JANUARY 6, 2013

I

have a close friend who is incredibly difficult to shop for. He isn’t overly inclined to seek material things, lives in relative comfort and can provide for his needs and luxuries as the year rolls along. I see him as a great challenge, and there is a lot of fun in seeking a gift that will surprise him and show some initiative.

In an era of gift card efficiency, I enjoy hunting and gathering.

This year, as I began searching for a special gift, I stumbled across a news release that proclaimed, “‘Golden Girl’ Rue McClanahan’s personal property and show business memorabilia available to fans on www.estateofrue.com website.”

My friend, in addition to being an intelligent, professional and seriousminded man, is a huge fan of the ’80s show “The Golden Girls.” It’s a quirk, but he has every season on DVD and has watched them repeatedly.

I visited the website, and browsed through such sale items as McClanahan’s Emmy, her signed scripts and other neat items, all of which would have soaked up several years’ worth of my holiday budget. But my search was rewarded when I found three Christmas ornaments handmade by McClanahan, complete with not only certificates of authenticity but photos of her with each ornament.

I will probably give them to my friend, tell him I got them at an estate sale and watch him pretend to love them until I give him the full story of each item.

This seems like a unique, trendsetting idea in the world of pop culture, so I contacted Michael J. La Rue to ask him a few questions about the site.

“Rue loved to shop and to collect, and she did both her entire life,” La Rue said. “She had so many closets and storage spaces, I don’t think anyone knew how vast her collections had become. When I found her prom dress from 1949 though, I knew we were in for a big adventure. Despite holding

Golden Girl gold successful auctions in New York City launch party for “NYC Pet Project” and Beverly Hills, we haven’t even put at Planet Hollywood in Times Square when it was released a year later. Then, a dent in Rue’s treasure trove.”

see to it her wishes for everything to be made available to her fans were followed through with.

TFP: What is the oddest item up for bid?

La Rue: There are so many unique items on the site, I think the 1957 birthday card to Rue from her Grandma Fannie with a 1935 $1 silver certificate inside is cool; it is amazing that Rue hung onto it for over 50 years, and particularly amazing considering she was a broke actress for decades and she never spent that buck! Also, Rue loved to craft; she’d heat up the

glue gun and go to town on projects — she called it “flousing things up.”

We put a vintage toaster she’d “floused up” on the site and it is definitely odd.

TFP: Talk about the rare opportunity for fans to own some of these items, such as an Emmy.

La Rue: Rue was the only one of “The Golden Girls” to have a provision built into her contract allowing her to keep her character’s wardrobe. As a result, we have over 200 “Blanche” pieces that are going to be posted on the site. n GOLDEN CONTINUES ON A4

O

n GOLDEN CONTINUED FROM A3 Also, many other one-of-a-kind items like: Rue’s 18carat gold Cartier bracelet, one of which was given to each of “the girls” after the final episode was filmed by the producers of “The Golden Girls”; the actual prop calendar “The Men of Blanche’s Boudoir” from the iconic “’Twas the Nightmare Before Christmas” episode; Rue’s original “Golden Girls” contract; and we even have her Emmy on the site.

Truth be told, we’d never sell the Emmy, so we listed it for $1 million (and if some billionaire did buy it, we’d do a PayPal refund). We posted it because we knew Rue’s fans would want to see it.

TFP: How has fan feedback been? Any criticism?

La Rue: We also administer “The Official Rue McClanahan Memorial Facebook Page” and the fan feedback to estateofrue.com has been 100 percent positive.

Many fans were concerned that they wouldn’t be able to afford anything, so we are doing our best to keep a wide range of price points posted. Remember, all of Rue’s personal property is going to show up on the site too, so even if a fan can’t afford a rare piece like “The Men of Blanche’s Boudoir” calendar, they could hopefully get Rue’s bathrobe or some throw pillows from her living room couch.

People have raised eyebrows over the intimacy of certain items — like her prescription bottles or childhood photos — but we just remind them that this was Rue’s wish.

She didn’t want her things to end up moldering in a box in someone’s basement, or worse, in a Dumpster, which is the normal fate of the vast majority of anyone’s things after they pass.

Personally, I love the idea that these things of Rue’s that we’re shipping off — and we’ve already sent items to 10 different countries and many more states — these items are likely going to be prized possessions of the purchasers, and therefore Rue’s things will be preserved, loved and taken care of for many years to come.

TFP: How long will items be available?

La Rue: Since Rue loved to shop and collect, and she

“

Since her things are going to fans all over the world, we have no doubt they are going to be safely preserved for generations to come.”

— Michael J. La Rue

saved everything, this is a big job. Rue’s son Mark has stated, “My mother gave me a secure and beautiful life, and I intend to see her final wishes carried out no matter how long it takes.”

Looking at the rate of sales and then to the pile of sequined and marabou-feathered treasures, I believe it is going to take us at least another two years to get all of Rue’s things distributed to her fans.

TFP: Was anything given to museums or Smithsoniantype places?

La Rue: There is a gentleman who is curating a collection of television memorabilia with the intention of creating a museum, and he has been acquiring pieces for years and safely storing them so they aren’t lost forever.

The producers of “The Golden Girls” gave him a few of Blanche’s famous outfits directly — one was the red sequined number from the scene when Blanche sang “I Wanna be Loved by You” on top of the piano at the “Rusty Anchor” — and he was the highest bidder on a few other outfits at Rue’s Beverly Hills auction.

But, again, since her things are going to fans all over the world, we have no doubt they are going to be safely preserved for generations to come. O Michael S. Miller is editor in chief of Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star. Email him at mmiller@toledofree press.com.

WELLNESS

By Brandi Barhite

Toledo Free Press Community Ombudsman bbarhite@toledofreepress.com

Ken Dumminger described being on the National Transplant Waiting List as “absolute sheer panic.”

His daughter asked if he was going to die.

He fought the misconception that his renal failure was linked to alcoholism.

He worried about how he was going to pay for the liver transplant — if he was lucky enough to get one.

And then the phone rang.

It was local radio personality Harvey Steele.

“I got a call one day from Harvey and he said, ‘A little birdie told me you are on the transplant list,’” Dumminger said.

“I personally think he got my name from the transplant center in the Cleveland Clinic,” Dumminger said.

“He will deny it or won’t say anything about it, but that is how he works.

Harvey is a little bit of an evasive individual; he doesn’t tell you everything he knows.”

But Dumminger didn’t care. The Fremont resident welcomed the conversation with Steele, who has thrived since his 1997 liver transplant.

“I had no idea what they were going to do and what was going to happen and that is when Harvey stepped up to the plate and said, ‘Ken, don’t worry about this. I have been through this. While it is a little bit terrifying, you will make it.’ He gave me the total concept that everything will be OK.” And everything was OK. Dumminger had his transplant in January 2002, which his insurance helped cover (not everyone is as lucky), and Steele never lost touch.

“It wasn’t like he just contacted me once; he contacted me on a regular basis,” said Dumminger, now 65. “Basically, he set it up so he was my mentor.”

Even as Steele celebrates the 15th anniversary of his transplant, he continues to mentor those who are on the National Transplant Waiting List. He promotes organ donation — the gift of life — just as passionately.

“I still talk to people who are in my situation,” Steele said. “I say, ‘The surgery is the least of your issues. You have to deal with the fact that in order for you to live, someone else has to die.’ Not only that, but the family has to donate their organs; they have to be nice enough to do that.”

Steele remembers his mental state at the Cleveland Clinic.

Local radio personality celebrates 15 years with new liver

n

HARVEY STEELE, WHO IS CELEBRATING HIS 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF A LIVER TRANSPLANT, NOW PROMOTES ORGAN DONATION.

“You are in a place you thought you would never be. I would go to the end of the hall and there would be guys looking out the window, looking for helicopters to come to the Cleveland Clinic — maybe they had something for them.

“They would watch the news to see if there were automobile accidents,” Steele said. “It wasn’t that you wanted something bad to happen to someone else; you just had no control.”

It was 1985, and Steele was just 28 years old. His second daughter, Allison, had just been born.

Like many new fathers, he wasn’t sleeping much.

“I had that permanent headache because I felt the need to be up half the time even though I couldn’t breastfeed. It was sort of that dull headache; I was popping a couple of aspirin every four hours and it gave me a bleeding ulcer.”

The bleeding ulcer took him to the hospital where he received eight units of blood — at least one contained what later became known as Hepatitis C. It was just six months before screening began for the virus.

The next time he donated blood, he got a letter. He made an appointment with his doctor.

“I was told, ‘You will have elevated liver enzymes, but that is about it,” Steele said.

In August 1997, his belly began to fill with abdominal fluid as his energy diminished. After going to his primary doctor and being misdiagnosed, it became clear his 40-year-old liver was in trouble.

“I was operating under the assumption that I didn’t have anything to worry about with the liver, but when I noticed my yellow tinge, I knew that would be jaundice and it is directly related to the liver one way or the other.”

Steele was diagnosed with endstate liver disease. After three days of tests, it was determined he was sick enough to need a transplant, but healthy enough to survive the surgery.

At that time, there were 60,000 people on the National Transplant Waiting List — waiting for organs like livers, hearts, lungs and kidneys.

That number has grown to more than 116,000 today.

“It was good news, and bad news,” Steele said. “The good news: I made it on the National Transplant Waiting List; the bad news: I am on the National Transplant Waiting List.”

Steele continued to work his half

of “Shores & Steele” (then an afternoon show on K100) as he waited the estimated 18 months before a liver would be available.

“I [would] come in during the morning, take a nap and then come back and work those three hours and then pretty much collapse,” Steele said.

“I am thinking, ‘How am I supposed to do this for a year and half?’”

Meanwhile, he kept getting blood tests until his beeper went off in early September.

It was the transplant office at the Cleveland Clinic. The blood test results indicated he had become too sick to wait at home.

He had to wait at the clinic, even though the doctors had nothing for him.

He had to decide what to tell his listeners.

“We have always been in the community and always doing things,” Steele said. “It became rather obvious when Gary is on and I haven’t been on.”

Gary Shores remembers the time well. He saw Steele’s plight as a chance to rally listeners behind his radio partner, while simultaneously informing people about the desperate need for more donors.

“I have an intercom at my dis-

posal and I need to play more than hits,” Shores said. “We had Harvey on the radio and he revealed that he was going to have a liver transplant.”

The listeners reacted. Life Connection, a nonprofit designated by the federal government as the Organ Procurement Organization for Northwest and West Central Ohio, received dozens of calls a day asking about Steele and how to become a donor.

“Say a Prayer for Harvey” signs were hung throughout town.

People sent thousands of cards, all of which Steele read and still has to this day.

“The people in this community are simply amazing,” Shores said.

No one entertained the idea that his co-host might not make it.

“Everyone kept a positive thought,” Shores said. “We didn’t allow that thought. It would have been unacceptable.”

These days Steele jokes about how close he came to death.

“All the TV stations covered it,” Steele said. “I looked like hell. The people in Cleveland would say, ‘Are you sure you want to do this?’ All the TV stations were competing for the last footage of me.” n LIVE CONTINUES ON A7

community

Steele continued to give interviews as he lived at the clinic. Halloween came and went. He actually started to resemble a pumpkin, he said.

“All they could do was manage my symptoms; there was no way to improve symptoms. When your liver doesn’t work, everything goes wrong.

I had good days and bad days, which was more like good hours and bad hours.”

The hallucinations set in. His wife, Mary Beth, and two girls would visit on the weekends. He would have conversations with them, but wouldn’t remember any of it.

Then on Nov. 2, 1997, he was awakened by some nurses.

They had a match.

Hours later, he learned the new liver was in him, but it wasn’t functioning like it should. It wasn’t a rejection; it just wasn’t starting up like the doctors had hoped.

All hazy, he heard the surgeon say, ‘We are going to look for another liver.”

Steele thought the drugs were talking.

“I don’t ever have to play the lottery because I have won it twice,” he said. “Later that day, they found another liver. The odds of which are astronomical.”

He received his second — and current — liver Nov. 5.

Today, Steele’s daughter, Kara, has made it her life’s work to recruit donors.

Kara was just a teenager when Life Connection was receiving hundreds of calls about her father, she said. She is now director of community relations for Life Connection of Ohio.

“From a young age, going through that experience, I realized that in some way I wanted to find a way to give back for the gift that my dad received,” she said.

But there was a time when she didn’t know if she would get to see her dad live, let alone work with him on this cause.

“I blocked out a lot of that time.

I don’t remember it. What I do remember is being really, really scared. I thought, ‘Is my dad going to live at the Cleveland Clinic or is my dad not going to live?’”

Thankfully, he lived because of the generosity of an organ donor, she said.

Misconceptions about organ donation are common. Some people are afraid if their license indicates they are a donor, the hospital staff won’t work as hard to save them.

Not true.

“That is why Life Connections exists separately,” Kara said. “Hospital staff is there to save lives. If that is not a possibility and that person passes then organ donation is an option.”

People also worry about open-casket funerals. They shouldn’t. If an open casket is possible before organ donation, it is possible afterward.

Additionally, organ donors can change their minds after registering through the Department of Motor Vehicles or www.DonateLifeOhio. org, Kara said. Potential donors could even just express their donation wishes to their families.

Her dad said donor families are heroes. He has exchanged letters with his donor family and learned his liver came from a 60-year-old high school electronics teacher who died of a brain aneurysm. He left behind a wife and three grown sons. This is humbling when Steele thinks of the 15th anniversary of his liver transplant.

“There is no cake or celebration.

You feel very lucky to be alive. Any anniversary is also when someone out there lost a loved one,” Steele said.

“It would be entirely inappropriate to shoot off a firework and go ‘woo hoo.’ I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for those people who, in the worst possible time in their life, thought of someone else.” O

Toledo exercise venues offer variety

By Brigitta Burks

Toledo Free Press News Editor bburks@toledofreepress.com

Paulette’s Studio of Dance looks more like a stylish salon than a standard workout venue. Moreover, poles run from the ceiling to the floor and strips of silk flutter down from the beams.

At her studio, 4853 Monroe St., Paulette offers pole dance fitness and aerial fitness, a yoga-based workout in which students use silks to suspend themselves in the air (all while in graceful positions). Paulette’s studio is one of several Toledo workout venues offering unique exercise options in the season of New Year’s resolutions.

Paulette’s

Rita Yunker of Whitehouse started pole fitness at Paulette’s about a year and a half ago when she was looking for a unique dance class.

“I needed something for me because I’m a mom and a wife. I needed something to do for myself and hopefully get my happy hormones going,” Yunker said with a laugh.

“It perks me up if I’m having a bad day. … I’m much more confident now than I was. The social aspect in wonderful. All the [fellow students] are really friendly,” she added.

That social aspect is important to many of her students, said Paulette, who has offered pole fitness since 2006.

“They like the camaraderie of the class. … The support is what they’re telling me they love. It’s a workout in disguise. So you’re having fun; you’re dancing; you’re doing cardio/strength training, but it’s not the monotony and the repetition,” she said.

“That comes as a surprise to people. They come here to get fit and the benefit is they find themselves walking taller, feeling more confident as they go about their day,” she said.

“Everything gets a little sparkle to it.”

The family-friendly studio also offers ballroom dancing, belly dancing, hip-hop/lyrical dance for kids and yoga, among other classes.

Paulette, who was a dancer in Las Vegas, started teaching ballroom dancing and “that led to pole fitness, which led to the aerial fitness.”

“Pole fitness became big quite a few years ago and out of my own interest for it, I was intrigued,” she said.

“I tried it for myself and I fell in love with it, like all the students do,” Paulette added. “I learned of aerial fitness and I love trying new things so I saw it and heard of all those benefits and thought it would be a nice addition and nice complement to the pole fitness classes.”

The dancer said she does see a spike in class attendance around the New Year. Paulette said that many of the resolution-season students do stick with it.

She advised, “Nothing comes overnight. You have to work hard and I think that’s why having a group around you, working out with you, keeps you coming back.” n EXERCISE CONTINUES ON A8

Studio Fitness

Studio Fitness, aka Pole-Licious Fitness, 1413 Bernath Parkway, offers pole fitness in addition to Zumba, chair dancing and belly dancing. There is also a pole fitness class designed for fuller-figured women.

Karen Everage, co-owner of Studio Fitness, said she gravitated toward pole fitness because she was bored with the standard gym workout. “[I] just decided this was a fitness I could stick with because it was a little sassy, but it also built core strength and upper-body strength so it gave me what I was looking for at the time and it didn’t feel like I was working out.

It was more like I was having a good time,” she said.

She emphasized that the pole classes are a fitness regimen above all. “[Pole dancing] does have a negative stigma to it, but I try not to use sexy; I use sassy. And I always say this is a pole fitness class … the dance part is a plus. The emphasis is on fitness,” Everage said, adding some of her students are older than 60.

Studio Fitness does get an influx of new students come January, Everage said.

“The people who come in January, they may last to February and then they fall off. And then you might see

them again next year,” she said with a laugh. “I think they’re a little less dedicated, although they all have good intentions.”

Everage said that making a resolution to work out is something that needs to be thought out.

“Being in shape is a mindset. You can’t wake up one morning and say, ‘I’m going to start a fitness program.’

You have to train your mind to accept that for some time and get it in your head, that this is something that is going to stick,” she said.

“Just like the time you put into purchasing a home or changing jobs, you have to put that energy into, ‘I’m gonna get fit; I’m gonna get healthy.’”

CrossFit LifeSport

Todd Ovall, owner of CrossFit LifeSport, 1121 Water St., said he is wary of taking on new clients during the beginning of the year.

“If someone comes in January or February, I’m very dubious of their drive. I’m not going to turn them

away, but I really grill them a little bit more about where they are in life, how serious they are about it,” he said.

In 2000, Greg Glassman founded CrossFit in California.

“It’s constantly varied functional movements done at high intensity,” Ovall said, adding that intensity varies depending on where students are psychologically and physically.

Patrons of CrossFit can expect a different workout, outlined by their trainer, whenever they enter the “box,” or gym.

“It could be anything. It really changes up a lot. One day we’ll do bear crawls and another day, we’ll do sort of like sit-ups and push-ups, body weight stuff, and then one day it could be all Olympic lifting or power lifting,” Ovall said. “[CrossFit] came up through military, police and fire personnel because the nature of their job is they don’t know what the next day is going to hold for them.”

The program has three categories: metabolic conditioning, which could include activities like running, rowing or jumping rope, weight lifting and gymnastics, which includes exercises like pushups that utilize body weight.

CrossFit students can also expect health and wellness education

in addition to their workout.

“All the movements are biomechanically efficient so we teach people how to move better. It’s very educational first and foremost. We teach people about movement. We teach people about food. We teach people about sleep and then just try to push them down the road, get some concepts clear in their head,” Ovall said.

The owner said the gym might

move soon from its current location because more space is needed.

When Ovall started his gym four years ago, his was the 984th. Now there are about 4,500 worldwide. “[CrossFit’s] on ESPN now and I see in on Reebok commercials,” Ovall said.

FOOD

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be an unpleasant experience, say organizers of Restaurant Week Toledo.

Among the healthy dishes planned by local chefs for this year’s event are a sesame-seared Chilean sea bass at Rosie’s Italian Grille, a slow-roasted pork chop stuffed with spiced apples at Bar 145 and a chicken shish tawook sandwich at Poco Piatti.

The third annual Restaurant Week Toledo, set for Feb. 21 to March 2, will feature at least one healthy option at each of the 28 participating, locally owned restaurants, said Becca Gorman, co-chair of Restaurant Week Toledo.

Participating restaurants are Bar 145, Barr’s Public House, The Blarney Irish Pub, Bobby V’s American Grill, Burger Bar 419, Caper’s Restaurant, Gradkowski’s, ICE Restaurant and Bar, La Scola Italian Grill, Loma Linda, Mancy’s Bluewater Grille, Mancy’s Italian Grill, Mancy’s Steaks, Manhattan’s, Maumee Wines and Bistro, The Oliver House (Mutz, Maumee Bay Brew Pub, Rockwell’s and The Café), Plate 21, Poco Piatti, Registry Bistro, Rosie’s Italian Grille, Shorty’s True American Roadhouse, Tea Tree Asian Bistro, TREO, Ventura’s and Zinful.

Each venue will feature a special Restaurant Week menu priced at $10, $20 or $30. (Drinks, taxes and gratuities are not included unless specified.)

A portion of the proceeds will benefit local nonprofit Leadership Toledo’s youth programs.

The catalyst for making Restaurant Week Toledo healthier was feedback from diners at last year’s event and the commitment was solidified when Medical Mutual signed on as a presenting sponsor, Gorman said.

“We hope people will feel they can participate fully in Restaurant Week Toledo with no regrets,” Gorman said. “We want them to try multiple restaurants and experience new dishes and new flavors all around town and still feel like they are taking care of themselves.”

A healthy diet helps to prevent or lessen the negative effects of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and obesity, said Connie Beutel, manager of health promotion and wellness at Medical Mutual.

“Almost all restaurants have healthy options and a lot of that is about requests. There’s a movement and a trend, recognizing that it is possible to eat out and eat healthy, so I think you’re seeing that a lot more and

this is a perfect fit,” Beutel said.

Many people are surprised healthy food can taste as good as less healthy dishes, said Mark Tooman, communications manager for Medical Mutual.

“I hope when people see these healthy options are available, they make the connection that they can eat healthy and still get delicious, tasty options at these restaurants,” Tooman said.

Beutel said she also hopes the healthy options will help people learn to navigate menus and recognize keywords signifying healthier dishes.

“There’s a lot of awareness that will come out just seeing things labeled as healthy options,” Beutel said. “How it is prepared and what it is will stick in people’s minds that this is healthier.”

Restaurant Week Toledo to feature healthy options

Rosie’s Italian Grille

Rosie’s Italian Grille in Toledo plans to offer not just one but three Healthy Option meals on its Restaurant Week Toledo menu.

For lunch ($10 including a small side salad), Rosie’s plans to offer grilled herb chicken with fresh sautéed vegetables marinated with homemade Sicilian herb dressing. For dinner ($20 including a small dinner salad), Rosie’s will offer the grilled herb chicken as well as a Cajun herb grilled Mahi Mahi with fresh vegetables or a sesame-seared Chilean sea bass with fresh vegetables finished with ginger sesame drizzle.

Rosie’s owner Phil Barone and chef Eric Kish both called fresh sea bass their favorite fish.

“It’s very moist. You don’t really need to do a lot to it because it’s really flavorful anyway,” Kish said. “It’s very simple and healthy and really tasty.”

The herb marinade is a tweak on an old family recipe.

“It’s very light, not overpowering,” Barone said. “I’ve never found anything better to marinate chicken or fish with. It just gives a little twist, keeps it nice and moist and it’s good for you.”

The Mahi Mahi has a little spice to it, Kish said.

“It’s got that same herb dressing on it, but then we spice it up with some Cajun seasoning as well,” Kish said.

“Grilled — that’s the way you want to do it. It’s a steakier fish.”

The herb chicken dish features two 6-ounce pieces of tender chicken.

“It’s simple and healthy,” Kish said.

“There’s a lot of flavor, but it’s not bad for you.”

Barone and two of his brothers started Rosie’s more than 30 years ago.

The eatery is named after their mother

and uses recipes she brought with her from her hometown in Sicily. This year will be the third time Rosie’s has participated in Restaurant Week Toledo.

“It’s grown,” Barone said. “The first year was kind of quiet. Last year, we were very busy and it was fun. I love it when things are hectic.

The people I met were very friendly and very complimentary. They really enjoyed Rosie’s, some of them for the first time, which is good for us. It’s why we like to do specials like that, to bring in new people who may not have tried Rosie’s.”

Kish said he was happy to comply with the focus on healthy options.

“It’s what people want, especially now more than ever,” Kish said. “I just think that’s what it’s evolving to more and more. It’s just going to make it that much more popular.”

Bar 145

Chef Robby Lucas of Bar 145 said he enjoyed the challenge of coming up with healthy options.

“No chef likes to be handcuffed and

be told, ‘This is what we’re doing,’” Lucas said, laughing. “But every chef likes a challenge so I think if we can get the Bar 145 identity across while staying within those guidelines then we’re better off for it. I definitely got excited for it.”

Lucas came up with an herbroasted chicken breast with an apple and strawberry winter salad for lunch ($10) and, for dinner ($20), a slowroasted bone-in pork chop stuffed with spiced apples and served with an arugula salad and a gelato dessert.

“We use an all-natural chicken — hormone-free, antibiotic-free. You can really taste that when you’re eating the meat itself.

“It doesn’t taste processed. It tastes like chicken,” Lucas said, laughing.

“As often as people say that, I don’t think people realize what chicken is supposed to taste like.

“With the pork, we actually stuff the pork with the apples and as that cooks together it really infuses the flavor throughout the meat itself.”

Lucas said he’s used to being creative with healthy food because

his girlfriend is a vegetarian.

“I assume it gets a little boring being a vegetarian, so I’m always thinking [of new ways to prepare food],” Lucas said and laughed again. “I absolutely love cooking proteins, but vegetables are kind of the unsung heroes in a chef ’s world. There’s nothing a chef gets more excited about, especially our vegetables we buy from The Chef ’s Garden in Huron. When I open up this crate of Ohio-grown carrots, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and stuff like that, it really gets chefs excited.”

This will be Bar 145’s second year participating in Restaurant Week Toledo. The eatery opened in 2011.

“We had a great response last year,” said Lucas, who worked in Cleveland before moving to Toledo.

“Restaurant Week in Cleveland is huge, so when they approached us and said they were doing one in Toledo we absolutely wanted to be part of it and we definitely wanted to do it again this year.” n HEALTHY CONTINUES ON A11

Bar 145 is known for its burgers, especially its stack-your-own option, but Lucas would love if Restaurant Week Toledo helps spread the word about the rest of Bar 145’s menu, which changes seasonally and offers unexpected twists, such as duck wings in place of chicken wings.

“A lot of times people see bar in our name and they associate us with just bar food. Then they hear the burger in our tagline and think we just do burgers and we are so much more than that,” Lucas said.

“Our burgers are great — I stand behind them 100 percent and they are amazing — but our menu encompasses so much more.”

How food is prepared goes a long way toward making it healthy, said Lucas, who started cooking when he was 9 at the Put-in-Bay restaurant his father managed.

“I’m not going to say we’re healthfood oriented here, but we serve homemade food from scratch. We don’t have a freezer here. Everything you eat that day is prepared that day,” Lucas said. “Rather than shortening

or fat alternatives, we try to use a lot of healthy oils and canola oils that lend themselves well to the flavors we’re trying to accomplish.”

Jake Guthrie, director of operations for Bar 145, recently moved to Toledo from Columbus and said Restaurant Week Toledo brings some of his former city’s “foodie” culture to the Glass City.

“I’m excited. Hopefully it gives people an opportunity to step outside their comfort zone and do something or try something they may not necessarily be prone to do,” Guthrie said.

“It’s also one of those things that promote the culinary world in general, where people are excited to go out and dine. And what’s good for one is good for all.”

Poco Piatti

Poco Piatti, featuring Lebanese, Italian and Greek food, is already known for healthy dishes, said Elias Hajjar, owner of the Levis Commons eatery.

The name means “small plates” in Italian and refers to the communal tradition of sharing dishes around the table with everyone trying a little bit of each one.

“Mediterranean food in general is very healthy. We tend to use a lot more olive oil than butter, lots of vegetables, lots of lean meat,” Hajjar said. “We’ve always focused on being healthy and prided ourselves on offering our guests healthy options.”

For lunch ($10), Poco Piatti will offer a choice of chicken shish tawook sandwich, falafel sandwich or poco burger served with a choice of hummus, feta dip or lebanee.

For dinner ($20), diners can choose from two skewers of beef or chicken kabobs or salmon with a side dish. Dinner also includes a choice of chicken wrap, ara-yes or sauteed mushrooms and a dessert.

This is Poco Piatti’s third year participating in Restaurant Week Toledo, and each year has gotten better, Hajjar said.

“We have always believed very strongly in community and eating locally,” he said. “When the opportunity came up to join together with other locally owned restaurants and help charity and promote our businesses at the same time, it was the perfect combination of win-win for us.

“The first year was good, but we were just getting the word out. The second year was much better for all the restaurants.”

Hajjar expects this year to the best yet.

“We’re excited to be a part of it.

I really think it’s going to be great.”

n FORMER WALLEYE LUKE Glendening during his AHL DEBUT in Grand Rapids on Dec. 19.

Tenacity pays off for former Walleye rookie

By Vincent D. Scebbi TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

Luke Glendening’s road to pro hockey has been anything but certain.

“I always wanted to do it. It’s every hockey player’s dream to play professional hockey. I didn’t know if it was ever going to become a reality,” said Glendening, who until recently played for the Toledo Walleye.

The defensive forward took the next step after being called up to the Grand Rapids Griffins, the American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate of the Detroit Red Wings, on Dec. 17.

“I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity and I’m just trying to go make the best of it,” Glendening said. “I’m not sure how long I’m going to be here, but I’m just trying to find any way I can to stay.”

Glendening said his time with the Walleye allowed him to build his confidence and adjust to pro hockey.

“At the end of the day, it’s all about how you play, if you play hard and you’re playing fast, and I think Toledo allowed me to gain confidence to do that,” he said.

The confidence boost helped Glendening when he made his debut with Grand Rapids on Dec. 19, scoring his first AHL goal on his first shot.

Just two minutes and 49 seconds into the opening period, Griffins forward Triston Grant shot the puck in front of the net and Glendening charged the net and sent the rebound past the netminder.

Glendening got off to a hot start in his rookie season. In 27 games with the Walleye, he scored 14 goals, ranking him second among ECHL rookies as of Jan. 3. He scored 31 goals in 165 games during his college days at the University of Michigan.

Glendening’s success at finding the net has been somewhat surprising to him and others.

“His role has been a real strong defensive player at Michigan, and not that he couldn’t score, but his strengths were his work ethic, his physicality, his defensive responsibility and his leadership skills,” said Red Berenson, who coached Glendening from 2008-12 at UM. Berenson said Glendening’s knowledge allowed him to shine as a defensive forward, especially on the

penalty kill, where he excelled at shot blocking.

“He was sort of the conscience of the line. He gave the line some physicality and he gave them some defensive responsibility. You want a player like that on every line,” Berenson said. “But we used him in more of a defensive role and he was the defensive player of the year in our whole conference.”

Glendening said during his freshman year at Michigan, he skated in only 35 games, the fewest of any of his four seasons as a Wolverine.

Berenson said he was not sure if Glendening would be a regular player. Glendening said this caused doubts about his future, but he worked hard and earned a regular spot his sophomore year.

“He convinced us with the way he played and the way he practiced that he was going to work his way into the lineup,” Berenson said.

During his four years at UM, Glendening was a two-time captain of the Wolverine squad and helped lead the school to a national championship appearance during the 2010-11 season.

Glendening said he still was unsure about his future even after he graduated this year with a degree in political science. He was undrafted, but signed to a one-year contract with Grand Rapids on June 19.

“I just kept working hard and I still didn’t know if it was going to work,” he said. “But it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”

He made his pro debut in April when he signed an amateur tryout contract with the Providence Bruins. Although he only played three games with the Bruins, Glendening said he learned a lot about himself and got a small taste of pro hockey.

Glendening, a native of Grand Rapids, Mich., said playing in front of his hometown was special.

“Every corner I looked into of the rink, it seemed like I saw someone that I knew, which made the moment a little extra special because there has been so many people from Grand Rapids that have stood beside me,” he said.

Glendening said his parents told him he didn’t have to be the best player on the ice — just the hardest worker.

“That’s something I’ve carried with me throughout life,” he said. “There’s always going to be people that are better than you at anything. ... If you can outwork them, see what happens.” O

RELIGION

Editor’s Note: David Yonke is a member of Calvary Church.

By David Yonke EDITOR, TOLEDOFAVS.COM David.Yonke@ReligionNews.com

Calvary Church will celebrate its move to the former Rave Motion Pictures Maumee 18 theaters with three grand opening services Jan. 6.

The distance between the old Calvary on Glendale Avenue and the new one on Conant Street measures just 2.3 miles, but the change in scene is as dramatic as some of the Hollywood cliffhangers that used to fill the screens at the ex-cineplex.

“As a church we weren’t looking to make a geographic move. It wasn’t something we had put on our master plan,” said the Rev. Chad Gilligan, lead pastor. “But we felt when the building became available, there was a leading from God for us to look into the purchase of it. We took one step after another and felt the Lord kept opening the doors for us, so we kept walking through them. We felt we were being obedient to God’s will.”

The old Calvary, on Glendale just east of Reynolds Road, had its worship services in a traditional 1,100-seat sanctuary with padded pews and a large stained-glass window behind the altar.

The new Calvary, whose 18 the-

aters and expansive atrium cover 93,000 square feet, is having worship services in a 525-seat converted movie theater. The building sits on a 33.5acre site on Conant Street across from Urban Active fitness center.

The new facility features a café that provides free coffee plus the sale of snacks, soft drinks and such specialty drinks as mochas and lattes.

Café proceeds go toward Calvary’s local, national and international missions projects.

Gilligan said the new location gives Calvary added visibility and the building’s history makes it appealing to many people in the Toledo area.

“We hear over and over from people who have had memories in this building. They went on their first date here, or saw their favorite movie here. The curiosity and the appeal of this building go beyond the norm,” he said.

The former movie theater was built in 1997 (“Titanic” played during opening week) and it was one of four local cineplexes bought

by Dallas-based Rave Motion Pictures in January 2010.

Rave closed the Maumee 18 theater in June, 2010, citing a surplus of screens in the Toledo area, and Calvary purchased it for $2.98 million in December 2010.

The church, which has an average Sunday attendance of more

than 1,000, spent $1.5 million renovating and remodeling the building.

Improvements included a new look to the atrium with new carpeting and a central fireplace, a renovated café and seating areas scattered throughout the building.

Theater seats were removed from the floor of the largest theater to make room for a stage, and a Chicago firm designed and installed high-tech sound, video and lighting for the main sanctuary.

An adjacent theater carries live video and audio feeds for use as an overflow room.

One priority in remodeling was Calvary’s children’s and youth ministry areas, Gilligan said.

The renovations were scaled back, due to the expense, from original plans that called for knocking down walls between two theaters to create one large sanctuary. That project is set for an unscheduled phase two.

“We’ve been able to touch quite a bit of the building with just basic things that needed to be done, primarily electrical, lighting and technology,” Gilligan said. “We feel really good about the first phase because it gets us in the building and allows us to use and figure out how this church can best serve the church and the community.”

The Assemblies of God, one of the largest Pentecostal denominations, was founded in 1914 and has 3 million members in the United States and 65 million worldwide.

“In our culture, labels for churches don’t mean as much as they used to,” Gilligan said. “What we’ve found is that no matter what your church brand is, it can have a tendency to tell people not what you are, but what they aren’t. … We decided to make the brand less of a big deal so we’ll be able to have

Native Toledoan chronicles the American West in new book

By Jay Hathaway

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

For many writers, the journey toward a finished novel is often long, laborious and unpredictable. Toledo native Len Francis Monahan’s path was no different, and it eventually led him into the American West.

Monahan will release his novel, “Rattlesnakes, Ghosts and Murderers,” on Feb. 14, through Greta Fox Publishing. It is the first installment in a series of Western comedies.

Monahan, 64, now resides in the Western U.S., but he has fond memories of his Toledo roots. He attended St. James Grade School and Libbey High School, where he was often chastised for his wandering mind.

“Daydreaming is a perfect state for a writer, it would seem,” Monahan said.

Monahan recalled renting canoes and braving the waters of the Maumee River as one of his favorite memories of youth. He also remembered being at odds with his father’s occupation.

“As I was growing up, my father worked for the City of Toledo as a ‘garbage man.’ His occupation caused me some embarrassment — such is the idiocy of youth,” Monahan said.

He eventually came to realize that his father’s intellect reached far beyond the confines of his trash removal job, and now credits him with being a vital inspiration.

“I am proud to proclaim my father as one of the most intelligent persons I have ever known. He was, in fact, himself a writer, and inspired me toward that profession,” Monahan said.

Long before realizing his own po-

tential as a scribe, Monahan pursued his education at the University of Toledo, where he earned dual bachelor’s degrees in psychology and p h i l o s o p h y.

From there, he set out on a trail to discover his calling.

“While in Toledo, I worked as a Merchant Marine, a spray painter for Kaiser Jeep, a psychiatric tech, a full-time musician and some other jobs I have tried to forget,” Monahan said.

In 1978, he married Elaine Welling.

Monahan called his marriage “the most fortuitous event” of his life.

Throughout the 1980s, Monahan began discovering his worth as a musician, as well.

“During that period, I wrote songs with an obsession and made my first professional recordings, ‘Being Alone for Christmas’ and ‘Christmas Lullaby.’ These songs played all over the United States, England, Australia and some other countries,” Monahan said.

Though he was encouraged by the success, he was still hesitant to attempt a career in music.

“I continued to do a bit more recording, but stopped completely until 1988 when I released ‘Another Road.’

That song jumped to No. 48 on the national independent charts, and I

decided to release ‘Tapping at Your Window,’ which popped onto the Top 100 Country Charts in Cashbox magazine and achieved No. 27 on the independent charts,” Monahan said.

In 1989, he and Elaine decided to move westward, and settled into California’s Bay Area. Monahan struggled to find other musicians there who were serious about recording.

“In terms of my music career, I guess I was much better off in Toledo,” Monahan said.

Despite the disappointment, Monahan found a great deal of work in writing. He worked for a major publisher and wrote and edited articles for an estimated 5,000 national and international publications. He covered business, industry, medicine, education, law, economics, international news, U.S. military reviews and even CIA reports.

“It was a constant education,” Monahan said.

Twelve years ago, Monahan and his wife moved to the Sierra Nevada, not far from Yosemite National Park. This is where Monahan found the inspiration for his current literary endeavor.

“

Daydreaming is a perfect state for a writer, it would seem.”

— Len Francis Monahan “One evening, as I sat on a friend’s 2,000-acre ranch and watched lights belonging to the Mexican drug cartel vehicles moving up and down the mountain roads, the phrase ‘Rattlesnakes, Ghosts and Murderers’ sprang to mind,” Monahan said.

“At that moment, I realized what a marvelous title it was. This is how [the series] came into being.”

The first book of the series, subtitled “McKenna and Barnett,” begins with an excerpt from a ranch hand’s diary, which tells of the events that lead to the crux of the story. The plot focuses around young protagonist Colt Barnett and his adventures as the leader of a ranch he inherited.

Kathy Lynn, who represents Greta Fox Publishing, said that the book is not designed for any specific audience, but would most likely be enjoyed by readers in the young adult group and older. She said that the novel should appeal to women, as well, since it has a strong female

figure as a central character.

“It would also help if the reader has a well-developed sense of humor,” Lynn added.

As for the future, Monahan said that the second book of the series should be released in a year or so.

The third and fourth books will be completed thereafter. He also plans on traveling to Alaska to research future material. more immediate Regarding plans, Greta Fox Publishing will distribute the novel through Amazon and Barnes & Noble; it will be available for e-readers and in paperback.

Greta Fox also plans to knock on Hollywood’s door.

“Presently, we are trying to develop a movie deal for the ‘Rattlesnakes, Ghosts and Murderers’ series and have some film companies looking at it,” Lynn said.

Beyond the series, Monahan said he will continue to write, not necessarily for literary glory, but because it keeps him distracted from life’s deliberations.

“I don’t claim to have talked to the spirits or breathed words into incandescent clouds. I know I will live, move on and eventually be forgotten like everyone else.

No amount of writing, working, spending or owning can ever change that. So, in the meantime, I just keep myself preoccupied.” O

NASA announced Dec. 21 that it selected Sierra Lobo Inc. of Fremont for a contract to perform engineering fabrication services at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

The cost-plus-award-fee contract has a potential value of $98.15 million if NASA exercises an option that would extend the length of the contract by two years. The three-year base period of the contract begins Feb. 1, according to NASA’s announcement.

“This is the second largest contract in terms of revenue in our history,” said Donald Frank, executive director of business development for Sierra Lobo.

The firm’s fabrication services for NASA will range from providing rapid turnaround of simple parts and modifications to the development of new products, prototypes and actual hardware for spaceflight. The hardware produced could range in size and complexity from small hand tools for astronauts to entire crew systems, according to NASA. Frank said some of their people were set to fly out to Houston on Jan. 1 to get started on the preliminary stage of the project. He said they ex-

pect the project to require 120 people.

That number will include existing employees who will go to Houston and new employees hired there and possibly in Ohio.

“It’s likely we will hire some incumbent employees from other companies located there and fill other open positions with qualified people,” Frank said.

The company currently has 500 employees and Frank expects that number to grow to about 565 at the beginning of this project for NASA. “It’s been a very good year for the company,” Frank said.

Sierra Lobo has performed previous work for NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland and the Plum Brook Station in Sandusky.

The company is a two-time winner of the George M. Low Award in the Small Business Service category. It was also named Small Business Prime Contractor of the Year by the Glenn Research Center in 2009 and 2011.

Frank said that the Low Award is the highest award given to contrac-

tors by NASA and very few contractors have won it twice. The award is named for a NASA leader who was dedicated to quality and excellence.

Sierra Lobo announced additional work contracts for NASA and the U.S. Navy in September.

NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center selected the company’s Cryo-Tracker Mass Gauging System for its Space Launch System (SLS) Advance Development Program. The Cryo-Tracker system supports the SLS vehicle and re-

duces costs by enhancing propellant monitoring capabilities.

The reliability of the Cryo-Tracker sensor significantly exceeds that of current Saturn and Shuttle-era hotwire technology and has none of the shortcomings of capacitance-based probes that suffer high uncertainties due to pressure, temperature and stray electromagnetic interference, according to the company.

Sierra Lobo received a $3.9 million contract award from the U.S. Navy to develop, fabricate and test a fuel cell and cryogenic reactants energy system for the Office of Naval Research’s Large Displacement Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Innovative Naval Prototype (LDUUV INP) energy and power.

The development contract for

the Navy, currently being executed at the company’s Technology and Engineering Center in Milan, Ohio, is in its initial 18-month Phase I base period. With its successful completion, the company will proceed with a six-month Phase I option program and a 24month Phase II program to provide a fully integrated power system in a prototype LDUUV for testing.

Sierra Lobo is a HispanicAmerican owned small business that was founded in 1993 with only nine employees.

Today, Sierra Lobo employs engineers, technicians and administrative personnel in multiple locations.

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Harbor CEO Dale Shreve is leaving the Toledo-based agency this month to take the helm of a national alliance of behavioral health care agencies.

Shreve, who has been with Harbor for 33 years, including 13 years as its CEO, will move to Tallahassee, Fla., for a job as president and CEO of Mental Health Corporations of America (MHCA), an association of about 130 behavioral and mental health care providers, including Harbor.

Shreve’s last day at Harbor is Jan. 22. John Betts, Harbor’s vice president of adult services, will serve as interim CEO while a national search for a replacement is conducted.

“This comes at a great time for me both personally and professionally,” Shreve BETTS said. “[Harbor is] a great organization in great shape and will continue to be successful. It’s just when this dream job and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes along, you’ve got to pull the ring and go for it.”

Shreve said he will miss Harbor, but is excited for the new challenge.

“Harbor is my baby,” Shreve said.

“I’ve watched it grow and I’ve been a part of that. I’m going to miss the Toledo community. I’m going to miss the Harbor staff and board. It’s a great group of people and one that has meant a lot to me and my family.

“While [MHCA] continues to be related to health care and behavioral health care, it’s a different aspect of that. I won’t be responsible for dayto-day service activities, but I’ll be responsible to help those organizations do those services as best they can.”

MHCA hosts meetings for professional development and networking.

“By meeting with organizations from different parts of the country that are addressing similar concerns but don’t see themselves as competitors, it allows members to pull together the resources they need to be

successful at home,” Shreve said.

The 58-year-old Shreve, a Palmyra, Mich., native, started working at Harbor in 1979 as its assistant director.

It was called Community Mental Health Center West then and had about 20 employees and a budget of less than $500,000, Shreve said. Today, Harbor has more than 400 employees in 12 Northwest Ohio locations and a budget of $25 million.

“It was a much different organization when I joined,” Shreve said. “It’s had different names and different roles, but I’ve been here that whole time.”

In 1985, Community Mental Health Center West became the West Center. Then West Center, which served primarily adults, consolidated with the Cummings-Zucker Center, which served primarily children and families, to form Harbor Behavioral Health Care. In 2009, the organization became simply Harbor.

The organization has grown beyond behavioral health to include family medicine, adult day care services for individuals with developmental disabilities, vocational programs for individuals with barriers to employment, programs for children with autism and their families, employee assistance and wellness programs, school partnerships and more.

“As we have grown, we’re serving more people and providing a broader range of services and doing a better job integrating those services and trying to address the complete needs of that individual,” Shreve said.

Harbor is one of five “Medicaid health homes” in Ohio.

“It’s not a physical home, but the concept of wraparound care, making sure you have a ‘home’ where things get centralized,” Shreve said. “So often people with mental health problems don’t get the other care they need, so this health home effort is how we’re trying to pull this together. It’s an integrated care approach I believe is so critical in terms of making sure we don’t just talk about someone’s depression or schizophrenia, but tie it into everything else going on with that person.”

Betts, a Bryan native, has worked in the social service field for 39 years, 10 of those in his current position at Harbor.

Shreve and Betts met when they

both worked at Harbor when it was known as West Center in the mid1980s. Betts went on to work at several other social service organizations, including The Zepf Center, Quadco Rehabilitation Center, Lima State Hospital and Lima Juvenile Detention Facility, before returning to Harbor.

“Dale is a good guy, a very good guy,” Betts said. “He’s made Harbor what it is, which in my opinion is the No. 1 behavioral health facility in the surrounding area and, quite frankly, in Ohio. It’s because of his leadership and his vision and his innovation that Harbor is where it’s at.

“He’s definitely going to have a major positive impact on a larger scale at Mental Health Corporations of America by providing his talents to all the different providers throughout the country. Although sad for Harbor, I think it’s an excellent move for him and for the profession.”

Shreve said he is confident in Betts’

leadership ability at Harbor.

“I’ve known John a long time,” Shreve said. “He knows the organization and the staff knows him, so I think he’s very well equipped to step in and keep things going. He’s got the full support of the Harbor board and staff.”

Betts holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and physical education from Bluffton College and a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling from Bowling Green State University.

He also finished his doctoral coursework in psychophysiology at the University of Toledo, but never wrote his dissertation after deciding not to go into teaching after all.

“I’ve always been focused on the whole person,” Betts said. “That’s why I came back to Harbor and that’s why I’m here. I believe very strongly in the mission and vision and values that Harbor holds, which is to provide health, hope, happiness and opportunity for the people we serve and to

be the best partner and provider of choice for the people we work with and the people we collaborate with.

“It’s somewhat daunting (to become interim CEO) because you’re taking over from someone who’s done such a nice job for so long, but there’s a lot of new and innovative things going on with Harbor and that makes it exciting.”

Betts is confident Harbor’s future is bright, since Shreve helped build a strong structure that will stand firm regardless of who is at its helm.

“That is Dale’s legacy at Harbor,” Betts said. “He’s built a structure with staff that’s outstanding and a depth of supervisors, managers and administrators that are going to continue Harbor’s mission, vision and values. And I’m sure we will obtain a leader that will continue the concept of innovation so we can continue to lead in the mental health field.”

SETH GLIER WILL PLAY AT THE ARK IN ANN ARBOR ON JAN. 11.

Singer-songwriter to play new music in Ann Arbor

By Vicki L. Kroll

TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER vkroll@toledofreepress.com

“Things I Should Let You Know,” the beautiful, haunting title track of Seth Glier’s forthcoming disc, stays with you — and piques your curiosity.

“I think I was writing that when I was getting into a relationship and realizing that things are getting serious,” he said.

“And it wasn’t so much that I had to be real in the relationship or with the other person. The song is more about just being real and honest with yourself, and sometimes the relationship brought that out.”

The singer-songwriter started the track in his Massachusetts

apartment, worked on it while touring and finished the song on a San Francisco rooftop.

“I have this little portable recording studio that fits into a backpack essentially, and I threw that in the car because we were touring so much last year,” he said during a call from his home.

“That was a song that I literally kind of stitched together in every state that we played in; sometimes I was recording vocals, sometimes I was recording guitar. And it definitely changes the process because your perspective is so representative of where you are.”

Glier will play songs from “Things I Should Let You Know” when he stops at The Ark in Ann Arbor for an 8 p.m. show Jan. 11. Tickets are

$15. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

His second disc, “The Next Right Thing,” received a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.

Glier recorded all his vocals himself, and was assisted by three engineers to finish the music on the CD. “I was watching ‘Family Guy’ at the time and someone congratulated me on Twitter. I had no idea; I thought it was just a joke,” he recalled about the nomination news.

“I feel so lucky. I just turned 24 and never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that a Grammy nomination would be part of my career.”

He’s been earning accolades. USA Today said his “exquisite tenor echoes Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel.”

“I’m just trying to be me, and I’m trying to write what interests me and hopefully touch people along the way,” Glier said.

“Things I Should Let You Know” is slated for release on MPress Records Jan. 29.

“For me, the ultimate goal whether I’m making a record or whether I’m performing live, I want to leave people completely 100 percent transformed,” Glier said.

“That’s beyond being entertained; it’s beyond just having them forget about their life and problems for a while.

“At the end of their escape, they can face all the things that they were afraid to face and just be fearless.”O

“

I want to leave people completely 100 percent transformed. ... It’s beyond just having them forget about their life and problems for a while. At the end of their escape, they can face all the things that they were afraid to face and just be fearless.”
