POPULAR “COSMETIC SEASON� PROCEDURES Spring is known to be the busiest time of year for cosmetic medicine, and there’s good reason. Many clients are trying to get procedures done before summer, or may be treating themselves to something nice after the holiday season ends. Clients may also be sticking to fitness or health goals, and need us to step in to help where nature will not cooperate. It doesn’t hurt that tax season is providing many with additional funds that may be earmarked for a special procedure this year.

"REAST !UGMENTATION The most sought-after procedure is likely breast augmentation, especially since we do it under local anesthesia now. It’s easier and more affordable than ever before, starting at just $4,000. Popularity spikes this time of year because recovery is complete before summer. &AT 2EMOVAL No matter how great you do in the gym, there’s always a couple spots that won’t go away. Let us do the work to keep your momentum up and help you stick

to your goals. Don’t’ think of Smart Lipo or Coolsculpting as replacements for good diet and exercise, but rather as great additions to help where nature won’t.

6EIN 4REATMENTS With shorts right around the corner, it’s time to clean up those winter veins.

Quick and easy treatment will get those legs in shape for any attire, and doing it this time of year will have you ready for the first warm days of the year. )NJECTABLES Popular year-round, injectables like Botox or Juvederm are even more popular as we get into summer season. We have a short summer here, so making the most of our warmest few months will typically include some injectable correction before those summer photos are taken.

To help meet Spring demand, Luxe is open 6 days per week with extended hours.

Meet the Mayors

Communities benefit fr

By Pat Nowak

om Combined Strength

While Toledo is the hub of Northwest Ohio, our area is a blend of communities that add vitality and synergy to the region. These cities and towns that come together to cooperate on regional issues by combining their strengths, encourage population growth, harmony and business development.

We spent some time with mayors in NW Ohio so that you can get to know them.

Richard Carr Mayor of Maumee

419-897-7100; mayor@maumee.org

Craig Stough

Mayor of Sylvania 419-885-8925; mayor.cityofsylvania.com Craig, a lifetime Sylvania area resident, is a graduate of Sylvania Schools and The Ohio State University. He is married with three grown children and four grandchildren. He practices architecture at Stough and Associates, where he works with his daughter. He has been mayor of the city of Sylvania for 21 years What is your vision for your city/village? To be the best place to live in Northwest Ohio.

What opportunities do you see for the region? Creating a Regional Water Authority would help promote economic development with safe, dependable and abundant water.

What issues do you anticipate? Economic realities are always a challenge to overcome. For Sylvania to remain competitive with other communities we must continue improving all that the community has to offer. The City of Sylvania is nearly built out with little undeveloped land and no longer considered an outer ring community. We are redeveloping old sites, updating infrastructure and improving city services to make them efficient.

Words you live by? Move forward with a vision for a better future.

What advice would you give to the younger you? Maintain a balance between your public and private lives.

What inspires you now? The generosity and positive attitude of people I encounter.

A Lifelong resident of Maumee, Richard is a graduate of Maumee High School, University of Toledo (B.A. Political Science) and University of Toledo College of Law (Juris Doctor). He has been an attorney and partner in the law firm of Miller, Hoch & Carr for 33 years, He was honored with the City of Maumee Outstanding Citizen Award in 1999 and was named a Maumee High School Distinguished Alumni in 2013. He has been mayor five years.

What is your vision for your city/village? My vision for Maumee is a clean, safe city that provides a quality of life our residents enjoy. It is also to be a fiscally sound city where we maintain the lowest taxes/fees in the area while providing the services our resident deserve.

What opportunities do you see for this region? This region needs greater cooperation in consolidating services. A “metropolitan government” is not the answer, but there are services we can consolidate including water, the municipal courts, and dispatching for police/fire.

What issues do you anticipate? Water will be a major issue. For too long water was used as a way for the City of Toledo to make money by passing its operating costs to other area communities, and forcing some communities to annex township residents. We also must increase our efforts to educate our children on the dangers of drugs; the heroin epidemic in Ohio is an issue that cannot be overstated.

Words you live by? It does not matter how much money you have in your bank account, what kind of car you drive, or what kind of house you live in, but the world maybe a better place if you make a difference in the life of a child.

What was a defining moment in your life? Standing in the garbage dump in Guatemala City with “muck” up to my ankles serving lunch to men, women and children who scavenge the dump for recycles to sell and food to eat. This July will be my 20th consecutive year of traveling to Guatemala, Central America on a mission trip to provide service and assistance to a home for abused girls, a nursery school and several rural schools.

What inspires you now? I am inspired by people who silently make a difference in the lives of others.

What was a defining moment in your life? My mother died when I was 13, and my first wife died when our children were 8, 5, & 3. Those life events have taught me…. Do not lose track of the “things” that are truly the most important in your life.

are many ways to achieve your objective, but be patient and take the path that causes the least collateral damage.

Top Docs William G. Martin, MD, FACS

Midwest Eye Consultants 2740 Navarre Ave., Oregon. 419-693-4444. midwesteyeconsultants.com What will healthcare be like in your specialty in coming years?

The outlook for vision care has never been greater.

Nearly anyone who wants to permanently get rid of their glasses for both distance and near has those options available to them through modern technology. Using myself as an example, my vision today is better than it has been since I was a teenager. For those who would rather have glasses or contacts, technology also provides unparalleled choices and quality.

You’d be surprised to know that... my hobby is Stand Up Comedy!

What can I say? Some doctors play golf, other have boats, I write jokes and do stand up.

I wish my patients didn’t….

Misinterpret information on the internet. While an amazing store of information, there is, unfortunately, a lot of misinformation, which can cause unnecessary anxiety.

Following the Doctor’s Orders

Advice— it’s better to heed it than to need it– our medical professionals agree. Whether surgeon or dermatologist, Toledo docs concur: prevention is better than a cure.

Glenn E. Whitted, M.D.

Sarah C. Stierman, M.D. Dermatology Associates, Inc. and Ada Aesthetics 12780 Roachton Rd. #1, Perrysburg 7640 W Sylvania Ave., Ste E, Sylvania 419-872-0777, daohio.com

What inspired you to become a physician? My father died from melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, when I was a teenager. It had a lasting impact on me and how I care for patients.

Toledo Clinic Orthopaedic Surgery 4235 Secor Rd., 419-479-5820 ToledoClinic.com, GlennWhittedMD.com

Why did you pick your specialty?

As a medical student I loved the attitude and the atmosphere in the operating room with the orthopaedic surgeons.

How did you pick your specialty?

I love that Dermatology involves a little bit of everything— acute and chronic problems, all ages of patients, medical and surgical treatment options, and the opportunity to make patients feel good about themselves from the inside out.

What was a defining moment in your life? Going to medical school in Germany, at a time when it was so difficult to get into medical school here.

You’d be surprised to know that: Orthopaedic surgery involves many more biologic treatments now, than pure surgical operations.

What advice would you give to the younger you? Persistence pays off!

How do you know when you’re done for the day? When my staff tell me “That’s everybody, Doc! Good job!”

Matthew A. Molenda, MD, FAAD, MBA

Bravia Dermatology 2000 Regency Ct., Suite 201. 419-948-3376. braviaderm.com What do you do when you leave the office? I usually call my surgery and cosmetic patients during the evening after their surgery to make sure they’re doing well.

What advice would you give to the younger you? Wear sunscreen and take care of your skin. As Benjamin Franklin once said, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

What’s the funniest thing a patient has asked you? If they could put me in their pocket and take me home with them!

I wish my patients didn’t…. watch videos of their operation on YouTube What is the most important part of your morning routine?

Dr. Alexandra Schmucker Van Optical 5307 Monroe St., 419-841-8550 Vanoptical.com What inspired you to become an optometrist?

I received my first pair of glasses in the 3rd grade and instantly saw a new world. It’s cliche to say, but I appreciated the individual leaves on the trees. I also loved going to the optometrist each year to pick out new frames. It was never a doctor’s visit that I dreaded.

I wish my patients didn’t… overwear their contact lenses. I have seen the devastating effects that over wearing contact lenses can cause. Wearing lenses longer than prescribed puts patients at risk for things such as corneal infections,scarring and even vision loss.

What’s the funniest thing a patient has asked you? Do I still have “Cadillacs” in my eyes? It’s common to mispronounce the word “cataract.”

Timothy Ryan, President Ryan Pharmacy and Orthopedic Supply 3340 Dorr St., 419-531-2836 ryanpharmacy.com

Kathi Allen, BSN, R.N. and Director Of Nursing

Foundation Park Alzheimer’s Care Center 1621 S. Byrne Rd., 419-385-3958, foundationpark.com What inspired you to become a nurse? Both my mother and grandmother were nurses and I wanted to be one as well.

How did you pick your specialty? I picked Alzheimers & Dementia as I like trying to figure out why people think the way they think.

You’d be surprised to know… that I lived on a Caribbean Island for 14 years.

I wish my patients didn’t… know they had a memory impairment.

Why did you pick your specialty? It is a family business. I have been working here since I was about 14 years old.

You’d be surprised to know that: I walked onto The Ohio State Buckeye Football Team— however, I didn’t make it.

What advice would you give to the younger you? Don’t try to be everything to everyone. Do what you know best and learn the other stuff as you go.

I feel strongest when: I am surrounded by my family.

I was very fearful as a child due to a bicycle accident where I lost my two front adult teeth. My dentist was a very kind and gentle professional who gave me back my smile and always made me feel safe.

What was a defining moment in your life? Donating my services to create a beautiful smile for a young mother who felt self-conscious and didn’t “deserve” my care, as her husband, who was unemployed, had lost his front teeth in an accident and was embarrassed to interview with new employers. I felt privileged to rebuild his smile. Later on, their five-year-old daughter sent me a photograph to thank me— it showed that the father found work and the whole family was smiling in front of their first house.

“They were wonderful! First time I felt peace,� said Ms. Judith Blinn, a 75-year-old widow and retired attorney describing one of Toledo’s resources. The Toledo Fair Housing Center (TFHC), a not-for-profit Center located at 432 N. Superior St. in Toledo, not only talks the talk but has been walking the walk as it fights injustices that arise in housing issues concerning race discrimination as well as discrimination by virtue of national origin, sex, religion, familial status (presence of children), and disability.

Michael Marsh, CFRE – President and CEO at the TFHC explains, “The Center serves Lucas and Wood Counties. We are not a government agency. We receive funding through grants and [our service] is free and confidential and there are no restrictions on income� for individuals to receive assistance.

Eliminating descrimination

Founded in 1975 by members of The Women of the Old West End and The League of Women Voters, the TFHC adheres to its mission of eliminating housing discrimination to better offer “people access to housing of their choice and to have the opportunities to fulfill their potential� says Sarah Jenkins, TFHC Director of Communications and Outreach.

Ms. Blinn met the criteria to receive help from the TFHC based on evidence that she and her apartment were exposed to a toxic pesticide. While sleeping, at around 7:30 am, she said “I felt droplets in my face� as a mist entered her apartment through open windows Ms. Blinn began experiencing physical reactions to the droplets which turned out to be an exposure to a pesticide applied by a lawn company. She was treated for coughing, tearing of her eyes, difficulty in talking and laryngitis.

When she was advised to stay out of her apartment, Ms. Blinn asked the landlord to release her from her lease.

Her request was denied. After considerable hardship while trying to secure another place to live, Blinn contacted The Toledo Fair Housing Center. It took about a year, but Ms. Blinn, with the help of the TFHC, were able to secure the cancellation of her lease

based in part on her landlord’s failure to honor her request for handicap accommodations, as she also suffers from medical disabilities.

Changes over time

Mr. Marsh said, “When I started [with the TFHC, 20 years ago] it was race that received most of the complaints, now the majority of the complaints come from the disabled.� The correlation between those 55 and over and those suffering from some form of disability is striking. The U.S. Census Bureau reported “In 2008–2012, there were 40.7 million people aged 65 and over in the United States.

Among this older population, about 15.7 million, or 38.7 percent reported having one or more disabilities.� Given the figures from the census bureau it stands to reason that many individuals 55 and over face discrimination for being disabled which brings into play help from the TFHC, especially when reasonable accommodations are needed but denied.

Karen Plocek, TFHC Director of Enforcement and Compliance said the agency endeavors to “help the disabled with needs such as handicapped parking, construction changes such as showers to accommodate the disabled and flashing fire alarms for the hard of hearing and allowing assistance animals when pets are not allowed.�

The TFHC partners with the Ability Center of Toledo, receives help from HUD and the Civil Rights Commission. Ms. Jenkins said the TFHC “refers clients to legal aid if their investigation warrants it.�

Should you, or someone you know, have concerns regarding housing discrimination, contact the Toledo Fair Housing Center at 419-243-6163 or visit toledofhc.org.

Can’t Stand Your CPAP? “I know my brain needs oxygen to survive, but this Darth Vader mask is driving me crazy!”

While CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is considered the gold standard for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there is a problem with patient compliance. Research articles have shown that CPAP compliance can be as low as 50% because of discomfort and inconvenience. Obstructive sleep apnea sufferers who do not wear their CPAP machines increase their risk of heart failure, high blood pressure and stroke and are drowsy during the day and fall asleep while driving. OSA sufferers who stop wearing CPAP often snore, gasp and choke loudly, disturbing their bed partners and placing a strain on relationships and marriages.

A Proven Natural Alternative: Oral Appliance Therapy Still there is hope. Oral appliance therapy, provided by dentists specifically trained in the use of these devices, can be an effective alternative to CPAP. A recent article published in the journal Sleep by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine stated that oral appliances can be used as first-line therapy in patients for treating mildto-moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

A dentist trained in sleep apnea therapy uses a variety of sleep apnea oral appliances that are custom-fitted to help the patient sleep soundly and minimize the effects of sleep apnea, such as snoring. These FDA-approved devices essentially treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea by preventing airway obstruction and allowing the patient to breathe easily and continuously. Worn in the mouth like an orthodontic appliance during sleep, oral appliances keep the soft tissue from collapsing and interrupting normal breathing patterns.

How Do I Know If An Oral Appliance Will Work For Me? Predictable and reliable success is now assured with a new technology called Doppler Eccovision which uses sound waves (sonar) to accurately measure the airway during exhale to enable the dentist to find the exact jaw position for the oral appliance to

20

stabilize the airway. This simple, 20 minute test is noninvasive; the patient simply breathes normally holding a snorkel-like mouthpiece attached to a hollow recording tube as the sound waves record and chart the dimensions of the airway. The recordings show if a dental apnea appliance will be of benefit to restore a stable airway.

Before and after the fabrication of the oral appliance, the patient performs a sleep study in the comfort of their own bed to confirm the success of the treatment. The initial and post-treatment data is evaluated by a board-certified sleep apnea physician and results reviewed by the dentist and patient to see if any adjustments are necessary to achieve the best possible result.

FDA-approved and covered by most medical insurance companies, the benefits of a natural, healthy night’s sleep can be yours without the hassle of masks, tubes, and a machine.

Poco Piatti: Little (Mediterranean) Plates Levis Commons restaurant is next level good

By Jeff Klima The first thing you’ll notice upon entering Poco Piatti, the Mediterranean eatery in the Levis Commons Shopping Center, is the excellent service. Well, you might first notice the long, recessed bar, stocked with every liquor. But the service comes quickly thereafter. A waiter, Zak, showed me to a table and set me up with a drink and a bread basket full of puffy pita triangles, fresh out of the oven, an excellent beginning to a fascinating conversation with the owner and chef, Elias Hajjar.

“You have to love hospitality” “Poco was originally opened 15

years ago on Monroe St., by my father, Labib Hajjar (co-owner of the Beirut restaurant) and Joey Skaff (from Star Diner),” the younger Hajjar tells it.

“In the meantime, I had come home from college and was working at the Beirut and my father thought it would be a good idea for me to go to Poco. I ended up buying Joey out and decided to move [to Levis Commons]. We’ve been here 11 years.”

Hajjar studied Hospitality Management in college, but it’s the experience he gained from his father that he considers his true education. “I learned more in the 15 years working with my father than I did in the threeand-a-half years of college,” Hajjar explained of his time busing tables and working at Beirut. “You can’t really

learn hospitality from a book.”

Shrimp Asti Ingredients:

20 16-20 Black Tiger Shrimp, peeled and deveined 1-2 cups Asti-Spumante Tbsp Chopped Garlic

Oil Tbsp Butter Salt and Pepper

Directions: Add oil to a large saute pan and place shrimp in pan.

Cook for a about 1 minute and turn shrimp.

Add fresh garlic and Asti and bring to a boil Add butter to reduce sauce & serve with chopped parsley

A mixed plate

The restaurant, a large space with tables, booths, a full bar and an event area, is set in the mix of retail shops, great for a light and healthy lunch or an evening date. The menu is eclectic, offering traditional Mediterranean cuisine, like kabobs or lamb chops with innovative gourmet fare such as their delicious chicken or lamb sliders or Eggplant Rollotini. “When we opened Poco, we enlisted the help of an Italian chef from Florida. He brought some of the Italian, Spanish and Greek, we brought the Lebanese.” Poco is great for vegetarians or people with gluten issues, offering an abundance of foods choices with no meat or flour.

While the majority of the recipes come from his family, Hajjar travels to try different restaurants around

the country to see what would work for his customers in NW Ohio.

There’s a lot to pick from menuwise, but when it comes to customer choice, the most popular dishes are the basics: the hummus, the grape leaves and the Saganaki Kasseri, a Greek cheese flamed tableside.

Exceeding expectations

For Poco Piatti, it has always been about the basics.

“The restaurant has evolved over the 11 years from what it was intended to be, to what it is now. It was intended to be strictly a tapas restaurant with small portions and it’s morphed into not only tapas, but larger plates and larger-portion appetizers,” said Hajjar.

The change came after he observed how guests were eating “family style,” everyone sampling from several dishes,

and he wanted to accommodate them, making sure the portions were large enough so everyone got a bite or two.

“It’s not easy running or owning a restaurant. Some people look at it as a glamour job, but it really isn’t.

You’ve got to enjoy it to be good at it.

It’s not something you can do on the side and hope it takes off. You’ve gotta put the time in and make sure the products come out consistently and the staff is doing what they need to be doing. But I love coming to work every day and not knowing what to expect,” said Hajjar, who admits that it isn’t uncommon for him to be at the restaurant six or seven days a week.

If that’s what it takes for Poco Piatti to maintain this level, we say, “Keep up the great work.”

I think I want a band at my funeral!

Pre-arrangement is the best way to make sure you are remembered with a service you create.

New KitchenTrends

This month we talk about kitchen design, one area that can be the most costly renovation in the house. Don’t get too trendy, and make sure to have great features and style that will be fresh, but will last for years.

White kitchens, whether traditional or contemporary, continue their dominance. Gray continues to act as the counterpoint in color for design. Quartz countertops and hardwood floors still rank as everyone’s favorite for their ease of maintenance and durability.

Other trends: Graphic Tile - Today’s kitchen designers are using the modern technology of porcelain tile to create wonderful floors or walls in graphic patterns that are durable and stunning to behold.

Induction Tops - Induction cooktops offer so many advantages with almost no downside. The induction cooktop always stays cool to the touch- not heating up your kitchen and providing extra safety that nothing else offers.

Pet Spaces – Our pets are like family, and now you can incorporate their needs into your kitchen plans. Water and food bowls disappear into special drawers. Also trendy and more permanent are built-in solutions such as a pet bed or feeding station.

Docking/Charging Station – We are connected and need to accommodate our devices in a functional manner which can also be smart looking. Today, drawers are made with built-in USB and electrical connections and options for countertop pop-up units that also keep you connected and charged.

PLACE STAMP HERE

Beverage Centers - For home entertaining, the kitchen is the entertaining hot spot for most people. The emergence of a beverage station is growing and appliance manufacturers now offer wine station dispensers, along with the built-in coffee machines.

50+ Sports Classic

(Tenatively Scheduled for 5/20/17) MAY 20, 2017 9:00 AM

Senior Prom

April 28, 2017 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Thanks to the Area Office on Aging and Toledo Public Schools about 250 older adults each year get an opportunity to go back to school to attend Senior Prom for a night of dinner and dancing. Students and older adults sometimes believe mistaken negative stereotypes about one another. Toledo Public Schools and the AOoA’s Senior Prom at TPS high schools provide a positive intergenerational experience. The students roll out the red carpet for the older adults, put the corsages and boutonnieres on them and serve them food. Older adults and students share the dance floor teaching one another dance moves. Senior Prom attendee Carol Szurminski said, “We seniors were treated like royalty from the moment we walked in the door. Kudos to them all and to you for making this the most enjoyable evening I’ve had in about 20 years.”

People across northwest Ohio age 50 and over are preparing to go for the gold in the Area Office on Aging’s 50+ Sports Classic.

Everything from a full range of track and field events, swimming, tennis, volleyball, and more are available. The event starts with an Opening Ceremony in the morning and is followed by individual and team athletic events for the rest of the day at St. Francis de Sales High School. Events are divided into the following age brackets: 50-54; 5559; 60-64; 65-69; 70-74; 75-79; 80-84; 85-90; 90+. People in Northwest Ohio are shattering myths about aging with their amazing athletic accomplishments, and wearing gold medals around their necks give all new meaning to the term “The Golden Years.”
