In light of the algae bloom crisis last summer, keeping an eye on water purity has become an increasingly important subject. Ann Keefe, the Lake Erie conservation coordinator for the nonprofit Sierra Club, is recruiting and training residents on how to notice and report pollution in local water sources. By spreading the mission of awareness and health, Keefe hopes to minimize the effects of pollution in the area.

Blazing through Ohio

A Buckeye Trail veteran gets us in the loop by Alison Wood-Osmun Blue Path

The Buckeye Trail is a statewide, interconnected series of trails winding through forty Ohio counties. Highlighted by bright blue markers, called blazes, the path takes you on a unique hiking adventure through bustling cities, quaint towns steeped in history, and rural areas where the open land expands your perspective. It leads you deep within secluded forests, wrapping you in the sounds of nature, as you keep pace alongside the currents of glistening streams and lakes. Jim Gilkey, a Columbus, OH native and a member of the Buckeye Trail Association, has hiked all 1400 miles of the BT and shared some of his insights and experiences. TCP: Why do you hike and why hike this trail? Jim Gilkey: I’ve always been curious about my native state of Ohio; my parents took us on Sunday drives to explore the area.

Hiking allows you to interact with and discover the world around you and the Buckeye Trail allows you to explore our beautiful state and its history. So the trail loops through the entire state? Yes, it actually spans all four corners and offers hiking terrain variety, from flat land to rolling spans to hilly wildness and paved roads. Do you have any favorite trail sections? I enjoy the Wilderness Loop in the Wayne National Forest (Marietta, OH) with its rugged, hilly areas and amazing rock formations. Historic Zoar, OH (founded in 1817 by German Separatists) is very

TO THE POINT

Using Acupuncture To Overcome Chronic Pain A botched Achilles tendon repair in 1998 left a local man, Dale Finkle, with chronic pain and circulation problems. Coupled with Morton’s Neuroma, 67-year old Finkle has spent many years in pain, without significant relief. After undergoing traditional medical treatments suggested by several doctors, including two podiatrists, Finkle knew he needed to try something new. After just a few visits to Tamara Willingham, Finkle finally felt the relief he had been needing for years. “Her acupuncture skills, coupled with her knowledge and use of traditional Chinese herbs, have worked wonders. Most of the discomfort in my feet is gone. My vitality and energy levels have increased, and walking has once again become enjoyable. I urge anyone seeking a helpful alternative or supplement to today’s modern medical practices to schedule a consultation with Tamara. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. I cannot praise her enough.”

The Toledo police Department’s controversial, early June announcement has sparked discussion and debate.

Somebody’s watching me

Local citizen-led groups keeping an eye on body cameras by Tom Konecny Regardless of one’s perspective on the new body cameras adopted by the Toledo Police Department (TPD) in early June, the move was certainly a progressive one. After all, Columbus, the nation’s 15th largest city and our state capital, doesn’t even employ them yet. Body cameras offer a certain level of transparency between officers and civilians, with the premise that some video is better than none. So as many parts of the nation deal with public tension between police and citizens, some local groups have taken an advanced approach to monitoring and even strengthening that relationship.

Accountability in action

TPD has already outfitted 43 officers with body cameras— at a cost of $500 a piece— with plans to provide cameras for all officers by next year, according to Stacy Weber, Public Information Officer for the City of Toledo. Weber adds that Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson, in full support of body cameras, is concerned with both transparency and safety of the police force. Weber said that when officers return the body cameras at the end of their shifts, the video is downloaded to a server where the recordings are protected via encryption. “It really puts people on their best behavior,” Weber said. “It helps us be more responsive.”

Neighborhood watch

NFiveOWatch.com, formed earlier this year by South Toledo residents concerned with national incidents, is bringing the focus to day-to-day interactions right here, right now. The website allows users to submit reports of interactions they’ve had with police officers, with particular emphasis on those with racial minorities. “The day-to-day harassment of people of color in Toledo really undermines that relationship between police and community,” said Peter Meinecke, co-founder. “And we wanted them to be able to speak out, which is how the website came about.” Through a current GoFundMe campaign, FiveOWatch will soon be designed

July 15 • July 28

to work on smart phones. Users can then instantly post officer interaction and the site will track which geographic areas in our community generate the most complaints. Meinecke contends that will build a case for accountability on both sides. Meinecke works full-time for the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC), based in Toledo, and through a FLOCbased youth program, he uncovered systemic issues which he believes were preventing the program’s clients from being successful. “Police harassment came up [in conversations with clients], or being abused by the court system, and getting little or no representation,” Meinecke said. “The system works against them in many ways and it all starts with being stopped on the streets. We’re not trying to suggest that every police officer out there is profiling.” Meinecke said Toledo Police Chief George Kral— promoted to that position last January— has worked with FiveOWatch and has been “very responsive to everything we’re doing.” The group remains encouraged by the work Kral has done during his short time in the position, including the appointment of a TPD liaison to attend meetings with the group to enhance understanding and cooperation.

Another approach

Also encouraging accountability, Dialogue to Change Toledo was formed in 2013 by groups of citizens who came together to promote conversations about race and to connect different cultures and backgrounds. Over 200 citizens have participated in six-week programs which follow a curriculum and promote an actionbased follow-up. Karen Shepler, a retired pastor who previously served at Monroe Street United Methodist Church, serves as Dialogue’s co-chair and appreciates what the body cameras offer. “I think it’s a great thing, and I think it’s about time with the climate of this country now,” Shepler said. While Meinecke believes the cameras are a step in the right direction. “It’s really about accountability and giving a voice to the community members who have been mistreated,” said Meinecke.

Dr. Gaber becomes university’s 17th president

The time is Transfer and complete your bachelor’s degree at The University of Toledo.

When Dr. Sharon L. Gaber set foot on The University of Toledo campus Wednesday, July 1, she did so for the ﬁrst time as UT’s president. Selected in March by UT’s Board of Trustees, July 1 marked the end of a 10month journey that took Gaber from her post as provost at the University of Arkansas to the 17th president and ﬁrst woman to lead UT in its 143-year history. “It represents the end of a transition process for me, but it’s a beginning for this institution,” Gaber said. “I’ll be working with students and employees, elected and community leaders, and alumni and friends to elevate The University of Toledo on a national stage. Together, we will demonstrate and create the excellence our students and this community need and expect from us.” “I know I speak for the entire board when I say how excited we are for the leadership that President Gaber will provide The University of Toledo,” said Sharon Speyer, chair of the UT Board of Trustees. “She brings with her an impressive track record of accomplishment and a clear vision of excellence for UT’s future.” At UT, Gaber will focus on elevating one of the country’s most comprehensive institutions of higher education through increases in externally funded research, student enrollment and graduation rates, philanthropic support, and the recruitment of leading academic and clinical faculty. The new president also will be active on Twitter. Follow and connect with Gaber using the handle @UTPresident.

The Relevant University highlights the role of the Rocket Nation in our community and beyond.

www.toledocitypaper.com

The University of Toledo is launching a production operation that will provide signiﬁcant exposure and learning opportunities for UT students. The initiative will feature a minimum of 35 Rocket athletic events that will be carried live on ESPN3, ESPN’s live multi-screen sports network. UT’s broadcast productions will supplement the numerous football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball games already being produced and carried on ESPN and other national and regional networks. The University will produce home games in men’s basketball, women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, baseball and other sports. The multi-camera high-deﬁnition game productions will feature full ESPNbranded graphics, replay and twoperson commentator crews. “We are very excited about this great opportunity to bring so many Rocket athletic events to a national audience on ESPN3,” said UT Vice President and Athletic Director Mike O’Brien. “Not only is this an opportunity to create more exposure for our athletic teams, it will also be a great recruiting tool for our athletic programs and for our University in general.”

July 15 • July 28

The productions will be operated primarily by UT students who are taking courses in television production in the Department of Communication. Staff positions have been added in the Department of Communication to assist with the productions and manage the student staff. “The opportunity for UT communication students to work on programming that will appear nationally on ESPN3 offers them realworld experience, which is critical to building a sustainable career,” said Debra Davis, dean of the College of Communication and the Arts. “When learning through doing, learning experientially, the students build an understanding of how to respond to crises or unexpected news and the follow-up action needed to complete the task.” In addition to live event production, Toledo students will produce pregame, halftime and postgame content, feature pieces, in-game and postgame highlight packages, interviews and coaches shows. These events will be available to more than 99 million households and by an additional 21 million U.S.-based college students and military personnel.

Favorite movie: I don’t have a single favorite movie, but if anything, I’d pick Monty Python and the Holy Grail for sentimental reasons.

Dream vacation: I’d love to travel through Europe and experience all the history and culture. Stay in or go out?

Both!? I think there’s a time and place for both options. Sometimes, I wanna cuddle with a bottle of wine and a movie. But others, I want to get dressed up, go to dinner and hit the town. Toledo is a amazing place that features a lot of events. If you dig hard enough you can find a lot of fun things to do. Just enjoy life and have fun.

Were you a bad kid?

I’m sure I was. I tested limits, broke rules and pushed the envelope. I was voted most likely to rule the world and most likely to end up on America’s most wanted in high school (which is kind of funny now, considering my career.)

Most surprising fact about you?

I’m pretty handy, I’m a girl who can work on a car or a house and I actually know what I’m doing.

What is the most important lesson you’ve learned?

That things can happen and everything can change in the blink of an eye. So, I’ve learned to enjoy life, love hard and to make the most out of everything. There’s really no legitimate reason not to.

William Gedeon of Toledo Occupation: Massage Therapist & Physical Therapist Assistant Hobbies: Weight lifting, cooking, home remodeling. One word to describe yourself: Easy-going. Favorite band/music: Anything rock and roll. Favorite movie: Edward Scissorhands. Dream vacation: The Caribbean Islands. What kind of a superpower would your ex say you have?

That I am a human lie detector.

What is your ex’s biggest gripe about you?

Does NOT watch hours of television everyday. Needs more TV watching time.

Most surprising fact about you?

How opposite certain parts of my life are. Very professional with my patients, somewhat goofy when I am not at work.

What is the most important lesson you’ve learned? Be prepared.

Zahra Aprili Collins of Toledo Occupation: “Consigliere” - (an advisor). Hobbies: Reading, cooking. One word to describe yourself: Quirky. Favorite band/music: Don’t have one, I like lots of different music. Favorite movie: Dirty Dancing. Dream vacation: To spend an entire month on a remote island with modern amenities. What would you do with $100, a date and a Saturday night in Toledo? Go shopping and cook a great meal.

What kind of a superpower would your ex say you have? Power of persuasion; gift of gab, total spin doctor.

Have you had your wild phase yet? Yes. Came, gone, trying to forget.

Most surprising fact about you?

My age. People don’t believe how old I am.

What is the most important lesson you’ve learned?

Everything happens for a reason. It may take a few months/years, but it always comes full circle.

Jordan Ulmer of Rossford Occupation: Account Manager – Outside Sales Hobbies: Golf, nightlife, inline skating, archery, gaming, snowboarding.

One word to describe yourself: Daft. Favorite band/music: Currently, Ben Pearce. Favorite movie: The Wolf of Wall Street. Dream vacation: Fiji Islands. What kind of a superpower would your ex say you have?

She always said I remind her of “The Thing”. I guess it’s because of my super strength and superior rock-like quality.

Furthest you’ve gone in the name of love?

I bought a 12k engagement ring. Yes, I was engaged.

Most surprising fact about you?

At one point I was considered to be one of the top 20 aggressive inline skaters in the world.

What is the most important lesson you’ve learned?

Good opportunities don’t present themselves often, take advantage of them, or lose them forever.

Jordan Brown of Sylvania Occupation: Bartender at Mulvaney’s Bunker and student

Hobbies: Soccer, writing, extreme use of sarcasm and laying in hammocks. One word to describe yourself: Goofy. Favorite band/music: Alternative rock or Phil Collins. Favorite movie: The Shawshank Redemption. Dream vacation: Fiji. What kind of a superpower would your ex say you have?

The ability to shoot daggers out of my eyes.

What’s the first thing you’re attracted to?

It’s a toss-up; I think that personality, obviously, is most important. If a guy can’t handle my dry sense of humor, we will not mesh well. Generally, I’m first attracted to a man’s eyes though; blue eyes get me every time. However, I also really appreciate someone who has great manners; it is one of the first things I always notice about people.

Have you had your wild phase yet?

I prefer to think that all of life should be wild and spontaneous, and not just a phase. Staying wild keeps life interesting.

Who is your role model/who had the biggest influence on your life? Phil Collins, hands down.

6pm Thursday, July 23 Thank You To Our Sponsors BROADWAY

Occupation: Personal Assistant & Screenwriter Hobbies: Yoga, dancing, writing film reviews. One word to describe yourself: Kind. Favorite band/music: Glass Animals. Favorite movie: Scream & Death Proof. Dream vacation: Going to the beautiful country of Brazil and being one with the locals. I see myself dancing, eating and drinking on the beautiful beaches.

What’s the first thing you’re attracted to?

The first thing I’m attracted to is a man’s presence, his confidence. Also if he’s wearing sandals, I’d take a gander at his feet to see if they’re nice or not. What can I say, I like feet.

Who is your role model/who had the biggest influence on your life?

My role model is everyone [that] I come across. I learn from everyone that’s in my life. I have more than one teacher.

What do you enjoy doing but are terrible at? Being responsible. Worst thing that has made the best difference?

Earlier this year, I came out to my mother and my family. Before I had the courage to do so, I thought coming out to them was the worst thing I could do to [my] family. I thought I’d be judged and ridiculed... that was not the case. After telling them, it freed me. My family has given me so much support and love, and what makes it ten times better is the fact that gay marriage was legalized across the U.S. within the same year of my coming out!

Marissa AlleN of Perrysburg Occupation: Retail Supervisor at Serenity Health & Wellness Center and dog mom Hobbies: Netflix, antique restoration, dancing like my mother, craft beers and drinking on patios.

One word to describe yourself: Sassy. Favorite band/music: Men at Work.

Favorite movie: Would you ask someone who their favorite kid is? Dream vacation: A vacation. Period. What would you do with $100, a date and a Saturday night in Toledo? My gut response to this question is that, I’m pretty sure $100 would cover a year’s [worth of a] subscription to Netflix… which is probably why I’m still single. As far as the date, I require all my first dates to be at Swig. I figure if watching me consume beer and hot dogs is going to be a deal breaker, its probably best we find that out up front.

Were you a bad kid? Absolute terrorist. I have no idea how my parents survived

my teen years without developing a serious drinking problem.

What are you determined to have in your life? Nutella. Who is your role model/who had the biggest influence on your life?

My dad. He taught me what sarcasm was at a very young age and it’s been all downhill from there. If I can find a guy even half as smart and funny as him, I think I’ll be set for life.

Peej (PJ) Phillips of Maumee Occupation: Music Video Director/Producer, Entrepreneur, and owner of Parker Coffee Co. Hobbies: Traveling, camping, going to concerts, relaxing with family and going out with friends.

One word to describe yourself: Charming. Favorite band/music: Right now RAC & The Wombats have been on repeat. Favorite movie: The Social Network, screenplay by Aaron Sorkin. Dream vacation: Relaxing in Northern Michigan & unplugging. What would you do with $100, a date and a Saturday night in Toledo? Would definitely get dinner and drinks at one of Toledo’s finest establishments.

What kind of a superpower would your ex say you have? The ability to reason.

What’s the first thing you’re attracted to? When she know’s what she wants. Were you a bad kid? Define bad? www.toledocitypaper.com

Stay in or go out?

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attracted to?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m attracted to someone with a passion, someone who is independent and has a solid job, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live at home, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink too much, has style.

Most spontaneous thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done?

I got a random tattoo for $50. The game goes as follows: Pick out a picture from a box, and whatever you pull out you get tattooed.

What is the most important lesson youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned?

To not rush into a relationship, to really take your time and get to know the person on all levels before committingâ&#x20AC;Ś jumping [in] too quickly gets you in trouble.

Painting flowers

Death row inmates bring beauty back to a scarred world by Athena Cocoves

William (Bylle) Payton’s “Floers” show an abstract bouquet of both real and imagined flowers done in watercolor. The unofficial patron saint of creative bravery, despite loneliness and loss, Frida Kahlo, once said “I paint flowers so they will not die.” Kahlo contracted polio at age six and suffered major injuries in a bus accident at 17, spending much of the rest of her life spent in hospitals. The artist knew something about using art as a force of creation; she painted the ideal world to preserve beauty and overcome the walls the walls which restrained her. The exhibition in the Perrysburg Municipal Building, The Art of Conviction, channels Kahlo’s belief in the positive power of creative construction. While flowers and careful, detailed landscapes populate the exhibition, the tone is different. Unlike Kahlo’s attempt to preserve natural beauty, the artists in this exhibition are trying to better the world they once hurt.

Finding the value

Works of over 20 death row inmates are currently on display as an exhibition curated by Perrysburg-based art group, The Main Art-ery, in affiliation with the Compassion group, a nonprofit developed by death row inmates in 2001. The works were framed courtesy of an anonymous, local donor. The Art of Conviction opened July 1, not as a venue for death row inmates to promote their art or to achieve fame, fortune or notoriety, but rather as ground for Compassion’s flower to bloom: a nonprofit fund, providing college scholarships to the family members of murder victims.

July 15 • July 28

Roderick Orne’s “Lunch For Two” shows off precise, tight work, likely done in colored pencil. All pieces are for sale, with 100% of the proceeds contributed to Compassion’s scholarship fund. Each piece, from each inmate's own inspiration, is unprompted by instructions or material requirements. After creating their works, the pieces are mailed by the prisoners to the Compassion group, coordinated by Fred Moor of Toledo’s St. Rose Parish. “Compassion really regards this effort with death row prisoners as a way to help them live connected and fruitful lives while they are in prison,” said Moor. “That’s what they work on in a variety of different ways, the artwork being one of them.”

Additional compassion

Compassion produces a monthly newsletter that “is used as a way of helping those in prison to work a more compassionate and giving life,” said Moor. Compassion is also working to publish their second book directed towards youth at juvenile detention centers, written by death row inmates, who use themselves as an example of the importance of making good choices. “It is important for people to understand that these are human beings and, despite being convicted of a horrible deed, they are not the sum of the worst thing they have done in their life,” said Moor. “I feel that there is a great capability of human potential and for people to change and do good in their lives, no matter what the situation.” Through August 15. 8am-4:30pm Monday-Friday, 8am-6:30pm Tuesday.

An unlikely pair, an American Idol finalist and a pianist, entertain Toledo weekly.

Dynamic Duo

Local Musicians Candice Coleman and Chris Brown by Kayla Williams Candice Coleman and Chris Brown almost didn’t become a performance duo. “A client of mine asked if I would mind playing a party with a singer he knew. I didn’t know who she was. She came over to rehearse and she liked my piano and I liked her singing,” Chris Brown said. “Then the guy canceled the event, so we didn’t end up doing it.” Later, Brown performed with a rotation of singers for weekly gigs around town, and Candice Coleman performed as part of that rotation. Her powerful voice stood out. “Patrons, bar owners and staff kept asking, ‘Hey, when is that girl [Coleman] coming back?’” Brown recalled. “I asked her if she wanted to make this a standing gig and she said, ‘Sure.’ We’ve been performing together ever since.” Coleman, a top 32 finalist on American Idol Season 2, vocalist and guitarist, and Brown, a pianist and vocalist, both have musical histories rooted in childhood. Coleman trained in musical theatre as child, and Brown grew up playing piano, both performing in the area from teenage years into adulthood. They’ve played regularly in the surrounding area since forming 4 years ago.

July 15 • July 28

A varied approach

Coleman and Brown also play at wedding ceremonies, receptions, private parties, and corporate events, sometimes hiring other musicians to accompany them, including big bands with horn sections, creating a “completely customizable band”. “It’s interchangeable, so it’s always a new experience. You have different groups of people coming together to perform. It’s fun,” Coleman stated. The duo incorporates a diverse approach to the genres of songs they perform. They play blues, jazz, pop, rock, country, traditional standards, and even songs from film scores. “There’s not much we don’t do,” Brown said. Coleman shares an evolving roster of songs with Brown. “We both love different kinds of music which can appeal to all different ages of people.” Candice Coleman and Chris Brown live, every Tuesday, 6-9pm at Ciao!, 6064 Monroe St., Sylvania. 419-882-2334 and every Thursday 6-9pm, Friday & Saturday 6-10pm at The Real Seafood Company, 22 Main St. 419-697-4400.

PLAY BOOK Element 112

The sum of all its parts by Dorian Slaybod

Chef Nixon

Chris Nixon grew up in Sylvania, attended St. John’s, and then left Toledo to play lacrosse and study food plating at the College of Wooster, before enrolling in the

www.toledocitypaper.com

French Culinary Institute in New York City. After just 2 months, he was tapped to work for Chef Tom Colicchio, famous for his TV appearances on Top Chef and for his James Beard Award-winning restaurants like Craft, where Nixon worked for over a year and a half. Nixon left New York for a chef job in Coldwater, Michigan, a sleepy town of less than 11,000 people. After a couple of diners were so impressed by Nixon’s food that they offered to back him financially if he wanted to open a restaurant in his home town, Nixon moved back and opened Element 112 in the fall of 2012. During the restaurant’s construction, Nixon took spent a month working at Noma, in Denmark, named the “World’s Best Restaurant” 4 out of the past 6 years by Restaurant magazine. He left Noma understanding that “top restaurants care about everything,” said Nixon.

A Dining Experience

Nixon describes Element 112 as a “very modern American restaurant.” The name is a reference to the periodic table, where the 112th element, Copernicum, is abbreviated with the Chef ’s initials, “CN.” The name and the restaurant are a representation of Nixon’s personality.

Chef Nixon cares more about ingredients than style. “There are at least two perfect items on each plate,” said Nixon, referring equally to the quality of the raw ingredients as well as their preparation. Nixon is ethically scrupulous about what he puts on his plates. Many of the restaurant’s herbs are grown behind the building, where they compost their own fertilizer. “Our goal is we throw away almost nothing,” said Nixon. Each farm is visited to make sure that vegetables are grown with the environment in mind, and animals are given good care. All of their beef comes from a group of Pennsylvania-based farms called Happy Valley Meat, where no cow is ever given a steroid. Each batch of steaks arrives with the name of the cow who provided them. Chef Nixon served me two roasted diver scallops from Portland, Maine, seared with an orange glaze, served hot with local broccoli and house-puffed rice. I also tried a roasted beet salad with candied cashews, goat cheese mousse, and pickled celery leaves. Also on the menu that night were the gnocchi, as soft as a new pillow, served with béchamel sauce, bread crumbs, and parmesan from Italy. For dessert, the pastry chef, Elizabeth Gentry, who has worked at Michelin-starred restaurants in New York, Chicago made

July 15 • July 28

In less than 3 years at Element 112, Chef Nixon has already created and served over 1,000 different dishes celery sorbet with peanut almond cake and compressed apples, and a chocolate mousse cake with sour cherries, sea salt ice cream and candied cocoa nibs. Each dish that Chef Nixon creates is beautiful and filled with bright colors and mind-melting combinations of texture and flavor. And like a chemical composition composed of elements from the periodic table, Chef Nixon told me that a great restaurant, “is a sum of all its parts.” Element 112, 5737 Main St., Sylvania. 419-517-1104. element112restaurant.com Dorian Slaybod is an attorney happily living in Toledo. eet us @TCPaper Got a comment?

Close to a dozen staff whisked in, out and around the kitchen in downtown Sylvania’s acclaimed restaurant, Element 112. A pristine room of stainless steel surfaces and controlled temperature, the cooks looked up. It was a Friday night, and the staff was in the midst of preparing hundreds of plates. Each nightly-changing tasting menu includes, for each diner, 10 surprise dishes made moments before they hit the table. And in a restaurant that sits 50 to 60 people, Element has a kitchen that does not stop moving until the last diner receives her last 3 desserts. Two young men shucked oysters. Another finished 2 straight hours of chopping fresh beets. The chef de cuisine cut pork belly into equal blocks and remade an aioli, as it did not meld the first time. Two sommeliers strolled back and forth from the dining room, grabbing vintage wines from the cellar. In the center of it all was Executive Chef, Chris Nixon, who announced orders, tasted sauces, demonstrated techniques, fixed plate design, and reviewed every dish that left the kitchen.

STYLE SENSE

Polish Festival

by Beth Powder

Adrienne Armstrong Art Teacher

Adrienne is a local art teacher with a penchant for collecting antiques. She loves painting miniature Asian-inspired pen and ink drawings and hosts biannual clothing swaps for fellow clothing hoarders like herself. The twenty-year vegan discusses how her influences range from her punk rock past to Betty Draper.

During the weekend of July 8-10, over 40,000 pierogies, a ton of kielbasa, and 300 kegs of beer kept the guests happy and full during the 31st annual Lagrange Street Polish Festival.

What are some of your early influences?

Baxter Chambers smiles with the 2015 Polka Queen, Alyson Krajewski.

Abby, Austin and Olivia Brown with Jon Joldrichsen rest between pierogies and kielbasa.

I was hanging out at Frisch’s and met all these fun people who are [now] my current friends. I didn’t just want to be the goth girl with a long black dress. I wanted to give it style. I would wear fun little skirts and things like that… I started getting into punk rock scene. That was fun, that was a different style… as I’ve gotten a little older I’ve given it more of a grown up feel.

I feel like my style right now is a retro-ey, punky, goth mash-up of me. Where do find your clothes? I do clothing swaps twice a year… they are kind of an art. I’ll [also] go to thrift shops. Once in a while I’ll go somewhere nice, like I had a little stint with Betsey Johnson. [In my closet] I’ll have a Betsey Johnson dress next to a $7.99 thrift store find, next to a big pink 50s dress.

As the sun sets, Bill and Rhonda Kujawa take in the sounds of the Madison Avenue Band.

How do you accessorize?

Lighthouse festival

David Dunn, Matt Lorensen and Sarah Dunn feel the summer breeze by the water.

The marina was celebrated during the 12th Annual Toledo Lighthouse Waterfront Festival on July 11 & 12. Arts, crafts, sand sculptures, live music, carnival food, and more made waves with the visitors at Maumee Bay State Park.

I dabble in purses. There’s always the right purse to go with every outfit. My favorite is a little oriental box. I really like antique purses because I feel like they go with any outfit.

What else inspires you?

Sometimes it’ll be a song. I look to movies and TV a lot, too. Right now, I’m in a big Mad Men phase, so I’ve been really into Betty Draper.

If your house caught on fire what would you grab?

I would grab my gingham dress, I wore it to a baseball game last night. It always makes me feel pretty. [I’d also grab the] plaid kilt I’ve had since I was 16. Kilts will always make you look amazing. [As well as] the party dress [I have] from the 50s that’s pink and mesh— It’s for special occasions.

Chicks for Charity The philanthropic women and girls of Chicks for Charity hosted the Chicks Mix ‘15 on July 7, where guests mingled, drank, and fundraised for their 2015-16 chosen organization, Mom’s House, an organization for young parents and their children.

Louise Kahle and Susie VanPelt enjoy a sweet treat and good company.

Dacorsha Sutton, Dayvon Zielinski and Jasmine Mims are happy to celebrate.

April Gladieux, Ann Warnes and Michelle McCaullia are all smiles as they keep dry under the tent.
