By the time Scott Heimlich found out about the road project on East Whittier Street, it was too late. The work had already started. The owner of Barcelona restaurant, smack dab in middle of the construction, said the response from the city of Columbus was vague and the city didn’t inform anyone in advance of changing traffic patterns. “We’re dealing with it,” he said. “Because of the lack of information, we didn’t know what we were getting into.” The project involves the replacement of water lines and fire hydrants in the area. As part of the work, the city has made Whittier one way eastbound between Mohawk and Ebner streets to accommodate construction. The city determined that two-way traffic could not be safely maintained on Whittier because of the narrow street, said Laura Young Mohr, spokeswoman for the Columbus Department of Public Utilities. The $840,000 project, which includes other repairs in the area and has taken away some on-street parking, began July 18 and is scheduled to conclude at the end of August. Repaving work will follow. The city is using two types of drilling methods — a traditional open-cut system and horizontal directional drilling, the latter being trenchless technology meant to minimize the disruption to brick streets. For any brick removed that cannot be salvaged, it will be replaced with other historic bricks. Open-cut construction will be used for project locations with asphalt pavement. See ROADWORK, page A2

Headliner in Maennerchor Frank Fetch Park finale inspired Bee Brunch draws attention to new hive by folk music By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Nina Bagley is abuzz over her latest project: a beehive in Frank Fetch Park. The local apiarist is responsible for the maintenance of the hive, installed in May in the German Village park. The hive, actually a box, contains 150,000 bees, which pollinate local flowers and plants and bring nectar back for the honey. “I always say they’re keeping the ecosystem in balance,” Bagley said, noting that the hive is frequently inspected by a county official who reports to the Ohio Department of Agriculture. To sweeten the pot, Bagley will give the German Village Garten Club honey from the hive to make sweets for the first Bee See BEE BRUNCH, page A2

The singer-songwriter says he draws from a wide range of influences, including Stephen Foster, Woody Guthrie and Tom Petty. “I kind of embody that whole Americana movement,” he said. “That would be me because I kind of include everything in Michael Fracasso what I do.” The musician, who is based in Austin, Texas, will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 30, at the Columbus Maennerchor, 996 S.

Officials: New greenhouse will save conservatory time, money By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Franklin Park Conservatory’s support greenhouse, the crowning piece of a three-project capital campaign, opened over the weekend. Officials say the 9,300-square-foot facility will provide much-needed efficiency for the conservatory, which formerly had to move plants off-site

throughout the year, costing staff time and money for rental space. The greenhouse will become the botanical warehouse and growing facility for plants used in several conservatory exhibitions and displays, such as bonsai plants, orchids, poinsettias for the Christmas season and plants that provide fruit nectar for the Blooms & Butterflies exhibit held from March through September.

You have a hole in your house.

Located between the picnic shelter and the community gardens, the $1.3million greenhouse has several “green” features: permeable pavers, a retractable roof that allows for natural ventilation and rain barrels that will catch runoff precipitation. A blackout room will use insulating curtains to artificially shorten the day to simulate the light and dark schedules of specific varieties of plants. Moveable plant tables will be more

flexible, freeing up more space. The building, however, is not open to the general public. Bruce Harkey, executive director of the conservatory, sees a lot of potential with the addition of the greenhouse. “Having new facilities creates new opportunities at the conservatory,” he said. Conservatory officials also realize the possible need for additional greenhouse space.

“I think it meets our needs right now but in a few years, we’ll need more,” said Garry Clarke, director of planning. The greenhouse opening marks the completion of the $23-million capital program at the conservatory, which included two 5,000-square-foot additions to the John F. Wolfe Palm House and the community-gardening campus. The See GREENHOUSE, page A2

Honeybees gather on a honeycombed frame in the new beehive at Frank Fetch Park in German Village. To view a video about the hive, visit ThisWeekNews.com.

“I think it’s unique because I think it’s a good learning experience for all of us,” she said. “And so for us to explore this and help Mother Nature along is a great thing. And to do it in a safe manner is equally rewarding. Leist said the Garten Club gets the honey as part of the agreement. Bagley said the hive can produce 100 pounds of honey per year in optimal conditions. Club members intend to sell the honey to raise funds to pay for maintenance of the park, said Jerry Glick, who belongs to the club. Known as the “Bee Lady” in German Village, Bagley is a walking, talking encyclopedia of apian habitats and habits. She raises

queen bees in hives at her house and a friend’s property in Gahanna. The Frank Fetch hive is in a secluded place, painted green to avoid detection, and the bees’ flight patterns don’t generally make them cross paths with humans, Bagley said. The hive is helping the greater ecological system and the honeybees, whose populations have declined in the last decade because of colonycollapse disorder, she said. The origins of the are a matter debate. “We need our honeybees,” she said. “It’s helping everybody in the community.” gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

GREENHOUSE Continued from page A1 campaign and the projects were part of the first phase of a master plan to upgrade the conservatory. To celebrate, conservatory officials have planned a community gala. The gala will begin on the Grand Mallway at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 8, a symbolic date for the conservatory because it marks the dedication of the first project — the Palm House additions — on Aug. 8, 2008. Highlights of the celebration include a picnic, in which participants are encouraged to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages, children’s activities and the release of monarch butterflies. The ProMusica Chamber Orchestra will perform at 8:30 p.m. At dusk, James Turrell’s light installation, featuring thousands of LED lights and computer technology, will illu-

Continued from page A1 Brunch, which kicks off the 201112 membership drive for the club. The brunch is slated from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 30, at Frank Fetch Park, on East Beck Street at the corner of Dixon Alley. The event is a slight departure for the club, which typically holds a garden tour to attract new members, said Carol Porter, a board member of the organization. “One of the new trends is exploring what one can do with sweet bee products and our neighborhood specialist, Nina Bagley, is blazing the trail for us,” Porter said. The Frank Fetch beehive is the first city-sanctioned hive in any Columbus park. Although the first hives were installed at Franklin Park, a city-owned park managed by the Franklin Park Conservatory, those hives are maintained by Bagley and the Central Ohio Beekeepers Association. Terri Leist, planning administrator for the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department, said that because of safety issues, she had reservations about the beehive in Frank Fetch Park. “It was not an automatic yes,” she said. But Bagley and experts in the field assured her it was good for the local ecosystem and not dangerous. Now, Leist is upbeat about the arrangement.

The Fracasso performance, presented by Zeppelin Productions, will be the final live show at the Maennerchor, which will close at the end of August. Columbus City Schools intends to expand nearby Stewart Alternative Elementary School, a plan that would require the razing of the Maennerchor property. Fracasso, 58, said the folk movement of the 1960s inspired him to pick up the guitar. A native of Mingo Junction, then a major steelmill town near Steubenville, Fracasso moved to Columbus to attend Ohio State University, from which he graduated with a degree in environmental science. After a couple of years in the environmental field, he decided on a new career path and moved from the state of Washington to New York City. “I realized all I really wanted to do was play music,” he said. Then, in 1990, he moved to Austin, a city with an emerging, vibrant music scene. “It has definitely taken off there,” he said. “It is not like it used to be. The competition for places to play in town has definitely gotten very tough, but it’s still an embracing city. The people love music in Texas. They do a lot to support the musicians there.” The competition makes him work harder, he said. There also is a strong camaraderie among musicians. “It really works to your advantage because there are a lot of great musicians to work with,” he said. gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

ROADWORK Continued from page A1 Mohr said the city could have given more advance notice and could have been clearer about the process. “We admit we could have done more,” she said. “We’re addressing that going forward.” The city did send a letter dated July 22 to residents to announce the repairs. To read the letter, visit ThisWeekNews.com. Mohr also pointed to the Paving the Way website, www.pavingtheway.org, as a resource for residents to check on construction projects throughout central Ohio. Mike Yarbrough, president of the German Village Society’s board of trustees, said he was surprised the organization wasn’t notified ahead of time. “We are happy that there are some infrastructure improvements going on and hope that

Whittier Street resident Mandy Medve said she, too, was unaware of the city’s plans. “I would have liked to have known something was coming and what it was,” she said. “That would have been helpful, just some sort of notice.” Yet, she and her husband, Steve, have been able to manage without too much inconvenience. “I had no idea what the construction was all about,” she said. “It hasn’t impacted us.

24th annual festival to offer up Irish fun Aug. 5-7 By JENNIFER NOBLIT ThisWeek Community Newspapers The 24th annual Dublin Irish Festival at Coffman Park next weekend will feature a full slate of music, cultural activities, sports, food and dancing with a Celtic twist. The festival runs Aug. 5-7 in Coffman Park in Dublin, which is transformed into more than 29 acres of Irish entertainment and activities. The event will include 65 acts on seven different stages with both singers and dancers. “Returning favorites in the entertainment lineup are Gaelic Storm,” events administrator Mary Jo DiSalvo said. “This is their eighth time. They were the group that played in ‘Titanic.’ We’ve also got a returning favorite, the Step Crew. They’re a touring dance act. They have fancy footwork and fantastic fiddling.”

New to the lineup this year is Goitse & the Elders. A new element at the Irish rock stage will let visitors get closer to the bands. “We have a stage-side screen on the side of the Killian’s Irish rock stage. People can see the screen from a greater distance,” DiSalvo said. “We’re doing that this year because it brings the entertainers closer to the audience. People can see up close and personal.” While Irish dancing will be featured on stage, the Columbus Feis will be held across Coffman Road at Coffman High School. A winners parade will be held at 8:30 p.m. Aug. 6 on the Irish Thunder Stage. Festival visitors also can learn a little bit about Irish dance. “Throughout the weekend, if people are interested, they can go to the Ceili dance tent to learn the steps for them-

selves,” DiSalvo said. The festival also will feature children’s activities in the Wee Folks area. “The Wendy’s Wee Folk area is extremely popular year in and year out,” DiSalvo said. Children could do crafts, play on bounce games provided by SuperGames or check out some entertainment, events manager Alison LeRoy said. “We have a variety to hit different age groups,” LeRoy said. “For the youngest age group, we have a little area of free games for toddlers in the east Coffman shelter house. We do wristbands for the Pot o’Gold play land, where SuperGames is. That’s $10 for a wristband. Last year, we let kids pan for different jewels in the river. It was popular last year.” Children also could create hats and crowns or shamrock bracelets and sunglasses in the craft area.

On stage, Pirate MacGregor, who tells tales of Irish pirates, and Candace MazurDarman are popular acts, LeRoy said. “Candace gets kids involved on stage, and they help create the story,” she said. Elsewhere on the grounds are chances to shop, taste some Irish fare and drink. Cultural experiences also are available at Brian Boru’s Ireland, showing what the emerald isle was like 1,000 years ago. Festival-goers could check out tents that teach about an Irish wake, genealogy and tools used to make linen and wool. Irish sports events will be held in the greenfields area and will include the Hyland Heavy Weight games Aug. 6. Aug. 7 will include Sunday morning services, including Irish Mass, traditional Mass, an interdenominational service and Druids service. In lieu of tickets, guests may enter the festival for free until 11 a.m. Sunday,

Aug. 7, if they bring a nonperishable food item for the Dublin Food Pantry. DiSalvo said last year’s collection netted more than 10,000 pounds of food for the local food pantry. Aug. 7 also will include the annual Irish contests of reddest hair, most freckles and greenest eyes at 3 p.m. For the first time, a “best legs in a kilt” contest will be held at 6 p.m. Redheads also will be aplenty Aug. 7 as a redhead social-networking group takes a group picture at the festival. Tickets to the Dublin Irish Festival are $10 at the gate for adults. Admission for children ages 12 and younger is free. Discounted tickets are available online until Aug. 4 at dublinirishfestival.org. The Dublin Irish Festival will run from 4 p.m. to midnight Aug. 5, 11 a.m. to midnight Aug. 6 and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Aug. 7.

Society celebrates historic preservation in many ways The German Village Society is, without question, committed to historic preservation. The society was established in order to preserve the “old world charm” of the old German section of the South End. The society’s founder, Frank Fetch, served on the German Village Commission for more than a few three-year terms. And one of the society’s standing committees is the historic preservation committee. The German Village Society is not an historical society, or a genealogical group, or a German social club. It is a civic association with members that are “dedicated to retaining the character and distinction of the past while creating a thriving and contemporary community” in German Village. (But certainly among our interests are individual histories and just about anything social.) We are a Preserve America neighborhood and have worked over the last year to strengthen our relationship with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the American Planning Association. We have solid relationships with the German Village Commission, the Columbus Historic Preservation office, the Ohio Historic Preservation Office and countless other cultural organizations throughout the Midwest and beyond. We work extremely hard to honor the past while living in the present. We appreciate all those who have gone before us and the good work they’ve done, and we try to plan for the future and consider the wants and needs of both current and future villagers. If I could use only one word to celebrate what the German Village Society does, it would be celebrate. We celebrate our members, neighbors and friends. We celebrate successes, good efforts, team players and individuals. We celebrate the earliest immigrants, our smallest neighbors at St. Mary and Stewart schools, the oldest houses, the newest trends and our inspiring houses and gardens. We celebrate our reddish-orangeish-brownish bricks, our gray slate, our windows with wavy glass, our limestone stoops with

visible fossils, our alleys, our views of the skyline, our blue-collar history and our postage-stampsized backJODY yards. GRAICHEN We celebrate the fact that we are committee- and volunteer-driven. We celebrate our visitors each day while we keep track of how many feet cross the threshold of the Meeting Haus. We celebrate good preservation work with the “Caretakers of a Legacy” awards and we celebrate the cold winter months with chili suppers, “Casseroles and Carols” and a spectacular tree lighting. We have celebrated the society’s anniversary every January, German-American Day every October, a birthday for the Meeting Haus each August and the birthdays of our visitors center volunteers. We have celebrated births and honored deaths with celebrations of life. We celebrate the ties that bind with our “family portrait” under the Schiller statue. We celebrate the outdoors in our parks, large and small, celebrate local talent with Third Sunday concerts and Actors’Theatre of Columbus and celebrate in-

dependent and local business owners with the German Village Business Community. In one month, the society will manage to celebrate the old in yet another new way. A garden party is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 27, and the event proceeds will benefit a new designated fund for historic preservation at the German Village Society. The event will be held at the German Village Guest House at 748 Jaeger St. Tea, wine, hors d’oeuvres and pastries will be served, and the afternoon will include live musical entertainment, a silent auction, a best-hat contest and photos with surprise celebrity guests. Festive garden party attire is requested. Tickets are $50 for society members and $60 for others. They will be available germanvillage.com or the German Village Society Meeting Haus. How can we not celebrate while we have so much to be proud of, so much to recognize, such big dreams we hope to see realized? Join us in honoring historic preservation and advocating for our present and future. Join us in the celebration!

RELAX.

Jody Graichen is director of historic preservation programs for the German Village Society.

A YEAR ON ENERGY

That older refrigerator or freezer in your basement or garage is burning up as much as $150 in energy every year. Fortunately, you can recycle it without using any energy at all. We’ll pick it up free, you’ll pick up $50, and you’ll reduce your energy use. And the only finger you have to lift is your dialing finger. Throw in an old room A/C and we’ll give you $25 off the purchase of a new ENERGY STAR® unit.
