rom metal and wire to ceramics and paper, Yasue Sakaoka is presenting her extensive artistic abilities to the Upper Arlington community this spring.

“She’s taking it to the next level,” says Lynette Santoro-Au, arts manager for the City of Upper Arlington.

Sakaoka, a native of Japan, has been living in America since the 1980s, teaching students and creating art for more than 30 years. Santoro-Au and Yasue Sakaoka Sakaoka have been working together for the last 20 years.

eight shows a year, and all exhibits are booked two years in advance. The goal of the visual arts committee is to share as many kinds of art forms as it can with the public.

After the Yasue Sakaoka exhibit, viewers can come see artists from the neighborhood in the Celebrating UA exhibit at the beginning of July. The artists featured in the show are all local, with a variety of media, including painting, ceramics and collage works being presented.

“For Celebrating UA, we’ve had glass, wood and mixed materials. We are always trying to do something that shows the viewer a new theme,” says Santoro-Au. “Sometimes, the themes present themselves organically, and sometimes, we come up with them.”

In previous years, themes have included rock-paper-scissors and 3-D work.

In 2018, the gallery will highlight UA artists the entire year.

“We’re always trying to find more creators in the community to share their work. Right now, we’re using Instagram to find artists to add to our list. It’s an open invitation to the artists of the area,” says Santoro-Au. In August, the next exhibit will be an artful book show, creating different works with books through painting and sculpting.

“We chose Marble Cliff for our Columbus store based upon a friend’s recommendation. We love the Tri-Village area, as it feels right for our kind of customers,” Campbell said. “I have a great Columbus staff eager to help our customers with painting projects and gift selection.”

In 2015, they opened a third store in Cincinnati, and they will open a fourth in Hamilton later this year. That store will have more painting space and a workshop where Doug can build furniture and restore antiques.

“Although we live near Dayton with our four children – ages 21, 16, 8 and 1 – we get to our stores frequently. I enjoy meeting the people drawn to our stores,” Campbell said. “Whether they are singles buying paint to fix up their place or married couples updating their décor, I believe our paint and home items will help them flourish in their lives and look beautiful while doing so.”

Local Digs

T

he Tri-Village Chamber Partnership is adding even more local flavor to its sixth annual Digfest.

Digfest, which stands for “Drinks in Grandview,” will be held 4-10:30 p.m. on June 11 in Grandview Yard.

Digfest started in 2011 as a festival for local craft brewers, craft distilleries and Ohio wines and liquors, and has grown into a food, drink, entertainment and craft fest. The event focuses on getting people to eat, drink and shop at local businesses.

“Digfest brings several thousand people into Grandview on the day of the event,” says Michelle Wilson, executive director of the Chamber Partnership. “(They will) most likely eat at area

restaurants before or after the event, as well as visit other retail establishments while in the area.”

Along with flavorful food and tasty drinks, Digfest also features bands and artists native to Columbus.

Angela Perley & the Howlin’ Moons is this year’s music headliner. The band formed in Columbus in 2009, and has since released four EPs and two albums. Its second album, Homemade Vision, was recorded in Columbus and released in January.

“I am excited (to play at Digfest) since I live in Grandview.

It will be fun to represent my neighborhood,” says lead singer Angela Perley.

The band looks forward to coming home for Digfest.

“Hometown shows are the best,” says Perley. “We see a lot of friends and family at the shows, and the support is always the strongest in Columbus.”

Vendors and the rest of the entertainment line-up will be announced closer to the date of the event. The Chamber Partnership and the City of Grandview Heights work closely together to help Digfest run as smoothly as possible.

Digfest came to be when the thenGrandview Chamber of Commerce – then still organizing the annual Taste of Grandview – wanted to develop another unique event for the community.

and we thought it would be fun to promote,” says Wilson.

Each drink ticket is $3. Full drinks are offered for two drink tickets, and samples are offered for one drink ticket.

Credit cards and cash are accepted at the event.

Wilson says the festival will have a nice change of scenery, as it takes place in a different part of Grandview Yard this year, near the new public park that

serves as a gathering place for the Grandview community.

“We look forward to growing this event each year,” Wilson says.

Coming Home UA resident and White Castle CEO found her own path before returning to the family business

L

isa Ingram never thought she’d become the CEO of White Castle.

Ingram says she has always been proud that her great-grandfather, Billy Ingram, was one of the hamburger chain’s founders in Kansas in 1921. But the Upper Arlington resident wanted to make her own path – a path that ultimately led her back to the family business.

“I wanted to go out and explore the world,” says Ingram, who grew up in Upper Arlington and attended Upper Arlington High School, where she was the foot-

ball cheerleading captain, a lacrosse and field hockey player, a part of the yearbook staff – and a White Castle employee over the course of a couple summers. “I wanted to see a different city, and I wasn’t sure if I would ever come back and work in the family business.”

Ingram stayed in Dallas for about a decade.

“I enjoyed spreading my wings in a different way, and making my own way,” she says. “No one knew who my family was in Dallas.”

Out and About in Upper Arlington with Lisa Ingram

The Fourth of July is Ingram’s favorite time of year.

“When I was in college, I would come back, just because it’s such a big deal here,” Ingram says. “I have very fond memories of being in the parade as a cheerleader. The patriotism, the fireworks in Northam Park – that holiday is definitely one of my greatest childhood memories.”

Ingram, who has four children – one girl and three boys, ages 11, 5, 7 and 9 – with her husband, Greg Guy, says it’s easy to find great activities in the area for the kids.

“I love that my kids can walk to school and that we’re so close to the parks,” she says. “That community feeling is what makes Upper Arlington great. It’s great having neighbors who share the same values and appreciation for the community.”

Ingram enjoys shopping and dining along Lane Avenue and visiting the Upper Arlington Public Library. Upper Arlington’s proximity to Downtown and the OSU campus is another draw. Ingram says she and her family will often ride their bikes to OSU games.

“That’s a great way to stay healthy and avoid traffic,” she says. “This community is a place that very much welcomes that and wants to help make an impact.”

She kept in touch with White Castle’s marketing director, a woman she had worked for while employed at the restaurant during her summers as a high school student. One day, she told Ingram she was looking for a marketing manager, and wondered if Ingram was interested.

“At that point, I had to figure out if I wanted to work in the family business or not,” Ingram says. “That job offer and her phone call really made me think.”

Ingram went back home to Columbus and accepted the job. She worked in marketing for two years and also tackled a master’s degree in business at May/June 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

The Ohio State University. She received several job offers after she finished her degree, and initially thought she might go into consulting.

“My father gave me an offer I didn’t think I could refuse,” Ingram says. “So, I went back.”

Ingram says her father, Bill Ingram, left her very big shoes to fill. He retired at the end of 2015 after 35 years with the company. But Ingram says she was more than ready to step up to the challenge.

“We had three successful generations of progress and prosperity,” Ingram says.

“I think the expectation to not be the generation to screw it up weighs heavily on my mind. They set the bar very high, so I’m always making sure that I’m doing what I can to honor the past but make sure we are relevant to the future. Mixing that together is hard to do sometimes, but if we keep doing it, we’ll see great things.”

The best part of her job, Ingram says, is getting to talk about White Castle, its 95-year-old history and her grandfather’s May/June 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

legacy. At the time White Castle was founded in Kansas, Ingram says, hamburgers weren’t a popular food. Her greatgrandfather wanted to sell the burgers for five cents apiece; that way, everyone could afford them. White Castle ended up growing eastward, since that’s where most of the population was. The business officially moved to Columbus in 1934.

Ingram also serves on the OhioHealth, United Way of Central Ohio, Columbus Partnership and National Restaurant Association boards.

Heating Up T Creative culinary minds at work at the Commissary he Commissary has helped food entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses since 2014.

Located at 1400 Dublin Rd., the Commissary provides

chefs with kitchen space, hot lines, prep lines, food storage, business lessons and opportunities to showcase their food.

Its goal is to be “Where Food Connects Community,” and it’s clear that the food professionals who use the facility are working toward that end, but they are also using food to connect family – to which a fatherson team, a mother and her two sons and a pair of sisters can attest.

Let’s take a look at these family affairs and the impact their time at the Commissary has had on their businesses.

Brier Hill Sausage Co. The Brier Hill Sausage Co. was founded by the father-son team of Jerry Pallante II and Jerry Pallante III, making good on a family sausage tradition that goes back four generations. They even use the same family recipe and hand-cranked sausage stuffer that has been part of their family tradition since the 1800s.

“Starting Brier Hill Sausage Co. was never about how much money we can make, but rather a way for us to work together in keeping alive and sharing with others a tradition worthy of being preserved,” says Pallante III. Brier Hill Sausage Co. utilizes nearly all the Commissary has to offer, and it is even in the process of planning and taking part in a dinner that features a tasting menu of Commissary-produced foods.

“The versatility of the Commissary is one of the things that make it so appealing to us,” says Pallante III. The Pallantes also chose the Commissary because it doesn’t make sense for a small-scale business with intentions such as theirs to rent, buy or build a commercial kitchen facility. They also see using the Commissary as a way to make an impact in Columbus that goes beyond simply selling their sausages.

“We are able to support our local growers and, in the end, have a positive impact on the quality of the local food supply,” says Pallante III.

Where You Come First

Retro Dinner Diva Stephanie Eakins has been using the Commissary since it opened its doors. Eakins’ business, Retro Dinner Diva, creates oven-ready meals and casseroles to be delivered to your door, and she says that if it weren’t for the Commissary, she probably wouldn’t be in business.

“The Commissary allows me to keep a positive cash flow, as I only rent the kitchen space as my business dictates,” Eakins says. “If it’s a busy week, I book more hours in the kitchen.”

This positive cash flow allowed Eakins to hire her sister, Jennie Hempfling, last year. Hempfling, in addition to her regular job, works with Eakins part-time every weekend doing food preparation and deliveries.

“There’s something comforting about Jennie being family, because I feel like she’s definitely committed to our success,” says Eakins.

The sisters have seen Retro Dinner Diva increase its sales more than 60 percent from 2014 to 2015, and Eakins is determined not to let it stop there.

“My brain never stops, and I’m always thinking of different ways to expand or provide better service,” she says.

Eakins also appreciates the camaraderie among the Commissary’s businesses, noting, “You see it in little meaningful ways.”

Whether it is sampling one another’s food and giving feedback, sharing ideas, or simply jamming to music together while they work, the sense of family at the Commissary includes and goes beyond the actual bloodlines.

While the food prep and storage areas are vital to North Country Charcuterie’s business, Duncan explains that there was

something else the Commissary provided that their business couldn’t.

“We started working there because it is an Ohio Department of Agriculture inspected facility,” Duncan says. “Without the ODA approval, North Country Charcuterie wouldn’t be able to produce meat May/June 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

products without building its own costprohibitive facility.”

Like many of the businesses that use the Commissary, North Country Charcuterie take pride in sourcing 95 percent of its ingredients from Ohio businesses, including meat, cheese, herbs and spices, craft beer and wine.

The Forbes family intends to use its time at the Commissary as a launching pad to one day have its own brick-and-mortar salumeria. Until then though, members will enjoy their time at the Commissary.

“We love working here,” says Duncan.

“It’s an amazing resource for central Ohio.”

Big Dreams Major St. Jude fundraiser was founded by UA siblings

By Amanda DePerro

Since it began in 2006, Discover the Dream has raised a whopping $3.4 million for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and has sold out its 700 seats for the last eight years. And it all started right in Upper Arlington.

Lisa Khourie and David Karam – siblings, co-chairs and founders of Discover the Dream – have a storied past with St. Jude. The pair’s father, Joe Karam, was involved with the founding of St. Jude itself, and being involved in fundraisers and events in support of St. Jude was part of their growing up. Having worked with St. Jude since childhood, “it was in our blood,” says Khourie.

“We’ve all been involved with St. Jude the bulk of our life, so we found a number of ways to support the work of the hospital,” says Karam.

“The inspiration – if you will – that developed out of the desire to achieve, raise awareness and make money for St. Jude, and Columbus is a very generous community in support of St. Jude.”

Discover the Dream showcases patients’ stories and the work done at St. Jude by inviting patients and their families to speak at the event, and invites the families back to the gala each year.

“Listening to the patients up there on stage, knowing that we see some of them from year to year because they survive … their families come to the event still because we invite them,” says Khourie.

“My preference is for all the focus to be on the children that not only have been treated, but 18

the ones that have overcome cancer and the illnesses that they have been treated for and the souls that didn’t make it and their families,” says Karam. “St. Jude is a place of hope, but there’s also a lot of suffering that comes from there.”

The hospital, founded in 1962, is a nonprofit pediatric research and treatment hospital based in Memphis. The hospital is based on the premise that “no child should die in the dawn of life,” and covers the cost of treatment of a variety of illnesses, from leukemia and lymphoma to sickle cell disease to HIV. “It’s not just that the children are treated and cared for, but all the costs associated with that,” says Karam.

“Transport or housing or meals or providing for the continuing education of the child – these are all things provided at St. Jude for children who are typically among the sickest children in America.”

As a community event, Discover the Dream has helped Karam and Khourie Jack Hanna (honorary chair) speaks to guests with daughter Julie and wife Suzi behind him. form lasting relationships with patients, their families and organizations within the community – a headliner being Jack Hanna, director emeritus of the zoo. Perhaps the biggest reason Hanna and his wife, Suzi, ended up in Columbus was so their daughter Julie could receive treatment for leukemia at St. Jude through Nationwide Children’s Hospital. After Discover the Dream’s inaugural year, when it was held at the Ohio State Fairgrounds, Karam approached Hanna about becoming a part of Discover the Dream. Hanna is now honorary event chairman with Discover the Dream, and the gala has been held at the zoo ever since.

“I would say that the relationship with Jack Hanna and Suzi Hanna and their daughter Julie is probably one of the most important in my life,” says Guests bid on silent auction items.

T

hirty years ago, Upper Arlington’s own Scioto Country Club hosted the 1986 U.S. Senior Open. Now, in 2016, the championship is coming back for another round – this time for the country club’s 100th anniversary.

The 2016 U.S. Senior Open, a championship for men’s professional senior golf, will play at the country club Aug. 8-14.

“Shortly after the 1986 championship, we always felt like it would be right to bring it back,” says Walt Dennis, the championship’s general chairman. “Back in 2008 and 2009, we were looking ahead to our 100th anniversary at the club and thinking how great it would be to have an event (such as the U.S. Senior Open).”

There’s a lot that goes into hosting the championship, Dennis says, and that includes preparing the golf course and assuring the U.S. Senior Open is beneficial to the community.

“We hope to crown a champion as worthy as the course is,” Dennis says. “The central Ohio community needs to benefit, too, and we’re expecting great economic benefits as well as a great experience for our members.”

Members of the Scioto Country Club will have to give up their access to the club about six days prior to the championship, “It needs to be financially beneficial,” Dennis says. “Conas well as during the event, Dennis says. necting it to our 100th anniversary ensures it will be.”

Over the course of the championship, spectators and playWhat to Know: Volunteering ers alike will be encouraged to pay visits to Upper Arlington, The 2016 U.S. Senior Open is seeking 1,800-2,000 volGrandview Heights and Marble Cliff-area staples, as well as atunteers.

Most positions are available for those over the age of 18, though volunteers ages 12 and older can serve as standard bearers. Volunteers ages 14-17 can serve alongside a parent or guardian.

Volunteers will be able to sign up through July.

What to Know: Transportation The U.S. Senior Open’s main admissions gate will be right off U.S. Rt. 33, Dennis says. Most of the parking areas around the country club will be used for hospitality and service parking. The major public parking will be west of the Ohio Stadium.

The commute from the parking area to the Scioto Country Club will be about seven minutes, Dennis says.

“We’re working very, very well with CampusParc and The Ohio State University, so we will have a great shuttle service from west campus parking,” Dennis says.

Justin Collamore and his wife, Allison, have been renovating and living in the brick home at 1788 Guilford Rd.

From exposing a fireplace hidden behind paneling to tearing out shag carpet to finding a brick archway in the kitchen in the thick of demolition, the Collamores

Before the Collamores moved in, the dining room walls were adorned with a bright, busy floral wallpaper, and the wood floors needed some love. The couple painted the walls and refinished the floors while leaving some of the home’s original charm, such as the trim and crown molding.

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

Justin let the room breathe again after tearing out the paneling in the living room to expose a beautiful fireplace and replacing the shag carpet with a light wood floor.

Right and far right: After the brick archway was discovered during the kitchen demolition, the Collamores opted to maintain the size of the kitchen and expose the archway, leaving a major part of the original home untouched and adding a rustic feel to the space.

Left and far left: The kitchen was the Collamores’ first big project; their aim was to expand it until they found a beautiful brick archway in the wall, which is now exposed and separates the living room from the kitchen.

Floral wallpaper seemed to be a central theme prior to the Collamores’ move.

Justin installed granite countertops, replaced the cabinets and moved the sink. By rearranging the refrigerator, replacing the inward-swinging shutters and modifying the window between the kitchen and living room, the Collamores opened up the space and gave it a larger feel.

have tackled it – all to bring the home out of the 1960s and into the present.

Before the Collamores moved in, the Upper Arlington house’s last major facelift was in 1961. So Justin and Allison, co-owners of Collamore Built Residential Design and Construction in Upper Arlington, knew the home needed a ton of work.

“My wife and I both had a vision for what it could be clearly,” says Justin. “It’s a beautiful older home, so I don’t know that there was any certain inspiration to it, but when we went through it, we tried to keep the integrity of the house; any details or trim that were left while still updating it.”

Though the Collamores are still renovating the master bath and plan to build a new garage, the interior of the home is approaching completion after a long 10 years, as Justin opted to put his own home on hold while he worked on his clients’ with Collamore Built.

“Everybody else gets to go first,” says Justin. “But my wife finally said after 10 years, ‘I’d like to have a master bathroom.’”

There are some upsides to being the boss of a design and construction company. Justin gets first pickings of the features torn out of Collamore Built clients’ homes.

“One of the recent things we did is we salvaged a fireplace mantle out of a project that we were doing for someone else, and we were going to throw it out,” says Justin. “Our fireplace had been sealed behind paneling, so we opened that up and put the mantle in there.”

We Aim to Cheese

Want to pay a visit to Buster Mac’s Food Truck when it visits the Tri-Village area?

6:30-8 p.m., June 7, Grandview Heights Public Library, 1685 W. First Ave. 11 a.m.-2 p.m., June 23, 2323 W. Fifth Ave. 26

he Buster Mac’s Food Truck is a family affair. Clara Valentino and her father, Rocco Valentino, started their business serving gourmet burgers, shakes and fries to central Ohio in October 2015.

Buster Mac’s, which utilizes the Commissary, has seven gourmet burgers on its menu: five beef-based burgers (including one topped with a hot dog), one salmon burger and a vegetarian burger made from smoked cheddar and lentils. If there’s a standout among this distinguished group though, it’s likely the Four Cheese Burger, and for good reason.

The burger gets its name from the Amish Swiss, Amish cheddar, goat and Romano cheeses that top the locally sourced 1⁄3-pound beef patty. Kale, onion and tomato also manage to find some space between the brioche bun, and diners have the choice to top it all off with bacon or a fried egg if they desire.

Pile on the cheese with this original recipe from Buster Mac’s Food Truck

Rocco, who serves as the executive chef for the food truck and crafted the recipe, believes there are two key factors behind this burger’s succulent success.

“The goat cheese is really what makes it, and the Romano adds a nice rustic look and salty flavor,” he says.

Clara agrees, adding that customers frequently compliment the goat cheese, especially.

No burger experience is complete without a side and drink, and Buster Mac’s recommends pairing the Four Cheese with the shake of your choice, such as the seasonal Reese’s Cup Cheesecake shake, as well as its sea salt “Perfect Hand Cut Fries.”
