Plug in to energize

One of the best ways to go green is with electric cars; it’s a move the city of Toledo is encouraging with new charging stations downtown.

Designed like sleek, futuristic gas pumps, these charging stations are located by the corner of North Superior and Adams Streets (across from the Valentine Theatre) and in the parking lot of the Toledo Museum of Art. The parking spots are still open to gas-fueled cars, but drivers of volt-fueled wheels like the Ford Focus Electric or the Nissan Leaf will benefit the most—it’s estimated that the cost for recharging at these bin Ru Photo by Marisa stations is the equivalent of less than a dollar per gallon. Based on affordable prices, along with evolving environmental policies and attitudes, these charging stations may occupy multiple Toledo streets within the next few years.—RA

Remembering autumn

Traipsing through the fall season’s attractions

By Alison Wood-Osmun Savoring fall

Enjoy the final bit of fall color with a picturesque drive to the western edge of Side Cut Metropark on W. River Rd. along the Maumee River Rapids (metroparkstoledo. com 1025 W. River Rd. Maumee). Sunlight glitters across the fast running water while white gulls hover in the wakes and golden grasses sway at the shoreline. Continue driving as the water view becomes partially hidden by the silhouette of an interwoven canopy of trees lining the leaf covered road. Pull over and take a seat on a bench overlooking the river to soak in these last luscious moments of autumn.

Holiday tradition

We all love a grand parade and the annual Toledo Holiday Parade delivers with a fun filled celebration, with Santa Claus, marching bands and larger than life floats. Best of all, the Toledo Distinguished Clown Corps are always there with colorful antics and bright smiles. The Corp puts their heart and soul into this event making sure everyone feels they are part of the parade action.

(November 16th at 10am starting on N. Summit at Jefferson, then left on Jackson, left on N. Huron and ending at Monroe.

Street parking is free on weekends.)

Afterwards go to Imagination Station (1 Discovery Way) for photos with Santa (details at imaginationstationtoledo.org, 419244-2674) or enjoy live music at the Glass City Café’s Saturday Bluegrass Breakfast/ Lunch (1107 Jackson St. 10am-2pm 419-2414519). Visit the Farmers Market for local seasonal produce at 525 Market St. 8am-2pm, and try the great coffee and more at the Flying Rhino stand.

Be a clown

The Toledo Distinguished Clown Corps has been a main sponsor and participant in the Toledo Hol iday Parade for over 25 years. “It’s add ictive, once a clown always a clown wh en you realize you are giving such joy to people,” says organizer Tracy Sal lah. The lively troupe invites everyone to become a member and join in the upcoming parade and other charita ble activities (with membership dues).

Trick or treating with Toledo’s finest Candymen about town

by Griffin Messer-Kruse

Luck was not on Halloween's side this year. Forecasts of potential thunderstorms postponed trick or treating from its usual day on Thursday, October 31st to 6-8pm on Sunday, November 3. Although the number of trick or treaters was seriously diminished, smaller neighborhoods like Ottawa Hills and Old Orchard managed to draw a decent sized crowd of costumed citizens.

Toledo City Paper didn't want to miss out on the fun, so staff editors Joseph Schafer and Matt Breneman and I donned costumes and set out into the night in search of candy (and an entertaining story). The catch—we were visiting the houses of local celebrities in the community. We used our extensive Halloween expertise to rate the quality of their treats, how they greeted us and how spooky their decorations were.

Here are the results of our investigation.

Costumed crusaders with Mayor Bell

D. Michael Jon Hendricks Collins

Greeting: We were greeted by the mayoral candidate's wife, who was dressed as Clint Eastwood in The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. She was very friendly and lamented the fact that there were so few kids out having fun. Mr. Collins was on the phone and unable to come to the door.

Candy: Not just one, but two miniature Snickers bars.

Decorations: No Halloween-themed decorations, but the Collins family did have an Ohio State flag flying high.

Overall Grade: B+

www.toledocitypaper.com

Greeting: We encountered a disappointing surprise when we arrived to the grammy-winning singer's house in Ottawa Hills—he had actually moved in March of this year! Luckily, the trip wasn't a complete bust. The current tenants, Kirk and Lindsay McKenney, are friends with our newest contributing writer Dorian Slaybod and wanted to give him a shout-out.

‘What's up Dorian!’

Candy: Full-sized bags of Wild Berry Skittles.

Decorations: A pair of lit Jack-O-Lanterns guided us to the front door.

Overall Grade: B

Mike Bell

Greeting: Our current mayor was standing right out in front of his Old Orchard home, happily passing out candy.

He was quick to snap a picture with us, and commented that he loved trick or treating.

Candy: Two miniature bags of M & Ms. Decorations: Like the Collins’ household, Bell skipped out on putting up decorations this year.

Overall Grade: A-

November 06 • November 19

Diane Larson

Greeting: The nightly news anchor herself greeted us at the door, and was very apprehensive about why we were there. She forked over the candy, but wouldn't let us snap a picture.

Candy: One miniature bag of M & Ms. Decorations: None that we could see.

Overall Grade: C+

Workin’ at the car wash

Keeping the chrome shining

by Matt Breneman

Customers won’t need a price check here

New small business owners, Mark and Nikki Meyers are excited to announce the opening of Meyers Auto Wash at the corner of Heatherdowns and Key in South Toledo. But this isn’t your standard car wash; with a Key Westthemed environment and the latest in “green” technology, this car wash aims to offer an experience you can’t find anywhere else.

As a Montessori school teacher, Nikki realizes the value in offering a clean, bright, cheery location that caters to families with children. Throughout the wash, Ted the Turtle (mascot) reminds guests of how fun a car wash can be.

Their employees have gone through extensive training. Some customers have even compared the cleanliness and pleasantries to Disney World.

But it’s not just fun and games; with RFID technology, they offer guests a “pay as you go” plan called “Easy Breezy.” RFID technology is simply a sticker code that’s read as you enter the wash area, eliminating delay created while paying for the wash, easily accommodating the most hectic schedules.

The technology offers the very best in “green” car washes available while remaining cost effective at as low as $5.00 a wash. They also offer free vacuums and each guest receives a lollipop. And, they have a treat ready for your dog, as well.

The Meyers, a Toledo couple, have put a lot of energy into the dream of owning their own business. They have always supported the local economy.

“We have gone out of our way to make sure that through the building process we included as many local workers as possible,” Nikki said.

Since they opened, Nikki says “the community has been nothing but supportive of our venture... people have come by just to thank us for ‘beautifying the corner.’”

Meyers Auto Wash. 8am-8pm Monday-Saturday, 10am-6pm Sunday.

Happy happy joy joy Something stinks in City Politics By: Johnny Hildo

Rejoice and be thankful, kiddeez, for another campaign season has come and gone like last week’s garbage. Never mind that the stench still lingers on the breeze.

That rank odor could come from a variety of sources. Perhaps it’s the fact that the choice for Mayor came down to two yahoos with a slim plurality of voters in the Primary, when a vast majority split votes between two prominent Democrats. Like the wag once said, we didn’t just have to decide between the lesser of two evils, we were left with the evil of two lessers. When people turn to wistful nostalgia for those halcyon days of Smilin’ Jack Ford you can be certain the candidate field was littered with mediocrity.

Or maybe the air still reeks from the specter of Carty Finklestinker hovering over the proceedings. Whether it was pushing his septuagenarian former chief of staff down everybody’s throats or flashing his toothy grimace while touting his former nemesis J Fo as the next best thing, the Stinky One was in full campaign throat. While we write, the outcome is not yet decided, but if Run D.M.C. is elected and forced to vacate his Council seat, guess who’s sweating around the Adam’s apple to take that seat? Yep, there’s nobody Stinkier.

If the thought of a return to the reins of both J Fo and Carleton S isn’t enough to keep you up at night, you must be new to the city. We welcome you, and wish you every bit of good luck.

Parties up in smoke

That slightly sulfurous smell might not just be the Finktonian brimstone, though.

It could be the local Republican and Democratic Parties going up in smoke. The fact that neither major party had a horse in the Mayoral Derby is bad enough for their long-term outlooks. Add in the fact that the Rs official slate included folks who actually repudiated their endorsement or never sought it, plus a couple rattling loose screws and a complete wing nut, and you can see why real Rs stayed out of the way.

The Ds were just as odiferous. One of their number actually finished dead last in the Primary Election, and two more who finished in the top six said no way, Ronny

www.toledocitypaper.com

That sound you hear IS THE LOCAL ELECTORATE SNOOZING THROUG

H

to the thought of seeking the D endorsement. Thus two endorsed Ds, both incumbents by the by, finished out of the top six in the Primary, and the Ds couldn’t field a full General Election slate. Again, as we write we don’t know the outcome of the General, but the dismal D showing in the Primary has still left a dark stain across the electoral sky.

THE ELECTION

Politics is not warm and cozy

That stain may have come from the explosion of the D leadership, as the Executive Director was, then wasn’t, fired. And the annual fundraising dinner was canceled for lack of interest. And the D HQ is dormant and abandoned most days.

Or maybe the stink emanates from the mamby pamby “Clean Campaign Pledge” posturing. Since when is politics supposed to be all soft and fuzzy? Time was, elected officials used to get into occasional fisticuffs in local watering holes. Granted, sinking to the level of personal attacks seems a bit over the line of decency. Which of course we would never do. Except when we would.

But since when is calling into question your love of overseas travel on the taxpayer dime off limits for an opposing campaign? We say calls ‘em as you sees ‘em, and if your opponent’s rants call into question their lack of understanding of racism in Toledo, skewer them with it.

This isn’t tiddly winks. Heck, we aren’t really sure how to play tiddly winks, but politics is a full contact sport. Get in the ring and expect to get muddied. Sorta like Trick or Treating, which takes place during the unpredictable Toledo weather of late October. You want the candy? But you’re afraid of a little sleet stinging your fresh little face? Tough luck, Junior! You want the gusto, you gotta pay some dues!

Except this year a weather forecast postponed the Candy Run until further notice. A sign o’ the times. Weak campaign pledges, unexciting candidates placed before a doleful electorate, major parties who can’t bother to show up, and who emerges on top o’ the world?

The Fink. We got miles to go before we sleep, peeps.

The blotter Pulled from the pages of actual local police reports

Tales from the toilet bowl

A Bowling Green man was warned for criminal trespassing after police allegedly found him passed out on the toilet at a local Taco Bell on Saturday, October 12 at 3:24am. Police transported the man back to his home safely.

Eastern promises

Bowling Green police responded to a robbery at 1:00am on Sunday, October 20 at the 100 block of Biddle St. The victim allegedly had his $1000 samurai sword stolen during a party at his girlfriend’s house. There are currently no suspects in the case.

Cracked officer

Police apprehended a suspect on October 17 who they claim dressed at a lieutenant of the Lucas County Sheriff's office and collected donations on behalf of the department at a local carry-out. Officers also found crack cocaine in the man’s car.

Indecent exposure

Police are searching for an unknown suspect who they claim broke into The Tanning Center, located at 248 N, Main St. in Bowling Green, on September 26 at 5:06am. He allegedly then proceeded to break a door and throw up in one of the tanning rooms before fleeing the scene.

T he gru eli ng odyssey of Joseph Vogt’ s fi rst film.

Written by Alex Reisner | Photos by Joseph Vogt

www.toledocitypaper.com

After a few hours, he started to think,

“Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Grandma got up and killed every one of her daughters?”

A

lmost three years ago, Toledo photographer Joseph Vogt was sitting with his family enjoying Christmas dinner. His grandmother was reminiscing about a favorite recipe, but Vogt was distracted by the constant interruptions from his mother and aunts. Sometime after the meal was over, and considering the scene he had witnessed, he began thinking, “Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Grandma got up and killed every one of her daughters?”

That idea blossomed into his debut film, See You Next Tuesday, which will be shown at the Ohio Theatre on Saturday, November 16.

Nearly three years ago, Vogt began production on See You Next Tuesday, his first film. He finished a draft of the script just two months after that Christmas dinner with his grandmother, then spent the following six months securing producers, locations, his crew, and his cast. Filming would take more than two years. Vogt and his crew filmed throughout the Toledo area and in Grand Rapids, Waterville, and Perrysburg.

All proceeds from the screening of the film will benefit Pride 419, a fledgling Toledo nonprofit, championed by the star of the film, Ms. Gina Arnez. Mr. Vogt has worked in Toledo throughout his career as a fine art photographer and artist, and is proud to release his first film here. He boasts “this film is completely organic to the 419. There’s no element that we’ve outsourced away from that. If anybody wants to support Toledo art, this is their chance.”

Drawing stylistic influence from Alfred Hitchcock, Quentin Tarantino, John Waters, and Federico Fellini, See You Next Tuesday is simultaneously a slasher movie, an LGBT art film, and a think piece about anxiety and family perspective. Vogt describes the feel of the film as “very David Lynch.” Leading actress Danielle Welty describes it as more “f-ed up love story” than horror flick. Vogt himself thinks of it as “very ambiguous”.

Family dynamics The film focuses on the unique dynamic between a mother and her daughters, but the plot is open to interpretation.

Vogt wants to make his audience question where their sympathies lie. Some viewers will identify with the long-suffering mother of an intolerable daughter, while others will inevitably side with the character shedding the most blood. Vogt wants his audience to think about their perspective while they watch the film.

Vogt has been exploring the question of perspective throughout his photography career. He has shown his incisive portraits and still lifes in the Secor Galleries four times since 2008, at the Toledo Museum of Art twice, and most recently in New York City in The Story of the Creative. He maintains a studio in the Secor Building and often builds relationships with his models who confide in him, an impulse he doesn’t always understand. “I don’t know why people tell me their stories, but I’m grateful for it.” This honesty feeds his innate need to connect with people, which is deeply connected to his drive to create art. “People tell me their Continued on p. 12

Killing is Joseph Vogt’s (center) business, and business is good. stories, and I use that, not as a crutch, but to make them feel comfortable, to maintain the best possible relationship.

That’s where true happiness is, in the most open relationships.”

Casting and control The open relationships he formed through his photography led directly into the creation of See You Next Tuesday.

The first cast member Vogt approached for the film was Ms. Gina Arnez, a star female impersonator of the Toledo drag circuit, and a mainstay of the area’s LGBT community. She remembers their first photo shoot as “magic,” and says “Joe told me that he wouldn’t do the film if I wouldn’t sign on.” He wanted her because he “knew that she could pull off a very 1950s look, very beehive hair and pearls, very ‘mom.’ I wanted to keep that kind of fifties-sixties vibe.” She says they filmed See You Next Tuesday in weekslong bursts spread over the last three years, and laughs about the impromptu film schedule. “Joe could call me tomorrow and tell me we need to shoot more and I wouldn’t be surprised. He’s a perfectionist.”

Danielle Welty, a local actress, plays the daughter to Arnez’ mother. She had posed for Vogt “more times than I can remember” and was eager to act under his direction. Many of her scenes were physically strenuous, including one she refers to as “the beating sequence.” They filmed

12

November 06 • November 19

this scene on a cold November day in Ottawa Park. Welty says it was “fun,” and that “the funny thing about Gina is that she was afraid to hurt me.”

The cast and crew got used to his Kubrick-like directing style while working with him. Welty says that when they filmed in Ottawa Park, Vogt “spent an hour rearranging the leaves on the ground because they didn’t fall right.”

Vogt is unapologetic about his attention to detail, saying he “absolutely adores Shelley Duval in The Shining, because she was more broken than any other pony you’ve ever seen. [Kubrick] just mentally fragmented her, and she was a product that he had absolute control over, and that fascinates me. I’ve broken all of my actresses. All of them. There’s a part of the film, probably the most physically strenuous scene, and Danielle did it 45 times. When she didn’t get it right, we had to re-do it. As a director, you have to get it right.”

His pride in the final product is obvious. “It’s not for me to say if it’s good or not because you’re not going to believe me anyway. You have to see it and decide for yourself. I like it.”

Saturday, November 16, 8pm. $5. The Ohio Theatre, 3114 Lagrange St. Tickets are available for $5 online at brownpapertickets.com, where you can download your ticket directly to your phone to show it at the door. View two trailers and a brief synopsis of the film at jsvogt.com.

Keeping it real B.M. Chen delivers de-Americanized Chinese food

By Russ Axon

It’s easy to assume most Chinese restaurants fit into a fortune cookie cutter format—either bland, colorless dishes crammed with rice and beef, or a buffet offering equally bleak options. At least, that’s what’s expected of Americanized Chinese food.

Yayi and Bao Mo, a husband and wife team from China, wanted to better represent their homeland’s dishes—they wanted food that followed traditional recipes and focused more on flavor and presentation.

Enter B.M. Chen.

Located near the intersection of Airport and Reynolds, in what was formerly a Long John Silver’s, the restaurant opened at the start of May. It has established itself as a standout proprietor of authentic Chinese food with picturesque dishes cooked via classical Chinese techniques that emphasize dynamic flavors and zesty sauces.

While establishing a restaurant is no small feat, the Mo’s success is more impressive considering they are not fluent in English. The couple immigrated to the U.S. about 10 years ago, working at the popular Flower Drum (another Toledo Chinese restaurant on Byrne near Hill) until a few years ago.

The Mo’s say, assisted by two restaurant employees who translated for them, they noticed an influx of Chinese and Asian exchange students from the University of Toledo who would stop in seeking homestyle cooking, claiming Flower Drum was one of a few Toledo Chinese restaurants that satisfied; the food at other restaurants was too

Every dish is made following recipes the Mo’s brought with them from China, and the chefs utilize traditional techniques —less microwaving, deep frying and opening pre-made packets of sauces; more cooking proteins on superheated iron skillets, mixing ingredients for custom sauces, and shaping flour and rice for sweet desserts.

Poison Tongues

The Toledo Rep breathes new life into Arsenic and Old Lace

By Scott Angles

Toxic smiles from (L-R) Gail Lynne Frederick, Bill Quinlin and Deb Shaffer Old maids poisoning lonely old men with homemade wine, a brother convinced he’s Teddy Roosevelt and alcohol-fueled plastic surgery: these are just a few of the overarching quirks in the darkly-comedic play “Arsenic and Old Lace,” presented by the Toledo Repertoire Theater this month.

“Arsenic and Old Lace” was written in 1939 by American playwright Joseph Kesselring and opened on January 10, 1941. The play closed in 1944 after a staggering total of 1,444 performances.

The New York Times wrote a review of the play on its opening night saying that the performance was, “so funny that none of us will ever forget it.” Now thanks to the Toledo Repertoire Theater, Toledoans will be able to experience this hilariously-bizarre American classic.

The plot of a family affair

The plot of “Arsenic and Old Lace” revolves around the drama critic Mortimer Brewster, his fiance Elaine Harper and his—to put it lightly—eccentric family.

Brewster, who is having difficulty deciding whether or not to marry his sweetheart, is forced to negotiate this trying decision while dealing with an increasing number of bizarre crises caused by his humorously unhinged family. The play proceeds to weave a story of macabre and ridiculous hilarity that would make even the strangest household seem normal.

The play is directed by Rosie Best, a native of the United Kingdom who has lived in the Toledo area for the last 20 years. She remains active in the local arts scene as an actor, dialect coach and

www.toledocitypaper.com

director. She most recently served as director for Toledo Rep’s production of “Fiddler on the Roof.”

“Arsenic and Old Lace” made its way into the Rep’s season democratically.

“The former artistic director conducted a survey where he interviewed audience members about what plays they would like us to perform,” Best said. “This was the number one request he received.” She intends to give the people what they want.

An American original

In the upcoming performance, Best plans to stick to the classic version of the play as it was first drafted. “Our rendition will be a very traditional one,” Best said.

“The play is very much an American original. I initially had never heard of the play, being from England, but after reading the script I think that it sits well and makes for a very strong comedy.”

The mixture of unpredictability and humor makes Arsenic and Old Lace a play Best feels cannot be missed.

“It’s the unexpected quality of it that I like,” Best said. “We live in a very tragic time and we need something to lift us up.

It’s the play’s ability to accomplish this that makes it truly delightful. I think that the arts are the noblest subject,” Best continued. “They give us opportunities to laugh at ourselves and raise us up from the everyday ‘blah.’”

“Arsenic and Old Lace.” November 8-10, 14-17, 8pm Friday-Saturday, 2:30pm Sunday. $20 adults, $18 seniors, $10 students, $5 children 12 and under. 10th Street Stage, Toledo Repertoire Theatre. 16 10th St. 419-243-9277. toledorep.org.

Tip your waiter

Edmund Lingan's been a busy boy. The Chair and Associate Professor of Theatre at the University of Toledo, in addition to teaching his classes, is directing a student production of “Out to Lunch,” a play Lingan himself wrote in 2002. The play, a farcical comedy, follows a group of workers at a restaurant desperate to make two "camper" customers leave.

One thing leads to another, and pretty soon all bets—and gloves—are off.

Lingan said of his play, "With brazen, hysterical comedy, ‘Out to Lunch’ ponders the obsession with internet porn, the distance between human beings that sometimes results from cyber-communication and the unfathomable motivations that lead to mass murder." Friday, November 15. 7:30pm. Runs through Sunday, November 24. Center for Performing Arts, UT Main Campus, Towerview & W Rocket Blvd.

The business of creating / cultivating art Jules Webster is as fired up as her art

by Jan Thomas

Jules Webster, ceramic artist and owner of downtown emporium, The Art Supply Depo, seems to have the entrepreneurial ambition it takes to run a successful business. After graduating from UT in 2005 with a BFA in Studio Ceramics, she started Shine Ceramics in 2006, and ran the ceramic studio at the now-defunct Space 237. But making the hand-thrown dinnerware decorated with birds, fish and flowers inspired by folklore (and a naughty series of mugs replete with smart-ass remarks, for laughs) wasn’t a hobby, it was a job. She admits, “From a young age, I always thought of ways to make money and always expected to work for myself.”

Promoting the arts community

Fearless marketing skills and Jules’s contagious enthusiasm made both early endeavors a success, pushing her closer to owning and operating The Art Supply Depo. The upbeat store’s fresh environment has become a thriving center of creativity. It’s the fusion between her training in art paired with a pro-active interest in promoting downtown Toledo’s creative community. Webster, paying

www.toledocitypaper.com

close attention to artists’ needs, makes hard-to-find art supplies available, attracting a sizable following of both new and veteran artists along the way.

Increasing the appreciation of the process through making art is Webster’s impetus for offering a menu of classes at both basic (i.e. Demystifying Composition) and innovative levels (like Cartooning and Animation), catering to all ages and skill levels. “There are so many things you can teach people about art,” Webster says, excited about helping people build creative confidence. “It’s extremely empowering to teach someone to create something that never existed before they put their hands on it.”

The Depo’s popular monthly BYOB event, Drink and Draw (with live models and great music), is offered the fourth Tuesday of each month for a minimal fee. It has proven to be fun, inspirational and well-attended.

Firing again

But opening the store and the demands of the retail business over the last two years have kept Webster from her ceramics work. Recently, she has re-

turned to making plates with a fresh and more contemporary look, employing graphic patterns and ambitious color. “I see them as an experiment in line and color,” she says. “In the store, I’m surrounded by color and racks of paint. The color excites me. I’m enthralled and captivated by how color and form affect one another.

There are so many fascinating combinations.” Jules is currently working on a large installation of plates displayed on the wall of the store to give the illusion of movement. She considers it a work in progress, far from completion, but looks forward to adding more combinations of color and pattern.

Jules Webster’s work is exhibited at the Art Supply Depot, 29 South St. Clair. Enjoy the closing reception from noon-5pm during the Arts Commission’s Holiday Loop, on Saturday, November 16. Free.

Taking a “Whole Different Direction”

Tom Lingeman, veteran artist and head honcho of the UT sculpture department, has long been known for his bronze and steel sculptures and towering monuments. Saturday, November 16 until Saturday, December 14, the Secor Gallery will hold an exhibit of his work made specifically for this show. Inspired by events in his life, including a medical wake up call, his being in Germany on VE Day, major construction on the road that he lives on and his little dog, Tallie, Lingeman has created this new work.

The show, entitled, Warning Signs, features work created in media new to him, including sculpted plaster, autonomic sign-like paintings, drawings, and two digital video loops called “a walk in the park,” one filmed from a rented wheelchair in NYC’s Central Park and the other from a stroller in Washington DC. Lingeman explains, “[my work has] taken a whole different direction. It’s all new work, it’s all experimental.”

Tom Lingeman has shown internationally and has permanent local installations in the Juvenile Justice Center, Sylvania’s Olander Park and at the University of Toledo.

The opening reception for Warning Signs, (one of the stops on the Art Commission’s Holiday Loop.) will be on Saturday, November 16 from 4-11pm, with live jazz by The Lori LefevreTrio.

From voice to video

The rise of Little Elephant studio, and their transition to video

by Joseph Schafer In a crowded, well-lit living room, a band is performing for two men with digital cameras. The band—The Traveling Suitcase—hasn’t performed in Toledo, but came here between tour dates in Wisconsin and New York to be videotaped by Rob Courtney and Brian Gross-Bias after seeing the duo’s work on Youtube. Together, those two men own and operate Little Elephant Recording Studio, and are among the most ambitious music entrepreneurs in Toledo.

Courtney, a Toledoan, and Gross-Bias, a Georgia native, interned together at Aire Born studios in Indianapolis, where they attended school at Butler University. As seniors, they decided to move to Toledo to start a recording studio. “The idea for the name came from : Little Studio, Big Sound. Little Elephant,” says Courtney. Little Elephant studio opened in June, 2011.

Turning Point

Courtney says the turning point— when Little Elephant went from just another studio to being one of the definitive music recording studios of Toledo — was when they recorded local ukulele duo The LeLes. “The duo attracts the young and old crowd,” Courtney said. In early 2012, that group managed a highly successful drive to raise capital on the crowd-funding website Kickstarter. The effort was so successful that their promotional material made it to the website's front page.

By association, the Little Elephant name went in front of thousands of eyes.

The studio rents space inside a Rossford home owned by Courtney’s parents.

“They're our investors,” he quips. The Little Elephant home is now a fullyfunctioning studio with a virtual mixing board, isolation booths, a large collection of tube amplifiers and a drum room. The studio holds so much equipment, in fact, that Courtney requested that the address not be printed.

34

November 06 • November 19

From hardcore to pop music, the studio takes all comers. In 2012, Little Elephant was booking studio time three months in advance. The formula works, and Courtney and Gross-Bias make a profit so long as they keep artists in their booths. During down time, they need to get creative.

Going Viral

“We had two cancellations in a row,” leaving the pair with an unexpected block of available time. Courtney and Gross-Bias filmed three videos in the house’s living room. Despite the pair’s lack of prior video experience, the videos went viral within the local Toledo music scene anyway. Shortly, they decided to create a website exclusively for videos. Little Elephant Live now garners more hits than their recording studio's website. Little Elephant Live has videotaped bands across all genres, from psychedelic collective Tree No Leaves, to grindcore act Serpent Speech.

As of October 2013, more bands seek out Little Elephant for videos than to record albums. “We're trying to make this a true video website that people from all over the country will visit,” Courtney says. Little Elephant's ambition is paying off—the studio recently recorded the band Sundowner, whose 2013 album Neon Fiction garnered critical acclaim nationwide. Little Elephant has taped several touring bands that have not played locally, like The Traveling Suitcase. When Courtney is accused of abandoning his local roots, he retorts: “We are trying to do this to make things better for Toledo. We want to bring more bands to Toledo. We have Toledo in our hearts.”

And Toledo truly isn’t far from Courtney and Gross-Bias's minds—the downtown Toledo skyline is the background on the Little Elephant Live website. littleelephantlive.com

PLAY BOOK All apples, no discord The quest for good apples, and the people you meet along the way

By Dorian Slaybod

I barely covered my ears before an antique cannon shot fake fire over the Maumee River with enough force to make me skip a breath. To my right, a man dressed as Mark Twain, wearing a white suit and a black Colonel Sanders bow tie, nodded approvingly. On my left, a woman wearing a white bonnet and a blue dress that looked like it was made of bonnets returned to spinning yarn on a wooden wheel. It was at that moment that I thought, “There must be an easier way to find apple butter.”

The town of Grand Rapids holds their Apple Butter Festival every year on October’s second Sunday. This was the 37th festival, which included a live apple butter stir, a juried craft show, and historical reenactments of pioneer America. There was also a live bald eagle. All the festival needed was a choreographed fireworks display and a Tom Brady autograph signing to be the most American event of all time.

I sampled pumpkin preserves, lilac jam, and “mystery meat” from a woodfired spit (I think it was bologna). I tried everything except, well, apple butter. A man in denim overalls let me stir a batch in a giant kettle with a six-foot brush—I was a natural—but the festival ran out of

take-home jars while I waited in line. In Ohio’s autumn, apples become as desired as gold.

An apple appellation

Bob MacQueen delivered instructions to his grandson, Zach, on where to direct a butane blowtorch.

Bob’s trucker cap framed his frosty eyebrows. “Up a little higher,” Bob said, as Zach lit an indoor heater.

A few minutes later, a woman walked in to the warehouse to order some bushels of apples for a shopper at the Cider Mill next door. “That was my aunt,” said Zach.

Only four years ago, Zach was a senior at Ohio State—now he helps manage operations. A man whisked behind us and into a storage room. “That was my dad,” said Zach. The MacQueen Orchard is a family business.

MacQueen Apple Orchard has grown apples since 1936. A couple of the original trees, in fact, are still standing. But MacQueen’s did not become an “entertainment farm”—allowing guests to pick their own apples while kids take train rides through tree-lined runways—until the early 1960’s.

Dorian tries his hand at churning apple bu tter at the The farm grew thirty acres of peaches one summer that, unpredictably, all became ripe at once. The family was unable to pick all the peaches on their own, so they invited the public out to the farm in a newspaper ad. “It was kind of a mistake, but it worked out,” said Bob. They sold all of their peaches and, a few years later, they invited people out to the farm to pick apples. Now, almost fifty years after their first public apple picking, people continue to flock to their farm each fall in order to rip twenty-six varieties directly from the tree branches, and to pick up donuts so fresh that you have to wait for them to cool

before eating.

“I think I was always kind-of meant to be here,” said Zach, a fourth-generation apple farmer. “I grew up here. These trees have been here my whole life... and it doesn’t feel like work.”

The sun had sunk low in the sky as the last visitors of the evening packed their cars to drive home. Zach and his grandfather wished me goodbye, and then walked back towards the orchard to prepare for more pickers to arrive the next day.

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

STYLE SENSE

Interview by Jordan Killam

Sam Barton, Artist

We all do it. I admit I Facebook stalked Sam Barton, but only because I loved her work so much. Through social media, I discovered she was not only a fantastic artist, but had a fierce sense of style. Barton takes risks in both fashion and in her artwork. She creates pieces that force us to confront our ethics and ask ourselves, “Who is in charge here?”

The answer is simple: Sam Barton.

So you mentioned you plan to dress as Babe-raham Lincoln for Halloween. US Presidents are sometimes the subject of your artwork. Are you “repping the brand” or making a political statement?

The Balancing Act

I would say a little of column A and a little of column B. I like to think that there could be humor, branding, and a hidden political statement in all the things I do. I like to poke fun at patriarchy, the objectification of women, and “celebrity” status, but most of all, I just really love the movie “Wayne’s World” (hopefully some of you will get that reference).

Students, friends and family gathered for a viewing party to celebrate Paulette's appearance on The Balancing Act program on Lifetime.

What are the benefits of having one side of your head shaved. Do you experience faster morning prep time?

The ONLY benefits of having one side shaved is: a) Finally being able to rep Sandra Denton from Salt-n-Pepa b) Mad compliments. Other than that, it’s a total

Paulette and her father, Jerry.

pain! I do not get ready any faster, and I do not want to even THINK about the growing out process!

And my oh my are the Ohio winter winds cold against my head!

It’s hard to believe you are only 5 feet tall because your outfits convey a sense of strength. Would you consider your clothes to be more of a jet pack or body armor?

I have always thought of my clothing more as body armor. It’s probably a Napoleonic complex, but I do what I can to appear strong, capable, respectable, and in charge.

As my friend always says to me, “You may be small, but you got it all”!!
