A TPS opportunity

T

he Sept. 27 resignation of Toledo Public Schools Treasurer Dan Romano had synchronicity with a number of important issues.

The state of TPS and its vital role in Toledo’s future is an ongoing concern. Simply put, our region cannot thrive without the best possible schools, and a variety of factors — some human, some economic, some societal — are preventing the system from providing the results our future demands. The tumult has seen three superintendents in the past few years, a major money-theft scandal and dissent on the TPS Board of Education.

Concurrently, the state faces a divisive vote on Nov. 8 with the fate of Issue 2, a referendum-driven vote on Senate Bill 5, which Gov. John Kasich signed into law in late March. According to the Ohio Secretary of State website, “SB5 would change which public employees would be able to bargain collectively and over what issues.”

That sounds fairly innocuous for legisThomas F. POUNDS lation that has sharply divided people and forced an examination of the role of unions and the public sector.

Into this, the Romano situation unwarily stumbles. As part of his contract, Romano, who apparently was having trouble making timely payments on TPS obligations, will receive a reported $230,000 on his way out the door. That includes sick and vacation compensation and a negotiated settlement amount.

At a time when so much of the public sector, and TPS specifically, is financially strapped, news like this bolsters anti-union sentiment.

It may be coincidental bad timing, but it provides fodder for those who understand that the old (current) way of doing business is not sustainable. SB5 is flawed, but it is an important step in redefining how the public sector conducts business.

The Romano exit provides an immediate opportunity for TPS. When it hires its next treasurer, it has an obligation to forge a contract that is not bloated with large payouts and promises of gold at the end of the rainbow.

If TPS conducts business as usual and allows a new contract to contain the same old burdens and unrealistic largesse, it will have accomplished at least two things. It will have demonstrated it has no desire to bring costs into line, and it will have greatly set back its chances of receiving levy support when that time rolls around.

TPS will be closely watched as it works to secure a new treasurer. It is strongly urged to show us that it understands the new fiscal realities and can be proactive in leading the way toward building a smarter, leaner business model. ✯ Thomas F.

PEOPLE

By Jason Mack TOLEDO FREE PRESS WEB EDITOR jmack@toledofreepress.com

The world of technology and the world as a whole lost an inventing legend Oct. 5 when former Apple CEO Steve Jobs died at the age of 56.

“Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last,” President Barack Obama said. “Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: He changed the way each of us sees the world.”

Jobs resigned as Apple’s chief in August and most likely died of complications from a rare type of pancreatic cancer.

“The sorrow over the death of Jobs is so great, even for people who do not live and work in the tech bubble, because his inventions became basic necessities in our lives,” said Ken Edwards of Meancode Media in Bowling Green. “The iPod, iPhone and iPad have not just changed the way we work and play, they have changed industries. But the list goes on and on: Pixar changed the film industry; the Mac changed personal computing and later the desktop publishing and design industry. Among the greatest of American innovators, Steven P. Jobs will not soon be forgotten.”

When Jobs resigned, Tim Cook took over as CEO of Apple.

“Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being,” Cook said.

“Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built,

and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.”

The loss of Jobs is also being mourned by Apple’s competitors.

“For those of us lucky enough to get to work with Steve, it’s been an insanely great honor,” Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates said. “I will miss Steve immensely.”

“Today the world lost a visionary leader, the technology industry lost an iconic legend and I lost a friend and fellow founder,” Dell Inc. founder and CEO Michael Dell said. “The legacy of Steve Jobs will be remembered for generations to come.”

Jobs started Apple out of his parents’ garage with Steve Wozniak in Silicon Valley in 1976 after HewlettPackard Co. turned down Wozniak’s computer logic board design. They built the board together and called it the Apple I. “We’ve lost something we won’t get back,” Wozniak said. “The way I see it, though, the way people love products he put so much into creating means he brought a lot of life to the world.”

“Remember that this huge company Apple began with a brilliant idea and a solid work ethic in a garage,” said Kevin Cesarz, social media director at Thread Marketing Group and consultant at MrElshMedia. “The entire new media landscape owes a debt of gratitude to Steve Jobs for a suite of ideas so complete that people now have the power to change the world from their homes, cars or while walking down the street.”

One of Apple’s biggest innovations was the Macintosh, introduced in 1984. Andy Dempster, managing member of the MacCafé at 4405 Talmadge Road, attended one of Jobs’ presentations of the Macintosh.

“He was a great man, and I wouldn’t

have my business if it wasn’t for him,” Dempster said. “I never met him. I’ve been to presentations he’s famous for.

I remember the first one I ever saw.

They did kind of a road show for the introduction of the Macintosh for dealers. I think it was in January 1984.

It wasn’t even a stage because it was in a hotel ballroom in Chicago. We sat right in the first row, no more than 15-20 feet from Jobs and John Scully when they showed the new product.

They did a 1984 commercial on a big screen. It was just amazing. He was an amazing guy. He’s Thomas Edisonlike. He ran a team of very bright people who invented some amazing products. Hopefully his spirit lives on and guides the company.”

Jobs was fired by Apple in 1985 following a power struggle, and he founded NeXT Computer later that year. Apple bought NeXT in 1996 for $429 million, and by 1997 Jobs was CEO again. He guided the company through the invention of revolutionary products such as the iPod, the iTunes Store and the iPhone.

“Steve Jobs is truly legendary,” said Joseph Chao, associate professor and graduate coordinator in the Department of Computer Science at BGSU. “It’s his Apple II computer that got me hooked to the world of computing. He is a genius who never stopped innovating. He inspired all of us with his vision, and made the world a better place.

I can’t image the world without Apple and all his iDevices. It’s a sad day for the nation even though we’ve known it’s coming since Steve has being battling with the deadly pancreatic cancer for some time now. I will always remember Steve Jobs every time I sit in front of my iMac purchased this past summer.”

“Steve Jobs is the reason I am in this career,” Adkins said. “I remember being 7 years old and walking into the Dodge City Public Library and seeing this thing. They called it a computer and it said “Apple ][e on it (or was it //e)?” I spent a lot of time on that machine and the IIc+ my parents bought me for Christmas when I was 9 and the IIgs I got for high school. About two years ago in Detroit, I got to meet the other Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, and thanked him for making those Apple computers that started my fascination with all things digital.

“Unfortunately, I was never able to thank Mr. Jobs. VanGuard Technologies exists because of the vision of Steve Jobs. He was an amazing human being. Rest in peace, Steve.” ✯

TIPS ON SELLING GOLD JEWELRY

TIPS ON SELLING DIAMONDS

1. Broken/Wornout jewelry is re-cycled 2. Wearable and Saleable jewelry is purchased at a PREMIUM over re-cycled price 3. Older jewelry dating 1950 and before is very much in demand if in good condition and commands an even higher PREMIUM 4. Very valuable jewelry can be CONSIGNED until it is sold to a collector netting you 50% to 200% more than re-cycled price.

5. All jewelry described above is worth more when trading in towards new jewelry; 50% more than re-cycled price

Catmull said in a statement released yesterday.

Under Jobs’ ownership, Pixar would earn nearuniversal acclaim as the most important animation studio in the world, creating one beloved film after another. The company’s rise would see traditional animation fall out of favor and Pixar-inspired computer-made films become the norm. But few of the pretenders could match Pixar’s knack for creating imaginative worlds and identifiable characters. The company, in its 25-year history, has won 26 Oscars and grossed more than $6 billion at the box office.

But Jobs wasn’t done changing the world. After his return to Apple in the mid-’90s, he would oversee the introduction of product after product that forever changed how people interact with the media.

The iPod and iTunes store revolutionized music.

The iPhone made mobile Internet an everyday fact of life. The iPad will end up having a greater impact on more kinds of entertainment than almost any invention in the past few years.

Gaming, print, music, movies, advertising and on and on — every one of them was, and will continue to be, changed forever by these innovations.

And by the man who stood at their core. More than probably any one individual you can name, Steve Jobs was — and is — pop culture. ✯ Email Toledo Free Press Star columnist Jeff McGinnis at PopGoesJeff@gmail.com.

Occupy Toledo plans Oct. 10 meeting in Downtown Toledo TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

While protesters gather on Wall Street, some Toledoans are planning an “Occupy Toledo” event Oct. 10.

The event will begin 11 a.m. at Levis Square in Downtown Toledo.

A representative of the movement declined to respond to interview questions, stating, “we are beyond the party affiliations or labels used by popular media. No individual or select group of individuals can be the face of our movement.”

According to its website, “Occupy Toledo is a nonviolent assembly of individuals from all walks of life who stand in solidarity with the occupation of Wall Street in New York City and with the overarching Occupy movement across our nation and

across the world.”

Other Occupy movements have sprung up across the nation, including in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus.

Everyone is welcome to join the movement, said Sean Nestor, a recent Toledo City Council primary candidate and a donor to Occupy Toledo.

While Nestor was not directly involved in planning the event, he said several of his friends were and that he will bring blankets and food to protestors who stay overnight.

“It’s gonna get cold soon,” Nestor said. “But I know some of [the protestors] quite personally and I know they will stick it out.”

The purpose of Toledo’s movement is not officially set, but will be determined at daily meetings known as the general assembly.

“We cannot tell you our demands.

These details are up for debate at the General Assembly starting on October 10th,” Occupy Toledo said in its email. An end date for Occupy Toledo hasn’t been set.

“It’s truly being planned to go on indefinitely,” Nestor said.

A pre-occupy sign creation meeting will occur at The Revolution Collective, 2925 Scottwood Ave., on Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. Donations are being accepted at www.wepay.com/donate/9614.

As of Oct. 6, $300 has been col-

DEVELOPMENT

Port Authority awaits funds for airport project

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

Ohio’s Development Financing

Advisory Council (DFAC) recommended the release of a Logistics and Distribution Stimulus (LDS) loan in the amount of $2.78 million to the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority to

upgrade shipping facilities at Toledo Express Airport.

The DFAC requested final approval from the state controlling board Sept. 26 to authorize the release

of the LDS loan to the Port Authority for the purchase of equipment and machinery to make improvements to the existing Intermodal Cargo Hub facility at the airport.

Paul Toth, president/CEO of the Port Authority said the funds were requested before BAX Global vacated the Intermodal Cargo Hub facility.

However, Port Authority officials requested reallocation of the funds to modify the facility for possible new occupants.

“We want to modify the current air-sorting facility so it could be used as a truck sorting operation in addition to air,” Toth said.

The Cargo Hub facility has 279,000 square feet of space and 2.6 miles of conveyors designed for handling large amounts of freight for air shipments.

The Port Authority has negotiated an early lease termination with BAX Global, which had originally leased the facility through November 2013. They hope to have an agreement signed in the next week or so, Toth said.

“It would allow us to begin marketing the facility to potential users. We

already have our eyes on some potential customers for that facility,” Toth said.

The project would involve the purchase of ground-handling, sort machinery and equipment with the addition of several truck bays to the existing facility to attract large logistics and distribution operations.

The LDS loan represents approximately 75 percent of the total investment of $3.7 million at TOTH the project site.

According to the project scope submitted to the DFAC, the port authority committed to create 100 new full-time and 400 new part-time jobs and 10 construction jobs as a result of the project.

The DFAC approves all low-interest, long-term, fixed-asset loans for companies considering expanding in or relocating to Ohio. However, the loans must receive final approval from the state controlling board. ✯

DEVELOPMENT

NAMSA receives tax credits for expansion The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved a 70-percent, six-year tax credit on Sept. 26 for North American Science Associates. (NAMSA) and the creation of $800,000 in additional payroll as part of the company’s planned expansion in the City of Northwood.

The Job Creation Tax Credit was a major factor in NAMSA’s decision to expand in Ohio, according to company officials.

“The tax credit cinched the deal for us,” said Jane Kervin, chief financial officer at NAMSA. Tax incentives from the State of Ohio made the state more competitive and helped move the local expansion project ahead. The City of Northwood committed financial support for the proposed project in a letter dated Aug. 23. A 10-year, 100-percent real property tax exemption was granted by an agreement between NAMSA and the City of Northwood.

“Our business is expanding for medical device manufacturers and requires additional laboratory space to handle the growth,” Kervin said.

The proposed project involves the expansion of the toxicology laboratory, which would provide space for additional testing to be performed and support a more efficient flow of existing operations.

NAMSA is planning a four-stage expansion that would add 20,000 square feet to the existing 120,000 square-foot facility in Northwood.

“Work is scheduled to begin this fall. We have requests for bids out now and expect to finalize that process in October and begin construction in November,” Kervin said.

According to the proposal filed with the state, NAMSA would make a fixed asset investment of $7.5 million in machinery and equipment, building renovation and construction.

The company is recruiting and hiring 20 full-time employees for its operations and administrative staff, including laboratory technologists. The process is handled by an in-house recruiter and human resources staff. ✯ — Duane Ramsey

An inside look at Hollywood Casino Toledo’s interview process feel like that dealer is your best friend as soon as you sit zdavis@toledofreepress.com down. You don’t On Sept. 30, Hollywood Casino Toledo began want any awkward taking applications for hundreds of open dealer [greetings], you just positions. In the five days since the announcement, want it to flow natuthe casino, which is tentatively scheduled to open rally. As the casino April 1, has received roughly 1,500 applications for customer, it shouldn’t even cross your mind that you just met this person, it should just be natural. the positions and expects to receive more.

When the interview process began Oct. 4, That is why personality is so key in this.”

The group interview is the fi rst of three stages Toledo Free Press partnered with the casino’s Advertising and Promotions Manager John Mc- that interviewees will face. The Hollywood CaNamara to pose undercover as a potential can- sino Toledo staff will also give a math test and didate — unbeknownst to both the casino’s staff conduct a one-on-one interview.

The fi rst stage of the interview, the group inand other applicants — to learn what Toledoans terview, requires each applicant to verbally anshould expect when they interview.

Prospective employees are corralled into a swer a few questions about themselves. This inlarge room with comfortable chairs as music cludes name, position desired (full time or part plays in the background. The interviewers time), a question about themselves and a situaquickly attempt to find personalities in the tion in which they dealt with others. The real test room, bantering back and forth with each of this round, however, is the applicant’s ability other to see if candidates will chime in. This to showcase their personality in the limited time atmosphere sets the stage for the applicants to they have to discuss the answers.

“Group interviews are normally very tense,” showcase their personalities.

“The biggest thing we are looking for in all McNamara said. “People don’t know how to act. positions and specifically dealers is personality,” We really wanted to make it laid-back because McNamara said. “It is something that we cannot then we can get a true gauge for what somebody’s train; you either have it or you don’t. We can train character and personality is like. In the group you how to deal cards and all the technical stuff portion of that interview, really the only thing we are looking for is personality. To make it to the but we have to have that personality aspect.

“It is so crucial. Imagine going to a casino next round for the one-on-one, you have got to and you walk up to a table. You almost need to have the personality.”

M E N ’ S

The second stage of the interview is the math test, which is a test of basic mathematics knowledge and speed. Applicants are given five minutes to answer 60 basic problems including addition, multiplication and division. Although the biggest challenge for most potential employees has been finishing the entire test in the allotted five minutes, completion is not required to be recommended for employment.

The fi nal stage is the one-on-one interview, where an employee will take an applicant into a separate room to ask more personal questions.

The questions fi elded are fairly standard, including the reason the person is interested in the position and listing the traits that would make an applicant a good fit.

If an applicant has done well in all three stages, they will be notified that they will be recommended for employment, which for full-time can fall in the $35,000-40,000 range. Applicants will be required to answer an email that will be sent within 48 hours. Being recommended does not guarantee employment.

A recommendation gains an applicant access to a class at Owens Commmunity College, which requires a $200 fee for tuition. The fi rst class begins Oct. 31 and will teach everything an employee would need to handle blackjack during

W O M E N ’ S

a fi ve-week period. The top students will then move on to learn craps (8-12 weeks).

Following the course, applicants will face an audition where they will be a dealer to real people, some of whom need the game explained to them. If they can pass the audition, they will be offered employment.

“I would say if you pass dealer school, and not barely pass it, there’s a very good chance you will pass the audition,” McNamara said. “If you pass the audition, you get offered the job.”

For applicants who already have dealer experience, the class at Owens is not required. They can skip to the audition, but if they do not pass they will have to take the class.

Casino developer Penn National Gaming has never before allowed a media member to test the hiring process. McNamara said it was a unique way to test his employees when they weren’t prepared — and they succeeded in every area.

“This gave us a great tool to analyze our process to ensure we are holding ourselves to the high standards we have set for ourselves,” he said. “We have a very clear and unified vision of the management team so far and we are going to convey it to the rest of the staff as we hire them. We honestly want to provide the absolute best customer experience that anybody has ever had in a casino. To do that, we have to hold ourselves to very high standards.”

When ‘no’ means ‘no’ THINKING ABOUT BUYING A NEW CAR??

L

ike everyone, I know a few people who will be affected by the state’s new collective bargaining policy if Senate Bill 5 isn’t repealed. Teachers.

Police officers. Firefighters. Secretaries.

My husband. I am married to a public Brandi employee, although our individual politics are not always coupled.

I have had people ask whether a “no” means “yes” or a “yes” means “no.”

Proponents and opponents of SB5 wanted the “no,” because those in favor of the new bill wanted you to vote “no” against the repeal, while those against SB5 wanted you to vote “no” for the collective bargaining changes.

SB5 naysayers got the “no.”

Therefore, if you vote “no” on Issue 2, that means you want to repeal SB5; if you vote “yes,” it means you want to keep it in place. For example, a police officer most likely will vote “no,” while Mayor Mike Bell will vote “yes.”

Matt McClellan, a spokesman at

the Ohio secretary of state’s office, said no confusion has been reported since early voting began Oct. 4. “‘Yes’ means you approve the law, ‘no’ means you reject the law,” he said.

He said voters should visit www. sos.state.oh.us and BARHITE click on “State Issues Information.” The information in this tab includes the ballot language you will see for Issue 2 when you go to the polls between now and Election Day. The website also explains the two other state issues, which aren’t garnering as much attention.

A “yes” vote for Issue 1 basically means you support increasing the maximum age for an elected or appointed judicial office from 70 to 75. A “yes” vote for Issue 3 means you support preserving the freedom of Ohioans to choose their health care and coverage.

These decisions on top of Issue 2 make for a lot of simple decisions this year. Yes? No? ✯

In the past seven days, 7.9 percent or 36,400 adults older than 18 have listened to Sirius XM. Toledo outranked Detroit (6.2 percent), Washington, D.C. (5.6 percent) and the entire state of Florida (4.5 percent).

As a Sirius XM subscriber, my first reaction was pride; Toledoans must love Howard Stern the way I do ... Baba Booey! But after some additional thoughts, my pride turned to sadness mixed with a touch of embarrassment. Why did I have a change of heart? That 7.9 share is a blatant reminder of how bad radio has become here in Toledo. People are paying at least $13 a month to not listen to the local airwaves. Think about that for a second. Toledoans are choosing to pay to not hear market leaders such as

K100, WIOT-FM, KISS FM, The River the last time Toledo radio made a great impression on you? and Star 105.5.

Question: When did Toledo Toledo has such a rich historyy of radio go from great great radio stations and to sad? Answer: The personalities that this day the FCC deregustatistic should shock lated ownership rules most of you, but it won’t. with the TelecomPaul W.

The review does not even begin to break down the cross responsibilities the DJs have. Many DJs are also PDs or APDs; they have to program music, which means they play songs corporate allows them to. The DJs are more concerned with keeping their jobs than creating better shows with content. Trust me, it is not the DJ’s fault; try to be creative when you have to worry about driving the station van for a remote broadcast — it’s impossible!

Put all of the above information together and you se why Toledoans pay Sirius XM to hear great radio.

And let’s discuss how much money is being paid out of market not to hear Toledo stations. At an average of $13 per month with 36,000 people listening, we’ll divide the people by two (married couples) to show the low end of the spectrum. So $13 times 18,000 is $234,000 per month, that totals more than $2.8 million per year, if my Whitmer educated math is correct. Think about that for a second. Toledoans are paying

$2.8 million (on the low estimate) not to hear local radio. The sadder part is that figure is probably way higher. People with disposable income are choosing to spend their money to hear something designed to be free. This can be fixed and is completely reversible. People probably would like to keep $13 per month and be able to listen to something local again. This 7.9 percent share should serve as a wake-up call to the management at Cumulus and Clear Channel.

This $2.8 million amount should also be noted by local advertisers. The coveted demographic of “People With Disposable Income” has spoken and now Toledo is the No. 1 city paying to hear radio elsewhere. Advertisers should demand better radio stations; they are the only ones who can fix the problem, with their money and where they choose to spend it. ✯

READY U

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

Home fires are the most common disaster in the United States — Is your family prepared?

That’s the question Maumee Fire Prevention Chief Brandon Loboschefski will pose at the next Ready U session, focusing on fire safety and prevention.

The free, hour-long presentation, set for 7 p.m. Oct. 12 at the Maumee Fire Station No. 1, 220 Illinois Ave., is being offered in conjunction with Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 9-15.

Loboschefski, an 18-year veteran firefighter, will discuss three main topics: understanding fire hazards; installing, inspecting and protecting smoke detectors; and the importance of having and practicing an escape plan.

Ready U, a yearlong series presented by the Red Cross of Greater Toledo and the Lucas County Emergency Management Agency, is designed to educate the public and prepare individuals and families for potential emergencies in Northwest Ohio.

Ready U kits and smoke detectors will be given away to the first 50 attendees, said Red Cross Communications Specialist Jason Copsey.

Every year, nearly 3,000 Americans die in home fires, including 153 in Ohio last year, according to the state fire marshal’s website. As of Sept. 29, there have been 93 fire deaths in Ohio in 2011.

More than 75 percent of Ohio’s fire fatalities occur in homes without working smoke alarms; having working alarms cuts your risk of dying in a fire by more than half, Loboschefski said.

“What we find is a lot more people have smoke detectors now; however, what we’re finding is more detectors being disabled due to improper placement, improper use and improper maintenance, such as the batteries

not being kept up,” Loboschefski said. “We want to make sure people are understanding the importance of smoke detectors and if they need any help getting one or maintaining one, to contact their local fire department.”

Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in Ohio, while smoking materials, like matches, cigarettes and lighters, are the leading cause of fatal home fires in Ohio, Loboschefski said.

“If you don’t have a smoke detector, you’re flirting with death,” Loboschefski said. “It’s an extreme risk because fire is fast and it’s black. That’s what people don’t realize, how fast it is, and how black and dark it can become in your home.”

Also as part of Fire Prevention Week, Safe Kids Greater Toledo and area fire departments partner annually to distribute fire escape plans to

Lucas County students, who are asked to practice the plans with their family for homework. Schools and classes with the highest participation rates earn awards.

Loboschefski will also touch on arson prevention and carbon monoxide safety during the Ready U session.

“Unfortunately with the arson fires that occur, it affects neighbors,” Loboschefski said. “Even if it’s a vacant home,

a fire in a vacant home can spread to an occupied home very quickly, so that’s a scary thing. That’s where we just encourage people to be vigilant in their neighborhoods, knowing what properties are vacant and if they see suspicious activity to report it.”

The rules of senior tennis

ince I just celebrated (kind of) my 80th birthday and can still play tennis at least three times a week, I feel a sense of urgency to record the following rules before a weakening body and mind destroy my ability to perform this service for my fellow seniors.

I must preface these rules by disclosing a gender limitation. I have not played mixed doubles for many years because my wife discovered that discussions with her female friends (particularly over a long lunch) were much more benefi cial to our marriage than our relationship on the tennis court.

Therefore, I admit that these rules do not apply to senior ladies tennis, which appears to be regulated by an entirely different set of rules (if any).

Rule 1: All participants in a senior tennis match should actually be on the

court and ready to play no later than cannot be read.

for a maximum of 10 minutes, after which a hand vote must be taken.

If the hand vote results in a tie, the opinion of the person who supplied the balls for the match will prevail.

Once the decision has been rendered, there shall be no under-breath comment on the call during the remainder of the match.

Rule 7: No lobbing is allowed, due to the danger of a player falling and breaking a hip while running backwards.

Rule 8: Players are required to focus on their own match at least 50 percent of the time. The one exception is that, if a match on either adjoining court involves particularly good-looking young ladies, the required focus time may be reduced to 25 percent.

Rule 9: Players will be limited to one bathroom break per set. Exceptions will be made only for players 80 years of age and older or those with certifi ed letters from their urologists.

Players are encouraged to coordinate their bathroom breaks in order to minimize down time.

Rule 10: Game score disputes will be limited to 10 minutes and, if not then settled, will be immediately ruled on by the youngest member of the playing group, unless he is (or, in his prior life, was) an attorney. An attorney will be given an extra five minutes to rule so that he can properly qualify his opinion.

It is my hope that publishing these rules will help speed up the average court time; this will allow more time for the mandatory after-match visit to a restaurant which, after all, is the real motivation for seniors putting themselves through the physical and mental trauma of playing tennis. ✯

PAUL COOPER SPECIALIZES IN MOVING VINTAGE AIRCRAFT TO MUSEUMS AND COLLECTORS.

Aircraft salvage expert takes wing

By Zach Davis TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER zdavis@toledofreepress.com

If an airplane is abandoned or is just sitting in a field, there’s a good chance Paul Cooper knows where it is.

Cooper, an aviation fanatic from Toledo, spends much of his free time looking for old planes he can help move to museums or to members of the public.

“I started to research 15 years ago for aircrafts,” Cooper said. “You always hear [stories] of some guy who happens to walk through the woods and finds a B-17 sitting there. I was like ‘I can do that.’”

Those searches led to Illinois, where he will be taking apart an A-26 Douglas Invader and reassembled it at its new home at the Indiana Military Museum in Vincennes, Ind. Cooper began work deconstructing the plane Sept. 26. The A-26 Invader was widely used in World War II as well as the Korean and Vietnam wars.

“It’s always been a fantasy of mine to [work on] old military aircraft, primarily World War II,” Cooper said.

The first plane Cooper located had to stay put.

After finding a U.S. Navy-owned plane in Florida, he quickly found out that branches of the military have very different policies when it comes to the salvage of abandoned aircraft.

“Representatives of the Navy gave me two options,” Cooper said. “I could go ahead and leave it where it was at or to salvage it, but they would confiscate it and file charges against me for theft of property. I let it sit where it was at.”

According to Cooper, the Navy retains property of all aircraft from different regions, but other branches like the U.S. Army and Air Force don’t hold interest on planes used before 1961. In those cases, Cooper can just speak directly to the owners of the property where the plane sits.

In 2008, Cooper moved his first plane, a Lockheed T-33, from Illinois to the Indiana Military Museum in just a few days. Cooper found the plane when he went to work in an Illinois airfield.

While he was there, he saw a plane sitting in the field with weeds growing around it.

The plane originally belonged to Vincennes University’s aviation program. Later, the university auctioned off and donated some of their aircraft.

The Lockheed T-33 was donated to the Indiana Military Museum, but they weren’t able to find a way to get it moved onsite.

“They couldn’t find anyone that was willing to work with them to move it,” Cooper said. “In a matter of two days I had it apart, over to the museum and put it together.”

Cooper’s A-26 Invader project was a bigger challenge.

The job required the help of two others due to the size of the plane and its twin engines.

The plane’s fate, however, could have been much different if not for Cooper.

He was alerted to its existence by an email and followed up with the owner to find out his intentions for the plane. “[The owner] said he was probably going to just take parts off of it and scrap it,” Cooper said. “I said ‘You really don’t want to do that’ with me knowing what the value of these airplanes is.

“I asked him if he were to sell it what he would want for it. He told me and I contacted the museum to see if they were interested. The next thing I know they were the owners and they wanted me to take it apart and move it.”

Scrapping the plane could have been a waste. Approximately 40 A-26 Invaders exist worldwide. 2,400 were built after they were accepted into military inventory in 1944.

After he separated the plane into pieces, the museum picked them up from Rockford, Ill. and brought them home on a few large trucks to Indiana, where Cooper reassembled it.

Cooper started Coopers Aviation in 2008 after leaving a factory job. He provides general aviation repair and maintenance to local and nonlocal airports. ✯

hink pink. The Retirement Guys and staff recently had the opportunity to participate in The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Downtown Toledo. I (Mark) had known that there was a lot of support for this cause and had became more aware of how widespread the effort has become. I am a big sports fan, and because of this my awareness increased. The color pink is everywhere in major league sports. Pink shoes, pink hats, pink sweatbands, pink batting gloves and even pink bats? Wow! Who would have thought we would ever see a macho major league ballplayer use a pink bat? During the race, there was a sea of people as far as the eye could see with folks wearing Mark all forms of pink. I pray that a cure is Nolan found soon.

Speaking of great causes, I had to leave the Race for the Cure to attend another charitable event the same day spearheaded by my son Ryan, who is a junior at Kent State University. The cops standing in the middle of Downtown Toledo informed me that I would never be able to get out of town because all the roads were blocked off for the race. I was afraid I would not make it in time, but I got lucky and found a way out. Ryan’s fraternity participates in many charitable events and he had the pleasure of organizing an event to raise money for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). The first Portage County Cup was modeled after horse racing with all proceeds going to the charity. The interesting thing was, instead of horse racing it was tricycle racing.

The guys and gals even dressed up in attire they would normally wear to the Kentucky Derby. It was a great time and I was proud of my son and all his fraternity brothers for their great effort and creativity in putting on the event.

the weekend, I was inspired further at church on Sunday listening to Pastor Andy Weigand. Andy shared what the Book of Romans was about. It was time for the Apostle Paul to further his ministry to new areas, specifically Spain, and he was to pass through Rome on his way and wanted to let his friends know about his plans and his itinerary. The theme of this letter was spreading the word about the cause of Jesus Christ. Andy pointed out the success of a cause requires inspiration and action. Paul and his followers were inspired to spread the gospel. Folks affected by cancer and even many that have not been directly affected have been inspired to find a cure.

CLAIR Lou Gehrig and others affected by BAKER ALS have inspired many to support finding a cure for this dreaded disease. They have been inspired to action as evidenced by the number of people showing up to make a difference. Speaking of inspiration, at the end of Romans there is a list mentioning people that Paul wanted to send his greetings to.

At first glance, this seems to be a boring part of the chapter. Why list all these names? Pastor Andy said this was one of the most inspiring parts of the chapter for him. Because these were all people who had taken up the cause. They all had a story to tell. They were all taking action in what they believed to be the most important cause on earth. They were working together to change the world. According to what I read on Wikipedia, the late Steve Jobs once was trying to convince a man to leave PepsiCo. and join Apple as the CEO. He said to him, “Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come with me and change the world?”

ere is advice that you have been taught by parents and teachers since you were little: Think before you speak. This phrase has a meaning in the law that you should keep in mind if you are hurt as a result of the negligence of another.

Initially, it is important to understand a rule of evidence that relates to statements made outside of court. Often, if a statement is made out of court it cannot later be used in court. These out of court statements are called hearsay. There are, however, many exceptions to the hearsay rule. One exception is that an admission made by a party to the case is not hearsay and is admissible as evidence.

Two common examples make my legal point clear: Example 1: You are at the store buying some food. You are pushing your cart along and looking on the shelves for food when you slip on something, fall down and injure yourself.

After your fall you will no doubt be approached by employees of the store who will check to see if you are OK. What you may not be aware of is that the employee is also very likely building a record in the event that you take legal action against the store for your injuries. The answer to a seemingly innocent question could derail a personal injury claim that you may have and leave you with no remedy for your injuries.

Take this question for example.

“When did you see the oil you slipped on?” (remember, you just fell down and injured yourself and you may be in pain and disoriented). You confusedly reply that you think it was just before you slipped in it. Later you remember that you didn’t see the oil until you were on the ground.

When people band together they can make a huge difference. Paul’s friends in Rome were working together making a difference.

The mass of people wearing pink in Downtown Toledo at the Race for the Cure were working together to make a difference. The young people at Kent State University riding tricycles were spending their time and effort to make a difference.

■ SKELDON CONTINUED FROM A21 Your statement may have derailed your case. In Ohio, the open and obvious doctrine is often invoked as a defense to personal injury claims. This doctrine simplified means that if you saw a peril or should have seen a peril, you cannot hold another party liable for injuries sustained due to the peril.

This situation could have been avoided by simply telling the store workers that you are injured and you need treatment and will talk to them later about how it happened.

Example 2: The second example is a car crash. If you have ever been involved in a car crash you know that once the crash is reported to your insurance company or the other party’s insurance company, the insurance company will quickly want to get a statement from you.

This statement will again serve two purposes. One purpose is to alert the insurance company to the facts of the case that led to the claim. The other purpose is to build a record to see if there is a basis on which your potential injury claim can be denied.

You may be asked after the accident, “Have you ever had any pain in your neck before?” If you answer yes, you may quickly fi nd yourself besieged with questions about your

prior neck injury that you were not prepared to answer.

Many a personal injury claim has been derailed by a longwinded answer that made damaging statements to a case.

A good rule of thumb is to not speak with anyone about your injury until you talk to an attorney. If you have been injured by someone else’s negligence it is not a good idea to speak with that person or company or their representatives. This is because they have an interest directly adverse to yours. The negligent party does not want to pay you for your injuries if they don’t have to.

Waiting to make a statement until you have an attorney can help you make sure that the facts in the record reflect what really happened so that you can be fairly compensated for your injuries.

D3’S CORNER

NOTE: This is the eighth installment of a weekly series in which staff writer Mike Bauman will follow sixth-year Toledo senior cornerback Desmond Marrow for the 2011 season.

By Mike Bauman TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER mbauman@toledofreepress.com

Since Toledo senior cornerback Desmond Marrow arrived at UT in 2006, outside expectations have never been high for the Rockets’ defense.

That tune changed after last season, when Marrow and his defensive teammates tied for fifth in the nation with 34 takeaways to help UT register its first winning campaign since 2005.

Thanks in part to those efforts and nine starters returning on the Toledo defense this year, the Rockets were picked to win the MAC in 2011.

“It’s like that every year,” Marrow said. “Everyone blames the defense.

It’s always the defense’s fault. I think this year, we kind of took it upon ourselves to try and not be the problem because we know the offense is going to go out there and they’re going to score points. The least points we can hold the [opposing] team to, it makes it easier for the offense and then we come out with more victories.”

Just when the UT defense started to get some praise, the train derailed.

First was the dismissal of starting senior star safety and Toledo native Isaiah Ballard in May. Next was the news in August that starting senior free safety Mark Singer would miss all of 2011 with a shoulder injury. That was followed by a lower leg injury

to starting junior linebacker Danny Molls during the week of the Ohio State game that has sidelined him.

Ballard’s replacement at the star safety position, senior Charles Rancifer, missed the Syracuse game due to injury, while starting senior cornerback Taikwon Paige has battled a hip and groin injury he suffered against the Buckeyes.

Still, the UT defense has persevered.

Despite being down three defensive starters and coming off an emotional game in which a blown call at Syracuse cost them a victory, the Rockets forced four turnovers in a 36-13 win at Temple on Oct. 1, holding MAC-leading rusher Bernard Pierce to 75 yards on 24 carries.

“Even if we don’t have something to prove, I feel like we go into every game [with the mindset that] it’s us against the world,” said junior defensive end and Perrysburg graduate T.J. Fatinikun, who led the team with three tackles for losses and 1.5 sacks against the Owls. “Our team, we’re just a bunch of hungry guys.”

Junior linebacker Robert Bell, who had 10 tackles in eight games as a reserve in 2010, leads the team with 38 tackles this year.

“We’re able to trust whoever comes into the game, whether it’s a second string guy, a third string guy,” Bell said.

“We’re all in practice together. We’re all eating together. We’re all together, therefore when someone comes in, we trust that guy just like the guy that was ahead of him.”

Like Bell, senior linebacker Terrell Anderson never started a game at linebacker in his college career until this season and is fifth on the

squad with 25 tackles.

“It makes you tighter because you have to be able to believe in these other guys, or believe in the guys that are just now getting their shot because some guys have been waiting two, three years to just get their shot,” Bell said of the adversity with injuries. “T.A.’s in his last year and he’s got his shot, so I know his love for the game, his power that he’s going to bring — he wants to be there. It’s not like someone’s out there and they don’t want to be there.

“You have to trust in every individual that they want to be there and they want to be successful,” bell said.

After enduring weeks of injuries, missed opportunities and at least one call that was indisputably wrong, trust through adversity just might be what sets UT head coach Tim Beckman and his team apart as the season wears on.

“Like Coach Beckman said, it’s pretty much like everyone’s against us it seems like, at least for the first part of the season,” Marrow said. “We had a couple bad breaks, whether it’s the [extra point] at Syracuse, or people say there were a couple bad calls against Ohio State. I think we wouldn’t want to have it any other way because usually — since I’ve been here — no one really expects that much out of us.

“We always have bad years, but we come into this year and everyone expects us to win. We knew it was going to be tough, but we love it that way.” ✯

By Mike Bauman TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER mbauman@toledofreepress.com

Being a head coach at hockey’s Double-A level presents unique challenges not often faced by coaches in the pro ranks.

In addition to the injuries that occur at any level, roster call-ups and call-downs create a constant flux that ECHL coaches like Toledo’s Nick Vitucci have to deal with on a daily basis.

After making the ECHL playoffs in its inaugural 2009-10 season, the Walleye missed the postseason last year by just four points to eighthseeded North Division rival Cincinnati — a shortfall Vitucci attributes in large part to several roster changes.

“I think the big part of the issue last year was our roster was a lot more unstable than it was the year before,” Vitucci told Toledo Free Press. “We missed the playoffs by just a few points last year. In year one with the Walleye, we had 150 man-days on [injured reserve]. Last year we had 409, and with some key players. Missing the playoffs by just a couple points, do those key players equate to two or three points in the standings? Absolutely they do.”

One of those players Vitucci cited was defenseman Ryan Stokes, Toledo’s first captain in franchise history.

Stokes, who was a plus-13 in the 32 games he played with the Walleye two years ago, spent 90 days on injured reserve last season.

In addition to injuries, Vitucci also recalled an instance last year when Toledo was on a multigame winning streak heading into a three-game weekend.

Between the team’s morning skate on Friday and the game that night, four of the defensemen who played during the win streak got called up.

“That’s what we have to deal with,” Vitucci said. “Two defensemen going into a weekend set of games, and then obviously you’ve got to scramble. You have to have forwards playing [defense]. You’ve got to try and pick up players just to fill out your roster and try to compete with the best teams in the ECHL at those times, too.

“We have a lot of challenges as coaches at our level. You just try to adapt and make the best decisions you can, and just try and keep your head above water until you get healthy again.”

One of Vitucci’s goals for this season was for the Walleye to get tougher and he has made an effort to find those types of players in the offseason.

“We’ve tried to get a little more sandpaper to us — just a little more grit, a little more overall toughness,” Vitucci said. “I’ve felt over the last, really, five or six years at our level, there seems to be all kinds of skill players but not enough Adam Keefe-type players — guys who are just going to play hard-nosed, going to play tough, really going to play an old-school style of hockey.”

While Toledo will be without right wing Keefe, who is with the Belfast Giants of the Elite Ice Hockey League in Europe this year, Vitucci shored up the toughness factor with defensemen Scott Fletcher and Toledo native Phil Rauch, as well as left wing Kevin Harvey and center Michael Pelech.

In addition to the return of fan favorite in right wing Evan Rankin — the longest-tenured Walleye — Toledo has added depth in the skill areas with left wing Joey Martin and right wings Aaron Lewicki and Harrison Reed.

“We feel like we’ve got all the right pieces in place,” Vitucci said. “Our challenge is obviously keeping the pieces in place with the uncertainty as far as call-ups and injuries and such. I like where we are right now, and the process begins of getting it all on the same page and getting ready for our

season opener in mid-October.”

Vitucci wants to see the Walleye improve on special teams with its power play and penalty kill this year, emphasizing getting better as a team on defense.

“Overall, I think we’ve just still got to improve on team defense,” Vitucci

said. “Just take more pride in that and just commit to that a little more than we had last year.”

Strength of character defines Evan Rankin

By Mike Bauman TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER mbauman@toledofreepress.com

PHOTO BY STEVE DEMPSEY COURTESY TOLEDO WALLEYE

Character is something Toledo right wing Evan Rankin holds in high value.

Now the longest-tenured Walleye, character is why Rankin feels privileged to play in Toledo.

“That city is filled with grease in their veins,” said Rankin, who agreed to terms with the team Aug. 31. “It’s an honor to play in front of people that work their butts off as hard as you like to.”

Rankin knows all about hard work and perseverance. Hailing from the small town of Portage, Mich., Rankin quickly made a name for himself in hockey as a teenager. In the summer of 2003 he played in the USA Select-17 Festival, where he led Team Michigan in scoring. Later that summer, Rankin was a member of the U.S. Under-18 Select Team that captured the gold medal at the Under-18 World Cup, scoring an overtime game-winning goal against Russia.

And though he grew up rooting for his native Michigan, character was why Rankin chose to play collegiately at Notre Dame. After winning just five games during Rankin’s freshman season in 2004-05, the Fighting Irish made it all the way to the Frozen Four national championship game against Boston College by the time he was a senior in 2008.

After playing with the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees of the CHL in 200809, where he had 28 goals and 23 assists in 64 games, Rankin met with Toledo head coach Nick Vitucci.

“He carries himself very well,” Rankin said of Vitucci. “He speaks highly of his program and the way he wants to run things, and he does want to bring in character guys every single year. That’s why you can see a lot of the familiar faces of guys who come back and also see why there’s all these changes each year because he’s constantly trying to bring in the best talent he can.”

Rankin will be among the leaders of that Toledo talent this season. In 128 career games with the Walleye, Rankin has scored 55 goals — nine of which were game-winners — to go along with 57 assists. He also recorded the franchise’s first hat trick, in January 2010 against Johnstown.

At 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds in college, Rankin has trimmed down to 196 pounds and transformed himself from more of a grinder at the collegiate level to a strong two-way player at the pro level.

“He plays very reckless on the ice in a positive way,” Vitucci said of Rankin. “He’ll risk life and limb trying to drive the net, trying to get goals, trying to be hungry in those hard-to-play areas. He’s been a big reason why we’ve had success in the last couple years, and a big reason why he’s been so successful the last couple years is just his reckless energy that he plays with.”

Last year, Rankin led Toledo with 218 shots on goal and had a successful season individually with 23 goals, 32 assists and 53 penalty minutes in 63 games. However, after making the ECHL Playoffs in its inaugural season,

Toledo missed the postseason in 2010-11 by just four points.

After losing a national championship in college and coming close to tasting postseason success with the Walleye, Rankin is excited for Toledo’s

potential this year.

“It’s not always the best team that’s going to win a game; it’s going to be the team that works the hardest,” Rankin said. “And I think Vitucci does a great job at expressing that and

those feelings. The thing is, we have good character, and we also — from what I’ve seen — we have the talent as well. So I think we are leading up to a great team here if we can kind of put the pieces together correctly.” ✯

Team dentist, trainer applaud new mouthguard mandate

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

Gap-toothed grins were once common among hockey players, but increased mouthguard usage has steadily lessened the severity of dental emergencies faced by players, Toledo Walleye medical staffers say.

Starting this season, the ECHL will mandate all players in the league wear mouthguards, said Brad Fredrick, head athletic trainer for the Walleye.

FREDRICK “The owner and league office approved it this summer. Most of the teams in the American League and NHL players wear mouthguards,” said Fredrick, who said it’s been a natural progression toward the mandate as more players each year were already choosing to wear mouthguards.

“A lot of college kids came up and

had to wear them, so they already had them through school and were more likely to wear them than older guys who were never forced to,” Fredrick said.

Fredrick expects the expense of providing mouthguards for each player would be greatly outweighed by the potential cost of dental work.

“Hopefully my biggest expense will be getting custom mouthguards for a couple hundred bucks each versus almost $10,000 in dental work for implants if someone knocks a couple top teeth out,” said Fredrick, who has been with the Walleye since its inaugural 2009-10 season and before that with the Toledo Storm for three years. “When you say it like that, in dollars and cents, it’s an easy decision.”

No Walleye players had teeth knocked out last year, but there were six or seven instances of chipped teeth, Fredrick said.

“It’s a big change for the mouthguards. That will be a big difference for us,” Fredrick said. “The custom ones are worth the money. Players often don’t remember they have them in because they can breathe and talk

like normal. Definitely prevention is the No. 1 key here.”

Dentist Alap Choksey of Corner Dental approves the ECHL’s decision to require mouthguards.

“The guard is the most important part. Prevention is the most important part,” Choksey said. “A lot of these dental injuries don’t even occur if you have the guard in place.

It’s made our job a lot easier and makes everybody happier because no one is injured.”

At least one dentist is on hand during every home CHOKSEY game, said Todd Boak, marketing and communications manager for Corner Dental, the official dental service provider for the Toledo Walleye.

Dentists from the six local Corner Dental offices rotate game duty. They generally sit in the stands and visit the locker room between periods or if they notice an injury, Boak said.

“They’re there for emergencies, just like a doctor would be,” Boak said. “It’s fun going to games, but they’re able to interact with the team and coaches and join their medical staff, basically.”

The most common dental injuries in hockey are chipped teeth and cut lips and gums, Choksey said.

“If they’re not wearing that guard, say when they get a stick to the face, what can happen are lip injuries where the teeth literally perforate the lip,” Choksey said. “Most times, the sports doctors put those back together, but if it affects the gums or it’s a tooth that’s chipped or fractured, that’s when we come in.”

The three most common hockey injuries are groin pulls, shoulder strains and hand injuries from fights or getting hit with sticks; dental injuries are probably fourth, Fredrick said.

Choksey recalls one player who got hit on his front tooth when not wearing a guard and required a root canal the next day.

Another player’s fractured teeth were eventually lost.

The worst dental injury Fredrick

has seen was last season when a player got hit in the face with a puck, requiring surgery to reattach his palate.

Most dental injuries are minor and can be treated during office hours the next day, but equipment in the Walleye locker room allows dentists to care for a player on-site if a major injury requires immediate care, Choksey said.

“It’s infrequent, but if there’s a major injury we have local anesthetic and can get them out of pain on the spot,” Choksey said. “At that moment, coaches are wanting to know if they’re OK to get back on the ice.

Our job is to make sure they’re OK, No. 1, but also to get them OK to get back on the ice.”

During away games, the Walleye generally use the opposing team’s dentist, or make an appointment with Corner Dental for the next day if returning to Toledo, Boak said.

Corner Dental also provides Walleye players with regular cleanings and exams.

“Whatever their dental needs are, we’ll take care of them,” Choksey said. ✯

Whether around the city or on the rink, the Toledo Walleye organization places a high priority on giving back to the community.

Throughout hockey season, Walleye players can be found reading books in classrooms, visiting Toledo Children’s Hospital or stopping by after-school sports programs, while game-night promotions regularly benefit area charities through the team’s Walleye Wishing Well initiative, said Cheri Pastula, manager of community relations for the Walleye.

“The players love to be able to go out in the community and meet the Walleye fans,” Pastula said. “It feels good for them to be able to talk with the kids and give back because they’re appreciative of the support they get so they like to be able to give back as well.”

Pastula recalled a visit to Toledo Children’s Hospital last year where half a dozen players visited a young patient who happened to have her Walleye jersey.

“It was such a thrill for her to have half the team in her hospital room and to talk with them,” Pastula said. “That was one of those moments where you’re like, ‘Wow, this is amazing.’”

One of the most popular charitable initiatives is the annual Teddy Bear Toss, Pastula said. This year’s toss is set for Dec. 2. After the Walleye score their first goal, fans throw teddy bears onto the ice. The bears are collected and donated to Lucas County Children Services, where they are distributed to children served by the agency.

“It literally rains teddy bears at Huntington Center,” Pastula said. “It’s an amazing visual, and yeah it takes about five minutes to clean it all up, but the players and the coaches know it’s a one-time-a-year event and that it’s going to a good cause, so they’ve very good-natured about it.”

Another popular annual charity imitative is Pink in the Rink, which raises money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and features pink ice to

honor breast cancer survivors. This year’s event will last for two games, March 2 and March 4.

“Last year we had a little boy who was able to ride the Zamboni whose mother had just passed away from breast cancer,” Pastula said. “It was very emotional, but to see the joy on his face to be able to do that after having gone through so much was one of those ‘aha’ moments, where it’s fun to be able to create memories like this for people.”

Planned Pink in the Rink events include a mystery puck auction and fan open skate with players, said Mike Keedy, manager of special events for the Walleye. The mystery puck auction will feature autographed pucks, all for the same price; some will be signed by current Walleye players while others might be former NHL stars, Keedy said.

Each year, the Walleye also host several post-game jersey auctions, with winning bidders able to have their photos taken with the player on the ice. This year’s auctions will feature patriotic jerseys Nov. 11 in conjunction with Veterans Day and Military Appreciation Night, “retro” Toledo Hornets jerseys Jan. 28 and auto racing-themed jerseys Feb. 25 in conjunction with NASCAR Night.

In addition, nearly 3,000 children have been able to attend Walleye games during the past two seasons as part of the team’s Power Play Pals outreach program, Pastula said.

“A lot of the organizations we work with will send thank you notes saying ‘This is the first time our kids were able to come to a game like this,’” Pastula said. “One of our important charitable initiatives is to get kids to a game and not have to worry about the cost.”

Pastula said the generosity of local residents and companies is what makes the initiatives successful.

“The Walleye fans are supportive and embrace any cause that we want to help,” Pastula said. “It’s part of our duty and obligation as a community institution to give back and when you have such great fans who support everything and jump on board, it makes it truly pleasurable to give back to the community and to see the results.” ✯

Ballas Buick GMC is expanding and remodeling its facility to create a better experience for customers and to comply with General Motors’ new image for its dealerships.

“We are excited about making it a more premium experience for the customer,” said Marianne Ballas, owner of Ballas Buick GMC. “The expansion is a refinement to improve the customer experience to what they want and deserve.”

Construction has begun on the expansion and remodeling project at Ballas, which is scheduled for completion in late December. Ballas said the dealership plans to hold an open house in early 2012 depending upon its completion.

The first phase of construction will add two new-car bays to the east side of the dealership for new-car delivery.

It will give the front façade a complete facelift to comply with GM’s standards for Buick GMC dealerships in the U.S. ■ BALLAS CONTINUES ON A31

■ BALLAS CONTINUED FROM A30 The second phase will involve enclosing the service lane and adding a quick lube center. Customers will drive inside for all service and not have to deal with poor weather conditions.

Construction is being done by union workers under the management of Rudolph|Libbe Inc. “Choosing to do business with a local company and using union contractors was an important component to our construction plans,” said Todd Hehl, general manager of Ballas Buick-GMC. During construction, it will be business as usual with little change to the customer experience, said Hehl, who has served as general manager for seven of his 23 years at the dealership.

“Construction means that business is good and we are in a growth mode,” Ballas said.

She reported the dealership has experienced 20 consecutive months of increases in sales compared to the previous year.

“People are moving back to American-made premium products and Buick is the fastest growing brand in America,” Ballas said.

Ballas said she is excited about new models and technology being developed by Buick and GMC. The new E-assist hybrid technology works off a six-speed transmission being built at the GM Powertrain plant in Toledo. When the car slows down, it is powered by an ion battery, she said.

“I call it a hybrid of a hybrid that will be available in Regal and LaCrosse models. It increases fuel economy by 25 percent,” Ballas said.

Buick’s new models include the Baby Enclave mini-crossover, Verano luxury compact car and the Regal Grand Sport performance car.

“The car business is an exciting and wonderful business but it comes with a lot of risk,” Ballas said.

The Ballas dealership has been a fixture in the Toledo community since it was established in 1970 by George Ballas. Marianne has worked at the dealership since 1971 and celebrated her 40th anniversary there Aug. 19.

“George was my mentor long before we were married. I learned everything about life, details in business and philanthropy from George,” she said.

She has served as owner of the dealership since George passed away in 2002, although her transition to owner wasn’t automatic. She attended GM’s dealer candidate school before he died.

Following his death, she operated the business for 18 months and earned GM’s approval to own it. She obtained financing to buy the dealer franchise and the property it occupies from his estate. Her two sons, Tim and Jeff Robinson who grew up in the business, serve as sales managers at the dealership. They have given her five beautiful grandchildren as well, Ballas said.

Ballas will serve as chairperson of the 2012 Auto Show Gala in January which is expected to surpass $1 million in contributions to local charities since it began nine years ago.

“I believe that we have an obligation to give back to the community,” Ballas said.

Her dealership is participating in Autos for Athletics, an initiative by Sylvania area auto dealers to raise funds to build and improve athletic facilities in the Sylvania School District. For every customer who purchases or leases a vehicle or has service performed before Nov. 25, it will make a contribution to the Sylvania Athletic Foundation’s “Champions Campaign.” ✯

FAMILY PRACTICE

Carlton goes old school on new disc Pop culture frenemies

A

By Vicki L. Kroll TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER vkroll@toledofreepress.com

Don’t expect to see a wedding announcement for Vanessa Carlton. Her new single is “I Don’t Want to be a Bride.”

She sings, “I don’t need a house on a hill, swing on a tree/ Grandfather clock, porcelain for tea/ A garden with rose and jasmine/ Gonna get drunk on a bottle of wine/ No better way to pass the time/ Forever by your side/ But I don’t want to be a bride.”

“I had to crystallize how I really felt about it — commitment and love,” the singer-songwriter said. “In the end, it’s absolutely how I feel. It reminds me of those old storytelling country songs. I have so much respect for guys like Kris Kristofferson or Johnny Cash, how they paint a picture in one line; they don’t hide behind a lot of abstract stuff — it’s all in the searing details.”

Carlton was all about the details for “Rabbits on the Run,” her fourth disc, which was released in July.

“I wasn’t sure if I was going to make another record.

I said to myself, ‘If you’re going to make one, it better be pure arts and crafts’,” the pianist said during a call from a tour stop in New York. “I look at that as an expression of purity of process. I think as an artist, the more honest you are with whatever story you’re telling or perspective you have, the quality is different.”

The three-time Grammy nominee is best known for the hit, “A Thousand Miles.”

She knew it was special when she started writing: “It was always fun to play; it felt like trickling water. There’s something a bit fresh about it.”

She traveled to England to record her newest work at Real World Studios.

“I worked with Steve Osborne, who produced and engineered the record and has a room there he rents from Peter Gabriel. So I was just lucky that he led me to this magical spot,” Carlton said. “It was like a retreat, beautiful and isolating in all the ways it should be, and the English country-

VANESSA CARLTON side — it literally looked like ‘Lord of the Rings.’ ” The 31-year-old wanted a specific sound and recorded on analog tape.

“I decided that the records I connect to the most, the classical genre or rock, reggae or whatever, they’re all in my parents’ vinyl collection. And there’s also a warm aesthetic that I love,” she said. “[Recording to tape] affects the way that you play and the way that you prepare. You can’t keep hitting space bars; you better play what you mean, say what you mean.”

The classically trained musician focused on writing.

“I wanted the lyrics to be everything I hoped for them to be so I could look back on this record in 30 years, 40 years, as a much older woman, and be like, yeah, she was really on to something,” she said. “It definitely feels different.”

Carlton is touring to support “Rabbits on the Run” and will appear with Matt Nathanson on Oct. 12 at Clutch Cargo’s, 65 E. Huron St., Pontiac, Mich. Doors open at 6 p.m. for the all ages show. Tickets are $20 in advance and $23 the night of the concert. ✯

FILM REVIEW

Clooney’s political thriller set in Ohio

By James A. Molnar THE GOLD KNIGHT jmolnar@toledofreepress.com

Ohio is at the heart of George Clooney’s latest film, “The Ides of March.”

The political thriller surrounds the Ohio presidential democratic primary. Gov. Mike Morris, played

by Clooney, is slightly ahead in the polls and if he can win Ohio, odds are he’ll secure the nomination. Running his campaign are the stoic Paul Zara (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and the astute Stephen Myers, an excellent performance by Ryan Gosling.

The first hour of the movie, based on the play by Beau Willimon, is the setup and the last 40 minutes is the payoff. The campaign is working its way closer and closer to the primary and the politics are crucial. Polls have

the two candidates closing in on each other and securing the nomination is in reach. At the plot’s turning point, the audience in the screening gasped.

The score by Alexandre Desplat heats up with pulsating beats and the thriller moves and excites.

What’s missing is complete and utter excitement — a je ne sais quoi that would make “Ides” the best movie of the year. The last political thriller to really do that for this reviewer was last year’s “The Ghost Writer” by Roman Polanski. But what is missing in feeling is made up for with dynamic storytelling and excellent casting.

There is an insider feel to “Ides.”

As director and screenplay co-writer, Clooney aimed for a powerful and serious film, not a lighthearted take on politics. Votes are traded with appointments. Staffers are blackmailed.

Whether the political machine works like the plot suggests, it is intriguing to think it does.

For Hoffman’s character Zara, “loyalty is the only currency that matters” in politics. The evolution of that trait in the movie is something to watch. Myers, Gosling’s character, must learn loyalty from dedication and reality from idealism.

The ending is also spot on — not as mainstream as one might expect.

Twenty minutes more could have easily been added to the movie, which was filmed in Ohio and Michigan, including Cincinnati, Detroit and Ann Arbor.

The audience is left wanting more.

That’s not a bad thing. “The Ides of March” is powerful, but it could have packed a little more punch. /5 Rated R for pervasive language. ✯

By the same token, it is the politically rhetorical open mind, somewhat hard for me to understand but rather one of the honest-togoodness, anythingothers’ aversion to rap is-possible variety.

Of greater concern than whether myself watching soccer, listening to country music or eating spicy my children will be listening to food.

Spicy food seemed acquired feeling of superiority based appealing, but any attempt to try it ever-so-simply on peer influence left the memory of a burning fire in and personal preference. In short, liking certain things makes us feel my mouth for years to come.

I have learned that tastes, how- like we’re somehow more in the right than those who like other certain ever, change if we let them.

There came a day when listening things. Although figuring out what to bands like Nine Inch Nails and you enjoy in life is good, looking Cypress Hill no longer made as down on what others enjoy is not.

YOUR DIABETES

Diabetes is a common chronic illness that currently affects nearly 26 million American adults. When not controlled, it may lead to dangerous complications such as blindness, kidney failure and amputations.

The good news is that diabetes can be managed. An important part of diabetes treatment is taking your medications correctly. This may be difficult since proper treatment often requires two or more medications, multiple times per day. It can quickly become very overwhelming if you need to take medications for other illnesses as well.

Your pharmacist can help you develop a plan to ensure that you are taking all your medications correctly.

The Pharmacy Counter, for example, offers RxMap® as a tool. This punch card organizes all your medications by time of day and day of week into one easy-to-use package. This eliminates the confusion of having multiple prescription bottles and remembering when to take each medication.

Talk with your pharmacist and your doctor if you have questions or concerns with managing diabetes.

If you or someone you know could benefit from RxMap at The Pharmacy Counter, please call 419-720-2170.

The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) recently acquired a painting by the 17th-century portraiture master Frans Hals, ending its decades-long search for an example of Hals’ work.

Hals is considered to be one of the three greatest artists of the Dutch Golden Age, along with Rembrandt and Vermeer.

“Family Portrait in a Landscape,” painted in the 1620s and depicting a father, mother and seven children, was the last group portrait by Hals in private hands.

The painting will be unveiled to the public in TMA’s Great Gallery at

6 p.m. Oct. 13 followed by a free presentation in the Peristyle Theater by Pieter Biesboer, emeritus curator of paintings at the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, Netherlands, and an expert on Hals.

“This painting is a tremendous addition to our collection of European paintings,” said TMA Director Brian Kennedy in a news release. “It is one of only four known family portraits

by Hals to have survived and is the earliest of the four.

“Its strong composition and the way Hals captures the personalities and personal interactions of the family members will delight our visitors.”

BETTER FOR YOU Because grass is what cattle are meant to eat, beef from grassfed, grass-finished cattle is better than beef from grain-fed cattle in a number of ways. It is higher in Vitamin A, Vitamin E, CLAs; has a better balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids; has a favorable unsaturated fatty acid ratio; and provides more dietary protein. It’s better for you, plain and simple.

BETTER FOR THE ANIMALS Tallgrass Beef cattle aren’t kept in pens or feedlots—they spend their life in a pasture, in a stress-free environment, grazing in the kind of common groups they prefer. They aren’t given hormones to enhance their growth and they have no need of antibiotics to help them digest grain, which isn’t their natural food. They live as nature intended.

BETTER FOR THE PLANET Tallgrass cattle are raised naturally, perpetuating an ageold cycle of nature. They eat grass and naturally fertilize the land to grow more grass, never adding extra carbon to the atmosphere. In fact, growing prairie grass has been shown to be one of the most effective ways of reducing our carbon footprint.

For delicious recipes, visit www.tallgrassbeef.com/html

BETTER FOR DINNER Tallgrass cattle are derived from special genetic stock whose origins are verified and fully traceable. Tallgrass uses ultrasound technology to safely and humanely find the animals with just the right amount of marbling and muscle. Through this unique combination of heritage genetic bloodlines and ultra-modern technology, Tallgrass produces the most tender, best-tasting grass-fed beef available.recipes.

Harry Sandler, a pioneer in iPhone photography, will host one class to teach Toledoans about “iPhoneography� on Oct. 8 from 11-2 p.m.

Admission to the class is $40. It will take place at 20 N. Gallery in Toledo. All proceeds will be donated to 1Matters, a volunteer organization which works to change the perception of the homeless, or unhoused, to reflect reality.

The class will be designed for the entry level iPhone artist and is specifically designed for those with an iPhone, iPad or a love of photography. “The iPhone is eerily reminiscent of that first Polaroid,� Sandler said. “A virtual camera and darkroom in your pocket. Only now with the advent of iPhone 4 applications, one can alter the image to suit that internal vision. It also allows me to push the rules and add my own touch to each and every image right there on the spot. Additionally, I enjoy the ability to post the images instantly on various platforms on the World Wide Web while traveling the world, a visual diary of sorts.�

Sandler had a 45-year career in rock ’n’ roll touring with artists including Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, Billy Joel, Barbra Streisand, Van Halen, Jewel, Eagles, Steely Dan, John Mellencamp and many others.

YOUR TAROTGRAM AND HOROSCOPE

OCT. 9-15, 2011

Events: Venus enters Scorpio (9th), Full Moon in Aries (11th), Mercury enters Scorpio (13th) Aries (March 21-April 19)

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Seasonal shifts. Some people are dubious to deal with— get too close and fingers will be burned. By Thursday you’ll have a realistic view of your support base and necessary course corrections. Recover your zest by choosing uncomplicated physical activities Saturday.

Excess static. The full moon brings a mix of joys and anxieties. A close friend has good news Monday, and distant connections share benefits midweek. Thursday may be exhausting and Friday positive but stressful. Reestablish your inner peace over the weekend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Moving on. People at a distance can help or hurt you.

Between Wednesday and Friday, you’ll discover if offers will be accepted or not. Remain open to all possibilities, as another chapter will unfold next month. Get out and about Saturday to refresh your mood.

Forest of feet. This week’s encounters with people take you on a wild ride, swinging from genius to idiocy and back again. Significant endings, beginnings, and peak situations after Wednesday can squeeze you dry. Seek fun, uncomplicated activities over the weekend.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Compatible goals. Moods and attitudes can infest groups like a virus. People mimic extreme or idealistic viewpoints.

Sharp realism is necessary Thursday. Tumultuous relationships issues (possibly not yours) arise Friday. Visit good friends Saturday.

On pins and needles. Exclusivity and privacy are important this week in dealings with others, while your personal efforts or activities lead directly into the spotlight. Many people vie for your attention. A quick weekend adventure is just the thing to revitalize your soul.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Merrymakers. Your connections with others can flourish this week, and family members share good news about successful efforts. After Thursday, contrary desires and expectations pull you in opposite directions. Seek a middle ground over the weekend.

Inside comfort zones. Feisty up-and-comers are making waves. Should you form alliances or wait? Initiate a discussion, but choose your words carefully. Your partner may be in the midst of important changes this week, too.

Review things together Saturday.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Battle for supremacy. Visible external events pose a contrast to secret discussions and plans percolating behind the scenes. After Wednesday, official paperwork or notices demand realistic priorities/ambitions. A film or friendly discussion will provide inspiration Saturday.

The guardian. Turf, property and rights of control are an issue this week, although this may involve abstract or intangible topics. Prickly egos don’t want to share, but there are always alternate portals. A domestic situation demands a swift change of focus Friday.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Preserve the harvest. Make a progress check on a developing situation. Although you may have some dazzling offers dangled midweek, you’ll need to operate on ground level Thursday and Friday. Adjust your pace or methods to achieve your most critical goals.

The defender. Keep phones charged as there will be a flood of calls and messages this week. Unexpected assistance arrives midweek, but a roadblock emerges Thursday.

Perform some fancy footwork Friday — you can minimize or overcome looming obstacles.
