Downtown Toledo, RIP

by Johnny Hildo

Top Docs ES AGENCI ALPHA PAR KING

And now, the inevitable decline.

Downtown revitalization seemed so promising. We have detailed all the good things happening over the past several years right here in these column inches. We have applauded the successes and named names of those responsible. We have also noted the laggards and the impediments.

We have opined on what it would take to boost the momentum to a new level. Never have we warned of a slide toward catastrophe.

Until now. All good things must end, or so they say. But we never would have predicted it would come to an end this fast.

2. Alphabet city. DTID (Downtown Improvement Corporation).

DTDC (Downtown Development Corporation). PAC (Parking Advisory Committee). And now a new proposal for some unpronounceable string of letters to control parking downtown. DRPLIAC, or some such nonsense, which sounds like a pharmaceutical that induces vomiting.

Behind every one of these acronyms is another executive director, another board, another fiefdom with a cloistered agenda for downtown. The money flows into them, and never the twain shall meet.

What is needed is one unified vision for downtown. One agenda. One timeline, one budget, one set of strategic priorities, one group held accountable for enacting it.

Instead we have a mishmash of letters. Alphabet soup. With little accomplished other than draining cash into some executive directors’ pockets..

3. Out to lunch. And then there’s much ado about parking. Just as Downtown gets going, some chuckleheads have decided expanding the hours of parking meter enforcement and eliminating free parking at lunch is a good idea.

No one with a brain agrees. Everyone supports free lunchtime parking.

Patrons don’t want a change, and neither do downtown business owners.

Sorta begs the question. Who exactly does want it?

The Kapszukiewicz Administration, apparently. They proposed the bad idea to Council and are pushing a full speed ahead approach.

As lunch spots start to fail, and the alphabet soup-types flail and flounder, we need cool-headed leadership. Instead we get a vision of gung-ho meter maids.

Only Toledo City Council stands in the way of a disaster.

We hate to say it, but we gotta say it.

We’re doomed.

HEALTHY ADVICE FROM TOLEDO PROS

Here are the signs of the coming Downtown apocalypse.

1. The death of Potbelly. We have noted regularly that only value-added industries like manufacturing grow wealth. Entertainment and service only spreads it around. And without a growing population, it can get spread too thin.

Enter Downtown Toledo. The revitalization has been spurred by sports and entertainment venues, restaurants, and bars. Bringing Promedica downtown increases the captive patrons for these venues during the daytime, but not enough to sustain the massive increase in venues over the past year or so.

The growth has been lopsided toward one economic sector, entertainment.

Downtown needs retail and other amenities to bring and keep economic activity there. Until the predicted growth of downtown residency occurs, while commercial space sits empty, and while large building like those on the corners of Huron and Madison languish, there isn’t a big enough entertainment-dollar pie to split again and again.

The closure of Potbelly is the harbinger of growing too fast, too soon. The growth has split the baby in an unsustainable way. Look for more closures to come.

Anti-revitalization party?

Johnny Hildo’s column in the last issue (5-8-19), “Requiem— Downtown Toledo, RIP,” predicted “the coming Downtown apocalypse.” Online commenter ‘Not Again’ shared their thoughts:

The capitalists tried to revitalize Toledo in the form of free market investing. Unfortunately, in Toledo, socialism and cronyism is too strong. The controlling dems will never allow a revitalization of downtown. Frankly, I was surprised that anyone would waste their own money in the attempt.

Professor of Egyptology Dr. Kara Cooney discusses ancient queens in the National Geographic Live presentation “When Women Ruled the World.” This second event in the three-part Nat Geo Live speaker series is an exploration of the strong influence of various queens, despite history books largely ignoring their accomplishments. $5-$25. 7-9pm. Thursday, May 30.

CITY POLITICS Eight was great The ghost of ninety-three

by Johnny Hildo There are lots of anomalies in City Politics. Relics of by-gone days, anachronisms that once may have had a purpose but make no sense in the modern world. Like the County Recorder, a position which made sense when there were two or three literate folks in the Swamp, and only one that knew how to use a fountain pen to record land transfers on those teeny weeny transfer cards.

And then there are district seats on Toledo City Council.

The at-large seats have been much more diverse than the districts in pretty much every way. The only openly gay reps and only Hispanic reps have been elected at-large.

Strong for the district

For most of the last century, Toledo Council was composed solely of at-large seats, elected from across the city. The city executive was a City Manager, appointed to run the day-to-days without pesky political considerations to get in the way. The Mayor was mostly a figure head and tie-breaking vote if Council deadlocked.

That changed when a few ambitious zealots decided Toledo needed a Strong Mayor form of guvmint. This necessitated a change to the City Charter, approved by the electorate and put into place for the election in nineteen ninetythree. The Strong Mayor would be the new city executive, elected directly by a

6

vote of the people. We hesitate to add, the driving force behind the change, and the first Strong Mayor, was He Who Shall Not Be Named.

At the same time, the structure of City Council was altered dramatically.

Gone was the eight-seat at-large council, with the Mayor as the ninth vote to break ties. Instead, there would be twelve council seats, with six at-large and six from newly created districts.

The districts were drawn to ensure diverse representation. Now, over a quarter of a century later, we can ask the big question. Are the district seats an anomaly that should be sent to the dustbin of history?

On one hand, the district seats have ensured representation from across the city. One only need look as far as Toledo School Board to see the danger of an all at-large body. The Board is completely filled by South Enders.

On the other hand, the history of atlarge representation on City Council tells a different story. There have been at-large council reps from South Toledo, East Toledo, West Toledo, and the Central City since ninety-three. So the districts haven’t been needed to ensure geographic diversity.

Diversity at-large

In fact, the at-large seats have been much more diverse than the districts in pretty much every way. The only openly gay reps and only Hispanic reps have been elected at-large. There have been men and women elected at-large.

The current at-large contingent is composed of African-Americans and Caucasians alike. There is diversity of ideology, from progressive to conservative.

There is diversity of age and of income.

So what? The history of at-large members since the change shows districts aren’t necessary to ensure diversity. That’s not a reason to eliminate the districts. Are there problems caused by district representation?

Unfortunately, districts have all-toooften led to district members who think in overly parochial ways, privileging what they believe to be the good of their

May 22 • June 4

fiefdom over the general good of the City. They have led to squabbling over resources and cutting those resources thin to make sure everyone gets a slice.

They have led to zoning decisions deferred to district reps rather than made for the common good.

There was a movement about a decade ago to reduce the number of council members to nine. It would have eliminated at-large representation altogether, with six districts and three “super-districts” composed of two each of the smaller districts.

Proponents called it “nine is fine.” It failed at the ballot box.

Perhaps the structure of council needs another fresh look. Perhaps we should return to a completely atlarge council, composed of folks with a broader vision for the city as a whole.

Perhaps the seats could be fewer in number. Perhaps that would allow for an increase in salaries for council, and lead to candidates who can do the job full-time.

Perhaps. After all, it couldn’t be worse than the gridlock we often have now.

This is the year district seats are up for election. After this, we have four more years before the seats come around again, which means four years to decide.. What structure of City Council would best serve the City?

Plastic Problems

W

e are drowning in plastics, including one-time use plastics, used once then thrown into the trash.

Take-out containers, beverage bottles, plastic utensils, grocery store bags, sandwich bags and wrap — “single-use” plastic is ubiquitous, and we’re throwing it away by the truckload, to lie in landfills for countless years, as it does not biodegrade.

This single-use plastic litters our cities and roadways and finds its way into our waters – including Lake Erie.

Plastic waste and its extreme abundance worldwide, has been in the news recently. Last year, National Geographic magazine published a series entitled

“Planet or Plastic?” bringing to the fore our human choice, staking a commitment either to our planet or to our addiction to convenient plastics. The article noted that since the making of plastic began around 1950, we’ve amassed about 6.9 billion tons of plastic trash. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, America generated 34.5 million tons of plastic in 2015 and we only recycle about 9 percent of it, 15 percent of it is burned to produce energy, while the rest of it ends up in landfills. Now, more and more, people are talking about reducing plastic use, banning plastic bags, and considering bans on “single-use plastics.”

Banning the bag

By David Maxwell Fine

California banned plastic grocery bags in 2016 and New York State more recently passed a law banning those plastic bags. Cities and municipalities around the country, and in Ohio, are considering laws banning or imposing a tax on plastic bags.

The City of Bowling Green is currently considering a ban on plastic bags advocated by a local green activist.

City Councilman John Zanfardino, a member of the committee that will vote on sending the proposed ordinance to the full council, supports the move. “The goal for me is to have more people use reusable bags,” he said, “anything that’s single use is a selfish use of the earth’s resources,” Zanfardino spoke to a class at BGSU and students have attended the city’s public hearings about banning plastic bags. “Millennials are more concerned and desirous of strong measures to address the environment,” he added.

There is opposition to the idea, however, with some business owners threatening to move their operations if the ban is enacted.

Since the making of plastic began around 1950, we’ve amassed about 6.9 billion tons of plastic trash.

Particles in the lakes

Meanwhile, Lake Erie and the Great Lakes suffer from considerable plastic pollution. A research group led by Dr. Sherri Mason of Penn State Behrend College has found large quantities of small pieces of plastic in Lake Erie - 46,000 plastic particles per square kilometer. Much of the plastic waste in Lake Erie are tiny particles, less than 5 millimeters in size. The small size is likely because plastics do break down when exposed to sunlight. The research group also looked at 25 species of fish, and

May 22 • June 4

America generated 34.5 million tons of plastic in 2015 each fish had between 5 to 20 particles of plastic in its body. “I implore people to think about their daily habits and find ways to reduce their use of plastics,” Dr. Mason said, “I’m not anti-plastic, I’m anti single-use plastic because that’s really where the issue is.”

Out of concern for our lakes and rivers, where we obtain much of our drinking and bathing water, in 2015 the U.S. Congress passed, and President Obama signed into law, the “Microbead-Free Waters Act” which banned body washes and other personal care products from containing plastic “microbeads”, products which sent large quantities of small plastic particles down the drain into our waterways.

“I am aware of the impact of singleuse plastics. I encourage Toledoans to exchange single-use plastics for compostable or recyclable alternatives,” Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said in a statement, “It is also important for all Toledoans to recycle as much as possible and to recycle correctly. The City of Toledo is committed to the health of Lake Erie. The reduction of single-use plastics will only add to our commitment to keeping Lake Erie clean and clear of pollution.”

www.toledocitypaper.com

Given the plastic problem’s ubiquitous presence, Toledo City Paper asked some Toledoans to share their thoughts and their personal plastic habits.

Sandy Spang

Mike Ferner

At-Large Member City Council and Owner of Plate One and Plate 21 Cafes

Coordinator, Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie Do you think Toledoans throw away and litter too much plastic? Yes, just like everybody else in the U.S. Did you know there is a lot of plastic in all of the Great Lakes, including Lake Erie? Your thoughts about this? It’s a sad consequence of what happens when we treat nature like property instead of regarding our natural resources as having the same rights as human beings… We trash it.

What do you think about our habit of using a plastic bottle or straw for 5 to 10 minutes and then throwing it in the trash? It’s simply deplorable. The industry should never have been allowed to proliferate plastic “everything” to the point it has today. If we actually had a democracy, I doubt people would have allowed it.

Kent Bekker Chief Mission Officer, Toledo Zoo

Do you think Toledoans throw away too much plastic? In general, society as a whole uses way to much plastic and never really considers where plastic ultimately has to end up. I don’t know if Toledo is any different than the larger region around it. We’ve got a product that is incredibly cheap and easy to make. It’s the way we consume plastic that’s entirely wrong.

Did you know there is a lot of plastic in all of the Great Lakes, including Lake Erie?

Your thoughts about this? Yes, I did. You know I’ve had the opportunity to attend a lot of workshops and seminars on the health of Lake Erie. I’m also aware of the amount of plastic that is found in the oceans, the oceans’ inhabitants, as well as in our own human bodies. I think the first piece is to educate people, that is always the first line of defense, is having people who care deeply. We know that our residents care deeply about the health of Lake Erie. Something we can do is make sure that we are being good stewards of our own consumption.

How would you describe your plastic habits at home? We use very little plastic at home. We are recyclers. We’ve had a lot of concern locally about the fact that our recycling program costs the city a great deal of money because it is often contaminated by products that can’t be recycled... I just feel good about storing food in glass, we use a lot of mason jars, use a lot of Pyrex. Here in my cafes – Plate One and Plate 21 - we try to use as little plastic as possible.

Tina Skeldon Wozniak

Lucas County Commissioner and President

Did you know there is plastic in all of the Great Lakes, including Lake Erie? Your thoughts about this? Yes. We don’t appreciate how small and insidious [plastic can become and] remain in the environment. We need to do whatever we can to reduce the amount of single-use plastic we consume. Grocery bags, beverage containers, if everyone would make an effort to reduce using those kinds of things it certainly is going to help.

Louise Schlatter

Principal Master Architect involved with sustainability initiatives, SSOE Group Did you know there is a lot of plastic in all of the Great Lakes, including Lake Erie? Your thoughts about this? It’s easy to believe. Back when I was much younger, we were not talking about plastic, we were talking about PCBs. That was just another form of assuming that the lake is just going to take care of it or it’s going to be somebody else’s problem. We keep learning that the things we ignore and throw away come back to us one way or another. So, I’m not surprised that there’s plastic in the great lakes. I do think that we should be very careful that it doesn’t [get worse]. It will get into the food stream, it will impact our ability to clean the water, and drink it, and use it for other purposes.

Some cities and states are considering banning plastic bags. Do you think the City of Toledo or the State of Ohio should do something to reduce single-use plastic trash, like ban plastic bags, or ban all singleuse plastics? I think that that is worthy of serious consideration. But if you’re going to do that what is the offset? I think that simple banning isn’t going to be the solution. If you are going to ban single-use bags you have to offer people an [alternative]. It may mean we go back to paper bags, which biodegrade easily. And in other countries, they make you pay for the bags. I think that actually might be a prospective solution. I was in Germany, France and Spain and I did have to pay for bags. [The cost of the bags] varied between anywhere from 10 cents to a Euro [about $1 US dollar].

Did you know there is a lot of plastic in all of the Great Lakes, including Lake Erie? Your thoughts about it? Yes. The contamination of our lakes and streams is a serious issue. Plastic is ingested by fish, birds and other wildlife. Not only can plastic kill them, but it can cause harm to people who eat the fish taken from Lake Erie. Microplastics are the more specific issue of small plastic particles (like those found in some exfoliating face cleansers) ending up in our waterways.

Some cities and states are considering banning plastic bags. Do you think the City of Toledo or the State of Ohio should do something to reduce single-use plastic trash, like ban plastic bags, or ban all single-use plastics? A ban can be an effective way to reduce single-use plastic. Grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops and bars are places that can really make a difference in reducing the use of plastic bags, utensils, cups, and other items. Some grocery stores do not offer plastic bags at all, and some local coffee shops offer discounts if you bring a reusable mug.

Monika Perry Co-Chair Lucas County Green Party

Do you think Toledoans throw away and litter too much plastic? I think that it’s more of a systemic problem. When you buy food and carry out it’s going to come with plastic packaging and silverware.

Consumers should be more aware of the plastic they are using. Single-use plastic is overused but the responsibility is on large corporations and businesses that choose to use single-use plastic rather than reusable and compostable products.

Did you know there is a lot of plastic in all of the Great Lakes, including Lake Erie? Yes. I think it’s a terrible problem that needs to be stopped.

We need to ban single-use plastics. [Consider creating] a policy where we tax businesses that choose to use single-use plastics, and a credit to businesses that use biodegradable or more reusable packaging or utensils.

Earth to Oven Bakery & Cafe Organic and local in Sylvania

By Athena Cocoves

At the City Paper offices, typical lunches come in two basic forms: an unsatisfying, and often too late in the day, granola bar quickly devoured over the keyboard, or a noon-time gluttonous feast followed by an unproductive afternoon. Sure, we could #mealprep and bring a healthy, satisfying and nutritious lunch, appropriately sized, from home. But we don’t. Recently, we switched up our lunchtime habits with a trip to Sylvania’s Earth to Oven.

Growing the business

Before Earth to Oven opened as a brickand-mortar, owner Veronica Vincent, a former Zingerman’s baker, and her mother, Lori, began the business in 2011, working out of their home, providing catering and sales at farmers market booths. In 2014, the duo moved into their current Haymarket Square space.

Most recently, Veronica formed a partnership with Allstate Insurance agent JamiLynn Fox, and briefly closed the bakery before reopening to debut changes, including a repainted dining room, a coffee bar featuring Flying Rhino coffees, a bread case, refrigerated pastry display cases and a gorgeous patio. Continuing a commitment to sustainability, the kitchen was made more efficient and the use of plastic products was eliminated.

Lunchtime favorites

Before settling on our orders, we surveyed the menu of salads, sandwiches (served on crusty Zingerman’s bread), rotating soup offerings (with cold soups available June through September), seasonal options (such as fish tacos) and looked over the cases displaying salads, quiches and baked goods.

The BLT ($8.99), made with housemade caramelized Applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and spicy mayo, is referred to as “famous” on Earth to Oven’s menu. We didn’t need to see the citation. The sweetness of the chewy thickcut bacon balances with the spicy mayo and the addition of generous chunks of avocado give the classic a contemporary

twist. For those seeking more protein, try “The McNulty” ($9.79), a version of the BLT with roasted turkey breast and cheese.

Next, the Honey Bird ($8.69) which has all the best trappings of a Thanksgivingleftovers style meal, but with a satiating spin. The housemade honey mustard is balanced with the cranberry chutney’s sweet, yet tart, flavor served with a nice portion of roasted turkey breast, fresh spinach and Havarti cheese. The perfect amount for a healthy midday lunch, which is not to say that we kept things completely healthy, however.

Sweet, and savory, options

We rounded out our meal by trying a few items from the tempting bakery cases, which feature cookies, pies, quiches, French Macaroons, tarts, eclairs and more. Faced with this sweet dilemma, our group chose to try a little bit of everything.

The mini quiche Lorraine ($4.50), featuring a thick, flakey butter crust, that fantastic bacon and sharp cheddar cheese, was a sumptuous choice. We continued the “mini” route by opting to share a mini cherry cheesecake, not-too-sweet, dense and very satisfying.

In addition to catering options, Earth to Oven carries bread from Zingerman’s Bakehouse in Ann Arbor, available at day-old prices, often discounted by 35-40 percent. Customers can place pre-orders for Zingerman’s loaves, which are picked up on Wednesdays and Fridays.

The final bite

The spring and summer menu at the Toledo Museum Cafe was recently released, featuring delicious fare like BBQ pork with handmade gnocchi, green goddess sandwiches, smoked carrot soup and mini cheeseburgers for the kids. The Cafe’s chef, Joe Felix, said that “the seasonal menu gives the Museum Café a great opportunity to showcase the wonderful vegetables grown right here in the Chef’s Garden.”

Check out the full menu on the TMA website. Tuesday-Wednesday. 10am-3pm. Thursday-Friday.

Musical con artist comedy at The Toledo Rep

By Jeff McGinnis The main characters of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels are, by any objective measure, bad guys. Criminals. Con artists.

Charlatans. But there’s something oddly... lovable about them. You don’t hate them, even as they swindle people out of their cash. But you don’t exactly root for them, either. You’re just glad you get to spend time watching— and laughing at— them.

Toledo audiences will get a chance to spend a few hours with the characters of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels beginning May 31 with a production of the Broadway musical at the Toledo Rep. Directed by Debra Ross Calabrese, the show will transport audiences to the French Riviera to watch its leads compete in an effort to prove who is the best at hustling.

“They’re swindlers, and they’re trying to swindle an American heiress out of $50,000,” Calabrese said. “And there’s a very suave and debonair, educated con man named Lawrence, and there’s a— for lack of a better term— less refined con man, an American whose name is Freddy. He’s like smalltime at everything.”

Give them what they want

Based on the 1988 movie starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine— which was in turn based on a 1964 movie starring Marlon Brando and David Niven— the musical version made its debut on Broadway in 2005 with John Lithgow and Norbert Leo Butz in the lead roles. (Butz won a Tony for his performance.) While most of the show remains faithful to the 1988 film’s plot, it also takes a chance to expand upon it.

“They go into more depth on some of the other characters, which really rounds out things,” Calabrese said.

“They really took Lawrence’s righthand man, who is the French police chief, and they give him a great background and you see a lot of things happen with him, also, where you didn’t really see that as much in the movie.”

One of the most distinctive facets of the musical version of this material is, well, the music— full to the brim with bouncy, jazzy tunes and genuinely witty lyrics. The score was written by David Yazbek, a Tony-award winning composer who also wrote the music and lyrics for musicals like The Full Monty and a new Broadway version of Tootsie.

(L-R) Eric Hillenbrand, Katelyn Lesle and David Daniel Smith star in the Rep’s production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. “I have an outstanding cast who fit the roles perfectly and are just a joy to work with,” said Debra Calabrese. PHOTO CREDIT: DEBRA CALABRESE. “I also choreograph, so I always appreciate the big dance numbers,” Calabrese said. “The music is one of those things— a lot of people may not have heard about this musical, but I promise when you walk out you’ll start humming a lot of the songs. They’re very catchy, you can really relate to them right away.”

A dashing stranger hops off a train in a sleepy Midwestern town with musical instruments, uniforms and the promise of organizing a boys band. To the townsfolk, everything seems normal, but the local librarian/piano teacher is suspicious— does this visitor have a song in his heart, or is he simply a con man? A beloved musical and classic story of transformation, The Music Man, hits The Croswell stage in June. $15-$40. June 7-23.

8pm, Thursdays-Saturdays. 2:30pm, Sundays. The Croswell Opera House, 129 E. Maumee St., Adrian, MI. 517-264-7469. croswell.org —AC

Great big stuff

The feel of the show is augmented by the sets, designed by veteran theater designer Paul Wesley Alday, who also crafted the setting for the Rep’s recent production of Fences.

“His sets are gorgeous— of course, it’s the French Riviera. So I’m letting him take care of that side, and they look great. You won’t be disappointed in that,” Calabrese said.

The only disappointment area audiences may have, in fact, comes in the form of the dreaded S-word— spoilers.

As anyone who’s seen the original movie knows, the story has some big twists, and Calabrese hopes everyone has a chance to see the show without those moments being ruined for them.

“Just like the Avenger movie— don’t give it away!” Calabrese said. “Don’t give the ending away, if anything, just come to see the plot twists and the end, because I think you’ll be surprised. It’s just so clever.”

Before Jonie McIntire was a poet, a writer, a tireless advocate for the arts in Toledo and one of the main contributors behind the website ToledoPoet.com, she was a child growing up near Pittsburgh who loved the work of Lewis Carroll.

“The way in ‘The Jabberwocky,’ he would play with words. You get the musicality of words through that, and how silly it could be. It wasn’t just dead white guys talking about daffodils and war. You can kinda say anything,” McIntire said.

McIntire’s affection for the written word came to the forefront as she worked her way through college— first attending university in San Francisco and then, 23 years ago, moving to Toledo to finish. Attending classes, she met fellow poets Kerry Trautman and Adrian Lime (who is now McIntire’s spouse).

Those three would form the nucleus of a poetic community that has endured well past their school days, called the Almeda Street Poetry Co-op.

“We would read at Sam and Andy’s, (a former restaurant) where Manhattan’s is now,” McIntire said. “We read there all the time, and we read with our professors, so we thought we were hot stuff.

And so there was a really strong community going at that time.”

Reconnecting

3302 Glanzman Rd. | Toledo, Ohio | (419) 380-0411

But real life interferes sometimes in artistic dreams. The Almeda Street members went their separate ways, started families, settled down. About ten years ago, they started finding each other again on social media. The group began communicating, expressing interest in new readings and workshops. And

Poets and arts advocate Jonie McIntire gives local writers a space to perform. the members reflected on how difficult it could be to focus the efforts of an artistic community without consistent leadership or a meeting place to gather around.

But what if that gathering place was in cyberspace?

“We got about a dozen poets together and met in June 2014 at Black Kite,” McIntire said. “We talked about the whole concept, how do we know when events are? How do you know who’s a writer, or what to do? If you were coming in from out of town, and you want to go to an event, how would you know (how to find an event)?”

Collaboration

The end result was ToledoPoet.com, a website where area artists can learn of upcoming events and readings, as well as be introduced to new talents in the area. Though first helmed by poet Trina Stolic when launched five years ago, it is a true collaborative effort, mostly curated by the original three poets who met in college all those years ago: Trautman, Lime and McIntire.

“The good and the bad of modern technology is, there are a million ways for people to get in touch with each other, or to learn about things. The bad is, there are a million ways, so which one works, and which one works with whom in particular. That’s why we did the website— it is something people can go to,” McIntire said.

As the site continues to grow and evolve, McIntire said that one of the big signs, in her mind, that it is working is the variety of people they are seeing at area poetry readings these days— new faces, and faces you wouldn’t expect at certain kinds of readings.

“When we go to events, there will be people there who don’t just write in that genre, or in that style. There seems to be some crossing over into different communities, and being supportive of each other.”

Maumee-based Tim Story and German composer-performer Hans-Joachim Roedelius, known as “Achim,” bring a history of collaboration to the TMA stage on Friday, May 24.

“Achim and I both love sound.”

The duo’s sonic collage and electronic exploration

By Steven E. Sloan

1440 Secor Rd. • Toledo OH • 419.469.2467

This simple statement is at the root of the collaborative work between Maumee-based composer-performer, Tim Story, and German composerperformer, Hans-Joachim Roedelius— “Achim” to his friends. On Friday, May 24 in the Toledo Museum of Art’s Little Theater, these celebrated artists will take the stage together, allowing concertgoers to share in their special artistic bond and exploratory spirit. The duo will perform selections from Story’s The Roedelius Cells – a sonic collage comprising shards of Roedelius’ recorded piano outtakes that saw its North American premiere in the TMA’s own GlasSalon and has since found international footholds – as well as excerpts from their 2003 album, Lunz, and some free improvisation.

Impetus for collaboration

This exciting performance is inspired by an excerpt from Cells, which is currently in place alongside Victor Vaserely’s painting Alom I in the TMA’s recently opened exhibition, Everything is Rhythm. “The exhibition was an opportunity to invite some of the performers associated with” the show, says Manager of Programs and Audience Engagement, Scott Boberg.

It’s the first of four such concerts coming to the TMA. Boberg and Story agree that, while one can visit the exhibition before attending the concert, or vice versa, there’s a great deal of value in experiencing them together.

It’s a unique chance to see how your understanding of a piece grows or changes after hearing it in two very different contexts. Boberg points out that, while the recordings in the gallery

May 22 • June 4

are crucial, especially to facilitate the comparison and contrast of the artwork and musical piece, “there’s something magical in a live performance… being in the room with a performer.”

Weaving an experience

That magic pervades Story and Roedelius’ collaboration. The way they sculpt sound and the freedom and rapport of their improvisation— Story describes it as the search of “the right sound” or “the right note”— make it easy to lose oneself in their soundscapes.

“We try to do the work that interests us” says Story. “We try to weave together [composed works and improvisation] into an experience that makes sense and resonates.” What would seem to be a challenge— Cells is an immensely complex work that is virtually impossible to recreate live— Story and Roedelius view as a great opportunity.

Story describes Roedelius as having “an incredible natural ability to find things in live performance,” creating an environment of experimentation and creativity onstage. In the intimate space of the Little Theater concertgoers will experience and become immersed in that alchemy up close.

Scott Boberg sums up the thrill of this concert: Toledo is “an international crossroads for people to come and make music.” Noting that Story resides in the area, Boberg sees the concert as “an opportunity to let people know what Tim is doing right here in town.”

Recordings of the duo’s various works will be available for purchase after the performance. Story and Roedelius will also be signing recordings— both those bought at the concert and those already in concertgoers’ libraries— along with mingling with those who attend the performance.

Friday, May 24 7PM. $16 for nonmembers, $12 for members, $8 for Students and the Military.

TOLEDO ACCORDING TO... glia a t r a T n a e D

Years lived in Toledo: 22 years collectively. I was born in Morristown, NJ. My family moved here when I was three. I went to college at Ohio University, moved back when I turned 22 and have been here since.

Occupation: Publicist for bands. I recently started my own company— Little Star PR. I’m also a working musician. My current group is called ROVR, and in the past, I fronted Secret Space and Silent Lions, along with playing sax in The Sights. I have played with Tenacious D and Coolio.

3

One song lyric to describe myself: “God gave me a funky soul so I USE it” (Scallops Hotel - “Bought My Kid A Highchair”).

Most people know me for: My band Secret Space (RIP).

The best thing I’ve eaten in Toledo: 5th Street Pub, one of the few consistently GREAT spots in town. My whole family and all my close friends love it too.

The street I walk on most often: Main Street in Sylvania. Downtown Sylvania is the most underrated little neighborhood, a working class area— not the yuppie suburbs. Downtown Main Street has been vibrant as of late. I love taking a break during the day and just going on a long walk or run; it vibes with my spirit. I love love love it.

The best time I’ve ever had in Toledo: Getting married to my wife Sara in the middle of Oak Openings. Perfect day.

If I could change one thing about Toledo: The current rut a lot of the creatives seem to be in, feeling like there’s not a lot of opportunity going around. All the different scenes need to start working together more to CREATE more opportunities. The Arts Commission people need to get hip to the weirdo scene. The weirdo scene needs to get hip to the older Adams Street crowd. The rap and rock scenes need to just be one thing at this point (shout out Chris Cali for all the work you put in). I’d love to be one of the people to help bring all these people together, we could really change the vibe around here creatively and do some damage!

1

When I’m craving ice cream I go to Handel’s.

www.toledocitypaper.com

When I’m craving a big salad I go to: Manos.

When I’m craving inspiration I go to The LightHouse Arts Collective on St. Clair St. The Toledoan I admire the most: Rob Seiffert. My brother, my soul, my guide.

What makes me truly feel alive: Creating music day in and day out, then going to perform that music for people.

It’s who I am in my purest form. Everything else just slips away. I need more of that in my life.

Toledoan I’d like to get coffee with: If there’s anyone who’s seen ME in passing and would like to get coffee, let’s make it happen!

2

The hardest decision I’ve made the past year: Going all in on my PR company. Performing will always be my first passion, but it was time for a paradigm shift and a lot of gritty hard work. It is absolutely making me a better person.

3

I could sum up my personal style in these five words: Everything I own is thrifted (shout out to House of Dow).

The type of garment I have the most of: Long trench coats I wish more people knew me for: My new band ROVR... though we’re just getting started and have a long way to go.

We’ll get there.

Week of May 23

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If there were a Hall of Fame for writers, Shakespeare might have been voted in first. His work is regarded as a pinnacle of intellectual brilliance. And yet here’s a fun fact: The Bard quoted well over a thousand passages from the Bible. Can you imagine a modern author being taken seriously by the literati if he or she frequently invoked such a fundamental religious text? I bring this to your attention so as to encourage you to be Shakespeare-like in the coming weeks. That is, be willing to draw equally from both intellectual and spiritual sources; be a deep thinker who communes with sacred truths; synergize the functions of your discerning mind and your devotional heart.

Š Copyright 2019 Rob Brezsny

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming weeks, I suspect you will have the wisdom to criticize yourself in constructive ways that will at least partially solve a long-standing problem. Hallelujah! I bet you will also understand what to do to eliminate a bad habit by installing a good new habit. Please capitalize on that special knowledge! There’s one further capacity I suspect you’ll have: the saucy ingenuity necessary to alleviate a festering fear. Be audacious!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What standards might we use in evaluating levels of sexual satisfaction? One cruclal measure is the tenderness and respect that partners have for each other. Others include the ability to play and have fun, the freedom to express oneself uninhibitedly, the creative attention devoted to unpredictable foreplay, and the ability to experience fulfilling orgasms. How do you rate your own levels, Taurus? Wherever you may currently fall on the scale, the coming months will be a time when you can accomplish an upgrade. How? Read authors who specialize in the erotic arts. Talk to your partners with increased boldness and clarity.

While meditating, search for clues in the depths.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty,� writes Cancerian author and entrepreneur Timothy Ferriss. He doesn’t do that himself, but rather is quite eager to harvest the perks of dwelling in uncertainty. I presume this aptitude has played a role in his huge success; his books have appeared on bestseller lists and his podcasts have been downloaded more than 300 million times. In telling you this, I’m not encouraging you to embrace the fertile power of uncertainty 24 hours a day and 365 days of every year. But I am urging you to do just that for the next three weeks. There’ll be big payoffs if you do, including rich teachings on the art of happiness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Many eighteenth-century pirates were committed to democracy and equality among their ranks. The camaraderie and fairness and mutual respect that prevailed on pirate ships were markedly different from the oppressive conditions faced by sailors who worked for the navies of sovereign nations. The latter were often pressed into service against their will and had to struggle to collect meager salaries. Tyrannical captains controlled all phases of their lives.

I bring this to your attention, Leo, with the hope that it will inspire you to seek out alternative approaches to rigid and hierarchical systems. Gravitate toward generous organizations that offer you ample freedom and rich alliances. The time is right to ally yourself with emancipatory influences.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t wait around for fate to decide which decisions you should make and what directions you should go. Formulate those decisions yourself, with your willpower fully engaged. Never say, “If it’s meant to be, it will happen.� Rather, resolve to create the outcomes you strongly desire to happen. Do you understand how important this is? You shouldn’t allow anyone else to frame your important questions and define the nature of your problems; you’ve got to do the framing and defining yourself. One more thing: don’t fantasize about the arrival of the “perfect moment.� The perfect moment is whenever you decree it is.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll regularly give yourself to generous, expansive experiences. I hope you’ll think big, funny thoughts and feel spacious, experimental emotions. I hope you’ll get luxurious glimpses of the promise your future holds, and I hope you’ll

May 22 • June 4

visualize yourself embarking on adventures and projects you’ve been too timid or worried to consider before now.

For best results, be eager to utter the word “MORE!� as you meditate on the French phrase “joie de vivre� and the English phrase “a delight in being alive.�

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to *Popular Mechanics* magazine, over three million sunken ships are lying on the bottoms of the world’s oceans. Some of them contain billions of dollars’ worth of precious metals and jewels. Others are crammed with artifacts that would be of great value to historians and archaeologists. And here’s a crazy fact: fewer than one percent of all those potential treasures have been investigated by divers. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I hope it might inspire you to explore your inner world’s equivalent of lost or unknown riches. The astrological omens suggest that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to go searching for them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Some days you need god’s grace,� writes poet Scherezade Siobhan. “On other days: the feral tongue of vintage whiskey and a mouth kissed by fire.� I’m guessing, Sagittarius, that these days you might be inclined to prefer the feral tongue of vintage whiskey and a mouth kissed by fire. But according to my astrological analysis, those flashy phenomena would not motivate you to take the corrective and adaptive measures you actually need. The grace of god—or whatever passes for the grace of god in your world—is the influence that will best help you accomplish what’s necessary. Fortunately, I suspect you know how to call on and make full use of that grace.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn poet William Stafford articulated some advice that I think you need to hear right now.

Please hold it close to your awareness for the next 21 days. “Saying things you do not have to say weakens your talk,� he wrote. “Hearing things you do not need to hear dulls your hearing.� By practicing those protective measures, Capricorn, you will foster and safeguard your mental health. Now here’s another gift from Stafford: “Things you know before you hear them—those are you, those are why you are in the world.�

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Love is an immoderate thing / And can never be content,� declared poet W. B. Yeats. To provide you with an accurate horoscope, I’ll have to argue with that idea a bit. From what I can determine, love will indeed be immoderate in your vicinity during the coming weeks. On the other hand, it’s likely to bring you a high degree of contentment—as long as you’re willing to play along with its immoderateness. Here’s another fun prediction: I suspect that love’s immoderateness, even as it brings you satisfaction, will also inspire you to ask for more from love and expand your capacity for love. And that could lead to even further immoderate and interesting experiments.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will know you are in sweet alignment with cosmic forces if you have an impulse to try a rash adventure, but decide instead to work on fixing a misunderstanding with an ally.

You can be sure you’re acting in accordance with your true intuition if you feel an itch to break stuff, but instead channel your fierce energy into improving conditions at your job. You will be in tune with your soul’s code if you start fantasizing about quitting what you’ve been working on so hard, but instead sit down and give yourself a pep talk to reinvigorate your devotion and commitment.

THE OLD WEST END ASSOCIATION The Old West End Association is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

All donations to the Association are tax-deductible (and always welcome)!

“Dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Old West End.” Our neighbors are dedicated individuals that believe the preservation of our historic homes is vital to the City of Toledo. Proceeds from the O.W.E. Festival help support the following Old West End Association committees: This committee consists of residents whose mission is to safeguard and promote historic preservation within the Old West End; provide historic preservation leadership; work to see that the Historic District Ordinance is adhered to within the district; work to improve rundown, derelict and abandoned properties; promote the enforcement of local laws regarding nuisance properties and negligent landlords; in view of future energy concerns, remain open to ideas regarding the use of new building materials, which will add to the lifespan and viability of these homes, provided they are approved by the Historic District Plan Commission; join with other local historic preservation groups to share ideas and provide a united front in the wake of urban renewal, urban blight and in-filling; extend an outreach to surrounding communities that might want to work with us to help renew their own communities; and provide information about historic preservation work being done in the Old West End and other parts of the city and region.

The purpose of the Annual Neighborhood Beautification and Improvement (NB&I) Grant program is to fund neighborhood projects that further the core values of The Old West End Association (OWEA).

The Agnes Reynolds Jackson Arboretum is a serene two-acre garden spot located at the corner of Robinwood and Delaware Avenues, the former site of St. Luke’s Hospital. It was named in honor of the late Agnes (Aggie) Reynolds Jackson in recognition of her years of devotion and hard work for the Old West End and Toledo. The support of Aggie’s family and the late Dr. Robert Jackson has been invaluable in the development of the Arboretum. In 1985, the Old West End Association acquired this land, once a neighborhood eyesore. Its current beauty is due to the dedication and efforts of many Old West End residents. The park has a registered Butterfly Garden, a Free Herb Garden, flower beds and a sculpture garden that has sandstone carved architectural pieces that were salvaged from torn-down Old West End properties. Trees, bushes and plantings are available for adoption as a memorial or honorarium for a friend or loved one. Commemorative Bricks are also available for purchase. Events include Music in the Park, a concert series performed in the park’s gazebo throughout the summer; an Autumn Market (flea market); a Cookie Walk at the Tours de Noel Christmas Home Tours.

The Education Committee of the Old West End Association provides opportunities for both children and adults to learn more about the cultural diversity of our neighborhood and supports our neighborhood’s educational institutions.

Grants and volunteer help are available to assist educational institutions with programs and/or projects. Currently, we have an Annual Scholarship Award ($1000) for residents in the 43610 and 43620 zip code areas. Any high school or adult student with a 2.5 GPA is eligible.

Join us next Year

Formally the Entrepreneurship Committee, this group provides visibility for neighborhood businesses and OWE individuals to promote their business to the neighborhood by providing contact information and services.

The Jacobs - Sluhan/Mohr Home 2458 Robinwood Ave.

A

In a neighborhood of predominantly frame Victorian homes, this brick example at 2458 Robinwood stands out for its size, unique details and its unusual decorative brickwork. Built in the late 1880s, it still has its original roof finials.

The Cleveland -Hill Home

Witker - BrundageSchulz Home

528 Islington St. This home was first occupied in 1909 by Charles W. Cleveland, a travel agent who by 1910 left to go to Portland, Oregon. This home is considered to be an American Four-square with Colonial Revival details. The Colonial Revival style is the longest lasting of the revival styles, continuing to the present day. The four-square is a truly American type noted for its simple floor plan and ability to make great use of a small city lot.

C

2357 Robinwood Ave. The home at 2357 Robinwood was designed in 1894 by the Toledo firm Mills & Wachter who had just begun their partnership in 1893.

This home is in an eclectic style typical of the period that combines Dutch Colonial, Arts and Crafts and Shingle Style elements to create something unique.

The Breckenridge/ Spitzer/Stranahan/ Seney-Campbell Home 2268 Robinwood Ave.

D

Built in 1893, this house is an example of late Victorian architecture that combines elements from the Shingle and Colonial Revival Styles popular with homeowners at that time. A hallmark of Victorian architecture is the large front porch that graces this house.

The Tillingast/Willys Home

E

2210 Robinwood Ave. This imposing home was designed by the architectural firm of Brown, Burton and Davis of Cincinnati in the Chateauesque style for Alvin Brooks Tillinghast (18531951), at the time the president of the Toledo Licorice Co. The next owner in 1910 was the noted automaker John North Willys (1873-1935) who commissioned noted Toledo architects Mills, Rhines, Bellman & Nordhoff to enlarge and remodel the house.
