Pop Rocks Classic rocker takes the outdoor stage with Columbus Symphony By Stephan Reed

T
he 2014 Picnic with the Pops concert series will rock a little harder this year when the Legends of Classic Rock team up with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra on June 28. Lead by John Elefante, best known for his four-year stint as lead singer of Kansas, the five-piece band will perform some of rock’s unforgettable jams alongside the 70-piece orchestra.
“There’s nothing like that wall of sound behind you, especially coming from a symphonic background,” Elefante says. “It doesn’t take any of the rock edge away. It’s huge.” Concertgoers can expect to hear familiar songs, including Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir,” Aerosmith’s “Dream On,” Foreigner’s “Cold As Ice” and, of course, some classic Kansas tunes. 6
cityscene • June 2014
“‘Dust in the Wind’ is always fun,” Elefante says. “We do a different version in which all the chords are the same, but the instrumentation is orchestral-geared, with more of a Journey sound. The vocals and piano build to a fever pitch and the strings really kick in. It’s well-suited for not only just a band, but the orchestra.” Picnic with the Pops, which runs June 13-July 26 this year, takes place at Co-
lumbus Commons. The outdoor setting provides a new concert experience for orchestra regulars. “There’s something about the night air, the sonics, no echo off the walls and not being confined to the walls of an arena,” Elefante says. “When the weather is right, there’s nothing like an outdoor show.” Other acts on this season’s schedule include Ben Folds (“Rockin’ the Suburbs”), the O’Jays (“Love Train”) and Cirque Musica (a music/acrobatics hybrid). “There’s nothing the orchestra can’t do,” says Mike Stefiuk, symphony director of artistic planning. “They are very versatile and can accompany any act.” Events begin at 8 p.m. and each concert start out with a 30-45 minute solo performance from the orchestra. www.cityscenecolumbus.com
“This shows audiences who may not usually come to the concerts that this can be incredibly cool,” Stefiuk says. “We try to break down the barriers of the ‘elitist product.’” First-timers and seasoned symphony veterans alike make up the crowds at Picnic with the Pops. “We’ve been able to do a good job of building trust with our audience,” Stefiuk says. “They know it will be entertaining and high quality. They respond very well and have come to know the organization as being one that pushes the envelope and that’s something they’ve come to expect.” Tickets are available online at www.ticketmaster.com or by phone at 614-228-8600. “It’s all about the experience,” Stefiuk says. “There’s the great city skyline and a beautiful park. You can get the best of both worlds: a dose of light classical music and the orchestra, doing a chameleon-like change when they accompany internationally renowned artists.” cs Stephan Reed is an editorial associate.

Know When to Folds ‘em Alternative rocker, singer and songwriter Ben Folds will take the Bicentennial Pavilion stage June 21. And this won’t be Folds’ first time playing with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. “He’s the kind of guy who gets how an orchestra can be incorporated into his music,” Stefiuk says. “There’s a wry humor he brings to his songs and show. That’s appealing to our audiences.” Folds gained his fame in the late 1990s with his band Ben Folds Five. The group is best known for its 1997 album Whatever and Ever Amen, which contained the smash hit single “Brick” as well as “Battle of Who Could Care Less,” “Kate,” “One Angry Dwarf & 200 Solemn Faces” and “Song for the Dumped.” Folds later branched out on his own with his piano and released three studio albums – hitting the charts with “Rockin’ the Suburbs,” “Still Fighting it,” “Landed” and “You Don’t Know Me,” the latter a duet with Regina Spektor – before rejoining his old outfit. His signature sound meshes well with the symphony and allows for a revival of some of his classic songs, Stefiuk says. “What makes him successful is that he found a way to integrate orchestra into a show that’s all his,” Stefiuk says. “Some of these artists have a way of taking their old songs and making them sound new again with a 70-piece orchestra. There’s just so much you can do.” cityscene • June 2014

But Is it (Valuable) Art?
How to search for hints of a work of art’s value By Nen Lin Soo
A

After all, it’s worthwhile to know whether the dusty old oil painting unearthed from Aunt Bea’s attic is priceless or worthless. Context is crucial in determining the significance of a piece of art, regardless of whether it is a canvas painting or a piece of furniture, says Ricjard “Jeff” Jeffers, principal auctioneer and CEO of Delawarebased Garth’s Auctioneers & Appraisers. “We have to put things into context to understand the body of an artist’s work, to understand what makes This 1927 painting by Frank Tenney Johnson, estimated at $10,000-$20,000 the work that we’re holding in our hand good, better or by its owner, sold for almost $200,000 at Garth’s Auction House in 2009. best,” Jeffers says.

Health Takes a Holi Vacation is no reason to backslide on your fitness goals By Tracy Ingram
Y
ou’ve earned time off from work, you’ve made reservations and you’re prepared to take that well-deserved vacation. Only one thing plays in the back of your mind: “How can I keep weight off while on vacation?” What a relief it would be to focus not on weight, but on how to be healthy.
We’ve become so obsessed with weight, the latest fad diet and foods we won’t eat that we’ve lost sight of the fundamental basics of nutrition. Healthy nutrition begins with a positive attitude about one’s body. We all have different types of bodies, and we must first embrace who we are and what our strengths are, and love ourselves for how we are uniquely made. We must give ourselves permission to not compare ourselves to others, but remind ourselves daily that we are beautiful and loved. This reset of attitude will 10 cityscene • June 2014
start you on a positive path to approach food, exercise and health. If we love who we are first, we make choices in life that are good for us. We make choices based not on guilt or negative emotions, but on how to take care of our bodies and have a healthy future. You can keep weight off because you are positive and find inspiration to eat and live healthfully. While you are on vacation, take the time to be have a positive or inspirational thought each day, and adopt an “I am loved!” attitude. If you love yourself, the
question of weight drops away and the focus is on health. What do you need for health? Sleep is very important to health. People who sleep deeply and soundly trigger their metabolism to function optimally. That’s easy enough; make sure to get enough sleep while on vacation. We all need regular amounts of water to maintain hydration, so start your day and each meal with a full glass of water. Get up and get moving! Exercise every day. If you’re on the beach, take a walk or tread water instead of just lying there. View exercise as medicine to your health. Exercise can jump-start your metabolism, improve your heart health and strengthen your muscles and bones. Love, sleep, water and exercise – all commonsense stuff, but it can make a difference in overall health, even if only over a short period of time. Instead of thinking about what you can’t eat, let’s look at what you can eat while on vacation. • Start your day with protein and have protein at each meal. Protein provides nutrients important to healthy function of your body, and it will leave you more satisfied and less hungry throughout the day. • Add whole grains, nuts and high-fiber foods every day. Fill up on these types of foods and pass on white flour foods, such as white bread, as these convert to sugar in the body and leave you less full. • Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Keep in mind that a serving is about the amount that fits into your hand. Fruits and vegetables are packed with antioxidants and nutrients that help the body function at its best. www.cityscenecolumbus.com

• Add three servings of dairy each day. A serving is a glass of milk, a slice of cheese or a crumbled bit on your salad. Dairy has cell generative abilities. Some other healthful hints include things to do such as reading the ingredients on labels and eating foods that are all-natural. Don’t focus on calories; rather, focus on the ingredient list. If it’s full of dyes, preservatives and ingredients that are foreign to you, find a more natural alternative. Eat regularly and don’t skip meals. Eating stimulates your metabolism and energy, while fasting causes the body to store food as fat. Enjoy a variety of foods in moderation. Focus on taste and health rather than quantity. Now you’re feeling good and have a great start to focus on health even while on vacation. Loving yourself also means that you will want to avoid those things that zap your health. Drop those habits – overeating, fried foods, sweet drinks (including artificially sweetened drinks), processed foods, fast foods, white bread and overly salty foods. Keep sweets to a minimum and in moderation; just taste, don’t eat a full serving. With so many healthful foods, why poison yourself with foods that bring you down rather than build you up? Vacations can be a time to rejuvenate and reset your health goals. By keeping a healthy focus, you’ll find that weight will stay off, and you’ll come back recharged. cs Tracy Ingram is executive director of Healthy New Albany and a registered dietician.

Party on Wheels Mobile catering options bring the heat to you By Lisa Aurand
F
ood trucks have become familiar sights in Columbus in the last few years. The trucks, often brightly colored, are frequently stationed on street corners or in corporate parking lots to serve lunch to office workers. But catering private events makes up a big chunk of revenue for food trucks, says Tracy Studer, owner of the restaurant Explorers Club in Merion Village, which debuted its truck a year ago. Food trucks battle unpredictable weather and foot traffic. Catering events such as graduation parties, corporate events, rehearsal dinners and weddings means dates are booked in advance and money is guaranteed.
Skyward Grille

“I’m really focused on parties because that’s where the money seems to be, and it’s a little more reliable,” Studer says. So it’s a win for truck owners – and a win for the clients who book them. There are a host of upsides to choosing a truck to cater your next event. Portability might be the most obvious. “One of the biggest benefits is we can go just about anywhere and the food is served fresh and hot right there,” says Chad Shipman, director of operations for Pitabilites, which has two trucks and a third in the works. “A lot of catering companies have to make (the food) at their commissary and put some kind of heat under it to keep it warm. … We’re cooking everything to order right there.”
Skyward Grille, which has a fleet of carts and bills itself as the longest-serving mobile food business in the Columbus area, also touts the benefits of bringing the kitchen to the party. “It’s not like a restaurant dropping off pans of food that are premade,” says Skyward owner Mike Ratliff. “With our food carts, everything is custom made per order. Customers get to watch their food made right in front of them. It’s quality food, the freshest you can get.” Skyward’s carts have been on the streets of Columbus since 1987, and the business recently added a brick-andmortar location at the corner of Trabue Road and Riverside Drive. Mobile catering operations that also have another arm of the business have more flexibility in the type of food they can offer because unused ingredients can be repurposed later. The prime example of this: Giant Eagle Market District’s Foodie Truck, which has the buying power of a large, chain grocery store behind it. “One of the unique benefits of the Market District Foodie Truck is that we are able to create a menu that meets www.cityscenecolumbus.com

mer months, when it uses produce from the garden around the restaurant. Explorers Club smokes its own meat and even makes its own bacon. “It’s a lot of work. I have a lot higher food costs than most people. It’s not processed food; it’s not boxed food. We know (where it is) from the beginning to the end,” Studer says. Pitabilities menu is, perhaps predictably, focused on traditional gyros, but does branch out a bit. Guests at Cassie and Andrew McIntire's 2012 wedding in Upper Arlington place orders at the Pitabilities truck.
The Best We’ve Scene By Chuck Stein, CityScene CEO Rick Malir, co-founder and self-proclaimed “head pit boss” of City Barbeque, and I are longtime friends and, above many other things, aficionados of pork. I observe that Rick Malir is to piggery what Colonel Sanders is to chicken. For the last few years, we have met irregularly eight or 10 times a year seeking out new, hopefully unique one-off places for lunch, always hoping to find a new porcine rendition not previously encountered. We’ve experienced some winners and losers along the way. Restaurant reviews are the proverbial “dime a dozen,” and our mothers taught us to not say anything about someone (or something) unless it was nice, so CityScene’s “Arts, Entertainment and Style” rarely delves into the restau14 cityscene • June 2014
“Everything is done on a pita,” Shipman says. That includes hot dogs, veggie or falafel pitas. Catering clients typically choose to limit the menu for private events, he says. “It’s best not to give people too many choices. We decide with the customer ahead of time what choices they want (to offer).” Cassie McIntire chose Pitabilites to cater her 2012 wedding to Andrew McIntire at the Amelita Mirolo Barn in Upper Arlington. The truck pulled up to the curb in front of the barn and guests lined up on the brick patio to get their food, then took it inside to a table or ate standing up, chatting with friends and family. “We wanted to go with something that was unique and outside of the box as far
rant review arena. Rick observes that, “You can put your heart, soul and life savings into a restaurant, only to have it ‘beat up’ and potentially go out of business from just one bad day and one bad restaurant review.” However, we recently had lunch at the Explorers Club on South High Street – heir apparent to the Galaxy Café – and both of us agreed it was such a truly exceptional dining experience that we needed to share it with the CityScene audience. We further vowed to never do a restaurant review on a regular basis, but to continue to write about only the truly exceptional good food experiences when we stumble onto them. So you may not hear from us for a while, but when you do, you will know that not only is the article worth a read, but the restaurant is worth your time, money and effort to get there.

customers’ specific needs,” says Giant Eagle spokesman Dan Donovan. “With the guidance of our talented Market District chefs, customers can choose to use the weekly menu posted on our Market District food truck Facebook page, or we can create a theme perfect for their event.” Explorers Club’s typical truck menu is similar to its restaurant menu, which is based in Latin American cuisine with the addition of one other type of food, such as Hawaiian, Italian, German or Portuguese. The menu changes monthly. But for catering with the truck, Studer says he’s done everything from simple sandwiches to fancy dishes. “I tell people, ‘I can do anything your checkbook will allow you,’” he says. Studer says his operation’s ingredients are about 75 percent local during the sum-

as weddings go,” she says of her reason for choosing a food truck instead of traditional catering. “It worked out really well. They told us it would be a certain amount of money based on how much (food) they used, and we ended up paying way less than the estimate, which is good when you’re spending money on a wedding.” McIntire’s guests were impressed and entertained by the truck’s presence, she says. Studer, too, has found that a food truck adds a fun element to parties. At one wedding rehearsal dinner, “70 people just stood there and watched us,” he says. “They love watching (us cook). It’s mesmerizing to them.” And when the party is over, clean-up is simple. Just toss disposable plates, forks and cups. The rest magically disappears. “They roll away with the mess. There’s nothing to clean up,” Studer says. cs Lisa Aurand is a contributing editor. Feedback welcome at laurand@cityscenemediagroup.com. www.cityscenecolumbus.com

owntown and the Short North are the parts of central Ohio best known for their visual arts offerings – but in the greater Columbus area, there’s art all over the place. We took a look at the suburbs and outlying counties of central Ohio to see what each had in terms of artistic opportunity. And with so many galleries, arts festivals and artists’ guilds out there, we certainly weren’t disappointed.

Dublin Dublin Arts Council The Dublin Arts Council oversees the Dublin Art in Public Places program, which has installed more than 70 sculptural pieces in the last 25 years, from 1990’s Leatherlips monument to the brand-new Daily Chores. It also offers classes and summer camps, as well as regular exhibitions, which include work by local artists and student artists as well as pieces by prominent artDublin Arts Council ists, such as ShiftGallery ing Perspectives, a Down syndrome photo exhibition that began in the United Kingdom and is now an annual feature in Dublin. “It’s a community that values creativity,” says council Executive Director David Guion. “We have a lot of amazing talent here in Dublin.”
McConnell Arts Center
Worthington McConnell Arts Center The McConnell Arts Center, which opened in 2009, focuses its classes and events on all different art forms, but visual art is a big part of it, and many of its exhibitions feature the work of local artists, such as sculptor and fiber artist – and Worthington resident – Dorothy Gill Barnes. www.cityscenecolumbus.com
The center’s gallery space offers an opportunity for artists to display their work in a professional venue, its annual yArt sale (Aug. 16) gives them the chance to sell their work and and its busy performance schedule provides plenty of time for patrons to view their work. “We do a little over 20 shows a year, and they are all focused on artists who are living, breathing and working today,” says center Executive Director Jon Cook.
Westerville Citywide Art Programs Westerville has two galleries in its Uptown district – David Myers Art Studio, which also offers classes, and Gallery 202 – as well as three on the Otterbein University campus. It has two arts-centric groups: the Arts Council of Westerville, a catch-all organization supporting the arts in general, and the Westerville Art League, an alliance of local artists. Its Parks & Recreation Department organizes Public Art in Westerville Spaces, a rotating outdoor sculpture exhibition, and it’s also in the midst of rolling out a series of sculptures by late central Ohio artist Cobert C. Collins. And its arts festival – the Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce Music & Arts Festival, July 12-13 – brings in more than 160 fine artists and crafters each year. “The Westerville community is supportive of so many things that have to do with cultural enrichment and the arts,” says Christa Dickey, community affairs coordinator for the city of Westerville.

School students’ senior seminar projects, such as a floral close-up photo exhibition by 2014 graduate Riley Gundlach. The center has also been used such for presentations as a recent one on new educational models.

The guild’s members come from all over central Ohio, but many are local to Canal Winchester, such as painter Robert Warren, who hosted nationwide instructional painting programs including PBS’s The Art of Bill Alexander & Robert Warren. “We have a real variety of artistic people in the guild,” says guild President Linda Boving. “We have watercolor, oil, acrylics, collage, sculpture, glass, fiber arts, photography.”

the Alley, put together by the Grove City Chamber of Commerce, Sept. 20-21. To give an example of the talent in and around Grove City, the Wine and Arts Festival alone had 65 artist booths last year and, between artists and authors, is hoping for 80 to 100 this year. “We have just been completely overwhelmed with the number of responses we’re getting from folks who want to participate,” says Andrew Furr, executive director of Grove City Town Center.
Hilliard Old Hilliardfest Art Fair Photography, jewelry, ceramics, drawing, painting and wearable art are among the media created by the artists and crafters who set up shop at Old Hilliardfest’s art fair. The festival, which takes place Sept. 13, also includes an interactive arts area for children, as well as a multitude of nonvisual arts related attractions such as live music and a car show. “Each year, we have 30 to 40 vendors in the art fair,” says Robert Vance, public relations coordinator for the festival. cityscene • June 2014 19
Grandview Heights Art Studios for the Disabled Two studios in the city, Open Door Art Studio and Goodwill Columbus Art Studio and Gallery, reserve their space for artists with various disabilities, giving them the opportunity to display their work, hone their technique and even earn extra money through commissions. The studios teach professional techniques, and the artists’ work can hold up against that of any other artist, says Holly Adkins-Ardrey, director of the Goodwill studio. “Art is the great equalizer; there is no right or wrong, good or bad, except in the onlooker’s own personal opinion,” Adkins-Ardrey says.

The Works
Licking County The Works The Works’ classes and workshops, many of them aimed at youths, go beyond arts, but art is still a big part of the center’s mission – particularly with its biannual residencies for glass artists. The vast majority of its quarterly exhibitions are curated – Works staffers will develop an idea, then put out a call to artists whose work is appropriate for it – and each relates in some way to the center’s educational focus. “We like to tie in all the components that are in the (center) – the history, the science behind the art,” says Samantha Harris, director of marketing. “It’s got to be something that isn’t just art.”
Fairfield County Downtown Arts Offerings Downtown Lancaster offers the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio; Ohio Glass Museum; Georgian Museum, featuring antique decorative art; Monarch Gallery, which is
part of restaurant the Lodge in Lancaster; Blue Shoe Arts Gallery, part of pottery painting studio Art & Clay on Main; art and antique gallery the Bodenheimer-Mayer House; Blank Slate Artisan Shop; and an annual public sculpture exhibition utilizing work from area schools. Destination Downtown Lancaster, which oversees the sculpture program, also organizes the Art Walk at the Lancaster Festival; this year’s Art Walk is set for July 18. “We have a lot that a town our size might otherwise not have,” says Kate Ervin, executive director of Destination Downtown Lancaster.
Members’ work can be seen in the marketplace the league arranges at the Union County Covered Bridge Bluegrass Festival, set for Sept. 19-21 in North Lewisburg, and at the league’s Partridge Co-op, also at the Houston House. “We have two potters, we have a woman who does castings … we have a guy who does wooden bowls, we have a basket weaver who is phenomenal,” says league President Kim Heminger. cs Garth Bishop is editor of CityScene Magazine.

Union County Marysville Art League The league, headquartered at the historic Houston House, was formed in 1979, but had dwindled to 12 members by 2012. It has since increased its numbers to 650 – by seeking opportunities to cross-promote, adding more artists and scheduling more classes, workshops and experiences.

Epic Trail Builders go all-out for this year’s Parade of Homes By Garth Bishop
F
or the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio, assigning a theme to the annual Parade of Homes is standard operating procedure. But this year, the houses on the tour are so impressive, the BIA eschewed an official theme in favor of simply letting the homes speak for themselves.
“This year’s Parade of Homes will provide for one of the most spectacular showcases of home design, construction and décor that we’ve seen in a long time,” says Mike Poleway of Event Marketing Group, which is overseeing marketing efforts for the Parade. Low-density lots, walkout basements and scenic views are among the general offerings visible at properties along the tour. The 2014 Parade of Homes will take place July 19-Aug. 3 at Trails End, located in Liberty Township in southern Delaware County. When complete, Trails End will have 148 homes on 216 acres. The neighborhood is being developed by the Edward Land Company, which most recently hosted the 2009 Parade at Tartan Ridge. Home prices there range from $600,000 to $1 million. This year’s builders are 3 Pillar Homes, Bob Webb Homes, Compass Homes, Coppertree Homes, Dani Homes Ltd., M/I Homes, P & D Builders Ltd., Romanelli & Hughes, Silvestri Group LLC, Trinity Homes, Truberry Custom Homes and Weaver Custom Homes. 3 Pillar is building this year’s Foundation Home. Admission is $15 at the parade entrance. Visit www.biaparade.com for more information.
Extensive experience informs Bob Webb’s forward-looking design
Bob Webb Homes’ 30-plus-year commitment to modern Parade home design – and its 55-plus-year commitment to homebuilding – takes shape in its entry in the 2014 Parade. Company founder Bob Webb was inducted into the BIA Hall of Fame in the fall for his longstanding commitment to the local building industry. This is the 12th Parade in which the company has participated since its 1960 founding; the first was 1981’s at Little Turtle. One of its key commitments is making each entry adaptable to new technology. It’s tough to predict new advancements, so Bob Webb leaves things open and accessible – conduit pipes set up so new wires can easily be added, for instance. Scott Shively of Bob Webb points to the company’s contribution to the 1993 Parade at Wedgewood as a good example. A picture of it hangs in the company offices, and even though it was built 21 years ago, it still looks thoroughly in today’s style. This year’s home is 5,652 square feet, with five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. One major priority was the hearth room – located, along with the great room, off the open kitchen – which is designed to be

a place where the entire family can gather. Its centerpiece is a fireplace the builders joke is “big enough to walk into.” “Now Mom and Dad can be in the kitchen and the kids can be doing their homework or a craft project on that big table in the hearth room,” says Webb. Off the hearth room is a loggia with doors that can be left wide open, all overlooking a spacious deck – a design decision that ties the outdoor and indoor areas together. The deck affords a full view of the horse pasture to which the lot backs up, and it has steps down to a large patio, which connects to a huge, open lower-level family room. The driveway allows access to two garages – a two-car and a separate carriage garage – each with a separate entry into the house. They’re connected via a laundry area and mud hall that can be entered from either garage or from a small side porch between them, separate from the main front porch off the foyer. Bob Webb always prides itself on its craftsmanship, and that’s clear immediately upon entering the house, Shively says. The company’s cabinet shop built many of the specialty built-ins throughout the home. The commitment to top-notch craftsmanship is visible all throughout the house, and the ceilings on the first floor – which range from 10 to 15 feet in height – further set the house apart. A big brick archway in the lower level is designed to give the feel of a pub room without making it seem cut off from the rest of the house. A rec room with a bar and another sizable fireplace, a game room, a bedroom with bathroom, a covered porch and a wine cellar fill out the lower level. Upstairs, the master bedroom is highlighted by the huge walk-in closet off the bathroom, designed for someone organized with a lot of outfits. “We don’t need walls to separate rooms … we’ve done it with our trim detail. It’s all in the details,” says Webb, noting that trim detail is another key priority in all of the company’s houses. v www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

Castle-esque turret grabs attention at Truberry house A robust art collection inside and a unique design element outside promise to drag Parade-goers’ eyes over to Truberry Custom Homes’ contribution to this year’s tour. The most immediately striking feature of Truberry’s five-bedroom, four-bathroom, 5,274-square-foot offering is the six-sided turret that spans all three floors. On the first floor, it’s a study with windows on five of six sides and a woven leather rug. On the second floor, it’s the master bathroom, complete with a freestanding tub in the center of the room, a walk-in shower with opaque bubbled Italian glass and a coffee station with a built-in inset for a Keurig coffee maker. On the lower level, it’s a cosmopolitan bar with martini glass-themed chandelier, wall sconces and glass collection, as well as a shiny silver backsplash. “It’s designed with a feminine martini in mind,” says Truberry President Lori Steiner. Artwork inside the house and a sculpture in the front yard, all provided by Angela Meleca Gallery, are also likely to capture attention. Much of it is by painter and printmaker Katherine Kadish, who had a big show at the gallery in March and April, and most pieces are for sale. The kitchen, labeled a “chef’s tasting kitchen” in the floor plan, is loaded with cabinets. The wall cabinets have rounded outside edges, and the small cabinets near the ceiling have chain mail-esque stainless steel mesh inserts instead of glass.

“The center island is stainless steel, like in a restaurant, with a huge custom stainless steel and wood trim range hood over top of it,” Steiner says. The house has outdoor spaces off two levels: a deck accessible from the kitchen and an outdoor family room, with a patio and a stone fireplace surrounded by furniture, accessible from the lower level. Up one level from the lower-level fireplace is a flat stone fireplace wall in the great room, with an eight-inch-byeight-inch timber asymmetrical mantle. A dining room with a bubble chandelier and a big mud room off the kitchen – housing lockers, a planning desk, a laundry room and Truberry’s signature convenience center with cell phone chargers and a bench – fill out the main floor. Second-floor highlights include the master bedroom with a nice view and his-and-her closets, with a peninsula and a wall of built-ins for her, as well as a boy’s room, a girl’s room and a fourth bedroom that can serve as a study or play room. Besides the outdoor family room and bar, the lower level sports a fifth bedroom, a recreation room and a practice area that Truberry will design to fit the needs of the homeowner. It could be custom-made for golf, soccer, hockey, basketball, even lacrosse, Steiner says. “We took part of the basement and dug it deeper so that you could practice a sport there,” she says. Truberry is also excited about its signature custom trim, its seven-inch bold crown and its assortment of built-ins. In addition, the builder designed a unique railing system for indoors, visible right upon walking through the front door. Events will keep attendees busy throughout the Parade. Truberry is looking into seminars on art collection and meet-theartist events, organizing a Powell-area girls’ night out giveaway, and will even be featuring its own martini in the bar – a mixologist-designed “Tru-tini.” v www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

Setting the Scene An open floor plan and stunning views add to M/I home’s appeal
M/I Homes put enough work into emphasizing the view from its Parade home that looking out is almost as much fun as looking in. A large covered porch to the rear and side of the house, walkout lower level and open floor plan take full advantage of the scenic area around the five-bedroom, five-bathroom, 5,500-square-foot house. “The lot that we have has a pretty spectacular view out the back, so we tried to capture that view in all the rooms at the back of the house – both the first floor and the second floor,” says Tim Cook, M/I director of architecture. The side-and-rear deck is mostly covered, and features a spiral stair descending to the downstairs living area. It and the covered front porch are made with exposed
timber frame, which, along with the galvanized metal roof and stone choices, give the house a farmhouse theme “with more of a modern feel to it,” Cook says. Out in the yard is a patio with a fire pit. The first floor has not one, but two, powder rooms – one accessible from the foyer, and one in the large mud hall off the three-car garage with epoxy floor. It also has a kitchen with a big eat-in island that’s open to both the breakfast area and the great room, making the space accommodating to families. The great room and den also sport timber ceilings, with the den ceiling in a cathedral style. Opposite the great room from the kitchen is a hearth room with a two-sided fireplace that goes out to the rear deck, where it is situated below a TV

screen. The living room and the lower level also have fireplaces, with built-in shelves for stacking wood. “Up in this area of town, there’s a lot of woods, and we wanted to have that feel of a wood-burning fireplace, which a lot of people have gotten away from nowadays,” Cook says. Other built-ins include benches in the lower level, space for a dog bed and pet food and water bowls in the mud hall, and areas for homework and computers in the loft upstairs, so children need not be shut in their rooms to work. The master bathroom has a freestanding tub, but it’s the walk-in shower that draws the most eyeballs with shower heads at both ends, two rain cans in the ceiling and four wall jets on each side.

The lower level is set up for entertaining, with separate areas for adults and kids. A game area complete with bar and pool table serves as the centerpiece. A children’s arcade features three large plasma TVs with game consoles for each on one side and gaming chairs and beanbags for seating on the other side, and an entertainment area on the other side of the game room offers an alternative for the grownups without eating up the space a theater would consume. “The whole rear wall (of the lower level) is all windows and glass doors,” Cook says. The lower level also has a fifth bedroom and access to a garden room – essentially a garage for storage of lawn and gardening equipment. v

Grand Designs
Sheer size and creative interiors help Compass home stand out Compass Homes is looking for its Parade home to be a hub for design ideas, and with 17 interior designers’ work wrapped up in one consistent package, it’s hard to dispute its dedication. The company partnered with the American Society of Interior Designers on the five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom house, which offers 5,294 square feet upstairs and 1,570 on the lower level, some of which is unfinished. It’s the biggest house Compass has ever built for a Parade. Pet accommodations are a major feature, with highlights including a “doggie den” with built-in dog shower off the mud room and a dog run with artificial turf that simplifies cleaning up after the animal. “We’ve been joking around, saying that this year, Compass’ house has gone to the

dogs,” says Pamela Cinelli, director of sales and marketing for Compass. The basement floor in particular is a point of pride – it’s an epoxy finish by Columbus Garage Floor Coating, initially designed to resemble marble, that has never been used in a house before. The basement itself features a pubstyle bar in a large entertainment area, a projection-screen theater designed to be brighter and more inviting than the typical man cave and a bedroom with full bath. “Ours is more welcoming, it’s a lot brighter, it’s a lot more family-oriented,” Cinelli says. The tile work is another aspect Compass expects to draw visitors’ attention. Multiple complex patterns can be found
in a number of locations; one can be seen going into a library on the first floor that could be converted into an in-law suite. “It’s not your typical Columbus ‘50 shades of beige’ tile,” Cinelli says. Also on the first floor is a kitchen that opens into a great room and a morning room, an eat-in kitchen extension that’s a signature touch in many Compass homes. Antique rush-seat chairs and plenty of windows fill out the morning room. A 48-inch top cook griddle, exotic granite and ledgestone backsplash, and a distressed Lyptus wood island with handrubbed glazed oyster cabinetry around the perimeter are among the highlights of the kitchen.

A widescreen draft vent fireplace, with floor-to-ceiling tile surround and no mantle, is the centerpiece of the great room. Several unique chandeliers hang throughout the house, including a “branchler” (antler/twig design) chandelier in the entry hall. Upstairs, the colossal master bedroom offers a comparably colossal walk-in closet sporting built-ins with an equestrian theme and an island for shoes and purses, as well as a wine and coffee bar with a floating furniture vanity between it and the master bathroom. The bathroom has farmhouse sinks and a free-standing bathtub placed over tile designed to resemble a rug. In addition to three more bedrooms, the second floor also has a sitting room, a laundry room with old-fashioned wall-hanging laundry tubs and a mom’s retreat – an artistic space for the woman of the house. Each room, no matter who designed it, features local artwork, as all Compass Parade homes do. Contributing artists include painter Rocco Pisto, photographer Patrick Affourtit and sculptor Mac Worthington. Sight isn’t the only sense Compass hopes to stimulate. The kitchen will host cooking demonstrations by WilliamsSonoma, and the Candle Lab will provide distinct scents for each room as well as children’s activities. v Garth Bishop is editor of CityScene Magazine.

Purpose: What are you trying to achieve by installing a fence? The answer will affect what type of fence you choose. Fences provide many benefits, including style, safety, containment and privacy. A fence expert can help you choose a type of fence and modify the style to achieve your purpose. The height of the fence, spacing of material and addition of wire can provide functional aspects to your selection. Ask your fence professional about other features – such as gates, locks and controllers – to maximize the benefit of your new fence. Style: Because your home is unique, select a fence that not only meets your purpose but fits your style. Use this opportunity to add style and architectural detailing to your property. For example, a modern home may call for a vinyl option instead of a wood picket style fence. Whether your home style is country, modern or traditional, there are plenty of fence styles to choose from. Matching the style of your home will add to the aesthetics of your property, deliver curb appeal and increase your property value. Expertise: Selecting the right fence contractor can make a difference in the outcome of your fence and reduce the stress of your home improvement project. Make sure to choose a company that has been in the fencing business for many years and has expert installers with extensive experience installing all types of fences. Talk to friends and neighbors about their experiences with fencing companies to help find experts in your area. 40 L u

When considering different contractors for your project, take the time to learn how long each one has been in business and read the warranty details. Company longevity is one clue that tells you this company is doing something right and will continue to be around to honor service and product warranties when it’s time to make good on what was promised. Many turn-and-burn companies offer alleged special deals without the longstanding reputation needed to give you the peace of mind you want and need to make a sound decision. -Leo Ruberto, President Always visit your contractor’s place of business. The Better Business Bureau recommends visiting a company’s place of business for a transaction of $1,800 or more. Seeing the company’s headquarters can tell you a lot about how the company runs. Is the office clean and put together? Leo Ruberto
Are employees dressed professionally and treating visitors with respect? Does the company even have a physical address? This type of interaction will help you gauge what kind of service and quality you are going to receive while working with the company. -Matt Sherry, Residential Sales Manager The lowest priced bid usually isn’t the best determining factor for choosing a contractor. While paying less up front is very attractive, you’re often paying less because you’re receiving lower-quality products or material and less experienced craftsmen. Keeping a few extra dollars in your pocket now isn’t worth the amount you will spend down the road correcting or replacing the work that was done just a few years ago. -Nick Warmath, Vice President of Commercial Operations

Mash of the Titans in the spirit
How to tell one whiskey from the next – and make them all delicious By Garth Bishop
A
ny casual whiskey drinker knows there are many different varieties of the stuff, and each one has its own unique taste. The differences in composition that result in those many varieties may be less common knowledge. And once the differences are understood, the question becomes how best to use each spirit. Generally speaking, whiskey is distilled liquor made from grain mash and barrelaged. The most common grains are malted barley, corn, rye and wheat. Bourbon Whiskey Must: Be made in the U.S. and aged in oak barrels, with grain composition of at least 51 percent corn and maximum alcohol content of 80 percent. To be labeled “straight bourbon,” it must be aged at least two years. Examples: Watershed Distillery Bourbon (Grandview Heights), OYO Bourbon Whiskey (Middle West Spirits, Short North), Cleveland Whiskey Black Reserve Bourbon Cocktail: The Smoking Barrel
looser, requiring only that the mash contain some rye. Examples: Old Homicide (Ernest Scarano Distillery, Fremont), Jim Beam (ri)1, Copper Fox Rye Cocktail: Suburban • 1 ½ oz. rye whiskey • ½ oz. dark rum • ½ oz. port • 1 dash orange bitters • 1 dash Angostura bitters Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Stir well with cracked ice, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass. (Courtesy www.esquire.com) Wheat Whiskey Must: Be aged in oak barrels, with grain composition of at least 51 percent wheat and maximum alcohol content of 80 percent. Like bourbon, it must be aged two years to be labeled “straight wheat.” Example: OYO Whiskey (Middle West Spirits, Short North), Bernheim Original, Cedar Ridge Wheat Whiskey Cocktail: Whiskey Sangria
• 2 oz. Watershed bourbon • ¾ oz. sweet vermouth • ½ oz. amaro • ¼ oz. grade B maple syrup • 2 dashes maple bitters
• 1 oz. OYO Whiskey • 1 oz. Malbec wine • ¼ oz. simple syrup • 3-4 dashes orange bitters • 8 drops orange flower water
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass or over rocks into an old fashioned glass. Garnish with a brandied cherry. (Courtesy www.watersheddistillery.com)
Build in a tub glass over ice. Garnish with a whiskey-soaked cherry and a slice of orange, skewered together, and serve. (Courtesy www.middlewestspirits.com)
Rye Whiskey Must: Be aged in oak barrels, with grain composition of at least 51 percent rye and maximum alcohol content of 80 percent. Like bourbon, it must be aged two years to be labeled “straight rye.” Notes: The above rules apply only to American rye; rules for Canadian rye are www.luxurylivingmagazine.com
Rye Whiskey (Indian Creek Distillery, New Carlisle), Ole Smoky Cocktail: Lorenzo’s Revenge • 1 oz. OYO White Rye Whiskey • ½ oz. St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur • ¼ oz. fresh lime juice • Ginger beer • 2 dashes bitters Combine whiskey, liqueur, lime juice and bitters in a highball glass and stir. Fill with ice and top with ginger beer. Garnish with a lime coin. (Courtesy www.middlewestspirits.com) Garth Bishop is editor of CityScene Magazine. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com.
White Whiskey Must: Be made like other American whiskeys, but is aged either for a minimal length of time or not aged at all. Examples: OYO White Rye Whiskey (Middle West Spirits, Short North), Staley Visit www.cityscenecolumbus.com for information and recipes for Tennessee, Scotch, Irish and Canadian whiskey. L

D.C. Dos and Dont’s Tips on touring like a local in the nation’s capital Story and photos by Rose Davidson

give yourself time to plot your course and determine which of the five color-coded lines you want to take. Tickets can be purchased inside the stations, and depending on how long you’re in town, different passes are available. But be careful not to ride during rush hour if you can avoid it; fare prices rise and cars fill up quickly. Also, while there may be no distinction in other parts of the country, in D.C. there are two speeds for riders of the Metro’s wide escalators. It’s unspoken, but well-known to locals, that the left side of the escalator is reserved for those eager enough to walk up and down, while the right side is intended for those wishing for a more leisurely ride. www.cityscenecolumbus.com

Moonlit Monuments: The nation’s monuments are a sight to behold, no matter the time of day, but they really stand out after the sun goes down. Maps can make the monuments seem closer together than they actually are, so one good way to ensure you see all of them is to take a bus tour. Even though it’s quite a touristy activity, only the smart tourists know to go this route. Old Town Trolley Tours offers a “Monuments by Moonlight” tour that drops you at numerous stops for those sought-after photo ops, but make sure to reserve your seats in advance.

Where to Go
Master the Museum Scene: While an intensive one-day museum tour is desirable, it’s also rather unlikely. There are more than a dozen museums and galleries flanking the National Mall alone, and even more scattered throughout the city. To really immerse yourself in each attraction, two or three stops per day is a good goal to set. Consider researching the museums ahead of time to figure out which ones you’d most like to see – and where they are in relation to one another. While deciding, you may also want to check the admission costs. Some attractions, including most of the Smithsonian Institution’s 17 museums and galleries, are free to the public.

Looms and Lasers Technology, old and new, enhances work of new festival artists By Cindy Gaillard
D
espite the substantial differences between their artistic media, two of the additions to this year’s Columbus Arts Festival have something in common: They both learned and honed their crafts at the Cultural Arts Center (CAC) in downtown Columbus. And with media ranging from the luxury of an alpaca fiber scarf to technology-driven jewelry, “substantial” is certainly the way to describe the differences. Karen Mulier and the team of John Davidson and JD Shipengrover are part of the crop of Emerging Artists at this year’s festival. Mulier is a weaver who raises alpacas on her farm, Windy Lane Alpacas, near London, Ohio. While she had extensive experience in needlework, she turned to the CAC for formal instruction about five years ago in an effort to expand her skills and make scarves to display at her farm store. She says she has grown as an Karen Mulier

Watching Davidson melt recycled metal with a blowtorch to extract the silver, then move to another room to set up an intricate computer design to be laser cut into acrylic earrings is like watching a modern-day alchemist. Indeed, he says Lab Partners exists “at the intersection of art, science and technology.” Much like the early days of computer development in Silicon Valley, Davidson feels we are in the midst of an artistic explosion due to the availability of highend technology such as laser cutters and numeric controlled shop boxes (basically a big drill at the end of a computer). “As a member of the Columbus Idea Foundry, I find that I have access to tools that otherwise would have been locked up inside of warehouses and manufacturing firms, and I can use those to create new interesting, fun, wearable art,” he says. Davidson is enthusiastic about what he calls the “democratization of the manufacturing process” that allows anyone with an
interest to acquire experience in a formerly unattainable art process. Both artists are excited to be named Emerging Artists for this year’s Columbus Arts Festival. And the CAC is equally enthusiastic about its students rising to the ranks of professional artists. “We’re always excited when any of our student artists make waves in the broader community,” says CAC Arts Administrator Geoffrey Martin. “The CAC encourages our students to explore their talent and realize their creative potential.” Sharone Putter – who teaches classes on printmaking, drawing and design at the center – is also an Emerging Artist this year. Mulier encourages those interested in making art to check out the center’s classes. “You don’t have to make just potholders,” she says. Information on Mulier’s work can be found by searching for Windy Lane Alpacas at www.etsy.com.

Grove City has the home for you.
How did the city that started as a quiet farming community more than 150 years ago become Central Ohio’s #1 suburb for new-home starts for six straight years? Our story begins with the people who settled here: caring, hard-workers you want as your neighbors and as part of your workforce. With available quality employees, proximity to Columbus’ downtown and major airports, Grove City’s roster of businesses grew from small family companies to also include corporations like Netflix, FedEx Ground, T. Marzetti Co. and others. And with this growth came the demand for more quality housing – from starter homes to elegant estates.

Open Invitation St. Louis art studios open their doors to the public in late June
By Lauren Andrews Photos by Joel Connor, courtesy the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis
I
f a trip to an artist’s studio provides some insight into the artistic process, then trips to 150 artists’ studios must provide an enormous amount of insight. That’s the appeal of Open Studios, an annual event presented by the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. A huge number of artists open up their studios to visitors for a weekend in the city, located a little over six hours west of Columbus. This year’s event is set for June 27-29. A kick-off party the first night provides printed maps and schedules. “It’s a great chance to meet contributing artists and plan your itinerary for the weekend,” says Ida McCall, PR and marketing manager for the museum. Visitors can take guided bus, bike or walking tours, or use the search function on the mobile-friendly event website, www.openstudios-stl.org, to find their way around. “So, for instance, if you’re really into sculptures, you can just search for sculptures. Or you can search for a specific artist, neighborhood or type of art,” McCall says. “We’re really trying to provide the tools for anyone who’s interested in discovering more about the artists working in St. Louis, allowing them to see the artists’ working spaces, meet and chat with them.” Studios and art spaces east of the city’s Grand Boulevard are open June 28, while those west of Grand – as well as those in the larger St. Louis County – are open June 29. Some have after-hours events featuring performances, live music, poetry readings, artist demos, film screenings and other celebrations. “It’s a very fluid, open weekend,” says McCall. “There’s lots of different ways for locals to enter into this.” Those looking to bring home a piece of art to remember their visit can rest assured that most artists have their work for sale, offering pieces across all manner of media. “It really runs the gamut,” says McCall. “The focus is on visual arts, but we also open it to graphic designers and architects. We try to be as inclusive as possible.” Open Studios serves the local art community with its inclusivity and exposure; last year, more than 170 artists participated. “It’s a community effort, and there’s such a strong interest,” says McCall. “It really serves to showcase different neighborhoods – ones you wouldn’t expect. There are lots of little hidden treasures in St. Louis.” cs Lauren Andrews is a contributing writer. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com. 56 cityscene • June 2014
