Vacation Education Visitors to Chautauqua can make pursuit of lifelong learning a summer-long experience

P

epper Pike residents Nancy and Jay Benjamin have made the twohour drive to western New York to visit their adopted hometown of Chautauqua for years.“ We have a place there on the lake. We’ve gone since my son was 2, and now he’s 26,” said Nancy Benjamin, a 56-year-old interior designer. “We’re ‘Chautauquans.’ We’ve been going forever.”

The Benjamins, members of Park Synagogue in Pepper Pike and Cleveland Heights, visit the lakeside town and surrounding area year-round, but as the warm of summer approaches, it opens the door to many more experiences.

“Both of us love the energy up there,” Benjamin said,

By Michael C. Butz adding that her husband, a dermatologist, enjoys biking, photography, hitting the links and playing music while in Chautauqua.

“I’ve taken watercolor classes about five years in a row,” she said of her own endeavors. “We paint outside and it’s just wonderful. You have so many things that are so scenic: you have the water, the landscaping of the beautiful houses, and you have people in sailboats.”

Courses like those are just a sampling of the plethora of activities and pursuits offered ALL PHOTOS / Chautauqua Institution

by the Chautauqua Institution, which every summer hosts a nine-week programming season that turns its 750-acre campus into a bustling center for learning.

“People say you walk in an apple and you walk out an apple pie,” said Benjamin of the Chautauqua experience.

Chautauqua experience Surrounding that experience is a sense of engagement, said Matt Ewalt, Chautauqua Institution director of communications, explaining that the institution has four pillars of programming: arts, education, religion and recreation.

“For folks coming here, and quite often it’s families, the idea is really to immerse yourself in all of these areas during your time here,” he said, pointing out that visitors from cities like Cleveland, New York or Pittsburgh can likely get similar programming in their hometowns but visit Chautauqua to experience it all in one place.

Over the course of the summer, there are 2,200 events and 400 special studies classes – often one Its 750-acre campus in full bloom during the nineweek summer season, the Chautauqua Institution features noteworthy landmarks such as Athenaeum Hotel, middle, and Bestor Plaza, bottom.

week long, pertaining to subjects ranging from health and fitness to finance to the arts – at the Chautauqua Institution.

The Chautauqua Institution’s 2013 season runs from June 22 through Aug. 25. Most visitors typically stay a week, and it’s around that tendency that the institution’s season is designed, Ewalt said.

“What Chautauqua really embraces is the complexity of these issues,” he said.

“It’s not a one-off program but rather how you can experience that through all of these different disciplines upon arrival and throughout the week.”

About 100,000 people will visit the Chautauqua Institution during the nineweek summer season. Of them, about 10 percent will make the trip from Northeast Ohio, Ewalt said, adding that in any given week, about onethird of the visitors are there for the first time. In response, a new visitors center that will help newcomers plan their stay and learn of Chautauqua’s history is planned for Bestor Plaza, which is centrally located on campus.

A service already offered involves informing visitors of all the different places to stay, which range from rooms at the grand Athenaeum Hotel to Queen Anne-style houses for rent.

“Some of the homes date

back to the 1840s and 1850s – it’s like a Victorian fantasy,” said Benjamin, whose residence is an offsite condo near the institution. She also noted the Everett Jewish Life Center. “It’s just wonderful to have the house on the grounds, and you know you can go there whenever you want to.”

Ewalt described Chautauqua as a pedestrianand bicycle-friendly campus built around sharing experiences and starting conversations about lectures just attended.

“This is a place where if you were to walk the streets of Chautauqua, you’d begin to notice there are very few backyards, and that’s this idea of public space,” he said.

“This is a community where leisure time is a very active mindset and involves the stimulation of mind and body – but that’s not to say there aren’t quiet moments spent down on the lake.”

Summer offerings In addition to all that’s typically offered at Chautauqua – including a “strong” day camp program

jstylemagazine.com

for the kids – visitors have much to look forward to in 2013, Ewalt said.

One of this year’s most “exciting” events will be The Romeo and Juliet Project, which Ewalt explained as a collaboration between the Chautauqua Institution’s own theater company, symphony, opera company, dance company and music school to retell William Shakespeare’s classic love story.

“All of these art forms can come together in a way that’s really unique,” he said, noting the presentation will be Saturday, July 27. “Three pairs of Romeos and Juliets will be on the stage together – a pair of actors from the theater company, a pair of opera singers and a pair of dancers. It will be a unique art experience.”

Themes for each of the summer program’s nine weeks range from “Markets, Morals and the Social Contract” to “Our Elegant Universe.” The latter is the opening week theme, which Ewalt said will include interfaith lectures that focus on the meaning

of the universe from the perspective of various world religions.

“Parents will really enjoy the lectures that go into science and the meaning of the universe, and for kids, we’re going to have a NASA trailer,” he said.

The final week’s theme will be “Health care: Reform and Innovation,” for which the Chautauqua Institution has partnered with Cleveland Clinic. Topics covered will include understanding the Affordable Care Act, end-oflife care, heart health and the doctor-patient relationship.

“What’s unique in terms of that program is we’re going beyond our traditional lecture platform,” Ewalt said. “What we’re doing that week is offering a whole host of workshops, the idea being to provide a more intimate type of experience for people to engage in conversations and ask questions.”

Whatever topic one chooses to focus on, that the pursuit of education takes priority while at Chautauqua – and that the lessons learned often extend past the time spent at the institution

The Chautauqua Institution offers a wide range of activities, including, clockwise, sailing on Chautauqua Lake; spending time on the porches of its many Victorian houses; playing golf; walking its pedestrianfriendly campus; or taking in theatrical performances.

– are commonalities among visitors, Ewalt said.

“It’s about celebrating a time in one’s life when making these conversations and experiences is at the very forefront – and not something you hope to get to – as well as how you take those experience home with you,” he said.

“Whether it’s sitting in the audience for a series of lectures on ethics, foreign policy, science or health care, or the conversations that follow those lectures with your friends, neighbors or strangers, it’s about what kind of knowledge you can take back to your community ... and how you can use those experiences throughout the rest of the year.” js

More to Chautauqua Chautauqua County offers a variety of activities and attractions

PHOTOS / Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau

By Michael C. Butz

W

hile the Chautauqua Institution is widely known as a popular attraction, to visit that alone during a trip to western New York means people would miss much of what Chautauqua County has to offer.

Here’s just a taste of what the county – which covers 1,065 square miles and is bordered by Lake Erie to the north and Pennsylvania to the west and south – has to offer:

The Lucy Desi Center for Comedy Still one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world, Lucille Ball is honored in her hometown of Jamestown, N.Y., with the Lucy Desi Center for Comedy, which also bears the name of her co-star and collaborator husband, Desi Arnaz.

“There are two museums – one dedicated to the lives of Lucy and Desi, and the second is dedicated to the ‘I Love Lucy’ TV show,” said Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau communications coordinator Stephanie Burdo, who added that the latter includes life-size reproductions of three sets from the show: the living room, the California apartment and the Tropicana, which is used to host special events.

There’s also the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, or “Lucy Fest,” which is held each year on the weekend closest to Ball’s Aug. 6 birthday. This year, the festival will take place Aug. 1-4 and feature

From the Lucy Desi Center for Comedy, above, to touring Chautauqua Lake on a steamboat named the Chautauqua Belle, right, to visiting the region’s wineries and learning about its history in the grape industry, bottom, Chautauqua County in western New York has much to offer.

Boating opportunities

headline performances by Bill Engvall and Kathleen Madigan, Burdo said.

Lake Erie Wine Country With only nine wineries 10 years ago, Lake Erie Wine Country, known formerly as the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail, has grown to about 23 in a region that spans from northern Chautauqua County to the city of Northeast, Pa. “The region is traditionally a Concord grape-growing region, and it was the grape juice capital at one time, with Welch’s,” Burdo said, adding that while the National Grape Cooperative has headquarters in Westfield, N.Y., Welch’s itself moved to Massachusetts years ago.

“Over time, a lot of those vineyards have been replanted for wine grapes,” she said. “The climate is conducive to Germanic wines, like Riesling, and Traminette, which is an American wine derived

from Gewurztraminer, which is the German variety.”

Burdo noted unique tasting rooms at both the South Shore Wine Company and Noble Winery, as well as that the Johnson Estate Winery, currently run by the third generation of the Johnson family, is the oldest estate winery in New York.

Westfield, which Burdo said is part of the largest grape-growing region in the country outside of California, will be home to the new Grapes Discovery Center starting Memorial Day weekend. From grape juice to grape production to wine, the museum is dedicated to the heritage of the grape industry in the area.

Chautauqua County is home to five lakes – Erie, Chautauqua, Findley, Cassadaga and Bear – which offer a variety of nautical activities, Burdo said.

“You can rent boats, mostly on Chautauqua Lake; there’s charter fishing on Lake Erie; and there’s sailing school at Chautauqua,” she said. “There are two cruise boats on Chautauqua: the Chautauqua Belle, which is a steamboat that starts in Mayville (N.Y.) and offers narrated tours of the lake, and the Summer Wind, which is a more modern cruise ship with climate control, which goes out of Celoron (N.Y.).”

Evergreen Outfitters in Ashville, N.Y., a store that offers a variety of paddle sport and outdoor equipment, also offers kayaking tours to visitors.

“You can bring your boat and join the tour or you can rent the boat and equipment,” Burdo said. “Kayaking tours are visitor-friendly. They’re something you can join and do without a lot of preparation.” js

SUMMER

TREAT The Scoop on

Greater Cleveland

Ice Cream

By Kristen Mott

W

ith summer around the corner, ice cream will once again become everyone’s favorite cool treat. Luckily for Clevelanders, Northeast Ohio is filled with familyowned, local businesses that are dishing up unique and gourmet ice cream for customers to enjoy.

14 Jstyle

Summer 2013

jstylemagazine.com

Shelley Roth, Pierre’s Ice Cream Co.

S

tarted as a family business in 1932, Pierre’s Ice Cream Co. has been producing highquality, gourmet ice cream in Cleveland for decades. Shelley Roth, president and CEO, is following in her father’s footsteps by keeping the ice cream company one of the most successful and popular in the region.

Growing up, Roth often spent time with her father, Sol Roth, at Pierre’s and was exposed to the inner workings of the company. Despite spending many high school and college summers helping her father, she never expected to make the ice cream industry her profession, she said.

After graduating from University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Roth moved to New York City to work at Atlantic Records. Not long after, her father called and asked if she would come back to Cleveland to help with the business. Although Cleveland was not a thriving city during the 1970s, Roth said, she decided to return home.

“I made that decision 100 percent because I wanted to be there for my dad and thought it was really important and special that he sacrificed so much when I was growing up and supported me and worked so hard that I should at least come and help,” Roth said.

The decision turned out to be one of the best Roth ever made. Not only was she given the chance to work in a business at a time when many women were not being welcomed into major companies, she gathered innumerable memories while working with her father.

“It was a phenomenal, once-in-a-lifetime experience to work side-by-side with my father,” Roth said.

Pierre’s Ice Cream has undergone some transformations during its history. After it outgrew its old facility, a state-of-theart low-temperature distribution center and headquarters were built on Euclid Avenue in Cleveland's Central neighborhood in 1995. Roth noted that at the time the area was less than appealing, with shuttered factories and boarded-up windows lining the streets. But Roth was committed to keeping the business local and remaining in Cleveland.

“We were sort of pioneers in saying, ‘Yes, we’re staying and we’re going to continue to invest in this area,’” Roth said.

“Most of our market is in the Ohio area. To locate in another state wouldn’t make sense. We service this market, we should be here.”

In 2011 Pierre’s completed construction of its 35,000-square-foot ice cream factory adjacent to its headquarters, which icreased the amount of product being produced each year.

Although Pierre’s has experienced such major changes, one thing remains constant: its quality ice cream. The most popular flavor remains French vanilla, with classic vanilla and vanilla bean close behind. Other indulgent flavors are

jstylemagazine.com

popular among customers as well, including moosetracks, mint chip, butter pecan, cherry chocolate chunk, and cookies and cream.

Pierre’s recently expanded its product line by offering Pierre’s Slender, a no-sugar-added, reducedfat ice cream, as well as sorbets, frozen yogurt and pure fruit sherbet. Roth said she and her team work diligently to create good products that the public enjoys.

“I would like to see continued growth for the product line,” Roth said. “I think we’ve spent a lot of time developing some really amazing products that I think can sell outside this area where we’re well known.”

As Roth continues to analyze all the options for the company and expand the outreach of the business, she hopes to continue to put smiles on customers’ faces by producing quality treats and remaining a local business.

“We enjoy delighting our customers in this marketplace, so I think demonstrating to them that we care and we do things for the community in many different ways is nice for everyone concerned,” Roth said.

Pete & Mike Mitchell, Mitchell’s Ice Cream

rothers Pete, left, and Mike Mitchell never imagined they would own an ice cream business, but after much hard work, dedication and creativity they have turned Mitchell’s Ice Cream into a successful and widely popular local business.

While working in the Key Bank sales department, Pete and Mike began talking about some day starting a small business, and in doing so, stumbled upon the idea of an ice cream store. The brothers had no previous experience in the ice cream industry, let alone running a business, but they did have a passion for ice cream.

“We grew up with some of our fondest memories centered around ice cream,” Pete said. “We thought that if we really

Summer 2013 Jstyle

15

really applied ourselves and threw ourselves into this, we could learn enough to become good at making ice cream and make coming to an ice cream shop a great experience for customers.”

The brothers opened up the first Mitchell’s Ice Cream store on Oct. 6, 1999 in Westlake. Pete explained that their first full season was during the winter, which meant that business was very slow. However, the brothers received a bit of good fortune after Mitchell's Ice Cream was featured in a Plain Dealer article about local food producers. Soon, more people became aware of the company and it started to develop a loyal fan base.

One of the major draws of Mitchell’s Ice Cream is that it uses fresh, local and organic ingredients. Pete explained that the mint chocolate chunk ice cream uses locally sourced, organic peppermint from an herb farm in Ohio.

Pete said that classic flavors continue to be the most popular, including cookies and cream, butter pecan and mint chocolate chunk. Other flavors have also grown in popularity over the years, including caramel sea salt and wild berry crumble. The company also offers a variety of seasonal specials, such as Geauga maple walnut made with maple syrup from Munson Township, and strawberry rhubarb crisp made with fresh, local rhubarb.

In addition to its ingredients, Mitchell’s is known for unique flavors that customers won’t find elsewhere. Mike

is the mastermind behind the creative recipes and flavors, and has developed partnerships with local businesses to offer specialized products. Recently, Mitchell’s partnered with Cleveland-based Great Lakes Brewing Co. to produce a Great Lakes porter chocolate chunk ice cream that uses the brewery's Edmund Fitzgerald beer.

The brothers will soon move their production facility to a new store in Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood. The 100-year-old building, which used to be a vaudeville theater, will feature an outdoor marquee that highlights daily flavors, exposed-brick walls and an open kitchen in the back.

“The open kitchen will invite people to look inside, to smell, to hear the ice cream being made,” Pete said. “It’s going to be a really neat place that Clevelanders can be proud of and go to when they’re in the area.”

Now with seven stores operating in the Greater Cleveland area, Pete said the experience has been very fulfilling. He’s impressed with the amount of pride in Cleveland and said he and his brother have no desire to open stores anywhere outside of Northeast Ohio.

“Our ambition is to hopefully be a part of the Greater Cleveland communities that we’re in for our working lives,” Pete said. “Being a company unique to Cleveland – where you can’t get Mitchell’s anywhere but Greater Cleveland areas – Clevelanders appreciate that and want to support a local company. And we always intend to be that type of company."

Lisa Vinocur, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

R

ocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is a great place for chocolate lovers. With dozens of chocolate items to choose from, including truffles, fudge and dipped fruits, there’s something for everyone.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory appeals to ice cream lovers, too, by serving up delicious ice cream with locally produced toppings.

Lisa Vinocur and her husband, Peter, opened their Rocky Mountain store at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst five years ago. They started the business just as the recession hit and were anxious about how their store would fare. However, Vinocur said that not only has the store proven to be successful, chocolate and ice cream have remained an affordable luxury to people.

Their loyal customer base has been largely responsible for keeping the store successful.

“It’s fun to see a growing list of customers who have really become like friends and family to us,” Vinocur said.

“It’s nice to have a small business where you really get to know your clientele.”

Adam Fishman, Tremont Scoops

Vinocur said she likes to support local businesses, which is one of the reasons that her store uses Pierre’s ice cream.

She said that Pierre’s hand-packs the ice cream for them and provides special flavors that aren’t available in grocery stores.

Some of the most popular include cupcake, Superman, and their newest flavor, chocolate lava cake.

In keeping with the trend of supporting local businesses, Vinocur said her store uses Draeger’s hot fudge on Rocky Mountain’s hot fudge sundaes. Vinocur used to work at Draeger’s, in Shaker Heights, while she was in high school and was contacted by the company a few years ago to use its bottled hot chocolate in her store.

Rocky Mountain also makes fresh cones and waffle bowls in-house, old-fashioned milkshakes, and its own brand of hard-coat chocolate used to dip fruit and frozen cheesecake.

All of the products that are packaged are certified kosher.

Vinocur said she and her staff always set goals for themselves and that the store has been able to grow every year.

“I think we’ve grown into a business that has become a destination business,” Vinocur said. “We’re always trying to make sure we’re bringing in new items that are keeping up with the times.”

The Un-Ice Cream Menchie’s has quickly taken over the frozen yogurt scene by offering a unique and tasty experience for customers. Menchie’s allows customers to mix and match yogurt flavors and add an assortment of toppings, including nuts, fruit, sauces, cookies, candy bars and cereal.

Menchie's entire product line is certified kosher. It also offers a variety of dietary options for its yogurt, including gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan and fat-free flavors.

Robert Stark, CEO of Stark Enterprises, owns and operates 18 Menchie’s stores throughout Northeast Ohio.

Stark became aware of Menchie’s through his sons.

“The interest was garnered from my brother, who lived in Los Angeles about five years ago,” said Ezra Stark, son of Robert and director of asset management for Stark Enterprises. “He identified this new craze that was coming and thought it would be great for us to bring this new and exciting self-serve concept to the marketplace.” After meeting with the top executives at Menchie’s, Robert Stark decided to bring the franchise to Northeast Ohio. Ezra said Stark Enterprises is opening its 19th Menchie’s location in Macedonia this summer. The Northeast Ohio stores are also debuting their new frozen yogurt celebration cakes.

or years, Tremont Scoops was a local favorite among residents and visitors to the near West Side neighborhood. When long-time owner Mary Ann Ludwig decided to sell her business a year ago, many wondered what would happen to it.

In December 2012, Adam Fishman and five colleagues answered any questions surrounding the store's future by deciding to purchase it and keep it as Tremont Scoops.

Paul Weinzimmer, who sits on the board of directors for Tremont West Development, found out the building was for sale and began talking about starting a new business.

“We thought it was a cool opportunity to buy a neighborhood ice cream store and keep it a good place for kids and families in the neighborhood,” Fishman said.

The store underwent remodeling, including exposing a brick wall inside and giving the building a fresh coat of paint. The new owners also updated its logo and signage. Tremont Scoops' grand re-opening was April 6, and the store is set for a busy summer season.

Despite changes to the store's appearance and management, its menu largely has remained. Fishman said that he and his team tried to keep a lot of the menu intact, including some of the special dietary offerings like vegan and kosher ice creams. Two of the store’s most popular flavors are peanut butter overdose and salty caramel truffle.

Fishman said his top priority is to make sure people continue to be happy with the ice cream selection and to rotate specials throughout the season. He believes that Tremont Scoops is a great addition to the neighborhood.

“It’s a very friendly, accessible store,” Fishman said. It’s a great little spot in the neighborhood, you can walk right up and get some ice cream or a milkshake.”

Michigan – ‘the state up north’ to some Ohioans – is home to one of the country’s premier summer art fairs

“We got there late Friday afternoon, stayed overnight, went back the next morning when it opened and had to leave Saturday afternoon,” she explained, adding she’d have liked to spend at least two full days at the fair.

“I don’t think either of us realized how big it was going to be.”

The large-scale Ann Arbor Art Fair – which is actually four independently juried fairs held at the same time and thus considered one event – covers 17 city blocks, spokesperson Daniel Cherrin says.

“With more than 1,000 juried artists from all over the world, it’s one of the largest art fairs in the country,” he says, adding that it attracts about 500,000 people to the city each year.

The fair got its start when business owners sought a way to bring foot traffic to Ann Arbor while University of Michigan students were home for the summer. This year’s fair – which will be held from Wednesday, July 17, through Saturday, July 20 – marks its 54th annual installment. There will be 78 live performances as well as 40 artist demonstrations, and it will feature drawings, paintings, photography, printmaking, digital art, ceramics, fiber, glass jewelry and works in metal, stone and wood.

“I went there looking for something for my dining

room table, a pretty bowl or whatever, but I think everything there was beautiful,” Hersh says of her trip last year, adding she did in fact find a bowl she liked.

“They had a lot of variety.

There was something for everyone. The jewelry that was there, from classic to contemporary, they had all different types of things.”

Hersh also has visited Northeast Ohio art fairs at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst, Cain Park in Cleveland Heights, Crocker Park in Westlake and Boston Mills/ Brandywine in Peninsula, but acknowledged that none of them compare in size to The Ann Arbor Art Fair.

“Those are very nice, but there’s just so many vendors (in Ann Arbor),” she says.

“I’ve just never seen streets and streets of things to see. … It was very impressive.”

Cherrin, who married his wife, a Beachwood native, at B’nai Jeshurun Congregation in 2000, said the three-hour drive from Northeast Ohio to Ann Arbor makes for a convenient and enjoyable excursion.

range resident Maureen Hersh has only one regret about her first trip to The Ann Arbor Art Fair: she came home too soon. “I loved it. I just wish we had more time to spend there,” says the 53-year-old Hersh, who made the trip to Michigan last summer with a friend and fellow art enthusiast.

“For those in Cleveland, it’s a great day trip or weekend getaway,” he says, adding that the fair features several Northeast Ohio artists. “The art and the chance to interact with the artists make this such a unique event.”

In addition to the art, Cherrin considers the city itself an attraction.

“There’s a number of dynamic restaurants in and around Ann Arbor, and there are a number of unique shops that you may not find in Shaker Square, Beachwood Place or other places throughout Cleveland,” he says. “And because it’s summer and it’s the art fair, there are a number of sales (at local shops).”

Hersh agreed, adding that during her trip last year, she and her friend got to experience the university as well as some of the dining options.

“Somebody had recommended a nice restaurant for us to go to that evening, so we had a nice dinner,” she says, adding that on the whole, the fair was “nicely presented, very clean and very nicely done.”

Whether it’s this year or sometime down the road, Hersh is “absolutely” looking forward to her next trip north to visit The Ann Arbor Art Fair.

“It was a lot of fun,” she says. “I just wish we had more time.” js

Classic

convertibles bring out one’s inner kid

By Carlo Wolff Photos by Rob Ghosh

ee Wolff and Matt Harwood have a secret stash in their warehouse in Bedford Heights. It’s a collection of classic convertibles including a 1924 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, a 1948 Studebaker Champion, a 1941 Ford Super Deluxe, and a pair of Packards, one from 1941 and a smaller, more voluptuous 1949 successor. There’s also a 1947 Lincoln Continental – with a 12-cylinder engine. You know the place by the black 1966 Lincoln Continental with suicide doors that sits at the mouth of the cache.

If you’re looking for fuel efficiency, you’ve come to the wrong place. But if your constant cravings include fun, solidity and style, you’re home.

For Wolff and Harwood, home is actually more time than place. They’re fond of an era when cars had personalities – especially the convertible models, Vintage Motor Cars’ best sellers.

While nearly three decades separate Wolff and Harwood, there’s a family tie: Mitch and Jason, Lee and Pamela’s sons, bonded over cars with Matt when all three were kids.

Wolff and Harwood launched Vintage Motor Cars three years ago. Wolff lives in Orange, Harwood in Twinsburg.

Wolff is retired from the hotel and restaurant business.

Following World War II, Packard introduced an all-new series of cars like this Egyptian Sand convertible that were still elegant, but also sporty and powered by Packard’s famous straight-8 engines.

1947 Lincoln Continental Convertible. Virtually handbuilt, the V12 Continentals were the epitome of luxury and style in the 1940s. They were also technologically advanced, offering pushbutton doors, power windows and seats, and overdrive transmissions.

1948 Studebaker Champion Convertible. Studebaker beat most other manufacturers to the punch with an all-new design following World War II. The Champion proved that low price and high style were not mutually exclusive, and delivers thrifty, top-down fun.

Years ago, his family owned the Holiday Inns in Strongsville and Richfield, and in the ’80s he had the franchise for Tony Roma’s restaurants in the Cleveland market. In the Akron-Canton market, he was also a franchisee for Cici’s Pizza.

He sold his food business four years ago.

“This was always my passion, since the ’70s,” he says. “Matt and I go back to when my kids were 7 and 8 years old. Matt’s dad is a good friend and my attorney.” Both men love cars, particularly old ones.

They complement one another through their continuity.

1929 Ford Model A. The durable little Ford Model A roadster pickup is an ideal study in fun utility. Still functional as a pickup truck, it also offers top-down fun that gives the utilitarian truck an upscale personality.

“It’s like a small fraternity and you can’t be in it without being honest with people,” says Wolff.

“They’ve known Lee for 40 years, they’ve known me for 10,” says Harwood. “I go to every event and I’m the youngest by a generation.”

Wolff says most car lovers Harwood’s age hanker for the muscle cars of the ’70s, not the more classic models these two deal in. (They also deal in those muscle cars when called upon.)

Convertibles have a special appeal. “I think we sell more convertibles than anything because they’re more popular, more desired,” Wolff says. “People want a day when you get 75 degrees and sunny, you put that top down, you relive your youth.

“Convertibles (today) aren’t fun like they were in the ’50s and ’60s.”

Vintage Motor Cars sells most of its cars online.

“People will wire us $100,000 not even knowing who we are, based on our reputation,” says Wolff, noting that before they ship a car, Harwood takes pictures of the vehicle and describes it, warts and all.

“We don’t hide anything,”

says Wolff. “We tell them the truth about the cars.

There’s no such thing as a perfect old car.”

“The compliment we get most often is we presented the car exactly as it was,” says Harwood. “It speaks to our honesty and means the buyers are getting what they expect.”

Ford convertibles sell especially well. “Any Ford convertible has a very willing and ready audience,” Harwood says. “They’re well known, parts are easy to get, they’re reliable, they’re affordable – all the reasons they were popular when they were new.”

“So many people related to Fords,” says Wolff. “Their parents had Fords, they’re easy to drive.”

So what do these car connoisseurs drive? Wolff gets behind the wheel of a 2010 Cadillac CTS. Harwood pilots a 2005 Audi Allroad station wagon.

Northeast Ohio doesn’t yield that many buyers, but it “produces” a good deal of their inventory, Wolff says.

“This is a hobby that turned into a business,” he says.

“You can’t walk into this and not know cars,” Harwood says. js

hat exactly is an ultimate party? We asked a few local experts, including event planners Sherri Foxman, founder and chief creative officer of Party411, Melissa Miller, founder and president of Momentum Marketing and Event Planning, and Matt Radicelli, founder and owner of Rock the House, an event service company.

Foxman, who calls herself the “ultimate party girl,” defined an ultimate party as “over the top.”

“The budget is high, all the bells and whistles,” she said. “We have done many ultimate parties, but not as many as I’d like.”

Elements of a successful ultimate party include great entertainment and décor, Foxman said.

“You want to start off with the right invitations, so people who are coming know to expect the unexpected,” she said.

“People just go, ‘Oh, my God, I can’t believe they did that.’ ” Foxman, who has operated her Clevelandbased business since 1997, said Party411 planned an ultimate party about three years ago for a man’s 75th birthday party.

“The theme was film,” she said. “The person’s name was David, so instead of Oscars, we called them Davids. We brought in entertainment from out of town, (such as) singers from New York and celebrity lookalikes. We had a 400-foot red carpet, covered with a canopy, and four tents.

“Budget was no concern.

That, my friend, is an ultimate party.”

Party411 plans the enshrinement parties for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton every year, Foxman said.

jstylemagazine.com

“These are very overthe-top parties, sometimes costing hundreds of thousands of dollars,” she said. “We do them in tents.

For one party in 2011, we got an 18-wheeler from Popeyes chicken. At the end of each tent were illuminated balls showing photos of the inductees. There was a dance floor made especially for them, and Nelly and Snoop Dogg came in.

“We do six or seven parties in one night (for the HOF inductees). That was one of six parties we did that year.”

Recently, Party411 organized an 80th birthday party for a man at Executive Caterers at Landerhaven in Mayfield Heights.

“We turned the whole place into a museum of his collection, different things he collects,” Foxman said.

“People were walking through all his displays.

It screams ‘him.’ It really captures the person.”

Foxman said an ultimate party can be done on a low budget.

“It’s just about being creative,” she said. “That’s why people hire us. We come in and do the décor, and we make it different. It’s all in how you do it.”

Party411 prefers to have at least 12 weeks to plan a party, Foxman said, but she realizes it doesn’t always work out that way.

“People come to me three

weeks before the party, and we’re working on parties for 2015,” she said. “If we could have six months to a year, that would be great. If we can’t, we’re willing to work around it.”

Miller, who founded her Bedford Heights-based company in 2010, said the elements of a successful ultimate party are different for each person.

“Most people seem to be looking for the ‘wow’ factor – that moment when the guests enter the event space and are amazed at what they see,” she said. “This can include a number of different elements, from lighting to innovative centerpieces, and often adding dimension to the room by hanging things from the ceiling and alternating with the height of centerpieces on the tables.

“When you talk about ultimate parties, people who do things like that, they don’t miss a trick.”

Miller said her company almost always designs a logo for the event, which helps add design and continuity to it.

“Sometimes it’s the little touches that people remember the most,” she said. “Adding additional activities to your event, such as photo booths or fun games and props, is also a big hit with guests, especially if the event has a theme. Changing the shape of tables and using non-basic linens also helps add to the overall look.

“The most important thing as a planner is to listen to your clients and understand what they are envisioning so that you can bring it to life.”

Momentum Marketing and Event Planning does quite a few bar and bat mitzvahs,

some of which turn into ultimate parties, Miller said.

“In some cases, the tables, chairs, china and silverware provided by the venue are not of high enough quality for the client; they want to upgrade,” she said.

“We’ve had parties where we’ve had chandeliers over every table, and we bring external lighting, which adds an extra level of light and décor. The dance floor is lit up, and we do other things to keep people entertained in case the dancing is not enough.

“We’ve made it look like a rock concert, with speakers behind the stage. It creates a different level. Some of the guests had numerous costume changes.”

One doesn’t need a large budget to do an ultimate party, but it does help, Miller said.

“Because of the working relationship we have with our vendors, we’re able to take people’s budgets and give the impression they’re spending a lot of money,” she said.

Miller said her company likes to have at least six months notice to plan a party “so we can ensure that every little detail is attended to.”

“Although we can usually help people pull an event together in as little as a month, it is not preferred,” she said. “Certainly there is the issue of booking things in advance, and waiting until the last minute may mean that some venues or vendors may not be available.”

Rock the House, based in Oakwood, is a full-service entertainment production company founded by Radicelli in 1999. He said he and his staff have another term for ultimate parties: signature events.

“The customer is looking

to do something a little more unique,” he said. “They trust the team they have hired to implement and create a very fresh and unique concept.

“These events are generally overseen by our project management staff because they have a lot of moving parts. They tend to have a larger budget. But unique doesn’t always mean expensive; bigger is not always better.”

Entertainment and lighting usually play key roles in signature events, Radicelli said.

“There are usually multiple types of entertainment, such as DJs, photo booths, video, or live music,” he said.

“It’s taking what you would do at a typical party to the next level. Because of the technology today, it allows

ew

The N

things in every category to be seen as new and fresh.”

Lighting is consistently important in such parties and can have a dramatic impact, Radicelli said.

“The event starts the moment you step out of your car, not just with the guy at the microphone or on the dance floor,” he said.

A different style of invitation sets up the event to be more of an experience, Radicelli said.

“We have a single point of contact,” he said. “(The client) is paired up with someone, led through the process and guided.

You tend to have less micromanagement across the board. Clients tend to be less involved in the momentto-moment activity than with a typical party, and they are

more often able to enjoy their guests rather than taking on the role of party planner.”

Rock the House typically likes to have between 18 and 24 weeks to plan a signature event, Radicelli said.

“But if you’ve only got six weeks, we will take it,” he said.

Foxman, Miller and Radicelli all said there’s no charge for a first visit to discuss how to plan a party.

“We do work with any budget,” Foxman said. “You can do an over-the-top party with creativity. You don’t need $100,000; you just need time to do it.”

Most parties don’t begin as a signature event, Radicelli said.

“Then it evolves, and it becomes a different style of party,” he said. js

My Style: Fun, Sophisticated, Eclectic.

Fashion Lesson: Be true to yourself and your own style, dress for yourself and no one else, make sure its classy and know that, “someone is always looking” …

From my Mom, Dora, who still to this day, at almost 94 dresses with her own style of understated elegance.

Favorite Season: Summer, the colors seem to always be more vibrant, and there are so many more options to dress – from work to play.

In My Closet: A signed pair of “Brain Atwood” exclusive shoes and my trendy chef clothes. I will admit I am a snob when it comes to my chef clothes. I help design my jackets and of course the whole look. I want to feel good all day when I work from sunup to sundown in anything I wear.

Shopping in CLE: Knuth’s and Nordstrom, you can find anything you want between the two.

Fashion Idol: Ralph Lauren, because I not only studied his style in college, but his iconic style is so eclectic, elegant, trendy yet so sophisticated, especially his couture line. I dream some day of wearing one of his gowns on The Red Carpet … I said a dream.

Trend you wish never existed: Flashdance! If you are old enough, you will get it.

Latest Fashion Purchase: A fabulous, trendy pair of designer one of a kind, Dankso Chef Clogs. I have to keep things exciting at work when dipping and sprinkling all day.

Most Trust Worthy Source for Fashion Advice: Women’s Wear Daily, A legend in the fashion industry, but I would love to mention Tory Burch and Mackenzie Child, because they took their passion; their style; and turned it into their dreams!

Pumps by Brian Atwood from Saks Fifth Avenue

Summer 2013

My Style: Classic, comfortable and feminine Fashion Lesson: My Mom always told me to buy things that I could mix and match and of course to always wear underwear in case you are in an accident … gotta love Moms!

Summer Style: I love sun dresses and wearing open toe shoes, which is also a great excuse to get more pedicures.

In My Closet: Long black jacket and jeans/leggings … you can dress it up or down.

Shopping in CLE: Banyan Tree in Tremont … LOVE that store and they always have the coolest jewelry.

Summer Must Have: I see monochrome is making a comeback this summer which thrills me because I love black and white. I see I will have to pay a visit to White House/Black Market.

Fashion Idol: My Mother … she is ALWAYS put together, even to go to the grocery store. She was always on top of all the fashion trends.

Trend you wish never existed: Baggy pants with underwear showing.

Latest fashion purchase: Leggings …. can’t live without them!

Fashion advice: My husband and my 20-year-old daughter … If they don’t like the way something looks on me, I listen.

What'sMyStyle

Ben Yabrow

Lauren Cohen

Goalie, AFC Cleveland Royals

Lululemon Athletica

(Cleveland's SemiProfesional Soccer Team)

My Style: Bohemian, Eclectic, Feminine.

My Style: Clean, classic, professional.

In My Closet: The two things in my closet that I absolutely love right now are one of my 2-button, tweed sport coats and my gray suit vest.

Shopping in CLE: I find myself at J.Crew whenever I go to the mall. I love the colors and the cut of their clothing. Soccer players aren’t traditionally thought of as large, and their slim fitting clothing is perfect.

Summer Style: A linen sport coat. It’s light enough to wear in the summer heat, and it will keep you warm when temperatures drop at night. A linen sport coat goes well with and Oxford and a pair of slacks or with shorts and a V-neck T-shirt.

Fashion Idol: Is a fictional character an appropriate answer? If so, I’d have to say Ryan Gosling’s character in “Crazy, Stupid Love.” I literally went out and bought a suit the next day. I usually look like I walked out of a J.Crew catalog, so I can’t really claim this style as my own.

Trend You Wish Never Existed: I really dislike this whole swag epidemic. Not just the attire, but the attitude as well. I’m an adult, so I try my hardest to dress like one.

Fashion Lesson: Always dress how you feel most beautiful. – from my great grandma.

Favorite Fashion Season: Fall is my favorite season, and not only for fashion! I feel as though fall is the beginning of the designer’s vision for the year, when we really start to see trends emerging.

In my closet: My Frye boots and my black Paige pants.

Shopping in CLE: Anthropologie.

Summer Must Have: A great wedge.

Fashion Idol: I love Rachel Bilson for her Bohemian sense of style and admire Leighton Meister’s chic simplicity.

Signature Style: Skinny jeans, flowy colorful top, exotic, yet timeless jewelry.

Trend You Wish Never Existed: Harem pants.

Fashion Must Have: Brown double buckle monk strap dress shoes by Gordon Rush.

Fashion Lesson: I would have to say there are two that I really live by. The first is a classic that my father told me when I was younger: “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” I’m not really sure where I heard the second one, but I think it’s great: “When in doubt, overdress.”

Latest Fashion Purchase: Button-up leopard-print dress.

Most Trustworthy Source for Fashion Advice: My best friend because she is always honest and upfront.

A Backyard V on the East Side

‘Victorian’ mansion a home to live in – and out

By Carlo Wolff

T

here’s a part of the basement in the house known as “The Victorian” that is dedicated to golf. Assume the stance on a patch of green, punch up the wall control to select the course you want to play, grab your favorite club, and hit the ball. Watch it bounce off the wall onto the virtual course. See the ball roll.

If need be, you can electronically adjust the temperature, how windy it is, the degree of sunlight. That patch is the next best thing to being there. This virtual game, kind of a room-sized app, brings the outside inside.

Summer 2013

The razzle-dazzle extends to the back yard.

It’s a poolside resort.

There’s a cabana with a stone floor, rustic cabinetry and a dryer in case you need to fluff up moist towels.

There’s a huge, multi-tiered

pool with a programmable waterfall. A sundeck feature inside the curvy pool includes a section just 7 inches deep so you can put your deck chair in the water. Chaise longues flank an area conveniently close to the pool.

Want pizza? There’s a kitchen area complete with a pizza oven imported from Naples (Italy, not Florida) flanking the house, a wildly modern, technologically overthe-top version of a Victorian mansion with a modernized, wraparound porch.

Pick your slice, park yourself in one of the capacious wicker chairs stacked around a large table. Settle in, kick back

jstylemagazine.com

d Vacation and watch the TV above the wood-burning fireplace (a gas starter helps), which brings warmth and a sense of centeredness to this singular outdoor space. Like the rest of this 10,000-square-foot home for six, that gathering space is both casual and overthe-top. Like the rest of the house, this covered patio is not ostentatious.

This house is more playing field than showcase. It puts

jstylemagazine.com

the fun into functional.

Mr. and Mrs. Owner are enthusiastic about their geothermally heated home, which is both smart and green. They don’t want their names mentioned, but are happy to comment along with Alan Brown, owner of Premier Custom Builders, the Chagrin Falls firm that built the house over 20 months.

(In 2013, the house won for best architectural exterior

design for a structure greater than 4,001 square feet and for landscaping from the Cleveland Choice Awards.)

The owners moved in a year ago. They love it.

They also put everything into it that they wanted, including bedrooms for their four children that the kids designed themselves. Their two canines even have their own “dog wash” in the three-car part of garages

accommodating a total of five cars.

“When we built this house, we wanted a house where people could kick their shoes off, put their feet up and feel comfortable,” says Mr. Owner.

“We wanted the whole project, from inside to outside, to feel like it’s just growing up out of the ground instead of feeling like it’s just plopped there,” says Brown.

“He was able to take our vision and build it,” says Mr. Owner. “It was hard because we were just giving him the thoughts. This is not just a home. It became a lifestyle.”

“Building is a partnership between the client and us,” says Brown. “We accomplish that by bringing in all the experts to create that vision.”

That means engineers to place sensors in the poolside flagstones that heat the

ground during winter and keep it snow-free. It means experts in counter tops to select a stone counter sparkling with amethyst chips to mimic the wine in the basement wine room.

It means knowing where to find the right pieces for the parquet floor – pegged, not nailed – in one of the daughter’s bedrooms. It means leather specialists choosing just the right nap for the suede walls in the home theater room in the

basement. And it means Mrs. Owner filling in Mr. Owner’s Big Picture with details like copper gutters.

It also means translating to their suburban mansion what Mr. and Mrs. Owner like best about the deluxe hotels they stay in during their journeys. “We travel a lot and stay at hotels like the Ritz-Carlton and the Four Seasons,” says Mr. Owner, “and we take a lot from that.” The resort touch is evident in the sophisticated

lighting and sound systems, and period touches like the vintage New Orleans lanterns that glow poolside at dusk.

“The owner said there was nothing he would do differently if he had to do it over again,” Brown says. “That’s what is most satisfying to me.

“What was special about this was really customizing all the details to get them to the owner’s vision,” he says.

“We realized it to a T.” js

Ivan Platt & Bob Olgin East Coast Custard

M

any Northeast Ohioans have fond memories of visiting Euclid Beach Park as a child. Besides the amusement park rides and vaudeville acts, Euclid Beach Park was known for its frozen custard.

When Euclid Beach closed in 1969, its frozen custard disappeared from the area. Clevelanders Ivan Platt and Bob Olgin decided to try to bring the frozen custard back to the city, and East Coast Custard was soon created.

“The main goal was to produce and recreate the frozen custard that people remembered from Euclid Beach Park,” Platt said. “It was just fantastic, creamy and fresh.”

The first East Coast Custard store opened in 1985 in Parma Heights. Platt and Olgin designed a special apparatus that could make real frozen yogurt. In keeping with the history of Euclid Beach, the machines created fresh custard that customers could watch coming out and being scooped onto cones.

The custard differs from ice cream in that it contains a low percentage of air, a high percentage of cream and a small amount of egg yolk. Although East Coast Custard now produces more than 100 flavors, vanilla and chocolate remain the most popular. The store also sells frozen yogurt, smoothies, sweet ice, and fat-free and sugar-free products.

“We’ve diversified our product line through the years and that’s been a big factor in adapting,” Platt said.

East Coast Custard has expanded to five stores, with the

original still standing in Parma Heights.

Platt said he has also recently gotten into the truck catering business. East Coast Custard now operates three trucks to deliver frozen custard to any event, from birthday parties to corporate meetings to weddings.

“We take the custard to people who love our products and want to have it at their parties,” Platt said.

East Coast Custard has received national attention as well, and was featured on the Food Channel’s popular show “Unwrapped.” As East Coast Custard creates new products, Platt continues his commitment to making fresh, high-quality custard that customers will enjoy.

“We want to continue to provide our customers with outstanding service and products by keeping our custard and yogurt products fresh,” Platt said. js
