Tina Wozniak, President of the Lucas County Commissioners, says that there may be unintended consequences to asking the EPA to declare the Maumee River watershed impaired. She is worried that the declaration won’t have any real effect, and that it could do more harm than good to the local economy. Meanwhile, Commissioner Carol Contrada agrees that the costs of a badly needed new local jail should be borne by the county. Prisoners are the responsibility of the Lucas County Sheriff, she reasons, and thus the county should take full responsibility. And Commissioner Pete Gerken is concerned that the county’s budget has been badly damaged by questionable decisions by Governor Kasich and the state legislature. He has decided to ask the voters for a tax increase to right the fiscal ship.

A matter of trust Oh, wait, that isn’t right. It wasn’t the county commissioners who said all those things. It was leadership of the City of Toledo. Who worry that an impaired watershed declaration would not fix the problem of algae-feeding nutrients coming from the agricultural upstream part of the watershed. And would instead limit the ability of business to locate in the downstream city, and force major investment into the sewage treatment plant, which would have minimal actual impact on algal bloom problems anyway. It is the city who argues that the state constitution dictates that all prisoners, regardless of the jurisdiction that arrests them and under what law, are the responsibility of county sheriffs. And it is the city that notes the millions of dollars siphoned off by the state, which has devastated the city budget. City leadership has asked city voters for a tax increase, and have been repudiated at the ballot box. The county commissioners have taken a stance opposed to the city on the first two issues. Yet it seems that the opinion of the county leaders are rarely questioned, while the stance of city leaders is automatically suspect. What gives? Why does the county automatically have more credibility than the city? Let’s break it down. As the story goes, the county has worked successful

A visit to the award-winning Toledo Zoo, with its outstanding indoor and outdoor enclosures is a great way to spend the day. Here are a few adventures you won’t want to miss.

Indoor Exhibits:The bright, outdoor-like openness of

the refurbished aviary allows you be part of the experience as you walk through the space while birds fly overhead, alighting on branches and greenery. Charts identifying the birds make it fun to locate the various species as they move around the exhibit. The red collared widow bird with its long tail and the blue lacy headed victoria crowned pigeon are real stand-outs. Visit the nursery to see the colorful young birds, especially the purple, yellow and red feathered baby gouldian finches.

You can also visit the new aquarium, an amazing underwater experience. Large tanks stretch from floor to ceiling, and reflections of the water and lighting create the incredible visual sensation that you are actually standing inside the tank surrounded by colorful plants and coral while the fish swim by you. Enjoy the moon jellyfish tank where you can press buttons to change the jelly fishes’ colors. Seek out the seahorse display to watch these odd creatures move gracefully through the water.

Other exhibits not to miss: naked mole rats running mazes in the elephant house, vampire bats hang out in Nature’s Neighborhood’s blue house and the Museum of Science’s cool creepy crawlies like gigantic walking sticks, hairy spiders and other awesome bugs.

Outdoor Exhibits:As you exit the Tempo Trail, look

for the meerkat colony on your way to watch the sleek sea otters dive into the water and swim up to the glass to say hello to you. The underwater viewing of the penguins (Penguin Beach) shows

their grace in the water. Adults and kids can also enjoy some great interactive playtime in the Nature’s Neighborhood tree house. Pause to take in the colony of flamingos (Flamingo Key) that create a breathtaking expanse of bright pink color as they preen and call out to each other around the pond.

You’ll want to visit the beautiful white wolves near the Arctic Encounter before you take the safari railway to get a behind-the-scenes look at some of the animals. Scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend, Africa Expeditions features adventure activities within the Africa Exhibit (giraffe, ostrich and zebra) including zip lining, obstacle course/sky bridge trekking and giraffe feeding (additional fees and reservations required).

The Toledo Zoo 2 Hippo Way (Anthony Wayne Trail Entrance) or 2700 Broadway (Broadway Entrance). January –April 10am to 4pm. May -September 10am to 5pm. Admission: Adults $19, Children under 12 and Seniors $16, under 2 years free. Standard vehicle parking $7. Visit toledozoo.org for info and maps.

economic development deals, most notably the two sports complexes downtown. The county budget is always flush with cash. The county regularly announces new, important programs, like the land bank, poised to revitalize neighborhoods. How have they been so successful, while the city struggles? Is it a leadership deficit?

Commissioners and other mythical creatures Much of the county reputation has been built on myth. Economic development? What about the old Fiberglas Tower, the empty eyesore in the heart of downtown? Where has the county been on that boondoggle for over a decade? And the old Hotel Seagate sits nearby, half of it torn down, the rest thrusting ragged and weary into the sky. Seems there was a miscalculation on the amount of asbestos removal needed. Fifth Third Field and Huntington Center? Undoubtedly they have helped revitalize downtown. Well, half of downtown. Because both facilities, plus the convention center, were placed in ways that cut off through streets, chopping downtown into the revitalizing south side and the struggling area to the north. Budget stability? The county quietly passed a sales tax last year. No, you didn’t vote on it. The county only needs two votes to raise the tax. Two of the three commissioners. In this case, all three said, “Raise that tax!” The city, of course, must take tax increases to the voters. All the voters. A much steeper hill to climb, and the city budget continues to suffer. And the land bank? The county funded that by unilaterally raising fees on land transfers. Two votes needed. The raise in fees passed three to none. The county gets much of its budget from federal and state sources, as a pass through. Most of the rest is from sales and other taxes you don’t get to vote for. Easy to balance a budget when you get to write the blank checks. Why does the county get a pass on all these things? Have they really been more credible? Or is it all just better PR? Ask yourself that next time you look up at the empty Fiberglas Tower. Ask again when you hear the ongoing disagreements between the city and county.

CITY


Ohio Governor John Kasich recently signed a bill that will take $1.3 Million in federal grants away from Planned Parenthood and similar clinics across Ohio— following the wave of anti-abor-tion legislation brought on nationally in recent years by Republican legislatures. How will this legislation affect access to reproductive health care for women in low-income families in Ohio? Where will the money that used to serve Planned Parenthood go? And who pays for abor-tions, anyways?

In recent years, many states across the country have adopted laws that re-strict access to abortion. Ohio, under Governor John Kasich, is no exception. Since taking office in 2011, Kasich has en-acted several regulatory measures that restrict access— with the claimed intent of “protecting women’s health”. Most re-cently in February 2016, Governor Kasich signed House Bill 294, which will divert $1.3 million in budgeted federal grant money away from Planned Parenthood. House Support

With the support of the Republi-can majority in the Ohio House, HB 294 made its way to Kasich’s desk in a 62-32 party-line vote (for a full list of voters in the House, see legislature.ohio.gov), and was signed by the Governor on February 21st, centering the conversation around the bill’s implications for access to repro-ductive health care, particularly for low-income women.

The regulations adopted by HB 294 will require the Ohio Department of Health to “ensure that state funds and certain federal funds are not used either to perform or promote non-therapeutic abortions, or to contract or affiliate with any entity performs or promotes non-therapeutic abortions”. Following the Rules

A nontherapeutic abortion refers to a procedure where the life of the mother is not endangered by the pregnancy— even when the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest. Currently, under Ohio law, a pregnant woman will not have federal funding to support her in getting an abor-tion unless her life is in danger because of pregnancy complications.

The Federal law, known as the Hyde Amendment, already prevents federal dollars from going towards nonthera-peutic abortions. And similarly in Ohio, Revised Code Section 5101.56 mandates that state and local funds cannot be used

for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or in cases where the pregnancy has left the mother in a “life-endanger-ing physical condition”.

Video Fraud in TexasSupport for the bill gained traction

last year when the infamous “Planned Parenthood abortion profit” video was released in Texas by two anti-abortion activists, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt. In the video, the pair posed as

a research company looking to illegally purchase fetal tissue from Planned Par-enthood. After an investigation, a Texas grand jury cleared Planned Parenthood of any wrongdoing and indicted Daleiden and Merritt for using a fake government record “with intent to harm”.

Despite the findings of the Texas grand jury and the evidence of fraud on the part of the anti-abortion activists, John Kasich continues to site the video as one of his reasons for the defunding measures.

“They’ve lost credibility,” Kasich told CNN in a recent interview about Planned Parenthood. “We just can’t operate through that organization anymore. But we’re going to make sure that we have the places where women can go to get the treatment that they need.”

The most notable federal grant pro-gram that Planned Parenthood will no longer have access to the Title X Family Planning Program, enacted by Richard Nixon, intended to provide family plan-ning and health services to uninsured and low-income families. According to the Kasich administration, “The Ohio Department of Health has at least 150 other sub-grantees and contractors for the affected grants and projects that address issues of infant mortality, vio-lence against women, and minority HIV/AIDS.”

But the question remains— what are these sub-grantees and contractors? And what programs do they have in place to address these issues?

Moving Dollars to Federally Qualified Facilities

Dubbed the Planned Parenthood Bill, Ohio’s House Majority Floor Leader Barbara Sears (District 47, which in-cludes Lucas and Fulton counties) ex-plains HB 294 as “A prioritization bill on how we’re going to fund access to services.” She fully supports the bill, say-ing, “Quite frankly, this increases access (to health care) dramatically, because it moves these dollars over to our federally qualified facilities that can apply for the grant funding.” Sears further notes that “We’ve been putting this money into 28 Planned Parenthood facilities around the state. Now, we have the ability to move these dollars to over 250 federally qualified facilities throughout Ohio. This will have the effect of increasing access in both urban and rural areas.” Available Services Unsubstantiated

But one local leader feels differently.“She’s blowing smoke,” claims state

representative Teresa Fedor (District 45). “The centers that she is talking about are fledging, and they were set up really quickly.”

“Low-income families are going to be adversely affected by this,” says Fedor. “Planned Parenthood provides preventative services and reproductive

In February 2016, Governor Kasich signed House Bill 294, which will divert $1.3 million in budgeted federal grant money away

from Planned Parenthood.

health care like birth control, cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment, and they offer many other reproductive health services— it’s a lot more than just abortions.”

According to their 2015 annual report, of all the services offered by Planned Parenthood, abortions are only 3% of the agency’s overall activity. “In fact, the government does not fund abortions,” said Fedor in reference to the Hyde Amendment.

Where Are These Other Facilities?

“Our brand-new site is right next to the Planned Parenthood building” says Doni Miller, CEO of the Neighbor-hood Health Association. This organiza-tion oversees more than ten locations around the city— a number of which are being consolidated as the new facility, Nexus Healthcare, slated to open this summer. The anticipated health cen-ter, at 1415 Jefferson Avenue, is literally across the street from Toledo’s Planned Parenthood, which sits at the corner of Jefferson and 13th.

“We absolutely will fully consider the opportunity for funding when it becomes available. We serve, in essence, the same population, and we’ve been around for about 50 years,” says Miller. She encour-ages anyone in the community to reach out: “Anyone who wants to get connected with us or simply to tour the sites can call my office.”

According to Miller, they “have a really strong women’s health program, and we provide all of the services that Planned Parenthood does. The ability to pay is not a factor. We see absolutely

anybody, whether they have insurance or not.” Unlike Planned Parenthood, Nexus Healthcare does not conduct abortions, but Miller notes that “our local Planned Parenthood doesn’t provide abortions either.”

What about other federally qualified Lucas County facilities? A dental clinic— Neighborhood Health As-sociation Dental— a pediatric clin-ic— NHA Pediatrics; hardly the types of facilities providing services comparable to Planned Parenthood.

Without health insurance, Purtee accessed the services of Planned Parenthood. A few years ago, during a rou-tine exam they found precancerous cells in her uterus:

“After finding some issues with my pap smear, they asked me to get a colposcopy,” says Purtee. “The staff there was very kind. They spoke with me about my options and their funding programs. I was able to get a procedure to remove the cells— which is very expensive without their funding programs.”

Her latest checkup was completely normal. Megan is thankful, saying, “It’s such a relief to have a place like this, and their yearly checkups are wonderful. Who knows what I would have done had they not been around. It’s possible that they helped save my life.” Megan Purtee

A routine exam saved her life.

“I had never been to Planned Parenthood prior to unexpectedly getting pregnant at 22. I had just gotten out of a really bad relationship, and didn’t know what to do. The lady in the of-fice literally held me while I cried…. They of-fered prenatal, OB/GYN, and adoption services information. [They] mentioned options, but abortion wasn’t even one of them. The compas-sion that I received from Planned Parenthood is really the thing that stuck out the most. Many people have a negative perception of Planned Parenthood, thinking that it’s only about abor-tions, but it is much more than that.”Amanda Jo Miller

They helped give birth to a healthy baby.

Limiting Physician Options

Kasich’s bill strictly prohibits the state from contracting services with any organization that performs or promotes non-therapeutic abortions, which means that “qualified facilities” could be defund-ed if they refer women to abortion clinics, or contract with a hospital or physician that provides abortions. This limits the scope of treatment for the patient, and limits a facility’s access to resources and doctors. Despite a doctor’s view on abor-tion, the options of physicians are held

hostage by Kasich’s bill— a doctor sim-ply cannot run the risk of losing funding because of a patient discussion covering all of her options

Additionally, some of these facilities do not have a certified OB-GYN health-care provider on site, do not provide STD testing, birth control, mammograms, nor do they all accept Medicaid. While some of these facilities offer comprehen-sive care, including dental and vision, they do not provide the same scope and depth of women’s health care as Planned Parenthood.

If the Government Doesn’t Pay for Abortions, Then Who Does?

“If a woman wants an abortion she needs to pay for that on her own,” says Nicole Evans, marketing and communi-cations director for Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio. “None of the funds that we receive from the federal government go to providing abortions. So, by cutting these funds, they’re not stopping or curb-ing abortions; what they’re doing is put-ting more women in Ohio at risk.”

The $1.3 million that Kasich will take away from Planned Parenthood, accord-ing to Evans, “was designated for edu-cational programs, including breast and cervical cancer screenings, STD and HIV testing and treatment, our infant mortality program called Healthy Moms Healthy Babies, a personal responsibility program targeting youth, foster care, and judicial systems, and a VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) grant program that teaches young men and women about in-timate partner relationships and setting boundaries.”

These replacement facilities are not equal, and “low-income families are going to be

adversely affected by this”.

Defunding Planned Parenthood will allow for “increased access to health care”.


The National Provider Identifier Database (npidb.org), lists 294 federally qualified health centers in Ohio. Lucas County’s locations include:

Cordelia Martin At Libbey*•Cordelia Martin Health Center*•Daisy Smith Community Health Center*•Huron Women’s Clinic*•Mildred Bayer Clinic*•Navarre Park Family Health Center•Neighborhood Health Association Dental•Nexus Healthcare •NHA Pediatrics•River East Community Health Center•Southside Community Health Center•Toledo Lucas County Health Center•

Of these clinics, only the Toledo Lucas County Health Center, Nexus Healthcare and the Huron Women’s Clinic offer the services of a certified OB-GYN healthcare physician. Most of these clinics offer the NHA’s “Women and Children” program, which includes nutritional support for pregnant women and young children– but does not offer OB-GYN or pharmacy services. While many of these centers offer medical care, they do not all offer services specific to women’s health.

All of these facilities, except for the Toledo Lucas County Health Center, are operated by the Neighborhood Health Association of Toledo.

*Within a two-mile radius of Toledo’s only Planned Parenthood clinic.

Curbing the Infant Mortality Rate

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Ohio is ranked fourth highest, or worst, of the fifty states in infant-mortality rates.

“I don’t think that Planned Parent-hood does anything to lower our num-bers on infant mortality,” says Sears. “We’re already about the worst in the country, with respect to infant mortality. So why would we want to keep spending that money the way we are now when we’re getting such lousy outcomes?”

She also noted that $250,000 of the grant money is being earmarked for an-ti-smoking, birth-spacing, and safe sleep programs— all designed to lower the in-fant mortality rate in Ohio.

“Maybe we need to have a conversation about drug abuse, mental health, or the environment that the baby is being taken home to. Planned Parenthood doesn’t do that,” says Sears. “They help women take preventative measures and they offer health screenings, but they’re certainly not holding your hand when you’re in the delivery room, like they would at a federally qualified healthcare center.”

Planning for ParenthoodContrary to Sears’ view, Evans,

Planned Parenthood Executive, con-tends that Planned Parenthood does have such programs in place. Take, for example Healthy Moms Healthy Babies is “one of Planned Parenthood’s most impressive programs”, according to Ev-ans. This program focuses on individu-ally working with women before, during, and after pregnancy for up to two years.

“The program connects people with vital resources within their commu-nity— it’s like a personal concierge that really helps people through the process,” Evans explains. The infant mortality rate in Ohio is abysmal, and the money that’s being taken out of this program, in par-ticular, is really an encroachment.”

Teresa Fedor believes that “We have

the infrastructure in place with Planned Parenthood as a provider to families, and they’ve been uprooted with nothing substantial to provide the services in it’s place. The centers that she (Representa-tive Sears) is talking about aren’t neces-sarily setup to handle these issues.”

Evans echoes this sentiment: “The reality is that this money comes from the Ohio Department of Health, through to Planned Parenthood. There is an ag-gressive and vigorous process that they use to identify the best provider of care that they’re looking for to fulfill their re-quirements, and year after year the Ohio Department of Health has decided that Planned Parenthood is the most strate-gically positioned healthcare provider to make the best use of those federal dol-lars. They haven’t said publicly exactly how they’re going to fill that gap.”

Some of these programs have been in place for almost two decades. Accord-ing to Evans, “the question is, how is the Ohio Department of Health going to find a replacement? So far no one has been able to answer that question directly. It’s not as simple as reallocating the money

Continuedfromp7

“I did have health insurance, but to get put on birth control I had to see an OB/GYN. It was going to take three months to get in under my insurance provider. Planned Parenthood got me in the day that I called. It was amazing care. Honestly, it felt a little more comfortable because that’s what they specialize in. It wasn’t like at my doctor’s office where they couldn’t care less. What if I thought I had an STD or needed a cancer screening, and I had to wait three months before I could get tested? With Planned Parenthood, you can just make an appointment online, see someone the same day— and you don’t need to have insurance.”

Last November, a pap smear revealed an abnormal biopsy that ultimately turned out to be early stages of cervical cancer:

“Planned Parenthood may have literally saved my life. I was kicked off my parent’s insurance when I was 19, and at the time, they were my only option for routine health screenings. Had I not been able to go there, I wouldn’t have had any other option,” says DeShelter. Thankfully, she now has health insurance and is able to treat the problem. But, had she waited until now to be screened? DeShelter says, “The cancer would be much worse. I trust Planned Parenthood. They’ve always been very compassionate with me, and they believe in what they’re doing. I’m just very upset that our political lead-ers are taking money away from them.”

to other entities, because those entities need to match or exceed the require-ments for the grant set forth by the fed-eral government.”

Calls to the Ohio DoH for comment to be included in this article went unre-turned.

Will Planned Parenthood Stay Open?

The Toledo location, at 1301 Jeffer-son Avenue, along with the other clinics in Ohio will continue to offer their core services. None of the 28 Planned Parent-hood facilities in Ohio will close because of the new law.

“The reality is that we’ll still be able to run our clinics. We’re still com-mitted to doing what we do best which

is providing reproductive healthcare to over 80,000 Ohioans every year. We will continue to do that through our health centers, though we won’t be able to do as much with our community outreach pro-grams,” says Evans.

Without the grant money, Planned Parenthood will be cutting back on what appears to be the same kinds of outreach programs that the anti-abortion lawmak-ers are saying that we desperately need more of. Where exactly that money will go and how it will be used remains un-clear.

Matt and I were introduced to each other by friends in high school, and the rest is history. We experienced several

milestones together, including Matt leaving for the Marine Corps in 2013. His absence brought us closer together. Less than a year later, we were engaged. Both of us were born and raised in the Toledo area, so we decided to shop locally for our wedding vendors. We feel you get significantly better service and it helps the local com-munity and economy. Both of us were surprised by how quickly the wedding day went. My advice to future couples is to simply relax, and enjoy— this day is about you two and nothing else.

I spent several hours with Kelli Baker, Wedding Floral Designer, leading up to the wedding. She was very pa-tient with me while I shared my likes and dislikes with her. She blew me away with sample arrangements she prepared for our final meeting. On the big day, all the bouquets, center-pieces and candelabras were stunning.

St. Hyacinth Catholic Church719 Evesham • 419-536-5124 stcharlesshyacinthtoledo.orgSt. Hyacinth is a beautiful church and close to our home. We felt a connection with the church as well as Deacon Pence who married us. Matthew and I were lucky enough to have Deacon Pence’s daughter, Katherine stand by our side as my Maid of Honor. It was an extra bonus that there were nice sized rooms in the church basement for the guys and gals to get ready in.

Atlas Bridal Shop4895 Monroe St. • 419-474-9119 • atlasbridalshop.comOf course, I knew I was going to get my wedding attire at Atlas Bridal Shop. My Mother-In-Law, Jeanne Fairchild, is the owner. Atlas posted a photo of a beautiful gown on their Facebook page and I had to try it on. After trying on dozens of dresses, nothing compared to that first dress. Since Matt is in the Marine Corps, he wore his dress blues uniform for our ceremony before later changing into a tuxedo to match the grooms-men. We selected all the bridesmaid gowns and groomsmen attire from Atlas, complete with bow tie.

Luke and I were highschool sweethearts and University of Toledo May 2015 gradu-

ates. Being from the Toledo area our entire lives, it was a given to get married in Toledo. Our en-tire wedding day went perfectly and we couldn’t have accom-plished any of this without our wedding providers. My advice to future brides and grooms is to enjoy every second of the planning process. While it may get stressful at times, all that truly matters is you get to marry the love of your life and start your forever together. Our favorite moment on our big day was being able to hug and have all our family there to celebrate with us.

Joyce Roling and the entire team at Stranahan were remarkable to work with. Having a large guest list of 500, they were one of very few halls in the area able to accommodate the guest count. Not only were we able to use our own caterer, our wedding professionals were able to come in the day before and set up. The dance floor was situated in the entire center section of the hall which made it perfect for guests to dance all night long.

In a town with iconic restaurant’s like Packo’s, Mancy’s and Schmucker’s, another venerable food deity begs to make the list of treasured stops: the Green Lantern Diner.

If you haven’t heard of it, you don’t know Toledo. If you haven’t visited it recently, you’re missing out. And if you’ve heard of it, but never noticed it when driving down Broadway – well, it is tiny.

Bucking the trendGreen Lantern does the nostalgic,

classic diner very well. It’s been family owned and operated since opening in 1927 near the train (and now bus) terminal, Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaza.

Serving classic American food, the Green Lantern has sustained their brick and mortar with tradition. “This is the oldest diner in Lucas County, and it’s never changed the food,” said Moe Habbouche, owner, who took over the operation in 1989 from his father-in-law, leaving the menu untouched. And that’s the reason for his restaurant’s longevity, which is no secret to its steady stream of regulars, says Habbouche: “You’ve got to be friendly with the people, and you’ve got to respect them. Don’t add, don’t change, don’t do anything to it. I’ve seen so many (restaurants) go out of business who can’t do those things.”Eat it or go hungry

There’s plenty of traditional fare on the menu, and that’s a good thing. Anyone who frequents diners expects predictability. Lantern’s made-fresh-to-order goodness eschews heat lights and warming trays.

Finding it hard to totally abandon my health-nut convictions, I took great pleasure in meeting my sensibilities halfway, with a chicken sandwich, while my cohort feasted on a classic hamburger and fries — reminding me that sometimes it’s okay to indulge.

The menu carries its share of cleverly-named sandwiches— such as the Handy-Andy (double cheeseburger deluxe) and Humpty Dumpty (double sausage deluxe)– two of its most popular sandwiches, according to Habbouche .And a quick stop for one of its smooth, thick milkshakes would make anyone’s dull afternoon at work instantly tolerable.

On the right trackIn fact, the diner’s name has nothing

to do with the superhero, but rather the lanterns once used as railroad communication signals, which is fitting, given its locale. Habbouche has one on display, along with his pride in Toledo, which he shares verbally or through the numerous skyline pictures on his walls.

Habbouche, a bit of a local celebrity as a regular on Denny Schaeffer’s Star 105 morning show every Monday, has helped his diner with the notoriety. However, he’s always enjoyed strong customer support from nearby downtown workers, as well as every Toledo mayor since Donna Owens in the ‘80s.

If you want to visit, you’ll have to do it over breakfast or lunch— Habbouche purposely limits his hours on the noble premise that “money isn’t everything, and evening is family time.”

So, take heed should your magic ring power you down Broadway, because Green Lantern delivers firmly on all the diner super powers you deserve: excellent food, fair prices and friendly service.

Green Lantern Diner, 509 Broadway St. 419-241-3752. open Mon.-Sat. 6 a.m.-2 p.m.

Thou shalt not wasteAmerica loves to eat— and waste. Nearly 50% of consumable food in our country is thrown away. To help the issue of food insecurity, The University Church (TUC) Garden and UT Health-Grows are gathering an army of gleaners; collectors of leftover produce harvested from farms. During Gleaner’s Dinner and Screening of the movie “Just Eat It,” attendees will learn what happens when two foodies decide to cut out the grocery store and live only on

foods that are considered waste. Following the movie, a dinner made of reclaimed foods will be served. TUC Garden, in partner-ship with the University of Toledo HealthGrows, presents hands-on workshops every third Saturday of the month. 10am-noon Satur-day, April 16.

Toledo has great beer, and wants to show it off. See what the Glass City’s bubbling craft beer community is all about with special keg tappings, food pairings, tastings, a brewer’s olympics, collaboration brews, and more beer-centric events during the 2nd annual Toledo Beer Week (TBW), April 18-24.

Local restaurants, bars and bakeries (creating beer in-fused breads and sweets) are participating— each putting their own “stamp” on TBW. During the week, ask a bartend-er for a TBW passport to collect stamps from participating venues. Five stamps lands you a TBW coozie.

Firkin Fest Finale The week ends with the Firkin Fest Finale, which honors

the traditional barrel-shaped container, called a firkin, used for cask ale. Appropriately, the fest will offer 25 different cask conditioned beers to sample, along with food from local res-taurants and entertainment.

Firken Fest Finale is from 2-4pm on Sunday, April 24 at The Collingwood Arts Center’s Black Box Theater

(2413 Collingwood Blvd.). $30/in advance, $40/at the door. All proceeds of Toledo Beer Week go to support the

In celebration of Yom Ha’Atzmaut, Is-raeli Independence Day on May 14, the festival will screen, “In Search of Israeli Cuisine”, while view-ers enjoy ice cream and Israeli snacks to go along with the movie’s theme. Food is a unifying topic. “Last year, one of the films we showed was about delicatessens in America,” says Freed, as she describes the huge turnout. “There were about 160 people there, many of them love the ‘deli’,” she said.

The missionFreed explains the

goal of the festival, to “promote awareness and create a sense of

community.” “We really hope a lot of non-Jewish people attend,” as through the medium of film, we want this festival to foster cultural solidarity, as “some-thing fun but which teaches awareness of Jewish culture.”

The Festival, which spans six weeks, will feature a variety of films touching on the Jewish cultural experience. Ac-cording to the event or-ganizer Hallie Freed, the festival is “a cinematic exploration of Jewish ex-perience through culture and history, life in Israel, and the work of Jewish artists…. Every year we make it a little different and more exciting.”

The films“Highlighting any-

thing to do with the Jew-ish culture,” according to Freed, the selected films will range from the light-hearted to the serious.

A documentary about the life of Julius Rosenwald, the founder of Sears who “worked with Booker T. Washington to create over 5,000 schools in the South that served underprivileged African Americans,” champions “one of the big-gest philanthropists ever.” The director of the film, Aviva Kempner, will present a Q&A after the screening of “Rosenwald” on Monday, May 2.

ToledowelcomesTheSecondCity

The legendary group comes to townByJonRuggiero

What do George Wendt, Bob Odenkirk, and current Late Show host Stephen Colbert have in common? One of the most important comedy enterprises in the country— The Second City.

The legendary comedy club and school of improvisation will show off its talents in Toledo at the Valentine Theater on Saturday, April 16 with their travelling show, “Hooking Up with The Second City”.

The Second City first opened in 1959 as a small cabaret theater on Chicago’s north side as a place for alternative comedy. Since then, the group’s unique form of improv blended with satirical social comedy has helped develop some of the biggest names. Numerous Saturday Night Live cast members have come from the Second City, and their well known alumni includes Bill Murray, John Candy, Martin Short, Tina Fey and Chris Farley.

See the new generation of The Second City during their touring company’s new show, “Hooking Up with The Second City” about relationships and the mixed-up, crazy things we do for love.

Drunk in loveThe down and out alcoholic artist— hardly a new story, and perhaps a cliché, but a true story, and one that fits Amedeo Modigliani, the Italian Jewish painter and sculptor that shook up the Parisian avant-garde in the early 1900s. Known for his elongated, feminine portraits— and his crippling alcoholism— Modigliani’s final year is the subject of the 1958 black and white film, “Modigliani of Montparnasse”. Directed by Jacques Becker, the memoir details the love story between Modigliani and the daughter of a wealthy family which did not support their rela-tionship. This special screening is part of the Art House Friday Film Series. 7pm Friday, April 15. Toledo Museum of Art Little Theater, 2445 Monroe St. 419-255-8000. toledomuseum.org Free

StorytellingcomesfullcircleAn Iliad— as told by Paul Causman

ByAthenaCocoves

A storm of violence is brewing, a roar-ing thunder of revenge and destruction. It’s a tragedy thousands of years old— soon to come to life through vocal light-ning strikes, uttered by a single actor.

This violence, which started with Homer’s epic, will be remembered through Actors Collaborative Toledo’s (ACT) upcoming reading of Denis O’Hare, Lisa Peterson and Robert Fagle’s 2012 staged translation of “An Iliad,” performed by Paul Causman and directed by Barbara Barkan.

All of us, all at onceThe man most of Toledo knows

as Scrooge— in his yearly persona with The Toledo Rep’s “A Christmas Carol”— is currently preparing to take on a markedly different role. Causman will have no chorus, no props, no dia-logue— he will be the single actor, a sto-ryteller, with a script based on a story that has stood the test of time.

“It’s a lot of play,” said Causman, laugh-ing. “The poem is about war. It’s not so much anti-war, but it’s about the humanity of war, the human condition, and our be-ing in war all the time. It’s about violence, our addiction to rage and destruction... It is still so incredibly relevant to things go-ing on in the world today.”

Using parts from Homer’s original epic, translated and woven with modern concerns— like someone cutting you off on the highway— “An Iliad” exposes revenge, vengeance, and violence to be nothing more than part of our humanity. “An Iliad” is weighted by its own hidden meanings: the nameless man Causman will portray is all of us.

“[My] character… seems obligated to come back throughout history during wartime. It’s his fate to come back and retell this story,” explained Causman.

PaulCausman,aToledoactinglegend,willbethelonefigureonstage,tellingastorythousandsofyearsold.

“It’s [a story about] death, life, love, violence, destruction, rebuilding, it’s humanity… It’s the same as if it were in our DNA. It’s still a part of us today. Those kind of themes are underneath the storytelling.”

The act of storytelling For Causman, his role in “An Iliad”

is unlike anything he has done before. “This is paired down to the moment of the actor and audience, and that’s it,” said Causman. “It’s very exciting to not have to be another character— I can be me, talking to you, and you understand it because you’re you… Sometimes what can happen between and audience and a storyteller, in the minds of the au-dience, it is much more powerful than what you could ever put on a stage.”

Serving as ACT’s first benefit gala, “An Iliad” strikes a chord with ACT’s philosophy of showing contemporary theater that illustrates the power of an actor and a story.

“As far as the experience for the audience, “An Iliad” boils down to the language and the connection between teller and audience,” said John DuVall, a co-founder of ACT. “Causman is one of the icons of the Toledo theater scene and we are excited to have him.”

ACT will use proceeds from the gala to create educational workshops for high school actors, as well funding for the group’s second full season as a 501c3 non-profit.

Diana Patton's goal is simple, yet re-markable: she wants to inspire women all over the world to overcome the trag-edies in their life by using that same pain to advance themselves.

To that end, Patton, a Fostoria native and Toledo resident, is ready to share her personal tale of heartache and tri-umph. In her memoir, "Inspiration in My Shoes," Patton writes of a life spent fac-ing adversity— from her abusive home life, to dealing with racism, to the pain of losing her brother to suicide. The raw emotion of her story can be felt on every page with a blunt honesty that Patton ex-plains was very deliberate.

"Its intention is to really be as trans-parent as possible, to reach young women. Because in this day and age, I think young girls—15 to 25—are very knowledgeable about when people are truthful," Patton said in an interview.

Tumultuous BeginningsToday, Patton is known as an attorney,

a public speaker and as the former Vice President and COO for the Toledo Fair Housing Center— a position she recent-ly left to focus on spreading her message and the release of the book. Her desire to fight for the rights of the underprivileged stems directly from her own life experi-ences, from the time of her birth in 1968 as one of seven siblings.

"We grew up with a very abusive fa-ther. My father was, I believe, mentally ill. He was sexually abusive to my sisters and I. No one really knew everything, but they kind of knew what was going on, in the small town of Fostoria,” said Patton.

Living in a tumultuous time for civil rights complicated Patton's sense of who

CITY PAGESInspirationThroughAdversity

Toledo attorney and author Diana Patton aims to change livesbyJeffMcGinnis

she was meant to be. "Dealing with the issues of abuse and my identity as an interracial child was very hard for me," Patton said. "And I tell that tale in part one of my book to explain, in very raw detail, all the things that happened to me and my sisters. Then, part two of the book, basically, is me coming out of that."

You Need to Write a BookThe desire to turn her story into a

book began to crystallize when she met the man who would eventually become her husband and the father of her two children. "When we first met and I actu-ally told him my life story, he said, 'Oh my God, you need to write a book!' That was in 1990," she said with a laugh.

"After my brother passed in 2007, [that] was when I started to ink the story. And then, I thought, 'What, am I crazy?'"

The demons of self-doubt caused her to stop working on the book until she gave a TEDx talk in September of 2014. "Then that feeling came back again...that ever gnawing feeling that, 'You've got to finish this.' So I just asked God to give me strength," Patton said.

Patton's ultimate hope— now that "Inspiration in My Shoes" is in readers' hands— is to help others overcome the pain in their lives. "There's a lot of heal-ing that hasn't happened, that I didn't know about. Even in writing my story. And in my family, there's still more healing that has to happen.

"And so my prayer is that through this book, there's a complete circle," Patton said.

Celebrating a Decade of Glass ArtGlass works leave the home for Hot Spot exhibit

By Athena CocovesIf money was not an issue, and your home decor was determined exclusive-

ly by your aesthetic sensibilities, what would you display? Take a glimpse into private glass art collections in Toledo, and nationwide, during the Toledo Mu-seum of Art’s upcoming exhibit, Hot Spot: Contemporary Glass from Private Collections, opening Friday, April 15.

Hitting homeAs the curator of glass and decorative art at the Toledo Museum of Art, Jutta Page has

a daunting task— curating the museum’s significant, time-tested works for educational benefit. “As museum curators, we have to be rational,” admitted Page. “[When purchas-ing works] I have to keep the overall development of the collection and the history of glass in mind, as well as our general art collection.

“Private collectors have the ben-efit of simply buying what they in-tuitively like,” explained Page, who has seen much fine glass work in private local collections during her past 13 years as a Toledo resident. “In putting this exhibition together, I tried to borrow works by artists who are not currently represented in the collection… so this exhibit is really enriching… and gives exposure to the local public. If we are looking at the exhibit themati-cally, it certainly holds together very nicely with quite a range of techniques, individual artists, and countries represented.”

A decade of discovery Ten years ago, when the Glass Pavilion was built. Page began curating the objects

that would move into the Glass Pavilion. “Whenever you are reinstalling works of art and you’re making connections slightly differently, the works look new to the viewer,” said Page. “That certainly will be the case for Hot Spot.”

Instead of moving a work from one museum gallery to the next, Page must now con-sider the placement of works from a private collector’s home into a public gallery.

“In the private home of individuals, these works have a very different context. When they are moved to a professional gallery setting, they will have a very different appeal and look… They’ll look new,” said Page.

Page has curated more than 80 contemporary glass objects to exhibit at the TMA before they go back home September 18.

Toledo According to_____________!

How Mike fills up his glass (city) Mike Toth

Age: 32

Occupation: Mobile Meals Marketing Coordinator/drummer for Nine Lives and Not Fast Enüff/foodie

Toledoan since: 1989

Toledo’s a big town with a lot of friendly faces. Ever wonder what a walk in Ottawa Park, or throughout Downtown, is like for other residents? We’re stepping inside the soles and souls of Toledoans to learn how they fill up their glass city.

When out of towners visit us, I always take them to Tony Packo’s or the Toledo Zoo.

Too many people think Toledo is overridden by crime, but it’s wrong because I feel Toledo is a great place to live. So many great restaurants and local businesses that are thriving here.

My favorite neighborhood is The Old West End.

My favorite night out in Toledo was at Mud Hens’

Opening Day.

When I am feeling a bit too much of Saturday night on a Sunday, I can always rely on Deet’s BBQ and lots of water to make my day better.

The Toledoan I most admire is. John Amato, the owner of Jupmode, who brought back the You Will Do Better in Toledo slogan.

The hardest thing about living in Toledo is dodging road construction, but the best thing is the live music scene.

I always brag about Toledo’s great food and music scene.

When I want to unwind I go to Swig.

To find inspiration, I go to Side Cut Metropark.

The first three words that come to mind about Toledo are: Home, music, food.

If I ever forget to buy a present for a special occasion, I know Jupmode will hook me up with a great gift.

I know Balance Pan-Asian Grille will satisfy my munchies.

Going to Hollywood Casino Toledo makes me feel like I am out of town.

Acoustics for Autism is my favorite annual event.

I go to The Docks for the best view in Toledo.

I wish Trotters Tavern was still open.

There is good news and bad news. The good news is we have a new moon and we wish Happy Birthday to Taurus. The bad news is that we pay our taxes and Mars

and Pluto both retrograde (slow down).— BY SUE LOVETT

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Make a list of goals and resolutions to put into effect when the new moon makes its annual visit to your sign the 7th. Shop for bargains on the 9th. Spend time at home the 12th and 13th. Mars slows down the 17th and so will you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) People from your past come back into your life the 7th and 8th. Look at income and outgo the 10th. You stay busy and file taxes on time. You may go from being a winner to a loser the 18th but on the 19th it’s HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Starting the 5th look at your tax forms and make any neces-sary corrections. The new moon the 7th brings requests for your help in community affairs. Say “yes” to at least one. Mail your taxes the 18th- then prepare to go behind the scenes.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) The new moon the 7th calls attention to your career. You think of making changes to get more responsibility. An interview the 12th or 13th could bring results. Mars slows down and tells you not to sign on the dotted line on the 17th.

LEO (July 23-August 22) Do something spectacular on the 8th or 9th and also place a bet while your luck is good. On the 17th and 18th you notice that people around you are grouchy. Listen to their problems. Pay attention to your career starting the 19th.

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) The new moon on the 7th calls attention to your budget. Be sure there is enough to pay your taxes. On the 17th, 18th and 19th three things affect you. On the 17th and 18th you are lucky. On the 19th you are misunderstood.

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) The new moon on the 7th is in your seventh house. If you do not have a perfect partner, start looking. The week of the 11th work on travel plans for spring and summer. Be careful driving on the 18th and 19th.

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) A special trip the 9th and 10th is relaxing. Take a chance and be a winner the 12th. Make plans the 16th and 17th for a summer vacation. Pluto (your ruling planet) slows down on the 18th and so will you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) You are lucky on the 7th so take a chance or two. Your love life can be exciting the 9th and 10th. Mars slows down in your sign the 17th; Pluto on the 18th. Your financial picture is gloomy then. Taxes?

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19) Relax on the 9th and 10th. The week of the 11th pick up loose pieces of evidence you need to file your taxes on the 18th. Your imagination runs wild then which is unusual – normally you are stable and practical.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) The new moon on the 7th helps you select a new car, computer, or phone to stay current with technol-ogy. Do some research the week of the 11th. The 16th is party time! You may lose a little bit of energy the 18th.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) On the 7th make a realistic budget. Stick to it for a while so you can pay your taxes. Some work shows up the 17th. Then Mars and Pluto both slow down and you may be easily confused. Avoid making decisions.

CELEBRITY ARIESThey are usually in a hurry and want to be first in line. Examples are race car drivers Al Unser, Jr. and Danica Patrick. Locally June Boyd (Board of Community Relations) and Councilman Peter Ujvagi light their candles.

STYLE SENSEby Monique Ward

Kristy DuttonAge: 37Occupation: Account Executive with iHeartMedia

A bubbly personality and colorful style may be lacking in corporate America but if Kristy Dutton is in your office, there is no shortage of either. As a local account executive for a nationwide broadcasting company, Kristy prides herself in bringing a lot of flavor to the job. Dutton is also a “Cheer Mom” to her daughter— so there are a lot of opportunities to showcase her great sense of fashion.

What makes your style sense so awesome?I like to have fun with it… trying new colors and thinking outside the box. Working in corporate America, I have to balance a professional appearance with the latest trends.

Where is your best “dress-up your outfit” accessory? Different blazers of various colors as well as scarves. A girl can never have too many scarves!

What is the best outfit that flatters your curvaceous figure? I’ve always had a shape so I have found that a colorful dress that isn’t too long or short with some dark tights, a cute jacket, complements my figure. Plus, some black ankle boots to go with it.

Where do you find the coolest stuff that’s in your closet? Oh man! I love Burlington, Plato’s Closet, Clothes Mentor and JC Penney. They always have great deals and clothing items that you won’t find anywhere else.

You are a mom of a teenage daughter… how does she feel about your jazzy style? She loves it and thanks me all the time for giving her my eclectic eye for fashion. Funny thing is, she has become my styling consultant, especially at times when I can’t figure out what to wear.
