Predatory pricing
O
ne of the sad bastardizations of capitalism is predatory pricing. Yes, competitive pricing is a clear benefit to consumers, but when taken to an abusive extreme, the practice is a cudgel used to thwart the open market and harm smaller businesses. I was heartened to see that Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Rob Portman (R-OH) have asked President Barack Obama to protect employment at Appleton Papers, Inc. in West Carrollton, Ohio. According to a news release, “Brown and Portman led a bipartisan group of eight senators and representatives in calling on the U.S. Department of Commerce to impose duties on a foreign paper producer. A preliminary investigation shows that the company manipulated data to avoid paying antidumping duties, hurting domestic manuThomas F. Pounds facturing at companies like Appleton, Inc.” According to the Commerce Department, German exporter Papierfabrik August Koehler AG and Koehler America Inc. — known as Koehler — “sold its merchandise at a less than normal value and had deliberately manipulated data to avoid paying antidumping duties for imports on lightweight thermal paper.” “We cannot allow foreign companies to get away with predatory pricing that undermines our economic growth and shutters our factories,” Brown said. “Dumping allows foreign paper companies to undersell U.S. companies, including Appleton Papers. As a result, manufacturing workers have lost jobs and communities have been forced to deal with plant closures. I commend the Commerce Department on the work they’ve done so far to curb unfair trading practices and urge them to continue protecting American jobs by imposing duties on Koehler paper sold in the United States.” “American workers, like those in West Carrollton, can compete and win on a level playing field. However, when foreign competitors don’t play by the rules, we must stand up to ensure fair competition and enforcement of the laws on the books,” Portman said. “In 2011, I worked with my colleagues to protect Appleton’s workers from unfair imports and was successful in getting the administration to reverse their position. Ohio manufacturers like Appleton need our continued support and I urge the Commerce Department to strongly support their case.” Those businesses that engage in predatory pricing should be held fully accountable and punished to the fullest extent of applicable laws. There are many examples in our media industry of those who have rigged their pricing to unfairly hurt competitors, and who have paid dearly for it when their actions were exposed. Thanks to our Ohio senators for making this an issue and for fighting for businesses that are being battered by an un-American practice. O Thomas F.

n MILLER CONTINUED FROM A3 “Seussical The Musical” mashes together dozens of Dr. Seuss characters, including The Cat In The Hat, Yertle The Turtle and The Grinch, with passing mentions of The Lorax, The Sneeches and many others. Its story and songs focus on two characters, Horton the Elephant and JoJo, melding two Horton stories, “Horton Hatches The Egg” and “Horton Hears A Who.” The main message is the importance of individuality and the danger in conforming to societal pressure. Horton braves ridicule and bullying to maintain his loyalty to his friends. JoJo’s independent thinking gets him in trouble at school and causes strife at home, and his refusal to blindly march in line at military school results in his parents believing he is lost in The Butter Battle. So, to recap, the play celebrates and encourages those who refuse to blend in with the crowd and who instead choose to assert their individuality. You know where this is going, don’t you? The March 22 performance was played to a full house. It was a remarkable production (directed by Jamie Buechele and produced by Molly Rice), with a $15,000 budget, a 40-member cast and professional sets, costumes and choreography. It was an ambitious, complex and full production with 40 songs and a live orchestra. Standouts in the cast included Jake Ringer as Horton, Bryan Gilbey as The Cat In The Hat, Becca Nowak as the Sour Kangaroo (who performed her entire role carrying little Brenna Davis as the Young Kangaroo on her back) and the amazing Evan Pollet, a second-grader who carried the show with countless lines, songs and choreography. The production featured elements of ballet, circus acrobatics, black-light jazz hands and myriad musical styles. Of course, none of the spectacle was as anticipated by me as my son’s several stage appearances. During his first time onstage, standing with about a dozen Whos, Evan spotted his family in the audience and timidly waved, drawing laughter from the audience and looks of consternation form some of the teenage Whos in his row. During an interlude in which several small Whos played very Seussian musical instruments, the Whos on the balcony above stood still and watched the band. All the Whos except our Evan, who danced up a storm as the spirited music played. Now, during this brief minute or two, no actors were singing or speaking. It was just several Whos pretending to play Jing Tinglers, Flu Floopers, Tar Tinkers and Who Hoovers. As Evan danced, drawing laughter from some audience members, the teen Who behind him placed her hand on his shoulder and tried to still him. Evan wiggled away and continued channeling James Brown. It wasn’t obnoxious or wild, but as he was the only one not standing still, it drew attention to him. He continued tripping the light fantastic until the matriarchal teen Who physically pulled him back into line and forced him to stand still. That drew murmurs of disappointment from several people around me, but the scene soon ended.
From my seat in the audience, I marveled at the irony that in a play celebrating individuality and the refusal to conform, our son was being reined in and forced to abandon his individuality in the name of conformity. Evan later cavorted in a full fish costume, without incident, then later marched in line with several boys in military garb. Except, rather than marching, he skipped, and when called upon to perform calisthenics, dropped into a push-up stance but proceeded to wildly kick his feet as if carrying out a crazed series of hyperkinetic bear crawls. During the play’s climax, as the Whos jump and shout “We are here! We are here!” to prove their existence and save their world, Evan yelled and jumped as high as he could. For the finale, as the entire cast rocked out to “Green Eggs and Ham,” Evan’s little legs and feet were a blur of musical celebration. In other words, every time Evan appeared on stage, he had fun. Which is what it’s all about, right? After the play, he excitedly asked if we had seen his “bonus moves,” a phrase he picked up from the Wii game “Just Dance.” I was never backstage during the production, but I know the director told Evan he was fine and that the parental teen Whos would leave him alone. But the message to chill out got through, and when Evan took the stage on the next night, there was no waving, no dancing, no bonus moves. He was just another little boy standing in line, behaving. It saddened me to see him not enjoying himself (to be fair, a runny nose and six consecutive nights of ignored bedtimes did not help his attitude). He was going through the motions, clearly unhappy to be caged. I wanted to yell up at him to dance and have fun, but of course, as a well behaving and conforming member of society, I did not. But during the finale, as the cast cut loose, Evan’s attitude returned. He shuffled away from the Who who had acted like a teacher from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” and danced his little shoes off, twisting and singing and rocking out. The Whos around him, finally catching on, danced as well, joining him in a chaotic, bouncing, nonconforming line. I was the first to rise from my seat and start the standing ovation. I don’t want Evan to draw undue attention to himself when it’s not appropriate and I certainly do not want him to be a troublemaker. But I do want him to understand that standing still and falling in line are not always the same thing as behaving. I want his spirit to burn bright and lead the way, not get lost in a long line of followers. I can tell him from experience that there is a price to pay for following your hunches and standing up for yourself, but I can also tell him from experience that when you do … oh, the places you’ll go.

MAKE NO LITTLE PLANS
College is the vehicle — or chauffeur
“The future is already here — it’s just not very evenly distributed.” — William Gibson
A
friend of mine recently had some vacation time to spend. Knowing it was coming up, it didn’t cross my mind to ask how he was getting to his chosen destination. I only cared where he was going. Was he going somewhere with a beach? Maybe he was going to tour Washington, D.C.’s museums, or maybe go someplace where they speak the Romance languages. The means of transportation were mildly above insignificant. Until about six or seven years ago, a college degree was your nearguaranteed ticket to the life you always wanted. By collecting abbreviations after your name, the value you could provide and the reward you got in return, only increased. If you had a bachelors degree and didn’t have a job, you probably didn’t want one. If you had a master’s de-
gree and weren’t working, you were I wanted him to enjoy the fruits of probably weighing several lucrative his labor. This is why I look sideways offers.

We cause students to beI find these inquiries quite odd. Like lieve that a post-secondary degree is my friend who was set for a vacation, the only way. When traveling, I can his mode of transportation really take a car, a plane or a train. Might didn’t matter to me. I wanted to live even walk. Getting to my dream has vicariously through his enjoyment of options also. College, while a major the resort he’d attend. I wanted him option, is still just that. One option. There is a major democratization to have a fantastic time and do what he’d greatly looked forward to for under way in our world that has already quite a while. He’d worked hard, and shaken our educational system to its core. While we’re bracing for a huge shift in education, we’ve yet to realize that it’s already happened. The effects of this shift are just coming to the surface. College enrollment peaked in 2008 just after the financial crisis landed a swift roundhouse kick to the jaw of the world’s economy. Community colleges and technical schools spilled over with anxiety-laden 19and 22-year-olds wandering in delirium from whatever the heck happened to their hopes and dreams, now lying shattered in a sea of debt crises, broken housing markets and plummeting job potential. That trend of fresh meat in the lecture hall has only
reversed, however, and by current estimates, may never again be matched. Between 2000-10, the cost of college increased between 4 to 9 percent annually. During this same period, Internet penetration in North America increased 153 percent. There’s no doubt that the Internet loves to revolutionize industries and turn traditions on their heads mercilessly. It’s revolutionize alongside or get steamrolled. Information inherently wants to be free. Data wants to be known. Historically, sharing knowledge meant putting a message in a bottle. Today, it means broadcasting to the entire planet with just a few keystrokes, and for free. How do universities respond? There are plenty of theories, and I even have my own. How has the Internet responded? It’s responded with Coursera, Khan Academy, iTunesU, OpenCourseWare, Udemy, SkillShare and Udacity. These are all domains where anyone resting inside the troposphere can learn any skill from the world’s best teachers, as well as professors from MIT, Harvard, Stanford or my local college’s teaching roster, for free or maybe a crisp $20. Newsweek stopped printing paper copies last year and found an amazing cover story worthy to grace one of its final hard copies. The title, “Is College A Lousy Investment?” They’re not the only one publishing stories with these provocative headlines. Forbes, TIME and USA Today have all done major stories on this same topic in the past year. So, is college still worth it? Yes. But the way we’re doing it won’t work, and obviously hasn’t worked in quite some time. Nobody with a lick of common sense
is debating the value of knowledge, only the return on investment in college sheepskin. For the degree to maintain any value moving forward, major changes in how we structure these programs are necessary. Forty percent of students picking schools purely based on the football team or the super-scientific “girls’ hotness factor” ain’t gonna cut it. Neither of which is worth racking up $10,000$25,000 a year in debt. The best thing we can do for our young people is inspire a joy of learning. Not institutional learning or segmented learning. But learning and curiosity as a permanent state. I’ll write more on this particular thought later, but we have to stop pursuing educational experiences based on future job prospects. The future belongs to people who can make a way where there traditionally hasn’t been one. College will always be with us, just as it should be. But we’re being forced to rethink what it means and how we do it. It’s important that we’re clear that college is an enabler. A key. An automobile. To position it as the destination is to stunt true development and creativity. Instead of asking, with odd suspense, if little Billy is going to college, ask him what he plans to do with his life, then ask him how he’s going to get there. To respond, he’ll at least be forced to think — and that’s more than asking what school he’s going to could ever hope to do.

CRIME AND SAFETY
By Brigitta Burks
Toledo Free Press News Editor bburks@toledofreepress.com
More than 6 million people are stalked per year in the United States, according to the Stalking Resource Center. One of those people was Kaitlin Gerber, who was shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend Jashua Perz on March 24. While driving, Gerber, 20, called police to report that Perz was shooting at her from his car. He murdered her in the parking lot of Southland Shopping Center and GERBER later committed suicide in his home after a standoff with police. Perz had previous trouble with the law, including an incident where he kidnapped and assaulted Gerber for more than four hours in September. Lucas County Prosecutor Julia Bates said, “What everyone is doing is looking at everything that happened because this was such a terrible thing. It happened right under our noses on a Sunday morning.” She later added, “I don’t know how we help people who are stalked other than tell them we’ll do everything we can, but sometimes everything we can do isn’t enough.”
Rebecca Facey, a local advocate for domestic violence victims, said Gerber is an example of someone who did everything “right” when it came to protecting herself. “This is an example of a woman who uprooted her entire life, moved, changed her number, relocated, did everything that even the most extreme cases weren’t doing and it wasn’t enough,” Facey said. “The typical response is usually to criticize the woman. You know, ‘Why didn’t she protect herself? Why didn’t she get away? Why didn’t she protect the children?’ This is an example of a woman who did everything she could. She went to multiple courts. She got her protection order. She called the police as this was happening. She left her family’s home to protect them because she knew he was after her.”
‘Did all she could’
Laura Gerhardinger, a friend of Gerber’s, agreed. “It is clear that Kaitlin did all she could legally to protect herself, but in the end it wasn’t enough,” she wrote in an email. Facey stressed that the one to blame is the perpetrator. “The issue is Perz. ... He was the one acting out in incredibly illegal and unbelievable ways and he’s the one we can control as a society. He’s the one breaking laws we put in place.” In Ohio, menacing by stalking is
a misdemeanor of the first degree. That can be bumped up to a felony of the fourth degree if certain criteria, like previous offenses or stalking a minor, are met. Michelle Garcia, director of the Stalking Resource Center, said her organization published a model code for states on dealing with stalking in 2007. “Our recommendation is that it should minimally be a felony,” she said, adding that stalking has only been considered a crime for about 20 years in most areas. “When we look at how our system responds to it, we are still playing catch-up,” she said, stressing that the law is just the first step in dealing with stopping stalking in our society. Teaching schoolchildren about dating violence is another way to curb future incidents, Garcia and Bates said. “If we start doing healthy relationship education in an ageappropriate way starting very early in schools, we could see a decrease of things like stalking,” Garcia said, adding that there also needs to be a change in the way stalking is portrayed in popular culture. “Most often stalking is portrayed as being romantic or a joke or minimized in a number of ways.”
Need for training
Facey also said there needs to be a move toward educating people, noting, “It is about not focusing entirely on girls not being victims, but

focusing on boys not being abusers.” “It’s those awful texts, ‘Where are you? What are you doing? Who are you with? Why didn’t you call me?’ And that’s the stuff we need to be teaching young people — that it’s none of your f****** business and she’ll call you when she’s ready.” Facey and Garcia both said stalking can take several different forms, but it is often between ex-partners. According to the Stalking Resource Center, one in six women and one in
19 men have experienced stalking victimization. Sixty-six percent of female victims and 41 percent of male victims were stalked by a current or former intimate partner. Garcia emphasized a need for training for those who respond to stalking. “There has to be this ongoing training [for responders to stalking] and that tends to be one area that’s lacking,” she said. n STALKING CONTINUES ON A7

community n STALKERS CONTINUED FROM A6 Sgt. Joe Heffernan, public information officer for the Toledo Police Department, said training updates on dealing with domestic violence are often included in the continuing education required for all Toledo officers. When asked when is it time to call in law enforcement, he said, “Anytime you feel threatened, you can make a police report and you can request to have a protection order.” An officer can attach a request for a protection order to an affidavit when responding to an incident if he or she feels it’s necessary. “So if the person has been arrested then the judge on the spot will determine if the protection order is warranted or not,” he said. Otherwise, a victim can speak to a police officer to file a report, which can then be taken to the prosecutor’s office, Heffernan said. The prosecutor’s office can then decide whether to file criminal charges and also potentially issue a protective order. If a person violates a protective order, it’s an automatic arrest, Heffernan said. However, the first violation of a protection order is a misdemeanor. The second is a felony, Bates said. Garcia said, “[Protection orders] are absolutely one tool that are available to victims and in most cases, they’re not a complete answer.”
Most dangerous time
The most dangerous time for a domestic violence or stalking victim is once he or she has broken off the relationship and filed for protection, Heffernan said. However, he added, “It’s still often times a very necessary step.” He advocated planning ahead with someone who is trained to deal

with domestic violence victims like police, the Victims/Witness Assistance program or the YWCA. He also recommended watching for warning signs like anger issues in the beginning of a relationship. Documenting stalking incidents is also crucial to building a case, Garcia said. There is a PDF for logging incidents available at www.victimsofcrime.org/ our-programs/stalking-resource-center. Safe intervention by bystanders is also crucial, she and Bates said. Garcia also said it’s become rare to hear about a stalking case that doesn’t involve technology. Facey said that society shouldn’t restrict what young women can or can’t do online, but rather needs to educate perpetrators about proper use of technology. “Why is it ‘Girls, don’t do that,’ instead of, ‘Boys, don’t spend all Saturday creeping your ex-girlfriend’s Facebook page and then getting ideas of where to ambush her?’” Facey recommended that the Toledo Municipal Court start a dedicated docket for domestic violence cases. “[Perz] is a guy who’s literally seen every single judge in Toledo Municipal Court. What a benefit if we had one concentrated system looking at this particular person and saying, ‘You’re a really high risk.’” Facey added, “On your first offense, for whatever the crime, you’re generally treated more leniently by the court, but I think in terms of domestic violence, we need the exact opposite response.” Bates said more specialization by the justice system and law enforcement would be a positive thing, but that funds are limited.
Need for evidence
n A7
There were nearly 1,600 domestic violence cases seen by Toledo Municipal Court in 2011, according to a report released in May 2012 by Independent Advocates, a group on hiatus that Facey ran. Of those cases, 79 percent were dismissed or reduced to lesser charges. “Homicide is a very real possibility when dealing with all domestic violence cases regardless of whether they’re misdemeanor cases or not. … [The cases] come into our lowest courts and get shuffled around and dismissed like crazy and amended beyond belief,” Facey said. Heffernan said that last year, domestic violence was the No. 1 driver of homicides. Bates said victims are often reluctant to go forward with prosecution and if there isn’t additional evidence, this can make prosecution difficult. “If we don’t have [evidence] and we have a victim who is unwilling or reluctant to testify, it really does tie our hands,” she said, adding that a lack of evidence is another reason charges can be reduced. Even if stalking doesn’t end in violence, it can have other effects, Facey and Garcia said. “We can recognize a text saying, ‘I’m going to kill you if you don’t A, B, C or D’ is a terrible, horrifying thing, but a text saying, ‘Where are you? Who are you with? What are you doing?’ may not seem as threatening, but I think they’re ultimately going for the same goal, which is control,” Facey said. Gerhardinger, who sang in a praise band with Gerber remembered her as an “altogether a wonderful friend.” “I’ve noticed in college, that almost everyone is or knows someone affected by these crimes. It sticks to you and becomes close to the heart.” O

EDUCATION
TPS board to interview 3 interim superintendent candidates By John P. McCartney
Toledo Free Press Staff Writer jpmccartney@toledofreepress.com
Following a 76-minute executive session March 27, the Toledo Public Schools (TPS) Board of Education (BOE) quickly informed the public that it intended to interview three of the five candidates for TPS’ interim superintendent position. Brenda Hill, BOE president, said the board intends to interview Dr. Romules Durant, TPS’ assistant superintendent of the Bowsher, Scott and Waite Learning Communities; Douglas Heuer, superintendent of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District; and Dr. Michael Zalar, superintendent of the Oregon City School District. The BOE left executive session at 6:17 p.m., and within 92 seconds, it had voted on two motions and closed the meeting. Hill made a motion to interview three candidates, but before she had named Durant, Heuer and Zalar as those three candidates, a different BOE member seconded and a third member called for a vote on Hill’s unfinished motion. After the 5-0 was recorded by Treasurer Matt Cleland, Hill began a motion to close the meeting. Before Hill finished her second motion, two other board members seconded and called for a vote on the unfinished motion. Hill would not say whether board members took a vote in executive session. “My legal counsel has told me that I am not required to talk about anything that happens in executive session,” she said. Keith Wilkowski, TPS’ legal counsel, dismissed the suggestion that the speed with which the board conducted public business was either illegal or inappropriate. Wilkowski, who did not attend the meeting, said “From what you say happened, they did everything in line with the public meetings law.” Wilkowski said board members “may or may not discuss” the opinions they express in executive session, and BOE members are not “legally required to express their opinions about any of the candidates. They have to take actions in public, and they did that. They acted completely appropriately in terms of the Open Meetings Law [Ohio Revised Code 121.22(H)].”
Top priorities
Prior to the board meeting, Hill did say she considered test scores and a candidate’s communication skills as
her top priorities. “No. 1, we need to have our scores “And I would go up,” Hill said. personally like to have someone who has confidence, and people have confidence in them and their abilities. I want someone who is definitely child-centered and achievement-centered, someone who is very easily communicated with and is approachable so that our citizens aren’t afraid of them or standoffish.” Hill said she wants an interim superintendent who can “really talk” to Toledo’s citizens, children, teachers, staff, businesses and government officials. “Now, governments are interconnected, especially the way the economy is. We have to have good communication with all of them.” Hill said she would like the board to interview the three candidates in the first week of April “so that we can make the decision as quickly as possible.” She said the board would also need to discuss when the interim superintendent’s contract would begin. Outgoing Superintendent Jerome Pecko’s contract ends July 31. “Possibly, they could start earlier and maybe get mentored,” Hill said. “We have to discuss it. It would be hard just to come and just step in, like he leaves today and you step in tomorrow. You don’t even know where the paper clips are. It would be good to have a transition time so that the transition would be smooth.”
Renovation projects
At its March 26 monthly business meeting, the TPS BOE: O voted 5-0 to increase the amount spent on the Arlington Elementary renovation project from “not to exceed $1.5 million to not to exceed $1.8 million” to allow for the addition of six instead of four classrooms and related storage space. Discussion leading to the unanimous vote focused on how Arlington Elementary, which was not designed to accommodate the seventh and eighth-grade students who now attend the school, lacks adequate art, computer lab, science laboratory and related storage space. Cecelia Adams, BOE vice president, was adamant that “there needs to be space so teachers can do real science, real laboratory experiments.” Hill suggested the BOE may need to put a levy on the ballot to add science labs and the related space to K-8 schools originally designed for K-6 grade students. O The board also voted 5-0 to adopt BOE member Lisa Sobecki’s walk-in resolution to increase the

RELIGION
Speaker: Religious liberty ‘vital and vulnerable’ By David Yonke
EDITOR, TOLEDOFAVS.COM David.Yonke@ReligionNews.com
“To say this is not to say or claim that America is or was or should be a ‘Christian nation,’” he added. “It’s just to observe that our Constitution was not designed to displace or defeat religion, or to displace faith with state worship. Its aim instead was to build a stable, enduring political community that would be stronger precisely because it recognized that religious freedom is foundational.” The First Amendment’s legal structure allows the flourishing of what Pope Benedict XVI referred to with admiration as America’s “healthy secularity,” Garnett said, adding that it is human nature to be both political and religious and “nothing in the text, history or structure of the Constitutions requires us to deny this.”
The religious freedom protections included in the Constitution were not “accidents” or “aberrations,” Garnett said, but designed to safeguard and support religion “so it can flourish” and “to protect everyone, believers and nonbelievers alike, against coercion on religious matters.” He suggested there are three approaches toward religious liberty: O “Freedom from religion,” which considers religion “as a social reality but regards it as somewhat of a danger to the common good.” O “Freedom of religion,” emphasizing toleration and neutrality, and treating religion as “something that matters to many people and so the law should not single it out for special discrimination or hostility.”
O “Freedom for religion,” an approach Garnett said is most consistent with the vision of the Founding Fathers and American ideals. “According to this approach, the search for religious truth is acknowledged as an important human activity. It’s willing to say that religion is special — so special that the government ought not to interfere with it or direct it.” Describing religious liberty as “robust but incomplete,” Garnett urged Americans to be “proud but also vigilant.” O
From the writings of the Founding Fathers to headlines in the news today, religious liberty has long been a “vital and vulnerable” concept in the American experiment, according to Richard W. Garnett. A professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame known for his expertise on the First Amendment, Garnett spoke on “Challenges to Religious Freedom in America Today” at David Yonke is the editor and community the University of Toledo on March 26. manager of Toledo Faith & Values (ToGarnett, whose latest book, “Two ledoFAVS.com), a website that provides There Are: Understanding the Sepanonsectarian news coverage of religion, ration of Church and State,” will be faith and spirituality in the Toledo area. published by Cambridge University GARNETT Press, said he believes that religious freedom, including the freedom to reject religion, “is a human right grounded in dignity and essential for human flourishing.” Mark your calendars!

CHILD WELFARE
Local agency plans several events to mark Child Abuse Prevention Month By Sarah Ottney
TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com
A baby boy later named Alex Michael Cervantes was a few days old when he was submerged in water and strangled, his body left in a freezer when his parents moved out of their East Toledo rental. Two-month-old Kalib Henderson and 6-month-old Noland Letellier died after being shaken while 6-month-old Avery Glynn Bacon was allegedly thrown against a hard surface, causing the skull fractures that killed him. One-year-old Ke’Ondra Hooks was struck in the head by a stray bullet, killed by street violence while sleeping on the floor of her family’s Moody Manor apartment. Siblings Paige Hayes, 10, Logan Hayes, 7, and Madalyn Hayes, 5, were killed by their grandmother and uncle in a murder-suicide using carbon monoxide inside a vehicle in a West Toledo garage. Five-month-old Ella Thomas drowned in a bathtub and 4-year-old Taevion Maulsby died of smoke inhalation from a fire started by playing with matches in the Old South End. These 10 Lucas County children will be remembered at a memorial set for 11:30 a.m. April 19 at Lucas County Children Services (LCCS), 705 Adams St. The annual ceremony remembers those younger than 18 who died of abuse, neglect or street violence during the past year. LCCS Executive Director Dean Sparks said 10 children is the most to be memorialized in one year since the agency started doing memorials about a dozen years ago. In 2011, three Lucas County teens were killed as the result of street violence and none died of abuse or neglect.
‘Profoundly somber’
“It’s sad,” Sparks said. “It is profoundly somber for all of us. We do what we do because we want to protect kids. That’s our mission in life. We think it’s important to take the time to stop and remember and to commit ourselves anew to doing everything we can to prevent child abuse. Those 10 deaths were absolutely preventable.” April is national Child Abuse Pre-
vention Month and April 10 is Ohio’s second annual Wear Blue Day. “People need to know they are not alone in caring for kids,” said LCCS Public Information Officer Julie Malkin. “It’s simply getting the word out that it’s important to be passionate about this.” LCCS Assessment Manager Cary Brown said she hopes seeing widespread community support might encourage someone to report suspected SPARKS abuse or neglect. The agency’s hotline, (419) 213CARE (2273), is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Reports can be left anonymously. “If I see my cubicle mate doing it and a neighbor doing it, I might be the one to make that report and intervene before a child is seriously hurt because I know there are other people in the community who care,” Brown said. Sparks said many people don’t report suspicions because they convince themselves the adult won’t really hurt the child or they feel it’s none of their business. “People have a hard time imagining anyone harming their children, especially if it’s someone in their family or their neighborhood, but if you have a suspicion, call us or call local law enforcement,” Sparks said. “It’s better to call and it not be right than for a child to be harmed.” Brown agreed, noting that LCCS had little or no prior involvement with the families of the 10 children killed. “That fact reminds me that we depend on families, neighbors, community members and professionals to tell us these things are happening. Someone has to call and tell us,” Brown said. “I would err on the side of caution, err on the side of safety for that child.” In 2012, LCCS received 4,959 referrals involving 7,347 children. Investigations determined 822 were abused or neglected, a 40 percent increase over 2011, according to the agency’s annual report. Forty-nine percent of investigations were for alleged physical abuse, 36 percent for neglect, 13 percent for sexual abuse and 2 percent for emotional abuse.
The highest rate of referral (referrals per 1,000 child residents) was in the 43604 ZIP code, followed by 43605 and 43608. The highest number of referrals came from the 43605 ZIP code followed by 43609. “Some parts of our community have more resources than others, both financially and service-wise, where you would have a better ability to get help without coming to the attention of our system,” Brown said. “There’s probably areas of the community that think it doesn’t happen here, that it only happens in the central city. But drugs, alcohol and physical violence is not just in the central city; it happens everywhere.” Of new cases opened in 2012, 40 percent of families were white, 32 percent were African-American and 25 percent were multiracial, according to the report. Almost a third of the children (29 percent) remained in the home while issues were worked through, a third (34 percent) stayed with relatives and nearly a third (27 percent) went to foster homes, Malkin said. Twenty-four percent of referrals
came from social services, 24 percent from relatives, friends or neighbors, 16 percent from law enforcement, 15 percent anonymously, 13 percent from schools and 5 percent from medical personnel. One area Brown said LCCS has been seeing an increase is with children affected by heroin addiction, whether through parental drug use or children born addicted to the drug or the prescription treatment drug methadone. From September 2012 to March 2013, 48 children were removed from Lucas County homes because of heroin use, including 15 infants who were born addicted and must stay in the hospital for up to a month to be weaned off the drug. Mental health issues is another area seeing an increase, Brown said. Families involved with LCCS aren’t necessarily “bad people,” Brown said. “Most of the families we see really love their kids and want to be able to take care of them; most of our parents want to be good parents, but life circumstances are such that they can’t do it without resources that we can give them at this point in time,” Brown said.
Brown said the rewards of her job outweigh the stress and heartbreak. “People say, ‘Oh I couldn’t do what you do,’ but the ability to make a difference has really gotten me through all these years,” Brown said. “We have the ability on a daily basis to make a difference in children’s lives. I’ve been doing this 25 years and I still feel that as I come to work every day.” LCCS’ website, lucaskids.net, offers tips for recognizing child abuse or neglect and information about becoming a foster parent. LCCS is encouraging people wearing blue April 10 to post photos on the agency’s Facebook page, tweet photos to @LucasCoOHKids or email photos to information@co.lucas.oh.us. “Every year 1,700 kids die in the U.S. from child abuse or neglect. That’s epidemic stuff,” Sparks said. “All of us who are going to be putting on blue are saying we are going to be doing everything we can to prevent child abuse in our community. We want all of Lucas County and Ohio to be blue that day. We’re all going to stand united on behalf of kids.” O

A knitting group from Sandy Hook in Newtown, Conn., has contributed to the sea of blue planned for Toledo. In support of Lucas County Children Services’ (LCCS) Wear Blue Day, a day bringing awareness to child abuse, a Toledo “yarnbomber” with a secret identity will decorate the streets with blue. Known by the moniker “Streetspun Yarnbomber,” the local artist enlisted the help of fellow yarnbombers all over the world. At press time, she was expecting yarn bombs from five European countries, including Germany and Sweden, and several other U.S. states. Yarnbombs are knitted sleeves that can often be found around lampposts, parking meters and bike racks. During the week of Wear Blue Day, which is April 10, Streetspun will install the blue yarnbombs outside the LCCS building on Adams Street. They will remain up at least until the agency’s annual memorial on April 19. The Cosmic Knittas from Sandy Hook in Newtown Conn., site of the December school shooting in which 26 students and adults were killed, was one of the groups to send a yarnbomb. A handwritten card that came with the piece read: “We know all too well that we need to protect our children and applaud your efforts for Wear Blue Day. We are graffiti knitters from Sandy Hook who are working on our own event but want to support yours too.” LCCS Public Information Officer Julie Malkin communicated with Streetspun via email. “It’s a great artistic way to show that people really care about kids,” Malkin said. “It’s particularly touching to have

something coming from Sandy Hook where there was so much sadness.” Streetspun said she loved the gesture from the Cosmic Knittas. “For me, it really goes to show that we all can come together, be peaceful and love one another,” Streetspun said via email. “I know that we cannot solve the world’s problems with [yarnbombs] but it is one way to make you smile and give you that warm fuzzy feeling.” This form of graffiti is an act of good intentions, Streetspun said. “They are all made with love and are meant to be a happy gesture to make things brighter and to simply make you smile,” she said. Streetspun picked up the hobby on the first International Yarnbombing Day, June 11, 2011. Immediately, she knew she was hooked. When she was contacted by LCCS to make yarn bombs, she couldn’t refuse. “When your city asks for [yarnbombs] how can you say no?” Streetspun said. “When you are making a

statement like standing up against child abuse and domestic violence it is without a doubt very near and dear to my heart.” After Wear Blue Day, Streetspun wants to donate the yarnbombs to an organization. “Wherever they end up it will surely be a reminder of hope that there is so much love out in the world especially when it comes to our children,” she said.
Artomatic 419!
Artomatic 419! also plans to support the day of awareness. LCCS joined forces with Artomatic 419!, which issued an open call for artists to submit art for a “Blue Room” piece. Two local artists, Louis Wilson and Kelly O’Brien, will create blue artwork for the local arts showcase set for 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. April 13, 20 and 27. The pieces will be set up at 911 Summit St., with Wilson’s on the first floor and O’Brien’s on the second.
“We appreciate the value of freedom of expression,” Malkin said. “Child abuse is a very sad and unfortunate thing and for people to express themselves artistically to show their feelings about this very serious subject is terrific.” Wilson wants to help people understand the effects of child abuse with his wall-hanging, mixed media piece. “I’ve seen the adverse effects on families and children from child abuse,” Wilson said. “[My piece is] meant for people to draw their own direction toward child abuse and the anguish that it brings.” O’Brien wanted to portray more with the color blue in her piece. She hopes people get awareness from it. “Blue also represents peaceful, tranquility, calmness,” O’Brien said. “I wanted to somehow portray that.” April has been designated Child Abuse Prevention Month since 1983. This is the second year Wear Blue Day has been observed in Toledo. O

Toledo City Council will vote at its April 2 meeting on a resolution encouraging residents to participate in Wear Blue Day on April 10. The second annual event, organized by Lucas County Children Services (LCCS), is meant to “unify our c o m mu n i t y in a commitment to keep children safe SARANTOU from being abused and neglected,” according to the resolution. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. “People need to know they are not alone in caring for kids,” said LCCS Public Information Officer Julie Malkin. “It’s simply getting the word out that it’s important to be passionate about this.” LCCS Assessment Manager Cary Brown said she hopes seeing widespread community support might encourage someone to report suspected abuse or neglect. The agency’s hotline, (419) 213CARE (2273), is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Reports can be left anonymously. “Child abuse and neglect continues to be a concern in the Toledo area and members of Toledo City Council urge our community to stand up to protect our most precious resource, our children,” the resolution reads. “It’s very important because we need to eradicate child abuse in our community,” said Councilman George Sarantou, the resolution’s sponsor. “Every day we’re reminded of child abuse in Toledo and throughout Northwest Ohio. It’s very important to urge people to be aware of it, report it and do something about it. It just can’t be tolerated. Children are very innocent and they certainly deserve to live in a positive environment and not go through child abuse, which as we know can have lifelong negative effects on a human being.” O

HIGHER EDUCATION
three semesters at Herzing. “3+1” will save students almost $20,000 on the cost of a traditional four-year liberal arts university bachelor degree program. “What this does is accomplish a couple of things,” Milliken said. “No. 1, it allows students to attend a community college at a lower per credit hour cost. It also allows them to finish in a reasonable amount of time, saving that kind of money so they’re not up to their necks in student loan debt.”

MARCH 31, 2013 n HERZING CONTINUED FROM A16 The website lists five required fees. Two are one-time fees — an application fee ($20) and a new student orientation fee ($65). Recurring required fees are registration fees ($10), laboratory fees, which vary by course, and academic support service fees ($110). Owens lists 12 optional fees, ranging in cost from $5 per academic program to $50 per semester. Owens does not charge a parking fee.
‘No fee’ policy
“We don’t stack fees,” Milliken said. “We include the cost of books (in the price of a credit hour), and we don’t add any fees. We even pay for any certification test that a student would need. For example, our new information technology program will include some Cisco (Computer Information System Company) certifications. If someone has to sit for a Cisco certification test, we pay that
fee as a part of their tuition. “We don’t have technology fees, special services fees, program fees and parking fees. If you were to take a look at the typical bill for a public university, you could see as many as six to 10 different kinds of fees. When the state legislature puts a tuition freeze on what public colleges and universities can charge, those institutions generate additional revenue by establishing fees.”
Global marketplace
“This is career-oriented stuff where graduates can walk right in the door and do the job because, built into our curriculum, we’re using actual case studies that companies faced in logistics, product ordering, HR, benefits, financial accounting — every aspect of the global marketplace,” Milliken said. Milliken said Herzing’s Software Applications Platform (SAP) component to the curriculum makes its graduates more marketable. “SAP is the software system that

60 percent of the world’s companies use, including local employers such as the City of Toledo, Owens-Illinois, Owens Corning, The Andersons and Chrysler,” Milliken said. “It’s in demand, especially in Northwest Ohio.” Milliken said SAP allows various software programs that companies use to talk to each other and expand out into all types of devices, including personal computers, smartphones, tablets and the Web. Milliken said SAP allows companies to present information in user-friendly ways. Liberal arts four-year colleges and universities teach the theory behind SAP and other computing platforms, but they don’t offer students the handson training in operating platforms that Herzing provides, Milliken said. “When graduates walk out with a bachelor’s degree in business with this SAP component, they’re ready to walk into any one of our major local employers,” Milliken said. “They don’t have to leave the area to find opportunity. And we’re being told anecdot-
ally out in the field that if you don’t have that SAP piece, many of the local employers aren’t going to look at you. Since the unemployment situation is so high right now, employers can pick and choose whom they want.” Milliken acknowledged that critics will be skeptical of the “3+1” program, saying it is simply a marketing ploy that a for-profit university is using to entice more students to enroll. “There will be naysayers out there, but until we start creating the university of the future, we’re going to miss a lot of opportunity,” Milliken said. “For the traditional bricks-and-mortar university, time is passing it by. There are almost 1,000 online programs out there. Our online bachelor’s program is now ranked 80th in the country by U.S. News & World Report. That puts us at No. 1 on Northwest Ohio and No. 2 in Ohio.”

cause the adult learner, formerly known as the nontraditional student, is the norm rather than the exception these days,” Milliken said. “In order for them to complete an education, we have to work around the work-family-childrenlife balance. And education is just one more thing piled on all the pressures of life. And unless and until we evolve and adapt to meet those situations, we’re not going to succeed as a region.” Milliken said Herzing is looking to expand the “3+1” program “in any way we can so that students can save money on college. It’s something that may be a good fit for Northwest State [Community College, with its main campus in Archbold and satellite campuses in Bryan, Van Wert and Whitehouse] or Terra [Community College in Fremont], but those discussions have not been completed. The idea has been introduced to their leadership, but further discussions are obviously needed.” Milliken said reciprocity programs like “3+1” could be expanded to programs both schools have in common, including: O Technology programs in computer networking, network management, security technology and technology management. O A public safety program in criminal justice. O Health care programs in health information management, health care management, insurance billing and coding, medical assistance services and surgical technology. O Business programs in accounting, business management and paralegal services. “Anything that we offer could be pursued at a higher level toward a bachelor’s degree,” he said. “Anything we offer is a logical candidate for such a ‘3+1’ program.” Milliken said Greg Guzman, Herzing campus president, gets all the credit for establishing the program. “Greg used to work at Owens so he has some ongoing relationships there,” Milliken said. “What gives us such a foothold here is that Greg has worked in higher education in many of Northwest Ohio’s public universities, including Owens, Lourdes [University] and Bowling Green [State University]. “As institutions of higher education, we have to do a better job of meeting all students where they’re at and structure programs accordingly to do two things — help them achieve success and give them the tools and the tool belt necessary for what the workforce demands. “And if we’ve done neither or either, then we’ve failed the students who are investing in their future success.” O

Fisher presents improvement program in Toledo
By Brigitta Burks
Toledo Free Press News Editor bburks@toledofreepress.com
Former Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, now president and CEO of CEOs for Cities, a membership network of innovators and leaders in urban areas, made two presentations in Toledo on March 28. “We’re not just CEOs even though our name implies that. We’re change FISHER makers. Anybody who considers themselves a change maker, in other words committed to making positive changes in their city, is qualified to be a member
of our team. And what we do is we share smart ideas and practices for making a city successful,” Fisher said, adding that members are all ages and come from many sectors. Cities like Cincinnati, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Memphis, Tenn., have had success with the program, Fisher said. Fisher, who has led the organization since May 2011, said that with 65 million people moving to cities every year, urban areas are crucial. He travels to a different city every week with his job. His Toledo presentations were at Toledo City Council’s chambers and the University of Toledo’s Libbey Hall and attended by several city officials. “Here’s what we do — we curate ideas. We take the ideas that we see around the country every day and we

ave you ever had the opportunity to get a custom fit suit of clothes tailored to fit you? If you have, you really appreciate what a nice feeling this is and what a difference in how your clothes feel and look. I (Mark) can remember as a young boy my dad taking me to a tailor who took my measurements to make me a nice suit. Now mind you, we were not rich. My dad was a missionary in Korea, and it was very inexpensive to buy a custom tailored suit. My dad taught me how to dress and that if you look good it really has an effect on how you feel. You feel great. You look great. I definitely notice the difference when I see someone wearing something that is ill-fitting. My dad also taught me that when you go shopping for clothes, get dressed up so you look sharp. The sales person will treat you much better and will be more inclined to want to help you. I have followed dad’s advice and believe me it works. Try it out for yourself. It seems that anything that is customized to your specifications is much better all around. It works better, feels better and has a positive impact on whatever you are doing. I always wondered
identify the ones we think are the most interesting and best ones and we connect people — we do regional meetings; we do national meetings,” Fisher said. These ideas include Cincinnati’s revamping of its Over-the-Rhine area and Grand Rapids’ GRid70, which enables creative employees from top corporations in the area to work in the same building and share ideas. There is a $25,000 fee for a twoyear membership. CEOs for Cities has about 350 individual and organizational members and 11 “cluster” members who can share the membership and work together, Fisher said. “Clusters” are a “team of cross-sector, cross-generational leaders committed to the economic success of their city,” according to the website. Membership includes discounted or free attendance of meetings where ideas are shared.
Sue Wuest of UT Urban Affairs was one of a few UT employees who attended a CEOs for Cities meeting recently. She said she enjoyed the variety of people comfortably conversing at the March 2012 meeting in Cincinnati. “It was like the nexus of high-level and mid-level business folks, highlevel and mid-level university folks, students, young entrepreneurs and community organizers,” Wuest said. While Fisher was in Toledo, he also met with representatives from UT, Toledo Community Foundation, Regional Growth Partnership and the Mayor’s Office. Mayor Mike Bell said the group will discuss the decision to potentially join as a cluster and split costs April 2. Bell said the program appealed to him because it would connect Toledo with other cities going

A VIEW FROM THE GULCH
Be careful where you get your hair cut W “
e have had a lot of interesting news the past several days out of Cyprus. It all started March 14, when Cyprus became the fifth country to receive a bailout from the European Union (EU). The interesting aspect of this is that it became a “bail in” instead of a bailout. A bail-in takes place before a bankruptcy, and generally involves the losses being imposed on bondholders. This has rarely taken place throughout the euro crisis. (Remember a while back, Greek bondholders took a haircut on the bond value at one point in the Greece meltdown.) In fact, the government (taxpayers) consistently makes the private sector whole. This bank rescue in Cyprus is no exception, except this time there is a bail-in, not of bondholders but of depositors. This is a direct contradiction to the usual legal claims on the capital structure. Think about this: Instead of the bondholders and/or stockholders shouldering the risk of failure, the de-
positors are paying for the rescue! Obviously, the powers that be knew that this would be a problem and called for a bank holiday for March 17. This quickly became such a major issue with people trying to get their money out of the banks via ATMs, that the bank holiday was extended to March 28 as of this writing. Taking money out Gary L. of a depositor’s account without any consideration other than that the money is there is a direct assault on individual property rights and every one of us that lives in the developed world should pay attention. If this should actually go through, not only would this become a serious contagion of panic across the rest of the EU but it would spread to other countries as well. Why would anyone put money into a bank account if at any given

time the government could reach in and confiscate whatever amount it wanted without due process, simply because the money is there? Equally disturbing are three other stories or situations related to this. The first is that the American Bankers Association this week came out with a statement simply stating the situation in RATHBUN that Cyprus has “no implication for depositors in U.S. institutions. Depositors in U.S. banks are insured up to $250,000 and no insured depositor has ever lost money in a bank failure.” The second was an article from The Wall Street Journal that states that 57 percent of Americans have less than $25,000 in savings and investments, thereby freeing those unwealthy individuals from being subjected to the same confiscation threshold as Cypriots. And finally, the fact that New Zealand has legislation in process, namely the Open Bank Resolution, that says that all depositors of a failing bank will have their savings reduced to fund big bank bailouts. Could it happen here? Doubtful. But then again, I thought it was very doubtful that we would have national health care and go to a onepayer system, and yet here we are. We do have the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). However, the FDIC has $25 billion in reserves against $3 trillion in deposits,
so we should feel very comfortable about that. I am at the stage of my life where I rarely need a haircut and when I do, it’s a five minute ordeal. But when it comes to my deposits getting a haircut, I am at a stage in my life where it is a much larger deal than when I was 25. I am not going to withdraw all of my money out of the bank (yet), but I am going to stay diligent. If I think a late-night haircut is coming our way, I will act and act quickly. O Gary L.

CITY OF TOLEDO
Second neighborhood improvement initiative kicks off in Toledo Several city officials and businesspeople, including Mayor Mike Bell’s office and the Inspection, Neighborhoods, Public Service and Public Utilities departments, kicked off Toledo’s second year of Spring Sweeps, an initiative striving to better the city’s housing and building stock, on March 27. “These Spring Sweeps are very crucial to the quality of life for people in different areas of our city,” Bell said during a news conference at East Toledo Family Center on March 27. “It is a very aggressive process to make people feel assured that their city cares about them,” he said. The initiative’s soft launch started March 20 and the program ends June 20. The first part of the sweep will focus on East Toledo before going into the United North, Broadway Corridor and Overland Park areas. As part of the initiative, the city’s Division of Code Enforcement is conducting inspections and handing out door tags that include information on assistance programs. Discount codes to local hardware stores are also available. Spring Sweeps also includes police participation. In a 10-day targeted enforcement operation in March, police arrested more than 200 people in East Toledo areas where higher than average crime rates were reported. At the news conference, Police Chief Derrick Diggs said that maintaining neighborhoods is important because vacant or rundown buildings can attract crime. The sweeps also feature a neighborhood cleanup day where school and community groups will help out. East Toledo’s is set for 9 a.m. to noon April 27, starting at East Toledo Family Center. Last year’s program focused on West Toledo. “The feedback from last year was very positive. If anything, the residents in the areas we targeted wanted more information about their neighborhoods,” said Chris Zervos, director of inspection. “[Residents] not only took care of their own properties but they helped their neighbors take care of theirs.” This year’s Spring Sweeps tackles 8,000 properties, down from 17,000 last year, said Dennis Kennedy, manager of code enforcement. “We focused our areas down. We’re a little bit smaller this year so the neighborhoods get more attention from the inspectors instead of doing a larger blanket sweep,” he said. O — Brigitta Burks

Despite losing 2-0 to the conference champion Reading Royals, the Toledo Walleye clinched a spot in the ECHL playoffs with a little help from the Wheeling Nailers on March 24. The Nailers held on and defeated the Kalamazoo Wings, who were ninth in the standings and trailed the Walleye by seven points. Despite gaining a point from a shootout loss, the Wings could at best tie Toledo in total points, but the Walleye would have the advantage in the tiebreaker. According to the ECHL website, the first tiebreaker is total wins excluding shootout victories. If the Wings were to win their final three games, they would have 31 wins. Toledo already has 35 and no shootout wins. Walleye head coach Nick Vitucci said the March 24 loss was “bittersweet.” “I was excited, our effort was night and day compared to last night and that’s a top team in the conference and we ran right with them, thrilled about out last 70 minutes of hockey against this hockey club here.”
Vitucci said he knew after the second period about Kalamazoo’s shootout loss but waited to spread the news until trainer Brad Fredrick could confirm it — from his cellphone on the team bench during the final stanza. Vitucci then told his captain Kyle Rogers and alternate captain Randy Rowe. Later in the period, the final was announced and the 7,071 attendees gave the team a standing ovation for clinching the playoffs for the second time in Walleye history. Despite the pressure of making the postseason being lifted, Rogers said there is still some work to be done before the playoffs start, which could be as soon as April 3. “It’s a great feeling; maybe loosen up the hands a little bit and maybe the guys will play a little better,” he said. “We can’t sit back, we have to go hard and practice and go harder actually to get better and to improve so we don’t get four-and-out in the first round.” Defenseman Wes O’Neill noted one adjustment will need to be the team’s power play, which is 18th in the ECHL at 15.2 percent (70-of-256). Only two other playoff-bound teams have worse execution with a man advantage.
The Walleye have been in playoff contention for most of the year and during the NHL lockout the team had the depth and talent to potentially take the North Division crown. Once the lockout ended in January, however, the Walleye — who had a share of first place in the division — lost five players in a 24-hour span. The five called up to the American Hockey League, including playmakers Byron Froese, Ben Youds and Terry Broadhurst, combined for 84 points. Froese and Youds would intermittently find themselves on the Walleye roster and Youds finished the season in Toledo. Vitucci said he is unsure whether the AHL affiliates will send any players down to help the Walleye’s playoff run. While the Walleye were looking to fill their roster, they signed Nino Musitelli on Jan. 15 and he remained with the team, scoring 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) in 31 games. The Walleye took advantage of having Trevor Parkes in the lineup when he was sent down from the Grand Rapids Griffins. Parkes’ presence is especially felt on special teams, accounting for six power play goals in 17 games with the Walleye.

For some players, such as 32-yearold Rowe, this could be one of the last postseason appearances. “Might be my last year, might not; I don’t have too many more years left at all,” Rowe said. “[Making the playoffs is] really important, especially with the group of guys we have here because I respect all these guys and it’s a good group of guys and if there’s a team to do it, I think we’ve got a good bunch of guys to do it.”
Rogers said he would “want to try to do everything I can for him to get into the playoffs this year.” O’Neill said while the team is happy to clinch a playoff spot, the players’ goals are high. “We want to win it. We’re not just happy to get there, we’re going to hopefully play hockey for a couple more months,” O’Neill said. “Once we get there, we have to step up our game another notch.” O

It’s a long way to Sundance and even farther to Cannes. But film enthusiasts don’t have to travel quite so far for a peek at up-and-coming films and filmmakers. On April 3, the lights will go dark and the projector will illuminate the big screen as the 37th Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) kicks off. The 12-day festival will showcase 180 feature films and 165 short films from 65 different countries. More than 200 filmmakers are traveling to Cleveland for the festival, according to Patrick Shepherd, associate director of CIFF. “Their countries of origin include Belgium, Belize, Brazil, Canada, France, India, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, United Kingdom and of course the USA,” he said. “We’ll also have a filmmaker from Puerto Rico.” CIFF kicks off its opening night gala April 3 with screenings of “The Kings of Summer,” a coming-of-age film that was shot last summer in Greater Cleveland. The festival begins at full steam on April 4. On a typical day there will be more than 30 films screened between 9 a.m. and midnight. On Fridays and Saturdays, there are late-night screenings that start around 11:30 p.m. For those traveling from Toledo, Shepherd said they could make a day trip out of it or spend the whole weekend in Cleveland. “The program is spread very evenly throughout the festival so you can get a sampling of the different types of films from around the world and all of the various documentaries that we bring in,” he said in an interview with Toledo Free Press. For those who have never been to a film festival before, most operate out of theaters of varying shape and size. CIFF benefits from having one main location for almost all of its screenings: Tower City Cinemas in downtown Cleveland. “We’re lucky to be in the heart of downtown,” Shepherd said. “We’re very fortunate to have a very attentive film-going community in Northern Ohio,” he said, “and we’re most lucky about having everything under one roof.” Organizers spend all year looking
for films around the world, he said. There is also a call for entries launched every summer. Shepherd said there were nearly 2,000 films submitted for consideration.
Local connection
Once films are selected, CIFF works closely to connect specific films with nonprofit organizations in Northern Ohio. This was the first year CIFF reached out to Toledo organizations, said Shepherd, a 1993 Bowling Green State University graduate. “I noticed that there was a trend of more people coming to the festival from the [Toledo] area,” he said. The Toledo-Lucas County Public Library is partnering with CIFF for screenings of “Google and the World Brain” on April 6 and 7. Shepherd said he reached out to the library because of the film’s story about Google’s mission to digitally scan and preserve every book ever written. Tracy Montri, manager of the Main Library’s audiovisual department, said the partnership is a great opportunity to remind the community of the library’s commitment to film. She noted that individuals who enjoy movies can borrow from the library’s film collection for free. Montri has gone to CIFF several times and recommends attending. “If you’re really into film, it’s a great investment to surround yourself with it. The folks who attend film festivals are like-minded individuals,” she said. “Film festival crowds are just there for the right reasons. It’s a really great community experience.” Montri also organizes the library’s Film Focus series, which is a twiceannual, six-week independent film program at the Main Library, 325 N. Michigan St.
LGBT films
Equality Toledo is also partnering with the festival. The nonprofit organization that works to end discrimination in the region is connected with “God Loves Uganda,” which screens April 11 and 12. “The festival has always made a commitment to LGBT films and the LGBT community, especially with its 10 percent cinema series,” said David Mann, spokesman for Equality Toledo. “We thought it was a great opportunity to help tell our

collective stories.” The film tells the story of LGBT Ugandans, who are risking their lives to fight for basic equality, Mann said. It also features certain forces in America that are exporting antigay hate and fueling violence in Africa. “It’s a story that fits well with what we do here locally,” Mann said. “Whether here in Toledo or in Uganda, all of us are fighting for basic equality for LGBT people.”
What to expect
Audiences can expect to see filmmakers from films screened at CIFF. “What makes a film festival special is the ability to engage filmmakers,” Shepherd said. “Anybody can watch a film on an iPad or even on your smartphone these days.” Audiences at festivals have an opportunity to connect directly with directors, producers, writers or actors of a film, he said. “Last year we had a little over 200 filmmakers come in for the 11 days,” Shepherd said. “I think we
have at least 130 feature filmmakers coming in” this year. One program at the festival is Focus on Filmmakers, which is sponsored by a grant from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. CIFF received a three-year $150,000 grant in 2011 — the only festival in the country to receive the grant from the Academy, which is known for its Oscars. “Getting support from the Academy is like getting a Good Housekeeping seal of approval from the industry,” Shepherd said. In 2011, the focus was on African Diaspora films and filmmakers. This year, the focus is on the Latino community. Next year, the focus will be on the LGBT community. Another tie-in with the Academy, two of CIFF’s short film award winners — Best Animated and Best Live Action Shorts — are automatically eligible for nomination consideration for the Oscars. Last year’s Live Action Short winner, “Curfew,” went on to win the Oscar in the same category in February.
CIFF is the largest film festival between New York and Chicago, according to Shepherd. “There’s no other festival in the region that matches us in attendance,” he said. CIFF has been at Tower City Cinemas since 1991, according to Shepherd. Back then, the attendance for the festival was around 15,000. In 2012, attendance for CIFF was more than 85,000, a record. More are expected to attend this year after organizers added another day to the festival. “There wasn’t any more room to grow, space-wise,” Shepherd said. “This is the first time in over 20 years that we’ve extended the length of the festival.” Toledo Free Press is a media sponsor for the 37th Cleveland International Film Festival.

The Toledo-Lucas County Public Library offers a Film Focus series every spring and fall. The six-week spring series started March 25 and runs through April 29. “We’re really proud to have our own film festival with Film Focus,” said series organizer Tracy Montri, who is also manager of the Main Library’s audiovisual department. “We’re really proud of our programming at the library and of our collection.” Film Focus started as a way for Toledoans to experience great films. “Over the years, the public has taught the library that they’re very much interested in a diverse group of topics and presentations,” she said. “I try to choose very highquality content and things that I don’t believe people otherwise have had an opportunity to see in the Toledo area.” Now in its ninth year, the series is held in the McMaster Center at the Main Library, 325 N. Michigan St., on Mondays at 6:15 p.m. Each event is free, including underground parking.
contrasting views,” Yonke said. The Rev. Julian Davies, a former atheist and professor and now a pastor of the University Church, and Peg Clancy of the Toledo chapter of Recovering From Religion, will talk after the film. “Father of Lights: Who is God?” will screen April 13. Darren Wilson, a Monroe, Mich., native, directed the documentary, which explores God’s character. “Twist of Faith” will follow April 20. This documentary features Toledo firefighter Tony Comes coming to terms with past sexual abuse by a Catholic priest. Comes and Jon Schoonmaker and Claudia Vercellotti of the Toledo chapter of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests are expected to attend the discussion after the film. The final film in the series is “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed,” in which Ben Stein explores freedom of speech in academics in regard to intelligent design, on April 27. Yonke, the former Blade religion editor, said he hopes the film series makes people more aware of ToledoFAVS.

Better For You Because grass is what cattle are meant to eat, beef from grassfed, grass-finished cattle is better than beef from grain-fed cattle in a number of ways. It is higher in Vitamin A, Vitamin E, CLAs; has a better balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids; has a favorable unsaturated fatty acid ratio; and provides more dietary protein. It’s better for you, plain and simple.
Better For the AnimAls Tallgrass Beef cattle aren’t kept in pens or feedlots—they spend their life in a pasture, in a stress-free environment, grazing in the kind of common groups they prefer. They aren’t given hormones to enhance their growth and they have no need of antibiotics to help them digest grain, which isn’t their natural food. They live as nature intended.
Better For the PlAnet Tallgrass cattle are raised naturally, perpetuating an ageold cycle of nature. They eat grass and naturally fertilize the land to grow more grass, never adding extra carbon to the atmosphere. In fact, growing prairie grass has been shown to be one of the most effective ways of reducing our carbon footprint.

Toledo Faith & Values (ToledoFAVS.com), a website covering religion and spirituality in Northwest Ohio, is set to debut its film series “Faith Under Fire: Documentary Films on Religion’s Hot Topics” on April 6.

and Horoscope
MAR. 31 - APR. 6, 2013
Events: 3rd – 4th quarter Moon Aries (March 21-April 19)
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Resistance to change fires your desire to eighty-six the old and implement the new. Your fiery personality is supersized this week, especially Wednesday. Tone down a little to keep the peace. You’ll get top-notch connections with like-minded people after Friday.
People close to you struggle to unload past things/ situations, but express hopes for the future. It will be too easy to get caught up in peoples’ emotions Wednesday. A turn for the better on Thursday leads to big leaps forward Friday and romance Saturday.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
After a pleasantly social Sunday, your financial situation gets a boost as the week starts. Hidden developments or ideas are bubbling to the surface all week. Don’t start anything Wednesday. Fly free after Thursday! Luck and good news appear when you least expect it.
You’re focused on making changes and adjustments that make life easier. You make big progress until Wednesday, a day that may be twitchy or frustrating. Personal interests bloom after Thursday, when people make wonderful offers you can’t refuse.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
This week brings endings and departures in your groups and networks. Things are being transformed, and your interests and participation are in a state of flux. People from distant places make an impact. Sparks of attraction fly Saturday, but wait for second impressions.
‘Keep the best and let go of the rest’ is a good motto for the week. People create gut-churning distractions Wednesday. Refocus on Thursday, as past ideas/contacts reemerge with new relevance. New relationships bloom Friday and Saturday.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Big personal challenges go well with an unprecedented level of cooperation from others. Other peoples’ deeds reflect well on you. Relatives may be improving jobs or real estate conditions. People in leadership may be moving in new directions – watch closely.
Your self image is shifting and bending in new directions. Issues from 2012 have remolded inner workings. Face your fears midweek. Look for a new role model Thursday. People give thumbs-up to your insights and fresh attitudes over the weekend.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
If you know exactly what you want, this week is a great time to go about getting it. Avoid any big deals Wednesday, though, as impulse may overrule good sense. Friday and Saturday are a super-bonus days for friendship and personal connections. Aim high and go far.
As the week begins, let go of what you can’t change and focus on what you can change. By Thursday, doors to opportunity start opening. Women are helpful, and frustrating delays over the past few months turn out to be advantageous. Timing is all.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Powerful individuals are inclined to be helpful and give advantages as the week begins. Take things slow Wednesday. You’ll have better luck gaining consensus after Thursday. People close to you are heading toward exciting transformations – keep up!
Remember loved ones from the past as you face the future. Good spirits hover in your vicinity as the week begins. Avoid spending decisions Wednesday. After Thursday, insider hints indicate that your abilities and talents are about to take you in new directions
