The Shop Around the Corner The Butcher & Grocer offers a healthy take on a neighborhood classic

I

n 2014, Tony Tanner’s close friend Rob Young was diagnosed with cancer. The two were talking one day and could not help but wonder, how did this happen to a man who, on paper, was perfectly healthy?

Tanner realized it all comes down to food: what we eat and where it comes from.

Young passed away later that year, and Tanner became intrigued by the quality of food we eat. He began searching for properly raised and processed meat, but had little luck outside of farmers’ markets.

He began developing the idea of opening his own butcher shop, one that would sell the best quality meats and products.

The idea started to become a reality the following year. When developing a Pig Butchery Club in 2015, Tanner met butcher Tim Struble. As it turned out, Struble had the same idea as Tanner. With Tanner’s business sense and Struble’s experience as a butcher, the two decided to become business partners. A year and half later, they have their own shop.

The two now run The Butcher & Grocer, a new shop dedicated to selling high-quality meats along with cheeses and grocery produce. The meat is 100 percent pastured and is free of antibiotic and growth hormones.

All of their suppliers are local Ohio farms, which they believe is important for supporting the local economy. The two see no reason to ever go outside of Ohio.

10

“Our beef travels 100 miles to get to us,” says Tanner. “Why would we want it to come 300 miles?”

The shop has developed a close relationship with the farms.

All full-time staff members have also visited all the farms in person, learning about the product. Tanner says locating the right farms was the most difficult challenge during development, saying it took longer than construction.

Tanner gives particular credit to Lynn Semingson of Symmes Creek Ranch in Gallia County for helping. Semingson helped September/October 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

HEIGHTS

Tanner and Struble locate many of the farms they use, in addition to supplying their beef.

The shop also purchases the whole animal, refusing to receive animals from a box or bag. Struble says whole animal butchery allows for better flavor and texture. It is also more cost efficient and allows for less common cuts of the meat.

“Using boxed beef, you’re losing everything else,” Struble says. “A cow isn’t comprised of just two muscles. You have to use everything.”

Struble is a butcher with a unique origin story. His father was a vegetarian and told Struble that, if he was going to eat meat, he should know where it comes from. Struble began learning about meats and began working as a butcher at age 16.

Struble says their philosophy makes the place accessible for everyone.

September/October 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

News & Information from the City of Grandview Heights www.grandviewheights.org

The Butcher & Grocer sells varieties of meat that are 100 percent pastured and free of antibiotics and growth hormones.

“I think that this is the only place that a vegetarian or vegan would ever feel comfortable buying meat,” he says.

The two say the response from the Grandview Heights community has been great, with some people having returned every day since they opened. They say they have been overwhelmed with positivity. The two are happy about running a shop on First Avenue, saying it’s exciting to grow and develop with the area.

For now, Tanner says the shop is just trying to keep up the momentum, letting the product speak for itself.

“The return of the neighborhood butcher shop is necessary for the safety of our food,” Struble says. “It’s necessary for the economy, it’s necessary for the health of the community.”

ince his family moved to central Ohio when he was a little over a year old, Walt Dennis was a part of the fabric of the Upper Arlington community – no pun intended.

At that time, the company’s primary purpose was replacing cushions and foam in chairs and couches. The company went

Walt Dennis has played at Scioto Country Club since he was 12, and was chairman of the U.S. Senior Open held there in August.

through a slew of ownership changes, and in 2003, Dennis sold the company to a private equity and thought he’d retire.

In 2014, however, he bought the company back. Dennis has helped grow the company’s revenue from $1 million in 1973 to $270 million in 2016. HFI now manufactures seat upholstery for the automotive industry.

Dennis’ work in the community doesn’t stop with HFI. Any regular of the Scioto Country Club will probably recognize him, or at least recognize his name, as Dennis boasts seven club championship titles.

Dennis considers himself lucky for having been born into a golfing family. His father, Dick, joined the club in 1954, and Dennis began playing in 1963 – when he was 12 – and has played ever since. Dennis has never lost sight of what was important, thanks to his father.

“The way I was raised was that work came first and things like golf and hunting, which we enjoyed doing together, take second place,” Dennis says. “He instilled in me a work ethic. There was a conflict between the desire to raise a family and play golf. I’m proud of the fact that I was able to maintain a proficiency in the

game but never had the time – or never took the time – to try to go beyond that.”

Because of Dennis’ loyalty to the club, he was chosen as general chairman of the U.S. Senior Open Championship, which, for the second time in its history, was held at Scioto Country Club this August. When asked how he found himself in that position, he jokes that he “missed a meeting.”

“They looked at my resume and history with the club, and said that there isn’t anyone as qualified,” says Dennis. Club officials cited Dennis’ knowledge of the club over 50 years and his proficiency at golf: important factors when choosing a general chair for a major USGA tour.

Dennis was 35 when the Senior Open was last at the club in 1986, and though he wasn’t a part of the Senior Open committee, he volunteered in the Open. What made the site of the 2016 U.S. Senior Open really special, however, is the fact that the club is celebrating its 100th anniversary.

“The opportunity to host a major event in the year of the 100th anniversary was, we thought, perfect,” says Dennis. “It would give us the stage to showcase Scioto Country Club as a beautiful place; we es-

tablish Scioto’s role in championship golf in the United States.”

Dennis hopes hosting the Senior Open honors the club’s ties to Jack Nicklaus, the all-time golf great who grew up golfing there. Dennis also worked to make the Senior Open an enjoyable event for golfers, spectators and volunteers alike.

“A chance to see championship golf should be thrilling to everybody,” says Dennis. “The conditioning of the Country Club and the golf course, the way we treat people – that is world class, and I expect and predict that it will be.”

Dennis has also been very involved in philanthropy in central Ohio throughout his life. Previously, he was involved with Northwest Counseling Services (now Syntero), ProMusica and the Upper Arlington Education Foundation. Dennis is also a part of Recreation Unlimited and the Childhood League Center, and is on the Ohio State University Foundation Board.

Dennis still makes time for his wife, Jane; his two adult children; Kimberly, 39, and Rick, 36; and his three young grandchildren. Dennis and his wife enjoy golfing and traveling, and Dennis still enjoys hunting when he can. Though Dennis

For now, Dennis is focused greatly on the 100th anniversary of the club and

earn from your elders.” It’s something we’re told time and time again, but Upper Arlington’s First Community Village has taken that philosophy to new levels through the intergenerational programs it organizes with area schools.

First Community Village hosts 350 residents and is separated into three divisions: memory care, hospice and assisted living. Its intergenerational programs are spread across the entire community. The programs have been a part of the community for roughly five years, and have only grown and improved.

“It’s something for (the residents) to look forward to,” says Meredith Mennona, residential life enrichment leader. “The kids will share their summer plans and the Students play bingo with First Community Village residents. trips they’re taking. It also helps the kids put a face with an age.”

The students, who range from ele- pictures with the residents, exchange mentary school to high school, will draw pen pal letters with the residents, take residents to their schools once a year and participate in an end-of-the-year party at First Community Village where they sometimes put on shows, like piano recitals.

“It can be very nostalgic (for the residents),” Mennona says. “A lot of (the kids) will tell stories: ‘My grandpa lived in a place like this.’ It really takes the stigma away. And, for kids who have lost a grandparent, it’s nice to have that connection.”

There are about 80 students who participate in First Residents make bead bracelets as part of a craft program.

erational programs. They come from schools across both the Upper Arlington and Grandview Heights school districts, as well as the Wellington School. Local Girl Scout troops also stop by, and some students involved in the intergenerational programs will even come back to First Community Village as volunteers.

“That’s how a lot of the kids will complete their service hours (for school),” Mennona says.

That’s what 12-year-old Abigael O’Toole did. When she was in fifth grade and attending Trinity Catholic Elementary School, O’Toole would help her mother, who works for First Community Village, with filing and other office tasks. She was also pen pals with one of the residents, as was her sister.

“We had the same buddy,” O’Toole says, adding at the time they would meet up about once a month. “We would both talk with them and make eggs for Easter and do other activities. It was a lot of fun.”

O’Toole says the programs give residents and students alike the opportunity to compare their own experiences. One of her favorite parts of interacting with the residents is getting to hear their stories.

September/October 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

“They tell us a lot of stories about the way they lived when they were my age and how different it was (from my own experience),” O’Toole says.

“You really get to know them and like them a lot.” Abigael O’Toole O ’ To o l e says the conversations with students can bring back fond memories for residents who have children or grandchildren.

“It sometimes gives them something happy to dwell on,” she says. “It also just gives them someone to talk to. Working with them is just a great experience.”

Benefits of Intergenerational Programming With families living further and further apart and age segregation due to assisted living homes, older adults lose their opportunities to connect on an intergenerational level. Generations United, a nonprofit initiative that aims to improve the lives of older adults and children through intergenerational collaborations, says 45 percent of the retired population has expressed interest in working with youth programs. Interaction with young children can also improve older adults’ mental and physical state – older adults who regularly volunteer and engage with children burn 20 percent more calories and experience fewer falls.

Interactions with children also prove to benefit adults living with dementia or other cognitive impairments.

Intergenerational programs also play a role in youth education. Children who engage with older adults tend to have improved reading scores, according to a study from Generations United. Youth involved in the programs are also 46 percent less likely to use illegal drugs, 27 percent less likely to drink underage and 52 percent less likely to skip school.

The exterior of the King Thompson house remains quite the same as it did in 1916, albeit surrounded by much taller trees and a much greener, fuller back yard. Finally approaching the completion of the interior after a year of hard work with Abode, the current homeowners plan to begin work on the home exterior in the near future.

The homeowner often works from home, and required a home office to fit that need. A cream carpet was ripped out to make for dark hardwood floors to match the shelves. To complete the masculine look, Schilling says, required a steampunk-esque desk and Eames Lounge Chair.

With columns lining the walkway between the dining and living rooms, the living room felt cramped and detached from the kitchen and rest of the home.

The corner column couldn’t be removed, so Schilling added cohesiveness by matching the column to the range hood, giving it a metallic, worn look.

Schilling also exchanged the cluttered, busy support beams in favor of rustic, reclaimed wood beams.

The kitchen is another favorite of Schilling’s. The new homeowner has a passion for cooking, and needed a larger, more open and contemporary kitchen. Before the remodel, an extra door led from the kitchen to the driveway. Schilling removed that door in favor of more light and to accommodate for more counter space, and extended the kitchen, favoring a bigger kitchen over a large enclosed porch on the opposite side of the space.

“Walking into the kitchen, I knew I wanted a light – a little bit of a green – cabinet on the finish,” says Schilling. “I had cream at the beginning, and at the very end I changed it... To be honest, everyone says it looks so much better. I just feel like there shouldn’t have been cream in the house.”

Before the current homeowners moved in, the home was very dark and “heavy,” Schilling says. Dark wood covered the home, masking the beauty of the windows. By brightening up the walls and opening up spaces like the bedroom, Schilling brought more light into each room and gave contrast to the beautiful dark window frames.

“The woodwork we didn’t touch, we just cleaned up,” says Schilling.

“Getting the stain perfect—the flooring was stained, but all the woodwork is original.”

“We went really rustic in here,” says Schilling of the basement. “It was very tight. We raised the ceiling, moved the ductwork. … Everything was touched.

We put the doors on, the railings, the flooring, the carpet. I can’t stop putting rustic in everywhere.”

The master bedroom and bath were previously very small, as King Thompson had built two rooms into the corner of the home. Schilling got rid of the entire extra bedroom to make way for a much larger master suite.

“We got this tub at such a great deal,” says Schilling. “It was a floor sample that we stained and painted the legs.”

The basement’s rustic look is completed with reclaimed wood backing the large television and huge, fully functional barn door.

King Thompson’s home still stands as it did in 1916; although, after coming into new ownership shortly more than a year ago, the home saw some major changes with the help of Abode Real Living, a remodeling and design company based in Columbus. Walls were knocked down, doors torn out and rooms expanded.

When Abode owner Eileen Schilling was first approached by the homeowner, she was nervous because of the size and the history of the home, but anxiety quickly turned to excitement.

“I was like, ‘Can I do this?’ because it was scary,” says Schilling. “I was excited … so we accomplished it, and they’ve referred me to a lot of great people.”

King Thompson might not recognize the house he built in the early 1900s, but he surely would like how it looks.

ewer shelves, more screens and more visible windows.

That’s what you can expect from the Grandview Heights Public Library. It’s recently undergone some big changes just in time for the fall school semester.

“We wanted to enhance the reference study and reading spaces, improve technology spaces and improve our book displays,” says Canaan Faulkner, public relations manager at the library.

Thanks to a generous donation from Louise Anderson and her family, the library now boasts 18 new computers.

All of them are equipped with Windows 10 software, located among the 22 new workstations that were also installed.

The gift from the recently departed Anderson was targeted at the reference department.

“We hadn’t updated our reference department in nearly 15 years,” says Faulkner. The previous arrangement was outdated and didn’t provide as much open space or as many areas in which to work.

Consolidating and rearranging the space has proven to be an easy way to re-

fresh the reference department. For example, the library has reevaluated how it will shelve books in the department to feature more aesthetically pleasing book displays.

“If you can see the cover of the book, it catches more of your interest,” says Faulkner. “Facing out is a way for people to engage the material a lot better, and we do that already with our new nonfiction.”

Moreover, the State Library of Ohio will continue to host a series of classes on provided laptops to help educate the general public on the basics of working with computers.

The classes will teach essential computer skills such as Microsoft Word, how to use the Internet and how to access the library’s plethora of online resources such as audio and ebooks that are available through OverDrive, says Faulkner. The library is equipped with new resources and the classes to educate the public on how to use these new technological improvements.

Already, the new workstations have brought a refreshing energy to the library.

There are more comfortable places to sit, more ways to plug in electronic devices

and more resources available to patrons in the reference department.

These new developments are a small taste of what the library has cooking. In the past few years, the library has also initiated a guitar lending program, through which members can check out acoustic guitars to promote hands-on, collaborative learning.

The library boasts a collection of laptops for in-library use, early literacy iPads and engaging events such as live music on the lawn.

It’s also been a part of initiatives such as providing wireless Internet access in Grandview parks and bringing the library to the community through a PopUp Library.

The PopUp Library is a traveling library funded by the GHPL Foundation.

It’s a low-speed electric vehicle that makes an appearance at places such as farmers’ markets and schools.

“You can check out books, you can get a library card,” says Faulkner. The vehicle is, in every sense, a mobile library.

The new computer stations and classes are just another example of how the li-

brary is continually innovating to meet the needs of the community.

“We’re excited. We think it looks great, and people already love it,” says Faulkner. “It’s already a win.”

Dog’s Day Out Treating your dog like he’s part of the pack

Photos courtesy of Wendy’s Pampered Pets and Tail Wags Playground

A

ny devoted pet owner knows that a pet is a member of the family.

Your four-legged friend is completely dependent on you for his or her care and well-being.

Keeping a pet happy and healthy is an important task, but it doesn’t have to be an overwhelming one. For Tri-Village Magazine’s annual pet issue, we spoke with some local business owners who know the ins and outs of caring for your canines and felines.

Wendy Penn, a breeder and owner of Wendy’s Pampered Pets in Grandview Heights, says the key to being a responsible pet owner is knowing what resources are available and taking advantage of them.

“A groomer should be a resource for any questions pet owners have,” says Penn. Having a quality groomer and veterinarian is a must for pet owners who wish to keep their dogs and cats happy and healthy.

Penn says that while pet owners should always be aware of changes in

24

their pet’s behavior or appearance, an experienced groomer will also be able to recognize any warning signs that may indicate health problems. One thing Penn always watches for is ear infections. When the weather is warm, ear infections can be common afflictions. If ear infections are not caught in the early stages, they can lead to major problems.

While grooming may seem like a luxury for some, every pet needs (at minimum) occasional grooming. Some breeds need to be groomed more than others, but any dog or cat can benefit from regular bathing, combing and nail trimming.

Another great resource for pet owners is a doggy day care center. Pets left home alone for long periods of time may get lonely or become destructive, either due to boredom or separation anxiety. For dog owners who don’t want to come home to a sad dog (or a soiled rug), day care can be a great solution.

And if you’re looking for a space to enjoy some quality time with your pet, try a dog park. Steffanie Sanchez recently

founded Tail Wags Playground in part because she wished there was a dog park she and her terrier mix, Jake, could go to year-round. Tail Wags includes an offleash indoor dog park with toys and agility equipment. There’s also an on-leash lounge where members can get some work done in a relaxing coffee shop-esque environment that’s completely dog-friendly.

“The space was really created to celebrate this bond that dog owners have with their pets,” says Sanchez.

Tail Wags also has free events that are open to the public, including dog adoption fairs, dog-friendly social events and informational sessions with experts on ev-

Pie in the Sky Baker is inspired by late mother’s recipe collection

Don’t miss Kitchen Kap the ers tour!

Sept. 11 Noon-5 p.m., th roughout Upper Arlington

P

erhaps unlike other participants in the Kitchen Kapers tour, Upper Arlington resident Shannon Trotter much prefers baking over cooking in her kitchen.

One reason for this is her fond memories of cakes being baked for special occasions in her family, especially birthdays.

“Every year you would have a cake baked and it would always be served on a cake stand. It’s this big to-do,” she says. “I always remember, as a kid, getting a cake and how special that made me feel.”

Trotter may have gotten her love for baking from her mother, who passed away when Trotter was just over a year old. She never got the opportunity to bake with her mother, but she did get her recipe collection, and began to learn how to bake 26

through trial and error following the recipes. Being the only woman in the house with her father and brothers, Trotter says she took up the responsibility of cooking and baking for the family.

“I think because my mom was an avid baker and cook, it made me feel closer to her,” she says.

Beyond the tasty treats, Trotter loves the “homey feeling” the smell of freshbaked goods give the home. For example, she loves to make cinnamon rolls just for the aroma, but doesn’t eat them herself.

In addition, Trotter collects vintage cake stands to display all of her hard work, serving as added decorations to the home.

Among her favorites is the coconut cake she’s been perfecting at the request

of her husband, as well as gingersnaps, a Christmas staple that garners frequent requests from family members.

But it’s Trotter’s butterscotch pie that truly takes the cake. It’s a recipe passed down from her maternal grandmother, who was also an avid baker. But unlike most recipes, there aren’t any numbers involved. Trotter says the recipe is hard to perfect because her grandmother was blind and measured everything by touch.

Butterscotch pie is traditionally made on Thanksgiving and Christmas in Trotter’s family, but she makes an exception for her brother, who gets one on his birthday.

The secret ingredient for making butterscotch pie is not an edible one, Trotter says; it’s patience. She must cook most of

it on the stove first, adding ingredients very slowly to allow them to integrate properly. At first, she dumped everything in at once, and it didn’t turn out as she wanted.

Baking taught her patience.

“I think that’s the beauty of baking, too. It does teach you some patience and can be therapeutic, to help you relax or relieve stress,” she says.

Trotter has learned a great deal about baking over the years and challenges novices to take risks.

“Be adventurous and take a recipe and use it as foundation, but don’t be afraid to add your own spin or flavor,” she says. “The worst case scenario is that it might not taste right, but the good news is you can always start over again.”

Buttermilk Crust (makes 2 crusts) 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. granulated sugar 3 ⁄4 tsp. table salt 3 Tbsp. cold butter 2 ⁄3 cup shortening 2 tsp. vegetable oil 1 ⁄3 cup cold buttermilk Whisk the flour and salt together. Cut the shortening and butter into the flour until the chunks are the size of small peas.

Gradually add in buttermilk and vegetable oil, and stir with a fork until the dough is moistened and comes together. Massage the dough and form into a round ball. Divide dough into halves. Place each half on parchment paper and set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Line pie pan with one crust.

Using a fork, poke holes into the crust to allow for ventilation while baking. Bake at 475 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. Cool for 10-15 minutes before adding filling.
