More reader RANTS! Toledo has always been a city of great potential. What Toledo lacks is vision and leadership. It saddens me to drive through my hometown and see boarded up buildings, abandoned lots that used to be thriving with commerce, and a host of memories of how things used to be.

One way or another, Toledo (and its surrounding communities) has a future.

At present, Toledo’s future doesn’t look great.

We can’t wait for politicians or big business tycoons to bail us out of our economic situation. Even though Toledo needs a serious infusion of capital to kick-start our economy, we’re going to have to bootMy trash and/or recycling has been missed at least three times since switching to Republic Services and their automated pick-up. When I call Republic (which I do each time) they tell me the trucks are still out, but my bins are still not emptied.

Last week, I called the Department of Public Utilities and was told, "We just bill you. Call Republic or the mayor's office."

strap ourselves into prosperity.

We need leaders and visionaries who see Toledo for what it is: a great investment. We have an ideal location, it’s inexpensive to live here, and we have an educated and eager workforce. We need to find ways to spark grass-roots entrepreneurship at home, and maybe find ways to fund local business ventures.

Realizing our common future, we each have a role to play in building up Toledo. We can restore hometown pride, encourage our prosperity and build a community of opportunity. Let’s invest in ourselves by creating a bold future.

Sincerely, Dave Graham via e-mail

So, I called the mayor's office and they promised to have a supervisor call me back and a week later, I am still waiting.

Seems like Toledo needs a better system of reporting issues with trash collection. Who is overseeing Republic? Why is this so difficult?!? I simply want the services I pay for to be delivered in a timely manner.

The lake’s satisfying (and scientific) fun Enjoying the Great Lakes from both perspectives By Alison Wood-Osmun

Great Lake protector

Lake Erie is our awesome outdoor playground. We sail, kayak, canoe and jet ski upon its waves. We feast our eyes on its gleaming blueness and its diverse plant and life supporting ecosystem. We swim in its depths and walk along its shore lines.

We also fish, eat and drink from its bounty.

The University of Toledo Lake Erie Center (Maumee Bay State Park’s northwest side) serves as a vital sentinel safeguarding the health and welfare of our irreplaceable “socially, economically, and environmentally significant resource.” The work done here enables us to continue to enjoy the incredible Great Lake Erie. Professors and students conduct long-term studies on the lake’s emergent and persistent issues, which impact the quality of our lives including: algae blooms, e-coli levels, invasive species, aquatic wildlife’s health and water quality.

ence a fascinating look into the life of our amazing lake while gaining a better understanding of its problems. Rachel Lohner, Education Program Manager, leads you through well- equipped teaching labs displaying diagrams and jars filled with interesting specimens, while summarizing research projects and explaining how the ingenious state-of-the-art equipment is used. The wet lab’s large water tanks (my favorite) provide a cool up-close view of our local fish.

The facility offers additional activities: a summer science program for 5th- 6th graders, an annual photo contest, and a lecture series. LEC is located at 6200 Bayshore Rd. Oregon, OH 419-530-8360.

Airborne celebration

Maumee Bay State Park is a top ten U.S. kite flying venue because of its wide open spaces (no kite-eating trees!) and Lake Erie wind currents. In celebration, the park, along with the Black Swamp Air Force (a group of kite flying enthusiast — check them out at bsaf.org), hosts the annual Kite Flying Weekend (July 20 through 22). It’s free and open to the public (from 10am to 4pm) off parking lot #3.

Framed against the backdrop of the sparkling lake’s incoming waves and blue skies, the beach hosts a festive array of flag-adorned cabanas as whimsical kites dance and soar high into the air. Bring your kite (or purchase one there) and join in the fun.

Whither public investment in T-Town?

By Johnny Hildo LEVY E H T PASS

Libra

And then there’s page two.

Just last issue we spent our precious column space lamenting the lack of choices facing voters across Lucas County. Most of the county-wide races pit powerhouse incumbents against patsy no-names. Some statewide incumbents, like Reps. Michael Ashford and Teresa Fedor, have no opposition at all.

As detailed last column, the one true contest pits two sides of the same retread coin. That contest is for the seat of Lucas County recorder, a position that might have been important in the 19th century when it meant touching quill to logbook and recording the occasional land transaction with impeccable penmanship and nary an ink spot. In the current days of digital high speed internet, the basic job is to ensure there is adequate paper in the inkjet. Yep, the local races don’t have much pizzazz. And then there’s page two.

Brother can you spare a dime?

That’s where the tax levy issues are decided, and believe us, kiddeez, the dance card is filled to the brim. Every property taxing authority imaginable has seemingly decided to place a levy on the ballot this year, from the mental health board to the libraries to children’s services to the Metroparks. Some are seeking renewal of expiring levies, but most are either advancing renewals that don’t expire for one or two years or seeking new or additional funds.

a 6.9-mill request for new money. If approved, it would be the first new money for TPS in over a decade. Officials say it is essential to maintain and expand their transformation plan.

Quick levy primer. When we pass a levy, even though it is advertised as a certain millage assessment on property values, we actually only approve the exact dollar amount those mills will raise at the time of passage. In other words, the money doesn’t increase even if property values do. Any extra money raised is absorbed into County coffers while the revenue for the schools remains flat. New millage would provide additional revenue after a decade of flat revenue but costs rising due to inflation.

Brand new to the party is a request placed on the ballot by Toledo City Council for a 1-mill levy to fund parks and recreation programming in the City. Recommended by a group of community folks convened by Council members Lindsay Webb and Steven Steel, it would purportedly raise over $3 million per year for ten years to rebuild crumbling park infrastructure and restore programming for kids, families and seniors.

Then there’s Imagination Station. And the zoo. And lots of others not available by press time, we’re certain.

Never fear the dearth of candidate choices. You’ll be racking your brains deciding the worthy public allocations of your property tax budget.

Why the rush this year? Why are everybody and their animal trainers cramming their levy requests into November twenny twelve?

LEVY

Stand up and be counted

Simple political calculation, kiddeez. It’s a presidential election year, with lots of voters who only vote every four years flocking to the polls, and lots of liberal-leaning voters coming out for Obama’s re-election. The Obama camp will be beating the bushes pushing voter turnout, especially in the D strongholds of the central city. Those voters tend to support levies at the polls.

These facts elicit interesting responses from our more conservative brethren who oppose the levy ballot craze. We have heard strange lamentations that voters can’t be trusted, and that further only property owners should be able to vote. And other similar odd oratory that would erase two centuries of the progress of American democracy. Long live the king, anyone?

Such delusional dictatorial diatribes aside, the larger question remains. If voter turnout determines the fate of these levies, and more importantly, if high voter participation ensures their passage, doesn’t it follow that they are indeed the will of the vast majority of the populace? If we truly are the greatest democracy in the world, shouldn’t we want everyone’s voice to be heard? And if that cacophony of voices wants public investment in all of the above, shouldn’t we applaud that investment?

The levies we choose to support could help determine our long term viability as a community. Quality of life, community of choice and all that. Shall we tighten our belts, fund our assets, and turn our eager faces to the brightness of the rising T-Town sun?

What qualities make an ideal girlfriend? Honesty, communication, someone that can actually talk to you and tell you when things are wrong. What’s the craziest thing you've ever done for love? I think it was probably flying back and forth to West Palm Beach to date someone. I guess long-term that was a little nuts. Most people [in Ohio] don’t date people in Florida. So you are willing to go out on a limb for the right person? I would do whatever it took to find the right person for me and to hold on to that relationship.

You’ve got quite the local chef personality. Would you be the kind of boyfriend who cooks? If a girl ever asked me to cook for her, yeah, I'd do it.

Cooking’s fun; I think it’s an art form.

Describe your dream woman. You have to be physically attracted to know whether you want to start a conversation. The girl has to definitely be sweet.

Someone you can trust; communication's very important. I’m definitely a verbal guy and I always want to make sure that everything’s good. Blondes or brunettes? Ooh — I don’t discriminate.

Explain the bow-ties. I’m kind of an attention whore. People always think it’s really formal, but I find it’s a great conversation starter. What is a pet peeve you have about women? I think my pet peeve is that women always say they want an upstanding nice guy, and they tend to not go for those types of guys. And Twilight. Just across the board. That’s a general blanket statement. So you’re not roleplaying any sort of Edward/ Bella scenes? No, no, no. If I’m nerding out, it’s going to be Harry Potter or Star Wars.

, 27 Staff sergeant, Ohio Air National Guard

What was coming out like for you?

[It was] a process. It was definitely scary at first and forced me to do a lot of thinking. Now I proudly identify as a member of the LGBT community. Are you ready for a serious relationship? I could definitely see myself in a serious relationship. If I'm going to date someone, there has to be a [real] connection. You sound kind of oldschool. I guess I am. [I have a] traditional way of going about stuff like that.

What are your turn-offs? Someone who isn't well-groomed; people who don't take care of themselves or their belongings is a turn-off for me. And people who always have to get the last word in; that kind of bugs me too.

How would you categorize your dating approach? I’m more of the nice guy. I go up to a person and introduce myself. No games or gimmicks. It’s just an honest approach.

So no one-liners for you? No, none of that. Would you say you’re ready to settle down? That’s hard to say.

If the right girl came around, I could think about it. What makes you a good partner? I’m fun and adventurous. I’ll try just about anything.

I’m honest and a nice guy. Do nice guys finish last? I don’t think they do. Usually it’s the nice guy that wins the best girl for them.

Who is your dream partner?

Someone who is not afraid to live life, has a sense of humor, and a free spirit with a shiny soul. And not a cheater. I am adamant about that.

Some would say that's not so free-spirited. [Laughs.] You can be committed to each other and be free-spirited. I just want someone who is committed to me, because I think that's a sacred bond. What's your idea of a fun night? A lot of things for me are fun. I’m just as happy going to a club and dancing on a pole as I am laying on my rooftop with a blanket and candles, staring at the stars. I went on a date to Chuck E. Cheese once — but I can also go to watch classical ballet and feel at home.

What's a turn-off for you? A guy that’s not respectful of me being a vegetarian. One time a date tried to put bacon in my salad. I was like "What are you doing?" There definitely wasn’t [another] date after that. How would you describe your dream man? He’s holding a Gibson hummingbird acoustic guitar. What tune is your dream guy playing the first time you hop in his car? If he turns it on and it’s some country, twangy song, nah. Country kills my musical soul. […] There’s a [little-known] band called Lost In The Trees [see QR code].

If a guy was playing that, I would be shocked — and I would know right away, this is going to work.

Alex Zyndorf

What kind of music do you listen to? I do not discriminate against any genre of music. Music is my life. I’m a singer — I’m vocally trained. [A potential boyfriend] has to be into music and be into going to shows and stuff. Can a guy expect to be serenaded in song? Oh definitely. That goes without saying. What’s something people would be surprised to know about you? I just graduated with my master’s in public health.

Do you want a funny one? I am an incredible pogo sticker. Whenever I have people over, I just bust out the pogo stick.

, 19 Kent State University fashion student and intern at Sophia Lustig What is a pet-peeve for you about men? When someone spends more time on their hair than I do. That’s a deal breaker.

So no metrosexuals for you?

No. [Laughs.] I like someone who cares about their looks, but isn’t afraid to get dirty when they’re playing a sport, either.

What’s your idea of a perfect first date? I like to just go to dinner and talk to a person.

I’m very big into the whole communication [thing] and getting to know someone. What first-date restaurant would impress you?

Mancy’s, definitely. My dad always told me he took his first dates to Mancy’s Steakhouse.

Becky Fitts

, 23 game plan and group fun consultant for the Mud Hens Do you see yourself getting married? I definitely want to get married and have kids, but I’ll always say I want to make a name for myself before I take someone else’s name. You sound ambitious. I’m very ambitious. I have a pretty long bucket list. Do you need someone adventurous? Yes. Not afraid to jump out of a plane with me or drive really fast in a car. So would sky-diving ever fly as a first date? Absolutely. If you took me sky-diving on a first date you would just steal my heart.

make-or-break moments ... sizing up the signals Two guest bloggers get philosophical on first-date pleasures and pitfalls

The deed

There’s a critical moment that will sometimes occur during a first date. It’s subtle, but if you’re attuned to the proper vibrations, you’ll pick it up instantly. It’s that unexpected, but not unwelcome point when you realize, I can sleep with this person tonight.

Suddenly, every trite, flirtatious toss-off has a deeper, double meaning. Every rapturous moan elicited by a particularly delicious bite of food takes on an element of foreshadowing. Every stolen glimpse at a bra strap becomes a promise of things to come. In the words of the philosopher-knight Sir Mix-A-Lot, it is on. Perhaps until the break of dawn.

The rest of the night passes in a blur of intense, fumbling chaos. Clothes are strewn aside with reckless abandon. Bare flesh meets bare flesh. Things are said that you didn’t even know you had the capacity to think, yet alone utter to someone who’s seeing you naked. Social conventions are done away with in favor of a primal need to Get. The. Deed. Done.

It’s here, though, in the breathless aftermath, where a crucial juncture is reached. A split literally occurs in the space-time continuum, á la Doc Brown’s in Back to the Future II. If it was a quality hookup, the morning sun is brighter, birdsongs are symphonic, and goddamn if you don’t look better in your sullied clothes than you did the night before. If sexy-time was less than stellar, however, the day is clouded over by the specter

of the night’s activities. The mind races.

Am I a whore? Are they? Where are my morals? Where are my underpants?

Not since Sophie’s has a choice been so monumental. To one side, booty of the highest order. To the other, dissatisfaction fouler than the roiling waters of the Maumee. Choose wisely… —Ryan Vasko

Sex, Lies, and Splitting Checks

A first date can be an exercise in gainful deception.

Not outright lying, but the kind of embellishing you might do on a resume. The kind of craftiness that allows merely owning a pair of running shoes to turn into “Oh, I run, too!” and still pass your internal lie detector.

This first date model of you is the best version of yourself, because you can’t be your everyday self.

You’re the kind of guy who uses the self-checkout line to ring up organic arugula as regular arugula and has fallen over while putting on shorts.

The date you is you maybe 15 percent of the year. Smiling, talkative, listening to stories about pets, and giving damns where no damns would otherwise be given.

But there might not be a greater lie in the evening’s intricate web of duplicity than when the woman offers to pay. It usually starts off with a silent routine, a quiet move to her purse to fish out a wallet she knows she’s not actually going to open.

“Can I help you with…?” she might offer, trailing off, well aware she’s going to have the same amount of money in that wallet as when this night started. “That’d be great, I’m glad you’re not caught up with antiquated rules of dating” somehow does not come out of your mouth because it’s beat to the punch by, “Oh, no, I’ve got this!”

And so you pay. You always do, because pretty girls are worth it and you’re not on the up and up either. —Cleveland

Kielbasa king

The links at Zavotski Custom Meats & Deli are If there is one thing you must know about Dave and Kim Zawacki, it is this: they are the anti-pink slime.

Meat is a finicky topic of late. What we admitted carnivores used to tear into with forks, knives and teeth with nary a second thought now brings us pause, and the Zawackis aren't just conscious of this change — it's the whole reason they went into the business. They found love for each other in the supermarket chain deli (each has decades of experience managing one), but they also discovered low-grade beef and how people behind the counter were told to find any way to cut corners to make it cheaper, faster and easier. “In big business, things get so filtered and watered down,” Dave says.

Moving on and up

So they left, and started Zavotski Custom Meats & Deli in 2007. Dave holds up the links of kielbasa he makes the way other people hold their children. He and Kim survey the window view of their homemade, old-fashioned German hot dogs, chicken sausages and cuts of beef with the pride of two parents looking upon a family photo. Zavotski Custom Meats & Deli is a second home for these meat connoisseurs — if you’re a vegetarian, you may want to stop reading now — and the idea of any kind of slime, pink or otherwise, makes them shudder.

www.toledocitypaper.com

“Everything that we do is old-school here,” says Dave. “Everything you see out there is made here. We’re just an oldfashioned meat market done the way it started.”

The Zawackis spent their childhoods in foodloving Polish families. “I remember my grandma making pierogi [cheesestuffed dumplings], and going to the butcher on Lagrange St. with my grandfather,” Dave says.

Polishing a gem

The Collingwood Arts Center is revamping its look while helping conserve energy. The Center updated its 1950s-era chandeliers in the Lois Nelson Theater with 48 new LED lamps.

The lamps will reduce the Center’s energy Photo by Kyle Tate bills, using 432 watts compared to the 2,800 watts consumed by the old lights. Plus, the new lamps will last for more than 25 years. Local organizations did the installation work, with volunteers coming from the Children’s Theater Workshop, the Ability Center, Mountain Mentors and the Ursuline Sisters. The work was finished on July 3 and the chandeliers were raised back into position. All LED lights were donated by Toshiba International Corporation’s LED Lighting Systems Division.

Opening act

There’s a new theatrical “un-company” in Toledo, the Catalyst Theatre Network, and they are set to explore the human condition outside the traditional isolated ensemble by collaborating more with the area’s already established theatre community. Founding members Jennifer Rockwood, Timothy Lake, Jennifer Nagy Lake, Kate Abu-Absi, and John Paul Welch all have ties to the University of Toledo Theatre Department and are active in other theatrical producing entities in different capacities such as directors, sound techs and actors. According to founding member Jennifer Rockwood one of Catalyst’s goals is to “encourage theatre in Toledo, by not being exclusive but inclusive.” Catalyst members seek to support each others’ projects and will work with different venues and companies both formally and informally. Catalyst will not only produce classic works, but also infrequently produced and lesser-known plays. Upcoming Catalyst shows are Shakespeare’s Macbeth opening on August 9 at UT’s Studio Theatre, and in October, 8, a play about California’s controversial Proposition 8 which Toledo will be only one of forty cities across the nation selected to produce it. Macbeth: August 9-12. $15. For more info, visit www.facebook.com/CatalystTheatreNetwork—JG

"Albert Nobbs" Fearing a film some-

The story has enough plot twists to keep one's interest. The director, Rodrigo Garcia (the son of Gabriel Garcia Marquez) never lets the story linger too long on one plot line, which keeps the film moving nicely.—SJA

The Family Fang Kevin Wilson Family trees can be a bitch. Just ask Annie and Buster Fang (Child A and B). Their parents are hardcore, snobbish performance artists, who have allowed/forced their offspring into their pieces of art. Annie and Buster look down their noses at this — their parents call it art, they call it mischief, and though they try very hard, they are drawn back into the family fold, in spite of themselves.

The scenarios that Wilson puts these characters into are just hilarious (Buster, for example, as a journalist, gets half his face shot off by an adult-sized potato gun), and you'll find yourself laughing out loud frequently. The ending is a very bittersweet remedy, where art meets familial frictions. A great read. —SJA

ThreeA road sheets to the wind trip to the Edgy Rep

by Allan Sanders

By the time Lou “Looney” Mannhauser and I got to T.G.I. Friday's on Airport, we were already three sheets to the wind, from celebrating the finalization of his divorce since around 10:30 that morning. It had been a long 10 hours, and it was turning — quite literally — from a long day's journey into night … we stumbled into the restaurant past their familiar red and white awnings and bellied up to the bar, when “Looney” grabbed me by the arm and said “I need some 'tato skins. Cheers.”

“Looney” was not looney. In fact, “Looney” was as sane as any Supreme Court judge (okay, that was a questionable analogy).

But, be that as it may, “Looney” was a very normal, stand-up, straight-laced guy.

He got his nickname, not from some crazy act that got him arrested; not because he had seen “My Dinner With Andre” over 125 times; but because he was formerly employed at the Canadian Mint making currency. Hence, “Looney.”

In fact, “Looney” was something of a philosopher. He was a walking encyclopedia of Thales, Aristotle, Augustine, Locke, Hume, Kant, Nietszche, Sartre, Kripke and Searle. It was in this context that using his potato skin as a vehicle for sour cream, he said to me, “You know, Al, what would be a very interesting conversation?”

“You tell me, Looney.”

"What if, we're in Hell see? And everyone is gone. I'm not sure where they went. Maybe they finally got forgiveness, eh? But there are only two guys left … two … men … left. One of them is one of literature's great atheists, Ivan Karamazov.

Y'know, from Dostoyevsky's book. And the other … now here's the drama: the other is Adolf Hitler.” I stared at Looney, realizing that I must have lost consciousness for a moment.

“No. Seriously! Check it out, eh? The central question of the conversation is this: 'Is there forgiveness for everyone no matter how serious the crime?' And who better to have this discussion with the most evil man who ever lived, than an avowed atheist?” We requested more sour cream.

“I mean, how long is Hell supposed to last, anyway? Should even Hitler have some kind of salvation. Or better still … is it worse to be completely morally depraved enough to commit these crimes against God and man, OR to be unable to forgive the sinner, even if God could?” I was already beginning to wonder if TARTA had stopped running for the night. No, we weren't in Perrysburg ...

“That would be an incredible conversation, don't you think? I'll bet it would be pretty funny too. Not to mention controversial! Man, I'd love to be a fly on the wall of Hell for that one … wings would get pretty hot though.

Hey, I need some more skins.”

While I thought it was my alarm clock mistakenly going off at 6:30 the next morning, it was in fact my iPhone. “You know, if you were really a 'smartphone', you would be letting me sleep,” I thought, but I took the call anyway. It was Looney and he was excited — nothing exacerbates a hangover like an excited Looney.

“Hey, Panty.” (What can I say? We all have our nicknames.) “You're not going to believe this! Remember that conversation from last night? Hitler and Karamazov?

Well, Toledo Rep is doing one of their Edgy Rep readings on July 28 and you're not going to believe it! It's by some guy named Vicchio … uh, Stephen Vicchio. But wait until you hear the title! You ready?” I groaned in agreement. “It's called, 'Ivan and Adolf: The Last Man In Hell!' Dude is that wild or what? It starts at 8 o'clock.

I am SO all over that! I'll pick you up at 6, we'll get some 'skins first!”

The play? Sure, I was up for that. The skins? Eh ... maybe not so much ...

Ivan and Adolf: The Last Man in Hell will be performed on Saturday, July 28 (one day only) at Owens Community College Center for the Fine and Performing Arts, 30335 Oregon Rd. Tickets are $10. For more info, visit www.toledorep.org or call 419-243-9277.

Seeing in the dark

Art is at its best when it's pushing boundaries. One of the city's finest examples is Dark Visions 3, which is currently open, with a July 14 reception.

The annual exhibition at the Collingwood Art Center tours the dirty side of the brain, focusing on noir, fetish and horror-themed work. Curated by photographer Boyd Hambleton, the show features work by Amanda Marie, Jeff Beach, Lore-li Photography and Todd Parnell, among many others. You must be 18 to attend.

After sitting through office meetings do you check your notes later only to find a bunch of key words scribbled amongst hand-drawn butterflies, human eyes or pinwheels?

Do you have notebooks full of cartoon faces? Perhaps you are a doodler, (like yours truly). Doodling is an under-appreciated but noble art form. Many of history's major players were noted doodlers. American presidents Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton are known to have doodled during meetings in the Oval Office.

Comedian Larry David once proclaimed during his show Curb Your Enthusiasm, "I can't draw to save my life but yet I'm a very good doodler." There are many of us out there like him, draining our Bic's on inane mini-masterpieces. (Need help? Check out www.doodlersanonymous.com) This summer the Toledo Museum of Art is giving all legal pad Picassos and sticky note Warhols a chance to display their work alongside the masterpieces in the museum's collection.

The TMA’s upcoming community exhibition, Doodle, will feature visitor submitted doodles in the Community Gallery from Friday, July 27 through September 20.

How it works

The Doodle exhibit encourages the public to interact with the museum and provides an opportunity for novices and professionals alike to present their artistic expression in a friendly whimsical forum. The process is really simple. Doodle Stations are located throughout the TMA where linen-like napkins serve as blank canvasses for the doodler to explore.

Handy little drawing kits can be picked up at the museum's information kiosks. Visitors are open to explore the galleries for inspiration or take the napkin home to complete their work. Once finished, participants submit their doodle into the boxes located at the Doodle Stations in the museum. Doodles will be selected throughout the run of the show so the exhibit is continuously flowing and expanding.

has a spontaneous feel.” says Jennifer Bandeen, Manager of the Community Gallery. “It’s not art as normal. It’s fresh.

It’s reactive.”

The first stroke of genius

Bandeen, herself a confessed doodle addict, said she came up with the idea for the exhibit one day while eating in the museum’s cafe. She spilled some ink on one of her napkins and decided to do a Japanese-style doodle. She thought this might be a great way to get the community involved with the museum since anyone from little kids to professionals can participate.

“We really want the collection to inspire visitors, so if they see a face or a pattern they like we want them to run with it.”

So fellow doodlers, stop in during your lunch break (there's a Doodle Station in the TMA cafeteria) or take a napkin back to work and practice your doodle skills during your next business meeting.

Where did the title of the album, Beware, and be Grateful, come from?

difference in terms of either finding a groove or being worn down?

The title came sort of randomly. While we were working on the album, we were taking a break from recording. A couple of us would hang out, outside the studio.

It came from conversation; someone just said that phrase, "Beware, and be grateful." As we were analyzing the album and trying to figure out how to name it, that came back up as an idea. So, while it was somewhat random, it worked with a lot of themes that were at play.

We used to prefer doing a small cluster of shows, but I think as we have been putting out records and playing those records, we have found it is easier [to be on the road]. If we go a longer tour, we get in a groove. I feel like it's sort of easier to have perspective on what you are doing: to look at where you started and, in six weeks, be like, 'Oh. Yeah. We really shifted this way on a song,' or, 'We naturally gravitated that way.' It's easier to get an understanding of what we are doing. We realized there are reasons to do a long tour.

A more mellow release, it's still instrumentally exciting and musically uplifting. How did you guys strike the balance?

We've been moving along as a band for a while now; to keep making music that is challenging and exciting. We were aware these songs were a little bit more, ya know, "song songs." From the start they were much more focused and started as complete ideas, so, as we were recording, we knew on one hand the songs were going to be less frantic sounding and we tried to balance that out by experimenting with a lot more crazy sounds and effects and different instruments.

www.toledocitypaper.com

What was the toughest part of playing the new album live?

One of the big challenges of this record is that the key to the songs is locking into a certain groove together — holding that down is tough. We've always respected Motown players and soul artists and while doing these songs we have to maintain that sort of groove. It totally makes you respect those type of artists — old soul, rhythm sections and such — so much more.

Face-melting death metal isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the Athens, Ohio music scene, but that's where the internationally-touring cult heroes Skeletonwitch got their start in 2003. Really, they're everything you want in a heavy band — the angry energy, the thunderous rhythm section and those screeching lead axes that remain the cornerstone of the genre. So, leave the dubstep to the Girl Scouts and Germans and get yourself some Ohio-brewed, bass-driven shouts at the devil that'll send shivers down your spine.

Locked Down -

Dr. John I’m not a big fan of The Black Keys, but what the Keys’ guitarist Dan Auerbach does, as producer, with this project is nothing short of amazing. Dr John (aka “Mac” Rebennack) is a living legend, a pillar of the New Orleans music scene, and Auerbach slyly respects this, while taking the good Dr.’s sound to new places — not an easy trick. Heavy guitars, tape loops and other studio tomfoolery dance into your ears, while still giving the listener that ol’ Dr. John growl and his trademark N’awlins funk. ANOTHER CD TO CHECK OUT: Firin’ in Fouta Baaba Maal. Though the language is foreign, the feeling hits your heart — and your feet. —SJA

He offers 40 one-hour classes a week, including weekends, as early as 6am and as late as 7pm. There’s even a play area to keep kids busy while their parents get fit.

ARIES (March 21 - April 19) Friday the 13th doesn’t scare you. Uranus retrogrades in your sign so making schedules is difficult. You want to go to the fair and the Polish festival the 13th or 14th. The new moon on the 19th brings attention to your home.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22) Defy superstition and host a Friday the 13th party.

Try to decide whether to go to the fair, the Polish Festival, or to Delta’s Chicken Festival … maybe all three. The new moon the 19th shines on your career. Enjoy quiet the 21st and 22nd.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20) Look at your calendar to see what you were doing mid-April and finish it now. Celebrate Friday the 13th at the Lucas County Fair. Then it’s on to the Polish Festival the 14th or 15th. The new moon on the 19th shines where you think “new car.”

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) Enjoy Friday

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 20) Unless someone reminds you, you don’t

the 13th because on the 14th Mercury retrogrades and knocks the wind out of your sails.

Lots of things are going on over the weekend and you won’t miss any of those events. The new moon the 19th could bring money.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22) Catch up on

mundane chores starting the 11th. Celebrate Friday the 13th so everyone knows how brave you are. The new moon on the 19th is IN your sign. Make a list of your resolutions and put them into effect that day.

LEO (July 23 - August 22) Like you didn’t get enough excitement the last two weeks!

Beware of Friday the 13th tricks. Try to decide between the County Fair and the Polish Festival, and then just do both. Happy birthday to you on the 22nd. There may be a big surprise party.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22) You may stumble on the 11th but you recover quickly. Friday the 13th won’t scare you but the 14th will because Mercury retrogrades that day. Do some work at the weekend festivals — pass out campaign literature?

Instead of running around the weekend of the 14th and 15th, take time to work on vacation plans. Mercury retrogrades where your career is involved so double check everything that is going on there. Take a chance the 19th.

even know it’s Friday the 13th. You break the record as to how many festivals and fairs you can attend the 14th and 15th. Enjoy a trip the 21st and 22nd. Back to your boring routine the 23rd.

CAPRICORN (December 21 - January 19)

You are busy at home Friday the 13th. Enjoy the county fair on the 14th. On the 15th attend a special party. A new project the 18th and 19th doesn’t thrill you but you tackle it anyway. It is a big relief to complete it.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)

Uranus, your ruling planet, retrogrades on the 13th. It slows down and so will you. On the 14th action is in your seventh house and a partnership loses its sparkle. Add fun with a weekend trip the 20th thru the 22nd.

PISCES (February 19 - March 20) You are superstitious so stay in the closet on Friday the 13th. There may be some home repairs needed on the 14th. The weekend is good otherwise.

The new moon on the 19th helps you enjoy fun and games. Go to a new place the 22nd.

CELEBRITY CANCERS

Princess Diana was a Cancer, as is Prince William. Kellie Pickler also celebrates. Tom Cruise is a Cancer, but he doesn’t have much to celebrate right now. Locally, Channel 11’s meteorologist Robert Shiels lights candles on his cake.
