CONNECT WITH THE BARBER
By Jordan Kuntz
JOSH WILBUR Growing up in the suburbs of Columbus, Kenji Prince never dreamed of owning a barbershop; he dreamed of a career in music. After pursuing a degree in recording, he moved to Los Angeles to work for a small record label. While in LA, he spent a lot of time at his favorite barbershop, at one point driving two hours, one way, once a month just to hang out there. However, over time, he came to realize that maybe there was more to it than just hanging out. Upon returning to Columbus Kenji looked into barber school but it was just too expensive. Instead, he started buying vintage barber manuals and reading how to shave and do haircuts. Eventually, he decided that he was done with procrastinating. “I went to the barber school and told them I’d take out student loans and I didn’t care what it would take, because I was going to do it.” After working his way through school he found himself at the same shop as his future partner at Old Familiar Barbershop, Josh Wilbur. According to Kenji, both he and Josh “were on different waves” than the owner of that shop, and needed out. While venting his frustration at Carabar, owner Ron Barker suggested he open his own shop. Even
KENJI PRINCE though Kenji didn’t know anything about the business of running a barbershop, he allowed Ron to introduce him to the landlord and check out the space. “It was right across the street from Carabar. The rent was good. And I’d get to hang out with Ron everyday.” The good news about barbershops, according to Kenji, is that it doesn’t take a ton of money to get started. “Realistically, all you need is a sink, a mirror and a chair. It was more of an emotional risk than a financial risk.” Thankfully for the residents of Olde Towne East, the risk has paid off. Old Familiar Barbershop opened in April of 2012 offering a variety of services for the modern man, in an atmosphere that even your granddad would love. Haircuts start at just $15 and straight razor shaves cost $20. If you’re looking for a more rejuvenating experience, the Hangover Cure Shave Deluxe includes hot towels, hot lather, rolling cream facial, witch hazel steam, moisturizer, aftershave and French press coffee. And talk about full-service…Old Familiar Barber Shop even offers legal marriage ceremonies! While Old Familiar doesn’t currently take walk-ins, they are looking to fill their third
WAYNE MC CLOY OFFICE MANAGER chair with a barber who will begin this summer. Currently, appointments need to be made 3-4 weeks in advance. While Kenji admits that he doesn’t love that system, it does allow him to give his customers the attention they deserve. Having just celebrated the shop’s second anniversary on April 11th, what does the future have in store for Old Familiar Barbershop? If it’s up to Kenji, he’s not going anywhere. “I’ve been living in the same house in Clintonville for over five years. I don’t know my next-door neighbors. We sleep, literally, 10 feet apart. I don’t even know anybody on my street. But I know everybody on this street. I want the shop here in Olde Towne forever.”

pleased OTENA agreed to act as fiscal agent and donate $1000 to the Olde Towne East George Bellows Mural. And we’re also happy to report that the Columbus Museum of Art has donated the reproduction rights to George Bellow’s beautiful painting Riverfront no.1 (to be reproduced by local artist Roger Williams). On April 16th we received more good news, the Ohio Alliance for Arts Education has given our project a $500 grant. And finally, we’ll be coming to you - our friends and neighbors for the final portion of funding. If you are interested in learning more or donating towards the Olde Towne East George Bellows Mural please visit, http://www.oldetownearts.org/ mural-project/. We plan on having a dedication plaque made with select sponsors listed on it. Keep in mind these coveted spots will be limited in number and we expect they’ll go quickly. If you or your business would like to be listed as a patron of the arts or even create a “in memoriam” dedication on this plaque, please don’t delay in contacting us.
On Sunday, July 13th OTENA’s Summer Tour of Historic Homes and Gardens returns to the heart of Olde Towne East. While we love touring homes located in our neighboring communities, it is nice to connect with our own OTE past and future by highlighting our eclectic housing stock and residents. The tour this year presents homes on Oak and S. 18th Streets, Bryden Road and Franklin Avenue between S. 18th and S. 21st Streets – truly the heart of OTE. Several homes this year will feature fabulous, renovated kitchens, so come on tour and get wonderful ideas for updating or completely renovating your own kitchen. The gardens portion of our tour showcases the lush creativity of an OTE landscape designer and the inventiveness of a small front yard edible plants gardener. Discover ways you can design with plants and create your own “eating local” garden. Besides homes and gardens the Tour Committee, chaired this year by Tour veterans Ann Twiggs, Alex Macke and Tawana Owens, has been brainstorming interesting ways to introduce new businesses and entertainment to the mix. The ticket prices are $15 in advance and $20 day of tour. Please check out our website for advance ticket locations at www.oldetowneeast.org. Many volunteers are needed to ensure a successful tour. Consider volunteering in a tour home, on the neighborhood clean up crew, handing out postcards at various summer festivals, sign and banner placement, helping with the after party, etc. Volunteers get to go on the tour for free and attend the thank you volunteer after party. To sign up go to www.oldetowneeast.org or email Volunteer Coordinator Dave Dezurko at davedezurko612@hotmail.com. Also, be sure to tell your friends and relatives to save the date – July 13th! See you on the Tour!
First English Connects the Community By Michele Winship Pastor Bob Ward of First English Lutheran Church on OTE’s south boundary is committed to fulfilling his congregation’s mission of serving the community and carrying on its 150+ year tradition of leading social change and building community. Historically, First English was one of the first churches in Columbus to integrate and was the prototype for Neighborhood Health Centers. Since taking over the ministry in 2006, Pastor Bob has continued to expand his ministry to include public safety, education for children and housing. “Public safety is probably our primary challenge because until we have a safe neighborhood where people want to come and live, we can’t build community, we can’t build a congregation.” First English has collaborated with the local policing agencies in promoting public safety, finding great allies in the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District and the Columbus City Attorney, Rick Pfeiffer. To combat the negative loitering in the neighborhood, Pastor Bob and congregation members have instituted a “positive loitering” program, filling a wagon and a cooler with soda pop and snacks, walking up and down the streets greeting everyone they see, offering refreshment and handing them a flyer about First English in order to start to build relationships that include everybody, regardless of the nature of their activity in the neighborhood. Every Thursday night, all year long, First English hosts a home-cooked community family dinner from 6-7 p.m. that includes children’s activities. “This is not a soup kitchen. This is a chance for our neighbors to come, get a plate, sit down, eat together, get to know each other and build a sense of belonging.” In addition to the family dinner, hot breakfast is served every Sunday morning between the 8:30 and 10:00 a.m. worship services. Both of these meals are made possible through the assistance of food donations and
volunteers from about 40 partnering congregations. During the summer, First English also hosts block parties one Friday each month as a way to bring the neighborhood together. The first one this year is May 30th from 5:00- 7:00 p.m. at 22nd and McAllister. There will be a big cook out, a DJ provided by Transit Arts, basketball hoops in the post office parking lot, face painting and carnival games. The block parties have been a big community-builder, with turnouts of about 250 neighbors. “For two hours on a Friday night, the neighborhood forgets all divisions” with people literally dancing in the streets. Also in the summer, First English provides as much programming for kids as possible. The church runs a reading tutoring program at Ohio Avenue Elementary during the school year that they hope to continue through the summer to help students pass their 3rd Grade reading test. There are also two week-long Vacation Bible Schools, an 8-week 5-day-a-week Elite Summer Camp for boys in grades 4, 5 and 6, a 5-day Amazing Grace Day Camp and a Bike Program that provides new bikes and helmets to kids after completing 6 lessons on bike safety. First English welcomes volunteers, and Pastor Bob sends a special invitation to OTE residents on the north side of Main Street to come out for the block parties. “The more we can get people on both sides knowing each other, the more we can start breaking down some of these barriers.” To volunteer or for information about additional programming, visit the First English web page: http://www. columbuslutherans.org/Home_Page. html Address: 1015 Main Street Columbus, OH 43205 Phone: 614.252.3191 Email: felcoffice@wowway.biz Office Hours: 9 a.m. - Noon M-F 2014 First English Block Parties 5-7 p.m. at McAllister and 22nd May 30, June 27, July 18, August 22 and September 26

WHAT HAS SURPRISED YOU MOST ABOUT LIVING IN OLDE TOWNE? I think it had to be when Ann Twiggs nominated me for the trustee position and Kim Barrett seconded the nomination!
I was pleasantly surprised that the pace of the changes in Olde Towne East were slower, smoother and more organic than in other neighborhoods. I live in a friendly community surrounded by friends and neighbors.
The way the city shuts down in snow. I am a teacher so it really impacts me. Not that I am complaining about snow days, it’s just something I never experienced growing up in Chicago.
WHAT WAS THE LAST BOOK YOU READ? A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin.
I’m currently reading “Bird Lives!” a biography of Charlie Parker, the revolutionary and innovative jazz musician. Although my musical taste tends to be eclectic, I am a solid jazz fan.
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DRINK? A Manhattan or the Thai Tea Martini (from Nida’s Thai on High).
Although I’m not a teetotaler, I drink very moderately, maybe three beers a week. I like the handcrafted beers we now see flourishing.
Gin and Tonic
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT? There’s this restaurant in Antigua, Guatemala located within a old Spanish colonial style home. The food and ambience are both amazing. They have most incredible French-style pastries.
Black Creek is my favorite restaurant. The food is, of course delicious and the atmosphere decidedly friendly. My favorite breakfast and coffee place is the Angry Baker on 18th and Oak.

CONNECT WITH TERRY KALOUS, OTE’S POLICE COMMUNITY LIAISON OFFICER Olde Towne East has been a neighborhood in transition for most of its history, and with any transition come growing pains. Fortunately, the Columbus Police Department, through its Strategic Response Bureau, created the Community Liaison Section to work with community groups and individuals regarding criminal activities and prevention and quality-oflife issues. And even more fortunately, OTE’s Community Liaison Officer for the past 15 years has been Theresa “Terry” Kalous. At first, the job seemed overwhelming, but the more Terry worked with block watches, schools and residents, the more she realized that the residents cared about where they lived and wanted to make a difference, and that working alongside them, she could make a difference, too. “The more crack houses, abandoned buildings, drug dealers and prostitutes that we took care of together, I knew this would be a rewarding job.” In 15 years Terry has seen amazing change. “I cannot count the achievements that we, as a group, have accom-
plished. We still have some hurdles and some long term goals, but, with the awesome people both in the community and in the police department, we will reach those goals.” Terry regularly brags to other city officials that community policing works in the 12th Precinct because of the closeness between the community and the community liaison officer who also serves as a link to the patrol officers in the precinct. The main challenges the community currently faces are the obvious street level drug dealing and the thefts from property. Terry, working with CPD, the block watches, civic groups and churches will continue to work well together until those goals are met. She has seen it happen before, especially the summer that crime exploded on Main Street with openair drug sales, drug usage, prostitution and scores of young people being murdered. “I have never seen a community come together at a more crucial time. The community came together as one using the media COTA, CPD, the Sheriff’s Department, city officials and code
enforcement.” In the future, Terry hopes to continue building new block watches and making existing ones stronger. “My whole dream is to have every street in the 12th Precinct covered by a block watch and to have all the block watch groups communicating with each other.” In her 15 years, Terry has not just served the community, but become an honorary member herself. “I don’t know how I can explain how important these community members are to me. They have become my friends and I care for each and every one of them, and it is my job to see that they get the quality of life they deserve.” We are indeed fortunate.

FROM THE PRESIDENT Years ago, while doing some plaster repair at my first home in Olde Towne East, I found the first of many personal links to the past. A piece of lathe was inscribed in pencil “George Thomas, Lather, Fair Avenue, Cols. O. 1891.” We often find these artifacts as we strip wallpaper, gut and rebuild kitchens, and pursue fireplace and chimney repairs. In the tour of that house chalk graffiti remained that read January 7, 1892. Serendipitously, I found those words on January 7, 1985. These discoveries connect us in a tangible way to former residents of our homes and of our neighborhood. Many thousands of people came before us. And even more, many yet unborn, will one day call Olde Towne East their home.

I would like to ask all readers to think about time capsules in a new light. Most of us have left them in our houses to be found by future generations; some subtle, some quite overt. OTENA’s Development Committee is working with various city, state and federal authorities to fund long-lasting improvements for our stretch of Parsons Avenue. With successful negotiation, our Parson’s business district will become a living, working time capsule that will be attractive for years to come.

There are many ways to make community a better place to live, work, play and pray. I would ask that all readers not simply join their civic association, but get involved! We always have many volunteer opportunities; garden cleanup and planting, historic tour of homes assignments, Block Watch activities, website maintenance, etc. Future generations will thank us for what we are able to accomplish today, and tomorrow.
