Dublin St. Patrick’s Day Celebration

Detective Gilleland – an Irishman – will lead parade

planner Justin Goodwin said, and a few homes border at the south.

The land that would be rezoned from rural to planned unit development is also bisected by a northern tributary of Indian Run.

A Dublin police detective and Irishman will lead the 2013 Dublin St. Patrick’s Day Celebration parade.

Det. Erik Gilleland will lead the Saturday, March 16, parade that will take about 100 units through Historic Dublin beginning at 11 a.m.

“I was named the 2012 Officer of the Year and the chief (Heinz von Eckartsberg) came to me a couple of weeks ago and told me,” Gilleland said. “ ‘The Officer of the Year and Civilian of the Year will lead the parade this year,’ ” Gilleland said. The Civilian of the Year is communications technician Lauran Yankanin.

St. Patrick’s Day is never boring for Gilleland, who is usually in the Dublin and Columbus parades.

“I’m a longtime member of the Emerald Society of Columbus and the Columbus Shamrock Club,” he said, adding his daughter often performs in the parades with Irish dancing.

One of Gilleland’s favorite parts of the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Dublin is the unity among Columbus Irish organizations.

“What I like in the Dublin parade is most Irish organizations march with the Clann na nGael section,” he said.

Clann na nGael is Gaelic and means “One Family – Irish.”

For volunteer Art Robertson, the best part of the St. Patrick’s Day parade is seeing what has changed.

“I do look forward to seeing which balloons they have from year to year,” Robertson said.

“They have changed them up,” he said. “I like seeing what’s changed (and) what’s stayed the same.

“I like seeing people who volunteer from year to year.”

Robertson, who is often referred to as “Mr. Fest” by his friends because of the many central Ohio events he volunteers at, handles getting the balloons into the lineup.

Celtic Crossing

Tree waiver sticking point for development

By JENNIFER NOBLIT THISWEEKNEWS.COM Another residential development could be coming to Dublin’s northwest side.

Dublin City Council members this week heard the first reading of a preliminary development plan and preliminary plat for

a 44 single-family home development near Jerome High School.

The development, Celtic Crossing, is proposed for 28.1 acres on the west side of Hyland-Croy Road and north of MitchellDewitt Road.

Portions of the land to the north and west are bordered by Glacier Ridge Metro Park,

“I look forward to that.”

St. Patrick’s Day Celebration festivities in Dublin will begin at 7 a.m. Saturday as the Dublin Lion’s Club serves up pancakes at Sells Middle School, 150 W. Bridge St., until 11 a.m.

Adults can eat for $6 and children 12 years old and younger are $4.

The inflation celebration will show parade balloon preparation at 9:30 a.m. at Metro Center, 500 Metro Place North.

The Hooligans will play for paradegoers from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. on the Bridge Street review stand near Indian Run Elementary School.

The parade will step off from Metro Center at 11 a.m. and wind its way down Bridge Street before heading south at High Street.

For more information about St. Patrick’s Day Celebration events in Dublin, look online at dublinohiousa.gov/events/st-patricks-day-parade.

His current volunteer job, which he also does at Dublin’s Independence Day parade, came to him when he was handed a clipboard during parade lineup.

The next year he was contacted and asked to return.

“They had a plan for me,” Robertson said.

“I took the plan and modified it a bit and executed it and now it’s my thing,” he said.

“There’s no formal name, but I guess I’m the balloon merge coordinator.”

Robertson formerly worked in Dublin and lives in Columbus.

The thanks he gets has kept him returning to Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Day and Independence Day parades over the past six years.

“I like the feeling of being wanted there and I think Dublin does a very good job of making volunteers feel wanted and appreciated,” he said. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com

As proposed, Celtic Crossing would have 8.75 acres of open space, with entrances off Hyland-Croy and MitchellDewitt roads.

With 44 single-family homes proposed, the development carries a density of 1.57 units per acre and the community plan recommends 1.5 units per acre, Goodwin said.

The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval for both the preliminary development plan and preliminary plat.

The removal of some trees

on the land caused some council members concern, though.

The preliminary development plan includes a tree waiver, which would allow the developer to replace some trees in a tree-for-tree manner rather than inch-by-inch (in width of the tree).

According to the staff report to council, 304 inches of trees have been identified for removal, along with another 22 trees along the stream where a road will be built and four others at the southwest corner of the site.

“How is this an advantage to the city,” Council Member

Marilee Chinnici-Zuercher asked.

Planners anticipated that a stream crossing would have to be built and the trees removed, Goodwin said.

Chinnici-Zuercher continued to question why the developer would not have to replace the trees removed with trees similar in size.

“I don’t think I can support something that includes the (tree) waiver in the text,” Councilwoman Cathy Boring agreed. “I think it needs to come before council so we can deal with it.”

Kevin McCauley, a representative of land owner and developer Stavroff Interests, said the trees will be replaced with street trees and landscaping, and the waiver was requested to save time.

“Even with the waiver ... this site ends up with more trees than it had,” he said.

Council members asked staff to remove the tree waiver from the preliminary development plan before it returns to them for a vote April 8. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com

Bureau’s Irish Experience Grant program proving popular

By JENNIFER NOBLIT THISWEEKNEWS.COM Dublin businesses are trying to increase Irish appeal to win visitors.

The Dublin Convention and Visitors Bureau this week announced its first grant recipients for the Irish Experience Grant Program.

Four Dublin businesses will get $7,075 from the new grant program that works to increase Irish events to build on Dublin’s brand, “Irish is an attitude,” and attract more visitors.

“The research told us they’re not getting as much of an Irish experience as they hoped for,” Scott Dring, convention and visitors bureau executive director, previously told the Dublin Villager.

“They (visitors) have more of an appetite for Irish experiences,” Dring said.

The new grant program has $15,000 in its coffers for the first year.

Half of the funding came from the Convention and Visitors Bureau and half from a Dublin bed tax grant.

The grants will be handed out twice a year and the inaugural round drew applications for more than 30 events.

“When we started the program last year, we were able to partner with Dublin, who provided a tax grant and we matched that,” Dring said.

“We didn’t know what response we would get for applications for the grants,” Dring said.

“We received seven applications for 35 Irish

experiences for the first round,” he said.

“We didn’t have enough money to fulfill the first round of applications. We didn’t expect to have that many applications.”

Winners of the first round of grants include Embassy Suites Dublin, which will get $1,000 for an Irish New Year’s Eve package.

The new event at the hotel will work to attract families with a magician, Irish dancer and a disc jockey, Dring said.

“There may be some kind of hands-on dancing going on the kids can enjoy,” he said.

“It will very much be a family event that will encourage families to bring kids and do something different.”

Other grant winners include the Historic Dublin Business Association with $1,800 for the new Jig Thursdays that are held in Historic Dublin the first Thursday of each month.

The inaugural Jig was held March 7 and included a Best Legs in a Kilt contest.

Tehku Tea Co. won $2,275 for three events including Irish music performances slated for May, August and October; an Irish cooking class with tea tasting in September; and a workshop series of Irish story-telling and book signings in March, July and September.

Mezzo received a $2,000 grant to help fund themed dinners from 5 to 7 p.m. March 17, April 21, May 19, June 16, July 21 and Aug. 18.

The dinners will include Irish food, music,

Hoadley received a five-year contract with an annual salary of $163,000.

The contract also includes incentive pay at 2 percent of base pay for each performance goal reached, although no more than four goals are included.

Longevity pay of $500 each year of the contract was included.

The district will also pay 85 percent of Hoadley’s medical, dental and vision insurance at $20,419, as well as Medicare and retirement payments to STRS. Hoadley’s contract includes

$150 per month for technology, $400 per month for auto expenses and a moving reimbursement of up to $12,000.

Hoadley will also received 30 days of vacation, five personal days and 15 sick days each year.

Hoadley will provide consulting services starting March 13 and will take the reins of Dublin City Schools as superintendent Aug. 1, the contract said.

Axner is leaving the district to be associate executive director of the Ohio Association of Secondary School Administrators.

Electrical equipment third leading cause of home fires

Grant applications for the second half of 2013 are due July 15 and will be reviewed by a 10-person committee.

“It has representatives from the city of Dublin, from Dublin Irish Festival staff and from the convention and visitors bureau board of directors,” Dring said.

“The bureau staff facilitate things and let the committee determine who the grant recipients are.”

All Irish Experience Grant events will be promoted by the convention and visitors bureau.

Most of us would agree that life would be more difficult without the use of electricity to heat, cool and light our homes and businesses, and operate our appliances and tools.

Although electrical equipment provides everyday conveniences, it has become the third leading cause of home fires and the second in fire deaths.

Fires from short circuits and faulty wiring kill hundreds of people and injure thousands more annually.

With the danger of electrical fires ever present, taking precautions is fundamental to using electricity wisely.

Plug in only as many appliances as an outlet can support directly. Do not use un-fused, multi-plug adapters or power strips because the electrical circuit might not be able to support the demand for that amount of current.

Use extension cords only for temporary portable equipment, not in place of your home’s permanent ALAN wiring. Equipment supplied PERKINS with electricity by an extension cord must have a lower amperage rating than that of the extension cord.

Using an extension cord for a portable heater, which requires a lot of amperage, could cause the extension cord to overheat at the cord end and outlet and

start a fire.

Replace or have repaired by an electrician any frayed, split, cracked or otherwise damaged cords. Damaged cords can cause a short in the circuit, heat up, and start a fire. Wrapping electrical tape around a damaged cord may not repair it.

When removing an electrical cord from an outlet, grasp on the plug portion instead of the cord.

Do not lay cords under rugs, over nails or hooks, or through doorways or windows where they might get cut or split and cause a fire or shock hazard.

If you have small children in

your home, cover unused electrical outlets with plastic safety caps.

Use bulbs that match the recommended wattage for an appliance or light fixture. Bulbs with wattages in excess of what is recommended may give off enough heat to start a fire.

If outlets or switch boxes are cracked or discolored, turn the circuit off and have them checked by an electrician. They might need to be replaced.

Keep heat-generating appliances and light bulbs away from anything flammable.

Allow sufficient space around stereos, televisions and com-

puters to prevent over-heating.

Purchase appliances and cords with the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) or FM (Factory Mutual) label indicating they have been tested for safety.

Consider having additional circuits and outlets added to your home by an electrician, especially if you are using extension cords and power strips. The price tag will not be near what an electrical fire would cost in money and lives.

Balancing act

Vacation bug me? Uh, – not a bit If I aspire to anything as a parent of grown children, it’s to be unruffled.

“She just goes with the flow,” I want them to say.

I thought I was doing a pretty good job of being Ms. Nonchalant till my daughterin-law picked me up at the Phoenix airport last month and mentioned we’d all be staying at a hotel for the night.

“The pest control people are fumigating for bedbugs early in the morning,” she explained. “Apparently we brought them back from vacation.”

I tried to look unsurprised, as if I often roomed with bedbugs except when the fumigators were there. But I could feel my anxiety shooting skyhigh when she threw my suitcase in the trunk of her car and then reached around to scratch her back.

By the time we were on the freeway, I was wondering how often bedbugs travel from the house to a car, whether they had possibly made the trip from the house to this particular car, and why my back was also starting to itch. I became so engrossed in the possibilities that I hardly noticed she’d pulled in front of the house.

“Make yourself comfortable,” she said. “I’ve got to run back to the office.” I tried to look unfazed.

“Isn’t Tempe’s best bookstore practically around the corner?” I asked. “I would really love to go there for lunch and to browse.”

“It may be awhile,” she said.

“I really like books,” said I. “I REALLY like books.”

She drove me there, but I did not look at books. Not even one. Instead, I plugged in my laptop and began Googling everything there was to know about bedbugs.

The results were not comforting. They are very difficult and expensive to get rid of. Sometimes they do get in cars. More than one fumigation treatment may be required. Putting your clothes in the dryer at high heat can kill them. So can special mattress covers. And when traveling, it pays to check the mattresses, box springs, and even behind the headboards and artwork for signs of the critters, which are pictured online in every possible grotesque pose.

In other words, pack your

flashlight and hold your breath.

None of this information did much for my nonchaPAT lance.

I SNYDER tried to be off-handed when I later announced that while they were going to soldier back to the house after the first night, I had decided to stay at the hotel for the entire visit “just to be on the safe side.” When they offered me one of their cars, I developed an urgent need to walk and get exercise.

I probably blew any semblance of cool, calm and collected when my son (ironically nicknamed “Li’l Bug” since childhood) stopped by my hotel room and noticed that I’d covered the places he’d sat the day before with bath towels. I was hoping to suffocate any hitchhikers that had arrived on his jeans. At least I didn’t mention my safe reentry plan into Columbus: putting my traveling clothes in the dryer and wrapping my suitcase in a giant plastic bag from the hotel cleaning woman before I threw it in my trunk.

Apparently, the plan worked, at least according to the bedbug detection dog I hired here. When I hauled my suitcase and belongings to her the morning after I got home, no critters sent her yapping.

She was terminally bored. That was after my dramatic arrival the night before, when I’d stripped in the garage, dashed into the shower, and checked every mattress, box spring and headboard in my own house, in hopes that my adventure would not have an ironic and troubling ending. Happily, it did not.

Certifiably bedbug-free, I have finally stopped itching.

And the vacation, at a distance, is beginning to feel like an interesting adventure.

“Great time!” I’ve told Li’l Bug. With all the nonchalance I can muster.

As it were

Streetcar history could repeat itself For most of the last 30 years or so, American historians have been strongly influenced by the notion that the streetcar changed the way Americans lived about 100 years ago. The general theory goes something like this: Until the late nineteenth century, most American cities were “walking cities.” People walked to work; they walked to school; they walked to the market: they walked to church; they walked to visit friends.

If someone was a person of means and an appointment was some distance away, one went to the stable, had a servant hitch the horse to the carriage and drive to the meeting. And then one had to return home, unhitch the horse, rub down and feed the horse, and clean off the carriage. All of this meant that most people walked most of their time to most of their commitments.

And then the streetcar came along and changed everything.

Now one could board a streetcar and for a small sum – a penny or two – be transported to another part of town. And that was probably true – as far it goes.

Let’s look at Columbus as an example.

In 1863, the first streetcar appeared on the streets of Columbus. The horse-drawn, one-car conveyance transported travelers along High Street from the Railroad Station (at Nationwide Boulevard) to the Courthouse at Mound Street. Since the Civil War was underway and there were a lot of new people in town besides the usual 18,000 residents, the new streetcar was a success.

After the war, the success of the streetcar was not all that certain. The High Street line

remained viable as a number of new streetcar lines came into being and comED peted with the original LENTZ High Street line. This was not as easy as one might think. Unlike cab or omnibus lines, the streetcar lines required metal tracks. That having been said, a number of people saw money in this new form of transportation and formed syndicates to finance the new lines. Over the years after 1863, Columbus saw the development of several different streetcar lines serving various neighborhoods around the city.

Generally they were not very successful.

The reasons why were not hard to find. The early streetcars were open carriages. They were hot in the summer and cold in the winter. They were horse drawn and were rather slow. And the horses left occasional deposits not all that refreshing to smell as the car moved over them.

Then things changed - rather rapidly.

In 1888, an experimental electric streetcar operated from High Street to the Ohio State Fairgrounds as part of the Columbus Centennial celebration. It was temporary but was quite popular.

In short order, other streetcar companies in Columbus began to experiment as well.

For example, the Glenwood and Greenlawn Street Railway Company operated from High Street to the institutions on the Hilltop.

Over the years of the 1890s,

COURTESY OF THE COLUMBUS METROPOLITAN LIBRARY

several local streetcar companies were absorbed into a new and larger streetcar company The Columbus Consolidated Street Railway Company soon became the Columbus Street Railway Company. By 1893, the local electric streetcar company and the local electric company were merged into the Columbus Railway and Light Company.

In a major move, the local company purchased the Central Market Street Railway and its options to buy lines in Westerville and points east. By 1904, the company had become the Columbus Railway Power and Light Company.

Over the next several years, the new company went through a number of important events.

In the years after the 1913 flood, the streetcar became the primary way to get from place to place in Columbus.

And it was in those years that the streetcar became an important economic engine for Columbus. The streetcar became the way people moved from one place to another. It was fast and easy and cheap.

And it was the way most of the

“new middle-class people” preferred to get from place to place.

The streetcar system served Columbus well for many years.

But in the years after World War II, it soon became obsolete.

With the development of national, state and local paved “good roads”, a new model of urban transportation favored cars, buses and trucks as the primary means of getting around. The last streetcar run in Columbus was on Sept. 5, 1948.

With the development of the interstate highway system in the 1950s and 1960s it soon was often assumed that the electrified streetcar had no place in this new world of transportation. Or at least so it seemed.

It was only in the first years of the new millennium that we began to realize that the electrified streetcar might make a return to our modern world.

Streetcars made sense once and they very well might be with us again in the not all that distant future.

Columbus St. Patrick’s Day

Honorees have rich club history

By GARY SEMAN J R . and JENNIFER NOBLIT THISWEEKNEWS.COM Jim Casey will be front and center at the Columbus St. Patrick’s Day parade and Francis Doyle will be right behind him.

Casey, of the Northwest Side, has been named parade grand marshal and Doyle, who lives in Dublin, has been named Irishman of the year for the Shamrock Club of Columbus.

That means both will have prominent positions as the parade wends its way from Nationwide Arena west to the Franklin County Veterans Memorial Sunday, March 17.

The parade will have more than 100 marching bands, floats, equestrian units, walking units and motorized units. It will begin at 11:30 a.m. It draws thousands of spectators, who line each side of the parade route.

Casey, who’s been involved with the organization since 1992, said he’s honored to be chosen as grand marshal.

“I’m not one who joins an organization and takes up a seat at a meeting – I get active,” said Casey, who was president of the Shamrock Club in 1998.

Doyle was president of the Shamrock Club in 2010 and knows how hard it is to pick someone for the club’s top award.

“The Shamrock Club is like any other organization and volunteers are the lifeblood and what sustains it as an organization,” Doyle said.

“I know full well how hard a decision it is to make,” he said.

“This club has so many volunteers who donate time and energy to make it a success.”

Each was chosen by current Shamrock Club President John Connor, a judge in Ohio’s 10th District Court of Appeals.

with his family behind a banner announcing the honor.

Doyle, a 24-year Dublin resident and a longtime Clintonville resident prior to that, plans to sport a hat that has seen decades of St. Patrick’s Day parades.

“I have a top hat my father gave me that he bought in 1926,” Doyle said. “It’s a true beaver

top hat that I only wear on St. Patrick’s Day. “Nobody touches it but me.

This hat has been in the parade since the 1920s.”

Casey, 72, moved to Columbus in 1968, shortly after earning his doctorate in chemistry from the University of Missouri.

Catholic Church, where he is a member, told him to look into joining the Shamrock Club.

Casey, who retired from Chemical Abstract Services in 2004, said he plans to stay involved with the club.

“I like all the people,” he said.

“I’ve been in Columbus for more than 40 years. Most of my friends are at the Shamrock Club.”

Doyle, 69, has been involved with the Shamrock Club since 1969 – with a three-year sabbatical when he was transferred to Virginia for work – and said he loves its numerous events.

He’s also proud of the work the Shamrock Club has done through the Monsignor J. Colby Grimes Memorial Scholarship that gives five $1,000 awards to students at Columbus’s five Catholic high schools.

“It’s probably the best thing I think we do as a club,” Doyle said. “The volunteer hours they spend is enormous during the year.

“And once you start volunteering, it becomes habitual.”

Other 2013 Shamrock Club of Columbus honorees include members of the year Ann Ralston, of northwest Columbus, and Tim Krumlauf, of Madison Township in southeastern Franklin County.

President’s Award winners were Chris Konik of Delaware and Tony Hatem of Amanda.

by Rick Dye Employee Owner WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A BIND When interior doors sag or bind due to hinge-leaf screws that have worked loose, the fix does not necessarily require that the door be removed. Instead, support the door by opening it wide and inserting a wedge under the latch edge. Then, remove the loose hinge-leaf screws and determine whether or not the leaf will accept larger-diameter screws.

If so, install them and retighten the hinge. Otherwise, you can reuse the original screws by widening the screw holes with a quarter-inch drill bit and then hammering lengths of quarter-inch dowel (coated with glue) into the holes. Work on one hinge leaf at a time. Finally, reposition the hinge leaf and secure it by driving the screws into the dowels.

Is your door binding? If so, this is a fast fix that will dramatically improve your quality of life (no more banging doors). And we’ve got everything you need at ROUSH HARDWARE, from leaf-hinge screws and shims to dowels and glue. And our knowledgeable staff members will be happy to make sure you understand the procedure so you only need to do the repair once! Call 614-764-8900 if you have any questions. Our address is 373 W.

HINT: If loose hinge leaves are not the cause of a door binding on the latch edge, try shimming out the top hinge to cure a bind near the bottom, or shim the bottom hinge for binds near the top.

Real-life experiences form foundation of Wieland’s messages

By JENNIFER NOBLIT THISWEEKNEWS.COM

Bob Wieland, who lost both legs in the Vietnam War, has walked across the country on his hands and completed an IronMan competition without a wheelchair. Wieland will speak at Jerome High School next week.

Bob Wieland has faced more challenges than most in his 67 years.

Wieland, also known as “Mr. Inspiration,” lost his legs in the Vietnam War in 1969, but hasn’t let that stop him from taking bench press titles, completing an Iron Man triathlon and cycling across the country.

Monday, March 18, Wieland will talk about challenges and life with students at Dublin Jerome High School, with an evening session open to the community.

“We are so honored to have Bob Wieland visit Jerome,” said Cathy Sankey, Jerome principal.

“Bob’s accomplishments in life, especially after becoming a double amputee in the service of our country, are truly amazing,” she said.

“More importantly, his attitude and philosophy about what real adversity in life is and his perspective on defining and facing challenges are truly inspirational. “Bob’s visit will change all of our lives for the better, and we look forward to have him in the

Jerome family.”

The March 18 visit won’t be Wieland’s first visit to Jerome.

About six months ago he addressed student athletes who went on to win the state golf championship title for the second year for both the girls and boys teams.

“The essence of my message is no matter your situation, it’s never good to quit,” Wieland told the Dublin Villager last week from his home in California.

And Wieland has faced some challenges that would have caused others to quit.

He spent more than three years walking across the country on his hands.

“I believe it before I can see it,” he said of his inspiration.

Preparation is also credited for Wieland’s accomplishments.

“I do an awful lot of preparation.,” he said.

“You don’t become the best in the world by twiddling your thumbs,” he said. “I’m still training today.”

Training to do another cycling trip across the country nets Wieland about

165 miles per day.

And pedaling is tough, he said, because it’s done with his arms instead of his legs.

“It’s not a big secret,” he said of preparation. “You do the same thing over and over and over and over again.”

Wieland’s Dublin speaking engagement, sponsored by the Jerome High School PTO and local corporations, will include the story of his life from planning to go into professional baseball before Vietnam to completion.

“This is a real life story about a real life guy,” Wieland said.

“I don’t have to make anything up,” he said. “I’m not saying anything special. God has blessed me big time.”

Wieland will have a full day in Dublin as he addresses students at 9:30 a.m., has lunch with the student council and visits classrooms in the afternoon.

An evening program, free and open to the community at Jerome High School, 8300 Hyland Croy Road, is slated for 7:30 p.m. jnoblit@thisweeknews.com

By JENNIFER NOBLIT THISWEEKNEWS.COM Dublin Coffman High School’s symphonic band will play with the best March 19.

A free concert, slated for 7 p.m. March 19 at Coffman High School, 6780 Coffman Road, will feature the school’s symphonic band and the Ohio State University Wind Symphony.

“OSU is known as one of the best concert bands in our region,” said Jeremy Bradstreet, Coffman band director.

The band is usually competing in concert band contests now, but takes a break every third year, Bradstreet said.

“Every three years we don’t do (contests) and do something fun like this,” he said.

The show will include songs such as Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral by Richard Wagner and Ammerland by Jacob de Haan from the Coffman Symphonic Band and Slava!

by Leonard Bernstein and An American in Paris by George Gershwin from the OSU Wind Symphony.

The show is free and open to the public, but it will also act as a learning experience for the student musicians, Bradstreet said.

“The goal in any musical activity is for them to hear the best whether working in the jazz band or concert band,” he said. “It’s another thing to be in the room and watch them play… It provides them the opportunity to learn how to play concert music better.”

The band will also bring a few Dublin graduates to the performance.

Three Coffman High School graduates and one each from Jerome and Scioto high school are in the OSU Wind Symphony.

“Dublin is the most represented city as far as kids in the band,” Bradstreet said.

Schools hope lessstrict USDA guidelines will mean more diners

Some Chapman Elementary School students are experiencing art for the first time, thanks to teacher Patrick Callicotte.

The goal of the Chapman art teacher is to have all students create art and Callicotte has created a few machines to let students with special needs participate.

“Before coming here I worked with many students with special needs, but I never worked with a student who couldn’t grip,” he said. “I’ve always wanted students to make art independently.”

After finding some students couldn’t participate in art class, the first-year Dublin City Schools teacher looked online for tools, but found none. So he turned to children’s toys.

“I went to Family Dollar and bought a child’s blender,” he said. “It’s battery operated and spins. I took it home and took it apart.”

Callicotte put the toy back together so it would hold a paint brush and spin at the push of a button.

“Abigail is a first-grader. She’s great with switches, but has never done art before,” he said. “Now Abigail is painting with the other students.”

A fourth-grader who doesn’t hold objects very often or for very long started participating in class when Callicotte put a canvas on his pottery wheel. He spins the wheel while the student paints it.

Another grip and pour tool regularly used for special needs students was modified to pour paint on a canvas, Callicotte said.

By modifying a child’s toy saw, Callicotte created another spinning art tool that can hold sponges or paint brushes

The art is shared with the school with displays and photos and one student’s creation is on display at the new Dublin Tech Center.

“My big focus in teaching is how to make learning and art public,” Callicotte said. “I’ve been posting photographs of the students making the art with the art.”

With three creations done, Callicotte is still learning, but plans to make more in the future.

“It’s been a matter of figuring out what will work for each student,” he said. “It’s about what I can do to let this child make an artwork.”

In the future, Callicotte could spread his tools to other buildings.

“Down the road I could make tools available for others outside my classroom. I assumed there would be something out there already for these kids,” he said. “I can see being the one who gets some of this stuff out there.”

“One of the things I like to teach about art is creative problem solving,” he said.

Yet another student makes art after paint is poured on a canvas and put in a plastic bag.

The new tools allow students to make art, but also be part of the class.

“The positive results of the situation are more interaction with the other kids,” Callicotte said.

School news Coffman students help to create library in Swaziland

PROUD awards science fair honors

The work of several Dublin Coffman High School students has led to a new library in Africa.

Students in Dublin Coffman’s International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme’s Creativity Action and Service project, as well as the Student Government Association, National Honor Society, Freshman Houses, Mr. Gantz’s American Studies classes and Ms. Miltner’s IB English classes collected more than 1,000 books to ship to Africa to establish a library in Swaziland.

Students also collected $500 to ship the books to Africa.

The effort was done through the African Library Project, which Coffman has participated in for the past four years.

Dublin Coffman High School has been named a Global Literacy Champion by the African Library Project for the past three years.

Several Dublin students recently took home honors for science fair projects. The science fair, sponsored by Dublin Parent’s Resource for Outstanding Students, also known as PROUD, handed out awards for the top projects March 2 at Jerome High School.

The top finishers will proceed to the regional science fair at Columbus State Community College.

Top finishers for the sixth grade are Joon Sung Oh, Karrer Middle School, with first place; Sean McCormack, Grizzell Middle School, second place; and Karrer student Shivam Gangal with third.

Seventh-grade honors went to Christiana Sweeney, Grizzell, first place; Pratheek Gandhodi, Sells, second place; and Sells students Allyssa Shoaf and Noah Paoletti both took third place.

Eighth-graders receiving awards were

vided in the lunchroom.

“The Healthy Hunger Free Act put out through the USDA in 2010 graduated to the point where at the beginning of this school year the act limited the amount of bread and proteins we could offer on a daily basis,” said Brian Hunt, district food services director.

“We’ve always had a minimum, but never a maximum.

What happened was it restricted us on the portion size in bread and proteins.”

A restriction on grains and proteins meant the schools could no longer offer student favorites such as burgers and chicken sandwiches in the lunchroom every day.

Backlash on the new rules was felt across the country, Hunt said.

“The reaction was pretty much nationwide to the limitations by the students,” he said.

“We were no different than what appears to be schools across the U.S. in terms of reaction.”

Lunchroom sales decreased, Hunt said, and the USDA listened to students and loosened rules.

“The USDA heard that message from students and directors and lobbying groups,” he said.

“They changed that ruling to go back to what it was prior to the school year. We have minimums, but no maximums.”

The loosened guidelines are in place for the rest of the school year and the 2013-14 school year, but beyond that Hunt doesn’t know what will happen.

“We never really know what it will look like from year to year,” he said. “They can change (guidelines) at any point.”

Guidelines that require school meals to include at least

a half cup of fruit or vegetables will remain in place, although that rule didn’t change much in Dublin schools, Hunt said.

“We’ve always had fresh fruits and vegetables,” he said.

“We have no intention to change that.

“Had we not been progressive, (the USDA guidelines) may have made things different for students, but we’ve always been on the healthy side of things.”

Students should notice the changes in the lunchroom that will mean a return of favorites and larger servings of grains such as bread, rolls, pasta and rice, very soon, Hunt said.

“Our message to students is come back and give us a look and see the offerings that were their favorites,” he said.

“We’re changing things as quickly as we can.”

Crocheting machine

Volunteer’s skills keep newborns’ heads warm

By JENNIFER NOBLIT THISWEEKNEWS.COM In the past year every newborn has left Dublin Methodist Hospital with a piece of work from Maryellan Krenek.

The seven-year Dublin Retirement Village resident has crocheted more than 1,000 hats for newborns at the hospital in the last year, a feat that earned her an “honorary volunteer� award from the hospital. “I’ve been crocheting since I was 8,� the 84-year-old said, adding her aunt taught her a few things then she learned the rest with a book.

The former Columbus resident and owner of the Goodie Shop in Upper Arlington is used to keeping busy and crocheting hats helps. “If she’s not helping somewhere, she’s here crocheting hats for me,� said Dublin Methodist Hospital volunteer Phyllis Calle.

Calle puts the crocheted hats into packages for new mothers and came to the Dublin Retirement Village last year in search of someone to make hats. “I thought there would be people over here sitting around needing something to do,�

Calle said.

And Krenek is happy for

the task. It takes her 30-45 minutes to crochet one baby hat that fits all sizes. “It’s fun and you feel like you’re doing something,�

Krenek said.

Finding Krenek was a stroke of luck. “It’s hard to find those who still know how to do it,� said Dublin Retirement Village Program Director Beth Baker, adding arthritis keeps some from knitting or crocheting. “Maryellan contributes an afghan to our raffle every year,� Baker said.

Krenek also keeps busy in other ways. “I play bingo and euchre and volunteer if they need help,� she said. “She’s very helpful with other residents who can’t do something themselves,� Baker added.

Krenek’s crochet skills extend to names, blankets, clothing and other items. She picked the hobby back up a few years ago. “I came here in 2006. In 2007, my husband died. My dog died in 2008,� she said. “I thought, ‘What am I doing here?’ So I started crocheting.�

Crocheting also helps the lifetime Weight Watchers member maintain her weight.

If her hands are busy crocheting, she can keep her 140pound weight loss.

Crocheting hats has also given Krenek a new friend.

She tells Calle, of Plain City, to stop by as often as she likes and Calle frequently does so to pick up hats or go yarn shopping.

Calle is also planning to teach Krenek to knit and she will learn crocheting in turn. “I’d like them to do a class,�

Baker said.

Coffman grad’s business venture on solid footing

By JENNIFER NOBLIT THISWEEKNEWS.COM Cody Weaver’s senior year at Otterbein University has been anything but normal.

The 2009 Coffman High School graduate has to balance classes, homework, work and friends with a growing business.

Last year Weaver started Beautiful Bottoms, a company that allows women to customize the bottoms of their high heels with colored or patterned vinyl adhesive.

Weaver then brought on 2009 Jerome High School graduate Mike Adolph to help.

The Otterbein seniors, who have been friends since meeting at Tartan Fields pool in fifth grade, work at Nordstrom selling women’s shoes.

It was on the job that Weaver thought of customizing the bottom of high heels.

After selling a pair of $1,300 shoes, Weaver hated putting grey outsoles on the bottoms to deal with the slippery leather soles.

“I went to Jo-Ann’s and bought all kinds of adhesives,” he said.

After several tests, Weaver found success after contacting a company that makes signs for box trucks.

The adhesive vinyl used for Beautiful Bottoms can stand up to water, heat and cold and wears little, he

“Sometimes when I talk to my mom, I tell her I want one week like a normal guy, but at the end of the day, even though I’m stressed I’m getting ahead.”

–CODY WEAVER entrepreneur

Adolph, who came on to help with social media and marketing.

Within one week, Adolph got 4,000 followers on Instagram.

“I got involved and started talking to Cody,” he said.

“I really started believing in it more and more.”

The duo spent some time at a Las Vegas convention last month trying to expand national sales.

“We work so well together,” Weaver said.

“We realize our differences,” Adolph agreed.

The business majors think they have a future with Beautiful Bottoms.

“We both feel Beautiful Bottoms could be a career,” Weaver said, adding his ultimate goal is to have his own footwear label.

Even though Weaver and Adolph have a job to go to after graduation, starting a company in college has been stressful and has taught them about priorities.

“Sometimes when I talk to my mom, I tell her I want one week like a normal guy,” Weaver said, “but at the end of the day, even though I’m stressed I’m getting ahead.

“That’s what I want in life: to be successful and work hard, be an outlier,” he said.

said.

“It took six months to get it to where it is now,” Weaver said.

Beautiful Bottoms come in four pieces – two heels and two soles – in pink, yellow, purple, leopard print and other offerings.

After applying the one-size fits all adhesive vinyl, it is trimmed to fit the exact size of the shoe.

Weaver’s brainchild is sold online at beautiful-bottoms.com and in Steve Madden stores around the country, an opportunity that came about from an internship.

“When it got to the point that they were sellable, I sent them to my boss, who was head of sales,” Weaver said.

“I asked her to be honest.”

Dublin operates two outdoor pools from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Dublin Community Pool North is located at 5660 Dublinshire Drive, and Dublin Community Pool South’s address is 6363 Woerner Temple Road.

Current fees for a family of four are $200.

Individual passes, along with those for seniors and households of varying sizes, also are available.

Her cleverness is just one reason we’ll forgive her for discovering and bringing along on tour New York bubblegum girl group Supercute, whose members might fit the description but whose tunes are more distracting performance art than pop.

The other reason is that Nash is affiliated with the “Because I am a Girl,” campaign, which addresses the special needs and

Violin lessons spark career for Stirling When Lindsey Stirling’s parents arranged for their 6-yearold daughter to take violin lessons, they, and Lindsey’s teacher, just hoped she wouldn’t get bored.

Suffice to say, that didn’t happen.

Which is not to say that the still-spritely Stirling, now in her mid-20s and a budding international star, hasn’t wandered her way stylistically through the world of music – learning her trade on the classics, joining a rock band (Stomp on Melvin) in her teens, playing along to her favorite songs on the radio and ultimately gravitating toward dance music. Introduced by artists such as Skrillex to dubstep, Stirling primarily collaborates with producers and DJs on her original songs, while continuing to make uniquely arranged cover tunes from a broad range of styles on her insanely poplar YouTube channel.

The violin has remained constant for Stirling throughout her musical wanderlust.

“There is technique, detail and a sound. I mean, I trained classically. I love the sound of the violin. I make dance music,

Lindsey Stirling plays the Newport Music Hall Friday, March 15.

The Vibrant Sounds opens. Tickets are $20. Visit promowestlive.com.

but my violin is not a ‘created’ sound. It sounds real.”

Stirling took inspiration from Vanessa Mae, a violinist who in the ’90s scored crossover success with rock ‘n’roll-style violin playing, but also from pop acts such as Passion Pit and Black Eyed Peas. Her varied inspirations were reflected in the cover tunes she was recording for her YouTube page, from Phantom of the Opera and The Lord of the Rings to music from the Legend of Zelda series to pop hits such as We Found Love.

“When I decided to take (making music) more seriously and start writing original songs, I knew I had to do things with

a dance vibe.”

The original songs didn’t harm her status as a YouTube sensation in the least. Crystallize boasts more than 50 million views; Skyrim, Shadows and Elements each top 15 million.

Yet Stirling knew something was missing from her resume.

“I had done an EP and released a bunch of singles, but I hadn’t done an album. It’s a completely different thing, making something intended as a complete package.”

So the release of her self-titled full-length last fall was a “check mark on the bucket list, I guess,” she said with a laugh.

March 14, 2013

“I worked on it for two years, which is way too long. But I’m very proud of all the songs.”

The original songs start with a backtrack arranged by Stirling with the help of her producer. Then the process of finding melodies begins.

“I improvise over those tracks for hours and hours. I play a bunch of really bad stuff until I find something really good.”

Having a formal album has focused Stirling’s touring as well, as she is playing more shows and, specifically, more headlining shows.

“It’s amazing and fun. I get to meet all these fans all over the country – everybody from young girls who come in their sparkly skirts like I like to wear, to older couples who have always loved the violin, to metal kids and electronica kids and young people who are just starting to take violin lessons.”

“I’m just happy to be able to encourage people.”

‘American Idiot’ gives post-9/11 nod to Broadway American Idiot: Not your father’s musical, even if your father’s musical was Tommy.

The show, based on Green Day’s 2004 Grammy Awardwinning album of the same name, is a rock musical for sure.

And the creative team that brought the show to Broadway (where it was Tony Award-nominated for Best Musical) includes some of the Great White Way’s leading lights, including director Michael Mayer, arranger Tom Kitt, choreographer Steven Hoggett and producer Tom Hulce. Yet, American Idiot’s success was in part because those people embraced the original’s next-gen, post-9/11 sensibility, applying traditional Broadway ethics without changing the heart of Billie Joe Armstrong’s lyrics or Green Day’s pop-punk appeal.

The result, said Thomas Hettrick, who plays Tunny in the touring production of American Idiot, is something longtime Broadway fans want to see but that brings new fans to the theater.

“I get a lot of folks tell me this was their first time seeing a musical. I tell them ‘That’s great. Keep going, but they’re not all going to be like this,’” he said.

The show required a different approach to the traditional musical theater song and dance, Hettrick said.

“It has a physicality that I’ve never seen done,” he said.

“But it has to be that way to emote and carry the story (which includes almost no dialogue). I mean, we’ve got some great dances, but they’re less about technique and more about what you bring of yourself to the moves.”

The singing, while arranged by Kitt to be sung by a full cast, still requires a different attitude from other shows, even shows such as Tommy, Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar or Rent, each of which, in its own way, deviated from the standard presentation of its time.

“What’s awesome is you’re going to hear a lot of very unique voices in this show,” Hettrick said.

American Idiot chronicles three friends and their disillusionment with what they perceive as a humdrum existence in their suburban hometown. As they prepare to head off for adventure in the city, one (Will) learns of his girlfriend’s pregnancy and opts to stay behind.

Johnny and Tunny head for the big city, where Johnny loses himself in the drug scene while Tunny, still unmoved by this new adventure, enlists in the Army.

By the end, the friends have made mistakes, learned some lessons and renewed their friendship.

“The songs and the movement are very specific to each character’s story, to where you don’t have to overwork the part despite there not being any dialogue,” Hettrick said.

Hettrick added the cast is able to capture all the angst, confusion and anger of the post-9/11 world “because we’re really all from that generation.”

That said, there is a classic musical theater story feel to American Idiot as well, in which each of the characters experiences significant personal change and a wide range of emotions but emerges, if not totally happy, at least a little wiser.

“The ending’s not so much a period but a question mark,” Hettrick said.

The touring production of Green Day’s “American Idiot” comes to the Palace Theatre for eight shows March 19-24.
