How do you know what truly belongs to you?

We’re not trying to get too deep and philosophical here, and we’re not talking in a metaphysical sense. More in a prac-tical sense, like what makes something your property to the point that you can do with it whatever you want?

Is ownership something you are born into? Or is dominion a commodity to be purchased?

In city politics, it seems, ownership is none of the above. Instead it’s about enti-tlement. It’s mine, I deserve it, I’ll do what I want with it, and if y’all don’t like it, find a good place to stick it.

Take a seatSome folks treat elected office like an

entitlement. Take councilman Rob Lude-man, for example. There are term limits on Toledo City Council. The maximum time anyone is entitled to be a council-man is three consecutive terms or twelve years.

Not true for our boy Rob. He has been on council for almost all of the past two de-cades. First he slithered through a loop hole in the city charter. Then he took two years off between being a District Two rep and being elected at large. If things go well for Robby he’ll have at least six more years in this stint and will likely retire with a fat guvmint pension.

Such delusions of entitlement to public positions mean there are fewer opportuni-ties for a younger generation to take over. In the most recent election for at large seats former Mayor, councilman, state rep and school board member Jack Ford came out of retirement to fill a seat, lifer Ludeman kept his, and septuagenarian and retired city employee Theresa Ga-briel took a third. Rumor has it that long time former council member and state rep Peter Ujvagi is considering a run this year for the district three seat soon to be vacated by mike craig.

Is there no one under sixty who is pre-pared for leadership? Can the formers and the lifers get the blankety blank outta the way and leave some room for new blood? Or does the older generation just feel too entitled to open the door a crack?

Of course this glass ceiling for young-er folks isn’t just a problem in the city. County seats are filled with folks with de-lusions of entitlement to keep their seats for life. County recorder Phil Copeland shows no signs of stepping aside as he moves through his seventieth decade on the planet. County commissioners Pete Gerken and Tina Wozniak are also com-fortably ensconced in their seats. No sign of any of the above mentoring young re-placements. And the word on the street is that former Mayor Mike Bell is eyeing a

run at Gerken’s seat. Another former feel-ing entitled to suckle at the public teat.

A much darker form of entitlement has reared its ugly head with the recent sudden passing of Mike Collins and Jack Ford. Weirdos have bubbled up through the slime claiming entitlement to carry on Collins’ and Ford’s purported legacies. We have already written about Collins’ widow Sandy Drabik believing she is entitled to fulfill Collins’ term as mayor. Now peren-nial creepazoid and green party candidate Sean Nestor has surfaced with strange tales that Jack Ford would have wanted Nestor to fill his seat on council. Nestor claims Ford told him that he would en-dorse Nestor for the seat if elected to the state senate last year. Odd, since Ford never endorsed Nestor just the previous year when both were running for at large seats on council.

Sean, we are all for a new generation of leadership. Preferably one who doesn’t think they are entitled to lead because of the alleged musings of the dead.

What’s yours is mineThe worst story of entitlement in city

politics involves recent council appointee Scott Ramsey. He runs a boat construc-tion and repair business in Uptown. Dur-ing the course of business he is certified by the State of Ohio to collect sales taxes on behalf of the State. These taxes are the largest source of State government in-come. They are for the public good. They belong to the State from the minute they are collected, through the time they are placed in an escrow account until they are duly sent on to the State coffers.

Seems Ramsey doesn’t see it that way. He feels entitled to use the state sales taxes for his own private needs. The State has filed liens against his business for this practice. For his part, Ramsey shows no remorse. Defrauding the state tax payer is just part of doing business.

Ludeman apparently agrees, hav-ing said he doesn’t have a problem with Ramsey exploiting state dollars for his own private use. Not surprising, though. Ludeman understands such feelings of entitlement at a deep level.

Voters should feel some sense of en-titlement, too. You are entitled to vote for new leadership. One with a sense of ser-vice. Starting at the special election May 5th.

REICHENTHAL

T The fact is, Marty Reichenthal isn’t “famous,” per se. He has photographed very famous people, mostly all for promotional purposes. He’s not an Irving Penn, or an Annie Leibowitz – photogra-phers known for getting mixed up in the celebrity world. He’s Marty. He preferred not to hob-knob with famous people; remaining neutral and unbi-ased was the most important ingredient for him when it came to getting the perfect shot.

Reichenthal was born in Rock Island, IL, and his relationship with Toledo began around age two or three. “I was unceremoniously dropped here against my will to spend summers with relatives,” he said. It was during one of those summers that his uncle, a local dentist, gave him a camera. Mar-ty was nine years old, and became fascinated with the device’s focus mechanism and shutter speeds. “Unfortunately, everyone in my family wanted me to be a dentist,” he chuckled. However, Marty was hooked. There would be no dentistry in his future.

He went on to attend the State University of Iowa (SUI), and transferred to Ohio University, where he earned a Journalism degree. His inten-tion was to earn a master’s degree in photogra-phy so he could teach. As it turned out, Marty’s experience outweighed the department head’s, so the school would not admit him to the graduate program. “If I had any brains, I would have gone into TV,” he remarked. “But back then, we never thought it would be a viable news point.”

In 1959, Marty journeyed to Chicago, for what he recalls was an appointment about a job. Along the way, he stopped in Toledo to see his colleague friend, Herral Long, who ran the photography de-partment at The Blade, where he was hired as a freelancer. He soon accepted a job working in the Public Relations department at Ohio Bell in Cleve-land as a promotional photographer.

After two years, Marty was called to be a photog-rapher at the 1964 World’s Fair for AT&T. He lived in New York City for a year and a half after that, and got the itch to travel abroad. “I escaped to Europe,” he said. What was the impetus beyond curiosity for his travels? “If you didn’t do a war, you weren’t a journalist,” he remarked. “I was going for six months and I didn’t come back for almost 21 years.”

like George Burns,” Marty said. “I said to George, ‘Let’s go over toward the window and maybe put your jacket on.’ The PR guy put the jacket on and all of a sudden, he became the George Burns we know.” As Marty photographed him, Burns cracked one of his jokes: “Hey Sonny, you know how to tell when you’re getting older? Your arthritic parts start feeling better than the rest of your parts.”

Other memorable moments included photo-graphing Tony Bennett in his studio wearing ath-letic socks with his suit and tennis shoes, observing the Ching-A-Ling Nomads gang in the subways of New York City, and of course, Ira Levin, author of Rosemary’s Baby.

Marty stopped taking pictures of celebrities shortly after he photographed Diana Ross for a bi-ography promo. He was tired. “You have to shoot new pictures all the time and you need ideas. I found when I came back here that I wasn’t going to do pub-licity, because nobody gave a damn,” he explained. “Shooting promotional pictures for local institutions didn’t hold the same importance as it did in New York. People didn’t care as much,” he said. “Every one of us out there, we’re only as good as our last picture when you’re freelance, and we were all free-lance. It keeps you on your toes. It makes you work.” Real pictures

Predictably, the veteran photographer hates the Photoshop culture. He remarked, “Nothing is

Ralph Maccio

IMarty’s advice to his subject—

“Why don’t you just sit, relax.

I’ll do the work.”

The right shotIn 1979, he decided to spend more time in the

U.S., living in New York. Jerry Mosey, a college friend from SUI and an editor at the Associated Press (AP), offered Marty a job photographing ce-lebrities.

Marty recounted the story of photographing fa-mous author and playwright Tennessee Williams to promote a new biography penned by John Lahr. “We woke him up at noon one day in his apartment; me and the AP guy, Jay Sharbert, who did the Broad-way column at the time. They were fighting over getting his coffee pot going. While they were busy distracting him, I was trying to hide Tennessee’s glasses.” he said, still amused with himself. “You see, I had this dream of getting Tennessee without his dark glasses. In those days, whenever anybody pointed a camera at him, you’d never see his eyes. That bothered me.” Marty located the glasses and quickly began to pile objects on top of them, so Williams couldn’t find them. “He spent about a half hour looking for the glasses, and gave up,” he added, smiling. Marty was thankful to capture this rare side of Tennessee Williams, who shadowed his gentle eyes when he was out in public.

When it came to helping subjects feel comfort-able, he employed a number of tactics to get people to open up. “Usually, I got angry with them.” he said. “I had a reputation. Someone would tell me, ‘Don’t give them a hard time, or they’ll walk out!’ But I did,” he laughed. “I’d shoot a lot of film to get it started. Sessions were seldom longer than 20 minutes. I’d listen through to the interview, if I could. I’d laugh at things they said or make them pay attention to me somehow.”

Though many were cooperative, stars some-times challenged him. Mickey Rooney was me-ticulous about appearing taller. Ralph Macchio’s PR rep pulled in a favor at the Associated Press to attempt to boost his career. “[Macchio] was 23 years old and he wasn’t exactly making it. He was still the karate kid,” Reichenthal recalled. “We were shooting in a church being used as a the-ater off Broadway’s main drag. The PR rep asked, ‘Who are you?’ I told her and she said, ‘Mr. Mac-chio wants to be photographed over here.’ And I’m kind of mean and nasty, a real curmudgeon, and I reply, ‘Mr. Reichenthal doesn’t want to shoot Mr. Macchio there,’” he said, laughing. He forced the star on stage during a rehearsal. “I told him, ‘Why don’t you just sit, relax. I’ll do the work.’” Upholding standards

On holding steadfast and not settling for work less than his best, Marty said, “I preferred saying no when I meant no. I had a reputation; my line was, “You don’t want to do it? I’m packing my bags.” Then they’d call and get all huffy and puffy. Jerry Mosey [Editor at AP] would say, ‘Yeah, I know, I hired him.’” Reichenthal walked away from more than one shoot—not because it was worthless, but because the right shot was what mattered most.

Then there were the times that magic hap-pened on set. Marty is proud of his Mikhail Bary-shnikov shot. “What happens is, sometimes things are going nowhere until you ask someone to do something that seems normal,” Marty recanted. “[Baryshnikov] was prancing around and someone asked him to jump. I don’t even know if I was the one who asked him to do it, but he did and it was wonderful.” Contemporary cameras all have motor drives, but Marty’s medium format camera didn’t, so he was able to catch Baryshnikov at that precise moment.

Another auspicious moment occurred when he photographed George Burns. The celebrity was sit-ting in an easy chair in his hotel room. He had such tiny, narrow shoulders and donned a white shirt and a tie. He held his ever-present cigar between his fingers. Something was off. “It just didn’t look

shooting today. The really skilled photographers in magazines don’t rely on it as much, although there is so much of it. It’s really more of an additive tech-nique. Look at National Geographic. They still do real pictures.”

Counting Irving Penn, Gordon Parks, Richard Avedon, and W. Eugene Smith as influences, Re-ichenthal still shoots photographs of friends and of his surroundings, most of which he keeps to him-self. He still vastly prefers black and white, though he likes the control of adding color.

There is a naturalness to his celebrity photo-graphs and an irresistible, sometimes haunting de-parture from American suburbia in his travel pho-tographs. Reichenthal’s work helps to maintain the image, not deconstruct it. Sometimes that image is a star of stage and screen, permanently frozen in our minds in an iconic way. Other times, it’s a loca-tion that seems so far away yet accessible at the same time. It is hard not to look at his photographs and think, “I want to meet this person. I want to see this place.” Photography was the vehicle he used to sell us these dreams. And sell us he did.

Did you know?While “food trends” might make you think of Instagram and chia seeds, financial analysts approach “whats trending” a

little differently. Considering that new figures suggest that restaurant sales have topped grocery store spending in

America for the first time ever, the national restaurant industry is having it’s year. How’s Ohio doing?

n10% of Ohio employees work in a restaurant. (restaurant.org)

n 22,000 food service establishments call Ohio home. (restaurant.org)

n Toledo has 1418 restaurants (restaurantbusinessonline.com)

n T-town was ranked the 106th best place to open a restaurant in 2011, by the Nielsen Restaurant Growth Index. n 2011 saw $1 billion of restaurant sales in Toledo. (Nielsen, RGI)


Where do you look for inspiration? My inspiration comes from the seasons, walking through farmer’s markets, the latest challenging ingredients, and cookbooks from the world’s best chefs and restaurants. Origin, the Food of Ben Shewry, of Attica restaurant in Australia, and Benu of Benu San Francisco are my current favorites. I love to learn what other chefs are doing so that my menus are continually evolving. Once you think you know everything, there’s always something new and unique to try.

What's one easy tip or trick to fix a common cooking mistake? Taste your food and check the seasoning often. Trust your tastebuds and make adjustments—it's what good cooking is all about.

Where do you look for inspiration? Whether they are instructors or area chefs, I like to watch other chefs work; how they handle themselves when a situation gets difficult. Since I don't have a lot of experience yet, it is a great way to learn what to do when things when things don't go as planned. The instructors at Owens Community College are awesome, and I have had a chance to work with several area chefs. These experiences have been a great stepping stones to begin my culinary career.

What's one easy tip or trick to fix a common cooking mistake? When baking something in the oven, turn your pans often during the cooking time to ensure even cooking. Most ovens do not heat evenly. This technique helps make sure you don't have some spots that are well done and spots that are undone.

No one can take a doughnut seriously. And that’s not a bad thing, either—at least not according to Chris Ritter, the 419’s newest doughnut purveyor at Holey Toledough. A self-proclaimed foodie and former line cook, Ritter decided now is the time to pursue his own culinary dreams.

Ritter hasn’t been making doughnuts for long; he came up with the idea last August, when he and his girlfriend realized that Toledo lacked a gourmet doughnut shop—a business concept which has recently become a staple in many large U.S. cities. After gathering inspiration from similar shops on the West Coast, he got hands-on pastry experience at Haas Bakery in Oregon, OH. He diligently practiced making doughnuts at home since September, testing shelf life and perfecting his recipes. The popular pastry has a standard four-to-six hour lifespan on the shelf, without preservatives.

Working 5-9When he was ready to sell his

products, Ritter anticipated the awkward solicitation process typical for any new business, but was pleasantly surprised: “I put up a Facebook page instead of me going around door-to-door…it [was] more like trying to keep up with the emails of people saying, ‘hey, can we sell your doughnuts?’’ He added happily, “I haven’t had to go around looking like an idiot.”

The workday starts at 11:30pm for Ritter, as he’s responsible for making nearly 30 dozen doughnuts a night for his three café outlets. Each doughnut requires a three-part process from start to finish, and he refuses to cut any corners.

He uses fresh apples for his apple fritters (versus canned pie filling), which happen to be his favorite. Ritter is adamant about having constantly changing varieties; a good mix of classic and trendy. “I like the idea of having a rotating, seasonal fresh menu,” he said.

Staples include the Maple Bacon, Holey Toledough’s most popular—and described by Ritter as “freaking great”—, fritters and glazed doughnuts. Ritter has non-traditional flavors down: The Whiskey Apple Cider doughnut with candied ginger (yes, he candies the ginger himself) is inspired by his favorite cocktail.

Bigger and better thingsHoley Toledough’s progress is

impressive given how long the business has been operating. In just a month of selling doughnuts, Ritter has already confirmed the company’s presence at the downtown Farmer’s Market this spring. He plans to put together a Kickstarter video for a business loan to eventually fund a storefront bakery. In the meantime, he’s trying to find a vacant space downtown with a pre-existing kitchen to accommodate the growing business – after all, those doughnuts won’t glaze themselves.

Urine good company A tale of inauthenticity on

the BGSU stageby Emily Remaklus

Bowling Green State University will conclude its 2014-2015 theater season with the satirical musical Urinetown. A musical like no other, this show’s catchy numbers, witty dialogue, and storyline will leave audiences laughing.

Like many musicals opening in the 21st century, the show focuses on the underlying inauthenticity of our society. According to Jonathan Chambers, the director of BGSU’s Urinetown, “the authors of the work clearly know musical theater history, and have sought to create a piece that is both a nose-thumbing and loving tribute to that tradition.” Throughout the production, older, more serious musicals such as Les Miserables, The Cradle Will Rock, and West Side Story are harmlessly mocked through choreography, staging, and similar song styles.

‘Pay to pee’The show opens with the idea that

a long-lasting drought has caused a water shortage. To save water, the

megacorporation Urine Good Company [UGC] has taken control of all toilets, and the new harsh laws require people to pay to pee. Those who do not pay are exiled to Urinetown. After witnessing his father’s arrest for urinating on the street, Bobby Strong (played by Brett Mutter) decides people need to pee for free to live a happy life. When he meets Hope Cladwell (played by Micala Behrens)—unbeknownst that she is the daughter of UGCs CEO Caldwell Cladwell—they decide a rebellion needs to take place, and naturally, they fall in love. However, when the rebellion is on the verge of being destroyed, Bobby discovers that kidnapping Hope is the leverage he needs against UGC. While the Company tries to rescue Hope, the rebels hold strong and discover the truth behind Urinetown.

There are many thought-provoking moments hidden in the humor, too. According to Chambers, “the play

has smart things to say about the imprint of capitalism on our lives, the abuse of power…and the plight of the disadvantaged,” but as he added, “at the end of the day, it’s about people having to pay to pee…I hope [the audience] are smiling as they see it.”

This production will feature the talents of BGSU students and faculty, with many actors taking on multiple roles. Musical direction is by the accomplished pianist Kevin Bylsma and the beautiful choreography is directed by Greg Grimes. As stated by Chambers, one of the greatest rewards of directing this show is “working with a great committed community of artists.”

Breaking the cycleConfronting stigma with art

by Athena Cocoves

“This epidemic is wrapped up in the guise of compassion,” said Kyle Schalow, founder of Rx Epidemic Memorial Foundation, reflecting upon the increasing rates of prescription drug addiction. “The pills are prescribed to ease pain and suffering . . . but they often just create more. It’s a Trojan horse.”

Reaching across all demographics, mental health issues find their way into every social pool. The suffering caused often rests below the surface like sediment - anchoring the afflicted in a stationary position. Without the support of family and friends, those suffering can only sink or tread water.

So what makes healing so difficult? If you ask Schalow what makes the public’s approach to mental health so different than with physical health, he would say that social stigma is one of the largest factors.

From pain to artWith both a personal and family

history of substance abuse issues, Schalow knows firsthand the toll that stigma has on recovery.

Rather than ask for help, a person with poor mental health often learns to camouflage their issues—a reassuring, “no, I’m ok” can be quite convincing without a visible wound. While this defense prevents uncomfortable confrontation, it also fuels the alienation and loneliness that individuals with mental health problems are all too familiar with.

To raise awareness and spark a conversation, Schalow has spent the last year curating the international, mixed-media art installation titled STIGMA. Featuring the works of artists

touched by the effects of mental health problems, STIGMA explores the impact of the growing, national problem.

“We are trying to make a statement and create literacy about the issue,” Schalow said. “The artistic interpretations are varied. We want to challenge the stigma, often formed by fear and ignorance, and invite people to think about the problem.”

While some of the works in STIGMA are from an international pool of artists, many local artists, such as Greg Justus, Matt Wolcott, Rebecca Rae Tansel, and Mary J. Erard, will display work in the show, slated to travel nationwide this year.

Opening nightSTIGMA opens on Tuesday, April 28,

with a reception coinciding with the Rx Epidemic Memorial Film Festival (see film note, p. 32). The exhibition opens at 6pm, following a private reception for the artists and their families.

Works will be for sale during the evening, with donations to both the exhibition and the Rx Epidemic Memorial Foundation also accepted. Selected works from STIGMA will on display through the end of May, but some works will only be available for viewing on the opening night, such as a quilt made by members of Code 9, a national organization supporting police officers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

An exhibition catalog will also be available, with proceeds going to the Rx Epidemic Memorial Foundation.

Memorial Foundation project. Using art to communicate a social message, the Memorial is a traveling installation of prescription bottles filled with the memories of people who have died from prescription drug addiction and overdoses.

The Schalow family started this project in October of 2012. The first installation started with 2500 prescription bottles, and has since been extended to 14,000 bottles. The Memorial Foundation has partnered with localized anti-drug coalitions nationwide, and they have encouraged

other groups to make an installation of their own.

“We’ve been called around the country,” Schalow said. “it’s just a matter of getting there now.”

Merchants (NAMM) trade show so she could see her guitars on display. Two black-and-white Madison Roy guitars are destined for a buyer in Japan while the remaining eight are on display at the Fender Headquarters in Scottsdale, Ari-zona. The guitars will eventually be sent to Fender Custom Shop dealers and dis-tributors around the world where hungry buyers can purchase the one-of-a-kind playable canvases, for a price.

Playing on and back in Toledo

In the meantime, Madison has al-ready been contacted by the Custom Shop regarding future commission work. She is still amazed by the opportunity, “Having my art represented by Fender, one of the top names in the music indus-try, is still a little unreal to me.”

Working with Javier not only cata-pulted her art career forward, it put her back on track to earning her degree. “Javier is the one who convinced me to go back to school… He’s the main reason I’m at UT again.”

Now a senior, studying visual art at the University of Toledo, Madison is set to graduate in May. She summed up the experience by telling us, “I owe more to Javier than just being thankful for this line of guitars. I’m grateful for everything Fender has done for me.”

Her work is on display in Toledo at the Davis Building, the UT Ritter Plan-etarium and at Artomatic with Art with a Heart Gallery.

See all of the guitars at toledocitypaper.com

Intuition’s compass guided local art-ist Madison Roy from the existential throes of art school to Hawaii’s carefree beaches. And the jump from painting on the beach to adorning Fender’s coveted Custom Shop guitars blossomed from the happy coincidences intuition seems to manifest.

“It was pure serendipity the way it all happened.” Madison said. “I was going to UT for Visual Arts and I wasn’t feeling supported and I didn’t feel like it was making me a stronger artist.”

The choice to leave school allowed Madison to focus on her art and ended up being a great career move. “In the pur-suit of happiness.” Madison began creat-ing art in Hawaii and posting the pictures to Instagram, where she amassed an on-line following.

She found sharing her art through In-stagram self-affirming and the frequency of her art posts increased. “I believed in what I was doing and that’s what was making me happy so I started posting more and more pictures of my work on Instagram and I was getting a lot more feedback and interest from people than I ever imagined.”

The flair guitarThe choice to move to Hawaii payed

off when one social media admirer showed her father photos of Madison’s hand-painted ukeleles. This particular admirer, a seven-year-old, happened to be the daughter of Fender Custom Shop director Javier Reynoso.

The Fender Custom Shop, located in Corona, CA, produces special-order and limited-edition guitars for the interna-tional musical instrument manufacturer.

Javier found himself inspired by the work, and emailed Madison about giving her a line of Fender Custom Shop gui-tars. She would be sent ten guitar bodies: 5 Telecasters and 5 Stratocasters, the company’s signature electric models. Encouraged to pursue her style, she was given full creative control of the pieces. Using acrylic paint, she transformed the blanks into colorful canvases with intri-cate mandalas, a staple of her art. Madi-son’s devout attention-to-detail required her to spend up to 70 hours on a single guitar.

The finished bodies were then sent back to the Custom Shop to be lacquered, assembled and strung by Fender Cus-tom Shop Master Builder Greg Fessler. Fender flew Madison to California for the renowned National Association of Music

remembering a renaissance manFriday, 4.24 / roCketsOn February 6, Ron Schwanbeck, passed away at the age of 81. Ron was well known in the community through his involvement in the Toledo Urban League, Toledo Demo-cratic Party, and as the original Talking Christmas Tree at the Children’s Wonderland, held at the Toledo Rec Center. Towards the end of his life, Schwanbeck’s passionate and exciting karaoke performances at Rockets (2023 N. Reyn-olds Rd., 419-531-3192) brought him recognition weekend after weekend. To celebrate his life and to raise funds for his funeral bill, join local karaokiers at Rockets at 7pm, on Friday, April 24. — AC

Manistique cheese aged in fresh cab-bage leaves for two weeks. It had an enchanting, grassy funk. I also tried the strawberry cheesecake gelato that tasted as fresh as a summer picnic. If you don’t like any of the flavors they offer, you can meet with a gelato con-sultant in order to design your own. “We’re not just an industrial park, but a place for people to meet up [and] learn,” Ives-Wilson said.

The BakehouseZingerman’s Bakehouse, the first ten-

ant in Southside, began in 1992 as a way to provide better bread for the deli. It is now a Willy Wonka wonderland, with 130 em-ployees working in intoxicatingly sweet-smelling rooms creating pastries, candy bars, cakes and breads with two 50,000-lb. brick ovens. They still use the same sour-dough starter from 1992, the original batch of yeast, in order to make more than half of their breads every day. A single loaf can rest up to 18 hours in order to let the natural flavors come alive. “We allow the wheat to express itself,” said Frank Car-ollo, the Bakehouse’s founding partner.

The Bakehouse has an 800-square-foot retail shop that efficiently sells $2 mil-

PLAY BOOK

OfftheKneadedPathZingerman’s Southside

byDorianSlaybod

Less than 45 minutes from Toledo, just off the highway, are a series of nonde-script, gray and orange buildings in Ann Arbor’s mostly ignored “Airport Business Park.” A small sign with a cartoon hand points towards a scene that looks more akin to an episode of The Wire than a Sat-urday afternoon retreat. But in one row of buildings sits the primary production venue for the beloved Zingerman’s family of businesses.

Zingerman’s Coffee Company, Zinger-man’s Creamery, and Zingerman’s Bake-house are pristine facilities that make some of the finest foods in the country. Each has its own retail shop where you can see the coffee beans being roasted, grab a loaf of bread still warm from the oven, and sample a slice of cheese, where the milk was pasteurized and made into curds. Each entrance is just a few yards from the next. Zingerman’s calls this row “Southside”—it is located five miles south of the Deli—and despite its bleak façade and lesser known location, it is a food des-tination more than worth the search.

The Coffee CompanyZingerman’s Coffee Company is a

sleek space with 30-foot-tall metal ceil-

ings. Tables for seating sit below high-res-olution photos of coffee farms around the world. Behind the baristas is a massive window peering into the room where 3,000 pounds of coffee are roasted every week. Above the barista counter is a giant board with a graph listing 15 coffee varieties and 7 methods of brewing—105 different ways to order a cup of coffee.

I ordered a “Mokha Java” with a Siphon filter, where an exact 25 grams of ground coffee were heated with 297 grams of water by a butane torch in an hourglass-like apparatus. The coffee came out clean and fresh, with a buttery almond nuttiness. “We sell things someone might never, ever have,” said Anya Pomykala, the Coffee Company’s retail manager.

The CreameryNext to the Coffee Company is the

Creamery, where they make fresh cheese and gelato. I strapped on a hairnet and went into the production facility. John Loomis, the Creamery’s founding partner, was hand-milling raw milk cheese curds that tasted salty and satisfyingly rubbery. A woman packed fresh pints of gelato.

The Creamery’s retail manager, Tes-sie Ives-Wilson, gave me a sample of a

lion of baked goods per year. The shop is small, but warm, with clean wood shelves and a team of employees who are ready to cut you a sample of anything they baked that day. They list a daily baking schedule so you can buy a loaf moments removed from the oven.

I tried a Hungarian cinnamon-swirl bread called Somodi Kalacs that was soft and semi-sweet, and I tried the sourdough, which had a quick crunch to its crust, and a meaty, chewy inside. I imagined spread-ing some handmade pimento cheese on it, bought from next door, and rushed home with the strongest urge I have ever had to make a sandwich.

Dorian Slaybod is an attorney happily living in Toledo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Entertain at home the 25th or 26th. The week of the 27th may be boring, so you decide to do something special for the Kentucky Derby on the 2nd. You could win the prize. Watch the full moon the 3rd and celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may plant your flowers after the 23rd because you look forward to seeing the fruits of your labor. You are happy at home and let someone else make the plans. Venture out on Cinco de Mayo because you love the food!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may take a short trip on the 25th and 26th. Mercury comes home to your sign the 30th so you make plans for May. Your calendar is filled out by the 1st. Hopefully it is in pencil so you can make corrections later on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Do as much as possible by the 25th. Then start fresh, full of confidence, the 27th. Progress rapidly and successfully. Your luck is good on the 2nd and you win the prize (if you bet). The week of the 4th begins on a very happy note.

LEO (July 23-August 22) Enjoy a week-end getaway the 25th and 26th. Balance your checkbook the 28th so you can live like the king or queen you are. Start May at the Kentucky Derby in Louisville and come home to have more fun at the Cinco de Mayo party.

VIRGO (August 23-September 22) Enjoy a party the 25th and sleep in on the 26th. Get organized now for summer weddings and graduation parties, holidays and festivals. Be careful driving the 3rd when the moon is full. Maybe stop for one margarita the 5th.

LIBRA (September 23-October 22) You are ready to start some home improvements now and plan to finish by the 3rd. Remember to have at least one oriental item there to bring you good luck. Venture out for a Cinco de Mayo party and discuss holiday plans.

SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) A weekend away the 25th and 26th is what your astrologer orders. By the 30th you have plans for May’s vacations. Place your bet and be a winner at the Derby party. Spend the money on the 3rd. Then you are on a tight schedule.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 20) You blaze a trail to include designing gardens and fundraising for charities. May will be hectic but wonderful. Attend the Derby or host a party and be a winner. Rest by the light of the full moon the 3rd.

CAPRICORN (December 21-January 19) Host a party the 25th or 26th to show off your home improvements. You need one antique and one clock in every room. Work on your social schedule. You get many invitations to weddings, graduations, and festivals.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) Look for a bonus the 23rd or 24th. Explore a new place on the 25th and 26th. Some excitement is coming your way on the 2nd. The week of the 4th get organized at home because you are already thinking about vacations.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Keep thinking “new car.” A short trip is fun the 25th and 26th. Return to your routine well rested the 27th. If you bet on the Derby you are a winner. Your psychic ability takes you to success, if you follow it.

STYLE SENSEInterview by Jordan Killam

Max & Cayden GreenblattMax, 5, is in preschool (on left); Cayden, 8, attends elementary school (on right).

Cayden and Max are brothers. While Cayden favors theater, music, and learning new magic tricks, Max prefers sports like hockey, and practices karate. Cayden’s got acting chops. He appeared in “A Christmas Carol” at the Toledo Repertoire Theater and recently played the piano in Deacon Clayborn’s home in ABC’s Nashville. Max’s approach to fashion is a bit more eccentric. His mother reports that he would wear shorts and gloves all winter long if she let him.

Do you pick your outfits by yourself?Cayden: Sometimes.Max: Every day!

What type of clothes do you like to wear most?C: Hmm...Like a t-shirt and shorts. Sometimes dressing up with a belt.M: Shorts and short sleeves, underpants and Mama’s reading glasses.

Does getting dressed up bother you? C: No, because I like to look nice on special occasions.M: Kind of, but I like comfy clothes better.

What advice would you give to kids who are afraid of dressing differently because they’re worried others will tease them?C: That’s a hard question. Put your own personality into your clothing.M: Don’t be afraid. Wear what you want to.
