Profiles Toledo’s Revitalizer

I have always wanted to... be someone who did something meaningful, successful, served people in the finest way possible, and met the goals of all of those people, while meeting my goals, so we can co-exist and co-enjoy all that we’ve done together.

Kathy Steingraber looks back at the Warehouse District

By Jeff McGinnis Over 20 years ago the Toledo Warehouse District Association (TWDA) took on the task of renovating a group of unoccupied buildings on St. Clair near Lafayette, with hopes of generating interest in the area. In those early stages, many considered the effort futile. But if you believe Kathy Steingraber, former director of the TWDA, she knew the revitalization of downtown would eventually be a success.

“Once we completed the total renovation of the former Civic Auditorium, and it became the Erie Street Market and the Libbey Glass Factory Outlet and I saw the response to that work— up to 600 people each weekend coming on buses— I thought it was going to be a big deal. I really was extremely hopeful and expecting things to kick off well.”

What do you admire in people?

A willingness to work hard with energy to do positive, good things. I love positivity, I hate negativity— it’s a waste of our time and our energy.

What is your pet peeve? Negativity, and laziness.

What is something that most people don’t know about you? Probably that I married at the age of 15, completed high school and graduated from college years later, raised four wonderful, bright kids, and have an amazing family, which I enjoy.

What are the words you live by?

The words of Helen Keller. I can’t quote it directly, but I should be able to, because I read it every morning. Helen Keller once said, very prolifically, ‘I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I will do everything I can.’

Long term version

In 1997 Steingraber convinced the Association to invest in the set of five buildings which is now St. Clair Village, a bustling collection of businesses and residencies. Early success in the Warehouse District helped generate considerable excitement about the downtown area, bolstered by the arrival of FifthThird Field and other projects.

“I can’t tell you the comfort and the pride that I feel in what’s happened here. I just feel so glad that other people have seen the tremendous effort, the historic preservation and revitalization of older neighborhoods (which has brought) joy, and other benefits. It makes the city healthier.”

To acknowledge her impact and her legacy, Steingraber was honored at a celebration with the Cupola Award in recognition of her contributions to the Warehouse District. “It was a total shock, and extremely rewarding. I don’t want to say I was humbled by it, because I’m probably not a real humble person,” she said with laugh.

Kathy Steingraber was honored with the Warehouse District’s Cupola Award in recognition of her revitalization work.

Year-round community investing

By Erin Holden

The holiday season is a time for giving to the causes most dear to us. Mailings asking for donations and celebrations with family and friends remind us the need to take care of each other.

M Living features five people who give back to our community, year-round in different ways. Their philanthropic efforts inspire us to think of those in need throughout the year, not just during the holidays.

Increase Your Happiness One key to longevity is generosity

Generosity is a cherished value for a most Americans. Charitable donations and legacy plans took a big hit in the Great Recession of 2008. Giving has not quite recovered, but studies show one key to longevity is generosity. Older people who are generous tend to have better health, according to Dr. Philippe Tobler, associate professor of neuroeconomics and social neuroscience at University of Zurich.

Other research from Tobler’s group supports the conclusion that spending money on others can be as effective at promoting health as medication or exercise.

Tobler’s study shows a positive association between helping others and life expectancy “because helping others reduces stress.”

If you’ve been meaning to start or increase your support of nonprofits, this is the perfect time. Charitable giving can satisfy a trifecta of goals: supporting worthwhile organizations, increasing your own satisfaction and happiness along with tax benefits.

BOOKS 4 BUDDIES INSPIRES YOUNG MEN TO GIVE BACK Books 4 Buddies, a literacy program that provides leisure books to disadvantaged youth, is an example of what can be accomplished when young people are motivated to help others.

The impetus, Goings explains, to start the program came to her when she was in Atlantawith her grandson. “We were driving near an underserved community called Bankhead Courts, which was built in the 70s over a landfill and has since been demolished,” she said. She turned to her grandson, then 14 years old, and asked him how he would like to help the kids in that community. “That’s how it all really started.”

The program is driven by its teen ambassadors, boys like Goings’ grandson, who volunteer to promote the organization’s mission. The ambassadors are a diverse group of young men who have a passion for helping other young people. “They’re black, they’re white, they’re Latino; they go to public and private high schools,”Goings said. “It has grown and now travelled across the ocean. We now have ambassadors in Asia, Africa, and Europe – they’re all over the place.”

Visit books4buddies.com to make donations, learn about board membership and find out how young men can become ambassadors.

PUTTING HER BEST FOOT FORWARD FOR HANNAH’S SOCKS Hannah’s Socks is an organization that provides socks and undergarments to those affected by poverty, homelessness, and domestic abuse. What drew Executive Director, Robin Laird, to the organization was that it began with a child seeing a need in her community.

“I’ve been an educator my entire career,” Laird said, “from being a special ed. teacher to an assistant principal, I’ve always recognized when kids got involved. There are so many kids who have so much, and they don’t necessar-

10

ily recognize that others are in need.

I liked the idea that this little girl had discovered (this need).”

Laird began volunteering for Hannah’s Socks in 2007 and joined the board in 2008. After she retired as the assistant principal at Perrysburg Junior High in 2014, she became the organization’s Executive Director. The Turner family, who had began the organization was moving, so it was the perfect time for her to take the position.

To contribute, people can donate year-round. Monetary donations go toward buying socks for those in need, or people “can hold sock drives if they’re involved in a church organization, club, or sports team,” Laird explained. “People will hold sock drives for us, which is really helpful, or they can contact us to see if there are volunteer needs.”

To learn more about holding a sock drive or to donate, visit hannahssocks.org.

PAWS AND WHISKERS LEAVE PAW PRINTS ON HER HEART

Jan Aguilar actively volunteers her time with charitable causes, including Paws and Whiskers, Toledo’s no-kill, feline-only shelter. Now a board member since June, she started out volunteering with socialization through Reiki, a type of energy healing.

“I saw that it helped with behavior issues and helped them calm (the cats) down,” Aguilar said. “If they weren’t feeling well, it would stimulate their appetite.”

Aguilar’s volunteering led to more involvement with Paws and Whiskers, including help with events, fundraisers, and raising awareness about the shelter’s needs.

“I’m really passionate about taking care of animals, and I’ve always thought that people tend to look at cats, more than dogs, as being disposable; they’re not,” Aguilar said. “I got involved because there are so many stray and feral cats and I do what I can, in my little world, to help with that.”

She says there are plenty of opportunities for those who want to give back at Paws and Whiskers, starting, of course, with adopting a cat. The organization also needs volunteers to work at the shelter and help out at events.

Check out pawsandwhiskers.org to learn more about the shelter’s work and to make donations.

BRINGING DIVERSE FAITH COMMUNITIES TOGETHER Judy Trautman and her late husband Woody founded the Multifaith Council of Northwest Ohio. The nonprofit, Trautman explains, was created to “bring diverse faith communities in Northwest Ohio together in fellowship, education for greater understanding, and collaborative community work.”

By bringing different faith communities together, the organization has helped mobilize people to improve our community, including building homes for Habitat for Humanity and establishing community gardens.

The Greater Toledo Compassionate Community was formed in 2014 as an initiative of the Multifaith Council.

“We joined literally hundreds of cities across the world with that designation,” Trautman said, adding that the two main goals forthe group is to highlight stories about compassion and to “foster collaboration among religious groups and nonprofits.”

This year, the organization held a Poor People’s Campaign Teach-In. Building upon Martin Luther King’s campaign that he began 50 years ago, the purpose is to bring awareness about ongoing issues of poverty to help develop solutions.

Trautman said: “Over the 15 years since we (the Multifaith Council) were officially founded as a nonprofit, it’s been the storytelling, the recognition of shared humanity, common goals, and the building of a true multi-faith family which has been so comforting to me after the loss of my husband. We sometimes forget, in our daily lives, that there are people out there who share common issues and common solutions. We do a whole lot better if we work together than if we try to go it alone.”

HELPING PRISONERS COPE THROUGH MEDITATION Karen Christie has been meditating with prisoners for over five years. She began by offering classes at the Toledo Correctional Institution. “We had people coming (to meditation classes) on a regular basis, and we really got to know them,” Christie said. “They became practitioners of meditation. Some of them even started groups to help other guys experience meditation, and to live in the prison in a positive, helpful way, rather than just seeing it as a negative.”

After the Toledo Correctional Institution became a highsecurity prison, it became difficult to continue the meditation group going again. Now, Christie and the other volunteers meet with groups of men and women at the Lucas County Corrections Center once a week.

“We hope that we’re planting seeds that they can fall back on at some point in their lives,” Christie said. “More than once I’ve heard inmates say that they got placed in solitary confinement and, when they were in that situation, what they fell back on was meditating.”

Christie said it is also rewarding to see prisoners take what they’ve learned during meditation and make meaningful changes in how they relate to other prisoners.

“Another thing we saw at the prison was the way the men carried the teaching of meditation and compassionate action into work with other men to help them get onto a more positive path... that was just heartwarming.”

Finance Spend Less, Save More

Local experts offer savings tips

By Linda Koss Every year we hope to have more money than we did the year before.

But hoping is not action. Rather than crossing your fingers, take tips from local experts on how to grow your money over the course of 2019.

Wendy Easler, a former financial coach for the United North Financial Opportunity Center, said think before spending money. Easler is now the programs Manager for the McKinney-Vento program for homeless students in Toledo Public Schools. She also gives presentations on credit and money management.

Easler recognizes that it is just too easy to access credit cards. To put a brake on impulse spending, she said consumers must take concrete steps.

“I carry my credit card in a wallet which bears the phrases ‘Think first before spending’ and ‘Pay yourself first’.”

In the past, Easler used a tactic, only bringing enough money into a store to purchase pre-planned items, while locking her purse in the trunk. Then, if she wanted to buy an impulse item, she would have to leave the store and come back in. “And I knew I would never go back in.”

Budgets are boring but helpful Easler suggests creating a written budget while writing down all your purchases each month. “Not only does it make you conscious of your spending, but you can see spending patterns and know where the budget is leaking.” One month, she noticed that she spent more on eating out than she was aware of, and traced it back to less grocery shopping. Since eating out is more expensive than cooking and eating in, Easler made more time for grocery shopping to

cut down on overspending.

Lisa Urbanyi, a financial coach with Crossroads Financial Opportunity Center, part of Lutheran Social Services, is also big on budgets.

“Make a commitment to maintain a budget. You need to track your spending, big or small. A lot of times we focus on big purchases, on cars or television sets. But we don’t pay attention to gas stations and dollar stores. Focus on every penny. Pennies turn into dollars.” Urbanyi noted that if you saved $3.50 five days a week, 52 weeks a year, you would save $910 over the course of the year.

Money for an emergency

The biggest priority, Urbanyi says, should be establishing an emergency savings fund. Aim for what you can do. “They say you should have three month’s salary, but you should try for

at least $1,000. Start with what you can afford. A lot of times people start saving, but then draw money out of it. Start with what you can truly afford and commit to it.”

Also, Urbanyi urges everyone to have one financial goal. “We get our clients to choose SMART goals.

This stands for: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely.

They should have a goal with a deadline, but it can be broken down into specific steps. For instance, home ownership can be broken down into improving credit rating, then saving money for a down payment along with other specific steps you need to take until you reach your ultimate goal (of purchasing a home).”

Fighting Dementia Recognizing and combating the disease

By Erin Holden Finding out that you or a loved one is experiencing the early stages of dementia can be devastating and confusing. How do you know whether a person is having a momentary lapse of memory or whether there is truly cause for concern?

Dr. Selena Nicholas-Bublick, a Promedica neurologist, cites several indicators that point toward dementia.

“It is not unusual to occasionally forget names or appointments, but we generally remember later,” she said.

“If the memory problem is disrupting daily life, however, that may be an issue. Certainly, regularly forgetting important dates or events or asking someone to repeat a question over and over again may warrant further investigation and a health care evaluation.”

Dr. Nicholas-Bublick identifies indicators including forgetting the names of common objects, like substituting the word “watch” with “hand clock.” There might also be personality changes or confusion while doing familiar tasks. If you find yourself struggling through activities that were once second-nature, it is best to share these concerns with your physician.

Unfortunately, there is no pill that a patient can take to slow the progression of dementia, though there are medications to help with the symptoms. Dr. Nicholas-Bublick also notes that the “risk factors for dementia and more specifically Alzheimer’s include age, family history, moderate or severe traumatic brain injuries and cardiovascular risk factors. Monitored control of other risk factors is important, such as cardiovascular (control of blood pressure, blood sugars, cholesterol and heart disease).”

Dr. Nicholas-Bublick points out, there is no “disease modifying agent” for dementia currently. However, researchers have found ways to minimize some of the effects of dementia through brain exercises.

Brain U Online

Dr. John DeBoer, a clinical neuropsychologist with family in Toledo, is a dementia researcher and creator of Brain U Online. DeBoer has spent his career finding ways to fight this debilitating disease. His passion for research arises from his own grandmother’s battle with dementia, explaining that while most people didn’t notice the changes in her during the early stages, he and his mother did. “As she got worse throughout the years, it was very difficult to communicate with her,” Dr. John said. “We lost my grandmother before she was physically deceased. That loss of personhood, that loss of self, that loss of dignity is something that galvanized my experience, pushing me to help prevent and mitigate the onset and intensity of dementia.”

DeBoer developed the exercises that are now being used in Brain U Online and Brain U Clinic while studying at Harvard Medical School.

The exercises, more than just “brain games,” take advantage of novel learning. It is more beneficial to have a patient do brain exercises involving tasks that they have never done before.

“My grandmother could do the New York Times crossword puzzle up to about stage 3 dementia,” Dr. John said. “That’s a very hard puzzle to do, but she did it every day for 25 years.”

Things like this can be a false indicator of someone’s cognitive abilities, so Dr. John stresses the need for “new learning.”

Visit brainuonline.com to sign up for a 14-day free trial. Both online and in-person at the Brain U Clinic, service costs are reimbursable by Medicare. A Netflix documentary and book about Dr. John’s work are both titled This is Dementia.

“We’re trying to get people at the very early stages of the disease.” Dr. John said. “We feel like we can delay the onset by more than two years in people that are in their 50s and 60s. Ultimately, It will have a major impact.”

Dini ng out Sidon Lebanese Grille & Bakery Tradition tastes so good

By Cynthia Nowak The experience of Sidon Lebanese Grille & Bakery begins even before you enter the restaurant. Located in a small shopping center on Bancroft, just west of Ottawa Hills, when you exit your car, you’re met by the scents of Middle Eastern spices and freshbaked bread.

The sleek yet friendly restaurant seems like familiar territory. Toledo is blessed with a number of places which serve good Middle Eastern food so most of us know our way around hummus, stuffed grape leaves and chicken shawarma. But Toledoans who try the Lebanese offerings at Sidon can testify that this is something special.

Owner Bahaa Hariri, who came to our table to talk, says that he and his crew take a great deal of pride in serving up truly authentic Lebanese fare.

“Few other restaurants offer Lebanese food that’s authentic in flavor and in preparation technique,” he adds, “our charcoal-grilled kebabs and our stone-oven pita are our signature items.”

Ah, that pita. Deservedly a customer favorite, this pillowy treat arrives at your table hot and fresh from that stone oven, accompanied by a dish of seasoned olive oil. Losing yourself in this simple perfection, might make you forget that you still have an entrée coming!

Entrees — both hot and cold — are terrific. Kebabs of chicken, beef, lamb or lamb sausage. Pita sandwiches. Salads and appetizers, dips and more — even a strong selection of traditional Lebanese breakfast items.

However, be sure to check the daily specials board as you walk in. This is where you can be surprised with something extra-special, even if you’re a regular. “These are dishes that aren’t typically served in restaurants,” Bahaa explains “It’s truly home cooking.”

Sally Salazar • Ruben Gonzales SALLYMSALAZ@AOL.COM

My lunch partner and I took his suggestion. I dove into the chicken kapsa: two well-seasoned leg-andthigh pieces, oven-roasted and served over rice mixed with peppers, carrots and almonds. The kapsa seasoning is fragrant rather than spicy, redolent of black pepper, saffron, ginger and, perhaps, a touch of cayenne. My partner opted for the vegetable stew with lamb. The vegetables were many and varied: cauliflower, squash, potato, eggplant and carrots, which, along with the tender chunks of lamb, were bathed in a tomato sauce and served with rice pilaf. A choice of salad or soup accompanied both specials.

All this made for two well-filled diners, with plenty to take home in earthfriendly heavy paper takeout containers Sidon provides. We were both too full for dessert, but the rice pudding looked very tempting.

If you’re inspired by your meal at Sidon, you can re-create parts of it at home by visiting the Middle East Market next door. Run by Bahaa’s father, Mahmoud, you’ll find groceries,

Biking for charity

By Erin Holden Retired Sylvania history teacher Alan Thompson has extensive bicycling experience which began in 1980 when he took his first tour through Europe. Later, during a sabbatical from teaching, he biked the U.S., Europe, Africa, Asia, and New Zealand.

No stranger to long journeys on his bike (which he has nicknamed Floyd in honor of Charles Floyd of the Lewis and Clark Expedition), Thompson, at 67 years old, planned a daunting trip, a 12,000-mile trek along the perimeter of all 48 contiguous states.

“Around 2013, I thought I should do one more long trip,” Thompson said.

“I decided to do it for (the benefit of) a couple of causes.”

Now or never

Thompson raised proceeds for Habitat for Humanity, where he has volunteered for years, and also for Save the Children, a charity assisting children in over 100 countries with nutrition, education, and disaster relief.

“That was the seed for the trip,” Thompson said. “I’d had some health issues – a hip replacement and a couple of bouts with skin cancer.” Feeling like it was now or never, Thompson left Toledo in August 2015, traveling east along the Lake Erie coastline into New York along the shore of Lake Ontario, before following the St. Lawrence Seaway, then enjoying the early fall weather all the way down the East Coast.

“Part of my mission was to volunteer with Habitat affiliates along the way,” Thompson said. By the end of the trip he had volunteered at 19 sites and raised a total of over $32,000 for both charities. Though he sometimes traveled with cyclists he met along the way, the trip was mostly done alone.

The mental challenges Thompson faced while traveling on long, sparsely populated stretches of highway, like those in Texas, Montana, and North Dakota, were significantly more taxing than the physical aspects of the long ride.“You see the highway in front of you and it just extends as far as the eye can see. I took it one day at a time. If I thought about the whole thing, it became overwhelming.”

One day at a time

After being hit by a car in the Mojave Desert at dusk, Thompson seriously considered quitting.

“She never even saw me,” he said.

“Luckily, she plowed into a pack on my bike. It was just a matter of inches (and she would have hit me).” After recovering his bike, tangled in a cactus, he had to wait a week for it to be repaired. “I was very lucky to walk away from that,” Thompson reflects.

When Thompson rode into Portland, Oregon after 9,000 miles of cycling in May 2016, he told himself, “I think I’m done.” He began his journey back to Toledo, traveling part of the

way by train, and later finished the trip during the summer of 2017.

The most important factors motivating Thompson was his dedication to the charities that would benefit from his trip.

Donate to the charities on Thompson’s website, usperimeterride.org, and listen to him speak about his incredible journey at the Franciscan Center, 10am-11am. Friday, December 14. Franciscan Center. 6832 Convent Blvd. Sylvania 419-824-3707. lourdes.edu. Free for members of the Lifelong Learning Series and first-time visitors.

Home Holiday Decorations on a Budget Incorporating nature and everyday items

By Erin Marsh Decorating for the holidays doesn’t need to be timeconsuming and expensive. Affordable and eye-catching decorations can be made using everyday materials while drawing inspiration from our surroundings.

Ellen Rodriguez, a local interior designer, explains, “I always like to draw inspiration from nature when decorating. Take a stroll around the yard with a pair of clippers to find beautiful branches, berries, or dried flowers. Colorful seasonal produce like pomegranates and citrus work great and are also easy on the budget!”

Sylvanian Dee Davies, who recently retired after teaching for 40 years (she jokes that was still “not enough”) explains that craft fairs spark her creativity.

She saw this “Merry Mail” board (pictured at right) at a craft show and thought, “I can do that,” so she did! Davies, also made the economical reindeers (pictured, lower left) with “A little hot glue, wine corks, and twigs.”

Kristin Winovich, a local mommy blogger, utilized everyday materials to create a festive winter playland for her children, providing “endless entertainment with a little imagination” for only $20. Using white sheets and balloons, she created the North Pole for her little ones to explore--a doable and fun activity when the grandchildren come to visit.

Winovich, of Sylvania,also cleverly uses winterthemed food and drinks to add to her festive atmosphere, creating yummy coffee drinks or hot chocolate to become an edible winter wonder that the whole family can enjoy.

Rodriguez’ reminder for holiday decorating, “less is more…[and] the more you put up, the more you have to take down.” Dreading the eventual holiday teardown, she advises to keep it simple and use natural decorations which you can easily throw away, avoiding expending energy moving everything to storage.
