Foster the future

For kids who've suffered abuse or neglect, finding a loving foster parent who will care for them can make a lifelong impact. Lucas County Children Services wants to meet the growing need for volunteers who can make this impact on area children by offering free foster care training sessions through November.

Families receive a broad range of support from the agency, including a stipend to use for the child's care, and training to "teach you the skills of parenting a child who has been quite likely abused or neglected, because there are some challenges along the way," says Julie Malkin, public information officer for LCCS. Potential foster parents may be single or married and live in an apartment or modular housing — sexual orientation is not a factor. "We're looking for everyday families, the people that make Toledo great," Malkin says. Training sessions are available Tuesdays and Thursdays September 4 through October 11, from 6-9pm; they're also offered Saturdays from October 13 through November 17, all at the LCCS office at 705 Adams St. "The is the best way that somebody can give back to the community," says Malkin, "because they are helping to play a role in shaping our future." —AO

Innovating a greener future

Local entrepreneur redesigns a shipping industry staple

By Kevin Moore Think of everything you've bought in the last 24 hours. Every one of those items arrived at your local retailer bundled with other goods on a pallet. The global shipping industry relies on pallets, approximately 90% of which are made of wood, most of which only survive an average 1.7 trips. Wooden pallet creation is responsible for one million acres of deforestation annually, a staggering sum that would require up to 40 years of growth to replace. Inventor and Clay High School grad Daniel Wilson has launched a sustainable and ergonomic shipping alternative.

4

"I was working in the shipping and receiving department of Honda's R&D facility in Marysville, Ohio," recalls Wilson. "One day I had to ship a box that was 20" by 20", and all we had was the standard 40" by 48" wooden pallet. It was unnecessarily large for this box. Then, I had the thought, why hasn't anyone made a pallet of adjustable size?"

That unique thought caught the attention of Rick Sayman, Wilson's friend and co-worker at Honda. Last year they founded Capstone Innovations, Inc., a company dedicated to finding "the next innovation" in all forms of products.

In 2012 Capstone released the eco-friendly Fast Lock Pallet. It's engineered entirely within Ohio and manufactured an hour west of Toledo at 20 20 Custom Molded Plastics in Holiday City. Using patented technology in an "adaptable, interlocking pallet system," the pallets are "made of 100% recycled structural foam plastic. That means

we're double green: we're not using any new plastic, and our product is 40% lighter than wooden pallets, reducing its carbon footprint when shipped,” Wilson said.

The Fast Lock Pallet is now available through regional and national industrial and shipping materials distributors.

Judge not, lest ye be judged

Looney tunes at Muni Court

By Johnny Hildo You might think that the one place in T-Town politics that would be august, austere and above the whackadoo world of ruff 'n tumble would be the Toledo Municipal Court. You might think the Muni Court judges are staid, respectable, majestic and sober, and decidedly above the normal political fray.

Yes, you might think that. And of course, you would be wrong.

Judging Amy

First a bit of history. Early this year a memo surfaced detailing disorder in the court, most specifically in an ongoing series of spats between Judge Robert Christiansen and Judge Amy Berling, both Republicans. Berling accused Christiansen of screaming obscenities, including dropping F-bombs, and generally violent behavior.

Christiansen shot back that Berling has a constant prevarication problem. Not to be upstaged, Berling was quoted in response stating that Christiansen should go to his “little quiet place.”

The precise location of said place was not disclosed.

J u d g e Christiansen had come under additional fire for possible excessive absence from the Court. During City Council budget hearings, Councilman D. Michael Collins objected to mounting costs at Muni Court, including over a month of leave taken by Judge Christiansen in 2011 alone.

Christiansen, of course, has an interesting electoral history. Appointed to Muni Court in 1981, then lost election to the seat.

Appointed to Court of Common Pleas in 1983, won election to the seat through 2005.

Ran for Court of Appeals in 2004, lost. Ran for Muni Court in 2005, won with less than fifty percent of the vote because two Democrats split the remainder. Ran for Court of Appeals in 2010, lost. Ran for re-election to the Muni bench in 2011, and despite some unfavorable ratings from the Toledo Bar Association, won. Ran for Court of Appeals in 2012, lost.

The accusations against Berling came from all six of her colleagues, however. A grievance letter they all signed was sent to the Ohio Supreme Court’s disciplinary office, stating fears that Berling is mentally ill and a threat to court employees. The letter called Berling’s behavior “aberrant” and goes on to say, “words come short of describing the effect [of] Judge Berling’s mania” on the functioning of the court.

A memo signed by the six judges as well as Clerk of Courts Vallie Bowman-English was served to all court employees, ordering that “all staff is prohibited from having any

contact and com- m u n i c a - tion with Judge Amy Berling of any kind at all times.”

Pretty stern stuff, indeed. The memo softens a bit, allowing that “the work of the court must get done nonetheless,” so otherwise prohibited communication is allowed “only if they pertain to Judge Berling’s cases.” All such communication must be memorialized in writing. According to the letter, this is mandated so that “she cannot twist what was discussed orally.”

Electile dysfunction

The melee in Muni seemed to have calmed down in the intervening months.

Then late in July Berling released her answering salvo, filing a grievance with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission claiming harassment based on her gender and perceived disability. Meaning folks are treating her funny because they think she’s a nutcase. The fact that one of her colleagues, Judge Michelle Wagner, joined the five male judges in signing the letter, and Bowman-English also signed the memo, makes a gendermixed group accusing her of daffiness.

What to do about Judge Berling? The letter asked the state disciplinary board for assistance, but noted a similar plea in 2007 yielded no results and concludes by saying, “we have tried everything, and are left with no resort.”

Congrats Erik Kynard!

Gold in Rio 2016?

August 22 • September 04

Well, maybe one resort.

Re-enter Judge Christiansen. He has now announced that he will run against Berling in the Muni Court election in 2013 with the intent of knocking her from the bench. Berling is in her third term, having won re-election in 2007 without opposition.

Christiansen says he’ll detail all the reasons she shouldn’t be a judge after this November’s elections are over.

It’s a no-lose proposition for Christiansen. If he wins, his term is reset to 2019. If he loses, he retains his current seat. Of course, having two Republicans in the race should make it easy for a Democrat to benefit from the split vote and win.

Berling says the threat of the ballot box is just another example of Christiansen trying to bully her. With his mixed electoral results, is it a very serious threat?

Berling also contends she is not, in fact, mentally ill.

Lost in all of this are the rights of the accused in Toledo Municipal Court. If you get arrested in Toledo, can you ask for a change of venue?

In the long term, can we stop having unopposed judicial elections? And folks, please take the time to research judicial candidates and vote. Preferably for those playing with a full deck.

A Rob revolution Chef Rob Campbell branches out with a new venture - Revolution Grille

By Alia Orra

When Adam, my waiter at Revolution Grille, presented me with the finish to my marathon meal, he politely declined to remark on my gluttony. By the time he placed the dessert on the table I had already allowed myself a last meal indulgence fit for a condemned inmate — two hours of a steady stream of appetizers and entrees.

But I’d seen the strawberry peach shortcake perched on a cloud of cream float by to surrounding tables, and, with my willpower already in shreds, I placed an order for one to finish my meal.

When it arrived, the circle of shortcake sitting on top was attempting, but failing, to contain what was underneath. Fromscratch whipped cream spilled over in folds; slices of peaches and strawberries soaked in Grand Marnier spread across the bottom, their juices seeping and filling the edges of the plate. Honestly, it looked downright sexy.

It’s one of dozens of riffs on American cuisine from Chef Rob Campbell, the proprietor of Revolution Grille (with backing from area restaurant giant Mainstreet Ventures). He’s a Midwestern chef by way of New England: an Adrian, Michigan native trained at the New England Culinary Institute in Essex Junction, Vermont who was formerly at the helm of Bluewater Grille in Maumee.

His restaurant glows — spotlights shine from above, making every table a stage for his entrees; the menus, iPad-like touch tablets, illuminate diners’ faces as they decide what to order; his bright, open kitchen casts light across the marble bar.

Waiters in long red aprons and black t-shirts scoot between tight spaces, past the chef, who wanders between tables in his white coat, mingling with patrons, not with the air of an eager-to-please entrepreneur, but as a cook ready to relax with his guests after preparing an epic meal.

Hors d’oeuvres are much more exciting when you can nibble in the company of African beasts like elephants, rhinos and hippos. The safari-like evening at the historic African Lodge features a five-course meal, desserts and wine pairings.

Flavor rules

Campbell is from the school of “fat is flavor” — his appreciation for it is everywhere. Shreds of bacon are nestled in the fudge-y frosting spread across a sourdough chocolate cupcake; his braised beef short ribs taste rich and dense; green tomatoes are fried and stacked with layers of bacon (again) and goat cheese. As intense as much of his food is, he’s equally adept at whipping up dishes with a refreshingly light touch. The grilled romaine caesar salad tastes delicious, like a charcoal grill — romaine hearts are grilled and chilled, then placed on top of folds of beef carpaccio. Campbell was formerly the chef at Bluewater Grille, and his time there imparted some creativity with seafood. Lobster five bean salad is tossed together with shaved fennel, garlic, tarragon vinaigrette and white truffle oil. Tender chunks of grilled walleye inside crunchy taco shells made a nearly perfect appetizer.

What Campbell has achieved with his new restaurant is a reflection of the creative burst chef-owned spots

Matt Snyder wants to keep the hopheads happy. That’s why he opened Middle Grounds Market, a new spot inside the Oliver House for hard-to-find beers, along with a great selection of wines and cheeses. “I love the obscure stuff,” Snyder says. “Linking people to cool and hard-to-find products has been a nice challenge.” Snyder earned his expertise in all things fermented at his former haunt, the Beer and Wine Cave, and has used his skills to pump his new venture with all kinds of cool brews. Think wine of the month clubs, winemaker meet and greets, Belgian beers and award-winning cheeses from unlikely places (like Defiance, Ohio’s Canal Junction Farmstead). Great bottles of wine Matt Snyder of Middle Grounds Market start at $8, and while Snyder’s raising the brewing bar, he promises to offer classic six-pack selections, too.

Sweeping it under the rug

Too many vicious crimes against humanity are covered up by powerful organizations to save face. One of those — a stain on our country's military — is the number of rapes among U.S. servicemen and women that are concealed by the powers that be. Invisible War, which screens Saturday, August 25 at the Maumee Indoor Theater, addresses a sick fact: a women soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than to be killed by enemy fire. And our military's response with systematic covers-ups — which continues to ruin the lives of the women in the film — is even more jarring, essentially giving a green light to this behavior.

The undiscovered country

A literature professor once told me that “everyone should spend fifteen minutes a day thinking about Hamlet.” There’s something to that — a reason why Shakespeare’s 400-year-old masterwork is still being read and performed regularly, and also why the Toledo Rep is presenting it this month. Hamlet is one of the cornerstones of Western culture, an epic meditation on justice, family and what it is to be human. And it’s also a hilariously convoluted potboiler, with plenty of scheming, stabbing, snarky wit and long-delayed comeuppance. The Rep’s staging, directed by local theater veteran Matthew Gretzinger, is a chance to see your own community sink its teeth into a tragedy that has transfixed audiences for centuries.

film events Misleading, but in a good way

There are only a few things misleading about the title of the 2011 Academy Award best film contender War Horse. Directed

by Steven Spielberg, it's not a war movie and it’s not about a horse. It’s actually an anti-war movie with a horse used as a device to take us from one side of the conflict to another. The action takes place during World War I behind trench warfare lines, first with British and then German forces and finally amidst French civilians trapped in the battle zone. We get there by following the escapades of Joey the horse, who is conscripted into the British cavalry, captured by the Germans and then ridden off by a pair of youthful deserters onto a French farm.

Examining a dark master

Casual film buffs and true enthusiasts alike will treasure a chance to get a professional tour through the work of one of the key masters of the first century of cinema, as the University of Toledo presents a special online course in the work of Alfred Hitchcock.

This Adult Liberal Studies seminar, taught by Associate Professor of English Robert Turley, will zero in on key works in the auteur's canon, including the classics Rear Window, Psycho and Vertigo (recently named the best film of all time by Sight & Sound). Lectures and discussions will give cinema fans unique insight into an artist who did so much to create the basic vocabulary of the movies we enjoy today.

A Boost of Murals

Art Corner Toledo turns activism into artistry in the UpTown District

by Julian Garcia In early June local artist Mede wanted to bring some life to his beloved city by creating a mural everybody could see and enjoy. He’d heard through friends that the person to contact was Rachel Richardson and Art Corner Toledo (ACT). So he posted on ACT’s Facebook page “I understand you get walls” and Richardson replied with excitement, “Yes, I do.”

ACT started in March of 2010 with a lofty goal — “to change the world through art and activism.”

The organization would serve as a facilitator to form partnerships between local social service organizations, artists and the community. ACT hopes that creating public works of art will be the catalyst for further revitalization in Toledo’s downtown and UpTown districts.

Behind the Wall Mede is an underground urban artist in Toledo who has an ACGT You Are Here spot located at Oliver Street Studios.

Enjoy the musical stylings of Bobby May and Friends (classic, rock and blues) at 6:30, in addition to making your own glass-blown strawberry at 6:00 and tours of the exhibit Work Hard/Play Hard at 7pm and 8pm.

Jules Olitski, With Love and Disregard: Rapture, 2002; If you haven’t seen the exhibition Revelation: Major Painting by Jules Olitski, check it out before it closes on Sunday, August 26. His large, sweeping shapes of grand near-monochrome color are expressive works that make this traveling exhibition something you don’t want to miss.

Mr. Taylor makes up one half of local design company Devicious, and his work is on display at www.hellomrtaylor.com.

The organization’s first completed project is the mural at Manos Community Garden, 1441 Jackson by artist Har Simrit-Singh and Toledo Grows.

“Toledo is a city full of artists and activists, so there’s no better way to promote the city,” Richardson says.

Mede’s goal was to simply beautify Toledo — Rachel took the next step and chose a cause for him. Richardson’s best friend was marrying the friend’s female partner, so Rachel encouraged Mede to create a wall that would promote marriage equality.

“What’s a cooler wedding present than that?” Rachel said.

Manos again donated the wall, and after taking monetary contributions and discounted materials from the Art Supply Depo, the project was set to begin. Mede teamed up with another local artist, Mr. Taylor, whom he had admired but never worked with, and the two decided to let their ideas flow. Mede would do a portion of the wall mural in his whimsical style of bubbles in rainbow colors representing LGBT rights, while Mr. Taylor added sharp, straight designs in black & white. The mural represents two sides coming together — old & new, change & status quo — into something more beautiful twisted together instead of standing alone.

The “Toledo Loves Love” mural has really lit a fuse as other property owners in the UpTown District have requested murals for their buildings. There are plans for an upcoming mural partnering Planned Pethood with artist Richard Reed. The wall on the 11th Street side of Glass City Cafe’s building has a planned photo installation with artist Robin Charney and 1Matters.org. Richardson says there are more murals in the works for the future. You can meet with the Mede, Mr.Taylor and ACT during the 2nd annual PARKing Day on Friday, September 21 in the UpTown District.

To donate to Art Corner Toledo, or for information on how to get a mural on your property email Rachel Richardson at artcornertoledo@gmail.com or visit them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/pages/Art-Corner-Toledo-ACT.

Powerhouse line-up, no cover Black Swamp does it again Sept. 7-9

By Scott Recker

Photo by Melanie Brown

It seems that the Black Swamp Arts Festival is, musically speaking, the most underrated festival in Northwest Ohio. Look at past acts: Railroad Earth, Chuck Prophet, The Infamous Stringdusters, Bernard Allison and, last year’s main stage attraction, Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears. The Festival is always well-attended, but it’s still a hidden gem to many. And this year’s lineup, as usual, is worth the 20 minute drive south. Oh yeah, and it’s free.

Here are four of the bands we’re most excited about.

Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside Friday at 8pm

She’s everything the money-hungry bubblegum pop machine isn’t. A raw, distinctive Americana melting pot of folk, blues and jazz with pure, captivating energy, the Portland-based four-piece is a shiny nugget of modern-day roots counterculture. She even takes lyrical swipes at the Justin Biebers of the world, angrily crooning “What have these people done to music?/They just don’t care anymore” on Dirty Radio’s opener “I Swear.” She’s a loaded pistol that’ll keep you moving.

The Bright Light Social Hour Friday at 10pm Photo by Shannon Soule

If you think the self-indulgent, inyour-face guitar solo is a thing of the past, you clearly haven’t seen The Bright Light Social Hour. They rock so hard that every time the boys from Texas play at the Village Idiot, the power goes out at least twice. Simply said: They have a big sound, from the thunderous rhythm section to distorted power chords to the monstrous, jock-rock vocals. They’re also the first band I’ve seen that makes a Keytar look cool.

Eilen Jewell

Saturday at 3:15pm I don’t know what’s more captivating: her sweet, soulful sound, or the biting power of her sad lyrics. The Queen of the Minor Key has the seductive voice of a sexy lounge singer and the sensibilities of an alt-country powerhouse.

Her weary, road-worn vocals effortlessly intertwine with a sound that owes as much to jazz as it does twang. Don’t be fooled, the Boise native isn’t soft; her cover of Loretta Lynn’s “Fist City” has an upfront don’t-mess-with-me tone.

Wheels

Sunday at 12:20pm The new millennium brought with it the return of the banjo among budding indie-folk bands like this four piece from Yellow Springs, Ohio. With rock & roll rhythms that hang in the air sliced by guitar solos and banjo twang, they’re a quintessential roots revival band that play by their own rules. It’s bluegrass. It’s pop. It’s ambient, dreamy hipster, folk rock. And it’s good.

The Black Swamp Arts Festival runs from Friday, September 7 - Sunday, September 9 on Main Street in Bowling Green. For more info and full schedule, check out www.blackswamparts.org.

Built to spill

Mickey Finn’s Pub /Tue., Aug. 28 Boise, Idaho’s band, Built to Spill, is coming up on 20 years of working together, and they aren’t slowing down. Led by bearded guitar hero Doug Martsch, the group has kept a loyal following, and, along with bands like Dinosaur Jr., formed something of a link between 1990s alt-rock and the indie rock of today. Any fan of Band of Horses or My Morning Jacket will appreciate Martsch’s densely rocking guitar suites, and you can even hear a bit of the Shins or Death Cab for Cutie in his plaintive way with a melody and wobbly Neil-Young-ish croon.

BTS hasn’t put out a record since 2009, but here’s hoping they’ll play a career spanning set that dips into classics like 1997’s Perfect From Now On and 2001’s Ancient Melodies of the Future. Doors 7pm, $20.

The way to tranquility

Find a peaceful space amid the turmoil of everyday life, with meditation classes at Harmony in Life in Sylvania. Private sessions are available with instructor Gale Clark.

Clark will teach you how to incorporate meditation into your life, including how to create a “sacred space” within your own home. It’s a way to quiet your mind and increase focus, and it can be lifealtering. “These are stressful times,” Clark says, “and this is a wonderful tool to assist in creating harmony in our lives.” $20. 5747 Main St., Sylvania.

Keep your eye on the sky as the sun, Mars, and Mercury all change signs. There is a Blue Moon and we celebrate the Labor Day holiday.

— BY SUE LOVETT

ARIES (March 21-April 19) On the 23rd

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) On the

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) On the 22nd

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) You

Mars makes you look for hidden meanings. Your imagination runs wild the 25th and 26th. The Blue Moon on the 31st finds you ready for the holiday. There is labor for you on Labor Day. It will not bring money but it brings recognition.

the sun moves into your fifth house of fun and games. That is a signal for you to set plans for a Labor Day vacation and a change of pace. The Blue Moon lights up your life. On the weekend you try to fit 48 hours into each 24.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) On the 22nd the

sun brings attention to your home base. The 24th and 25th try a new place with new people.

Plan your holiday weekend so you are not shut out anywhere. Both twins are in shape for a parade, a festival, even a boat ride.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Work shows up the 24th through the 26th. It may be a labor of love. There is a Blue Moon (the second full moon this month) on the 31st. Get in shape for the holiday. Head for the beach at least one day.

You crabs are happiest walking in the sand.

LEO (July 23-August 22) Mars moves into

your home the 23rd so the dust flies as you get the place in shape. From then until the 31st your life is a blur. The Blue Moon then lights up your surroundings. You have good intentions to rest on the holiday weekend but it’s impossible.

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) Happy Birthday to you on the 22nd. You cannot stay on schedule after the 23rd but everyone forgives you. The Blue Moon the 31st is in your seventh house and Mercury comes home to your sign so you prepare for a traditional holiday.

23rd Mars calls attention to financial affairs.

A short trip the 25th and 26th is fun. You are concerned about previous commitments for the holiday weekend. Join the festivities on the 2nd and 3rd. A parade? A boat ride? Both? are in the spotlight the 22nd and 23rd. Mars moves into your sign giving you tons of energy but you have trouble harnessing it. The Blue Moon on the 31st is extremely fortunate for you. Try to pack three days into two over the weekend.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) You are on the road the 24th, 25th, and

26th. The Blue Moon on the 31st may keep you close to home to enjoy the holiday weekend.

Get some rest on the 1st, as there is no down time on the 2nd and 3rd. Enjoy it all!

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19)

You are quiet on the 24th and 25th. The week of the 27th you are happy because you are in control. The Blue Moon on the 31st shines where you drive so be cautious. You may be gone for the weekend and you do more than your share of the work.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18)

Career matters are on your mind. Alternate those thoughts to include a celebration for the end of summer. You can mix business with pleasure. The Blue Moon on the 31st is expensive. Start September on the road, a beach, or a boat.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) On the 22nd the sun moves into your seventh house which is great for relationships. On the 25th and 26th you party — hopefully on someone’s boat. The Blue Moon on the 31st shines directly on you and you do love the spotlight.

CELEBRITY VIRGOS

Virgos come into the world with a bottle of Windex in one hand and a roll of paper towels in the other. They want to organize and clean up the world. They are not shy and get involved in community affairs.

Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey and Warren Buffet are Virgos.

Locally Collette Jacobs, editor-in-chief of the City Paper, and Mike Navarre, Oregon’s police chief, celebrate too.

STYLE SENSE

Kristen Mori, regional account executive at WNWO Channel 24 We spotted some stylish ladies at the Party in the Parking Lot XXV event at the Toledo Club on July 20th, but we thought Kristen's body-con stripes were a standout. The account exec proves ageist fashion rules are meant to be broken.

How do you decide what to wear in the morning?

I think about the meetings I have lined up for the day to determine my style. If I am meeting with a bank, I will choose a conservative suit, but if I am meeting with a small boutique owner, a more casual skirt and top that’s more trendy would work.

Out and about

Toledo Pride celebrated equality for people of all sexual orientations at their third annual festival and parade the weekend of August 10. Revelers showed their love for the LGBTQA community at downtown's Levis Square.

I think Toledo has great boutiques, for the size of our town. I love the boutiques in Perrysburg where I live — Ragazza, Elegant Rags, and Vivian Kate are my go-to stores.

Where do you shop? Local, online, or chain store, and why?

I mostly shop at [those] local boutiques, but I am guilty of buying shoes online from Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus because I just cannot find the brands that I like at the local department stores in town. I miss Jacobson's shoe department!!

What do you think is a style strength in Toledo?

What's a trend that makes you shake your head in disbelief, and why?

The neon colors showing right now I can live without and some of the 80s trends that are trying to come back are not meant for someone my age to wear. It was fine when I was in my teens, but I would never consider wearing them now!

Janet Amid's Celebrate the Senses psychic event brought together readers (like TCP's astrology columnist Sue Lovett) and those in search of hints about the future on Saturday, August 18. The event was held at Levis Commons' Hilton Hotel.
