THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ROUTINE MAMMOGRAM

But for Ohio State, mammograms would just be considered routine. However, there is nothing routine about preventing and detecting breast cancer. It demands the expertise of radiologists who read and interpret only mammograms‌all day, every day.

At The James, our breast imaging specialists are focused on detecting breast cancer earlier...when the opportunity for a cure is highest. Their trained eyes mean the difference between early, accurate detection and a breast cancer that goes undiagnosed. Don’t just get a routine mammogram...get a James mammogram.

Capital-Style.com May/June 2012

ndrea Cambern is admittedly scared.

For 20 years, she’s been Columbus’ sweetheart—the 10TV anchor people stop at grocery stores and Gallery Hop, the event emcee whose hand they wait in line to shake, the party guest they want to sling their arm around for a photo.

And she loves it.

Now, she’s signing off, leaving the city she has grown to cherish for the palm trees of Santa Barbara. To get her excited about their new neighborhood, her husband took her to its version of Gallery Hop—one of Andrea’s favorite Columbus pastimes, where she is stopped every few steps to chat. But out there, she was everybody and nobody—invisible, she felt, for the first time in two decades.

“While some people would relish that,” she said, “it was breaking my heart.”

Her honesty, which you’ll find in our conversation in this issue (“Thanks for Joining Us”), is refreshing.

But while she may fear anonymity, a twinge of excitement percolates beneath the surface.

She’s reverting back to the name she grew up with—Andi. She gets to change her hair— without anyone weighing in on what it looks like. And she might pierce her nose—though she’s definitely donating her camera-ready suits.

As for what’s next, she’s not sure (though I’m putting my money on décor; this woman’s houses are ah-mazing).

It’s always exciting, isn’t it—the possibility of change? And you don’t need to be retiring from a career or moving to the coast to refresh. This issue is packed with ways to do it, big and small, with inspiration from people who have.

You’ll meet Barbara Trueman (“Finding Her Horsepower”), who was forced to reboot when her husband died too soon. She has channeled her energies into giving back, establishing herself as one of the city’s finest philanthropists.

You’ll see a German Village home that was purchased as a shell of its former self and

transformed into a beauty featured on this year’s house and garden tour (“Perfecting the Past”).

You’ll also find ways to refresh your look, be it with a pop of color in your wardrobe (don’t miss the Rachel Zoe skirt in our “Light Bright” fashion spread—fab!) or plastic surgery (we answer all the questions you’re afraid to ask in “Timid to Tuck?”).

On a personal note, one of the biggest refreshes in my life came a decade ago when I started practicing yoga. Power yoga became a passion, helping tone muscles, manage stress and pump happy endorphins. If you’ve considered giving the ancient practice a shot, “Find Your Flow” (skillfully written by Beth Stallings, after visiting and trying several yoga classes around the city) is a good place to start.

Lastly, be sure to catch “Runway Ready,” which features a half dozen of the Columbus College of Art & Design’s most promising fashion designers. Amanda Smith, who is showcased among them, created the dress I’m wearing in this photo for the school’s annual senior fashion show May 11. She was an absolute joy to get to know—smart and sweet, with talent to spare. (And this is how detail-oriented she is: when I picked up my finished frock, she had made a professionalcaliber hang tag for it, complete with a turquoise stone because we had talked about our mutual admiration for the color.)

The CCAD show is one of my favorite events in the city, not just because it’s a blast, but also because it’s teeming with exuberance—a celebration of who people are, and of who they’re about to become.

Life gives us many opportunities to embrace that edge.

Andrea, we wish you luck as you embrace yours.

Makeup artist Melody Mathews is anticipating bronze, gold and orange tones as makeup’s top seasonal trends. “Try bronze on the eye,” she suggested. “It gives them a softer smoky look.”

Hair stylist Gary Motto couldn’t decide which look he liked better: the nude pleated dress or the green denim outfit.

ur fashion spread inspiration? The season’s hottest trend—color. To showcase the looks we love, we bought a slew of bright paper rolls, added some hot pink nail polish and pumped a little Katy Perry. The result: a fun, vibrant shoot— and a result we hope delights. ­—Heather Weekley

It’s easy to transition a wardrobe as spring turns into summer, said Elizabeth Bean Smith, owner of Wardrobe Therapy. “Use shoes and fresh accessories to make something different,” she recommended.

“Or take a basic black pant and pair it with a bold color.”

Commit to the Cure When Komen Columbus held its first Race for the Cure in 1993, 875 runners laced up their sneakers to run 5K for breast cancer awareness. Now, the annual event has become the largest road race in Ohio, drawing more than 50,000 participants in 2011. On May 19, the race will celebrate its 20th run. In that time, the race has raised nearly $21 million for breast cancer research—75 percent of which stays local for mammograms, screenings and education. “Research is going to hopefully find a cure one day,” said Katie Carter, Komen Columbus executive director. “But in the meantime, women are dying every day and women need to be screened. Early detection saves lives. To see 50,000 people come together for this one cause is great.”

The 20th annual Race for the Cure, including a 5K run and 1-mile family fun walk, begins at 8 a.m. Registration is $30 for adults, and $15 for children 14 and younger.

arbara Trueman took one of her beloved horses to a doctor visit at the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, and was shocked at what she saw. The medical personnel, she realized, were relegated to lifting the animal—which weighed perhaps 1,000 pounds—without a hoist.

“There were a lot of things missing,” she said. “There was a lot more that could be done there.”

She decided she’d be the person to do it.

The private philanthropist won’t say how much time or money she has given to Columbus to educate children. To support the arts.

To heal the sick. And to help her signature cause—her alma mater’s veterinary college.

But the time? It’s been hours, weeks, months, years.

She gives it quietly, others say—humbly.

Because Barbara is not about flash or pretense. Her story is one about love—love of animals, love of family and love of that ornery fraternity boy she simply had to meet.

H

e was dating her sorority sister at Ohio State, but boy, was he handsome.

“Tell me about this Jim Trueman,” Barbara Colucci said to Trueman’s friend.

“He’s trouble,” the friend replied. “You don’t want to know about him.”

“Yes,” Barbara said. “I do.”

Their dates, she now admits with a chuckle, weren’t great.

But she couldn’t stop thinking about him afterward.

By the time she was 21, they were married. Two years later, baby Michelle arrived.

While Barbara raised their eventual crew of three children in Upper Arlington, Jim invested in real estate and ran his German Village bar and restaurant, Diebel’s (now the chic eatery Barcelona).

On weekends, he indulged his sense of adventure by racing amateur cars. The couple drove all over the Midwest—sometimes with the kids, sometimes alone. Unable to afford fancy resorts or nice hotels, they often pitched a tent and camped. “There’s got to be a better way,” Jim would say, “a better place for people to travel.” They talked often about what would make families happy, about what would work for folks like them.

Jim founded Red Roof Inn in 1972, and opened his first motel in Grove City the next year. He asked for his wife’s thoughts on color combinations and looks people like.

“Win at all costs was not my mother’s approach. The animals came first.”

He advertised the business on his race car: “Sleep cheap.”

And he grew his idea until it became the country’s largest privately owned budget motel chain, with more than 150 in 30 states.

“That was his baby,” Barbara said. “And I had my babies at home.”

J

im’s financial success gave him the pleasure of fulfilling one of his wife’s lifelong fantasies: he bought her a horse.

Tex came from Virginia, and Barbara, along with Michelle—then in junior high—learned how to jump him. They stabled him at first and eventually built a home on 26 acres in Dublin, where Tex got his own barn and they had the pleasure of riding him at their leisure.

“He was well taken care of,” Barbara said. “And well loved.”

As their daughters showed competitive riding potential, the Truemans bought two more horses. But Barbara was not “your typical horse show mother,” said Michelle Gajoch, the oldest of the Trueman kids. “Win at all costs was not my mother’s approach. The animals came first.”

Meanwhile, Jim fostered his own hobby, purchasing the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and founding the Truesports racing team. It would star a young man Jim had met on the amateur circuit—Bobby Rahal.

“The two of them had a dream,” Barbara said. “Jim wanted an Indy car team.

Bobby wanted to race a fast car.”

Jim took a gamble on a kid he clearly thought had something, and Barbara relished her family’s happiness.

“We had horsepower of one

“They were very, very close, and very dedicated to each other. My father was a person who lived life to the fullest every single day, and I think my mother certainly relished in that.”

Michelle Gajoch, on her parents kind,” Barbara said. “And the real thing on the other side.”

J

im was vibrant and fit at 50, exercising daily and pouring himself into his work. When he began coming home, plunking down and occasionally falling asleep before dinner, Barbara simply assumed he was exhausted.

But one day, he blindsided her with an announcement: he was having surgery.

The exploratory results were grim. Jim had colon

cancer. It had spread. Chemotherapy, doctors explained, would do no good.

“It was a huge shock,” Barbara said. “As you might imagine.”

Determined to beat his disease, Jim requested chemo anyway, but it didn’t help.

For more than a year, he battled. His liver failed. His kidneys failed. He never hinted he was nearing the end.

When Jim took his racing team to the Indianapolis 500 in 1986, Barbara headed to

Cincinnati with Megan, their youngest daughter, for a horse competition.

As the show ended, Megan’s trainer called Barbara over to a small TV set, where cars zoomed across the screen.

“Come here—quick!” he said. “They’re winning!”

Bobby Rahal won racing’s most prestigious contest on its most storied stage. He stood on the track, sipped the traditional victory milk and then handed it to Jim to share.

Tears well in Barbara’s eyes

“It still makes me cry,” she said. “He was a man who came from nothing and created a wonderful life.”

Five days later, Columbus celebrated with a parade.

Six days after that, Jim died.

A

t 72, Barbara enjoys globetrotting, from taking garden tours in France and Ireland to safaris in Africa. “But I must admit,” she said, sitting in her rustic, warm home among photos of her five grandchildren, “I always love coming back here.”

Outside, she cares for seven horses in her barn and estimates she’s had about 20 over the years. (Tex, her first, lived to be an astonishing 35.) And she delights in Robby and Teddy, her energetic Norfolk Terriers.

Though Jim left her Red Roof Inns, she couldn’t see herself running it—or hovering over whoever did. So she worked with his most trusted advisers, positioned the company to sell and—difficult as she says it was—let it go.

She ran the Truesports team for a while, but eventually dissolved it. She kept the race track until last year, when Michelle—who long ran it— decided to bow out to focus

on her own family.

Instead of immersing herself in business, then, Barbara has immersed herself in the business of giving back.

“She’s just very passionate about the things she’s chosen to get involved with,” Michelle said. “Her world … changed dramatically (when my father died). I think one of the great things about it is she did get herself involved in many, many causes.”

Barbara has advocated for public education, financed community theater and served

her alma mater in myriad ways. She has devoted time to many boards, including those at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ohio State University Foundation, KIPP Journey Academy and KidsOhio.org.

But the cause about which she is most passionate is clear: the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. She visits about once a month to take one horse or another for care. But she also tags along on tours for potential donors, staff say, asking smart questions that

may prompt emotion-tugging (and wallet-opening) answers.

She has recruited many a friend (and stranger) to visit.

“If you didn’t know any better, you’d probably think she worked with us,” joked Karen Longbrake, senior director of development for the veterinary college, who has known Barbara for 17 years.

The topic almost visibly perks Barbara, and she discusses it with the gusto of a campaigner—the research on dog cancer they’re doing, their

need for building upgrades, the selflessness with which they work.

“There’s a lot of work that goes on that can and will benefit humans eventually,” she said. “I guess maybe,” she added, laughing, “I’m a veterinary wannabe in many ways.”

Perhaps her greatest gift was creating the veterinary college’s first endowed chair in 2000, which essentially allowed the school to recruit the best and brightest. But more than that, school lead-

ers say, it caught people’s attention, sparking others to give, too.

“She just started something big,” Longbrake said. “She has really grown into a true philanthropist—not just by how she gives, but by how she inspires others.”

Still, ask Barbara about what she is most proud of in life, and she’ll tell you her children. “I think they’ve grown up to be good people,” she said. “And I think that’s all you can ask.”

And as for the man who helped make them? He remains her love.

She’s dated a bit, she said, but will never remarry.

“I guess when you find your hero, it’s hard to replace him,” she said. “And I have a lot of good memories.”

pet care pioneers Ohio State’s vet college is spearheading advancements that can help save animals—and help humans, too Stories by: Melissa Kossler dutton Photos by: will shilling

P

eople often worry that the Ohio State University campus is too big. But for the dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine, the size is part of its appeal.

Dr. Lonnie King appreciates that his faculty and students are sharing a campus with doctors from numerous medical fields, world-renowned researchers and public health experts. “(The campus) has great assets,” he said. “There are interactions that wouldn’t happen anywhere else.”

He believes the breadth of the expertise at OSU will help him lead the college to the forefront of the One Health Initiative, a worldwide movement that addresses the connections among the health of humans, animals and the environment and calls for interdisciplinary collaborations.

King, who took the helm of the veterinary college in 2009, has developed numerous strategies for advancing the institution. The college is currently in the initial phase of a $92 million fundraising campaign. Money raised will develop faculty, fund student

scholarships and help renovate the Veterinary Medical Center. Barbara Trueman is serving as one of the campaign co-chairs.

“We’re just really looking to make some huge advances in veterinary medicine in the next couple of years,” said The state-of-the-art interventional medicine suite at Ohio State’s Veterinary Medical Center

Danielle Ford, director of development for the college. “We wouldn’t be where we are today if it weren’t for clients, alumni and friends of the college. They’ve laid great groundwork for us.”

The changes will improve students’ learning experience, create opportunities to develop cutting-edge procedures and increase the level of care that the center can offer to patients, King said.

The current medical center, which is open to the public for veterinary care and tends to about 35,000 patient visits a year, needs to expand. The building was designed for a caseload a quarter of that size, King said. “Renovating that facility in a major way is our top priority.”

Previous renovations already have increased the facility’s scope of treatments.

The completion of an interventional medicine suite last

year, for example, has created opportunities for doctors like Brian Scansen, director of the Cardiac Catheterization & Interventional Medicine Laboratory, to address heart disease, respiratory issues and liver and kidney problems in animals. New equipment allows them to treat patients with less-invasive procedures.

“There’s a large trend toward minimally invasive treatment options,” Scansen said. “Patients have shorter recovery and less pain.”

Scansen is one of only a handful of veterinarians in the country who has completed a fellowship in interventional radiology. He appreciates the center’s proximity to Nationwide Children’s Hospital because he can consult with doctors there about patient treatment. Since children can be close to animals in size and weight, there are often useful parallels. Scansen recently

offered them his thoughts on a human case.

“Having physicians available to consult and assist with veterinary cases has proven invaluable. It allows us to offer a level of care that is truly cutting-edge,” he said. “We bring these novel treatment options to pets much sooner and are able to leverage the incredible experience and expertise of the MDs to make the early cases in animals successful.”

Recent upgrades to the facility’s clinical trial office also have benefitted human and animal patients. The

“Having them as a local resource is a huge benefit.”

Jack Knapp, veterinarian and alumnus

office routinely runs clinical trials that give dogs access to new cancer treatments and uncover important information for doctors who treat humans, said Dr. Cheryl London, an associate professor.

“There’s a significant amount of new information that can be applied to future human studies or ongoing studies,” she said.

A portion of the money raised in the fundraising campaign will go toward hiring more standouts in the veterinary education field to help the college continue to be a leader in research and treatment options, King said.

Attracting more quality faculty members will enhance the education students receive and help grow the school’s reputation, he said.

He is eager to put the college’s resources toward the One Health concept to look at the safety of the global food system, issues of animal extinction and the relationships between animal and human diseases. “(Our college) is better poised than almost any college in the country” to take on a leadership role, he said. “They’ve always been a pioneer.”

Improvements to the medical facility and hiring additional faculty also will help attract quality students, said Jack Advent, executive director of the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association in Columbus. Advent and the members of his organization are working with the college to help raise money for scholarships.

He hopes people understand what an asset the school is. “It’s definitely a plus for the state,” he said. “And it’s definitely a plus for the veterinarian community and the pet-owning public.”

what the doctor ordered

The Veterinary Medical Center at the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine offers pet owners a variety of options for state-of-the-art medical care. Here’s a look at highlights

1. Interventional Medicine Suite Completed March 2011 The suite offers the center’s veterinarians a place to perform cutting-edge surgeries that address heart, liver, urinary and respiratory problems. It’s equipped for surgeries, as well as less-invasive procedures that use X-rays or imaging equipment.

“It is patterned after the hybrid operating room at Nationwide Children’s Hospital,” said Dr. Brian Scansen, director of the Cardiac Catheterization & Interventional Medicine Laboratory. “It’s the only room in the country that is designed and built to take care of small patients like dogs and cats, and large animals like horses and cows. We can do novel procedures.”

2. Animal Blood Bank Renovated March 2011 The blood bank collects and stores blood from donor cats, dogs, llamas and alpacas. The blood is available and distributed locally and nationwide for animals who are sick or in need of emergency treatment. “Blood is a vital tool,” said Dr. Cristina Iazbik, managing director of the blood bank. “It’s very important to have it available when it’s needed.”

3. Canine Physical Rehabilitation Center Opened March 2008 The center provides a place for about 35 dogs a week to undergo rehab using specialized equipment like an underwater

treadmill. Dogs use the equipment before or after orthopedic surgery to restore physical function. The center also aids dogs with osteoarthritis, neurological problems, weight loss and agility issues. “The equipment allows us provide a standard of care for animals similar to what humans receive,” said Tracy Marsh, veterinary rehabilitation services coordinator. “Being able to offer our patients hydrotherapy puts us at the forefront of the veterinary rehabilitation industry.”

4. Clinical Trials Office Established 2007 More than 20 clinical trials are conducted yearly here, typically involving 500 to 600 animals. About 75 percent of the trials are oncology related. “It’s often a win for the human side and pet owners,” said Dr. Cheryl London, an associate professor at the veterinary college. “Pet owners may get access to free care and state-of-the-art treatment that’s not normally available. Human medicine gains new information that can be used to guide future therapies for people with various diseases.”

5. The Trueman Chair in Equine Clinical Medicine and Surgery Established 2000 Dr. Alicia Bertone brought her cutting-edge molecular orthopedic research when she arrived as the Trueman Endowed Chair at the College of Veterinary Medicine in 2000.

2 Bertone, who had just completed a fellowship at Harvard University, focuses on injured horses by helping them grow new bone or cartilage. She combines stem cells or skin cells from injured horses with natural genes that accelerate healing. The process results in a “super cell” that she injects into the animal at the site of injury to regenerate cartilage and bone. She has used the technique on horses and other animals in clinical studies at the college. She hopes to continue her research so that this procedure can be offered at the center as a therapy to more animals and more species of animals. “We’re trying to regenerate the tissue to the way it was,” Bertone said. “We believe we can create bone that is 100 percent the same in strength and appearance.”

6. Equine Surgery Suites Completed 1997 These modern facilities are large enough to contain all the necessary imaging equipment for difficult fracture reconstructions and other complex procedures. They also feature an observation deck for students or clients to watch doctors perform procedures. “We are privileged to have these top-tier, state-of-the-art facilities available for surgeons and our equine patients, resulting in the highest quality of surgical care,” Bertone said. “For students, having the opportunity to observe the procedures in the room or from the observation deck presents a unique training opportunity. It allows large numbers of students to benefit from seeing these procedures. It’s a really novel concept for vet med.”

omeone blew it. And the whole of Columbus was about to find out.

Andrea Cambern, then a star daytime anchor for WBNS 10TV, taped a health segment each afternoon to be shown during the late newscasts. And each time she taped it, she did something goofy—something she hoped would make the night editors laugh while putting together her clip.

But on this particular evening, someone made a mistake.

So in the middle of the nightly news, when the anchors kicked to Cambern’s segment, the city didn’t get to hear about health.

Instead, there was the pretty brunette—the one who had fought so hard for so long to be taken seriously enough to earn this position—dancing. No music. Just her. On camera. Gettin’ funky.

Cambern was mortified—and scolded. But something funny happened that would change how she saw her job.

“We got 70 calls to the newsroom that night,” she recalls. “And every one of them wanted to see it again.”

Ah-ha.

It’s exactly what Columbus wanted, she realized: just her, being herself.

For 20 years, the city has invited Cambern into their homes to give them the news of the day, first in the afternoon and then at night. In her first year anchoring the nightly news—2007—viewership skyrocketed: WBNS 10TV gained viewers in the 5, 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts. And since 2008, the 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts have ranked first in nearly every sweeps ratings period. (WBNS 10TV is owned by The Dispatch Printing Co., which also owns Capital Style.) Meanwhile, Cambern has been recognized by her industry peers, too, winning six Emmy awards and the title of National Association of Television Journalists Female Anchor of the Year.

Tom Griesdorn, the president and general manager of WBNS who has worked in TV for more than 30 years, said he can sum up why people like her with two words: she’s genuine. “Andrea’s really one of the most accommodating, motivated and easy-tomanage talent that I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with,” he said. “With Andrea, what you see is what you get.”

Now, the woman who is arguably the most recognizable face in the city is leaving.

On May 23, Cambern, 53, will report her final newscast before jetting to Paris (where she’s never been, thanks in part to a demanding schedule) and then settling into a new life in Santa Barbara, Calif., where her husband, Brett, has taken a job.

But before she says goodbye, we sat down for a chat. Cambern, who has written for Capital Style since the magazine launched four years ago, promised to be exactly what she was the night the city saw her dance: herself. So on a sunny afternoon, she sat in her comfy Downtown condo (temporary digs after years in German Village) and talked about her real name (Andi), escaping an abusive relationship (by dropping out of college), her husband (20 years and no fights—she swears!), why she’s leaving (no, nobody pushed her out), Botox (yes, please) and life after anchoring (stay tuned). Here are highlights from our conversation.

Kristy: Everyone called you Andi growing up, and your family and friends still do.

What was Andi like?

Andrea: I was trouble. That’s why I have two cats and no kids, because payback’s a bitch (laughing)! I was a rebel.

My parents moved from the Chicago area to Arizona when I was in eighth grade. I was a good kid, and then this move turned my world upside down.

What were you doing?

Sneaking out at night.

Just running with a group of punks. A little pot, a little drinking. I can’t ever drink rum and Coke again. Trouble.

Trouble. I just had no confidence—wasn’t confident with this new group of kids.

How’d you turn it around?

In high school, I got involved in student council, cheerleading. Mine was the house where they built the floats.

But by the end of high school you found yourself in a bad place again—this time with a boy.

He was a DJ at a local dance club. I was the disco queen.

I must have been 17 or 18, and he was 28 maybe. He was possessive. But I fell head over heels. It ended up being an abusive relationship emotionally and physically.

“People say your job doesn’t define you, but my job does define me. I have put my heart, my soul into what I do.” andrea Cambern

While still dating him, you enrolled in Arizona State.

What was that like?

I studied a little bit of everything. I did not know what I wanted to be or do. All (my boyfriend) could think about was keeping me away from my family and friends. I was in college but not going to class. I was there but I was not there.

What did you finally do to get away?

I left school. I escaped.

Decided I needed to grow up.

Put some space between me and this situation.

So you became a flight attendant.

I joined Braniff, the airline.

We wore Halston uniforms— very chichi. I hated every minute of it. But it served me well, because it got me out of this bad relationship. I think it saved my life.

A couple years later, you moved into your own apartment in Phoenix and started working. What did you do?

I got an administrative assistant job at a modeling school. I worked my way up into doing special events and marketing, then got a job at a department store chain doing special events and marketing.

Then I was hired by Ramada to do special events and marketing. Then I was put in charge of marketing for all of Ramada.

You eventually took a corporate job at Dillard’s department store, where you oversaw public relations for their stores throughout Arizona. And it was there that you first got into TV. How? I pitched a segment to the local TV station—a consumer services segment—on behalf of the department store. They

were like, “Great. Can you do it?” So I’m like, “Sure!” I’d bring in fashions or talk about how to use your credit card, how to size your childrens’ clothing.

And you caught the TV bug.

I loved being in the newsroom environment. I fell in love with it—everything about it. And I became less enamored with public relations. I had no degree. I had no formal training. But I left the department store to pursue TV.

From the top: Andrea as a toddler in the 1960s; on board as a Braniff flight attendant in 1978; marrying Brett in Scottsdale on New Year’s Eve 1991; with broadcasting partner Dave Kaylor in 1992; with her mother, Gerry, in 2005; and enjoying Italy with Brett in 2008

“With Andrea, what you see is what you get.”

Tom Griesdorn, president and general manager of WBNS 10TV

You opened your own PR firm to pay the bills. How did you pursue your dream on the side?

I started sending out my tapes, knocking on doors. I kept getting, “Thanks but no thanks.” It was terrible. I’m sure I was terrible.

One day, the news director for a Phoenix station brought you in, and you thought he was perhaps giving you a job—or at least a chance.

But that wasn’t the case.

He said, “Andrea, I’ve been in this business for a long time. Some people are cut out for this business, and some people aren’t. And you aren’t.”

I said, “I have heart, and I know I can do what it takes to learn.” He said, “Don’t waste your time, and don’t waste mine.” I tucked my tail between my legs and walked out of the newsroom I wanted to work in so bad, and cried all the way home.

You had almost given up on the idea when, at a business presentation in your PR role, you were part of a video package. And it caught just the right eye.

The general manager from another station walked up to me and said, “Have you ever

thought about being in TV?” Stars aligned. I think reluctantly, the news director gave me an opportunity. I promised myself that’s all I wanted.

What did you do for them?

It was working early, early, early mornings, writing (and reading) the cut-ins (the quick news briefs read when national news shows take short breaks for local news updates). Twenty-five dollars a day. I worked 3 a.m. to 8 a.m., then my fulltime job (in PR).

You also decided to go by Andrea instead of Andi.

Why? I didn’t have any credentials to back up anything I was saying. I felt like I needed a reinvention of myself to be taken seriously. So Andrea was born.

Your colleagues didn’t love you.

The people in Phoenix totally resented me. And set me up to fail on more than one occasion. I can remember one time in particular the anchors were tossing to me for a story.

Suddenly, there was no tape.

And I think they sabotaged it to see how I would react.

Those things happened often.

You worked those early mornings for 3 and a half years. The station was working on a morning show that they promised you. But

“I think a lot of people are surprised that what you see on TV is really her personality.”

Brett Cambern, Andrea’s husband

Leading Ladies when the show finally aired, you didn’t get the job.

The news director said, “Andrea, to be honest, if your last name was Hernandez, the job would be yours.”

So you hired an agent, sent out tapes, and got two offers—a reporting job in San Francisco and a reporting/anchoring job in Tucson.

I felt like I would get chewed up and spit out in San Francisco. So I went to Tucson as a weekend anchor and reporter and learned. It was what I needed to do. All the while, I was still feeling like a little bit of an imposter.

Do you still?

I still do. I pinch myself sometimes. Just because the school thing, the first news director. (She chokes up.) I have no formal training, no education. Everyday I’m so grateful.

I feel like oh—I’m going to be found out. Kids email me all the time and ask what classes they should take. I don’t want to discourage that. So what I talk about is perseverance,

because I can speak to that with great authority. (Now, she cries just a bit.) Yet somehow I’ve had this magical career.

After two years in Tucson, a consultant working with you at that station suggested you for an opening in Columbus.

And I immediately went home and tried to figure out where in the hell Columbus, Ohio was (laughing).

You talked to everyone you could about the city—people in news and people who had lived here for school or otherwise.

Everybody said WBNS is it. Everybody said the same thing—“Oh, Columbus—I love it. I wish I could go back.”

What was your interview visit like?

They took me to lunch at Lindey’s, and it was a fall, beautiful day. People were dressed in suits in this quaint little neighborhood. And I fell in love. I called Brett—we were engaged at the time— and I said, “If I get this job, I know where we’re living.”

OK, let’s cut away for a minute to talk about Brett, who is originally from California.

How’d you meet?

He lived in my mom’s apartment complex in Phoenix. She must have called me every day—“Oh my god, you have to meet this guy at the pool.” I fell in love the moment he opened his mouth, and we were married six months later.

You obviously took the job here, and the two of you moved here to start your life together.

We took this big leap of faith—these two people

who barely knew each other, moving to this city we knew nothing about—and built this beautiful life together. Every friend we made was new to both of us. Every restaurant we tried was new to both of us. We came here with tons of debt and no money.

What does Brett do?

He works for JPMorgan Chase as an investment banker. (He’s executive director of JPMorgan asset management.) I always say he’s facts and figures and I’m color and texture—perfect!

Back to work now. When you arrived, AmeriFlora, an international horticultural exhibition, was held for six months at Franklin Park. You did a live show there every day, five days a week, for months, with no teleprompter. You also did a segment called “Heart of Ohio,” hitting the road and meeting people. Definitely baptism by fire, eh?

There was this great connection that you don’t necessarily get in the studio.

And Dave Kaylor was my partner at the time and he was a legend. He made it kind of a shtick—“We’re going to show this Arizona girl what Central Ohio’s all about.” So I think that had a lot to do with people accepting me. He meant the world to me.

from a woman months later who said, “You probably don’t even remember this story, but we used your information. And I just wanted to let you know we’re expecting.” She then tells another story about a woman who said a segment reminding her to have a mammogram may have saved her life.] Those are the ones that are most meaningful to me.

Any stories through the years you’re particularly proud of?

No monumental events, although being an eyewitness to things like 9/11 and the Oklahoma City bombings (was interesting). But the ones that have mattered are the ones that change people’s lives. [She recalls having done a story about a new fertility treatment, and getting a call

What’s celebrity status in Columbus like?

It is the most wonderful thing! People are like, “Don’t you get tired of people coming up to you?” Never once, not one time ever. It’s never, ever been negative, intrusive—nothing but anything kind and heartening. I will probably miss it more than anything. I’m a little bit afraid of anonymity.

Brett recently took you to Santa Barabara’s version of Gallery Hop—one of your favorite things to do in Columbus—because he thought you would love it.

But it kind of backfired.

I love Gallery Hop here.

But I can’t walk two steps without people saying “hi” or whatever. So Brett thought (taking me to this would) help me feel good about Santa Barbara. So we went, and nobody knew me from Adam.

I was a stranger to everybody.

And it was probably the worst thing he could have done. I felt invisible for the first time in 20 years. And while some people would relish that, it was breaking my heart.

Are you afraid of that kind of existence?

People say your job doesn’t

define you, but my job does define me. I have put my heart, my soul into what I do.

And it won’t be a slow transition. It will be cold turkey. I’m worried about my psyche. It will be very lonely, I think. I think I’m really afraid of that.

Let’s talk about the leaving part. Why are you leaving?

People do want to believe, “They’re pushing her out; they’re making a change.”

Because that’s the nature of this business. I know nobody who left on their own accord.

I know not one person. So that’s the normal reaction.

That’s understandable. My husband gave me a great gift 20 years ago when he said, “Of course we can leave everything we know to go to Columbus, Ohio.” So I promised him that I would return

the favor someday. California’s home for him. I can see it in his eyes when he’s there. The time is right for me to make him the priority—his wants, his dreams. It’s time.

You also admittedly don’t want to fade away.

I always said there will never be a good time for me to leave this job. But if I can determine when that time is, I would be the happiest person on earth. So even if this seems premature to me, and I’m not ready yet, it’s time. I didn’t want to drift away. I didn’t want people in the newsroom to look at me like, “She’s not engaged.”

Brett oversees a division of his company that has several clients on the West Coast, and after traveling back

and forth for quite some time, his company wanted a permanent presence there.

The two of you already had a second home in Santa Barbara. So he started working out there about a year or so ago, and you’ve actually tried a commuter relationship. How’s that going?

We have the most incredible relationship. He is my soul mate without a doubt.

I thought if anybody could make this work, we could.

My schedule is so demanding anyway. During the week we didn’t really see each other. …But it’s been very, very difficult. We miss each other terribly. Weekend events are hard going to alone. It’s been a very lonely existence.

Rumor has it the two of you actually still love each May/June 2012 Capital-Style.com

Leading Ladies other—you know, in the adorable, romantic-comedy kind of way.

We have been married 20 years and have never had an argument. I swear! Never a cross word. We definitely have differences of opinion, but we just don’t go there. And believe me, I can fight! He’s just such a good person.

Aside from the Brewery District apartment you first moved into, you’ve only lived in German Village. But you’ve hardly stayed put.

Homes and décor have become a passion for both of you: you buy places, renovate, sell and do it again.

How many Village homes have you done that with?

Six. We always laugh—we don’t have kids, we have houses. We love German Village. We love the whole idea that we are caretakers of a legacy. I don’t know if it extends from coming from Arizona, where everything is new and fresh and clean. But I fell in love with the history.

Were your first couple homes “project homes” by choice or necessity?

Necessity. We bought the first one, fixed it up, sold it.

Bought the second one, fixed it up, sold it. It just became this really fun thing. We didn’t buy these properties to fix them up and sell them; we bought the properties to fix them up and live in them and enjoy them.

And you’ve always done all the decorating yourself, right?

Yes. So what’s next for you?

I have no clue. I love writing. I have toyed with that. I have toyed with doing TV, but my husband shuts me down

on that right away, so that’s out. I think I have to follow my heart and do something with houses, with décor, with creating. I love houses. I love spaces and places and décor and the creative process of it.

You’ve mentioned to me that you like the idea of potentially opening a home décor shop…

I’ve thought about maybe opening a store, maybe moving in that direction.

It’s an exciting prospect. I’m going to force myself to step back, breathe, take my watch off. Find out who I really am outside of this. I told Brett, “Careful what you wish for— you may not like me!” We may start arguing (laughing).

You’re definitely ditching the name Andrea, though, and going back to Andi.

This is the one thing I’m sure of: I am going back to Andi. And hopefully the rest will flow from there.

And you might change your hair, too.

Yep. Because nobody will call about it! May pierce my nose. I’m getting rid of all my clothes. Starting over.

I know people reading this are going to think the nose piercing comment is a joke, but it’s not. You actually told me that a while back. You’re serious.

Uh-huh—yeah. It’s a reinvention. You don’t get to do that very often. So why not?

On the piercing front, you actually have your belly button pierced.

It’s my little secret. My little wild thing that I did when I turned 40. And I will wear it ‘til the day I die so that when they go to cremate me they’ll say, “You know, she had it going on back in the day!”

Your image as an anchor is obviously incredibly important. Talk about that.

I could speak Greek for a half hour and nobody would call. But if my hair looks bad, five people will. I got this letter from a woman one day about everything she did not like about me. I read it and I got all choked up. You try to have thick skin and not let people bother you. But I got all choked up. I wrote her a letter back saying, “What a luxury it must be to sit on your cozy couch and care about what I look like while I’m trying to do my job.” I cried all the way home and told Brett about it.

months later, I was sitting watching Diane Sawyer or Katie Couric or someone, and I said, “What was she thinking pairing that blouse with that skirt?!” And Brett looked at me and said, “What a luxury it must be to sit on your cozy couch and care about what she looks like while she’s trying to do her job.” It put it in perspective for me. …But to be able to experiment will be kind of fun.

What’s your schedule like?

It is not a 9 to 5 job. We work weekends, we work holidays. I go in about 1:30 or 2 p.m. every day, and I’m there until midnight. But there are always luncheons or board meetings or school appearances that fill my morning.

And weekend events. You emcee practically every philanthropic event I’m ever at—and lots more than that.

I had three appearances last Saturday. And you could do even more. There’s so much good being done in this community, and if me being there helps in some small way, I’m happy to.

What time is left for you?

Hair through the years: Andrea’s ever-changing locks People ask me all the time if you wear a wig. Do they ask you, too? Or only me because they don’t have the nerve to ask you (laughing)?

That cracks me up! A wig?

Really? Do you think I would pay good money for this (tugging at her hair)? No wigs. This is what I got.

“My hair is the numberone reason people call the newsroom.

Seriously—that and weather.”

Do you get it colored?

Every three weeks, thank you very much. There is gray under here! I’ve found myself in the bathroom with a Sharpie (coloring my roots) going, “Oh my gosh—I’ve got to go on TV!” It is the number-one reason people call the newsroom. Seriously—that and weather.

Andrea Cambern, on her hair

Who is your stylist?

I’m back to Jacob Neal now.

Stephanie at Jacob Neal. That’s my guilty pleasure—having it blown dry once a week, because it lasts me about four days. I used to wash my hair every day. Now I wash it two days a week. It’s the most liberating thing!

Have you had plastic surgery?

I had my nose done when I was 18 or 19 or 20. But nothing recent.

What about Botox?

Botox is my best friend.

How often do you get it?

About every four to five months. I go to Dr. Brian Biernat. He is at the Center for Surgical Dermatology up in Westerville. He’s a friend.

It’s kind of weird having your friend shoot stuff into your head, but hey…

And just for the record, there’s no hair and makeup team at the station.

We do it ourselves. That’s why it looks the way it does.

So stop calling and writing (laughing)!

It’s not secret you’re a fitness buff, and you’ve led the citywide campaign Commit to be Fit. Do you get

pressure from others to stay slender?

I don’t have any pressure from other people for that—it’s all my own. But the mental benefits of working out are better than the physical for me. I’m a runner.

Getting ready to run the half (marathon) in May. That’s my big thing. I do P90X. I love it but I hate it. I’ll take a TGM (Tracey Gardner Method yoga) class, but I’m not a regular.

Have you run a full marathon?

I ran my first marathon when I was 40.

How many have you done?

Two and a bunch of halves.

You also rode the Pelotonia bike race with Brett.

A: It was one of the best days of my life, riding through the Ohio countryside, with people holding signs like, “Thank you. Cancer survivor lives here.” I cried the whole way to Athens.

a husband’s take Highlights from a chat with Andrea’s husband, Brett

K: What’s it been like being married to the city’s sweetheart?

B: Truthfully, it was a little bit of an adjustment. It was a little strange at first. We’re out on a quiet evening, and part of me thinks, we’re just trying to have a quiet evening. And she has reminded me, “People are saying nice things—who wouldn’t want that?” I’m just amazed at her when people come up. I think a lot of people are surprised that what you see on TV is really her personality.

K: What do you love most about her? I’m giving you a softball here…

B: The softball answer would be everything. It’s true. She’s an amazing person. We’ve had incredible times together, sharing every possible moment together we can. I just enjoy every second we’re together, hate every second we’re apart.

K: Is it hard for you to handle others’ occasional criticisms of her?

B: Oh, it’s certainly difficult. I think it’s one thing if somebody’s criticizing your work. But if they’re merely criticizing appearance, what other job is subjected to that?

When it’s personal and mean-spirited, they’re criticizing you as a person and not as a journalist, and that’s not easy. I think the ones that get me are when I see people post things just assuming she’s a phony and in real life she’s nothing like she is on the air. I just want to grab these people and say, “Have you ever actually met her and talked with her? You couldn’t be more wrong.” In a lot of cases it may be true, but in her case, it’s definitely not.

K: What are you looking forward to about her retiring?

B: Just us having more time together. With her current schedule … we just didn’t have that much time together, so I’m definitely looking forward to having that.

K: What do you want to see her do next?

B: Just something that’s absolutely fun and fulfilling for her.

She’s worked incredibly hard her entire career. She’s not going to sit on the beach and read books, but I’d like her to find something that’s pure fun and much less stress.

Kristy: How does Andrea look at Columbus?

Brett: We were both West Coasters, and when she first got the opportunity, we didn’t know a whole lot about Columbus.

We thought, “We’ll put in our time—do three years, and move on.” After just a couple years, we realized very quickly what a great community it is. And here we are, 20 years later.

Brett and Andrea at the 2011 German Village Haus und Garten Tour pre-party

here when she battled cancer so she could be close to you and be treated there.

She was my best friend.

My biggest critic. My biggest fan. We lost her in 2005. But I owe them (The James) so much for their kindness and compassion.

Do you cook?

I store my sweaters in the oven. Are you serious? Why would I when other people do it so much better (laughing)?

Speaking of mothers, I know you joke about kids—not having them because you don’t want payback. But did you ever want them?

Never tried, but always thought we would. Never made a conscious decision that we wouldn’t. I don’t think I could have done it. I don’t think I would have been very good at prioritizing. We’ve got lots of nieces and nephews.

How hard is it to know someone else will be sitting in your chair soon?

I thought that because this decision was mine, I would be absolutely fine with it.

And then there were people that they were auditioning in my chair, with my coanchor, and I had a very surprising reaction emotionally. I had to go into the bathroom and cry.

Twenty years is a long time.

To be perfectly honest, I think it will be very hard to watch the world go on without me. I know that sounds stupid.

And two cats.

Lilly and Bamboo. They’re Bengal cats. They’re about four years old. And they’re like monkeys in cat clothing (she’s playing with one of them right now). I love dogs, and I think that’s one of the things we’re talking about (getting).

What are you most proud of?

Just being able to have an impact in the community and making it a priority. A lot of people resent being asked to go above and beyond. And I think above and beyond is the most meaningful.

smarts to spare A college grad at only 19, Emily Flower hopes to spark social change Story by: Beth Stallings Photo by: alysia burton

E

mily Flower’s cheeks must hurt. The Ohio State senior hasn’t stopped smiling over the past hour, regardless of the subject: Her passion for social change. Her love of hearing others’ stories.

Her dislike of calculus.

Even the car accident that left her with damaged nerves in both legs, cutting her swimming career short at 14, keeps her grinning. Of course she cried over losing her identity as an athlete, she says. To this day, she can only stand for four hours at a time (although she can bike all she wants). But she finishes her story, smiling wide, saying, “A lot of good came out of that accident.”

Namely, it prompted her to log more than 450 volunteer hours at Nationwide Children’s Hospital through high school and participate in a summer program there with other local gifted students. It was then when she first found real peers, and discovered that others her age were just as driven and passionate as she—a revelation she calls a blessing.

Now, the girl who grew up homeschooled on the city’s East Side and enrolled in college two years ago is already graduating—at 19. But forget stereotypes, because this newage Doogie Howser breaks every one. Unlike the famous

TV super teen, Flower has decided not to take the medical path (although she started out that way), but to focus on what she says she does best (talking) and what she’s passionate about (helping others).

In June, she’ll graduate with a bachelor’s degree in public affairs, specializing in nonprofit management. “(It’s a) program where I can be passionate about the things I am really passionate about: development, human issues, poverty in America, inequality,” she says.” And where I could do a lot of talking.”

Her gift to communicate caught the attention of local entrepreneur Joe DeLoss last spring, who hired Flower as a business operations intern

ON BEING HOMESCHOOLED How Long

Flower, who otherwise would have attended Columbus Public Schools on the near East Side, was homeschooled by her mother through fifth grade and then attended an online virtual school. At 15, she began taking classes at Columbus State as part of a post-secondary education option. She arrived at Ohio State with 65 credits (making her a sophomore), and continued to take 20 credits every quarter (a full load is 12 to 15).

Interactive Learning At home, if they were studying art, they went to a museum. If they were studying the judicial system, they went to the courthouse and sat in on a trial. They took trips. The idea was to show there is always something to learn. Every night at dinner, her parents would ask, “What did you learn today?”

On Graduating Early “I wanted to finish earlier because I’d rather be doing than learning about doing,” Flower says. “I hate school. It’s not the learning that I hate, it’s the structure of learning that I hate.”

future thoughts What Dad says

I want to start a nonprofit and have her run in for me,” says Victor Flower, adding that he’d be OK working for his daughter.

What her boss says I’d love to see her work for me,” Joe DeLoss says. But he’ll also give her his blessing elsewhere. “Emily will have my full recommendation and help behind her to get any job that she wants. She’s going to be unbelievable at whatever she ends up doing.

What Emily says I want to take some time off and sort out whether or not I want to go into a master’s of public affairs program or a master’s of business administration program,” she says. Eventually, she’d like to change the way nonprofits function, giving those in need not just enough to get by, but the tools to succeed on their own.

at his nonprofit Freshbox Catering, which provides transitional skills to residents of faith mission groups.

“I was immediately impressed with Emily,” DeLoss recalls. “She has a really unbelievable character. She’s driven by a much bigger picture than hourly wage.”

At Freshbox, Flower did a little of everything, from coordinating kitchen employees to generating a point of sale system. Eventually, Flower took a position as a business manager and analyst at DeLoss’s new community and business development

“She was strong-willed from birth. She’s always been the leader out front who gets everyone to come along— but always in a good way.”

Loraine Flower, Emily’s mother

nonprofit, Nobul Co. Flower’s charitable quality is something the parents of the bubbly brunette have always seen, along with her ability to take charge with confidence. From the time she was a toddler, says Flower’s mother, Loraine, the girl was able to get others to follow her lead—and always in a good way.

“She’s very driven,” adds her father, Victor. “She doesn’t just want (the needy) to be given something. She wants to change things so that they succeed. She has a different vision and different outlook

than other people have.”

How she’s going to inspire that change after graduation, Flower isn’t quite sure. But there’s one thing she knows: it’s time for something new.

While she loves Columbus, she hopes to head to a bigger city, such as New York City or Chicago and get a job before starting on a master’s degree.

“I haven’t learned the crucial skill to say no, or learned how to take a Sunday off and just go to the park and read,” she says. “I’ve loved living in Columbus, but I need something new in my life. I need to shake it up a bit.”

The art galleries and stores she tours inspired this collection—as did Alexander McQueen’s fascination with structure. This skirt is made of ribbon and took 35 hours.

his year’s Columbus College of Art & Design senior fashion design class may be small (with 16 students, it’s about half the size of last year’s and next year’s), but it’s also mighty. So instead of showing the typical two looks in the annual fashion show, select students—whose work was juried by local fashion pros—will send as many as six down the catwalk on May 11. Here’s a peek at a half dozen looks and the designers behind them.

Michele Watson

Alyssa Johnson

Rachel Kaplan

Personal style: “Comfortable, fun, colorful.”

Collection (Four looks): “Bright. A lot of prints. Afro-centric.”

The goods: Raised on bold patterns and bright colors by her hometown (Miami) and her biggest influence (mom), Watson, 21, used African clothing and prints as her collection’s inspiration. Fun model details: ankle bracelets and branches in their hair.

Personal style: “Eclectic, vintage.

Sexy thrift. Mismatched, but it works.”

Collection (Five looks): “Prints, geometric shapes, simple silhouettes, tactile.”

The goods: The 22-year-old spent last summer interning for Coach. Her work with the iconic accessories line helped influence her collection’s accessories.

Those necklaces? They’re purses.

Personal style: “New York meets L.A. trendy.”

Collection (Five looks): “Flashy, glamorous, feminine, confident, beaddazzled.”

The goods: Kaplan, 21, models in her spare time, and her catwalk competence has influenced her fashion design. “It has helped me know what can go down the runway without looking like a hot mess.”

suit yourself Story by: Brian Lindamood

en’s business wear gets a bad rap for being stodgy or dull. But the problem isn’t the suit: it’s the generic fit in the same humdrum style that makes you look like the Business-Bot 2000 in blue pinstripes. Boring.

Instead, skip the drab, offthe-rack looks for a suit with individual flair that’s tailored to flatter your body. Custom suit-makers, like Columbusbased Astor & Black, let you choose from thousands of fabrics and hundreds of other personalized options.

From pockets, cuffs and collars down to individual

buttonholes, you can create a unique look that stands out.

Best of all is the fit. Astor & Black consultants visit your office or home (itself an indulgence) and take up to 28 measurements, making sure your suit fits in places you never before considered measuring. (Packages start at $2,500 for three suits, three shirts and three ties.) As a custom-suit convert, I can attest: Nothing is more comfortable than a well-made suit that’s been cut for your body.

And the confidence boost is what dressing up for work is all about.

Here are just a few of the other details you can personalize with a custom-made suit.

[Jacket Lining]

[Cuff Buttons]

Jacket linings in complementary or striking colors are a subtle way to show this suit is yours from the inside out.

Functioning buttons let you roll up your sleeves or just leave one unbuttoned to nonchalantly let everyone know this suit is the real deal.

[Shirt] Shirts can be personalized with dozens of collar and cuff styles and a dizzying selection of patterns and fabrics.

[Lapel Buttonhole] Buttonhole stitching can be customized for a pop of color on the lapel or cuffs.

[Lapel] Jacket lapels are an obvious place to stand out, from this conventional notched look to trendier pointed lapels.

[Outside Jacket Pocket] Jacket pockets can be customized for fun or function. On another jacket I added a small ticket pocket, a British affectation inspired

German Village offers delectable eats, unique shopping, phenomenal homes and more Story by: kristy Eckert

the ways.

The folks who live in what they simply call The Village are almost cult-like about their passion for this charming neighborhood. And rightfully so.

Nestled on 233 acres a stone’s throw from Downtown, The Village was settled in the early 1800s and proudly calls itself one of the preeminent historic districts in the country. It boasts brick streets, houses neatly lined along sidewalks and a cozy-

chic neighborhood vibe with friendly shopkeepers and talented chefs.

It’s a place where home aficionados buy quaint, rundown cottages—sometimes in sets of two, to combine and enlarge—and transform them into million-dollar gems.

(And once a year, hundreds descend upon The Village to tour them in the popular Haus und Garten Tour.)

But you needn’t reside there to enjoy The Village’s bevy of gifts. It’s a great place to spend a Saturday—and always sure to impress out-of-town guests. Here’s a look at some highlights.

Sip & Read Cup o’ Joe (627 S. Third St.) and Starbucks (650 S. Third St.) offer comfy spots to meet up for a morning drink. Order your favorite blend, then walk over to The Book Loft (631 S. Third St., shown at left) to peruse its legendary 32 rooms of bargain books.

snack

Pistacia Vera (541 S. Third St.) is a dessert boutique lauded for its delicacies by Spencer Budros (above)—and deservedly so. No Village trip is complete without a couple macarons (at left). Bakery Gingham (189 Thurman Ave.) will also delight those with a sweet tooth: Cupcakes, anyone?

shop

Helen Winnemore Craft (150 E. Kossuth St.) is packed with unique gifts from American artists, and it’s run by uber-kind Sarah Kellenberger Harpham (above). They’ll offer you tea when you arrive, so take them up on it and enjoy the fun jewelry, dishware and more. Then, move from whimsy to chic at Twig Garden & Home (495 S. Third St., at right).

You’ll feel a little bit cooler just for walking into this sophisticated home décor shop that doubles as a florist and provides flowers for the likes of Victoria’s Secret and Nordstrom. Next, Caterina Ltd. (571 S. Third St.) offers an array of imported luxuries, including ceramics, linens and flatware. Owned by Catherine Adams (below)—a longtime attorney and wife of former Columbus Mayor Greg Lashutka—the shop sells, in her words, “cool stuff from Europe.”

Beck St., below left) and enjoy mimosas and gossip before your meal. (And while you’re there, step across the street to Metroscap (177 E. Beck St.) to admire its black-and-white cityscape photos.) Looking for fun? Katzinger’s (475 S. Third St., below right) offers gigantic, sharable-size sandwiches with all sorts of fixins. (Neal’s Let’s Make A Meal is an indulgent delight!) Looking to impress out-of-town guests? Take them to the famed Schmidt’s (240 E. Kossuth St.)—the place keeping the German in German Village—for a Bahama Mama sausage (above) and giant cream puff. Want to picnic in the park? Visit Brown Bag Deli (898 Mohawk St.) to pick up sandwiches and homemade sides, walk down the block to Schiller Park, spread a blanket and enjoy.

The annual German Village Haus und Garten Tour features fabulous homes and gardens each year for guests to explore (above, at right and below). This year’s tour is June 24, and tickets typically cost $15 in advance and $20 at the door. (True insiders relish the higherticket preview the night before, taking private tours of the homes, then gathering for intimate home dinners and a neighborhood party.)

During holiday time, Village Lights (above right) is a fun way to get in the spirit. The Sunday night event (this year Dec. 2 from 6 to 10 p.m.) includes carolers, luminaries, hot cider, shopping and more (GermanVillage.com).

The everchanging seasonal menu includes treats like Wild Alaskan Halibut on a risotto cake topped with crawfish remoulade, served in intimate digs by folks who know exactly what they’re doing. Barcelona (263 E. Whittier St.) offers another nice dinner choice, with a swanky-chic atmosphere, Spanishinfluenced dishes and a perfect patio.

There’s no shortage of places to meet for drinks. Going casual?

Timid To Tuck?

Story by: Beth Stallings Photo by: Yogesh Chaudhary

T

here’s no stupid question, says breast and body plastic surgeon Dr. Christine Sullivan. But when it comes to cosmetic surgery, many can be embarrassing, admits the owner of Sullivan Centre in Worthington.

Different patients have different levels of comfort.

Some may feel awkward talking about sex. Others may be concerned their questions will make them sound vain. We asked local cosmetic surgeons for the questions that commonly bring a tint of rouge to their patient’s cheeks. And then we got the answers.

1

Will the surgeon or his staff be disgusted by my body during my consultation?

“We get that question a lot,” says Dr. Jeffrey Donaldson of Donaldson Plastic Surgery in Columbus. “Their perception is other people will be disgusted by it. Usually that’s not the case. There’s a spectrum of appearance. In a plastic surgeon’s office, that’s what we see all day long. It’s nothing shocking to people who do this every day.”

2

98

“A lot of patients don’t like to lose that commonality with mom or dad or their ethnicity,” he says. “We try to be conservative in those efforts if that’s the patient’s wish. It’s important we don’t impart our aesthetic ideals on patients.”

Guilt also can creep in when patients who have come for cosmetic reasons see other patients who need surgery because of an accident or skin cancer. “Sometimes they tell me they feel bad that their issue isn’t as meaningful as the next person’s,” Smith says. “I disagree with that.”

Should I feel guilty?

3

Patients sometimes feel more guilty than embarrassed, says Dr. Stephen Smith Jr., director of the Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Ohio State Medical Center and the medical director of Smith Facial Plastics in Dublin. This sense of remorse often comes more from changing family-given features, such as the nose, eyelids or neck.

Many patients fear that bruising and swelling will immediately alert others they’ve had plastic surgery. But the level of bruising and scarring depends on the experience and training of your plastic surgeon, Donaldson says.

With advancements in the field, techniques are less invasive, and cuts and injections

Capital-Style.com May/June 2012

Will it be obvious that I’ve had plastic surgery?

Ask Away

Local docs share a few questions patients should always ask What is your surgeon’s specialty?

Beyond just checking accreditation, make sure your physician is trained to treat the area of your body where you are having surgery. That might sound like an obvious question, but it can be an issue, says Dr. Christine Sullivan.

Dr. Jeffrey Donaldson agrees, saying he’s seen physicians in family practice or emergency medicine offering breast augmentation. “Know you are in a place with someone who’s been properly trained,” he says.

Can I see previous cases?

“It’s important for patients to find a surgeon who will show them some results,” advises Dr. Stephen Smith Jr. He will show patients before-and-after pictures of treated patients (only with their permission) so prospective patients can see real work that he’s done. This will help illustrate the quality of work your surgeon is capable of.

When can I fly?

“There are procedures where we don’t want you flying, especially the more invasive body procedures,” says Dina Maynard, a skin care specialist at the Sullivan Centre.

“If you’re not comfortable asking your surgeon, then maybe you need another surgeon.”

Dina Maynard, skin care specialist, Sullivan Centre can be hidden in the folds of the body and face. If scars are prominent, there are methods to reduce them. “Good plastic surgery should be subtle and not obvious,” Donaldson says.

Others are concerned about how to take time off of work without co-workers knowing they had surgery. Donaldson often signs a doctor’s note saying the person is under his care and needs time away or light duty. “A lot of people are concerned with that, but less than there was before,” he says. “Plastic surgery is much more mainstream today than it was 10 years ago.”

4

Will my results resemble the over-the-top job of a celebrity?

“Will my nose look like Michael Jackson’s?” some surgery patients ask. Those seeking Botox or fillers ask, “Will I look like the Housewives of Beverly Hills? Will I look overdone?” No, says Dr. Sumit Bapna of Ohio Facial Plastics in Dublin—not unless you want to. “We want your results to look natural,” he says. “The physician has a lot of control.”

5

When can I resume sexual activity?

Sexual questions are always the go-to embarrassing inquiry, says Dr. M. Bath, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Bella Cosmedica in Pickerington. “So we try to make mention of it so patients don’t have to ask,” he says. “For example, we say no sucking motion like on a straw.”

Also, answers vary depending on the type of procedure and sexual activity.

The more invasive the procedure, the longer you will need to wait, says Sullivan, of the Sullivan Centre. For example, a tummy tuck can leave you sidelined for three to four weeks, but liposuction doesn’t hamper sex for long at all.

On the face front, less invasive procedures such as Botox and fillers don’t force patients to change their habits. But facial surgery is a different story. Bapna, of Ohio Facial Plastics, tells patients to be careful for four to six weeks (the latter for especially for rhinoplasty).

6

7

Mothers trying to set a good example for their daughters often worry about the connotations associated with plastic surgery. “Every parent needs to address that within their own comfort zone,” Donaldson says. “Some parents hide it and don’t discuss. Others say, ‘This is a part of my body that has changed through birth or weight change, and it gives me more confidence moving forward.’ ”

Tell your physician. Most surgeons agree this question should always be brought up if it’s an issue. Some see patients, unsatisfied with results from another surgeon, who come to them looking for a fix up. “I stand by my results and take care of the patient until they are satisfied,” Donaldson says. “There are touch-up procedures available.” But you do have to ask.

How do I explain this to my children?

What if I don’t like the results?

This spring, for the third year in a row, Dylan and Amy Engler’s heralded pieces will be showcased in the upcoming Columbus Arts Festival. The couple, who have lived in Vancouver and Pittsburgh and now call Columbus home, meshed Dylan’s love for glassworking and Amy’s eye for interior design to start Engler Glass nearly 10 years ago. They handcraft bowls, platters, bottle stoppers and more, creating a line of fun and functional pieces. As the pair continues to get involved locally, they hope to someday offer classes. “It’s a lot of hard work, and your creativity has to keep developing,” Dylan said.

“There are no boundaries.”

The Columbus Arts Festival will run June 1 to 3 along the Scioto Mile. For more, visit ColumbusArtsFestival.org.

You say you’re inflexible. Mediating isn’t your thing. Or you’ve always wanted to try yoga, but just don’t know where to begin.

Starting now, no more excuses. “If you can breathe, you can do yoga,” insists Balanced Yoga instructor Anne Comarda. To prove her right, we consulted local studios to find styles of yoga perfect for every age and fit level.

Hatha Intensity: Low The Gist: While all yoga with postures can be considered hatha, on a studio schedule it refers to a slower class focused on refinement and alignment. “It’s working into the pose in a more mindful way,” explains Anne Comarda, who teaches at Clintonville’s Balanced Yoga.

“You’re going to get more talking, more stopping and

Capital-Style.com May/June 2012

Gina Derry, Balanced Yoga working on poses.” While less aerobic than vinyasa, Comarda says, hatha creates more body awareness and relaxation.

Who it’s For: “It’s good for all levels,” says Comarda, who sees a mix of middle-aged men and women. Beginners benefit from learning basic poses, while the advanced can move deeper into each move for a greater challenge.

“I’ve been practicing for 13 years and I still get challenged by the basic poses.”

Getting Started: First-timers should be prepared to use props (provided by the studio) outside of a mat: blocks, blankets for padding and straps to help stretch and reach.

Quick Tip: Find a teacher who can teach to all levels,

Comarda says, and one who also knows how to modify poses. “Hatha is also good for injuries, and those who don’t want to blow through postures.”

Ashtanga Intensity: Medium-High The Gist: Expect to start moving—and quickly. “You’ll be in downward dog within three breaths,” says Holly Moretti, owner of Grow Yoga in Grandview. The class will be vigorous for the first 10 to 15 minutes before settling into a series, holding poses while focusing on a gazing point. “You’ll sweat. It’s designed to heat the body so that it detoxifies you.”

Who it’s For: Initially designed for young men, ashtanga does require some athletic ability. It’s also a good fit for those who have trouble quieting their mind. “Some people need to be so intense in their movement that it distracts them from their thoughts,” Moretti says. “The faster practice appeals to them.”

Getting Started: Start with an ashtanga beginner class, “unless you are a runner or have really high aerobic capacity,” Moretti says.

A Little History: “It’s kind of a masculine practice—very driven, very focused,” she says. “It’s the same intensity as a workout, but a lot more gentle on the joints.”

just breathe While the pace of each yoga style may change, one idea is constant: controlled breathing will soothe the body and steady mindfulness. Beginners should expect to try a through-the-nose yoga breath known as pranayama, says Linda Oshins of Yoga on High, a popular studio in the Short North.

Pranayama breath goes low in the body, filling your belly, ribcage and then chest.

“With pranayama you can increase energy and store energy and level things out.”

Power Yoga Intensity: High The Gist: In a Downtown warehouse-esq space, Julie Verhoff Pipes cranks up the rock music and the heat (typically a balmy 85), and leads students through aerobic vinyasastyle poses. Here it’s all about the flow, linking each pose to the next breath. “I prefer a warm room for two reasons. You never want to stretch a cold muscle, so it prevents injury,” she says. “It also allows you to go deeper into the poses.”

Who it’s For: It’s good for athletes, Verhoff Pipes says—especially runners. “It’s great for strength and flexibility,” she adds. “And it’s cardiovascular.”

Getting Started: Students should expect to be challenged, but not intimidated, Verhoff Pipes says. Oh, and bring a towel and a bottle of water, as sweating isn’t optional.

Inspiration: An avid student of ashtanga, Verhoff Pipes remembers being in a class with no music and no heat, going through the same poses each time. “I remember thinking this could be a lot more fun,” she says. And V Power Yoga was born.

Décor A German Village renovation gives new life to an old home Story by: Dana Wilson Photos by: Will Shilling

M

ark Becker and Mary Schroy believe new isn’t always better.

A shared appreciation for the past drew these close friends to the brick streets of German Village, where they found an old, crumbling home and brought it back to life.

A developer had previously owned the property and gutted the interior, ripping out most of the walls and even the roof.

“You could actually see through to the sky,” Becker said. “It was a mess.”

But beyond the debris, he saw potential. Schroy, on the other hand, was certain her roommate had lost his mind.“I can’t even imagine this becoming a home,” she thought.

The structure, built around 1850, has since undergone a massive renovation that transformed the dilapidated fixer-upper into a modern space with throw-back charm.

“The home is historic, but it is essentially brand new from the bricks in,” Becker said.

He and Schroy, who both work in the medical field, chose custom builder Romanelli & Hughes to help design and rebuild the City Park Avenue home. The project, which began in 2009 and took a year to complete, included an addition that doubled the home’s square footage (from 1,400 to 2,800) and the construction of a gated drive and detached two-car garage (a rare Village luxury).

The renovation was still in progress when Becker and Schroy were first approached by organizers of the annual German Village Haus und Garten Tour.

They declined the first invitation to be on the tour—they needed time to settle in and decorate—but this year, tour visitors will get a glimpse inside.

Both Becker and Schroy are enamored with German Village, from its quaint architecture to its friendly neighbors, and the tour provides the perfect opportunity to share that love.

Capital-Style.com May/June 2012

Simple Living

The great room, situated in the back of the house, is part of a two-story addition constructed during the renovation. As they decorated the space, Becker and Schroy pulled inspiration from two of their favorite places: California Wine Country and Italy. They wanted to keep the overall look clean and simple. “Both Napa and Italy have a very open, light, simplistic feel to them,” Schroy said. “The focus is on the outside beauty, keeping the inside simple, not overdone with a bunch of ‘stuff.’ ” The centerpiece of the great room is a limestone fireplace. Above it hangs a wax painting

by Mel Rea purchased from Muse Gallery in German Village.

“We liked the fact that we were not building something completely new, but taking something old and bringing it back to life.”

Mary Schroy, tour host May/June 2012 Capital-Style.com

What’s Cooking

Mark Becker loves to cook, and Mary Schroy loves to entertain, so the kitchen and connecting great room are great for gatherings. “This is the heart of the house,” Schroy said. “But I think that’s true of everyone’s.”

Becker equipped the kitchen with a commercial range—“Had to have one,” he said—as well as a commercial hood. The room also features bamboo floors, granite counters and a stone backsplash.The table is made of reclaimed wood salvaged during the renovation.The leaf-print chairs were reupholstered by Old World New Home, one of Schroy’s favorite Short North shops.

Freshen Up

Modernizing meant giving each of the home’s three bedrooms a connecting bath. The most luxurious is upstairs in what was once a bedroom. Highlights of this spa-like oasis include travertine countertops, cherry cabinets, Italian ceramic tile and a steam shower. The room maintains history in the windows, which are roughly 160 years old.

“It’s kind of nice to redo something as opposed to building something brand new.” Mark Becker, tour host 116
