‘Community Voices’ meetings planned

hen Toledo Free Press began publishing almost six months ago, the gist of our mission and promise was this: We offer a voice for people who normally ﬁnd themselves ignored, intimidated or misinterpreted by the media. This approach has allowed us to be a conduit for people and personalities as wide-ranging as a drug addict who conquered some hard truths to a millionaire coin dealer who apparently has a hard time telling the truth. No regrets; we promised an experiment, and while our new project has not been perfect, the results have been compelling and forced other local print media to respond in ways subtle and glaring. As we continue to try new ideas, yet maintain our original vision, we want to go one step further than offering you a newspaper in which to share your stories; we want to

Michael S. Miller bring the newspaper to you. On Sept. 2, Toledo Free Press, along with www. toledotalk.com, will sponsor a rotating series of monthly “Community Voices” forums. No pre-determined topics. No forced themes. Just you, your neighbors, a tape recorder and a couple of hours to talk. Some generous local businesses have offered to open their doors (and coffee makers) for us to meet with you in an informal setting designed to bring unexplored issues to the forefront. The format is simple: We’ll meet

you in a corner of the restaurant, turn on the tape recorder and listen as you tell us, and the Northwest Ohio community, what is on your mind. What issues are defining or defiling your neighborhood? You are welcome to air your complaints, but we hope to record a constructive conversation that will provide insight to city leaders and Toledo Free Press readers. We’ll collect tales good and bad, story ideas and general feedback. In the next week’s issue, we’ll report what you said, as you said it. The first “Community Voice” meeting has been scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Sept. 2 at Dave’s HomeCooked Foods, 1855 S. Reynolds Rd. The meetings will rotate throughout our Lucas and Wood counties distribution area. We are striving to practice community journalism as defined by editor Ken Byerly: “Journalism with an intensely local focus.” Toledo Free Press is part of a

strong national trend toward free weekly tabloid newspapers that are dedicated to scaling down coverage areas to emphasize neighborhood news. We believe in civic journalism, the practice of providing information that helps readers become more informed and active citizens. The Community Voices forums are the boldest manifestation of our belief that Toledo Free Press can affect the community in a way that “old media” such as The Blade chooses not to do and niche publications are not equipped to do. We hope to meet you and begin a new tradition of cooperation between the community and the media. If you would like to host an upcoming forum, please contact me and open the discussion.

COMMON SENSE

Tall tales from the campaign trail

“Even in a jobless recovery, we have created jobs in Toledo, thousands of jobs. Just last week we talked about Costco coming.” — Toledo Mayor Jack Ford, Aug. 18, 2005

o, that’s not a misprint, nor is it a misquote. At last week’s initial get-together for Toledo’s mayoral candidates, the ﬁrst accomplishment Mayor Ford listed when discussing his record of job creation was … something that has not yet been accomplished. Well, at least they have indeed talked about Costco coming to Westgate. And considering Ford’s real record of job creation, citing things that might someday happen in the city is about as good as it gets for him. Just five days ago, the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services released the latest state unemployment figures. Turns out our state continues to grow in job performance, as the unemployment rate was down from 6.2 percent in July of 2004 to just 5.7 percent in July of this year. Those numbers mirror the growth made in the national employment figures, which show an unemployment rate of just 5 percent. So it looks like Ford’s “jobless recovery” reference is full of — well — jobs. But not here. Despite Ohio’s falling unemployment rate of 5.7 percent, the Toledo continues to post one of the highest numbers in the state at 7.6 percent. But how can that be? After all, Ford says Toledo has added “thousands” of jobs since his administration has run the city. Or has it? Let’s take a trip in the Wayback Machine, to Sept. 2, 2004, when Ford went to New York City and told the nation the following: “In Toledo, Ohio, we have dealt with a 10 percent unemployment rate. That equates to 16,000 jobs lost in the last four years.” Wow — you’ve got to give the mayor credit for one thing: It takes a lot of courage to admit

Bob Frantz to the rest of the country that you’ve failed to help your city rebound along with the rest of the nation. Well, except for the fact that the mayor wasn’t admitting anything. He was in New York to protest at the Republican National Convention that President Bush was the man responsible for those 16,000 lost jobs in Toledo. You see, in Ford’s world, we are supposed to believe that President Bush sat in his Oval Ofﬁce and devised a plan to grow the economy and create jobs for Americans in every city — except Toledo. Toledo’s failure to create jobs at the rate of the rest of Ohio has nothing to do with the mayor’s anti-business policies, Ford reasons, so it must be the fault of the Republican president. I would pay an economist to explain to me how a president could wreak so much havoc on a single American city while simultaneously improving the employment rate of the rest of the nation. “As mayor of the great city of Toledo, I have seen ﬁrst-hand the impact the last four years have had on our working families,” Ford told a cheering crowd in Boston last July. “The middle class and those families who strive to make it to the middle class can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.” Sounds ominous. And confusing. Because a mere eight months after that grim evaluation of his city, Ford declared on March 21 that

You see, in Mayor Ford’s world, we are supposed to believe that President Bush sat in his Oval Ofﬁce and devised a plan to grow the economy and create jobs for Americans in every city — except Toledo.” “We’ve become a model for economic progress by adding more than 2,800 new jobs in the past three years!” Huh? It’s entirely possible, of course, that the mayor’s conﬂicting statements on Toledo’s desperate, jobless economy and its simultaneous status as a “model for economic progress” are just a series of misunderstandings. Perhaps the “16,000 jobs lost” and the “2,800 jobs added” peculiarity can be easily explained to Toledo residents and employees. It would only be fair for us to just ask Ford during the next Meet the Mayor Night, which should be scheduled for some time this week. After all, Ford promised on January 25, during his State of the City address that, “In an effort to better serve you — Meet the Mayor Night will be held weekly in 2005.” You have seen him weekly, haven’t you? Oh, wait — it looks like the last meeting was on June 15. And in April before that. Who woulda thunk it: the mayor counts weeks the same way he counts jobs? Bob Frantz hosts “Bob Frantz and the Morning News” each weekday on WSPD 1370 AM. He may be contacted by e-mail at letters@toledofreepress.com.

OPINION

August 24, 2005

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Armory discord TO THE EDITOR, I read the Aug. 17 article in Toledo Free Press, “Armory renovation could offer housing.” It really makes me sick to see how twisted this story gets. I had the money to rebuild the armory, the city wanted to see it up front (unprecedented) they also wanted control for five years. Everyone I hired had to meet with their approval; minorities had to be used. If we did not meet certain dates, they could take it back and I would lose everything. They also had to approve who I rented space to. Roger Homrich wants a condo and a place to dock his boat. He has no clue what to do with that building. He asks for ideas. The city made me submit drawings of the finished armory, which cost me $35,000. What the city has allowed to happen is a disgrace to our historical past. More people like Al Crawford should be screaming. If we would have taken the building it would be done by now. My friend Don Baumgardner had the cash to finish the project. The building would be restored and open to the public. Homrich has offered to sell the building for $500,000. What a slap in the face. I spent a total of $71,000 and have nothing; he has not spent a dime. He is a demolition man, not a developer. JERRY THOMPSON, Toledo

Frantz and cell phones TO THE EDITOR, I am a frequent listener of Bob Frantz’s program on WSPD and read his Toledo Free Press columns with interest. However, he did not thoroughly convince me that restricting cell phone use while driving is not a wise course (“Driven to distraction while driving,” Aug. 17). Yes, idiot drivers aren’t making good decisions and there are many other distractions at fault also. But I have been endangered countless times lately while driving around the city, and the common demoninator is a cell phone attached to the perpetrator’s ear. Abrupt lane changes by cell phone drivers have twice forced me off the road completely; I have been cut off by vans, tailgated by people who seem not to even notice my car is present. Something has to change and evidently asking for voluntary sensible cell phone usage is not having an effect. I would welcome a change in our laws. JUDITH SCHREINER, Toledo

Savage nicknames TO THE EDITOR, I got a kick out of the column by Michael S. Miller in the Aug. 10 Toledo Free Press regarding renaming the UT nickname. He points to the fact that too

Richard Byersmith

k o o o r n b i y f d n o o o t t o r o S w n P e r W

many individuals get carried away with this kind of convoluted thinking, such as the NCAA’s recent idiocy regarding nicknames of teams that bear Indian references — Braves, Redskins, Warriors, etc. It seems that only the idiot cadre and pseudo-Indian fringe groups worry about such trivial matters. Having spent some time on both a Lakota Reservation and a Navajo Reservation, I have heard from the real Indians. They are proud of such nicknames for sports teams. If UT is going to fall in line with the NCAA’s blithering regarding name changes, will they have to rename “Savage” Hall? FRED NOFZIGER, Maumee

Bad bargain TO THE EDITOR, My spouse and I want to put an addition on our home. We need a larger kitchen and third bedroom. I want to request a taxincrement financing plan from the city. Everyone should take advantage of this plan. Jeep got this deal from the city! The city leaders are planning to turn the old dump site into a Jeep storage lot. The city leaders offered DaimlerChrysler Jeep tax increment financing to pay for the improvements necessary to accommodate a new parking lot. This sounds like a good deal, but what is the deal really going to cost Toledoans? To understand what the total costs of the Jeep expansion will entail, one must understand “taxincrement financing.” A quick Web search helped me understand that tax increment financing is really a euphemism for tax abatements. The city is going to let DaimlerChrysler Jeep divert its property taxes to pay for the improvements, like a bridge and pavement for parking 5,000 new vehicles. What do the citizens get from the deal? One clue as to the costs was the presence of TPS school board at $9.75 million project site dedication. The school board was present because they signed off on this tax abatement plan. That means Toledoans get to pay a larger share of the tax burden for our schools. I am not opposed to economic development, especially for an important employer like Jeep, but Toledoans need to understand the total costs of a tax abatement. How many TPS teachers are we going sacrifice at the altar of “economic development” and costly tax abatements to large corporations? How many children will suffer as a result? What kind of economy are we really developing? It’s a bad bargain. It’s a social trap that leaves us all scratching our heads and gnawing on our legs trying to figure out how to break free.

The three soldiers, who lived in a two-car garage in town, even adopted a dog and her litter of puppies. This after Drake slept on the ﬂoor before his deployment with his aunt’s 150-pound rescued rottweiler, Zeek, for two weeks,

carrying the dog outside when he needed to go outdoors. The two have forged a strong bond over the years, and Drake said he and his aunt plan on getting Zeek trained as a therapy dog and visiting army veterans at VA hospitals. “Dogs, kids and seniors were

SPOTLIGHT

Support speeds Drake recovery, homecoming By Zach Silka Special to Toledo Free Press

Sitting in his wheelchair in early January, Matthew Drake uttered his first word — a crude, guttural, but convincing, “No!” — while a physical therapist attempted to help him stand. Private First Class Drake, a 21-year-old Toledo native and graduate of Northview High School, was critically injured in a suicide car bombing in Iraq’s Anwar Province near the Syrian border Oct. 15, 2004. Four people died in the explosion, which left Drake with numerous life-threatening injuries. The attack left Drake in a coma with a fractured skull, fractured vertabrae, a collapsed lung, first-, second- and third-degree burns, open mandible fractures, two broken collar bones, a broken sternum, a broken right arm, a broken eyesocket and shrapnel embedded in his face, neck, throat and arms. After months of rehabilitation in hospitals all over the world, Drake is making “miraculous” progress while receiving treatment at a Veterans’ Administration nursing home in Ann Arbor. Doctors tell his family he may be able to return home as soon as October, near the one-year anniversary of the attack. “He’s an unbelievable miracle,” aunt Linda Marie Domini said. Before Drake can return home, several modifications need to be performed, including equipping his house with railings, wider doorways, ramps and bathroom alterations. Under the direction of Sean and Carolyn Savage, who had no prior relationship with Drake or his family, the Matthew’s Independence Day Project is working to make Drake’s homecoming a reality. This local version of “Extreme Home Makeover” commenced Aug. 14. It includes an 850-square-foot addition, nearly doubling the size of the small ranch home of Drake’s mother, Lisa Schuster, 5911 Brainard Drive in Sylvania. The project is scheduled to be completed in October in time for Drake’s arrival. “It’s awesome. I didn’t know people could be so kind,” Drake said Friday during a visit to his aunt’s Perrysburg home. “Before I went to war, I wasn’t sure what the future would be like. But now, I think it will be OK.”

Drake speaks slowly, with a slight impediment due to severe brain trauma, but projects his thoughts with upright strength, overshadowing the lingering effects of his ordeal.

Linda Marie Domini and Matthew Drake discuss the groundbreaking for the homeimprovement project; Domini looks at a picture of Drake with Drew Savage. we thought it was a real obligation on our part and a community obligation to help.”

Call to service

Following his high school graduation and shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Drake said he felt compelled to serve his country — and more importantly to him, to protect his younger siblings, Heather and Michael. “I wanted my brother and sister to have a certain future,” Drake said. “I was thinking about what they would go through if I didn’t go to ﬁght.” Drake enlisted in the Army on Oct. 13, 2002. Following training, he was assigned to Special Forces Bravo Company and sent to Iraq on Sept. 7, 2004, two days after turning 21. Six weeks into his tour in Iraq with the Army Psychological Operations unit based at Fort Bragg, N.C., Drake’s life changed forever. While Drake was driving his 6-ton armored truck near the town of Qaim, a suicide car bomber executed an attack as

part of a series of bombings in the province on the ﬁrst day of the Muslim religious holiday of Ramadan. Two other psychological operations soldiers were killed, along with a Marine and an Iraqi translator, with whom Drake had become good friends. Drake and his translator, who was known as A.D., shared long talks about each other’s faith and families, and their contrasting backgrounds. “It was awesome. He was not what I expected,” Drake said. As part of the psychological operations unit, Drake and his two partners would serve as peacekeepers in the area, conversing with residents and playing with children. “It was tough at ﬁrst, trying to get used to it,” Drake said. “Men were against us all the way. The women were told by their husbands to stay away, so we were pretty much outcasts. “We tried to be a good person to everyone, whether they deserved it or not.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Savage prayers

The idea for the project came from the Savage’s 10-year-old son, Drew Savage. He and his classmates prayed regularly for Drake in their fourth grade class at St. Joseph School in Sylvania. Drew’s teacher, Nancy Plenzler, would keep the class up-to-date on Drake’s condition and progress, and any time there was a news story about him, she would share it with the class and pray for him. After hearing that Drake would soon return home, Drew decided he wanted to do something to help. The Savage family contacted the Drake family, and they met at Drew’s birthday party that same month. “We came out of that meeting with the goal of doing what we can to help with whatever he needs and the family needs as he continues his recovery,” said Sean Savage, ﬁnancial planner with Savage & Associates. “We developed a theme and a campaign to raise money and also to put together a core group of people that could help with building an addition onto his home.” Four area builders and nearly 50 companies donated materials and labor to complete the home renovation. They include Chuck Barchick of Barchick Custom Homes, Inc.; Tim and Brian Gruber of Ridge Stone Builders; Jim Moline of James E. Moline Builders Inc.; and Mike White of Buckeye Specialty Homes. The construction has been broken down into four phases, with each being led by a different builder. “We believe anytime you can give back to the community, that’s what it’s all about,” Brian Gruber said. “The cool thing with this project is that he’s an incredible kid but the family is very neat [also]. It’s been a lot of fun and very rewarding to work with them.” Sean Savage said the project, which already has raised $60,000 for Drake’s recovery, is a token of gratitude for what Drake did serving his country. “He was serving the United States, serving our community, by putting himself in harm’s way in Iraq,” he said. “He really sacriﬁced tremendously for everybody, and

7 speech therapy everyday. To aid his recovery, Drake has established goals for himself. “I need to get back on my feet, go back to school a little bit, get a job,” Drake said. “Just stuff like that. Just everyday stuff.” While he still has some work to do on his balance, walking and personal-care routines, Drake is making rapid progress. But he is careful not to be too overconﬁdent in his long journey back to leading as close to a normal life as possible. “One thing I’ve learned is how to be humble,” Drake said. When asked if he would still go to Iraq if he could do it all over again, his answer is “Of course, in a heartbeat,” Drake said. “If I don’t go over and do it, who else will?” If you would like to contribute to the Matthew’s Independence Day Project or send him a letter, visit: www. matthewsindependenceday.com

Martin Okonski: ‘OK For Mayor’ Editor’s Note: Toledo Free Press is interviewing all seven mayoral candidates who have ﬁled petitions with the Board of Elections (Opal Covey (July 27), Carty Finkbeiner (Aug. 3), Don Gozdowski (Aug. 10), Rob Ludeman (Aug. 17), Martin Okonski, Keith Wilkowski and Jack Ford). We will proﬁle one candidate per week up to the Sept. 13 primary election. Each of the candidates will answer a series of standard questions, but the conversations will also include other topics the mayoral hopefuls see as important for Toledo voters.

Martin Okonski looked out over the Maumee River from an East Side restaurant and discussed his view for Toledo’s future. “The Marina District gives us a great opportunity to attract different types of people to the city,” he said. “Most of the local politicians do not understand the importance of this plan.” Okonski said the district, however, must be modified. “We need to add floating piers to attract the largest yachts,” the former sailor said. “A marina district with only stationary piers on the shore will not accommodate some of the luxury vessels.” On his qualifications to be mayor: The candidate said his 20 years in the U.S. Navy make him distinctively qualified for the city’s top job. “I am a strong leader and have demonstrated that leadership in the military,” he said of his role as a first class petty officer on ships such as the USS Saipan. Okonski said his experience in the Navy

a balanced budget, Okonski nonetheless said the next mayor’s focus must be on job growth. “The only way this city will turn around is by aggressively seeking out businesses to relocate here,” he said. “When job growth occurs, everything else falls into place.” The candidate said he is especially concerned about diversifying the local economy. “The city is too dependent upon the auto industry,” he said, adding his administration would focus on attracting high-tech companies. “When a recession hits, Toledo is one of the ﬁrst to suffer and one of the last to recover.” On lowering crime rates: Okonski said intervention is an important part of the process of reducing crime in Toledo. “We need to bring boot-camp programs for teenage offenders,” he said, adding that the Navy uses similar programs for troublemakers. “If they spent a few intense weeks in a program designed to change behaviors, we could turn some of these kids around and lower crime.” On how he sees the media: Okonski said his administration would make every effort to be accessible to the media, while pointing out a certain irony in his current relationship with the media. “I have received a few calls from some media outlets, but no one besides Toledo Free Press has actually met with me yet in person,” he said. “I hope that changes as we get closer to the election, because it’s almost as if the media makes decisions about who the voters get to see.” On public transportation: The candidate said improving the region’s mass transit is an important step in helping Toledo move ahead.

“The most successful cities are able to efficiently move large numbers of people in and out of the Downtown area,” he said. “Toledo’s growth will be slowed by its inadequate mass-transit system. Okonski said a first step would be to build a non-stop monorail system linking Downtown and Southwyck. “Commuters from the southern and western suburbs would be able to park at Southwyck and rapidly travel Downtown,” he said, citing the example of Washington, D.C. “As the system grows, other parts of the city could link up.” On his decision to run for mayor: Okonski said that, for the city to move ahead, voters should consider an independent candidate. “The career politicians have got us where we are today,” he said. “I am giving the people a choice for real change from someone who is not in debt to special interests.” On regional growth: The candidate said Toledo would benefit from a regional approach to growth. “Lake Erie West gives a global address to the region,” he said of the promotional organization. “Despite all of our transportation and infrastructure advantages, we have not properly advertised to the world to lure major companies to Toledo, and the best way to do that is by recognizing that we are part of a larger region.” On his future appointments: Okonski said there is one important quality that any appointees would have in his administration. “Experience is the one characteristic I will look for,” he said. “As an independent, I don’t have to be limited to choosing talented people from just one party.”

also exposed him to “half the world” and gives him an advantage over some of his Toledo opponents. “I lived for over two years in Italy and over four years in Iceland,” he said. “My travels to places like Croatia and Spain give me a much different perspective on how to market Toledo and lure businesses here.” On the location of a new sports arena: Okonski is adamant a new sports arena belongs on the East Side. “The voters approved a ballot initiative that called for an east side location,” he said. “Politicians are now trying to use loopholes to justify a different location, claiming that voters only approved the spending of money on infrastructure, but everyone knows that we voted for a new arena to be on the OKONSKI East Side.” On public schools: The candidate expressed skepticism that taxpayer money is being efﬁciently spent by TPS. “I want to spend time ﬁrst going through the books,” he said. “There seems to be a neverending call for levies, and at the same time the assessments on houses continue to go up.” Okonski said he would also be a mayor who would act as a positive role model for Toledo parents. “I will work hard to promote the idea that parents need to be actively involved in the education of their children,” he said. “All the money in the world will not educate a child with parents who are disinterested.” On the city budget: While a believer in

DEVELOPMENT

Downtown revitalization on the move By Edward Slack Special to Toledo Free Press

“We’re beginning to see the shape of some pieces of the Downtown Toledo Master Plan coming in,” said Peter Garforth, vice chairman of Downtown Toledo Inc., and President of Garforth International. Having traveled throughout the world, formerly as vice-president of strategy with Owens Corning, Garforth brings a global perspective to the questions about the health of Downtown now and for the future. Edward Slack: Do you see the core Downtown moving ahead? Peter Garforth: It’s very encouraging because we’re beginning to see the dots connect. We’re seeing some market-rate housing beginning to develop. The ballpark is obviously having a huge impact in the summer months on the Downtown fabric. The key challenge is to bring a good density of housing Downtown. One of the things that has been a challenge for Toledo is a very small group of enthusiasts in various parts of the Downtown core trying to keep development inertia going, various community development committees, and various interest groups. There’s been a real challenge of competing

with each other rather than looking at the relatively small Downtown, and developing that in an integrated way. We need to be celebrating the pieces of organic growth, like the St. Clair Village beginning to look like a little urban village, the River West Apartments looking like a little urban housing development while the others were fully sold out, and Manhattan’s Restaurant on Adams Street beginning to be a destination to that part of the Downtown. ES: Does provincial thinking hinder Downtown revitalization? PG: There’s a huge danger of the big city/small city GARFORTH snobbery, or the European view of the world and the American view of the world, and so on. That can be nonproductive because it can rapidly create defensive arguments. We need to be more open to a variety of possibilities including some which some of us may never have experienced if we even think of Toledo in its earlier days. It had a very good light rail system, which was completely

eliminated, which means that there is an entire generation that has never used light rail. Is that something that may come back to Toledo? It could. The trick is now that it’s not a case of provincialism. It’s a case of what are people open to looking at. ES: Is there some consideration for putting in light rail? PG: This is more than consideration. There has been a process managed by the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) called the Regional Core Circulator Study. Conclusions have been drawn as to where light rail potentially could be valuable; where extensions in the future as the density of the city grows could be useful. This has been a public process, and I strongly support it. This is another example of where Toledo needs to stop planning and start implementing. ES: Is this 10 or 20 years off? PG: It could be a candidate for some form of federal core funding, and it could be a lot faster than that to see things starting. We have the Downtown Master Plan for the city; let’s get on with it. Let’s stop replanning and getting together with another consultant to basically come and tell us the same thing. With the TMACOG Regional

Core Circulator Study, it’s there, it’s been done and it’s well-researched. ES: What incentive do you offer to potential investors? PG: We always end up with the same answer to that question as long as people are not living here, it’s very hard to make retail pay. You can have as many conventions as you like, but most people, when they come to a convention, they come to the convention. They don’t come here to go shopping. As a Londoner, the example I always give is what we politically incorrectly call the Indian grocer. In the 1960s and 1970s when large parts of London were revitalizing partly as post-war reconstruction where the city was very badly bombed, economic demographics were moving around. Very frequently, the ﬁrst retail that really supported the revitalization was the small 20-hour grocer who would open very early in the morning, close very late at night, and be run by a single family, frequently, in the case of London, from India or Pakistan. In New York, you see the same thing with the Vietnamese, the Koreans and so on. This is, I think, the phase we see beginning in Downtown Toledo.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Self-analysis tool matches color choices with trends From Staff Reports

What do your blue eyes, love of the English countryside and smell of freshly peeled oranges have to do with the colors of your home? Quite a lot, according to representatives at Pittsburgh Paints, developer of a new Voice of Color paint and color-design system. The Voice of Color system is built on the premise that every color has an emotional association and individuals are drawn to different colors for reasons inherently tied to their unique personalities. “Recent behavioral studies indicate that people are searching for an emotional connection to the choices they make,” said Josette Buisson, artistic director at Pittsburgh Paints. “They want their decisions to better reﬂect their individuality. The Voice of Color creates an individual color identity based on that person’s psychological and behavioral make-up.” This provides meaning and inspires conﬁdence in their color decisions. Buisson said studies show consumers are seeking more meaning from the products and services they pur-

chase. To fill this need, manufacturers and marketers are providing tools that allow consumers to be co-creators of these products and services, delivering a more relevant buying and using experience. “The frustration so many of us feel in regard to color selection doesn’t come from a lack of choice,” said Tom Dougherty, marketing manager of Pittsburgh Paints. “It can be argued that the abundance of available colors adds to the frustration when people are trying to make their color decisions. It’s not more colors people want, it’s an understanding and acknowledgement that the choices they make — or want to make — reflect who they are. This understanding breeds confidence.” The starting point of the Voice of Color system is the Color Sense Game (www.voiceofcolor.com), researchbased analysis that helps users gain an understanding of their color preferences on a psychological level. Participants of the Color Sense Game respond to a number of questions on color influencers such as emotion, the five senses, dreams and core personality. “Manufacturers and other influencers have traditionally dictated color selection for consumers,” said Buisson,

Toledo didn’t exactly celebrate in May when Owens-Illinois, Inc. announced it would move its international headquarters from Downtown to Perrysburg. But the Glass City’s future isn’t looking as grim as some may think. “It’s not necessarily a good thing, but when a private sector decides that this is best for them, there’s not much a committee can do,” said Bill Carroll, director of economic development for Toledo. “We had offered incentives; we did an awful lot of things to try and make sure that Owens-Illinois kept us their home ... and [Steve McCracken] the chairman there wanted to do something different. That’s his prerogative.” As the company prepared for the expiration of its lease in September 2006, it began looking at options where all of its employees could be united, said Kelley Yoder, corporate communications for O-I. “We recently divested our blowCARROLL molded plastic containers business in October 2004, which resulted in an empty building at Levis Development Park, where we already have more than 500 employees,” she said. O-I is working on a cultural transformation to become a more global company, Yoder said. “Having all of our employees in one campus setting really supports the transformation agenda and our cultural change of becoming one O-I,” she said. The first set of employees will begin moving into Levis during the second quarter of 2006; no jobs are being cut in the process, Yoder said. O-I has more than 300 employees working AT One SeaGate, occupying about eight floors, she said. The move will leave a temporary hole Downtown, but Carroll said filling it won’t be a problem: “It is a very beautiful building on the river, the inside is great; it’s one of the few Class A office spaces in Downtown Toledo, so we don’t have to market it hard. It shows well.” Carroll said because the city knows about the move more than a year in advance, they have more time to attract other businesses to the building. The city had been promoting One SeaGate prior to O-I’s decision due to empty space in the building, he said. It is important not only to fill what O-I is leaving, but to keep the current tenants, of which there are about 25, Carroll said. All tenants have expressed interest in staying, and one has signed with the landlord to do so, he added. “The key for us is to keep a vibrant Downtown to make sure the people are here stay, and we can attract new ones,” Carroll said. “We don’t like seeing them moving out, but I’d much rather see them move 20 miles away than going to Arkansas or Mississippi.” Many of the employees making the move to Perrysburg will remain Toledo residents and will pay city tax, “so there’s not a complete loss for the city,” Carroll said.

As for other companies leaving Downtown, he said he is not worried. “Corporations Downtown are doing very well and treasure Downtown ... we’ve got a lot of businesses that are growing.” Owens Corning worked with Mayor Jack Ford to stay Downtown when the company was facing bankruptcy, said John Loftis, special assistant to the mayor. “People lose sight of that and emphasize that OwensIllinois is going out,” Loftis said. “They tend to forget that other companies are staying and expanding Downtown.”

Impact on Downtown

While it’s not positive for the city to see O-I move, the employees will have advantages, such as having everyone in one location, said Heather Lane, an information technology controls analyst at O-I who has worked in the Toledo office for 15 years. Lane said she and other employees frequently travel to the Levis offices for meetings with employees, but travel time will be nearly eliminated next year. “We’ll be right there and we just have to walk over to another building and do what we need to do,” she said. “It’s going to be a huge benefit that way.” The commute to work will be a little longer, Lane, who lives in Toledo, said, but that is outweighed by the positives. Lane is one of the 91 percent of O-I headquarters employees who drive to work, according to a company-issued survey. The cost for her to park Downtown is about $70 per month — a fee that will be eliminated when the company moves to Levis, Lane said. The perks of working Downtown, such as the waterfront and the view from One SeaGate, will be missed, Lane said, but Levis has a lot to offer. “We’ve got the campus atmosphere that they’re building for us ... and there’s a lot of stuff happening over there with all the stores,” Lane said. “So you’ve still got a lot of things you can do.” With employees moving out, Carroll said local restaurants will be affected. Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches is busiest during the weekday lunch rush with the local employees on lunch breaks, said Rick Roach, assistant manager. The restaurant is located at 405 Adams St., one block from O-I’s current headquarters. “I can’t really say how big of an effect it’s going to have. It probably won’t be too big, but it might be something we do notice,” Roach said. “Maybe a gradual slowdown in business, but not to a point where we actually see much of a drop.” The restaurant delivers to One SeaGate often, but not just to O-I, he added. About 85 percent of Bellacino’s Pizza and Grinders’ business is the lunch rush, said Tony Volpi, one of the owners. The restaurant is located at 513 Adams St., two blocks west of One SeaGate. Volpi said he is planning to attract more customers on nights and weekends by possibly purchasing a liquor license to help make up for the loss of business when

O-I moves. With new attractions coming into Downtown such as the steamplant condominiums and talk of an amphitheater, Carroll said the plan to keep Downtown vibrant is working. “[It’s] keeping people and attracting people, and that’s what we’ve gotta do,” he said. “We can’t sit and say ‘what did we do wrong?’ when a chairman has a strategy that he wants to follow. That’s what they do. We are bringing more people in Downtown. People are coming Downtown to live, and they’re going to eat here and Please see O-I, page 18

THEATER

UT plans ‘courageous’ season of film, theater “Conflict, Courage & Compassion: Our World on Stage and Film” is the theme for the 200506 season at the University of Toledo’s Department of Theatre and Film. The season starts Aug. 26, with a showing of “The Price of Aid,” a documentary about the network of American aid agencies involved in the third-world hunger business. The film is part of the Department’s Sub-Saharan Film Festival, which continues with “Adanggaman” (Ivory Coast) on Sept. 30 “Waiting for Happiness” (Mauritania) on Oct. 28. The series concludes on Dec. 2 with “Moolaadé,” a “surprisingly humorous” award-winning drama from Senegal about a woman in a West African village who provides a safe harbor for young girls fleeing ritual circumcision. One of the department’s newest faculty members also is from sub-Saharan Africa: visiting Assis-

tant Professor Dramane Deme of Burkina Faso (via BGSU) will teach this fall in the fast-growing film program, which has added 64 new students, up from 120 last year. Another film event for this fall is the Madcat Women’s International Film Festival Tour on Sept. 9, a collection of serious, humorous and experimental films by women all over the world. All films from both festivals will be shown in the Center for Performing Art’s Lab Theatre at 7 p.m. A

$3 donation is suggested. A Sept. 29 one-man show by Hungarian actor/director/producer Tibor Varszegi, part of the department’s new partnership with the University of Debrecen, will culminate in performances by UT students at festivals in Hungary next May. Holly Monsos, interim Chairwoman of the Department of Theatre and Film, said, “Our season celebrates the resilience of the human spirit. Through performances, film screenings, symposiums and master classes, we will explore the courage it takes to stand up to that which we believe to be wrong, the conflict that inevitably arises from divergent beliefs, and the compassion and understanding that is required to find a way beyond the conflict to future harmony. It’s a very exciting season.” Fall performances include two topical recent works: “The Women of Lockerbie” (based on the true story of a terrorist bombing of a flight over Scotland) opens Oct. 18 and will be staged

��

in a style that suggests ﬁlm and Greek tragedy. “Homebody/Kabul” is Tony Kushner’s pre-9/11 drama about a woman obsessed with Afghanistan. It opens Nov. 4 and will be directed by New York director Elysa Marden. Former Department Chairwoman Sue Ott Rowlands (now interim dean of the School of Arts and Sciences) will play the Homebody. Several professional training events will be open to the public: New York-based theater consultant and theater career coach David Diamond will visit campus on Sept. 28 to offer advice on a pursuing a career in theatre. Master Steadicam Operator and Emmynominated cinematographer Peter Abraham will offer a seminar on a date yet to be determined. Tickets range from $6 to $12 and are available from the Theatre Box Ofﬁce (419) 530-2375.

Lifehouse to play at Club Bijou By Vicki L. Kroll Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Jason Wade is a prolific songwriter. The Lifehouse singer/guitarist had 50 songs to choose from for the group’s third CD. “I’m a firm believer in not wasting a song. You just wait for the right project,” he said last week from a tour stop in Bloomington, Ind. “It’s funny. We recorded ‘You and Me’ for our second record, but it didn’t fit with the material. And it’s the first single off this record.” And it’s a hit. Another romantic song, “Blind,” will be the next single from “Lifehouse,” released in April. Wade, drummer Rick Woolstenhulme and bassist/singer Bryce Soderberg recorded the disc in Easton, Md., on the Chesapeake Bay. “Our experience of being in the studio was in L.A., where we’re from, but also where the record label is — people were looking over your shoulder,” Wade said. “It usually takes three months to make a record. This was very quick, about five weeks. We woke up every morning to a beautiful view. It was very inspiring. There was no pressure from the label to make singles.” Not that Lifehouse is a stranger to hit singles. “Hanging by a Moment” was the most-played song on radio in 2001, according to Broadcast Data Systems. “It was an amazing time for us playing these huge shows, opening for matchbox 20 and playing

‘Hanging by a Moment’ and having the whole arena singing along with us,” Wade said. The 25-year-old has learned a lot since 2000’s multi-platinum, “No Name Face.” “Keep it about the music and making the records you want to make, not making records to get rich,” he said. “We’ve learned not to take anything for granted. It’s hard to sustain longevity in the music business.” Lifehouse will be at Club Bijou, 209 N. Superior St., at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 29. Rocco DeLuca will open the show. Tickets are $18.50.

Third Rock Your Tarotgram

Almanac By Elizabeth Hazel

and Horoscope Aug. 11 - Aug. 18, 2005

Events: Venus and Jupiter are visible together in the southwest at sunset.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Moods are fancies of shadow and light. Fight for what is right on the 25th - 26th. Explain the reasons behind your intentions. The weekend heightens attractions and personal ties. Good deals and good deeds from the past bring rewards after the 29th.

Libra (September 23-October 22) Practice wish-craft. The substance of your thoughts is particularly powerful during this period. Avoid arguments about stupid issues on the 25th-26th. Your luck and ability to attract what you’ve been seeking magniﬁes after the 29th. Be very clear about intentions.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Enthusiasm attracts new friends. Determination to ﬁnish projects speeds efforts on the 25th - 26th, but missing items slow progress. Enjoy social prospects with friends over the weekend. A tide of success after the 29th beneﬁts both personal desires and career goals.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) Other people’s issues create turbulence. The 25th-26th bring misunderstandings or sheer stupidity that rocks the boat. Correct errors, ﬁx problems over the weekend. The 30th brings good news at the workplace, and a few small changes on the 31st smooth matters at home.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) Good deals are in the making. Mixed messages on the 25th - 26th trigger an emotional roller-coaster ride. The 27th turns luck from bad to good. The quality and stability of relationships improves after the 29th. Shocking news opens eyes on the 31st.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) Your growth curve becomes a race track. Friends/coworkers annoy on the 25th-26th, but the weekend is superb for creative ﬂow and relationships. It gets even better after the 29th, with multiple sources of luck, triumph, and good news - if you can keep up.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) The quality of life and love is your choice. Unwanted delays ﬁnally are resolved on the 25th-26th. Your home is the center of activity over the weekend, but expect news of a sick relative. Future plans gel as the period ends, with exceptional offers on the 30th.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) Romance or sweetness repairs a bad day. Resolve mix-ups gracefully on the 25th - 26th, as the weekend offers travel or exciting large events. Your career has the potential to flower after the 29th, or produce financial benefits that result from past efforts.

Leo (July 23-August 22) A fork in the road presents crucial choices. Opportunities clash with necessities on the 25th - 26th. Attend cultural or musical events with friends over the weekend, with bonus business networking on the side. Women are the source of good things after the 29th.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) Avoid tricksters or con artists. What you don’t see can get you into trouble on the 25th - 26th. The 27th brings good news from family and friends. A turn-around is possible after the 29th, as advice and generous assistance produce practical and emotional beneﬁts.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) Progress is swift in one area, stalled in another. Personality clashes at work irritate on the 25th - 26th. Seek equilibrium over the weekend; the 27th is especially nice. The give-and-take in primary relationships improves after the 29th, as secrets are revealed.

Feed and nurture loved ones. Family or friends share sad stories as this period begins; you’re a sympathetic conﬁdante. The weekend is fun; good humor lightens dark corners. Personal improvements arrive after the 29th, and spouse/partners prove their worth.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)
