A $6.6 million project will force Toledo’s Beatty Park to temporarily close Oct. 1. The project will install a major sewer upgrade as part of the federally mandated Toledo Waterways Initiative (TWI).
The park will potentially remain closed through the spring of 2013 as 2,900 lineal feet of 9-foot diameter pipe is installed, 1,300 feet of which will go through Beatty Park.
“With the size of these sewers, the depth of the trenches and the large concrete junction chambers that will need to be constructed, there was no safe way to keep the park open during construction,” TWI Commissioner George Robinson II said.
Among those affected by the closing include youth groups and two local organizations that play cricket there.
“The closing of Beatty Park unfortunately will curtail sports activities for youth groups as well as suspend cricket matches involving two area organizations,” Robinson said. “Upon project completion, the cricket pitch will be rebuilt in Beatty Park.”
Construction will begin near the intersection of Ayers Avenue and South Cove Boulevard as well as the eastern region of Beatty Park. Construction will continue west through Beatty Park and on South Cove Boulevard through the intersection at Auburn Avenue before ending at the road’s intersection with Monroe Street.
The project is part of TWI’s second phase in a 25-neighborhood project through 2020. Its first project upgraded the Bay View Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The TWI program began in 2002 following the settlement of an 11-year lawsuit between the City of Toledo and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It was developed to reduce pollution in the region’s waterways, including the Maumee and Ottawa Rivers as well as Swan Creek.

Jenny Sugg fought cancer for more than three years with a smile on her face, inspiring her family and everyone else who came into contact with her.

“She was incredible,” her husband, Mike Sugg, told Toledo Free Press. “She fought the disease with everything she had. She never for a minute asked ‘Why me?’ or complained or was negative. From the get-go, she had this attitude of ‘This is the hand I’ve been dealt and let’s fight it’ and she immediately turned her attention to other women with breast cancer, helping them fight the fight as well. She was an amazing individual. Completely, totally just an inspiration. She was just unbelievable.”

Sugg – who lost her battle with the disease on Dec. 6, 2010, at age 31 – has been designated the “In Memory” honoree at this year’s Komen Northwest Ohio Race for the Cure event.

The annual fundraising event designates two individuals each year: an “In Memory” honoree, celebrating the life of someone who has died, and an “In Celebration” honoree, celebrating a cancer survivor.

This year’s “In Celebration” honoree will be Pam Downour, a two-time breast cancer survivor, who said she wants to share the recognition with all other survivors.

“Surviving this disease is a feat in itself; I think everybody is deserving,” said Downour, who credits her faith, medical team, strong support system, sense of humor, ability to keep things in perspective and two personal heroes in her mother and stepdaughter — both breast cancer survivors — with helping her beat cancer. “A good positive attitude – that’s what I try to have. Once you have a disease like this, you just have to look at every day as a blessing and celebrate every day.”

Sugg said he and his family are honored by Jenny’s recognition.

“When they called me initially, there were just so many emotions,” Sugg said. “I couldn’t even really process it all at first. She fought so hard and was just a pillar of strength for all of us and to have that recognized was really awesome.”

Mike and Jenny, who met while attending Central Catholic High School, have two children: 8-year-old Jonathan and 4-year-old Samantha.

“To have their mom be recognized is a huge deal for them,” Sugg said. “It will be really awesome for them.”

Jenny was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer in the summer of 2007, when she was 28. The cancer then spread to several other areas, including bones and liver. The diagnosis came a year after her mother, Teresa Brickner, was diagnosed with breast cancer.

After the diagnosis, the Suggs became heavily involved with Komen Northwest Ohio Race for the Cure and other cancer support organizations.

“The coolest thing is seeing thousands and thousands of people Downtown and they’re all supporting this fight,” Sugg said. “To see the amount of support that’s down there and know you are not in this alone, that there are all these people fighting this disease, there are no words to describe. It’s just amazing and inspiring. I remember the first year we did it, when I saw all these people and thought, ‘Wow, all these people are here fighting that fight alongside us.’”

Mike, the kids, and hundreds of their friends and family members will again be participating in this year’s walk Sept. 25.

“We will continue to be at the race and it will be a huge part of our lives forever,” Sugg said. “We’re making the final push to recruit team members. We have about 400 now. The whole family comes down for the race.”

Race registration opens at 7:30 a.m. Sept. 25 near Fifth Third Field in Downtown Toledo. The survivor group photo will be at 8 a.m. followed by the survivor parade at 8:45 a.m. The competitive race will start at 9:30 a.m. followed by the noncompetitive walk at 9:45 a.m. and the fun walk at 10:15 a.m. Race results will be posed at 10:30 a.m. and medals distributed at 10:45 a.m.

New this year will be people’s choice voting at $1 per vote for favorite team T-shirt. Another new event will be a survivor sing-along of country singer and breast cancer survivor Melissa Etheridge’s “I Run for Life” immediately following the survivor parade.

About 75 of money raised annually by the local chapter of Susan G. Komen for the Cure stays in Northwest Ohio and  Southeast Michigan, assisting residents of 24 regional counties access breast cancer education, screening and treatment.

“Thanks to funds raised through the Race for the Cure, the Northwest Ohio Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is proud to return more than $260,534 to Lucas County in 2011-2012,” said Mary Westphal, Executive Director for the Northwest Ohio Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, in a news release.

The remaining income goes to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure Grants Program to fund research.

Jan Ruma, vice president of the Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio and executive director of Toledo-Lucas County CareNet, two of this year’s grant recipients, said Komen funds are stretch existing resources and are essential to allowing local organizations continue to provide needed services.

“Hospitals provide a lot of care to people who are uninsured and this helps to multiply that,” Ruma said. “I think the neat thing is these fund are raised locally and are helping people locally. It’s our community taking care of our community.”

The following grants will support Lucas County in 2011-2012:

• Fulton County Health Department ($85,000)
• Mercy Women’s Care at St. Anne’s and St. Charles ($50,750)
• ProMedica Cancer Institute ($40,000)
• St. Luke’s Hospital ($29,284)
• Toledo-Lucas County CareNet ($37,500)
• The Victory Center ($18,000)

Other area grants include:

• Allen County Health Department ($47,752)
• Blanchard Valley Health System ($28,800)
• Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio ($104,461)
• Mercy Memorial Hospital ($28,000)
• Mercy Tiffin Hospital ($19,686)
• North Coast Cancer Foundation ($20,000)
• Putnam County Health Department ($12,256)
• Wood County Health Department ($13,785)
• Wyandot County General Health District ($13,200)

Ruma said many people who suspect something is wrong don’t seek help because they are uninsured and know they can’t afford a screening, let alone any treatment that might be required.

“Komen funds are able to help take those barriers away and get people the treatment they need,” Ruma said. “We’re very proud of the fact that last year when a study was done, 78 percent of female CareNet members age 40 and over have had mammograms in the past two years, which meets the goal of the National Cancer Institute and exceeds what you find in the insured population.”

While CareNet covers Lucas County residents, the Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio aims to connect people to resources available outside Lucas County, especially those in rural areas with historically high rates of breast cancer and low rates of screening.

Ruma said she knows of a husband and wife, both breast cancer survivors, who were advised to be screened regularly, but could not afford it.

“Because of this program, they have been able to get back into preventative mode and make sure it doesn’t come back,” Ruma said.

While most of the grant recipients focus on prevention, screening and treatment, The Victory Center in Toledo goes a different direction.

“Cancer centers treat the medical portion; we treat the mind, body and spirit — the rest of the person,” Executive Director Dianne Cherry said.

Through its “Discovering Inner Strength” program, The Victory Center provides breast cancer patients and survivors of any age or income level with free services and programs, including massage, reflexology, reiki, healing touch, meditation, facials, yoga and Healthy Steps exercise as well as monthly support groups for survivors and caregivers.

“This grants means a great deal to The Victory Center,” Cherry said. “We provide over 6,000 units of service every year and there are expenses associated with that if we want to continue to provide the services for free. This grant helps us to do that. It’s really critical to us continuing this service that’s really important for breast cancer patients.”

Ruma said the coordination and cooperation between the grant recipients helps to ensure those who need services find a way.

“We really have to work together,” Ruma said. “If you get breast cancer, it affects your whole life. One program can’t do it all. That’s one of the benefits of Komen. It sees the big picture and supports comprehensive services. That’s really the goal – that people with breast cancer get the support they need to get back on their feet.”

Troy Kaufman raps under the stage name Ghetto-T and has dubbed himself the king of Bowling Green hip-hop. He is holding a release party Sept. 23 for his debut album “FKTM” at Howard’s Club H.

“I’ve got many styles,” Kaufman said. “The CD is positive and confident. The whole theme behind it is for the listeners. If they have a dream and people are telling them they can’t achieve it, just keep going and don’t listen to them. With hard work, you can do anything.”

Kaufman lives his message, turning to rap as an outlet after a difficult childhood.

“I have a slogan I say called ‘419 rise up,’” Kaufman said. “I grew up without a dad. Me and my mom, even though we didn’t live in the hood, we were still on welfare and got food stamps. I was raped when I was five. I was beat up at school. The combination of all that stuff makes me want to rise above everything.”

Ghetto-T

Rap became an outlet for Kaufman at a young age.

“I was probably 12 or 13 when I started rapping,” Kaufman said. “I’ve been listening to rap music since I was 5 or 6. I started writing poetry and eventually started trying to record it on old cassette tapes.”

Despite some concerns, Kaufman’s mother never objected to her son’s involvement with rap.

“She’s supportive for the most part,” he said. “At first she was a little scared, because you turn on the news and hear about rappers getting shot, dealing drugs or going to jail. It’s not always like that.”

According to Kaufman, some rappers in Toledo are not as supportive of his career.

“In some instances, we’re segregated between Bowling Green and Toledo because of certain people’s views,” Kaufman said. “Some people from Toledo live that street life and have that mentality. They think if you don’t lead that life then you shouldn’t rap. They clown around on the suburb rappers. Most of the guys I’ve heard around here are keeping it pretty real. Other Toledo artists I’ve talked to are really cool and supportive. There are mixed feelings about us Bowling Green rappers in Toledo.”

Kaufman modeled his style from his five favorite rappers, which are LL Cool J, Master P, DMX, Eminem and Tupac.

“They each bring different things to the table,” Kaufman said. “LL Cool J is smooth with his lyrics whether it’s a love song or a club song. He has real fluid words and delivery. Tupac, DMX and Master P are real guys talking about problems in their life and things they see around them. I’m not a huge fan of rap music that’s about shooting people and selling drugs and all that stuff. They all have the same type of storytelling style. Master P and DMX are both heavily influenced by Tupac. Eminem can rhyme anything. That’s why I look up to him.”

Kaufman respects each of them for being part of the minority of artists whose content is not affected by their record label.

“Labels try to take the originality away from artists,” he said. “Not a lot of labels let them be themselves. A lot of the younger audience just wants to hear club songs. I made a couple club songs to get people to want to listen to my album. When they hear it, they’ll also hear the real songs with a positive message. It’s kind of like a marketing strategy.”

The release party takes place Sept. 23 at 9 p.m. Kaufman will be handing out copies of his album at the show. Howard’s Club H is located at 210 N. Main St. in Bowling Green. Tickets are $3 at the door.

“One thing people notice about my stage show is that I have this energy,” Kaufman said. “When I get on stage, people start to come up from the back of the room and gather around. I go crazy on stage and let all my anger and aggression out. I’m jumping around and running around on and off the stage.”

Toledo has quite a few talented music artists who travel, tour and work with national recording and performance artists. Krystal Monique is one of those artists — she was born and raised in the Glass City and is an amazing live performer of neo-soul/inspirational music.
Growing up, she performed with her sister in church and later studied performing arts in school. Discovering her passion as early as the eighth grade after performing the song “Memories” from the classic Broadway musical “Cats,” Monique received a standing ovation and knew music would be her chosen profession.
Later, Monique would use her connection with gospel music to gain experience in the industry. She started by singing background vocals for the likes of Chris Byrd and True Victory, Michael Brooks  (from the group Commissioned) and other major recording artists. Those experiences led her to writing, producing and doing guest spots on albums, giving her the opportunity to hone her skills. Now, Monique is ready to show the world what she’s made of and after seeing her live performance (and not a note was missed), I am convinced nothing can hold her back. Her sultry voice is solid yet light and inspirational to hear. Image-wise, her beauty matches her sound and in October, Monique will debut a product of her experience and hard work at a listening party.
Her new single, “Trusting You,” is co-written with Devan Reed and is just a teaser of the type of music you can expect on her highly anticipated album, scheduled to be released early next year.
I can tell by her reluctance to divulge some of the big names she has silently guiding her in the right direction that she knows the rules of discretion in the music world.
Because Monique is a seasoned professional finally going solo, I asked questions meant for aspiring artists as well as questions I would normally reserve for major label acts.

Krystal Monique

Martini Rox: What do you feel like your music brings to the table?
Monique: I think that it brings right now a sense of purity, something that makes you feel good, something you can groove to [and a] truthfulness. I like to write and sing about things people can relate to, I’m dedicated to making good music.
Rox: In your journey thus far, what would you have done differently?
Monique: I would have studied the business a bit more. As far as the business side of it opposed to the performing side of it because starting off as an early artist I got burned a few times, but it taught me. Out of that I became a better business woman.
Rox: What other interests do you want to explore through your music?
Monique: I’m going to continue writing, producing and things of that nature. Eventually, I want to begin to mange other people; I want to mentor other artists that are coming up. I’m really just enjoying the moment and getting used to all that’s coming to me and enjoying my blessings.
Monique knows her purpose in her music and it helps drive her ability to deliver to her fans. You can hear her music and receive information about her upcoming listening party at her website, www.krystalmonique.com.
As we continue on …

Yusuf Lateef is known for his deep and textured paintings as well as his positive
attitude and glowing personality. But few know Lateef is a master of paper and charcoal as well.
Bozarts Fine Art and Music Gallery, at 151 S. St. Clair St., is hosting Lateef’s new solo exhibit, his first featuring charcoal drawings.
“This isn’t the first time I’ve worked with charcoal, but this is my first solo exhibit featuring charcoal,” Lateef said. “I approach the charcoal differently than the paintings.”
Recognized for his bright and sometimes abstract paintings, Lateef said charcoal offers different ways to shape and create.
“The paintings allow me to scrape into it and change the depth of the piece,” he said. “The medium dictates what you can and can’t do with a piece. So with the charcoal I use an eraser to take things away.”
Lateef said his batch of charcoal work sprang mostly from accessibility of materials and the season in which the work was created.
“I had time to experiment with charcoal again this winter,” Lateef said. “Really it was for a lack of material but I utilized that and it was very cool because in the winter things are very austere, minimalistic. Days are shorter and it’s colder, not to mention paint doesn’t dry the same way when it’s cold outside.”
Lateef’s charcoals feature different subjects and come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
“Not having the larger paper until later on, I would piece smaller pieces together,” he said.
While this is Lateef’s first exhibit featuring charcoal, the darker pieces are not the only new pieces in the exhibit.
“One of the paintings in this exhibit was a collaboration between me and another artist, Aaron Paula,” Lateef said. “He’s a good friend of mine and we grew up together artistically. The piece is called ‘Indigenous’ and it’s a great example of what can be accomplished when collaborating and working together.”
Lateef spoke of his work in terms of how he approaches it.

“I think of my work as more poetic than literal. It’s not straight to the point,” he said. “I leave things out for people to figure out for themselves. There are deliberate empty spaces in the art.”
Because of Lateef’s approach, he enjoys discussing his work with viewers.
“When I have conversations with people about their favorite pieces it’s a conversation that happens over time, it evolves. The creative process evolves too and it should be valued because you can watch it from the start to its finite end,” he said. ‘When you look at art you can see actual points in human development, you can see flaws and the development of abilities. Visual art is special because we can see and experience the process and it helps us to see where we are as a viewer as well.”
Lateef  focuses on the story that local art tells and the growth of the art community.
“I like to see my art fit into the full context of things, the growth of Toledo’s art voice and language. I want to be part of the growth, I want to be a piece of it,” he said.
Lateef said each show and each piece of art is a sentence in a metaphorical dialogue between the arts and society.
“Each piece of art is a piece of a conversation, like a sentence. Every sentence needs to be complete for each idea to make sense,” he said. “Take this show as a paragraph and
link it to past shows and you will start to get more of an idea about a storyline and language. Being able to go back and look at where you were is just as much a new experience for the artist as it is for the viewer and that’s important.”
Lateef’s solo exhibit is open now through Sept. 23. For information, call (419) 464-5785.

Vince Morris

For comedian Vince Morris, there are few things better than connecting with an audience. In a recent interview, the Columbus native said he fully enjoys what he does for a living.
“It’s the best job in the world when you look at it. I get to communicate ideas and feelings to strangers and have them all laugh at the same time,” Morris said. “It is a unique talent to have and it’s a great skill to possess.”
Morris describes himself as an “up-and-coming veteran.” When he first began performing stand-up in Columbus, he said he was instantly addicted.
“I got hooked on open mic nights,” he said. “Over time, I gained enough experience and courage to start emceeing shows and soon after that I began touring the country as a host.”
While Morris has been on TV and toured the country for “a long-ass time,” he feels comfortable where he is.
“Laughs are my long-term career goal. I’ve already achieved a lot and I’ve performed all over the world,” Morris said. “I want to earn more fans so I can keep doing what I’m doing.”
Morris spoke of his influences as a writer and comedian, saying his material is centered around his own thoughts.
“When I write, I think about things that move me, I focus on my own thought process. Sometimes those thoughts are the hardest thing to write to, but they are the things that people most closely associate with,” he said. “People generally have the same kind of thoughts or feelings about certain things.
“I’m just a fan of comedy in general. I’m like a lot of comedians but not one particular person. I really just enjoy people who look at comedy as an art form and approach from that perspective.”
Morris said his shows are tailored sets.
“I can go off the cuff with the best of them. However, you have to be in control at all times. I like to mix things up, but my routine is best described as an improvised set,” he said.
Morris said he is looking forward to his Toledo dates because of the crowds.
“Toledo is one of my favorite cities to play,” he said. “The crowds are great and the Funny Bone is a great room. The food is good, the staff is great and the energy is amazing. Every place has its own feel and Toledo just feels great.”
Morris will perform at the Funny Bone at Fat Fish Blue from Sept. 28 through Oct. 2. Visit toledofunnybone.com for times and ticket information.

Once you get past the 1940s-era name, Mister Terrific may impress you as being, well, a terrific comic book character. That’s what DC Comics is hoping and, presumably, that’s why he was added to its all-new lineup of titles. Many fans considered Mister Terrific No. 1 a head-scratcher when it was solicited several months ago; Ed Katschke of Monarch Cards & Comics explains why the lesser-known hero drew him in to follow his adventures.
“This one honestly surprised me,” he said. “I’m not sure what I was expecting of a solo title featuring a relatively minor character who’s mostly been showcased in team books, but Mister Terrific No. 1 was not it. I was more curious than interested — how was DC going to do justice to a character who was so tied to Justice Society continuity when the team has apparently been wiped from DC’s history? Writer Eric Wallace does it by tearing the character down to his foundations, keeping the heart of what made him interesting to begin with, and then building a new voice upon the framework. Michael Holt is the ‘third-smartest man in the world’ and knows it, using his intelligence like a superpower to fight for justice, as well as manage his life as a successful industrialist.”
There is another aspect to Mister Terrific beyond his intelligence that Katschke believes “adds yet another layer of interest to his character” — Michael’s race.
“A lot of talk has been made lately about the diversification of comics and the movement to provide a wider spectrum of races and philosophies,” he said. “Most of the talk I’ve been privy to has expressed concerns over the perception that these changes are somewhat forced by political necessity rather than good storytelling.
“In the case of Mister Terrific, however, the character’s race and social background are essential to understanding where he is coming from and his motivations to where he is going. Wallace does a great job of finding Holt’s voice and when the issue of race comes up in the course of the story, it is handled in a way that is both contemporary and entertaining.”

Heywood Banks

When Heywood Banks — the alter ego of comedian/songwriter Stuart Mitchell — takes the stage, he looks not unlike a visitor from another planet who isn’t quite sure how fashion works.
Guitar slung over his shoulder, Banks usually can be found wearing the loudest of loud sportcoats, a tie that clashes, thickly rimmed spectacles and a long-haired combover which even Dr. Emmett Brown would find excessive. It’s a look, Banks said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star, that has evolved over time.
“When I first started, I always wore safety glasses,” Heywood said, noting how odd they looked astride his “giant nose.” “And I always parted my hair on the side, because I always thought the combover was a funny look, too. Especially if you didn’t need the combover, you just liked the look of the combover.
“Now, I’ve kinda morphed into Gandalf or something, I dunno.”
One thing that’s remained consistent, however, is the level of Banks’ comedy. The self-described (with tongue firmly in cheek) “comedian, musician, songwriter, cultural icon” has been keeping fans rolling in the aisles for years, including during numerous stops in Toledo. He returns to the Glass City on Sept. 24 for a show at the Collingwood Arts Center at 8 p.m.
“Toledo’s always been great — great crowds. I’ve always had a lot of fun playing in Toledo for years, back when I played the Ohio Theatre, or at the Funny Bone, or Connxtions Comedy Club, it’s always been a great crowd,” Heywood said.
Of course, it isn’t really “Heywood” who has all these fond memories of Toledo — it’s “Stuart,” right? Or is it? Banks himself said it can be hard to define the difference between the two.
“It’s actually pretty blurred,” Banks said. “Everything I do, every comedic business thing, is always as the ‘Heywood Banks’ name. I’ll call a club and say, ‘Hey, is so-and-so there?’ And they’ll say no. I’ll tell them my name, and they’ll go, ‘Oh, no, he’s not here.’ And I’ll say, ‘OK, tell them that Heywood called.’ And they’ll go, ‘Oh, just a minute!’”
He said the inspiration for the character rose from the simple need to stand out onstage. “Basically, there were a lot of comics around, you just have to do something different. I was doing weird jokes, and people didn’t really buy it as much until I became a character. And then people were like, ‘Yeah, I can see that happening. I can see your mom with a plastic dog collar around her neck, or a dog bone. You know, these kinda things probably could happen,’” Banks said.
At least, they could happen in the world that Heywood occupies. His off-kilter sense of humor runs solidly through all of his work, including such memorable tunes as “Toast,” his tribute to the food played by pounding on a toaster with forks; “18 Wheels (on a Big Rig),” an odd tribute to truckin’ songs which obsessively counts the number of wheels; and, of course, his self-explanatory ode, “Trauma to the Groin.”
Asked what the advantages and drawbacks are to being a musical comic, Banks said, “I don’t think there are really any drawbacks, as long as the songs are funny, that’s the main thing.
“The good thing about it, if you have the songs, and people know the songs — like, a joke, if you hear it two or three times, it becomes information. But a song, you can hear the same joke over and over again, and it’s still a song. So it’s a lot different deal.”
One song Ohioans have a special pull toward is “Big Butter Jesus,” a musical send-up of a famous statue of Christ near Monroe, Ohio. The song has remained a staple of Banks’ act since he first encountered the gigantic likeness a few years ago — even now, after a 2010 lightning strike caused it to burn down.
“The first time I drove by, I saw the thing, I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, what is that?’ And I was onstage that night and I said to the crowd, ‘Man, what is that big Jesus statue?’ And everybody laughed,” Banks said. “So I said, ‘It looks like it was one of those carved-out-of-butter statues,’ and they all laughed. And so I just sang, ‘Big Butter Jesus,’ and everybody applauded. And I was like, ‘Oh, I think I have a song here!’”
In the end, Banks said his goals on stage are simple. “It’s fun to make people laugh. And it’s fun to make — I’m not especially making them laugh from a shock or something, I’m making ‘em laugh because I’m having fun, that’s the main thing. I just like to have fun with a crowd, and a lot of people need some fun.”
Tickets for the Sept. 24 Heywood Banks show cost $22. The Collingwood Arts Center is located at 2413 Collingwood Blvd.
