Page 4 — June 26, 2012 — HOLLAND-SPRINGFIELD JOURNALAgreement paves way for artifact’s return to ItalyA rare Etruscan blackfigurekalpis, which hasbeen traced back to 510B.C., can now be returned tothe government of Italy followingan agreementbetween the United Statesand the Toledo Museum ofArt.The kalpis, a ceramicvessel used in ancient timesfor holding water, depicts amythological scene ofpirates being transformedinto dolphins by Dionysos,as well as other scenes. Itwas smuggled out of Italyafter an illegal excavationprior to 1981. It was thensold in 1982 to the ToledoMuseum of Art by art dealersGianfranco and UrsulaBecchina, who had earlierpurchased it from convictedart smuggler GiacomoMedici. The Becchinas misrepresentedthe true provenanceof the vase to themuseum by providing falsifieddocumentation, accordingto court records.“This is an example ofour office, ICE HSI and theToledo Museum of Artworking collaboratively toreturn this artifact to itsrightful place,” said StevenDettelbach, United StatesAttorney for the NorthernDistrict of Ohio. “A culturalartifact such as this hasvalue beyond their price tag,and we are proud that it willbe returned to Italy later thisyear.”“This agreement establishesthe true provenance ofthe kalpis and reconnectsthis valuable artifact to itsrightful cultural origin andhistory," said BrianMoskowitz, special agent incharge of ICE HSI in Michiganand Ohio. “We applaudthe integrity of the ToledoMuseum of Art for theirwillingness to ensure thatthis piece is repatriated to itsThis Etruscan black-figure kalpis will be returned to thegovernment of Italy.home country.”The kalpis is valued atmore than $665,000, accordingto court documents.Following a January2010 lead from U.S. Immigrationand CustomsEnforcement HomelandSecurity Investigation’s(ICE HSI) Rome attaché,Cleveland-based HSI specialagents launched an investigationinto the true provenanceof the artifact. Workingclosely with lawenforcement officials inItaly, HSI agents were ableto definitively establish thatthe documentation providedto the Toledo Museum of Artwas falsified and part of alarger scheme by the Becchinasto sell illegitimatelyobtained cultural property.Gianfranco Becchina wasconvicted in February 2011of illicitly dealing in antiquitiesby a court in Rome.The Kalpis will be formallyrepatriated in an officialceremony later this yearwith the Toledo Museum ofArt, federal officials andrepresentatives from the Italiangovernment.The settlement comesafter an investigation byU.S. Immigration and CustomsEnforcement’s (ICE)Homeland Security Investigations(HSI). It was handledby Assistant UnitedStates Attorney Guillermo“Bill” Rojas.ODOT to enhance wrong way signageThe Ohio Department ofTransportation (ODOT) isin the process of finalizingsystematic upgrades of theDo Not Enter, Wrong Wayand One Way signs to the2012 OMUTCD (OhioManual on Uniform TrafficControl Devices) standards.Drivers along the ToledoMetro Interstate may havenoticed the upgrades onexisting signs along freewayand expressway interchanges.The work currentlybeing performed is partof an ongoing systematicsign replacement program,which provides for trafficcontrol signs to be replacedon a regularly scheduledbasis to assure adequate levelsof nighttime visibility.By the end of 2012,ODOT intends to upgradesignage along freeway andexpressway interchanges toenhance the visibility ofsignage for wrong way drivers.These upgrades weredetermined after researchingthe best practices inOhio and the United Statesand a review of the appropriatestate and federal standards.On all interchange rampsin Lucas, Henry, Ottawa,Sandusky and Wood counties,ODOT will install supplementalwrong way signson both of the existingwrong way installations onthe non-cloverleaf exitramps. These supplementalwrong way signs will beinstalled at a three footmounting height.Research indicates that alower mounting heightmakes the signs more visibleat night because lowersigns are in the path of acar’s headlights andimpaired and older drivers,who tend to drive with theireyes low, look for visualcues from the pavementarea.Additional countermeasuresfor interchangeswhere the entrance and exitramps are side by side (partialcloverleaf interchange)include installing dualdirectional route markerassemblies at the ramp endsand the installation of pavementmarking arrows forpositive guidance on theentrance ramps.Wrong way crashes arerelatively infrequent but aremore likely to produce seriousinjuries and fatalitiescompared to other types ofcrashes. Driving the wrongway on freeways has been atraffic safety concern sincethe interstate highway systemwas developed.By Dana DammanPrincipalStudents of the MonthDorr Elementary Schoolhonored it's March-MayCharacter Students of theMonth at a recent assembly.The following list identifiesthose students who exemplifiedthe very best of eachcharacter trait during the designatedmonths, including:MarchPerseveranceKindergarten: Leah Runkle,Jace Watson, AizlynnFields.March Character Students of the Month were recognized for demonstrating perseverance.Dorr Elementary School NewsFirst: Jeffrey Myers,Aidan Lashley, Zack Lojewski,Krysta Wilczynski.Second: Adrian Miller,Markiya Cunningham, BryceKline, Samantha Mayberry.Third: Anieska Fugate,Jesuse Cordero, Cassidy Szymanski.Fourth: Krystafer Freeman,Jenna Butler, TylerKelly, Ciarra Seman.Fifth: Jon Lukitsch, ShaneGilbert.AprilHonesty/TrustworthinessKindergarten: DylanChapman, Noah Banton,Amore’re Hughes, TimoniHunt.First: Danyeil Petrey,CeVe Mock, Amanda Wahl.Second: Andi Mandracken,Sophia Vasquez, AmaarZarrieff, Rachael Arnold.Third: Jariah Elliott, YoelYacob, Dominik Monroe.Fourth: Jemaaleon Boaston,Taylor Briggs, JustinGartee, McKenna Pietrowski.Fifth: AJ Gucciardo, JacobNewman, Jordyn Walton.MayFairnessKindergarten: KamrynMerrill, Jake Lehman, KelaGrooms.First: Ashlyn Chapman,Demontae Young, AdrianRantanen.Second: Brad Runkle, JasmiaPope, Genevieve Liebherr.Third: Kalob Hoot, LaurenKuras, Jersey Hashim.Fourth: Sidney Boggs,Logan Benner, SebastianCamino, Dylan Albright,Tra’onna Chatman.Fifth: Bethany Yglesias,Victoria Wetzel, Marie Smith.Character Students of the Month for April, above, were recognized for their honesty/trustworthiness.

He sees himself as theboss, and all of the othercats will quickly step asideto allow Shrek the bestplaces to sleep, first dibs atthe food bowl, and all of thebest toys to play with.Shrek is an active kitty. He takes what he wants, and the entireworld is his playground. He loves to have new areas to explore,things to climb on, and he specializes in stealth attacksfrom hidden places.Despite being a spirited animal, he is actually very gentlewhen he plays with people. As long as you’re not overly aggressivewith him, he will play nicely with you. Other catsdon’t really like Shrek, so he would be best suited for a homewhere he is the only kitty. You won’t get any cuddling out ofthis feline, but if you’re looking for a playful and feisty companion,Shrek’s antics are entertaining to watch.For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society,1920 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee or call 419-891-0705.All adoptable animals can be viewed by visiting the Web siteat www.toledoareahumanesociety.orgGARAGE SALES541 CAMBRIDGE ParkNorth, Maumee.
