Et tu, Mikey P.?

What to watch on the Ides of March

by Johnny Hildo

Interesting coincidence that this year’s Primary Election falls on March 15th. The Ides of March are considered ominous, a risky date with dark overtones of loss and death.

At first glance, it would seem the Ides aren’t particularly risky for most of the candidates in City Politics. Most are running unopposed for their Party’s nomination. Those who have an opponent are unlikely to work up much of a sweat.

Does anyone really believe that Michael Hood, lately of the Springfield Township Massacre, has a chance to beat sitting Commissioner Pete Gerken for the nod of the Lucas County Democratic Party?

Probably not even Hood himself.

Ah, but don’t get too complacent, lads and lassies. Look behind the obvious, and the Ides of March carry a very great risk for some in City Politics beyond the results. For some, it is a referendum on their very future. To the following we say, Beware the Ides of March!

Mike Bell. Mikey P. has had quite a run of failure in the past two years.

First he lost as an incumbent to upstart D. Mike Collins in the twenty thirteen election for mayor of Toledo. Then he lost the special election to replace Mayor Collins in twenty fifteen. There’s a saying in baseball and City Politics.

Three strikes and you’re out.

That means Bell’s last hurrah could be his run at Gerken for a seat on the county commission. The final results won’t be tabulated until the head-to-head in November, and Bell is unopposed for the Republican nomination to run against Gerken.

Nevertheless, the Primary could be an ominous portend for ol’ Bellbottoms. See, he was a lifelong D who became a nominal Independent to run for mayor. Now he’s made the final leap, becoming a registered Republican to run against Gerken. Will this Democrat, a liberal on social matters who pushed benefits for same-sex couples while mayor, have a home in the Lucas County Republican Party?

The Primary could be telling. He’s unopposed, thus will win, of course. But how many Republican primary voters, the die-hard party faithful, will vote for the obviously self-serving Democrat?

Watch for the fall-off in total votes from those who cast a vote for President on

www.toledocitypaper.com

the Republican ballot, and those who vote for Bell. A significant difference could mean that Republican voters are sour on the former mayor, and spell real trouble for Mikey P in the GOP. Mayor Paula Hicks Hudson.

PHH isn’t on the ballot. But her first major controversial initiative is. Issue 2 asks Toledo voters to raise city income taxes to fix residential streets and to balance the general fund budget.

The mayor is running a low-key, low-capital campaign, talking to voters directly at the grassroots. It’s the sort of campaign she ran to win the mayor’s seat last year, relying heavily on door-to-door and direct phone calls. Will it work for Issue 2?

We’ll know on the Ides of March.

And she should be very worried.

Because it is not only a referendum on her leadership and trustworthiness. It is also a referendum on the effectiveness of her campaign style in the long run.

American Food with a Flair

If Issue 2 passes, it will be a major success for PHH and show her strength among voters. In that event, the mayor should be sitting pretty to retain her seat next year. If Issue 2 fails, her weakness will be exposed. Watch for the long knives to come out shortly thereafter.

The Lucas County Democratic Party.

This is a big year for the Dems. They proved to be a juggernaut in twenty fifteen, driving the steamroller that carried PHH to mayoral victory. Can the LC Dems sustain that momentum?

The local Republicans have many more candidates for Central Committee on the ballot, representing a much larger portion of Lucas County. Historically, the Dems have had a much greater grassroots organization than the GOP. Not so anymore. Did the local Dems put all their eggs into the mayoral basket, and lose sight of organizing precinct by precinct?

The vote totals will tell the tale.

There are more races in more precincts for the GOP. But does that translate into more people pulling a Republican ballot? Ultimately, the totals will tell the relative strength of each party at the polls, a significant organizing tool for the November General Election.

Treasures at the Maumee Antique Mall can brighten up your space.

Now that spring cleaning is underway, head over to the Maumee Antique Mall to find some new colorful things. With over 300 booths spread over two acres of indoor space, visiting is a great way to spend a few hours marveling at the gently used vintage wares and the delightfully kitschy jewelry, artwork, furniture, clothing, toys and more.

It’s easy being green

A vegetarian diet often connotes a salad for dinner, obnoxious animal rights activists, cold and flavorless tofu— or worse— weird meat substitutes that appear alien. Local restaurants are here to let you know that it doesn’t need to be that way.

Whether you are a hard core vegan, or like to limit the meat in your diet, Toledo has plenty of choices for healthy, flavorful and delicious vegetarian and vegan dinners. Experience what happens when a chef puts creativity to the test to develop a meatless, but flavorful, meal. Try out these dishes and vote for your favorite during our food challenge.

Monterey Sandwich

Georgette’s

311 Conant St., Maumee • 419-891-8888 • georgettes.org Sandwiches aren’t just for meat eaters— and we aren’t talking about PB&J or grilled cheese. Georgette’s Monterey Sandwich is served up with tangy sun-dried tomato dressing on layers of mouth-watering goodness: thick slices of Monterey cheese, crisp red onions, fresh tomatoes and a generous helping of crunchy, green spinach. Georgette’s also offers a variety of breads (our favorite is cranberry walnut) then the creation is grilled to perfection.

Stir Fried Shanghai Bok Choy Hong Kong Buffet

3015 Glendale Ave. #300 • 419-389-1888 • toledohongkongbuffet.com Hong Kong Buffet boasts a variety of vegetarian options, but one of our favorites is the Stir Fried Shanghai Bok Choy. This authentic dish is made simply with bok choy, ginger and garlic cooked quickly in a wok. The sauce is then added and cooked with the Chinese cabbage until the veggies are tender, crisp and coated with sauce. continued on page 12

Dégagé Jazz Cafe

301 River Rd., Maumee • 419-794-8205 • historiccommercialbuilding.com Nothing about French-inspired fare screams “vegetarian”— but, with Dégagé Jazz Cafe’s Chef Jacobsen’s creativity in the kitchen, this unique meatless entreé comes as no surprise. Taste the outcome when red pepper and pecans are ground to create a “meat” with The Berlekamp Experience. Served with whiskey pearl onions, sweet potato “cheese” and a scallion drizzle, this hearty meal might make you forget about meat.

The Berlekamp Experience Tangy Black Bean Burger Oliver House

27 Broadway St. • 419-243-1302 • mbaybrew.com Veggie burgers can sometimes be bland, but the Tangy Black Bean Burger at the Oliver House is a step above the rest. This mighty, but not-meaty, black bean burger is topped with smashed avocado, provolone cheese, salsa fresca and served up grilled on a toasted ciabatta bun. We suggest enjoying it with a beer and fries for a truly American experience.

by Marisa Rubin

A wise man once said, “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.”

Exotic animal trainer, Lara Joseph, smiles as she holds the Facebook-famous mini-pig, Milo.

One of the flock

I am the youngest of three. Nearly 15 years ago, my parents decided to add an African Grey parrot to the family. Having chosen the breeder route, we spent weeks peering through the pane of a glass incubator at the breeder’s residence, waiting for the egg to hatch. It was truly an amazing moment witnessing the “miracle of life” during a rarely seen, up-close-and-personal egg hatching.

Once out of her protective shell, the little bundle of joy, Koko, greeted the world with her quills and dinosaur-like appearance. She was ready and prepared to be the newest member of our family, but now that we “adopted” this new hatchling, were we fully ready?

Whether it’s potty training a child, or teaching a dog to sit, training is tricky. How do you train exotic animals like lions, tigers and bears? Where do you take them when they get sick? Hopefully, before you step into the world of exotic fauna you are well-versed on the protocols, how-tos and whatnots.

Training is not an easy task— but, for local animal-guru Lara Joseph, training is a way of life.

Enter, The Whisperer

Forget Dr. Doolittle, or dog-behavior extraordinaire, Cesar Millan— when it comes to animal behavior, Lara Joseph is the woman to call.

Nearly 10 years ago, Joseph began training animals professionally. In February of 2013, she opened the Animal Behavior Center in a renovated greenhouse on Alexis, formerly The Oasis plant center. “I remember walking in here a long time ago and thinking, ‘Wow, this would be a beautiful place to [let birds] fly,’” Joseph said reminiscing.

Joseph trains a turkey vulture to land on command.

The center includes a parrot area, a section to construct intricate toys for all types of animals, a room that is electronicallyready for broadcasting, and Joseph’s house— only 20-feet away. The best part of the center? A lush, grassy area with all sorts of animal enrichment props, like a patriotically-decorated hoop, a teeter-totter and various landing perches.

A luxury of the modern world, Joseph’s Animal Behavior Center does a majority of business online, so it is able to thrive in any city, like Toledo (where her husband was born, raised and currently works), or even from the middle of the Caribbean.

Interested in marine biology during her early college years, Joseph branched out into the world of animal behavior. Having received a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Toledo in documentary filmmaking, and then taking several classes for a Master’s certification in Applied Behavior Analysis, a branch of psychology, Joseph teaches how to understand behavior, especially through animals.

The first personal touch to her training career began with Rocky, a Moluccan Cockatoo that exhibited unmanageable behavior, “He (Rocky) was going to be put down, and that pushed me to go back and pursue master’s classes in Applied Behavior Analysis. I needed to tell his story and let people know these behaviors can be changed,” Joseph noted.

anything other than sheer entertainment, but there are serious factors that go into humanely and responsibly taking care of a captive animal. “You need to train the alligator [or any animal] to stay where you want it to stay, come when you call it… even how to get into a crate to prepare for veterinary exams. We need the primates to voluntarily offer their arm for [a medical] blood draw, so it isn’t a stressful and harmful, yet necessary, experience,” Joseph explained. This type of training helps keep both the animals and the humans safe. “I train a lot of wild animals, there’s a lot of danger there,” Joseph said excitably, but with a serious undertone.

When training, “In the beginning, I have to pair myself with an animal’s food because I have no value. Through consistency [delivering of food], the animal starts to learn that I’m the ‘Deliverer of Awesomeness,’ and that good things happen when I enter the room,” she stated, adding that, “In the end, it (training) is always for the animal and the relationship between the animal and the human— whether in a zoo, someone’s home or a shelter, because that human is going to set that dog [or animal] up for success or failure.”

All minds think alike

Milo, the mini-pig, shows off his stage presence by jumping through a patriotically decorated hoop.

A timeless approach

Applied Behavior Analysis became popular in the 70s and 80s and is now used primarily for children with an autism spectrum disorder. The theory implies that behavior can be modified by evaluating the relationship between an individuals behavior and their environment. Then, by using positive reinforcement, replacement behaviors swap out the undesired.

Captive animals should still have the privilege of choice— without the addition of fear or stress. While explaining, Joseph referred to circus days-past, “Force used to be a common practice. You have these animals in captivity and take away all their choices. If they are forced, serious repetitive abnormal behaviors [self-mutilation, erratic tendencies] can arise.” Animals are cognitive beings, able to make decisions based on what they desire, with positive reinforcement like treats, praise and special opportunities.

While sitting in the education room, Joseph relates her use of pro-animal-choice training in reference to Milo, a mini-pig, “He knows that I am never going to push him past his comfort level. If I have to, once in awhile I’ll manipulate his environment by taking away his favorite toys. I’ll put them in my pocket and slowly give them back to him when he does something good throughout the day,” Joseph said, as Milo scurried around the room, sniffing everything and oinking.

This type of training can be paralleled to when a parent takes away an unruly child’s favorite video game, and returns it once the child’s behavior improves. Joseph explained: “I won’t train with commands and corrections, shocks or prongs, because a command means, ‘Do it or else.’ A command means coercion,”— the complete opposite of choice. Like any good parent or guardian, when defiant behavior arises, Joseph takes mental note of what particular behavior needs attention.

A worldwide language

Joseph is currently training alligators and the zoo staff at Indian Creek Zoo, out of Lambertville, Michigan. She put together a training team in anticipation for the upcoming summer alligator exhibit. Zoogoers rarely think about the need to train animals for

From paws to feathers

In October, the center hosts an annual event for anyone (and everyone) involved in the animal world. People from coast-to-coast attend, from veterinarians and vet techs to shelters, conservation agencies and other trainers. The best of the best and those wanting to learn more, share techniques, watch demonstrations and learn about the latest scientific research. This year’s event will be held for three days, as opposed to the usual two.

For attendees who are looking for a new approach to a particular behavior, or want a more intricate understanding of the Applied Behavior Analysis, Joseph urges “mammal-day” attendees to partake on bird day, “Most people don’t know how smart birds are, they are super complex. I can’t even compare them to a human because they think differently and process information differently. Trainers who want to take complexity to a new level should attend bird day.”

“Training is a form of communication, both verbal and nonverbal.”

Offering different membership levels, the center allows the opportunity for animal trainers, shelters or animal companions worldwide, or to learn from Joseph and her applications of the globally-understood Behavior Analysis. This all-species-encompassing strategy is live-streamed from the educationally-landscaped greenhouse on Alexis Road.

The Animal Enrichment Show, a weekly live broadcast from the center, shows how to enrich, what enrichment is and why it needs to happen with animals. Each of these broadcasts, along with online classes and training sessions, allow the world to see how to properly train for a certain behavior.

Before I arrived, Joseph had just finished a livestream broadcast scale-training session with Willy, the vulture. “I pick a monthly topic, such as scale training [how to teach an animal to sit on a scale]. I start off each month with a podcast explaining the topic, covering the techniques in detail,” said Joseph, adding that, “...and this afternoon we will be scale training a deaf English bulldog, using the same techniques. Once I’m done training, I’ll release the animal and then explain why and what I did.”

Food or friend?

Animals use behavior to train and manipulate their caretakers to get what they desire, from attention to treats. This psychology “is the number one reason for shelters. People unknowingly reinforce undesirable behavior… We are primarily teaching the people [caretakers/owners],” said Joseph.

As Milo (the mini-pig) paces around the concrete floor, trying for Joseph’s attention in hopes of a possible treat ration, she ironically explains, “If an animal can see, hear or smell you— you’re training it whether you realize it or not. Training is a form of communication, both verbal and nonverbal.” As she takes note of Milo’s current manipulative bouts, trying to coerce her into delivering a yummy present.

The beauty of the analysis of behavior is that it can be related to any species, “With a pig, with a parrot, with a dog… the same technique [the Applied Behavior Analysis] can be used for all animals, for the same type of behavior modification.”

Using this method allows Joseph the skills to train any animal found in the Jungle Book.

A personal approach

While walking around the indoor lawn, Joseph stresses that the center is not a shelter and she is selective with what animals she takes in, “I will take in an animal that is really unique to educate the public,” she said.

“I train a lot of animals with disabilities, like deaf dogs,” which Joseph explained is surprisingly common with particular breeds. Since many breeders and trainers don’t know where to begin with deaf-training, many of these “unable to be trained” dogs end up in shelters, most likely to be euthanized.

As the deaf English bulldog looks up at her with kind, blue eyes, Joseph points out, “Dog shelters are overflowing, but parrot shelters are overflowing ten-fold.

There are 50 year old birds in shelters that aren’t even close to death.”

In recognition, Joseph organized and founded the Parrot Society of NW Ohio and the Parrot Society of New Orleans. “I consult with a lot of groups nationwide. It is all about education so they aren’t giving the parrots up [to shelters or bird sanctuaries]… I love working with birds because they are one of the most intelligent animals,” she says as parrots whistle in the other room.

Bringing the emotion full-circle from the scientific-based theory application of Joseph’s training, is Rocky, the very vocal, 18-year old Moluccan Cockatoo. Joseph tenderly reflects, “Rocky came to us eight years ago because he was going to be put down [for behavioral problems]. And now, he is pretty much the mascot behind the center. He is the reason the center exists. He is the one that put me onto lecturing, because everyone wanted to know how I changed his behavior. He was the reason I opened the center. Everybody has a story of their beginning, he’s mine.”

CITY PAGES

The feminist bookstore moved from Cricket West to their Sylvania location in 2010— the new space is a bit larger and more handicap accessible.

A Place for People Called Women More than just a bookstore

by Athena Cocoves

From Simone de Beauvoir to Beyoncé, feminism has fought its way into pop culture. With safe spaces popping up on South Park and Hillary Clinton running for president, it seems like 2016 has become the year of women. Despite this apparent feminist occupation of the pop-consciousness, historical cornerstones of meet-ups— feminist bookstores—are disappearing.

“There are 13 feminist bookstores left in North America,” said Gina Mercurio, owner of Toledo’s own feminist bookstore, People Called Women (PCW). “When I opened in 1993, there were 132. I’ve managed to stay open because of a group of very loyal customers who value feminist space, help from volunteers and interns, travelling to set up shop at conferences and music festivals and personally valuing feminism and books more than money.”

Building community

While the Amazonian axe that has put many bookstores out of business certainly impacts speciality shops, People Called Women has enjoyed steady business for over 20 years, in part, because of the strength of their customer base, serving as a community center for feminists, lesbians and the politically engaged.

“Community events have always been a part of feminist bookstores,” said Mercurio, “This allows them to function as a community center, and we’ve carried on that tradition.”

Mercurio estimates that, of her customer base, 80-90% are regulars. PCW also offers weekly events, feminist activism, and use of the store’s on-site Steinem’s Sisters Library, which boasts a large archive of classic feminist books and DVDs. Most weeks, PCW hosts two or three events, which vary from film screenings, social nights, poetry workshops, and more. For the past 21 years, PCW has also organized Toledo’s Take Back the Night, a protest addressing violence against women, held annually in April.

March 9 • March 22

Sharing space

While PCW focuses on feminist literature, the inventory is varied. There is no one way to be a feminist, and PCW offers literature suited for diverse people interested in socio-politics.

“I subscribe to the Gloria Steinem type of feminism,” said Mercurio, of the Toledo-native. “She never neglects.

She always mentions race, class, sexual orientation, all across the board.

She believes that sexism cannot be uprooted without racism also being uprooted. They’re all connected and she’s always believed that. The [contemporary] term for this kind of thought is “intersectional”, though that term is new, it has always been the politic.”

Mercurio can point anyone in the direction of a suitable book— from a well-read Gender Studies academic, to a lesbian desiring relatable literature, to a young person first setting off on a path of discovery.

“I think it’s important to read books that talk about the differences in feminism,” said Mercurio. “But, while I think the distinctions …. are interesting, I sort of blank out. I don’t want to spend an hour arguing about distribution, I’d rather organize the Take Back the Night march.”

While Mercurio says that “every month is Women’s History month” at PCW, some special March Events include a in-store, concert featuring two singer-songwriters: Michigan-based Kate Peterson and the blues-tinged Nedra Johnson.

“Kate has played here before and she’s great. Neidra is very cool. I’m very excited,” said Mercurio.

No longer forgotten While many turn a blind eye, America has a very serious homeless epidemic. In Kelli Mistry’s book, Forgotten Souls, the Monroe, Michigan native, (and Adams Street Publishing Co. office assistant), highlights stories directly from the homeless, depicting their struggle to find shelter, stay away from drugs and express their humanity. “I’ve always had an affinity for the homeless, and I wanted to bring their stories to light,� says Mistry. In the candid nationwide interview collection, each chapter focuses on an individual perspective, communicating a clear portrayal of the those often ignored, exposing the beauty and potential of each human being. A portion of book proceeds will provide rehabilitative care for the homeless and the addicted. Forgotten Souls is available on amazon.com.

Hitting it out of the park

The Arts Commission’s annual spring fundraiser throws a curveball

by Athena Cocoves When it comes to unifying a community, the power of art hits it out of the park. Its closest match? Sports.

In celebration of this similarity, The Arts Commission will throw a figurative curveball this year by hosting its annual spring fundraiser, The Mix, at the recently renovated Mud Hens’ Hensville complex.

Third Base

Since 2006, The Arts Commission has helped support its public programs by getting the community together for a party filled with art, entertainment and fun— reminding us of the importance of art in the community. This year, the Hensville complex will lend to the party’s signature, unique atmosphere.

“The venue itself plays a big role,” said Larry Meyer, entertainment coordinator for The Mix. “With multiple rooms available, we hope for a three-ring atmosphere, with a different vibe on each floor. This year, the musical variety includes indie rock, a funk/rock/soul band, a jazz trio, Tejano, ragtime, electronica, belly dancers, and more.”

Somewhere in the ballpark

As an annual part of The Mix, there will be an art exhibition and auction. This year’s featured artists include Natalie Laneese, Eric Zeigler, Ben Shoenberger, Ryan Thompson, Yusuf Lateef, Phil Hazard, among others. The exhibition, which loosely interprets the “curveball theme,” has been curated by a local art enthusiast, who goes by Carlos, sans last name.

To honor the theme, Carlos chose to interpret “curveball” outside of its athletic definition. When making

26

selections from the exhibiting artists’ catalogues, he looked for pieces that were unexpected or that showcased the formal quality of a curve.

“I would go to the opening “The curveball of the show is of an envelope,” said a that one side of the gallery is golaughing Carlos, who is a ing to be a stark, minimal, clinifrequent attendant at local cal white cube,” explained Carart happenings. los. “The curveball is when you turn around—the other side of the gallery will be an explosion of color and movement, all anchored by a mural that Natalie Lanese is making Feathers fly in Amy Beeler’s Major Leaguer Randy specifically for this event.”

Artist Amy Beeler was immediately inspired by the For the exhibit, Carlos tapped his network and aptheme’s baseball term. Instead of using Carlos’ less litproached the artists whose work he admires, explaining, eral interpretation of “curveball,” Beeler made a neck“I instinctively chose artists [with] talent, but people that I lace based on Major League Baseball Hall-of-Famer know have a very disciplined work ethic and that are workRandy Johnson’s infamous fastball, which hit a pigeon ing towards establishing themselves.

Dorian Slaybod Toledo According to_____________!

Kyoto Ka Downtown is my secret spot.

How Dorian Slaybod fills up his glass (city) 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 taking steps in the soles and souls of Toledoans to learn how they fill up their glass city.

The artists and musicians I love are Heavy Color and Awesome Job. When I am feeling a bit too much of Saturday night on a Sunday, I can always rely on Wildwood Preserve to make my day better.

I always brag about Toledo’s creative people.

Going to Crystal's Lounge makes me feel like we are out of town.

I wish Mickey Finn’s was still open.

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

To find inspiration, I go to the Toledo Museum of Art.

Restaurant Week is my favorite annual event.

When out of towners visit us, I always take them to Black Cloister Brewing Company, and on a mural tour through the Old South End.

The first three words that come to mind about Toledo are: consistently, surprisingly, wonderful.

If money wasn’t an object, I would open a small, poorly lit bar downtown.

Age: 29 Occupation: Lawyer

Toledoan since: Origin ally 1986, and again since 2011

www.toledocitypaper.com

Sandy Spang and Joel Markovitch, the executive director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Toledo, are the Toledoans I most admire.

Too many people think limitedly about Toledo, but it’s wrong because of inaccurate branding.

My favorite neighborhood is the Warehouse District.

When I want to unwind I go to Bleak House Coffee.

My favorite night out in Toledo was the German American Festival followed

by Gay Pride Festival.

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

The last store I went to is The Andersons.

The street I drive/walk on most often is South Huron.

The hardest thing about living in Toledo is the lack of touring bands, but the best thing is Toledo's Metroparks.

I know Sidon Lebanese Grill and Bakery will satisfy my munchies.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A weekend off is

fun starting the 11th, even though you lose an hour of sleep. Start early to bake and prepare special food for St. Patrick’s Day. The party may be at your place. Stay home the 19th and 20th and try to stay there until the 22nd.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are bossy but

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) Take

off the 12th because you are unhappy about losing an hour of sleep. You celebrate St. Patrick’s Day but try to keep it under control because the spring equinox may mean you have to work the 19th and 20th.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) There is a fun party on the 12th and you

quiet the 12th and 13th. You are Irish the entire week of the 14th. Then work on an excuse to take off for a long weekend starting the 18th.

Sorry, Gemini, but you have to return to reality the 21st.

really hate missing that hour of sleep. Speaking of sleep, you will not get enough as you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. On the 19th a streak to good luck begins – so take chances!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Starting the

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19)

12th you begin to concentrate on travel plans.

Then reverse your thinking to local events, like St. Patrick’s Day parties. The Spring Equinox on the 19th makes you more career conscious. You have a new thought daily!

Entertain at home the 12th. Starting the 14th bake some shamrock cookies, decorate your house, and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in a big way. All of your attention is directed to your home and family now.

LEO (July 23-August 22) Your intuition keeps getting stronger, so trust it! You are such a party animal that you wear green on both the 16th and 17th. If possible leave for vacation late on the 19th and make it a long one. Relax on a sunny beach.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) You

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) You get

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Thanks to Venus your love life improves after the 12th. You enjoy celebrating as if you are Irish but need to be careful wherever you are (like driving). Don’t make too many plans for the week of the 21st when you run out of steam.

up late on the 13th forgetting about the time change – usually you remember everything! St. Patrick’s Day week is fun because you pretend you are Irish. The week of the 21st you are the boss at work, at home, and at play.

are in good shape financially. Your love life is satisfactory but not spectacular the 12th and 13th. Of course you are Irish and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Try to improve communication skills the 19h and 20th.

Sue Lovett is available for personal astrology readings and private parties.

CELEBRITY PISCES Pisces is an agreeable sign – they are diplomatic, charitable and kind. They enjoy music whether performing or listening. Examples are Josh Groban and Carrie Underwood. Locally Councilman Rob Ludeman, Bill Stewart of 93.5 and Harvey J. Steele, left, of K-100 celebrate.

STYLE SENSE

After local, they compete regionally and nationally! So there is so much talent represented at this show. Not only do we have great local campaigns, but we have some major design firms here in Toledo that do work for national companies, too!

by Angela Conley

Style Sense: Fallon Edwards

earless and free-spirited Age: 32 Occupation: Supervisor at The Fresh Market Fallon Edwards has a laissez-faire outlook when it comes to her style: she enters her closet, throws on anything, and walks out fearlessly. Her spunky style is a reflection of her outsideof-the-box personality, punctuated with bright patterns and natural jewelry.

My style is: Colorful, free-spirited, loving… I don’t like to fit in. There’s nothing wrong with people who fit in, but I want to be an alien. When I was a kid, I was never allowed to wear what I wanted. Everything had to match and that didn’t feel right to me. So I said, “When I get older, I’ll do what I want to do.”

My sense of style began: It probably started intensely about two years ago when I started my spiritual journey. I opened up more; I got out of the box that I was living in. I realized that there was no box, so then I was able to express myself however I wanted to.

Chloe Clark and Jared Jakes

Michael Seay and Jim Rohman

I draw inspiration from: The more colors and the more patterns, the better.

The celebrities/icons that have influenced my style: Willow Smith. It’s funny because she’s so much younger than me, but she is a great inspiration. I love her.

It is their annual party with a purpose and an opportunity to rock your favorite jeans, dance, dine and enjoy a few beverages.

Richard Jackson & Morgan Bryant

Brandi Carson and Jacqueline Rivers

The three must-haves in my wardrobe: Bracelets, earrings, and my dashikis.

Local stores I like to shop at are: 632 Main is one of my favorites. Loonar Station— they have clothing and I’ve gotten a few purses from there. I also like vintage [items], so I go to the Salvation Army and Goodwill.
