Writing from the HeART If you are looking for an activity that incorporates creativity and exercises your memory, the Riverside Writers at the HeART Gallery could be for you. A guided creative writing workshop that encourages any form you’re drawn to, the Riverside meeting has a guide who provides topic ideas— think “wedding memories” and “my childhood playmate”— for you to spend an hour writing about so you can read it aloud at next month’s meeting. The eventual goal is to create a legacy collection of these stories, primarily written by seniors. You’ll also get a meal out of it: homemade soup and bread. 1:30pm. Thursday, November 16. Group meets every third Thursday. HeART Gallery, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 428 N. Erie St. 419-243-4214. heartgalleryandstudios.com —EH

Profiles
I have always wanted to... Sing in a rock and roll band, or at least play the tambourine! What do you admire in people? I admire people who want to fight, who stand up to authority, fight for justice and not be quiet.

What is your pet peeve? Indifference to the problems that need to be solved.
Susan Carter has worked at the Ryan White Center at the University of Toledo Medical Center for nearly three decades.
Tirelessly Fighting for Rights By Jeff McGinnis
Standing strong
For the last three decades, Carter has stood up at every possible opportunity for what she believes is right. For 28 years she’s worked at the University of Toledo Medical Center’s Ryan White Clinic, helping treat people living with HIV/AIDS. She is an environmental activist working with Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie. She has worked with the National Organization for Women and served as president of the Ohio American Civil Liberties Union.
Retail beginnings
And it all started with a job where she was dressing mannequins. “I got a degree in art, and I wasn’t good enough to be a starving artist,” Carter said with a laugh. “I was already working in retail, so I became a fashion coordinator for J.L. Hudson Company.” There were very few women in Carter’s department at the time, and most of the men she worked with were gay. “They were my friends, and they taught me— this was in the 70’s, some of them were in the closet, some of them told me how their families treated them. My best friend was a gay man, we took dancing lessons together. November 2019
What are the words you live by? Silence is not acceptable.
What’s your ? Pasta. favorite food e? Favorite movi a. nc la ab Cas most Who do you sband, hu admire? My . Mike Ferner
What advice would you give to the younger you? Get involved earlier! Who is someone you'd like to meet? Dr. King.
Susan Carter looks back at the decade “I just detest the bully,” Susan Carter said. “The bully can be a system, a person, an organization that makes people feel inadequate, unequal or unloved. I’ve just got to do something about it. If you don’t speak up, you’re condoning bad behavior. And I just can’t do that.”
What is something that most people don't know about you? I was arrested for civil disobedience for protesting.
: Bonus Facts
“As I was doing that work, I thought, ‘I’ve got to do more than dress mannequins,’” Carter said. “So I went back to school, and I got a degree— 20 years after my first degree— in 1989, I got a Masters in counseling. And then I got licensed as a counselor and as a social worker.”
What inspires you now? I'm inspired by all the people I work with, both in my job and with Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie. These are people who have committed themselves to something bigger than their own affairs. They're committed to saving people and saving the planet.
Helping Profession
Carter has worked at the Ryan White Clinic ever since. Before her best friend from her retail days passed away from complications of HIV, she personally was involved in arranging hospice care for him. She has seen firsthand the evolution of AIDS treatment— both on a societal and an individual level. “We know for a fact that if people take their medication— and the medications are available to anyone, whether they have insurance or not— they take their medication, their virus will be non-detectable in their body and they cannot transmit HIV,” Carter said. “And they’ll live full and healthy lives.” And when she’s not working, she’s still fighting. Whether it’s alongside her husband Mike Ferner for the Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie or during her tenure as president of the local branch of the ACLU from 1989-1999, Carter has never tired in her fight against bullies in all forms. “Sometimes it’s one step forward and two steps back. You can’t get tired, you can’t give up. And I think people who are committed to the movement never do.”

THAT MY CHILDREN MAY KNOW PEACE By Erin Holden
While it’s appropriate to thank service members for their sacrifices, it is also important to acknowledge their varying stories and see them not as one entity, but as individuals who left a lot behind to serve our country. In celebration of National Veterans and Military Families Month, we spoke to local service members from different walks of life. These are their stories.
Five local Veterans reflect on their time in the service
Joseph D. Bublick Special Forces U.S. Air Force Officer Commissioned August 8, 2003 & 180th Air National Guard
Joseph Bublick was first interested in joining the military due to his natural inclination to serve others, as well as his “curiosity” (as he puts it), and a deep sense of gratitude. “I’d always felt I had some sort of debt to repay because I had such a good life,” he said. “I wanted to do my part.” With the attack on the Twin Towers in 2001, Bublick was eager to serve, so he resumed the training to become an Air Force officer that he had put on hold while attending Bowling Green State University. In 2009, four months after the birth of his first son, Bublick was deployed to Iraq. “It was very difficult leaving him as a new baby,” he says, but it wasn’t as difficult as leaving his son as a toddler when he had more of an understanding of what was going on. Bublick returned home after serving in Iraq, and was then deployed a second time, allowing him only two days to say goodbye to his family before undertaking a Special Forces mission, which didn’t permit him to say where he was going or what he’d be doing.
6
“We were flying over Libya, helping the rebels march to the capital to get rid of Gaddafi,” Bublick recalls. “We went over there, did our jobs, and came home. Then it was time to think about my future.” After returning from those missions, Bublick joined the Air National Guard in Swanton. His work there offered a much slower pace than his service as an officer in the Special Forces, where he had been assigned to lead a few hundred troops. He is proud of his service, but happy to now be working in the civilian sector— he is the owner of Bublick Construction, Inc., a family business his father had wanted him to take over for years. “As my kids get older, they ask more questions” about his service, he says, adding that he has always hoped his children and future generations won’t have to put their lives on the line. One of his favorite quotes is by Thomas Paine: “If there is going to be trouble, let it be in my day so that my children may know peace.” “I had the opportunity to be part of things that my kids will read about in history books.” says Bublick. “A lot of people don’t get to say that.”

Becky Ohm Air Force Fighter Pilot
Served in 180th Air National Guard from 1993 to 2018
When Rebecca Ohm first joined the 180th Air National Guard in 1993, women weren’t allowed to fly in combat. Even so, she didn’t give up on her dream of being a fighter pilot. When the ban was lifted the following year, she interviewed to fly F16s— also known as Vipers— and was told that she’d likely be an alternate. To her surprise, she received a call saying she had earned a primary slot. She served as crew chief until 1997, then began flying jets. Ohm says that one misconception about the Guard is that they don’t ever go anywhere. “It’s so untrue,” she says. “If something were to happen, we get ready to deploy, and both full and parttimers go into combat.” After training in Mississippi and Arizona, Ohm found herself being deployed to several locations, three of which were combat missions in war zones— in Northern and Southern Iraq no fly zones, along with being a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2005 after the U.S. took control on the ground.
“It was a lot different,” Ohm says of her final combat deployment. “We flew over Iraq to help the guys on the ground, which was our primary mission— to help those who were trying to make a difference.” Ohm and her husband, John, have three children, and they own Flying Joe Coffee in Levis Commons. She remembers how difficult it was after the two of them decided to start a family, considering that she was a fighter pilot. “You can’t fly from the minute you find out you’re pregnant. It was a difficult process. I was the first female fighter pilot at the base, and I went through that in front of lots of men,” she says with a laugh. “They didn’t know how to handle it, and neither did I.” From carrying a business through the recession to raising a family and surviving cancer, Ohm feels that her experience in the military has guided her in how she handles many aspects of her life. She first felt called to join when her high school invited an Air Force cadet to talk about his experiences. “It sounded amazing to me— serving for a bigger purpose other than yourself,” says Ohm, who retired last year after 25 years, inviting her employees and some friends to see her final flight at the 180th base. She even brought a couple of them into the air with her. She feels that, if all civilians could witness a day in the life of someone in the service, it would build a greater understanding of what the job entails. “Just to see the environment we’re in, to see a day in our lives— that would be something really special for anyone who hasn’t served.”

Are there any moments that stand out to you most? I had many memorable moments in my military career. One of the most impactful was sitting in the cockpit running up for a mission with my pilot and platoon leader, Eric Waldorf, and him looking over to me and asking, “Are you scared?” I paused and smiled and said, “No sir, we are the best at this, and I am flying with you.” I meant it. I knew in my heart that what we were doing was good, and we were good at it. I trusted that man with my life, and he felt the same about me. It changed the way I look at people, even today.
One thing that you wish civilians understood: What I did was my choice, and I appreciate their saying “thank you.” But what I really want to do is thank them for being the Americans that deserve those who risk their lives. And I expect them to live up to the service members’ expectations. Be good Americans and earn that “Thank

T.J. Stratton Served in U.S. Navy Reserve
“
from 1993-2015
Timothy Jon Stratton has always had the greatest respect for the military and has many family members who have served, including his father during World War II. He’d always been interested in joining the service but enlisted relatively late in life at 33 years old. “I knew that I wanted to be a police officer, and that I wanted to get married, so it just didn’t have the draw for me at that time,” he says of his post-ROTC days at the University of Toledo. After working as a police officer in Maumee for 11 years, he boot camp followed by an eight-year commitment to the Navy Reserve. “That commitment expired in April 2001, so I could walk away when the coast was clear,” Stratton recalls. “For some reason I thought, ‘I’m going to play this by ear.’” He decided to commit to 20 years instead of stopping at eight.
learned that the Navy Reserve had a program for people with more developed skill sets— people his age. He embarked on a fast-track

Stratton surrounded by his son Lain, his wife Julia, and his daughter Caitlyn
“I stuck with it, and 9/11 happened a few months later.” Being in the Reserves, he wasn’t sure if he’d ever be deployed, but he knew immediately on that day that his call would come soon, and he was right. By the end of September, he found himself in Egypt training with Special Forces troops. Stratton came back home for a couple of years before doing the first of three tours in Iraq in 2004. His tours there involved training Iraqis—
assisting them in their everyday lives through the development of infrastructure and rebuilding. “I never looked back or wished I’d walked away when I could have,” he says. Stratton found himself seeing the full span of the war in Iraq, from the more offensive years, to the defensive ones when “we were letting them [the Iraqi troops] resolve the differences. I was at the end of things,” Stratton says. “I saw the war basically kick off and then wind down.” Throughout all of his time in the Reserve, even during these active duty times, he was able to continue employment with the Maumee Police Department, where he worked for 35 years before retiring. One of the most impactful moments Stratton can recall of his 22 years in the service was when he got to swear his son into the Navy. His son graduated from Maumee High School in 2008 and was not deterred by the fact that there was a war going on. “I thought, you don’t have to do this— no one’s making you,” Stratton recalls. “I was so proud that he did that.”
“
and USS Carl Vinson. I was a radar operator, air combat controller, and I had many other collateral duties such as community relations and mentorship. What inspired you to enlist? Initially, I just wanted to serve because I didn’t really love school, and I knew that I wanted to get out of the small-town environment and spread my wings. I truly wanted to travel and, by enlisting, I visited more than 20 countries by the time I was 22 years old.

Jen Wakefield | Continued From Page 10 Are there any moments that stand out to you most? A really impactful moment that is probably still the best moment of my life to date (other than being a parent) would be stepping off the ship after a nine-month appointment to the Middle East. There were more than 10,000 people cheering for us, holding signs and balloons, cheerleaders and marching bands. Knowing my family was somewhere out there waiting for me— and knowing that I was finally done with the most grueling deployment— I was so proud that I got to be a part of something so big.
Serving in a humanitarian relief deployment was pretty incredible also. We arrived in Haiti 16 hours after the earthquake in 2010 and, although it was pretty traumatic, it was also powerful to be part of a mission that was helping people who literally lost everything. One thing that you wish civilians understood: When you serve, it changes you forever. In many cases, military qualifications mean absolutely nothing in the civilian world. For instance, somebody could be a combat medic which quite literally
is like a doctor in a frontline mission saving limbs, treating gaping chest wounds, and saving people‘s lives (while being unable to save others), but not even be considered a STNA when they discharge. The other thing that most people just don’t get is that female veterans generally do not get the same amount of respect or gratitude that our male counterparts receive.

H.O.O.V.E.S. for Vets
A farm in Swanton helps service members heal By Erin Holden Amanda Held has always had an intuitive connection with horses and the animals’ ability to heal, but it wasn’t until she found herself dealing with depression and anxiety while serving in the Air Force that she began to see the true power behind having a kinship with horses. “I rescued a wild mustang— a baby,” Held said. “I bought the horse to train
it and, as I was learning its language and how to gain control over it, I had to gain control over my own emotions to get the horse to respond to me.” That was the seed that eventually grew into the nonprofit, H.O.O.V.E.S., which now includes a holistic weekend retreat for veterans who need help with emotional trauma.
Hemi and Jax, two of the horses you’ll find at the H.O.O.V.E.S. farm.
Letting Go
Held, the founder and facilitator of the program, combines the principles of EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association) methods with her own techniques gathered from human behaviorists in Canada specializing in stress and trauma. Her work with these professionals prompted her to create EWIM (Equine Wisdom Integration Method). “That’s when I really ended up with a dynamite program,” she explains, as horses teach people how to be present, and how to immediately let go of conflict once it’s over. Horses don’t hold grudges. “If we look at conflicts between people, it’s not the conflict that creates all the drama,” she said. “It’s the way people respond to the conflicts.” To help service members connect and deal with their emotions, the program includes getting into an arena to interact with horses, participating in yoga, an essential oils class and working with massage therapists and chiropractors to “align their bodies as we align their minds. I’ve learned that these are the most effective things— when you put them all together, you get a dramatic, transformational healing.”

Animal sanctuary
Much like the veterans who enter the program, all of the animals have a story as well. The H.O.O.V.E.S. farm also acts as a sanctuary for horses like Honey, who used to be a reserve champion show horse until he developed a disease that causes him to get nosebleeds when he overexerts himself. “A lot of the veterans who have been in combat have physical limitations now, so it’s really relatable for them to see that Honey is still useful even though he can’t do what his career was for so long,” explains Held.
Judgement free zone
There’s something about these interactions with 1200 pound animals that makes it impossible to not feel vulnerable, which Held sees as the first step toward healing. You won’t be judged by the animals, and you won’t be judged by anyone working at the farm. She tells the vets that she is not a therapist. “I tell them I’m here to give you space to find your own healing, just like I did.” The H.O.O.V.E.S. retreat, monthly workshops, and support for the family’s of participating veterans are all free thanks to private donations. To make a donation or find out how to enter the retreat, visit hooves.us or call 419-930-7936.

Saving Be Vigilant
Scammers Are Always Out There By Karen Telleen-Lawton I regret there will never be a dearth of material on scams. This morning’s news featured a real estate scam that robbed a single mother of the money she had saved for her first house. After wiring her down payment money to a crook claiming to be the seller’s bank, she lost it all. She is resigned to living with her young children in her parents’ basement for the foreseeable future. The consequence of all your personal data being available online is that you have to be vigilant. If an email looks suspect in any way, find the party’s phone and email by an independent internet search and contact them yourself.
Data is valuable
Money isn’t the only thing fraudsters are after. Data— your personal information— is extremely valuable, representing the potential for future scams. One fraud making the rounds recently is a genetic testing scam. If you fall for this, through a telemarketing call, health fair, or knock on the door, your first bad news will be discovering that the “free” genetic test you took is not free. Medicare does not pay for any testing which is not medically necessary. You’ll be responsible for the cost, which could run into thousands of dollars. The ultimate goal of the scammers is more devious: your Medicare number. With your identification they can steal your identity, causing you more headaches, time, and money, as well as cheating the federal government. There are ways to protect yourself against real estate, Medicare, and any frauds threatening to take away your marbles. Protecting your Medicare and Social Security numbers, as well as other personal information, is not simple. Trusted doctors and your own financial creditors and debtors should be the only ones who have access, and this should be strictly limited. Don’t
be afraid to politely refuse when people request your private information in any other context.
Use safety checks
Take full advantage of the safety checks offered by your legitimate services. The USPS, your phone server, and your financial institutions all have developed ways to ensure you know with whom you’re dealing. The post office, for example, has a new free service called Informed Delivery. They can send you a daily email containing digital scans of the mail and packages you can expect in the next day or two. Then you’ll know if you’re missing something. Taking steps to block robocalls will reduce the chances you’ll be suckered into a scam. You can sign up for the federal Do Not Call Registry (888-382-1222). Call from the phone number you want to be registered. Contact your phone service providers: many have programs aimed at reducing telemarketing calls. You can also find private robocall blocking services to help with your mobile phone. Before you choose a third-party service, however, be sure you check their reviews on the internet (not on their website) to assure yourself they are legit. Speaking of legit, if you receive a genetic testing kit in the mail, return it unopened unless your doctor ordered it. If you suspect Medicare fraud, call 1-800-MEDICARE. Medicare wants to shut these down as quickly as they pop up, to protect you and all of our tax dollars.
You may not feel like your financial institutions always have your back, but they have a vested interest in protecting your privacy. A visit to your bank branch or website will show you just how many protections and tips are available for your use. One worthwhile bank service alerts (by email, text or automated phone call) whenever your debit or credit card has been used. You can set different trigger amounts for various credit cards if you don’t want to be notified for small dollar purchases. Two-step authentication is another good way to keep robbers one more step removed from your accounts. It takes a few seconds longer to access your accounts but adds a layer of security.
A recent book praised by a former police commissioner is Scam Me If You Can by Frank Abagnale. You may consider some of his suggestions a pain and a bother. But so are brushing your teeth, paying your bills, and many other tasks you complete more or less without complaint daily. If simple strategies can help us outsmart scam artists, they can reduce our stress and help us keep our marbles. Karen Telleen-Lawton helps seniors help themselves by providing bias-free financial advice. She is a Certified Financial Planner, the Principal of Decisive Path FeeOnly Financial Advisory in Santa Barbara, California (http://www.DecisivePath.com). You can reach her with your questions or comments at ktl@DecisivePath.com.
Password managers keep you protected
Finally, consider signing up for a password manager. This type of software creates complex passwords for each of your needs and stores them securely. You only need to remember one password, which then supplies the appropriate password for each site. This type of third-party password service generally is low cost and includes fraud alerts and other security features. I haven’t yet signed up for a password manager. I’m a bit nervous about giving away my password power. What would happen if the manager were hacked? Nevertheless, my son uses one and believes it’s a safe option.
Fighting Back Against Scams n
Protect your private information.
n Sign up for Informed Delivery through the USPS. n Sign up for the federal Do Not Call registry to block some robocalls.
Return unopened any unsolicited genetic testing kit you receive. n
If you suspect Medicare fraud, call 1-800-Medicare. n

Health How to Register as a Medical Marijuana Patient in Ohio By Athena Cocoves The medical marijuana control act was signed into law by then-Governor John Kasich in 2016, but the first Ohio dispensary didn’t open until March of this year. Since then, the state has opened 28 dispensaries, each offering an array of products offering varying concentrations of THC and CBD, the two components that patients use to control symptoms and experience relief. Looking to visit an Ohio dispensary to purchase medical marijuana? You aren’t alone. Recent data released by the State of Ohio Pharmacy Board reveals that 62 percent of the medicinal marijuana cardholders in the state are 40 or older— and one in five is 60 years old or older. Only one in 10 cardholders are 18 or 19 years old. Before you visit a dispensary, there are a few crucial steps that you’ll need to take first.
1) See if you qualify
Medical marijuana is just that— medical. It is not available for everyone. There are 21 qualifying conditions in Ohio, which can be found at medicalmarijuana.ohio.gov. At Soothe, a medical marijuana dispensary on N. Main St. in Bowling Green, general manager Mimi Gonzalez has seen a variety of patients, saying “We have many patients with serious health issues who seek us out for consultation to learn what strains will be most effective in addressing those health concerns.” If you are unsure whether or not your medical status qualifies according to the list, it’s still worth moving on to the next step.
2) Visit a doctor
To be entered into the state registry, you need a doctor’s recommendation. When visiting the doctor, both patients (adults and minors) and caregivers, need to bring an unexpired state driver’s license or ID card or U.S. passport with them to the doctor’s office.
3) Register
After the certified physician has recommended medical marijuana, both patients and caregivers will receive an email with a link to confirm the registration and pay an annual registration fee of $50. For veterans and individuals who qualify for federal entitlement programs, the fee is $25.
4) Visit a dispensary
This isn’t as easy as just walking in. To gain access to a dispensary, you must present a patient registry card and a photo ID at a state-licensed dispensary. Once inside, trained staff can assist individual patients in selecting the right product. “We take great care in reviewing each patient’s qualifying conditions and any recommendations of their physician as we explain the options in our inventory to address these conditions,” said Gonzalez. “If there is a patient with questions or concerns about a recommendation or any medical marijuana product they can set an appointment for a private consultation by our trained staff.” According to state law, all medical marijuana products must be stored securely in the original container from the dispensary with the original label, printed individually for each patient and affixed to the container at the time of purchase.
5) Pick up a product
Patients are limited to a “90-day supply” at any given time, per state law, and amounts are tracked across the state. The state defines the supply by THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content. Fortunately, THC is a marijuana compound that generates a high or euphoric feeling, so it isn’t necessarily the go-to compound for medical marijuana users. Another compound, CBD (cannabidiol) does not generate a high, so state regulations allow for the purchase and possession of greater amounts of products that have higher CBD and lower THC content.

Dini ng out LaRoe’s Restaurant
Charming dining, impressive history By Kyle Alison Cubbon My husband and I took a scenic autumn drive to Grand Rapids, Ohio for a lazy walk along the Maumee River amidst the changing colors of autumn. We meandered to the historic canal town’s Main Street for lunch at LaRoe’s Restaurant, a charming establishment with an impressive history.
Making Main Street
At first glance, you might assume that LaRoe’s is more than a century old, and you would be partially correct. The building has a long, legendary history that began in 1880 as a dry goods business. A devastating fire, a few floods, and a handful of decades later, University of Toledo graduate David LaRoe purchased the rundown property in 1977 (despite the town having a less than a 50-percent business occupancy). The property’s weathered history is a thing of the past. With hard work and a persistent vision, David LaRoe transformed the buildings, and the town, into a vibrant community worthy of a being deemed a destination. In 2017, then-Ohio-Gov. John Kasich gave LaRoe’s a congratulatory award, with a certificate proclaiming: “This unique restaurant was instrumental in the revitalization of the village, and we commend Dave LaRoe and all the
staff of LaRoe’s for their commitment and dedication to making Grand Rapids a stronger, more vibrant place to live, work and raise a family.” Today, LaRoe’s is a charming, full service, cloth napkin restaurant with an outside deck along the floweradorned canal, a casual bar-restaurant area, and an upscale dining room.
Du jour
A 30-minute drive from Toledo, I had it in my mind that I specifically wanted to go to LaRoe’s for their soup. They boast nine different homemade soups. The “du jour” soups ($5.50 per bowl) and signature soups ($7.25 per bowl), or cups ($3.50/$4.25). Lobster bisque, in its own league, sells for $5.50 per cup and $9.50 per bowl. For the indecisive, LaRoe’s offers a flight of five 3oz selections. A bowl of the Mushroom Brie soup was as fulfilling as it was thick and creamy, with a bit of thyme, mushrooms pieces and just enough Brie. I enjoyed my soup, eating every last bite despite the large portion. My husband studied the menu, filled with appetizers (try the Kraut Bites for something different), salads (seven choices), sandwiches (eight options, including, fish, BLT, burger, Reuben and deli meats), platters (shrimp, fish, chicken, liver & onions), dinners (nine— ribs, steak, fish, spaghetti and more) and desserts (cheesecakes, pie, parfait, etc). Ultimately, he decided on the charbroiled bologna sandwich, a 3/4 inch thick slice of bologna, with perfect char marks, served on a toasted bun with grilled onions and melted cheese (the toppings were requested additions). The sandwich was fabulous.
Mature Concerns
Sweet seasons
We plan on returning in December when LaRoe’s is decorated for the holidays. Apparently, the decorations are lavish and beautiful. We will make reservations and enjoy a nice bottle of wine. If the tasteful Halloween decorations, including the gold skeleton taking seat #1 at the bar, are any indicator, the December decorations will be beautiful. Each December, LaRoe’s offers dinner theater shows featuring the Villagers of Friar Tucksput. Take the easy and beautiful drive to Grand Rapids, Ohio. LaRoe’s is a worthy destination.
Accessiblility: There are short steps at the front entrance, patio and women’s bathroom. Wheelchair accessibility is inconvenient but available through the back kitchen door and public outdoor bathroom. Specialty diets: Pescatarians will be happy, vegetarians are limited, diet followers will be challenged. Clean: Yes, nicely maintained. Lighting: Just right. Dark enough for ambiance, light enough to see and read the menu Noise level: Not a problem; can easily have a conversation. Children welcome: Yes. Parking: Free, on the street.
