The Cowboys are dead; Long live the Cowboys

A bad start S

he is a 14-term representative who has been nearly bulletproof during two decades of campaigning. He is a local businessman running for his first public office.

So the debate between Marcy Kaptur and Rich Iott should be an inexhaustible fountain of facts, ideas and civil discourse, right?

Not so far.

Kaptur’s “Sorry we’re closed” ad, which began airing after the first week of September, made claims that have been disputed and disproved. Iott “took over Food Town from his father” and “ran it straight into the ground,” the ad said. Not only did the Iott campaign immediately denounce the comments as “blatant lies,” the website factcheck.org published a report that discredited those statements.

IOTT It has been established Thomas F. POUNDS that Iott’s father Wally remained involved in the business after its merger with Spartan and according to an Oct. 3 report in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, “From 1994 to 1998, earnings catapulted 300 percent on revenues that increased only 14 percent during the same period.”

There are former (and current) Food Town employees speaking out on both sides of the issue, but the facts do not seem flawed.

KAPTUR The ad is not a dignified way for someone of Kaptur’s stature to begin a campaign.

Not that the Iott camp has been saintly. Its news release on a recent guilty plea by “pay to play” lobbyist and Kaptur supporter Paul Magliocchetti was peppered with words such as “hustler,” “corrupt” and “gross misuse,” although credit it for mentioning that “one investigation, conducted by the Democratic Party majority in the House, was wrapped up with no findings of wrongdoing by Kaptur.”

Of course a race this contested is going to bring some rhetorical heat and the occasional handful of mud, but the foundation of this very important debate should center on what the next steps to recovery are, not character assassination.

The Oct. 11 Toledo Free Press/FOX Toledo debate, presented by Leadership Toledo, will be an opportunity to focus the discussion and give the candidates a chance to demonstrate why they deserve to serve District 9. Judging by the early requests for tickets, which will be available Oct. 1, there is a tremendous amount of interest in this race and there are a great many people on both sides of the political divide paying close attention.

It may be naïve to hope that the conversation will rise to a higher level between then and now, but a dash of optimism is a healthy thing, even during the most cynical of enterprises.

Politics — the final arbiter

e often hear our elected leaders say we need to think outside the box when confronted with difficult problems.

But what does such a box look like and how do you construct a problem-solving process that results in innovative solutions?

School board president Bob Vasquez is the latest to jump on the outside-the-box bandwagon with the suggestion that he needs a “blue ribbon� committee to solve the problems of Toledo Public Schools (TPS) with revolutionary ideas.

Vasquez told Toledo Free Press recently, “We talked about online classrooms. The superintendent, Mr. Foley, had to share a certain number of hours [teachers] have to have with students face-to-face.

I didn’t know that and I’m sure the general public doesn’t know that.�

TPS’ former superintendent apSteven pears to have constructed a box around Vasquez that he has accepted as doctrine.

But, a review of the Ohio Revised Code and consultation with officials of the Ohio Department of Education found no such face-to-face student-teacher time requirements.

Contrary to Vasquez’s statements, in a traditional public school setting both virtual classes and schools can be used as educational alterna-

tives for instructional delivery.

Just down the road in Columbus, the public school system has taken up the challenge and integrated virtual learning, albeit in limited ways. Columbus City Schools operates a Virtual Credit Advancement Program, providing a range of high school course materials. Virtual courses are accepted for full credit by the Columbus City Schools and students can take these online courses concurrently with courses at a traditional public high school.

Virtual educational technology has the potential to revolutionize how students learn!

Implementation of virtual technology in TPS schools along with the use of off-the-shelf software could produce major productivity improvements.

Fewer teachers would be needed FLAGG for the same student population.

Fewer administrators would be needed to oversee the smaller teaching and support staffs. The resulting cost of education to the taxpayer would decline. Of course, this would awaken the bureaucracy’s self-preservation instincts and likely result in TPS officials and union leadership opposing virtual technology with vigor.

School board members, many of whom covet

higher office, don’t have incentives to pursue such efforts. It would upset the apple cart containing the campaign donations, endorsements and volunteers needed to attain their next office.

TPS board members should provide oversight. When Vasquez was presented with the roadblocks to using virtual technology, why did he not ask the key questions: What are the requirements? Can we change them or get an exemption? If not, how can we take advantage of the technologies and stay within state statutes?

So the box constraining progress is not state education laws and regulations, but appears to be union contracts, politics centered on the interests of employees and lack of effective oversight by the board.

I have often discussed and written about using technology, especially at the high school level, as a way to expand the limited course offerings at some TPS schools, assure advanced placement classes are available to all students and supplement and enhance student learning through off-the-shelf software. These ideas just expand on the Columbus program and integrate technology more completely and effectively into the learning environment.

Honor students and those taking advanced placement tests could take virtual courses at

home, in a traditional public school or a community center. Learning is where you challenge your mind and it is not restricted to a seat in a classroom of a traditional public school.

The opportunities for virtual technology are endless if we are serious about practicing outside-the-box thinking.

Vasquez says he is looking for this revolutionary kind of change while creating a sustainable financial foundation. Yet his approach is anything but outside the box. He brings the same people to the same round table and claims he can reform the educational bureaucracy whose purpose is to maintain the status quo.

With the presence of politicians around the table, Vasquez has assured that politics will be the final arbiter of the solutions proposed.

Where are the independent outside-the-box thinkers who would demand the facts, ask why not and challenge the bureaucracy with innovative solutions?

Vasquez seems like so many of our leaders.

They live their lives so far inside the box of politics that they don’t want or can’t see the box that constrains the real innovation and progress they claim to seek.

Steven Flagg is an education advocate and has been involved with education reform in Toledo for more than 15 years.

Edward drummond libbey high school opened in 1923. its last Class graduated in June 2010. the immediate fate of the building is unknown, but roof and water damage is extensive.

Alumni strive to keep Libbey’s ‘Cowboy spirit’ alive

By Kristen Rapin

Toledo Free Press Special Sections Editor krapin@toledofreepress.com

For Gayle Schaber, going to work at Libbey High School has been like “going to the same funeral every day for four months.”

Schaber, who is the former director of Libbey, has been completing inventory, moving student records and maintaining the building for one last alumni visit since the school closed in June.

The floor is gathering dust as boxes of books wait to be placed in storage and other usable items are sent to Scott, Waite and

Bowsher high schools — schools former Libbey students now attend. Metal bars lock doors and trophy cases are being emptied.

Items that remain in the building, such as student artwork, desks and storage units, will be sold at an auction; that date has not been set.

As for the fate of Libbey’s structure, it has not yet been determined. The building will remain standing until the Toledo Public Schools (TPS) Board of Education votes on what to do with it.

Looking back

Edward Drummond Libbey High School, named for the

founder of Libbey Glass, opened in 1923.

During its 87 years, approximately 35,000 students graduated from Libbey, Schaber said.

In May, when the TPS board voted to close Libbey 3-2, the school had roughly 500 students enrolled. Libbey was built with a capacity for 2,000 students, but during its peak enrollment in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the high school had 3,000 students, Schaber said. During that time, split sessions were necessary to relieve overcrowding. Some students attended early while others later, she said. n LIBBEY CONTINUES ON A7

Reclaiming Life after Cancer Having cancer is a life-changing experience. Even after treatment, cancer survivors need support to return to a normal, daily life.

Here are a few ways you can reclaim your life after cancer: • Make the most of follow-up care.

Work with your doctor to develop a care plan based on his/her expertise on cancer and general medicine.

Share any symptoms, pain or questions you have.

• Take advantage of the joys of life, including good diet, exercise, relaxation, and complementary care.

• Be easy on yourself. It’s OK for you to grieve the loss you’ve had and to have “bad days” like everybody else.

• Find a supportive network. Talk with family members, friends and other survivors about the challenges you face. The need for support may last a lifetime.

This month, ProMedica Cancer Institute debuts its survivor center, where a medical oncologist and a nurse practitioner work with patients to create a follow-up care plan that is unique to your physical, social and emotional needs. Other support services – such as genetic counseling, educational seminars, complementary therapies, support groups, and social work support – are also available. For more information, call 877-291-1441.

Cowboy, Cowgirl spirit

For many Libbey alumni, memories of their time in high school live on.

“If there are four years I could live over again, my time at Libbey would be it,” said Orris Tabner, former sports director for WTOL-11 and 1950 graduate.

During his time at Libbey, Tabner was on the football team and ran track, but said what he enjoyed and remembers most are the people.

“It was such a unique group of people, and that included the teachers,” he said.

Larrie Baccus, president of the Libbey Alumni Association and 1973 graduate, remembers a large sense of school pride during his years as a Cowboy.

“When I got here, the spirit was such you could strike a match and it would explode. The excitement was so high,” he said.

Baccus attributes much of the spirit to the success of the basketball team at the time.

“We had one of the greatest in [former head basketball coach] Burt Spice. He worked so well with the program it propelled us into state prominence.

Everyone wanted to come here and many wanted to play basketball,” he said.

To date, Libbey has won the most City League titles of any Toledo Public School, Baccus said.

Some of the many titles won by the school through the years include back-to-back state football championships in 1941 and 1942, a girls basketball state championship in 1981, a state championship for track in 1972 and two boys basketball state runners-up in 1966 and 2008.

Many alumni remember teachers who influ-

enced them during their time at Libbey.

“We’re working class here. School was a place to not just get ahead but also see the world in a different way. Maybe you’re not getting the support from your family or even your neck of the woods, but at least the teachers are giving you inspiration or aspiration,” said Susan Terrill, a Libbey activist and 1966 graduate.

Terrill said the teachers at Libbey taught students the skills they needed for the next step.

Robert LaClair, regional president of Fifth Third Bank, said he had a number of great mentors at Libbey and still stays in touch with one of them.

“Libbey gave me a great foundation for dealing with diversity. I found great, caring teachers and have great memories of Libbey,” he said.

Toledo Councilman D. Michael Collins also remembers the role his teachers played in his education.

“My memories of Libbey High School are indelible in terms of the quality of the faculty and the commitment of principal Russie and vice principal Osgood. The teacher who had the greatest impact on me was Mrs. Snow. Her wise words for future challenges have remained with me,” wrote Collins, a 1962 graduate, in an e-mail to Toledo Free Press.

Bobbie John, a former writer who helped manage Johnny Cash’s career, credits her success to the “dedication of the excellent staff and teachers at Libbey who made learning exciting.”

The 1944 graduate can only remember one negative experience at Libbey — missing her Freshman Roundup because she was ill with the chicken pox.

Decision to close

The board of education’s decision to close Libbey was met by mixed responses from alumni. Some

alumni understood the need for the closure, while other were — and are — upset.

“I feel that the Toledo Public Schools have given those who live in the Libbey district a great disservice,” Collins said. “To divide neighborhoods, such as the neighborhood I grew up in, and expect the students to go to Waite is unacceptable. This is not a reflection of the ability of education provided at Waite; it is an issue of geography. I doubt very much that there will be a homogenization within the student body. I believe the loss of Edward Drummond Libbey High School and the history that it has brought will leave a huge void in the City of Toledo and specifically the south end.”

Alumni have been fighting the board for more than 10 years to keep Libbey open, Tabner said.

Tabner attended a number of board meetings and argued for the school, but in the end he understood the board’s decision.

“They didn’t do a lot of things they should have done, but when I finally looked at it I could see there weren’t enough people to keep the school open. They needed more activity, more children,” Tabner said.

Despite being upset about the school closing, Baccus said Libbey will live on.

“I’m not happy, but what I believe is, Libbey is what Libbey continues to do. And that’s beyond a building,” he said. “[The alumni] will have a presence in the community. We’ll be doing good things in the community.

We have projects we’ll be doing in the community to continue to honor the Libbey name and make sure the name continues to be associated with good.”

The decision to close Libbey will save the district $1.2 million annually, Schaber said. n LIBBEY CONTINUES ON A8

Final roundup

Libbey High School alumni have one last chance to say goodbye to their school Sept. 25. The school will be open from noon to 5 p.m. for one final Cowboy and Cowgirl roundup.

Individuals in attendance will be able to tour the school and mingle with old classmates. Food, music, raffles and gifts will also be available throughout the evening.

Items that have been removed for safekeeping, such as state trophies, will be on display that evening for alumni to enjoy.

In addition, old Edelian yearbooks will be on sale in the main office during the event for $10 cash; not all years will be available.

Some areas of the building, such as the balcony in the auditorium, won’t be open during the tour because of safety issues, Schaber said.

“We know it can’t be perfect, if it was perfect then we wouldn’t be where we are,” Schaber said.

“I’ve been working with various departments to get [the building] in as good of shape as we can so the alumni can have one good last visit. I want it to be respectful.”

Trophies and other memorabilia from Libbey will be moved to TPS administrative offices, Schaber said. Two original trophy cases, one donated in 1926

by Irving B. Hiett and the other in 1931 by that year’s senior class, will house the items.

In addition, sets of Libbey yearbooks, The Edelian, have been donated to four area Toledo-Lucas County libraries. The non-circulating volumes are available at the Main library, the South branch, Heatherdowns branch and Toledo Heights branch. Eventually, a fifth set will be delivered to the Mott branch.

New NHA program promotes domestic violence awareness

By Kristen Rapin TOLEDO FREE PRESS SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR krapin@toledofreepress.com

The Neighborhood Health Association (NHA) aims to raise domestic violence awareness through its new year-round Sister Care Series. On Oct. 1, at the start of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the NHA will host a domestic violence seminar.

“We want to reduce the barriers that people who are being abused have to climb over to get out of the situation,” said Doni Miller, CEO of NHA. MILLER “We hope to bring to the attention of the community the impact domestic violence has on workplace, health care and families, not to mention the impact on the person that is involved with domestic violence,” she said.

Each year, the Sister Care Series will focus on different topics and will be aimed at educating and empowering women, Miller said.

“The Sister Care Series is designed to keep issues that have a neg-

ative impact on the empowerment of women in front of the community,” she said. “We’ll focus on issues that keep women from being the best they can be and try to open pathways of communication.”

To kick off the Sister Care Series programs, NHA decided to focus on domestic violence issues.

“There still seems to be a significant reticence to talk and seek help in issues of domestic violence. There’s an increase locally and nationally of the number of people being abused,” Miller said.

In 2009, Lucas County had 1,599 reported domestic violence incidents, according to the Ohio Domestic Violence Network. The number of domestic violence incidents may be even higher; however, since some victims don’t report abuse because they’re afraid, don’t trust the police or have a record themselves.

NHA’s domestic violence symposium will feature a general session on the dynamics of domestic violence as well as domestic violence workshops. Workshops will cover topics, such as traits and characteristics of batterers, treatment options, domestic violence issues for health care providers and legal issues.

Area professionals will lead workshops and share their expertise. Everyone in attendance will also take home

a tool kit about domestic violence, which they are encouraged to share it with others and become an advocate against domestic violence, Miller said.

Keynote speaker for the symposium is Rory Kennedy, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy and documentary filmmaker. Kennedy has addressed the issue of domestic violence in some of her work.

Partners in the symposium include Bethany House, Crossroads Family Resource Center, Family Services of Northwest Ohio, Toledo Lucas County Victim Assistance Program, the YWCA Battered Women’s Shelter, among others.

The symposium is from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Oct. 1 at the Holiday Inn French Quarter conference center, 10630 Fremont Pike, Perrysburg.

Tickets are $75 a person, or $40 a student. Fees include breakfast, lunch and program materials. A limited number of courtesy registrations are available for those who cannot afford to attend.

Registration begins at 7:45 a.m.

NHA provides health care services through its 10 neighborhood clinics in Toledo. NHA plans to host more domestic violence awareness events throughout the coming year.

Are You Ready?

READY U is a year-long, comprehensive, public information campaign focused on citizen preparedness. The schedule of events shows a variety of presentations that will be offered free of charge to residents in Lucas County, but people from any area are welcome to attend. The goal of the program is to demonstrate to people how they can take three concrete steps to be prepared for emergencies that might strike in Northwest Ohio:

Make a Plan - Get a Kit - Be Informed Monday, September 27, 2010; 7:00 pm - The Unthinkable The Unthinkable…the unexpected…the unprepared; These are the issues that face everyone of us every day of our lives. Being prepared for emergencies and disasters is not difficult to do but it is hard to take the time to actually think about it. What types of hazards may impact our lives? What do I need to know to improve my chances for survival or to save the lives of others? How can I be prepared to recover…to start over…to begin life again after the unthinkable becomes reality.

Location: Maumee Fire Department, 220 Illinois Ave., Maumee, Ohio 43537

Monday, October 25, 2010; 7:00 pm - Fire Safety and Prevention Home fires are the most common disaster in the United States. Fires can cause a significant amount of damage, and can happen anywhere in our community. Do you have working smoke detectors? Does your family have a plan? Would you know where to meet outside, how to get in touch with family members? Learn how you can be better prepared in case a fire would happen.

Location: Maumee Fire Department, 220 Illinois Ave., Maumee, Ohio 43537

Monday, November 22, 2010; 7:00 pm - COLD - It’s a Killer Extreme COLD can become a killer. When outdoor temperatures plunge for several days or more it presents a real threat to people and can affect municipal services. Without an understanding of the dangers of extreme cold many are unprepared when traveling, working and playing outdoors, and knowing how to survive when the power and gas is out for an extended period of time. Seniors, disabled persons, children and pets are most vulnerable. COLD – It’s a Killer will provide information on how to recognize the signs of COLD injuries, basic first aid for cold, and simple steps for enjoying the Winter season. Learn how you can chill out while staying safe and warm.

Location: Main Branch Library, 325 Michigan Street, Toledo, Ohio 43604

Presentations in 2011 will include: Volunteering in a Disaster, “I’m talking to you...”, The 72 Hour Survival Plan, Disaster Aid: Facts and Myths, Victory in the Garden, Heat - It’s a Killer, and Saving Your Bacon (Financial Preparedness).

Planning is a daily part of our routine. We plan our summer vacations, weekend activities and grocery store visits. We plan our children’s schedules and daily tasks. And, without a doubt, endless lists often follow.

There is one particular list that deserves to be checked twice. We’re talking about reviewing your emergency preparedness checklist and developing an emergency preparedness plan for your family.

September is National Preparedness Month (NPM) and a good reminder that we all have a responsibility in protecting ourselves, our families, our pets, and our communities.

Emergencies will happen, but taking action now can help us minimize the impact they will have on our lives.

The Lucas County LEPC is reminding everyone to take important preparedness steps during National Preparedness Month, including: • Assembling an Emergency Supply Kit; • Preparing a Family Emergency Plan; and • Being informed about the potential emergencies in your area and their appropriate responses.

Consider the following questions: • Have you spoken to your children’s school or day care center about their shelter-in-place and evacuation plans?

• Do you know the evacuation plan at your work?

• If your cell phone was inoperable how would you get in touch with your family?

• Do you have a family meeting place and an out of town contact?

• Do you know who would care for your pets if you could not make it home, or were forced to evacuate?

5K raises $10,000 for Lake Editor’s note: Toledo Free Press will follow the Blank family of Millbury for the next year as they rebuild their lives after the June 5 tornado destroyed their Main Street home.

By Brandi Barhite TOLEDO FREE PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR bbarhite@toledofreepress.com

An event that started out as a way to raise money for Lake Local Schools might become a tradition for the Flyers.

Five hundred people, including Ed and Julie Blank, who lost their home in the June 5 tornado, participated in “Lifting Up Lake 5K Run Walk Crawl” on Sept. 18. BLANK The race was hosted by the Northwest Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) at Lake High School.

“This was our first time doing anything like this,” said Angela Wallington Zimmann, president-elect of the Northwest Ohio Executive Committee. “I talked to the Lake School Board and Lake might take this event over and make it an annual event.”

The idea to help Lake came just one day after the tornado.

“We always meet on a Sunday four times per year and this

meeting happened to be set for the 6th of June,” Zimmann said.

“Someone suggested we do something for Lake and we all agreed.

We didn’t want to wait until October when we would meet again, so we had a meeting on July 11 for those who were really interested in doing a fundraiser for Lake.”

David Spridgeon, executive committee member from Arcadia, had been involved in 5Ks in the past. He and those helping thought a 5K would be a great opportunity for people to get together. The planning started immediately.

“I did the initial fundraising. I wanted to FAMILY: get as many $500 sponsors as possible out of the gate,” Zimmann said. “We didn’t want to rely on entry fees.

We wanted all of the $20 fees to go to Lake.”

Zimmann said Lake will receive approximately $10,000 once the rest of the bills for the race are paid.

Initially, organizers thought they might get as many as 1,500 participants in the race, but as the event neared, they aimed for 500. They realized too late that Sept. 18 was Harrison Rally Day in Perrysburg. Also, many of those

back

who would be interested in participating, like cross country runners, had tournaments.

“Someone told us you would be lucky if you get 100, but we knew we would get more than that. We were really pleased with turnout, but not totally shocked,” Zimmann said.

Judy Jackson May, regional manager for the 20 counties in the Northwest Ohio OSBA, couldn’t walk or run in the 5K because she was too busy working on registration. She was happy to help Lake.

“Lake is in our region,” she said.

“We met and we thought about what we could do to help them. At that time, Lake hadn’t received any funding to rebuild their high school.”

Since then, Lake has settled with insurance agents to rebuild the school. Lake will receive $19.1 million. The money raised at the 5K and upcoming silent auction will now be used at Lake’s discretion, Zimmann said.

May said it would be nice if the money went toward school supplies lost in the tornado.

“You live 20 miles from someone and you never really get to know anyone, but I feel like we have made a lot of new friends, people who are neighbors. It is not about the amount of money, it is about the caring,” May said.

Paulette Kilmer remembers being sent home from school for bringing “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” into the classroom. Although her teachers had not read the book, they labeled it inappropriate.

“I remember thinking, ‘People really are afraid’,” Kilmer said.

Kilmer, the founder of the Banned Books Week event at the University of Toledo, said approximately 500 students participated in the vigil last year. This is the 13th year UT will host the event. Prior to having the vigil on campus, Kilmer said she used to take her students to a Banned Books Week reading at Thackeray’s Books.

“The basic freedom — our whole way of life, our democracy, our culture, is built from this right to read and think freely. If we can’t read freely then someone can manipulate us like we’re robots. We can be programmed,” Kilmer said.

UT will host its Banned Books Week Vigil Program on Sept. 30. The event begins at 9 a.m. in Sullivan Hall, room 2030 and ends with a song performance at 5:30 p.m. Speakers from various university departments and the local community will address historic and contemporary issues surrounding the First Amendment and censorship. A banned book will be given away every half hour.

Recurring themes in many banned books include sex, abuse, rape and homosexuality, said Glenn Sheldon, honors professor of humanities in the honors college at UT. Sheldon is the keynote speaker for the Sept. 30 event.

with those ideas,” Jones said. “It really doesn’t help you to ban a book — it doesn’t solve your problem or keep your kids away from these ideas either.

Parents want to prevent their children from reading about drugs. Chances are, in the 21st century, children are going to find out about drugs.”

Scapegoats “Every year, something else is going on. Last year, we were talking a lot about the Harry Potter cutting parties,” Kilmer said. “The battle is never over.”

Jones, Kilmer and Sheldon discussed the national attention Pastor Terry Jones of Gainesville, Fla. garnered for threatening to burn the Quran.

“To burn a book, it doesn’t get rid of that idea,” Jones said.

“People turn mean, and they want a scapegoat. They want something and someone to blame. If they can target a book, that’s something concrete. They can take out all their frustration and anger,” Kilmer said.

Censorship in schools Sheldon said most books are banned and challenged in K-12 school districts when the content of reading material is questioned.

Sex, drugs, religion, politics and language continue to be the primary objections parents have with

books their children read in school, Jones said.

About two-thirds of the challenges between 2001 and 2009 were in schools and libraries; 48 percent of all challenges came from parents.

“Some things never change. I would say in this country, political books usually don’t get censored.

People continue to worry about sex and people engaging in sex too early,” Jones said. “Any books with the nword, like ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’

which has the word 58 times.”

Brian Hickam, former librarian for UT’s College of Health Science and Human Services, has been involved with the university’s Banned Books Week since he joined the staff in 2004.

“It’s about more than books.

The freedom to view, listen, think,” Hickam said. “We need to uphold our freedoms and remember that censorship is always a possibility.”

This year’s event is dedicated to Hickam, who is leaving the university.

Expo connects minority business owners to resources

By Amy Biolchini

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

The Northwest Ohio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (NOHCC) will host the 2010 Expo Explosion! V

8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 1 at the Toledo campus of Owens Community College.

The expo and job fair will connect area Hispanic and minority businesses to community resources.

“We’re trying to foster relationships between smaller businesses and resources,” said Bernadette Delgado, committee chair for the event.

A $25 luncheon featuring keynote speaker Richard Romero, partnership specialist for the Latino community with the U.S. Census, will take place from noon to 1:15 p.m. According to the NOHCC website, Romero is also a team leader for the Northeast Ohio Latino Team.

He serves on the Ohio Commission on Hispanic/Latino Affairs and previously served as chairman, vice chairman and as state commissioner of the Ohio Commission on Spanish-Speaking Affairs.

Speakers and a panel discussion on “How Government can assist Minority Businesses” will take place in the morning. Breakout sessions before and after lunch will cover educational opportunities, insurance programs and lending opportunities.

Government agencies from all levels will be present at the expo, including the Bureau of Workers Compensation, the Small Business Administration, the Ohio Department of Development and the Lucas County Auditor. Delgado said the NOHCC is working with the Lucas County Workforce Development Agency to bring employers seeking workers.

“For a lot of small businesses that are one-or two-people operations, their entire focus is running their business, almost to their detriment because they don’t have time to look for resources that are out there. A day away from business for them is very costly,” Delgado said.

Members of the NOHCC have the advantage of a network of opportunities, Delgado said. This year, the NOHCC is promoting the soon-toopen Nueva Esperanza, the first Hispanic credit union in Ohio.

The eight-year-old NOHCC currently includes Edward Jones, Ford’s Accounting, Mathyou Design, Farmers Insurance, Diversified Insurance Services, Silva Surveying, Mandell Vasquez and American Flooring Installers.

Event sponsors include The University of Toledo, Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, Dave White Honda, Edward Jones and Medical Mutual.

Exhibitor booths are available for $125. Register at www.nohcc.com/ expo.html.

Former supporter files small claims action against Kaptur

By Kristen Rapin TOLEDO FREE PRESS SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR krapin@toledofreepress.com

Marcy Kaptur’s former memorial chairman, Nick Haupricht, filed a claim against Kaptur in small claims court Sept. 17.

Haupricht claims “misguidance by her staff ” and is seeking $3,458.02 in the Toledo Municipal Court Lucas County Civil Division. The money covers advertisements in local papers, fliers and applications for memorial stones, he said.

Steve Fought, communications director for Kaptur, said the claim is without merit.

“He took actions that weren’t authorized by anyone. He got out ahead of himself and is trying to find someone to blame,” Fought said.

Haupricht said he was just fol-

lowing the paperwork given to him by Kaptur’s office.

In December, Haupricht took a leadership role as chairman for the proposed veterans garden at the new Veterans Affairs Clinic. In this role, Haupricht was in charge of arranging transportation and a temporary staging area for a memorial stone.

Haupricht sent fliers to more than 400 motorcycle clubs asking bikers to accompany the memorial to its final placement. He said Dan Foote, who is a staff aide in Kaptur’s Toledo office, authorized him to send out materials.

Haupricht also purchased ad space in local newspapers.

Haupricht had a blueprint of the memorial made up and sent it to Tony Chiaravalloti of Granites of America.

Haupricht also began work on applications for stone pavers to accompany the memorial.

In May, Haupricht hosted fundraising dinners with actress Chris Noel in attendance. He hosted two dinners at local VA locations; a third scheduled dinner was canceled by Kaptur’s office.

On April 13, Haupricht received a

letter from Chief of Staff Steve Katich in Kaptur’s office stating that the work on the memorial had been postponed and for Haupricht to suspend any activity promoting the memorial stone and any fundraising for it.

Haupricht is currently working as a volunteer for the campaign of Rich Iott, Republican candidate for 9th Congressional District and Kaptur’s opponent. He began volunteering for Iott two weeks ago, he said.

AGRICULTURE

By Duane Ramsey TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER dramsey@toledofreepress.com

For many years, people have been consuming Dei Fratelli brand tomato products and Silver Fleece brand sauerkraut made from locally grown produce that is processed, packed and distributed by the Hirzel Canning Company and Farms based on Lemoyne Road in Northwood.

The company is in the midst of its busiest time of year: a tomato harvest that runs from mid-August into the third week of HIRZEL October.

“We’re packing from fresh tomatoes during the harvest season rather than using tomato paste and water for our products,” said Steve Hirzel, president and a fourth-generation member in the family-owned business.

“Timing the harvest with growers to meet the optimum production of tomatoes that go into different products is critical in order to provide consistent products for consumers based on crop and harvest schedules,” Hirzel said.

Picking tomatoes when they are ripe is the biggest challenge, so they use produce grown at farms close to their canning operations to assure freshness, he said.

Hirzel said the company contracts with about 30 tomato growers in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan, all within a 50-mile radius of its headquarters and packing operations in Northwood. It also has canning and packing facilities in Pemberville and Ottawa.

The company conducts its own research and development of tomato plants that are preseeded and germinated in greenhouses until they are mature enough to be transplanted

in the fields. The company ships the young plants to the growers for transplanting in order to control the quality of the tomatoes for its products, he said.

“We’re proud of our sophisticated growers for the consistent quality produce they grow to put in our products.

They’re doing a phenomenal job of growing for us,” Hirzel said.

The products have a shelf life of more than two years, but consumers should look for the “best by date for optimal freshness and flavor,” he said.

“We have a sophisticated tracking system of the tomatoes grown and used in our products for safety, so people can trust our products.”

A variety of 53 different Dei Fratelli tomato products and Silver Fleece sauerkraut are sold in retail stores, primarily in the Midwest but also stretching from Florida to the Rocky Mountains. The brands are sold in local stores, such as The Andersons, Churchill’s, Sautter’s and Kazmaier’s 5-Star Markets, as well as in national chains, including Kroger, Giant Eagle, Meijer and Wal-Mart.

“It’s worked well for business with our local brands supported by local stores and national chains. The local stores carry many of our unique products that aren’t available in the chain stores that usually carry a smaller selection,” Hirzel said.

“We don’t use additives, preservatives or add water to our products and emphasize the lower salt content to meet consumer and health demands,” he said. “Our tomato juice is made entirely from fresh tomatoes, not from concentrate and water.”

The company packs larger cans and plastic pouches of tomato products under the Star Cross brand for use in restaurants and the food service market.

It also sells products in packages from 3-gallon bags to 55-gallon barrels for use as ingredients in other products in what it calls the industrial market.

Hirzel Canning tackles busy harvest season

■

SMALLER AND FIRMER TOMATOES ARE FLOATED THROUGH THE PRODUCTION SYSTEM AT HIRZEL CANNING.

Hirzel said the privately owned company does not release its sales figures but processes about 100 flatbed truckloads of tomatoes daily and 4,200 truckloads in a seasonal harvest. The company puts out approximately 100 million cans of product in one year.

The company employs about 120 full-time workers, which includes its farming operation. It uses an additional 350 workers during the peak harvest and production season, Hirzel said.

The family-owned business was founded in 1923 by Carl Hirzel on the site of its current headquarters. Today, nine members of the Hirzel family are involved in the business, said Steve, who took over leadership of the family business from his father, Karl Jr.

More businesses are banking with Key. Shouldn’t you?

Steve’s great-grandfather Carl started selling sauerkraut from wooden barrels and passed the family business onto his grandfather, Karl Sr. Two uncles remain active in the company with Joe Hirzel Sr., serving as chairman, and Bill Hirzel, as secretary and resident scientist.

Dei Fratelli is hosting its third annual Ripened Recipe Contest in celebration of National Tomato Month in October. The brand encourages home chefs to get creative with one of nature’s healthiest fruits, using its canned tomato products.

“The Ripened Recipe Contest is one of the bright spots of the Dei Fratelli family business. Past entrants have wowed us with their creativity and passion for our products,” Steve said. “This contest is a dependable

channel to interact with and better understand our consumers.”

Consumers can submit original recipes using any Dei Fratelli products. The top 10 recipes will be chosen based on flavor, appeal and originality, with each winner receiving a one-year supply of Dei Fratelli products.

Recipes can be submitted from Oct. 1 through Nov. 30 on its website at DeiFratelli.com, on Facebook or by mail with name, address and contact information to Dei Fratelli Ripened Recipe Contest, c/o RMD Advertising, 6116 Cleveland Ave., Columbus, OH 43231.

The winning recipes will be announced Dec. 15 and published on the Dei Fratelli website and Facebook page. The company has had several local winners in past years, Steve said.

Pausch’s words applicable to current Rockets L ike life, sports is full of lessons, in my news writing class during my surprises and unexpected twists junior year at the University of Toledo.

Just when you think you was and because it is the three-year have someone or something figured anniversary of his speech this month, out, that individual or situation can there was one thing he said that still turn out to be completely different than sticks with me to this day that I wanted to write about.

In this crazy technological age that life and achieving childhood dreams to a packed auditorium at the university we live in, we’re a society that has bein the midst of his battle with pancre- come accustomed to getting things atic cancer. I watched Pausch’s speech at the push of a button, such as in-

stant uploads and downloads, e-mail straight to our phones, Internet access anywhere, and a whole slew of “apps” that we don’t really need. That same attitude of wanting results quickly can be applied to today’s sports fans, especially in Toledo.

If America is the melting pot of cultures, then Toledo is the melting pot of numerous favorite sports teams.

Having grown up and been educated in T-Town, I know that I’m more likely to run into a Cowboys or Steelers fan than I am a Lions or Browns fan, even though the latter are closer to home.

The same can be said for college football. I know I’m more likely to run into a Buckeyes or Wolverines fan than I am a Rockets fan. A lot of that has to do with losing.

People like winners, and Toledo football has not done much of that the past few years. I get it. So far this season, however, the Rockets are 2-1.

Both of those victories came on the road against not only two quality Mid-

American Conference opponents in Ohio and Western Michigan, but two opponents that were picked to finish better in their respective divisions than Toledo was in the preseason poll done by the MAC News Media Association. This early-season success for the Rockets is directly related to the play of the defense through the first three games, in particular the defensive line.

After limiting the Bobcats to just 46 yards rushing for a 1.6 yards per carry average in the second contest of the year, Toledo was even more impressive against the Broncos, allowing just 13 yards on 26 carries. The Rockets recorded seven sacks, four interceptions and forced two fumbles for a total of six turnovers in its game with Western Michigan, bringing its total to 11 so far on the year.

“I just would credit it to our schemes that the coaches put in all week,” said senior cornerback Desmond Marrow.

Marrow was the second Toledo player in consecutive weeks to be selected

as the MAC West Division Defensive Player of the Week after he recorded 10 tackles, one pass breakup and two interceptions against the Broncos, returning one for a touchdown.

While Marrow was elated after getting the first two interceptions of his collegiate career that wasn’t the best thing about his performance.

“I think the best thing about the interceptions was our D-line,” Marrow said. “Our D-line is playing really well this year, and as a DB, it’s the best thing to have when a defense has a D-line. If they can get to the quarterback faster, then you have to cover shorter, and you get interceptions and everybody’s happy.”

And while it may be a tall task, it’s not a stretch to say that the Rockets are capable of coming out of Ross-Ade Stadium with an upset victory over Purdue on Sept. 25. Like Pausch said in his speech, if you give people long enough, they’ll surprise and impress you.

Just ask Michigan about that day in the Big House.

GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Opel to start selling cars in Chile BERLIN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; General Motors Co.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Opel unit says it will begin selling cars next year in Chile, its first Latin American market. Opel increasingly is looking to markets beyond its European base as it works to return to profitability. The company said it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;currently preparing to enter more growth markets.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give details, but noted that it already has signed a memorandum of understanding with Slomo Group to export cars to Israel.

AWARDS

Local dealers receive GM â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mark of Excellenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By Duane Ramsey

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER dramsey@toledofreepress.com

Two local auto dealerships, Dave White Chevrolet in Sylvania and McNeill Chevrolet Buick in Swanton, were the only dealers in Northwest Ohio to receive the Mark of Excellence 2009 Dealer Recognition Award from Chevrolet. Both dealers received a Mark of Excellence plaque to display in their dealership.

This award is an accomplishment reserved for only a select few outstanding Chevrolet dealerships and is a symbol of exceptional performance in sales and customer satisfaction excellence, according to Gerald Roberson, district sales manager for General Motors.

The award is not given until September of the following year because GM takes its time to gather all infor-

mation and talks to customers from the previous year to determine the top dealerships.

The two biggest factors are a dealerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales performance and customer satisfaction in both sales and service. Sales volume is used to compare dealers of similar size that had an increase in sales from the previous year.

Customer satisfaction is based on the responses customers give GM after they purchase a vehicle and after they visit the dealerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very proud to receive this award from Chevrolet as a dealership. There are many factors that go into who wins this each year and we are compared with every dealership in the State of Ohio,â&#x20AC;? said Jason Kos, general sales manager of McNeill Chevrolet Buick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a true example of our

dedication to our customers and our commitment to exceed expectations during as well as after the sale.â&#x20AC;?

Kos said the dealership â&#x20AC;&#x153;has a very loyal customer base because of the way they are treated every time they visit us, not just when they buy something. I hear from many firsttime customers that it was their

most enjoyable experience buying a car. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m even more proud when I see them for the third or fourth time and they still feel the same way.â&#x20AC;?

Kos indicated that 2009 was one of the hardest years in the history of the auto industry, yet the dealership still increased sales in new and used vehicles last year.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a testament to our employees who are committed to providing our customers with the best purchase and ownership experience possible. The training and product knowledge of our people is important in achieving that level of customer satisfaction,â&#x20AC;? said Dave White, president of Dave White Chevrolet.

GUEST COLUMN

Generation gap: Five ways car culture has changed

By Beth J. Harpaz ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) — Not long ago, I gave a ride to a kid in an old car with no air conditioning. It was a warm day, so I told him to roll down the window.

He had no idea what that meant.

Having grown up with power windows, he’d never seen a crank handle and didn’t know how to use one.

(He’d probably never been in a car without air conditioning, either.)

It got me thinking about all the things today’s kids take for granted when it comes to cars that either didn’t exist or were far less common when their parents were growing up.

Here are five ways in which kids experience cars differently, starting with those windows.

Windows and doors You can still find crank handles on old cars and “very, very low-end cars,’’ according to Art Jacobsen, automotive industry veteran and director of business development

for CarMD.com, a company that offers handheld products and services to diagnose car problems.

The cheapest, most basic models of the Nissan Versa and Smart Fortwo cars, for example, lack power windows.

But on most vehicles, power windows are a standard feature. “Manufacturers found it was cheaper in the long run to eliminate the handcrank window option and make all their cars with electric windows,’’ said Jeff Bennett, an associate professor at Northwood University in Midland, Mich., who’s written textbooks for the automotive industry and also worked for years as a Chevy and Toyota dealer.

Another thing that’s increasingly rare: manual locks. Locking each door separately seems like a lot of work compared to one click from the key chain.

disappeared from car rides, but there are more entertainment options than ever before.

“Most cars now have an audio

jack where you can plug in an iPod or any other MP3 and play it over the car stereo,’’ Jacobsen said. And if the passengers don’t like the driv-

Getting lost

Other entertainment options include satellite radio and even satellite TV. Bennett says it all adds up to a huge shift in the way families travel.

“It’s not so much that your car has no more crank-down windows that’s the big difference,’’ he said. “It’s that Charlie and Millie are in the back seat watching something and not talking to mom and dad — ever.’’

How often did your parents get lost, and then get in an argument with each other about being lost? That’s probably something your kids experience far less often than you did growing up, thanks to GPS technology.

Some folks get turn-by-turn directions and traffic updates from their cell phones, some have a por-

table GPS device. Some spring for a navigational system built right into the dashboard of their vehicle, though that’s still a luxury option.

But Jacobsen notes that navigational technology hasn’t entirely eliminated the experience of getting lost.

“A lot of times my GPS has taken me around in circles, so you still get to have the heated discussions with your spouse,’’ he said.

And when your car breaks down, you still have to wait for the tow truck or AAA to show up. But thanks to cell phones, at least you don’t have to find a pay phone.

Car seats

10400 Airport Hwy.

Remember bouncing around the back seat when you were a kid or sitting on a grownup’s lap? Maybe you rode shotgun in front while mom or dad drove, or even got to bop around the bed of a pickup truck.

All that’s forbidden now, thanks to rules and recommendations on child safety. All 50 states require the use of car seats for children, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA ) also recommends that children under 13 always sit in back.

Not only can front-seat air bags injure small passengers, but backseat passengers are less likely to be hurt in headon collisions.

Once kids have outgrown car seats at age 4 or 40 pounds, the NHTSA says they should use booster seats until they are 8 years old or 57 inches tall, whichever comes first. That means some kids will be big enough to ride the tallest roller coaster in the world, Six Flags’ Kingda Ka in Jackson, N.J., which has a height requirement of 54 inches, before they can ride in a car without a booster seat.

The rules have had a dramatic impact on safety. Although car accidents remain the leading cause of death for kids ages 3 to 14, the number of auto-related fatalities among children under 13 has dropped from 3,643 in 1975, to 1,045 in 2008, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

“It’s not by accident that manufacturers have designed these computer systems,’’ he said. “You have to bring the car to them to get even simple things done. Everything is computerized and it’s very difficult without access to the proper tools and information.’’

On the other hand, Bennett said, “cars are so much more reliable, so much safer, and so much less maintenance is required. The average individual is much better off today.’’

O-I employees collect 4 tons of glass for Recycle Glass Week Owens-Illinois employees collected 4 tons of glass for recycling as part of North American Recycle Glass Week from Sept. 12-18 sponsored by the Glass Packaging Institute (GPI).

O-I employees exceeded the company’s goal of collecting 3 tons of glass for recycling through its employee col-

lection drive at the Levis Commons campus where 750 employees work.

Nationwide, 20 tons were collected for the 2009 event.

“We wanted to focus on raising awareness about the importance of recycling glass since many people may not realize that glass can be recycled

over and over, saving tons of raw materials,” said Kristie Martin, a communications specialist at O-I who chaired the company-wide recycling effort.

“For every kilogram of cullet (recycled glass) that we use in manufacturing, we’re able to replace 1.2 kilograms of raw materials,” she said.

O-I hosted collection events and collected glass for recycling at its headquarters in Perrysburg and its manufacturing plants across in the U.S. The company built glass recycling stations for employees to deposit glass bottles and containers during the campaign.

All of the recycled glass was sent to cullet processors that provide recycled cullet to O-I for its glass manufacturing process to make more bottles and containers, Martin said.

Glass is 100 percent recyclable and is made into new glass containers over and over. One of the most significant issues affecting the glass industry today is the lack of quality recycled glass, according to O-I. Although 17 million tons of glass enters the waste stream annually, only about 2.5 million tons is recycled by glass makers to produce more containers. By increasing the amount of recycled glass available by 10 percent, the environmental impact would reduce the energy re-

quired for glass production by 3 percent and carbon emissions by 5 percent, according to the company.

By hosting the collection drive and educating people about glass recycling, O-I is helping the glass industry meet its goal of using at least 50 percent recycled glass when producing new glass containers by 2013, Martin said.

If that goal is reached, the Environmental Protection Agency estimates the domestic energy savings would be enough to power nearly 22,000 households for an entire year and keep 181,550 tons of waste from reaching landfills.

Doubling the U.S. glass container recycling rate of 28 percent in 2008 would allow manufacturers to use 50 percent cullet or recycled glass to make new glass containers, according to the GPI. O-I was among 50 glass container manufacturing locations across the country holding events during Recycle Glass Week.

ARTS Life Goo Goo Dolls to bring ‘Something’ to Toledo On the web

This week’s Family Practice column by Shannon Szyperski, “My Little Cling-on,” is posted at www.toledofreepress.com

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

John Rzeznik. He sings. He writes hit songs. He plays memorable guitar riffs. He cooks.

“I’m very good with Italian food; I make unbelievable sauce,” the front man of the Goo Goo Dolls said.

“Do I have a secret? Yeah, I dated an Italian girl,” he said and laughed.

Does he have other hidden talents?

“I can juggle,” he offered.

“That’s funny. We were doing a show the other day, and I was like, so the album’s coming out, so please go out and buy it because I really have no other marketable skills. If I have to go out and get a job, I’m going to be in big trouble,” Rzeznik said.

Not that he has to fret. The band has sold more than 10 million records thanks to a steady stream of hits — “Name,” “Iris,” “Slide,” “Black Balloon,” “Here Is Gone,” “Let Love In,” “Better Days.”

“I’m from Buffalo; you still worry about it,” he said.

That uncertainty is featured on the Goo Goo Dolls’ ninth studio disc, “Something For the Rest of Us.” “I wanted to sort of deal with the emotional kind of fallout of what’s going on in the world right now and how this kind of separation and anxiety is sort of affecting all of us,” Rzeznik said during a call from the back steps of his Los Angeles home.

“Home” is the new single.

“I was just thinking that you’re trying so hard to go out in the world and make your pile of money and you’re feeling incredibly unsatisfied because what truly matters is what’s going on in your interior life — having a home and family and friends,” Rzeznik said. “I think a lot of

people are starting to realize that, that there’s sort of a paradigm shift going on in America, I think. We’ve been put in a position where we’re forced to be less materialistic, and we’re sort of re-evaluating what’s important in our lives.”

He said the ballad “Notbroken” was inspired by a woman he talked to during a meet-and-greet event.

“She was just telling me about how her husband had gone away to Iraq and was injured and he was in the hospital and he didn’t want to come home because he was afraid that she wouldn’t love him the way that she did when he felt whole,” Rzeznik said. “I just walked away from that five-minute conversation and was like, ‘wow, you know, that was really heavy.’ So I took it upon myself to try to write a love letter to him from her, trying to say that everything is all right, it’s time to start our lives over again, I’m here for you.”

The Goo Goo Dolls — Rzeznik, singer and bass player Robby Takac and drummer Mike Malinin — have been around for almost a quarter of a century.

“Please don’t remind me — our silver anniversary, oh my God,” Rzeznik said and laughed.

And that’s with a band name Rzeznik isn’t crazy about.

“Robby won’t talk about it because he’s just like: Everybody remembers that name, it’s a great name. And I’m like, yeah, I know, but we could have done something cooler,” Rzeznik said.

“Every once in a while I’ll come up with another name, and it’ll be like, oh yeah, but I forget them as fast as I come up with them.”

The Goo Goo Dolls will play a 7:30 p.m. show Oct. 6 at the Stranahan Theater. Tickets are $45 and $35. The Spill Canvas will open.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2010

A home for Cali My name is Cali and I am a 7-yearold border collie mix. I was surrendered to the Toledo Area Humane Society because I am an active dog and my owners didn’t have time to spend with me. I get along with some dogs but I won’t stand for bossy canines so I should meet any dogs that I might share a home with before adoption. I know several obedience commands like sit, down, shake and speak, speak but I like to learn new things ings and I would love an owner n ner who might be willing to teach me something new. I am used to sleeping on tthe foot of the bed every night h ht or on my blanket on the couch. If you will not want me on the furniture, you may need to remind me that it’s not allowed w wed in my new home. I likee to “talk” a lot, especially when e the en mail or packages are being n deng livered. I am housetrained, d but I d, might need a few days to adjust a

to the routine of a new house. I also like to jump and hug people when I greet them. I look forward to meeting you and finding my forever home. I have been spayed, examined by a staff veterinarian, I am current on my vaccinations and I am microchipped.

Toledo Area Humane Society is located at 1920 Indian Wood Circle, Arrowhead Park, Maumee. Adoption hours are 10 aa.m. m to 6 p.m. pm Tuesday through Sunday. Call (419) 8910705 or visit the Website www. toledoareahumanesociety. org.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Tempting detours. One foot is on the gas while the other foot is on the brakes this week. People are more cooperative Tuesday and Wednesday. Make formal arrangements Thursday for lasting change. An unusual idea or invitation arrives Saturday morning.

Current résumé. Compile what you’ve learned so it can be shared. With the big picture in focus, you and/or your group may decide on specific improvements to make. Write a formal plan Thursday. Reconnect with close friends; intimate discussions keep relationships fresh.

Comfort zones. Authority changes hands, and while this may give some qualms, cautious discussions reveal some unexpected benefits. New relationships emerge in areas of your life that others don’t see. Current attractions show how your hot buttons have changed.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Beast of burden. You may feel compelled to shoulder more responsibility than is comfortable. Question others midweek to get their opinions; a strong voice isn’t a group consensus.

Discussions lead to surprising or alternative suggestions after Friday.

Cancel or postpone. Ask people to clarify their expectations this week. If someone has been getting under your skin, discuss boundaries midweek. Abrupt changes in the way you address issues, both at home and at work, will change responses to your requests.

Directing traffic. Shortfalls and missing links are obvious now; plan to bridge the gaps. People share travel plans or favorite hobbies/interests midweek. Accept invitations to try new things, as fresh social networks and groups of friends are coming your way.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Whale song. A creative project or new relationship is beckoning, but your pursuit is blocked. Unattainable things gain a Grail-like allure. Listen to what others have to say, as off-hand remarks and gossip heard after Friday can change your mind about future pursuits.

New income stream. It may not seem like a good time to take on new responsibilities, but the benefits offered may outweigh other considerations. Matters with others can change swiftly after Thursday. Do what you have to do for your own future stability.

One-shot deal. There’s something you’ve been avoiding that you should consider trying now. New knowledge banks become available midweek. Consult with an expert Thursday. Somebody changes your opinion about food or health matters over the weekend.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Detective work. A person put things into place in the past, and you’re just now discovering it. Push through required tasks midweek, as attention shifts to personal matters and relationships Thursday. This is a good weekend for a road trip or group events.

The compost heap. Situations around you may be ending or unraveling. Something new and attractive arrives Wednesday, followed by an official ending Thursday. The weekend has potential for high drama. Find an appropriate release valve for built-up emotions.

Race to the finish. Desired progress is foiled unless you jump through hoops. People offer tips on the red tape, and a generous stranger points the way Thursday. Weekend activities keep you moving from place to place, and from group to group.
