Anonymous says, “Anita get something

off my chest.” Hildo’s last column (“Get in

the Back of the Line”) prompted this reader comment:

Anita Lopez as Mayor? She is the female version of Carty Finkbeiner, creating a toxic and hostile work environment for employees at the Lucas County Auditor’s office. She buys people with their salary. She abuses her power with money. Look at her turn over rate since 2007. All of her top directors left. You really think they took 20k pay cuts to be with their families? The people she ran away are the people who ran the office and made her look like a super star for years. Anita is not what a Democrat stands for. The people in her office are afraid to speak out.

Move it or lose itTrouble getting around in T-Town

by Johnny HildoSpeaking of the trivial and the mundane,

it’s often the little things that keep a good city from becoming great. What attracts folks who could choose to live anywhere? How do companies with young professionals decide to locate where they do? And what keeps the upwardly mobile in place once they’ve arrived?

These are folks with means and aspirations. In the digital age they can put down roots anywhere and digi-commute if necessary. How do they make decisions about where to domicile they’s bad selves?

Generally speaking, if you can live anywhere, you choose to live where it’s exciting and stimulating to live. A vibrant arts and music scene. Funky, interesting nightlife. Diverse cultural events. Hubs of activity, especially downtown. Unpredictably cool traveling shows that stop through unexpectedly. Green space and parks that allow for quiet reflection. Hot spots that melt your face off. A pace that can be slow or lightning quick, whatever the mood strikes. Institutions with innovative, creative leadership that never cease to thrill and amaze. Great intellectual

culture, often driven by a university and a great library system.

Why would you pick Toledo? Look back over the list. Toledo kills some of them, and the rest are either on their way or doable. So let’s do this, y’all! What d’ya think? Can we be the next great American city?

Car show That brings us to potholes. Geez, are

we tired of talking about potholes. And the cars they destroy. You’d think it was the only thing keeping us from greatness. It isn’t. But it leads naturally to the one thing that really toots the pooch in T-Town.

Getting Around The young and hip want options. They

aren’t wedded to the car culture that so enthralled the generation on its way out the door. They want their downtown

venues to be walkable. They want to be able to commute by bike. They

want to be able to connect the dots.And that’s where Toledo is stuck

in the 1950s.We’ve totally missed the boat

on infrastructure investment. The Marina District’s Road to Nowhere is only the start of the problem.

There are bike paths to nowhere all around town. We have a slipshod

assortment of weird little bike lanes that don’t connect into anything. Attempts at a comprehensive bike plan ran aground on the shoals of a backward looking City Council. Meanwhile the brave souls who bike regularly take their lives into their own hands navigating the roadways of Toledo. Relief for bikers is nowhere in sight. Instead we worry about parking options for the oil-eating dinosaurs.

Get on itPedestrians hardly fare better.

Downtown has been so chopped up by misguided development that it is more like three separate downtowns. The convention center, arena, and ballpark have cut off large sections that should be ripe for accelerated hot spot development. Instead we have a few blocks of walkable nightlife separated by blocks of wasteland. Pedicabs can only do so much to make up for the lack of urban planning.

Transit? TARTA is making strides to connect and organize the system. But added night service routes will assist in getting the city hopping. Ditto for holidays and weekends, festivals and other fantastic activities. Leadership at TARTA, has moved us along down the road, but more will be better.

Cabbies complain about unfair competition from Uber. But Uber is exactly the point. Easy to use, on-call transportation that takes you from point A to point B where and when you want. Rather than fight it, the rest of the system should take a lesson and adapt.

Toledo can be on the cusp of greatness. There are visionary leaders at key institutions. Private investment is starting to roll in. Positive energy is building.

Now we need to figure out how to better move it.

Or rest assured, we risk losing it.


Bird FestDuring the Biggest Week in American Birding (May 6-15), North-

west Ohio’s near perfect rivers, lakes, parks, refuges and preserves attract migratory birds (including warblers, orioles, tanagers, gros-beaks and more). Flocking right behind them are over 12,000 visi-tors from around the world visit our area to birdwatch.

Magee Marsh, the warbler migratory capital of the world, allows birders to see over 30 colorful species of these beautiful little songbirds.

Find your happiness riding a bikeby Tom Konecny

Bicycles offer fun, freedom and fresh air. Beyond an evening pedal or serious exercise, cycling can also be a practical mode of transportation. Riding a bike offers the benefits of burning calories, saving gas, spending time outdoors and, perhaps the biggest perk: convenient parking.

Hassle-free commute

Though a licensed driver for nine years, Erik Thomas of Toledo is not as young as you’d expect. At age 39, Thomas has always kept his residence within close proximity to his place of work, Toledo Bikes! He probably still wouldn’t have a vehicle were it not for a job that requires hauling a ladder and tools.

“I try to bike as much as possible,” Thomas said. “Before (my current job), there wasn’t really a reason for me to even need a car.”

“Everyone cites gas prices as a reason to bike,” Thomas paused, “If you live in the Toledo area, you can go to a grocery store, your school and your job all within five miles of your house, you don’t necessarily need a car.”

Living the lifestyleBut what about the person who drives,

say, from Sylvania to Downtown Toledo? Is it realistic to think someone can plan to bike 12 miles, packing a change of clothes and carrying a laptop, and then need to freshen up when they arrive?

“It’s a little bit of a lifestyle thing, and a little bit of a cultural thing, and it’s not something that’s going to change quickly,” Thomas said. “People are now used to the idea of living in the suburbs and having a commute— that’s normal for them. Now there seems to be a shift back to people living closer to where they work, and having more amenities closer to work. That kind of thing takes a cultural shift.”

From an early age, Thomas has always preferred pedaling wherever he needed to go.

“I rode my bike to school,” he said. “In college, I added baskets on my bike to go to the grocery. Today, I do a lot of my short errands by bike. Here in Toledo, the idea of going downtown, I would never drive there. I can ride to the Mud Hens stadium and lock my bike right outside the gates.”

The way Thomas sees it, commuting is sim-ply lost time he’ll never get back.


Pushing the pedals Each May, TMACOG is the local sponsor of National Bike Month,

promoted nationally by the League of American Bicyclists. The League points out that 40 percent of all trips in the U.S. are

less than two miles, and from 2000 to 2013, the number of bicycle commuters in the U.S. grew by more than 62 percent.

“This year for Bike Month, we’re trying to [encourage] using bikes as an alternative mode of transportation,” said Dasher. A calendar of various local biking events is available via the TMACOG website.

TMACOG also partners with bike shops throughout northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan to offer free bike checks to prepare cyclists for a safe ride. Checks take a few minutes with an inspection of tires, brakes, chains and cranks. Participants will also receive a copy of a guide to using a bicycle for commuting and everyday transportation.

Putting the cycle in recycleToledo Bikes! encourages bike use through a

bike recycling and education center, last year the group refurbished and donated 120 bikes to low-income residents. Some Toledo Bikes! volunteers receive free bikes as sweat equity, contributing their time to help to fix donated bikes that are then resold or donated.

“They’re earning this bike, so it’s appreciated and treated as something of value,” said Thomas, part-time shop manager and education coordinator.

The four part-time employees at Toledo Bikes! also accept donations of any bicycles and bike parts – working or not – which are then reworked and resold in an effort to help pay rent and to support the organization.

Toledo Bikes! is a bike lover’s paradise, with tools, oils, cleaners, bike stands, and a friendly environment fostering learning with other cyclists. The cost for a basic membership and access to the shop is $15 per year. Slightly more costly options also offer formal instruction.

The group partners on several large events each year, including a fall Irish Hills bike tour and family-oriented rides in the Metroparks. It has plans for group rides, catering to families, starting from its Washington Street shop..

Toledo Bikes! is looking for interested individuals to serve as board members, monthly meetings.

Sharing UT’s Rocket Wheels

The University of Toledo unveiled Rocket Wheels last fall, a campus bike share program to foster a stronger and greener UT. The program has 50 bikes for rent through several locations on campus.

The rental process is simple: registered users swipe their student ID/Rocket Card, at bicycle racks at three campus rental spots. Bikes are free for daily rentals, but there is a fee if the rented key and/or lock is lost. The rental machine provides a key; users then unlock the bike and can ride for up to six hours, before the bike must be returned to the same location.

“Students were pushing for [a bike share], we just had to come up with a feasible program that the University could start,” said Diana Watts, Rocket Wheels coordinator. “So, we developed this program as a pilot and we will measure the demand and use.”

So far, the response has been favorable: About 350 people are signed up, and by request, the program is now also open to faculty and staff. Rocket

Wheels is operated by UT’s transit services department, which also runs the campus bus program that averages over 300,000 rides per year. The idea is that Rocket Wheels, patterned after programs at Michigan State and New York University, will alleviate traffic along the main travel arteries of campus while offering an eco-friendly, alternative mode of transportation.

“The mission at UT is to provide a better, cleaner, healthier campus for everybody, and bikes are a part of that,” Watts said.

The university’s duo-wheeled fleet includes two bike brands, but for rider simplicity, all bicycles are one-speed cruisers, which are easier to maintain and repair.

For now, interested users must pre-register for the program at bikeshare.utoledo.edu, Registration is usually approved within a day. UT hopes to offer further flexibility as the program evolves, with plans to add the capability to return bikes to different rental spots and to lengthen rental periods.

Toledo has plenty of great bike trails to explore. Most of the area metroparks have either all-purpose trails, bike-pedestrian paths, or exclusive bike trails, and some of the parks connect to three regional trails.

The University/Parks Trail � , connects the University of Toledo with Wildwood Preserve, travelling about six miles from the UT campus through Ottawa Hills to King Road in Sylvania. The Towpath Trail runs eight miles and connect Farnsworth, Bend View and Providence Parks. The region’s longest off-road bike trail, the Wabash-Cannonball Trail, links Side Cut Metropark, Fallen Timbers Battlefield and Oak Openings along its ten miles.

A fourth trail called the � Chessie Circle Trail, which is opening in stages, will connect north and south Toledo along a former rail line.

Five free self-service bicycle repair stations, located in the Metroparks and accessible �during park hours, include all the necessary tools to perform basic bike maintenance.

Happy trails to you


Bike share in Toledo?

There are discussions of establishing a bike share program, which would operate like Rocket Wheels, in downtown Toledo, a concept now offered in comparably sized cities, such as Dayton and Madison, Wisconsin.

“I know there’s been a lot of talk at TMACOG (Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments) and with groups in Uptown Toledo… about having some kind of bike share program, but they haven’t developed how it’s going to work. (UT) did have some meetings with the city and discussed how we can partner, but the start of [Rocket Wheels] rested on UT’s shoulders,” Watts said.

TMACOG transportation planner Lance Dasher envisions Downtown

Toledo with a bike share program, saying “it would be feasible in Toledo, and one of the things is that you have to have the right partners on board.”

Dayton’s program includes a dozen prominent sponsors and two founding sponsors. Bikes are rented on a daily, monthly or yearly basis, starting at $5 for 24 hours, with 24 bike rental stations plotted throughout its downtown.

For now, Bike Month–celebrated each May– is an important reminder of the opportunity for bicycle transportation in Toledo.

“I like to think it makes a difference, though there’s no real way to measure it,” Dasher said. “(TMACOG) held public meetings throughout the area, and people expressed the desire for more facilities like paths and more bike lanes, because of the safety factor.”

Aidriana’s co-owners and chefs, J.R. Hernandez and Mike Sader, appreciate their restau-rant’s location at Renaissance Place along Holland-Sylvania, north of Sylvania Avenue.

Daily, 15,000 cars drive past. Opened last fall, their menu and creativity bring something Toledo hasn’t yet experienced. Aidriana’s combines a scratch kitchen (where everything—sauces, breads, broths—are made in the restaurant kitchen) with old world cuisine, presented in an upscale dining environment.

“We’re trying things that no one else is doing,” Hernandez said. “I believe res-taurants copy each other, and they aren’t being as creative as they could be. You can evoke so many senses through food, and if you understand that, it can make you a popular chef.”

Serving the starsSader knows what it’s like to be ad-

mired. Locally, he operated Gianno’s (Maumee) and Cohen & Cooke (Bowl-ing Green), but his talents are known in Seattle, Napa Valley and Los Angeles, among other kitchens. He’s served ma-jor Hollywood stars and become close friends with prominent chefs, including Wolfgang Puck and Rick Bayless.

Sader worked with Hernandez at Co-hen & Cooke over a decade ago. Hernan-dez had also traveled the nation honing his craft, and a chance encounter with Sader last year led to Aidriana’s.

Inventive varietyNamed for one of Hernandez’s

daughters, at Aidriana’s guests will find dishes drawing inspiration from around the globe: chorizo del abuelo, seared scal-lops, puttanesca pasta, cherry smoked bone-in pork chop and cowboy crusted sirloin steak, to name a few.

Aidriana’s also offers a ‘chef’s pasta’ selection, a diner-chef collaboration, offer-ing you a chance to customize your dish. Simply name your taste or culture prefer-ences, and they’ll create a custom dish.

Hernandez invokes magic with the ‘chef’s sandwich,’ a wildcard menu item offering him the ability to fashion what-ever brilliance inspires him in the mo-ment. Through a stroke of good luck–or more likely Hernandez’s talents learned via Le Cordon Bleu Institute of Culinary Arts– I enjoyed an outstanding salmon sandwich on house-made whole grain with pickled red onions, greens tossed in a red wine vinaigrette, plus a side of pasta purses stuffed with goat cheese.

The price is rightDespite elaborately named menu

items and elegant blending of tastes, Aid-riana’s pricing is surprisingly affordable. Most lunch items are around $10, with dinners ranging from $10-$20. The menu also regularly offers several 5 or 7-course meals for a special culinary experience.

Aidriana’s, where you can appreciate chef-driven inventiveness and expand your culinary palate, all for reasonable prices. A place you shouldn’t miss.

11:30am-4pm Tuesday-Saturday, 5-9pm Tuesday-Thursday, 5-10pm Friday-Saturday,

ABitof“Tomfoolery”Village Players musical revue

of a legendary satiristbyJeffMcGinnis

Tom Lehrer may not be the most pro-lific of satirical songwriters, but he is one of the most beloved. Known for a series of hilariously off -center songs he wrote and performed in the 1950s and 60s, his work has remained popular throughout the decades due to incisive wit and observa-tional brilliance. Artists such as “Weird Al” Yankovic continue to cite Lehrer as an inspiration, nearly a half -century after his retirement from performing.

Toledo actor and director Bill Quin-lan was influenced by Lehrer’s work while growing up in San Francisco in the 1960s. Quinlan now brings the songs to a whole new audience in a production of the Lehrer musical revue “Tomfoolery,” playing at the Village Players’ Upton Av-enue Theatre, beginning May 6.

“I absolutely love his music, his ir-reverence and his genius sense of hu-mor. No one could touch him. Lehrer breathes rarified air, as both a musician and satirist,” says Quinlan.

No brainer Quinlan has plenty of experience

bringing shows with a humorous bent to local audiences. Most recently, he di-rected productions of “Monty Python’s Spamalot” and “Shrek, The Musical” for the Oregon Community Theater. When the Village Players’ Board of Directors approached him about directing “Tom-foolery,” he says it was a “no brainer.”

“It’s always more fun and more chal-lenging to be involved with a project that I am interested in, and I’m definitely a fan of Tom Lehrer,” Quinlan said.

The show, originally created and pro-duced by Cameron Mackintosh, is a re-vue of over 20 of Lehrer’s most beloved and hilarious works. From the nuclear -proliferation anthem “Who’s Next” to the environmental ballad “Pollution,” the songs are as stinging and insightful as they were the day they were written.

Unique and differentQuinlan said he could not have asked

for a more talented group to bring the show to life than actors Heidi Fern Clau-sius, Laura Crawford, Lane Hakel, Rob-ert Holdren and Jill Reinstein.

“I’m not sure I’ve laughed this hard during a rehearsal before,” Quinlan said. “I introduce a lot of unique and different elements to this show, and this cast has been wonderfully open and responsive to my direction.

“There is no one quite like Tom Leh-rer, and I know that I have a deeper ap-preciation for his talent and genius now, having worked on this show. I hope that [the audience] will carry some of that ap-preciation with them as well.”

What does your neighborhood mean to you?

The City Paper worked with the Toledo Fair Hous-ing Center, The Arts Commission and the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library to put on a zip code themed poet-ry contest. The concept: Toledoans submit short poems inspired by their zip code, where the number of words in each line is determined by the corresponding digit in their zip code.

We received 276 entries from 34 zip codes.

The contest judges— Jim Ferris, Joel Lipman, Rhonda Sewell and Rob Salem— chose 50 entries, and the poets were invited to read their works on 419 Day at the Main Library. The panel chose the top three winners and the audience selected their favorite as the People’s Choice champion.

Each zip code matters.

It’s not just an address, it’s an identity.

HandmadeinToledoLocal vendors who help make Maker’s Mart

ByAngelaConleyandAthenaCocoves

In April 2012, Jessica “Oh Sew Betty” Crossfield began drawing together more than 80 local and regional makers for a juried indie craft fair, Handmade Toledo’s Maker’s Mart.

Since then, Maker’s Mart has expanded exponentially, leading to Handmade To-ledo Maker’s Shoppe, offering a year-round, small-scale version of the twice annual Maker’s Mart experience.

The Spring Maker’s Mart is Saturday, May 7. We spoke with a few local makers who have been with Handmade Toledo since the beginning.

Oh Sew BettyAs the founder of Handmade To-

ledo and Maker’s Mart, Jessica “Betty Floored” Crossfield, has played a large part in Toledo’s creative renaissance.

“The handmade movement is be-coming bigger and gaining momentum. More people are interested in buying handmade items. We try to make the shopping process more interactive throughout the community. During Mak-er’s Mart, all the businesses on the block have a great day,” said Crossfield.

Beyond facilitating the semiannual event, Jessica has also been a vendor under the moniker Oh Sew Betty, selling unique, handmade fashion accessories with a vintage flair, such as handbags, clutches, and wristlets with bold geo-metric prints and leather details. Oh Sew Betty items are available at Hand-made Toledo and via Etsy.

Humblebee Family FarmJada and Eric Clingo of Humblebee

Family Farm have sold their wholesome food and bath products at Maker’s Mart since 2012. “The Maker’s Mart vendors are like one big happy, crafty family and it is always nice to see new faces… We are all doing what we love, what drives us, and that wouldn’t be possible with-out the people that come to support us,” Jada explains.

Humblebee’s products are created with a blend of organic, non-GMO, hor-mone-free, and antibiotic-free ingredi-ents. From a selection of good-for-you toiletries like all-natural shampoo bars to organic cotton candy, Humblebee products can be purchased via humble-beefamilyfarm.com.

cravejewelrydesign Morse code necklaces. Silver feath-

ers bracelets. Repurposed bullet ear-rings. Jaci Riley’s repurposed jewelry has been a crowd favorite since the first Maker’s Mart. Riley opened the Etsy shop for her company, cravejew-elrydesign in 2007 and attracted na-tionwide attention.

Riley has participated every Mak-er’s Mart and considers it one of the top shows in the area, “I don’t know if it’s just our gritty, rust belt thing, but it seems this general area is very recep-tive and supportive of makers.”

Rileys designs are distinctively clean, subtle and functional. “I love the idea of being able to wear something but not always being conscious of it being there. The easier it is to man-age the better, and if it also looks cool? That’s great.”

Tiny TerrasJesse Heider began creating botani-

cal microcosms in her youth, and decided to craft wearable versions in 2012. A year later, she opened her Etsy shop, Tiny Terras, and has participated in Maker’s Mart every year since.

Sourcing local botanicals, the small, glass vessels are filled with clippings from Floral Pursuit (in the Warehouse District) and flowers or herbs from her own garden.

During Maker’s Mart, Heider loves speaking to booth visitors who are curi-ous about her approach. “It’s such an amazing experience because Toledo art-ists are not only showing work, but are

Celebrating CatLambert

C.A.T. Fest to remember local art advocatebyJeffMcGinnis

Dee Brown was on Facebook when a notification popped up in her feed. It was a link to her friend Cat Lambert’s Face-book page, spotlighting a picture she had posted almost a year ago.

“It was a little post with a kitty, about how angels may suddenly appear to you when you least expect them. And that was literally her last post on Facebook, and then she suddenly became an angel amongst us. We can’t let people forget that she’s still our angel,” Brown says.

Shining lightLambert was a shining light for the

Toledo scene, with her website Wher-estheCat.com spotlighting area events and bringing members of the artistic community together since 2009. Her influence and love is still being felt, eleven months after she was slain in her Rossford home. (Her husband, Daniel, pleaded guilty to her murder and was sentenced to life in prison.)

To help keep Lambert’s memory and legacy alive, Dee Brown will host the first C.A.T. (Collective Art Tribute) Fest on May 14 and 15 at Delightful Art with Dee, her art gallery and performance space on N. Michigan Street.

“Cat was everyone’s best friend. Ev-erybody loved her. She genuinely was one of the people that I loved most in this whole world,” Brown says. “She was fab-ulous. She was just, like, my heart. And she put so much into Toledo; she made me believe in Toledo so much.”

Collaborative community The two -day festival will feature

musical performances from 18 different acts (including local favorites like Chris Shutters, Ryan A. Roth and Orlando Finelli) and activities for all ages, from a “Pretty Princess Art Class” for kids to a wine tasting accompanied by Brent Beggs on piano.

By casting such a wide net, Brown explained, she hoped the event would capture some of that sense of collabora-

tion and community that Lambert’s work inspired in the area’s artists.

“I think that she would be very proud of the way that the artists and the musi-cians are reaching out and working to-gether willingly and happily to put on the show,” Brown said.

Never forgetBrown hopes the event will raise

awareness of domestic violence by throwing a party for her friend, an angel, taken too soon, who continues to inspire the creative minds of the Glass City.

“I just want people to never forget, because she loved them. And that there’s always going to be something that can be done to make life better in Toledo.”

Sue Lovett is available for personal astrology readings and private parties. 419-474-6399. suelovett.com

It’s party time! Celebrate Cinco de Mayo, a new moon, the Kentucky Derby, Mother’s Day, Jupiter going direct and Friday the 13th.— BY SUE LOVETT

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Celebrate Cinco de Mayo on the 5th and get some surprise money on the 6th. You are on the road for Mother’s Day. Feel great on the 9th and stay under the covers on Friday the 13th. Help on a community project the 15th.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make a list of goals and resolutions to put into effect the 6th when the new moon makes its annual visit to your sign. Work on your budget the week of the 9th. Venture out Friday the 13th and go to two parties the 14th and 15th.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The new moon on the 6th may expose some of your secrets. Enjoy the Kentucky Derby and Mother’s Day. You are busy at home the week of the 9th and go to a Friday the 13th party. Entertain at home the 14th or 15th.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) The party begins when you celebrate Cinco de Mayo on the 5th. The new moon on the 6th brings requests for help on a charity project. You prepare a feast for Mother’s Day. Starting the 9th you go from one event to another.

LEO (July 23-August 22) On the 6th get your work schedule in order. Place your bet at the Derby party; be entertained on Mother’s Day. The week of the 9th is short because you stay under the covers on Friday the 13th. Shop on the 14th and 15th.

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) Being your usual organized self is difficult. On the 6th make travel plans for Mother’s Day BUT be flexible. The week of the 9th is okay but you get nervous Friday the 13th. Invitations begin pouring in starting the 14th.

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) You try to please everyone. So you celebrate at a Cinco de Mayo party, a Kentucky Derby event, and entertain on Mother’s Day. Friday the 13th you remain calm and fulfill obligations. Look for peace and quiet the 14th and 15th.

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) Your partner is being helpful and enjoys going with you to the Derby party. You are invited to a special dinner on Mother’s Day. The week of the 9th is quiet until Friday the 13th when you begin a weekend of hard work.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) Your career is still at the top of your schedule. The parties interfere with your sensible plans. On the 9th Jupiter ends its four month retrograde period so celebrate big time! Ignore Friday the 13th and sleep all weekend.

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19) You celebrate Cinco de Mayo. The new moon on the 6th makes you a winner but only if you take a chance. Prepare the Mother’s Day dinner to serve or take with you. On the 14th and 15th get organized for Memorial Day.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) You are ready for all the parties. Some work shows up Mother’s Day but it is pleasant. The week of the 9th passes quickly and you defy supersti-tion on Friday the 13th. Invitations are starting to pour in.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) You love to party so start with Cinco de Mayo, the Kentucky Derby and Mother’s Day. Neptune, your ruling planet, is NOT retrograde so you go full speed ahead. The week of the 9th is okay but you do not venture out Friday the 13th.

CELEBRITY TAURUSThe Bull could be out in the pasture smelling flowers, not in the mood to fight. They are happy music oriented people. Examples are Barbra Streisand, Willie Nelson and Adele. Locally Blizzard Bill of Channel 13 and Mary Beth Zolik, recently retired from 101.5 the River, also light candles.

Cailie FischerAge: 25Occupation: Professional hair stylist and model

A fun-loving spirit who exercises to rock and hip-hop, Cailie is someone you want to know. The tattooed beauty grew up riding dirt bikes in her backyard in West Toledo. Now, she is a nationally published model featured in major tattoo magazines, U.S. Ink and Ink Girls.

What inspires your unique sense of style? Ever since I was young, I have always thought outside the box and experimented with different styles. I mixed and matched my clothing—more so mixed than matched. As I grew older, I watched a lot of MTV and was inspired by the celebrity fashions. When I turned 21, I got into modeling and my style evolved.

Where do you get your hair done? I’m a professional hair stylist. I graduated from Whitmer High School with my cosmetologist license. I don’t let anyone touch my hair because I know how I want it to look and I have perfected the art. Most of my hair-styling clientele comes from people meeting me and loving my different hairdos.

What is the signature piece in your eclectic wardrobe? My piercings and my tattoos are everything! They are permanent accessories.

Where do you find those awesome heels that you wear? I get most most of my heels online. One of my favorite websites is DollsKill.com because all of their stuff is crazy and one-of-a-kind!

Your nails are very colorful and the rainbow colors are so eye-catching! Are they a big part of your overall style? Doing hair, I constantly work with my hands. I feel like they should always be a great representation of me, at all times.
