Hormone Therapy rebalances the hormones in your body to combat these symptoms and reverse the symptoms of aging. Luxe offers hormone therapy via bio-identical pellets or via liquid injections, as well as related services for sexual wellness, better sleep, and better mood.

Horticulturist John Naka once said of the art of bonsai, “The object is not to make the tree look like a bonsai, but to make the bonsai look like a tree.” A deeply relaxing art, bonsai is also an intricate hobby.

Cover Story

Elaine Canning

Feminism is freedom. What works for a woman at one stage of her life might be different at another stage. We have to thank Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem, considered pioneers in the movement. Because of them many of us did not have to carry the extremist banner, but all women have benefitted from their largesse.

The Many Faces of Feminism Where does the movement go now?

By Pat Nowak

Kathy Carroll

Olivia Summons

In the 70’s we wanted to have it all, and then we had to do it all to have it all. Now women of a certain age are tired, but the struggle for equality still continues.

The mantle must be taken up by younger women who want to insure that their rights and opportunities continue to thrive.

Women today do it all. In the home and on the job; we mother and we are professionals.

Feminism is the support system that all women need to succeed.

Laura Williams (age 29)

I have traveled around the world for the last two years.

I now realize how far the United States has come in the treatment of women’s issues. But I see how far we have to go in the rest of the world - the need is IMMENSE!

T

he term feminism describes a movement (economic, cultural. educational or political) to promote equal rights and protection for women. The first feminist activity was in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, followed by a second rise in activity in the 1960s and 1970s. The third wave, which began in the 1990’s, continues now in the present.

History

Feminists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries launched the women’s suffrage movement and right to vote. In the 60’s feminists campaigned for legal and social rights for women, while the third wave is largely concerned with other issues of equality, such as ending discrimination.

Karen Lucas

Feminism stands for change and opportunity. Why should women be treated as second class citizens when women are every bit as professional and gifted.

Any path a woman chooses to pursue should have as few obstacles as possible for success.

The majority of activity in these feminist movements have been led by middleclass white women from Western Europe and North America. This middle-class trend accelerated in the 1960’s but did not gain widespread momentum until the 1970’s. There were some notable woman who spoke out on the issues, such as Katherine Hepburn in the 1942 film, Women of the Year.

Betty Friedan, considered a pioneer of feminism due to her 1963 book The Feminine Mystique, criticized the idea that women could only find fulfillment through childrearing and homemaking. According to Friedan’s New York Times obituary, The Feminine Mystique “ignited the contemporary women’s movement in 1963 and as a result permanently transformed the social fabric of the United States and countries around the world” and “is widely regarded as one of the most influential nonfiction books of the 20th century.”

The Women’s Liberation movement, born in 1964, was a dominant topic in newsprint commentary at the time. A much touted activity associated with the movement was the act of bra-burning, the number of instances of that actually happening remains in question.

Rae Glover (age 16)

As a member of a dance team that competes on a state level, I am continuously made aware that we are not considered athletes and our team achievements are not as notable as that of soccer player or a football team; therefore not relevant for sports news.

While this is might be a small issue -how can that inequality happen today? It shouldn’t.

Feminists can be 16 or 66 - we must believe that we are relevant and can make a difference to see the change we want.

Laura Glover (age - 40’s)

As a daughter of a strong woman (the editor or MLiving News) who encouraged my dreams, I have seen how the feminist movement has helped my generation realize monetary gains and parity in the workplace, addressed rights issues and continues to monitor inequality. I feel that women must work harmoniously and become aware of what issues still need to be addressed around the world.

While gains in this country are notable, many in the world still suffer.

Cont’d from p7

Marlene Lachine LouAnn Brettel

The sky’s the limit and potential is limitless. We need young women who are passionate and will take charge of their life while leading the next phase of the feminist movement.

Marianne Ballas

My grandmother never drove an automobile. Today, only two generations removed, I own an automobile dealership. All of this happened because women had the courage and the determination to equalize a woman’s rights economically and socially with that of men. Our obligation is to not let those courageous women down, because had it not been for them, none of my opportunities would have been possible. As modern feminists we can never stop striving to be better and to help mentor young women.

The 90’s until today

From 1990 until today feminism continues with the political, economic and cultural issues at the forefront of the movement. Feminists today want to deemphasize the influence of middle-class white women as defining femininity culture.

Feminism has altered perspectives, as activists today campaign for women’s educational and legal rights, a woman’s rights to her body – including access to abortion and family planning, protection of women and girls from domestic violence, sexual harassment and rape; workplace rights, including maternity leave and equal pay and against other forms of gender-specific discrimination against women.

Gloria Steinem, a native Toledoan, founder of Ms. magazine and prominent national leader in the 1960’s and ‘70’s movement, came to Toledo in November 2015 to speak in support of her book My Life on the Road. Steinem commands a grasp of the challenges facing women today, as she described how the movement has changed since the 60’s and the need for continuous education and awareness to intelligently combat the inequalities women face.

Feminist issues that were huge in the 60’s and 70’s such as universities only admitting a certain number of women, the freedom of wearing pants to work, having to quit a job because of a pregnancy, males with less experience demanding equal pay based on antiquated norms and stereotypes, are no longer concerns, or concerns have been lessened, today.

Today the call for feminism tackles world issues such as poverty and disparity in educational opportunities, social concerns like domestic abuse, trafficking and harassment, women’s treatment in the workplace, LGBT struggles and taking a stand against slut shaming, all newer developments in the movement. Defending reproductive rights, combatting pay gaps and becoming more inclusive also continue to be concerns. A major dialogue continues regarding how to overcome the practice and perception of these issues as being dominated by white women and how to crusade against these obstacles that continue for all women in the world today.

Keiran Menacher

I went to a progressive all girl Catholic high school and we were taught to explore and do different things. My advice to all younger women - do not feel that you are limited and with ambition do your best to compete in today’s world.

What Now

Some say we now are in the post-feminism stage, an ambivalent reaction to feminism, claiming that equality has been achieved and it is now time to turn the focus to other issues. Clearly some younger women who have grown up without the disparity in treatment are uncertain as to the need for feminism and see the movement as antiquated or unrealistic. Others, instead of staunch rejection, are mindful of the movement’s history and focus on greater unity in defending women’s rights.

Feminism means working together for the betterment of woman – culturally, educationally, economically, and politically. Over the generations the movement has advanced. Perhaps not to the point of equality for women, but trending in that direction. MLiving asked several local women their thoughts about feminism.

Cynthia Beekley

My mother was a feminist because my father was a chauvinist. She supported me, which made a difference.

Every woman of every age should embrace the feminist movement and stand up to make their own decisions.

How dare you allow someone else to make a decision for you? A woman must possess the knowledge and investigate, rather than assume or be grateful for a “small pay raise” or a “pittance promotion” when others with less experience receive more.

Statement sleeves – for summer we saw the shoulders and this fall, not so much.

BIG BELTS

The advent of fall comes with the question – what will I be wearing this fall and winter? This year’s fashion trends are a hodge-podge of diversity in silhouette and style— romanticism and structure with a little far out galaxy for those who dare to be different.

Political statement tees All over silver is back – often looking like Mylar.

Corduroy – it comes back every couple of years because most women love the look.

Multicultural looks from countryside traditions.

Accessories:

Bags will feature statement straps.

Micro bags and oversized bags along with day clutches.

Accessories should include berets,

Power Suits – often double breasted (love the look, not all can wear it).

Shearling – who doesn’t love outerwear made with this plush wool.

Puffers – continue their dominance, now in a variety of rainbow colors.

wide belts, oversized earrings,

oblong sunglasses and for a dramatic flair think feathers to dress up your look.

Shoes will feature statement heels, be clear plastic or traditional Mary Janes and loafers.

Boots will be slouchy or floral.

MINI BAGS

Track pants for day or night.

Plaids and check on all clothing most notably on coats.

The color red is the defining hue for 2017.

PLASTIC HEELS

Fashion is touting a throwback to the 80’s but 2017 seems to offer so many more options that are available to today’s woman. No longer are you beholden to just one style. You can make a fashionable statement with so many choices – how great is that!

Finance Frugal Food

Strategies for Financing Our Eating

By Chris Watson We like food. As we get older we like it alot. It isn’t because our tastes change, it is because our available time does. Gone are the days of grab and drive meals, wolfed down like a high school lunch between classes. We now have the time and energy to enjoy our meals. That enjoyment, however, comes with expense.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS.gov), for the average American over 55, between 12 and 13 percent of their household expenses are spent on food. Only housing and transportation rank as higher percentages of the monthly budget. Not even health care comes close to equaling this household expense. Clearly food is not only a priority in our lives, but it plays a significant role in our health and quality of life.

As food concerns have become more pervasive in our culture, so has the cost.

There are a slew of options which can contribute to consequences for both health and economics. Here are three strategies to eat well on a limited income to stretch that budget.

The Bulk Store Bulk makes sense with a bigger family. However, the number in the household diminish, many part ways with the Costco, Sam’s, Aldi’s and Gordon’s to return to buying in quantities that seem more practical. But that may have been too hasty. Some purchases in bulk make good sense, if managed properly, more a matter of storage and planning rather than consumption Planning is a perfect way to capitalize on bulk stores. Dry goods are great examples. By spending some time organizing a cupboard or pantry area, or even investing in some storage containers, initial efforts can yield big results.

Even though some bulk stores have a membership cost, that can often be recouped rather quickly. Most of these stores offer discounts on gas, over the counter pharmacy items, pet food and supplies (like kitty litter), even discounts on travel, windows, appliances, electronics, and car purchases. There may be some work interpreting these benefits,

but in the long run, if fully utilized, they can provide great savings.

The Freezer Use the regular freezer for something other than half filled water bottles and ice cream. Meats, in particular, can be easily frozen and several stores, both big boxes and smaller meat markets, package meats to allow efficient use of freezer space.

The key to the freezer is to use what you put in it. Freezers have a definite “out of sight out of mind” tendency that can cause food wasting rather than budget saving. A simple list noting the contents of the freezer can solve this problem. To avoid another potential freezer problem, invest in a vacuum sealer to prevent the quality degradation and also to save on freezer space. Finally, use a marker to date your purchases, right on the package.

Dare to Share Finally, don’t shy away from friends and neighbors. Stretch your food budget together. Farmers markets are inexpensive but often provide daunting quantities. Share! Go together with a friend and divide the market’s offerings.

The same is true for bulk stores. That is a great price on those six colored peppers, but almost impossible for a smaller household to use.

Don’t stop at shopping. Find two or three buddies and start a soup exchange.

Don’t give up on making bean soup or chili because the recipe makes too much. Exchange a portion with the person down the street who has given up making their favorite soup for the same reason. Both households get two soups for the price of making one. Add other dishes to the mix. Exchange lasagna for chicken paprikash or beef stroganoff for ham and scalloped potatoes.

At holiday baking time trade around favorite cookies and treats (including ingredients like nuts).

Food is central to life. But, food should be both affordable and fun, and by following a few simple strategies, it can be.

Looking Back Oct. 29, 1960 Air Tragedy In Toledo

The flight that should never have happened…

By Tom Cole It is remarkable how events can change people’s lives. We all take air travel for granted as it is, by far, the safest way to go long distances. When an airline crash occurs it is etched into our minds and seldom forgotten.

Last March, the University of Michigan basketball team had a major scare after a very difficult attempt at a takeoff and their plane crashed through a runway fence. Fortunately, everyone on the Michigan plane was unhurt; but their lives were all altered because of that event On Nov 14th 1970 the Marshall Football Team had a tragic air crash as the plane they were in collided with the side of a mountain. This incident, documented in a number of books and a remarkable movie, changed the lives of families forever.

On Oct 29th 1960 at 11 PM the California Polytechnical Institute football team was getting ready to fly home from Toledo Express Airport after a 50-6 loss to Bowling Green State University. BG at the time was a highly ranked college football team, coached by Doyt Perry, and the Cal Poly team got to the airport exhausted. It was such a foggy night that as

1960 Cal Poly football team

This 1960 air tragedy at the Toledo Airport should never have happened. The plane should never have taken off with almost zero visibility. the team headed out to the tarmac to the C-46 Propliner N1244N, they literally could not see the plane, a veteran aircraft from WWII, that flew for Arctic Pacific.

Commercial plane traffic was grounded at the Toledo Airport due to the fog, but since the Cal Poly flight was a charter the pilot could make the decision whether the plane will take-off, not the airport traffic

control tower. The last conversation heard outside the plane was with the pilot and Cal Poly Head football coach Roy Hughes, discussing the weather,and whether they should attempt the takeoff. The last words from Hughes were ‘’let’s give it the old college try.” The old World War ll plane rumbled down the runway on this ominous night with forty-four souls aboard. It got about one hundred feet off of the ground when the left engine cut out. The plane quickly dipped and crashed onto the runway.

On impact the plane was severed into two sections and all the people in the front of the plane were tragically killed, while those in the back section lived. Because of this horrible crash aviation regulatory procedures changed and pilots no longer make the take-off decision. Now, the airport traffic control tower has full authority to determine whether a plane takes off, regardless if it is a commercial flight or a charter.

This 1960 air tragedy at the Toledo Airport should never have happened. The plane should never have taken off with almost zero visibility.

John Madden, pro football hall of fame coach, was a Cal Poly assistant coach at the time, but he was not on the flight as he stayed home and coached a nearby junior college football team. A great friend to many on that Cal Poly team, Madden famously took busses to stadiums during his football coaching and broadcasting career due to that fateful crash.

Ted Tollner was the quarterback of the Cal Poly team and right before the ill- fated take off was asked by his wide receiver Curtis Hill to change seats. Curtis thought he would be less nauseous if he sat up front; Tollner did . Curtis was killed and Tollner lived.

So many lives were changed that fateful night in 1960 in Toledo -a flight that never should have happened.

Health Mona Lisa Laser Treatment New help for postmenopausal women Every woman goes through menopause, but that doesn’t mean they need to suffer in silence. When estrogen levels decline due to menopause, women experience changes in their gynecologic health including things such as intimacy concerns, dryness, urinary incontinence and vaginal atrophy. Studies show that only 25% of women seek help from their doctor, believing it’s simply part of the aging process.

Dr. David Jackson, an OB GYN at Associates in Women’s Health in Sylvania knows how common of an issue this is for women. “I hear about this all the time from menopausal women breast cancer survivors who are patients of mine.

Vaginal atrophy, which is also called atrophic vaginitis, occurs because of a decrease in estrogen, and symptoms include thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls. According to the National Institutes of Health, there are almost 46 million postmenopausal women between the ages of 50 and 80, and there are more than 2.8 million survivors of breast cancer.

“I was looking for a solution for my patients that didn’t require hormones or messy creams and that was safe, efficacious and non-invasive. We found out about Mona Lisa Touch, a fractional CO2 laser treatment that revitalizes the cells in the vaginal mucosa (vaginal tissue) so that they make more collagen, an essential ingredient in vaginal cell health and can give women relief from the symptoms they suffer from every day. Patients undergo a series of three treatments spaced six weeks apart, and each treatment time is less than five minutes and is performed right in the physician’s office.

September 2017

“Because no anesthesia is required and it’s done in our office, there is no downtime and virtually no pain or side effects, Dr. Jackson explained.

“Patients notice improvement even after the first treatment”. Mona Lisa Touch is FDA approved and has been on the market since 2012.

Dr. Jackson is hosting an informational seminar about the Mona Lisa Touch on September 7th at 6:00pm at Associates in Women’s Health located at 5300 Harroun Rd #201, Sylvania, OH 43560. Refreshments and light appetizers will be provided. To RSVP please call (419) 843-4836.

Manos Greek Restaurant

A destination with cultural vibrancy

By Athena Cocoves In January of 1980, then 26 years old, Manos Paschalis came from Greece to the United States to study business at the University of Toledo.

He got a job waiting tables at Athens Village, a now-closed restaurant on Erie Street, working his way up to be the floor manager. With that experience, he decided to open Manos Greek Restaurant in 1981.

“I love meeting people, talking to them and exchanging ideas. Greek culture is one of hospitality,” he explains. “In Greece, eating isn’t about nutrition and sustaining yourself. For us, it’s a process. We take our time, we socialize, and we love to go out. It’s in our culture. The restaurant business came naturally (to me).”

After 36 years of owning a restaurant, he admits, “the restaurant industry is tough, but if you love it, you survive it. Consistency is important and we treat our customers as friends and family.”

Bringing Greece alive

To bring his home to Toledo, Manos and his wife, Judy, have cultivated a Greek ethos. Painted vines and murals of the Greek island of Samos adorn brick walls in the dining area.

Outside, a large patio comes alive with flowers and plantings. The familyfriendly environment is comfortable for all ages. A romantic, taverna-style interior where friends laugh over Greek wine, sharing plates of feta and olives, also affords diners a place to savor deep, rich flavors of stewed lamb and other Greek specialties. There are patrons and employees who have been regulars at the restaurant for 25 years.

“Basic, classic Greek dishes, like pastisio, lamb shank, gyros and spanakopita, have been on the menu since the beginning and we use the same recipes,” says Paschalis.

But Manos isn’t tied to tradition.

“Some of our regulars have asked for

specific combinations, so we’ve put their favorites on the menu and named it after them.”

Connecting with his community

Cuisine is only one ingredient in the success of his restaurant. Paschalis considers community to be equally important. Above the dining room, The Attic on Adams, a popular UPtown bar, managed by general manager, Amelia Jarrett, allows customers to order from the restaurant menu during serving hours. The Attic offers pub food after the restaurant kitchen closes.

A few blocks away, Paschalis maintains a community garden he started five years ago that supplies fresh produce for the restaurant, allows students to learn about gardening and gives space for locals to grow their own fruits, vegetables and herbs.

Down Adams Street, a mural, painted on the side of another building (at 13th and Adams) owned by Paschalis, is known as The Love Wall. Boasting “Toledo Loves Love” the wall conveys the sentiment that first brought Paschalis here in 1980: opportunity, diversity, cultural vibrancy and the value of equality that has helped him succeed.

“It’s important to be involved in the community because, at the end of the day, this community is where I live, spend time, spend money. It’s where my friends, my family live. We have to be involved so we can solve problems before they become problems.”

Saganaki

(Flaming Greek Cheese)

Sizzling Kassari cheese, often served flaming with a loud “Opa!”, is not as difficult as it appears.

Forewarning: this recipe, like many Greek dishes, relies on the same rule of measurement used by my Greek grandmother. As Yia-Yia would say, “Eye it out. If it looks right, it probably is. If it tastes right, who’s to argue?”

A metal plate Kasseri Cheese (sliced about ½ inch thick) One egg 1-4 tablespoons of olive oil (you’ll know) One lemon About ¼ cup of flour Optional: a cast iron pan or a hot plate One shot of brandy or vodka (for the pan) Optional: One shot of brandy of vodka (for you) 1. Beat egg.

2. Dip the sliced cheese in the beaten egg. Follow with a dust of flour on both sides.

3. Heat oil in the pan. As soon as the oil is hot, add the cheese and fry for a few minutes on each side. Flip carefully with a spatula.

If you’re using a metal plate: Squeeze lemon on top and serve with bread or pita.

If you’re using a hot plate or cast iron pan: Pour a shot of your brandy or vodka on top. Carefully use a long match to create a flame with the vapors. Yell “Opa!”* Wait until the fire dies down, squeeze lemon on top and serve with bread or pita.

* Manos says that yelling “Opa!” is not necessary, but surely adds to the fun. We agree.
