People, incorporated

The United States is “of the people”— not the corporation— but that preamble to our constitution was redefined on January 21, 2010 with the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which granted corporations personhood and constitutional rights. To combat that, Toledo voters established Democracy Day on March 5, 2016, which functions as an annual, mandatory hearing between the public, the mayor, and city council members concerning the influence of money on local politics and the impact of political contributions from corporations, unions, PACS and Super-PACS. Following Democracy Day, the mayor is required by law to send a letter to our congressional representatives urging them to support a constitutional amendment that says corporations are not people. Join the conversation at 4pm on Monday, March 5 in the City Council Chambers of 1 Government Center. movetoamend.org/oh-toledo Free

Steinem supports Fedor

The 83-year-old feminist icon Gloria Steinem and the 61-yearold democratic Ohio House Representative have more than a few things in common: they are both Toledo natives, fierce advocates for a women’s right to choose, and supporters of Toledo’s Capitol Care Network, which was set to close until ProMedica agreed to sign a long awaited transfer agreement earlier in February. Join both women’s rights leaders during Gloria Steinem’s Kick-Off Event for Teresa Fedor’s bid to become the next Ohio State Senator. Stay tuned online at toledocitypaper.com for further updates on Fedor and Steinem’s relationship and advocacy for Capital Care.

The Very Best of City Politics by Johnny Hildo We been gettin’ a bad rap. Some folks accuse of us being too negative, of always finding the gray cloud for every silver lining. But, in the spirit of the good and the great, and the theme of this special issue, we bring you our own paean to the pols of Frogtown USA. This is our Best of City Politics, Hildo-style. And the first category is 1. Best spelling bee stumper in a leading role. Hands down, the runaway winner is Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz. Wade is a smart policy-wonk. He takes the reins during a true Toledo renaissance, and has the right balance of rootedness in Toledo and vision of something far beyond our rusty confines to push the envelope. He has populated his administration with young, fresh faces. Only one distracting setback. Wade has a last name that, well it is not in keeping with his predecessors and notable Froggy Bottom names from the history books. Previous occupants of the 22d floor had names like Ford, Bell, Collins and before them, Owens, McHugh, Kessler and DeGood. Ok, there was a hyphenation with HicksHudson and even HWSNBN had a moniker that could be spelled phonetically. Names from our more distant and broader community history include Jones (the Golden Rule variety), Start, Waite, Scott, Willys all fairly easily spelled. Us locals become accustomed to Dorr, with one ‘o’ and two ‘r’s’ and Libbey, with an ‘e’, but a last name with 13 letters. What’s a writer to do? Here’s to you, intrepid respeller of your last name — 5 vowels, 2 ‘k’s’ and 2 ‘z’s’. You are the Best of Toledo! 2. Biggest overachiever. This category has never been as hotly contested as it is right now. For years it has been dominated by the obvious choice, County Auditor Anita Lopez. Let’s face it, Anita has her obstacles to greatness. She once memorably held a press conference to refute rumors that she couldn’t speak publicly without coaching from the sidelines, then interrupted it to get some coaching from the sidelines. Her Blutarsky-esque speeches are the stuff of legend. Even so, Anita has been elected to the Toledo School Board, then County Recorder, then took on the incumbent County Auditor and won. Even her futile run for Mayor in twenty thirteen, thought by some to be so inept that it would have derailed a lesser pol, was only a minor setback. This year, however, presents a tie in the overachiever category. The odd sojourn of County Treasurer Lindsay Webb from wannabe attorney to Trea-

www.toledocitypaper.com

surer appointee, accomplished against the odds after revelation of Lindsay’s abysmal, junk bond credit score — over achievement in the greatest sense. Lindsay has cobbled together a weighty political career from ashes and red ink. And is now the lead financial officer for a major Ohio county. Congrats, Anita and Lindsay, you are the Best of Toledo! 3. Best extreme makeover. Sandy Spang is a straight up, true believer Republican. She votes with Republicans. she caucuses with Republicans, she even meets with Republicans behind the scenes to decide their weird Republican stuff. Yet she styles herself an “Independent” with a capital “I.” It’s tough to admit you’re a Republican in blue Toledo, and even in slightly less blue Lucas County. What’s an ambitious budding pol to do? Sandy’s done a wizard-like job of hiding her identity from the average voter. For that, Sandy, you are the Best of Toledo! 4. Best sky-diving parachute in a crash-landing role. In a new category this year, we have to praise good ol’ Georgie Sarantou. A mediocre City Councilman, he did nothing of note amid blase comments and predictable votes. He tried real hard to run for other office, but never made the grade. Mayor D. Mike Collins, remembered the term-limited Georgie, rewarding him with a fat administration paycheck as Finance Director. A job he was illsuited for, having failed to predict the collapse of Toledo’s economy and attendant financial woes of the late aughts and early twenty tens as Finance Chair on Council. Georgie continued in the role under PHH’s administration, where he failed to account for or properly explain some eight-plus million in capital improvement money, a snafu that likely helped cost PHH her re-election bid. Alas, Georgie wasn’t there for PHH’s demise. He had already resigned. No crash landings for our Georgie. Somehow he is now the court administrator for the Probate Court. A life-long Republican, with no legal background, and two public flameouts, has a big enough parachute for a soft-landing with a Democratic judge, into another job he is ill-suited for and without qualifications. Nice work, Georgie. You are the Best of Toledo! There you have it. Our tribute to the great and near-great. Back handed compliments, you say? Masking more typically Hildoesque vitriol and derision? Oh well, folks. That’s the Best of City Politics.

CITY SIDE Toledo Metroparks Run With Vision Green Growth in the City By Sarah Emily

Five years into a bold 20 year plan, Toledo Metroparks is providing the community with greater access to the Parks System by creating more public parks, corridors, greenways, restored wetlands, and natural spaces. Soon, with the completion of a new Park, Manhattan Marsh (scheduled to open in 2019), all residents of Lucas Co. will live within five miles of a Metropark. Through combined efforts with Citizens for Buckeye Basin Parks and the Lucas Co. Land Bank, the space once lovingly referred to as ‘Detwiler Ditch’ will see a complete transformation. Named after the forgotten and defunct port-town of Manhattan, a few miles upstream from Toledo, shipping canals connected the town with the Maumee. Not long after, as Toledo quickly became the popular choice for commerce, Manhattan was incorporated into the metropolis- its canals no longer used. Through years of restoration efforts, this former wetland will once again be a natural area.

Downtown beautification

Over the last few years, several new Parks have opened, with an additional five in the final planning and creation phase. Toledo’s downtown was graced with Middlegrounds Park, which opened in Fall, 2016 making use of the riverfront and views of the skyline. Originally used for the burgeoning port economy of Toledo in the early 19th century, the 28 acre space was in disuse for decades. A key feature of the park are the ‘treatment drains’, specialized areas that capture dirty runoff from the High Level Bridge, filtering clean water back into the Maumee. Complete with walking trails, a picnic pavilion, and a dog park, Middlegrounds, situated between Owens Corning and the Norfolk Southern rail-yard, is lovely green space for a newly progressive downtown. Green is definitely in.

Restoration efforts for Lake Erie complete the puzzle

Just east of Oregon, off Rt.2, restoration efforts have led to the creation of another new Metropark, Howard Marsh scheduled to open this spring. The space, purchased by the Metroparks in 2008, has been converted from a 1,000 acre GMO cornfield back to its natural state — a wetland. Wetlands once constituted our entire region comprising the Great Black Swamp stretching from Port Clinton to Ft.Wayne. Farming, and later, city development, transformed the area.

Now, these efforts to restore the wetland also serve to clean up Lake Erie. Once revived, Howard Marsh will actively filter harmful toxins and excess nitrogen from the watershed before reaching Erie’s waters. At completion, the park will link two large preserved areas- Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and Cedar Point Wildlife Refuge on Erie’s coast. The restored coastline, making up a substantial portion of N.W. Ohio, from Oregon to Port Clinton, is comprised of Federal, State, City, and County run lands. Together, these Reserves have a powerful impact on the big lake’s water quality. Home to countless songbirds, warblers, and Bald Eagles, the area attracts birdwatchers and nature seekers from across the nation and, in fact, the world. Howard Marsh stands out as a new park model, successfully combining critical watershed restoration with popular recreation activities.

Community is key

With the Park District’s vision becoming a reality, Lucas Co. experiences an abundance of natural splendor. Future Metroparks are planned for Monclova, Southwyck, and Reynolds Corners. Toledo’s historic neighborhoods that would benefit from a Metropark— Onyx, Southside, Air Line Junction, and Roosevelt— are poised for green development. For these projects to continue, community support is the key. Scott Carpenter, the Park District’s Director of Public Relations explained that 90% of operating costs are funded by Lucas Co. residents through tax incentives. The latest levy last November passed with a whopping 75% of voters in support, demonstrating that a large majority of community residents endorse the beautification and restoration of Lucas County. To keep the vision moving forward, call off work, get outside and head to the park. metroparkstoledo.com

Grand Rapids Taproom to open in April By Dave Kubacki

There’s a depth and history to barrelaged beers and it comes as no surprise that Nicholas Scott, owner of Wild Side Brewing Company, chose downtown Grand Rapids, a place with a lot of history, as the future location, of his taproom, which will open April 15. Wild Side, which Scott characterizes as an American farmhouse style brewery, focuses entirely on barrel-aged brews. From barrels that held spirits to barrels that held wine, the aging vessels add depth and complexity to Scott’s beers. “I’m not much of a businessman,” Scott said. “This was more of an art project. Barrel-aged beers, particularly wild ales, are my favorite styles of beer and no one in the area was doing them. What’s difficult with this style is that these beers don’t adhere to a schedule. I can’t control when these beers are going to be ready.”

Wild ales derive from beers that are introduced to wild yeast or bacteria from oak barrels or other sour mash techniques. Where bourbon barrels and rum barrels often add characteristics of oak, vanilla or caramel to beers, wild ales often have acidic, tart or sour characteristics. Because wild ales utilize wild yeast strains and bacteria, they can be somewhat unpredictable. “I’m like a coach,” Scott said. “I try to encourage the environment instead of controlling the environment.”

From memberships to a taproom

Instead of releasing bottles through retail stores or opening a taproom, Wild Side Brewing Company’s brewery opted to create a membership program, Syndicate. This allows the brewers to hone their craft while gaining a reputation within the beer community for producing high quality, barrel-aged beers. Following early success and the resultant momentum, Wild Side made plans to expand the membership program and create a taproom. Scott sees downtown Grand Rapids as the ideal location. “Beyond my fishing addiction, the town itself is truly beautiful and has character that they unfortunately are not making more of these days,” Scott said. “I hope to use beer and the town as a way to both make and tell stories of who and what we are. My beer is all about a sense

February 28 • March13

of time and place, and Grand Rapids, Ohio is the perfect bedrock for that.” Wild Side Brewing Company’s taproom will add to the burgeoning beer scene in the greater Toledo area, which includes Maumee Bay Brewing Company, Earnest Brew Works, Black Cloister Brewing Company, Black Frog Brewing and Great Black Swamp Brewing Company. According to Scott, his brewery will complement these breweries well. “I do very small batch and single barrel beers that live and breath the belief of quality over quantity,” he said. “I am only trying to carve out my time and place. Whether it’s good or bad, this is my singular vision and representation of what I think beer, and just as important, the experience of drinking beer should be.”

Carving out a niche in the community

So far, the response from the beer community indicates that Wild Side Brewing Company’s approach is working. Wild Side’s beers have made it to retail outlets over the past year, selling out extremely quickly. With the opening of the taproom this month, Scott hopes that trend continues. “My hope is to build a group comprised of craft beer aficionados, seekers and collectors that I can meet with and share not only beer, but my ambitions for the brewery so I can use their collective wisdom and appreciation for this craft to help guide the future of Wild Side.” For more information, follow Wild Side Brewing Company on Facebook or visit wildsidebrewing.com.

Mummy mischief

A good movie tells a story, drawing us in, making us think, and even identify with, the onscreen characters. On Sunday, March 4, The Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities hosts the CommUNITY Film Fest, a screening of films submitted by, for and about community members with disabilities. In its fourth year, the Film Fest purposely is scheduled to coincide with the Oscars— red carpet and all— promoting film as an ideal medium to tell the stories of individuals with disabilities. This year’s event features 14 films, three of which were independently made. The remaining collaborative films are given to a selected panel of judges, who place them into one of three categories: inclusion, inspiration and celebration of diversity. This year’s judges are councilperson Sandy Spang, local filmmakers Charles Wetzel and Kim Sanchez, WTOL’s Malena Caruso and Raquel Bravo from the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo. WTOL’s Jordan Strack and BCSN’s Tom Cole will act as MCs for the evening.

Creating something for everyone

As support and service administrator at the LCBDD, Lisa Comes makes sure the event runs smoothly. “We have a more diverse group of movies this year,” Comes explained. “There’s everything from independent films to people making political statements, love stories [ . . . ] something for everyone.” While participants must generate their own ideas, Comes connects them with volunteers, including herself, to provide assistance in creating the movie. “We meet with individuals who may want to submit but don’t have the physical ability and determine if there’s anyone in their life that could

www.toledocitypaper.com

help them, such as a friend, family member or provider. We also work with four or five volunteer filmmakers who are willing to assist,” she said.

Inclusive arts

Awards, given to the best in each category, are presented by winners from previous years. This year’s venue switch to the Ohio Theatre encourages attendees to visit different parts of town. Previous events were held at the Valentine Theatre in downtown Toledo and the Maumee Indoor Theatre. The stage at the Ohio Theatre is not raised, but rather set at the base of the auditorium, which will make it easier for participants and attendees. Members of the adaptive performing arts group iDance will appear and there will be an after-party in the lobby. “I’ve been able to see the benefit to the individuals who make their movies; it really builds their confidence in what they’re doing: having goals, acknowledging their struggles and getting through those hard times,” Comes said. “We wanted to remind people that folks with disabilities are your neighbors, they’re your coworkers, they’re at the movies with you, they’re everywhere you are. I feel like when you see the stories of people’s lives, you just really feel attached.”

In addition to the opening of the new mummy exhibit, Toledo Museum of Art will host multiple screenings of classic and comical mummy-themed movies. Explore the history of ancient Egypt with these family-friendly films where archaeologists search the ancient tombs and undead mummies look for their lovers. Showtimes: The Mummy’s Ghost (1944) and The Mummy’s Curse (1944)— 2pm Saturday, March 3. The Mummy (1959)— 2pm Saturday, March 10. Free/members, $5/non-members.

It’s Not Easy Eating Green

Writing through struggle

The exhibit showcases original works of her poetry, written as a response to abuse, addiction, heartbreak, loss and multiple suicide attempts. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the Center’s website states “our hope is that through a thousand words, one will walk away with a picture of hope, strength and survival.” 8:30am-5pm Monday-Friday.

Vegans need to plan ahead, especially when traveling, Rachel explains. “Whenever we travel we always try to find local sites. We really wanted to have a resource for anybody who was passing through the area.” The site has received a great response, with plenty of emails from appreciative travelers, while attracting local interest as well. “One of the most common inquiries we get is from non-vegans who are looking for a birthday or wedding cake,” says Michael. “They want to respect their guests or partner so they’ll turn to us for that information. It’s really cool to be able to offer that.” Vegantoledo.com contains almost 100 reviews and suggestions for local restaurants offering vegan options, a completely searchable guide organized by name, region and style, and a mapping feature.

Keeping it fresh

Mike and Rachel (above) will host a book discussion March 8 at Gathering Volumes in Perrysburg, reviewing Dr. Michael Gregor’s How Not To Die, a science-focused examination on the benefits of a plant-based diet. “We try to help vegans to eat healthier because there are vegans out there that don’t always make healthy decisions. We think there are a lot of decisions that even vegans can make that’ll improve their health,” Rachel says. After reading many nutrition books, Rachel was excited with how Gregor presents the information: “He’s laying it out as a scientist, and not just his

It can be challenging to make healthy choices without support, another reason they created the site, Rachel says. “[…] food is an emotional thing. It’s really easy for people to feel pressure— even when you’re not vegan, when you order something for a healthy reason it can feel like you’re judging others or they’re judging you, even if that’s not what’s going on. I have a lot of sympathy for that.” Michael offers this encouragement: “You can make changes in your life that will prevent you from needing to take lots of medicine later on— medicine that can be very challenging to leave behind.

Mapping Scientific History Rep Theatre show illuminates the work of an overlooked scientist By Jeff McGinnis

British scientist Rosalind Franklin, whose role in mapping the DNA molecule has been minimized by history. Depictions of the often-overlooked contributions of women in the world of science are finally becoming more common, in movies like Hidden Figures and plays like Silent Sky, performed at the Valentine earlier this year. Fitting into that mold is Photograph 51, Anna Ziegler’s play about British scientist Rosalind Franklin, whose role in mapping the DNA molecule has been minimized by history. A new production of Photograph 51 will take the Toledo Repertoire Theatre stage beginning March 9. The show’s director, David DeChristopher, said that he thinks audiences will be surprised by all the notes this particular show plays during its relatively brief running time.

Pure storytelling

“It is a dramedy based on real events,” DeChristopher said. “It makes science explicable for people. It’s also sort of an office... I don’t want to say comedy, but it’s about the relationships of people who are working together in an office. “It also is pure storytelling, narrated to the audience by all of the characters, in a fluid narration of scenes. It’s very accessible,” he added. “If you don’t know anything [about the story], you’ll find it fascinating, and if you know something about science, it will deepen your understanding.” As part of his responsibilities as the Rep’s artistic director, DeChristopher estimated that he suggests almost 80 percent of the plays that the Rep eventually puts up, including this “engaging and entertaining” piece. He noted how modern audiences will be able to identify and recognize the pattern of institutional sexism that led to Franklin’s work being overlooked.

February 28 • March 13

“It also speaks to the issue of office decorum and relationships,” DeChristopher said. “There’s no sexual anything, but in light of all the recent revelations, issues come up about workplace relationships, and proper channeling. But also, like Hidden Figures, it does speak to women getting shoved to the side or stereotypes being propagated against them.”

Quiet enthusiasm

DeChristopher looked for performers who would not be overwhelmed by the necessary British accents, while being able to embody the quiet enthusiasm scientists often have toward their work. “I was looking for people who were able to be communicative and also be subtle,” he said. “There’s a whole protocol of the way people behave in the sciences. You don’t want to see somebody excited; you want to see somebody true to what the protocol is in their world. So a lot of it is the way they use words— it’s a subtlety.” Like Rosalind Franklin and the scientists who came together to solve one of mankind’s endearing mysteries, this cast and crew’s spirit of invention and collaboration is an inspiration to DeChristopher. “Often you work on a play and you’re excited to get in rehearsal, and it feels very elemental, the bones don’t hold up, and you sort of get bored. This time, every time I go in, I find wonderful new things.” $20/general. $18/seniors. $12/students. $10/children age 13 and younger. March 9-25. 8pm, Thursdays-Saturdays. 2:30pm, Sundays.

ART TO HEART Journey in Their Shoes Exhibit asks locals to follow in the steps of a neighbor By Crys Jankowski

To truly understand someone, you “walk a mile” in his shoes. That’s the idea behind “Journey in Their Shoes,” an exhibit that tells the tale of local Toledoans, opening March 15 at Heart Gallery and Studios in St Paul’s Lutheran Church on Erie Street in downtown Toledo.

Shoes tell a story

Pairs of shoes will be displayed, accompanied by a narrative that provides a glimpse into the wearer’s daily life. This show’s importance is its exploration of the lives the individuals live, the stories they share, through the words offered to readers, showing everything from accomplishments to failures, with life in between. The narratives chronicle moments of unbridled joy, examples of challenges they have faced, regrets for not taking more steps in the shoes they wore and times when they realized just how far their footwear got them. Kate Philabaum, St Paul’s director of art ministries, explains that the church wanted a way to bring the community together so, through hard work and perseverance, members created Heart Gallery and Studios in the church building’s former educational wing. Now, through this exhibit and others like it, they hope to “celebrate the diverse Toledo we share,” according to Philabaum. “Each piece represents a Toledoan’s successes and struggles, something we can all relate to and understand in our hearts. Making that connection is so important to humanize our neighbor and continue building this city up to where we want it to be.”

Kate Philabaum, Director of Art Ministries at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.

Everyone has a Journey

Toledo’s variety of citizens is well represented in this show. From athletes to teachers, medical professionals to local activists, these shoes, Philabaum hopes, will be a “vehicle of conversation” across lives and professions. Stories of love, like the one attached to a pair of stained heels from a clumsy marriage proposal, and heartache, like those that belong to a PICU nurse are displayed side by side. Photographic works by James Dickerson accompany the footwear, including black-and-white portraits of Toledo residents, which continue the storytelling. March 15-17. 5-8pm, Thursday and Friday. 11am-2pm, Sunday. Heart Gallery and Studios 428 N. Erie St., 419-243-4214. facebook.com/HeartGalleryandStudios Free, but there will be a donation basket to help cover costs of drinks and snacks provided during the showings.

Bluegrass & Green Acres

Black Swamp Conservancy is growing sustenance By Michael Pierce Despite the rise of a post-industrial society, the need for the preservation of land and natural habitats remains ever important. Without preservation efforts, there’s a risk of permanently losing wildlife and our connection to the natural world around us.

Going natural

For 25 years, The Black Swamp Conservancy has maintained and preserved areas of Northwest Ohio. “We keep the woods a woods, the wetlands a wetlands, and the farm a farm,” says executive director Rob Krain. “Our mission is to protect and preserve natural habitats and family farms, including streams and wetlands, for future generations.” According to Krain, the conservancy and its large service area has “permanently protected over 1,700 acres of land across 16 Northwest Ohio counties.”

Branching out

The conservancy’s signature fundraising event, Bluegrass and Green Acres, will be held at the Toledo Zoo’s Malawi Event Center at 6:30pm Friday, March 16. Previous events had 300-350 supporters attend, but due to increasing interest, Krain expects a larger crowd this year. “The last three years we (held the event) at the Carranor Club in Perrysburg and before that we were at BGSU,” explains Krain. “Part of the reason we switched (the location) this year is to accommodate a larger crowd.”

Up for auction

During the event, the conservancy will hold both a silent and live auction, with restaurant gift cards and works of art among the items up for bid. “Metroparks is opening up camping on Granger Island this spring. They’ve

built a couple of platforms and a rustic cabin out there. One of our auction items will be the first official camping trip to the island,” Krain explains. “They’ve been working on it for about a year and they’re getting close to completion. The experience we’ll be auctioning will be the opportunity to do a guided short paddle or long paddle that will end at the island, and we’ll have a catered dinner, and we’ll come back in the morning to take them back to shore.”

New roots

One of the event’s main attractions will be a live performance by the Mark Lavengood Band. “We’ve used this event to bring some really talented musicians to the area,” says Krain. “People from out of town that are on the cutting edge of ‘Newgrass’ music— which takes bluegrass and combines elements of rock, jazz and blues. And Mark is very talented in that area.” As part of the Earthwork Music Collective, an independent label out of Southeast Michigan, “I hold environmental and social justice initiatives in the highest regard,” says Lavengood. According to its website, the label “believes in the intrinsic and historical power of music to raise community and self-awareness.” Since the release of his 2014 album No Part of Nothin’, Lavengood has been touring. Having spent the last eight years playing with Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys, he broke out on his own this past year and is currently working on new projects with a local/regional focus “I’ve been in the studio for about the last two and a half months,” says Lavengood. “I’m hoping to release the first single by April, and then have a new ep out this summer.”

The Conservancy’s 7th annual Bluegrass & Green Acres will feature a live performance by Mark Lavengood (above), a musician who combines bluegrass with elements of rock, jazz and blues.

Coming back

The first ever Bluegrass & Green Acres took place in 2011, and Lavengood, along with Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys, played their debut show that night. “The first gig on their first tour was our first Bluegrass & Green Acres seven years ago. And they’ve done really well touring internationally since then,” says Krain.

GET HEALTHY Self-defense is the new black (belt)

According to a 2005 survey by the United Nation Women organization, up to 70 percent of women experience physical or sexual violence from men in their lifetime, mostly by people they already know. These statistics are certainly unsettling, but we think it’s best to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. To help teach women the basics of self-defense, Sempai Shelly Blanco of the Martial Arts Center books special, one-hour clinics for private groups of up to 30 participants regularly. See what her sessions are all about during an open Self-Awareness and SelfDefense for Women training seminar, from 9-10:30am on Sunday, March 11. Register by contacting Shelly Blanco at blancoshelly@gmail.com. Martial Arts Center at the Shops at Fallen Timbers, 3100 Main St., Maumee. 419-385-1000. Ohiomartialarts.com

TOLEDO ACCORDING TO... Ommi Aponte Years lived in Toledo: 2 Occupation: Reception Supervisor Renaissance Hotel

My story, in one sentence: A long series of goodbyes…or hellos, depending on your outlook. One song lyric to describe my ideal self: “I’m a man with a mission, in two or three editions and I’m giving you a longing look… Everyday I write the book” by Elvis Costello.

Most people know me for: Running around the hotel. I wish more people knew me for: The contents of my character. The best thing I’ve ever eaten in Toledo was: “The Godfather” Stromboli @ Calvino’s. The street I drive on/walk on most often is: Monroe. You get the full spectrum of historic neighborhoods and museums leading straight into the heart of the city.

The best time I ever had in Toledo: The best times are yet to be had… If I could change one thing about Toledo: Better conditions for the river. If I knew I could get away with it, I would: Sail around the world…that’s a childhood memory that I still have on the back burner. Watching the boats on the river from the hotel’s view is a pretty good catalyst. The best view in Toledo: The Heights! Hands Down! Panoramic city views right by the river, there’s no question about it. It’s like a different world up there! When I’m craving True Mexican fare, I go to: La Paloma Pastries on Broadway. The most authentic tasting tamales and flan cake I’ve ever had the pleasure of savoring. Nothing else will do! The artists and musicians I love: There is so much art and music that I come face to face with every day at the hotel. 1 Adam Sanzenbacher has some of his pieces permanently on display there. 2 Rick Ruiz just did some amazing renderings and paintings for a local antiques’ collector that I love. Joe Woods is playing a soundtrack in my head right now. He’ll be featured at our next hotel activation on the 23rd. I can’t wait until our location is included in the Art Loop on April 19th. It’s everything our hotel embraces.

If I could apologize to anyone: It would be: My sister, I know that she really needed me, and I wanted so badly to be there for her… My ideal day looks like, from morning to night: The metroparks at sunrise are a great excuse for me to disappear into nature. Grab some brunch @ Glass City Café, crash a workshop at Handmade Toledo and maybe meet up with some co-workers at the Tin Can after hours. What ensues after that…let the city guide you. The thing I truly need to let go of: Overanalyzing EVERYTHING! The reason I am most proud of myself right now: Is that I’ve proven my ability to be successful and land on my feet wherever the road leads. What makes me truly feel alive: Explosions of creativity/ acknowledging the signs of the universe when it speaks to me.

Three negative adjectives to describe Toledo, three positive adjectives to describe Toledo, and the adjective from that list that best describes me: Negative: Overlooked, Underappreciated and Struggling. Positive: Resilient, Unwavering, and Established. As for me….Resilient. I could be the spokesman! The Toledoan I’ve met in passing that I’d love to get coffee with: Jamie Farr. I would probably spit my coffee out! Too funny! The hardest decision I have made in the past year: was probably money related. The last time I had a serious-oh-my-godmy-stomach-hurts-now belly laugh was when: Watching Lookalikes on Netflix!

If I met the 16-year-old me, he would: Tell me not to worry so much…it clearly didn’t change or benefit the outcome of anything. You’ll never get that time back. My first kiss in Toledo was: … the one that stole my heart forever! If you could have a drink with any person or character— fictional, real, living or past— who would it be, what would you drink, and why? The perfect glass of scotch with Robert Frost.... because the workings of that man’s mind continue to inspire and amaze me. My favorite local people to follow on social media are: #Toledomatters & #Renhotels of course.

When I was in High School, I probably would have been described as: The one to watch.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In her novel *The Round House,* writer Louise Erdrich reminisces about how hard it was, earlier in her life, to yank out the trees whose roots had grown into the foundation of her family’s house. “How funny, strange, that a thing can grow so powerful even when planted in the wrong place,” she says. Then she adds, “ideas, too.” Your first assignment in the coming weeks, my dear Pisces, is to make sure that nothing gets planted in the wrong place. Your second assignment is to focus all your intelligence and love on locating the right places for new seeds to be planted. ARIES (March 21-April 19):

When you’re playing poker, a wild card refers to a card that can be used as any card the cardholder wants it to be. If the two of hearts is deemed wild before the game begins, it can be used as an ace of diamonds, jack of clubs, queen of spades, or anything else. That’s always a good thing! In the game of life, a wild card is the arrival of an unforeseen element that affects the flow of events unpredictably. It might derail your plans, or alter them in ways that are at first inconvenient but ultimately beneficial. It may even cause them to succeed in an even more interesting fashion than you imagined they could. I bring this up, Aries, because I suspect that you’ll be in the Wild Card Season during the next four weeks. Any and all of the above definitions may apply. Be alert for unusual luck.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you gorge on ten pounds of chocolate in the next 24 hours, you will get sick. Please don’t do that. Limit your intake to no more than a pound. Follow a similar policy with any other pleasurable activity. Feel emboldened to surpass your normal dosage, yes, but avoid ridiculous overindulgence. Now is one of the rare times when visionary artist William Blake’s maxim is applicable: “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.” So is his corollary, “You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough.” But keep in mind that Blake didn’t say, “The road of foolish, reckless exorbitance leads to the palace of wisdom.”gh. Be alert! GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Have

you ever had a rousing insight about an action that would improve your life, but then you failed to summon the willpower to actually take that action? Have you resolved to embark on some new behavior that would be good for you, but then found yourself unable to carry it out? Most of us have experienced these frustrations. The ancient Greeks had a word for it: *akrasia.* I bring it up, Gemini, because I suspect you may be less susceptible to *akrasia* in the next four weeks than you have ever been. I bet you will consistently have the courage and command to actually follow through on what your intuition tells you is in your best interests.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

“There is no such thing as a failed experiment,” said inventor Buckminster Fuller, “only experiments with unexpected outcomes.” That’s an excellent guideline for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks. You’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when questions are more important than answers, when explorations are more essential than discoveries, and when curiosity is more useful than knowledge. There will be minimal value in formulating a definitive concept of success and then trying to achieve it. You will have more fun and you will learn more by continually redefining success as you wander and ramble.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): During World War II, British code-breakers regularly intercepted and deciphered top-secret radio messages that highranking German soldiers sent to each other. Historians have concluded that these heroes shortened the war by at least two years. I bring this to your attention, Leo, in the hope that it will inspire you. I believe your own metaphorical codebreaking skills will be acute in the coming weeks. You’ll be able to decrypt messages that have different meanings from what they appear to mean. You won’t get fooled by deception and misdirection. This knack will enable you to home in on the elusive truths that are circulating -- thus saving you from unnecessary and irrelevant turmoil.

February 28 • March 13

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

In April 1972, three American astronauts climbed into a spacecraft and took a trip to the moon and back. On the second day of the 11-day jaunt, pilot Ken Mattingly removed and misplaced his wedding ring. In the zero-gravity conditions, it drifted off and disappeared somewhere in the cabin. Nine days later, on the way home, Mattingly and Charlie Duke did a space walk. When they opened the hatch and slipped outside, they found the wedding ring floating in the blackness of space. Duke was able to grab it and bring it in. I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will recover a lost or missing item in an equally unlikely location, Virgo. Or perhaps your retrieval will be of a more metaphorical kind: a dream, a friendship, an opportunity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to British philosopher Alain de Botton, “Maturity begins with the capacity to sense and, in good time and without defensiveness, admit to our own craziness.” He says that our humble willingness to be embarrassed by our confusion and mistakes and doubts is key to understanding ourselves. I believe these meditations will be especially useful for you in the coming weeks, Libra. They could lead you to learn and make use of robust new secrets of self-mastery. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

During the next four weeks, there are three activities I suspect you should indulge in at an elevated rate: laughter, dancing, and sex. The astrological omens suggest that these pursuits will bring you even more health benefits than usual. They will not only give your body, mind, and soul the precise exercise they need most; they will also make you smarter and kinder and wilder. Fortunately, the astrological omens also suggest that laughter, dancing, and sex will be even more easily available to you than they normally are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

The little voices in your head may have laryngitis, but they’re still spouting their cracked advice. Here’s another curiosity: You are extra-attuned to the feelings and thoughts of other people. I’m tempted to speculate that you’re at least temporarily telepathic. There’s a third factor contributing to the riot in your head: People you were close to earlier in your life are showing up to kibitz you in your nightly dreams. In response, I bid you to bark “Enough!” at all these meddlers. You have astrological permission to tell them to pipe down so you can hear yourself think.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Paleontologist Jack Horner

says that developmental biologists are halfway toward being able to create a chickenosaurus -- a creature that is genetically a blend of a chicken and a dinosaur. This project is conceivable because there’s an evolutionary link between the ancient reptile and the modern bird. Now is a favorable time for you to contemplate metaphorically similar juxtapositions and combinations, Capricorn. For the foreseeable future, you’ll have extra skill and savvy in the art of amalgamation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

“Be stubborn about your goals but flexible about your methods.” That’s the message I saw on a woman’s t-shirt today. It’s the best possible advice for you to hear right now. To further drive home the point, I’ll add a quote from productivity consultant David Allen: “Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind.” Are you willing to be loyal and true to your high standards, Aquarius, even as you improvise to uphold and fulfill them?
