“By all the lovely tokens, September days are here with summer’s best of weather and autumn’s best of cheer” Helen Hunt Jackson

Summer is departing and it’s time to enjoy fall’s bounty. This month our magazine looks at a serious problem, heroin a killer here in Northwest Ohio. Addicts, their parents, grandparents, and friends struggle to cope with this epidemic that shows no sign of slowing down. MLiving is giving you the story and what you can do to help.

A fundraiser, [Don’t Skirt the Issue - Help], will take place Saturday, October 29th at the Maumee Bay Brewing Company beginning at 6 pm, to develop housing, specifically for drug addicted mothers, allowing them to continue working on recovery without being separated from their children; that separation is the #1 reason why women leave treatment.

We also visit with representatives from the Toledo Dental Society who are combatting the epidemic by adopting an opioid abuse resolution to increase awareness and to provide guidelines for responsible and ethical use of pain medication.

Our profile features Kristi Hoffman who is taking her Total Package Girl program to new heights.

MHome calls on the Beat’s at their magnificent Moon Lake home.

It is sports season and we get some advice on how to be a good sport at those events both from administrators and a young athlete. Hungry for breakfast or lunch, read why Grumpy’s is just the place.

Enjoy autumn’s knock on the door and cherish those small treasures on National Grandparent’s Day, September 11th. As always, please let me hear your comments and suggestions, pnowak@ adamsstreetpublishing.com Best,

Heroin Addiction

By Chris Watson

Drug abuse statistics are staggering with overdoses the leading cause of accidental death in the United States, with over 10,000 heroin related deaths a year, according to the American Society of Addictive Medicine. Four out of five heroin users started with legal, often times medically prescribed, painkillers, before switching to heroin. The reason? Most addicts give the same answer: it’s cheaper. Heroin addiction and resulting deaths are not limited by race, socio-economic factors, ethnicity, culture, education, gender or age. Of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17, 28,000 will try heroin this year, while an additional 19,000 will become regular users. Females are particularly vulnerable, with overdoses from heroin tripling in the last three years alone.

A Community Concern

What can a community actually do?

“Acceptance is the priority,” Karen Freiberger, a parent (see her story on page 8) said. “This is not an inner-city problem or an urban problem or a poor or rich problem. There are no barriers here. Heroin is available to anyone and it is used by people across our community spectrum. Denial of the pervasiveness of the problem gives addicts and their dealers a bigger ability to operate.”

“Second, it is paramount that we stop blaming entire families for one member’s addiction. I have heard so often that ‘Kids live what they learn.’

There were no drugs in my family. My daughter didn’t learn to use drugs in our home. We are in desperate need of affordable controlled treatment centers and sober living houses. For people who genuinely want to recover we do not have enough beds. Finally, we can assist law enforcement. If we see someone using, call it in. If we see someone selling, call it in.”

Keith Walker, President of Walker Funeral Homes, has witnessed many heroin tragedies. “It is so sad to see lives lost to heroin. Families are crippled by grief, anger, and guilt over the entire situation.” Walker, along with other area business, launched the “Heroin Steals the Future - There is Help” campaign in January, 2016.

“We need to further the conversation. For so long people considered

6

heroin a ‘hard core’ drug. It is important that we acknowledge how available and imbedded the drug is.”

Jennifer Moses, Chief Executive Officer of the Zepf Center, a behavioral healthcare resource explains, “We’re not naive. We don’t believe that an advertising campaign is going to turn this thing around, but we hope that every visual, top-of-mind message to the community that there is help for addiction will resonate with an addict or that addict’s family.”

The Zepf Center and sober living environments like Harbor House, The Open Door, Adam’s House, and Whitney Manor provide transitional living for addicts. However, [bed capacity is limited and woefully short of meeting the need.]

Addicts are siblings, friends, parents, teachers, students, children, coworkers and bosses. Dale, an arcovering addict [see his story on page 8] gives us hope.

“I thought I was a bad person. With treatment and a program of recovery I realized that I was a sick person and I wanted to get healthy. I have been clean for over 3 years. I have a job, a car, ties to my family, and friends. I finally, after 28 years of using, I am living the life I always sought and could never seem to find. I am very, very grateful.”

Karen’s Story: A Co-Survivor

Marisa with mother, Karen Freiberger

“My daughter is an active heroin addict for the last decade. She has been in 15 different treatment programs, 13 overdoses that I know of, jailed in five states, and she prostitutes herself for money. She’s 24.”

Karen’s story is about the life-stealing effects of heroin as it is relates to her addicted daughter. “I felt truly alone in the world. My upbringing told me that if my daughter wasn’t doing well there had to be some-

thing I could do; that I was a bad parent and a failure if she didn’t get clean. We tried everything. Counselors, doctors, nutritionists… anything to ‘fix’ the problem. Nothing worked. We tried an intervention, which was terribly painful for the whole family, but it wasn’t successful. My son and my husband carried her bags to the curb and we locked the doors.”

Karen found support from families facing similar situations. “It seemed there was nothing left that I could do for my daughter. But there was a lot I could do about me; programs that help those of us with family

members who are addicts, whether those addicts have found recovery or not. In many respects, those of us with loved ones who use can become as sick as the addict. Family members are riddled with isolation, justification, resentment, guilt, and above all, fear.

By grouping together with others who understand, I started to put my life back together. I recognize that my daughter’s actions are what put her where she is today, not some parenting I did or didn’t do in the past. I still grieve, I still ache, and I still hope, with the love and support of my family and community.”

Dale’s Story: A Survivor

Dale, a veteran of the US Army, honorably discharged in 1983 with chronic low back pain started with painkillers before switching to heroin. “The minute I tried heroin I knew it was for me.” he said. “I started using in 1985. Within 60 days I was using daily. I was lonely, I knew there was something lacking in me. I just kept moving from situation to situation. Nothing worked. And the using just progressed. I started losing jobs, the respect of my family, and self respect. To get me the money I needed quickly enough, stealing was the fastest way.”

But there were consequences. “I have 13 different penitentiary

8

numbers (each on for a separate time he has been sentenced to prison), all of them theft related.

I have been treated for 7 times for overdoses...that I know of. Memories get a little flakey.” Dale, who started drinking and smoking marijuana at 14, used for 28 years.

“I wanted to stop. I kept telling myself, ‘no more.’ No more penitentiary, no more stealing, no more using, but everyone I knew was a user. I actually got clean once for 4 months. I got a job, my family talked to me, I had money. Then, one night, I ran into a person who had some drugs and that was it. I used for another 13 years.”

Toledo Dental Society presents Dose

Group Addresses Opioid Issues In a study published online by the Journal of the American Medical Association produced results that 42% of patients who has a tooth extracted were given a prescription for an opioid; most commonly prescribed hydrocodone. The data suggests that a disproportionately large amount were prescribed when a nonopioid analgesics would be more effective.

The Toledo Dental Society is aware of the media attention focused on the national opioid addiction problem and agrees that in Ohio there is an epidemic that needs to be addressed with “Responsible Prescribing” for patients.

The TDS Opioid Awareness Task Force, chaired by Dr. Matt Lark and others serving on the task force: Dr. Bill Garber, Dr. Mike Judy, Dr. Keith Norwalk, Dr. Steve Shall, Dr. Larry Schmaekel, Dr. Jim Zimmerman, Dr. Matt Dietrich and Dr. Bill Zouhary are putting together dental opioid symposium and education DOSE on Thursday, October 13th at Inverness Country Club.

The symposium will increase awareness among its members about the escalating problem and to provide up to date recommendations for the responsible and ethical use of pain medications including opioids. It will also inform leaders in the community and the public of the efforts being taken in order to encourage other professionals to follow the example.

The event will be emceed by WSPD’s Fred LeFebvre and will include a panel of experts including Sheriff John Tharp, Dr. Bob Fourney, Keith Walker and Mike DeWine, Ohio Attorney General.

The task force will also be encouraging the ODA and the ADA to take a similar role at the state and national level. While the task force agrees that neither the dentists nor the dental profession cause the opioid addiction there is much that they can do as a group to help with the problem and it is incumbent as their commitment to humanity to do so.

Narcan Counters Heroin and other Narcotic Overdoses

By Stephen Roberts PhD A friend of mine purchased the opportunity to have dinner with firefighters at a fundraiser event to benefit a Toledo homeless shelter. He invited my wife and I to go with him and members of his family to Fire Station 6 on Oak Street on Toledo’s East Side.

While interacting with the friendly and dedicated firefighters, we talked about their lives on the job. They related how the current narcotic/heroin issue is a frequent basis for calls and EMS runs.

Phil Moline, a firefighter/paramedic at #16, explained the use of Narcan, also known as Naloxone, as a medication that can reverse heroin, fentanyl (or other opioid) overdoses by overcoming the opioids effect on the brain and restoring breathing. It works rapidly, in under 10 minutes, and has been used safely for 40 years.

A campaign, started this past May, by the Ohio Departments of Health and of Mental Health and Addiction Services seeks to raise awareness of opiate and other drug overdoses, while encouraging people to obtain Narcan (primarily in spray form, and available at the county health department and local pharmacies) to use in case of an overdose of a family member or friend.

Signs of heroin, fentanyl or other narcotic drug overdose, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), are: n Fingernails and lips having a blue color n Face being very pale and or clammy n Body going limp n Vomiting or gurgling noises n Being unable to speak or wake up n Breathing and heartbeat becoming very slow n Not responding to rubbing knuckles on sternum or under nose.

EX

SAMHSA recommends, if you suspect that a person has overdosed on narcotics such as heroin or fentanyl, calling 911 before or while administering Narcan.

One of the disturbing trends in the community that Moline has witnessed is drug users holding Narcan parties, when a group of people get together to use opiates, while designating one individual to remain drug free to administer Narcan if an overdose occurs. However, people often have a false sense of security with the use of Narcan, and may leave the overdosing individual alone after helping them cope initially. The medication, lasting only a short time, can allow the user to slip into another overdose. Overdosed users should be taken to a hospital emergency room to fully recover from the overdose.

If you suspect that friends or loved ones use heroin and other opiates it is advisable to have Narcan available and to know how to administer it.

Don’t Skirt the Issue - Help Fundraiser Raising Money for Housing

By Pat Nowak In Northwest Ohio, heroin and opioid deaths are skyrocketing. The situation in our own community is among the worst in the United States with nearly 300 deaths expected this year due to overdoses. This crisis is affecting people across all ages, ethnicities, and classes; it does not discriminate.

The Lucas County Sheriff ’s Department, Lucas County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, Toledo Lucas County Health Department, IHeart Media, 13ABC, Lamar Outdoor Advertising, Walker Funeral Home, MLiving Magazine, City Paper and The Chamber Partnership are banding together to fight this epidemic through a major initiative called Help with Heroin,(www. helpwithheroin.com).

However there is a severe shortage of resources in NW Ohio to beat this epidemic. That is why Help with Heroin, along with Zepf Center, is launching a major fundraiser “Don’t Skirt the Issue – Help” on Saturday, October 29th. All proceeds will go towards developing housing specifically for mothers, allowing them to continue working on their recovery without having to be separated from their children, which is the #1 reason why women leave treatment. These women will also have access to community resources and develop support systems.

“Don’t Skirt the Issue – Help” will be an evening of music, friends and fun! The event will take place at Maumee Bay Brewing Company and feature a fashion show with clothing

Trina Meadows, committee member of the Zepf center fundraiser, models an iconic piece for the event.

from Ragazza, Amy’s Alley, Elegant Rags, Vivian Kate and Sophia Lustig worn by Starbound Models. There will be a live skirt auction and grazing from area restaurants, Ciao, Maumee Bay Brewing, Treo, LaScola, Beirut and Manhatten’s. Tickets are priced at $50.00. Emcees include Melissa Voetsch - 13 ABC, Meaghan Mick -92.5 KISS FM and Fred LeFebvre 1370 WSPD. Women are asked to wear their favorite skirt that tells a “story” and relive the memories that wearing it brings back to them. Men are also welcome to wear their favorite skirts,

however, most will have misplaced them, so a favorite shirt will do - the event is for everyone!

This year’s hard working committee inc;udes: Sally Goligoski,Joanna Koenigsecker, Laura Glover, Katy Walker, Lynne Saad, Candy Baker, Robin Libbe, Karen Freiberger, Lori Smith, Sandy Roberts, Cy Dunlap, Trina Meadows, Maggie Dame, Cheryl Johnson, Cassie Roman, Terri Barricklow, Cathy Carroll. You can help by becoming a sponsor, donor or purchasing tickets.

6pm Saturday, October 29.

Coach Brian Fuller with all star team mates

How to watch and play sports by the rules

Teaching respect and modeling responsible behavior for athletes starts at the top

By Tom Konecny Youth sports may seem to showcase athletics in their simplest, most unpretentious form, but those sporting contests can also be filled with childish, immature, self-absorbed behavior – and sometimes, that can even be the actions of the kids.

While our area boasts wonderful opportunities to compete and to have fun for children, adults play a key part in the results. Having a suitable code of conduct that teaches respect and models responsible behavior for athletes is paramount to success.

Parks & rec doing their part

Local parks and recreation departments have been doing their part, employing a code of conduct of their own, or through an outside party. The City of Toledo works through the National Alliance for Youth Sports, located in West Palm Beach, Fla., to offer materials and training. In extreme cases, if a situation is beyond their control, staff and referees are encouraged to call 911, according to Shawn Sobel, coordinator, Toledo Division of Parks, Recreation and Forestry.

Sobel believes a combination of the formal code, in addition to social media, has improved youth sports now and for the long run.

“I don’t know if (the problem is occurring) less but you hear about it less, maybe because of social media,” he said. “(Parents/spectators) are more subdued than they used to be. There’s always a chance they could get caught on a camera of a cell phone.”

In Rossford, the code and how it’s handled is dependent on the sport, according to Toby Ledesma, Recreation Director. All of its younger-aged activities – preschool and earlier – have rec employees present at all practices and events. In other cases where staff is not on hand, Rossford conducts a parents meeting where guardians and players read and sign official documentation regarding behavior. It also offers training for referees on how to handle irate parents and participants.

Coaches can do plenty to help

Although it doesn’t force participants or parents to read and sign anything at the time of registration, the Sylvania Recreation District has worked with the Posi-

14

tive Coaching Alliance for the past three years to provide coaches with workshops and information. Its intent is to nip any potential issues in the bud by creating a positive culture with coaches.

Mike McMahon, Sylvania Rec Operations Manager, finds a more aggressive nature among elite or travel teams – be it parents, grandparents, or coaches – mostly due to the high expectations and extra competitive talent level.

McMahon’s department has already witnessed some heated parent confrontations which became public via local media, and although he believes the problem has worsened, he also feels the topic is more in the forefront.

“It is a hot topic these days,” McMahon said.

Mike McMahon “Things like that do happen.”

As with life in general, at sporting events parents and grandparents can serve as the strongest role models – and it involves no training, no formal written code, nor any set of instructions.

“When you boil it down, it’s just common sense,” Sobel said. “We had parents yell at their kids from the stands and practically belittle them, and they cried.”

McMahon contends that the best way to prevent over-the-top behavior and foster respect is through offering the right recreation model.

“The best way to combat (problem behavior) is to provide an atmosphere and program that really doesn’t allow room for that kind of action and behavior,” he said. “At the younger ages we truly do everything to keep it noncompetitive. We keep it fun and put out a program that focuses on keeping kids active.”

Dini ng out

Not just breakfast and lunch Grumpy’s is an institution

By Jeff Glick Those of us who have been in and around downtown for a while remember the quirky sandwich shop on Broadway in the Horn Hardware building. The line was generally long and the faces familiar. The move to Michigan near Washington was short-lived; the long narrow space leaves me with memories of the din of conversation and kitchen noises, and the familiar faces remained. Now, and for almost 16 years, Grumpy’s has been nestled in the Warehouse District at 34 Huron St., equidistant from the ballpark and the Erie St. Market.

It has a light and airy feel with tall ceilings and brick walls adorned with art and some collectable knickknacks, harkening back to the quirkiness of its former Broadway incarnation. (Toledo’s Broadway, that is.)

Family history

Jeff Horn, along with his wife, Connie, maintained the eatery, working with their daughters, Jennifer Shemak and Sara Bauman. Grumpy was, reportedly, a reference to Horn’s demeanor. And while I do not recall him as cranky or abrupt, as a casual visitor I never saw him effusive or bubbly either. In 2010 the Horns passed ownership to their daughters Jennifer and Sara, and grandson, Dustin Hostetler, who was involved until 2013. Changes have been few, but they are welcomed. They’ve added breakfast hours and expanded their reputation to now encompass carryout and catering.

The menu is inventive for both breakfast (8 to 10:30am) and lunch (10:30am to 2 pm) — weekdays only. If you are hankering for eggs and brunchy items, you had better arrive before 10:30; they are serious

BON APPE EAT

about the cut-off time for the first meal. But make an effort to get there for the early meal as the offerings are interesting and uncommon. Definitely try the Magpie, with its toasted sourdough served with pesto, roasted tomatoes and two eggs, over easy ($8) or the world-class morning buns, billed as cinnamony, buttery, sweet and flaky ($5), along with a variety of other egg dishes and wraps.

Serving a friendly variety

feta and fresh parmesan, all tossed with poppy seed dressing and topped with croutons and bacon bits. I ordered the small, which was plenty. The larger version would require an appetite more ambitious than mine.

For dessert, the cookies are as good at the table as they are to nibble on on the way back home or to the office. Either way, they are a must. Remember the cookies your mom or grandma made? These are similar but they don’t skimp on the nuts, raisins and chocolate chips, depending on their breed.

Don’t let the trip downtown deter you. Grumpy’s is a short drive from anywhere in town and parking is both easy and close by. Make it a point to stop in and expect the place named Grumpy’s to make you smile.

Breakfast 8-10:30 am Monday-Friday, 10:30 am-2:00 pm Monday-Friday, deliveries also available, 34 S. Huron, Toledo, 419-241-6728, food truck locations at grumpys.net.

The places exudes a friendliness and a feeling of security, what with the kitchen staff warding over the dining room from their loft perched several stairs above. The service is pleasant, always with confidence in both the product and the staff ’s ability to meet the diner’s needs.

The quintessential breakfast-lunch crossover menu item is the Monte Cristo ($11), an egg-battered sweet French toast sandwich with ham and Swiss that can satisfy the breakfast craving–even after 10:30. Attractive on the plate, it has sandwich menu company with various grilled chicken, tuna, Grumpy’s Carrot cold sandwiches and burgers, many with Cabbage Slaw names calling back to the eatery’s roots at Horn Hardware.

Moon Lake Magnificence Doug and Sue Beat lost the auction but gained a new home down the street when they built their 6400 sq ft. on three lots with Mack Moon and Gary Zachrich. The home is their regular, vacation and retirement home all in one, built with ADA specifications and is absolutely stunning.

Doug took a hands-on approach with the architectural elements while Sue decorated the home with some assistance from Cathi Lloyd. The huge floral arrangements gracing the home, both inside and out, were handcrafted by Sue, who keeps a room just for her hobby.

Variegated shades of green are used in the foyer and living areas, artfully paired with black and white. A state of the art kitchen, sunny dining area and abundance of bedrooms make the space perfect for the Beat’s children and grandchildren to come and visit.

The basement is one-of-a-kind featuring another kitchen, a theater, pool table and private spaces to hide all of the toys and games. The outdoors is spectacular featuring an infinity pool from CC Pools, outdoor dining areas, bath house and patio space to host a party of 200.

Doug who sells new and used industrial electric equipment and Sue met at the University of Toledo as freshmen. This is their dream come true home and they certainly have turned that dream into a picturesque reality.

Theater The Play’s the Thing…for Local Seniors Lights, Camera, Action!

By Christine A. Holliday Shakespeare once wrote, “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players,” to describe the human race as we go through life. Excited to partake in local community performance roles, many area seniors enjoy being a part of theatrical productions.

The Toledo area has nearly two dozen community theater groups, many of them decades old, with casts, crews, and support staff made up of community volunteers. Some of the oldest groups (like the Village Players and the Toledo Repertoire Theatre) have their own buildings, while others (including the Oregon Community Theatre, the Genoa Civic Theatre and Literary Society) partner with local schools, churches, or civic groups, using their gymnasiums or auditoriums for performances.

Finding a role in the community

The challenge is to select well-known shows and then remain faithful to the original stories, with new twists to attract audiences.

Those involved see their participation as a labor of love and an opportunity to do something creative and entertaining. Susan McCann, a board member at the Toledo Repertoire Theatre, is a typical senior participant, she explains, “I am a social creature, so I love giving three months of my life to a production. The players and the crew become almost like family during that period, comprised of people of all ages.”

McCann has worked in a variety of roles, from serving on tech crews (“so much fun”) to prop master to actor, to her most recent position as Stage Manager for the Rep’s A Chorus Line (which ran June 3-19, 2016). Her age is not an issue, “The younger people don’t think of me as older— maybe just more experienced. I’m just one member of the company.”

Reed Steele is the President of the Oregon Community Theatre, which offers a summer workshop program for kids. “We collaborate with the Oregon City Schools,” he notes, ‘and bring culture and the arts to our community. Without culture, arts and music, a community is just a place to live. We find that those working on a show quickly become like family, all dedicated to doing their best to present great entertainment.”

Changing with the scenes and seasons

as well as a way to make new friends, while socializing with old ones. “Groups who worked on a show 20 years ago still get together to have dinner on a regular basis. They still have the feeling of belonging. Others have had the same volunteer jobs for decades.”

His age gave Chuck Kiskadden, 63, some pause when he was cast as Karl the Giant in Big Fish, produced by the Perrysburg Musical Theatre.

“When I heard I had to perform on stilts, I wondered if I could do the part. The director assured me that I could, so I decided to challenge myself. I am rehearsing in full pads and a helmet until I get used to the stilts— I am having a blast!”

Ron Davis and Reed Steele in My Son Pinocchio

Diana Waugh

The Waterville Playshop has presented shows since 1951.

Diana Waugh, one of several senior volunteers, admits she loves being on stage. “I feed off the response of the audience. There is something about immediate feedback that keeps me coming back. I’ve always enjoyed playing “older” roles, but not because I am old. Now, I can limp for real!”

She notes, “Every performance, we get another chance to be creative and entertain people. The whole experience is a lot of fun, and a great way to learn about people.”

Senior citizens make up a large portion of the volunteer base at the Village Players. PR Director, Chris Jagodzinski, sees that seniors find working on the shows as a way of “giving back” to their communities,

30

Helping out behind the scenes

Gary Miller says the Perrysburg Musical Theatre keeps him young, echoing the sentiments of many senior actors, set builders, and crew members. “The whole experience is fun and challenging,” he explains.

“It is a great thing to work with people of all ages— especially the very talented, young actors. It is great to have community support, and have everyone view us as a great cultural activity.”

Despite the large number of local community theater, backers and participants have some worries about the future of this art form as the costs of producing a show continue to rise, forcing a rise in ticket prices, all while the number of other entertainment choices continue to increase. The Village Players’ Jagodzinski worries that economic conditions in the Toledo area have lead to a decrease in the number of people who can afford to see live theater. “A city like Toledo really needs to promote the arts for what it offers— culture, connectedness, and entertainment,” he insists. “We try to keep our tickets reasonably priced. At some shows we do outreach programs, like collecting food for local food banks. We want Toledoans to have a place to see subjects not shown on TV, and to provide opportunities to be on the stage or crew— an opportunity to be creative in front of friends and neighbors.”

Shakespeare, himself a big fan of community theater, wrote parts for many senior actors, including Gratiano’s observation about aging in The Merchant of Venice: “With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.” Local seniors enjoy earning wrinkles, on stage or behind the scenes, at local community theaters.

All of the theater groups mentioned here belong to the Ohio Community Theatre Association. Information, schedules, and OCTAsponsored activities featuring local companies, can be found at ohiocommunitytheatre.org.
