Two women artists explore creativity, protest Emerging women artists Shanna Merola and Sheida Soleimani will present their work Thursday, Oct. 15, through Friday, Dec. 11, in the Center for the Visual Arts Gallery at The University of Toledo’s Toledo Museum of Art Campus. Soleimani, an Iranian-American artist, will display her current series of works titled “National Anthem,” which melds sculpture, collage and photography to create collisions in reference to Iranian politics throughout the past century. Merola is a conceptual artist and documentary photographer for grassroots social justice organizations. She works for the National Lawyers Guild, coordinating legal support for activists. Her work, “We All Live Downwind,” has been carved from daily headlines of disaster. “Shanna Merola and Sheida Soleimani’s work attempts to make sense of what it is all about by piecing together images, critiquing cultural traditions, and deconstructing traditional photography. Their work attempts to create new forms that challenges current sociopolitical circumstances,” Brian Carpenter, lecturer of art and gallery director. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

UT production of Shakespeare’s ‘Henry V’ reveals warrior king’s darker side Often portrayed as chivalrous, the title character in The University of Toledo Department of Theatre and Film’s production of “Henry V” reveals a darker, warmongering side. The Battle of Agincourt, an enormous success for Henry and the main action of the play, was not an epic battle with breathtaking sword fights on horseback and longbow archers saving the day. In actuality, the French army got mired in mud because of their heavy armor and became sitting ducks for the English. Most recently, French academics have declared that the English behaved like war criminals, murdering prisoners and nobility who had surrendered in atrocious ways, such as setting people on fire and showing no mercy. Agincourt winds up becoming historically unimportant since Henry died before he could claim the French crown the battle entitled him to. So why does Shakespeare write about it almost 200 years later? “Ultimately, Shakespeare’s histories are not documentaries, but a reflection on human nature at its best and worst,” said Irene Alby, UT senior lecturer in theatre and film, and director of the production. “‘Henry V’ is not meant to portray the king
www.toledocitypaper.com
as a hero, but rather to unveil the corruption of power, the manipulation of the masses through propaganda, and, ultimately, to portray him as a warmonger.” Interestingly, the UT production of “Henry V” will coincide with the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt. The play’s last performance Sunday, Oct. 25, is the actual anniversary date.

Alby said she hopes this serendipitous timing of the production and the battle’s anniversary will give audiences a reason to pause and reflect on the often disastrous and tragic consequences of war, particularly wars fought for ego and glory.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30
“Henry V” will be performed with an intermission from Friday through Sunday, Oct. 23-25 in the Center for Performing Arts Center Theatre. The Friday and Saturday shows are at 7:30 p.m., and the Sunday show is at 2 p.m.

Since 1996, the memory the first Latino to serve on and become president of the Toledo Board of Education, Sofia Quintero, has lived on at the Sofia Quintero Art and Culture Center.

Changing lives— again
Tent City 2015 brings light to the area’s homeless by Jeff McGinnis
Volunteers help 1Matters all weekend long, providing coats, medical care, and nourishment to community members most in need. Since 1990, people from all around the Glass City area have come together in the spirit of generosity and caring for Tent City — the local charity organization 1Matters’ annual event held to provide aid to the area’s homeless. The 2015 edition of the event will take place October 23-25 at the Civic Center Mall in downtown Toledo. The festivities begin with the Parade of Compassion, from Promenade Park to the Tent City, at 6pm on Friday, October 23— kicking off a weekend committed to generosity toward others. “We provide services such as clothing— we have a huge clothing tent where individuals can stock up on any winter clothes they need,” said Abigail Dudek, Tent City Coordinator. “We also provide medical services, from mammograms [and] pap smears to general physicians, eye doctors [and] dental [care]... [as well as] social services.” “Each year, it’s always beautiful, just because the entire community comes together to serve those in need,” said Ken Leslie, the event’s founder and self-described advocate-in-chief. “What’s spectacular about [Tent City] is [the] unity - Mercy, Promedica, and UTMC come together to provide medical services.”
Something just snapped
Tent City began 25 years ago as the Homeless Awareness Project. Leslie was touring America as a stand-up comedian. He heard some statistics about the homelessness epidemic that hit close to his heart. “I had been homeless at one time,” Leslie said. “But when I read the statistics in a United Way study [I found out that] 60% of the homeless in Toledo are families and children—and something just snapped. I said, ‘Guys, let’s do something.’ We brought together the community, and Tent City was formed.” Over the next quarter-century, the event has blossomed into an annual
www.toledocitypaper.com
weekend where hundreds of donors and volunteers come together to serve over 1,000 individuals seeking assistance.
A more focused effort
This year, Dudek said, efforts have been much more focused on filling the specific needs of those who attend. “We kind of had a change in mindset [with] planning this year, to go after the things that we want to provide, and not just the things that are convenient to provide,” Dudek said. “It’s definitely taken a little more planning ahead of time, more time to get everything in order. But it’s also reassuring knowing what we’re going to have for that weekend, where before it’s been like, whatever’s there, that’s what we can give.”
Arm-in-arm
That spirit of giving is at the heart of the event, providing great joy. There will be live musical entertainment Friday and Saturday night, including musicians Dave Carpenter, Willie Rough and Hand Hewn. Barriers are being broken down, allowing for participants to see one another in a new light. “Every year, people come down saying that they’ll volunteer Friday night— maybe they’ll serve food— and every year we have people who just come down to serve food and they end up staying the whole weekend. Staying the night, being sideto-side and arm-in-arm with people that they would have [otherwise] overlooked on the streets,” Dudek said. “The best thing that has happened are the lives that are shared and changed at Tent City. It’s really not about the event, it’s about the individuals themselves,” Leslie said.

SELECTING
YOUR NEXT
MAYOR STARTS HERE
?
VOTER'S GUIDE
Make sure you’re clear about the candidates and issues on the November 3rd ballot.
Our annual Voting Guide helps you put things in perspective. Before hitting the polls, survey comments from Toledo’s mayoral candidates and understand the issues for 20/20 political vision.
Is the Kroger proposed for across from The Notre Dame campus what’s best for Toledo? We have the planning commission in place for a reason. They are tasked with searching out these deals and being the expert on these issues. We need to listen to them. If they say it is not the best for Toledo, then it is not what’s best for Toledo. What restrictions, if any, should there be on food truck operation in downtown Toledo? Restrictions, like any legislation, should serve citizens, not keep them from achieving their dream. We need to honor creativity and entrepreneurs taking risks, not choke them out. We need to foster a healthy relationship between brick and mortar and mobile rather than give either one an advantage. Do you find the wildflowers by the Toledo Zoo a hazard and unsightly or a beautiful aesthetic of urban wildlife? * Please include the phrase, “compostable matter” in your answer. This is an issue of communication and education. We need to communicate clearly with the public and often that includes education. Creative projects from key organizations like the Zoo should bring pride to the community. I think the decision [to] mow it down stinks… you know, like compostable matter.
What will you do to avoid another “water crisis”? As a mayor I’m not trying to “avoid” anything. Let’s solve this thing once and for all. To start, we need a second intake at an appropriate level. I have the plan to do that, but more importantly I am the type of leader that can fix it. How necessary is it for the city to fund the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio? It is always necessary to honor our word. We need to pay the bills we say we are going to pay. Period.
What is your stance on the recently approved cannabis ordinance? I’m so glad it was supported. It makes sense. For, far too long our young people have been casualties in the so called “war on drugs.” It needs to stop, we need to be bigger than that. What are your thoughts on the proposed open container entertainment districts? I’m all for it. We have leaders in our community. Creative and passionate people looking to create new ways of recreating and having a good time. Our city government needs to pay attention to them, and ask: “How can we help keep this momentum?” What will you do with Toledo’s streets, in 3 words? Fill And Pave.

Is the proposed Kroger across the street from The Notre Dame campus what’s best for Toledo? Not necessarily. There are competing interests of the parties to consider: the owner wants to sell the property; the prospective buyer wants to implement use that is contrary to the 2020 plan. Ultimately the Plan Commission will need to reach a decision, which I will support if it is well-reasoned. What restrictions, if any, should there be on food truck operation in downtown Toledo? Food trucks add ambience and dining options to downtown, but the city has important interests in regulating them. I will engage in a meaningful dialog with the truck owners and downtown business owners to develop a solution that does not unduly burden businesses and allows for continued presence of trucks. Do you find the wildflowers by the Toledo Zoo a hazard and unsightly or a beautiful aesthetic of urban wildlife? * Please include the phrase, “compostable matter” in your answer. As a botanist and Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist, I love both the wildflowers and the cultivated plants. Although I would like to see our city maintain more natural areas to provide a suitable habitat for our wildlife, I also appreciate beautiful gardens. I would strive to find a balance. What will you do to avoid another “water crisis”? Future water crises can be avoided by increased monitoring of raw water which will enable the city to treat water for longer periods. Treating toxic water is expensive and we should attack the problem at its source. We need to push the federal government to act. How necessary is it for the city to fund the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio? I would like to see the city provide partial funding to CCNO through 2018. The cost to incarcerate prisoners there is half that of the county jail. I would like to see the payment to CCNO decrease each year by lowering our guarantee and paying for fewer beds. What is your stance on the recently approved cannabis ordinance? The city ordinance conflicts with the state law; therefore, I cannot stand in support of it. While I understand the efforts of the supporters to reduce penalties for personal use of marijuana, I cannot support the ordinance in its current form. What are your thoughts on the proposed open container entertainment districts? The open container entertainment district idea may give us flexibility for new types of events. But I am concerned that the district idea may cause new challenges with enforcement of our liquor laws. This idea should be reviewed further and upon resolution of the issues, I would support it.

Is the Kroger proposed for across from The Notre Dame campus what’s best for Toledo? I really don’t think they should put another Kroger there. The land is too beautiful there and I don’t think they should chop it up to build another Kroger. What restrictions, if any, should there be on food truck operation in downtown Toledo? The only restrictions should be to follow the normal rules of any restaurant. Other than that, to keep it as safe as possible around the truck, just like an ice cream truck. Ordinary operation. Do you find the wildflowers by the Toledo Zoo a hazard and unsightly or a beautiful aesthetic of urban wildlife? * Please include the phrase, “compostable matter” in your answer. I think it’s beautiful wildlife. God put those wildflowers here for a purpose. For us to enjoy them. And we should keep them up like our own gardens. What will you do to avoid another “water crisis”? Find out what’s wrong. and do what we’re supposed to do to keep it clean and safe. Keep a good watch on it every day, maintain it every day.
How necessary is it for the city to fund the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio? They’re obligated to pay their share until the city and county is drawn together. It’s a separation. They’ve been pushed to pay it. They should pay their fair share and they should have it on hand. What is your stance on the recently approved cannabis ordinance? I vote no on that. Because, poison ivy has been here since the beginning of time— so has marijuana. Marijuana could be just as bad as poison ivy, put in the wrong hands. There’s no guarantee that it won’t reach the wrong hands, and be used wrongfully and sold wrongfully. What are your thoughts on the proposed open container entertainment districts? I really don’t feel like open containers should be out in the public like that. If fenced or guarded or safe, that might make a difference. There’s too much that people could get drunk out there. The sidewalk is too open for children to be around. What will you do with Toledo’s streets, in 3 words Fix them appropriately. CONTINUED ON P. 10

Is the Kroger proposed for across from The Notre Dame campus what’s best for Toledo? NO. What restrictions, if any, should there be on food truck operation in downtown Toledo? Regular health department regulations and any safety regulations that may apply Do you find the wildflowers by the Toledo Zoo a hazard and unsightly or a beautiful aesthetic of urban wildlife? * Please include the phrase, “compostable matter” in your answer. They are a valuable habitat for wildlife and a source of beauty. What will you do to avoid another “water crisis”? Get Lake Erie healthy. How necessary is it for the city to fund the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio? If the city is going to put prisoners in it, we should pay. The point is we should be using ways to put fewer people in prison in the first place. What is your stance on the recently approved cannabis ordinance? I dig it. What are your thoughts on the proposed open container entertainment districts? It’s a good idea. What will you do with Toledo’s streets, in 3 words? Pave them ASAP.

Is the Kroger proposed for across from The Notre Dame campus what’s best for Toledo? No. The plan includes not just a significantly larger store but also several lots for additional stores, making the already congested traffic even worse. Also, the zone change which City Council must approve is permanent; if the store ever moved, the new classification permits commercial development much too intense for the area.
cal officials and prepare a plan to resolve the problems. I would implement the suggestions and strongly encourage John Kasich, other Great Lakes governors and Canadian officials to participate in a joint effort.
What restrictions, if any, should there be on food truck operation in downtown Toledo? They must comply with all health and safety requirements, and must not impede traffic during times and areas of high volume traffic.
What is your stance on the recently approved cannabis ordinance? I am in favor of decriminalizing small amounts and I strongly encourage more research for medicinal uses.
Do you find the wildflowers by the Toledo Zoo a hazard and unsightly or a beautiful aesthetic of urban wildlife? * Please include the phrase, “compostable matter” in your answer. The wildflower selection was not nearly as beautiful or attractive as it could have been. A better selection for that flower “garden” can add significant beauty and color to the Anthony Wayne Trail.

How necessary is it for the city to fund the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio? My concern is where the city will find the money to fund both CCNO and a new county jail. This question needs more thoughtful discussion.
What are your thoughts on the proposed open container entertainment districts? Before giving a “yes” or “no”, I would like to study data from other cities which have adopted similar arrangements, to be comfortable that adjacent residents and businesses were not adversely affected and that there was no increase in crime. What will you do with Toledo’s streets, in 3 words? Significantly improve [them].

Is the Kroger proposed for across from The Notre Dame campus what’s best for Toledo? The best option for the Kroger
expansion would be on its current site. In my early discussions with Kroger I expressed concern for the loss of the trees and the campus like setting. I suggested that the company design a store that could fit into the Notre Dame site’s current campus setting. The store has modified its designs in other communities to meet the request of the community, as well as the company’s needs. It is possible to find a better solution.
What restrictions, if any, should there be on food truck operation in downtown Toledo? There should not be any restrictions on food trucks imposed by the City other than the current health code requirements. The food trucks, moving around downtown this summer, added a great vibe to downtown at lunch time. The trucks took my suggestion and set up in front of Government Center allowing for the people in that part of downtown to be able to patronize the trucks.
Do you find the wildflowers by the Toledo Zoo a hazard and unsightly or a beautiful aesthetic of urban wildlife? * Please include the phrase, “compostable matter” in your answer.
I am more patient than others I knew they would become a “beautiful aesthetic of urban wildlife” in the future. The problem was not having signage explaining that it takes time. It was truly unfortunate that they were cut down too soon and became compostable matter. I applaud the Toledo Zoo staff for their leadership in this.
What will you do to avoid another “water crisis”? This summer, I did just that. By having and reporting the daily testing, in spite of the 10-day testing cycle rule set out by the Ohio EPA, the water was always safe to drink and use from the tap.
How necessary is it for the city to fund the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio?
It is necessary for the city to fund CCNO at its rightful share and the City of Toledo is committed to do just that! Additionally, the funds (taxes) that Lucas County uses for its payment of the jail costs come from Toledo, Lucas County residents, not from non-Toledo, Lucas County residents.
What is your stance on the recently approved cannabis ordinance?
I have directed the law director to represent the City of Toledo to defend against the suit filed by the Ohio Attorney General. The people of Toledo have spoken overwhelmingly through the ballot. As Mayor, it is my responsibility to uphold the will of the people and the laws of the City.
What are your thoughts on the proposed open container entertainment districts?
The open container entertainment districts will be an added bonus and new way for further reviving the entertainment districts. The City of Toledo is fully aware of what must be done to ensure the public safety and well being, while allowing new and innovative developments. I am excited.

Is the Kroger proposed for across from The Notre Dame campus what’s best for Toledo?
While I do not support the current plan for the new Kroger store, I believe we can find a creative solution that meets the needs of the Sisters of Notre Dame, the community and Kroger. I pledge to work to that end. I support wise land use, with sustainable growth as the goal.
What restrictions, if any, should there be on food truck operation in downtown Toledo? A positive first step, rather than to restrict the trucks, is to help them expand their market throughout the city. I have proposed a registry that will be posted on the city’s website, making it easier for neighborhoods, businesses and organizations to include food trucks in their events.
Do you find the wildflowers by the Toledo Zoo a hazard and unsightly or a beautiful aesthetic of urban wildlife? * Please include the phrase, “compostable matter” in your answer. The wildflower display reflects Toledo Zoo’s role in education and conservation. At TEDx Toledo, Ryan Walsh, from Wild Ohio, discussed the role of wildflowers in increasing native pollinators and biodiversity, reversing the 90% reduction in the Monarch Butterfly population, and reducing maintenance costs, while providing an excellent source of compostable matter.
What will you do to avoid another “water crisis”?
Treatment Facility as well as Toledo Waterways Initiative, a $521 million program that will prevent waste water overflow from entering our waterways. Additionally, I will join in advocacy with other communities in the Western Lake Erie Basin.
How necessary is it for the city to fund the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio?
County Commissioners, City of Toledo, Municipal Judges, mental health and addiction service providers are engaged in a collaborative effort, utilizing a MacArthur Grant, to reduce incarceration and transform our criminal justice system. Various reasonable options have been suggested to settle the funding standoff. Swift resolution will ensure that this important process continues and our criminal justice system is stable.
What is your stance on the recently approved cannabis ordinance?
It is my intention to respect the clear will of the people. We need to focus our enforcement energy on opiates. Lives are being lost in our community to opiate addiction.
What are your thoughts on the proposed open container entertainment districts?
Open container districts have been economic development drivers in many cities, however a vigorous community conversation must take place to determine that the district will be beneficial for all stakeholders.

You think you got issues?
Hildo’s choice The most coveted endorsement in town by Johnny Hildo
Just catch a whiff o’ these! Voters statewide will get a chance to reform the way Ohio state legislative districts are drawn-but not Congressional districts. Voters will also get a chance to legalize marijuana for medical and recreational uses-unless the other issue passes, which would nullify it. Get it? OK, here’s the details. STATE ISSUE 1 is seeks to amend the Ohio Constitution, changing the way State House and State Senate districts are drawn. The districts are supposed to be decided every ten years, after the US Census determines population. Currently the 5-member group that draws the districts is composed of the Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor of State (all Republicans), plus one additional Republican and one Democrat. Decisions are made by simple majority, with no legal guidelines. This has resulted in districts drawn to ensure large majorities in both legislative houses for the Republicans.
E
It’s just so crazy, it might work! Let us explain. Folks all over town always want to know. What would Johnny do? Every election, and all social issues in between, we get asked time and time again. WWJD?
State Issue 1 would create a “Bipartisan Redistricting Commission, which would be composed of 7 members, at least two of which would be from the minority party, which, at this time, would mean Democrats. More importantly, approving the district map would require at least one Democratic vote, meaning the 5 Republicans couldn’t push through a map that favors their party. Well, sorta. If the commission deadlocks until September, a simple 4-vote majority of Republicans would still draw the map. But it would only be effective through two rwo-year election cycles, then they’d have to try again.
Usually we just give a wry smile and reply, “Check the column and find out.” But this is a year like no other. This year, there are so many contenders on the ballot you need a program to keep ‘em straight, so here we finally break out with a WWJD feature. Hildo’s endorsement for Mayor of Toledo!
The change would also give legal guidelines for drawing districts. They must be contiguous, compact, and must neither favor nor disfavor a political party. Sounds great, and it’s better than what we have. If it works as written. And we have to wonder, if it’s so great, why doesn’t it apply to US Congressional districts as well? One step at a time, perhaps.
Speaking of odd, let’s start with graffiti-lovin’ Mike Ferner. We keep waiting for the strangeness to spew forth. But instead we hear “fix the damn streets.” Great idea. Ferner sounds a little like a sixty-something crotchety old man. Oh, and he claims he’ll somehow get DC to send all its defense spending dollars our way. You couldn’t levitate the Pentagon in the Sixties, Mike, and you won’t do it now.
STATE ISSUE 3 would change the Ohio Constitution to legalize marijuana in Ohio. Anyone over 21 could grow up to four plants, and possess, use and share their homegrown. Anyone of any age could use medical marijuana. It would set up a business incubator in the Cleveland area, establish research facilities near colleges across the state, and raise tax revenue for local and county governments. It would create a new state agency to regulate the marijuana industry. Over a thousand retail establishments could be set up across the state, with limitations on locating them near schools, day care centers, and the like.
Then there’s Sandy Collins. Wants to keep on the hallowed course of her late husband. Does that mean record-breaking winters, and a 3-day “no drink” order for the water? Seems to us the course of D. Mikey has been overtaken. Isn’t it time for new ideas? Full speed ahead, Cap’n!
For those opposed to prohibition, it sounds great, and better than what we have. Except for one little provision we forgot to mention. It would establish 10 growing facilities, and pre-determine exactly where they go and who owns them. The state government doesn’t like that one bit, even though the casino amendment which passed a few years back did essentially the same thing, with nary a peep from the politicos. The powers that be got really nervous that Issue 3 might pass. So they did two things.
That brings us to our old friend, Carty Finkerstinky. Wants to bring in a bunch of experts to solve our water issues. Which we didn’t have this year, by the way. At least this time Carty is only stuck one year in the past. This guy doesn’t use Twitter or Facebook. Heck, he uses a manual typewriter. To clarify for the kidz out there, you can’t tweet from a Selectric.
First, they placed the word “monopoly” prominently in the ballot language. Then they placed STATE ISSUE 2 on the ballot, and called it the “anti-monopoly” amendment. Issue 2 would not only prevent any ballot initiative that is deemed to create a monopoly, passage of Issue 2 would also nullify Issue 3 directly. So even if Issue 3 wins by a wide margin, it would be null and void if Issue 2 passes. There are a few local issues on the ballot, including school levies in Oregon (Issue 9) and Ottawa Hills (Issue 10) and a senior center levy in Sylvania and Sylvania Township (Issue 5). One county-wide issue of note is ISSUE 11, a renewal levy for the Toledo Zoo. Not a new tax, it would renovate the old tunnel under the Anthony Wayne Trail, renovate and reimagine the Museum of Science, and provide new, interactive exhibits for the tigers and hippos. It would also allow for major repairs and renovations throughout the zoo. Sounds great, and better than what we have!

! D E S NDOR
Same ol’, same ol’ Now don’t get all excited. We will calmly and dispassionately break down the basic platform of each candidate, then decide who would make Toledo edgy and odd enough to make us proud.
No thanks. And no thanks to the other Sandy, either. Talk about a new direction! Sandy Spang wants a different way to cobble together the city budget! What fun and forward-thinking hi-jinks! Come to Toledo, cats and chicas, we gots new budget planning!
Mikey Bellbottoms is a playuh, and who doesn’t like that? His big campaign idea? Stability. Boy, talk about inspiration! But a balanced budget is a unique concept. Paula HH has brought some steadiness and adult leadership to the 22nd floor. She’s also has had some interesting economic development ideas in her few months as Mayor. Industrial park in Southwyck, yeah, sure. But how about a dinosaur park! And a water park! And an amusement park! And tourists from hither and yon making Toledo Fun City USA!
What Johnny would do Now that’s an idea we can endorse. Open container area on Adams Street. Entertainment district downtown. Arts on Main Street. Public murals. Empty lot pop-up parks. What else you got? Let’s get strange, Toledo! Maybe not voice-of-God Opal strange, but off-the-wall slap-in-duh-face whacky! That’s what Johnny would do. Vote for whoever. But make it odd!

ROAD SIDE
Rolling Into New Territory:
Phil Barone keeps the food truck spirit alive in Toledo and neighboring suburban cities by Michael Pierce The food truck revolution in Toledo began in the summer of 2013, when thenMayor Mike Bell allowed Phil Barone, owner of Rosie’s Rolling Chef, to set up shop at Levis Square (on St. Clair near Madison in downtown Toledo). Citing Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, Bell took notice that “The more progressive cities have this type of thing going on, and it’s just great for the city. The question was why aren’t we doing it?” The two made the agreement on a handshake, and the Rolling Chef began to set up on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Barone was just the first of many food trucks who would quickly follow. “By the time we got into the fall of 2013, we had other trucks showing up. It caught on very quickly,” says Bell.
Taming the flames
By the summer of 2014 the excitement of the food truck explosion was in full swing. This fire, however, was tamed when the late Mayor Collins attempted to pass legislation that would restrict food truck operations in downtown Toledo. Encouraged by downtown stakeholders and brick-andmortar restaurant owners, the proposed legislation was met with opposition from food truck supporters. The truck owners were left in a difficult situation. Unfortunately for them, their initial agreement was just an informal handshake between Bell and Barone. “{[That] just doesn’t hold water anymore,” says Bill Burkett, commissioner for the Department of Development. Because no one anticipated just how many trucks would come on the scene, the sudden increase in businesses caused a rift with existing, brick-and-mortar restaurants in the area. And according to Burkett, “The City of Toledo isn’t in charge of who can park there. I can’t even park at a [ParkSmart] parking meter with my city card in the window without getting a ticket.” Phone calls and messages left with ParkSmart went unreturned. ParkSmart still bags the meters on Thursdays in the summer for the downtown “Lunch at Levis” events, providing free parking. However, they stopped bagging them on Tuesdays, making it too difficult for the trucks to set up shop. Dave Ball, president of STS Properties & Facilities Management, owns several of the buildings that house downtown brickand-mortar restaurants in this area. To Ball, it is clear:, “If the food trucks want to be a part of the progress in Toledo, they should be sympathetic to the brick-andmortar restaurants. The solution that
www.toledocitypaper.com
we’ve arrived at, [which is] allowing the trucks to have one day a week in any market, can be a real positive thing for downtown.”
Seeking Out The Suburbs
While other downtown locations— including Jackson Street, the Main Library, and in front of the courthouse— have proven mildly successful for the trucks, in 2015 the suburban areas began receiving a lot of the attention. “We are being welcomed with open arms to Maumee”, says Barone. “We do Wednesdays in Arrowhead Park, and it’s been very successful. We also do Food Truck Fridays on Conant and East Wayne near St. Paul’s. With the trucks and the live music, the people are having fun, and It’s bringing more people out to Maumee.” Ty Szumigala of the Maumee Uptown Business Association shares Barone’s enthusiasm: “Food Truck Fridays went very well,” Szumigala explains. “[The events] had a lot of support and we plan
Hungry patrons line up to grab quick, delicious food from Rosie’s Rolling Chef, one of he first food trucks to set up in downtown Toledo. on doing [them]again next year. The bars didn’t complain to us at all. They were happy because it got people out and walking around.” This sentiment is echoed by Jim Berger, chair of the Arrowhead Park Association, who says that they “Had six to eight trucks every Wednesday, and [we] averaged about 400 people every week. We definitely want to do it again next year.” It seems that the vibe Bell and Barone were once trying to create for downtown Toledo has been easily spread out to the suburban cities. “We’re also talking with Perrysburg and Sylvania about having food truck days there as well,” says Barone.
Also new for this year is the launch of toledofoodtrucks.com - the official homepage of the Toledo Food Truck Association. Now everyone can find out exactly where their favorite food truck will be for the day. “We all get along. We have food truck meetings at Rosie’s. In other cities they tend to fight amongst themselves, and I didn’t want that to happen. So I started holding meetings last year, and now we have the website,” says Barone.
It’s never to early to think about the holidays!

WEDDING Guide A quarterly guide where local brides share their weddings, tips and favorite vendors with our readers.
Andrea & Zach 06.27.15 Zach and I met one night in the hospital Emergency Room. I was finishing nursing school and job shadowing, and he was working as a nurse on a trauma case. We both recognized each other as we made eye contact across the room, realizing that our paths had crossed before. It was an instant connection that neither of us could deny! A few weeks later, we met up for some St. Patrick’s Day fun which became the beginning of our love story. Later on, I returned home from a long day at work and Zach proposed to me with tulips in hand and our favorite song playing in the background. It was so perfect… so unexpected, a special moment shared just the two of us. Zach looked at me and said, “I never understood crying out of happiness until now.” Overall, the vendors and local professionals we used for our wedding helped us tell our story. We live in and love downtown Toledo and wanted to share that Toledo experience with all our guests.

We wanted a venue that was different, but also special to us. Both living and working in downtown Toledo, it was important to us to show our love for downtownn in our wedding venue choice. In a space that formerly was an old hotel, Registry Bistro, is now a restored art gallery/restaurant with historical significance. It is a great blend of old-world class and modern sophistication, complete with a ballroom. It became the perfect spot for our ceremony and catered wedding. The open pallette of warm wood and stone colored walls was beautiful. Our cocktail hour was held in the art gallery, right outside the ceremony reception area. Guests were able to mingle and we were able to greet everyone who came. For dining, Registry Bistro provided a fantastic cold soup. The rest of the dinner was served familystyle, and we enjoyed gnocchi, beef brisket, fish and vegetables. We knew the food was going to be great as we had dined in the restaurant many times before.

I ended up finding my dress at David’s Bridal, a Vera Wang gown in exactly my size from the White Collection. We continued with Vera Wang bridesmaid dresses and slim cut Vera Wang tuxedos from Men’s Warehouse for the guys. The bridesmaid dresses were floor length strapless peplum-style with a mixture of stone-colored chiffon and satin.

Dzia’s Irish Pub brings the luck A new pub with old traditions by Alan Leizerman
When Mike and Chelle Zoltanksi outgrew their at-home bar, they bought the old Trotter’s locale at the corner of Heatherdowns and Reynolds Road and turned it into a salute to the Fighting Irish. Installing an impressive selection of beer taps and whiskies, glowing plasma screen TVs, and a modest kitchen they brought Dzia’s Irish Pub to Toledo’s south end. “The idea started in our backyard in 1998,” says Chelle. “We invited a few friends over, put a big screen TV on the picnic table and watched Notre Dame football. It went from a few couples to almost 50 people in no time!”
The pints, the pints are calling

While the band was setting up on the corner stage, I was welcomed by a beer and food menu at a comfortable seat at the bar. With over a dozen beer taps at Dzia’s and a cooler stocked with a large selection of regional microbrews, assorted ciders and domestic favorites, it is also important to note that the friendly bartenders know how to pour a proper pint of Guinness. Expect to wait a few minutes while it settles before enjoying your pint. The dinner menu offers traditional Irish pub fare like Shepherd’s Pie (lamb and vegetables in a brown gravy beneath whipped potatoes), boxty (fried potato patties served with sour cream), and of course, corned beef sandwiches. They

also serve tasty pizzas, salads, wings, and burgers, all with a wee bit of Irish flavor. Dzia’s has a gluten-free kitchen, ordering all of their baked goods from local bakeries. The pub also has special food and drink events, most recently a Steak and Whiskey Night where guests enjoy a meal and a selection of whiskies, with cigars offered on the back patio.
Sights and sounds
Local musician Johnny Rodriguez manages the stage for open mic nights where musicians, comedians, poets and unique solo acts perform. Besides the open mic nights, they host a range of performers from blues and rock to big band jazz and traditional Irish sounds. And for St. Patrick’s Day? “We’re hoping to get the Hibernian’s (Toledo’s Irish/American foundation) on board for a parking lot party and Irish festival here at the pub,” Chelle said. In the meantime, Dzia’s Irish Pub will be the headquarters for traditional Irish pub food and drink and for following Notre Dame Fighting Irish football. 4pm-midnight Sunday-Thursday, 4pm2am Friday & Saturday.

THE ORIGINAL
The three one-act plays, Fix, Dolls and Pink, are based on nightmares written in the dream journals of the playwrights, Megan Aherne and Edmund B. Lingan. The terror of Halloween is quickly approaching. With Glacity Theatre Collective’s upcoming production of “Nightmares Come in Threes,� both horror and theater lovers can experience a unique production, sure to leave everyone satisfyingly scared.
Risky business Glacity Theatre Collective, a nonprofit theatre company that started productions in 2007, prides itself in creating thought-provoking and high-quality performances. Tying unusual and often lesser-performed plays in with original works, this unconventional company wants audiences to be surprised by their staged risk taking. For the third year in a row, GTC presents an original Halloween special, this year featuring three shows in one production. Nightmares Come in Threes is made up of three 20-minute original oneact plays, with each segment inspired by its playwright’s own nightmares.
A freaky fun time Megan Aherne, one of the two writer/ directors for the production, has been with GTC since the inception of these annual horror productions. Having co-written and co-directed the past two plays, For the Devil Tells Me So and The Satanarium, she has high expectations for this year’s show, claiming “the greatest
reward for doing shows like this is when audience members come to me and say ‘I’ve never seen anything like this before in my life’.� The first one-act, “Fix�, focuses on a moment in the life of a drug pusher. Aherne describes it as, “a bloody, campy, wild ride of a show reminiscent of the drug deal scene from ‘Boogie Nights’.� The second one-act, “Dolls�, is also written/directed by Aherne and showcases a deranged man who is obsessed with baby dolls. Lastly, “Pink�, written/directed by Edmund Lingan, is a cartoon-like musical full of rituals and furries— a subculture of people who enjoy dressing up as stuffed animals. Further pushing boundaries, Nightmares Come in Threes will incorporate audience interaction. Actors might call up an audience member to join them onstage. “I hope the audience has a freaky, fun time,� states Aherne, “with these performances, we’re not seeking some kind of catharsis, but rather an unexpected, completely different experience than a traditional theatre or haunted house.� Nightmares Come in Threes is 18+, for violence, language, partial nudity, and mature content. 8pm October 23, 24, 30 & 31. $15.

INFINITE ART
House of Leaves author makes a stop in the Glass City by Jon Ruggiero
TATTOO
This Danielewski drawing, by Carole Anne Pecchia, adorns the back cover of The Familiar.
3930 Secor Rd | www.iatattoo.com | 419-292-1990
Changing the page
House of Leaves author, Mark Z. Danielewski, visits Toledo on November 4th. If you’ve never heard of the author or his book, you’re missing out on a great literary puzzle maker, as his books are not so much novels as they are cryptographic, multi-layered stories that will leave you thinking long after you’ve closed the back cover. House of Leaves, Danielewski’s debut novel from 2000, treats every page like a canvas. Twists and turns throughout the story are mirrored by the physical writing. Words, in various colors, are repeated throughout the book. Entire pages contain single words or letters, and many passages have footnotes that relate to other books and movies that may not even exist. Add to that the multiple stories going on within the novel, and you come to realize how vastly different Danielewski views the medium of literature and what he can do with it.
The unfamiliar in The Familiar Danielewski visit is to promote his current work, The Familiar. The first part of the 27-book series, titled One Rainy Day in May, came out in May 2015, while volume two, Into The Forest, releases October 27. The Familiar is yet another piece of literary art that Danielewski fans will enjoy. In particular, a passage early in
the text is an ideal place to start to understand Danielewski’s approach to storytelling. The passage, called Tom’s Crossing takes place over a few pages as the narrator relates his last few moments with an old friend named Tom. As the story jumps from memories of Tom to present day, the reader is presented with a list of Tom’s medical stats, such as the readings of a heart monitor. As the narrator tells his tale we see Tom slowly pass away. Keep in mind, this is just part of the prologue. The main book itself, concerning several stories that take place in one day, has everything from fisheyelense text to raindrops represented by a repetition of the phrase, “How many raindrops?� , to a few pages where the paper stock is different than the rest of the book.

Zombie Crawl Turns 6
Locations:
The undead keep walking by Dorian Slaybod
Ten thousand zombies will meet downtown on Adams Street on Saturday, October 24— or, rather, 10,000 people dressed as zombies. They will come from Detroit, and Pittsburgh, and Cleveland to run in a zombie 5k, compete in a costume contest, dance to live (er, dead) music, and (playfully) terrorize the five bars between 12th and 21st streets in Uptown, a downtown neighborhood that, like the Zombie Crawl, keeps growing every year.
From one to 10,000
Six years ago, the five bars on Adams Street— Wesley’s, Manhattan’s, The Attic, Ottawa Tavern and Bretz— lacked a unifying event. So, Ryan Bunch, a member of the Arts Commission and resident of the Old West End, decided to organize an ad hoc zombie crawl, a Halloween-themed costume party on the move. Through Facebook invitations and word of mouth, Bunch expected 200 people to meet at Wesley’s. Instead, 750 zombiephiles arrived. Bunch, surprised but excited, took a megaphone, stood on a chair, and shouted for the crawl to begin. At the inaugural event, most zombies stayed in character as they walked from
www.toledocitypaper.com
place to place, with open ‘wounds’ exposed, and clothing ripped and tattered. People walked with dead-eye stares and legs dragging like the characters for Michael Jackson’s Thriller. And the number who attend has continued to grow each year— to 7,000 last year. The costumes are still inventively grisly, with wood axes as a popular accessory, but the vibe is now less scary and more celebratory. According to Bunch, “It gave the neighborhood something to rally around.” For Bunch, the turning point for the zombie crawl, where it went from a homemade get-together to a sanctioned city celebration, came in 2013. Five thousand people showed up that year, and early in the evening then-Mayor Mike Bell, stood up behind the DJ booth at Wesley’s as Bunch had stood the very first year. Bell was dressed like an undead biker, with leather jacket and haunted eyes. And as everyone looked up, teeming to take the streets, the Mayor of Toledo shouted, “Zombies, let’s ride!” The crawl had finally found official endorsement. “It was total validation for how wonderfully absurd this event had become,” said Bunch.
Wesley’s - 1201 Adams St. Manhattans - 1516 Adams St. The Attic on Adams - 1701 Adams St. Ottawa Tavern - 1815 Adams St. Bretz - 2012 Adams St. Georgjz (formerly The Moxie) will have a one-time only soft opening - 1205 Adams St. Toledo School for the Arts will provide zombie make up in exchange for a donation. Glass City Cafe is open from midnight-5am for late night breakfast.
The Village on Adams
The Zombie Crawl is now organized by the Village on Adams, a non-profit organization that formed last year to help redevelop the Adams Street neighborhood. With the five dollar admission fee charged at last year’s crawl, the group converted a vacant lot into a bocce ball court, and helped fund several murals. “The money goes back into the Adams Street,” said the Village’s Executive Director, Adam Sattler. Sattler wants to make the daytime portion of the event more family-friendly. This year will showcase the first 5k Zombie Fun Run, and students from the Toledo School for the Arts (members of the neighborhood from the school at 14th and Adams) will provide zombie makeovers outside the school grounds. And there will be a costume contest, which will

In past years, I’ve dressed as a harmless zombie (Bernie from Weekend at Bernie’s) and more serious zombies (a mix between Beetlejuice and Night of the Living Dead), and friendly strangers approached me to discuss my costume each time. The nights, though, will be left for the walking dead. There will be a tent on 14th Street, filled with beer, music and dancing. Maumee Bay Brewing Company has created a special beer for the event called “Jefferson Lives,” which were allegedly President John Adams’s last words before he died. After 7pm is when “all hell breaks loose,” said Sattler. But Sattler’s team of 25 security, 75 volunteers, and rotating cleaning crew will ensure a contained chaos. The evening’s macabre is tonguein-cheek, the thrashed costumes just an excuse to get together as a community. It is Toledo’s fastest-growing party in a neighborhood that is growing along with it. Village on Adams board member, Mel Prior, told me, “It keeps exceeding expectations every year.”

STYLE SENSE Style Sense: Rodell Fullilove, Jr. by Angela Conley
Age: 26 Occupation: Visual Merchandiser at Forever 21/Clothing Consignor
Rodell Fullilove, Jr.
has a creative style that’s undefinable, which makes it even more distinctive. Encouraged by his mother at a young age to test the fashion waters, he’s sailed into a style that captures his free-spirited nature, with his looks exhibiting a skillful coordination of texture, color and thrift store scores, which he resells at kingscove.bigcartel.com.
How would you describe your style?
Unique, one-of-a-kind… my mom always told me to… wear what you want to wear even if it’s not something that everyone

else will wear. Just go against the grain if you like it… my mom didn’t dress me as a kid. She let me dress myself, so I probably looked crazy for a while until I actually learned a little bit about style.
You don’t like being closed in.
I don’t like being put in a box at all or being told what I’m able to wear. That’s why I really disliked uniforms in school. I was always trying to find a way around it, like I’d wear my polo shirt and wear a collared shirt underneath… I was just trying to dress it up in some way.
Your Kings Cove website— is that just thrifted clothing?
It’s all clothes that I find… through the surrounding areas of Toledo. Go see what the thrift stores are offering and pick out little things… I have a closet full of jackets. I have leather jackets, old vintage Nike jackets and stuff like that. I even have women’s clothes. I like a lot of blouses and patterns.
What specific stores do you like shopping at?
...Goodwill is one of my favorites because they aren’t too pricey..In terms of the big stores, I love shopping at Forever 21 because they have a wide range of clothing styles... for shoes I love Aldo.
Are there any celebrities or icons that have influenced your style?
Lenny Kravitz; I really like the way he dresses. I like the way Pharrell dresses. André 3000; I like his suits. When I dress up, I like to be nice and fitted like that.
If you could possess one style superpower, what would it be?
To help people bring out their style, their individual style… Maybe push them outside their box a little bit, because you know how some people get stuck in there... I wouldn’t want to try dressing anybody like me, unless they wanted to.
