MY JOURNEY CONTINUES...

Day 66 with the NutriMost Program

%

Day 1

My suit and jacket size down from a 48 to 44!

It has now been almost 2 and one half months since I began this quest. When the adventure started, on the first day of 2015, my goal was to lose weight that I had carried for years and to feel better—about myself, how I looked and how I responded to the world around me. With this program, I was directed to follow a protocol that allowed me to focus on the food I was eating. I had not done that for quite some time. The selections I now make for my daily meals are not complicated or restrictive, but they are healthier than my menu choices just a few months ago.

Plentiful protein and an abundance of vegetables and fruit are now the norm. Gone are the cravings for sweets and starchy snacks.

I have had to make adjustments by planning ahead to make good choices for me to eat. Getting to the store to buy foods that work for me and thinking ahead when dining out have been minor bumps in an otherwise smooth road.

Other adjustments have been much easier- adjusting to losing 5 inches in my waist and having my suit jacket size come down from a 48 to a 44 ( the size I had worn decades ago when I first graduated from college) have been pleasant and satisfying.

While I still do not have the agility of a cat, I can now move and do household tasks without discomfort or significant exertion.

The Nutrimost program has changed my life - giving back the confidence and the spring in my step that I had lost somewhere along the way over the past 20-plus years. Many friends and acquaintances have contacted me to tell me they have noticed this transformation, and that they are proud of me. I am not sure it is something to be proud of, but I know I feel tremendous.

Thanks to Nick Dumas, who has really been a steady influence for me throughout this journey. While I have told you that it has not been difficult, there certainly have been times when I needed that extra boost of encouragement and Nick and his staff have always been there cheering me along. Call me and I will be happy to tell you more. Call Nick and he will help you to get started.

Happy days are here again New ways to express yourself this season

JETTA S 2015

Try a little teamwork

This is your chance to bend it like your favorite soccer player, make your dream an in-living -color reality or to take fan mania to the next level. The Toledo Area Soccer Association has built an amazing roster of over 1000 ball-chasing enthusiasts who share a love of the game.

Players emphasize that it is all about great teamwork and finding the perfect team fit, so everyone thrives while enjoying the ultimate in friendly, competitive fun. TASA is offering a fantastic opportunity to get you off the sidelines to feel the turf under your feet and enjoy the precise rhythm of maneuvering the ball down the field with your teammates.

New teams will be forming in mid-April, and spots are always open to those that have never played, as well as for those with experience. “Anyone can play; you don’t have to be in prime shape,” stated Richard Parish, TASA president.

Teams are for adults in age categories ranging from 18 to 50+ for men and women, as well as mixed ages and co-ed. Games are held Sundays through Thursdays in the evenings. During the winter months, matches are held indoors at the Maumee Soccer Center (1620 Marketplace Dr., Maumee) and games are outdoors during the warmer months, at the Catholic Youth Association Field (555 S. Holland Sylvania Rd.). “We welcome anyone curious about joining to come out and watch the teams play and ask questions,” Parish said.

No time for grieving in City Politics

by Johnny Hildo

SANDRA DRABIK (R?)

It remains one of the most cutting smackdowns in the history of American politics.

During the presidential campaign of ‘88, Veep candidate Dan Quayle tried to turn his youth from a liability into a strength by comparing himself to JFK. In response, his opponent Lloyd Bentsen famously said, “I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you are no Jack Kennedy.”

It would be a stretch to call former Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins a friend of this column, but we knew him as a public figure well enough. And let us be the first to say: Sandra Drabik, you are no Mike Collins.

In our recent ruminations on who would likely jump into the fray to fill out the last two years of Collins’ term, we provided an exhaustive list. Little did we know how exhausting the final list might be.

Apparently, the shock and sorrow of losing a husband wears off quickly, if the strange rebound of Collins’ widow Ms. Drabik is any indication. She isn’t too shocked and saddened to start calculating and conniving in a run for office.

That’s right. Sandra Drabik, high-powered lawyer from Sylvania, is considering running for Mayor of Toledo. To complete her late husband’s legacy, she says. Drabik thinks she compares favorably to Collins, the unassuming son of working class Toledo, the former Marine and beat cop. We say, not so fast.

What did she know, and when did she Noe it?

Drabik grew up far from the mean streets of Toledo. She graduated from Sylvania Southview High School and still owns a house in Sylvania, purchased in 2001 for a cool $279,000. She went to law school and became a highly placed member in Republican gubernatorial administrations, including those of George Voinovich and Bob Taft.

No grunt work in the trenches for our Sandy. Instead she worked in the corridors of power. Did we mention she was in Bob Taft’s cabinet?

Yeah, that Bob Taft. The only Ohio Governor to be convicted of a crime while in office. For failing to disclose gifts from lobbyists.

And, yeah, that Bob Taft. The one with close ties to Tom Noe, the guy who used monies from the Bureau of Worker’s Comp as his personal bank account and laundered campaign contributions, directing them to the re-election campaign of G.W. Bush. Noe was close to Voinovich and Taft, both of whom appointed him to various powerful commissions. Noe and his wife Bernadette were both former Chairs of the Lucas County Republican Party.

And those gifts from lobbyists Taft failed to disclose? Some were from Tom Noe. Drabik is a lifelong Republican from Lucas County. She votes religiously, and pulls a Republican ballot each and every primary. She was highly placed, including at the cabinet level, during the time Noe was running amok in state government. Sandy, you got some explaining to do.

No safe harbor

Yet she tries to draw comparisons to Mike Collins. The late mayor was a worker bee, whose public service started at the lowest levels, as an enlisted man and later as a police patrolman. Collins’ only brushes with power included heated negotiations as a union boss. Collins was a true political independent who never pulled a partisan ballot.

Now Drabik, the uber-partisan political operative, has the temerity to claim she would run as an independent, just like Mike. Talk about the ultimate in cynical political machination. Her politics, so at home in Taft-Noe Columbus, are out of touch in Toledo.

Voila! She’s an independent!

Drabik says she is a fiscal conservative with a social conscience. Tell that latter part to the folks at UT, who fought for domestic partner benefits during the mid-Aughts.

Then-General Counsel for UT fought hard to keep folks, those in committed relationships but without valid marriage licenses, from getting a dime in bennies from the U. And of course, the name of that lawyer was none other than the aforementioned Ms. Drabik. Got a little guilt on the ol’ social conscience now, Sandy?

As if that phony makeover for political gain wasn’t enough, Drabik is now reportedly considering legally changing her name to “Collins.” She didn’t change it during Mike Collins’ life. Now that he’s gone she wants his name? How politically cynical and calculating can you get?

Sandy’s decided it’s not too soon after burying her late husband to start the spin machine. It’s our job to drop some knowledge before the machine gets too big a head of steam.

And before Drabik gets too big a head.

Toledo filmmakers reel us in by Kayla Williams

Behind the scenes of Toledo, there is an formidable film community hard at work. There are many players, and while all of them can’t be named in just one take, here are a few who are currently stepping into the spotlight.

Kim Sanchez Originally from Columbus, Sanchez founded the film group Reel Ohio in May 2014 after graduating with a film degree from UT. The group is a way for local filmmakers to collaborate, network and share resources and equipment, and it serves artists, nonprofits, and local businesses.

The Toledo Museum of Art is one of Reel Ohio’s clients. The group also helps produce Kitchen Talk, a monthly web-based talk show.

Films: Insight, The Real Housekids of Sylvania, JFK Bulletproof, Down Along the Road: The Life and Times of Fulton Williams (In Production) Inspirations: American Beauty, Once, Cinema Paradiso Day Job: 3rd Shift Retail Stocking

Films: Margot Come Home, Kid Noir, Special Delivery, College & You, Anticipation Inspiration: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Day Job: Community Engagement Specialist (Americorps), The Arts Commission of Greater Toledo

Michael E. Cullen II

The logo for Cullen Park Productions shows a drawing of Michael E. Cullen as a small child, holding his grandfather’s hand.

“When I was a little kid, I saw E.T. with my grandfather. That is the first movie I remember seeing in a theater,” Cullen said.

Cullen studied film at The University of Toledo, and started Cullen Park Productions in 2011. Cullen Park in Point Place is named after his great grandfather, a former vice mayor of Toledo—his production company’s namesake.

“Toledo has a lot of nonprofits. We’re thinking of how we can make ourselves better. Being in that culture motivates me . . . filmmakers are driven by their surroundings,” Sanchez said.

Cullen’s current film project is Down Along the Road: The Life and Times of Fulton Williams, a music-based fake documentary that features local musician Ryan Roth. Roth’s father passed away in the ‘90s, and the film is in his honor. Unlike other fake music documentaries, it’s a drama, not a comedy.

Sanchez placed several shorts in competitions. One of her films, Margot Come Home, about a girl who misses her father’s funeral, made it into the Seattle Film Festival. It was particularly meaningful because of the loss of her own father around that time. “I went to his funeral. But at the time, the act of missing a funeral was similar to the emotions I was feeling then—kind of numb and disconnected from my family—so that’s what that short was about.

“I think about film all the time,” Sanchez said. “The happiest I feel is when I am on a shoot.”

Chad Zuver Alongside Allan Mayette, Zuver co-owns Shattered Images Films. Zuver’s interest in filmmaking dates back to 1996, when Scream was released.

He was a horror fan before he saw it, but it was the film that solidified horror for him as an important genre.

“There’s a lot going on in Toledo that gets ignored. I just want to help make Toledo known for filmmaking,” Cullen said. “We have a lot of good filmmakers here.”

Films: New Blood Rising, A Night of the Living Dead, The Final Act, and New Blood Awakening (In Production).

Inspirations: Scream, classic ‘80s horror Day Job: Assembler, Parker Hannifin “I think doing a remake is challenging for a director . . . you have to get the main points, but you also have to provide a new take on the story,” Zuver said.

“[Scream] really addressed the society we live in,” he said.

He’s currently working on New Blood Awakening, the sequel to his first film. It has a higher production value than anything Zuver has done in the past, and has an anticipated 2016 release date.

Zuver describes himself as “100-percent selftaught.” One of his first major horror features was New Blood Rising. Shattered Images Films came together shortly after that, and the first official production from the company was a remake of Night of the Living Dead, made with local talent.

Zuver believes that filming ambitious projects locally will open up a new window for Toledo, and he’s impressed by the people he has worked with on films. “The actors I’ve found here have amazing talent,” he said. “The film community here is a nice resource to have.”

Films: Patient, Toledo Symphony Orchestra in HD (Promotional Film), Silencio (In Production) Inspirations: The Godfather, Amadeus, Samsara Day Job: Client Setup Representative, APS Medical Billing “When my family first moved here, it was the late ‘90s, and we didn’t have a lot of money. We barely had any furniture, but we had a TV. A family friend of ours recorded movies for us, because we didn’t have cable. Family movie nights were a cornerstone of my childhood. That was probably the biggest influence film had on me, in my [early] life.”

This influence returned later. After graduating from the University of Toledo with a degree in political science, Areas moved to Detroit, MI. The reason?

“A girl,” Areas replied.

Things with the girl didn’t work out, and seeking refuge in his early love of film, Areas created Patient. “The film was my way of letting go of her,” he said.

The impetus for the film was a music video Areas saw, shot on a handheld camera. “After I watched the video and saw that they used equipment and software that wasn’t expensive, I said, ‘Why am I going to buy a $3000 camera? With technology today, you can make things happen.”

Films: Fallen, The Shut Down, Fire Power (In Production) Inspirations: Storytelling music videos; action films like The Fast and the Furious Day Job: Active U.S. Military

Larry D. Williams II

Owner and operator of Project A Studios, Williams founded the project in 2012 after returning from military service. But even before the studio came to be, Williams was already involved in film work.

“In 2008, I started doing music videos for a friend, who is a rapper,” Williams said. “I remember seeing a lot of Busta Rhymes and Jay-Z videos that captured my interest . . . I love music videos that are story-based.”

Williams got into film after realizing that due to his service, the military would pay for his tuition, providing him the opportunity to choose something he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He went on

Emilio Areas to study film at the University of Toledo.

“One thing that is great about filmmaking is you’re not doing the same thing every day,” he said.

“I wrote the ending on a positive note.

At the moment that I wrote it, I wasn’t [in a positive place]. That’s what I wanted. I felt so much better once it was done and out there for people to see.

“I want to create imagery that will make you think,” Areas said.

Williams is currently at work on his film Fire Power. It follows two detectives on an arms case, and is part of a series. The second part is currently being written by another Toledo filmmaker, Lapala Crawford, who also plays the main character.

“I wanted to start a studio here because Hollywood comes to Ohio to shoot. Why is this something that we can’t do ourselves?” Williams said. “We have everything here.”

Patient was shot and edited on an iPhone 6. It has no dialogue, and uses evocative imagery to tell the story. The movie premiered at The Oliver House last December.

Films: Shaft the Akron Chronicles, Shaft 2: Arnett’s Revenge, Shaft 3: The Last Blast, Street Red, Light Eyes, Hindsight (Light Eyes Prequel) Inspirations: Shaft, Heat, El Mariachi, Minority Report, Carlito’s Way Day Job: Director/Camera Operator/Audio & Replay at Buckeye Cable Sports Network

Steve J.P. Rodojev Rodojev’s first feature-length film was made while he was a second-year media production student at The University of Akron. He was a fan of the ‘80s show Miami Vice, and planned to write a script inspired by the series, but changed his mind after seeing the 1971 film Shaft. “I loved how the soundtrack of that time period worked with the storytelling of the film, so I decided to make a Shaft spin-off with a different storyline . . . what it’d be like if Shaft moved from New York to Akron, Ohio,” he explained.

Rodojev’s Shaft: The Akron Chronicles became the first part of a trilogy.

Recently, Rodojev premiered Hindsight (a prequel to his other Toledo feature Light Eyes) at the Maumee Indoor Theatre.

Rodojev Films is the moniker Steve uses for all of his projects, and Stephen Domanowski, Jeremy Parlette, David Born, and Gabe and Al Rios are also part of the company. The filmmakers live together in a house they have converted into what Rodojev describes as a “small production headquarters.”

“I intend to keep my films local. Toledo is enriched with so many great locations and interesting people . . . this city never ceases to amaze me,” Rodojev said.

Kengo Sushi & Yakitori boasts an intimate atmosphere.

toledostripletreat.com Gift Cards Available

A new gem in town

Anticipated sushi spot worth the wait

by Alex Nader and Kelly Thompson Downtown Toledo finally has the puzzle piece found in every great metro area: An excellent sushi experience.

Kengo Sushi & Yakitori is now open at 38 St. Clair St., next to Downtown Latte.

The menu changes every day; co-owner Josh Wagy (Smashing Toledo) said one of the goals for the restaurant is to sell out as much of the menu each night as possible. Wagy’s partner, Chef Kengo Kato, was formerly a sushi artist at both Koreana and Sakura.

Kato was trained in New York City— his father was also a sushi chef—and has worked all over the U.S. Wagy met Kengo while he was at Koreana, and their friendship was born from a mutual love for sushi and their creative, innovative appetites. The passion for good eating comes through in this new venture; the changing fresh seafood menu reflects classic sushi, yakitori flavors and recipes, while allowing the chef to experiment.

Uniquely fresh

The 20-seat space is casual, and quality is evident in both its food and ambience. An intimate interior with beautifully stained wooden tables, minimalist, modern decor and cheery staff make for an appealing and welcoming atmosphere.

The menu at Kengo is a la carte—order what you like, it’s all good. On Wagy’s recommendation, we started with the yakitori, enjoying several variations on the classic Japanese dish of skewered meats.

Chicken thigh, pork belly, and chicken meatballs were cooked on Kengo’s cus-

www.toledocitypaper.com

tom-built yakitori grill, and were delectable, crispy, and flavorful.

Sushi is fresh and hand-selected by the chef. The menu offers a variety of fish and other traditional Japanese delicacies, including eel and urchin. Sushi can be ordered as either sashimi or nigiri to preference, and you can choose between spicy tuna or salmon maki.

Artfully good

The sushi arrived, carefully presented on wooden planks. The tuna and madai were excellent; both fresh and generously portioned. The sushi came with the chef ’s homemade soy sauce blend, real wasabi—Wagy explained, “none of that fake stuff ”—, and spicy-sweet pickled ginger.

Hand-selected draft beer, wine, and sake (on tap) are available to enhance the flavors.

Wagy described the adventure of Omakase ($68) as “letting the chef take you for a ride.” It’s a limited-availability option that gives patrons the opportunity to let the chef ’s skills and imagination run wild, when Chef Kengo presents traditional Japanese techniques and flavors for a unique experience.

Kengo Sushi & Yakitori is a welcome addition to Toledo cuisine. Whether you’re looking for a place to dine before a weekend show, or you’re in need of a post-work escape for the evening, you won’t be disappointed.

Wonderland in the Glass City The Toledo Ballet brings Alice onstage

by Rima Butto

Children and parents alike are familiar with the story of Alice in Wonderland, as it’s been remade again and again in various forms in the past century. To reinterpret the classic tale once more, a new perspective is essential.

Enter the creative mind of Michael Lang, artistic director and choreographer of the Toledo Ballet. This spring, the tenyear Broadway veteran will add Alice in Wonderland to his lengthy list of original productions. Lang is using his eclectic experience to his advantage, incorporating jazz, musical theater, ballet, and contemporary dance styles in this modern production about the loss of childhood innocence and the trials of growing up.

Carroll’s chaos

Though he claims it’s the most challenging show he’s done, Lang thinks Alice writer Lewis Carroll is a good fit for his aesthetic. The show will use shadow play and clever costume and set design to recreate the elements of Wonderland, such as the Rabbit Hole and Mad Tea Party.

Representing the layers of symbolism and imagery of the story may be difficult, but Lang relishes not being limited by reality. “It doesn’t have to make sense, and it’s actually better if it doesn’t. It gives you a lot of freedom,� he remarked.

For a piece that’s been done so many ways, Lang said the most unique thing to do is stick to the book, a practice that deviates from its movie adaptations. “I want people to feel like they’ve literally opened up the book and just watched the chapters dance from page to page,� he said. Going chapter by chapter, the scenes are set to music from the Romantic era, when the story was written.

www.toledocitypaper.com

St. Patrick’s Day only Though he remains true to the storyline, Lang admits to playing around with some scenes a bit to show off his dancers, many of whom are auditioning for professional companies. Two ballerinas, Semira Warrick and McKenzie Beaverson, are both students of the Ballet and will alternate playing the roles of Alice and the White Rabbit. Other characters will be played by talented volunteers who share a passion for the art of dance.

A fine line

Keeping the young audience in mind, Lang collaborates with some of his advanced performers in a weekly Dance Lab to get their input on the productions he so carefully creates. He’s aware that there’s a fine line between keeping a show artistic and getting cheesy, and while Alice lends itself to what he calls “musical theatre comedy,� using pratfalls and Three Stooges-type humor sparingly. His main priority is storytelling, and he often choreographs scenes before adding music to focus on the narrative, rather than the soundtrack.

Lang’s Alice in Wonderland appeals to all; kids love its playfulness, while adults can let their inner-child reignite. For those who aren’t familiar with the original novel, he hopes that seeing the ballet will provide an appreciation for the book. “I think seeing it come to life in front of your eyes will be a different experience,� Lang said. “It’s another way for people to connect with stuff, and I like that idea.�

Prepare for a little bit of whimsy and a lot of imagination.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what would those words be? In the past year, PRIZM Creative Community has invited local artists and writers to answer that question in the original Beyond Words exhibit.

What’s love got to do with it?

Nine years ago, a group of Bowling Green State University students asked artist and School of Art professor Lou Krueger to join them for beer and to speak on love and marriage. After what Kreuger now calls “a pretty crazy evening,” he wrote the Marriage Manifesto.

Since then, the Manifesto has been treated like most artistic manifestos—it has consistently been snipped apart, met with additions and read aloud as a drunken gesture. Krueger will join his exhibition, “Love (and other Lamentations of Flesh)” at River House Arts, to perform the Manifesto. Reserve your seat in advance online.

Get jazzed

The right album

Thursday, 3.12 / Toledo Museum of Art If the glass city had a soundtrack, it would include a trombone. Toledo’s history with jazz and glass is surprisingly similar - both of the creative, flexible art forms have a rich history in our town. The plasticity of the two will be intentionally intertwined anew, starting Thursday, March 12 with Jazz Under Glass, a partnership between The Toledo Museum of Art and the Art Tatum Jazz Heritage Society. Celebrate the history and enjoy the art every second Thursday of the month through May 2015. $20/adults, $15/ATJHS members, $5/ students. 6:30-8:30pm. Thursday, March 12. The Toledo Museum of Art GlasSalon, 2445 Monroe St. 419-255-8000. toledomuseum.org arttatumsociety.com

Nick Alt’s Vnyl gives the people what they want

by Blake Gillespie

Echoes of the masters Thursday, 3.12 / Huntington Center As the most renowned Pink Floyd tribute band in the world, Brit Floyd recreates masterpieces from the British experimental band’s entire catalogue. From 1967’s Piper at the Gates of Dawn to last year’s The Endless River, the tribute ensemble will bring old and new fans of Pink Floyd a memorable stage show. From $45. 8pm, Thursday, March 12.

Huntington Center, 500 Jefferson Ave. 419-255-3300, huntingtoncentertoledo.com, ticketmaster.com.

Still ramblin’ Saturday, 3.14 / Huntington Center

The Allman Brothers Band was a classic rock band, and gave us “Statesboro Blues,” “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed,” and “Midnight Rider.” This month, the band’s co-founder, keyboardist and vocalist Gregg Allman will take the Huntington Center stage to perform favorites from his 46-year career. $35.50-$52.50. 8pm, Saturday, March 14.

Vnyl gives its music-loving members the power of choice.

When was the last time a Toledo native made national headlines, or graced the pages of Rolling Stone? Recently, a California entrepreneur made news with his “Netflix of vinyl” subscription service. In the process, he name-dropped Toledo’s long-shuttered Camelot Music, declaring it was instrumental in inspiring his life-long interest in retail record sales.

It’s called Vnyl, and that’s not a typo.

For those that recall BMG Music Club, a CD subscription club popular in the 1990s, Vnyl is similar, but strictly for vinyl collectors. The service is like Birchbox; curated packages are sent to your doorstep on a monthly basis. Members are only charged extra if they keep the records instead of returning them in prepaid shipping boxes. With vinyl sales up 51.8 percent since 2013, Vnyl assesses the trend while thinking differently about how we categorize our record collection.

A better experience

“People are wanting a way of listening to music that doesn’t feel like mass production,” founder Nick Alt said. “This seemed like the most timely thing to do as a test. I didn’t set it up as a business . . . I’d have been satisfied if 100 people said ‘yes, please send me some vinyl.’”

For Alt, the origin for Vnyl’s concept is Camelot Music in the Southwyck Mall, where he worked as a retail clerk in the ‘90s before graduating from St. John’s Jesuit High School. He moved to California for college and never returned. Alt formerly worked for Vimeo, a video-sharing website. He said he’s had the idea for a subscription service for awhile, but the idea to make it vinyl-based came late in the staging.

20

March 11 • March 24

He thinks that iTunes and streaming services are lacking and make for an incomplete music experience, characterizing their oft-vague genre categories as “a business person with very little creativity in their bones, who came up with a format that everybody just accepted.”

It was because of these philosophical hangups with the music business that Alt arrived at his platform for Vnyl. Genres on Vnyl are called #Vibes, and titled in SEO-trackable style like #rainyday, #danceparty and #betweenthesheets.

Taking requests

Alt employs a small staff at Vnyl, charged with the task of satisfying 777 subscribers with 10,000 requests for invites to the service. When we talked, Alt admitted his warehouse did not have that many pre-paid shipping boxes.

“While I would love to have all these people [as] subscribers, I also want to make sure we nail it for the people who got in early,” he said. “I want them to be super excited about what they get in the mail, and be like ‘wow, this is a whole different thing.’”

Vnyl is still fielding invites. As for concerns of whether the vinyl sales surge is merely a trend, Alt is not naive to the possibility.

“Is this a five-year business? A tenyear business? I have no idea. I just want the product to be awesome,” Alt said.

“Hopefully, at the end of the day we’ve created something that didn’t exist before in the marketplace, needs to exist, and creates new listeners for people to experience music in a way that they want to.”

— BY SUE LOVETT

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Ignore Friday the

13th and party on the 14th. Two things to celebrate the 17th – an increase in income and St. Patrick’s Day. Fasten your seat belt the 20th for your birthday season, the new moon, eclipse, and spring equinox.

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) You run around on Friday the 13th (carefully). Enjoy a special luncheon and dinner on St. Patrick’s Day. Shift your attention to partnerships (business and personal) on the 20th. You may need to make amends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Lots of work

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) No

which you can handle with no problems on Friday the 13th. The new moon and solar eclipse on the 20th help you change professional goals. Research all angles the 21st, 22nd and 23rd. Success is in your stars!

problems the 12th but exercise caution on Friday the 13th. Pay attention to your budget.

You enjoy wearing the green the 17th. The new moon and eclipse the 20th make you more creative. All is well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You show your

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20)

bravery on Friday the 13th. Your partner asks you to slow down on the 14th. Wake up early with a hearty appetite the 17th. The new moon energizes you on the 20th as you make holiday plans.

You are able to avoid problems on Friday the 13th. There is a St. Patrick’s Day party the 14th. Save your hat to wear to work and to another party the 17th. You need your rest until the 21st.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22) Travel plans begin to shape up on the 12th. You are so busy you forget about Friday the 13th. There are St. Patrick’s Day parties the 14th and 17th.

The new moon, solar eclipse, and spring equinox the 20th highlight career issues.

(December 21-January 19) You are aware of Friday the 13th and take no chances. You lose steam on the 14th and stay in over the weekend. Shop the 17th and party that night. So much happens on the 20th that you are totally confused.

LEO (July 23-August 22) You defy superstition Friday the 13th. Go to an early St. Patrick’s Day party the 14th. Wear the green to work on the 17th and out again that night. Rest up until the 20th when emphasis switches to vacation plans.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) Do you

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) You get

PISCES (February 19-March 20) You may not leave the house on Friday the 13th. That weekend is quiet but you make up for it on the 17th. Wear your green to work, to lunch, and to a party that night. Make resolutions on the 20th and you will keep them.

help from a partner (personal or business) starting the 12th. You are entertained on the 14th and again on the 17th. You are not your usual efficient well-organized self on the 20th and 21st. Sorry about that!

CAPRICORN

worry about Friday the 13th? Probably not because you are thinking ahead to St. Patrick’s Day. The new moon and spring equinox the 20th shine on MORE MONEY! How exciting is that! You can use it.

Sue Lovett is available for personal astrology readings and private parties.

Visit her on the Web at www.suelovett.com or call her at 419-474-6399.

CELEBRITY Pisces

CELEBRITY PISCES – They excel in any positions where they can be helpful to others, such as the legal profession. Two Pisces Supreme Court Justices are Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Locally Mary Taylor, Lt. Gov. of Ohio and former Mayor Mike Bell celebrate.

Be careful on Friday the 13th so you are healthy enough to party on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s okay to pretend to be Irish that day because we pretend to be good on Christmas! There is an eclipse of the sun, a new moon and Spring Equinox for all to enjoy on the 20th.

STYLE SENSE

From the people who brought you Gamesavvy Latenight (Toledo's #1 locally produced TV show)

Interview by Jordan Killam

Jennifer Risner, Computer Analyst

Jennifer is a living outlaw when it comes to her profession’s stereotype of bad fashion. Her work clothes are tough, colorful, and yes, slightly nerdy. She’s not afraid to pair girly separates with a studded heel...or even a shoe that looks like a cheeseburger.

There’s a stereotype that IT folks generally lack fashion sense. True or false?

True. As you can imagine, It’s quite maledominated and everyone has the ability to hide their polo shirts and khakis behind a monitor.

There are low expectations, so I can basically wear whatever I want. There’s also a culture of accepting and even celebrating eccentricity. It’s very liberating.

What is your favorite recent clothing/ accessory purchase?

I recently received the most beautiful shoes from my fiance for Valentine’s Day—six-inch heels that look like a

Website: www.lovemy419.com | FB: lovemy419 | TW: @lovemy419 IG: @lovemy419 | Email: ilovemy419@gmail.com

cheeseburger, with eyeballs and fangs. They’re a combination of a few of my favorite things: kitsch, horror and over-the-top drag fashion.

Are you struggling with a family member or loved one that suffers from Mental Illness?

What do you love most about fashion?

NAMI has a program and FREE resources to help you.

It is a reflection of you and the things you love. You can be a walking piece of art. You can be a cartoon.

Do you have a style icon?

If it had to be just one, it would be David Bowie.

3rd Thursday is an event to find resources on mental illness and substance abuse.

The meeting takes place the 3rd Thursday of EVERY month.
