Miller: Goodbye, farewell and amen

By

Few experiences foster sentiment like an unexpected goodbye, but as I leave Toledo Free Press — and Toledo — the past few weeks have paradoxically blessed me with great clarity.

Orson Welles once said that a movie set was the best train set a boy ever had; having contributed to the creation, ascension and maintenance of Toledo Free Press for nearly 10 years, I would contradict him and suggest a community newspaper is an even better mental laboratory, war room and playground.

.

.

When Tom Pounds contacted me in early 2005 with his idea for a weekly newspaper aimed at being a community partner, I hesitated. I was uncertain if I wanted to leave the security of my News Editor gig at The Daily Telegram in Adrian. Pounds convinced me he would provide the resources and allow me to build a newspaper from scratch, an opportunity I could not resist.

Ten years later, Pounds has never broken his promise to allow me to guide Toledo Free Press content. That does not mean we are not collaborators in strategy and business, but it does mean that if you like, love or hate what Toledo Free Press is, you like, love or hate my singular vision for what a newspaper can be in a community. Like Welles tinkering with cameras and film, I have utilized words and images to forge a publication that strives to be a good neighbor and community partner, but also a watchdog and critic. That may seem like a dichotomy, but both roles stem from love for the people and spirit of Toledo.

While I owe Pounds my gratitude for the opportunity to create this news voice — winner of five consecutive Society of Professional Journalists Best Weekly Newspaper in Ohio awards — my greater debt is to the readers who patiently watched as Toledo Free Press evolved. For more than 500 weeks, many of you met me here to read about life in and around the Glass City, then turned the pages to absorb my vision for news, arts and business coverage.

We have been particularly close on this page. You have allowed me not only to rebuke the Carty Finkbeiners, Larry Sykeses and Jon Stainbrooks of our region (although fortunately there is only one of each of those villains), but to walk with you on some intimate journeys. When Toledo Free Press launched, I was married but did not have children; we now have two amazing sons, and as I have chronicled Evan and Sean’s growing pains, you have helped me understand that no matter how personal an experience may be, it is almost always also universal.

You were also patient and encouraging as I wrote about my weight gain and loss issues. As I ballooned to more than 400 pounds and then chose a bariatric surgery that brought me back down to 200, you listened. Many of you actively cheered me on, which was tremendously motivating. Some of you embarked on similar journeys, which was even more motivating. A few of you were mystifyingly nasty about it, which I found to be the most motivating of all.

There have been some great partners who made this journey possible. Pounds, of course, and charter employees Renee Bergmooser and Pam Burson. I have also been blessed to work with some incredible journalists — Brandi Barhite, Vicki L. Kroll, Justin Kalmes, Kristen Criswell, James A. Molnar, Don Lee, Matt Zapotosky, Duane Ramsey, Jeff McGinnis and Sarah Ottney, to name just a very few among many.

I have watched with admiration and amusement as two particular people who are not trained journalists have revolutionized Toledo media — Lisa Renee Ward and Jeremy Baumhower may not have degrees in communications, but I would work with them over many of the more established media figures in our market. Ward and Baumhower represent a new age of media, and those who ignore their contributions do so at their own continued ignorance.

There have also been people who played various roles in Toledo Free Press philanthropy projects — Chris Kozak, Chrys Peterson, Ellie

McManus, Eric Slough, Tim Yenrick, Amanda Aldrich, Lauren O’Neill, Rachel Richardson, Julie Malkin, Rob Armstrong, Jim Murray, George Sarantou, Sam Melden, Will Lucas, Kelly Fritz Garrow, Kyle Grefe, Bill Kitson, Lexi Staples, Larry Meyer, Rick Cornett, Justin Moor, Jennifer Rockwood, Ken Leslie, Becca Gorman and a score of others. It is through these people that Toledo Free Press was allowed to play a role in such legacy projects as our annual CDs, Toledo Pride, Restaurant Week Toledo, Jam City, Holiday with Heart, TEDx Toledo and many other philanthropic events.

The CD projects have allowed me to become friends — or at least friendly — with some of the most talented people in Toledo. Kerry Patrick Clark, Eddie Boggs, Jeff Stewart, Kyle White, Alyson Stoner, Crystal Bowersox, Ramona Collins, Pat Dailey, Mighty Wyte, Chris Stoll and so many other amazing talents.

All of these people give because they understand the larger community needs people who give. These are people with inner lights so bright, they lead the way for those of us with far less talent and heart. I love these people for fighting for those who can’t fight, and for inspiring action over surrender.

These Toledoans are especially important to me because I have also had to battle a number of absolute creeps and cowards who seek only personal advancement at the expense of the greater community. There are corrupt elected officials, wicked and greedy leeches in the business community, incompetent pay-for-play media practitioners, Judas betrayers, car dealers who prey on economically challenged customers but don’t pay their own bills, weak-willed academics, spineless news anchors and gutter-dwelling errand boys who contribute to the attitudes that rot this great city at its core. There are people walking among us so warped by their own ambition and hypocrisy that their souls are hopelessly smothered under spider webs of lies and delusion.

I have always tried to be honest with you, so I am obligated to tell you that I have become something I have always claimed to loathe. I have long lamented that Toledoans often chose comfort over ambition. Our people cling to a substandard status quo rather than take risks today that could lead to a better tomorrow for all of us. The rejection of Mike Bell’s ambitious and progressive agenda is only the most recent example of this attitude. I am disappointed to realize that I have fallen into this behavior in my job at Toledo Free Press. I have cleared a path, and find myself circling back over it again and again rather than seeking more challenging terrain. I have chosen comfort over ambition, the sin I identify as Toledo’s greatest failing. I am startled to realize that I could coast in this job for as long as I could channel work to others and rest on the laurels of successful projects.

But choices like that lead to the corruption that has enveloped so many prominent Toledoans and inhibits Toledo’s growth and prosperity. I need to shake up my professional life so I may contribute in new and greater ways. That opportunity has arisen as a result of a major career move my wife is making. She has been offered a fantastic role in her art therapy field, one that will take our family to the Cleveland area. I am blessed to have also found an opportunity that offers new challenges and a chance to make a difference — as Director of News and Community Content for United Way of Greater Cleveland. I am excited to begin there even as I am sad to leave here.

It feels like a heart-rending breakup.

It’s not you, Toledo, it’s me.

I hope you will understand, as you have so generously understood my previous choices.

I hate to let go of your hand. I am scared to leave your company. I am going to miss you and I will ache for your friendship.

But I refuse to calcify. I refuse to allow a lowest-common-denominator attitude to define my life. I refuse to become complacent and be part of the problem.

I will always sing of you, Toledo. I will always brag about you. I will always take solace in our time together. I will always be in your debt and I will always love you.

Goodbye. Farewell. Amen.

Ottney: Let’s rock and roll

RENTAL BIKES ON THE TOWPATH TRAIL IN CUYAHOGA VALLEY NATIONAL PARK NEAR CLEVELAND.

Cleveland rocks.

I already knew that from the many concerts I’ve attended, since they’re just about the only reasonI’ve ever gone to Cleveland. But it also rolls.

I visited Northeast Ohio this past weekend along with Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller to dig into a weekend of “urban outdoors” activities organized by Positively Cleveland, the city’s tourism and convention bureau. Our group of mainly travel writers hailed from as far as Toronto, New York City and Denver as well as elsewhere in Ohio.

I logged more miles on a bicycle than I have in years, including a ride on the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail through Cuyahoga Valley National Park, on painted “trails” winding through a massive mountain bike park built inside a former factory and an amazing night ride with 1,500 other cyclists on the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway highway, from Edgewater Park to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and back. Kayaking, birdwatching and outdoor yoga were also on the agenda.

Cleveland, like Toledo, is a Rust Belt city shaped by its blue-collar, industrial past. But, like Toledo, it also features a vibrant art scene, creative culinary scene, lots of green space and plenty of pride.

Clevelanders have heard all the jokes — about the river that caught on fire, the losing sports teams, “At Least We’re Not Detroit” — but you have to respect those who embrace the mockery and turn it on its head. People make fun of your burning river? Name a beer after it. Name a festival after it. Name a roller derby team after it. Better yet, name a foundation dedicated to improving and maintaining said river after it. Own it.

I heard a lot of other R words this weekend: Renaissance. Revival. Rebirth. Revitalization. Renovation. Rejuvenation. Resilience.

Positively Cleveland’s research shows a huge gap between the positive experiences of those who have visited the city and the negative perceptions of those who have not, the organization’s president and CEO David Gilbert recently told cleveland. com. The same could be said of Toledo.

Cleveland’s Ohio City — recently pegged by USA Today as an up-andcoming neighborhood — is known for its food and breweries. In 2011 it was named as one of the world’s best bar hopping destinations, listed alongside places like Dublin, Brooklyn and Portland.

Many young people I talked to said they moved back “to be part of the renaissance.” They saw something happening they didn’t want to miss out on.

“Cleveland’s like the Brooklyn of the Midwest. There’s an artisan hipster kind of renaissance,” said Mandi Kotynski, marketing coordinator for several Ohio City breweries, including Nano Brew Cleveland, an experimental single-barrel brew house that features a new beer each week. “With lots of breweries [in Ohio City], you’d think it’d be competition, but there’s a sense of community and working together to build Cleveland up.”

Nick VanDemark, 27, of the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission said he’s amazed at the changes in the four years since he moved back to Northeast Ohio.

“People will hate it until they are here. Then they love it,” VanDemark said. “Two years ago, even the locals would be negative about Cleveland. Now they are proud and trying to get you to come here. It’s like, ‘Make your joke. You don’t know what you’re talking about.’”

Biking is also a big part of the new Cleveland. A privately funded bikeshare pilot program launched earlier this month through Zagster with 34 bikes in six locations in Ohio City. The bikes are accessed for a hourly rate via a free app, which supplies a code to unlock a bike. Cleveland’s initiative is the company’s first fully public rental system.

Ray’s Indoor Bike Park was jawdropping. It’s 140,000 square feet of ramps, trails and foam pits constructed inside an old factory building, remodeled each season to keep things fresh.

BIKING THE TOWPATH TRAIL IN CUYAHOGA VALLEY NATIONAL PARK.

Another innovative idea is Merwin’s Wharf, a restaurant owned, operated and staffed by Cleveland Metroparks employees with all proceeds benefiting the Metroparks. A special brew, Fat Head’s Brewery’s Trail Head Pale Ale, is sold throughout the region to fund upkeep on the trails. The restaurant, which opened this summer overlooking the river, was bustling during our visit.

Cleveland’s Metroparks, known as the Emerald Necklace, includes 18 park reservations spanning nearly 23,000 acres, including eight golf courses and a zoo. It drew 16 million visitors last year.

Nearby Cuyahoga Valley National Park features the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, running year-round between Independence and Akron. The railroad offers a discount for bicyclists and well as craft beer and wine rides and a “Polar Express” ride for kids each winter.

Toronto-based “adventure blogger” Red Hunt of Red Hunt Travel enjoyed Cleveland’s “community vibe.”

“Whether it was bike co-ops or programs through Cleveland Metroparks, there was a feel-good, educational vibe to enjoying and exploring the great outdoors in the city,” he said.

Denver-based travel blogger Carri Wilbanks of Catch Carri came away with the impression Cleveland was “a city on the rise.”

“I am so impressed by a collaborative effort to create community,” she said.

The city hosted the Gay Games this summer — Paris will host the next one — and was selected to host the Republican National Convention in 2016. Plus, “King James” is back and Johnny Manziel’s in town.

“I feel like everything’s ramping up,” said Erin Fox, 27, who grew up in Northeast Ohio and works in social media for CBS Radio in Cleveland. “You need infrastructure for events like that. We’re a big city that used to be huge, so we have all those pieces. We just need to freshen them up. All the pieces are in place and we’re running on all cylinders.”

I don’t know how our Positively Cleveland hosts arranged for the absolutely perfect fall weather — leaves just starting to turn, birds chirping, sun shining amid the whir of pedals, the occasional squeal of a brake pedal and the soft wooden clatter of boardwalks under the tires — that lasted all weekend, but I know I’ll think back on it fondly as we move into winter.

Positively Cleveland likes to say: “If you don’t like what people are saying, change the conversation.”

Call to action: #ThisIsCLE.

Lott Industries expanding into food service industry

By Michele Jurek, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer

After 58 years, Lott Industries is expanding into the food service industry. Lott employs individuals with developmental disabilities and is affiliated with the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities (LCBDD). Nearly 500 people currently work at its two facilities on Hill Avenue in Toledo and Holland Road in Maumee. The nonprofit also trains employees to work on site at businesses throughout the community. Over the years, Lott has placed thousands of workers into jobs in the community in a variety of industries.

Its building on Hill Avenue has a kitchen that was originally built as a training center, but Lott employees were too busy working with Ford and other businesses to use the kitchen for training. Instead,  it has been used as a regular kitchen by an outside vendor who comes in to prepare lunch for the employees. But in October, Lott will begin training some of its employees to prepare and serve lunch to other employees.

“Our goal is to be more of a training facility where we teach individuals different jobs to build their skill sets so we can hopefully find them a job in the community,” said Tim Menke, Lott Industries’ sales manager. “With the kitchen, we will be training people in things like food preparation, cleaning, doing dishes — everything they would need to know to work at a restaurant so they can be placed there.”

Lott has hired a consultant to guide it through the licensing and nutrition aspects and a kitchen manager to oversee the business side of this venture. It is also bringing in habilitation coordinators from the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities to train personnel.

“The kitchen was built and opened a decade ago with the intent of training our individuals in the food services,” said Dan Clemens, chief operating officer of Lott Industries. “In-sourcing the entire operation to combine the recently hired Lott food experts with the current LCBDD staff that successfully trains individuals every day at Lott Industries will guarantee success.”

Eventually the food service training will branch out to feed outside guests. Lott hosts some community events and small conventions at its facilities, and they would like to train employees to serve the people that attend these events.

“We are very excited to initially offer nutritious meals at a competitive price to both our staff and individuals,” Clemens said. “In the near future, we are hoping to increase our food services to the other Lucas County Board of DD facilities, which will allow us to train and employ even more individuals. Eventually, Lott Industries will be ready to maximize the capacity at the Hill facility kitchen, providing food to local charter schools or boxed lunches at local conferences/venues. Our discussions over the last year with local business leaders and community leaders have been met with optimism. The continuing needs of the community and the mission of Lott Industries will provide a viable future for the individuals that we serve while providing a valuable service to the community.”

Another recent endeavor is Lott’s partnership with Mobile Meals of Toledo. Employees pack weekend lunch bags for students in six Toledo Public Schools and two Toledo Catholic Diocese schools. Mobile Meals has been preparing healthy weekend food packages for these schools for several years, and now Lott Industries is providing the employees to pack the meals. Lott already packs shelf-stable meals for school systems in California and Arizona, so employees had prior experience in this area.

Lott is also beginning a partnership with Sustainable Local Foods, which utilizes science and technology to grow produce in hydroponic indoor gardens 365 days a year. Hydroponic gardens grow plants in a stream of nutrients and water, but without soil, and it’s called hydroponics.

Lott will start by sending 34 employees to work at Erie Street Market from there Sustainable Foods is harvesting, and they will help with the cleaning and sanitizing of the hydroponic planting channels.

The next step will be for Lott employees to grow basil in a nursery-type setting inside the Hill Avenue facility; where Sustainable Local Foods will harvest, pack and send it to local stores to be sold. Within the next 30 days, Lott’s goal is to have Sustainable Local Foods construct a 30-foot by 80-foot hoop house, which is similar to a greenhouse but not quite as hot, on the Hill Avenue property to begin growing lettuce and other vegetables.

After they learn the system, Lott will probably buy its own hoop house and eventually grow vegetables to be used in its own kitchen. These initiatives will help create more local jobs and bring more healthy foods into local markets.

For most of its existence, Lott Industries has worked in light assembly and document destruction, and until 2008 was also heavily involved with the Ford Motor Co. When the economy took a downward turn, hitting the auto industry hard, the Maumee Stamping Plant one of the larger plants Lott Industries worked with, was forced to close.

About 80 percent of Lott’s revenue at the time came was from the auto industry, so the facility had to reinvent itself in 2008. It began partnering with a variety of other businesses in the community to offer services to increase their productivity and profits.

Some of the diverse employment opportunities Lott Industries has taken on over the past few years include sorting hangers for Aramark, making traffic barrels, cones and signs for the construction industry, sorting cardboard for United Container Corporation, sorting pallets for Pepsi, assembling packaging for the pharmaceutical industry, assembling garage door parts for Service Spring Corporation, labeling and sorting fertilizer and lawn care products for The Andersons and many other services for a variety of industries.

Lott Industries continues to look for new businesses to partner with in order  to find more jobs in the community for individuals with disabilities.

Branching out into the food preparation and service industry and partnering with other food providers allows Lott to create more jobs and to benefit the community.

Eastwood Theater open for $5 movie screenings

The Eastwood Theater is screening movies again.

The announcement was made via Facebook on Sept. 18, a post shared and commented on more than 200 times. Josh Harnegie, the theater’s outreach coordinator and one of the people behind the opening, was impressed by the excitement.

“It had as many shares as it had likes within the span of 20-something hours,” he said. “Personally, I’ve never seen anything like that.”

The opening provides a safe entertainment option for the surrounding communities, Harnegie said.

“A lot of people, in my research, don’t really cross the bridge to go to Franklin Park,” he said. “It’s not that far away but it might as well be on the other side of the world.”

Framed articles from 1921 hang in the front lobby detailing the theater’s early history. The Eastwood Theater shuffled between different owners and churches over the years, once showing pornography only. The theater is currently shared with Cornerstone Church, which holds services there.

“I didn’t really understand the rich history of East Toledo until I started looking into the project,” he said.

The theater has been renovated and repainted. Upgrading a single-screen theater like the Eastwood Theater can cost anywhere from $130,000 to $500,000 — “quite a significant investment,” Harnegie said.

Of the many renovations, the ticket window in the front was kept even though it probably won’t be used.

“We wanted to keep that old-time feel without making it historic,” he said.

Able to seat 342 people, Harnegie hopes to sponsor additional events like political debates at the venue, or to rent to local charter schools without access to an auditorium. The venue is currently having a “soft open” with weekend showings for “Maleficent” and “Transformers: Age of Extinction.” All showings cost $5.

Weekday showings will eventually be added for family-friendly films and blockbusters, Harnegie said.  A grand opening is also being planned and will take place within the next couple weeks.

The theater is at 817 E. Broadway St. For more information, call (419) 720-5199 or visit eastwoodtheater.com.

Oregon administrator: Toledo water crisis likely ‘false positive’

By
Toledo Free Press

As area residents scrambled for bottled water during the so-not-drink advisory in August, many people wondered why Oregon residents did not experience a similar emergency. Oregon’s treatment facility is fed by the same Lake Erie water. “Why wouldn’t Oregon be affected as well?” area residents asked.

According to Oregon City Administrator Mike Beazley, the answer is simple: Toledo suffered from a “false positive.” The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) changed the testing protocol, giving Toledo a reading above the level of 1.0 parts per billion (ppb) considered safe, he said.

“Folks at our plant think it’s likely the Toledo problem resulted from a false positive test,” Beazley, a former Lucas County administrator, said Sept. 29 after speaking at a monthly meeting of the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce in Oregon. The topic of his talk was the Oregon Water Treatment Plant.

The state changed the testing protocol used at the treatment plants the morning of Aug. 2, Beazley said.

That morning a high level of microcystin was detected in the water at Toledo’s Collins Park Water Treatment Plant, which triggered the do-not-drink advisory. Microcystin is the toxin released by blue-green algae that forms in Lake Erie.

It wasn’t a decrepit Collins Park Water Treatment facility that caused the water crisis, but simply a reading that would have been considered normal had the EPA not changed its testing protocol, Beazley said.

Also, water that tests high in pH levels can also give a false positive reading, he said.

Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian previously told Toledo Free Press his city has an advantage over Toledo because it handles only about 1/12 the volume of water that Toledo’s water plant does. He compared it to cleaning a MINI Cooper versus cleaning a bus after driving it through mud.

“It’s a little more than luck,” he said. “But our job is a little easier than theirs.”

Despite coming through Toledo’s water crisis “unscathed,” Oregon has met with faculty at the University of Toledo, members of the Ohio EPA and area legislators since the water crisis to make sure they are doing everything they can to ensure the best water possible.

“We don’t think we can afford to get this wrong long-term,” Beazley said. “Oregon will stay ahead of this.”

Oregon adjusts its water treatment process all the time, he said, trying to find the most effective means of killing microcystin and other unwanted substances in the water.

Currently, they are looking into three potential technologies to add to their water treatment process: dissolved air flotation, ozone or granulated carbon alternatives.

“We might choose some combinations,” Beazley said. “We’re running tests on them right now and we’re looking to make a decision on this in the coming months and will take prompt action.”

Depending on which technologies they choose, the city will upgrade its plant accordingly, which will cost millions of dollars, he said.

Beazley is concerned that Oregon might be a candidate for a false positive because of the high levels of pH that typically  found in the water system, he said.

“Treated water in this region has a high pH-level and literature in the field says that when you have a higher pH level that the type of testing we use cam become unreliable and generate false positives.”

Stacy Weber, public information officer for Mayor D. Michael Collins, wrote in an Oct. 1 email to Toledo Free Press, “There is no scientific evidence to prove or disprove the existence of a false positive. We worked closely with the EPA throughout the Do Not Drink advisory to ensure that decisions were made with public safety and health in mind. Our current testing and sampling procedures, as agreed upon with the EPA, are now being used statewide and we are confident in the results.”

In the meantime, Oregon has asked the state for consistent testing guidelines.

“Oregon’s team is interested in a long-term, consistent testing protocol,” Beazley said. “Getting it right is important to Oregon.”

Beazley joined the City of Oregon as administrator in March 2010. He has served for more than 25 years in leadership positions in local government and public policy, most recently as Lucas County administrator.

“Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop for anybody.”

— Stephen Chbosky, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”

Life doesn’t stop for anybody, and neither does news, nor the industry that covers it. Things are changing at Toledo Free Press, and while that change may initially seem unnerving, it will ultimately be a chance to reflect, refresh and reinvigorate our publication.

Sarah Ottney

Sarah Ottney

After 10 years at the helm, our first and to this point only Editor in Chief is moving on. Michael S. Miller will provide details next week; my job is to introduce our new Editor in Chief, Sarah Ottney.

It was great timing that Sarah was named one of Toledo’s 20 Under 40 leaders on Sept. 30. She is a serious journalist with the enthusiasm for Toledo, heart for philanthropy and mind for news that has characterized Toledo Free Press for 10 years.

Born in Toledo, Ottney graduated as salutatorian of Oak Harbor High School and majored in English and journalism at Ohio Wesleyan University. She served as editor of Ohio Wesleyan’s weekly student newspaper and interned at New York City book publisher Soho Press.

Ottney worked at the daily South Dakota newspaper Aberdeen American News for three years as a reporter and copy editor. She moved back to Ohio for a year of AmeriCorps VISTA service in Toledo with the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks.

Miller hired her at Toledo Free Press in 2010 as a staff writer. She was promoted to Special Sections Editor in 2011 and currently serves as Managing Editor. You have read her work as she reported for Toledo Free Press on assignments from New York City, Washington, D.C., and Germany.

Her awards — in addition to 20 Under 40 — include 2014 Public Children Services Association of Ohio Journalist of the Year. She was also recently honored for Best Arts Profile (2013), Special Section (2013) and Newsmaker Profile (2014) by the Ohio Society of Professional Journalists, competing against writers from the state’s daily newspapers.

She is a graduate of Leadership Toledo’s Class of 2014 and currently serves as volunteer advisory board member for Toledo Streets newspaper. She has previously volunteered with 1Matters, Food for Thought and Toledo-Lucas County Public Library’s Read for Literacy.

Miller has told me, “The tough job isn’t replacing me; Sarah has that covered. The tough part for Sarah will be replacing Sarah.”

We are working on that. But for this week, please join me in welcoming Ottney as Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief and wish her many years of successful news-breaking service. Miller set a very specific tone and defined our first 10 years; now, Ottney has an opportunity to set a series of new traditions.

Review: ‘Gone Girl’ is a thrill ride with unpredictable twists and turns

By
Toledo Free Press

Be warned: There are moments in David Fincher’s “Gone Girl” that will make audiences lose their minds and grasp their armrests.

The best way to describe Fincher’s latest film is as a thrill ride. As soon as audiences anticipate the plot heading in a certain direction, it swerves swiftly the other way.

Up and down, over and around. This is a thrill and a heck of a mystery. And some scenes may not be for the faint of heart.

.

The opening sequence of “Gone Girl” features three-second shots around town as a haunting score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross builds.

The scene of the crime never sounded so eerie.

Official poster.

A score from this same Oscar-winning duo helped elevate Fincher’s “The Social Network” to precision and evoked a similar feeling of suspense.

But with “Gone Girl,” this is suspense on a whole new level.

Telling audiences who plan to see this movie to hold on to their seats may not be enough. They may need a helmet and kneepads.

The movie, adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by Gillian Flynn, follows Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) whose wife Amy, played with cunning perfection by Rosamund Pike, comes up missing on the couple’s fifth wedding anniversary.

Throughout the 149-minute film, audiences are given glimpses at what may or may not have happened to Amy. As curiosity and attention from neighbors and then the country builds, the details of exactly how Amy disappeared unravel like the layers of an onion. But what is revealed is something remarkably unpredictable — no spoilers here.

Also along for the ride in the film is Detective Rhonda Boney (Kim Dickens), who helps drive the drama forward. Attorney Tanner Bolt (Tyler Perry) and Nancy Grace-like anchor Ellen Abbott (Missi Pyle) add life and depraved yet realistic humor to the story. Carrie Coon also delivers a strong performance as Nick’s twin sister Margo.

.

With such a list of impressive performances, “Gone Girl” almost has it all.

The story falls short in the denouement however, by attempting to wrap everything up with a nice red bow and unnecessarily speeding up a calculatingly deliberate pace.

But the experience along the way is definitely worth the ride. Just grab a helmet.

Nonprofit board fair scheduled for Oct. 23

An event that will connect young professionals with area organizations looking for board members is set for 5:30-7:30 p.m. Oct. 23. at The Toledo Club, 235 14th St.

The free Board Fair: Engage, Inspire, & Encourage event is back for a second year and is hosted by 20 Under 40, EPIC Toledo and Leadership Toledo. Sponsors are Columbia Gas of Ohio and The Andersons.

The event is about bringing young professionals and community members into a room with nonprofits looking to fill seats on their boards, said organizer Sara Swisher of EPIC Toledo.

Event organizers are trying to meet the need for strong leadership in the nonprofit community while providing participants with a way to harness personal development. Many of the attendees have never served on a board before and need to learn the steps necessary to becoming a board member, Swisher said.

To help the young professionals, Hylant’s Sara Best, formerly of Aly Sterling Philanthropy, will present “Millennials and Boomers in the Board Room.” The 20-minute pres-entation will be given at 6 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. Light appetizers and a cash bar will also be provided.

“This is a way for young professionals who are looking for a way to get involved in the community — this is their one-stop shop,” Swisher said. “We had 130 attendees last year and we’re expecting more than that this year,” she said. “Directors from nonprofits and board members will all be there ready to meet our young professionals and community members who show up and want to learn more about nonprofits and their mission. Hopefully through that we’ll have made connections between board members and the community.”

Among the nonprofits represented will be Boys & Girls Club of Toledo, Heartbeat of Toledo, Toledo Day Nursery, Lott Industries, Community Shares Northwest Ohio, Kidney Foundation of Northwest Ohio, Hannah’s Socks, MLK Kitchen for the Poor, Family House, Cherry Street Mission, Serenity Farms, Partners in Education, Make-A-Wish and the Autism Society. Attendees can register at www.epictoledo.com.
