Thinking of moving in 2018?

Call The Hetherington team to get a jump start on the competition. We’re meeting with sellers right now to get their homes professionally staged and talk about cost effective changes to help them make the most money possible.

We start selling a home weeks before it’s put up for sale.

While most agents start selling a home when they throw a sign in the yard, we’ve designed a plan to generate maximum exposure, build buyer excitement and help you capture the best possible price.

Strategies include sending private notes to other agents, making them aware a desirable home is coming soon. And we work with other agents to get qualified buyers in for a sneak peak before the home is offered for sale. (Buyers love this and often pay more for fear of losing it when it’s offered to the general public).

Our marketing is designed to create a rush of buyer interest and maximize seller profits.

If 2018 involves a move, call us first!

If you’re buying, we know of many homes not yet on the market and can help you find the perfect match.

Recommendations from the Dublin Library October/November 2018 • 5

AGING IN PLACE In this issue of Dublin Life, you will find several articles geared toward our growing aging population.

The timing of this issue comes at a perfect time as the City of Dublin is in the process of launching a comprehensive Aging in Place plan for residents to experience every phase in life to the fullest. “Aging in place” is the ability for individuals to remain in their homes or neighborhoods, safely, independently and comfortably for as long as possible, regardless of age or ability.

Reviewed by the Community Services Advisory Commission and accepted by Dublin City Council, the City’s Aging in Place plan is a strategic priority of City Council as we plan for our city’s future. The plan involves many aspects and future concepts, including mobility and transportation, housing, health and wellness. Partnering with Ohio University College of Health Sciences and Professions, the City of Dublin has been working with nearly 30 agencies and service providers to develop a strategy that allows our residents to live full lives in their later years.

This past spring and summer, we hosted a total of seven Community Conversations for the public to engage in conversation and envision what “aging in Dublin” could look like. We also hosted separate Community Conversations with caregivers to hear their ideas based on their experiences.

Based on these valuable conversations, perceptions and visioning sessions, we will be fine tuning the ways in which

we approach important areas for our aging community in areas such as technology, neighbor-to-neighbor connections and recreation/wellness options.

As we head through the fall and plan for 2019 and beyond, residents will begin to see more education and awareness around the topics of caregiving, aging in place and healthy aging. We’ll also start to see key partnerships emerge with expert practitioners who specialize in helping people navigate through this phase of life.

And there will continue to be opportunity for citizen engagement and discussion, which by far has been one of the most valuable parts of this process.

Helping our residents to age in place comfortably should be all of our responsibility. As we head into the colder months, I encourage you to check up on your neighbors and to make a friendly visit on a regular basis. You could possibly even offer to help with yard work and errands.

Simply being a good neighbor can go a long way in helping us to be a healthy, vibrant and especially caring community where all ages may thrive.

Sincerely,

Dana McDaniel, City Manager

Music, Faith, Love

Founders of the Dublin Singers share life stories and accomplishments

10 • October/November 2018

www.dublinlifemagazine.com

Looking for an experienced local partner to assist you with your mortgage, refinance, or new construction needs?

Faith and music are just some aspects that often bring people together. For Tom and Mary Fran Cassidy, the founders of the Dublin Singers, their story involves a life of love, faith and music, but it all started with a written letter.

Michael Eberhardt, Mortgage Banker NMLS# 187734 c. 614.747.0286 JEberhardt@middlefieldbank.com

Lovely Letters Since childhood, Mary Fran has loved, created and always been surrounded by music. She says her mother was her first and best piano teacher, and her father was a passionate singer.

When the St. Brigid of Kildare conmiddlefieldbank.bank/mortgage • 888.801.1666 gregation opened in the mid-’80s, Mary Fran already knew the priest from her old Serving Central Ohio church in Delaware. So, when the priest was looking for a new organ player, Mary Fran took to the keys.

“I told him that if I could help him with anything to give me a call. Two weeks later he called me,” Mary Fran says. “The rest, as they say, is history.”

For more than 30 years, Mary Fran has been with the congregation, but not just as a talented musician and member. Even though she went to college for English and music education, her experience is vast, and in 1989 she accepted a position with St. Brigid as the director of religious education – a position she held until retireSonia Abuzakhm, M.D. Scott Blair, M.D. Shabana Dewani, M.D. Christopher George, M.D. Andrew Grainger, M.D. Joseph Hofmeister, M.D. Peter Kourlas, M.D. ment in 2015.

Through this position, Mary Fran and Tom met.

In the early ’90s, Tom was working with St. Brigid – specifically Mary Fran – to plan a personal family matter.

12 • October/November 2018

Memorable Moments One of the most significant achievements for many musicians is performing in Carnegie Hall in New York City, and the Dublin Singers can check that off the list.

Since Mary Fran took her previous choir, the Cambridge Singers, to the famous concert hall beforehand with John Rutter’s Cambridge Singers from England, her connections with the venue aided the second time. In 2002, the Dublin Singers performed for the first time at Carnegie Hall singing Rutter’s Magnificat.

“Music has been a part my life, really, all my life,” Mary Fran says.

The group doesn’t always sing in-depth classics though; they also perform holidaythemed, secular, Broadway and classic rock music. There are two concerts held throughout the season: a holiday show and a spring recital.

During the 2011 spring program, Tom performed the wordy 1971 song “American Pie” by Don McLean. And his personal connection with the classic tune is pretty interesting.

During his college career in New York, Tom bartended at a local bar that McLean regularly visited. The two became close, and Tom actually witnessed McLean writ-

ing the convoluted lyrics to “American Pie” on bar napkins.

“I called (McLean) maybe four years ago and said, ‘I really got to know where the levee is,’” Tom says. “And he said, ‘Why do you think it’s so popular today? Because I haven’t given in to any of the crazy things about that song.’”

He never learned the secret. Regardless, Tom had the lyrics down during the concert.

“As you gracefully mature, sometimes your memory doesn’t quite follow,” Tom says. “So, on my finger, I wrote the first letter of each word of each of the verses.

That’s the only way it would click.”

Mary Fran showcases one of her many Dublin Singers scrapbooks. On the page seen above there is memorabilia from the group’s trip to NYC.

Love for Dublin The Cassidys also fundraise for the Dublin Singers at the Dublin Irish Festival, are involved in the choir at St. Brigid. Also at the church, Mary Fran speaks to religious education classes and still plays the organ.

The couple may live in Delaware, but their hearts are undoubtedly split between there and Dublin.

“Dublin is a great community for everything,” Tom says. “But for appreciation of music, it’s been really great.”

“And even though we live in Delaware,” Mary Fran says, “Dublin is a very special place.”

Neighbors in Nature

What you can do to peacefully coexist with the wildlife in Dublin

By Barbara Ray

Is there anything better than fall in Dublin? The leaves are changing to beautiful shades of red, yellow and orange. Pumpkins are ripe for picking. The sound of marching bands fills the crisp autumn air on football Friday nights. And if you keep your eyes open long enough, you might just be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the various animals that become more prominent this time of year.

14 • October/November 2018

Deer White-tailed deer are an Ohio comeback success story. Ohio deer were nearly eradicated from the state in the 1800s.

With no hunting regulations and radical environmental changes due to clear cutting and farming, deer were once seldom seen. Spotting a deer was headline news in local papers. With regulated hunting, reintroduction of deer in the early 1900s and the return of woodlands over time, deer populations have increased tremendously, especially in urban areas where deer are not hunted and there are few natural predators.

White-tailed deer are common throughout Dublin, but the population total is moderate and stable. Ohio’s largest herbivore, white-tails feed on a variety of foods. Depending on the season, their diet may consist of bark, fruits, twigs, acorns and an assortment of plants. Their coloration changes from red tones in the summer to more grey/brown tones in winter.

White-tailed deer rely on stealth to hide themselves. They tend to move slowly and deliberately, blending in with their surroundings. They rely on their speed to escape danger.

White-tailed deer can reach speeds over 30 miles per hour. They are named for their white tail, which signals danger to other deer and tells predators they are leaving. Deer also have an incredible sense of smell, great eyesight and fantastic hearing, all of which help them detect danger.

Rearing one to three young per year, does are more communal and are frequently seen in groups, especially in winter months. Female offspring often stay with their mother for more than a year, but young bucks separate from their mother after about 12 months.

More solitary, bucks start growing antlers in the spring. Antler size has less to do with age than with genetics and health.

Antlers are shed in late winter and are quickly eaten by many small mammals for their high vitamin and nutrient content.

White-tailed deer are beautiful, graceful animals, but they can also cause concern with car strikes and landscape damage being the most common. Attention to deer crossing signs in spring and fall has reduced deer collisions in Dublin from an average of 43 reported collisions per year to fewer than 20 over the past 5 years.

Fox In the fall, it’s normal for adult foxes to hunt and remain active during the daytime.

Juvenile foxes are more active from midMay through July when they can be seen hanging out or playing in yards, on porches or about anywhere in the neighborhood.

www.dublinlifemagazine.com

We get frequent calls about young foxes on front porches who don’t readily run away when approached.

Those foxes were likely raised nearby and do not know to be fearful of humans yet. We recommend hazing them to teach them from a young age to move away from humans.

However, if you see a fox actually approaching people, he may be ill.

There are a number of parasites and disease that may lead to the neurologic changes to cause a wild fox to lose its fear of or even approach humans or other animals it would not normally get near. Most common are severe mange (high parasite load causes anemia and other disorders that affect their brains), high worm or tick loads, distemper, and eosinophilic meningoencephalitis (a type of progressive brain disease that occurs occasionally in foxes who seem to be more susceptible to the toxic effects of worm infestations such as baylisascaris roundworm. Encephalopathy can mimic rabies, distemper or head trauma). All of these are problems in which the fox may not yet appear to be really ill, but behavior changes occur and some of those changes result in abnormal or atypical behavior.

If you see a fox that appears to be injured or severely sick, you should call the Dublin non-emergency police line at 614889-1112. SCRAM Wildlife is dispatched through this office to rescue sick and injured wildlife.

Coyote Coyotes are currently found throughout the U.S., although prior to the 1900s they were generally located west of the Mississippi River. The first sighting of a coyote in Ohio was recorded in 1919 and today this canine can be found in all 88 counties. Highly adaptable, research shows the coyotes can live in most habitats as long as their needs are met. While some wildlife species have avoided developed areas and often decline as a result of man’s expansion, coyotes have greatly succeeded.

Coyotes are more easily seen in winter months because of the lack of vegetation and harsher conditions sometimes force them to hunt during daylight hours. They also look much larger than they actually are because of extremely dense winter coats.

Research conducted throughout central Ohio and the Midwest has revealed that coyotes weigh around 35 pounds on averwww.dublinlifemagazine.com

age. Although this is common knowledge among scientists, many still believe they weigh much more due to their appearance.

The coyote is a nocturnal animal, mostly active during the nighttime and early morning hours. However, when it is less threatened by humans, it will hunt/move from place to place during the day. Coyotes will use sidewalks and other paved surfaces for ease of travelling, so it would not be uncommon to see one trotting down the shared-use paths or on the street.

Considered carnivores, more than half of their diet consists of small mammals including shrews, moles, rabbits and mice.

Plants can also be a significant part of a coyote’s diet. Coyotes will eat fruits, grasses, vegetables, insects and carrion. Ample food can also be found in dumpsters or garbage cans as well as bird feeders, although the majority of coyote will be hunting rodents attracted to these areas rather than the waste or seed itself.

Coyotes are highly unlikely to attack a person unless provoked, threatened or habituated. Coyotes are shy and cautious albeit curious creatures and most often they avoid humans. Across North America, including Canada, there have been fewer than 150 attacks (an average of three per year). All of these attacks have been attributed to coyote that have been hand fed or otherwise associated with humans. Domestic dog attacks are far more common with hundreds happening in Franklin County in any given year. Some humans have reported being followed by a

coyote. However, most often it was when they were walking a pet.

Hazing is a great way to safely remind coyotes that they should steer clear of humans. Throw pebbles or items in the direction of the coyote, spray water from a garden hose, wave your arms, yell and look as big as you can. Never leave before the coyote. Wait for it to leave first.

Coyotes are protective, instinctual and opportunists. They will be attracted to residential yards if a food source is available. Birdbaths, feeders, outside pet bowls, trash, unpicked fruits and vegetable can attract an assortment of unwanted wildlife. Keeping yards free of these items can be helpful in deterring coyotes.

Never let small pets outside unattended. Not only coyotes but also large birds of prey, domestic dogs and automobiles can all be hazardous to our pets. If you are walking your dog through an area where you suspect coyotes are present, carry pepper spray, vinegar in a spray bottle or even a walking stick. Furthermore, never let a dog off leash in these areas. Studies have shown that dogs on a leash six feet or less in length are far less likely to be attacked due to their proximity to humans.

You can learn much more about these animals and more by heading to Dublin OhioUSA.gov/nature.

Senior Independence Equals Senior Health Diminished independence can have real consequences for older adults The 30,000-Foot Overview Today, 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65. Approximately 10,000 more will reach this milestone every day for the next 19 years. According to the Pew Research Center, while just 13 percent of citizens are 65 and older, by the year 2030 when all Boomers reach age 65, nearly 18 percent of the country’s population will be at least that age.

A deeper dive into Pew polls highlights the fact that the typical Boomer believes that old age does not begin until age 72, and 61 percent relate that they feel, on average, nine years younger than her or his chronological age.

A Narrower Perspective According to the 2017 U.S. Census Bureau, people 65 years and over constituted 16.7 percent of Ohio’s overall population. An aging population presents a unique set of opportunities for communities. Chief among these is senior health and what measurable ac-

Creating Beautiful Smiles since 1998 tions can be taken within a community to ensure that all older adults have the opportunity to reap the benefits of an independent, active lifestyle.

Eroded Independence The erosion of an older adult’s independence brings with it a host of health and well-being consequences, according to the National Institutes for Health.

Eroded independence can trigger depression which, in turn, can further complicate and intensify chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes and increase the risk of stroke.

With nearly two million of the state’s citizens aged 65 and older, how exactly does this relate to Dublin? The answer is that the community is ahead of the curve.

Dublin Encourages Senior Adults to Participate An active life generally equates to a longer life, which is why this community encourages older adults to participate in the myriad programs made available through the Dublin Community Senior Citizens organization.

“Inactive seniors lead to more medical issues,” says Dolores Morris, advisory board member for the Dublin Community Senior Citizens organization (DCSC).

“They provide activities at the center for socialization, physical activities and speakers to broaden your horizons and stimulate your mind.”

The senior center boasts a wide-ranging repository of activities. Talks on health, fitness and other programs help seniors to stay mentally and physically sharp, ultimately maintaining their independence.

However, most seniors won’t keep active unless they can interact with other seniors, according to Pat Breading, treasurer of DCSC. “It’s important for seniors to keep active so they can be part of a vibrant community – to contribute their talents,” he says.

The group’s mission statement – to provide its members with opportunities to www.dublinlifemagazine.com

enjoy fellowship and pursue interests in a wide range of recreational, educational and social activities, and to serve the community – is crucial to mitigate the negative impact that eroded independence can have.

Expanding current relationships and creating an environment that fosters new ones is key for Bob Seredick, vice president of DCSC. “We should team up with a partner or partners to keep going, and feed off one another,” he says. “More seniors need to get out of their element and come to more senior activities at the senior center. We need to do more things that will get people to know others.”

Vibrancy is reflected in the wide-ranging programs offered by the Dublin senior center. Have you ever been birding? Not only is it an activity that encourages physical activity, but the fall season coincides with migrant waterfowl that can be seen at numerous locations around the Alum Creek and Hoover reservoirs. Species such as the rare buff-breasted sandpiper and American avocet can be spotted in the area.

“It just can’t get any more vibrant than seeing all of the senior adults participating in these activities,” says Wanda Kamler, senior adult program supervisor for the City of Dublin.

Franklin County Office on Aging In Ohio, disability in advanced age is comparable to most other states. Approximately 35.2 percent of those 65 and older have a disability, compared to 36.3 percent of seniors nationwide.

The Office on Aging provides services designed specifically to counteract and combat eroded independence. For dependent adults, the Franklin County Senior Options assists residents of Franklin County aged 60 and older in maintaining their independence through services such as home-delivered meals, emergency response systems and minor home repair.

With 10.6 percent of seniors in the state identified as smokers, the ninth highest share in the nation, and an obesity rate of 29.7 percent, Ohio is not the healthiest when it comes to senior health. To reflect this reality, the Caregiver Support Program supplements caregivers of senior adults on a short-term basis. In-home respite, adult day care, caregiver counseling and durable medical equipment are just some of what can be utilized by senior adults and their families.

PATHS

for Pups The Dublin Barkery benefits local pups, Emerald Campus students alike

By Amanda DePerro 20 • October/November 2018

www.dublinlifemagazine.com

Dublin City Schools’ Hound-Tastic Treats: the Dublin Barkery isn’t like other bakeries. First, this bakery is catered to man’s best friend. Second, the barkery is run almost entirely by nontraditional students in the Emerald Campus’ PATHS (Postsecondary Access to Transition after High School) Program.

The barkery started in fall 2014 when students in the PATHS, then LIFE, Program began to bake dog treats for their Canine Companion dog, Rosa. The program really took off in spring 2015 when it was awarded a grant from the Dublin Educators’ Association and, later, from the Adam Stuart Linhart Memorial Fund through the Columbus Foundation. Over the four years since its opening, the barkery has gone from a simple classroom operation to having 10 sites spread across Dublin’s four middle schools, three high schools and three postsecondary programs. The goal of the PATHS Program, and the barkery itself, is to hone the skills of students with different abilities and help them work toward a more independent life.

“What we do in our program is find different life skills and employability skills to help the people in our program develop,” says Joshua Graham, PATHS Program instructor. “For my students specifically, the thing I really like (about the barkery) is the social and communication aspect.”

Students are assigned to various tasks based on their abilities. PATHS students are those who graduated but have deferred their diplomas in order to easier transition into what comes after high school.

That may mean learning personal hygiene, forming and maintaining personal relationships, and other academic skills like money management. When it comes to the barkery the lessons are invaluable, especially considering PATHS students often make deliveries to the other Dublin schools themselves.

“The kind of thing that’s gotten added is the piece of going to the high schools, communicating with the other students there and communicating with the lead teacher,” says Graham. “I think that’s a cool thing; getting to go back to their high schools, seeing people they remember, seeing people www.dublinlifemagazine.com

they know. It’s built a great community for them throughout the district rather than just their own high school.”

For one student in particular, doing the grocery shopping for the barkery has even helped him create habits for his personal shopping.

“We set up a consistent path we follow every time we do the barkery shopping. …

Instead of just scouring the signs, because reading signs is not a strong point of his, he always follows the same path,” says Graham. “That’s something he can do when he’s not getting school services and help him be more independent, which is the whole goal: reach maximum life skills.”

The PATHS Program started in its own building, but with the start of the 2018-19

school year, it became part of the new Emerald Campus. This move brings new opportunity for the PATHS students to connect with others at the Emerald Campus, which also houses those in the Dublin academies including the business, biomedical and teachers varieties.

In just the first week of the Emerald Campus’ opening, a Coffman student involved in one of the Dublin academies Student dropping off supplies to the front office of came downstairs and intro- Jerome High School. duced herself to Graham. She was interested, she said, in com“That was my favorite first week. I realing to the PATHS classroom a few times each week to work with Graham’s students. ized that there are kids out there that want to continue working with our individuals,” says Graham. “Coming here has been eye opening. … How can we get our students more involved with their peers?”

At the end of the day, the barkery’s main goal is to help PATHS students become better prepared for life after high school and, as a result, be more independent.

Graham hopes that, after seeing the work PATHS students are putting in to the barkery and other programs, more community members will be receptive to working with people with different abilities. This means not just giving these individuals something to do, but utilizing their unique skills and embracing their strengths.

“The big piece of our program is helping our students integrate into the community, and it takes a village to do that,” says Graham. “We can do that in our program, but everybody in the community has to do that and open their doors to our individuals as well. That’s the big thing I want to see: more integration in communities for individuals with differing abilities.”

Student Spotlight

Finishing Strong Jerome senior keeps a hefty schedule before graduation

By Maria Lubanovic

Everything from applying to the University of Notre Dame to becoming the president of French Club, Keener’s senior schedule in and out of the classroom looks packed. He is one of the co-leaders of the board for the Celtic Advisory Program, or CAP, a program that helps to mentor freshmen. Keener was the secretary of CAP last year and won Mentor of the Month last September.

CAP is set up as a way for freshman to get not only academic help, but social help as well. They are able to ask the mentors questions that they may not feel comfortable asking teachers. From a distance it might look like any other study hall, but it’s a place for creating community. Last Halloween, CAP groups dressed up in themed costumes, anywhere from Mario Kart to the periodic table. On Teacher Appreciation Day, freshmen wrote thank you letters to their teachers during their advisory time. It’s not all fun and games, however. CAP mentors must apply to the program through an extensive application process, and are trained at the beginning and middle of the year to ensure everyone is on track.

“For CAP, I am looking forward to a few of the events that we do like the freshman tailgate, where CAP hosts the freshmen and has a dunk tank and face paint,” Keener says. “Then the student section leaders lead the freshmen and other students into the stands for the first time and it’s meant to be a big social event.”

30 • October/November 2018

Underneath Keener’s passion for helping others is another impressive skill: Keener has played violin since he was 4 years old.

The interest all started at daycare.

“It was an out-of-her-house daycare kind of thing, and (the babysitter) played the violin,” Keener says. “When I was really young I was fascinated by this because she would pull this out for naptime and I’d be like ‘Oh my gosh, what is this thing, how do I do it?’ So, I started taking lessons from a really young age and ever since then I’ve been really enjoying it.”

More recently, Keener and his sister learned Irish fiddling, and began to perform at the Dublin Irish Festival in 2013.

They performed on the radio and on FOX 28’s Good Day Columbus.

After 13 years, Keener still plays violin and uses it as a way to relieve stress. He is working on building a custom violin in his free time. He is also involved in a group called Caroling Strings, a small orchestra that plays for nursing homes during the holiday season. Though he is clearly a talented violinist, he has aspirations beyond the strings.

“I don’t think that I would get any sort of education in music,” Keener says, “but

it’s definitely something that I’m going to keep with me, because it’s a great stress reliever. Also knowing that performing gives others joy, if ever I decide to go back to the Irish fest, I can pull that out.”

Instead of pursuing music, Keener thinks he wants to become a lawyer someday as a way to help those who cannot help themselves in the legal system. When it comes to college, he says, he has filled out the common application and is hoping for the best.

“I’m looking at Notre Dame and The Ohio State University as my top two choices,” Keener says. “Notre Dame if I can make it; OSU is a bit more realistic.”

Between CAP, French Club, college applications and playing violin, how is Kenner finding balance this year?

“Really, I don’t know,” Keener says. “All of my classes are AP or IB, with the exception of CAP and chamber orchestra, so it’s going to be a challenge. Probably a lot of late nights, but hopefully I’ll be able to power through.”

Storyteller Series WITH AMANDA DEPERRO

The Persistence of Dublin Former city council member looks back on her years of service

Dublin Life’s Storyteller Series focuses on the people who make Dublin great – people who have made improving the community a part of their life, people who have been able to call Dublin home for a long time and people who have watched Dublin evolve over the years.

The Storyteller Series tells the history of Dublin through his or her eyes, and sheds light on what living in Dublin was like decades ago. With the help of these special people, Dublin has undoubtedly become a better place.

How it Began If Cathy Boring had to be described in one word, that word would be persistent.

That persistence was obvious when, in the middle of her photo shoot for the cover of this issue, a torrential downpour soaked all of us and she sat on the bench in her back yard, smiling, until our photographer announced he’d gotten the shot. It was obvious when she stopped me after we’d spent hours talking at Vaso in Bridge Park to ask me, “So, this article is going to be about Dublin, not me, right?” It was obvious when she described her 20 years of service on the Dublin City Council with passion, excitement and an air of nostalgia.

Boring was born in Dayton, and moved to Westerville after high school to attend Otterbein University. She wanted to double major in math and business, which was seen as a lofty dream for a woman, to Boring’s surprise. When she floated the idea to her adviser, she was told, “We don’t teach typing here.” She continued instead with a major just in mathematics, and after graduating from Otterbein, she moved jobs in programming until meeting her now-husband, Michael Summers. The pair each had a daughter from their previous marriages, Michelle and Rachel; and would have another child together after marrying, Mark.

After Summers and Boring married 40 years ago, they wanted to raise their children in a small community with good schools. Dublin fit the bill.

Greener in Dublin When Mark was born Boring began to stay home, becoming a self-proclaimed Dublin groupie. She attended school board meetings the second and fourth Mondays of each month, and city council meetings the first and third. When Dublin

Boring was involved in city council as a citizen, but this pushed her into a career on Dublin City Council.

She recalls her first campaign, when she ran against former Dublin mayor and Storyteller Marilee Chinnici-Zuercher.

On the night before the election, she was knocking on doors, canvassing in the pouring rain. Though she would lose the city council seat to Chinnici-Zuercher, and instead take the east ward representative seat, her efforts didn’t go unnoticed.

“Later, I ran into someone in the store and she came up to me and said, ‘I voted for you,’” says Boring. “She said, ‘You know, when I saw you in the rain and water dripping off your hat, I thought, man, she really must want it.’”

After her first four years on city council, she was reelected four consecutive times. www.dublinlifemagazine.com

Of the 20 years she spent on council, the most fun she had was when she served on the board of planning and zoning with Chinnici-Zuercher serving as chair.

“The thing about Dublin City Council and planning and zoning is there was tremendous educational opportunity for me,” says Boring. “When you look back on it, you don’t remember the bad things. … You leave the job and you go, ‘Wow.’” Planning a Community As councilmember when Dublin was being planned, Boring was afforded the unique opportunity to help decide the type of city it would become.

From how Dublin was laid out to the colors of front doors on homes, Boring played a key role in decision making.

With council, she traveled to other communities, listened to speakers and researched standards – all to ensure Cathy Boring cuts the cake during Dublin’s 10th birthday as a city in 1997.

Dublin was a high-quality city.

Boring brings out the 2007 Dublin Community Plan – essentially Dublin’s Boring doesn’t mince words when discussbible. The nearly 350-page plan, which ing how challenging it was to create, she is can be read in its entirety on www.dublin proud to have been a part of it. ohiousa.gov, lays out everything from land “People really came together and disuse and community character to transpor- sected everything – just everything.

Boring. “This, to me, is probably the greatest thing we could have to implement our standards. You see how thick it is, and it covers everything.”

Though she left council in 2013, Boring is still involved in the city she loves most. She volunteers at the Dublin Food Pantry, is a big supporter of the Dublin Arts Council, and can be spotted around Bridge Park and the Dublin Community Recreation Center. She enjoys spending time with her five grandchildren, and she and Summers attend New Hope Church in Powell.

Of course, Boring’s contributions to Dublin from her time on council will be enjoyed for generations. Among Boring’s passion projects are the Emerald Fields park (which she calls her “Field of Dreams”), requirement of green spaces in Dublin’s neighborhoods and Bridge Park. Bridge Park, she says, posed a particular challenge because, despite council providing many outlets to discuss the project, council fielded comments from citizens who felt they were out of the loop. Now seeing the success of Bridge Park – apparent as we sit in Vaso, which is packed and so loud that I worry my recorder isn’t picking up Boring’s voice – I ask if she feels vindicated.

“There’s no vindication; it’s just really exciting. I hope people remember that I was a part of this; I came from point A to point Z,” she says. “I’m proud of that, it’s personal growth. How could I not be proud?”

Transforming an Attic The Cleary Company transforms boarded up attic into modern bathroom

Who would have thought to turn an empty attic space into a fully functioning guest bathroom? John and Kelly Lee were looking to upgrade their house with a new bathroom and found an unlikely solution with help from the Cleary Company.

The Lees had no idea the attic space even existed until taking a closer look at the roofline above the garage. They were thrilled upon realizing a new space could be carved out of the unused attic.

“While looking at our house one day, we noticed the roofline of our garage was fairly large,” says John. “Upon examining the attic space above the garage, we noticed a relatively large area that could connect to two of our rooms, the study and guest room.”

The Lees were ecstatic they wouldn’t have to tear down any other rooms to get the bathroom they wanted for their children and guests. The change is drastic. What was once an unfinished attic has become a sleek and modern bathroom with tons of storage space.

“That was one of the benefits of creating a bathroom from the ground up,” John says. “We were able to add extra storage that could be used as a mini linen closet with drawers.”

The shower also maximizes space with a built-in shelf. The Lees were satisfied with the result, as the bathroom is more accessible to both guests and their children, who no longer have to share the same space.

“There’s no longer a struggle to share one shower among many people,” John says.

They were thrilled with the Cleary Company, and say they would definitely recommend them to others looking to renovate.

“We really liked how responsive they were in terms of communication,” John says. “Our project manager, John Coleman, was also great and we felt like he was a strong advocate for us throughout the whole process. He was professional, thorough and honest.”

A Community Connected through Bread The Dublin Arts Council’s B.R.E.A.D! Festival honors diversity This is the third year for the B.R.E.A.D! Festival, and it’s an incredible opportunity to celebrate the many cultures in our community. The demographics at Dublin City Schools are rapidly changing with over 1,400 English as a Second Language students speaking more than 60 different languages. Through food and interactive experiences, we can enjoy learning something new about our neighbors and the nations they hail from.

Devayani Puranik has been involved in the B.R.E.A.D! Festival since the planning stages, and loved the idea of having cultural booths in addition to the vendor booths to represent and educate the public.

“Since Dublin is home to a large Indian population, my The B.R.E.A.D! Festival, which was formerly held in friends and I decided to host Historic Dublin, bolsters connectedness among people Glimpses of India with handsof all backgrounds, cultures and even ages. on activities,” says Puranik.

The booth includes Henna designThere will be forms of bread and baked goods from multiple countries, but the ers who paint decorations on palms, acronym actually stands for Bake, Recon- calligraphy cards in Hindi script with nect, Educate, make Art, celebrate Diver- visitors’ names, dance and percussion sity. So you can expect to “break bread” instrument demonstrations, and bread with others in the community while you rolling and tasting.

“We display fun artifacts, currency and experience international cuisine, a fair trade marketplace, and traditional music, information about India, plus sari draping with bindi and jewelry,” says Puranik. art, and dance from multiple countries.

If you are wondering whether you can eat bread at the B.R.E.A.D! Festival on Oct. 14 at Coffman Park, you aren’t alone. I have been asked that several times.

42 • October/November 2018

The sari is the five- to nine-yard-long garment that Indian women wear, while the bindi is the red dot placed on the forehead in the Hindu religion. Puranik recalls a fun experience last year when they draped a 5-year-old girl in a shimmery sari, gave her a bindi and jewelry to try on, and painted a henna design on her hands.

“It was such an overwhelming experience for her that she started to cry out of excitement and said, ‘I feel royal like a queen and I’m going to rule the world!’”

Omar D’Angelo is the CEO of Barroluco Argentine Comfort Food, which includes catering services and a mobile restaurant.

D’Angelo has brought his food truck to the B.R.E.A.D! Festival for the last two years and is looking forward to doing so again.

“My parents and sister work with me so it’s a real family business and we love the family-friendly environment of this festival,” says D’Angelo.

Authentic Argentinian specialties will be offered such as empanadas, which are meat- or vegetable-stuffed pies with hard boiled eggs, onions, olives and spices blended together.

“Every empanada is made by hand and individually stamped with our personalized Barroluco press,” says D’Angelo.

You can also try a Latin American version of paella that has saffron, onions, peppers, meat or vegetable, but no seafood.

Accompanying sauces include the chimichurri, which is like a pesto with parsley, roasted red pepper, garlic and olive oil, and www.dublinlifemagazine.com

the salsa golf sauce, which is creamy with mayonnaise, ketchup and spices. Kids and adults will love the churros, a fried donut treat, rolled in sugar with chocolate or dulce de leche. Barroluco is also bringing back the caramelized bourbon bacon churros for a second year.

“We love when visitors eat their churros so fast that they come back to buy more,” www.dublinlifemagazine.com

says D’Angelo, laughing. “More than anything, we love making Argentinian food and making other people happy.”

interactive mural that the public helped color in with chalk.

“It was amazing to see people of all ages get down on the pavement to draw and create art together,” says Frambes.

This year, Frambes will switch gears a bit with a new experience that she calls “the opportunity of a lifetime.” A group of monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery in India will be visiting Dublin to create a beautiful and meaningful five-by-five-foot sand mandala over the course of several days.

Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning sacred cosmogram, and this particular mandala is called Avalokiteśvara, or Buddha of compassion, which is significant as the festival aims to bring cultures together.

As part of the B.R.E.A.D! Festival, the monks will train Frambes to use their sand tools so she, in turn, can lead the public in creating its own separate public sand art piece.

“It will be incredible to learn from the originators of this ancient art and share the knowledge with festival attendees,” says Frambes.

The design will incorporate an image of the new pedestrian bridge that will connect Historic Dublin to Bridge Park.

“I want it to be multi-faceted with an image of the bridge representing the connecting of old and new Dublin as well as bridging our worlds and cultures as a community,” says Frambes.

You can meditate with the monks and watch them create the colorful mandala from noon to 6 p.m. Oct. 10 after the opening ceremony, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Oct. 1113 and noon to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14. When the mandala is complete, the sand will be swept away, signifying change and the impermanence of life. Visitors can take a bag of sand home as a blessing and approximately one cup of sand is reserved for the final ceremony.

The monks will lead a procession from the pavilion to the Post Road bridge over the stream. The audience will gather on the grass below the bridge and the monks will perform an Environmental Protection Agency-approved closing ceremony, culminating in the distribution of the cup of sand into the stream to distribute the compassion and healing energies into the world.

Colleen D’Angelo is a freelance writer who lives in Dublin with her husband, three children and several small animals.

She enjoys playing tennis, walking the Dublin bike paths and traveling.
