testing the WatersIn light of the algae bloom crisis last summer, keep-ing an eye on water purity has become an increas-ingly important subject. Ann Keefe, the Lake Erie conservation coordinator for the nonprofit Sierra Club, is recruiting and training residents on how to notice and report pollution in local water sources. By spreading the mission of awareness and health, Keefe hopes to minimize the effects of pollution in the area. The Sierra Club is focusing on four types of pollution that are most prevalent in the greater Toledo area: sewage, industrial, agricultural, and storm water pollution.

Blazing throughOhioA Buckeye Trail veteran

gets us in the loop byAlisonWood-Osmun

Blue PathThe Buckeye Trail is a statewide,

interconnected series of trails wind-ing through forty Ohio counties. High-lighted by bright blue markers, called blazes, the path takes you on a unique hiking adventure through bustling cit-ies, quaint towns steeped in history, and rural areas where the open land expands your perspective. It leads you deep within secluded forests, wrapping you in the sounds of nature, as you keep pace alongside the currents of glistening streams and lakes.

Jim Gilkey, a Columbus, OH native and a member of the Buckeye Trail As-sociation, has hiked all 1400 miles of the BT and shared some of his insights and experiences.TCP: Why do you hike and why hike this trail?Jim Gilkey: I’ve always been curious about my native state of Ohio; my par-ents took us on Sunday drives to explore the area. When I retired, I took a guid-

ed hike through a metropark and I was hooked. Hiking allows you to interact with and discover the world around you and the Buckeye Trail allows you to explore our beautiful state and its history.So the trail loops through the entire state?Yes, it actually spans all four corners and offers hiking terrain variety, from flat land to rolling spans to hilly wildness and paved roads.Do you have any favorite trail sections?I enjoy the Wilderness Loop in the Wayne National Forest (Marietta, OH) with its rugged, hilly areas and amazing rock formations. Historic Zoar, OH (founded in 1817 by German Separatists) is very

interesting. It was one of the first com-munal societies and features some great German architecture. The town’s people helped dig the Ohio-Erie Canal. When do you lead Buckeye Trail hikes, and what makes them special? I lead weekend hikes once a month, year round. It is a fun time and we usually cover 10-12 miles a day. We see and talk about history, geography, geology and nature with a diverse group of hikers and we meet great people along the way.

Using Acupuncture To Overcome Chronic Pain

TCM Wellness Clinic27068 Oakmead Dr., Perrysburg 43551

419-345-4996 www.TamaraTCM.com

A botched Achilles tendon repair in 1998 left a local man, Dale Finkle, with chronic pain and circulation problems. Coupled with Morton’s Neuroma, 67-year old Finkle has spent many years in pain, without significant relief. After undergoing traditional medical treatments suggested by several doctors, including two podiatrists, Finkle knew he needed to try something new. After just a few visits to Tamara Willingham, Finkle finally felt the relief he had been needing for years.

“Her acupuncture skills, coupled with her knowledge and use of traditional Chinese herbs, have worked wonders. Most of the discomfort in my feet is gone. My vitality and energy levels have increased, and walking has once again become enjoyable.

I urge anyone seeking a helpful alternative or supplement to today’s modern medical practices to schedule a consultation with Tamara. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. I cannot praise her enough.”

Dale Finkle’s story reveals the power of the body to heal from chronic pain. If you or a friend is struggling with a

chronic condition, schedule a free 15 minute consultation with Licensed Acupuncturist Tamara Willingham.

Somebody’swatchingmeLocal citizen-led groups keeping an eye on body cameras

byTomKonecnyRegardless of one’s perspective on the

new body cameras adopted by the Toledo Police Department (TPD) in early June, the move was certainly a progressive one. After all, Columbus, the nation’s 15th larg-est city and our state capital, doesn’t even employ them yet.

Body cameras offer a certain level of transparency between officers and civil-ians, with the premise that some video is better than none.

So as many parts of the nation deal with public tension between police and citizens, some local groups have taken an advanced approach to monitoring and even strengthening that relationship.

Accountability in actionTPD has already outfitted 43 officers

with body cameras— at a cost of $500 a piece— with plans to provide cameras for all officers by next year, according to Stacy Weber, Public Information Officer for the City of Toledo. Weber adds that Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson, in full sup-port of body cameras, is concerned with both transparency and safety of the police force.

Weber said that when officers return the body cameras at the end of their shifts, the video is downloaded to a server where the recordings are protected via encryp-tion.

“It really puts people on their best be-havior,” Weber said. “It helps us be more responsive.”

Neighborhood watchNFiveOWatch.com, formed earlier

this year by South Toledo residents con-cerned with national incidents, is bringing the focus to day-to-day interactions right here, right now. The website allows users to submit reports of interactions they’ve had with police officers, with particular emphasis on those with racial minorities.

“The day-to-day harassment of people of color in Toledo really undermines that relationship between police and communi-ty,” said Peter Meinecke, co-founder. “And we wanted them to be able to speak out, which is how the website came about.”

Through a current GoFundMe cam-paign, FiveOWatch will soon be designed

to work on smart phones. Users can then instantly post officer interaction and the site will track which geographic areas in our community generate the most com-plaints. Meinecke contends that will build a case for accountability on both sides.

Meinecke works full-time for the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC), based in Toledo, and through a FLOC-based youth program, he uncovered sys-temic issues which he believes were pre-venting the program’s clients from being successful.

“Police harassment came up [in con-versations with clients], or being abused by the court system, and getting little or no representation,” Meinecke said. “The system works against them in many ways and it all starts with being stopped on the streets. We’re not trying to suggest that every police officer out there is profiling.”

Meinecke said Toledo Police Chief George Kral— promoted to that position last January— has worked with Five-OWatch and has been “very responsive to everything we’re doing.” The group re-mains encouraged by the work Kral has done during his short time in the position, including the appointment of a TPD liai-son to attend meetings with the group to enhance understanding and cooperation.

Another approach Also encouraging accountability, Dia-

logue to Change Toledo was formed in 2013 by groups of citizens who came to-gether to promote conversations about race and to connect different cultures and backgrounds. Over 200 citizens have par-ticipated in six-week programs which fol-low a curriculum and promote an action-based follow-up.

Karen Shepler, a retired pastor who previously served at Monroe Street United Methodist Church, serves as Dialogue’s co-chair and appreciates what the body cameras offer. “I think it’s a great thing, and I think it’s about time with the climate of this country now,” Shepler said.

While Meinecke believes the cameras are a step in the right direction. “It’s really about accountability and giving a voice to the community members who have been mistreated,” said Meinecke.

question, does the Constitution, and par-ticularly the 14th Amendment, protect the right of same-sex couples to marry?

The opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges was clear. The Constitution, said the ma-jority, "grants them that right."

Not in Judge McConnell's courtroom, though, and potentially not in Judge Kuhl-man's, either. Rather than support the Constitution, Judge M instead followed what he describes as his "personal and Christian beliefs." Your Honor, we ask you, is there anything in the oath of office about supporting your Christian beliefs or per-forming all duties so long as it is your per-

sonal opinion that you should do so? Doesn't sound very impartial to us.

We don't doubt that there's a verse somewhere in Judge M and Judge K's Bible that calls a man lying with another man an "abomination," and demands that said miscreants be stoned at the village gates. It's probably right

near the admonition against cutting the corners of your beard and the one against wearing clothing woven of two types of materials. Odd, since both Judge M and Judge K are usually clean shaven, and we bet there's some cotton-poly blends in their judicial closets. So to speak.

Folks who want to substitute religious laws for the secular? That is what we are fighting over in Afghanistan. And there was a time when the Christian Church was the law of the land in Europe. We call those times the Dark Ages. The eventual substitution of reason for blind faith is called the Enlightenment. It happened over four centuries ago.

In summation, Your Honor, we ask you. Shall we expect our jurists, notably Judges McConnell and Kuhlman, to do what they solemnly swore to do? We argue in the affirmative. If they can't, we suggest they resign.

One last thing, Your Honor, then the prosecution rests. We forgot the paren-thetical at the end of the prescribed judi-cial oath of office. The judge may affirm that they undertake their solemn oath as they "shall answer unto God." Ironic, that.

To Judges McConnell and Kuhlman, we admonish you with the words of Mat-thew, Chapter 7, Verse 1. Judge not. Judge not the folks who come before you, in whatever matter, including two consent-ing adults seeking to marry. Or, judge not. Resign.

Don't be a municipal court judge at all.

You be the judge.The prosecution wishes to present

three pieces of evidence for your consider-ation, Your Honor. Exhibit A is the judicial oath of office prescribed by the Ohio Re-vised Code for all judges in the state.

It reads in pertinent part, "I, (insert name), do solemnly swear that I will sup-port the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Ohio, will adminis-ter justice without respect to persons, and will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as (insert office) according to the best of my ability and understanding."

Insert "C. Allen McConnell" and "To-ledo Municipal Court Judge" and you have the oath our dear jurist took before being seat-ed on the bench.

Yet he decided that he had the right to pick and choose among couples seeking to be married in Toledo Municipal Court when he declined to marry Carolyn Wilson and her partner on a recent Monday in July. A bailiff quoted the Judge as declining to perform those "types of marriages," one of the duties of muni court judges. And now devout Catholic Judge Tim Kuhlman has also indicated he is anxious to see if he can opt out of such duties.

Those types of marriages? We ask you, does this sound like administering justice without respect to persons, or impartially performing all duties? Begs the question, Your Honor, what else does he think about "those types of people" when they come into his court?

As to solemnly swearing to support the US Constitution, we ask for your con-sideration of Exhibit B. The 14th Amend-ment to said august document includes the following passage, which we edited slightly for clarity. "No State shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Just what does that "equal protection" have to do with the right of couples to mar-ry? Sounds like an issue of interpretation. Of course you are well aware that the task of interpreting the import of the Constitu-tion is laid at the feet of the US Supreme Court.

We are in luck, Your Honor, for the Court has recently clarified the issue of the 14th Amendment and the right to marry! Not two weeks before Judge Mc-Connell decided he could refuse to treat those types of marriages equally with all other types, the Court asked the rhetorical

When Dr. Sharon L. Gaber set foot on The University of Toledo campus Wednesday, July 1, she did so for the first time as UT’s president.

Selected in March by UT’s Board of Trustees, July 1 marked the end of a 10-month journey that took Gaber from her post as provost at the University of Arkansas to the 17th president and first woman to lead UT in its 143-year history.

“It represents the end of a transition process for me, but it’s a beginning for this institution,” Gaber said. “I’ll be working with students and employees, elected and community leaders, and alumni and friends to elevate The University of Toledo on a national stage. Together, we will demonstrate and create the excellence our students and this community need and expect from us.”

“I know I speak for the entire board when I say how excited we are for the leadership that President Gaber will provide The University of Toledo,” said Sharon Speyer, chair of the UT Board of Trustees. “She brings with her an impressive track record of accomplishment and a clear vision of excellence for UT’s future.”

At UT, Gaber will focus on elevating one of the country’s most comprehensive institutions of higher education through increases in externally funded research, student enrollment and graduation rates, philanthropic support, and the recruitment of leading academic and clinical faculty.

The new president also will be active on Twitter. Follow and connect with Gaber using the handle @UTPresident.

UT launches sports production program with ESPN3

The University of Toledo is launching a production operation that will provide significant exposure and learning opportunities for UT students.

The initiative will feature a minimum of 35 Rocket athletic events that will be carried live on ESPN3, ESPN’s live multi-screen sports network. UT’s broadcast productions will supplement the numerous football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball games already being produced and carried on ESPN and other national and regional networks.

The University will produce home games in men’s basketball, women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, baseball and other sports. The multi-camera high-definition game productions will feature full ESPN-branded graphics, replay and two-person commentator crews.

“We are very excited about this great opportunity to bring so many Rocket athletic events to a national audience on ESPN3,” said UT Vice President and Athletic Director Mike O’Brien. “Not only is this an opportunity to create more exposure for our athletic teams, it will also be a great recruiting tool for our athletic programs and for our University in general.”

The productions will be operated primarily by UT students who are taking courses in television production in the Department of Communication. Staff positions have been added in the Department of Communication to assist with the productions and manage the student staff.

“The opportunity for UT communication students to work on programming that will appear nationally on ESPN3 offers them real-world experience, which is critical to building a sustainable career,” said Debra Davis, dean of the College of Communication and the Arts. “When learning through doing, learning experientially, the students build an understanding of how to respond to crises or unexpected news and the follow-up action needed to complete the task.”

In addition to live event production, Toledo students will produce pregame, halftime and postgame content, feature pieces, in-game and postgame highlight packages, interviews and coaches shows. These events will be available to more than 99 million households and by an additional 21 million U.S.-based college students and military personnel.

Dream vacation: I’d love to travel through Europe and experience all the history and culture.

Stay in or go out?Both!? I think there’s a time and place for both options. Sometimes, I wanna cuddle with a bottle of wine and a movie. But others, I want to get dressed up, go to dinner and hit the town.Toledo is a amazing place that features a lot of events. If you dig hard enough you can find a lot of fun things to do. Just enjoy life and have fun.

Were you a bad kid?I’m sure I was. I tested limits, broke rules and pushed the envelope. I was voted most likely to rule the world and most likely to end up on America’s most wanted in high school (which is kind of funny now, considering my career.)

Most surprising fact about you?I’m pretty handy, I’m a girl who can work on a car or a house and I actually know what I’m doing.

What is the most important lesson you’ve learned?That things can happen and everything can change in the blink of an eye. So, I’ve learned to enjoy life, love hard and to make the most out of everything. There’s really no legitimate reason not to.

Hobbies: Soccer, writing, extreme use of sarcasm and laying in hammocks.

One word to describe yourself: Goofy.

Favorite band/music: Alternative rock or Phil Collins.

Favorite movie: The Shawshank Redemption.

Dream vacation: Fiji.

What kind of a superpower would your ex say you have? The ability to shoot daggers out of my eyes.

What’s the first thing you’re attracted to? It’s a toss-up; I think that personality, obviously, is most important. If a guy can’t

handle my dry sense of humor, we will not mesh well. Generally, I’m first attracted to a man’s eyes though; blue eyes get me every time. However, I also really

appreciate someone who has great manners; it is one of the first things I always notice about people.

Have you had your wild phase yet? I prefer to think that all of life should be wild and spontaneous, and not just a phase.

Staying wild keeps life interesting.

Who is your role model/who had the biggest influence on your life? Phil Collins, hands down.

Favorite band/music: Currently, Ben Pearce.

Favorite movie: The Wolf of Wall Street.

Dream vacation: Fiji Islands.

What kind of a superpower would your ex say you have?She always said I remind her of “The Thing”. I guess it’s because of my super strength and superior rock-like quality.

Furthest you’ve gone in the name of love?I bought a 12k engagement ring. Yes, I was engaged.

Most surprising fact about you?At one point I was considered to be one of the top 20 aggressive inline skaters in the world.

What is the most important lesson you’ve learned?Good opportunities don’t present themselves often, take advantage of them, or lose them forever.

KB Woodson of SylvaniaOccupation: Personal Assistant & Screenwriter

Hobbies: Yoga, dancing, writing film reviews.

One word to describe yourself: Kind.

Favorite band/music: Glass Animals.

Favorite movie: Scream & Death Proof.

Dream vacation: Going to the beautiful country of Brazil and being one with the locals. I see myself dancing, eating and drinking on the beautiful beaches.

What’s the first thing you’re attracted to? The first thing I’m attracted to is a man’s presence, his confidence. Also if he’s wearing sandals, I’d take a gander at his feet to see if they’re nice or not. What can I say, I like feet.

Who is your role model/who had the biggest influence on your life?My role model is everyone [that] I come across. I learn from everyone that’s in my life. I have more than one teacher.

What do you enjoy doing but are terrible at? Being responsible.

Worst thing that has made the best difference? Earlier this year, I came out to my mother and my family. Before I had the courage to do so, I thought coming out to them was the worst thing I could do to [my] family. I thought I’d be judged and ridiculed... that was not the case. After telling them, it freed me. My family has given me so much support and love, and what makes it ten times better is the fact that gay marriage was legalized across the U.S. within the same year of my coming out!

Occupation: Retail Supervisor at Serenity Health & Wellness Center and dog mom

Hobbies: Netflix, antique restoration, dancing like my mother, craft beers and drinking on patios.

One word to describe yourself: Sassy.

Favorite band/music: Men at Work.

Favorite movie: Would you ask someone who their favorite kid is?

Dream vacation: A vacation. Period.

What would you do with $100, a date and a Saturday night in Toledo? My gut response to this question is that, I’m pretty sure $100 would cover a

year’s [worth of a] subscription to Netflix… which is probably why I’m still single. As far as the date, I require all my first dates to be at Swig. I figure if watching me

consume beer and hot dogs is going to be a deal breaker, its probably best we find that out up front.

Were you a bad kid? Absolute terrorist. I have no idea how my parents survived my teen years without developing a serious drinking problem.

What are you determined to have in your life? Nutella.

Who is your role model/who had the biggest influence on your life?My dad. He taught me what sarcasm was at a very young age and it’s been all

downhill from there. If I can find a guy even half as smart and funny as him, I think I’ll be set for life.

What’s the first thing you’re attracted to? When she know’s what she wants.

Stay in or go out?Stay in, grab some beer and a movie and call it a night.

independent and has a solid job, doesn’t live at home, doesn’t drink too much, has style.

Most spontaneous thing you’ve done?I got a random tattoo for $50. The game goes as follows: Pick out a picture from a box, and whatever you pull out you get tattooed.

What is the most important lesson you’ve learned?To not rush into a relationship, to really take your time and get to

know the person on all levels before committing…jumping [in] too quickly gets you in trouble.

Brett Leonard returns home to jumpstart creative initiatives

that put local artists to work and inspire growth

byBethPowder

Sunday, 7.19DoubleIndemnity-Enjoy a screening of Billy Wilder’s classic Hollywood crime drama Double Indemnity (1944), starring Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck. The film noir classic follows an experienced salesman and the seductive wife of one of his clients, and the repercussions of their love affair with a death along the way. 2pm & 7pm. Also on July 20. Franklin Park 16, 5001 Monroe St. & Fallen Timbers 14 with XD, 2300 Village Dr W., Maumee. fathomevents.com

film events

After thirty years of filmmaking in Hollywood, Toledo-native, Brett Leonard, has returned with the intention of devel-oping a slate of films and stimulating the local film economy. But two of his side projects are what have had people talk-ing. Leonard mentors at Keep Toledo Creative, an organization which trains young Toledoans in the creative field with the intention of keeping these local artists in the area while giving them the tools to excel in their trades. He’s also launched an initiative that shines a spot-light on local women.

#Womencandoanything was created to tell the stories of inspiring Toledo woman and to jump-start local media produc-tion. The Promedica spon-sored project is an ongo-ing effort to create what Leonard has dubbed “frag films,” which are short films that will be slowly released in the coming months. Via its Twitter campaign and website, womencandoany-thing.org, the goal is to get as many filmmakers, espe-cially women, engaged in filmmaking.

“This has always been an area of innovation in that Gloria Steinem comes from here. There are great local sto-ries that relate to that… in my industry there’s a tremendous inequity. Literally, only between 7 and 10 percent of top creatives who are driving projects are women. That’s ridiculous.”

“I don’t like inequality. I grew up here— in a place where my parents taught me that prejudice and inequality was not the American way. There was a lot of tolerance here… I wanted to help create something… Now we’re giving it over to women who are starting to drive this initiative,” Says Leonard, who’s involved with the National Women’s History Museum, the Geena Davis Institute for Gender Equality and The New Hollywood Women’s Goals Group.

Socially savvy A small number of the “film frags”

are being created in Los Angeles, but the majority are filmed here in Toledo. The goal is to cast a light on local stories and eventually branch out from there. Because of social media, cinema has changed drastically. These short films can rapidly find a wide audience because they’ll be viewed and discussed over the internet. With Twitter as a promotional tool, content has an almost limitless reach that it never experienced before.

Moving backLeonard and his family felt strongly

about moving back to Toledo because of the opportunities here to build and grow a creative industry. He grew up in Toledo. He left for Los Angeles at age

18 and was directing films within five years. Some of his films include Virtuosity and Lawn Mower Man, and he has worked with Denzel Washington, Russel Crowe, and Pierce Brosnan among other stars. Returning is a way to get back in touch with his roots. He believes there’s a creative renais-sance happening here as evidenced by the June 13th Playtime exhibit which found 2,000 people on the steps of the museum.

When asked if moving back to Toledo was creatively energizing, he responded, “Always. It’s quite chal-lenging [having] lived in the Hollywood environment for thirty years… there’s such a jadedness. I grew up here in Toledo, Ohio as a kid who loved mov-ies. That’s who I really am at my core. Coming back here puts me back in touch with that… You rediscover your creative initiative.”

He continued, “The first thing I really wanted to do was to start to find the energy of young creatives. To stimulate that and see how that grabbed hold. It’s actually been beyond our expectations… There is a renaissance happening here in Toledo. The young people really get it. There’s something happening here. There’s opportunity here. This isn’t nec-essarily a place to leave, it’s a place to grow in.”

The road back to yourselfAfter a bizarre, disturbing discovery of her husband’s fetish, Cass decides to leave him and immediately gets on a bus to Niagara Falls.

The unofficial patron saint of creative bravery, despite loneliness and loss, Frida Kahlo, once said “I paint flowers so they will not die.”

Kahlo contracted polio at age six and suffered major injuries in a bus accident at 17, spending much of the rest of her life spent in hospitals. The artist knew something about using art as a force of creation; she painted the ideal world to preserve beauty and overcome the walls the walls which restrained her.

The exhibition in the Perrysburg Municipal Building, The Art of Conviction, channels Kahlo’s belief in the positive power of creative construction. While flowers and careful, detailed landscapes populate the exhibition, the tone is different. Unlike Kahlo’s attempt to preserve natural beauty, the artists in this exhibition are trying to better the world they once hurt.

Finding the valueWorks of over 20 death row inmates

are currently on display as an exhibition curated by Perrysburg-based art group, The Main Art-ery, in affiliation with the Compassion group, a nonprofit developed by death row inmates in 2001. The works were framed courtesy of an anonymous, local donor.

The Art of Conviction opened July 1, not as a venue for death row inmates to promote their art or to achieve fame, fortune or notoriety, but rather as ground for Compassion’s flower to bloom: a nonprofit fund, providing college scholarships to the family members of murder victims.

All pieces are for sale, with 100% of the proceeds contributed to Compassion’s scholarship fund. Each piece, from each inmate's own inspiration, is unprompted by instructions or material requirements. After creating their works, the pieces are mailed by the prisoners to the Compassion group, coordinated by Fred Moor of Toledo’s St. Rose Parish.

“Compassion really regards this effort with death row prisoners as a way to help them live connected and fruitful lives while they are in prison,” said Moor. “That’s what they work on in a variety of different ways, the artwork being one of them.”

Additional compassion Compassion produces a monthly

newsletter that “is used as a way of helping those in prison to work a more compassionate and giving life,” said Moor.

Compassion is also working to publish their second book directed towards youth at juvenile detention centers, written by death row inmates, who use themselves as an example of the importance of making good choices.

“It is important for people to understand that these are human beings and, despite being convicted of a horrible deed, they are not the sum of the worst thing they have done in their life,” said Moor. “I feel that there is a great capability of human potential and for people to change and do good in their lives, no matter what the situation.”

Through August 15. 8am-4:30pm Monday-Friday, 8am-6:30pm Tuesday.

Wall-to-wall beauty First impressions are important, and Glass City mural artists are ensuring that Toledo visitors are getting the entrance they deserve with two beautiful additions to the periphery of I-280. Recently installed is a 6,000 square foot, kaleidoscopic vision of purple, lime, dark blue and sky blue, entitled Fort Industry, installed by artist Molly Dilworth, and commissioned by the Arts Commission. Fort Industry covers two sides of the Toledo’s Parks Maintenance building, near downtown, and is best seen between the Greenbelt Parkway and Manhattan Boulevard.

DynamicDuoLocal Musicians Candice Coleman and Chris Brown

byKaylaWilliams

Anunlikelypair,anAmericanIdolfinalistandapianist,entertainToledoweekly.

Candice Coleman and Chris Brown almost didn’t become a performance duo.

“A client of mine asked if I would mind playing a party with a singer he knew. I didn’t know who she was. She came over to rehearse and she liked my piano and I liked her singing,” Chris Brown said. “Then the guy canceled the event, so we didn’t end up doing it.”

Later, Brown performed with a ro-tation of singers for weekly gigs around town, and Candice Coleman performed as part of that rotation. Her powerful voice stood out.

“Patrons, bar owners and staff kept asking, ‘Hey, when is that girl [Coleman] coming back?’” Brown recalled. “I asked her if she wanted to make this a standing gig and she said, ‘Sure.’ We’ve been per-forming together ever since.”

Coleman, a top 32 finalist on Ameri-can Idol Season 2, vocalist and guitarist, and Brown, a pianist and vocalist, both have musical histories rooted in child-hood. Coleman trained in musical the-atre as child, and Brown grew up playing piano, both performing in the area from teenage years into adulthood. They’ve played regularly in the surrounding area since forming 4 years ago.

A varied approachColeman and Brown also play at wed-

ding ceremonies, receptions, private par-ties, and corporate events, sometimes hiring other musicians to accompany them, including big bands with horn sec-tions, creating a “completely customiz-able band”.

“It’s interchangeable, so it’s always a new experience. You have different groups of people coming together to per-form. It’s fun,” Coleman stated.

The duo incorporates a diverse ap-proach to the genres of songs they per-form. They play blues, jazz, pop, rock, country, traditional standards, and even songs from film scores. “There’s not much we don’t do,” Brown said.

Coleman shares an evolving roster of songs with Brown. “We both love differ-ent kinds of music which can appeal to all different ages of people.”

Candice Coleman and Chris Brown live, every Tuesday, 6-9pm at Ciao!, 6064 Monroe St.,

Sylvania. 419-882-2334 and every Thursday 6-9pm, Friday & Saturday 6-10pm at The Real Seafood Company, 22 Main St. 419-697-4400.

celery sorbet with peanut almond cake and compressed apples, and a chocolate mousse cake with sour cherries, sea salt ice cream and candied cocoa nibs.

Each dish that Chef Nixon creates is beautiful and filled with bright colors and mind-melting combinations of texture and flavor. And like a chemical composi-tion composed of elements from the peri-odic table, Chef Nixon told me that a great restaurant, “is a sum of all its parts.”

Element 112, 5737 Main St., Sylvania. 419-517-1104. element112restaurant.com

Dorian Slaybod is an attorney happily living in Toledo.

Chef Nixon cares more about ingre-dients than style. “There are at least two perfect items on each plate,” said Nixon, referring equally to the quality of the raw ingredients as well as their preparation. Nixon is ethically scrupulous about what he puts on his plates. Many of the restau-rant’s herbs are grown behind the build-ing, where they compost their own fertil-izer. “Our goal is we throw away almost nothing,” said Nixon.

Each farm is visited to make sure that vegetables are grown with the environ-ment in mind, and animals are given good care. All of their beef comes from a group of Pennsylvania-based farms called Happy Valley Meat, where no cow is ever given a steroid. Each batch of steaks arrives with the name of the cow who provided them.

Chef Nixon served me two roasted div-er scallops from Portland, Maine, seared with an orange glaze, served hot with lo-cal broccoli and house-puffed rice. I also tried a roasted beet salad with candied cashews, goat cheese mousse, and pick-led celery leaves. Also on the menu that night were the gnocchi, as soft as a new pillow, served with béchamel sauce, bread crumbs, and parmesan from Italy. For dessert, the pastry chef, Elizabeth Gen-try, who has worked at Michelin-starred restaurants in New York, Chicago made

French Culinary Institute in New York City. After just 2 months, he was tapped to work for Chef Tom Colicchio, famous for his TV appearances on Top Chef and for his James Beard Award-winning restau-rants like Craft, where Nixon worked for over a year and a half.

Nixon left New York for a chef job in Coldwater, Michigan, a sleepy town of less than 11,000 people. After a couple of diners were so impressed by Nixon’s food that they offered to back him financially if he wanted to open a restaurant in his home town, Nixon moved back and opened Ele-ment 112 in the fall of 2012. During the res-taurant’s construction, Nixon took spent a month working at Noma, in Denmark, named the “World’s Best Restaurant” 4 out of the past 6 years by Restaurant mag-azine. He left Noma understanding that “top restaurants care about everything,” said Nixon.

A Dining ExperienceNixon describes Element 112 as a

“very modern American restaurant.” The name is a reference to the periodic table, where the 112th element, Copernicum, is abbreviated with the Chef ’s initials, “CN.” The name and the restaurant are a repre-sentation of Nixon’s personality.

PLAY BOOK

Close to a dozen staff whisked in, out and around the kitchen in downtown Syl-vania’s acclaimed restaurant, Element 112. A pristine room of stainless steel surfaces and controlled temperature, the cooks looked up. It was a Friday night, and the staff was in the midst of preparing hundreds of plates. Each nightly-changing tasting menu includes, for each diner, 10 surprise dishes made moments before they hit the table. And in a restaurant that sits 50 to 60 people, Element has a kitchen that does not stop moving until the last diner receives her last 3 desserts.

Two young men shucked oysters. An-other finished 2 straight hours of chop-ping fresh beets. The chef de cuisine cut pork belly into equal blocks and remade an aioli, as it did not meld the first time. Two sommeliers strolled back and forth from the dining room, grabbing vintage wines from the cellar. In the center of it all was Executive Chef, Chris Nixon, who announced orders, tasted sauces, demon-strated techniques, fixed plate design, and reviewed every dish that left the kitchen.

Chef NixonChris Nixon grew up in Sylvania, at-

tended St. John’s, and then left Toledo to play lacrosse and study food plating at the College of Wooster, before enrolling in the

CELEBRITY LEO Cancer is ruled by the moon and Leo by the sun. The other ten signs are ruled by planets. The sun moves into its home sign of Leo on the 22nd at 11:30pm. Locally Anita Lopez, County Recorder, and Dan Cummins of Channel 11, both Leos, celebrate their birthdays.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The new moon on the 15th allows you to confirm vacation and recreation plans. Some work (volunteer) is necessary the 18th and 19th. Take a chance and be a winner on the 23rd, but then slow down until the 27th.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Enjoy a festival the 18th and 19th. They are both fun but the 19th is better. After the 23rd you should plan to slow down for the remainder of the summer IF you can. Venus, your ruling planet, slows down the 25th and you will, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The new moon on the 15th gives you good financial news. A festival is fun the 19th and you may be pass-ing out literature for your favorite cause or candidate. Think “new car” but do it before the 25th if you can.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Make a list of goals and resolutions to put into effect the 15th when the new moon makes its annual visit to your sign. A short trip the 18th is fun. Finances improve after the 22nd. Enjoy a weekend away starting the 24th.

LEO (July 23-August 22) Late on the 16th you prepare for another three day weekend starting the 17th. Happy Birthday to you at 11:30 PM the 22nd. You know that Venus and Uranus slow down the 25th and 26th but you will not. You’re still the life of the party.

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) The new moon on the 15th brings attention to volunteer work so you make plans to go wherever you are needed the 18th and 19th. Nobody says “no” to you until the 25th so take advantage of it.

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) You really enjoy a festival the 18th or 19th or both. Do as much as you can before the 25th when Venus slows down dramatically. Someone close to you does the same. Shop the week of the 27th but save your receipts.

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) The 15th is when you should make arrangements for the 18th and 19th. Whatever you do turns out perfectly. You consider career issues the 22nd. You are popular and in demand at events the 25th and 26th.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) The new moon the 15th shines where you get money from an unexpected source. Use it wisely! You are asked to help your favorite cause or candidate the 19th. After the 23rd confirm vacation plans IN WRITING.

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19) Cement a relationship with a very influential person on the 15th. A festival the 19th finds you working. Finances need a close review the 25th and 26th even if you have to take time away from fun and games.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) The new moon on the 15th reminds you to pay attention to your physical body. You have so little willpower. A party the 19th is fun. Put a star on your calendar the 23rd when your partner becomes your cheerleader.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Your cre-ative ability on the 15th helps you make plans for a trip the 18th and 19th. There are changes at work starting the 23rd. A party on the 25th may be tiring. Plan to sleep late the 26th because you need the rest.

STYLE SENSE by Beth Powder

Adrienne ArmstrongArt TeacherAdrienne is a local art teacher with a penchant for collecting antiques. She loves painting miniature Asian-inspired pen and ink drawings and hosts biannual clothing swaps for fellow clothing hoarders like herself. The twenty-year vegan discusses how her influences range from her punk rock past to Betty Draper.

What are some of your early influences?I was hanging out at Frisch’s and met all these fun people who are [now] my current friends. I didn’t just want to be the goth girl with a long black dress. I wanted to give it style. I would wear fun little skirts and things like that… I started getting into punk rock scene. That was fun, that was a different style… as I’ve gotten a little older I’ve given it more of a grown up feel.

I feel like my style right now is a retro-ey, punky, goth mash-up of me.Where do find your clothes?I do clothing swaps twice a year… they are kind of an art. I’ll [also] go to thrift shops. Once in a while I’ll go somewhere nice, like I had a little stint with Betsey Johnson. [In my closet] I’ll have a Betsey Johnson dress next to a $7.99 thrift store find, next to a big pink 50s dress.

How do you accessorize?I dabble in purses. There’s always the right purse to go with every outfit. My favorite is a little oriental box. I really like antique purses because I feel like they go with any outfit.

What else inspires you?Sometimes it’ll be a song. I look to movies and TV a lot, too. Right now, I’m in a big Mad Men phase, so I’ve been really into Betty Draper.

If your house caught on fire what would you grab?I would grab my gingham dress, I wore it to a baseball game last night. It always makes me feel pretty. [I’d also grab the] plaid kilt I’ve had since I was 16. Kilts will always make you look amazing. [As well as] the party dress [I have] from the 50s that’s pink and mesh— It’s for special occasions.
