Charlie Trotter redefined fine dining, dies at 54By J.M. HIRSCH and CARYN ROUSSEAU
The Associated Press | November 06,2013ap Photo-Mag Out
In this Dec. 30, 2011 photo, renowned chef Charlie Trotter poses for a photo in the dining room of his restaurant in Chicago. Trotter died Tuesday at 54. He helped redefine what fine dining was, but never attended culinary school.CHICAGO With a culinary style he likened to improvisational jazz, Charlie Trotter changed the way Americans view fine dining, pushing himself, his staff, his food and even his diners to limits rarely seen in an American restaurant. Yet it was his reluctance to move beyond those limits that may have defined the last years of his life.
Trotter, 54, died Tuesday, a year after closing his namesake Chicago restaurant that was credited with putting his city at the vanguard of the food world and training dozens of the nations top chefs, including Grant Achatz and Graham Elliot.
Paramedics were called around 10 a.m. to Trotters Lincoln Park home, where they found him unresponsive. An ambulance crew transported Trotter to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was declared dead after unsuccessful attempts to revive him, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said. An autopsy was planned for Wednesday.
Trotter was hospitalized in New York City this summer after having a seizure, close family friend and early Trotter mentor Norman Van Aken said Tuesday. Van Aken said he didnt know what caused the seizure.
For decades, Trotters name was synonymous with cutting-edge cuisine. He earned 10 James Beard Awards, wrote 10 cookbooks and in 1999 hosted his own public television series, The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter.
It was the beginning of the notion that America could have a real haute cuisine on par with Europe, said Anthony Bourdain. That was what Charlie did.
Yet Trotter never went to culinary school. He grew up in the northern Chicago suburb of Wilmette and majored in political science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. But an inspiring meal several years earlier had planted the desire to cook.
After graduation, he created a de facto apprenticeship, landing his first job at a restaurant in Chicagos North Shore area called Sinclairs, where he worked under now well-known chefs such as Van Aken and Carrie Nahabedian.
From there Trotter moved to restaurants in Florida, San Francisco and France, all the while eating widely and reading cookbooks voraciously. When he returned to the U.S. and with financial backing from his family he purchased a Victorian house in Chicago and opened Charlie Trotters in it in 1987.
His restaurant shaped the world of food, said Dana Cowin, editor-in-chief of Food & Wine magazine. He was so innovative and focused and intense and really brilliant. When he opened Charlie Trotter he was so original.
Trotters food was grounded in classical French technique, but blended seamlessly with Asian influences. He believed fervently in the power of simplicity and clean cooking, turning to simple vegetable purees and stocks rather than heavy sauces to deliver standup flavor in menus that changed daily.
He was a part of bringing in unusual ingredients and really scouring the world for ingredients that you never tasted before, said fellow Chicago restaurateur Rick Bayless. He was really on that forefront of creating the modern tasting menu.
He also was an early advocate of using seasonal and organic ingredients, as well as sustainably raised or caught meat and seafood.
Charlie was a visionary, an unbelievable chef that brought American cuisine to new heights, Emeril Lagasse, a close friend of Trotters, said in an email. We have lost a tremendous human being and an incredible chef and restaurateur.
Trotter was gruff, exacting, demanding and a culinary genius. And for years, the restaurant was considered one of the best in the nation, earning two Michelin stars the first year the guide rated Chicago restaurants.
He also was giving. He created a charitable group that not only awarded culinary scholarships, but also brought disadvantaged children to his restaurant every week to teach them about fine dining.
But in time, the food world caught up with him. And food culture changed, with celebrity often trumping skill. It was a world to which he adapted poorly.
The last few times I saw him were at food and wine festivals where people didnt recognize him. People did not acknowledge him for his incredibly important place in history, said Bourdain. Back in Charlies day, it was really the merit system. Being a great chef was enough. You didnt have to be lovable.
Meanwhile, chefs such as Achatz of award-winning Chicago restaurants Alinea and Next became so avant-garde, Trotters menus seem almost dated. And the very organic and seasonal philosophies hed spearheaded had become commonplace.
In 2012 and in keeping with his reputation for bold, unexpected moves Trotter closed his iconic 120-seat restaurant. His plan? Return to college to study philosophy.
The one thing it will do for me is let me wipe a certain slate clean. And while Im studying and reading and applying myself to something else, if I decide to come back to the restaurant world, I think Im going to bring a different perspective, he told The Associated Press in an interview last year.
My hope is to really learn how to think very differently on the whole thing, he said.
Whats the worst that could happen? Lifes too short. You may be on this planet for 80 years at best or who knows, but you cant just pedal around and do the same thing forever, he said.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Yes, your mutual fund may own some Greek stocks.

East Bend Elementary students found themselves trying to escape from a smoky house using fire skills instilled in them throughout the years on Oct. 10.
The East Bend Volunteer Fire Department held its annual fire safety event for East Bend Elementary students throughout the day.
"The purpose of this program is to instill into them the fire safety," said Ronnie Boles, East Bend Volunteer Fire Department Fire Chief. "Most of these kids have been through this program ever since pre-school and we run every grade level through every year."
Depending on their grade level, students were given a tour of the fire department starting with the fire truck, then the turnout gear that every fire fighter must wear, a video on the fires that East Bend fire fighters have found themselves in and finally the smoke house.
The smoke house is a mobile trailer that simulates a house for the students. In each room fire fighters talk with children about potential fire hazards that they may find around their house and how to prevent them if they see them. The tour takes them through a living room setting, a kitchen setting and a bedroom setting.
"The fire safety trailer is to show them different rooms and things that they can look for to prevent stuff," Boles said. "If they can prevent it before it gets started then that is huge for us."
First grade and forward were allowed to participate in the smoke room which simulates a fire situation and has the children practicing an escape.
"With the pre-school classes we start out real basic," Boles said. "We'll go through some basic things that we feel like that they can absorb. We don't put them through any smoke or any situations that would make them really nervous. As they get older we add more to it.'
Boles said that the program continues to go more in depth as the kids get older. He says that they try to incorporate things the students may be learning in the classroom and tie it back to what fire fighters do in their job.
"We try to sprinkle in stuff that interests them along with the education," Boles said. "As the kids get older they need to learn more about math and reading and those kinds of things. We try to teach them that just to be a fireman you have to learn to read and you have to learn math. We hope that makes them more interested to learn about those things in the classroom. We ask them questions and we let them respond back to us and then we know how far in depth we need to go with it."
Boles said that he has the benefit of having a child who is a student at East Bend Elementary and so he goes to him on guidance for what the kids want to learn and what activities would be most interesting to them.
"I pick his brain a little bit to see what they want to see," Boles said. "This is the educational part that I want them to have. When I ask him what he would want to see he always tells me things like the trucks, our gear and that they want to see what our job is. Those are the things that interest them."
Boles said that East Bend shares its fires safety smoke house with other schools in the area once they complete their program at East Bend. The trailer was purchased used seven years ago. Today they can take it to surrounding fire departments and allow them to train their local students in fire safety.
"When we purchased it we took it to these other locations and we trained the other fire departments with it so that we don't have to be there," Boles said. "We can just drop it off and leave it. That way the kids at Forbush Elementary School are seeing the guys from the Forbush Fire Department. They can start putting names with faces and start getting to know each other."
Boles said that this year's fire safety theme is "know two ways out." The theme is decided each year by the National Fire Protection Agency.
"We base a lot of our education on what theme they decide to set," Boles said. "They take the data from when the fire departments file reports and they compile a report for the whole nation and they see where the focus needs to be based on what kind of calls the departments have been responding to the most."
Boles said that the fire safety event would not be possible without the help of his volunteers who are dedicated to giving their time to make sure that children and their family are safer.
"Every one of these guys have jobs that they had to take a vacation day from in order to be here," Boles said. "We couldn't hold this event without these guys who are willing to give their time. We have a really great group of volunteers here."

Japanese Struggling to Find Food and Water in Disaster Area
Photo: AFP / Philippe Lopez
VOA reporters managed to travel to Fukushima by plane, but many airports, roads and railways remain flooded or damaged throughout Japan.
Herman says that because of this, people are scrambling to find basic necessities, even in inland areas such as Fukushima. "People are just trying to find clean water. Food supplies are running out. In the convenience stores, there are no rice balls left. There is no bottled water left. We are facing a really serious situation in the days ahead for these people that are living in areas that were only moderately damaged," he said.
Overall, analysts say Japan could have fared much worse in the disaster.
Tokyo has invested billions of dollars into making the country as earthquake-proof as possible. Architects specially design high-rise buildings to flex in a quake. Tsunami warning signs and large seawalls line the Japanese coast. Even schoolchildren practice drills on what to do during an earthquake.
However in the end, analysts say that no amount of human preparedness is foolproof against the power of nature.

Black Blade: Prepping obviously wouldn't have helped everybody, but many would have been much better off if they did prep with stored food, water and basic necessities. Now they wait in line at empty stores thirsty and starving. We keep several months to several years worth of nonperishable goods for emergencies. Just common sense.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
I work for the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury, which was destroyed during Tropical Storm Irene. The staff and the patients were calm and focused during the evacuation. Since then, the patients and staff have been scattered from one end of the state to the other – Springfield, Brattleboro, Burlington, Williamstown and more. It has been a hard struggle for both the staff and patients over the past year. Staff who live in Central Vermont were removed from their homes. People in crisis had nowhere to turn.
It took time before the politicians and the powers that be realized that we are a necessity for the state of Vermont. There were many homeless, some suicides over the past year in Vermont. We were a safe haven for many with mental illness. We are a necessity for the legal system when it comes to housing offenders who don't belong in prison. We are a necessity for alleged offenders who need competency hearings who should not be in prison. We were there for families that did not know what to do with their loved ones in times of severe mental crisis or violence.
I truly hope that Patrick Flood and Governor Shumlin with move forward with speed on replacing the hospital in Central Vermont, bringing the staff home to their families and providing the necessary care that has been missing since Tropical Storm Irene. Personally, I was transitioning from 20 years in Waitsfield to Montpelier, my belongings were in storage in Waterbury – a storage that was flooded during the storm. I had to throw out most everything but all that is/was replaceable. Human lives and humane care is not.

Antlers Public Schools, like most public schools, is in the middle of state testing. Many of us remember these tests as Achievement tests. However, the stakes from the results of these tests are higher than we have ever seen.
For example, twelfth graders will be the first class to have to pass 4 of 7 EOIs (End of Instruction) tests in order to graduate. Progress for each student will now be measured in order to gain a consistent grade for our schools with the new A-F grading system.
Lastly, the PASS standards will soon be replaced by Common Core standards for students to master. This will help with uniform national standards among states, instead of having different standards for each grade level among states. Again, another example of the changing climate for public education, as new laws, policies, and objectives are being enacted.
On a different note, many end-of-year activities have been scheduled. We encourage our parents, supporters of these programs, and community to join in the fun as we close out these programs with banquets, celebrations and awards.
Please contact our offices or check the website for dates and times.
Lastly, with the end of the school year comes many exciting times for our students in the way of field trips, ballgames, and planning family summer vacations. With this said, we all want to end this school year on a strong note. This means being at school on time, eager to learn, and actively engaged in all classes.
From administration and staff at Antlers Public Schools, we appreciate the support you have given and want to remind all stakeholders to finish this school year in a positive way!

Penn neuro-oncologists provide evaluation, diagnosis and treatment for patients with benign and malignant brain and spinal cord tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). Our team includes recognized leaders in the treatment of rare and complex neurologic cancers and all neurologic complications associated with cancer.
Types of Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors
The Penn neuro-oncology team treats all types of brain and spinal cord tumors including:
- Gliomas
- Astrocytoma
- Glioblastoma
- Oligodendroglioma
- Ependymoma
- Meningioma
- Primary central nervous system lymphoma
Neurologic Complications of Cancer
Patients with cancer may have neurological complications including:
- Brain, spinal cord or nerve problems caused by metabolic and nutritional disorders
- Infections of the brain or the tissue covering the brain (meninges) in patients with cancer
- Long-term side effects of cancer treatment
- Metastasis to brain, spinal cord, spinal fluid or nerves
- Stroke caused by blood disorders such as increased tendency to form blood clots or to hemorrhage
- Side effects of treatment such as surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or other medications
Paraneoplastic Syndrome
Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes are a diverse group of neurologic disorders that occur in patients with cancer and can affect any part of the nervous system.
Paraneoplastic syndromes often develop specific serum or spinal fluid antibodies. Detection of these antibodies indicates the patient's symptoms may be due to a tumor and may be treatable with immunosuppressive drugs as well as therapy directed at the primary tumor. Penn neuro-oncologists are known as leaders in the treatment of these rare conditions that include:
- Lambert-Eaton syndrome
- Limbic encephalitis
- Myasthenia gravis
- NMDA receptor encephalitis
- Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration
- Stiff-person syndrome
Diagnosing Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors
Ultimately, a definitive diagnosis of a brain or spinal cord tumor is done through a biopsy of tumor tissue. Depending upon whether or not a patient is a candidate, neuro-surgeons may perform surgery to take out as much of the tumor as can be safely removed.
To find the location of tumors, the most advanced diagnostic imaging techniques are utilized, including:
- Computerized tomography (CT)
- High resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Positron emission tomography (PET)
Treating Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors
The Penn Neuro-oncology Program uses a multidisciplinary approach to care working collaboratively with other subspecialties within Penn Neurology and other disciplines across Penn Medicine. Specialists come together to discuss patient cases in meetings called tumor boards. Our neuro-oncology tumor board meets once a week. The board works together to create treatment plans that meet the unique needs of each patient.
We work with subspecialists from:
- Neuropathology
- Neuro-psychiatry
- Neuroradiology
- Neurosurgery
- Oncology
- Radiation oncology
- Rehabilitation medicine
- Social work
Our neurologists implement evidence-based treatments for rare and complicated tumors and related conditions. Treatment options offered include:
- Clinical trials involving investigational drugs, devices, and biological therapies including vaccines and antiangiogenic therapies
- Conventional radiation therapy
- Gamma Knife® (Radiosurgery) — a powerful, non-invasive, blade-free surgery used to shrink or even destroy tumor tissue
- Surgery
- Standard chemotherapy
Support Services for People with Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors
A brain or spinal cord tumor diagnosis can be frightening and overwhelming for patients, families and caregivers. At Penn, we offer support services to help you and your family cope through this difficult time.
- At-home services
Our at-home services focus on meeting the health needs of homebound cancer patients and their families. These services enable cancer patients to maintain personal dignity and independence while receiving a variety of clinical and support services. This personalized approach actively encourages family involvement in a patient's case. Our nurses, social workers, dietitians, home health aides and specially trained volunteers are available to assist you at home. The home care staff works under the direction of your personal doctor who remains in charge of your medical care.
- Counseling
The Neuro-oncology Program has a full-time social worker dedicated to providing support and assistance to you and your family. We provide counseling and are available to meet with you privately or in family sessions. Whenever possible, these sessions can be scheduled to coincide with doctor visits.
- Support groups
The Abramson Cancer Center has one of the largest and longest-running brain tumor support groups in the region. Patients and families join once a month for two hours to discuss common issues and share experiences. It is a wonderful opportunity to gain support and knowledge while meeting others facing similar situations and feelings. The group also conducts open meetings for general support and provides opportunities for patient and family networking.
Neuro-oncology Research
Clinicians and scientists at the University of Pennsylvania are involved in a large variety of research endeavors aimed at understanding the basic biology of glial tumors. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) at The National Institutes of Health (NIH), the American Cancer Society, the Department of Veteran Affairs, and the Brain Tumor Society are among several organizations that have supported this important research.
Current research endeavors include:
- Gene imaging
- Gene transfer
- Signal transduction
- Tumor hypoxia

Korean Movie Stars of My Youth
Well, how can we have a Korean Forum with out The Best Korean Kickers in Chinese/Korean Cinema?
I hated kicking when I first started watching CMA movies. Any movie with excessive kicking I'd immediately turn off. Seriously, I still haven't watched all of "When Tae Kwon Do strikes."After years of watching "shapes" one day, I stumbled on to this movie at a crap-hole video store in the hood.
Dragon Claws aka Five Pattern Dragon Claws:
YouTube - 5 Pattern Dragon Claws - FIGHT
OMG the "Shapes" the "Shapes." In this movie you see, Dragon, Phoenix Eye, Tiger, Snake, Crane, Eagle Claw, Mantis, Buddha Fist, and weapons. Oh yeah and kicking. *blech* Plus, the movie is only an hour and twenty minutes long. Anyway, as I watched the movie we had the Temple, we had Monks and we had a Bad guy. This bad guy was alright nothing special.
Then this scene occurred.
YouTube - 5 Pattern Dragon Claws - (HWANG JANG LEE)
I love one handed fighting no matter how unrealistic.
SO, I took a little notice but still, Dragoon Lee was the ****. I was thoroughly enjoying the movie because, it had minimal plot and a ton of fights. I was content.
Then, this fight occurred and I was done. Kicking had just jumped from my least favorite part in Movies to a close 2nd.
YouTube - Five Pattern Dragon Claws
Unfortunately, that is the beginning middle and end fight scenes. So, you'll have to rent the movie yourself. Funny thing about that clips is the guy cuts out his kicks, in that video.
This was my first introduction to Hwang Jang Lee. Before you say it, no I didn't like Jackie Chan at first because, I saw three of his horrible movies back to back.
He does his tripple front kick, the hook kick choke, and he kicked from angles I thought impossible and you can tell it was real. This is what always put him at the top of my kickers list.
Then I stumbled across this tape about 9 years ago:
YouTube - The Art of High Impact Kicking 3-8
After watching this tape, I knew he was a Martial Artists. He was always my favorite but, now I had a confirmed my respect for Hwang Jang Lee.

i have "the art of high impact kicking" which is supposed to be an instructional but is shot more like a bad kung fu flick.
it has some awesome and totally ridiculous kicks in it though
YouTube - The Art of High-Impact Kicking"Face punches are an essential character building part of a martial art. You don't truly love your children unless you allow them to get punched in the face." - chi-conspiricy
"When I was a little boy, I had a sailor suit, but it didn't mean I was in the Navy." - Mtripp on the subject of a 5 year old karate black belt
"Without actual qualifications to be a Zen teacher, your instructor is just another roundeye raping Asian culture for a buck." - Errant108
"Seriously, who gives a **** what you or Errant think? You're Asian males, everyone just ignores you, unless you're in a krotty movie." - new2bjj
I love that video. Sorry some f them were ridiculous but, his kick mechanics were sound. Yes, I know everyone hates chambered kicks but, if used/set up correctly they can be devastating.
Problem is it has been destroyed by point fighting.
Anyway, yes I know there are other real Martial Artists. I'm just talking about ones that changed my ideas of kicking in movies.

The Blaugrana president is a big fan of the Belgium international, who is currently in his third season on loan with Atletico Madrid.
The 21-year-old has impressed during his time in Spain, which has led to suggestions he is being ear-marked as Valdes' replacement in the summer.
"He is a great goalkeeper, he is very good and I like him a lot," Rosell told reporters.
Courtois is still to feature for Chelsea following his £5million move from Genk in June 2011, with Petr Cech still the No.1 at Stamford Bridge.
Despite going public with his views on Courtois, the Barca supremo still hopes that he can persuade Valdes to sign a new contract, despite him stating his time at the club is coming to a close.
"Up until the last moment we will try to keep Valdes at Barca, but it will be difficult," Rosell continued.

DA: No charges in Huerta's death
Durham County District Attorney Leon Stanback said Tuesday he won't seek criminal charges in the death of Jesus Huerta, the teen who died of a gunshot wound in police custody.
Huerta, 17, was found dead in November while handcuffed in the back of a police cruiser from what investigators said was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police picked him up after family members reported him missing.
Stanback, in a rare press conference outside the Durham County Courthouse, said he had reviewed complete reports from the State Bureau of Investigation, chief medical examiner and the state crime lab, and physical evidence and forensic photographs pertaining to the teen's death.
"[I have] found that there is not probable cause to charge a crime in Jesus Huerta's death," Stanback said in a press release he read to reporters.
He said Huerta died "of a close-range gunshot wound which grazed his lower lip and perforated his skull while in the custody of the Durham city police department."
Stanback's decision appears to close the door on possible criminal charges against police. But the Durham Police Department is still doing an internal investigation that could result in disciplinary action against Officer Samuel Duncan.
Meanwhile, Durham attorney Alex Charns, who represents the Huerta family, declined to comment on Stanback's decision. But Charns faulted the SBI for what he said was a broken promise to consult the Huerta family "about what they might contribute before finishing its report."
"The SBI failed to return a phone call about the investigation," Charns said. "Would an SBI agent fail to return the phone call from the chief of police? Would an agent fail to ask the chief if he had anything to add to the report? Of course, what we had to say or ask may not have made any difference."
Charns said he's doing his own investigation.
"That is often the case in civil liberties and civil rights matters, particularly involving the police," he said. "Years often go by before the truth is discovered."
Stanback said his office planned to give a copy of the SBI findings to Charns on Tuesday afternoon.
"There was an investigative avenue that we wanted pursued," Charns said in an email before he got the SBI report. "Until I see the report, I cannot know for certain whether this was done. It is something that we are investigating."
Asked if the SBI report contained any surprises, Stanback said: "I can't say there were any surprises. I can say it was very informative." He declined to elaborate.
Stanback also was asked if he believed that Duncan acted appropriately.
"Well, you know, I have to leave that up to the Police Department," he said. "They have their standards and procedures, but we didn't find any violation of any criminal laws in what he did."
Huerta's shooting was the third Durham police officer-involved gunshot death last year. It has ignited demonstrations and calls for new leadership in the Police Department.
City Manager Tom Bonfield on Tuesday called on the Police Department to finish its internal affairs report "as quickly as possible," and said he would continue to work with City Council "to determine what aspects of the IA report should be made public to maintain confidence and trust in the Police Department."

'Holiday Wishes' CD benefits Make-A-WishWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
Pat Dailey's "River of Stars" is not a Christmas song, yet it lends its title to this year's collection of local holiday music benefiting Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The "star" connection is obvious. Make-A-Wish uses a bright blue star as its logo. Toledo Free Press uses a star in its masthead (a tribute to the owner's connections to Texas). With two CDs containing 44 tracks, the river of local music stars is well represented. And the star is a shining symbol for the wish kids and families that benefit from the organization's great work.
The song's connection to Christmas is not as obvious.
This is the second year for the "Holiday Wishes" project and the second year Dailey and his manager Tom Brady have generously contributed a track. Last year's Dailey song, "Here Comes The Cold," was a natural fit. Another of his few winter-themed tracks, "Here In The North," is one I hope to include next year. When I heard "River of Stars," from Dailey's "Squeaky Clean" collection, it immediately struck me as a perfect choice to set the tone for this year's collection.
It begins with a light, sparkling twinkle of sounds that segue into gentle guitar. The first words Dailey sings may not have been written to evoke Christmas, but they certainly serve as a grand place to begin this year's musical journey through the holidays: "I remember a night, so long ago/under a river of stars," Dailey sings, with all the confidence of a master storyteller. And while Dailey may have envisioned Put-in-Bay harbor when he wrote the lyrics, they could just as easily describe a special night in the Bethlehem sky.
The song seems to be about an earthly relationship, but it culminates in imagery that clearly paints a picture of faith: "And so I row, row, row my boat once more/Until I find you waiting on a distant shore/With outstretched arms and upturned hands/You lead me into the harbor and back to the sand."
It is a spiritual image of hope and comfort that captures the feeling of Christmas without needing a single direct word.
Musical treasures
There are many surprises and musical treasures on this year's CDs. Jon Hendricks contributes an original song, "The Gift," that sounds as if it could be found on a Frank Sinatra holiday CD. Listening to the track for the first time with Dave Mariasy at Audio Matrix Recording Studio was transporting. Music is mostly listened to through tiny earbuds, computer speakers or car stereos. To listen to Hendricks and a single piano through Mariasy's high-tech studio speakers was akin to hearing music for the first time. It was a revelation. Hendricks' voice simultaneously weaves tensile strength with an aching fragility.
A new tradition
For Christmas 2011, Toledo Free Press produced "Holiday Wishes," a CD of holiday songs performed by Northwest Ohio musicians. The CD was a 25-track compilation and raised more than $25,000 for Make-A-Wish. It was underwritten by Toledo Transmission and UAW Local 14, so every dollar raised, through sales at Panera Bread locations, went directly to Make-A-Wish.
Although Toledo Free Press had produced two previous CDs, one collecting historical recordings and one from a Toledo songwriting contest, neither approached the scale or complexity of "Holiday Wishes."
The 2011 CD included contributions from such Northwest Ohio stalwarts as Dailey, Jamie Farr, Mannheim Steamroller, Sheri LaFontaine, Candice Coleman, the Toledo Symphony Orchestra, Crystal Bowersox and Alyson Stoner. It also featured new recordings from Kerry Patrick Clark, Jeff Stewart, Kyle White, Ramona Collins, TAPESTRY, Chrys Peterson and Hepcat Revival, Voodoo Libido, Mighty Wyte and Jameil Aossey, among several others.
With tremendous media support from FOX Toledo, WPOS, 101.5 The River and many of our media friends, the CD sold out and even before 2012 started, we were thinking about a second volume.
Rather than start in late July, as we did in 2011, the 2012 compilation process started in January. Lexi Staples gave us a copy of a track her father, the late radio personality Dennis Staples, recorded of Dr. Seuss' "How The Grinch Stole Christmas!" That required tracking down permission from Random House Publishing, Warner Bros. Studios and the estate of Dr. Seuss. With all those rights now granted, it is a great honor to include that track on this year's CD.
Another late performer is remembered as the Johnny Knorr Orchestra, led by Johnny's son, Jerry, plays "Auld Lang Syne" for the 2012 CD. Johnny died in August 2011.
LaFontaine has allowed us to include "Toledo, My Hometown" on this year's collection. It is a contribution that raises the bar for all the participating artists. "Toledo My Hometown" is a seasonal staple on The River, and it is an honor to have it on this year's CD. The tune has added poignancy as we wish LaFontaine well in her new city of Nashville, Tenn.
There are several artists returning from last year. Stewart and White perform a revelatory version of John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War is Over)." The great Chip Davis allowed us to use Mannheim Steamroller's "Fum Fum Fum." Coleman did double duty, singing "Santa Baby" with Chris Brown's band and "Merry Christmas Baby" with Buck69. Peterson and our friends in Hepcat Revival cover Harry Connick Jr.'s "Pray On Christmas." Voodoo Libido, Skoobie Snaks and The Wanna Bees all contribute rocking tracks. The Polka Floyd Show took "Run Like Hell" from Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" and created a mashup that has already attracted regional attention.
VH1 favorite Tatiana Owens wrote and recorded a stunning new song, "Winter Holidays," that could be played alongside any modern classic.
Local media veterans Jerry Anderson, Fred LeFebvre, Mary Beth Zolik and Rick Woodell recorded dynamic readings on par with Farr's interpretation of "A Visit From St. Nicholas" from last year. We wish Zolik a speedy recovery as she undergoes treatment for cancer.
This year's CD will include a number of exciting new artists, from young country singers such as Connor Rose to emerging rockers like The Sanderlings.
Not that every wish comes true; a few notable Toledo entertainers did not bother to respond to requests, even with a "no." The Danny Thomas estate declined permission for a track, and Sony Legacy would not provide gratis rights to a Teresa Brewer track we were hoping to include.
But even with those very few disappointments, we still had so many quality submissions we had to start saving them for 2013. Great tracks by Arctic Clam, Krystal Monique, Mitch Kahl, Tim Ellis, Andrew Z's Morning Crew and a few others are waiting in the wings.
The MVPs
The best news for the project was the return of three people who are behind the scenes, but integral to the process; indeed, without them it would not have happened last year and would not happen this year. Christopher Stoll, engineer at Audioflare Productions at Zeta Recording Studios, donated studio time and his finely attuned ears to the project. He earned MVP status this year, recording tracks ranging from Irish folk to German choirs. Matt Feher engineered the CDs, ensuring the discs are produced to the highest standards. Larry Meyer navigates the legal and publishing issues to make sure every "T" is crossed and every "I" is dotted.
Special thank-yous this year go to GM Powertrain Toledo, UAW Local 14, WNWO, 101.5 The River, A&D Glass & Mirror, Levis Commons and Panera Bread. All proceeds will go directly to Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana to benefit children in the 21-county Northwest Ohio region.
Make-A-Wish development officer Ellie McManus is a dream to work with and is a constant inspiration and reminder of Make-A-Wish's mission. Toledo Free Press Sales Manager BJ Rahn has also been an invaluable help.
I am personally grateful to have strengthened some friendships and made new ones. I may never have met McManus, Clark or E.J. Wells without this project, and my life would be a bit dimmer without their creativity.
Summertime project
The project has also inspired an offshoot. For summer 2013, Toledo Free Press will produce a CD of upbeat summer party songs for the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio to use as a vehicle for summer safety information. If you are a local musician interested in getting your Beach Boys vibe on disc, contact me before we get too far into January.
Thank you again to every musician and person who donated their time and talent to this project. If you would like to see the recipients of your labor, join us at 6 p.m. Dec. 5 at The Blarney Event Center for our second annual "Holiday Wishes" benefit concert. There will be food, friends and a lot of smiling faces at the public event.
In the meantime, I am going to start working on convincing Ramona Collins to record "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" for the 2013 collection …

02.15.2012 – On the heels of the Monday announcement concerning the new program for WKA Speedway Pavement competitors, the most popular question was whether the August Grand National event at Chapel Hill Raceway in Humphrey, New York applied solely to drivers who were locked in by virtue of their victory in their respective Super Regionals.
While winners of Super Regionals will have certain perks by virtue of their successes prior to the Grand National, in order to build the Pavement program back up, divisionally and nationally, the Grand National event is open to ALL competitors, no matter what their status.
Additionally, drivers do not have to compete at a Divisional or Super Regional in order to compete at Chapel Hill as well. The event is open to any and all participants. If there is a class for you, then you are more than welcome to attend.
Competitors may also run more than one divisional. WKA is not making any demands of any competitors, other than you have to be a WKA member in order to compete, which is a standard at any WKA Sanctioned events.
The program is also open to any additional tracks that would like to sign up. Currently, there are 2 more northeastern tracks finalizing details, with potentially 2 more tracks in the northeast possibly interested. Cut off for track participation will be April 1.
More details regarding the new pavement program will be forthcoming.
