Superheroes, like all things Disney, Dr. Seuss and “Star Wars,” are in America’s pop culture DNA. Images of Batman, Spider-Man and their muscle-bound peers
inundate us on clothing, grocery store shelves and every manner of electronic screens.
My wife and I did a decent job of screening influences as our boys Evan (who is almost 7) and Sean (who is almost 5) have journeyed through stories, books, television and movies. We tried to shield them from commercials, violence and elements more interested in slapstick than education. But as the boys have begun their education, they have been exposed to a much wider pool of myths and entertainment properties than we have introduced at home.
As a voracious and enthusiastic consumer of pop cul-ture, I am keenly aware of the benefits and drawbacks of entertainment and escapism. But I am sure I was no-
where near as critical and questioning at a young age as our sons are. I watched Superman fly, The Cat in the Hat clean up a house in 30 seconds, and 4,000 sharpshooting
stormtroopers miss while shooting at Luke Skywalker from a distance of seven feet, all without deconstructing the mechanics of the story logic.
Evan, by contrast, seems to be carefully considering each scene of every story, ex-amining it for holes and flaws like an ap-praiser studying what he expects to be a fake diamond.
Recently, I showed Evan two episodes of the 1970s “Super Friends” show, that silly but fun series in which DC Comics stars Supes, Bats, Wonder Woman and
their pals battle the Legion of Doom, led by Lex Luthor, Sinestro, Gorilla Grodd and Riddler.
Publisher’s statement
I suspected the race to be Toledo’s mayor would get ugly, and my expectations were confirmed with a recent tasteless bit of grandstanding. On April 3, mayoral candidate Joe McNamara
and former mayor Carty Finkbeiner exploited the violent and tragic murder of Kaitlin Gerber to call for background checks for potential gun owners.
Barely a week after Gerber was slain by Jashua Perz, who later used his gun to commit suicide, McNamara and Finkbeiner
stood for a photo opportunity at the Southland Shopping Center memorial site where grieving visitors have left greeting cards, flowers and other items in Gerber’s memory.
I do not question McNamara and Finkbeiner’s sincerity in seeking gun control, but their choice of venue and the timing of their exploitation is boorish and insensitive. Did McNa-mara and Finkbeiner ever make such
a stand after one of Toledo’s myriad central city shooting deaths? Where was their outrage when 1-year-old Ke’Ondra Hooks was struck in the head by a stray bullet, killed by street violence while sleeping on the floor of her family’s Moody Manor apartment?
McNamara and Finkbeiner could have called for action without manipulating the death of a young woman to fit their agenda.
There is no question that episodes of gun violence seem more harrowing under the media spotlight. I am open to having the conversation about how to ensure gun owners are responsible, though it is clear no law or restriction would have mattered to Perz. And I have yet to hear how lawmakers can impose restric-tions on guns without violating the Second Amendment.
Of course McNamara and Finkbeiner have the right to ex-press their opinions, but choosing to stand in the freshly spilled blood of a tragic victim shows extremely poor taste and a lack of sense and judgment.
Those traits are Finkbeiner’s calling card; seeing them emerge in McNamara is troubling and a bad omen for his mayoral as-pirations. O

Evan vs. the Super Friends

ToledoFreePress.com A Toledo tradition since 2005April 14, 2013 Opinion 3
Evan is far more familiar with the “The Super Hero Squad Show,” a Marvel Comics show in which The Avengers are depicted in friendly little kid versions. I have always been a DC guy, devouring Batman and Joker stories, but Evan seems far more interested in the Marvel worlds of Spider-Man, Hulk and Iron Man. I thought a few “Super Friends” episodes might draw him into the DC stories.
As we watched an episode in which the Legion of Doom used manufactured global warming to make the Earth open for a Venusian invasion, Evan asked a string of impa-tient questions, something he does not do when watching “The Super Hero Squad. Show”
We are spending a lot of time with Evan working on teamwork, teaching him the importance of doing his in-dividual best while contributing to a larger cause. As we watched the Legion of Doom plot and scheme to take down the Super Friends, Evan made a few astute observations.
“Daddy, the bad guys are working together and being a team while the good guys are doing everything on their own and not together. Does that mean the bad guys de-serve to win?”
“No,” I said. “The good guys are working together for the same cause, just in different parts of the world. The bad guys are weak and mean, so they need to team up to be evil. They’re like the New York Yankees.”
Evan watched a few more scenes, then said, “How come Wonder Woman is wearing a swimsuit to fight the bad guys?”
“That’s not a bathing suit,” I said, then hesitated, “That’s a, um, that’s a … well, it looks like a swimsuit, but it’s her uniform.”
“The girls in X-Men wear real uniforms, not swimsuits,” Evan said.
“Well, Wonder Woman is an Amazon from an island, so maybe it’s hot there all the time. Let’s just watch,” I said.
In the story, a scene showed Superman, Batman and Robin running for what seemed like miles in that slightly jerky, ’70s animation.
Evan watched, but said, “Why is Superman running for-ever when he can fly?”
“I don’t know,” I said. “Maybe he doesn’t want Batman and Robin to fall behind.”
“Can’t he carry them and fly?” Evan asked.“He could, but isn’t it cooler to see the good guys
rushing to action?” I said.“Daddy, why does Superman need Batman?” Evan
asked. “Superman is Superman and Batman doesn’t have any powers.”
“Batman is a detective and very smart,” I said. “He always helps, even without superpowers, which is what makes him cool.”
On screen, Flash’s enemy Captain Cold froze the Brooklyn Bridge with his freeze ray.
“Daddy,” Evan asked, “Is Captain Cold the same guy as Batman’s bad guy Mr. Freeze?”
“No,” I said. “They’re completely different bad guys.”“How?” Evan asked. “They both use ice and freeze rays.”I thought about it.“I’m not that familiar with Captain Cold, but he’s not
Mr. Freeze,” I said.In the show, Mr. Freeze — I mean, Captain Cold —
froze a New York building, intending to topple it and watch it smash into pieces. Flash used his super speed to run around the Brooklyn Bridge, taking its suspension cables to lasso the building so it would not fall over.
“See, that was cool,” I said.“But if the bridge cables are wrapped around the
building, what’s holding up the bridge?” Evan asked.“He must have left some cables on it,” I said.So, Evan will probably go back to watching The
Avengers in “The Super Hero Squad Show,” as he chooses which myths and entertainments he favors. But “Super Friends” stuck with him, for later in the day, we had another conversation.
“Daddy, why are there no black Super Friends?” Evan asked.
“Well, that’s a good question,” I said. “When I was growing up, people who made TV shows and movies did not always include everybody in their shows. Today, we try to do a better job of remembering to be sensitive to include all people.”
Evan was quiet, then asked, “Is that why there were no gay Super Friends? Was Robin gay?”
“Why would you ask if Robin is gay?” I said.“I don’t know,” Evan said.“Evan,” I said, “It’s not intelligent to think that about
someone just because of the clothes they wear or how they talk or act. It can be hurtful to someone to label them. You don’t want people to think things about you before they get to know you. And if someone is gay, you know that doesn’t ever mean we think less of them just for that.”
“I know, Daddy. Daddy, was Aquaman gay?”“Yes.” O

n MILLER CONTINUED FROM 3The LiberTarian PersPecTive
Drugs in AmericaSome cops say legalize drugs?
Yes, many do and I will explain some of the reasons why.
In America, we have strong moral feelings about drugs that can cloud reason, especially when coupled with a lack of understanding of history. It isn’t that those who clamor for tough laws and prison sentences are without empathy; on the con-trary, most believe those affected will receive the help they need. And it isn’t that these good people are intentionally ignoring history; they simply aren’t taught it.
Currently we imprison those caught with drugs we have deemed illegal or for taking prescription drugs not authorized by a physi-cian. Prisons are not, nor will they be, places where those with drug or alcohol issues will receive the kind of help they need. It simply is not logis-tically possible.
There are few Americans alive today born before the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act went into effect in 1914. There are probably fewer Americans of any age that are aware of it or what it has meant to society. Prior to this act, drugs could be reg-ulated but were not illegal. A patient, including addicts, could discuss freely with their doctors what medi-cations they were taking, wanted to take or expected to take.
The patient and doctor had an entirely different relationship than we know today. Doctors, drug manufacturers and the government all had a different relationship than what we know today. Addiction was treated as a health and education issue. Drug use recreationally or be-cause of addiction was morally dis-approved of but not criminal. Only if they broke existing laws were they arrested, but not for possession or use. Users were treated with compas-sion and empathy and not denied a place in society.
After this act, doctors were ar-rested for supplying the necessary drugs to treat addicts and ameliorate their issues. Doctors could no longer treat these people as patients, of-fering relief from the horrid effects of withdrawal. Addiction was not con-sidered a medical problem under the law. Doctors quickly realized what they risked by treating these patients.
The addict was forced to find his supply on the black market. This is prohibition. Prohibition leads to crime and immense wealth for the profiteers. The underlying issues do not disappear with prohibition,
and the profiteers see their market increase. In order to sur-vive, addicts turn to crime, including theft and prostitution.
As the crimes as-sociated with drugs increase, along with profits, the image of the minority as prime user and criminal is reinforced. Pro-
hibitions have always targeted mi-nority groups to secure authority of the powerful elite classes. Opium was used to target the Chinese in America, even as the U.S. govern-ment and commercial interests worked to open markets to it in China. Propaganda described mari-juana and cocaine as the gateway for black men to corrupt white women, especially with the advent of jazz music. There were powerful corpo-rate and government interests in-vested in outlawing hemp for their own gain.
Americans have not received the benefits they hoped for with drug prohibition. Instead, we have ever escalating and more violent crimes. We are less safe and so are our police and safety forces. The profits have increased yearly despite economic recessions. Usage has increased year after year.
But other countries, like Portugal and Switzerland, have tried different approaches, like decriminalization and legalization. These approaches have succeeded in every category we have hoped for and failed to achieve. They have less use of all drugs, less crime, less spread of disease, less cost to society and fewer lost lives and broken families.
In no way does this course of action promote drug use or signal defeat. In fact, if the aim is to reduce use of all drugs, re-duce crime, reduce cost to society, and decrease the spread of disease and save lives and families — this is how we win the war and do it while keeping the moral high ground.

EDUCATION
By John P. McCartneyToledo Free Press sTaFF WriTer
After a second round of April 8 interviews that lasted three hours, the Toledo Public Schools (TPS) Board of Education (BOE) voted unanimously to name Romules Durant as its in-terim superintendent.
Durant, 37, TPS assistant super-intendent of the Bowsher, Scott and Waite learning communities, said he was overjoyed to receive the news.
“I’m very excited,” Durant said. “We have a road ahead of us, and [I’m looking forward] to being able to be in charge as well as developing a lot of energy that I have with my-self along with [what’s] already here with the board. I’m just very excited to begin to look at the vision of TPS, to begin to work with our partner-ships and to continue on with the Transformation Plan that we put forth two, three years ago.”
Durant said he was looking for-ward to facing the challenges of his new job.
“In regards to any superintendent, your sole duty is working in close re-lationship to the board members. [I intend to] begin to be much more in-clusive in the discussions as opposed to in my previous position, [where I] kind of took a back seat to Dr. [Jerome] Pecko (outgoing superintendent).”
Durant said his regular interac-tions with TPS students “in walking through the hallways, as well as [working with] many of them [as] part of my student youth group,” makes him a firm believer that student input is essential for the district’s success.
“I expect to [tell students to] look for more leadership positions,” Du-rant said. “We want you to begin to own the mission individually in TPS.
When you’re capable of saying it, then we know we’ve done our job in due diligence in regards to setting a tone of what we expect from our youth.”
Durant, a 1994 Waite High School graduate, said he is looking forward to “reinvest within the district and pro-vide the things” he was afforded as a TPS student.
Durant said he was never really nervous about whether he would be offered the interim superinten-dent position. He said he used the training and preparation from his student football-playing days to be prepared for whatever decision the BOE reached.
“Coming from my athletic back-ground, you’re used to performing on certain days,” Durant said. “I think what I’ve taken away from the game of football, when we’re talking about data and statistics, [is the] results in regards to how to go about 48-hour preparation — how to prepare your-self [in the preceding] 48 hours [of any event] which will allow you to perform in a means that you visualize on a day-to-day basis.”
Durant deferred any comments about goals he may have for the dis-trict, saying “I leave that in the hands of my board.
“My main thing is, one, start with youth in regard to what their phi-losophy is, as well as their goals. I’m looking forward to make sure that I step forward and carry through with those.”
‘The needs of the district’Brenda Hill, board president and
spokesperson, said the BOE selected the candidate based on who, “will best meet the needs of the district.”
In their second interviews, Hill said the BOE asked Durant and candi-date Douglas Heuer, superintendent of Cleveland Heights-University Heights
schools, “general questions about the school system and how would you see us moving forward. And then we had a discussion. We talked about what’s coming up. We just decided, with aca-demics, and all other kinds of issues, and the levy, we needed someone who would be organized and someone who would have accountability.
“It’s not that the other superin-tendent candidate didn’t [have those qualities]. We just had to decide between the two of them who we thought would do the best as far as organizing, having accountability, moving us forward, making our re-port card improve and also be able to get the confidence of the community. We decided Dr. Durant would prob-ably be the best one.”
Hill said the BOE was not con-cerned with Durant’s youth.
“You find most people who do things and are famous, like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., started in their 30s and 40s,” Hill said. “So leadership comes at an early age. I think sometimes people are kind of born with leadership and leadership abilities. Dr. Durant has leadership abilities. He’s worked. He’s shown it. And we believe he would be a good leader for our system.”
Hill said the BOE discussed of-fering Durant a one-year contract, “but those things have to be worked out” in contract negotiations with Durant, TPS legal counsel Keith Wilkowski and Hill. Once an agreement is reached, Hill said the board will publicly vote to approve Durant’s contract.
Hill left open the possibility that Durant could be named superinten-dent at the end of his interim contract.
“If we want him, and he wants us, he can apply to us and we could de-cide to make him permanent, or not,” Hill said. O

By Brigitta BurksToledo Free Press NeWs ediTor
Former Cincinnati Police Captain Howard Rahtz, who spoke in Toledo on April 10 about legalizing drugs, has seen two sides of the war on drugs — what he called the country’s largest failed policy.
“I do have an unusual background. I mean I’ve basically had two careers: one career in the addictions field and then at age 42, I became a Cincinnati cop,” Rahtz said in an interview with Toledo Free Press.
Rahtz, also a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) spoke at the University of To-ledo’s Law Center’s McQuade Audito-
rium as part of the school’s first an-nual Prison Awareness Week. Prison Awareness Week, April 8-13, is part of an effort by Toledoans for Prison Aware-ness, a coalition of groups like the Lucas County Libertarian Party, Move to Amend, American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio North-west Chapter and the UT Community for Prison Awareness.
Kenneth Sharp of the Lucas County Libertarian Party said he spoke to one of the co-founders of LEAP at a function and decided to try
to bring a speaker to the area.Sharp, also a UT student and col-
umnist for Toledo Free Press, said he believes it’s good for people to see law enforcement officials asserting that the war on drugs has failed.
“We are probably the most credible voice on drug policy reform that ex-ists,” Rahtz said of LEAP.
Rahtz, who worked as a supervisor for a city-run methadone program, said that many violent crimes nation-ally and internationally are fueled by the drug trade.
“In every city in this country, To-ledo, Cincinnati, everywhere, most of the violence that occurs is related to drugs,” Rahtz said.
“If you’re in the drug-dealing busi-ness, you’re in there because violence maintains it. If you’re not a violent person if you’re not willing to use violence, you’re not a survivor in that business because you’ll be ripped off.”
Rahtz called for reform of the United States’ drug policy.
“We spend more money, we incar-cerate more people and we have less to show for it than any other country in the world. If you look at addiction rates, if you look at use rates, they’re among the top of the world so the cur-rent war on drugs by all indications
seems to be a complete failure. And the frustrating thing is there seems to be so little recognition of that and so little interest in doing something dif-ferent,” he said.
It costs about $25,000 per year to incarcerate a federal prisoner and the United States houses about 25 percent of the world’s prisoners, according to LEAP’s website.
The retired captain said he’s 100 percent for marijuana legalization. Marijuana accounts for 60 percent of drug cartels’ business, he added.
“So if we were to legalize mari-juana, move those billions of dollars from the illegal market and into the legal economy in one fell swoop, we’d take 60 percent of the revenue away from [cartels]. How many operations, business or otherwise, could with-stand the loss of 60 percent of their revenue?” Rahtz said.
Many of the remaining customers would be addicts of hard drugs, Rahtz said, adding that he advocates getting addicts into treatment. He pointed to Portugal’s reform of its drug policy a little more than 10 years ago when the country moved many addicts into treat-ment and also decriminalized drugs.
Rahtz said that just 10 percent of drug addicts in the United States
receive treatment.“If we could double that, triple that,
quadruple that, what would happen to the drug trade?” Rahtz asked, adding that he supports decriminalizing pos-session for all drugs.
Rahtz has authored three books, including “Drugs, Crime and Violence: From Trafficking to Treatment,” which was released by Hamilton Press in Au-gust 2012. He also served as a SWAT negotiations team coordinator and cap-tain of the Cincinnati Police Depart-ment’s Central Vice Control Section. In addition, he worked in a program that helped get prostitutes off the street.
Sharp said UT’s Prison Awareness Week has been a success so far.
“All the events have been well-at-tended I think and the reception has been good,” he said, adding that many students have approached the group’s booth at UT’s Student Union and said they know someone who is incarcerated.
Sharp said the goal of Toledoans for Prison Awareness is to bring dif-ferent groups together.
“We’re trying to raise the aware-ness, pull people in. It’s really the beginning. We don’t expect to solve everything at once,” he said. To learn more, visit howardrahtz.com and to-ledoprisonawarenessgroup.org. O

HANNOVER, GERMANY — To-ledo Mayor Mike Bell missed the first of eight scheduled business meetings April 11 because of heavier than ex-pected traffic and construction.
The expected 90-minute bus ride from his hotel in Delmenhorst took more than two hours.
Instead, Paul Zito, vice president of international de-velopment with the Regional Growth Partnership, attended the meeting with New Jersey-based Radwell International alone. The industrial overstock inventory com-pany is looking to expand in the U.S. and worldwide, Zito said.
The mayor arrived at the Han-nover Messes — one of the largest industrial trade shows in the world — in time for the second meeting. The meeting, with Korean company KTurbo, was attended by Bell, Zito and Deputy Mayor of External Af-fairs and Economic Development Paul Syring.
“Our objective this week is to shake hands, to put names and faces in the eyes and minds of companies that are at the Hannover fair that express an in-terest in expanding operations in the U.S., particularly in the Midwest,” Syring said. “We want to put a name and a face on the city of Toledo in their minds, to make them feel welcome and that we are a phone call or an email away and to further their decision and analysis to ex-
pand their company and their market in the Midwest.”
Each of the day’s meetings were ex-pected to last about 45 minutes, said City of Toledo Public In-formation Officer Jen Sorgenfrei.
Typically, Bell will share what makes Toledo a great place to live and do business, Sorgenfrei said, while Zito’s presence assures companies un-derstand Toledo has a strong public-private partnership and that all enti-ties are in agreement for wanting and supporting new business.
“Most don’t know where Toledo is,” Bell said. “I don’t want [a com-pany] to ever say, ‘If only I would have known about Toledo I would
have come here.’”Syring and City Finance Director
Patrick McLean are on hand to answer any other specific questions about To-ledo’s utilities, tax structure or other areas, Sorgenfrei said.
Bell said he would be pleased if a company decided to invest anywhere in Northwest Ohio, not just Toledo.
“As long as it stays in Northwest Ohio, why not?” Bell said, noting that people are willing to drive long distances to work and jobs in the surrounding areas could employ Toledoans.
Also on April 11, the group plans to meet with Maumee-based Dana Holding Corporation to learn more about the company’s advances in fuel-
cell work. The group also attend the fair April 12.
Zito, who has been at the fair all week, said many people view the Han-nover Messe — one of the largest in-dustrial trade fairs in the world — as an economic indicator. This year’s fair features about 6,000 exhibitors, the most in 30 years. O

One smile, one plate of food, one good deed at a time — and definitely some dessert. That’s the plan Norm Carlton has in mind when men from St. Michael’s in the Hills Episcopal Church serve dinner April 15 at the Cherry Street Mission.
Carlton, 71, a Toledo native and a sales representative in the metal finish and supplies business, has organized about 25 volunteers from the Ottawa Hills church’s men’s group, dubbed “Mondays at Mike’s,” to serve a meal cooked by Ida’s Catering.
“We will be serving 200-300 guests — and Cherry Street Mission insists that these people are their guests,” Carlton said.
The meal of roasted chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, tossed salad and ice cream — adding dessert was an important touch for the men’s group — was funded by the Easter weekend offering at St. Mi-chael’s in the Hills.
“The entire parish will be engaged
in the project because St. Michael’s is giving a portion of its Easter weekend offering to Cherry Street,” said the Rev. Greg Sammons, co-rector of St. Michael’s in the Hills. The beige brick church, built in 1957, is situated on a tree-laden lot at 4718 Brittany Road in Ottawa Hills.
Roz Goodwin, director of steward-ship services for the mission, spoke earlier this year at the church’s three weekend services, which have a com-bined attendance of about 300.
“She really ignited some people,” Carlton said.
Goodwin said Cherry Street Mis-sion Ministries serves between 200 and 250 meals at a time, three times a day. The Christian nonprofit served a total of 273,646 meals in 2011.
“We do that with no government support, and being a Christ-centered organization, it’s always a blessing when a faith community like St. Mi-chael’s actually ‘walks out’ the Great Commission,” Goodwin said.
In addition to serving food, the Monday at Mike’s men’s group will provide music and its members said they are looking forward to getting to
know the shelter’s guests, hear their stories and offer some encouragement.
“Every human has a story,” Goodwin said. “I tell volunteers every day that it could be you and your tes-timony that touches the heart of our guests and gives them hope. And at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about — it’s about hope and about transforming lives through the power of Jesus Christ.”
Carlton said he has a special fond-ness for Cherry Street because when he was a child, his father would send him down to the mission with a bag of clothes and a check to donate. “He gave to Cherry Street his whole life,” Carlton said.
While Monday’s meal will mark the first time St. Michael’s in the Hills is working with Cherry Street, the church has “a passionate commitment … to be a servant to God’s world,” Sammons said.
He pointed to St. Michael’s work with FOCUS Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, Food for Thought and the Salvation Army and said the church is helping the Christ the King Church in Chanika, Tanzania, to build a hostel that would provide income and a place for guests to stay.
Jeff Glosser, a member of St. Mi-chael’s in the Hills’ vestry, said church members want to provide not only a hearty meal but also to help Cherry Street in its quest to help guests get their lives back on track.
“We’re hoping it gives people a platform to help lift themselves out of their situation,” Glosser said.
Carlton and Glosser both said they are hoping that Monday’s meal will be the first step in an ongoing collabora-tion with the mission.
“We don’t want this to be a ‘one and done’ deal,” said Glosser, who works in management at Therma-Tru Doors. “Norm has done a pretty good job of getting people of all age groups excited and signed up.”
“Getting people motivated is part of my job in sales,” Carlton said. “I re-ally hope this is a kickoff for a repeat. Everything about this project has been cool, fun and exciting.”

Toledo City Councilman and may-oral candidate Joe McNamara joined the executive directors of Progress Ohio and the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Vio-lence and former mayor Carty Finkbeiner in asking Toledoans to urge their rep-resentatives in Washington, D.C., to support federal legislation man-dating universal b a c k g r o u n d checks for gun purchases.
The April 3 rally was set on the edge of the Southland Shopping Center parking lot in proximity to a makeshift memorial to Kaitlin Gerber, the 20-year-old woman killed by her ex-boyfriend Jashua Perz on March 24. McNamara called universal background checks “common sense” and cited statistics showing significantly lower gun suicide rates and gun violence against women
in places where similar statewide legis-lation is already in place.
“It’s perfectly fine to balance Second Amendment rights with making sure we have safety measures in place to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and ending senseless deaths,” McNamara said in a news release from Progress Ohio, a statewide nonprofit that describes itself as “dedicated to issue advocacy across Ohio,” and whose executive di-rector Brian Rothenberg also spoke at the news conference.
McNamara told a small gathering of local media, “We need the federal government to do this,” referring to universal background checks for gun purchases, part of the legislation that many advocates warn is now stalled in Congress.
Sen. Rob Portman addressed the issue at event in Columbus on April 3. When asked about background checks by a reporter, Portman said, “There is opportunity to enforce the existing background checks,” ac-cording to a transcript provided by the senator’s office.

“The more you look into it, the more you find out that some of the information is not being provided,” Portman said.
“A universal check that would require registration, I would be against. I think the idea of a registra-tion, a global registration, would be something that I would oppose and
that a lot of my colleagues would as well,” he said.
Congresswoman Marcy Kap-tur’s communications director Steve Fought, said she does “sup-port universal background checks. [Kaptur] also supports a ban on assault weapons; to renew the ban that expired.”
A fact sheet distributed by Toby
Hoover, executive director of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Vio-lence, cited a January 2013 poll by the coalition of Mayors Against Il-legal Guns, that found that “83 per-cent of Ohio residents want every gun buyer to pass a criminal back-ground check.”
Toledo is listed as one of 900 cities in America whose mayors
have signed the coalition’s state-ment of principles, which includes punishing “to the maximum ex-tent of the law” the criminals who use illegal guns and “target[ing] and hold[ing] accountable irre-sponsible gun dealers who break the law by knowingly selling guns to straw purchasers.”
Mayors Against Illegal Guns pledges to support the goal of “pro-tecting the rights of Americans to own guns, while fighting to keep criminals from possessing guns illegally.”
Signatories also support “punish[ing] — to the maximum extent of the law — criminals who possess, use, and traffic in illegal guns” and “keep[ing] lethal, mil-itary-style weapons and high ca-pacity ammunition magazines off our streets.”
Finkbeiner oversaw the pas-sage of a citywide ban on assault
weapons and “Saturday night spe-cials” while in office in the 1990s. He said there were 199 shootings in To-ledo last year, a “dramatic increase.” Finkbeiner said Ohio basically pre-empted the gun restrictions his ad-ministration put in place when “the state took away home rule” in such matters about seven years ago.
Finkbeiner recalled how mem-bers of the Michigan Militia in the 1990s surrounded One Government Center in protest of his local gun bans. He said he was “impressed” with McNamara’s “courage” on the issue of mandating universal back-ground checks, legislation that Hoover emphasized is aimed at gun sellers, not buyers.
Regarding Finkbeiner’s record on gun control, Hoover said, “Carty was never afraid of this issue,” noting the former mayor’s support of it “never hurt his re-election.” O

All students starting at the University of Toledo this fall will enter through a “portal col-lege,” a new program linking students to success coaches and emphasizing retention.
Portal colleges are part of UT’s strategic im-provement plan “Imagine 2017,” designed by Scott L. Scarborough, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs.
Kaye Patten Wallace, senior vice president of the student experience, said that portal col-leges are part of a university-wide effort to im-prove retention.
“We are focused on retaining students. We want them to know we care about them so we’ve revised the way we provide support. It’s a univer-sity-wide initiative; it’s not just one department,” she said.
In fall 2010, UT had a rough beginning to the semester where students were waiting in long lines for services, Wallace said. UT began to look at research that showed students often leave col-lege because they feel the college doesn’t care or offers poor service.
Wallace said her responsibilities were in-creased to further examine the student ex-perience, both in and out of the classroom,
after that semester.Retention is important because it’s some-
thing that factors into state funding and parents value retention rates, Wallace said, adding that she believes the first year and especially the first semester are key to retention.
Jonathan Strunk, director of communica-tions, said UT’s retention rate for first-year stu-dents who attended UT in fall 2011 and returned in fall 2012 was 62.4 percent.
There will be five portal colleges, Wallace said. Students out of high school go into either the Honors College Portal, for well-prepared students, or the University College Portal for regularly prepared or underprepared students.
The other portals are for online students, graduate students and adult students.
The portal colleges will “own” students’ first-year experience, Wallace said. UT’s First-Year Experience program used to be respon-sible for the first-year transition and Jennifer Rockwood, director of that program for eight years, will be transferred to the College of Vi-sual and Performing Arts, Strunk said.
Strunk said while there will likely be other changes to different departments, no personnel ter-minations are anticipated.
“We are going to be looking at utilizing talents. No service is going away,” Strunk said, adding that portal colleges also integrate services better.
To start off, each portal college will feature one success coach per 600 students. The success coach will be the point person for questions that arise in areas like billing and student life. They will also be proactive in reaching out to students, Wallace said.
Students will still have academic advisers who will work in tandem with success coaches.
Wallace said that UT is in the process of de-veloping training for the future success coaches.
“We’re looking for people who are sensitive to student needs and understand students are customers and are looking for an overall experi-ence when they approach college,” Wallace said, adding that the success coaches should have master’s degrees.
Portal colleges are also a result of student feedback, Wallace said. When asked if programs developed by the First-Year Experience like Crib Notes, which brought guest speakers into dorm settings, or the Iron Chef Competition would be brought back, Wallace said that depends on stu-dent feedback.
“We’re always open to seeking student input and then we create and develop pro-grams,” she said.
The exact number of success coaches and hiring timelines have not been finalized, but jobs will be posted at www.utoledo.edu/depts/hr/. O

Herzing University Online re-cently received accreditation for its Associate of Science in Health Infor-mation Management degree program.
“[It] allows our program graduates to be able to sit for the national certi-fication exam,” said Mary Kay Taylor, program chair of the health informa-tion management, health care manage-ment and insurance billing and coding program. “The only way graduates are able to do that is by graduating from a programmatic accredited program.”
This program helps students pre-pare for jobs in health information management and sharpens their skills in planning, collecting, analyzing and disseminating patient and clinical data in the health care industry, ac-cording to a news release.
“[The accreditation] validates that our curriculum meets the industry standard in health information man-agement,” Taylor said.
Not every program found at other universities is accredited through the
Commission of Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Manage-ment Education (CAHIIM), Taylor said, adding that this puts Herzing one step above the others without accreditation.
According to the news release, it is an important credential to have now that the Patient Protection and Af-fordable Care Act mandates the health care industry’s transition to electronic medical records.
“Our Health Information Manage-ment program is increasingly impor-tant in helping the industry to find qualified staff, and providing students with a path to a high growth career in health care,” said Online President Blake Faulkner in the news release.
Natasha Taylor, a medical billing and insurance coding graduate of the New Orleans campus, said that her degree helped her get her current job.
““If it weren’t for Herzing, I wouldn’t have the job I have. I love my job so much; I’d go there even if I wasn’t getting paid,” she said.
With this degree, students can go on to work in “hospitals, clinics, long-term facilities, consulting firms,

government agencies, insurance companies and software vendors,” according to the news release, which stated the area of study was “perfect for anyone with an interest in computer science, business administration, health science or health administration.”
Herzing University Online offers both a bachelor’s of sci-ence (which takes three to four years to acquire) and an as-sociate degree of science in health information management (which typically takes 16-24 months to acquire).
The mission of the university is to be “career-focused” and “convenient.” The university does that by providing an
online format of courses towards master’s, bachelor’s and associate degrees.
“It’s convenient in that students can log in at any time of day and their research is available to them,” Taylor said.
“Any support that they would need, as far as tutoring support from their instructors, we offer a curriculum that will be supportive of the student no matter where they are.”
Applications are now being accepted for the Health Information Management program. For more informa-tion, students may contact admissions at (866) 771-0605, ext. 832 or by visit www.herzingonline.edu. O

If you have a child with a disability, you know the frustration associated with watching your child struggle
in school and not always having the an-swer for how to help them. This frustra-tion can be intensified if you don’t have an understanding of your and your child’s legal rights.
Federal Legislation called Indi-viduals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) grants students with dis-abilities several rights and protections that states accepting federal funds for education must follow.
IDEA mandates that students with disabilities be granted a free and appropriate edu-cation. The protections and rights granted are too many to list here. How-ever, what follow are a few guiding principles that can help you advocate for your child with a disability.
1. Remember that spe-cial education is not a place. When people my age or older were in school, being identified as a student with a dis-ability probably led to removal from the regular education classroom and instruction in a special education classroom. IDEA mandates that stu-dents with disabilities be included in the regular education classroom to the maximum extent possible.
Think of special education as a continuum of services and accommo-dations that may include help from an aide, modified work from a special education teacher, small group in-struction and extra time to take tests, just to name a few. These services and accommodations can be offered in a regular education classroom, a re-source room or a special education classroom. IDEA mandates that these services are to be delivered in the least restrictive environment.
2. If your child has a disability, he or she will have an Individualized Ed-ucation Plan (IEP). This plan explains your child’s present academic levels, lists specific learning goals which will be targeted and details how and where the goals will be met. As a parent, you are a part of your child’s IEP team, along with teachers and staff from your child’s school.
Often the school will have a draft of the IEP prepared and passed out to the IEP team members prior to the IEP meeting. This causes some parents to think the IEP is already complete, and they don’t say much at the IEP
Meeting. This IEP is not complete, so parents should speak up.
The IEP is prepared beforehand to give the team a framework to discuss your child’s needs. It is not a final doc-ument and it can be changed or com-pletely rewritten. Sometimes another meeting will be necessary if there are significant changes made to the docu-ment at the IEP meeting.
If you have a child with an IEP you will meet yearly with the IEP Team to assess your child’s progress and make changes to the IEP where necessary. These meetings are a good time to
ask questions to find out which members of the IEP Team are the most likely to advocate for your child should there be a problem down the line.
3. Prior to your yearly IEP meeting, figure out some of what you want in your child’s IEP. You
can consult your child’s teacher, your pediatrician, or an advocate or an at-torney if you are unsure about what is appropriate to request.
4. Advocate for your child before you have a major issue with his or her school. Learn about your child’s rights, what works best for your child and speak up regarding your child’s education. Your child’s school has many qualified individuals that care for your child and want to see your child succeed, but you have access to information that the school needs. For example, you have information about your child’s educational history, what has worked for them in the past, how their confidence and friendships have been affected by their disability and other medical conditions that could be affecting their ability to learn.
By fully participating in your child’s education, you can help ensure that the school has access to all of the informa-tion it needs to educate your child.
These suggestions are general in nature. If you have a specific school law issue, I suggest that you contact an attorney or other advocate to help you and your child. O

Katie Rofkar has been better at forecasting the weather than her ca-reer path.
The on-air weather forecaster turned teacher turned school admin-istrator is now the CEO of Nemsys, a technology support firm in the Warehouse District.
“I would have never ever predicted that this is where I would be,” the 32-year-old said.
But her path toward becoming a female leader in a male-dominated industry is more natural than it would seem.
“I went to school for meteorology; that is where it started, but I have a background in technology through that,” she said.
In December, her company relo-cated from 321 Perry St., near Fifth Third Field, to the former home of the Toledo Police Department’s mounted patrol unit at 122 South St. Clair St.
“I was one of those people while growing up here who was like, ‘I am going to leave,’” Rofkar said. “I went to Arizona — as far away as I could pos-sibly get — but as an adult, I really re-alized that there was a lot to offer here in Toledo. That is why I decided to stay and build the business here.”
When Nemsys changed its busi-ness model, Rofkar knew a new loca-tion (with ample parking) would be necessary. With the move, the space went from 1,500 square feet to 7,000.
“We have always provided support and we have always sold [customers] technology, but it was their decision on when to get it,” she said. “We decided to bring the three pieces together. So we now have technology, support and training for one flat fee per month. If you become our client, we give you a computer every three years.”
This is important because after three years, computers have a 40 percent increase in downtime. This downtime equals 4.7 percent per com-puter, which adds up to one work day per month, she said.
Her other focus is training. Rofkar said employees aren’t trained on the
many functions — and time-saving methods — available in their software.
“We know a lot about tech-nology and how people use tech-nology,” Rofkar said. “We can see the downfalls. We know these stats are true — after three years, com-puters have problems.”
Storm chaserAfter Rofkar attended the Univer-
sity of Arizona and then graduated from the Ohio State University in 2002, her problem was finding a job.
“When I came back, the only real job I could do was be on air. We don’t have chief meteorologists who leave very frequently. I still had a passion for
it, but I really liked education. I went into education and got my master’s.”
She taught science at Washington Local Schools, her alma mater, and then moved to Erie-Mason where she became a curriculum and information technology director. During that time she started sharing weather duties with another meteorologist at FOX Toledo. She was Katie Miller then.
“It was kind of interesting because I would go to school and I had seventh graders at the time and they were like, ‘Miss Miller, you did so well on TV. You didn’t screw up.’ Or they were like, ‘Man. you were wrong.’”
Since she was teaching science, part of the curriculum was meteo-
rology and her class would help fore-cast for that evening’s shows.
“It became very taxing when it was spring,” Rofkar said. “I would have to go into the station at 2 in the morning because we had a thunderstorm warning or a tornado warning. Then I had to be at school at 7:30. I was like, ‘I can’t do this anymore.’”
Rofkar said the on-air job was fun and she loved it, but she didn’t want to leave the Toledo area. To advance she would have had to move to a city that needed a chief meteorologist.
When she got married, she quit television and focused on her job at Erie-Mason. However, when she was pregnant, Erie-Mason was facing bud-
getary concerns, and Rofkar would be laid off or have to return to teaching.
“I decided, perfect out, I am pregnant.”
She was in a Dale Carnegie course when she announced she needed an IT guy to help with the transition at Erie-Mason. Two Nemsys employees responded.
“I know what it is like to be on the other side and what their commit-ment is,” she said.
Soon founders Drew McCallum and Matt Nachtrab asked about her plans post-Erie-Mason.
She said, “I am pregnant and that is the least of my worries.”

They suggested she work in sales.“But I don’t know anything about
sales. I am a meteorologist for God’s sakes,” she remembered telling them.
She took the job, though, and when McCallum and Nachtrab de-cided to move to Florida because they had received an investment for Nemsys’ software LabTech, they made her CEO and a partner.
“We brought her in to run sales. Over time, she took over marketing,” Nachtrab said. “As she was doing those functions, we saw she had op-erational strength. She didn’t have a lot of financial experience, but I knew she could learn that over time. She had the ability to look at a company and figure out how to make it operate leaner, more profitably.”
Connect Rofkar is unique in many ways.
She is a female CEO. She is only 32. She is the leader of a technology firm.
She credits her dad, Dan Miller, for developing her interest in a male-dominated subject.
“My dad and I really liked the weather. We would watch the weather. I grew up in Shoreland, and the boaters are the meteorologists. They know what to do; they don’t have to watch the television.”
Her dad said he used to work until 4 a.m. and he would wake up Rofkar and her sister to watch the falling meteors.
“It was neat to watch her on televi-sion,” Miller said. “She wanted to be a storm chaser and she got into televi-sion because she went down to audi-tion for The Face of FOX (Toledo) and when they found out she was a meteo-rologist, they hired her for that.”
Even though she isn’t on TV any-more, Rofkar said studying meteo-rology made her computer savvy be-cause so much of forecasting weather involves technology.
One of Nemsys’ advantages is using technology to fix technology, which is actually not as common as it would seem, according to CFO Blake Underwood.
“Our guys are tech guys; they don’t like to be on the phone,” Underwood said. “They like to solve problems be-fore they become issues. We do cor-rective maintenance before our clients even realize there is a problem.”
Nemsys’ newest product Connect has three components: the latest tech-nology, local 24/7 support and tech-nical training.
“We want to be that insurance for our business,” Rofkar said. “We don’t want our clients calling us to complain about technology. We want them to call us and say, ‘Hey, we are moving; we want to do bigger and better things.’”
Underwood said when Nemsys brings in clients, they become part of the network and whenever a problem is detected, the solution is pushed network-wide.
Rofkar said many IT companies offer the break-fix method of “You are broken, you call us.”
“You can make a lot of money doing that, but the only problem is it isn’t a long-term solution that helps the business,” she said. “We are all en-trepreneurs here within Nemsys and we want to create solutions that help them use their technology in a pro-ductive way.”
Ken Wood, president of Martin + Wood Appraisal Group, is a local client.
“As a small business owner, I like the fact that the Connect pro-gram from Nemsys offers one flat monthly fee for all of our hardware and computing needs while al-lowing us to have new equipment every three years,” Wood said in an email. “On a turnkey basis Nemsys takes care of our computer equip-ment and IT requirements so that we can focus on the other segments of our business.”
Wood said Nemsys is also respon-sive and offers employee computer education opportunities.
A recent session was “Tips and Tricks.” Another session showed cli-ents how to print labels from their computers.
“We offer training that is custom-ized for small businesses,” Under-wood said. “They are one hour, they get lunch, too, and we make sure clients can master them in that time frame. The retention of the informa-tion is pretty strong.”
Social responsibilityRofkar said keeping Nemsys in
Downtown Toledo was a deliberate decision.
“When we were looking for build-ings, this was not the cheapest space. We could have gone out to the sub-urbs, but that wasn’t what was impor-tant and how we can help contribute back to the community.”
Rofkar said the new location was smelly and needed some work be-cause it used to be a horse stable. The hay and water had seeped into the walls and all the studs and drywall had to be replaced.
“It had even infiltrated into the ceiling tiles,” she said.
Rofkar worked with the building’s owner, Dave Ball, to stay Downtown. The stalls for the horses were turned into an open room of work spaces. Hopefully, the pasture will eventually become a community garden as a way to give back, she said.
One way the company is already giving back is by participating in the Art Commission’s Art Walks.
“I think that it is great that they made a commitment for their busi-ness to remain Downtown. As a technology company, there is a great synergy between technology and art,” said Marc Folk, executive director of the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo. “They have done a great job in showing a social re-
sponsibility and showing an active role in supporting the arts.”
One day Rofkar would like Nemsys to be an anchor in the technology cor-ridor that is already starting to de-velop in the Warehouse District with Seed Coworking, Whisper Labs and NORTH design.
“We want to build up those part-
nerships with these other groups so we can provide that complete tech-nology solution,” she said.
Rofkar is about to make a move her-self. She is relocating from Bedford to the Toledo area in time for her daughter, Mackenzie, to start school. This makes her latest forecast a sure thing: being in Toledo for a long time. O

OPINION: Shag ON SPOrtS
It’s hard to believe this weekend will mark Tiger Woods’ 19th time playing in The Masters. It’s also hard to believe he’s back in a position to win another green jacket.After his career spiraled in the past couple of years,
Tiger finally has his ducks in a row. He has three wins this year, regained his No. 1 ranking after the Arnold Palmer Invita-tional, and has a new blonde lady friend. Up next: a fifth win at Augusta.
It’s amazing, because it’s almost as if Wood’s career has plucked parts of it right out of the old “Hero’s Journey” storyline. Also known as the monomyth, it’s a basic outline of storytelling, both in historical and modern stories, as first written down by Jo-seph Campbell. In it, a hero is called into the unknown, is transformed through a series of trials, and comes out having succeeded in not only his quest, but having become a better person. It’s not a perfect allegory, but bear with me as I go step by step.
The start of the monomyth is the toughest part of making the allegory work. The “Call to Adventure” and “Refusal of the Call” simply doesn’t fit: Woods has golfed since he was 2 years old. You’ve seen the Bob Hope video. The “Supernatural Aid” could work if you just call it his unreal natural talent at the game. “Crossing the First Threshold” could be his first amateur win, and entering “The Belly of the Beast” could point to his going pro and signing his endorsement deals.
The middle part of the journey is when this really takes off. The Road of Trials: a series of tasks that the hero must face to begin his transformation. Tournament win after tournament win builds Woods up into the monster of the fairway. An unstoppable being. Golf courses have to change their layouts just so Woods doesn’t completely destroy them.
I’m not so keen on the next part of the myth: “The Meeting With the Goddess.” At first glance, you’d say that was Elin Nordegren, but not so fast — the Meeting is sup-posed to be one that introduces the hero to all-encom-passing, all-powerful love. It’s necessary to anchor the hero
for the trials yet to come. I’m going to say this belongs to Woods’ children, because the next step is the one that fits almost too well.
“The Woman as Temptress.” While the myth doesn’t necessarily have to be tied to a woman, it is supposed to be the temptation of the hero to draw him away from his quest.
The next step comes into the story thanks to the good folks at Nike — remember the commercial that featured a lone shot of Woods in black and white, looking beaten and broken while a recording of his late fa-ther berated him? It was a strange bit of ad-vertising, but it also represents the “Atone-ment With the Father”: a moment where the hero must come face to face with an ultimate power. Earl Woods had always been that
central figure: a single-digit handicapped golfer himself, not to mention a baseball player at Kansas State, it was his father that set him on the course of being a golfer. The words that Nike chose to use in the ad, pulled from older audio, were selected very carefully to make the hero look inside himself: “I want to find out what your thinking was ... Did you learn anything?”
Finally, up to this point, is “Apotheosis.” Woods’ life and ca-reer fell apart for four years, unable to find his stroke. He lost his No. 1 ranking. He started missing cuts. Even as recently as last year, he finished 40th at Augusta. Then, sufficiently humbled and transformed, he finds himself this year. Three wins so far, and the favorite to win his fifth green jacket. What’s next? The “Ultimate Boon.” The goal of the original quest. It’s simple: pass Arnold Palmer. But that’s not the end of the monomyth. The ultimate end is to be the master of both the world you came from, and the world you entered. For professional athletes, the balance of being a player and a person is a difficult one. Woods learned that in 2009. He can only hope that, in the end, he’ll earn that mastery. O

OPINION: MEdIa WatCh
Too bad Ty Pennington is no longer in the business of “Ex-treme Makeover” because To-
ledo needs a “Miserable” one ASAP. Forbes’ annual list of Most Miserable Cities was released recently and once
again Toledo made the Top 20, coming in at No. 11. Detroit was named No. 1 Most Miserable, with Flint, Mich.,
placing No. 2 and Cleveland getting the nod at No. 17. If you are a “half full” kind of person trying to find the good out of the list, Toledo somehow im-proved three spots from last year’s No. 8 ranking.
Am I the only one who is concerned that a national magazine that covers the world’s monies and finance just called my home-town a “miserable” city to live in? Where is the outrage from my fellow citizens? Where are the press confer-ences from our elected officials dis-puting the study or announcing a plan to fight the miserability?
Has Toledo, a city that was founded and formed with fight, backbone and strong work ethic, given up? Have we rolled over? Did we quit? Why did we just let someone call us miserable without answering with a punch?
Forbes used nine factors to formu-late the results: violent crime, unem-ployment, foreclosures, taxes (income and property), home prices, commute times, weather and the recently added “net migration” which measures whether or not the residents feel a community is worth living in.
After reading the criteria used in the study, can anyone honestly blame Forbes? I think the reason why To-ledo was lowered three spots to No. 11 was because of the mild winter we had last year.
When global warming and climate change are the only things positively affecting how miserable we are, then Toledo is doomed.
Toledoans may feel Forbes is picking on us as a city, perhaps even bullying. Judging by our complete lack of a reaction, we may just be adhering to some old motherly ad-vice, “ignore the bullies ... and hope they go away.”
Toledo can no longer ignore Forbes’ Most Miserable Cities List. We have to look the problem in the eye, self-evaluate and try to fix our-selves from within.
Want to know who does not ignore studies like these? Companies looking to move or expand and families looking for a new place to call home. If we could immediately improve these two factors we would eliminate our city’s name from this list.
The city’s leaders, both elected and business, have got to formu-late a plan of attack. I fully under-
stand how hard it is to think out of the box, especially when your days are consumed with legislating pit bulls, saving old buildings,
balancing the budget and monitoring the Lucas County Board of Elections.
In other words, politicians need to stop trying to im-press a man who fled the city and moved to Pittsburgh, while still making them sing and dance via the Blade Phone ... I mean, Bat
Phone. Imagine how much easier it would be to balance the budget if we had an insurgence of new jobs and tax base in the area. You are all in a box and it’s time to find a new one or ways to think outside of it.
“M*A*S*H” is no longer the No. 1 show on TV and Toledo needs to stop acting like it is.
Many people love to criticize former Mayor Carty Finkbeiner and his tenure here running the Glass City ... but not I. Carty would be the one person holding a news con-ference, throwing verbal punches, challenging Forbes to visit our city. Hizzoner’s personality and char-acter perfectly fit the community he served with fight, vigor and a constant desire to make our Toledo better. He spoke before he thought, he believed when no one else would and his heart was always filled with hope. We need a new, younger Carty or Cartys Toledo needs hope.
Joe Napoli and the Toledo Mud Hens cannot be the only ones telling the outside world how great Toledo is. Toledo needs a game plan.
We need to start having some real discussions on how to improve our public image, and those talks need to happen with fresh voices with dif-ferent perspectives.
If companies see a city willing to fight to improve its rankings on Forbes’ Miserable list, than maybe it will see through the dusty facade and identify our depth of character, our strong work ethic, cheaper housing and family values.
We have everything companies look for in a city, we just need to show them. O

This is a great week to conduct exchanges with people who have the knowledge and information you need. Good timing helps Monday and Tuesday. Put energy into goals, push hard after midweek. New friends and romance bloom Friday and Saturday evenings. Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You must use your time and energy effectively. By midweek there are fateful meetings that impact your long-term money and property interests and open new networks. You’re on the move after Thursday, putting forth massive efforts to get things accomplished quickly. Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Your top priority motivates you as the week begins; people are cooperative through Tuesday afternoon. Powerful personalities and fast-changing situations dominate Wednesday. Your comprehensive knowledge is tested. Exciting connections sizzle through the weekend. . Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Family and domestic focus shift to personal goals and results from efforts. Long-term projects take shape. Outcomes are mostly good, although some technical issues/equipment may give troubles. Expert help is delayed. Saturday evening offers superb enjoyment. Leo (July 23-August 22)
Different individuals and groups lure you in new directions. Women are in a position to supply favors and introductions. Exclusive treats arrive on Wednesday.

This is a magical week for love and creativity. Major events and goals are set for June-July. You participate in a process with far-reaching impact. It will be difficult for favorites to take lead roles; proven talent takes the honors. Saturday evening satisfies many lusts.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Courage and risky ventures require security to offset doubts. Others can be careless with your emotions; a bruised ego is possible midweek. Cultural groups give access to aesthetic joys after Thursday. Intellectual exchanges flourish amidst food, drink and laughter. Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
People can be quite aggressive about defending/pursuing their own interests. As efforts are completed, more lofty goals begin to emerge. After Thursday, others want your affection or support – seek equitable terms. Saturday’s activities combine physical and material pleasures. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Goals and a fast timetable compel you to make haste as the week begins. A significant meeting Wednesday inspires you to greater efforts in love or creativity. Practicality and beauty merge. Fervent desires gain strength and peak Saturday. Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
The things that mean the most to you generate rising expectations. You’re motivated to transcend obstacles and reach for a higher level of achievement. Building for the future requires the right tools. Love and affection flow freely as the weekend arrives. Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
A period of busy socializing gives way to a domestic, family-centered focus. You can find what you’re seeking Wednesday. A vision of what you want to create emerges. After Thursday, figure out ways and means. Share ideas and get suggestions Saturday. Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Your diverse social circles lead to opportunities and invitations this week. A man near you has lofty ideas that must be tempered by practicality. After Thursday, romantic feelings unfold, especially when the surroundings emphasize natural beauty and luxury.
