an you put limits on imagination? Here at the Girl Scouts, we don’t think so. Every day we’re inspiring girls to look beyond their backyards and think of the possibilities that lie in wait.

We provide the avenue for girls to reach their full potential, in a supportive, hands-on environment where they choose the activities they pursue and lead the way. We embrace individuality and diversity. Each girl has a role to fulfill and a say in what she and her fellow scouts do and how they do it.

This unique approach is what sets Girl Scouts apart.

Girl Scouts is more than just an organization; it’s a movement. Girls Angela Tennaro gain access to experiences and opportunities through Girl Scouts that they may not have on their own. We empower them to use their own perspective and creativity to decide how they want to make an impact on the community. I’ve seen girls travel to China and Nassau in the Bahamas, learn fencing and ballet, and do much more than they (or we) ever imagined. We build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. I’m proud to be a part of that.

Research shows that more than 90 percent of Girl Scout parents thought their daughter was more confident, made more friends and got better grades because of their involvement in Girl Scouts. Wouldn’t you want the same thing for your daughter?

Girls Scouts of Western Ohio provides new and exciting experiences to nearly 45,000 girls in 32 counties because of the dedication and hard work of our volunteers. We want to reach more girls than ever before, but in order to do that we need more volunteers. You don’t have to be a mom, parent or even a woman to volunteer. You simply need passion to help create a better tomorrow for girls in our community. We want them to know that they can be absolutely anything they want to be. Let’s make that happen.

To join or volunteer, please visit www.girlscouts.org/join or call 1 (888) 350-5090.

Together, we can make the world a better place. O Angela Tennaro is regional director of services for Girl Scouts of Western Ohio.

“

I learned at an early age — from tragedy, from grief, from example — to hide my true self and become like a chameleon, making everyone around me satisfied and trying to be all things to all people.”

n HAYS CONTINUED FROM 3 Self-improvement could be necessary because of self-destruction.

Situations in life can eat away at our self-image until we end up like Swiss cheese, with holes in our view of ourselves.

Children may be emotionally ignored or physically abused and the damage to their self-esteem can carry over into their adult lives. A teen who is bullied, or feels less because of his or her looks, grades or athletic ability can become emotionally blunted, leading to behavior that is often a symptom of a “self ” that needs to be revamped.

BAD CREDIT? NO CREDIT? Office: 419-714-8010 or 419-345-5259 AND DRiVe TODAY!

Rape, trauma, abuse and the death of a loved one are other ways the self gets damaged. Equally as damaging, although not always recognized as such, is over-adulation.

When we are fussed over and complimented for every little thing we do, we come to expect praise instead of earning it. This leads to never reaching for the highest star, but settling for the ones dangling right in front of us. It is difficult to take risks and do the work necessary to become the person we want to be. If we can’t dream about who we could be and make the plan to get there, it becomes impossible.

I learned at an early age — from

tragedy, from grief, from example — to hide my true self and become like a chameleon, making everyone around me satisfied and trying to be all things to all people.

My self-image paid a high price.

It took me years to find my authentic self. And interestingly, it took a great tragedy to my brain and body, a tragedy that stripped me naked of

memories of parts of my old self, to begin to build a new self. Pam today is not the same Pam I was in 2000 when I received my traumatic brain injury.

It took me years to interweave the pieces of who I had been with who I had become and who I would become every day since my injury.

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

It’s been a year of growing pains for the Collingwood Arts Center (CAC) — with a long way yet to go — but the nonprofit’s leadership believes it’s headed in the right direction.

Since taking the helm last August, Interim Executive Director Sarah Kurfis has shepherded CAC through a period of transition, most notably from an artist residency program to a more communityfocused arts center.

“We’re in the process right now of figuring out what we’re going to be when we grow up,” Kurfis said. “There’s still a lot of work to do, but we’ve come pretty far. People are getting re-energized. We have a lot of new energy and artists and people helping out at the building.”

Now, she says, it’s time to pass the job to someone new.

Lexi Staples will take over as executive director Oct. 1.

Staples, who has served as CAC’s special events coordinator and office manager since March, has worked closely with Kurfis to organize dozens of events at the site, including a series of ghost hunts, two food truck festivals, monthly community art days and more. She is founder and executive director of Pride of Toledo Foundation and event director for Toledo Pride. She previously owned OUTSKiRTS, a bar that closed earlier this year.

“I’m excited to continue what Sarah started,” Staples said. “It’s been cool to see just how much the community does want to be involved with the space and with the idea there could be a different use for the building. It’s been really fun to watch people start to change their minds about the building and be more supportive of futuristic plans.”

Kurfis, an attorney, will transition to a job in Washington, D.C., with the Federal Labor Relations Authority, but will remain available to Staples to answer questions and help ease the transition.

“We’re stabilizing and Lexi is the perfect person to carry out this new vision,” Kurfis said. “We found an avenue and a niche the Collingwood can be successful at and developed a strategic plan that can help it get somewhere great and have an impact on our community. I turned the ship slightly and now I’m stepping out of the way to let the most capable people do it.”

CAC also recently hired former board treasurer Colleen Eldridge as office manager.

Kurfis said she is proud of the work she did at CAC, even her controversial decision to end the building’s longtime artist residency program in January. Faced with building conditions that included no heat or hot water, residents were given 30 days to move out.

“My original recommendation was a six-month transition, but then everything basically went to hell in a week,” Kurfis said. “It was the weather that made the decision to move quicker, but it was still the right decision to make. It just wasn’t safe.”

Kurfis worked with Children’s Theater Workshop and Community Shares of Northwest Ohio, both based at CAC, before taking the interim executive director position.

“When I graduated law school, two (CAC) board members asked if I would be willing to step in and get it on a better path,” Kurfis said. “I said yes because I’ve always loved it. It has such great potential and it’s such a great building. It just needed to be pointed in the right direction. So that’s been my goal for the past year.” n COLLINGWOOD CONTINUES ON 7

n COLLINGWOOD CONTINUED FROM 6 Kurfis spent her first few months getting acclimated and studying the nonprofit’s structure, and concluded the resident program wasn’t working.

“It was a great idea; it just didn’t work,” Kurfis said. “I spent lots of time managing resident issues. It was basically a dorm, with everyone so close and sharing things. It was a dysfunctional mess.

“I had said I’d come in, basically with a consultant mindset, and help make decisions and figure out how we can do this,” Kurfis said. “I came to the conclusion that this isn’t working at all and I think we could make it better, but it might go under.”

The center’s financial standing is still shaky.

“We’re in a lot better position than we were even a year ago or a few months ago, but we’re still digging ourselves out of a hole caused by mismanagement,” she said.

Kurfis said some past board members bristle at the term “mismanagement,” but that’s the best way she can describe it. Staples will be CAC’s seventh executive director in five years. Several previous directors have died since stepping down. One died in the position.

“Whoever was keeping the books didn’t know what they were doing. I’m still discovering bills we owe and I’ve

been here for a year. We are still digging out. It’s a mess,” Kurfis said.

“I figured out the financials I need to move forward, but I haven’t gone back and done forensics as far as finding exactly where and how it derailed, but there’s clearly signs of gross negligence.

“There’s nothing you can point to and say, ‘That was the specific problem,’” Kurfis said. “It was just a bunch of bad decisions. My guess is a combination of negligent management, unreliable contractors, probably some theft somewhere.”

CAC lost its 501(c)3 nonprofit designation for about a year and a half, although Kurfis is quick to note donations remained tax deductible since reinstatement was pending. It’s designation was restored this summer.

“We do have a complicated history,” Staples said. “It’s really frustrating to not be able to fix all the past mistakes. But we need to go forward on a clean slate.”

The beginning

Community

A Toledo tradition since 2005

Finished in 1905, the CAC is a registered historical site designed by prominent Toledo architect E.O. Fallis as a convent for the Ursuline Order of the Sacred Heart. It later housed Mary Manse College and St. Ursula Academy.

It was Pat Tansey’s idea to turn it into a community art center.

“

We’re in the process of figuring out what we want to be when we grow up. There’s still a lot of work to do, but we’ve come pretty far. ... I turned the ship slightly and now I’m stepping out of the way to let the most capable people do it.”

—Sarah Kurfis

“The nuns told me in 1983 that they were going to move out of the building and they didn’t know what would happen to it. That’s when I came into the picture,” Tansey said.

“In October 1984, they walked away from the building and gave me the keys and I walked in. In the early years I was pretty much alone trying to make things work here.”

With the end of the artist residency

program, CAC lost its main source of funding, which now comes from studio rentals, event space rentals and proceeds from events, Kurfis said. All current funds are tied into basic operating costs, but the hope is to eventually shift to capital improvements.

Future needs will include a new roof, electrical upgrades, plumbing upgrades and more, Kurfis said.

“We’ve been chasing crises and plugging little holes and can’t get ahead of the big stuff yet,” she said.

“Cleaning up after the residents has taken us a lot longer than we originally anticipated. It was one of those things where the culture had probably eroded over time and the building was not being treated respectfully. We’re still throwing out garbage every week that’s accumulated over years.”

A boiler donated by the local chapter of the National Electrical Contractors should help prevent heating situations like the one that led to the end of the residency program, Tansey said.

“We have a working bicycle, but we have training wheels and we’d like to take them off at some point,” Staples said.

New mission

CAC’s new mission statement is “to provide an outlet for creative community involvement while preserving

7

a historic space.” Its new tagline is Creating Community Through Art. Over the past few months, Kurfis, Staples and a host of volunteers have added fresh coats of paint and started landscaping projects. About 20 artists and organizations rent studio space in the building. Meeting rooms and event rentals are also available.

“The community didn’t know this building was worth saving because they hadn’t seen it and we weren’t doing anything to give back. There was no reason for outside people to support us,” Kurfis said. “I’m really excited about the progress.”

Restoration

Pam Pullella of Sylvania Township and her husband John volunteer regularly at CAC. “It’s a beautiful building, but it hasn’t gotten the love and attention it needed over the years,” Pullella said. “I would love to see it brought back to its original grandeur, to let it shine how it did, to become a magnet for the arts. It’s really great how [Kurfis and Staples] are trying to make it a community space and get people more involved.”

Many groups that rent studio space at CAC are also happy with the new direction. n COLLINGWOOD CONTINUES ON 8

n COLLINGWOOD CONTINUED FROM 7 Barry Aslinger started the T-Town Tassels burlesque troupe at CAC earlier this year. He and his partner are the only former residents still living at CAC. Aslinger stayed on doing maintenance work at the building, which he calls a “jewel” ASLINGER of Toledo.

“More has been done now since Lexi and Sarah have been in place than I’ve seen since I moved in,” Aslinger said. “It’s brighter, it’s cleaner, the energy that flows through the building is more welcoming. The whole vibe has changed and a lot of people are supporting the fact that it’s moving forward so progressively.”

The changes have been good for business, said Erin Garber-Pearson, who founded Bird’s Eye View Circus Space at CAC in 2011.

“The building is on the mend,” Garber-Pearson said. “The visual upkeep of the space has definitely changed and that’s really huge for me running a professional business there.

“It was a hard situation (with the former residents). It’s someone’s home but it’s also my business and my business

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com has needs different from the needs of a living space. For me, I like having it as more of a professional organization now.

“If folks want to see the building prosper, grow and continue to evolve and be the center the community needs, it’s a good time to take some of the personal needs out of that and look at the larger picture, which I think Lexi and Sarah have both done.

“They are both really invested in the community and have the drive needed to make connections with other parts of the community, not just artists. We are really broadening the scope into a community center that’s related to the arts, but also services the community in ways not currently offered.”

Performing arts, in particular, have “really blossomed” at CAC, she said “There have been more shows here in the last six months than in the past three years I’ve been here combined,” GarberPearson said. “It’s just been incredibly busy here, which is really exciting.”

TOLEDO FREE PRESS NEWS EDITOR dstanton@toledofreepress.com

Jacqueline Federico of HK Mission was born three months premature and in the years since has come close to death fourth separate times.

Since 2001, when she graduated from the University of Toledo with a degree in communications, she has had 20 surgeries.

Her health issues read like a medical journal: fibromyalgia, a tumor on her pituitary gland, migraines, a learning disability, an artificial eye, ADHD. She lived at the University of Michigan Medical Center for three months when her stomach and small bowel became paralyzed in 2011; it was there she realized what it must be like for kids in the hospital.

“I was going crazy,” Federico, 39, recalled. “I was tired of looking at those double M’s because I’m a Buckeye fan. If it wasn’t for my husband (Frank) buying me a Kindle and my dog coming to see me, I would have gone nuts. n HK MISSION CONTINUES ON 11

Toledo woman gives activity pouches to sick kids

Jacqueline FEDERICO says her own experiences in the hospital led her to found HK Mission, to make hospital stays better for kids.

n HK MISSION CONTINUED FROM 10 “I can’t imagine a poor little kid going through all that, being away from home, being away from parents; they have to go to work and leave the child in the hospital. I was like, man, they are away from school, away from their pets. I’ve got to do something.”

Katie Faulkner’s son, Timmy, was born with a rare disease. On June 2, the 8-year-old boy was admitted to Mercy St. Vincent Children’s Hospital in great pain and with a high fever.

Doctors found an infection in his leg.

Timmy was sad about missing his last week of school and beginning the summer sick. As he lay in his hospital bed, bored and restless, he got a nice surprise that lifted his spirits.

Federico, organizer and head of the HK Mission Toledo branch, had delivered 36 activity pouches filled with coloring books, crayons and pencils in May and the nurses had one for Timmy.

“He was so excited,” Faulkner said.

“He looked through the bag right away and kept saying ‘Mom, look at this’ or ‘so cool.’ He was so excited by this bag and we had to pull everything out and play with it right then and there. There was a card game, an activity book, pencils, crayons, a bracelet, a ball and so much more.”

With Timmy’s rare disease, he has spent many hours in the hospital but has never received anything like the activity pouch, Faulkner said.

“It was really awesome as a mom because … there’s nothing I can do for him even in the hospital. This gave him something to be excited about and there’s no better feeling as a mom than to know your kids are excited,” Faulkner said.

The “HK” in HK Mission stands for “healing through kindness.” With the mission statement of “spreading the love of Jesus through one simple pouch,” the mission, founded in Pennsylvania, is dedicated to bringing ac-

tivity pouches to children in hospitals around the country.

“With every activity pouch there is a get-well card made from a child or adult in the community, there’s a prayer card so that the mother can pass it along to another mother whose child is in the hospital, there’s a sheet with prayers on it so the mother can pray at the bedside of her child, and many toys and activities to brighten the sick child’s life during their stay in the hospital,” said Federico.

Dawn Rack of Pennsylvania started HK Mission about two years ago after her children Hunter and Kendall were bored and depressed while sick in the hospital. They had nothing to do until the Red Box Organization gave them activity boxes. Rack decided to take the idea to her church, which helped her establish HK Mission.

Rack and Federico are fraternity “brothers” at the co-ed Alpha Phi Omega. Rack saw Federico in her Boy Scout uniform for an Alpha Phi

Omega alumni picture on Facebook and wondered why the scouts and HK Mission couldn’t do a project together.

Federico, mindful of her experience at UM Medical Center, decided to take on the challenge and do a project for HK Mission as a service project for Alpha Phi Omega. That one project has turned into her life’s purpose.

“I’ve got to have faith — that’s what I love about this mission. I believe this is what I was meant to do.

I really do,” Federico said. “It’s fun, seeing the kids’ faces when they open the pouch and say ‘Oh my gosh! Is this all for me?’ It’s neat. I’m a very optimistic person, a very spiritual person. Even when I’m in pain, I still truck along anyways.”

Federico became a representative for direct sales company ThirtyOne Gifts to buy the zipper activity pouches. She enlists the community to help her pay for the pouches and to make the get-well cards and activities that fill the pouches.

“February 26 I signed up. It was hard to get people to donate … to do fundraisers. I started paying it with my own money and own al-

lowance. I started a Facebook page, and started taking pictures of beginning to end, of everything,” Federico said. “Next thing you know, people started asking me, ‘What’s this HK Mission?’ All of a sudden people started realizing ‘Hey, what she’s doing is real. It’s legit.’ People started coming out of the woodwork to do it. But I still need help.

“This has totally changed my life,” Federico said. “With literally almost dying four times — I coded last year — some people don’t know their purpose in life. Me, I can say I made a difference in a lot of kids’ lives. If I die, I know I will die happy because of the fact I made a difference. Not a lot of people can say that. I know it’s my purpose. I love doing it.”

There are several ways to become involved in HK Mission: go online to buy or donate a pouch; hold a fundraiser to raise the money for the pouches; donate the activities that fill up the pouch; assist in assembling the pouches; help deliver the pouches to kids at hospitals; make get well cards and more.

Industry, retailers commit to cleaner water standards

By Danielle Stanton

Toledo Free Press News Editor dstanton@toledofreepress.com

Those responsible for much of the fertilizer sprayed on crop fields in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana are not farmers, but rather the farmers’ crop advisers and agricultural retailers.

The Nature Conservancy and the Ohio Agribusiness Association have developed a program in which crop advisers and retailers — those companies that sell fertilizer to farmers and also apply it — can undergo voluntary certification in an effort to prevent chemical runoff from fields.

After a rainfall, the runoff from fertilized fields is laden with nutrients.

The nutrients flow into tributaries, rivers and into Ohio’s biggest natural resource, Lake Erie. Among the nutrients is phosphorous, which is the main culprit in forming the toxic algae blooms responsible for a shutdown of Toledo’s water supply in August.

The 4R Nutrient Stewardship Certification Program is a voluntary certification process in which companies undergo an audit and must demonstrate they are applying fertilizer in a responsible manner.

The program shows the agricultural industry’s commitment to clean water, said Chris Henney, president and CEO of Ohio Agribusiness Association, a trade group that manages the program.

“We’re very proud of our work on this and we think it’s very important we all do our part. I think our program is one way to show we’re committed to being part of the solution,” Henney said. “These companies want to show they’re committed and that they are very supportive of this program.”

In March, crop advisers and retailers began the process of certification. Currently, 50 companies are being audited, although Henney declined to name any of them. He did say their response to the program has been overwhelmingly positive. The companies are primarily from Northwest Ohio in the Western Lake Erie watershed. A few are outside the watershed or from Michigan and Indiana.

Program managers are expected to announce the first company to earn its certification in October, Henney said.

The 4R Nutrient Stewardship Certification Program ensures companies are proficient in the best practices and the best science behind applying fer-

“Doing it Different. Doing it Right.”

The 4R practice helps to keep fertilizer on the crops where it belongs, and out of the water supply. As part of the program criteria, companies are not allowed to apply fertilizer on frozen ground or apply before a heavy rainfall.

The watershed is 7 million acres; 2009 DoDge Ram 1500 fewer than 5 million is farmland.

Maumee River busy with new project, freighter action

By Don Lee

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

A busy week along the Maumee River saw one long-term project begin, one freighter become legally idled and another return to service after two years of idleness.

Sept. 17 saw the arrival of the former Bob-Lo ferry Columbia at the small drydock at Ironhead Shipyard, and the sailing of the lake freighter Adam E. Cornelius for the first time in more than two years.

Historic ferry

Columbia, towed by the tugs Manitou and Captain Keith, is the oldest surviving passenger steamer on the Great Lakes, and was used to ferry people from Detroit to the former amusement park on Boblo Island for many years. The five-deck steamer is at the center of a nonprofit project to refurbish her and return her to service, this time as a cruise boat on the Hudson River in New York.

Ironhead’s part of the project is to inspect the boat and make sure she is in good enough shape to tow to New York, which is expected to take place by next August, according to The Detroit Free Press.

Columbia, built in 1902 in Wyandotte, Michigan, was designed to carry more than 3,000 passengers on five decks, and included mahogany

staircases and an open-air ballroom, a unique feature allowed for by a new framing system designed by marine architect Frank Kirby.

Columbia last sailed for Boblo Island in 1991; by then, competition from Cedar Point had become too much for the amusement park.

Columbia’s sister ship, Ste. Claire, briefly spent time in Toledo several years ago, with an eye toward restoration. Ste. Claire, also designed by Kirby, was built in Toledo but returned to her berth alongside Columbia in Ecorse, Michigan.

Both boats were given a cosmetic restoration for the filming of “Transformers: Age of Extinction.”

Return to service

Another Toledo-built boat of more modern heritage sailed last week for the first time in more than two years.

American Steamship Co.’s lake freighter Adam E. Cornelius, idled just downriver from Ironhead, sailed Sept. 17. A reviving economy has created enough demand for iron ore and associated cargoes that Cornelius was needed.

Cornelius had been tied up since January 2012 at a piece of riverfront property along Front Street, owned by the shipping line.

Cornelius, a 680-foot, self-unloading bulk freighter, was built in Toledo and launched in 1973 as the Roger M. Kyes, the name she had until

1989. She is the largest ship to have been built in Toledo, and at the time of her launch was the first new vessel to have been built at the Toledo shipyard since 1959, according to the Great Lakes site boatnerd.com The ship’s return to service has kept her busy operating between Lake Superior ports and, as of Sept. 24, a week since she sailed, she was in Lake Huron.

Unpaid bills totaling $900,000 are still keeping an oceangoing freighter tied up at the Midwest Overseas Terminal on the Maumee.

The freighter Fritz, registered in Liberia and with a Romanian crew, hasn’t been able to leave Toledo since arriving in August to drop off a load of steel coil.

This is the second time on the same trip the Fritz has encountered trouble, being detained for more than two weeks in Oshawa, Ontario, near Toronto after being towed there by tugs because of engine problems, according to the Oshawa Express newspaper.

She was repaired before being allowed to proceed to Toledo.

A port official who spoke to the Express in July said the Fritz, which was built in 2010, looked as though it had been “manufactured in 1910” because of its condition.

In photos taken of the Fritz by freighter fans in Toledo, the ship is

showing considerable rust and wear on her hull.

There were also problems in July with the crew being paid, but the Oshawa paper cited a man claiming to be the Fritz’s captain who said that had been resolved after a new management company took over the ship.

The crew received assistance from churches in the Toronto area’s Romanian community, the Express reported.

Scrap future

The future is dimmer for two American Steamship Co. fleetmates in long-term layup at the mouth of the Maumee.

The freighters American Fortitude and American Valor are likely candidates for the scrapyard. Both ships, of the older, classic Great Lakes design, have been idle since 2008 and the

tight-knit community of freighter fans who call themselves “boatnerds” have been speculating among themselves whether or when the freighters will meet their end.

Bottom-line-conscious shippers have considered the older ships too expensive to operate, even the ones in good condition. Some lake boats built in the 1940s are still in service.

Parts have been taken off the Valor for use aboard similar ships, according to boatnerd.com, and there was a brief flurry of speculation this week when one boatwatcher reported the heavy tug Ohio, which has in the past been used to tow ships to the scrapyard, had left Cleveland and was headed west on Lake Erie. However, that tug bypassed Toledo and as of Wednesday afternoon was in the Detroit River industrial area. O

THE RETIREMENT GUYS

Retirement health care can be costly

f you are retired, you probably already know that health care costs can put a big dent in your budget. If you are not retired, you may still be in the dark about what the costs will actually end up being.

Wait a minute. At age 65 everyone is required to enroll in Medicare, which is a free benefit in retirement, right?

Wrong! At 65, most people do enroll in Medicare (unless they are still working and covered by an employer plan), but unfortunately it is not free. We will get to how much Medicare costs in a bit,

but let’s first get an idea of how much health care might cost in retirement.

According to a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of the CMS Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey Cost and Use File in 2006, people age 65-74 will spend, on average, about $3,500 per year on a combination of insurance premiums and services. As you get older it may be more likely you will need health care and therefore likely that you will spend more money to get it. In the same analysis, people age 75-84 may

Beware if you’re married because this is per person.

Depending on how much money you have saved and how well you have planned your budget in retirement, this chunk of change can cause financial stress.

That is the last thing Mark we want in retireNolan ment. We all would like a happy and relaxing retirement. The point here is to spend some time and get familiar with what to expect in retirement health care costs and how you will pay for them.

Some people may not be aware that Medicare is not free. Part of the insurance premiums included above, Medicare Part B (doctors’ services, tests, etc.), is currently $104.90 per month.

This amount is typically deducted from your Social Security check. In addition to this premium Medicare Part A (hospital services) currently has a deductible of $1,216 per spell of illness.

Part B also has an annual deductible of $147. Then there is the cost of prescription drugs. There is a $310 per year deductible that many drug plans may cover, but you do have to pay for

the Part D drug plan itself. This can vary in cost depending on how may drugs you take and what they are.

Then there is this thing called the doughnut hole.

Doughnut hole? I am getting hungry now thinking about the old commercial with the guy waking up and saying over and over “Time to CLAIR make the doughnuts.” Sorry, I have BAKER a tendency to digress with random thoughts.

Once your drug costs have reached $2,850, there is a coverage gap (“doughnut hole”) that requires the beneficiary to pay the entire costs of medications. Catastrophic coverage then starts when total drug costs have reached $4,550. Confusing, huh? Wow. We have not even gotten to the fact that Medicare will only pay for up to 60 days of hospitalization before you must pay more money and 80 percent of Part B. This means you are exposed to the other 20 percent, whatever that may be. What to do?

Here are some important tips: 1. If you do not enroll in Medicare on time, you will pay a monthly penalty.

2. If you do not get the right pri-

vate insurance to go with Medicare, you may pay too much in premiums or out-of-pocket costs.

3. If you do not plan for higher health care costs in retirement, you could run out of money or not be able to get the care you need.

All this stuff can be very confusing and overwhelming. The main point is to start educating yourself as to what your costs may be so you are better prepared to pay them. Find an adviser who can be helpful with information on what to look for.

Tightrope walker Singer-songwriter seeks emotional equilibrium

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

A

taut wire high overhead. A daring soul drawn by the danger, the thrill. That ageless art of walking a straight line is still so suspenseful, such a spectacle. Captivated, Rachael Yamagata talks about her new song, “Tightrope Walker.”

“I love the idea of a tightrope walker and of trying to maintain balance and be amenable to the wind of change,” she said. “The physical realities of what you have to do —

ToyoTa/Scion

that graceful and powerless scenario if you’re a tightrope walker — was mirroring my life, my career.” Sitting outside with her two cats during a call from her home in Woodstock, New York, the singer-songwriter talked about her disc she expects to release early next year.

“Lyrically, the themes are definitely centered around these internal struggles we have with ourselves through our lives, and the inner fight, these wars we fight with ourselves,” she said.

While words for the theme came easily to Yamagata, explaining the sound was more elusive. “I’ve played with a lot

of dark, depressing, beautiful, stringheavy ballads all of my career,” she said. “And I’ve had some records that have flirted with more of a rock element. This one is — I don’t even know how to describe it yet. It has things like Tom Waits banging on ladders, and metal chains and beautiful piano, and harmonies and drum loops, and French-translated letters weaving under some of the tracks. The picture soundscape is creepy, and it’s beautiful at the same time.”

Fans have loved that dichotomy since Yamagata’s 2004 debut, “Happenstance,” and are supporting her

new disc on Pledge Music. As of Sept.

24, she was at 83 percent of her goal.

“I’m surprised by the number; I’m less surprised by the fans because the first time I did [the campaign for ‘Chesapeake’], that’s when I think we reached the goal in three days.

That really shocked me because it had been four years since I released a record. I had gone independent.

I didn’t even know if people were checking in on my website,” she said.

“That was when I really did not have a sounding board for where I was at with the audience, and that really showed me that, oh my God, they’re

“I think music is spiritual and it connects beyond words and it becomes a language that covers many, many layers all at once,” Yamagata said. “To me, the most powerful music that does that is something that’s honest and loyal to one’s self and one’s self-expression. And it is magic to me.” O

Village Players to debut ‘Village After Dark’ series

By Chase Will TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER star@toledofreepress.com

For anyone who’s ever been conned out of money, there’s always a lingering question: What would make a person do this?

“As Bees in Honey Drown” — the first production in The Village Players’ new The Village After Dark series — is a farce that explores the price GORDY of chasing fame.

“It’s about a socialite who sweeps in and finds this brand-new prodigy of an author and promises him the moon and stars to write the story of her life,” said director Jake Gordy. “He follows her around until all of a sudden she disappears. Then he finds out she’s really not who she presented herself as.”

Landon Tavernier plays Evan Wyler, the author with big dreams. After nine years of working on a novel, he jumps at the grandiose presentation of Alexa Vere de Vere, the manipulator.

“Vere de Vere lets his thirst for success overcome his decision making,” Tavernier said.

Most of the six actors involved play multiple characters. Throughout the show, the story of Alexa is revealed

through conversations with others she’s cheated.

“I play Morris Kaden, who ran into Alexa and was conned by her at one point in his career,” said TAVERNIER actor Evan James Copeland. “He’s the person who gives Evan the 411 on Alexa.”

“It’s kind of an interesting study in self-invention,” said actress Laura Crawford, who plays multiple COPELAND roles. “She invented this mix of characters from old movies and put them together to be able to do what she does. As much as you might not like her character, you can’t help but be fascinated by the fact she’s invented this version of herself that makes people want to follow her.”

Derek Hansen, who plays a painter named Mike, claims Alexa is able to manipulate artists mainly because of their pursuit for fame over art.

“Mike is probably the most psychologically healthy person in the entire show because he doesn’t want to be famous,” Hansen said. “He says, ‘This is what I want out of life: I want

to paint, and when I’m done painting I want to go out with my friends and have a couple beers; if the painting goes bad we’ll all laCRAWFORD ment, and if it goes well we’ll all rejoice.’ That’s all he wants out of life.”

Comedic elements are also present within the show. Crawford, for example, craftily HANSEN presents the character Amber, whose repetitive line is, “Amber wants to dance.”

“She’s one of my favorites because she’s ridiculous, and you can do so much with that one line,” Crawford said. Fans of this year’s film “Guardians of the Galaxy” will likely agree.

According to assistant director Chris Jagodzinski, The Village After Dark is a concert reading program that presents shows in their “rawest and truest forms.”

“There’s minimal set pieces, minimal props, and actors will have scripts onstage,” Jagodzinski said.

Jagodzinski said he expects this pro-

gram will draw younger audiences than The Village Players’ regular season. He credits this to the avant garde nature of these adult-themed shows.

“Not every show will be full of adult language and situations, but we’re showcasing shows that are more on the edge than our normal season,”

Jagodzinski said.

The Village After Dark is also seeking original works from local authors. These may be submitted as PDF documents at www.thevillageplayers.org.

“As Bees in Honey Drown” plays Oct. 3-4. Tickets are $10, available at the door. O

The man with nine lives A

he man behind the scenes of much of Northwest Ohio’s late-night local television is Andre Savage. His success with several shows he’s worked the camera for or produced himself has put a spotlight on the people in this city beyond what we see on the news. Shows like “Game Savvy,” “Game Savvy Late Night” and the recent “Love My 419” have allowed the Toledo area’s music, culture and everyday life to shine.

The difference between him and other aspiring television producers is that his shows are consistently on the air.

With so many ups and downs, one could believe Savage has nine lives in the entertainment industry. Savage is a complex and interesting character to say the least, but his passion is undeniable. He allowed me the oppor-

tunity to ask him about his television work — past, present and future.

Martini Rox: How did you start creating your own television shows?

Andre Savage: First, [the] television show was created at Defiance College called “Controlled Chaos” and that was kind of a smorgasbord of sorts, a prequel to what would soon be “Game Savvy” one day, conceptually to some degree. It revolved around happenings on campus and the immediate, Defiance area. Different things [like] videos were involved, talking to different people on campus, having the talk show feel so I was definitely zoned in that way. I created my own internship, because Defiance College did not have a program that was set up back then, which was [in the] early ’90s. That was not a path that was laid out. I graduated and was fortunate enough to get

ROX

the opportunity to work at NBC 24 as my first job as a camera person/editor.

Rox: You eventually moved to Atlanta, what opportunities did you experience while there?

Savage: I was actually working at the ABC affiliate [WSB], which is a Top 10 market where media is concerned when you talk about Atlanta, and having a supervisor’s position.

[At] WSB [I] ended up getting into editing coordinator, responsible for any of the editing going on air. A [guy] I met at WSB plugged me in with the people at Turner Sports and I was also able to lock down a position as an editor on the “Inside The NBA” show. In 1999 or 2000 that show received its first Emmy Award.

When you are a part of the cast, crew and production team ... all of those people receive an Emmy Award.

Rox: After you received an Emmy Award in Atlanta, what brought you back to Ohio?

Savage: With my marriage failing, I elected to pick myself up and move back to Ohio. Many would say [this] was probably the silliest move of my life. But I ended up doing a stint in Columbus because the wife and [my] child were there, so I ended up moving. It was tough to get a job for a while and that put some strain on the marriage.

I finally did get a spot at the ABC af-

Coming in I worked in sports radio on the air. I did the Sunday morning show for 1470 “The Ticket.”

In 2007, Savage began “Game Savvy,” the sports edition which spun off into “Game Savvy Late Night.” He

continually gives back by mentoring local talent and presenting them the opportunity to work behind the scenes as well as on air. He is also raising his teenage daughter who has shown interest in what can now be called “the family business.” On Oct. 5, his latest show, “Love My 419 AM,” will make its debut right before the “Today” show on NBC 24. It is Toledo’s version of “The View” or “The Talk” centered on Northwest Ohio and surrounding areas.

‘I Believe I Can Fly’ 5K to benefit The Arms Forces

By Margaret Dziubek Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

As the 180th Air National Guard Fighter Wing gathers for its monthly drill, the community is invited to support local nonprofit The Arms Forces at its first ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ 5K walk/run.

The event’s unique course will take participants around the 180th Air National Guard Base and the Toledo Express Airport. The event begins with check-in at 7:30 a.m. Oct. 5 at the Air Freight Building off Route 20A at Air Cargo Parkway East in Swanton, and the race kicks off at 9 a.m. Runners, walkers and spectators are all encouraged to participate.

Maumee-based nonprofit The Arms Forces was founded by Pam Hays, a survivor of traumatic brain injury eager

to help make health and social services more readily available to veterans who have undergone similar traumas.

The Arms Forces advocates on behalf of veterans, fights stigmas surrounding traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and provides support to veterans and their families struggling with the “invisible wounds” of war.

National Guard soldiers are being encouraged to run side by side with the community at this event. Hays wants to make sure veterans aren’t just supported by their fellow soldiers, but also by civilians.

“We want to show the veterans that they are cared about and loved in their community, and a race just seems to fit so much with the work we do,” said Hays, a Toledo Free Press columnist.

“We are interested in helping people to believe in themselves.”

The day’s festivities will include a costume contest. Participants or spectators dressed as pilots, flight attendants, military personnel or in any other aviation or patriotically themed

through Oct. 4, with early discounted registration ending Sept. 29. There will be a post-race celebration following the event. For more information, visit www.thearmsforces.org/5k/. O

Then you add in the designer’s perfect use of the license, particularly the work of the late Raul Julia as Gomez.

While many stars’ voice-overs on pinball tables are perfunctory at best (Arnold’s sleepy encouragement on the T2 table could put players into a coma), every line Julia delivered for “Addams” was boisterous and infectiously enthusiastic. When a player started the

table’s elusive multiball, it was impossible not to become giddy at the slowly building tension created by the lights and sounds, capped by Gomez’s exclamation: “SHOW TIME!” All these details remain burned into my memory even today, years after the era of the arcade has long since faded into the distance. Most video games from that era have been lovingly preserved and ported to modern consoles for a new generation of gamers to appreciate.

make the transition.

Farsight Studios out of California has been working to change that.

Through its multiplatform release “Pinball Arcade,” the developer has worked to port classic pinball machines to modern audiences. The problem is, many old machines come laden with licenses that make them prohibitively expensive. Farsight has worked to make these games a reality through Kickstarter fundraisers, successfully bringing “Twilight Zone,” “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “T2” to new consoles.

Now, finally, the chance has come to make an “Addams Family” port a reality. Farsight has listed a new fundraiser, asking for $97,000 to earn enough to secure the rights to the actors’ licenses and finally, finally make the greatest table ever made available in digital form. (Copies of the finished table come with just a $7 donation.)

As “The Art of Video Games” exhibit comes to a close at Toledo Museum of Art, I hope fans inspired by its memories of eras gone by consider chipping in a couple bucks toward preserving one of the most important pieces of arcade history. “Pac-Man” is available everywhere.

You can play “Mortal Kombat” in any format imaginable. But “The Addams Family” remains just a memory.

That can, and should, change.

Show time! O Farsight’s “Addams Family” Kickstarter runs through Oct. 12. Visit http://bit.ly/ addamskickstarter for details.

Your Tarotgram and Horoscope

Sept. 28 – Oct. 4, 2014

Events: Venus enters Libra (29th); Mercury retrograde in Scorpio (4th) Aries (March 21-April 19)

Libra (September 23-October 22)

You’re an inspired fireball as fortunate connections flow on Monday and Tuesday. After Wednesday, bombastic behavior attracts the wrong kind of attention. Convivial events on Friday present opportunities to meet fascinating new people. Leave by midnight; lay low on Saturday.

Efforts to expand your network of friends are productive as the week starts. After Wednesday, you’re drawn back to the past. Friday is fantastic for attracting new friends at evening events. If intense domestic issues arise on Saturday, stop and think before acting.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Family and domestic activities are in the works. There’s a new focus in your work; ask for guidance if you’re unsure of what’s wanted. Social networks wobble after Thursday.

People get into intense situations, but details may be garbled. Watch and wait quietly on Saturday.

You gain benefits from partners and coworkers as the week begins. Expect ah-ha moments from unexpected discoveries midweek. Relationships and health issues present frustrating delays and complications after Thursday.

Be prepared to wait for full disclosure.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

You get introductions to new people as the week begins.

Move slowly with new acquaintances. People may make promises or offers, and then become inaccessible. You soar on Friday night. The gossip mill is in overdrive on Saturday; relationships are in transition.

Friendships are a mixed blessing, and it will take careful diplomacy to retain equitable give-and-take balances through October. Slow down reaction times and think before speaking. Actions inspired by good intentions and off-hand remarks can be misunderstood.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Domestic reorganization and preparations are needed this week. Avoid major purchases after Wednesday. Family members are drawn into new situations with high hopes, but avoid big expectations. Give people plenty of room to change course and change minds.

Leaders are encouraging but noncommittal. Consider limits and boundaries before acting, as the first person through the breech takes all the bullets. Complete projects but hold off on initiating new ones. People in groups can be lemmings; steer clear of group-think.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

You’re bubbling with enthusiasm as the week begins.

Recent successes and good news carry you on a wave of enthusiasm. Demanding work situations arise after Wednesday. Remain balanced and conservative about other people's entanglements. Proceed slowly on Saturday.

Good timing helps you connect with special people as the week begins. Confer with trusted friends making major lifepath adjustments. Your priorities will change in October.

Annoying delays or breakdowns after Thursday could be beneficial in the long-run.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Fresh landscapes and environments are exciting and fun to explore. New acquaintances may seem nice, but be discreet about sharing confidences. Invisible connections are revealed midweek. Be patient with learning processes, and get detailed directions to destinations.

As the week begins, your eye is on the future. There are many possibilities open to you. Keep searching; don’t rush into anything during October. People who are unknown or inaccessible as the month begins will be available to guide you when the month ends.

Rocky Balboa may look tough, but when it comes down to it he is a big softy. Rocky Balboa is a 1-year-old male pit bull mix who came into the shelter through the cruelty department. He has some injuries but is recovering very well. Rocky Balboa is a quick learner who will easily pick up on some basic obedience training.

He is in need of a home that will give him a peaceful outlet so he can relax his body and mind and enjoy all of the wonders of being loved. Rocky Balboa is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations and is microchipped.

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

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

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

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