Church splashes into community service

Cornerstone Church will donate $50,000 to revitalize the Navarre Pool on the Toledo’s East Side this summer. Located on White Street, the pool has been closed for a few years due to lack of budget money to keep it open, according to Bishop Michael Pitts.

The pool is also near the Eastwood Theater, which the church recently renovated and use for services. Cornerstone adopted the pool as a project, offering kids a place to spend time during the summer. The pool is tentatively scheduled to open in June, Mondays-Saturdays, noon-6pm. White St. City Pool, 1001 White Street. Cornerstone Church, 1520 S Reynolds Rd. 419-725-5000. Cornerstonechurch.us —AP

City-County line

By Alison Wood-Osmun

Who do you trust, and why?

by Johnny Hildo

COU

Y

CIT

Tina Wozniak, President of the Lucas County Commissioners, says that there may be unintended consequences to asking the EPA to declare the Maumee River watershed impaired. She is worried that the declaration won’t have any real effect, and that it could do more harm than good to the local economy.

Meanwhile, Commissioner Carol Contrada agrees that the costs of a badly needed new local jail should be borne by the county. Prisoners are the responsibility of the Lucas County Sheriff, she reasons, and thus the county should take full responsibility.

And Commissioner Pete Gerken is concerned that the county’s budget has been badly damaged by questionable decisions by Governor Kasich and the state legislature. He has decided to ask the voters for a tax increase to right the fiscal ship.

A matter of trust

Oh, wait, that isn’t right. It wasn’t the county commissioners who said all those things. It was leadership of the City of Toledo. Who worry that an impaired watershed declaration would not fix the problem of algae-feeding nutrients coming from the agricultural upstream part of the watershed. And would instead limit the ability of business to locate in the downstream city, and force major investment into the sewage treatment plant, which would have minimal actual impact on algal bloom problems anyway.

It is the city who argues that the state constitution dictates that all prisoners, regardless of the jurisdiction that arrests them and under what law, are the responsibility of county sheriffs. And it is the city that notes the millions of dollars siphoned off by the state, which has devastated the city budget. City leadership has asked city voters for a tax increase, and have been repudiated at the ballot box.

The county commissioners have taken a stance opposed to the city on the first two issues. Yet it seems that the opinion of the county leaders are rarely questioned, while the stance of city leaders is automatically suspect.

What gives?

Why does the county automatically have more credibility than the city?

Let’s break it down. As the story goes, the county has worked successful

www.toledocitypaper.com

economic development deals, most notably the two sports complexes downtown. The county budget is always flush with cash. The county regularly announces new, important programs, like the land bank, poised to revitalize neighborhoods. How have they been so successful, while the city struggles? Is it a leadership deficit?

Commissioners and other mythical creatures

Much of the county reputation has been built on myth. Economic development?

What about the old Fiberglas Tower, the empty eyesore in the heart of downtown?

Where has the county been on that boondoggle for over a decade? And the old Hotel Seagate sits nearby, half of it torn down, the rest thrusting ragged and weary into the sky. Seems there was a miscalculation on the amount of asbestos removal needed.

Fifth Third Field and Huntington Center? Undoubtedly they have helped revitalize downtown. Well, half of downtown. Because both facilities, plus the convention center, were placed in ways that cut off through streets, chopping downtown into the revitalizing south side and the struggling area to the north.

Budget stability? The county quietly passed a sales tax last year. No, you didn’t vote on it. The county only needs two votes to raise the tax. Two of the three commissioners. In this case, all three said, “Raise that tax!” The city, of course, must take tax increases to the voters. All the voters. A much steeper hill to climb, and the city budget continues to suffer.

And the land bank? The county funded that by unilaterally raising fees on land transfers. Two votes needed. The raise in fees passed three to none.

The county gets much of its budget from federal and state sources, as a pass through. Most of the rest is from sales and other taxes you don’t get to vote for.

Easy to balance a budget when you get to write the blank checks.

Why does the county get a pass on all these things? Have they really been more credible? Or is it all just better PR? Ask yourself that next time you look up at the empty Fiberglas Tower.

Ask again when you hear the ongoing disagreements between the city and county.

The beauty of the underwater world at the Toledo Zoo Aquarium.

A visit to the award-winning Toledo Zoo, with its outstanding indoor and outdoor enclosures is a great way to spend the day. Here are a few adventures you won’t want to miss.

Indoor Exhibits:

The bright, outdoor-like openness of the refurbished aviary allows you be part of the experience as you walk through the space while birds fly overhead, alighting on branches and greenery. Charts identifying the birds make it fun to locate the various species as they move around the exhibit. The red collared widow bird with its long tail and the blue lacy headed victoria crowned pigeon are real standouts. Visit the nursery to see the colorful young birds, especially the purple, yellow and red feathered baby gouldian finches.

You can also visit the new aquarium, an amazing underwater experience.

Large tanks stretch from floor to ceiling, and reflections of the water and lighting create the incredible visual sensation that you are actually standing inside the tank surrounded by colorful plants and coral while the fish swim by you. Enjoy the moon jellyfish tank where you can press buttons to change the jelly fishes’ colors. Seek out the seahorse display to watch these odd creatures move gracefully through the water.

Other exhibits not to miss: naked mole rats running mazes in the elephant house, vampire bats hang out in Nature’s Neighborhood’s blue house and the Museum of Science’s cool creepy crawlies like gigantic walking sticks, hairy spiders and other awesome bugs.

Outdoor Exhibits:

As you exit the Tempo Trail, look for the meerkat colony on your way to watch the sleek sea otters dive into the water and swim up to the glass to say hello to you. The underwater viewing of the penguins (Penguin Beach) shows

Pause to take in the colony of flamingos (Flamingo Key) that create a breathtaking expanse of bright pink color as they preen and call out to each other around the pond.

You’ll want to visit the beautiful white wolves near the Arctic Encounter before you take the safari railway to get a behind-the-scenes look at some of the animals. Scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend, Africa Expeditions features adventure activities within the Africa Exhibit (giraffe, ostrich and zebra) including zip lining, obstacle course/sky bridge trekking and giraffe feeding (additional fees and reservations required).

The Toledo Zoo 2 Hippo Way (Anthony Wayne Trail Entrance) or 2700 Broadway (Broadway Entrance). January –April 10am to 4pm. May -September 10am to 5pm. Admission: Adults $19, Children under 12 and Seniors $16, under 2 years free. Standard vehicle parking $7. Visit toledozoo.org for info and maps.

The Defunding of Planned Parenthood and the Potential Consequences for Ohio

By Michael Pierce Ohio Governor John Kasich recently signed a bill that will take $1.3 Million in federal grants away from Planned Parenthood and similar clinics across Ohio— following the wave of anti-abortion legislation brought on nationally in recent years by Republican legislatures.

How will this legislation affect access to reproductive health care for women in low-income families in Ohio? Where will the money that used to serve Planned Parenthood go? And who pays for abortions, anyways?

In recent years, many states across the country have adopted laws that restrict access to abortion. Ohio, under Governor John Kasich, is no exception.

Since taking office in 2011, Kasich has enacted several regulatory measures that restrict access— with the claimed intent of “protecting women’s health”. Most recently in February 2016, Governor Kasich signed House Bill 294, which will divert $1.3 million in budgeted federal grant money away from Planned Parenthood.

How will this legislation affect access to reproductive heal th care for women in low-income families in Ohio? Where will the money that used to serve Planned Parenthood go? And who pays for abortions, anyways?

House Support

With the support of the Republican majority in the Ohio House, HB 294 made its way to Kasich’s desk in a 62-32 party-line vote (for a full list of voters in the House, see legislature.ohio.gov), and was signed by the Governor on February 21st, centering the conversation around the bill’s implications for access to reproductive health care, particularly for lowincome women.

The regulations adopted by HB 294 will require the Ohio Department of Health to “ensure that state funds and certain federal funds are not used either to perform or promote nontherapeutic abortions, or to contract or affiliate with any entity performs or promotes non-therapeutic abortions”.

Following the Rules

A nontherapeutic abortion refers to a procedure where the life of the mother is not endangered by the pregnancy— even when the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest. Currently, under Ohio law, a pregnant woman will not have federal funding to support her in getting an abortion unless her life is in danger because of pregnancy complications.

The Federal law, known as the Hyde Amendment, already prevents federal dollars from going towards nontherapeutic abortions. And similarly in Ohio, Revised Code Section 5101.56 mandates that state and local funds cannot be used

“They’ve lost credibility,” Kasich told CNN in a recent interview about Planned Parenthood. “We just can’t operate through that organization anymore. But we’re going to make sure that we have the places where women can go to get the treatment that they need.”

The most notable federal grant program that Planned Parenthood will no longer have access to the Title X Family Planning Program, enacted by Richard Nixon, intended to provide family planning and health services to uninsured and low-income families. According to the Kasich administration, “The Ohio Department of Health has at least 150 other sub-grantees and contractors for the affected grants and projects that address issues of infant mortality, violence against women, and minority HIV/ AIDS.” But the question remains— what are these sub-grantees and contractors?

And what programs do they have in place to address these issues?

Moving Dollars to Federally Qualified Facilities

In February 2016, Governor Kasich signed House Bill 294, which will divert $1.3 million in budgeted federal grant money away from Planned Parenthood. for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or in cases where the pregnancy has left the mother in a “life-endangering physical condition”.

Video Fraud in Texas

Support for the bill gained traction last year when the infamous “Planned Parenthood abortion profit” video was released in Texas by two anti-abortion activists, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt. In the video, the pair posed as

a research company looking to illegally purchase fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood. After an investigation, a Texas grand jury cleared Planned Parenthood of any wrongdoing and indicted Daleiden and Merritt for using a fake government record “with intent to harm”.

Despite the findings of the Texas grand jury and the evidence of fraud on the part of the anti-abortion activists, John Kasich continues to site the video as one of his reasons for the defunding measures.

April 6 • April 19

Dubbed the Planned Parenthood Bill, Ohio’s House Majority Floor Leader Barbara Sears (District 47, which includes Lucas and Fulton counties) explains HB 294 as “A prioritization bill on how we’re going to fund access to services.” She fully supports the bill, saying, “Quite frankly, this increases access (to health care) dramatically, because it moves these dollars over to our federally qualified facilities that can apply for the grant funding.”

Sears further notes that “We’ve been putting this money into 28 Planned Parenthood facilities around the state.

Now, we have the ability to move these dollars to over 250 federally qualified facilities throughout Ohio. This will have the effect of increasing access in both urban and rural areas.”

Available Services Unsubstantiated

But one local leader feels differently.

“She’s blowing smoke,” claims state representative Teresa Fedor (District 45). “The centers that she is talking about are fledging, and they were set up really quickly.”

“Low-income families are going to be adversely affected by this,” says Fedor. “Planned Parenthood provides preventative services and reproductive

www.toledocitypaper.com

health care like birth control, cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment, and they offer many other reproductive health services— it’s a lot more than just abortions.”

According to their 2015 annual report, of all the services offered by Planned Parenthood, abortions are only 3% of the agency’s overall activity. “In fact, the government does not fund abortions,” said Fedor in reference to the Hyde Amendment.

Defunding Planned Parenthood will allow for “increased access to health care”.

Where Are These Other Facilities?

“Our brand-new site is right next to the Planned Parenthood building” says Doni Miller, CEO of the Neighborhood Health Association. This organization oversees more than ten locations around the city— a number of which are being consolidated as the new facility, Nexus Healthcare, slated to open this summer. The anticipated health center, at 1415 Jefferson Avenue, is literally across the street from Toledo’s Planned Parenthood, which sits at the corner of Jefferson and 13th.

“We absolutely will fully consider the opportunity for funding when it becomes available. We serve, in essence, the same population, and we’ve been around for about 50 years,” says Miller. She encourages anyone in the community to reach out: “Anyone who wants to get connected with us or simply to tour the sites can call my office.”

According to Miller, they “have a really strong women’s health program, and we provide all of the services that Planned Parenthood does. The ability to pay is not a factor. We see absolutely

If the Government Doesn’t Pay for Abortions, Then Who Does?

State Representative Barbara Sears

These replacement facilities are not equal, and “low-income families are going to be adversely affected by this”.

State Representative Teresa Fedor anybody, whether they have insurance or not.” Unlike Planned Parenthood, Nexus Healthcare does not conduct abortions, but Miller notes that “our local Planned Parenthood doesn’t provide abortions either.”

What about other federally qualified Lucas County facilities? A dental clinic— Neighborhood Health Association Dental— a pediatric clinic— NHA Pediatrics; hardly the types of facilities providing services comparable to Planned Parenthood.

hostage by Kasich’s bill— a doctor simply cannot run the risk of losing funding because of a patient discussion covering all of her options Additionally, some of these facilities do not have a certified OB-GYN healthcare provider on site, do not provide STD testing, birth control, mammograms, nor do they all accept Medicaid. While some of these facilities offer comprehensive care, including dental and vision, they do not provide the same scope and depth of women’s health care as Planned Parenthood.

Limiting Physician Options

Kasich’s bill strictly prohibits the state from contracting services with any organization that performs or promotes non-therapeutic abortions, which means that “qualified facilities” could be defunded if they refer women to abortion clinics, or contract with a hospital or physician that provides abortions. This limits the scope of treatment for the patient, and limits a facility’s access to resources and doctors. Despite a doctor’s view on abortion, the options of physicians are held

“If a woman wants an abortion she needs to pay for that on her own,” says Nicole Evans, marketing and communications director for Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio. “None of the funds that we receive from the federal government go to providing abortions. So, by cutting these funds, they’re not stopping or curbing abortions; what they’re doing is putting more women in Ohio at risk.”

The $1.3 million that Kasich will take away from Planned Parenthood, according to Evans, “was designated for educational programs, including breast and cervical cancer screenings, STD and HIV testing and treatment, our infant mortality program called Healthy Moms Healthy Babies, a personal responsibility program targeting youth, foster care, and judicial systems, and a VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) grant program that teaches young men and women about intimate partner relationships and setting boundaries.”

Planned Parenthood’s Impact on Toledoans Four local women share their stories:

They helped give birth to a healthy baby.

Amanda Jo Miller

A routine exam saved her life.

“I had never been to Planned Parenthood prior to unexpectedly getting pregnant at 22. I had just gotten out of a really bad relationship, and didn’t know what to do. The lady in the office literally held me while I cried…. They offered prenatal, OB/GYN, and adoption services information. [They] mentioned options, but abortion wasn’t even one of them. The compassion that I received from Planned Parenthood is really the thing that stuck out the most. Many people have a negative perception of Planned Parenthood, thinking that it’s only about abortions, but it is much more than that.”

Megan Purtee

Without health insurance, Purtee accessed the services of Planned Parenthood. A few years ago, during a routine exam they found precancerous cells in her uterus: “After finding some issues with my pap smear, they asked me to get a colposcopy,” says Purtee. “The staff there was very kind. They spoke with me about my options and their funding programs. I was able to get a procedure to remove the cells— which is very expensive without their funding programs.”

Her latest checkup was completely normal. Megan is thankful, saying, “It’s such a relief to have a place like this, and their yearly checkups are wonderful.

Who knows what I would have done had they not been around. It’s possible that they helped save my life.”

Curbing the Infant Mortality Rate

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Ohio is ranked fourth highest, or worst, of the fifty states in infant-mortality rates.

“I don’t think that Planned Parenthood does anything to lower our numbers on infant mortality,” says Sears.

“We’re already about the worst in the country, with respect to infant mortality.

So why would we want to keep spending that money the way we are now when we’re getting such lousy outcomes?”

She also noted that $250,000 of the grant money is being earmarked for anti-smoking, birth-spacing, and safe sleep programs— all designed to lower the infant mortality rate in Ohio.

“Maybeweneedtohaveaconversation about drug abuse, mental health, or the environment that the baby is being taken home to. Planned Parenthood doesn’t do that,” says Sears. “They help women take preventative measures and they offer health screenings, but they’re certainly not holding your hand when you’re in the delivery room, like they would at a federally qualified healthcare center.”

Planning for Parenthood

Contrary to Sears’ view, Evans, Planned Parenthood Executive, contends that Planned Parenthood does have such programs in place. Take, for example Healthy Moms Healthy Babies is “one of Planned Parenthood’s most impressive programs”, according to Evans. This program focuses on individually working with women before, during, and after pregnancy for up to two years.

“The program connects people with vital resources within their community— it’s like a personal concierge that really helps people through the process,” Evans explains. The infant mortality rate in Ohio is abysmal, and the money that’s being taken out of this program, in particular, is really an encroachment.”

Teresa Fedor believes that “We have

“year after year the Ohio Department of Health has decided that Planned Parenthood is the most strategically positioned healthcare provider to make the best use of those federal dollars.

They haven’t said publicly exactly how they’re going to fill that gap.”

to other entities, because those entities need to match or exceed the requirements for the grant set forth by the federal government.”

Calls to the Ohio DoH for comment to be included in this article went unreturned.

Will Planned Parenthood Stay Open?

The Toledo location, at 1301 Jefferson Avenue, along with the other clinics in Ohio will continue to offer their core services. None of the 28 Planned Parenthood facilities in Ohio will close because of the new law.

“The reality is that we’ll still be able to run our clinics. We’re still committed to doing what we do best which

is providing reproductive healthcare to over 80,000 Ohioans every year. We will continue to do that through our health centers, though we won’t be able to do as much with our community outreach programs,” says Evans.

Without the grant money, Planned Parenthood will be cutting back on what appears to be the same kinds of outreach programs that the anti-abortion lawmakers are saying that we desperately need more of. Where exactly that money will go and how it will be used remains unclear.

For more information and to get involved with these issues, visit the Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio website (ppao.org).

- State Representative Fedor The National Provider Identifier Database (npidb.org), lists 294 federally qualified health centers in Ohio. Lucas County’s locations include: the infrastructure in place with Planned Parenthood as a provider to families, and they’ve been uprooted with nothing substantial to provide the services in it’s place. The centers that she (Representative Sears) is talking about aren’t necessarily setup to handle these issues.”

Evans echoes this sentiment: “The reality is that this money comes from the Ohio Department of Health, through to Planned Parenthood. There is an aggressive and vigorous process that they use to identify the best provider of care that they’re looking for to fulfill their requirements, and year after year the Ohio Department of Health has decided that Planned Parenthood is the most strategically positioned healthcare provider to make the best use of those federal dollars. They haven’t said publicly exactly how they’re going to fill that gap.”

Some of these programs have been in place for almost two decades. According to Evans, “the question is, how is the Ohio Department of Health going to find a replacement? So far no one has been able to answer that question directly. It’s not as simple as reallocating the money

Of these clinics, only the Toledo Lucas County Health Center, Nexus Healthcare and the Huron Women’s Clinic offer the services of a certified OB-GYN healthcare physician. Most of these clinics offer the NHA’s “Women and Children” program, which includes nutritional support for pregnant women and young children– but does not offer OB-GYN or pharmacy services.

Without insurance, she wouldn’t have found the cancer.

Even with health insurance, the wait can be too long.

Last November, a pap smear revealed an abnormal biopsy that ultimately turned out to be early stages of cervical cancer:

“Planned Parenthood may have literally saved my life. I was kicked off my parent’s insurance when I was 19, and at the time, they were my only option for routine health screenings. Had I not been able to go there, I wouldn’t have had any other option,” says DeShelter.

Thankfully, she now has health insurance and is able to treat the problem. But, had she waited until now to be screened? DeShelter says, “The cancer would be much worse. I trust Planned Parenthood. They’ve always been very compassionate with me, and they believe in what they’re doing. I’m just very upset that our political leaders are taking money away from them.”

“I did have health insurance, but to get put on birth control I had to see an OB/GYN. It was going to take three months to get in under my insurance provider. Planned Parenthood got me in the day that I called. It was amazing care. Honestly, it felt a little more comfortable because that’s what they specialize in. It wasn’t like at my doctor’s office where they couldn’t care less. What if I thought I had an STD or needed a cancer screening, and I had to wait three months before I could get tested?

With Planned Parenthood, you can just make an appointment online, see someone the same day— and you don’t need to have insurance.”

Hafner Florist

5139 S. Main St., Sylvania 419-885-7033 • hafnerflorist.com I spent several hours with Kelli Baker, Wedding Floral Designer, leading up to the wedding. She was very patient with me while I shared my likes and dislikes with her. She blew me away with sample arrangements she prepared for our final meeting. On the big day, all the bouquets, centerpieces and candelabras were stunning.

St. Hyacinth Catholic Church

att and I were introduced to each other by friends in high school, and the rest is history. We experienced several milestones together, including Matt leaving for the Marine Corps in 2013. His absence brought us closer together. Less than a year later, we were engaged. Both of us were born and raised in the Toledo area, so we decided to shop locally for our wedding vendors. We feel you get significantly better service and it helps the local community and economy. Both of us were surprised by how quickly the wedding day went. My advice to future couples is to simply relax, and enjoy— this day is about you two and nothing else.

719 Evesham • 419-536-5124 stcharlesshyacinthtoledo.org St. Hyacinth is a beautiful church and close to our home. We felt a connection with the church as well as Deacon Pence who married us. Matthew and I were lucky enough to have Deacon Pence’s daughter, Katherine stand by our side as my Maid of Honor. It was an extra bonus that there were nice sized rooms in the church basement for the guys and gals to get ready in. continued on page 10

uke and I were highschool sweethearts and University of Toledo May 2015 graduates. Being from the Toledo area our entire lives, it was a given to get married in Toledo. Our entire wedding day went perfectly and we couldn’t have accomplished any of this without our wedding providers. My advice to future brides and grooms is to enjoy every second of the planning process. While it may get stressful at times, all that truly matters is you get to marry the love of your life and start your forever together. Our favorite moment on our big day was being able to hug and have all our family there to celebrate with us.

Green Lantern Diner stays the course

PhoTO via wetransfer.com

Culinary

Saturday, 4.16

In a town with iconic restaurant’s like Packo’s, Mancy’s and Schmucker’s, another venerable food deity begs to make the list of treasured stops: the Green Lantern Diner.

If you haven’t heard of it, you don’t know Toledo. If you haven’t visited it recently, you’re missing out. And if you’ve heard of it, but never noticed it when driving down Broadway – well, it is tiny.

Bucking the trend

Green Lantern does the nostalgic, classic diner very well. It’s been family owned and operated since opening in 1927 near the train (and now bus) terminal, Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaza.

Serving classic American food, the Green Lantern has sustained their brick and mortar with tradition. “This is the oldest diner in Lucas County, and it’s never changed the food,” said Moe Habbouche, owner, who took over the operation in 1989 from his father-in-law, leaving the menu untouched. And that’s the reason for his restaurant’s longevity, which is no secret to its steady stream of regulars, says Habbouche: “You’ve got to be friendly with the people, and you’ve got to respect them. Don’t add, don’t change, don’t do anything to it. I’ve seen so many (restaurants) go out of business who can’t do those things.”

Eat it or go hungry

There’s plenty of traditional fare on the menu, and that’s a good thing.

Anyone who frequents diners expects predictability. Lantern’s made-fresh-toorder goodness eschews heat lights and warming trays.

Finding it hard to totally abandon my health-nut convictions, I took great pleasure in meeting my sensibilities halfway, with a chicken sandwich, while my cohort feasted on a classic hamburger and fries — reminding me that sometimes it’s okay to indulge.

April 6• April 19

The menu carries its share of cleverly-named sandwiches— such as the Handy-Andy (double cheeseburger deluxe) and Humpty Dumpty (double sausage deluxe)– two of its most popular sandwiches, according to Habbouche .And a quick stop for one of its smooth, thick milkshakes would make anyone’s dull afternoon at work instantly tolerable.

On the right track

In fact, the diner’s name has nothing to do with the superhero, but rather the lanterns once used as railroad communication signals, which is fitting, given its locale. Habbouche has one on display, along with his pride in Toledo, which he shares verbally or through the numerous skyline pictures on his walls.

Habbouche, a bit of a local celebrity as a regular on Denny Schaeffer’s Star 105 morning show every Monday, has helped his diner with the notoriety. However, he’s always enjoyed strong customer support from nearby downtown workers, as well as every Toledo mayor since Donna Owens in the ‘80s.

If you want to visit, you’ll have to do it over breakfast or lunch— Habbouche purposely limits his hours on the noble premise that “money isn’t everything, and evening is family time.”

So, take heed should your magic ring power you down Broadway, because Green Lantern delivers firmly on all the diner super powers you deserve: excellent food, fair prices and friendly service.

Green Lantern Diner, 509 Broadway St. 419-241-3752. open Mon.-Sat. 6 a.m.-2 p.m.

Toledo Beer Week offers beer-centric fun #DrinkBeer419

Water for Ishmael, a local nonprofit benefitting refugees in the Toledo area, will host their annual International Dinner. This year focusing on aiding refugee high school students. In addition to school supplies, many of these students need help assimilating into American student life. The goal is to raise $15,000 for five current high school refugees and future students. Attendees will feast on cuisine from around the world while meeting the high school students receiving aid. The event will also have live performances and an international bazaar. Tickets can be purchased online. 6:30pm-8:30pm Friday, April 15. $15/adult, $12/ages 5-10, free/ages 5 and under. Epworth United Methodist Church, 4855 W Central Ave. waterforishmael.org —PP

Toledo has great beer, and wants to show it off. See what the Glass City’s bubbling craft beer community is all about with special keg tappings, food pairings, tastings, a brewer’s olympics, collaboration brews, and more beercentric events during the 2nd annual Toledo Beer Week (TBW), April 18-24.

Local restaurants, bars and bakeries (creating beer infused breads and sweets) are participating— each putting their own “stamp� on TBW. During the week, ask a bartender for a TBW passport to collect stamps from participating venues. Five stamps lands you a TBW coozie.

Tap into it April 7 is the official opening of Hensville, which includes Fleetwood’s Tap Room. The beer mecca features 75 different brews, from local, regional and global breweries with 48 taps, many of which rotate monthly.

Toledo welcomes The Second City

Toledo’s Own Jewish Film Festival

The legendary group comes to town

By Jon Ruggiero

Jewish Federation to showcase culturally significant films

By Sam Koros

Andrew Knox, Alan Linic & Liz Reuss act out a skit in Hooking Up with The Second City What do George Wendt, Bob Odenkirk, and current Late Show host Stephen Colbert have in common? One of the most important comedy enterprises in the country— The Second City.

The legendary comedy club and school of improvisation will show off its talents in Toledo at the Valentine Theater on Saturday, April 16 with their travelling show, “Hooking Up with The Second City”.

The Second City first opened in 1959 as a small cabaret theater on Chicago’s north side as a place for alternative comedy. Since then, the group’s unique form of improv blended with satirical social comedy has helped develop some of the biggest names. Numerous Saturday Night Live cast members have come from the Second City, and their well known alumni includes Bill Murray, John Candy, Martin Short, Tina Fey and Chris Farley.

See the new generation of The Second City during their touring company’s new show, “Hooking Up with The Second City” about relationships and the mixed-up, crazy things we do for love.

Drunk in love

The down and out alcoholic artist— hardly a new story, and perhaps a cliché, but a true story, and one that fits Amedeo Modigliani, the Italian Jewish painter and sculptor that shook up the Parisian avant-garde in the early 1900s. Known for his elongated, feminine portraits— and his crippling alcoholism— Modigliani’s final year is the subject of the 1958 black and white film, “Modigliani of Montparnasse”. Directed by Jacques Becker, the memoir details the love story between Modigliani and the daughter of a wealthy family which did not support their relationship. This special screening is part of the Art House Friday Film Series. 7pm Friday, April 15.

Storytelling comes full circle An Iliad— as told by Paul Causman

By Athena Cocoves

Paul Causman, a Toledo acting legend, will be the lone figure on stage, telling a story thousands of years old.

A storm of violence is brewing, a roaring thunder of revenge and destruction.

It’s a tragedy thousands of years old— soon to come to life through vocal lightning strikes, uttered by a single actor.

This violence, which started with Homer’s epic, will be remembered through Actors Collaborative Toledo’s (ACT) upcoming reading of Denis O’Hare, Lisa Peterson and Robert Fagle’s 2012 staged translation of “An Iliad,” performed by Paul Causman and directed by Barbara Barkan.

All of us, all at once

The man most of Toledo knows as Scrooge— in his yearly persona with The Toledo Rep’s “A Christmas Carol”— is currently preparing to take on a markedly different role. Causman will have no chorus, no props, no dialogue— he will be the single actor, a storyteller, with a script based on a story that has stood the test of time.

“It’s a lot of play,” said Causman, laughing. “The poem is about war. It’s not so much anti-war, but it’s about the humanity of war, the human condition, and our being in war all the time. It’s about violence, our addiction to rage and destruction... It is still so incredibly relevant to things going on in the world today.”

Using parts from Homer’s original epic, translated and woven with modern concerns— like someone cutting you off on the highway— “An Iliad” exposes revenge, vengeance, and violence to be nothing more than part of our humanity.

“An Iliad” is weighted by its own hidden meanings: the nameless man Causman will portray is all of us. “[My] character… seems obligated to come back throughout history during wartime. It’s his fate to come back and retell this story,” explained Causman.

24

April 6• April 19

“It’s [a story about] death, life, love, violence, destruction, rebuilding, it’s humanity… It’s the same as if it were in our DNA. It’s still a part of us today.

Those kind of themes are underneath the storytelling.”

The act of storytelling

For Causman, his role in “An Iliad” is unlike anything he has done before.

“This is paired down to the moment of the actor and audience, and that’s it,” said Causman. “It’s very exciting to not have to be another character— I can be me, talking to you, and you understand it because you’re you… Sometimes what can happen between and audience and a storyteller, in the minds of the audience, it is much more powerful than what you could ever put on a stage.”

Serving as ACT’s first benefit gala, “An Iliad” strikes a chord with ACT’s philosophy of showing contemporary theater that illustrates the power of an actor and a story.

“As far as the experience for the audience, “An Iliad” boils down to the language and the connection between teller and audience,” said John DuVall, a co-founder of ACT. “Causman is one of the icons of the Toledo theater scene and we are excited to have him.”

ACT will use proceeds from the gala to create educational workshops for high school actors, as well funding for the group’s second full season as a 501c3 non-profit.

7pm wine and hors d’oeuvres reception and fishbowl raffle, featuring works by local artists and services, & 8pm curtain, Saturday, April 16. $20. Trinity Episcopal Church, 316 Adams St. 419-205-0409. Act419.org

Diana Patton's goal is simple, yet remarkable: she wants to inspire women all over the world to overcome the tragedies in their life by using that same pain to advance themselves.

To that end, Patton, a Fostoria native and Toledo resident, is ready to share her personal tale of heartache and triumph. In her memoir, "Inspiration in My Shoes," Patton writes of a life spent facing adversity— from her abusive home life, to dealing with racism, to the pain of losing her brother to suicide. The raw emotion of her story can be felt on every page with a blunt honesty that Patton explains was very deliberate.

"Its intention is to really be as transparent as possible, to reach young women. Because in this day and age, I think young girls—15 to 25—are very knowledgeable about when people are truthful," Patton said in an interview.

Tumultuous Beginnings

Today, Patton is known as an attorney, a public speaker and as the former Vice President and COO for the Toledo Fair Housing Center— a position she recently left to focus on spreading her message and the release of the book. Her desire to fight for the rights of the underprivileged stems directly from her own life experiences, from the time of her birth in 1968 as one of seven siblings.

"We grew up with a very abusive father. My father was, I believe, mentally ill. He was sexually abusive to my sisters and I. No one really knew everything, but they kind of knew what was going on, in the small town of Fostoria,” said Patton.

Living in a tumultuous time for civil rights complicated Patton's sense of who

26

April 6• April 19

she was meant to be. "Dealing with the issues of abuse and my identity as an interracial child was very hard for me," Patton said. "And I tell that tale in part one of my book to explain, in very raw detail, all the things that happened to me and my sisters. Then, part two of the book, basically, is me coming out of that."

You Need to Write a Book

The desire to turn her story into a book began to crystallize when she met the man who would eventually become her husband and the father of her two children. "When we first met and I actually told him my life story, he said, 'Oh my God, you need to write a book!' That was in 1990," she said with a laugh.

"After my brother passed in 2007, [that] was when I started to ink the story.

And then, I thought, 'What, am I crazy?'"

The demons of self-doubt caused her to stop working on the book until she gave a TEDx talk in September of 2014.

"Then that feeling came back again...that ever gnawing feeling that, 'You've got to finish this.' So I just asked God to give me strength," Patton said.

Patton's ultimate hope— now that "Inspiration in My Shoes" is in readers' hands— is to help others overcome the pain in their lives. "There's a lot of healing that hasn't happened, that I didn't know about. Even in writing my story.

And in my family, there's still more healing that has to happen.

"And so my prayer is that through this book, there's a complete circle," Patton said.

Celebrating a Decade of Glass Art Glass works leave the home for Hot Spot exhibit

By Athena Cocoves

Private collectors have the benefit of simply buying what they intuitively like.

—Jutta Page

If money was not an issue, and your home decor was determined exclusively by your aesthetic sensibilities, what would you display? Take a glimpse into private glass art collections in Toledo, and nationwide, during the Toledo Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibit, Hot Spot: Contemporary Glass from Private Collections, opening Friday, April 15.

Hitting home

As the curator of glass and decorative art at the Toledo Museum of Art, Jutta Page has a daunting task— curating the museum’s significant, time-tested works for educational benefit. “As museum curators, we have to be rational,” admitted Page. “[When purchasing works] I have to keep the overall development of the collection and the history of glass in mind, as well as our general art collection.

“Private collectors have the benefit of simply buying what they intuitively like,” explained Page, who has seen much fine glass work in private local collections during her past 13 years as a Toledo resident.

“In putting this exhibition together, I tried to borrow works by artists who are not currently represented in the collection… so this exhibit is really enriching… and gives exposure to the local public. If we are looking at the exhibit thematically, it certainly holds together very nicely with quite a range of techniques, individual artists, and countries represented.”

From the home of private collectors, the Trumbulls, this Ann Wolf later work by the studio glass artist.

Jutta Page, curator of glass and decorative art at the Toledo Museum of Art, has organized this exhibit in celebration of the Glass Pavilion’s 10 year anniversary.

A decade of discovery

Ten years ago, when the Glass Pavilion was built. Page began curating the objects that would move into the Glass Pavilion. “Whenever you are reinstalling works of art and you’re making connections slightly differently, the works look new to the viewer,” said Page. “That certainly will be the case for Hot Spot.”

Instead of moving a work from one museum gallery to the next, Page must now consider the placement of works from a private collector’s home into a public gallery.

“In the private home of individuals, these works have a very different context.

When they are moved to a professional gallery setting, they will have a very different appeal and look… They’ll look new,” said Page.

Page has curated more than 80 contemporary glass objects to exhibit at the TMA before they go back home September 18.

Toledo According to_____________!

Toledo’s a big town with a lot of friendly faces. Ever wonder what a walk in Ottawa Park, or throughout Downtown, is like for other residents? We’re stepping inside the soles and souls of Toledoans to learn how they fill up their glass city.

How Mike fills up his glass (city)

Mike Toth Age: 32 Occupation: Mobile Meals Marketing Coordinator/ drummer for Nine Lives and Not Fast Enüff/foodie Toledoan since: 1989

Too many people think Toledo is overridden by crime, but it’s wrong because I feel Toledo is a great place to live. So many great restaurants and local businesses that are thriving here.

When I am feeling a bit too much of Saturday night on a Sunday, I can always rely on Deet’s BBQ and lots of water to make my day better.

My favorite night out in Toledo was at Mud Hens’ Opening Day.

The Toledoan I most admire is. John Amato, the owner of Jupmode, who brought back the You Will Do Better in Toledo slogan.

When out of towners visit us, I always take them to Tony Packo’s or the Toledo Zoo.

The hardest thing about living in Toledo is dodging road construction, but the best thing is the live music scene.

I always brag about Toledo’s great food and music scene.

When I want to unwind I go to Swig.

To find inspiration, I go to Side Cut Metropark.

Going to Hollywood Casino Toledo makes me feel like I am out of town.

Acoustics for Autism is my favorite annual event.

I go to The Docks for the best view in Toledo.

I wish Trotters Tavern was still open.

The first three words that come to mind about Toledo are: Home, music, food.

If I ever forget to buy a present for a special occasion, I know Jupmode will hook me up with a great gift.

I know Balance Pan-Asian Grille will satisfy my munchies.

My favorite neighborhood is The Old West End.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Make a list of goals and resolutions to put into effect when the new moon makes its annual visit to your sign the 7th. Shop for bargains on the 9th. Spend time at home the 12th and 13th. Mars slows down the 17th and so will you.

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) The

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) People from your

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) A

past come back into your life the 7th and 8th.

Look at income and outgo the 10th. You stay busy and file taxes on time. You may go from being a winner to a loser the 18th but on the 19th it’s HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Starting the 5th

look at your tax forms and make any necessary corrections. The new moon the 7th brings requests for your help in community affairs. Say “yes” to at least one. Mail your taxes the 18ththen prepare to go behind the scenes.

new moon on the 7th is in your seventh house. If you do not have a perfect partner, start looking.

The week of the 11th work on travel plans for spring and summer. Be careful driving on the 18th and 19th. special trip the 9th and 10th is relaxing. Take a chance and be a winner the 12th. Make plans the 16th and 17th for a summer vacation. Pluto (your ruling planet) slows down on the 18th and so will you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) You are lucky on the 7th so take a chance

or two. Your love life can be exciting the 9th and 10th. Mars slows down in your sign the 17th; Pluto on the 18th. Your financial picture is gloomy then. Taxes?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) The new moon the 7th calls attention to your career. You think of making changes to get more responsibility. An interview the 12th or 13th could bring results.

Mars slows down and tells you not to sign on the dotted line on the 17th.

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19)

LEO (July 23-August 22) Do something

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) The new moon on the 7th helps you select a new car, computer, or phone to stay current with technology. Do some research the week of the 11th.

The 16th is party time! You may lose a little bit of energy the 18th.

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) The new moon on the 7th calls attention to your budget.

Be sure there is enough to pay your taxes. On the 17th, 18th and 19th three things affect you. On the 17th and 18th you are lucky. On the 19th you are misunderstood.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) On the

spectacular on the 8th or 9th and also place a bet while your luck is good. On the 17th and 18th you notice that people around you are grouchy. Listen to their problems. Pay attention to your career starting the 19th.

Relax on the 9th and 10th. The week of the 11th pick up loose pieces of evidence you need to file your taxes on the 18th. Your imagination runs wild then which is unusual – normally you are stable and practical.

7th make a realistic budget. Stick to it for a while so you can pay your taxes. Some work shows up the 17th. Then Mars and Pluto both slow down and you may be easily confused.

Avoid making decisions.

STYLE SENSE

by Monique Ward

Kristy Dutton

Age: 37 Occupation: Account Executive with iHeartMedia A bubbly personality and colorful style may be lacking in corporate America but if Kristy Dutton is in your office, there is no shortage of either. As a local account executive for a nationwide broadcasting company, Kristy prides herself in bringing a lot of flavor to the job.

Dutton is also a “Cheer Mom” to her daughter— so there are a lot of opportunities to showcase her great sense of fashion.

What makes your style sense so awesome?

I like to have fun with it… trying new colors and thinking outside the box. Working in corporate America, I have to balance a professional appearance with the latest trends.

Lauren Momenee, Matthew Baessler, Marc Gerdeman and Brad Bigelow

Oberon Release Party Spring is welcomed with the addition of Bell’s Oberon Ale on tap at The Pub at The Paula Brown Shop.

Where is your best “dress-up your outfit” accessory?

Different blazers of various colors as well as scarves. A girl can never have too many scarves!

What is the best outfit that flatters your curvaceous figure?

I’ve always had a shape so I have found that a colorful dress that isn’t too long or short with some dark tights, a cute jacket, complements my figure. Plus, some black ankle boots to go with it.

Where do you find the coolest stuff that’s in your closet?

Oh man! I love Burlington, Plato’s Closet, Clothes Mentor and JC Penney. They always have great deals and clothing items that you won’t find anywhere else.

Chris & Greg Taylor

You are a mom of a teenage daughter… how does she feel about your jazzy style?

She loves it and thanks me all the time for giving her my eclectic eye for fashion. Funny thing is, she has become my styling consultant, especially at times when I can’t figure out what to wear.
