SUMMER TIPS FROM LUXE #OSMETIC 3URGERY While most people don’t associate summer with cosmetic surgery, it’s actually one of the most popular times to get something done.

Downtime with modern procedures is minimal, to the point that you’ll be back in a bathing suit only a couple weeks after breast augmentation,so a lot of patients use summer vacations or relaxed schedules to make room for a procedure they’ve been thinking about.

&ILLERS A fresh round of lip filler is one of the most popular summer treatments, as it gives a bright summer smile that little something extra. Fillers like Juvederm, Volbella, and Vollure are always popular, but the summer is a great time to do it for that beach-kiss photo.

"OTOX Boaters lines (otherwise known as crow’s feet) from squinting can be easily treated with a few units of Botox. This is one of the best tips that pro boaters know, and it’s the best way to prevent those lines.

It’s not just for boaters, though, as it relaxes any squint lines or “summer wrinkles� for any sun lover.

Lookin’ good

Toledo Metroparks rangers were recently announced as winners of the Best Dressed Small Law Enforcement Agency (for a department under 100 officers) by the National Association of Uniform Manufacturers & Distributors (NAUMD). The Metroparks rangers, outfitted by Superior Uniform Sales, wear a variety of uniform items, primarily black pants and olive green Armorskin vest carriers made of a polyester/cotton ripstop material. “Looking like the official law enforcement officers that they are, while having the utility to patrol the parks on foot, bicycles, or in vehicles is important to our ranger staff,” said Joe Fausnaugh, chief of operations for Metroparks of the Toledo Area. “In the park district, we pride ourselves on providing clean, safe, natural parks, with great customer service from our staff. That includes looking our best.” Now they have the award to prove it. –JK

Charting new waters

For 30 years, The Sandpiper has given Toledoans adventures on the Maumee River. Docked in downtown Toledo at Promenade Park, the 65-foot, 100passenger boat has offered river cruises and unique views of the Toledo skyline to groups, individuals and couples. In November, former operator Mary Dalby sold the boat to Paul and Jodie Lis, of J&M Cruise Lines. Mr. Lis, a commercial captain licensed with a 100-ton ship certification from the U.S. Coast Guard, has worked for Ms. Dalby for the past six years. The new operators will maintain The Sandpiper’s schedule from last year, still offering two-hour Thursday lunch cruises (11:30am), Saturday “Discover the River” cruises (10am), and sunset cruises on Sunday (8pm). Favored monthly events, such as cigar cruises (7pm on Tuesday, July 11), lighthouse cruises (12:30pm on Sunday, July 16), musical dinner cruises (6:30pm on Wednesday, July 12), among others, will also continue. The Sandpiper now accepts credit cards and have begun online bookings. Private cruises on the river are also available. 1 Jefferson Ave., 419-537-1212. sandpiperboat.com —AC

You get Ohio Chautauqua, a 19thcentury tradition of bringing history to life through a five-day celebration of music, education and performances full of audience participation. Enjoy daytime activities, interesting lessons and unique performances that bring icons like Marie Curie into present day. Head to Milan from June 27-July 1 for the last stop on Ohio Chautauqua’s big tent summer tour.

Schedule varies. See online for more information. Milan Public Square, Milan, OH. 1-800-293-9774. ohiohumanities.org/ohio-chautauqua/ milan-2017 Free —AC

Construction fantasy Live out your youthful fantasies of working some heavy duty construction equipment without starting a second career. Hocking Hills Sandbox, a new tourist attraction in SE Ohio, allows visitors to operate track loaders, a bulldozer and excavators. You can also ride 60 feet up in a cherry picker to survey the entire 15 acre construction site. Don’t feel like getting your hands dirty? It might make the perfect trip for your kids or grandkids. There are only six opportunities of this caliber in the U.S., and now one of them is near enough to try for yourself. There’s even an on-site gift shop so kids (and adults) can take home miniatures of the equipment. Pricing varies based on the package selected, but most experiences start at $100. 16412 Thompson Ridge Rd., Laurelville. For more information, call 1-800-462-5464 or visit explorehockinghills.com. –JK

Finance

“There Is nothing more upsetting and, frankly harder to deal with, than when I get a recently purchased a used car with issues that could have been detected. An inspection cannot, of course, eliminate all surprises but we can rule out quite a few,” Davenport says.

Navigating the Auto Market

Financing

The ever-changing landscape of shopping for a car

By Chris Watson Car buying used to be simple. If you could afford a new car, you picked the model and color at your favorite dealership, signed some paperwork, then diligently made payments and drove that car until it gave up from exhaustion. Or— a less expensive alternative— you saved some money and sought out a used car, selecting the best one, paying little heed to the brand or color.

Those days are gone. With a vast inventory of new and used cars on the market, the ability of the internet to pinpoint the price and type of vehicle you want, a word salad of financing options for used vehicles, plus newer options like leasing and certified preowned, consumers have never had so much choice in where, how, and how much to spend on a vehicle.

“A good salesperson isn’t going to just show you what they have,” says Jeff Straub, a sales associate at Yark Automotive Group. “Our job is to get a feel for your driving habits, your needs, and your future plans. It is critical to think through these basic questions before walking onto a car lot. I get people all the time who tell me that this is the last car they will ever buy. That puts us in a very different set of parameters than someone who, for instance, is looking for an efficient vehicle as a second car or commuter vehicle.”

In the world of new cars it breaks down to buying or leasing. Straub always explains all options. “This is why it is so important to get a good feel for how the car is being used.

Leasing has gotten easier and much more available. If a driver intends to keep their car for less than four years and has a good idea of their annual mileage, we can write a lease that will make sense.” If you don’t fit the leasing parameters, he explains, then buying is likely a better option.

Roger Davenport, owner of K&R Auto Repair in Sylvania offers several key tips for buying a used car.

you may not understand, trusting the person who is doing the work is everything.”

If you are buying a car outside of a dealership or direct from an individual seller, Davenport recommends taking it to a certified mechanic for inspection.

“We look at everything but the first thing welookforisrust.Thereisnothinganyone can do about long-term rust. A good mechanic will tell you what they can see on the horizon, including basic things like tires.

Financing is one of the most difficult issues in car purchasing. According to WalletHub.com financing through dealerships is one of your best options, with credit unions coming in second.

Credit falls into play along with insurance costs on financed vehicles.

However, both financing and leasing are necessary in today’s market, as the average cost of a new vehicle tops $34,000.

Regardless of the type, place, make or model of your vehicle, it all comes down to budget. It is not enough to simply understand your “payment.”

Before you sign any paperwork it is best to fully understand what you are signing. The more transparent the institution or dealership is with its certifications, financial partners, and, above all, customer satisfaction ratings, the better.

Used and pre-owned

“Our job is to get a feel for your needs,” says Yark Automotive Group’s Jeff Straub.

Banner year in new cars

According to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) 17.5 million new cars were sold or leased in the US last year. Of course, new car sales represent only a fraction of the estimated 264 million vehicles registered in the US. With that many cars in our garages and on our roads, it is no wonder there are so many options available.

July 2017

“Budget is a consideration,” says Straub. “In many cases this will put the buyer into a certified pre-owned or used vehicle.” The basic difference is that certified pre-owned goes through a rigorous dealership inspection and may, depending on the age of the vehicle, extend the bumper-tobumper warranty.

Mechanics of trust

Once you have passed beyond that certification and into the used car arena, a second consideration comes into play: the mechanic. “Nothing reduces stress in the world of driving like trusting your mechanic,” says Roger Davenport, owner of K&R Auto Repair in Sylvania. “Cars today are complicated, which is why my mechanics and I obtain so many certifications. When you are spending that much money on something that

Grandparents in Transition The Evolving Realities of Kinship Care

By Chris Watson We all know the grandparents, aunts, or uncles we want to be. That image, brought to us from television, is the funny and charming star who, played by a beloved veteran actor, brings wisdom and levity into a household filled with rules and homework. All of us want that role. And we’ve waited a lifetime to play it.

Yesterday’s sitcom has not evolved into today’s reality. Increasingly, family trauma and strife has forced these traditionally part time roles to become central characters in a child’s life. Often, extended family— and grandparents in particular— have become the lead players in child care. The “grand” in grandparent has been lost, morphing for better or worse into simply “parent”.

parent-headed households, or about 7 percent.

More staggering according to the Pew Charitable Trust, the number of children with grandparents as the primary or sole care providers grew 16% in the decade starting in 2005. And this is no shortterm living arrangement. Forty two percent of these grandparents or other non-parent family members will provide care for five or more years.

The Kinship Care Challenge

“It is a daunting task,” remarks Arcelia Armstrong, Coordinator of the Caregiver Support and Kinship Navigator Programs at the Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio. “Many grandparents or family members are asked to step into a parenting role at a moment’s notice, often under difficult and dramatic circumstances. Most of us don’t have raising an infant in our retirement plans.”

It is a deep and growing problem. Armstrong, who is a 21-year veteran at the Area Office on Aging, sees these issues daily. “For every child placed formally in foster care with a grandparent, there are 20 children being raised by grandparents outside of foster care. This care can be called upon on a repeated, on again off again basis.”

Michael O’Shea, who retires this year as Superintendent of Springfield Local Schools

The Changing Reality

“There is no question change has occurred in who is caring for our kids,” says Michael O’Shea, who retires this year as Superintendent of Springfield Local Schools. “We have 12% of our kids who are either doubled up or fully living with relatives.”

Doubling up is a term used for children who have children moving back in with parents. “Many of these parents have job or financial troubles and want to stay within the district. Moving in with grandparents or relatives is an obvious solution.

These situations may be temporary and have always been with us.”

O’Shea emphasizes the landscape change.

“What has risen so dramatically is the grandparents who are the full-time caregivers for the student. Our grandparent caregivers are entering an education system that has changed since they last had contact. Naturally when a grandparent takes custodial care of child that situation comes with a history. We recognize that all of us can fall into circumstances we have little control over and we try to meet that caregiver and their students’ needs as best we can with our resources available.”

What O’Shea sees anecdotally in his district plays out nationally as well. According to a study by the Population Reference Bureau (www.prb.org), one in fourteen children in the US live in grand-

As the Caregiver Support and Kinship Navigator Programs Coordinator at the Area Office on Aging, Arcelia Armstrong, sees kinship care daily.

This increase, explains Armstrong, is the primary driver of the Kinship Navigator Program.

The program started as a partnership between Lucas County Job and Family Services, Lucas County Children Services and the Office on Aging. After a 3-year demonstration grant finalized, it was up to local counties and regions to extend the program.

“Although our agency covers 10 counties across Northwest Ohio,” says Armstrong, “kinship care programs very from county to county depending on funding. Regardless of your county, we are a good place to start. We can review the grandparents’ options and connect them to the services that they qualify for.”

Resources for Kinship Care usa.gov/child-care: A starting point for grandparents who seek assistance and aid from governmental sources. These normally require a formalized, legal relationship which may be temporary or permanent. raisingyourgrandchildren.com: A general information website, edited by Author Karen Best Wright with starting information and web resources about kinship child care and parenting. grandfamilies.org: Grandfamilies.org is collaboration amongst three different organizations to provide a nexus for kinship parenting, including legal, private, federal and state resources, with particular emphasis on legal rights and challenges. areaofficeonaging.com: The Area Office on Aging of Northwest Ohio kinship program. co.lucas.oh.us: Lucas County Children Services has several programs to assist kinship caregivers.

There are many challenges. It is not as simple as bringing a child into your home. Grandparents face a host of issues when accepting a grandchild into their homes. “We begin with something as simple as custody,” says Armstrong. “Many grandparents have never faced any legal or personal issues. Now they are in what can be an adversarial situation.

Many feel that seeking custody is somehow giving up hope on their adult child.”

Challenges extend beyond legal to a world of daycare, special needs, insurance, summer camp and education. Even technology issues have changed.

Most grandparents never had to face computer time, internet use, or even when to get a child a cell phone. Those issue didn’t exist when they were last active parents.

Help and Hope are Available

“Going from a fixed, retirement oriented income to full-time raising grandkids can be an instant financial and emotional issue,” explains Armstrong.

The financial issues are obvious. The Kinship Navigator Program, through their partnership and connection to other county and state agencies, can provide guidance in obtaining financial support for minor children, obtaining medical and behavioral health services, school enrollment, even providing links to basic services like food, clothing, and utility assistance.

www.mlivingnews.com

July 2017

But the Kinship Navigator Program doesn’t stop at resources. They have a wide variety of parenting classes and support networks to encircle the grandparent during their time in the parenting driver’s seat. “We always want to take the long view, with the hope of reuniting children with their parents,� says Armstrong. The nice thing about our program is that, through our strong partnership with other agencies, we can wrap our arms around the whole family, regardless of how that family is composed.�

“I have seven grandkids,� says O’Shea, whose grandkids range in age from 10 years to 6 weeks. “I have come to realize that, as someone who will soon be retired, I would need all the help I could get if I was called upon to raise kids again. Every time I am with my grandkids I am quickly reminded how much effort it takes to raise kids in a healthy, safe, and loving environment. Any grandparent who takes on this task needs all the support we can give.�

Savings Long Term Care Insurance Is it worth the money?

By Chris Watson Discussing insurance, any type of insurance, can become contentious.

A conversation, as we age, on what coverages we need or don’t need often seems more centered in politics than coverage and affordability. Long term care insurance is no different. Tied into what is and isn’t “health care”, whether certain coverage is necessary, if you should buy, when you should buy and then, what to buy are difficult topics. Long term care insurance is a topic no one wants to think about at 50, but at 85, there may not be any viable options to discuss.

rent state of health. It is important to be able to cast a wide net when looking for a product that fits both your needs and you financial resources.

Statistically people think that LTC insurance costs twice what it actually costs. Investigate your options before purchasing.”

Carter Laytart, a Certified Long Term Care Agent, recommends benefitting from the past experiences of family and friends.

Ronda Cobb, BSME, a Licensed Long Term Care Insurance Independent Agent, is also the financial expert on the Dr. Sam Show.

(WLQR 100.7 FM)

Long term care insurance, like seemingly everything involved with health care and insurances, is steeped in abbreviations and coverage explanations.

But, like all plans it comes down to a simple question: how much for how much? Put simply, long term care insurance is about providing for payments to help with what professional care providers call “Activities of Daily Living” or ADL’s. In layman’s language those daily living activities refer to bathing, dressing, eating, personal care (like hair and toilet care), mobility and transfer issues.

Shopping for insurance

“It is really important to have a wide selection of options when looking for LTC insurance, rather than one product,” claims Ronda Cobb, BSME, a Licensed Long Term Care Insurance Independent Agent. “LTC insurance is incredibly dependent on your cur-

July 2017

Cobb, with a broad range of experience in financial, retirement, and individual health care planning, is the financial expert on the Dr. Sam Show (WLQR 100.7 FM) and hosts her own show on sobradionetwork. com. “Of course we don’t like to think about long term care. None of us want to think about in home care, assisted or skilled nursing care. However, the truth is that 70% of people over 70 will need long term care of some kind.

This type of care is only minimally covered by Medicare. The rest must be covered out of pocket.”

The pro’s, why invest in LTC insurance

The most important reason to invest in LTC insurance is simply financial. This year according to Ohio. gov and longtermcare.gov, the average cost to stay in a skilled nursing facility (in Ohio) in a semi private room is $5000 per month. In home health care, on average, costs $21 per hour while adult day care runs an average of $67 per day.

“It is hard to talk to people in their early 50s about long term care insurance,” says Carter Laytart, a Certified Long Term Care Agent with New York Life. “They best way to start thinking

about the problem is to use your own experience. Everyone has either been through the long term or rehab process with a family member or knows someone who has. Many active adults who purchase insurance may have already been through the process. Regardless, between friends and family you can get a real sense for how expensive and problematic the process can be on your kids or spouse.”

The first, most glaring benefit, is asset retention. “Ohio and Michigan are partnership states,” explains Cobb.

“Which means that during a Medicaid spend down you get to retain three times more assets than you would if you weren’t insured.” Being able to retain more assets can mean a great deal to surviving spouses and/or estate beneficiaries.

Laytart agrees. “Like all insurances, this is about about protection, both assets and choice. It certainly allows the insured the ability to retain more of their personal assets. If the right policy is constructed, a person may never face a Medicaid spend down or even much of a dent in their financial estate. It also gives a measure of time and choice. Time for making vital decisions about the long term needs of the insured. Choice when it comes to both where and how that care is delivered.”

That matter of choice is crucial. “By being insured,” explains Cobb, “you retain much more control over where you receive your long term care. This can include geographics (such as area of town, city, or even state), type of facility, and proximity to your family or support network. If you rely on Medicaid those types of choices narrow significantly”

The cons, is it really worth it?

There is no question that LTC insurance is a financial investment and cost is directly related to both your age and your general health. Many find the cost too difficult to carve out of a monthly budget. Although costs vary

and, according to Cobb, are modulating downward, it is still a fiscal commitment. Above all you need to buy early in the retirement preparation cycle, something that many people don’t view as a priority.

“There are ways to mitigate the cost,” explains Laytart. “Policies can be tailored to individual needs, including inflation riders and spousal discounts. Some companies may offer a dividend on the policy. This is a function of time and may reduce the premium payment in the later stages of the policy.”

Second, LTC insurance cannot be allowed to lapse. If you drop out for any reason you have to re qualify for the insurance, which for many becomes more difficult and expensive.

Third, LTC policies have caps and/or maximums for care payments either per year or lifetime. Many people find those types of limitations distasteful.

Above all, Laytart recommends a broad view of your retirement and care needs. “This is all about legacy planning. By having LTC insurance you are taking active steps toward protecting what you leave for your spouse or family. You can also ensure that, if your family chooses to care for you at home, they can afford the support they need for that style of care, including in-home medical and general help.

This is a decision about choosing how and when you use your financial assets while, potentially, protecting estates in the long term. LTC insurance is one option in a broad arsenal of financial instruments that can build a secure retirement picture.”

Laser Focused on Rosacea and Broken Blood Vessels on the Face

By Dr. Matthew A Molenda, FAAD, MBA, FACMS, FASDS

Broken blood vessels and persistent facial redness are common issues for patients aged 40 and up. Fortunately, treatments are are now available that can erase visible blood vessels, reduce Rosacea, and minimize persistent redness and flushing.

Those with Rosacea typically experience one or more of the following symptoms: acne-like lesions, broken blood vessels, persistent facial redness, and/or thickening of the skin on the nose (Rhinophyma). While there is no cure for Rosacea, a number of treatments are highly effective for managing these various symptoms.

Laser or light-based treatments like Broad Based Light (BBL) are the only effective treatments for broken blood vessels and facial redness. Patients with facial redness can achieve exceptional results when they combine these laser treatments with the new topical prescription treatment RhofadeTM which was recently approved by the FDA for facial redness.

The Excel V laser by Cutera can literally make blood vessels disappear and is a gold standard in the treatment of certain types of Rosacea. When a patient has a lot of brown spots and sun damage, which contributes to Rosacea, BBL treatments can be added to fade the sun damage and redness. BBL is also a great maintenance treatment to keep broken vessels from returning.

For Rhinophyma, CO2 resurfacing can shrink and shape the nose into a normal contour. The Lumenis Ultrapulse laser is the most powerful CO2 laser on the market and can treat Rhinophyma with excellent results when performed by a qualified laser operator.

Don’t let just anyone treat your face with a laser! Burns and scarring can happen.

Seek an office managed by a residency-trained, board-certified dermatologist with laser experience. Lasers performed in dermatology offices typically use more effective settings and have less complications. The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery is a great resource to find a qualified laser surgeon: www.asds.net.

Looking Back

Richard Health Stystems

Ned Skeldon Toledo’s Visionary

By Tom Cole The name Ned Skeldon invokes smiles on the faces of Toledoans even today. Ned passed away several years ago, but his energy, innovations and passion for Toledo still remain fresh in the minds of many. Ned was special; he believed in Toledo and its citizens and workforce. He knew the potential of our great city.

During his professional career he spent many of his waking hours thinking of inventive ways to put our city on the map and make it an outstanding place to live. Ned saw things that others did not; he was a man who had the ability to envision a better life in Toledo for all of us.

Mud Hens Arrive In 1965, Ned thought it would be a great idea to bring minor league baseball back to Toledo at the Lucas County Recreation Center. Many people thought this was foolish, asking what impact it could possibly have on our community.

Ned thought bringing the Mud Hens back to Toledo would benefit our community on many levels and was sure that creating family entertainment was vital to our area’s growth.

He believed the economics of minor league baseball would create jobs, bring additional tourism to the city and also develop ancillary businesses to coincide with the Mud Hens baseball team. The Mud Hens returned but he was criticized for this.

He hired Gene Cook as GM of the Hens, and, later, Cook hired Joe Napoli as assistant GM. We all know how those hires turned out. These two men along with Ned have forever changed the paradigm of our Toledo sports landscape in the most positive fashion.

Without Ned Skeldon’s vision and insight there would be no Mud Hens Fifth Third Field, the best Triple-A stadium in all of minor league base-

The Home Healthcare Agency & STNA Training Center

Ned Skeldon brought Mud Hens baseball back to Toledo

ball. The Mud Hens’ move downtown has been a linchpin in our city center’s resurgence.

Ned also brought semi-pro football back to Toledo with the incredible success of the Toledo Tornadoes. He created the Lucas County pools and acquired Centennial and Whitehouse Quarries for more family entertainment, which also created thousands of jobs for high school and college kids in the Toledo area.

Excellent healthcare in the comfort & privacy of your own home

Swimming the Maumee When the Maumee River was declared biologically dead in the 1960s, Ned knew we desperately needed to preserve and maintain the waterway for a myriad of reasons, including the quality of life and economics. Ned decided to form a company called Clearwater Incorporated to rehabilitate the Maumee.

In 1973 Ned swam the Maumee in a unique publicity promotion that brought out thousands of people to the banks of the river. After his swim, Ned got to the other side and drank a glass of water from the river. By 1978 the Maumee River had been cleaned up and boating and fishing industries had returned. Today the walleye fishing industry is one of the best in the world and it has become a tremendous source of revenue for our area.

Ned Skeldon was a man of unlimited ideas, clear futuristic vision and one who truly believed in Toledo and its citizens. He was one of the great visionaries in the history of the City of Toledo.

(Full disclosure: Ned was like a second father to me all my life.

He even introduced me to my wife, Karen, saying, “I think you two would make a great couple.” Forty-two years of marriage later, Ned, again, was spot on. )

Senior Exercise and Fitness

Keep Active â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Keep Fit

by Stephen Roberts PhD

Jake Westhoven personal trainer

As an older person, improving your physical fitness is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Exercise can prevent many health problems and allows you to engage independently in activities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) exercise: n Helps control arthritis pain n Can possibly help decrease high blood pressure n Helps increase muscle strength and endurance n Contributes to healthy bones and joints n Decreases anxiety and depression n Decreases risk of death from coronary heart disease, colon cancer and diabetes n Helps an individual remain independent According to the CDC, an older individual, without serious health conditions, and with a basic level of fitness, should engage in 150 minutes of moderate activity, such as brisk walking, weekly. For greater results increase the moderate activity to 300 minutes a week. It is also important to carry out muscle resistance activities with all major muscles on two more days a week. Individuals who are confident about their level of physical fitness may choose to engage in more intense fitness activities with approval from a physician.

Jake Westhoven, a personal trainer, who has an Associate of Applied Science Degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant, is the owner of Embody Wellness at 2245 Reynolds Road in Toledo where he works with many people 50 and older.

Posture, balance and coordination

Areas that Jake emphasizes with all seniors are posture, balance and coordination. He is concerned about improving poor posture because, according to the American Posture Institute, poor posture can lead to the upper body leaning forward which increases the risk of falls. Poor posture also may lead to back, shoulder and neck pain.

Helping seniors to improve balance is another important way to decrease the risk of falls. This is critical as falls are the number one cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older Americans.

Westhoven focuses on weight training for more mature individuals which improves strength and bone density. Strengthening muscles also helps greatly with performing routine activities.

Common Misperceptions

Jake has noticed with his clients that there are a few beliefs that get in the way of participating in weight training. One belief that women often have is that they will become too bulky and muscular. Not true! Another concern is that weight training can be very intimidating to the inexperienced. Jake works hard to ease people slowly into this activity, in part, to build confidence. He focuses on proper form first before becoming concerned with the amount of weight lifted or the number of repetitions.

As we get older, we become less flexible. According to the National Institutes of Health, flexibility is important as it allows you to have more easy movement for activities such as exercising, getting dressed and reaching objects.

To address flexibility for his clients Jake focuses on flexibility primarily in the hips, hamstrings and shoulders.

The main idea here is to get involved in exercise whether it be on your own or with a trainer. And, as we always need to consider, talk to your doctor about engaging in fitness activities if you have not done it for a while.

Bourbon Brined Pork Tenderloin with grilled Apples and Brussel Sprouts Brine Ingredients

Chef Erica Rapp and her mother, Vickie, have teamed up to create what many feel is the crown jewel in Toledo dining, with Registry Bistro

“Dress For Your Occasion” Registry Bistro excels at all-access elite dining

2 pork Tenderloin 1 onion, thinly sliced 6 smashed garlic cloves 2 bay Leaves 6 twigs thyme 10 black peppercorns 5 allspice berries 1 strip orange peel 2 cloves 3 T dark brown sugar 2 T black strap molasses 5 T kosher salt 1 cup water

Grilled Apple and Brussel Sprout Ingredients

1 tart apple (Honey Crisp, Granny Smith or favorite). Cut into 16 Pcs with skin on 1 yellow onion, cut in 1/4 with root left attached 2 heaping cups of brussel sprouts, cleaned and cut in half 1/4 cup melted butter Salt and pepper

Log on to mliving.com for full preparation details.

By Jeff Klima Chances are, you’ve already been to Registry Bistro. In the five years it’s been open (June 12 was their fiveyear anniversary), it’s become one of the hottest spots in the city for upscale dining. If you haven’t been to Registry Bistro, don’t feel like you need to dress to impress— the restaurant has positioned itself to be a dinner/drinks stop for all manner of activity in downtown Toledo, be it opera, baseball games or the occasional monster truck rally. As Chef/Co-owner Erika Rapp says, “I love having a mixed demographic. Dress for your occasion. We have people come in hockey jerseys, we have people come in who are going to prom. That mixture of people and style adds to the overall feel of the restaurant.” Basically, everyone is welcome to the experience.

On the ground floor of the historic Secor Building, a hub for art spaces, Registry Bistro’s setting is an un-

1/4 cup bourbon 2 cups ice

derstated atmosphere of modernity.

“When we came here, there was nothing. There was a lightbulb. All the windows were blocked up,” said Rapp, reminiscing. “We were like, ‘Oh my god, this is perfect!’ It was exactly what we wanted— we wanted the windows, we wanted the doors that open onto the street, we wanted that high ceiling to make you feel a little bit smaller. It has that hard and soft together. It gave us an opportunity to do something modern, but still have the rusticity that I like.”

An ever-changing menu Of course, the atmosphere won’t matter if the food game isn’t on point.

And Registry Bistro wins in the food department also, offering inventive selections including Pickled Gulf Shrimp with Tasso Ham and Braised Greens; Smoked Jackfruit with PanRoasted Lobster; and Forever Braised

Wild Boar Ragu with Hand Cut Pappardelle. “We change out the menu seasonally. Rapp explains. “I like playing with a lot of game and seafood.

Whatever is in season at the moment.”

And yet, Registry Bistro almost didn’t happen— at least, not the Registry Bistro we know and love. “My mom, (co-owner) Vickie, and I had been throwing around the idea of opening a restaurant,” said Rapp. “And at one point, we were going to open up a farm and have goats and make cheese.

It was a terrible idea. . . .I like hearty, soulful food that feels comforting in a way, but still current,” says Rapp.

Venue options This dining hub is more than a restaurant. “In addition to the restaurant itself, we also have private dining rooms and a ballroom. We cater largescale events— we just had a wedding here. That’s the other leg of our threelegged stool.” With a large, beauti-

The restaurant, above, ‘something modern with a rusticity.’

ful space that can be arranged to fit any event, the ballroom can host just about anything meaningful to you. “I love catering for people’s special occasions,” Rapp said. “It gives me an opportunity to become part of what they are doing.” Additionally, the ballroom has become home to the Toledo Jazz Orchestra’s Black and White Series, where guests can enjoy jazz combos along with their meal on select dates.

“This is an old hotel, and in a hotel, you’d actually go back and sign a registry,” Rapp says, explaining the restaurant’s name, as she gives a tour of the building that includes the River House Arts Gallery. It’s an interesting space, and on the upper floors of the building, many of the artists have mounted a piece of their art outside their studio door, giving you an idea of what is going on inside.

The future “Toledo’s definitely my home, my family’s here,” the chef, who was born here, explains of her decision to open up shop in T-Town. And though she doesn’t rule anything out (including opening up another restaurant) it sounds like she’s staying put with Registry Bistro and Toledo for the long haul. “I’m happy with the life I’ve got and what I’m doing here. It’s exceeded my expectations and there’s still more for me to do.”

Man Cabin The Perfect Getaway

Every home we spotlight has a personality based on the owner’s lifestyle and decorating preferences. This month we visit an eclectic house in Perrysburg, built in the 80’s that features a Man Cabin that could be the inspiration for a David Lloyd Glover painting.

Tim and Sally Goligoski’s house has many interesting elements featuring a colorful kitchen with a vintage Texaco margarita dispenser and decorative period signage, tastefully decorated den and living room areas and a charming sun porch leading to the yard.

Tim, Sally & Cleo Goligoski

The outdoors is a mass of fabulous plantings, unique art and an eye-catching sculpture, purchased at a concrete show/event held years ago.

But the real standout is Tim’s man cabin built over the garage. He designed and built the area as his personal space and uses it daily as an office and getaway. While most men want a cave, Tim likes the openness and light that the cabin offers.
