Brian Felster (1963-2011): A friend to the artsBy John DorseyToledo Free Press sTar sTaFF [email protected]

ow will you be remembered? For any artist, for any person really, there is the question of legacy. It is a question that has been on my mind a lot during the past few days with the sudden passing of Collingwood Arts Center Interim Executive Director Brian K. Felster.

Brian collapsed Oct. 29 while preparing for a Collingwood Arts Center (CAC) event and was taken to Saint V’s, where he was pronounced dead at around 6 p.m. He was 48 years old.

As I sat there in the hospital surrounded by Brian’s friends and family one of my first thoughts was, how would people remember him? Then I answered my own question — they would remember him as a friend to the arts.

I knew Brian before he ever worked at the CAC; we first met at a party where he was surrounded by younger artists, offering humor and encouragement to the next generation. A little while later, in the summer of 2005, Brian left the corporate job he had been working for nearly 20 years to work with artists full time as the CAC program director.

It was in that position that he helped put together countless concerts, art exhibits and community events. It was a position he kept out of love for all arts — at about one-quarter of his former paycheck and at great cost to his own artistic ambitions. In addition to his life as an arts administrator, Brian was a skilled photographer and graphic designer. He set much of that aside while volunteering the bulk of his free time to the CAC.

So great was his love for the arts, that in August 2010, he stepped up to serve as interim executive director. Almost immediately he helped to broaden the scope of what could be accomplished, leading to a number of great events such as the CAC Raceway Park fundraiser, multiple ap-pearances by Grammy Award-winning pianist George Winston, a pair of original plays by high school student Opal S.L. Dunlap, the Zygote in My Fez poetry festival, Thosefellas Teen Summit and a recent show by famed comedian Heywood Banks.

He also worked tirelessly to get the CAC involved with the larger com-munity, promoting the S.T.A.R. Project, a student outreach program

created by former executive director Audrey Johnson, which brought local artists into classrooms in many under-served communities.

The future looked bright. In the weeks before his death, Brian brought the CAC together with The One Story Project, a nonprofit student outreach group focused on education through filmmaking.

Less than an hour before his death, we were joking and talking about upcoming events as if it were any other Saturday, and it was — just another day for Brian doing what he loved.

Since his death, my phone hasn’t stopped ringing, but what gets me most is the outpouring of love for this man who touched everyone he met with a chuckle, a smile and a generosity of spirit that won’t soon be forgotten.

I will always remember how he encouraged me and Michael Grover to help keep the CAC open mic going, not because it made money, which it certainly didn’t, but because it was something he felt the community couldn’t afford to lose. Most of all I will remember my friend, always up for a late-night conver-sation, an off-color joke and for finding and nurturing the next generation of artistic talent.

Originally from Fair Haven, Mich., Brian was born March 4, 1963. He studied at Macomb Community College and Owens Community College. He is survived by the world, as well as his family and friends. Our hearts are a better place because he was in them.

As the arts scene in Toledo mourns his passing, I’ll just say one thing: “Velvet” Felster, you will be missed. O

What started as a dream among four friends in Escatawpa, Miss., became 3 Doors Down, which has sold more than 16 million albums worldwide and will play in Toledo on Nov. 5.

“It’s been a lot of fun,” bassist Todd Harrell told Toledo Free Press Star. “You get to watch ev-erybody succeed in what they love to do. It’s just been cool for us. We all were friends 10 years be-fore we ever were in a band together, so we know what buttons not to push on each other to make each other mad. When somebody needs their space, we give it to ’em.

“It was a learning experience. We’ve had a lot of fun and been a lot of miles together,” he said.

Comprised of Harrell, Chris Henderson (guitar), Brad Arnold (vocals), Matt Roberts (guitar) and Greg Upchurch (drums), 3 Doors Down will perform at the Huntington Center with Pop Evil in support of its fifth full-length album, “Time of My Life.”

Prior to 3 Doors Down’s formation in 1995, high schoolers Harrell and Henderson played in a band while younger friends Ar-nold and Roberts used to come out to their shows. When that band broke up, all four started jamming together and have shared the same stage ever since.

“It seems like just yesterday we were in Esca-tawpa writing our first record,” Harrell said. “It is a little surreal. We’ve managed to stay in the game awhile. We just give it all up to our fans that keep us out there.”

Chart-toppersAfter years of building support, 3 Doors

Down stormed the mainstream airwaves in 2000 with smash hit and No. 1 single “Kryptonite” off its debut record “The Better Life.” Featuring an-other No. 1 single in “Loser,” the album has been certified six times platinum.

“It was kind of like deer in the headlights for the first year or so,” Harrell said. “We got thrown out to the wolves it seemed like, but it’s all been a learning experience.”

3 Doors Down followed up “The Better Life” with 2002’s “Away From The Sun,” which sold more than 4 million albums and featured two more No. 1 singles in “When I’m Gone” and “Here Without You.” The band’s third record —“Seventeen Days” — was released in 2005 and was the group’s first album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The second was 3 Doors Down’s self-titled full-length album in 2008, which also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Rock Albums, Digital Albums and Alternative Albums charts and was the first record to feature former Puddle of Mudd drummer Upchurch.

In July, 3 Doors Down released “Time of My Life,” which debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes chart and is currently No. 17 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart. Singles “When You’re Young” and “Every Time You Go” both debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Rock Singles chart. The band has had six No. 1 singles, received three Grammy nominations and five BMI Pop Awards for songwriting, with Arnold earning BMI’s Pop Songwriter of the Year award in 2002.

“I think it’s just the fact that we still enjoy doing what we do together,” Harrell said of the band’s continued success. “We love doing it and have a lot of fun doing it together. I think that we’ve just been fortunate to have some of the greatest fans out there that keep us going. There’s a lot of elements that have played into us still being out here. Everything just fell into place.”

Giving backThough 3 Doors Down has gone far with

its’music, it has also gone great lengths to give back. The band formed The Better Life Founda-tion in 2003 with the mission of helping children and young adults in need between Mobile, Ala., and Biloxi, Miss. The foundation has raised more than $2 million for charity to date and on Nov. 19, 3 Doors Down will hold its eighth annual

TBLF concert in Tunica, Miss., with Seether. In addition to supporting several charities all

over the country, The Better Life Foundation also provided assistance to the Gulf Coast region of Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina.

“It’s just been real, real cool to have actu-ally been a part of,” Harrell said. “We’ve actually watched this thing change lives for the better, and it’s just one of those things that we’re all proud to be a part of. It’s really cool to watch somebody’s life change for something you do. It’s been a blessing to us, and we’re going to con-tinue to do it.”

3 Doors Down has also given back to the troops, having been part of the United Services Organization tour and played overseas.

“That was probably one of our better trips we ever made,” Harrell said. “We got to firsthand go see what the soldiers give up to keep us free, and they definitely don’t do it for the money. It’s just really cool to be able to go see those guys and play for them overseas. They’re just so far away from their friends and family. Just seeing what those guys give up changed our lives.”

While 3 Doors Down has racked up many miles and experiences on the road, no trip was quite like the one it took to Bahrain in 2004, when the band thought its journey was going to end on a refueling stop at an Egyptian Air Force base.

“We almost had a wreck in Egypt,” Harrell said. “We were coming down and there were a bunch of camels on the runway, man. So we started pulling up real hard and you could just hear the motor grinding. It seemed like we were just going to fall right out of the sky, but yeah. There’s quite a few stories that we could tell like that that’s happened over the years. I thought we were gone [right then].”

Time of their lifeSixteen years after four friends dreamt of

being touring musicians, 3 Doors Down has fulfilled that dream and is continuing to live it.

“As long as we can keep doing it out there, we’re going to keep doing it because it’s truly what we love to do,” Harrell said. “We just write songs by where we feel we’re at, and I don’t think we’re going to change much.”

Revisiting cities like Toledo, where 3 Doors Down played at the Toledo Sports Arena as an opening act for Sevendust and Creed in its early days 11 years ago, is a reminder of just how far the band has come.

“We’ve played in every hole-in-the-wall you can think of,” Harrell said. “We’ve also played all the bigger places. The crowd keeps it real every night. It really doesn’t matter where you’re playing. If you’ve got people out there in front of you singing the words back to you and having a good time, that’s what it’s about to us.” O

3 Doors Down will headline a concert that also features Grand Rapids, Mich., band Pop Evil on Nov. 5 at the Huntington Center, 500 Jefferson Ave. in Downtown Toledo. Doors are at 7 p.m. Tickets ($37.50 and $47.50) are available through all Ticketmaster locations and can also be purchased at ticketmaster.com or by phone at 800-745-3000. Tickets are also available through the Huntington Center box office, which can be reached by phone at (419) 321-5007.

A lucky hand at Texas Hold’em could win someone a one-week stay in Belgium or the Florida Keys at the FOCUS Fall Event.

Kyle Grefe, executive director of Family Out-reach Community United Services, said there are two major fundraisers every year. The FOCUS Fall Event has been casino themed for the past few years.

FOCUS is a nonprofit agency that helps those who are homeless overcome obstacles and find safe and affordable housing.

FOCUS supports families in the program for one year and sometimes longer.

The first couple hours of the event consist of casino games such as blackjack, Texas Hold’em, roulette and craps. Then attendees can convert the chips they’ve won into raffle tickets.

“This event has traditionally netted us over $30,000 through generous support and sponsor-ship in the community,” Grefe said.

Lori Quartermaine, grants administrator at FOCUS, said the raffle baskets are worth sev-eral hundred dollars, filled with items donated from supporters and board members. One is a sports-themed basket that may include tickets for a Toledo Walleye game, University of Toledo basketball game or other local sporting events.

A quilt sewn by a family member of a FOCUS employee will also be raffled.

Litza Lee, an auctioneer for Pamela Rose Auction Company, will be hosting the live auc-tion. She said she has been to some FOCUS com-mittee meetings and wanted to donate more of her time.

Some of the packages that will be auctioned are a one-week stay at a condo in Brussels, the Florida Keys area or Myrtle Beach, S.C. Quar-termaine said two hand-blown glass pieces donated by local artists Shawn Messenger and Jack Schmidt will also be auctioned.

A board member has been chosen the past couple years to be an honoree at the event. This year Joel Hansen is the honoree. Grefe said he has been a board member for five years.

“Joel was selected for strong commitment to furthering the mission of FOCUS by serving on the board and by being very generous with his time and gifts,” she said. “We want to thank him for all the wonderful work he has done.”

The casino and DJ services are provided by UltraSound Special Events, and Premier Catering will supply the food. Quartermaine said the food mainly consists of hot and cold hors d’oeuvres.

“It’s just a fun way to raise awareness and funds for the families that we support here,” Grefe said. “It’s been a really fun event.”

The Fall Event is from 6:30-10:30 p.m. Nov. 4 at the Gesu Sullivan Center on 2049 Parkside Blvd. in Toledo. Tickets are $55 per person, and attire is business casual. For more information, visit the website focustoledo.org. O

For many parents, watching The Wiggles with their children is a chore. For Chuck Riepenhoff, it’s an inspiration. He created The Wanna Bees while watching a Wiggles video.The band’s debut CD, “Work Together,” was released Oct. 25.

“The idea of The Wanna Bees goes back to February 2002, when I was sitting around watching The Wiggles with my two boys,” Ri-epenhoff said. “At that time they were toddlers. Now they are a freshman and a sixth-grader. I had been in some bands where we’d write good catchy pop tunes before. I thought it was something we could do. Shortly thereafter, the concept of The Wanna Bees popped into my head with all the characters. Right along with that came songs; the theme song came pretty quick. The idea was that we’d be introducing ca-reers to kids through catchy songs and dance.”

Riepenhoff has been playing in bands since col-lege. He graduated from the University of Toledo in 1995 with a degree in pharmacy.

“Whether out and about at bars and events or down in the basement writing songs, I’ve always had something musically going on,” he said.

“Work Together” introduces kids to careers through the characters Doctor Dan, Mailman Mike, Builder Brad and Officer Ollie, each with his own sidekick. The CD includes a theme song, a title track and a song from each character.

The band’s second album will introduce more characters, such as Fireman Freddy and Hydie Hose and Terry Teacher and Charlie Chalkboard. The project has a working title of “Dream Big.”

The concept for The Wanna Bees came to Riepenhoff while watching The Wiggles, but the comparisons stop there. He prefers to compare the band to more contemporary groups such as Barenaked Ladies and Weezer, and he de-scribes the genre as “kindie” music. Riepenhoff envisioned The Wanna Bees as a video-based band but decided to record a CD after the songs started coming together.

“I had a group of musician friends that when-ever I had song ideas, they’d come help me jam them out,” he said. “We worked the songs out in my basement. At first I felt this was more of a visual thing and that the songs couldn’t stand alone. I pictured putting together a DVD with the songs as a backdrop. We were working on a demo DVD. The more songs we wrote and input we got from other people, we realized they were catchy pop tunes and can be on a CD to just

listen to and have fun with.”The project stalled from 2003-07 as Riepen-

hoff and his friends got busy with other mu-sical projects such as The Wow Factor and The Skoobie Snaks.

“We each found ourselves in other party bands doing events,” Riepenhoff said. “The Wanna Bees kind of took a backseat to that and got forgotten for about five or six years. After a while, those bands weren’t going to be playing routinely, so it got back in my head to finish this thing. We started refocusing on The Wanna Bees.”

Riepenhoff handled the majority of song-writing duties with Brad Bury contributing two songs. While his friends helped with the writing and recording, they are less inclined to partici-pate in live shows.

“The live shows are either myself as Doctor Dan playing an acoustic set, or it will be Doctor Dan and a percussionist as another character,” Ri-epenhoff said. “It’s one thing to know musi-cians to write music with or play with, but it’s another to make them dress up in a fireman suit. I have a few people at my disposal for that.”

In 2009, The Wanna Bees finished in the top 5 of the Toledo Free Press Song of Toledo contest with its song “You’re in Toledo, Baby!” Last April, the band submitted a song and video to Fox Sports Detroit for the “April in the D” contest. The panel of judges, including Kid Rock, selected their song “Go (April in the D)” for the Top 10.

“We went to Detroit in front of Comerica Park and Joe Louis Arena,” Riepenhoff said. “We were running around performing in full costume.”

Riepenhoff is exploring teaming up with an-other Toledo project called “Benny’s Kitchen” for a TV show. It would be called “Field Trip with Benny and The Bees.”

The Wanna Bees are performing Nov. 6 at the ProMedica Toledo Children’s Hospital “Kids Celebrity Wait Night.” The event starts at 5 p.m. at The Pinnacle, 1772 Indian Wood Circle in Maumee. Tickets are $35 for adults and $15 for children 12 and younger. Call (419) 291-2809 or email [email protected] for more information.

The CD is available locally at Culture Clash Records and RamaLama Records and online at CDBaby.com/CD/TheWannaBees and through music distributors such as iTunes and Amazon.

f you’ve been involved in the Toledo Hip-Hop music scene within the past five or six years, you know about the members of The Swagga Boyz — Cuntry, Red, Chief and

Mally. Considered to be one of (if not) the best rap groups in the city, it was only a matter of time before one of the members would be recognized beyond the city/state limits for his talents. Enter Mally Speaks, aka Mally the Martian, the group’s producer, who raps. Or is he the rapper who produces? Either way, his talent has taken him from the Midwest to the East Coast and there he stays with a list of some of the industry’s hottest rappers vying for his production. Mally never planned to be a producer, but as a rapper coming from a musically inclined family, he knew he could play by ear and had options.

The journey to the top hasn’t been easy. Mally was signed while in the Swagga Boyz by Shawn Stockman’s (of Boyz II Men) Soul Chemistry Project, but was introduced to the rude awak-ening of the music industry’s uncertainty when things did not work out. Each group member is individually talented with more than “potential” to be at the top of the charts and Mally plans to lead the way. While working with various artists, he finds time for his own projects like his album with Swagga Boyz member Chief as one half of “The Ex.” The Ex is a Hip-Hop group with an ’80s sound, complete with fun/lighthearted subject matter, vibrant synthe-sizers and old bass kicks.

It’s the critical success of his music that keeps his pro-duction in high demand. After dealing with personal and pro-fessional stress, like many art-ists before him, he had come to that breaking point when it was time to decide to pursue his dream like a career. From there, Mally made the life changing choice to move to New Jersey to be closer to business op-portunities and his clientele in New York City.

Earlier this year, Mally released his first mix-tape, “Martian Man Randy Savage,” giving fans his “out of the box” sound mixed with classic Hip-Hop track production.

This project is packed with original music in his signature Midwest, “Golden Era”-influ-enced style with light accents from the ’80s and classic street East Coast beats reminiscent of the late ’90s. Mally completes his music with an easy flow and lyrical content beyond rap’s current pop sound. It was a coincidence that the mixtape’s namesake, the legendary wres-tler “Macho Man” Randy Savage, passed away

shortly after the album was released. So if the music is original, what makes it a mixtape and what does the wrestler have to do with it? It is the art of his approach and his use of specific rants from Savage at the height of his fame to introduce the tracks on his mixtape.

This type creativity and controversial themes are what he plans to repeat in

future mixtape projects. After I listened to his

music and actually down-loaded the album, it was apparent that the time had come for Mally and I to en-

gage in the conversation we were always meant to have. I would find out he

is more familiar than strange and very intel-ligent; few artists under-stand radio as it relates to

the music business as he does. Meshing the old with the new, he has a futuristic

older Hip-Hop genera-tion respects. When I asked him who he’s worked with in the music industry he

humbly replied, “I’ve done Tyga ‘Remember Me,’ Freeway ‘Transporters,’ Paul Cain ‘White Power.’ [I am] currently working with Fabo-lous and his StreetFam Label and Lloyd Banks’ G Unit Cold Corner 2 mixtape.” Sounding like a seasoned insider, it was a chance meeting in Chicago with rapper Paul Cain that helped put him in such good company.

He has committed to putting out a new mix-tape every two months and this week his newest mixtape, “Mally Sheen,” will be released and available for download.

University of Toledo theater veteran Jennifer Rockwood’s latest play literally puts her leads under the bewitching spell of love.

“Bell, Book and Candle,” written by John van Druten, opens Nov. 4 at The Toledo Rep-ertoire Theatre.

“It’s about a woman who bewitches a man into falling in love with her,” Rockwood said. “It’s about the spell one is under when one first falls in love.”

The play debuted on Broadway in the 1950s and was made into a movie starring Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart.

“It’s very sexy and cute and sweet, but we’ve modernized it and brought it up to date,” said Rockwood, who in addition to directing serves as UT’s assistant dean at the College of Innova-tive Learning and the director of the First Year Experience program.

Every person in her cast attended UT, Rock-wood said. Lead Kate Abu-Absi is director of the Arts Living and Learning Community and has performed with several of the actors before in-

cluding male lead Matthew Gretzinger.“It’s a great gang of actors who really get each

other,” Rockwood said. Rockwood became interested in theater in

high school. “I ran away with the theater when I was like

17 and never looked back,” she said with a laugh. Rockwood went on to teach theater for 29 years at UT before moving into an administrative position. She estimated she has directed about 70 plays.

“I live, breathe and eat all sides of the class-room and all sides of the stage,” Rockwood said.

Earlier this year, she directed a reading of a play she wrote, “Watershed,” and is currently reworking it. She is planning a new play for the spring, potentially with her own theater company.

Part of what Rockwood loves about di-recting is the ability to interpret plays differ-ently each time. In “Romeo and Juliet,” she said, “some people might put emphasis on the love of Romeo and Juliet, some people might put emphasis on the fact that they’re up against the parents and the history of young love. That’s the cool thing about doing plays over and over and having people do things differently.”

The University of Toledo’s theater depart-ment will soon make William Shakespeare’s wildest dream come true when they present “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Valentine Theatre. The show is set to open Nov. 4.

Cornel Gabara is directing the production for the department.

“The beauty of directing a piece like this is that Shakespeare is universal, his work be-longs to everyone and relates to human na-ture in general. Because of that, I think I can make my own direction,” Gabara said. “It’s a great opportunity, because even though he is so well-known a large number of people in the audience still may not be very familiar with his work. So for this production we use a lot of contemporary elements like cellphones.

“So much time has passed that we can only really speculate how things were done in Shakespeare’s time. I’m very faithful to the play, but I think that its dark characters tend to get overlooked. If there is a dream, we have to ask ourselves, ‘What is the dream’?”

Gabara is head of acting in the UT Depart-ment of Theatre and Film. He has directed a number of plays for UT, including “The Doctor in Spite of Himself,” “Macbeth” and “Ubu Roi.”

In addition to teaching, he is a founding member of the Glacity Theatre Collective.

“I really want to find what’s new in the piece every time, especially since it’s my first time directing it,” Gabara said. “I’ve worked on the play in class and have started to look at it from a different perspective. I spent weeks going over the text to make sure students un-derstood every word. I think this play really forces students and the audience to see the richness of language.”

The production features Juan C. Rodri-guez as Theseus/Oberon, Aleta Scott as Hip-polyta/Titania, Brian Purdue as Lysander, Starr Chellsea Cutino as Hermia, Ahmad Jamal Atallah as Demetrius, Ashley Stephens as Helena, Keely-Rain Battle as Puck/Philos-trate, Tyria M. Allen as Peter Quince, Devon Desmond as Nick Bottom, Daniel Helmkamp IV as Flute, Sean Koogan as Starveling, Terri Mims as Snout, Timothy Fox as Snug, William Toth as Egeus, Andrés Medina as Cupid and Michelle Delaine Harris as Fairy.

Tickets are $10-$20. Additional show dates are Nov. 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. There will also be two weekday matinees — on Nov. 3 and 4 at 9:30 a.m. Advance tickets can be purchased at the University of Toledo Center for Performing Arts box office.

For information, call (419) 530-2375 or visit www.utoledo.tix.com. O

Directing a love story like “Bell, Book and Candle” has its challenges. “That’s been the part I’ve had to delicately direct and my actors have had to be fearless and not giggling all the time,” Rockwood said. “I like to have fun and not take myself too seriously ... I like it to be a work of joy and not pain,” she said.

Theater also gives Rock-wood a chance to express herself during time off from her “wacky” schedule.

“I have an artistic outlet as well as the stuff I’m doing administratively,” she said.

Rockwood encourages community involvement in the Toledo art scene, espe-cially theater.

“Community theater has a great place in a city to keep theater alive and out front. My goal in life is always to get more people to come to the theater and enjoy it,” she said. Her husband, John Rockwood, a photogra-pher, musician and artist, contributes to that scene and created two paintings shown on-stage during the play.

“Bell, Book and Candle” is at The Toledo Repertoire Theatre Nov. 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 20 at 8 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. Visit to-ledorep.org or call (419) 243-9277 for more in-formation. Adult tickets are $18, senior tickets are $16, students 12 and younger tickets at $5, students 13 and older are $10 and groups of 10 or more guests are $15. O

Memorabilia is our “thing”

By Jason MackToledo Free Press sTar Web ediTor

[email protected]

fter a career in television and public rela-tions, Judy Paschalis has turned to the art of quilting to express her political beliefs with what she calls QuiltToons.

“People find it interesting that it’s a quilt,” she said. “If I didn’t put the middle and the back on I couldn’t call it a quilt. For some reason, that’s the way I started making them. I was looking for a book on quilts at the library and saw a lady was doing memory quilts for her family.”

Paschalis earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Toledo and attended Bowling Green State University to receive a mas-ter’s degree in communications. She retired after working jobs such as television reporter, talk show host and public relations specialist.

She began making memory quilts and ex-panded to what she calls PolitiQuilts. The memory quilts center around family history while the Poli-tiQuilts express her views on current events.

“It’s because I listen to the news all day long,” she said. “I’m a news junkie. Not everything lends itself to a QuiltToon. It’s when I see some-thing and want to make a statement about it.”

Paschalis has plenty of material to work with when it comes to memory quilts. She is married to Emmanuel “Manos” Paschalis, owner of Manos Greek Restaurant, and they have four children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

She has also delved into the past for memory quilts with a series called “Tillie’s Story.” The series tells the stories of her mother, Matilda Heidebrecht Funderburk, who grew up in a Mennonite community in Kansas. It covers topics such as coming to America, the loss of her parents, meeting her husband, teaching, fighting for civil rights and her death in 2004.

“My mom had told me stories about her life,” Paschalis said. “I decided I would make them

so the kids could see it. I keep them all in a box for any descendants that want to look at it. My family really seems to like it.”

Paschalis has done PolitiQuilts about every-thing from Stephen Colbert to the BP oil spill.

“I found this ugly gold-splattered brown and green material,” she said. “When the oil spill happened, I re-alized it was perfect for it. The oil spill is ugly, and so is this quilt.”

The first political quilt Paschalis ever made was in-spired by the actions of Karl Rove prior to the 2004 elec-tion. The piece is called “Karl Rove’s Amazing Evangelical Jack-in-the-Box.”

“It made me feel like people in Ohio got used,” she said. “Karl Rove engineered putting on the ballot the gay marriage thing to get people out

to vote so they would vote for Bush. Then, after Bush was elected, he never mentioned that again. If I were a fundamentalist Christian, I’d feel kind of used and abused.”

One piece Paschalis is particularly proud of is a quilt called “The Arab Spring Facebook Revo-lution” about how social media was involved in uprisings in the Middle East.

“I’m proud of the Facebook one because I think it’s accurate,” she said. “I had seen an hour-long special on CNN talking to the young people going through these revolutions. They said they were able to communicate using Facebook and the Internet.”

Many of the ideas for Paschalis’ political quilts have come from lively debates with her husband.

“Manos and I talk, and he is conservative and I’m liberal,” she said. “We talk about things and argue about things. Some of my ideas come from things he says. We’ll just be talking and I’ll think, ‘That’s a quilt.’”

Paschalis makes her quilts purely for the sake of expression. Her work has only been publicly displayed once, and she has sold a total of three quilts.

“I try not to get caught up in what other people will think of it,” she said. “I’m doing it for myself. Manos and I agree that I shouldn’t try to sell these, because nobody wants to pay what you need to charge. He thinks I should try to display them. A gallery doesn’t want to though because they want to sell them. I’ve only sold three quilts. I don’t want to make anything I don’t want to make, because then it’s not fun.”

All of her quilts are displayed on a blog at QuiltToonist.wordpress.com along with a de-scription of the inspiration for each piece.

“I make one maybe once a month, so it’s not hard,” Paschalis said. “If I were doing a daily blog that would be difficult. Forget that. That’s just too much and not even interesting. It’s fun to put it out there though.” O

Beds By Holly Burnside, Toledo

If you’d come complete with a pointed black hat, or a wicked cat that hissed at strangers, then perhaps your intentions would have been made clear but your needlepoint rendered you beyond reproach, and I was lonely, then, lonely enough to lie about being an only child, to invent siblings out of dust and ribs and rubber dolls, and silent above all else. I might have thanked you for cutting the chewing gum out of my hair and for letting me sit on the dog,

but you built a trap out of your daughter’s bed, and once your son told me that God lived in the doors and I believed, my religion was the all-seeing eye in the grain of the wood, so I prayed away the long mornings and painted the faces of Raggedy Ann and Andy on the sheets again and again with my finger wet with spit listening for Lucille Ball to make her noontime TV entrance, the signal to move from the bed to the chair to face down another plate of Chef Boyardee. Then I was practiced and silent every night at home behind my pile of coats in the hallway watching the corner of Hill Street Blues I could see reflected in the mirror on the living room wall. Why won’t she sleep? Why won’t she sleep? the constant query, and I could not answer, the bed is a prison, I am a forced convalescent, a daily convict beating twin-bed bars, and I am silent knowing I am lucky, lucky to be seen by God who lives in each closed door, lucky to have a bed to sleep in every night, more so than orphans and the children who inherit my outgrown toys from the Salvation Army wagon. I am lucky enough to lie.

Editor’s Note When I announced the concept of an all-women poetry page, I was afraid I might not get many submissions, but the response has been overwhelming; thank you! That being the case, this edition will be a two-parter. If you submitted work, look in the next edition as well. As always you can send submissions, questions and concerns to [email protected].

— John Dorsey

His factory job – deep in the noise of industrial diamond saws and clouds of carbon by product allowed his family to be consumers.

His sense of smell paid for our 80’s style Saved By The Bell school clothes.

His hearing gave me a bed full of stuffed animals and a pound puppy comforter.

His skin tainted so black from the carbon burn bought us a leather sofa and a yellow second-hand kitchenette set.

But he could not rest on the couch. Mother scolded him for ruining it with his nuclear bomb blast imprinted outline about his body.

But he could not sit his lunch bucket on the table next to the Kool-Aid glass crop circles after a grueling 12 hour shift. Mother scolded him for ruining it with the soot that eats away at her Formica shell.

He is coated and coating everything with a stain that can not be scoured clean – Not even with Lava Soap. Carbon burned into him – A life of black dirt in his pores paying for my childhood.

He hugs me. I hug him. Mother scolds us. She is afraid we are spreading carbon toxins.

Trained docents at the Toledo Art Museum will give those people in the early stages of Al-zheimer’s disease or dementia and their care-takers a special tour Nov. 5, providing them with a means of social interaction.

“Meet Me at TMA” is a monthly museum tour that started about two-and-a-half years ago when program developer Lynn Duty read about a similar program at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Duty said the program caught her eye because her mother has Alzheimer’s disease. She contacted MoMA and the Alzheimer’s As-sociation, Northwest Ohio chapter, to get the program started and learn how to train docents to work with people suffering from memory loss.

“It’s been a collaborative project pretty much from day one,” said Teri Sharp, public relations manager at TMA. The program typically oc-curs on the first Saturday of each month with the topic changing every time. The November’s theme is “War Stories,” studying how war im-pacts art. On Dec. 3 at 1:30 p.m., docents will present “Medieval Tapestries.”

About 15-20 people attend the free event each month. Each tour is designed to benefit those with memory loss.

“We know that people with dementia tend to have different learning needs. You just have to talk a little bit slower,” said Cheryl Conley, pro-

grams and services director at the Alzheimer’s Association, Northwest Ohio chapter.

Tours also feature more repetition, are shorter and contained to fewer rooms than a typical tour. Conversation between the group and docents is also encouraged. The two organizations com-missioned a study this spring on the program.

“They have found very positive results for the caregiver as well as for the person with Alzheim-er’s. It encourages their interest in the outside world,” Duty said. Often, caregivers can become isolated from their friends because so much of their time and energy is put into caregiving.

The tours can also bring back memories for those with memory loss.

“It’ll spark their memories and they’ll talk about something they remember from high school or college,” Sharp said.

One recent tour-goer was an artist with memory loss, Conley said. He believed he was more prolific after getting Alzheimer’s disease, which brought up a discussion of whether his increased ability was a result of his brain oper-ating differently or a drive to make the most of his time, Conley said.

“While the group is very social in nature ... it has a very strong therapeutic value,” she said.

Reservations are encouraged and can be made at (419) 537-1999. The free event begins at 1:30 p.m. Parking is $5 for nonmembers. People with questions on memory loss are encouraged to call 800-272-3900 to be connected to their local Alzheimer’s Association chapter. O

Everyone loves a good mash-up. YouTube would be a very boring place without the bastard offspring of The Beatles and The Monkees, or even Lady GaGa vs. the Ghostbusters. In comics, mash-ups aren’t exactly new, but a book like “Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes” can still raise a few Vulcan eyebrows. Unfortunately, the first issue of the new miniseries, a joint venture between DC Comics and IDW Publishing, beams in as a lopsided two-headed whatzit.

The uneven nature of the series begins with the multimedia “Trek” being paired with the lesser-known comic book super-team, which claims a fervent fanbase but just doesn’t have the worldwide clout of Kirk, Spock and co. The comic tries to present both equally, but it’s soon apparent that this is in-tended to be a “Trek”-heavy project. The Legion is actually an older property, begun in 1958, but DC’s super-heroic teenagers of the far future have never really taken off outside of the comics industry. And this book tends to reflect that situation.

“Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes” begins with a glimpse at a dystopian future not dis-

similar to that in the fa-mous “Mirror, Mirror” ep-isode of the original “Star Trek” show. But, since this is just the beginning of the tale, no explana-tions are forthcoming as to that dark scene’s exis-tence. Then we’re shown the real Enterprise and the real Legion, each in their own respective fu-ture universes, falling into the aforementioned troubled times. The two casts do not meet, but one assumes they even-tually will; why else would we be here?

Overall, there’s not much that transpires in

the 22 pages, nothing that you haven’t already seen in countless comics and “Trek” episodes. The art is nice and the writing competent, but for $3.99 you yearn for a bit more meat on the bone. First issues are generally just introduc-tions to the situations, but there’s little here to urge you to buy No. 2. In all, the book stands as a kind of gateway drug, a bit too obviously trying to hook you on either of the properties therein. Whether you fall for it depends on how desperate you are for mash-ups. O

Halloween might have passed, but the thrills continue with the Xbox 360/Kinect exclusive “Rise of Nightmares” (SEGA), which plays like an interactive horror film. Players begin on a train trip through Romania with a wife character then go through the lengthy tutorial section learning how to move and control your character (a pretty intuitive interface) as the storyline advances with basic missions and fantas-tical antagonists.

The Kinect interface works well, primarily using hand gestures to grab ob-jects, climb ladders, open doors and, of course, kill zombies with a fair number of weapons including vases, scalpels, hatchets, machetes, explosive test tubes, recovered limbs and a chainsaw.

Of course, these weapons lead to some very intensely gory zombie-killing.

Designed as a one-player game, “Rise” moves a bit slowly with a lot of door opening in the ini-tial rounds of the game. Players can maneuver by turning their shoulders with a right foot forward or backward in the play space. Automatic mo-

tion is accomplished with a bicyclist’s right-turn signal — a right arm angled up at 90 degrees.

Players should swap places with other players in mid-stream as the same character to keep the story going and prevent fatigue.

This technique expands the game into multiplayer play while enhancing the game experience, which, like a good horror movie, shocks and surprises at the right moments.

The intensity of some scenes led to a few screams of shock and surprise.

It is a bit boring playing just as a single player, but playing with a group trans-forms the experience into an actual horror

movie and, as we all know, a lot of the fun of a horror movie is other people screaming (***, rated M for some sequences of extreme blood and gore, strong profanity, partial nudity, and intense violence). O

Star honored for arts coverageThe Ohio Chapter of the Society of Profes-

sional Journalists (SPJ) has awarded Toledo Free Press Star second place in the Best Arts Reporting category, for Ohio publications under 100,000 circulation. The award recognized the work of writer Kristen Criswell.

“For Star to make an impact at the state level during its first year is exciting and pro-vides a challenge to improve that impact in the coming years,” said Star Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller. “This is an exciting and cre-ative city, and we are striving to reflect that, from the smallest gallery to the halls of the Toledo Museum of Art.”

Toledo Free Press won the title of Best Weekly Newspaper in Ohio for the third straight year. Toledo Free Press competes in the circulation of 100,000 or above category.

“We are grateful to SPJ for the recognition and we are pleased to keep this title in Toledo,” Miller said. “There is a small group of people here who work very hard, and as we enter our seventh year, we feel like we are just hitting our stride in serving the local community.”

Raceway Park awardRaceway Park named Toledo Free Press its

Corporate Sponsor of the Year for its sponsor-ship of the Party at the Park concert series.

“We wouldn’t be able to have the level of success we had this year if it wasn’t for the relationship with the Toledo Free Press,” said

John McNamara, director of marketing and guest services at Raceway Park. “It was a no-brainer this year. The partnership helped us take the concert series to a new level of aware-ness in the community, seeing how successful Toledo Free Press has become in this market in such a short amount of time. It’s obviously well-respected and held in high regard with the community as a reliable news and enter-tainment source.”

Tom Pounds, president and publisher of Toledo Free Press and TFP Star, said, “We have great resepct for Raceway Park and have been impressed with its community-minded opera-tors. We look forward to seeing the impact of Penn National Gaming as it invests hundreds of millions of dollars in our community.”

The fifth year of the concert series featured performances by local bands such as Hoozier Daddy, Nine Lives, MAS FiNA, The Chris Brown Band and 56 Daze. Attendance at the track has in-creased by 40 percent on Saturdays since the con-cert series began.

“Because of the way the racing industry is and what a corporate sponsor allows you to do, it is an essential piece of marketing and bringing live racing to the public,” McNamara said. “Since we started partnering with local businesses, it’s helped us do a lot of fun stuff at the track. We’ve bucked the national trend of live racing atten-dance plummeting.” O

as Shakespeare a fraud?

The ques-tion is asked by

posters, banners, commer-cials and other advertising for the new film “Anonymous,” which saw limited release Oct. 28. As the movie opens wider, its tantalizing plot filled with conspiracy, secrets and claims about the truth behind theater’s most famous playwright will continue to draw a curious audience.

But the scholarship behind its premise — that Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford, was the true author of Shake-speare’s works — is widely considered shaky at best and an offensive example of classism at worst.

Stephannie Gearhart, assistant professor in the Department of English at Bowling Green State University, had more than her fair share of experience dealing with the Bard’s work. She has presented essays at the Shakespeare Association of America, written numerous arti-cles related to his plays and is currently writing a book manuscript, “Drama and the Politics of Generational Conflict in Shakespeare’s England.”

“With apologies to Ben Jonson, then, I’d say that Shakespeare was both ‘of an age’ and ‘for all time,’ though readers tend to ignore the former point in favor of the latter point,” Gearhart wrote in an email interview with Toledo Free Press Star.

Gearhart is intimately familiar with the Earl of Oxford theory, from its origins in the 1920 work of an author named (no jokes, please) J. Thomas Looney. It was Looney who posited that someone like de Vere would have a greater working knowledge of the royal court than an “outsider” like Shakespeare.

“Further, a man like de Vere, who because of his class position attended university, is assumed to have been capable of writing such sophisti-cated plays,” Gearhart said. “Shakespeare, on the other hand, had a more limited education be-cause of his class position and thus is assumed by Oxfordians to have been unable to compose the plays; some critics even go so far as to suggest that Shakespeare was illiterate.”

These arguments are intriguing but they have no basis in reality.

“This theory is not based in fact but in a de-sire to find someone of a higher class to have been responsible for the plays,” Gearhart said.

“There are many reasonable objections to this theory, including 1. the education Shake-speare received would have been quite rigorous, and so to suggest he was illiterate or incapable of working so successfully with language is foolish; 2. the assumptions made about class in this theory are untenable; 3. de Vere’s extant poetry is not of the same quality as the poetry in the plays; 4. de Vere died in 1604, but several of the plays,

including ‘Macbeth’ and ‘The Tempest,’ were written after this date.”

The theory also carries an unsettling streak of con-descension, sneering at the idea that someone of “lower

birth” could ever have accom-plished something as grand as the Bard’s work.

“The objection that someone in Shakespeare’s social position could not have written the plays is founded upon a very ugly

assumption about the intel-lectual abilities of those not belonging to the upper class,”

Gearhart said.Gearhart is concerned

that audience members may end up swallowing the film’s version of history.

“Moviegoers tend to like conspiracy theory films, and I fear that if ‘Anony-mous’ presents a compelling enough narrative, viewers will be convinced by it regardless of the facts. Most viewers, I suspect, are unaware of how and why a theory like this one came to be and all of the very reasonable evidence against it,” she said.

To that end, she said maybe those in the film’s au-dience will be inspired to do their own research, and learn for themselves what the facts (or lack thereof) behind the Oxford theory really are. Or maybe asking a larger ques-tion: More than 400 years after they first appeared, why do we even care about the question of who “really” wrote the plays?

“What I mean by this is, if we have all of these wonderful plays, why, we should ask ourselves, are we so concerned with identifying a single in-dividual responsible for producing them? Why is authorship so important to us, and why does it bother us when we are uncertain about it?”

Gearhart has no answer for the most pivotal question of all — whether she’ll be seeing the film herself when it arrives in the area.

“I know that the film will not change my mind about the authorship question. At the same time, I’ve heard that it’s wise to know your enemy, so perhaps I will venture out to see ‘Anonymous,’ even if I end up watching it, as will most other Shakespeare scholars, gritting my teeth and shaking my head,” she said.
