Former Lucas County Poet Laureate (2008-2013) Joel Lipman has spent the past year writing poems specific to a life living along the Great Lakes. Some of his poems will be published in “Living Seas� (Quarterly Journal of the Great Lakes Historical Society). One of his poems is the timely “Drinking Maumee Bay,� which is excerpted here:
DRINKING MAUMEE BAY By Joel Lipman Erie’s Maumee Bay absorbs 691,000,000 gallons yearly, of livestock manure direct from the watershed’s thick mix of excrement and slop. Wood County poultry barns, Ohio mega farms, Indiana hog pens, a Mapquest scan of hot blue dots upriver across the state line to Ft. Wayne and beyond. Froth and runoff pumped from CAFO tanks through treatment troughs, then piped to the sink. Chemical soup, chicken poop, cow plop, muck, faint flecks. Iridescent striations, phosphorus, zinc and merc lace the white flesh of fish Ohio’s pregnant moms risk fetuses to taste. Sludge from Toledo’s ship canal, harbor dredge, ballast, dock drop, the Maumee River dumps it all in the Bay. From cooling towers west and east nuclear vapors lift and drift. Steam clouds over Monroe condense. Mist blankets bunkers across Ft. Perry, intoxicating the watery mix of Roundup, nuclear juice, agribusiness, industry, treatment plant chemistry and green algae. Water intake from a ghostly lake, concrete pillbox in the haze, ditch to tap, taste, each drink waste.

CITY POLITICS Punch drunk
Candidates square off, literally, in City Politics by Johnny Hildo
If ever there was a “stop the presses!” moment it’s this one. We were about to put the proverbial pen to paper for the typical rundown on candidates in advance of the November 7 general election. We know readerz like yourself crave the ol’ Hildo one-two. Our predictions and prognostications are coveted throughout the land. Okay, at least throughout the Froggyland. Anyhoo, we were ready, willing, and able to get into the thicket with the sticky wicket and give you our book on Campaign Twenty Seventeen. Then the TCP Political Party happened. And nothing will ever be the same again.

2,000 LBS. OF HOLIDAY CHEDDAR
If you weren’t there, shame onya, but check out the video on the TCP web page. What can be said about the crop o’ crazies running for office this fall after that stunning display? We’ll just jot down some notes, but we wuz impressed by the display of guts by all the participants. Jim Anderson, candidate for judge, did a rap that included lyrics making some interesting demands. Council incumbent Rob Who?deman sang John Lennon’s “Imagine,” with a unique interpretation of the song. Ruth Leonard may not be a school board member come twenty eighteen, but she can give Adele a run for her money. We’d say judicial candidate Nicole Khoury would give Janis Joplin a run, too, but poor ol’ Janis isn’t running much lately. Council candidate Nick Komives can screen a mean shirt, and we agree, Toledo should be much gayer. Fellow candidate Sam Melden knows a really great a capella quartet, and how to use it, too. And candidate Gary Johnson can busta rhyme better’n Busta Rhymes. Clyde Phillips, needing a prayer in November, showed some innovative stage presence with a face drawn on the back of his head that he referred to as “Nick Komives.” Patricia Robinson, belted out a song that made her sound, well, interesting. And Wade, just so you know, “Oliver” did not win the 1967 Oscar. “In the Heat of the Night” did. Like any night of glitz and glamor, there were a few cameo appearances. Council President Steven Steel, not on the ballot due to term limits, nevertheless kicked off the festivities, and Mayor Paula HH, reportedly lurking around outside, never made it into the show. We hear local GOP chair Jon Stainbrook was there, too. The glitterati was indeed out in force.
October 25 • November 7
Choking the chicken
The real stars of the show never made it onto the stage, though. See, Councilman Larry Sykes was once a champion boxer, not the kind of talent normally displayed in the political arena. Or in a talent show, for that matter. Enter self-styled agitator and erstwhile Council candidate Julian Mack. Mack launched his smack-attack on Sykes from the minute the latter began the slow walk on the red carpet leading to the event. Sykes tried to brush it off, but Smack was having none of it. Nothing riles up a smack-talker like being ignored. Smack decided he needed an audience, so he tried to spin Sykes around to face him. Bad move, Smack ol’ chap. Sykes still has those boxer’s reflexes. Rather than admit the error of his ways, Smack decided to up the ante by filming the incident and calling the popo. Yep, the same po-po that Smack had famously weeks ago admonished us to have rough sex with. Smack told the police that Sykes had choked him and punched him in the face. They duly took Sykes away, while Smack redoubled his smack-attack on anyone in the vicinity who would listen. He then took his side of the story to social media, posting a picture he says shows him being choked. The truth will win out, they say. Here’s some thoughts in the meantime. It’s doubtful someone being choked would have the wherewithal to take a picture (except if you had set the ol’ smart phone up to capture a pre-planned incident). If’n you dish it out, you gotta learn to take it. Remember that jerk kid in your class who would start a fight and then run to the teacher and tattle after he got punked? What an arse-hat. Then there’s this one, Mr. Smack. Sykes’ attorney issued a statement on October 23rd stating that both he and Smack agree, “many facts surrounding this matter have been misunderstood.” Smack now wants to get out of the court case and settle the misunderstandings out of the prying public eye. Shoulda thought about that before rushing to call the police and media. What goes up, must come down. As for Sykes, it’s a heckuva press hit within weeks of an election. Here’s the one prediction we’ll make. The election will be a referendum on how many voters want to go back in time and choke out that jerky kid arse-hat from school. We think Sykes is a shoo-in.

What do you do to look, or feel, better?
I feel my best when my body is moving more and my mind less. Getting my heart rate up in the outdoors is ideal— a vinyasa yoga routine on my deck, hiking with friends at Wildwood Preserve Metropark, or cycling on the Wabash/Cannonball Trail. To slow my mind, I meditate daily. The best days start with a guided meditation (thank you, YouTube!) while I’m still snuggled in my bed. If I need a reset throughout the day, I simply sit crosslegged on the floor, at my desk, or in my car— breath deeply and repeat mantras, allowing any anxiety to evaporate.
My biggest indulgences are:
Coffee with real cream, Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, and monthly massages.
Time to unwind: would you rather be left alone, or taken to a party?
AVANTI
While it brings me joy to connect with friends and meet new people, when my batteries need recharging I prefer to be alone— curled up with my dog, a nice glass of red wine, and the New York Times’ Crossword Puzzle.

What should I do for my mind and body when I’m feeling down? Make a cup of herbal tea and journal.
What’s your best advice for starting a new health or wellness routine?
Do a habit stack. Take a habit you already have and add your new habit to the already-established one. For instance, if you want to begin taking a multivitamin every morning, begin by taking it with your coffee.
Advice on aging?
Where do I start? Be gentle with yourself. Extra weight you may be carrying around or smile lines are all signs that you are making memories with family and friends. Plus, you can always come see me for Botox! Continued on p.13

FAT REMOVAL AND BODY CONTOURING Fall is a popular time for permanent fat removal and body contouring. There are three popular ways to get rid of fat:
Injections
Smart Lipo
Coolsculpting
Kybella is the only injectable fat-melting solution on the market. It works best for smaller areas like chins, jowls, or touchups. It is injected into the fat, and the fat is damaged and cycled out by the body.
The gold standard of lipo services, Smart Lipo remains the best way to remove fat AND tighten skin in one procedure. This can also be combined with a tummy tuck to remove excess skin.
The most effective way to remove fat from the outside is Coolsculpting. It freezes fat and the damaged cells are cycled out of the body. No other noninvasive procedure is as effective.

More than 37 million Americans suffer with chronic rhinosinusitis, a persistent inflammation of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses that causes a wide range of unpleasant physical symptoms, such as headache, facial pressure and pain, sinus drainage, nasal congestion, reduced sense of smell and taste, tooth pain, bad breath, and fatigue. These recurrent symptoms can significantly interfere with daily activities and diminish one’s quality of life. Dr. Christopher Perry, founder of the Toledo Clinic ENT Sinus Center of Excellence has helped thousands of chronic sinusitis sufferers (including pediatric patients) in our area breathe easier and feel better through a revolutionary, minimally invasive endoscopic procedure called Balloon Sinuplasty. During this procedure, a small, flexible balloon catheter is placed through the nostril and into the blocked sinus. The balloon is then inflated to gently restructure and open the sinus passageway, restoring normal sinus drainage and function. The procedure is similar in many ways to the balloon angioplasty technique used to open narrowed coronary arteries. “I’ve done thousands of these procedures, and found that Balloon Sinuplasty is just as effective at relieving symptoms of nasal congestion, sinus pressure, drainage, and headaches. Its long-term success rate is equal to or better than traditional sinus surgery,” Dr. Perry explains. “Conventional endoscopic sinus surgery involves the removal of bone and tissue to open up blocked sinus passageways, which can lead to post-operative pain and scarring and often requires uncomfortable nasal packing to control bleeding. In stark contrast, Balloon Sinuplasty simply restructures the bone and tissue around the natural opening into the sinus, which translates into less pain, less bleeding, faster recovery times, and no need for painful nasal packing.” The Balloon Sinuplasty procedure until now has been performed in an operating room setting with the patient asleep under general anesthesia, but Dr. Perry offers a pioneered form of the procedure called In-Office Balloon Sinuplasty, which is performed right in the office using only a topical and local anesthetic. Not only is In-Office Balloon Sinuplasty more convenient and cost-effective than surgery at a hospital or surgery center, but it’s also just as safe and effective. What’s more, patients do not have to worry about the risk of side effects or complications associated with general anesthesia. “The experience is much like going to the dentist’s office to fill a cavity,” Dr. Perry notes. “The advent of In-Office Balloon Sinuplasty makes it possible for me to help chronic sinusitis sufferers who do not want general anesthesia or who are unable to tolerate it. In essence, more patients who would benefit from this procedure now have access to it. Our Balloon Sinuplasty patients are also very pleased to learn that there is virtually no downtime following the in-office procedure. In fact, most are able to return to work or school the next day.” Balloon Sinuplasty isn’t appropriate for every patient, and traditional endoscopic sinus surgery is still an important tool utilized by ENT surgeons, but patients who are candidates for this revolutionary procedure very often find long-awaited relief from their debilitating sinusitis symptoms— and that’s something worth celebrating.

Toledo MAYORAL CANDIDATES
Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson Endorsed Democrat. Incumbent.
My platform: My platform revolves the following core tenets: economic growth and job creation; protecting our drinking water and Lake Erie; providing for safe, livable neighborhoods; and providing effective and efficient city services. Three personal values and how are they evident in my work: Compassion, truthfulness and integrity. I live and work by these values everyday as your Mayor. What keeps me up at night: Making the right decisions in the present that will create a positive and sustainable future for all Toledoans. How I will work with the Lucas County Commissioners: As I have been, I will continue to seek common ground, shared vision and values. Proudest moment as Mayor of Toledo: I have many, but I’m always especially proud whenever a citizen receives great customer service dealing with the city. My unfinished business: I will work with communities to create livable neighborhoods where families can work, live and play. Fixing the streets: We have instituted several methods to repair residential streets. We will use all methods and resources available to fix our aging infrastructure. Increasing accessibility: We are continually working to provide access to all citizens. We have resources that can help with translation for limited English speakers and will always work to ensure all Toledoans needs are met. How Toledo should promote diversity: We can connect the various groups and organizations working on issues of diversity and inclusion, while using the Board of Community Relations to promote activities and opportunities to engage with each other. Improving housing: We’ve successfully worked on many programs that help to address housing stock issues. The City has a program where citizens can apply to purchase vacant lots to decrease neglect.

On the rise in Toledo. We must continue to attract young people in order for our city to thrive in the future.

Toledo MAYORAL CANDIDATES
Wade Kapszukiewicz
Law enforcement should carry Narcan.
Yes.
Unendorsed Democrat. Newcomer.
My platform: I am running for Mayor because I believe that the City needs new leadership to move forward. We are at a crossroads. The time is now to figure out the big plans and dream the big ideas to make Toledo what we all know it can be.
Toledo needs to (join cities like Columbus, Indianapolis and Grand Rapids) make serious investments in a more robust and modern public transportation system.
Yes.
Three personal values and how are they evident in my work: When I attended Marquette for college, I met a priest there who was my Political Science professor. He believed, and I think rightly so, that public service is a calling and that serving as an elected official was one of the best ways to make change and do good. I have carried what he taught me throughout my entire career.
Downtown Toledo development needs to benefit the people who live in the surrounding predominantly low-income and African American neighborhoods.
Yes.
What keeps me up at night: Mostly my dog and my children! But, in terms of what I worry about, it really is the future of the city and the important responsibility to bring about change that is so badly needed for Toledo to thrive. I worry that Toledo will continue to decline and lose population. I worry that when my kids have the chance to decide where to live and raise their families they won’t chose Toledo because there is nothing for them here. I know we can turn Toledo around.
Lake Erie must be designated as impaired.
Yes.
To voters who claim that the city has given up too much to make room for ProMedica, I would say…
At this point, I am not ready to say ‘no’. But, no matter who is doing the asking, we must be prepared to protect our city plan when integrating new development into existing infrastructure.
The relationship between ICE and Toledo’s administration and police department should be …
Every member of our community should be able to call the police whenever a victim to or a witness of crime.
Toledo’s employment and social opportunities for young adults are …
Improving. We have sports teams that do a lot to attract young people and young families to games and social opportunities around games. We have bars and restaurants. We have the Metroparks and a 5K almost every weekend for active citizens. It is about bringing all voices into the conversation about what is needed to improve.
A community benefit or program that I want to initiate is …
Universal Pre-K should be a goal for our community. ALL 3 and 4 year olds in our community deserve the opportunity to learn and set a path for themselves to excel throughout their entire academic career. The research on this is clear: the sooner we reach kids and teach kids, the better they will be long term.
How I will work with the Lucas County Commissioners: I know all of the Commissioners personally. Lack of communication, inability to agree to a plan or collaborate and suing one another is not the answer. To move our entire region forward, we need all of the parties at the table. What makes your leadership a fresh perspective? I am open to new ideas and a fresh approach. I don’t believe we need to do things a certain way. I recognize that our city has to change, adapt and modernize to attract and retain the next generation of leaders, the next generation of home buyers and the next generation of entrepreneurs. What do you mean about restructuring government? When I’m mayor, we’re going to bring fundamental change to the way our local government operates. My administration will lead an effort to consolidate significant portions of city and county government. I will reach out to County officials who I believe are also ready for change.What we need to be doing is working together. Such a step can both save money for the taxpayers, and improve the quality of our services for both the City and the County. The money saved through consolidation will free up resources to devote to our most pressing needs: safer neighborhoods and taking care of our streets and city infrastructure. Everything should be on the table but our initial focus will be on Economic Development, Building Inspection, payroll and other finance functions, Human Resources, and IT departments. Fixing the streets: When I am Mayor, we will do a top to bottom assessment of the City’s plan to fix the streets. We need an analysis of our entire infrastructure. We need data and a plan. I am not sure the City is currently operating with either. Increasing accessibility: I think that most city departments and services probably are accessible… but there is always more that can be done. As Mayor, I want our city to be a welcoming and accessible to everyone. We would need to seek feedback from those individuals who can best tell us what can be done for us to be better.
One thing officials in Toledo need to do, that they haven’t already to ensure safe drinking water and a better future for Lake Erie is …
How Toledo should promote diversity: The fact is we do have a diverse community. The issue is that every member of our community must play a role in the change that is needed to make Toledo the city we all know it can be. We need people of all shapes, sizes, colors creed and orientations to come to the table and help. All voices should be heard. When I am Mayor, I will reach out and I will listen.
Medical marijuana is an issue that I feel …
To admit that we have a problem. Denying there is an issue and refusing to seek out data and the help of scientists until the water is bright green is NOT a plan. All available options from the state and national level must be pursued including grants, funding, research, legislation and investment in clean up. We must do everything we can to protect what we have. Now. I am comfortable with medical marijuana being an option available for those people who need it.
Improving housing: The Lucas County Land Bank, which I chair, has made great strides since it began to remove or restore blighted properties throughout all of our neighborhoods. But, alone it is not enough. We need to work together to create jobs in our community to increase the demand for housing.

TOLEDO CITY council candidates
Nick Komives
Kurt Young
Endorsed Democrat. Incumbent.
Endorsed Democrat. Incumbent.
My platform: As our Public Safety Chair I’ll fight to make our neighborhoods safer. As a successful small business owner I’ll work to bring more good jobs with good benefits to Toledo, and as a longtime homeowner I’ll push to finally fix our roads.
My platform: I am working to make Toledo more vibrant, stronger, and desirable. I will do that through focusing on a clean environment, safe neighborhoods, and making Toledo an easy place to do business.
Three personal values and how are they evident in my work: As a working families attorney and someone who has fought to protect their right to vote here in Toledo for years I have strong faith in our democratic process. My father was in the Navy and taught me the value of hard work, and my wife, Cheri, a minister, has helped me deepen my personal faith in God.
Three personal values and how are they evident in my work: Transparency: In all of my work I am upfront and clear on my intentions. I believe we are at our best when we live authentically and honestly. Empathy: We all come to where we are through different experiences. We all have value and a unique perspective. I respect and value all people by starting from a place of love and understanding. Creativity: Our environment is constantly changing and the game is different today than it was even just ten years ago. We have to think about our issues from a different perspective in order to create change.
What keeps me up at night: As a proud husband and father of two amazing teenagers, I always worried about them. Now, as our newest City Council Member and head of the Public Safety Committee— I don’t just stay up worrying about my kids— I worry about every kid in Toledo.
Downtown Toledo development needs to benefit the people who live in the surrounding predominantly low-income and African American neighborhoods.
Yes. Preference to those living there already first.
Downtown Toledo development needs to benefit the people who live in the surrounding predominantly low-income and African American neighborhoods.
Lake Erie must be designated as impaired.
Yes. It’s a piece to the puzzle. We MUST do better.
The relationship between ICE and Toledo’s administration and police department should be …
Nonexistent. ICE will do what they are tasked to do by the federal government, but when they do they break up families and cause more harm than good. We are talking about human beings. Toledo improves when we embrace everyone. We have a long history of embracing humans. We should find ways to ensure the safety and value in everyone.
Toledo’s employment and social opportunities for young adults are …
Improving. I remember when I was younger and becoming an adult, I used to think that there was nothing to do in this community. Now I can’t seem to find time to make it to every event that I find interesting. There is something to do in this city every single day. Employment opportunities are also improving. As our industries diversify, more and more young people will stay.
A community benefit or program that I want to initiate is …
Homeless to Hired. It’s a model I picked up while working out west. We complain every year that we have unkempt parks, grass to be mowed on vacant lots, pools to open that need maintained, and more. Homeless to Hired would create a mechanism to hire homeless people who find barriers to employment or link them to services that they desperately need. If a person is able to work, we can have them complete the tasks that we can’t manage and hold our city hostage from growth. If they need food, shelter, treatment, and more, we can get them off the street and back on their feet. It’s a program that address many issues at once, and that’s exactly what we must seek-- holistic solutions.
Clyde F. Phillips, Jr.
Unendorsed Democrat. Newcomer. My platform: Advocating for the citizens’ and business community of Toledo, Ohio by providing a link between One Government Center and the Community. Being a voice for the Youth through mentorship, education and job training equipping them with the tools to be successful, as well as, providing a viable workforce for the Toledo community. Three personal values and how are they evident in my work: Faith: Evident in my walk with Christ. Leadership: Evident in my work mentoring youth, particularly related to sports. Citizenship: Evident in my passion to help in the community, to be a voice of reason and fairness. What keeps me up at night: What Toledo will look like when my children become adults. Am I making it better or worse for their future?
20
What keeps me up at night: Trump’s ridiculous Tweets. Equality Toledo’s work. A thirst for more knowledge. Netflix. Research on what other cities do to combat similar issues
It needs to benefit all Toledoans including those in Visutla, Elwood, OWE, etc.
Lake Erie must be designated as impaired.
Yes, it will make all other cities and villages do we’ve done.
The relationship between ICE and Toledo’s administration and police department should be …
Distant. Chief Kral and I both said, after the Jeff Sessions stunt in June that Toledo won’t be a private police force for anyone, especially politicians in Washington, D.C.
Toledo’s employment and social opportunities for young adults are …
Picking up, but not enough. We’ve got to push hard for new businesses, new entertainment and new recreation throughout Toledo. As the Dad to two Toledo teenagers, I’m passionately committed to creating jobs that will keep our kids here.
A community benefit or program that I want to initiate is …
A program to help people start their own businesses from scratch and to fill vacant retail spaces, based upon an idea from a organization called Model Block.
Downtown Toledo development needs to benefit the people who live in the surrounding predominantly low-income and African American neighborhoods.
Yes. It should not just focus on loft/apartment living for middle-upper class.
Lake Erie must be designated as impaired.
Yes. We need more legislation on the state and local level to rectify the problem.
The relationship between ICE and Toledo’s administration and police department should be …
To remain open, fair and ongoing partnership between the three departments for a safer city and surrounding areas.
Toledo’s employment and social opportunities for young adults are …
For some groups the opportunities are abundant and easily accessible; for others they are non-existent or minimal or are not widely promoted and advertised.
A community benefit or program that I want to initiate is …
To have a partnership with local trade unions to offer their apprenticeship programs to areas of low-income populations so they have better access to the programs, which in turn will provide a stronger, younger workforce, and offer better employment opportunities and income to those individuals.

TOLEDO CITY council candidates
Alfonso R. Narvaez
Endorsed Republican. Newcomer. My platform: My platform is neighborhood based. I believe our neighborhoods should be put 1st. Working with residents I believe and know we can solve a lot of our problems in the city. Community engagement is key. We started a community group 6 years ago with the hope to lower crime. We were averaging 6 to 7 pages of stats a month, as of September we’re down to half a page. Three personal values and how are they evident in my work: #1- Hard Work-- I crawled into a 10 foot rain basin along side the I-280 bike path to pull up a 90 pound steel grate. Safety of our parks is important to me. ( Video on Facebook page) #2- Community-- We cleaned over 40 plus vacant properties in North Toledo #3- Perception of one’s neighborhood-- I fought the State of Ohio’s decision to more death row inmates to Toledo. They reversed their decision after we took to social media. What keeps me up at night: When I hear about a young teen being killed. There’s no reason for the violence. When I heard about the two 18 years being shot, I couldn’t help but a cry for the families. Life is too precious to be taken so soon. Can’t even imagine what the families are going through.
Downtown Toledo development needs to benefit the people who live in the surrounding predominantly low-income and African American neighborhoods.
Yes, share the growth.
Lake Erie must be designated as impaired.
Yes.
The relationship between ICE and Toledo’s administration and police department should be …
Nothing. We have bigger issues.
Toledo’s employment and social opportunities for young adults are …
Great but leadership roles seem to be limited. There doesn’t seem to be youth in leadership.
A community benefit or program that I want to initiate is …
I would continue to reinforce community engagement program like neighborhood groups, Block Watch, area associations.
How I will work with the Lucas County Commissioners: The Commissioners need to start working effectively residents first and foremost. They weren’t forthcoming about the purposed county jail to residents in South Toledo.

My platform: 1. Reducing crime and drug use in Toledo 2. To improve city services without raising taxes 3. To insure the fair and equitable treatment of all Toledo citizens 4. Economic development and job opportunities outside the downtown core. Three personal values and how are they evident in my work: Integrity, trust and dependability. I am known throughout the community as being fair and trustworthy as well as being dependable, but also able to make tough decisions when necessary. What keeps me up at night: I wonder if I have done all I can do, to make the world just a little better for my being here, then it was before I came. How I will work with the Lucas County Commissioners: By looking for ways to collaborate on issues that will make Toledo and the county more efficient and able to offer a better quality of life for all.
My platform: Think about the future. We have to elect a new, fresh perspective that thinks about what Toledo looks like 20 years from now, not 20 years ago. We have so many elected officials who talk about their experience growing up in lovely Toledo neighborhoods and having a great experience. But what about those children growing up in Toledo neighborhoods now? What will their Toledo look like? We need to work for that future, now. My perspective is a fresh addition to council because: In the primary, the average age of the top 6 finishers was 65. I have no problem with 60 year olds, I often consult mentors and advisors around that age, but we need younger leadership. We can not solve 2017 problems with 1987 solutions. I’m ready to plan for the future, while dealing with the issues of the present. How Toledo Should Promote Diversity: By getting involved with incredible initiatives like Welcome Toledo-Lucas County in a more meaningful way. Also, through our neighborhoods. We need to tell the stories of our neighborhoods in a more historical way. Toledo was founded by and built by immigrants, let’s tell that story more intentionally at the neighborhood level.
Downtown Toledo development needs to benefit the people who live in the surrounding predominantly low-income and African American neighborhoods.

Three personal values and how are they evident in my work: Responsibility, Integrity and Honesty are values that have great importance to me. They are evident through my fiercely diligent efforts to work responsibly on issues that are critical to the people I serve. Each week I update the public and state my position on issues facing City Council on my Facebook page. I explain the business that took place at Agenda Review, Council Meetings, my Education, Recreation and Employment Committee Meetings and much more. What keeps me up at night: Nothing keeps me awake at night. I sleep well. Rest is paramount to being refreshed and ready to perform duties associated with work the next day. Being alert and performing efficiently and effectively is extremely important as a Toledo City Council Member.
Downtown Toledo development needs to benefit the people who live in the surrounding predominantly low-income and African American neighborhoods.
Yes. That master plan should be modified for all neighborhoods.

One of cooperation and mutual respect for the mission of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

My platform: Responsible Leadership - Working For You”. In trying to make a difference in all areas, I have taken a very comprehensive approach to my service on Toledo City Council, At Large.

Recreation, Parks, Workforce Development, Public Safety, Finance, Budget Oversight and Water Quality are
Independent. Incumbent.
Three personal values and how are they evident in my work: As I seek a second term I hope that I am recognized for decisions that are well researched, principled, and decidedly independent. What keeps me up at night: The opioid crisis, senseless violence, green algae, potholes, and the tearing down of historically significant buildings to be replaced by short term use retail establishments. Unfinished business: If elected to a second term I will utilize the data from Priority Based Budgeting to align resources with citizen’s priorities. Additionally, I will work to move our Community Development Block Grant dollars out of Government Center, where they are being used for rent and salaries, and into our neighborhoods where they are intended to be used for economic development. I will continue to advocate for code upgrade grants to bring goods and services back to underserved neighborhoods.

Toledo needs to (join cities like Columbus, Indianapolis and Grand Rapids) make serious investments in a more robust and modern public transportation system. Yes. We can’t embrace “new urbanism” when car ownership is non-optional.
The relationship between ICE and Toledo’s administration and police department should be …
The mission of the Toledo Police Department is to serve and protect Toledo’s citizens. It is essential that no citizen is afraid to call our police department for help. TPD should comply with reasonable requests from ICE, while remaining independent and committed to the safety of every person in our community.
Toledo’s employment and social opportunities for young adults are …
important contributors to attracting and retaining those with the talent and innovative ideas to ensure that Toledo will grow.
A community benefit or program that I want to initiate is …
A code upgrade grant to repurpose vacant commercial buildings as “entrepreneur ready” spaces. When a space has been vacant or undergoes a change of use, Ohio Building code requires that it be brought up to New Construction Code. I want to utilize Community Development Block Grant dollars, meant for economic development in low and moderate income neighborhoods, to bring vitality to long abandoned neighborhood retail spaces.
A program that would combine education and public safety and call it “Educate to Elevate”. As Chair of the Education, Recreation and Employment Committee of Toledo City Council, I have collaborated with TPS to get young people who are interested in public safety in a cohort to make them better candidates for our future fire and police classes. We need to keep our city safe and we need to raise the educational level of our community.

Toledo Muni Court Judges
Toledo Board of Education
F
Y
ou must recognize two things to understand the current races for Judge of Toledo Municipal Court. First, no one pays attention to the races for judge. Heck, most people cannot name the sitting judges. Even folks who have been in their courtrooms don’t remember their names. Because no one knows who they are, voters don’t tend to care about voting for them. Every election many more votes are cast at the top of the ballot than the bottom, where the judicial races dwell. The second thing to understand is that, as a consequence of the first, incumbents never lose. Seriously, never. So no one ever runs against an incumbent, and they effectively serve forever. Or until they turn seventy, when they can no longer run, whichever comes first. Witness two of the current races. Incumbents Tim Kuhlman and Michelle Wagner are both running for re-election. Unopposed. There are also two open seats on the bench, vacated by age-limited or retiring incumbents. So five challengers are scrambling for those seats. For the Housing Court bench, challengers include endorsed Republican Jim Anderson, defense lawyer who once served as a clerk under the current incumbent Judge C,. Allen McConnell. See jimandersonforjudge.com. Anderson is opposed by endorsed Democrat Joe Howe, a current prosecutor in that court. His bio is available on howeforjudge. com. A second muni court bench is sought by three challengers. Endorsed Democrat Dale Emch, a former newspaper reporter who is now a solo practitioner in Toledo, according to daleemchforjudge.com. Emch is opposed by endorsed Republican Nicole Khoury, a criminal defense attorney and well-known frontwoman for the band Arctic Clam. Khoury also organizes the wildly successful annual fundraiser Acoustics for Autism. See nicolekhouryforjudge and acousticsforautism.com for more information. The third candidate in this race is Hank Schaefer III. He’s a City prosecutor, who says a defense attorney shouldn’t sit on the bench. See his campaign facebook page, facebook.com/hankschaeferforjudge.
our candidates, including three incumbents, seek three seats on the Toledo School Board. The three incumbents are all from South Toledo. So with the other two Board members, all five are from South Toledo. None from West Toledo, North Toledo, the Point, the Central City, well, you understand. The three South Enders include Polly-Taylor-Gerken, two-time failed candidate for Toledo City Council, a retired school psychologist with TPS, and wife of Lucas County Commissioner Pete Gerken.
The second incumbent, Bob Vasquez, is a long-time child advocate who currently serves as community affairs liaison for the Toledo Zoo. Vasquez and Taylor-Gerken are endorsed Democrats. The third incumbent is Chris Varwig. A long-time registered Republican, Varwig inexplicably sought the endorsement of the Democratic Party this year. She didn’t get it. Varwig was a long-time TPS parent advocate before joining the Board. She says she is a parent with purpose and passion to bring progress. Say that five times real fast. The challenger is endorsed Democrat Ruth Leonard, currently a TPS substitute teacher, a role she would have to resign if elected. The Board is a volunteer position, by the way. She is reportedly not from South Toledo. Not to be outdone in alliteration, she calls herself Leonard for Learners. Leonard says she wants to bring a studentfocus back to the Board.
Hildo sez
Savage: Son of a founder of well-known food bank. Not related to the family of financial advisers, the one after whom Savage Arena at UT is named. Would be oldest member of Council since TM Gabriel.
PHH: Nice, thoughtful, caring, and smart. But never purged the Collins misfits from her administration. That shadow could turn a dark, dark gray on Election Day.
Johnson: Owner of a minority-owned contracting business. Failed candidate for Sylvania Twp. Trustee. Registered to vote in South Toledo. Doubtful he lives there. Might live in Sylvania Township or Old Orchard.
Wade K: Smart, politically astute. A bit sweaty. Took a big risk going against the Democratic establishment. to run for Mayor. The risk could pay off. Hope he fills his Admin with competence, intelligence and vision. It would be a nice change.
Komives: Young activist in labor and LGBTQIA issues. Could tell you what LGBTQIA stands for. Related to basketball legend Butch Komives. Would lower the average age of Council by decades. Unless Savage also gets elected, then they would cancel each other out.
Spang: Number one in the polls. An incumbent member of Council, she spent four years talking about lack of respect. Respect comes with advancing meaningful legislation. Nada from Sandy.
Melden: Works at Leadership Toledo. Founded Food for Thought. Worked on campaigns of Mike Bell and Pete Gerken. Not at the same time. Wants to provide fresh, energetic leadership. Toledo maybe not yet ready for that.
Ludeman: Spang’s mentor who got her into politics. Has accomplished little in twenty-two years on Council. Should stop talking about the nineties and finally get it into gear. Doubtful.
Young: Workers’ Comp lawyer. Good soldier with Democratic Party, appointed to seat. Lowest primary finish of any incumbent in decades. Maybe ever.
Sykes: Long-time public servant. School Board, Council, boards of the Metroparks, LMHA, and Children’s Services. Former boxer, accused of assault at a candidate’s night talent show. A unique talent indeed. Adams: Former TPS teacher, administrator, and Board member. This is her first race with an opponent. Most voters couldn’t care less about her inability to work with fellow Council members.
24
Robinson: African American. Woman. Lives in Old North Toledo. Loves. loves, loves Donald Trump and his presidency. Which of these things doesn’t belong? Hint: There are plenty of African American women living in the Old North End. Narvaez: Keeps running for Council, keeps losing. This year will be no different. Phillips: In a normal year, there would have been more than twenty primary candidates. This year there were only thirteen. In a normal year, Phillips would have finished far out of the top twelve. ‘Nuff said. Bye, bye, Clyde.

The meat cure
Tecumseh’s Boulevard Market Crafts Michigan’s First Dry-Cured Fermented Salami By Sonny Forrest
Go Online to Vote Us
Best of Toledo!
2017
Producing cheese and bean-to-bar chocolate in house, Boulevard Market’s curated variety of wine and fine deli meats renders it a gourmand’s oasis in otherwise unassuming Tecumseh, Michigan, this time with new housebrand Black Pig Salami Co. Channeling their drive to improve the fine food collective’s approachability for everyday people, Boulevard Market founders Erika and John Aylward have turned their energies toward creating Michigan’s first dry-cured fermented craft salami.
The cure
Though the two owners thought making this cured meat product would be relatively simple, the process proved a months-long challenge faceted by not only mastering the time-honored drycuring and fermentation process, but also spurring an overhaul of Michigan’s dry-cured meat licensing requirements. Aided by elements of both microbiology and organic chemistry, the new pork salami’s fermentation and dry-curing process learning curve proved steep. While traditional cooking kills harmful pathogens through heattreatment, fermentation relies on benign microorganisms growing in the place of bacteria. “Using a bacterial starter culture, we’re controlling the meat’s natural pathogens by regulating the pH and dryness of the product,” Erika explains. If that explanation sounds a bit scientific, it’s because there’s a science to drycuring based on achieving certain temperatures within strict time limits while documenting each step in a lab journal. Adhering to USDA safety guidelines on acidification and drying, The Aylwards

create conditions in the meat where the germs simply can’t survive. The result awakens a nuanced funk, characteristic of fine salami.

Slices of microbiology
“We learned a lot about microbiology that we never thought we’d need to know,” Aylward said. Vowing to make everything by hand in the Boulevard Market kitchen also presented some unique legislative challenges. The Aylwards contacted the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), only to learn that the agency did not have guidelines in place for in state dry-cured meat producers. After a few months of regulatory back-and-forth, Boulevard Market was granted Michigan’s first drycuring facility license. “Though there are some bigger producers making great stuff, we looked at this as an opportunity to create something local;” Aylward said. “Craft salami made by a person they actually know rather than some anonymous factory situation.” Though future product plans include dry-cured beef, duck, and goat salamis, prosciuttos and capicolas, expect the Aylwards to first master their salami production with Black Pig Salami Co. For Erika and John Aylward, one drycured salami product for now is enough to slice. “Making approachable local products that everyone can get their hands on and appreciate helps us communicate the ripple effect it makes for other farmers, producers, and the larger community,” Aylward said. “It brings everyone up.” The Boulevard Market 102 E.

The Seasonably Scary Woman in Black By Eric Hehl
Autumn, with its cold breeze, colorful leaves and gray skies, evokes an eerie atmosphere, suitably macabre, the promise of the Valentine Theatre’s production of The Woman in Black. Directed by theater veteran Elizabeth Cottle and presented in the intimate space of Studio A, aptly referred to as the black box, the performance invites theater enthusiasts to journey into a Gothic nightmare. At the turn of the 20th century, while attending to the estate of a recently deceased widow, a young solicitor named Kipps experienced something so terrible it haunted him for years. Unable to forget, he decides the only way to absolve himself of this curse is to tell his story. Kipps writes a play and hires an actor to portray his younger self, allowing him to give voice to his harbored horror, a tale so chilling only the theater can do it justice.
This Stage an Island
Written by playwright Susan Hill, adapted to the stage by Stephen Mallatratt, and produced as a movie starring Daniel Radcliffe, The Woman in Black is one of London’s West End Theatre’s longest-running plays, having shown consistently every year since 1989. It’s performed with a very small cast, one of whom plays multiple roles, and a minimalist set, relying on dialogue, tone, and, suspense, to portray both the Victorian setting, and the unsettling nature of the narrative. Returning for her fifth production as director in Studio A, Cottle says the small space is a perfect for this type of show. “I like playing off people’s senses. In an intimate space you have that capacity more so than in a larger auditorium. It’s a small space and we utilize all of it. It’s also technically well-equipped. Creating the mood with the text, lighting, and sound are the big things we’re focusing on,” she says.
At home with the Thayers
Cottle also utilizes those conditions to heighten the ability of her performers, saying, “I tend to pick shows that have smaller casts. I like scripts that are going to challenge my actors.” The Woman in Black is many things, she says. “It’s a thoughtful, and frightening play. There are a lot of hauntingly beautiful elements that are also isolating. More than anything, the story is intended to be terrifying. [Mallatratt] wrote it to be scary.”
Chasing dark shadows
It’s unlikely Ernest Thompson knew what an asteroid-sized impact his small play about a retired New England couple would have upon the lives of millions of people when it was first performed in 1979. But On Golden Pond continues to reign as one of the most perceptive and quietly profound explorations of marriage, cross-generational relationships, and mortality ever produced for the stage or screen (Let’s not forget that the 1981 film adaptation with Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn garnered three Oscars and seven additional nominations). By turns laugh-inducing and tear-jerking, On Golden Pond must be experienced in a live theater at least once and, courtesy of the Tree City Playhouse, you now have your chance. $10/general. $8/students and seniors. 7:30pm, Friday-Saturday. 3pm, Sunday. November 3-5. Church 3TwentyOne, 5845 Centennial Rd., Sylvania. 419-517-0118. sylvaniaarts.org
So you want to be a playwright
Dig out that dusty stage play you wrote back in college or during that one summer when you were feeling especially dramatic— The Toledo Rep wants to see it. “Toledo Voices” is the Rep’s ongoing program aimed at local would-be playwrights who want to see their unproduced works performed via a series of readings at the theater. The Rep is now accepting manuscripts— hard copies only/securely bound/no electronic submissions— for the 2018 season and all readings will be performed on one of three Saturdays: February 24, March 31 or April 28. Send in your work and a cover letter by Friday, December 22 to Toledo Repertoire Theatre, ATTN: Toledo Voices, 16 10th Street, Toledo, Ohio 43604. Winners will be notified by January 8. Exit stage left and get your submission in now! toledorep.org —JW
Patrick Boyer, who plays the role of Kipps, the haunted man attempting to tell his story, says he hopes the audience “should be very unsettled. If they go out with the hair standing up on their necks, then we’ve done our jobs.” Christopher Stack, playing the role of Kipps’ hired actor, states, “I want them to be creeped out. I feel like there’s going to be a really cool sense of dread and energy in the room.” As for Studio A: “The audience gets to see all the facial motions, all the sweat. You feel like you’re really part of the show,” says Stack. $20. Friday-Sunday November 3-5, 10-12, 2017 Valentine Theatre Studio A 410 Adams St., 419-242-ARTS (2787). valentinetheatre.com

Next to the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hahn is arguably the most well-known Buddhist voice in the Western world.

Is The Shining the scariest horror film of all time? Many film purists think so, but horror legend Stephen King, author of the book upon which it is based, hates the film because it deviates too much from the source material. Still, director Stanley Kubrick created a masterpiece of visual terror and storytelling in this first film of the Valentine Theatre’s annual Silver Screen Classics series. Starring Jack Nicholson, as a caretaker watching over a haunted mountain hotel for the winter. As the ghosts show up, the caretaker begins to lose his mind. A full bar and popcorn are available. $5. 7:30pm. Friday, October 27. Valentine Theatre, 410 Adams St., 419-242-2787. valentinetheatre.com
Dead wedding
Picking up where the original Frankenstein left off, the sequel, Bride of Frankenstein, is well regarded and considered an early feminist picture for its inclusion of a major female monster.

Let’s Do the Time Warp Again Howard’s Club H to host Rocky Horror screening on Halloween By Jeff McGinnis
For years, Bowling Green was a Rocky Horror town. Like many college cities, BG hosted a weekly screening of the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, every Saturday night at the Cla-Zel Theater on Main Street. Then, in 2005, the ClaZel was renovated and repurposed into a nightclub, and the days of Rocky were no more. Until now. On Monday, October 30 and Tuesday, October 31, Howard’s Club H in Bowling Green— just a stone’s throw up Main Street from the Cla-Zel— will be screening The Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight, just like the good old days. Fans are encouraged to come out and watch the film on the club’s big screen. “It hasn’t been shown here in town for quite a while. And we just knew that Halloween was coming up, and it might be a good time to pop that in and see what happens,” said Tony Zmarzly, Howard’s co-owner.
Great Scott!
3015 Glendale Ave., Toledo 419.389.1888 30
This will be a full-blown, honest-togod audience participation screening of Rocky, too. At traditional screenings of the film, fans not only attend dressed in costume but also prepared to interact with the film— shouting out responses to dialogue, dancing along with the musical numbers, using props. Rice is thrown during a wedding scene; bread is tossed when a toast is made.
October 25 • November 7
Zmarzly made clear that this kind of participation is not only welcome, but encouraged. “That wouldn’t be a big deal at Howard’s at all. There’s been a lot worse things thrown around this place, I’m sure.” Howard’s, which has been a BG staple for nearly 90 years, has “a rich history of live acts,” Zmarzly said. “In the current location since 1973, there’s been a Howard’s in Bowling Green since 1928. And it’s had a lot of fairly big acts come through over the years.”
A Wild and Untamed Thing
While there are currently no plans to feature a full cast performing on stage— as was the case during the Cla-Zel’s screenings and at many of the still-running Rocky events across the country— Zmarzly has been in contact with individuals who performed in BG during Cla-Zel shows and hopes they will attend the new event. “It depends on how successful it is, really. It’s not cheap, so it’s gotta make sense, from a cost standpoint. I’d be more than willing to have it play there once a month.” 11:55pm. Monday, October 30. Howard’s Club H, 210 N. Main St., Bowling Green. 419-352-3195. howardsbg.com

I like gold!
Jim Ferris, named the second Lucas County poet laureate, believes in the power of poetry. A word that brings mixed reaction and experience, poetry is not all rhyme and meter. Sure, those are elements, but according to the county’s ranking poetry official, “poetry is an experience.” Holding The Ability Center Endowed Chair in Disability Studies, Dr. Ferris is privy to a unique worldview. He’s made a career of advocating for and studying disability: as president of the Society for Disability Studies, starting first-of-their-kind programs at universities, publishing essays and poems. Ferris shares his perspective candidly and with precision.
Poetic demands
“Poetry is a demanding art and is around us all the time,” Ferris said. “People can find poetry off-putting but there are lots of ways in. I think of a poem as an experience. As the poet, I shape experience for myself and for the readers and audience, fully aware that they bring themselves to the experience. That’s part of the richness of it. Our responsibility as artists is to craft the experience, but to recognize that people are going to bring themselves to the experience.” Poetry brings people together. It gives voice to those willing to whittle the words and share. “Poems are not so much created as co-created, they’re made in community with the audience,” Ferris said. “The work of art moment is when reader meets poem, poem meets reader.”
the performance setting. One of the great moves poetry has made in the last 40 years has been a move back to the embodied,” said Ferris, referring to the rise of performance poetry “It’s an important reminder of how poetry works. We could subsist entirely on meals we get through intravenous infusions of glucose and other stuff, but I don’t think we’d enjoy it a hell of a lot. Poetry, to be full, has to be an embodied thing.” Living, breathing, embodied. Poetry is alive in Lucas County and waiting for you to experience it. Jim Ferris has three books out, Slouching Towards Guantanamo (2011, Main Street Rag), Facts of Life (2005, Parallel Press), and The Hospital Poems (2004, Main Street Rag), and three more in the works, including full-length collections of poetry and nonfiction.

TO HEART Putting vibrancy in the voice
murrine, a collection of colors and patterns made in glass cane, fusing the combinations into glass panels. “Much of my art relates back to memory; how memory is changed and altered over time, what details we remember, what we forget, what we embellish,” Welch says. “I am incredibly grateful for this grant. Now I actually have the chance to experiment and work through some of the ideas I’ve had on paper and make them a reality.”
Arts Commission awards grants By Eric Hehl
A city’s art is the pulse of the people; the expression of a community’s hopes, giving voice to the ambitions, fears and dreams of the collective whole. Art can be inspiring, frightening and enlightening. But it cannot be ignored. Since 1959, the Arts Commission has ensured that Toledo’s art scene has had the energy, support, and funding it’s needed. So, what is the Toledo Arts Commission? “We are an organization that connects artists, organizations, businesses, and communities, together, through the advancement of the literal, visual, and performing arts,” says Michelle Carlson, the Commission’s artist and youth services coordinator. “Our aim is to ensure that quality of life in Toledo is amazing through the various programs and services that we offer”.
The Voices: September’s Accelerator Grant Recipients
The Arts Commission offers a large variety of programs for artists of all ages, including instructional classes, partnership programs, mentorships, resources, grants, a merit award and community events. This will be the commission’s fifth group of Accelerator Grant recipients, with 24 artists supported this year. The Arts Commission will present grants to two additional groups this year and is currently in the process of accepting applications. “Selected artists are thorough in their presentation and focus, and concise as to the necessity of the funds, as well as the completeness of their vision,” Carlson says. Interested artists should contact the Commission with questions.
Ken Dushane Ken Dushane, who also goes by “Phybr,” has served with the Arts Commission in the past few years as an instructor, as well as curating events. “I feel very excited to be selected; I think it’s an amazing opportunity for artists like myself to be able to expand what they’re doing,” he said. While working heavily in mural painting, and graphic design, he’s comfortable with a variety of mediums: “I find myself being a jack of all trades.” Dushane, who will be developing his line of men and women’s clothing called “Creeps and Queens,” says, “This is an incredible opportunity for me to see some of my dreams come to fruition.”
Supporting the Visionaries
Noel Welch Inspired by her host family while spending time abroad in Germany, Noel Welch works primarily with glass. “I wasn’t very involved in art or creation, and my host mom was a silk painter. She invited me to work with her. She had a large impact on my current art,” Welch says. Recently she’s been working with
While The Arts Commission is pleased to help Toledo’s artists, the artists themselves take center stage. “We truly see ourselves as connectors — but without the artists, and those who support the creative community, the art wouldn’t exist, and Toledo wouldn’t be as vibrant as it is.” For those interested in applying for the Accelerator Grant, or supporting the Arts Commission, visit Facebook or theartscommission.org.

Malcolm Cunningham Malcolm Cunningham represents a small collective of artists — Krysta Sa, Yusuf Lateef, Joey Baibee and Jay Dickerson — collaborating on the Bancroft St. Project. “I definitely appreciate being chosen as a recipient; it allows me to pursue a project that has been stewing in my, and the collective’s, head for quite some time,” Cunningham says. The Bancroft St. Project will examine the historical factors that have affected the surrounding community. “I’m most interested in how people become the people they are, in the communities they are in, how those communities become what they are, and how existing in a space, at a time, with others, affirms identity.”

TOLEDO ACCORDING TO... Pam Weirauch (Why Rock)
If I knew I could get away with it, I would throw a pop up dance party to happen at 2am on the Glass City Skyway/ Veterans Memorial Bridge.
Name: Pam Weirauch Years lived in Toledo: 40 Occupation: Owner of Pam’s Corner, Ltd. for 15 years
My story, in (about) one sentence: I keeps things simple, I say what I mean, I give with a joyful heart. Integrity and compassion mean a lot to me.
The best view in Toledo is the Walbridge Park walk/bike trail along the river at sunrise.
1
When I’m away from Toledo, I can’t wait to get back to the Ann Manor Whine Wednesday gathering. A nice, diverse group of people with a variety of interests.
2
The best meal I had in Toledo was the grilled tuna steak with shiitake and mushroom brandy sauce from Restaurant Chiba.
1
2
My favorite pieces of local art/architecture are the Toledo Museum of Art, the downtown library and the Valentine Theatre.
When I’m craving pizza, I go to J & G’s or the Village Idiot.
The artists and musicians I love are: Ramona Collins, Kelly Broadway, Kim Buehler, Lori Le Fevre, TJO, Quartet Bernadette, Chefs of Dixieland, Jeff Stewart, Meredith Wenzel.
The street I drive on/walk on most often is Collingwood Blvd. The best time I ever had in Toledo was a fews years back at a Fashionably Late party at Centennial Terrace. The music, my companion, the weather, the band, that night had it all. It was magical and I danced the most I have ever danced.
www.toledocitypaper.com

The most underrated thing in Toledo is the compassionate nature of our residents.
I’m at my most calm in Toledo when I’m with people I love and when I am outside or near water.
If I could change one thing about Toledo: I would get Samantha from Bewitched to repair our roads. All at once. No more orange cones for months on end.
The Toledo business you’ll most likely find me at is Pam’s Corner, Ltd.
To find inspiration, I: go to Wildwood, the library, a cooking class or have a heart to heart with my friend Natalie. I always brag about our: metroparks and the TMA. The Toledoans I most admire are: Carol Dunn, Paula Fall, Stacy Jurich, Paula Ross, Jim Moeller. Wow—there are so many others, but that is a great start.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Before Simon & Garfunkel released the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sound of Silenceâ&#x20AC;? in October 1964. Discouraged by the modest amount of airplay, the duo stopped working together. Then, Bob Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producer Tom Wilson got permission to remix the song and when the tune was re-released in September 1965, it became a huge hit. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I suspect youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now at a point comparable to the time just before Tom Wilson discovered the potential of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sounds of Silence.â&#x20AC;?

The Bash
STYLE SENSE
By Megan Yasu Davis
Imagination Station turned partying into a science during their 7th annual Bash.
Kathy Poddany with Robbie Weinberg. Brinnie and Charles Foulkes.
Kent Murnen and Lashana Jefferson.
University of Toledo Homecoming Parade
Charlotte Boyd and her mom June.
The Old Orchard neighborhood welcomed floats, dignitaries, alumni, honorees, and more during the traditional parade.
You wear a lot of black, white and gray. Is that your signature? Black, white and gray
are absolutely my staples. I can pair those basics with really fun pieces.
What local stores do you frequent for clothes and accessories? I love Uniqlo and
Elizabeth Pearson, Jamie Pearson, Wendy Phillips, and Rebecca Pearson.
Jordan Gannon and Jangus Whither.
H&M. I recently discovered House of Dow in Uptown, and I love all the vintage pieces.
Encore! The Valentine Theatre Story Documentary sponsors and friends of The Valentine were invited to attend the premiere party for the newest Toledo Story produced by WGTE-TV30.
Shannon and Kevin Aschemeier.
What products do you use to keep your skin so flawless? I don’t do much with my
skin except drinking plenty of water and using Tatcha’s The Balanced Water Cream.
Aryanna Foster By Megan Yasu Davis Like the perfect recipe, success is based on the richness of the ingredients. Aryanna Foster knows her way around the kitchen and her closet. This aspiring chef can be found on Instagram @myndfuneral, sharing her art and photography in ways that speak to her approach to fashion. Using black and white as a blank canvas, she integrates pops of color while her makeup and accessories are like a garnish on a finished dish.
How would you describe your personal style? A little bit of everything. I can be very laid back casual wearing basics, while using a nice accessory piece to pull it together.
What’s the inspiration for your IG name?
Are you a makeup artist or photographer?
I wouldn’t consider myself a professional photographer although I love taking pictures. I got into film cameras recently, which has been fun. I’m not a makeup artist; I’ve been doing this for so long, it just comes naturally.
If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be and why? I would love my
superpower to be flying. No car. No walking. It would be so cool!
What is your go to date night look? For
date night, I’d definitely wear a black dress or jumpsuit with a sleek ponytail and red lipstick.
What is one accessory you can’t leave home without? My little gold bee necklace.
One of my favorite bands, Cloakroom. They deleted their Insta for a little while so I took the handle.
