Collins’ revolution

I

was with Mike Bell the night he won the 2009 mayor’s race against Keith Wilkowski and I was with him Nov. 5 when he lost the election to D. Michael Collins.

There have not been many public losses in Bell’s life, and while he put on a brave face, it was an undeservedly sad ending to a valiant career in public service.

I have stood beside Bell for four years, watching him dramatically change the city’s culture. He welcomed the suburbs back to the table. He made tough moves to balance the budget. He courted — and won — international investment in Toledo that made national headlines.

He was never afraid to speak his mind, whether it was negotiating with unions or fighting to protect the city’s so-called “gang map.”

I admire and respect Bell and count our friendship among my most imporThomas F. Pounds tant relationships.

But we lost this fight and we have to look to the immediate and long-term future. It will be crucial for Collins to organize a transition team and staff that can implement his vision without completely undermining the work Bell has done.

I particularly hope he will find a way to balance his Toledo neighborhoods agenda with the progress Bell made with international development.

In his published acceptance speech, Collins began to pay back his union supporters by promising to join the statewide fight against making Ohio a right-to-work state. That may not be his most informed choice, but he made several promises he should follow through on.

O He said he will “fight neighborhood blight and will work with neighborhood organizations and block watch groups.”

O He said he will enforce nuisance abatement regulations, increase beautification efforts and “restore the pride to living in Toledo.”

O He said he will bring police and fire strength “to appropriate levels.”

O He said he will “reduce city bureaucracy and impediments to business development, cut the red tape associated with obtaining permits and make Toledo a true business-friendly environment.”

The Bell revolution was rebuffed by Toledo voters; Collins will take the wheel from here and steer us forward. We owe him support and our best efforts as we all seek to build a better, stronger Toledo.

We must be united not in politics but in the desire to make our home the best place it can be. O Thomas F. Pounds is president and publisher of Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star. Contact him at tpounds@toledofreepress.com.

n MILLER CONTINUED FROM 3 I assumed they were asking for the kids, but it was a beer promotion so it was required the players be 21 years of age or older. They said they were having a tough time finding adults dressed up as “Star Wars” characters, and though my only outward nod to the movies was a hooded jersey that looked like Boba Fett’s armor, it was good enough.

We arranged for the boys to get a quick peek at the locker room, and they were each given a puck used in the game, a frozen prize they treated like bars of solid gold; Evan clutched his like a magic talisman.

Between the second and third periods, when it was time for the musical chairs game, I walked down to the meeting place and sized up the competition: a Stormtrooper in a jersey like mine, a well-outfitted Han Solo and an impressively dressed Jedi. We were walked to the blue circle at center ice, with 7,000 people watching and cheering. My Fett hood was zipped up, but Evan knew it was me and I could see him jumping up and down in his seat. As I navigated the ice, which had not yet been under the Zamboni and was still choppy enough to offer traction for my sneakers, I harbored two thoughts: Don’t fall, and don’t lose in the first round.

The staff threw three large blue beanbag chairs in the circle, and the four of us spread out. “Cantina Band” started and we began hesitantly walking the circle. When the music stopped, I was close enough to a bean bag to make a short run and jump on it knees first, blocking the Stormtrooper.

Solo, the Jedi and I began round two. When the music stopped, I could see the Jedi was close to a bean bag but I had a shot at beating Solo. It was close, but I edged him out. I looked over and saw Evan wildly cheering and thought I might actually have a shot at winning. As we circled around the last bean bag, the Jedi and I warily listened for the music to stop.

When it did, we both lunged. I thought I might win, but then I saw the Jedi make a hand motion to use the Force to pull the bean bag a foot or so in his direction. I landed on the bag just a fraction behind him; had I jumped full-throttle, I might have broken the Jedi’s ribs or unwittingly consummated our relationship. I shook his hand and walked off the ice.

The Walleye won 3-1, and we all set off for home, the kids tired but very happy. After dropping off our friends in Washtenaw County, we headed back south. As we passed through a small town, Evan groggily announced he needed to use a bathroom, so we pulled into a McDonald’s. When we were back at

the car, I strapped him in his booster seat and kissed his forehead as his heavy eyelids began to close. I pulled onto the main drag, noted the 25 mph speed limit and started for home.

Within a block, a police car pulled onto the road behind me and followed me through town. Even though I was obeying the speed limit, having the police car tailing me made me nervous. I watched my speedometer, looked back at the officer in the rearview mirror and repeated the process as I approached the less lighted edge of town. Just as I did, the red-and-blue lights came on. Confused, I pulled over.

The officer approached my window and offered a greeting, which I replied to with utmost neutrality.

“You were driving without your headlights on. Are you distracted?” he asked.

I was distracted by watching him follow me for two miles, but I did not want to say that.

“No, sir,” I said.

“Where have you been?” he asked.

“At the hockey game in Toledo,” I said. “We’re heading home to Tecumseh.”

“That,” he said, sensing a lie and preparing to call Homeland Security, “means you should be coming from the other direction.”

“We had friends to drop off first,” I stammered, like I had been outwitted by Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock Holmes.

“Do any drinking tonight?” he asked.

“Just a $3.25 bottle of water,” I replied.

The officer was silent for a few beats, then said, “Got anything from the game just for my peace of mind?”

I knew I had no obligation to prove my statement, but I’m not Jay Z so I frantically tried to think if I had anything I could show him except a Labatt beer T-shirt, which was rolled up logo-side down on the seat beside me.

It was at that moment that Evan, whom I thought was sleeping, piped up.

“I have a game puck, Daddy,” he said, holding it up.

The officer shined his light on the puck, which for just a moment really did look like a magic talisman, and smiled.

“Put your lights on and have a good night, sir,” he said.

We drove home, Evan drifting back to sleep, his small hands gripping the magic puck. O Michael S. Miller is editor in chief of Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star. Email him at mmiller@toledo freepress.com.

DEVELOPMENT

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Dock David Treece’s brain is whirring with possibilities, but he knows he needs to keep his feet firmly planted on the ground if his dream is ever going to take flight.

The Toledo native, along with his father Dock and brother Ben, is interested in taking over operation of Toledo’s airports from the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority.

Dock is president of Treece Investment Advisory Corp. and his sons are both partners in the family-owned and operated Toledo firm. The Treeces are also Toledo Free Press contributors. They have been researching the feasibility of their idea for the past three years, but started to get more serious this spring.

This summer, they hired a consultant and have incurred “significant personal expenses.” They declined to name their consultant or his company, but described him as a world-renowned expert in aviation operations and airport privatization.

Toledo Express Airport and Toledo Executive Airport are owned by the City of Toledo and have been operated by the Port Authority since 1973. Under its current lease, the Port is set to operate the airports through February 2023.

The Treeces would operate the airports as two new entities: Toledo Airport Operations Company and Toledo Airport Facilities Company. They estimate they are a couple of weeks from submitting an official proposal.

“If we can do what we say we can do, it would be very profitable,” Dock said. “We’re not a charitable organization. If we can’t do what we say we can do, we’re going to lose $650,000 next year. But we think we can do some things differently and we think we can attract some business and we’re willing to risk our money to do it.”

Native sons

Dock, a Tennessee native, has lived in Toledo since the mid-1970s. His sons were both born in Toledo. They graduated from Sylvania Northview High School before attending the University of Miami in Florida, where they graduated with bachelor’s degrees in business administration. Dock David focused on finance while Ben focused on international finance and marketing.

“Ben and I decided, both of us independently, that we were coming back to Toledo after college and since we got back we have been wholeheartedly on Team Toledo,” Dock David said. “We want to see Toledo succeed.

We want to do anything we can to help this region grow and develop.”

Although none have airport management experience, the elder Treece has been a licensed pilot for 30 years and has owned an aircraft leasing company and air ambulance. He currently owns and flies one small private plane he uses for business.

“I’ve been in and around aviation for over 30 years,” Dock said. “I’ve been involved in a lot of different facets of the industry so I am not a neophyte in the aviation industry, although I have never owned or operated an airport.”

Addressing a criticism that he and his sons don’t have the technical expertise to operate an airport, Dock bristles slightly.

“The Port board doesn’t either, from that standpoint,” Dock said.

“I’m a businessman. I’ve been in business all my life. If I don’t know something, if I don’t know how to do something, I know how to hire people who do.”

“It’s like arguing you can’t hire someone to be a hospital administrator because what do they know about open heart surgery?” Dock David added.

TOLEDO EXPRESS AIRPORT

Treeces propose plan to operate Toledo Express Airport

n

Toledo Express Airport is owned by the city of Toledo and is operated by the toledo-lucas county port authority.

Innovation

Some eyebrows have been raised at the age of the Treece brothers — Dock David is 26, Ben is 25 — but their father said he feels their youth is an asset.

“If you look at history, you’ll find that innovation comes from young people,” Dock said. “Innovation doesn’t come from old people. We fought the battles.

We know where all the land mines are.

To do anything exciting in life, you can’t know where the land mines are. If you do, you stay out of the field.”

Dock said he has been critical of Toledo’s airport operations since at least the 1980s.

“When Dock [David] came back from college and we started lamenting

about the problems, he said, ‘Well, why don’t we do something about it?’ and I said, ‘You know what? I’ve fought that battle for years. I don’t think there’s anything that can be done, but if you want to chase it, chase it.’ So I’ve supported him all along the way, both financially and emotionally, and with ideas and wisdom, I think. But it’s his deal. He’s put it together.”

Mayor Mike Bell, who will be out of office in January after losing to challenger D. Michael Collins in the Nov. 5 election, said it would be “irresponsible” not to at least consider their proposal.

“We don’t have what their plan is going to be so we’re just going to have to wait and see what it is. It could be some-

thing great or it may not be something that works. We’ll just have to wait and see,” Bell said Nov. 4. “In trying to be proactive you should look at everything.”

Bell said either way he’s pleased local investors are interested because it shows they care.

“I have an appreciation that businesspeople in the area are at least trying to figure out how to get engaged in helping Toledo and Northwest Ohio,” Bell said. “If we have those types of people starting to buy in and putting their money into plans that means they have confidence we can turn this place around and that’s a good thing for Toledo and Northwest Ohio.” n AIRPORT CONTINUES ON 7

n AIRPORT CONTINUED FROM 6 On Oct. 30, during a live Toledo Free Press/Toledo News Now debate televised on FOX Toledo, Collins said he would be open to the possibility.

“An airport is crucial to be able to develop our area,” Collins said. “New energy may be necessary to kickstart [it].”

Early emails

Dock David first reached out to Port President and CEO Paul Toth regarding the airport on Dec. 10, 2010. Toth said he was and is somewhat skeptical, but that the Port is open to discussion and will support whatever the city decides.

“We’ve seen some good successes at the airport, but frankly we’re in the shadows of Detroit Metro so it’s constantly a struggle,” Toth said. “We are still looking forward to having some more clarity on what the Treeces have in mind and look forward to continuing those discussions.”

‘Circumventing’ Council

On March 28, Dock David reached out to Dean Monske, president and CEO of the Regional Growth Partnership, requesting “urban renewal/redevelopment plans” passed by City Council.

Monske referred him to Deputy Mayor for External Affairs and Economic Development Paul Syring.

The Treeces said a sentence in one of Dock David’s emails to Syring about circumventing City Council was taken out of context.

In an April 1 email to Syring, Dock David wrote: “We’re just trying to explore as many different options as are available for working out a deal on the airport with minimal involvement from city council. For that reason, I thought I may find items of interest in urban renewal/ redevelopment plans already passed by council, which may allow us to circumvent or more easily navigate various parts of the process.”

“There was no intent of cutting City Council out of the agreement,” Dock said. “What we were doing was saying, ‘Listen, if we’re

going to operate the airport, we have to have the ability to bring in people and sell them property to build a facility.’ If down the road we get somebody who wants to put in a facility, we don’t have time to drag everything through City Council to make a decision about whether or not we’re going to sell them a piece of property.

We have to have the ability to execute that in a timely manner. We know of three or four deals that have died out there because that ability did not exist with the operator.”

“I want to cross my T’s and dot my I’s, but I know whatever we put together, when it comes before [City Council], I want it to come before them once. I don’t want to have to come back in front of them every time we want to do anything,” Dock David added.

‘Time kills all deals’

Dock said Toledo Express has a reputation within the aviation community of being slow and difficult to work with. n TREECE CONTINUES ON 8

n AIRPORT CONTINUED FROM 7 “The reputation within the industry about Toledo Express Airport is not one where someone wants to come and start a business,” Dock said.

“As our aviation consultant told us, ‘Time kills all deals.’”

Toth conceded that private business can move faster than public entities, but said the Port Authority recognizes its “responsibility to be probusiness and to move quickly.”

“We still do our due diligence, but we’ve been able to move very quickly as it relates to business opportunities,” Toth said.

Although the Treeces weren’t yet planning to go public when the story broke Oct. 30, Dock David said he has received an overwhelmingly positive response to the news and the attention has helped generate more interest.

Within hours, he said, aviation-specific websites were abuzz.

“There was clearly excitement about people understanding this was a possibility,” he said. “It got a lot of people talking about this issue and starting to think about it, which was a good thing.”

“It only pushed the timeline up about two weeks,” Dock added. “Unfortunately, it became a political issue, which we didn’t want it to be because it’s too important for the region to be a political issue.”

Transition

A lengthy transition period would likely be needed.

Toth estimated the transition process would take six to 10 months.

“We would need to work with the Port Authority to understand what processes and procedures they have in place and that’s to say nothing of sitting down with the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) to make sure we don’t violate any of the conditions of those loans and grants that we have been given so that neither the city nor the Port Authority nor us are asked to repay several million dollars in loans and grants that were given potentially 20 years ago for a capital improvement project,” Dock David said.

“It would not be instantaneous, where City Council passes a resolution and the Port Authority hands us the keys on the way out the door and tells us the alarm code. It’s a little bit more complicated than that.”

Deficits

Toledo’s regional amenities — its access to the Great Lakes and the crossing of Interstates 80, 90 and 75 and its location within 500 miles of 60 percent of the North American population — allowed Toledo Express to flourish during peak economic conditions. But when economic conditions soured, airport activity dried up.

November 10, 2013

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com From the skyrocketing price of jet fuel that has hurt the 50-seat regional jet market to the numerous airline mergers to federal deregulation, the aviation industry has seen many changes during the past 40 years, Toth said.

“It’s a matter of sheer economics,” Toth said. “It’s not a matter of how well you manage or anything else.

It’s just a matter of pure economics of the industry.”

Toth said the Port is projecting a loss of about $300,000 at the airport for 2013, similar to last year.

“We’ve reduced some of our staffing and leased a couple of hangars out that hadn’t been leased, so we’re doing about $375,000 better than our budget,” Toth said.

The airport has been in the red since 2011.

However, since 2001, the airport has generated $14.6 million in net operating revenue, for an average of $1.2 million per year. The most profitable recent year was 2002, when Port records show a net operating revenue of nearly $2.5 million.

“Every hangar we have out there at the airport is full, which wasn’t true four or five years ago,” Toth said. “We feel pretty good about the fact that there’s really no space available out there at the airport.”

The makeup of the Port Authority board has also changed, from several members with pilot’s licenses or aviation backgrounds to mainly bankers, Dock said, but Toth said he doesn’t feel that’s an issue.

“Being a pilot doesn’t necessarily give you aviation experience other than flying an airplane, so I don’t think that is a detriment to our board or our organization,” Toth said. “We reach out, we hire experts and consultants to help us think through things and implement things. I think we’ve done a great job of managing through some difficult times in the aviation industry.”

Dock David said he would be interested in maintaining ties with the Port.

“We don’t want to kick them out of the airport and never welcome them back,” Dock David said. “They’ve done a lot of things exceedingly well and we want to help them do the things they’ve been very good at doing. We actually hope to form a long-term partnership to help bring the Port Authority into finance development of facilities for companies at the airport that we can attract to Northwest Ohio.”

Among the business interests the Treeces said they have heard from or would pursue include current businesses at the airport looking to expand, defense contractors, plane refurbishers, maintenance facilities, refueling stations, pilot training programs and a school that wants to start an aviation program.

The Treeces insist the plan they are developing will not involve any firings — and may even add jobs.

“Our plan is to use the operations to attract business, which will create jobs,” Dock David said.

The Treeces said they would also look for inefficiencies.

“Fuel farms are a great example.

There are a lot out there and it was set up in a segmented, ad hoc way,” Dock David said. “Why have seven fuel farms when you can have a smaller number, more cooperation among the tenants out there, fewer EPA inspections, less insurance?”

One undertapped market is business travelers, Dock said.

“People who are very sensitive to cost, not time, will use Detroit because Detroit will be cheaper but time-consuming,” Dock said. “People who are sensitive to the value of time more than they are to dollars, there is a marketplace for those people in Toledo.”

180th Fighter Wing

The Ohio Air National Guard 180th Fighter Wing should not be

affected by a change in operator, Dock said.

“What would happen to the 180th is not up to us, and it’s not up to the City or the Port Authority either. It’s up to the military,” Dock said. “We would do everything we could politically and practically to keep the 180th, but in 2015 when the next BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) closings come, 180th could well be an issue. n AIRPORT CONTINUES ON 9

n AIRPORT CONTINUED FROM 8 “You have to look at what’s going on in the bigger picture. That’s what no one seems to do. The military is transitioning away from using fighters and toward using drones. We’ve done nothing out here to attract the drone industry and if the fighters go away, what have you got? There is literally nobody looking down the road and saying, ‘Where are things going and why are they going there?’ There are a lot of things we could be doing, I think, to bring new aviation industry to this area that I don’t see anybody doing.”

FAA Pilot Program

The majority of U.S. airports are operated by a public entity like a city, port authority or county, Toth said. A few are operated through a management agreement with a third-party private entity, generally accompanied by a hefty management fee.

“We’ve asked for none of that. We haven’t asked for a management fee and we’ve agreed to indemnify the city and the taxpayers against almost three-quarters of a million dollars in losses,” Dock said.

In 1996, the FAA established its Airport Privatization Pilot Program. The program permits up to 10 public airport sponsors to “sell or lease an airport with certain restrictions, and to exempt the sponsor from certain federal requirements,” according to FAA.gov.

“We’re aware of the FAA privatization program,” Dock David said.

“We’ve tried to structure our proposal to give us the flexibility to try to get into that program, which is a time-

consuming process, if we choose to go that route in the future. However, it’s not our plan at present.”

The only airport currently operating under the program is Luís Muñoz Marín International Airport. The airport is owned by the Puerto Rico Ports Authority and managed by a private company. Airglades Airport in Clewiston, Fla., has had its preliminary program application approved and is currently negotiating a deal with a private operator.

The first airport to operate under the program was Stewart International Airport near Newburgh, N.Y., which participated from March 2000 to October 2007, operated by a United Kingdom-based company. The airport is now operated by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey.

However, Dock said privatization of airport operations is more common than one might think.

“Gary, Ind., is in the process right now, even as we speak,” Dock said.

“They announced last week they are working out a management agreement with a company much like what we’re trying to do in Toledo.”

Questions

Russell Mills, an assistant professor of political science at Bowling Green State University, wrote his master’s degree thesis on airport privatization and previously worked in Washington, D.C., as a policy analyst for the FAA. “There are quite a few things that have been omitted from the discussion, namely the fact that because the airport has received federal grant funds, they are prohibited from using airport rev-

enue for non-airport purposes, such as the distribution of profit without FAA approval,” Mills said.

“All the money that is collected on an airport — landing fees, terminal rent — has to stay at the airport for airport use only. That is key. It’s up to the FAA to determine if they will allow you to use the money off-airport,” Mills said. “That’s why there has not been much full privatization of airports in the U.S.”

Mills’ thesis concluded that all the regulations and restrictions placed on airports as part of the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program make it difficult for private-sector operators to make a profit and for public-sector owners to have influence or control over the operations. Also, if the private sector firm fails or goes bankrupt, the public sector operator may have to reassume control of the airport, potentially incurring a loss.

“There’s a lot of financial risk on this from both ends,” Mills said.

The Treeces have said they are interested in discussing the options that exist for purchasing or selling nearby parcels of land.

“We wanted the option because,

down the road, if we get viable tenants to come in who need to buy pieces of property that are referred to as not critical for aviation, we wanted to be able to buy from the city and turn around and resell that property to a private entity that would want to build a facility and operate it near the airport,” Dock said.

“The best way to get more revenue in an airport is to have more service running through it,” Mills said. “What can the Treeces do to bring more air service to Toledo Express? I’m curious what their plans are for air service development, more so than what they are going to do with the land.” “[Their plan] might be perfectly sound, but these are the questions that need to be asked and answered.” O

POLITICS

By Bailey G. Dick

Toledo Free Press Political Writer bdick@toledofreepress.com

Toledo City Councilman D. Michael Collins ousted incumbent Mayor Mike Bell by a 14-point margin Nov. 5 in a race between the two independent candidates. Collins nabbed 57 percent of the votes, while Bell brought in 43 percent.

Collins made his way though the September primary in what many Toledoans considered a surprise win, and was out-fundraised by Bell nearly four-to-one ahead of this week’s election.

“An independent with no money and given, realistically, no chances of success, today defined that the Davids really can be successful over the Goliaths of the Earth,” Collins said.

Collins said that while running he had no idea whether his campaign would be successful, but noted he was glad his platform resonated with voters.

“I really couldn’t tell. People asked me all through the campaign,” Collins said. “I think that we ran our campaign based upon what we felt the leadership of the city of Toledo should be all about. And apparently the citizens must have agreed with us.”

As he exchanged hugs with supporters who left his election night party at the Teamsters Local 20 hall, Collins said, “I understand that realistically, a candidate is no stronger than the team that surrounds them.”

Mayor-elect Collins has a full schedule between now and his January inauguration, beginning with a

A U C T I O N

City Council meeting Nov. 6. Fellow Council members Rob Ludeman and Paula Hicks-Hudson plan to introduce legislation on restricting “puppy mills” and Collins said he will ask for it to be put into his committee so Council can have a hearing on it.

“I’m feeling very humbled,” Collins said. “And I’m feeling tired, but it’s a peaceful tired.”

Although he didn’t win, Bell said he had “no regrets” about his time in office, or the way he ran his reelection campaign.

“I did what I said I had to do. I came back here and I fixed the city.

I feel bad for my staff and the people who have worked for me, because they have done such a great job. But personally, I don’t feel bad at all. I did exactly what I said I was going to do,” Bell said. “Maybe they didn’t understand what we were doing. Maybe we didn’t market it well enough. But outside of that, we accomplished what we set out to do.”

The current mayor said he is at peace with only having one term in office.

“When I was running last time, I said that if I did things right, I would only end up being a one-term mayor because you make so many people mad trying to fix stuff. I did the best I could,” Bell said.

Bell said he doesn’t plan on making any drastic changes during his remaining time as mayor, and will focus on maintaining a balanced budget.

He said he is looking forward to spending more time on his motorcycle after he leaves office. n ELECTION CONTINUES ON 12

Voters also provided some direction for Toledo Public Schools in the election. A $6.5 million renewal levy was overwhelmingly passed, with 64.8 percent of voters backing its approval. The district will also see two new members on its school board. In-

Armistice Day a legal federal holiday.

In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed into law a bill proclaiming Armistice Day to be a celebration of all veterans. Congress amended the act later that same year to change the holiday’s name and Veterans Day was born.

In 1968, Veterans Day was one of the days included in the Uniform Holiday Bill, which aimed to ensure federal employees had four three-day weekends each year. BePam ginning in 1971, Veterans Day was celebrated on a Monday no matter the calendar date, leaving behind the tradition of it being Nov. 11.

The change to the holiday caused confusion, so in 1975 President Gerald Ford signed a bill to return Veterans Day celebrations to Nov. 11, preserving the historical significance of the date.

Those are the facts of the day we know as Veterans Day in our country.

But here is another fact that we have to consider: The sacrifices of our veterans deserve honor every day!

Honor? How can we honorably serve those who have served?

It isn’t only about parades, free meals at a restaurant or an ad bought in a newspaper to say “thank you.” We can honor our veterans by voting for candidates who support veterans’ issues. We can honor our veterans by supporting nonprofits that understand the challenges facing our veterans and get involved in veterans’ lives by providing the understanding, caring and assistance our veterans need when government and social services leave huge gaps. We can show this honor by giving of our time, talent and money.

I sometimes hear statements that make me realize civilians are still very much in the dark about what it is like to serve in the military and then come home as a veteran, with or without wounds, and build a life. Some of this stems from the belief that our government provides for all the needs of our veterans and there is no need for outside nonprofits to be funded. After all, we have a huge budget in this country for services for our veterans, whether they be for health care, employment, counseling, suicide prevention, housing the homeless or judicial involvement.

The government funds more than 90 programs on veteran suicide alone, and yet nearly every single hour, a veteran takes his or her life! What this and other facts tell me is that services

are not matching needs.

We have a lot of beautiful buildings in our country that are said to be “for veterans,” but buildings don’t bring about change; people do. A building might be beautiful, but if the services it houses make a veteran wait more than 30 days to be seen by a counselor it is a disgrace, not an honor. A veteran living in poverty, relying on family, friends and nonprofits to support their basic needs while the government system takes Hays years to decide if their injuries are real and worth disability pay, even when clearly documented, is not a way to show honor. Relying on checked off boxes in a survey to get to know our veterans instead of building relationships that drive down stigma and open doors of opportunity to heal and move forward is not honorable; it’s just an attempt at an easy fix.

We have a lot of outrage in our country over many issues, but I seldom see civilians outraged over the way our military and our veterans are treated. I see veterans outraged, but they are a small minority, maybe 3 percent of our country’s population. Show honor to our veterans by becoming educated as to the truth about how our veterans are treated — not just the older veterans, but the younger ones as well.

Learn about the day-to-day struggles, their silent pleas for help, their invisible tears and how their needs are not being met. How can you become educated? Plan an event with your organization or your workplace that is civic-minded. It doesn’t have to be for Veterans Day; it can be any day.

I spend a great deal of my time educating civilians and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you and your group about the challenges of our veterans and more ways to show honor to them. I can share with you the good news about all the exciting ways veterans are facing their challenges and are giving, productive members of our community and communities around our country!

It takes a community to lift up a veteran. Let’s work together to ensure the veterans in our community are honorably served not for a day, but every day. O Pam Hays is president and founder of The Arms Forces, www.thearms forces. org: (419) 891-2111 and Facebook. com/thearmsforces.

Wreaths Across America to honor veterans’ resting places

By Paige Shermis

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer pshermis@toledofreepress.com

To commemorate the day, there will be a ceremony at noon Dec. 14 at the cemetery.

Harbaugh said he eventually hopes to expand Wreaths Across America to all area cemeteries. He is the one responsible for partnering with the cemetery and bringing the charity there.

“I’ve gone to Sandusky, to veterans’

homes and hospital cemeteries for the past four years. I just thought it would be nice to do. We [were] not doing it in Toledo, and I thought it would be a good thing to do,” Harbaugh said.

Merritt said people who want to help with Wreaths Across America can volunteer to place wreaths on graves in December, or participate in

fundraising to purchase more wreaths for their local cemetery.

Harbaugh said that the nonprofit is not only reverent to veterans, but important to the public.

“It teaches the younger people to honor our veterans,” he said.

The gesture is simple but poignant: to lay wreaths on the snow-covered graves of veterans.

This is the mission of Wreaths Across America, a nationwide nonprofit that will be responsible for laying donated wreaths on veterans’ graves Dec. 14, this year’s National Wreaths Across America Day. “We have a lot of veterans who have passed on … and they’ve just been totally forgotten. So we’ve made it our mission that they will not be forgotten. Each time the holiday season rolls around, we try to cover as many veterans’ graves as we can, show that they have not been forgotten,” said Wayne Merritt, project officer and veterans outreach service director at Wreaths Across America.

The program was started in 1992 by wreath shop owner Morrill Worcester, who donated wreaths to be placed in the older sections of Arlington National Cemetery.

This will be the first year that

Wreaths Across America will distribute wreaths at Toledo Memorial Park in Sylvania.

Mel Harbaugh, an Air Force veteran who served from 1966-70, is Sylvania’s location leader for Wreaths Across America.

“Our goal is to [place] the 1,400 wreaths donated. They have a special section donated to veterans who couldn’t pay for their own graves. They have approximately 12,600-plus veterans in the cemetery,” Harbaugh said.

A car show in August helped raise money for the wreaths. If extra money is collected, volunteers will begin to place wreaths on other veterans’ graves in the cemetery.

In addition to placing wreaths on graves in Toledo Memorial Park, Harbaugh is offering to honor gravespecific requests for veterans buried within city limits but not at Toledo Memorial Park. If anyone has a gravespecific request, he or she can call Harbaugh at (419) 346-9192.

Harbaugh’s team of volunteers for Wreaths Across America Day will be comprised of Boy Scouts and individuals from other organizations around town, he said.

Turn for Troops program sends handcrafted pens overseas

By Kevin Moore

TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

When soldiers are deployed overseas, they are often away from home for nine months at a time or longer.

One of the things they value most is the ability to write to friends and family back home, especially during the holidays.

Woodcraft, a national retailer of woodworking tools and supplies for professional and hobbyist woodcarvers, identified a need for pens among soldiers stationed abroad during the holiday season. It partnered with the Pentagon in 2004 to create the Turn for Troops program.

Turn for Troops allows volunteers to turn a wooden pen casing on a lathe, which is then assembled to form a quality ballpoint pen. They host the National Turn-a-Thon around Veterans Day so the pens will reach the troops in time for Christmas.

John and Carroll Nystrom opened a Woodcraft franchise in Toledo in December 2006 after moving to Northwest Ohio from Wisconsin.

There, both of the Nystroms worked for Kimberly-Clark, a global corporation that manufactures paper products like Kleenex and Huggies.

John received notice in 2005 that the engineering department in which he worked would be downsized.

“John was too young to retire, so he took an early retirement package which gave us a year to figure out what he would enjoy doing,” Carroll said.

“He’s been a woodworker most of his life and he liked the idea of running a small business, so we decided to open a

Woodcraft franchise because we would at least have some corporate support.

The next step was to find a location.”

With the next closest Woodcraft locations in Columbus, Oakwood Village, Ohio, and Canton, Mich., the Nystroms saw Toledo as an excellent location to open a store. John moved here in 2006, with Carroll also taking an early retirement in advance of future downsizing and following a few months later.

As a company-wide initiative for Woodcraft, Turn for Troops has sent approximately 98,000 pens overseas in the past nine years. In 2012, the company sent 12,000 pens, of which the Nystroms’ Toledo store contributed 212.

“Our goal has historically been between 100 and 200 pens,” Carroll said, “but this year our target is 250.”

When someone comes to Woodcraft to turn a pen, they get to choose one four-inch “blank” made from excess wood donated by the business’ customers.

“The blanks come from all kinds of woods, including exotics,” Carroll said.

“For example, there is a wood called Purple Heart that we used last year to make pens for wounded soldiers.”

The volunteer turns the blank on a lathe into a pen casing, and a staff member then assembles the casing with parts to form a working pen.

Anyone who makes a pen is encouraged to write a soldier a note, either signed or anonymously, which serves to test the pen and let the soldier know the pen was made especially for them.

The process takes about 30-60 minutes to complete and is free.

There are staff and volunteers on

hand to instruct non-woodworkers how to turn their pen.

Rick Toda, a 16-year veteran who joined the Air Force in 1974 before transferring to the Army in 1980, said he has volunteered for the Turn for Troops program as much as possible

in the past five years.

“It means a lot to me to be a part of this,” Toda said. “They didn’t have anything like this when I was in the service. I know it makes the soldiers feel good being recognized and knowing they’re thought of. I’d like to see them

send a lot more pens this year.”

The National Turn-a-Thon will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 9 and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 10. Woodcraft is located at 5311 Airport Hwy. in Toledo. For more information, call (419) 389-0560. O

Veterans Day 17

A Toledo tradition since 2005

By Jay Hathaway

TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

A Toledo area business owner and war veteran was recently honored for his service with a trip to our nation’s capital.

Walt Churchill, owner of two longestablished markets bearing his name in Maumee and Perrysburg, took part in Honor Flight Northwest Ohio’s most recent trip. The organization takes groups of veterans by plane to Washington, D.C. for one-day trips to visit the war memorials and other monuments.

The flight left early on the morning of Oct. 9, during the recent government shutdown. Honor Flight Northwest Ohio presenter David Chilson said the effect of the shutdown on the trip was minimal.

“The only impact was that we weren’t able to have lunch adjacent to the World War II Memorial, as we normally do, under two large tents,” Chilson wrote in an email. “Instead,

we had lunch at a hotel.”

Churchill, accompanied by his grandson, David Tijerina, joined a group of 70 veterans and their companions from the Toledo area. He also said the shutdown was not going to stop them from seeing the sites.

“The veterans didn’t recognize that the memorials were closed, because they’re our memorials and we deserved to be there, and so we were there,” Churchill said.

One of the guards, admitting that he was not really supposed to, gathered and distributed brochures about the monuments out of respect for the visiting veterans, Churchill said.

Churchill, whose father served in the Marines as an executive officer, was raised to understand the importance of showing respect for members of the armed forces.

“You might say I grew up in the Marine Corps,” he said.

Churchill, along with two of his friends, enlisted in the Marines on Jan. 14, 1947. After training, he was

sent to Camp Pendleton in California in September 1950, and was quickly activated for duty in the Korean War. “Forty of us, on the third day we were there, were sent aboard ship to replace 40 Marines that were already aboard, to get ready to land at Inchon [Korea],” Churchill said.

“Of course, we had to get all of our shots first. When we enlisted, we got our shots and vaccinations in Toledo, then we got shots at Pendleton and then we got aboard ship and, just for good measure, they gave us all our shots again.”

Churchill was stationed at the Chosin Reservoir, which he said was one of the “cold” bases in Korea’s fight against the Chinese. Churchill said he was fortunate in his time there, and joked that one of his infantry mates and longtime friend, Paul Robinson, took some of the heat for him.

“He jokingly said to me that the Chinese keep aiming at me, but hitting him,” Churchill said. “He ended up with three Purple Hearts and a

Bronze Star, but they kept missing me, which was OK.” After their duty in Korea, Churchill and Robinson continued to serve until 1977, when they retired together after 30 years.

Unfortunately, due to a veteran and his companion getting lost for about an hour, Churchill’s group was

not able to visit the Korean War Memorial during the trip.

“We had a timetable to be at Arlington [National Cemetery] for the changing of the guard, so we had to give up going to the memorial,” he said.

However, Churchill said the trip to Arlington was worthwhile, and the guard change was an inspiring display of pomp and ceremony.

“That place was impressive, to see all those grave sites in rows,” he said.

Churchill said the Korean War veterans on the trip will be given the option to return for a trip to see the memorial on a future Honor Flight, but he doubts he will take part. Instead, he said he plans to return on his own time.

“I’d like to take some time to visit the memorials, and I’d like to go to the Marine Corps museum at Quantico, Va., as well,” he said.

Churchill said it was a wonderful day, and he especially enjoyed seeing the groups of people that greeted the vets upon landing in Washington, D.C., and when they returned home to Toledo.

“It was the largest collection of enthusiastic Americans that I’ve ever been with,” he said. “The receptions were just amazing. There were a lot of kids that were really interested in showing respect for veterans.”

Honor Flight was founded in 2005 by a retired Air Force captain named Earl Morse to get World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., to see their memorial. There was a “sense of urgency” to get the aging World War II veterans to see the memorial, because it was not completed and dedicated until 2004, Chilson wrote.

Honor Flight Northwest Ohio was founded in late 2007 with the first flight taking place in April 2008.

To date, including the October flight, the local organization has made 32 flights and taken 1,666 veterans to Washington, D.C. — with a perfect safety record, Chilson said. O

THANK YOU TO OUR MEDIA SPONSORS:

erseverance is a word that we are very familiar with. We are approaching our 15-year anniversary of joining forces and eventually becoming The Retirement Guys.

As small-business owners, we’ve experienced lots of ups and downs.

Both Mark and I vowed to each other that we would persevere to make our company work. We created our mission statement to help keep us focused on educating others Mark while giving back to our community.

Nolan A few years ago, we decided to make a conscious effort to start an active community giveback campaign. Since then, we have really started seeing a difference for ourselves, our staff and our family of clients. Adding this program has shed a new light on our organization, which we hope never goes out.

On Nov. 6, we were one of three finalists for a prestigious Better Business Bureau (BBB) of Northwestern Ohio and Southeastern Michigan Torch Award, which recognizes businesses that make substantial contributions in marketplace ethics. We were truly honored to be among these outstanding companies that were nominated and awarded the 2013 BBB Torch Awards. We were especially honored to be there when Toledo Free Press was awarded the 2013 Media Award.

We know we must give thanks to our dedicated staff — David Macino, Barb Everly, Courtney Molnar, Tami Bombick, Andrew Nutter, Janet White and Dana Nehren — who serve our

family of clients and freely participate in our community giveback campaign. Mark and I are so proud of all our employees for upholding such high ethical standards.

The BBB goes to great lengths to honor businesses that demonstrate the highest standard of business ethics and conduct. This year, the BBB celebrated its 12th anniversary of recognizing companies small, medium and large.

CLAIR The award also recognizes nonprofit BAKER organizations. The BBB had more than 100 applicants apply for its coveted Torch Awards.

Our entire staff attended the Torch Awards luncheon and we were humbled to look around at all of the wonderful business owners and employees who strive every day to maintain high ethical standards. We were honored to be chosen as a finalist for this prestigious award.

We look forward to continuing our quest to give back to the community in any way possible. We encourage you to learn more about the BBB, its Torch Awards and its ethics programs by visiting the BBB website at toledo.bbb.org.

EVENTS

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

For the second year, Toledoans can travel a loop near Downtown businesses in an effort to connect with local venues.

The Holiday Loop will take place from noon to 5 p.m. Nov. 16. Two buses will travel between Downtown, the Warehouse District, UpTown and the Old West End. The Arts Commission event is designed to connect holiday shoppers to more than 30 art venues and retailers in the area.

The free shuttle service is provided through a partnership with the University of Toledo and provides a fun, safe way to travel the city, said Arts Commission Programs Coordinator Michelle Carlson.

“The buses help [people] feel more comfortable with navigating Downtown, especially if they’re not familiar [with the area],” she said.

The buses will begin making their rounds immediately following a holiday parade.

There will be two loops to choose from, both stopping at the Toledo School for the Arts (TSA), 333 14th St. Some stops between the two loops are walking distances apart, Carlson said.

Each loop will have two buses. It will take 10-15 minutes for the bus to arrive at a stop, Carlson said.

The Green Loop includes a route stopping at B-Bop Records, The Gallery at the Davis Building, The Paula Brown Shop, the University of Toledo Center for the Visual Arts Gallery, the Toledo Museum of Art’s Store and Collector’s Corner, The Truth Art Gallery and Event Center, Studio Eleven-Eleven, Gallerie 333

at TSA, Glass City Café and Flying Rhino Coffee & Chocolate.

The Red Loop includes a route stopping at Schmidt Messenger Studios, Maker’s Mart, Bozarts Fine Art & Music Gallery, Downtown Latté, The Art Supply DepŌ, Ahava Spa and Wellness Center, Scrap4Art Encore Boutique, the joenstas gallery, Gathered Art Gallery & Studios, Park Inn

by Radisson and Secor Studios and Galleries. The Red Loop will begin running shuttles an hour after The Green Loop begins to “alleviate traffic congestion.”

Carlson said the Arts Commission is still trying to acquire more participating venues.

Free parking will be available at many loop stops, including 14th Street

by TSA, 1815 Adams St. by Ottawa Tavern, 1701 Adams St. by Manos Greek Restaurant and 1120 Adams St.

by Toledo City Paper. Maps are available at www.TheArtsCommission.org.

The Holiday Loop was new last year, but based on a reoccurring event.

The original program, Meet & Greet, started in 2005.

“We chartered a bus for the first time to highlight some interesting and unique spaces,” Carlson said. “In addition to the artists getting a chance to network and meet one another, they also got the chance to hop on a bus and see a really neat place.”

The event grew and transformed into what The Arts Commission now calls The Gallery Loop, which has happened in the spring and autumn for the past few years. The Holiday Loop is the same concept but in the spirit of the holiday season.

“It’s just geared toward holiday shopping,” Carlson said.

The Arts Commission is “the

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer vkroll@toledofreepress.com

Sebu Simonian and Ryan Merchant know it when they hear it.

Listen to Capital Cities’ “Farrah Fawcett Hair.”

“You know it when you see it/ You know it when it’s there/ Like Michael Jackson ‘Thriller’/ Like Farrah Fawcett hair/ It’s good s***.”

André 3000 of OutKast adds his wordplay to the track, and NPR’s Frank Tavares reads a list of things that make the cut: “Solar energy/ Nutella/ Democracy/ My voice/ Enjoying ceviche in Peru and seeing a double rainbow/ While listening to ‘Bitches Brew’ as recorded by Miles Davis.”

“We both love the trumpet and Miles Davis’ style and kind of more progressive production approaches are what interest us,” Simonian said. “And, of course, our trumpeter Spencer Ludwig is a huge fan of Miles Davis, so we thought it would be nice to give him a shout-out.”

Trumpet solos are featured on

Capital Cities’ international smash “Safe and Sound.”

“That was actually a song that [Merchant and I] wrote as a oneoff before we started the band, but we liked it so much and our friends liked it so much that we felt like we had something special, not only with the song, but with our collaborative chemistry,” Simonian said during a call from Allentown, Pa., en route to a show in Rhode Island.

The two singer-songwriters met thanks to Simonian’s ad offering production skills on Craigslist.

“When we got together, the collaborative production was instant, and we found opportunities to write together a lot, including music for TV commercials,” Simonian said.

“We kept writing and eventually had enough material to put out an album.”

That debut, June’s “In a Tidal Wave of Mystery,” borrows a line from “Safe and Sound” for its title.

And it has that cool, catchy dance music that’s retro yet modern.

“I think somehow the mix of influences naturally resulted in this sound

because we like the great songwriters of every decade, but we like it when they’re interesting and quirky and kind of a little off the beaten path in terms of production style, but the most important thing is still to have timeless and catchy melodies and lyrics,” Simonian said.

“We like the late Beatles and Pink Floyd. And then from the ’70s era, we like Stevie Wonder and the Bee Gees, and from the ’80s, we like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Depeche Mode, Hall & Oates. And from the ’90s, we like a lot of the British influences like Oasis and Blur and Suede and Radiohead. And then singer-songwriters like Jeff Buckley,” he said. “Somehow, these influences have led to what is now Capital Cities.”

The group specializes in grabbing attention; Lazy Hooks is the name of the band’s record label.

“I think the idea is that if the hook is really good, it shouldn’t have to work so hard,” Simonian said. “So if you write a good hook, you don’t have to worry about promoting it because it will sell itself.”

Croswell Opera House receives $1 million donation The Croswell Opera House in Adrian recently received a $1 million donation that will go toward a new round of renovations to the 147-yearold historic landmark.

Real estate developers George and Julia Argyros of Southern California donated the money Oct. 3 during a luncheon with Croswell staff and board members at the theater.

The couple has ties to the area.

Julia grew up in Adrian and graduated from Adrian High School in 1958. She has fond memories of the Croswell as a theater student, acting in her first play at the Croswell in ninth grade, said Jere Righter, Croswell’s artistic director.

Their intentions for the donation are to “preserve the heritage of the Croswell Opera House and allow future generations to enjoy this beautiful community treasure,” Julia Argyros said in a news release.

The Croswell is now in the development phase of a capital campaign project to bring the theater further up to date. The money will be used toward future renovations, Righter said.

“We were hoping [the Argyroses] would support the campaign. And [in regard to] the ‘when and where and how much,’ we were pleasantly surprised,” Righter said. “The gift is just the beginning of what we’re going to need because it’s all expensive stuff.”

The Croswell’s capital campaign, which hasn’t officially kicked off yet, now has $1.2 million in funds, according to a news release. The goal is $3.5 million, Righter said.

from 1920-67. It was scheduled to be demolished in 1967, but the Adrian Foundation stepped in and saved the building.

Today, the Croswell produces plays

and musicals through its Broadway season from May to December. It also hosts concerts, children’s shows, comedy, dueling pianos and more, Righter said.

“It’s really about improving our patrons’ services,” Righter said of the fundraising efforts. “I would just want to make sure we serve our patrons the best way we can.” O

“We don’t have [renovation] plans yet. We’re just in the conversation stage about it. But eventually we will.

[We] envision major renovations.”

The women’s bathrooms need to be updated because women stand in line up to 25 minutes, Righter said. The box office also needs fixing because patrons have to wait outside when waiting in line for a ticket. The lighting and sound could use a technology upgrade to improve production values.

Other changes are planned to the Heritage Room to allow for small performances and cabarets while a production is happening on the main stage, Righter said.

The most important aspects to maintain are the patrons’ quality experience and a quality production, Righter said.

“We want everyone to feel warmly welcomed in our building, and we want to provide them with a comfortable and warm environment,” Righter said.

The Croswell has been entertaining residents of Lenawee County and the surrounding areas since 1866.

It was named an official Michigan Historic Site in 1976 and in the 1980s was recognized as the “oldest continuously operating theater in Michigan, and third oldest in the United States,” according to the Croswell’s website. It was put on the National Register of Historic Places in the 1980s.

The theater began in the 1860s with concerts, lectures, vaudeville acts, minstrel shows and educational activities. Some legendary historical figures have graced the stage, including Susan B. Anthony, Frederick Douglass and Edwin Booth, according to the website.

Rooster is a 10-year-old male German Shepherd and Golden Retriever mix. The Toledo Area Humane Society (TAHS) accepted Rooster from another shelter after he was diagnosed with heartworm.

TAHS provided him with the treatment he needed and now Rooster is ready to spend his retirement in a loving home. He is sweet, easygoing and calm. He gets along well with other dogs and doesn’t demand a lot of attention. Rooster is semiindependent and will usually find a quiet out of the way place to take a long nap. This Golden may be in his golden years, but he is still full of life and has a lot of love to give to the right family. Rooster has been neutered, examined by a TAHS staff veterinarian, is current on his vaccinations and is microchipped.

It’s easy to fall in love with Oliver, the 5-year-old orange and white shorthair. Nuzzle up to him and listen to his little motor purr. This handsome boy was displaced when his owners got divorced. Oliver is very cuddly and loves attention. He is always excited to be petted and looks forward to spending time in the company of people. Oliver had his front paws declawed so you won’t need to worry about buying him scratching posts. Oliver is glad to have TAHS taking such good care of him but what he really wants is a permanent home with fewer roommates. With so many different kitties to pet in the shelter, Oliver misses the one-on-one attention that he loves so much. If you are looking for a gentle companion that’s full of love, Oliver is a good match for you. Oliver has
