LUXE SERVICES:

LUXE HEALTH TIP OF THE MONTH Spider veins are small web-like veins at the surface of the skin, and are normally considered to be a cosmetic issue. We can treat spider veins with injections into the vein to close them (sclerotherapy) or with external laser treatment to heat and close the vein. The methods cost the same and are equally effective, but some types of veins respond better to one or the other.

Treatment can take as little as 10 minutes, and results are typically excellent.

Varicose veins are larger veins that have become twisted or are bulging at the surface of the skin.

They become enlarged as gravity overcomes the tiny check valves in the veins that keep blood from pooling in the leg, causing both cosmetic and comfort issues. This happens for a variety of reasons, and most people will need to treat a varicose vein at some point. Varicose veins are closely linked to spider veins, and are often treated together. Patients are happy to know that varicose vein treatment is covered by insurance, as it may be free if you’ve already met your deductible or out-of-pocket expenses this year.

Modern technology has made the treatment of spider veins and varicose veins easier than ever before. Our advanced Cynosure and Angiodynamics laser equipment is the best you can get, and we only use gold-tipped laser fibers to ensure the best results. Call us today to set up a time to stop by.

Kiwanis Club of Toledo to Inaugurate Third Generation President in 100th Year The Kiwanis Club of Toledo has been serving the Toledo community since 1916. The Club is an active service organization with the mission of “working together to serve the youth of central Toledo.” They meet weekly on Wednesdays at the Toledo Club to share lunch, enjoy a speaker, and plan projects to work toward their mission of serving youth.

Billy Mann will be elected as the Club’s 52nd President, and the only third generation president in the history of the local organization and perhaps in all of Kiwanis International. Charles Mann III joined the Kiwanis Club of Toledo in 1962 and was president in 1982. His son, Richard Mann joined the Club in 1990 and was President in 1999. William (Billy) Mann will carry on as a third generation President and during his tenure will finalize the Club’s Centennial Project, a collaborative partnership between the Toledo Mud Hens and the Club, supporting the construction of new playground equipment at Fifth Third Field and initiating a new tradition with a Mud Hens Game Day for central city children.

Kerry Patrick Clark releases studio album The Heart of Christmas Chart-topping folk, Americana and Christian musician Kerry Patrick Clark is putting out his first Christmas album, The Heart of Christmas on October 28. His eighth studio album, Clark says it took him over 30 years to put out a yuletide album because he didn’t want to do retreads of the same traditional songs. Instead, Clark’s album focuses on the themes prevalent in the birth story, combining the secular and the Christian, the cynical and the sacred.

It’s the Holidays

Fashion Ideas That Dazzle

by Pat Nowak In November the parties begin - the get togethers to cheer on your favorite team, the company holiday party, gatherings at the neighbors and other celebrations - everyone wants to be dazzling.

Cindy Witzler, Elegant Rags

In 2016 women have many options but make sure you know the dress code for the evening before making your grand entrance.

Here’s a tip - it is always better to be overdressed than underdressed. I talked to Jane Wurth from Ragazza and Cindy Witzler from Elegant Rags and they stressed to always have fun with your look.

Diverse fashions suitable for any holiday gathering are available at local specialty shops and businesses.

Timeless fashion never goes out of style and it is always a perfect choice for the holidays. This year the little black dress has some competition from the little red dress and winter white. If choosing an unassuming dress you might want to add a dramatic hit of white leather or bold graphics which can make a striking statement.

, 6 Ê* ÊUÊ , - Ê , 9ÊUÊ- 6 Ê9"1,Ê ,/

Cindy loves the look of the ruffle and fringe as the added flourish on dresses, sleeves, and trousers. They add softness to a tailored look and always flirt with a sense of charm and drama.

Off the shoulder and one sleeved looks are also seen this year.

According to Jane, the holidays are the perfect time for luxurious fabrics so this is the time to break out the sequins, metallic, cashmere or velvet.

Wrap up your fashion package with a white stole -it adds a dose of glamour to your ensemble. If the event is less casual choose trousers with a trendy tank or cashmere sweater. Want a bit of pizazz – indulge in a metallic skirt.

Accessories add the finishing touches: a sequined bag, jeweled or chandelier earrings, and bold chokers. Festive shoes are the most refreshing options for this season. You can play with color, embellishment, and texture, injecting a new statement into that old favorite dress.

High-wattage crystal toe embellishments, feather-and-ribbon ankle ties, glimmering pom-poms and ornately decorated buckles, the appeal in this year’s shoes is all in the details. Whether you prefer stilettos, platforms, classic styles or some attention-grabbing boots –be sure your shoes are the focal point to tone down some of your other clothing. The most important thing about your shoes is that they must be comfortable.

Don’t fret holiday dressing. You can look pretty spectacular by remembering a fashion quote from Coco Chanel “Adornment, what a science!

Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!” www.myelegantrags.com - 109 Louisiana Ave. Perrysburg www.ragazzaboutique.com - 103 Louisiana Ave. Perrysburg, 5632 Main St. Sylvania

Past Traditions, Future Burdens Managing Holiday Expectations

By Chris Watson “But it’s tradition.…”During the holidays, the statement echoes in family conversations like a wartime battle cry. For those feeling musical, they may even break into their best Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof. Our holiday traditions help us feel an intrinsic connection to where we came from and, hopefully, where our communal family is going.

In our post-child-raising years, the issue is the traditions of our youth.

The Norman Rockwell ideal, dramatized in his iconic family dinner painting from the 1943 “Freedom” series, seems out of reach in our more modern setting. Our families are less centralized, children remain longer in extended educational programs forcing shortened time together as they need to get back to their studies, and many of us don’t live in the same city, or even the same state, as our extended family. In addition, holiday time is constantly being encroached upon by jobs that encourage, or even insist on, work to be done during traditional holiday time. Our traditions, so valued in the past, seem to be slipping away.

We don’t have to sacrifice holiday traditions, nor do we have to hang on to them like sacred cows. A bal-

ance can be struck between the socalled old world and the new. We can still, even with so much competing for our time and attention, celebrate what used to be while embracing what is to come. The key to holiday traditions is perspective.

Smaller Size, More Value (or Less is Always More)

Many of us associate holiday traditions with scale...and by scale we think big. Large family gatherings, 25 pound turkeys, five pies (all different of course), family card games lasting well past bedtime, three pans of lasagna… or one hundred tamales… or multiple fillings for perogies. Holiday traditions are described in terms of batches, sessions, and marathons.

All of us recognize the problem with this. When we are spread out, traveling, or have work commitments, these grandiose expectations, coupled with the gravitas of “tradition,” put pressure on us and our families. Unless we are blessed with loads of money and free time, the scale of what we remember will never match the scale of what we can reasonably achieve, on today’s terms.

The potential solution is to rescale, yet still savor. The same foods served on a smaller scale, create less

8

stress, less gluttony and less waste.

We can still enjoy the variety, without the strain on our bank account and without leaving the chef(s) quite so stressed. Activities we grew up with, even somewhat abbreviated, can be, in many respects, even more valued. By preserving tradition with an economy of scale, the value of our treasured activities, like all limited editions, increases. Recognize that you aren’t competing with social media in the eyes of the young, because it isn’t a competition. Embrace that low attention spans and social media are a component of activities now and don’t get frustrated. Without anxious pressure or creating an either/or situation, a new generation, once or twice removed, may become interested in what we grew up with and start carrying the banner on their own — still demonstrating a holiday tradition without overwhelming the holiday experience.

While those large family gatherings are fun, everyone packed in around the table, recognize that there is a level of stress involved. Planning out temporary living arrangements for the influx of aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents is stressful for everyone. And a large family gather-

ing is expensive. Consider tightening the group down to a few close family members if it can be done without hurting feelings. Even if it can’t, you have to weigh the considerations between offending a distant relative and stressing out your immediate family.

Time is Relative

Back when many of our holiday traditions formed, the economy, and even our culture, was very different.

We did not live in households where we worked right up to holidays, schools and sports activities took definitive holiday breaks, and often only one parent worked outside the home. Family holiday time was the norm, recognized by both organizations and employers. There was less competition for our time with family, and holiday traditions.

Time is, of course, at a premium today. Even if we have time off for the holiday, our family members may not, with many jobs requiring work hours on the actual holiday. School and sports schedules often “take advantage” of the holiday break with marathon practice sessions or scheduled competitions.

There are some options for us to still enjoy family traditions with to-

www.mlivingnews.com

November 2016

day’s chaotic scheduling, including resetting our holiday time to a different day. Families pick a day determined by work or school activities, which leads to a more relaxed time together. The point is to take an uninterrupted day to enjoy our holiday.

Don’t force the holiday in this new busy age, because that creates more stress for everyone. Instead, figure out when the holiday can work within everyone’s schedule— after all, it’s about family togetherness, and when you can make that happen, it beats trying to force it.

Home or Travel for the Holidays

According to AAA, Thanksgiving remains one of the highest travel days of the year. Over 46 million Americans traveled 50 plus miles in 2015 for the holiday weekend. A good percentage of those travelers were parents traveling to the homes of their children. This is a significant change from the way we grew up when, by tradition, many of us “went home,” traveling to the homes of our parents or grandparents.

Now as visitors rather than the hosts, we are less restricted by schedules and agendas. In addition to visiting our families there are great op-

November 2016

portunities to explore the community where they live, independent of family, allowing family members to continue with scheduled work or activities, easing the the anxiety caused by the feeling that we are “waiting around” for them.

Seeking out local shops, artisans, antique stores, and restaurants provides something to do and we can discover “must visit” place on these independent adventures. Yes, our primary purpose is to visit with our family but we can, if we are flexible, develop new traditions adjunct to our family holiday time. Additionally, recognize that the host family, even our closest loved ones, can benefit from a little down time and the creating of new traditions based around leaving them be for a few hours, is a gift in itself.

Family traditions can be valued and passed on, but they shouldn’t become a family albatross. With some planning, we can become unburdened by ‘too much’ and ‘too long’ while still honoring and enjoying what we remember fondly as tradition. When it comes to holidays, there has never been a better time in our lives to creatively value the past while embracing a new and flexible future.

Thanksgiving

Traditions That Never Quit or Some that Should

By Pat Nowak Thanksgiving is a holiday that is steeped in tradition. The annual flag football game, the turkey stuffed with Aunt Ethel’s secret recipe stuffing, not cooking and attending the annual Detroit Lions game, the pumpkin pie secret handed down from generation to generation and eating far too much. Does any of this sound familiar?

I never had to worry about cooking the Thanksgiving feast as my mother mother-in-law took care of the holiday. Butwhen they no longer could, and it to me to pick up the mantle and begin anew integrating the old traditions with the new. We still celebrate with almost everyone in the family - three generations, from age one to over 70. Our family still has the annual craziness about my sister Carol’s red cake (you have to have direct lineage to my parents to get an interior piece and if you are an in-law, good luck), there is never any left. But one of our favorites is to include city chicken at our holiday table. My mother introduced it when we were small and years later my nephew Nick has taken responsibility for making it. But no matter what your traditions are, I am sure that your family, like ours, celebrates with some special rituals handed down from generation to generation.

I asked some friends to share their family Thanksgiving traditions (some heartwarming and some hilarious) and I included a couple of recipes that might be interesting to try this year.

The *@!n+# bird Kathy Carroll: My thanksgiving tradition is to undercook the turkey and

spend an hour and a half cursing, cutting it into serving parts and putting it in the microwave. Thank God we have all had a couple drinks by then.

Daily gratitude list

Trina Meadows: The first is that after we say grace and before we eat,

we each take a turn and express something we are grateful for. The second, my personal favorite, is that each November 1st, I begin a daily gratitude list. Each day throughout the month of November. I write down something that I am grateful for. I find it to be so refreshing to focus on being thankful the entire month before Christmas madness begins.

The runaway turkey

Sally Goligoski: adds some humor to her Thanksgiving stories. You

will only want my Thanksgiving stories if you need humor. We lost a leftover 26-pound turkey for five months and finallyfound it in March, out on the porch, but many shades of green.I think this might be the ultimate menopause memory problem. Since then I am known as the turkey lady in Perrysburg.

Another time, I got bored while mashing potatoes and put them in the Cuisinart instead of breaking down the gluten.

They were beautiful, but wallpaper paste tastes better!!

That same year my sister-in-law somehow used salt instead of sugar in the pumpkin pies; they were also inedible.

The next year we went to see family in Milwaukee. I am now banned from Thanksgiving there. They had to repaint the kitchen walls and ceiling after I dropped a Tupperware bowl full of cranberry relish while clearing the table. It bounced, ricocheted up to the ceiling fan which was on and the kitchen looked like a crime scene with red splatter everywhere, even behind the appliances and inside the cupboards.

Cranberry Jello Salad Trina Meadow’s Recipe

1# pkg cranberries 2 c. water cook on med low until cranberries pop Add: 1-6oz pkg cherry jello.

Stir to dissolve and cool Add: 1 c. chopped walnuts or pecans 2 c. canned Oregon white grapes 1 c. crushed unsweetened natural pineapple drained Chill overnight and top in morning Topping 6-oz pkg softened cream cheese ½ pint whipping cream 1 c. miniature marshmallows Place all in metal mixing bowl, chill overnight.

Whip and top cranberry jello salad Fabulous on a leftover turkey sandwich!

City Chicken Harriet Stack’s Recipe

(please note: as often is the case with recipes handed down there are no accurate measurements) City Chicken is cubes of veal, pork and beef placed on a skewer (usually it is best to pick up at a meat market) 3 cans of juice from large cans of mushrooms not the mushrooms(save them for another day) Garlic Salt, Salt and Pepper to taste Fill a large bowl with flour Add a thin layer of garlic salt, salt and pepper on top of the flour and mix all together Dip skewers into the flour mixture and then dip the floured skewer into the mushroom juice Brown the meat on medium heat - use equal parts butter and crisco on a stove top After they are browned, put in a roaster pan and pour remaining mushroom juice and a little water on top of them in the roasting pan.

Bake in an oven at 350 degrees - 1 ½ to 2 hours or until meat is tender making sure to baste them occasionally

Contemporary Vision As you enter, clean lines, soft colors and subtle touches make Carl and Karen Fraker’s house striking and dramatic. The free floating staircase to the loft, embellished with glass, is stunning with alcove photos of grandchildren and unique sculpture accompaniments.

The drama in the home is created by a one-of-a-kind chandelier lighting the foyer and dining area.

The contemporary home features wood floors, a wall of glass, harmonizing shades of biscuit and ivory with aqua. An impressive kitchen with granite countertops and floor to ceiling cabinets, specifically designed for the house, features handy cut-outs.

Carl and Karen Fraker

The open living areas flow together with eye-catching artwork, delightful glassworks and whimsical additions, including the “fun” butler in the pantry.

Noticeable design touches continue in the guest bathroom and bedroom.

The home lends itself to entertaining which is a regular activity for the Frakers. Flowing nicely from room to room, this contemporary vision makes an architectural statement.

Health Watch Your Step Falls are dangerous

by Stephen Roberts PhD One in every four Americans fall each year! A friend of mine had a bad fall a few days ago. She fell off her dock onto stones. Very fortunately, other than some bruising, she was not hurt badly. Many of us are not so lucky.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC): Over 25% of older Americans fall each year.

Almost 3 million senior citizens end up in hospital emergency rooms to treat injuries such as broken bones from falls.

These falls result in 800,000 hospitalizations and 27,000 fatalities The majority of hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries are caused by falls.

Falling actually causes people to limit their activities to avoid future falls.

There are factors in our lives that increase the risk of falling. These variables include having weaker legs and hips, not being able to lift feet as well as when we were younger, use of depressant type medicines, not being able to see clearly, poor fitting shoes and being deficient in Vitamin D. The CDC has a program called STEADI that focuses on fall prevention for older people in the following areas: Exercise to Improve Balance and Strength, Review of Medications, Vision Check and Making Your Home Safer.

Exercising is very important as it improves your muscular strength and your stability. One very good exercise that is recommended is Tai Chi. Other exercises, recommended by the National Institutes of Health, to improve balance and increase strength, such as balance walk and back leg raises are found at the following site, with demonstration videos also included. https://nihseniorhealth. gov/exerciseandphysicalactivityexercisestotry/balanceexercises/01.html Reviewing of Medications, including those purchased over the counter, is very important since some medicines can make you tired or dizzy and increase your risk of falling. Perhaps changes can be made to decrease your risk.

Have Your Vision Checked, since not seeing properly can greatly increase your risk of falling.

Make Your Home Safer - CDC’s tips for protecting yourself from falls in your home include: • Pick up objects you may trip on • Get rid of throw rugs • Put handrails on stairs • Use non-slip mats in tub and shower • Put grab bars in and next to the tub and near the toilet • Improve lighting • Wear shoes instead of slippers • Put items you use a lot within easy reach • For further tips, visit https://nihseniorhealth.gov/falls/homesafety/01.html Finally, work to decrease the risk of falls during the upcoming winter months: Use winter shoes with rubber soles for traction Attach ice gripper sole covers for shoes Purchase an ice gripper cane tip Carry kitty litter in a Ziploc bag in your pocket to spread on slippery surfaces Attach a small flashlight to key rings Put in automatic lights over outside entrances Avoiding falls is very important, so be aware and attentive as you go about your daily activities.

Finance Home Sweet Home

Exploring housing finances— The best options for you

by Michael Siebenaler

Owners who have built home equity/value with their investment, can consider reverse mortgages. Reverse mortgages are special home loans that allow periodic or lump sum withdrawals of funds from the home equity/ value while the homeowner continues to pay the real estate taxes, utilities, and insurance premiums associated with the home. The reverse mortgage can be 55% to 70% of the total equity in the home (maximum of $625,500). Contact the National Council on Aging at (800) 510-0301 for more information.

Home Equity Loans

Home equity loans (a.k.a. second mortgages) require a monthly payment to reduce principal and interest, while still paying real estate taxes, utilities, and hazard and flood insurance premiums. These differ from reverse mortgages, which do not mandate a monthly payment.

Assisted Living

Be sure to research any consultants and companies who offer professional planning/services regarding the housing of a loved one(s). Do not wait for a medical emergency. Take action now,” says Moyer.

Housing ownership involves a financial investment which provides tax benefits (e.g. deductions for real estate taxes and mortgage interest) though owners must consider maintenance, insurance, property taxes, and caretaking (while you’re away or if you are unable due to health concerns).

“Be sure to keep up communication among person(s) living in the community and assisted living staff, care providers, and any others involved,” says Dave Moyer, executive director of Oakleaf Village of Toledo and recent Executive Director of the Year recipient from the Ohio Assisted Living Association.

Assisted living housing (a.k.a. assisted living residences (ALRs) occurs in varied housing facilities where people cannot live alone, but do not require extensive care, typically provided by a nursing home community. Assisted living care typically includes household tasks, transportation, food preparation, bathing/dressing assistance, social planning, special outings, and other activities.

REA

Housing and care considerations become important emotional and financial factors as we age. Options when thinking of relocating include renting versus owning, reverse mortgages, and assisted living, as well as other options.

House owners living in the midwestern United States generally pay less monthly than housing renters. Renting typically involves lower financial risks and provides flexibility if you’re planning to move but likely offers less lifestyle freedom (e.g. pets not allowed, etc.).

Bar 145, Toledo’s first gastropub

A sweet mix of burgers, bourbon and bands

By Tom Konecny Five years have passed since the opening of Toledo’s first gastropub – Bar 145 – and if you haven’t tried their inimitable combination of made to order food and drinks in a relaxed setting, you’ve been missing out. The 145 in the name refers to the temperature of a perfectly cooked medium rare burger, the warm pink center and slightly crispy outside providing an amazing contrast that is hard to resist.

The gastropub concept was born in England in the 1980s, when neighborhood pubs, generally offering only drinks and snacks, began to offer food, giving rise to a new concept. Here in America the gastropub is now known as a place for hand-crafted, often locally sourced, food in a bar setting.

Burgers & bourbon Living up to its slogan, “Burgers – Bands – Bourbon,” Bar 145 cranks out a menu that succeeds by keeping things simply gourmet.

Among its celebrated Signature Burgers (each accompanied by an order of truffle fries) are the Simpleton, piling thick cut bacon, cream cheese, sautéed mushrooms and onions atop a hand formed beef patty on a toasted onion roll ($11.99) and the popular Balsamic Bleu burgers with stella blue cheese, balsamic glaze, and arugula on a toasted pretzel roll($11.99).

There’s plenty of others: kimchi burger, pork belly burger, and bison burger, or build your own with over 23 toppings, from roasted red peppers to peach habanero chutney, and 14 housemade sauces to choose from.

20

Other menu items rotate regularly and during my recent visit they offered street tacos – beef cheek, pulled pork, salmon or duck confit tacos ($3.50 -$4 each) were authentic with a fresh and wholesome twist.

You can’t go wrong with Bar 145’s zesty sriracha fries as a side dish and we also enjoyed (okay, fought over) the mega-popular pretzel bites, served with cheese fondue (10 for $6.99). The bourbon selection is impressive — try over 40 of them — plus pick from over 40 draft beers.

Fitzgerald also appreciates a good band and brings many P-I-B favorites to Toledo and to his nine Bar 145 locations in Ohio and beyond. Fitzgerald launched the hip, playful Reset arcade bar – connected to Bar 145 which offers plenty of post-meal fun with old-school arcade games.

Employees wear sweet kicks – red Converse Chuck Taylors – a vivid reminder of the Bar 145 culture clash: high-end food on white china served in a relaxed, spirited setting, delivering the gastropub experience.

Bands, too 11:30 am-2:00 am every day, 5305 Monroe St., Toledo, Jeremy Fitzgerald, co-owner 419-593-0073, bar145toledo.com and founder, brought the restaurant concept to Toledo following his food service experience at Putin-Bay, where his family owned several restaurants.

Veggie mac “I just knew Toledo needed something nicer to cater to the business 1 bag pasta (6 oz) crowd,” said Fitzger3 oz roasted mushroom ald. “I wanted high-end 1 tsp black truffle scratch bar food taken to (halves) 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes a higher level. We take 1/4 cup red onion bar food and put our 1/4 cup spinach own twist on it.” oz. heavy cream 6 1/4 cup parmesan cheese 1/4 cup micro greens

Theater Eating adjectives Some meals sound so sumptuous when described— but would you really opt to listen instead of eat? For Victor, owner of a fourstar French Café du Grand Boeuf, a “feast of adjectives and adverbs” is on the menu.

An Empty Plate in the Café du Grand Boeuf presents a unique order: Victor wants to die of starvation at his own table. After protest, the staff and Victor achieve a curious compromise— he will enjoy one last meal, but only if it consists of a “feast of adjectives and adverbs.” Bon appetit. $18/general, $16/seniors. 8pm Friday-Saturday, November 4-5. 8pm, Thursday-Saturday, November 10-12. 2pm, Sunday November 13.
