DON LEE

For Issues 8, 9

oledo and Lucas County voters who head to the polls Nov. 4 face choices on numerous levies, including three for local social service agencies.

Last week, I expressed support for Issue 7, a seven-year, 1.75-mill property tax levy that would help Lucas County Children Services care for local children at risk of abuse or neglect. Two other local agencies that serve vulnerable populations are also deserving of our support on this ballot.

The Mental Health & Recovery Services Board of Lucas County (MHRSB) is asking voters to approve Issue 8, a 10-year, 0.5-mill renewal levy expected to generate $3.4 million per year, or about 14 percent of the board’s annual discretionary funds, Executive Director Scott Sylak recently told Toledo Free Press.

The MHRSB helps fund 21 area organizations that provide mental health treatment and drug and alcohol recovery services. Together those agencies provide direct services to about 26,000 Lucas County residents each year.

Issue 8 is not a new tax and would continue to cost the owner of a $100,000 home about Thomas F. Pounds $15 annually. The failure of the levy, coupled with an expected $2.6 million drop in state and federal funding — about 11 percent of MHRSB’s budget — would amount to a 25 percent reduction in funds at a time when MHRSB continues to see an increase in the number of people seeking treatment, Sylak told TFP. “It would be devastating,” he said.

By covering more types of treatments, Medicaid expansion has helped relieve some financial strain on MHRSB, Sylak said. However, the program doesn’t cover vital transition services such as housing or vocational programs, and is set to expire next year unless Congress steps in.

“So many other things in our clients’ lives are destabilized,” Sylak said. “The one thing they really need to be able to count on is there’s going to be help here when they need it most.”

Also on the ballot is Issue 9, a five-year levy renewal with a small increase expected to provide $4.3 million annually for services for area senior citizens. The total cost to the owner of a $100,000 home would be about $19 per year. Lucas County’s senior population has increased 11 percent since 2010 and is expected to increase another 11 percent over the next five years, Area Office on Aging (AOOA) of Northwestern Ohio President and CEO Billie Johnson recently told TFP. As many as 40,000 seniors are served by AOA each year, through homedelivered meals, home care, senior center programming, day and respite care for caregivers, transportation to medical appointments, assistance with insurance questions and more.

“With such a modest increase, it just seems like a great investment for our community to do for the older citizens who have given so much to this community,” Johnson said.

We are all being asked to do more with less and being asked to support numerous levies might feel like a hardship. However, the delayed costs and negative consequences of not supporting them would be higher. I urge you to support Issues 7, 8 and 9, all of which fund worthwhile agencies that care for our fellow citizens in times of need. O Thomas F.

The race that never was

Q

uick! Who is running for governor?

That’s what I thought.

But I’m not judging since this is the quietest gubernatorial race in recent history. The race is so nonexistent I saw a Facebook post that summed up the nonexistent race nicely: “I really wish I did not have to Google to find out who is running against [Gov. John] Kasich.”

Most years, I would say that people aren’t paying attention. But this year, I have to agree with the Google comment.

My home phone isn’t ringing with campaign calls. I saw my first two political signs for the race a few days ago. I received only a Brandi couple of campaign mailings. And no gubernatorial debates were hosted for the first time in decades.

I tried to interview the candidates via telephone, but I got no response from Ed FitzGerald’s campaign. Kasich’s people tried to get me a few minutes with the governor … it just never worked out.

In the end, I don’t blame the incumbent. When you Thomas F. Pounds, President/Publisher tpounds@toledofreepress.com

are up 22 points in the polls, why risk saying too much?

Heck, Kasich didn’t even wear a tie to an endorsement interview with Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer and the Northeast Ohio Media Group. His body language indicated victory.

Lucas County Democratic Party Chairman Steven Steel said it comes down to money — and FitzGerald doesn’t have any. It’s too bad, he said, because FitzGerald is “right on the issues for Toledo.”

The Cuyahoga County executive has been campaigning on raising the minimum wage, including the wage of tipped earners. He also BARHITE has been pushing protecting workers’ rights, while citing Kasich’s Senate Bill 5 on collective bargaining, which was rejected by Ohioans.

But alas, Steel received only 600 signs to distribute for the whole region, which is probably why I am not seeing a sea of signage. That’s not nearly enough, he said, but signs cost money — money the FitzGerald campaign does not have. n Barhite CONTINUES ON 4 Sarah Ottney, Editor in Chief sottney@toledofreepress.com

November 2, 2014

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com n BARHITE CONTINUED FROM 3 Meanwhile, I have seen a few Kasich commercials; however, I certainly haven’t been bombarded with gubernatorial messages like I have in the past.

On-air ads, the governor has been lauded for tougher penalties for human trafficking. He is given credit for transforming Ohio from its dismal condition four years ago, erasing an $8 billion budget shortfall without raising taxes and helping Ohio create nearly 250,000 private sector jobs.

“It’s only halftime, Ohio. The best is yet to come,” he said.

The Columbus Dispatch reported Kasich has 18 times the cash on hand as FitzGerald. Since 2013, Kasich’s campaign has garnered nearly $20 million, compared with $4.6 million for FitzGerald’s.

However, the money issue might be overshadowed by FitzGerald driving without a license for 10 years. That major mishap is pushing Kasich’s campaign right into the winner’s circle.

An editorial cartoon encapsulated the situation perfectly. Kasich, FitzGerald and Green Party candidate Anita Rios of Toledo are sitting at a table.

FitzGerald has a thought bubble above his head that reads, “My driver’s license is newer and in better shape than theirs.” And that’s the campaign, folks.

In some circles, it seems like Democrats have given up on FitzGerald, which in turn has given Kasich more time to run the state because he doesn’t need to campaign.

In an Associated Press story, Ohio Republican Party spokesman Chris Schrimpf said, “It’s been the worst campaign in the last 20 years,” while Ohio Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern blasted FitzGerald when telling The New York Times he wouldn’t trust the company that vetted FitzGerald “to clean out my bird cage.”

Which leads us to Rios, who did return my call for comment. She won’t win and she knows it, but

her motive to run for governor remains the same.

“I do not believe the Democrats or Republicans are governing us in a way that serves my community,” she said. “I don’t feel that the solutions we are getting from the Democrats or Republicans are really solutions. They play politics.”

Rios, the daughter of Mexican-American farm migrants, said she’s taking a long-term perspective. She wants to sees the Green Party become part of a grassroots movement that changes the landscape of the two-party system she believes has failed.

For many years, she cast ballots that were mostly blank because “I simply could not vote for those people,” she said.

Around 2000, she started to look for alternatives.

Rios and her running mate, Bob Fitrakis, support establishing a state-chartered bank, legalizing marijuana and industrial hemp production and lowering the cost of college tuition by putting a limit on administrative spending.

Midterm elections tend to have low voter turnout. However, Rios said people might not vote for a reason.

“I think many people vote with their feet; they don’t walk in the door. They have lost heart,” she said.

Steel said even if this election seems quieter than most, citizens need to educate themselves.

“We can’t have a democracy if people don’t go out and vote,” he said.

It’s time to figure out who is running, what they stand for and how you plan to vote, if you haven’t already. It is no excuse to be ignorant just because we aren’t receiving phone calls, getting fliers in the mail or being subjected to commercials.

Issue 9: Seniors depend on Issue 8: Support mental health, addiction services support for essential services

I

ssue 9 on the upcoming ballot is asking for one of the lowest dollar amounts of all the levies in the county. For less than $20 a year, you can help seniors stay independent.

Did you know that you helped provide 323,000 meals, 105,000 hours of home care, 45,000 transportation trips and 16,000 hours of Alzheimer’s adult day care for Lucas County seniors last year? Not bad for your investment of less than $20 a year (for the owner of a $100,000 home) in the Senior Citizens Services and Programs Levy.

Without your continued support on Nov. 4, these desperately needed services for your Billie JOHNSON aging loved ones and neighbors will be severely reduced.

Evelyn Sullivan is one of the seniors who receives services funded by the levy. “Getting the food I need is my goal. Since I am blind and was told it is not safe for me to cook, if it weren’t for the home-delivered meals I receive, I wouldn’t be able to eat,” she said.

A reduction of services would not only impact the tens of thousands of seniors who directly receive services, but also those sons and daughters who indirectly benefit from the levy services that supplement the care they are able to provide to their aging parents.

If the senior levy were to fail, many family caregivers would be forced to make the difficult decision of either quitting their day job to become a full-time unpaid family caregiver for their parent or putting their parent in a nursing home.

Like most Lucas County families, we have done some budget belttightening of our own already by cutting senior service program budgets by 15-20 percent due to federal, state and local funding changes.

These cuts combined with the growing senior population — up by 11 percent since the senior levy was last passed five years ago — make the need to vote for Issue 9 now more important than ever before.

To keep seniors fine, vote for Issue 9. O

Board-funded opiate/heroin addiction education programs also are available to both children and the community at large through Swanton Area Community Coalition, Sylvania Community Action Team, Harbor, Urban Minority Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Outreach Program and others.

The MHRSBLC is governed by 18 volunteers providing stewardship of tax dollars entrusted to its care. Just 6 cents of each dollar goes to pay staff and other overhead. Accountability is required in each service contract with comprehensive monitoring, tracking of system-wide outcomes and continuous quality improvement.

Last year, 26,000 individuals received direct services supported by MHRSBLC. That number is expected to rise by at least 2 percent this year and in subsequent years, and yet the State of Ohio reduced MHRSBLC funding by $2.6 million this year. If Issue 8 fails to pass, the services presented above and others will likely be reduced or eliminated.

Lucas County citizens can be justifiably proud of the comprehensive system of behavioral health care that their generosity has provided in the past. For healthier and safer Lucas County communities, vote “yes” on Issue 8. O Lynn Olman, a former Ohio state representative, is a member of the Mental Health & Recovery Services Board.

A second piece of exciting news panded our award-winning Toledo came with the awarding of a grant Technology Academy (TTA) to in-

clude seventh- and eighth-grade students. Students at TTA — along with our students at Toledo Early College High School — take collegelevel courses and earn college credit as they fulfill their high school curricular requirements.

This emphasis on making students college and career ready is also reflected in the array of career technology programs the district offers, which allow students to graduate with a diploma and skills for today’s workforce.

Another feather in our cap came when TPS received federal funds to run a large portion of the Head Start program in Lucas County.

Partnering with WSOS Community Action and the Lucas County Family Council, we are providing services to almost 900 children, ages birth to 5, at TPS and carefully selected childcare locations.

Our progress is being recognized locally, regionally and nationally.

Toledo Public Schools was the only urban district in the state of Ohio to receive an A rating on the state

report card for Value Added Education. That means our students are gaining two years of knowledge in one school year. In addition, TPS received top grades for meeting the needs of both gifted and special education students.

As you can see, TPS teachers and staff are busy working to make a difference in our community. But now we need your help. We are asking you to vote “yes” on Issue 1, a new 5.8mill levy that will cost a homeowner with a $60,000 home approximately $10 per month. Of that total amount, 4.3 mills are designated for operations and the remaining 1.5 mills would be designated for permanent improvements.

The levy funds will be used to: O Restore the bus transportation for K-12 students that was eliminated in 2010. Bus transportation will improve student attendance and safety and also benefit parochial and charter school families.

O Support competitive salaries to attract and retain the most qualified teachers, administrators and staff.

TPS is currently the lowest-paying urban district in Ohio and among the lowest in our region.

O Pay for ongoing maintenance and repairs to existing facilities and updating our instructional technology.

The approximately $13.3 million that would be raised would be the first new money for the district since 2001. The levy is for five years and we have identified specific goals against which the community can measure outcomes.

lections are a time when you, as voters, get to say what is important to you.

Hopefully, the safety of Lucas County’s children is important to you and you will make that commitment clear by voting for Issue 7 on Nov. 4.

Issue 7 is a 1.75-mill levy to support Lucas County Children Services (LCCS), the county agency responsible for protecting children from abuse or neglect. Of this levy, 1.4 mills is a renewal; the additional 0.35 mills will cost the owner of a $100,000 home only $12.25 a year — about the cost of a pizza.

Issue 7 really is a vote about kids — it’s about the growing number of children we serve who are on the autism spectrum, or who have developmental disabilities or serious mental health or behavioral issues and need services from Dean Sparks our agency to keep them safe.

It’s also about finding safe homes for children who are victims of the well-documented heroin epidemic in our community, including newborns who were born drug exposed.

Issue 7 is also about providing services to the 100 or so teen victims of human trafficking in Lucas County, deemed the fourth-largest center for human trafficking in the nation. New state legislation — which we support — placed the responsibility for minor victims of human trafficking into the hands of agencies like LCCS. Finally, Issue 7 is about providing services to parents to help them recover from the problems in their lives so they can safely raise their own children. The families we work with overcome substance abuse, domestic violence, mental and physical health problems, unstable housing and other issues.

LCCS has responded to the tight economy by slashing more than $6 million from its budget and leaving 50 positions unfilled. The agency has reduced and, in some cases, eliminated contracts and services. Without the additional funds that Issue 7 provides, the agency will need to cut an additional $1.8 million from its 2015 budget, potentially putting children and families at risk.

At the same time, funding at the federal, state and local levels has declined. The federal government has slashed critical funding for child welfare. The State of Ohio has been ranked last in the nation in its support of child welfare. Even the income from the agency’s tax levies is down as a result of the 20 percent decline in local property values. Due to the way child welfare is funded, the less our agency spends in local dollars the less it receives in federal reimbursements, cutting our budget even further.

Despite these cutbacks, LCCS has continued to excel, maintaining accreditation by the Council on Accreditation, adding programs to help parents more successfully reunify with their children, and finding adoptive families for more children than any other county in Ohio.

More youth emancipating from foster care complete their education and move on to productive lives.

We recognize that Lucas County has only recently begun to turn the corner economically, and social issues continue to plague many residents and neighborhoods. However, our agency’s mandate is to protect children from abuse or neglect. We are not in a position in which we can simply not respond. We are deeply concerned that our resources will soon be stretched so thin that children will be at risk. You have come to expect more, and our county’s children deserve more.

Lucas County Children Services is, and will continue to be, transparent in its service to the community and our 350 employees are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of the county’s most vulnerable citizens. We ask for your vote for Issue 7 on Nov. 4. O

ELECTION 2014

Slate of candidates includes many incumbents, familiar names

By Tom Konecny Toledo Free Press Associate editor tkonecny@toledofreepress.com

From Lucas County Auditor Anita Lopez to longtime Congressional representatives Marcy Kaptur, Bob Latta and Teresa Fedor to Lucas County Commissioner Carol Contrada, area voters will find plenty of familiar names on the Nov. 4 ballot, with a few new challengers thrown into the mix and several races unopposed.

Polls are open on Election Day 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Early voting is available at BTC Properties, 1946 N. 13th St., 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 1, 1-5 p.m.

Nov. 2 and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 3.

County Commissioner

For the lone open Lucas County Commissioner seat, incumbent Democrat Carol Contrada, the board’s president, squares off against Republican challenger Kevin Haddad.

“I am coordinating regional economic development initiatives to bring jobs to Lucas County, ensuring a strong economic future; fighting to restore Lake Erie and protect our local water supply;

and championing criminal justice reforms to keep our neighborhoods safe,” Contrada said. “I am committed to solving these critical issues and will continue to provide strong leadership and get results for the citizens of Lucas County.”

Haddad is a former trustee for Sylvania Township and longtime owner of Kevin CONTRADA Haddad Design Group on Monroe Street.

“I’m running because there’s been no balance on the county courts for 12 years and no one’s overlooking the funding,” he said. “When you have three people who agree on 99 percent of everything, their view on funding is not necessarily in the people’s interests. I’m looking out for the taxpayers’ dollars to see that things are paid for correctly.”

Lucas County Auditor

In the race for Lucas County auditor, incumbent Democrat Anita Lopez faces Republican John Navarre.

Navarre has worked in the Lucas County Auditor’s office for the past 12 years, most of that time as a state-certified licensed appraiser. Navarre also has experience in residential and commercial property departments.

“My main goal is to make sure that everyone’s property is valued fairly and equitably without any bias,” Navarre said. “I want to make sure that no one in Lucas County is paying more than their fair share.”

Lopez has served as auditor since 2006, and ran for Toledo mayor last year. Previously, she served as Lucas County recorder from 2004-06, worked for the City of Toledo under Mayor Jack Ford, and has served on the Toledo Public Schools Board of Education. Lopez LOPEZ did not respond to an interview request.

Ohio House — District 44

In the race for 44th District Ohio

House of Representatives seat, Democrat incumbent Michael Ashford faces Republican challenger John Insco.

Ashford is serving his second term in the Ohio House. Prior to that, he was appointed to Toledo City Council in 2002 and served as president in 2007. He could not be reached for comment.

Insco is a drugstore chain district manager who believes that experience will translate well into government.

“Business people understand government. We deal with the excess regulation, overreach, bloated rules and regulations, and most agree that if the presidential election was run today, [Mitt] Romney would win by a landslide,” Insco said. “As a district manager, I have ran over 30 major chain drugstores with sales over $100 million and overseen a staff of well over 200.

Compare that in the real world to a community organizer.”

Ohio House — District 45

In the Ohio House’s 45th District, Democrat incumbent Teresa Fedor will square off against Republican

challenger James Nowak.

Fedor has represented the 45th and 47th Districts since 2010. She previously served in the House from 2000-02, and in the Ohio Senate from 2002-10. Fedor also served in the Air Force and Ohio National Guard.

Nowak has worked as a Toledo attorney for the past 30 years, and ran unsuccessfully for a Toledo City Council seat last year.

Neither Fedor nor Nowak responded to a request for comment.

Ohio House — District 46

In the Ohio House’s 46th District, Democrat incumbent Michael Sheehy faces Republican Drew Blazsik.

Sheehy is serving an unexpired term in the seat vacated by former state Rep. Matt Szollosi. Sheehy has served in municipal government for nearly two decades, including several terms as president of Oregon City Council and most recently on Oregon Council’s Public Utilities and Environment Committees, as well as being chairman of Oregon Council’s Safety Committee. n CANDIDATES CONTINUES ON 11

“I have legislation which will help reduce the nutrient load that goes into the Maumee River system. I have been very involved, so I’m pretty well versed in what’s going on. I’m also very keen on the fact that our jobs and quality of life are protected in Northwest Ohio.”

Blazsik has worked in business for the past 11 years. He graduated from the University of Toledo and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in economics.

“My vision for Ohio is to utilize my economics background to make Ohio the most competitive state for jobs and the best place for raising a family,” Blazsik said. “I got into politics because I felt like the free market is

Ohio House — District 47

Republican incumbent Barbara Sears is running unopposed for the

Ohio House’s 47th District seat.

Ohio Senate — District 11

Democrat incumbent Edna Brown, the minority whip, is seeking to retain her Ohio Senate District 11 seat against Republican challenger Ernest McCarthy.

Brown was elected to her position in 2010, previously serving in the Ohio House from 2002-10. She also worked for 32 years with the City of Toledo, followed by an eight-year tenure on Toledo City Council (1994-2002).

“My vision for the next General Assembly is to work in a bipartisan manner to address critical issues such as cuts to local governments and schools; adequate treatment and access to mental health treatment, addiction services and substance abuse, particularly the heroin and opioid epidemic,” Brown said.

McCarthy is hoping to win by spreading his message by foot.

“As your senator, I will truly promote economic development and small business growth in the Toledo area,” McCarthy said. “We truly need our

elected officials promoting jobs and the benefits of the Toledo area. When elected, you can be certain I will work to bring jobs to the Toledo area and truly promote small business growth.”

U.S. House — District 5

The 5th District finds Republican Bob Latta, now in his fourth term, facing competition from Democrat Robert Fry and Libertarian Eric Eberly.

Latta, a lifelong resident of Northwest Ohio, served as a Wood County commissioner from 1991-96 before serving in the Ohio Senate from 1997-2001, and the Ohio House from 2001-07.

“I am constantly in the district meeting with my constituents and listening to their concerns on how federal laws and regulations affect them, and I take these views with me when I cast my votes in Washington,” Latta said. “Throughout my tenure in Congress, I have worked to foster an environment where individuals and businesses can succeed.” n CANDIDATES CONTINUES ON 12

“My campaign has been focused on changing mindsets and changing methods in Columbus,” Eberly said.

“The hyperpartisan legislature and state offices have not had the best interest of our local communities in mind, and we have seen mostly continued campaigning from officeholders, and less work toward solid ends that benefit Ohioans long term.”

U.S. House ­— District 9

In District 9, Democrat Marcy Kaptur is serving her 16th term, the senior-most woman in the U.S. House of Representatives. She faces independents Cory Hoffman of Huron and George Skalsky of Cleveland and Republican Richard May of Cleveland.

“I have been privileged to serve the people of Ohio’s 9th District in robust and lean economic times,” Kaptur said.

“Throughout these years I have delivered results and a proven track record of service. The life of our family here in northern Ohio mirrors the struggles of families throughout the region. A desire to serve others, a diverse educational background, experience in urban planning and development, and the experiences I have gained as a senior legislator, provide a strong base from which I seek to continue to serve.”

Hoffman, an attorney who joined the Navy Reserve while a student at Bowling Green State University, is running in his first campaign.

“I’m tired of living in a bad economy and we don’t have to,” Hoffman said.

“Congress has the power to fix it and they don’t either out of ignorance or malevolence.”

Skalsky said he doesn’t think he’s going to win, but hopes his candidacy calls attention to issues.

“I am a write-in candidate in order to focus my attention on calling for a broad ‘pro-big-D democracy in America’ movement,” Skalsky said.

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com May worked for 23 years as a warehouse circulation manager for the Cleveland Edition and Plain Press newspapers, and said he believes that helps him in understanding working-class voters.

Lucas County — Judicial

In Lucas County, Democrat Jay Feldstein and Republican Lisa McGowan are vying for Common Pleas Judge, Domestic Relations Division, and either Democrat Ian English or Republican Mark Davis will be elected Common Pleas Judge, General Trial Division.

A lifelong Toledoan, Feldstein has practiced law for 35 years. He’s also practiced extensively in domestic relations proceedings as well as other areas of law, including criminal defense and civil litigation.

“If elected, it would give me an opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives, while also giving back to the legal profession,” Feldstein said.

McGowan is a magistrate with the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas, Domestic Relations Division, where she has served since 1999.

“Once I started hearing cases as a judicial officer, I knew that I could do so much more for our court and the families we serve,” McGowan said.

English has worked for the Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office since 2001 and has also taught at the University of Toledo as an adjunct professor.

Davis has practiced law and taught classes at the University of Toledo for the past 10 years, in such varied topics as environmental, construction, criminal, contract, fraud and medical malpractice law. Prior to his law career, Davis was involved in business, having worked in Europe and traveled to over 60 countries.

Both English and Davis support the formation of a drug court.

“Having been a judge on the 10th District Court of Appeals for eight years, I was ready to jump into this position when Gov. Kasich appointed me to fill a vacancy in January 2013,” French said.

“Now I have a 10-year record as a judge who defines my role in a limited way and does not legislate from the bench.”

O’Donnell said the most important trait for a judge is independence.

“Public confidence that courts are independent may wane if judges are seen as too closely connected to the powers that be in the political branches,” he said.

Sylvania may lay off firefighters, close station if levy fails

By Danielle Stanton

Toledo Free Press News Editor dstanton@toledofreepress.com

If a 1.5-mill levy fails to pass at the ballot box, the Sylvania Fire Department may have to lay off firefighters

and eventually close a fire station, said Fire Chief Jeffrey Kowalski.

“Next year’s going to be a challenge,” Kowalski said. “I have a deficit next year.

I may have to lay off a few firefighters. ...

I won’t be able to maintain a fire station. ... It’s not a threat; it’s just the reality of it.

We have done so much with so little for so long we’ve become good at it.”

The department has 56 full-time firefighter/paramedics who staff four fire stations 24 hours a day.

The new, continuous 1.5-mill levy would collect an estimated $1.82

million annually and would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $53 a year.

In 2007, the fire department asked for a 2.5-mill levy and promised not to come back for five years, Kowalski said.

“It’s been seven years,” he said.

Kowalski cited a decrease in revenue due to depreciating property values coupled with rising demands on his department as reasons why the department needs the extra money.

The levy, which went into effect in 2008, was expected to bring in $1.8 million a year, but only generated $1.5 million, he said.

With that levy money, the department replaced three fire stations that were falling apart — one 85 years old — and bought three engines and a truck. Kowalski said they have been good stewards of the funds.

“We tightened our belts and did away with purchasing things we needed before going back to the voters,” he said. “Unfortunately, we don’t have another way of funding our department. We have no payroll tax and we don’t transport people so we don’t get any money for that.”

Kowalski said demands on the department have increased. Over the past 10 years, the number of runs has gone up 47 percent and the population has increased 9.6 percent, yet Kowalski’s staff has decreased, he said.

“We’re doing more with less and trying to make it work,” he said.

Response to the levy has been mostly positive, Kowalski said, with some suggesting the department go back to being a volunteer department. n SYLVANIA CONTINUES ON 14

“Response time is key to saving lives,” he said. “Each engine and truck that leaves the station has all the equipment.”

With new levy money, Kowalski said he would put some firefighters on full-time status because runs have gone up 2.7 percent every year since 2007.

Last year, the department had 4,500 incidents with 7,000 responses (the number of vehicles put into service for an incident). Most of the runs — 77 percent — are EMS and the rest fire, he said.

Kowalski also wants to replace aging equipment, including radios and a 20-year-old fire truck.

Kowalski said the department “did its homework” on the financials of building three new fire stations rather than renovating existing buildings. He said it would have cost twice as much to renovate.

Service agencies seek levies

Officials at Lucas County Children Services (LCCS) said the agency will be forced to cut a service that helps

kids stay out of foster care and trim valuable staff if a levy it’s seeking on the Nov. 4 ballot fails.

Dean Sparks, executive director of LCCS, said the agency has already frozen enrollment and would be forced to eliminate the

n AGENCIES CONTINUED FROM 14 The agency is asking voters to renew and extend its current 1.4-mill levy set to expire in 2016, and support an additional 0.35 mills through 2018. The levy is a property tax that will cost the owner of a $100,000 house $54.25 each year.

Residents pay $42 at the current millage.

Sparks said the agency has cut its spending this year from $46.5 million

to $40 million and has had little help from the state and federal government. He said LCCS has seen a “significant reduction” in state and federal dollars, placing the burden for financial support on local institutions.

“The State of Ohio is the 50th in the nation in support of child protection; and that’s something that we in Ohio are going to have to struggle with,” Sparks

said. “We used to have 405, now we have 349 staff people. We can’t cut anymore.

The next cut is staff and services.”

The proposed levy would raise $11.8 million to help LCCS cover its $42.5 million budget. The agency will serve about 12,000 children this year and handle 5,000 new reports of abuse and neglect in Lucas County.

serves are 5 years old and younger.

However, LCCS is also seeing more older kids because it partners with the juvenile court system and helps kids gain independent living outside of foster care.

The “faces” of those served by the agency are changing, Sparks said; as they come with more needs; they have more siblings; more require institutional care; and LCCS keeps more kids until they are 21 to help guide them through high school or college and into the workforce.

Many children served by LCCS have special needs such as autism, developmental issues or behavioral issues. Some have parents who are victims of domestic abuse, have a mental illness or lack stable housing. LCCS has also worked with more than 100 Lucas County children who were trafficked.

“We’re seeing 9-year-olds that are homicidal and suicidal and kids getting suspended from kindergarten,” Sparks said.

Levy funds would also help LCCS handle the area’s heroin issue, Sparks said, a growing problem as more parents become addicted and more children are born addicted.

Sparks said the agency is seeing success in its foster care program with more kids are graduating high school than ever before and more kids entering college from foster care than in the past.

LCCS has a “very dedicated” staff of 200 caseworkers, Sparks said. If the caseworkers are unable to help the children now then they will return in the criminal justice system later. The figures are dim: a third of foster children end up homeless and another third in the criminal justice system.

“The citizens of Lucas County have always been supportive,” Sparks said.

“They have always cared about kids.”

The Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio is asking for a 5-year renewal of the agency’s 0.45-mill levy, which expires at the end of the year, as well as an increase of 0.15 mills.

“It’s a modest increase of 0.15 mills. I say modest because last year we never got the money we were certified [by the auditor] to receive,” said President and CEO Billie Johnson.

“That’s the reason we went out for more money.”

Johnson said her agency received $3.5 million this year from its levy, $1 million less than expected.

The agency needs the money, Johnson said, to meet growing demand from Lucas County’s senior population, which has grown by 11 percent since 2010, for its four main areas of service: nutrition, Alzheimer’s care, home care and senior center services.

“We use the levy to match federal and state dollars,” Johnson said.

“When we don’t get the money, you can’t deliver the services.”

Ninety-two cents of every dollar goes to providing services, Johnson said. “[The levy] is really very important,” she said. “We have pretty close to 50 agencies that get this money and if they don’t get these dollars, they will really have to cut services and maybe eliminate some. It’s not all of their funding, but a good portion. Most of the agencies’ funding were reduced since 2009, close to 15 percent, when at the same time, our population increased.”

Mental Health & Recovery

Mental Health & Recovery Services Board of Lucas County is seeking to renew a 10-year, 0.50-mill levy.

The agency said it anticipates about 26,000 Lucas County residents will receive treatment for mental illness or addiction in fiscal year 2014, a 4 percent increase over the previous year.

Executive Director Scott Sylak, who said the levy is expected to generate $3.4 million annually if passed, said the agency lost $2.6 million in state and federal funds this year. Last fiscal year, the legislature put an additional $50 million in the budget with a portion earmarked for the agency. That money was later retracted, Sylak said.

“We still have a tremendous need for services,” he said. “Not only treatment but support that helps stabilize individuals on their meds and helps them recover from their addiction.”

One in four families are affected by mental illness. A significant number are in jails and have contact with law enforcement, Sylak said.

“Voters have been generous in the past,” he said. “We want to keep that momentum moving forward.”

The levy funds will help the agency address the heroin epidemic; allow it to continue to help people — 3,700 last year — negotiate a significant crisis; provide emergency shelter; help house 600 individuals who would otherwise be in a shelter; and fund training for law enforcement, among other services.

“We fund a network of 21 agencies that employ 1,600 individuals,” Sylak said. “We will lose services. If this levy is not renewed, we will cut $3.4 million out of our budget. That will absolutely affect people.”

The agency, in order to be a good steward of tax dollars, took an internal look at itself and lowered administrative costs in 2007. Ninety-four cents of every dollar collected by the levy goes toward its network of providers.

“We recognize we have a lot of work to do,” Sylak said. “Every service we fund has an outcome and we monitor that twice a year.” O

TPS seeking levy funding for salaries, transportation, technology

By Matt Liasse

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer mliasse@toledofreepress.com

If voters pass the Toledo Public Schools (TPS) levy on the Nov. 4 ballot, the estimated $66.5 million raised over five years would be the first new money for the district since 2001.

The five-year, 5.8-mill levy — 4.3 mills for operations and 1.5 mills for improvements — breaks down to $121.80 a year, or about $10 per month, for the owner of a $60,000 home.

Superintendent Romules Durant, a Waite High School graduate, listed a number of areas the funds will assist, but said he prioritized the safety of students.

Funds raised by the levy would restore bus transportation for students from kindergarten to 12th grade, which was eliminated in 2010. High school students currently have no transportation and some elementary students walk up to two miles to get to school. The need for change was made apparent after the harsh weather conditions last year, Durant said.

“Last winter was an eye-opening experience,” he said. “We want to make sure safety is our priority. …

We heard it from the community and

from parents who made decisions to go elsewhere because of that.”

Maintenance and repairs to the existing TPS facilities and purchasing school computers will also be funded by the levy.

“Our buildings look new; the reality is that iPhones weren’t even invented when we started,” he said. “[Technology] has drastically changed. We need to make sure that these kids, who we consider the digital natives, are having the practice and experience with the most updated technology.”

Durant said that because some testing is now online, the schools need the proper bandwidth to accommodate it.

The levy will also help increase the salaries of TPS teachers, currently among the lowest-paid in the region.

Durant said without quality teachers, programs are not being driven the way they should be. He said that he wants to use levy funds to improve conditions in regards to “recruitment and retention” of staff members.

Durant said he will continue implementation of the district’s Transformation Plan, which aims to “increase community partnerships, broaden educational opportunities for students and establish neighborhood schools” in order to increase state performance

ratings. The plan has already seen success, Durant said.

“If you want collective impact, you have to have collective work,” he said. “When people say Toledo is a compassionate city, I find that to be in true reality.”

If the levy passes, TPS will not be on the ballot again until 2018 when the current tax levies are due to be renewed.

Durant said he will consider cost-cutting even if the levy is passed.

“We’re being judicious with our taxpayers’ dollars so we’re going to make sure that we’re doing our best in regards to spending it appropriately and efficiently,” he said.

Business Excellence: Hanson Inc.

Hanson Inc. started as five people working above a warehouse — the way CEO Steve Hanson still sometimes thinks of the company.

Today, the Maumee company has close to 80 employees creating websites, mobile applications and digital marketing for local and internationally known brands. The company also offers event management services.

What started in 1991 as a film and video production company expanded in the late 1990s to work in new media.

“Companies, small, medium and large, realized that no matter who they are, they needed to have a presence [on the Internet],” Hanson said. “As the Internet matured, people’s bar went up along with their expectation of how good a website needs to look.”

To say the company’s induction into the EBE HOF is an honor would be an understatement, Hanson said.

“To have something as prestigious as this group reaching out and [sharing] a handful of business in Northwest Ohio, Southeast Michigan is truly pretty incredible,” he said.

Hanson said he owes his success to his team.

“I am constantly blown HANSON away by the dedication, the loyalty, the intellect [and] the passion that the people that work here have,” he said. “It’s the collective total of all of them that makes this company extraordinary.”

Hanson said he manages his company on one premise: He surrounds himself with excellence and then gets out of their way.

“We have the belief that every customer, every client, should have their Super Bowl,” Hanson said.

Hanson said he likes to work with clients in the long term.

“Rather than a project, we love the opportunity to work with a client at its most significant level and help them be successful,” he said. “I think that’s probably what we value the most.” O — Matt Liasse n EBE HOF CONTINUES ON 18

President Jeff Ansted said he is honored the company is being recognized for business excellence by the EBE ANSTED HOF. “We appreciate the recognition and could not have realized such success without the contributions of all our employees with their hard work to achieve the growth we have,” he said.

Ansted started the business in Sylvania in 2003.

“We’re rapidly expanding, having quadrupled our customer base since 2011. We credit our success to finding a niche for services that we deliver efficiently and support effectively,” he said.

American Broadband began by serving customers in Ohio and Michigan, but now offers communications services to commercial and residential customers in 15 states, Ansted said. He said the company has added wireless service and its commercial base is growing.

The company now has 85 full-time employees, of which 65 are located at its Downtown Toledo offices. The other employees work out of numerous sales offices across the Mid-

west to serve customers in those areas.

“We are the largest telecommunications company you’ve never heard of,” Ansted said, explaining how the company generates business with very little advertising.

The company provides local and long-distance telephone service, highspeed Internet, DISH Network digital television, dedicated broadband services and information and communications technology services for residential customers. It also handles commercial accounts that include small businesses to large institutions and municipal operations.

“We are able to offer our business and residential customers with telecommunications solutions built to fit their unique needs and at competitive prices,” Ansted stated on the company’s website. “We take pride in delivering those solutions with top-notch customer service to our neighbors throughout the Midwest.” O — Duane Ramsey

n EBE HOF CONTINUED FROM 18 Dari said he hopes to double sales to $20 million by the end of next year when they open four more units in another market and grow to approximately 500 employees.

Also in the works for the near future is a “brand repositioning,” including a name change, prompted by the growth and evolution of Oasis over the last several years, said Dari, adding that this will most likely

happen in early 2015 before Oasis moves into its next market.

Dari said being inducted into the EBE HOF means a lot.

“I feel like we are being recognized in the area for doing the right things,” he said. “We are very community oriented, and we want people to know that we are involved and will continue to be involved. We want to make a difference in this community.” O —Michele Jurek

Excellence in Family Business: Rima Manufacturing

Rima Manufacturing of Hudson, Mich., will be inducted into the EBE HOF in the category of Excellence in Family Business.

“Receiving this award is an important moment for me,” said CEO Ed Engle Jr. “I’m 72 years old and have dedicated my working career to Rima since 1970. This award is an affirmation that what I believed in all those years

It’s time to order your fresh

Bowman & Landes

— a family-owned and communityoriented business — were right and good values worthy of my life’s work.”

Rima is a supplier of precision machined metal components produced primarily for automotive applications such as braking, fuel fluid control, HVAC and transmissions.

The company’s products include brackets, bushings, valves, fittings, tube connectors, couplings, pins, shafts, spools and pistons.

The ranks of Rima’s workforce have grown along with the company, which now employs 105 workers.

“We believe that their work and dedication to Rima is the foundation of our success,” Engle said. “Consequently, we feel a personal responsibility back to them and their families; and we satisfy that responsibility by conducting our business in a prudent, honest, competent and profitable manner.”

Rima was founded in 1955 by Edward Engle Sr. Engle Jr.’s son, Jed

Engle, serves as president and his daughter, Laura Tomasello, is an engineer who oversees the manufacturing operations.

The company was originally located in a wooden building on Munson Highway. A year later, Rima moved operations to a sturdier cinderblock building and in 1960, the machining department was founded.

In 1978, Rima moved to its current location. The company now works out of two facilities with a total of 50,000 square feet of manufacturing space.

In 1980, the family established Rima Canada in Kingsville, Ontario, to better serve its Canadian customers.

“During those 59 years, we have sustained our entrepreneurial spirit by remaining committed to God, strong family values, high professional standards, long-lasting relationships and economic well-being,” Engle said. O — Duane Ramsey

Many people think of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) only when they want to report a company for engaging in less than honorable practices. But on Nov. 5, the BBB of Northwestern Ohio and Southeastern Michigan will host its 13th annual Torch Awards to honor area companies conducting their business in an ethical manner.

The ceremony is scheduled for noon Nov. 5 at the Hilton Garden Inn, 6165 Levis Commons Blvd., in Perrysburg.

Tickets, which include a meal, are $48, or $38 for nonprofit agencies. A table of eight tickets costs $370. Seating begins at 11:30 a.m.

“The Torch Awards are meant to celebrate businesses in our community that are doing a good job of displaying ethics in the marketplace, with their customers, with their vendors, with the community and with their employees,” said Mollie Tyrrell, the organization’s director of special projects.

Awards will be presented to one business in each of five categories: small business (1-9 employees), medium business (10-49 employees), large business (50-149 employees), extra-large business (150-plus employees) and nonprofit.

Tyrrell said the BBB received about 100 nominations for this year’s awards.

Winners receive a trophy created by

Toledo glass artist Mike Wallace.

“You often hear a lot about businesses that are not doing the right thing,” said BBB Foundation Director Marilyn Levine. “We would rather highlight businesses that are doing the right thing.”

The keynote speaker will be Dennis Johnson, a Toledo native and president of Brooks Insurance Agency. A longtime fixture on the Our MissiOn: reMeMber. HOnOr. TeacH.

“Our contention is that there’s no difference between business ethics and ethics,” she said. “There’s just ethics. If you’re an ethical person, that “We are your neighbors, friends and family. Our kids play together.We listen when you are sad, transcends business, family, sports, mad and happy — and when you are hungry, we feed you and your family the food that we whatever you’re doing. We don’t have made with our own two hands.When you are thirsty, we are the first to sit and share a pint our business ethics that we leave on and laugh along with you or just offer company.

“We’re trying to sketch this world of possibilities for how visual literacy can be applied,” Levine said. “We think we’re going to generate some real momentum around this.”

The eight speakers are: O 9 a.m. Nov. 6: Anthropologist David Howes.

O 3 p.m. Nov. 6: Ceramic artist Magdalene Odundo.

to education. What they have to say is crucial as we navigate a world where people have begun to communicate with pictures as frequently as with words.”

TMA is also offering two free exhibitions affiliated with the conference. “Speaking Visual: Learning the Language of Art” opened Oct. 31 and features works culled from the TMA collection. “InSight: Contemporary Sensory Works” opens Nov. 5 and will feature work by Robinson, Odundo and Pinaree Sanpitak.

e didn’t have a Facebook, instead he had a small pocket notebook that contained important contacts and dates from his personal history. He didn’t own a cell-phone. In fact he would rarely make a call but if he happened to answer the phone you could , expect to get an earful. He didn’t have Internet; he gained his knowledge from a set of World Book Encyclopedias. He lived simply but lived a life full of rich experiences.

John Matthew Nowak, 84, went home to the Lord on Monday, Oct. 27, 2014, while holding hands with his loving wife of 63 years, Evelyn June (Iwinski), his Woodward High School sweetheart.

An avid Detroit Tigers fan, John enjoyed fishing and Sunday drives to Metzger Marsh. He loved polka music and Chopin. A retired Libbey-OwensFord millwright (Rossford, 1949-92), John belonged to Glass Workers Local 9. John was the local parish president of the St. Vincent de Paul Society and a member of the Polish National Alliance and St. Adalbert Holy Name Society. He was a long time volunteer at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Bono) church festival and also volunteered to fill Christmas baskets at the Sports Arena for the Salvation Army.

John’s legacy is not only reflected in the lives of his wife and children, everyone he met came away

Nowak with wife Evelyn

Nowak with a story. The hospital staff and the nursing center staff enjoyed his demeanor and his stories. “Where are you from, where did you go to school?” From the transport worker to the surgeon, he would ask these questions. “I’m Polish by descent” he would say. Even when he was very, very ill he could make us laugh or tell us a story about his childhood friends, “Beans” or “the Bug.” John is survived by his wife and their children, Michael (Kendra), Thomas (Linda), Marlene Layton (Larry), Sharon Dumit (Tom), Martin (Tina), Amy Swierczek (Eric), Pamela Burson (Rick), and Jeffrey Nowak, Ph.D., 20 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren and

sister-in-law Emma. Preceding him in death were his parents Frank J. and Agatha (Czupich), four brothers, Frank, Bill (Violet), Joe (Donna), and Mac (Delores), and sister Wanda (Roland) VanFleet and grandson Thomas James Nowak Jr. Family and friends may visit Freck Funeral Chapel, 1155 S. Wynn Road. in Oregon on Oct. 31 from 2-8 p.m. with a rosary beginning at 7 p.m. John’s Mass of Christian Burial will begin at 11 a.m. Nov. 1 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church in Bono.

The family will greet guests one hour prior to the Mass at church. Burial will follow at St. Ignatius Cemetery.

Memorial contributions can be made to Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, Bono, Ohio, or Toledo St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Because hearts don’t politely suggest.

Your heart is your body’s most vital and trusted friend … right up until the moment it turns on you.

But with ProMedica you have the means to attack back. Your ER physician can discuss your case with a certified cardiologist on duty 24/7 at ProMedica Toledo Hospital. If needed, you can be transported to Toledo Hospital for more specialized care. During recovery you’ll have access to dietitians and lifestyle coaches. And we haven’t even touched on ProMedica’s array of prevention services.

Prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation – it’s all connected at ProMedica. Begin your connection today at promedica.org/wellconnected.
