F

or more than 15 years, Stephen Machcinski fought fires, responded to medical calls and saved lives in Toledo. Until Jan. 26, 2014, only his friends and family knew his name.

One of his last calls was to the North Toledo home of Tina Petersen, who had a seizure in January 2014. A few days later, Petersen recognized the Toledo Fire & Rescue Department EMTs who had responded — Machcinski and fellow Toledo firefighter James Dickman — in a news story about a fatal fire. She attended the June rededication of Fire Station No. 3 to introduce herself to the Machcinski and Dickman families and thank them in person.

There are no doubt countless Tina Petersens in Toledo — not to mention in Perkins TownSarah Ottney ship, where Dickman served for 10 years before joining Toledo’s department only months before he died — who were served or even saved by Machcinski or Dickman and will never realize it was them.

It’s only when tragedy strikes that most of us actually learn the names and stories of those who protect us day and night.

Years ago I noticed a friend’s mom would bow her head every time a police vehicle, ambulance or fire truck blared past, saying a little prayer for the first responders as well as whomever they were rushing to help. I got into the habit myself and still think about her every time I hear a siren.

Service calls, of course, don’t stop for heartache. A fire broke out in the city during last year’s Last Alarm ceremony and crews responded. Another crew left this year’s anniversary memorial service at the Historic Church of St. Patrick to respond to a medical call. While talking to a firefighter for a story earlier this year, I heard tones go off at the station on the other end of the phone. He calmly continued the conversation even as he slid down the pole, grabbed his gear and jumped on a truck. Even as I write this, I hear sirens outside, heading somewhere. All in a day’s work.

Earlier this summer, I had the privilege of talking to Toledo Police Deputy Chief Don Kenney Jr. for a story I was writing about multigenerational first responders. He’s been on the job more than 30 years and his father, Don Kenney Sr., was a Toledo firefighter. Kenney Jr.’s son and daughter are both Toledo police officers and his daughter-in-law is a Toledo Police detective.

“To this day, he is still out going to calls with patrolmen and coming in on Friday nights and holidays because his patrolmen have to,” daughter Pvt. Kellie Kenney told me. “This past Thanksgiving, he finished eating and got up to put on his uniform. I asked what he was doing and he said, ‘I’m going to spend Thanksgiving on the street.’ And he did.”

That’s the dedication of the first responders who serve this city.

It’s clear first responders, firefighters in particular, are a tight-knit family that takes care of its own. Hundreds filled St. Pat’s for a private memorial ceremony on the one-year anniversary of the fatal fire.

Last January, Toledo Fire Chief Luis Santiago remarked that TFD and the extended firefighting community would always be there for the friends and families of their fallen, including the proverbial “Monday morning” when media and others have moved on to the next big story.

This past Monday morning proved how true that was. O Sarah Ottney is Editor in Chief of Toledo Free Press.

Girl Scouts more than cookie sales

his year, I will be entering my 13th year in Girl Scouts. Now, as a junior in high school, I often get quizzical looks and mountains of questions like, “You’re still in Girl Scouts?” or, “What do you guys even do?” Well, the answer is simple for me.

Girl Scouting opens so many doors for girls. Even when we’re really young, Girl Scouts learn how to safely use tools, cook for ourselves and become strong leaders. One of my earliest memories is collecting sticks with my friends at our first campout so we could build our own fire and make s’mores. Being with a group of supportive friends is so important at a young age. We can laugh together, play together and tell each other secrets. Simple things like going for a short hike or telling stories around a fire might seem small, but they can seem like the world to little girls.

Pilar ATHAIDE-VICTOR The best part about it is that we grew up together. I can shuffle through my summer camp photos, picking out the chunky eyeglass frames, the braced smiles and the turned-backward-baseballcap phases of all of my friends until I reach the photo of the loving, confident counselors-in-training that I know today. A short week at camp could change a little girl’s life. It definitely made a difference in mine.

Girl Scouts has helped me and so many other girls in so many ways. I can easily say that I consider my Girl Scout sisters to be my closest friends. I have an insanely active troop, in addition to the lovely ladies I work with, and I am so grateful for them.

We’ve been everywhere from Put-inBay to Salt Lake City to Europe. A few summers ago, I went backpacking with a few friends of mine in the Porcupine Mountains in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. I have to admit, we were all a little nervous, considering none of us had backpacked for more n PILAR ATHAIDE-VICTOR, BACK LEFT, AND SOME OF than one night. In the HER GIRL SCOUT FRIENDS. end, it was incredible.

We learned to carry all of our supplies on our backs and work with one another to get from one camp to the next. It was hard climbing, but the view from the top was simply breathtaking.

Just this summer, we took an educational tour of London, Paris and most of Italy. While we knew this trip would be expensive, that didn’t stop us. We started planning when most of us were in eighth grade. Every year, we relentlessly sold cookies, held car washes, organized babysitting events and did anything else we could to help us raise enough money. Traveling with my troop was such an incredible experience. We met guides and scouts from around the world. It was so cool to meet and talk with them. It was almost strange; since we all were scouts, we shared a bond that was beyond language.

We give back to the community, too. A few years ago, my troop collected and delivered funds to our Japanese sister Girl Scouts in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster. One friend of mine is traveling to Costa Rica and doing community service there using the money she earned from selling cookies. Another friend of mine is doing a community service project that involves creating a hiking trail for the National Park Service in honor of the founder of Girl Scouts.

We help more than just individual girls. Girl Scouts change the entire world for the better. O

It also reached a settlement in a lawsuit related to the claims in August 2013, contributing $765 million to the medical treatment of thousands of players. And only 20 years after the first hard evidence began to come to light. (The settlement was rejected by a judge in January 2014 but is expected to be approved soon.)

Beyond everything, I can’t help but find the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell’s response to the scandal to be indicative of a wider problem. Between the far-toolenient two-game suspension handed down to Rice, the clearly botched handling of attempts to obtain the security footage, and having Rice’s suspension overturned because of the league’s screw-ups, the NFL’s response to the incident has frankly been an embarrassing comedy of errors.

But the last thing, the very last straw that caps the whole season, are the investigations and focus being placed on the

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Downtown not unsafe

The contention that Downtown Toledo is unsafe and the proposed Downtown ProMedica office needs a private parking garage is specious.

If this is the perception of ProMedica and Lindsay Webb, who recently visited the Valentine Theatre and “did not feel safe” while in the area (To-

condition of the footballs used in the New England Patriots’ last win — the so-called “Deflategate.” I honestly couldn’t give a crap about whether or not the Patriots cheated deliberately.

What bothers me is how rapidly and deliberately the NFL, media and fans moved to garner as much evidence as possible to condemn or clear the team of wrongdoing. So decisive. So unlike how the league reacted to previous scandals.

Admittedly, there was a time factor — the Super Bowl was only two weeks away, and there was an obvious benefit to getting information as quickly as possible. But contrasting the rapid response to an issue where the outcome of something as meaningless as a game was in question, to the relatively lackadaisical response to situations where human lives were impacted — this has disturbed me.

So no, I won’t be watching the Super Bowl this Sunday.

I don’t begrudge anyone who does, and I’m not campaigning for anyone to join me. I am merely expressing my frustration toward what I feel are misguided priorities. For no matter how monumental and important people may feel a game is, it is, after all, just that — a game. A diversion. No more, no less. But when the health and well-being of human beings seem to take a back seat to the integrity of a game, something should change. O Jeff McGinnis is pop culture editor of Toledo Free Press.

One year ago Jan. 26, two Toledo firefighters lost their lives in the line of duty.

They may be gone, but they are not forgotten. Fellow firefighters, elected officials and community members made sure the families and friends of Pvt. Stephen Machcinski and Pvt. James Dickman knew that, planning a series of memorials, vigils and meals to mark the anniversary.

Machcinski, MACHCINSKI 42, and Dickman, 31, died from injuries sustained while fighting a North Toledo apartment fire.

“Rapidly deteriorating conditions” inside the burning structure led to the deaths, DICKMAN Toledo Fire Chief Luis Santiago said at the time.

Before taking his “dream job” with Toledo Fire & Rescue (TFD) only months before he died, Dickman served for 10 years as a firefighter in Perkins Township near Sandusky.

His Perkins Township fire jacket is now displayed in the department’s memorial case along with a ceremonial Perkins Township helmet and shield and a TFD patch.

Above the case is painted the motto Dickman penned for his Toledo fire academy graduating class: “We fight with courage, we stand with pride, we honor those who gave their lives.”

“It was most definitely a hard day. Everyone was in a somber mood,” Murphy said “Everyone just kind of gathered to

remember Firefighter Dickman and pay respects to him and Firefighter Machcinski. We wanted to give everybody the opportunity to express their feelings and also show support for the families and let them know we’re still here for them.”

By all accounts, Dickman was a jokester, so some of the stories did lighten the mood, Murphy said.

‘Never be forgotten’

In Toledo, the day started with a public ceremony at One Government Center, at which Chief Santiago thanked both men for their service.

“You served with honor, courage and dedication and, believe me, you will

never be forgotten,” he said.

Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins, a retired police officer, also spoke, calling them heroes.

To do what firefighters and police officers do — run toward danger rather than away — requires a specific quality of courage and honor that not everyone has, he said.

“To this day our community still mourns the loss of these two fine men who without doubt deserve the title of heroes,” Collins said. “We will not mourn, grieve or heal alone. We will do so as a family.”

Santiago thanked the Machcinski and Dickman families for “letting them be part of our family.”

“They were truly brothers in our hearts and they remain brothers in our hearts,” he said. “Right now there’s a hole in our hearts because of their absence.”

Among those in attendance was Machcinski’s brother, Rick, a firefighter at Fort Wayne Fire Department in Indiana. He declined to comment after-

ward, except to say thank you to the Toledo community for their support.

“It’s tough,” Santiago said afterward. “I wish it wasn’t under these circumstances, but I’ve developed relationships with two extraordinary families that have gone through this with grace and dignity.”

Santiago thanked the public for their “kind words, hot meals and donations to our foundation.”

“You reached out to us so many ways,” he said. “I can’t thank you enough.

“The public has been a big supporter of ours not only the day of and the week after, but throughout the year so it was important for our department to acknowledge their support and thank them,” Santiago said after the ceremony. “I think to a large degree they felt our pain, they felt our loss,” he said. “In times of crisis like this, numbers help. We felt that all along and we still do.” n FIREFIGHTERS CONTINUES ON 8

The owner of the apartment building, Ray Abou Arab, 62, of Oregon, is charged with aggravated arson, aggravated murder and tampering with evidence in relation to the fire. He most recently appeared in court Jan. 27, but a trial date has not been set.

“I believe with your help you’ve situated us well to hopefully obtain justice when the time comes,” Santiago said.

A bell was rung three times for each firefighter and a tribute video was played before the ceremony concluded.

“It’s been a long year,” said Capt. Jeff Romstadt, president of Toledo Firefighters Local 92. “To all the citizens, the organizations, the businesses, I cannot say thank you enough.”

Sy Kreais, who leads a block watch group in North Toledo near Fire Station No. 3, was among the community members who came to the memorial. “[Toledo has] the greatest and best firefighters, not only just at my station, but the whole city,” Kreais said. “I call it my station because it’s my neighborhood. I’ve lived there for almost 60 years.”

Machcinski and Dickman were sta-

It reopened and was rededicated in June, and features memorial plaques in the kitchen and at the entrance to the garage.

Also at the ceremony was Michelle Eck, whose son Pvt. Mike Eck is a firefighter and member of Dickman’s graduating class. Eck, who lives near Cleveland, took the day off work to come to Toledo for the memorials.

She held a sign she made that read “We Salute Our Heroes” and wore a shirt with the class motto Dickman penned.

“It hit so close,” Eck said of Dickman’s death. He and her son were similar in age and both had young children. “When I saw those pictures [today], I started crying. I brag back home how wonderful the city of Toledo responded. It was really nice to see the whole city respond.”

Private Mass

Later that afternoon, a private memorial ceremony for families and fire department personnel was held at Toledo’s Historic Church of St. Patrick.

The ceremony consisted of several readings from TFD chaplains, several family members speaking, a video tribute and “a quiet ending,” said TFD

Public Information Officer Lt. Matthew Hertzfeld. Media was not permitted inside the church.

Hertzfeld said the ceremony is part of the healing process, a step on the journey to a “new normal.”

“It’s a very, very sad day. It brings back some very painful memories for a lot of folks,” Hertzfeld said. “When you suffer a tragedy to the depths that we did, I think it makes that healing process take so much more time.

There’s so many things that keep it going, that keep those wounds open.

It’s our hope that today is the start of the healing process for all of us, especially the families.”

A Toledo Police helicopter flew over the church and three bells tolled just before 3:03 p.m., the time of the first mayday call from the fire. TFD asked the community for a moment of silence at that time.

Of course, service calls don’t stop just because there’s a memorial going on. Halfway through the ceremony, four firefighters left the church and got into a rig parked outside to respond to a medical call.

Vigil

That evening, a small group of former residents of the burned apartment joined other neighborhood residents to pray, sing hymns and hold

lighted candles at the site of the fire.

The apartment building at 528 Magnolia St. has since been torn down.

The vigil was organized by former resident Tracy Bishop, who said she lost everything in the fire.

“I just wanted to honor our fallen firefighters who lost their lives that day,” Bishop said. “It’s pretty emotional.

I’m just looking for a little closure. I just want the firemen and their families to know that they’ll never be forgotten.”

Pastor Patricia Smith of nearby Trinity Faith Tabernacle offered a prayer at the vigil.

“It’s tragic but yet bittersweet that men stood in the gap to give their lives,” Smith said afterward. “A lot of families were affected — those that lost everything they had and those that lost their family. We’re praying for them.

God will strengthen them as they go through this hard time. It’s a hard time when you lose somebody and when you lose all that you have. You need the strength of the Lord.”

Dickman’s sisters, Libby Cheney and Caitlin Dickman, who live near Mansfield, and his aunt, Gale Dickman, stopped at the vigil to thank attendees and those who organized it.

“It’s nice to meet people from the community and the people that they helped,” Cheney said. “It’s nice to be around people he was around his last

few days. Everyone’s lives are busy so for them to take time out of their day to come and pay respects and not forget is very touching.”

Cheney said she visited the site once before, in the spring, before the building was razed. She was numb then, she said; this time she felt different.

“The emotions are more raw this year, because even though you don’t want to face reality that this has happened, you can’t shut yourself out all of the time,” she said. “This just makes it more real, unfortunately.”

Live Your Dream

The Dickman family recently started a nonprofit called the Live Your Dream Foundation in honor of Dickman. The foundation will provide scholarships to aspiring firefighters, paramedics, EMTs and others as well as help cover the needs of on-duty firefighters, Cheney said.

“We’re working on trying to focus our energy on something more positive,” Cheney said.

The City of Toledo is an Equal Opportunity Employer

Last year, in the wake of the deaths of Toledo firefighters Pvt. Stephen Machcinski and Pvt. James Dickman, a group called Feed Our Toledo Firefighters arranged for meals to be delivered to local fire stations for six months, at first every day, then on the 26th of each month.

Machcinski, 42, and Dickman, 31, died from injuries sustained while fighting a North Toledo apartment fire on Jan. 26, 2014.

During the anniversary week, the group again stepped up to organize meal deliveries to fire stations, an initiative called A Week of Feast.

Area restaurants, schools, organizations and individuals volunteered to donate and deliver food to each station Jan. 26-31.

“It was really just a continued effort,” said Week of Feast organizer Larry Cready. “As we got near to the one-year anniversary … I suggested we see if we can get them fed on Monday and it just blossomed from there.”

On Jan. 26, 18 fire stations and the 911 dispatch building received delivered meals as part of the group effort.

“It’s just a collaboration of people who have gotten together,” Cready said.

“I may be organizing it and trying to coordinate the effort here, but I certainly couldn’t do this by myself.”

Tony Packo Jr. of Tony Packo’s Cafe was among the restaurant owners who donated meals to local stations.

Packo’s At The Park delivered to Station No. 5 on Jan. 27 and the Original Tony Packo’s delivered to Station No. 13 on Jan. 28.

Packo Jr. said it was an easy decision to get involved, not only because of the close proximity of his restaurants to fire stations, but also to show support for Toledo’s firefighters, many of whom are regular customers.

“We’re obviously very close to the fire stations in a lot of regards. A lot of firefighters, including the chief, patronize our restaurants,” he said. “We appreciate their dedication and their sacrifice to say the least. We just wanted to show our support.”

Cready said local firefighters have been humbled by the meals and the outpouring of support is something they appreciate.

“They don’t ask for anything from us,” Cready said. “They get up every morning and they put their lives on the line for us because that’s their job. ...

For us to come together to show them that we’re Toledo Strong [gives] them a pat on the back and [is] showing them some love.”

Toledo Fire Chief Luis Santiago referenced the meals as part of his thank you to the community during a public memorial service Jan. 26.

“It’s just another gesture of kindness,” Santiago said afterward. “I am ever so grateful to them that they take time out of their day to do that because they don’t have to do that.”

Pvt. Mike Eck of Fire Station 14, a member of Dickman’s graduating class, agreed.

“It’s very welcome just for the fact that people are bringing us hot meals,” Eck said. “They care. They want to take care of us. The support is very humbling.”

The group’s reach extended even down South — 1,000 miles from Toledo in Gainesville, Florida.

University of Florida student and Toledo native Stevie VanAusdale participated in the feeding last year and was so moved by the city’s response, she jumped at the idea to participate for the anniversary.

VanAusdale, who is working on her master’s degree, delivered food to a fire station in Gainesville in honor of the fallen heroes in Toledo.

“I have a friend who is a Detroit firefighter who was injured while fighting an arson fire and it felt like the city really turned their back on him and the others who were injured,” VanAusdale said in a Facebook message. “It was really important for me to help out after Jamie and Steve passed away. I think we so often forget about firefighters and the life-threatening work they do.”

Since the initiative began last year, VanAusdale, her family and some neighbors they rallied have donated meals each month.

“It really isn’t that difficult to make a little extra food once a month, so we figured it was the least we can do,” she said. “I am still Toledo Proud 1,000 miles away.” O Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Sarah Ottney contributed to this report.

With a financial track record as varied as its checkered history, the Erie Street Market has been put on the market by the City of Toledo.

On Jan. 23, the city issued a formal request for proposals (RFP) seeking interested parties. It had already received an offer from Sustainable Local Foods, a Columbusbased produce grower with a Toledo growing space currently located inside the Erie Street Market.

“What I want to do is ensure that the largest possible economic impact for the city is in that location,” said Matt Sapara, director of the city’s department of development. “The market is going to decide that. The RFP was very broad, and if someone wants to put in retail — terrific. If someone wants to go in there that can create jobs and other economic impact, that’s great too. It’s whatever is best for the city.”

Sapara declined to disclose the price offered by Sustainable Local Foods.

The Erie Street Market is located in the Warehouse District, immediately south of Downtown. The area has seen significant growth particularly since the arrival of Fifth Third Field in 2002.

The building originally opened in 1908 as a food distribution center for wholesale fruit and vegetable farmers, then was redesigned in 1927 when an auditorium was added for exhibitions and entertainment — a precursor to today’s SeaGate Convention Centre. Formerly known as the Toledo Civic Auditorium, the venue’s stage was once graced by icons like Elvis Presley and boxer Joe Louis as well as host to numerous auto, bridal and flower shows.

The outdoor farmers’ market was added in the 1940s, and the indoor wholesale portion was eliminated in 1966 when the city converted it into a warehouse for the Natural Resources Department.

Its latest reincarnation in 1997 turned the building into an ultimately unsuccessful retail center with a food, craft and antique market, all anchored by the still-present Libbey Glass Factory Outlet.

Starting in 2010, the city tried to operate two event spaces at the building. But by 2012, all retail ventures aside from the Libbey Outlet were gone and the halls were closed.

Representatives of the Toledo Warehouse District Association believe a re-

turn to retail is what’s needed.

Last year, Lucky’s Market, a Colorado-based grocery chain, expressed strong interest in the Erie Street Market but those plans did not come to fruition.

“We’re still wanting to see retail, specifically, a grocery in that location,” said Diane Keil-Hipp, Toledo Warehouse District Association president.

“We don’t have anything in the works, but that’s still our desire. While the city owns it, we’re working with them to try and recruit different markets. We brought Lucky’s to the city to work with, but if it’s sold to an individual or business, we’ll attempt to forge a relationship with them.”

Keil-Hipp said interest in the Warehouse District remains strong,

and she hopes for something more than a corner market, but not necessarily a large-scale supermarket.

“Kind of a neighborhood market,” Keil-Hipp said. “There’s still tons of interest in living in the Warehouse District. We get requests all the time [asking] what’s available down here, and in October we had 2,400 hits on our website. Living here is in great demand.”

Sapara said interested groups have until Feb. 13 to submit proposals. Bids will be opened Feb. 17.

The sale of the site would not include the Farmers’ Market or the parking lot, Sapara said.

“Other people have expressed interest, but nothing written yet,” Sapara said. “When we get those proposals back, we’ll put together an analysis.” O

Opponents of a planned natural gas pipeline through Northwest Ohio are getting their legal ducks in a row and picking up support among neighbors and local public officials.

The group, calling itself Neighbors Against NEXUS, has accused planners of the NEXUS high-pressure gas pipeline of using high-pressure tactics to get property rights from landowners along the route, which crosses northern Ohio toward a planned linkup with a pipeline network in Michigan and Canada.

Terry Lodge, a Toledo lawyer representing five advocacy groups — two of them formed to oppose the pipeline route — said in a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that FERC is, by the wording of its public notification to landowners, allowing pipeline companies to start negotiating with landowners, including the threat of eminent domain, before the companies are properly authorized to begin work.

“Pipeline companies are threatening property owners in their study corridors (strips of land identified as possible pipeline routes) that FERC will be vesting them with eminent domain powers, and warning that FERC’s licensing decision is a given. They are trying to bully owners into conceding easements,” Lodge wrote.

Spectra Energy, the principal company behind the NEXUS project, “prefiled” this month with FERC, starting a yearlong process in which affected

www.charliesdodge.com

parties can have public input into the project. Spectra, which is working with DTE Energy in Michigan on the NEXUS pipeline, hopes to have the 42-inch pipeline in place by late 2017 and carrying 2 billion cubic feet of gas a day from the Marcellus and Utica shale fields.

Opponents say the pipeline will offer no benefit to the property owners whose land it goes through, as it carries natural gas to a pipeline network in Canada for export overseas.

NEXUS spokesman Arthur Diestel has said in public meetings and in emailed answers to reporters’ questions that Spectra and NEXUS want to hear public input and are willing to work with landowners to lessen the impact the pipeline has on their homes and farms.

About 150 people crowded into the sales room Jan. 28 at Johnston Fruit Farms in Swanton to hear what Neighbors Against NEXUS had to say.

The group is not against the pipeline but wants the route shifted to the south and west, away from farms, concentrations of people and public forest land, including Oak Openings Preserve.

“If a farmer doesn’t want the pipeline on his land, we should respect that,” said Liz Athaide-Victor, a Swancreek Township resident who is spearheading Neighbors Against NEXUS. “We’re not against pipelines. We just want it done safely,” said Fernando Mora, owner of Johnston Fruit Farms. Mora, disputing pipeline companies’ claims that farming could resume almost immediately on land in which a pipeline was buried, said it would take several

years to re-establish fruit trees, and landuse agreements would prohibit trees being planted over a pipeline anyway.

Locally, three townships have come out in opposition to the pipeline: Swancreek, in Fulton County; Providence, in Lucas County; and Waterville, also in Lucas County. Trustees in Amboy Township, in northeast Fulton County, considered a resolution Jan. 19 but have not yet decided. Several townships south of Cleveland, along with commissioners in Summit County, have also approved resolutions against the pipeline through their territories.

The resolutions might have little legal weight, because the ultimate authority is federal, but Athaide-Victor and Swancreek Township trustee Rick Kazmierczak said the resolutions’ influence will add up.

“They (FERC) have to respond to everything that’s sent to them,” AthaideVictor said.

According to the FERC website, NEXUS has scheduled several public open houses as required by law at various locations. Locally, they are: O 5-7:30 p.m. Feb. 5 at Terra State Community College, Fremont.

O 5-7:30 p.m. Feb. 11 at Swanton High School, 601 N. Main St., Swanton.

Toledo Free Press Managing Editor jsensenig@toledofreepress.com

Linda Shaw thought she had the flu.

Four years ago, while visiting her sister in Valparaiso, Indiana, the Perrysburg woman awoke at 4 a.m. with the feeling of not being able to lie down any longer. Shaw, who had not been feeling well for some time prior to that, just wasn’t feeling “right,” by her own admission.

Her sister told her she was taking her to the hospital.

There, Shaw learned she didn’t have the flu.

She had had a heart attack.

“I had that kind of [flu] ache.

Muscle aches in my arms, across my back,” Shaw said. “No chest pain, no jaw pain. None of the earmarks of a heart attack.”

But inside Shaw’s body were the indicators of a heart attack. That Friday, the doctor told her she had three blocked arteries: one at 98 percent blocked, another at 100 percent and the third at 97 percent. She had triplebypass surgery the following Monday.

Now 62, Shaw can be found first thing in the morning three days a week in the lower level of ProMedica St. Luke’s Hospital in Maumee. She’s a regular at the hospital’s Cardiac Rehab program, which aims to help those who have suffered a heart event regain their health.

“Recent studies show those who get in rehab after a heart event live on average five years longer,” said Karen Sherman, a nurse and cardiac rehab coordinator at St. Luke’s. “Time is muscle. The heart is a muscle.”

The hospital’s cardiac rehab program began in 1983. Through exercise, education and support, the program aims to provide healthier lives for patients who have had a heart attack, bypass surgery, valvular surgery,

heart transplant, angina, stents or heart failure.

The program consists of three phases. Phase 1 begins with light education and exercises while the patient is still admitted in the hospital. Phase 2 is a three-month program of monitored exercise and education, with patients coming in three to five times per week. Phase 3 is a maintenance phase for those who want to continue the exercise portion of the program in the hospital setting. Up to 300 people are regularly in the Phase 2 or 3 portion of the program, with more in ProMedica’s other hospitals throughout Northwest Ohio.

Sherman said the hospital encourages patients to start the rehab program within one to three weeks of being discharged.

“The quicker we can get to them and start educating them and exercise them, the better they do,” she said.

After recovering in Indiana for a month following her surgery, Shaw was eager to begin exercising at St. Luke’s. She’s been in Phase 3 for more than three years.

“I’m here because this is my lifestyle, this is where I belong and it’s a comfort to me,” Shaw said after one of her two-hour workouts, which begin as soon as the center’s doors open at 6:15 a.m. “While I don’t worry about it on a daily basis, if something would happen, they’re here for me. In a second, they’re here. … [The center] deals with the whole compass of heart disease. Not just the nutrition and exercise, but the emotional support. We have a great camaraderie here because we’re all here for a reason.”

The communal spirit of the program is beneficial to many patients, who may be experiencing the “cardiac blues” following their heart event, according to Sherman.

“Some people are socially isolated, and they’re depressed after an event,”

she said. “Getting them out and interacting with others improves their quality of life.”

Each patient’s exercise program is catered to his or her ability, said Kristin Easter, an exercise therapist in the program.

The patient’s background, risk factors and any health problems they may be experiencing are reviewed during their first day in the program. Because participants may be as young as their 20s to as old as their 90s, there is a wide range in exercise routines.

“That’s a big part of the program — making sure we can provide them with an exercise routine that they feel comfortable with, so it’s all individualized for a patient,” Easter said. “We kind of act as a liaison between the doctor and patient. They may see the doctor once every three to six months but we’re here to keep the doctor updated and let them know how their patients are doing.”

Shaw said the program has helped improve the quality of life for not only herself, but also the lives of her daughters and grandchildren, who say grandma had a “broken” heart. Because Shaw had a heart attack prior to the age of 60, her family is considered at-risk for a heart event.

“It’s hard, I won’t deny. Nothing’s ever laid me out like that,” Shaw said of her heart attack. “But I think what you do is just keep pushing forward.

It’s been a blessing for my family. …

Since then, my girls, who never had a weight problem, are very conscious now of what they’re putting in their bodies.” Her 10-year-old grandson recently told her, “I’m not going to have a second helping of this, Grandma, because it’s a better choice if I don’t.”

Although Shaw knows she doesn’t “have” to keep showing up three times a week, she has no plans on stopping.

“I’m not done. This is the life-

A Toledo tradition since 2005

By Matt Liasse

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer mliasse@toledofreepress.com

Toledo native Julia Allen didn’t know what a heart attack felt like until she had one.

On April 15, 2013, the then-44year-old started to feel tightness in her chest while at work. She ignored it until she became short of breath and nauseated and felt a tightening in her jaw. It was then that she knew what she was feeling wasn’t normal.

“We all go to health fairs and read stuff or watch ‘Dr. Oz’ and that stuff kind of sticks in your head,” she said.

“Inherently I just knew something wasn’t right.”

Allen fought the idea of calling an ambulance because of the cost.

After calling her husband, he tried to talk her into going to the hospital.

She compromised, saying she would call her doctor. He told her to go to the hospital.

“I was in denial,” she said. “Up until this point, I had been the picture of health. I had never really had anything major. I was that person that went to the doctor every year, I got my physicals, I did everything … just like I was supposed to.”

She said she thought her husband and doctors were overreacting the day of her heart attack. She was almost convinced that she would get to the emergency room to find out she had

the flu. She even stopped home on the way to the hospital.

Allen, who now lives in North Carolina, is a spokesperson for the American Heart Association’s “Go Red For Women” campaign. It’s the same campaign she turned to when she was suffering her heart attack.

“They had women out there doing what I’m doing now,” Allen said. “The women actually tell the story of what was happening to them, what they felt, what they experienced.”

She said the website saved her life.

Her outlook on life changed the day she had a heart attack. While in the hospital, she made a deal with God, asking for her time not to be up yet.

“I think you get to the point of desperation,” she said. “I am a Christian, I’ve given my life to Christ … so if he had taken me that day, I feel like I would’ve gone to heaven. But I wasn’t ready to not be a part of my children’s lives. I wanted to see them grow up.”

She promised if she survived, she would make changes in the way she treated herself.

Before her heart attack, Allen said, she always put everyone else’s needs before her own.

“I was trying to be that perfect mother and perfect wife,” she said.

Since her heart attack, Allen has reduced stress, started listening to her body and begun exercising during spare time. She said showing kindness and appreciation is another way she’s changed.

Toledo native helps other women in Go Red campaign

n TOLEDO NATIVE JULIA ALlen poses with her husband troy and their children at a family picnic. Allen, who now resides in north carolina, suffered a heart attack in 2013 at the age of 44. she is now a spokesperson for the american heart association’s go red for women campaign.

“All those things that we take for granted … make people realize that you care about them,” she said.

Having a heart attack proved to Allen that tomorrow is never guaranteed.

“I try to slow down now and definitely spend more time with my kids and my husband,” she said. “Now I have more family nights.”

Allen said heart disease runs in her family. She said her son, an avid athlete who eats well, has high cholesterol

because of his genes.

“Family history plays a very strong part in your risk of disease,” she said.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America and 48.9 percent of African-American women ages 20 or older have cardiovascular disease, Allen said.

“In my situation, before the heart attack, I remember having chest pains here and there years before,”

she said. “It would come and go and [I would] ignore it.”

Through her efforts as a spokesperson, Allen meets other women and hopes to inspire them to take better care of their hearts.

Allen also encourages everyone to wear red for the nationwide Wear Red Day on Feb. 6. The day serves as a reminder for women to be aware of their health. For more information, visit goredforwomen.org. O

Mercy St. Anne challenges community to better health

By Joel Sensenig Toledo Free Press Managing Editor jsensenig@toledofreepress.com

Mercy St. Anne Hospital is inviting nonprofit organizations and the community to take an active part in preventing heart disease — and maybe win some money while they’re at it.

Officials announced Jan. 26 the “Heart of West Toledo Challenge,” an interactive series of events designed to raise awareness of heart disease and help organizations win up to $5,000 in grant money.

“We are here to announce a challenge to the community to change lifestyles that lead to a healthier heart and a healthier you,” said Dr. Imran Andrabi, chief operating officer, president and chief network integration officer for Mercy. “As a leader in cardiac care throughout Northwest Ohio, Mercy has a commitment to our community to ensure that you’re not only receiving high-quality, compassionate health care, but also have the tools needed to improve your health while you live your everyday life.”

Mercy officials came up with the idea of the challenge, a three-day series of themed community health fairs provided to the public at no charge. n MERCY CONTINUES ON 15

n MERCY CONTINUED FROM 14 The events from 1-3 p.m. March 15 (Nutrition), April 12 (Lifestyle) and June 27 (Fitness) will feature a variety of health activities, informational sessions and cooking demonstrations at Mercy St. Anne Hospital, 3404 W. Sylvania Ave. The “challenge” component of the series stems from nonprofit and com-

munity organizations competing to gather votes at each session, with the top three vote recipients earning cash grants (first place $5,000; second place $3,000; third place $2,000) to support a health-related program within their organization. Participating organizations will earn points for attending the events, and attendees at each of the three sessions will cast a paper ballot to

indicate their support of one of the 25 eligible organizations.

Mercy St. Anne is using the challenge in part to help raise awareness about its cardiac and vascular care.

Last fall, it debuted its full-service cardiovascular program, with services including heart catheterization, coronary angioplasty and stenting, as well as open-heart surgery.

Brad Bertke, president and CEO of Mercy St. Anne, said the larger point is to improve public awareness of heart disease prevention.

“We know that sometimes it takes a life-threatening or life-altering event for people to truly engage in their own health care, but that doesn’t have to be the case,” he said. “We can do that now, and that’s what this event is all about. Through the ‘Heart of West Toledo,’ the goal is to give people an avenue to understand and engage in their health care today.”

Dr. Ahed Nahhas, cardiologist and medical director for the cardiac catheterization lab at the hospital, said these community-engagement events are all about preventing future problems.

“When we do procedures on those patients, we see them near the end of the disease process,” he said. “It’s important to try to focus on prevention as much as we can.”

Springfield Local Schools has already signed up for the challenge.

Kristina White, community liaison for the school district, said it represents an important part of schools’ impact on students and the community.

“Springfield Local Schools, like any almost any other public school district in America, relies on partnerships with our community in order to really take what can be teachable moments that we see with our students and bring those teachable moments to reality,” she said.

“There are students, there are families, there are staff members that are going to take advantage of what Dr. Nahhas shares at these events. But even greater than that, it offers us the opportunity to encourage people to get off the sideline and take some responsibility, and have fun while they do it.”

The challenge is limited to 25 nonprofit and community organizations, which must register by Feb. 27 at mercyweb.org/heart or by calling Kelly Schenavar at (419) 887-6823. O

After someone has been released from therapy, they still need to continue exercising to avoid losing the gains they have made. Group fitness classes offer a great opportunity to avoid regression. The next step in your continuum of care is a certified professional to lead you in classes specifically designed to make seniors stronger.

Many times, seniors are caught in a cycle of regression followed by physical therapy where they progress to a certain point before being released to regress again. We have found that this program has helped seniors to continually progress and lead a much stronger, healthier and happier lifestyle.

n BARB COLVIN LEADS A TAI CHI CLASS AT THE MAUMEE CENTER, 406 ILLINOIS AVE. COLVIN, A NURSE BY TRADE, HAS OVER 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN TAI CHI. THE TAOIST TAI CHI SOCIETY IN TOLEDO OFFERS CLASSES AT SIX LOCATIONS IN THE AREA.

Tai chi offers physical, mental health benefits

By Jay Hathaway

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle takes a knack for balance — both physical and mental. For those seeking improvement in these areas and better overall well-being, a traditional Eastern martial art may provide just the right avenue.

Tai chi has been practiced for hundreds of years, and has roots in both Taoism and Buddhism. Though sometimes practiced as a form of self-defense, many schools teach tai chi as a means to improving health and balance.

Tai chi has made its way to the West, and there are numerous opportunities for one to embark on a tai chi journey in Toledo.

Barb Colvin is an instructor with Taoist Tai Chi Society in Toledo. She is a nurse by trade and has over 20 years of experience in tai chi. Colvin is a breast cancer survivor, and she began tai chi because she knew she would be prone to conditions such as osteoporosis.

“That was what kind of got me into it to begin with,” Colvin said.

“Now I stay for the well-being that I get from it.”

Colvin explained that tai chi promotes strength in the legs and other parts of the body, stretches the spine, feet and hands and improves

joint movement.

She added that tai chi geared toward promoting health can be effective in combating a wide variety of maladies or conditions.

“We have a lot of people with a lot of different health issues that come in — Parkinson’s, stroke, multiple sclerosis, hypertension, arthritis and fibromyalgia. What they find [over time] is that they are starting to feel a lot better.”

Colvin said students in her classes work on the external parts of the body to begin with, and eventually work on the inner parts of the body, as well.

“Classes help people understand how to move, where the hands need to be and how to shift weight from one place to another.

“It’s not an aerobic exercise — there’s no impact, and you stay on your feet. That’s the attraction for some people.”

Rebecca Rahe is an instructor and manager for the Dr. Paul Lam Tai Chi Workshop. She said tai chi is a multifaceted art form that integrates the mind, body and spirit.

“Tai chi has many layers, but kept at a basic level and practiced most days of the week, people notice an improvement in health and well-being. [It is] an affordable way to treat chronic conditions, and it empowers us to manage our own health.”

Rahe said tai chi is something that

can be practiced by people of practically any age, and it is recognized by the Centers for Disease Control as an effective way to promote fall prevention for seniors.

“Tai chi can be done seated, standing or even lying in bed. All you need to practice tai chi is loose, comfortable clothing and an effective teacher,” Rahe said.

Colvin also said tai chi is making its way into mainstream Western medicine as a legitimate means to improving one’s health.

“I think there is more of a growing interest in tai chi because doctors are starting to recommend it to patients,” she said.

Colvin said new students begin slowly, learning one movement at a time by repetition.

“You pick up what you can, you do what you can. We don’t expect people to go home and remember it, but the more we repeat, the more the body recognizes how to do it.”

The Taoist Tai Chi Society is a nonprofit, so donation amounts for classes vary, but the amount can be managed or reduced for those who are on limited incomes.

Beginner classes for the Taoist society began in January at various locations.

If Toledo is a growing body, Max Reddish certainly knows where the heart is.

As part of a family that has been doing business in the city since 1909, beginning with his great-grandfather’s hardware store, Reddish said he opened Reddish Printing with the intention of celebrating the city’s potential.

“This is my town,” Reddish said. “I think if you’re going to make a profit off the community you should give back to the community as well.”

His journey began while working labor jobs at factories, fresh from his decision to eschew a college degree. His family ran Reddish Contact Sports Supply, already a popular brand with locals, but Reddish found his niche by discovering something the business didn’t produce.

“They always made screen printing available but never actually did it in house,” Reddish said.

“So I said, ‘That’s an opportunity. I’ll buy some equipment and learn how to screen print.’”

With a business plan in mind, Reddish flew to Arizona to attend a school specializing in the craft. The new business had a humble beginning as he worked from a nook in the back of the family’s store. After five years, Reddish decided he wanted to expand into his own location.

He found the perfect spot at 1503 Adams St., right across from Manhattan’s, his favorite restaurant.

After investing in equipment and materials, Reddish set up shop in a “big bang” sort of way, he said, getting everything in at once and displaying T-shirts promoting the city.

Reddish Printing finds home on Adams Street

Max Reddish of Reddish Printing, with dog Red, opened HIS SHOP at 1503 Adams St. in OCTOBER.

Using his imagination paired with the printing skills he’s developed, Reddish can take a customer’s idea and create designs for their club, sporting team, organization or personal use.

Dave Crafts, who noticed Reddish’s work at a street sale booth during The Arts Commission’s summer Art Walks, frequently enlists him to create jerseys for a sand volleyball league and for students who served in the military.

“I have always been able to give Max a rough idea of what I need and he is able to translate my sporadic vision into a great product.” Crafts said.

“Max’s commitment to and passion for Toledo is apparent in his designs, and you can see he truly loves his work.”

Reddish currently offers T-shirts, sweatshirts, baby clothing and more. In the coming months, he plans to offer custom pint glasses and drink-

Bennett Management marks 50th anniversary Bennett Management Corp. celebrated 50 years in business Jan. 24.

The family-owned, Maumee-based business was founded by Bob Bennett, who recognized the potential of Burger King when it was 11 years old and opened a franchise in Kalamazoo, Michigan. At the time of his death in May 2013, Bennett had grown the business into 26 Burger King locations across Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.

Beverly Benner, vice president of administration and marketing, credited great management, an excellent team and a great brand for the company reaching the milestone.

“He was an attorney and a CPA and he had a brilliant business mind,” Benner said of Bennett. “I’m sure a lot of planning and experience went into creating such a great business model.”

During his life, Bennett spoke highly

of the Toledo area and sought ways to improve the quality of the city through its business economy, Benner said.

Bennett Management remains involved in Toledo as well as the other communities it serves, supporting organizations such as The Boy Scouts of America, Easter Seals, Lucas County Children Services, and Historic Church of St. Patrick’s Food Pantry, Benner said.

While its founder may not get to witness the business’s continued growth, Benner said she is looking ahead to Bennett’s next 50 years.

“I think it’s absolutely incredible we’ve made it this far, and it’s all thanks to the wonderful people we’ve had involved,” Benner said. “We’re looking forward to many more years serving the communities in which these store are located.” O — Chase Will

ware, as well as sunglasses and summer attire.

Other plans moving forward involve creating a relaxing space in the front of the store for people to hang out, complete with new couches and possibly offering drip coffee.

Being creatively driven, Reddish also said he plans to repurpose the display space at the front of the store into a stage for local performers to play acoustic sets or for open-mic nights.

“I’m thinking of maybe adding a projector screen too, something to show movies on for customers,” he said.

One screening that immediately came to Reddish’s mind was WGTE’s “Toledo Stories,” a series of short films about the city’s history.

Part of this creativity in utilizing his space comes from the awareness of other businesses with multifaceted approaches to customer interests.

“Everyone seems to want to be interactive on multiple planes,” Reddish said. “You’re not just a bar, you’re a banquet hall. You’re not just selling crafts, you also have people there crafting. I don’t want this place to just be a print shop.”

Lending his space to other artists seems like a no-brainer, Reddish said. His walls display several works by a local painter, providing exposure to someone else who may have a dream waiting to see fruition.

Reddish said people often overlook Toledo’s friendly attitude and regional developments on the rise. He said the city has the famous Midwestern spirit, and newcomers are always welcomed and shown around.

“This is my city,” Reddish said. “I’ve been stomping around this area for 17 years. I’ve always had a love for it and I hate people who are hating on it.” O

“Zion” features 18.

“It was totally my creation from the ground up,” Bauer said. “After [the artists] sent the verses back, I spent many hours and days listening until the song was completed. Then we shot each person’s individual scenes.”

Bauer said at one time he wanted to be a rapper, but had no luck in the music industry so he went into broadcasting. His show “#GIMMEMYSHINE” airs 2-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. He hopes his video gives rap artists in the city their moment to shine.

“If I’m not going to be an artist, the least I can do is give artists a platform,” he said.

Some of the artists in the video include Stink Bomb, whom Bauer called the “hottest artist in the city,” Cuntry, Thee Untouchable, Mike Wit

da Goldz, Yung Chuck, G5Juan, 7 Diamond, Prophet Mocmoud, Geech, Jimmy Paid and Kane.

“Mud Massacre” has 56,000 views on YouTube. So far, “Mud Massacre II” has gotten 10,000 hits in its first month.

“It’s called ‘Mud Massacre’ because Toledo is known as the mud and they’re killing the rap,” Bauer said.

“That’s where it came from. ... They’re killing it. They’re doing their best to get their shine on.”

Yung Chuck, the architect of “Chuckie” who boasts a national fan base, said he got involved with the video to showcase Toledo’s talent and to emphasize his core message. Yung Chuck said he had a difficult beginning in life; his mother did drugs and he moved in with his grandparents.

“I had a crazy life,” he said. “My whole movement is about uplifting,

doing for yourself. When people say you can’t do anything, you can do it.”

Yung Chuck has been in the industry for two years and rapping for 10. In 2012, he went national with the group Educate Portege and can be seen in many of their videos.

Artist Mike Flamez has been a part of the rap scene in Toledo for 12 years.

He contributed the first verse in “Zion.”

“It’s just an amazing thing Eddie put together,” Flamez said. “There’s not a lot of DJs in the area that take the time to do something like this.

From my perspective, it is very wellappreciated. You just have to do everything for yourself in Toledo. Eddie is putting in his own money and time.

It’s just a beautiful thing really because around here there is a lot of negativity, so it’s good we have something more positive to be about.” O

A new exhibit at the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) will display illustrations from children’s books that focus on pets, including originals of Clifford the Big Red Dog, Walt Disney’s Pluto and Bad Dog Marley, inspiration for the motion picture, “Marley & Me.” “Best in Show: Animal Illustrations” runs Feb. 13 through July 5, and will feature 54 original works on loan from the University of Findlay’s Mazza Museum, home to the world’s largest collection of original art by children’s book illustrators.

“There’s just something so wonderfully creative about children’s books, and even if you don’t have children, they’re wonderful to look at,” said Carolyn Putney, chief curator and curator of Asian art. “When I read about [the illustrators’] background, every single one of them started drawing when they were children and couldn’t stop, and they just all seemed like the happiest people.”

In addition to Clifford, Pluto and Marley, visitors will enjoy cover illustrations from 1930 to the present, including “Mrs. Huggins and Her Hen Hannah” by Lydia Dabcovich, and “In Bed” by Margot Tomes from the

In all, the exhibit includes images of 22 dogs, 14 cats and other animals, including hens and horses.

The work from some native Ohio illustrators will even be featured.

“Best in Show” is the second TMA partnership with the Mazza Museum, the first being in 2009.

Mazza draws more than 11,000 visitors a year to its museum, and the collaboration helps even more discover what Mazza has to offer.

“The Toledo Museum of Art contacted us to see if we would be interested in doing another show with them,” said Ben Sapp, Mazza director.

“Of course, we were excited about doing that, primarily because [TMA] is one of the finest museums in the country, but also because we’re within an hour of each other. It’s really a win-win.”

Mazza possesses over 9,000 original book illustrations and displays 350 at a time in its five galleries, changing the works every June.

“What goes into creating a children’s picture book is something that you don’t truly understand or appreciate it until you see it in person,” Sapp said. “[Illustrators] have to be concerned about how the left page is going to look against the right page, so there’s so much that goes into creating the whole book, and it’s a true work of art from cover to cover.”

PROOF

Located in TMA’s Gallery 18 near the main entrance, the exhibit will have a reading area, allowing visitors to enjoy the art and then read the very books for which they were crafted. A hands-on section will invite children to make their own drawings and take part in an “I spy” game to find animals in other galleries.

The Toledo-Lucas County Public Library is also involved, with works from its Robert L. and Posy Huebner Collection featured.

Once the weather warms, TMA is also planning to host an outdoor public program that will allow visitors to bring their own pets as part of the program.

The show has special meaning for Putney — it’s the last one the Florida transplant will organize for TMA after 37 years of employment, including a brief stint as museum interim deputy director in 2010.

“I just wanted to come up with something for families,” said Putney, who plans to remain actively involved in the industry via an art travel business and consulting. “I don’t have any pets, but my sister has a dog, and he’s just the nicest dog.

He’s part of the family.”

Putney will give a free talk about the exhibition at 7 p.m. Feb. 27 in the lower level’s Little Theater.

the 17th century thought that children should be treated differently (that children’s literature emerged),” Putney said. “Those first books were educational, and in the 18th and 19th century they became more childrenfriendly. Some of the earliest books were Aesop’s Fables and the Brothers

Grimm fairy tales.”

TMA is open every day except Monday, and admission to both the museum and the new exhibit is free.

A Toledo tradition since 2005

Groups unite to stage Opera Ain’t No Drag Collingwood Arts Center set to host unique performance Feb. 7.

By Matt Liasse Toledo Free Press Staff Writer mliasse@toledofreepress.com

Opera singers and drag queens are alike in more ways than one: the extravagance, the big wigs, the shiny dresses.

“It’s all performance,” said Toledo Pride Marketing Director Kelly Heuss. “It blends more than you think it does.”

Both types of performers will be part of the Opera Ain’t No Drag event at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 7 at the Collingwood Arts Center, 2413 Collingwood Blvd.

The event is a collaborative effort between Toledo Pride and the Toledo Opera Association.

“It’s just kind of a ridiculous, fun evening,” Heuss said.

Toledo Pride Executive Director Lexi Staples has done wigs and makeup for the opera for a few years, which is how the connection between the two groups was first made.

The idea, brainstormed by Staples, was put into effect two years ago to much success. More than

500 people attended the event and Heuss said the crowd was diverse.

“You get the opera guild members and then you get the younger generation that hangs out at the bars and watches the drag queens,” she said.

Heuss said the two types tend to mesh well.

“I just love that it’s a fun event that really brings together different parts of the community,” she said.

The event will include live performances by opera singers and lip-synced performances by drag queens and a drag king. The songs included during the event will include some well-known numbers.

The local performers include Jenny Cresswell, Micah Graber and Madeline Harts from the Toledo Opera Association; drag queens London Asia, Empress Fontaine, Amber Stone and Sugar Vermonte; and drag king Santana Romero.

Tickets for the event cost $15 or two for $25, available in advance or the day of the show. To purchase tickets, or for more information, visit toledopride.com. O
