What is the best self-improvement tip you’ve ever heard?

Get outside your comfort zone— that’s where the magic happens.

What self-improvement tip do you wish you learned sooner?

The most attractive thing you can wear is CONFIDENCE!

What does success mean to you?

Being able to do great work that you are passionate about and make a living doing it. It hardly feels like work!

What brings you genuine joy?

A teary-eyed smile from a grateful patient.

What brings you genuine joy?

At ProHealth Partners we have built a diverse and knowledgeable team that prides themselves on meeting the rehabilitation needs of our patients. There is no better feeling than when a patient calls me to tell me what a great job that one of our therapists have done and how it has helped them regain their independence.

What is the best self-improvement tip you’ve ever heard?

Knowledge is power! This is one of my favorite sayings and one of the reasons that I have enjoyed my career at ProHealth. You need to find time for yourself to learn something new or progress your understanding of areas that interest you. ProHealth has allowed me to grow in my career by allowing me many opportunities to increase my knowledge.

What’s one thing that always makes you feel better?

Exercise! Being a Physical Therapist no matter how tired I am or how down I am feeling getting out and taking a walk with my family always puts me in a better mood.

What’s your favorite local luxury?

All the local parks! Doing home health you spend a lot of time in your car. I encourage our staff and our patients to get out and take a walk during the day around the parks if they are able to. The more active you can stay the better you feel.

What’s the first thing you do when you feel overwhelmed?

I try to keep organized and focused with a to-do list.

It is very satisfying to check things off and feel like I’m accomplishing things.

What self-improvement tip do you wish you learned sooner?

Life is not personal— we have complete reign over our minds and emotion. This is empowering and encouraging and it changed me.

What’s one thing that always makes you feel better?

My family.

Dr. Laurence Baibak How does looking good relate to feeling good?

The two concepts have a reciprocal relationship: If you can make your outsides match the way you feel on the inside, there is a harmony or homeostasis achieved between your physical self and your emotional self. Achieving harmony always looks and feels good!

What is the best self-improvement tip you’ve ever heard?

A smile is the most attractive thing anyone can wear.

It can instantly improve your appearance and your mood.

POLITICS The wages of apathy

The power of the non-voter

By Johnny Hildo They’re out there. They come cloaked as normal American citizens, going about their daily routines as if they give two shucky darns.

They’ll even deny their true colors if asked.

Unfortunately, there are more of them than there are of us.

They stifle progress through subterfuge, pretending to support such things as universal health care, compassionate immigration policy, sensible gun control, abortion access and choice, etc., etc., etc. Yet all the while, they undermine the very things they claim to stand for.

Locally, they claim to care about community relations, protecting the lake, and meaningful criminal justice reform. They often proclaim these things loudly and on street corners. But when it comes time to make a difference, they scuttle back into the shadows and refuse to take a stand.

They are the loud, proud majority. The non-voters. By their apathy, they speak by not speaking and instead allowing others to speak in disproportionate numbers. Policies are decided by their stepping aside.

Are you one of them?

Excuses, excuses The numbers are staggering. In the twenty sixteen general election, nearly one hundred thirty million eligible voters voted in the presidential race. Over one hundred million didn’t vote at all.

The outcome was decided by a mere eighty thousand or so votes spread over three states. We are in the national pickle barrel because of the nonvoter.

It’s a generational problem. Well over half of eligible voters under thirty-five don’t vote, and most of those who do, vote only occasionally, typically in presidential elections, not mid-terms like those this year. In contrast, a vast majority of senior citi-

In the twenty sixteen general election, nearly one hundred thirty million eligible voters voted in the presidential race.

However, over one hundred million didn't vote at all. zens vote every single election, skewing policies their way. Any wonder affordable, or free, college education isn’t a priority? Or why the members of the US Congress are very old, very male, and very white, just like the average American voter?

We hear lots of excuses from non-voters. “No one represents my interest” is a big one. This logic strand has two basic flaws. First is the problem above. Until young people start voting in large numbers, their interests are less likely to be reflected in the policies of candidates. Start to vote and watch it turn around.

The second flaw is the problem of piety. Of course no single candidate is going to perfectly align with every single thing you believe. Change is incremental in a democracy, and you must choose the candidate who is most likely to support your basic principles while in office. Get over yourself, no one likes a pious political evangelist, and vote!

The other excuse that really chaps our arse is, “my vote won’t make a difference.” Locally there have been at least two races for Toledo City Council in the last few years that were decided by less than ten votes, so that excuse can go pound sand. But that’s not why it grinds our gears.

The more immediate retort is, if you don’t think your vote matters, your non-vote will darned well make a big difference. Care about the Lake? Elect others who will make the difficult decisions to protect it. Want a police force that reflects the community? Elect those who agree with you and have a concrete plan to make it happen. Or don’t vote, and let others choose candidates who reflect their interests. See how that works for ya.

October 24 • November 6

Vote. Then hold those who are elected accountable for the policies they enact, and for those they fail to enact.

But it all starts with action, not inaction. Vote!

Make a plan, Stan All excuses aside, it’s time to turn the tables on the voter rolls. If young people would take the initiative and vote in numbers commensurate with their population, real progress could be made. But if you sit on your hands, whine and moan about the direction of the city, region, state and country, you’re nothing but a darned fool.

And worse, a hypocrite. You say you want a revolution?

Get off your duff and get thee to the polls!

Make a pledge to participate in the democracy we all say we cherish. Then make a plan for voting. The Early Vote Center at Monroe and Thirteenth downtown is open daily 8 am ‘til 5 pm through October 26, then 8 to 7 October 29 through November 2. It’s also open 8 to 4 on Saturday October 27 and Saturday November 3, 1 to 5 pm on Sunday November 4, and 8 to 2 on November 5.

You can do the old fashioned thing and show up at your designated polling place between 6:30 am and 7:30 pm on Election Day. Any questions, call the Board of Elections. Or you can do the new fashioned thing and forget all about it, stay away and let the old folks make the decisions for you.

Naw, don’t do that, you silly bird. Make a mark on your community.

By mail or in person, by early vote or on Election Day, be the change.

JUDGING THE JUDGES The Toledo Bar Association, a local organization that assists legal professionals in serving the profession and the community. The TBA sends a survey to its members to assess local legal professionals' opinions regarding judicial candidates. The poll concerning the upcoming election elicited responses from about 400 of the Association's approximately 1400 members, an estimated 29% response rate.

Although there are 8 judicial races on the November 2018 ballot in Lucas County, only two are contested.

The race for the Sixth District Court of Appeals, which covers eight counties, pits sitting Judge Gene Zmuda of the Lucas County Common Pleas Court against Joel Kuhlman, a former County Commissioner and City Councilperson from Erie County. The poll results are as follows:

Sixth District Court of Appeals

Highly recommended

Recommended

Not recommended

Joel M. Kuhlman

22.6%

36.8%

40.6%

Gene A. Zmuda

65.6%

26.8%

7.6%

More interesting is the almost equal polling in the survey of the two candidates for the Lucas County Common Pleas Court bench: Joseph McNamara is a former Toledo City Councilman and the son of late Lucas County Auditor Dan McNamara. His opponent, Joshua Lanzinger is a sitting judge in Toledo Municipal Court, and the son of well known and long time public servant, previous Toledo Municipal Court, Lucas County Common Pleas Court, Sixth District Court of Appeals and Ohio Supreme Court jurist Judy Lanzinger.

The TBA poll is a virtual dead heat, with responding lawyers recommending the two candidates with almost mirror-like exactness. The poll results are as follows:

Lucas County Common Pleas Court

Highly recommended

Recommended

Not recommended

Joshua W. Lanzinger

29.1%

38.9%

31.9%

Joseph V. McNamara

33.1%

40.7%

26.2%

Hope that helps you decide who to vote for, folks. That's what you get when seeking the recommendations of a group of lawyers.

ISSUE 1

Ohio Issue 1, Drug and Criminal Justice Policies Initiative (2018)

How To Volunteer for Progressive Campaigns

This election season, give your angry (and probably racist) uncle another reason to hate you by volunteering to assist in getting out the vote

By Sonny Forrest “Issue 1 Proposed Constitutional Amendment Proposed by Initiative Petition To add a new Section 12 to Article XV of the Constitution of the State of Ohio A majority yes vote is necessary for the amendment to pass.

Issue 1 on the ballot is a statewide issue that addresses how the State of Ohio should deal with drug possession charges. With the rampant use of drugs and the deadly effects of opioids a real and consistent societal concern, we think it is time to address how the justice system is equipped to handle this phenomenon. Incarceration for offenders who are addicts and who possess drugs has proven to be ineffective and short sighted. How can the cycle be broken, if it can be broken, is the dilemma we face as a community.

Issue 1 proposes a constitutional amendment that would change the treatment of those accused of drug possession. While opponents have railed against the possibility that even those defendants charged with large quantities, those alleged to be trafficking in drugs, could avoid harsh felony punishment with this amendment becoming law, the reality is that prosecutors will maintain discretion in how to charge defendants. Those with higher quantities will still be chargeable with felony crimes.

Other knocks against how Issue 1, if passed, would affect our communities is that it could create an unfunded mandate for treatment for addicts, thereby placing undue burden on, especially, smaller communities. The reality is that there is a major problem with drug addiction across our country, but particularly in the midwest, and the methods now being employed to deal with it are simply insufficient and ineffective.

A different approach needs to be implemented and, while Issue 1 certainly has some drawbacks, it goes a long way to identify and address the problems.

Another complaint against the passage of Issue 1 is that it comes in the form of a constitutional amendment, a rigid and not easily modified way to effect change and to address issues which are present now but whose complexion and appearance will likely change in the future. Again, while Issue 1 has drawbacks, it is a citizens’ initiative which attempts to address a genuine and pressing problem. The legislature has failed to address it, and the time has passed for waiting.

As always, there are critics on both sides. The esteemed Ohio State Bar Association opposes the measure citing the funding concerns for treatment that passage would mandate as well as the inequitable effect on smaller communities in terms of dollars to provide that treatment. Members of the judiciary have taken to speaking out against the passage of Issue 1 publically, a move rarely seen of an elected judicial official going on the record to discuss a substantive legal issue that could and will likely appear before them for decision making in the future.

Other opponents of the measure point to out of state monies used to support the collection of signatures to place Issue 1 on the ballot. Where ever the support came from, the signatures of Ohioans placed this Issue before the voters. It is time that this serious issue is addressed and that the law reflect the reality of the situation.

While Issue 1 is far from perfect, it is a step in the right direction.

www.toledocitypaper.com

If adopted, the amendment would: •

Require sentence reductions of incarcerated individuals, except individuals incarcerated for murder, rape, or child molestation, by up to 25% if the individual participates in rehabilitative, work, or educational programming.

•

Mandate that criminal offenses of obtaining, possessing, or using any drug such as fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, and other controlled substances cannot be classified as a felony, but only a misdemeanor.

•

Prohibit jail time as a sentence for obtaining, possessing, or using such drugs until an individual’s third offense within 24 months.

•

Allow an individual convicted of obtaining, possessing, or using any such drug prior to the effective date of the amendment to ask a court to reduce the conviction to a misdemeanor, regardless of whether the individual has completed the sentence.

•

Require any available funding, based on projected savings, to be applied to state-administered rehabilitation programs and crime victim funds.

•

Require a graduated series of responses, such as community service, drug treatment, or jail time, for minor, non-criminal probation violations”

Sick of hearing about toddlers locked in detention camps and rapey judges with drinking problems? As Election Day completes its shift from distant abstraction to an approaching reality, now just over three weeks away, this midterm election season’s final weeks are its most crucial.

Unless you already have enough money to avoid paying attention to the news altogether, the party currently in power is having its way with you, sideways, economically speaking. The mostly white guys who are complaining about people unfairly receiving entitlements, it seems, don’t want the people they’re complaining about voting.

Want to volunteer to inspire people to vote in this year’s midterm elections, but aren’t sure where to start? Refer to this quasi-comprehensive guide, outlining exactly how you can volunteer and get out the vote for progressive candidates.

Phone Banks Phone banks let you hit the lines of registered voters across Northwest Ohio, providing another crucial touch point (albeit auditory) for campaigns looking to make headway in advance of election day. Campaign for Ohio (ohiodems.org) lists phone banks reaching registered voters in Toledo, North Toledo, South Toledo, Sylvania and Maumee.

Volunteer with Campaigns Across the Country Tech For Campaigns connects talented creative professionals, programmers, and marketers with progressive-leaning campaigns across the country in need of some volunteer tech muscle. Visit techforcampaigns.org for more info.

Attend Campaign Rallies A great campaign rally feels like a compelling concert or sporting event. Empathize, in person, with fellow fans of the candidate the way you might over a team (conversation-enhancing substances optional). The best rallies lend attendees a sense of communicable optimism and urgency that usually plays well among loved ones. Find local events at ohiodems.org Donate to Competitive Campaigns Donating your dollars to campaigns may seem trivial, but think of it as pouring extra gas on an already-raging fire. It’s important that the fire continues to swell through election day so even small drops of fuel (i.e. dollar amounts like, even $10) help sustain and bolster the fire. Donating is also absurdly simple; just visit ActBlue (secure.actblue.com) and you’ll have access to all the competitive progressive-leaning campaigns in America.

Vote Early Though most would-be voters’ minds have long been settled on particular parties and candidates, even for registered voters, not everyone can find the time to vote on actual election day, November 6. Luckily, the Lucas County Board of Elections has an Early Voting location in Toledo at 1301 Monroe St. Carve out around 20 minutes and cast your ballot, on your time, ahead of time.

If you’ve read this far, the day after the 2016 election probably tasted like shame; we could’ve done more to avoid our politcally maligned reality.

Feel better knowing you can volunteer some good ’ole elbow grease this time around. In addition to actually voting, sign up to help elect progressive candidates at democrats.org. Don’t @ me.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER This race will determine who will replace Carol Contrada and join Commissioners Pete Gerken and Tina Skeldon Wozniak.

Toledo City Paper posed questions to the two remaining candidates— Sandy Spang, an Independent, and Gary Byers, the endorsed Democrat— in the race for Lucas County Commissioner. Earlier this month, Sandy Bashaw, the endorsed Republican candidate withdrew from the race. While Bashaw’s name will appear on the ballot, she is no longer a candidate for the Commissioner’s seat.

Gary Byers (D) Former Maumee Municipal Court Judge

Where do you see Toledo/Lucas County I see a vibrant central city with shops, restaurants, and entertainment served by a transit system of costin 10 years? effective driverless vehicles. I see parking structures converted to green space and further development of our riverfront that will enhance the quality of life for our entire county.

Do you think Toledo is developing too fast?

Sandy Spang (I), Toledo City Council member at-large and entrepreneur Greater regional cohesiveness between a strengthened core and the reaches of the county, with progress in population and job growth. Improvement in our educational attainment and community health, especially our infant mortality rate.

Toledo is catching up to other communities in our state. After investments in the Fifth Third Field and Huntington Center, Toledo development has finally reached a critical mass where businesses and the community understand that investment in the downtown area is both lucrative and fulfilling .

No, but in some instances we are paying the price for times in the past when we allowed poorly planned development. We need to move forward with the 2040 land use plan and commit to thoughtful, sustainable development.

How do you see medical marijuana impacting Toledo/ Lucas County?

If medical marijuana can be used to help curb opioid addiction, I see it as a positive for our community.

The state legislation appears to closely regulate each step of the process, so primarily the opportunity for access lies with individuals who have qualifying medical conditions that will be treated.

How do you inspire our community?

By being open and transparent in the decisions that affect our community.

In what is being called the age of the “New Localism”, much of the innovation and creativity in the world is happening at the local level. When we celebrate the individuals, businesses and nonprofits that are contributing to our momentum we inspire others to ask how they can contribute to our community.

Why Toledo/ Lucas County?

Our quality of life, our low cost of living, Lake Erie, diverse neighborhoods, Metroparks, the Toledo Symphony, the Toledo Museum of Art, the Toledo Zoo .

Why Lucas County? Because over half the U.S. population lives in a 500 mile radius of us.

Because we have an Arts and Culture infrastructure that is both a legacy from our prosperous past and a testimony to the creativity of today’s residents. Because despite what divides us, we can unite in our commitment to our community’s future.

Where do you stand on Ohio Issue 1, and why?

I am against State Issue 1. Although the goal is laudable, using a constitutional amendment to do that is too inflexible. If we need to make changes that will affect implementation of the law. State Issue 1 will have the unintended consequence of limiting the ability of Judges to help people suffering from opioid addiction.

I will vote no. I support the goal of reducing incarceration in favor of treatment, but do not believe this legislation achieves the right balance.

What is Downtown Toledo, in particular, and Lucas County in general, missing most?

A countywide public transportation system that people across our county want to utilize.

The next steps in Downtown development need to include retail growth, attention to detail in streetscaping and an easy-on, easy-off, circulator, similar to the 16th street bus in Denver. In Lucas County, public transportation should expand to encompass the entire County and connect to other modes of transportation.

How should we diversify the Northwest Ohio economy to better attract highpaying jobs?

There is a direct correlation between the number of people with college degrees in a community and the success of that community. My idea is to create a scholarship system that will help pay for student loan debt to incentivize college graduates to move back to our county.

Businesses are attracted to our region’s logistical advantages, but pass us by because our workforce isn’t ready. We need to coordinate efforts to address the issues of training, transportation and community health, so we can grow jobs. By focusing on attracting mid-sized companies as well as innovative entrepreneurs and makers we will create a more resilient economy.

Diet Coke.

La Croix.

Water, and specifically the health of Lake Erie, is a major concern. What can you do as a County Commissioner to address the runoff issue and working with other counties?

Lucas County needs to work with federal and state authorities to ensure that best practices are being utilized by local farmers to minimize the amount of nutrient runoff into our lake. We also need to continue with our nutrient source inventory tracking nonpoint source runoff as well as modifying dredging practices in our shipping channels.

As an elected official I can join with other representatives of communities in the watershed to advocate at the state and federal level for the health of Lake Erie. I support the Total Maximum Daily Load process of the Clean Water Act, and a moratorium on the issuance of permits for additional Confined Animal Feeding Operations in the Western Lake Erie Watershed.

Please provide your thoughts on the new jail and specifically your opinion on it being located in downtown Toledo. This will have an impact on jobs and income taxes when the facility is operational and income taxes for construction trades when the building is being constructed. How do you feel about a campus-like setting for a continuum of treatment and alternatives to incarceration to be built in a more open area, not in downtown?

The current jail is losing hundreds of thousands of dollars per year because of the inefficiency of its design. Combining a detention facility with a facility to provide mental health services as well as drug and alcohol treatment is an approach that can divert people that need help (and not incarceration) from our criminal justice system. Whether a detention facility is in north Toledo or downtown, we will be faced with complex problems relating to the transportation of people in custody. My proposal is that wherever the facility is located, we place a courtroom from the Toledo Municipal Court at the facility so fewer persons will need to be transported. The experience I gained from my years serving as an assistant Lucas County prosecutor and as a judge will help ensure that any new facility is both effective and efficient.

I have learned as a member of Toledo City Council that land use issues are often the most difficult that a community can face. A process that is open, transparent and involves citizens, especially those most directly impacted, will result in a better outcome. I do not believe that we have yet had such a process regarding construction of a new jail. A project of this scope and importance to our community should have a more robust public conversation.

I understand the advantages of a single story facility. I also respect citizen concerns regarding proposed sites. We know that our current jail costs us far more to staff than a better designed facility will.

So, how do we go forward? First, because it is estimated that half of those jailed are mentally ill, we should build the proposed Solutions Center, an alternative to criminal charges and a gateway to treatment. The effect of the Center will be measurable, and can help us determine the correct number of beds needed in the new jail.

The question of location will be influenced by the results of the upcoming special election for the proposed Keep The Jail Downtown Charter Amendment, and the results of the levy to fund construction. I pledge to work for a transparent, open process to build a facility that serves our community well.

CHOW LINE Chevy’s Place

Bringing country to downtown Toledo

By Courtney Probert

Despite selling out the Huntington Center when big country stars come to town, Toledo doesn’t have— or now we should say, did not have— a designated hangout spot for country music fans after the show.

Now, country fans can find comfort in downtown’s newest addition, Chevy’s Place, a rock and country bar serving up Southern-inspired fare.

Owner Paul Swanson explains, “There isn’t enough country in Toledo, so I wanted to start that here at Chevy’s.”

Working up the ladder

Born and raised in Toledo’s north end, Swanson grew up listening to country music while working in local bars and restaurants. After nearly a decade gaining experience, he combined his passion for the hospitality business and his love for country music to open Chevy’s Place.

“Honestly, it’s just because I love Chevy’s,” Swanson laughed, referencing the name. He still maintains an old Chevy from the 70’s, preserving that history.

Rural aesthetic

Western motif meets sleek and contemporary at this cozy joint, creating an attractive space for customers to enjoy a quick drink alone or to settle in with a group to chat over shareable grub, all while boot scootin’ to country tunes played at a reasonable volume.

Hanging overhead are wooden wagon wheel light fixtures, like you might find in Western movies, alongside modern fixtures featuring Edison bulbs.

Farmhouse decor, with a soft palate of blues, greys, and black, provides a comfortable feel. “I knew I wanted that element,” Swanson said.

Even for those that can’t call themselves country music fans, the inviting atmosphere and Southern hospitality will make them feel warm and welcome. Swanson sees customer service as vital for a successful bar and he takes pride in how his staff, as a team, treats customers. And it shows. From the moment we walked in until we left, Swanson was welcoming, professional, and accommodating, all in the pursuit of providing excellent service.

Tastes from the South

We ordered the gator bites and loaded tots. Unfamiliar with alligator as a menu item, I was a bit intimidated. The presentation was attractive, and I can’t deny my love for fried foods (every once in a while), so I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. Forewarned that the texture of alligator is chewier than chicken— something that could turn people off— I found it pleasant, despite being texture sensitive. The taste was enhanced by the accompanying homemade hot bbq sauce.

The hearty helping of loaded tots were to die for, the perfect appetizer to pass around the table. Despite being smothered in pulled pork, coleslaw, bbq sauce and bacon, the tots didn’t become soggy, maintaining their crispiness.

Other menu options include country fried steak, chicken & waffles, pulled pork, sandwich or nachos, bbq brat, Chevy’s salad, country cucumbers and funnel cake fries. An added bonus,

Chevy’s Place offers happy hour from 3-7pm Monday-Thursday featuring $2 domestics, $1 off liquor and half off select appetizers.

As for the apple bacon crisp that we ordered for dessert, which Swanson describes as “just like an apple pie, but with bacon,” we must agree. The dish, an original recipe created by Swanson’s cooks, mixes sweet apples with the smokey flavor of thick-cut bacon slices and syrup. The warm bites are a tantalizing treat, enticing you to continue to dig in.

This visiting legal scholar thinks so

By Sonny Forrest

Headlining the 2018 David S. Stone Law Lecture at the University of Toledo College of Law on November 5, author and current University of Utah law professor Amos N. Guiora will present a lecture on his latest book, The Crime of Complicity: The Bystander in the Holocaust. The book attempts in Guiora’s words, “to convince the reader of the legitimacy and necessity of imposing on the bystander a legal duty to act when another individual is in harm’s way.”

He achieves this end through illuminating “the consequences of bystander inaction for the vulnerable victim.”

Though the book’s style lends itself to readers versed in legalese, it’s through this direct application of language that Guiora parses his argument into focus.

Three degrees of bystanding

In the book, Guiora classifies bystanders into three distinct categories: 1.)

Anonymous Bystander-Faceless Victim, 2.) Neighbors, 3.) Desensitized BystanderDisenfranchised Victim. The three main actors are perpetrator, bystander and victim who are “examined” from perspectives of conduct, knowledge and capability. The author’s push for individual culpability relies on those factors, plus conditions and circumstances.

The argument the book makes may sway readers to support one faction of the debate over the other, however, defining a legal responsibility for bystanders to act on behalf of victims requires unambiguous definitions of what constitutes victimhood and oppression, respectively.

Moral ambiguity clarified by history

The Holocaust as a locus academic study remains compelling, in part, because the anti-humanist extent of the atrocity is so difficult to understand.

History has, by this point, illuminated the victims and oppressors into unambiguous sides; no matter who our country’s current president attempts to placate, prevailing opinion ascribes a moniker of “very fine people” to only one side.

This historical framework renders a central and sturdy argument about bystanders’ collective inaction during the Holocaust. But while the lessons learned via hindsight now seem obvious, how does the moral ambiguity surrounding certain situations that could certainly be characterized by some as atrocities exacerbated through bystander inaction impact the application of Guiora’s proposed legal solution?

The reality of our US government shipping the children of unlawful immigrants to what, debatably, amount to soft con-

22

October 24 • November 6

Amos N. Guiora centration camps, in practice, if not in name, provides a poignant parallel to the Holocaust. In this latest scenario of extrajudicial detention, bystanders aren’t being asked to be Good Samaritans, pulling a victim from smoldering car wreckage before the ambulance shows up.

Depending on which end of the political spectrum someone occupies, this morally ambiguous reality is either warranted or unacceptable.

Sanctioned by state organs, does this questionable practice of imprisoning toddlers amount to a prolonged emergency?

At this point anyone following the circus of US politics knows this is happening. Is everyone who’s aware criminally complicit? Could complicit bystanders undergo retroactive prosecution similar to the Nuremberg trials?

A statutory duty to assist

Of course, bills are adaptable to different circumstances, but Guiora’s book addresses bystander inaction during the 20th century’s infamous Holocaust, itself a systemic humanitarian emergency legally perpetrated by the radically unjust Nuremberg Laws. Guiora said, during his testimony in favor of a proposed Utah house bill, Utah H.B. 125 Duty to Assist in An Emergency, that bystander inaction compounded victims’ suffering at the hands of totalitarian white supremacists.

In challenging readers to identify bystander complicity as a crime, Guiora raises more questions than he answers, which works when igniting a debate that has potential legs, policy-wise. Hear more about Guiora’s ideas, and share your own thoughts, during his visit to Toledo.

War to end all wars?

During the aftermath of World War I, President Woodrow Wilson referred to it as the “war to end all wars”.

Like many of Wilson’s views, he was proven wrong, though at the time, the destruction of old world Europe was difficult to describe in any other way. The University of Toledo’s Drama Department pays homage to the “greatest generation” with the play, All Quiet on the Western Front. Director Matt Foss takes the audience on an emotional journey based on the novel

by Erich Remarque. The story reveals the traumas facing modern-day veterans and the destruction left in the wake of war. $10-$18. Showtimes are 7:30pm Fridays and Saturdays, November 2-10. 2pm Sundays, November 4-11.

Slasher Offers Slicing Satire

Toledo Rep presents Halloween horror-comedy

By Jeff McGinnis

Jon Mas ters and the lead Ashley McMaho s in Slas n, her.

Space invaders

Practical joker and then radio announcer Orson Welles caused a minor panic for listeners of his live reading of the science fiction novel, War of the Worlds on-air in 1938. With tensions in Europe at an all time high, America was already on edge with the real threat of another World War, and listeners called in to radio stations all over the East Coast, terrified by the idea that the U.S. was being invaded by aliens from outer space. Unlikely as it seems, Welles’ dramatic, animated voice really sent folks into a panic. The Wood County Historical Museum seeks to capture some of the drama from that 1938 evening with a recreated broadcast of their own. $5-$10. 8-9pm Tuesday, October 30. Wood County Historical Museum, 13660 County Home Rd., Bowling Green. 419-352-0967. woodcountyhistory.org

Any fan of horror movies will recognize the cliches in Slasher, the play by Allison Moore, opening for a run at the Toledo Rep on Friday, October 26. A mad killer stalks a group of kids. The party eventually dwindles down to a single person fighting for her life.

But Slasher has more to say, not just about the horror genre, but also about the people who create it, reveals director Nancy Wright. “It’s a horrorcomedy, and it’s a send-up of slasher-type movies, like Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” Wright said.

Low-budget

“The premise is that a very naive young woman, who is pretty desperate for money, is given an opportunity to star in a very low-budget horror film, which is being filmed in her hometown of Austin, Texas. Her mother, a very angry feminist who is in a wheelchair because of a previous encounter with this sleazy director guy, sets out to stop the filming of the movie, and she will stop at nothing,” explains Wright.

The end result is a show that finds laughs and satire. No one is safe from playwright Moore’s gaze, and everyone is a ridiculed.

“It’s an absolutely equal opportunity parody. It makes fun of everybody. It makes fun of the daughter for being so naive, it makes fun of the mother for being so narrow in her focus, her single-minded determination that the world is unfair to women. It makes fun of this director who thinks he can take advantage of women,” Wright said.

October 24 • November 6

Iconic horror

Wright, who has loved both comedy and horror her whole life, identifies with the play. “I’m a lifelong fan of regular, serious, well-made horror movies,” Wright said. “Less so the ones that are really gory. But I have to say, I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre again before I agreed to direct this, just to see if I could appreciate the genius behind that kind of gory horror movie.

And you know, I understand why that became an iconic horror movie.”

Slasher is satire, which Wright said means she and her cast are working to make each individual a bit larger than life— while feeling like a human being.

“We want these characters to seem real, because you have to buy into their story. But you have to realize as you’re watching this play that these characters are not three-dimensional,” she said. “We’re playing with some stereotypes here, and the actors are definitely finding all the nuance they can to make sure they keep characters interesting.”

Wright said she hopes area audiences come away from Slasher with a few laughs at the expense of her characters and of a genre of film that is so appropriate for the season. “I hope they have unforgettable Halloween entertainment, here,” she said. “I feel like we’re adding to the landscape of entertainment for what is a favorite holiday.” $20, general. $18, seniors.

Denim Doing Good

The Rialto Jean Project brings high fashion philanthropy to downtown Toledo

By Erin Holden

Venice Beach vibes

Erin Feniger Maggio graduated from Ottawa Hills High School, not thinking that she was destined to become a clothing designer, but always drawn toward philanthropy. “I’ve always loved clothes and fashion, but that wasn’t the path I was setting,” she said. She owned a company for 12 years prior to opening RJP that specialized in event development for non-profits. Her life changed when she developed an autoimmune disease, a chronic pain disorder that caused her to reevaluate her path.

“I decided that I needed to close that chapter because planning events was extremely taxing on my body,” Maggio said.

Taking time to consider her next move, she was inspired by something that had always been a subtle but ever-present passion in her life—vintage denim.

Maggio explains, “I was living in California in Venice and was inspired by actual artists who walked around in their boyfriend’s jeans with paint all over them. I just started to think if somebody could authentically create that look, people would by them.” Maggio set to work crafting her design by watching an artist friend wipe paint brushes on her jeans. She turned her garage into a studio and started perfecting the splattered paint look that lead to her first collection.

26

The jeans have evolved since the first collection came out in August of 2013, with floral embroidery, painted flowers, and other trends depending on hot trends of each fashion season and the business took off more quickly than Maggio had expected.

High-End fashion with a heart

“What I thought was going to be this beachy, small, boutique brand ended up turning into a very high-end brand,” she said. RPJ designs can now be found in 45 locations worldwide. With her nonprofit roots, Maggio also makes sure that a portion of quarterly sales go to organizations to help human trafficking survivors, people fighting breast cancer, and children’s hospitals. “Our statement for the Rialto Jean Project is ‘Denim doing good,’ which I feel like sums up who we are,” Maggio said.

Having made her marks in the United States’ fashion capitals, Maggio knew that she and her husband were ready to move to Toledo to open her flagship store, start a family, and be close to her parents. She also wants to give back to her community and is excited to be a part of downtown’s revitalization.

“I’m a believer that you have to bring these kinds of businesses in for a city to grow,” Maggio said, adding that the items Toledoans gravitate toward in the downtown storefront will have an impact on deciding what to present to buyers. All of the RPJ designs are now produced here in Toledo. Maggio said, “I’m excited to bring my company, new jobs, and a whole new experience here.”

The fashion brand is favored by celebrities like Jessica Alba and Oprah.

Celebrities from Kanye West to Jessica Alba have been spotted wearing threads from the Rialto Jean Project.

Vogue featured the company’s first collection immediately after it launched.

Now, the founder of the RJP fashion brand has opened her flagship store in downtown Toledo, returning home after establishing successful storefronts in the style Meccas of L.A. and New York.

LISTEN HEAR Hometown Heroes for Two Decades

Local Anesthetic injects Toledo with hard rock

By Courtney Probert While not a nationally touring band, Local Anesthetic has conquered the Toledo area since forming in 1995. Playing shows throughout Ohio and Michigan, and venturing as far as Chicago and Lexington, they even headlined the Kentucky Music Conference back in 2001.

Comprised of founding members Tom Goss, lead vocalist and keyboardist, and guitarist Ron Hammersmith, and the current addition of drummer Bob Goss, and bassist Mike Kelly, the four bandmates unanimously agree that the people of Toledo -- fans, friends, promoters or stage technicians -- have contributed to their long-running success.

“We’re pretty lucky. We’re still making music that we love and that the people keep coming back for,” Bob Goss explains, “It’s just nice to have people follow you and appreciate what you’re doing.”

“One thing that has really kept us going is the different promoters that have a lot of good ideas.” Hammersmith

added, “There’s a lot of people that care about the scene that try to put the shows together and promote them.”

It’s been about a year since the band’s last public appearance, their sold out 20th anniversary show, but fans can look forward to their upcoming concert at the Civic Music Hall on Saturday, November 3. Other local acts, Angola Road and Snake Head Ritual, will open for them.

Welcome to the show

Old school supporters and new fans alike, will hear some classics that haven’t been performed live in over a decade.

“We’re very proud, very pleased and very blessed, and we put that in our performances,” explains Tom Goss. If you’re into original, progressive and melodic music, you may want to come out. It’s one of those performances where the band feeds off the crowd’s energy. When the fans are excited, that adrenaline is transferred to the stage.

Kelly adds, “For me, there’s no drug

(L-R) Tom Goss, Ron Hammersmith, Bob Goss and Mike Kelly return to the stage after a year hiatus. in the world like it. I could never relate to you the rush that it is. You can’t explain that.”

Expect quality sound, lights, and other visual effects during the concert. The band acknowledges Jim White of IMIJ Sound and Lighting, who they have worked with over the years.

“He’s one of the few soundmen in the city that I trust explicitly,” says Kelly.

From mixing behind the soundboard to physically modifying their gear, the band considers White an equal contributor to their live performances.

Reflecting back

Through the years, Civic Music Hall has changed names and ownership multiple times, but the building remains, providing a stage to showcase

local tunes. The venue is meaningful for the band for this comeback performance.

“It’s the best club in town,” says Tom, “That bar alone has allowed so many bands to showcase their original music.”

“It’s probably the most iconic rock bar in Toledo history,” adds Bob, “It’s our Madison Square Garden.”

The four-piece looks forward to their return to the stage after a lengthy break. More than 20 years of friendship, musicianship and hard rock reunite for a night celebrating Toledo’s music scene.

Tickets, $7 advance, $10 at the door.

Week of October 24

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “He believed in magic,â€? writes author Michael Chabon about a character in his novel *The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay*. “Not in the so-called magic of candles, pentagrams, and bat wings,â€? nor “dowsing rods, sĂŠances, weeping statues, werewolves, wonders, or miracles.â€? Then what kind? Chabon says it’s the “impersonal magic of life,â€? like coincidences and portents that reveal their meanings in retrospect. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because now is a favorable time to call on the specific kind of magic that you regard as real and helpful. What kind of magic is that? Halloween costume suggestion: magician, witch, wizard.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In her poem "Shedding Skin," Harryette Mullen compares her own transformation to the action a snake periodically carries out to renew itself. Since you now have an excellent opportunity to undertake your own molting process, you may find her thoughts helpful. (I've rendered them in prose for easier reading.) "Pulling out of the old scarred skin—old rough thing I don't need now—I strip off, slip out of, leave behind. Shedding toughness, peeling layers down to vulnerable stuff. And I'm blinking off old eyelids for a new way of seeing. By the rock I rub against, I'm going to be tender again." Halloween costume suggestion: snake sloughing its skin.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "Only the young and stupid are confident about sex and romance," says 49-year-old author Elizabeth Gilbert, who has written extensively about those subjects. I agree with her. I've devoted myself to studying the mysteries of love for many years, yet still feel like a rookie. Even if you are smarter about these matters than Gilbert and me, Taurus, I urge you to adopt a humble and curious attitude during the next few weeks. The cosmos has prepared some interesting lessons for you, and the best way to take advantage is to be eagerly receptive and openminded. Halloween costume suggestion: sex researcher, love explorer, intimacy experimenter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "My way of learning is to heave a wild and unpredictable monkey-wrench into the machinery," wrote Gemini author Dashiell Hammett. But I recommend that you use his approach very rarely, and only when other learning methods aren't working. Most of the time, your best strategy for getting the lessons you need is to put lubricating oil into the machinery, not a monkey-wrench.

That'll be especially true in the coming weeks. I suggest that you turn the machinery off for a while as you add the oil and and do some maintenance. Halloween costume suggestion: repair person; computer techie; machine whisperer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The great Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman was a Cancerian like you and me. One of the factors contributing to his success was that he put his demons to good use, "by harnessing them to his chariot." He also testified that he gained control over his demons by taking long walks after breakfast. "Demons don't like fresh air," he said. "They prefer it if you stay in bed with cold feet." I suspect that now would be an excellent time to adopt his advice. Halloween costume suggestion: walk your demon on a leash, or make it into a puppet, or harness it to your chariot.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Throughout the Halloween season, I encourage you to fantasize extensively about what your dream home would look like and feel like if you had all the money necessary to create it. What colors would you paint the walls? Would you have carpets or hardwood floors? What would be your perfect lighting, furniture, and dĂŠcor? As you gazed out your windows, what views would you see? Would there be nature nearby or urban hotspots?

Would you have an office or music room or art studio? Have fun imagining the sanctuary that would bring out the best in you. Halloween costume suggestion: the ultimate homebody.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "Extraordinary things are always hiding in places people never think to look," writes novelist Jodi Picoult.

That's crucial for you to meditate on during the coming weeks. Why? Because your superpower is going to be the ability to find extraordinary things that are hiding in places where people have almost never thought to look. You can do both yourself and those you care for a big

October 24 • November 6

favor by focusing your intensity on this task. Halloween costume suggestions: sleuth, treasure hunter, private eye, Sherlock Holmes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming."

Author Shauna Niequist wrote that. In accordance with the astrological omens, I endorse her perspective as true and useful for you. You've zipped through your time of fertile chaos, conjuring up fresh possibilities. When January arrives, you'll be ready to work on stability and security. But for now, your assignment is to blossom. Halloween costume suggestions: beautiful creature hatching from an egg; strong sprout cracking out of a seed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad." Sagittarian author Jane Austen wrote that in her novel *Northanger Abbey*, and now I'm passing her message on to you, slightly altered. My version is, "If adventures will not befall Sagittarian people of any age or gender in their own neighborhood, they must seek them abroad."

And where exactly is "abroad"? The dictionary says it might mean a foreign country, or it could simply mean outside or in another place. I'd like to extend the meaning further to include anywhere outside your known and familiar world.

Halloween costume suggestion: traveler on a pilgrimage or explorer on a holy quest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): PR executives at a beer company offered to pay me a lot of money if I would sneak a product placement ad into your horoscope. They asked me to pretend there was a viable astrological reason to recommend that you imbibe their product in abundance. But the truth is, the actual planetary omens suggest the opposite. You should not in fact be lounging around in a haze of intoxication. You should instead be working hard to drum up support for your labor of love or your favorite cause. Very Important People will be more available to you than usual, and you'll be wise to seek their input. Halloween costume suggestion: the Ultimate Fundraiser; Networker of the Year; Chief Hobnobber.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "What kind of idea are you?" asks author Salmon Rushdie. "Are you the kind that compromises, does deals, accommodates itself, aims to find a niche, to survive; or are you the cussed, bloody-minded, ramrod-backed type of damnfool notion that would rather break than sway with the breeze?" I pose this question to you, Aquarius, because I think you could be an effective version of either idea in the coming weeks. If you're the latter—the cussed, damnfool notion—you may change your world in dramatic ways. Halloween costume suggestions: revolutionary; crusader; agitator; rabble-rouser.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "There is no beauty without some strangeness," wrote Edgar Allen Poe. Fashion designer Rei Kawakubo ventured further, declaring, "Strangeness is a necessary ingredient in beauty." She also added another nuance to her definition: "For something to be beautiful, it doesn't have to be pretty." I'll offer you one more seed for thought: wabi-sabi. It's a Japanese term that refers to a kind of beauty that's imperfect, transitory, and incomplete. I bring these clues to your attention, Pisces, because now is an excellent time to refine and clarify your own notion of beauty—and re-commit yourself to embodying it. Halloween costume suggestion: the embodiment of your definition of beauty.
