River rides on the Sandpiper excursion boat will be available at a low price, and the Metroparks will be offering tours of the future Middlegrounds Metropark along the riverbank. There will be plenty of Maumee Bay food available, and a special festival brew, along with live music all afternoon and into the evening featuring local favorites like Pat Lewandowski, Rachel Richardson and the Antivillains.

It's amazing that nobody's thought of this before — isn't it time we celebrated our most precious resource? $5 admission. 1-10pm. 27 Broadway St. 419-290-1259. www.maumeebayriverfestival.org. —MD

Asphalt gets a dose of creativity on PARK(ing) Day

Free PARK(ing)

For the second straight year, UpTown transforms for a day

By Matt Desmond You work with what you have. Everyone wants to turn the city they live in into the city it could be, but where are you going to begin? How about with a simple but suggestive play on words? Because if there's one thing we've got a lot of, as a city, it's asphalt, much of it carefully parceled out into metered parking spaces. It's a huge amount of space — space that you never think about until you need it. But on Friday, September 21, you're invited to think about it in a new and vivid way, as, for one day, downtown Toledo "parking spaces" are magically transformed into PARKS.

Reclaiming the commons

That's PARK(ing) Day. To be clear, it's not the first time. It's a new urban tradition that was born in the last decade. Like a lot of trends, it started on the West Coast — in San Francisco, to be precise. The folks at Rebar, a hip design firm, were a bit distressed that so much of

the public space in their area was given over to serving the needs of private vehicles. But they saw a loophole. A metered parking space essentially allows you to lease public property for a limited time, and Rebar took that opportunity to give that space back to the public. On a typically lovely San Fran afternoon, they transformed a parking space into a miniature park, complete with trucked-in sod, a comfy bench and a (potted) tree. The "park" existed for a mere two hours, but photos of it in all its glorious incongruity went viral online, and a global trend was born.

Bringing it home

In 2011, 162 cities in 35 countries took part in the celebration, and for the first time, Toledo was one of them.

The UpTown Association seized the opportunity to promote the struggling-yet-creatively-fertile area on the

edge of downtown, and residents stepped up, creating 27 parks ranging from the simple to the avant garde. The City Paper was thrilled to participate, and we felt like our whimsical Alice In Wonderland theme was a hit.

This year, the UpTown Association hopes to better that showing, with some 30 business on board to participate. (Yes, we're one of them!) They'll be spread out all day along Adams Street, between 11th and 19th (from our offices up to Bretz nightclub). With any luck, we'll get some beautiful last-day-of-summer weather, so if you're anywhere near downtown, don't miss your chance to take a stroll from park to park and see ordinary space transformed into something extraordinary.

PARK(ing) Day runs from 11am to 6pm. And when it's over, the parks are gone, so don't delay! Call 419-290-8629 for more info, or visit www.uptowntoledo.org/parking-day.php.

Adventure in the Metroparks

By Alison Wood-Osmun The bright, colorful autumn season (first day of autumn is September 22) and the Toledo Area Metroparks combine into the ultimate fun-filled adventure. Here are just a few of the many discoveries and experiences that are waiting for you. For maps and info visit metroparkstoledo.com Swan Creek’s red trail, dappled in sunlight and shade curves around to reveal its famed swinging bridge. Anchored over the slow moving water by cables imbedded in two massive cottonwood trees, the wooden expanse invites you to dance across several times just for the sheer being-in- the -moment silliness of it! Don’t miss the Overlook (six minute beyond the bridge) for a great view of the creek. (4659 Airport Hwy, Toledo) The Lusk Mewborn Boardwalk, winding its way above the marshy soil, is one of the highlights of Wildwood Preserve’s Floodplain Trail. The path offers an encompassing feeling of being in the heart of a woodland setting. The patio area’s two deck levels provide a soothing respite of sight and sound as crickets and birds serenade the Ottawa River cascading over the rocks and through the lush greenery.

Forget your usual old exercise routine. Pearson Metropark is known as an exercise and activity oasis. Invigorate yourself by walking or running on the 2.9 mile crushed stone Red Exercise Trail that loops through some really gorgeous natural scenery. Begin and end your workout with the fitness station’s stretching equipment. There is also a 3 mile bike loop, softball diamonds and a soccer field.

Iridescent dragonflies will greet you at the sparkling lake and waterfall near the Brown Trail. Fish the lake’s bounty of large mouth bass and blue gill and the seasonal stock of rainbow trout and catfish. (Lallendorf Rd off Navarre Ave Oregon, OH) Side Cut Metropark hosts a fragment of the once operational Miami and Erie Canal lock system used to raise and lower the water levels for boat travel. The Canal Lock Trail is an intriguing and engaging construction of paths, decks, bridges and stairs around the remaining large trenches and locks (handicap accessible).

Take the grassy side trails and discover the secluded gazebos and benches hidden among the trees inviting you to stop and enjoy the birds song and refreshing breezes. (1025 River Rd, Maumee OH)

new jobs for local folks, who will then tend to spend their newfound earnings in local stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues, spreading the wealth throughout the community. The expansion will also restart wealth creation in support industries like tool and die and machine shops, which can hire more folks with similar ripple effects. Public coffers will fill with taxes generated by all this economic activity.

The recently announced expansion of retail outlets in the Toledo area.

This is certainly good news for the T-Town economy, but not as good as the return of manufacturing. New retail stores will hire folks, although usually at a pay scale approaching minimum wage and often without benefits. These employees will have less to spend than their union counterparts and will tend to work longer hours, giving them less time to spend it. Some of the stores will be franchised chains, which means some of the economic ripple effects like banking and legal services will leave the area. Retail distributes rather than creates goods, which adds value but not at the same rate of return. This will help public coffers, though less than manufacturing will.

The new casino. Here’s where we start to go down hill. Hundreds of new jobs in entertainment help lower the unemployment rate, and the casino offers decent pay and bennies, although many of the new jobs are part-time. Some of the profits will leave the area since the owner-

New charter schools. This one keeps popping up, touted by wags in elected office and others as economic development. We think it should be as easy to see through as the church thing above.

Schools don’t pay taxes either, and unless they are manufacturing new students, don’t produce jobs but instead take them from traditional public and parochial schools.

In fact, many of the charter schools have a higher student to teacher ratio, especially the new online schools, which means they actually destroy good-paying union jobs with benefits. Test scores at most charters show their educational product is actually worse than their traditional counterparts. A new trend is that some start up charter schools don’t bother to renovate their spaces following mandated building codes. Two new charters have had to suspend classes recently because their classrooms were deemed unfit for human habitation. Not only does this endanger their students, it also means they don’t use licensed contractors to complete the work, adding another layer of killing goodpaying union jobs.

That’s the quiz. How’d ya do? With a bit of common sense and a modicum of understanding of economic principles the answers shoulda been simple. How about you folks in the economic development and policy making spheres? Did you get all five correct?

No, huh? We figgered as much.

The art of cheese

Turkeyfoot Creamery, where the little guy (and his goats) rule

By Alia Orra

It’s a dining experience that will transport you right to the salty Atlantic seaside — fresh, live Maine lobster, Blue Hill Bay mussels, Wellfleet littleneck clams, sweet corn on the cob, and apple pie a la mode for the finish. Reservations required; call 888-456-3463. $59.95. 6pm. 22 Main St. at the Docks. 419-697-4400. www.realseafoodcorestaurant.com

When Del Burkholder first told his wife his plans to start a goat farm, she sprang up (she was sensible, after all) and cried "What? At our age?"

Burkholder shrugs sheepishly at the memory. "I've always been into goats."

Before his wife had many more opportunities to protest, he began learning how to make goat cheese, amassing equipment from as far as Holland and dozens of goats — Lamanchas (goats with no ears), Sonans (beautiful white goats), billies (disagreeable goats). That was a little more than a year ago, when he'd sold all the gear from his previous painting business on his doctor's advice. His Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery has since become the go-to goat cheese supplier for the wave of restaurants and supermarkets now interested in locally-sourced, sustainable food products, from Bar 145 to Health Foods by Claudia.

On most days you'll find him in a plaid shirt of varying colors and white painter jeans — in fact, in all the press clippings hanging from the spotless walls of the creamery, he sports the same look, the only variables his boots and ever-present hair net. He awakes at 6:30 in the morning and works 14 hours to fulfill three passions: cheese, goats, and honest farming. The Wauseon, Ohio farmer's admissions throughout a typical day are charming, and frequent.

On his favorite pastime, making goat cheese ice cream: "I'm not a normal guy, I guess. I love cooking."

"It sounds pretty bad, but I recognize them from behind better than in front."

To the city dweller, the goat business seems unpleasant. There are all sorts of smells and difficult personalities. But Burkholder's sunny optimism is the foil to every goats' stubborn 'mah." "It's good, healthy, clean work. It's nourishing." His aim is not just to make mild reels of gouda and chevre as well as the Europeans do, but to also do it honestly, and chemical-free. "I'm doing it the way I want it, the way I want to eat."

"I go through a lot more steps than a commercial creamery," he says, admiring the reels of gouda in his cheese cave.

Culture shock

At The Cigar Affair‌�

We’re Serious About Cigars�

Catalyst Theatre Network looks at California’s controversial decision

by Allan Sanders Well, here’s something unique, unusual and kind of fun — a new theatre group presenting a play which I haven’t heard of before. And yet the plays’ pedigree almost insists that we pay attention.

The Catalyst Theatre Network, which was started by Jennifer Rockwood at the University of Toledo earlier this year, is presenting a staged reading of the politically charged play “8� by Dustin Lance Black. Now you may not have Jennifer Rockwood heard of this one either, will direct “8� but it appears to be the ‘little play that did, could and still is!’ A courtroom drama based on California’s controversial 2010 ballot issue, Proposition 8, which effectively banned same-sex marriage in the state, “8� has been presented as a staged reading in star driven productions from New York to Los Angeles. It remains hugely popular with readings all over the country as election season heats up. Playwright Black, Oscarwinning screenwriter of “Milk� and “J. Edgar� who looks like an older Justin Beiber, says of his play, “The goal of “8� is to show the world that marriage equality is a basic constitutional right and that those who would deny this basic freedom to loving, committed couples have only vitriol and baseless hyperbole to fall back on. The facts are on our side and truth always finds the light.�

The play does not just present an argument to ban same-sex marriage, but rather also shows that the joining of same-sex couples by marriage is to be celebrated. In fact, it is Black's presenting both sides of the coin that makes “8� an interesting and informative evening of education disguised as drama. And yet, in 2010, the election in California was so compelling that the nation held it's collective breath while arguably the most liberal state in the Union, and inarguably

the largest state in the union by population, cast its vote to outlaw gay marriage. In the meantime, 6 states have passed laws in support of gay marriage. “8� shows the philosophy and mindset of those both for the ban and against the ban. “8� has captured the nation's imagination in the same way that “The Vagina Monologues� has for many years. The play has become a ‘cause celebre’ for Hollywood with stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Martin Sheen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jane Lynch, George Takei and John C. Reilly taking the helm for a production just this past March. A New York production added star power from Morgan Freeman, John Lithgow, Bradley Whitford, Christine Lahti, Ellen Barkin, Rob Reiner, Bob Balaban and Yeardly Smith.

The Catalyst production is worth noting for 2 reasons: The fact that it is very much a “current event� play, the campaign for Proposition 8 taking place only 2 years ago; and the fact that the Catalyst is presenting this little gem at no charge. That’s right: FREE. So look no further than the Catalyst Theatre Network for an evening of political drama at the best price in the City. Production Note: After the performance, there will be a panel discussion with leaders from Equality Toledo.  8, by Dustin Lance Black, takes place 7:30pm Sunday, October 7 at Doermann Theatre on the UT campus, 2801 W.

“Edith Franklin always gave the best advice about education, art, luck, love, and business. I know when I am an older woman, I will share lessons learned from her in the way that she shared knowledge from her mentor, Virginia Stranahan.”

Glass City legend Toledo keeps Edith Franklin in its heart by Scott Recker

— Jules Webster, owner of the Art Supply Depot

Talk to almost anyone in the art community about the late Edith Franklin and a smile instantly comes to their face.

They’ll tell you about an energetic, funloving, compassionate and strong woman, who lived for others and took generations of young artists under her wing. When Edith passed on Friday, August 31, at the age of 89, we heard more and more moving stories surface. Those memories needed to be shared.

“Edith was a great inspiration by example: she was feisty, outspoken, curious and interesting. A truly altruistic individual, her support of the arts in the Toledo community was endless. As a member of the Toledo Potter’s Guild and a past recipient of the Edith Franklin Pottery Scholarshipto organization that Edith founded — I am grateful to Edith and so glad to have known such a force of a woman.”

“It takes a village to support an artist. It took an artist like Edith Franklin to help show our community how important the arts really are!”

“We were in Mexico — where I used to live — and I took them on tours.

We were in a town called Tepostlan, which is up in the mountains. She loved the artistic markets. She wanted to try everything. The whole tour had to wait while she bought a bag of fried grasshoppers. She was trying to get everyone to try them. It was really quite wonderful. That was Edith; she was always trying something new.”

“Edith was a singular person, a gifted artist, an unabashed supporter of all young artists; a person with a generous spirit, a critical eye, an uncommon drive, and an insatiable curiosity.”

Welcome to the scene

It seems like the local art scene never stops growing.

Overture, a show that includes the 2D and 3D works of more than 27 artists. $5. 7-9pm. 1527 Starr Ave. www. lesogallery.com

Calling all artists With a little help from friends For their first fundraiser, Launch Pad Cooperative has thought up of a unique, fun and inexpensive way to promote local artists.

They’ve recently released a call for artists for the benefit 8x8, a December exhibition that asks for pieces that are 8”x8” that can be as intricate or simple as desired. The pieces will be sold for $20 — with proceeds going to artist talks and operation costs at LPC — and will hang from December 13 - January 4. Pieces will also be sold anonymously — artists are asked to sign the back of their work, so people know the creator only after they purchase it. Deadline: Monday, December 3. Drop off or send submissions to 911 Jefferson Ave. For more info, visit www. launchpadcooperative/8x8.html.

Role reversal While it's usually George Carruth's handcasted pieces of stone sculpture that are sought out for collection or decoration, this time it's his studio on the hunt. Carruth Studio has recently put out a call to artists, looking for a sculpture to place in front of their shop, Garden Smiles, located at 211 Mechanic St. in Waterville. They have an approximate budget of $2000 and desire something 3-4 feet in diameter and up to 10-11 feet in height. If interested, send proposal or photos to info@carruthstudio.com.

Whistling Swan by John James Audubon “The Biggest Week in American Birding” may have happened back in the spring, but the exhibit inspired by it, “For the Birds” is still going strong in TMA’s Gallery 18. It’s a showcase of all the rich and vibrant avian-inspired art in the Musuem’s collection, and it may just let your inspiration take wing.

Capturing the giants Phase two Last spring, 10 vibrant and creative bike racks — including one modeled after the High Level Bridge — were installed by the Arts Commission on Adams Street.

It might get loud

Brooklyn noise-pop duo Sleigh Bells comes to BG

by Joseph Schafer Decibel worshippers rejoice. Brooklyn's Sleigh Bells will play at the Clazel in Bowling Green on Monday October 1st, and they promise to blow out eardrums. “We don't play the kind of music you put on at dinner,” says singer Alexis Krauss. “It's the kind you scream along with in your car, and it's played best at high volume.”

Onstage, Krauss styles herself a rocker— she wore a black leather jacket during a Saturday Night Live performance—but on the phone had more to say about Beyonce and Motown. The conflict between noise and melody, between rock and pop, drives her band. “We're fascinated by music that is effective and evokes so much, but is so simple," she says. "Sleigh Bells is really skeletal because of that.” She may be referring to her band's music—short, major-key pop songs with minimal lyrics and big shout-along choruses. Or she might mean instrumentality: the only other member of Sleigh Bells is guitarist Derek Miller. Their backup players? A laptop and a wall of Marshall amps.

Their music sounds as jubilant as it is loud with Krauss's bright, clear voice recalling The Bangles.

Their pounding drums evoke Big Black or Nine Inch Nails, albeit less menacing. Derek Miller's guitar lines owe a debt of gratitude to the power-chord glee of Def Leppard and the Ramones, especially on their 2012 release, Reign of Terror. Fitting, since Miller is an alumni of hardcore punks Poison the Well, but where his old band raged his new band rejoices.

Their fashion sense celebrates that youthful joy as well. Miller performs in a Varsity letter jacket, and the

cover of their 2010 debut, Treats, was a group of cheerleaders. To an extent Sleigh Bells is a celebration of its members' childhoods. In their music video for “End of the Line” Sleigh Bells ride through a suburb Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss are the dynamic duo behind NYC’s Sleigh Bells. on BMX bikes, Miller in that are going to make people think and feel something his letter jacket and Krauss sporting bangles reminisdifferent.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Starting the

19th your career opportunities soar. Your reputation is spotless. Your schedule is TOO full the 22nd and 23rd. You may have to take orders (yuk!). The full moon the 29th shines directly on you. Avoid an argument with a powerful person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) There are par-

ties the 22nd and 23rd. Mix in a little football, too. The week of the 24th you have a lot on your plate but manage to handle it. Dinner out and a movie is a treat the 26th. Rest on the 29th and 30th and be good to yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) All action shifts to your fifth house on the 22nd and that is a perfect place. On the 25th you can’t make a mistake. The 26th enjoy a mid-week break.

Keep a low profile on the 29th and 30th. Those around you interfere with your peace of mind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Starting the 19th your partner is more agreeable. Late on the 20th, shift mental gears to setting up a weekend trip the 22nd and 23rd. Effort is needed to campaign for your favorite cause.

Keep a low profile the 29th when the full moon fights with Pluto.

LEO (July 23-August 22) You are able to

take life easy. On the 22nd the sun moves into position to make you think “new car.” Be sure it’s red. Not much excitement from then until the 29th and 30th when you are so busy you need an administrative assistant.

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) Take advantage of the opportunities to discuss financial gains with experts. Take a chance on the 21st. Travel the 22nd and 23rd, but plan to be near home the week of the 24th. The full moon the 29th highlights money again.

LIBRA (September 23-October 22)

Happy birthday to you on the 22nd. Nobody loves candy and cake more than a Libran. The week of the 24th is filled with social invitations and you say “yes” to everything. Partnerships are under the gun the 29th, so be diplomatic.

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21)

Mars is in your sign making you jump around a lot. Lead the way the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd.

Money looks better the week of the 24th.

More good news the 27th and 28th. The full moon the 29th shines on your good health.

Don’t overdo.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) You have a few ups and downs as you

are asked to plan fall trips and special events.

Some on the 21st and 22nd may include football. The week of the 24th includes fall color trips and hayrides. The full moon the 29th gives you good luck.

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19)

A new job or responsibility comes your way the 19th or 20th. You can handle it. Relax the 23rd. Pluto is giving you power and you love being the boss. The full moon the 29th argues with Uranus and Pluto but you hold your ground.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18)

From the 19th through the 22nd Uranus (your ruling planet) is at odds with Pluto. You are faced with challenges personally and professionally. Keep your cool and “tune out” to avoid problems. On the 29th control your temper.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) If you are thinking of a career change make your contacts on the 20th or 21st. The week of the 24th you can impress others with your amazing talent. Watch your money by the light of the full moon the 29th. You can be gullible.

This should be a fairly calm period, at least until the 29th when the full moon aligns with Uranus nicely, BUT it argues with Pluto. Check your sign below to see if this affects you personally.

Nearly $275,000 was raised for the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo and Toledo Children’s Hospital during the event, which was held at the Perrysburg home of Barbara Steel and Alan Kimpel.

Brit Hamlin, glass artist

Opa!

The Greek-American Festival brought delicious Mediterranean food and wonderful traditional dance to Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox’s 42nd annual celebration September 7-9.

We spotted Brit, a Detroit native and walking fashion contradiction with a devil-may-care attitude, enjoying the galleries downtown during the GAS conference. (She's a glass artist herself — visit www.brithamlin.com to check out her work, or shop her creations at circularcommotion.etsy. com) TCP stopped her mid-puff to find out how she pulls it off.

Your feather earrings are cool.

I'm super into adornment. I love onetribe.nu — they sell earth-friendly stuff.

Nichole Kanios and Paulette Shula

You’re an artist. Did you design your tattoos?

I just sort of pick tattoos as they come to me. I think of my body as a canvas.

Half is in color, the other half is in black and white.

How do you decide what to wear in the morning?

Anything goes. I dress like a hippie punk, just eclectic.

Does that explain the combat boots?

I like contrast. I'm really into opposites. It's all about putting it together and making it work. Art's kind of like that, too.
