The LisT

prEdicTions for ThE 61sT annual Grammy awards • “This is America” (Childish Gambino)

By Erica Thompson The 61st annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast on Sunday, Feb. 10. With the show’s history of social and political agendas, suspected racism and sexism, and general mistakes (I will forever be mad about Macklemore & Ryan Lewis wining over Kendrick Lamar), who knows what the hell is going to happen this year. But here are my guesses and wishes regarding the main categories.

Cardi B ery, which is absolutely infectious. Everyone knows this song, from my mother to my pre-teen niece, who doesn’t speak Spanish but can recite the foreign language on the track perfectly.

Will win: The Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper duet “Shallow” already took Best Original Song at the Golden Globes. And given her best actress nomination there — and at the upcoming Academy Awards — it appears 2018 was the year of the Lady Gaga comeback.

Album of the Year • Invasion of Privacy (Cardi B) • By the Way, I Forgive You (Brandi Carlile) • Scorpion (Drake) • H.E.R. (H.E.R) • Beerbongs & Bentleys (Post Malone) • Dirty Computer (Janelle Monae) • Golden Hour (Kacey Musgraves) • Black Panther (Various artists)

My pick: I distinctly remember hating “I Like It” the first time I heard it, but as of February 2019, I … like it (sorry). I think it’s a combination of pervasiveness and Cardi B’s personality/deliv-

Will win: Kacey Musgraves has been a darling of the Grammy Awards in the country category, and I can see this year being her breakthrough in the most prestigious category of the night with Golden Hour.

phoTo By Evan aGosTini/invision/ap, filE

Record of the Year • “I Like It” (Cardi B) • “The Joke” (Brandi Carlile) • “This is America” (Childish Gambino) • “God’s Plan” (Drake) • “Shallow” (Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper) • “All the Stars” (Kendrick Lamar & SZA) • “Rockstar” (Post Malone) • “The Middle” (Zedd)

Will win: “Shallow” will take the award. Never underestimate the level of investment in a strategic “comeback.”

My pick: Never mind the success of her No. 1 hit, “I Like It.” Cardi B’s entire Invasion of Privacy album charted on the Hot 100. Certified double-platinum and debuting at No. 1, the project set multiple records. And I can’t recall another female rapper other than Lauryn Hill to be nominated for Album of the Year. While Invasion of Privacy may not have the cultural significance of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (which took the honor in 1999), Cardi B’s effort is critically acclaimed and catchy as hell. Song of the Year • “All the Stars” (Kendrick Lamar & SZA) • “Boo’d Up” (Ella Mai) • “God’s Plan” (Drake) • “In My Blood” (Shawn Mendes) • “The Joke” (Brandi Carlile) • “The Middle” (Zedd) • “Shallow” (Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper)

My pick: Carlile’s song “The Joke” exhibits the best songwriting in this category and deserves the win. And man, can she sing. Best New Artist • Chloe X Halle • Luke Combs • Greta Van Fleet • H.E.R. • Dua Lipa • Margo Price • Bebe Rexha • Jorja Smith Will win: Let’s be clear: I don’t know most of these people. Upon a quick Google search, I’ve ruled out Greta Van Fleet (hated by the internet), Luke Combs and Margo Price. I liked one song by Dua Lipa, but I’m not invested, and I can only take so much of Bebe Rexha’s voice. I’ve been hearing great things about “H.E.R.,” and the R&B singer’s catalogue seems in line with the moody music the kids are craving today. If the Grammys want to go for the artistic pick, I think she’s a safe bet. That leaves… My pick: Chloe X Halle were signed by Beyonce, which could secure them the win off the bat. However, I just pulled up their performance of “America the Beautiful” at the Super Bowl and … wow!

Multiple women accuse Actual Brewing founder Fred Lee of sexual assault ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, February 7, 2019

By andy downing

Natalie Phillips said the first time Actual Brewing founder Fred Lee attempted to force himself on her, she managed to ward him off.

It was late summer 2018, and Phillips said she had just accepted a position to work as a sales rep for Actual, growing the market for the beer in Dayton, where she lives. The two had spent the evening celebrating her addition to the company with dinner and drinks, returning afterward to join others at the Actual Brewing taproom

on the East Side of Columbus, where Phillips intended to retire to what some staff members have termed the “sleep it off” room — a small space in the brewery equipped with a bed. She said she awoke around 4 a.m. with Lee on top of her, his hands down her pants. “I yelled at him: ‘Stop touching me! Get off of me! This is never go-

“It should be made clear, Mr. Lee is only stepping down to focus his effort on defending his reputation against the false and scurrilous accusations leveled against him.” WILLIaM a. SettIna, Fred Lee’S attorney

Mira Lee wrote that “while the bulk of these claims are entirely unsubstantiated, we have to listen when people tell us that the corporate culture of Actual Brewing has not been comfortable and welcoming to everyone,” adding that the company would institute a formal sexual harassment training and reporting program. Mira Lee also noted that Nicole Felter would be taking over as acting CEO; Fred Lee would still maintain ownership of the brewery. Lee’s attorney Settina, responding via email to a request for comment, said while it is true Lee has agreed to step down as CEO, the internal email announcing the decision was not authored by Fred Lee or cleared by his legal counsel. “The part of the statement that reads ‘while the bulk of the claims are unsubstantiated’ is inaccurate, and unintentional,” he wrote. “It should be made clear, Mr. Lee is only stepping down to focus his effort on defending his reputation against the false and scurrilous accusations leveled against him. The decision to step down during this time is in no way an admission of guilt to any accusation of sexual assault or harassment.” In a series of interviews with Alive, women, former employees and professionals associated with the craft brewing industry described incidents of unwanted sexual advances and sexual assault and harassment by Lee, 41, who opened Actual in 2012. In the course of reporting, Alive talked to eight women who said they were assaulted or harassed by Lee, three companies whose representatives say they no longer do business with Actual due to Lee’s behavior, four former Actual

Brewing employees who observed his behavior firsthand, and 10 individuals who were either directly told by Lee’s accusers about the assaults and harassment, or offered supporting details on background. Initially, Phillips walled herself off from her experiences. She told herself that she shouldn’t have been drinking with Lee, and that she wouldn’t have to see him often while working from Dayton. As a single mother, she needed the paycheck. Somehow, she could find a way to make it work. Then, on Oct. 11, Lee asked Phillips to pick up some pews from a church in Springfield and deliver them to Actual Brewing Clintonville, which was under construction. (The space, located at 2808 N. High St., officially opened to the public in late January, making it the brewery’s second Columbus location.) After completing the delivery, Phillips said Lee’s wife, Mira, asked Phillips to give Fred a ride home. Amid stop-and-go rush hour traffic on Route 315, Phillips said she again found herself cornered. “He starts rubbing between my legs … and then he pulls his dick out and starts talking about his pre-cum, about how I like to take it,” Phillips said. “I thought when we got [to his house] he was seriously going to pull me out of the truck.” On Monday, Oct. 15, Phillips said she reported the assaults to a co-worker at Actual, sales associate Anthony Perry, who confirmed the exchange in a phone call with Alive. Perry then relayed the accusations to head brewer and de facto chief operating officer Chris Moore. After meeting

with Phillips in Dayton, Moore said he filed a formal complaint with Actual’s advisory board, which includes John Estep and Kyle Andrews, in addition to Lee. Estep and Andrews then made an unsuccessful attempt to oust Lee from the brewery, according to Moore (Estep and Andrews would not comment on this particular detail). At that point, Moore, who started at Actual in September 2013, said he resigned from the company in support of Phillips. “I’m an advocate for Natalie and her voice,” Moore said. In a statement emailed to Alive in response to a request for comment, Estep and Andrews, who serve on the advisory board in a voluntary capacity and have no authority over day-to-day operations of the brewery, said the board became aware that an employee filed a complaint about misconduct by a member of Actual Brewing in November 2018. “Given the nature of the allegations, the Advisory Board took steps to initiate an ongoing independent investigation,” the statement reads, in part. “Representatives of Actual Brewing, LLC approved the Advisory Board taking these steps and Actual Brewing, LLC has fully cooperated during the pendency of the internal investigation.” On Oct. 30, Phillips filed a report with the Columbus Division of Police accusing Lee of sexual assault. Lee has not been charged. On Dec. 17, Phillips also lodged a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, confirmation of which was shared with Alive. In addition, Phillips shared a letter from EEOC dated Jan. 29 that acknowledged receipt of her complaint and noted that a copy of the charge was sent to the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. According to the letter, if the commission then processes that charge, an investigation would follow. Immediately after she told her coworker about the assault, Phillips said her phone buzzed with a series of text messages from a phone number associated with Lee, which Phillips shared with Alive. (The contact number for Lee in Phillips’ phone matched

ing to happen!” Phillips said in a late January interview. Lee stopped immediately and left the room, Phillips said. Driving back to Dayton the next morning, Phillips, 40, who has had a long career in the beer industry, chalked up the experience as yet another in a long line of harassments and indignities that numerous women interviewed for this story described as endemic to the profession. Phillips said that on Friday, Sept. 14, she returned to Columbus to finalize the details of the new position prior to her start the following Monday. Lee again suggested a celebration, Phillips said, and she obliged, taking comfort in the fact that two other women would be joining them for dinner. The four shared a couple of bottles of wine during the meal, afterwards moving to a bar where Phillips ordered a Captain Morgan and Coke. Her next recollection is of Lee on top of her, having sex with her inside Actual’s East Side taproom, she said. Via email, Lee declined comment on what he termed “recent false allegations of sexual assault,” referring Alive to his attorney, William A. Settina, who provided Alive with an emailed statement on Tuesday, Feb. 5. “Fred Lee denies that he forced himself upon anyone at any time,” Settina wrote. “The claims leveled against Fred are unfounded and dubious at best. If anyone has such a claim, let them come forward to defend that accusation in a court of law.” Phillips filed a complaint with Columbus police in October accusing Lee of sexual assault. Actual’s advisory board said it is investigating complaints of harassment, and late Tuesday, Feb. 5, a staff-wide email from Lee’s wife and Actual co-owner Mira Lee circulated in which it was announced that Lee would voluntarily step down as CEO, effective immediately, “out of concern for the impact that the accusations and investigation will surely have on livelihoods and day-to-day responsibilities of our 37 team members.” In the email, which multiple sources shared with Alive,

I’m on your team. Seriously. Please forgive me. I’m so very sorry.” When Phillips declined to respond, another message followed the next day: “I’m sick to my stomach over this.”

Dispatch Magazines publisher Ray Paprocki, written after Actual was disinvited from Alive’s Jan. 26 Bands to Watch concert upon receipt of the police report in which Lee was accused of sexual assault (Actual had been signed on as a sponsor for the event), Lee said he had done nothing wrong. “This campaign against me while opening my new restaurant has been started by my competitors,” he wrote, in part. “There was no misconduct and the lies that continue are creating more problems for me and my employees.” Following up Lee’s message to Paprocki at the time, Settina, Lee’s lawyer, wrote that “the criminal allegation was clearly without merit” and that the case had been “closed for insufficient evidence.” In a late-January phone call with Alive, however, CPD Det. Joshua Martin said that the case had been classified as inactive, not closed, meaning it could be revisited if new evidence is found. Phillips’ experiences with Lee resonated with some women in the Columbus beer and restaurant communities, as well as former Actual staffers. In the early spring of 2012, Faith Pierce, co-owner of Yellow Brick Pizza, said she met with Lee at Actual Brewing at 655 N. James Rd., ostensibly to talk about hosting the brand launch for Actual at Yellow Brick in Olde Towne East. But it wasn’t long before Pierce said Lee changed the subject. “He said, ‘I’m in an open relationship,’ and then he said something to the effect that he wanted to [screw] me all

over his brewery,” Pierce said. She said Lee then slid his hand up her dress and attempted to kiss her. “I immediately backed away, like, ‘This is not going to happen,’ and he didn’t really understand why,” Pierce said. “I couldn’t think of any other excuses, so I was like, ‘Look, I don’t think you’re attractive. Actually, I think you’re kind of ugly.’” Pierce said she left and immediately told her then-husband and current business partner Bob Silver about what had transpired. (Silver confirmed in a phone call with Alive that Pierce shared the details of the encounter with him immediately after it happened.) In part because of this, Yellow Brick does not carry Actual’s beers, joining some other businesses that include St. James Tavern and the Hills Market Downtown, where Wine and Cheese Director Amanda Anderson, who also heads up beer purchasing, said she has repeatedly informed Actual sales reps that her decision to not stock the beer is tied directly to its founder’s behavior toward women. “They hired one sales rep who was really persistent. … Eventually, I said, ‘Look, I’ve heard stories for years about Fred sexually harassing people, sending inappropriate pictures, and as a recipient of that myself from other people in the alcohol industry, I don’t want to support that at all,’” Anderson said. Michael Ortiz said he experienced these exchanges from the other side in the 18 months he worked at Actual beginning in the early spring of 2014, the tail end of it as head of sales. “There were [businesses] that wouldn’t even meet with me,” he said. “There were places that I’d come and sit down, and when we started to talk they’d be like,

‘Oh, you’re with Actual? … I’m sorry. I can’t do it.’ And I would kind of poke around: ‘Does this have something to do with Fred?’ And every single time it was, ‘Oh, yeah. He used to hit on my girlfriend,’ or, ‘He used to say horrible things to me, and I don’t want to work with that company.’ And every time I was like, ‘I completely understand.’”

PIerce’s exPerIences are

mirrored in the accounts of multiple women, who said they often would be drawn to the brewery under the pretense of job opportunities, only to be cornered and accosted by Lee. Julia Sivertson said she met Lee in late 2011 or early 2012, when she worked in the Beer & Spirits department in Weiland’s Market. Sivertson is friends with Max Lachowyn, a brewer who was involved in the opening of Actual, so she started hanging around the brewery as it was being built out, hoping to land a role in sales, or to at least learn more about an industry and a craft about which she was growing increasingly passionate. (Lachowyn confirmed Sivertson’s visits in a phone call with Alive.) According to Sivertson, Lee started making promises — “He’d be like, ‘Oh, you’re going to be my sales manager … and here’s how we’re going to break down the salary,’” she said — none of which materialized. Then, one night in 2012, she said Lee texted her when she was out with friends at a campus bar, Village Idiot, and Sivertson invited him to join the group. At one point in the evening, Sivertson said Lee cornered her outside and propositioned her to have sex on the patio. She said

“It’s been this deep, dark secret in the industry so long. nobody is doing anything about it. nobody says anything. nobody does anything.” natalIe PhIllIPs

he then pulled out his phone and showed her a picture of an erect penis before grabbing her buttocks and attempting to pull her close. Sivertson said she managed to wriggle free and rejoin her friends. Later, Sivertson said, Lee sent her a text asking her to come by Actual so that he could apologize in person. Sivertson said then-brewers Lachowyn and Rob Camstra were present at the time but were not in the room when Lee, according to Sivertson, bypassed an apology, grabbed her face and forced his tongue into her mouth. She slapped him and left, telling a friend about the encounter long after. (The friend confirmed in an independent interview with Alive that Sivertson had shared the story.) Kathryn Hille, who for a time worked at a business adjacent to Actual, gave a similar account of Lee groping her under her skirt and forcibly attempting to kiss her in the brewery space. She said she responded by kicking him in the groin. (Hille shared the account with a friend, who confirmed details in a phone call.) Later, Hille said, Lee asked her to lunch to talk about the possibility of taking a sales job with Actual. Hille said that, while driving, he groped her breasts and attempted to put his hands between her legs. When the two arrived at the restaurant, Hille said she excused herself to use the washroom, locating an employee who was able to escort her out through a staff entrance. Hille said she left her jacket at the table where Lee was seated; she never retrieved it. Prior to the 2012 opening of Actual, Massie Lawson, who currently works as a bar industry consultant, said she was invited to the brewing space under the guise of advising Lee on building out a sales program. When she arrived, she discovered a brewery that was still far from production, and a founder who appeared dismissive of her legitimate business questions. “I was like, ‘What capacity are you going to be? What size barrelage?’ [He said,] ‘I’m not sure.’ I’m like, ‘Dude, if you don’t know these things, why do

Some ActuAl employeeS

said they experienced harassment by Lee. Kayla McGuire, who worked at Actual from 2014 to 2016, most of it as taproom manager, said Lee’s behavior was so consistently upsetting that she started to document certain actions in a journal, which she shared with Alive. Most of the log was kept purposely vague, she said, but a handful of the entries offer glimpses into the harassment. These include: Thursday, November 12, 2015 It was brought to my attention that Fred made inappropriate and vulgar comments to the owner of our visiting food truck today — apparently he told

Fred lee

her he would “[screw] her straight.” She seemed unbothered, but I followed up with her in an email to apologize. Friday, March 4, 2016 Fred informed me that changes have been made to St. Patty’s Day event without talking to me. He also grabbed his crotch and made a rude gesture in my direction. I tried to brush it off and reminded him that I was wearing steeltoed boots. He said I’d make a good dominatrix and when I didn’t respond, he left the room. Lisa Witkowski, who worked as a sales rep with Actual from August 2017 through January 2018, said in addition to the difficulty of selling the product — “Clients would refuse to do business with you, [saying], ‘Don’t come back here; your owner sent our bartender a dick pic,’” she said — the verbal harassment became a growing strain. Follow-

ing her divorce, Witkowski said, Lee would make regular cracks about being able to “help with her frustration,” implying a lack of sexual activity in her life, according to Witkowski. Due to her experiences, Witkowski, who was once passionate about the brewing industry, no longer has an interest in pursuing a career in it. “It’s been this deep, dark secret in the industry so long,” said Natalie Phillips, who is currently on administrative leave with Actual pending resolution of the internal investigation initiated by the brewery’s advisory board, as confirmed both by Phillips and the statement emailed to Alive by board members. “Nobody is doing anything about it. Nobody says anything. Nobody does anything. And, sadly, you get desensitized to it. … That’s why I started doing all of this. I’m not the first, but I needed to speak up to make sure I’m the last.”

you want to consult on a sales plan?’” Lawson said. “And he’s like, ‘I just wanted to get to know you first. Have a drink.’ And I knew off the rip this dude has no intention of paying me, consulting with me or working with me.” When she left, she called the friend who had set up the meeting, only to hear that Lee had asked for the introduction in hopes of procuring a threesome. (A friend Lawson shared the story with immediately following the incident confirmed these details independently in a phone call with Alive.) Other women detailed instances of verbal and physical assault. Angie Thum recounted one evening out dancing with friends at O’Connor’s Club 20 in August 2017, during which she said Lee came up behind her and forcibly grabbed her breasts in front of numerous witnesses. Drink Up Columbus editor Cheryl Harrison, who was out with the group that night, said via email that she spoke with Thum immediately after that incident, at which point Harrison said she confronted Lee, who she said subsequently admitted the behavior and apologized to Thum. Harrison also wrote that while she has paired with Actual Brewing for events in the past, both with Drink Up Columbus and The Beers & Board Games Club, she would no longer do so as long as Lee remains at the helm of the company. Holly Willer said she crossed paths with Lee around 2014 when she was employed at Gateway Film Center. (At the time, Actual also was a coffee roaster, and Willer had the idea of inviting the brewer/roaster to offer both products during the theater’s 24hour “Groundhog Day” marathon.) The two exchanged phone numbers, and Willer said the next day, after sending her a text message, Lee met her and her friend at a bar. As the night progressed, Willer said, Lee started putting his hand on her thigh and on the small of her back. According to Willer, he then forcibly grabbed her by the wrist and said, “I want to [screw] you into a wheelchair.” (Willer shared

ocated along the Tennessee-North Carolina border — and sometimes under a dense layer of fog— the Great Smoky Mountains are a sight to behold. Each year, a large number of people pass through on the Appalachian Trail (A.T.), which stretches more than 2,000 miles through 14 states, from Georgia to Maine. Standing at 6,643 feet among the Smokies, Clingmans Dome is the literal high point of the trail. But for local hiker Abbie Nypaver, it was a low point in her A.T. adventure, which she completed alone from April to October of last year. “I was low on food,” recalled Nypaver, who completed a “flip flop” hike, traveling from Virginia to Maine, and then from Virginia to Georgia with two weeks off in between. “There are supposed to be great views, and it just rained almost the whole time. … You’re hiking up these mountains and there’s just no reward.” Nypaver said calling her parents helped her through the rough patch. “I knew in my heart of hearts that I didn’t actually want to quit, but in that moment I was like, ‘I’m not enjoying this,’” she said. Growing up in Clintonville, Nypaver loved being

outdoors. Her family went on camping trips in the Zaleski State Forest in Southeast Ohio, and her father even completed the A.T. in the 1970s. Prior to her own trek, her most extensive hike was a four-night backpacking trip through Red River Gorge in Kentucky. “I had a lot of people who were very surprised and concerned about me doing [the A.T.],” Nypaver said. She had her own uncertainties, but prepared herself mentally. “As I was falling asleep in bed at night, I would imagine myself being in miserable situations,” she said, “or think of obstacles that I might run into and how to deal with those.” Overall, Nypaver enjoyed her experience, and will give a talk at Clintonville Outfitters on Thursday, Feb. 7, as part of its “Outdoor Adventure Presentation Series.” “We really want to harbor a community of outdoor adventurists here in Columbus, to celebrate what everyone’s doing here and … inspire each other to go outside,” said Clintonville Outfitters Outdoor Adventure Coordinator Erin Sherrets. “We can talk about being outside [even though] it’s 20 degrees out right now.” Nypaver experienced

The first black bear she saw was a mama bear supervising her cub, which was in a tree. “You’re supposed to make noise to try to scare them,” said Nypaver, who clicked her trekking poles together and yelled. “She ran over closer to the tree. I had a clear path to walk by, but I could still see her,” she said. Though the Smokies didn’t pan out, Nypaver still experienced plenty of breathtaking views, citing the Franconia Range in New Hampshire’s White Mountains as an example. “You were just walking above the tree line,” she said. “Some of the people I was hiking around, they told me it looked like [the mountains] out west,” she said. Next, Nypaver plans to hike the Arizona Trail, which spans 800 miles. Eventually, she’d like to complete the Triple Crown: the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail. “I think [the A.T.] really helped me gain a sense of confidence,” Nypaver said. “[But] not everybody can take five months off and hike a whole 2,000-mile trail. That’s not realistic. So I would encourage people who are out there doing a shorter amount to be proud of that.”

ride-share tax Could Curb lyft and uber exCesses by rob Moore

Last month, ride-share application Lyft released its annual economic impact report. In this report, Lyft concluded that riders spent an additional $17 million in Columbus due to the availability of its services. Meanwhile, controversy swirled last month around studies suggesting that ride-sharing apps were decreasing use of public transportation across the country, and that Lyft and Uber were increasing congestion on college campuses. Typically, the conversation around the impact of Lyft and Uber has split into two camps, mirroring many other public policy debates. In one camp are the people lauding the benefits of the new technology, and in the other are those who focus on its negative consequences. As most issues go, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Of course this new technology is creating value, as anyone who has spent 30 minutes waiting for a cab after the bars close on a cold Saturday can attest. Ride sharing also creates a lot of possibility for first mile/last mile solutions, access to medical care and reducing usage of public parking. On the other hand, ride sharing creates a lot of the same problems that personal cars do. Another car on the road means more congestion. It also means increased emissions, an increased chance of injuries and fatalities due to car crashes and greater wear and tear on public roads. The congestion problem has particularly reared its ugly head in New York City, where average Manhattan car speeds have

slowed to six miles per hour during business hours. Things in Columbus aren’t likely to get that bad. But more cars on the road still means longer commutes, more pollution, more crashes and faster infrastructure degradation. Last year, NYC decided to cap the number of Uber and Lyft vehicles in the city to combat congestion. This is not a best practice of congestion alleviation: A survey of 40 prominent economists last year revealed that they overwhelmingly thought capping ride-sharing services would make residents worse off by arbitrarily restricting public use of ride sharing. Instead, a more effective way to account for the costs of driving not borne by drivers and ridehailers is via a congestion tax. Last week, a new per-ride state fee for ride-share services in Manhattan went into effect. The policy is expected to reduce the number of cars on the road

while raising revenue for improvements to public transit. An even more efficient option would be for all cars to be taxed on a per-mile basis. This way, the negative impacts of personal cars are treated the same as the negative impacts of ride-sharing vehicles. Cars that are on the road more would pay more in proportion with the problems they create. Unfortunately, local governments often have narrowly tailored authorization from the state to collect taxes, so a more limited ride-sharing tax might be easier to justify legally than a broader vehicle tax. On top of this, per-mile pricing presents some obvious logistical issues. If Columbus wants to reap the benefits of ride-sharing while curbing its excesses, a tax is a better option than a cap.

pleasant spring and early summer weather on the northern part of her trip. But by mid-August in the South, she suffered through extreme heat. Each day she followed a routine: Retrieve breakfast she stored in a tree (biscuits or honeybuns), hike, find a cool spot to eat lunch (bagels or spam slices), hike some more, and then cook a dinner of ramen, mac and cheese or instant mashed potatoes using a fuel canister and mini-stove. Every few days, she’d hitchhike into town to go to the store. “Most of the time, the people picking me up were other women or families,” she said. “So I felt pretty comfortable in that situation. There was one time that I did get into someone’s car and then realized that it probably wasn’t a good idea, so I got back out of their car. It just seemed a little sketchy.” For the most part, Nypaver said people living near the A.T. are generous “trail angels,” bringing food and drink — aka “trail magic” — to hikers, or even offering room and board. Additionally, Nypaver acquired “tramily” or trail families along the way. (An estimated 2 to 3 million people hike a portion of the A.T. each year.) “Usually it becomes the people who you’re running into every day at the shelters or your campsite or hostels,” she said. “You have these deep friendships with them because you have shared this experience that not everybody else understands.” There are also plenty of creatures to keep one com-

A single queer person’s politicAl mAnifesto

Valentine’s Day will be upon us soon, with all its unreasonable expectations and crappy chocolate harvested by child labor. Now that it’s easier to find a commercially produced holiday card designed with queer people in mind, there’s more pressure to participate in capitalism’s annual celebration of romantic love than ever before. If you find yourself without a partner this Valentine’s Day, eschew disappointment. Whether you’re proudly asexual, between partners, prioritizing yourself or just plain unlucky in love, you are a member of an emerging demographic that has the potential to demand radical political change. Single queer people could be the threat to the capitalist patriarchal family system that radical activists once imagined queer relationships to be. More Americans in the United States are single than ever before, and that fact could lead to a dramatic reimagining of every aspect of our political economic system. To realize that potential, instead of sliding further into a neoliberal dystopian nightmare, we need to organize. To that end, here is my political agenda for single queer people.

Affordable housing now We need affordable housing, and not just because it sucks to be in your 30s and living with roommates. Rising housing costs make it difficult for domestic violence survivors to leave abusive relationships. Our city should be pursuing policies that prioritize housing access and racial justice, rather than the pipe dreams of developers and gentrifiers. Treat chosen family just as important as romantic relationships. For queer people, our networks of friends, comrades and community members nurture and sustain us even when our families of origin do not. We need to share our resources with each other and make meaningful commitments to each other that are based on types of love besides romance and sexual attraction.

Health care for all I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but no one should have to sleep with someone to be able to go to the doc-

Queer people have long imagined radically different futures. It’s time to expand our political demands beyond the boundaries of romantic love. Single queers, rise up!

tor. High-quality health care should be available for everyone, but single people are insured at a lower rate than their married counterparts. Access to health care should be a human right that isn’t regulated by your love life.

Two Dollar Radio Headquarters Two Dollar Radio Headquarters has quickly become one of my favorite Columbus hot-spots. The Headquarters emerged as an extension of the Two Dollar Radio publishing house. Visit for a wonderful selection of books, coffee or tea, and a bite to eat. The regular menu is great, but it mixed things up with guests like the Village Taco pop-up every Tuesday. Do yourself a favor and check out the calendar of events for everything from author talks to comedy nights and dance parties. Riding my bike Nothing is better than taking your bike on the Alum Creek Trail or cruising along the beautiful Scioto riverfront. Columbus has been taking steps (slowly) to improve the safety experience for city cyclists, as well, which makes zipping around town easy.

Comune I’m not a vegetarian, but I’d recommend this plant-based Parsons Avenue spot to anybody. The atmosphere is modern (lots of white) but cozy (tables that are separated by maybe six inches in the back room), and the food is as creative as it is delicious. The kimchi fried rice is probably my favorite, but the spaghetti squash pasta was like a veggie pad Thai with surprising (and welcome) flavors and textures. And don’t miss the whale sounds in the bathrooms. —Joel Oliphint Thomas Lake Was James Brown murdered? That is the question CNN senior writer Thomas Lake explores in his three-part series, “The Circus Singer and the Godfather of Soul.” I am only halfway through, but I have to applaud Lake’s reporting. Two years ago, a woman contacted him with the allegation. Since then, he “traveled through nine states, read tens of thousands of pages of police and court records, interviewed nearly 140 people” and much more. The piece is also an impressive example of interactive media, with audio, images and court documents.

ight years ago, when Angie Redmond turned 30, some friends gifted her a drum kit, and before long she was bugging people — especially Leslie Jankowski — to play music with her. “I must have asked you every time I saw you,” Redmond said to Jankowski recently over lunch Downtown. “‘Do you wanna play? Wanna jam in my basement?’”

PAGE 20

Jankowski’s band resume includes Church of the Red Museum, Behind You with Knives and, more recently, Nick Tolford & Company. Eventually, after Tolford called it quits, Jankowski had the time to say yes to Redmond. It didn’t take long before the pair asked bassist Chris Worth, formerly of Brainbow and Denovo, to complete the new band: Primitives.

this sorcery and stuff? But we live in the mundane world.” In that way, Primitives is an escape from the banal — a way to bring mythical creatures and fictional worlds to life. On the band’s seven-track self-titled debut, which the trio will celebrate with a release show at Ace of Cups on Friday, Feb. 8, songs like “Leviathan” and “Tell Me, Monster” transport listeners to another dimension through doomy guitar squalls that evoke the unlit parts of far-off planets. Worth’s basslines often provide a countermelody to Jankowski’s soaring vocals, and Redmond’s drum parts, which she recorded while six months pregnant in the summer of 2017 at Relay Recording, give Primitives’ songs a primal underpinning. Jankowski, who works as the library director at CCAD, found inspiration for the song “Maiden King” on a history podcast about the Mongol invasion, while “Last Night Left Alive” sprang from a scene in the 2011 apocalyptic film “Take Shelter.” “At the very end of the movie, [the main character] and his wife and his kid are on the beach staring out at the sea, and this storm comes in. It’s such a powerful feeling and visual that I took that into the song,” Jankowski said. “But the subject matter is more mundane than that. It’s about that end-of-the-world feeling when you break up with someone. It’s a life change, but in that cinematic, apocalyptic framing.” For orchestral album closer “Bruise,” Primitives layered strings and other instrumentation, which the band will mirror onstage at the release show with the addition of noise musician Mike Shiflet and keyboard player Kate Folmar. “On ‘Bruise,’ we obviously went a little crazy. We’ve never played that song live,” Jankowski said. “Everybody gets to unload on that song,” Worth said. “I cried at the practice last week,” Redmond said. “It sounded awesome.”

“I wasn’t playing much then. Brainbow had wound down. I was just sitting around writing crappy Neil Young riffs,” Worth said. The three friends bonded over music, of course, but their shared interest in menacing forces and shadowy realms provided much of the creative fuel for Primitives. “I’ve always been drawn to the dark side,” said singer/guitarist Jankowski, who studied horror films at Ohio State. “I gravitate toward the villains — dark stories, dark ideas. That started from a really young age, even Disney villains. I find that richer and more interesting. My songs aren’t happy. And it’s not that I’m not a happy person. It’s just that I don’t find it as interesting to talk about. … Tolford was very happy, a party band, which was fun. But that’s not really a reflection of who I am at my core.” “I’ve been in book club with you longer than I’ve been in a band with you,” Redmond said to Jankowski, “and even the books you recommend are always [about] dark characters.” All three musicians recounted early, formative experiences with grisly narratives that revel in the fantastical. “The first books I remember getting out of the library were books about sorcery and the universal monsters,” Worth said. “Also, my dad accidentally taped ‘Motel Hell’ on the end of the Popeye movie, so I watched that when I was like 5 years old. … It’s like a ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ rip-off. It’s super weird and psychedelic. They plant heads in the garden and hypnotize them with these spinning wheels and run around and turn people into sausage with pig heads on. It’s a really strange movie.” “Mine was ‘The Seventh Sign’ with Demi Moore on Cinemax,” Redmond said. “I remember seeing ‘Alien’ on HBO and watching ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ in the ’80s,” Jankowski said. “All the books I got at the library were the TimeLife Mysteries of the Unknown.” “I own all of those,” Worth said. “That’s how we knew we would click,” Jankowski said. “And people are drawn to that. They’re fascinated by the unknown. It’s kind of a magical thinking, too. Like, wouldn’t it be really cool if there was magic in the world and all

Two years may not seem like a long tenure for a band, but when you play 150 shows a year, like Nashville-based Southern rock act the Steel Woods did in 2018, two years can seem like 10. After all that time on the road, Steel Woods singer/guitarist Wes Bayliss said the band gained a greater sense of its identity and how the group should follow up its 2017 debut, Straw in the Wind. “We had ideas for what the finished product would sound like, as opposed to the first time we went into the studio,” Bayliss said recently by phone from the road. “The first time we had ideas of what the sound should be, but nothing was set in stone. We were just kind of winging it. This time we had it sort of figured out. … It’s got everything to do with spending as much time as we have together, playing onstage and hanging out the other 22 hours of the day.” Bayliss, along with Steel Woods songwriting partner Jason “Rowdy” Cope, wanted that camaraderie to come across in the studio, so the band tracked most of new album Old News live at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, North Carolina. It made all the difference, Bayliss said. On Straw in the Wind, the Steel Woods covered Black Sabbath’s “Hole in

the Sky,” and the band continued the trend on Old News with a cover of “Changes,” though this one evokes soul singer Charles Bradley more than Ozzy Osbourne. It’s one of six covers on the 15-track album; Bayliss said the band put the album together like a newspaper, and the last four songs on the record act as the obituary section, paying homage to four artists: Wayne Mills (“One of These Days”), Merle Haggard (“Are the Good Times Really Over”), Gregg Allman (“Whipping Post”) and Tom Petty (“Southern Accents”). “They’re actually in the order of their death,” Bayliss said. “We had a record before those tunes, [but] it’s something we wanted to do to pay respects.” Despite the rippedfrom-the-headlines look of the Old News cover art, Bayliss insists the album

isn’t meant to be political. “Old News is about hope. People ask me all the time, ‘What does this mean politically?’ And I’ve told people over and over, ‘I’m the guy who would never do a political song, especially not a political record,’” he said. “If you’re gonna talk politics, you have to voice your opinion, and it has to be onesided, and we’re not doing that at all. We’re saying if we could all forget about the things that don’t matter — the small things people like to make a big deal about — if we can just focus on what’s most important to us, then we’ll agree a whole lot more.”

mozes and the firstBorn By andy doWning On Dadcore, the just-released album from Dutch garage-pop quartet Mozes and the Firstborn, singer Melle Dielesen appears to revel in the album’s title, penning songs about hair loss, shopping for oatmeal and other seemingly mundane occurrences. Yet, by narrowing his focus, Dielesen manages to uncover beauty, sadness and hope in these often-overlooked moments, some of which, yes, are spent shuffling aimlessly through grocery store aisles in the wee hours of the morning. “I had a teacher in film school who was like, ‘The more you take a personal thing, or something that’s very close to you, and zoom in … the more universal it gets,’” said Dielesen, who joins his bandmates in concert at Ace of Cups on Sunday, Feb. 10. “I have a very strong belief you can write a song about anything, so I have a tendency to take subjects like ‘Sad Supermarket Song,’ which is about going around at closing time, having to get something, being lost, and it can become like a tragicomedy, and there’s some sort of beauty in that. As an artist, that’s what you do: try and make something beautiful out of something that is very everyday.” Dielesen said the band also enjoys crafting songs that, on the surface, sound loose and catchy, built on scruffy, momentous guitars and sunny, handclap choruses that belie the grit building underneath. In a way, it mirrors Dielesen’s view of Los Angeles, a city he lived in for

two months prior to the start of this tour. “On one hand, you see the beautiful palm trees and have the sunshine, and on the other, when you drive, right before you turn on the highway, you see a whole bunch of tents where people are living,” he said. The singer shared a similar experience of visiting San Francisco on tour, when, as night fell, the Mission District transformed from a colorful, highly populated neighborhood to what Dielesen termed “a zombie-land” of addicts and shady-looking characters. “We were all completely silent and looking at each other like, ‘What is this?’” he said. “It was super scary and cruel and horrible, but at the same time it was something we’d never seen before.” Coming into Mozes and the Firstborn nearly a decade ago, Dielesen was enamored with Guided By Voices (more sonically than in terms of recorded output; Mozes has released just three albums in its nine-year existence), but the band has since “become its own thing,” he said. “I think we’ve always had the ambition to be a band that is not afraid to write a good pop song,” he said. “But, at the same time, in production and attitude everything is just a little off-center.”

reetings from Barbara Shermund.” Amanda Gormley had acquired, among other items made by former New Yorker cartoonist Barbara Shermund, a set of copper-and-zinc plates dating to when the artist was young. Gormley was a few years into a search for more information about her mother’s half-sister, an artist named Barbara, about whom there was very little known in her family. Gormley sent the plates to be cleaned and restored, and the person handling the restoration offered to make prints and send them to her. “I could have cried. The print said, ‘Greetings from Barbara Shermund.’ This would have been made when she was about 19, when she was still an art student and before her mother died, before she moved to New York [from San Francisco],” Gormley said. “It was one of those times when I felt very strongly that I was supposed to be doing what I was doing.” Gormley was uncovering a piece of her family’s history, along the way filling in some blanks about an artist who remained a mystery beyond cartooning. “In 2010, I lost my brother. That led to some real existential questions: ‘Who are we?’” Gormley said by phone from her home in Reno, Nevada. “Growing up, we were indirectly aware of somebody related to us named Barbara Shermund who was an artist. But even within our family, we didn’t know much about her life. My career at the time was as an investigator, so I said to myself, ‘I can do this.’ And so I set out on a very focused effort to find out who she was.” That search would bring her into contact with Caitlin McGurk, who, in 2012 and early in her career at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum, wrote a piece for the Billy’s nascent blog that opened with, “I’m Caitlin McGurk, and I love Barbara Shermund.”

“I found her cartoons in the library and fell in love with them,” McGurk said. “But very little was known about her, and so I’ve been doing research on her ever since. She didn’t even have a Wikipedia page!” Shermund was one of a team of cartoonists — one of the first female cartoonists, at that — during the early years of The New Yorker. It was perhaps one of few places that Shermund could have expressed herself the way she did, embodying the emerging independent woman of the 1920s. “Her voice was singular, direct and ahead of its time,” McGurk said. “The gestures feel so natural, like they were coming right out of her. … She wasn’t afraid to poke fun at the wealthy or powerful, or men. She portrayed women drinking and smoking. There are hints she did some work aimed at a gay and trans audience.” “She was in a real sweet spot in her career,” Gormley said. When American culture changed in the ’40s and ’50s, Shermund found herself without a platform. She did some advertising work (pre-“Mad Men” era), but increasingly became private, to the point where little was known of her later life, of her relationships (she had two “secret” marriages, but lived with neither of the men to whom she was married) or of her work. Piecing together Shermund’s early life was only slightly less difficult. This is where Gormley and McGurk found themselves, arriving at the same point via different roads. “I was getting ready to do a research leave to do a deep dive into Barbara’s story,” McGurk said. “I had always wanted to do an exhibition of her work, but we needed to know much more about her to do it properly. That’s when miraculously, serendipitously, I got an email from Amanda.” “I was determined to honor [Shermund],” Gormley said.

orn in 1899, Shermund’s father was a prominent San Francisco architect, her mother an artist. Barbara was encouraged to study art but appears to have dropped out of art school when her mother died in 1918. She drifted a bit, eventually relocating to New York. Her father remarried to a woman younger than Barbara and began a new

family (that included Gormley’s mother). That generational shift and Shermund’s cross-continental migration were the underpinnings of the artist’s disjointed history. During Shermund’s notable career with The New Yorker, she would have been wellknown as a voice for the modern woman, McGurk said, what we might now call an

“influencer.” She traveled widely, often to Europe, spent summers working at an artist colony in Woodstock and settled in a small town on the Jersey shore. Gormley’s talents as an investigator were instrumental in uncovering missing pieces of Shermund’s later career and life, during which she continued to travel and retreat to Woodstock, where she met American artist Ludwig Sander, one of her two “secret” marriages. She died in New Jersey in 1978. “There are letters where [Shermund] is talking about an exhibition of a friend’s work and wondering what it would be like if someone asked to do an exhibit of her work, “He Loves You...” by Barbara Shermund and it comes across like there’s some regret,” Gormley said. “You her,” Gormley said. In a call with a funeral never know what’s going to happen when home, Gormley learned Shermund’s ashes you shake the family tree, but I felt like were still being held. No one had claimed the universe was saying it was her time, them in 1978. and that I was doing something she would “Thirty-five years,” Gormley said in be happy with.” disbelief. “I asked, ‘Can I have her?’” “Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl McGurk and Gormley have worked Wins: The Life and Art of Barbara Sherwith the San Francisco cemetery where mund” at the Billy Ireland is just such an Shermund’s mother is buried to have exhibition.

Top five John Cusack films: “Say Anything,” “Being John Malkovich,” “Con Air,” “Grosse Point Blank” and “High Fidelity.” For a limited time, the latter two will be shown in theaters across the country. Oh, and Cusack will be there to watch with attendees and participate in a moderated discussion. Columbus was lucky enough to secure a showing of “High Fidelity” at the Palace Theatre on Friday, Feb. 15. Based on the book by Nick Hornby, the film features Cusack as Rob Gordon, a music-obsessed owner of Championship Vinyl. In the record shop, he and his quirky employees (portrayed by a charismatic Jack Black and Todd Louiso) construct top-five music lists for myriad occasions and serve customers with more smirks than smiles. In a recent phone interview, Cusack said he recognized the characters in Hornby’s book from those who populated the record shop he visited while walking home from high school in Chicago. (As one of the film’s screenwriters, Cusack

shifted the story’s setting from London to the Windy City.) “They were the same guys,” he said. “They were … trying to live their lives autobiographically through certain albums and songs. … I definitely had a personal basis for wanting to do something about record stores [and] that culture.” Not only a “love letter” to music and Chicago, the film is also “a comedy about men and men’s insecurities,” Cusack said. Those insecurities come out in Gordon’s relationships with women, which he revisits in the aftermath of a breakup with his girlfriend, Laura. For those who haven’t seen the movie, it doesn’t reach a typical fairytale conclusion, but resolves in a more refreshing, realistic manner. Following the screening, Cusack will take questions from the audience about not only “High Fidelity,” but his 30-year career as an actor, producer and writer. (The Q&A will be moderated by Alive’s Erica Thompson.) Though it’s easy to associate him with his slew of successful films in the ’90s and early 2000s, he has acted consistently in recent

years, appearing in movies like Spike Lee’s “Chi-Raq” and several direct-to video-on-demand projects. “Sometimes you’ll do a movie because you want to do it, and you’ll do it for no money. And then you’ll do another movie just as a job to pay the bills,” he said of his approach. Cusack is also known for being politically outspoken, penning pieces for HuffPost and meeting with whistleblower Edward Snowden. Last year, he participated in a conference with Bernie Sanders at the Sanders Institute. “I’ve always spoken my mind,” Cusack said. “I don’t think you can separate art from politics.” But he also realizes events like the forthcoming “High Fidelity” screening may provide an escape from “Trump and all the horror and craziness,” he said. “But if someone asks me directly, I’m not going to shy away from the question.”

Dana Lynn Harper is doing the best she can. In recent years, the Columbus artist has experienced astral dreams, which she described as instances in which spirits rise above their physical bodies to encounter other spirits on a different plane. Harper said she doesn’t control these experiences, although she can ask for them. She said she believes the universe put information about astral dreams in her path a few years ago in preparation for the loss of both a childhood friend and her father on consecutive days about a year ago. “If you can exist outside the physical body, then what is time? And what is loss?” Harper said. Much of Harper’s recent installation work has been the artist’s “representation of the human spirit outside of the physical body,” she said in a recent interview at the Vanderelli Room, where she will feature a new sculpture/installation as part of “Let There Be Light,” which opens this Friday. “Using reflective materials offers that natural sparkle, representing the human spirit glittering and flowing in that way,” Harper said. “It’s hard, because … how do you take the materials available to represent a life force or spiritual force?” Guests will pass under and around Harper’s

Illuminated pieces, work that reflects or otherwise manipulates light and work that depicts light will all be featured. Despite the bent toward positivity, the show

will not be without political or social commentary. “It helps us grasp the light if we bring things into it that are hidden,” Vanderelli said. “I feel like an artist’s responsibility is not only to document what’s happening, but also to bring light and hope to people — to transform all that negativity that you’re receiving and transform it into something beautiful,” Harper said. “For me, that means the spiritual experiences that I’ve had and spiritual growth I’ve had is the most important thing, and I make my work about the most important thing. The point of my work is always to bring people joy.”

a piece of paper he’d written in a cab, and I’m reading the words silently to myself and already there’s a melody going through my head,” Fujiwara said during a break in rehearsals. The immediate and lasting impact of trauma on generations of people is at the heart of “The Flood,” inspired by the 1913 flood that destroyed the Franklinton neighborhood of Columbus. This new work is co-produced by Opera Columbus and ProMusica Chamber

Orchestra. The opera references real events and real places in and around the city. The characters are fictional. “The deepest part of the flood story is, ‘How do people metabolize such an experience?’” Wadsworth said. “But Columbus became the language we were using to talk about it.” “We all carry stuff. So I felt my duty was not to get in the way of the story but to still have something to say musically,” Fujiwara said.

‘The Lego Movie 2: The Second ParT’

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, February 7, 2019

By Brad Keefe

Everything was awesome. All the way back in 2014 (a simpler time), it was easy to be cynical about “The Lego Movie.” I mean, you don’t get much more shameless than a movie based on a wildly successful toy line, even if those toys are pretty cool and encourage creativity. Turns out that creativity, wit and heart can make all the difference. Oh, and an earworm theme song doesn’t hurt either. It wasn’t just the runaway success of the original that led to “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.” The first movie ended with an obvious (if cheeky) setup for a sequel — not so much a cliffhanger as a fun tip to the possibility of more adventures. That setup in the land of LEGO known as Bricksburg was an invasion by some Duplo “aliens” (Duplo being the younger sibling line for kids not old enough for LEGO). The sequel picks up at the same moment, before flashing forward a bit to a near-future dystopian version of Bricksburg called Apocalypseburg. I have to admit, I did not expect this (playfully) dark turn that provides a chance to parody a “Mad Max”-like world. This oddly sets up a more sugary adventure for Emmet (Chris Pratt), Lucy

(Elizabeth Banks), Batman (Will Arnett) and the gang, leading to a new villain voiced by Tiffany Haddish. Higher expectations are definitely an issue here, but there was also reason for them. There may be a new director at the helm in Mike Mitchell, but returning co-screenwriter Phil Lord is coming off “Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse,” one of the best animated movies of, well, ever. But “Lego Movie 2” sometimes struggles to recreate the magic of the original, and during its second act, it’s particularly guilty of trying too hard to do so. The all-ages appeal is still there — a colorful and playful mix for the kids with plenty of pop culture nods for parents (or, in my case, childless adults who snortlaugh over a Radiohead reference). But most all is forgiven in a final act that brings home some of the “Toy Story” sweetness and insight that made the first “Lego Movie” so heartwarming. Is it a bit of a letdown? Yes. But so is life, kids. Everything is still pretty awesome.

“The Lego Movie 2: The Second ParT” Opens Thursday

“the Prodigy” I’m the trouble starter, punkin’ instigator. I’m the fear addicted, a danger illustrated. I’m a firestarter, twisted firestarter.

aLSo PLaying: “glass” Hopes of M. Night Shyamalan again blowing this critic away, as he did with “Split,” from 2017, didn’t last long. “Glass” quickly feels like the Shyamalan who took early reports of his own storytelling genius too much to heart.

“ViCe” “Vice” is flawed, sure, but it’s a punchy lesson in how our political system can be gamed by those with the will. That lesson seems very relevant.

“sPider-Man: into the sPider-Verse” This animated film opens by wisely fast-forwarding through the Spider-Man origin story, and then proceeds to take numerous inventive turns from there. Stylish, fast-paced and charming, it’s among the best-ever entries in the Marvel film universe. (Also, be sure to stick around through the end credits.)

aLive recoMMendS: “they shall not groW old” The restoration of the footage for this World War I documentary from director Peter Jackson pulls these soldiers into our modern world, very much like ghosts. Expressions are readable. Small moments of the experience in the trenches come to life.

“shoPlifters” “Shoplifters” is complex, funny, joyful, sad and enthralling. Like “Roma,” it feels like a slice of life that’s both deeply ingrained in a certain culture and also somehow universal.

S

hould pizza be served with fried chicken? If you have jojos on hand, the answer is “yes.” If those sentences make little sense, you’re likely not from the Akron area. Up there, it’s routine for pizza places to likewise specialize in fried chicken, as well as fried potatoes that resemble big pickle spears dredged in seasoned flour. Most born-lucky diners from Northeastern Ohio grow up eating the three specialties together, and

know those beloved spuds as jojos. I’m not from that region, but I can testify that pizza devoured with “sides” of good fried chicken and oversize fries sounds crazy until becoming enlightened by the indulgent genius of it. Relatedly, I’ve been told that the mere mention of jojos will get the juices of Akron-area expatriates flowing. Those juices need not flow in vain. As you might’ve guessed from the way this column is unfolding,

these Summit County-style pizza shop favorites are now available in Central Ohio. Welcome to Gionino’s Pizzeria in Pickerington. Gionino’s, which started nearly three decades ago as a single restaurant in the Akron suburb of Tallmadge, today claims almost 50 pizzerias. The new Pickerington branch is co-owned by Larry Halpin and Dan Shackelford, twentysomethings who became friends while attending kindergarten in Cuyahoga Falls (a

Chicken tenders with hot garlic sauce This gives the chicken (a hefty eightpiece dinner with jojos is $14.75) a thick, delightfully extra-crispy crust with juicy meat underneath, plus a very appealing, peppery flavor bearing faint garlic, oregano and lemon notes. The same frying technique gives the tubers their distinct texture: crisp like flour-dredged fries on the outside, fluffy like baked potatoes on the inside. Gionino’s traditional pie-cut pizza crust — a considerably thinner option is also offered — is rather thick and bready and recalls focaccia. Order a Pepperoni Piccolo ($19 for a large, which is huge) and you’ll receive a flavor-bomb with spicy, crisp and delicious little greaseemitting pepperoni disks, a blanket of aged provolone, zippy sauce and a cheese-laced, golden-brown, crispy edge. For something just as good but quite different, the thin-crust Popeye ($19 for a large) — a bold and garlicky white pizza topped with tangy ricotta, aged-provolone and fresh spinach — is addictive, if glistening with liberally applied olive oil. I also tried a Deluxe Italian Sub ($6.75) on a nice bun and a gigantic Tossed Salad ($3.25) that’s as much iceberg lettuce as shredded cheese. Verdict: I’ll be back for Gionino’s pizza, chicken and jojos.

city in the Akron metropolitan area) and grew up loving Gionino’s, working for the company in their teen years. Their Pickerington shop is just that, a shop. Inside, you’ll see a counter offering super-friendly service, a big, open kitchen, freshness-attesting sacks of pizza-dough flour, plus stacked-high boxes of potatoes — and little else. This doesn’t mean every meal must be ordered to go, because Gionino’s has a symbiotic relationship with Classics Sports Bar, an adjoining separate business outfitted with numerous tables. Customers who’d like the convenience of dining in the spacious bar are handed beepers after ordering. Gionino’s item-heavy menu can induce befuddlement. Fortunately, the helpful servers are proficient at explaining its fare. I suggest first-timers seek a package containing the place’s holy-trinity: pizza, chicken and jojos. One evening, this materialized in a $20 special — a great deal that included a large pizza, five enormous chicken strips (rather than “fingers,” they’re more like fists), jojos and a little serving of straightforward slaw. The Family Feast ($28) — a large pizza, eight pieces of chicken, jojos and a pint of slaw — is always available and is highly recommended if dining in a small group. As per Akron tradition, the chicken and fresh-cut potatoes are similarly seasoned and fried in pressure-cookers that ensure a relatively short cooking time.

In the spring of their first year, they interview with our industry partners for a part-time position (typically 24 hours a week at approximately $15-$21 an hour). If successful in obtaining one of these positions, students work three days per week and attend class two days per week while they finish their Associate degree. Students earn more in their work study positions than the total cost of the degree, allowing many

students to graduate debt free. Upon successful completion, students often receive full-time job offers for positions with starting salaries around $50k-$60k. Students wishing to continue their education can transfer credits towards a Bachelor’s degree at several universities, oftentimes taking advantage of tuition reimbursement programs through their employers.
