Going greenThe power behind the Toledo rebirth

By Johnny Hildo

CITY SIDEHistory shouldn’t be boring

Ohio Chautauqua to bring ‘Living History’ to RossfordBy Christine A. Holliday

Think you know the story of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein? Ever wonder how President Teddy Roosevelt became connected to cuddly stuffed bears? Hear those stories, and others, when Ohio Chautauqua, a touring living his-tory fair, makes a local stop.

Under the big red-and-white striped tent at Rossford’s Veterans Memorial Park (300 Hannum Ave.), history re-enactors will appear in character to talk about his/her life and to interact with audience mem-bers. Each evening will feature a single story. Mary Shelley will ex-plain why Frankenstein is much more than just a monster story. Teddy Roosevelt will talk about his life as an explorer and a hunter (and the first “Teddy Bear”), Dian Fossey will tell about her work with the mountain gorillas in Rwanda. Shawnee Indian Chief Cornstalk will explain how his people had to learn to live with the American col-onists at the time of the American Revolution. Even, Marie Curie will make a cameo to explain what she did to help save lives during World War I (bet you’ve never heard this story!).

The Chautauqua program was established by Ohio Humanities in 1999 as part of its mission to “help individuals and communities explore, share, and be inspired by the human experience.” The Rossford program will mark the second time Ohio Chautauqua has appeared there; the first was in 2013.

Familiar facesSusan Marie Frontczak, who appears as Marie Curie and Mary Shelley,

has been a history re-enactor for 15 years. “I didn’t like history when I was a kid,” she explains, “because it was

so dry. But, when I left the world of engineering to become a storyteller, I learned so much that was interesting. I found that the issues these famous people dealt with are still issues today, and human beings are still struggling to make a better world. These presentations are about history, but they are also about ‘humanness’ and I think there is something for everybody.”

Tuesday, June 28-Saturday, July 2. 10am/youth presentations, 2pm/adult presentations, 6:30pm/live local music, 7:30pm/evening shows (one each night).

Daytime performances held at the library, night performances at the park. The Rossford Public Library, 720 Dixie Hwy., Rossford.

614-461-7802. ohiohumanities.org/ohiochataugua Free

History will come alive in Rossford when Ohio Chautauqua brings five history re-enactors to the stage at the Veterans Memorial Park.

We’ve heard all the naysayers.“Why don’t we put the green lights

around the whole city?”“Why don’t we just rename it

“Promedica-ville?” Why all the hate, mate? We don’t recall

such angst when Owens Corning decided to move their headquarters a few blocks and redevelop vacant industrial land on the riverfront. Or when developer Dave Ball went around buying up properties all over downtown, or when the Eyde brothers, from Lansing up north, did the same.

Heck, there wasn’t this kind of hand-wringing when Owens Illinois LEFT downtown for greener Perrysburg pastures.

Mebbe it’s just the tenor of the times, and the haters gonna hate. The truth is, there’s lots of need for redevelopment in an aged industrial city like Toodleydoo. What is needed is not just a vision for repurposing. What is needed is a vision backed by cold, hard caish.

Checks and balancesIt might surprise some of you, but

healthcare is big business these days. It’s true. The baby boomers are now in their sixties and seventies. And there’s a whole gob of ‘em. With health insurance. Paying ever rising costs to the health care system.

It might also be a surprise that Promedica is a not-for-profit enterprise. That doesn’t mean they can’t make a profit. They make a nice one. It just means they don’t have stockholders or other such beneficiaries to whom those profits are owed.

What to do with all that green? And we don’t mean neon lights, folks. What better to do than reinvest it in ways that improve the community? Enter the vision of CEO Randy Oostra. Redeveloping an abandoned property downtown, one that has had

several artists’ renditions but not a shovel of dirt turned, into a new HQ. Refocusing the aged Colony into a dynamic main campus complex for the Toledo Hospital.

And now, facilitating the sale of the Marina District so it can be developed into a signature riverfront Metropark. Yeah, that’’s not what all the artists’ renditions pictured over the years. It’s not what Larry Dillin or Dashing Pacific promised.

If wishes were wings, kidz, pigs would fly. They aren’t, and pigs can’t. And neither can Dillon or DP.

Here we are in twenty sixteen, and some of the long standing eyesores downtown are at long last poised for redevelopment, with wishes backed not by pretty pictures but by checks with lots of zeroes. The kinds of checks that have been missing from every promise for the last two decades-plus.

Stop lamenting the by-lines on those checks. It’s finally happening.

Big mo’In other news, the former Jeep plant

site is being redeveloped into a major Dana manufacturing facility. This is in part because the current Jeep facility will continue humming along productively. And an as-yet unidentified end user has been found for the old Southwyck property. This because of the development and financial wherewithal of Ed Harmon and the NAI Harmon Group. Can NorthTowne be far behind?

We await the cynicism and negativity blasted toward these projects. It will surely come. But the rebirth won’t be deterred by social media vitriol. The forward-thinking momentum is too strong.

Fine. Haters gonna hate. Meanwhile, haters, get outta the way and let the shovels turn dirt.

Is the Glass CIty

Summer,NWOStyle Adventures continue at the Toledo Metroparks

ByAlisonWood-Osmun

Summer in our Northern Hemisphere officially arrives on Monday, June 20 at 6:34am, so whether you celebrate your season in high gear or in mellow relaxation, the Metroparks are the places to be. Check out these great activities, amenities, trails and a new historic site.

Path perfection Along the pathway of the Wetwoods trail (red trail .9 mile loop), there

is a newly constructed boardwalk. For about a quarter mile, the board-walk winds through the lush swamp forest, providing walkers with a way to traverse the wet, muddy areas (which make the trail almost inacces-sible at times). Benches invite trail-goers to sit and take in the peace and calm nature has to offer in what has become a popular habitat for birds, butterflies and dragonflies. The Wetwoods trail has its own park-ing area, follow the signage on the park’s Tupelo Way— a sun-dappled, tree-lined road.

Secor Metropark, 1001 W. Central Ave., Berkey. 419-407-9700. metroparkstoledo.com

Happening historyNamed after upended trees,

the Battle of Fallen Timbers National Historic Site opened in October 2015 to honor the locale’s place in regional his-tory— the August 1794 battle over land ownership. In an ef-fort to seize the northern sec-tion of Ohio, “Mad” Anthony Wayne led US Troops through a hard, bloody battle against the British-supported Native Amer-icans— the US triumphed.

The 1.4 mile trail leads you along the battlefield. Exceptional signage explains the circumstances and political nuances leading up to the conflict and how the outcome influenced future disputes. Deeper along the path, signage notes the battle’s key details and strategic tactics.

The Battle of Fallen Timbers National Historic Site, 4949 Jerome Rd., Maumee.

Not to miss:Discover the rarely explored special features of area Metroparks with The Hidden Gems Series. These fun, mini festivals, offer food,

music and tours with naturalist interpreters and rangers.

Held on Saturdays during the season. 10am-2pm, Pearson Park, (June 28), Westwinds (July 30)

Providence (August 7h), and Blue Creek Conservation Area (October 8).

While cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and New York have advantages, the hype of “moving to the big city” is overblown. A new era shows medium sized Midwestern cities with a seat at the adult table, and Toledo deserves recognition.

Skeptical? Take a look at these new locals— bringing experience in creative arts, politics and social activism to our area. Some are calling Toledo home for the first time, while others are returning to the Glass City with a fresh perspective.

Whatever path they took to get here, all of these individuals are proud to call Toledo home.

LISASolstis

via Los Angeles

Why I’m here: Toledo has an inviting and mellow atmosphere for families with small children. Our work was at a place where we could leave L.A. (after seven years), and still have strong ties to the city. Above all, we lead a faith-based life and really felt God was calling us back to Ohio.

What would you tell out-of-towners about Toledo? Toledo is a city where there’s room and space— not just physical, but an environment that’s peaceable enough to think, dream, and accomplish, and the cost of living is fairly low. This city is open to all things new.

Toledo’s next steps: It can be too easy to take it slow here— I feel creativity brewing because other people are hungry for the same thing. It’s my hope that we can pool our thirst for thriving and really create an extra-exceptional city. Toledo is ready for it.

What sets Toledo apart from other cities? This city is a gold mine for thrifting and estate sales. Our family lives in a sort of unconventional style, approximately 75% of the things in our home are previously owned.

From Oregon, Ohio

Moved to: Los Angeles, then moved to Toledo after seven years on the west coast.

What she did: She and husband, Dan, started a jewelry business (L.A.S. Jewelry) and a family in Los Angeles.

What she does now: Expanding L.A.S. as a brand and launching a t-shirt line with Lisa’s illustrations to accompany the jewelry.

Roerigvia New York City

Noelle Why I’m here: I wanted to do some moving around and

exploring, but NYC wasn’t conducive for that. [As a booking agent] Toledo allows me to help Ben build his music career— just

picking up and going on tour for a month is feasible here in a way that wasn’t in NYC.

What I brag about: The Toledo story is the way every cool place starts: People know and care about what is happening in

the area. You feel like you are part of something special.

Toledo’s next steps: In Dayton, there is a great place called the Oregon District. Toledo’s Adams Street corridor has the

potential to become similar by growing into a great place with locally-owned restaurants, businesses, vintage shops and bars.

From Dayton

Moved to: Bowling Green for college, then Nantucket for an internship, which led to a culinary career in NYC. Now in Toledo.

What she did: Worked at notable NYC restaurants (a back leader and barista for The Modern at the New York Museum of Modern Art and server at NoMad, both high-end dining establishments).

What she does now: Server at Manhattan’s Pub n’ Cheer and as the booking agent for her fiance, Ben Stalets, a local country singer/songwriter.

Why I’m here: I was working in Manhattan and living in Brooklyn with my wife and infant twins. The opportunity arose to help lead a world-class library system here in Toledo— it was too good to pass up.

What I brag about: NW Ohio natives tend to think the grass is greener elsewhere. I grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland, lived in Bowling Green, Wyoming, Tucson, and New York City. Each has its own charm, but my overall quality of life has never been better than it is here.

Toledo’s next steps: I see big things on the horizon. I’m encouraged by the amount of collaboration happening between leaders of our cultural institutions. The Toledo Area Cultural Leaders (chaired by the Museum with the Arts Commission) meet regularly to explore opportunities for shared programs and services. Between their work, the planning of the 22nd Century Committee, and the investment in manufacturing we’re seeing come back to the region, I think we have a lot of the right ingredients.

Did you have ideas about the Glass City that changed after moving here? I think it was hard to see opportunity in Toledo when I left 10 years ago. Today, it feels like possibility is around every corner. You see all kinds of creative endeavors popping up— the city has good bones for people to build on.

What sets Toledo apart from other cities? One thing that sets us apart is our Midwest modesty. For all that we have here in our backyard, I think our regional pride should be on full display— everywhere. Every city has its problems, but those shouldn’t overshadow all the great things we have at our fingertips here in Toledo.

From Willoughby, Ohio (20 minutes east of Cleveland)

Moved to: Bowling Green for school, Toledo to run Clamor Magazine and Allied Media Projects, Tucson for library science grad school, and NYC for work. Now in Toledo.

What he did: He was the director of a nonprofit member services organization for libraries in NYC.

What he does now: Serves as the Deputy Director of Toledo Lucas County Public Library (toledolibrary.org) where he works with public service administrators to provide programs and services for the local community.

KucsmajasoN via New York City

Noelle


From East Toledo

Moved to: After University of Toledo, NYC for graduate school. Now in Toledo.

What she did: Used her Masters in Divinity from Union Theological Seminary and a Masters in Social Work from Hunter College during her time as a social worker in the Bronx.

What she does now: Serves as a hospital chaplain and is a board member of Equality Toledo (equalitytoledo.org)

Why I’m here: After graduating high school in 2009, I received an email from Aaron and Nicole Coulter (who have been involved with Haiti through their Charity, Hut Outreach since 1997). They informed me that they were going to host me for my college education— they had even purchased my plane ticket. Thirteen days after my arrival in Toledo, the earthquake of 2010 devastated Haiti. This is when I decided to stay in Toledo to pursue my college career. Since then, I have called Toledo, my sweet home.

What I brag about: Toledo offers everything you need: great universities, great attractions and affordable living. This community is very resourceful, supportive and fun! As I typically share with others every time I get the opportunity, I could not have been more excited to come to this Land of Opportunity— Toledo. I would, without a doubt, tell others that Toledo has played a tremendous part in my success today. I wouldn’t be able to accomplish nearly as much as I have been able to if I landed in another city.

Toledo’s next steps: With several of the current downtown projects serving as catalysts, I see a revitalization to our downtown with the creation and retention of jobs, up-rise in the “TREP” (entrepreneurial) opportunities, and entertainment.

getroJean-Claudevia Haiti

From Les Cayes, Haiti (southern part of Haiti)

Moved to: Toledo (in December, 2009) directly from Haiti after graduating high school.

What he did: A graduate of the University of Toledo, he led several student organizations, including Toledo CAN which provides clean water and school supplies to people in need in third world countries. In 2013, he interned at the Toledo Lucas County Port Authority.

What he does now: A Financial Analyst for the Port Authority (toledoport.org), where, along with traditional loans, he manages the ECDI loan program which provides funds to entrepreneurs that would not be eligible for conventional financing. He is also the sole owner of the photobooth and video company, CAN Digital Group (candigitalgroup.com)— primarily focused on providing services to nonprofit organizations.

Why I’m here: In February of 2014 I started with Equality Ohio, a statewide LBGTQ advocacy group, working in the areas of employment,

housing and public accommodation.

What I brag about: There is an impression that Toledo is a boring, quiet place with nothing going on. As you spend some time here, it becomes very

apparent how false that perception is.

Toledo’s next steps: There are so many voices when it comes to a vision for Toledo— I am amazed at both the activist and artist communities here. As a daughter of a Hungarian refugee, I envision Toledo as a welcoming

community for immigrants and refugees from all over the world.

My next steps: I became part of the Executive Committee of Equality Toledo, so I am now taking more of a leadership role. I am looking forward

to the advocacy and educational opportunities that help affirm and celebrate the LBGTQ community.

suzyUjvagi

via New York City

Why I’m here: I wanted to branch out after college and do a little more of my own thing. Dean and Steven were here, and they were interested in working with me, so it just made sense.

What I brag about: If you want a small-town vibe with an artistic community— It’s sort of the perfect marriage of the two.

Toledo’s next steps: Things are on the upswing— people are starting to open up spaces or their houses as venues for bands to play. From a music standpoint, I wouldn’t change much.

What should locals look out for? More live music. I feel like we have a fairly diverse music community— people who are talented enough for an entertaining show.

Moved to: Athens, Ohio to attend Ohio University where he met fellow musicians, Toledo na-tives Dean Tartaglia and Steven Warstler. Now in Toledo.

What he did: After graduating from OU, Tim landed in Toledo in the fall of 2014.

What he does now: In just over a year he has released an EP titled “Change of Pace”, and an LP titled What A Weird Thing, and he has toured the Mid-west. Korenich plans to have another album out this summer. timkorenich.bandcamp.com.

From Cleveland

Moved to: New York for a Masters of Fine Art from the Pratt Institute. Now in Toledo.

What she did: Began teaching at Siena Heights College (Adrian, MI) in 2012.

What she does now: Assistant professor of art and Director of the Klemm Gallery at Siena Heights College.

Why I’m here: Toledo just seemed like a good fit for me. I had always liked it here when I visited, and once I moved here

and started meeting people, it felt like home.

What I brag about: There is such a dynamic and tight-knit arts community, which I’ve been lucky to be a part of. Toledo’s a really great

place for an artist to make exciting things happen.

Toledo’s next steps: I would love to see the creative community grow and have a more noticeable role in the development of downtown— there

are lots of things, besides nightlife, that interest people.

Did you have ideas about the Glass City that changed after moving here? I feel like it is fairly easy to make any idea happen. A pop-up gallery with a show— or any type of art project I dream up with friends

of mine— can be done without much trouble or expense.

Toledo dining options are varied and plentiful, but we have not yet been blessed with the splendor of pasties. Relying on the familiarity of the northern Michigan stuffed staple (pronounced pass-tee), Kathy and Bill Spencer (yes, Blizzard Bill) of Maumee, are looking for a Tole-do location for their already successful Michigan venture, Kathy’s Pasties.

It is all about location“Kathy would like to open a

place in Toledo, but it’s got to be the right spot,” said Bill, known to most as Blizzard Bill Spencer of 13abc. “Kathy’s Pasties one of the fastest growing pasty stores in northern Michigan.”

Kathy delivers to customers in Ann Arbor, Detroit and Lansing, in addition to Toledo. The pasty popularity has even spawned an online ordering system, where pasties are shipped via insulated boxes anywhere in America. The closest pasty restaurant to Toledo is in Detroit, according to Bill.

So what is a pasty?“It’s really a glorified pot pie,” Bill

said, as he described the flaky crust, semicircle pastry filled with fresh meat and vegetables. Part of Kathy’s Pasties’ success is due to the product’s fresh-ness: vegetables aren’t pre-cut or fro-zen. Kathy meticulously peels and chops ingredients in sight of customers daily, so they know they’re fresh. That kind of attention to detail means they can only make about 16 every 4-6 hours.

“It’s labor intensive, it’s time con-suming, but it’s worth it,” said Bill. “It’s like Thanksgiving dinner every day.”

The pasty is prevalent around the Great Lakes region, owing its begin-nings to coal miners who once brought them for lunch and re-warmed them on mining rocks.

For now, it’s FarwellThe two happened upon their cur-

rent Farwell, Michigan location— exactly 216 miles away— while va-cationing there 10 years ago. Kathy has spent about four days per week at the restaurant for the past nine years serving an appreciative crowd (includ-ing many tourists) her mouthwatering meals.

As for Blizzard Bill, he continues his work at 13abc, far from Kathy’s kitch-en— except for weekend dishwashing duties.

“Everybody knows [Kathy] up there,” he said. “But I don’t cook. Be-lieve me, you don’t want anything I’ll make. I used to work [in TV] in north-ern Michigan, so a few people remem-ber me there. But I do weather, she does pasties.”

They’ll keep looking for the proper location in Toledo, but they’re investi-gating carefully.

“Yes, we are looking for a store-front,” Bill said. “We always keep look-ing. It’s got to be the right place.”

For more information, visit kathyspastie.com.

Baked golden brown and filled with savory ingredients, these Michigan

pies are not yet in Toledo.

InaworldofimaginationPerrysburg Musical Theatre presents Big Fish

ByEmilyRemaklus

Imagination can be a powerful thing, characterizing individuals and determining how we view the world. The mystery of the imagination creates conflict between father and son in the upcoming Perrysburg Musical Theatre production of Big Fish.

Family conflictsBig Fish follows the life of Will, a

soon-to-be dad who has always had a very different outlook on life than his own father, Edward. On a journey to bet-ter understand him, Will tries to com-prehend Edward’s wild imagination and the tales he tells. Edward’s exquisite stories, which include a witch, a circus, and a field of daffodils, are interwoven with the present day scenario through lighting, backdrops and costumes. It is clear from the outset that Edward’s col-orful imagination contrasts with Will’s strictly black and white view of the world— creating conflict between the two men.

Based on Tim Burton’s 2003 film Big Fish, the musical features minor dif-ferences. Elizabeth Cottle, who stars in the musical production as Edward’s wife, Sandra, explains, “The musical condenses a lot of the stories into a single song.”

D. Ward Ensign, who plays the role of Edward, adds, “There are subtle dif-ferences to make this story move a little quicker [than the film version].”

Love and shelterWhen LGBTQ+ teens are kicked out of their disapproving parents homes, they often seek solace in a homeless shel-ter. In the 2015 play “Spin” by Emilio Rodriguez, two roommates at a shelter for LGBTQ+ teens struggle together as homeless, gay youth of color in present day America. One is open for love, and the other is closed off— but their mu-tual struggles and individual secrets draw them together. This hip-hop love story first premiered at Theater Nova in Ann Arbor last year as a staged reading under the name “Swimming While Drowning.” See the revamped produc-tion during its four week run, premiering Friday, June 17. Through July 10. 8pm Thursday-Saturdays, 2pm Sundays. $20 suggested donation, but every ticket is pay-what-you-can. Theatre Nova, 410 W. Huron St., Ann Arbor. 734-635-8450. theatrenova.org

Acting inside the black boxAs opposed to traditional theaters— with the stage directly in front of rows of theater seats— black box theaters are smaller and more in-timate, wrapping the audience around the stage and closer to the performers. Experience this thrill-ing theater dynamic during the Tecumseh Center for the

Arts (TCA) Black Box Summer Series. On the fourth Thursday of June, July and August, the TCA’s black box theater will fill with Michigan talent. An Evening With Tecumseh Players will serve as June’s kick off. To utilize the unique theater space, the Players will present an interactive staged reading of the witty, high-energy “The Kathy and Mo Show.” 7pm Thursday, June 23. $10/each, or $25/for all three Black Box Summer Series performances. Tecumseh Center for the Arts, 400 N. Michigan St., Tecumseh, MI. 517-423-6617. thetca.org

Well-deserved, eh?

The Glacity Theatre Collective (GTC) is soon to hit the road. Last August, GTC premiered House of Vinyl, an original work created by Toledo-native Edmund Lin-gan. The psychedelic musical was locally lauded for its innovative “Junkbox Theatre” style. Created from unfinished scripts, loosely connected scenes, props, and themes, the malleable storyline produces a new experience during each performance. Now, GTC will travel to Toronto to perform House of Vinyl at the Toron-to Fringe Festival, an annual festival of up-and-coming experimental works. Before they leave, House of Vinyl will play two local performances to help offset the cost of the trip. Additional support can be donated on gofundme.com/Glacity. 8pm Friday, June 25 & Satur-day, June 26. $20. The University of Toledo Main Cam-pus Center for the Performing Arts Center Theatre, 1910 W. Rocket Dr. glacity.tix.org —AC

The magic of musicA relatively young musical, Big Fish

debuted on Broadway in 2013, bringing it to the area for the first time, PMT is excited to share a variety of musical styles, from tap numbers and ballads to some country western twang.

“We started as a board looking at shows a year in advance. I always loved the movie, and once I listened to the mu-sic… I was sold,” says Julie Bermudez, PMT artistic director and board member.

As the story includes many flash-backs from Sandra and Edwards’ younger years, representing an age range is one of the greatest challenges for Cottle, “It is important to make sure the elements of maturity are where they should be.”

The scene changes quickly in this production, so there is no chance to use makeup to distinguish the various ages that Ensign and Cottle represent. Cottle stated, “A lot of the age distinc-tion will be accomplished through char-acterization.”

“[Big Fish] evokes so much emo-tion from you. It’s a heartfelt story. Not a typical love story between a couple, but one between father and son,” notes Bermudez, it is a produc-tion not to be missed.

Rising, Awakening, DescendingLocal vampire film series with a lot of bite

By Jon Ruggiero

Northwest Ohio has become a habi-tat for horror films over the past few years. Everything from slasher flicks and creature features to zombie mov-ies have recently been created by local filmmakers. Soon enough, Toledo will have a vampire film trilogy to call its own thanks to local director Chad Zu-ver, creator of the New Blood series. The second film of the series will pre-miere at the Maumee Indoor Theatre in August, and a campaign is underway to raise funds for the third production of the series.

Vampiric originsThe New Blood series began with

the release of New Blood Rising in 2014, which is available to screen on You-Tube. It tells the story of a dwindling family of vampires looking to restore their bloodline in a small town. “I’ve had the idea since 2012 for the film,” explained Zuver. “We started filming it in 2013.” Zuver’s company, Shattered Image Films, he co-founded with Hol-land-Ohio native Allan Meyette in 2013.

New Blood Awakening, which fol-lows a handful of humans looking to survive after the events of Rising, will premiere at the Maumee Indoor The-atre on August 22. “We filmed Awaken-ing last summer. Right before produc-tion I got the idea for Descending, and started writing that. We’ll start filming that this fall,” said Zuver.

Saturday, 6.18Saturday Night at the Movies - Enjoy watching a movie under the stars. On June 18, catch a screening of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and on June 25, Max.

A reel celebrationThe local film scene is on a roll, and Toledo filmmaker Michael Desanto is taking the lead with the premiere of his latest short film. During Movie Night at the Maumee Indoor Theatre, local comedy and film unite for an evening of visual entertainment. At 6pm, The Untitled Improv Show takes the stage with stand-up from area comedians, followed by a screening of Desanto’s previous work, Spy College, which follows the double life of a spy-in-training. The main event, at 8pm, is the world premiere of Desanto’s Ten Minutes to Earth, and a special Q&A with the cast and crew following the show. Hosted by the director, the evening is a celebration of the community support he has received throughout his film career. Refreshments will be served. 6-9pm Thursday, June 16. $8 at the door. Maumee Indoor Theatre, 601 Conant St., Maumee. 419-897-8901. greateasterntheatres.com, facebook.com/batatom —MLR

Funding The DescentDescending will start filming this

fall, with support from a current Indi-eGoGo campaign. This isn’t Zuver’s first crowd-funding venture; Awaken-ing also had an IndieGoGo campaign. “Descending is doing much better so far,” with more than $1,900 raised, “and over 35,000 people have visited the crowdfunding site,” according to Zuver. Along with a host of talented Toledo natives, Descending’s cast includes Child’s Play’s Alex Vincent, The Walk-ing Dead’s Moses J. Moseley, and The Crazies’ Lynn Lowery.

Marketing has also helped get the word out about Descending. Zuver ex-plained, “My producer, Brian Jones, and I made a press release and sent it all over [town], which we didn’t do with Awakening. Brian’s actually helped a lot with marketing, and we’ve been able to do different podcasts and interviews about the films.”

Why are indie filmmakers making horror films? Zuver posits that it’s just the nature of the genre: “With action, comedy, romance, etc., we’ve seen it all, and a lot of stuff is rehashed. Yes, horror can be rehashed, but each per-son has their own take on what scares them, and that’s always fun to see.”

The science of seeing Since its origins, photography has been allied with science and technol-ogy. We use images to see and understand, but how reliable are images? When comparing our solar system to our neurons, our understanding becomes blurry— we don’t always know what exactly we’re looking at. Eric Zeigler, professor of Photography and New Media at the University of Toledo, explores these questions in his photography, with abstracted images rendered from NASA and other scientific organizations. See Zeigler’s solo exhibit, underlying, at River House Arts during the 3rd Thursday opening reception. 6-9pm, Thursday, June 16. Through July 30.

Power The Tower looks to raise money for community radio station

ByJonRuggiero

Since 2013, Toledo Integrated Media Education (TIME) has been creating a community-based radio station for the greater Toledo area. With an FCC programing license, a stable of shows, and a call sign, 106.1 WAKT is ready to broadcast talk and music programming created in Northwest Ohio. But before powering up in July, there are a couple of bills to take care of.

“We are a few thousand dollars shy of being able to cover all of our startup costs,” explained Sean Nestor, board member of TIME. To cover those costs, TIME will host the ‘Power the Tower’ fundraiser and concert at the Original Sub Shop on Thursday, June 16.

Making airwaves“WAKT’s mission

statement is to bring a voice to underrepresent-ed perspectives in the Toledo area,” said Nestor. “As an independent media outlet, we will be empowering Toledoans to talk to each other which will build a stronger com-munity.” WAKT’s local-ly-produced programs will cover a variety of top-ics, and this diversity will allow WAKT to be dif-ferentiated from other Toledo stations.

To give listeners a taste of WAKT, TIME has put a few audio pilot episodes online, focusing on local music, as well as a wide variety of talk shows, from the parenting-focused Transparency to the environmentally conscious Black and Green Radio. These pilot episodes can be found on TIME’s YouTube page and Soundcloud channel (search Toledo Integrated Media Education on both webpages).

But TIME is bringing more than just local programs to Toledo. “We will also be syndicating some popular programs that don’t currently air in Toledo— Democracy Now!, Thom Hartmann, and Union Edge — as part of our daytime programming block through the week,” Nestor explained.

A party for powerThe June 16 fundraiser aims to raise funds to turn on the radio tower and

get WAKT on the air, during this month’s Summer Spectacular Art Loop, The Original Sub Shop on Broadway will host the bands Shmotel, Kid Kris, Seven the Outlaw, and Huntor Prey, local food trucks and beer vendors, to raise mon-ey for WAKT.

Most importantly, “Attendees will also be able to find out more about the ef-fort,” said Nestor: “how they can get involved, volunteer for the station, or even have their own show.” If you can’t make it to the fundraiser, you can still donate to the cause, learn more about the station and how to apply for your own radio show on WAKT’s website, wakt.fm

Toledo According to_____________!Lillian Briggs

How Lillian fills up her Glass (City)

• The first three words that come to mind about Toledo are “YOU’LL DO BETTER”. • Too many people think all of the negative press is true, but it’s wrong because Toledo is a wonderful place to find your voice or your wings. • (3) My favorite night out in Toledo is the Holiday with Heart Charity Gayla & Cat Fest (tied). • Going to the Toledo Museum of Art makes me feel like I am out of town. • Toledo Pride is my favorite annual event. • My favorite neighborhood is the Old West End. Best hood in town. • I wish Red Wells was still open.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) Get some rest before you take off the 18th and 19th. The full moon the 20th shines directly on you so behave yourself. A computer or phone malfunction the 23rd is irritating. Stay near home the 25th and 26th.

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19) On the 17th your partner does nice things for you. This continues through the week of the 20th. Pay bills the 24th so you have a clean slate for the upcoming holiday. Someone else is making the plans.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) Take a chance and be a winner the 17th. Travel on Father’s Day. The full moon the 20th shines on your good health. Start an exercise routine. By the 25th plan for the remainder of June. Don’t procrastinate.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) On the 17th your creativity is stronger than your prac-ticality. On the summer solstice plan for the rest of the month. Your best day is the 28th when you complete your agenda. Both fish swim in the same direction.

CELEBRITY AQUARIANS The United States is a Cancer Country – born on the 4th of July. People born under this sign are very patri-otic as well as home and family oriented. Examples are Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Clarence Thomas. Locally Robert Shiels, weath-er on Channel 11, and Michael Ploger (at left), sports on Channel 24, light candles.

Veronica Lee FletcherAge: 44 Occupation: Owner of Heaven On Earth Salon (1612 W. Sylvania Ave. 419-917-1268) and Licensed Cosmetology Instructor

You cannot tell by her youthful spirit, lace blouse and form-fitting leather pencil skirt that the woman with the big wavy hair is in fact, a grandmother. The owner of a small, but successful, salon on Sylvania Ave., Veronica spends her days beautifying others while staying lovely herself, switching hairstyles with her outfits. There isn’t a look that this talented cosmetologist hasn’t tried— or isn’t willing to try.

How do you decide which item to buy and which one gets left on the rack? I’m a lady who is driven by color. If it pops, then I want it. I love the sun so I have to buy anything that is bright and catches my eye.

Do your jewelry and accessories compliment every outfit? Definitely. It’s always good to bring a bit of bling and sparkle to your attire.

Where do you find the pieces that you wear? Sometimes I get items from my cousin, Sunshine (a fellow proud Toledoan), who is a traveling designer. Once a month she hosts a pop-up shop at my salon for her clothing line Deevaz & Diamonds.

Who is your ultimate fashion icon? Kimora Lee Simmons. After reading her book ‘Fabulousity,’ I realized that a lot of her style reminded me of myself. I am impressed with her business savvy.

What would you never get caught wearing outside of your home? I love wearing outfits that compliment my figure and personality, so I don’t ever wear sweatpants in public. I don’t really wear athletic clothing because I’ve always been into dressing up, even when I don’t have to.
