Surround yourself in fall’s glory on these Toledo Area Metroparks’ Trails. Mingle with the shifting sand dunes on Oak Opening’s 1.7-mile Sand Dune Red Trail and on Secor’s .9-mile Meadow Green Trail’s open fields. They highlight gorgeously wrought seed heads and pods on native plants and grasses.

THE BEST MARGARITA
David, Oliver and Piper Padget at the little library in Old Orchard
TWO YEARS IN A ROW!
Little libraries
MARGARITA TUESDAYS 11AM - 9PM $2.60
Take a book, leave a book concept grows in the Toledo community by Laura Kretz A year ago, Old Orchard resident Heather Meyer and her family traveled to Milwaukee, WI. During her trip, she came across a little box labeled “Free Library,” filled with books in the front yard of someone’s home. Meyer did her research and discovered that this trend exists in a number of cities, and is known as “Little Library” or “Free Library.” Books are made available, free for the taking, and housed in a protected box for passersby to ‘borrow’ and read. Looking through Pinterest, she learned how to design and weather-proof the library boxes, learning details like the suggested size, number of shelves and height for hanging these miniature libraries.
Building with books
When Meyer talked with her friend and neighbor Brooke Padgett, she became more passionate about bringing the project to her area. Padgett had already heard about the little library concept and she wanted one for her neighborhood. “Being an educator, any chance that you can give a child to read or a parent to sit down with a child is very important,” said Padgett. So this summer, Meyer and Padgett, with the help of their handymen husbands, built their little libraries. The families upcycled an old jewelry box and a cooler, making the construction costs very minimal. The Meyers’ library is whimsical, with a lovely peace sign painted on one side. The Padgetts’ is just as intriguing, and is even accompanied by a bench, allowing bibliophiles to sit while reading their newfound books. “It’s been this wonderful community addition,” said Meyer. “It would be great if more neighbors did it.” Meyer, co-president of the Old Orchard Mom’s Group, also involves her daughter Ella with the little library. She takes inventory and donates some of her books to the cause. “I think it’s important that the kids
www.toledocitypaper.com
are giving their books so that somebody else may enjoy them,” said Meyer. Community residents, both young and old, are enjoying these little libraries. Meyer recalled seeing two older women discovering the library in front of her home, giggling at the idea, then happily taking a book. “We have a lot of retired neighbors stop and talk to us,” said Meyer. “It’s been great fun, meeting different people out here.”
HAPPY HOUR DAILY 11AM - 6PM 419.841.7253 7742 W. Bancroft (1 Mile West of McCord) www.toledostripletreat.com/ventura/ HOURS MON - THURS: 11AM - 11PM | FRI -SAT: 11AM - MIDNIGHT | SUNDAY CLOSED
Tiny success
The Meyer family checks on their little library every other day and restocks it frequently from their own collection of books. From music books to children’s stories, they are always surprised by the types of books that end up, through exchanges or donations, in their little library. Sometimes, their books even make their way to Padgett’s little library. Sylvania resident Marilyn Machosky is also involved with the Little Library organization, and officially registered hers at 6108 Rockdale Lane in December 2012. “It continues to do well, and it is visited quite often by adults and children, especially this summer,” said Machosky. “A fun glimpse of it this summer was seeing a little boy pull a book out and plop down on the grass and read the book right there.” Despite their success, little libraries don’t compete with traditional, publicly funded libraries. More importantly, they bring immediate fellowship to Toledoans who share the love of knowledge. “The sense of community is so important, and this is just one small way you can build it,” said Padgett. “I look forward to seeing what ideas other people have in order to bring everybody closer together.” Know of other little libraries in the city?

Anything for a pizza
Units responded to a forgery call on Sunday, September 14, when a pizza deliveryman from Toledo received a fake $20 bill. The victim said he delivered the pizza to the suspect and did not realize the bill was forged until he looked at it under the store light. He called the suspect and informed him the bill he paid with was forged. The suspect responded by saying, “It’s not my f---ing problem I got that from the bank.”
Floral fail
A Texas woman reported on Thursday, September 11, that $350 worth of flowers were purchased from Bartz Viviano in Toledo with her stolen credit card. The woman was on vacation in Naples, FL when a man, who stated he was the general manager of the hotel, said he needed another credit card number for the room. After giving him her Wells Fargo debit card number and attempting to buy groceries soon after, her card was declined.
Bicycle bitch
On Thursday, September 18, a Toledo woman was walking to the library, when a 16 to 17year-old male wearing a camouflaged jacket rode by on his bicycle and attempted to take her purse. She held onto the purse, but the suspect pushed her to the ground. After telling him she was calling the police, he called her a “bitch” and rode south on Franklin Rd.

Get your game face on, it’s almost time for the big job interview. But don’t get too anxious, peeps, ‘cause this time you’re on the giving end. It’s election time here in ol’ Froggy Bottom, and that means you get to select just the right candidates for all those elected positions. Don’t tell us you don’t think of elections as job placement? That explains a whole heckuva lot. It’s one month ‘til Election Day, and early voting has already started. This is the time of year the candidates send out literature, go door to door, and show up at tailgate parties and prayer meetin’s. They go on radio and television tootin’ their tin horns. And you’ve never asked for a resume? Face it, kidz. Elected positions are jobs, with specific responsibilities, and you get to decide who fills ‘em. It’s high time to start treating elections that way. Otherwise we’ll keep getting the same ol’ nut hatches who seem great as their smiling mugs float by in soft focus on the television screen, but then are completely ill-equipped to do the actual job they were hired to do.
Experience required
It’s all about job description. Take Lucas County Auditor, for example. Incumbent Anita Lopez has run the office for two terms and is seeking re-election. Prior to becoming Auditor, she served as Lucas County Recorder. She has also served on the Toledo Board of Education and has a law degree from the University of Toledo. Now she’s being challenged by an employee in her office, an appraiser named John Navarre. He claims to be better equipped to be Auditor by virtue of being a certified appraiser and having seen the appraisal process from the inside. Sounds pretty convincing. That is, until you think of the election for Auditor as a job interview. C’mon in, Mr. Navarre, sit down, let’s take a look at that resume. Now the job of Auditor is a political one, with lots of outside pressure. It’s imperative that you have a good support group to help you make choices in the best interests of the citizens when the going gets tough. Have you ever had to deal with tough political pressure in your previous work experience? No? Well, the job also means you must make frequent media appearances, because you are basically the face of the office. Any experience there? No, taking pictures of houses and going back to your

o to mill: J-F gh it. r o m u r throu Hildo ut sleep resign, b d. e Be warn cubicle doesn’t really count. Hmm, then there’s the fact that the Auditor is mostly an administrator. The job entails overseeing office management, making personnel decisions, including dealing with union contracts. Have you ever been in charge of a large organization that is constantly in the public eye? Yes, Mr. Navarre, we know you have the same last name as a beloved former police chief, but that doesn’t really recommend you in particular, now does it? Let’s see. The Auditor must also think of ways to innovate, to update the office to keep up with changing times. What are your ideas there? Do a better job of appraising property values? But isn’t that already your job? And you say that isn’t being done well? Mr. Navarre, perhaps you didn’t read the job description before you applied for the position. You are clearly not qualified. You should stay exactly where you are, in the cubby in the back, and do let’s start performing our job there a bit better, huh? There’s the boy!
Co-Generation X
Then there's the City's Co-Gen facility, the one that was supposed to use gas from the decomposing landfill to generate all the electricity needed by the sewage treatment and water treatment plants, with lots left over to sell on the open market. And everyone would be tall and beautiful, with good teeth, and the rain would taste like sugar candy. Seems every high profile elected official in the last fifteen years made some boneheaded decision or other on that toogood-to-be-true boondoggle that was too good to be true. See? You should have added that question to the job interview. Messrs. Finklestinker, Ford, and Bell, oh, and you too, Mr. Gerken, have you ever overseen a major energy system installation in your previous jobs? No, Mr. Finklestinker, afterdinner flatulence doesn't count, although that does generate methane. Not enough to run the massive turbine Mr. Ford approved, probably while he was asleep. Because no one asked that simple question; the price tag somehow exploded from $5 million to over $30 million and counting, and none of these knuckleheads seem to know why. Councilmember Lindsay Webb sez she has questions, though. Like why there isn't enough methane to power the plant. On second thought, Mr. Finklestinker, maybe we could use a bit more of that flatulence after all.

O
ver the last decade, urban landscapes across the U.S. have seen an uptick in public green space used for allowing dogs to roam freely with other dogs—no leashes required. The growing desire of urban residents to have a place where their dogs can socialize has lead to the rise in popularity of the ‘dog park’. Thanks to the efforts of the non-profit organization Toledo Unleashed, as well as significant contributions from community members, Glass City Dog Park is finally available for residents, and their pets, to enjoy. “I love this city, I grew up here . . . I taught in Toledo for 36 years. This is my community,” said Toledo Unleashed President Tina Yoppolo.
“Toledo was the largest city in the country without a dog park, but that’s no longer the case.” Where it all began Toledo Unleashed was formed in 2009 with the goal of opening the first dog park in the city. The group has worked for five years to secure the land for the park, develop a plan for the site, and to find donors. “I’m a retired educator and I’ve always depended on research to make the best decisions,” said Yoppolo. “There’s a park in Bowling Green. The next closest parks in Ohio are in Defiance and Danbury. But most of those parks are just a fenced-in lot.”
Dog e n Good Go
The project received a major uplift in May when Steve Serchuk, a Toledo commercial real estate investor, jumped onboard. “I’ve been involved with the animal welfare movement for over 20 years,” Serchuk said about his interest in the park. He has a long history of interest in the wellbeing of animals, including service on the board of directors for the Toledo Area Humane Society for five years. Serchuk was also involved with Humane Ohio, a spay/neuter clinic for low-income pet owners. He served with the Lucas County Dog Warden Citizens Advisory Committee, and is now chairman of the board for Toledo Unleashed. “I’ve always had a big interest in animal welfare, and I’ve been a strong financial supporter for most of the groups in town,” he said.

Originally from Queens, New York, Serchuk moved to Toledo in 1966 to attend the University of Toledo. He met his wife in college and has remained in Toledo ever since. “I don’t even have a dog. I’m a cat guy. I’m doing this to enhance the quality of life for dogs and their owners in Toledo . . . to give an opportunity for dogs to socialize, and to retain and attract young people to our community,” he said. The initial budget for this project was projected at $75K. Serchuk put up nearly $40K of his own money and committed himself to raising the rest of the necessary funds. As the plans for the park progressed, it became clear

Continued from 11 that the budget was much higher, at more than $140K. The project has raised $135K at the time of this story, and 80 percent of those funds were raised by Serchuk’s efforts alone.
Broad community support
All of the donors—both individuals and companies—have a shared enthusiasm for this project. The Kuhlman Corporation donated the concrete that was used for a pavilion area in the park. The Shelly Company donated 270 tons of gravel dust for the perimeter walkway of the park, and The Andersons has donated three years’ worth of lawn maintenance products. Many more companies, individuals and labor unions have contributed to the Glass City Dog Park in significant ways. These include Block Communications, The Toledo Animal Shelter, Lucas County Animal Care and Control, Dr. Bob Esplin of Sylvania Vet, The Toledo Veterinary Medical Association and Yark Subaru. Thanks to the hard work of Toledo councilman Matt Cherry and the Executive Director of the Associated Contractors, Kevin Smith, several labor unions were also involved. These unions include Sheet Metal Union Local 33, Cement Masons Local 886, Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 50, and The Laborers Local 500. “We’ve raised the money to finish the park in addition to receiving committments for in-kind donations. We’ve accomplished what we set out to do. Our dog park will be in the top one-percent of dog parks in the nation,� said Serchuck. A “Ground Barking� ceremony was held on August 16 to begin membership signups. As of September 27, more than 200 people were paid members. “I predict that by next year, we’ll have between 500 and 1,000 members. That will be enough for us to meet our projected annual operating expenses,� Serchuk said.
Memberships
Charter membership is $10 for 2 dogs with a $5 key deposit, and lasts until February 13, 2015. On February 14, the annual membership renewal will begin
at $40 for the year. The Valentine’s Day renewal date coincides with the organization’s mantra: “Nobody Loves You Like Your Dog.� All dogs visiting the park are required to have an up-to-date license, required shots, and they must be spayed or neutered. Members will access the park with a key card, allowing park staff to monitor who enters the park and at what time. To avoid the possibility of animal aggression, there are no 90-degree angles in the park. This prevents the dogs from being cornered by other dogs. According to Yoppolo, “Most other dog parks [in the U.S.] do not have these rules. If a dog gets aggressive [at GC Dog Park], the owners have one chance. The second time, their card will stop working.� “Around the perimeter of each park, we have a gravel pathway. Each lap in the big dog parks is a quarter-mile, and in the little dog park, each lap is one-fifth of a mile. S Y/JEFF JONE PHOTOGRAPH ART SNAP IT HE I BY O PHOT
This is so that [owners] can exercise too,� says Yoppolo. The gravel also prevents the dogs from digging under the fence.
The park layout
Fixed on a 4.4-acre plot south of the Toledo Zoo, on the former site of the South Toledo YMCA, the city-owned property is connected to Woodsdale Park. The dog park is divided into three sections. One section is for dogs under 25 lbs., and the other two sections are for dogs over 25 lbs. Each year the “big dog� sections will rotate, with the unoccupied section receiving needed maintenance. “The big dogs run hard and they tear up the turf, so we will rotate the big dog park. We’ll also provide access to this section of the park for Toledo Police K-9 units and dogs from the warden (in need of permanent homes), so the community will benefit from this,� said Serchuk.

Glowing reviews
On Saturday, September 27, Glass City Dog Park held a “Leash-Cutting” ceremony to signify the opening of the park. For the first few weekends, volunteers will be onsite to direct visitors. Kelly Culpert decided to volunteer out of love for her dog, Rocky, a white boxer. “I live within walking distance of the park. It’s really nice to have this so close to home,” she said. “Signing up to volunteer was easy, I just went to the website and filled out the form,” Culpert said. Anyone interested in volunteering at the park can sign up at toledounleashed.org.

Susan Brittson, a life-long resident of East Toledo, jumped at the opportunity to purchase a charter membership for her 8-year-old rescue dog—a black lab named Bear. “We’re really excited to have a place that’s specifically for dogs,” she said.
www.toledocitypaper.com
“This is much needed for us. We’ve been driving to Bowling Green to visit the dog park there, but this location is better for us,” said Leeann Beach. She and her husband Kurt live in Perrysburg with two dogs, a vizsla named Remington and a peekapoo named Izzy. They cited the ability of their dogs to socialize with others as their main reason for joining the park.

“It’s just been amazing how people open their checkbooks and their hearts. By having the dog park, we are telling the world that Toledo is pet friendly. Until now, we couldn’t say that,” Serchuk said. For membership details and park updates, visit toledounleashed.org.

Describe a turning point in your career:
Taking a chance and pursuing our dream of owning our own salon.
What advice would you give to someone who’s new to the holistic health field? Practice what you preach. What is the point of raising awareness and teaching the health benefits of honoring yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically through holistic wellness and other implementations if you don’t do the same for yourself?
Biggest pet peeve? Poor customer service. People comment all of the time how amazing our clientcentered service is and although I appreciate the feedback, it is sad that it is not as common in our culture and society as it used to be.
If you weren’t at Serenity, where would you be? I would still be an educator. I worked at TPS for 17 years and taught at the University of Toledo. I didn’t transition my career because I didn’t like it, I simply moved on to something different entering into the next chapter of my professional life.
What’s your favorite healthy snack?
Who do you admire, and why?
I’m Lebanese, so anything Mediterranean is my first and favorite pick. I can put Hummus on just about anything.
What advice would you give to someone new to the salon business?
My adversity growing up changed my life tremendously. Both of my parents were paralyzed, we struggled with life logistics, and I lost my mother at a young age. I learned perspective, diligence, and an appreciation for life early on.
Our parents. They instilled in us drive, determination and a strong work ethic.
Perfect your skills, surround yourself with positive people and always believe in yourself!

What’s your favorite healthy snack?
Dark chocolate is by far my favorite. And dark chocolate is healthy as long as your portion size isn’t out of control. Dark chocolate needs to be at least 60% cocoa in order for it to have the anti-inflammatory properties that are talked about. You also want to make sure that it doesn’t have too much sugar.
Biggest pet peeve?
A racecar driver.
Name one thing that’s changed your life:
Dr. Ted Carrick, a pioneer in the field of functional neurology. He not only treats famous athletes and helps them recover from concussions, like he did with Sidney Crosby, but he’s also helping to treat America’s veterans that return home with brain injuries suffered during combat. I understand the concepts and how he goes about doing them, but watching the things that he does with people and the recovery that they make is absolutely amazing.
Having basal cell carcinoma removed when I was 25. It was a wake-up call on the life-threatening effects of sun exposure, both real and artificial. I’ve been passionate about skin health ever since.
Poor posture. Obviously, it leads to pain, especially in the neck and upper back, and headaches. The other thing is that it conveys things to other people as a type of body language. While it may not be the actual case for a person, it conveys a lack of confidence, depression or sloppiness.

CoolSculpting® is non-invasive and allows for immediate recovery, which means you can walk home after the treatment. Dr. Zavell was the first in our area to perform this procedure and has been providing desired results for nearly three years!
5 In the weeks and months following treatment, remaining fat cells condense, reducing the fat layer. 4 Crystallized fat cells gradually die off, then are naturally eliminated from your body.
6 CoolSculpting lets you say goodbye to stubborn fat.

Describe a turning point in your career:
When I opened Bikram Yoga, I went from being a yoga instructor to heading up a business. I took on a lot of responsibility, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I love having a place where so many people have found health, happiness, peace and friendship. We have such a great community of students and instructors at Bikram Yoga Toledo! I couldn’t be prouder!
What’s your favorite healthy snack?
My favorite healthy snack is a green smoothie. It is such a great way to incorporate more greens (spinach, lettuces, broccoli, kale, etc) into your diet. Adding just a bit of fruit masks the bitterness of the greens. It is a wonderful way to start your day.
Biggest pet peeve?
My biggest pet peeve is plastic water bottles. They are so bad for the environment. We try to do our part at the studio and at home by recycling them.
If you weren’t a yoga instructor, what would you be? If I didn’t teach yoga, I would probably just be unhappy!

Entering into the hair replacement world was the most significant turning point. It gives me great satisfaction to help people that are going through different types of hair loss. Hair loss is a devastating experience and by working in the hair replacement industry, I am able to help my clients regain their self-esteem. I admire my mother, Diana Kennedy. She is always such a genuinely caring and giving person. She has been inspirational to me and has always been the one to pick me up when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m down.

A highlight of Toledo’s Warehouse District this market features high quality, home-grown produce and hand crafted items. 8am-2pm. 525 Market St. 419-255-6765. toledofarmersmarket.com
The staff at Zingo’s is very friendly, welcoming you the moment you walk in. According to manager Kaitlin Kurek, they’ve been serving fresh Mediterranean cuisine in Perrysburg for over eight years now. The restaurant is co-owned by Erika DeWood and Dave Sperling, and you’ll find the fare here is unlike any other Mediterranean restaurant in the area. Place your order at the counter, get a number and take it to your table. When your order is ready, it’s brought directly to you by a server. I found the service here to be fast, attentive and efficient.
Twists on Greek favorites
Regarding the food, the operative words here are fresh and unique. The Mediterranean Junk salad, consists of crisp leaf lettuce, parsley, tomato, cucumber, red onion, radishes, diced red peppers, chickpeas, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, baked pita chips, with grilled chicken and gyro meat. The salad is served with their signature homemade creamy balsamic dressing ($12). Additional salad selections include Adrea’s Apricot Salad, Greek, falafel, almond rice and tabbouli. On the appetizer menu, you’ll find traditional grape leaves in both vegetarian and meat varieties as well as hummus and a unique feta salsa, which is served with baked pita chips (8-ounce ($4.50) and a 16-ounce ($8)). The salsa is delicious and certainly worth a try. Mediterranean specialties at Zingo’s include falafel, chicken gyro and tawook, along with various kabobs, including kafta cheeseburger and vegetarian gyro kabobs. Their twist on spanakopita, or spinach pie, uses a thin pita in place of the usual phyllo dough, stuffed with a traditional spinach filling and then grilled ($7). This is a really creative adaptation of the
August 3 • August 17 August 3 August 17 August 3 August08 3 ••••August August 17 October October17 21
traditional version and, served with a side of tomato sauce; it tasted much lighter.
Out of the ordinary
Entree options include feta chicken, veggie mixed grill, chicken tawook, kafta, shish and veggie kabobs. The feta chicken is a large plate of grilled chicken with zucchini and tomatoes over couscous. Prices range from $12-$16, with the kabob trio priced at $20. They also offer family style dinners for 2-8 people, with entrees and various sides for $30 to $75. On the more unusual side is the Mujadra; lentils and rice topped with sautéed onions and cabbage salad for $6.50. They call this a side dish, but it is a large plate and very filling as well as delicious. Desserts run the gamut from homemade baklava to a marshmallow and chocolate chip brownie for $3. They even have vegan chocolate cupcakes for $2.50. For the kid in all of us, they offer cookies with dried cherries, toffee, and chocolate chunks, and a chocolate chunk cookie with toffee pieces and mini marshmallows. And speaking of kids, Zingo’s has two kids meals— a grilled cheese pita and chicken or gyro chunks for $5. Zingo’s Mediterranean is located at 106 Louisiana Ave. Perrysburg. Hours are 11am-9pm Monday-Saturday, closed Sundays. 419-872-5800, eatzingos.com.

Toledo Troopers
Leonard came home to shoot his newest film, Perfect Season. It’s about the Toledo Troopers, a professional women’s football team in the 1970s. Last year, Guy Stout, son of Toledo Troopers coach Bill Stout, pitched his script to Leonard via Twitter. With one read, Leonard was hooked. “It’s about women’s empowerment at a time when that was barely thought of,” said Leonard, also citing the fact that the Toledo Troopers were an interracial team, a fact that enhanced the importance of their achievements. Like many Toledoans, Leonard remembered the Toledo Troopers growing up, but didn’t realize at the time just how pioneering and successful the team truly was. As members of the National Women’s Football League, the Toledo Troopers were World Champions for seven years running (1971-1977), earning more consecutive wins than any other team in the

Horrifically hilarious franchise hits the stage
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Evil Dead, the Musicalâ&#x20AC;? returns to Valentine Theatre by Emily Remaklus
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not every day that an audience gets to witness a gory and hilarious cult franchise come to life onstage. Due to great popularity during its 2011 and 2012 productions, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Evil Dead, the Musicalâ&#x20AC;? is returning to the Valentine Theatre this October. The show is based on the cult classics, Evil Dead, Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness. This trio premiered in 1981 and was directed by Sam Raimi, who later directed the Spiderman trilogy. The franchiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use of comedy, mixed with gore and extremely creative camera work helped redefine the horror genre. A little more than 20 years later, a group of young people in Toronto decided to adapt the movie into a musical. The musical made its premiere at Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tranzac Club in 2003. Much like the movie itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s based upon, the musical became an instant hit shortly after it opened. Due to its enormous success, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Evil Dead, the Musicalâ&#x20AC;? made an off-Broadway debut in November 2006 and reached #4 on the Billboard Show Charts. Then in 2007, the musical opened again in Toronto where it became the longest running Canadian produced show in two decades. Since then, the show has been performed as far away as Tokyo, and as close as The Valentine Theatre.
Songs and gore
The story closely follows the original movies; five college-aged friends visit a deserted cabin in the woods where an evil force is accidentally set free. As the college students turn into demons one-by-one, it is left up to the chainsaw-wielding Ash to destroy his former friends. Like the movie, the Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showing will include a healthy amount of blood and gore, complete with a splash zone for the audience! Unlike the movie, however, musical numbers were written specifically for the show. These humor-
www.toledocitypaper.com
ous songs include â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demonsâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ode to an Accidental Stabbingâ&#x20AC;?, and a few others that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly appropriate for print. The musical has adult language, some sexual innuendo, and a lot of goreâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you will get bloody!â&#x20AC;&#x201D;so the show is recommended for mature audiences.
Up close in the black box
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Evil Dead, the Musicalâ&#x20AC;? will be performed at The Valentine Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studio A. According to Jori Jex, executive director of the Valentine, Studio A was made possible by a generous grant from the Anderson Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were able to convert a large room that had been used for storage and rehearsals into an 80-seat black box intimate theatre,â&#x20AC;? she explained. A black box theatre is a performance space with a flat floor (no stage), black walls, and movable seating so that the theatre can be transformed for various productions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Evil Dead, the Musicalâ&#x20AC;? will open Friday, October 24 with two performances held each night, at 7pm and 10pm. Additional weekend shows will be performed through November 22. Jex states that one of the greatest difficulties in presenting this show is the clean-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go through a lot of fake blood, and in the past we used a fragrant soap as the main ingredient. The theatre smells wonderful,â&#x20AC;? Jex said. For horror fans, comedy fans, and fans of having a good time, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Evil Dead, the Musicalâ&#x20AC;? is sure to create an unforgettable night. Performances every Friday and Saturday, now through November 22. General admission tickets are $20 and available at valentinetheatre.com, or via the box office at 419-242-2787.

Becoming bums
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Back to Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brings Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit downtown by Tara Lyn Armstrong As the enigmatic author once wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life must be rich and full of lovingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no good otherwise, no good at all, for anyoneâ&#x20AC;? (Selected Letters, 1940-1956). To be surrounded by lovers of Jack Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection, those who believe in his fundamentally sound realitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to see them personify his enigmatic style, who capture a beat from rhythm in the air, is an experience any Kerouac fan shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Back to Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a scriptedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;yes, scriptedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;collective that will be presented by those who know him bestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; not just as words on paper, but as an entity who laid the groundwork for the exploration of intellectual and emotional propagation. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your runof-the-mill open mic. The talented vocal interpretations of Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest bards will include Caroline Gauger, Jake Hammond, Michael Kocinski, Jonie McIntire and Kerry Trautman among others. All readers will present Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s archetypal works in unison, as well as in soliloquies. Adrian Lime and Kocinski,
this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event organizers, built a new script based upon Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letters and correspondence to editors and friends regarding some of his bestknown works. Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novels On the Road, Big Sur and Vanity of Dulouz canonized the emergence of an idealism, of tuning into and embracing individualized turmoil, experimentation, and confusion despite, or in spite of, societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predilections. The event was organized in 1984 by Toledo poet Nick Muska, and has since grown in appreciation and popularity. Why should you attend? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because,â&#x20AC;? as Kerouac told us in The Dharma Bums, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing the lawn. Climb that g-ddamn mountain.â&#x20AC;?

Hot glass, cool artwork
Month of Glass celebrates Toledo’s rich history by Athena Cocoves
MaryEllen Graham, Waterview (Maumee)
Christened “The Glass City” due to a long and diverse heritage of glassmaking, Toledo has earned and maintained the nickname since the late 1880s. While many people are familiar with the moniker as a reference to the historical and economic industrial roots, The Arts Commission of Toledo is keeping the name alive, naming October as the Month of Glass (MOG) to entertain and educate with a focus on studio art. All month, galleries, local artists and organizations will highlight contemporary glassworks demonstrating that Toledo’s historical connection to the industry has a future. Fun events and social opportunities will bring the community together. More than 75 original glass art works are featured in the Hot Glass Gallery Exhibition, free to the public from 10am-6pm through October 30. Free, docent-led group tours are available upon request. New this year, Hot Shots (October 22 from 5:30-8:30pm in the lobby) will be a fun, social evening for young professionals. Locals will enjoy bourbon, wine, craft beer and tours of the Hot Glass exhibit. Local galleries and artists will present opportunities for the public to learn about and watch the glassmaking process: Messenger Schmidt Studio, 340 Morris St., will create pieces on October 10 from 12-8pm, displaying their distinct style and designs.

“The Roots of Sylvania” mural
The Sylvania Arts Commission, working with the Downtown Sylvania Association and Interrupt Marketing, brought a mural to Sylvania that focuses on Sylvania’s history. The mural shows images of the North Star, The Underground Railroad, and Sylvania-born National-Geographic photographer Sam Abell. Toledo-area native Dani Fuller designed the mural. In a public effort, volunteers helped color the mural on Labor Day, securing a relationship between art, history, and community in Sylvania.

BACK AGAIN, BY POPULAR DEMAND
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24TH & SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25TH 40
Local musician Jeff Stewart has played in places youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been, and those you know wellâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in dive bars, on barely-held-together stages, outside, sitting on a bartopâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you name it. At times, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see him playing to a packed house of fans that clap and sing along, and at others, his audience is aĂ&#x; smattering of barflies at the end of the night. His classic rock-and-roll style, even when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more folk than Springsteen, is nothing if not honest. He performs with the same enthusiasm and feeling regardless of whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watching. Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new album, Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Sit Still, is an emblematic project that depicts his constant motion, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage momentum, creating art or thinking up a new project. And as his first new release in eight years, it brings a lot of things full-circle for the musician. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The album] is beginning to end,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it thinking about singles or anything like that . . . we wanted it to be a picture book of work we were proud of. We put a lot of time into each note; each sound that you hear.â&#x20AC;? Early this year, Stewart ran a Kickstarter campaign in support of Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Sit Still, and it turned out to be a success, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was thinking I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anything, that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way this is
October 08 â&#x20AC;˘ October 21
gonna happen,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but it was funded plus some,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was able to deliver on my promise to take care of the folks who helped me out, and finish the album that way.â&#x20AC;? The songwriter worked closely with producer Gregg Leonard and studio owner/drummer Chuck Nauk for this release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I seem to always be doing something, my brain is always working,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said of the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title. It could be about anything for anyone, but for me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about being in a state of movement.â&#x20AC;? At an album release party for Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Sit Still on Sunday, October 12 at The Village Idiot, Stewart and friends will play the new record front to back. Stewart designed 419-themed Toledocentric t-shirts that will be for sale at the event, along with the album and other merchandise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope the listeners have a good time with it; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cohesive experience of a record. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put one out in a long time, so I think it takes care of a lot of business in 13 songs,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. Hear the new release from 3-5pm Sunday, October 12 at The Village Idiot, 309 Conant St., Maumee. Visit jeffstewartmusic.com for updates, lyrics and merchandise.

Saturdays, 10.18 & 10.25 / Peach Mountain Observatory
With the sun setting earlier, fall is a good time to spot constellations without having Photo by John Landino to stay up too late. Fall is also a special stargazing season because both summer constellations and emerging winter constellations share the night sky. Toward the end of October, look for Taurus. About fifteen miles outside of Ann Arbor in the Stinchfield Woods, you’ll find the University of Michigan’s Lowbrow Astronomers Club at the Peach Mountain Observatory, established in 1979. The Club has a growing, open membership, with special interest in public outreach. NASA’s Night Sky Network chose them to help provide free information, education, and events. Join the Lowbrows Saturday, October 18 and Saturday, October 25 for an open house at dusk.

Hashing began in 1938, while British soldiers were stationed in Malaysia. It is still debated whether it was a fun respite for overtaxed infantry, or as an incentive to condition potbellied troops. But the niche combination of exercise and beer caught on. There are now hashers congregating throughout the world. Hashing came here in 1990, when Rob Ampthor moved to Toledo from Connecticut. It was a great way to meet new people. “You can show up and have 20 new friends in town,” said Ampthor. A hash is not a race. Courses are designed to discourage speed and ego. Only the hasher that set the trail knows where it leads. The other runners and walkers are forced to work together to find the right path.
Our hash sent us west on Adams St. until the runners found a tennis-ball-sized, white chalk dot on the sidewalk. This indicated that the trail could split left, right, or could just be a trick to slow down the front runners. Hashers took off in three directions. A front-runner will shout “On On!” or whistle twice if they see two more consecutive white dots on a trail, which signals the correct direction. The other hashers will then follow suit. After a mile or so of false turns and “On-Ons!” we settled in for pitchers at the Ripcord, 115 N. Erie, the first of two surprise beer stops. Hashers shared their stories from trips all over the world. “Minuteman,” a middle-aged man dressed in cut-off military camouflage and Michigan State basketball shorts, had a flight to catch the next day for a hash in Germany. After another mile or so of trail, we arrived at the second beer stop in an alley where a truck was parked with an ice cooler. I chatted with three 20-something restaurant co-workers who often find their Wednesdays free to hash. We finished our beers, and as daylight faded, we trekked the final half mile back to Wesley’s. A home-cooked quesadilla buffet was arranged for our return. “Whip It Out” Ray led the group in songs and ceremonies. Celebratory drinks were called for firsttimers and out-of-towners. Enough honorary drinks were announced— including a category for all runners with new shoes—that just about everyone had a chance to stand for a drink. All the hashers posed for a group photo. I noticed Ray’s shirt, which had “DRUNK” written across it with “RUN” set apart in neon print. It was an accurate description for the hashers. They were not exactly drunk, and not exactly runners. But with tongue in cheek, they amusingly balanced the two.

“On the outdoor patio of Wesley’s Bar at 1201 Adams St., on a Wednesday evening under a warm fall sky, the hashers mingled with beers in hand. Toledo’s Hash House Harriers meet every other Wednesday to run a bit, drink a bit, and socialize a lot. “It’s a night off,” said Wayne Smith, who runs seriously on other nights. The hashers meet all around Toledo to navigate chalk-marked courses through streets, trees, and even shopping malls. They are a batch of former and current runners, former and current partiers, and people who fall in the middle of that Venn Diagram. “We are a big dysfunctional family,” said Don Lindner, who has hashed in Toledo during the past three decades. Names are earned after a member designs a trail, or “when you do something incredibly stupid,” said “Politically Erect,” a retired political science professor of 43 years. Most names are purposefully detached from polite society in a fun nod to a hasher’s day-to-day life. “Dickspatcher” used to take 911 calls. “Suck Me Baby” told me that she is a respiratory therapist. The names are crude, but thoroughly light-hearted. Hashing fits a certain type of person, said Dickspatcher. Invariably it attracts people with a sense of humor.

You can see the full moon and eclipse on the 8th, Mercury will change signs, and we celebrate Columbus Day. Hopefully we all get that day off! — BY SUE LOVETT
LIBRA (September 23-October 22) Thanks
to the full moon and eclipse the 8th you see everything clearly and give second chances if necessary. On the 10th begin a four-day weekend. Take a chance on the 15th and enjoy peace and quiet the 18th and 19th.
SCORPIO (October 23-November 21)
full moon light up your partnership, personal or business. Enjoy a three day weekend the 11th through the 13th. Starting the 14th you are lucky. Bet on your favorite team the 18th or 19th and be a winner.
You may be accident-prone on the 8th, so be extremely cautious. If you have a three-day weekend starting the 11th, include at least one football game and festival. Your team wins on the 18th, so bet accordingly.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The full moon and eclipse on the 8th affect your friends, but not you. Enjoy a weekend away the 11th and 12th, maybe even the 13th. Life is good! On the 21st correct an error you made in September. Celebrate your success.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) You want to take a chance on the 8th. Go
CANCER (June 21-July 22) The full moon
CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19)
for it, but don’t blame me if you lose. Football the 11th and 12th and a day off the 13th keep you smiling. Get ready for more fun the 16th and 17th and another winner the 18th.
and eclipse on the 8th will shine on your career and your reputation. Be on your best behavior. You may travel the 18th and 19th, but be sure to double-check your reservations because Mercury is still retrograde.
You are thinking of redecorating by the light of the full moon the 8th. Shop and enjoy this project through the 13th. Get receipts in case some things have to be returned. Balance your checkbook the 16th.
LEO (July 23-August 22) You are so lively
AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) Turn the three-day weekend into seven by leaving on the 9th and returning the 16th. Then get organized on the 18th and 19th and resume your routine. Special interest classes or projects may tempt you.
VIRGO (August 23-September 22) Pay close attention to joint finances and investments and avoid new projects. Take off the 3-day weekend for Columbus Day. Allow extra time for delays. You are energetic the 16th and 17th. Shop the 21st.
PISCES (February 19-March 20) The full
and the eclipse the 8th adds fuel to your fire. Run from work to the mall, to the festivals and the football games. Home is just a place to change your clothes and sleep. The week of the 20th take a look at your budget.
moon and eclipse on the 8th could have a negative effect on your finances so do NOT buy or sell anything. If you are able to travel over the three-day weekend, go for it. Go to a new place on the 19th for excitement.

The symbol for Libra is the scales. Librans should always have something oriental in their homes for good luck – even a little piece of jade in your pocket helps. Examples are Kelly Ripa and Michael Douglas. Locally Sandy Isenberg, politician, and Melissa Voetsch of Channel 13 celebrate.

Interview by Jordan Killam
Madeleine Rogers
The restaurateurs, chefs and servers in our food scene work hard, and the Dining Guide Awards was their time to shine. Toledo City Paper extends a special thanks to everyone who attended the Dining Guide Awards party on Sunday, October 5 at Angelo’s Northwood Villa.
BMW Genius at Yark BMW
Mancy quality
The Mancy family collectively took home awards for Best Restaurateur, Best Restaurant in Maumee (Mancy’s Bluewater Grille) and Best First-Date Restaurant (Mancy’s Steakhouse).
Madeleine left the UK to be near her parents, who have been living in Perrysburg for decades. Her style is influenced by her British roots, a short stint living in California, and her new Midwestern life. She favors proper, girlish florals and tailored coats, a bit of up-cycled hippie beachiness, and good old-fashioned basics. Whatever she’s wearing, it’s apparent that Madeleine’s enthusiasm for fashion guarantees she’s the one having the most fun in the room!
You mentioned that since moving back to Toledo, you’ve become more daring in your style. How so?
In England I was a pharmaceutical sales rep, and my uniform was strictly professional. I wore a lot of skirt-suits and heels. My new social group inspires me to be more creative with my clothes, and my new career at Yark BMW allows more personal expression. I love bright colors and bold prints, especially florals and floaty fabrics that reflect my personality, so I decided to embrace them.

El Tipico
Runner-up in two separate categories, Best Gluten-free Dish and Lunch Special, El Tipico knows how to make delicious and authentic, organic Mexican food for its Toledo customers.
Who are your style icons?
Crystal Flores, Juanitia Ruiz and Dina Villa
Dressed for success
Micah Risher and Aaron Hensley manage the kitchen at Bier Stube’s House of Eats, scoring the win for Best Late-Night Dining, Best Local Foodie and Runner-Up for Best Place to Cheat on Your Diet.
I ditched the Duchess of Cambridge as a suitable fashion role model, so I now look to British and Canadian plus-size models Jada Sezer and Joby Bach. They are both beautiful, curvy women who show that you don’t have to be a size 0 to be stylish. Jada Sezer is my inspiration for my new positive body image and is leading her own campaign “Swimsuits for All” which is designed to make sexy swimwear accessible to all shapes and sizes.
What is the biggest difference between American and British fashion?
I think fashion is pretty globalized now, but in the UK, style is more class-defining. For example, there
are certain classic staples for any Kate Middleton-wannabe. Any conservative dresser can’t go wrong with a tweed blazer, dark-denim jeans and fitted blouse, paired with equestrian boots and accessorised by a scarf, some simple, understated jewelry and a Mulberry handbag. I feel that styles in the U.S. tend to be more relaxed, more comfort-oriented. American women are masters of wearing diamonds with their jogging suits.
What do you look forward to wearing most this fall?
It’s all about the jump-suit for me this autumn! I love how it cinches in to define my waist and gives me that relaxed and playful look. I have also indulged in some custom-made, high waisted jeans from Shape My Jeans. I’m bringing booty back to Toledo!
