me wonder, are there people out there who think alcohol and drugs are beneficial for our teens?

The only logical conclusion that can be drawn about parents who do not want their teenagers to be drug and alcohol tested would be that they either know their kids are doing it and condone the behavior or that they do not want to know if their child is doing it and wish to remain ignorant to the possibility. Lastly, there are parents who are just oblivious to the whole concept of teens, alcohol and drugs. What other logical reasons could there be? Parents need to wake up before it is too late.

My wife and I have already received our wake-up call with the death of our son Brian, who died as a result of a drunk driving accident. He was the drunk driver. From this experience, we have learned that kids are drinking alcohol and smoking pot and they are not letting their parents know.

Don’t think you are above your child not telling you that they are drinking alcohol, smoking pot or taking drugs. n HOEFLINGER CONTINUES ON 4

LIGHTING THE FUSE

Life after Peggy

EDITOR’S NOTE: Peggy Zachel died last week.

I was beginning to think no one would ever type those words; she lived so long and so fiercely that I was beginning to believe she would outlive us all.

This unworthy portrait of her was published in October 2008; nothing about her changed to the very end. I offer these words again because I am unable to process any better ones.

I met Peggy at her house, and she slowly climbed into my car for the short drive to the schoolhouse. As we came upon a place where the path split, she tried to guide me the correct way, but I wasn’t catching on.

Suddenly, the octogenarian reached across the seat, smacked my hands off the steering wheel and began directing the car.

Surprised by her speed and strength, I did not question her authority. eggy Zachel grabbed the steering wheel “Turn right! Right! I need you to be on from my hands the first time I met her that path,” she said, exasperated. and she’s never really given it back.

I worked the brakes and gas while she In July 2003, I was assigned an Adrian story that took me to Zachel’s property in Michael S. miller steered the rest of the way.

“I’ve been in the country all my life,” Seneca Township, near Morenci, Michigan.

Peggy, who was about to turn 85, had dedicated several she admonished. “You city people just don’t do things years to restoring a one-room schoolhouse that stood on like we do.” the farm she and her husband John cultivated. n MILLER CONTINUES ON 4

n HOEFLINGER CONTINUED FROM 3 They don’t want you to know and why would they, since it is illegal. Then I ask you, what harm would random testing for alcohol or drugs cause your kids? Or a better way to look at it would be, what benefit would your teenager get from random testing? It certainly would help deter them from using these substances because random testing would force teens to consider the possibility of getting caught and being reported to their parents as well as to the school. It also would give them a better reason to say no in front of their friends.

Alcohol and drug testing provide a legitimate excuse for teens to say no!

In the end, random testing will undoubtedly save lives.

Again, if your teens are not doing these things then they have nothing to fear.

Yet many parents remain solely focused on the individual’s rights. When you go to an airport, you are screened by security and often searched and patted down.

BRIAN HOEFLINGER This does not seem to stop anyone from flying. When you go to a concert and your bag or purse is stolen, this does not seem to deter people, particularly teens from wanting to go to concerts.

People give up their rights every day for things our society deems necessary. Alcohol and drugs in our youth should be no different. These activities are illegal and yet a majority of teenagers blatantly disregard the law and partake in them. For the parents against testing our youth, I ask you, for instance, where is my right as a person to not have a drunk teenager disrupting a school event such as a football or basketball game? Does the right of the drunk teenager who has drank alcohol illegally supersede my right as a person to watch the game in peace? And what parent thinks it’s OK for a teenager to come to school or a school activity drunk, high or both?

Yes, many parents did these activities when they were young and turned out fine. Does that then make it right for kids today to do the same? How can things ever change for the better with that type of mentality?

And when I say change things for the better, I’m referring to a future without addiction and the senseless violence, injuries and deaths that are directly associated with alcohol and drugs. These injuries and deaths are preventable with change in a forward direction.

Who can argue that point?

When I was a surgical resident in 1993, there were no restrictions on how many hours a resident doctor could work in a week. One week, I logged 147 hours out of a possible 168 hours in the week. I slept about eight hours that entire week. And yet I cared for patients, sometimes alone in the middle of the night. Things have changed since 1993 and we now have a maximum 80-hour workweek for residents. Why did it change? Because of concerns about patient safety and resident abuse. At some point, people spoke out against this practice and things changed.

Changes were made to protect innocent patients from overworked doctors who may have made unintentional mistakes due to lack of sleep. Just because I was trained

in this fashion 20 years ago doesn’t make it right today.

I use this example to illustrate the need for change regarding our youth. Innocent teenagers are being injured and dying every day as a result of alcohol and drugs. We need to stop this practice unless of course you are in favor of the appalling statistics associated with teen injury and death as a direct result of alcohol and drugs.

It’s time for parents, schools, law enforcement, liquor stores, bars and society in general to step in and protect our youth from themselves. They are minors and need guidance. They need firm rules with strict consequences so that they clearly understand it is illegal to use alcohol and drugs at their young age. The law states that drinking alcohol is illegal before age 21.

Why was the age of 21 picked? Because extensive research and statistics have shown that injury and death due to alcohol intoxication sharply decrease after the age of 20. Hence the legal drinking age of 21. We as parents need to reinforce this to our underage children.

But a parent’s influence can only go so far.

Again, kids do not want their parents to know they are drinking and smoking pot. They will hide it and keep it a secret at all costs. Thus a parent’s ability to stop this behavior only goes so far. Schools, liquor stores, bar owners, hosting parents and the media (to name a few) all need to be involved to help take these choices away. Schools need to alcohol and drug test as well as educate students about the dangers of these substances.

Liquor stores and bars need to consistently check IDs and not sell alcohol to minors. Stronger social host laws need to be publicly advocated in the media and set into law. Parents need to keep talking to their children, set a good example for them and enforce the rules at home.

All of these measures are needed to change things from a past that doesn’t work for our teens to a new healthier future for our children.

I would ask all of you to look at drug and alcohol testing for our youth as a positive preventive measure as opposed to a negative invasion of privacy. Drug and alcohol testing is in our teens’ best interest to protect them from what they often lack — a sense of wisdom, foresight and good judgement. Most teens are not mature enough to foresee the immediate and long-term effects of these substances.

We as adults, parents and institutions need to help our youth make better decisions by cracking down on underage alcohol and drug use. In essence, we need to take back control of our youth who so often feel that they are already adults. They want to partake in adult activities which too often result in risk-taking behavior and resultant tragedy.

If you have any doubt in your mind that a teenage alcohol-related tragedy could happen to you, then please read my book, “The Night He Died: The Harsh Reality of Teenage Drinking,” which can be found on Amazon or through our website, www.brianmatters.com. Tragedy does not discriminate and anyone is susceptible when teens drinks alcohol. Please strongly consider what I have written with an open mind. It could be your last reminder before something that could have been prevented happens to your family.

I would ask everyone who reads this to please share it with your friends. The only way we will ever gain control of the alcohol and drug problem in our youth is to hold them accountable for their actions. Alcohol and drug testing is a first positive step in this process. Let’s not let the few people who oppose this idea stop forward progress for everyone. O If you would like to learn more about Brian N. Hoeflinger’s life or read more articles on teenage drinking, please visit our website at www.brianmatters.com.

Looking back at my Daily Telegram description of Peggy, I can see that my admiration and slight intimidation of her mingled from the very beginning: “Zachel’s hair and face bear the strain of squeezing each drop of life out of every day for more than eight decades. But her eyes are focused and clear, reflecting her state of mind. In blue canvas sneakers and a red cotton dress embroidered with flowers, she looks like a Norman Rockwell grandma. But she does not suffer fools lightly — or, more accurately, at all.

“Zachel climbs the concrete stairs with the concentration of a wizened Sherpa navigating Everest. A knobby, polished-wood walking stick supports her. As she opens the door of the oneroom schoolhouse, the brick seems to soften and embrace her presence.”

I spent a few hours with Peggy that day, watching her soften as she walked me through the schoolhouse, which had been painstakingly restored with the help of neighbor Jack Sampson. Walking into the schoolhouse was a time-machine experience. From the late-1800s textbooks to the framed portraits of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the schoolhouse stood as a transporting pocket of rural America.

But as fascinating as the restoration was, it faded as I learned more about Peggy. Everything about her emanates a stability and grace rarely seen in modern people. Peggy pioneered speech therapy in the 1940s, establishing a program in Lenawee County.

She and John are approaching 60 years of marriage, and their children include Alaskan adventurers Robert and Cortland and published author Gretchen.

As our tour of the schoolhouse ended, Peggy sat down for a rest on the bench of a player piano. With a little prompting, she placed a scroll in the ancient music maker and started pumping the pedals, raising a fine ruckus.

After the lengthy article was published, Peggy and I stayed in touch, and I wrote small articles as the schoolhouse neared completion. The restoration of the bell was the last major touch, and by the time Peggy rang it for the first time, more than a year had passed and I considered her to be a great resource of wisdom and guidance.

There are people in life who see things more clearly than the average person, people who have insight and sense on superhuman levels. I do not mean to turn Peggy into a caricature by invoking fictional wizards like Gandalf and Kenobi, but Peggy stands in my mind as hyper-real, someone of supernatural talent and presence.

My wife and I made several trips to the Zachel farm, to watch John herd turkeys and to share meals that consisted only of things he and Peggy grew on the farm. On one visit, as the adults talked, we opened a package of

“

PEGGY ZACHEL

Neither of my sons will know their paternal grandmother, who died more than 10 years ago.

If they can soak in just a few atoms of her spirit, that wise, determined, steady and no-nonsense soul, they will be better men, as I am a better man for knowing her.” dried apple pieces to feed Evan. The snack is 100 percent apple, nothing artificial, and the package makes for easy transportation.

Without saying a word, Peggy went to her kitchen and cut up a farmgrown apple, giving Evan small slices, which he devoured.

“Nothing like the real thing,” she said, and we haven’t bought dried apples since.

Neither of my sons will know their paternal grandmother, who died more than 10 years ago. I know it is unlikely they will have decades to spend around Peggy. But if they can soak in just a few atoms of her spirit, that wise, determined, steady and no-nonsense soul, they will be better men, as I am a better man for knowing her.

A decade into our relationship, I see no need to ask Peggy Zachel to relinquish the wheel; I trust that wherever she drives us will be a good place, a safe place, and all I have to do watch, listen and learn.

Denise McCroskey will attend the upcoming Susan G. Komen Northwest Ohio Toledo Race for the Cure, three years after being diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.

She is one of two women being honored at this year’s event.

“I was so deeply honored and it was a moment I thought, ‘Somebody has paid attention about what I’ve done and the people I’ve tried to help,’” she said. “It really was an important moment for me.”

Diagnosed in October 2011, McCroskey’s battle has involved a mastectomy, five months of chemotherapy, seven weeks of radiation and the drug Herceptin. She said she didn’t think she would survive three years, but when her treatment ended in September 2012, she was cancer-free.

“I knew I was going to be in a fight for my life,” she said. “I had an overwhelming outpouring of support, which really helped me.” n CURE CONTINUES ON 7

n CURE CONTINUED FROM 6 In the past, McCroskey said when she would face hardship, she would put her thoughts in a journal. So the night she was diagnosed, she created a blog, www.hellocourage.com, to help her cope. Through it, she has reached out to women in 132 countries, answering more than 2,500 emails, she said.

“I didn’t know I would be helping McCroskey others but I just started writing,” she said. “Through my writing … people started writing me for hope and encouragement. I found my mission and that’s the biggest thing that got me through.”

She still keeps up with the blog today, which is now paired with an online store for hats, scarves and jewelry.

In memory

Also being honored this year is Linda Key, who died at age 64 in March 2011.

Key was nominated by her former coworkers at Wendt Key Team Realty in Fremont. “[We nominated her because of] her ability to live with cancer rather than die from cancer,” said Cheryl Wendt, coowner of Wendt Key Team Realty.

KEY Key, who was often called “LuLu,” battled breast cancer for 18 years. She was diagnosed three times, most recently in 2008. During her battle, Key participated in Susan G. Komen events. Wendt said Key was humble throughout her time dealing with cancer, something her coworkers remembered when nominating her.

“She would’ve been very excited and happy but at the same time she would’ve been very humble and feel that she wasn’t worthy,” Wendt said.

Advice

McCroskey said her outlook has changed from when she was first diagnosed.

“I equated breast cancer with death. I didn’t have any experience with breast cancer; I didn’t know people with breast cancer [and] the people that I did know had died from breast cancer,” she said. “The advice I give is [that] you have to live literally just hours at a time. It’s so overwhelming sometimes. The biggest thing that often women feel is they want to give up and they feel like they just want to die because it’s so grueling. I tell them those are normal feelings. No family member wants to hear about that. No friends want to hear about that. They tell you [to] stay hopeful, stay positive … and you just want to say ‘I feel like giving up.’ When I tell them that’s normal, that makes them feel better. ... They just need to know that their overwhelming feelings are OK and someone else has felt those feelings.” n CURE CONTINUES ON 8

UT annual event to celebrate banned books

By Russ Axon

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

What do “The Diary of Anne Frank,” Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax” and

the Quran all have in common? All of them can be found on lists of frequently banned books.

Each of them will be celebrated, along with hundreds of other books, at the 17th Annual UT Banned Books

Week Vigil from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 25.

The vigil will feature 12 censorship-themed presentations from community members. Paulette Kilmer, University of Toledo communications professor who heads the event com-

mittee, said she likes to give the presenters free rein.

“I’m only strict that they keep [their presentation] under 20 minutes because I don’t want it to feel like another lecture,” she said. “Otherwise, I encourage them to discuss what they’re passionate about.”

The free event is open to both students and the public. Attendees can also expect games, door prizes, food and music. Additionally, copies of commonly banned or challenged books will be given away throughout the day.

The vigil will be held in the Carl Joseph Reading Room of the library, which is normally a quiet study area.

Kilmer said it’s one of the few times the library is allowed to get noisy.

“One of our goals is to get in as many people as we can so that anyone walking outside can hear us,” she said.

Kilmer said the event is a collaborative effort, and the committee tries to make every year unique. The vigil has opened itself up to other mediums, like comic books, video games and films. Past events have included sitins, a Mark Twain impersonator, and viewings of select “South Park” and “The Simpsons” episodes.

“It’s very special because it’s a unique formula,” Kilmer said. “It combines the fellowship of meeting with the intellectual benefits of listening.”

Almost every department and school at UT, as well as multiple local businesses and community members, have donated either funds or door prizes this year. With all the funds, Kilmer said, she was able to purchase about $1,500 worth of banned books.

“We have more support this year than we have ever gotten,” she said.

“We can make it a better event, and we can make it so that when people come over here they really have fun.”

The vigil is part of the American Library Association’s Banned Books Week, an annual campaign meant to bring awareness to censorship throughout the world and celebrate reading.

“I consider this, as much as anything, a holiday for reading,” Kilmer

TGIF A Catholic healthcare ministry serving Ohio and Kentucky

said. “It’s one time in our busy schedules where we can stop to reflect on what a wonderful gift reading is for all of us.”

Kilmer remembers attending the first vigil when it was held at Thackeray’s Books, a now-closed local bookstore.

Originally, it was a 24-hour event where volunteers would read selections from banned or challenged books.

“It was really KILMER fun. My students and I, we took the graveyard shift, and then we’d go to breakfast afterwards,” she said.

Kilmer helped move the vigil to UT in 2000 and fought to keep it alive.

“It was four or five years that we really struggled,” she said. “Now we’re here with the library, which is where we belong.”

The vigil is very important to Kilmer, who was instilled with a love for reading as a child.

“My mother read books with me and my brother, and then we’d sit on the front porch and talk about the book while we drank lemonade,” Kilmer recalled. “That was one of the best gifts my mom gave me.”

Kilmer hopes everyone who attends the vigil has a great time and takes away a little knowledge.

“I hope they leave thinking about how incredibly fortunate we are to live in a country where we have the right to read and nobody has the right to tell us what we’re going to read,” she said. “The right to read is the right to think freely.”

The Banned Books Week Vigil is on the fifth floor of Carlson Library at UT’s Main Campus, 2801 W. Bancroft St. For more information, visit www. facebook.com/UTBannedBooks. O Toledo Free Press is a sponsor of the vigil and Managing Editor Sarah Ottney is one of the event speakers.

The best way to plan Your Weekend, Toledo

10 Neighborhoods

By Danielle Stanton

Toledo Free Press News Editor dstanton@toledofreepress.com

Residents in Toledo’s Junction neighborhood decided they were going to do something. They weren’t going to stand by while people dumped trash in their vacant lots, renters grew their grass knee-high and kids walked over cracked pavement and broken glass to school.

So they started meeting on porches. They put their heads together and tried to come up with a plan of attack. A community organizer out of Cleveland got wind of their efforts and came over to help.

Then they turned to the City of Toledo’s Department of Neighborhoods and the movement took off. The city brought in lawn mowers, and about 15 young people mowed down the tall grass. That was in 2010, and organizer Alicia Smith hasn’t looked back.

“It’s about the community; it’s

about the youth,” Smith said in regard to her continual push for progress.

She calls their efforts simply the Junction Avenue Project, and it involves many different people from city departments to nonprofit programs to the average citizen. Everybody gives a little bit of elbow grease to revitalize the neighborhood and turn it into a place people want to live.

At a recent neighborhood meeting, which happen every third Monday at the Frederick Douglass Community Association, the Lucas County Land Bank, the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG), Toledo City Council and the Toledo Police Department (TPD) all showed up, not just to give face time, but to actively participate in the improvement of the neighborhood.

The Lucas County Land Bank is working with Smith to funnel money toward removing abandoned homes. n JUNCTION CONTINUES ON 11

A Toledo tradition since 2005 n JUNCTION CONTINUED FROM 10 So far, 100 houses have been razed since about 2012.

Kari Gerwin of TMACOG is working with the neighborhood to increase green space while making more efficient use of storm sewers to combat sewage overflows and flooding.

Smith and others are conducting an early voter registration drive supported by the city in which dozens of people have signed up to vote, and they have a new newsletter to get the word out called “Function in the Junction.”

The neighbors

Oscar Hill has lived in the Junction neighborhood for 22 years and has been coming to the neighborhood meetings for the past eight.

The biggest problem living in the Junction neighborhood, he said, are transient renters who come in for months and leave before Hill and others have any clue as to who

they are. By that time, they’ve let their grass grow wild or they’ve dumped trash.

The goal, he says, is to instill in the people who are “on the move” more pride in their properties and one way to do that is to lead by example.

“Getting people to buy into the pride issue of where they live and being able to sustain it,” that’s the problem, he said.

“We need to stay unified to really get results.”

Harvey Savage, executive director of the MLK Kitchen for the Poor at 650 Vance St., worked with Soul City Boxing Club over the summer to keep neighborhood kids out of trouble.

Savage said the second Saturday of every month is “Dump Day” in the neighborhood to help residents clean up their homes and streets. He agreed with Hill that the biggest problem in the neighborhood is the lack of ownership.

He said residents need to step up and take responsibility. n JUNCTION CONTINUES ON 12

12 Neighborhoods n JUNCTION CONTINUED FROM 11 “The city can’t take care of all the gray spots,” he said. “Citizens need to be a part of that.”

Several residents were upset over ongoing illegal dumping. One man said culprits bring a different couch practically every night to one location at Belmont and Detroit avenues.

“We’ve got rats big enough to wear a field pack. You’d think they’re in the Army,” said one irate resident.

City presence

Paula Hicks-Hudson, president of Toledo City Council, said what the neighborhood needs is enforcement.

“We need more of us to call the mayor’s office,” she told the group assembled Aug. 18. “I share your frustrations.”

As for abandoned houses, HicksHudson said there’s no money in the city’s demolition fund. The money is all in the Lucas County Land Bank fund.

“I’m hoping when we do the budget we’ll put money into demolition,” she said.

The Junction neighborhood is in Hicks-Hudson’s City Council district.

She said during a telephone interview days after the meeting that she fully supports what the residents are trying to do.

“I’m there as a district Councilperson to support them, as a citizen and a representative of them because that’s my district,” she said. “They elected me, therefore I represent them and I want to help in the success of their endeavors.

“That’s what residents should be doing, is taking leadership and selfdetermination as to how the neighborhood should be and what it should look like. I see my role as someone to help them achieve those decisions.”

Hicks-Hudson coordinates information about city resources and brings in city departments to the meetings to discuss solutions. Their issues have evolved from focusing on violence and police response times to illegal dumping, tall grass and rodents.

Hicks-Hudson is concerned about the lack of public transportation and jobs, the dumping that continues to plague the neighborhood and the dearth of public resources to combat vacant homes.

“Sociologists talk about the broken window,” Hicks-Hudson said. “If you allow it to stay broken and don’t fix it, it will [encourage] more disrepair and many of the residents are feeling it’s regressed to the point that their issues are not being addressed or heard. We’ve got these problems, but what is our response to them? They are banding together and becoming a powerful voice that speaks, and making these determinations of what is the No. 1 issue.” n JUNCTION CONTINUES ON 13

Wines for Wishes to benefit Make-A-Wish On Sept. 26, Make-A-Wish Foundation of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana will have its annual Wines for Wishes fundraiser event.

“This will be our 15th year holding this event,” said Callie Cannon of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “It’s a great event that has helped us raise much needed funds to grant wishes to local children with life-threatening medical conditions.

“The last year we held this event was in 2012. We took a hiatus in 2013.”

The fundraiser will take place at a new location this year, Table Forty4 in Downtown Toledo.

“Table Forty4 has graciously donated their upstairs space to host the tasting event. The event is also being

hosted by Treece Investment Advisory Corp., as well as the Make-AWish Young Professionals Advisory Council of Northwest Ohio. We are hoping to raise $8,000, which is the average cost of a wish,” Cannon said.

Wines from four regions will be available for tasting, provided by Heidelberg Distributing. Table Forty4 will provide hors d’oeuvres and Whitty Music will entertain guests all evening, she said.

Wines for Wishes is set for 7-10 p.m. Sept. 26. Tickets are $55 in advance and can be ordered by contacting Cannon at calliec@makeawishohio.org or (877) 206-9474. O — Abigail Woods

Darrington has been literally sifting through trash to look for objects that will help identify those who dump garbage. She called the city three times about a single location, hoping to land some prosecutions.

“I go out and see the dumping and

call the city and get frustrated when I see more dumped. I hate it so much I go out there into the trash,” Darrington said.

“We (the police) get frustrated. We want to be there. We want to catch people.”

In one case, she was able to catch the culprits when a neighbor who witnessed

the dumping agreed to testify in court.

Smith said residents are told to take note of license plate numbers but not pursue when they see illegal dumping.

Darrington will soon move to a different district. She will be replaced by a new community officer for the Junction neighborhood, Officer Jim Below.

Days of Caring

“Dump Day” is by far the largest self-directed event in the Junction neighborhood but the largest sponsored event is the “Days of Caring” by United Way of Greater Toledo, which focuses on youth development and enrichment, Smith said.

On Sept. 12, nearly 2,000 volunteers participated in several painting,

cleaning and landscaping projects meant to spruce up areas, including painting a mural at the Soul City Boxing Club, erecting a welcome sign and weeding, mulching and painting a barrier walkway at the Frederick Douglass Community Association.

United Way also partnered with Live Well through the YMCA and other partners to create safe walkways to school, including creating street islands and installing crosswalks.

This year will mark Toledo’s fourth “Poets” event, but its first in a neighborhood setting with a theme focused on the environment.

“This really fits in with the larger goal of Toledo, which is part of our theme this year,” McIntire said. “There is plenty to talk about there. We wanted to bring attention to the potential in Toledo. We want to go after those things and start fixing them.”

The Sylvania Avenue Neighbors recognize they have plenty of positive assets up and down their notable corridor: a beautiful library, venerable churches, classic restaurants, manufacturing and local homegrown businesses. They also tout its accessibility, and believe everything a resident needs is within walking distance.

“If you look at the arrangement of businesses along there, there’s so much potential,” said Sean Nestor, president of the Phoenix Earth Food Co-op and vice president of the Sylvania Avenue Neighbors. “We have a great street.”

The group benefits from active business leaders mixed in with community members, all focused on the same goal.

“We’re slowly building an identity based on what we already find prevalent in our neighborhood,” Nestor said.

“The goal is to merge culture and local independent businesses and talk together collectively. I think there’s just so much to look forward to.”

Knowing that the arts is one of Toledo’s strengths, the association is also looking at other local entities — like LeSo Gallery on the East Side — and what they’re doing with art and culture. Sylvania Avenue Neighbors is admittedly influenced by similar groups around Toledo. n SYLVANIA CONTINUES ON 16

16 Neighborhoods n SYLVANIA CONTINUED FROM 15 They’re also finding support from Toledo City Council, and hope for increased dialogue regarding the future of Sylvania Avenue. The stretch is distinct in that it spans three City Council districts.

The neighborhood remains both ethnic and blue collar through its innate ties to the old Jeep plant.

Residents include numerous retired Jeep workers and they’re proud of their identity. Many are encouraged to see the former site being developed and reborn.

“It’s great that is happening,” Lyons said. “It’s good for the neighborhood and would be good to have something in close proximity that will supply jobs. There’s always so much stress on blight and jobs, and those things are important, but there’s more to life than that.”

The group owes its beginnings to Sam Melden, a neighborhood resident who has taken the increasingly uncommon approach of simply getting to know his neighbors. In a busy world where people keep to them-

selves more and more, Melden said he realizes his method takes time, but it’s all in an effort to “create a sense of place.”

“You just have to start doing it,” he said. “My personal belief is that the neighborhood is one of the most underutilized assets in our world. Our culture has gone further and further away from it. Any momentum you want to create, you start in a neighborhood. You have to start with what’s already here and build around it.

“We talk all the time how we want to be on offense, not defense. We feel like often there’s not enough conversation. There’s violence all over the place and blight, but then there are opportunities to create something rather than responding to the negative things. We believe in the concept of a neighbor.”

Melden previously served as Food for Thought’s chief thought officer, but recently was named executive director of the Center for Servant Leadership, located right on Sylvania Avenue.

Thus, he now lives and works in the same neighborhood.

The Sylvania Avenue Neighbors trust in their work and insist

it’s critical, as it can strengthen the city’s economy. Another factor it can strengthen — something more difficult to measure — is attitude.

“The way people talk about the city they live in reflects their outlook in life,” McIntire said. “There was all this negativity and I thought, ‘We’re going to drown or we have to reach out and get out of this.’ I have to love where I live to remind myself that there’s hope everywhere.

“It’s that sense of place that drives them. They don’t want to go somewhere else for it. They don’t want to buy it. They don’t want to say their neighborhood doesn’t have it.”

They simply want to create it.

“I want to be a part of creating a neighborhood that is inclusive, welcoming, honest and real,” Melden said.

“There are struggles. I’m not interested in figuring out a way to gentrify a part of Toledo to make it more comfortable for any one group of people. I want it to be an honest expression of everyone in the neighborhood.”

ever since that day back home where he first fell in love with the theater.

“I went and saw ‘Anything Goes’ at Rossford High School, and I was in seventh grade, and from that moment when I saw the show, I went, ‘That’s what I want to do.’”

After finishing at Rossford High, Bennett attended Otterbein University in Westerville to study theater.

But soon, he decided to make the leap of moving out to New York.

“It’s really scary for an 18-year-old to try and make it in the big city. But there is just some underlying comfortability about it that just made me keep going. Because I just knew that’s what I was supposed to do.

“You definitely grow up quick.

And I think I can recommend that to everyone: When you’re 18 years

old, go and live in New York for three months. That’ll show you how the world works, instantly,” Bennett said. “[Living] in New York, in my early 20s, in New York City, [I was] kind of maturing and coming into adulthood in a place where there’s so much stuff to learn from.”

His first major job was a role on the long-running soap “All My Children,” and from there miscellaneous roles on TV and film would follow.

But none have had the staying power of the 2004 comedy “Mean Girls,” where he played Lindsay Lohan’s love interest. Wait, 10 years? Has it really been 10 years?

“Not at all,” Bennett said. “It feels like we just shot it yesterday. And I just can’t believe the reaction that all the fans have had over the years for

the film. It’s incredible.

“There are a few reasons. One, it’s really well done — by [writer] Tina Fey and [producer] Lorne Michaels. They just really know how to do a show. And then number two, everyone can relate to it. No matter what year you are in high school, what grade you are — every high school is the same.”

But now, over a decade later, Bennett is putting all his energy into his run on “Dancing,” competing with his professional partner and fellow “DWTS” rookie Allison Holker. “They called me and asked me if I wanted to be part of the show, and I jumped at the chance. Because I’ve watched the show for years, and I’m really excited to get to be a part of it.” n DANCING CONTINUES ON 19

Carly Kudzia parties with Caillou, gets ready to rock at Sept. 26 event

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

Excited voices emanated from the hallway as 25 students at the Hope Nursery School and Child Care Center in Whitehouse waited to meet Canadian cartoon character Caillou. The kids filed into the room and sat down.

A bit overwhelmed, Carly Kudzia was carried in by her mom, Heather, who was tearing up.

“I don’t usually get this emotional over Caillou,” Heather joked, explaining that the bill of Carly’s ball cap had poked her in the eye. Carly joined her classmates, who were full of questions when the character who loves to daydream appeared. He was quite tall for a 4-year-old.

“Do you think he fits in a car?” one boy asked. “Did his parents drop him off?” “Do you watch ‘Caillou’ on PBS?” Amanda Grimes of DHX Media, “Caillou’s” production company, asked the class. “No, I watch him on TV,” one student replied. “Where are your friends?” another shouted. Caillou was feeling shy and whispered his answers to Grimes. “At daycare like you,” she said. Another student wanted to know: “Why is Caillou so big?” “Because he’s outside the TV,” Grimes answered.

Thanks to Carly, each child had the chance to meet Caillou, have a photo taken with him and receive a gift bag.

The visit was a present from Katie Couric to the 4-year-old to thank her for appearing on the talk show “Katie” July 28. On that episode, Couric paid tribute to Sam Berns, who died in January at age 17. Like Carly, he had progeria. His inspiring attitude about living with the fatal genetic condition was the subject of the HBO documentary “Life According to Sam.” On the program, Heather and Ryan Kudzia talked about the rare disease characterized by rapid aging, along with Brandon and Tina Pickard, who brought their 7-year-old son, Zach. The families were flown to New York City and visited the Statue of Liberty the day before taping the show.

“You know how you see people standing at the airport holding up a sign? They had Carly Kudzia on a sign; that was pretty cool,” Ryan said.

“When Kaylee [Halko] heard that Katie arranged for Zach and his parents to see Queen with Adam Lambert in concert and Carly got to meet Caillou, she just shook her head,” Heather said and laughed. “She then told Carly that if she’s asked again, she’s to say she wants to meet Taylor Swift and take her best friend Kaylee.”

Carly, Kaylee and Zach are three of the 120 children in the world who have the disease, according to Audrey Gordon, president and executive director of the Progeria Research Founda-

tion. Those children are participating in a drug trial through the foundation, the only nonprofit dedicated to treating and finding a cure for progeria.

To help raise funds for the drug trial, the Kudzias have organized the fourth annual Carly’s Party — for the Cure! set for 7 p.m. Sept. 26 at the Pinnacle, 1772 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee.

There’ll auction baskets and raffle items, including sports memorabilia and tickets, as well as appetizers, a cash bar and music by 56Daze. Tickets for the 21 and older event are $30 online at teamCarlyQ.com/events and $35 at the door.

The Halkos are taking this year off from hosting Kaylee’s Course, a run and walk, as they just moved to Perrysburg.

“We’re still working on discovering new drugs because they’re treatments, they’re not cures,” Gordon said. “The more funds we have, the more people we can have working on these projects and the faster we’ll get to the cure.”

Carly’s Party raised about $50,000 last year, Ryan said.

“We’re just super blessed and lucky that we have this community support not only in Whitehouse, but Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan,” he said.

“I can’t go anywhere without someone recognizing Carly or having heard of progeria or lending a hand.

I’m really thankful for that; I’m thankful that — I don’t know if I have the words,” Heather said. O

n DANCING CONTINUED FROM 17 His excitement isn’t even moderately tempered by the fact that, well, he doesn’t really know how to dance. Oh, sure, he’s done musicals and the like over the course of his career, but learning a few steps onstage is a huge step removed from doing a tango in front of a few million people every Monday.

“I have no experience [with

dancing]. I have zero. I have negative experience,” Bennett joked. “Once you’re on the show, then you have to figure out how to dance.”

But in addition to the thrill of competing, Bennett noted how excited he was that folks in his hometown were so fervently behind him.

Rossford residents organized a pep rally to view the show Sept. 15, and he’s been overwhelmed by the support. “I have the most amazing fans

There’s been enough interest in golfing at Fifth Third Field that the Mud Hens have doubled down on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Links at Fifth Third Field, the mini-golf course that will take over the outfield for three days this month, has gone from one 18-hole minicourse to two, said Sports Turf Manager Jake Tyler.

“We were running out of tee times,” Tyler said, laughing, as he and assistant Cory Myers put some finishing touches on the jigsaw puzzle of miniature golf greens in what is normally the Hens’ outfield.

The only downside? There’ll be no 17th hole ending on the pitcher’s mound, as originally planned. Tyler said he and his crew decided to have both courses play the same, and, of course, there’s only one pitcher’s mound.

It’s the first time a minor-league outfield has been turned into a miniature golf course, said Hens’ spokeswoman Andi Roman, and as far as she knows, the first time in any ballpark.

“The idea was all Jake’s,” she said.

“I always thought it would be fun to play golf out here,” Tyler said while lining up starter blocks — made out of baseballs — on one of the holes in left field.

The opportunity itself came out of left field when plans to turn the ball field into a hockey rink for this year’s

Toledo Walleye Winterfest — together with plans already in place to renovate the field anyway — meant “there was about a month that we didn’t have to worry about the condition of the field,” Tyler said.

Work began the day after the last home game: Marking and mowing out the greens, letting the rest of the grass grow out a little, coming up with hazards and baseball-themed in-play features such as an arch made of bats, a base off which to bounce a shot into the cup (or try to, anyway) and a batting helmet through which the ball must go to reach the cup.

Normally, a ball field requires care through the winter to help make it ready for each spring. But a long weekend of minigolf fits in nicely with Tyler’s philosophy of keeping the fans connected with the field.

“Plus, it looks really neat,” he said.

Tee times are $15 per person and include a souvenir golf ball. Part of the proceeds support area charities, including Helping Hens Charitable Fund, the Epilepsy Center of Northwest Ohio, the Boys & Girls Club and Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Tee times are available 6-10 p.m.

Sept. 26; 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 6:30-10 p.m. Sept. 27; and 2-8 p.m. Sept. 28.

Walk-ins will be accommodated when possible all weekend, including starting at 9 a.m. Sept. 28.

Frogtown Regatta showcases regional rowing

By Sarah Ottney TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Each fall, Toledo’s Frogtown Regatta draws hundreds of rowers from across the region to the Maumee River.

Hosted by Toledo Rowing Club (TRC), the 29th annual event will feature high school, adult and corporate rowers from at least 12 clubs in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.

“One reason people like to come here from around the region is they really enjoy the cityscape,” said TRC Executive Director Kristina LattaLandefeld. “It’s also pretty straight so you can get a really fast time.”

The regatta, which is set for 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 27, will feature food trucks, rowing T-shirts from Jupmode and coffee and snacks from Black Kite Coffee. Some of The Docks restaurants will be open as well.

Most of the teams will be set up on the International Park side of the river, but races can be viewed from the Downtown side as well, said event organizer and TRC board member Mike Dibling.

“Toledo is really centrally located for a lot of rowing,” Dibling said. “It’s a once-a-year event that brings a lot of people from out of town, so it’s a good way to showcase the waterfront.”

New this year will be a corporate race, including a team from Owens Corning.

“We’re going to give teams close to 20 hours of coaching and they’ll be able to use our equipment and go out and race,” Latta-Landefeld said. “I look forward to expanding it next year.”

Corporate Development Associate Charles Smith will be part of Owens Corning’s team at Frogtown. Three weeks ago, he knew “not much — bor-

dering on nothing” about rowing, but said it’s been fun to learn and he’s excited to experience Frogtown.

“Rowing is a lot more difficult than I imagined, mostly due to the coordination involved,” Smith said. “You really have to work with everyone else to be in sync. I’m excited to be out there.

It’s cool being out on the water.”

The corporate race was inspired

by Partners in Education’s popular annual Dragon Boat Festival, LattaLandefeld said.

“When you ask Toledoans what they know about rowing, they’re like, ‘Dragon Boats!’” she said.

But the Dragon Boat race is a paddling competition, which is different than rowing.

“Part of [Dragon Boats’] appeal is you can be pretty darn new and get right into it and start doing it right away,” Latta-Landefeld said. “The rowing shells, because they are so narrow and long, it’s much harder to do that. You have to build yourself up.

“But we’ve seen how people come together and get really excited about doing the Dragon Boats,” LattaLandefeld said. “We want to get those folks who are involved once a year to continue to be involved on the water because they clearly love it.”

The regatta is a great way to showcase Toledo’s “treasure,” TRC board member Ed Conn said.

“There are a lot of folks who don’t make use of the river, who just cross it on their way to work,” Conn said.

“We want to get people on the river and rowing, but in a broader sense, it’s an opportunity for us to get people to appreciate it and understand what an incredible asset we have.” n FROGTOWN CONTINUES ON 21

n FROGTOWN CONTINUED FROM 20 Expanding the reach of TRC has been one of Latta-Landefeld’s main goals since taking her role last year.

“Since I’ve come on, I’m seeing there’s a major gap in terms of who has access to the boathouse,” she said.

Rowing is often seen as an elite sport affiliated with private institutions.

“What I’ve been trying to do

is change that image and get more people involved,” she said.

A middle school recreational rowing program started this fall. Maritime Academy, a charter school, is working on starting a team. Her dream is to get Toledo Public Schools involved as well.

Inspired by mentor Jim Reisig, LattaLandefeld is also working on restarting an adaptive rowing program.

Star 21

A Toledo tradition since 2005 “He was in a wheelchair and one of the first international competitive rowers in the U.S., so there’s a strong history here [in Toledo]. But it’s just been stagnant,” Latta-Landefeld said. “We have all these adaptive boats but we haven’t had an adaptive program for a long time.”

Current high school teams include St. John’s Jesuit, St. Francis de Sales, St. Ursula Academy, Notre Dame Academy,

Central Catholic and Anthony Wayne.

Toledo Metropolitan Rowing Club (TMRC) is a high school team comprised of rowers from various schools.

There is also a masters club for adults.

TRC individual memberships cost $55 for the fall season. Members have access to TRC boats and rowing machines.

Latta-Landefeld grew up in East Toledo and was introduced to rowing at St. Ursula. She rowed for Smith College in Massachusetts and coached at Steel City Rowing Club in Pittsburgh before returning to Toledo to work for TRC. “I just fell in love with it,” she said.

“It’s competitive. It tends to draw people who are Type A because you’re always chasing after that perfect stroke, or what’s called swing. It’s like getting in a runner’s high. All you can think about is that next stroke. It’s really cathartic.”

She won’t be at Frogtown because she’s being inducted into Smith’s athletic hall of fame with her rowing teammates for an undefeated season.

“It’s not my accomplishment; it’s

our accomplishment,” Latta-Landefeld said. “That is a big piece of rowing and I don’t think you can say that about too many other sports. Even with other team sports, one person can say, ‘I got the winning goal.’ You can’t do that in rowing.”

Someday Latta-Landefeld hopes to add another boathouse to TRC. “We’re maxed out here and we’re expanding. And that’s a really good problem to have,” she said. “I’d love to have canoes and kayaks for people to rent and bikes to use along the river.

There is so much potential.”

TRC is also hosting the Maumee Bay River Festival noon to 6 p.m. Sept.

28 at International Park with a suggested donation of $5 to benefit Lake Erie Waterkeeper. The third annual event will feature chances to try rowing, canoeing, kayaking, racing boat expo, Sandpiper cruises, live music, tours of a U.S. Coast Guard boat, fishing derby, kids’ activities, regional beer, food vendors and more.

Your Tarotgram and Horoscope

Sept. 21 – 27, 2013

Events: Sun enters Libra (Autumn Equinox), Pluto direct station in Capricorn (22nd); New Moon in Libra (24th), Mercury enters Scorpio (27th) Aries (March 21-April 19)

Libra (September 23-October 22)

You’re on fire with great ideas and inspirations. People you interact with are your creative triggers. After Wednesday, many possibilities and bits of luck flow your way. Strong attractions arise as the weekend begins. Take time to evaluate romantic options.

Your sense of self is redefined by name and title changes, and this strengthens your identity. The muck of other people’s lives bursts to the surface. There’s little patience for that, though. New relationships and desirable opportunities draw you into fresh environments.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Obstacles are transformed this week. You meet the right people to help you eliminate resistance and red-tape boondoggles. Good timing helps you lock into great opportunities. Relief from burdens allows love and sensuality to flow over the weekend.

Hidden matters are fully revealed as the week begins and this can be shocking. Finding the truth is important; midweek discussions provide the full picture. Strong sentiments unify groups to press for certain demands. It may be tough to know where to place loyalties.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Take stock as the week begins. You’ve come a long way since January. Friends have excellent suggestions about new projects and travels. Women discuss common concerns. Inspiration triggers creativity, and new relationships are possible.

Discouraging and problematic issues turn around this week. Luck blooms after Tuesday as you find the right people to help straighten out problems. Women’s support networks are invaluable. There’s a lot to do, but set reasonable limits to avoid exhaustion.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

This week emphasizes harmony and balance in different areas of life. Major career triumphs are possible. Key talks midweek provide a glimpse of the future. After Friday, relationships take center stage. Enjoy intimate moments with someone you love.

The results are in – for better or worse. Distant judges determine the shape of future life. If results are good, pay it forward through kindness to others. Delayed domestic decisions can be evaluated. More details will come soon, so don’t leap into major commitments yet.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

You’re highly productive and lucky this week. Some past struggles are finished, so the pace is less exhausting. You can consider options for future pleasures, travels and new acquisitions. As the weekend arrives, take time to absorb the year’s family and domestic transformations.

Family secrets come into the open and may impact future choices. By midweek, great ideas are flowing. Put things into motion while windows of opportunity are open.

Women feel strongly about certain changes; keep the peace and go along with stated needs.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

You can join with others to produce desired improvements this week. Enthusiasm gives wings to projects in motion.

Everything goes easily through Thursday. Powerful romantic vibes resonate over the weekend and inspire hot connections.

Changes in leadership and group management affect your personal situation. You may benefit from unexpected transitions midweek. Stick close to your support network.

Great possibilities are in sight, but it may take a while for all of the particulars to be settled.

Gorgeous Evvie has a baby face you are sure to fall in love with. The unique white patch around her nose makes her really stand out in the crowd. Evvie was brought into the shelter right after having kittens.

Although all her kittens have been adopted, Evvie has been waiting for a new home since July. Evvie is such a sweetheart; she just might be the new addition your family needs.

Evvie is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations and is microchipped.

Baby Girl is a calm, loving and affectionate 3-year-old dog who was brought to the shelter because her owner could no longer care for her. Although her breed is a bit of a mystery, she is perfect for someone looking for a mid-sized dog. Baby Girl loves playing with other dogs and would do well in a home with them.
