Working quietly on Main Street is a neighborhood agency serving our residents in the century old Settlement House tradition. We’ve got a review of the 2013 version of our famous tour of homes. There’s the new Near Eastside Food Coop looking for members and an article about the renovation of Olde Towne’s largest park and recreation center. Also, don’t miss our calendar of future events and festivals. We think there’s something for everyone in the Fall Edition of the Olde Towne Times.

Online business opportunities inspire many young entrepreneurs in this Internet age. One Olde Towne East resident, Larissa Boiwka (boyeve-ka) has developed an amazing online presence in Wilde Hunt Corsetry (www.wildehunt.com). At one time corsets were considered de rigueur undergarments for women. Today, inspired by the Goth couture style and popularized by entertainers such as Madonna and fashion designers John Paul Gautier and Vivian Westwood corsets have achieved a new place in women’s fashion. Larissa creates one of a kind decorated leather corsets designed to be worn as outer wear at special occasions, such as weddings, masquerade balls or anytime a woman (or very occasionally a man) wants to look and feel especially beautiful. One of Larissa’s creations was even featured in a music video by Grammy award winning rapper, Chamillionaire. Ms Boiwka’s background in anthropology and archaeology, especially the ancient Mesoamerican culture, informs her print designs and use of beads, Swarovski crystal and other exotic materials. Her most recent corset, made of beautiful purple leather, intricately beset with jewels, gold threads and even iridescent green beetle wings, took her 250 hours to create and is priced at $5,000! Larissa worked for several years developing her beading art at Byzantium, the now closed bead emporium on King Avenue. She travels regularly to the Garment District in New York City to obtain her myriad colors of leather. “I use leather,” she says, “because

Commissions come in from all over the world; the furthest away so far being from the island of St. Lucia. She usually has six to eight commissions going at any one time. A corset generally costs between $400 and $2,500, depending on the materials and decoration. Larissa’s beading and leatherwork expertise is recognized by Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD) where she teaches couture beading and introduction to surface design. Several CCAD students have been tapped as interns to assist with her business. Larissa has found inspiration for future designs by studying the collections at the Ohio State University Historic Costume and Textile Collection. Ms Boiwka’s corsets are one of a kind items that are unusual combinations of clothing and art. For a totally unique gift for that special someone or to make an unforgettable splash at that society function of the year, commission a corset from Larissa at Wilde Hunt Corsetry.

An Historic Tradition of Neighborhood Help
By Liz Hughes-Weaver
Maybe you’ve recently lost a job and fear not being able to pay the rent. Or maybe you’ve found work but can’t afford childcare or safe after school activities for your children. Where does a family turn when facing hard times or simply working hard to overcome poverty? For many the solution is the same today as it was over a hundred years ago, a Settlement House. Dating back to the late 1800’s, progressives of the time, often educated women who weren’t properly allowed to hold paying jobs, began purchasing homes in poor neighborhoods to “settleâ€? among the poor in order to work toward erasing class lines, to share education and resources, and generally do whatever it took to improve the quality of life for poor and often new Americans. These centers became neighborhood hubs offering aid to those in need at the grassroots level, as well as cultural exposure, acclimation for immigrants, and advocating for basic human and workers’ rights. The movement helped develop the practice of social work and of human services as we know it today. In modern times, workers no longer live within the houses and the organizations, often known as Community Houses or Neighborhood Centers, are now staffed by professionals. One such organization, Central Community House, sits in Olde Towne East on East Main Street. Central Community House offers many of the same services begun by settlement houses, but has added additional activities to meet the current needs of their community: workforce development, early education child care centers, after school and summer programs for youth and teens, art and cultural programs, family strengthening, and many basic and emergency needs that help individuals and families weather hard times, unemployment and the many challenges often found in impoverished areas. “Central Community House is a second home to many, especially kids and teens looking for some place fun, positive and safe in their neighborhood,â€? said Pamela McCarthy, Executive Director for over twenty years. “We serve all ages, all walks of life. Everyone has something to bring, and everyone needs the support of another at some point in their life.â€? In addition to services that address immediate needs, Central offers tools [V OLSW YLZPKLU[Z IYLHR [OL WV]LY[` J`JSL HUK ILJVTL TVYL ZLSM Z\MĂ„JPLU[ *LU[YHSÂťZ *VTW\[LY 3HI JHU OLSW ZVTLVUL Ă„UK H QVI ^OPSL Z\IZPKPaLK *OPSK Care allows parents to work while young children learn basic skills preparing them for future schooling. Similarly after school and teen programs provide tutoring, physical activities, art and dance workshops and an array of support to help keep kids safe, learning and out of trouble. There are also Community Gardens and an active Senior Program. For even broader issues involving the neighborhood as a whole, Central Community House offers support, advocacy, meeting space and the services of a professional Community Organizer. From it’s main location on East Main and in the planned arts satellite on Bryden, Central Community House serves all ages and all walks of life, working diligently for a high quality of life for all.

Well, Furniture Bank of Central Ohio is here for you. Formerly known as Material Assistance Providers (MAP), the organization was started in 1998 serving only a few hundred families. It is now the second largest furniture bank in the nation serving 4,200 families (12,519 individuals over half of whom were children) in 2011.

WHAT HAS SURPRISED YOU MOST ABOUT LIVING IN OLDE TOWNE? How everyone looks out for each other. It is like having a whole community of Gladys Kravitz’s living around you. I love the sense of community that we have going on here.
How wonderful the folks were. For me it was a totally different world or so I thought. I learned it wasn’t, quite a gift to get.
The genuine sense of community. My neighbors know each other and show a sincere concern for each other’s well-being. The socialization among them is really cool. OTE residents are the cool kids. :-)
WHAT WAS THE LAST BOOK YOU READ? Jack and Jill by James Patterson. I am reading all of the Alex Cross series.
“Devil in the White City”
I recently reread The Great Gatsby. It’s a completely different story reading it from an adult perspective
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DRINK? Captain Morgan and Sprite Zero
Everyone knows I love my Bourbon neat.
Bourbon, especially Buffalo Trace
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT? Guiseppe’s Ritrova in Bexley, but from Cincinnati I would say LaRosa’s. They have the best pizza.
I like to eat so can’t say that I have a favorite.
That is like asking me to pick my favorite child. I really like Black Creek Bistro, especially their happy hour and bistro menu.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES? I love to run, work in the yard, reading, hanging out with friends, bowling and softball.
Real estate is my passion. Not much time left for much of anything else, but I do still get on my bike from time to time.
My hobbies include urban hiking, biking, cooking, and I am a recovering gamer (WoW was and still is my “drug” of choice).
WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY? My life with my partner Matt, the girls (Mattie & Kayci), and my family. I love seeing my great nieces and nephews growing up. A good long walk on the beach really makes me happy.

BLACKBURN PARK UPDATE First the trees died. Then they were cut down. All winter there were bobcats and bulldozers followed by masons and bricklayers. What’s going on at Blackburn Park and Recreation Center on Bryden between 18th and Carpenter? Turns out a plan developed in 2007 ^HZ ÄUHSS` M\UKLK PU HUK [OL *VS\TI\Z Parks and Recreation Department has spent over $200,000 to upgrade the park and recreation center. The Green Ash trees that had become infected with the Emerald Ash Borer have been replaced with Chinkapin Oaks. New lighting, a brick paved seating area, new benches, landscaping and the completion of the decorative fencing that OTENA previously installed along Bryden have made the park a lovely addition to our restored Bryden Road mansions. To make the park more attractive to our younger residents, new playground equipment, including a miniature climbing wall was installed along with seats for observing parents. The rear of the park has also been tied into the adjacent recreation center with the vacating of the unused alley and the addition of appropriate fencing and gates. On the southern end of the recreation center, next to the tennis and basketball courts, another outdoor addition has proven most popular with neighborhood youngsters. The older (and for the past

The Recreation Center itself has also undergone improvements, notably the addition of a covered corridor on the Carpenter Street side that allows users to walk to and from both sides of the building without having to cross the gym Ă…VVY ;OL UVY[O ZPKL VM [OL I\PSKPUN HI\[[PUN [OL WHYR OHZ ILLU YLUV]H[LK [V OV\ZL Ă„[ULZZ equipment for public use. The center offers a variety of both indoor and outside activities. Information is on line at parks.columbus.gov/BlackburnCenter.aspx. Neighborhood and church groups can obtain permits to use the park for events by calling the 7LYTP[Z 6MĂ„JL H[ Ron Brush, Blackburn Center Manager welcomes the public, especially parents, to check out the amenities offered. Columbus Recreation and Parks Department is always looking to hire teachers. So if you have the time and a skill and want to enrich the lives of our neighborhood children, look into helping out at Blackburn Park.

Considering the art history of the Near East Side and the number of artists working here today, an OTENA arts committee, we all agreed, would be a good thing. The committee’s mission is fourfold: (1) to foster a sense of community among artists, art professionals, and art lovers living in Olde Towne East and the Near East Side; (2) to distinguish Olde Towne East and the neighboring area as culturally vibrant and unique among Columbus’ neighborhoods; (3) to increase awareness of the history of the arts of the area; and (4) to contribute to
