MINDING OUR BUSINESS

Lies and the lying liars who tell them

Mancy’s— Uncorked Fill your glass at the Bottle Shop

Alternative facts in City Politics

by Johnny Hildo

Toledoans love wine, almost so much that you could hear the collective sigh of local oenophiles when The Anderson’s closed their doors.

Now what? Mancy’s Restaurant Group is ready to fill your glass with their newest concept— the Bottle Shop at Mancy’s Italian.

Opening Wednesday, September 27, the fine wine and craft beer store— complete with a wine club, classes and a tasting room— will service wine connoisseurs and newbies alike.

We caught up with the Tricia Rasar, the Bottle Shop’s wine director, who holds a certification in wine education (and she is a former wine buyer for The Andersons), to hear more about what to expect.

How long has this concept been in the works? I’d say it’s always been in the back of George’s [Mancy] mind for a few years. But the idea and actual plans began this past winter. The retail floor space is mostly wine, with prices varying from $10-$1000. We will also have three taps for craft beer. We will also fill wine growlers taps offering draft wine, which is also available in the restaurant.

Draft wine? Tell us more. From the restaurant perspective, there’s no waste. The wine won’t go bad, and since there isn’t air exposure, there aren’t any ‘bad bottles’. From a cost perspective, the larger the quantity of the container, the less it costs to package and ship, so we’re able to offer wines at a lesser cost than if we bought the same wine in the bottle.

Is draft wine new to the industry?

It’s definitely newer in NW Ohio, but winemakers have been doing it on the East and West coasts for quite a while— especially the West Coast,

6

Surely he knows better. But his unbridled personal ambition gets the better of him.

Integrity? Scrupulous adherence to the truth? Nah, it’s a race to the 22nd Floor, kiddeez, and apparently nothing is too sacred to distort in the quest for the prize.

So Wade Kapszukiewicz, once known as a bright, competent pol, has slunk down into the gutter and become an unapologetic liar.

where they offer tasting rooms and keg their own wine.

Are certain wines better on draft than others? You can do a bubbly wine, but the bubbles don’t last. We have a Prosecco on tap, but that’s not one I’d really want to send home with someone in a growler, unless they were taking it home to use right away.

White wine typically lasts a couple days longer than red wine.

What about canned wines? We hear those are gaining popularity. Yes. There’s one producer that I like, so we’re going to bring some in.

We’ll focus on them more during the summer when it’s boating and picnic season.

You have a lot experience in the industry. Will you share your secrets with customers? Yes, I’ve actually taught wine classes around the city for a couple of years, so we will start doing that out of the wine shop as well. We will also host regular Thursday evening wine tastings and Friday craft beer tastings.

Bottle Shop at Mancy’s Italian is located at 5453 Monroe St and will open at 5:30pm on Wednesday, September 27 with a Celebratory Champagne Tasting.

For more information about tastings, the wine club, and the shop’s offerings, call 419-824-2463 or visit facebook.com/bottleshopmig.

Here are the worst of his prevarications.

Wade claims he balances the County’s five hundred million dollar budget “to the penny.” This is a lie on several levels. First and foremost is the simple fact that, as County Treasurer, Wade doesn’t set the County budget and has no oversight over it. That’s the job of the County Commissioners. The Treasurer is a flowthrough office, meaning money simply flows through. Taxpayers pay what they owe to the Treasurer, who then allots it to other places as dictated by statute and voter-approved levies.

The only budget Wade oversees is that of his own office. The office budget is much smaller, and simpler, than the complex budget of the City of Toledo. The latter has multiple and complicated revenue streams and expenditures. Wade just has a payroll. And we doubt he directly oversees even that, given the fact that he has a bloated administrative staff that actually runs the Treasurer’s office.

The other lie about the budget is that he balances it. The County budget, and City budget, for that matter, is balanced for exactly one second. That’s when the last vote that approves it is recorded.

Even at that second it is merely aspirational, composed of projections and conjecture. Before and after that, the money is flowing in from multiple sources, some restricted in use, others more generally available. Bills are paid, contracts are signed, payroll is made, appropriations are recorded.

Simply put, the money in and money out happens at a fluctuating and unpredictable pace. It is never perfectly “balanced,” let alone to the penny.

September 13 • September 26

Inside Outsider?

Here’s another big lie. Wade claims he is an outsider, poised to bring an outsider’s perspective to running the City.

This from a pol who has been in elected office continuously for over two decades.

He has never had a job outside politics since his twenties. He was a member of Toledo City Council in the nineties, and was vice-chair of the committee that whiffed and didn’t ensure the proper line items were created to account for the “missing $8.2 million” he continuously harps on. In other words, the dreaded commingling of funds started with lack of oversight by his own bad self.

Which brings us to another lie. No money was ever “missing.” A certain amount in the Capital Improvement Program, or CIP, had to be earmarked for use in a specific geographic area. The Hicks Hudson Administration accounted for it all along. The Bell Administration had placed it in a fund from sources they likely shouldn’t have, but that horse is out of the barn and down the road. The point is that the total of funds in the CIP was known all along, as was the amount that had to be reserved for use near the Franklin Park Mall.

To say otherwise, as Wade does again and again and again, is a flat out, pants on fire, Pinocchio-nosed, bald-faced lie.

Talking credit

Then there’s Paula HH. We wouldn’t call her crowing that $3 billion dollars in investment have flowed into the city on her watch a lie. It is true.

The only problem is that most of it had nothing to do with her Administration.

Heck, much of it was planned long before she was in office. It’s not a lie. Call it a fudged misrepresentation.

Unfortunately, it’s all in a day’s work in City Politics. By the time you read this, the City primary election will be over and one or both of the fabricators will have moved on to the general election.

Let’s hope the truth moves on with them.

Food in the North

Dually’s Gastro Pub serves pub grub and thirst quenchers

By Jeff Klima

Dually’s Gastro Pub is one of those overlooked places, stashed in industrialized north Toledo, but it’s worth a trip to sample the pub fare, sip on seasonal craft brews and meet some good, local folks.

Rachel Lovette, owner of Dually’s, embraces an air of friendliness at the restaurant/pub that starts with her and extends to her staff and their customers. A hub for regulars, everyone is friendly and chatty, something that Lovette cultivates. “90 percent of my customers, I just want to hug,” she says, happily.

Dually’s, named as the restaurant is a means of funding her two daughters’ futures, has been open since June 2016, but in that short time, the eatery, down the street from Whitmer High School has become the de facto hangout for the adult post-football game crowd.

“I started off as a server years ago at Sardini’s (and Sons) and Friendly’s and then I was a bartender up and down Alexis and Laskey,” explains Lovette of her past. “I fell into an incredible deal here, I was able to buy all the equipment and the license. I couldn’t turn it down.”

The Appetizers

Dually’s takes care of you in the appetizer game, offering up classic fried options such as onion rings, green pepper rings, pickles and loaded fries, along with innovations such as sriracha nachos and crab-stuffed mushrooms. The fried pickles and french fries are cut into spears here, emphasizing the taste of the veggie or tuber not the cooking oil. And for lovers of seafood, the crab-stuffed mushrooms, blanketed in melted cheese, are a fantastic way to begin a meal.

The Entrées

There is a lot to pick from here (pizza, steaks, burgers, fish tacos, chicken

chunks, salads, etc.), but the 16” Works pizza with its handcut toppings is highly recommended. “I don’t like to go to a place where they have just one thing on the menu,” Lovette says of her menu’s variety. The highlight of Dually’s offerings is the mac and cheese, in several variations , from a classic cavatappi and house-made sauce to an alfredo with chicken. The chicken alfredo mac is one of those dishes where you look down and realize you ate the whole thing.

Dually’s could prove dangerous for the health-conscious with the Dually’s deuce, a BLT that delivers you, literally, a pound of bacon along with the lettuce and tomato. “I created that one for my other half; he loves bacon,” Lovette explains.

The Dessert

Dually’s has a few different dessert options, but our waitress, Hillary, insisted we try the brownie, which isn’t actually on the menu yet (they have a new menu coming). “It’s my favorite,” Hillary said, promising it was big enough for even the heartiest sweet tooth. She wasn’t kidding— a massive square of gooey, moist chocolate arrived topped high with whipped cream with caramel and chocolate syrups drizzled atop. It is the Mount Everest of desserts— don’t try and summit it alone, bring your friends.

There’s a lot to enjoy about Dually’s.

While a lot of selections were sampled on our visit, this place requires a few trips to properly explore the menu (the Fungi burger is excellent, Hillary promises).

And a plentiful selection of cold beers and cocktails to enjoy while doing it.

Dually’s Gastro Pub is open 11am-11pm Monday through Sunday and is located at 1917 W. Alexis Rd., 419-725-4782. facebook.com/whiskey.toledo

CURTAIN CALL Catch a Killer for a Good Cause

Symphony of Trees to hold first Murder Mystery Dinner fundraiser Written by Jeff McGinnis A murder is staged amid partygoers -- guests dressed to attend a costume ball, each gathering clues and weeding out suspects. Questions hung in the air -- who was responsible for all this and would we catch the killer in time?

On September 23, the first Masquerade Murder Mystery Dinner in support of local charity Symphony of Trees, at La Roe’s Restaurant in Grand Rapids, Ohio, is an “interactive whodunit,� an evening-long theatrical presentation featuring twists, turns, betrayals and, of course...murder! (Cue lightning crash here.)

Masquerade Murder

“We had an anonymous benefactor who donated the money to pay [for the event],� said Pam Thompson, board member and current second chair of Symphony of Trees. “The Murder Mystery Company will put on the event. They have a lot of experience doing this. They will bring actors and costumes, for a whole night of not only food and friendship but also entertainment.�

The event begins at 5:30 with a cash bar, followed by a buffet meal catered

by La Roe’s. Throughout the evening, attendees will examine clues, talk with suspects and begin to determine who is the killer among them.

Trying Something Different

All proceeds from the event will benefit Symphony of Trees, an organization in its 17th year that raises funds for children in need throughout the area. The group’s major event -- its namesake fundraiser with a display of Christmas trees -- takes place in November, Symphony of Trees raises

money year round for several agencies in Henry County. “Symphony of Trees has a yearround working board and different events...5K runs, we did the sand castle at Levis Commons a couple of years ago. We’re always looking for different things to expand our proceeds.

We want [people] to realize that in Northwest Ohio, we’ve got communities that support each other and help each other, and lift each other up,�

Thompson said. $60. 5:30pm. Saturday, September 23.

REEL APPEAL Screening Regional Stories 3rd Annual Maumee Film Festival gears up

By Joel Sensenig

Last year, Brett Wineland won the 48-Hour Film Challenge with “Torn”, an emotional, five-minute film about a conflicted man.

The Maumee Film Festival, a chance for Toledo area filmmakers to show their skills behind the camera, is hosted at the Maumee Indoor Theater, Saturday, Sept. 23. This year’s panel of judges, who personally watch and rank the submitted films, includes Katie Holmes, her sister Tamera Fretti and Maumee native and actor Robert Knepper, best known for his role on the FOX series Prison Break.

The third annual festival includes a short film challenge, an open genre competition where films of 12 minutes or less compete for cash prizes, as well as the Project-4 Challenge, where filmmakers get four days to complete a project which includes a given line of dialogue as well as at least one scene shot identifying Maumee.

Judges are reviewing 45 short film submissions as well as 10 Project-4 entries.

Past experience

Last year, filmmaker Brett Wineland made his film festival debut in Maumee with “Torn” — a five-minute piece about a man’s feelings for both his wife and another man — which won the 48-Hour Film Challenge (when participants had just two days instead of four to complete their movies).

“One thing I got from the festival was the sense of community,” said Wineland, now attending film school at BGSU. “Everyone is just very excited to do projects. They want to know how you did something, they want to hook up on a future project, they want your opinion on what they shot — it’s a very humble community. There are people I met at the festival that I’m in communication with on a regular basis.”

Alex Goetz, a local filmmaker who along with Justin Grubb won “Best of Fest” honors at the inaugural Festival

in 2015 with their film “Living Isle,” is part of the festival planning committee to improve the event for both filmmakers and viewers, traveling to film festivals around the region, taking notes on what he liked — and what he didn’t.

“We want to make this event even bigger and better,” he said. “The Maumee Film Festival has a lot of potential to be a great event for film enthusiasts in Northwest Ohio.”

Networking frames

Nancy Gagnet, festival chair, said the event offers a unique opportunity for filmmakers to network with likeminded individuals in Toledo. “The Maumee Film Festival is a fantastic opportunity for local and regional filmmakers to connect with each other and showcase their work,” she said. “You never know what chance meetings could open doors and lead to more opportunities. That is what we want to provide to those in the film community.”

To help foster networking, the festival has added a kickoff event for participating filmmakers at Maumee’s own Westcott Soundstage, where attendees can tour the studio, network and peruse new movie-making gear. Adding professional actors such as Holmes and Knepper to the judges’ panel benefits those with submitted films, Goetz noted. “It’s a unique opportunity for any filmmaker to have Katie Holmes and Robert Knepper watching their films,” he said. Organizers are not certain whether the judges will attend the festival.

General admission tickets for the festival are $6, available at the Maumee Indoor Theater box office or online at maumeefilmfestival.com. Visit the website for screening times.

The Picasso process

Pablo Picasso finished Guernica, arguably his most famous painting, in June 1937. Over 11 ft. tall and 25 ft. wide, the expansive anti-war mural responded to the Spanish Civil War with distorted figures in gray scale. Violent, expressive and breathtaking, the work pushed back at the audience, provoking unease and curiosity. In 1956, French filmmaker Henri-Georges Clouzot showcased the Spanish artist in the documentary The Mystery of Picasso, following the start-to-finish creation of 20 original works.

Detailing the creation of the master’s work, the film prompts questions and demonstrates that Picasso’s mystery lies beyond the canvas.

The Oracle Hysterical: Chamber Pop Sextet at TMA

Unique blend of literature and music in the Peristyle

By Michael Pierce

On September 23rd, New York based The Oracle Hysterical will perform a live version of their forthcoming album Hecuba in the Peristyle at the Toledo Museum of Art. Named after the Greek tragedy by Euripides, the album is a telling of the play set to song. “We describe ourselves as part book club and part band – because one of us will read a book and bring it to the rest of us, having fallen in love with it, and we will write music around it”, says band leader Brad Balliet. “That’s how most of our projects have come about.”

Core members of the band include Brad on bassoon and his brother Doug Balliett on the double bass and gamba, vocalists Majel Connery and Elliot Colea, percussionist Dylan Green, and guitarist Chris Botta – who produced the album.

Many Influences

Each of the six members’ combined love for literature and music is what makes this project stand out. Their sound is often described as “Chamber Pop”, which Balliet calls “A mix between classical chamber music and indie pop.”

But while their influences are deeply rooted in classical and baroque music, both Brad and his brother Doug can recall a time in graduate school where they focused on producing hip hop albums.

“We were both composition students at Rice University in Texas with a love for

hip hop music – particularly for Aesop Rock”, says Brad. “So we both wanted to try our hand at rapping and producing beats. We did a couple of rap albums that way and performed in Switzerland and New York as sort of an early version of what became The Oracle Hysterical.”

World Premiere in Toledo

Their Toledo show will be the first time that the group will perform the album with just the six core members. “We’re doing a trial run in New York in September, but in a lot of ways, we consider the show in Toledo to be the world premiere of the live version of this album”, says Balliett. “Our goal is to make the performance as close to the album as possible.”

Album Release

The album itself will not be out until May of next year. “The album has been done for some time now. We’ve just been waiting for the right time to release it – a time when all six of us had time to start performing live”, explains Balliett. The Peristyle, modeled after the Greek agora, is the perfect place to launch a musical performance inspired by Euripides.

September 23rd at 8pm. Tickets are $10, or $5 for museum members. For more information, go to toledomuseum.org or oraclehysterical.com

Poorer than poor

Scaling these issues to Toledo’s urban core, the needs and potential for urban agricultural interventions are clear.

The number of concentrated poverty areas in Toledo (where 40 percent of a given census tract lives below the federal poverty level) are the third highest in the nation. Of the approximate 113,000 Toledo residents living in poverty, 35 percent live in extremely poor neighborhoods ( per 2016 Brookings Institution report, US Concentrated Poverty in the Wake of the Great Recession).

ready to let IIs Toledo growers grow? n Rust Belt cities like Toledo, where populations are dwindling and vacant lots abound, urban farms are community-driven solutions that lend a progressive thinking to the renewal process. But the issue at the heart of urban farming is more basic: people are hungry. Urban farmers know this. “We (central city residents) are not getting the nutrients we need,” says Thomas Jackson, an urban farmer at the core of the urban farming issue in Toledo (see sidebar).

exclusively online at toledocitypaper.com

According to 2015 data from Feeding America and Mind the Meal Gap, 17.8 percent of Lucas County Residents experience food insecurity, just above the Ohio average, where one in six people experience food insecurity. These numbers square with USDA data from a 20132015 study, which ranked Ohio as the seventh most food insecure state in the nation. Ironically, Ohio is the 13th most agriculturally productive state per cash receipts by commodity, also according to the USDA. This means that in a hungry state, farmers export their food and residents eat imported food

www.toledocitypaper.com

Being poor in a poor neighborhood is even worse. Along all major indexes of public health, education, and economic opportunity, poor residents of poor neighborhoods fare worse than poor residents living in non-impoverished areas.

Distributed across race, the impact of concentrated poverty on people of color is even greater. Though whites account for 44 percent of America’s poor, only 18 percent live in extremely impoverished neighborhoods.

Limited social mobility for poor black and brown people occurs daily and materially through diminished access to nutritious food, quality education, land, and capital.

processed foods causes irritability and other issues that are misread, when, in reality, it’s the way the body is processing those foods.

To demonstrate ZONE’s impact on a variety of levels, Cunningham shares an anecdote about a program participant who came into the program not knowing what asparagus was. By the end of the season, not only did this individual know how to grow, harvest, and cook asparagus, but also was proudly passing on that knowledge to family and peers.

In his work with youth groups at the ZONE Farm, an acronym for “Zepf Centers Organic gardening and Nutrition Education program”, Cunningham teaches skill development and self-efficacy. Eschewing the coded label “at-risk youth,” often used to describe the young people he works with, he acknowledges a range of challenging circumstances they face: “A lot get in trouble at school, many have undiagnosed depression that manifests as irritability, frustration or challenges to authority.” As well, a diet based in processed foods, he explains, leads to “changes in blood sugar that can cause irritability and other issues that are “misread as ODD or ADD, when, in reality, it’s the diet and the way that their body is processing those foods.”

September 13 • September 26

33

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Let’s meet in the woods after midnight and tell each other stories about our origins, revealing the secrets we almost forgot we had.

Let’s sing the songs that electrified our emotions all those years ago when we first fell in love with our lives. Starlight will glow on our ancient faces. The fragrance of loam will seep into our voices like rainwater feeding the trees’ roots.

We’ll feel the earth turning on its axis, and sense the rumble of future memories coming to greet us. We’ll join hands, gaze into the dreams in each other’s eyes, and dive as deep as we need to go to find hidden treasures.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re half-intoxicated by your puzzling adventures -- and half-bewildered, as well. Sometimes you’re spinning out fancy moves, sweet tricks, and surprising gambits. On other occasions you’re stumbling and bumbling and mumbling. Are you really going to keep up this rhythm? I hope so, because your persistence in navigating through the challenging fun could generate big rewards. Like what, for example?

Like the redemptive transformation of a mess into an asset.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Free your mind and your ass will follow,� sings funk pioneer George Clinton in his song “Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts.�

And what’s the best way to free your mind? Clinton advises you to “Be careful of the thought-seeds you plant in the garden of your mind.� That’s because the ideas you obsess on will eventually grow into the experiences you attract into your life. “Good thoughts bring forth good fruit,� he croons, while “Bullshit thoughts rot your meat.� Any questions, Taurus?

According to my astrological analysis, this is the best possible counsel for you to receive right now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): James Loewen wrote a book called Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong. He said, for instance, that during the Europeans’ invasion and conquest of the continent, it wasn’t true that Native Americans scalped white settlers. In fact, it was mostly the other way around: whites scalped Indians. Here’s another example: The famous blind and deaf person, Helen Keller, was not a sentimental spokesperson for sweetness and light, but rather a radical feminist and socialist who advocated revolution. I invite you to apply Loewen’s investigative approach to your personal past, Gemini. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to uncover hidden, incomplete, and distorted versions of your history, and correct them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Roger Hodge writes books now, but when he worked for Harper’s magazine, he had an unusual specialty. He gathered heaps of quirky facts, and assembled several at a time into long sentences that had a nutty poetic grace. Here’s an example: “British cattle have regional accents, elephants mourn their dead, nicotine sobers drunk rats, scientists have concluded that teenagers are physically incapable of being considerate, and clinical trials of an ‘orgasmatron’ are underway in North Carolina.� I’m offering Hodge as a worthy role model for you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Be curious, miscellaneous, and freeflowing. Let your mind wander luxuriantly as you make unexpected connections. Capitalize on the potential blessings that appear through zesty twists and tangy turns.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In Japan you can buy a brand of candy that’s called The Great Buddha’s Nose Snot. Each piece consists of a rice puff that resembles the Buddha’s nose filled with bits of brown sugar that symbolize the snot. The candymaking company assures customers that eating this treat brings them good luck. I invite you to be equally earthy and irreverent about your own spiritual values in the coming days. You’re in prime position to humanize your relationship with divine influences . . . to develop a more visceral passion for your holiest ideals . . . to translate your noblest aspirations into practical, enjoyable actions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Will a routine trip to carry out an errand take you on a detour to the suburbs of the promised land? Will you worry you’re turning into a monster, only to find the freakishness is just a phase that you had to pass through on your way to unveiling some of your dormant beauty? Will

34

a provocative figure from the past lead you on a productive wild-goose chase into the future? These are some of the possible storylines I’ll be monitoring as I follow your progress in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I don’t usually recommend giving gifts with strings attached. On the contrary, I advise you to offer your blessings without having any expectations at all. Generosity often works best when the recipients are free to use it any way they see fit. In the coming weeks, however, I’m making an exception to my rule.

According to my reading of the omens, now is a time to be specific and forceful about the way you’d like your gifts to be used. As an example of how not to proceed, consider the venture capitalist who donated $25,000 to the University of Colorado. All he got in return was a rest room in a campus building named after him. If you give away $25,000, Scorpio, make sure you at least get a whole building named after you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Now that you’re getting a taste of what life would be like if you ruled the world, I’ll recommend a manual. It’s called How To Start Your Own Country, by Erwin Strauss. (Get a free peek here: tinyurl.com/YouSovereign.) You could study it for tips on how to obtain national sovereignty, how to recruit new citizens, and how to avoid paying taxes to yourself. (P.S.: You can make dramatic strides toward being the boss of yourself and your destiny even without forming your own nation.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There was a time when not even the most ambitious explorers climbed mountains. In the western world, the first time it happened was in 1492, when a Frenchman named Antoine de Ville ascended to the top of Mont Aiguille, using ladders, ropes, and other props. I see you as having a kinship with de Ville in the coming weeks, Capricorn. I’d love to see you embark on a big adventure that would involve you trying on the role of a pioneer. This feat wouldn’t necessarily require strenuous training and physical courage. It might be more about daring creativity and moral courage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Science fiction proposes that there are alternate worlds alongside the visible one -- hidden, yes, but perhaps accessible with the right knowledge or luck. In recent years, maverick physicists have given the idea more credibility, theorizing that parallel universes exist right next to ours. Even if these hypothetical places aren’t literally real, they serve as an excellent metaphor. Most of us are so thoroughly embedded in our own chosen niche that we are oblivious to the realities that other people inhabit. I bring these thoughts to your attention, Aquarius, because it’s a favorable time to tap into those alternate, parallel, secret, unknown, or unofficial realms. Wake up to the rich sources that have been so close to you, but so far away.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’m always in favor of you cultivating a robust relationship with your primal longings. But I’ll be rooting extra hard for you to do that during the next eleven months. I hope you will dig deep to identify your primal longings, and I hope you will revere them as the wellspring of your life energy, and I hope you will figure out all the tricks and strategies you will need to fulfill them. Here’s a hint about how to achieve the best results as you do this noble work: Define your primal longings with as much precision as you can, so that you will never pursue passing fancies that bear just a superficial resemblance to the real things.

The Festival of India

Tracee Perryman

By Megan Yasu Davis

Toledoans kept busy with dancing, entertainment, fragrant street food, shopping, education and more during this annual ethnic festival.

Chrys Peterson and DJ One Tyme

As a recording artist and the executive director and co-founder of Center of Hope Family Services, Dr. Tracee Perryman is busy. Attending a community event or a forum with local leaders, Tracee knows how to dress for the occasion.

How do you decide what to wear each day?

I typically decide the night before. I start by thinking about the mood or impression I am trying to convey. If I’m feeling anxious, I look for a relaxed look. If I have a challenge before me, I look for an outfit that exudes confidence.

Annika Nairne-Awls and Chelsea Wroblewski.

As Dr. P, do you have a standard “uniform”?

The 52nd German American Festival Beer, brats and tradition were on the menu during this annual weekend festival.

I dress according to what is appropriate for the occasion, which is a form of respect. I want our clients to know that we take the job and them seriously. I avoid a standard “uniform.” I challenge myself to come up with new looks, and new translations of older looks.

What are the top three pieces in your wardrobe and why? Spanx are my number

one. Spanx allow clothes to fit better, and remain positioned in the appropriate place.

In front of groups, Spanx smooth body parts, allowing the audience to focus on my words, and not my clothes or body.

Second: properly fitting black dress in washable fabrics. I prefer long sleeves and for the dress to fall slightly below the knees, so I can wear them to work, after work, or to church. I accessorize with scarves, jewelry, or handbags.

Finally: long-sleeved jump suits in cool jewel tones, which accommodate my busy schedule. A jumpsuit can be modified with a blazer, scarf, or jewelry.

Jack Renz and Alissandra Hurdelbrink.

Hans O. Henoch, Jack Renz, Wendy Ziems-Mueller and Axel Mueller.

How do you balance fashion and comfort?

I spend about half of my day in managerial tasks, and the other half in direct programming. Dresses and slacks now come in comfortable, washable, breathable, stain resistant fabrics. I keep a blazer in my office for unexpected, formal meetings. I also rely on colorful flats and wedge heels. For comfort, I select loose-fitting clothes.

Since you are also a recording artist, what is the title for a theme song that describes your style. “You’re Worth It!” Many times,

our style suffers because we don’t believe we are worth the time or the investment. I show others that I am worth their consideration and respect and of staying true to myself.

Though I may wear a business suit, I find a way to demonstrate that I am not defined by my career or my title. My title is Dr. P, but I am Tracee Perryman. I am comfortable being Tracee Perryman; I deserve respect as an individual and a human being.
