Our ongoing look at NW Ohio’s most abundant resource.

Lake Erie’s political waters  Algae blooms were less prevalent on Lake Erie this year, following 2015’s bloom, the largest on record. In 2014, algae blooms affected the tapwater of the Lake Erie West region for two days. The reduced rainfall and decreased moisture in the climate is responsible for this year’s reduction, as less sewage plant waste and phosphorus runoff from farms ended up in waterways. The only recent year that saw an even more decreased level of algae blooms occurred in 2012.

 Mike Ferner, a local activist, sharply disagreed, stating that while commercial fertilizer is responsible for more phosphorus than manure if applied correctly, manure isn’t being applied correctly, resulting in our current dilemma. Manure is much cheaper than commercial fertilizer, more abundant and quite simply, a bigger waste product to be disbursed, rendering it more abundantly applied and with “13 million animals in the 147 Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) in the area, manure is a major issue right now that, with all due respect to the Lt. Governor, cannot be ignored.”  LEEDCO, the Lake Erie Energy Development Commission, has proposed an offshore wind farm with claims that it will be minimally invasive to wildlife and the lake. The wind farm, part of the development project named Icebreaker, plans to position six to ten turbines offshore, capable of generating 21 megawatts of electricity. An environmental consultant employed by LEEDCO stated that “It’s the lowest-risk project I’ve ever worked on.”

Time for Reflection Lessons for City Politics

By Johnny Hildo

If you

can’t say

nuthin’ nice, don’t say

nuthin’ at all.

Co-owners Adam Slough and Mark Armstrong show off the goods.

King of the mountain

-Thumper

Perhaps the way the publishing schedule for this fair rag has the Gods of City Politics frowning, or more likely they are laughing, as we go to press mere hours before the results of the fateful day, that we have waited for, some patiently, and some not so patiently for months, or in some cases years. Nevermind, we will not be able to comment on the ‘lection results of ‘16 until next issue. So what is an observer to do? Well, observe, of course.

Rarely do we get a chance to sit back and muse on the process without knowing the outcome. But here we can look at just what have we learned over this campaign season. What lessons are there to collect and, most confounding, where do we go from here.

Kumbaya with the counting

Seems that each cycle of the common voter being influenced by the candidates to determine who is the best, the brightest, and who will advance the cause of the greater good better’n the others, gets more tawdry every day. The national campaigns, begun more than two years ago, have been a textbook on disrespect and anti-civility. Statewide contests have not been much better. But when we talk about local politics, City Politics as we say, there are lessons to be learned.

Newcomers with new ideas and new approaches to age-old problems were few and far between. Where are the young and up and coming? Will the retreads just continue the march to mediocrity that has been a hallmark of our fair Swampville. Does it take a rockstar persona, ala W or Barry O., to be the perfect candidate that all can gather ‘round? Seems like it.

Gearing up for winter sports at Mountain Man

By Jeff Klima

But we can learn a valuable lesson from this election cycle.

We need to look at similarities, instead of dwelling on our differences. We need to pull together to make this a better community and a better place for ALL of us, no matter our gender, color, ethnicity or, for that matter, political party.

Some of us here in Froggy Bottom can recall when the upcoming Border Battle, the annual UM/OSU rivalry was fun and the competition was about a game. We can recall when a candidate we supported was defeated and then lent their support to the victorious opponent to move the entire lot of us forward, without cries of retribution and nasty remarks.

Unification and Healing

Let’s look at how each of us, down to the last elector, can set aside our differences and begin to foster understanding to advance the cause for all of us. If Mother Earth is getting smaller, T-Town is a mere tiny berg. But the flapping of a butterfly’s wings... can carry winds of change long and far, or so it is said.

Each of us can do a little, which could add up to a lot, to be more understanding, more compassionate, more respectful of the feelings and needs of our fellow T-Town dwellers.

Frankly speaking, it is the only way this can work. The constant spiral of talking down to those that don’t think exactly as we do is, well, getting old. And not getting any of us very far.

It is time for healing and not judging.

As Thumper Rabbit told Bambi ( and hunting season is upon us), ‘If you don’t have nothing nice to say, don’t say nothing at all.’

A ski equipment supply company in mountainless Toledo may seem like a difficult business model, but as Mountain Man Sports celebrates 40 years in the outdoor adventure game, it’s clear that they have reached the summit.

While many of us hope for a light winter, co-owners Mark Armstrong and Adam Slough are praying for powder.

With a focus on skiing in all its forms, winter is one of the busiest seasons for the adventure sports shop.

“Over the last couple years, with all the snow we’ve had, we pretty much sold out of everything,” Armstrong says, “especially snowshoeing and cross-country skiing gear.”

Knowledge is golden

It isn’t just the inventory that makes Mountain Man Sports succeed though, any REI or Cabela’s can help with that.

It’s the knowledge, passion and connection to the outdoors that has made the standalone store a Toledo destination since 1976. Within seconds of talking to customer service tech Richard Allesee, who has been with the Mountain Man team for eight seasons, you understand that customer care is a premium commodity for the business.

“We’re all riders here. We’re all skiers here,” Allesee maintains. “When we talk to a person, the idea is not to sell them anything specific; we’re going to fit that person’s needs. No more, no less.

We’re very experienced boot fitters and we take the time to make sure that folks don’t overbuy or overspend. We expect the equipment to last 10, 12 seasons.

Boots that are expected to fit properly so when you drop $150 for a lift ticket, you’re not done in two hours because your feet hurt. We want you out there all day long.

“Every one of those skis (that we sell), I’ve been on,” Allesee adds, emphatically. “I’ve tested every one so I know what they do. And when I talk to (customers), it’s basically putting a puzzle together for me, so they’re on the right ski.”

October 19 • November 8

Family matters

If salespeople with a passion for getting you exactly the right equipment isn’t enough of an incentive to give Mountain Man a chance, consider the fun and familial atmosphere ingrained in the business.

“Mountain Man is a family. My daughter worked here when she was in high school, I’ve worked here for years,” Armstrong notes. “My partner Adam Slough has been here for 16, 17 years.

Dick (Richard) has been here for years and the same families continue to come here, I think, because of our family here at Mountain Man.” Armstrong and Slough purchased the business from Jim and Carol Wenberg last year when the founders decided to retire, but there are no plans to alter the store’s philosophy or its name— despite that “lack of mountains” thing.

“Jim coined the name of the business 40 years ago and I didn’t see any reason to change that,” Armstrong says. “Many generations of families have grown up with Mountain Man and we want to continue that here in Toledo. It made sense to keep the name the same.”

Winter is coming

Winter hasn’t hit yet, but that’s exactly the reason you should be stocking up on your skiing gear now. The 2017 stock is already in and as Allesee points out, “A golfer buys his driver in March, when he’s still got a ways to go. A bicyclist buys his bikes in the fall because the new ones are coming out. We’re in the business of fun.”

Essentially, Allesee points to the fable about the ants and the grasshopper.

Stock up now because winter is coming faster than you realize and you don’t want to be the frozen grasshopper, stuck in last year’s ill-fitting equipment while everyone else is having a good time.

Oh, and when you get there, be sure to say hi to shop mascot, Luna, a 3-yearold golden retriever. With all the specialized knowledge in the store, she’s sure to know a thing or two about where to find some mountains.

10am-6pm, Monday- Saturday.

Drink like a man

Toledo Spirits appreciates whiskey

By Athena Cocoves

Hot towel goodness: where to get an executive shave in Toledo

It seems like every barbershop claims to be the only “real” barbershop in town— the only one that offers that classic hot towel shave that leaves your face feeling smoother than a Latin tango. The Glass City has no shortage of options when it comes to making your best look a little better (or at least less scraggly). Here are six of our favorites.

Golden Razor

3205 W Central Ave, Toledo, OH 43606 419-535-3061 Pro tip: With over 30 awards for shaving and hairstyling, owner David Friess might be the most decorated cutter on this list.

La Moda

1467 Secor Rd, Toledo, OH 43615 419-578-6632 Pro tip: If you’ve got facial hair, splurge for some beard oil. You’ll smell amazing.

Barber Lounge (V Concept) 5630 Main St., Sylvania 419-517-0508

Pro tip: Definitely exfoliate a couple times a week to keep your face conditioned properly and then make sure you get a professional shave once a month at least.

Tal-Mon Pro Cuts

5201 Monroe St., 419-885-3712 Pro tip: A good shave takes as long as a haircut— set some time aside to do this right.

Steve’s Sport-N-Cuts

4925 Dorr St., 419-537-1117 Pro tip: Make sure to look for the barber having a warmer box that will keep the towels hot (but not too hot). Oftentimes, without one, the towel won’t be hot enough to stimulate the hair follicle for proper shaving.

Roosters Men’s Grooming Center 5300 Monroe St., 419-843-4030

Pro tip: Use their online booking feature to make scheduling your favorite barber easy.

There are drinkers, and then there are whiskey drinkers.

Sure, whiskey drinkers can drink anything— they aren’t fussy— but it’s their ability to savor the sip of what makes their prosecco-ordering partners scowl that provides whiskey drinkers with that old fashioned charm.

Want to know the trick to enjoying whiskey— and elevating your drinking to the ranks of famous mysterious, cool-guy drinkers like Mark Twain, James Joyce and George Bernard Shaw? We asked Dustin Wade, Vice President of Sales at Toledo Spirits a barrel-full of complicated questions about balanced pairings, flavor profiles, finding the right bottle, and even swishing the liquid around your mouth to reach every single taste bud on your tongue…

While Wade loves the chemistry of booze, and Toledo Spirits rely on it to distill their small batch labels, he doesn’t suggest overthinking the drinking. His advice was as short, strong and bold as the perfect pour: “You just drink it. You put it in your belly. Whiskey doesn’t help you when it’s in your glass.”

playing around and the first thing that we stumbled onto was the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot… which we have dubbed as our experimental whiskey.”

Like a whiskey drinker, no bottle of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is the same.

The small-batch, hop-flavored whiskey is distilled in partnership with regional and local microbreweries, and Toledo Spirits mixes up the formula for every run. Bottles range in color. Some are dark, made with a heavy beer and aged for years in a barrel, while others are light.

Wade points to a crystalline, pale whiskey with a pleasant, soft taste: “This was actually in the barrel for about five minutes,” he says, laughing. “It has to rest on oak in order to be called legally whiskey, so we put it in a barrel, let it sat there and said ‘yeah okay, that’s about right,’ and then we dumped it out.”

In addition to whiskey, Toledo Spirits also sells Maumee Moonshine, Orange Tiger liquor and Heart of Glass strawberry vodka.

To taste the full spectrum of Toledo Spirits’ Whiskey Tango Foxtrot flavors, purchase to sip at their warehouse location in downtown Toledo from 10am-2pm on Saturday, or by appointment.

Toledo Spirits, 1301 N. Summit St., 419-243-7445. toledospirits.com

Spirited Origins

Wade co-founded Toledo Spirits with his friends and partners, Andrew Newby and Lucas ????, in 2013. Wade’s partners attended a distilling course at Michigan State University and the crew began round one.

“It was lot of trial and error,” explains Wade. “This was just kinda something that we decided to get into because of the love of whiskey and our love for Toledo. We started November 9 • November 22

Dr. Abdel El Tal, of Dermatology Associates & ADA Aesthetics is a board-certified dermatologist with specialized training in Mohs surgery (skin cancer surgery) cutaneous laser and aesthetic dermatology. Because of his expertise in both dermatological surgery & aesthetic dermatology, he is quickly becoming Northwest Ohio’s go-to doctor for men seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation and anti-aging treatments.

Dr. Abdel El Tal

12780 Roachton Rd. Perrysburg, Ohio 419.873.6961

The number of male patients undergoing non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX, dermal fillers and advanced clinical skincare is on the rise. Dr. El Tal’s expert knowledge of gender specific facial anatomy allows him to provide his patients with the natural and convenient results they’re looking for.

Dermatology Associates offers a wide range of non-surgical cosmetic treatments, such as BOTOX, dermal fillers, Voluma or Juvederm (for volume loss & deep wrinkles) and Kybella (a safe & permanent solution to reduce the appearance of double chins). Dr. El Tal encourages his patients to protect their investment by adopting a pro-active regimen of regularly scheduled in-office treatments of light chemical peels and clinical grade skincare products. Patients with severe sun damage or acne scarring may require more aggressive treatments, such as TCA Peels or our Core CO2 laser. Dr. El Tal recommends using an evening skincare ritual of glycolic exfoliating wash and retinol cream to improve the tone, texture & pore size. With melanoma on the rise among younger patients, he counsels his patients, both male & female, to minimize sun exposure by applying sunscreen regularly and wearing protective clothing. For a limited time ADA Aesthetics is offering complimentary cosmetic treatment consultations to men seeking non-surgical solutions for facial rejuvenation.

hen you’re talking fashion, it makes sense to start at the ground floor— literally. Shoes make the man and if you’re going to be a fashionable man, you might as well be comfortable. Sneakerheads covet the latest designs in the most comfortable footwear: sneakers.

Athletic kicks, low tops, high tops are all treated like fine art by those willing to pay high prices and wait in long lines when the hot new brands drop. So, where do you find the most fashionable sneakers in Toledo? We’re glad you asked.

2903 Dorr St. 419-214-0475. threadz419.com Talked to: Kai (social media/creative director)

Most popular sneaker right now: A lot of

people like low tops. Runners are a big movement right now. Basketball shoes, the Jordans were going very big, but those have kind of died down. Asics, Saucony, things like that (are hot right now).

Most expensive in the shop: Right now we

have the Asics Tartufo Pack.It’s a special release inspired by black and white truffles. It’s a two-pack right now going for $130 apiece.

How do you become a sneakerhead?

The passion of enjoying sneakers and what they’re about takes inspiration, whether that’s in sports, fashion, the arts, anything… and applying that to what you like.

What shoes are you wearing right now?

Flip flops. Always flip flops. Even in the rain.

Glass City Kicks Online store glasscitykicks.com Talked to: Nick (owner)

Most popular sneakers right now:

As of late it has been the Adidas Boost series with Yeezy 350, 350 V2, 750, NMD, NMD XR1 and Ultra Boost. The Jordan brand still sells strong, but they have become shelf sitters with the frequency of new lines and the rising cost of releases.

Most expensive shoes you sell:

Currently, we are focusing on selling our Drop Front Cases but we have sold multiple pairs of Eminem x Carhartt x Air Jordan 4. The highest priced pair sold for $16,000 to a private collector.

How do you become a sneaker head? I’ve always been a collector of

Some shoes are worth more than cars to sneakerheads.

How many shoes should a sneakerhead own? I think one. I don’t think it’s a matter of how

sorts and with shoes. I was always given the opportunity to choose where we went, but that also determined how many pairs I could get. If I went to Famous Footwear or the like, then I could always get multiple pairs. Or we could go to Champs/Foot Locker and only get one pair. So of course as a kid you want to get more. Fast forward a little to working at LIDS in college and that sparked up my collecting in shoes thanks to a 40% off discount at Journeys. I already had a few Jordans in the collection but nothing too crazy. Jump to me graduating and working a full-time career, I am able to buy whatever kicks I want and it all started again with the Fila x TMNT collaboration which lead me to Twitter. Few hundred pairs of kicks and cases later, here we are!

What shoes are you wearing right now?

How many shoes should a sneakerhead own? As many or as few as one wants. It’s all about the knowledge and love for the community for me. I’ve had well over 300 in my personal collection at one time but that has since been cut drastically and I find that I am far happier with the collection as it dwindles down.

many shoes you have, it’s a matter of how much you love the shoes. In my opinion, that’s a true sneakerhead: they buy a shoe because they like it, not because everyone else wants it.

Right now I am wearing a pair of Asics Gel-Lyte III MPs. It’s like a sneaker and a boot in one.

What shoes are you wearing right now? Adidas x Yeezy 350v2.

Reading: Damon John’s new book, The Power of Broke.

Listening: I’m a classic

rock guy, that’s my background. But I appreciate newer music as well, and I actually like jazz.

Watching: I don’t watch a lot of television.

Cheering: Personally,

I love to play tennis and watch professional tennis as well. But across the board, I’m a Detroit guy. Lions, Tigers.

Following: Not at all.

I’m not into it.

Eating: If you can’t grill

it, don’t buy it. I love all the ethnic cuisines we have in town though— Lebanese, Beirut… we’ve got a lot of good food here in town.

Michael Smith What does style mean to you?

I think style is about personality. In my clothing business, I say fashion’s a personal interpretation. I don’t judge in that way. Sometimes I might appreciate what I see, sometimes I might not appreciate what I see. For me, it’s about being comfortable and being yourself.

What age did you become style conscious? I started selling clothing to put myself through college. At that point I definitely did because being in that field you had to look good.

What’s a style tip you have for today’s men? It never hurts to be

dressed well. You only have one chance to make a first impression. Today the tie is not as much a part of business attire. A jacket goes a long way to looking professional though.

What’s a popular style right now? The style today (is to cut suits)

trimmer. It doesn’t work for everybody.

A lot more color in men’s clothing.

How varied is your color palette? Mine’s pretty varied— I have a

tendency to like the primary colors. Blue is my favorite color.

Job Title: Entrepreneur— men’s custom clothier, home decor (Consign-it! Home Interiors), commercial real estate agent

diculous, but it doesn’t make it to the mainstream. I think, overall, we’re in a classic time in clothing and I think it works.

What’s your favorite fashion accessory? Since I like to

wear jackets, I love to wear a pocket square. It even kind of takes the place and personality and color of a tie. It’s a nice finishing touch.

How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

Not very long. I typically don’t think about it a lot. It depends on my day.

Today I had a business meeting, so this is a little bit more dressed up for me. Last week I had to wear a tie.

Do you have a style influence? No, I do my own thing.

Where do you shop locally for fashion?

That really varies. I can go to an American Eagle and find a flannel shirt I love. I can go to Dillard’s for one of the nice brands they carry, maybe a nice cashmere sweater. I actually like buying t-shirts at J.C. Penny.

What’s a terrible men’s fashion?

I think we’re in kind of a classic era. I don’t think it’s too bad out there. I see stuff that hits the runway that looks riwww.toledocitypaper.com

What’s the most important tip to looking good?

I buy clothing that fits! Skinny jeans look ridiculous on anyone over the age of 30. If you’re trying to channel that scene look at 35 it’s time to reevaluate your life.

Buy some slim cut flattering pieces that make that ass pop and don’t be afraid of spending a little $$$ on the essentials. Make sure your shorts are always cut well above the knee and never fear denim on denim. Layer like you live in the Midwest. We all know that it can be 40 degrees on the way to work and 70 by the time your lunch break rolls around. Feel free to peel off the layers as the day progresses and you’ll look good while doing it.

What’s your favorite fashion accessory? Hmm.

Right now I’m really into American made work boots/hiking boots. I love my gold timex indiglo digital watch. Great conversation starter that cost me less than $30.00.

What’s a terrible men’s fashion? Embellished tops and

bottoms. Rhinestones on anything, loud, contrast stitching. Gaudy cheap looking but expensive ed hardy shirts. Too much branding is obnoxious. Graphic tees rarely work. Expensive sweatpants are absolutely ridiculous but I do own two pair. Ooops.

This is what a $35,000 watch looks like.

Toledo’s crown jewel the most expensive men’s watch in the Glass City The most expensive men’s watch in Toledo costs more than most cars. And while you can’t drive it to work, it can make you feel like a million bucks. Or really, $35,000, which is what it costs to get this 18k gold Rolex on your wrist.

Found at David Fairclough Fine Jewelers (7141 W Central Ave.), the secret of its value comes from the precision and care that goes into making this luxury accessory. According to Fairclough, whose shop is the only one authorized to sell and maintain Rolex in Toledo, it takes an average of 15 months to make each watch from start to finish.

Additionally, they manufacture every aspect of the watch themselves, including alloying their own gold. In short, everything about the watch and the company that makes it is the very best that a man can buy.

Shinola watches are helping Detroit tick You’ll have no problem differentiating Shinola these days— the brand now refers to one of the hottest watch manufacturers around. That it happens to be located in Detroit is just icing on the cake. Shinola, the name is an homage to the shoe polish company that went under in 1960, is now a manufacturer of watches, leather goods and bicycles. In 2011, they established a Detroit factory to help rejuvenate the local economy. So when you buy their watches ($450-$2500) or other upscale goods, you’re looking fashionable and doing a solid turn for Detroit. That’s win-win, playa.

You can get your Shinola watches locally at Harold Jaffe Jewelers, 4211 Talmadge Rd., 419-472-4480. haroldjaffe.com

Shinola watches are bringing timely style to Detroit.

Fashionable faces: La Moda is making heads look fresh

ne of the most stylish clubs on the planet happens to be right here in Toledo. And it isn’t even an actual nightclub: it’s a barbershop. By default, that makes La Moda a cool place. With red Ferrari-leather barber chairs, a pool table, gratis drinks and fruit, a massage chair, putting green, chess and a giant dog named King Louie lounging in the midst of it all, it’s safe to say this isn’t like any barbershop you’ve ever been to. It’s destination haircutting— the sort of fusion of old world and new world styles that is cultivating some of the most wellgroomed men in town. You can spend hours in the shop, whose name translates to “The Style.” Naturally, in the same way that club Studio 54 had an impresario in Steve Rubell, La Moda is presided over by owner and master barber, a dapper professional bearing the slick moniker Pro Moe.

By Jeff Klima

Self-made man

Pro Moe is giving University of Toledo students a home away from home with his ultra-hip barbershop.

Hailing from Beirut City, Pro Moe learned his trade from his grandfather, who ran a barbershop in Lebanon. “It was wonderful, carrying his talents and his soul,” Moe says, proudly. “When I came here for a visit, I decided to return to the country, especially Toledo, where my mom’s family is from. I came back here in my early twenties to open up a barbershop and keep that culture going.” Moe opened trendy La Moda in 2011 after earning his street cred going door to door around Toledo with a brown equipment case, giving haircuts to the locals. Pro Moe didn’t tell me that, another shop owner I interviewed for a different assignment complimented me on my haircut and offered that bit of insight.

A touch of home

In addition to making T-Town a more stylish city, Pro Moe is also working his skills to provide a bit of comfort to the area’s many transfer students. “I decided to build La Moda across from the University of Toledo because students come from all over the country as well as a lot of internationals, and I wanted them to have a barbershop close by where they can feel like they’re home,” said Moe. “Everyone who comes in here, we treat them like family.”

One-of-a-kind

“We’re big on social media— Yelp, Google, Facebook, Instagram. Word of mouth spreads quickly. And everyone who leaves here, they’re a walking advertisement. That’s how nice they look,” said Pro Moe, who graciously insisted that I succumb to his clippers for the “Deluxe”— a haircut, straight razor shave and nostril waxing. Moe is a man of his word; I’ve never been more admired by strangers than I was after leaving his shop. I might just have to become a regular. I asked if he planned on furthering the La Moda brand. He shrugged, “I wish I could expand and have more stores, but there’s only one Moe.” True story.

You can visit Pro Moe yourself at 1467 Secor Rd. Check out his website at LaModaStyle.com or call him at 419-5786632 to set an appointment and get yourself styled right.

We love sushi, but we aren’t always sure if we are eating it right. How much wasabi is too much? Do we seriously just stuff our mouth with the biggest bite we can handle? What’s that ginger for?

Since Kyoto Ka just won the Best Lunch Special in the Toledo City Paper’s 2016 Dining Guide and will celebrate nine years of successful business on November 1, we think they know a thing or two about the art of this trendy meal.

To make sure we’re rolling with the pros, we asked Chef Joe, owner of Kyoto Ka, the best ways to enjoy sushi.

TCP: What’s the biggest rookie mistake sushi eaters can make?

Chef Joe: Eating ginger with sushi— not after the sushi.

Is there a certain order for consuming sushi?

I recommend starting with the mild tasting fish and working your way up to the stronger tasting fish.

What’s the proper etiquette for dipping sauce for rolls? Is dipping OK or do rolls not need sauce?

Use a light amount of soy sauce with your roll or sushi so you can taste the fish. Some rolls come with a certain type of sauce on them (such as mayo base or oil base), so it is best not to add soy sauce with those rolls.

Is it rude to roll your chopsticks together?

In low quality establishments rolling chopsticks might be commonplace because they offer poor quality, disposable chopsticks.

What’s up with all the ginger?

Ginger is meant to be eaten after each piece of sushi as a palate cleanser, and clear out the flavor from that piece of sushi and prepare you for the full flavor of the next piece.

www.toledocitypaper.com

Sometimes I load up my bites with wasabi because I love the spice. Is that the wrong way to eat sushi?

Traditionally, sushi contains enough wasabi with the fish and rice so it isn’t really needed. Rolls normally don’t have wasabi added to it, so it is really personal preference.

Can you use your fingers to eat sushi, or is that a big no-no?

Nigiri (sushi) is meant to be picked up with your fingers and dipped into soy sauce. Make sure you dip the fish part into the soy sauce, not the rice.

What’s the difference between sashimi and sushi?

Sashimi is one of many types of sushi.

Sashimi is a slice of fish without rice, whereas sushi is sliced fish on top of rice. Maki (roll) is basically a combination of rice, nori (dried seaweed) and fish.

If someone hates seafood but wants to hang out with their friends eating sushi, do they have options or should they just stay home?

Sushi can be made with vegetables or meat like sliced seared steak. Seafood is a major part of sushi, but it isn’t the only option.

What’s your best tip for sushi eaters in Toledo?

Don’t hesitate to ask chefs at sushi bars any questions. Most sushi chefs will give you an answer to the best of their knowledge. A couple tips I can give people is don’t use too much soy sauce, dip nigiri (sushi) fish end first and not the rice, ginger is meant to be eaten after each sushi piece to clean your palate, and lastly, be friendly, sushi chefs will appreciate it.

CITY PAGES Poet turns her words into performance

Shawonna Wynn, poet and star of Simply Shawonna: She’s Out the Box

‘Simply Shawonna: She’s Out the Box’

By Jeff Klima

Shawonna Wynn has scary intensity.

The way she expresses her thoughts when she gets going is poetry itself— staccato blasts of emotion tied into paragraphs. Her books and YouTube videos draw you into a world of energy and life experience. Exciting to read, seeing her words acted out with a cast and backed by a band, will be something on another level. When Wynn brings her multimedia performance, “Simply Shawonna: She’s Out the Box” to the Ohio Theater Sunday, November 13, you should be in the audience.

in trying to conform (themselves) to society or what any specific group thinks.

But when you close yourself in like that, you’re not able to grow. I’ve been trapped like that before, but you have to allow yourself to flourish and grow, to be who you are, to experience the fullness of yourself. She’s ‘Out The Box’ because you cannot contain me, you cannot stop me, you cannot hinder me, you cannot hold me back. I’m here to encourage and inspire you and empower you to take on that same energy and experience the fullness of your life.

We talked with Wynn and gathered some background on this Toledo native and how she finds the words that inspire, encourage and liberate us.

When you say Simply Shawonna is multimedia what do you mean?

The Ohio Theater has a projector, so we’re going to do a stage production— it’s gonna have a live band, live actors and actresses, we will have some pre-recorded things so the projector will be in play too.

(Basically, the show will switch between live action and pre-recorded elements, creating a multimedia element).

Why is it called “Simply Shawonna: She’s Out The Box”?

When you’re growing as an artist, sometimes they say ‘find your genre, find your niche, what are you good at, where’s your expertise?’ And it seems like I’m all over the place, from one extreme to the other. I say, “Simply Shawonna” because everything about me is anything but simple.

“She’s Out The Box” is being able to experience the freedom of who you are, because so many people get stuck

Where did the idea to do this come from?

I started writing a few years back and I have a poetry book and its purpose is to aim beyond. It’s a collection of poetry, so the idea is to take a lot of the poems from that book and bring (them) to life. It’s kind of like taking the words from your mind

and putting them on paper. And then, once they’re on paper, it’s time to start projecting them through voice and then to bring in a visual way to share. That’s the short version of it.

How did you get involved with the Ohio Theater?

I really wanted to make sure I did something here to stay connected with the community. I know it’s a historical place, I know it has great value in the area; it’s an easy place to get to, the renovations have been going really well and the staff is really cool. I’ve been really grateful and excited about that.

You grew up in Toledo?

Born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, Graduated from Rogers High School.

I left Toledo in ‘99 and moved to Georgia. And I’m back here now. I’m doing my production.

What brought you back?

My family. And then with the production, we have a full band, background singers, actors, actresses, and choreography. I come from a large and talented family. I decided that before I auditioned a bunch of people I may not know to try to take this large production on the road, I wanted to work with people that I know and am related to, so that we could all experience this and grow together. That’s one of my angles. We have a lot of great people in this city. It wasn’t about leaving here and staying gone— stretching out and never coming back. I left here and grew up and become strong in who I was and what I am doing.

And now I can share what I have with others willing to be a part of it.

Where do you get the ideas for your poetry?

Life. Whether it’s my experiences or others experiencing things. Joys, pains, conquering challenges, overcoming obstacles, experiencing victories, persevering through your own struggles as well as the judgments that others try to put on you. You know how they say you have to be your own inspirer— you’ve gotta find that strength and persevere through it.

How did you get involved with poetry writing?

Prayer. I’m a spiritual person, but not necessarily religious. I do believe. I remember praying to find my purpose and I remember hearing words. I could literally start hearing the words. At first, I could hear one or two, and then I started writing them down and it turned into full pieces. It might turn into a song, it might turn into a full chapter, it might turn into a book idea or a production concept.

What should people expect at the performance?

Expect to be surprised! Expect great energy. Expect inspiration. Expect empowerment. Expect to be able to laugh. Expect to be able to dance.

Expect to be able to interact. We have some things for audience participation.

Be encouraged to know that the stigmas in our lives, whether it’s age, weight, color, we don’t have to be held back by them. As long as you have life, you can push forward with it. That’s what I hope people will experience.

Jeffrey Albright, right, and a fellow actor rap religion in “The Christians.”

A Question of Faith

Actors Collaborative Toledo to present provocative play “The Christians”

By Jeff McGinnis For Jeffrey Albright, the Actors Collaborative Toledo’s (ACT) upcoming production of Lucas Hnath’s provocative play “The Christians” hits close to home— in many ways.

For one thing, the actor and cofounder of ACT will be playing the lead role, a pastor whose crisis of faith rocks his congregation. The play will be staged at Trinity Episcopal Church, where Albright is a member. The show was first brought to Albright’s attention last fall by a dear friend, Susan, who praised Hnath’s critically lauded, nationally well-recieved, mature and nuanced play about faith.

“She liked it so much that she had seen it three times while she was in Columbus, and told me I had to read it. So I read it, then presented it to the playreading committee of our theater, and they reacted very positively and decided to do it.”

Susan, also a member of Trinity’s congregation, who had battled cancer for years, sadly passed away this past August. “I’m dedicating my performance in her memory,” Albright said.

Thought provoking

Staging a thought-provoking piece like “The Christians” is par for the course for Actors Collaborative Toledo, a non-profit organization which has specialized in bringing unconventional theater to area stages since it was founded in 2013.

“We are a group of theater artists joined together to do more contemporary plays that wouldn’t necessarily be done by other local companies, usually due to content or subject matter,” Albright said. “These are things that the regular community theaters probably

28

November 9 • November 22

couldn’t fill their theaters with. We are what I call a ‘traveling group of actors,’ we perform in different venues. We don’t have a brick-and-mortar building.”

Trinity Church is one many venues that have hosted ACT shows, including the Toledo Museum of Art to the Collingwood Arts Center. Albright said that broadening the group’s connections to area artists is a big part of ACT’s continuing growth over the past few years.

“We have a lot more people who are involved at all levels. We have people who are contacting us with ideas for plays for us to produce, plays they want to direct.

We have opened up to the theater community a lot in the past few years.”

Desire to communicate

To that end, a portion of the proceeds from “The Christians” will be going to support the Perrysburg Chorale, which will be performing as the choir during the show. And Albright said he hopes the play’s themes about faith and communication will give it deep resonance with area audiences.

“It’s okay to disagree with people, and to still be in conversation with them, which is something that is being tested right now in our whole country,” he said.

“I mean, one of the things the main character says, and I’m paraphrasing, is ‘I have this intense desire to communicate, but the distance between us is insurmountable.’ So it’s trying to communicate with someone when there is great distance in your beliefs, which can apply to religion, to politics, to a romantic relationship.”

“The Christians” will be performed on Saturday, November 19 at 8pm at Trinity Episcopal Church on Adams Street. $10. For more information, visit act419.org.

Digging for gold under the dirt The Love Below Society creates opportunities for women and girls

By Athena Cocoves

When a major politician admits to molesting women, it makes headlines.

Donald Trump’s 2005 brag— “grab her by the ...”— still echoes. But for sexual assault survivors, these reports aren’t just sensational headlines, they are painful reminders of a traumatic past.

When the personal becomes political and private moments are subject to public analysis, how can women become empowered? For local artist Krysta Sa, 28, art, discussion and the company of others, provides strength. Sa has established The Love Below Society: creative safe spaces for women & girls, a series of free pop-up events and workshops, with the first event set for Thursday, November 17 at The Original Sub Shop on Broadway.

Finding your way

In May Sa, a Toledo-native, returned home from traveling and work on a short film in Brazil. Working as an art teacher at The Boys & Girls Club, Sa introduced a new program.

“We talked about music videos and representation— I can’t tell you how

awesome that was to watch Solange or Nicki Minaj and talk about what a feminist is,” Sa explained. “The kids would pick out a music video they wanted, but they had to talk about themes.”

The program brought out stories of media representation, identity and experiential history. With The Love Below Society, these conversations continue.

“The Love Below Society is something I’ve wanted to do for sometime,” said Sa. “Essentially this idea is for survivors, and I want the community to be involved in raising strong, smart and empowered women.”

Feeling it out

The Love Below Society primarily seeks conversation— not answers.

“The first session will be very experimental,” said Sa. “I will lead an open discussion group called Feeling Feelings, featuring a few guests who will talk about a specific feeling associated with their experience as a girl.” (Feeling Feelings is open to all genders).

Like Sa’s art, which ranges from photography to printed clothing, paintings

Founder Krysta Sa urges women to embrace themselves, no matter what.

and other medias, Feeling Feelings will be led by the desire to improve. “The art that I make and care about is a kind of alternative self-help… it’s therapeutic.

That is the art I am interested in sharing,” Sa explained.

Lady’s night

After the Feeling Feelings workshop, the sessions will be limited to those who identify as women and girls.

“I think this will be a very cool event, but I also want people to tell us what they want to hear. There’s

no right way to feel bad, which is why we need a safe space. We live in a society where women aren’t supposed to express anger... and f*ck that.”

5-9pm, Thursday November 17.

All are welcome from 5-6:30pm From 6:45-9pm, the events are for those who identify as women and girls only.

Birds of Chicago are headlining this year’s Ohio Theatre Folk Festival.

Poetry in rhythm at the Ohio Theatre Folk Festival

Enjoy some rust belt roots music with a little banjo on the side

By Roger LaPointe Stop what you’re doing and get on down to the Ohio Theatre and Event Center for the 2nd Annual Ohio Theatre Folk Festival. It will be a night of modern folk music that spans the spectrum from intense rust belt blues with gospel coloring to classic three part folk harmonies, with a little banjo on the side.

November 19th, Birds of Chicago will headline the event with special guests: The Crane Wives, Jo Serrapere & the Willie Dunns, and Toledo’s Ben Stalets.

Doors open at 6:30 PM. Tickets are $25, at the door, or $20 in advance through the Ohio Theatre web site: ohiotheatretoledo.org .

Birds of Chicago are again headliners, blending American gospel, folk, and rock-and-roll. Chicago natives, Allison Russell and JT Nero create a sound that is both deeply felt and intensely exhilarating. “Birds of Chicago, reassert the simple notion - radical in these times - that beautiful words and music can still tap deep veins of emotion.” The Birds of Chicago are currently on tour promoting their 2016 album, “Real Midnight.”

The Crane Wives

The Crane Wives weave classic three part vocal harmonies in new, yet very accessible ways. Hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, the indie-folk outfit is known for eclectic instrumentation and organic song-craft. The Crane Wives were launched into the national spotlight when the Decemberist’s Colin Meloy had his picture taken with their debut album, “Safe Ship Harbored” during an NPR interview. Three albums further down the road, positive PR keeps following the band.

Jo Serrapere & the Willie Dunns

Jo Serrapere is a Detroit native who has appeared on Prairie Home Companion and at the Lincoln Center, in Washington, DC. Her brand of American roots music crosses the modern folk spectrum from gutsy alt country to sultry jazz and blues. She seamlessly leads the Willie Dunns with vocals that soar over electric guitar surf solos melded with rockabilly stand up bass, while never veering from a genuine folk feel. “The lyrics and content are strong with human issues of life and love… It’s a pleasure to hear a woman who can sing the “Blues” and sing them well.” – Bonnie Austring-Winter CBC Radio.

Ben Stalets

Opening the night, Ben Stalets will be both emcee and solo performer. Originally from Toledo, Ben has been touring the country performing imaginative and heart-felt songs.

The historic Ohio Theatre and Event Center is located in Toledo’s Old North End at 3114 Lagrange Street. The beautiful old theater, built in 1921, was recently updated with a new sound and lighting system. It is the last surviving example of the many neighborhood theatres that were a hallmark of Toledo nightlife. Proceeds from the event will support the preservation and revitalization of this beautiful community cornerstone.

I didn’t know who I was buying for. I just saw enough cute stuff that I knew I could satisfy a handful of friends and family with the DIY and handmade goods. Fortunately, Maker’s Mart will return from for another full day of supporting makers, shopping and grabbing indie gifts for friends, family and yourself.

TOLEDO ACCORDING TO...

How Haley Taylor fills up her Glass (City) Toledo’s a big town with a lot of friendly faces. Ever wonder what a walk in Ottawa Park, or throughout Downtown, is like for other residents? We’re stepping inside the soles and souls of Toledoans to learn how they fill up their Glass City.

Name: Haley Taylor Age: 25 Occupation: Radio Host and Producer for The Rough Draft Diaries on WGTE Public Media

1

Toledoan since: This is tricky. I lived near Toledo since I was a kid, but I wouldn’t call myself a proper Toledoan until I started working at WGTE in 2013.

3

2

The local artists and musicians I love are Dooley Wilson, Heavy Color, Dani Herrera, Jodi Lyn, Estar Cohen Band, Steve Mockensturm. There’s so many!

For the best view in Toledo, I go to…. I don’t know if it’s the best view of Toledo but I like the view from the roof of Toledo Public Library.

When out of towners visit me, I always take them to our parks (if the weather is nice) and the museum (if the weather is not).

1. _______ is the Toledoan I most admire. Producing The Rough Draft Diaries means I’ve met so many interesting, admirable Toldoans. It sounds so cliche, but I honestly couldn’t pick one.

There is a particular spot in a particular MetroPark that is my secret spot. I love it and shall never tell where it is... or it wouldn’t be my secret spot.

2. I wish Thackeray’s Book Store was still open. Does anyone remember this store? I loved it.

The hardest thing about living in Toledo is the roads, seriously they’re the worst. Why is there construction on every. single. road? But the best thing is the people.

I always brag about Toledo’s spunk.

There are some wonderfully weird, passionate people who love this city and aren’t afraid to show it.

www.toledocitypaper.com

To find inspiration, I go to 20 under 40.

I’ve only been once, but there were so many talented, hard-working individuals in that space that I felt motivated and honored to be a part of that crowd.

We are here to create The Ultimate Athlete Everyone Is An Athlete….

3. The last store I went to was Wixey Bakery.

The first three words that come to mind about Toledo are: weird, wonderful, and passionate. A good combination.

Too many people think there’s nothing to do in Toledo, but it is so easy to stay connected and informed by checking out Toledo.com, The Toledo City Paper, Toledo Region, The Arts Commission, events on Facebook, explore downtown, etc.

My favorite night out in Toledo most likely happened on Adams Street.

If I need to buy a present for a special occasion, I know Maker’s Mart will hook me up with a great gift.

The street I drive/walk on most often is Anthony Wayne Trail. I don’t walk it but after moving twice, It’s still that stretch I use to get to work.

I know Tony Packo’s Sweet Hots will satisfy my munchies.

The cheese cutting ceremony at The Anderson’s is my favorite annual event.

If money wasn’t an object, I would buy and renovate an OWE house.

Toledo’s theme song should be Coming Up by Paul McCartney.

Thursday, 11.17 Run 4 fun One of the hardest parts of working out is trying to do it alone. Avoid the pitfalls by joining up with a group for 5k runs on Thursdays in November. Go at your own pace as runners and walkers of all skill levels are welcome. A 5k (or 3.1 mile run to us Yanks) burns off roughly 300-400 calories, depending on your weight, so this would be a great introduction to readying your body and mind for a healthy change. And you’ll meet some like-minded runners who can help push your goals forward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The full moon on the 14th shines directly on you so behave yourself. You begin to hear from old friends and long lost relatives on the 19th. They may all want invitations to Thanksgiving Dinner. Be prepared!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) On the 9th you switch gears to the next two holidays.

Your partner wants to help but cannot keep up with you. The full moon on the 14th exposes secrets from your past.

G N U UNS S E O R HE Considering Gini Behrendt’s warm smile, it’s no surprise she has a passion for roasting beans and, with her late husband Ralph, founded Flying Rhino Coffee.

Craft Coffee Roaster

Their journey began percolating in 2005 after the two glass artists purchased a vintage coffee roaster. Achieving success at The Farmer’s Market, Flying Rhino then began selling at specialty groceries. To ensure freshness, Gini and Ralph refused to sell roasted beans that remained unsold after 30 days. “That was a hard road to go when you’re a brand new business, but that standard was important to us. We still hold to it.”

Ralph passed away in June 2014, forcing Gini to make adjustments without her life and business partner, but with the help of her Uptown community.

“Living in UpTown, I feel like I have meaning. It feels wonderful and safe. I love supporting the other businesses here. I thought about leaving this area, but there’s so much love here. There’s so much to do, so much to be involved in. If you plug into it, you feel full, loved and satisfied. I can’t think of a better place to live than where I’m at, so I’m not going anywhere.”

Flying Rhino Coffee 436 13th St., 419-244-6100 7:15am-1pm, Monday-Friday flyingrhinocoffee.com
