The Lucas County Treasurer's Office along with the Lucas County Commissioner's Office and the United Way of Greater Toledo and non-profit public broadcaster, WGTE Public Media, have produced this video to explain Lucas County's initiative to connect eligible families with Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) trained volunteer help at convenient sites in our area.

With the jobs they hold, many of them simply cannot earn enough to achieve their goals. However, eligible families can get as much as $5,657 from the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Claiming the credits can put an eligible worker on the path to securing better housing, pursuing higher education, obtaining dependable transportation, covering out-of-pocket health care costs, or paying for quality childcare.

Heads of household who worked in 2009, had children living with them, and earned less than $48,279 or did not have children living with them and earned less than $18,440, qualify for this helpful and free tax preparation assistance.

Run Time: 1:01:22

Dr. Martin Kilmer, retired Professor of Classics, University of Ottawa, presented The Norse and their Neighbors in Northern Newfoundland. The presentation was held at the University of Toledo.

Bird Cove is a multi-faceted archaeological site on the west coast of Newfoundland, north of Gros Morne Park and south-southwest of LAnse aux Meadows. Current population of the area is under three hundred. The site has been inhabited intermittently since 4530 +/- 60 BP (about 2500 BCE). Maritime Archaic Indians lived there first (their sites are found as far away as the northern coast of Labrador and coastal Maine).

Bird Cove presents a number of challenges for the study of food habits: the substrate is limestone, making plant remains fragile at best; the soil is peat, whose acidity tends to dissolve bone very quickly. Since the muscle tissue people prefer to eat does not survive well archaeologically, whats left? In fact, there is a surprising amount of information. Some of the comparison data comes from the Norse (Viking) site at LAnse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, occupied around AD 1000.

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:00:10 EST

Run Time: 36:43

Dr. Bob Brier, Senior Research Fellow, Long Island University spoke for the Archaeological Institute of America. The presentation was held at the Toledo Museum of Art.

The presentation was regarding the Great Pyramid of King Khufu on the Giza Plateau. Egyptologists simply do not know how the ancient Egyptians raised thousands of two-ton blocks of stone to build the 480-foot pyramid. This lecture presented a radical new theory and the recently discovered evidence for it. For years French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin worked in isolation in a one-room flat in Paris with nothing but his computer and detailed blueprints of the pyramid. In 2003 he contacted Egyptologist Bob Brier and the two began working together to find evidence for his theorythat inside the pyramid is a mile-long ramp still waiting to be discovered. In the course of their explorations, they uncovered a room high up on the pyramids northeast corner. Recently, Houdin, working with Dassault Systemes, Paris, was also able to demonstrate that the Great Pyramid cracked as it was being built and to pinpoint precisely when and why. This research was the subject of a recent National Geographic Channel TV special.

Dr. Bob Brier has worked in Egypt for more than thirty years and is one of the worlds foremost authorities on mummies. He is Senior Research Fellow at the C. A. Post Campus of Long Island University in Brookville, New York, where he teaches Egyptology courses such as "Middle Egyptian (Hieroglyphs)" and a seminar called "The Mummy." In 1994 Dr. Brier made international headlines when he and his colleagues, Ronald Wade, became the first people in 2000 years to mummify a human cadaver in the ancient Egyptian manner. Using ancient tools and materials, Dr. Brier replicated the mummification of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. The story of the project has reached more than 25 million readers, TV viewers, and radio-listeners worldwide and was the subject of a National Geographic TV documentary, "Mr. Mummy." Dr Briers previous projects include reconstructing the tomb of an Egyptian nobleman, complete with accurate hieroglyphs, for the Hillwood Art Museum at C.W. Post. He is the author of numerous books, including The Murder of Tutankhamen (1998), Encyclopedia of Mummies (1998), Egyptian Mummies (1994), and Ancient Egyptian Magic (1990). He has collaborated on numerous television specials and was the host of the six-part series The Great Egyptians, the three-part series "Unwrapped, the Mysterious World of Mummies," and recently a series about his research called "Mummy Detective." Dr Brier is currently studying mummies to determine whether Alzheimers disease existed among the ancient Egyptians.

Dr. Lancaster, Professor of Classics, Ohio University, presented a lecture that examined a building technique used in Roman North Africa for constructing vaults by means of small hollow terracotta tubes that are inserted one into another and glued together with mortar.

Recent field surveys have produced a wealth of new information regarding ancient agricultural technology for olive production, ceramic production for the amphoras containing the olive oil, and also fine ware production. The proliferation of the vaulting tubes was also part of this period of economic growth related to increased agricultural production.

The lecture was part of the Toledo Museum of Art "Its Friday" series.

These investigations turned up a rich archaeological record of life on Lake Erie which lasted for nearly 5,000 years. Evidence of at least three major occupations indicates that the site grew from a small fishing camp, to an important burial ground, to a large village populated by maize farmers. The discoveries of rare shell burial artifacts and evidence of the use of prehistoric cotton reveal trade connections to the Gulf of Mexico and possibly the Southwest.

Katie Swartz | Rain Garden Initiative | October 11, 2008

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 19:00:13 EST

Run Time: 41:14

Katie Swartz introduces the Rain Garden Initiative of Toledo-Lucas County with a look back at the summer of 2006. Citizens in Toledo and Lucas County sustained heavy flooding from a series of rainstorms. The rainwater from these storms exceeded the capacity of the ditches and storm sewers on which the area depends to collect storm water and transport it safely to our rivers and lakes. The volume of storm water is increased in urban areas like Toledo because we have impervious surfaces like parking lots, roads and buildings that cause the water to run off instead of being absorbed into the ground. In response, our Congresswoman, Marcy Kaptur, suggested that we need to find ways to encourage the infiltration of storm water into the ground instead of trying to build bigger and better ditches and sewers in Toledo and Lucas County. She was inspired by an effort to build 10,000 rain gardens in Kansas City, Missouri.

Publisher, Acorn Publishing, says of the book (written with Bob Hoffman) -

"In war years that took six million Jewish lives in unthinkable atrocities, this book exposes how Poland and her people were also caught in the path of the Nazi war machine.
This eye-witness account of a child survivor of concentration camps, torture, and medical experimentation offers authentic documentation of what happened in these most heinous facilities.
Mitch's perspective is unique: his family was not Jewish, but Catholic.
He was not a Polish citizen, but an American. History is starkly personal. Here, the experiences of one family provide a broader perspective on the devastating impact of the Third Reich on Poland.
Beyond the horror, this true story exults in the commonality and will to survive that all humans have somewhere deep within them.
A story of remarkable courage, compassion, and insight."
