Once a decade, America comes together to count every resident in the United States, creating national awareness of the importance of the census and its valuable statistics. The decennial census was first taken in 1790, as mandated by the Constitution. It counts our population and households, providing the basis for reapportioning congressional seats, redistricting, and distributing more than $675 billion in federal funds annually to support states, counties and communities’ vital programs — impacting housing, education, transportation, employment, health care, and public policy.

Progeria is a rare, fatal, “rapid aging” disease. Without the discovery of new treatments, all children with Progeria will die of heart disease at an average age of 14 years. The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF) was founded in 1999 in response to the complete lack of progress being made to help children with Progeria.
Our original mission: to discover the cause, treatments and cure for Progeria.* Today, PRF continues to be the only organization in the world solely dedicated to this mission. We have filled a void, taking these children out of the background where they had been for over 100 years and putting them and Progeria at the forefront of scientific efforts. For more information check our The Progeria Research Foundation Website.

Kyle and Ramona Baker named the sauce (Gertie’s) after Kyle’s mother Vernice Gertrude Baker. Gertie was an outstanding cook that worked as a lead cook for many years. With her southern-style recipes, her cooking quickly became a favorite everywhere she worked! Gertie was very loving, and the best Mother anyone could wish for. Her love of people and her passion for cooking has been put into every jar of Gertie’s award winning BBQ sauce.
Gertie’s won the 2009/2010 Center for Innovative Food Technology (CIFT) award. Since then Kyle has appeared multiple times on television and has had numerous appearances in Toledo papers and publications for the development of this winning BBQ sauce.

Sylvania Township trustees have agreed to partner with a group of who have voiced their opposition to the apparent intent of the City of Sylvania to annex several homes in residential subdivisions currently in the township.
Residents have appeared at meetings of the trustees as well as city council recently complaining about what they have characterized as a “money grab” by the city.
They have said they are very satisfied with government services in the township and do not want to become liable for the 1.5 percent income tax imposed by the city.
The resolution by the township placed a cap of $20,000 on its efforts in conjunction with the citizens’ group.
It came after a discussion following a motion by trustee John Jennewine that an attorney be hired, with that amount as an upper limit, to explore actions which could be taken by the township in opposition to any annexation efforts by the city.
John Crandall, chairman of the trustees, said there wouldn’t be an issue if residents of an area actively sought to be annexed, but that the trustees strongly oppose the forced annexation which seems underway.
Some property owners said they signed agreements to be annexed some time ago, because it was required in order to get water service to their homes.
The issue erupted after the city sent letters to some 100 property owners directing them to sign an annexation petition by Nov. 30. City officials contend those properties have annexation agreements with the city. A number of people have challenged whether there is such an enforceable agreement.
The township sent a letter to about 400 residents who may be directly effected by the city’s apparent intentions saying they oppose the action and more recently issued a letter meant more generally to all township residents explaining, their opposition.
Both letters noted that the recently completed annexation of the Mayberry subdivision cost the township about $50,000 in revenue.
Trustee Neal Mahoney noted that the loss of the residential subdivisions, apparently targeted by the city, would deal a more significant loss to the township.
It could be, he said, that if the city’s annexation efforts are successful the township may be forced to request additional levy support in order to maintain the current level of service to residents.
“This issue effects all township residents,” he said.
Subdivisions identified as annexation targets are The Meadows, Parklands, County Walk, Sylvan Hills, Copperwood and Country Walk Circle.

Gary is a common sense conservative with a tendency to believe that tomorrow can always be better with hard work, vision, and collaboration. Someone recently observed, "You seem to always look on the bright side and have an optimistic view of the future."
Gary responded with two of his favorite quotes, "Obstacles are opportunities" and "problems are possibilities."
This vision of a better tomorrow is the reason Gary chose, "Hope for Ohio" as the theme for his campaign. For him this is more the idealism, it is the experience of his life.

World renowned rock guitarist Gary Hoey’s first break came in 1987 when Ozzy Osbourne liked Hoey’s tape enough to fly him to LA for an audition. Although Zakk Wylde wound up with the gig, Ozzy recommended Hoey move to LA where he was certain he would get noticed. So he did - thanks Ozzy - and it paid off. In 1992 Gary’s cover of “Hocus Pocus” rocketed into the Billboard’s Top 5 Rock Tracks.
Helping Children in Need Sleep Better
All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. In Idaho and across the US, too many boys and girls go without a bed—or even a pillow—to sleep on. These children end up sleeping on couches, blankets, and even floors. This can affect their happiness and health.
That’s where Sleep in Heavenly Peace comes in. We’re a group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling and delivering top-notch bunk beds to children and families in need. Our organization has grown steadily over time, and we’re working on opening more chapters in different states to serve more people.
How They Started
Sleep in Heavenly Peace had its start like many other charities, in a garage. It was Christmas time, a time of joy and happiness, a time of giving and love, but also a time of bitter, cold weather and snowstorms. A project, that was started with the build of one bed for a single family developed into something a whole lot more. With wood left over from the first bunk, another idea was created. “Who else could benefit from this bunk”?
A simple post on Facebook sparked an unexpected response. What was thought would be a litter of requests from needy families, turned into a litany of local people eager to help and volunteer. The generosity of these volunteers was so surprising that it was no longer a search for one who needed a bed, but a question of how many beds we could provide. From there, the idea grew into reality. We can make a difference.
We are now a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Our federal ID is 46-4346568.
Funded by an endowment from Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church and thanks to The Andersons, Inc. Plant Nutrient Division we'll be hosting this event in the drive thru lumberyard area of the former Maumee General Store.
Bedding Drive-thru (no need to get out of your car)
Bed building (drop of your spouse or kids while you shop for them) NOTE: material is being cut and sanded by Toledo Public Schools students from trades programs at Waite, Rogers and Start prior to the event so this will be a clean activity to participate in.
Santa will be on site for photos (and to inspect what our elves build)
Come out an join them to help kids in NW Ohio and SE Michigan get a bed of their own. We are in need of volunteers of all ages and abilities and always need new twin size bedding and pillows.

Inspired by Grace is a 501(c)(3) community outreach organization serving Toledo, NW Ohio and SE Michigan. Our primary goal is to reduce stigma and increase awareness of the issue of suicide and the many paths that can lead up to its contemplation, such as mental health and substance use disorders.
Our group is comprised of like-minded individuals from various backgrounds including people in recovery, mental health professionals, law enforcement and county officials, members of faith-based communities, suicide attempt and loss survivors, and family members dealing with the aftermath of addiction or death.
Our mission involves working with a wide variety of agencies, advocates, and groups to educate and empower our community and to help families and individuals find both the peer and professional support they need. Supporting and educating law enforcement and other first responders on the importance of exercising good mental health self-care and utilizing the confidential resources available to them, when needed, is also high on our agenda.
We believe that connection and relatability are some of the key elements of effective prevention education and support programs. Therefore, we place high importance on involving individuals willing to share their own life experiences, while providing a supportive atmosphere with positive and consistent encouragement, that is aimed at inspiring hope and empowering others.
Being able to recognize that someone is troubled or struggling, and then taking the time to reach out to that individual, can make a world of difference in whether they seek treatment and counseling. Understanding factors such as bullying, loss and grief, addiction, loneliness and depression, domestic violence, and abuse can provide insight into what brings people to such a dark place that they see suicide as the only answer.
If you or someone you know needs support or information, or you have an interest in joining us in our prevention efforts, please contact us by email or phone.

Susan Perry started Susie's Coats in 2006, on her 50th birthday. There was nothing that she wanted or needed, and made the decision that she'd like to collect 50 coats to distribute to those in need. Susan and her daughter held that initiative in downtown Toledo and realized there was more of a significant need.
Each year the project has gotten bigger and bigger; more people donating and more people in need. In 2012, Susie, her friends and family members collected more than 700 items such as new and gently used coats, gloves and hats.
Susie's Coats is asking for the community's support. There is a desperate need for men and women's sizes extra large and above and additional hats, coats, scarves and gloves.
Susie's Coats is taking donations of new or gently used winter items. Monetary donations are also accepted.
Coat Distribution 11-9-19 Doors up at 9am till all the coats are gone.

Fran Martone, Jacqueline Arvanitis, & Laura Crawford are in to talk about the Village Players new show The Revolutionists by Lauren Gunderson
Opening November 8
Directed by Fran Martone
Featuring: Emily Waters, Jacqueline Arvanitis, Laura Crawford and Aimee Reid.
Call 419-472-6817
Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It's a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and a scaffold.
The Village Players is a 100% volunteer-run organization, from the people who staff the ticket counter, run the lights and sound, and stage crew to the actors and directors. If you are interested in volunteering at The Village, please email our Volunteer Coordinator at VPlayers@gmail.com.
We accept submissions for shows all year round. These go to our Play-Reading Committee who sort through and read every single show. November 1 is the cut-off date for submissions. Normally, at our December or January board meeting, the Play-Reading Committee submits its selections for the next year, as well as the shows that were not selected. Then comes the hard part. The board reads and rehashes all the work that the committee did and comes to a final consensus on the following season.
If you have seen a show that you think we could pull off, heard of one you would like to see done, written one you would like performed, or you have an interest in directing at The Village Players, please do not hesitate to contact. We shall be happy to put it up for consideration.

Abigail Sadowy is letting us know why she is running for city council district 2
Abigail was born and raised in the Beverly Neighborhood in South Toledo. Her father was a teacher for Toledo Public Schools and her mother was a labor and delivery nurse at Toledo Hospital. Aby grew up admiring how hard her parents worked to raise her and her brother in Toledo and was raised to be involved with her community and church.
After attending Beverly Elementary and Byrnedale Junior High, Aby continued a great academic career at Bowsher High School where she graduated in 1991.
While attending Heidelburg College, Abigail began her career in law enforcement; first working as a security officer to pay for education and at age 21 was accepted onto the police force in Edon, Ohio as an auxiliary officer. As a side job, Aby was an inventory and loss manager for Toledo Best Buy, where she learned how to identify waste and loss in a large business atmosphere.
At age 25, after the birth of her first child, Abigail began another career that would take her all over Toledo and especially District 2 when she became a stay at home mom and a part time D.J. As a small business owner for over 20 years Aby led a very profitable side business while raising her family. During that time she was also a paraprofessional for TPS, the very district her father worked for when she was a child.
Tiffany is a resident of the Rossford community and has spent over a decade volunteering her time and financial experience to the school district as the past chair of the Finance Committee and a member of the Master Plan Finance subcommittee. She works for Ayers Wealth Management as an Insurance Advisor and Client Services Associate. Her focus is on the facilities and finance of the district, and she has chosen to be involved with Rossford Exempted Village Schools to help better the opportunities for ALL students and improve the learning environment. tdensic@rossfordschools.org
They strongly oppose the effort to rename Bowling Green State University's Gish Film Theater honoring two talented native Ohioans, Lillian and Dorothy Gish. Recently a similar petition was taken to the TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood. The Gish sisters made distinguished, unmatched contributions to the performing arts, including motion pictures, stage, radio, and television. The removal of the name of the Gish Film Theater would be a sad, ignorant, misinformed waste and an insult to these great women's legacy. There are campus activists at BGSU who want the Gish Theater name removed because of Lillian Gish's role in the controversial D.W.Griffith film, "The Birth of a Nation." Miss Gish was not a producer, writer, or director and therefore had no role in its content. She was a twenty-one year old actress fulfilling her contractual obligations.
Regarded as THE PREMIER SILENT FILM ACTRESS, Lillian's oeuvre encompasses roles that are anti-racist and pro-feminist including such classics as "Broken Blossoms" and "Way Down East," while Dorothy, who was one of the silent screen's most popular actresses and did not appear in The Birth of a Nation, had a significant part in the anti-Klan film, "The Cardinal." To remove these sisters' names from the theater would be a blow to artistic expression and would not further the cause of racial justice and women's contributions in film.To blacklist a performing artist simply for appearing in one film or play, as in the disrespectful phrase, "Ditch the Gish," is outrageous, narrow-minded and sexist. It is clearly an embarrassment to the establishment from which it came, and the decision-makers should be cognizant of that, as well as Lillian Gish's great legacy and trail-blazer as a successful woman in film who transitioned beautifully from the 'silents' to the 'talkies.' She was, and always will be, a fine example and credit to the film industry.
Instead of renouncing the well-deserved honor bestowed on these two great actresses with the establishment of the Gish Film Theater in 1976 there should be a 're-awakening' celebration of the Gish sisters' achievements instead, which could be accompanied by lectures on these women by well-known film historians and the showing of such anti-racist and pro-feminist movie classics as "The Cardinal,""Broken Blossoms" and "Way Down East." This could have such a beneficial ripple affect on the entire campus, even beyond the Film, Drama, and Women Studies Departments, which it would directly benefit. Retaining the name of the Gish Theater would also increase Bowling Green University's respect and admiration as an institution, world-wide.
I had the privilege of meeting Lillian Gish when I was a graduate student in painting at Bowling Green State University on October 14, 1979. It was her 80th birthday and she gave a warm, articulate lecture on "Way Down East" at the Gish Theater, a silent film in which she played the heroine. Afterwards I asked if I could take her picture for my sister, Jane Gaines, now a published film historian who teaches at Columbia University. She put her hand on my shoulder and said, "Let's have a picture taken of the two of us for your sister. I had a sister once, and I miss her very much!" These kind women's legacy in film needs to be REMEMBERED and HONORED at Bowling Green State University and in their state of Ohio and the rest of the world, NOT ERASED!

Truth At Work is one of America’s leading and fastest growing marketplace ministries.
Since 1998, we have developed products, programs, and services to serve thousands of Christian business and marketplace leaders:
Build and lead their companies and organizations on proven biblical principles and practices
-
Grow personally, professionally, and spiritually
-
Transform the marketplace for Christ
-
Fulfill God’s calling upon their lives at work and at home
Truth At Work is unique in its approach in several ways:
Our comprehensive 25 Year Relationship Strategy offers Christian marketplace leaders programs from their early 20’s thru their 50’s
-
A focus on transformation in the lives of those who participate in our various initiatives
-
All programs based on relevant contextual content
-
All programs delivered in the context of relevant peer community
One of the most important and untapped mission fields is the marketplace. Most people spend more than half their waking hours at work, commuting to and from work or with co-workers or other professionals. They typically spend more time at work or work-related functions than they do with their families, sleeping, or any other activity. Personal and spiritual needs end up taking a back seat to meetings, deadlines, and work agendas. Many find they cannot attend church regularly and have no spiritual foundation on which to base life’s decisions or face life issues at work or at home.
The cause of Truth At Work is to reach out to minister and provide support where people are spending the majority of their lives…at work!
Truth At Work invests significant resources in equipping Christian business owners and leaders in earning the right to share their faith in the context of marketplace relationships through modeling Christ-like Servant Leadership. Employees who work for organizations they consider to be spiritual are less fearful, less likely to compromise their values, and more able to invest themselves into their work.
While other ministries and organizations work to serve church-attending Christians in the workplace, few have developed strategic initiatives to provide on-going support of Christian change agents. This unique aspect of Truth At Work aggressively positions itself as an excellent alternative to leading secular training and consulting companies.

OPERATION SHUT-IN
November 11, 2019: Operation time: 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM
In honor of our Military Veterans' service, on Veterans' Day, participating restaurants throughout the United States, provide meals to Veterans at no cost. However, there are Veterans unable to participate in a no cost meal offered by local participation restaurants, due to a medical restriction that makes it difficult or impossible to leave their homes. Therefore, on Veterans' Day we conduct an operation labeled "Operation Shut-In." This operation is a mission, which includes picking up a meal from a participating restaurant and delivering it to the shut-in Veteran. Since this operation began three years ago, we have served 475 Veterans.
If you are a shut-in Veteran and would like a meal on Veterans Day, please contact us at (419) 536-7048 or the Lucas County Veterans Service Commission at (419) 213-6090. You may register for a meal by filling out the form at the link below and clicking on submit. You will then be registered to receive a meal on Veterans Day. "Thank You For Your Service"

Ann Lee Hussey has made the eradication of polio and the alleviation of suffering by polio survivors her life’s work. In the past 12 years she has actively participated in 25 volunteer NID (National Immunization Days) teams organizing and leading the last 18 teams herself, choosing to take those NIDs to places that do not often see westerners – Chad, Mali, Bangladesh, Niger, Nigeria as well as less “touristy” destinations in Egypt and India – where the need is greatest and where the publicity and goodwill surrounding the trip are as critical as the immunizations themselves to help communicate the need for eradication. She has shared her story and passion hundreds of times carrying the message of PolioPlus around the Rotary world and beyond, raising money and creating new converts to the fight. She is determined that no child will needlessly have to suffer what she herself, a polio survivor, has been through. But for all the immunizations Ann Lee has herself made possible through NIDs, she considers fundraising and public awareness her most critical accomplishments. Ann Lee’s work has earned her the International Service Award for a Polio-Free World and the Rotary Service Above Self Award. Outside Rotary, Ann Lee served as a trustee of York Hospital and currently serves on the board of Port Resources, an organization that supports developmentally challenged adults in Portland, Maine.
Ann Lee Hussey will be speaking at Toledo Rotary on Oct. 21st for World Polio Day. Rotarians from other clubs and Guest please use the link below to RSVP.

Becoming A Member
How to Join
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Rotarian. Rotary is an association of individual clubs, with each club operating autonomously. Membership is extremely important to us, and we are always eager to hear from individuals interested in our mission and in joining our Rotary club. The RI universal premise is that the membership of each club constitutes an accurate representation of the business and professional population within the community served.
Membership in the Rotary Club of Toledo requires an invitation and sponsorship by two members of the Club.

Day-to-day operating expenses are exceeding revenue due to the state cap on our funding.
The cap means that Washington Local Schools currently serves 7,000+ students but only receives funding for 5,000 students.
Keeping and attracting quality teachers and staff.
Investing in our schools protects property values and community’s quality of life.
If the quality of our schools declines, it impacts our entire community.
Without Issue 7, our schools will have to make cuts to staff and educational programs, and any significant facility construction will be put off possibly affecting the amount of money the state will contribute to building projects.
Passing Issue 7 keeps our schools and community Strong and Independent.
Issue 7 spreads the expense of restoring Washington Local Schools facilities over generations, ensuring a legacy for our children and grandchildren.
Issue 7 is a combined 3.0-mill bond levy and 3.9-mill operating levy for Washington Local Schools for a continuing period of time. The cost of this levy is about $18 a month for an average Washington Local homeowner.

Good Bears of the World (GBW) was founded in 1969 by the late radio pioneer, James Theodore Ownby, Colonel Robert Henderson from England, and English actor, Peter Bull, in Bern, Switzerland.
GBW Headquarters were located in Mr. Ownby’s radio station KNDI, in Honolulu until the organization subsequently relocated their headquarters to Toledo, Ohio in 1991 after Mr. Ownby passed away in 1986.
It was Mr. Ownby's dream to spread love and caring to children and the elderly who were in need of comfort with teddy bears. His dream has been carried on over four decades by members worldwide.
GBW was the first group to donate teddy bears to police departments in the early 80’s. This program has gained tremendous popularity in the last few decades.
Since their founding, GBW has given hundreds of thousands of teddy bears to those in need of love and a hug.
The Oklahoma City bombing, the crash of TWA flight 800, events of September 11, 2001, Hurricane Katrina, Kansas tornados and floods and the Fukashima Nuclear Disaster are some of the tragedies where we have gifted our Good Bears.
Firemen, policemen, emergency workers, psychologists, and grief counselors have discovered the teddy bear's magical healing power is invaluable when given to children and their families in traumatic situations.

Although not considered a major risk hazard in Ohio, earthquakes have and do occur in the Buckeye State. According to the Ohio Seismic Network and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Geological Survey, Ohio experienced three small-magnitude earthquakes in March of this year; four small earthquakes in 2012; and a total of 17 earthquakes in 2011, including the 5.8 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Virginia on Aug. 23.
Ohio is on the periphery of the New Madrid Seismic Zone, an area in Missouri and adjacent states that was the site of the largest earthquake sequence to occur in U.S. history. Four great quakes were part of a series at New Madrid in 1811 and 1812. These events were felt throughout the eastern part of the country and were strong enough to topple chimneys in Cincinnati. In March of 1937, western Ohio experienced a 5.4-magnitude quake that knocked down or damaged every chimney in Anna (Shelby County). So much damage was caused to the local school that it had to be torn down.
In January 1986, a 5.0-magnitude earthquake took place in Lake County, impacting most of northeastern Ohio. This was the first Ohio quake that caused injuries and to occur near a U.S. nuclear power plant. The 1986 quake ranks the third largest in the state.
Other significant earthquakes that impacted Ohio:
1980 - Kentucky had a 5.3 magnitude quake that was felt throughout Ohio and caused moderate damage in communities near the Ohio River in southwestern Ohio.
1998 - A 5.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in western Pennsylvania, just east of Ohio, and caused some damage in the epicentral area.
The causes of Ohio’s earthquakes, as with those throughout the eastern U.S. are poorly understood at this time. Those in Ohio appear to be associated with ancient zones of weakness in the Earth’s crust that formed during continental rifting and collision events about a billion years ago. These zones are characterized by deeply buried and poorly known faults, some of which serve as the sites for periodic release of strain that is constantly building up in the North American continental plate due to continuous movement of the tectonic plates that make up the Earth’s crust.
Seismic risk in Ohio is difficult to evaluate because earthquakes are generally infrequent in comparison to plate-margin areas like California. Nevertheless, earthquake preparedness is important. Taking simple precautions before an earthquake or any disaster occurs can help prevent injury or loss of life or damage to property.
Make an emergency supply kit for your home and vehicles, and make a family communications plan to know who to contact during an emergency.
Prepare the home by fastening shelves securely to walls; place large or heavy objects on lower shelves; brace overhead light fixtures and top-heavy objects; repair defective electrical wiring and leaky gas connections. These are potential fire risks.
Locate safe spots in each room of your home, workplace and/or school. A safe spot could be under a sturdy table, desk, or against an interior wall away from windows, bookcases or tall furniture that could fall.
Practice “Drop, Cover and Hold On” in each safe place. If you don’t have sturdy furniture to hold on to, sit or crouch on the floor next to an interior wall and cover your head and neck with your arms. Drop, Cover and Hold On is the appropriate action to reduce injury or death during earthquakes.

DO YOU HEAR THE STUDENTS SING?
The French Revolution will come to life in vivid detail and song as Toledo School for the Arts presents the much-loved musical Les Misérables: School Edition for four performances from Thursday, October 17 through Sunday, October 20 at Owens Community College.
Based on the Victor Hugo novel of the same name, Les Misérables follows the story of recently released convict, Jean Valjean, as he discovers that his freedom is tainted by mistrust and abuse. He breaks his parole and is pursued by the persistent Inspector Javert who refuses to believe that a convict could change for the good. Jean Valjean assumes a false identity to raise his adopted daughter, Cosette, but the Paris Student Uprising (1832) forces both he and Javert into direct confrontation. Each must acknowledge the truth of their pasts and learn to accept the change that time brings…or not.
The production is directed by TSA faculty, led by Amelia Lefevre. The cast members are all students from Toledo School for the Arts featuring Trevor Gill-Snow (Whitehouse) as Jean Valjean, Reuben Hagedorn (Oregon) as Javert, Olivia Gierke (Oregon) as Fantine, Max Gierke (Oregon) as Marius, and Casey Merren (Oregon) as Eponine.
TSA productions are noteworthy for the quality of student performances, where students craft their skills daily. “The level of performance is surprisingly good”, explains Artistic Director David Saygers. “Sometimes it’s hard to remember these are high school students, juggling homework and shows. Many of the performers are veteran actors, and bring a great deal of confidence and poise to their roles.”
Performances begin at 7:00pm on Thursday, October 17, Friday, October 18, and Saturday, October 19 as well as at 2:30 on Sunday, October 20 at the Owens Community College Center for Fine and Performing Arts (30335 Oregon Road, Perrysburg, OH 43551). Tickets are $22, $16, or $10. To order your tickets contact the TSA Box Office at 419-246-8732 x226, or visit ts4arts.org.

In nineteenth century France, Jean Valjean is released from years of unjust imprisonment, but discovers his freedom is marred by mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a lifelong struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways. Finally, during the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean’s adopted daughter.

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride unites classic and vintage style motorcycle riders all over the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health.
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of TV Show Mad Men’s, Don Draper astride a classic bike and wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way of connecting niche motorcycle enthusiasts and communities while raising funds to support the men in our lives.
In December 2018, the Board of Lucas County Commissioners was approached by key
stakeholders in the County’s 911 system to study the feasibility of the merging and consolidation
of 911 services in Lucas County with the goal of creating a safer and more effective and efficient
countywide system. The Commissioners were perceived to be the appropriate governmental
agency to conduct this analysis due to the following:
- The County Commissioners are identified as the “Owners” of the 911 system by the 911
Implementation Plan for Lucas County; - The County Commissioners administer countywide 911 funds;
- The County Commissioners maintain the infrastructure of the 911 system; and
- The County Commissioners do not operate a public safety answering point (PSAP),
providing some level of objectivity.
Consolidation of 911 services has become common across the United States due to the blurring of
jurisdictional lines caused by expanded 911 calls for service from cellular phones and internet
connected devices; greater demands and training requirements for call takers and public safety
dispatchers; and the increasing complexity and costs of the technology required to operate PSAPs.
Additionally, in recent years the State of Ohio has pushed for consolidation through the enactment
of legislation that limits the number of PSAPs permitted to operate in a county
and the commissioning of a report studying and providing guidance for jurisdictions on consolidation
.
911 consolidation has been discussed in Lucas County for years. Lucas County is well positioned
for consolidation due to shared Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and call handling systems across
the County’s PSAPs and a robust countywide interoperable communications system utilized by all
public safety agencies.
In conducting this analysis, the Commissioners’ Office has sought to facilitate a collaborative and
transparent process to collect information about the current state of the County’s 911 system,
research industry best practices, garner input from all stakeholders and propose solutions. The
process has been iterative as information gathered is documented, challenged, and updated in
frequently circulated draft reports. This document represents the latest draft and seeks to record
the findings of this process.

Lori with Don’t Skirt the Issue event to benefit the Zepf Center
Benefitting Zepf Center' Safety Net
On a given night, nearly 41,000 unaccompanied youth were identified as experiencing unsheltered or sheltered homelessness in America. On the street, youth can become victims of violence, develop serious mental health and addiction problems, and be forced to trade sex for basic needs. In 2016, Zepf Center opened Safety Net, which is the only emergency shelter for homeless runaway youth in the Northwest Ohio area. Safety Net provides outreach, crisis intervention, emergency shelter, counseling, family reunification and aftercare services to runaway and homeless youth and their families.
For the last three years a coalition of local businesses, media and government agencies have held an event, Don’t Skirt the Issue – Help, raising almost $80,000 towards developing housing specifically for women impacted by the opiate crisis. While there is still much work to be done related to the opiate epidemic, our committee has reached its goal of opening a home for women in recovery. The goal for this year’s event is to raise funds for Zepf Center’s runaway shelter, Safety Net.
We are pleased to announce this year’s event will be held on Friday, October 18th, from 6-11 PM at The Pinnacle, 1772 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee, OH. “Don’t Skirt the Issue – Help” will be an evening of music, friends and fun! The event will feature fabulous dining from NW Ohio restaurants, a live auction, raffles and loads of entertainment.

In the early 1950s, a group of well-off men and women from the Village of Ottawa Hills formed a theater group for entertainment. Their first shows were presented with a tent as their theater and were held in Ottawa Park. As the group continued to prosper and grow, they began to look for a new, permanent home. A small church building on Upton Avenue between Monroe Street and Central Avenue was acquired in the mid-1960s, and renovations began to turn the chapel into a true theater space. Incorporated in 1956, The Village Players Theater has evolved over the years into a friendly, open, community theater presenting a wide variety of productions.
Over the years, new seats, state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, and numerous “work days” have turned the humble chapel into one of Toledo’s most-beloved performance spaces.
Walter Cronkite is Dead by Joe Calarco (comedy)September 6 – 14, 2019
A fierce thunderstorm has shut down airports up and down the East Coast. Two women, who appear to have nothing in common, are stuck in a waiting area at Reagan National Airport. Patty is a chatty southerner—a blue-collar woman from a red state—who is almost physically unable to tolerate silence. Margaret is a Washingtonian, reserved, educated, liberal and not interested in sharing her thoughts, or her table, with Patty. Forced together for a long night in a public place, the two strangers have no choice but to share a bottle of wine and begin to talk…and to listen. Their conversation is funny, difficult, deeply revealing and astonishingly frank. Patty and Margaret share details of their lives that lead them to a place of kinship neither of them could have imagined. Yes, Walter Cronkite is dead, but his wisdom and compassion lives on in this insightful comedy about what might be possible if people from opposite sides of the political aisle would stop shouting and take even one night to listen.

What a great idea and book. Here is some info on the book "The Heart Shaped Pox" from the author himself Tony Geftos.
February 14, 2001.
I came down with a severe case of chicken pox. As an adult.
I was 24 years old and working full time as a television journalist.
More than anything, I wanted to do something special for my sweetheart.
But I was running a fever upwards of 103F.
I was too sick to move. So, I started writing. By that evening, I had written what could only be described as an adult children’s book. The Heart-Shaped Pox. It‘s an epic Sonnet.
And it worked! 3 months later, I proposed. My sweetheart and I are married and living happily ever after. Only a few of our closest friends and family members know about The Heart-Shaped Pox.
Until now.

The Bedford Twp. Veterans team got its start when a collection of community members were inspired to gather and focus on supporting their local veterans. Following the success of the inaugural kickoff t-shirt fundraiser, the committee members continued to plan and build a solid foundation of resources and support. The veterans committee was launched and became Bedford Township’s premier organization dedicated to providing a variety of support to its veterans. The Bedford Twp. Veterans Center supports a wide range of programs including emotional, financial, housing, medical, and home care items in an effort to preserve the integrity of past, current and future generations of veterans and their families.
We serve the needs of our Military Veterans (active, retired, reserve, and guard), and their families residing in Bedford Township (Lambertville, Temperance and Samaria), Michigan. We will do this through the development and implementation of outreach programs and services, focused on meeting the unique needs and challenges of today’s veterans. We will increase public recognition of the value of our Veterans and their families, their services and sacrifice and raise public awareness of their contributions.
The ONE Village Council (OVC) is comprised of individuals living in ONE Village who are committed to encouraging residents, businesses, and government to be more responsive to the needs of our ONE Village neighborhoods.
Governing Board: The ONE Village Council is divided into fifteen geographical areas, each comprised of neighborhood residents who annually elect one person to serve as an Area Representative on OVC's Governing Committee. The Governing Committee provides a cohesive unit for all neighborhood groups to build a power base on issues of primary concern for the entire neighborhood. The Governing Committee elects four members to an Executive Committee that serves a one-year term.
Organization membership serves as a power base of neighborhood residents who are willing to come together to implement change for the good of the entire neighborhood. Members donate their time and efforts to the organization. They do research, study the root causes of problems, learn how to bring about change, explore solutions and take action. That commitment has resulted in a number of accomplishments.
They are in need of help on

The National Law Enforcement Officer Hall Of Fame was created in 2017 to honor Law Enforcement Officers. The purpose is to recognize those officers that have gone above and beyond in one way or another in the line of duty.
The Hall of Fame judge’s panel will be looking for those stories that show how the officer has gone out of their way to make a difference in their job and in their community. Any person nominated for induction into the National Law Enforcement Officer Hall Of Fame can be an active, retired or deceased law enforcement officer. There will be several honorees inducted into the Hall Of Fame each year.
In 2019 the Hall of Fame teamed up with Calibre Press. Calibre Press is one of the most respected law enforcement training organizations in the country. For nearly 40 years they have provided world class training nationwide that helps keep officers safe and effective on the street. They also provide leadership training for top law enforcement administrators and supervisors as well as specialized courses focused on strategic communication that can help control and depressurize challenging situations.
The Hall Of Fame looks forward to honoring LEO’s each and every year, although most say they don’t do the job for the recognition, we feel their stories need to be heard.

About the author Michael Swartz
My name is Michael Swartz and I’d like to welcome you to my book site! Like most other things in life, it was a trial-and-error process to become an author, since I am self-taught at the craft.
In my “real” job I have over 25 years of experience in the architectural field. That’s what pays my bills. But I became a writer back in 2003 when, on a whim, I applied for a writing position with an online newsletter called The Patriot Post and was one of 30 selected from 150 applicants. At the time my writing experience consisted of creating and editing newsletters for those living in the precinct I represented at the local political level and for the local Young Republican chapter; in short, I’m basically self-taught. (The same goes for politics: for the better part of two decades I was active in local political circles as an elected party official.)
After moving to Maryland in 2004, I began my website, monoblogue, (the lack of capital letters is intentional) which eventually was named one of the nation’s best state-based political blogs by the Washington Post. Not that it was all politics: since I wrote about what interested me, the website was also infused with a healthy dose of baseball and local music.
That experience came in handy at the end of 2008 when I was furloughed. Fortunately, I upgraded to my present paying position with The Patriot Post (where I appear most Fridays) and parlayed my political experience into covering our 2010 Maryland elections for PJ Media. After the election, I remained an occasional contributor there for another year or so.
I have done a variety of other online writing jobs – like many starting out, I was an Examiner and also worked on a weekly column for the former Liberty Features Syndicate. This mainly went to their website, but sometimes I was picked up by a small newspaper or two.
In 2012 I did a book (essentially an expansion of a series of blog posts I’d done a few years earlier called the 50 Year Plan) called So We May Breathe Free: Avoiding Ineptocracy. It was published through CreateSpace and Kindle Direct Publishing, and (quite honestly) if it sold 100 copies I’d be pleasantly surprised. I still have a few if you are interested.
So I’m no stranger to the printed word, but I vowed when I wrote a second book I would try to make it a lot better than the first. This website, then, is for that labor of love I call my second book.
I began the writing process for The Rise and Fall of the TEA Party back in 2016 when I left local politics, figuring the TEA Party had run its course and saddened by its demise, falling for the conventional wisdom of a Hillary victory and four more years of frustration as I watched the America I knew could and should be slipping away. However, as the 2016 campaign went on I got the sense that those who had attended the rallies and were most passionate about the cause had gravitated from a movement without a leader to a leader who was creating a movement of his own – one which adopted the name “Deplorables” after the name given to them by Hillary Clinton. She never knew what happened.
I pray that this book is enlightening as well as entertaining – not just for history buffs but for anyone who cares about what Ronald Reagan characterized as this “shining city on a hill,” the United States of America.

Each year since 1996, twenty young community leaders receive the prestigious 20 Under 40 Award. A Leadership Recognition Program, 20 Under 40 showcases dynamic leaders from Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan who are under the age of 40. The program recognizes individuals who have distinguished themselves in their careers and/or in the community. In addition to honoring the recipients, the program is intended to help motivate young people throughout our area to become community leaders.
Each spring, we solicit nominations for potential candidates. All nominated individuals are asked to submit a profile. From these candidates, an independent panel of judges selects twenty leaders to receive the award at a Fall recognition program. Judges consist of past honorees and community leaders.

Good Bears of the World (GBW) was founded in 1969 by the late radio pioneer, James Theodore Ownby, Colonel Robert Henderson from England, and English actor, Peter Bull, in Bern, Switzerland.
GBW Headquarters were located in Mr. Ownby’s radio station KNDI, in Honolulu until the organization subsequently relocated their headquarters to Toledo, Ohio in 1991 after Mr. Ownby passed away in 1986.
It was Mr. Ownby's dream to spread love and caring to children and the elderly who were in need of comfort with teddy bears. His dream has been carried on over four decades by members worldwide.
GBW was the first group to donate teddy bears to police departments in the early 80’s. This program has gained tremendous popularity in the last few decades.
Since their founding, GBW has given hundreds of thousands of teddy bears to those in need of love and a hug.
The Oklahoma City bombing, the crash of TWA flight 800, events of September 11, 2001, Hurricane Katrina, Kansas tornados and floods and the Fukashima Nuclear Disaster are some of the tragedies where we have gifted our Good Bears.
Firemen, policemen, emergency workers, psychologists, and grief counselors have discovered the teddy bear's magical healing power is invaluable when given to children and their families in traumatic situations.
The hope of the foundation is to not only help people that are in need but to also foster as positive self worth and self esteem to the individuals giving. There is nothing more uplifting than knowing you are helping someone and making their life better for it. Through this we are hopeful it can spark a change in our society on how we treat each other and ourselves (Decrease abuse whether it be drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, verbal, domestic, physical etc.).

Jerry Pickerings wife Deb Pickering came in to talk to us about the 2019 MS Walk and their team "Short Circuit"
The type of MS that that Jerry has is Relapsing-remitting MS
Relapsing-remitting MS is defined by inflammatory attacks on myelin (the layers of insulating membranes surrounding nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS)), as well as the nerve fibers themselves. During these inflammatory attacks, activated immune cells cause small, localized areas of damage which produce the symptoms of MS. Because the location of the damage is so variable, no two people have exactly the same symptoms.

Girl in the Glass City & Friends Bed Build for SHP
1447 N Summit St, Toledo, OH
4-13-19
9am-2pm
There are currently over 1000 kids waiting for a bed from Sleep in Heavenly Peace right here in NW Ohio. Let’s come together make some beds for these kids so that “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town."
Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) is a 100% volunteer driven organization with a simple mission, to give beds to kids who do not have them. The might be sleeping on blankets or pool floats on the floor. They might be sleeping on a couch or in a chair. Several siblings might be crowded all into one bed. But the fact is hundreds of kids are waiting for beds in our town and SHP can’t make them fast enough.
So let’s gather for a bed build on Saturday, April 13th at 9a.
We’ll need
1) sponsors - companies and individuals to join those generous sponsors we already have and can give at least $500 and
2) volunteers - about 25 of you to build the beds from 2x4s. We’ll train you. Don’t worry.
Sponsors will receive lots of recognition of their goodwill, SHP and I are good about blowing up FB with videos and pics of your kindness. You also have the opportunity to brand a bed with the SHP logo and possibly accompany the core volunteers on a delivery of beds to witness kids receiving their very own bed complete with mattress and bed linens.
Volunteers will be well fed and go home with the satisfaction that you did something concrete that matters in our community. Together we will build about 25 beds.
Click on the “going” or “interested” button to stay in touch with this event and feel free to ask questions below. We’ll keep in touch with you.
Many thanks to our current amazing build sponsors Doug Howard Builders, Inc., Redfox Custom Homes, Stephanie Kuhlman/ NAI Harmon Group, Kids Yoga Toledo. Much appreciation to our warehouse site sponsors Arakÿta. And thanks to Marco's Pizza, Toledo Loves Coffee and Kaminsky & Associatess/ Kate Johnson for sponsoring food for volunteers.

ProjectPROM is made possible thanks to a grant from Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Lucas County. Click the link below for all the details and contest rules.
One 30-second video — and a chance to show off your creativity and powers of persuasion — it’s that easy! If you’re a little stuck for inspiration, though, we have a few suggestions that might inspire you.

The Toledo Jeep® Fest – held the second weekend in August each year – celebrates decades of Jeep’s partnership with the City of Toledo. Jeep has been touching the lives of Toledoans, people throughout the United States, and people around the world in a meaningful way for a very long time, and in August 2019 the City and its visitors will celebrate that rich history for the third time as part of Toledo Jeep Fest.
The first Toledo Jeep Fest – a one-day celebration in 2016 – was an unqualified success, bringing an estimated 40,000 people to downtown Toledo, which was the most for any event since the end of World War II. Even with that high standard already established, the second Toledo Jeep Fest was indeed bigger and even better.
The 2018, Toledo Jeep Fest brought in an estimated 60,000 people including Jeep enthusiasts from 27 states, Canada and Mexico. The estimated economic impact was $4.5 million. Attendees celebrated their love for Jeep vehicles and an adventurous way of life – and, doing it in the city where the Jeep was invented and where its heart beats every day: Toledo, Ohio.
The Toledo Jeep Fest Steering Committee’s goal is to become the largest Jeep-related event in the United States. In 2019, we look to presenting the Jeep brand’s bright future, highlighting the new-to-market Gladiator pickup truck, and proudly showcasing Toledo as the heart of Jeep Country. We are stepping up our game and planning is now underway. The weekend of August 9-11, 2019 will be action packed, and thousands of Jeep enthusiasts from across the country are expected to take part in the Jeep parade through downtown Toledo, an All-Jeep Exhibit at the SeaGate Convention Centre, and much more.

When you buy a box of delicious Girl Scout Cookies, you’re powering amazing, year-round experiences for every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ extraordinaire in your community who sells them—that’s right, proceeds stay local and are reinvested in girls!
Big picture: as a cookie customer, you’re actually helping the next generation of female entrepreneurs get an important taste of what it takes to be successful—teamwork, planning, and a positive outlook. Beyond that, you’re actually narrowing the gender gap in entrepreneurship by nurturing girls’ skills early and often. How awesome is that?
Whether it’s a trip to a breathtaking place she’s never been, a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) project that will change the way she thinks about the world, or an opportunity to attend Girl Scout camp and revel in the power of the great outdoors, at Girl Scouts every experience helps her unleash her G.I.R.L. spirit to do amazing things for herself and her community and grow into the incredible woman she’s destined to become.
But wait, there’s more! By selling cookies, girls develop five essential skills—goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics—all of which help them succeed today and in the future. They grow their confidence and practice leadership, too.
What an experience! That’s why the Girl Scout Cookie Program focuses on her—because it’s about so much more than delicious treats. It’s about supporting girls’ success through the biggest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world—SWEET!

Revitalizing Toledo and Revitalizing Your City will be hosting a fundraiser for the movement "KEEP THE JAIL DOWNTOWN" over Facebook Live. Join us on our Live Stream on January 16th from 4 to 9 PM and donate to this cause via Keep the Jail's website. The hosts and guests include Kimberly Rose Ruby Morgan, Mary Olson Dutkowski, Asmi Barua, Benjamin Todd, and many more..
WHAT IS THE ISSUE?
The Lucas County government is attempting to build a $185 million jail. This jail would be the most expensive jail per square foot (nearly $700 per square foot) and per bed ($284,615), that has ever been built in America. The bidding process for this jail along with the county's overall planning process have been kept secret from the public until recently, raising suspicions of foul play by elected representatives.
MORE THAN A "NOT IN MY BACKYARD" ISSUE
From the single mother working three jobs in the hopes that her child has a bright future in Lucas County, to the local entrepreneur hoping that the Toledo market will be strong enough for their business to prosper, to even a seasoned business executive that has made large investments in the region that they hope will pay off, THIS ISSUE MATTERS! This isn't just about the construction of a jail. It's about whether or not the County will have the funds to fix the roads in the future, to invest in economic development projects, and whether or not the area will be a good place to live at in the future.
WHY REVITALIZING TOLEDO & REVITALIZING YOUR CITY IS GETTING INVOLVED
Our show takes a non-partisan look at politics from an economic policy standpoint. The expense of this jail puts our community at risk of being unable to make greater economic progress in the future. As a result, we believe that supporting this issue and preventing the county from making a grave mistake is important to the future of our community.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
On February 26th the issue of whether to build the jail goes on ballot. While the County has large amounts of funding from the Contractors who are supposed to build this jail, and the Unions that are going to be hired to build it, Keep the Jail Downtown relies on donations from every day Toledoans
The Keep The Jail Downtown Ladies are in to talk about the Special vote in February. You can also early Vote starting on 1/29 before the vote date of 2/26.

Chloe & the Steel Strings formed almost by accident at the University of Toledo in Toledo, OH. Lead singer and songwriter Chloe Wagenhauser had been writing songs in her bedroom for years, performing them for family and friends, though never gaining the courage to take them (or her singing talent) a step further. This changed, however, when one chilly evening she ventured into an open-mic night at a campus coffee shop, and heard the music of a mysterious and long haired bassist named Connor Ward. She complimented his cover of The Beatles’ “Rocky Raccoon,” and assumed that after their brief encounter, she may never see him again. She was pleasantly surprised to find that fate would bring them together yet again, so many times so that their connection on both a personal and musical level was undeniable. As Chloe and Connor grew closer over the course of late 2016, Connor encouraged Chloe to begin recording her plethora of original music, and thus Chloe & the Steel Strings was born.
"Bus Stop"
by William Inge
Directed by Sonia Perez
An American classic by the author known as “The Playwright of the Midwest.” In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and a few weary travelers are going to have to hole up there until morning. Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse, is the passenger with the most to worry about. She's pursued by a young cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull.
Jim talks about his band Side by Side. He also talks about genesis village.
Genesis Village is an active senior living community designed for people 55+ that includes exclusive amenities unlike any you’ll find in Northwest Ohio.

A few weeks ago we talked about ADD and other special educations. We decided to give Charlotte Perlakey a professor at Lourds College a call to come in and talk all about it.
The mission of the Barney Charter School Initiative is to promote the founding of classical charter schools and excellence in their teaching and operations, to the end that public-school students may be educated in the liberal arts and sciences and receive instruction in the principles of moral character and civic virtue.
The Barney Charter School Initiative is a project of Hillsdale College devoted to the education of young Americans. Through this initiative, the College supports the launch of K-12 charter schools. These schools will train the minds and improve the hearts of young people through a rigorous, classical education in the liberal arts and sciences, with instruction in the principles of moral character and civic virtue.
Reform of American public education, to be successful and good, must be built on a foundation of classical liberal arts learning—the kind of learning best suited to a free society and most needed for its preservation. The Barney Charter School Initiative is an important step in that direction.
To advance the founding of classical charter schools, Hillsdale College works with select school-founding groups of local citizens who care deeply about education, who plan to apply for a charter, and who prove themselves capable of starting and governing a school. When a founding group’s interests and abilities are a good match with the Barney Charter School Initiative, BCSI will assist in creating and implementing the school’s academic program, providing the curriculum design and teacher training. This support, along with guidance on the shaping of a vibrant and ennobling school culture, will provide the foundation for these new schools to promote a liberal and civic education in America’s public schools.
This initiative is made possible by a major grant from the Barney Family Foundation and matching gifts from other friends of Hillsdale College.

World renowned rock guitarist Gary Hoey’s first break came in 1987 when Ozzy Osbourne liked Hoey’s tape enough to fly him to LA for an audition. Although Zakk Wylde wound up with the gig, Ozzy recommended Hoey move to LA where he was certain he would get noticed. So he did - thanks Ozzy - and it paid off. In 1992 Gary’s cover of “Hocus Pocus” rocketed into the Billboard’s Top 5 Rock Tracks.

Veteran's Day Breakfast & Resource Fair
Veteran Breakfast is almost here. Mark your calendar for November 12 at Savage arena on the UT campus. Doors open at 800 am.
Susan Perry started Susie’s Coats in 2006, on her 50th birthday. There was nothing that she wanted or needed, and made the decision that she’d like to collect 50 coats to distribute to those in need. Susan and her daughter held that initiative in downtown Toledo and realized there was more of a significant need.
Each year the project has gotten bigger and bigger; more people donating and more people in need. In 2012, the community donated more than 700 items like coats, gloves and hats. Susie’s Coats is asking for the community’s support. There is a desperate need for men and women’s sizes extra large and above and additional hats, coats, scarves and gloves.
You can help us this year!
Susie’s Coats is now taking donations of new or gently used winter items. You can drop your coats and other warm apparel off at the following locations:
Jazzercise Fitness Center
1100 N McCord Rd

VETERANS NEED A VOICE. They want to be heard and have their issues addressed. The lack of services to their needs has created a defeatist attitude among Veterans. Veterans would greatly benefit from a neutral advocacy group that would assist them in meeting their needs. United States Vets, Inc. matches Compatriots (Veterans) to work one on one, educating them on their rights, help them access services both within the Veterans Administration and the community at-large. Of the over 25 million veterans in the United States, over 12 million are known to need after care services due to maladjustment to civilian life after discharge, medical conditions, mental health issues, drug/alcohol abuse and lack of spiritual strength. Sometimes these needs continue throughout their lifetimes. Being a Compatriot will add strength to handle life challenges.

Robin Reese Director of Children Services is in to talk Issue 9. Not sure about Children Services here is some info.
The agency's current mission statement was written in 1999 by a consortium of more than 100 community child welfare stakeholders and Lucas County Children Services (LCCS) staff. The group felt strongly that LCCS should take a leadership role in protecting abused and neglected children.
In assuming this responsibility, we also try our best to preserve families. Children belong in families, hopefully the one they are born into. We prefer that a child remain at home while we provide services to stabilize the family. If a child cannot live safely at home, we first look for an appropriate relative to care for the child for as long as necessary. If a relative is not available, the child will go into foster care or other placement. In every case, the safety of the child is our main concern.
We also believe in permanence for children. Children need stability, and they need permanence. If the crisis in a birth family cannot be resolved, it is our responsibility to seek an alternative, permanent family for those children in a timely manner.
Lucas County Children Services gets its mandate from state of Ohio law. According to the Ohio Revised Code, public children services agencies shall do all of the following:
- Investigate allegations of child abuse, neglect or dependency
- Make reasonable efforts to prevent the removal of children from their homes
- Accept custody of children from courts with juvenile jurisdiction
- Provide temporary emergency shelter when necessary
- Find family foster homes for children
- Implement a system for assessing risk to children
- Administer federal adoption assistance funds
Sandy Spang’s personal, professional, and educational experiences have prepared her to serve the citizens of Lucas County. After graduating magna cum laude from Bowling Green State University, Sandy held several management positions, and with her husband, Mark, has developed and managed a portfolio of residential and commercial real estate.
In 2009, Sandy spearheaded the creation of the Beverly Place Facade Grant to revitalize a retail center in the heart of the Beverly neighborhood, and opened Plate 21, a successful independent coffee house with 12 employees. In 2018, Sandy opened her second location, Plate One, in downtown Toledo.
Sandy was elected in 2013 and re-elected in 2017 as an at-large member of Toledo City Council. She is an advocate for economic development and fiscal responsibility, and introduced legislation requiring the city to develop a 20 year maintenance plan for the over 200 structures owned by the City, restore the position of Sign Inspector and revise the city's outdated sign code.
Council Member Spang's commitment to bringing innovation and best practices to Toledo led her to attend:
National League of Cities Congressional City Conference in Washington D.C. and "Big Ideas for Cities" in Los Angeles, CA.
CEOs for Cities Inclusive Growth Conference in Pittsburgh, PA.
The Urban Land Institute's "Joseph P. Riley Jr. Urban Vision Symposium in Charleston, SC.
Center for Priority Based Budget Annual Conference in Denver, CO.
Active in the community, Sandy served as a board member for the Josh Project, on the Educator’s Board of the Toledo Museum of Art, and as a teacher for the Toledo Urban Impact After-School Club.
Sandy received a Community Partnership Award from the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities and a Civitas Award, which are especially meaningful to her as she is guardian to her special needs brother, Steve.
Sandy and her husband Mark have adult children, Ben, Lily, and Eli, who inspire her to make Lucas County a place of opportunity.

After years of making hard decisions as a judge, serving on the bench has reinforced my belief that when people do what is right, things tend to work out. I recently made a personal decision that I know is right: I am running for the Court of Appeals this year. My family and I will be visiting across Williams, Fulton, Wood, Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky, Erie and Huron counties in 2018. Please share my Facebook page with your friends and say hello if you see me out! -Judge Zmuda
Our group petitioned under Ohio Constitutional Law. We did not petition under city charter law. Since we petition under Ohio Constitutional Law then the municipally has to follow state rules. This is according to the OHIO SUPREME COURT. Four out of seven Ohio Supreme Court judges also stated in our case law ANY CHARTER AMENDMENT citizen led or council led needs an ordinance to put it on the ballot.
The city of Toledo needs to make this right for the citizens. We deserve to vote!!
Please join us Tuesday 10/9 at 4pm at 1 Government Center to rally in support of the KEEP THE JAIL DOWNTOWN AMENDMENT. The city council meeting starts at 4pm.

Zepf Center is repeating its very successful fundraiser “Don’t Skirt the Issue – Help” on Friday, October 20 at the Zepf Community Center, 2272 Collingwood Blvd. All proceeds are directed towards developing housing specifically for mothers, allowing them to continue working on their recovery without being separated from their children, the #1 reason why women leave treatment. Last year almost $30,000 was raised for this project.
“Don’t Skirt the Issue – Help” is an evening of music, friends, and fun at the Zepf Community Center featuring Glass City Talent 419 and Guy in the 419 - Pat McCarty. Emcees for the evening include Melissa Voetsch -13 ABC and Fred LeFebvre 1370 WSPD.
Read one woman’s story: For many years, when people hear about the city of Toledo, they think of a nice place to live and do business. Unfortunately, now when you say Toledo many think of heroin and illicit drugs. Unfortunately, Ohio happens to be number one in the country for heroin related deaths.
Here in the Toledo area, Karen Freiberger is trying to come up with ideas to remedy some of this problem. She has joined in this fight against heroin for several personal reasons. She is the mother of two children. Her son is an F-18 aviator in the Marine Corps and her beautiful daughter is a 10-year heroin addict (currently in recovery). They both come from the same middle-class upbringing and yet chose such different path. Because of this, she feels the need to battle this horrible drug to help save the community in which I live.
The event features food from area restaurants, including Ciao, Zia’s, Real Seafood, Saba’s Bistro, LaScola, and Manhattan’s. Desserts are being planned by women in recovery. Amazing gifts are lined up for the live and silent auctions including a trip to Turks and Caico’s with airfare, an apartment in France, sailing cruises, dinner and wine tasting at Plat 8. Tickets are $60.00 each - for tickets or more information, please click the links below or call 419-841-7701.
Major Sponsors are Stapleton Insurance, Walker Funeral Home, GKN Driveline-Bowling Green, 5/3 Bank, City Paper/MLiving Magazine, 13Abc, IHeart Media-Toledo and Sylvania Advantage

On Sunday September 30th 2018, over 120,000 distinguished gentlefolk in over 650 cities worldwide will don their cravats, tustle their ties, press their tweed, and sit astride their classic and vintage styled motorcycles to raise funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and men's mental health.
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of Mad Men’s Don Draper astride a classic bike and wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way to combat the often-negative stereotype of men on motorcycles, whilst connecting niche motorcycle communities together.
That first ride in 2012 brought together over 2,500 riders across 64 cities. The success of the event encouraged the founder to consider how it could be used to support a worthy cause.
Influenced by the tragedy of losing one of our ride hosts to depression, from 2016 we have seen a change in our health fundraising goals. Now, the funding of men's mental health programs is a Distinguished Gentleman's Ride focus, in addition to prostate cancer research through our new official charity partner The Movember Foundation and the support of our title sponsors Triumph Motorcycles and Zenith Watches.

Partners for Clean Streams is dedicated to the healthy of the streams and rivers of the Toledo region and the people who use them. We all rely on these waters for drinking, recreation, commerce, the landscape, family traditions, and identity of this region. The waterways, and abundance of parks and green space, are part of what knits our communities together and draws people to our region, as we are blessed to be situated on one of the few Great Lakes in the world. Water touches every aspects of our daily lives - from the water we drink to the food we ship around the world to the fun we have fishing and relaxing in our outdoor spaces. But these blessings require care. Pollution, muddy waters, and trash threatens our trips, traditions, and economy. Investing in healthy waters is an investment in our community, health, and future. PCS partners with community volunteers, leaders, and government agencies to protect and clean up our struggling waterways for generations to come.

In 1986, a group of Northeast Ohio jazz fans led by Jean and Paul Huling formed a club called EARLYJAS (The Earlville Association of Ragtime Lovers Yearning for Jazz Advancement and Socialization). For well over 20 years, EARLYJAS presented a very successful and popular Fall Dixieland Jazz Festival in Strongsville, Ohio. Unfortunately, due to a lack of volunteers and the potential for major financial losses, their Board of Trustees voted to discontinue the Fall Festival after 2011.
EARLYJAS accomplished a great deal in the cause of presenting traditional Dixieland jazz over the previous 25 years, and made considerable contributions to the Summit County Kidney Foundation. Today the club is financially stronger than ever, and they continue to host monthly meetings, concerts, and jam sessions. But after 25 years, they decided to no longer produce the Strongsville festival.
Learning of this decision, “Ragtime Rick” Grafing, piano player with the Cakewalkin’ Jass Band and leader of The Chefs of Dixieland, agreed to produce a new festival to replace the one in Strongsville, to be held in Toledo. It is known as the GRUGELFEST, a tribute and memorial to EARLYJAS member Ralph Grugel, leader of the Eagle Jazz Band, who died in 2005. Ralph Grugel was a major force in Cleveland’s Dixieland Jazz community.
GRUGELFEST features 5 great bands over 3 days in 2 venues for each session, plus additional performances by world-class piano players, small groups, and jam sessions. From 2012 to 2016 it was held at the Park Inn by Radisson Hotel in downtown Toledo; in 2017 the festival moved to the Holiday Inn French Quarter in Perrysburg. Special room rates are offered for the weekend.

Sierah's life was unexpectedly cut short in the summer of 2016. At the young age of 20, she had accomplished so much and touched so many lives.

Dave Murray, managing editor of The Toledo Blade, says "mistakes were made" and apologized for a story which ran this weekend about the recent officer involved shooting. Social media created a storm of controversy when people suggested that the paper had printed two different copies of the Sunday edition for different parts of the city to enflame racial tensions.
Murray explained that the facts were different than what social media suggested and that it was simply a mistake in the first story being corrected before the second printing went out to subscribers.

Throughout his life and career, Gary, has known the importance of public service. The son of a United States Department of Agriculture grain inspector, Clyde Newnham, and a part time secretary, Bonnie Newnham, Gary grew up in Maumee as the oldest of three children. After graduating from Bowling Green State University, Gary was drafted and served his country in the United States Army. After being the distinguished graduate of his personnel management class, Gary was stationed at an Army base in Germany.
After his honorable discharge, Gary returned to Ohio to earn his master’s degree from Ohio University and law degree from the University of Toledo. With his law degree, Gary headed west to work for the Nebraska Indian Commission. In this role, he assisted Native Americans with their legal concerns and was actively involved with their culture. Before leaving Nebraska, Gary provided legal education and representation on topics such as insurance fraud and applying for government benefits to elderly citizens across eleven counties.
After his return to Ohio, Gary worked with the Lucas County Child Support Enforcement Agency, where he and his colleagues fought for the children of deadbeat parents who refused to provide child support. Retired from Lucas County since 2013, Gary now serves our community as a Guardian ad Litem for abused and neglected children whose parents have drug abuse issues. He is also the treasurer and a founding member of the Fallen Timbers Battlefield Preservation Commission. In this role, he has worked with the community, as well as elected officials like Representative Marcy Kaptur, to preserve the site of this important battle in our nation’s history.
In his free time, Gary is an avid biker, typically logging more than 50 miles a week. A sports fanatic, he and his wife have season tickets to Toledo Rockets football and basketball. He and his wife, Suellen, who is a retired public school teacher and administrator, have lived in Sylvania since 1993. Their only son, Nicholas, a 2002 Sylvania Northview graduate, lives in and is the Customer Service Manager of the Building and Zoning Department for the City of Columbus

Based on the classic 1989 film, Heathers The Musical is the darkly delicious story of Veronica Sawyer, a brainy, beautiful teenage misfit who hustles her way into the most powerful group of shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing girls at Westerberg High. The Heathers are the hottest, cruelest, most ruthless clique in all of Ohio, but before Veronica can get comfortable atop the high school food chain, she falls in love with the dangerously handsome new kid J.D. When Heather Chandler, the Almighty, kicks her out of the group, Veronica and J.D. decide to put the Heathers in their place—six feet under. The New York Times calls this hilarious, heartfelt, and homicidal new musical “a rowdy guilty pleasure,” and Variety raves, “Heathers the Musical should score with just about everyone.”

Author Terry James is in to to talk about his new book Tabby and the Return of the Blood Elf Empress
Terry James was born and raised in Northwest Ohio on September of 1972. Throughout his life, he had always dreamed of becoming a writer and following in the foot steps of some of his favorites such as Douglas Adams. It wasn't until 2013 when he finally decided to make that dream come true with the release of his first title, "Tabloid Tabby Book 1: The Hunchback of Eerie County High School". Though the book connected and was loved by those that read it, ongoing disputes between him and publisher, American Star Books, began to take a toll and the project was all but nearly abandoned.
Then in early 2015, James finally severed his ties with the publisher. James then re-edited the work, added some additional content, and revamped the cover and title and re-released the book under the new, and improved, "Tabby and The Hunchback of Eerie County High". Since then he has completed the series with, "Tabby and The Dissolution of April" (Book 2) and "Tabby and The Return of The Blood Elf Empress" (Book 3), along with a prequel to the series entitled, "Deceased Denise". A collection of anthology contributions was released on the three year anniversary of his first book's release entitled "Selfie Portrait"
When not writing, James is a employee of the United States Postal Service. He is married to his lovely wife, Robin, and has 5 children: Shelbi, Dallas, Paige, Kailee, and Addy. He is still a big reader who enjoys books by fellow authors Jim Beard, Tom Lambert and Michael Timmins. He is also a huge Star Wars fan, loves Disney animated movies, and Japanese Anime.
