NEW City Talks podcast Local leaders/ business owners/ service providers share their quarantine advice

Where to fill up your growler in the Glass City

Talks

As Ohio’s shelter-in-place order winds down and Toledoans can gradually return to some semblance of pre-COVID normalcy, our City Talks podcast series continues to distill the uncomfortable feeling pervading quarantine through down-to-earth conversations with local dignitaries and business owners adjusting to life during the great slowdown.

Here are a few highlights since we began: After constructing unprecedented economic stimulus bills to help Americans of all political persuasions, we asked Senior Senator Sherrod Brown (D. Ohio) a softball question about the odds of him appearing in the VP slot this November. He unequivocally batted it down as complete nonsense. (But at least we asked!)

Account Executives:

Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz muses about the irony of how physically distancing ourselves might bring us some measure of ever-elusive comity.

Toledo Municipal Court Judge Nicole Khoury, also the founding organizer of Acoustics for Autism, copped to enjoying “Tiger King,” which though it shouldn’t feel like a big deal because the show is undeniably compelling, struck us as the kind of guilty pleasure a judge could make us appreciate.

Where To Buy Face Masks Locally In Toledo Area

If you’re looking for face masks as Ohio begins to reopen, consider these local sellers, many of whom have been working tirelessly to donate face masks to healthcare workers

By Erin Marsh

Experience the magic of area drive-in theaters

Make our frontline workers your Plus One

If you’re looking for ways to support both local restaurants and first-responders during the COVID-19 crisis, the Toledo Plus One Initiative checks both boxes. A donation to the Initiative provides delivery of healthy, delicious cuisine to the folks on the frontlines keeping us safe. For only $100, you can contribute toward a meal for a team of health care workers or first responders.

Participating restaurants include Mancy’s Steakhouse, Mancy’s Italian, Mancy’s Bluewater Grille, Shorty’s, Stubborn Brother Pizza, Souk Mediterranean, The Beirut, Poco Piatti, Ciao!, The Real Seafood Co., and more, with delivery to be provided by Yark Automotive.

As of May 6th, the Toledo Plus One fund has raised more than $65,000 from 150+ unique donors! From healthcare workers to police officers and firefighters, these essential workers deserve to be your Plus One. Make your donation at toledoplusone.com. —EH

Denizens of the movie theater experience have been denied the experience over the past few months since Ohio’s theaters were closed in the wake of the Governor’s stay-at-home order.

Now, devotees of the silver screen have a chance to experience the magic at one of the state’s two dozen drive-in movie theaters.

The new Stay Safe-order issued by the State of Ohio exempted drive-ins from the list of entertainment venues that will remain closed for the time being. As a result, the Field of Dreams drive-in cinema in Tiffin opened for the season on May 5, with its sister location in Liberty Center opening on May 8. The Sundance Kid drive-in in Oregon opened on May 12.

Each theater is enacting a set of social distancing guidelines designed to protect patrons and employees, such as requiring face coverings for any customers leaving their vehicles.

CHOICE Choice AWARDS

Best Assisted Living

The City of Toledo is hoping to provide a helping hand to some of the area’s smallest businesses with the announcement of the Emergency Microenterprise Recovery Grant Program.

Announced on May 7, the program will award $5,000 in operating expenses to 200 small businesses in the Toledo area in an effort to facilitate their survival during the COVID-19 quarantine. Qualifying businesses will be required to have five or fewer employees.

In a press release, the City stated that the grants are being funded with Federal Community Development Block Grant money as a one-time payment. Businesses who have not been given relief assistance from the Small Business Administration will be given priority.

Given the chance that there will be a large number of applicants for the grant, the City noted that it may conduct a lottery to determine who will receive funds.

Applications will be accepted from May 11 until May 24 at midnight.

For more information or to apply, visit the City of Toledo website, toledo.oh.gov.

CITY POLITICS Live and let die

The new normal in City Politics

by Johnny Hildo Exactly what in tarnation just happened?

We sure went through some crazy bull honky, didn’t we peeps? Recommendations and mandates coming atcha so fast ‘n furious it was impossible to keep up. Groups of fifty, then ten, then only immediate household members. Social distancing, six feet away, without masks, then with. Oh wait, shelter in place. Which sounds like something straight outta the zombie apocalypse.

A virus that had never been known to science before, always a coupla steps ahead of that science. Does it only affect the old and infirm? Is it no worse than the flu? Or more contagious, and more deadly? It’s a respiratory disease.

Oh, wow, it sometimes causes weird blood clots. And sometimes deadly inflammation in young folks.

We gotta bend the curve. But how far, and for how long? As knowledge and understanding grows, yielding sometimes conflicting results, the pandemic is ripe for the ubiquitous internet misinformation and conspiracy troll campaigns.

Is it any wonder we are all left a little winded and woozy by it all?

So here we are. The quarantine is slowly being lifted, bit by bit. Which leads to the ultimate question in City Politics. Just what the hell is going on?

Let’s break that down a bit further into two simpler questions. Where are we, as in, what are the rules for this “new normal” we’re supposedly entering? And who, if anybody, is gonna enforce those rules?

From a distance

By the time you read this, much of Ohio’s economy will be well on the way to reopening. Offices and manufacturing are back. Ditto construction. Restaurants can now serve on open patios, with in-house dining by May twentyone. The same date that bars can open.

Schools remain closed, but day-cares can reopen by the end of the month.

All this reopening comes with a whole lotta caveats, though. We are reminded that the virus is still among us, and we need to act accordingly. The state has issued a complex set of guidelines for each economic sector to keep said virus at bay. Groups in public spaces are still supposed to be limited in size. And still separated by six feet, or by physical barriers. Many employees are mandated to wear face coverings.

If these guidelines aren’t followed, the health experts tell us, we could be right back into the deep doo-doo.

Meaning the formerly bended curve could straighten back out, and head straight back up.

Who is in charge of keeping us on the bent straight and narrow? Will the State of Ohio police every public and private space to make sure the guidelines are followed? Impossible. Will the county health department rise to the challenge? Fat chance. What about local governments? Nah,we’ve heard nary a peep from ‘em about this new normal.

Will local establishments risk life, limb, and consumer anger by enforcing the guidelines? Yeah, no.

For the health of it

Which leaves it up to each of us. The basic guidelines are simple. Don’t congregate in large groups. Maintain six feet of space as much as possible.

If you are sick, stay home. Whether you’re sick or not, wear a face covering to prevent spreading the virus to others. Wash your hands often. These are all matters of life and death. Not necessarily for you, but for those with whom you come in contact. And, frankly, maybe for you, too.

The extent to which we all take this seriously will determine whether we actually beat this damn thing. If you think we’re going back to the way it was before, think again. And if ya don’t, guess where we’ll end up?

That’s right. Deep doo-doo.

Salute To

Essential

Worke rs

Honoring our hometown heroes

M

ost of Toledo, like much of the world, has spent the last few months staying at home. But many locals became the front lines, ensuring that Toledo remained safe and healthy. In grocery store and hospitals, essential workers took on the burden of keeping society going— risking their health day in and day out— and we are forever indebted to them.

We asked essential workers from all walks of life— healthcare workers, food and grocery workers, social workers, transit workers, home health aides, and others— about the reality of working during the pandemic.

Here’s a handful of comments from those essential workers.

Diana & Al Korsog, Mother and daughter: Different hospitals, same caring heart Life lesson from the coronavirus pandemic: Al: Laugh, because you will cry if you don’t.

Smile because we are are still fighting. Be safe. Please be safe.

Diana: We all need each other. We jump in where needed and just keep going!

What do you want to tell the general public about your job?

Al: This is the hardest, and by far the most

terrifying, thing I have ever encountered. We are tired. We are exhausted and it’s nice to be called heroes, but above all, we just want ourselves, our families and your families to be safe and to know they’re loved. Your loved ones here (at the hospitals) are having their hands held and are being comforted. I assure you we do not let them think they are alone in this. I hope that brings you comfort.

Biggest concerns regarding the crisis: Al: We need PPE! WE NEED PPE! I literally yelled that part.

Diana: How much we don’t know.

What’s the most challenging aspect of your job these days?

Al: To be honest? The heaviness that comes with

families not being able to see their loved ones. We become these patients’families and that’s heavy, it’s scary but I’m gonna be whatever they need.

Mother Diana Korsog (Top), is ER Tent Triage, and daughter Al Korsog is an Inpatient nurse for a COVID-19 unit in Toledo.

Diana: Everyone misses “normal” and though we will probably never have the same normal back. I think we’d all settle for safe normal.

Darla Husen To everyone out there working to help us all out.

I want to thank every single person that is working to keep myself, our family, friends and people who we don’t even know. People think just the medical folks are heroes (they are), but everyone who cleans the buildings, truck drivers, mail people as well. They’re way too many people who need a BIG THANK YOU!!! This is my nephew who is in the USMC. Serving our Country.

COO of Zepf Center Hope Begins Here

As an essential business, Shrader Tire & Oil is on the road supporting fleets of vehicles that are delivering much-needed goods during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hard work and sometimes hazardous conditions are just part of what our team members experience in providing extreme customer service throughout Toledo and the tri-state region.

Life lesson from the coronavirus pandemic:

I hope the experience of the pandemic isn’t forgotten when we think of “essential” workers— the nurses, and health care professionals; the truck drivers and support personnel and countless other unseen heroes who under different circumstances may go unnoticed.

In my role as COO of Zepf Center, I’ve had the honor to work alongside nurses, counselors, doctors and support staff who are providing frontline services for those most in need during the COVID pandemic.

Life lesson from the coronavirus pandemic:

My heart has been encouraged as I’ve seen the bravery and compassion of our staff as they seek creative solutions during this challenging time, and are working exceptionally hard to make sure that our community is cared for when they need it the most. Addiction and mental health services must continue, however, because we are not in a hospital setting, we’ve had operational challenges that are unique to many nonprofits during this time. Despite any barrier, our staff have risen above and worked together as a family to help others. It’s been extremely special to witness and an experience I will never forget.

Dottie Segur Executive Director of Sylvania Area Family Services (SAFS)

The staff at Anne Grady Services provide care to individuals with intellectual disabilities, working tirelessly throughout the pandemic to ensure that those individuals are safe and healthy. Thank you to the employees at Anne Grady Services for all that you are doing!

Anne Grady Services staffers Share your story We’d love to hear the stories of other essential workers— opinions, advice, rants, or anything else you want our readers to know.

Email submissions@ adamsstreetpublishing.com or leave a message at 567-316-0055.

As COVID-19 continues to spread, the future has never felt so unpredictable. Many people are finding it challenging to feed their families. I am grateful to be a part of Sylvania Area Family Services (SAFS) for over 17 years.

SAFS feeds over 8000 people annually. During this crisis, the need is growing daily. As one of our many services, we help students, families and seniors combat food insecurities.

Life lesson from the coronavirus pandemic:

Though I do not know what the coming hours, days and weeks may hold, I do know that the support of our community is what gives us the power to keep going in the face of a growing pandemic. The lesson I learned is to never underestimate a community; it takes a village to support each other during times of need.

NOMINATED BY: April Guzman, mother.

Every day that Te’Andra has been scheduled to work at Kroger before and during this pandemic she was there. When called to work additional days or hours she was there. Not once did she hesitate. She is definitely devoted to her job and determined to help others, especially during this unprecedented time.

Life lesson from the coronavirus pandemic:

Watching Te’Andra go to work day in and day out, not once complaining or second-guessing it, showed me that she is a hero. She has definitely opened my eyes to see the importance of grocery workers.

Owners of Hot Head Burrito Sylvania.

It’s a responsibility to care for people— and sometimes emotions can be overwhelming.

NOMINATED BY Susan Vild: I nominate my friends Amy and Ron Duschl, owners of Hot Head Burrito Sylvania, because of their generous business donations. They have donated and delivered more than 1500 burrito bowl/meals to frontline workers, supported by donations from the community. They have received help from friends from their church with deliveries. Their generosity deserves recognition! Amy has also been a nurse for more than 30 years.

Life lesson from the coronavirus pandemic:

Connie Croak

NOMINATED BY Hannab Duschl: Hot Head Burritos-Sylvania owners,

Ron and Amy Duschl, are sending food to essential workers, nurses, doctors, firefighters and others to thank them for their hard work in these times. Amy does this in her spare time from working as a nurse in our community. Now we want to thank YOU!

RRT Taking care of Covid positive patients at Toledo Hospital NOMINATED BY: Shannon Meyer, sister-in-law

What “life lesson” did you learn from Ron and Amy during the coronavirus pandemic?

These two people have shown more love, gratitude, and selflessness than I thought possible while they, themselves, are struggling to keep the business afloat. Since March, they have been sending food to multiple Toledo Fire Stations, Toledo Hospitals, doctor’s offices and more to thank essential workers, while working to keep their local, small business alive. Beyond that, Amy Duschl works as a nurse at St. Anne’s and St. Charles Hospitals and has been helping her husband, Ron Duschl, with these donations in her free time. If everyone had a little of their characteristics, these times would go by much more easily.

Treasure hugs when you get them and seeing your family— it’s tough not being with them now while working to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Biggest concerns regarding the crisis:

My parents’ health, things coming back worse in the winter.

Advice from area professionals

ealth care workers have long been heroes, and their dedication to our community’s safety and happiness has continued to prove itself in the past few months. Over the last weeks, we’ve asked these Toledo doctors about their plans for the future, how they are responding to the pandemic in their own lives, and what they want for their patients. Their advice confirms another fact about health care works— the doctor truly knows best.

Making Sense of These Tense Times.

Did you know that having pain is not normal? In general, you are not supposed to be in pain, despite what your age might be. Having headaches, or neck pain, or shoulder pain, or plantar fasciitis is not acceptable. Like most people, you have probably already asked friends and family and scoured the internet for answers, but nothing has worked. You have even had a lot of time recently to rest and recover, but if it still bothers you, nothing good will happen if you continue down this path. You could end up in more pain and a decreased ability to do the things you love to do, but it does not have to end up that way.

Dr. Royer is excited to figure out your puzzles and problems and he

can help you get back to your life without pain by doing a comprehensive multi-step evaluation to find the right starting point for you.

To protect our patients and employees (especially those most at-risk), we have postponed all routine and non-urgent services. We are working from home as much as possible and are able to provide urgent hearing device repair service as well as remote support.

How are you managing stress and emotions during this time? Our family has had its ups and downs emotionally just like everyone during this time.

One thing that our family has always looked to for strength and encouragement, especially in times that are difficult is our faith. Our faith has given us a solid, unwavering foundation that can weather the storm.

How can people stay healthy while stuck at home? Staying healthy being stuck at home or not can be especially tough. My biggest recommendation is to be creative and to have fun as a family with whatever you do! One thing I love to do is to exercise together. We have found really fun family workout videos and found ourselves getting stronger and laughing along the way.

Not only is exercise and movement important to your health, but the quality nutrition you get from food is to. Make sure fresh food is at a maximum and processed food is to a minimum. Make memories cooking together!

What is one thing that you want your patients to know right now?

The health of one’s spine is incredibly important because of its intimate relationship to the health of the nervous system. The nervous system controls and regulates all function in the body, so the healthier the spine, the healthier the nervous system, the healthier you!

Adjustments help to maximize this relationship, but things can be done while at home like moving often and maintaining good posture, especially if you cannot make it in for regular chiropractic care.

CONT’D ON P14

How are you managing stress and emotions during this time? That can be a challenge at times; however, I like to stay busy with productive tasks and activities while continuing to connect with people through technology. Some of those "someday when I have some time" type of projects are nice to work on.

How are you staying hopeful? My hope comes from faith in God and knowing that we are a resilient people with toughness and ingenuity. I trust that we will pull together with compassion and problem solving to overcome these difficult times.

How can people stay healthy while stuck at home? Balancing diet, exercise, and productivity. Make a schedule and continue to get things done. Mental health is just as important (if not more) than physical health right now, so staying active with positive activities is crucial.

How are you staying entertained?

What books, TV shows, podcasts, or movies are you enjoying? When we have some time at the end of a day, anything in the science fiction category for shows and movies for both streaming and DVD/bluray (might be a good time to watch some of those trilogies).

Since we have our three little children at home, most books we are reading are children's books.

How has your practice responded to the crisis? As we followed this outbreak over the last few months, we recognized the dangers to the community early on and effectively closed our offices over a week prior to the “Stay at Home” order.

Thankfully, our practice was formed on a high-tech backbone and that enabled us to quickly launch our telehealth platform and continue to serve our patients. We currently offer virtual appointments and, if follow-up is needed, we either schedule an in-person appointment (if an emergency) or wait until this crisis subsides to proceed with treatment. Our limited number of in-person appointments are available for emergencies only and each are performed with extensive safety procedures to protect our patients and staff.

How is your practice giving back to the community during the crisis?

We, like the rest of our community are taking part by practicing SOCIAL DISTANCING. We closed our offices early as we started to see the alarming potential for overwhelming our healthcare system. The exclusion of non-emergent surgeries and appointments minimizes use

of personal protective equipment that is now low in supply and so desperately needed to protect our healthcare workers fighting to save lives. We have also donated supplies such as N95 masks, surgical masks, gloves, and viral culture specimen tubes that are needed to keep our colleagues safe as they battle this virus.

In pursuit of flattening the curve, what are some of the most significant changes in your daily life?

Life is quite different these days. Our staff has settled in to working remotely and we have barely left the house. We get to spend more time with our family, and for that, we are thankful. We are not getting stir crazy yet!

Slow the spread and preserve masks, gloves, disinfectant, hand sanitizer, and soap that is used frequently in the regular practice of dentistry. We are using a virtual consult when possible to evaluate questions, give accurate answers, and care with the goal of reducing the need for patients to go out of their house.

Our day now involves a few team members spending reduced hours at the office to take care of anyone experiencing pain, infection, trauma, or dysfunction. Normal disinfection procedures & PPE have been amplified and all handles are wiped down after anyone enters/leaves the area. The few team members present also regularly take temperatures and stay as far apart as possible.

Mary Ann Wojton & Mike Watson

W

edding planning can be stressful during the best of times, so it really takes a couple who know how to roll with the punches to stay sane in the midst of a pandemic. Though Mary Ann Wojton and Mike Watson expected their mid-March wedding day to be a low-key affair to begin with, the rapid spread of COVID-19 made it increasingly clear that they’d have to make some changes.

It meant cutting the guest list from 130 people at Maumee Bay Lodge to a handful of close family and friends at their home.

Love COVID-19

In early March, the couple reached out to their guests, stressing that the most important thing was everyone’s safety and health, but that the wedding was still on, as, at the time, Gov. Dewine’s mandate that no more than 100 people gather in one place did not apply to weddings.

in the time of

Mary and Mike expected their midMarch wedding to be a lowkey affair—the ceremony was done on Zoom in 15 minutes.

But then Watson saw firsthand precautions people were, then, beginning to take out of concern for the virus. “Where Mike works, at Schindler Elevators, they were starting these protocols for COVID-19 and everybody was wearing a face shield,” recalled Wojton.

A look at socially distanced weddings

By Erin Holden

The couple determined that it was best to have the ceremony at their home. “The ceremony was done on Zoom and it took all of 15 minutes,” said Wojton. “The minister did an abbreviated reflection, we recited the vows and we were done.”

What’s new in wedding planning this spring is significantly different because, well, what’s new is COVID-19.

We asked one couple, who tied the knot in mid-March, how they handled it. We also have engagement stories and how the planning process has changed.

Also, one significant components— choosing a dress— can involve multiple fittings and alterations.

We look at accomodations that have been made due to the virus.

If you’re in the middle of wedding planning in a COVID-19 world, hopefully, these stories of positivity and rolling with the punches will motivate you to focus on what matters most— celebrating new beginnings with the love of your life.

As always, if you have wedding stories to share, contact Erin Holden at eholden@adamsstreetpublishing.com.

In the end, Watson and Wojton (MAW², as they call themselves because they have the same initials), hosted seven guests in person, along with more Zoom attendees, with a cake and appetizers from a local store and a fruit dessert from a friend.

“The wedding ceremony is only a small part of the marriage,” Wojton said. “For us, it’s more like every other day holds the important stuff.”

Gov. Dewine closed the schools. We had a June wedding which seemed so far away that we thought it wouldn’t be affected by the pandemic. The Summit eased our worries, they were no longer accepting any new reservations during the crisis, in case any existing dates needed to change.

Then I started to see big events change their dates: The Kentucky Derby (May), The Tony Awards (June), and even the Old West End Festival (June). I first watched a COVID-19 update with Gov. Dewine and Dr. Amy Acton on April 2 and I started to panic. So I sent an email to The Summit looking for potential new dates.

decided to tackle each vendor in order of importance to us as a couple. We emailed our reception venue, photographer, and church first. Once we confirmed a new date (in November) with those three, I contacted all the other vendors, asking if they were available— luckily they were— and I only had to wait to hear from two vendors. I’ve been planning our wedding on Trello (which I highly recommend!) and created a “COVID-19” card that had a checklist of all the vendors I needed to reach out to.

have a small bridal party, so that made it easier to change the date and keep them all involved. For close family, we made sure to confirm the date with them as well.

For guests, we sent an email out in mid-April announcing the date change and mailed a new Save-the-Date card. Since we’re now having a November wedding, we’re hoping this gives enough time for guests to plan.

o n your s p ec i a l day 1242 West Sylvania Ave Toledo, OH 419-478-5455

Erin Niswander & Kurtis Alexander When did you get engaged? One year ago (May 5, 2019). He took me out in a boat on Lake Erie and stopped in front of the Toledo Harbor Lighthouse to pop the question.

It was the most perfect weather that day, so we took the boat over to Put-In-Bay to celebrate.

How did you go about planning for the wedding? Having a Type A personality, I started planning immediately after we got engaged. Within a month we had all of our major wedding vendors, including the venue, booked for October 10, 2020. My parents’ wedding anniversary is October 11, and honestly, my fiancé is really bad about remembering dates, so 10/10/2020 seemed like the perfect date for us!

How are you dealing with possible changes due to the pandemic? When coronavirus first came around, we kept talking about how thankful we were that we decided on a fall wedding. But now the date is getting closer and there is talk of a second round [of COVID-19] coming in the fall. So, as of right now, while I have almost everything booked, I have also contacted all of the vendors and clarified what would happen if we decided to reschedule or needed to cancel.

If it comes down to it, we will still get married on our original date, probably in our backyard, and then we will have a reception at a later date. If that is what ends up happening, I will still be happy. In the meantime, the not-knowing is the worst part.

Describe your “plan B” backyard wedding look like in your mind, and what are some changes you’d have to make if that alternative becomes a reality? Right now we both

live in Toledo - we were both born and raised here— but we are actually moving soon to Devil’s Lake in Michigan. We would have just a small ceremony in our backyard with only close family and friends. We would still utilize almost all of the vendors that we have booked, but obviously, with modifications to account for the smaller ceremony.

With our new house we have some acreage, so we have plenty of room to set up the ceremony and a mini reception. A backyard wedding was actually our original plan, but (at first) we hadn’t found a house with enough space! (The plan is), when all is clear again, that we will still have our normal reception as planned at our current venue, with everyone that was originally invited.

DINING GUIDE

What was the original date of your wedding?

June 13 2020— our nine-year-anniversary of dating.

When did the two of you decide it was time to change the date?

May 1. We faced the music and asked the venue and musicians for a new date.

What’s the new date? November 7, the first date available for The Temple & Dueling Pianos.

RESULTS

How much of the planning had you done already, and what will change to accommodate what’s going on with the pandemic?

95% of the work was all done, even hypothetical seating charts.

How have your vendors been working with you during this difficult time? They are stressed too, as their incomes have been greatly affected! Everyone is calm, cordial, and optimistic for a killer wedding reception with the new date.

What tips do you have for couples who are going through the same thing right now with wedding planning? Stay positive. Focus on

the relationship and what a marriage actually means. If you can survive a pandemic and not knowing what’s next with your partner, the marriage— when it happens— will have a solid foundation.

Moving forward during the pandemic

Beautiful Blooms

by Jen

Operations Manager Tiffany Strock has been steadily working to make sure Atlas Bridal Shop stays on schedule with their dress consultations and alterations, which hasn’t been easy. The store closed on March 21, and, since then, roughly half of the brides they’ve been working with have decided to keep their original wedding dates.

5675 Main Street | Sylvania, Ohio 419-517-8821

“Of course they’re getting concerned that they’re not going to have a dress,” said Strock. “We’ve been promising these girls, ‘You’ll have your dress. We will figure out something.’”

For Strock, that has meant pulling files, checking in with brides, and rescheduling appointments (sometimes repeatedly) in an uncertain atmosphere. The store’s seamstress has been steadily working on alterations for May brides, so Atlas is still on schedule.

The store reopened on May 12 with regular hours, though visitors will notice changes to the protocol. Everyone in the store is required to wear a face mask, and brides will now only be able to bring one guest for their try-on appointments.

The shop is also doing curbside pickup for bridesmaid and prom dresses to limit transactions inside the store.

Virtual dress consultations have enabled Atlas Bridal Shop to stay safe while keeping the business running.

“One of the girls who did a virtual consultation with us is a nurse, so it was nice to just be able to connect with her All brides with appointments at Atlas and to do something hopeful,” are required to wear a mask in the said Strock. “It was something store, even during their try-on. fun for her to look forward to because she’s dealing with so much (at work) right now.”

Share Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

By Morgan Kovacs

If you live in the Midwest but aren’t yet embracing the availability of farm-fresh food, up your game and enjoy the fresh produce from Mother Earth.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) makes locally grown, fresh food easy to access. CSAs allow consumers to purchase local, seasonal food directly from farmers by offering “shares” to the public, typically featuring vegetables and fruit. The shares are delivered to a set pickup location, weekly or bi-weekly, depending on the schedule included in the share purchase. It’s a mutual relationship as the consumer supports local farmers while also enjoying ultra-fresh produce while saving money and time. We’ve rounded up information on local CSAs to fit your needs.

Share sizes: $11.25 per week/mini vegetable share (3-5 fresh vegetables). $19.25 per week/ base vegetable share (6-9 fresh seasonal vegetables) Runs: June-mid October.

Riehm Produce Farm

Pickup locations: Sylvania, Tiffin, Ottawa Hills, Bowling Green, Maumee, Downtown Toledo, Perrysburg and the farm.

Say goodbye to grocery store shopping this summer. Riehm Produce Farm provides fruit, meat, eggs, coffee, bread and even flowers as an addition to your CSA share. Each delivery also comes with culinary tips and tutorials so you can make the most out of your vegetables.

Riehm Produce Farm, 7244 N. State Route 53, Tiffin, 419-992-4392, funacres.net.

Toledo GROWS

The word “farm” does not immediately conjure up images of an urban setting, but maybe it should. Toledo GROWS focuses on community gardening, transforming neglected areas into bountiful, green space. While their summer shares have sold out, check back in July for information about the late summer share, which runs August-October. Individual produce items can also be ordered weekly, depending on availability, through the online store.

Share sizes: $450/20-week full share (feeds 3- 4). $250/10-week full share. $300/ 20-week half share (feeds 1-2). $175/ 10-week half share. $80/20-week egg share.

Pickup location: Urban Farm 900 Oneida St. (between Cherry and Lagrange, downtown) 419-720-8714 toledogrows.org.

Runs: June-October.

Toledo GROWS top tips for vegetable garden success: When planting seeds always follow the directions on the package which are specific to the seeds you are trying to germinate and offer the best chance at success.

Space out your vegetables for a good yield. At maturity, plants should receive sunlight and air flow on every side of each plant.

In the summer, water your garden in the morning or early afternoon before the heat of the day. Hydrated plants are less prone to become stressed by lack of water, a condition that can result in poor growth.

Water the base of the plants to keep leaves dry while using a perforated hose head so the water hits the ground in a soft strike, disturbing fewer soil pathogens, which cause diseases, preventing them from splashing the plant’s leaves.

Share sizes: $400/double share (recommended for larger families) delivered weekly. $220/half-share delivered bi-weekly.

Pickup locations: Online and phone orders for produce, bedding and vegetable plants can be picked up at a variety of locations in Michigan.

Michigan-based Goetz Family Farm has worked the same plot of land since 1905, but transitioned from grain and livestock to produce in the late 1970s. Today, the farm’s fresh vegetables, bedding plants, hanging baskets, herbs, and more are loved by both families and restaurants, like Zingerman’s, Grange Kitchen and Bar, Lunch Room, Spencer’s, and the Detroit Street Filling Station.

Bittersweet Farms top tips for vegetable garden success: To deter pests, plant marigolds near your vegetable plants.

Insects and small animals do not like the smell of the flowers.

Bittersweet Farms

Bittersweet Farms is a model farm which employs adults with autism, aiming to positively impact their lives. Sign up for a Bittersweet CSA and let their produce positively impact your life.

Due to the pandemic, Bittersweet Farms cancelled the spring share, but they currently have plans to offer summer and fall shares beginning in July and September.

Plant nasturtiums as a companion plant for lettuce, kale, broccoli, cabbage, and other plants in the brassica family that are susceptible to aphids, because aphids will be more attracted to the flowers than the veggies in the bed. Nasturtiums also attract beneficial insects that eat aphids and other pests, along with attracting pollinators to your garden.

Consider starting with heartier plants, like lettuce and radishes, that can withstand unpredictable weather. Cold tolerant plants are beneficial in the uncertain weather of spring. Grown together as companion plants, radish tops provide some shade for the lettuce as it grows, preventing it from bolting and becoming bitter.

Shared Legacy Farms

Share Legacy may have sold out of CSA slots, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy their produce. Sign up to receive weekly emails letting you know what extra, seasonal veggies are available for purchase.

7900 Dixen Rd., Monroe MI. 734-777-2824. jentzenfarms.com.

Runs: July-October Share sizes: $400/ full share. $250/ half-share. $60/egg share. $115/ whole, frozen chicken share, delivered every other week.

Pickup locations: Perrysburg Farmers’ Market and the Toledo Farmers’ Market

Weber Ranch

Weber Ranch already sold out their 2020 CSA slots, but you can still enjoy their products. Browse their online store which boast pasture raised products like turkey, eggs, pork, beef, poultry and honey. As you would with a CSA, just set a time and place to pick up your items. But instead of a weekly pickup and predetermined products, make your selections online when you want to purchase.

Their website also features yummy recipes like grilled brown sugar butterflied chicken, spinach and mozzarella egg bake and more.

Pickup locations: Perrysburg, Sylvania, and at the Ranch (4965 Defiance Pike, Wayne OH. weberranchllc.com).

“Zen Buddhism is not about working towards a goal of achievement, like so much in our society, but instead seeking a quiet, personal and more lasting transformation within,” Haas explains. Soto Zen, which Haas has practiced for 17 years, uses sitting and being present to unfold acceptance and inner peace.

“It’s about intimacy, with self and everything. Through being present, we come to a deeper state of knowing and not knowing,” Haas says.

Haas’ advice for us in today’s climate is to practice getting in touch with what you’re feeling and letting it move through you. This can be nurtured by being still, with reflection and ritual.

“When is there going to be another time

when you’re not allowed to work? The opportunity now is to be still, with a beginners’ mind,” Haas says.

“And let us thank those who are allowing us and supporting us to cultivate this practice— those working on the front lines— for giving us this opportunity.”

Sit with it

Haas continues the mission of rustbeltZen for people everywhere including prisons, rehabs and support groups for many aspects of the human condition.

The group hosts Mindful Mondays with Toledo City Paper and a Thursday session called “Meditation in Recovery” on Zoom.

“My practice has always been about sharing with others, especially people who are suffering,” Haas says. “I am not a teacher. I invite people to gather together; including everything, excluding nothing.”

“Everything changes,” Haas says.

“This too shall pass.”

Mindful Mondays takes place at 11am every Monday, beginning June 15, at toledocitypaper.com.

ART TO HEART

By Lindsy Buser

Hallways of Hope

Artists show support for health care workers

By Jeff McGinnis Toledo area artists have taken the chance to express support and gratitude to Glass City medical professionals as part of the new Hallways of Hope project.

The program, the result of a partnership between The Arts Commission, ProMedica and 2-Scale, commissioned nine Toledo artists to create pieces of art in honor of healthcare workers as a part of National Nurses Week, which began on May 6. The original pieces are being displayed at ProMedica Toledo Hospital.

The artworks were then reproduced as full-size posters by Hollandbased advertising agency 2-Scale.

The resulting works will be hung at other ProMedica health care facilities throughout the area.

Ode to the Zip Code

George Hayes

43607

Your ZIP code is more than just your address— it’s part of your identity.

Since 2016, the Toledo City Paper has joined The Fair Housing Center, The Arts Commission, the Toledo Lucas County Public Library and (new this year!)

Toledo Area Parent News, in asking Toledoans to submit short poems inspired by their ZIP code— with the number of words in each line of the poem determined by the corresponding digit in their ZIP code.

Now, during a time when home is so important, the annual Ode to the ZIP Code poetry contest has taken on a special meaning, and we couldn’t be more excited to share the diverse voices of Toledoans.

Here’s a small selection of the 250+ submissions, which were evaluated by a panel of judges including Jim Ferris, Sandra Rivers-Gill, and Haley Taylor.

COVID GALLERY Views of Toledo during the coronavirus pandemic

A sign at the corner of South St. Clair and Lafayette Streets read, “Healthcare workers, thank you so much.”

By Nolan Cramer A humorous handmade notice lets customers know that outside seating was unavailable at Fritzie Freeze on North Summit Street in Point Place.

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the landscape of the greater Toledo area.

No one could have predicted that there would be a spring without crowds packing Downtown Toledo to see the Mud Hens. Or that the University of Toledo’s campus would be virtually empty during finals week.

While everyone’s life has been impacted by the pandemic, this photo gallery highlights how the area has changed and adapted.

A sign lets people know that the Ye Olde Durty Bird on South St. Clair Street is currently operating carry out, curbside and delivery during the pandemic.

ToleGO bikes taped off outside Hensville at the corner of North St. Clair and Monroe Streets. The Bike Share program is currently disabled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The sign outside of the SeaGate Convention Centre on North Summit Street reads, “TOGETHER WE FIGHT #Coronavirus”

A sign on the door of Inside the Five Brewing Co. on Main Street in Sylvania lets customers know they are open carry-out and to-go beer.

The sign outside of The Flower Market by Bartz Viviano on Monroe Street located near Toledo Hospital reads, “Stay Safe Toledo.”

Week of May 21

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for,â&#x20AC;? writes author Barbara Kingsolver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.â&#x20AC;?

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, that is exactly the work you should be doing right now, Gemini. Everything good that can and should happen for you in the coming months depends on you defining what you hope for, and then doing whateverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary to live inside that hope.

Š2020

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Humanity is a mystery,â&#x20AC;? wrote author Fyodor Dostoevsky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mystery needs to be unraveled, and if you spend your whole life unraveling it, you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wasted your time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a complete human being.â&#x20AC;? I love this tender perspective on the preciousness of the Great Riddle weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all immersed in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially useful and apropos for you to adopt right now, Pisces, because you are undergoing an unusually deep and intense communion with the mystery. As you marinate, you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t measure your success and good fortune by how much new understanding you have attained, but rather by how much reverence and gratitude you feel and how stirring your questions are.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excellence does not require perfection,â&#x20AC;? wrote Aries author Henry James. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m conveying this brilliant counsel to youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just in time for the season when it will make good sense to strive for shining excellence without getting bogged down in a debilitating quest for perfection. Have fun re-committing yourself to doing the best you can, Aries, even as you refuse to be tempted by the unprofitable lure of absolute purity and juvenile forms of idealism.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): To generate an ounce of pure cocaine, you must collect 52 pounds of raw coca leaf and work hard to transform it. But please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that. Fate wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be on your side if you do. However, I will suggest that you consider undertaking a metaphorically comparable processâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;by gathering a sizable amount of raw material or basic stuff that will be necessary to produce the small treasure or precious resource that you require.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The periodic arrivals of â&#x20AC;&#x153;natural disruptionâ&#x20AC;? in our everyday routines has a divine purpose, writes Yoruba priest AwĂł Falokun Fatunmbi. It is â&#x20AC;&#x153;to shake consciousness loose from complacency and rigid thinking.â&#x20AC;? To be vital, he says, our perception of truth must be constantly evolving, and never stagnant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Truth is a way of looking at self and World,â&#x20AC;?

Fatunmbi declares. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a state of being rather than an act of knowing.â&#x20AC;? Many Westerners find this hard to understand because they regard truth as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fixed set of rules or dogma,â&#x20AC;? or as a body of â&#x20AC;&#x153;objective facts.â&#x20AC;? But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the good news: Right now, you Cancerians are especially receptive to Fatunmbiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alternative understanding of truthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and likely to thrive by adopting it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Novelist and war correspondent Martha Gellhorn departed this life in 1998, but she articulated a message thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for you to hear right now. She wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;People often say, with pride, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not interested in politics.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They might as well say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Gelhorn added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we mean to keep control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics.â&#x20AC;? In my opinion, her advice is always applicable to all of us, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially crucial for you to meditate on right now.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be wise to upgrade your interest and involvement in the big cultural and political developments that are impacting your personal destiny.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to author and teacher Marianne Williamson, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ego says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Once everything falls into place, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel peace.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Spirit says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? I think the coming

May 20 â&#x20AC;˘ June 16

weeks will be a favorable time for you to take Williamsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice seriously, Virgo. How? By giving control of your life to Spirit as you find your peace. In saying this, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not implying that Ego is bad or wrong. In fact, I think Ego is a crucial asset for you, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping that in recent months you have been lifting your Ego to a higher, finer state of confidence and competence than ever before. But right now I think you should authorize Spirit to run the show for a while. If you do, it will bless you with good surprises LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snatching the eternal out of the desperately fleeting is the great magic trick of human existence.â&#x20AC;? Playwright Tennessee Williams said that, and now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m conveying his insight to youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just in time for you to dramatically embody it.

According to my astrological analysis, you now have more power than usual to accomplish this magic trick: to create something permanent in the midst of the transitory; to make an indelible mark on a process that has previously been characterized by restless permutations; to initiate a bold move that you will forever remember and be remembered for.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the course of his 73 years on the planet, Scorpio author Paul ValĂŠry (1871â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1945) wrote more than 20 books. But between the ages of 25 and 45, he passed through a phase he called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;great silence.â&#x20AC;? During that time, he quit writing and published nothing. Afterwards, he returned to his lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work and was nominated 12 times for a Nobel Prize. Although your own version of a great silence is less extreme than his, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to announce that you will emerge from it sooner than you imagine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sad that my two favorite 19th-century poets were unfamiliar with each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poetry. Walt Whitman was 11 years older than Emily Dickinson, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know her work.

Dickinson had heard of Whitman, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read his stuff.

Their styles were indeed very different: hers intimate, elliptical, psychologically acute; his expansive, gregarious, earthy. But they were alike in being the most innovative American poets of their time, and equally transgressive in their disregard for standard poetic forms. If there were such a thing as time travel, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d send one of you Sagittarians back to set up a meeting between them. Acts of innovative blending and creative unifying will be your specialties in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The fictional character Sherlock Holmes (born January 6, and thus a Capricorn) is a brilliant logician and acute observer who has astonishing crime-solving skills. On the other hand, according to his friend Dr. Watson, he â&#x20AC;&#x153;knows next to nothingâ&#x20AC;? about â&#x20AC;&#x153;contemporary literature, philosophy, and politics.â&#x20AC;? So heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a well-rounded person. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smart in some ways, dumb in others. Most of us fit that description. We are both brilliant and ignorant; talented and inept; interesting and boring. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to hone and cultivate the less mature aspects of your own nature. I bet youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll reap rich rewards by doing so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): â&#x20AC;&#x153;People become like what they love,â&#x20AC;? observed theologian St. Catherine of Siena. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be an interesting truth for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. I suspect you will attract experiences that are clear reflections of the kind of love you have cultivated and expressed for quite some time. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be blessed in ways similar to the ways you have blessed.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be challenged to face questions about love that you have not been dealing with. And hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a promise for the future: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the opportunity to refine and deepen your approach to love so as to transform yourself into more of the person youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to become.
