Eco-friendly freebies
A car's leaky gas cap can cost the driver and the environment a high price — up to a full tank of gas every year and environmentally unfriendly vapors in our ozone. One way that locals can keep Toledo’s air clean (and their mileage efficiency up) is by replacing those gas caps. The Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) has partnered with the city’s Division of Environmental Services to provide Toledoans with free gas cap testing and replacement for their passenger vehicles. “It's one way to try to explain to people that you can make personal choices that affect the atmosphere,” says Mary Pat McCarthy, head of media relations for TMACOG. The process takes only a few minutes. For a complete list of times and locations, visit www.tmacog.org. Free. 419-241-9155. —AW
Down ‘n dirty
Do you ever feel like looking at the Maumee River from afar just isn’t enough? For Toledoans wanting to get up close and personal with the local waterway, the Toledo Area Metroparks are hosting their Field Studies for Adults class on River Monitoring on Friday, June 28. One of the metroparks’ naturalists will lead participants into the Maumee River to collect samples of the water and teach the various techniques that naturalists use to monitor rivers. Public relations director Scott Carpenter says the class is a “get your hands dirty kind of program.” Registration is required. 4-5:30pm. $3. 1025 W. River Rd. 419-407-9700. www.metroparkstoledo.com. —AW

New Feature
The blotter
It takes all kinds City Politics Rorschach By Johnny Hildo
Pulled from the pages of actual local police reports
Pastry mystery
Police have been unable to identify a suspect in a robbery that occurred at a south Toledo apartment located at 3716 Hill Ave., where the victim’s apple danishes were taken. There were no signs of forced entry at the crime scene.
Monkey business
Police are searching for an unknown suspect who stole a large stuffed monkey off the front porch of a Bowling Green residence. The monkey is approximately 5 feet by 5 feet, is missing its right arm, and according to the victim is worth $50.
Spare any change?
A suspect was charged with breaking and entering after smashing the drive-thru window at Vito’s Pizza located at 2129 N. Reynolds Rd. The suspect was able to make off with two rolls of quarters before being apprehended by police.
Where you at, homie?
Police have been unable to identify a suspect in a robbery that occurred at 2828 F St. in East Toledo. An unknown suspect allegedly entered the residence and stole four ‘Lil Homies’ action figures from the victim. The victim estimated the figurines to be worth $300-$400 dollars apiece. —Griffin Messer-Kruse

Interested in jumping into the surging waters of the cesspool that is City Politics? Wait just a skinny minnit, Buckster. First we must decide which elected office is the right fit for your twisted bad self. You see, boyz and girlz, there are several types of elected offices here in the Swamp, and each calls for a distinctive sort of personality. First things first. Check yer personality at the door. Do you enjoy constant public scrutiny, unrealistic expectations for results, but little opportunity to meet these bizarre demands? Then we have the perfect office for you! Run fer the TPS School Board! That’s right, kideez. While members of the Board are expected to make lemonade out of spoiled tomatoes, they don’t really have much authority. The real power lies in the administrators over at Manhattan and Elm, who work their tender days away attempting to make chicken salad out of the chicken guano shoveled their way by unrealistic state standards and ever diminishing resources.
Like impossible tasks?
The Board consists of folks paid a pittance to oversee the lurching behemoth from afar. But never mind all that. The public expects results! Whatever that might mean at the moment. And the Board shall be held accountable. Not the superintendent, whose responsibility includes daily oversight of the district, nor the treasurer, charged with fiscal decisions. Not the state legislature and Board of Ed, who keep moving the bar of standards and siphoning off resources and students through expanding charter schools and voucher program eligibility. Kwik kwiz. Name a single member of the state Board of Education! Better yet, name one from the Toledo area. That’s right! There isn’t one! Toledo is represented by someone named McGervey from Avon! So if you have latent masochistic tendencies, the TPS Board is the place for you! Or mebbe you prefer direct access to the levers of power, but enjoy a bit of commiserating with peers in the exercise. We have the perfect spot. Run for county commissioner! While the school board has slight oversight over an administration, the County Commission is in fact the administration of the big ol’ County! And there will be three of you, so you can bask in any glory your decisions might bring and spread around the pain of any mishaps. But never fear! You have people for that! There’s a county administrator to do the actual dirty work of daily operations, so relax. Most of your work, for which you are handsomely rewarded, consists of ceremonial appearances at senior events and ribbon cuttings. You can take credit for successes actually achieved by well-run institutions like the Toledo Zoo and the Port Authority. Be sure to distance yourself from the Board of Elections, though!
June 19 • July 03
Claim you have merely fiscal oversight, while all the bumbles and fumbles can be laid at the feet of the appointed board itself. If you like a bit more hands-on approach, there are other county offices like treasurer, auditor and recorder where you will be the sole administrative honcho. And you have people for that! Each office has an office administrator to do the heavy lifting, and lifers working behind the scene to handle daily operations. Which explains why holders of these offices tend to keep them tenaciously until they retire. So forget about ‘em. They never come available. Even worse are County offices which require specific certification, like sheriff, coroner, and engineer. Sorry we even brought those up. Forget these, too.
Megalomaniacs apply here
Which brings us to the City its own self. Have delusions of megalomania? Think yer poop smells peachy? Want the pomp as well as the circumstance, the rock star status with the big breeches to go with it? This is the year, baby! You wanna be the mayor! At least, that’s the way the office has been run by folks residing there since the advent of the strong mayor in 1993. Currently, Hizzoner Mikey P. has ended a stalemate with City Council over allocation of federal funds by cutting them out of the game completely, claiming their only role is to say “Yessir!” and further stating his role is to make them do his bidding. Forget that messy separation of powers dookey you learned in school. This is raw power, Bellbottoms style! Of course, there’s the Council side. If there’s a bit of the quisling in you, you might fit into Council like Adam Martinez, playing the Yes Man to Hizzoner. Or if you like to tilt at windmills, you could play that role on Council like D. Mike Collins, fretting and blustering but getting little accomplished. If you like to work around the margins on stuff like Public Utilities, like Joe Mac, or Parks and Rec, like Lindsay Webb and Steven Steel, or simply fly under the radar, like Rob “Who?”deman, you might fit on Council. But if you want to do more than just know the man, if you want to Be The Man, it’s mayor-time! Of course, you could run for mayor with a goal of working hard through differences with Council in an attempt to craft meaningful legislation through the difficult process of compromise in the democratic spirit. Jk, lol! Run roughshod, baby!

What’s your ideal partner like?
They have to be chivalrous. I’m a very independent girl, but I like when they still have that old-time chivalry.
What’s your ideal partner like?
Obviously an attractive person, but attractive-ness is not just a superficial thing. This person needs to really have some passion. Passion is cool. When somebody’s really excited about something, then all the pressure’s off of you — they have their own passion, you have yours, and then you meet in the middle and talk about it.
What’s the sweetest thing someone’s ever done to woo you? One guy knew I was really into unique jewelry, so he got me custom made earrings. That was a very cool gesture. It goes along with someone being intuitive and listening to your likes and dislikes.
What should a relationship be like, in your opinion? Khalil Gibran said something
What’s your ideal relationship?
along the lines of being separate but working together, like two pillars holding up the same building. It is easy to lose yourself in a relationship. I’ve been there before.
I love dry humor, and my ideal person would probably be Larry David or Jerry Seinfeld. And someone who’s able to have fun with the free things in life, like going to the park or doing outdoor sporting activities.
What could a girl do that Would really impress you? I’m a sucker for Seinfeld and Bill Mur-
ray. If she’s obsessed with Seinfeld and quoting Bill Murray, and can recite the entire movie Jaws verbatim, I’d die happy. I’d know it was meant to be.

What kind of person would you want to date? I don’t want to “settle down” — I want a partner in crime.
Describe yourself in three words. I’d say laid
You’re a musician. What’s your favorite love song? There’s one called
back, fun, and outgoing.
What’s your dating deal-breaker? I don’t like
So Nice by Wanda De Sah. Whenever I hear it, I’m like, that would be really great. It’s what my idea of love is.
clingy. I’m very against that, because I consider myself very independent.
What could someone do to impress you?
Do you believe in the one?
Someone’s who’s going to text me sweet things morning ‘til night isn’t my cup of tea. I like intelligent conversations rather than just sweet talk the whole time. I’d rather have a conversation that helps me get to know someone rather than a lot of “you’re beautiful.”
I definitely believe in twin flames. Certain people, the energies are drawn together, and when they find each other it’s undeniable. But I don’t think that there’s only one person like that for everyone — there’s definitely at least five. Or six.
What’s something people would be surprised to know about you? Despite how girly I am, I actually really enjoy fishing and shooting guns.

Is there an aphrodisiac of cupcake flavors? I think with guys, the
me know what we’re going to do. Sometimes I like to be surprised. I like being the leader, but I want someone who can lead, too.
Guinness Black and Tan always works. They like knowing that there’s beer in the cake.
What’s your ideal partner like?
Definitely God-fearing. Very selfsufficient. I like movers and shakers, I like people that are doing things. And it’s not about whether they’re succeeding or not — I like somebody that’s willing to take risks even if he fails.

Has an open heart, a down-toearth personality. I think those are the things that are most important to me.
How would you describe your game?
How important are looks? Number
I would probably just not. [Laughs] Be nice and make jokes? I think that’s how I’ve been able to meet people. There isn’t, like, a game. If I have a game, it’s just be a decent person.

What’s something people would be surprised to know about you?
a woman is the thing that makes me bat my eye. Being pursued is cool for a time because it strokes your ego, but me being that oldschool, traditional kind of guy, I like the chase. That keeps it interesting to me.

What’s your claim to fame? I’m five ten and a half. If I’m in heels I’m over six feet. I call myself a walking conversation piece. What’s a dating deal-breaker for you?
The biggest one would be infidelity. And someone that’s too show-y, too arrogant, too fake.
What’s your ideal relationship like?
Someone that gives me my space, that has their own life going on, someone that’s really independent. Someone who likes to have fun with me — travel, go for a bike ride, go for a walk. He has to know how to live well.
What relationship wisdom would you give to others? If you know your-
self, you have a lot easier time choosing the right person.
Who’s your celebrity crush?
So MacQueen — any association with the Holland apple orchard? When I meet a cli-
ent the first thing they ask is ‘Are you the apple guy?’ I enjoy helping out [at the MacQueen apple orchard] on the weekends, especially in the fall when the whole family’s there. But I enjoy doing my own thing and establishing myself, too.
Did that ever help your game, being the apple guy? I just thought that was my charm, but
it may have been!
What’s your relationship approach? I’m pret-
ty easy and open. Trust is a huge thing for me. If we can establish a mutual level of trust, it’s going to be very easy and fun.
Where do you see yourself in ten years? Pro-
fessionally, I see myself continuing to grow my own business, and personally, I hope to have a wife and kids and a house built on the MacQueen property somewhere.

Jacky's Depot’s Fresh Pops — organic, homemade, all-natural popsicles with "nothing funky" in the ingredient list, according to sales associate Liz Hall — are popular for their unusual flavor pairings.

Playing the Market
Local filmmakers think outside the box to fund their dream project By Joseph Schafer Brady Kesling, an EMT and boudoir photographer, wants to direct a feature film. High hopes, but they make sense: Kesling's held many other jobs. "I've been a limo driver, a magic store clerk, so many different things, but the one thing that's always held my attention is filmmaking." His skill as a photographer and his experience entertaining through magic give him some of the required skills. With some help from Toledo and the internet, he can get his movie, Market Correction, made. So how to make a movie? Step one, secure a script; Kesling has one, courtesy of Ann Arbor crime author Jonathan Watkins, who has written a critically acclaimed series of murder mystery ebooks entitled Bright and Fletcher, about two crime-solving public defenders. Watkins is used to writing heroes, but the main characters of Market Correction have a more nefarious line of work. The plot to Market Correction roughly goes as follows: in the near future, super-corporations (think Enron or Monsanto) protect their profit margins by hiring assassins to kill young innovators before they can become threats. "If they see anything that might be a threat twenty years down the line, they strangle it in the crib," Watkins said. One assassin grows a conscience when his firm starts stopping people's hearts with satellites instead of killing the old fashioned way. "It's not science fiction in the sense of people running around in shiny jumpsuits," Watkins assures. In the light of recent developments, like drone strike technology, and government-led wire-tapping, Market Correction’s conceit sounds all-too plausible. "It's timely, but the characters really draw you into the story," Kesling said about the script.
18
Step two: Establish a budget. "I knew Brady wanted to make a film and I've always wanted to do a screenplay, so I made something to be as low-budget as possible," Watkins said. That budget is $100 thousand, chump change by Hollywood standards. To achieve their budgetary goal, Kesling and Watkins turned to Kickstarter, a website where project hopefuls can solicit internet users to pledge funding to pay for creative endeavors, such as films or inventions. If the Kickstarter goal is met, the pledged funds are charged to the individual web contributors, Kickstarter takes a fee, and the balance goes to the project. If the goal is not met, no charges are made. Kickstarter projects offer creative rewards in exchange for the pledges. The most interesting reward for contributing to Market Correction? Being assassinated on screen in the final cut of the film. “I think the internet and crowd-sourcing lets people who would otherwise never succeed in the industry find success,” Watkins said. Kickstarter is a double-edged sword. The website imposes time limits, and Kesling's is running out— Market Correction’s fundraising period ends Saturday, June 29, and he has a ways to go to meet the goal. Kickstarter also comes with a stigma. Recently, celebrities—people who have the means and connections to make their own projects by raising money the old fashioned way—have taken the website by storm and roused controversy. This April, Zach Braff, who starred in the television series Scrubs and directed the movie Garden State, raised millions through Kickstarter, even though he's a successful director in his own right. Which raises the question: does he really need to be using
June 19 • July 03
Kickstarter while Watkins and Kesling struggle? Some people might call Kickstarter a platform for organized begging. "If you can afford that ethical stance more power to you,” said Kesling. “All forms of art relied upon patrons, even Michelangelo." Independent filmmaking frees Kesling and Watkins from studios having power over their films. "In the end I would rather be beholden to fans of film than to the Hollywood establishment," Kesling said. They would also rather be beholden to the people of Toledo: Kesling plans to shoot here, with a local cast and crew—the teaser trailer, visible on their Kickstarter page, was shot close to Manhattan's on Adams Street. "People aren't used to seeing a movie shot in Toledo, which makes it exciting," Kesling said. More practically, Watkins explained, “There is an untapped group of people here involved in theater and the arts who could very easily make the transition to film."

Film for Fridae
The Toledo Museum of Art has been showing a series of Australian films—tying in with the Crossing Cultures exhibit of contemporary, indigenous Australian art—and those films have been pretty dark. Bran Nue Dae, however, is quite the opposite. A comedy adapted from a 1990 stage musical, the film follows the story of Willie, who runs away from the seminary in Perth, Australia. The film tells the story of his misadventures on the road back to his home in Broome. It's a long ride through the Australian outback, only made possible with the help of two hippies and a host of comic nut jobs. Friday, June 21, Free. 7:30pm. The Toledo Museum of Art, The Little Theater. 2445 Monroe St. 419-255-8000. www.toledomuseum.org
Pole Position
There is nothing more American than fast cars, best friendship, and betrayal. Grand Prix, part of the Valentine Theatre's Silver Screen Classics Series, has all of three in spades. In the film, an American Grand Prix driver (James Garner) injures his British teammate (Brian Bedford) in a car crash, and then dates that teammate's wife (Jessica Walter) while he's in the hospital. Grand Prix has all that, plus some amazing race cinematography, with actual F1 racing footage spliced in. The races were partially filmed by longtime Hitchcock collaborator Saul Bass, and the film was directed by John Frankenheimer. To celebrate the film, The Valentine will host a classic car show in the theatre's outdoor plaza. Friday, June 28, $5. 7:30pm.

"The Day I Saw Your Heart": There is nothing metaphorical about the title of this charming French movie - that's all I'll say. Eli is a 60-year-old man about to have his third child. His other two eccentric daughters don't take the news too well. Justine (played by the beautiful Mélanie Laurent) is the trouble child that Eli tries to get close to by making friends with all of her exes... without her knowledge. She also makes art by x-raying all kinds of disparate objects. Strange? Yeah, almost Jeunet-esque, but it all works wonderfully.—SJA

With tongue planted firmly in cheek, The Intergalactic Nemesis skewers and then lightly roasts pulp serials, science fiction classics and adventure stories into a post-modern kabob of pop culture tropes.

"The Orphan Master's Son" Adam Johnson: Never
thought a book dealing with North Korean politics and (lack of) culture would be of interest to me, but this Pulitzer prize winning novel is incredibly intriguing. The first third of the book deals with Pak Jun Do, who is the orphan master's son and works for the military, but then abruptly "drops" from the storyline... or does he? It's a fascinating story of horrible prison camps, a forgotten movie star and the man who loves her as well as a pair of female American rowers, who row in the nude. It's the human element that keeps Johnson's novel all together—in spite of Kim Jong Il’s satanic presence throughout.—SJA

Memorial glass, like these Glass Whispers pieces, incorporates cremated remains
Glass memories
Inside the growing trend of artistic, alternative memorials By Russell Axon When it comes to death, no two cultures mourn the same way—Egyptian pharaohs were ceremoniously mummified, Vikings would set warrior boats on fire, Buddhist monks let nature reclaim the mortal vessel, among others. Here in the Glass City, a handful of local glass artists create memorial glass pieces which incorporate the cremated remains, or cremains, of deceased loved ones. Matthew Paskiet, owner and artist of Firenation Glass Studio and Gallery, offers the service and makes a few pieces each month. "It’s a fun way to incorporate an ancient form of glass with a modern twist and sentimental value," he says. When making a memorial glass piece, a client will first help an artist select the colors and design. The pieces are created like normal glass works except a sparse amount of cremains are added before the marvering process, when the glass is shaped and colored. It is then cooled over a 24-hour period. If successful, the ashes turn a brilliant white that can be visually striking. The creative process can be an emotional experience for the artist. Gretchen Schroeder, artist at Glass Whispers, which specializes in memorial glass, says a prayer before starting a piece and treats the ashes very reverently. “The fact that you’re making something that people can then revere and feel connected to their loved one, that just makes me feel so good,” she says. Rich Schroeder, Glass Whispers business manager and Gretchen’s husband, fondly remembers the first time he saw the memorial glass with
www.toledocitypaper.com
his mother’s cremains. “We held it up to a window, and the ashes actually had facets and they would sparkle back. It was gorgeous.” Paskiet says he is humbled and honored every time he’s asked to create a piece. “It’s a solemn thing when I’m doing it. I’ll get quiet and I’ll think respectfully of the people.” There are several challenges in creating memorial glass, with the most obvious being the offbeat nature of the piece. “People think it’s either cool or it’s creepy,” Gretchen says, adding that simply approaching people can be difficult. “Marketing has been a challenge to a certain extent because it is sort of an after-market thing and how do you reach that audience?” Rich understands the stigma but thinks it shouldn’t apply. “You’re doing something artistic. I don’t think they should put any caveats on artwork.” “It’s not for everybody, it can be really tough for some people to think about something like that; it goes against their grain,” Paskiet says. “But other people are really comforted by it and enjoy the presence.” Additionally, the same obstacles inherent in regular glass-making—cracks, creases, misshapen forms, etc.—are still present with memorial glass. For most people, though, any challenges or cultural aversions are outweighed by the individual value and meaning a memorial glass holds for someone. “It kind of frees the spirit in a way,” Rich says.

Secondhand charm
Resale shopping, whether for clothing or furniture can be fun but beware of pitfalls! Here are our top tips for shopping secondhand.
Tip No. I Try before you buy! Especially with twopiece items like suits. While you can always get things hemmed, you can’t change the fact that the jacket may be bigger than the pants or vice versa.
Tip No. 2 Consignment shops are filled with styles from every decade, from fifties funk to contemporary. Use these items as focal pieces in changing your entire look or choose one inspiring piece to update a tired style. Look for color to set a theme in throw pillows, lamps or an accent table. Match it with spray paint to tie in pieces you already own.
Tip No. 3 They don’t make stuff like they used to! Whether you’re a collector or you purchase a piece to compliment your decor — make sure you have a suitable plan. If you plan to restore the piece to its original condition, check that all of the original hardware is intact. Some items such as drawer pulls and accents wont be available at the corner hardware store. If refinishing an item, be sure you know what it takes to do it properly. Often a project can get bigger than you thought and end up a mouse house in your garage.

Citizen can
Young Toledo punks get Warped [Tour] by Griffin Messer-Kruse Toledo born-and-based punk rockers of the band Citizen are on the rise. Despite the fact that their youngest member is just 19 and their oldest 25, Citizen has managed to record both a full-length album and tour the United States coast to coast three times since the band's inception in 2010. Things are looking up for the young rockers with a new album on the way, a contract with Boston's Run for Cover Records, as well as a coveted spot on this summer's Vans Warped Tour, the sine-qua-non of major punk showcases. Citizen's music sounds like a combination of Brand New and Nirvana, melding introspective lyrics and catchy melodies with distorted hard rock guitar and raw energy. We chatted with guitarist Nick Hamm about the upcoming record, how the band signed on for the Warped Tour, and the inspiration for their lyrics.
Your new album ‘Youth’ dropped on June 11th. Tell me about the recording process—where did you record? We recorded it at Studio 4 in Philadelphia with a guy named Will Yip. We actually did a record with him a year before we recorded this one, and we loved it, so we decided to go back for a full length. What topics does ‘Youth’ touch on lyrically? Where do you draw inspiration for your lyrics? Matt, our singer, he had a pretty interesting year. There was a lot of transition, and I think the whole record touches on that. I think it’s a coming-of-age record — the shit you go through growing up. My friend described the lyrics as telling a story, which I thought was interesting. From an [outside perspective], he said if you listened to the lyrics it draws out a story as the album progresses. This summer, Citizen will be joining a slew of other bands on the Vans Warped Tour. Is this the first time Citizen will be doing a coast-tocoast tour?

We have done three full US tours, but this is the first time we have done anything the size of Warped Tour. We don’t really know what to expect, but I almost like that better because every other tour we’ve done we kind of know going into it how many people are going to be at each show. And there are going to be thousands of people [at Warped Tour] everyday.
Yeah, it is definitely a great way for you guys to get exposed to new potential fans. How did you initially get on the Vans Warped Tour lineup? Last summer we got a call from our current manager, Evangelia Livanos. She wanted to meet up and talk to us. So we drove to New York to meet with her, and she definitely helped a lot in pushing our band to be more professional and that played into getting on Warped Tour. About six months ago she called me and told me we got the offer to be on all of Warped Tour. It’s pretty crazy—we are the only band on our label to be on the tour. What bands are you most excited to share the stage with during Warped Tour? Are any of your big influences playing the festival? Man Overboard, Tonight Alive, and The American Scene are all playing, which is cool because we just got off tour with all those bands. It will be great to meet back up with them. I am also excited to see Billy Talent because when I was younger I always heard them on the radio; it is really cool to be on the same bill as them. What are the plans for the band following summer tour? As of now there is nothing set in stone, but we will definitely be touring off of the new album and there will definitely be a record release show in Toledo.

Toledo symphony orchestra 577 Foundation / Sunday, June 23 The Toledo Symphony is partnering with the Black Swamp Conservancy in 2013 & 2014 to combine chamber music with the remarkable natural settings of northwest Ohio.

The 577 Foundation is a 12-acre property located on the banks of the stunning Maumee River and has special significance to the area, as it was the first parcel of land to be designated for conservation easement by the Black Swamp Conservancy.

The members of Columbus, Ohio jamband 'Ekoostik Hookah' are veterans of the road — since forming in 2001 the band has undergone multiple line-up changes, started a hugely successful music festival with their annual 'Hookahville' in Thornville, Ohio, and even thrown a multi-day concert down in Jamaica. They return to Toledo on Saturday, June 29 for a long night of improv jams at Headliners with their annual free concert. Ekoostik Hookah can be described as one part Allman Brothers, one part Grateful Dead and one part Black Sabbath — in-between their folk-tinged Appalachian songs are funky hard rock interludes led by the virtuoso shredding of lead guitarist Steve Sweeney. Sponsored by Edward 'Wild Bill' Kleppinger, the owner of local headshop 632 Main St., the show will feature two full sets of Ekoostik Hookah's 'Ohio-grown' music. Free. 9pm.

Va m p i re Weekend "Modern Vampires of the City": The
third effort from this New York quartet establishes them as a band that is in for the long haul. It's very hard these days to come up with a truly original sound (without being too eclectic) but they succeed handsomely. "Modern ..." is different from the last CD, and that one was different from its predecessor, yet all three discs are unmistakably Vampire Weekend. The melodies are the mainstay, and that is the strength of this band. "Diane Young" is an irresistibly hummable tune, one of the best on this disc. I look forward to hearing this band for a long time coming.—SJA

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are ready for a weekend trip on the 21st. Prepare for mass confusion when Mercury retrogrades on the 26th. Beginning the 27th, your social calendar is full (again) and your luck is fantastic. You are in demand for the 4th.

What a busy time in the heavens! The sun and Jupiter enter the sign of Cancer; there is a full moon; Venus enters the fun-loving sign of Leo (that’s the good stuff) BUT Mercury goes retrograde on the 26th. Check your sign below QUICKLY. — BY SUE LOVETT
LIBRA (September 23-October 22) The
longest day of the year, the 21st, highlights your career and reputation. Mix business with pleasure and success is yours. There are parties and festivals the 22nd and 23rd. Thanks to Venus, every day gets better.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are invited
SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) By the 20th you have a realistic goal and then you can rest easily. Drive carefully as the full moon shines the 23rd. Big Brother is watching you. Beginning the 25th you have more expansive ideas. You’re such a firecracker!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) An out-of-town
SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) On the 21st you are in the spotlight, thanks
to a Summer Solstice party on the 21st. The full moon the 23rd is lucky for you. Try to firm up your 4th of July plans before the 26th. There may be some home repairs needed the 29th and 30th. Sorry about that!
wedding or party the 22nd or 23rd is expensive, but well worth the money. Mercury retrogrades the 26th and that may slow you down. Work on your 4th of July plans, but get everything confirmed and in writing.
to the moon. There are multiple events requiring your presence. On the 25th, Jupiter moves into the home loving sign of Cancer. You are less a wanderer.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Happy birthday to you the 21st. Enjoy the longest day of the year. The full moon the 23rd says you need some rest. Jupiter moves in the 25th to restore your energy. Mercury retrogrades the 26th, so confusion reigns day and night.
CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19)
LEO (July 23-August 22) The summer solstice the 21st makes you appreciate the good times on your schedule. The full moon the 23rd says you should slow down because another holiday is soon. Venus moves into your sign the 27th and it is like a good luck charm.
AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) Work comes in on the 21st — some for charity and some professional. Put your feet up on the 23rd. Your physical health improves on the 25th. Use some self-control at the parties. Slow down, like Mercury does, the 26th.
VIRGO (August 23-September 22) On the 21st you begin to get requests to help on community affairs or political races. Wear your T-shirt to the festivals. Schedule plans early because when Mercury retrogrades the 26th, the stuff may hit the fan.
PISCES (February 19-March 20) You may be a winner if you take a chance the 21st. Watch your driving the 23rd. On the 25th, you think only of fun and games. After the 26th check your calendar to avoid mix-ups personally and professionally.
The summer solstice on the 21st is the longest day of the year so you can stay out later! The full moon the 25th shines directly on you. Your partner tries to take charge of you after the 28th. Fat chance!

CELEBRITY CANCERIANS
The sign of Cancer is ruled by the moon. It takes the moon about 28 days to move around the earth. This is why Cancers tend to be moody, BUT the moods only last two or two and a half days. They are family-oriented and patriotic. Examples are Supreme Court Judges Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayer. Locally Councilman Mike Collins and news anchor Jenna Lee of Channel 11 celebrate.

Interview by Alia Orra
Brooke Adams, hair colorist/makeup
Pedestrian art
artist, Perrysburg
Brooke Adams, a Toledoan-turned-New Yorkerturned-Toledoan, brings a big city aesthetic to her style. We stopped the local beauty expert to find out what inspires her look.
Thursday night Art Walks kicked off on June 13. Downtown galleries and other spaces opened their doors for the evening to showcase Toledo’s vibrant art scene.
What inspired the Gatsby-esque look?
I actually just saw the Gatsby movie and the clothes are so beautiful. After I saw the movie, I realized the only thing I loved about it was the clothes. The dress I wore that evening was really special to me. The designer who created it gave it to me as a gift.
Professional photographers Penny Gentieu and her daughter Anna Friemoth. Anna’s self portraits are on exhibit at the Paula Brown Gallery.

Chefs Erika Rapp of Registry Bistro and Rob Campbell of Revolution Grille celebrated the one-year anniversaries of their respective ventures the weekend of June 14. The past 12 months have brought positive reviews for both spots and are helping inspire a local influx of chef-driven restaurants.
Philip and Betsy Barone of Rosie’s Italian Grille
As long as I can remember I never wanted to wear the same clothing as anybody else. My mom would drive me up to Detroit to go to other stores, and she always supported me in being able to look different. I was always teased a lot about my clothing. I worshipped every Vogue magazine that came in the mail.
What are your influences?
I kind of stay toward the '60s and '70s, I have more pairs of bell bottoms than anyone should ever own.
And you lived in New York. How long were you there?
Celebrating one year
Erika and Vicky Rapp of Registry Bistro
How did growing up in Toledo as a fashionista impact you?
I lived in San Francisco for three years and then I moved to New York for three years. San Francisco was my starter city so when I got to New York I wasn't fresh off the farm. The thing is, you can wear whatever the hell you want without getting weird looks in big cities, which is pretty liberating. I still do that here, but I definitely get more looks.
