Candidate forum

T

here is less than a month before the Sept. 9 primary to determine which two people will face each other in the November race for Toledo mayor. Toledo Free Press and WNWO are teaming to present an opportunity for voters to access the candidates and present questions in person.

The Northwest Ohio Conservative Coalition (NWOCC) is hosting a mayoral candidate forum from 6-8 p.m. Aug. 26 at the Toledo-Lucas County Main Library’s McMaster Family Center, 325 N. Michigan St. The evening will be moderated by Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller and WNWO News Director Jim Blue.

The forum will feature Thomas F. Pounds all seven candidates on the ballot — Mayor Mike Bell, Councilman D. Michael Collins, Opal Covey, Alan Cox, Michael Konwinski, County Auditor Anita Lopez and Councilman Joe McNamara — giving them each a chance to outline their platforms for the audience and BLUE then take questions from the audience.

This is an opportunity for voters to speak directly to the candidates and seek answers to their questions about running the city. More information may be found at www.nwocc2.eventbrite.com.

City Council Candidate Night

NWOCC is also hosting a Toledo City Council Candidate Night moderated by Fred LeFebvre of 1370 WSPD, from 6-9 p.m. Aug. 29 at Colonial Banquet & Event Center, 140 New Towne Square Drive.

A number of candidates have not responded to the NWOCC’s invitation to attend. Shaun Enright, Jack Ford, Joshua Fowler, James Martin, and Alfonso Narvaez, please contact me via email and I will connect you with the event organizers. O

Opinion

n MILLER CONTINUED FROM 3 The impact of such presentation would be best discussed another time, but I can at least trace the source point for my fascination with women and guitars, women in denim and women in uniform. While the photos were the siren call that led to my sneaking peeks at the issue whenever I could, it was three collections of words therein that created a seismic shift in my cultural and career orientation.

Each of the three articles that changed my direction are highlighted on the cover: “An exclusive interview: JOHN LENNON and YOKO ONO on love, sex, money, fame and ALL about The Beatles” is text wrapped around Ms. Bach’s gauze-embraced right hip. On her left hip are the words, “STEPHEN KING on horror and everyday life” and “Plus, fiction by RAY BRADBURY.” By 1981, I was a confirmed and devout Beatles fan. I had slowly saved money from mowing lawns and during the course of two years, acquired several Beatles albums from Woolworth at Woodville Mall. My mother already owned “Abbey Road” and “Let It Be,” and I filled in everything from “Meet The Beatles” to “Revolver,” “Rubber Soul” and beyond. I had read a few books from the library, but pre-Internet, did know that much about the group and its enigmatic leader, John Lennon. Lennon had been assassinated in December 1980, and it hit my mother and me like a hurricane of grief and outrage. The January 1981 Playboy went to press before his death, and when I found it, it was like a communication from the man himself. The interview, brilliantly conducted by David Sheff, walks Lennon and Ono through an update of their lives, focusing on their about-to-be released album “Double Fantasy,” interspersed with comments about life in the world’s biggest band. But the heart and soul of the piece is a long stretch in which Sheff simply names a Beatles song and Lennon discusses its origin and impact. The two go back and forth like tennis players, illuminating dozens of songs.

“PLAYBOY: ‘Yesterday.’

“LENNON: We all know so much about ‘Yesterday,’ I have had SO much accolade for ‘Yesterday.’ That is Paul’s song, of course, and Paul’s baby. Well done. Beautiful — and I never wished I had written it.”

It goes on like that for thousands of words; Lennon, candidly offering creative glimpses of “A Day in the Life,” “Strawberry Fields Forever” and a litany of others. It is fascinating journalism, compelling as a historic document and a glimpse at Lennon’s ego and artistry. It was the first time I recognized journalism as a tool for unlocking mysteries and I was immediately and forever hooked. To this day, Sheff ’s interview stands a touchstone of rock criticism and reporting.

Just as impactful to me was Stephen King’s long essay “Why We Crave Horror Movies,” which, although I did not know it at the time, was an excerpt from his nonfiction criticism book “Danse Macabre.”

At the time, King was best known for “Carrie” and “The

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com Shining,” neither of which I had read. But I was struck by the tone, humor and authority of his essay in Playboy, which walks the reader through the distinction between “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” which King describes as “art,” and “The Horror of Party Beach,” which he describes as a “pathetic little wet fart of a movie.”

It’s not poetry, but it is effective description. Here, again, was journalism of pop culture (although King’s work is more academic than Sheff ’s) and I was blown away by the fact that these men were apparently being paid to write about music, movies and the things they loved. I eventually began reading King’s novels, but it was “Danse Macabre” I tracked down first, and that remains his most influential and resonant work for me.

The issue also contains a brief story by Ray Bradbury, “Heart Transplant,” which follows two adulterers who make an unlikely wish after a tryst. I had not yet discovered Bradbury, but the following paragraph unlocked the potential of the English language for me as definitively as the naked women on the surrounding pages awoke their own special desires: “He awoke for no reason except that he had had a dream that the Earth had shrugged, or an earthquake had happened 10,000 miles away that no one felt, or that there had been a second Annunciation but everyone was deaf, or perhaps it was only that the moon had come into the room during the night and changed the shape of the room and changed the looks on their faces and the flesh on their bones, or perhaps it had rained all night and now had stopped so abruptly that the quick silence had stirred his eyes wide. In the moment of opening, he knew the streets were dry, there had been no rain. Only perhaps, some sort of crying.”

The possibilities of language demonstrated by Sheff, King and Bradbury served as a launching pad for my own life of words, and while my efforts fall short of their lofty achievements, I cannot imagine my life without the years of trying to get to where they were when I met them sometime in 1981.

I am not sure what the element of the forbidden nature of the Playboy added to the impact of its articles, but I have never once been ashamed of my love for the works of Lennon, Bradbury and King.

And while I would never leave my $1 flea market copy of Playboy lying around for my sons to discover, I do wonder what touchstones of life, love, sex and art are waiting for them, and what will form their sensibilities and tastes, and what will impact them enough that they still remember it when they start to approach 50. They could do a lot worse than Lennon, Bradbury and King, even if they have to navigate the complicated waters of Miss January to discover them. O Michael S.

POLITICS

By Bailey G. Dick

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer bdick@toledofreepress.com

Alan Cox is sitting at his kitchen table. His teenage son wanders in and out of the room for snacks, while his dog paws at his leg, begging for attention. His wife Tracy walks by with a basket of laundry, insisting that no one can see without the lights on.

The only thing that might give away that the Cox household is preoccupied with something other than the day-to-day concerns of family life is the massive stack of handmade spreadsheets detailing the intricacies of the City of Toledo’s budget.

Cox said he spends his evenings crunching numbers, preparing for the possibility that he will be elected mayor of Toledo.

Cox, a union president and neighborhood development specialist with the city, is a numbers guy. He worked in banking for 13 years, as well as in financial assistance with the city’s Department of Neighborhoods. He has been planning a run for mayor in hopes

of revamping the way the city spends.

“I’ve been looking at budgets for years. That’s the financial geek in me,” he said.

And when asked what his dream for the city was, Cox said, “I’d like the city to have a little more of a reserve in its rainy day fund.”

But what makes Cox unique isn’t his focus on finances, or even that he wants to cut spending. Cox, who hopes to be elected to the most powerful office in the city of Toledo, envisions the mayor as a much less powerful individual.

No more strong mayor

Toledo has been a strong-mayor city for the past two decades, and holding the office brings a lot of power to the person elected. But Cox believes the charter that describes the mayor’s responsibilities doesn’t see the mayor that way at all.

Cox believes one possible solution is to implement a city manager form of governance, similar to the one the city has used in the past. n COX CONTINUES ON 7

n COX CONTINUED FROM 6 He said the position would provide more accountability.

“There are problem areas in our structure in the charter as it stands now. And I think city manager is a way we could address that. But if not, we need to change some things because we don’t have adequate checks and balances on the strong-mayor form of government we have now,” Cox said.

As the president of the union serving the city’s supervisors, technical and professional workers, Cox said those in managerial positions for the city have concerns that aren’t being addressed.

“The most important thing is to empower the managers and the directors to determine what needs to be happening,” Cox said. “In one sense, it shouldn’t look that different because

it’s all going to be internal. But the directors will know. They’ll have more authority. The employees will know that they’re more involved and that they’re participating in the issues and the successes of their departments.”

Cox said he hopes to eliminate some management positions, which would result in a slight reduction of “unnecessary layers” of staff. He said the restructuring of the city’s workers

is his primary goal, with the implementation of a city manager being a long-term goal.

“Going back to a city manager is probably the long-term solution because we haven’t really seen the type of people we need to be electing,” Cox said. “In a city manager, you go out and hire a professional. What we’ve had is politicians who are trying to become or demonstrate professional leadership skills, and it hasn’t happened.”

In Cox’s vision of the city manager, the person chosen would be a professional appointed by Toledo City Council, who could serve without term limits. Toledoans would still choose an elected mayor under his proposed form of government. Cox said the city manager could be held more accountable by voters, as well as other elected officials.

Cox said he still plans on being a strong mayor if elected, but says that modifications are needed to the office to ensure that it is run as dictated in the city’s charter.

Evaluating the city

Cox said that overall, he gives Toledo a C grade.

“Average isn’t bad. It doesn’t mean we’re doing a bad job, but it doesn’t mean we’re doing as well as we could,” Cox said. “I want us to be a B or an A city. That’s what leadership needs to do.”

Cox said for the city to make the grade, he would focus on three main points: schools, safety and jobs.

School smarts

Cox said he hopes to implement partnerships between schools and local businesses to help improve the city’s educational systems.

“One of the biggest obstacles in the schools is the involvement of parents. We could work with businesses to encourage their employees to be involved in their students’ lives,” Cox said. “It doesn’t need to interfere with business, but addresses that need. Sometimes parents feel they don’t have the opportunity or right to be involved in their kids’ lives.” n COX CONTINUES ON 8

Community

n COX CONTINUED FROM 7 Cox said he believes the education system is a major reason why many families are leaving Toledo for the suburbs, but that a quality educational system is what draws businesses in.

“We need to ask how the city can help and be involved. Is it a perception problem? Are there some real issues?

Are there things we could be doing a little bit better? It could be something as simple as city employees going and tutoring,” Cox said.

Safety plan

An issue on most voters’ minds this election is safety. Cox said that solving a major issue like violence isn’t possible with just one idea.

“I don’t have all the answers as mayor. It’s how you pull people together as mayor for solutions and partnerships,” Cox said.

Cox said he hopes to reinstate rehabilitation programs for minor offenders that have been cut due to a lack of funding. He also hopes to implement programs for members of gangs, led by ex-gang members in order to steer them away from a life of crime.

“Gang members are going to be receptive to former gang members.

All it is is a matter of coordinating and supporting these programs with resources,” Cox said. “We’re never going to get rid of gangs and all of these things completely, but there are different ways of approaching it. The way I understand it, a gang is a family. How do we show people there are other family options or opportunities?”

Cox said it’s also important to let Toledoans know about the strides the city is making in becoming safer.

“If we aren’t showing them the positive changes, why wouldn’t they be afraid?” Cox said. “If we have some good things going on in gang control, why aren’t we talking about it?”

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com “It frustrates me when people try and make it look like a city issue. This last economic problem we had was an international economic problem, and it hasn’t totally gone away,” Cox said. “Unfortunately, those that are in the political environment want to talk about it as something they have control over. The only control we have is over that small piece of it we can impact.”

Cox said the creation of small- and medium-size businesses in the area can be used as a marketing tool to promote the city, and that he would also like to see the government promote businesses unique to Toledo.

Cox’s campaign

This isn’t Cox’s first time running for mayor. In 1997, he ran against five other candidates, but didn’t make it past the primary. He said he is confident he will be more successful this time.

“Sixteen years ago when I ran, I managed to get about 18 percent of the vote. That was with a brochure and talking to people directly, and having an understanding of management and leadership. Now, I have an even better understanding of management and leadership,” Cox said.

He also said those 16 years have given him another tool he is using in his campaign: the Internet.

“Social media and the Internet have opened up a whole new opportunity to educate the public, to inform the public in a way that’s extremely low-cost,” Cox said. “I’m going to be able to put my commercials right on the Internet. I don’t have to spend a ton of money putting them on TV. If people want to be informed, they can be. And it won’t be intrusive.”

While Cox said he has been successful in connecting with voters via the Internet, he hasn’t been as successful in connecting with the other candidates, or with many media outlets. He said he believes they don’t see him as a “viable” candidate.

When contacted by Toledo Free Press, fellow candidates Mike Bell, Anita Lopez and Joe McNamara all declined to comment on Cox or his campaign.

Councilman D. Michael Collins, another mayoral candidate, called Cox, “a very principled and totally honest individual.”

However, Collins said he doesn’t think Cox is ready to be mayor yet.

“I do believe that while he has been employed with the City of Toledo and has supervising responsibilities, as well as being the president of the union, he has demonstrated that he is knowledgeable of the city,” Collins said. “But having come from a similar background, I don’t know that that knowledge of the city would lead into the ability to serve as mayor at this time. I hope his interest in politics over time would remain, and at some point in time he would be a very effective mayor.”

Cox said he is frustrated with the way he’s been perceived so far.

“I’m being written off. I’m not playing the political process the way that all of the experts are saying it needs to be done, or that you have to have a ton of money you throw at it,” Cox said.

Cox said the union he is president of is supporting Lopez in the election.

“I know I’m not going to get my union support unless I make it

through the primary. They told me they support me, but they endorsed Anita,” Cox said. “They’re being more politically focused than focused on the well-being of our union members and the citizens we serve.”

With little major support, Cox is relying on grassroots fundraising and his own money to fuel his campaign.

“The signs and so forth, that’s our family’s finances on the hook here.

Tracy and I, we started off saying that we’d make a commitment of no more than $1,000. We’d still like to be at that point, but right now, we’re over $10,000 in personal investment because that’s how much we believe in it,” Cox said. “It’s one of the realities we keep struggling through, but our faith helps us tremendously.”

Plans for the future

Cox said that if he doesn’t become the city’s next mayor, he won’t seek office again in four years.

“I don’t know how many times I want to beat my head against the wall. If the citizens can’t get it, or I don’t know the way to communicate with them, maybe it’s not the calling I thought it was,” Cox said. “This is no desire toward getting into the political arena.”

But that doesn’t mean the campaign trail hasn’t been a meaningful journey.

“I’m learning about my own strength and perseverance, and becoming even more convicted of my value systems. I’m learning some personal humility,” Cox said. “I am being reminded that I’m still very frustrated by the political environment.

“And I’ve learned about tweeting and Facebook,” he added. O

Creating jobs

While job creation is another talking point each of the city’s mayoral candidates are addressing, Cox believes that the city they all hope to run plays a minor role in bringing jobs here.

“The city needs to support those that are actively involved in economic development, but we don’t actually create jobs other than in city government,” Cox said. “We do make sure that there are good processes in place to make sure that those who do want to open businesses are getting the support they need and we can make sure that any of the government processes in that are not obstructive.”

Cox said he doesn’t believe the city is doing a bad job with economic development, but it could be doing better.

He also said some of the city’s economic woes aren’t specific to this area.

A DIFFERENT KIND

OF TREATMENT COULD HELP YOU FIND

OSTEOARTHRITIS

KNEE PAIN

RELIEF. Ask your doctor about Synvisc-One, the #1 prescribed viscosupplement in the U.S.1

The only viscosupplement providing up to 6 months of osteoarthritis knee pain relief with just one injection.*

Indication Synvisc-One® (hylan G-F 20) is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics, e.g., acetaminophen.

Important Safety Information for Synvisc-One Before trying Synvisc-One, tell your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face, tongue or throat, respiratory difficulty, rash, itching or hives to SYNVISC or any hyaluronan-based products. Should not be used in patients with an infected knee joint, skin disease or infection around the area where the injection will be given, or circulatory problems in the legs. Synvisc-One is only for injection into the knee, performed by a doctor or other qualified health care professional. Synvisc-One has not been tested to show pain relief in joints other than the knee.

Tell your doctor if you are allergic to products from birds — such as feathers, eggs or poultry — or if your leg is swollen or infected. Synvisc-One has not been tested in children (≤21 years old), pregnant women or women who are nursing. You should tell your doctor if you think you are pregnant or if you are nursing a child.

Talk to your doctor before resuming strenuous weight-bearing activities after treatment. The side effects sometimes seen after Synvisc-One include (<2% each): pain, swelling, heat, redness, and/or fluid build-up in or around the knee. Tell your doctor if you experience any side effects after treatment with Synvisc-One. *As shown in a medical study comparing Synvisc-One to an injection of salt water.

A natural substance that lubricates your joint to relieve osteoarthritis knee pain

Patient Information Be sure to read the following important information carefully. This information does not take the place of your doctor’s advice. If you do not understand this information or want to know more, ask your doctor.

Glossary of Terms Hyaluronan (pronounced hy-al-u-ROE-nan): is a natural substance that is present in very high amounts in joints. It acts like a lubricant and a shock absorber in the joint and is needed for the joint to work properly. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: also known as “NSAIDs”; medication used to treat pain or swelling. There are many examples of NSAIDs, including (but not limited to) aspirin and ibuprofen. Some of these are over-the-counter drugs, and some can be obtained only by prescription.

Osteoarthritis (pronounced OS-te-o-arth-RI-tis): (OA) is a type of arthritis that involves the wearing down of cartilage (the protective covering on the ends of your bones) and loss of cushioning fluid in the joint.

What is the Synvisc-One® product?

Synvisc-One is a gel-like mixture that comes in a syringe containing 6 mL (1½ teaspoon) and is injected into your knee. It is made up of hylan A fluid, hylan B gel, and salt water.

Hylan A and hylan B are made from a substance called hyaluronan (pronounced hy-al-u-ROE-nan), also known as sodium hyaluronate that comes from chicken combs.

Hyaluronan is a natural substance found in the body and is present in very high amounts in joints. The body’s own hyaluronan acts like a lubricant and a shock absorber in the joint and is needed for the joint to work properly.

How is the Synvisc-One® product used? (Indications) The FDA-approved indication for Synvisc-One is: Synvisc-One is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative nonpharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics, e.g., acetaminophen.

How is the Synvisc-One® product given?

Your doctor will inject Synvisc-One into your knee.

Are there any reasons why I should not receive a Synvisc-One® injection?

(Contraindications) Your doctor will determine if there is any reason why you are not an appropriate candidate for Synvisc-One. You should be aware that Synvisc-One: • Should not be used in patients who have had any prior allergic reactions to Synvisc, Synvisc-One or any hyaluronan-based products. Signs of an allergic reaction may include swelling of your face, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing or swallowing; shortness of breath; wheezing; chest pain; a tightness in your throat; sleepiness; rash; itching; hives; flushing; and/or fever.

• Should not be used in patients with a knee joint infection, skin disease or infection around the area where the injection will be given, or circulatory problems in the legs.

What should my doctor warn me about?

The following are important treatment considerations for you to discuss with your doctor and understand in order to help avoid unsatisfactory results and complications: • Synvisc-One is only for injection into the knee, performed by a doctor or other qualified health care professional. Synvisc-One has not been tested to show pain relief in joints other than the knee.

• Synvisc-One has not been tested to show better pain relief when combined with other injected medicines.

• Tell your doctor if you are allergic to products from birds such as feathers, eggs, and poultry.

• Tell your doctor if you have significant swelling or blood clots in the leg.

• Synvisc-One has not been tested in pregnant women, or women who are nursing. You should tell your doctor if you think you are pregnant, or if you are nursing a child.

• Synvisc-One has not been tested in children (≤21 years of age).

What are the risks of getting a Synvisc-One® injection?

The side effects (also called reactions) sometimes seen after any injection into the knee, including Synvisc-One, include: pain, swelling, heat, redness, and/or fluid buildup around the knee. These reactions are generally mild and do not last long. Reactions are generally treated by resting and applying ice to the injected knee. Sometimes it is necessary to give pain relievers by mouth such as acetaminophen or NSAIDs, or to give injections of steroids, or to remove fluid from the knee joint. Patients rarely undergo arthroscopy (a surgical inspection of the knee joint) or other medical procedures related to these reactions. Other side effects seen with Synvisc or Synvisc-One are: rashes, hives, itching, muscle pain/cramps, flushing and/or swelling of your face, fast heartbeat, nausea (or feeling sick to your stomach), dizziness, fever, chills, headache, difficulty breathing, swelling in your arms and/or legs, prickly feeling of your skin, and in rare cases a low number of platelets in the blood (platelets are a type of blood cell that are needed to help your blood clot when you are cut or injured). Rare cases of knee joint infection have been reported. If any of the above side effects or symptoms appear after you are given Synvisc-One, or if you have any other problems, you should call your doctor.

What are the benefits of getting a Synvisc-One® injection?

As shown in a medical study of 253 patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, where approximately half received either a single injection of Synvisc-One or an injection of the same volume of salt water (a “Saline Control” injection), the major benefits of SynviscOne are pain relief and improvement in other symptoms related to OA of the knee.

What do I need to do after I get a Synvisc-One® injection?

It is recommended you avoid strenuous activities (for example, high-impact sports such as tennis or jogging) or prolonged weight-bearing activities for approximately 48 hours following the injection. You should consult your doctor regarding the appropriate time to resume such activities.

What other treatments are available for OA? If you have OA, there are other things you can do besides getting Synvisc-One. These include: Non-drug treatments • Avoiding activities that cause knee pain • Exercise or physical therapy • Weight loss • Removal of excess fluid from your knee Drug therapy • Pain relievers such as acetaminophen and narcotics • Drugs that reduce inflammation (signs of inflammation are swelling, pain or redness), such as aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, for example ibuprofen and naproxen) • Steroids that are injected directly into your knee When should I call my doctor? (Troubleshooting) If any of the side effects or symptoms described above appear after you are given Synvisc-One, or if you have any other problems, you should call your doctor.

What did the clinical studies show?

A study was conducted in 6 countries outside the United States with 21 physicians. The patients in the study had mild to moderate knee OA, moderate to severe pain, and did not have sufficient relief of their pain and symptoms with medications taken by mouth.

A total of 253 patients in the study were assigned by chance to receive either a single injection of Synvisc-One (n=123 patients), or an injection of the same volume of salt water (a “Saline Control” injection) (n=130 patients). Neither the patients nor the doctors evaluating them knew which treatment they received. Any fluid that was present in the patient’s knee was removed before the injection. The patients were seen by their doctor at standard times over 6 months. Information was collected about how much pain they were experiencing doing various types of activities, how much they were limited in their daily activities by their OA, and on their overall condition. Their doctor also provided an overall rating of their OA. The main measure of the study was how much pain the subjects had doing five common types of activities over the 6 months duration of the study. Daily activity limitations and overall evaluations were also compared between the group of patients receiving Synvisc-One injection and the group receiving salt water injection. The study showed that patients receiving Synvisc-One had significantly less pain over 6 months, and felt significantly better than the patients who received the salt water injections. The difference in pain score reduction from baseline to 6 months between the Synvisc-One and salt water control injection was 0.15 out of a 5 point scale for the measurement of OA pain in the knee.

What adverse events were observed in the clinical study?

The following are the most common adverse events that occurred during the clinical trial of Synvisc-One: • Pain in the knee or at the injection site • Stiffness, swelling or warmth in or around the knee • Changes in the way that you walk (e.g., limping) Severe adverse events were not observed in the Synvisc-One trial. Joint infections did not occur in the injected knee in the Synvisc-One clinical trial. The most commonly occurring adverse events outside of the injected knee were headache, back pain, sore throat and the flu. One patient had a single episode of feeling faint.

Food For Thought is looking for restaurants to join in a food fight.

To recognize National Hunger Awareness Month, Food For Thought will host an initiative to fight local hunger with Food Fight 419. The project will include restaurants in the Toledo area donating 5 percent of their one-day sales to Food For Thought.

The all-day event will be Sept. 24.

“I am bringing awareness back to National Hunger Awareness Month,” said Chief Thought Officer Sam Melden. “We want to get the word out even more about hunger in the community and what Food For Thought is doing to try and feed Toledo.”

Melden is looking to get at least 50 restaurants involved. For any busi-

ness looking to join the fight, Melden asks they email him at sam@feedthe hungry.org or call (419) 972-0022.

Food For Thought is a local social justice organization “dedicated to feeding the hungry and offering dignity … to anyone in need.” It was formed in 2007 when the group would feed eight families a month in Downtown Toledo. By 2008, the group was feeding 200 families a month. According to its website, the organization is more than feeding the hungry, “it is about building relationships.” “[Food For Thought] is trying to feed people in a thoughtful way,” said Melden, who organized the highly successful Jam City event earlier this year. “With Food For Thought, it’s more about eye contact than it is about full stomachs; it’s more about handshakes than it is about handouts. Food is a vehicle to making simple, digni-

Over the next few weeks, you are sure to hear about how WNWO is forcing Buckeye Cable to increase your cable bill.

Truth be told, your cable bill increases because of the lavish amounts Buckeye Cable spends for cable networks that few people watch. The majority of your cable money leaves Toledo for companies that have no vested interest in our community. WNWO wants to be treated fairly. We want to continue providing local jobs, paying local taxes, delivering local news and severe weather warnings, while involving ourselves with community based groups, charities and events.

Tell Buckeye you want to keep your NBC. Call 419-724-9802 and let your voice be heard. n

Sam Melden is Chief Thought Officer of Food for Thought.

to the tournament at 9 a.m. Lunch will be at 1:30 p.m. on the course.

Cost for a group of four is $320.

Lunch is $30 per person.

The event has raised more than $7,000 each year and has so far provided scholarships for four students, said Pat Moon, Brahier’s mother and the foundation board president.

“Response to the golf outing has been exceptional,” Moon said. “And we always have plenty of volunteers — people who can’t play golf but just want to be a part of raising funds for the foundation. I find this inspiring and awesome and I am humbled by their love for Nate.”

The Blarney Irish Pub owner Ed Beczynski, who was friends with Brahier, said he hopes everyone will consider participating in the tournament or contributing to the foundation.

“Not only are you helping young people through scholarships, you will be able to join in on the celebration of

“ The Chamber cultivates leadership in young professionals. EPIC Toledo connects us with other emerging business and community leaders. We have a voice in the future of a region we want to stay in and contribute to.”

Nate’s life,” Beczynski said. “He was someone who you couldn’t help but like. His death was very hard on all of us, friends and family included. To be able to continue honoring him in this way means the world to me. The money raised is used to fund scholarships for students who embody the

same ambition and zest for life that Nate had.”

Another local scholarship in Brahier’s memory was recently established through the Terra College Foundation at Terra State Community College, which Brahier attended, Moon said.

Brahier, a mechanical design en-

gineer at Conforming Matrix Corporation, was killed returning from a business trip on March 29, 2011, in Monroe County.

A Toledo tradition since 2005

Sylvania Township Police reach out to neighborhood children Special to Toledo Free Press news@toledofreepress.com

ters Shyla, 4, and Aliya, 2, on Aug. 14.

Laden with pretend officer badges and plastic handcuffs, they came to reassure the girls, daughters of Howard and Tara Ice, that police officers are nice, friendly and available to help whenever needed.

“It’s important that kids are com-

fortable with police officers. Like I was telling them, we’re kind of the exception to the ‘stranger danger’ rule.

I want them to feel comfortable to [approach] us if they for some reason get separated from their parents or whatever reason, so we can make sure

they’re home safely,” Mussery said.

This past spring, the girls and their caretaker, Paulette Bucher, were playing in the front yard of their home when a police car drove by. The girls became a little uncomfortable. “[Police officers are] kind of frightening to little kids. They’ve got this uniform, the kids hear that police take you to jail, so they were kind of standoffish,” Bucher said.

She had recently been trying to teach the girls that police officers are helpful and friendly to children, so she seized the opportunity and urged the girls to wave and say hello.

“I said, ‘I bet if you wave, they’re gonna stop and talk to you.’ And I really pumped it up, because they’re nice and they love kids,” Bucher said.

Shyla and Aliya stayed at the curb and waved fanatically. Unfortunately, the officer did not stop or wave as the car went by, causing the girls to wonder if police officers do indeed love kids, as their caretaker had told them.

The sisters were heartbroken and disappointed, so Bucher reached out to her daughter-in-law, Henson, who then organized the visit. She and Mussery came as representatives of the

police force, but also came to be role models for the girls as female officers.

“We just thought it would be so cool since we had a female police officer, to come for these two little girls and make a personal stop here for them,” Bucher said.

Although they were shy at first, the girls soon realized that the visitors meant no harm. They asked questions, took pictures with them and even got a chance to sit in the police car and turn on the lights. Both girls shrieked with delight as the officer let them switch on the sirens.

“I protect you from the bad guys,” Mussery told the girls and their cousins, who had come to join in on the fun. “If you’re scared and you can’t find your parents, we’ll help you.”

Mussey, Henson and Bucher shared a common goal: to demonstrate that police officers don’t fit the scary stereotype at all, but are pleasant people who can be counted upon for help — especially by children. “[I want them] to be comfortable around police officers and [know] that we’re good people, we’re the good guys and to know who to go to,” Mussery said.

Weight-loss surgery helps Toledo fight obesity

By Sura Khuder

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

For three months, Erin Silveous had what seemed like a chronically runny nose. Along with extreme vertigo, dizziness and persistent migraine headaches, the 41-year-old dialysis technician found herself seeking medical advice from countless spe- SILVEOUS (BEFORE) cialists until a correct diagnosis could be made.

Her condition, doctors later discovered, was called pseudotumor cerebri and what was running out of her nose wasn’t from a sinus infection or a cold, it was cerebral (brain) fluid.

What the Swanton resident first thought would be cured with a head or neck surgery, was in her case treated through bariatric surgery. Silveous had never before considered the weight-loss surgery, but at that point it was her last option. If she didn’t have

the surgery, her physician warned her, she would die.

Referrals for bariatric surgery as a viable treatment for obesity and its comorbidities are so common that Dr. Patrick White, Toledo bariatric surgeon and medical director at ProMedica who performed Silveous’ surgery, said half of his patients are from physician referrals.

More than one third of the U.S. population is SILVEOUS (AFTER) obese according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. With the recent recognition of obesity as a disease by the American Medical Association (AMA), more patients and physicians are seeking bariatric surgery as a viable treatment for obesity and its related problems, particularly Type 2 diabetes.

“Obesity is a growing epidemic in the United States and there is nothing out there as effective as weight loss surgery. There’s no other treatment even for diabetes out there that works

any better than weight-loss surgery,” said Dr. Matthew Fourman, bariatric surgeon at Mercy Weight Management Center.

“It’s not simply that people need to eat less and exercise more. This is truly a disease; there are things going on at a genetic level that we don’t totally understand yet,” he said.

White said the number of gastric bypass surgeries being performed has increased by 300 percent in the past 10 years nationwide.

Dr. Jaime Ponce, current president of the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, said insurance companies have always resisted covering bariatric surgery for patients with severe obesity. He sees the AMA’s recent statement as allowing physicians greater ability to work with insurance agencies to cover the surgery more widely.

The three main surgeries performed nationwide are Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laproscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAP-BAND), or sleeve gastrectomy.

The gastric bypass is considered a malabsorptive procedure where there is some rerouting of the small

intestine to limit the amount of calories absorbed. LAP-BAND and “the sleeve” are considered restrictive surgeries where the size of the stomach is reduced to hold as little as 15 milliliters, or the size of a small shot glass.

Fourman said LAP-BAND surgeries are less popular and sleeve is becoming more popular. “[It’s] gaining popularity probably because it works really well,” he said.

“The weight loss is better than the LAP-BAND and it’s not quite as much surgery as the gastric bypass.”

Eighty percent of the surgeries White performs are gastric bypass and 20 percent are sleeve gastrectomy.

The sleeve procedure is recommended for the youngest and oldest patients, while the bypass is best suited for those with Type 2 diabetes or individuals needing to lose a lot of weight, i.e., a body mass index over 50.

The sleeve can be reversed into a gastric bypass if a patient’s weightloss is inadequate. However, there are few fallback procedures for patients looking to reverse a procedure that is not satisfactory and a second surgery comes at a greater risk.

“We don’t have very many fall-

backs from surgical options,” White said. “There is half a dozen different things described that one can maybe try but not all of them work that well.”

Mortality rates for the surgery are low. LAP-BAND surgery has a mortality rate of 0.06 percent, or three in 5,000 surgeries, and gastric bypass has a rate of at 0.16 percent or four in 2,500.

On the other hand, psychological costs for patients may be high, White said. For example, bariatric surgery patients could face issues such as suicide and addiction, particularly alcoholism, because of the high emotional toll the surgery takes and change in intestinal absorption.

Divorce rates are particularly high for patients, especially for women, White said.

Most insurance companies cover the cost of the surgery only if a patient has a BMI higher than 40, or 35 with comorbidity; this includes Type 2 diabetes, arthritis and sleep apnea, among others.

If a patient does not meet these criteria he may still opt for the surgery, however, he would have to complete a payment plan. n SURGERY CONTINUES ON 17

following the post-operation regimen very closely. “When I was out of my surgery I was to the letter,” she said. “I knew I had just come very close to dying. And I wanted to use the new tools that they gave me and learn how to moderate, to learn how to eat better and have self-control, all the things I really felt like I did not have before.”

That is where Ann Loften Rice found herself four years ago. She is now six years post surgery, going from 460 pounds to 280 pounds within eight months.

Rice was driven to pursue the surgery after trying and failing at several diets. She is the regional director for aquatics at the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati, having worked at locations in Toledo for several years.

“A lot of people think of the Y as a gym or as a swim place, so it’s important to look like you work for the Y,” Rice said. “If I were to get heavier than I was, I don’t think I’d be able to do the things as well as I could and train as well.”

Post-surgery, Silveous and Rice saw major changes in their diets, particularly in the portions they were able to eat. these women, foods high 4051 For Devers_VV_Audi_713_Layout 1 6/12/13 12:02 PM Page 1 in

sugar and carbonation aren’t tolerated; neither are rice and tortillas that glutenize in the stomach and are hard to digest.

“You definitely learn when you are full and you can’t ignore that like you can if you hadn’t had the surgery because that ‘one more bite’ is pain or sickness,” Silveous said.

Both women credit their success to following the regimen precisely and having the right intentions heading into the surgery.

Rice said only pursue those completely committed to the diet and lifestyle changes that follow should pursue the surgery.

“If you are doing it just to lose weight or just to find a boyfriend or girlfriend, don’t do it. Because you are going to fail, you are going to be miserable, you’re going to be sick,” she said. “If you are doing it to be healthy and to change your life, those are the reasons why you should.” O

During her years as a fine arts student at Bowling Green State University, Sandy Spang began what she called “a lifelong love affair.”

The object of her affection?

Glass.

Spang, who is running for Toledo City Council, said its focus on glass is one of her favorite things about the city she hopes to represent.

“I love that Toledo is the site for the rebirth of the art glass movement,” she said, speaking of a revival that began on the grounds of the Toledo Museum of Art. “We also have the legacy of being a site for factory glass through Libbey [Glass],” she added.

You could say that Spang, a jewelry designer-turned-real estate investorturned-coffee shop owner, is sort of like Toledo glass.

“I have a business sense, but I also have a sense of the arts and aesthetics,” she said.

Take, for example, Spang’s business card. Her logo, featured of the back of the card, includes a skyline of the city surrounded by shapes representing what Spang believes the city needs to thrive: business and manufacturing, economic sustainability, infrastructure, human capital, natural resources. As she matched the business principles to the corresponding shapes traced in bright green ink, she commented on the logo’s aesthetics.

Plate 21

Currently, Spang isn’t in the studio blowing glass or designing logos. She splits her time between Plate 21, the South Toledo coffeehouse she opened with her husband, and managing the real estate properties the couple owns.

Spang said she has felt the itch to run for office for some time. However, the mother of three said the timing hasn’t been right until now.

“I was encouraged to run when the District 2 position was open several years ago, but I didn’t feel it was the right time for my family,” Spang said.

“Now I have the energy to give back to

“

I love hearing everybody talk about [small business]. But to have firsthand experience is important, to be that person that other small-business owners know they can call if they’re having a frustrating experience with the city government.”

Council hopeful has business, artistic vision for city

— Sandy Spang my city, and I feel my life experiences have prepared me.”

Although she may not have experience as an elected official, Spang said her experience as a small-business owner gives her an edge in the crowded field of 17 candidates.

“I love hearing everybody talk about [small business]. But to have firsthand experience is important, to be that person that other smallbusiness owners know they can call if they’re having a frustrating experience with the city government,” Spang said.

“Something that I’ve learned in business is the importance of customer service. And we need to make that a priority. That’s the face of the city to the customer, and people often have frustrating experiences.”

‘Smart cities’

Also part of Spang’s plan for Toledo is integrating some aspects of “smart cities.” The concept, Spang says, involves, “taking advantage of technology, but also taking advantage of your human capital.”

To make Toledo a “smart city,” Spang hopes to add community amenities like a bike network or a dog park that will attract young professionals.

“These are the types of things that are going to attract this creative class, and that’s really important in today’s and the future’s economy,” Spang said.

“It also has the tremendous benefit of making life better for the people that are already here.”

Spang also hopes that the city will look to the future when deciding on changes to existing city functions.

“One of the most basic missions of local government is to maintain the infrastructure,” Spang said. “It

has to be done with long-range planning. We cannot continue to put good money after bad into projects. We have to take the long view. If we have to go back and sort of undo some decisions of the past, so be it.”

She said she hopes that current Council members would be open to the aspects of “smart cities” that would cost the city more money.

“And the first thing people are going to say is, ‘How are you going to pay for it?’ And that’s where you’ve got to have commitment to a goal, and a long-term improvement,” she said. “It’s really the idea of being smart about using our resources and embracing new ideas in technology, in the context of long-term planning. In their personal lives, people are already utilizing technology. And I think that people are going to recognize the value in the public sector as well.”

Wanting the same things

Spang, who is running for council as an independent, was a registered Republican until 2010. However, she doesn’t want to be labeled by voters.

“But if you want to participate in the primary process during a presidential election, you have to declare a party.

And voting is very important to me,” Spang said. “I think that many of the things that make us a Republican or a Democrat at the federal or state level are not as relevant at the city level. At the local level, we all want the same things.

We want a well-run city. We want infrastructure that runs like butter. We want a clean, efficient water system. We want vibrant local businesses. We want an arts scene. The things we want at the local level cut across party lines.”

As far as her campaign goes, Spang

n

Sandy Spang, co-owner of plate 21, is running for Toledo City COuncil.

said she has relied on a grassroots effort to raise money.

“Especially until the primary, any campaign, especially for a new candidate without party affiliation, is going to be a grassroots effort,” she said.

“We’ve relied on very small donations.”

Support from Ludeman

She said she is counting on support from Toledo City Councilman Rob Ludeman, who grew up in the same neig hb orho o d LUDEMAN as Spang and nominated her for the seat on Council left vacant

by Phil Copeland when he became Lucas County Recorder.

“I think it’ll be refreshing,” Ludeman said of Spang’s potential election. “She would bring that enthusiasm and business perspective. She’s a family person, and I like the family values part of what she stands for.”

While Ludeman sees Spang as a family person, the people who have bought jewelry from her saw her as a designer, and her customers at Plate 21 see her as an entrepreneur, Spang said she sees herself on council as a mediator.

“I’m going to do everything I can do to build consensus,” Spang said.

“I think I can be that pivot point that catalyst in the center so we can actually get decisions made. That’s how I really see myself.” O

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

The inaugural Toledo Pride event took place at Erie Street Market in 2010 and drew about 2,500 people. The following year, it moved to Promenade Park, added a parade and drew about 5,000 people. Last year’s Pride moved Downtown, expanded to three days and drew more than 10,000 people.

This year, organizers are hoping for at least 12,000.

“Everything’s gotten bigger every year,” said Lexi Staples, executive director of the Pride of Toledo Foundation and event director for Toledo Pride. “We’re very excited to be back at Promenade Park.”

The three-day weekend will kick off with the Nite Glo 5K on Aug. 23.

Aug. 24 will feature a parade at noon followed by community vendors, live music and drag performances. On Aug. 25, participants can relax with games and a community ice cream social.

New this year will be Sandpiper Pride Rides on the Maumee River, an inflatable game area and a rainbow tiedye T-shirt station.

Admission is $5 before 7 p.m. and $7 after 7 p.m. After 10 p.m., attendees must be 18 or older or accompanied by an adult. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or in advance at www. toledopride.com.

Parade

This year’s parade will include dozens of floats, vehicles and walking groups, said parade coordinator Torie Thorne. The route will start on Washington Street at the intersection of Ontario Street, cross the Owens Corning bridge to North Summit Street and finish at Promenade Park.

Thorne said her favorite part of Pride is the feeling of community.

“There’s just a different energy at pride parades,” Thorne said. “You can

go there and wear rainbows and people are not going to pick on you. You’re not going to be discriminated against because of who you are. It’s a safe feeling.

You’re the majority for the day.”

Pride also draws thousands of straight supporters, Staples said.

“We have a lot, a lot, a lot of allies who come to everything and support everything,” Staples said. “People who want to be supportive to the community, or have a best friend, or are related to someone — or just want to be a part of the shenanigans we throw down.”

Sandpiper Pride Rides

The Sandpiper will offer four Maumee River boat rides during Pride, leaving from Promenade Park at 3 p.m., 4 p.m., 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. Aug. 24. Each trip will last about 50 minutes. Tickets are $6 and available at Pride or in advance at toledopride.com. The 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. rides will be free for children 12 and younger with the purchase of an adult ticket.

“I have a gay daughter and I’ve always been interested in all the activities that go on [at Toledo Pride],” said the boat’s owner/operator Mary Dalby. “The ride is just a pretty, relaxing ride. It gives people a view of Toledo, which is totally magnificent from the river. I hope they learn something new and I hope they laugh out loud. It’s supposed to be entertaining as well as informative.”

Entertainment

Live entertainment starts at 12:30 p.m. and runs until midnight.

“The goal of this year’s entertainment is that every fourth song, no matter who you are, if you’re a grandma or a little kid or if you’re someone in between, you will be like, ‘This is my jam!’ and you’ll get down,” Staples said. “That way it feels like it’s exciting for everyone.”

This year’s musical headliner is

“He looks really good, he sings really good, he basically to me is like a gay Adam Levine and I’m down with that,” Rabie said. “I’m super excited.”

Other musicians include Calvin Green, Beach and Ferron, Nine Lives, Johnniemae, Casey “3pm” Clark, Noisy Neighbors, The Rivets, Flabongo Nation and Arctic Clam.

This year’s lineup will feature 30 drag performers, the most yet, Staples said. They will be featured between bands, with the main show starting at 9 p.m.

“I’m really thrilled by the amount of response we’ve had from the drag community,” Staples said. “They will be sprinkled throughout the day this year, but everything’s going to be clean. We work really hard to make sure Pride is appropriate for families as well as fun for everybody.”

Several area bars will host afterparties, including OUTSKiRTS, Bretz, R House, Blush and Ripcord.

Nite Glo 5K

Despite the pouring rain, last year’s inaugural Nite Glo 5K drew 150 runners.

Race coordinator Justin Veigel said he’s hoping for nicer weather this year.

“I was very surprised at the amazing turnout [last year],” Veigel said. “It shows what great support we have in Toledo. We are on track this year to have over 200 runners.”

This year’s run is set for 8:30 p.m.

The family-friendly, alcohol-free event will feature music, an ice cream social, carnival games and more. Admission is free.

Friday, Aug. 23rd

“We had a really good response last year — about 150 people and a lot of those people weren’t doubles from Pride,” Staples said. “A lot of people had just come because they weren’t sure if Pride was appropriate for a family. It was really nice to be able to welcome those people into what we’re trying to do and we hope to see everybody at both events this year.”

Volunteers needed

Rabie said Toledo Pride is a special event for many locals.

“I’ve had people come up to me literally almost in tears because they can’t believe this is happening in Toledo, because they are just so happy it’s happening in Toledo,” he said. “Toledo Pride has changed the culture in Northwest Ohio.”

German-American Festival increases shuttle services

By Matt Liasse

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Because the turnout for the GermanAmerican Festival grows every year, organizers are providing more shuttle service. Attendees will be able to take shuttles directly to the festival grounds from nine Toledo locations.

“With increased crowd size comes increased responsibility,” said festival chairman Tim Pecsenye. “We want festivalgoers to have fun, but more importantly we want them to be safe.”

Star 21

A Toledo tradition since 2005

Pecsenye calculated how many people the shuttles can hold and what it would mean if those cars were off the road. He said five or six miles of backed-up traffic can be eliminated.

The eight locations are Bar 145 on Monroe Street; Berger’s Olde Tyme on Laskey Road; Mayfly Tavern and Anchor Inn in Point Place; The Attic on Adams Street and Ye Olde Cock n’ Bull in Downtown; Tres Belle in Perrysburg; the Lucas County Rec Center; and Icons Eatery and Entertainment in Oregon. n FESTIVAL CONTINUES ON 22

Theater League’s ‘Wicked’ flies into Stranahan Theater news@toledofreepress.com

Toledo roots are strong in “Wicked,” currently touring the country.

Approaching its 10th anniversary in October, the show follows two women of Oz before Dorothy ever visited. Unveiling the origins of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good, it will run at the Stranahan Theater through Sept. 1.

Jane Brockman, who plays The Midwife and is an understudy for Madame Morrible, has ties to Toledo. Her father-in-law is a local minister at Collingwood Presbyterian Church.

BROCKMAN “I’m from Pe n n s y l v a n i a ; I’ve gone through Ohio just about every year of my life,” Brockman said. She said she loves what Toledo has to offer, especially the places to eat. She BEEBEE makes it a point to visit local eateries when she visits the area.

“I’m going to go to Gino’s and Tony Packo’s whether I have downtime or not,” she said. “Those are a must.”

Another player with local ties is Company Manager Kevin Beebee, a Bowling Green State University alumnus. He will visit BGSU when the show stops in Toledo to lecture an arts management class. Beebee was in “Fiddler on the Roof ” and “Children of Eden” as a student. He said he has put acting on the back burner because he is enjoying the management side.

The show opened Aug. 14. The final performance is at 7:30 p.m. Sept.

A home for Eliza

Eliza is a 5-year-old female dilute tortie. She was living on the streets, when the Toledo Area Humane Society took her in and gave her shelter. Eliza is a beautiful girl with soft baby fine long hair. She enjoys being held and will cuddle in your arms, purring her appreciation. Eliza doesn’t mind living with other cats and she prefers to sit on the higher perches so that she is sure to be seen when new visitors enter the room.

Eliza has been spayed, examined by a TAHS staff veterinarian, is current on her vaccinations and is microchipped.

The Toledo Area Humane Society is offering $10 cat and kitten adoptions every Thursday during the month of August.

If you’ve been thinking about bringing home a new pet, this is the perfect op-

Eliza portunity to take advantage of the discounted adoption fees.

Toledo Area Humane Society is located at 1920 Indian Wood Circle, Arrowhead Park, Maumee. Adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

It’s surprising to discover strong emotions arising from things that weren’t important in the past. You may have step backward in order to move forward, or seek indirect paths. This process can change goals. Friends share mystic or spiritual interests over the weekend.

Critical choices that came to light in late July swing toward resolution this week. Last-minute changes may be very beneficial for everyone - go with the flow. Connect with a special friend on Thursday. Romance or an otherworldly ambience rocks your world on Saturday.

Mind-blowing information arrives with the full moon. A light appears at the end of a long, dark tunnel after Wednesday.

Women friends give practical advice, but steer clear of a power-hungry individual. New objectives and goals unfold over the weekend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Major projects create a big work load. Duties are gained, removed, revised, or adjusted this week. Drive carefully.

After Thursday, discussions with friends or loved ones aid in clarifying hopes and goals, which are prone to change as new knowledge becomes available.

People close to you make choices with a lack of sentiment that’s unnerving. They’re detaching from the past because they’re moving toward new things. Revitalize your goals and commitments after Thursday. A fresh viewpoint opens new vistas of opportunity.

You can develop clever ways of working within limits this week. There’s an unexpected portal of opportunity that opens midweek, if others don’t distract you too much. After Thursday, pleasurable events lead to mind-expanding experiences with others.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Plans change abruptly under the full moon. Improvements come from outside advisors or multi-disciplinary exchanges.

After Thursday, lessons from the past are a touchstone for current decisions that involve family members. Think carefully and be firm but fair.

You can’t change people who don’t want to change, but you can adjust feelings and attitudes to lower stress and reduce worries. New forms of healing and creative outlets arrive midweek. Latent talents rising to the surface are a source of beauty and satisfaction.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Hidden aspects of personality are discovered this week.

Conversations trigger amazing insights that obliterate imaginary obstacles. New modes of relating help you fulfill desires and create a sense of belonging. Stagnant, frustrating situations become irrelevant.

This is a good week to complete old business and to break free from resource and energy sinkholes. After Wednesday, other people are a source of ideas and inspirations you wouldn’t find on your own. Possibilities for partnerships emerge over the weekend.

Clever people around you have exciting projects or big news.

Conditions around your career or family are subject to swift changes midweek. A woman offers inside knowledge on Thursday. Visions can be realized over the weekend through artistry or special talents.

This summer is a time of intense focus on relationships and developing life plans. Doors of possibility open and close at high speed this week; be ready to think fast on your feet! A generous gift is given on Thursday, but offers on Saturday may have strings attached.

Elizabeth Hazel is a professional tarotist-astrologer and author. She gives readings every Wednesday at Attic on Adams above Manos Greek Restaurant. She may be contacted at ehazel@buckeye-express.com (c) 2013
