Just plein cool: Sylvania Plein Air Festival celebrates spur-of-the-moment art
Sylvania will soon be awash with painting as the second annual Sylvania Plein Air Festival begins Sunday and runs through the following week. The purpose of plein air, which translates from French as “painting outdoors” is to capture the majesty of the great outdoors on location. No painting in an artist studio, it’s about getting outside and painting what you see in front of you. The lighting of the sky, the position of the sun, everything. It’s about capturing one glorious moment in the medium of paint and brush. Katie Cappellini, executive director of Red Bird Sylvania, which is hosting the festival, said that response to the event from artists all over North America has been huge. “Plein air is making a huge comeback nationally and somehow we tapped into that movement and we have artists coming from all over the country and Canada to paint Sylvania, it was limited to 125 and that filled up in April.”

Ohio’s sales tax holiday expands to 10 days and includes more items
Families looking to save money as they head back to school will want to plan their shopping during the state’s annual sales tax holiday — this year expanded to 10 days and including more items than ever before. Gov. Mike DeWine announced the 2024 expanded sales tax holiday will take place from 12 a.m. Tuesday through 11:59 p.m. Aug. 8.

Previous sales tax holidays ran three days, included only school-related items, and offered much lower purchase price limits of $75 maximum on an item of clothing, and $20 per item of instructional material and school supplies.
A decade after water crisis, progress for Lake Erie remains sluggish
Ten years ago this Friday, Toledo-area residents woke up to an algae-driven water crisis that brought unwanted attention from other parts of the world and inflicted a scar on the city’s reputation. Panic set in during the wee hours of the morning of Aug. 2, 2014, when the city, under orders from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, posted on Facebook at 2 a.m. that an algal poison from Lake Erie, called microcystin, had made Toledo’s tap water unsafe to drink and even unsafe to touch until further notice. Though the order lasted fewer than three days, it felt like an eternity to many people and underscored how much humans rely on safe water during their everyday lives. “It was kind of a chaotic mess,” Andy McClure, Toledo’s Collins Park Water Treatment Plant commissioner of plant operations, recalled.
