Our cover story (TCP 4/6/16) discussed the implications of Governor Kasich’s signing of House Bill 294. On Facebook, our readers shared their thoughts and feelings. To repeat from the article, "Without the grant money, Planned Parenthood will be cutting back on what appears to be the same kinds of outreach programs that the anti-abortion lawmakers are saying that we desperately need more of." How incredibly stupid of Kasich! —Bob Billstein
Guide Romance blooms in our Wedding
While I do like picking this free publication up so that I can see what’s going on around town, they are extremely liberal. The recent article about defunding Planned Parenthood should be an opinion article, not posed as a news story. Typically when presenting a hot controversial topic, both sides should be presented. This was not the case on the Planned Parenthood article. Pick it up for what it’s worth, the price is right, and you get what you pay for. Just know that you’re going to read a lot of liberal biased information when you do. —Bill Jodi Rhoads Rabquer

Can't have your cake and eat it too. —Sita Wiczynski

Kasich is mounting a national campaign— traveling around the countryside touting his brand of snake oil. We (the folks in Ohio) do not have the capacity to follow him around.

Walk through the red Tori gate in the Japanese Garden for good luck.
Garden of Earthly Delights Schedel Arboretum and Gardens in full bloom by Alison Wood–Osmun
The view from the gates only hints at the beautiful glory nurtured and crafted throughout the seventeen acres of Schedel Arboretum and Gardens. It is the former home of Joseph and Marie Schedel (1930-1989), who traveled the world and created a garden that reflected the inspiration from their travels. After their deaths, the private estate came under the care of the Schedel Foundation and has been open to the public since 1991.
Perfectly Wrought
Standing at the top of a garden’s hillside entrance offers an expansive view of the lush, living artwork. This is sheer enchantment for all your senses— each space melds exquisitely into the other as you stroll over petite wooden bridges and along curvy pathways lined with fragrant, colorful plants and flowers while an amazing thirty-foot waterfall cascades over terraced rocks. Be prepared to lose yourself as you walk through an artistic tapestry of dripping, delicate green willow tree branches and among the exquisite pink and white blooms of the cherry and crabapple trees (late April to mid May). Seldom seen evergreens, such as weeping Alaskan cedar and Bosman pine, provide a backdrop of dark needles for the landscape and the sculptures that grace the gardens. Mature dawn redwoods, bald cypress, magnolias, dogwoods and other trees provide cool dappled shade. The Japanese garden, alive with succulents, grasses and Japanese maples, was created in the 1950s by the Schedels to highlight their favorite journeys to the Far East and features

2017 Mayoral Challengers ?
Get in the back of the line Mayoral hopefuls and Anita Lopez by Johnny Hildo
Mayoral rumors are flying
Wisdom has it that incumbent Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson has been weakened by indecisiveness regarding selections for top management of the City, most of those positions are still filled with hangers-on from the Collins/ Carty administrations of years gone by. The perception of her ineffectiveness has been bolstered by the dramatic failure of the One Big Thing she has tried to accomplish during her more than one year in office, the Issue 2 proposed tax increase. The political sharks smell blood in the water, and they are circling slowly, ready to move in for the final kill. And so, the mayoral rumors are flying. Who is eyeing a run next year? If you follow all the rumors, it would be easier to list who isn’t mulling it over. Because the rumored list is long.
The A-List
Here’s what we’ve heard so far. LC Treasurer Wade Kapszukiewicz is having secretive meetings in darkened rooms to plot his takeover of the 22nd Floor. LC Commissioner Pete Gerken is using his bully pulpit to beat up on Mayor PHH and grease his own slippery path into the mayor’s seat. State Rep. Michael Ashford is biding his time, padding his war chest, and waiting for the dust to clear to come in as the consensus candidate. Then there’s term limited State Rep. Teresa Fedor, sitting on the sidelines,
www.toledocitypaper.com
awaiting an opening. And it’s no secret that Councilwoman Sandy Spang, unloved and ineffective on council, really, really wants to run her own show. Mike Bell is simply using his race for county commissioner to start his mayoral come-back run, and Councilman Tom Waniewski has been sucking up to unions to bolster his own chances. Councilwoman Lindsay Webb, also term limited, has always wanted a seat in the state house. But with young children at home, the 22nd Floor sounds pretty good for now. Fellow councilwoman and Carty acolyte Theresa Gabriel’s narcissism is so strong that she thinks she can run the City. Carty, on the other hand, has finally seen the electoral light fade and has no mayoral aspirations. Which we’ll only believe when he says it himself. Did we miss anybody? Oh yeah, the unpredictables, a cast of wingnuts and yahoos, and Opal, will be there for sure, which could lead to a wide open, spirited primary. But is there any credible candidate that has no rumors attached?
would she go next? Would she be a statewide candidate, or Marcy’s eventual replacement, or even a US Senator someday? Then she was recruited to run for mayor three years ago. Her candidacy crashed and burned, mostly because she was expected to open her mouth and form coherent sentences that coalesced into substantive thoughts. Something she clearly has much difficulty accomplishing. The rumors we’ve heard about Toledo mayor make sense. Most of these folks are either serious contenders or have run before. We haven’t heard anything
about Councilmen Peter Ujvagi, Matt Cherry, or Rob Ludeman, or Council President Steven Steel, but at least any one of them throwing a hat into the ring would also make sense. Truth be told, we would believe that any current incumbent with a decent reputation might be in the running if Paula falters. What has happened to poor Anita? She won re-election as Auditor in twenty fourteen in a landslide, albeit against an unknown first-timer. Yet if we were told that she was considering another mayoral run, we’d simply refuse to believe it. Her star has crested and winked out. She now has a reputation as a tyrannical manager. And she once asked to confer with her handlers during a press conference, which she had called after being criticized for not being able to speak without conferring with her handlers. Is the amorphous idea of her as an elected official simply more appealing than the reality of her tonguetied, Carty-lite personality? Frankly, we hope Paula is given a chance to lead, and are confident that if she seizes the chance she will prove to be steady and competent. But as the rumors fly about eager replacements, we are left to wonder something longer term. How long until Anita faces a credible, well-funded opponent, and she slips out of public office once and for all?
Catch a falling star
We can think of an obvious omission from the rumor mill: LC Auditor Anita Lopez. Here’s the oddity that strikes us. How has she become such an afterthought? Anita was once the rising star of local politics. She rose from School Board to Recorder to Auditor quickly and easily. The sky was the limit. Where

What would your last meal be?
As of now, it would be a grilled, perfectly seasoned, medium rare ribeye, an ice cold beer and in-season sliced tomatoes with sea salt.
How do you decide what to order at another restaurant? It really
depends on the restaurant and the theme. I am always willing to try a chef’s feature, but I usually go for something I don’t normally make or eat often.

Favorite ingredients to work with?
My favorite ingredients to work with are fresh herbs and vegetables.
What is the biggest difference between a great home cook and a great restaurant chef? For home cooks,
there are not set timing issues— when it’s done, it’s done. Restaurant chefs have to be able to serve a lot of food and do it in a timely manner. It has to be done perfectly or it will get sent back.
You can be a Culinary Maverick with Libbey's bakeware!
Worst kitchen injury? I stabbed myself in the thumb shucking oysters. I received five stitches.
Rosie’s Italian Grille www.toledocitypaper.com
How do you decide what to order from another restaurant? Usually I’ll
try the “feature of the day or something the restaurant is known for.

Customer favorites, The Lenny (L) and Grilled Cheese, with handmade chips.
An unassuming Michigan Street storefront hides a welcoming cafe. Themed around the dichotomy of good and evil, the menu at Saints and Sinners Cafe delivers both health-conscious and calorie-heavy dishes. Allowing customers to watch the food being prepared, the atmosphere is more reminiscent of a friend’s kitchen than a restaurant. “One of our regulars compared us to the TV show Cheers,” said the cafe’s original cook, Jason Ramm. With his office inside the building across from the main library, local attorney and co-owner Larry Dilabbio saw the vacant first floor restaurant space. Venturing into the food industry, Dilabbio with his friend and co-owner, Toby Czlapinski, renovated the downtown space, opening the sinfully appetizing Saints and Sinners in May of last year.
Friendly fare
Ramm met Czlapinski before the cafe opened and became a part of the restaurant’s team soon after. “Toby (Czlapinski) mentioned that he was opening a restaurant and I had been wanting to get back into a creative job, so it was a natural fit. He called me after the first day open and asked if I could come in the next day. The rest is history.” Saints and Sinners prides itself on buying local, with protein coming from Milo’s Meats and produce from Sam Okun. This pride is extended to the entire menu— especially the sandwiches. Recognizing the importance of social media, on weekdays, Saints and Sinners shares a daily special, usually a music-
inspired sandwich created earlier that morning by Ramm met Czlapinski. “We always start the day with inspiration, and the ideas [for daily specials] usually pop into our heads. We like to be creative and do things most people wouldn’t think of,” said the creatives behind the tongue-incheek menu. Previous specials have included the Tropic Bomb chicken sandwich, with ham and pineapple (named after a local reggae band of the same name) and the Mothership Burger, a nod to the band Parliament’s Mothership Connection album. The Mothership is notable for having Ramm’s specially-made ginger honey mustard.

Sinfully good
Playing on the good vs. bad motif of the restaurant’s name, the menu includes items that are both “sinful” and “saintly,” from whiskey-sauced sliders and heavenly fresh salads. The sandwiches on the menu are the stuff of dreams. The classic favorite, grilled cheese, is served with your choice of bread (but why choose anything other than rye?), grilled with a super-melty blend of American, cheddar and cream cheeses. The Lenny (named for a customer’s favorite) includes house-made corned beef, salami, cream and Swiss cheeses all sandwich together between a bagel, accompanied by hand-made potato chips or French fries made-to-order. To make options even more tempting, the cafe opens at 7:30am and also serves an impressive selection of breakfast foods like pancakes, breakfast sandwiches and bowls (eggs, meat, cheese and potatoes), as well as homemade sinnamon rolls (yes, that is spelled correctly). 7:30am-3pm Monday-Friday.

In observance of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day (May 4), the community has the opportunity to come together to hear harrowing, true stories during a performance of the one-act play “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” by Celeste Raspanti. Adapted from the collection of art and poetry written by children at the WWII concentration camp Terezin, the play centers around Raja, one of the children who survived. Her story tells of the true tale behind the brick internment walls of Terezin, the Nazi-chosen location to detain Jewish scholars, professionals, musicians and artists, which was used as a strategic illusion to deceive international Red Cross inspectors.10:30am Sunday, May 1 Temple Shomer Emunim, 6453 Sylvania Ave. 419-885-4461. jewishtoledo.org Free —MLR

From the Sundance Festival in Park City, Utah, to the Telluride Film Festival in Telluride, Colorado, film festivals have brought the glitz and glamour of Hollywood to small towns. Northern Ohio and Southern Michigan residents have our own film festival: The Tree City Film Festival, which will celebrate its fourth year in downtown Sylvania this April.
Festival Foundations
Jennifer Archer, Executive Director of the Sylvania Community Arts Commission and festival organizer, explained how the festival began, “A year prior to our first festival, I had been involved in a 48-hour film challenge in Detroit and just came back from it in awe of that experience. I learned a lot and I went to my board with the idea to do something like that here.” The heart of the festival is a competition similar to Archer’s original inspiration, the 50 Hour Challenge, where teams of filmmakers have 50 hours to write, film, and produce a short film. The short films, created in March with an eight minute time limit, will have their first showing to the public at this festival. “We have about 16 teams every year. It is a manageable number to be able to showcase all the films we’ve received in a nice time frame during the evening,” said Archer.
Kiddie Creations
Young filmmakers have also stepped into the fun with Shorties U, a four-weeklong program (held in March) during

which, kids from kindergarten to 12th grade learn about the filmmaking process and produced their own short film to be shown at Tree City. “What started as just wanting to do the 50 Hour Challenge, grew into the opportunity for kids to make films,” explained Archer. The Shorties have been an important part of the event since the beginning, and have also had success outside of the festival. Just last year, two Shorties U films, Locker Avengers and Little Monsters, were presented at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston during their Family Films event, a night of short films made by children all over the world.

“From day one, our strategy has been to start something that’s manageable, create a quality event, and then slowly expand what we’re doing,” Archer said. That expansion lead to this year’s Official Selections. These films are shorts from all over the world, chosen by the Arts Commission to be a part of the festival. Tree City also screens the Best Short Film nominees from this year’s Academy Awards. “After the first year, one of our committee members said we should include something that the people locally wouldn’t be able to see. You’d normally have to travel to Ann Arbor to see these,” said Archer. Experience the creative minds participating in Toledo’s filmmaking community, and see some internationally known shorts, during a full weekend of screenings.

The colors, figures and stories of Augusto Bordelois
Narrative, magic realist paintings on view at the new location of River House Arts
by Athena Cocoves
At 80”x84”, the painting “I Will Find You” certainly lives up to its name. A towering portrait, this massive oil painting by Cuban American artist Augusto Bordelois is one of many that will be on display during River House Arts’ first exhibit in their new Secor Building gallery space.
Persona non grata
A Cleveland-area resident, Bordelois moved to the United States from Cuba nearly 16 years ago while exhibiting his magical realist works internationally— part of a post-WWI Latin American movement popularized by Frida Kahlo and Jorge Luis Borges. “The good thing about magical realism is that you don’t have to think too much about how you’re going to put things together,” says Bordelois. “Some elements are traditional, some classical. You just mix everything together and see what comes out.” By fusing worldly influences, the classically trained painter combines his masterly techniques with philoso-
phy, classical figures and progressive sensibilities. In his series, “Outcast and Other Rejects,” Bordelois explores the immigrant experience and the correlative feelings of rejection and misunderstanding. “I use this outcast theme because I have never seen a person who was absolutely bad nor good,” says Bordelois. “I’m interested in showing the good in those people [in my work].”
“I Will Find You” (pictured) is one of the Cuban-American artist’s large-scale oil paintings that depict the complications of the immigrant experience.
One step at a time
In his upcoming exhibition, Bordelois will exhibit oil paintings from two of his larger series, “Outcasts and other Rejects,” and “Immigrant Stories”— created three to four paintings at a time, allowing each layer of paint to dry before adding the next. “The way that I apply paint to canvas is an indirect method. It’s the same way that oil painting was done during the Renaissance,” explained Bordelois. Using thin glazes of oil, the colors in each painting have intense depth. “Every color has been separated, one on top of another.. The color I know the paint-
ing will finish with is not the color I put first— it’s the color I know I have to accomplish at the end.” To stay psychologically intimate with the concept of each series, Bordelois relies on his personal writing and sketches to get into the mood of the series. “I write a lot of poetry, little essays, songs, and things like that. They don’t really describe my paintings… but they give me a serious center,” he says. In making these specific moods physical, Bordelois achieves what few artists do— palpable works that are nearly
intrusive. Whether you like it or not, the meaning will find you. Join Bordelois for Cuban cocktails served up by The Registry Bistro during the opening reception, 6-9pm, on Thursday, April 21 during the 3rd Thursday Art Loop. Through June 4.

Get On Up!
Classic funk and soul to rock Ohio Theatre by Jeff McGinnis A family band with over a century of tradition to its name. A critically acclaimed headliners with a myriad of musical influences. A living legend returning to the stage after a decades long absence. Third Coast Kings, Gabriel Brass Band and Gloria Ann Taylor— these three respected acts with deep roots in the sound of the 70s will take to the stage as part of Get On Up!: The Ohio Theatre Funk and Soul Revue on Saturday, April 23.
Gabriel Brass Band
Soul is a family affair for the Gabriel Brass Band. Hailing from Detroit with roots in the classic sound of the Bayou, the Gabriels are part of a long lineage of musicians dating back to 1850s New Orleans. Band leader and trumpeter, Dameon Gabriel, is a sixth generation player, and this latest iteration of his family’s legacy carries a bold, brassy sound that blends southern jazz with a Detroit flair. “I think any audience with a pulse can enjoy this music,” Gabriel said. “The rhythm, energy, and the feel just makes you want to move.”
Gloria Ann Taylor
Toledo native Gloria Ann Taylor is a Grammy nominated legend of early ‘70s soul whose recordings, such as “Love is a Hurtin’ Thing”, have become coveted collectors’ items. Taylor retired in 1977 and has since shied away from the spotlight, but will appear during the intermission, giving a rare public performance. “Doing the music was too much for me,” Taylor said. “It was nervewracking, and I had to let it go for a while.” Fans will be delighted to learn that this appearance may be just the first step of a whole new musical journey for Taylor. She has been working on new tracks for the first time in nearly four decades. “For a while, I had let it go. But you just can’t let something go that should be. And the music that I have coming out next, has a lot of gospel in it. It’s all in the will of God.”

“ We, at Fat Fish Blue, are so grateful to be recognized as the Best of Toledo! It is so great to be able to service our city and provide a fun place for our guests to laugh, dance, eat, and enjoy themselves! Thanks Toledo!”
(1) Mulvaney’s Bunker on Dorr St. is my secret spot. • I go to the Docks for the best view in Toledo. • When out of towners visit us, I always take them to Palacio Maya Mexican Restaurant (5125 Monroe St.) for the best margaritas in Toledo. • (2) The artists and musicians I love are local R&B sensation Tracy Haynes and songstress Carmen Miller. • If money wasn’t an object, I would build a waterpark for the Toledo children. If the kids volunteer at the park, they would receive a yearly pass. • I always brag about Toledo’s diverse festivals for all ethnicities. • My favorite night out in Toledo was at the City Paper’s Best of Toledo 2015 awards.

Samantha had tried alternatives and hadn’t found a solution. Until she visited Tamara TCM. Hear what she had to say:
STYLE SENSE by Monique Ward
Jesse Duckworth
“Wouldn’t go anywhere else. I totally trust Tamara. She does wonders for my headaches and is so easy to talk to. I feel very relaxed in her care. The office staff is very friendly.”
Age: 43 Occupation: Assistant Principal at Bowsher High School and Manager/Lead Singer of FU5ION (2015 Toledo City Paper readers voted Best Toledo Band) Imagine, it’s a Saturday night and you’re about to get on stage to sing at one of Toledo’s nightclubs. Wearing a fitted-tee and faded Levi’s, a black fedora tops off the urban look. You come off as a ladies man. Fast forward to Monday and you wake up, put on a pair of freshly pressed black slacks, a crimson button-up and throw on a mocha page boy cap to head to your main gig. Not as the lead singer of Toledo’s awarding-winning band FU5ION, but as the assistant principal of Bowsher High School.

- Samantha, Toledo Patient
With a humble personality and dapper style, Jesse Duckworth balances his career as an assistant principal of Bowsher High School while operating as manager and lead singer of FU5ION.
Does being a school administrator affect your daily style?
There is a certain standard that you have to maintain when you work in a school so that the students respect you. The funny thing is, when they see me outside of the school setting, they freak out because I’m wearing jeans or a baseball cap.
What are the pieces in your closet that make you stand out?
My hat collection. I never leave the house without a baseball or newsboy cap or fedora. Button-up shirts fill up my closet. I probably have more than 50 of them with plaid, polka dots, stripes and more in a variety of colors.
TCM Wellness Clinic 27068 Oakmead Dr. Perrysburg 43551 419-345-4996 www.TamaraTCM.com
How does your band performance attire differ from your work attire?
I’m more casual on stage. I enjoy wearing fitted v-neck graphic tees. As a male singer, I believe the fans expect me to present myself in a certain fashion— I do my best to deliver that.
