Stormwater Capture Devices, Farms Failing at Runoff Reduction & “AquaHacking” Lake Erie  The Cleveland Water Alliance announced plans to gather political leaders from around Ohio and Michigan to “hack” a solution to Lake Erie’s dwindling water quality during “AquaHacking 2017: United for Lake Erie,” a veritable quarter-long brainstorm session that will award teams up to $100,000 each for sustainability breakthroughs that improve the lake’s water quality.  An ongoing study conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service, USDA-ARS, found that only one out of three farms studied complied with nutrient runoff standards. This means that over 60% of the 21 farms in the study sample still need to scale back phosphorus runoff.  After trawling Lake Erie’s western basin for walleye and yellow perch, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Wildlife determined that this year’s fish hatchling numbers will probably preserve the fishery’s sustainability.  U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown awarded the University of Toledo a $59,988 federal grant to engineer “stormwater capture devices that could help improve local water quality,” the Blade reported. Senator Brown said that the grant “will ensure that more neighborhoods in Toledo communities are able to utilize green infrastructure to lower water bills, protect Lake Erie, and keep their drinking water clean.”  Ohio EPA is hosting a public hearing on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2016, to discuss the Napoleon water treatment plant’s wastewater discharge permit. According the the Ohio EPA, “The city would install a new water treatment system which would result in the discharge of dissolved solids such as salts and other minerals… The water treatment plant discharges to the Maumee River, which flows into Lake Erie.” The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at Napoleon City Council Chambers (255 W. Riverview Ave.) This week’s Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie meeting features guest-speakers Frank Szollosi of the National Wildlife Federation and Sean Nestor, who’s launching a petition to amend the Toledo City Charter to include the “Lake Erie Bill of Rights.” The advocacy group hosts meetings every third Wednesday from 6:30-8:00pm at Grace Lutheran Church (4441 Monroe St). Stop by the gathering and pick up a yard sign.

Revitalization of the Fiberglas Tower

Hearts and clothes for humanity

Join Honorary Mayor John Mellencamp and founder Ken Leslie as they team up once again to tackle homelessness in Toledo via Tent City. Celebrating 26 years of tireless work clothing and feeding families in Toledo that have fallen on hard times, the Tent City event is also looking to raise $15,000 to help secure birth certificates and other legal documents for those affected. The person with the largest pledged donation will be Mellencamp’s special guest at his Stranahan Theatre concert that night, Friday, October 21.

For 20 years, the 30 floors of the 400-foottall Fiberglas Tower on N. St. Clair Street in downtown Toledo sat empty. Like many of its neighboring buildings, it stood as a monument to what our city used to be. But in the midst of revitalization, the Fiberglas Tower now stands as a tall landmark for downtown’s upswing. The Eyde Co. of Lansing, owner of the building since 1998, announced plans on Friday, October 7 to renovate the building’s top 11 floors for apartment units. Phase 1 of the project, with an estimated cost of $30 million, will create nearly 120 construction jobs. —AC

Fall Field Trips

Great ways to craft your own autumn adventure Alison Wood-Osmun

Blue Autumn

Hike and bike all four corners of our great state of Ohio this fall on the Buckeye Trail. Comprised of a series of linked trails weaving their way through forty Ohio counties and marked by bright blue markers called blazes, the trails offer adventure on county and township roads, through picturesque towns, and cities alive with culture. The path invigorates alongside sparkling rivers, lakes and streams, with the beauty of wide open rural vistas and the peaceful solitude of woodlands. Check out buckeyetrail. org to view section maps, to take guided tours ((BT Circuit Hikes) or to blaze your own trail.

Quick color fix

Something about autumn beckons us to the open road. Ohio has 26 Scenic Byways. According to Tom Barrett, Scenic Byways Coordinator with the Ohio Department of Transportation, “Ohio’s collection of state and federallydesignated byways offers a variety of unique experiences including history, scenic beauty, outdoor recreation and different regional cultures.” Visit the website at ohiobyways.com to plan your autumn road trip. Use one of the newest features, story maps, which highlights the not-to-miss gems.

Get a quick fix of seasonal splendor with these short drives in the Toledo metro area: Talmadge Rd. between W. Central Ave. and Bancroft— layers of tree branches drape over the roadway creating a sunlit corridor of orange, yellow and red foliage. Richards Rd. between Bancroft and Hill Ave.— rural-like open rolling fields meld into colorful tree-lined neighborhoods. Sidecut Metropark’s driving trail along W. River Rd.

Seasonal Election Disorder, or SED, is a type of distress that’s related to election season. SED begins and ends when the political circus starts. If you’re like most people with SED, you might feel anxiety, a sense of ennui, depression, confusion, existential dread, or worse— fever dreams about moving to Canada. But SED is related to the issues, and those suffering from SED can overcome the seasonal disorder by becoming informed. We know you have issues. So do we. Learn about local problems, and the candidates hoping to fix them, in our annual City Politics Guide. We can’t promise a remedy for your SED— we aren’t even going to touch Trump or Hil in this—but we hope to provide relief.

Get your vote on Doing that democracy thing By Johnny Hildo

It’s the most important election of our lifetime. That’s the mantra. They say it every four years. It seems the importance accelerates, and every election is increasingly the most important election of our lifetime. At this rate, the importance level will make the next election so urgent you’ll have to vote a year early. Once again, we’re told this year is the be-all end-all Mother of All Elections election. The fate of the nation, the future of democracy, the course of civilization hangs in its balance. Whatever. Hyperbole aside, there are some other monikers that are probably closer to the truth. The most outrageous, maddening, angst-unleashing election of our lifetime. The fix is in! It’s an international conspiracy! Bring out the torches and pitchforks! Again we say, whatever.

It’s all about the meme

Here’s the rub. The meme-filled, social media driven madness has led to an unprecedented level of mind-numbed resignation. Folks are turned off by the specter of the anti-establishment hero who brags in private about groping unsuspecting women, and the establishment candidate who seems a bit too establishment. The alt third-party candidates either have never heard of a major international battleground called Aleppo or don’t believe in vaccinations.

Will this lead to voter turnout being even worse than the normally miserable? Here’s the facts, Jack. To quote the old ball coach, every election is the most important. The most important vote is the one right in front of you. Because democracy is fragile and messy. It only works if folks participate. The top of the ticket vote may have you down, but buck up, make a choice, and do that democracy thing. Stop lamenting the lack of a perfect candidate and vote for your best option.

Election complexion

And don’t forget that choices go all the way down the ballot. There are local races and issues that make a real difference in your neighbors’ lives. Levies for the zoo, library, and children’s services. A tax renewal for police and fire in the city. Election of state representatives and judges and county officials. Think your vote doesn’t make a difference? These local races are often decided by a thousand votes or less. The county only has a couple hundred voting precincts. That means that local races may be decided by a vote or two per precinct. That deciding vote in your precinct could be yours. We know it has been a long, disheartening election season. But for democracy to flourish, it needs you. Keep calm and get your voting shoes on.

We Got Issues A brief review of local ballot issues



Issue 2: Renewal of the City of Toledo’s 3/4% income tax. This is a

straight renewal of the current three-quarter per cent “temporary” portion of Toledo’s income tax, which means voters must renew it or it lapses. The other one-and-one-half per cent Toledo income tax is permanent and is not voted on. That means that voters decide whether to keep one-third of the income tax every three years. Most of this tax pays for safety services like police and fire, plus capital improvement projects like major road reconstruction. According to city officials, loss of one-third of this revenue would decimate these services. The renewal includes the ability to transfer capital improvement money to help balance the general fund. City officials argue that without that ability, major cuts to safety forces would result. http://www.keeptoledosafe.com/

Issue 18: TARTA renewal. This is also a straight renewal of 1.5 mills

property tax levy for the operation of mass transit buses in the Toledo area.

Issue 19: a renewal of the .7 mills levy for the operation of the countywide 911 emergency call service.

Issue 20: Lucas County Children’s Services. This is a request for a

renewal of the current 1.4 mills levy and an increase of an additional .4 mills, or a total of 1.8 mills. LCCS argues that the increase is needed due to the heroin and opiate epidemic in Lucas County, plus increases in cases stemming from mental health needs and domestic violance. http://www. lucas4kids.com/

Issue 21: Imagination Station. A renewal of the small, .17 mills

needed to continue operations of Toledo’s science museum. https:// imaginationstationtoledo.org/show-your-support

Issue 22: Toledo-Lucas County Library. This is renewal of the 2.9 mills

levy that expires in December of 2017 plus an increase of .8 mills for a total of 3.7 mills. Library officials say the levy is vital to maintain current operations and extend hours at some branches.

Issue 23: Toledo Zoo. This is a levy renewal, but with a twist. The zoo

has been so successful at financial stewardship and building memberships and attendance that the zoo is actually requesting a, wait for it, DECREASE in millage from .85 mills to .75 mills. The zoo has substantially decreased its reliance on levy funding and is passing along its savings to property owners. https://www.toledozoo.org/voteforyourzoo/index.html

“Who’s Who” of “Who’s That?”

County Commissioner is that it listened to and respected the ideas of all who attended the multiple planning sessions open to the general public. Sometimes you don’t have to create your own wheel, just assist with the wheel that is already in place.

Michael P. Bell R Age: 61 Education: Bachelors’ of Education Experience: Fire Chief of the City of Toledo (16 years); Fire Marshal for the State of Ohio (2 years); Mayor of the City of Toledo (4 years) Times (previously) run for office: 3 Times you have successfully run for office: 1 What is your biggest concern for Toledo and how do you plan to address it? My biggest

concern is the inability of Toledo Government to maintain a stable budget. The key to any type of stability, within the City of Toledo, is a budget to provide basic services (Police protection, Fire and Emergency care, good drinking water, in addition to a strong infrastructure replacement plan) to be successful and competitive in the region. Without the ability to do this, it destabilizes not only the City of Toledo but potentially the whole region of Lucas County. It is important that the County Commissioners take an active roll as a strong partner to the City of Toledo to leverage the region for economic success. I will develop partnerships countywide to create economic success for all.

How can you ensure that downtown Toledo’s continued development enhances, without interrupting, Toledo’s unique character? By be-

coming and being a good and strong partner to the “22nd Century Plan”, currently being developed by the community and led by the business leadership of the region. The final phases of this plan were just completed in late August. The plan takes into consideration all of the points mentioned in your question while providing tested solutions. What will make this plan successful

Evaluate neighborhood support services. What efforts have, or have not, been successful? Why is community infrastructure important to you? The intent of the services provided

is good; a goal of trying to help the areas within our community that are in need of the greatest assistance. But the problem is money flow. The real issue, is that there are a growing number of problems within our neighborhoods with fewer dollars to deal with the issues. Poverty levels in Lucas County have climbed from somewhere around 13% a little over 10 years ago to over 20% now. So the issue is, where do we find new income for people? How do we put people back to work? It is so important that we address the issues of jobs and stabilizing our economy in the greater Toledo and Lucas County region.

What more can, and should, we do to protect Lake Erie? What changes should be made immediately? I think now, that this issue

is currently on everyone’s radar screen that a portion of the battle has been won. Acknowledging that we do have a problem is huge. The question of what we do immediately is not that simple. I believe what can be done is being done now, otherwise, why are the people who are charged with this mission still in position? What a Commissioner can do is keep this in the forefront of priorities in the County and refuse to let it disappear.

By Johnny Hildo

There are lots of elections on this year’s ballot, most of which feature a powerful incumbent against, well, no one. Incumbents like County Treasurer Wade Kapszukiewicz and Commissioner Tina Wozniak have no opponent. That means as long as they remember to vote for themselves, they win. Heavyweight slug fests like incumbent Commissioner Pete Gerken against former Toledo Mayor Mike Bell are the exception. Races like Sheriff John Tharp against nobody are much more common. Just above the nobodies are the “Who was that agains?” State Rep. Teresa Fedor faces James Nowak, but the latter denizen of Point Place has run for Toledo City Council and state rep before. Marcy’s opponent, Donald Larson, is a Navy vet and business owner from Lakewood. We wouldn’t blame you if you’d never heard of him, given that he’s from Cuyahoga County, but you should realize that the gerrymandering of Marcy’s district means there are more voters from that county in her district than in Lucas. And Larson at least has a slick website to tell you who he is, friendsofdonaldlarson.com. We’re talking about the real whozats?, the candidates so deep in the weeds they can barely be seen from the road. Take Allison Seney, who opposes Phil Copeland for Lucas County Recorder, for example. We can’t find her on the web or on facebook. We found a mylife profile that could be her, so here’s what we might know. The Allison Seney we found is from Sylvania, has an Associate’s degree from Ohio University, and works at the Lucas County Board of Elections. Sounds plausible, but we still must ask. That you, Allison? Bernie Quilter has an opponent for Clerk of Courts, one Nickolas Berente. We are pretty sure we found this guy on facebook, facebook.com/Dart2727/about, as well as a very revealing twitter @domination2727. This Nick is from Liberty Center but now resides in Toledo. He’s a ward chairman for the Lucas County Republican Party, which means he’s a friend of party Chairman Jon Stainbrook. Makes sense. It seems he worked for Childers Limousine for a few months earlier this year, after working security at the Hollywood Casino. He currently owns a data recovery business and works in “customer service” at Circle K. Sounds like a clerk to us. Berente’s credentials for being Clerk of Courts are pretty slim. We think we were better off before we found him. And perhaps Quilter, Ashford and Copeland are unopposed after all.

What is your biggest concern for Toledo and how do you plan to address it? Keeping the growth of excitement, investment, and jobs moving ahead. Advancing our strategy public/ private partnerships, increasing our workforce development policies and making our water a safe ,clean and affordable resource

www.toledocitypaper.com

How can you ensure that downtown Toledo’s continued development enhances, without interrupting, Toledo’s unique character? We need to advance the housing opportunities by reinvesting in valuable, but slightly worn, building stock.

Evaluate neighborhood support services. What efforts have, or have not, been successful? Why is community infrastructure important to you? Neighborhood investment and partner-

ship is essential. The Land bank and LISC are the right partners. The decline of stronger neighborhood organization bothers me Why is community infrastructure important to you? It is the prime tool to reinvestment Resources that come just from the outside will fail without community partners

What more can, and should, we do to protect Lake Erie? What changes should be made immediately? Declare western basin of Lake Erie impaired and get some enforcements around the policies.

GOT ISSUES

We need to have seamless services that enhance quality of life for all neighborhoods. Bringing together community leaders to work toward the common goal of supporting our most vulnerable is a key element. In my work on the Ohio House education committee, we hope to have more opportunities to advocate for wraparound services for our children.

The neighborhoods are where the majority of people live. Many of us work in those neighborhoods. My district includes the Point Place/Alexis area of Toledo. In Point Place… it is important to make sure that the river is clean and the Ottawa River is available for recreational boating. Point Place succeeds not only because of its citizens but of its many boating and yacht clubs located in the community. Many of those clubs along the Ottawa River have difficulties because of the need to dredge the Ottawa River from its mouth to the I75 bridge. This needs to be accomplished. It has been talked about for far too long with far too many excuses.

Lake Erie is at risk because of poor regulation of fertilization and industry practices. I see it as necessary to improve our current standards. Recent legislations such as House Bill 61, which prohibits the application of manure in the Western Lake Erie basin on frozen ground and saturated soil, indicate that we are taking steps to meet better environmental standards; however, it is imperative that we take more serious measures to lessen human-caused impact on our water resources.

Farmers have endured long enough along the Lake Erie basin being condemned for all the algae blooms. I fish every other week next to the intake in Jerusalem Township and everything looks better than it has in years. It’s no longer broken, stop fixing it.

What more can, and should, we do to protect Lake Erie? What changes should be made immediately?

It is hard to pin down a single issue because there are so many important challenges that our people face every day. For example, the restoration of local government funds is immensely important because it has implications on our ability to hire police and firemen, and it determines how much we can spend on much-needed infrastructure repairs.

When you go to a hockey game or a Mud Hens game it breaks my heart to see all these empty buildings that I remember as a kid completely full and all the people that used to come downtown. We have to be known as a town that will do what it takes to bring in and court new businesses and not as a ‘union town’. Tell a business that they have to pay $15 an hour to anyone they hire and they will not even think about coming here. That’s not anti-union, its common sense. Businesses startups cannot afford to pay “Jeep Salaries”.

What single issue facing our area are you most passionate about and why?

This is a true public health crisis.Through education, advocacy and providing resources to help adults and children, we can draw the connections between opiate addiction, human trafficking and other key concerns for our neighborhoods. I support efforts to access more federal assistance, particularly in terms of treatment opportunities.

The immediate priority is to declare the Maumee watershed a distressed watershed. Additionally we must bring together scientists and the agriculture community region to examine best practices. States that do not participate in the regional efforts to address water quality (Indiana, for example does not participate in some of the regional goals), should be encouraged to join Ohio’s efforts.

We need to eliminate open lake dumping of dredged materials. This is a single step that can be used to take the dredged materials and off load them on land, allow for them to dry out and ship the dredged materials back up stream to be used as fertilizer. This is something that can be done immediately. Long term we need to continue to work with our cities, farmers and lakefront property owners to assure that sewage and other particulates don't drain into the lake. We need to understand that our sewer system is in close proximity to our water treatment. Dumping things into the lake only means it’s Campaign theme song: THEME SONG FROM coming right back into our drinking water. 'ROCKY'-"GONNA FLY NOW" I would support State legislation which would continue to create alternatives to jail and prison for people addicted to various drugs. All too often, people who are addicted end up in jail when a drug alternative/drug court would be the best way to treat them. These uses are far less expensive than jail/prison alternatives we presently use. Treatment and education are the best alternatives to the use of drugs. Fortunately for me, when I was a young man I listened to my teachers in school and stayed away from any potential drug use.

Human trafficking is the nexus of issues of poverty and education. I am passionate about the fight against human trafficking because of my determination to protect children, and because it is the civil rights issue of our time, but also because it is a key to fighting poverty.

Jobs. Our area is aging; the State is aging. We need to have jobs so that our young, educated professional and others, have a reason to stay in this community. Without that, our community is slowly dying. The key answer is three words: jobs, jobs, jobs.

Movie to describe your life: THE ORIGINAL CAR WASH (1976).

This is a national epidemic. One community cannot solve the opiate crisis on its own, which is why we need more federal and state dollars allocated to address this widely pervasive issue.

Once the state gets into the full administrative production of legalized medical marijuana in 2017, I would propose that trained certified doctors recommend for pain a CBD primarily based medical marijuana painkiller (relax people, not with the THC high) first, and see what that does. No one has died from medical marijuana and it is time that we used this valuable resource. Remember, large corporations hate this idea as it takes away from the revenue of pill manufactures and drug stores, but this has to change. Choose non lethal drugs first and then let your doctor decide medication recommendations without repercussions for the physician. This costs the city, county or state nothing and saves hundreds of lives.

Considering the limited resources, what will you do to address our area’s opiate epidemic?

Best advice: JACK FORD ONCE TOLD ME, “DON’T GET IN POLITICS UNLESS YOU WANT TO SERVE PEOPLE.”

In 2002, there were 14 community development corporations (CDCs) in Toledo. In 2004, there were eight CDCs. In 2016, there are two. Community development corporations are essential, as they address the blight that exists in many neighborhoods and advocate for more resources to be brought to such disadvantaged areas.

Continue education programs. Support families.

Considering the limited resources, what will you do to address our area’s opiate epidemic?

Sewers should be evaluated for runoff.

What more can, and should, we do to protect Lake Erie? What changes should be made immediately?

Enforce the Clean Water Act and establish measures for maximum daily nutrient loads from all locations [point and nonpoint sources]. Water quality. Water is our most precious resource and we need to find solutions to protect and preserve that resource.

I believe that if taxes and regulations are reduced. Private sector solutions and freedom will lead to economic expansion and jobs. Jobs are the highest economic need here in our area.

What single issue facing our area are you most passionate about and why?

By examining other metropolitan areas and what they have done to maintain the unique and historical architecture of their downtowns and modernizing and renovating the interiors of these buildings to make them more attractive to prospective residents.

The heroin epidemic. As Clerk of Courts, I see first-hand individuals coming through our doors and the damage done by this terrible addiction.

Next book you’ll read: THE NEW JIM CROW BY MICHELLE ALEXANDER.

How can you ensure that downtown Toledo’s continued development enhances, without interrupting, Toledo’s unique character?

More recreation programs for our youth. Years ago, while growing up in East Toledo, the City of Toledo would drop off small sheds containing all sorts of recreation items, such as baseball equipment, footballs, etc. Each city park had a supervisor that ran a mentoring program for our youth. We need to get back to this concept because as is often said, our youth are the future and we must do everything possible to provide positive outlets and activities for them.

Evaluate neighborhood support services. What efforts have, or have not, been successful? Why is community infrastructure important to you?

Favorite way to unwind: BICYCLE OR HIKE, SWIM, READ.

I think we need to focus more on the decriminalization of this issue and provide funding for help with addiction as a health issue.

What is your biggest concern for Toledo and how do you plan to address it?

Transportation is vital to any community; road and bridge infrastructure is currently underway throughout the Toledo area. Neighborhood support services, like Sparrow’s Nest and Cherry Street Mission, the Helping Hands of St. Louis, East Toledo Family Center, the Adelante Center and so many other community groups successfully provide services to many of our citizens in need.

I believe that the local church’s role should be primary.

Evaluate neighborhood support services. What efforts have, or have not, been successful? Why is community infrastructure important to you?

Toledo is an older city like many other metropolitan areas throughout the country. We need to repair and replace our infrastructure, such as our sewers, water lines and streets to name a few, and begin from underground and move upwards. Seek new ways to access federal grant money to assist in modernizing our infrastructure by providing an initial influx of dollars to start the process.

Last book you read: THE LAST LION BY PETER S. CANELLOS.

As one who lives on Lake Erie in the City of Oregon, I have seen firsthand how the the Oregon City Council was proactive in expanding and upgrading the water treatment facility. We need to continue to address the phosphorus runoff entering the watershed and find ways to better circulate the water in and around the City of Toledo water intake.

Interesting notes:  Each state can enact its own rules for getting on the ballot. Most of the names on Ohio’s candidate list will not be listed on the ballot, but will be eligible as "write-ins."  Ohio is one of only 43 states that permit such write-in presidential candidates, according to Daily Kos/Bloomberg.  No President in history, has had to provide a copy of a birth certificate to state boards of elections to prove U.S. citizenship. In fact, the legal definition of natural born citizen includes people born in a foreign country to a U.S. Citizen Parent. Presidential candidate Ted Cruz was born in Canada, but he still qualified as a natural born citizen.  And lest you be concerned, there is no filing fee to run for President.

Ohio’s 2016 Presidential Guide, published by Ohio’s Secretary of State, explains. To run for President:  Be at least 35 years old.  Be a natural-born citizen  Be a USA resident for at least 14 years.  Collect 15,000 signatures of registered Ohio voters (“electors”) on a petition  File a list of 18 electors to represent them in the Electoral College if they win the State of Ohio.

The Lucas County Board of Elections lists 20 candidates registered to run for President and accepted for voting ( including write in) on the November 8 ballot. In addition to notables Clinton, Trump, Johnson and Stein. So what does it take to be an eligible candidate?

David Maxwell Fine

To run for President of the United States meet 5 requirements At the federal level, the Congress must fund the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act passed earlier this year. My efforts to pass the bill were somewhat stymied when Republicans refused to support efforts to fund its provisions. Later, I was successful in getting funding included in a bill passed in the final hours before Congress bolted for campaigning. More resources will be needed, but the efforts I led have given us some footing for federal help to communities struggling with this serious public health challenge.

As an urban planner by profession, I believe support structures are critical to the success of neighborhoods. A mix of employment and educational opportunities, access to fresh and local foods, green space, entertainment access, and safe and affordable housing makes successful neighborhoods. We are rising to the challenge through efforts to establish businesses in underserved urban areas, the planting of community gardens, an emphasis on improved public space, and targeted investment in schools and housing.

The largest reason we are dealing with the opiate epidemic in America is because we have not secured our borders. I support future President Trump’s efforts to secure our borders.

My opponent is almost singlehandedly responsible for the harmful algae blooms in the Lake. She sponsored the first bill for a renewable fuel standard that required corn-based ethanol to be mixed into our gasoline. That bill morphed into a Senate bill that is now the current RFS (Renewable Fuel Standard). Every science expert agrees that HABs (Harmful Algal Blooms) are caused by heavy rains washing fertilizer into our streams and lakes. Because of corn ethanol and the RFS, farmers have used much more fertilizer than what they would otherwise. Unlike my opponent I want a sensible plan to phase out the RFS mandate. With proper trade policies farmers can survive and thrive once again without the RFS. I will look out for the farmer and the environment in Washington D.C.

The problems in Lake Erie are bi-national in scope and require a bi-national solution. To that end, USEPA, the Great Lakes States and the Canadian government have been working under a collaborative agreement. A co-chair of the Great Lakes Task Force, beginning in 2002 I initiated interagency and private sector dialogue through the Western Lake Erie Basin Partnership and directed funding to NRCS to bring a $41 million investment in conservation efforts to improve water quality. The federal Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, launched in 2010 authorizes for a $475 million federal investment, to fund efforts to reduce nutrients, manage invasive species, control sediment erosion, support habitat restoration, and support research and monitoring in the Great Lakes system. Improving the health of our Great Lake is among our highest priorities.

What more can, and should, we do to protect Lake Erie? What changes should be made immediately?

Foreign Trade Policy. Because it greatly impacts all of our manufacturing centers. Our most important jobs are our manufacturing jobs. Manufacturing jobs make possible the arsenal that defends our freedoms. We cannot count on globalist forces to defend America’s best interests. Agricultural jobs are of almost equal importance. We must be able to feed ourselves. We have strayed too far in agriculture in producing fuel that our food security is now threatened and we have become more and more dependent on other nations for our food supply. Being dependent on foreign oil and gas has been painful and being dependent upon foreign food can be even more painful.

The spirit of our people inspires me every day. Our citizenry knows that with hard work and determination we can overcome challenges and assure Toledo continues to be a great place to live and to work for generations to come.

All services have been lacking for a very long time. In some areas, there has been some improvement. Cultural and community infrastructure plays an important role in bringing people together, helping to form friendships and social support networks, and in helping communities to develop life skills and resilience. All these attributes are essential elements in the creation and maintenance of strong communities. Communities can invest more in their infrastructure when their economy is prosperous and I will be a voice for prosperity in Washington D.C..

JUDGE

Campaign theme song: “GOOD RIDDANCE (TIME OF YOUR LIFE)” BY GREEN DAY.

As a Judge and former Assistant Lucas County prosecutor, one of my primary concerns is the safety of our community and the protection of individual rights. As a citizen, I am also concerned with the economic stability and growth of Toledo. Although my role would change in the Appellate Court, I would continue to provide the respected judicial services that our community has benefitted from for decades. I would continue to believe that each voice is important and I would continue to provide consistent, wellreasoned judicial decisions.

My goal is to ensure that Toledo’s courtrooms operate in an efficient, fair, and legally-correct manner. I will do that by bringing my strong work ethic and my private-practice experience to the appellate bench where I will work hard to issue timely, fair, well-reasoned, and legally-sound opinions that are written in plain English. The law should not be a mystery and courts should write clear opinions so that everyone understands their legal rights and obligations.

My biggest concern is a fair and effective system of justice. I will address it by working to efficiently utilize taxpayer dollars and treat all people equally and fairly.

As a judge, I can promise local business owners and leaders that I will handle civil disputes in my courtroom in a swift manner so that businesses and negotiations are not frozen waiting on decisions from the court. One of the biggest complaints I have heard from civil attorneys and local business leaders is that court proceedings move too slowly and it has a negative impact on progress. Justice delayed is truly justice denied. If elected as a judge, I will not forget that I am a public servant and owe a duty of diligence to the public I serve.

The opiate epidemic is huge and it is scary. People are dying on a daily basis because of this highly addictive poison that is being peddled on our streets. Judges who educated themselves about this epidemic and the most effective ways of combating it can be integral in fighting this battle that has ruined families and taken lives. I am uniquely qualified to do that because of my experience as an Assistant Lucas County Prosecutor and a leader in our community. I am dedicated to thinking outside of the box and exploring methods that help protect our community in the long-term while getting addicts the help they need to climb out of this hole of addiction. I am dedicated to our new drug court in the Common Pleas Court and have advocated for it as a prosecutor. I also think that a strong message must be sent to those who traffic these drugs in our community. If you sell a product that is killing people, your sentence should be reflective of that. I grew up in Toledo and I have very deep roots here. It is important to me that Toledo continues to grow and thrive for generations to come. As an Assistant Lucas County Prosecutor, I have had a direct effect on the safety of our neighborhoods. I have tried over 50 felony jury trials and made sure that murderers, rapists and violent predators have gotten the sentences they deserve. Unfortunately, as a judicial candidate, I’m prevented from elaborating much more than that.

Evaluate neighborhood support services. What efforts have, or have not, been successful?

No comment.

While the role of an appellate judge would have limited contact with downtown Toledo development, should a case present before me, I am required to follow and apply the applicable law. As a lifelong resident of Toledo and the surrounding area, I find Toledo's unique character of being a "Big Small Town" is one that embraces change while being respectful to its heritage. Toledo has done an impressive job of creating an environment for modern development and for the re-purposing of the existing buildings with a modern flair. The home of the Toledo Mud Hens (Fifth-Third Field), the development of the Steam Plant, and the reutilization of the buildings in the Warehouse District are great examples of how downtown Toledo's continued development enhances, without interrupting Toledo's unique character.

My law firm is headquartered in downtown Toledo, and I am excited to see the growth and development over the last several years. I would contribute to downtown Toledo’s continued success by resolving appeals related to business disputes (as well as all other disputes) in a consistent, timely, and correct manner. A well-functioning judiciary creates a stable environment for economic growth.

“No answer supplied by the candidate.”

Over the last several years as our need for more addiction treatment services have become necessary, we have seen agencies and service providers come forward to try to meet an overwhelming demand. Instead of recreating the wheel, community coalitions are joining services to help those in need and to get information out to the community. This is not directly an Appellate Court issue, however, neighborhood support and services are vital to crime prevention, the reduction of recidivism rates, and for the support for reentry after incarceration. Appropriate and stable housing, education, mental health services, and substance abuse counseling are critical to the stability of our community. These services have been vital to me in my current role.

How can you ensure that downtown Toledo’s continued development enhances, without interrupting, Toledo’s unique character?

What is your biggest concern for Toledo and how do you plan to address it?

I am passionate about the strides our judicial and law enforcement community has made in making a commitment to address incarceration populations and the greater concern of the revolving door of over incarceration. Through the development of informational tools, educational programs, behavior modification training, and re-entry support services we are working to address needs in order to stabilize an individual. The development and better use of the tools, and the greater understanding of the services needed has made for a better potential outcome.

As an appellate judge, I would address the timeliness and quality of judicial opinions. I have spent my career performing complex legal research and writing – the two requisite skills of any great appellate judge. I have been hired by a diverse array of individuals and businesses to solve important legal problems. I often have to juggle competing court deadlines and work within a budget. I would operate at this same level of intensity as a judge where I would decide cases swiftly and correctly – saving taxpayer dollars and doing the job that the voters sent me there to do.

The independence of the judiciary, because judges are the pillar of our judicial system.

Community safety. Lucas County simply cannot thrive unless its residents feel safe. I have dedicated my career to public service with the Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office, where I have been a trial attorney for the past 11 years. I’ve tried over 50 felony jury trials, including aggravated murder, rape and complex fraud cases. I was the first prosecutor in Lucas County to achieve a trial conviction on the charge of participating in a criminal gang. I have been the voice for victims who have suffered unimaginable tragedy. I have taken violent and dangerous predators off of our streets. I have protected children who have been abused. I am the candidate that police and fire trust to keep our community safe, as I have been endorsed by the Toledo Police Command Officers Association, the Toledo Police Patrolman’s Association, Sheriff John Tharp and the Toledo Firefighters Union. I am the only candidate in this race with the necessary experience for the job.

When we asked local professionals, we learned this question is harder to ask than answer. Sure, the conundrum doesn’t rival the chicken and egg mystery, but the inquiry hatched a truth: sometimes, the origins of personal development are unknown. We call it self-growth for a reason— some things are best nurtured in pairs. So, whether you want to start by looking good or by feeling good, we’re confident that the advice these pros provide will help us all grow into a happier, healthier people who look as good as they feel.

What’s the first rule of health? Planning ahead. If I don’t have my schedule nailed down for the week, including workouts and meals, I will fall of the wagon and make terrible choices out of convenience. How do you make healthy habits stick? I’m human, so I slip up some-

times. To prevent myself from making excuses about working out, I like to have a “workout friend.” It motivates me to go and holds me accountable. I also think it’s important to find workouts that you really enjoy— something you look forward to, instead of dreading the gym.

What’s your guilty pleasure— and how do you avoid it? Chips. Any Chip. I’m horrible at avoiding them. What’s more important to good health— self-control or self-love? For me, it is definitely self-control.

I wake up every day with good intentions of “self-love,” but sometimes the tortilla chips and the couch taunt me. Selfcontrol situations present themselves far too frequently.

Dr. Wade Banker, MD, owner What’s something that people think is healthy, that isn’t?

Supplements— be careful. They aren’t regulated, so make sure you know what you’re taking and how much you should be taking. Don’t be afraid to ask your doctor about it.

Why do I hate the gym so much? It takes time to see gains, so

it can be hard to stay motivated at first. I was an NCAA wrestler before medical school and I still go every day, so maybe I’ll see you there!

Being in the restaurant business for over ten years makes you realize the impact food in general has on your health. It challenges me to eat healthier and to serve healthier FRESH food to customers.

What’s more important to good health— self-control or self-love?

SELF-LOVE. Because when you love yourself it’s easier to have control.

How has your idea of health changed throughout your career? Doctors can do more today than ever before. For instance,

augmentation is now done under local anesthesia, which was unheard of ten years ago. Medicine is moving fast.

How can my environment change my mood? We seek safety, security, and physi-

cal as well as psychological comfort. As such, you can imagine how clean, uncluttered, well illuminated rooms at the right temperature can elevate one’s mood; conversely, stressful stimuli can affect one’s mood negatively. I specially pay attention to this fact when seeing younger patients. Our facilities are purposefully built (especially our latest building in Sylvania) to provide views to the outside. Poor air quality, noise and glare are avoided as much as possible. Lastly, I try to provide diversion all in an attempt to reduce stress.

When you can’t fall asleep, you... say the Serenity Prayer.

Southern soul food in the north By Jeff Klima

Sadly, Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mae didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live to see the opening of the restaurant that bears her name, but as Tarrant says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her spirit is here with us every day.â&#x20AC;?

EntrĂŠe: Meatloaf Side: Mac & Cheese.

Tarrantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal favorite, the meatloaf here is on another level of loafed meats. Two big cuts smothered in what tastes like brown sugar glaze, makes this entrĂŠe option almost dessert-like. As a selfprofessed â&#x20AC;&#x153;meatloaf expert,â&#x20AC;? I declare this to be the best meatloaf Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had. Turns out, I knew nothing about good meatloaf before this. And as a fan of pairing foods to harness the tastes together, the mac & cheese was stellar with the meatloaf.

EntrĂŠe: Chicken Wings: Side: Collard Greens

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crispyâ&#x20AC;? is de rigueur when talking about fried chicken, and these wings find a good balance between crispy and juicy. In short, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too dry or too salty. The real delight here is the collard greens. With turkey meat mixed in, it ups the complexity of the flavors and gave me a whole new way to eat my vegetables.

EntrĂŠe: Roast Beef Side: Dirty Rice

Another gravy-smothered option, the roast beef is beyond tender and flavorful. I pretty much just had to show it the side of my fork and it fell into bite-sized pieces. Like all the entrĂŠes, this one makes for a belly-filling meal. And the dirty rice, also with turkey, is delicious. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem fair to have to pick from this many savory sides.

Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Maeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy lives on through her recipesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; carefully prepared by her family.

EntrĂŠe: Pork Chops Side: Yams & potato salad

When the Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;maeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff found out we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ordered the yams or the sweet potatoes, they insisted we try both. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do eggy foods, but my wife hoarded the potato salad and declared it â&#x20AC;&#x153;amazing.â&#x20AC;? The yams, soft and sweet, are now a must-order on my return visits. The huge, fried porkchops are enhanced with hot sauce.

Millionaire Pie

Anything called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Millionaire Pieâ&#x20AC;? earns my attention. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like your grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambrosia salad, topped with a little coconut, then placed on a pie crust. In case I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it clear, this is a strong â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;?

Red Velvet Cake

This is importantâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the cake flavor was not overwhelmed by the cream cheese frosting. A lot of red velvet cakes miss the mark on that. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that problem here.

Taste of the Arts: Dinner Under Glass The Toledo Museum of Art Glass Pavilion

Sell your soul for Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Maeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Cooking Toledo is a food cityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; almost every culture and nationality is represented in restaurant or street vendor form. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to understand if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been to Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;maeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Cooking yet. Open since 2013, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatively newâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it has an old soul. Michelle Tarrant, Jaleo Young and Geside Hunter started Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;maeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as a family joint named afterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and inspired byâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the recipes of Tarrantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mae. Hiding in the back of her sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s station wagon in Selma, Alabama, Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mae smuggled herself up to Ohio with a collection of incredible soul food recipes. Years later, Tarrantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son suggested that the family use those recipes and open a restaurant that would go on to be a finalist in our 2016 Dining Awards.

Witches brew, Japanese style

Double, double, toil and trouble. Part of a larger, ongoing art exhibition, this presentation of Shakespeare on Film: Throne of Blood positions the violent and ghostly drama Macbeth in feudal Japan. As a warrior rises to power amidst a backdrop of sorcery, scheming and murder, supernatural elements drive him to madness. This Akira Kurosawadirected adaptation takes liberties with the original story, but legendary book critic Harold Bloom called this the most successful film adaptation of Macbeth. Kurosawa-stalwart Toshiro Mifune plays the lead and Isuzu Yamata shines in a powerful role as his villainous wife. 2pm. Sunday, November 6. Toledo Museum of Art Little Theater, 2445 Monroe St., 419-255-8000. toledomuseum.org Free —JK

Picture worth a hundred words

Need a little reminder that vanity gone Wilde is a dangerous affair? Art House Films Series: The Picture of Dorian Grey tells of a mysterious man who stays forever young, even as a portrait of him grows old and ugly. Oscar Wilde’s macabre novel, adapted for film by Albert Lewin, features one of Angela Lansbury’s first performances. This classic horror film, to be screened just in time for Halloween, has been adapted for the screen eight times since this 1945 version (and five times before it!). The story is theorized to be a twisted secret love letter in a scandalous-for-the-time homosexual courtship. 7pm. Friday, October 28. Toledo Museum of Art Little Theater, 2445 Monroe St., 419-255-8000. toledomuseum.org Free —JK

Sometimes, distance makes the heart grow somber Few conflicts can compete with sibling rivalries. Through thick or thin, and for better or for worse, difficult siblings are hard to escape— unless they do the hard part for you and move far, far away. Such is the case in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. While gloomy homebodies Vanya and Sonia enjoy comfortable commiseration, their leisurely lifestyle is supported by movie-star sister, Masha. Despite longheld resentment, rivalries flare when Masha returns to the family home— arm in arm with her hunky boy-toy Spike— to discuss her plan to sell the house she owns. Presented by the Black Swamp Players. $25. 7:30pm Thursday-Saturday, November 3-5. Cla-zel Theatre, 127 N. Main St., Bowling Green. 419-353-5000. blackswampplayers.org

Starving to be satisfied

online: bit.ly/eventbrite_nwohiomasquerade cocktail attire cash bar and commemorative masks available for purchase

We all have our own methods of self-torture— but for a gourmand, a sadistic appetite can hardly be satiated with low-quality snacks. Instead, The Village Players’ upcoming play, An Empty Plate in the Café du Grand Boeuf, demonstrates that some niche appetites are more easily starved, not fed, to be satisfied. The comedy is set in the four-star French Café du Grand Boeuf where owner Victor is presented with a unique order: to die of starvation at his own table. After protest, the staff and Victor achieve a curious compromise— he will enjoy one last meal, but only if it consists of a “feast of adjectives and adverbs.” Bon appetit. $18/general, $16/seniors. 8pm Friday-Saturday, November 4-5. 8pm, Thursday-Saturday, November 10-12. 2pm, Sunday November 13.

Appreciating independence The Toledo Library puts films into focus Jeff McGinnis

A hitman reluctantly agrees to a contract, even though it’s his birthday. The members of a Japanese punk band struggle with their personal identity. A celebrated African-American musician tries to build bridges of understanding with members of the Ku Klux Klan. If you want to experience stories like that on the big screen, then it’s time to head to the… library? These kinds of films and more will be exhibited at the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library’s Film Focus Series, a biannual celebration of independent movies. “With Film Focus, you can kind of go back to that— or continue to embrace— the experience of coming into a room and letting the world fall away by entering the world on the screen,” says Tracy Montri, manager of the Audio-Visual and Popular Library-Tech departments for the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library.

A labor of love

Now in its 13th year, the Film Focus Series presents lesser-known films, both foreign and domestic, at free screenings in the McMaster Center located in the Main Library downtown. This fall’s edition of the program begins October 20, and continues on Thursdays through November 17.

Turn in your unused or expired medication for safe disposal

focuses on a group of young kids in a crumbling Detroit neighborhood. “It’s a nice, little, somewhat-ofa-low-budget short, shot in Detroit. I think it’s a really great narrative metaphor for a lot of what is going on– certainly in Detroit, and we can certainly extend that to Toledo,” she says. “That sort of war of identity. ‘What is our history? What is our current experience? Where do we see ourselves going forward?’ “I was so engrossed by that, because ...this captures everything that Film Focus is about in many ways, and then it has that kind of local tie.”

A community experience

Whether they see one film or all of them, Montri says she hopes attendees of the Series leave with a deeper respect for independent movies, and for the library itself. “I hope they get an even greater appreciation of the power of film. I hope that they learn to, or continue to, refuel their passion for non-mainstream art. And I hope that they can appreciate the community experience that they can have at the library, through this program.”

Saturday October 22, 2016 10am-2pm The following are the collection sites for the Take Back Initiative in the surrounding areas:

Docu-comedy “Mad Tiger,” featuring the members of “Japanese Action Comic Punk Band” Peelander-Z, plays on October 27.

The Film Focus Series will be screened Thursdays at 7pm, October 20 through November 17. No presentation on November 10. Admission is free. Toledo Lucas County Public Library Main Branch McMaster Center, 325 N. Michigan St., 419-259-5200. toledolibrary.org

“The mission of the program is to find great quality films that we hope people will appreciate coming out to see…. films that you wouldn’t otherwise have access to,” Montri said. The Film Focus Series is a true labor of love for Montri, who has worked for the library for nearly two decades. Yearround, she scans reviews and takes in film festivals to find movies to present as a part of the event.

Wonderfully eclectic

The selection of titles is wonderfully eclectic, as usual. The festival begins with two offbeat titles, presented in association with the Holy Toledo Laughfest: the dark Dutch comedy “Schneider vs. Bax” (October 20) and the bizarre docucomedy “Mad Tiger” (October 27). The festival’s tone becomes more introspective with the remarkable documentary, “Accidental Courtesy” (November 3), a look at African-American musician Daryl Davis’ efforts to befriend members of the Ku Klux Klan and, ultimately, convince them to leave their racism behind. “I’m hoping it can start a major discussion locally,” Montri says of the film. The fall series closes with the Festival of Shorts (November 17), a 90-minute selection of short films in a wide variety of genres.

Please drop off presciption pills only.

Liquids, syringes, inhalers, and illegal drugs will not be accepted.

Montri is especially excited to exhibit “Wait ‘til the Wolves Make Nice,” which

For the LOL of art

It’s easy to put art on a pedestal and get fussy with it. After all, in a museum, a lot of art is displayed on pedestals. And sure, Greco-Roman nudes are great, but Art History isn’t frozen in marble. We can seriously care about art without only caring about serious art— for some artists, humor and magic are as important as anything learned in art school. Celebrate the creative prowess of these like-minded forms of expression during the October Art Loop: The Art of Comedy & Magic. Coinciding with the Holy Toledo Laugh Fest, the October 3rd Thursday Loop (on 10/20) will present special exhibits and events full of laughs and magic to remind you that sometimes art is funny. See Bird’s Eye View Circus, Magic Shows, comedian Brad Wenzel at Fleetwood’s Taproom, plus an Art Loop Pop-up exhibit, WTF? (Work That’s Funny) at Handmade Toledo. Curated by artist Luke Ellison, WTF? will show humorous art in 2D and 3D. For more info, see online. 5:30-8:30pm Thursday, October 20. Downtown Toledo. theartscommission. org/artloop Free

You’re such a doll…

In 1917, the Toledo Museum of Art founder Edward Drummond Libbey spent $30,000 (today, the equivalent of $680,000) on 78 Doucet Dolls from France. A purchase that might even make Kanye West raise an eyebrow, Libbey’s dolls donned the finest couture-quality fabrics from premiere French factories. Technically, Libbey’s dolls aren’t dolls at all— they are “fashion figures”— but the small, meticulously-clothed figurines are beautiful. See them up close, and hear their stories, during Libbey Dolls: Fashioning the Story, opening Friday, October 28. Through February 12.

Doug Amstutz Toledo According to_____________! Toledo’s a big town with a lot of friendly faces. Ever wonder what a walk in Ottawa Park, or throughout Downtown, is like for other residents? We’re stepping inside the soles and souls of Toledoans to learn how they fill up their Glass City.

How Doug fills up his glass(city)

Name: Doug Amstutz Age: Perpetually 25 Occupation: Owner/Operator of Realm Nightclub and Concert Venue Toledoan since: I was 6 months old.

The last store I went to is

All Star Music.

If money wasn’t an object, I would book the Foo Fighters.

When out of towners visit us, I always take them to Stella’s, Sakura or Mancy’s Steakhouse.

The local artists and musicians I love are too many to list! I see so much incredible local talent come thru our doors at Realm it’s impossible to name just one… some are – Noisy Neighbors, Angola Road, Tropic Bombs, Boogie Matrix, Peanutbutter Wiiliams & Friends, Johnny K’s Kommunity Service, Fail & Deliver, Jeff Stewart, The Bridges, Social Impact, RMO, Flatline Revival, Chris Shutters… and that’s just a few off the top of my head!

Thanks TCP Read�rs fo� Our 2 Wins!

The first three words that come to mind about Toledo are friends, home and family.

I know The Oasis will satisfy my munchies.

My favorite neighborhood is

Beverly in South Toledo.

I wish Club Bijou were still open. Toledo’s motto should be “It can happen

for you in Toledo.”

With all the potholes in the roads, Toledo’s theme song should be Down in a Hole – Alice in Chains

The Toledo Police Department and the Toledo Fire Department are the Toledoans I most admire. They put themselves at risk to keep us safe and secure!

The street I drive/walk on most often is

When I want to unwind I go to Doc Watson’s.

The hardest thing about living in Toledo is the weather, but the best thing is it will change again in an hour.

I always brag about Toledo’s live music scene, restaurants and great people!

We can sing Happy Birthday to all Scorpios; see Mercury move into their sign; make resolutions on the new moon, and celebrate Halloween. All news should be good! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BY SUE LOVETT ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have the urge to travel again! Hopefully you can do it without compromising your career. Money looks good starting the 24th BUT you should think about saving some for a rainy day. Celebrate Halloween with good friends.

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) A trip on the 21st is fun so returning to work on the 24th is difficult. The fun starts again on the 26th as you prepare for Halloween. You wear something that looks like royalty and pass out elegant gifts to the children.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Starting the 22nd, you relax and go along with your partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas. Of course that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last very long. Get busy on your plans for the Trick or Treaters! You prefer making your own special treats for them.

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) On the 24th, you are excited about upcoming parties. You delight in scaring everyone at work. This is your favorite holiday so your home is decorated and you wear your costume when passing out goodies.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You want to stay near home (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unusual) the 22nd and 23rd to prepare costumes and â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodie bagsâ&#x20AC;? for the Trick or Treatersl The 29th and 30th are filled with party invitations but you stay at home to see the children on Halloween.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) A few days away starting the 21st should include a football game. Your team wins! Then you slow down and begin creating special gifts for Halloween. You still win a prize even if you wear last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costume.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) By the 24th you forget about home improvements and meet yourself coming and going preparing for Halloween. Take some treats to work and wear your costume also on the 31st. It will be easier because you are prepared.

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19) You have already started making treats and designing costumes by the 19th. You may be gone the 22nd to visit friends or attend a football game, or both. From the 24th through the 31st it is all about Halloween.

LEO (July 23-August 22) The sun shines where you live after the 22nd but it does not keep you home. Your energy shifts to Halloween. Dress like a king or queen because you really are royalty. Wear your costume to work and let everyone there worship you!

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) Beginning the 22nd think more about your career so you try to combine hard work and play at the same time. Play wins the argument so put your energy into a costume for Halloween. There are parties you attend the 29th and 29th.

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) You began on the 19th to prepare for Halloween. You are so conscious about healthy eating that you pass out apples to the children. Wear your costume to work (either a nurse or doctor) and end the month with a smile.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) You are thinking about travel. Make reservations for a cruise or on a beach this winter. You hate snow and ice and cold weather. Remember Halloween is coming so decorate your home, make your costume and get ready for parties.

Alex Rodriguez Age 23 Occupation: Model & Nightclub Promoter

Old Orchard Block Party

The beautiful West Toledo neighborhood celebrated community with live music, activities and a potluck on Sunday, Oct. 2.

Sometimes style isn’t conventional or predictable— it’s completely experimental. That is exactly how male model, Alex (also known by his alias, Alejandro) describes his alternative and hip wardrobe. When he isn’t traveling across the country for impromptu photoshoots or fashion shows, you can find Alex promoting parties at nightclubs, like Realm, right here in Toledo.

Seated: David & Susan Lee Standing: Kent Cabatingan and Morgan Crowley John Mattimoe, Lisa Byers and Dave Towse.

I see you have quite a few tattoos. Do you know how many you have or have you lost count? I have 21 tattoos and I eventually want to cover my whole body with them. As long as I am breathing, I’m never going to stop getting tattoos.

What would you say sets your style apart from everyone else?

I am a skateboarder who mixes my love for Hip-Hop style with a Punk Rock swag. I have yet to run into someone who looks or dresses like me.

I love your gauges! They are very unique. Where did find them? At the jewelry kiosk in Franklin Park Mall called Body Arts. I buy gauges with stones because they are more eye-catching.

How can someone find those distressed jeans you have on? I get my jeans from Top Threadz Toledo at 2903 Dorr Street. The brand I wear mostly is Raw & Dirty Jeans, which most don’t know cost $150 per pair.

You are wearing a UT Rockets tee... Is that your way of showing your Toledo Pride? Do you wear Toledo gear on a regular basis?

Yes, I am one of those individuals that feel like, “You will do better in Toledo,” and it is what you make it. As a male model, I travel a lot and still have yet to experience anywhere like home. Too many people leave Toledo and forget where they come from. I want my style to scream that I’m from the Glass City.

G N U UNS S E O HER

corner Pam Weirauch, owner of Pam’s Corner, hasn’t always fed Toledo’s lunch crowd— for 24 years, she worked in a dental office. But, as she tells it bluntly, she needed a change: “Mid-life crisis, early 40s… I needed to do something for myself.” Since 2002, Pam’s Corner has become a fixture of the downtown scene. “The vibe downtown is incredible and people have a passion for being here. It’s a community all on its own,” Pam explains. For Pam, being an Unsung Hero is about building upon the community spirit and fostering care for her neighbors. When neighbors need help, even other restaurants, Pam pitches in. “I saw on Facebook once that one of the restaurants downtown was without a server and a hostess during a game night (for the Mudhens). So I went there and worked as a hostess. . . at another restaurant. People asked, ‘What are you doing here?’ And I said, ‘A friend needed something. Of course I’m gonna help— I know what it’s like to be understaffed during a busy time.’”

Pam Weirauch

To be successful in business, Pam has one rule: stay honest. “I’m not perfect and I screw up,” she admits. “But you have to acknowledge that and fix it. Having a small business is about integrity.”

Unsung Heroes is sponsored by ProMedica Cancer Institute. Treating people with cancer in our community isn’t just our job, it’s our passion. Our doctors and staff are inspired every day by the strength of people who refuse to let a cancer diagnosis define them. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we remind you that early detection is key. Be familiar with your breasts and discuss any changes with your doctor. Visit us at promedica.org/cancer.
