Recognizing leadership

Since 1989, Notre Dame Academy has inducted 70 graduates into its Hall of Fame, honoring those who have made outstanding contributions professionally or through community service. This past spring, two NDA alumnae, Patricia Lewis Sopko, ’81, and Sr. Mary Delores Gatliff, SND, ’68, became the most recent inductees. Sopko received this year’s Professional Achievement Award for her work in hospice care and as an instructor with the University of Toledo’s College of Nursing. Sr. Gatliff (pictured) received this year’s Service Leadership Award for her impact on the community made through the Diocese of Toledo and the the Sisters of Notre Dame.

Directing research

Fashion police

No, Perrysburg police officers won’t pull you over for committing a fashion faux-pas, but you can still call them the fashion police. Recently, the Perrysburg Township Police were named the Best Dressed in the Nation by the North American Association of Uniform Manufacturers & Distributors (NAUMD). While sharply dressed police officers might exude a passion for fashion, they reflect the important role uniforms play in law enforcement and public safety.

“Uniforms have a powerful impact on how employees are perceived, and this is particularly true in law enforcement and public safety,” said Steve Zalkin, NAUMD president. “In law enforcement, a visible, uniformed public safety presence on the street, at a mall or other institution can add a sense of security and help comfort the public or allay fears.”

The University of Toledo’s Lake Erie Center researches environmental conditions and aquatic resources in Maumee Bay and the western basin of Lake Erie, with a focus on understanding the relationship between land-use and water quality. In May, Dr. Tom Bridgeman, a professor of limnology (the study of bodies of fresh water) in the UT Department of Environmental Sciences, was named the Center’s new director. Previously, Dr. Bridgeman served as a resident faculty for the Center.

Local HIT THE TRAIL

Stroll through NW Ohio’s past on the Greater Toledo History Trail, a self-guided tour of nine different Toledo-area history organizations, to learn about the Glass City’s olden days. Go online to print off your free Trail Passport and start collecting stamps. Fill your passport with stamps from all nine Greater Toledo History Trail Heritage Sites, then turn it in at one of two Trail Head locations— The National Museum of the Great Lakes or the Toledo History Museum— and receive a complimentary kid’s sticker pack and a 25% discount on select t-shirts. The Trail has no set beginning or end, so adventurers can begin their trek at any of the sites — the Toledo Police Museum, the Toledo Firefighters Museum, the Wolcott Heritage Center, the Local History Department at the Toledo Lucas County Public Library, Spafford House Museum, Sylvania Historical Village, Brandville School & Museum Complex, the National Museum of the Great Lakes and the Toledo History Museum.

Cemetery strolls

This isn’t as weird as it sounds, we promise. Step into local National Historic Site, the Historic Woodlawn Cemetery and Arboretum for themed summer evening strolls, held on the second Thursday of July and August from 6-7:30pm. Explore “The Art of Woodlawn: Egyptian Revival to Modern Architecture” on July 12 and “The Story of our Industrial Pioneers” on August 9. Walk throughout the 160 acre campus of scenic and rolling hills to tour the grounds and learn about history, art, and nature. If evening strolls aren’t your thing, consider attending a Birds of Woodlawn walk on Fridays from 8:3010:30am to learn about some of the 200 species of the area’s winged friends.

On Wednesdays at 9am through October 31st, the Woodlawn Walkers take a power stroll on a two mile path around the property. All events are free. To learn more, call 419-472-2186 or visit historic-woodlawn.com. historic-woodlawn.com Free (L-R) Lieutenant Dave Nixon with Alyssa Darah, Superior Uniform Sales.

Inviting visitors

Tony Packo’s is a must-visit Toledo restaurant, so it’s not surprising to hear that Tony Packo Jr. received the 2018 Tourism Impact Award during Destination Toledo’s 10th annual Conference on Tourism. “Tony works closely with the CVB and helps our staff whenever we need his assistance,” said Cathy Miller, Director of Tourism at Destination Toledo.

“When we have bus tours in town, Tony is always available to meet with the group and share personal stories of how Tony Packo’s restaurant started. He is a true asset to our entire community.”

X-Rated education

Instead, learn something else during the Lourdes University Lifelong Learning Thinking Outside the Box: X workshop, where the “X” refers to the Roman numeral for ten. The tenth time that this workshop is being held, this creative challenge asks participants to “think about thinking” through thought-provoking puzzles, cognitive exercises, and more. $17 for members. $29 for non-members.

10-11:30am. Wednesday, July 18. Lourdes University classroom locations, 6832 Convent Blvd., Sylvania. To register, please call 419-824-3707, visit lourdes.edu/lifelong, or email lifelong@lourdes.edu.

Profiles Q&A What do you admire in people?

I admire honesty. That would be number one. Honesty and hard work.

What is your pet peeve?

When it comes to eating out, one of my pet peeves is to read all these glorious descriptions on a menu, and then when it’s served, it doesn’t meet that at all.

That’s one of my major pet peeves.

What are the words you live by?

Laugh, I guess. Laughter is one of my things. And good friends.

What advice would you give to the younger you?

Pack up and live in Hawaii for a couple years!

A Culinary Legacy

Mary Alice Powell looks back at decades of food reporting

By Jeff McGinnis She’s been (mostly) retired for over two decades, yet Mary Alice Powell said that she still spends time every day doing what she made her living at for 41 years— writing.

Nearing 90, Powell has forged a literary and culinary legacy that is unmatched in Northwest Ohio.

She created the Food Editor position at the Toledo Blade in 1954, and for the next four decades covered the latest in recipes and eateries throughout the area. Looking back, she said she has nothing but fond memories of her work with The Blade.

“I just loved every calorie, I guess you could say,” Powell said with a laugh. “I really, truly enjoyed it.

There was no bad part about food writing, to me anyway.”

Over the course of her career, Powell brought a seasoned and entertaining gaze to an ever-changing culinary landscape, both at home and while dining out. New food trends. People having less time

to cook, and craving simpler recipes. The rise of men— gasp!— actually learning to cook for themselves. Through it all, Powell says, the stories of people were as crucial to her work as the food itself.

“I think food is interesting. It can be entertaining. It’s more than just a necessity to me.

And I met great, great people. I used to go out into the fields and into the orchards and talk to people, eat their apple pie and peach dumplings and all that. And I just had a good time,” Powell said.

Even at this stage of her life, Powell is hardly slowing down. She still writes a regular column for the Blade while living in Grand Rapids, OH with her two cats. Powell said she’s staying as busy as ever.

“Now that I’m a senior senior, cruises appeal to me, of course. But life is good.”

What inspires you now?

At this age, do I need to be inspired?

What is your favorite food?

I love pasta. I like local fish, Lake Erie fish. And I’m crazy about potatoes.

Who do you most admire?

My favorite person in history is Thomas Jefferson.

Mancy’s Ideal 5333 Monroe St., 419-841-0066. mancys.com

There is perhaps no higher honor attainable in a community than to be considered and found exemplary by your peers and neighbors. Here are the businesses and leaders that you, our readers, found to be worthy of such a designation.

Sometimes tradition can’t be beat, and this retro-inspired Mancy’s restaurant is the perfect place to give your grandkids a glimpse into Toledo’s history.

Now a Toledo staple, the Mancy family first asserted themselves as a local culinary dynasty nearly 100 years ago when cousins Nikolas Graham and Gus Mancy opened their first restaurant, “The Ideal,” in 1921 in West Toledo.

Now Mancy’s Steakhouse, the concept for that original Phillips Avenue restaurant has been revived on Monroe Street, in the former Revolution Grill location. Find throwbacks to the original eatery and dishes equally inspired by tradition and contemporary cuisine at the family’s fifth Toledo restaurant.

Beneficiary Mistakes Can Cost Families a Fortune By: Nolan Baker, America’s Retirement Headquarters Beneficiary designations are an important issue in determining where estate assets end up.

Many think a will or trust determines where everything goes at death. A last will and testament generally determines where titled things in your name go. Real estate, cars, bank accounts, stocks, bonds are included in a will. It is important to realize some assets are owned by contract rather than title and do no pass through your will.

Assets that are financial contracts can be annuities, life insurance, IRA’s and any other types of financial accounts. These contracts may a have beneficiary designation which names who you want to receive any proceeds at death. If your will says all goes to cousin Susie and your beneficiary designation says Uncle Ed, and all your assets are in contract assets, it may all go to Uncle Ed. Beneficiary designations need to be updated as necessary.

REAL LIFE EXAMPLE: Before Anne got married and had children, she named her sister as beneficiary on her retirement account.

After she married and had children, she never changed her beneficiary designation. When Anne died in an unexpected accident, it was not her husband who got her money but her sister. The Supreme Court ruled in the Friedman case, the sister got the money. The Court

stated fact, while it was probably Anne’s intent to leave her husband and children the money, the only evidence they had was in writing and that was why her sister got the money.

ciary form was filled out, Kyle’s children would have received Kyle’s share. If this important to you, make sure it’s added to beneficiary forms.

A good time to update beneficiary forms is now. Most people assume the attorney took care of it with life changing events or procrastinate until it’s too late. Forms can not be changed after a death. Most attorneys do a great job, but often their focus is on probate assets and they do not review financial contracts outside of probate. Financial contracts are reviewed by finance professionals.

I have seen too many families have mistakes when it comes to their beneficiary forms. To help avoid these mistakes, we have provided a 14 point checklist to help ensure forms are filled out correctly for MLIVING NEWS READERS. Head over to www.AvoidBeneficiaryMistakes.com for an immediate download and complimentary copy of the checklist. Or you may request the form by calling us at 419-842-0550.

If you have grandchildren, review default language on beneficiary forms. You need to know the difference between per capita and per Stirpes. REAL LIFE EXAMPLE: A client of mine had a grandfather named Robert. Robert had two children, Donald and Kyle. I assumed Robert named his two sons as equal beneficiaries on several financial accounts. Unfortunately, Kyle, my client’s dad, died before his father.

When Grandfather died, assets went to his only living son, Donald. Since the default language was per capita, divided equally among surviving heads, Kyle’s children received nothing, even though the will said otherwise. If the words “per Stirpes” were used when the benefi-

Looking Back

He Never Saw It Coming

Looking back at a baseball legend

By Tom Cole

Tony Conigliaro, known throughout baseball as Tony “C”, was an instant fan favorite and a legend in Boston. Tony “C” held a major league baseball record for hitting more home runs than any other teenager in the history of major league baseball, the second youngest and second quickest to reach 100 home runs.

Conigliaro was a young star with matinee looks, home run power and athleticism in the outfield. Putting people in the seats in Boston, maybe, just maybe, he would become the next Mickey Mantle.

Hamilton was on the mound for the Angels, at 6’3” and two hundred pounds, a big man who threw hard.

Tony C stood at the plate, waiting on Hamilton’s pitch from Hamilton, a fast ball that got away from the big Angel’s pitcher. It hit Tony “C” directly in the eye. It shattered his jaw and damaged his retina.

Tony and most major leaguers at the time wore a protective helmet, but it did not have the ear flap used today for additional protection. Today many major league players wear helmets with an ear flap and a jaw protector.

A bad pitch

Because of his terrible injuries, Tony was out of baseball for a year and a half. The Boston hero made a triumphant return to baseball, hitting 20 home runs, knocking in 82 runs and becom-

Then it happened, August 18, 1967, the California Angels were playing at Boston. It was the fourth inning of a scoreless game, two out, nobody on and Tony”C” was at the plate. Jack

ing the comeback player of the year in 1969. In 1970 Tony “C” continued to improve, hitting 36 home runs and knocking in 116 runs.

But Tony Conigliaro’s tremendous comeback was cut short. The eye that had been hit with the Hamilton fastball began to lose vision, robbing him of his incredible home run hitting ability.

Life can be unpredictable.

There’s a line in a Rosanne Cash song called The Seven Year Ache, “God, I hope he comes back soon.” But it was not to be for Tony “C”. Maybe he would have been the next great baseball player, but his comeback was never complete.

Tony Conigliaro’s story demonstrates that life can be uneven, unsteady and unpredictable.

A comeback not to be

Join The Club

Toledoans of all ages are finding learning, shared interests, conversation and a whole world of fun through clubs, meetups, and organized groups. Here are a few local clubs perfect for making new friends and further developing old interests.

Develop interests with these local groups

Toledo Area Genealogical Society

Frogtown Storytelling Guild Do you often find yourself telling stories to family members which provide great amusement? Sharpen that skill even further by becoming a member of the Frogtown Storytelling Guild! The group usually meets on the second Saturday of the month from 9-11am at the Reynolds Corner Library, where they take turns telling stories of all kinds. Marion Hallauer is a member who specializes in humorous, ghost, and historical stories.

The major event that the Frogtown Storytelling Guild hosts each year is a telethon on the first Friday of November.

The event, called Tellabration!, is held at the Maumee Indoor Theatre where members of the Guild workshop their stories, practicing to be the best they can be.

This Guild is open to novice storytellers and professionals alike. Many of the members, including Hallauer, charge a fee for telling stories at various events, so it can be a paying hobby.

“It’s a very nice group,” Hallauer said. “People are kind to each other and we’re very good listeners!

Anyone is welcome to come, listen, and decide if they want to join.” The yearly membership is $25.

The Guild takes a summer break so check the website for meeting times.

—EH Learn more about the Frogtown Storytelling Guild at: sites.google.com/site/frogtownstorytellers.

If you’ve ever been interested in exploring the roots of your family tree, the Toledo Area Genealogical Society (TAGS) may be just your thing.

Meeting every second Monday of the month, September through June, TAGS is a group that works to inspire and assist its members as they trace the story of their ancestors. TAGS works in cooperation with the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library’s History and Genealogical Department.

“We often have people from the library come in, they’re very knowledgeable,” said Dana Schreder, who has worked with the group for 18 years and acts as webmistress for the TAGS website.

“We’re a group of like-minded people with an interest in exploring family history and working on these detective issues together.”

Each meeting of the club focuses on a different theme, from the founding of Perrysburg to the complex relationships of cousins and the meaning of terms like “fifth-cousin, twice removed.” The TAGS website also offers links to services and information sources for members to explore. The group also hosts events in cooperation with similar area genealogical groups.

“In this past year, three of the local societies went together to have a seminar,” Schreder explains.

—JM The Toledo Area Genealogical Society meets at 7 pm on the second Monday of every month, September-June, at the United Church of Christ in Sylvania. For more information visit tagstoledo.org.

Want to tell us about your club? all 419-244-9859 or email editor@adamsstreetpublishing.com.

Toledo Astronomical Association When the moon hits your eye and there’s stars in your skies — that’s Toledo Astronomical Association (TAA), headquartered in McMaster Hall at the University of Toledo. For almost three decades, the organization has provided a forum for amateur astronomers of every skill level to explore the nighttime sky.

There are plenty of enthusiastic 55+ participants, says longtime member Don Murad. “We have all ages represented, really. And you don’t have to own a telescope; the association owns scopes that are paid for through membership fees.” Individuals can experience regular outdoor “star party” viewing sessions held at area locations, including Sylvan Prairie Park and Beaver Creek Reserve. Guest lecturers are often part of the agenda, and congeniality reigns.

Member Barb Mauter says, “Many club members were willing to let me view through their telescopes, often explaining the celestial objects seen. Their knowledge far exceeding mine, I have learned more and more over the years of observing with the club.” Helen Palochko echoes the advantages for education and friendship: “My husband and I joined TAA to continue learning about, and sharing, astronomy. It’s a great shared interest for us, we’ve made good friends and are always learning.”

There’s even a summer picnic. —CN

Annual membership is $30 for adults/families, $10 for students.

Enhancing the potential for multi-generational family fun. Find all the details, including info about free TAA meetings with visiting lecturers (often UT or BGSU faculty), at toledoastronomy.org.

Currently the housing market has a problem: There are too few homes for sale. Persistently low inventory means that there are a lot of frustrated would-be buyers out there spending weekends at Open Houses. It also has led to home prices continuing to rise at a more than 6 percent clip from a year ago.

Adding to the pressure for homebuyers is the fact that mortgage rates increased to a seven-year high of 4.8 percent in April, pushing the National Association of Realtor’s mortgage affordability index to its lowest level since the end of 2008. Even with prices and mortgage rates up, many still want in on the housing market because they are worried that increases will persist or because renting has become less affordable.

Ideas for savings

As interest rates rise, refinancing becomes less compelling. Refinancing activity has slowed down to 10-year lows, but there may be other ways for current homeowners to save a few bucks. For those who bought property with less than 20 percent down, now is a great time to see if you can eliminate your private mortgage insurance (PMI).

PMI acts as an extra layer of protection for the lender if you stop making payments on your loan. Many don’t focus on PMI after the closing because premiums are usually added to the mortgage payment.

www.mlivingnews.com

To remove PMI, you need to demonstrate that you have at least 20 percent equity, that your mortgage balance is less than 80 percent of the original value of your home. “Original value” generally means either the contract sales price or the appraised value of your home at the time you bought it, whichever is lower. (If you have refinanced, the appraised value will be calculated as of the time you refinanced.) The equity in your home could have increased due to rising prices or due to additional payments you have made to reduce the principal balance of your mortgage to 80 percent, or a combination of both of those scenarios.

When the mortgage balance drops to 78 percent, the mortgage servicer is supposed to automatically eliminate PMI, but that does not happen as quickly as you might expect.

For my math-challenged pals, to calculate whether your loan balance has fallen below 80 percent of the original value, divide the current loan balance - the amount you still owe by the original appraised value (most likely, that’s the same as the purchase price).

Health Turmeric

Spice for what ails you?

By Cynthia Nowak

it. A lot of people come in [to buy it] because they’ve heard from friends and relatives how well it works.”

Medical spice You might call it yellow journalism!

Turmeric, the saffron-colored spice most of us know through curries and other Asian foods, is all over the news.

It’s claimed to be a treatment for conditions ranging from rheumatoid arthritis to Crohn’s disease to depression. It’s been touted as a painkiller, and you can even add it to your face cream for a golden glow.

What should you believe about this subtropical perennial of the ginger family? According to Pat Bassett, owner of Bassett Health Foods, people are interested: “It’s a wonderful product because it’s a food and people relate to

The professional medical field has taken note. The potential of turmeric is a subject familiar to Mounir Elkhatib MD, a Toledo internal medicine specialist, who notes, turmeric has a long pedigree in Asian medicine.

“In India in particular, it’s used to treat gastrointestinal problems, skin cancer and especially arthritis.” he says. Evidence seems strong for the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric, and Dr. Elkhatib is one of many doctors who combine turmeric with prescription drugs to treat certain conditions.

“I’ve had some wonderful results using turmeric to treat Hashimoto’s

thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition causing inflammation of the thyroid,” he says.

Western medical research on turmeric is focused on curcumin, an active substance within the plant’s chemistry. Although research is in its infancy, scientists are exploring whether curcumin might help fight two much-feared diseases: cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Dr. Elkhatib explains: “Early laboratory evidence seems to show that curcumin can inhibit cancer cell growth.

As well, the substance may increase apoptosis: the spontaneous cell death of cancer cells.”

If borne out by more studies, he says, curcumin might eventually be accepted as a supportive therapy for some forms of cancer, either in treating active cases or preventing the disease.

Asian diet staple

As for Alzheimer’s, the low incidence of the disease in India has been noted by researchers. Among the variables in lifestyles, turmeric stands out, raising the idea that daily consumption is preventive. Too early to say

for certain, Dr. Elkhatib says, “And remember, in Asia, turmeric is a daily food, with small doses every day over a lifetime.”

So is it time to add turmeric to your diet? Online medical sites note that turmeric extract is generally considered safe when used according to directions. Most healthy adults can take 400 to 600 mg of extract three times per day or as directed on the product label.

Don’t expect instant results, Bassett says. “It’s not a drug. You need to load your body, which can take from one day to a week, but gradually the inflammation is not there.

“And don’t run out, otherwise you’ll need to load your body again.”

Dr. Elkhatib offers some cautions.

“Turmeric is a natural substance, but natural does not always mean safe,” he says.

“Remember that there are biological ingredients capable of interfering with prescription medications. So it’s very important to tell your physician what you are doing. Otherwise you could undermine his or her work.”

Sweet Additions

The Cinnamon Stick— more than pie

By Athena Cocoves

[culinary]

When a restaurant flips the script and introduces a new concept, the transition may lead to a question— was the change a reconsideration or a continuation of previous plans? In the case of The Cinnamon Stick, which began as a pie bakery, the addition of a full breakfast, lunch and dinner menu doesn’t feel, or taste, like an afterthought.

First course

When The Cinnamon Stick opened in February 2017, they started with dessert. Originally planned as a bakery and cafe, the cozy Sylvania confectionary offered handmade fruit and cream pies, ice cream, espresso drinks, along with a host of baked goods.

Patrons flocked in for the pies in a variety of flavors, from classics like Apple and Peach, to more unique selections, like Buckeye Cream. Despite being flakey and delicious, carefullycrafted pies were only part of what customers loved when the bakery opened. Folks coming off the University/Parks Bike Trail— a few feet away from the bakery— savored ice cream cones. Couples stopped in to share a slice of pie and a cup of coffee after dinner. Families picked up pie made-to-order, were tempted by decorated cookies and special pastries.

It didn’t take long until The Cinnamon Stick realized that, despite their pies, customers were excited for more.

So six months after opening, in September 2017, they rolled out a menu featuring sandwiches and other lunchtime favorites.

More options

Customers sampled the diner classics and The Stick found that everyone wanted more, and they weren’t shy about asking. Based on customers’ requests, the bakery added to the menu.

When they added breakfast, they realized they were perceived less as a bakery and more as a diner.

Today, The Cinnamon Stick offers breakfast all day long, featuring omelets, pancakes and traditional plates with eggs and potatoes. Maintaining its roots as a bakery, The Stick continues serving up warm cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, and quiches made with their flakey crust. Diners can also enjoy burgers, sandwich melts, subs, salads, gyros, and other classic American diner options. Even the prices are traditional — everything is $7 or less.

Comfort food

This tastes-like-home bakery offers familiar comforts of a family kitchen.

Settling at a table in the dining area, we picked up a board game from the table. The fresh chicken pot pies and open face roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes were appealing but the bacon cheeseburger and grilled chicken sandwich— only six dollars each— won our order. The portion matched the price, modest but filling, with a satisfying taste No trip to The Cinnamon Stick is complete without a slice of pie. After careful deliberation, we decided on slices of the Pecan and the PeachRaspberry Pies. Despite being full from our meal, we chose a few items from the bakery cases to take home.

While we don’t typically succumb to sweets, sweet additions are a specialty at The Cinnamon Stick.

Mid-Century Marvel

Vibrant surprise in the Perrysburg historic district

By Athena Cocoves Originally a 1950s brick ranch, this home was transformed in 2015 into the Silver Lining House, a tranquil, light-filled, mid-century inspired marvel. To transform the house, owner Nicholas Hall worked with MacPherson Architects, explaining “they are local, so they appreciate the history of Perrysburg but they also worked with the vision I had for the space I wanted to create.”

“Many people think that historic means ‘old,’ but it really is meant to convey relevance to a time period. I wanted to create a home that, if it had been built in the 50s, would be considered historically relevant today,” says Hall.

This four bedroom, three and a half bath beauty is spacious, vibrant, and surprising in a neighborhood filled with charming, much older, cottage-style homes. Large rooms filled

The Norma Stark Memory Garden and Labyrinth is designed to be a sanctuary for peace, prayer, meditation, and healing.

Energy-efficient flooring, over 1,000 square feet of glass, high-gloss cabinet and closet finishes and tall gallery walls are just a few of the contemporary features that make this modern home.

Hall’s design nods to his fascination with architecture’s effect on the way we live: “I wanted to create a home that fits with the way today’s modern family lives while also being sensitive to the environment and appreciating the vibrant, in-town community.”

The home is available for rental through Airbnb.
