The winter of our discontent

Level 3 leadership emergency in City Politics

By Johnny Hildo It’s official, folks. This winter was definitely one for the record books.

You probably already know that we shattered the record, totaling over 7 feet of the fluffy stuff. Over a yard of snow in January alone exceeded the average total. All said, we were over 4-feet greater than average. The winter also was over 7 degrees colder than average, with 25 subzero days in January and February alone.

All this combined to make this the worst Toledo winter in recorded history, and at least one national source has deemed Toledo’s the most miserable winter for any major U.S. city.

So much for the worst of times. What did all this misery have to do with city politics?

The weather outside is frightful

Let’s start with school cancellations. Schools across the area far exceeded their allotment of “calamity” days.

Most school systems build an extra five such days in their calendars, rarely used in recent winters. This go-round, some local districts went deep into the double digits on days off due to uncooperative weather.

One might think this would lead to applause for keeping the safety of our children uppermost in decisionmaking. But never underestimate the right-wingers in Columbus’ ability to politicize every situation. Thus, the

www.toledocitypaper.com

disastrous winter has led to self-righteous hand-wringing about whether teachers should be paid for days they don’t teach, how to hold these miscreants accountable and whether anything can possibly make up for the immeasurable damage done to the educational year.

Unstated was whether our esteemed legislators should be paid for meetings they don’t attend and sessions cut short for campaigning, how to hold these miscreants accountable and whether anything can possibly make up for the immeasurable damage their continuous politicizing has done to public education, period.

The county response to the dangers of navigating roadways in the snowiest winter on record is the county’s emergency preparedness decision-makers, tasked with declaring snow emergency levels based on perceived dangers for would-be-travelers.

Did you notice how the snow emergency levels seemed to oscillate between Level Two, which means you should only drive if absolutely necessary, and Level Three, which means no one but emergency personnel should be on the roads? Remember those nights when the level was already elevated before the snow started, only to be lowered just as the blizzard peaked the next morning and quickly raised again just after you got to work?

If we didn’t know better, we’d think the decisions were made in a capricious manner, with very little actual policy driving them. Which we’re pretty sure is exactly the case.

A more cynical group might think the levels were deliberately lowered to get folks to work then raised again to keep ’em there. But that would attribute an unwarranted level of sophistication to decision-makers.

Snow job

Contrast the bumbling of the snow emergency levels with the crisp and efficient decision-making by city

March 26 • April 08

officials responding to the loads of white stuff dumped on our fair burgh. This should come as no surprise, since the voters of Toledo had the foresight to place a former beat cop on the 22nd Floor.

Uncle Dennis, at his finest in these emergency situations, calmly deployed snow removal equipment far and wide. He called in every city vehicle, large and small, with the capacity to move snow. He demanded overtime until the snow was safely dispatched and authorized the hiring of private snow plows to supplement those of the public domain.

We must give credit where credit is due here. Oh, how the snow was cleared! It never had a fighting chance before the decisive maneuverings of our good ol’ Uncle Dennis.

Or perhaps we should give debit where debit is due.

All that decisive snow shoving came at quite the hefty price tag. Like a cool four mil. But don’t worry. This doesn’t affect the city’s general fund budget, which Uncle D put on the back burner while he fought the fluff.

No, his budget is quite the shambles, and he didn’t get it to Council until mere weeks before they, according to the requirements of the City Charter, must pass it. But snow removal is assessed on property taxes, with a lag time of two years. So the bill doesn’t come due ’til far into the future.

Stay focused on Hizzoner’s snow tactics, then. Forget the inability to deal with the potholes, the sinkholes, the water main breaks, the budget that closes pools and ice rinks but gives pay raises. Stay focused on the worst winter in history and forget the rest.

Now that’s the ultimate snow job.

Bar Nachos Shrimp Tempura Let’s face it, nachos have a bad reputation in the culinary world. From stale ballpark chips to drunken late-night concoctions, the preparation of nachos is usually treated with the same level of focus as shoveling your neighbor’s drive-way. Not so at Bar 145, where nachos have been elevated to new culinary heights.

Tortilla chips topped with locally-sourced goat cheese, duck confit, bing cherries, smoked gouda and sweet chili sauce create a bar menu masterpiece that titillates the taste buds with layers of flavor.

This Pan-Asian fusion spot serves up a simply elegant shrimp tempura, an homage to the Japanese culinary staple: five pieces of lightly breaded shrimp ready to dip in soy sauce and wasabi.

Careful: It’s hot … and good After 1,000 years, hot pot cooking arrives in Toledo

By Michael Pierce

The Asian tradition of cooking with hot pots dates back over a millennium, taking root first in Mongolia and then expanding century after century across China. As of January 2014, this communal cooking tradition has arrived in the Toledo area.

Hot Pot & Asian Grill opened its doors Jan. 1 and is giving area diners a taste of Asian fusion cuisine with a twist: patrons become cooks, preparing their meals on their own tabletops. By cooking at the table, patrons are ensured that their food is not only hot, but spiced to their individual tastes. Several tables are equipped with a large burner, allowing a group to share a single meal.

Located at Talmadge Road near Sylvania Avenue, the restaurant features culinary styles from China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Indonesia, as well as four cooking options: Asian grilling, stir-fried fire pot, hot pot and sizzle (cooked by the pros in the kitchen).

Asian grilling adheres to traditional grilling techniques, with items cooked at your table on a grill above a flame. Stir-fried fire pot also takes place at the table, using a Szechuan cooking style that produces food with more spice and stronger flavor. The hot pot cooking style begins with a boiling soup brought to your table, to which guests add items of their choice. Start by selecting a pot flavor, and then add meats and/or seafood,

But the hot pots themselves do deserve a try. The Szechuan lamb, coupled with broccoli, mushrooms, corn, cilantro, fried tofu and steamed rice, made for a tasty dish.

As for appetizers and dessert, the fried wontons and green tea ice cream were delicious, and are reason

Anderson’s return

They just don’t make directors like Wes Anderson anymore. For one, he wears a safari jacket… Who wears a safari jacket? Adventurous people, that’s who.

For another, his quirky visual palate, knack for huge ensemble casts and dollhouse-style cinematography have earned him a loyal legion of fans. How loyal? His rabid supporters drove ticket sales for his latest film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, to more than $800,000 on its opening weekend... on just four screens. That’s a lot of fans. The comedy stars Ralph Fiennes as a concierge dealing with the theft of a Renaissance painting at the titular hotel. The closest screen to Toledo is Ann Arbor, so take a date and see what all the hipsters are raving about. 8:30pm and 8:45pm. Opens Thursday, March 27. $10. The State Theater, 233 S.

Hearts of glass

Local thespians sharpen Tennessee Williams’ edge

By Joseph Schafer The Glass Menagerie, is one of the most-performed family dramas of the 20th century. It’s also a tough play; its story has a real emotional bite. The 1944 play, which launched the superstardom of playwright Tennessee Williams, tells the story of an all-too-believable dysfunctional family: a reclusive daughter, a restless son and an overbearing mother. They go through turmoil when their daughter receives a gentleman caller.

This will be Rep alumni Jim Albright’s first time directing “The Glass Menagerie”—a daunting task. There are no definite climaxes, no moments of catharsis. “This play doesn’t explode, but life isn’t always a bunch of big explosions,” said Albright, who is familiar with the challenge of bringing Williams to life in Toledo, having played Big Daddy Pollitt in the Rep’s 2008 production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. In that production, he shared the stage with Kate Abu-Absi, who will play Amanda, the overbearing mother in The Glass Menagerie.

A glass cougar

Albright’s own life shares parallels with that of Amanda. “The play takes place in 1937—my maternal grandmother was widowed in 1937 [...] she had a boy and a girl, like Amanda,” Albright said.

Maybe that’s why he has taken special considerations for the character. He decided to cast the younger Abu-Absi although the part usually casts a more senior actress. “Part of making Amanda not a villain is understanding that she’s a woman who, in her prime, is left alone and has no options. I think of my grandmother; she was a young women who had to fend for herself and raise [her children.]”

That decision paid in surprising ways, Albright said. He related one particular scene that he believes will interest the audience. “There’s a moment when Amanda and The Gentleman Caller are

together on a bed, where it’s achingly sort of like ‘Summer of '42’ or ‘The Graduate,’ with an older women and a younger man.

There's a moment of sexual energy where if the character is played by an older woman, it could be pathetic. But when it’s played by a younger woman, there’s vitality left.”

A fragile tension

Albright’s familiarity with the cast comes from his direction of The Rep's 2010 production of “Chapter 2,” which featured Abu-Absi alongside Elizabeth Cottle, who play the fragile daughter, Laura. “To me, Elizabeth was born to play this role,” Albright said. “It came down to a fragility to her person that isn’t pathetic.”

Cottle has never seen The Glass Menagerie performed, which might work in her favor. “Not having seen it before gives me the options to interpret it as I like.

I have myself to go on and Jeff's wonderful direction,” Cottle said. “My biggest challenge is finding the vulnerability about her character. [...] There’s an extreme genuine part of her.”

Cottle’s other challenge will be holding her own with Abu-Absi. “I look up to Kate as an actress; so in this show, having her play my mother almost creates a familial quality, but also a very subtle competitive edge,” she said.

All of this tension—familial, sexual and dramatic—will collide when “The Glass Menagerie” plays for two weekends.

Abu-Abisi and Cottle will join James MacFarlane as Tom on the stage. With the commitment of Albright, Cottle and the rest of the cast and crew, it promises to be a strong rendition of an American classic.

“The Glass Menagerie” premieres Friday, April 4, and runs through Sunday, April 13. Shows: 8pm Thursday-Saturday; 2:30pm Sunday. $20, $18 seniors, $10 students, $5 children. The Toledo Repertoire Theatre, 16 10th St. 419-243-9277. toledorep.org.

It’s alive

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the first horror novel, is getting an original theater adaptation at Bowling Green State University, this time staged with puppets. Don’t think that means this will be a lighthearted or cheesy affair: The original “Frankenstein” is a dismal and terrifying book even by today's standards, and BGSU’s Department of Theatre and Film has promised this will be a dark and faithful adaptation. That means no lightning strikes, a monster that can speak and lots of strangling. Premieres Thursday, March 27. 8pm March 28-29 and April 3-5; 2pm on March 29-30 and April 5. $10. Eva Marie Saint Theatre, Wolfe Center for the Arts, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green.

The care and craft an author puts into a novel may be equal to the care and craft a brewmaster puts into an artisan beer.

That’s why Brandon Doriot, co-owner and Bartender of The Local (as well as Toledo City Paper's social media manager), is encouraging literati to pair good novels with craft beer as part of “Rough Drafts.” The book club meets once a month to discuss a novel between sips of appropriate suds. Maybe a Russian Imperial Stout to go with a little Dostoyevsky, or a Summer Shandy with one of William Faulkner’s southern gothics. The next book on the group’s list will be Mark Z. Danielewski’s experimental horror yarn House of Leaves. “Rough Drafts” meets the second Thursday of each month. Next meeting: April 10. 7pm.

Enthusiasm’s fire Jan Pugh passes the torch

By Christian Usera

Jan Pugh (L) sold her pottery studio to her protege, Julie Harbal (R) but will continue to add her creative touch “The spark hit me at the age of 14 when I saw a Japanese woman on TV making a pot on the wheel. I was completely in love,” recounted Jan Pugh, head potter at Packer Creek Pottery.

Pugh began her own gallery specializing in majolica (pronounced muh-jol-ikuh), a painterly style of pottery glazing.

The glazed earthenware is fired to 2000 degrees before dipping the items in an opaque white glaze and fired a second time, with the colorful results. Now, after years as one of the region’s most prominent potters, Pugh is passing the torch.

She recently sold her Genoa-based studio/gallery, Packer Creek Pottery to her protege, Julie Harbal.

Pugh has been creating her pottery since the 1970s, when she worked late into the night at a warehouse her parents owned. She purchased a studio and showroom space in 1980, followed by buying a separate building to partition her studio and showroom in 1996.

Handing over the reigns

After 34 years, it seemed an appropriate time to step back from the business, Pugh said. While Pugh will remain involved in pottery design, Harbal will run the business. Pugh is confident that Harbal is up to the challenge-after all, she stoked Harbal’s passion for pottery in the first place.

“I met Jan when I was around the age of 10,” says Harbal. “I grew up in Genoa, Ohio, and my mom was a big fan of Jan’s work. I used to love going to her shop and looking at all the beautiful pieces. It really made an impact on me and I knew I had to work there. So when I turned 14,

32

March 26 • April 08

I would call her often and ask if she had any job openings. One day, to my utter delight, she said ‘Yes!’” That enthusiasm prompted Harbal to attend Bowling Green State University to earn a bachelor’s degree in fine arts, later obtaining a master’s degree in business also from BGSU. She paired her fine arts skills with a business degree to balance her creativity with entrepreneurship. “For me, art and business go hand and hand. I believe all artists are inherently entrepreneurs. Both allow for avenues of ideation and creativity,” she said. It is this emphasis on business that prompted Pugh to hand the financial reins of the company over to Harbal, in order to focus on her craft, family and traveling.

Harbal takes the responsibility seriously. “I have a passion for the shop. I plan on continuing the tradition of creativity and quality of Packer Creek Pottery, while implementing improvements to nurture and support the growth of the business,” Harbal said.

“With Julie onboard, I am now able to continue in the creative side of the business and have more time for friends and family. I would love to further explore the roots and traditions of majolica pottery by traveling to Italy and Majorca, Spain [where the art form originated],” said Pugh of her newfound free time. It has been a long journey since setting up her small studio in her parent’s warehouse.

California dreamin’

Grammy-nominated Sue Raney brings the “Great American Songbook” to the Valentine Theatre

By Griffin Messer-Kruse Grammy-nominated singer Sue Raney signed her first record deal with Capitol Records in 1958 at the young age of 17.

Now 73, Raney is still recording music and performing concerts. She began her career as a country music performer before progressing in style to the Great American Songbook (music from Broadway and Hollywood) and eventually into her own as a jazz singer. In the 1990s, Raney sang with the L.A. Voices and Supersax as well as The Bill Watrous big band. On Saturday, March 29, Raney will travel from California to perform at the Valentine Theatre with the Toledo Jazz Orchestra for "Hollywood Comes to Toledo." The City Paper had the chance to ask her about the challenges of rehearsals, her favorite songs to sing and her love of the live performance.

Have you performed before at the Valentine?

No, I haven't. I performed in Toledo years ago at a small club, but I can't remember the exact venue. I am really excited to perform and work with the Toledo Jazz Orchestra, though!

Are there any other shows scheduled besides Detroit and Toledo?

Those are the only two in that direction! [laughs]. I'll play the Jazz Cafe in Detroit on Friday and then it is off to Toledo on Saturday. After that, I go back home to California and I will perform in Carmel at a fundraiser for Doris Day, who I have recorded a tribute album for.

How much preparation will go into this show? Are there lots of rehearsals or can you perform on the fly?

There has been sheet music all over my floor for weeks. At the Valentine, we are going to perform two whole sets of music with an intermission. I've put together some songs that I performed a long time ago and some stuff that is more recent. But for the older stuff, I put it on tape to make sure I remember how to sing it properly! It's important to get it fresh in the mind again if you haven't performed the material for a few years.

www.toledocitypaper.com

Do you have any pre-show warmups or rituals?

I take a tape recorder with me, and I have my voice exercises on tape. I also teach, so I know how important it is to warm up your voice. So that is a ritual that I go through that is not only good for my voice, but also gives me the confidence to perform at my best.

Are there any particular songs you are really excited to perform in Toledo?

I've got one that I like to do that appeared on one of my first records called "How About Me" that is really challenging vocally. I also have a couple arrangements by Patrick Williams, such as "Living the Canary Life," that I really enjoy performing.

Do you prefer live performance or recording for an album?

I really feel comfortable in the studio because I had a jingle company a few years ago where I did a lot of studio work. You can go in with your jeans on and your old shoes and just be comfortable. But performance is also very rewarding. I sometimes get a little overwhelmed before going onstage, even after this many times. But there is something that happens onstage between the performer and the audience—when you feel the warmth of the people—it is an experience unto itself. I kind of like them both!

PLAY BOOK Beer and Bible

A craft brewery and the church that inspired it

By Dorian Slaybod It wasn’t the first time I drank beer in a church, but it was the first time I drank very good beer in a church. Out of an unlabeled bottle, I was poured a scotch ale aged with Macallan Scotch Whisky-soaked oak. My glass became as dark brown as the arches in Threshold Church’s vaulted ceiling above me. The beer’s initial alcohol bit into maple, honey and toffee. It had a clean, oak finish. The beer was brewed

by Scott Biddle, one of the four partners of Black Cloister, a brewery coming to downtown Toledo. Biddle is also the worship leader at Threshold, the church holding the evening’s beer tasting. Threshold is an Evangelical Lutheran church centered around college students. When, and if, Black Cloister makes enough profits to make distributions to its investors, the business’s bylaws designate that Threshold Church will receive a payout as well.

Black Cloister will open its doors this summer at the corner of Monroe and Erie in the refurbished, 100-year-old Block Building, in a beautiful space filled with brick archways. Their tap room will serve an American Pale Ale, a Belgian Blonde, a wheat beer and a rotating assortment of seasonals. “It is our intention to have exceptional beer,” said Biddle.

Brewing will be handled primarily by two of Biddle’s partners, Bob Hall and Tom Schaeffer. Hall has been brewing beer for 43 years. Schaeffer is the former head of the Glass City Mashers, a beer brewing club, and he is taking an online course from the University of Oklahoma on the chemistry of beer. They plan to brew using a fastidious “step-matching” technique, where heat and ingredients are closely paired through intricate steps.

They believe that their care and concern for detail will make a better beer, a beer that will one day help support a church focused around college students.

dents to meet one another. “It provides a healthy social aspect [to college life],” said Danielle Rice, a fourth-year bio-engineering student at the University of Toledo.

The church also involves students with community service, like the free pancake breakfasts it holds in struggling city neighborhoods.

Tom Schaeffer, 51, is Black Cloister’s chief executive, Threshold’s founding pastor and a Lutheran minister. He sports a frosty white fauxhawk, and speaks easily to young adults still searching to find themselves. “Everyone comes [to Threshold] with their own suitcase of stuff, and we’re cool with that,” said Schaeffer.

“We are respectfully irreverent,” said Michael Kennedy, Black Cloister’s fourth business partner. It is a fitting description for a brewery with a business plan to support a ministry largely attended by college students. Threshold has nothing to lose by affiliating with Black Cloister, or if the brewery fails to make a profit. Instead, the church has everything to gain. The church has no money invested, but will receive 20 percent of dividends, as if it were a onefifth investor. “It is more about what the

Bob Hall (above) and Scott Biddle (right) are brewing up some fun, with an ecclesiastical flavor money can enable students to do for others,” Schaeffer said. “We want a sense of community beyond ourselves.”

Black Cloister will start that community this summer, when they begin pouring hand-crafted beers to a hop-thirsty city to support a young church that will grow right along with it.

Dorian Slaybod is 27, a local attorney and happily living in Toledo.

A ministry for students

On a Sunday morning in the city of Rossford at Threshold Church, after a sermon on the topic of Lent, Scott Biddle ripped an original electric guitar ballad with the amplifiers turned high. Biddle dresses like a member of Green Day. His black hoodie and Vans matched his black glasses and chain wallet. With a shaved head, his ginger beard and arm tattoos provide his few contrasts of color. Families and early 20-somethings stood and sang along. “People have an impression of what church is,” said Eric Johnson, Threshold’s director of college ministry, “[but] Church is more than Sunday morning.”

Threshold Church started four years ago as a youthful offshoot of St. Paul’s in Maumee. They bounced around to a few locations before settling into the former home of a Catholic church on Maple Street. The church provides home-cooked meals and opportunities for college stu-

STYLE SENSE

Interview by Jordan Killam

Angela Sawasky

Time to pARTy!

Hair stylist

Lovers of art (not to mention good food and fun) celebrated together March 15 at “The Mix,” the can’t-miss annual fundraiser organized by The Arts Commission. Hundreds strolled among food and silent-auction stations, while listening to live music and observing awe-inspring circus performers.

Angela Sawasky shows us that you don’t have to be a celebrity to look fabulous during pregnancy… and you don’t have to break the bank! This is the second time she has dressed her bump and we love Angela’s fierce approach to maternity fashion. She wears what she wants and she stays true to herself.

This is not your first rodeo. Are you more keen to experiment with fashion during this pregnancy than before?

I hate compromising on my personal style, so creativity has been key with both of my pregnancies.

Deborah and Clif Porter

What is the biggest myth you’ve found about maternity fashions?

The sizes are made for the last half of pregnancy! I find that most maternity clothing is not for fashion risk-takers. It’s not daring or edgy enough for me.

What has been your saving grace this time around in terms of wardrobe staples?

Mary Larkin, Susan Wilson and Libbey Call

The boxier, more flowing and urbane styles that are happening right now have been saving me left and right. Also, I broke down and bought a pair of leather-look maternity leggings. I couldn’t resist!

Tricia Swemba and Phil Hazard

You prefer a style that is more punk/

glam than girly/romantic. Was it difficult to find maternity clothes to suit your taste?

YES! Online shops like ASOS have been a godsend. H&M also just came out with a maternity line that’s a little edgier than average maternity wear.

Kaiko and John Zureich

Cha-cha-cha!

Dennis Norman and Margy Trumbull

These parties are held on the third Sunday of every month and feature a dance lesson then a party with the Big Band, Night Session. The entire range of dance music is played, which gives guests plenty of time to practice their steps and what they learned in their classes.
