A recent study by the Greater Ohio Policy Center found that NeighborWorks Toledo Region contributed more than $43 million to the area’s economy between 2014 and 2018. NeighborWorks, a nonprofit corporation (founded in 1976 under the name Neighborhood Housing Services of Toledo), is a group dedicated to the restoration and revitalization of Toledo neighborhoods, assisting over 1,100 families in the purchase or renovation of their homes. The Greater Ohio study found NeighborWorks’ efforts have created or helped sustain over 300 jobs every year in the Toledo area.

A milestone for the Milestone Awards The accomplishments and contributions of women in Northwest Ohio will be recognized at the YWCA’s 25th Annual Milestone Awards, held on March 12. The event, recognizing women’s achievements in seven areas, showcases these 2020 honorees: Patricia Levey, Arts; Sharon Gaber, Education; Amanda Bryant-Friedrich, Sciences; Mona Al-Hayani, Volunteerism; Amy Hall, Business; Judge Connie Zemmelman, Government; and Wendi Huntley, Social Services. 11:30am.

Over a decade after the Toledo Sports Arena was razed, work finally began in December to convert the space into the long-planned Glass City Metropark. Being constructed by the Lathrop Co., the new park will include camping, a pavilion, a sledding hill, connections to a lengthy trail system and more. Glass City Metropark, scheduled to open in the fall of 2020, is part of an effort to revitalize the area, including the nearby Marina Lofts. The National Park Service recently agreed to contribute $750,000 to the project.
Everybody into the vanpool! TARTA recently announced a partnership with Commute with Enterprise to give workers at participating Toledo businesses a new transportation option— the Toledo vanpool. The program will give individuals without easy access to public transit an economical way to commute in one of TARTA’s Share-AVans. A grant from the Federal Transit Administration allows TARTA to cover 50% of the total cost of the vanpool. Commute with Enterprise is working to enroll businesses in the program. —JM

It’s a Jeep thing
For over 70 years, Jeep and Toledo have been almost synonymous. On December 17, plans were officially unveiled for a $40 million interactive museum dedicated to the Jeep, to open in 2022. “The Jeep Experience,” is expected to have interactive features such as an outdoor track, though further specifics have yet to be confirmed. A new nonprofit was organized to make the museum a reality, with a group of community organizations leading the effort. The location of The Jeep Experience has yet to be determined.

Profiles
I have always wanted to... Jog over the Mackinac Bridge. I did walk across it with my son. What do you admire in people? A nice smile.
King Fred
Still blazing trails at 85
What was your first job? Working as a laborer for Sun Oil.
By Ila Ramone
Your proudest accomplishment? Raising three successful children.
Known as a man who chases his goals, Sylvania’s Fred King has over 100 running races under his belt. The most recent race came as a total surprise to him. “My face must have lit up!” Fred recalls. Fred’s nursing team and family collaborated with Run Toledo and Dave’s Performance Footgear to enter Fred into the Miracle on Main street 5k, held in downtown Sylvania, last December. Fred, at 85, was the event’s guest of honor, tasked with being the starter for the race— “I got to blow the air horn!” Fred recalls. But with Fred snugly bundled up, nurses and family members walked with him along the 5k course, greeted enthusiastically by the crowd along the way. As spectators waved and cheered their encouragement, Fred, his eyes sparkling, was “excited to be in the mix,” calling the experience the “highlight of my year.” At the end of the race, Fred received awards and a crown and was named ‘King of the 5k’.
What is your pet peeve? When people say “I’ll be right with you”. What is something that most people don’t know about you? I have a letter signed by Judge Judy at home. What are the words you live by? Loving, kindness, helpful, honest, sharing. What advice would you give to the younger you? Go to church and be more active.
Running, a life long love
Favorite movie? The original Star Wars. When it first came out it was revolutionary.
Fred discovered his passion for running in high school. As a part of a physical education class, Fred ran the 100-yard dash. He did so well that the coach approached him and asked if he would like to join the track team. Later in life, Fred took up competitive running as a way to spend time with his daughter, Diane. He did not begin running races until after he was 50 years old, but now has competed in over 100 races, evidenced by many plaques, trophies and awards. Fred, for many years, has been a member of the Toledo Road Runners, a close-knit group of runners that encourages and challenges each other. These days, Fred spends his time with family and friends. He enjoys playing bingo, attending social gatherings and listening to live music. “I even have a little beer sometimes. I share one bottle with two friends,” he said, eyes twinkling with goodhumored mischief.

Looking for
INE L ON 5 Important Tips and Tricks
Know your deal-breakers and stick to them. Don’t
1. underestimate the importance
of deal breakers. Give serious thought to what kind of relationship you want, the type of person you’re looking for and what behaviors or viewpoints are unacceptable. Once you know your deal breakers, don’t ignore them. Too many times I cut some slack and let things pass, thinking things might work out. They never did. I wasted a lot of time ignoring the red flags that popped up when my deal breakers were staring me in the face.

Vet the candidates.
When you start online dating,be prepared to spend some time weeding out fakers, posers and scammers. I hate to say this, but it’s true. As online dating has increased in popularity over the years, so have the number of sketchy characters that populate the dating pool. In the old days, you’d come across some losers and hound dogs here and there, but today, what you find online can sometimes be offensive and even scary. Be careful and don’t rule out running a background check, if need be. If you have doubts, check it out, or step away. Trust your instincts.
11 Perfect Dates
Show your love on Valentine’s (or any other) Day By Kyle Alison Cubbon
Valentine’s Day gets an unfair rap. While many lament the consumerism associated with the “Hallmark Holiday’”— yet buy up discounted candy on February 15— we have a sweet spot for any day that inspires us to shower our loved ones with affection, chocolate and flowers. Fortunately, romance in Toledo doesn’t require a seasonal excuse, so to try out these date ideas, on Valentine’s Day, or any day.
Swing by Sofo’s Italian Market (5400 Monroe St., shopsofos.com) to pick up pizza makings and a bottle of wine. Cut the crust into a heart shape and cover with your love’s favorite toppings. Pop the cork on a bottle of your favorite vino and enjoy each other! On the first and third Thursday of each month, seniors shopping at Sofo’s can enjoy samples and save 10% off.

Email and phone first.
I highly recommend exchanging some emails then having a phone call or two before going on a date. Many times I made the mistake of quickly agreeing to meet, only to regret it later. I learned how valuable the email and phone stage could be. Red flags popped up. Dealbreakers were revealed, and I was lucky enough to avoid going out on a date that surely would have ended badly. On the flip side, don’t drag out communication too long. If someone hesitates to meet, it might be a setup for catfishing (when someone uses a fake identity to take advantage of another). If someone refuses to meet, move on.
Work the system.
Online dating sites make it easy for people to get to know one another. Take advantage of it. You can flirt, like, wink, show interest, and give thumbs up to a photo. You can text or talk anonymously. You can email and find out if someone reads your message, or you can peruse profiles without anyone knowing. No matter what your preference, the important thing is to get out there and work it, baby. Be proactive, but don’t be annoying. Too many times I’ve been blasted by those who think it’s cute to tag every photo with a flirt or wink. I never appreciated the flirt harassers and didn’t hesitate to use another nifty feature found on dating sites, the “block” button. Don’t think twice about blocking those who are aggressive or hateful.
Be a dating badass. I realize I sound harsh
5.
and rigid with my tough advice, but I know from experience. I spent more hours than I care to admit giving men the benefit of the doubt, ignoring their bad behavior, hoping for the best, all to no avail. For my peace of mind, I learned to stick to my guns, quickly dismissing those who didn’t rise above the rest. I wouldn’t hesitate to give a guy the boot the second I realized the chemistry wasn’t there, or we didn’t have enough in common, or he was rude, or didn’t call when he said he would. I know it sounds like small stuff, but it’s not. Manners are important. And the small stuff happens all the time. That’s why you have to be ruthless and keep your standards high. By being a dating badass, I found the good guys stood out pretty quickly, especially one named Vince. After dating a year, we moved in together, and I am happy to report, it seems to be a perfect match.

Giving Save Money While You Help Save the Planet By Karen Telleen-Lawton I’ve prided myself on how little we toss into the trash compared to our recycling bin, following the rules on the lid. We pack cloth grocery bags, reuse and recycle plastic bags and often remember to bring our own reusable plastic containers for restaurant leftovers. Our pantry contains more glass than plastic food containers, and we use bar soap to spare the earth yet one more source of plastic. I figure it’s a win-win: I save money buying less packaging material, and the earth is spared from the disposal of a little single use plastic. My pride took a major hit, however, when our local curbside recycler’s new rules came out recently. Forget the little numbers in the triangle on plasMon-Sat: 10AM-8PM Sun: 11AM-6PM
tic containers. Plastics are no longer recycled, except for caps-on empty beverage bottles, rigid plastic greater than six inches, empty laundry detergent bottles, plastic flowerpots, trays, and toys and large plastic tubs and buckets.
A decades old story rewritten
Apparently, the recycling story we told ourselves for decades was not really working— at least not anymore. Evidence has been piling up, literally, for years about gyres of ocean garbage. Back in 1997, these gyres, composed mostly of microplastics, were first discovered. China and other Asian countries are no longer willing to take our recycling or garbage. Since 45% of the garbage gyre is said to originate from Asia, it seems likely that while we paid to ship our trash halfway across the world, has slowly made its way into the ocean. Scripps oceanographer Jennifer Brandon and her co-authors recently analyzed a core of sediment excavated from a mile off the U.S. West Coast. Since the 1940s, the quantity of microplastic in each sediment layer has doubled every 15 years. While those core samples don’t analyze the plas1552 Reynolds Rd. Maumee, OH 43537

tics’ origin, other studies indicate that 80% of microplastics in the ocean gyres come from land-based activities: tipped or animal-raided trash cans, streets and landfills. Despite the fact that the trash was not originally littered or irresponsibly discarded, but rather blown or strewn into rivers, sewers, or the ocean. Twenty percent of the ocean floating plastic trash is ship-based— items that are thrown or lost overboard. Despite efforts to limit the floating ocean recyclable trash, it’s still arriving from points far and near. Texans Linda Maraniss and Kathy O’Hara began an international clean-up day over 30 years ago, based on work they’d done for the Ocean Conservancy. Last fall’s Annual International Coastal Cleanup Day involved over a million volunteers covering 22,301 miles to gather 23,333,816 pounds of trash. The top trash item is always cigarette butts, with over 5 million cigarette butts picked up during the 2019 clean-up.
Hit at home by new rules
All this hit home for me when I had to toss #1 and #2 plastic food containers into the trash. My kitchen trash was full, but I still had one more day before the weekly trash collection. I called the recycling company about the new recycling rules. In American cities and towns all over the country, new rules reflect what trash haulers can sell now for reuse in making recycled consumer products. The reality is, if they can’t make money on recycling, then it’s trash. Which is logical. Part of the problem with recycling is food contamination and the difficulty of separating mixed articles like wax-coated cardboard. An important factor is that products made from recycled materials are not as strong and thus can’t be re-recycled.

Filling the landfill
I’ve come to the realization that much of what we thought we spared from the landfill, was actually ending up there. Handwringing aside, what are we to do? On an individual level, the solution is straightforward: make less trash. We need to provide our own reusable containers as much as possible— for carrying groceries, restaurant takeout, and all purchases. When we toss something into the trash, we need to consider that it might end up in the ocean. The good news is that reducing and reusing packaging also saves us money.
China and other Asian countries are no longer willing to take our recycling or garbage. Since 45% of the ocean garbage gyre is said to originate from Asia, it seems likely that while we paid to ship our trash halfway across the world, it has slowly made its way into the ocean. Demand businesses changes
We need to demand more (meaning, less) from businesses. If consumers demand it, businesses will rethink ways to package and will devise ways to reduce plastics in products and packaging. It’s not just the packaging, however. The market system, in its zeal to increase demand, works against the environment by encouraging ever-increasing consumption. Governments instead need to incentivize products that are environmental “goods” and penalize products that add to the waste stream, to not only reduce the strain on the environment, but also to save businesses money.

Retired...What Now? Exercise Your Brain
Continuing education during retirement By Kyle Alison Cubbon While adjusting to retirement, many become concerned that they are not exercising their brains. If we are not taking in new information, perhaps we are ‘dummying down.’ Accustomed to using our brains throughout our working years, we feel alive when taking in new information. There are, however, many options available which allow us to exercise the brain and to learn new information during retirement. Here is a sampling of educational opportunities for adults in the Toledo area. To love your brain, enroll in one of these classes. n Learn a language. Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church offers Greek language classes (holytrinitytoledo.com). Alliance Française de Toledo offers French classes (aftoledo.com). Spanish classes and instruction in other languages are available online. n Physical activity helps our brain. Learn to dance at Paulette’s Studio of Dance (419-654-3262). Or join Silver Sneakers, a program available to those receiving Social Security Retirement Benefits, and use the membership to go to a number of area gyms where you can attend land and water classes. n Be artsy or crafty. Use your brain to create. The Toledo Museum of Art offers art classes (toledomuseum.org). Crafts, pottery, and much more can be learned at the 577 Foundation in Perrysburg (577foundation. org). Hands-on studio and pottery classes are offered at Toledo Botanical Garden (metroparkstoledo.com), which also offers a winter learning series about our area’s natural and cultural history.

Health Is Butter Better?
Separating the good fats from the bad By Carrie Luger Slayback BUTTER! My new favorite food. It all started with a recipe for chard. My family reputation was that of an irritatingly healthy eater— olive oil, avocados, walnuts were my oils— until I picked a handful of chard from my garden. My chard recipe used a teaspoon of butter, a bit of olive oil, chopped garlic, hot red pepper flakes, chard and a fresh lemon squeeze. I melted the teaspoon of butter, plus oil in the pan, give a quick sauté to the garlic/ pepper flakes, added chard, squeezed lemon over chard and wilted it over medium heat. I ate the best chard of my long life. That teaspoon of butter influenced the flavor far beyond its quantity. Now I rub a cube of refrigerated butter on the bottom of my nonstick pan every time I saute, enriching every dish. So, what? Has my new butter habit already lodged in my arteries? No. I’ll tell you why later, but I’d better keep you reading because as much as you’d like the “healthy” butter question to be “yes,” or a “no,” the facts are more nuanced. Americans are in health trouble, approaching 40% obesity, 9.4% diabetic, and 46% hypertension. I’ll explain why a bit of butter won’t add to the above statistics, but I’d be irresponsible if I left you with the idea that butter’s just fine.
Butter is a fat, among other edible fats. Since the ‘80s, we’ve listened to “nutrition” messages touting no-fat or low-fat diets. Hungry Americans tossed out fats, replacing them with industry-labeled “healthy low-fat or fat-free foods.” “Yum, yum,” we said, as we ate through boxes of low-fat cookies and large servings of fat-free but highcarbohydrate, high-sugar, highly processed foods. Making one ingredient such as butterfat the villain misses the point, but it gave the food industry an opportunity to feed us a line of baloney. Take a look at these quick facts about fats. In a healthy diet, 20% to 35% of your total daily calories come from fat. Most fats are not bad, in moderate amounts, but sugar and refined carbohydrates, are. Harvard’s Lilian Cheung puts it this way: “Low-fat yogurt is loaded with sugar. We digest these refined carbohydrates and starches very quickly, causing an insulin spike.” Insulin stores fat and causes blood sugar to drop. Then we’re hungry again. Sugar highs and lows lead to overeating, weight gain. The risk of heart disease and diabetes follows.
16
A Look at Fats
Trans fats: The manufactured form of trans fat, known as partially hydrogenated oil, is found in packaged products, including cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers. Trans fat provides a longer shelf life, an advantage for retail sales, but adds to heart disease, a disadvantage to us. Saturated fats: Saturated fats, solid at room temperature, are found in red meat, skin-on chicken, whole milk products, butter and eggs, as well as palm and coconut oils. Saturated fat, which should account for less than 10% of your daily calories, according to some experts, raises your total cholesterol, can increase your LDL cholesterol, causing blockages of arteries and increasing heart disease risk. Unsaturated fats: Liquid at room temperature, unsaturated fats are considered the “healthy” fats because they help reduce the risk of high blood cholesterol levels. Unsaturated come in two primary forms, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. A caveat: Buy the best, least processed brands of these fats as possible. Most are highly processed, which reduces their “healthfulness,” become rancid quickly, and may contain large amounts of pesticides or preservatives. Polyunsaturated fats are found in corn, soybean, sunflower and flaxseed oils as well as walnuts, flax seeds, and fatty fish like tuna and salmon. Your body cannot make polyunsaturated fats, so you must get them through eating. They are needed for building cell membranes and covering nerves, blood clotting, muscle movement, and can help reduce cholesterol levels and stroke risk. They contribute vitamin E, an antioxidant vitamin lacking from most American diets.
www.mlivingnews.com
Monounsaturated fats are found in avocados, olive, canola and peanut oils as well as almonds, hazelnuts, pecans and other nuts. They can help with weight loss, reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and decrease inflammation. According to Harvard’ s/Brigham & Woman’s Nurses’ Health Study of 80,082 women, “replacing a mere 5% of saturated fat calories with unsaturated fat would reduce the risk of heart disease by a whopping 42%.” Finally, about butter. Don’t eat the cube. Go ahead enjoy small amounts. Saturated fat found in butter and lard does increase “bad” LDL cholesterol, but it also increases “good” HDL cholesterol, so moderate butter intake is neutral. Of course, butter is high in calories. Polyunsaturated fats extracted from nuts and vegetables are too, but they can be beneficial. Do you want to be healthy? Eat real food. Skip the middle grocery aisles filled with trans fats created to extend the shelf life of pre-packaged junk. Stick mostly to products sold on the perimeter of the store: fruit, vegetables, meats in moderation and dairy products, including butter. And stock up on polyunsaturated fats, which are protective to the heart, like nuts, seeds, fish and vegetable oils. Remember, Julia Child named the one ingredient she could not do without— “Butter!” she exclaimed in her high voice. “YOU GO, JULIA!” I’d say, but add two words: “In moderation.” Carrie Luger Slayback is an awardwinning teacher and champion marathoner. She writes on health and fitness from a personal perspective.

Dini ng out On the Registry A true bistro experience in downtown Toledo By Kyle Alison Cubbo Visit Registry Bistro for a treat to start 2020. You will be glad that you did. There is something extraordinary about this restaurant and event space created by local chef Erika Rapp and her mother, Vickie, who runs the front of the house. The restaurant’s aesthetic, modern and industrial, yet open and personal, is warm and inviting. The walls are adorned with work by local artists, which rotates periodically. Currently, on display are canvasses of huge birds, by Robert Vanivelt. Wooden tables are simply, but precisely, arranged with plenty of room in between to facilitate private conversation. The small bar, located in the corner of the dining room, concocts exciting, curious cocktails and mocktails that are as fun to watch being made as they are to drink. And here’s a tip, Registry’s happy hour, from 4-6pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, boasts a special menu with $5 cocktails to pair with assorted nibbles.
Locally sourced and unique ingredients
The food— including appetizers, meals and desserts— is excellent. Chef Rapp demonstrates her talent and experience by selecting menu items that showcase locally sourced and unusual ingredients. We enjoyed the Wood-
Grilled Moroccan Goat Shank with Figs, served with oil-cured olives balanced on goat cheese carnaroli rice risotto ($26). The shank was enormous with a taste that, for the inexperienced, is reminiscent of lamb. Our table’s favorite meal was the Maumee Bay Brewing Company Root Beer Brined Heritage Pork Chop, accompanied by a bacon biscuit, smoked apples and caramelized pork belly ($26). The chop, perfectly cooked with beautiful grill marks, arrived nestled in bacon and apple goodness, and was delicious. A variety of appetizers are offered, but if you only order one, make that the Fried Cashews with Herbs de Provence Salt ($6). The dish is served hot and Marvelous! (Yes, that’s a capital M). The dinner menu, which can change regularly, will please everyone. The inviting selections range from the Meatloaf Burger, with house-made bacon jam on brioche ($13), to the Bucatini Carbonara ($18), to the Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Bone Marrow Butter ($36). Desserts, prepared with the same thoughtfulness as the rest of the menu, are perfectly-portioned as smart, smaller sizes, anticipating that you will probably be full. We tried the Mexican chocolate cup ($6) and pineapple cobbler ($6) and ate every morsel— just the right amount of sweet to end our meal.
Our House or Yours...
Attention to every dining detail
All menu items are marked appropriately— vegan, vegetarian, glutenfree, dairy-free and nut-free— to benefit those with dietary preferences or requirements, and are mindful of a variety of needs and tastes. Registry Bistro supports our community with educational and artistic events in their space. Their website (registrybistro.com) is updated frequently and provides information about upcoming events. Sign up for their Craft Cocktail Workshops, offered in February, March and April. Our Registry Bistro experience was lovely. We enjoyed the evening and were pleased to be tended to so expertly by the staff. Our suggestion? Make a plan to visit. Open 4-9:30pm, Tuesday-Friday. 4-10:30pm, Saturday.

A brighter color scheme, complete with white oak floors, a subway tile backsplash, and updated appliances, is a design that brings the whole family together for when dinner is being prepared.
Lindsey feels that formal dining rooms are antiquated, so she opted to remove this style for a modernized, communal open-concept kitchen.
Where the Heart Is
This is what the kitchen looked like when her family first moved in.
The heart of Lindsey Mahoney’s home is in the kitchen
When Lindsey Mahoney purchased her home, she knew she needed to make quite a few changes. Though she was charmed by its vintage motif, her goal was to create a space that reflected a modern family’s lifestyle, so she set to work gutting the kitchen, putting in new flooring and creating a sleek design that any homeowner would envy.
Lindsey Mahoney
The goal of Lindsey’s most recent renovation project was to keep those quaint details, the ones that allowed her to see the home’s potential, while modernizing it with an open concept kitchen. Let this beforeand-after account inspire you to follow your own renovation aspirations.
Visit Lindsey’s website, buildingbluebird.com, for details on how she flipped her kitchen, her From the Nest podcast, and a list of services she provides as a realtor and interior designer.
