Sidewalk on MOnroe STreet near Fifth Third Field.

In the paint

M

ud Hens season is in full swing, with thousands of people walking Downtown to see a game and visit a restaurant or pub. And as we report on the growth of the Warehouse District this issue, what a terrible time to mark up the surrounding sidewalks with what is tantamount to graffiti.

Along the sidewalks on Monroe Street near Huron Street, outside the offices of Toledo Free Press and in front of the restaurants and businesses by Fifth Third Field, the locations of underground utility and cable lines are marked in bright orange, red and blue paint. Not a light chalky paint or substance that will fade in a week or two, but heavy, dark paint that stains the sidewalks for months upon months.

At this point in time, the locations of cables and lines and pipes must be well docuThomas F. Pounds mented.

I understand the safety concerns, but there has to be a better way to mark these lines than pretending Jackson Pollock works for a contractor. Is there no database where these lines are stored?

They can’t use GPS or ground-penetrating radar? The city installed beautiful bricks along the sidewalk and now they are tagged with lines and directions.

We spend our time and our money to live and work here; this is our front yard. Power washing won’t take the paint off and you could get fined or arrested should you try. n POUNDS CONTINUES ON 4

LIGHTING THE FUSE

Raising our rainbow

EDITOR’S NOTE: Recently, a parent at our son Sean’s school noticed his shoe was untied and offered to help him tie it.

When she saw he was wearing “girl” sneakers, she admonished him, telling him he should not wear shoes like that, trying to shame the 5-year-old. Sean shook it off and went about his day but talked to us about it that night. Of course the woman, who should tend to her own house before trying to “fix” anyone else’s kids, could have spoken to us to express her concerns, but chose to embarrass a 5-year-old instead. It’s a situation I have no doubt will repeat itself many times, so let’s walk through this again.

He also likes Disney princesses, the color pink, bracelets and other odds and ends traditionally thought of as “girl stuff.”

As Sean evolves and his personality manifests and asserts itself, we as parents increasingly find ourselves in a struggle between allowing him to be who he is — to express himself with the full confidence that we love him unconditionally and without judgment — and guiding him through society’s expectations. We know there are a lot of ugly realities waiting for a boy who prefers Barbie to G.I. Joe. We know there are known quantities such as bullies — and dangers we cannot anticipate. So while at home Sean is given the freedom to be who he is and we use each ur 5-year-old son Sean is a fiercely independent, big-hearted boy who Michael S. miller decision he makes as a learning opportunity, we are conservative about what he likes to get in the dirt and dig. He is strong and tough, not afraid of bugs, speed, heights, gravity wears to school — if you can define sparkly tennis shoes or physics in general. He likes to “battle,” to wrestle and and pastel shirts as conservative. roughhouse and knock things over. n MILLER CONTINUES ON 4

LETTERS

Teacher disappointed with Lee TO THE EDITOR: I received the May 25 issue of Toledo Free Press and was immediately disheartened by the first inside page. I am greatly disappointed in the cartoon by Don Lee because it is disrespectful to all who believe in the field of education. Making light of the horrible situation of a teacher inappropriately placing her hands on a child is incredibly rude and distasteful.

While I believe in our First Amendment rights and value others’ opinions, I also believe that some topics are reprehensible enough that a “satirical” cartoon is unnecessary. I have taught for 10 years now, and I am very proud of being a teacher. I would never hit or push a child and I would never support someone who did. Not only do you make light of a teacher doing this, you added characters with the words “bullies” and “gangz” in the background, as if teachers do not fight these two giant issues every single day. Bullying is a bigger issue than most people understand or care to admit — how insensitive of you to sarcastically include it in your cartoon.

Mr. Lee, I went to your Facebook page to see if there was more to this cartoon/story than meets the eye. With the picture is this description: “... I had fair-to-good teachers for the most part, but there was one POS in particular and this cartoon is dedicated to her.”

I am sorry that you can only say you had fair-to-good teachers in your life and I am sorry that a teacher treated you so badly. As a teacher who still bears the scars of middle-school bullying, I understand that those feelings run deep.

Instead of further perpetuating the negativity, why not use your presence to do something good? Support education, support students, support anything to be positive — rather than create sarcastic cartoons that are a slap in the face of real teachers everywhere. O Bonnie Garrett fourth-grade teacher, Toledo Don Lee replies: “Ms. Garrett errs in one major point. I did not do the cartoon to, in her words, ‘make light’ of the situation. I did it to fight a reprehensible situation with the editorial cartoonist’s weapons of ridicule and contempt. To call criticism of thuggish behavior a ‘slap in the face’ to all good teachers is to stand in solidarity with the thuggishness. Is that what a teacher ought to want to do?

I hope not.” O Contact Don Lee on Twitter @DonLeeCartoons n POUNDS CONTINUED FROM 3 This mess was made by USIC Locating services. A USIC representative said the paint can be washed off with hot water and will fade within a few weeks, but there are lines on the street itself that have been tread upon by thousands of tires and you can still see them clearly.

My friend Bill Kline at The Blarney said, “The paint they’re using seems to be permanent. There are types of paint that are temporary, and it doesn’t seem like they’re using those. It just looks terrible. It just looks bad. They spent money on those new bricks, and now they’re covered in paint. I think that if they could find something more temporary, it wouldn’t be so much of a problem. Who knows when they’ll come out here to dig? They could do a little bit better job of managing when

those are marked. It’s unsightly.”

Doug Stephens, commissioner of the city’s Division of Engineering Services, said about the spray paint, “We know it happens. Sometimes we don’t like that some of the pavement get marked up, but ultimately it should dissipate and be gone. We understand that utilities are required to mark that up under the Ohio Utilities Protection Service.”

Between the city, the Downtown Toledo Improvement District and my fellow Downtown business owners, there needs to be a discussion to keep this unnecessary mess from staining our sidewalks when we should be at our cleanest and most presentable.

There are not a tremendous number of resources for parents raising kids who may be gender nonconforming.

Many sources immediately assume a deviancy or mental illness. One of the bravest and most reassuring voices addressing this journey belongs to Lori Duron, an Orange County, California, mom whose son C.J., 7, is the subject of her blog and book, “Raising My Rainbow.” She details the fears, joys, triumphs and setbacks of raising “a boy who only likes girl stuff and wants to be treated like a girl.”

While our Sean is not as far down that path as C.J. is, Duron has served as an advance guide for us, her honest reporting giving us some idea of the obstacles and trials ahead.

Duron was a guest on a broadcast of the WSPD radio show I co-host, “Eye on Your Weekend,” and we discussed her progress and the attention her blog and book have garnered.

Duron said C.J. often got hand-me-down toys from his older brother but never expressed excitement about Hot Wheels or Legos or action figures.

“He found a Barbie I had, and that was the day he came alive,” she said. “I thought it would be a phase but it wasn’t.

That was the day he started liking ‘girls’ stuff.’”

The arbitrary labeling of colors and toys as “girls’ stuff ” is problematic, but fighting societal definitions is like joining King Canute in ordering back the sea, as Duron has experienced.

“It was jarring to see our 3-year-old boy playing with girls’ toys, though I hate that term,” she said. “It felt off. My husband and I talked about it a lot and whether it was a phase. What we realized is that what we were worried about was what other people were going to think and say. But you can’t parent like that. You can’t parent based on the reactions of strangers. We are here to love him not to change him, but it took us a while to get to that point.”

Duron said the blog and book give her a forum to react to and discuss the issues without subjecting C.J. to exposure.

“Online, I’m an adult,” she said. “I can choose to respond or ignore things. But in public, when someone has a reaction to my son’s painted fingernails or wearing a tutu or playing with a doll, it’s a much different reaction I have to

The crux of Duron’s philosophy is boiled down to a single statement in her book, ‘Your sex is in your pants, your gender is in your head and your sexuality is in your heart.’”

have, because my son is watching. He’s like a little sponge.

I can be dismissive or ignore it. We are working to build a confident person who understands not everyone will like his style.”

C.J. has free rein at home to dress and play as he wants to, but Duron said he is starting to recognize the pressures society has in store for him. She recently wrote that he no longer takes his pink monkey lunch box to school because a brown paper bag garners less attention.

“He chooses to self-edit when we leave the house,” she said. “Which makes me sad, but it’s protection and I understand that. Some days he feels comfortable going out rocking whatever clothes he chooses.”

Duron said there has been school bullying and community members who accuse her family of not being “good Christians” or decent parents.

“We have dealt with it and I know there is more to come,” she said.

The crux of Duron’s philosophy is boiled down to a single statement in her book, “Your sex is in your pants, your gender is in your head and your sexuality is in your heart.”

What I believe Duron is teaching C.J., and we are teaching Sean, is that as long as you are being true to yourself and not hurting anyone, it’s no one’s business what’s in any of those three places.

Warehouse District thriving, growing after years of effort

By Jordan Finney

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer jfinney@toledofreepress.com

“If you don’t think Downtown Toledo has sex appeal, then drive around Levis Commons or Easton and ask yourself, ‘Aren’t they making a pretend Warehouse District?’”

Hugh Grefe, executive director of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, spoke at a May 27 event recognizing May as National Historic Preservation Month. He speaks for a growing Downtown community that has witnessed revitalization in the area’s economic and social life over the past few decades.

The Warehouse District grew out of a 19th-century community called Port Lawrence that was founded near the Maumee River. By 1823, it comprised

June 1, 2014

two log warehouses and a few houses at the corner of Monroe and Summit streets, according to the Toledo Warehouse District Association (TWDA).

Today, it boasts more than 700 residents, 60 new businesses and has become the choice location for the future plans of several local giants, including the Toledo Mud Hens and ProMedica.

The Warehouse District encompasses 44 blocks, with its northern border at Monroe Street. More than 40 of its mostly 19th-century buildings have been renovated into new hotspots thanks to the “heart, blood and tears” of the community, according to TWDA President Diane Keil-Hipp.

“When you walk on the same floors as people did 100 years ago, there’s something really special about it,” Keil-Hipp said. n WAREHOUSE CONTINUES ON 7

n WAREHOUSE CONTINUED FROM 6 “We’re part of their legacy and we have an obligation to preserve their heritage. Preserving these buildings is like making a greater statement that there is larger context for people’s lives.”

Keil-Hipp, who works Downtown, said witnessing the renovation of these buildings and the revitalization of business life “has been something

really cool to watch.”

“The best thing about the Warehouse District is how it happened one by one as individual investors saw opportunities,” she said. “That’s why it’s so sustainable — people are personally invested in these buildings. It’s not government just coming in and overhauling everything block by block.”

TWDA is an entirely volunteerbased nonprofit that advocates on be-

half of its approximately 60 members, who have privately invested in the Warehouse District, either as business owners or residents.

“We’re all about resurgence living,” said Kathy Steingraber, former TWDA director.

“We’re sending a strong message to college graduates: You can have it all here in Downtown Toledo, you don’t have to live in New York City.”

TWDA collects dues from its members to pay for promotions and websites, Facebook advertising and some neighborhood events.

It also secured a role in the Overlay document that Toledo City Council passed in January, which requires anyone who wants to renovate a building to “run their plans through the architectural review committee for approval,” Keil-Hipp said.

“You can’t be the suburb of nothing,” said architect Paul Sullivan, a member of that review committee. “We’ve redeveloped Downtown in a methodical, sensitive manner. There’s real power in preservation. It’s crucial to keep our heritage intact for many reasons, not the least of which is the quality of life we share. There’s a meaning to the story we have down here.”

Sullivan also said that historic preservation is about sustainability and choosing the “green option.”

Every time a small Downtown building is demolished, it negates the efforts of recycling 1.34 million aluminum cans.

Keil-Hipp said TWDA’s vision since the 1990s for the Warehouse District has in part been to “return to

When there were seven

Downtown in 1988, there was no Fifth Third Field or St. Clair Village — or much of anything except a host of vacant buildings in disrepair.

That’s when native Toledoan Bob Seyfang bought the Bakery Building, a 1900 construction that his grandfather used to own.

“I came home one day and my wife told me our house was sold and we were moving Downtown. We had 13 weeks,” Seyfang said. “But we saw the potential. It was a risk all right, but we knew what we wanted and we just waded into it.”

Seyfang and his wife were the sixth and seventh of only seven people living in the Warehouse District in 1989. n WAREHOUSE CONTINUES ON 8

a truly urban neighborhood that encourages a harmonious blend of residential, commercial, retail and service components (and) to create an environment to work, live and visit that is unlike any other.

“When I read that statement today, I think, ‘We’re here. We really did it,’” she said.

n WAREHOUSE CONTINUED FROM 7 Seyfang operated his architectural firm from the Bakery Building’s first floor for the next 10 years.

“We had so many economic slowdowns but it didn’t matter because our vision was strong and we knew it would happen,” Seyfang said. “That’s not to say I didn’t lose a few night’s sleep over this, but it’s a slow, evolving thing. When the economy was good, things were good and when it wasn’t, things weren’t. That’s how it goes.”

Renovating the Bakery Building was a seven-year project for the Seyfangs, partly because of its “pretty rough shape” and also because the three-story space boasts eight residential units, five commercial units and indoor parking.

“In the ’20s and ’30s, Downtown was run by numerous CEOs of locally owned businesses. They were benevolent dictators in a lot of ways,” Seyfang said. “They loved the city, put roots down here with their families, and could raise $15 million amongst themselves for a project no problem.

That’s all gone now.”

Seyfang stressed the importance of “thinking ahead” if local residents want Toledo’s Warehouse District to continue growing.

“Remember what we had in the past, but move forward with it,”

GLaSS city. OUR city.

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com Seyfang said. “That’s what young people are doing. Hopefully every one of them will have the same happy story that we do.”

He said Downtown will need to maintain a strong business retention network, encourage its young people to start investing money in the area and consider new construction projects, not just renovation of older buildings.

“We also need to start thinking beyond the Warehouse District because we can’t grow this neighborhood forever,” Seyfang said. “But we can help other districts by sharing our story.

We can also tell them that we’ve created something unique for Toledo — and they should come and enjoy it.”

Living Downtown

Today there are more than 700 people living in the Warehouse District and the number continues to grow. TWDA member Richard Rideout moved to South St. Clair Street nearly 12 years ago and said he is proud to be part of the growing Downtown population.

“People ask me about moving to the suburbs and I break out in hives.

Not really, but you know what I mean,” Rideout said. “To me it offered a blank slate, an opportunity to do something different. I like the concept of living close to work. I don’t want to waste time commuting every day.”

When Rideout bought his building, the entire third floor — where he now resides — was totally vacant except for a “collection of dirt, odds and ends, and windows totally covered in plywood.” But he doesn’t regret the decision at all.

“I love my home and I feel much safer walking around Downtown than Franklin Park Mall,” Rideout said. “Keep looking for the Warehouse District to grow at a much more rapid pace than what it’s done in the last 10 years. In fact, I’m going to guess our residency will double in the next five to 10 years.”

Valerie Garforth said she remembers exactly what the “wasteland” of the Warehouse District was like when she and her husband came to Toledo in 1998.

“Every year since, something wonderful has happened Downtown,” she said.

Garforth does not live in the Warehouse District, but owns two apartment units Downtown where she rents about 50 spaces.

“We bought these as investments and they lost value with the economic downturn,” Garforth said. “However, they’re picking up again and we manage to rent them continuously without vacancies.”

A native of Brussels, Garforth said she hopes to see the Warehouse

District “take off ” the way downtowns in Europe have.

“Brussels is very middle class, a smaller version of Paris really. The apartments are there, restaurants around the corner, supermarkets, parks, an exercise circuit — just everything,” Garforth said. “I’m used to the idea that people can live in a close urban environment quite happily together.”

Garforth said “a real turnaround” for Downtown would be if the retail stores came back to the area and people with disposable income could shop and have a place to wander around.

“We used to live in Minneapolis where there’s a thriving downtown and department stores connected with skyways,” Garforth said. “People leave their office buildings for lunch and its like being in a greenhouse. That’s my dream for Toledo.”

Working Downtown

In less than three decades, the Warehouse District has welcomed 60 new businesses and seen a 111 percent spike in real estate value compared to an average 5 percent increase in real estate value in Lucas County.

Ron Novak, owner of Downtown Latté for four years and a resident of the Warehouse District for eight years, said he really enjoys living and working in the area.

June 1, 2014 “The biggest difference I’ve noticed from working Downtown is the diversity of people,” Novak said. “I see businesspeople, retirees, families and artists. You don’t get that anywhere else in Toledo.”

Like Novak, Audrey Ackerman was really impressed by the growth of the Downtown area. Ackerman, who recently opened Floral Pursuit, Downtown’s only flower shop, nixed her plans to work from home when she saw a vacant space in St. Clair Village.

“You can definitely see the city opening up and it’s crazy to be part of all these people trying to make it grow,” Ackerman said. “I’ve met so many people who are showing that there are things to do here in Toledo.

You just have to explore, go out and not be afraid to walk around.”

Steingraber, a landlord at St. Clair Village, said she thinks younger people like Novak and Ackerman are the future of the Warehouse District.

“I love all the young people coming in. I try to give them as much support as I possibly can,” Steingraber said.

n WAREHOUSE CONTINUED FROM 8 In addition to the emergent economic recovery story, Downtown businesses have the added advantage of being part of a tight-knit community that has members who invest in each other.

Jules Webster, owner of The Art Supply Depō, said the Warehouse District has always been a community, but “it’s growing leaps and bounds.”

Community

A Toledo tradition since 2005

“We refer our customers to a lot of businesses close by and they do the same for us,” she said. “There’s still a lot of available spaces and room for growth. We’re all looking forward to see where this goes.”

Webster said that the character of her renovated building on South St. Clair Street draws people from around the area to her art store.

“We appreciate the old architecture and tradition instead of the newer

construction and strip malls that don’t have an inspiring style,” Webster said.

“I would definitely say it adds to the business. People who come are often willing to travel more than 30 or 45 minutes. They’re enchanted by the development of these older buildings.”

Mud Hens President and General Manager Joe Napoli said with the flurry of commercial activity, payroll in the Warehouse District averaged about $12 million last year, “up from virtu-

ally nothing.”

“We’re headed in the right direction.

Your community gets measured by a lot of aspects, including its urban core,” Napoli said.

“We’re close to NAPOLI that tipping point where this is going to become a very special place to live and work.”

The Mud Hens’ Downtown development project, Hensville, and the relocation of ProMedica’s corporate offices to Downtown are “catalyst projects” that will spark a “wildfire of new growth” in the Warehouse District, Steingraber said.

The Mud Hens plan to transform two or three 19th-century buildings on South St. Clair Street that have been vacant for more than 30 years into an entertainment district called Hensville.

“We’ll do street festivals, food, music concerts, arts — whatever the community would support,” Napoli said. “Hensville’s an $18 million to $21 million investment that’s part of the entire dynamic of living and working Downtown.”

Napoli said Downtown Toledo already attracts 800,000 people to its streets annually and he expects to see an extra 100,000 to 125,000 people visit Downtown once Hensville is fully operational.

“It would be easier and less expensive to knock the buildings down, but Joe [Napoli] is dedicated to preserving the fabric of the neighborhood,” said architect Tom Porter, who is working on the Hensville project. “I think too many people just come in and knock buildings down. There are some

things you just can’t duplicate.”

ProMedica agrees with the Mud Hens’ philosophy for urban development.

The company is “very serious” about relocating its corporate offices for 700 employees to the old steam plant adjacent to the Key Bank building on Summit Street across from Promenade Park, said Robin Whitney, ProMedica vice president of property acquisition and development.

“The steam building is a historic brick, beautiful structure and we are committed to making this move work,” she said. “Anything we can do to promote more people coming Downtown is a great win for our city.”

ProMedica’s spike in its number of employees over the past few years has forced it to buy and lease several buildings in Toledo, scattering its corporate offices throughout the city.

“We don’t feel like it’s efficient to be so spread out,” Whitney said. “We want to consolidate everyone into one space because if you’re working closer to people, then you’re more collaborative. Toledo is our community and it’s important to have a vibrant Downtown.

We want to be part of the revitalization.”

ProMedica has not established an official timeline for the move because it depends on its ability to receive historic and new market tax credits. However, its “optimistic timeline” would be to break ground next summer and complete the renovation project in 2016.

“What we’re doing is helping revitalize that office component,” Whitney said. “Maybe our moving Downtown will spark interest for other companies to want to move their office spaces.

Once that happens, Toledo will have all the components of a revitalized Downtown: residential, dining and entertainment, and office and business. That will be a picture of real success.” O

Area brides bring new life to old gowns

By Sarah Ottney TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

When Alyna Hinsch of Fremont walked down the aisle last month, her something old and something new were wrapped up in one piece — her wedding dress, which had once belonged to her husband’s late mother.

“When I was thinking about what kind of dress I wanted, I knew I wanted something different and unique that nobody else would have,” said Alyna, 25, who married Corey Hinsch, 24, on April 26 in Port Clinton. “My father-in-law offered me the old dress and then I got the idea to transform it into a new dress.”

Alyna’s father Paul Rash, whose mother taught him to sew as a boy, did the alterations. He stripped the dress to its original bodice and then rebuilt it into his daughter’s dream dress, trading the puffy sleeves and high neckline for an A-line style with a sweetheart neckline.

Corey’s mom, Carol Hinsch, died not long after the couple started dating.

“I only got to meet her a few times, but everyone that knew her always

talks about how nice of a person she was and very caring,” Alyna said.

Corey said it meant a lot to him that Alyna wore the dress.

“It was very special,” he said. “It made me feel like my mom was there.”

Alyna’s advice to other brides looking to wear an heirloom gown is to make sure they allow enough time for alterations. It took her dad about a month, finishing the week of the wedding.

Amanda Taylor, 23, of Genoa isn’t engaged yet, but already knows she wants to wear her mom’s dress — minus the puffy sleeves — for her wedding someday.

“It would help us save money to start our lives without spending hundreds if not thousands on a dress,” Taylor said.

At least four of her mom’s cousins and friends have also worn the dress, but without altering it.

“I can tell how excited she gets when she tells me the stories of their wedding days wearing it,” Taylor said.

“I imagine on my wedding day it will be even more special.

“I look at my mom’s marriage and want what they have. Being kind of superstitious, I see it like a good luck

charm. We will probably bawl our eyes out. I think it will be cool for my dad too, to see me all grown up in my mom’s dress.”

Phyllis Sheets, owner of My Shop on Rugby Drive, an alterations and upscale resale shop in South Toledo, said nostalgia, not cost savings, is the main reason to wear an heirloom dress.

“Every dress is unique, but most of the time they could have bought a dress for what it costs [to make the alterations],” said Sheets, who has worked as a seamstress for more than 40 years. “It’s not necessarily going to save you money.”

The most common changes are to sleeves and necklines, Sheets said.

Lisa Boyd of East Toledo turned her wedding dress into ring bearer pillows and garter belts for her three daughters, Melissa Kepler, 24, of Curtice who married in 2010, Melanie Minnick, 27, of Oregon, who married in 2012, and Kelli Patay, 21, of Toledo, who is planning a wedding for 2015.

“In her opinion, the dress was just collecting dust and to take the material and use it for the pillows and garter belts was a unique way to recycle the dress,” Minnick said.

Above left, Alyna Hinsch of Fremont on her wedding day, wearing her heirloom dress with husband Corey and her parents Paul and Yvette Rash. At right, Alyna in her mother-inlaw’s original dress. PHOTOS COURTESY ALYNA HINSCH “They were originally made for Melissa, but Kelli’s and mine were made at the same time, too. For me, my wedding colors were added with

ribbon later to personalize it. It was really creative and a great way to incorporate the ‘something old’ into my wedding day.” O

First impressions

I

t’s said that first impressions are everything. So why is the wedding invitation — the first impression guests receive — becoming substandard?

I can understand both sides. As a planner, I know many couples have budget concerns. But as a guest, there is nothing more disappointing than flimsy card stock, a rushed handwritten address and Scriptina font.

“They just end up tossing it anyway” — I BRITTANY can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that.

But actually, the invitation often gets hung in the kitchen or tucked into a daily planner.

It’s looked at repeatedly with anticipation.

As stationery designer Kim Collins of Fiddle Stix Boutique at Levis Commons says, “The wedding invitation sets the tone for the entire event and helps give the guests an idea of what to expect. If a bride is having a gorgeous, extravagant wedding but sends something that looks less than impressive … guests are not going to anticipate something as extraordinary as they should.”

Beautiful is more affordable than you think. Referring guests to a wedding website for more information cuts down on clutter and costs, Collins suggests. Postcard response cards are another cost-saving tip. Always request to see and feel a card stock sample. Lighter stock is often eaten up

by the postage machines and arrives to your guests torn or marked. One way to avoid this is to also handstamp invites at the post office. Always bring a completely assembled invite when buying stamps to make sure you have enough postage.

Carrying consistent fonts, colors and design through your wedding programs, escort cards, menus, table numbers and signage gives the event an overall appearance that CRAIG is more memorable and enjoyable. But don’t be afraid to assemble these items yourself. “This takes a little bit more time for the bride, but it saves on the cost of the vendor’s assembly process,” Collins said.

If you cannot afford hand-addressed calligraphy, opt for having a stationery designer print the addresses with a font that matches the invitation suite, suggests Kelly Henry, stationery designer and owner of UpperCase Designs in Toledo. Then dress it with beautiful stamps.

The wedding invitation doesn’t have to be a budget-bleeder. And it doesn’t have to be dull to be affordable. With a little personal style and attention to detail, you will be sure to excite your guests! O

Local wedding planner celebrates 20 years in business

By Sarah Ottney TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Whether it’s a last-minute vendor cancellation, a broken-down limo, the guest who brings an unexpected plusone or red wine stain on a white dress, Bee for the Day owner Brooke LauberCobb and her team of 16 “bees” have the solution to any wedding emergency.

The Archbold native has been in the wedding coordinating business for 20 years.

“I like the anonymity of being the person who takes care of problems behind the scenes,” Lauber-Cobb said.

“The feeling of accomplishment you get when you solve a problem and no one else even knows you’ve done it. It’s such a rush.”

For most of her career, LauberCobb did wedding planning on the side, but about four years ago, she started operating Bee for the Day full time, drawing on her past experiences in political and nonprofit fundraising, 911 operations, catering, waitressing, event planning and the criminal justice field.

“I’ve always been in problemsolving positions and in the service industry,” she said. “We really try to stay ahead of any problem that’s going to come up. We want to be your problem-solving people.”

Bee for the Day is the only local company that specializes solely in wedding planning, Lauber-Cobb said. Day-of coordination is the most popular service. Bees can also accompany clients to vendor meetings, offer vendor recommendations, help decipher contracts, tweak invitation wording and more. Bee for the Day also collects information from each vendor and organizes all the schedules into one master schedule.

The average cost of Bee for the Day services is $1,500 to $2,500, said Lauber-Cobb, who bills by the hour.

“The biggest false statement about wedding planners is that you can’t afford it,” Lauber-Cobb said. “Honestly, I think you can’t afford not to.”

Coordinator Heather Bertz, who has been with Bee for the Day for seven years, said it’s satisfying when a client — often the father of a bride trying to rein in the budget — decides the expense was worth it.

“My favorite part of the night is when dad comes up to me and says, ‘I thought my wife was crazy for hiring you, but I am so glad you were here to spend the day with us. You were the best money I ever spent,’” Bertz said.

Bee for the Day is based in Perrysburg, but coordinators will

travel anywhere. The company has done weddings in Columbus, Chicago, Las Vegas, Hawaii and more. Bee for the Day coordinated 75 weddings in 2013 and 50 in 2012.

On the recommendation of a family friend, Marybeth Monaghan Hughes of San Diego and her mom

n BEE CONTINUED FROM 14 “I wasn’t ever walking around and bumped into them, but it seemed like throughout the evening, the second I felt I needed anything, one of them was right there ready to help,” Hughes said.

They averted a food allergy issue, fixed a problematic bustle and had dry socks ready for the groomsmen after a snowball fight photo op. The bees also loaded the centerpieces, brushed snow off the vehicles and

had them warmed up and facing the exit, Hughes said. Monaghan said the bees allowed her and her husband to enjoy the reception.

“Instead of having to check on every little detail, we were able to enjoy our party,” Monaghan said. “I’m sure we could have managed the day without her, but it wouldn’t have been nearly as enjoyable or run as smoothly.”

Two years ago, Lauber-Cobb launched Bee for the Day sister com-

What to know about diamonds

O Cut: The cut refers to the proportion and finish of a diamond. A fine piece of rough diamond will only look beautiful when handled by a master cutter.

O Clarity: The clarity refers to the internal and external imperfections of a diamond. The clarity is determined by different types of “inclusions” and the size, nature and location of the inclusion.

O Color: While every diamond has its own personality, diamonds will range from colorless (void of all body color) to slightly saturated to highly saturated in body color.

O Carat weight: This has to do with the physical weight of the diamond. If a diamond is well-proportioned, it will display the most beauty.

O Environmental and social conscience: Responsible diamond sources do not harm the environ-

ment or abuse their workers in the process of mining.

O Qualifications: Trusting a professional such as a certified gemologist (American Gem Society) or a graduate gemologist (Gemological Institute of America) verifies the value of the diamond and allows consumers to purchase high-quality diamonds with confidence. O — Source: Harold Jaffe Jewelers

Local entrepreneur transforms barn into new wedding venue The Stables

By Sanya Ali Toledo Free Press Staff Writer sali@toledofreepress.com

Many brides plan their weddings with a theme. Some pick a flashy night at the casino. Others opt for the elegant Cinderella story. For brides with a more down-home personality, a night at a classic barn is the fantasy.

Area brides with the latter vision are in luck. Duke Wheeler, owner of Wheeler Farms, recently purchased and opened The Stables, which he calls an ideal location for brides who want a classic outdoor venue. The property is located on Obee Road in Whitehouse and can accommodate up to 320 people.

Christy Geha, Wheeler’s daughter and manager of The Stables, describes the location as “natural and rustic.”

Wheeler said he agrees and appreciates the forest setting surrounding the old blue barn.

“Out the west side you’re looking at Oak Openings, which is a very beautiful, natural setting,” Wheeler said. “We have Swan Creek meandering through the property and about 8 acres of land with the grass blowing in the wind. It’s mostly natural. We’re just trying to care for it and restore it to a beautiful stable, as it was once before.”

Wheeler said he’d rarely visited the site before making the purchase four months ago, but he enjoyed

looking onto the property from his business next door.

“I always admired it from the street because [the former owners] took good care of it,” Wheeler said. “There’s a lot of white fence and it looked so clean. It’s just a pretty place.”

Wheeler said he hopes brides will appreciate WHEELER the beauty of an evening at The Stables. He said celebrating at the outdoor venue can really make an event special.

“You can stand on the property, whether on the front, back, sides GEHA and you look out and you just see nature,” Wheeler said.

“The sunsets out the west side are just beautiful. You can just admire what God’s created, and I think that’s the most beautiful thing.”

According to Geha, Wheeler decided to purchase the land when it went on the market because he worried a potential new owner’s intended use for the property would not be in line with his own familyfriendly business model.

“It was going up for sale and he had heard that it might become a shooting range,” Geha said. “Once he heard that, he was concerned because it was right

by The Butterfly House and corn maze.”

Geha said family entertainment and education are key components of Wheeler’s business strategy. Though this new venture is not educationfocused like some of their previous projects, she hopes the entertainment factor still exists.

“We just want to have celebrations,” Geha said. “My parents are very into family-oriented activities and they thought this beautiful, rustic setting would be perfect for celebrating any type of event.”

Geha said her family hopes to incorporate the Whitehouse community and its businesses to make The Stables a popular location for all kinds of celebrations.

“When people rent The Stables for gatherings and celebrations, we hope our guests will consider using local bakers, florists, restaurants, caterers and bands,” Geha said.

Geha said the venue places no restrictions on food and decor.

“They can bring in their own caterers. They can bring in their own decorations,” Geha said. “There are a lot of benefits to offering off-site catering there. You have the whole gamut of companies to choose from.” n THE STABLES CONTINUES ON 17

A Toledo tradition since 2005

Lily Tomlin to sock it to Ann Arbor for June 14 show

By Vicki L. Kroll

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer vkroll@toledofreepress.com

It’s not every day that the party to whom you are speaking is Lily Tomlin.

One ringy-dingy and she was on the line.

The comic reminisced about character building, which began when she was growing up in Detroit.

“In the old apartment, there were

so many different kinds of people.

Some were very educated, and some were totally not educated. Some were really political; some were radical, conservative, apolitical. It’s dazzling when you get to be with and get to see a lot

of really disparate humanity,” she said.

“I was mad to get inside every apartment. I used to say I played the room; whatever they were doing, I threw myself right into it so I wouldn’t seem out of place.”

Listening to Tomlin talk is like eating cotton candy — sweetly addictive. That fast-paced patter hints at the speed of her creative mind.

“We all shared the same backyard, so there was a lot of community there, too. And I was forever putting on a show and imitating the neighbors and my family,” she said during a call from her Los Angeles home.

“I’d imitate my father coming home from drinking on the weekend and not be able to hang up his clothes and make them stay on the hanger,” she recalled. “I would add magic to my show. I would dance the ballet. I would tell jokes I saw on television. I would wear my mother’s robe like an evening dress. … It was just a mélange of all that.”

She laughed and added, “Detroit is my touchstone; it’s where I got so much of whatever it is I am.”

What isn’t Tomlin? The comedic legend is known for an array of characters — Ernestine, the snooty, snorting telephone operator; Edith Ann, the precocious 5-year-old in the giant rocking chair; Lucille the Rubber Freak; Trudy, the bag lady. She’s also a Grammy Award winner for her comedy album, “This Is a Recording,” a two-time Tony Award winner for “The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe” and a lifetime achievement honor. As an actress she received an Oscar nomination for her supporting role in “Nashville” and starred in “9 to 5,” “The Incredible Shrinking Woman,” “All of Me” and “A Prairie Home Companion.” She’s a sixtime Emmy Award recipient whose television work includes “The Magic School Bus,” “Murphy Brown,” “The West Wing” and “Malibu Country.”

Millions met Tomlin in 1969 when she joined the cast of “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In.” “I didn’t go in until the third season.

The show was a huge hit,” she said.

No pressure.

“When I took Ernestine to the show, I had never seen her on tape; I’d only done her in my act, so it was the first time I got to dress her,” Tomlin said.

“I go into the costume room and Ernestine’s outfit was almost hanging there! It was providential,” she said.

“First, I see this ’40s blouse with puffy sleeves, a nice simple, white businesslike blouse. Then that salmon skirt was there and big black patent-leather belt.”

Ernestine was at the switchboard

in October, but the show didn’t air until December, Tomlin said.

“That night [the show] went on the air and I tell you, on Tuesday morning, she was a star. It was phenomenal. …

She’s still immensely popular in that age group that’s ever been exposed to ‘Laugh-In.’ ” Tomlin will bring Ernestine and others to an 8 p.m. June 14 performance at the University of Michigan’s Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor. Tickets range from $35 to $55. The show is part of the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, A2SF.org.

“It’s my form of stand-up, like on my back porch except I don’t do magic tricks anymore — although I could,” she joked. “It’s character-driven; it’s very informal. And I use video to sort of satirize myself and to give some comedic history about the character.”

Soon she will revisit the past and team up with “9 to 5” co-star Jane Fonda for a Netflix comedy, “Grace and Frankie,” set for release in 2015.

“The starting date is getting closer and closer, so you get more and more nervous because you have so many choices to make about your character,” Tomlin said. “I start thinking: How am I going to embody Frankie? How can I make her unique? How can I make her just the right melding of stuff?”

Finding the right mix in love hasn’t been a problem since she met writer Jane Wagner in 1971; the two married last year.

The recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor would love to return to Broadway.

“I’ve spent all the years after [‘The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe’] trying to get [Wagner] to write a new play. Some writers are compulsive; they just have to write.

Jane doesn’t have that problem,” Tomlin said and laughed. O

Old West End prepping for annual festival June has arrived, which means it’s time for summer and the 43rd annual Historic Old West End (OWE) Festival, set for June 7 and 8.

People eager to partake in the festivities can visit the beer and entertainment garden from 6-11 p.m. June 6 at the Agnes Reynolds Jackson Arboretum at the corner of Delaware and Robinwood avenues.

The official kickoff to the festival is the King Wamba

The tradition of the King Wamba parade started 105 years ago so local dignitaries could welcome guests from sister city Toledo, Spain, said OWE Festival committe member Josh Thurston. It was dropped at some point and then picked up again in the late 2000s, he said.

The parade’s grand marshals will-be the firefighters of Toledo Fire and Rescue Station No. 17. O — Danielle Stanton

Pride events an opportunity for fun — and remembrance

S

ince 1970, LGBT communities all over the world celebrate June as Gay Pride Month to commemorate the Stonewall Riots of 1969 that sparked the gay rights movement in America. We come together as one alongside our allies to educate and cel-

ebrate love, acceptance and diversity of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

As you come out and celebrate, don’t forget the struggles and strife those before us have endured as they strove for our equality, acceptance and

legal rights. We have come a long way in the 45 years since the Stonewall Riots but we still have a long way to go.

Here is a list of gay pride events in the tri-state area that run from late May all the way into September.

Happy Gay Pride Month, everyone!

Toledo Free Press STAFF WRITER sali@toledofreepress.com

Music can be a powerful motivator for veterans. A guitar is one of the few nonessential items allowed in a war zone, so occasional evening gatherings spent listening to original songs are considered a treasure to many soldiers stationed across the globe.

The strength gained from music is what led to the creation of Operation Encore by U.S. Air Force veterans Rob Raymond, Chris Kurek and Erik Brine. Brine said they had many reasons for founding the organization, but the main goal was to showcase veteran talent.

“We were trying to provide a venue and opportunity for veteran singers and songwriters who can make original music to collaborate and share their experiences and their stories with the larger veteran population and the public,” Brine said.

Brine, a presidential management fellow at the Office of Management and Budget in Washington, D.C., said the overwhelming support from the veteran community inspired them to donate a portion of their future proceeds to other organizations.

“We know there are a lot of veterans organizations out there, over 52,000 now,” Brine said. “A lot of them are great, some of them are not so great.

We want to highlight the ones we think are especially good. That’s just one small way we think we can give back.”

The funds will be divided amongst

Veterans unite to record fundraiser CD

organizations like the Dog Tag Bakery, the American Legion and Student Veterans of America.

Toledoan Matt Stake, member of the Ohio Air National Guard, performs two original tracks on the CD. Stakes said he hopes the CD shows the population how musically gifted his fellow veterans are.

“You’re usually pretty limited when you go to some of these places,” Stake said. “One of the things you can take is an acoustic guitar. The biggest thing is we wanted to share great music for the world and get recogni-

tion for some of the talented, great folks that are out there.”

Stake and 10 other musicians recently gathered at a house in Phoenix to work on Operation Encore with Brine, Kurek and Raymond.

“Between music sessions and doing interviews for a documentary, we would do live shows every night,” Stake said. “No one wanted to leave because you had 13 people sitting in this living room with mandolins and acoustic guitars and acoustic bass guitars. It was amazing.” n ENCORE CONTINUES ON 26

26 Community n ENCORE CONTINUED FROM 24 Stake described a similar scene he often encountered while deployed in the Middle East: officers in their downtime gathered in a common space or around water pallets, pulling out their guitars and singing from their hearts.

Brine said music was a powerful motivator for him.

“Music played a big part in my life and served a big role for me, whether I was getting myself psyched up to fly into a combat zone or when I was just deployed,” Brine said. “Any time you’re deployed, time stands still. You get lonely.

Music always helped me feel better, helped me feel closer to home and felt like I was there for a reason.”

Stake said he finds songwriting inspiration when he is away from his wife.

“When I write it’s about missing my wife or something like that,” Stake said.

“One of the songs was written when I went down to New Orleans, when I was down on Bourbon Street. The signature drink was called ‘hand grenade.’ I was

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com sitting down there, the sun was shining, I was looking at Lake Pontchartrain and I was thinking, ‘This is awesome.’ The only thing missing was my wife.”

Stake said a running joke between him and his wife is that, because he is an F-16 maintenance officer and a pilot for small six-wing aircrafts, he would probably get lost if he flew the larger planes on his own. He reflects this sort of experience within his songs.

Stake said each track on the CD touched him, but his two favorites were Raymond’s “Slipping Bonds” and Stephen Covell’s “Sand Hills to Sandals.” Covell’s piece brought tears to Stake’s eyes, and for that reason, Stake said he will not listen to Covell’s other track until he is emotionally prepared.

The CD will be released sometime in the fall. More information is available on the Operation Encore website, operationencoremusic.com. To donate to the Kickstarter campaign, go to https://www.kickstarter.com/ projects/operationencore/operationencore-music-by-military-veterans before June 5. O
