The ‘End‘ is Near Treasure trove from private art collector intended to spark discussions By Morgan Schunn

THIS YEAR, AN EXCLUSIVE GROUP OF GALLERIES across

the U.S. have the opportunity to see some of the artwork owned by world-renowned art collector Blake Byrne. Of those, only The Ohio State University Urban Arts Space is fortunate enough to have room to display the exhibition in its entirety. From Aug. 25-Nov. 7, the Urban Arts Space will play host to Open This End: Contemporary Art from the Collection of Blake Byrne. Media appearing in the 77-piece show, curated by Joseph R. Wolin of New York, range from sculptures and paintings to video works. The pieces from Byrne’s private collection represent discussions of important social issues and the evolution of contemporary art style of the past 50 years. The exhibit features work from acclaimed artists such as Andy Warhol, Cindy Sherman and Ed Ruscha. The works were chosen by the curator to present multiple themes, including identity and politics, as evinced by key artists over the last 50 years. True to the nature of contemporary art, the collection includes a diversity of art forms and presentation styles. The exhibit was previously shown at Duke University and will make stops at Columbia University and Lewis and Clark College after visiting the Buckeye State. The collection is being shown for free to the Blake Byrne public as part of Byrne’s way

Not every piece will speak to you, but when it does, listen.

of giving back to the community and sharing his passion for art. “In celebration of his 80th birthday, (Byrne) decided that he wanted to share his artwork with the communities that surround four different universities that are meaningful to his family,” says Valarie Williams, Urban Arts Space executive director. Byrne’s connection to OSU comes from his parents, who both graduated from the university. His father, John Byrne, was also an assistant professor at OSU. “I think one of the most exciting things is the different personal connections that the artwork can bring about in conversations,” says Williams. “I think it’s intensely personal for Blake to share all of his work. It’s a wonderful gift for us to be able to receive.” The personal connections and history the pieces hold are key to the stories they tell. Byrne describes art as a personal conversation. “I think the key thing is, don’t be afraid of contemporary art just because you don’t think you understand it. Try to figure out what you’re looking at and what it means to you,” Byrne says. “Not every piece will speak to you, but when it does, listen. Speak back and have a conversation with the work.” These conversations become a key component of the exhibit through its educational elements. In addition to the display of artwork, the Urban Arts Space will host four panels – including discussions on philan-

thropy, ethics and social issues – throughout the exhibit’s run. “The premise is that art communicates. So the starting point is always the artwork on display, and from those pieces, there are several important conversations to be had,” says Merijn van der Heijden, deputy director of exhibitions and curatorial practices for the Arts Initiative at OSU. The Arts Initiative oversees the Urban Arts Space, as well as several other arts-related endeavors. Gerhard Richter, Farbtafel

An interactive timeline of the pieces of art will be the first thing visitors see as they enter the exhibit. The timeline is designed to help visitors understand the history and connections of the pieces in the collection, as well as provide Byrne’s personal narrative. As a philanthropist, Byrne believes in appreciating and sharing his art with others. Through this exhibit, he hopes to inspire others to collect and encourage collectors to share their works. Learning through art allows us to stay connected to the issues of the time, Byrne says. “I think contemporary art helps one stay young because you see ideas through young artists,” he says. “And I think (staying young) is important for all of us.” The touring Open This End exhibition is sponsored by the Skylark Foundation of Los Angeles. A public reception with Byrne and Wolin will be held Sept. 25 at the space. CS Morgan Schunn is a contributing writer. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com.

Super Sized Major expansion of offerings defines world’s largest Ronald McDonald House

BEING IN THE HOSPITAL IS OFTEN A TRYING EXPERIENCE, and not just for the patient. Loved ones often face big challenges of their own. And now, for those big challenges, there’s the biggest Ronald McDonald House in the world to meet them. The house is there for families of children who face extended stays at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. While the hospital does everything in its power to comfort patients and their families, there isn’t much it can offer to those not directly facing a medical challenge. But the stress and emotional toll of having a young family member in the hospital long-term is something that can be attended to right across the street, where the house acts as a second home for families. The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio’s goal is to work toward improving the health and well-being of children in central Ohio through finding, supporting and creating programs with the aid of the community. The Ronald McDonald House itself is the most prominent symbol of this mission. Most families come from the Columbus area, but because Nationwide Children’s is a national and even international draw, some are from other states and even other countries. Families are asked to pay a $20 donation per night, but no one is ever turned away for financial reasons. The original Ronald McDonald House in Columbus opened in March 1982. In 2008, the building had 80 rooms, making it one of the largest Ronald McDonald Houses in the world. But even with so much space, it was nearly full on a nightly basis. The community donated over $6.5 million in only 10 months to fund an expansion project in

2013. In September 2014, the 57-room expansion was finished. “With a total of 137 guest rooms, the Columbus Ronald McDonald House is the largest in the world,” says Ryan Wilkins, senior director of communications and facilities for the charity. All the comforts of home can be found at the house. Along with rooms to stay in, families have full access to laundry facilities and a kitchen where meals are prepared by volunteers. On top of the normal amenities, there is a myriad of specialty rooms that families can enjoy, including: • A library with several thousand books, all donated by the community; • A media room equipped with free Dish Network access and DVDs to check out; • A room decked out with Columbus Blue Jackets gear, including a Zamboni for kids to ride on; • An exercise room filled with fitness equipment supplied by the Columbus Crew; • A baseball-themed family room sporting couches and TVs; • A spa room outfitted by Thirty-One Gifts, where parents and kids can enjoy primping and pampering during their stay; and

• A “princess room,” furnished by the Lady Jackets, with all the pink princess paraphernalia a child could ask for – costumes and castle included – that’s every girl’s favorite room in the house, Wilkins says. “Sometimes we have families come in, and the first thing they ask is where the princess room is,” he says. Additional amenities were added outside. These include a rooftop garden, an expanded green space with a playground and splash pad, and five single-family houses, turning the area into a six-acre campus dedicated to health and well-being. The single-family homes are for families with specialized needs, such as large family size or a need to stay for longer than six months. The vast majority of the work done at the house is done by volunteers. In a year, more than 300 volunteers work nearly 86,000 hours of work for the Ronald McDonald House. “Word of mouth is our best bet,” says Wilkins. “Volunteers who have worked with us before tend to be our best advocates.” Volunteering isn’t the only way to help out; donations and sponsorship programs are also available. Those looking to assist can find more information at www.rmhccentralohio.org. CS

Making artisan jam is a sweet hobby for these locals By Sarah Sole WHETHER YOU’RE A STRAWBERRY AND GRAPE TRADITIONALIST or you vie for

more distinctive alternatives, there is a plethora of options for fruit spreads. A few local companies are putting their own spin on the classic spread to make artisan jam their bread and butter.

Black Radish Creamery

John Reese can still remember the taste of the strawberry and vanilla preserve he and his wife, Anne, had with camembert cheese while on a Vermont road trip. “It stuck with us,” John says. When the couple moved back to Columbus from New York and got married, their intention was to start making artisan cheese. For their wedding day cheese plate, they knew they needed to try to recreate the cheese-and-jam combination they first sampled back in Vermont. John, who attended culinary school in New York, set to work, and Black Radish Creamery’s “Billionaire” was born: strawberry, rhubarb, Beaujolais wine and organic vanilla bean.

The flavor was a hit; so much so that the New Albany couple decided to make a batch for John’s sister to sell in her Westerville store, Ohio Art Market. In three hours, they sold $400 worth of the product. Inspired by their success, John came up with more recipes that summer. The following year, Black Radish began selling at farmers’ markets. In 2014, one of its products, Mr. Atwood’s Jelly, garnered Where to buy it a Good Food Award • Lucky’s Market in a California com• Weiland’s Market petition, while Bil• Bexley Natural Market lionaire was recog• Hills Markets nized as a finalist. • Market Italian Village “That really start• www.blackradish ed to propel us,” creamery.com John says. This year, the Reeses took home a second Good Food Award with King B, made with black raspberries and vanilla candied lemon zest. Black Radish offers between six to eight flavors at a time, and two to five of those could be rotating special batches. While John is the brains behind the recipes, Anne is the creative strength behind their brand’s image, photographing the products and creating labels, website content and other media. John and Anne both tackle the cooking, which can take between six and eight hours, most of it stirring. They make four different kinds of fruit spreads: jam, which doesn’t have fruit pieces; preserves, which do; jelly, which is made from fruit juice, not pieces; and fruit butter, which is cooked down and thicker in consistency than the other types.

Sweet Thing Gourmet

Kyla Touris remembers helping her mother, of the Depression era generation, can and preserve items from her garden. Touris, of Bexley, never thought she would take up the practice, but years later, in 2003, as a mother reluctant to leave her children and return to work, she turned the hobby into a moneymaker. Touris had a vision of putting a modern spin on her mother’s jam, creating flavors complete with packaging. “That was my main focus,” she says. She also decided to add biscotti, something that took four months of trial and error to perfect. Sweet Thing Gourmet’s jam selection originally had just four flavors: strawberry, peach, strawberry kiwi and ginger peach. The product line has grown considerably since then.

At any given time, Touris offers 10 flavors in her signature line, a collection that changes frequently and is available when she sells at farmers’ markets. Her core line, listed on her website, includes about 35 flavors. Operating out of her home, Touris gets assistance from her husband, Mark, and her sister-in-law to make jam, butter and jelly. Her three children help during market days. Touris and her small crew process their fruit ahead of time. Once they start making their jam, it can take from 45 minutes to an hour per batch. They typically make several batches at a time, and each batch makes about 17 jars of jam. Apple butter is a different story. Touris will work from 7 a.m. to 5 or 6 p.m. to make 30 jars.

Fruit Strength Farm

Sarah Sullivan made her first jar of apricot preserves when she was about 5 years old during a seasonal trip to visit her grandparents, when the apricots were “so ripe, they were falling off the tree,” she says.

pread it August 2015 | www.cityscenecolumbus.com

CUISINE

“By golly, that was a lot of work for a little kid,” Sullivan says. Now she’s been making jam for more than 50 years, and Fruit Strength Farm in Marysville is home to a startling variety of fruits for her butters, preserves, jellies and jams. In addition to her four fruit concentrations, Sullivan offers four sweetness levels for her products. Sullivan’s 15-acre farm includes strawberry, blueberry and rhubarb. While 10

of the acres include brush and weed trees, they’re also home to wild fruits including mulberry, black raspberry, blue grape, elderberry, pear trees, apple trees, blackberry and crabapple. She’s working with the Natural Resource Conservation Service and applying for grant money to help deal with surface water, to ensure that the land can properly drain. “The virgin prairie is all highly erodible land,” she says.

Sullivan hopes to add to her eclectic fruit collection, and she plans to plant gooseberry, currant, honey berry, sea berry and june berry once she clears land. This year, Sullivan is also planting stone fruits including plum, peach, apricot and sour and sweet cherries. Since it takes her four pounds of fruit to make a single batch of preserves, the trees will have to grow a few years until they can be used for harvesting. For her part, Sullivan says she enjoys harvesting her fruit on her chemical-free, virgin prairie acreage. “Since these fruits are more fragile than grocery store varieties, often the cost-effective way to bring them to market is in the form of spreads,” she says.

Looking forward to the 2015-16 performing arts season in central Ohio By Garth Bishop AS FALL DRAWS NEARER, ANTICIPATION IS ALWAYS HIGH for the beginning of the forthcoming

performing arts season. We took a look at some of the shows on the 2015-16 calendar to see which ones will be standouts in an impressive line-up.

PREVIEW

What’s PromoWest Productions presents Twenty One Pilots

Twenty One Pilots

Sept. 18 Lifestyle Communities Pavilion Among the big-name alternative music acts to play the LC this fall is Twenty One Pilots, the two-man indie pop band that hails from central Ohio. The band is playing in support of its 2015 album Blurryface, from which “Fairly Local,” “Tear in My Heart” and “Stressed Out” have hit radio. Other alternative acts in September include Death Cab for Cutie Sept. 19 and Of Monsters and Men Sept. 28, both presented by CD102.5.

Death Cab for Cutie

Broadway Across America presents Kinky Boots

Oct. 6-11 Ohio Theatre Not only does Kinky Boots have star power – actor Harvey Fierstein wrote the book, and pop singer Cyndi Lauper (“Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” “Time After Time”) wrote the music – it also has six Tony Awards to its name, including Best Musical. The musical is the story of a struggling shoe factory owner who revitalizes his business when he partners with a drag queen to design sturdy high-heeled boots for her colleagues. “At the beginning, they think they’re totally different, and then they realize they have more in common than they ever thought they would,” says Lisa Minken, marketing manager for CAPA, which oversees Broadway in Columbus. 14

CATCO presents The Elephant Man

Oct. 21-Nov. 8 Studio Two Theatre, Riffe Center Before it was a movie starring John Hurt in extensive make-up, the story of John Merrick was a play that takes a different approach in its message about judging others based on their appearance. Instead of heavy make-up, Merrick’s deformities are conveyed through his movement, and everything is tied together by the music played by a single cellist. “The production is much more about the theatricality of the story and being able to imagine the human condition of this person,” says CATCO Producing Director Steven Anderson.

Shadowbox Live presents Tenshu Monogatari

Oct. 7-25 Shadowbox Live Kabuki theater loaded with Asian influences, from anime styling to martial arts battles, is the newest endeavor on the part of Shadowbox Live. To tell the story – a Japanese folk tale that revolves around groups of samurai and a castle haunted by female ghosts – Shadowbox will transform its theater, including rice-paper screens with puppet windows, balconies for the musicians and a traditional hanamichi stage ramp for entrances and exits. “It’ll be larger than life. It’ll have lots of extraordinary action, and it’ll have lots of very modern music,” says Shadowbox Executive Producer and CEO Stev Guyer.

CAPA presents The Princess Bride: An Inconceivable Evening with Cary Elwes

Oct. 25 Palace Theatre A screening of the hugely popular 1987 film The Princess Bride precedes a Q&A with star Cary Elwes. Even the biggest fan of the movie will have the opportunity to learn more than he or she ever dreamed of knowing about it and how it maintains its enormous following almost 30 years after its release. “If you’re a fan of the film, this is huge. … Cary’s got some great insight,” says Rich Corsi, director of programming for CAPA.

Wexner Center presents Kneebody + Daedelus

Nov. 6 Wexner Center for the Arts Jazz is a bigger part of the Wexner Center’s programming this year than usual, and this show will be among the more innovative shows on the line-up, combining the jazz music of Kneebody with the electronic

sound of Daedelus. A similar show in October 2013 – Mehliana, a collaboration between Brad Mehldau and Mark Guiliana – drew significant interest, so when center Director of Performing Arts Chuck Helm saw Kneebody + Daedelus perform in New York, he knew the sound would appeal to fans of jazz and electronic music. “It’s almost like a live remix,” Helm says.

Charlie Murphy

Funny Bone presents Stephen Rannazzisi

Nov. 5-7 Columbus Funny Bone Stephen Rannazzisi, known to fans of FXX’s The League as Kevin MacArthur, will bring his comedy – “He’s a storyteller; basically life experiences,” says General Manager Dave Stroupe – to the Funny Bone this fall. Visitors will have the opportunity to see Rannazzisi in the club’s new showroom, which opened in June and is far larger than its predecessor, offering a new balcony and a much bigger bar in the lobby. Another highlight of the fall season is Charlie Murphy, brother of Eddie Murphy and another storyteller known for his appearances on Chappelle’s Show relating his experiences with Rick James and Prince.

McConnell Center presents Hard Day’s Night

Nov. 12 McConnell Arts Center There are plenty of Beatles tribute bands out there, but Hard Day’s Night goes well beyond the stereotypical route of playing the Fab Four’s songs while wearing the types of clothes the band donned over the years. The quartet has played the McConnell once before, last year, and the show sold out well in advance, with many of those who failed to buy tickets hanging out in the lobby to listen. “One of the things that makes them stand out (is) these guys are really genuine and authentic in the way they play their music,” says McConnell Executive Director Jon Cook.

BalletMet presents Carmen.maquia

Feb. 5-14 Capitol Theatre, Riffe Center Carmen is best known as an opera, but this modernized ballet version by Gustavo Ramirez Sarsano will captivate audiences with a unique, minimal approach to movement, says BalletMet Artistic Director Edwaard Liang. Liang has wanted to bring Sarsano’s work to Columbus since he began negotiations for the artistic director position almost three years ago, and has seen Carmen.maquia performed in Chicago, so he knew it was a good show to introduce Sarsano. “I’m really excited to show a different perspective and such a modern take on Carmen. I think it’s going to be riveting,” Liang says. Vadim Gluzman

ProMusica presents Vivaldi’s Four Seasons

Dec. 12-13 Worthington United Methodist Church, Southern Theatre December is often a time for familiar music, and that’s what ProMusica intends to offer with its performance of Vivaldi’s renowned Four Seasons, complete with the sonnets originally written to accompany the music. “We are mindful of being able to offer some favorites or pieces that are familiar, because it is that time of year when families want to go to things together,” says ProMusica Executive Director Janet Chen. Vadim Gluzman, principal guest artist for ProMusica, will pull double duty, playing first violin and also serving as a soloist – all under the pressure of performing without a conductor and thus having to take a larger leadership role.

Columbus Symphony Orchestra presents The Spy Who Loved Me

Jan. 16 Ohio Theatre The music of spy films – including the James Bond, Mission: Impossible, Get Smart and Austin Powers franchises – comes alive in this new show for the symphony’s pops series. To top it off, the show will feature as guest vocalist 1980s pop star Sheena Easton (“Strut,” “Modern Girls,” “9 to 5”), who sang the eponymous theme song for 1981 Bond film For Your Eyes Only. “We’ve been trying to get Sheena Easton very creative with symphony shows. … The opportunity to play this with the Columbus Symphony is just an awesome opportunity,” says Corsi of CAPA, which oversees the symphony.

Columbus Jazz Orchestra presents Sammy, Dean, & a Little Bit of Frank

Feb. 4-8 Southern Theatre The Columbus Jazz Orchestra’s 100 Years of Frank Sinatra in February broke ticket sales records, so it made sense to bring back the Rat Pack sound, featuring vocalist John Fredo doing the Sinatra and Dean Martin parts, and tap dancer Ted Louis Levy to channel the spirit of Sammy Davis Jr. “When you saw the Rat Pack, you really felt that life was a party, and I think that’s how we all want Ted Louis Levy to live, secretly. … We’re not going to do impressions, we just want to catch the spirit,” says orchestra Artistic Director Byron Stripling. Also on the orchestra’s calendar is Redefining Tradition: Ellington, Basie, and Beyond, which will be simulcast and feature the world premiere of a tribute to frequent CJO guest Clark Terry.

New Albany Symphony Orchestra presents Peter and the Wolf

Feb. 7 Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts Children are the clear target of this show, which also includes a performance of Ferdinand the Bull. It will feature Columbus Dance Theatre dancers and narration by NBC-4’s Jym Ganahl, and on the day prior to the main performance, the orchestra will put on a sensoryfriendly show for children who cannot sit still through an entire orchestral performance. “I think adding a visual element – especially for the kids, and even for the adults – keeps their attention. It’s always nice to see and hear,” says orchestra Executive Director Heather Garner. August 2015 | www.cityscenecolumbus.com

McCoy Center presents ABBA the Concert

Opera Columbus presents La Bohème

March 2-6 Southern Theatre While Johnathan Larson’s Rent took La Bohème and turned the setting into New York at the center of America’s HIV/AIDS crisis, this production of the Paris-set opera classic moves the story to post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans. Director Stephanie Hevey took risks by moving the setting and casting younger talents, but they’ll pay off in a great sound and story, says Opera Columbus Artistic Director Peggy Kriha Dye, who made her opera debut in La Bohème years ago. “It’s obviously relevant to today, but the setting our director is putting it in makes everybody understand this is a completely universal story,” says Dye.

May 15 Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts The McCoy Center worked with the New Albany Symphony Orchestra for last year’s Mary Chapin Carpenter show, and will collaborate with the orchestra again for this concert featuring one of the world’s top ABBA tribute groups. ABBA the Concert has played with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra before, but that show was at the Ohio Theatre, and the McCoy Center offers a wholly different musical experience. “They’ll do all the major hits from ABBA, which is a ton,” says Corsi of CAPA, which also oversees operations for the McCoy.

REMODELING

Special

By Garth Bishop

f you have the itch to remodel – and we all do, from time to time – a fun way to figure out what you want is to examine other projects. We took a look at some recent remodeling jobs in central Ohio that we hope will inspire as well as impress.

Landscape This Sunbury outdoor living space and structure was put together by Peabody Landscape Group of west Columbus. The porch and gazebo, with columns and stone designed to blend in with the architecture of the house, are constructed to allow unfettered enjoyment of the backyard landscaping in any weather. For privacy purposes, they’re close to or below grade, and flora include spruce, lilac hedges, boxwoods and flowing maiden grasses. Birch trees, salvia, daylilies, sedum, rockcress, lavender and more fill out the plant life. Lights illuminate paths, intersecting areas and annual color areas, and are controlled separately via a Leviton controller. Among the gazebo highlights are a round bar and seat walls, a built-in grill area, a mounting for an outdoor TV, a fire pit and a cooling system.

century. The outdoor patio space and garden were designed with history in mind, ensuring the look is congruent with that of the rest of the home by incorporating the original brick into the modern bluestone.

and exits disrupting the flow of traffic. The foliage consists mainly of low-maintenance plantings, allowing for impressive landscaping and privacy with a minimum of fuss. www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

In-siding Information While a lot of glamorous outdoor work focuses on landscaping and freestanding structures, it’s also important to ensure the exterior of the house is in beautiful condition. Siding and trim have to be part of that conversation, and among the most effective types of siding is the kind that interlocks to prevent air and moisture penetration. Celect Cellular Exteriors by Royal Building Products specializes in this type of trim and siding, utilizing an interlocking joint system to almost entirely eliminate seams and a gravitylock design that keeps pieces fitted tightly together. Its Kynar Aquatec coating is designed to resist such wear and tear as cracking and flaking, and to fight off mold, mildew, water and more. Most designs – including the new 4” Clapboard, 8” Board & Batten and 7” Shake profiles – replicate the beauty and aesthetics of wood while resisting the elements.

An addition to an Upper Arlington home turned a tiny bathroom into a much larger and more impressive one in this project by Dave Fox Design Build Remodelers of northwest Columbus. One of the most eye-catching aspects of the new bathroom is the walk-in shower, with multiple functions and a seat, which replaces an exceedingly small predecessor in which there was barely room to turn around. The pink tile has been replaced with herringbone tile on the floor and Marvel tile going midway up the walls. The window is centered over the freestanding tub opposite the two sinks, which accompany storage cabinets and outlets next to the vanities. The sinks replace a small wall-hung sink with no storage. The space that was once the entire bathroom now houses only the toilet. The addition replaced a deteriorating and seldom-used screened porch, with the first-floor space now a sunroom and the second-story master bath being entirely new. www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

kitchen A small space prone to clutter became this impressive Shaker-style kitchen in northwest Columbus, remodeled by Kresge Contracting Inc. of north Columbus. Previously, a wall with a door separated the kitchen from a hallway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a priority for removal, as hallways in the greater living area have fallen out of fashion. A wealth of cabinet space allows the family of four plenty of room to store items that before would have encountered great difficulty finding a home. New stainless steel appliances and improved lighting make the room more welcoming. And where a long counter once wrapped around, making ingress and egress difficult, a marble-topped kitchen island with a double sink makes access decidedly easier. Before, only the walled-off hallway had hardwood flooring, but now, both the expanded kitchen and attached dining room do. Garth Bishop is managing editor.

Thinking ‘Outside’ the Box Westerville-based Feazel Inc. offers tips on exterior design Roofing: The most important decision a homeowner will make when updating his or her roofing system is choosing a contractor. It is of the utmost importance that the contractor you choose is fully vetted. The four key things to check for are: 1) Whether they are licensed, insured and bonded with an A+ rating with the BBB; 2) Whether they have longevity in the industry with a consistent, positive reputation in your community; 3) Whether they are certified by the manufacturer to install the roofing system you choose; and 4) Whether they offer a warranty on their labor and craftsmanship. If a contractor you are considering answers “no” to any one of these, you should find someone else. –Ross Appeldorn, CEO Windows: When looking to update windows in your home, pay close attention to the following window qualities. They should have: 1) Insulated glass (dual pane) for better heating/cooling efficiency; 2) A constant force balance system for ease of use and longer lasting windows; 3) Interlocking meeting rails for added security and seal efficiency; and 4) Low-E coatings and argon gas filling to reduce ultraviolet

light penetration and slow down heat transfer. – Steve Wilson, Residential Project Manager Chimneys: When it comes to chimneys, preventative maintenance is always better than waiting for a repair to become necessary. Routine inspections should be conducted every year or two. While inspecting, pay close attention to the flashing where the chimney meets the roof line. If you have a brick or stone chimney, reapply a waterproof coating at this time. Simple preventative maintenance will save you loads of time, hassle and money. –Nick Warmath, VP of Commercial Operations Gutters: There are many different styles and materials to choose from when it comes to gutters. However, the most important component to any gutter system is the anchor system. Feazel recommends using only screw-type hidden hangers that screw into your fascia board at an angle. Never use spikes. Screwing the anchor system in at an angle adds a significant amount of strength to your gutters, virtually eliminating the likelihood of your gutters coming loose during inclement weather and heavy snowfall. –Matt Sherry, Residential Sales Manager

The right tub can transform a bathroom By Sarah Sole

hile the shower is used for a quick wash, the bathtub has always symbolized a bit more in the modern bathroom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a cleansing of both the body and mind. The two-in-one shower-tub serves a practical purpose, certainly, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something uniquely inviting about the stand-alone bathtub. Along with creating a spa-like environment, it is a focal piece of architecture in and of itself. It can make a room look more modern, luxurious or rustic depending upon the style. We rounded up a handful of bathing options sure to transform a mundane routine into an enjoyable ritual. Sarah Sole is an editor. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com.

I have been involved in road races for many years, having run my first marathon in 1970. Races have grown in popularity and evolved since those early days. Timing technology, registration procedures, course safety guidelines and participant giveaways have changed dramatically, along with the development of sophisticated athletic gear. I have experienced my share of races that became redundant in approach and practice. Participation decreased, and many of these races eventually folded. While a number of races today are popular because they are “gimmicky,” my experiences clearly indicate they will not be around in the years to come. Reinvention and evaluation of practices by race directors is imperative for sustainability. The New Albany Walking Classic is unique and not replete with gimmicks. It is an athletic event with the same goals of any serious running race, albeit with only walking permitted. • We continue to evolve in ways that will benefit participants and have implemented strategies to enhance this year’s Walk. • We have increased our registration capacity to 4,000. This is an increase of 500 over last year’s capacity and 1,000 over 2013’s. This year’s Walk will be our largest. • In response to feedback regarding crowding, we have added a competitors’ division to ease traffic flow. • Our post-race event, this year with music, will be moved to the area in front of the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany to accommodate our increased number of food vendors. Finally, this year’s jacket might just be our very best. In addition to the fashionable design, a great deal of emphasis was placed on fit. These are just a handful of the ways in which we are constantly evolving to provide you with a great experience. See you at the start.

Achilles Tendinosis The Problem: Pain and swelling develop in the Achilles tendon near its insertion on the calcaneus (heel bone). Repetitive use may lead to degeneration, fraying and inflammation of the tendon. Excessive hill or stair training can put you at risk for Achilles tendinosis. The Treatment: Proper shoe fit is very important. Ice and foam rolling can help to alleviate symptoms. Stretching and strengthening the calf muscles is very important. Some people find relief with night splints.

strengthening the affected thigh and hip muscles is usually the definitive treatment.

Stretch to Prevent: Hamstring stretch

ITB Syndrome The Problem: Pain that occurs on the outside of the knee as the iliotibial band rubs on the outside of the thigh bone. Tightness in the iliotibial band combined with weakness in the hip muscles lead to the problem. Wearing improper shoes, working out on banked or even surfaces, and excessive hill training can contribute to the problem. The Treatment: Proper shoe fit is very important. Ice and foam rolling can help to alleviate symptoms. Stretching and strengthening the affected muscles groups is usually the definitive treatment.

Stretch to Prevent: Gastrocnemius stretch

Patellofemoral Syndrome The Problem: Pain on the front of the knee exacerbated by going down stairs, kneeling, squatting and lunging. An imbalance in the quadriceps muscles or tightness in the hamstring muscles leads to abnormal tracking of the knee cap through the groove at the end of the femur (thigh bone).

Piriformis Syndrome The Problem: Pain in the buttock region with walking and sitting. The piriformis muscle is an important stabilizing muscle of the hip. Tightness or weakness of the hip muscles may lead to dysfunction within the piriformis. Individuals may experience pain radiating down the back of the leg due to the resulting inflammation of the sciatic nerve. The Treatment: Ice and foam rolling can help to alleviate symptoms. Stretching and strengthening the affected hip muscles is usually the definitive treatment.

Stretch to Prevent: Piriformis stretch

Plantar Fasciitis The Problem: Pain that occurs at the base of your arch. Classically, symptoms are worst with the first few steps upon awakening. Tightness in the calf and heel cords leads to degeneration and inflammation of the plantar fascia at its attachment to the calcaneus (heel bone). Improper shoes can put you at risk for plantar fasciitis. The Treatment: Proper shoe fit is very important. Stretching the calf muscles is also important. Some people find relief with night splints and/or orthotics.

On the Right Path

How to identify and care for common walking injuries By Dr. Michael Jonesco

Walking is a wonderful means of aerobic exercise. Though it is less efficient than more vigorous forms of exercise, it shares nearly all their benefits. Additionally, walking has a significantly lower injury risk. That said, no physical activity is completely risk-free. Below are a few common sources of pain many walkers endure and some tips for how to handle them.

It is often frustrating to patients I see because the pain is hard to put a finger on and can change in character and location. The pain may occur with exercise, but often is at its worst once the body stops to rest. Sitting for a prolonged period or other prolonged positions can aggravate the knee and cause extreme stiffness when walkers return to activity. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories are again helpful. Bracing or even orthotics can help align your body to lessen the stress transferred to the knee. However, strengthening exercises directed at your quadriceps and hips may be the best way to prevent the pain from returning.

Lorrie McCarty

As the largest walking-only race in the U.S., the New Albany Walking Classic draws thousands of walkers each year, many with interesting stories. Among those whose stories stand out are central Ohio residents Brian Zuk and Lorrie McCarty.

Brian Zuk

Zuk, a New Albany resident, is an active member of the New Albany Walking Club who participates in walking races all over the country, including the Walking Classic. Participating in the club has had an incredibly positive impact on Zuk’s life, allowing him to stop taking several medications he was prescribed. “I have saved literally thousands of dollars in prescription costs,” he says. But it isn’t just his health that has seen the positive influence of the Walking Club. “Walking, especially with such a great group of friends, has done wonders for my

McCarty, of Dublin, has been walking for years, and when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, it was the only way she was able to stay active during treatment. “During my treatment, walking was the one thing that I could always do almost every day,” she says. “Keeping active during treatment was extremely important.” For McCarty, the Walking Classic became something to work toward when her cancer went into remission. “I made the NAWC my goal after completing chemotherapy,” says McCarty. “I had about 10 girlfriends who walked it with me that year, and it was a great sense of accomplishment.” Staying active is very important to McCarty. “Living a healthy, active lifestyle is extremely important to me and anyone whose lives have been touched by cancer or any other illness,” she says. “My motivation to stay healthy is for myself. I want to be the best version of me that I can be.” Athnie McMillan-Comeaux is a contributing writer. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com.

Hard Walk

Walking Classic is a popular draw for competitive racewalkers By Sarah Sole Cindy Wildman

Walking is serious business for some of the New Albany Walking Classic participants. Each year, the Walking Classic draws a variety of competitive racewalkers from central Ohio and beyond. We took a closer look at how two of them got introduced to the sport, and how they make sure their bodies are up to the challenge.

Cindy Wildman

Racewalking since: 2009 Cleveland resident Cindy Wildman started training as a racewalker when she decided she wanted to complete the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon on her birthday in May 2009. “It was challenging training in the winter months in Cleveland, but so very rewarding to know I was going to complete a marathon,” Wildman says.

Though her father suffered a stroke that April, Wildman continued to find time to train when she wasn’t spending time with him. A week before the marathon, her father died. “I was actually going to not compete but, knowing my dad, he would have been kicking me all the way to start line,” she says. More races followed after her emotional first one. Wildman joined the New Albany Walking Club in July 2009 after a fellow racewalker suggested she check out the group. She still visits Columbus monthly to participate in walks. In September 2009, Wildman participated in her first New Albany Walking Classic. Wildman’s fitness routine includes swimming three times per week and cycling. She has also competed in different sprint triathlons in the past few years. “Racewalking has given me strength, hope and so much happiness,” Wildman says.

Stephanie Ladson-Wofford

Racewalking since: 2011 Dr. Stephanie Ladson-Wofford, a physician and New Albany resident, became interested in competitive racewalking after one of her patients told her he was going to walk in the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon. Since participating in that first half marathon in 2011, Ladson-Wofford

Stephanie Ladson-Wofford

has walked in 12 half marathons. She’s also a member of the New Albany Walking Club and the newly formed German Village Walking Club. “It’s given me a nice thing to do, as far as goals,” Ladson-Wofford says. Ladson placed third in the Walking Classic’s women’s 50-59 division in 2013 and 2014, and she received the third place female overall award in the competitive walkers’ division for the 2014 half marathon distance in the Columbus Marathon. While she doesn’t run, Ladson-Wofford’s cross training includes weightlifting and strength training. She works with a trainer three days a week, working one-on-one two days per week and participating in a group session once weekly. She exercises five or six days per week, doing a combination of cardio and strength activities. She says her efforts have helped her walking by building muscle and bone strength.

Going to the Dogs

Canine companions will be part of Walking Classic cheering section By Sarah Sole This year’s cheering section for the New Albany Walking Classic will include some of man’s best friends. Canine Companions for Independence will have a cheering station along the course that will include puppies and dogs in professional training. “This is a great way for us to get to know the community and celebrate the hard work and training of the participants,” says Megan Koester, executive director of the organization’s North Central Region. Canine Companions provides highly trained assistance dogs for those with disabilities. Headquartered in California, the organization is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Six training centers are in the U.S.; the North Central Region includes 14 states across the Midwest.

Southern-Fried Soul

Music, mountains and art are the main attractions in the “Paris of the South” By Hannah Bealer

SNUGGLED BETWEEN THE BLUE RIDGE AND GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS, Asheville, N.C. is a popular destination for those searching for scenic views, a thriving culinary scene and a chance to immerse oneself in an explosive artistic community. With roughly a three-hour flight or seven-hour drive south, the Hunger Games filming location and city of 83,000-plus makes an ideal trip for an extended weekend with a significant other or the entire family.

Buskers

Street musicians and other performers are a common sight in downtown Asheville. No permits are required, so tourists are exposed to some of the more organic sounds of the city’s music scene, while amateur artists get the chance to share their craft in the bustling downtown area. For a special treat, visit the Flat Iron statue or Park Square, where bands such as Two Dollar Bill and 13 Strings are known to play.

Live Entertainment

Live music is a staple in Asheville. Shindig Under the Stars, one of the more popular summer festivals, entertains attendees every Saturday evening, from June through August, with traditional Southern Appalachian music and folk dancing. The city is also home to the nation’s longest-running folk festival. Every year since 1928, on the first weekend of August, musicians from all over visit Asheville for the Mountain Dance and Folk Festival. For a little taste of Ireland, the downtown Celtic pub Jack of the Wood offers live music opportunities multiple times a week. From unplugged traditional Irish music to line-ups featuring some of the city’s top bluegrass artists, there’s always something special on the pub’s weekly calendar.

Art

At the start of 1985, warehouses and historical buildings along the French Broad River began to transform into today’s River Arts District. 52

www.cityscenecolumbus.com | August 2015

River Arts District

Area artists use more than 180 studios as showrooms, galleries and workshops. The artists dabble in everything from clay and ceramics to mixed media and photography. The Flood Gallery Fine Arts Center is also found in the River Arts District. The contemporary art institution has hosted an Art deco architecture, built in the late 1920s and early 1930s, is prevalent in downtown Asheville.

The taco selection is endless, affordable and crafted with Americanmade products. 12 Bones Smokehouse, 5 Riverside Dr. – Everything here is made from scratch and value is placed on simple ingredients. If you like what you taste, there’s even a cookbook available for purchase. The Junction, 348 Depot St. #190 – This first full-service restaurant in the district promises a fine-dining experience, along with the occasional art opening. The Wedge Brewing Company, 37 Paynes Way – A 19th century warehouse sets the mood for this establishment. Try a beer on tap or step outside to grab a bite at one of the surrounding food trucks.

Unique Eats

Asheville is certainly home to some of the nation’s best Southern cooking, but it offers quite a bit more. Jerusalem Garden Café, 78 Patton Ave. – Would you like some live music and belly dancing with your pistachio-crusted lamb chops? Fabric-draped ceilings and floor seating transform Asheville into a Middle Eastern destination. Lex 18, 18 N. Lexington Ave. – Known for its Southern Appalachian cuisine and regarded as one of the more cozy and intimate bar/restaurant combos in Asheville, Lex 18 – known as Eureka Saloon from 1907-1922 – was also a frequent stop for W.O. Wolfe, father of American novelist Thomas Wolfe. It’s even featured in his novel, Look Homeward Angel. Isis Restaurant & Music Hall, 743 Haywood Rd. – This restaurant – which, though named for an Egyptian goddess, serves New American cuisine – doubles as a live music venue. As a revamped movie theater from 1937, the space is fit for both standing and dinner shows, with the goal of exposing artists who have not yet received national attention.

The park has set the scene for several films, including Daniel Day-Lewis’ The Last of the Mohicans. If you bring along a bathing suit and don’t mind driving outside of the city for an hour, give or take, Sliding Rock is worth a visit. At the natural waterslide, you can safely slide down 60 feet of rock and into an awaiting pool. Things to see at Chimney Rock State Park Devil’s Head – This rock resembles the profile of someone’s face. The Chimney – The monolith overlooks 75 miles of land.

From Current Presidents to Contemporary Presence There’s not much photographer David Charlowe hasn’t shot in his lengthy career By Corinne Murphy

“

My photographs read more like an absract painting.

”

AFTER YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHING EVERYONE WHO’S ANYONE, from Muhammad Ali to the Clintons, David Charlowe takes on new challenges to move his artwork from traditional photography to unconventional, abstract images of natural surroundings. Living in Columbus, Charlowe has been an artist and photographer for over 30 years. He has worked with many celebrities and politicians, as well as major corporations, associations, nonprofit and government agencies. “I always had an interest in art, starting from when I was a kid,” Charlowe says. “My dad painted, and he used to make me watch Learn to Draw with Jon Gnagy, so I would always draw on Saturdays.” A New York native, Charlowe studied art at the University of Buffalo. Though he majored in art, after working as a photographer in college, he was hooked. His work shifted toward the professional field when he opened photography studios in two renowned hotels in Miami Beach, Fla. – Fontainebleau and Eden Roc – which gave him the chance to photograph a whole slew of famous people. He had the chance to work with celebrities such as Muhammad Ali and Ann-Margret, as well as sports teams such as the Miami Dolphins. He moved to Ohio in the mid-1980s and opened a photography business, Picture America, in Columbus. Here, Charlowe found the same niche in working with famous people, this time snapping pictures of prominent politicians such as John Glenn, Newt Gingrich, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Bill and Hillary Clinton. If there was an event that warranted high administration to be present, “it was a pretty good bet that we were there to photograph the VIPs,” Char-

lowe says. “I wasn’t a famous photographer, but I photographed a lot of famous people.” Later in the 1980s, Charlowe was the first to put a studio in the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, and as he photographed zoo patrons, his business started the trend of keeping a photograph souvenir to remember the experience. The popular, customary souvenir keychains with photos that many people associate with zoo-going exist because of his work, he says. Charlowe even branched out into painting in the 1990s, but his main focus remains his photography. His recent works capture natural surroundings in an unconventional way, using his experienced, sharp eye for composition and color to achieve a simplified yet sophisticated style. “I photograph real subjects, but I don’t try to document a time and place from a conventional standpoint,” he says. “I try to do a close-up view, and they take on a look of their own, as opposed to what the actual subject may have been.” His close-up, stand-alone shots of water, open spaces and even walls evoke an un-

photography, in my artwork now, I try to make them look more abstract.” He was the first photographer to have his work featured at Art Access Gallery in Bexley – the result, he says, of his piece, a series of horses, reading more like a painting than a photograph. His inspiration can be drawn from his walks along the beaches of South Florida, where the tide had revealed distressed and eroded seawalls, which contrasted with the fabulous, manicured mansions on the beach. His recent series, Exposed, was born from these walks.

Each image in Exposed reveals a moment in history, a journey through time. The colors – pinks, terracottas, bright yellows – and the scars and markings in the walls are decades old, exposing a complex history of construction and destruction. Charlowe was also recently half of a two-man show at Marcia Evans Gallery in the Short North. Also, in a recent juried show in Palm Beach, he was one of 18 to be selected for the Palm Beach County Arts Council for Art in Public Places. The piece, a water scene, is on display at the Palm Beach International Airport. Charlowe is a past board member of ROY G BIV Gallery, a nonprofit gallery for emerging artists. His work can be seen by appointment at his private home in Columbus when he is not at his studio in Florida. CS Corinne Murphy is a contributing writer.

inhibited, untamed emotion. His finished work is large-scale, with some as much as 8 feet long, so they have a palpable, staggering presence when viewed in person. “Most of my photographs read more like an abstract painting than a documentation style of photograph,” Charlowe says. “Since I’ve already done conventional

“It would look like a third world country where the beach is eroded, even in wealthy areas,” says Charlowe. “The seawall was exposed, and there were washed-away stairs and deck areas. And there was this exposed, rotted wall space. But there was a certain beauty in the rusted-out colors.”

CRITIQUE With Michael McEwan

The Painter’s Eye

Featuring Two Sisters, Valencia by Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida. Two Sisters, Valencia, 1909. The Art Institute of Chicago. Gift of Mrs. William Stanley North in memory of William Stanley North.

“I HATE DARKNESS. Claude Monet once said

that painting in general did not have light enough in it. I agree with him. We painters, however, can never reproduce sunlight as it really is. I can only approach the truth of it.” –Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida Just before you leave the Impressionist galleries at the Art Institute of Chicago – right next to the doorway, in fact – this very large painting will likely stop you in your tracks. Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida (1863-1923) was one of Spain’s most celebrated painters. And it was the paintings of sun-drenched beaches such as this work that made him an international sensation in the early 1900s. In 1909, his New York exhibition of 360-plus oils drew a record breaking crowd of 160,000 visitors. That exhibit moved on to Chicago, and it’s a good bet this painting was acquired at that time. Only in recent years has Sorolla regained some of his previous acclaim. Lush, exuberant use of paint, applied with speed and bravura, was Sorolla’s hallmark. Yet his early rigorous academic training underlies the seemingly effortless and instantaneous treatment of light. He and painters like him, such as John Singer Sargent and Sweden’s Anders Zorn, took the color ideas of Impressionism and grafted them to the more realist ideas of solid drawing. Sorolla would do small studies before painting the large works from life, using a heavy support system and assistants to keep the wind from blowing the canvas away. This dynamic worker produced a huge quantity of work in his lifetime. His home in Madrid is now a museum. Visit if you ever get the chance. CS Nationally renowned local artist Michael McEwan teaches painting and drawing classes at his Clintonville area studio.
