Glass City Mashers brew better

Costly Reduction: The Nature Conservancy found that current phosphorus loading is too high in 53 percent of the fields the group studied around Lake Erie.

Though the phosphorus leaching into streams that eventually empty into the lake can be mitigated by erosion control and nutrient management, the Bowling Green Sentinel-Tribune reported that doing so would cost $263 million annually.

Fishy Findings: The Ohio DepartmentofNaturalResources (ODNR) reported that “many of the [walleye] being caught have been below the 15-inch legal size limit.” Yellow perch fishing is on the upswing, the ODNR reported, “with the best spots being north of the Toledo water intake.”

Dropping Licenses: The number of fishing licenses sold in eight counties bordering Lake Erie has dropped by 15 percent in 2015, a USDA official with the department’s Natural Resource Conservation Service noted during a talk in Lima on August 26.

Marine Reassurance: Ohio State University’s Stone Lab interim director Chris Winslow indicated that tainted fish from harmful algal blooms aren’t an issue for the lake’s sportfishing community, as reported by the Chicago Sun-Times.

International Aim: The governments of Ohio, Michigan and Ontario, Canada, aim to reduce phosphorus draining into Lake Erie by 40 percent over the nex t decade.

HighConcentration:TheNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that “high concentrations [of toxic cyanobacterial bloom] and sporadic scums continue in Maumee Bay.”

Clean Water At Home: G. Glenn Lipscomb, professor and chairman of the University of Toledo’s chemical and environmental engineering department, is confident that inhome reverse osmosis systems could eliminate toxic algae from tap water. The Blade reported that the in-home systems cost “about $250.”

More Toxic than Last Year: Though not as large as 2015’s recording-setting harmful algal bloom, according to MLive. com, “scientists say this year’s harmful algal bloom is more toxic” than last year’s.”

Professor Hildo After more than two years, plus a final few months of hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing, Toledo City Council finally pulled the trigger. In a unanimous vote, our peerless leaders passed sweeping legislation aimed at ending the scourge of lead-poisoned children in Toledo.

We aren’t here to praise or vilify said legislation, however. The merits and deficits and unintended consequences can be masticated elsewhere, Instead, let’s examine the process that produced the “lead-safe properties” ordinance. It allows a brief peek behind the scenes of City Politics.

Movin’ on up

Let’s start with the original legislation, introduced way back when Paula Hicks Hudson was still a lowly district council rep and Jack Ford still strode among us. PHH decided to make eliminating lead hazards in older rental stock her One Big Thing.

And what a big thing it was. Crafted with help from the public interest legal aid group ABLE, her ordinance would have required fullblown lead abatement of any property found to have a trace of the suspect element. Ford held a committee hearing on the ordinance, and a parade of Chicken Littles pronounced the imminent fall of the housing stock sky.

They warned that no one could afford to comply with the ordinance’s requirements, citing expected costs of tens of thousands of dollars per property. Abandoned houses! they wailed. More blight for copper thieves to pillage! they moaned. And that was that. PHH’s One Big Thing died on the vine, or at least, died in committee.

Except it didn’t die. PHH became Mayor Hicks Hudson, and a large group calling itself the Lead Safe Committee formed to have another go at the undead beastie. Front and center in the group was ABLE lawyer Bob Cole. But the faces of the committee also included reps from the health department, heads of community groups, ministers of black churches, and even the President of the local NAACP.

September 7 • September 23

The new incarnation of the lead ordinance was less onerous, requiring only lead containment rather than abatement. Hearings were held, Chicken Littles paraded, amendments were offered, and in the end, the new lead-safe ordinance is now law in T-Town.

Lessons learned

What can we learn from this legislative sojourn? First, it’s good to be mayor. PHH has lots more clout with Democrats on council as mayor than she ever had as their peer, even as President of Council. There’s also a larger, more dependable cadre of true-blue Democrats on the current council to have clout with. So another lesson is, elections matter.

A third and most basic lesson is that elected officials want to look like they’re accomplishing something. PHH wanted this to be her signature legislation when she was a simple council member. She wants it even more as mayor. Members of council were confronted with the horrifying statistics of lead poisoning in Lucas County. They predictably responded with, “we gotta do somethin’!”

The “somethin’” to do was provided in a neat, leagalese-laden package by an influential group who could make or break future election cycles. It was one thing when PHH and a lawyer wanted an ordinance passed. When black ministers and the NAACP speak, Democrats on council listen.

Those voices demanding passage of the ordinance were balanced by the hue and cry of doom and gloomers who wanted the whole effort scrapped. Lesson four. When electeds want to “do somethin’,” demanding they instead do nothing will never work.

Was the final legislation the best and brightest somethin’ that could be done? That doesn’t matter. Let the health department figure it out. And that’s the biggest take-away from the lead ordinance saga.

In City Politics, looking like you’re “doin’ somethin’” is all that counts.

CITY SIDE

Medical Marijuana, now legal in Ohio

an e-mail. “[Rescheduling] would not allow doctors to prescribe marijuana until it was approved by the FDA, which is unlikely to happen in raw plant form.”

But still prohibited under federal law

by David Maxwell Fine

Differing opinions on Ohio’s law

Ohio is the 25th state to legalize medical marijuana effective September 8, 2016. But it will likely take several years for licensed marijuana dispensaries to be up and running. The process for patient registration is yet to be developed, and it is not yet legal for Ohioans to obtain marijuana from another medically legal state, such as Michigan. So, Ohioans looking to legally use marijuana as medicine will have to wait.

Ohio law explained

Ohio’s Medical Marijuana Control Program, charged with developing the patient registration system, may take a year before allowing those with designated illnesses to obtain a doctor’s recommendation for medical cannabis. Approved illnesses include: Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy or other seizure disorder, Chronic Pain, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Fibromyalgia, and others.

The new law does not make it legal to smoke— combust— the marijuana, or to grow your own plants. Instead, acceptable forms for ingestion include vaporization (heating the marijuana plant to release marijuana’s primary psychoactive chemical, Tetrahydrocannibinol— that is, THC— and other cannabinoids without releasing carcinogenic smoke), edibles (such as baked goods or teas), using patches, and taking oils or tinctures. Patients will be permitted to possess a 90-day supply of the drug.

How marijuana works as medicine

Cannabinoids are a class of many chemicals found in marijuana that bind to receptors in the body’s nervous and immune systems. THC is the chemical that gets people high, but also fights nausea and increases appetite, as well as alleviating other symptoms.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, has become popular as a treatment for many of the same health problems marijuana is approved to treat. CBD oil has been available for purchase before the new law at several Toledo area outlets.

Legal classification of marijuana

Ohio’s new medical marijuana law explicitly classifies marijuana as a Schedule 2 controlled substance, a designation that recognizes an accepted medical use, while acknowledging a high potential for abuse.

However, recently the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reaffirmed that, under federal law, marijuana has no accepted medical use, leaving marijuana in the Schedule 1 category.

The DEA’s stance, declining to reschedule marijuana, maintains the legal conflict between 25 state medical marijuana laws and the federal government.

Both the Federal Controlled Substances Act and Ohio’s Controlled Substances statute consist of five schedules of drugs, Schedule 1 being for drugs considered to have no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

Heroin, LSD, Mescaline, Peyote, Ecstasy, and Psilocybin from “magic mushrooms” are some of the many Federal Schedule 1 drugs. The drugs in schedules 2 through 5 all have an accepted medical use coupled with a decreasing potential for abuse.

www.toledocitypaper.com

Surprisingly, sap from the opium poppy, as well as coca leaves, cocaine, and methamphetamine are all listed in Schedule 2, despite the fact that smoking opium or chewing coca leaves are hardly accepted forms of medicine in the USA. Seemingly, if opium and coca leaves are listed in Schedule 2, marijuana could also be listed that way.

“It is shaky ground, as long as the federal government sees marijuana as having no medical benefits,” University of Toledo Law Professor Jelani Exum said.

“Another [Presidential] administration can come in and have a completely different outlook [on medical marijuana] and shut everything down – that would be hugely unpopular. I doubt there will be any big push by the federal government to destroy what states are doing.”

“I am disappointed in the DEA for refusing to reschedule this drug,” said State Senator Edna Brown, who represents Lucas County and co-sponsored the medical marijuana legislation, H.B. 523. “Although I highly encourage additional research on this subject, there is already significant data to show that the use of cannabis for the management of pain and other medical illnesses is highly beneficial... [The DEA’s] decision will continue to make access to care unnecessarily difficult for families throughout the country.“

Conflicting State and Federal laws

“They’re still policing these legal states,” said Chad Thompson, Northwest Ohio NORML’s (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) action director. “An ounce and a half [of marijuana] in Washington State will get you a $10,000 fine,” Thompson said, referring to federal, not state, statutes.

A recent ruling by the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, based on a Congressional budget measure, prohibits the U.S. from spending money to prosecute or pursue marijuana dispensaries or individuals lawfully using marijuana with a doctor’s recommendation.

Morgan Fox of the Marijuana Policy Project, a marijuana advocacy organization working on reforming marijuana laws and legalizing medical marijuana, said that if the DEA moved marijuana to Schedule 2 it would not help the states that much. “The DEA’s decision not to reschedule marijuana at the federal level means almost nothing in practical terms for Ohio,” he wrote in

September 7 • September 23

The medical marijuana law does have its detractors.

Ohioans for Medical Marijuana (OMM), a state group that had been pushing a ballot initiative to amend the Ohio Constitution to include medical marijuana, dropped its ballot initiative when Governor Kasich signed the medical marijuana law, calling it a “joyous day.” But the group also called the law imperfect. “While there are about 20 serious and debilitating medical conditions covered by Ohio’s medical marijuana law there are still far too many Ohioans being left behind,” said Aaron Marshall of OMM. “Huntington’s Disease, Autism agitation, as well as those suffering from severe muscle spasms and severe nausea are all excluded from the list of diseases covered by Ohio’s law.” OMM also thinks the law’s regulation of doctors too stringent, that the law should permit patients to be able to grow their own marijuana plants, and allow people to smoke the marijuana.

State Representative Teresa Fedor, who represents Toledo constituents, voted against the law. “I can be supportive of medical marijuana, [but] I was in no rush…

Protection for workers are not there,” she said. Under the new law, an employer does not have to accommodate an employee’s use of marijuana, and an employee who is injured while working under the influence of marijuana will not be eligible for worker’s compensation benefits.

Employers can still drug test and refuse to hire or fire employees for using medical marijuana, and if you are fired for using marijuana, you will not be eligible for unemployment benefits. “I called the new law a cruel joke,” Rep. Fedor said in an e-mail, “because it limits workplace protections... There are many other medications that are much harsher and have more side effects than marijuana.”

OMM estimates that 200,000 Ohioans will ultimately qualify for access to medical marijuana.

“Patients deserve options,” Senator Edna Brown said, “If licensed medical doctors believe a patient could benefit from marijuana, we should believe (the doctors).”

Attempts to change Federal law

One member of Congress, Vermont Senator and Democratic Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders made just such an effort to change the laws last year, submitting a bill in the U.S. Senate, the “Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act.” The bill would have removed marijuana from the Controlled Substances Schedule, and effectively made its regulation like that of alcohol.

However, the bill lacked support.

The beginning of Ohio’s foray into the legalization of medical marijuana is here. How this will play out in our state, and across the country, continues to unfold.

CONT’DFROM P 7 Stay inspired. Seek out work that challenges your sense of self, your expectations, and your world view and inspires curiosity and emotional reaction (good or bad). It’s healthy for your mind, and ultimately drives you to respond and create. - Ryan Bunch, Communications & Outreach Coordinator at The Arts Commission

Creativity isn’t a conscious decision.

There’s no “on/off” switch. It’s as much a part of life as breathing— I have no choice in the matter. - Paul Geiger, owner of Tholepin Press and Studios in downtown Toledo

Eliminate stress and stay engaged.

Lately that’s meant keeping up a solid life routine, attending that event said I was “interested” in, and in general trying to make time to do the things I said I was going to do! - Kim Sanchez, Theatre Manager of the Ohio Theatre and Event Center

Step out of your comfort zone. Try new things, meet new people, go to a place you’ve never been; a park, store, city, country, state. Explore! Challenge the status quo, check out opposing views, ideas, concepts. Go see plays, concerts, lectures. Keep an open mind. - Barbara Barkan, director/actor and cofounder of Actors Collaborative Toledo

How to Stay Creative

10 Moments on the Stage we’re waiting for

Be open minded. Be open to all perspectives of what is beautiful. The beauty of anything creative is always a reflection of an artist’s true soul. - Paula Blocker aka Stormi, poet and host of the weekly open mic, The Spoken Words Trunk of Truths.

advice from Glass City visionaries

Surround yourself with other free thinkers. They can drive your own inspiration to create— you have to try to be in the right environment. In the Museum’s studio art classes, you’re around other people who want to make things, which is usually the spark I need.” – Sara Daniels, Education Program Coordinator, Toledo Museum of Art

Find your formula.

Staying creative for me is about two main things-— getting out of town to network and get ideas, and setting deadlines.

Take on so much you are overwhelmed— this will force you to buckle down and make a lot happen.

Black Frog Brewery hops from bottle to bar room Harris is areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first AfricanAmerican commercial craft brewer

By Tom Konecny

Following a successful two-year run selling bottled craft beer in local markets, Black Frog Brewery is building on popularity and opening a pub in Holland. Founder Chris Harris, who until now has brewed solely from his garage, believes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to hop into new territory, also giving Holland its first tap room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going well,â&#x20AC;?

Harris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wherever I take the beer it sells out almost immediately.â&#x20AC;?

The new locationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; opening Saturday, September 17â&#x20AC;&#x201D; transfers the brewing operation to a true tap room.

The 1,100 square foot space will seat 30, with service from seven taps, five for his core brews, while two rotating, seasonal taps.

Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concept is a traditional pub, serving strictly beer, but allowing food to be brought in. With initial plans for limited weekend hours, in deference to his other, full-time job, he hopes to

Chris Harris, owner of Black Frog Brewery, will open up his brick and mortar tap room this month. grow the brewery and expand hours and product availability.

For a market the size of Toledo, Harris sees the area as a bit behind the craft brewery trend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at other areas our size, there might be 20 to 25 breweries,â&#x20AC;? Harris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Toledo, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more coming on, but right now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only about six of us.

Toledo is really behind.â&#x20AC;?

Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; a Scott High School gradâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; is the first African-American to own a craft brewery in Toledo. The name Black Frog nods to Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heritage with the amphibian designation paying homage to Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frog Townâ&#x20AC;? moniker.

Black Frog Brewery uses honey malt in every beer, a unique aspect that Harris hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen elsewhere. The malt offers a slightly sweeter taste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a unique thing with Black Frog, but I fell in love with the malt. That adds to our uniqueness.â&#x20AC;?

Harris began brewing as a simple hobby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the first moment I started, I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, this is amazing and it grew into a passion. I wanted to know everything about brewing beer. I wondered if I could do this professionally.â&#x20AC;?

The answer is clearly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, he can.â&#x20AC;?

Look for Black Frog beers in other local establishments and restaurants.

Join Harris at the grand opening of Black Frog Brewery on Saturday, September 17 from 1:3011pm. Enjoy prizes and giveaways.

Black Frog Brewery bottles can be found at all three Andersons locations, both Monnetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Markets, Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beverage Center and Walt Churchillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market. Tap room hours: 4:30-11 pm Friday, 3-11 pm Saturday. Black Frog Brewery, 831 S. McCord, Holland.

J & G Pizza Palace Brewing Up Hand-Crafted Suds On-Site Fill in the blank: Pizza and _________

If you guessed anything but â&#x20AC;&#x153;beer,â&#x20AC;? you just got uninvited to ALL the parties.

Have no fear though: in time for football, study dates and fall sweaters, Sylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s J & G Pizza Palace is brewing up ales for all occasions. Perfect for pairing with a slice or simply for a little casual quaffing, people who take their microbrews seriously now have one more reason to veg out in Sylvania. While not yet on the menu, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving you advance notice so you can start lining up early. And so you have something to read while waiting for The Tappening (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just our name for it, call it what you want), check out this interview with Nick Dallas, head of the brew game over at J & Gâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza Palace.

We hear youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna be brewing craft beers yourself? True story?

We have a brewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license now and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re brewing them onsite. Just for draft, just for the restaurant.

So, what are you whipping up?

Different types of ales. No lagers, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough equipment for that.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna be doing things like IPAs, wheat beers, pale ales, browns, porters, cream ales â&#x20AC;Ś all kinds of things like that.

Are you new to brewing?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been brewing for five years now. For the restaurant, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the idea for the last two years and have been working at it for the last 14 months to make it a reality.

Why the move to craft brews now?

I just enjoy brewing a lot, and me and my dad (he owns J&G Pizza Palace).

Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kinda doing the same thing and we just enjoy it, so it fits together pretty well where I was already brewing and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have beer. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the same selection as before, as far as the bottle selection goes and the wine, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not changing in any way, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just adding to the business side.

Which of your beers do you recommend with a good slice of pepperoni pizza?

Oh, boy, I think my pale ale would go great with that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called 882 Pale Ale (because 882 is the first three digits of the Sylvania phone number). And the cream ale goes good with a good piece of pizza as well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have one of those brewing up.

When do we get to try them?

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no official date yet â&#x20AC;Ś I think about the middle to the third week of September. Yeah, the middle, right around there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eventually put something out on Facebook and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let everybody know when we have them.

There you go, hop fanatics. J & G Pizza Palace is gonna have a lights out craft selection in the very, very near future. So if you want to be able to tell all your cohorts and cronies that you had the craft beers at J & G Pizza Palace â&#x20AC;&#x153;before they were cool,â&#x20AC;? youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna have to be first in line.

Yeah, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be like that.

Beer drinking is an art form and you’re a damn Rembrandt. You consider a dirty glass to be the only true drinking problem. You refer to everything before Sierra Nevada as “the Dark Ages.”

Your homebrew setup is better than Anheuser-Busch’s, but even the Great Masters have to know their limitations — Da Vinci’s friends probably told him to “just shut up and drink” once in awhile too. So how do you know if you’ve moved from the realm of worldly hops connoisseur to outright beer snob? It’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance. Many a ancestral brewer died claiming that “bottom fermentation was for wusses.” Probably.

Fortunately for you, we’ve evolved as a society and nobody need suffer for their love of a truly divine Trappist ale. Also, nobody has to listen to you rhapsodize about how “Last year’s batch was better.” You say that every year. To keep things harmonious on the pub crawl, we’ve devised this handy Bingo board. Cover up every square that applies to you; if you find yourself yelling “Bingo,” maybe it’s time to put down the barrelaged Chimay Grande Reserve, throw back a Corona Light and embrace the common life for a while … a short while.

110 Stories of 9/11

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 left an indelible mark on the soul of America. All who witnessed that day have their own story of how the events affected them. At the crossroads of these stories lies the emotional truth.

This ideaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; to bring together numerous narratives in an effort to construct a more complete picture of the events of 9/11â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is the heart of 110 Stories, Sarah Tuftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;docu-playâ&#x20AC;? to be performed in commemoration of the 15th anniversary of the attacks.

Narrating the stories

Tuft, herself a 9/11 volunteer, conducted interviews with dozens of witnesses, weaving them together into a production that acts as a piece of theatrical journalism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the show captures the experiences of people from many different backgrounds, including those whose voices are underrepresented in the aftermath, such as homeless victims,â&#x20AC;? said Angie Patchett, director of the Toledo Rep production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think 110 Stories brings out a really strong human interest and makes 9/11 more personal. We hear stories the audience is able to relate to because the characters are down to earth and have relatable backgrounds.â&#x20AC;?

Powerful script

Patchett was first exposed to Tuftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play at the Rep this past spring. Hearing that the group was looking for directors for the new season, Patchett began reading through shows that were scheduled to be performed and became emotionally invested in 110 Stories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I read 110 Stories it took me about a week,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not because the script was that long but because it was so powerful that I choked up every page or so and was too overcome to read more.â&#x20AC;?

The original production of the show, in New York in 2011, featured luminaries such as Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy Piven in a staged reading of the material. Patchett said her own approach to the production has been more organic, with concepts arising through working with her cast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we had our first read-through we talked about where we were that day

The actors are doing a great job of memorizing this very difficult material.â&#x20AC;?

Toledo artists answer

The Jewish Art Festival asks an important question, “What is Jewish Art?”

by Michelle Layn Horn and Athena Cocoves In the July 1, 1966 issue of Commentary Magazine, Jewish art critic Henry Rosenberg wrote an article entitled “Is There A Jewish Art?” In it, he said: “Jewish creation in art has been very vital in this century, and the important thing is that while Jewish artists have not been creating as Jews, they have not been working as non-Jews, either.

Their art has been the closest expression of themselves as they are.”

Jewish people honor their roots, discover their past and protect their identity. Historically, identity was sometimes all they had.

Local Jewish artists were recently given the chance to answer an important question: What is Jewish art? See how 25 local artists responded during the Jewish Arts Festival, sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Greater Toledo, on Sunday, September 11.

Finding early answers

Sixteen year old artist Ella Musher Eizenman explores her identity by working Judaica symbolism into her photography. Age 16, Eizenman began

using a digital camera at age seven, learning the basics of photography. She says the festival inspired her to look at Jewish symbols and history to experiment with new styles.

Glass artist and Toledo native, Adam Goldberg, will show his works during the festival. While most of his pieces are not Jewish in nature, he says, “My upbringing and the way I see the world is part of my Jewish heritage.”

Goldberg co-owns Gathered Glassblowing Studio, which he opened with two friends, Eli Lipman and Mike Stevens. Goldberg, along with his team at Gathered, also creates custom installations, like two large-scale, site-specific installations for the Toledo Zoo & Aquarium and ProMedica.

Discovering your own way

Gabi Mallin, a graphic designer and former Atlanta window designer for the Federated Department store which owns Macy’s, will show her unique digital work. Her vibrant, abstract and jewel-toned compositions are created digitally through a technique she devel-

After doing a design by computer, she prints out multiple images, textures and backgrounds and then hand cuts each layer with spacers to create a 3D piece of artwork.

Loving it late in life

While Renee Jacobson’s interest in art began as a child, when her father taught her calligraphy, her jewelry business didn’t begin until 25 years ago.

After spending years watching her husband buy and sell jewelry, she decided to try her hand at jewelry making.

After a few years experimenting, “Jewels by Renee” was born, along with her pieces made with glass, metal, wood, crystal and enamel. She and her husband immediately sold out of her first 1,500 bracelets.

September 7 • September 23

Her husband passed away three years ago, but Jacobson continues to create to keep memories of them together alive. “I get enjoyment when someone ‘oohs and aahs’ something that I have created,” she says. “Everyone is an artist whether it’s the way you arrange the colors in your house or the dishes on your table.”

You are invited! Recently a new visitor to our community shared this comment on her Facebook feed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come for the community...stay for the love.â&#x20AC;?

Are YOU ready for LOVE? Are YOU ready to experience FREEDOM from judgement, guilt and fear? Ready to move beyond false teachings inspired in a time of extreme oppression and control by those seeking power?

While relics of the past, like fear and guilt continue to be great motivators, they only serve to keep us separated, confused and small. And YOU are anything but small. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to awaken to your greatness!

At Unity of Toledo Spiritual Center we follow in the teachings of that One who forgave the whole world.

And in forgiveness love was perfectly expressed.

That perfect expression showed the world that God is Love. HEALING LOVE is all that has ever existed.

Even if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet recognize its presence.

American Frameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artist resources Framing professional futures

By Athena Cocoves and Courtney Probert

As the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arts movement booms, so does local business, American Frame. Beginning in a garage and now expanded to a showroom with a gallery and workshop space, the business gives local artists resources, on a professional level, by offering free classes and workshops that help artists frame, print and mat their own work, bringing a community of artists into the store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Showroom, which was recently redone and expanded in October of 2015, offers American Frame an energy we would not be able to tap into without this place for the community to gather.

It gives us a chance for events, gallery shows, classes, and face to face interaction with our customers,â&#x20AC;? says Lindsey Harrison, Showroom Manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are part of the local art community. We are privileged to be in a position where we can support, elevate, and promote the fine local artists in our area as well as the art community at large.â&#x20AC;?

To find out how American Frame moved out of the garage and into the sphere of business, we caught up with Laura Jajko, president.

Laura Jajko: My dad started this company in our garage back in 1973. His idea was to sell custom picture frames to the public via direct mail which was then new to the custom picture frame industry. My sister, Dana & I, continue to grow the company online and in our store.

TCP: How did you choose Toledo as the home for your business?

LJ: Toledo chose us! Our family is Toledo born and bred. Our physical location is actually in Maumee which, to us, is integral to Toledo.

TCP: How have you seen the Toledo market change over the years ?

LJ: The city has become an incubator for the arts and we are so proud to be a part of this story. With all the fine work being done by the Museum, the Toledo Arts Commission, the local universities and art schools, we are energized by the opportunities we see for artists and art appreciators.

American Frame pairs up with nonprofit and art organizations to fundraise and support their mission. The showroom has a gallery for art related lectures or meetings, following the notion that the success of an artist is the businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal.

In the showroom, see the works of local abstract artist Vineta Cook in her solo exhibit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inner Storiesâ&#x20AC;? through September 30. Join Cook for an Artist Talk & Reception from 11:30am-2pm on Saturday, September 24.

When pigs fly Flying Pig Music Fest returns to TSA

by Michael Pierce In the spirit of music festivals everywhere, Toledo School for the Arts (TSA) will host its Flying Pig Music Fest.

Last year’s inaugural event was such a success that it’s been made an annual fest. “The first year of a fundraiser, being a new event, you generally hope to break even, but we had such a great turnout last year that we were able to make money,” says John DuVall, the annual giving manager for TSA.

Rock the lot! The second annual Flying Pig Music Fest is back with more bands, food trucks, activities and community support.

One of the “Big Three”

The Flying Pig Music Fest is one of three major fundraising events for the school. The other two major fundraisers, Steppin’ Out with TSA— a shoe-themed “not-so-silent auction” for the general public, and the student fundraiser, O-Rama Day, will continue, says DuVall.

A day of music and fun

Eight bands will perform in the TSA parking lot, starting at 12:30pm (doors open at noon) and continuing into the evening. There will also be an arts and crafts fair and vendor area, face

28

painting and other activities for kids, as well as a wide variety of food trucks— including Mr. Frosty’s Ice Cream, Rachel Michael’s Gourmet Popcorn, and Rosie’s Rolling Chef.

Musical acts include Not Fast Enuff, Madison Avenue, East River Drive, Unpaved, Hepcat Revival, Damn Adams, Right Angles, and Mojoe Boes and His Noble Jones. Each of the eight bands has at least one TSA staff member. “Their dedication to this school is absolutely incredible, above

and beyond their rigorous teaching,” explains DuVall. “It’s just an amazing group of people that we have here.”

Number one in Ohio

TSA was recently ranked the number one charter school in Ohio

by Niche, a college and K-12 ranking website. This ranking was determined

by SAT/ACT and state test scores, graduation rates (TSA has a 100% graduation rate), overall college readiness, teacher quality, and student/ parent reviews.

September 7 • September 23

Local support allows the charter school to receive high rankings. Unlike public schools, TSA receives no funding from the local government, instead raising money through this kind of special event.

DuVall says, echoing a mantra of the school, “We’re just ordinary people doing extraordinary things.”

Noon-9:30pm Saturday, September 10. $10/adults, $5/students, free/ages 5 and under. VIP: $35/person, $50/couple. Toledo School for the Arts, 333 14th St. 419-246-8732. ts4arts.org

Toledo According to_____________!

How Amelia fills up her Glass (City) Name: Amelia Jarret Age: 34 Toledoan since: Birth Occupation: General Manager at The Attic on Adams For the best view of Toledo drive over the I-280 bridge into downtown at night and can’t help being proud of our beautiful downtown.

If money wasn’t an object, I would 1) open a bar/restaurant with my bestie Stephanie Schnapp. We would serve her visionary vegan cuisine with amazing local beers and hand crafted cocktails.

The hardest thing about living in Toledo is our crazy weather, but the best thing is that we can have fun in a snowstorm.

1 Amelia and Steph Schnapp have been BFFs for over 20 years.

Let us help you maintain

Strength and Flexibily

I always brag about how in Toledo you can make your dream come true.

I know the Original Sub Shop will satisfy my munchies.

Shmotel (L-R) Jared Struck (sax), Kelly Thompson (synth), Amanda Belt (vocals, guitar), Jon Zenz (bass) and Jess Hancock (drums).

I was born and raised in The Old West End and am always so inspired by my neighbors, but I am so invested in our UpTown Neighborhood and can’t wait to see what the future holds for us!

I wish 2)Thackeray's book store was still open. That store always made young people feel good about being curious.

after physical therapy.

Going to The Huntington Center makes me feel like I am out of town.

3) 419DAY! is my favorite annual event.

It was created by friends who believe in the independent spirit of Toledo and reminds us that we have so many brilliant minds and entrepreneurs right here. Celebrating our local businesses and artists is so important to keep our city alive!

Toledo’s motto should be “when you work together, anything is possible!”.

Keep high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetic issues in check.

When did your love affair with fashion begin? My love affair with fashion began when I was a little girl. I have 3 older sisters and we loved to play dress up with their clothes and shoes.

Where do you shop find the most unique items in your closet? The most unique items in my closet can come from anywhere. I love department stores, boutiques and resale shops.
