Pondering Pacific

n his April 21 story, “Marina District project progressing but slower than anticipated,” Toledo Free Press Senior Business Writer Duane Ramsey updated us on the status of Dashing Pacific’s work on that former albatross of the city.

“Chinese investment group Dashing Pacific continues to work on financing and planning for the Marina District project in Toledo. Company officials provided an update through Rudolph|Libbe of Walbridge, the construction manager for the project,” Ramsey reported. “Dashing Pacific is planning a mixed-use development to include both commercial and residential components, such as residential rental and sale properties, retail, restaurants, entertainment, education and offices that could include a corporate headquarters, according to a spokesperson for Rudolph|Libbe on behalf of Dashing Pacific.

“The Marina District project will incorporate elements of new urbanism and sustainable neighborhood design so that all services required for daily living would be located within walking distance of the site and surrounding neighborhood, said the spokesperson.”

The lack of visual progress at the site has been noted by mayoral opponents of Mike Bell, but Thomas F. Pounds their comments reveal more about their lack of business savvy than any failure on Dashing Pacific’s part.

Businesspeople with experience in real estate development know that large projects take time. They also know that business, like most of life, runs on relationships and the trust that involved parties will conduct themselves ethically and honorably.

The Dashing Pacific investors have been respectful and accommodating.

It is far too early to judge performance and results, but everyone involved knows the importance of these investments and knows progress will be closely watched.

As Toledo Free Press has stated before, at this point there are no losers in this transaction. Mayor Bell’s quest to breathe life into Toledo receives a major boost. Dean Monske and the Regional Growth Partnership (RGP) have a major deal to tout to other potential investors, at home and abroad, as the mayor’s recent trip to Germany illustrated. The venerable Northwest Ohio firm Rudolph|Libbe gains a major role in shaping the future of Downtown Toledo. All area residents stand to benefit from the jobs, investment and economic boost that could be the first step toward a new era.

“This project would change our riverfront into something it should have been some time ago,” Bell has said.

There will undoubtedly be mistakes and complications, as there are on any major development project, but it is our hope that former naysayers support the project and facilitate solutions as Dashing Pacific makes its mark. Toledo Free Press supports Dashing Pacific’s presence and Bell’s and the RGP’s efforts to attract global investment.

There is always a risk of disappointment, the risk that something will go wrong or fall short. That is the risk businesspeople take. We urge other local businesses who understand that risk to continue to welcome Dashing Pacific and to work with it as its investment benefits the community, rather than joining the small and politically motivated chorus of detractors and uninformed critics.

O

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com n MILLER CONTINUED FROM Guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland were as tight a rhythm section as any rock band of their time, but on this single (which echoes the chord progression of the band’s “Invisible Sun”), their playing transcends their individual efforts and gels with Sting’s bass to create a liquid, rolling setting for the cool, obsessive vocal.

For four minutes and 13 seconds, the record hypnotizes as it settles in the brain to take up permanent residence.

And it is an obsessive statement, not a love song.

“People tell me they use it as their wedding song, and I back away slowly,” Sting told Rolling Stone. “It’s not about healthy love. It’s about obsession, possession and desperation.”

The song exposed The Police to its widest possible audience. It charted on urban and black stations, and ignited sales of its parent album, “Synchronicity,” which remained at No. 1 for 17 weeks. During its 17-week reign, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” was No. 2.

The song’s stylish black-and-white video, directed by Godley & Creme, became an MTV staple and racked up a number of MTV Video Music Award Nominations, unfortunate timing in the era of “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.” “Every Breath You Take” won the Grammy for Song of the Year but lost Record of the Year to “Beat It.” During the “Synchronicity” sessions, the band intentionally retreated from the overdubs and ornamentation of its previous record, “Ghost in the Machine.” Copeland told Rolling Stone, “We had a synth line over the bridge that telegraphed an added urgency and became its own hook.

We decided to keep it simple and erased it, but it probably would have resulted in more weeks at No. 1.”

That discarded synth line was resurrected for Sting’s “Every Breath You Take” rewrite “If I Ever Lose My Faith in You,” but Sting wasn’t the first to copy his own song’s style. “Every Breath You Take” has many acknowledged imitators, including “The One I Love” by REM, “I Still Can’t Get Over Loving You” by frequent concept bor-

rower Ray Parker Jr., “Hysteria” by Def Leppard and the No. 1-for-11-weeks remake sampling by Puff Daddy, “I’ll Be Missing You.” Sting has revisited the song several times, lyrically on “Love is the Seventh Wave” and “If I Ever Lose My Faith in You,” and on recordings on acoustic and live versions.

He also recorded a version with Robert Downey Jr., for an “Ally McBeal” episode in 2001.

At the loftier end of the television spectrum, “The Sopranos” began its third season with FBI agents monitoring Tony Soprano’s every step. A seamless and inspired editing of “Every Breath You Take” and the Henry Mancini twang-fest “Theme from Peter Gunn” graced the soundtrack when the agents appeared. That mix, by Mr. Ruggerio, is featured on “The Sopranos” soundtrack “Peppers & Eggs.”

In ranking the song at No. 71 in his book, “The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made,” Marsh writes, “It’s a permanent fixture in the pop pantheon. The rolling bass line, Sting’s dry vocal, Andy Summers’ precisely plucked guitar part, and the remorseless clop of Stewart Copeland’s drums create an atmosphere in which the song’s metaphors assume a dimension just this side of terrifying. And the way the song pulls back, rejecting the heated rage that such betrayal seemingly deserves and instead serving revenge as it’s meant to be consumed, with a cold, cold heart, is the most frightening facet of all.”

The summer and fall were dominated by The Police, with follow-up singles “King of Pain,” “Synchronicity II” and “Wrapped Around Your Finger.” A B-side, “Murder

by Numbers,” provided a chorus I used to sing to psyche myself up for Libbey High School football games. That summer of 1983 has stayed with me, a benchmark for the summers of my youth — every step I take, every move I make. O Michael S.

MEDIA WATCH

MARTIN RICHARD tears coming down her face, her breath was gone and she was exhausted.

Kacee knew the math behind Team 8 — she knew we had 26 runners all running a mile — but Kacee was also well aware that a marathon is in fact 26.2 miles. Her mom was to run the full marathon the following day and had been training.

When she finally caught her breath, I asked if she knew she had run an extra lap. Kacee’s reply warmed my heart and stole my breath.

“I knew 26 miles was not enough for a marathon, so I ran another lap for that boy.”

For most of the day, I had been absorbed with tasks like checking in runners and getting them their Tshirts. Then she said that.

She wanted to make sure Team 8 ran the full 26.2 miles for Martin Richard, so she ran another lap.

I wanted Team 8 to reach outside our city’s limits. I wanted to show a little humanity during a moment that had none.

I had hoped it would affect a single child in Northwest Ohio, challenge him or her to think beyond our ZIP code and, in karma’s sweet way, it was my very own child.

Please join Team 8 in sending our love to the city of Boston and Martin’s family by donating to the Richard Family Fund, St. Mark’s Area Main Street, 1914 Dorchester Ave., Dorchester, MA 02124.

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY

PHILANTHROPY

Total Joint Replacement

By David Yonke

David.Yonke@ReligionNews.com

Every year more than 1 million hip and knee replacements are performed in the United States.

Although it’s becoming more common because of advancements in surgical technique and anesthesia, it’s still a major surgery that requires careful consideration.

Osteoarthritis, inflammatory diseases, trauma, and years of physical activity can cause irreversible damage to your joints. The associated stiffness, swelling and pain make it difficult to perform simple daily tasks such as walking and climbing stairs.

Non-surgical options like weight loss, steroid injections and anti-inflammatory drugs can slow the progression of wear on joints and decrease pain. However, when these methods don’t work, surgery may be necessary.

After surgery, most people feel 75% better within three weeks and can expect to have a significant decrease in pain along with increased joint motion. Your recovery will require hard work and motivation to see the best results.

Craig Assenmacher, MD, is accepting new patients at his practice, Assenmacher Orthopaedics. The practice has two convenient locations in west Toledo and Oregon.

To schedule an appointment, please call 419-690-8811.

Two Toledo-area women who founded different ministries that help people who are suffering recently teamed up for a trip to Boston.

They said they felt certain God wanted them to bring hope and encouragement after the terrorist bombings.

“I had a picGRIMES ture in my mind of going to the hospitals [after the Boston Marathon bombings] and it just kept coming to my mind,” Marianne Takacs said.

“And it was on TAKACS my heart, this burden to encourage people and to pray for them.”

Her Hope in the Midst Ministries grew out of her experiences helping her daughter, Mary Rose, cope with a long and difficult battle with Lyme disease. The mother and daughter wrote a book, “Hope in the Midst: 30 Devotions of Comfort and Inspiration,” which led to the start of their ministry.

“The motto of our ministry is ‘Bringing hope in the midst of life’s challenges.’ By sharing our stories, we help people to understand not only the struggles but the triumphs,” Takacs said.

She had heard about Janice Grimes

and Quilts of Compassion, whose motto is “Bringing hope and encouragement to the hurting.”

The nonprofit Christian group has made and distributed 44,000 quilts to hospitals, hospices, emergency areas and other organizations since Grimes founded it in 1999.

Takacs decided to give Grimes a call “out of the blue” and learned that Grimes had been planning to drive to Boston to distribute quilts. The arrangements were so last-minute that she had been expecting to travel alone.

Instead, the two women and their ministries joined forces, driving 13 hours in a minivan April 25 to deliver 190 quilts, boxes of devotional books, prayers and words of encouragement to Bostonians still reeling from the April 15 bombings.

“There is a passion in both of our hearts to bring God’s message of hope to the hurting through partnership of our ministries,” Grimes said. “God orchestrated every detail of our ‘mission to Boston.’”

While Grimes had called ahead to make arrangements as best she could with hospitals and health care officials, security around the bombing victims was extraordinarily tight.

The only non-health care or nongovernmental officials with access to the bombing victims were actors, athletes, rock stars and other celebrities, she said.

Such tight security was understandable, Grimes said. Still, while workers assured them the quilts were handed to victims, the women also wanted to minister to caregivers who were pouring their time, energy and emotions into helping the victims.

Once Grimes and Takacs arrived,

they found plenty of opportunities to put their good Samaritan skills to use.

“When we got to Boston it was sad; the whole city was affected,” Grimes said.

While the whole nation had been reaching out to the bomb victims, the hospital workers, doctors, chaplains and other caregivers were also dealing with stress, shock and the aftermath of the attacks that killed three and injured more than 260.

“We met one staff member who had been at the finish line waiting for a friend and she was having a terrible time dealing with what she saw,” Grimes said. “She wasn’t injured but it really impacted her and everyone at the hospital.”

Grimes and Takacs spent three days in Boston, staying with a hospital chaplain who opened her home to them.

“We gave many of the quilts to chaplains and health care workers and said they were for their departments to use. They couldn’t grasp it at first.

‘What, it’s not for the victims?’ ‘No,’ we told them. ‘It’s for you to use to minister to those who are hurting. It can be someone in the hospital, a friend, a co-worker.’ … Everything has been for the victims but everyone who works

there is a victim.”

Grimes and Takacs visited five hospitals and rehabilitation centers during their stay in Boston.

They said the people are living up to the motto “Boston Strong.”

“The people are incredibly resilient,” Takacs said. “As I watched people on the streets, in the hospitals, you can see concern and uneasiness in their faces. But you can also see that the people are pulling together, absolutely united. The hospital workers and the workers in the rehabilitation centers let the victims know they are there for them, they will do whatever it takes, and to me that’s ‘Boston Strong.’”

Grimes said she looks forward to Quilts of Compassion and Hope in the Midst teaming up again on future projects.

“I am so excited about the opportunities God has in store for our organizations to work side-by-side and handin-hand again in the future,” she said.

Tina Waynick is back in the race Really, she never left.

Waynick — who finished the Boston Marathon 10 minutes before two homemade bombs tore through the finish-line crowds, killing three — ran in Toledo’s Medical Mutual Glass City Marathon on April 28 as part of a team of people who also ran at Boston.

The five team members were Waynick, a Flower Hospital nurse living in Adrian, Mich., her friend Jill Stockford from nearby Tecumseh, running acquaintance Theresa Mariea, a runner from Ann Arbor and a runner from Toledo. They ran as a team, Waynick said, as a tribute to Boston.

It was not really about running fast or running well but rather about honoring the lives lost and changed, she said.

The team members wore their Boston Marathon jerseys.

They linked up through mutual friends and acquaintances and stepped off the starting line as a relay team — officially Team 3312, unofficially Boston Strong.

TRAINING EXERCISE

By Dave Willinger

TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER dwillinger@toledofreepress.com

This spring the Toledo Police Department (TPD) has 40 newly sworn officers working the streets alongside its veteran cops; literally alongside because TPD requires its new officers to complete five months of field training following graduation from the academy.

Those new officers and an upcoming fall class of 50 additional MATWIEJCZYK recruits are replacing cops lost to retirement and helping beef up a force that in recent years has fielded lower officer-to-citizen ratios than recommended by professional law enforcement associations.

February’s academy grads hit the streets of Toledo with nearly twice the state-required course hours of law enforcement curriculum under their belts, said Lt. Gerard Matwiejczyk, commander of the Toledo police academy. Matwiejczyk told Toledo Free Press the latest class logged an additional 400 hours of instruction over and above the nearly 600 hours required by the state.

At the Toledo police academy, he said, trainees learn about the elements of an arrest, including evidence processing and subject control. They are taught tactics, weapon control and the proper way to write up an incident report, the commander said.

While the supplementary hours of coursework often emphasize prevailing procedures and policies, Matwiejczyk said the city likes to “enhance all the important areas with hands-on training,” which includes practicing firearms skills at TPD’s Scott Park gun range and driving skills at a facility at Owens Community College.

Matwiejczyk believes in the benefits of the additional instruction.

“Since I took over [the police academy] in 2006 everybody has passed the state exam,” he said.

The Toledo police academy employs a cadre of instructors certified through the state in their areas of expertise. Toledo detectives introduce recruits to a wide range of skills from organizing a police lineup to the fundamentals of interrogation to processing a homicide scene.

Because police officers are often the first on the scene of a homicide, the state requires recruits to know how to protect the evidence, safeguard the scene and do a preliminary investigation, Matwiejczyk said. The new officers must “know the exact steps [to take] when they go to a major crime scene,” he said.

In addition, officers of the vice squad lecture at the academy on illegal gambling and prostitution. When it comes to local laws of arrest and the county court system, Jeff Lingo of the Lucas County prosecutor’s office and city attorney Dave Toska “log many hours to help us,” Matwiejczyk said.

Toledo is one of the last agencies in the state to operate its own police academy, said Robert Fiatal, executive director of the Ohio Police Officer Training Academy (OPOTA).

Even Akron and Cincinnati, Fiatal said, no longer run a training school for police recruits, which means those cities must rely on graduates from public academies, such as the academy operated by Owens Community College. Fiatal, who has headed OPOTA

for four years, blames the economy for making it difficult for a municipality to sustain an academy in the face of few new hires.

“Toledo is blessed to be able to hire more officers,” said Fiatal, who retired as head of the FBI’s office in Akron after 25 years with the bureau.

A wild ride

Probationary Toledo police officer Jordan Schotter demonstrated some of the skills learned in the academy on a recent midnight shift when the police radio crackled with a call of a “man with a machete.”

Schotter, 23, a graduate of St. John’s Jesuit, drove his police cruiser “code 3” from the Public SCHOTTER Safety Building to an address in the Old West End to back up the officers assigned to the call. Schotter’s field training officer (FTO) Greg Zattau rode shotgun and

a reporter bounced along in the uncushioned back seat of the cop car as it careened around corners and sped with lights and sirens through deserted intersections.

For Schotter, it was just his 12th night driving on duty. The young cop exhibited the confidence and control of a seasoned wheelman, while FTO Zattau, a 14-year veteran with a Google Earth grasp of the neighborhoods surrounding Downtown, gave his young partner succinct directions en route.

Arriving at the scene with the machete-wielder already in custody, Zattau stayed on the sidelines while his protégé assisted with “subject control.” Nobody was hurt, but officers could not immediately find the large knife, which they suspected had been ditched in the dark yard behind the residence. Still, police confirmed the report, viewing damage to a clock and other items inside a house. The man “was swinging the machete all over the place,” according to another FTO on the scene.

Zattau, the FTO program coordinator, said three years with TPD is re-

quired of an officer who wants to serve as a field training officer, a volunteer role that earns the FTO a monetary stipend.

During field training, probationary officers rotate through three FTOs, usually working different shifts and patrolling various parts of the city, before finally reuniting with their first field trainer, who is responsible for their final evaluation.

There is a checklist of 52 tasks that the FTOs ideally cover with their probies. Emergency driving and subject control are two examples. When a probationary officer has occasion to practice those tasks in the line of duty, the FTO will subsequently find a slow period during a shift to debrief the probie on his or her performance.

If an FTO determines that a probationary officer at the end of his or her field training needs additional training in any areas, that probie may at the discretion of the department be held over in the field training program until the necessary skills or experience have been acquired, Zattau said. n POLICE CONTINUES ON 10

In-service training

While the streets are a constant teacher for all officers on patrol, TPD provides between 16 and 40 hours of mandatory in-service training annually. That includes an annual firearms qualification.

This spring, Toledo police are also getting specific tactical training for dealing with a so-called “active shooter” scenario as the first officer on the scene.

Running the training are Toledo SWAT officers Sgt. Dan Raab and Sgt. Corey Russell, who attended a threeday instructor training course at OPOTA in Columbus in preparation for RAAB teaching the course. Russell and Raab also contributed input for the course.

While the state might have required such in-service training in the past, Fiatal said the costs to Columbus of mandating training are considered prohibitive in this economy.

Doing some quick math, Fiatal put the price tag at about $5.5 million for Ohio to administer an eight-hour course to the approximately 34,000 peace officers on the job statewide.

Due to the economic climate, no such supplemental training courses have been mandated for three years, Fiatal said.

Still, Fiatal, who reports to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, called “the protection of our children” a priority of his and one that is shared

by DeWine.

To that end, OPOTA, which teaches about 800 courses a year around the state at no charge to the agencies that sign up, has been holding its single-

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com officer responder course at locations around the state.

Because of the intense hands-on nature of the training, classes are limited to 20 officers, Fiatal said. Three such training sessions took place in the Toledo area in February.

OPOTA has also trained 35,000 teachers in Ohio on how to recognize someone within their schools who might exhibit indications fitting the profile of an active shooter.

The goal is for teachers to be able to refer such an individual to guidance counselors or school psychologists or even notify law enforcement if warranted in an effort to preempt another school shooting, for example.

The teacher training also provides tactics to increase the chance of saving the lives of teachers and students in an active shooter scenario. That training was given in Toledo in February at the Educational Service Center of Lake Erie West, said Jill Del Greco, public information officer for the state attorney general.

The OPOTA-developed active shooter course for police officers currently being taught by Raab and Russell to all Toledo police officers includes a classroom portion that covers the history of SWAT. Since Columbine in 1999, when two teenagers in a Colorado high school continued to kill even as police contained the scene, it is widely accepted that the best way to deal with such a situation is for law enforcement to engage the shooter as soon as possible, Russell said.

The goal is to “stop the killing,” Raab said. To that end officers are taught to “aggress the shooter,” in SWAT parlance, despite the personal risk. It is clear from observing such tactical training that seeking cover, for example, is not a luxury the responding officer will necessarily have

when dealing with an active shooter amid unarmed civilians.

During the tactical portion of the training in an unused school building in Toledo, officers fire real guns loaded with nonlethal training rounds made of soft plastic, bullets that still sting and can break the skin, said Officer Michelle Sterling, a 14-year veteran. And while an anatomical dummy may stand in for a stiff, the training is serious business.

So realistic is the mindset of the participating officers that they typically need a moment before debriefing in order to recover from the hyperventilating effects of the adrenaline dump brought on by the role-playing.

Raab or Russell conducts a performance review with each officer, including how to improve his or her tactics and technique as well as stressing those things he or she did correctly, for example, announcing their presence inside the building.

“We want the bad guy knowing we’re here,” Raab explained.

In the majority of cases, Russell said, the shooter will surrender or commit suicide when confronted by police. That confrontation is likely to be swift and lethal — the responding officer is not about to give a warning or pull out a Miranda card when an active shooter has already demonstrated the propensity for violence and potential victims are present.

“

Dishonesty is one thing we can’t tolerate.”

— Sgt. Joe Heffernan

Any type of felony disqualifies a person from serving. Misdemeanors such as domestic violence also automatically disqualify an individual, although a disorderly conduct arrest, for example, would not necessarily bar a candidate, Heffernan said.

But lying on your application will cause you to get booted of the list.

“Dishonesty is one thing we can’t tolerate,” Heffernan said.

May 5, 2013 The cops investigate all potential candidates.

“We talk to your neighbors,” Heffernan said, explaining one aspect of the effort that goes into the department’s background investigation.

The vetted candidates then undergo a second round of testing that includes psychological and medical tests as well as a physical agility test graded on a curve according to national standards for age and sex.

Candidates must be between the ages of 21 and 34 to qualify, and TPD has “one of the highest percentages of women” in uniform in the country, Heffernan said.

Law student dedicates 300-mile bike marathon to slain detective

By Brigitta Burks

Toledo Free Press News Editor bburks@toledofreepress.com

Mark Maruszak stays busy.

He graduates soon from the University of Toledo’s College of Law, interns at the Toledo City Prosecutor’s Office and serves as Element 112’s beverage director. Despite his schedule, Maruszak decided to participate in the upcoming Police Unity Tour, a 300-mile bike marathon.

MARUSZAK “Whenever an officer falls in the line of duty, the Police Unity Tour reaches out to family and offers financial or emotional support,” Maruszak said.

The Police Unity Tour, which started in 1997, also raises funds for updating the National Law Enforce-

ment Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C. Working with police officers in his job at the prosecutor’s office inspired Maruszak to do the marathon, he said.

“They do a pretty demanding job and it’s pretty thankless sometimes and it’s just a way for me to give back,” he said.

The ride starts in East Hanover, N.J., on May 9 and ends in Washington, D.C., on May 12. Most riders have been in law enforcement, but Maruszak said he petitioned the tour to allow him to join.

“They said, ‘Absolutely,’ so I was kind of lucky to get in,” Maruszak said.

For the past five years, Maruszak has ridden his bike to raise money in support of a multiple sclerosis charity.

Most marathons are about 150 miles so the Police Unity Tour is intense, said Maruszak, who is currently training.

“It’s basically just a lot of biking when I’m not at work — 30, 40 miles a day,” he said, adding that he’s in-

creasing to 50 or 60 miles per day the week before the marathon.

Each rider has to raise $1,750 through pledges so Maruszak has hosted fundraising events and is accepting donations at http://bit.ly/ maruszak. He has raised $1,130 as of May 1.

Maruszak said he is dedicating his ride to fallen Toledo Police Detective Keith Dressel. On Feb. 21, 2007, Dressel was shot while trying to stop a drug deal.

Keith’s mother Larraine Dressel said she appreciates Maruszak dedicating his ride to her son. The Dressel family was also present at the tour’s April 3 fundraiser at The Blarney where Keith’s wife Danielle was a guest bartender.

“It means a lot, especially after this many years, that someone would do that,” Larraine said of Maruszak honoring Keith. “For him to do this in his memory, wow.”

Hens office manager celebrating 30 years on job

By Jay Hathaway

TOLEDO FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER news@toledofreepress.com

The ultimate career goal for many is being able to do something you love, get paid for it and keep that job for many years. Carol Hamilton is the epitome of that reality.

Hamilton is the office manager for the Toledo Mud Hens and the Toledo Walleye. For 30 years, she has been a vital part of the Mud Hens organization. Her career in Toledo baseball began when the team was still grinding out games at Ned Skeldon Stadium in Maumee.

“I was just basically hired as someone to assist filling out the Mud Hens season ticket envelopes,” Hamilton said. “Then I just stuck around and started doing more and more and more.”

Over the years she has handled the team’s payroll, performed a lot of secretarial work and answered many, many phone calls.

Hamilton, a polite and quiet yet

amiable woman of small frame with a welcoming smile, was raised in Toledo as a Mud Hens fan. She recalled the Ned Skeldon years with fondness.

“It was a ballpark that needed a BandAid, but it was homey, and it served its purpose for a long time,” she said.

When the team moved to its current home at Fifth Third Field in 2002, many Toledo baseball fans rejoiced at the idea of a Mud Hens makeover.

Hamilton was thoughtfully cautious in her initial response.

“I was skeptical, because [at first] I didn’t really care for the Downtown setting, but once we arrived down here, it was an incredible fit,” she said.

Hamilton said the most noticeable difference between the Skeldon years and the present is the number of people now on the office staff and working in the ballpark.

“When I started, it was just a handful of people, and now we have 58,” she said.

Hamilton described her daily responsibilities as a hodgepodge of get-

ting done whatever needs done.

“I’m one of the first people in here to get the machines ready for the day’s work. I answer the phone, I do all of the ordering of office supplies,” she said.

Though the players seldom visit the offices, which are usually pretty lowkey and don’t see much “craziness,” Hamilton said, she does recall an occasion when excitement levels rose and phone calls got a bit out of hand.

“When [professional golfer] Phil Mickelson tried out for the Mud Hens — that was probably the craziest time.

People were calling as they got wind of it, and asked, ‘Is Phil Mickelson really trying out for the team?’”

Aside from the Mickelson incident, Hamilton said her career has been fairly tame. However, in 2009, she had a front-row seat for a major shift within the organization as well as in Toledo sports.

In 2007, Toledo Arena Sports, a subsidiary of the Mud Hens ballclub, purchased the rights to run

hockey in Toledo, which was then the Toledo Storm. Two years later, with a new Downtown arena and a new mascot, the everyday operations of the Toledo Walleye fell in the laps of Hamilton and her Mud Hens coworkers.

“Before, we’d be taking a deep breath after baseball season and rest up, and [then] start focusing on the next season,” she said. “With the Walleye, it made it more of a yearround event. We had downtime with just baseball. Now when baseball ends, hockey is getting ready to start, so it’s just a complete circle.”

Hamilton’s work space at Fifth Third Field recently received a makeover. The reception area was reconstructed to resemble a hockey arena, complete with

circles and blue lines on the floor. Hamilton’s desk sits behind what hockey fans would identify as “boards and glass,” just like the protective walls that enclose the ice. Hamilton jokingly referred to it as “the penalty box.”

As coworkers passed by, it was obvious they held her in high esteem — and that she is probably the last person one would expect to find in a penalty box. That fondness is reciprocated by Hamilton. She cites the people she works with as the aspect of her job she loves most.

“They keep me young. It’s a wonderful bunch, and it’s enjoyable to come to work and be with them,” Hamilton said. “Everybody is supportive of each other. It’s a great place.” O

Anthony Wayne High School senior Courtney Koester began competing in all-star cheerleading after she saw how much fun her little sister, Kelsey, was having at Ohio Cheer Academy (OCA) in Waterville.

Although it was a bit of a role-reversal for a big sister to follow the little sister, she said it was one of her best decisions.

“I used to be a swimmer and I didn’t even start cheering until my sophomore year. I gave up swimming for cheering,” she said. “What I really liked about cheerleading was that there was always a new level you could

reach. There was always a new skill you could check off the list.”

Cheerleading is just as much a sport as swimming, she said, and offers something that being in the pool doesn’t. Allstars is cheering, tumbling and stunting.

“This is way more about a team,” Koester said. “Everything you do impacts someone else. If you make a little mistake, you are affecting every other girl on the team. If you do something good, you are helping every girl on the team.”

Koester is graduating in a few weeks and then leaving for the University of Cincinnati. Sadly, her days at the Waterville gym are ending.

But she wants to make sure that other area girls and boys consider trying

out for the OCA championship teams.

Tryouts are 5-8 p.m. May 10 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 11 at OCA, 1160 Disher Ave. in Waterville. Anyone ages 8-18, of any skill level, can try out; no previous experience at OCA is required.

“We are pretty laid-back,” said Jamie Pfefferle, owner of OCA. “Come in and show us your skills. We will find the place for you. Here we can find a team that fits your skills because there are five levels in all-star cheerleading. In high school, you sometimes just get cut. Here we have always been able to make it work.”

Pfefferle, dean of students at Monclova Primary School, opened OCA in 2008. The former college cheerleader has coached high school and junior high cheerleading for 18 years. She got out of it for one year when she started a family.

But she missed it.

“I still wanted to keep impacting young girls. I think girls are tough and you don’t always get to bring that out in them,” she said. “I think this instills a lot of good qualities. You are obligated to a team. You have to be on time. You have to keep pushing yourself to new levels. There are so many good things you can learn for life.”

In addition to the all-star teams, some girls come in for lessons with tumbling and cheerleading coach Jody Kolbe.

“We have customers who just do that; and we have customers who are on the team and they also tumble once per week, but we also see them for team practice time,” Pfefferle said.

OCA has grown at a steady pace for the past few years, which allowed Pfefferle and Kolbe to get to know each girl. Eight different school districts feed into OCA, including Anthony Wayne, Wauseon, Whitmer, Liberty Center and Otsego. The teams included 26 girls total this past season. Approximate cost to participate on a team is $2,200$2,600 a year, which includes lessons, uniforms, shoes and competition costs.

“We would like to see more because this is a good group of girls,” Pfefferle said.

Kolbe runs the gym. She got involved at the request of Pfefferle, who used to be her high school cheerleading coach.

“I love watching girls set goals and actually accomplish them,” she said.

Kolbe said that when Julianne Oser started at OCA she couldn’t do a standing back handspring but now she is working on fulls. Oser hopes to take these skills to The Ohio State University.

“It has been a dream since I was little.

State, so ever since she was a cheerleader there, it has been a goal for me,” said Oser, a junior at Anthony Wayne.

She takes exception to those who don’t take cheerleading seriously.

“Let them try a two-and-a-half minute routine. If you compete, it should be a sport. It takes athleticism to do the flips and to hold other people in the air,” she said.

Kolbe said even the tiniest tumblers are welcome at OCA. “We can teach you the foundation, even if you don’t know how to do a somersault.”

Wendy Gramza is thankful her 12-year-old daughter, Emily, got involved in OCA. “We tried some other things that she was good at, but she wasn’t passionate about it,” Gramza said.

“We came here and she seemed to like it. She always wanted to come to practice.”

Her daughter used to be a little shy, but has grown mentally and physically tough. What is nice about OCA

is the older girls mentor the younger girls, and there is no drama, she said.

Koester, who is class valedictorian, has even tutored Emily in math.

“We aren’t ‘Dance Moms,’” Gramza said, laughing.

Pfefferle said all-star cheerleading is a lot of glitz and glam, but she prefers to keep the girls covered up when they compete.

“Kids will act like they are in a sport if it is treated like a sport,” Pfefferle said. “These girls are always doing something. Their skills are staying up, but then they get new ones. My husband always says, ‘There is no substitute for competing.’”

Pfefferle makes safety a priority.

She encourages proper technique and a natural progression. No one is pushed to do something beyond their skill level.

“I would like to see more kids in here. I think we have a good thing.

It is a family atmosphere. We keep it wholesome. They are kind to each other. They are just good girls.” O

pOP CULTURE

BGSU professor Donahue presents at India conference

By Jay Hathaway

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

PHOTO COURTESY MATT DONAHUE

A Bowling Green State University professor recently returned from a trip to India, where he gave presentations about American pop culture, heavy metal — and the Kardashians.

Matthew Donahue, professor of popular culture at BGSU, flew to Hyderabad, India, in March to speak at a conference at the University of Hyderabad, “Teaching and Researching American Literary and Cultural Studies.”

The invitation came after Donahue met Pramod Nayar from Hyderabad’s English department and the two connected over discussions of American popular culture.

“The India trip was the thrill of a lifetime,” Donahue said.

Donahue was immediately fascinated by how receptive the students and professors were to learning more about American life.

“It was an awesome experience,” he said. “It was very reaffirming to know that there is such an interest in American culture and popular culture. A lot of them had a strong background in American literature as well.”

The first day of the conference focused on American popular culture

in general, and the role that it plays in Americans’ daily lives.

“I wanted to express to them that America should not be judged on what that they see on television shows like the Kardashians or ‘Jersey Shore,’” Donahue said. “For me, being a socially and politically conscious artist, it is very frustrating seeing the Kardashians as cultural representatives.”

Donahue added that fictional shows like “The Simpsons” are probably more representative of America than reality shows like “Jersey Shore.” “‘The Simpsons’ are actually very popular in India, so they were very receptive to that idea,” he said.

For the second day, Donahue presented some techniques he uses when teaching about American popular culture, such as something he calls “Project M.I.R.S.H.” — analyzing myths, icons, rituals, stereotypes and heroes.

Donahue also talked about his own research on folklore and oral history, as well as his own creative works in art, music and video.

He then tied this in to his research on heavy metal T-shirts. Donahue has studied the heavy metal T-shirt as a pop culture phenomenon and has presented his research in Calgary, Alberta and BGSU’s heavy metal conference last month.

“They were very interested in that because heavy metal music is also very popular in India,” Donahue said.

By Sarah Ottney

TOLEDO FREE PRESS MANAGING EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

In less than an hour during one recent morning at Scott High School, Maureen Knowles — or Nurse Knowles as she’s called — checked a softball player’s injured wrist, treated a student with seasonal allergies, arranged for a student’s parent to sign him out of school to see a doctor and sent several students back to class to obtain the required passes from their teachers.

“Can you wiggle all your fingers?”

Knowles asked the softball player. “Ice is your friend.”

“Stay inside as much as possible — which I know you don’t like to do —­­but until those leaves are popped out, you really need to,” she told the boy with allergies.

“Go get a pass and I’d be happy to do that,” Knowles told a student who wanted his leg wrapped and another who was complaining of a headache.

“I’m very kind, but I’m also very firm,” Knowles said. “I think kids really respect that. I see it as I’m respectful of them and they are also respectful of me.”

A native of Steele, N.D., Knowles worked at Toledo Hospital as a registered nurse for 23 years before coming to Toledo Public Schools. She worked at Nathan Hale Elementary School for six years and McKinley Elementary School for four years and this is her third year at Scott.

Knowles was recently named Ohio School Nurse of the Year by the Ohio Association of School Nurses at the group’s annual conference.

“It’s fabulous,” Knowles said. “I was absolutely speechless. It was very nice.”

Scott High School Principal Treva Jeffries said the honor was well-deserved.

“We are very proud of Nurse Knowles and her accomplishments,” Jeffries said. “She does a lot here to uphold that honor on a daily basis.”

Being a school nurse is a lot like having an independent practice, Knowles said.

“You are the medical expert; there aren’t colleagues here to share decision-making,” Knowles said. “I enjoy that. It carries a lot of responsibility, but many rewards.”

Interacting with people is her favorite part of the job.

“I don’t just see students,” Knowles said. “Staff here will come to me with questions. I have several staff members who have their blood pressure

checked regularly.”

Knowles notices which students are “frequent fliers” — as she refers to regular visitors — and will start asking more questions.

“I wouldn’t say their visits are unnecessary,” Knowles said. “They’re coming for a reason. It might be they really do have a stomachache or it might be there’s something going on at home that’s upsetting or they might really not like that class and aren’t doing well or they have a big test that day or their boyfriend just broke up with them.”

When Knowles suspects a nonmedical issue, she might talk to a parent (always with the student’s permission), send them to visit the school’s guidance counselors or art therapist or refer them to a community agency or physician.

Besides daily visits, Knowles also performs the state’s required vision and hearing screenings for ninth-graders and special education students. She also mentors student nurses from Lourdes University and the University of Toledo who come to Scott for clinicals.

She is also part of a team working to create legislation that would require Ohio schools to keep EpiPens on hand for first-time allergic reactions. Twelve states currently require it, said Knowles, who will speak May 20 at a conference hosted by the Toledo Allergy Society.

“It might save their life,” Knowles said.

Knowles holds a bachelor’s in nursing and a master’s in education with a school nurse certification.

She is also a nationally certified

Maumee Bay Brewing Co. released Amarillo Brillo and Total Eclipse Breakfast Stout in bottles in April.

Maumee Bay Brewing Company bottles up two favorite brews

By Dave Kubacki

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

On April 12, Maumee Bay Brewing Co. (MBBC) increased its bottle offerings with the release of Amarillo Brillo and Total Eclipse Breakfast Stout.

While many industries are struggling to stay afloat, the craft beer industry is booming. According to the Brewers Association, craft brew sales were up 17 percent in 2012, producing more than 13 million barrels of beer. Moreover, the craft beer industry accounts for 10.2 percent of total beer sales.

The release of Amarillo Brillo and Total Eclipse adds to the brewery’s current lineup consisting of Buckeye Beer (MBBC’s flagship pilsner), Maumee Bay India Pale Ale and Blitzen, which is a seasonal brewery release.

MBBC brewer Jon Koester said it was an easy decision which beers to bottle next.

“There has been such a huge demand for Total Eclipse Breakfast Stout and Amarillo Brillo,” Koester said. “Whenever we have either of them on draft, they are two of our biggest sellers. It was just the obvious next step to bottle them.”

Amarillo Brillo is the brewery’s first

double India Pale Ale (IPA), which is a style usually characterized by higher alcohol by volume and a more complex hop profile. With an alcohol by volume of 8.4 percent and an International Bittering Unit (IBU) of 101, Amarillo Brillo has a much more complex flavor profile than your typical IPA. The second release, Total Eclipse Breakfast Stout, is the brewery’s imperial breakfast stout. According to the brewery, it is brewed with copious amounts of oats and lactose and is infused with espresso from the local roaster, Flying Rhino. Weighing in at 9.1 percent alcohol by volume, MBBC may be right to call it “breakfast in a glass.”

MBBC Manager Shannon Mohr said the releases are in stride with trends in the craft beer scene.

“Our choice to release Amarillo Brillo and Total Eclipse has a lot to with the trends in the craft beer market,” Mohr said. “Right now, coffee stouts are on the rise, as well as beers with a more complex hop profile.”

While MBBC has a footprint across Ohio, it is focusing its new releases in the greater Toledo area.

“We had been constantly getting emails through our website asking us when Amarillo Brillo and Total Eclipse would be available in bottles,”

Mohr said. “We want to take care of the Toledo area first because that is where we are from and that is where our biggest support has been. We are licensed in the rest of the state so eventually we’ll get out to other areas, but for now, we are going to concentrate on the local market.”

Koester said moving from a draftonly release to bottling can be a challenge. He said, however, they have been happy with the brewery’s IPA and are confident these new releases will live up to the hype as well.

“Our beers seem to be translating well from draft to bottle,” Koester said.

“That is not always the case. As long as these go as well as our IPA did, which I’m sure they will, I think they will be really well-received.”

While the MBBC faithful will no doubt be excited to see brewery’s newest releases on shelves, they aren’t the only ones excited.

“I can’t even tell you how excited the brewers are,” Mohr said.

“Even the mundane things like building the boxes to put the beer in.

Building boxes isn’t fun work at all, but they were just so excited about it.”

Amarillo Brillo and Total Eclipse are available in four-packs of 12-ounce bottles for about $11.99. O

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

In 2006, Toledo native Tim Welly graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University after studying economics and management. Roughly seven years later, Welly spends his day creating spirits, not analyzing numbers or staring at a computer screen.

What began as a passion became a career at Hillrock Estates Distillery in New York’s Hudson Valley. Welly is now head of operations and a distiller at Hillrock Estates. The new distillery is garnering rave reviews from experts including Whisky Advocate and Wine Enthusiast magazines.

Welly’s interests in wine and spirits blossomed in Toledo while working at La Scola Italian Grill and Monnettes Market. He moved to New York in early 2007 and capitalized on available opportunities at Millbrook Winery. After establishing himself at Millbrook, he served as a tour guide and intern, overseeing the “crush” and the production with the winemaker.

After about a year and a half, Welly moved to Colorado and worked with a French and German wine distributor before deciding to return to Millbrook Winery as cellar master and assistant winemaker. Welly said it was about this time when he decided to undertake some formal training.

“I began taking classes in New York City at the Wine and Spirit Education Trust, which gave me an objective and systematic approach to tasting wine and spirits,” Welly said. “I took the intermediate classes and then got an advanced certificate and spirits certificate. I am now in the diploma program which is kind of like a master’s in booze.”

After two years as cellar master at Millbrook, Welly was in the process of helping open Number 9, a restaurant in Millerton, N.Y., when he met Jeff Baker. Baker was an executive managing director/partner of a New York City real estate investmentbanking firm. With Baker, Welly found a colleague with a background in business and a passion for spirits.

Welly said Baker invited him to Hillrock Estates to see its proposed operation. He was surprised when his visit was more like an interview.

“He had me stop by the distillery and it turned out to be more of a roundtable discussion,” Welly said.

“There were about seven people at the table including Baker, [Baker’s] wife and Dave Pickerell (former master distiller at Maker’s Mark) and they started firing questions at me. I was kind of blown away. I thought I was just coming over to see what they were doing. When Baker approached me a couple of weeks later and offered me a position at Hillrock, I was shocked.”

Though he had put in nearly two and a half years at Millbrook Winery and had begun to fully understand the winemaking process, Welly decided to accept Baker’s offer to join the Hillrock Estate family. From there, Welly began to learn the distilling craft from Pickerell, who is one of the nation’s most renowned distillers.

“I began training with Pickerell at George Washington’s distillery in Mount Vernon,” Welly said. “It is a historically rebuilt distillery that sits in the same foundation as it did before. We wore traditional garb, did everything by bucket and open flames, making rye whiskey and apple brandy.”

After returning to Hillrock Estates, Welly oversaw the distillery installation and began doing research and learning the mash production, with a focus on site-specific whiskey. Welly said this was a novel idea that Baker believed would separate them from other distillers in the country.

“The site-specific concept revolves around the idea of where things grow, how things grow and when they grow, has a lot to do with the flavors that are extracted,” Welly said. “For instance, you can’t call something Champagne unless it comes from the Champagne region. Baker felt the same principles could be applied to the spirits world and no other distillery in the United States was going for that market.”

Hillrock Estates is one of the only distilleries operating on a “field-toglass” model, meaning everything that goes into their spirits is produced in-

ternally. For example, workers harvest all the grains right off the fields surrounding the distillery. Another personal touch Hillrock Estates has added is the historic method of floor malting.

While most distilleries utilize a pneumatic malting device, Hillrock Estates uses a method dating back to Egyptian times, according to Welly.

“We physically malt our own grain on the floor, which is the way they do it in Scotland,” Welly said. “There is a room where we steep grain for three days and lay it on the floor. By floor malting, it gives our whiskey a unique characteristic. There is a human element associated with it, unlike pneumatic malting.”

Hillrock Estates’ first and only product currently on the market is its

Solera-Aged Bourbon Whiskey. Welly said the solera-aged process is unique to Hillrock Estates. The process involves creating a stacked pyramid of barrels where a small portion of whiskey is removed periodically and new whiskey is added. No barrel is ever fully emptied and age and complexity gradually increase over time. Welly said this process adds very unique characteristics to their bourbon.

“This process allows for a blending of younger and older whiskeys and a cascading of inventories that creates a much more complex product over time,” Welly said. “We draw out of a 100-barrel solera and then finish it in sherry barrels from Spain. Our age statement is actually the term solera

because there is such a blending of so many different ages.”

The distillery sold out of its first 2,000 bottles very quickly and is already onto its third barrel. Welly said there are a lot of reasons for the distillery’s success.

“We are the only distillery growing and producing everything for production,” Welly said. “We are one of the only distilleries that are floor malting.

We are also the only malt house that has been built since pre-Prohibition.”

Hillrock Estates will expand its offerings this coming year with a rye whiskey and a single malt whiskey. The distiller’s solera-aged bourbon will continue to be offered, mostly found in the northeastern United States and through online retailers. O

org, his education startup, to serve as a pilot in UT’s Ambassador Internship program. UT was asked to join because of its progressive stance on student entrepreneurship development, McIntyre said.

Mary Jo Waldock, senior executive director of the Office of Research and Innovation at UT, said CrowdSchools.org is “relevant for entrepreneurially-minded students who will benefit greatly by learning the ropes before entering the market.”

McIntyre, who came to UT with 20 years of entrepreneurial and business consulting experience, is considered a leader in the rapidly growing crowd-funding industry.

Crowd-funding involves garnering small amounts of capital from a large number of investors to finance a business venture.

Crowd-funding has the potential to increase entrepreneurship by expanding the pool of investors from whom funds can be raised beyond the traditional circle of owners, relatives and venture capitalists. It uses the easy accessibility of vast networks of family, friends and colleagues through social media websites to get the word out about new business ventures and attract investors.

Ideas for tech products and service startups were solicited and submissions were reviewed April 26. Event organizers said they are accepting submissions on an ongoing basis at www.pitchandpour.com.

Organizers said the Pitch & Pour event is the first of a series planned at UT. To register for the May 10 event, visit www.uHeartDigitalMedia.com.

Organizers expect to draw from 100-150 tech-related entrepreneurs and startup businesspeople from Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.

The event will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 10 in the Ingman Room of UT’s Student Union. Registration is $20 for students and $50 for nonstudents. O

Timing Social Security benefits

n our Jan. 24 column on “The big Social Security mistake,” we pointed out that 729 possible combinations exist for when to draw Social Security benefits.

The difference between the best and the worst possible elections can mean the difference between tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars of income during Mark a typical retiree’s lifetime. Figuring out the Nolan best approach for you comes down to running the numbers for your unique situation using a Social Security calculator. Since that time, tons of our readers have used the calculator we posted on www.RetirementGuysRadio.com. In this column, we want to share with our readers some of our recent findings.

Drawing Social Security benefits as soon as possible or right away at retirement can be a huge mistake for many

families. The main reason is the fact that for many retirees who start benefits before full retirement age, often age 66-67, a lifetime reduction for taking benefits early applies. According to www.ssa.gov, the benefits could be reduced by as much as 32.5 percent by drawing them early.

The government website also points CLAIR out that Social Security benefits BAKER count for 39 percent of the income for a retiree. Drawing early, especially for a high-income family, can be a double whammy for a spouse’s options because it could reduce the lifetime amount a spouse could receive as well. Remember to know all the options and review the sources of income available before electing benefits.

Consider waiting a while after retirement to start taking Social Security

benefits. After an individual has reached maximum retirement age about an 8 percent per year increase is given to those who wait, up till age 70. Although no one knows God’s plan, considering family genetics and an individual’s own health can help us make a smart decision on when to start benefits. Many people we have talked with know that Social Security is broke and assume they should just get what they can now.

Tough decisions need to be made by the government on how to make Social Security solvent in the long term. Yet we believe for many retirees close to or in retirement, this benefit will remain for a long time. Don’t just rush into getting money in your hand now.

Many retirees that work for a government agency could be blindsided by a provision called The Windfall Elimination Provision. This could also affect a spouse in what is known as The Government Pension offset. In 2013, benefits can be reduced by as much as $395.50 a month due to these rules. The key is not only knowing the rules, but figuring out a family’s sub-

stantial earning years. For readers who do work for the government or have a spouse who is eligible for a government pension, take extra time to know how the rules apply and determine your best approach on drawing benefits.

The good news is Social Security has been here helping American families since 1935. Generations of Americans have already benefited from this system. Thanks to the hard work of you and others, we have taken care of generations of Americans. It is because of you and me that we have been able to help secure the American dream for so many people and provide a safety net for those who have no other income sources. The contributions of all of us has made a difference.

For those close to or moving into retirement, the good news is you still

KRISTIN Hersh IS SET TO play a solo show 8 p.m. May 14 at the Ark in Ann Arbor.

Singer-songwriter Kristin Hersh driven to create

By Vicki L. Kroll

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer vkroll@toledofreepress.com

Kristin Hersh had a lot to talk about from the office of her New Orleans home, where she was watching over duck eggs.

“My youngest [son] found the duck eggs in an abandoned nest at the park. My biggest fear is that they won’t hatch, and my even greater fear is that they will,” she said and laughed during a phone interview.

The singer-songwriter-guitarist who burst onto the scene with alternative rockers Throwing Muses in the early ’80s is incubating a few projects of her own.

“Purgatory Beach,” a book paired with a CD by Throwing Muses, is

due this fall.

“It’s our first release in 10 years, so it’s getting a lot of attention. I mean, not from normal people, from us,” she joked. “The production approach had to be all about human feel, which means flawed. We had to play it wrong in order for it to be perfect à la the Velvet Underground.

“It took three or four years in the studio, and then the book, I’m still writing to our poor publisher and saying, ‘I really think these ellipses should be more of a breath,’” Hersh said and laughed. “This is a record we can die after making, so we’re looking forward to death.”

The woman known for her edgy, riff-driven music with intense, haunting lyrics is also working on a

disc with 50 Foot Wave, her powerrock trio.

And there’s a solo record, “Spark Meet Gasoline.” Hersh has been sharing new tracks through Works in Progress at kristinhersh.com.

“My cellist in London is working on parts right now,” she said. “I sort of like that sleepy sweetness that I’m allowed now that the music business is no more.

I’m listener-funded and there’s no such thing as a release date per se.

“I’m finally allowed to feel the way I always felt about music: Grab it if you feel like it, and if you don’t, you miss out.”

Hersh will play a solo show 8 p.m.

May 14 at The Ark in Ann Arbor.

Tickets are $15; doors open at 7:30 p.m.

“I’m reading from my book (‘Rat Girl: A Memoir’) and playing what-

ever I feel like,” she said. “The readings have been nice. The music will inform the text and vice versa.”

Released in 2010, “Rat Girl” chronicles Hersh’s life in 1985 and 1986 when she scored a record deal, attempted suicide, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and gave birth to a son at age 19.

“Publishing your diary is a very embarrassing thing to do, particularly your teenage diary, but in reading it, it didn’t feel like it was about me anymore, so it felt safer to try and help someone who is going through either a bipolar episode or teenage pregnancy or the war of art,” she said.

Hersh and music may be a “match made in purgatory,” to borrow a line from her song “White Suckers.”

“I’m not sure if I would have been better off without [music], but I’m not sure I’m better off with it either,” she said.

“Anyone who has ever loved me has recommended that I stop playing music, and I agree with them, but I haven’t really been able to because the music itself doesn’t stop.

“But I’ve gotten to a point now where I think its visceral nature is not dangerous necessarily.

“That’s a better way for me to live alongside music, because I no longer fear it’s going to take my children’s mother away,” Hersh said.

“I don’t know why suicide and music are so intimately connected, but every song tells me I should go away, and I have to live with that extreme life or death dichotomy.” O

Mud Hens activities celebrate ‘Star Wars’ May 4-5 TOLEDO FREE PRESS POP CULTURE EDITOR PopGoesJeff@gmail.com

toledo free press photo by james a. molnar

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ...

OK, maybe not that long ago — just last May. And certainly not that far away — just across the street at Fifth Third Field, a stone’s throw from the Toledo Free Press offices.

But on a balmy spring night, a Toledo Mud Hens home game became a grand celebration of all things “Star Wars,” as the first “May the Fourth Be With You” promotion took place.

“It was first brought up by one of our ticket consultants, Kyle Moll,” said Michael Keedy, manager of special events for the Hens.

“He came to KEEDY me and mentioned that we had a home game on May 4, and was aware of a kind of unofficial ‘Star Wars’ holiday called ‘May the Fourth Be With You.’ And he said, ‘That’d be a lot of fun to do a “May the Fourth Be With

You” promotion.’

“It’s not a unique idea — other teams have had ‘Star Wars’ nights.

In fact, we’ve had ‘Star Wars’ nights in the past. But what we did differently was we branded that game as ‘May the Fourth Be With You.’ We had everything from special food offerings to costume contests. We had character appearances.

“If you came to the game on ‘May the Fourth Be With You,’ you really felt — from the time you came to the game to when you left — that it was a ‘Star Wars’-themed atmosphere the entire night.”

So wildly popular was the event, in fact, that the promotions department jumped at the opportunity to revisit and expand on the concept this year.

“We had home games this season on May 4, which is a Saturday, and May 5, which is a Sunday,” Keedy said. “We wanted to really expand it to the entire weekend because we had so much fun with it last year. So that’s how we came up with ‘May the Fourth Be With You’ and ‘Revenge of the Fifth.’”

This year’s edition will include tons of unique touches to make both nights a fun destination for fans of baseball and fans of the films.

Everything from face-painting to a special “Star Wars”-themed fireworks show, a costume parade and a

kazoo-along with John Williams’ famous theme has been planned. Even the players’ headshots, displayed on the big video board, will be modified to look like iconic “Star Wars” char-

Mud Hens offer fans chance to sing on benefit CD for Red Cross From Staff Reports

Mud Hens fans at the May 9 home game have an opportunity to be part of recorded baseball history. During the seventh-inning stretch, the crowd-sung version of “Take Me Out To the Ballgame” will be recorded for an upcoming charity CD. The song will be recorded for “Red White & You,” a CD which benefits the American Red Cross of North-

west Ohio. The CD includes more than 20 songs, by such local artists as Crystal Bowersox, Pat Dailey, Kyle White, Alyson Stoner, Carmen Miller and Chrys Peterson.

Retailing for $10, the CD will be available in June at Northwest Ohio Big Boy and Ralphie’s restaurants and KeyBank locations.

‘Team effort’

As anticipated as the “Star Wars” nights are, they’re just one of the many promotions that fan have to look forward to during the 2013 season. From the traditional fireworks shows and autograph sessions to nights that celebrate the history of baseball in Toledo and the birthday of iconic Mud Hens mascot Muddy, the team’s special events staff always aims to appeal to the broadest possible audience.

“We do promotions that are very much involved in the community,” Keedy said. “If there’s a big event going on, we want to be a part of that — that’s one big factor. And then the obvious one is that we always want to be unique.

We want to provide opportunities for people to come out and be entertained throughout the entire event.

“And we want to try and stay fresh.

We have a lot of things that we try and do on an annual basis that are a lot of fun, and are very popular. But every year, we’re analyzing the schedule and things going on, what’s going on in popular culture. How can we keep the promotions fresh and new and exciting? Those are all factors.”

When it comes to developing and executing new concepts for promotional events, Keedy said it is always a collaborative process.

“Many times, they’re developed just through discussions through our very creative team,” he said.

“We talk about what’s popular at the time, we talk about if a game falls on a particular holiday, or a date when something is especially cele-

brated, we talk about things that have become popular during the baseball season during the previous year that we really want to grow and expand on in the following year.

“I would say it’s a team effort, and a lot of ideas come from all departments, and all the individuals that

work with us.

You know, it’s really a group effort to come up with any unique ideas and any unique things for the future.”

Burger Bar 419 to open on Monroe Street Famed burger spot to take over Star Bar location

Change is in the air — and we don’t mean the weather. You love Star Bar and you love Burger Bar 419. Why not put your love for both all in one place?

Star Bar & Grille and Burger Bar 419 have combined their unique take on food with the enticing atmosphere of a restaurant bar to bring you one of the best food joints in Toledo. Burger Bar 419’s second Toledo location will be appropriately titled Burger Bar 419 Monroe St. Due to the success of Burger Bar 419, opening another one in the same area seemed like the perfect choice.

“The concept of Burger Bar 419 was rst developed based on America’s love affair with comfort food and a love for Toledo,” says Moussa Salloukh, founder of the Burger Bar 419 concept.
