Bad for Ohio

Does the judge’s ruling mean he believes the alleged nondisparagement agreement Pounds has with The Blade can be extended, without consent or sanction, not only to me but to each individual who has invested in our company? Toledo Free Press is a small, private business; we are not a public institution.

There is no public interest in the unveiling of our members’ names — this is not a freedom of information request; it is an effort to determine who was willing to step up and fund an alternative to the old-school, elitist Blade.

Imagine the implications for businesses seeking investment in Lucas County and Ohio if this becomes the standard. How could anyone establishing a controversial, competitive or risky business attract the capital from

a person who is not promised identity and liability protection? If the finances and business plans of members of LLCs in Lucas County and Ohio are not protected by the law as they have been up to this very moment, why would any new businesses risk investing here?

As a duty to our business and others who expect they can make investments in business without them becoming public, we are filing an appeal and seek to overturn the judge’s decision. Our appeal takes on much greater resonance now that LLC standards for the entire state — not just the future of Toledo Free Press — are potentially at risk.

There are basic foundations of American rights of privacy under assault and the implications could debilitate the flow of investment dollars in Lucas County as well as all of Ohio. O Michael S.

By Jeff McGinnis

Toledo Free Press Pop Culture Editor PopGoesJeff@gmail.com

In late August, a new project popped up on Kickstarter titled, “New studio album by Jeff Stewart!” The text accompanying the listing noted that “this album is the proper follow-up to my 2006 EP Mix Tape Blues.”

The new project — “Can’t Sit Still” — is much more than that. It is the culmination of years of work that “Mix Tape Blues” began. It’s the latest step on a musical journey that began in Stewart’s childhood. And it’s the mission statement of a man — one of the most beloved figures in the Toledo music scene — who has only ever wanted to do one thing with his life.

“I think I was always going to be either a fireman or a rock singer,” Stewart said in an interview with Toledo Free Press. “I think you just always know, even if your life goes in a different direction, you realize after that fact it just wasn’t what you are.”

Jeff Stewart can’t sit still: Local music staple is preparing new album of original material

What cool was

Stewart has always been hardpressed to describe his musical style.

His explanations run the gamut from rock, pop, country, British, American, you name it. And if there’s a reason it’s hard for the singer-songwriter to pin down what his sound is, that may be because his musical influences have been just as broad throughout his life.

“My mom would play records on her big record player — Bobby Vinton, Elvis — and I always just remember having the TV shows you had, like had The Beatles or the Stones on it. I remember just seeing the Stones and just — I didn’t know what ‘cool’ was when I was 6 or 7, but I think I did understand it by seeing those guys,” Stewart said.

An album by the Stones was the first cassette tape he bought, and the first time he picked up an instrument was in emulation of the group’s legendary guitarist, Keith Richards. He began playing when he was 11, taking lessons, but he said he learned the most from just hanging around and jamming with his brother and friends every day after school.

“You grow, you get older, and then you go for different things. College brought R.E.M. and their massive influence through the ’90s,” he said. “And

getting to play with different players through the years, and introduced to the John Prines and the singer-songwriters and that whole situation. The Grateful Dead, just so many different styles, Miles Davis — everything came in, you know? And I just think I tried to write a song, and my style is kind of a mish-mash of that.”

Community

Stewart first began to make a name for himself in the Toledo music scene during his college years, joining groups like The Flecks and The Starlings. Each stop helped him grow musically.

“A couple of my buddies were older, so they would turn us onto ... all the new, modern rock ’n’ roll, and we got into the new wave stuff, too, so there was all kinds of things,” Stewart said. “And then, I went onto the Rust Belt of American music with The Starlings, and really enjoying the ‘Blue Rodeo’ country — the Canadian country, if you will.”

“I was a supporter early on, when he made the leap to full-time musician,” said Larry Meyer of local music group Old State Line. “When I was doing JT & the Clouds shows at Mickey Finn’s Pub, it was a delight to have Jeff open, and to give him a

forum to play nothing but his own compositions. He never let us down, and he has only improved.”

“It’s a beautiful thing when you can make music with your friends,” said Kyle White, another staple of the Toledo music scene. “Jeff and I have been friends for many years. He is one of my favorite people to sing with. I love the honesty in his voice and in his songwriting. When we get the chance to work together the studio, we have so much fun. His spirit and creativity inspire me.”

Stewart reciprocates the appreciation his fellow musicians have shown him over the years.

“The support is great for you here.

You’re working, and the musicians’ support is amazing,” he said. “Just such a massive amount of talented players and songwriters and drummers and keyboard players and bass players and guitarists and singers — we’re just really loaded with great people, and so many of those people are my friends.

And we care about each other.”

Mix tape blues

The seeds that would blossom into “Can’t Sit Still” were sown more than seven years ago, a time Stewart refers to as a “defining moment” in his life. n STEWART CONTINUES ON 6

n STEWART CONTINUED FROM 4 “I went through a divorce at 30; it turned my world upside down. Everything changed, and everything had to change at that point in my world. It was the country song — lost the job, the dogs, the day job situation. And in the band, we were kind of on our last ropes anyways, The Starlings.

“I needed to branch out, and I think that was just the perfect time.

And I just left everything behind.”

He poured himself into his work, writing songs that reflected the loss and renewal he felt at that time of his life. At the same time, the process was “a bear,” he said. He faced challenges with everything from “cash flow, and studio time to Gregg Leonard, my friend, my guitar player and producer — he’s producing this record for me — he was going through his own situation. And those situations just multiplied.”

“He is one of my dearest friends and we have played a lot of music together and had quite a few late nights in recording studios,” said Leonard, who is working in Los Angeles.

“He is an authentic artist in every sense of the word and I’ve watched him do the hard work of building his audience and craft the old fashioned way of countless gigs and dedication to carrying on this art form. Our belief all along is that there is no such thing as a local album or artists anymore and that anything we would present to the world would have to take its place next to any album.”

Wanting to get something out to the public, Stewart quickly recorded the songs that made up “Mix Tape Blues.”

But the desire to make something that really stood out made him hold off on releasing his next full-length EP. Stewart wanted — needed — to make something special. But now, he said, the muse is hitting hard and heavy.

“It’s a lot of lost time that I didn’t put records out, and they’re all coming together,” Stewart said. “I could probably put six records out right now, with all the songs I’ve cut.

So that process — it’ll never be done again like this.”

Kickstarted

Even so, it takes money to produce an album that can, on a production level, stand against the biggest-budget labels in the music stratosphere. So to raise the capital, Stewart was convinced to take his case to his fans directly — through Kickstarter.

“I was really against it at first. I thought it was a charity case,” Stewart said. “I didn’t raise any money for this before. People have offered me money over the years. They were adamant that they wanted to help me get this s--- finished. And my pride, or whatever, got the best of me and I never took it.

“And I thought it was the same

thing with Kickstarter. I got a lot of talking-tos by my friends, and I changed my mind about it, you know?

I realized it’s not a charity, you’re getting something — you’re just helping and being part of the process. And it’s pretty exciting watching the support coming to you from it.”

On Sept. 25, it happened. “Can’t Sit Still” was officially backed with a total of $13,760 in pledges — more than $1,000 more than its goal. The album that has been in the works for over seven years — or a lifetime, depending on your point of view — is officially a go. Now, the final work begins.

Times have changed

“Jeff and I would track parts such

as vocals, guitar, bass, percussion, etc., and then send a rough mix to Gregg in LA who then sent back his thoughts and we would go from there,” producer Chuck Mauk said of the recording process. “The same process is occurring right now as we are for the most part done recording and now Gregg is mixing the CD from LA and sending the mixes back to us for input. Naturally, Jeff has the final say, but it is still a process of bouncing ideas off of one another via the telephone and Internet. Times have changed.”

And for Stewart, seeing the support of hundreds of friends and fans leading to him realizing his latest dream has been the most

wonderful of conclusions to a roller coaster of emotions.

“I was scared, man. I tried to keep the balance of positive and negative, and try to ride the balance of that middle line sometimes, but I was pretty scared going into it, thinking I wasn’t going to get a buck,” Stewart said. “But we put it out there, and it’s pretty exciting, man. It’s pretty overwhelming, the response, you know?

I can’t wait for these people who are helping out and pre-ordering — they’re gonna get some cool stuff. And get the record.

“And that’s what I care about, that’s all I care about. I just want my friends to get the songs, and hear ’em the way I hear ’em.” O

TARTA debuts computerized bus-tracking system

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

TARTA debuted its new computerized buslocating system on Sept. 24, allowing riders to pinpoint the real-time location of their bus and its estimated time of arrival at their stop.

TARTA Tracker uses satellites and predictive computer software to generate the position of buses and predict arrival times, said Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA) general manager James Gee during a news conference at DownGEE town Toledo’s Park Station.

“When you walk to a bus stop the first thing you think is, ‘When is my bus going to be here?’ and this answers that question,” Gee said. “It takes the uncertainly out of your bus ride.”

The tracker can be accessed from a computer, smartphone or mobile device by visiting TARTATracker.com. Riders can view routes, locate nearby stops or search by street name or route number to view a list of stops and bus arrival times.

Those without Internet access can call TARTA at (419) 243-RIDE (7433) to speak with a representative using TARTA Tracker in the office. Riders can also sign up for alerts via text

message, email or browser, letting them know, for example, when their bus is 15 minutes away from their stop, Gee said.

“The alerts were available before, but only with printed schedule information,” Gee said.

“Now we’re providing real-time information, which is new.”

Tracking is currently available for a few hundred stops on TARTA’s busiest bus routes, but the goal is to eventually provide TARTA Tracker information for all 2,400 bus stops, Gee said.

“We’ve been tracking the buses with GPS technology for several years. What we’ve done now is taken our GPS information and overlaid on top of that real-time schedule information and predictive schedule information,” Gee said.

About 65 percent of TARTA’s passengers use smartphones, according to data collected during the past year of research and development leading up to the launch of TARTA Tracker. The bus line reports 12,000 passenger boardings per day.

“We are changing how customers interact with TARTA. All in all, we’re not the same old TARTA,” Gee said. “We’ll be able to provide better information to you and, as a result, you the customer will be able to make better decisions on how to use our service.”

Leading wave

The TARTA Tracker technology and website was developed by Clever Devices, a Woodbury, N.Y.-based company. The mobile website was

2013 TOLEDO

developed by Maumee-based Hart.

“We’re not the first city to do this, but we’re on the leading part of the wave,” Gee said. “Around Ohio, Cleveland has a similar product, but I’m not sure if anyone else does yet.”

The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority debuted a real-time tracker system called NextConnect last year.

About 300 transit systems in 41 states use one of Clever Devices’ transportation technology products, although not all use the bus-tracking technology, said director of marketing Amy Miller, who said the company is the largest of its type in North America.

About 25 transit systems utilize real-time passenger information products similar to Toledo’s, including Chicago Transit Authority and the Ohio State University bus system, Miller said.

TARTA Tracker heralds a “new era” for TARTA, said Steve Atkinson, director of marketing, at the news conference.

“The TARTA Tracker is a totally new way of answering passenger questions, such as ‘Where is the nearest TARTA bus stop?’ ‘What bus should I take?’ ‘Is my bus on time?’ To answer these and many other questions is now as close as your computer, your mobile device or your phone.”

QR codes are being installed on TARTA buses, shelters and stations. The codes will automatically access the TARTA Tracker when scanned by a mobile device.

Shaheed Rashad of Toledo said he normally doesn’t stress about bus schedules because he is self-employed and has a flexible schedule, but said TARTA Tracker will be handy when it gets cold.

“Especially in the winter season, you might not want to be out waiting for a long period of time,” Rashad said. “I can look on my computer before I leave and ... I might wait for five minutes, but at least I know it’s coming and it’s not delayed or I missed it.”

Rashad’s fiancée, Shelly Taylor of Toledo, said she likes the idea of being able to track her son’s bus to and from school.

“It’s convenient for someone with kids. I wait for my son Downtown and we go home together so for me it’d be convenient to know about what time he’s going to come,” Taylor said. “It’s peace of mind. To me, it’s really beneficial.”

Owens Community College student Bryanna Simpson of Toledo said she would use TARTA Tracker to time catching her bus to and from school.

“Sometimes you don’t know if it’s going to be late, or like this morning, it was a couple minutes early, so if you don’t know that, you might miss it,” Simpson said. “If you knew that, it would be more helpful.”

TARTA Tracker is not available for Call-ARide or Toledo Area Regional Paratransit Service (TARPS), which provide at-home pickup of riders. For more information, visit TARTA Tracker.com. O

Toledo native Sam Mallette III describes his work as similar to “Date Doctor” Alex Hitchens, the character portrayed by Will Smith in “Hitch.”

“I’m like him times 100 — mixed with a little Iyanla Vanzant, Oprah and Bishop T.D. Jakes or Dr. Phil,” Mallette said, laughing. “What I do really stems from what Will was doing in the movie. I’ve just really enhanced it.”

The self-taught relationship expert will offer a new workshop, “Secrets Every Man Should Know to Make His Woman Happy,” at 7 p.m.

Oct. 4 at Maumee Indoor Theatre, 601 Conant St. “I’m going to tell men in man language what women are trying to tell them in women language and it’s not working,” Mallette said.

Cost is $15 for one ticket or $25 for two tickets. Tickets are available at the offices of The Toledo Journal, 3021 Douglas Road; Promises Hair & Nail Salon, 3205 W. Central Ave.; or Powell’s Beauty Supply, 901 Nebraska

Ave. Part of the proceeds will go to Project Genesis, a program of Family Service of Northwest Ohio, to fight domestic violence.

The workshop is open to all.

“The title of this one insinuates it’s just for men, but it’s for men and women,” Mallette said. “And it’s not just for couples either. A lot of this stuff will work in basic relationships with family or friends.”

Mallette regularly advises men to be students of their significant other.

“I’m a huge advocate of men studying who their woman is. You should be doing that all the time,” Mallette said. “You can’t be lazy to be in a relationship. You’ve got to want to master her. It’s fun. It’s just work.”

A woman needs to be seduced emotionally, intellectually, sexually, spiritually and physically, he said.

“If you can tap into all five of those areas at the same time, where you are feeding her mind, her emotions, all that, you become the greatest superbeing that she’s ever met and vice versa,” he said, laughing. “It’s not as hard as people think.”

At the workshop, Mallette will address what he calls the Triple A’s. n SECRETS CONTINUES ON 10

10 Community n SECRETS CONTINUED FROM 8 “The most basic things you have to do for a woman on a daily basis — and it takes maybe one to four minutes per day — is you have to give her in some way affection, attention or appreciation,” Mallette said. “You don’t have to be doing all three, but you have to be doing at least one of those per day.”

The tendency of women to talk more than men will also be addressed.

“Most men, when women be blah blah blah, think, ‘Why is she just talking? Will you please shut up?’”

Mallette said. “I’m going to explain to men how when a woman is talking to you she’s trying to connect with you and what that connection and that intimacy means.”

Samology

Mallette’s path to relationship expert was forged in an unlikely place — divorce. He and his wife of seven years split in 2003.

September 29, 2013

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com “Divorce is pretty rare in my family.

There’s very few of us that ever got divorced. My parents just celebrated their 46th anniversary,” Mallette said.

“Normally when people go through dramatic things like that they either say, ‘Well, I hate all women,’ or ‘Let me find out what really happened.’”

Mallette chose the second route.

“At first I had to do my own introspection. I examined me, I examined what she did, what I did and then what we did together, bad, good and ugly,” he said. “That’s what started me on this journey.”

Mallette followed with observation of and research on human behavior, both of which led to the development of the set of philosophies he now refers to as Samology. He calls his workshops the Sambition series.

The Oct. 4 presentation will be the third talk in the series. The first addressed why men cheat and the second was “Secrets Every Woman Should Know About Men.” During the

second seminar, Mallette highlighted respect, ego and the visual.

“I don’t think women really understand how far that goes in a man,” Mallette said. “No. 4 would be sex.”

He said all his presentations are humorous and interactive.

“I like for my audience to talk back. Sometimes I might point you out. We have a lot of fun,” Mallette said. “I love to give people theory and then give them practical appli-

cation. When you get up from the seat, you can immediately put this into practice.”

Mallette said he hopes attendees leave more hopeful than they arrive.

“Divorce rates are so high and women don’t believe there are good men out there and men don’t believe there are good women,” he said. “I want them to realize there is hope and then once you get it, you can really make it work and have fun doing it.”

Mallette, a graduate of Macomber-Whitney Vocational Technical High School, will soon debut a column for Toledo Free Press. He has a bachelor’s degree international business and business management from Lourdes College, a master’s in higher education administration from the University of Toledo and a doctorate of divinity from the School of Bible Theology Seminary and University in California.

Sibshops offer outlet for siblings of special needs kids

n

A group of participants at a past Sibshop. The next workshop is Oct. 5.

Smenner said that while Sibshops do not focus on parents as much as siblings, workshops have been held in the past to help parents understand the needs of all their children. She added that the ESC offers a variety of workshops and activities based on the Sibshops philosophy, including a mix of guest speakers, bowling outings and

other community activities.

“A lot of the kids I’ve had come back year after year, so I have to switch it up because I don’t want them to get bored,” she said.

Sibshops also helps connect kids with other kids who understand their situations or have had similar experiences, Smenner said.

“These kids can get together and share their frustrations and their concerns — and the good parts, too — with other kids that get it. They know they’re not the only ones out there feeling this.”

lighting the issue of sex trafficking.

“Sex+Money: A National Search for Human Worth” will be screened at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 27 at Calvary Church, 1360 Conant St. The 90-minute documentary explores domestic minor sex trafficking and the modern-day abolitionist movement fighting to stop it, according to a news release. The film crew traveled to more than 30 states and conducted more than 75 interviews with federal agents, victims, politicians, activists, psychologists, porn stars and more.

The screening is meant to raise awareness for The Daughter Project, a faith-based nonprofit organization based in Perrysburg that builds recovery homes, also known as “trafficking shelters,” for girls rescued from sex traffickers.

“It’s a very well-done documentary. They definitely talk to some of the best authorities in the country about trafficking,” said The Daughter Project Director Jeff Wilbarger. “Hopefully it will inspire people to want to help.”

The Daughter Project home, at an undisclosed Wood County location, is the only licensed group home in Ohio for adolescent sex trafficking survivors, Wilbarger said. It was constructed completely through donations from local companies and has helped five girls from Ohio since opening last October. The home currently houses three girls age 13-15.

There are plenty of reasons to wear pink

have heard people complain that too much attention is paid to National Breast Cancer Awareness Month when there are so many other diseases that also deserve some publicity.

Yes, there is a sea of pink jerseys, pink jewelry, pink bake ware, pink candy and pink everything. What about lung cancer? What about Brandi melanoma? What about sarcoma? Do they even have colors?

The older I get, the more people I know who are afflicted by this farreaching disease. For every one person I know with another form of cancer, I know three with breast cancer.

The 20th annual Race for the Cure in Downtown Toledo is Sept. 29.

My aunt, Kim Cousino, will be participating. She found out she had noninvasive ductal carcinoma this time last year.

She had a lumpectomy and went through radiation. She is now cancerfree. She told me if she had to get breast cancer, this was the type to get.

She considers herself lucky.

That’s a reason to wear pink.

A high school classmate, Michelle (Zieber) Morrell, died Sept. 15 from metaplastic breast cancer — one of the worst types of breast cancer.

Following her journey online was heart-wrenching. As she became too weak to post updates, her husband got BARHITE online for her.

One of the last things I read from her was Aug. 4. It stated: “Just found out from Dr. I only have 4-5 weeks to live if this current treatment doesn’t work! The cancer is spreading at a fast pace. Scary to think in a month I could be with God up in heaven. Obviously we’re praying this does not happen so soon. I’ve had several offers for help and the best way you can help is to pray. Thank you for all of your support this past year.”

Morrell left behind her husband and two young daughters.

That’s a reason to wear pink.

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER dramsey@toledofreepress.com

The Grypshon team won first place in the Startup Weekend Toledo competition. The competition took place from Sept. 20-22 at the Nitschke Technology Commercialization Complex on the College of Engineering campus at the University of Toledo.

The Grypshon team of Tom Burden, Patricia Law and Kathy Worthy won the startup competition with the only physical product among the seven finalists. The team developed a proposed business around friction mats designed for use in the maintenance of military and commercial aircraft.

The idea was the brainchild of Burden, a staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, who works on jet aircraft at the 180th Fighter Wing of the Ohio Air National Guard base at Toledo Express Airport. The Celina, Ohio, native is also a mechanical engineering technology student at UT. Grypshon is the name chosen for the product Burden demonstrated during the team’s presentation to the judges in the final round of the competition. The friction mat is designed to provide a safer work environment for airmen who must stand on jets to perform maintenance and service.

Law, a mechanical engineer, and Worthy, a medical sales representative, joined Burden to comprise one of the smallest teams in the competition. They had never even met Burden prior to the competition, but said they were extremely impressed with his idea.

While the judges met in seclusion to select the winners, Burden and his team had an opportunity to meet with Don Wedding, a local patent attorney and professor in the College of Business and Innovation at UT, to discuss the patent process.

Next step

As the winning team, Grypshon will receive a “two-hour IP brainstorming session” and two-month parttime membership to Seed Co-working space Downtown in addition to other

prizes for individual members.

Burden said the next step for the startup will be to concentrate on obtaining patents on the product and try to sell it at trade shows hosted by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Tom’s parents, Tom and Sally Burden, who came from Celina for the final presentations on Sept. 22, said they were very proud of their son and his invention.

Startbox, a business designed to help people complete craft projects, finished second in the competition.

Cloud Control, a source for storing files at multiple locations from a single point of access, placed third.

Other finalists

The other seven finalists included CRUMS, a site for keeping track of independent phone and webcam service; Music Minion, an app for listeners to connect with their favorite music; Soundarific, a website where people can share their talent anonymously; and Writing Along, providing a safe environment for youth to learn through creative writing.

Prior to the final presentations, Joe Gough, an entrepreneur in residence for Rocket Ventures, offered the participants some advice on how to pitch their ideas, products and companies. He told them that inves-

tors invest in people more than ideas and that they shouldn’t be afraid to ask for advice and referrals.

The panel of judges included Henry Balanon, entrepreneur and co-founder of Protean; Anneliese Grytafey, attorney and senior program officer for the Toledo Community Foundation; Gene Powell, president of Spoke design and digital marketing agency in Toledo; Vijay Raghavendra, strategy and corporate business development executive for IBM; and Steve Schwartz, entrepreneur involved in three startup firms including Alfa Jango Software.

Startup Weekend Toledo began with 90-minute presentations on

25 original ideas for companies and products. The teams worked on development of the individual ideas during the 54-hour event.

The competition was narrowed down to 10 semifinalists and then seven finalists during the weekend, said Lindsey Danforth, lead organizer for the event.

It is the second year for the Startup Weekend competition in Toledo, according to Danforth, who said they had about the same number of participants as last year.

A Toledo tradition since 2005

Super Fitness uses workout energy to save energy Toledo Free Press Staff Writer mliasse@toledofreepress.com

One of Toledo’s largest gyms has gone green.

In an effort to save energy, Super

Fitness installed the SportsArt Fitness Green System. The system consists of a group of cardio machines attached to an inverter that harnesses energy generated by the person using them.

The energy generated by the user’s exercise then powers the gym’s televi-

sions, lights, ceiling fans and more.

“It’s something that is slowly ramping up,” said SportsArt national account manager Ken Hanks.

“Now the time is right. These ellipticals, upright bikes, recumbent bikes, it’s a part of any club. You’re

going to buy them regardless, why not get a benefit out of it for everyone involved?”

Super Fitness owner Ron Hemelgarn said HANKS the machines cost the gym a little more money, but the payback is worth it.

The Green System is part of an established line of eco-friendly fitness products offered by SportsArt Fitness, an industry leader in designing and manufacturing highquality cardiovascular and strength equipment for more than 35 years.

The Green System devices installed at the Toledo location include ellipticals, recumbent cycles and upright cycles.

The Toledo location, 343 Newtowne Square Drive, is one of the first to install the new equipment.

Hemelgarn appeared at an unveiling of the new machines Sept. 19 to explain the benefits.

“I’ve been dealing with Sport-

sArt for 20 years maybe,” Hemelgarn said. “The idea of capturing energy, as long as I’ve been in the business, has been there.”

In one hour, HEMELGARN the green system can generate up to 2,000 watts of power, according to a SportsArt fact sheet. Such wattage can power a ceiling fan (65 watts) for 30 hours or a 27-inch flat-screen television (117 watts) for 17 hours.

The fact sheet also noted such wattage would power a dishwasher or vacuum cleaner (1,200 watts) for almost two hours, a microwave oven (750 watts) for two and a half hours.

The system also saves the gym money, Hemelgarn said.

“We do so many things to save energy and lower costs,” Hemelgarn said. “It’s a win-win-win situation. … I study this a lot; I have a really good engineering mind and I look at things and I want to make it better. I work at it every day. I pay attention.

And I’m always looking ahead.” O

Rock Africa to raise funds for Zimbabwe

By Jay Hathaway

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Ron and Cathy King, owners of a screen printing and embroidery in Archbold, are passionate about turning their 13 years of business experience into education for struggling entrepreneurs in southern Africa. They will host their first Fall Festival chicken barbecue at their shop Three Cord, accompanied by live music and family-friendly activities, to raise money for their volunteer group, Rock Africa.

During the past three years, Rock Africa has developed an ongoing mentoring relationship with a group of ambitious locals in Zimbabwe who believe business know-how will be the key to raising economic, education and living standards in their country.

Following a civil war in the 1970s, Zimbabwe’s history since its independence from British colonial rule has been filled with hardship.

According to the CIA’s World Factbook, in 2009 Zimbabwe’s unemployment rate was 95 percent.

This January, the Kings, along with a nine-person team composed of some of their employees and other community members, will leave on their third trip to Africa to mentor and cultivate personal relationships with pastors and entrepreneurs in the Zimbabwean capital, Harare. “We’ve operated Three Cord for 13 years, and God has blessed us in this venture,” Ron said. “That’s why we’re involved in this today. We’ve really felt called to share our experience with this part of the world.” The Kings’ first trip to Africa was to Mali in West Africa, but the language barrier between the Americans and the local French and Bantu speakers proved problematic. “Mali was a rewarding experience, but we’ve found we’re best suited in Zimbabwe.”

Rock Africa’s involvement with the business and religious community in Zimbabwe is a year-round affair. “When we travel to Africa, our volunteers stay for two weeks (the Kings will stay three weeks this year) to give in-person training and have fellowship with the people there,” Kathy said. “But throughout the year we regularly communicate through Skype to continue our mentorship. We’re close to family with some of our contacts there. In fact, one young man we mentor, Rob, calls us ‘mama’ and ‘papa.’”

The Kings and their partners in Zimbabwe operate under the wisdom of the proverb: “If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day, but if you teach him how to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime.” The Zimbabwean people

will accept financial assistance out of necessity, such as affordable business loans through an organization called Africa Works, but they are more interested in learning how to become self-sufficient.

“The people over there want to learn and better themselves, but they

face tremendous challenges,” Kathy said. “The next generation typically can’t afford the school fees and can’t get driver’s licenses. It is difficult for them to adopt technology because of unreliable power.”

Rock Africa’s Fall Festival chicken barbecue fundraiser will take place

from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 5 in Three Cord’s parking lot at 203 E. Lugbill Road. in Archbold. Live music will be performed by Saved by Grace and the Archbold Assembly of God/Templo Cristiano praise band. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/ rockafrica.thewayforward. O

IN CONCERT

ZZ Ward to bring her ‘dirty shine’ to Detroit

By Vicki L. Kroll

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer vkroll@toledofreepress.com

She’s got the sound and look of a star — and one of the coolest names ever: ZZ Ward.

The girl can sing, play piano and guitar, and man, can she rock a hat.

“I started wearing the hat when I was a little kid when I would sing the blues, just because I grew up listening to so many blues artists like Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters,” Ward said. “It’s my way of remembering what inspired me in the first place, so it’s my way of paying homage to the blues.”

Born in 1986, Zsuzsanna, ZZ for short, grew up in Roseburg, Ore., in a house with two Hammond B3 organs, a dad who played in a blues band and two older brothers who liked hip-hop.

“I listened to a lot of really strong female vocalists — Etta James, Big Mama Thornton, Tina Turner,” Ward recalled. “I also loved singersongwriters like David Bowie and Tom Petty and Bob Dylan and artists that had a voice through their song and identity through their writing.

That was always really special to me and something I really wanted to be able to do with my own music.”

Her 2012 debut, “Til the Casket Drops,” includes the ultra-catchy hit “Put the Gun Down” and the bouncy follow-up “365 Days.”

“The writing process for me, honestly, with this record it was about the ups and downs of a relationship I was in and just that sometimes it’s not always this perfect love story or that wouldn’t be any fun. It’s a frickin’ roller coaster ride of passion and heartbreak sometimes and then the love that comes out of it,” Ward said during a call from the road en route to a show in Arizona.

“I think that’s what I can really give to people and what I grew up enjoying about music is sincerity and authenticity and real stories and real emotion. And I think because I grew up admiring that so much, I’m just able to kind of convey that, and that’s what this record is about.”

Her powerful voice has been compared to Adele, Amy Winehouse and Aretha Franklin. She’s received rave reviews from Rolling Stone, NPR and The New York Times.

“I never really expected people to

ZZ WARD like [my music] as much as they have,” she said. “The publications and all the support from so many outlets is incredibly wonderful, but at the end of the day, the fans liking the music is the most important thing to me.”

She calls her mix of blues, rock, soul and hip-hop “dirty shine.” “‘Dirty shine,’ to me, it means embracing your authentic self, and I hope that my fans can do that through listening to my record, whatever they want to embrace about themselves,” the singer-songwriter said. “For me, it was just really kind of jumping into a record and not caring about what people were going to think; it was just really making music that I love.”

Ward will bring her Down & Dirty Shine Tour to Saint Andrew’s Hall, 431 E. Congress St., Detroit, on Oct. 6. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Alpha Rev and James Bay will open.

Tickets are $15.75. O

RELIGION

Sanctus Real reflects during homecoming performance

By David Yonke

EDITOR, TOLEDOFAVS.COM David.Yonke@ReligionNews.com

Sanctus Real has performed in every U.S. state except two (will someone please book them in Alaska and Hawaii?) as well as a number of concerts abroad, but coming home can be a bit nerve-racking for the Toledo band.

Like Sept 20, when the twotime Grammy-nominated Christian rockers played a show at Calvary Church in Maumee.

“It definitely feels different,” said drummer Mark Graalman. “Staring out into the crowd, you know half the faces there and so often it’s people … who literally watched you grow up.”

Many Toledoans will remember seeing Graalman, singer-guitarist Matt Hammitt, and guitarist Chris Rohman — the three remaining original members — finding their groove on the local music scene when they founded Sanctus Real 17 years ago.

“Matt and Chris were 16 and I was 18, we were just kids trying to

make something of the noise we were making,” Graalman said.

Through the years, they’ve always made sure to fit a Toledo show into each of their national tours, including last week’s “Run” tour concert at Calvary.

It doesn’t necessarily go GRAALMAN smoothly, even at home. After setting up the biggest stage and light show they’ve had on an outdoor stage at Calvary, a steady rain forced the show indoors.

And the group has undergone two recent personnel changes, as bassist Dan Gartley left a few months ago and the band’s second guitarist, Pete Prevost, quit last week after four years with Sanctus Real.

Jake Rye, a bass player from Adrian, Mich., has taken Gartley’s spot and local guitar ace Jeff Harris is filling in for Prevost temporarily.

Graalman said being from Toledo

and playing for Toledo fans is fun, but it carries high expectations.

“There’s always a sense of pride to it. We’re always excited to play for the hometown crowd. But in all honesty, I think there’s a certain amount of pressure, too. I get more nervous. We want to make it good, we want to be proud.

So we put a little extra pressure on ourselves,” he said.

The backstage scene gets a little crazy, too, with so many friends and family stopping in.

“There’s a million people everywhere, and with our wives and the kids it’s just like a circus backstage.”

Sanctus Real released its sixth album for Sparrow Records, “Run,” in February and the disc has gotten plenty of airplay with such hits as “Pray,” which was the official song for this year’s National Day of Prayer.

The group was in Nashville recently rehearsing for the tour and planning their next CD, which they are slated to start recording in January.

Graalman said everyone in the band contributes when it comes to writing songs, but Hammitt is the one with a special gift for that creative

challenge. He is “constantly writing,” Graalman said of Hammitt, adding that lyrics and vocal melody are his strong suit.

Some Sanctus Real songs are sparked by a guitar riff from Rohman or Prevost, leading to an organic, oldschool team effort in creating a new tune. “A lot of the rock songs come about that way, with Chris or Pete having a riff and we start jamming,” Graalman said.

It’s important to the band members that they get together and create music as a group, not just mail their ideas through cyberspace and tack their parts onto each other’s tracks in the studio.

“It makes us feel like a band, not a factory,” Graalman said.

As for his own songwriting abilities, Graalman is predictably modest.

“Every time I think I have a good idea, I go back and listen to it a few days later and think, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s something a first-grader would have done!” he said with a laugh.

In 17 years of recording and touring, Sanctus Real has performed

at venues ranging from major Christian rock festivals and arenas to tiny clubs and rural churches.

Some memorable moments have come recently, thanks to the success of the soul-stirring ballad “Lead Me,” from the band’s “Pieces of a Real Heart” album, which topped the Christian Adult Contemporary charts for seven straight weeks.

That opened the door for Sanctus Real to reach new concert audiences and new radio listeners, touring with Casting Crowns and playing for 20,000 people a night on the Winter Jam tour.

“It’s interesting how fickle the music industry can be, though,” Graalman said. “That was all more than a year ago. Now the question is, how do we get back there again?

It’s fleeting, just like everything else.” O David Yonke is the editor and community manager of Toledo Faith & Values (ToledoFAVS.com), a website that provides in-depth, nonsectarian news coverage of religion, faith and spirituality in the Toledo area.

Sammy Sammy is a 7-year-old male fox terrier mix. Sammy’s elderly owner had to find Sammy a new family because he was moving into a home that would not allow pets. Even though Sammy has a few years on him, he is still an active boy. He loves to play with toys and enjoys long walks in the park where he can annoy the squirrels nesting in the trees. Sammy is not fond of going to the vet. He has been known to act a bit ornery when he is forced to do things that he does not like and may not be the best match for small children. He is perfect for a home with teenagers who want a dog that

Chicken will chase after a ball and do sprints across the yard. Sammy has been neutered, examined by a TAHS staff veterinarian, is current on his vaccinations and is microchipped.

Chicken is a 4-year-old female gray shorthair tiger. She was taking a stroll through the woods at a Metropark when a nice woman found her and brought her into the Toledo Area Humane Society. Chicken is one of the most affectionate cats ever to arrive at the Toledo Area Humane Society. Her new owner will need to be willing to give her plenty of attention. There is no such thing as “alone time” where Chicken is concerned.

She will spend every waking moment by your side so you need to be a real cat fancier to live with this clingy kitty. Chicken was given her unique name because it is clear that she does not like to be left alone. Chicken has been spayed, examined by a TAHS staff veterinarian, is current on her vaccinations and is microchipped.

Toledo Area Humane Society is located at 1920 Indian Wood Circle, Arrowhead Park, Maumee. Adoption hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
