Toledo 'Carpenters' ring in release of 'Short n' Sweet'
Local fans of singer-songwriter and pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter, or “Carpenters,” would “Please Please Please” like her latest album to be less Short n’ Sweet. Culture Clash Records, located at 912 Monroe St. in downtown Toledo, hosted a listening party Thursday for the new Sabrina Carpenter album, Short n’ Sweet, which lives up to its name at 36 minutes in length. The event was complete with free Short n’ Sweet-branded journals, temporary tattoos, a contest for a special edition CD, and a video introduction from Carpenter herself. The event was reminiscent of Carpenter’s sudden rise in popularity after making music for more than 10 years, filled with new fans and yearslong stans. Carpenter released her first single, “Can’t Blame a Girl for Trying,” in March, 2014, but many were unaware of her music until recently. An employee running the event even mistakenly referred to her last album, emails i can’t send, as her first (the 2022 record was her fifth studio album).
Toledo man honored posthumously as one of 1st Black Marines
Kyle Baker never imagined he’d one day visit Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. But he did go there — to accept a Congressional Gold Medal for his late father, Jack Baker, a Montford Point Marine from Toledo. Thirty Montford Point Marines — the nation’s first Black Marines — were presented with a replica of a Congressional Gold Medal at Lejeune Memorial Gardens on Friday. According to Mr. Baker, nine surviving members of the Montford Marines were in attendance. “A lot of people never heard of the Montford Marines,” Kyle Baker, of Toledo, said. “Those Marines were neglected. They tried to get them to quit. The Marine Corps did not record all of what the platoon did in war, so not many of them or their families know about the award.”

BCAN to premiere new health and wellness show
The host of a new show on Buckeye Community Arts Network wants Toledo to start thinking about the idea of wellness in all aspects of life. “When people think wellness, they’re like, ‘Oh, like yoga ... sitting around, meditating, thinking about the goodness that is life,’ which is amazing and is totally what the show is about, but we also went to look at all-encompassing wellness and really ask the burning question of ‘How is our community actively, living, breathing, and being well and how are they promoting wellness for others?’” said Toi Creel, a producer and host for BCAN. Ms. Creel and the network are looking to answer that question in its newest TV show, Be Well, which will see her discuss wellness in a holistic sense with each episode — topics like environmental wellness, mental wellness, physical wellness, financial wellness, and community wellness. The show’s first episode, airs Sunday at 8 p.m. on the Health Network, will feature interviews from residents who specialize in different aspects of health. They included Matt Killam, chief outreach officer for Metroparks Toledo, and Isabella Weik, president and chief executive officer of the Toledo Mindfulness Institute.
