Publisher’s statement

419 days

t has been interesting to see two great community image efforts garner so much attention this past week. On the surface, 419 Day and the branding effort “It Matters Where You Make It” seem to be miles apart. 419 Day was a grassroots movement with no marketing budget that encompassed several locations and events. “It Matters” comes from the Toledo Region Branding Initiative, a nearly five-year, $800,000 project of the Northwest Ohio Brand Council — representatives from various public and private organizations who came together in 2009 with a common goal to promote the region.

Despite their varying resources and backing, both events show the movement of pride and enthusiasm Thomas F. Pounds that is crucial to a community’s identity and ability to sell itself.

As Toledo Region Brand Manager Jeff Schaaf told us recently, “When you go on a job interview, you don’t tell them your faults; you tell them your strengths. We’re trying to promote the good stuff and, as we’re finding the negative stuff, we’re trying to work on that as well. There are plenty of things we could talk about if you want to talk about problems. Those are not unique to Toledo. There are issues in every city. Our organization’s sole purpose is to promote the Toledo region and the positive assets and that’s what our focus is going to continue to be.”

John Amato, owner of JUPMODE, which offers specialty Toledo pride T-shirts, told us about his enthusiasm for 419 Day. “It’s going to be a really important day because … it’s just a buildup of all the neat little things people have created in Toledo,” he said. “419 Day is another example of the momentum that Toledo has right now. Our city pride is growing and expanding through the region. So it is a really exciting and special time to be in Toledo.”

Toledo Free Press has been shouting that for nearly 10 years now, and it is exciting to see the momentum Amato references become daily reality. That such disparate efforts can join into one burst of civic pride is encouraging. The potential to make that excitement a national (and international) message is exhilarating.

Congrats and thanks to the people behind both efforts. O Thomas F. Pounds is president and publisher of Toledo Free Press. Contact him at tpounds@toledofreepress.com.

“

“I was very confident going into the making of this record,” she said. “You have to remember I was 30 years old when the album was released and I had been around. I had been in bands and had played live for almost 10 years. I had a record deal with my band Blue Angel before my solo deal.

When I got signed to Portrait [Records] as a solo artist, I knew exactly the kind of record I wanted to make, what I wanted it to say, what I wanted it to sound like.”

While a lot of ’80s-era music is trapped in its MTV sound chamber, “She’s So Unusual” has aged well and Lauper said that is in large part due to her production choices.

“Growing up I was influenced by the blues and then by rock music and then later electronic music and then pop music and reggae, and I think all of those influences came to bear on this album,” she said. “It wasn’t just an ’80s album, it was an album that incorporated different sounds from different periods and maybe, for that reason, it doesn’t sound dated. I never wanted to follow music trends. Because you want all of your albums to sound good 30 years later and beyond.”

Lauper said that at first, she did not react positively to the recording of “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.” “The first time I heard ‘Girls’ I didn’t like the mastering on it. I thought at first my voice was a little buried,” she said. “In retrospect, it worked well that way because of the key it was in but I wasn’t thrilled at first. I got used to it.

The spirit of the music and my voice was there. And then it became a hit.

“Not everyone was convinced ‘Girls’ should be the first single. It was important to me to have a hit with an uptempo song first because if we led with a ballad I would be known as a ballad singer only, and not a rocker. I had seen it happen with a few of my friends who never could get out of that space. I also knew going with an uptempo first would give the album longer life. Then we followed ‘Girls’ with ‘Time After Time,’ which sounded good the first time I heard it.”

One of the album’s gutsier choices was a gender-bending cover of Prince’s “When You Were Mine,” which had recently charted for Mitch Ryder in a version produced by John Mellencamp.

“I’ve never heard the [Ryder] version,” she said. “Rick Chertoff played me the Prince tune and I just really loved it.

I wanted to sing it how it was written, never really thought too much about it.”

Giggling all the way

Lauper said she “giggled all the way to the top 5” when “She Bop,” an envelope-pushing song about female masturbation, became a hit.

“Eventually, of course, we were found out and the song became one of the poster songs for Tipper Gore’s Parents Music Resource Center,” Lauper said. “It’s funny, I met her a few years ago and we had a really good conversation. I think the PMRC complaints actually helped the music become a bigger hit.”

With the whirlwind of touring, videos, magazine covers and wrestling cameos at the time, Lauper said the peaks of “She’s So Unusual” passed by in a blur.

“I did so much promotion and publicity during the life of the album that I probably was out on the road working it when [‘Time After Time’ hit No. 1],” she said.

“I remember the first time I heard ‘Girls’ on the radio. I was in Boston in the car of the local label guy there. I got my first real spins in Boston on ‘Girls’ but that’s the only vivid memory I have from that time. And for ‘Time’ to be the second single off the album and go to No. 1 was gratifying because I had to fight really hard to get songs that I wrote on the album.”

“She’s So Unusual” earned six Grammy nominations, but in a year honoring Prince’s “Purple Rain,” Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” and Tina Turner’s comeback “Private Dancer,” Lauper’s debut went a painful 2-for-6.

“When the Grammy nominations came out and I got

Lauper won the 1984 ‘Best New Artist’ Grammy.

six, including best cover art (which went to Lauper’s art director Janet Perr), we were so excited because, at the time, we were the little engine that could,” Lauper said. “When the actual Grammys happened and I lost each one, including Song of the Year [to Turner’s “What’s Love Got to Do with It?”], I felt worse for the people at the label who worked so hard to make the record a hit. Just to watch their faces as each category came and went and we didn’t win. I did get Best New Artist Grammy that year. But the Grammy I really wanted to win was Song of the Year, which ‘Time After Time’ was nominated for. But 30 years later, the song is still so widely covered, that is award enough.”

Following up a legend

Despite the success and pressure of a top 5 debut album, more top 5 singles than any woman had achieved at that time, influential videos, Grammy awards, a Weird Al parody and a Rolling Stone cover, Lauper said she did not fret about a follow-up.

“I did not think about that but a lot of people kept saying that to me. I was thrilled to have so much success off of my solo debut album, but I was familiar, too, with not having success,” she said. “So yeah, of course I wanted my second solo record to be a hit, too, but I was more excited to be back in the studio than nervous about it following up ‘She’s So Unusual.’

“When we recorded that second album [‘True Colors’] it was just not a great experience because there were a lot of people around me saying exactly that and a lot of secondguessing and less creative control for me than I had on ‘She’s So Unusual.’ But I unfortunately think that is really common, that once you have a hit, everyone wants in on the next project, everyone wants to give their two cents and it can be distracting.”

Thirty years later, Lauper said she is happy with ‘She’s So Unusual’ and its legacy.

“I wouldn’t change a thing!” she said. “Listening to it again, I mean really listening to it again, after Sony approached me about the 30th anniversary, cemented that. It still sounds good to me.

“And you can hear how much fun we had making it.” O Michael S. Miller is editor in chief of Toledo Free Press and news director for 1370 WSPD. Email him at mmiller@toledofreepress.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Sid Kelly diminishes humanity of low-income people TO THE EDITOR,

I am writing in response to Sid Kelly’s April 20 editorial, “Accepted Assistance.” Kelly’s thesis appears to be that low-income Ohioans are using their SNAP benefits to purchase things they don’t need. The word “need” comes up a lot. One person doesn’t “need” crab legs. Another doesn’t “need” an iPhone.

All this talk of need got me thinking. What do people need? We need hydration. We need vitamin C to ward off scurvy. We need calories, fats and proteins. Do we need crab legs? Do we need phones? Do we need a Downtown ballpark?

Do high-income Ohioans need the money they get from the home

mortgage interest deduction?

More importantly, do people need choice, agency or free will? Do people need to make their own decisions about their own life? Maybe they splurge once in a while on their favorite foods. Maybe they have a phone that doubles as their computer. Or maybe, as Kelly argues, these people are prioritizing things we wouldn’t prioritize. Just like Toledo using their tax dollars to build a stadium and wealthier individuals using their tax credits on vacations or second homes, low-income Ohioans deserve the respect of being able to make choices with their benefits.

That agency is a need. And Kelly’s judgment of that need only serves to diminish the humanity of our low-

income brothers and sisters.

There is another need. I need your readers to understand that no one “approach[es] assistance as a vacation” as Sid Kelly claims. To qualify for SNAP (food stamps), a household must be under 130 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. That’s less than $1,270 per month for a single person. About $2,580 per month for a family of four. Some vacation.

These people — our neighbors — are hungry and desperate. These benefits help them put food on the table.

There is no value in shaming them for occasionally buying crab legs or saving up to buy a phone. O — L. Russell Allen Columbus

Disappointed in Collins

Murphy’s law

DEAR MAYOR COLLINS,

TO THE EDITOR,

I am writing this letter on behalf of my family who are property owners in Toledo, who have attended the public schools and have invested their time and money into businesses in and around Toledo. We are committed to the success of Toledo.

I am very disappointed to hear that you will not entertain any plans to privatize the Toledo Express Airport.

I hope that you will reconsider your position. The business at Toledo Express Airport has been shrinking for a number of years. Paul Toth, president of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority, has stated that “we continue to see great growth, good numbers,” in referring to the airports. Where are these numbers? Where is the evidence to support this statement?

The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority may have been the right group to manage the Toledo airports in 1973. However, it is 2014 and our economic situation is different. Under the current management, we have lost tax revenue, traffic volume has decreased, putting us at risk for reduced federal funding, and we have seen a decrease in economic development.

If we want the situation to change, then we need to change. We need a thorough review of the current management of the Toledo airports. We need to consider credible alternative solutions like the Treece plan. The taxpayers deserve the opportunity to hear the details of the proposal in a public forum. Improved management equals more tax revenue to improve schools and more jobs to help put Toledoans back to work. Now is the time to get out in front of this issue before it is too late. Let’s be proactive!

I have started a Facebook page www.facebook.com/SavetheToledo Airports and I have sent this letter to Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins and the Toledo City Council. O

I just finished reading Tom Pounds’ Publisher’s Statement on the State of the Region in the April 20 issue of Toledo Free Press. I read the advice of Tom Murphy and I thought it to be very timely. Pounds’ column states, “Murphy said Pittsburgh invested in its cultural community and reclaimed the waterfront. Those are both lessons we should well heed.” Having just spent this past Saturday at 419 Day, I am very proud of how Toledoans support their cultural community. There are so many cultural opportunities available and people around the area show their support in so many ways.

However, what about the waterfront advice? We are about ready to sell out some reclaimed waterfront to ProMedica. People fought hard to open that area up to the public by getting rid of a hideous governmentissue building. Are we really going to give up this land for a parking garage?

Are there alternatives? Some say that placing the garage underground is too costly. I think it would be worth the cost — in the long term.

I would suggest that people look no further than the University of Cincinnati. They have created acre upon acre of green space by placing parking structures underground. The aesthetics of the campus have changed drastically, making it a much more inviting campus. There is no doubt that enrollment has been positively affected by these decisions.

Like Pounds, I hope we can heed Murphy’s lessons. Let’s look at alternatives to another ugly parking garage blocking the view of our waterfront and taking up valuable space that could be enjoyed by generations of Toledoans. As Murphy stated, “You need to think of Toledo, not as it is today, but as it can be in the future.”

Will we heed this advice or settle for most expedient? O

DEVELOPMENT

Murals, public art used to revitalize neighborhoods

By Danielle Stanton

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Vacant lots strewn with trash, abandoned buildings littering the city, boarded-up windows — it’s no secret that neighborhood blight is a problem in Toledo. “Revitalizing neighborhoods” even became a campaign issue in the November election.

One such abandoned building sits at the corner of 18th Street and Madison Avenue in the UpTown neighborhood. The Arts Commission, Art Corner Toledo (ACT), Home Depot, the UpTown Green planning committee and volunteers from United Way of Greater Toledo are all working together to place murals over its boarded-up windows.

The artwork is expected to do for UpTown what murals have done for other parts of the city. Murals have revived dilapidated landscapes, increased a sense of ownership and transformed a neighborhood plagued by vandalism and prostitution to one that kindles respect and pride. Murals have revitalized Toledo’s neighborhoods, supporters say, and more are planned. “[Murals] have a huge, huge impact on the way people interact with the city and engage with the city,” said Ryan Bunch of the Arts Commission.

“They’re more aesthetically appealing ... they create meaning. ... Some of Downtown is a little rough-looking at times and it creates this feeling that ‘I’m not alone here — there’s some life and activity here.’” n MURALS CONTINUES ON 7

n MURALS CONTINUED FROM 6 “Murals and public art have been proven to create destinations for people to visit, take photos and simply be in a positive, creative space and place,” said Rachel Richardson of ACT. “They also attract developers and activate parts of blighted neighborhoods that need some extra help due to decades of decay.”

“Neighborhood revitalization and economic development follow in the wake of public art.”

The murals at 18th Street and Madison Avenue will be painted on panels that can be moved to preserve the art for the future. The Arts Commission is accepting artist submissions with a design concept of “activism and community.” When finished, the murals will be 8.5 feet high and 14 feet wide with contributions from more than 10 artists.

“We are excited about it,” said Julie Champa, executive director of the UpTown Association. “And it will certainly add to the overall feel of the neighborhood in general.”

The mural will be adjacent to a park, called UpTown Green, that is currently under construction. Both the mural and the park are expected to enhance the neighborhood and entice potential developers.

Toledo City Council plans to vote on a measure to spend $15,000 on mu-

rals for the city. The money will match $15,000 offered by Lucas County and will go to ACT, said City Council member Lindsay Webb. The measure was on the agenda April 22 but was held for a vote, Webb said.

“Murals are a great way to capture the heart of a neighborhood and express it visually, Webb said. “It’s a part of developing and identifying and dealing with blight. My hope is that we can roll it out citywide and look at Summit Street or maybe on Secor Road and in East Toledo.”

Point Place is also another neighborhood that has expressed interest in getting a mural.

“Point Place would love to put up murals about boats and that aspect.

I can’t do that if I don’t have the resources,” Webb said.

One percent of the city’s capital budget is designated to the Arts Commission, Webb said, but that money must be used on city-owned property.

Council would like to get murals into neighborhoods to improve blight and increase economic development, she said.

n MURALS CONTINUED FROM 7 The business owners in the area and the residents were “all happy and full of excitement” to have him paint a mural on the side of the Red Velvet Jazz Club at Junction and Belmont avenues.

“It was really good feedback for me. I felt special,” Jacobs, 45, said. “It brought a lot of people out who didn’t want to come out.”

The building is under new ownership and in the process of opening, according to Jacobs.

Jacobs has painted a number of murals around the city, many of them as a volunteer. He attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and taught kindergarten through sixth grade before life got in the way and he said he lost his creative direction.

“I wanted to give up,” he said. “I ended up finding myself again and experiencing art. ... I had to get humble. Once I started volunteering, it worked wonders. ... My whole thing was to make the city my sketchbook. No one knew I was an artist. I started going around giving businesses a ‘hug.’”

Richardson enlisted Jacobs to paint the mural that he says altered the Junction neighborhood.

“The spirit of the neighborhood completely changed,” he said. “A lot of the businesses had hope when they saw it. And even the people, the winos, they had something positive to talk about. They saw people come into their neighborhood who didn’t live there (who) had passion and drive for their neighborhood. ... They needed to step their game up and join in. ... So many people I would never talk to came to talk to me and offer suggestion on what they wanted to see.”

The Love Wall

The “Toledo Loves Love” mural at Adams and 13th streets has not only helped revitalize the UpTown area, it has also become a destination spot. Wedding parties, residents and people taking selfies use it as a backdrop.

“It’s a great promoter of Toledo,” said Manos Paschalis, owner of Manos Greek Restaurant, 1701 Adams St., and the owner of the building sporting the “Toledo Loves Love” wall. “Yes, it brings people together and it brings energy to the area and it’s always positive.”

That positive energy can only enhance a neighborhood, Champa said.

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com “The ‘Toledo Loves Love’ has gotten a lot of attention. ...

So many people come to that and take pictures. It’s become synonymous with the district and we think that’s really cool.”

Paschalis said the mural is bringing in business; every year, more and more people who come out to see the mural are flocking to area businesses.

A new business is going in at the building the mural adorns. Toledoan Aggie Alt is opening Moxie Live, an art house and pub that will have art on display and offer theater, dance and “anything to do with art,” Alt said.

“I think the mural is such a perfect fit,” she said. “I think it’s going to help us identify with that area. Even people outside the city know it.

“The mural shows artists, ‘Yeah, you can have your work shown here and (the art world) isn’t dead,’ and I think the mural really promotes that.”

‘The Voyage’

In 2013, the United Way of Greater Toledo held its Days of Caring event. The organization set out to “transform a neighborhood, strengthen relationships.” And to do that, they went straight to the Junction neighborhood residents to find out what changes they wanted.

The neighborhood responded. During the event, more than 30 properties were landscaped and mulched, 13 houses painted, five schools beautified, three wheelchair ramps built, two home foundations repaired, two playgrounds improved, one church basement floor installed and two murals painted, plus much more.

Titled “The Voyage,” one of the murals looks like a big blue wave rolling across the side of a building and wrapping around its edges.

It’s painted on the old Munchies building at North Detroit Avenue and Dorr Street, whose sign reads “Munchies.

Again. Shrimp. Fish. Chicken.” Behind it sits a Family Food Center and, next door, a dollar store.

“The concept that we wanted to capture is that there is a voyage that needs to take place, for the past, present and future — so (the generations) know who they are and how they are connected to American history with a positive perspective,” said Alicia Smith, a resident and community organizer. n MURALS CONTINUES ON 9

n MURALS CONTINUED FROM 8 Smith sees the mural as not only a lesson in the voyage of life, but also a testament to relationships: Hundreds of volunteers, sponsors and residents worked together to make the mural and Days of Caring a reality.

“The most important thing is connection. There’s strength in connection; there’s power behind connection. ... When you allow the community to have a voice you stop prescribing what

you think they need and they start prescribing what they need,” Smith said.

United Way shifted to a grassroots way of interacting with the community about five years ago, said Emily Avery, director of community engagement at United Way of Greater Toledo.

The organization listened to the residents at Days of Caring, acted and got great feedback, she said.

“We heard a lot from the neighborhood — it gave people hope again — just to see how much community

support that they had,” Avery said.

“It’s amazing what a little paint can do. We heard from people that it just kind of spread joy through the neighborhood.”

The Junction neighborhood is not done with its revitalization plan. They recently cleared sidewalks, organized a voter registration drive and will continue to landscape and paint. The journey is not over, Smith said.

“We’re going to continue to do murals. The voyage doesn’t stop,” she said.

Gordon Ricketts was influenced by the Latino art of his San Diego childhood. As art professor and director of the Arts Village at Bowling Green State University, he wanted to bring the Latino art style to Toledo. To do so, he enlisted his friend Mario Torero.

Torero, an artist born in Peru, helped paint 60 colorful murals on the concrete support piers for the San Diego-Coronado Bridge and I-5, called Chicano Park in San Diego’s Barrio Logan neighborhood.

RaceJoy app to make Ohio debut at Glass City Marathon

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

A new app developed by a company with Northwest Ohio connections will make its Ohio debut at the Medical Mutual Glass City Marathon on April 27.

The app, called RaceJoy, was released about a year ago by Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based developer TriPerta, based on the personal experiences of owners James and Shelly Harris as both athletes and spectators.

“James used to do triathlons and Ironmans and I’d be out there with the kids all day trying to cheer him on,” Shelly said. “It can be very tiring for the spectator and stressful. We wanted something that could let us know where the other was and ways to connect in with each other.”

Shelly’s mother moved to the Toledo area for a job and now her parents and several siblings call Maumee and Holland home.

The app also offers course and parking maps, Expo information and race progress updates, which can be automatically posted to social media.

“Ninety-eight percent of the app is free, provided by the Glass City Marathon for participants and spectators.

Everything you want to know about the race is in there,” Shelly said.

“You get results within moments of crossing the finish line,” she said. “It’s very instantaneous.”

A 99-cent upgrade called Phone Fun can use the GPS technology in a smartphone to track a runner’s progress. If the runner is carrying his or her phone, a spectator can watch the runner’s progression along the route in real time.

“Some tools are estimators. With this, you’ll see them actually move on the course,” Shelly said.

The tracking feature is also expected to be helpful to relay runners since the app gives a “proximity alert” when a specific runner is nearby, Shelly said.

Another popular feature of the Phone Fun upgrade is the ability to send runners an “audio cheer.”

“There will be thousands of those going out on race day,” she said.

Audio alerts is a new Phone Fun feature debuting during the Glass City Marathon, Shelly said. As runner s cross a timing mat, their phones will announce the mile mark, pace and estimated finish time so they don’t have to look down at their phones, she said.

The Harrises have both run the Glass City Marathon’s half-marathon. They will be at this year’s pre-race Expo, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. April 26 at University of Toledo’s Savage Arena, to answer questions. The Expo is open to the public and will feature more than 40 vendors.

Record registrants

More than 7,000 people are registered for Glass City Marathon events — a record number of participants, said sixth-year Race Director Clint McCormick. The half-marathon and fiveperson marathon relay events have been sold out for weeks, the relay for the first

time. A course change to the final three miles of the half-marathon allowed organizers to increase the number of runners from 2,500 to 3,000. Even with the increase, the half-marathon sold out faster than last year, he said.

McCormick said he’s excited about the new app. Recipients of the text alerts the race has used the past few years often reported delayed delivery, he said.

“Reliability was a big factor and the text messaging was really a one-way communication. The app provides more information at the fingertips of the user,” McCormick said. n MARATHON CONTINUES ON 12

Economic impact

The Glass City Marathon supports several charities, including the Toledo Roadrunners. Last year’s marathon raised between $100,000 and $140,000, McCormick said.

“It’s our signature event of the year,” he said. “It helps us fund all the

other races of the year. So the success of this event is really critical to the events for the rest of the year.”

Personal growth developed through equine therapy

By Lori Dewey

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Riverbend Leadership Solutions was founded on the belief that individuals can achieve a greater sense of self-awareness by interacting with horses.

The Grand Rapids, Ohio-based organization was established in 2013 with the goal of enhancing personal and professional growth in development, leadership and communication skills through equine therapy.

The principal idea behind equine therapy is that horses possess an instinctive ability to mirror those with whom they interact, allowing individuals to develop a better understanding of their leadership and communication styles, said founder and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Equine Assisted Learning (EAGALA)-certified equine specialist Amanda Thompson.

This heightened understanding leads to the enhancement of effective communication and the development of more unified interpersonal and professional relationships, she said.

Thompson said her goal in creating Riverbend Leadership was to help people achieve health, healing and growth.

“I do not heal people; they heal themselves,” Thompson said. “I just provide the environment and the tools they need to heal.”

Thompson grew up riding and showing horses, and developed a love for the animals at a young age. She spent four years in the military on active duty during which time she began to learn to communicate with and tame wild horses.

She realized that she was on to something when she noticed her interactions with the horses strengthened her leadership, communication and interpersonal skills in other areas of her life.

Upon returning to Ohio after her military career, she attended college for business and wrote a business plan for owning and running a horse farm.

She said her grandfather and father helped her to make her dream a reality in 2006 when she bought a farm.

She began by working with horse owners who were having difficulty managing their animals. She was able to assist people in establishing a relationship and communicating with their horses.

Shortly thereafter, she established a nonprofit organization using equine therapy to help abused women and veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

She said the positive results for participants were almost immediately recognizable, with improvement in life impairments in as few as six sessions with the horses.

“Horses will pull out of you not what you think you need to know, but what you really need to know,” said

Sarah Hafner, operations manager of Equine Leadership Solutions.

Currently, the organization’s primary target audience is corporate America. Thompson believes that business executives can learn about their leadership and communication styles by interacting with the horses, and from there they can develop a plan of action.

By identifying how to incorporate what is learned from equine therapy into the work environment, communication and leadership skills are improved and cohesive professional relationships are formed, she said.

Riverbend Leadership also offers equine therapy to people struggling with depression, anxiety and grief issues. Hafner is currently working with several clients on coping with the grief of losing a pet, which she said she finds extremely rewarding.

“The results are outstanding,” Hafner said. “They come in vulnerable and unsure of themselves and leave with a newfound confidence and empowerment.”

The farm currently houses 13 horses, all of which were rescued by Thompson. Besides herself, consistent with the EAGALA model for equine therapy, she also employs Paul Standinger, a therapist.

Together, they form a team with the horses to provide therapeutic programs and workshops to people and businesses within the community.

EAGALA, Thompson’s certifying body, is a nonprofit organization founded in 1999 comprised of more than 4,000 members from 49 different countries.

This association sets the standards of practice for certified equine specialists, with a vision that “every person worldwide will have access to Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Learning Services, provided at the highest standard of excellence,” according to the group’s website.

Thompson hopes to continue to grow her organization and expand her services through community awareness and education. Riverbend Leadership is presently in search of sponsors for their horses in order to continue to provide these therapies.

Cinco de Mayo ‘biggest day of year’ for Mexican eateries

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

It’s Cinco de Mayo all year long for the local Mexican eateries that bear that name — but the day itself is always one of the busiest days of the year, local restaurant managers said.

Cinco de Mayo, which is Spanish for “fifth of May,” is “the biggest weekend of the year,” said Arturo Castro, assistant manager at Cinco De Mayo Mexican Bar & Grill at 304 E. Alexis Road.

The eatery’s annual celebration will be bigger than last year, featuring the return of a jalapeño-eating contest at 5 p.m. May 4 and 5, Castro said.

Also on the calendar is a Tony Orlando revue and Elvis tribute contest 2-5 p.m. May 4 and folkloric dancers at 5 p.m. May 4 and 5. Starting at 4 p.m. May 5, there will be a live band downstairs and DJ and karaoke upstairs. Happy hour, featuring 12-ounce margaritas for $3.75, is 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Carlos Fuentes, owner of La Fiesta Restaurante in Maumee, agreed Cinco de Mayo is “the biggest day of the year.”

The 1406 S. Reynolds Road eatery

will feature a tent in the parking lot on May 5. Pints of draft beer and Mexican bottled beer will be $2.75. Margaritas will also be on special. DJ Excel will perform all night starting at 3 p.m.

The Bradberries will perform at 6 p.m.

There will also be giveaways all day.

“Any day we can give something back to our customers and pay them back what they give to us all year round is a good day,” Fuentes said.

“This is the way I see it — a day you can celebrate with your customers.”

La Fiesta will also host a “warm-up party” May 3 and 4, featuring jumbo margaritas for $6.25 and 23-ounce domestic drafts for $2.99.

“A lot of people think Cinco de Mayo is Independence Day for Mexico, but it’s not,” said El Camino Real owner Jesus Angel. That’s Sept.

16. The May 5 holiday honors a great military victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

The festivities at El Camino Real, 2500 W. Sylvania Ave., will kick off May 2 with “the biggest guacamole ever made,” featuring free guacamole and chips to the first 100 people starting at 3 p.m., Angel said. Guacamole mash will be free to the first 100 people May 4.

The eatery will also feature a jalapeño toreado-eating contests on May 2, 3 and 5, burrito-eating contests on May 3 and 5 and a taco-eating contest on May 4. Folkloric dancers and a mariachi band will perform May 3. May 4 will feature $1 off drinks. May 5 will also feature a variety of DJs from local

radio stations and plenty of giveaways all weekend, Angel said.

El Vaquero — with locations at The Docks, on Secor Road and in Perrysburg — will feature “five days of fun” starting May 1, said general manager Arne Lopez. There will be live DJs broadcasting on 101.5 The River from

all three locations on May 5.

Specials include all Mexican beers, buckets of beer and pitchers of margaritas.

“It’s a party,” Lopez said. “It’s going to be a great day for a deal.” n CINCO CONTINUES ON 20

Jeanie Kunzer, owner of Loma Linda, is excited because Cinco de Mayo falls on the Swanton eatery’s Margarita Monday this year.

“You know what happens when Cinco de Mayo finally falls on Margarita Monday — margaritas on special, beer specials, food specials, entertainment and fun on the patio!” Kunzer said.

Kunzer’s birthday is May 7, so she usually makes Cinco de Mayo a weeklong celebration.

May 2 and 3 will feature a live mariachi band at Loma Linda. There will also be a live band May 5.

The family-owned eatery, at 10400 Airport Hwy., has been in business since 1955 and was the first Mexican restaurant in Toledo. The eatery will celebrate its 59th year in business June 9.

“Cinco de Mayo is a big one, but our anniversary will be even bigger yet,” Kunzer said.

Jam City returns May 22 to aid Food for Thought

By Jay Hathaway

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

It’s peanut butter and jelly time.

Toledo nonprofit Food for Thought is hosting the second annual Jam City at the Secor Ballroom, 425 Jefferson Ave., from 6-9 p.m. May 22. Tickets are $30.

At Jam City, the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich is given a variety of unique makeovers by some of Toledo’s top chefs to raise money to feed Toledoans in need.

Food for Thought started with a free sack lunch program, and quickly expanded to encompass an Oregon food pantry as well as two mobile pantries. Chief Thought Officer Sam Melden explained that last year they decided to try out a new idea.

“We said, ‘What if we get a bunch of chefs together and they put their spin on the peanut butter and jelly sandwich?’” Melden said. “The idea was born, and we ran with it.”

And so, Jam City was launched.

Twelve local restaurants were involved, and the event nearly reached its goal of raising $10,000.

“Our event sold out online before the doors even opened,” Melden said.

For its second year, Jam City boasts offerings from 16 restaurants and bars, ranging from classic American fare to Asian fusion, Mexican and Italian.

A new dessert category will be featured, as well.

Melden said the diversity offers tasters a unique experience that goes well beyond the traditional PB&J. “[For example], last year, El Tipico did a habanero peanut butter salsa, and it was just amazing.”

In addition to the tasting, two raffle drawings will take place. Winners will receive a $50 gift card from each restaurant involved with Jam City, an $800 value. Tickets for the raffle are $10, and may be purchased from the Food for Thought website. Attendance at Jam City is not required to win.

Melden added that live music is also one of the things that makes Jam City a great time.

This year’s lineup features Andrew Ellis, Dean Tartaglia (of Silent Lions) and Nathan Roberts & The New Birds.

Melden said the participation of the restaurants is what drives the success of the event, and transcends just supplying food.

“So many of our restaurants are not just in the event, but they are really partners with our organization, and I feel like there is something to be said for that.”

Tickets for the event and the raffle are available at www.feedtoledo.org/ jamcity. Toledo Free Press is a media sponsor of Jam City. O

Local religion news website to lose funding

By Tom Konecny

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer star@toledofreepress.com

ToledoFAVS.com — a local website covering area religious news — learned that its funding ends May 31, forcing a change in its business model

and approach.

The Lilly Endowment, based in Indianapolis, had guaranteed three years of funding to ToledoFAVS in 2011, one of five community-based regional hub sites for Religion News Service of Columbia, Mo. However, ToledoFAVS wasn’t launched until summer 2012, at

which point the three-year grant clock had already been ticking.

“I was guaranteed three years of funding, and [believed] we’d likely get another three years, but then I’d have to be self-sustaining,” said David Yonke, ToledoFAVS editor and community manager. The additional three years of

“We are your neighbors, friends and family. Our kids play together.We listen when you are sad, mad and happy — and when you are hungry, we feed you and your family the food that we made with our own two hands.When you are thirsty, we are the first to sit and share a pint and laugh along with you or just offer company. And at the end of the day, we watch the same sunset from the same view.We are local.” – Tony Bilancini, Owner of Swig Restaurant

funding did not pan out. “After May 31, I don’t have any income unless it’s by donation. I’m going to continue it, but I’m not going to be able to devote as much time to it.

“We were not guaranteed another three years, but there were a lot of indications that we would get another three years. So, I would say it was a surprise,” Yonke said.

Religion News Service Publisher Debra L. Mason indicated in a statement that the original business model was flawed from the start.

“The business model previously relied heavily on grant funds to launch FAVS as a startup,” Mason said. “Unfortunately, the business model we relied upon (which was adapted from Knight Foundation-funded research) overestimated the amount of revenue we could raise via donors and advertising. As a result, our overall budget going forward needed to be cut.”

Under the new business model, Yonke will become a contractor for ToledoFAVS as of June 1.

The site was conceived as a gathering place for nonsectarian coverage of faith and values news (hence FAVS) for Northwest Ohio. Readers embraced the site, generating 20,000 hits per month, second highest among the five hub sites nationwide.

“It will look the same, but right now I’m updating it five times a day,” Yonke said. “That may go to twice a day, depending on how much I get from volunteers. Right now I write four to five stories a week, but that may go down to one a week. We’ve published 2,800 stories since the inception of the site, and with blogs as well, maybe 3,000 stories in 21 months.”

Religion News Service offered

nothing but praise for Yonke and ToledoFAVS. Its stories have appeared regularly in Toledo Free Press.

“It was a real pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with David Yonke and the Toledo community,” said Tiffany McCallen, national community manager for Religion News Service. “It has been obvious to me from the YONKE beginning that David is a true treasure in his community, a notion that was reflected in the area’s willingness to heartily engage with ToledoFAVS as readers, writers, event-goers and supporters. I have no doubt the community will continue to embrace ToledoFAVS in its new form.”

At least two of the five regional hub sites will cease operation. Yonke hopes to find new funding somewhere, but is not counting on it.

“I don’t think religious leaders know,” Yonke said. “I haven’t tried to really rally the troops, so I don’t think people are aware of it. There’s been some outpouring of support, mostly from regular visitors.

I don’t expect to bring in enough money to make it self-sustaining in a month, but maybe in the long term we can build it up and bring in some revenue. It all depends. If some funding does come in, I have big plans for it.

“We would love nothing more than for the community to support this site; that’s in fact what is needed,” Mason said.

Those interested in assisting ToledoFAVS.com through financial or in-kind gifts, can contact Yonke at David.Yonke@ReligionNews.com, or (419) 346-1007. O

DC launches new weekly series on Free Comic Book Day

C

omic book fans have paused in collective wonder over DC Comics’ recent launch of a new weekly series and announcements of two more on the way. The venerable comic book house has taken a clear back seat to rival Marvel Comics during the past several years, but an infusion of weekly publishing projects brings some excitement to readers who may have fallen away from the company Jim after the 2011 revamping of its entire line.

Batman Eternal purports to celebrate the Dark Knight’s 75th anniversary with a published weekly title that began earlier this month and whose story encompasses the entire universe of Batman characters. In its first few installments, stalwart Commissioner Jim Gordon’s been accused of the deaths of several Gothamites after derailing a subway train during a perp takedown. Batman’s on the case, though, and heroes like Batwoman, Red Robin, Batgirl and others will

join in the investigation soon.

On May 3, which happens to be Free Comic Book Day, the weekly called The New 52: Futures End begins. Its narrative jumps readers five years into a possible future of the DC Universe and the aftermath of a war with an alternate Earth. The central character is Batman Beyond, the hero of the animated TV series of the same name.

The crux of the title rests upon skewed versions of classic DC characters, and the company claims the story will “forever alter the direction of the New 52.”

Then, in October, DC launches Earth 2: World’s End, which also concerns an alternate Earth, this one a nod to the publisher’s properties from the 1940s. Few details have been released on the series, but teaser artwork for it indicates more apocalyptic goings-on.

Weekly comic book series are not easy to produce. In an age when monthly titles — the industry standard for decades — are late to the

BEARD

COMICS RACK

shelves on a regular basis, a weekly series seems a foolhardy gamble.

Comic companies must maintain a strict schedule on weeklies and

by utilizing numerous writers and artists they create backup protocols should any part of the machine fail.

DC had a major hit with its 2006

weekly opus, 52, but has never truly matched it since. Maybe 2014 will put it back on the hit parade — and on schedule. O

MaryJoanna Grisso’s mother, a music teacher, often played music from “West Side Story” when Grisso was a child, which exposed her to the songs she is performing today as Maria.

“I grew up loving this musical,” Grisso said.

“It was something that I always wanted to be in.

It’s such a classical GRISSO piece of theater and it’s such an incredible story, an incredible message and a lot of people can relate to it.”

Locals can catch her performance when “West Side Story” dances into the Stranahan Theater on May 1. The show will be in town for one weekend only, showing at 8 p.m. May 1; 8 p.m. May 2; 2 and 8 p.m. May 3; and 2 and 7 p.m.

May 4. The show runs for two hours and 30 minutes with a 20-minute intermission. Tickets can be purchased online at theaterleague.com.

Grisso, who thinks the show is one of the best of Broadway, said the production is timeless.

‘West Side Story’ will be in Toledo for one weekend.

“It’s such a relatable story; it’s the Romeo and Juliet story,” Grisso said.

“So many people deal with that in their lives, and racism and bigotry all still exist. … I think that’s why it’s still relevant.”

A number of things attracted Grisso to the role of Maria, but she mostly admires the growth of her character throughout the show.

“She is a very inspiring character to me,” Grisso said. “She grows so much in the show. You see her in the beginning of the show and she’s a young girl and by the end of the show, which is only a matter of two days, she’s forced to grow up very quickly

with the things that she’s dealing with. … For me to do it every day, it’s like I’m learning from this character, which is really spectacular.”

This is Grisso’s second season playing Maria and she said she never gets sick of the character. The most challenging part was the role’s Spanish lines, which Grisso began being coached for as soon as she got the part.

“There’s a little addition of Spanish in this edition, which is great. It adds so much authenticity to these characters,” Grisso said. “So that was one of the things I worked on.”

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com

Entertainment industry event You AudioflAre Got That Star Power set for May 1 recording Studio

By Chase Will

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer star@toledofreepress.com

On May 1, The Mad Ave. Collective will host Holy Toledo: You Got That Star Power, an event that offers anyone aspiring to work in the entertainment industry the opportunity to network with local professionals.

Throughout the five-hour event, over 30 organizations will have information tables listing upcoming casting calls and production gigs. This event will launch the Greater Toledo Film Commission.

“We’re one of the largest metropolitan areas that doesn’t have a film commission,” said Vincent LaMarr Smith, creator of the event. “I’ve been advocating for three to four years to get some energy going toward putting people interested in the industry together.”

Smith said the biggest benefit of attending the event is the human element of meeting face-to-face with professionals who live in the immediate area.

“I’ve been producing films for the Syfy channel, LifeThe BrianMatters time channel and for theatrical releases for about eight Challenge years, ” said Rich Iott,Run: co-creator of the event. “One major benefit is realizing there are a lot of people in Toledo inA RACE FOR CHANGE RUN/WALK volved in the film industry in a big way. They live in and work from Toledo, but may be involved in projects in LA Saturday, May 3, 2014 or Vancouver or wherever. There’s a guy here in Toledo Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. currently producing a film with Salma Hayek, and a lot of Challenge Run starts at 9:00 a.m.

people who may bump into this guy daily may not know he’s traveling back and forth to LA on a regular basis.”

Smith and Iott successfully hosted a similar gathering 18 months ago. The upcoming event, however, has been expanded to welcome all areas of the industry.

“We think Toledo could be successful at attracting larger-scale projects. It’s inexpensive, easy to navigate and we have just about any scenery you could ask for short of mountains. And everything’s within 20 minutes traveling distance,” Iott said. “There are also tons of great screenwriters in the Toledo area. Some of their work, which gets stumbled upon, has been used as a basis for production on the Lifetime channel. There’s a lot of underexposed talent in the city.”

“There will likely be many people at the event who are looking to produce or invest in new projects,” Smith said. “For a little guy who may be an actor or actress or director, you’re going to be able to mingle with these people and possibly launch your career.”

Recent success stories of Toledoans in the film industry include Glass City Films, which just acquired international distribution for an upcoming film, and Charissa Gracyk and Gillian Perdeau, cousins living in the LA area who are currently shooting “Holy Toledo,” a film about Prohibition-era Toledo.

Casting for modeling and acting jobs will also take place at the event, so headshots and résumés are recommended.

The Mad Ave. Collective is located at 1600 Madison Ave. The event will take place on the second floor beginning at 9 a.m. For more information, visit www.madisonave collective.com or contact Smith at (567) 868-2994. O

CARLSON’S CRITTERS

A home for Eddie, Haney

Eddie is an 8-year-old male wire haired Jack Russell Terrier. The Toledo Area Humane Society (TAHS) took him in after his owner passed away. Eddie is searching for a quiet home with an owner who enjoys taking short walks, lounging on the couch and spoiling little dogs. Eddie is independent by nature. You can tell that he’s missing his owner and doesn’t quite understand why he is at the shelter rather than at home.

Eddie has recently found comfort in new friends that he made while visiting nursing homes. Eddie is neutered, examined by a TAHS veterinarian, is current on his vaccinations and is microchipped.

Haney is a 1-year-old male orange shorthair. He is full of energy and always on the go. Haney’s dream home would have lots of toys, places to climb and hide and some new best friends who love to play as much as he does. The Humane Society took in Haney after his owner was evicted, leaving no place for Haney to live.

Haney is one spunky kitty. He is neutered, examined by a TAHS staff veterinarian, is current on his vaccinations and microchipped.

Eddie

Haney TAHS is located at 1920 Indian Wood Circle, Arrowhead Park, Maumee. Adoption hours are noon to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
