Managing editor’s statement

101 and counting I hear it all the time: “Toledo’s so boring. There’s nothing to do here.” The next time you hear someone say those words, please hand them a copy of this issue. I admit: When our editorial team decided to come up with a list of “101 ways to spend 101 days” in Northwest Ohio, I thought it might be difficult. I imagined our stream of ideas running dry around No. 70 or so and really having to dig deep to finish the list. As it turned out, we had the opposite problem. In no time at all, we had a list of nearly 150 regional activities and destinations. We pared the list to 101 a few times only to think of new ones to add. Sarah OTTNEY Nearly every day for several weeks, I’d come into work to find an idea from a co-worker in an email or on a sticky note, or someone poking their head around the door frame to say, “What about this?” Picking the brains of some of our friends and regular contributors yielded more activities I wasn’t aware of, including a Sunday afternoon community drum circle in the Old West End, virtual golf at Tamaron Country Golf Club’s Indoor Golf Center and Bird’s Eye View Circus Space, a new studio at the Collingwood Arts Center offering lessons in aerial silks, trapeze, acro yoga and more. I started paying more attention to Facebook posts and event invitations, where I learned about Glass City Café’s Saturday morning breakfast music series. Driving around town with new eyes, I started to notice things I’d never noticed before, like the Toledo Firefighters Museum just down the street from Boyd’s Retro Candy Store. The weekend of July 20-21 alone offers the opportunity to take in worldclass golf at the LPGA’s Marathon Classic in Sylvania, groove to the sounds of more than 40 local musicians at 11 UpTown venues during The Arts Commission’s SoundTrek, get your Jiggs Dinner fix at the Toledo Hibernian Irish Festival Downtown or admire the riverfront as Wynonna Judd performs at Hollywood Casino Toledo’s outdoor summer concert series. I’m inspired by local resident Sherry Stanfa-Stanley, who recently decided she needed to break out of a “30-year slump.” As reported by Staff Writer Evan Brune, Stanfa-Stanley is now almost two months into a quest to have 52 new experiences in the 52 weeks leading up to her 52nd birthday. So far, she’s entered a pizza-eating contest, taken a belly dancing class, auditioned for “Survivor,” been hypnotized and more. It’s never too late to look around and see how much Northwest Ohio has to offer. We could have easily doubled our list and still been forced to leave things off. In the end, we decided to choose our 101 with the goal of touching on as many points of interest as possible. We listed them in no particular order but grouped them by category for ease of reading and include a disclaimer that the list was far from exhaustive. So let us know: Which of your favorites did we miss? Email us at news@toledofreepress.com. O

Free from hunger 2013

By Paige Shermis

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer pshermis@toledofreepress.com

It’s 11:30 on a Tuesday morning, and children are starting to trickle in to the Believe Center in South Toledo. They’ve just returned from the library, and sit at tables in the Believe Center’s cafeteria, poring over the worksheets they got there. Teenagers sit by and help the kids as needed with the reading. Then, finally, it’s lunchtime. The Believe Center is one of 86 sites served by Feed Lucas County Children (FLCC), a nonprofit started by Tony Siebeneck with the goal of providing nutritious meals to the 33,000 children in the county who live below the poverty line. Founded in 2002, Siebeneck, a former agronomist, started the charity in 2002 after reading an article and then researching child hunger in the area. “After nine months of grassroots research, I found out that the problem was a lot worse than what I was reading about. In life, we have more people that are talkers than doers about problems. We are not talkers, we are doers. To me, people talk about things, but they really have no intentions about doing something to help others. I do,” Siebeneck said.

Feed Lucas County Children seeking new kitchen, plans July 27 family event

Home base

FLCC is based in the old Macomber High School building on Monroe Street. Here, all the food is cooked, and is then taken or picked up to be distributed at one of FLCC’s sites. On any given day, the place is bustling. Vans from the feeding sites, which range from churches to apartment complexes to parks, are loaded with food for delivery. Volunteers in red shirts move about the warehouselike space, moving bins of food to their correct spot in rows of movable metal shelves. Coolers are stacked at the back of the large room. It’s clear that the charity is running out of space. Siebeneck’s office is next to the kitchen. Awards and newspaper clippings line its walls, sharing space with large checks from corporate sponsors such as Walmart and GM Powertrain. He shares the office with a small number of paid part-time employees.

Feed Lucas County CHildren founder Tony Siebeneck helps prepare food at the organization’s building July 17.

Siebeneck himself flits about the office with vigor, seemingly tackling many tasks at once. He quickly takes care of a volunteer’s request for a gas card, and then takes a phone call: an employee has car trouble. Siebeneck remains nonplussed. “Ten years ago, there was no organization in this county that was

committed to reaching out to more kids in need, especially during summertime,” he said. “I’m an agronomist. I worked with plants, plant diseases, plant bacteria, viruses. I worked in the ag industry. I worked with the raw food end of it. What I did was help educate the public in what they call more sustainable ag-

riculture. I did that for many years as a career, as an agronomist, and it was very rewarding. But when I discovered that there was this many kids going without — let’s put it this way: You’re only on Earth for so long, but I’m a firm believer that you have to give back to others but you never know when it might be your turn ...

that’s what life’s all about.” FLCC is not a faith-based organization, but Siebeneck is a committed Catholic who laughingly calling himself a “fish-eater.” As a result of his community outreach, Siebeneck is often invited to different church services to speak. n FEED CHILDREN CONTINUES ON 7

n FEED CHILDREN CONTINUED FROM 6 “Sometimes my wife will ask me, ‘What are you tomorrow?” tomorrow being Sunday. I’m Methodist, I’m Baptist, I’m Presbyterian. I do enjoy that, going to different church services. It’s kind of neat, the different things you learn, see, and hear,” he said. Siebeneck has been married to wife Therese for 26 years. They have four children: Matthew, 25, Luke, 24, Emily, 23 and Paul, 21. All four were in college at the same time at one point. “We are very fortunate, a very healthy family, good kids. They’ve stayed out of trouble,” he said. Siebeneck was born and raised on a dairy farm in Indian Lake, Ohio, and he can deeply relate to much of the work he does today. “When I grew up, I know what it was like being hungry, too. I’ve been there myself. My parents separated when I was 9 years old, and even though I was so active in the farm operation, I lived with my mother and

three other siblings,” he said. Siebeneck got his first job at 12 years old to support his mother, who received little in the divorce settlement. He and his older brother Carl have been taking care of her mother ever since; today, she is 95 and in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

Feeding the children

“The children that we feed are the ones receiving free or reduced lunches in school. When school lets out for the summer, but there are no school meals. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think kids quit eating when the summer comes. What we do is bridge that gap from child hunger from the time school stops to the time school starts in the fall,” Siebeneck said. “We have so many wonderful people in this county. Around Thanksgiving and Christmas there’s a lot of people that give, but the general public doesn’t realize that the needs are greater in the summer than they are in the winter.” Toledo is rated the seventh worst

A Toledo tradition since 2005 city in the country in terms of hunger. “Some people don’t want to know about hunger, but it’s like lava … it’s just flowing out there. Everyone thinks that in the inner city in Toledo, that’s where the hunger’s at, but we are feeding kids from either side of this county,” he said. Each day, FLCC provides kids with up to two meals a day at any given site. Children who show up for food get more than just a nutritious meal. “What we like to do is embrace food with educational components during the summertime. Many of these sites will have some type of activity or educational aspect. It could be physical fitness, reading, math, or just taking that kickball outside and giving them something physical to do,” Siebeneck said. The majority of the sites run fives days a week, but some are functional for seven. FLCC is able to keep its 86 sites open by partnering with organizations like the Believe Center to spread the word and draw in children. “What we hear every year— heaven forbid — is that if Feed Lucas County Children ever stopped feeding the children, that all those organization would lose their foundation that drives kids to these programs … food draws kids. If they’re hungry, they come. It’s almost like entrapment, they come to eat, and while they’re here, you’re going to learn something,” Siebeneck said. Stephen Goldman, professor emeritus of University of Toledo, is one of the members of FLCC’s board of directors. “In the few years we have been in place, we have provided a million meals to poor children. The meals we have provided are wellbalanced, nutritious, and at no cost,” Goldman said. Siebeneck said that serving healthy food was the goal from the start. “There is no fried food. We steam the majority of the food that we serve, which is very rare out there. We operate the largest hot, balanced meal program in the state,” Siebeneck said. In the main kitchen at Macomber, one main chef prepares up to 7,200

meals a day, with the force of the 200some FLCC volunteers. Most of the volunteers heard of the program through word-of-mouth or through visibility at the sites. Volunteers are trained, even on site, and are monitored. Dorothy Thomas is a new volunteer at Beatty Park. “Children need food. I’ve been with the football team [the Mid City Spartans] for the last couple of years. A lot of times, kids come out there and they haven’t eaten or they might go home and not have anything to eat. This program is very beneficial to them,” she said. Jessica Robinson, 18, helps feed and supervise the kids at the Believe Center. She benefited from the program as a child. “It’s good, they feed you good,” Robinson said. Each FLCC site’s schedule is suited to its location. “Each site is especially design to fit what that neighborhood’s trying to do. Some sites serve breakfast and lunch, some lunch and a snack in the afternoon (after physical activities). Some places serve a dinner. We are in a lot of the parks at night. It works out well, unless it rains. We have been pounded by rain this summer, and that makes it a little more difficult. But we just keep pushing and keep going,” Siebeneck said. Siebeneck stressed that while parental education is important in improving the feeding habits of their children, simple seminars don’t work. “You can’t show up in a coat and tie and have a meeting with neighborhoods and then walk away. Meetings don’t feed children,” he said. FLCC’s efficiency and personalized planning pays off. It serves twice as many children as averaged by similar programs across the nation. “Washington is looking at our food model right now … and there’s a possibility that our food model will be copied and used in different states,” Siebeneck said.

Dire need

As Siebeneck and his employees are fighting to end child hunger, they face another massive hurdle: They need a new kitchen facility to prepare

their food, and fast. “Right now, we are in desperate need of expanding this kitchen. We can feed more kids if we can get more cooking equipment and more space. As soon as we can hit our goal with this expansion project, Lucas County will be the first county in the state of Ohio to end summer hunger,” Siebeneck said. FLCC has never publicly solicited donations, and Siebeneck stresses that the current fundraiser is a “one-time deal.” “This is the one time we really need the public to step up to the table between now and Christmas, to see this kitchen be made a reality,” he said. The new kitchen facilities will cost from $800,000 to $1.3 million. “I have confidence, and I am a firm believer, that as soon as the community finds out the situation that we’re in, that we are going to get through this problem. This project is so tangible and transparent: the money is going to go into space and cooking equipment and food that feeds children. I don’t think anybody could find a better cause right now,” Siebeneck said.

Awareness Family Festival

For its first large-scale fundraising event, FLCC is hosting the Hunger Awareness Family Festival from 2-9 p.m. July 27 at the field on the corner of Centennial and Brint roads in Sylvania. “Dr. Carol Bennett-Clarke at UT, one of the medical professors, and 24 of her medical students came out a month ago with me … and we painted the largest MyPlate in the U.S. It’s a halfacre big, on a tarp,” Siebeneck said. The MyPlate is a governmentissued graphic that depicts the suggested proportion of fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy and protein on a person’s plate and cup. Squares were painted onto the half-acre MyPlate. For the fundraiser, FLCC is selling each square for $40. A helicopter will throw assorted food items from above onto the grid, with a cash prize for the owners of the squares the food lands on. Also, the helicopter will toss down 50 T-shirts. The Hunger Awareness Festival will feature food and live music, including performances by Abby Ray and Distant Cousinz. Ray wrote a special song about hunger for the festival. FLCC will also hold a Twylite Thursday fundraiser at The Pinnacle on Aug. 15. Siebeneck, the man who has served 1.3 million meals to hungry children, doesn’t mince words when it comes to the adeptness of his charity. “Ninety-three percent of every dollar we get goes back to the program. That’s very high. We don’t take a backseat to anybody when it comes to efficiency,” he said. O

RELIGION

CedarCreek Church, UT offer free medical clinic By David Yonke

EDITOR, TOLEDOFAVS.COM

David.Yonke@ReligionNews.com

“Two years ago, they said I died,” Barbara Huntley said with a sigh, looking frustrated but very much alive. Her brush with death had nothing to do with health; it was the result of a mix-up with the federal government. “Someone with my name died, but it wasn’t me. I keep telling them it’s not me who’s dead,” Huntley said with a shrug. The red tape hassle led the 82-year-old Toledoan to seek free medical help at a clinic that is open every HUNTLEY Thursday night at CedarCreek Church’s South Toledo campus. Huntley’s doctor suggested she go to the clinic because the exams, lab work and prescriptions are all free. “I think it’s excellent. I just wish my doctor had told me about it

sooner,” she said. What kind of medical concerns led her to visit the clinic? “I’m old!” Huntley said with a laugh. The health care is provided by the University of Toledo’s Community Care Clinic, involving several physicians and more than 200 health care students from UT’s medical, nursing, physician’s assistant and pharmacy schools. Dr. Richard Paat, a Perrysburg internist, founded the clinic in 2012 in Perrysburg Heights. The clinic moved to CedarCreek’s South Toledo campus, at 2150 S. Byrne Road, on March 28. Anyone who walks in between 6 and 8 p.m. will be treated on a firstcome, first-served basis. People start lining up around 4:30 p.m. and the last patients — and volunteers — leave between midnight and 1 a.m., according to Steve Whitlow, a CedarCreek member who helps coordinate the clinic. Coinciding with the health clinic, CedarCreek recently began serving free community meals during the same time slot, feeding about 100 people per week. It’s separate from the health clinic and the meals are free to

anyone who comes in. Chef John Kusner, 30, said he learned his trade at the Toledo Country Club and has also cooked for Cherry Street Mission Ministries. His volunteer work at CedarCreek utilizes his diverse background as a chef, he said. “God gives us all something, he gives us all a purpose,” Kusner said. “God has prepared me to serve nice meals, with quantity for many people. I feel like it’s all coming together.” Doctors and medical students involved in the health care clinic said they find it rewarding to give back to the community. “Most of the people who come here don’t have insurance,” said Christopher Traner, 23, a secondyear medical student from Strongsville, Ohio. “Many are homeless or come from halfway houses and shelters. But we treat anyone that wants to come. We don’t actually check [if they have insurance].” Dr. Kevin Phelps, 52, a family practice physician, said clinic patients are “the neediest of people because they really haven’t had con-

tinuity in medical care.” Many have routine health issues such as diabetes and hypertension, he said, “but it’s all untreated, undiagnosed or underdiagnosed. And they don’t have any resources, so it’s very challenging.” Kishor Kapa, 23, a second-year PHELPS medical student who helps run the clinic, said he feels an obligation to “fill the gap that exists in our health care system.” “I can see the disparity in health care that we have today, and I really want to do what I can to help out,” he said. “I’m only a medical student so I can’t do too much, but I think it’s really important just being here and just offering the services that we can for people who need it.” It’s particularly rewarding, he said, when he knows that patients appreciate his efforts. “It’s always rewarding at the end of the night, even when we go till mid-

night or 1 a.m.,” Kapa said. “And especially when the patients come and thank us for being here because they had nowhere else to go.” Douglas Roy, 52, visits the clinic often and is grateful for the free care. “I work, but I can’t afford health insurance,” he said. “I have high blood pressure and I’ve been working real hard at losing weight, and there are some different issues along with that that are popping up.” He said he couldn’t afford the prescription medications he gets for free at the clinic. “If you as a person are willing to come out here and sit and wait — there’s some inconvenience to it — you can get legitimate health care,” Roy said. “This is something that is good for America. This is what we stand for, helping each other.” O David Yonke is the editor and community manager of Toledo Faith & Values (ToledoFAVS.com), a website that provides in-depth, nonsectarian news coverage of religion, faith and spirituality in the Toledo area.

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer charper@toledofreepress.com

Toledo’s newest anchorwoman has had a whirlwind of a week. Moving boxes stacked throughout her apartment, a 7-month-old baby girl just starting to crawl and a new job in a new town have been her welcome to Ohio. Annette Falconer will join “WNWO Today” as a new anchorwoman July 22. “We don’t have any family or friends here but we’re hoping Toledo can become our family,” Falconer said. “They’ve been good to us so far.” Falconer worked for two years at KLTV, a news station in East Texas. She said she wants to bring a “sense of relaxation” to the show. “I want people to depend on me

but also get to know me,” Falconer said. “I want to be on a really personal level with the community. I really want to be the person to deliver the news to them, be quick, be accurate but also be friendly. I want them to turn the TV on and , ‘Hey it’s Annette!’” Falconer said she always knew she wanted to work in television. “I’ve always interviewed people,” she said. “When I was little and [people] got married, I would interview the bride and groom and all the siblings and just gather it together on a big video. I’ve always been really big in writing down history. I’ve always done it for all my friends’ weddings.” The camera doesn’t intimidate Falconer. She said she enjoys being on camera and doesn’t struggle with nerves. “I love talking to people and being

out there in the spotlight,” she said. “My family would say that I’m not shy at all so I think that is what helped me. I get more nervous talking to someone one-onone than talking to a camera with 20,000 people watching me.” Jim Blue, WNWO news director, said, “Annette is a wonderful addition to ‘WNWO Today.’ She brings the perspective of a young mom involved in our community and interested in everything Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan have to offer. You’ll see her all around town engaged in the activities that make the Toledo area such a great place to live.” WNWOFalconer said she took the new job because she wanted to work in the mornings so she could spend more time with her daughter Brynlee. “She will smile at anyone, anytime,” Falconer said. “She is such a happy little baby. Everywhere we go we talk about what a happy baby she is. But she is starting to crawl so that means trouble, because she’s starting to get into everything.” Falconer said she and her husband plan to buy a home and settle into Toledo. “I want to be in this area,” she said. “We plan on raising our family here.” Falconer graduated from Brigham Young University with a major in broadcast journalism. She did beauty pageants for four years and was Miss Dallas USA in 2004. “I used to do pageants a long time ago and I loved talking to people and being out in the community,” Falconer said. “That’s when I decided that I liked being involved and talking to people but really it was before then. I always had the niche I just didn’t put my finger on it until pageants.” Despite the hectic week of moving and caring for a child, Falconer looks forward to bringing Toledo its news every morning. “I just hope people give me a chance,” she said. “I’m giving Toledo a chance and I hope people give me a chance.” O

101 Things To Do 19

A Toledo tradition since 2005

By Evan Brune

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer ebrune@toledofreepress.com

Fifty-two new experiences in 52 weeks is one Toledo-area woman’s way of changing her life. Sherry Stanfa-Stanley, director of communications at the University of Toledo Foundation and a writer of fiction and humor, decided she needed to break out of a 30-year slump. “I realized I’ve spent the last 30 years doing pretty much the same thing,” Stanfa-Stanley said. “At some point, we grudgingly decide to keep doing the same thing or we can embrace change. I decided to embrace change.” She started with a trip to Italy and eventually sold her house and moved into a condo. “It was time for a change in my life. It was kind of scary, but kind of liberating at the same time,” Stanfa-Stanley said. “Then I thought, ‘What else can I do? What other changes can I make?’” These questions led to a plan: 52 new experiences in the 52 weeks leading up to her 52nd birthday. Stanfa-Stanley is now almost two months into her plan. She documents her experiences on a Facebook page

titled “The 52/52 Project.” “As a humor writer, a lot of the things were crazy, silly things [at first],” she said. “But a lot of new readers have been really excited and charged. A few have called me an inspiration. So, I’m adding a few serious ones that are more thought-provoking.” These experiences have included entering a pizza-eating contest, taking a belly dancing class, visiting an adult bookstore, visiting a synagogue and going without caffeine for a week. “It’s good to challenge myself,” Stanfa-Stanley said. “I’m hoping that this changes my life.” While many of the things on her list are relatively simple to set up, like eating chocolate-covered insects, others will prove to be a challenge. “I have a few ideas that will be difficult to set up, logistically,” she said. “For example, I want to spend a night in jail, and I’d rather not go the oldfashioned way.” Stanfa-Stanley plans to spend a night in a haunted house, work for a day on a farm, work as a street mime and do a stand-up routine at a comedy club. “That [last] one’s honestly probably the most terrifying on the list,” she said.

One of Stanfa-Stanley’s larger projects is running a 5K. “I haven’t run in 20 years. I was never a runner. A few of the things on the list take just a few minutes to do, but this will take months,” she said. Her other big event was to audition for the reality TV show “Survivor.” “Fortunately, it didn’t involve any physical activity,” she said. “We had to come up with a one-minute spiel for the producers on why we thought we should be on the show.” Stanfa-Stanley also tried hypnosis. “It always kind of intrigued me,” she said. “The jury’s still out, but I think it was possible that I was hypnotized. I remember sitting there thinking I wasn’t hypnotized. Two minutes later, I had my legs up on a stool and I remember thinking, ‘Yeah, I should probably move my legs, but I can’t really do that right now.’ I don’t know, but it was a fascinating experience.” Other things on her list include singing onstage for a local band, ringing the bell for the Salvation Army, working as a beekeeper and appearing in a talent show. “I still haven’t found anyone to let me [sing onstage]. I don’t know what’s wrong with these people,” Stanfa-

Local woman seeks new experiences with 52/52 Project

Sherry stanfa-stanley is trying one new experience for each of 52 weeks.

Stanley said. “I play a mean tambourine. “There’s plenty to do,” she said. “I think the whole key is to look for things outside your comfort zone. Sure, do things you enjoy doing, but also ask, ‘What’s frightening, embarrassing or physically-challenging?’” Stanfa-Stanley said the act of

breaking out and trying something new does take courage, but is worth it in the end. “I think people will surprise themselves if they try something new,” she said. “You just have to decide if you want to continue what you’re doing or change your life.” O

the guys who taught the network how to be cool in the first place. Even if the show lasts but a month, the amount of information ESPN could gather from the man could be enough to get “SportsCenter’s” head right. ESPN has been lucky: NBC Sports Network and CBS Sports Network have deliberately avoided trying to take on the mothership directly, but Fox Sports 1 is aiming dead center. The network has hired Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole from Canada’s TSN to host its highlight show — two anchors who made their names goofing off on the overnight shift, becoming cult heroes in the process. You know, like Keith and Dan. The bottom line is that ESPN got caught buying into its own hype, and starting considering itself the most important thing in the universe. ESPN set the agenda, it picked which stories mattered and it decided what the nation talked about. And a lot of that is, in fact, true. But after a while, it got so deep into covering the stories behind the stories, the network forgot to tell the original story in the first place. That’s not going to change anytime soon. Heck, “The Big Show” kind of started that trend, to be honest. At least when Keith and Dan started making the show less about the highlights and more about their reaction to the highlights, it was because they were cool, not because they were high on themselves as a media entity. Not that Olbermann is one to preach the importance of humility, but maybe he can at least teach the people ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn. how to do it in a way that doesn’t feel so cold.

CHevelle will play Hollywood Casino Toledo on July 26.

Chevelle to race into casino By Vicki L. Kroll

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer vkroll@toledofreepress.com

The trio Chevelle is constantly fine-tuning its performance engine, adding torque and recalibrating its heavy sound, which has a reputation on the street. “We’re always trying to do something a little different,” said drummer Sam Loeffler. “We’re still a melodic hard rock band; that’s what we like to write and play. But your tastes expand, your sound develops.” Helping harness that horsepower is Joe Barresi, who produced the band’s 2011 disc, “Hats Off to the Bull,” which featured “Face to the Floor,” a track that motored to No. 3 on Billboard’s rock chart. “Joe’s a great guy. He’s done so many great-sounding records that are classics when it comes to modern rock or alternative rock — things like Tool and Queens of the Stone Age and The Melvins’ records,” Loeffler said. “He’s such an experimental guy; he’s always open to try new things, so it was just very natural that we go with him.” During a phone interview from his Chicago home, Loeffler said the group plans to start recording new music in October. Meanwhile, he and his brother, singer and guitarist Pete Loeffler, and their brother-in-law, bass player Dean Bernardini, are writing songs and playing weekend gigs. “We’re working on our seventh record, and it’s hard to be a career rock band, but here we are and we’re really grateful,” Sam said. “And we’re still writing the music that we want to play every night; not everybody can say that.”

Sam and Pete formed the band in 1995; their brother, Joe, later joined and played bass. “We were just playing a couple songs out with our friends and they said you need a name. We grew up around anything with wheels. So kind of as a joke, we went ‘Oh, let’s call ourselves Chevelle, it’ll be funny.’ It’s sort of the king of the muscle cars. And we were just never able to come up with anything better,” Sam said and laughed. “Eventually, the band makes the name, the name doesn’t make the band.” Chevelle revved up and turned heads with its 2002 disc, “Wonder What’s Next,” which debuted at No. 14 on Billboard’s album chart. “The Red,” “Send the Pain Below” and “Closure” were on the CD. “This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In)” came out in 2004; its first single, “Vitamin R (Leading Us Along),” topped the mainstream rock chart. Joe was then replaced by Bernardini, and Chevelle rolled on with 2007’s “Vena Sera” and 2009’s “Sci-Fi Crimes.” “There’s a song called ‘Sleep Apnea’ from ‘Sci-Fi Crimes’ that we love that we play pretty much every show. ‘Roswell’s Spell’ is a fun cut,” Sam said. “We still play ‘The Red’ every show. And ‘The Pain Below,’ people sing along to it.” Chevelle will pull into Hollywood Casino Toledo for an 8 p.m. concert July 26. Tickets are $30. “When you get to a show, you want people to feel like it’s Friday night and leave their problems at home,” Sam said. And yes, the guys do have hot wheels. “We have a ’69 Chevelle,” Sam said. “It’s satin silver. It’s not an everyday car, but it’s a ton of fun.” O
