If your local funeral home closed tomorrow, what impact would your community experience? Several studies have shown that when you work with an independent, locally-owned funeral home, rather than a nationally-owned business, more money continues into the economic base of the community. Local funeral homes donate more than twice as much to local non-profit organizations and local events. Walker Funeral Homes has been in business since 1933. For over 85 years they have been a community asset and owners Gary and Keith Walker’s philosophy is to be personally involved in the communities they serve. Walker Funeral homes are often an important part of their communities’ heritage. Their funeral homes have helped shape the development of the areas they are in, both as a business and as a supporter of local causes and charities. Keith Walker is the catalyst for Help with Heroin, a partnership with the Zepf Center and the media to bring attention to the growing opioid problem in NW Ohio. His dedication to the project earned him an award from The National Council for Behavioral Health for his efforts. Additionally, Walker sponsors senior and family events, assists in schools projects, supports military, police, fire and ems services as well as partners on many local events. Walker Funeral Homes, as a locally grown business, attracts and retains the best funeral directors from around NW Ohio. Every staff associate is expected and empowered to serve their customers well. Their goal is to instill confidence with customers that will ensure that they are satisfied. Many of the staff has an affinity for community service. They are active volunteers and appreciate the time to help others in need. Chances are you are unaware of how a locally owned funeral home is more important to your community than you might think. Every day they take action through good business empowerment and community well-being. Walker Funeral Homes continues to be a local community force.

Volunteers needed for Helen Keller Archive Main Library renovation
After 20 years without any major renovations, the Toledo Lucas County Main Library downtown is readying for some major work this year. To better serve the community, key features of the renovation include relocating the cafe, gallery and gift shop, technology updates, creating new spaces to foster cultural, educational and economic development and expanding multi-function space. The library will host three forums — May 2nd, 30th, and June 28th — to gather community input at the Main Library’s McMaster Center. Renovation work is slated to last one year, beginning after Labor Day and ending in September 2019. During the renovation work, the downtown library will be closed. Main Library, 325 Michigan St. 419-259-5200, toledolibrary.org.

Schedel Gardens’ Foundation shakes things up
There is something about spring that makes everything feel fresh and new, so it is fitting the Schedel Gardens’ Foundation is making some major changes with new, positive energy. In an effort to guarantee a bright future for the 17acre Schedel Arboretum and Gardens post-recession and in response to federal tax policy changes, the foundation appointed three new directors to the board: Dean Monske, president and CEO of the Regional Growth Partnership, Lane Williamson, managing partner of the Eastman & Smith law firm and Paul Toth, President and CEO of the ToledoLucas Port Authority. According to Board President Phil Rudolph Jr., the appointment of the three new board members makes the board’s “sphere of influence far-reaching.”

Her life is a continuous song by Pat Nowak Kelly Broadway (and her last name provides a hint) is a vocalist, comedienne, musician, entertainer, instructor, and actress and, when you hear her sing, you will agree she is absolutely awesome. She is a seasoned performer with musical vocal styles ranging from her first love, jazz, to musical theatre, pop/rock and classical.

Her career has encompassed 18 years traveling and performing for Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Cunard Cruise Lines as a main stage headliner along with being the front woman of a jazz quartet. Most recently, Kelly was a featured vocalist onboard the Queen Mary 2.

I have always wanted to... perform stand-up comedy. What trait do you admire in others? People who can follow through. What is your pet peeve? When someone I know ends the conversation with “take care.” I know it’s a common phrase but I feel it denotes an impersonal distancing. I never use it. What is something most people don’t know about you? I have the ability to see the attributes of people that indicate their strengths. Words you live by: ‘ Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.’ What is your advice for your younger you? Don’t second guess myself. My younger self many times acted on other’s advice. Who is someone you’d like to meet? My younger self, and I’d set her straight. What Inspires you? Seeing happy faces while I’m entertaining.

1777 Spencer St., 419-382-1000. Accessquip.com Making your home easier and more accessible for the people in your life is one of the best ways to upgrade your living area. One of our favorite options is to install a motorized chair stair lift, which makes staircases easier for those with limited mobility. Stair lifts are versatile and can be customized for any stairway, whether straight or curved. Wireless control allows for operation at either end of the stairs, and an automatically rechargeable battery ensures safe help.

Family owned and operated since 1976, Bowerman offers solutions for carpet, vinyl, tile, wood, flooring, laminate, and window treatments. Take a look around your home and check to see which rooms need new carpeting. Typically, carpet lasts 5-15 years, with the range dependent on quality, padding, and usage. Determine if your carpet needs a replacement by checking for foul odors, the condition of your carpet padding, mold, stains, matting, and general aesthetics— if it no longer matches your style, maybe an upgrade will tie the whole room together.

Sure, a “Welcome” mat is a great way to make guests feel comfortable, but a beautiful and inviting front door is the perfect way to boldly show visitors your personal style. Consider the message you want to send and what look is the best fit. Would you prefer a classic style door to fit your traditional lifestyle? A Craftsman style door, made from wood or fiberglass, to show your love for the outdoors? Perhaps a sleek, contemporary and colorful door— in a bright red or calming green— would highlight your exciting personality? Look to Dunright Building Services, a locally owned and operated business specializing in the installation of doors, siding and windows, for advice.

Travel Summer Travel Make your plans now By Pat Nowak Living in the Midwest provides some great summer travel options. Sunny days with great temperatures, access to Lake Erie, theme parks and sporting events are numerous, allowing you great one to two day travel options. Toss in great food and a summer calendar filled with concerts, ethnic and outdoor events and you have the best way to spend May through September in NW Ohio and SE Michigan.
Staying close to home
Locally, there are a multitude of local parks and recreation spots available for all manner of enjoyment. Add to that, local parks in every suburb and you can spend a leisurely day in different outdoor environs with your friends several times a week. The Toledo Museum of Art is always a favorite and taking in a Mud Hens or Tigers game is a must. If money is a problem, there are little league games galore and, who knows, you might see a future major league star pitching now in Perrysburg or Sylvania. Golf Courses abound in NW Ohio and most have senior rates. Kayaking, pickle ball and senior sports leagues allow for inexpensive fun. The Toledo Zoo, Cedar Point, Sauder Village, Kalahari Resorts, Greenfield Village and Schedel Gardens are great day trips. Many have activities and points of interests for seniors and grandparents traveling with children.
Around the state
Have you thought about visiting Columbus and the center of our Ohio government, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland or the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton - all are just a short drive away. In fact there many day trips to museums and Ohio villages and homes across the state. A good way to navigate travel is through the website www.ohiotraveler.com - it provides a wealth of knowledge to all of the attractions throughout Ohio. How about a wine trip? There are several wineries in NW Ohio and throughout the state that feature tastings and overnight accommodations. If driving is an issue, there are also bus trips available for mature travelers.

Once in a lifetime
According to Marcia Staber from Central Travel www.centraltravel. com, people over 50 are enjoying multigenerational trips. Many grandparents are taking their children and grandchildren with them to experience Alaskan cruises, allinclusive resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico, and other adventure travel. Additionally, European river cruises are very popular and a great way to see Europe! Shore Excursions cater to active travelers as well as travelers who prefer a motor coach tour. AMA Waterways, one of Central Travel’s preferred river cruise companies, categorizes their tours as either gentle, regular, or active, which is important for a mature traveler with special needs. Many people are now able to experience their bucket list trips, People over 50 are booking their “dream list” trips: Hawaii, South Pacific, or to a special place in their personal history. According to Marcia “I had a couple book Croatia last year to find their family roots and I have a couple going this year to Italy to find her grandfather’s grave site.” There are so many options for you to travel. Whether it is a day trip to Catawba to enjoy the lake or a trip to France, the important thing to do is create your bucket list for the year, identify what trips you want to take and then make your plans to travel.

Fashion
Straw hats Last year we embraced
the straw bag, so now wear it with its companion piece: the statement straw hat. Make it oversized and unique – this year, the beachy style is much more prominent than just a basic Panama hat.
Summer Fashion So much fun! By Pat Nowak The weather is warming up and it’s time to think about updates to your summer wardrobe. Here are the hot summer trends for 2018.
Color
You are in the pink, with so many pink options this summer. Bright pink, millennial pink and pink mixed with a pop of red are the colors to consider. If you get tired of pink try whimsical pastel lavender – the next big color. Yellow is always a summer staple and, if you just can’t choose one favorite, try pieces in rainbow hues.
Print on print Some designers are showing print on
print. While it might be scary to try it on yourself – use your creativity to mix and match to make outfits that are dramatic and unique to you.
Suits White on white suits are a summer
must for your work week. But after hours, jumpsuits are going to be a staple in your wardrobe this season – featured styles include something for every body shape.
Sportswear Athleisure sportswear pieces continue
their dominance along with skirts and dresses, however the pieces look less like workout clothes, now with a casual flair. Pair pieces with softer fashion items to make them appear more feminine.
Dresses Dresses will be worn over t-shirts and
button down shirts. The trend started years ago when slip dresses were worn over simple t-shirts, but now anything goes. While talking about dresses, take note of see through and sheer dresses – they are as light as a summer breeze, but you will need to be bold to embrace this look.
Dark denim and head to toe denim on denim will continue to be in style and a necessary part of your wardrobe. And don’t forget, black and white polka dots remain a summer favorite.
May 2018
Basic white tee/tank tops are indispensable; you can’t have enough of them. Wear them alone or under dresses.
ARuching little dazzle hugs those curves and makes your body appear slimmer. Asymmetrical necklines make a sexy silhouette, dancing around your collar. Square necklines are flattering and will be seen widely on tops and dresses. Want a little dazzle on your top? Choose straps adorned with sequins, jewels or colorful embellishments. Pure romance is captured with the delicate, puff shoulder trend. It’s summer and time to have some fashion fun. Local boutiques are full of the latest looks, so stop by your favorite fashion hot spot!
Fanny packs The packs are back and looking quite trendy. Look for packs that are bright and sporty – much more chic than in the past.
Transparent looks will continue to be seen with accessories, shoes and clothing.

Lick
Time
of
Toothbrush, anyone? by Bob Esplin, Sylvania Vet When done correctly, a COHAT (comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment) is a complex and timeconsuming process. The importance of the exam cannot be overstated, as a pet’s mouth with dental disease can be very painful. When not done properly, the dental care can actually be harmful, speeding the process of tooth decline and loss. A COHAT is not a once in a lifetime procedure, but should be part of a pet’s regular wellness care. A commitment to aggressive home care, including daily brushing and dental chews will decrease the frequency of doing a professional prophy. Human dentists recommend twice yearly prophys and that is for people who brush and floss regularly. Therefore, it should not be a surprise that a pet’s mouth can develop dental disease as young as two years old and may need a COHAT every year. The procedure includes evaluating gum health, measuring and charting periodontal pockets, full mouth x-rays and nerve blocks before we start electronic and hand scaling. Without extractions our COHAT takes about 1.5-2 hours from start to finish. Severe disease, extractions and other factors can easily double the time necessary to do a complete and professional COHAT. We recommend that you begin brushing your pet’s teeth early. Minimum tartar buildup and gum redness makes a COHAT much
easier. Anything less than a complete COHAT is not worth the money spent. Pet health insurance often pay for a portion of dental procedures.
Deceptive television ads
TV dog food advertisements often contain untruths. Dogs are no longer wild animals. They have been domesticated for over 30,000 years and their digestive systems and nutritional needs have adapted to their role as human companions. Grain, particularly corn, is not a filler, it is a quality nutrient. Corn contains lots of energy, has a great, well tolerated gluten protein and has healthy omega fatty acids. When a dry food lists meat as the number one ingredient you should know that the label must state the ingredients in order of amount before processing. Meat is 70% water and dry food is 10% moisture which means the meat may no longer be the most common ingredient. By-products and grain meals are not necessarily a negative when present in foods. These nutrient sources are regulated by AAFCO to contain only healthy, edible and digestible animal parts. Also, because these sources are already processed, they pose fewer negative risks. Most online pet food ratings are not science based. Your veterinarian remains your best source for solid, science based pet food information.
Fear free tips: Play classical music on the radio when traveling to the vet, groomer, etc, with your pet.

When I was high school and college age, the only sports for me were football and basketball. I liked the fast-paced action and the physicality. Now, as I will soon be 67, I find that I thoroughly enjoy baseball. I have come to appreciate the artistry of the game and the strategy including the mental battle between the pitcher, the catcher and the hitter.
Pace is comforting
I have come to appreciate the pace of baseball and the skill it takes to play the game well. One of the most difficult things to do in all of sports is to hit a baseball thrown at over 90 miles per hour. The powers that be are seemingly always trying to speed up the game, but I think their attempts are wrong. To me, at this stage of my life I think the pace of the game of baseball is perfect. Admittedly it is slow, but that allows spectators to engage in conversation during the game. Most times the games are played in beautiful weather and leaving your seat to get a hot dog and a drink, even if you are gone for a bit, still doesn’t
interfere with you knowing exactly what is going on in the game.
Love of the game
Baseball fans are fun and courteous, acting like family at the ballpark. To me baseball means summer, social interactions and reminiscing of days gone by i.e. the joy of the Tiger’s Mark Fidyrich, the glory days of Maris and Mantle, Bob Gibson and Hank Aaron. Baseball is about history and tradition and if you want to talk excitement, consider a meaningful baseball game two outs, bases loaded, bottom of the ninth and the home team needs a run to get the big win. That situation puts you are on the edge of your seat and is incredibly exciting. Baseball began in again April, so be sure this summer to visit our home team the Toledo Mud Hens or take a drive up to see the Tigers. What is your favorite baseball memory? Perhaps it is still left to be created.
Give it a try!

Giving CareNet Healthcare for uninsured residents by Stephen Roberts PhD. When people talk about the Toledo area’s important assets they invariably mention the Zoo, the Museum, the Metroparks, Lake Erie and the Library. One important asset that is not often mentioned, but likely should be, is CareNet.
Addressing the need for care
In March of 2002 then Toledo Mayor Jack Ford, in his State of the City address, challenged the community to help provide healthcare to uninsured residents. CareNet was founded in the fall of that year. Under the strong leadership of Jan Ruma, Executive Director, CareNet has since provided more than 28,000 low-income uninsured residents of Lucas County with health care service in more than 500,000 instances, services worth more than $200 million. This work is primarily carried out by approximately 220 physician volunteers, community health workers and a large network of generous organizations and individuals that donate money and services to the cause. Eight hospitals and 15 clinic sites provide care for CareNet members. Physicians viewing working for CareNet as a way for them to pay back and contribute to the community. Local government provides some grants and funding for otherwise uncompensated care and the balance of the bills are written off by the institutions. In 2016 CareNet income totaled approximately $650,000. Of this, grants and contracts contributed 62%, hospital contributions amounted to 27%, individuals and corporations donated 7% and government provided 4%.
Workers enhance access
To carry out its goals CareNet employs community health workers to help residents navigate the healthcare system and make use of their health coverage. Community health workers also help residents access services such as food housing and transportation.
May 2018
To be eligible for CareNet’s network individuals must:
Be a Lucas County resident for six months Complete the application process Be otherwise ineligible for government healthcare assistance Have no access to affordable private coverage Have a household income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, which for an individual in 2018 is $24,280. An individual story
Walker is with you every step of the way.
One individual who CareNet has helped is Kathy S. who lost her home, and a job, at a corrections facility when her case manager position was eliminated. While she did not have health insurance, a doctor, money for needed medications, or enough food, she found a job working with autistic clients. Heidi Trombley, a CareNet community health worker sent Kathy S. to a healthcare center to address her needs. Ms. Trombley then assisted by referring her for therapy, and arranged for Kathy to have health insurance and food assistance. Through the assistance of CareNet community health workers, stories like this are commonplace.
Volunteer
CareNet is presently recruiting volunteers who would be willing to be trained as Medicaid and marketplace enrollment assistants to provide 4-12 hours of service weekly during open enrollment, from November 1-December 15, 2018. Volunteers will work with consumers one on one to navigate the online process to enroll in health insurance or Medicaid.

Health The Healthy Senior Shingles are not fun By Fred Cicetti A comedian in a recent routine made a humorous reference to “shingles.” But those who have experienced shingles don’t find it funny. Shingles is a painful skin disease caused by the chickenpox virus, awakening from a dormant state to attack your body. Some people report fever and weakness when the disease starts. Within two to three days, a red, blotchy rash develops which erupts into small blisters that look like chickenpox. And it’s very painful. That doesn’t sound very funny..

on treatment options. “Sometimes steroids or other medications are also prescribed to minimize the risk of long term pain, called post-herpetic neuralgia, that can result after shingles. The earlier the treatment, the less likely there will be long term pain,” he explains. If you have had chickenpox, shingles is not contagious. If you have never had chickenpox, you can catch the virus from contacting the fluid in shingles blisters. You will likely not get shingles, but you could get chickenpox.

Dini ng out Glendale Garden Cafe prepares for move By Jeff McGinnis Perhaps the oldest of all restaurant mantras is to treat your customers as if they were family. But for Candice and Mustafa Ilgin, spouses and owners of Toledo’s Glendale Garden Cafe, that philosophy extends beyond rhetoric and into action. For over two decades, they have hosted their customers like family— and, they explain, their clientele has reciprocated. Candice was already a fixture at the restaurant when she gave birth to the couple’s four children— quadruplets. “They were born three months early,” Candice said. “And we had people who would send gifts to the house, and would send me cards, always asking the servers, ‘How are the kids? Can we see the pictures?’ They were always there, and they became more like family. “And now, my kids are working here, and so the kids are starting to develop a lot of the same relationships with customers that have watched them grow up, like part of our family.”
The history
Of course, the familial atmosphere is only one of the things that brings the Glendale Garden Cafe’s customers back year after year. The food is another major component— a sprawling and diverse menu of offerings at any time of day, sure to satisfy the palate of any diner. It’s a bill of fare that has become standard since the Ilgins first took ownership of the Cafe 23 years ago. After so many years at 2521 Glendale, however— and after the addition of a sister location, the Reynolds Garden Cafe, over a decade ago— the Cafe is about to make its biggest change yet. A change of location. Oh, don’t worry, it’ll still be the Glendale Garden Cafe. The restaurant is just moving up the street, to the site of a former Ruby Tuesday’s. If all goes well, Candice said, they hope to be moved by early June.
“We’re going down there because we really have outgrown this and the building is beginning to show its age. It’s a lot of upkeep, and it’s hard for us to do a lot of the repairs and stay open. And we’ve looked at updating this [location], and it’s just financially more sound to move. We’d have to acquire more property, and we’d be shut down for a much longer period of time if we were to stay here and update this.”
The fare
A Glendale Cafe trademark is its remarkably comprehensive menu. From a mouth-watering selection of appetizers and salads to over 30 different kinds of sandwiches— and that doesn’t even include the wraps— a beefy (pardon the pun) variety of steak, seafood, Chinese food, pasta, chicken, ribs and on and on. And we haven’t even mentioned breakfast yet. “If you’re looking for breakfast, it would be our Hungry Man Breakfast combo,” Candice said. “We have our country omelette, we sell a lot of those. Our sandwiches, we have our clubs— just fly out of here— our Reubens, people come just for the Rubens. All of our soups are homemade, so that’s a big draw. “Dinner-wise, we have such a wide variety of items to choose from, it’s hard to just pick one thing for dinner.”
The decor
The owners are also planning to freshen up their surroundings with the move. “We’re going to try and keep it very fresh-feeling. Again, a garden theme. All of the photography on the walls is from Northwest Ohio, and all of the pictures were taken by my kids. So we’re trying to keep the neighborhood feel, but freshening it up a little bit.”
22
The Bottom Line
“We certainly hope that their first time in, they’ll feel welcome. That they’ll be greeted at the door with a smile,” Candice said of visitors to the Cafe’s new surroundings. “I hope they will take time to go through the menu and see how extensive it is, because we do have a lot to offer. A lot of times, people kinda get stuck trying the same things, and that’s why we’re excited about our new menu coming up, too— we have some new items, and we’ll have some new specials to kind of give our real regulars something a little different to choose from.” 2521 Glendale Ave., 419-382-1011. gggardencafe.com

Steve Roberts and Pat Nowak
Lake Living MHome allows us to take a glimpse into the personality of a home. Whether the house is large or small each has a distinct presence that is unique to the owners. We have previewed many fabulous homes and before I left my post as the Editor of MLiving, I thought we’d take a look at my home. My husband Steve Roberts and I live in Holland, Ohio on a large lake. Because of the home’s openness we have chosen paint that is neutral but enjoy the boldness of the lake and have splashed color throughout, opting for aqua, blue, yellow and red. Hardwood floors are dotted with softer accent area rugs and the metal and glass pieces are used for contemporary ambiance. Accents for the home include art favorites and fabulous glass from local artists and those collected on travels in the US and Europe. Lake living should be easy and fun whether on the sun porch or entertaining neighbors on the deck, accented in aqua, lime green and blue. A great summer day at the Nowak/Roberts residence is traveling around the lake, catching up on daily news from other lake lovers.
