Taking it away Get a valuable service and dispose of paper waste responsibly, as Creative

Living Services offers document collecting and shredding services at afford-able rates. It's a great way for businesses to deal with the problems of excess paper and sensitive documents — but it's also providing a valuable service to the community at large, as the program is a part of CLS' mission to provide employment for the developmentally disabled. Paper containers are available in 18, 32 and 50 gallon sizes. The first container is $30, with a $10 charge for each additional container; there is also a ten-cent charge for each pound of paper collected. It's an environmentally responsible choice, too — the shredded paper is donated to the Toledo Area Humane Society, where it's used as bedding for small animals. Contact Michelle Grandowicz, 419-724-4690. 1801 Adams St. www.creativelivingservices.com. —MD Foster the future

For kids who've suffered abuse or neglect, finding a loving foster parent who will care for them can make a lifelong impact. Lucas County Children Services wants to meet the growing need for volunteers who can make this impact on area children by offering free foster care training sessions through November. Families receive a broad range of support from the agency, including a stipend to use for the child's care, and training to "teach you the skills of parenting a child who has been quite likely abused or neglected, because there are some chal-lenges along the way," says Julie Malkin, public information officer for LCCS. Potential foster parents may be single or married and live in an apartment or modular housing — sexual orientation is not a factor. "We're looking for everyday families, the people that make Toledo great," Malkin says. Training sessions are available Tuesdays and Thursdays September 4 through October 11, from 6-9pm; they're also offered Saturdays from October 13 through November 17, all at the LCCS office at 705 Adams St. "The is the best way that somebody can give back to the community," says Malkin, "because they are helping to play a role in shaping our future." —AO

Jane Kessler Petitjean What? So we are supposed to buy shoes made of petroleum based materials that were produced in 3rd world countries by child labor, that end up filling up our landfills??? One of the great things about leather is that it is biodegradable and is a renewable resource. That is why we have used it through the ages. It is part of our nature.

Sharon Mooningham It's about time! Human beings lack so much personal responsibility and are the root of all the evil and negative this world suffers from … It's about time more people stand up for the innocent instead of standing up for humans simply because they were blessed to be born a human.

Think of everything you've bought in the last 24 hours. Every one of those items arrived at your local re-tailer bundled with other goods on a pallet. The global shipping industry relies on pallets, approximately 90% of which are made of wood, most of which only survive an average 1.7 trips. Wooden pallet creation is responsible for one million acres of deforestation annually, a stag-gering sum that would require up to 40 years of growth to replace. Inventor and Clay High School grad Daniel Wilson has launched a sustainable and ergonomic ship-ping alternative.

Innovatingagreenerfuture Local entrepreneur redesigns a shipping industry staple

ByKevinMoore

"I was working in the shipping and receiving department of Honda's R&D facility in Marys-ville, Ohio," recalls Wilson. "One day I had to ship a box that was 20" by 20", and all we had was the standard 40" by 48" wooden pallet. It was un-necessarily large for this box. Then, I had the thought, why hasn't anyone made a pallet of ad-justable size?"

That unique thought caught the attention of Rick Sayman, Wilson's friend and co-worker at Honda. Last year they founded Capstone Inno-

vations, Inc., a com-pany dedicated to finding "the next innovation" in all forms of products. In 2012 Capstone released the eco-friendly Fast Lock Pallet. It's en-gineered entirely within Ohio and manufactured an hour west of Toledo at 20 20 Custom Molded Plastics in Holiday City. Using patent-ed technology in an "adapt-able, interlocking pallet sys-tem," the pallets are "made of 100% recycled structural foam plastic. That means

we're double green: we're not using any new plastic, and our product is 40% lighter than wooden pallets, reducing its carbon footprint when shipped,” Wilson said.

The Fast Lock Pallet is now available through regional and national industrial and shipping materials distributors.

You might think that the one place in T-Town politics that would be august, aus-tere and above the whackadoo world of ruff 'n tumble would be the Toledo Munici-pal Court. You might think the Muni Court judges are staid, respectable, majestic and sober, and decidedly above the normal political fray.

Yes, you might think that. And of course, you would be wrong.

Judging AmyFirst a bit of history. Early this year a

memo surfaced detailing disorder in the court, most specifically in an ongoing se-ries of spats between Judge Robert Chris-tiansen and Judge Amy Berling, both Re-publicans. Berling accused Christiansen of screaming obscenities, including dropping F-bombs, and generally violent behavior. Christiansen shot back that Berling has a constant prevarication problem. Not to be upstaged, Berling was quoted in response stating that Christiansen should go to his “little quiet place.” The precise loca-tion of said place was not disclosed.

J u d g e Christiansen had come under additional fire for possible excessive absence from the Court. During City Council budget hearings, Councilman D. Michael Collins objected to mounting costs at Muni Court, including over a month of leave taken by Judge Christiansen in 2011 alone.

Christiansen, of course, has an inter-esting electoral history. Appointed to Muni Court in 1981, then lost election to the seat. Appointed to Court of Common Pleas in 1983, won election to the seat through 2005. Ran for Court of Appeals in 2004, lost. Ran for Muni Court in 2005, won with less than fifty percent of the vote because two Demo-crats split the remainder. Ran for Court of Appeals in 2010, lost. Ran for re-election to the Muni bench in 2011, and despite some unfavorable ratings from the Toledo Bar As-sociation, won. Ran for Court of Appeals in 2012, lost.

The accusations against Berling came from all six of her colleagues, however. A grievance letter they all signed was sent to the Ohio Supreme Court’s disciplinary of-fice, stating fears that Berling is mentally ill and a threat to court employees. The letter called Berling’s behavior “aberrant” and goes on to say, “words come short of describing the effect [of] Judge Berling’s mania” on the functioning of the court.

A memo signed by the six judges as well as Clerk of Courts Vallie Bowman-English was served to all court employees, ordering that “all staff is prohibited from having any

contact and com- m u n i c a -tion with Judge Amy Berling of any kind at all times.” Pretty stern stuff, indeed. The memo soft-ens a bit, allowing that “the work of the court must get done nonetheless,” so otherwise prohibited communication is allowed “only if they pertain to Judge Berling’s cases.” All such communication must be memorial-ized in writing. According to the letter, this is mandated so that “she cannot twist what was discussed orally.”

Electile dysfunctionThe melee in Muni seemed to have

calmed down in the intervening months. Then late in July Berling released her an-swering salvo, filing a grievance with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission claiming harassment based on her gender and per-ceived disability. Meaning folks are treating her funny because they think she’s a nut-case. The fact that one of her colleagues, Judge Michelle Wagner, joined the five male judges in signing the letter, and

Bowman-English also signed the memo, makes a gender-mixed group accusing her

of daffiness.What to do

about Judge Berling? The letter asked the state disciplinary board for

assistance, but noted a similar plea in 2007 yielded no results and concludes by saying, “we have tried everything, and are left with no resort.”

Well, maybe one resort. Re-enter Judge Christiansen. He has

now announced that he will run against Berling in the Muni Court election in 2013 with the intent of knocking her from the bench. Berling is in her third term, having won re-election in 2007 without opposition. Christiansen says he’ll detail all the reasons she shouldn’t be a judge after this Novem-ber’s elections are over.

It’s a no-lose proposition for Christians-en. If he wins, his term is reset to 2019. If he loses, he retains his current seat. Of course, having two Republicans in the race should make it easy for a Democrat to benefit from the split vote and win.

Berling says the threat of the ballot box is just another example of Christiansen trying to bully her. With his mixed elec-toral results, is it a very serious threat? Berling also contends she is not, in fact, mentally ill.

Lost in all of this are the rights of the ac-cused in Toledo Municipal Court. If you get arrested in Toledo, can you ask for a change of venue?

In the long term, can we stop having unopposed judicial elections? And folks, please take the time to research judicial candidates and vote. Preferably for those playing with a full deck.

When Adam, my waiter at Revolution Grille, presented me with the finish to my marathon meal, he politely declined to remark on my gluttony. By the time he placed the dessert on the table I had already allowed myself a last meal indulgence fit for a condemned inmate — two hours of a steady stream of appetizers and entrees.

But I’d seen the strawberry peach shortcake perched on a cloud of cream float by to surrounding tables, and, with my willpower already in shreds, I placed an order for one to finish my meal.

When it arrived, the circle of shortcake sitting on top was attempting, but failing, to contain what was underneath. From-scratch whipped cream spilled over in folds; slices of peaches and strawberries soaked in Grand Marnier spread across the bottom, their juices seeping and filling the edges of the plate. Honestly, it looked downright sexy.

It’s one of dozens of riffs on American cuisine from Chef Rob Campbell, the proprietor of Revolution Grille (with backing from area restaurant giant Mainstreet Ventures). He’s a Midwestern chef by way of New England: an Adrian, Michigan native trained at the New England Culinary Institute in Essex Junction, Vermont who was formerly at the helm of Bluewater Grille in Maumee. His restaurant glows — spotlights shine from above, making every table a stage for his entrees; the menus, iPad-like touch tablets, illuminate diners’ faces as they decide what to order; his bright, open kitchen casts light across the marble bar. Waiters in long red aprons and black t-shirts scoot between tight spaces, past the chef, who wanders between tables in his white coat, mingling with patrons, not with the air of an eager-to-please entrepreneur, but as a cook ready to relax with his guests after preparing an epic meal.

Flavor rulesCampbell is from the school of “fat

is flavor” — his appreciation for it is everywhere. Shreds of bacon are nestled in the fudge-y frosting spread across a sourdough chocolate cupcake; his braised beef short ribs taste rich and dense; green tomatoes are fried and stacked with layers of bacon (again) and goat cheese. As intense as much of his food is, he’s equally adept at whipping up dishes with a refreshingly light touch. The grilled romaine caesar salad tastes delicious, like a charcoal grill — romaine hearts are grilled and chilled, then placed on top of folds of beef carpaccio. Campbell was formerly the chef at Bluewater Grille, and his time there imparted some creativity with seafood. Lobster five bean salad is tossed together with shaved fennel, garlic, tarragon vinaigrette and white truffle oil. Tender chunks of grilled walleye inside crunchy taco shells made a nearly perfect appetizer.

What Campbell has achieved with his new restaurant is a reflection of the creative burst chef-owned spots

Fish tacos get a squeeze of limefromRevolutionGrille’sresidentprepster/waiterAdam;sweetall-Americanshortcakebecomes

are injecting into Toledo’s dining scene. Revolution Grille reflects his energy and tastes, and has intention — there is attention to detail and vision in everything from the seasonal menu to the extra-polished staff that welcomes diners who clean their plates of his inventive food.

Revolution Grille, 5333 Monroe St. (in the Hobby Lobby plaza). Monday thru Thursday, 4:30-11pm; Friday & Saturday, 4:30pm-midnight; Sunday 4-9pm. 419-841-0070. www.revolutiongrille.com.


Beer nerds rejoiceMatt Snyder wants to keep the hopheads

happy. That’s why he opened Middle Grounds Market, a new spot inside the Oliver House for hard-to-find beers, along with a great selection of wines and cheeses. “I love the obscure stuff,” Snyder says. “Linking people to cool and hard-to-find products has been a nice challenge.” Snyder earned his expertise in all things fermented at his former haunt, the Beer and Wine Cave, and has used his skills to pump his new venture with all kinds of cool brews. Think wine of the month clubs, winemaker meet and greets, Belgian beers and award-winning cheeses from unlikely places (like Defiance, Ohio’s Canal Junction Farmstead). Great bottles of wine start at $8, and while Snyder’s raising the brewing bar, he promises to offer classic six-pack selections, too. Middle Grounds Market, 27 Broadway off Ottawa Street (through the Petit Fours entrance at The Oliver House). 419-351-3335, [email protected]. —AO

Say cheese!Are you the type that goes out to dinner

with friends and gets jeered for ordering a plain old grilled cheese sandwich? Well, shake things up and invite your friends out to Paddy Jack’s, the latest eatery to open on Central Ave. (formerly home to Big Buddha’s Cast Iron Grill). The restaurant blends a highbrow concept with traditional American comfort food in the atmosphere of an Irish sports pub. (All the workers wear kilts!) Usually relegated to the kids’ menu, grilled cheese at Paddy Jack’s gets kicked up a couple notches with 25 gourmet variations. Some sandwich concoctions are as simple as the addition of caramelized onion and mushrooms, while others seem the brainchild of midnight munchie mad scientists. The “Loco Jack” comes with three types of cheese, smoked turkey and crushed Doritos, and the “Loaded Baked Potato” sandwich includes all the accoutrements of a baked potato. The two bars also offer a wide selection of beers from around the globe. 6725 W. Central Ave., Sylvania. 419-725-9048. www.facebook.com/PaddyJacksOhio—JG

career? With the opening of a self-named restaurant, of course. Brian Gump is debuting his B. Gump’s 101 Restaurant and Lounge this month in the Southbriar Plaza. The new venture takes the spot formerly occupied by Southbriar Restaurant, with three chefs throwing their creativity into the pot, including 6-year Las Vegas veteran Raymond Blanchong. Gump says to expect new takes on steakhouse classics, like coffee-and-cinnammon rubbed sirloin, a completely revamped “really slick” interior, and live music. 5147 S.

Sweeping it under the rug Too many vicious crimes against humanity are covered up by powerful organizations to save face. One of those — a stain on our country's military — is the number of rapes among U.S. servicemen and women that are concealed by the powers that be. Invisible War, which screens Saturday, August 25 at

the Maumee Indoor Theater, addresses a sick fact: a women soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than to be killed by enemy fire. And our military's response with systematic covers-ups — which continues to ruin the lives of the women in the film — is even more jarring, essentially giving a green light to this behavior. Sponsored by the YWCA Hope Center. $5. 2pm. Maumee Indoor Theater, 601 Conant St., Maumee. 419-241-3235. www.ymcatoeldo.org. —SR

Misleading, but in a good way There are only a few things misleading about the title of the 2011 Academy Award best film contender War Horse. Directed by Steven Spielberg, it's not a war movie and it’s not about a horse. It’s actually an anti-war movie with a horse used as a device to take us from one side of the conflict to another. The action takes place during World War I behind trench warfare lines, first with British and then German forces and finally amidst French civilians trapped in the battle zone. We get there by following the escapades of Joey the horse, who is conscripted into the British cavalry, captured by the Germans and then ridden off by a pair of youthful deserters onto a French farm. Free. Thursday September 6, 2pm. 101 E. Indiana Ave., Perrysburg. 419-874-3135. www.waylibrary.info —SG

The undiscovered country A literature professor once told me that “everyone

should spend fifteen minutes a day thinking about Ham-let.” There’s something to that — a reason why Shake-speare’s 400-year-old masterwork is still being read and performed regularly, and also why the Toledo Rep is pre-senting it this month. Hamlet is one of the cornerstones of Western culture, an epic meditation on justice, family and what it is to be human. And it’s also a hilariously convoluted potboiler, with plenty of scheming, stabbing, snarky wit and long-delayed comeuppance. The Rep’s staging, directed by local theater veteran Matthew Gretzinger, is a chance to see your own community sink its teeth into a tragedy that has transfixed audi-ences for centuries. September 14,15, 20, 21 & 22, 8pm; September 16 & 23, 2:30pm. $20 adults. 16 10th St. 419-243-9277. www.toledorep.org. —MD

Examining a dark master Casual film buffs and true enthusiasts alike will treasure a chance to get a professional tour through the work of one of the key masters of the first century of cinema, as the University of Toledo presents a special online course in the work of Alfred Hitchcock. This Adult Liberal Studies seminar, taught by Associate Professor of English Robert Turley, will zero in on key works in the auteur's canon, including the classics Rear Window, Psycho and Vertigo (recently named the best film of all time by Sight & Sound). Lectures and discussions will give cinema fans unique insight into an artist who did so much to create the basic vocabulary of the movies we enjoy today.

If you haven’t seen the exhibition Revelation: Ma-jor Painting by Jules Olitski, check it out before it closes on Sunday, August 26. His large, sweeping shapes of grand near-monochrome color are ex-pressive works that make this traveling exhibition something you don’t want to miss.

In early June local artist Mede wanted to bring some life to his beloved city by creating a mural ev-erybody could see and enjoy. He’d heard through friends that the person to contact was Rachel Rich-ardson and Art Corner Toledo (ACT). So he posted on ACT’s Facebook page “I understand you get walls” and Richardson replied with excitement, “Yes, I do.”

ACT started in March of 2010 with a lofty goal — “to change the world through art and activism.” The organization would serve as a facilitator to form partnerships between local social service organiza-tions, artists and the community. ACT hopes that creating public works of art will be the catalyst for further revitalization in Toledo’s downtown and Up-Town districts.

The organization’s first completed project is the mural at Manos Community Gar-den, 1441 Jackson by artist Har Simrit-Singh and Toledo Grows.

“Toledo is a city full of artists and activists, so there’s no better way to promote the city,” Richardson says.

Mede’s goal was to simply beautify Toledo — Rachel took the next step and chose a cause for him. Richardson’s best friend was marrying the friend’s female partner, so Rachel encouraged Mede to create a wall that would promote marriage equality.

“What’s a cooler wedding present than that?” Rachel said.

Manos again donated the wall, and after taking monetary contributions and discounted materials from the Art Supply Depo, the project was set to begin. Mede teamed up with another local artist, Mr. Taylor, whom he had admired but never worked with, and the two decided to let their ideas flow. Mede would do a portion of the wall mural in his whimsical style of bubbles in rainbow colors representing LGBT rights, while Mr. Taylor added sharp, straight designs in black & white. The mural represents two sides coming together — old & new, change & status quo — into some-thing more beautiful twisted together instead of standing alone.

The “Toledo Loves Love” mural has really lit a fuse as other property owners in the UpTown District have requested murals for their buildings. There are plans for an upcoming mural partnering Planned Pethood with artist Richard Reed. The wall on the 11th Street side of Glass City Cafe’s building has a planned photo installation with artist Robin Charney and 1Matters.org. Richardson says there are more murals in the works for the future. You can meet with the Mede, Mr.Taylor and ACT during the 2nd annual PARKing Day on Friday, September 21 in the UpTown District.

To donate to Art Corner Toledo, or for information on how to get a mural on your property email Rachel Richardson at [email protected] or visit them

on Facebook at www.facebook.com/pages/Art-Corner-Toledo-ACT.

A look at a changing time

The eagerly anticipated major exhi-bition featuring the portraits of Edouard Manet will open in October at the Toledo Museum of Art, and to help build an-ticipation, the TMA will first present Prints and Authors From the Time of Manet, a special exhibition in the Works on Paper Gallery. Drawn from the museum’s collection, the show features prints, photographs and illustrated books by contemporaries of Manet, giving a vivid tour of a time of rapid change in the visual arts. Artists like Renoir, Whistler and many lesser-known names led the way toward an emphasis on everyday experience. Septem-ber 13-January 13, 2013.

It seems that the Black Swamp Arts Festival is, musi-cally speaking, the most underrated festival in Northwest Ohio. Look at past acts: Railroad Earth, Chuck Prophet, The Infamous Stringdusters, Bernard Allison and, last year’s main stage attraction, Black Joe Lewis & the Hon-eybears. The Festival is always well-attended, but it’s still a hidden gem to many. And this year’s lineup, as usual, is worth the 20 minute drive south. Oh yeah, and it’s free. Here are four of the bands we’re most excited about.

Powerhouse line-up, no cover

Black Swamp does it again Sept. 7-9By Scott Recker

Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside Friday at 8pm

She’s everything the money-hungry bubblegum pop machine isn’t. A raw, distinc-tive Americana melting pot of folk, blues and jazz with pure, captivating energy, the Portland-based four-piece is a shiny nugget of modern-day roots counterculture. She even takes lyrical swipes at the Justin Biebers of the world, angrily crooning “What have these people done to music?/They just don’t care anymore” on Dirty Radio’s opener “I Swear.” She’s a loaded pistol that’ll keep you moving.

The Bright Light Social Hour Friday at 10pm

If you think the self-indulgent, in-your-face guitar solo is a thing of the past, you clearly haven’t seen The Bright Light Social Hour. They rock so hard that every time the boys from Texas play at the Village Idiot, the power goes out at least twice. Simply said: They have a big sound, from the thunderous rhythm section to distort-

ed power chords to the monstrous, jock-rock vocals. They’re also the first band I’ve seen that makes a Keytar look cool.

Eilen Jewell Saturday at 3:15pm

I don’t know what’s more captivating: her sweet, soul-ful sound, or the biting power of her sad lyrics. The Queen of the Minor Key has the seductive voice of a sexy lounge singer and the sensibilities of an alt-country powerhouse. Her weary, road-worn vocals effortlessly intertwine with a sound that owes as much to jazz as it does twang. Don’t be fooled, the Boise native isn’t soft; her cover of Loretta Lynn’s “Fist City” has an upfront don’t-mess-with-me tone.

Wheels Sunday at 12:20pm

The new millennium brought with it the return of the banjo among budding indie-folk bands like this four piece from Yellow Springs, Ohio. With rock & roll rhythms that hang in the air sliced by gui-tar solos and banjo twang, they’re a quintessential roots revival band that play by their own rules. It’s bluegrass. It’s pop. It’s ambient, dreamy hipster, folk rock. And it’s good.

The Black Swamp Arts Festival runs from Friday, September 7 - Sunday, September 9 on Main Street in Bowling Green. For more info and full schedule, check out www.blackswamparts.org.

Built to spillMickey Finn’s Pub /Tue., Aug. 28

Boise, Idaho’s band, Built to Spill, is com-ing up on 20 years of working together, and they aren’t slowing down. Led by bearded guitar hero Doug Martsch, the group has kept a loyal fol-lowing, and, along with bands like Dinosaur Jr., formed something of a link between 1990s alt-rock and the indie rock of today. Any fan of Band of Horses or My Morning Jacket will appreciate Martsch’s densely rocking guitar suites, and you can even hear a bit of the Shins or Death Cab for Cutie in his plaintive way with a melody and wobbly Neil-Young-ish croon. BTS hasn’t put out a record since 2009, but here’s hoping they’ll play a career spanning set that dips into clas-sics like 1997’s Perfect From Now On and 2001’s Ancient Melodies of the Future.

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.

Keep your eye on the sky as the sun, Mars, and Mercury all change signs. There is a Blue Moon and we celebrate the Labor Day holiday.

— BY SUE LOVETT

August 22 - September 4

©2012 Ben Tausig

ARIES (March 21-April 19) On the 23rd Mars makes you look for hidden meanings. Your imagination runs wild the 25th and 26th. The Blue Moon on the 31st finds you ready for the holiday. There is labor for you on Labor Day. It will not bring money but it brings recognition.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) On the 22nd the sun moves into your fifth house of fun and games. That is a signal for you to set plans for a Labor Day vacation and a change of pace. The Blue Moon lights up your life. On the weekend you try to fit 48 hours into each 24.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) On the 22nd the sun brings attention to your home base. The 24th and 25th try a new place with new people. Plan your holiday weekend so you are not shut out anywhere. Both twins are in shape for a parade, a festival, even a boat ride.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Work shows up the 24th through the 26th. It may be a labor of love. There is a Blue Moon (the second full moon this month) on the 31st. Get in shape for the holiday. Head for the beach at least one day. You crabs are happiest walking in the sand.

LEO (July 23-August 22) Mars moves into your home the 23rd so the dust flies as you get the place in shape. From then until the 31st your life is a blur. The Blue Moon then lights up your surroundings. You have good intentions to rest on the holiday weekend but it’s impossible. VIRGO (August 23-September 22) Happy Birthday to you on the 22nd. You cannot stay on schedule after the 23rd but everyone forgives you. The Blue Moon the 31st is in your seventh house and Mercury comes home to your sign so you prepare for a traditional holiday.

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) On the 23rd Mars calls attention to financial affairs. A short trip the 25th and 26th is fun. You are concerned about previous commitments for the holiday weekend. Join the festivities on the 2nd and 3rd. A parade? A boat ride? Both?

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) You are in the spotlight the 22nd and 23rd. Mars moves into your sign giving you tons of energy but you have trouble harnessing it. The Blue Moon on the 31st is extremely fortunate for you. Try to pack three days into two over the weekend.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) You are on the road the 24th, 25th, and 26th. The Blue Moon on the 31st may keep you close to home to enjoy the holiday weekend. Get some rest on the 1st, as there is no down time on the 2nd and 3rd. Enjoy it all!

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19) You are quiet on the 24th and 25th. The week of the 27th you are happy because you are in control. The Blue Moon on the 31st shines where you drive so be cautious. You may be gone for the weekend and you do more than your share of the work.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) Career matters are on your mind. Alternate those thoughts to include a celebration for the end of summer. You can mix business with pleasure. The Blue Moon on the 31st is expensive. Start September on the road, a beach, or a boat. PISCES (February 19-March 20) On the 22nd the sun moves into your seventh house which is great for relationships. On the 25th and 26th you party — hopefully on someone’s boat. The Blue Moon on the 31st shines directly on you and you do love the spotlight.

CELEBRITY VIRGOSVirgos come into the world with a bottle of Windex in one hand and a roll of paper towels in the other. They want to organize and clean up the world. They are not shy and get involved in community affairs. Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey and Warren Buffet are Virgos. Locally Collette Jacobs, editor-in-chief of the City Paper, and Mike Navarre, Oregon’s police chief, celebrate too.

Out and aboutToledo Pride celebrated equality for people of all sexual orientations at their third annual festival and parade the weekend of August 10. Revelers showed their love for the LGBTQA community at downtown's Levis Square.

STYLE SENSEBy Pat Nowak

Kristen Mori, regional account executive at WNWO Channel 24We spotted some stylish ladies at the Party in the Parking Lot XXV event at the Toledo Club on July 20th, but we thought Kristen's body-con stripes were a standout. The account exec proves ageist fashion rules are meant to be broken.

How do you decide what to wear in the morning? I think about the meetings I have lined up for the day to determine my style. If I am meeting with a bank, I will choose a conservative suit, but if I am meeting with a small boutique owner, a more casual skirt and top that’s more trendy would work. What do you think is a style strength in Toledo? I think Toledo has great boutiques, for the size of our town. I love the boutiques in Perrysburg where I live — Ragazza, Elegant Rags, and Vivian Kate are my go-to stores. Where do you shop? Local, online, or chain store, and why? I mostly shop at [those] local boutiques, but I am guilty of buying shoes online from Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus because I just cannot find the brands that I like at the local department stores in town. I miss Jacobson's shoe department!! What's a trend that makes you shake your head in disbelief, and why? The neon colors showing right now I can live without and some of the 80s trends that are trying to come back are not meant for someone my age to wear. It was fine when I was in my teens, but I would never consider wearing them now!
