Puppy love
t’s strange, the emotional connections we can make in a world of social media as the Internet lets us closely follow the lives of people we may have never even met. I have made friends who I have always been hundreds of miles away from, but who I love like family. And through following celebrities on Twitter and the like, I have grown to like them — or at least the face they show in public — as people. But still I was surprised at how saddened I was last week at a particular bit of news — the death of a pair of celebrities’ pets. Felicia Day, the talented creator/star of “The Guild” and the mind behind the YouTube network Geek and Sundry, lost her dog Cubby. And the very same day, actor and geek icon Wil Wheaton revealed his family had lost their oldest dog Riley. Thanks to their masters’ work and social media, I felt like I knew these animals. Cubby made appearances on Day’s Geek and Sundry Jeff McGinnis shows, and seemed a very lovable pup. Riley was a regular fixture on Wheaton’s Twitter feed, her goofy grin usually accompanied by Wil’s caption, “I’M A DOG!” symbolizing the enthusiasm Riley had for life and her owners in general. So the news of their departures hit home. But there’s more to it than that, I think. Most of us, at some point in our lives, have made a connection to a dog. Not just any pet, mind you, though I have cared about cats and other animals (my current house cat, Sammie, would bristle at the idea that I didn’t have room in my heart for other furry companions). But there’s just something about their personalities and the relationship we have with the dogs in our lives that makes them unique, and cements their place in our hearts long after they’re gone. My first dog was named Daisy, a lovely small brown pup we got when I was very young. I can still remember the bristle of her fur as she plopped next to me on the couch, or her joy when we’d let her out to go running around our property in the country. Daisy was a strange combination of rambunctious and meek — I remember her getting easily excited, but never jumping up on anyone or even barking loudly. Spooky was another matter. A larger black dog who turned up on our doorstep the day before Halloween (hence the name), Spooky was much more of a mutt who loved simply being a dog and running free behind our house. He was much more adventurous than Daisy, which led to my first real sense of loss as a child — the day he was hit on the road outside our house. A while later, Daisy simply went outside one day and never came back. I remember spending days on our back porch calling for her, but there was never any sign, leaving a wound in my childhood that has never quite healed. Never getting a chance to say goodbye to something that meant so much to you can hurt much longer than even a tragic farewell. A few years later, my family once more adopted a new puppy, a rolypoly ball of black-and-white fluff named Max. He was fun and excitable in that way that only puppies can be, and we tried to keep a closer eye on him after what had happened with Spooky. One day during a bad snowstorm, I lost my grip on Max as someone was coming in our door and he bolted outside. He was hit by a tractor driving by. I have never forgiven myself.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Lion’s death upsetting
As if having his beloved animals confiscated on Jan. 28 wasn’t bad enough, Tiger Ridge Exotics owner Ken Hetrick must now grieve the loss of Leo the lion, euthanized recently by the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA), the same entity that took him over two months ago. Operating behind a veil of secrecy and a communication blackout, the ODA said only that the lion had stopped eating and was beginning to shut down. Refusing to take any responsibility for the lion’s declining health, the ODA conveniently left out that they changed the lion’s diet and refused to maintain the hip dysplasia supplement Hetrick had been giving the lion per his veterinarian’s order. Indeed, not only has the ODA refused to hold itself accountable for a variety of problems with the seized animals, they destroyed the lion’s corpse by placing it in a vat of sulfuric acid. ODA will no doubt claim that this was for reasons of hygiene and public health, but it also destroys any evidence of their wrongdoing in the process. This farce must end! Hetrick has held a federal license, and been in full federal compliance for years. ODA in their zeal have chosen to ignore that fact. If the federal government is satisfied with Hetrick’s setup, why isn’t ODA? Why does the ODA continue to act with secrecy, refusing to have any contact with Hetrick, his lawyer or his veterinarian? What, exactly, is the ODA hiding? Only an outcry from the public will change this situation. Please consider adding your

We adopted another puppy not long before I started at university, a collie mix by the name of Missy. She lived with us the longest, and I grew to love her more than any other pet. For years, whenever I would come home from college or my new home here in Toledo, her bright eyes would greet me and she’d jump up with excitement, no matter how old she got. She was forever a puppy in her eyes — and mine. We lost Missy to old age a few years ago, long enough for my dear nieces to have met her and grown to love her, too.

O —Kelly Meister-Yetter Walbridge ODA response: First, “vat of acid” is a gross misrepresentation of the process the lab uses: an alkaline hydrolysis digester that uses a combination of some chemicals but mostly high heat and high pressure to break down matter because of the highly contagious tissue samples it deals with. Leo was humanely euthanized April 13 after experiencing complications from his chronic hip issues. Last week, department animal health staff began to observe signs of prolonged lateral recumbency, loss of appetite, increased rate of breathing, and decreased ability to move. State Veterinarian Dr. Tony Forshey and Assistant State Veterinarian Dr. Melissa Simmerman consulted with Dr. Richard Carstensen, Leo’s long-time veterinarian, and Dr. Randall Junge, vice president of animal health for the Columbus Zoo and The Wilds. All four veterinarians recommended to humanely euthanize the lion. The lion, Leo, was documented to be weak in the rear end and not walking correctly on Aug. 28 by an inspector from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. When the animal was transported in January, the lion had open lesions on his rear limbs due to his reduced mobility. For these reasons, Leo’s veterinarian actually had scheduled him to be euthanized on Jan. 26, though weather prevented the procedure from occurring.

I thought of Missy, and Daisy and Cubby, and Riley, and of all the dogs we love throughout our lives. I thought of how there are emotional holes in a home that can only be filled by floppy ears and understanding eyes. I thought of how I remember each one that shared my life’s journey, and how no matter how much time passes, they will forever hold a place in my heart. “I miss Missy, too,” I said to my niece. “She was my puppy for a long time.” “She was everybody’s puppy,” my niece said. “Because she was so beautiful.” Yes, she was.

The sad saga of the Hotel Seagate
or as long as I can remember, there has been a continuing effort to remake Downtown Toledo and keep it a viable center for
Lucas County and Northwest Ohio. The late 1960s saw the building of the 30-story Fiberglas Tower, the 15-story Toledo Edison Building and
the 19-story, 256-room Holiday Inn located at the southwest corner of Summit Street and Jefferson Avenue. Things were looking up in Toledo.

In June 1969, Charles McKelvy Jr., president of Downtown Toledo Associates, announced that construction of a new hotel was ready to begin. The opening of the first new Downtown hotel in 40 years was an important step in the revitalization of the city’s Downtown and riverfront area and was an important prerequisite for the building of a Downtown convention center. In July 1979, the original owners of the Holiday Inn Downtown transferred ownership of the hotel to five Gary local institutions that helped finance the project from its construction to present. The hotel had financial problems for years, due in part to the fact that the anticipated Downtown convention center had not been built. A new management firm was named to operate the hotel. McKelvy said the new owners considered the property economical and important to the continued revitalization of Downtown. Plans for repairs and improvements were made to keep the operation competitive. After that sale in 1979 the hotel was sold 10 more times, had seven name changes and was last known as the Hotel Seagate. Due to burst water pipes in early 2009, the hotel was forced to close for repairs that April and it did not reopen. The owners failed to do the necessary maintenance, repairs and upgrades to keep the property desirable. For three and a half years the structure was left unattended and, already in bad shape, began to severely deteriorate. During his term as mayor, Mike Bell made several trips to China to encourage investment in Toledo. Chinese firms purchased the Marina District and The Docks restaurant properties on the east side of the Maumee River. The Downtown Park Inn Hotel (now Park Inn by Radisson) was purchased by Chinese interests in September 2011. Then the Hotel Seagate was sold, for the ninth time, in November 2012 to what was reported as a Chinese investment firm unrelated to the purchasers of the Park Inn. With new ownership and fresh money, it seemed the Hotel Seagate would be renovated to operational status and would reopen for business. But who were the new owners? The hotel was purchased through Louisville Title Agency, which acted as trustees for the unnamed owners. Most believed they were investors from China, but no one really knew.
I like to think it was Keyser Söze (the greatest trick he ever pulled was convincing the world he was a fictional character played by Kevin Spacey in the 1995 movie “The Usual Suspects”). Sadly, the building was ignored by the new owners. No plans were announced. No repairs were made. Maintenance was not done. No cosmetic attention was performed on KISS the exterior to make it less of an eyesore. The hotel remained the same neglected building but with new owners. Then in 2014, the Lucas County Commissioners expressed an interest in acquiring the hotel and attempted to enlist partners to join in this venture. The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority, City of Toledo, Regional Growth Partnership and the Building Trades Council were among those contacted. None were willing to commit to the deal, but the county, undeterred, ventured alone to purchase the property. A deal was reached and the county commissioners unanimously agreed to pay $1.38 million for the Hotel Seagate in November. The unknown owner made a 130 percent profit on a $600,000 investment in just two years. The previous owners, National Republic Bank of Chicago, lost 87 percent ($4 million) of its $4.6 million investment in six and a half years. Hopefully they are a bank too big to fail. At the time of purchase, the county commissioners actually committed, depending on the tax breaks, between $3 million and $3.5 million of taxpayer money — not the commissioners’ money — to this transaction. Lucas County residents, this is our money. The commissioners, acting on our behalf, paid $1.38 million for 0.16 acres of land in Downtown Toledo containing a vacant structure that has no commercial value. It does have plenty of problems, including asbestos contamination. The commissioners have stated they intend to demolish the structure. It will cost an estimated $2 million for environmental cleanup, demolition and site preparation or landscaping. Not until the deed was done did the commissioners begin the quest to find partners, private and public, to help with the costs and development. n KISS CONTINUES ON 6

n KISS CONTINUED FROM 5 What is the next use for this onesixth acre of property? Certainly, a goal and business plan exist to justify the expenditure of precious taxpayer money, though none have been announced. But commissioner Pete Gerken is not worried. It may be some time before this property is anything more than a vacant but nicely landscaped lot that doesn’t generate any taxes to repay the residents of Lucas County. But until that time, Gerken assures us that it “adds green space and livability and walkability and sustainability for our Downtown.” Who could ask for anything more? In 1982, the commissioners voted to apply for a state loan to help fund the construction of a riverfront marketplace (Portside, Imagination Station today). Commissioner Ray Kest said, “It is usually not the role of the county to be involved in economic development, particularly in the Downtown of a city.” My how times have changed. Just say “economic development” and see how long it takes before some local government official finds you and says, “I’m in. What are we doin’?” What are the lessons to be learned from this? First, the hotel business in Downtown Toledo is high-risk and lowreturn. The two other hotels on Summit Street — the Park Inn by Radisson and the Grand Plaza Hotel — had high construction costs and they have not held their value very well. They have high rates of name changes, which causes identity
problems. Just covering the operating expenses is considered a successful operation. The two Downtown hotels are still making a go of it, but there is no demonstrated need for another Downtown hotel at this time, even though one of the stated goals of the county commissioners is to attract a nationally branded hotel to Downtown. The second lesson is that when the Hotel Seagate was built, it was hailed as important for Downtown revitalization and economic growth. When the hotel failed and it was decided that the building should be demolished, it was said this is important for Downtown revitalization and economic growth. The idea that this clears the way for a new hotel, which is needed for Downtown revitalization and economic development, really doesn’t seem to make sense. The third is that the more flowery and nonsensical the explanation any elected official or bureaucrat has for their actions, the more likely it is that they are trying to flim-flam you. If someone tells you that you can pay a nickel for corn and feed it to a chicken that will lay eggs that you can sell for 10 cents, that makes sense and is understandable. If, on the other hand, someone tells you that this is a quality-of-life issue that will assure peace, prosperity and understanding within the global village and is the solution to man-made climate instability in a zero-sum impact exercise to reduce income inequality and gender expression, you can be pretty sure they are

being nonsensical. After the Hotel Seagate purchase, the commissioners realized they needed to dip into reserves to cover the 2015 projected budget revenue shortfall. The possibility that spending could be reduced apparently wasn’t an option. The commissioners then chose the one and only course of action available to them to avoid this doomsday event in the future. On Jan. 20, they voted unanimously to raise the county sales tax rate to the maximum (1.5 percent) allowed by law. This is three times the county sales tax rate, 0.5 percent, paid in Summit County (Akron), which has 100,000 more residents than Lucas County. With this vote they assured $6 million to $7 million more revenue in 2015. Next year and for as long as people do retail business in Lucas County (which
may be only another decade or so, at the rate we are losing population), the additional tax revenue is estimated at $14 million, adjusted for inflation and economic activity. Commenting on the new tax rate, Commissioner Tina Skeldon Wozniak said the move was well-thought-out and officials believe taxpayers will rec-
ognize that the county commissioners are good stewards of their money. If these are the actions of good stewards, heaven help us if a band of drunken sailors ever get their hands on the county’s coffers. O Gary Kiss can be reached at letters@toledofreepress.com.

419 Day events celebrate Toledo
By Joel Sensenig
Toledo Free Press Managing Editor jsensenig@toledofreepress.com
There are a lot of reasons residents call Toledo home: like family, work, low cost of living and the convenience of a mid-sized city in close proximity to larger metropolitan areas. Pride seems to be moving up the list, as shown by Toledo-centered events like 419 Day, which celebrates the vitality of the 419 area code on April 19 (4/19). This year marks the fourth year the day is being celebrated. Centered in the Downtown and UpTown neighborhoods, 419 Day celebrates Toledo and Northwest Ohio. The two cornerstones of this year’s day are Artomatic 419! and Maker’s Mart. Artomatic 419! is a three-weekend celebration of arts that began April 11. The event is hosted at One Lake Erie Center, 600 Jefferson Ave., and runs 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. April 18 and 25. To coincide with 419 Day, Artomatic 419! is also open noon to 5 p.m. April 19. Maker’s Mart is an indie art and craft fair presented and hosted by Handmade Toledo at 1717 Adams St. The juried fair features handmade goods, including bath products, clothing, jewelry, home goods and paper products. Maker’s Mart, which began in 2012, is typically a one-day event, but is also being extended for 419 Day. It runs 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. April 18 and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 19. Maker’s Mart will feature goods from about 80 vendors in addition to the regular inventory at the adjoining Handmade Toledo’s Maker Shoppe, according to Jessica Crossfield, owner of Handmade Toledo. The family-friendly event will also feature food trucks, doughnuts from the new company Holey Toledough, as well as coffee from Bleak House Coffee. Crossfield said Maker’s Mart is an ideal event for 419 Day, and it made sense to extend the event to help celebrate Toledo. “I think it gets people excited about Toledo — excited about where they live,” she said. “[People] want to do things, and they want to celebrate a little bit by doing more Toledo-y things.” John Amato will also celebrate Toledo — not that it’s a new thing for him. His company, Jupmode, a screenprinting business based in Perrysburg originating in 2007, has made its mark on the local clothing scene with its line of Tshirts and sweatshirts, many of which celebrate Toledo pride in some fashion. Jupmode will be involved with both Artomatic 419! and Maker’s Mart, where it will allow people to make their own “You
Will Do Better in Toledo” postcards. “I think that 419 Day is really what we’re all about, and that’s promoting pride in Toledo,” Amato said. “It’s a somewhat random, fun day where people say, ‘Hey, let’s celebrate Toledo and let’s do something a little bit out of the ordinary to do that.’” Jupmode will offer 25 percent off its three shirt designs featuring 419 on them (T-shirts will be $15 and sweatshirts $30) through the weekend. Amato said 419 Day has already evolved and grown since it began, and he sees many signs that Toledo pride is on the rise. “I absolutely think it’s trending upward,” he said. “There’s evidence of it in a lot of ways. We’re seeing a lot of individuals and organizations move into city limits and back into the Downtown area, in UpTown, in the Warehouse District, in the central business district. … You see a migration back into the city. We have great minor league sports teams that generate a lot of pride in the city. We have a great museum and a great zoo that people recognize as things that are fun to do at any age.” Amato’s belief in rising Toledo pride is reflected in the number of Toledo-based shirts his company has sold. “I think a strong indication that city pride is alive and well would be the number of people that want to use the slogan “You Will Do Better in Toledo” on it,” he said. “We print that slogan in different variations for quite a few people. For Restaurant Week, we had ‘You will eat better in Toledo.’ We’ve done ‘You will drink better in Toledo.’ The key to that slogan is the word ‘Toledo.’ People wouldn’t use that slogan if they weren’t proud of where they were, because it identifies with one thing, and that’s Toledo. “I think you’re seeing a complete renaissance in the city,” Amato said. “I think there’s a ton of opportunity in Toledo. I certainly think our business is proud to be a part of that.” Jeff Jones has done his part through social media to help those in the 419 area code show their pride in their city and region. Jones, who has his own photography business, Snap It Photography, is the founder of IGers_Toledo, an Instagram group that has about 4,500 followers. Brandt Chapman is co-founder of the group that started in 2013. Nearly 20,000 photographs on Instagram have used the #IGers_Toledo hashtag for images “highlighting Toledo’s beauty, one moment at a time,” according to the group’s page. The group recently held a meet-up that attracted about 90 people from throughout the Midwest.
Attendees shot photographs at numerous places throughout Toledo and the region. Jones and Chapman are participating in Artomatic 419! and also have an area set up for Instagram users. Ben Morales, a frequent contributor to and supporter of IGers_Toledo, is putting together a group meet-up for 419 Day. Jones encourages Toledoans to become tourists of their own city. 419 Day is a good reminder of that, he said. “It’s a day that celebrates our city,” he said. “I feel like there’s a lot of good things in our city but people just have to open their eyes up. … Turn yourself into a tourist. You’ll go to another city and you’re amazed by so many things, but you forget about what’s surrounding you. We encourage people to turn themselves into a tourist for a day and they’ll rediscover the things that are near and cool and fun to go to. “Our focus with IGers_Toledo is to promote our city, promote the good things, the local things we love,” Jones said. He said he’s also getting ready to launch a website to help accomplish that goal. Other 419 Day events include: ✯ 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.: BrunchOmatic 419!, featuring an omelette, mimosa and bloody mary bar at Artomatic 419! Tickets are $30, include a $10 voucher toward the purchase of artwork at the show and must be purchased in advance. A cash bar will be provided by Village on Adams and Bicycle Wheel Expo silent auction curated by Dustin Hostetler. Call The Arts Commission at (419) 254-2787, ext. 15, to find out if tickets are still available. ✯ Noon: IGers_Toledo meet-up at the Toledo Museum of Art’s Glass Pavilion courtyard. From 1-3 p.m., the group plans to explore Downtown sites, and possibly conduct a rooftop photography session at 3 p.m. ✯ Noon and 3 p.m. at the Toledo Zoo: P. Marie Talent Management presents “419 Summer Dreams,” a kids’ and teens’ fashion show and mini expo featuring a runway show, talent contest, vendor tables, raffles and prizes.

Adams appointed to fill Ford’s vacant Council seat
By Sarah Ottney
Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief sottney@toledofreepres.com
Toledo’s newest City Council member has decades of experience with kids and education. Now she’s looking to transition that skill set to serve the whole of Toledo’s citizens and communities. Cecelia Adams, a Toledo Public Schools Board of Education member, was appointed April 14 to fill the atlarge Toledo City Council seat vacated by Jack Ford, who died last month. “Quality of education was my goal there,” Adams said of the school board. “Quality in the delivery of city services will be my goal here.” The party-endorsed Democrat garnered a seven-vote majority and was appointed on the first vote. Adams was nominated by Councilwoman Theresa Gabriel, an independent, who voted for her along with
Democrats Tyrone Riley, Steven Steel, Larry Sykes, Lindsay Webb, Matt Cherry and Mike Craig. Adams bested 28 other candidates for the seat. Also nominated were Sam Melden, executive director of the Center for Servant Leadership, and Jason Schreiner, a social studies teacher at Whitmer High ADAMS School. “I think people have a destiny and when something is for you, it just works out,” Adams said. “But at the same time I think I’m prepared. I have the skills, the knowledge, the experience. I have the will to do the work ... [and] I intend to put those skills and that will into play here at Council.” Adams’ school board term was set to end Dec. 31 and she said she
had recently decided to run for reelection in November. But her plans changed when Ford died. “My initial response was, ‘No, thank you. I’m on the school board.’ I wanted to institutionalize some of the things we’ve been able to get into place. There’s some great things in terms of the momentum that’s behind the school district,” Adams said. “But people kept talking with me until I said, ‘Maybe I better rethink this.’” With her family’s blessing, she decided to seek the Council seat. “It’s just a great opportunity to follow in the footsteps of someone so well-respected in the community,” Adams said. “[Ford] was a huge figure in our city, in our state.” The Council seat is actually the second time Adams has filled a seat vacated by Ford. She was elected to the board of education in 2011 after poor health prevented him from running for re-election.
“It was my great privilege to follow Mr. Ford on the board,” Adams said. “And it is beyond my wildest dreams that I could follow him on City Council. What an honor and a privilege.” Adams will serve on Council until the seat is filled in the November general election. She said she plans to run. The Toledo native is retired from a 30-year career as an educator and administrator with Toledo Public Schools. “Toledo is very important to me,” Adams said. “You have opportunities to leave, but I never wanted to. ... I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be able to help improve our city and make it better.” Improving Toledoans’ quality of life is important to Adams. “We need to look at [our neighborhoods] and make sure they are places people want to live and that people will be willing to stay,” she said. Council President Steel said Adams’ public service experience and background in education will be ap-
preciated on Council. “She’s already been an elected official so she understands the process of working through ... public budgets ... and working through issues in a public body and a public setting,” Steel said. “Then as we think through issues of neighborhoods and parks and economic development, most of the things we think about [focus on] what’s going to be best for the future, to make our community a community of choice so kids who want to stay here have an opportunity to stay here. Her lifetime in education is going to be a great asset.” Gabriel agreed. “Anyone that can succeed [working] the public school system can succeed anywhere in the world,” Gabriel said. “She’s going to bring a lot of knowledge and experience to Council.” Also April 14, Council unanimously voted to designate the 4-mile stretch of Nebraska Avenue between Division Street and Byrne Road Jack Ford Way.

North Toledo Coalition fighting crime by cleaning grime TOLEDO FREE PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR tkonecny@toledofreepress.com
TOLEDO FREE PRESS PHOTO BY CHRISTIE MATERNI
Alfonso Narvaez is part of a block watch program in the North End, but contrary to what some might think, he believes the tools of crime fighting can be purchased at the Home Depot where he’s employed. “When you clean up the neighborhood, it controls the crime,” said Narvaez, whose North Toledo Coalition uses plenty of rakes, shovels, chainsaws and mowers to tackle blighted alleys and lots throughout his lifelong neighborhood. Narvaez, 23, is spearheading a new wave of cleanup in his neighborhood, an area sandwiched between the Greenbelt Parkway and Summit Street, just immediately north of Downtown Toledo. In 2010, while still a teenager, Narvaez had had enough of seeing neighborhoods shaped by lack of attention and ran for City Council. His political dream was put on hold, although he’s running for Council again in the May 5 special election, but his door-todoor visits started bearing fruit. While canvassing, Narvaez ran into Larry Warnimont, a Perrysburg transplant who’s called the North End home since 1972. Before retiring, Warnimont worked as a facilities manager for the Toledo Trust Company. Narvaez spoke of his desire to clean up the streets, but Warnimont was skeptical. Warnimont had heard plenty of talk before with no follow-through. Narvaez wouldn’t give up. “I stood there for a few minutes and I said, ‘You’re going to take me serious,’ and one thing led to another,” Narvaez said. “It’s a great relationship, and [Warnimont’s] the one who started the photo album.” That photo album is a simple black binder, chock full of before-and-after photos that have caught plenty of attention. Narvaez and Warnimont
have attended various city meetings to show off the album and demonstrate what they’ve accomplished over the past five years. The coalition is also working hand-in-hand with various community groups. “Once we learned to communicate with the different groups in the city, we started taking off,” Warnimont said. “The city themselves are amazed at what we’ve done,” Narvaez said. “I got a note from [the late] Mayor Collins in December who thanked us then, and we’re still working with the city today.” Some alleys were so congested with trash and overgrown bushes they couldn’t be used by cars. Now, after a cleanup, a few homeowners have added garage doors. In the past year alone, the coalition has cleaned up 40 properties and picked up 97 abandoned tires in alleys and streets. On April 18, the group plans to meet at the corner of Ash and Summit streets to conduct a massive I-280 bike path cleanup project, collecting bags of trash and debris. Narvaez believes that what sets them apart from other block watches is that they give positions and titles to residents, offering responsibility and accountability. For example, Narvaez serves as a block watch captain, his uncle Adam Narvaez is the volunteer coordinator and Warnimont is a project manager. Warnimont was involved in a related effort during the late ’70s and ’80s, when citizens cruised the neighborhood and contacted police via citizens band radio. But that effort began to slowly fade away, and so did the garbage trucks that once used local alleys. “What we’ve done in the past five to six years has never been done in this neighborhood,” Narvaez said. “They’re seeing the neighborhood cleaned up for the first time. We get people that stop us all the time and ask what we’re doing, and they say, ‘Wow, it’s never been done.’ We’re not just a block watch, we’re more than that.” Narvaez said many of his neighbors
n ALFONSO NARVAEZ and Larry Warnimont of the North Toledo Coalition, which has cleaned up 40 properties in the past year.
believe they live in a forgotten area, but should Narvaez earn the voters’ support May 5, he’ll be proud to represent the expansive District 4 on City Council, which includes his North End friends. “As much as I like politics, to me it doesn’t matter; Republican or Democrat, it’s about putting our neighborhoods first,” said Narvaez, a Republican.
As for Narvaez’s age, he doesn’t believe that’s an issue, because he’s committed to Toledo for good. “I’m proud to be 23 years old,” Narvaez said. “When I tell people my age, they say ‘He’s a one-hit wonder,’ but by the time the Jamie Farr Park dredging project is done, I’ll be 30 years old. I’m here for the long term. I
was born and raised here.” Warnimont has witnessed Narvaez’s resolve firsthand over the past five years. “Alfonso, just because he’s 23, doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what’s going on,” he said. “I’ve learned some things from him. We’re just doing what we’re doing and trying to do the best we can.” O
“If great care were an amusement park ride, you’d be cutting to the front of the line.” There are a lot of awesome things about ProMedica certified nurse practitioners. One, you can usually get in to see one right away. Two, they’ll spend as much time with you as you need. And three, you’ll get top-level care since they are connected to a ProMedica Physician. All without the embarrassing photo at the end. You can make an excuse or you can make an appointment by calling 800-PPG-DOCS.

The automobile will get some long overdue star treatment as the focus of the inaugural Toledo Auto Film Festival, taking place May 8-17 in Northwest Ohio, and organizers are hoping the event will earn national recognition within five years. “Cars, to many individuals, are not interchangeable because [people] have a passion about a particular type of vehicle,” said David Groves, a Bowling Green State University professor who specializes in the automotive and racing world in BGSU’s School of Human Movement, Sport and Leisure Studies. The festival is divided into five components, three of which are being presented at local libraries and will focus on the legendary Dixie Highway, cars of the ’40s and ’50s, and the development of windshields. The Wood County District Public Library is situated on the famed Dixie Highway (better known as Main Street in downtown Bowling Green), and will host a talk about that road; the ToledoLucas County Public Library and Rossford Public Library will also host events. Short films are planned at each, and a military vehicle show will be held in Downtown Toledo. An Internet film festival will be held during the summer. The festival’s final portion is a film competition that will let youth and adult filmmakers create and submit

their own short films for competition in October, with prizes to be awarded. Groves teamed with auto racing historians Susan Weiss of Appalachian State University and Mark Howe of Northern Michigan University to bring the festival to fruition. The trio originally thought Las Vegas would be the best location for an auto film festival, but Richard Nachazel, Destination Toledo president, convinced them otherwise. “[He] really talked me into having it here in Toledo,” Groves said. Autos and films in Toledo have some individual history of their own, but the two have also intersected. The peak of Toledo auto film mania may have occurred on May 28, 1978, when the former Showcase Cinemas on Secor Road played host to the premiere of the modest film “Corvette Summer.”
Mark Hamill, appearing in his first movie since “Star Wars,” would ultimately come to Toledo to promote his film. The premiere was accompanied by a Corvette parade at the Lucas County Recreation Center that set a new Guinness World Record with 10,000 Corvettes, according to event organizer Terry Michaelis, whose ProTeam Corvette Sales of Napoleon was located in Maumee at the time. “I convinced [MGM Studios] to do their premiere in Toledo, because it was the glass capital of the world, and Owens Corning was involved with glass components with the Corvette, and they bit,” Michaelis said. Groves said event planners are also looking for people who can offer oral histories. For more information, visit www. toledoautoff.org. O

Growers give advice on spring planting process By Danielle Stanton
Toledo Free Press News Editor dstanton@toledofreepress.com
Toledo free press photo by christie materni
Weather permitting, April means gardening and area growers and retail garden shops have advice on what and how to plant for everyone from beginners to experienced planters. Jerry Sullivan, owner of Black Diamond nursery since 1953, suggests that beginner growers keep their garden plot small. “The best advice I try to give beginners is don’t get a garden too big to take care of,” Sullivan said. Sullivan recommends a 10-foot-by10-foot or 10-foot-by-15-foot plot, as anything bigger requires weeding and “doing it all.” Planters should grow the things that are easy to grow, Sullivan said. A good place to start is with seed vegetables, like radishes, carrots and string beans, he said. Then, growers can graduate to vine vegetables, like tomatoes, cucumbers and watermelons, which require larger plots. Gene Klotz, owner of Klotz Floral Gift & Garden Center in Bowling Green, said April is the best time for cool weather plants like lettuce, cabbage and herbs. He is also a part of the Maumee Valley Growers Association (MVGA). “Typically, your annuals and perennials should wait till the end of the month because we’re waiting to see what this weather will do,” Klotz said. Klotz doesn’t like to push people to plant too soon because most plants do better in warmer weather. If people are itching to plant now, Klotz recommends cabbage, lettuce, broccoli, onions and potatoes. Asparagus likes the warmer weather, and gardeners should hold off on tomatoes and peppers too, he said. It’s also still too cool for annual flowers like marigolds or petunias.
Klotz recommends visiting an independent garden center for information. Most are family operated and have good advice for growers, he said. His family has owned Klotz Floral Garden Center since 1918. Jill Bench of Bench’s Greenhouse and Nursery said what to grow and when all depends on what a planter wants. Herbs can now be grown inside, but perennials are not ready for the hard ground yet. If they’ve been growing inside under “beautiful” conditions, they won’t do well if taken outside, she said. However, simple plants can currently be grown outside. “Beginner herbs are easy,” said Bench, who is president of the MVGA. “They like it dry and thrive on neglect and they start in the kitchen window. They need water but don’t like to be over-watered.” Bench’s garden center sells three potted plant combinations in 14inch containers. The plants can be re-potted in the store by the buyer or taken home and re-potted. Bench’s Greenhouse has planted 14,000 hanging baskets, thousands of pots of perennials and hundreds of annuals, Bench said. Bench’s also has vegetable and herb starters and cactus in its faery garden. “What to grow is weather dependent,” Bench said. “Typically, a frostfree date is around Mother’s Day.” Her advice to planters: “Grow local and buy local. April is not predictable enough not to plant inside, but by May you should trim roses and cut down grasses. Of course, the ‘Farmers’ Almanac’ says it’s time to go cut things back and get ready for the spring.” Bench’s Greenhouse offers a free “Ready? Let’s Grow!” seminar every Saturday to help customers “get into the garden frame of mind,” Bench said. Upcoming plant exchanges include: O April 25: OSU Extension Master

His store is stocking over 300 of the official 400 RSD titles, including 50 copies of the Canadian band 24 Gone’s 1991 album “The Spin,” which is being released by Culture Clash Records. It’s the store’s second vinyl release, behind last year’s “Breaking Glass: Garage Rock from Toledo Ohio.” Avid listeners of 89X (88.7 FM radio station out of Windsor, Ontario) during the mid-1990s will likely recognize the album’s song “Girl of Colours.” The album has never been released in the U.S. nor on vinyl anywhere. It will retail on RSD for $19.99. The Toledo store is selling 50 of the 500 copies made in a one-time pressing of the album. “I’m really, really pleased with the
way it came out: beautiful package, nice blue vinyl,” O’Connor said. “[24 Gone] had a real impact on this area in the mid-’90s because 89X — who was just a force during those ‘alternative’ years — jumped on them, but it was never available in the States. … People around this area were so obsessed with it, they would even have nights where 89X would just play the record straight so people could record it on cassette.” 24 Gone bassist Zeljko Karlica said the band was surprised to hear a record store in Toledo wanted to release the album on vinyl more than two decades after its original release. “We were very flattered by the interest in our music,” he told Toledo Free Press in an email. “We honestly had no
idea the extent of the popularity of ‘The Spin.’ We were so pleased when Pat O’Connor asked us if we would be interested in releasing this limitededition vinyl, as originally it was to be released on vinyl but then CDs happened and we went with the new format. … It has even prompted us to get together again and possibly do some live performances in your area.” While Karlica has seen the physical product, he has yet to listen to it. There’s a good reason for that. “I have seen the album and I think it’s beautiful,” he said. “Though I need to get a turntable to listen to it. I should have learned by now that what’s old is new.” n Records CONTINUES ON 16

16 Star n RECORDS CONTINUED FROM 15 Laura Fredericks, manager of Finders Records, 128 N. Main St., Bowling Green, said last year’s RSD was the store’s largest sales day since it opened in 1971. “[RSD] continues to give people a reason to go to a store like ours, a physical store, to have the opportunity to browse records, interact with people and not just be a click on your computer or your phone. You get the whole experience — you get to find 10 other things when you went to look for one. … It keeps that need to have a physical experience, just like holding a record.” In many ways, RSD is a celebration of the vinyl resurgence; most of the releases are records, with only a few CD releases. Metallica is releasing the demo “No Life ‘Til Leather” on cassette. The increased appreciation of vinyl isn’t a trend O’Connor would have predicted years ago. He’s not complaining. “It’s just a great way to listen to music,” he said from behind the counter of his store, the 24 Gone album spinning on the turntable behind him. “When you put on a record, you’re basically devoting yourself to listening to that record, so it becomes the activity and not just background. There’s just so much interest in the cover, the cover art, the words.” The vinyl resurgence has caused Finders to reconfigure its three-room store. It recently dedicated more space in its north room to vinyl, which Fredericks said accounts for about 40 percent of total music sales — a
number that is trending upward. Friendly Beaver Records opened in late 2013 at 136 Main St. on Toledo’s East Side. “We find that our clientele range from early high school age all the way up to grandparents looking for that certain song that they just can’t find anywhere,” owner Broc Curry said. “With the increase in vinyl sales, people look at music as more of an experience. You have to take the time to buy the record then go home and put it on the turntable and maybe enjoy a cup of coffee and really absorb the music. It really is a great time to be an independent record store and RSD helps tremendously.” Curry said the store’s first 25 customers will receive free Friendly Beaver T-shirts (which will sell for $5 the rest of the day). “Supporting RSD also means you are supporting local business, so make sure you check out all of the fine
record stores that [the Toledo area] has to offer,” Curry said. Also participating in RSD are the Allied Record Exchange stores located at 3550 Executive Parkway, 1710 S. Reynolds Road and 1734 W. Laskey Road. “Nostalgic and nearly abandoned media is not new to us,” said Robin Schultes, sales associate and public relations representative for Allied’s Reynolds Road location, which has sold records, cassettes, reel-to-reels and 8-tracks since opening in 1998. “Needless to say, Record Store Day is a day of excitement for the new, curious and veteran collectors,” Schultes said. The Allied stores will feature hundreds of RSD-exclusive releases, 25 percent off all used records and buyone-get-one-free deals on all $0.25 and $1 LPs. RamaLama Records, 3151 W. Central Ave., is not participating in official RSD sales but will offer 10 percent off all new items and 20 percent off all used items, as well a whole wall of “deep discounts,” according to owner Rob Kimple. As it often does, Culture Clash will host an in-store performance on RSD by a new Athens, Ohio, band, Sweet Lil, who just released a four-song EP. The band will make its Toledo debut at approximately 4:30 p.m. RSD titles are available April 18 on a first-come, first-serve basis.

In the Cannes
UT graduate’s short film heading to global film fest.
By Chase Will Toledo Free Press Staff Writer star@toledofreepress.com
It pays to dream big. Toledoan Nathan Elias can attest to that. His short film “The Chest” has officially been accepted into the 2015 Cannes International Film Festival. Elias not only directed the film, but co-wrote and co-starred in it alongside writing partner Rachel Paulson, sister of “American Horror Story” actress Sarah Paulson. “The Chest” is a dramatic short about three dysfunctional siblings battling over their father’s possessions after his death. Elias plays Oliver, whose manic depression is worsened by his egotistical brother’s taunts. “When Rachel and I were writing the piece, we tried to write something that was very personal to both of us,” Elias said. “It comes from a person who doesn’t quite know their identity. They know they’re different from their family but can’t quite explain why.” Acceptance into Cannes is one of the most prestigious honors for filmmakers. The invitationonly event takes place in Cannes, France, each May and has been the launching ground for many careers in show business. Receiving the email announcement of acceptance sent shockwaves through Elias, who’s been honing his craft for nearly 11 years. “I had to go online and double-check the email was correct,” he said. “I got it really early in the morning. I think if I would’ve gotten it mid-afternoon I would’ve been jumping for joy, but I was barely conscious when I saw it.” The acceptance also validated the countless hours put into production, from crowdfunding the project via IndieGoGo.com to highlighting the specificity within each shot during postproduction. “There was a sigh of relief that the work had paid off,” Elias said. “You always enter a danger zone when you make any artistic piece and put it out into the world. There’s a question of, ‘If I throw this against the wall, will it stick?’ I’ve made projects that don’t stick and never see the light of day.” Elias is a 2011 film and creative writing graduate of the University of Toledo. He moved to Los Angeles after finding jobs on a few shoots in Ohio, such as doing crew work on 2012’s “Fun Size” and field producing MTV’s reality show “Made.” Contacts he made on each set told him work was more consistent in Los

Angeles. Planning on making film a full-time gig, Elias knew he needed to go west. “I was in a position where I would travel to different cities just to work on these films and I’d be living out of hotel rooms,” Elias said. “Basically, the money I’d make on set would just pay for these hotel rooms so I could be on set somewhere.” After meeting Paulson, the duo co-wrote their first short, “Kleptos.” The seven-minute story of a conservative man taught the joys of shoplifting by an enigmatic girl, which Elias also appeared in, was an Official Selection of the 2014 Texas Independent Film Festival. The experience of acting in the same film he’d co-written fed Elias’s ambition, and he decided he’d direct the next project. This was how they arrived at “The Chest,” which is nearly three times the length of “Kleptos” and was far more demanding in every aspect, Elias said. “Usually with short films, they tell you to keep them as short as possible, but we kind of wanted to go a risky route and also tell a good story,” Elias said.
Elias and Paulson decided to use “Kleptos” to demonstrate to investors their abilities both behind and in front of the camera. Although much of the film was shot before the online funding campaign ended, the project ended up fully funded. In making “The Chest,” the duo was joined by Kenneth Bauer, another UT graduate. Bauer was director of photography for the shoot. He’d met Elias through jobs in Ohio before moving to California and landing a job in the camera department of 2013’s “Parker,” starring Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez. “I like working with Nate. He was really precise, a great writer,” Bauer said. “I really admired his work for a while, so after reading the script I really just wanted to be part of it because I knew it would turn out nicely.” Elias is currently working on a short film based on his fiction story, “Right Now at This Very Moment,” which was published in Birdville Magazine.
