Lose weight for the LAST time...Do it right with

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

weightlosstoledo.com

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

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

Other adjustments have been much easier- adjusting to losing 5 inches in my waist and having my suit jacket size come down from a 48 to a 44 ( the size I had worn decades ago when I first graduated from college) have been pleasant and satisfying. While I still do not have the agility of a cat, I can now move and do household tasks without discomfort or significant exertion.

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

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

MY JOURNEY CONTINUES...Day 66 with the

And cycling for AllWith the mission to give the gift of cycling to all citizens, The Program to Educate All Cyclists is an initiative that gives individuals with disabilities the skills needed to bike safely. It also helps those individuals partici-pate in local race events and group rides. Recently, PEAC was awarded a $20K grant by the Toledo Community Foundation, and that funding will allow the group to work with Toledo Ability Center, a local nonprofit, to devise a summer bike pro-gram for children with disabilities.

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

by Alison Wood-Osmun

Try a little teamworkThis is your chance to bend it like your favorite soccer player, make your

dream an in-living -color reality or to take fan mania to the next level. The Toledo Area Soccer Association has built an amazing roster of over 1000 ball-chasing enthusiasts who share a love of the game.

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

New teams will be forming in mid-April, and spots are always open to those that have never played, as well as for those with experience. Anyone can play; you dont have to be in prime shape, stated Richard Parish, TASA president. Teams are for adults in age categories ranging from 18 to 50+ for men and wom-en, as well as mixed ages and co-ed. Games are held Sundays through Thurs-days in the evenings. During the winter months, matches are held indoors at the Maumee Soccer Center (1620 Marketplace Dr., Maumee) and games are outdoors during the warmer months, at the Catholic Youth Association Field (555 S. Holland Sylvania Rd.). We welcome anyone curious about joining to come out and watch the teams play and ask questions, Parish said.

arrive at 3:46pm on March 20 here in

the northern hemisphere, but its also the

International Day of Happiness

(facebook.com/Intl.DayofHappiness

to see how the world is celebrating).

Established in 2012 by the United

Nations, the day emphasizes that

happiness is an important universal con-

cept not measured by monetary status, but

rather how we can prosper by practicing

environmental stewardship and extending

love and friendship to all. And to highlight

these two wonderful events, gaze up into

the southeastern night sky this month, as Sirius,

the brightest star in our galaxy, is twinkling over-

head (yes, visibly twinklingmaybe thats how stars do the happy dance).

It remains one of the most cutting smack-downs in the history of American politics.

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

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

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

Apparently, the shock and sorrow of losing a husband wears off quickly, if the strange rebound of Collins widow Ms. Drabik is any indication. She isnt too shocked and sad-dened to start calculating and conniving in a run for office.

Thats right. Sandra Drabik, high-powered lawyer from Sylvania, is considering run-ning for Mayor of Toledo. To complete her late husbands legacy, she says. Drabik thinks she compares favorably to Collins, the unassuming son of working class Toledo, the for-mer Marine and beat cop. We say, not so fast.

What did she know, and when did she Noe it?Drabik grew up far from the mean streets of Toledo. She graduated from Sylvania

Southview High School and still owns a house in Sylvania, purchased in 2001 for a cool $279,000. She went to law school and became a highly placed member in Republican gubernatorial administrations, including those of George Voinovich and Bob Taft.

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

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

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

And those gifts from lobbyists Taft failed to disclose? Some were from Tom Noe.Drabik is a lifelong Republican from Lucas County. She votes religiously, and pulls

a Republican ballot each and every primary. She was highly placed, including at the cabinet level, during the time Noe was running amok in state government. Sandy, you got some explaining to do.

No safe harbor Yet she tries to draw comparisons to Mike Collins. The late mayor was a worker bee,

whose public service started at the lowest levels, as an enlisted man and later as a police patrolman. Collins only brushes with power included heated negotiations as a union boss. Collins was a true political independent who never pulled a partisan ballot.

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

Drabik says she is a fiscal conservative with a social conscience. Tell that latter part to the folks at UT, who fought for domestic partner benefits during the mid-Aughts. Then-General Counsel for UT fought hard to keep folks, those in committed relation-ships but without valid marriage licenses, from getting a dime in bennies from the U. And of course, the name of that lawyer was none other than the aforementioned Ms. Drabik. Got a little guilt on the ol social conscience now, Sandy?

As if that phony makeover for political gain wasnt enough, Drabik is now reportedly considering legally changing her name to Collins. She didnt change it during Mike Collins life. Now that hes gone she wants his name? How politically cynical and calcu-lating can you get?

Sandys decided its not too soon after burying her late husband to start the spin machine. Its our job to drop some knowledge before the machine gets too big a head of steam.

And before Drabik gets too big a head.

LIGHTSCAMERALOCALToledo filmmakers reel us in by Kayla Williams

Behind the scenes of Toledo, there is an formidable film community hard at work. There are many players, and while all of them cant be named in just one take, here are a few who are currently stepping into the spotlight.

Alongside Allan Mayette, Zuver co-owns Shat-tered Images Films. Zuvers interest in filmmak-ing dates back to 1996, when Scream was released. He was a horror fan before he saw it, but it was the film that solidified horror for him as an important genre.

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

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

I think doing a remake is challenging for a di-rector . . . you have to get the main points, but you also have to provide a new take on the story, Zuver said.

Hes currently working on New Blood Awaken-ing, the sequel to his first film. It has a higher pro-duction value than anything Zuver has done in the past, and has an anticipated 2016 release date.

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

Chad Zuver

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

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

Cullen studied film at The University of Toledo, and started Cullen Park Productions in 2011. Cullen Park in Point Place is named after his great grandfather, a former vice mayor of Toledohis production com-panys namesake.

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

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

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

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

Toledo has a lot of nonprofits. Were thinking of how we can make ourselves bet-ter. Being in that culture motivates me . . . filmmakers are driven by their surround-ings, Sanchez said.

Sanchez placed several shorts in com-petitions. One of her films, Margot Come Home, about a girl who misses her fathers funeral, made it into the Seattle Film Festi-val. It was particularly meaningful because of the loss of her own father around that time. I went to his funeral. But at the time, the act of missing a funeral was similar to the emotions I was feeling thenkind of numb and disconnected from my familyso thats what that short was about.

I think about film all the time, Sanchez said. The happiest I feel is when I am on a shoot. Films: New Blood Rising, A Night of the Living

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

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

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

to study film at the University of Toledo.

One thing that is great about filmmaking is youre not doing the same thing every day, he said.

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

I wanted to start a studio here because Hollywood comes to Ohio to shoot. Why is this something that we cant do ourselves? Wil-liams said. We have everything here.

When my family first moved here, it was the late 90s, and we didnt have a lot of money. We barely had any furniture, but we had a TV. A family friend of ours re-corded movies for us, because we didnt have cable. Family movie nights were a cornerstone of my childhood. That was probably the biggest influence film had on me, in my [early] life.

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

A girl, Areas replied.

Things with the girl didnt work out, and seeking refuge in his early love of film, Areas created Patient. The film was my way of letting go of her, he said.

The impetus for the film was a music video Areas saw, shot on a handheld cam-era. After I watched the video and saw that they used equipment and software that wasnt expensive, I said, Why am I going to buy a $3000 camera? With tech-nology today, you can make things hap-pen.

Patient was shot and edited on an iP-hone 6. It has no dialogue, and uses evoca-tive imagery to tell the story. The movie premiered at The Oliver House last De-cember.

I wrote the ending on a positive note. At the moment that I wrote it, I wasnt [in a positive place]. Thats what I wanted. I felt so much better once it was done and out there for people to see.

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

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

Rodojevs Shaft: The Akron Chronicles became the first part of a trilogy.

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

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

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

Downtown Toledo finally has the puz-zle piece found in every great metro area: An excellent sushi experience.

Kengo Sushi & Yakitori is now open at 38 St. Clair St., next to Downtown Latte. The menu changes every day; co-owner Josh Wagy (Smashing Toledo) said one of the goals for the restaurant is to sell out as much of the menu each night as pos-sible. Wagys partner, Chef Kengo Kato, was formerly a sushi artist at both Kore-ana and Sakura.

Kato was trained in New York Cityhis father was also a sushi chefand has worked all over the U.S. Wagy met Kengo while he was at Koreana, and their friend-ship was born from a mutual love for su-shi and their creative, innovative appe-tites. The passion for good eating comes through in this new venture; the changing fresh seafood menu reflects classic sushi, yakitori flavors and recipes, while allow-ing the chef to experiment. Uniquely fresh

The 20-seat space is casual, and qual-ity is evident in both its food and ambi-ence. An intimate interior with beautifully stained wooden tables, minimalist, mod-ern decor and cheery staff make for an appealing and welcoming atmosphere.

The menu at Kengo is a la carteor-der what you like, its all good. On Wagys recommendation, we started with the ya-kitori, enjoying several variations on the classic Japanese dish of skewered meats. Chicken thigh, pork belly, and chicken meatballs were cooked on Kengos cus-

tom-built yakitori grill, and were delec-table, crispy, and flavorful.

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

The sushi arrived, carefully presented on wooden planks. The tuna and madai were excellent; both fresh and generously portioned. The sushi came with the chef s homemade soy sauce blend, real wasa-biWagy explained, none of that fake stuff, and spicy-sweet pickled ginger. Hand-selected draft beer, wine, and sake (on tap) are available to enhance the fla-vors.

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

Kengo Sushi & Yakitori is a welcome addition to Toledo cuisine. Whether youre looking for a place to dine before a week-end show, or youre in need of a post-work escape for the evening, you wont be dis-appointed.

Wonderland in the Glass CityThe Toledo Ballet brings

Alice onstageby Rima Butto

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

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

Carrolls chaosThough he claims its the most

challenging show hes done, Lang thinks Alice writer Lewis Carroll is a good fit for his aesthetic. The show will use shadow play and clever costume and set design to recreate the elements of Wonderland, such as the Rabbit Hole and Mad Tea Party. Representing the layers of symbolism and imagery of the story may be difficult, but Lang relishes not being limited by reality. It doesnt have to make sense, and its actually better if it doesnt. It gives you a lot of freedom, he remarked.

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

St. Patricks Day onlyThough he remains true to the

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

A fine lineKeeping the young audience in mind,

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

Langs Alice in Wonderland appeals to all; kids love its playfulness, while adults can let their inner-child reignite. For those who arent familiar with the original novel, he hopes that seeing the ballet will provide an appreciation for the book. I think seeing it come to life in front of your eyes will be a different experience, Lang said. Its another way for people to connect with stuff, and I like that idea.

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

Whats love got to do with it?

Nine years ago, a group of Bowling Green State University

Since then, the Manifesto has been treated like most artistic mani-festosit has consistently been snipped apart, met with additions and read aloud as a drunken gesture. Krueger will join his exhibition, Love (and other Lamentations of Flesh) at River House Arts, to perform the Manifesto. Reserve your seat in advance online. Free. 8pm. Friday, March 20.

Diego Rivera, 1932. Detroit Institute o

Nearly 30 years after the death of artist Eddie York, DK Treasures owner Debbie Speegle was greeted by a familiar face: Ali Joseph, owner of the now-closed Mugshots bar. He brought with him boxes and artworksincluding busts of famous celebrities. They were the remaining accoutrements of the life of Edward E. York, Eddie. These artworks and artifacts will be on view for three days during a public showing and sale at Lighthouse Landing Hall, Friday, March 20 through Sunday, March 23.

The mystery of YorkIts unlikely that those with memories

of the late artists work include any moments with York. His life and legacy lived in his art that was peppered throughout Toledo: Large, sculptural busts, reproductions and paintings of the bars York occupied, such as Andres Lounge and the Angry Sea. A reproduction of a 1918 WWI bi-plane hung at the Toledo Zoo.

York only considered a few people, including Joseph, to be a friend. Being kind, York was brilliant, but fragile. Speaking broadly, he was a character. If you are being rude, he was an unpredictable bum. If you are being honest, he was a troubled visionary.

York was a WWII veteran and suffered from paranoia, post-traumatic stress disorder, deep depression, and was prone to violent outbursts. After the war, he came to Toledo and studied at the Laingor Art Studio and School, but was unable to find a job after graduation in 1950. He resigned himself and worked Union jobs, but had a hard time keeping them due to erratic behavior.

He sought solace the same way that many dejected dowith to a bottle. With a heavy heart, York began working on commissioned artworks in exchange for

a housing, or food.

The artist lived off of two Mounds bars a day, scraps of bread and the modest pay of bar owners in exchange for art. Though he stopped drinking, he was still physically damaged from the impact.

A lost soulBy the time he met Joseph in the late

70s, York had been through different bars and projects, moving about every eight months. He was malnourished, mentally unstable and in pain.

Joseph said he felt that York was one of Gods lost souls, and his art was a gift to make the world better. Eventually, the artist took an interest in Joseph and began to make art for the Angry Sea. Joseph made sure that York had food and clean clothes. York thanked him for his

kindness with daily visits before the bar would open, and a prolific production of art for the bar.

When he died in 1986, Joseph paid for York to be honored in a full military funeral. He was buried with four Bronze Stars, The American Defense Medal, and the European African

Middle Eastern Campaign Medal.Eddie Yorks primary method

of communication was his art. Not comfortable with most people, he spoke through his work. Though many knew his art, including President Truman who was given a set of Eddys coins in 1964, few knew the man behind the production. This exhibition of his works is one of the only chances to fill in the space between the art and the artist.

He thinks that iTunes and streaming services are lacking and make for an in-complete music experience, character-izing their oft-vague genre categories as a business person with very little cre-ativity in their bones, who came up with a format that everybody just accepted. It was because of these philosophical hangups with the music business that Alt arrived at his platform for Vnyl. Genres on Vnyl are called #Vibes, and titled in SEO-trackable style like #rainyday, #danceparty and #betweenthesheets.

taking requestsAlt employs a small staff at Vnyl,

charged with the task of satisfying 777 subscribers with 10,000 requests for in-vites to the service. When we talked, Alt admitted his warehouse did not have that many pre-paid shipping boxes.

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

Vnyl is still fielding invites. As for con-cerns of whether the vinyl sales surge is merely a trend, Alt is not naive to the pos-sibility.

Is this a five-year business? A ten-year business? I have no idea. I just want the product to be awesome, Alt said. Hopefully, at the end of the day weve created something that didnt exist be-fore in the marketplace, needs to exist, and creates new listeners for people to experience music in a way that they want to.Get more details on Vnyl and request an invite to

TherightalbumNick Alts Vnyl gives the people what they want

byBlakeGillespie

When was the last time a Toledo na-tive made national headlines, or graced the pages of Rolling Stone? Recently, a California entrepreneur made news with his Netflix of vinyl subscription ser-vice. In the process, he name-dropped Toledos long-shuttered Camelot Music, declaring it was instrumental in inspir-ing his life-long interest in retail record sales.

Its called Vnyl, and thats not a typo. For those that recall BMG Music Club, a CD subscription club popular in the 1990s, Vnyl is similar, but strictly for vi-nyl collectors. The service is like Birch-box; curated packages are sent to your doorstep on a monthly basis. Members are only charged extra if they keep the records instead of returning them in pre-paid shipping boxes. With vinyl sales up 51.8 percent since 2013, Vnyl assesses the trend while thinking differently about how we categorize our record collection.

a better experiencePeople are wanting a way of listen-

ing to music that doesnt feel like mass production, founder Nick Alt said. This seemed like the most timely thing to do as a test. I didnt set it up as a business . . . Id have been satisfied if 100 people said yes, please send me some vinyl.

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