For two years in the mid-1990s, I watched July 4 fireworks from the steps on the lincoln Memorial in Washington, d.C. The epic bursts of color and light soar over the Washington Monu-

ment and the reflecting pool on the National Mall, while 1 million people “ooh!” and “ah!” It’s a definitive experience, like spending Christmas at the North Pole or Halloween in salem’s lot.

Fireworks are fun, but crowds, bugs, heat and traffic are problematic for my increasingly cranky and fussy demeanor (and for 3- and 5-year-old boys who take potty breaks every 45.8 seconds, a frequency that exponentially increases the further from a potty they are). My family was fortunate this year; a friend of ours booked a room and hosted a viewing party at the Park Inn for the July 3 downtown Toledo fireworks.

eleven stories above summit street, the view to the horizon provided an amazing warm-up show. Fireworks displays in oregon, rossford and throughout Toledo (official and otherwise) provided a constant tableau of color and distant booms. We were at the wrong angle to see the Mud Hens’ fireworks over Fifth Third Field, but we could see the reflections and hear the cracks, roars and rumbles from that display, which we knew signaled the imminent blast of Toledo’s show.

We tuned the hotel clock radio to 94.5 ’XKr to hear the simulcast music for the fireworks. The fireworks display was a tremendous and exciting big-league effort, and the music simulcast provided an eclectic soundtrack and tribute to America’s birthday.

Blade staff writer Zoe Gorman described the music as “an All-American classic rock soundtrack,” which it kinda sorta was, ex-cluding appearances by england’s Beatles (twice), rolling stones, The Who, Jeff Beck, Yes and Pink Floyd and Australia’s AC/dC (twice).

The soundtrack was produced by ’XKr’s program director, dan McClintock. McClintock, a former Toledo Free Press contributor, is a veteran radio executive whose rocker credentials are beyond reproach.

McClintock had an unenviable task; he had to produce a July 4 mix tape for a citywide audience that stayed true to his station’s tone. de-fining the success or failure of such a project is as subjective as choosing a favorite color; 1,000 people could take the challenge and none of them would produce something that would please every musical taste.

Having said that, among its many triumphs, there were — to my ears — some odd moments in the mix.

The sunday event started with Chicago’s “saturday in the Park” and segued to a loop repeating the title from Bruce springsteen’s “Born in the UsA.” By now, it must be common knowledge that this song does not celebrate America; it is harshly critical of its poli-tics and failures. either McClintock took the license to separate the words from their context, or he perpetrated a subversive and radical move by opening the fireworks with sarcastic irony. My guess is Mc-Clintock would stress the former action, but the latter theory is actu-ally more faithful to the visions of the American revolution.

The mix spiraled through a series of Attention deficit disorder edits, pulling snippets of songs that used words such as “freedom” to form a chain of staccato beats that set the aural framework.

In an email conversation, McClintock said the 22-minute mix took about 15 hours to assemble.

“94-5 ‘XKr is a rock station but the soundtrack also really needs a wide appeal as you have an audience from eight to 88 and then some, and a lot of songs are must-haves,” McClintock wrote.

He said while he had input from sponsors and Zambelli’s Fireworks, “There really was no approval necessary. It was more like an exchange of ideas to get the right dynamics and flow.”

The mix featured a run-through of songs about America (including the lynyrd skynyrd staple “sweet Home Alabama,” a song whose ambiguous racial pol-itics have been dulled by time and repetition).

It included some great choices — “America the Beautiful” by ray Charles, Creedence Clearwater

revival’s “Fortunate son,” (another song that sounds patriotic but is a biting indictment of the American system — maybe McClintock was being subversive) and a slick Jimi Hendrix-to-Whitney Houston blend of “star-spangled Banner” versions.

Two odd moments slowed the mix to a stop. one was a seg-ment from ssgt. Barry sadler’s No. 1 record from 1966, “The Ballad of the Green Berets,” which related the death of the green beret. I understand the deference to sacrifice and respect the sentiment, but playing the song during a fireworks display is like playing Terry Jacks’ “seasons in the sun” during a wedding reception or Verve Pipe’s “The Freshmen” at a high school reunion — it’s piling on emotionally.

The mix stopped to pay respects to the upcoming 10th anniver-sary of the sept. 11, 2001 attacks. A series of news clips and speech snippets told the story as the fireworks splashed across the sky. That was followed, not by a fight-back song by Toby Keith or a rumina-tion such as Alan Jackson’s “do You remember,” but by an instru-mental version of … “over the rainbow”?

“That’s Jeff Beck from his last studio Cd,” McClintock wrote. “That was a suggestion from John Greer at Zambelli ... I popped it in after the 9-11 tribute.”

Again, all of this is incredibly subjective, but the dour and drag-ging version of “rainbow” just didn’t work to my ears.

There was a too-short clip from Katy Perry’s “Firework” and a nicely edited run through the armed services themes before an ef-fective false ending and the finale. The armed services music was di-rectly followed by Pink Floyd’s “run like Hell,” and the production ended with a tribute to fireworks sponsor The Blade, Ted Nugent’s “stranglehold”; both choices make it hard to discount that subver-sive thread that wove through the music.

Kudos and thanks to McClintock for taking on the project and making his “July 4 Mix tape.” It offered highs, lows, smart moves, silly moves, corny moments, emotional moments and a mixed bag of just about everything.

A lot like America herself. O

Publisher’s statement

Businesses, economic development agencies and gov-ernments can plan and strategize with all their might to bring positive news to Northwest ohio, but no one

could foresee an interesting trend that is shining a good light on our region — television reality shows.

The past year has seen no fewer than five such pro-grams feature people who are garnering attention for the right reasons.

The queen of this trend is Crystal Bowersox, whose runner-up journey on FoX’s “American Idol” captivated fans and brought cameras and fame to her native el-liston and her song “Holy Toledo.” Bowersox continues to bring good headlines, with her recent Washington, d.C. appearance to discuss juvenile diabetes.

Toledo Free Press has fol-lowed the story of Kaylee

Halko, who lives with progeria, a rare condition that accel-erates aging. The indomitable Kaylee has been featured on shows with dr. oz and Barbara Walters, and was the focus of the TlC documentary “6 Going on 60.”

The Frisch family was featured on the ABC show “ex-treme Makeover: Home edition,” which brought host Ty Pennington and his crew to Northwest ohio to build a new home.

More recently, Joni Meyer-Crothers was the subject of an episode of TlC’s “extreme Couponing.” on the show, she purchased more than $3,000 in groceries for less than $50 cash, with the entire haul donated to local charities. Meyer-Crothers expects to make a return appearance on the show; Toledo Free Press will keep you updated on her philanthropic efforts.

on July 5, dana Iliev and lori Jacobs won the competi-tion on a Tim Burton-themed episode of Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars.” As we reported in september, Toledo natives Iliev and Jacobs worked together at Grumpy’s in downtown Toledo, becoming good friends. Jacobs briefly moved to New York City, and when Iliev would visit, the pair would explore cool food ideas to bring back to Toledo.

The cumulative effect of all these positive appearances is to introduce the nation to Northwest ohioans who have good stories to tell and who bring good attention to our region. You can’t buy that kind of publicity, but hopefully we can cash in on it by showing the world what a great place Northwest ohio is to live. O

SHREDDING THE CURTAIN LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dead woodThere were seven pieces of leg-

islation before Toledo City Council at the July 5 agenda

review for the yearly levying of spe-cial assessments. one concerning shade trees within public rights of way created the most discussion.

“The $3 million for tree assess-ment entails specifically what?” Councilman Tom Waniewski said.

“What are we as tax-payers getting for our dollars?” said dennis Garvin, commissioner of Parks and Forestry. “emergency service in the event of storms, clearing the right of way, if a tree or large branch lands on a house, we’ll take care of it.”

removing trees, performing safety trims, tree replacement and stump removal were also part of the services that were performed in 2010 that total $3.1 million in assess-ments. Toledo has 90,000 trees that line the streets of Toledo.

Waniewski requested more de-tails on services performed, how many trees were trimmed, removed and replaced in 2010 by forestry.

“Help me understand also the process of trees, when one is re-moved, we’ll be back in a year to take the stump out?” Waniewski said.

“essentially, if a citizen calls, for-estry has the entire inventory of trees computerized by address. every citizen call, every call by a coun-cilman, is chronicled on it,” Garvin said. “so if a citizen calls to have a tree trimmed or removed, a certified arborist looks at it within a week.”

There is a rating system on the health of the tree and the services per-formed are done on a priority basis.

“Many times a citizen will want an action on a tree that its health does not merit — they just want the tree cut down. We won’t cut down a healthy tree because someone doesn’t want it,” Garvin said.

“If it’s in poor health it’s going to get a higher priority. Unfortunately, I can’t get someone out right away as often as I would like to — for example — we had 7,700 ash trees. We’re just now getting the last 1,000 down,” he said. “We’ve got two contractors out there now, those that are being re-moved are completely standing dead.”

Garvin said the division of forestry has six crews that cover the entire city. When a tree is removed, stump re-moval does not take place until closer to the time a replant will take place.

“We try to get a tree replaced

within a year — tree planting is twice a year, it’s in the spring and in the autumn,” he said. “We are behind in our tree replacement, our greater priority, frankly, is getting all these dead trees down.”

“There’s parts of the city in the old West end, the old south end, parts of West Toledo and the Central City in particular and the North end that

still have blocks and blocks of just standing dead ash trees.”

Toledo has received $400,000 through the ohio department of Natural resources for ash tree removal and a $30,000 grant to replant ash trees that were re-

moved in the old West end. Garvin said he’d recently sub-mitted a grant to seek funding for re-moving ash trees in parks.

during a July 6 phone call, Garvin said there are a lot of other ohio cities the emerald ash borer is just getting into. “They are using Toledo as a model as to how to respond.”

“Is there any coordination be-tween you and Toledo edison for their private vendor, Penn line, as they go through the neighborhoods and adjust the conditions of trees as it relates to the lines?” Toledo Coun-cilman d. Michael Collins asked during agenda review.

“No, edison works completely independent in the interest of main-taining their line clearance,” Garvin said. “Trees get topped, one sided, a great big “V” goes right through the middle of it, in the interest of main-taining power.”

“I know exactly where they are, because our citizens call us immedi-ately screaming, ‘What are you doing to our trees’?”

Collins said it doesn’t do much for the eye appeal. Garvin agreed. “Whenever new trees are planted, we look up — and the new trees do not go anywhere near the height of a primary line,” he said.

The primary lines are 20 feet tall, the flowering trees used to replace shade trees only grow to 15 feet tall.

What happens to the cut trees and branches? They make two different kinds of mulch that Toledo uses for landscaping and sells to other local governments and the public.

If a tree falls in Toledo’s urban forest — forestry will mulch it. O

To THe edITor,Michael s. Miller’s July 3 column, “The liberal establish-

ment,” is commendable in many ways. I wish, however, to register one nit-pick with his conclusion.

Miller contends that current political discourse is worse than that of the past, due to a “decline into anger and con-tempt.” As a “progenitor” of “our modern vitriol,” he names M. stanton evans. The evidence? evans’ “strikingly ex-treme” conclusion (in 1965) that “an excellent case can be made for the position that liberalism is a genteel American version, not of socialism, but of fascism.”

Was political discourse really milder in the ’60s? evans’ suggestion was published the year after lyndon Johnson’s infamous “daisy” ad, coupled with bumper stickers reading “Goldwater: In your guts, you know he’s nuts.” some people took such calumny literally: one magazine claimed that Goldwater was mentally ill — a libel for which Goldwater was awarded $75,000 (the equivalent of more than half a million dollars today) in damages.

Was evans’ comparison of liberalism to fascism really a break from prior rhetoric? In fact such comparisons were more common in the past. observers from Milton Friedman to Ayn rand had discerned fascism in JFK’s “New Frontier,” while “the New deal was often compared with Fascism,” ac-cording to cultural historian Wolfgang schivelbusch. “There was hardly a commentator who failed to see elements of Italian corporatism in roosevelt’s managed economy ...”

Are such comparisons necessarily expressions of vitriol? Fdr himself admitted to sociologist lewis Feuer, “what we were doing in this country were some of the things that were being done in russia and even some of the things that were being done under Hitler in Germany. But we were doing them in an orderly way.” Was this an expression of contempt — or a calm statement of fact?

evans traced the development of modern liberalism from modest beginnings to its metastasis in the Great society. Today we see what is billed as a “21st Century New deal” in-volving massive government bail-outs, nationalizations and “partnerships” in industries from banking to housing to autos.

evans may not be a prophet, but such developments — in light of Mussolini’s demand for “state intervention in economic production” in “the form of control, assistance or direct management” — suggest that his analysis may not have been as far off the mark as one might think. O

Careless characterizationTo THe edITor,

I would like to commend Toledo Free Press for the series that focuses on the great work done by Feed lucas County Children (FlCC). Through his volunteer experience at a meal site, Patrick Timmis (“A day feeding children,” July 3) was able to give the public some insight into the lack of food security in the community.

Although he provided great descriptions of the children at the meal site, I believe that Timmis’ characterization of some of the families is unfair and biased. I don’t doubt that Timmis observed individuals and families that did not ap-pear appreciative of the purpose and service of FlCC. But, I think it is careless to say that some of the participants “are taking advantage of the program.”

Without more information and authentic respect for the struggles of these families, Timmis’ statements are judg-mental and reinforce stereotypes of the poor as unable and/or unwilling to make good decisions. Blaming the victim makes it easy to explain away behavior that we do not un-derstand or accept as our own.

Too often, we avoid the conversation about tough sub-jects like lack of food, lack of housing, lack of health care, lack of justice, and lack of hope in our community. I trust that Timmis and Toledo Free Press will continue to focus on the strengths and challenges of the community in a way that does not limit a deeper analysis of these complex issues. O

New Toledo Fire Chief luis san-tiago views his job as much more than putting out fires.

The chief ’s responsibilities are not limited to running the fire department and directing the firefighters — the role also embraces politics, Homeland security and response to non-fire-re-lated disasters.

“2001 broadened our scope a little bit, and we’ve become really an all-hazards department,” santiago said. “If there’s a problem ... we’re going to be expected to deal with it.”

santiago replaced former chief Michael Wolever on July 2, becoming the first latino to hold that position in Toledo. Wolever served four years as fire chief, with santiago as his assistant chief. The pair worked closely together to direct field operations and to shape the department’s practices and policy.

santiago said Wolever was a mentor to him, involving him in the chief ’s work and grooming him to be the next chief.

“We’ve pretty much been man-aging the department together for the last four years,” Wolever said. “If we didn’t both agree on something, we didn’t go forward with it.”

santiago said he respected Wo-lever’s attitude that any decision they made would affect santiago longer than himself. In fact, Wolever was more intent on santiago becoming the new chief than santiago was.

“I had much earlier in the relation-ship thought that lou would be a good fire chief, and Chief santiago was a bit

reluctant to take it on, so we had some arm wrestling,” Wolever said. “Fortu-nately for all involved he acquiesced.”

Looking back and aheadWolever grew up in the old West

end and graduated from Central Catholic High school in 1966. After a couple of years in the Navy, a stint at the University of Toledo and an electrical apprenticeship, he joined the Whitehouse Fire department in 1977 as a paramedic, drawn by the job’s excitement.

He moved to the Toledo Fire department (TFd) the next year, where he began moving up through the ranks and met santiago when he joined as a recruit in 1984. He viewed his occupation as a way to impact the lives of suffering people.

“You are what the people see at their lowest,” Wolever said. “either you’re going to see someone who’s professional, compassionate and con-cerned with how they’re doing, or you’re going to see someone who’s not like that, and I chose the former.”

Wolever said major accomplish-ments have been developing a tech-nical rescue team and his work with Homeland security — he was the vice-chair for the ohio Homeland security Advisory Committee.

He also updated the process to become a battalion commander at TFd to reflect changing demands on the position. When Wolever and santiago prepared to qualify for that rank, they had to memorize textbooks on fighting fires. Now, the chief administers a formal cur-riculum — designed in partnership with Bowling Green state University

— tailored for battalion commanders. “I think we both realized that the fire department was going to rely heavily on battalion chiefs being able to op-erate in this environment.” Wolever said. “so now they’re going to have a greater understanding of government and how it works and the political system and how it works.”

“We were preparing them to be street chiefs and not administrative chiefs,” santiago added.

Wolever’s 33-year career at TFd ended July 1. The time felt right to retire, he said, and he does not have huge plans for the future.

“Chief Wolever, if you would con-sider what a fire chief was, he was truly a fire chief,” said Toledo Mayor Mike Bell, who as the former fire chief worked with Wolever and santiago. “He was very strategic-oriented and he had a very good command presence at emergency scenes. That’s what he did, and he was very good at it.”

santiago, who joined the depart-ment when he was 20, faces the chal-lenge of upholding its performance in the face of tightened budgets, Bell said. He also has to deal with low staff levels and plans to bring on 25 to 30 recruits in the next year. But both his old chiefs believe he is up to it the challenge.

“He’s come through the ranks, so he has a pretty good knowledge of each position,” Bell said. “He’s very well-balanced, very stable [and] doesn’t panic in emergency situations.”

Wolever matches that confidence.“The department becomes a huge

part of you,” Wolever said. “I don’t think it would be easy to leave if the person who was your successor was less than what Chief santiago is.” O

The Toledo Area regional Transit Authority (TArTA) received a $3.49 million grant from the U.s. government on July 5, one week after a potentially damaging amendment was passed.

The “state of Good repair Award” from the U.s. department of Trans-portation — Federal Transit Admin-istration will provide TArTA with 38 new paratransit vehicles and five Call-A-ride vehicles for the future.

It was the largest amount of funding in ohio by the program, ac-cording to TArTA.

The new vehicles will replace the majority of the fleet of buses that are as much as 20 years old, according to James Gee, general manager of TArTA.

“For transit to be a real option, it has to be reliable. In today’s economy, reliable bus services is essential for many people getting to work on time,” Gee said. “It fills a critical need for transportation in our community and provides a real shot in the arm for the neighborhood.”

The Paratransit operations Fa-cility will become home to about 100 TArTA employees when it opens in october or November, Gee said. Construction began on the $9.6 mil-lion facility in 2010 on the site of the former Page dairy that has been va-cant wooded land for several years.

“We got rid of the old Page dairy to make room for the new Paratransit operations Facility. It is an investment in jobs and people who rely on TArPs for transportation,” U.s. rep. Marcy Kaptur said.

TArPs has experienced 15 con-secutive years of ridership growth which has doubled during the past three years becoming the fastest growing program in ohio. The Call-A-ride program has grown by 20 per-cent due to an increase of employment trips taking people to work, Gee said.

“This is not only an investment in the jobs of today in this region but it is also an investment in the people that rely on TArPs for independent lives as productive members of our com-munity,” Kaptur said.

Toledo was one of roughly 150 cities around the nation to receive federal funding out of the nearly 400 cities that sent in project applications.

“Toledo has come out a big winner in our national competition,” Federal Transit Administrator Peter rogoff said. “It was their vision in recognizing that they need to step up and bring the tax dollars of Northern ohio citizens back to the taxpayers of Northern

ohio by applying for funds to replace their paratransit vehicles.

“To succeed transit has to be desir-able and it has to be reliable. The ve-hicles we are replacing here were more than 20 years old and frankly they were being driven into the ground given the growth in ridership and service that they’ve had to churn out. When you do that you undermine reliability.”

Not all in favorNot everyone was in favor of the

move, however, including Perrysburg Mayor Nelson evans and Waterville Mayor derek Merrin.

“The government can do that if they want but I just don’t know if buses are what they need,” evans said. “You have to have drivers to drive them and I see a bunch of empty buses as it is now. I don’t know if that’s going to save the system or not.”

“It’s a prime example of gov-ernment waste and why we have a $14 trillion deficit,” Merrin said.

An amendment authored by state rep. randy Gardner was passed into the state budget bill on June 29 and the communities involved in TArTA will now have the chance to vote on whether or not to be involved with the regional transit authority as early as 2012.

The current TArTA system states that when one of the nine subdivisions wishes to withdraw from TArTA, the move would have to be approved by the rest of the members. However, the financial share of the community leaving would have to be covered by the rest of the participants. Perrysburg has attempted to leave the system in previous years but has been blocked by the other members.

“We asked to get out and the way the thing is set up there is no way any-body is going to let you go,” evans said. “You are basically permanently taxed and you have no say in it.”

“The current situation does not provide individual communities with autonomy,” Merrin said. “It allows one community to tell another community what it cannot do and what their taxes are going to be in regards to TArTA and that’s a problem.”

TArTA President Jim Gee has de-scribed the potential amendment as “disastrous” to its future.

“The rules and policies of TArTA’s ‘Hotel California’ have been changed,” Gardner said. “Now elected officials and citizens in Perrysburg and the eight other communities don’t have to forever accept the words ‘you can never leave.’”

Back in May, Gardner said ross-ford would also be interested in pos-sibly opting out of TArTA. rossford Mayor Bill Verbosky, Jr. was not avail-

able for comment.Although some have expressed

interest in leaving TArTA, Toledo Mayor Mike Bell expressed that To-ledo has no plans in opting out.

“I don’t have any control over [the others],” Bell said. “I can just say that we will be extremely supportive of TArTA. The largest impact is probably on our citizens so we will do whatever we can to make sure TArTA is successful.”

If some of the communities de-cide to opt out from TArTA, it will not necessarily lead to the community being without public transportation. Both evans and Merrin didn’t rule out using TArTA or its paratransit service TArPs in the future.

evans has a committee working on ways to make TArTA work better for Perrysburg and will propose those op-tions if the residents vote to opt out in upcoming elections.

“even if we vote ourselves out of TArTA, it doesn’t mean we can’t enter into a contractual relationship with TArTA for a specified service and an amount of money that people are willing to spend,” evans said.

evans also stressed the importance of TArPs, calling the paratransit ser-vice “vital.”

Merrin is looking at three options if Waterville leaves TArTA. The first is to continue to use the TArPs service, as is allowed in the recently passed amendment. The second option would be to contract with a private company while the final option is for the government to “not get involved with the transportation.”

TArTA is also dealing with a de-

cision by ohio Auditor of state dave Yost, who released a news release May 5 that said TArTA illegally lent $66,885 to “Citizens for TArTA.”

Merrin had filed a complaint with

the lucas County Board of elections on Jan. 12. O

A July 2 groundbreaking ceremony commemorated the sale of 69 acres of land on the Marina district to a Chi-nese investment group.

“The ceremony was excellent,” Toledo Mayor Mike Bell said. “our delegation came in and was there to actually sign the deed to take over the land and give us ideas.”

dashing Pacific bought the property with plans of spending an estimated $200 million to $300 mil-lion to develop the area on the wa-terfront. Bell was joined by several members of Council and dashing Pacific representatives.

“We are proud and honored to become part of the family here,” said Jimmy Wu, son of dashing Pacific co-investor Wu Kin Hung. “Together we can shape our future and we can shape the city’s future too in which we, our children and grandchildren will thrive for generations to come. Together we can do it.”

Jimmy Wu and his new wife announced that they have grown

to enjoy Northwest ohio so much that they will soon leave their home in New York City to move to Perrysburg. He denounced the need for his old New York residence’s keys in one hand while waving a To-ledo Mud Hens foam finger in the other hand.

“To have their delegation talk about moving to the Toledo area, I think that is commitment and that they want to be a part of our future,” Bell said. “I’m just happy that they are on board.”

The ceremony also included the presentation of a large rock, pre-sented by dashing Pacific’s other co-investor Yuan Xiaohong. she stated through a translator that the large boulder was a Chinese tradi-tion which symbolized their interest in planting roots in Toledo.

The rock served as a replacement to the typical American ground-breaking tradition of breaking the earth with a shovel.

In honor of lucas, the baby el-ephant born at the Toledo Zoo on June 3, Yuan presented the rock to dr. Anne Baker, Ceo and executive director of the Toledo Zoo. In return, they received dVds with footage of

the first month of lucas’ life.“We wanted to dedicate this big

rock to the Toledo Zoo, to their el-ephant lucas, to symbolize our re-lationship,” Yuan said. “Just like an animal, we live together harmoniously loving the earth.”

Andi Norman, the Zoo’s director of marketing & public relations, said there is no official delivery time for the rock to be delivered. It will be placed in the elephant facility, which is cur-rently being renovated. It is scheduled to open next year.

“We are very honored that they chose to donate this to the Toledo Zoo,” Norman said. “For them it’s a symbol of their solid commitment to the community.”

rudolph|libbe has been chosen by dashing Pacific to be the contractor of the new Marina district proper-ties. rudolph|libbe Chairman Bill rudolph said, “We’re pleased to be working with our partners on this project. We look forward to helping them build a successful development in Toledo, and we welcome them to our community.”

The timeline for development ofthe land has not been announced. O

Toledo Free Press will focus a six-week series on the mission of Feed Lucas County Children (FLCC). From July 3 to July 17, Walt Churchill’s markets will participate in a “Round Up Hunger” campaign to raise funds for FLCC. Cus-tomers can contribute to a child’s meal by rounding up the change for their pur-chases to the next dollar. That money will go directly to FLCC’s meal fund.

Tony siebeneck needs a new kitchen.

The summer he founded Feed lucas County Children (FlCC) in 2002, the charity provided about 7,200 meals to impoverished, hungry local children. last summer, FlCC provided 242,000 meals.

That growth pales in com-parison to the remaining need.

In lucas County, 29,962 c h i l d r e n younger than 18 — 27.4 percent — live at or below the poverty line, according to the U.s. Census.

during the school year, the National school lunch Program ensures at least one meal a day for them. But that pro-gram halts during the long summer break. More and more children have turned to FlCC to fill the gap in the past 10 years, and siebeneck said the operation has grown steadily in scale.

Now, FlCC is rapidly approaching its physical capacity. Its clean stainless steel kitchen can comfortably turn out 8,000 meals per day, siebeneck said. He is not interested in overloading, which could result in sloppiness, mis-takes and poor food preparation.

That means FlCC will soon have to turn away hungry mouths if de-mand for meals continues to grow at anywhere near the current rate.

“We need a bigger kitchen to go after more kids,” siebeneck said.

FlCC rents about 3,200 square feet in the old Macomber High school, a massive three-story building that siebeneck said needs a few million dollars in repairs to make any more of its space usable as a kitchen.

The organization also uses a 6,500 -square-foot cafeteria adjoining the

kitchen as a staging site for volunteers to package the meals before leaving to deliver them. siebeneck does not rent the space, and said he told the land-lord to consider it a donation to the children. so far, the building’s owner has allowed FlCC to use the space gratis, but situation’s impermanence makes siebeneck uneasy.

The kitchen has also maxed out the outdated electrical system and its gas line, siebeneck said. It would be senseless to pour so much money into a building FlCC does not even own, he said, so he is looking to build a new kitchen or renovate a building more suited to his needs.

He estimated the project would cost about $2 million for a new building or $900,000 for a renovation — money that would all have to come from private donations.

“The philanthropy in this county could make this kitchen happen in a heartbeat,” siebeneck said.

With a larger kitchen, siebeneck said FlCC could easily distribute 10,000 meals a day, with 500,000 a re-alistic number for the summer. FlCC would also have the ability to operate as more of a community kitchen, al-lowing other agencies to utilize freezer space and distribute food there to whole families, rather than to only FlCC’s children. each meal costs FlCC $1.40.

“You can see he’s completely growing out of his place there,” said deb Vas, ex-ecutive director of Toledo seagate Food Bank. she said a centralized kitchen would be great for the county.

Patrice Powers-Barker at osU ex-tension said the kitchen could be a site for classes to teach low-income fami-lies basic nutrition, food safety and how to prepare and stretch food.

“There’s too much greed,” siebe-neck said. “There needs to be a little bit more compassion about helping each other and helping other charities, and that’s what we do best.” O

seniors who have wondered which local businesses offer savings for Golden Buckeye cardholders may find a new online search feature helpful.

The tool, debuted earlier this year by the ohio department of Aging, can be found at the site www.aging.ohio.gov/goldenbuckeye.

To use the tool, first choose a search category. options include: Cars and Transportation; Food and restau-rants; Health, Wellness and Medical; Home Improvement and repair & Maintenance services; Personal Care; Pet services and supplies; Profes-sional services; recreation, entertain-ment and education; senior Activities and services; shopping; Vacation and Travel; and Miscellaneous.

Next, enter a city and state, ZIP code or local landmark, such as the Toledo Zoo, Fifth Third Field or To-ledo Museum of Art.

Finally, choose a radius ranging from 0.1 mile to 10 miles and click “search” to display a map and list of businesses that meet your criteria. Hover your cursor over the merchant’s name to locate it on the map and then click the name or the map marker for more information.

dennis evans, deputy director of communications for ohio depart-ment of Aging, said feedback on the tool has been positive.

“People do find it helpful and do like the new feature,” evans said. “Before, we had more of a direc-tory approach, where you could go through by county and look at what vendors were there. But this search is a little more user-friendly as it allows people to find information about vendors closer to home and in a category of something they’re looking for as opposed to just a business name.”

He said the department is always

looking for ways to improve.“A lot of other sites use that

type of search so people are used to looking for information in that manner and we just wanted to pro-vide services in a way that is useful to people,” evans said.

More than two million ohioans are eligible for the free Golden Buckeye card, which is honored at more than 20,000 businesses state-wide, according to the ohio depart-ment of Aging website. All ohioans

age 60 or older, as well as adults ages 18 to 59 who have disabilities as de-fined by social security, are eligible for the card.

lisa Myers, director of social ser-vices at the Wood County Committee on Aging, said she was unaware of the new search feature, but thought it would be useful for the agency.

“We take the applications for the Golden Buckeye, but oftentimes people do ask where they can use it,” Myers said. “our receptionist, who is

the one who takes the applications, wanted me to forward the link be-cause she thought it would be very helpful. People often ask her ‘oK, where can we use it?’ and she doesn’t have a good response, so I did forward her that link, so hopefully it will be good for us.”

representatives at Maumee se-nior Center, Margaret Hunt senior Center and rossford senior Center said they are rarely asked by seniors where to use their Golden Buckeye

cards. None were aware of the new online search tool but said they planned to try it.

listed offers and participating businesses are subject to change without notice, so cardholders are advised to call ahead to verify before visiting a business, evans said.

If an error is discovered, residents can alert the ohio department of Aging by calling (800) 266-4346 or filling out the “Contact Us” form on the website. O

The Importance of VaccinesFifty years ago, polio and measles were common, often dangerous, childhood illnesses. More recently, chickenpox tormented kids. But, thanks to the development of vaccines for all of these illnesses, today our children enjoy healthier childhoods.

In the fi rst two years of your newborn’s life, he or she will receive 17 to 20 vaccinations. These help protect them from more than 30 different illnesses. Because these vaccines may lose effectiveness, your child will need booster shots at age 4 and then another set of shots in adolescence.

Your child’s pediatrician should follow national guidelines for immunization recommendations. Talk with him or her to learn which vaccines are required by the state and which are recommended. Receiving all recommended vaccines will maximize your child’s defense from disease and help them lead a healthier life.

The side effects of vaccinations may include: irritation around the injection site, fever and sleepiness. These potential effects are minimal and much safer than contracting the disease itself.

To learn more, visit the Center for Disease Control and Academy of Pediatrics web sites. Talk with your child’s pediatrician about which vaccines they recommend. Together, you can create a plan that will keep your child’s health protected.

GUEST COLUMN

“They’ll take my home ... They’ll make me spend all my money ... I shouldn’t have to get ‘relief ’.”

These are just some of the misconceptions seniors have about applying for Medicaid

programs. But sometimes, there is no choice. When a person needs 24-hour care because of dementia or needs a lot of hands-on assistance in order to remain in their home to “age in place,” or must live in a long-term care facility due to an accident or ill-ness, Medicaid is the state-run, Fed-

erally funded means-tested program that can help to pay for that type of care. Your taxes have gone towards funding this payer source — it is not “charity.”

Much of my work as a care manager and a social worker is meeting with families to educate them about the realities of applying for Medicaid. sometimes it is the only logical and practical way to care for a loved one. Many people do not know

there are two ways to re-ceive care: PAssPorT, a program administered in ohio by the Area office on Aging and budgeted through the Medicaid system, that allows a person to remain at home and receive care if appro-priate, and Medicaid for long term care uses the

same financial criteria as PAssPorT to qualify a person to live in a Medicaid-approved facility.

NoTe: We are not talking about

Medicare. Medicare is insurance. It pays for hospital and doctor visits and short-term rehabilitation stays in a nursing facility.

Medicaid is the program that pays for long-term care, if a person needs that level of care and is oth-erwise eligible by meeting financial requirements. Anyone whose loved one must be cared for long term in a facility should consider applying for Medicaid as soon as possible in order to preserve assets.

Applying for Medicaid can be a daunting task and many providers often advertise they will assist an ap-plicant for a fee. Consumers need to be aware there are many options from which to choose a Medicaid specialist. some attorneys know Medicaid well enough to assist a consumer; some long-term care facilities have Med-icaid experts who will assist with the application; and there are some pri-vate firms/individuals who advertise that they will assist and represent the consumer in a Medicaid application process as a Medicaid specialist.

Many consumers apply on their own, not realizing there were ways experts could have made the process easier and with more longterm sav-ings. Consumers need to realize there are many choices in Medicaid plan-ning. Consider researching several options before hiring any professional.

“After being a Guest in the Rehab Center at The Laurels, I wish I would have known about this place when my husband was alive. He needed care after a surgery for strengthening and we couldn’t fi nd an option that worked well for us. I had the chance to experience The Laurels for myself after an illness and I was amazed with the service, kindness, and care. I tell everyone now, because I want them to know there are choices.”

Financially, there are two main considerations in the Medicaid ap-proval process: Income and assets. Income is money that comes in every month as a retirement benefit; assets are products or accounts which are held in bank accounts, money mar-kets, life insurance, and other financial vehicles which are a part of a person’s net worth.

That said, let’s discuss a few myths and realities of the Medicaid applica-tion and process.

“They will take my home.” If the person is applying for PAss-

PorT the home is exempt from consideration as an asset. The main purpose of PAssPorT, as a Medicaid payer source program, is to provide in-home assistance to remain at home for as long as possible; therefore the government definitely wants the home to be an available asset.

If a person needs care in a facility, the home is exempt as long as a sur-

viving spouse (called the “community spouse” versus the “institutionalized spouse”) is living in the home at the time of application. The government does not want a person to become homeless if their spouse needs long-term care.

“The government will make me spend all my money.”

In the 1980s, the government en-acted the “spousal Impoverishment Act,” which provides for the “commu-nity spouse” to retain assets enough to care for themselves, while still receiving assistance to pay for the institution-alized spouse or the spouse needing PAssPorT assistance. The formula for asset retention is complex and there are many pitfalls consumers can fall into when they attempt the application pro-cess without expert guidance.

The government does not “force you to spend all of your money” to be approved for Medicaid. In ohio a spouse may retain one-half of the couple’s assets at application time, or

at the time the spouse needing care has been institutionalized for 30 days or more — this rule applies to the first time in the past the person was insti-tutionalized, even if they subsequently came home. There are also maximum and minimum amounts of assets a spouse can retain. Currently, a com-munity spouse is not allowed to re-tain more than $109,560, or less than $21,912, while the spouse needing care can have no more than $1,500 in his or her name.

However, once an official determi-nation has been made by the Medicaid specialist at the county jobs and family services office, the assets must be “spent down” to the amount specified in the rules. This money can be spent down by fixing a roof, purchasing a

newer car for the community spouse or by making other improvements to the house for example.

one should never begin the spending down process until the ap-plication has been made and the amount to spend down has been de-termined by the caseworker.

“I shouldn’t have to get ‘relief.’”our greatest generation grew up

in the depression. “relief ” was the term used during that era for indi-gent persons who had to rely on the government for sustenance. Many of our seniors feel applying for govern-ment assistance is shameful and re-flects poorly on their work ethic and moral values. I always share with my clients, “You’ve paid taxes into a system that provides this care. You

do not need this assistance because you are unable or unwilling to work, but because you cannot afford to pay for the high cost of longterm care.” There is no shame in the fact we are living longer and often need hands-on assistance with activities of daily living as we age. O

Toledo feminist bookstore People Called Women has managed to stay open for 18 years, even as more than 100 similar shops across North America have closed.

Now Ohio’s last feminist bookstore is struggling and asking for the com-munity’s support.

“It’s always been hanging on by a thread; that’s always been true of femi-nist bookstores and many independent bookstores,” said owner Gina Mercurio, who moved back to her native Toledo to open the store in 1993. “I’m fine being poor; I can deal with that to a point, but I’ve hit that point now.”

On July 5, Mercurio posted a note to the business’s Facebook page: “Dear friends of PCW, These are difficult times for independent bookstores, par-ticularly feminist bookstores. People Called Women is no exception. We are writing to let you know that PCW is at a critical juncture. We are in the process of determining if we have enough sup-port to keep PCW open. Do people in our community want a feminist book-store and can we sustain it? If your an-swer to that is yes, there are several ways you can show your support.”

Through July 16, Mercurio is hosting a Staying in Business Sale, of-fering 20 percent off all new books and a free used book with every purchase.

People can also support the shop’s monthly book drive by giving a tax-deductible donation toward a gift cer-tificate for a local nonprofit. July dona-tions are being collected for the Cocoon Shelter in Bowling Green, a shelter for battered women and their children.

When Mercurio opened People Called Women, there were 132 femi-nist bookstores in the U.S. and Canada, including in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati; today there are fewer than 20 and no others in Ohio.

“PCW has survived in Toledo for a variety of reasons — most of them relating to you,” Mercurio wrote in the Facebook note. “Some of you shop at PCW because you want to support

feminist space. Others because you like small, locally-owned businesses. Some because you live by the adage, If you want to know what you value, look at where you spend your money. Together, you have sustained a book-store, a meeting space, a gathering place, and for some, a lifeline.”

Rebecca Facey is among those who would be upset if the bookstore closed.

The co-founder and co-director of Independent Advocates, a local nonprofit that advocates in court for domestic violence victims, has been going to the shop since she was 15.

“As a young feminist in Toledo, it was a crucial spot that I knew existed in my community and to be able to go there and feel like there are a lot of other people in this community and in the world that share my feelings, that was really important for me,” Facey said.

Among the groups that regu-larly meet at People Called Women are Take Back the Night, a group dedicated to ending violence against women; Lavender Triangle Toledo, a social group for lesbians; and the local chapter of National Organization for Women, or NOW.

The shop also regularly hosts live music, book signings, poetry read-ings, book groups and other events.

Facey recalled coming to the shop in 2005 on a weekend in which three women were murdered in domestic violence-related incidents.

“I remember just showing up at the bookstore because I didn’t know where else to go,” Facey said. “I was just so upset, and all these other people were there, including one of the young women’s mothers.”

Out of that gathering came strong support for Shynerra’s Law, legislation later passed allowing juvenile courts to issue protection orders for minors in dating relationships. The bill was named after 17-year-old Shynerra Grant, who was shot and killed by a former boyfriend weeks after gradu-ating from Start High School.

“It was so wonderful just to have a place to show up immediately fol-lowing the death,” Facey said. “We were able to get support and to show

support to her family and have some-thing come out of it and make sure she didn’t die in vain. It was a very pow-erful experience. [The bookstore] has been part of some amazing progress in this community.”

About a year ago, People Called Women moved from its original loca-tion at Cricket West to 6060 Renais-sance Place, near the intersection of North Holland-Sylvania Road and West Sylvania Avenue.

“Some but not all customers have followed,” Mercurio said. “We’ve gotten some new people, but a lot of people are still figuring out that I moved.”

It’s not only women who frequent the store.

“Our feminist book group has a couple of men in it that come every

month and there’s actually a couple of men who are among my best cus-tomers,” Mercurio said.

Mercurio hopes everyone feels comfortable in the store.

“This is a come-as-you-are type of place,” Mercurio said. “I hope people go away excited about seeing books they didn’t know existed and feeling like there’s a public space where they can go and feel comfort-able being themselves.”

Although Mercurio is the store’s only employee, she credits a dozen dedicated volunteers for keeping the store running as long as it has.

Mercurio plans to reassess in the fall whether the store can stay open.

“We will see how things go, how our sale goes, how the book tables at community events we already have

planned go,” Mercurio said. “We’ll as-sess it again in October and we’ll see.”

Facey hopes the community can rally enough support to keep the bookstore from closing.

“It’s the last feminist bookstore in Ohio and we can’t lose it. It would just be such a tragedy,” Facey said. “Gina has been a hero to so many women. Providing a space for women to meet and feel safe is so important. I don’t know what I’ll do if it’s gone.”

People Called Women offers new, used and out-of-print books mainly by female authors as well as buttons, bumper stickers, T-shirts, pottery, handmade jewelry, notecards and other gift items. Store hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Are you ready to start today to build your per-

sonal brand (or your company’s brand) with content strategy? This effort begins by telling others what you’re most passionate about.

Does a business card or a resume or a brochure declare passion? Not even close. If you want to convince me as to what makes you unique, then tell me a story.

Build online content (storytelling video, blog posts, podcasts, e-books) that illustrates this. Remember that people are searching for answers to questions. Are you answering those questions or are you merely trying to guess popular keywords or earn page-views for your website?

Your content must be three things to

tell your brand’s story ef-fectively: friendly, honest and consistent in tone.

There are four tasks to building your per-sonal brand with online content. Research the best places to anchor your content, build con-tent hubs (a simple blog) to anchor your content, create unique, nimble

and usable content, and finally curate and share your ideas.

O Research: Introduce yourself online in social media, listen, ask ad-vice, and comment on others. Cali-brate the tone of your content by prac-ticing engagement.

O Build: Attract your tribe by commenting on the content of others. Note the usability of your content by asking yourself how you read and act on the content of others. Observe key-

words and Google search results to note how other people search.

O Anchor: Place your content on-line where people will find it. Build the right content hubs on Wordpress, Blogger, or Facebook. Become an active member of online groups and networks. Use analytics for benchmarks. Major blogging platforms offer free basic ana-

lytics. Facebook Insights and Hootsuite have analytics features as well.

O Create: Build different kinds of content for different people. Make your stories unique with background detail and anecdotes. Make your sto-ries quick and nimble. Remember that people are in a hurry to gain informa-tion. Make sure that it is usable info.

If others think so they’ll likely return. Are you ready to share your story?

What would you add to this list? O

The University of Toledo will add a female mascot to join “rocky” next year.

The new female mascot will debut with the announcement of its name on Aug. 31 at Music Fest 2011, a free music festival for students, alumni and community members before the home opening football game the following day against New Hampshire at the Glass Bowl.

“Most people think of mascots as related to sports teams and games, they really are a brand identity for the institution,” UT Vice President for external Affairs larry Burns said. “Following different professional teams and now some universities

more and more of them are having more than one mascot with one of them being a male version and one being a female version.”

UT is asking the community to help name the new mascot with a poll on its website. Among the op-tions are rachel, ricki, rochel, ro-chelle, rockelle and rocksy, as well as an option to write in a suggestion. A group made up of students and staff will be in charge of determining the name after analyzing the popular vote and write-in possibilities.

Burns heard the idea from the student currently performing as rocky and took it to Athletic di-rector Mike o’Brien and President lloyd Jacobs, who both signed off on the idea.

The International Boxing Club of Toledo (IBC) is about more than boxing. The free program, which offers 30 youths in Toledo a chance to learn to box, strives to educate children and pro-vide a fallback for when boxing ends.

“We have a very, very unique or-ganization,” said Harry Cummins, the executive director of IBC. “We’re one of a kind. We use boxing as a hook for bringing kids in.”

Children arrive at the IBC building, 1717 Adams st., at 4:15 p.m. and par-ticipate in a 15-minute team meeting where they are reminded that they are champions, Cummins said.

From 4:30-5:30 p.m., the kids par-ticipate in a mandatory homework session with tutors, who are often volunteers from the University of To-ledo’s honors college. Afterward, stu-dents who have passing grades in their classes are allowed to box. students who failed have to return to the class-room for additional tutoring.

Cummins said most of the parents do not participate in the children’s lives, although there are “a few good ones.” About 75 percent of the parents who bring kids into the IBC building are interested in the program but say their child does not need the educa-tion, he said.

He said most parents do not re-alize there is no money in professional boxing for most professionals.

Cummins said Bronco McKart, a professional boxer from Monroe who goes by the alias “superman,” spoke to the kids at IBC and told the children he wished he had gone to college.

“It’s sad. Unfortunately, that’s how it is in boxing. We’ve got a lot of bad role models,” he said. “The best role models are the kids already with us.”

The kids tell new participants the hardest part is opening the book, and once the children see improvement, they are hooked.

“We treat them all the same,” he said. “The main thing is getting them off the street. We want champions in life.”

during the summer when school is not in session, IBC offers students a reading club, a photography class and a project on how to start a business.

IBC applied to be Chicks for Chari-ty’s 2011-2012 charity recipient. When it was picked, Cummins said it was like a dream because it will help spread the word about education to the populace.

“They hear boxing club and think we’re promoting violence,” he said. “But we’re the opposite.”

IBC will be featured at Chicks for Charity’s Chicks Mix ’11 from 5:30-9 p.m. July 13 at the Toledo Botanical Garden, 5403 elmer drive. Cost of the event is $37 for adults and $20 for women younger than 21. All proceeds from Chicks Mix ’11 will benefit IBC.

shannon Minoske, the coordi-nator for Chicks Mix ’11, said the target fundraising goal — from tickets, raffles and the silent auctions — is about $40,000. last year’s Chicks Mix brought in more than $40,000 from about 600 chicks who attended and more than $100,000 in total funds for The Victory Center, she said. The Victory Center was Chicks for Char-ity’s 2009-2010 charity recipient.

Chicks Mix ’11 will be a casual event for women to mingle and do-nate, she said.

“It’s an amazing event to see all these women there laughing and having fun,” Minoske said.

she said Chicks for Charity picked IBC because of the academic and vo-cational programs that provided an alternative to drugs or violence.

“It’s about so much more than boxing,” Minoske said. O

Taylor Kia of Toledo is teaming with DNA Lifeprint to help keep chil-dren safe.

The car dealership on 6300 W. Central Ave. has partnered with renowned Detective Joe Mat-

thews to host a free event to give parents everything they need to help law enforcement agencies find their children if they ever were lost or abducted.

The event takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 16.

Among the items each parent will receive is an FBI-certified bio-metric 10-digit fingerprint pro-file, a high-resolution photograph of the child in full color, a ‘Child Safety Journal’ that provides law enforcement with the answers to 50 necessary questions after a child is missing and a home DNA identi-fication kit.

Parents keep every bit of informa-tion gathered and nothing is kept on file about participating children.

DNA Lifeprint was founded by Matthews, a former supervisor in charge of homicide for the Miami Beach Police Department.

The idea for the system came from the “Baby Lollipops” case he solved in 1990.

“In the ‘Baby Lollipops’ case there was a baby that was found dead, abused and tortured in the bushes and we weren’t able to identify it,” Matthews said.

The case was named ‘Baby Lolli-pops’ after the shirt the child, 3-year-old Lazaro Figueroa, was wearing. When he was later identified, Mat-thews helped prove that his mother, Ana Maria Cardona, as well as her girlfriend, Olivia Gonzalez, were responsible for his abuse and death. Cardona has spent the past 20 years on death row and was given a retrial last June, where she was again sen-tenced to death.

Gonzalez pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was re-leased on good behavior in 2008.

Because of the original difficul-ties the police had in identifying Figueroa, Matthews said he wanted to find a way to help law enforce-ment agencies more easily iden-tify children and their locations through DNA.

Matthews’ first step was to try and get a bill passed that could help pro-vide the DNA of children in social services.

“I tried to formulate a federal bill that would mandate the DNA of so-cial service children,” Matthews said. “We were unsuccessful but as a result of that I developed a home DNA in-formation kit.”

That kit started the beginning of DNA Lifeprint, in which Matthews

teamed up with “America’s Most Wanted” host John Walsh to promote the program.

“We did the best we could,” Mat-thews said. “John Walsh told me ‘You couldn’t get the federal gov-ernment to pass a bill, just do it on your own.’”

With that in mind, Matthews cre-ated the DNA Lifeprint program in 1996 and has distributed thousands of kits since.

Matthews first met Walsh in 1981 when Walsh’s son, Adam, had been kidnapped and murdered. After coming in to assist on the case numerous times over the next few de-cades, Walsh later asked Matthews in 2006 while he was working cold cases for “America’s Most Wanted” if he would solve his son’s murder.

“It was a very troubling case for so many years,” Matthews said. “It seemed like with each admin-istration I would be called back in but never had the opportunity to work the case like we would on Miami Beach.

“In 2006, John asked me if I would prove once and for all who killed their son. I worked the case for two years and nine months and beyond any doubt whatsoever I was able to prove, with actual evidence that was overlooked for 27 years, that Ottis Toole did murder Adam Walsh. The case is of-ficially closed.”

The new evidence included crime scene photos that Matthews said had never been developed, which proved Toole was the killer.

Matthews has teamed up with author Les Standiford to release “Bringing Adam Home,” which details the case of Adam Walsh. It made No. 1 on the Wall Street Journal best seller list and No. 22 in the New York Times.

The ‘Code Adam’ program, which was designed later on to help find lost children in department stores, was named in Adam Walsh’s memory. O

PUBLICATION DATES: Sunday, July 31 & August 7Call 419.241.1700 and inquire today!

Don’t miss out on these special sections targeting students and their parents as they prepare for the upcoming school year. We have so much content

and school news that one publication date is not enough to hold it.

According to the most recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) released by the U.S. Bureau of

Labor Statistics on June 15, the rate of inflation during the past 12 months has reached 3.6 percent. No matter where you look, the dollar just isn’t going as far as it used to.

We’re feeling the pinch everywhere, but it’s been the most painful with en-ergy. Energy is up by 21.5 percent, with gasoline up 36.9 percent in the past year, the highest figures since the record-breaking prices in 2008. Gas has been teetering at $100 a barrel, which not only sharply increases the costs of gasoline for your car, but crude increases can spill over into the rest of the economy as well. Pe-troleum, which is used in nearly every plastic product we produce and use, is especially prevalent in food packaging.

As a result, consumers are also seeing the same prices for smaller sizes of food products. Coupled with the fact that gas is used to transport food and other consumer goods, the rising price of petroleum is having, and will con-tinue to have, an impact on consumer pocketbooks.

The Obama administration an-nounced at the end of June that it would release 30 million barrels of oil from our Strategic Petroleum Re-serve, an effort to keep prices stable throughout the busy summer driving season. But is that enough?

Inflation is the rate at which the gen-eral level of prices for goods and services is rising and, subsequently, purchasing power is falling. As inflation rises, every dollar will buy a smaller percentage of a good. The most recent CPI figures show that inflation has been on the rise for the seventh straight month. The rate of inflation has increased from 1.6 per-cent in February, to 2.7 percent in April to 3.6 percent in May.

However, rising costs are just one of the reasons behind the dollar’s decline in value. As of May 16, the government hit the $14.294 trillion debt ceiling. In-stead of curbing spending, Washington will now borrow from other surpluses (including federal pensions) to fund government operations until August 2, which is the extended deadline for Con-gress to decide how to move forward with the looming national debt.

If they vote to raise the debt ceiling, it would allow the U.S. to borrow more money. However, by adding more bor-rowed dollars to the U.S. economy, the value of the dollar could be potentially driven down even further. If Congress

decides not to borrow more, the U.S. may run out of surplus money to borrow from and eventually default on some of its outstanding debts. This would not only potentially harm for-

eign investor relations, but also potentially drive down the value of the dollar even further.

So what can you do to make the most of your money now?

First, you must con-sider paying down any outstanding debt. If you have substantial loans or debt with variable rates,

it is important to consider paying them off or consolidating them, espe-cially during times of rising inflation. Not only will you be paying even more for those things you purchased in the past due to the decrease in value of the dollar, but interest rates may begin to increase with inflation as well.

Next, consider positioning your “safe” money in an asset that grows at least at the rate of inflation or higher. If you’re earning anything less than 3 percent per year, those assets may be costing you purchasing power! You may want to consider exploring other safer alternatives that can at least keep up with the Consumer Price Index.

Lastly, consider taking stock of your investments. Investments can still do well during inflationary periods if you’re invested in the right types of

businesses. Strategies to consider in-clude Exchange Traded Funds. ETFs on the commodity indexes can do well during inflationary periods. If we have inflation, the cost of commodi-ties will increase, making the price of a commodity linked ETF increase. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securi-ties are another vehicle to consider as they increase with inflation and de-crease with deflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index.

You need to make sure that a strategy or investment is right for you

before making any changes. But do what you can today to protect your purchasing power for tomorrow. Infla-tion is real and should not be ignored. It is especially important that you con-sult a qualified financial professional to help you decide which inflation pro-tection strategy may be right for you. O

After a few years away from the spotlight, multiplatinum Grammy Award-winning singer Josh Groban is coming directly to his fans with his “Straight To You Tour,” which comes through Michigan July 16 at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

Supporting his latest effort “Il-luminations,” which found Groban working with famed uber producer Rick Rubin (Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metal-lica and Johnny Cash), the 30-year-old operatic singer has upped the high-tech ante for his latest tour. Not only will the tenor belt out songs like “Oceano” and “Alla Luce,” but he’ll also take audience ques-tions via text messaging.

Toledo Free Press talked to Groban about the layover between albums, working with Rubin and what not to do if by chance you get face time with the singer at one of his concerts.

Toledo Free Press: Easily the biggest question fans have is what took you so long to release “Illumi-nations,” which is the follow-up to 2006’s “Awake.”

Josh Groban: A couple of things. I think anytime you work with a new producer there’s a little bit of a getting-

to-know-you period as far as what you want to accomplish together. That said, Rick Rubin takes a notoriously long time anyway, even with people he’s worked with forever. A lot of it I can just chalk up to his process. That’s one that takes a much longer time than I would have liked, to be honest, but I think most artists want to finish things as quickly as possible. With Rick, it’s one of those things where it’s just not done until it’s done.

TFP: Your press materials talk about how he actually gave you homework to write as many songs as possible. What was the feeling when you finally penned your single “Hidden Away?”

JG: It was very much a dam-bursting kind of a feeling. We didn’t make noise for a really long time. So he’ll have you fester with your own melody ideas and these bare-bones demos without ever kind of putting the paint on the canvas. By the time you really sit down and really dive into your songs, it’s a great kind of creative explosion. I think he knows deep down if you’re trying to get someone to write, that silence and keeping someone from that im-mediate gratification can be a very good thing.

TFP: Considering last year you ap-peared on “Glee,” who is your favorite character on the show?

JG: Well, one of my favorite char-acters I don’t think is really on the show anymore is Sandy Ryerson (por-trayed by actor Stephen Tobolowsky). He was kind of the creepy guy who had to stay 500 feet away from kids at all times. I served him a restraining order in my episode. Also just being able to see a cast of amazing musical theater actors. I grew up loving the-ater, so to see so many triple threats are getting pop culture exposure is personally really cool to see.

TFP: As far as the “Straight To You Tour,” what do you have in store?

JG: This is the most open with the fans I’ve ever been on a tour. I really bust down that fourth wall from the first moment. This is about sharing an experience that will only happen for one night only. Every night it’s totally different and so I love the unexpected. There’s a Q&A, walking through the crowd and fan interaction.

TFP: Finally, for those lucky few who you do interact with during the show, what are a few ground rules you want them to know about?

JG: I’d say keep it above the waist (laughs). Also, stealing the mic would be a bad one or dousing me with water or any other liquid would be a really bad idea. (With a Hanz and Franz voice) But my burley se-curity team will take swift action against anybody. O

We have too much stuff.When we moved into

our current house, I re-member thinking how nice it would be to have an extra 400 square feet. We had actually pared down our pos-sessions to a minimum in preparing our old house for sale, so I figured that moving a reasonable number of items for a 1,200 square foot house into a 1,600-square-foot house would leave plenty of breathing room for years to come. After three and a half years in our new home, however, we are al-ready feeling a bit claustrophobic.

This is no doubt cliché, but I don’t know where all of the stuff comes from. My husband and I took a vow of consumer celibacy in order for me to stay home with our children, and we reserve the purchasing of non-essential kid items almost exclusively for birthdays and major holidays. We have found, however, that generous gifts and limitless hand-me-downs can become as imposing and out-of-control as shopaholism.

Regardless of where it all comes from, it recently occurred to me how ridiculous it is to feel so strapped financially each month while simul-taneously feeling almost completely smothered by such a vast number of material possessions. The ridiculous-

ness had been veiled by a false sense of comfort that we are not alone; too little money and too much stuff seems to be the modern American way. As much as we attempt to justify it, a country where the poor are often obese and struggling families have more stuff than they know what to do with just doesn’t make much sense.

The recommended American cure for our “stuff ” problem seems to be making a move to a bigger house. Aside from the frightening real estate market, the problem is that I really don’t want a bigger house right now. Honestly, I was happy with the size of our 1,200-square-foot house and still miss it sometimes. I know it’s not the American way to say so, but I like that our kids have to share a bedroom and I don’t mind all that much that the five of us currently take turns using one stand-up shower. I also realize that 90 percent of the people on “House Hunters” “need” a master bathroom with double sinks, granite kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances and 4000 square feet, but we don’t.

We just need less stuff.

In fact, it is stuff that seems to detract from our family’s happiness more than anything else on a daily

basis. My husband and I have spent countless hours fending off our children as we attempt to create some sort of semblance out of the unreasonable amounts of toys, clothing, paper and other items we have somehow accu-mulated over the years. As much as it is the right thing to do, we

have found it hard to involve our chil-dren in the cleaning process. It’s hard to tell someone where something goes when you’re so overwhelmed that you’re not really sure yourself.

There are no doubt periods of time in a family’s life when you have to allow something to slide in order to get through the days. For us, like may others, that thing was our house. Once the material snowball is allowed to grow, however, it becomes harder and harder to reduce it to a manage-able size. Having three children with individual, ever-changing needs and interests, it also becomes difficult to know what, or even how, to let go of certain things.

I am a “what if ” thinker when it comes to our things. What if I get rid of the plastic ballet bar and my daughter finally takes an interest in dance? What if my son decides later that he actually does still like Pokemon? What if so-and-so won-ders what happened to the smoothie maker they gave us for Christmas? Still, I know deep down that what I should be wondering is, “What if I’m missing out on hours of enjoyable time with my family because I’m so busy trying to manage an unmanage-able number of inanimate objects, which we hardly use anyway?”

It is even more of a challenge for me to let go of the little reminders of

my children’s moments, moments I realize we will never experience in the same way ever again. It hurts to give up anything that feels like it was at one time a part of us. Still, as much as I want to hold onto even the smallest token representing what we once did and how we once were, I’ve learned that hanging on to too much takes away from where we are today and how far we can go tomorrow. There is definitely something to be said for continually leaving enough breathing room for the years still to come. O

Perrysburg resident Diane France was selected as the Ohio Federation of Mothers of Twins Club’s (OF-MOTC) Mother of the Year on June 25 in Dayton.

France was one of 13 nominated for the honor through clubs throughout

the state after she received local honors for the Toledo area in December.

“I am honored to be chosen as the Ohio Mother of the Year,” France said. “Certainly all the other ladies were de-serving mothers too. I was happy to win but then on the other hand I felt

bad that the other moms couldn’t win.”France and her husband of 14

years, Steve, have 9-year-old trip-lets. Macy and Melissa are their two daughters and Michael their lone son.

“Anyone who has had the opportu-nity to get to know Diane knows that

she is a very caring and thoughtful person who thinks of others be-fore herself,” President of the Toledo Mothers of Twins Club Julie Overy said. “She is such a valuable person to be in our club.”

France attributed her success, which translated to her ‘Mother of the Year’ award, to her mother. Dorothy Carp raised France as a single mom after the death of France’s father when she was 3 years old.

“My mom really taught me to be a mother as a single mom,” France said. “I learned in life that what matters most is family, your time and being generous and looking out for other people. It’s not about how much money is in your bank account, it’s about the people that you have in your own life. I’ve lived by that with my own children and I hope I’ve instilled that in them.”

With those early lessons, France

has said that she’s already seen the benefits with her children, even at an early age.

“I’ve tried to involve them in a lot of the char-ity-type things that we do and I have the kids get involved now that the are older,” France said. “It’s good because I know they look out for other people. They will come home and say, ‘Mommy, can we do this?’ and it warms my heart to know my children think of other people too.”

France was originally an oncology nurse before she gave birth to the trip-lets. She left her job to become a stay-at-home mother soon after. O
