SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS THRIVING NEIGHBORHOODS ECONOMIC GROWTH RESPONSIVE LEADERSHIP

Rule by the few in City Politics

By Johnny Hildo

Where were you on September 10, 2019?

Or the entire month leading up to it?

If you were like the vast majority of eligible Toledo and Maumee voters, one place you never set foot in was a voting booth.

In case you are one of the tens of thousands who didn’t notice, there was a primary election on September 10th. That primary election determined which of the candidates for Toledo and Maumee City Councils will appear on the November ballot in the general election.

Ruling by 5.7%

Yet only five point seven per cent of registered voters in Lucas County who could have voted bothered to take the fifteen or so minutes and cast a ballot. It was worse in some areas than others. In Toledo District 3, for example, a scant six hundred thirty five lonely souls wandered into the polling places and cast a vote.

In Toledo District One, only twelve votes separated second place finisher Shaun Strong, who will go on to the general election, and Marsha Hill, who will not. In Maumee, a mere thirty four votes separated the last candidate to clear the primary and the first candidate shut out.

Every vote mattered. Considering that large numbers of those eligible aren’t even registered in the first place, this meager turnout ensured that the electoral decision was made by a distinct minority.

This rule by the few is certainly not what the framers had in mind for a functioning American democracy. What gives? Why do so few exercise their right to determine who will represent them in City Politics?

Voting matters

Do folks believe their vote doesn’t matter? Given the closeness of some of the races, that certainly is not the case. And since thousands of eligible voters stayed home, even a small number, had they mustered the urge to vote, could have

www.toledocitypaper.com

YES FOR

changed the outcome in every race. Yet they chose instead not to.

Do folks not pay enough attention to local politics to notice that an election has come and gone? Given the oxygen sucked out of the room by the bombast of national politics, it would seem normal that folks would forget that all politics is local. Most of the media contributes to this problem, spending much larger swaths of coverage on national politics than on local races.

Are folks not aware when Election Day is here? Maybe folks want to vote, but don’t know when. Perhaps local media could do a better job of advertising when it’s time to vote. Or the Board of Elections could implement a voter education campaign.

Are voters too jaded by the state of national politics to engage in local politics? Has the partisan gridlock at the top made folks turn away at the local level?

Maybe the failure of voting technology to keep up with the times is to blame.

In twenty nineteen you can do all your banking, pay all your bills, do all your shopping, order meals, and basically live most of your life on-line twenty-four seven three sixty five. You can engage in some of your most confidential and closely guarded transactions online. Yet you still have to go to a specified location at specified times to cast a vote.

The anachronistic mechanics of registering to vote and voting, coupled with the lack of education on where, when, how, and why to vote could certainly explain why the vast majority just plain don’t bother. Add in the cynicism engendered by the bloviating elected buffoons yakking it up on the nightly news, and we’re left with a withered, wheezing rule by the few who bother.

What say y’all? If you voted, why did you do so? If you didn’t, what caused the failure? And if you’re not registered, what’s up with that?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Time for Real Change.

Premier Pour’s drink service makes at least one part of wedding planning a breeze

By Erin Holden The Premier Pour Bartending mobile service includes professional bartenders, a creative cocktail menu that includes custom creations of your choice, and they’ll even help you come up with an estimate that works best for your budget.

Bingo. Less stress.

For brides and grooms looking to have a backyard wedding, or who want to choose a venue that does not have a liquor license or waitstaff, Premier Pour is an option that will set your mind at ease. You provide the alcohol and, depending on which package you choose, they do the rest.

In short, Premier Pour makes it as easy as possible to take care of your drink service, so you don’t have to worry about your guests getting their drink on. You can book them anywhere in Ohio or Michigan in any venue that doesn’t have its own bar setup or liquor license.

Premier Pour also does corporate events, private parties, and holiday parties. To learn more about what they do, check out their website, premierpour.com, or give them a call at 419-740-0513.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS Go to premierpour.com and request a quote Choose basic or full-service (the latter is their most popular as it includes all the supplies you could possibly need— drinkware, mixers, and other non-alcoholic beverages in addition to what is included in the basic plan) Peruse their list of venues they’ve served in previously!

Dawn & Elyssa

F R I D AY, S E P T. 1 3 , 2 0 1 9 | C E D A R P O I N T

How did the two of you meet?

At a local LGBTQ night club in 2012 on Adams Street— Bretz.

It was Elyssa’s birthday and I couldn’t take my eyes off of her.

I offered to buy her a drink. The rest is history.

Who popped the question, and how?

Wedding Guide

It was mutually discussed and agreed upon. We had humorously entertained the idea for quite some time, but after years of talking about it, we decided it was time.

You just know.

How long was the engagement?

FA L L 2 0 1 9

A little over two years.

This issue’s Wedding Guide features a couple who got engaged with the help of many friends at Toledo Pride, and another couple who exchanged vows at Cedar Point dressed as witches— we are so pleased with the photos from both! Also, don’t miss our tips, tricks, and local businesses to browse as you’re planning your own special day.

Was there anything in the wedding that didn’t go according to plan?

The thunderstorm was a little worrisome as we had family and friends outside waiting for the ceremony, but it ended up making it even better!

What made your wedding day special?

We knew we didn’t want a big or traditional wedding, so as soon as we saw the Cedar Point post about the contest— six couples to be wed on Friday the 13th (under a full harvest moon)— we KNEW it was for us. We sent in the application and won!! We didn’t pay for any of it! Everything was compliments of Cedar Point. We saved a fortune.

During the wedding planning process, did you ever want to elope?

We really did kind of elope. We were just happy to have some family and a few close friends join us.

What was your favorite thing about the ceremony?

The thunderstorm! It fit in perfectly. Some say rain is lucky. The storm was strong, but short lived, and added an orange haze with ominous clouds to add to the effect of the spooky Halloweeny vibes.

How did the two of you decide on the look for your wedding?

We only knew a few days in advance that we could really wear costumes. We decided we would go with a witch theme and whipped up some stellar hats the night before our wedding.

Three words to describe your wedding expectations:

atmospheric, laidback, unconventional

How big was your wedding?

18 of our friends and family attended the ceremony. There was definitely a crowd of Cedar Point guests!

Wedding coordinator: Katie Young.

Caterer: We plan on making our own

food for our post-elopement party..... coming soon.... desserts by Meirav Pierce.

Photographer and/or videographer:

Toledo City Paper’s own Kelli Miller

Tips and tricks for other couples:

Breathe. Take your time. Don’t worry about the small stuff. You’ll reflect on that day quite a bit so make it one of the best!

DO establish a budget as soon as possible.

All of your wedding planning is contingent on how much money you have to spend.

in Toledo. We both moved to the West Coast when we were in our twenties, and— unbeknownst to either of us— we moved back to Toledo within two months of each other. We met shortly after at Toledo Pride in 2018; Thea is also known as Justin Case [drag king] and was in drag when we met.

Something about her voice made me (Sarah) want to see who she was out of drag. We had a mutual friend who connected us two days later… we went on our first date that night, stayed up talking until 5am, and have been inseparable ever since.

Tell me about how you got engaged and when: Sarah: Thea is an actress and entertainer, and I thought it was only fitting for her to be proposed to where she is most comfortable: on stage. With the help of close friends and family, I came up with a surprise proposal on the Toledo Pride stage in front of hundreds of people. Our friend Porsha Armani [drag queen] performed “our song” on stage, called us up, and I got down on one knee and popped the question. After Thea said yes and turned around, she saw several of our best friends on stage wearing shirts that spelled out “SAY YES!!”

Who proposed to whom?

Sarah: I proposed to Thea first… but Thea also has a

secret plan of her own apparently to propose to me. ;)

One year… almost to the date.

The Evolution of Diamonds

For most couples, an engagement ring is an emotional purchase because it’s more than just a piece of jewelry— for most couples, it’s a representation of shared love and the commitment they plan to make. So, how much is that symbol worth?

According to Brides’ American Wedding Study, the average cost of an engagement ring in 2018 was $7,829, representing about 14 percent of the overall wedding budget.

But what if you could slash that price by 40 percent, and still enjoy a beautiful diamond built to last for generations?

With lab-grown diamonds, you can.

Small, but meaningful, details— like your rings, other jewelry, and beautiful accessories like high heels

The fine jewelry business is based on tradition as well as elements and stones that have been around for thousands, if not millions, of years.

So it is rare and wonderful for the industry to have something new and revolutionary like lab-grown diamonds.

Lab-grown diamonds are not simulations like cubic zirconia and moissanite.

They are real diamonds that are chemically identical to mined diamonds with the same properties. The only difference is that lab-grown diamonds are grown in a high tech laboratory over a few weeks versus mined diamonds which are formed deep in the earth over thousands of years.

“Lab-grown diamonds have identical optical and chemical properties as mined diamonds which means they are just as hard and sparkle the same way,” explains Jeffrey Mann of Jeffrey Mann Fine Jewelers. “They also are graded by the same gemological institutes using the standards that grade mined diamonds. Loose lab-grown diamonds are accompanied by a certificate assuring their authenticity with a full grading of

Proven technology used a new way

Lab-grown diamonds are not exactly new. The technology was developed in the 1950s and has been in use for decades to create diamonds for industrial applications. In 2013, lab-grown diamonds represented only 2 percent of the gemstone quality market. In 2018, labgrown diamonds joined the popular fine jewelry market after the FTC ruled that manufacturers and dealers could refer to the gemstone as a diamond. Shortly after, diamond mogul DeBeers launched their own lab-grown diamond line.

Locally, Jeffrey Mann Fine Jewelers is leading our region in this trend, offering lab-grown diamonds under their own MANN MADETM brand.

“We’ve been Toledo’s diamond source for 35 years,” said Mann. “If there is something new and exciting like MANN MADE TM diamonds that we know our customers are going to love, we are proud to put our name on it.”

More for your money

Compared to mined diamonds, labgrown diamonds are an exceptional value. Customers can expect to save 20 - 40 percent on comparable diamonds. Not only does this provide a huge relief for those looking to save money on engagement and wedding costs, but it also opens up a world of possibilities for anyone planning on sticking to their original budget.

“Most customers walk in our store with a budget in mind. When they find out that with lab-grown diamonds they can get a bigger diamond and stay within their budget, their decision is easy, and they opt for lab-grown,” said Mann.

“A diamond is a diamond. The only difference our customers will see with lab-grown diamonds is the price.”

GLASS CITY BUZZ Funky Turtle Brewing

Celebrating 35 Years!

PHOTO CREDIT: HANNAH BRUCKNER

Company brews to hit the Toledo market soon

By Dave Kubacki

(L-R) Tom Garrison, Drake Pregnal and Troy Secrest bring passion and valuable craft brewing experience to the Funky Turtle Brewing Company.

It seems unlikely that a brewery would begin in a “dry” county, but that is how Funky Turtle Brewing Company started.

The Turtle is Toledo’s newest craft brewery and meadery.

For Funky Turtle founders Drake Pregnal and Tom Garrison, craft beer began as a hobby, following a passion for rock climbing in the backwoods of Kentucky.

According to Pregnal, life was good. “We would climb all day and then drink craft beer at night,” Pregnal said. “That’s pretty much how all of this got started.”

From Kentucky, the two moved around a bit, with Pregnal gaining valuable brewing experience at one of the country’s most reputable breweries, Avery Brewing Company in Colorado. Garrison, a former software engineer turned brewer, gained his experience locally, working at Wild Side Brewing Company in Grand Rapids, Ohio. Pregnal and Garrison added a third person to the fold, Troy Secrest, who was well connected in the Toledo beer community and had a knack for marketing and sales.

Why Funky Turtle?

“Funky is in our name for a couple of reasons,” Secrest said. “The main reason is that our beer and meads are going to be a little different. We are going to push the envelope with the beers and meads we put out. Also, it speaks to our personalities. We are just a little different.”

“Turtle” is actually an homage to Pregnal’s and Garrison’s roots. “We started talking about our background and living in eastern Kentucky,” Pregnal said. “They have the Daniel Boone National Forest and the Sheltowee Trail. Sheltowee actually translates to the ‘Big Turtle’ and was the name given to Daniel Boone when he was romping around in Kentucky.”

www.toledocitypaper.com

A Toledo tradition since 1984

What to expect

With a production facility, dubbed the Funk House, on Sylvania Avenue near downtown, Funky Turtle Brewing Company plans to focus on local distribution and brewery memberships. “We want to put a whole bunch of cans out in the market,” Garrison said. “We are going to put sours, meads and stouts in cans. We just think cans are so much better.”

While a Funky Brewing Company taproom is certainly in the plans, it is not the initial focus. According to Secrest, Funky Turtle wants to develop the product before moving forward with the taproom. “The big question we keep getting is where the taproom is going to be,” Secrest said. “Our main focus right now is to make the highest quality beer and mead. We don’t want to just pump out beer to keep up with the demand of a taproom. We want to make sure we are taking care of our home market. We want every batch to be personally tested by us so that we are proud to put our name on it. We are going to open a taproom when the time is right.”

Collaboration, not competition

Some may question how many breweries are enough for the Toledo market.

According to Garrison, adding more breweries is not a competition as much as it is an opportunity.

“We don’t see other breweries as competition,” Garrison said. “We see them as potential partners to collaborate with and to make the Toledo beer community stronger. The more Toledo becomes a destination for those interested in beer, the more everyone will benefit from that.”

This Ain’t Santa Claus

ACT presents unusual vampire story, St. Nicholas

By Jeff McGinnis While the name St. Nicholas may conjure expectations of snowbound holiday vistas and the warmth of the Christmas season, the Conor McPherson play of the same name, staged by Actors Collaborative Toledo on Saturday, October 19 and Sunday, October 20, is anything but a happy yuletide tale.

“Although most of us associate that name with Christmas, there is no reference in the script to that holiday or to St. Nicholas himself,” director Nancy Wright explains. Instead, St. Nicholas is a harrowing, gothic piece perfect for the Halloween season, a one-man tour de force about a writer who recounts his meeting with a vampire. “ The storyteller, an alcoholic Irish theatre critic who hits bottom at the same moment he meets the undead, is not exactly your typical vampire tale,” Wright said.

Dead inside

“The tone of this play is dark and edgy as it focuses on a middle-aged, late-stage alcoholic who confesses to his audience that he was ‘dead inside’ before he met the vampire... shar(ing) with the (audience) a powerful ‘gift’ that he received as a result of surviving,” Wright said.

A fan of Irish playwright McPherson, Wright came across St. Nicholas and thought of using it as a Halloweenappropriate performance, and knew that she wanted the president and co-founder of Actors Collaborative Toledo, Jeffrey Albright, in the lead role. “When I presented the script to Jeffrey, I offered to direct it. We had a number of conversations about staging it and we’re now in the process of making it happen for Toledo audiences.”

Actor Collaborative’s Jeffrey Albright is a one man cast who recounts meeting a vampire.

A sacred place

The gothic mood and dark tone of the show’s narrative made the chapel of Trinity Episcopal Church on Adams Street an intriguing venue.

“Candlelight combined with the hush of this sacred place enhances the tale of one man’s dark night of the soul. The audience will be able to experience every breath, every intonation, every subtle facial expression,” Wright said.

It can be a tall order for an actor to fill a stage for an entire play on their own, even if the tale he’s spinning involves vampires and personal demons being confronted head-on. But Wright said that having a performer as experienced and nuanced as Albright in the lead gives the show incredible power. “What makes Jeffrey such an exciting actor to work with is that he brings an abundance of creative resources to his performance. Jeffrey embodies and interprets real-life losses and sensitivities in ways that are profoundly moving.”

“I hope the (audience) revel(s) in the power of a suspenseful story, well told, even as they savor the Halloweenseason spirit of this tale.” $12 at the door, $10 in advance. 8pm, Saturday, October 19. 3pm, Sunday, October 20. Trinity Episcopal Church, 316 Adams St. 419-205-0409. act419.org

The value of art

The 2018 documentary The Price of Everything explores the contemporary art scene and the outrageous world of art collectors through interviews with dealers, auction houses and artists. As the Post-War art market heated up, the modern art scene saw prices jump well into the millions for highly sought after works of art. The documentary looks into the inflated market and asks the question, who benefits? 7pm. Friday, October 11.

It wasn’t supposed to happen in a stodgy city of starched shirts and conservative think tanks, but it did.

The Washington, D.C. punk scene impacted the music world like a meteor, and decades after it peaked, we’re still feeling the effects. The scope of the crater is explored in the new documentary Punk the Capital: Building a Sound Movement in Washington D.C. Featuring Toledo resident and Minor Threat/Dischord Records cofounder Jeff Nelson, Punk the Capital is a decades-in-the-making labor of love from filmmakers Paul Bishow, Sam Lavine, and James Schneider covering the peak years of the D.C. punk scene from 1976 to 1983.

“The quality of the film is amazing,” said Nelson, an Old West End resident who still runs legendary punk label Dischord Records. “(Paul and James) have amassed a huge amount of home movies on Super 8 and 16 mm that features old film footage from shows and regular D.C. scenes. They did a great job capturing the essence of DC in the late ‘70s.

You really feel like you’re there.”

With the band

The film follows three D.C. punk bands— Bad Brains, The Slickee Boys, and Minor Threat— through the ups and downs of the burgeoning music scene. Nelson recalls first being interviewed for the film more than 15 years ago when he was living in Arlington, Virginia. “This film does a great job of capturing the fun spirit of the scene and explaining what made the D.C. scene different from other parts of the country.”

Punk the Capital, currently being shown across America by the filmmakers, has a tour stop in Toledo on Thursday, October 10 at Handmade Toledo. Nelson will attend the screening and participate in an audience Q&A.

Inside the gates of Toledo’s 178-year old Forest Cemetery lie elements of our city’s history as a number of influential Toledoans are buried there. Through the research and hard work of two local historians, the stories of Toledo’s past have been brought to light.

Becky Visser— president of Historic Perrysburg, a founding member of the Perrysburg Area Historic Museum, and co-author of Toledo’s Woodlawn Cemetery— and Gary L. Franks— author of five history books— have come together to write Toledo’s Forest Cemetery.

The book’s chapters are made up of influential people from different areas of life, such as pioneers, police officers, bankers and more. “For each section of people from the book there's someone really interesting,” Franks said.

Favorite characters

The authors do have a favorite pair.

Miles Carrington and Theodore Casey were intertwined in all aspects of life. They were brothers-in-law and business partners. “They were grain merchants and they built one of the largest sailing ships, not only in Toledo, but, in the world at the time. They’re buried on the same plot so they’re bodies are together in death as they were in life. Just an amazing story,” Franks said.

www.toledocitypaper.com

Notable stories

A black woman named Frances Alexander Belcher, influential in the start of the Toledo cotillion, a tradition that still stands to this day. A member of the Toledo Chapter of the NAACP, Belcher founded The Bronze Raven, a weekly newspaper for the African-American community. But she’s in an unmarked grave. “That made me feel so bad, she did a lot for Toledo and we don’t talk about her, she’s totally lost,” Visser said.

The book took three years to complete.

“You get attached to these people. Some stories I couldn’t type fast enough, some I had to leave my office to take a moment.

They lived with me, you create a bond and some of them you mourn,” Visser said.

The people buried in Forest Cemetery shaped the Toledo of today. Remembering the history of the city is instrumental in it’s growth. Toledo’s Forest Cemetery is an incredibly interesting read with a lot of heart behind it. “We’ve had a lot of fun doing this,” Franks said.

Forest Cemetary is located at 1704 Mulberry St.

One weekend every fall for the last 40 years, Bowling Green State University becomes the center of the contemporary classical music universe. The Bowling Green New Music Festival is an exciting weekend of musical performances, art exhibitions and talks. This year’s festival, Wednesday, October 16 through Saturday evening, October 19, features music and performances by artists from around the globe.

The festival begins in the realm of visual art with a performance/talk by Los Angeles-based animator, director, designer Miwa Matreyek who “creates live, staged performances where she interacts with her animations as a shadow silhouette.” Discussing and previewing her upcoming work, Infinitely Yours, “a visual and visceral poem for an unknown future,” will kick-off the BGSU School of Art’s exhibition of Matreyek’s recorded work.

Thursday, October 17 the NMF’s concert program begins with a 1pm talk by composer, conductor and clarinetist— the Festival’s featured composer— Evan Ziporyn. Finding inspiration from jazz, avant-garde classical music, Balinese Gamelan and other genres, Ziporyn has a unique voice that stands “at the crossroads between. . . cultures, east and west.” Ziporyn’s music will be performed in six of the festival’s eight concerts. His piece for drums and wind ensemble, Impulse Control— commissioned for the festival— will premiere at Thursday evening’s concert in BGSU’s Kobacker Hall. The New Music Festival will also feature the music of Christopher Dietz, Marilyn Shrude, Mikel Kuhn, Viet Cuong, John Corigliano and others.

New Music Detroit: Pushing Boundaries in the Motor City

Each year the NMF also hosts a featured ensemble. The 40th iteration of the festival brings New Music Detroit, “a collective of musicians dedicated to

This year’s featured composer, Evan Ziporyn. performing groundbreaking musical works from the late-20th century to the present day.” The festival’s Friday evening concert (also in Kobacker Hall) will have the group present works by Ziporyn and composer-director Amy Beth Kirsten.

Thursday night’s concert at Bowling Green’s historic Cla-Zel Theatre provides a less traditional atmosphere, as concertgoers take in some of the festival’s most unique and boundarypushing music. In a weekend filled with incredible musical experiences, the Cla-Zel Theatre performance is always a highlight.

The New Music Festival is a rare chance to experience some very fine music-making, and, with the exception of Saturday night’s orchestral/choral performance, every concert is free and open to the public. Classical music can be daunting, but the New Music Festival, for 40 years, has been welcoming for everyone, from the connoisseur to the uninitiated. Lose yourself in the Miwa Matreyek exhibit, admire the boundary-pushing artistry of New Music Detroit, or you get a little rowdy at the Cla-Zel, the New Music Festival— the NMF is celebrating its 40th year for a reason.

Thursday, October 16, 7PM through Saturday, October 19, 8PM. Most performances are free.

Saturday night Kobacker Hall concert $8; Free for BGSU Students with ID. bgsu.edu/musicalarts/maccm/new-music-festival.html

Walleye return to home ice November 2-3

The Toledo Walleye return to the Huntington Center ice for Opening Weekend, Saturday, November 2 and Sunday, November 3. Last season provides an indication of what to expect from the FINtastic defending ECHL Western Conference Champions, so consider us hooked.

Last season, the Toledo Walleye traveled more than 2,000 miles to reach the edge of North America in hopes of bringing home the Kelly Cup. While they fell short of their goal, the team did enjoy a historical run, making the longest post-

season run in the Walleye’s 10-year history. This season, the Walleye will continue to make history.

Last season, Cody Sol played his fifth season for Toledo’s archrival, the Fort Wayne Komets. This season, the 6-foot6 defenseman has been added to the Toledo Walleye training camp roster on a player tryout agreement. Will Sol put on the Walleye jersey and hit the ice for opening weekend against his former team?

Last season, forward Manny Gialedakis spit his time between Norfolk and Orlando in the ECHL. This season, he joins the Toledo Walleye.

Week of October 10

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I hope you are embarking on a vigorous new phase of selfredefinition. I trust you are excited about shedding old ways of thinking about yourself and eager to revise and re-imagine the plot of your life story. As you do, keep in mind this helpful counsel from physicist Richard Feynman: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their mistake, not my failing.â&#x20AC;?

Š Copyright 2019 Rob Brezsny

ARIES (March 21-April 19): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself,â&#x20AC;? wrote poet AndrĂŠ Breton.

I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent principle to put at the top of your priority list in the coming weeks, Aries. To be in maximum alignment with cosmic rhythms, you should seek input from allies whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll offer insights about you that are outside your current conceptions of yourself. You might even be daring enough to place yourself in the paths of strangers, acquaintances, animals, and teachers who can provide novel reflections.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one caveat: Stay away from people who might be inclined to fling negative feedback.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Constantine P. Cavafyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waiting for the Barbariansâ&#x20AC;? imagines the imminent arrival of an unpredictable agent of chaos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The barbarians are coming today,â&#x20AC;? declares the narrator. Everyone in town is uneasy.

Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s routines are in disarray. Faces look worried. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen? But the poem has a surprise ending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is night, and the barbarians havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come,â&#x20AC;? reports the narrator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people have arrived from the frontier and say that there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any more barbarians.â&#x20AC;? I propose that we use this scene as a metaphor for your life right now, Taurus. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite possible that the perceived threat isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really a threat. So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my question, taken from near the end of the poem: â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are we going to do now without the barbarians?â&#x20AC;?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some folklorists prefer the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonder talesâ&#x20AC;? rather than â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairy tales.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, many such stories are filled with marvelous events that feature magical transformations, talking animals, and mythical creatures like elves and dragons and unicorns. I bring this up, Gemini, because I want to encourage you to read some wonder tales. Hopefully, as you do, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be inspired to re-imagine your life as a wonder tale; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll reframe the events of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;real worldâ&#x20AC;? around you as being elements in a richly entertaining wonder tale. Why do I recommend this? Because wonder tales are like waking dreams that reveal the wishes and curiosities and fascinations of your deep psyche. And I think you will benefit profoundly in the coming weeks from consciously tuning in to those wishes and curiosities and fascinations.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I suspect that in the coming days youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to see into everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s souls more vividly than usual. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a special talent for piercing through the outer trappings of their personalities so as to gaze at the essence beneath. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as if your eyes will be blessed by an enhancement that enables you to discern whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often hidden. This upgrade in your perception may at times be unsettling. For some of the people you behold, the difference between how they present themselves and who they actually are will be dramatic. But for the most part, penetrating to the depths should be fun, enriching, even healing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;This heart is rusty,â&#x20AC;? writes poet Gabriel Gadfly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It creaks, it clanks, it crashes and rattles and bangs.â&#x20AC;? Why is his heart in such a state? Because he has been separated from a person he loves. And so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of practice in doing the little things, the caring gestures and tender words, that a lover does to keep the heart well-oiled. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my observation that most of us go through rusty-heart phases like this even when we are living in close proximity to an intimate ally. We neglect to practice the art of bestowing affectionate attention and low-key adoration. We forget how important it is for our own welfare that we continually refresh and reinvigorate our heart intelligence. These are good meditations for you right now, Leo. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the effort in the world wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not inspired,â&#x20AC;? writes novelist Chuck Palahniuk. I agree! And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a key meditation for you right now. Your assignment is to enhance and upgrade the inspiration you feel

October 9 â&#x20AC;˘ October 22

about the activities that are most important to youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the work and the play that give you the sense youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living a meaningful life. So how do you boost your excitement and motivation for those essential actions you do on a regular basis? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good place to begin: visualize in exuberant detail all the reasons you started doing them in the first place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably heard the saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genius is 99 percent perspiration and one percent inspiration.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often attributed to inventor Thomas Edison. Sixteenth-century artist Michelangelo expressed a similar idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you knew how much labor went into it, you would not call it genius,â&#x20AC;? he said about one of his masterpieces. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing that you Scorpios have been in a phase when these descriptions are highly apropos.

The work youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing may look productive and interesting and heroic to the casual observer, and maybe only you know how arduous and exacting it has been. So now what do you do? I say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to enjoy the fruits of your efforts. Celebrate! Give yourself a thrilling gift.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you,â&#x20AC;? declared astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a little bit true, I bet you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it in the coming weeks. According to my analysis, the universe will make a great deal of sense to youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at times even exquisite, beautiful, breathtaking sense. Life will be in a revelatory and articulate mood. The evocative clues coming your way about the nature of reality could tempt you to believe that there is indeed a coherent plan and meaning to your personal destiny.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 2005, Facebook was a start-up company barely on the map of the internet. Its president asked graffiti artist David Choe to paint murals on the walls of its headquarters.

Choe asked for $60,000, but the president convinced him to be paid with Facebook stock instead. Years later, when Facebook went public, Choe became a multi-millionaire. I suspect that in the coming months you will be faced with choices that are less spectacular than that, Capricorn, but similar and important. My conclusion: Be willing to consider smart gambles when projects are germinating.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Experiment is the sole source of truth,â&#x20AC;? wrote philosopher and polymath Henri PoincarĂŠ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It alone can teach us something new; it alone can give us certainty.â&#x20AC;? He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t merely referring to the kinds of experiments that scientists conduct in laboratories. He was talking about the probes and explorations we can and should carry out in the course of our daily lives. I mention this, Aquarius, because the coming days will be prime time for you to do just that: ask provocative questions, initiate novel adventures, and incite fun learning experiences.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In my opinion, Piscean singer, poet, and actor Saul Williams produces high-quality art.

So he has earned a right to critique mediocre art. In speaking about movies and TV shows that are hard to enjoy unless we dumb ourselves down, he says that â&#x20AC;&#x153;we have more guilty pleasure than actual f------ pleasure.â&#x20AC;? Your assignment in the coming weeks, Pisces, is to cut back on your â&#x20AC;&#x153;guiity pleasuresâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the entertainment, art, and socializing that brings meager returnsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as you increase and upgrade your actual f----- pleasure.

Week of October 10

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I hope you are embarking on a vigorous new phase of selfredefinition. I trust you are excited about shedding old ways of thinking about yourself and eager to revise and re-imagine the plot of your life story. As you do, keep in mind this helpful counsel from physicist Richard Feynman: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their mistake, not my failing.â&#x20AC;?

Š Copyright 2019 Rob Brezsny

ARIES (March 21-April 19): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself,â&#x20AC;? wrote poet AndrĂŠ Breton.

I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent principle to put at the top of your priority list in the coming weeks, Aries. To be in maximum alignment with cosmic rhythms, you should seek input from allies whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll offer insights about you that are outside your current conceptions of yourself. You might even be daring enough to place yourself in the paths of strangers, acquaintances, animals, and teachers who can provide novel reflections.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one caveat: Stay away from people who might be inclined to fling negative feedback.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Constantine P. Cavafyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waiting for the Barbariansâ&#x20AC;? imagines the imminent arrival of an unpredictable agent of chaos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The barbarians are coming today,â&#x20AC;? declares the narrator. Everyone in town is uneasy.

Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s routines are in disarray. Faces look worried. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen? But the poem has a surprise ending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is night, and the barbarians havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come,â&#x20AC;? reports the narrator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people have arrived from the frontier and say that there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any more barbarians.â&#x20AC;? I propose that we use this scene as a metaphor for your life right now, Taurus. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite possible that the perceived threat isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really a threat. So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my question, taken from near the end of the poem: â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are we going to do now without the barbarians?â&#x20AC;?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some folklorists prefer the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonder talesâ&#x20AC;? rather than â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairy tales.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, many such stories are filled with marvelous events that feature magical transformations, talking animals, and mythical creatures like elves and dragons and unicorns. I bring this up, Gemini, because I want to encourage you to read some wonder tales. Hopefully, as you do, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be inspired to re-imagine your life as a wonder tale; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll reframe the events of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;real worldâ&#x20AC;? around you as being elements in a richly entertaining wonder tale. Why do I recommend this? Because wonder tales are like waking dreams that reveal the wishes and curiosities and fascinations of your deep psyche. And I think you will benefit profoundly in the coming weeks from consciously tuning in to those wishes and curiosities and fascinations.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I suspect that in the coming days youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to see into everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s souls more vividly than usual. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a special talent for piercing through the outer trappings of their personalities so as to gaze at the essence beneath. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as if your eyes will be blessed by an enhancement that enables you to discern whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often hidden. This upgrade in your perception may at times be unsettling. For some of the people you behold, the difference between how they present themselves and who they actually are will be dramatic. But for the most part, penetrating to the depths should be fun, enriching, even healing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;This heart is rusty,â&#x20AC;? writes poet Gabriel Gadfly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It creaks, it clanks, it crashes and rattles and bangs.â&#x20AC;? Why is his heart in such a state? Because he has been separated from a person he loves. And so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of practice in doing the little things, the caring gestures and tender words, that a lover does to keep the heart well-oiled. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my observation that most of us go through rusty-heart phases like this even when we are living in close proximity to an intimate ally. We neglect to practice the art of bestowing affectionate attention and low-key adoration. We forget how important it is for our own welfare that we continually refresh and reinvigorate our heart intelligence. These are good meditations for you right now, Leo. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the effort in the world wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not inspired,â&#x20AC;? writes novelist Chuck Palahniuk. I agree! And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a key meditation for you right now. Your assignment is to enhance and upgrade the inspiration you feel

October 9 â&#x20AC;˘ October 22

about the activities that are most important to youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the work and the play that give you the sense youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living a meaningful life. So how do you boost your excitement and motivation for those essential actions you do on a regular basis? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good place to begin: visualize in exuberant detail all the reasons you started doing them in the first place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably heard the saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genius is 99 percent perspiration and one percent inspiration.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often attributed to inventor Thomas Edison. Sixteenth-century artist Michelangelo expressed a similar idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you knew how much labor went into it, you would not call it genius,â&#x20AC;? he said about one of his masterpieces. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing that you Scorpios have been in a phase when these descriptions are highly apropos.

The work youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing may look productive and interesting and heroic to the casual observer, and maybe only you know how arduous and exacting it has been. So now what do you do? I say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to enjoy the fruits of your efforts. Celebrate! Give yourself a thrilling gift.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you,â&#x20AC;? declared astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a little bit true, I bet you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it in the coming weeks. According to my analysis, the universe will make a great deal of sense to youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at times even exquisite, beautiful, breathtaking sense. Life will be in a revelatory and articulate mood. The evocative clues coming your way about the nature of reality could tempt you to believe that there is indeed a coherent plan and meaning to your personal destiny.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 2005, Facebook was a start-up company barely on the map of the internet. Its president asked graffiti artist David Choe to paint murals on the walls of its headquarters.

Choe asked for $60,000, but the president convinced him to be paid with Facebook stock instead. Years later, when Facebook went public, Choe became a multi-millionaire. I suspect that in the coming months you will be faced with choices that are less spectacular than that, Capricorn, but similar and important. My conclusion: Be willing to consider smart gambles when projects are germinating.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Experiment is the sole source of truth,â&#x20AC;? wrote philosopher and polymath Henri PoincarĂŠ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It alone can teach us something new; it alone can give us certainty.â&#x20AC;? He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t merely referring to the kinds of experiments that scientists conduct in laboratories. He was talking about the probes and explorations we can and should carry out in the course of our daily lives. I mention this, Aquarius, because the coming days will be prime time for you to do just that: ask provocative questions, initiate novel adventures, and incite fun learning experiences.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In my opinion, Piscean singer, poet, and actor Saul Williams produces high-quality art.

So he has earned a right to critique mediocre art. In speaking about movies and TV shows that are hard to enjoy unless we dumb ourselves down, he says that â&#x20AC;&#x153;we have more guilty pleasure than actual f------ pleasure.â&#x20AC;? Your assignment in the coming weeks, Pisces, is to cut back on your â&#x20AC;&#x153;guiity pleasuresâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the entertainment, art, and socializing that brings meager returnsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as you increase and upgrade your actual f----- pleasure.

As mandated by the Federal regulations at 24 CFR Part 91, the City is starting a collaborative and community planning process. As part of the planning process, the City will be conducting public meetings to solicit input on housing and community development needs, priorities, and the use of program funds. The information gathered will be

combined with other data and summarized in the “Five-Year Consolidated Plan” for FY 2020-2025 and the “Annual Action Plan” for FY-2020.

All interested citizens, community groups, and persons working in the City are invited to attend these meetings. The locations and dates of meetings are provided below. If you are unable to attend meetings and wish to provide input for consideration, please mail your comments to the City of Toledo, Department of Neighborhood and Business Development, One Government Center, Suite 1800, Toledo, OH 43604, ATTN: 2020-2025 Five-Year Consolidated Plan, by March 26, 2020.
