rom a local produce route in the 1930s to an auto body shop today, the family name “Rife” has been seen in the Tri-Village area for many years.

It first appeared on the wagons and trucks used by the Charles Rife family to deliver produce in central Ohio. Then it appeared on the market Charles and his son, Donald, opened at 1417 W. Fifth Ave. in the early 1940s.

Don Jr. thinks Rife’s Autobody is a special company.

“We practice what we preach when it comes to repairs and customer satisfaction,” he says. “Eighty-six percent of our business is repeat or by referrals. Statistics show that a car owner averages a collision requiring a body shop once every seven years. The Rife family wants Rife’s Autobody to be here to serve their needs for many years to come.”

GRANDVIEW

By Katie Ellington

New Kids on the Block

Balboa, a So-Cal inspired restaurant, opened in May.

O

utside of the Tri-Village area, Grandview Heights is becoming well-known as an up-and-coming destination for dining and entertainment.

While the city has enjoyed an influx of opportunity and expansion due to new developments like Grandview Yard, the older parts of Grandview have not lost their charm. As Grandview continues to expand, the beloved Grandview Avenue continues to attract customers and business owners alike.

“Grandview has always had appeal,” says Brian Swanson, who recently opened a new restaurant on Grandview Avenue. “Grandview Avenue is right in the center of Grandview Heights. It’s got that quaint neighborhood feel to it that you can’t recreate.”

When properties along Grandview Avenue became available, Swanson didn’t hesitate. In May, he opened Balboa, a SoCal inspired restaurant serving taco bowls, short rib skewers and more than 100 different tequilas, margaritas and craft beers.

He also purchased the Grandview Café, which he plans to reopen by September.

“We’re doing some major renovations, so it’s taking some time,” he says. “But I think it’ll be worth the wait.”

10

Swanson says the addition of the Grandview Yard development across town has actually benefited the businesses along Grandview Avenue. The Yard is drawing plenty of job seekers to the area and, he says, when people get out of work, they head to the heart of Grandview Heights to walk around enjoy the small-town charm that the street has to offer.

Grandview Avenue is home to more than 20 eateries and a diverse array of shops in a mile-long stretch, making it easy to walk from place to place.

“People want to walk around, hit a couple different spots and make a night of it instead of just heading to one destination and going home,” says Swanson. “You can grab some dinner at the Avenue, grab some ice cream at Jeni’s and then head to our patio for drinks.”

With the recent re-opening of the Grandview Theatre, moviegoers can also head to downtown Grandview to see the latest blockbuster or indie film.

Eric Brembeck, the owner of Clintonville’s movie theaterdraft house combo Studio 35, expressed interest in buying in the theater over a year ago. He began renovations in December and acquired a second storefront in order to create the new Grandview Theater & Drafthouse.

Brembeck wanted Grandview Theater & Drafthouse to be a place where people could gather and enjoy each other’s company. As with Studio 35, guests can order food and drinks to July/August 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

eat in the theater or the auditorium. The single-screen theater features a bar and serves pizza from Panzera’s.

“That way, you don’t have to see a movie to come in and participate,” he says. “And you can hang out afterwards and talk about the movie instead of just leaving once it’s over.”

For the general manager of the Avenue Steak Tavern, Kristen Luff, Grandview Avenue’s friendly, neighborhood feel is the best part of the street.

“The thing that I love most about the area is being part of a community that supports local business. The people here have been so welcoming,” says Luff.

The Avenue Steak Tavern opened in February and offers a classic steakhouse menu and casual neighborhood tavern feel with elegant 1920s style décor.

“We have built relationships with so many guests and local business owners in just a few short months,” says Luff.

“The area continues to grow and thrive and it’s very exciting to be a part of the neighborhood.”

Diving In Olympic silver medalist has roots in Upper Arlington

B

efore Abby Johnston was an Olympic silver medalist, she was an Upper Arlington resident who had a passion for sports.

While Johnston would eventually break into diving, she started off as a gymnast at about 4 years old.

“I was trying to do everything my older sister did,” Johnston says. “I would

go to gymnastics, but I’d also be on the diving board (at the gym).”

Johnston eventually suffered injuries that would put an end to her stint in gymnastics, but says once she picked up diving, she fell in love right away – and excelled just as quickly. She participated on the Upper Arlington High School diving team, and with the US Elite Diving Academy, which trained at The Ohio State University.

Johnston started diving at 13. By 15, she qualified for the national team, USA Diving.

The buzz for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London began about two years before the actual games, Johnston says.

“You have your first opportunity to qualify for your country, and the next opportunity is the World Cup, which are both high-pressure competitions,” Johnston says. “You just hope you’ll be the one to return. The last eight months or year before the Olympics is when the training gets very serious and the competition is higher stakes.”

At 22, Johnston made it to the London Summer Olympics for diving.

The hardest part of gearing up for the Olympics, Johnston says, was not knowing whether or not she’d make the cut or if the sacrifices she made would be worth it in the long run.

“There were definitely times I would’ve rather stayed home or go on a weekend trip with friends instead of getting out of bed at 5:30 a.m. every morning,” she says. “I was weighing that against the possibility of not making the team.

That was unsettling. On the other hand, I was competing and training and pushing myself physically to a limit I didn’t know could even exist. That was really rewarding, and it’s what I love about the sport.”

Her training paid off. At 22 years old, Johnston made it to the 2012 Summer Olympics.

“I did some sightseeing, but I mostly tried to work,” Johnston says, adding that she also spent a lot of time attending the other athletic events. “You can’t relive watching those incredible competitions July/August 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

Why pay $2000-$3000 in closing costs when you can pay as little as $500+ recording and courier fees?

“I was pretty bashful when people brought it up,” she says. “I was superstitious about it and didn’t like to talk about it.”

But Johnston did make it up to the podium. She and her partner, Kelci Bryant, won the silver medal in the synchronized 3m springboard event.

Johnston graduated from Duke University in 2013, and is now studying medicine at the university with an expected graduation in May 2018. In the near future, she’d like to have a career in emergency medicine.

Though she’s living in North Carolina, Johnston says she comes home to Upper Arlington during the holidays, and sometimes during the weekends to visit some of her favorite spots around town.

“I love First Watch in Kingsdale (Shopping Center),” Johnston says. “That’s my favorite spot to go to when I’m home with my friends. I used to ride my bike to the Graeter’s Ice Cream on Lane Avenue all the time. And, of course, the tradition and camaraderie that goes with OSU football games and the Buckeyes.”

Johnston says her parents were her greatest influence and inspiration growing up.

“The greatest thing they’ve ever done or said to me is that they’re proud of me and amazed at what I’ve done,” Johnston says. “I can be pretty hard on myself, so and races. I would go to as many events as their support was really helpful to me.”

It will attract visitors to Columbus and make Columbus a better place in which to live, all of which will directly and materially benefit not only the members of the club, but the community at large.”

The club’s history and place in the community are visible from the moment one approaches its entrance.

“The stone wall that surrounds the club grounds today was the stone wall for the Miller Farm that kept the sheep and cattle on the property,” says Greg Wolf, the club’s general manager.

Wolf sees the club and Upper Arlington as one and the same. “(Scioto’s golf course) was one of the first courses in the country that was designed as the hub of a community that was to follow,” says Wolf. “The club and the com- Bobby Jones Jr. receives the trophy from USGA President munity have been incredible partners, each H.C.

n addition to the nearly 100 events that it hosts every year, the Scioto Country Club will host two more in the coming months, unlike any others in its storied existence: The U.S. Senior Open golf tournament and the club’s 100th Anniversary Black Tie Centennial Gala.

For local residents and members of the club, this will be a summer to remember.

Scioto Country Club was founded in 1916 by four men: Samuel Prescott Bush (grandfather and great-grandfather of 41st President George H.W. Bush and 43rd President George W. Bush, respectively), Dr. James Hamill, W.K. Lanman and Butler Sheldon. Dr. Hamill was the club’s first president, and when the club was founded, he said, “Our club, in time, will become one of the most important social centers of the community, and will constitute one of the

years. From Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis to the Rev. Billy Graham, Perry Como and Bob Hope, the club has hosted many of America’s favorite personalities.

Adding to the aforementioned presidential connection, Ohioan and 29th U.S. President Warren G. Harding played golf at Scioto on the day of his election (after voting, of course): Nov. 2, 1920.

The club’s golf history runs the deepest, so it is only appropriate that in this centennial celebration year, it would host the U.S. Senior Open. Scioto is one of only seven golf courses in the U.S. that have hosted five different major competitions, starting with the 1926 U.S. Open, won by golfing legend Bobby Jones; and followed by the 1931 Ryder Cup, 1950 PGA Championship, 1968 U.S. Amateur and 1986 U.S. Senior Open.

Scioto is also where one of golf’s greatest players, and local icon, Jack Nicklaus, learned the game under the watchful eye of legendary teaching professional Jack Grout.

Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer have staged exhibition matches for charity at the club.

As if hosting the tournament isn’t enough, this year’s Senior Open holds increased significance because two of the sport’s most popular modern players have committed to playing in the event: Fred Couples and John Daly. Both are certain to have some of the largest galleries during the tournament. Daly, who turned 50 this year and thus met the qualifying age, will be playing in his first Senior Open.

In addition to the long golf history of the club, there is a rich aquatics history at the club as well. Mike Peppe, the famous Ohio State University swimming and diving coach, started the club’s aquatics program in July/August 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

1938. Many divers throughout the country gravitated to Peppe’s program, and “they would work at the club in the summer time so they could train at Scioto,” says Wolf.

The club endured some hardship over the years too, such as a large fire in 1951 that destroyed nearly two-thirds of the clubhouse, but never anything it couldn’t overcome.

While its member parties, speaker series dinners, wine dinners and carnival days are certain to be enjoyable this year, nothing will likely compare to the centennial celebration in September and the Senior Open in August.

One hundred years later, Dr. Hamill’s vision has proven true. Scioto has been an integral part of the community’s social fabric, as its local and national reputation can attest. While enjoying the moment this year, the club keeps an eye on the future, too.

“The club continues to modify its strategic plan on a yearly basis to keep current and make sure that we are not only a club for our current members, but also one for our future members,” says Wolf.

Empathy in Education

Grandview and UA schools encourage and emphasize service learning

ot all learning happens inside the classroom.

Grandview Heights and Upper Arlington schools have a long history of implementing service learning into the school days in hopes of helping students learn in a more hands-on way – all while giving back to the community.

“Our goal as a district is to have every student involved in a high-quality service learning program every year, and that’s a big challenge,” says Jeanne Gogolski, who has served as Upper Arlington’s career development and service-learning coordinator since 2002.

Gogolski works with teachers to brainstorm service learning ideas and help them plan events, and provides other resources such as transportation or funds She says there’s a fine line between from her own budget. community service and service learning.

Students working at Heart to Heart Food Pantry July/August 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

Both Upper Arlington and Grandview Heights school districts have worked hard at implementing service learning into the schools’ curriculum.

Service learning has a stronger emphasis on preparation and reflection, as well as tying it into the school’s curriculum.

“Service learning is really a teaching strategy that connects real-world activity to what is being taught in the classroom.

It makes learning relevant,” Gogolski says.

To illustrate what life is like for people who don’t have immediate access to clean water, UA elementary students took part in a “water walk,” in which they carried gallons of water while raising funds to build a well in a needy area. Older students wrote a grant and requested donations to make sack lunches for the homeless, which they then assembled and distributed. Some students also interviewed veterans at local nursing homes in an effort to learn more about history.

Service learning is a relatively new and growing program for Grandview Heights Schools.

5 STAR FACILITY

Congratulations to Darby Glenn for being ranked as a 5 Star Facility by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.

Fifth grade math teacher Roni Pettit says it’s a cause that Superintendent Andy Culp is passionate about.

In summer 2015, teachers from each building in the district were sent to training through the “Growing Together” Network, where they learned about incorporating service learning into preexisting Jones Middle School students collect stories from veterans for a social studies class curriculum.

Pettit and Jill Walker, who teaches fifth grade science, attended the workshops and brought their ideas back for service learning at Edison Intermediate and Larson Middle schools.

They decided to implement the service projects in small groups, Halloween candy to send to troops, as well with a staff member meeting with about as making birthday bags with cake supplies, two students from each grade. Activities in- decorations and toys. cluded sending cards and collecting leftover The staff and students were able to see the effect the projects had on the students when, after assembling bags of toiletries and mats for the homeless, they were invited to come together and share their feelings on the event. Some of the children shared personal information, such as their families being on food stamps.

“It was very powerful,” Walker says At the end of the year, school administrators took note of the causes students indicated they felt passionate about. They hope to pursue those passions in the coming school year.

“We’re definitely looking for bigger and better, but we feel good about what we did this year,” Pettit says.

Opening Up

2252 Abington Rd. was featured in NARI’s 2016 Spring Home Improvement Showcase.

Renovations give Abington Road house some breathing room The renovations to the foyer opened up the space and allowed each room to become many small parts of a larger whole. Previously, the rooms were separate and removed from one another, and the entryways were cramped and closed the home off.

The colors used in the home – primarily white, cream and browns – were key in the renovation. Prior to Nicholson Builders, the home featured a lot of green that was outdated. Nicholson Builders freshened up the home. The cabinets aren’t technically white, however, and have an understated glazing, which adds a different layer to the cabinetry. “It adds a subtle warmth and depth to what could be a more stark and institutional white,” says architect John Nicholson. “The glaze is really important.”

rior to renovation, the house that sits at 2252 Abington Rd. was cramped.

Brian Miller and Patricia Teach’s guests would enter a closed foyer, both walls almost entirely closed off from the dining room and living room on either side.

The staircase was only open on one side of the foyer, and the only way to enter the living and dining rooms was through two narrow, 42-inch entryways. The kitchen was much smaller, its entryway tight.

The goal, says architect John Nicholson, was to open up the home. However, the owners were somewhat resistant to the idea.

“Every design is truly a unique result of problem solving,” says Nicholson of Nicholson Builders. Nicholson Builders uses threedimensional modeling and rendering in order to display what exactly the home will look like after renovation; this technology is what convinced the homeowners.

“It takes away the anxiety of it not having been their idea, and allows them to kind of embrace others’ ideas more easily,” Nicholson says.

Although the home was renovated in its entirety, the kitchen posed a special challenge, what with its walls being used for wirJuly/August 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

water lines, heating, cooling and then structural modifications.”

Additionally, Nicholson Builders bumped out the kitchen to make it more spacious and added a window seat. It replaced the tile floors with hardwood and brought in new cabinetry. Everything was catered to the homeowner, down to the interiors of the cabinets, which were made to function with the way the homeowners utilize the kitchen.

What makes the home really special is the “seamless integration of all the design details and the colors, the furniture, the fabrics, the wall coverings; all of the interior,” Nicholson says.

“Everything just flows so perfectly together. And that is a little bit different.”

The detailing in the kitchen backsplash was also important, and Nicholson did not want to mar the tiling’s aesthetic with outlets. “There are no switches or outlets in the backsplash, so it accentuates the beauty of the tile,” says Nicholson.

ing and mechanical components. Nicholson Builders demolished walls and changed entry points to the kitchen in order to open up the kitchen to the rest of the home, and rewired to the second floor the electrical that previously resided in the kitchen walls.

“The major challenges were the mechanical systems,” says Nicholson. “Every primary mechanical system serving the second floor had to be relocated: plumbing, hot

In order to maintain design cohesiveness, Nicholson Builders used elements such as those seen in the cabinetry throughout the home. “We carried the color tones and details of the cabinetry into the other places – living room, family room, entry – so that by replicating color and detail, you thereby link the spaces together,” says Nicholson. “With the additional width of all the openings, visually and physically, by the nature of wider openings, the spaces become connected.”

Volunteer this labor Day he decided to bring Yats there for the first time in 2016. Not only is the Drunken Chicken O’Rourke’s favorite dish, it’s hands down Yats’ most popular dish; O’Rourke says Yats sees regulars multiple times each week who eat the Drunken Chicken, which was the Taste of Tri-Village’s (then called the Taste of UA) Best Entrée last year, exclusively.

The Drunken Chicken wasn’t meant to be as popular as it has become. It didn’t even begin as an independent dish, but as a complement to one.

“It’s funny; it was originally a recipe as a sauce for chicken wings,” says O’Rourke.

“It transpired into a sauce; all our dishes are sauces served over white rice.”

The Drunken Chicken is made up of shredded chicken, olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, bread crumbs and, of course, beer. The red pepper flakes aren’t the focus of the meal; O’Rourke believes the Drunken Chicken is the most popular dish because it appeals to lovers July/August 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

“It’s not going to catch your mouth on fire,” says O’Rourke. “The expectation is that everything is spicy; it’s not lose-yourtaste-buds spicy like some things can be.”

Bottled Grapefruit Fresca from Hudson 29 Kitchen + Drink If you’re looking to wet your whistle and cool off at this year’s Taste of Tri-Village, grab Hudson 29’s most popular seasonal drink, the Bottled Grapefruit Fresca.

Ryan Valentine, Hudson 29’s director of beverage, says the drink just wouldn’t be right in any other season – not only because of the summery feel it commands, but because the main ingredient is at its best in the summertime.

Ruby red grapefruit is “totally different,” says Valentine. “It has more flavor, color. It’s hard to take cocktails off a menu, but it’s an easy choice because it (Bottled Grapefruit Fresca) has no place if the color’s not right and the flavor’s not deep enough.”

Valentine was interested in creating the drink because of the grapefruit’s recent popularity in mixology. Bartenders have slowly been phasing in grapefruit because of the increasing price of limes, as well as the texture change once the drink is carbonated.

“Grapefruit is right for a refreshing note in a cocktail,” says Valentine. “It’s something about the grapefruit and the bubbles. It’s a very refreshing drink to enjoy in the summer.

Valentine is satisfied with how customers have reacted to the drink, which was originally not carbonated.

“It’s hard for people to crave something in the beverage department, and we’ve had the good fortune to do just that,” says Valentine. “You know you’ve made it when people ask for it when it’s not around.”
