Update: Steel tables 'Joe Wicks Way' decision; activist Scott threatens June 1 protest marchWritten by John P. McCartney | | firstname.lastname@example.com
UPDATE: In reaction to what he called an unanticipated "vitriol and divisive" reaction, Councilman Steve Steel says he plans to table the ordinance he proposed May 8 to rename a Downtown intersection in honor of Joe Wicks.
Steel made the proposal as a way to honor Wicks' activism the early 1990's in which he promoted AIDS awareness, prevention and treatment.
The response of downtown business owners, however, was quick and harsh, as Councilman Steve Sarantou received 23 emails in protest of the intersection renaming proposal in the first 15 hours following the City Council meeting. Business owners took intense issue with what they all referred to as Wicks' failure to maintain his property at Caesar's Show Lounge, formerly located at 725 Jefferson Ave.
Lair Scott, the gay activist who approached Steel with the intersection renaming proposal, says he's not at all surprised with what he called "a homophobic overreaction to honoring Toledo's gay icon."
On the same day Barack Obama became the first United States president to endorse same-sex marriage, an activist accused the City of Toledo of being unresponsive to the gay community.
Gay rights activist Lair Scott warned City Council members that if they don't approve the naming of a Downtown intersection in honor of the late Joe Wicks, "the people of Toledo will hear the voices of the gay community screaming at the top of their lungs."
Scott's warning comes in response to City Council's May 8 decision to postpone a vote to name the intersection at the 100 block of Erie Street, which lies between Monroe Street and Jefferson Avenue, as "Joe Wicks Way."
Wicks owned Caesar's Show Bar, located at 725 Jefferson Ave. Caesar's was known nationally as a gay bar and lounge with nightly performances by female impersonators.
Scott said he is "forewarning" City Council that a protest in which he has "invited thousands of gay and lesbian people from around the country" to participate is planned for noon, June 1 at One Government Center [located at 640 Jackson St.].
Scott said he chose the "Joe Wicks Way" proposal as a vehicle through which he could advocate for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender [LGBT] Toledoans.
Councilman Steve Steel, who introduced the resolution at the City Council meeting, said he doesn't "personally believe Lair Scott came to me to get his march started. I believe it's more coincidental than that."
Other Council members said they are neither disturbed nor threatened by Scott's warning.
"I'm not concerned that this may have been a nefarious act," Councilman Tom Waniewski said. "I'm more concerned about how we run the government. This never should have seen the light of day. The naming of a street should be a fun, positive thing, and this situation just brings embarrassment to the City of Toledo."
Councilman George Sarantou said opposition to the naming of the intersection has primarily come from Downtown business owners who tell him that recognizing Wicks "in this way is a slap in the face" for Downtown business owners.
Waniewski said business owners accuse Wicks of not maintaining his property, thereby lowering the property value of their businesses.
"The uproar from the business people has been overwhelming," Waniewski said. "They say he was rude to people, that he didn't keep up his property, and that he wouldn't get involved in the association of Downtown business people."
Email uproar
The uproar Waniewski references are 23 emails Sarantou had received as of 2:30 p.m. May 9.
In response to an open records request from Toledo Free Press, Sarantou provided copies of 23 emails he received from business owners in the 15 hours following council's decision to not vote on renaming the intersection (see sidebar, at bottom of page).
The correspondence was directed to Sarantou after Bill Thomas contacted the councilman with concerns over the reaction he was hearing.
Thomas, chief operating officer of the Downtown Toledo Development Corporation and executive director of the Downtown Toledo Improvement District, said that after his discussion with Sarantou, he sent an email to business owners encouraging them to voice their opinions, either pro or con, in emails to Sarantou.
Sarantou said emails have been universally opposed to the renaming of the intersection.
"I'm not surprised at all," Sarantou said. "They are all responsible people. They maintain first-class facilities and are offended that someone who did not maintain his property would be honored in this way."
Waniewski agrees that the business owners' response deserves City Council's attention.
"I have never seen comments so eloquently articulated in such an elegant way about something so negative," he said. "I've never seen such a groundswell of opposition."
Scott said the responses Sarantou and Waniewski are receiving are not representative of Toledo, and that thousands of people would write to City Council in support of Joe Wicks Way if they only knew the intensity of Downtown business owners' negative reactions.
Sarantou also cites business owners' issue with the fact that Wicks did not pay property taxes on time. At the time of his death, April 19, 2010, both the Lucas County Treasurer and the Auditor reported that Wicks owed $30,954.83 in back taxes, and that those taxes have never been paid by Wicks' estate.
In a May 4 email to Sarantou, City of Toledo Commissioner of Building Inspection and Acting Director of the Department of Inspection Chris Zervos wrote, "The misuse and abuse of its last owner, Joe Wick [sic] has rendered the building unusable in its present state."
Waniewski also said the response to City Council's decision to not act is a clear indication that Council must adopt an official policy regarding the naming of streets and intersections.
"This is a big deal," Waniewski said. "We need a process in place by which we're sure we're doing the right thing. Just relying on a councilman's judgment isn't good enough anymore."
Scott said opposition to the proposal has nothing to do with Wicks' upkeep of a building.
Scott is adamant that "this is an issue of social justice. When streets were named for honorary people in the past, did City Council have a need for a policy back then? Why now? It's because of the homophobic attitude of certain City Council members."
Scott also said that he does not believe Waniewski's claim that Council President Joe McNamara and Waniewski have discussed establishing a policy in the past, and are now recommitted to establishing that policy in light of the past days' events.
Steel said he is stunned at the negative reaction.
"I did my research," he said. "I read the Blade obituary, talked to local people. I was aware of the building problems with his business, but I thought Joe's work with, and his legacy and contribution to the gay community with AIDS awareness, AIDS prevention and AIDS treatment back in the early '90s far outweighed everything else.
"I was stunned by the flurry of emails in opposition as to why this would even be proposed in the first place. This is a level of scrutiny I've never seen before."
Scott said Steel's observations are a clear indication that the current scrutiny is discriminatory.
"Why are they concerned with the policies in naming streets for people?" he asked. "Why, all of a sudden, does a gay icon in Toledo have to be under changing policies or procedures? This has nothing at all to do with Caesar's Show Bar. It deals with Joe's legacy and the millions of dollars he brought into Toledo over the past decades."
Sarantou said Steel and Scott do not recognize what he calls "Wicks' true legacy."
Sarantou cited former presidents Richard Nixon and Lyndon Baines Johnson as examples to illustrate
his position.
"Richard Nixon, despite all the good he did in his career, will be remembered for the stupidity of Watergate," Sarantou said. "And LBJ, despite the civil rights legislation he passed, will be remembered for Vietnam, an albatross that will always hang around his neck.
"It's the same case with Joe Wicks. Like it or not, God rest his soul, Joe Wicks has left a reputation as someone who did not maintain his property. That's a fact."
'Lack of leadership'
Scott also cited what he calls Mayor Mike Bell's "lack of leadership" as a mitigating factor in City Council's lack of action.
"I appreciate that he just passed the city employees domestic partnership [ordinance], giving benefits to gay and lesbian partners," Scott said. "But that's not enough. Mayor Bell should follow the footsteps of our president, Barack Obama, and back him for his May 9 statement for equality. Mayor Bell has had an opportunity to be on a board with other mayors of cities in Ohio to assist in passing Ohio's right to same-sex marriage. He was offered and declined."
Bell responded to Scott's accusations through Jen Sorgenfrei, public information officer for the City of Toledo. Sorgenfrei said Scott does not understand the complexities of the legal process.
"In fact, Mayor Bell did not pass anything," Sorgenfrei said. "Domestic partnership is just an ordinance. Mayor Bell just introduced the ordinance. It must be passed. It requires Council approval."
Sorgenfrei also dismissed any claims that Bell does not support all Toledoans. She said Bell is committed to working with the local community.
"The mayor says he was not asked to join a committee of other mayors to assist in the passing of a same-sex marriage act," she said. "He said he was presented a petition of mayors, and he did not sign it. He does not hold a position on same-sex marriage, one way or another. What he does do is continue to engage in conversation with members of our local community."
Sorgenfrei questioned Scott's motives, pointing out that he lives in Chicago, not Toledo, and no longer has roots in the local community.
Scott said he is deeply offended that anyone suggests he may be an outside agitator.
"I left Toledo because of the oppression of Toledo back in 1980," Scott said. "I owe Joe Wicks with my time and my passion for the gay community. Whether I live in Toledo or not doesn't make any difference. A lot of people come into Toledo to do their business. And the gay community is my business."
In August, Scott made national news with a petition, "Let Bert & Ernie Get Married On Sesame Street" on Change.org. It collected 9,000 signatures in two weeks. The Facebook page "Bert and Ernie Get Married" has more than 6,700 fans.
Emails protest Joe Wicks Way
Emails sent to Toledo City Council:
- "I'm unclear why we would be honoring this individual? What specifically did he do during the course of his lifetime that is triggering this action? If it is simply that he was the proprietor of Caesars then I humbly ask how that validates such an honor? If there is more that is behind this initiative, please advise."— Rich Schurfeld, CEO, REDSSON (May 6)
- "This is not appropriate. This individual did not maintain his property in downtown Toledo. How can the city single out this individual? There are so many other people who have been responsible, contributing citizens." — Dennis Johnson, president, Brooks Insurance (May 4)
- "With all of the honorable citizens that have done so much for Toledo I think we could honor them prior to someone who has left buildings in decay creating hazards on our sidewalks. If this is approved I will be joining the ranks to have this repealed." — Glen Blohm, facility manager, SSOE Group (May 4)
- "I am a partner in a property on Ontario St., less than 1.2 block from Jefferson and Ontario — I received the complaints from my tenants because his clientele, lack of concern by him for other businesses and property owners around the neighborhood. … Think we can find better qualified individuals to name streets after." — Ken Marciniak, principal, Signature Associates (May 4)
- "The designation of any public street, park, bridge or other structures is a coveted honor. To preserve the value of such recognitions, this honor should be reserved for a person who advanced the city or specific community through their extensive volunteer efforts or philanthropic work. An entrepreneur whose ingenuity and willingness to take a risk by investing personal assets created a product or service that enhanced the lives of others. This may be an ideal time to establish a 'Criteria of Worthiness' for such honorable designations." — Vickie Rapp, Registry Bistro (May 4)
- "I'm not sure why anyone would want to spend time on this Joe Wicks issue. What did this guy do for the city to warrant attention such as this? We have more important topics to be discussing on behalf of our taxpayers and I believe you will find many who believe this way if they would even give it the time to respond and share their feelings." — Tony Plath, vice president, CBRE | Reichle Klein (May 4)

The Independent
The Berkeley Lady Stags softball team suffered just its second loss of the 2013 season Friday night, falling 9-7 to Stratford.
The Lady Stags, 5-2, as Region 7AAA play begins this week blew a 6-0 first inning lead and could not avenge a regular season opening 15-12 loss to the Lady Knights.
"They're buying in to what we're trying to teach them," said Lady Stags Coach Boogie Grooms. "Their hard work is starting to pay dividends."
Berkeley came into the Stratford game riding a pair of shutouts by Brooklyn Stone, a 2-0 win over West Ashley and a 10-0 thumping of Goose Creek where Stone took a no-hitter into the fifth inning.
In the home half of the first the Lady Stags batted around, sending 10 hitters to the plate in the six-run inning.
With one out, Ashtin Kullnat led off with a base hit up the middle. Stone reached on an error and R.J. Reid walked to load the bases. Kullnat scored Berkeley's first run of the night when Peyton Svagerko reached on an error. After a walk to Blake Ponder forced in a run, Kelston Hilton delivered an RBI single to score Svagerko.
With two-outs Katie Marsch capped the inning with a single, driving in a pair of runs.
The Lady Stags' bats went stone cold after the first inning, mustering just a pair of hits until a seventh inning comeback fell short.
Against Goose Creek on Mar. 11, Stone came within an eyelash of throwing a no-hitter, giving up a pair of singles in the fifth inning as the Lady Stags cruised to a 10-0 shutout.
Berkeley scored four times in the first and three times in the third before Ashtin Kullinat's second double of the night plated the final run.
The Lady Stags open their Region 7AAA schedule against James Island and Hanahan this week.

Movie Description(Click Here To Hide)
Academy award-winning director William Friedkin helms this dark comedy drama/crime thriller, which is written by Tracy Letts and adapted from the Pulitzer Prize winner's play of the same name. The plot concerns a young man by the name of Chris (Emile Hirsch) who panics upon realizing the size of his debt with a drug lord. Without the means to pay and aware his life is in jeopardy, he decides the only solution is to murder his evil mother (played by Gina Gershon) to collect the insurance money. Chris recruits his dad, his mom's ex-husband, to help him with the plan, and together the two hire a hit man by the name of Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey). Interestingly enough, the tough-looking quiet guy is actually a Dallas cop moonlighting as a contract killer. Juno Temple also stars in the role of Dottie, Chris's sister, who unwittingly gets wrapped up in her dad and brother's heinous murder plot.

Since the dawn of mankind humans have looked into the eyes of their animal companions and wondered if they have the same thoughts, emotions and fears as we do.

Cavani reportedly said that he wanted to meet with officials from Napoli to discuss his future after Uruguay's 2-1 defeat by Brazil in the Confederations Cup.
But De Laurentiis has said that there is no need to talk at the current time.
Speaking to the press before the Italian league meeting, De Laurentiis said: "There is no need to have a face to face with Cavani.
"If a club offers €63million, then we would allow him to leave. The release clause will have been activated.
"It's not fair that Cavani has distractions while he is playing in an important tournament like the Confederations Cup.
"Should we receive an offer, then fine. If this offer doesn't arrive, then Cavani will stay in Italy with us."
De Laurentiis did confirm, though, that the only side he had discussed Cavani with was Manchester City.
He added: "The only meeting I've had has been with Manchester City, but the offer was inadequate."

I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.
-Sam Rockwell
Roy will have a punchers chance. Cormier has been dominant, but you can not say that he looks like a damn killer. For example I was way more impressed with Cain when he was making his way to a title shot than I am with Cormier.
Of course Cormier is the huge favorite and I think he should easily dominate Nelson, but this is MMA and we have seen some really crazy upsets over the years.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
White on Nelson's beard: 'I wouldn't want that nasty thing rubbing on my face'
"I don't blame (Cormier)," White told a small group of reporters on Monday in Los Angeles. "I wouldn't want that nasty thing rubbing on my face, either, during the fight."
This past week, according to a report on FOX Sports 1's "UFC Tonight," Cormier (12-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) said he would file a complaint with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to force Nelson (19-8 MMA, 6-4 UFC) to clean up his signature beard.
The Texas commission oversees the pair's bout at UFC 166, which takes place Oct. 19 at Houston's Toyota Center. The main card, including Cormier-Nelson, airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook.
Cormier said the facial hair gives Nelson an unfair advantage in the fight, which could be Cormier's last before a long-discussed potential drop to the light heavyweight division. The winner of the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix, Cormier defeated former champ Frank Mir in his octagon debut, but has targeted a bout with rival Jon Jones for the near future.
"I'm going to request that there's a rubber band in it and that it comes straight down," Cormier said of Nelson's beard. "Also, I'm going to ask that they put his hair in two parts off to the side. Part it down the middle, part it on the sides. I don't want it all in my face."
White agrees, if only in spirit. The UFC executive has never been a fan of Nelson's shaggy appearance, and once told the fighter he should tidy up so as to attract more attention from sponsors.
Nelson, who recently signed a nine-bout contract with the promotion, didn't exactly take the advice to heart. The 37-year-old fighter has made his mullet and beard as much of a signature as his round belly, which White isn't a fan of, either.
"I hate that whole, 'You can grow a beard down to here and still fight in MMA,'" White said. "It's not even allowed in boxing, and they don't go to the ground and have side control.
"Who would want that thing laying on their face? Seriously? That long, nasty, ratty looking thing in your mouth, rubbing on your face ... I mean, it's ridiculous. They shouldn't be allowed to have beards that big. If you want a beard, trim that thing down and make it look normal. Disgusting."
It's unclear if Cormier and White's fight is winnable. TDLR statutes don't specifically address beards or long hair, but rather say contestants "must be clean and present a tidy appearance."
A rep for the TDLR on Tuesday told MMAjunkie.com that Cormier has yet to file a complaint on the matter.
"It may be one of those things that have to be put in there in the future," said Randy Nesbitt, project coordinator with the TDLR, when asked what the commission's standards are on facial and body hair.

Collector Finds Rare Fig in Pennsylvania
Friday, November 08, 2002
The second signed Angus Young of AC/DC figure has been found! When Todd McFarlane visited our Hong Kong production facilities earlier this year, he happened upon a mid-reproduction run of these figures. So he grabbed a couple pens and signed several of the insert cards that go inside the clamshell packaging. He signed a total of 17 cards, which were then cased and sent off to U.S. and international retailers. (For the entire original story, click here.)
Mark Lopez of DuBois, PA, is the second lucky collector to score one of these incredibly rare figures. He found it on the shelf Oct. 20, 2002, in a Spencer Gifts store in Altoona, PA.
Mark's is signed in gold pen and marked "4 of 4."
"I was really, really surprised to find this figure," Mark said.
The rest of his collection consists of the Hanson Brothers figures, KISS stuff and various hockey pieces. He'd like to see us do a set of Aerosmith figures and a Stanley Cup Champions series with Mario Lemieux holding the cup aloft.
Congrats on your find, Mark. Be on the lookout for a gift package from your friends at spawn.com.

"We used the rustic wood look with a fun photo to make a unique new years card. Ours was definitely the most noticed on anyone's mantle - everyone agreed! The inside allowed personalization and our very own year recap which is always great to share and allows our loved ones to keep up with our year. The quality is always fantastic and this year we even signed up for the postage and addressing by Tiny Prints. They were amazingly fast! Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"Easy to create our Christmas card using this card layout. Perhaps just my unfamiliarity with the product but would have liked to have been able to put a text box on the front of the card in front of the pic. We got the glossy print this year (versus matte last year) and much prefer the glossy look. Overall, great product."
"I loved this card! I chose the folded format in glossy paper, and it turned out beautiful. It matched our Christmas photo that had primarily burgundy and red. I suggest using the ink choices that are in default, especially in the front. The wording looks white in the monitor but it is actually khaki or beige color."
"It really added warmth and beauty to my holiday card. It made my picture look like a winter wonderland, even though we didn't have "real" snow in the pics. LOVED the design and the quality was amazing. I have ordered my Christmas cards the last two years from Tiny Prints,and I will continue to order my Holiday cards and other products through them."
"I picked this card in red, with 6 photos on the inside left. It printed great, shipped on time, and the envelopes are really nice too (I got the plain white ones). I had some printing issues last year with Tiny Prints, so actually looked at other card vendors this year, but took a chance and am so happy I did! They really stepped up their game this year!"

Mayor Collins: My analysis of our water incidentWritten by D. Michael Collins | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Editor's Note: The following document was provided to Toledo City Council in the days following the Aug. 2-4 drinking water ban. Minor edits have been made for clarity.
I feel compelled to share the events and challenges faced as a result of the harmful algal bloom and its impact on our water supply.
The first thing I must suggest is we have a facility which is [73] years old. This system has served us well and in truth produced water of the highest quality anywhere in the United States. The science and engineering which were used in the construction of the plant were the finest the world had to offer.
When we look at the broader picture not all systems are the same, we use the natural resource from Lake Erie. There are other point sources such as rivers, deep-water wells, freshwater lakes, recycle systems and reservoirs. Our geographical location enables us to have one of the best sources for water on this planet.
Unfortunately, as a society we have been poor stewards of this marvelous nature's gift. The multitude of discussions as to how we arrived at this compromised environmental challenge is not the final step, in my opinion; dialogue absent an action plan serves no positive outcome.
Due to this event we have been the focus of both the national and international media. I believe we must as a community and region act with one goal, and that is seek solutions, create policy and define the future for the future generations.
To those who assume we have more time, my question is what do we do when we run out of time?
I believe I must now advance this discussion to the events of Aug. 1-4, 2014. I offer the following as a chronologic record:
- Ohio EPA directed us to perform testing using a different protocol. The previous test protocol we used was in place and accepted for accuracy for the past several years. Testing results taken at 4:30 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. had results of 2.469 mg/L and 1.926 mg/L respectively. Both were nondetectable under the old method. Initially discussions with the Ohio EPA involved doing additional testing at locations outside of Toledo and evaluating our position at 8 a.m. Saturday morning.
- Shortly before 1 a.m. on Aug. 2, the Ohio EPA Director [Craig] Butler contacted Public Utility Director Ed Moore and recommended we should define the water as "Do Not Consume." This was made public in a press release and in social media.
- The media release went out at 1:20 a.m. on Aug. 2, [City] Council President [Paula] Hicks-Hudson was contacted and a voice message was left at 1:21 a.m. Lucas County Sheriff John Tharp was called directly and calls were placed to media sources to stress the importance of the notification to the public.
- Sheriff Tharp contacted Lucas County officials and Lucas County Emergency Management Agency. Councilwoman Lindsay Webb texted members of City Council at approximately 2:23 a.m.
- The Lucas County Emergency Management Agency sent out a text alert at 3:43 a.m.: "All City of Toledo water customers are advised not to drink, boil or shower in the water until further notice." This warning was not consistent with our declaration.
- We then moved to Critical Event Control Center and set it up in the Lucas County 911 Communication Center. The hours advanced and by 8 a.m. we established direct telephonic conference ability with Director Butler and his staff (Ohio EPA) and Gov. John Kasich.
- The operation was then divided into the operational response and the internal analysis from the plant.
- The discussions resulted in engaging the Ohio National Guard, the Ohio Highway Patrol, the private sector [including] Kroger, Walmart, Meijer and others. This endeavor was to be capable of logistically defining locations for distribution and collecting water for public allocation.
- The internal issues resulted in sending samples to the U.S. EPA in Cincinnati, Ohio EPA in Columbus, Lake Superior State University in Michigan and our own facility.
- There were several presentations to the media over the course of the day and information was provided to the extent we were facing this challenge and with Gov. Kasich and Director Butler and his staff all in place.
- As we moved into the early hours of Aug. 3, we had not received consistency in our collective testing and thus continued with the operational and internal efforts.
- Mid-afternoon on Aug. 3, the professionals in quality testing with the input of Jeff Reutter, Ph.D., from The Ohio State University, reached a consensus and one single test was the outcome. A document was prepared as a result of these discussions and signed off by Director Butler and myself.
- A key point to remember is this is the first time a single protocol (for detecting microcystin) was agreed to and it is now the standard for the State of Ohio.
- Late Aug. 3, in the conference call, the Ohio EPA, U.S. EPA and Gov. Kasich all opined that the directive of "Do Not Consume" could be lifted, based upon the latest outcome from the single standard test.
- Toledo's test would not be available until around 3 a.m. on Aug. 4, it was decided we would wait until our test results were available.
- When the test results were available there were two sample area test results which were inconsistent with the 30 points of distribution samples. These locations were in Point Place and East Toledo.
- As part of a conference call with Director Butler and the governor, the city collected three distribution samples from the two locations that had inconsistent results.
- Collection and testing was complete around 8:45 a.m. on Aug. 4. The tests demonstrated all samples were in the nondetectable range and consistent with the original 28 samples.
- The system warning was lifted in a press conference at 9:25 a.m. on Aug. 4.
- Aug. 6, [Toledo Fire & Rescue Department] Chief [Luis] Santiago conducted a post-event "hot wash" (debriefing) and a final report will be forthcoming.
- Aug. 7, a meeting was held with our partners in other jurisdictions to discuss and create a protocol for future communications.
- Reflecting on this experience, there should have been a universal and direct contact system in place. In terms of our ability to inform the community, I would suggest my responsibility was to ensure we were capable of handling the incident and seeing that water was available to the community that could be used in the absence of safe tap water.
My total objective was to move the internal process to address the matter and keep the community from engaging in a state of panic.
I am reminded of a conversation I had with a citizen at a public event [after the water advisory]. He, I believe, gave me sage advice and a sound analysis of this incident. He defined this in three parts. First there are the Monday morning quarterbacks, second the academic who will lecture and opine with no real world experience and finally the individual in the leadership position who actually faces the adversity and challenge and takes action. I must also state that the professionalism and dedication of our employees, both classified and unclassified, defined the culture of the Toledo workforce. The other public servants from all jurisdictions and the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department stand out as true professional public servants. The safety and security of the community is paramount and all decisions were solely influenced with that responsibility in mind.
To close, I would be remiss if I failed to address the great response from the community. Our community responded and became directly involved in the distribution process. I said at the time and it deserves repeating, "Toledo has a populace of men and women of character, compassion and resolve" our future will be defined and this even, as unfortunate as it was, will serve us in our mission.
You will do better in Toledo!

Comments On May 25, 2015:Fits directly in OEM aluminum housing, no modification needed. Do not have to remove chain to install. Made of two diffrent types of plastic, flexible rubber for the housing, hard plastic for the guide. Made in Italy. After 3 rides showing typical wear. If you don't want to shell out the $70+ for the TM Design Works, get this one.

Comments On Dec 05, 2014:Quality and construction was questionable from the start but hey it's a chain guide, how complicated does it need to be. Once the guide was installed and the bolts were tightened to specification, the guide ended up slanted toward the rim and pushed the chain away from the sprocket. This disappointment forced me to order up an OE piece. Acerbis has always been a trusted brand for me but this product did not turn out to be a suitable alternative to OE.

Catamounts get jump on New HampshireFebruary 07,2013MENS BASKETBALL
Vermont 63, UNH 48
BURLINGTON Luke Apfeld scored 16 points and Vermont jumped on New Hampshire early en route to a 63-48 win over the Wildcats Wednesday night in an America East game.
The Catamounts (15-7, 8-2), last years A-East champions, stormed to a 34-16 halftime lead over New Hampshire (7-15, 2-7) and coasted home. This was much easier than Vermonts 64-51 win at New Hampshire on Jan. 2.
Apfeld, whose 16 points included two 3-pointers, helped the Catamounts build a 27-8 lead. He got help from Clancy Rugg, who also hit two treys, and Ethan ODay. They scored 13 and 10 points, respectively. Bryan Voelkel grabbed 14 rebounds.
The Wildcats hurt themselves from 3-point range. They made just 3 of 14 treys, all three from Scott Morris in five attempts. Vermont was 7 of 22 from long range.
Patrick Konan led New Hampshire with 15 points, shooting 7 for 15 from the field.MORE IN Wire SportsFLORHAM PARK, N.J. Full StoryTURNBERRY, Scotland Theres a Ko atop the leaderboard after three rounds of the Womens British... Full Story

Forward in the Fifth is asking middle and high school students in Perry County to speak out about what's going on in their schools to advance and promote education in Southern and Eastern Kentucky in a new regional video contest.
The contest is part of a newly launched Forward in the Fifth initiative presented in partnership with Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative and the University of Pikeville to encourage students to share their own personal success stories about education and schools in the region by creating a 90-second or less student-produced video.
"Schools and communities must promote, celebrate, and share the positive impacts they are making daily in the lives of their students and staff," said Jim Tackett, executive director of Forward in the Fifth, a nonprofit organization and affiliate of The Center for Rural Development in Somerset. "What better way to do this than by telling these stories through young people and the emerging technology we now have?"
Sixty-three public school districts in 45 Kentucky counties within Forward in the Fifth's primary service area have been invited to participate in the contest and lend their support to the New Voices in Education project.
Video contest entries will be screened by a review committee and later posted on the New Voices in Education website at www.voicesineducation.org, designed by UPIKE students. Selection will be based on content, use of theme, originality, editing, creativity, and technical quality.
Students must upload their video submissions to the New Voices in Education website no later than Feb. 28, 2013, to be eligible for the contest. Instructions on how to upload videos are available from a link on the homepage.
Video registration and release forms, which may be downloaded and printed from the website, must be mailed and postmarked no later than Feb. 28 to New Voices in Education, Forward in the Fifth, 2292 South Hwy. 27, Somerset, KY 42501.
All contest entries will be categorized into middle school and high school divisions. Both student and school awards will be announced by Forward in the Fifth near the end of the 2012-2013 school year.
"We learn a lot about educational needs through meetings and phone calls, but there's nothing quite like seeing education in action firsthand, especially from a student's perspective," said U.S. Congressman Harold "Hal" Rogers (KY-05), who helped establish Forward in the Fifth in 1986. "I want to commend the students at UPIKE for designing such an impressive website, where we can share ideas across the region and brag on the great strides we're making in education in one of the most rural parts of the country."
During the video presentations, students will be able to share powerful personal stories about their own school experiences; best practices utilized by educators, schools, or school districts; innovative programs in and outside the classroom; strong curriculum and robust instructional strategies; and volunteer programs that are changing the lives of students all across the region.
The contest will allow students to use existing technology—cell phones, video cameras, and other common devices—to produce their video without having to seek out highly sophisticated equipment.
"Voices in Education is a perfect example of experiential learning, which is an integral part of our curriculum," said James Hurley, president-elect at the University of Pikeville. "As educators, our goal is to provide the best opportunities for our students. We are also committed to improving access and college readiness for middle and high school students."
"I am excited to see what our students develop as part of this competition," added Jeff Hawkins, executive director of the Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative. "This project allows each of us to see the true impact our schools and communities are truly making on a daily basis."
Video productions may be created by individual students, a group of students, or as a school project. Multiple entries by individuals or groups will be considered. Videos about school sports are already well documented in most local communities and will not be accepted unless it is genuinely unique in promoting education for a person or group.
For more information about Forward in the Fifth, contact Jim Tackett at 606-677-6000 or email email@example.com. Visit the New Voices in Education website at www.voicesineducation.org for a complete description of contest rules and student requirements.
The Forward in the Fifth initiative is funded in part by a literacy grant through the U.S. Department of Education.

CAIRO (AP) — A leader of al-Qaida's Iraqi branch is calling on Egyptians to fight their army and deriding the Muslim Brotherhood for seeking power through democracy.
The official spokesman of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, said in an audio message posted on the Internet on Saturday that the Egyptian army should be targeted for trying to "prevent God's rule."
In a 32-minute audio, al-Adnani said the Brotherhood is "a secular party with an Islamic cloak, worshipping power and parliaments, and their jihad is for democracy and not for God's sake."
The audio could not be independently verified but appeared on a website commonly used by militants.
The Egyptian military ousted President Mohammed Morsi, who hails from the Brotherhood, in a July 3 coup.

Well heres Saturdays stunning fine. Guess you can call in audio nirvana. This was the top of the top of the line in 1961. I found this built into a wall of a midcentury home in the Piedmont hills. I went there to check out a pair of speakers, when I went searching for the components, I was shocked to see a C20. I then looked for the lady running it, I told her I would like to buy it. She said the owner wouldn't it sold because it was built in. After I shouted an offer of a large amount of money, she said well the owner won't mind it for that! A few jaws dropped too, After I got it all home I got OMG I paid that. Well after I removed the paneling hiding the amp, I feel off the stool when I say a MC275. I rushed everything to the car. Time to check out them speakers. They are a pair of mint janszen electrostatic speakers, and get this the ac cords were never plugged in. Well I have a big job ahead of me restoring it all. But it was one of my amazing finds! Oh and who knows what would have happened to it if I didn't get it. The stagger was coming it to paint all the walnut paneling in the family room.

The dev did a great job with Wallax. There are some cool features like the blurring. I beat them to the App Store by a few days with Fix My Wallpaper. They have much better iPad support at the moment. I am working on that and will have an update soon. My take on it is different and adds nice gradient backgrounds and you can add multiple images. For a different take try my app: Fix My Wallpaper.
P.S I am going to make my app free until the iPad version is ready to give people another choice. Going into itunes connect now...

Well I'm sure you guys know about this, or have noticed it: https://www.google.co.uk/#safe=off&sclient=psy-ab&q=manage+adblockplus+whitelist&oq=manage+adblockplus+white&gs_l=hp.1.0.33i21.1844.10062.0.13220.127.116.11.22.214.171.1240.2908.0j20j0j1.21.0....0...1c.1.19.psy-ab.xwB4ti1pzoY&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.48705608,d.d2k&fp=839d9582418924f5&biw=1280&bih=582
AdblockPlus has now become a scam plug-in that is holding advertisers to ransom in order to make big profits. There used to be a setting in older versions of Adblock that allowed you to select whether you wanted to keep viewing 'unobtrusive' ads or not, but that setting has also now gone. Basically it seems if you throw enough money at the developers of Adblock they will show whatever advert you want.
I thought I was going nuts when I first saw Google ad-sense ads about a week ago. I haven't seen adverts on my home internet connection for over 10 years. I thought something screwy has gone on with my filter list. It turns out it had, although it wasn't my doing.
It seems like it's time for a new adblocking extension to step in where AdblockPlus has now firmly dropped the ball. (Preferably one that is open source and can't sell out and that maybe uses a similar set of filter lists.)
Is anyone aware of anything currently that can block Google ads?
Before anyone answers, let me get a few things out of the way. Firstly, I have always disabled Adblocking software on on the few sites I am sympathetic to. Google isn't one of these.
Second I know there are guys who vehemently support serving all web users adverts, whether they want to view them or not. I am certain you have your own well worked out rational for this, although if you told me this I would probably think you were slightly crazy - and since I pay a premium for my internet connection, I should be able to view, or not view whatever I wish. In any case, this post is not for you if you do feel like this. Please don't respond if this is what you want to say.
3rdly is there any way of manually editing the AdblockPlus white list, or is this now just officially a dead (or at least slowly dying) duck?
It sucks when something you have trusted for so long turns around and bites you in the butt. But sh t happens I guess.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
In New York's Garment District, near many popular sights
The Garment District (also more flatteringly dubbed the Fashion District) is home to wholesale dress and jewelry shops and the occasional adult DVD store. It's not the prettiest part of the city, but it's extremely convenient for tourists as many popular sights are within walking distance.
This stylish urban boutique hotel in New York's Garment District is located in a historic building that was once a tea salon and hat factory. The property's past inspired its present industrial-chic design, and small details such as decorative milliner's tools pay homage to the building's former function. In the lobby, cool white stone and Gothic arches are contrasted against colorful contemporary art, while in the rooms, a minimalist black-and-white motif is warmed up by the oak hardwood floors. Features include a fitness center, a lobby bar (named for the historic tea salon's owner), Parker & Quinn bistro, and a cool rooftop bar. The location is within walking distance of popular sights such as the Empire State Building, Bryant Park, and Herald Square.
