Learning on the job Johnny Hildo’s article on John Navarre (10/8) is a step-by-step argument from Anita Lopez as to why Navarre is not qualified to be Lucas County Auditor. Thank you Johnny for prepping the Navarre team.

Here’s the gist of Johnny’s argument: one must be a politician to hold office.

Anita is a politician. Navarre is not. Therefore, Anita is the better choice.

But who says an ordinary person can’t function in a political role? Sandy Spang fits that qualification. State Farm agent and former State Rep Lynn Olman does as well.

What’s more, several of Anita’s hires were put in awkward positions to do jobs they initially didn’t know how to do. Such management hires went to people like John Navarre for help. They learned on the job. And Navarre is adaptable.

But what Toledo really wants is change. They’re tired of Anita using the auditor’s office as a stepping stone. Toledo doesn’t want career politicians. They’re genuinely tired of the Carty Finkbeiners in the world. ABC, as I heard one Democrat explain. Anybody but Carty.

Halloween candy buyback

What do you get when you mix Halloween candy, a scale, and lots of cash?

Frankel Dentistry’s annual Halloween Candy Buyback. Children can sell their leftover Halloween candy to Dr. Frankel for $1/pound and he will ship it to Toledo Marines who are serving overseas this Veteran’s Day. This is the fifth year Dr. Jon Frankel will be hosting the event, which will take place on Monday, November 3 at both the Talmadge Rd. office in Toledo and the Keystone Dr. office in Maumee. “I think it is important that kids enjoy Halloween. But there is always too much candy left over,” said Dr. Frankel. That’s when he decided to step in and “buy back” the candy. “Many times these kids are excited because they know they are contributing to a good cause.” Last year, Dr. Frankel and Dr. Puhl of the Maumee location teamed up with Maumee schools to collect more than 500 pounds of candy. Don’t miss out of your opportunity to participate in this event. “Have your children set aside a small pile of their favorite candy to enjoy, then stop by our office and bring the extra to us,” said Dr. Frankel. —KT

Revel in the beautiful sight of downtown Toledo in all its fall finery from the Main Library’s Civic Plaza Rooftop. The panoramic, 360-degree view embraces a sun-drenched blue sky and colorful, leafy trees both an accentuating the architecture of the buildings and church steeples that comprise the downtown skyline. The rooftop is a great place to sit, read a book, take photos or eat lunch. Don’t miss the Art Gallery across from the south Plaza entrance (now showing Prizm’s award-winning artists).

The soul of autumn

Linus’ sincerest pumpkin patch

The Trabbic family has thoughtfully developed their Pumpkin Fall Festival over the last 24 years with an emphasis on staying true to the farm. Creating a really wonderful experience for families to delight in the season while picking out pumpkins, the patch is a perfect place for little ones to navigate the kid-friendly maze, pet the farm animals and ride the pumpkin train.

10am-7pm Monday-Sunday through October 31.

Trabbic Family Farm, 1560 E. Sterns Rd., Erie MI between Lewis and Summit.

Fall fruits

Apples grown at the 150-year-old Keeney Miller Orchard and Farm are spectacular. It’s worth the short drive over the state line (go before or after visiting the Trabbic Farm—just a 5 minute drive). Varieties of apples include Grimes, Northern Spy, Matsu, Ida Reds, Fuji, Courtland’s and, my favorite, the hard-to-find Winesap.

Open 10am-6pm Monday-Saturday, 10347 S. Dixie Hwy Erie, MI.

The Sisters of St. Francis have created a landscape of beauty and spiritual peace within an 89-acre area which includes the Lourdes University Campus. The place to walk this fall to tune into the mellow cadence of the season, the trees burst in jewel-tone colors, and the autumn sun caresses the sculpted shrines and detailed, handmade clay tiles which tell of the life of St. Francis of Assisi. The campus reflects his belief that the earth and all its inhabitants are interconnected and should be equally cared for and respected.

It is evident that Toledoans love food.

And there’s no doubt that Toledoans have a wealth of community-oriented entrepreneurs. So when these two factors merge at Toledo SOUP, it makes a perfect recipe.

This grassroots effort funds local initiatives, businesses, organizations and artists through micro-grants; it’s a platform for Toledo entrepreneurs and community organizers to share their passions and express their needs to make their vision come to life in the city they love.

The SOUP formula

Toledoans who have an idea for a new business, or artists and activists who need financial backing for a worthy cause, are encouraged to submit a proposal through Toledo SOUP’s website. A guest panel of local judges, such as councilmembers and business leaders, choose three proposals to be presented at the next event.

At every SOUP, attendees pay five dollars at the door to mingle with fellow community members while eating—that’s right—soup. A Q&A follows each proposal, providing an opportunity for listeners to ask their questions directly to the creator of the idea. Attendees cast votes, and the pot of money collected during the evening goes to the winning proposal.

“I love that Toledo is so willing to try new things,” said Taylor Dungjen, Toledo SOUP committee member and crime reporter for the Toledo Blade. “The spirit, willing to be creative and adventurous, is so alive in this city.”

Even if presenters don’t win, they gain an open audience where the ideas can be critiqued. “We’re building ties that wouldn’t exist otherwise,” said Eric Britton, Toledo SOUP committee member and partner at local law firm Schumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP. “That’s the kind of connection you can’t make with Kickstarter.”

Of course, the soup is another reason to attend Toledo SOUP. Toledo chefs Andrew Ruiz of the Toledo Museum of Art, Aaron Hensley of the Bier Stube’s House of Eats and Sarah and Ben Cohen of Badger Brunch at Black Kite Coffee provided food at the summer SOUP event. On October 26, the theme will be “Spooky SOUP,” and Halloween surprises await.

Funding Toledo’s ideas

Seeing firsthand the immediate success of these micro-grants really makes Toledo SOUP singular. For the FDCA Late Night Basketball program, winning the Summer Luau money pot this past June meant that they could keep their lights on, giving Toledo’s youth a place to go and stay off the streets.

“I have a lot of reverence for the word ‘community’ . . . this idea that people just take charge of the place that they live is inspiring,” said Ryan Bunch, Toledo SOUP committee member and Performing and Literary Arts Coordinator at The Arts Commission.

Attendees can expect a raffle, a Halloween costume contest, and all-you-caneat soup from some of the best chefs in the city. Entry information for the spring event will be announced in January.

Toledo SOUP’s next event will be from 4:30-7:30pm on Sunday, October 26 at 1717 Adams Street, future site of Handmade Toledo. Have an idea to better Toledo? Send your proposal and find out more about Toledo SOUP on their website at toledosoup.com.

Bumble Olive Oil Company makes good flavor affordable

by Kelly Thompson Oil may not be the first thing you think of when considering healthy food options, but fresh olive oil contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents that have been shown to lower cholesterol, among other benefits. A versatile accompaniment to countless recipes, locally sourced and organic foods like this are often a luxury expense that many people can’t justify.

Working to change that is Ashleigh Tresso, the new owner of Bumble Olive Oil Company, her first experience as a small business owner. Hailing from East Toledo, Tresso now lives in South Toledo with her husband Kevin and their 14-month-old son Tucker.

The new store opened on October 1, completing the move from Franklin Park Mall—a direct result of overwhelming customer requests. “Honestly, our biggest complaint from customers was that our location wasn’t convenient,” said Tresso.

“The parking situation wasn’t good for them if they were just coming to see us, and with the loft space we have now, we have room to grow.” She also mentioned that the neighboring shops and residents from the nearby Old Orchard community have given them a warm welcome.

The Cricket West store is the former site of Wrap ‘N Ship, and is a fresh change.

October 22 • November 04

With natural-wood shelving and an organized display of oil bottles, it’s easy for customers to find what they need. Another perk: Bumble offers a full-service tasting bar. Anything you see on the shelves, from fresh olive oils to pesto and jam, is available for you to try before you buy.

Tools for healthy living

Plans for the second floor include a kitchen for hosting classes and events.

Currently, Bumble Olive Oil has an ongoing special, $5 off any Flavor of the Week bottle. Tresso anticipates that they’ll carry locally sourced bulk spices and rub blends in the near future.

“My goal is to stay here . . . We’ll be in Toledo forever, in my mind,” Tresso said.

She plans to open a second location in either Maumee or Perrysburg next summer.

“One of my main goals is to make our products accessible, at a price where everyone can come in and buy something that’s good for them, that’s healthy,” said Tresso. “It’s important to me for you to leave knowing exactly where our products are from, why they’re great for you, and how you can use them.”

VOTERS’ GUIDE 2014

Toledo’s got issues, so let’s talk about them! In this year’s Voters Guide, Johnny Hildo gives his two cents, Silas Tsang predicts the ballot weather, and candidates tell us their plans for the city, if they get your vote.

HILDO SEZ:

Johnny Hildo gives a short ‘n sweet rundown of Ohio’s Gubernatorial Candidates and those vying for the U.S. House 5th and 9th Districts from Ohio

John Kasich:

First move in office was to attack policemen, firemen and teachers. Deeply despised after SB 5 in Twenty Eleven. How quickly folks forget. Can the two million voters who shot SB 5 down at the polls possibly vote for its architect? Inexplicably, it seems that way.

OHIO GOVERNOR

Ed FitzGerald:

Probably a nice guy, with great credentials for leadership. Executive of Ohio’s largest county, former FBI agent. Might make a great Guvnah. But his supreme poor judgment in campaign missteps means we might never know. Darned shame.

9TH DISTRICT U.S. CONGRESSIONAL

Marcy Kaptur: It’s Marcy freakin’ Kaptur. ‘Nuff said, Fred.

Richard May:

Really? This guy? Hey, we all respect the good and noble work that warehouse managers do. But we don’t want them leading the country.

Retirement looks so good on ya, baby. Don’t let it end.

Courtesy of Facebook

5TH DISTRICT U.S. CONGRESSIONAL

Bob Latta:

Born with the silver spoon so deep in his throat he can barely speak. Which is a good thing, given the tripe he occasionally mumbles out. As nuthatch conservative as he is slow. Unfortunately, his Dad gave him an undeserved good name.

Robert Fry: Ordained, gun-toting Democrat.

Wait, did we just type that? Probably a better fit than Latta for this centrist district, but he’s underfunded and unknown to most voters. Get ‘im in Twenty Sixteen, Bobby!

VOTERS’ GUIDE 2014

Continued from p. 9

We’ve got issues Rollbacks, cutbacks, and the ballot

by Johnny Hildo

Scenario Two.

Scenario One. It’s the year Two

The lovely city of Golden Hills, OH has property valued at $2 million dollars in the year Two Thousand. The voters of Golden Hills see fit to pass a property tax levy of one mill for the Bleak Prospect Schools in Golden Hills. One mill can be thought of as “one one-thousandth,” so one mill on two million dollars is worth $2000 of income for Bleak Prospect Schools.

Thousand. You’re a fresh-faced twenty-something just out of college and are being offered your first job.

“Congratulations, Ms. Hopeful, we want to offer you your first job. Pay starts at $2000 per month. That might be a concern, as costs are going up, and to keep up you’ll have to make closer to $2750 by Twenty Fourteen.

By Two Thousand Five, costs have risen with inflation, and that $2000 is now worth less than $1650 in buying power. But never fear! Property values have gone up to $2.5 million in Golden Hills, meaning one mill is worth $2500 which, adjusted for inflation, is more like $2050 from the year 2000. Property taxes have risen accordingly.

Voters voted a one mill tax in Two Thousand. Property values have gone up with inflation and so have property taxes. In Two Thousand Five, Bleak Prospect Schools gets . . . wait for it . . . $2000.

“Here’s the good news: If you work hard and play by the rules, which will change regularly by the way, in just five years you’ll be making exactly $2000 a month!

Unless on our completely capricious whim we decide to cut your pay, that is. What’s more, by Twenty Fourteen, when inflation will probably make $2000 worth less than $1500, we can guarantee you’ll be making exactly $2000! No raises, and possible pay cuts if we darned well feel like it, for the rest of your tenure here.

Good luck making ends meet. And welcome aboard!”

By Two Thousand Fourteen, when property values have risen to a total of $3 million, and one mill would be worth $3000, Bleak Prospect Schools gets, you guessed it, $2000. Which is now worth less than $1500 in buying power.

But wait, you say. How can this be?, you ask. On the ballot we voted for $1 million, and the value of that one mill rises with inflation. True enough, except for a pesky little Ohio law that means, while the ballot says a millage, you are actually voting the dollar amount that millage would raise at the time the ballot issue is certified, and not a penny more. It never rises no matter the increase in values and taxes. Instead, the millage is slowly rolled back to keep the dollar amount the same.

Holy fixed income, Batman! Oh, wait, even folks on “fixed” incomes like pensions get cost-of-living adjustments to offset the effects of inflation. Not you. Do you take the job?

Holy fixed income, Batman! Oh wait, see above. No cost of living adjustments.

Do you take the job?

Brother, can you spare a dime?

Why this dry soliloquy on the economics of inflation and fixed incomes, when this is supposed to be about the issues on the November 4 ballot?

Because nearly every major school system is on the ballot this year asking for additional millage, as are county-wide agencies and other jurisdictions great and small. There are two reasons why.

First, because of the fixed income problem above. Take Issue 1, for example, a new $5.8 million for Toledo Public Schools. TPS voters have previously approved over $62 million for their schools. But the inflation-based rollback of that millage to keep the income fixed means that TPS collects less than $32 million, or about half of what voters have approved. Even if the $5.8 million is approved, the effective millage rate will be well less than the amount actually approved by voters. With the costs of everything increasing, but TPS on a true fixed income, voters must pass new levies or the school system dies.

The same is true of the other school levies on the ballot, all asking for ad-

10

ditional millage just to keep behind the pace of inflation, including Issue 2 ($4.9 million for Washington Local Schools), Issue 3 ($3.9 million for Maumee Schools), Issue 4 ($5.9 million for Oregon Schools) and Issue 6 ($7.9 million for Springfield Schools). Issue 5 asks for a renewal of part of the fixed income already in place in Springfield.

Issues 7 and 9 are combo-renewal and additional requests for Children Services and Senior Services. Only Issue 8, for the Mental Health Board, is a renewal of slowly declining fixed income with nothing additional. The other reason so many groups are on the ballot this year is the fact that the state budget under John Kasich was balanced on the backs of local jurisdictions. Kasich cut funding to schools, social service agencies, and local governments, meaning local taxpayers must take up the slack.

Schools, fire protection, seniors, children, and roads are just a few of the issues on the ballot. Can we possibly say no?

What will you do to retain/create jobs in the Toledo area?

I will support education reform, and encourage increased funding for economic development, particularly for startup businesses which focus on 21st-century skills.

What plans do you have to prevent another water crisis?

The first step I will take is to push for passage of SB 356, which I introduced this year. This bill adds manure to the definition of fertilizer and changes the date of implementation for SB 150 to December 31, 2014. As evidenced by the Toledo water crisis, the legislature has been too slow to implement ways to promote phosphorous reduction to improve and maintain clean, safe water supplies for drinking, industry, wildlife and recreation.

Who’s your hero, and why?

My hero is anyone who has used his or her skills, talents and training to make our lives better in the areas of human rights, civil rights, technology and medical research.

agement.

What will you do to retain/create jobs in the Toledo area?

As your Senator, I will truly promote economic development and small business growth in the Toledo area. Being out on the streets campaigning I have run into several people considering small business startup. The Toledo Chamber of Commerce has a good small business startup program, yet people know very little about it. We truly need our elected officials to promote jobs and the benefits of the Toledo area. When elected, you can be certain I will work to bring jobs to the Toledo area and truly promote small business growth.

What plans do you have to prevent another water crisis?

The Toledo water crisis! We have played with Mother Nature for many years and she will not forgive us quickly. I had an occasion to speak with Mayor Collins on just what was being done about the water crisis. Both the Governor and the Mayor are working on the problem and I give them just due. I would promote a coalition 10 million people strong, each doing their part and to gather both a short-term and long-term solution to the problem.

Who’s your hero, and why?

Special people in my life are my mother and father. They worked hard to bestow in me respect for other people, work hard, and keep your word. My three statements— respect to God, respect to brothers and respect to good government— truly define who I am, and I will work hard for all the people in the 11th district and the State of Ohio.

What is your biggest concern for Toledo, and how do you plan to amend it?

What is your biggest concern for Toledo, and how do you plan to amend it?

Water quality is the most critical issue of the region.

I’m working to establish a local Water Authority, which would protect ratepayers and implement a long-term approach to improving the water treatment plant. This is a win-win for those in Lucas County who rely on safe, healthy drinking water.

The young people leaving our community. My plan is to bring jobs and have a countywide public transit system that will move people around the whole county, not just a limited area.

This system needs smaller and more fuel-efficient buses running 24 hours a day, so the community can get to work and go to Swanton, Bono or the airport using public transit.

How can you help reduce poverty in the city?

How can you help reduce poverty in the city?

As Commissioner, I have and continue to support job growth and workforce training; spearheaded the Northwest Ohio Food Council; sponsored key educational initiatives in partnership with Toledo Public Schools, United Way, and the Toledo Community Foundation; and work to provide affordable housing.

If your campaign were a movie, what would be the title?

“Love Actually” would be the title of my campaign. As I run for re-election, I am inspired and humbled by the faith that Lucas County residents have in our ability to meet our community’s challenges.

Who’s your hero, and why?

My dad, who taught me hard work and a love of learning; my mom, who taught me patience. My children, who have taught me enduring love and the importance of humor, and my husband Charlie, who cares about each person he works with, while fighting for their rights with an abiding belief in justice

If we took this $1,200,000 that we are getting for the blight, we could have work for small contractors to rebuild the homes instead of tearing them down. It could be done at a low cost and the people purchasing the property would care about it because it is theirs.

With a tax abatement for 5 years and inspections on a regular basis, it will grow the city instead of “Leaving an Empty Donut Hole.”

OHIO AUDITOR Anita Lopez Education: Graduated from University of Toledo College of Law. Party Affiliation: Democrat Political Experience: Licensed attorney in Ohio.

Served as Lucas County Auditor for 8 years.

What is the number one area that could use improvement with the record keeping/ accounting process in Lucas County?

As Auditor, my goal is to continue to receive clean and error-free audits from The State of Ohio. This year Lucas County received the award of distinction for our annual fiscal report under my leadership.

What have you done to facilitate transparency with the county numbers?

This year we are releasing “LucasCountySpending.gov. This online website tool will tell citizens where their tax dollars are spent. It is a new tool and a work in progress.

Do you advocate making changes to how property values in Lucas County are adjusted?

At least twelve times a year, I go to the community for feedback. We go to Senior Centers, Libraries, and Block Watch meetings. By State Law, the Auditor adjusts values every years. In addition, by law citizens can challenge their value through the Board of Revision. Licensed appraisers already review values.

How will you approach the rise in tax-delinquent properties in downtown Toledo?

The economy has impacted all of Lucas County properties and tax delinquencies still are steady. I will work closely with taxpayers to keep them informed of any possibility for a tax savings. I will continue to work with the Lucas County Commissioners and the Mayor on economic development to assist businesses in avoiding tax delinquencies.

TOLEDO BAR ASSOCIATION Contested Judicial Elections Randall C. Dixon, President of the Toledo Bar Association, announced the results of the poll taken of Association members regarding candidates running in the upcoming election for judges in local courts. The poll was taken August 19 through September 5, 2014.

Biographies of each judicial candidate and a survey were emailed to members of the Toledo Bar Association. The questionnaire asked members to indicate whether they felt judicial candidates are “highly recommended,” “recommended,” or “not recommended” to serve as judges.

The qualifications were based on integrity, legal ability, legal experience, fair-mindedness, promptness, professionalism and judicial temperament, public and community services, and other qualifications bearing upon their fitness for the office.

Bar members were instructed to vote only if they had sufficient information concerning the candidates to form an opinion of their qualifications.

Political Experience: Held jobs in the auditor’s office for 12 years; now a property appraiser in that office.

What is the number one area that could use improvement in the Auditor’s Office in Lucas County?

The valuation process for all 200,000 Residential/Agricultural/Commercial and Industrial properties, which need to be fair and equitable for 100% of property owners. 10-15 percent of Lucas County property owners receive value reductions under the current Auditor.

What about the other 85 percent? When a reduction is granted to a property, they pick up the tab in the form of higher taxes. I want everyone to pay their fair share. I am appealing to the 85% who didn’t get a reduction, while their neighbor is paying less tax than they are.

What will you do to facilitate transparency with the county property values?

I have proposed a 3-person panel of state-certified licensed appraisers to review 15 percent of all informal reviews. This ensures that the process is fair for all properties, even those who do not seek lower values.

Do you advocate making changes to how property values in Lucas County are adjusted?

If property values are assessed without political motivation, property taxes are equitable.

How will you approach the rise in tax-delinquent properties in downtown Toledo?

If property taxes are assessed fairly and accurately, property owners are more likely to have incentive to pay the taxes. Currently, there are properties so low that there’s no impetus to pay.

COMMON PLEAS JUDGE DOMESTIC RELATIONS| LUCAS COUNTY Lisa McGowan

Jay Feldstein

Education: Graduated from University of Toledo College of Law and Hartwick College.

Education: B.A. in History from University of Toledo, Juris Doctorate, University of Toledo College of Law.

Party Affiliation: Republican

Party Affiliation: Democrat

Political Experience: Worked as a private-practice attorney and as Staff Attorney to Judge David Lewandowski.

Political Experience: Currently practicing law What can be done to lower the divorce rate?

This is a simple question for which there is no simple answer. The best answer is educating people premarriage as to the legal ramifications of entering into marriage and making certain people understand the personal, financial and legal commitment they make when entering into marriage. Post-marriage I encourage people to seek counseling from whatever source they can to make certain they fully understand the family and financial ramifications of a divorce and to make certain that each person has given their best effort at saving the marriage before making the decision to terminate the same.

Do you think that men and women are treated equally when it comes to separation and child custody?

In most but not all cases. When I first became an attorney (in 1979) the doctrine of “tender years” was so prevalent that in all but the most extreme circumstances women were routinely awarded custody of minor children. The law has evolved so that there is more of an emphasis on shared parenting and that fathers and mothers are encouraged to try to negotiate sharing of parental rights and responsibilities including time sharing so that each parent has the opportunity to spend quality time with their children post-divorce. As to children under the age of five (5) there still appears to exist a presumption that mothers are generally able to provide better care for young children than men.

What’s the most important thing you’ve done to help children whose parents are going through a divorce?

I listen very carefully to the parents and children when they appear before me. Each family is unique and deserves a parenting plan that works for them and is in the child’s best interests. We have Court Counselors that work with the families as well as parenting classes.

What can be done to lower the divorce rate?

Parents and spouses should spend more time listening to each other and their children during the marriage. Spouses should give marriage counseling a chance before either party gives up on the marriage.

Do you think that men and women are treated equally when it comes to separation and child custody?

Yes, in my courtroom they are.

COMMON PLEAS JUDGE, GENERAL DIVISION | LUCAS COUNTY Ian English

Mark Davis

Education: Juris Doctor, University of Toledo College

Education: International Relations, Ohio State University

of Law, 2000

Party Affiliation: Democrat

Party Affiliation: Republican

Political Experience: Assistant Lucas County Prosecutor

Political Experience: Attorney

How will your past experiences make you a better judge?

During my legal career, I have practiced civil and criminal law. In 2001, I was hired by the Lucas Prosecutor’s Office. As a prosecutor, I have tried over 80 cases and served as lead counsel in trials for aggravated murder, aggravated burglary, rape, felonious assault, drug trafficking, forgery, escape, grand theft, and a host of other serious criminal charges. I also served from to 2005 to 2009 as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Toledo in the Undergraduate Legal Studies Department. During that time, I was the Head Coach of the University of Toledo’s nationally recognized Mock Trial Team.

What is your position on the war on drugs?

Over the last few years I have seen an explosion in the use of opioids, specifically heroin, in our community. Heroin has become a public menace that is bringing people from all corners of our county and parts of our community into the criminal justice system. I have advocated that Lucas County Common Pleas Court must re-establish a drug court. Specifically, my plan calls for a pre-conviction Drug Court docket for non-violent offenders. This program, the English Plan, will focus on individuals that have committed criminal offenses as a result of their addiction.

What’s the number one thing you’ve done to lower crime rates?

As a prosecutor, I have dedicated my legal career to making sure we have safe neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools. I have prosecuted criminal defendants for crimes including child molestation, rape, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, murder, and aggravated murder.

Who is your hero, and why?

My parents are my heroes. I learned from them the value of hard work, community, and family. I observed my parents sacrifice to improve the lives of their chidren.

If your campaign were a movie, what would be the title?

Disney’s “Up”

How will your past experiences make you a better judge?

I have been an attorney longer than my opponent has.

I’ve appeared in multiple courts, including federal court of appeals, court of claims, bankruptcy, and trial courts across Ohio and Michigan. Like the Court, I’ve had a general practice in most areas that would appear before the court, including Ohio EPA cases, construction, car accident and criminal cases, slip and fall, contract disputes, unjust enrichment, fraud, medical malpractice, real estate disputes, dog bite, business litigation, consumer law, defamation, libel, sexual harassment, wrongful discharge, employment law, labor law, repossession, and foreclosure. In the last ten years, my opponent has limited himself to criminal law. With more legal experience than my opponent, I believe that I have a better knowledge of the law. I have also represented both Plaintiffs and Defendants and therefore can offer an impartial perspective.

What is your position on the war on drugs?

I am a strong believer and supporter of the Drug Court, as created by the Ohio Supreme Court, because multiple studies shows that it works. It’s like an intervention, but through the Court, and it has a very high reduction in repeat offenders.

What’s the number one thing you’ve done to lower crime rates?

Neither my opponent nor I am police officers. I have, however, been the victim of violent crime, had my car broken into repeatedly, and had my credit card fraudulently used. One frequent component on crime is poverty. Another is drug abuse. If elected, I will advocate for a drug court which has a proven record of reducing crime.

Who is your hero, and why?

Bruce Lee, because he overcame discrimination as a Chinese-American to show the world the passion of his spirit. He never gave up, was true to himself, reinvented the wheel with Jeet Kune Do, and was the best of all time at what he did.

South Toledo

Two of Toledo’s most popular political figures, Councilman Rob Ludeman and Mayor D. Michael Collins, have represented District 2 in South Toledo while they were members of city council. Political powerhouses like Anita Lopez, Carty Finkbeiner, and Sandy Spang all hail from this part of town.

The voter turnout hovers around 50% in communties like Beverly/Harvard and Glendale/Heatherdowns.

South Toledo will lean Governor Kasich’s way, as the area is known to be open to conservative candidates.

Inner City

Recently elected to city council, Jack Ford won a clean sweep of communities like Ottawa Park and Scott Park. Ford also performed well in the Englewood part of town and he’s very popular in the inner city. The Board of Elections prohibited Jack Ford from being listed on the ballot due to undeclared party affiliation issues. Who’ll have that burning desire to come out to vote? Expect voter turnout to be under 20%.

In Office

East Toledo

Only 16% of registered voters cast votes in the most recent mayoral election. Everyone remembers how vocal and passionate East Toledo was regarding the case of Baby Elaina. If East side community energy favors liberals, communities like Birmingham, Eastside and Southside, Fitzgerald can win East Toledo.

What’s also likely is that East-siders won’t go to the polls because of Fitzgerald’s apparent weakness and vulnerability.

Downtown

Downtown has the most registered-Democrat to registered-Republican ratio in the Toledo area – 2384 Dems to 150 affiliated Republicans. Problem is, the area also had a 13% voter turnout in last year’s mayoral election. Nevertheless, Fitzgerald is assured to win such communities as North River, the Old West End, and Warren-Sherman, simply because the numbers don’t add up in those areas for the GOP.

Rossford

Maumee

West Toledo

Unlike the inner city of Toledo, voter turnout around here is positive, and will probably reach 30%. In political circles, West Toledo is considered GOP-leaning.

Its councilman, Tom Waniewski, is a Republican.

Communities like Westgate and Franklin Park will come out for the right candidate. But that’s if Fitzgerald makes a Truman-likecomeback. Otherwise, chalk up a steady win for Kasich/Taylor.

North Toledo

Most of the voters who remember Senate Bill 5, and therefore hate Kasich passionately, live in North Toledo. They call Toledo a union town, and North Toledo is that personified. Expect a 30% voter turnout, leaning heavily Democratic. This is fertile ground for Democrats. Even in a worst case scenario, gubernatorial candidate Ed Fitzgerald takes North Toledo by a comfortable margin.

CAKE

Another huge money saver was hiring Kendall Erickson to do our photography. She is a young aspiring photographer with the genius of a seasoned professional. We found her through local photographer Kellee Laser. We couldn’t afford the typical $2000-$3000 photographer so Kellee recommended her apprentice Kendall Erickson. She took our engagement photos last year, and we knew she could definitely capture our wedding day with no problem! She is only 17 years old and attends Ottawa Hills High School, but she has her own website and is quite the businesswoman. I would recommend her to anyone!

Harold Jaffe Jewelers

FLOWERS

The custom wedding rings we got for each other were purchased from Harold Jaffe. Being the rock and gem collectors that we are, we took special care and thought in picking out the rings. Austin personally chose my diamond for the setting he designed himself and I picked out a custom-made meteorite band for him. They are the jewelers we would recommend. We are big supporters of local business and the Jaffes just made us feel like family.

Beautiful Blooms by Jen

ATTIRE

Our lovely florist was Beautiful Blooms by Jen located in downtown Sylvania. We cut a ton of cost by ordering bulk flowers and creating our own centerpieces for the reception. Jen was super accommodating, allowing us to do this and we made her job a little easier by not specifying exact flower types. I gave her a color pallet to work with and let her work her magic. It was totally worth the risk because the bouquets were one of my favorite parts of the entire wedding day! She totally got my vision!

Men’s Wearhouse RADISSON HOTEL AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO The Radisson Hotel at The University of Toledo ensures that no detail is overlooked—from decorations and venue design to creative catering menus and special rates on accommodations for your guests. Let our wedding specialists bring your dream to life!

I would describe the bridal party attire as classic and elegant. My wedding dress was given to me for free from my cousin who never used it. It was a strapless drop-waist taffeta Allure Gown with a crystal-beaded belt. Had I tried to pick out a dress, I couldn’t have found one that I loved as much as my dress. It was a huge cost-saver, and it fit perfectly with just a hem for alterations. My bridesmaids also wore taffeta dresses by Alfred Sung. They were short black dresses, but they all chose a style that best fit them. Austin and the groomsmen wore black Calvin Klein Tuxedos from Men’s Wearhouse.

Andrea talked about her wedding experience, from start to finish.

Bee for the Day - Event Planners Consultant Dani Mullan made an outline of the day and made sure everything ran smoothly. She kept everyone in line—vendors and the wedding party were where they needed to be at the right time.

Belle Amour Bridal Although the whole experience was incredible, Belle Amour was the best part of it all. With only a short time between winning the contest and the actual wedding, the pressure was on to find the perfect dress very quickly. I chose a beautiful strapless Michelle Wu dress with the help of Michelle McCalla, the owner of Belle Amour. I knew it was the one when I felt like a bride—it was amazing, one of the best days of my life. Staff members Emily and Tiffany helped with the bridesmaids dresses that were black chiffon with one shoulder.

up. She was my contact person for the contest so I felt very comfortable with her. She was great to work with and really listened to what I wanted. It was all organic and airbrushed so I felt beautiful. It didn’t sweat off my face, which was great because I was dancing a lot!

Leo Marks The wedding bands from Leo Marks were perfect! We were able to go into the store and find bands that matched our tastes and personalities. Everyone there was so great to work with; they made it so special for us.

The Pinnacle Not only did The Pinnacle host the contest, but Mark Thees, the owner of The Pinnacle, was there the day of the wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. They went all out in providing the guests with an open bar, great hors d’oeuvres, and amazing food! The patio at The Pinnacle was a big crowd pleaser too.

CON’T FROM P.25

The

Describe your overall experience having your wedding here in Toledo.

What worked really well?

What aspect of your wedding did not go as planned?

What surprised you the most about the experience?

We did not get the best sound quality. Obviously, an outdoor tour boat does not typically have boss-like surround sound, so it was harder to hear some of the songs and key parts of the service. However, the atmosphere and home-awayfrom-home feeling made up for it.

Honestly, it’s the compliments I still get years out from attendees. We had a boat tour wedding and a surprise Glass City Pedicab getaway, complete with a second pedicab for our photographer, Jeff Jones of Snap It photography. It was just so unlike anything you’d expect for a wedding.

Because we chose between a destination wedding and a Toledo wedding we were most glad that we didn’t feel as if we compromised. We got married on the Sandpiper on the Maumee River at sunset on an autumn day.

Using local business owners worked for us.

My wife Katy did the vast majority of the planning. Being able to sit down with someone that can make the decisions right away saved her a lot of hassle and back-and-forth.

Manhattan’s did a great job catering and we applauded every song Clif Millimen performed.

Matt Desmond, Commercial Printer, local writer. (Fun fact: both Matt and his bride, Emily, are former TCP staffers!)

We’re such Toledo people that we couldn’t have done it anywhere else! It was great to force all of our friends to come here; it was like having a (very stressful) vacation right at home.

We had a friend become “ordained” in order to marry us. She’s a tenured professor, professional skydiver, and ex-circus performer, so she was able to do an aerial act to kick off the ceremony. We hadn’t told anyone about that, so it blew everyone’s mind. Also, the ring bearer was a hedgehog.

True story.

Well, we’re bar-trivia enthusiasts, so we really liked the notion of having trivia at the reception. But no one got around to writing any questions. And the flowers showed up at the absolute last minute, but it worked out.

Tim Wright, retired rail worker and local art enthusiast and his bride Ashley

Nothing but fantastic. It was a beautiful August afternoon surrounded by family and friends. The ceremony was a surprise to guests at a vow renewal ceremony of our friends, Michael McGraw and Lisa Marie Wells. Only those involved in the celebration and family had been told about our wedding. As everything was in place for the renewal ceremony, our planning was minimal and pulled off in nine days. Catering was provided

by Christopher Kohlenberg (currently Executive Chef at Brandywine Country Club).

Ashley (the bride) showing up for the wedding worked out pretty well.

And, the surprise was pulled off. It caused quite a tear fest with many of the guests.

Having been in the wedding business in a prior life, I did not expect all to go as planned. The Gay Pride festival was on the same day at Promenade Park so instead of Ashley walking up to ‘Smoke Gets in Your Eyes’ by the Platters, we began our ceremony with ‘Hangin’ Tough’ by the New Kids On The Block.

My family members were in attendance and part of the wedding but Ashley’s family were not able to attend on such short notice.

At the Toledo City Paper, we delve into the world of all things bridal for special wedding issues. However, brides get too much attention. It’s time to take a little journey into Groomsville. What’s it like to be a groom planning a wedding in our fair city? We caught up with three of them and chatted about their experiences.

October 22 • November 04

What advice would you give future grooms planning a wedding in the Toledo area?

Ditch the wedding magazines and go for your most romantic dreams. Then, look around town. It’s an old town full of past love stories. I’m sure yours could be here, too.

People said it’d be emotional, but I figured I’d be too nervous for that. But sure enough, I had to spend the whole ceremony trying not to cry. Emily (the bride) says I hardly looked at her; that’s why.

American Commodore Tuxedo was quite affordable compared to the other national chains. Both Langley Hall (reception site above Degage Jazz Cafe ) and the Maumee Indoor Theatre (ceremony site) were super accommodating, and Tina Gionis’ photography is great! My only other advice is not to look at her, or you’ll cry.

Only that it didn’t rain.

Be involved in the planning.

It is your wedding as well.

On your wedding day and those leading up to it, you will see emotions you have never experienced before.

Some will be your own.

Be calm, even if you are starting to freak out yourself.

Your calming presence will help out your bride.

Be on time, relatively sober, and make sure you have your socks.

Pura Angulo, owner of Toledo Art & Food

AToledo bit Art of& Sicilian charm Food is as real as it gets

by Tara Lyn Armstrong

Pura Angulo cooks and plates while a dishwasher and waitress do the footwork outside the kitchen during the day, but in the evenings, she flies solo—her patrons are mostly couples, and she prefers that intimacy. Toledo Art & Food is Angulo’s third restaurant, her first in the United States, having previously operated eateries in Sicily with her late husband, and in Venezuela. The small eatery opened its door six weeks ago in The Lunch Hour’s former location at 332 North Erie St.

Art wanted

This charming woman with a thick Sicilian accent delights in preparing homemade Italian meals, but also has a passion for art. A small corner of the dining area showcases several pieces from her private collection and still more for purchase. She encourages local artists with a sign that advertises, “Ask us how to sell your art here.” At present, Gathered Art Gallery has a few items for sale and other exhibitors will be dropping off work soon.

Angulo’s wall pieces are inspired by her appreciation and interpretations of spirituality and faith. In another corner is a bench to sit and peruse a small collection of books while waiting for pickup orders.

Breakfast is served all day, and choices include a fully loaded frittata for $9, a vegetarian or sausage panini for $5, and cereal, bagels or yogurt with seasonal fruits and granola. My dinner date sat with me at a quaint half-table booth, and ordered a turkey and pesto panini, $7. I had a lasagna-styled eggplant dish, one of the day’s $5 specials. Both entrees were

www.toledocitypaper.com

flavorful and filling, and it was easy to tell that the food was made from scratch. I will make a return trip for another panini.

Unexpected delights

The pesto was light, the turkey fresh, and the panini was perfectly grilled. With the sandwich came a choice of soup or salad, and the owner recommended ham soup prepared with wine and the homemade meatball. An out-of-theordinary flavor came in a “shake” made from yogurt, honey and fresh mint leaves, a twist on the traditional panna cotta. With a distinct tang, it’s definitely something worth trying and “it aids in digestion,” says Angulo. For those who prefer it, she can add a little milk.

I’m typically not a fan of tiramisu, but I enjoyed its light-but-very-sweet flavor, whipped texture and lack of lady fingers.

The menu advises that a patron can receive the “Original Italian Tiramisu” for free on their birthday with a valid ID. Food aside, the new eatery seemed to have popped up from nowhere, unannounced. It has an eclectic-butauthentic vibe, and is easy to miss, as the sign in the window is only barely visible from the street. Angulo let on that her reason for opening in Toledo is to encourage a vibrant arts scene downtown, where “people paint right on the street,” like they do in her home country. When asked if she’ll have a larger sign in the future, Angulo simply replied, “The sign?

It’s in my heart.”

Chad Zuver’s remake promises horror and gore

Still dead, still alive Local director twists cult classic

by Jordan Killam

Swanton native Chad Zuver is a local independent film director with an appetite for horror. He recently adapted George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (1968), a classic in its genre, into his own original screenplay. He began writing the script in November 2013, and the film will be screened this month at the Maumee Indoor Theater.

But why Night of the Living Dead? Again? The film has been made many times over, but Zuver felt he could tell the story in a different way, tailored directly for blood-thirsty horror fans. He says that the script itself was rich enough on its own to warrant a creative departure that is sure to keep movie-goers on the edge of their seats.

Brains for the audience

The script remains true to the original for the most part, but Zuver indicates that this version contains an exciting and unexpected plot twist that he would not reveal to audiences (or journalists!) ahead of time. “I love the original movie, and wanted to add something new to the story.” he commented, also stating that he relishes the challenge of bringing a re-make of such a well-known film to audiences.

The film was made in collaboration with Zuver’s production company, Shattered Images Films, which notably made the independent horror flick New Blood Rising, released this year.

www.toledocitypaper.com

Shattered Images Films relies upon local actors and artists, many of whom devote their time without pay, to making movies. Zuver has developed a cadre of actors he enjoys casting over and over. “I trust the actors I’ve worked with before,” he says. “All of them were perfect for the roles I had in mind. I’m really excited about my cast and crew. They all really want to be a part of one of the greatest zombie movies of all time.” Among the actors returning to this production are Lee Godwin, Rebekka Daniel, Kayla Elizabeth, Sarah Thomas, Lisa Marie, Melissa Zahs, J.J. Lahey and Layla Thomas. Night of the Living Dead will also include Detroit comedian Gad Holland.

Appetite for success

The Maumee Indoor Theater has been instrumental in Chad Zuver’s career, as it has served as a platform to

October 22 • November 04

release and promote his films. Zuver appreciates the fact that the theater is a local staple and remains one of the last small independently owned movie houses in the area.

“The manager has been great and very cooperative,” Zuver noted. The Maumee Theater also served as the location for the New Blood Rising premiere earlier this year.

The film was co-produced by Cullen Park Productions (also based in Toledo) and is sponsored by TrappedToledo, JC Comics N'More, Tom+Chee, Thriller Ink, iLink Real Estate Company, and Sidelines.

Shattered Images’ Night of the Living Dead premieres Friday, October 24 at the Maumee Indoor Theater, 601 Conant St. in Maumee. Showings at 7pm and 9:30pm. Tickets are $7.50. The film will be released in theaters everywhere on October 25.

“It’s alive!�

Perhaps the most quintessential horror film, Frankenstein is representative of Halloween and all things fright. Based on Mary Shelley’s novel, this 1931 motion picture tells the story of young scientist Henry Frankenstein and his faithful hunchbacked assistant Fritz, as they try to create an anatomically correct body—using parts from a myriad of sources. The experiment runs awry, creating a manufactured monster with a sensitive disposition. Friday, October 31. 8pm. $12/ adult, $5/student or child.

Phantom at the Orchestra Symphony puts on a Spooktacular show

by Athena Cocoves

Ghouls! Goblins! Children at the symphony!

Not the beginning of a horror story, but the annual Halloween Spooktacular.

Presented by The Toledo Symphony, the Spooktacular is a seasonal favorite, bringing families to The Valentine Theater to hear classical music played by a renowned symphony of talented musicians.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program includes familiar scores with a special focus on ballet.

Special guest Nigel Burgoine, artistic director of the Ballet Theatre of Toledo, will join the Symphony, introducing children to classical symphonic scores and ballet. Dancer Irinia Tumbalova will delight the audience with the Clog Dance from La Fille ma GardĂŠe.

Maintaining the tradition of lively, recognizable and Halloween-appropriate music, conductor Andrew Sewell will lead three compositions from Prokofiev's 1935

ballet Romeo and Juliet. "Montagues and Capulets" will start the night off with an eerie melody, followed by Rossini's "William Tell Overture.â&#x20AC;?

Nine compositions will include the annual Costume Parade., where children strut across the Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage, showing off Halloween alter-egos during Gould's "March of the Toys" and Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours."

Pre-concert activities, presented with help from Maumee Valley Country Day School, include student ensembles, a chance to make paper-bag puppets, and an instrument â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;petting zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from Rettig Music, providing the chance to get close to the music.

Activities start at 2pm, and the performance starts at 3pm. Sunday, October 26, 2014. The Valentine Theatre. 410 Adams Street. $10/ children, $25/adults. Contact the Toledo Symphony Box Office at 419-246-8000.

Horrible bosses

Photo by Irene Alby

Ever had a boss so awful you considered murder? In Elmer Rice’s The Adding Machine, the main character does just that.

A neurotic accountant who spends his days at his monotonous job and comes home to a nagging wife every evening, Mr. Zero remorselessly kills his boss after finding out he will soon be replaced by a machine. Mr. Zero is punished for his crime by hanging— but the story doesn’t end there. This live-action play shows the perspective of Mr. Zero in the afterlife, where he is offered the choice to better himself or be doomed to repeat his mistakes. The Adding Machine, directed by Irene Alby, will challenge your perspective on life and death, right and wrong. Friday, October 24 -Sunday, October 26 and Friday, October 31-Sunday, November 2. Fridays and Saturdays, 7:30pm; Sundays, 2pm. The University of Toledo Department of Theater and Film, 2801 W. Bancroft St. 419-530-2375. utoledo.edu —MK

Believing Morris is only after Catherine's inheritance, Dr. Sloper threatens the young love and forbids their engagement. Will the doubtful duo elope? Is Morris a gold digger?

It’s Your Line, Anyway

Today, the most popular hilarious TV shows and movies are often loved for the chemistry and improvisational dynamic between the actors. Want to learn secrets of how your favorite comedians manage the magic?

Not so Bacik

For more than 20 years, Lisa Barr stuck with the facts.

As a reporter in the Middle East, she was present for and documented the famous “handshake” that took place in September 1993 at the White House involving President Clinton, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO leader Yasser Arafat. Most notably, she was granted an opportunity to write an exclusive for Vogue Magazine about the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. Her vast repertoire as a writer also includes working at the Chicago Sun Times as the sex and relationships editor. As a veteran journalist, she had never attempted to write fiction before.

Artists of war

In 1991 Barr was on assignment at the Art Institute of Chicago when she viewed an exhibition of “degenerate art,” a term used by the Nazi regime to describe what we know today as modern art. She was blown away by what she saw and knew there had to be enough fodder for a truly important story. As the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, she jumped at the chance to begin collecting facts about this seldom-discussed side effect of Nazi occupation. Barr was amazed to learn that Hitler was himself an artist and many of his cohorts were art lovers, collectors and aficionados. She wondered: how could someone who at one time was so intensely devoted to creating art turn around to oppress other artistic creators? How far would he go to enforce his ideology?

Fugitive Colors charts the story of fictitious characters wrapped up in the Third Reich's pervasive assault against European avant-garde artists and their

work before and during World War II. Although not a true story, it’s not difficult to imagine similar scenarios involving real-life artists, the sacrifices they made, and the losses they endured at the hands of the Third Reich.

Personal experience

Barr’s blog, GIRLilla Warfare, has become viral in the past few months. She excitedly reported receiving emails and letters from all over the world, expressing gratitude for the subjects she writes about.

The blog serves as a more evolved way to discuss parenting and suburban life in contemporary society – less ‘mommy and me’ and more ‘mommy reads the New York Times.’ You can view Barr’s blog at girillawarfare.com.

At Barr’s lecture for the Jewish Federation’s book series, she will discuss her experience as a journalist in the Middle East and her novel, Fugitive Colors, which has been optioned for development by top Hollywood producer Arthur Sarkissian.

His work includes the Rush Hour trilogy and While You Were Sleeping. The book won first prize at the Hollywood Film Festival, receiving the Opus Magnum Discovery Award.

Registration is open and space is limited.

Tickets are $15 for author presentation and reception; $35 to include pre-ordered copy of Fugitive Colors. To register, email registration@ jewishtoledo.org or call 419-724-0354.

VISUAL LITERACY Reading without words Images driving conversations

by Athena Cocoves

Journaling Classes - Art Supply Depo Take a second and consider all of the images you have seen today. How many of those were images composed by an individual? Since the invention of the printing press, cultural interaction with intentionally created images has exploded.

Today, the internet, smartphones, advertising, print media and billboards bombard us with an unprecedented number of images.

With so much more media consumption, our ability to communicate with visual language has increasing importance.

Visual literacy expands from the idea of literacy in the conventional sense, tack-

ling the language of shape, color, form and line. Activities such as reading maps, road signs, directions for an Ikea coffee table, and interpreting the meaning of an artwork all depend on visual literacy.

Director, president, and CEO of the Toledo Museum of Art since 2010, Brian Kennedy has pushed a campaign that closely focuses on visual literacy, showing that an increased focus on visual communication enhances our ability to understand the world.

Conference in Toledo

Cross-disciplinaryprofessions will soon come together for the 2014

International Visual Literacy Conference, hosted this year at the Toledo Museum of Art (11/5-11/8). Lynell Burmark, PH.D, who has done award winning work in visual literacy, documentarian Stephen Apkon, MoMA director of education, Phillip Yanewine, and many others will present as keynote speakers.

Two exhibitions will be put on in tandem with the conference. Before the PhDs and academics tackle the issue, take time yourself to explore the meaning of visual literacy through the many different resources Toledo has to offer.

The Art Supply Depo will soon host “Art Journaling Workshop: Word and Image,” instructed by local artist David Lymanstall. Students will explore how the written word and drawn image can come together to expand and intensify meaning. The workshop will provide a travel watercolor set, Cottonwood designer sketchbook, and a micron pen to help the student continue with practice and inspiration after the class concludes.

Wednesday, October 29, 6-8pm. $40 per person. 29 South St Clair Street. artsupplydepo.com The Toledo-Lucas County Public Library will utilize technology and display cases to showcase visual literacy’s practical applications in an in-depth, educational exhibit. Curated by the Library's Humanities Department, “Look Again: Exploring Visual Literacy” is on view through November 23 in the Wintergarden of the Main Library. Monday-Thursday, 9am-8:30pm. Friday and Saturday, 9am-5:30pm. Sunday 1-5pm. 325 Michigan St. Joel Lipman, the first Poet Laureate of Lucas County, of ABRACADABRA Poetry Studio, has hosted various classes that deal with the concept of visual literacy.

An ongoing exhibition “On the Walls: Visual Literacy, Spatial Poetics & the Page” explores the concept and provides rich examples. On alternate Wednesdays, the

40

October 22 • November 04

studio will host a conversation on the origin of the visual poem and how poetry can expand the visual resource of language.

Part history lesson, part discussion, Lipman will share his passion for the discipline and invite attendees to begin their own process.October 29, November 12, both from 6-8pm, with two more sessions to be arranged. $5 per person.

Lipman has also judged and helped organize the Toledo Museum of Art's annual Ekphrastic Writing Poetry Contest. The contest focuses on poetry as a form that enhances visual description.

Docent-led tours through the museum in conjunction with the contest will continue until February 20. Poetry entries for the 2015 Contest are due through the museum by March 20, 2015.

The TMA will soon present two exhibitions to better explore and educate guests about visual literacy: “Speaking Visual: Learning the Language of Art” will debut October 31 and run through January 24, 2015. Curated pieces from the TMA's collection will be exhibited with text describing methods and approaches to engaging with art.

“InSight: Contemporary Sensory Works” will consist of a special installation where visitors will be engrossed in a sensory experience. Three major contemporary artists’ works will be featured throughout the museum. Pinaree Sanpatik of Thailand will present conceptual, hanging origami cubes lit with fiber optics that will respond to gallery movement with sound. Visitors will recognize human form in Kenyanborn artist Magdalene Oduno’s ceramic vessels. Hailing from Columbus, Aminah Robinson's sculptural works rely on visual history and stories to provide an ancestral narrative.

Brian Neal, Rudolph Libbe Project Manager, Suzanne Rorick, Director of Toledo Opera and Matt Lentz, Director of Marketing at Valentine Theatre

New vibe for the Valentine Construction completed in time for 2015 season

by Kelly Thompson

In the early 1990s, the Valentine Theatre was renovated and reopened with the showing of Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca.

Last month, the installation of acoustical tiles from Owens Corning completed an ongoing renovation project that began in April of this year. With funding from both Owens Corning and Rudolph Libbe, the Theatre is now better equipped for the demanding acoustics for opera performances—just in time for Tosca to return to the Valentine stage on October 12.

The total cost of renovations to the orchestra pit was less than $30K, and came about primarily because the sightline of the conductor was poor. “Our primary concern was that the conductor, from where he was, couldn’t see the furthest rows of the orchestra, or the back part of the stage,” said Rudolph Libbe Project Manager Brian Neal. Unable to view the whole orchestra, conductors would use cameras and screens in order to view and be viewed by the symphony.

Now, an additional eight feet of horizontal space makes it possible to include

more musicians in the orchestra pit and enhance the listening experience for patrons. “We’re able to add 10 more players to the symphony under the stage,” said Suzanne Rorick, director of the Toledo Opera. “When this opening became bigger, it was clear that just on the main floor you could hear every instrument very clearly,” she said.

Toledo’s Valentine Theatre now ranks as one of the best European-style opera houses in the country, according to Marketing Director Matt Lentz, with all of the necessary qualities for a great opera performance, right down to the recommended number of seats. The renovations will also enhance sound quality for Toledo’s local arts groups that perform at the Theatre. “If the opera needs it, then everyone needs it,” Lentz explained. “Area schools and arts groups will have access to a world-class pit.”

River House Arts in Perrysburg

by Dorian Slaybod

It was less than 24 hours before opening night, and no one planned to get much sleep. The floors, painted black days before, were still sticky with newness.

The walls laid freshly white, waiting for art to be hung. “Do you want a single shadow to fall beneath the objects?” asked Bill Jordan, one of the two owners of River House Arts in Perrysburg. Adam Sanzenbacher, one of the following night’s presenting artists, stroked his goatee while visualizing light arrangements, and then went to grab one of his pieces of blown glass from the other room.

River House Arts will celebrate its fifth anniversary this year at 115 Front Street in Perrysburg, along the Maumee River.

During the past half-decade, River House has presented works by over 100 artists, many of them from Northwest Ohio. For each exhibit—a new show is presented nearly every month—Jordan and his wife, Paula Baldoni, alter their space to artists’ specifications. They rearrange and sand and saw and paint. For their very first show, they stapled steel chains to the ceiling and hung unframed paintings between suspended sheets of clear glass.

River House is always morphing, always new.

Opening night

On Wednesday at 9pm, the walls of River House were bare. When I returned the next evening at 7pm, the house was filled with art and well-dressed spectators.

It was the premier of an exhibit by two young glass artists, Sanzenbacher and Kristine Rumman. “[River House] caters directly to the artist,” said Sanzenbacher.

“They just want their artists to be successful.”

Each piece of art was displayed differently. Hand-held-sized structures that looked like brilliantly layered mountains from Jupiter sat starkly atop white pedestals in a window-walled room looking out into the street. A large installation of opaque white glass that looked like modulated prosthetic hips stood mounted along a back wall, like an archaeologist’s reconstruction of a recently extinct geriatric dinosaur.

Sometimes presentations bleed into the art itself. A wooden plank the size of an ironing board stood with three glass horses nestled atop beds of wood shavings.

The horses all appeared to be dying or in distress. The piece, entitled “Marmalade, Buttercup & Candyboy,” was named after the first three horses reported to have died from ingesting black walnut, which is poisonous to horses. Sanzenbacher explained the concept to Jordan, who then carved the plank and shavings to Sanzenbacher’s specifications. The wood and glass—arranged just the night before—now seemed indivisible.

A long partnership

Jordan and Baldoni’s first collaborative project happened while they were students at Ohio University. They were both political activists, and organized a festival to protest apartheid in South Africa. They soon put on their first art show together, strung together in a house of college students. They’ve now been married 28 years. “Neither of us could do this without the other,” said Baldoni.

Baldoni is petite, with closely cropped black hair and an aesthetic burst of silver jutting outward from her front bangs. She worked in non-profit management for decades, in Boston and Ann Arbor, before opening River House. “I’m glad we’re here,” said Baldoni. “I wanted to help build a community I want to live in . . . with people who think differently.”

Bill Jordan is a professional photographer. He has photographed every president from Ford to the most recent Bush. He leaves Toledo on assignment for a month each year, photographing the war-beaten Middle East or land minestruck parts of Africa. River House was originally his own studio before it began displaying work by other artists. “I like to show the work in a way that the viewer can immediately, instantly identify,” said Jordan. Jordan and Baldoni believe that an honest presentation often requires a lot of work. With each exhibit, River House re-adjusts with a new purpose, like a photo lens, forever trying to bring art into clearer focus.

STYLE SENSE

photos by Christine Senack

Warhol’s finest

Interview by Jordan Killam Photo by Angela Lonzo

Allison Parsons

Circle 2445 hosted the Factory Party on Saturday, October 18.

Guests celebrated Andy Warhol’s work with food, era-inspired cocktails and avant-garde performances.

Artist, “Wearer of Many Hats” Allison Parsons wears many hats— she’s an artist, designer, and staff member at Toledo Hospital’s Audiology department. She also has a cooler-thanthou look about her; often dressed in dark colors and favoring simplistic, wellfitting silhouettes over feminine styles, injecting a fair share of city girl chic.

Armed with an artful imagination and a flair for aesthetic beauty, Allison always turns heads when she leaves the house!

Eliana Klein and Julie MacMillan

What do you love to wear the most?

Anything black, all over prints, throw in bold accessories and you have my wardrobe.

You’re an artist who creates pieces from reclaimed wood. Does that inform what you wear?

Dan and Liz Bryn with Melanie Giveins and Matt Darah

In a way it does on the complete opposite spectrum of black. My work is comprised of neutral tones, clean lines and pops of bold colors. I always gravitate towards wood tones as the base of starting a composition.

Why are aesthetics in fashion so important to you?

This outfit would have a completely different look if it was all black denim or lace for example. I need to have the right mixture of textures, tones and prints.

Jen Skeldon, Liz Skeldon, Kirsten Hinshaw and Jorie LeBlanc

If you could choose a style icon, past or present to emulate in your wardrobe, who would it be?

If I could have the Mad Men wardrobe, pieces from Annabelle Neilson, Anna Wintour, Victoria Beckham and 50s-era Audrey Hepburn tailored by Christopher Bailey, I would have the perfect wardrobe!

Imagination bash

On October 11, chemistry-inspired cocktails, local cuisine and live entertainment made this year’s Imagination Station bash a success.
