New hybrid Wrangler begins production Helping those who need help most

The Greater Toledo Community Foundation announced the award of a $28,000 grant to National Church Residences, a not-for-profit organization aimed at providing food and supplies for vulnerable seniors. The grant, from the Foundation’s COVID-19 Response Fund which supports area nonprofits as they work to assist individuals during the crisis, has allowed National Church Residences to aid over 250 lowincome seniors at five Toledo affordable housing communities along with 75 formerly homeless individuals.

Make way for a revolutionary Wrangler, made right here in Toledo. A new hybrid model, the Wrangler 4xe, is scheduled to begin production and roll out to dealers by the beginning of 2021. The 4xe (pronounced “four-by-E”) will be the first Wrangler plug-in hybrid, capable of traveling up to 25 miles on electrical power alone. With an electric motor and traditional gasoline engine working together, the 4xe is expected to clock an impressive 50 miles to the gallon. The Wrangler 4xe is the latest foray into the electric vehicles by Jeep, with plans to offer electric variations on all vehicles in the coming years.

From two lanes to three?

The debate over a plan to widen sections of I-475 continues to heat up. The Ohio Department of Transportation unveiled a plan on August 12 to add a third lane to traffic on the highway from US 23 to Douglas Road, one of the last sections that remains only two lanes, frequently slowing traffic during rush hour. A community group, Concerned Citizens of Toledo, coordinated by Peggy Daly-Masternak, has been speaking out against the project, which could cost roughly $175 million. DalyMasternak, an avowed activist, has done past work opposing expensive city projects, including the now-dead plan to give a tax abatement to a developer to renovate the former ElderBeerman site on Secor near Central.

The Toledo Police Department recently received a federal grant of over $120,000 for the purchase of additional body cameras. With the grant and an additional $11,826 from the City, TPD will gain 195 new body cameras, allowing every officer who deals with the public to wear one. Toledo officers began wearing body cameras in 2015.

An iconic Lake Erie sight is getting a facelift. In early September, a restoration project began on the Toledo Harbor Lighthouse, built in 1904, at the mouth of the Maumee River. Cement blocks which covered window openings are being removed, allowing natural light to enter the first floor for the first time in years. Other windows in the building are being replaced, two steel doors will be refurbished and additional brickwork repair will be completed. The restoration is estimated to cost $650,000.

The US Army Corps of Engineers awarded a contract to an Idaho company to remove a now-collapsing building in Luckey, OH. Known simply as The Production Building, the structure was used to produce beryllium from 1949 -1958, and largely abandoned in the decades since. The building’s removal is the latest step in a larger plan to clean the soil beneath the structure, to remove contamination from beryllium, uranium, lead and more. The $11.8 million contract for demolition is with Wind Site Services, LLC of Idaho Falls, ID. Deconstruction is scheduled to begin in early 2021.

CITY POLITICS Rhapsody in blue

Fearless predictions in the age of COVID by Johnny Hildo It’s an election like no other. For years we have pointed out that there is no such thing as Election Day anymore. Instead we have Election Season. It started with a bill, championed by Ohio legislators like Toledo’s own Edna Brown, which morphed from no fault absentee voting to full fledged in person early vote. Prior to two thousand and five, Ohioans were forced to vote in person on Election Day unless they met certain narrow categories. If you could certify that you were infirm or would be out of your home county, for example, you could apply for an absentee ballot. Such restrictions meant absentee voting was relatively rare, and predictable. Folks who voted absentee once could often be counted on to vote absentee regularly. They were generally snowbirds, or those living in assisted care, or others who voted absentee year after year. Campaigns were largely focused on voters who showed up at polling places on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Who would show up where was also relatively predictable. Voters were registered at specific addresses, and their polling places were set. Voting records could be used to predict who voted only every four years, in elections for president, or every two years, in all federal elections, or every year, in local, state, and federal elections. Voters could be targeted by election, location, and likelihood of voting in person or absentee. Campaign mail pieces were timed for the weekend before E Day, and volunteers covered polling places on that day.

It’s a free for all

Enter no fault absentee and in person early voting. Suddenly any registered voter could vote by mail-in ballot without giving a reason. And anyone, in the early days, could show up at the board of elections during the first week of early voting, register, and vote. Talk about unpredictable! Even those who were not registered could show up and vote, and any registered voter could vote anytime over an entire month. Since then, the “golden week” of in person registration and voting at the same time has been eliminated. Only those registered before the early vote period can vote. But there is still a free for all of voting over a month’s time. Traditional wisdom about targeting voters is out the window. Who will vote is still relatively predictable based on

www.toledocitypaper.com

past voting record, but when, where, and how is much less so. Political pundits have struggled to update campaign strategy in the face of such unpredictability. When to mail campaign lit, and when and where to target voters is more art than science. With the current pandemic, any tentative triangulation of voter targeting is even more out the window. Folks who have regularly voted in person are conscious of social distancing and voting by mail for the first time. Others don’t trust the mail because of major service disruptions and are voting early in person. Lines at the early vote center have been historically massive.

Blue breaker

The foregoing narrative has been a long winded disclaimer. Our predictions for E Day are a crappy shoot this year. Except for this. Candidates convicted of manslaughter will lose decisively this year, even if their offspring died a hero. Even if said convict blames the victim, his opponent, and the Democratic Party on his proclivity to recidivism. Ironic that the local GOP, self described as the party of law and order, replaced their candidate for at-large Toledo council, a retired engineer, with Tony Dia, a retired strip club owner. With a long history of criminal behavior documented as far back as his early teens. Dia has opined that activists protesting perceived racial bias in the criminal justice system should be run over by semi trucks. He then blamed his conviction of the wanton killing of a fellow teen back in the mid eighties on racial bias in the criminal justice system. Katie Moline, CPA who has never killed anyone, will win easily. As will the rest of the local Ds on the ballot. It will be a deep blue sweep. Only one race will be competitive, that for LC Sheriff. Democrat Mike Navarre is well known and well connected. But Independent, albeit life long D, Earl Mack has a veritable volunteer machine of a campaign. His signs are everywhere, and he has had a constant presence surrounding the Early Vote Center. We bet there’s a GOP candidate too, but who cares? Our prediction is that Mack wins the city but loses countywide to Navarre. But we doubt that’s his end game. Is Mack establishing a brand to run for Toledo mayor in 2021? Hmmmmm...

CITY SIDE A future for Collingwood: Beal Properties acquires Church of the Living God By Sean Nestor

Investing with a (Re)purpose

Lining Collingwood Boulevard, formerly known as the Avenue of Churches, in Toledo’s historic Old West End, stand half a dozen magnificent churches. Built over a century ago, during the height of Toledo’s economic prosperity, their majesty and charm, like so many of Toledo’s historic buildings, are vulnerable and falling into disrepair due to decades of shrinking population and economic decline. Among these structures is the former Church of the Living God, at 2158 Collingwood Boulevard at Bancroft Street. Built in 1921, it is notable for the massive stone ionic columns that adorn its entrance. Originally home to the Second Church of Christ, in 1995, the structure was sold to the Church of the Living God, which operated in the building until 2013. A dispute with the church’s national office led to the local congregation selling the building to a pair of Canadian investors. The site has since been vacant.

Early in September, Stewart Beal, owner of property management firm Beal Properties, announced that he had acquired the building for $125,000, and was seeking ideas on what to do with it. A sign with the Beal Properties logo was placed on the corner advertising the availability of commercial space. For some, the purchase was a sign of relief. Cosmetic changes, like the removal of a broken sign that was damaged by a runaway ambulance in 2011, were welcomed by neighbors who felt that the property was becoming an eyesore. But others expressed concern. Was Beal the right developer for such a historic building? Known primarily for residential rental properties— many of which house lowincome tenants— Beal manages over 1,500 units in Toledo, including two fourstory apartment buildings adjacent to the church. The condition and maintenance of those rental units has led some in the neighborhood to criticize Beal.

Opinions vary

Among the critics is Sue Postal, Chair of the Old West End Association’s Preservation committee. “Beal has not reached out to us, and the sheer lack of communication about his plans for the building makes us question if he’s really interested in doing what’s right for the neighborhood, or just what’s right for his wallet,” Postal explains. However, in a neighborhood that is almost entirely residential, the redevelopment of commercial property is seen as an opportunity. The possibilities for converting the former place of worship into a commercial venue have sparked lively discussions. Comments on the Old West End Facebook page muse about how the church could be converted into a fantastic concert venue or theater, maybe a banquet hall or wine bar. But while ideas flow steadily, ideas backed by funding have been in short supply. As of October, the Lucas County Auditor’s office had not recorded any sale of

the property by the Canadian investors who acquired the property in 2013. The auditor’s office also shows the property as being zoned residential— so any commercial development will likely require a zoning change application with the City. Recently, Javier Sastre, Beal’s commercial property specialist, allowed Toledo City Paper to tour the building. Much of it seems to be in good shape; the worship area and adjoining offices are dusty but otherwise ready for use. Some debris littered the common areas, and the basement was off limits due to a thin layer of water that is being addressed. Sastre related that since putting up the sign, Beal Properties had received a number of calls— including from professionals interested in sectioning off part of the building for offices and from church groups seeking a place to worship. Sastre stated that Beal is willing to work with all of them— especially if the prospective tenants can assist with financing some of the renovations.

Style

What does style mean to you? Wearing what you like and what you feel confident in. I’m a firm believer that whatever you wear should make you feel good and look good.

SUBSTANCE What inspired you to create DapperDaryl.com? I created DapperDaryl. com because I’ve always had a passion for fashion and styling and have always had a natural eye for piecing articles of clothing together to create a dapper look. I wanted to find a way I could share inspiration, tips and advice with other men who desire to improve their personal style.

2020

What makes your perspective on style valuable? Not only do I have a natural interest and passion for fashion and styling, but I’ve also truly immersed myself in fashion subscribing to fashion magazines, online publications, fashion blogs, following fashion brands social accounts and also reading informational books covering fashion topics from a historical perspective. All of those reference channels keep me abreast of industry news and trends.

Style and Substance Thinking fashion forward in the Glass City By Jeff McGinnis

Toledo City Paper sought out true individuals for this edition of Toledo GQ. We asked men from all walks for thoughts on their own style, their influences, their place in the community, and how Toledo’s core values impact and shape ideas of how we look every day. Meet these the men who bring their own flair to Glass City living.

How have your views on fashion and personal style changed since you started the blog? Given the current climate around racial discrimination and stereotyping, I’m reminded of the importance to fight against and break down the stereotypes placed on POC based on our style of dress. I’ve been intentional in fighting against stereotypes by choosing to wear my Jordan tennis shoes and a hoodie,

What’s the most important tip to looking good? While “looking good” is relative to

the eye of the beholder, for me, two important tips to looking good are 1) grooming, and 2) ensuring proper fit. You can wear the most fly fit, but the look isn’t 100% at its best until grooming is up to par. Grooming is the icing on the cake. Additionally, well-fitted clothing is always visually appealing. By well-fitted, I mean perfectly fitted to your body make-up.

What is your trademark “look?”

Since I’ve been growing out my hair, my trademark clothing item has definitely become the bandana. I wear them quite often and I dress it up and dress it down. for example, to work on dress down Fridays, proudly wearing my well-maintained braids/afro, both, in and out of the workplace, and regularly wearing bandanas— all styles and clothing items that are often associated with being a “thug”, especially when worn by a black male. My point is to prove and normalize the thought that just because I’m a black male who chooses to wear a particular type of clothing or a certain style, doesn’t mean that I’m a thug or person to be feared— I am smart, I am college educated, I am a white collar professional, and I am not a threat, no matter what I choose to wear.

What’s the most important tip to looking good? Be confident. Not everyone is a 10...I’m far from a “10.” My motto is “looks of a 6, confidence of a 10.” What do you think is your trademark “look?” Ha! Graphic tees and jeans.

How can a tattoo reflect and amplify someone’s personal style? A tattoo can change someone’s total appearance. It helps with a person’s personal confidence to not be a cookie-cutter individual. What is the flat-out coolest tattoo you’ve ever created? That’s a hard question. I’ve been tattooing for almost 12 years so there have been a ton of super fun tattoos. I enjoy every tattoo where I have artistic freedom, being able to put one of my original drawings on someone is always the best. Do you choose your clothes to accentuate or conceal your tats? When I was younger I chose clothes that would show my tattoos, but now they are all over my body and pretty visible with whatever I’m wearing. Tell us a bit about the history of Toledo Tattoo: Toledo Tattoo Company was established in 1978. It is Toledo’s oldest and most respected tattoo studio. My father was a tattooer, and as he was a single father, I was raised in the studio. During my years at Central Catholic High School, I would take the bus straight to the tattoo studio after school and do my apprenticeship. The

42 years old Vice President and General Manager of Hollywood Casino, Toledo

SUBSTANCE

What is your impression of Toledo? Toledo has been so welcoming to me and my family. Being able to quickly become part of the community, whether it be through the Chamber of Commerce, whether it be through the American Cancer Society, and all of the different organizations and groups available— I couldn’t be happier. What kind of style does Hollywood Casino bring to Toledo? It’s in our name. You come here, you can go as big as you want, you can be that person, you’re the star of the day. You worked as a chemist before beginning a career in gaming, right? What inspired that transition? I got into management, and after business school, I was recruited by Caesar’s Entertainment. I’ll never forget, I was at a convention and I saw them, they got to know me, I got to know them. And all I could think was, “Damn, these people look like they’re having a lot of fun.” And I thought about my lab, and I thought about going back to the plant and mixing vats of chemicals. And I said, “Boy, I think they have a lot more fun than I do at work!”

What has the reopening process been like in the past few months? It’s been very complicated, just like it has been for every other business in Toledo. I can’t thank the Board of Health and everyone involved enough for just helping us through the process. I don’t know how it was in other cities, but it was a collaboration, where we worked together to get to a solution that essentially kept people safe.

Style What does style mean to you? It’s a personal expression to me. It really tells something about your individuality, who you are as a person. We didn’t have much money growing up., and my mom would always tell me, you don’t have to spend all of your money to have nice things. So I always took that to heart. What’s the most important tip for looking good? Be yourself. You don’t have to try to be someone else. Also, wear things that fit you. I lived in the UK for a while, and I’ll never forget, I went to go get my first suit altered, and the tailor in no uncertain terms said, “You must be American!” And I thought, “What are you talking about?” And he said, “Every time I meet Americans, you guys never buy clothes that fit. You need to throw this away!” What do you think is your trademark “look?” I like business, with a splash of something extra. … Whether it’s funky socks, or a really cool accessory, I really like to add something that’s just a little bit of flavor, of my own personality, in the confines of the business place. What’s a terrible men’s fashion choice? Grown men wearing skinny jeans. I think there’s a time limit on those!

Do you enjoy gaming yourself when you’re not on the clock? I do. It’s kind of like working at McDonald’s and not liking the fries. You gotta like the fries, right? Even though I’m not an avid gambler, if I’m in Vegas or in a casino in another state that I’m allowed to gamble, according to the regulations, I definitely would dabble.

Do you have a style influence— someone you look up to as far as how you look? My mom, who gave me that great piece of advice— it’s what you use, or what you have. That’s really my influence in trying to make everything special. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? Longer than my wife. She makes fun of me for that. I don’t have too much of a crazy routine. I don’t have much hair, so that helps. … About 30 minutes, and I’m usually able to get out the door. What color do you wear most often? Blue. I don’t know why, but I looked at my clothes and I thought, “Damn, I have a lot of blue!” Where do you shop for clothes locally? The guys over at V Collection, and House of Him, they do a great job, and I bother them and convince them to make really cool, funky things when I have the chance. How important is looking good in your line of work? It’s extremely important. Not saying you can’t wear a polo, because you can, but you’re dealing with so many different people at different levels. … So having that professionalism, that sense that you can talk to anyone— from the biggest spender, to the person who is just coming in for a good night out. It’s really important that I project that sense of, not only empathy, but professionalism.

What does style mean to you? Style depends on what makes you happy. It depends on the occasion. Style looks clean and fresh. Style depends on the occasion, but I think style overall depends on the person, what they enjoy and the look that they’re going for. What’s the most important tip to looking good? It’s always clean when someone has nice shoes on. Whether you have a fresh pair of Nikes, or a nice pair of leather dress shoes. That’s looking clean. It’s looking put together. Your trademark “look?” Honestly, I feel like I’m a chameleon. It depends upon what I’m doing. When I’m in the house with the kids, I’ve got Lululemon pants on and I always like the long-sleeve, comfortable hoodie-type shirts. But outside the house, I’m in Paige Jeans, which are super-comfy. They almost feel like men’s yoga pants. Sometimes my family gives me a hard time for it, because they’re a little tight. Do you have a style influence— someone you look up to as far as how you look? Locally, Valentine (Ononye), a buddy of mine— he owns V Couture in Perrysburg, and then he owns [V Concept] in Sylvania... he’s got me fitted up for my media stuff and any TV appearances.

How has your attitude toward style changed since you’ve retired from professional football? It changed a lot, because every day I went to practice— say I’m playing for the Oakland Raiders or the Pittsburgh Steelers, that’s all I’m wearing is Steelers gear, Raiders gear. On my way to practice, during practice, leaving practice. But then, when I was playing football, when we traveled and went on a trip to away games, or even home games, I always did dress very nicely. That’s where you had to step up your game, as far as style, because you knew a lot of the other players were going to look good as well. Is your own personal style reflected in the decor at Social Gastropub? Social is what I like. I’ve always liked fancy-meets-rustic. We have very nice, fancy chandeliers and some rustic wood. And I like that, I think that’s me. I think I like nice things, but I’m also just down-to-earth and want to enjoy a normal meal, or good food.

What changes have you seen at Social Gastropub in the past few months? Business, especially restaurants, it’s ever-changing— especially now during COVID. You have to adapt, you have to be light on your feet, you have to continue to move and try to grow. And I think we’ve done that. And I’m really appreciative of the community that has still come out and had a nice meal, went on a date, because it’s important for our well-being. We have to be cautious and careful, and I think we’ve done a tremendous job following all the guidelines at Social, to keep not only the community safe, but also our employees. It’s very important to me that we have a clean restaurant and good protocols that we follow. And our staff has done a wonderful job in that sense.

Are people surprised when they see you in public, in your everyday attire? Sometimes. They’ll say, “Gee, it’s the news guy!” or “It’s Lee Conklin!” And I just talk to them, and they understand right away that I am just a regular dude. By now, I’ve been here and done this so long, that I feel like I’ve met everyone. What do you do to be “camera ready?” I generally put powder on, because you’re going to shine up. I don’t put seven layers of makeup on— although, perhaps I should, at this point.

It’s always been kind of my mantra, over the 35 years I’ve been doing this— closer to 40— try not to be who I can’t be. Your trademark “look?” It runs the gamut. Generally over the years, it has been a Hart Schaffner Marx suit from Dillard’s. … Mark is generally the guy that I go to at Dillard’s, he helps me out a lot.

When I was hired almost 30 years ago at Channel 13 … I had worked in radio, I didn’t have many suits. And I had this preppy (outfit)— basically I looked like Skippy from high school. And the general manager said, come back in a different suit and let’s do this again. And I did. I got a “big boy” suit, and he hired me. Do you have a style influence— someone you look up to as far as how you look? (Bruce) Gradkowski looks great in a suit.

November 1 • November 30

Where do you go when you want to get away from it all? We love the Metroparks. My wife and I, we’re there a lot. Oak Openings is our favorite because it’s so big, and it’s a chance for me to get out and run around and, for the most part, be alone. Sum up presenting the news in Toledo this year. I would like to go to a restaurant, take my mask off, just relax, have some coffee, and talk to somebody face to face and not worry about (the pandemic). Unfortunately, we’re still here. We’re healthy at work— they’ve done a great job. All of our reporters have worked remotely, still not back in the building. I miss co-anchoring with Diane and Christian— we anchor separately now. I miss that, working together

How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? It doesn’t take long, ten minutes. Literally shower and put this on, and I’m ready to go. Work is a little bit different, I actually have to do something with my hair. But with my short hair, I don’t have to do much. … I can do it in a half an hour. What color do you wear most often? At work, probably blue, dark blue or charcoal. On the go, blacks and blues. Where do you shop for clothes locally? I love Stein Mart ties, and dress shirts. But Stein Mart is going out of business here. They had good name brands at pretty good prices. Never pay full price for a tie. How important is looking good in your line of work? It’s important in terms of your on-air product, you don’t want it to be sloppy, the way you deliver things. You want it to be friendly, buttoned up. And that’s the way we, as a station, and me personally want to present ourselves. Name a place in Toledo where you always try to look your best. When I’m MCing events, and there are quite a few of those. I want to look professional. And, of course, I want to look my best at work. What advice would you give someone trying to find their own personal style? Something has to be comfortable for you. And I think if something fits, that’s probably the most important thing. If it fits right, it will make you feel right.

The XXXIII Annual Toledo Club Party in the Parking Lot

CARLOS MENDEZ

Presented by Louisville Title and ToledoCPAs.com

49 years old Owner of Carlos Restaurants: Cocina de Carlos, Carlos Poco Loco, Carlos Que Pasa

SUBSTANCE

How does your sense of style influence the look of Cocina de Carlos? Cocina de Carlos is a very relaxed and chill place but with its own unique twist. The decor is simple and elegant with a pop of modern and color in the cantina. My personnel all wear our unique t-shirt designs (all local companies) and comfortable pants to make sure we are focusing all of our energy on giving great service to our customers. What makes your restaurants unique in the Toledo area? Cocina de Carlos is an extension of my own home. I am blessed to have 90% of my employees working with me for 3+ years. I’m sure that the outstanding atmosphere that exude from our team reflects to our customers. If Carlos is in a good mood = Cocina triumphs. If Carlos is in a bad mood = Cocina is bombarded with mistakes and complaints. But recently Carlos has been in a great mood because COVID has shown us all how nothing can tear us apart if we have faith, community, and motivation to work hard. Where do you go for dinner when you aren’t working? When I’m not working I love to eat at home. My wife and daughter are excellent in the kitchen so I love when they make dinner and I don’t have to do anything! Now if we do go out to eat, my preferred local restaurants are Swig, Stellas, Rose and Thistle, Nagoya, 5th Street Pub, Benchmark, Zingos and, of course, Mr. Freeze.

www.toledocitypaper.com

Style What does style mean to you? The most important aspect of my style is comfort without losing presence. I like to dress more casually simply because at the restaurant I can start the shift off front of house with our hostesses then move to back of house to help out in the kitchen. Because of that quick change of job roles, I need to make sure my apparel does not inconvenience me. What’s the most important tip to looking good? Showing your confidence as a leader through your clothing and personality. Step up above your outside appearance to make sure your leadership as an owner is clear in your establishment. Your trademark “look?” A long sleeve button up, dark dress pants, dress shoes with a big smile underneath my mask.

What’s the best date night entree on your menu? The Pineapple Don Charly. Our pineapples are packed with unique flavor combinations and the size is perfect for sharing. The BEST items on my menu are the rice and beans. The recipe has been perfected for years, to serve both meat eaters and my vegan amigos. Any dish with either rice or beans (I don’t like to eat both together) is the best meal tome.

What’s the most important tip to looking good? Get measured by a professional and find a tailor you trust. If you are just getting started into style, buy the ensemble displayed on the mannequins or models that look best to you. What does style mean to you? Style is a timeless representation of yourself. A good match makes it go from looking great to iconic.

What’s a terrible men’s fashion choice? A nose sticking out above a mask seems to be the biggest faux pas of 2020. How important is looking good in your line of work? Dermatology is a balance between treating medical conditions while also addressing a client’s various cosmetic concerns. It is difficult to be a mentor in a client’s cosmetic journey if I do not reflect an overall respect for my own appearance and health. Name a place in Toledo where you always try to look your best.

But yes, I do own and wear “normal people clothes” too. What advice would you give someone trying to find their own personal style? Personal style is all about embracing what makes you feel joy. Don’t choose things because they looked good in a magazine. Wear something that makes you smile and expresses the unique you. What kind of services does ADA Aesthetics offer for better skin?

OUR FAVORITE NORTH WEST OHIO WINES

Q+A

If you have a private collection, what’s your favorite bottle? My wife and I have been saving a bottle of Fratelli Revello Barolo from a trip we took to La Morra in Italy’s Piedmont region a few years ago. The best wines come with a story as well as tasting notes. This bottle will be great whenever we open it, but the memories that it will evoke will be the best part. What’s the best way to pick out a bottle of wine when you know nothing about the selection? While a great food and wine pairing can be wonderful, I always say to start with what you know you that like and proceed from there. Also, if you’re truly unsure, a wine steward, sommelier, or experienced server that will be able to make recommendations for you. What’s your favorite food and wine pairing? The old standby is that white wine goes with seafood, and red wine goes with red meat. Sometimes I find that a creamy Chardonnay is an intriguing pairing with a nice Filet Mignon.

Steal (great, low price): For $35 a bottle, our Giacomo Mori Chianti is hard to beat. Often in a steakhouse, the go-to wine is Cabernet, but a nice tannic wine like a Chianti is also a great pairing for a rich dinner choice like our Prime Ribeye. Deal (amazing special): It’s not a specific wine, but we have a wine dinner coming up in November. We haven’t ironed out all of the details yet, but generally we feature a 6 or 7 course meal with wine pairings to accompany each course. Our Sous Chef, Graydon, plans to go all out with a “Fall Harvest” theme this time around. Unreal (your highest priced and best-tasting wine): The 2015 Harlan Estate is a Bordeaux style red blend from Napa Valley that earned a rating of 100 from more than one publication. Flavor and aroma profiles run the gamut from dark fruit, to crushed rocks, cured meats, and dried tobacco. There’s a lot going on in this glass, and it’s on our menu for $1334.

What is one bottle of wine you plan to have on the table at Thanksgiving? Schloss Vollrads Riesling, $23.99. If you had to pick, would you rather drink only reds or only whites? Reds. What is your least favorite wine trend? Canned wines. If you have a private collection, what’s your favorite bottle? Chateau La Grande Roche Napa Cabernet What’s the best way to pick out a bottle of wine when you know nothing about the selection? Ask one of our expert wine specialists here at Joseph’s Beverage Center.

Deal (amazing special): Chateau du Haut— Queray Red Bordeaux Superieur. Now $7.99, was $15.99. Unreal (your highest priced and best-tasting wine): Bond Cabernet, $799.99. Who would you most like to share a bottle of wine with? My wife. What’s your favorite food and wine pairing? Steak and a big, bold cabernet. What bottle will you uncork to celebrate the end of 2020? Veuve Clicquot.

Steal (great, low price): The Mettler Old Vine Zinfandel from Lodi, California is a great wine for the price. We offer glass pours for $12.95 and the bottle for $49. It may not be the cheapest wine on our wine list, but it has the best price for the taste. Deal (amazing special): Every Wednesday we offer Wino Wednesday. All of our bottled wines $28 and under are $5 off and bottles $29 and up are $10 off.

Rosie’s Italian Grille Phil Barone, Owner 16

Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano

Courtney Barber, Managing Partner

Steal (great, low price): Imagery Cabernet or Chardonnay, 375ml for $4.99

Unreal (your highest priced and best-tasting wine): One of our highest priced ones is the Caymus Cabernet from Napa, California. It is available on our Captain’s List by the bottle for $125. It is a very rich and fruity wine.

Q+A

What is one bottle of wine you plan to have on the table at Thanksgiving? Z. Alexander Brown Red Blend— It’s smooth and fruity and pairs well with everything! Are boxed or canned wines worth trying? Yes! They are a great value and you can try a few different varieties at one sitting (when at home) if your mood changes throughout the night. What’s your favorite food and wine pairing? From our menu, our Sea Scallop Risotto with our Sea Sun Chardonnay.

What is one bottle of wine you plan to have on the table at Thanksgiving? For Thanksgiving, we have a tradition where my wife and daughters make handmade ravioli with red sauce for our first course. We will probably enjoy this dish with the Earthquake Zinfandel from California. If you had to pick, would you rather drink only reds or only whites? A full-bodied and dry red wine. If you have a private collection, what’s your favorite bottle? At Rosie’s we have the Captain’s List on our wine menu. This list is like my private collection that I offer to our guests. My favorite bottle would be the Frank Family Winston Hill Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. What is your favorite local winery? One of my favorite local wineries is The Lumberyard Winery and

When did you first realize you loved wine? As soon as I took my first sip.

Supply in Napoleon, Ohio. They have a nice selection there and we even take our food trucks out there from time to time, too. What’s your favorite food and wine pairing? For white wine I would say any of our fresh catch fish (or Mahi Mahi when we have it in stock) prepared grenobloise style with the La Crema Chardonnay from Sonoma. For red wine I would have to say our baby lamb chops with the Caymus Cabernet from Napa, California. What bottle will you uncork to celebrate the end of 2020? After the year we have had I would need to break into the tequila. All kidding aside, if I would open up the most expensive bottle of wine we have at Rosie’s because we survived 2020. That would be the Joseph Phelps Insignia, which is a Bordeaux red blend from Napa Valley, California.

Basil Pizza & Wine Bar Michael Gregg, Beverage Director/Sommelier Q+A

What is one bottle of wine you plan to have on the table at Thanksgiving? You ask me this question every year, and every year I give the same answer: Champagne! Of course, my table will have 4-7 other bottles (Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Syrah…just to name a few), but Champagne is the one that will always be there! What are your favorite, and least favorite, wine trends? My favorite is the reduction of interference in the winemaking process. Wine is a gift from the earth; the less we do to it, the better it is! Which is a perfect segue into my least favorite trend: Bourbon/ Whiskey barrel aging. It is pretty much the equivalent of dumping a bottle of vanilla extract into an otherwise perfect (or not so perfect) bottle of wine. What’s a great pairing that readers would find surprising? Riesling with anything! Many people still stigmatize Riesling due to Black Cat and Blue Nun hangovers, but the reality is that most Rieslings (especially from the Mosel and the Pfalz in Germany and Alsace, France) are bone-dry, dripping with stone-fruit flavors, intense minerality, and skull-crushing acidity. They pair with nearly everything. Forget what you thought you knew and give Riesling another chance!

Steal (great, low price): We have a multitude of great value bottles at Basil, but if I’m forced to pick one (or two), I’d have to go with the Clos du MontOlivet Cotes du Rhone ($35, Rhone, France) and the Gorman Zachary’s Ladder Red Blend($60, Red Mountain, Washington). They are both fun, funky, peppery and rich. And they both taste like they should be priced at double the cost. Deal (amazing special): Visit us on Winesday (every Wednesday from 4pm-close), when every bottle is half-off! Unreal (your highest priced and best-tasting wine): I take some issue with this question, because the highest priced bottle is rarely the best tasting bottle. Therefore, I will address the latter (and even then, taste is subjective!). Right now, I’m really enjoying the way that the Domaine Serene Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir ($70) is drinking. It’s silky texture and gorgeous cherry spice notes make it a special treat.

Final Cut

Andrew Carter, Manager Q+A

What is one bottle of wine you plan to have on the table at Thanksgiving? Beaujolais Village! It’s an extremely food friendly wine that will pair with many of the different dishes on the table. Plus it’s an excuse for me to drink one of my absolute favorite styles of wine. What’s your favorite food and wine pairing? While I love to play with new and unexpected pairings there’s nothing quite like the classics. There’s something to having Cabernet Sauvignon with Ribeye or Oysters with Chablis. One of my personal favorites is pasta with tomato sauce and Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. The tomatoes have so much acidity that they need a wine that can match that as well as be robust enough to handle some of the richer elements in the dish. It’s a simple pairing but it’s something I can come back to again and again. What are your favorite, and least favorite, wine trends? There are a lot of interesting wine trends out there now. Favorite— we are seeing more and more female winemakers in the industry which is something that I am very excited about. Least favorite– bourbon barrel wines. When did you first realize you loved wine? It was a cheap bottle of Chianti that started it for me. I got into an argument with a friend about the dryness of the wine and he was right. I can be competitive, so I started reading about wine to figure out why I was wrong… and I just kept going. When did you first realize you wanted a career related to wine? I had been working in restaurants for awhile and I had always gravitated to-

November 1 • November 30

Steal (great, low price): Pecchenino San Luigi Dolcetto di Dogliani. $35. Deal (amazing special): Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. $100. Unreal (your highest priced and best-tasting wine): We are very fortunate to have several wines in this category. First growth Bordeaux, Opus One, Hundred Acre, etc... we’re getting in both Harlan Estates and Bond this year which I am very excited about. This year I’ve had some fantastic Australian wines, so I find myself lingering by our Penfolds Grange. It’s a wine that changed the industry regarding both Australian wine and Shiraz. Penfolds Grange is $780.

wards wine, but I never took it too seriously. Then I had the opportunity to work at a small winery in Michigan, which sounded fun and different. I had never considered a career related to wine, especially in the area, but working there changed that. What is your favorite local winery? The one that I am most excited about is Gideon Owen Winery in Port Clinton. Due to COVID-19 I haven’t been able to go to many wineries this year, but I love the direction and the idea behind what they are doing. I am really looking forward to going there soon. What bottle will you uncork to celebrate the end of 2020? My usual answer would be a bottle of Champagne, however after this year… I’m thinking Bourbon.

Q+A

Answers provided by Gillig Winery Nikki Gillig, Owner/General Manager What is one bottle of wine you plan to have on the table at Thanksgiving? I love to serve our off-dry Riesling at Thanksgiving. This is a perfect wine that is not too dry and not too sweet. I would recommend an off-dry one for Thanksgiving as it pairs lovely with turkey. What’s your favorite food and wine pairing? We love to do wine and food pairings here at Gillig Winery. We have every food item on our menu paired with one of our wines. My favorite pairing is our “Tickle Your Tastebuds” sandwich paired with our Gewurztraminer wine. What’s a great pairing that readers would find surprising? We love to pair wines with foods that people would normally not expect. For example, at one of our wine and food events we paired our Merlot with scallops. This worked so well because the scallops were dressed with a balsamic glaze and served on hearty, cheesy polenta. It was absolutely delicious!

Steal (great, low price): All of our fruit wines are extremely popular and are reasonably priced. Our most popular is Khaleesi, our easy drinking raspberry dragon fruit wine. Deal (amazing special): I believe the majority of our white wines and red wines are a great deal. The majority of the grapes are sourced from California, but without California prices. High quality, but not high prices. Unreal (your highest priced and best-tasting wine): Our Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is our highest priced wine and the highest quality. The grapes are sourced from Alexander Valley in California. Lovely with a nice steak dinner.

loved to explore the wine world. When we began, over 20 years ago, we knew very little about wine. I loved learning the process of how wine was produced and how different wines pair with different foods. It has really become part of our lifestyle. I learned that wine goes with anything and I love teaching and introducing others to the wine world. When did you first realize you wanted a career related to wine? I’ve always loved wine, but didn’t realize I could actually make a career out of it until 2009. Prior to owning the winery, I was a pharmacist. I really enjoyed being

a pharmacist but had a passion for wine and knew I wanted to do something with it, I was just not sure what or how. What really got the idea in motion was when we were visiting a winery in Traverse City, MI in 2009, and we were having a conversation with the winery owners about how they owned and operated the winery. As we were leaving the winery, I told my husband, “That’s what I want to do! I want to own and operate a winery!” At the time he thought I was crazy to leave my career as a pharmacist, but with lots of research and determination, we made my dream a reality. Gillig Winery has been open since March 2016.

When did you first realize you loved wine? Early on in our marriage, my husband, Trevor, and I

You can hear the excitement in Chef Bobby Rosenberger’s voice as he goes over the dishes available at his new pop up restaurant SHRMPBRGR. (Yes, that is the correct spelling.) The menu boasts the titular SHRMPBRGR, a shrimp patty with salsa, iceberg lettuce and other toppings, served on a bun. And there’s Shrimp Moco Loco, served over pineapple rice with tomato gravy and a sunny-side up egg. There’s a West Coast Roast, also served over pineapple rice with salsa and bok choy. For dessert, SHRMPBRGR serves Ice Pops, with proceeds from sales contributed to the fight against global warming. To try these eclectic taste treats, don’t wait too long to visit 215 N. Summit St., sharing space with Balance Grille near Jefferson Ave.. “I’m going to be there indefinitely, but it won’t last more than 20 weeks,” Rosenberger said.

From Detroit to Toledo

SHRMPBRGR is a response to COVID-related slow down in the restaurant business; a passion project for Rosenberger whose full-time gig is as the Executive Chef at the Detroit Club in Michigan. “Because (The Detroit Club) is a hotel, we haven’t reopened yet. They’ve been taking this time to do some renovations. I was bored throughout the pandemic, so I decided I’d find a way to cook,” he said. Rosenberger was put in touch with Prakash Karamchandani, owner of Balance Pan-Asian Grille. The pair agreed to let Rosenberger open his temporary restaurant at Balance’s downtown location on N Summit St. “We liked each other’s ideas, and we talked a little bit about it and we thought we could make something happen. It kind

of snowballed on me, to be honest— it’s bigger than I thought it was going to be. But I think we can pull it off, and we’re excited about it,” Rosenberger said.

Re-energized

Rosenberger, despite being only 28, has already worked in the food industry for 15 years, starting as a dishwasher for a Coney Island location at the age of 13. “I started cooking about a year or two later. I did that for some time, then left to work in a factory for a little while, and realized I missed (the buzz of the kitchen). So I came back with a job cooking in a steakhouse, and just worked my way up in the industry from there.” Working on SHRMPBRGR has reenergized Rosenberger. “This is my first project that is going to be a business that’s my own. I love to cook, I love to be creative and design menus. So this project is going to be really important, because it’s the first time I get the chance to see if I have the chops to make it by myself.” SHRMPBRGR is open Thursdays through Sundays but Rosenberger would be happy to expand the days. And if it proves really popular, well...who knows? “I like to not get ahead of myself, because I have a tendency to do that and get a little overoptimistic. But if this proves to be successful, and the people of Toledo like it, I would be entirely open to opening a brick and mortar location in Toledo.” Noon-3pm and 5-8pm, Thursday through Sunday 215 N Summit St. 419-243-2222

Ben Cohen, left, Sam Woldenberg are Heavy Color. Transcendent is a lofty word to apply to a piece of music, or its songwriters. But one really can’t resist the word when listening to a piece by Heavy Color— the Toledo-based avant-psychedelia/electronica duo made up of songwriters, producers and multi-instrumentalists Ben Cohen and Sam Woldenberg. Their newest release is not your typical album, but rather a soundtrack. Actor Mark Ruffalo is the lead producer of a “paradigm shifting” documentary film, Invisible Hand, which showcases the Rights of Nature movement. The film is currently available to download or stream online. (via the film’s website invisiblehandfilm.com) We talked with Heavy Color and asked about their opportunity to score this powerful film. Ben Cohen: In 2014, the Lake Erie Algae Bloom reached a critical point, and Toledo water was deemed unsafe for consumption or even showering due to rising lake levels of nitrogen from agricultural runoff pollution, among other factors. Local activists formed Toledoans for Safe Water, a grassroots organization that crafted the Lake Erie Bill Of Rights. That became an inspiration to many around the globe resulting in the Rights of Nature Legislative movement which asserts that “natural ecosystems have an inalienable right to not only exist but to flourish.” The fight for the Lake Erie Bill of Rights is a central storyline in the film Invisible Hand, tying Toledo to the worldwide movement. How did this project come your way? Was there an audition process? Cohen: I approached the directors of the documentary Invisible Hand because we were seeking ways to further align our artistic voice with the ideals (evident in the film). I had seen some press about Invisible Hand and was inspired to reach out to offer our music for a future project. We were certainly surprised when Joshua from Invisible Hand responded by asking if we could write and produce the score in less than a month.

November 1 • November 30

Explain your approach to this project, in the sounds and vibe you chose, as well as in terms of the emotions that were stirred up while creating it… Sam Woldenberg: It felt like pretty heavy subject matter. The approach of finding an underlying holistic narrative to guide the music made the project an emotional journey of sorts. Working with (film producers) Public Herald and (album producers) Curious Music made the generative process fresh, exciting, and collaborative. To have that kind of cooperation and support is special and we all share the common goal that we can accomplish something good with this work and enact real change or help spark action. Why was it important for you to commit to this project? To be the devil on your shoulder, there’s plenty of incentive for an electronic music artist to make dancebeats and try to get virally-popular. Woldenberg: We want to be part of the solution. The world feels very heavy. We think music has an incredible capacity to heal. Cohen: There are so many ways the arts connect with us as emotional beings. We have been striving to find a balance between making work that we find personally interesting but is perhaps more esoteric and projects that are rooted in tangible issues that align with our ideals that can help manifest real change. It is important for us to use our platform, however small, to help shine light on injustice and offer whatever hope we can. Being a member of the Earthwork Music Collective has been an ongoing inspiration to keep that alignment front and center as a guiding principle. The soundtrack for Invisible Hand is now available via Curious Music as CDs, followed by vinyl copies in January. For more information visit heavycolorheavycolor.com

Murder and mystery in 1920’s Ohio

More than 37 million Americans suffer with chronic rhinosinusitis, a persistent inflammation of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses that causes a wide range of unpleasant physical symptoms, such as headache, facial pressure and pain, sinus drainage, nasal congestion, reduced sense of smell and taste, tooth pain, bad breath, and fatigue. These recurrent symptoms can significantly interfere with daily activities and diminish one’s quality of life. Dr. Christopher Perry of Toledo Clinic ENT has helped thousands of chronic sinusitis sufferers (including pediatric patients) in our area breathe easier and feel better through a revolutionary, minimally invasive endoscopic procedure called Balloon Sinuplasty. During this procedure, a small, flexible balloon catheter is placed through the nostril and into the blocked sinus. The balloon is then inflated to gently restructure and open the sinus passageway, restoring normal sinus drainage and function. The procedure is similar in many ways to the balloon angioplasty technique used to open narrowed coronary arteries.

The work of Dayton native Jess Montgomery will take center stage at the Wood County District Public Library’s monthly Coffee Talk Book Discussion. The Widows, a thrilling mystery set in 1920’s Ohio, is the subject for the virtual meeting. The book tells the tale of a woman whose sheriff husband is murdered while transporting a prisoner. She vows to take revenge, but soon learns her husband’s life was not what it seemed. To register, email woodref@wcdpl.org. 11am-12:15pm. Thursday, November 19. 251 Main St., Bowling Green.

“I’ve done thousands of these procedures, and found that Balloon Sinuplasty is just as effective at relieving symptoms of nasal congestion, sinus pressure and drainage, and headaches, and its long-term success rate is equal to or better than traditional sinus surgery. Dr. Perry explains, “Conventional endoscopic sinus surgery involves the removal of bone and tissue to open up blocked sinus passageways, which can lead to post-operative pain and scarring and often requires uncomfortable nasal packing to control bleeding. In stark contrast, Balloon Sinuplasty simply restructures the bone and tissue around the natural opening into the sinus, which translates into less pain, less bleeding, faster recovery times, and no need for painful nasal packing.” The Balloon Sinuplasty procedure until now has been performed in an operating room setting with the patient asleep under general anesthesia. But Dr. Perry offers a pioneered form of the procedure called In-Office Balloon Sinuplasty, which is performed right in the office using only a topical and local anesthetic. Not only is In-Office Balloon Sinuplasty more convenient and cost-effective than surgery at a hospital or surgery center, but it’s also just as safe and effective. What’s more, patients do not have to worry about the risk of side effects or complications associated with general anesthesia. Dr. Perry notes, “The experience is much like going to the dentist’s office to fill a cavity. The advent of In-Office Balloon Sinuplasty makes it possible for me to help chronic sinusitis sufferers who do not want general anesthesia or who are unable to tolerate it. In essence, more patients who would benefit from this procedure now have access to it. Our Balloon Sinuplasty patients are also very pleased to learn that there is only a short down time following the in-office procedure. In fact, most patients are able to return to work within a day or two,” says Dr. Perry. Balloon Sinuplasty isn’t appropriate for every patient, and traditional endoscopic sinus surgery is still an important tool utilized by ENT surgeons. But patients who are candidates for this revolutionary procedure very often find long-awaited relief from their debilitating sinusitis symptoms—and that’s something worth celebrating. Dr. Christopher Perry of Toledo Clinic ENT is located at 5800 Park Center Court, Suite C, in Toledo. For more information about In-Office Balloon Sinuplasty, please visit www.ToledoClinicENT.com.

Beginning Nov. 21, the Toledo Museum of Art will display “Telling Stories: Resilience and Struggle in Contemporary Narrative Drawing”, an exhibition of contemporary pieces including twenty-five large and small-scale works, along with an animated film. The featured artists, Amy Cutler, Robyn O’Neil and Annie Pootoogook, create their art through graphite or pencil. Other artists also use colored pencil, oil sticks and gouache, according to TMA for the exhibit, Robin Reisenfeld. “One of the rationales for this exhibition was to bring together three artists who chronicle the complexity of human relationships and the struggles with societal and economical concerns. Bring together these three different artists, each one creates a different approach towards their world and addressing these concerns,” said Robin Reisenfeld.

CALL 419-578-4357 • ALTERNATIVEPHYSICALTHERAPY.COM

Robyn O’Neil, who has lived in Nebraska and Texas, utilizes weather themes in her landscape art. “O’Neil is known for these cautionary tales of men’s careless stewardship of the world,” Reisenfeld said. O’Neil does larger scale works; one piece in particular is 14 feet wide.

Showcasing expression Three perspectives

Brooklyn’s Amy Culter creates imagery pieces that reflect her personal experiences. Typical art subjects in her piece are women and animals— more specifically, her artwork portrays women’s domestic labor. Annie Pootoogook is an Inuit artist from Cape Dorset, Canada whose art documents her community’s life who intertwines activities associated from past traditions in her community such as hunting and camping, but also reflects and bridges the present in her community as they utilizing media and technology, as well as consumer products. Most of her work embodies her community’s belief system, while making connections to their past lifestyles or traditions and carrying it forward to the present.

November 1 • November 30

Robin Reisenfeld curated this exhibition to showcase the work of contemporary drawing— a form of expression of human emotions and life that’s accessible to anyone with a pencil. The target audience of this exhibition are those familiar with drawing— especially a younger audience. “Drawing is an outlet that’s an important means like reading and writing,” explains Reisenfeld. A preferred method for young artists who have found new and exciting opportunities for the medium, the exhibition of drawings will appeal to a broad audience, but with proof that materials within reach are also expressive instruments. “Telling Stories: Resilience and Struggle in Contemporary Narrative Drawing” is on view from Nov. 21, until Feb. 14, 2021.

Week of October 1

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;At every crossroad, be prepared to bump into wonder,â&#x20AC;? wrote Scorpio poet James Broughton. I believe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect advice for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks. Broughtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words inspired me to come up with a corollary for you to heed, as well: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At every turning point, be ready to stumble into an opportunity disguised as a problem.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got one more clue for you. Last night in my dream, my Scorpio poetry teacher offered an additional thought thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-suited for you right now: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to take a magic twisty leap into the big fresh future, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to have one last wrestling match with the past.â&#x20AC;?

ÂŠ2020

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries poet Charles Baudelaire championed the privilege and luxury of changing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind. He thought it was natural and healthy to always keep evolving beyond oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous beliefs and attitudes, even if that meant one might seem inconsistent or irrational. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is lamentable,â&#x20AC;? he once proclaimed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that, among the Rights of Human Beings, the right to contradict oneself has been disregarded.â&#x20AC;? I bring these thoughts to your attention, my dear Aries, so that you will feel at peace with the prospect of outgrowing any rules, strategies, and approaches that have worked pretty well for you up until nowâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but that have outlived their usefulness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The horoscopes I write for you are my love letters to you. As I compose them, my goal is to celebrate your beauty and strength even as I discern whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacking in your life and what confusions might be undermining you. In my philosophy of life, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how love works at its best: remaining keenly aware of the good qualities in the beloved while helping them deal with their problems and heal their wounds. I suggest that in the coming weeks you adopt my approach for your own close relationships. Your allies are in special need of both your praise and your rectifications. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When Charles de Gaulle was 15, he wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;General de Gaulle,â&#x20AC;? a short story in which he envisioned himself, many years in the future, as a general in the French army. Thirty-five years later, his imaginary tale came true, as he became a general of the free French army fighting against Germany in World War II. In the spirit of de Gaulleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prophecy, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I encourage you to compose a comparable tale about your own destiny. Have fun as you visualize in great detail a successful role you will play years from now. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1903, archaeologists digging in a cave in Cheddar Gorge, England found the fossilized remains of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cheddar Man,â&#x20AC;? a person who had lived there 9,000 years earlier. In 1997, DNA tests revealed that a teacher named Adrian Targett, who was currently living a half-mile from the cave, was a direct descendant of Cheddar Man. I propose that we invoke this scenario to serve as a metaphor for you in the coming months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, your ancestors are likely to play a bigger role in your life than usual. Connections between you and them will be more vivid and influential. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to the film Amadeus, composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1791) and Antonio Salieri (1750â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1825) were adversaries who disliked and undermined each other. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidence that this was not true. In fact, they collaborated on creating a cantata that was performed by Nancy Storace, a famous singer they both admired. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely they would have cooperated in such a way unless they had a working relationship. I suspect that a comparable correction is due in your world, Leo. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to dissolve a misunderstanding or restore a lost truth or fix an old story that got some of the facts wrong.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the 1970s, an Englishman named Stephen Pile founded the Not Terribly Good Club. It was designed to be a gathering place for mediocre people whose lives were marked by inadequacy and incompetence. To organize his thoughts about the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s themes, Pile eventually published a book entitled The Book of Heroic Fallures. Unfortunately, it sold so many copies that he got expelled from his own club. He had become too successful! I suspect that in the coming months, you, too, will have an experience akin to his. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find interesting success in an area of your life where you have previously been just average. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Actor Gary Busey is quirky and kooky, but his peculiar rants sometimes make good sense. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one that I suspect might be useful for you to consider during the next two weeks: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for everyone to understand that they are to love their enemies, simply because your enemies show you things about yourself you need to change. So in actuality enemies are friends in reverse.â&#x20AC;? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to imply that your adversaries and nemeses are totally accurate in their critiques of you. But there may be a thing or two you can learn from them that would truly improve your life. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Musician John Coltrane described one of his life goals as follows: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are forces out here that bring suffering to others and misery to the world,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I want to be the opposite force. I want to be the force which is truly for good.â&#x20AC;? Even if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an intention at the core of your long-term plans, Capricorn, I recommend you consider adopting it during the next few weeks. Being a vigorous and rigorous force for good will be especially needed in the worlds you inhabitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and will also result in you attracting interesting benefits. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the bad boy of bridge,â&#x20AC;? Aquarianborn Geir Helgemo is a champion in the card game of bridge. At times he has been the top-rated player among Open World Grand Masters. But in 2019, he was suspended from the World Bridge Federation for a year because he tested positive for taking testosterone supplements that are banned. Why did he do it? He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said. There is some scientific research suggesting that testosterone may boost cognitive function, but other evidence says it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to use Helgemoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foolishness as a teaching story for your use, Aquarius. According to my astrological analysis, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re approaching the peak of your competence and confidence. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need for you to cheat or sneak or misbehave in a misplaced effort to seek an even greater advantage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;I might really have gone round the bend,â&#x20AC;? confessed Botswana author Bessie Head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean people who get visions and see a gigantic light descend on them from the sky canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be all there, but if so I feel mighty happy. If one is happy and cracked itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much better than being unhappy and sane.â&#x20AC;? Although I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect your state of mind in the coming weeks will be as extreme as Bessie Headâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Pisces, I do suspect it will have resemblances to her dreamy cheerfulness. If I had to give a title to this upcoming phase, it might be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wise Folly.â&#x20AC;? And yes, I do think your â&#x20AC;&#x153;crazinessâ&#x20AC;? will generate useful insights and fertile revelations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to ask for help and seek support. I urge you to be forthright in doing so! Resources that have been inaccessible before may be more available. You may be able to capitalize on the luck and skill of allies who have benefited from your favors in the past. Their successes could bring you blessings and their breakthroughs should inspire you to instigate breakthroughs in your own life. Ask them to lend their influence in your behalf.
