While many agents throw a home on the MLS and “hope” it sells, we’ve designed a plan to generate maximum exposure, build buyer excitement and help you sell for the most money possible!

We start selling a home weeks before it’s put up for sale. Strategies include sending private messages to other agents, making them aware a desirable home will be coming soon. And we work with other agents to get qualified buyers in for a sneak peak before the home is offered for sale. (Buyers love this and often pay more for fear of losing it when it’s offered to the general public).

Our marketing is designed to create a rush of buyer interest and maximize seller profits.

Who are Dublin’s “senior citizens?”

page 16 This year, Dublin Life has explored the lives and stories of several of the City’s oldest residents through our Storyteller series. In this issue, we go a bit deeper with a look at how Dublin’s vibrant seniors stay active in the community through volunteer work. Also, we go inside The Grand, one of Dublin’s newest senior living communities.

Dublin businesses are also home to some furry friends, from D’Art, the Dublin Arts Council’s gallery cat, to Chelsea Borough Home’s resident dogs. For our pet issue, we look at the ways pets improve local businesses and create positive workspaces.

We’ll see you for the next issue!

Sláinte, Kathleen K. Gill President/CEO CityScene Media Group

Sandra Puskarcik, ABC Director of Community Relations City of Dublin

In this issue of Dublin Life, you will find several articles geared toward the senior population. But what qualifies an individual as being a “senior citizen?” Age 55 and older? Age 65 and older? Being retired?

The definition of “senior citizen” has certainly changed since the phrase was initially used. If you research the history of the phrase, you will find it was first used in the 1930s. In 1938, several U.S. newspapers reported about a proposed amendment to the California state constitution that would “pay $30 a week for life in state script to every ‘senior’ citizen, man or woman, 50 years of age or over.”

I don’t know about you, but I think age 50 seems a little young to be considered a senior citizen. Perhaps age 50 was an accurate description of the senior population back then, considering the average life expectancy in the U.S. at the time was only around 63 years old. Today, the average life expectancy in the States is nearly 79 years old. That is a big difference.

Now that we Americans are living longer, we are also working longer and staying active longer. That is especially true of the baby-boom generation – those born from 1946 to 1964.

Baby boomers don’t want to view themselves as “senior citizens,” let alone “elderly.” Boomers don’t feel like seniors and consider themselves active and young. The City of Dublin is committed to providing recreation and leisure opportunities, along with social services, for this growing population.

We have conducted surveys of our residents in the babyboomer generation and beyond, and have found they want to be engaged in the community and participating in programs.

That is why we offer opportunities through the Dublin Community Recreation Center such as golf leagues, Wii bowling, yoga, Tai Chi, functional fitness, small group fitness, line dancing, birding and hiking. We have also started offering technology-related programs such as computer club, and iPad and iPhone basics. For more information on any of these programs, you can call the DCRC at 614-410-4550 or head to the City’s website at DublinOhioUSA.gov.

It’s no secret that our seniors also care deeply about our community. That is evident in the amount of volunteer work this segment of the population undertakes every year. I encourage you to read the article in this issue that highlights just a few of the ways in which older Dublin residents are giving back to their hometown.

It takes the contributions of all residents to make a community great. Fortunately for us, that’s exactly what we have in Dublin – a community rich with active and engaged residents, both young and young at heart. No label like “senior citizen” will ever stop us from being that way.

Sincerely, Dana McDaniel, City Manager

Serving a Community Former law director Stephen Smith is passionate about Dublin 10 • October/November 2016

www.dublinlifemagazine.com

S

tephen J. Smith, Sr. calls his relationship with Dublin a “love affair,” one that started 38 years ago in 1978 when he accepted the job – then called village attorney – with Frost Brown Todd LLC. Though Smith and his wife, Shelley, lived in Grove City for another 16 years due to obligations with children, he became an active member of the Dublin community as soon as he took the job.

Smith recently decided to begin stepping away from his position as law director for the City of Dublin. His job has afforded him the opportunity to help and watch Dublin change throughout the years, and he and Shelley are candid about their feelings for the City.

“We fell in love with Dublin right away,” says Smith.

And after the couple moved to Dublin 22 years ago, there was never a question to leave.

“I believe that this is absolutely the best place in the Midwest to live; not just in Ohio,” says Smith. “I’ve probably represented 100 different cities in my career and seen everything, and Dublin is off the charts.”

Smith is outspoken about the quality of life in Dublin as well as the planning that has enabled Dublin to be a successful city, which includes the relationship between the City and all of its parts.

“Even though the City is separate from the schools, they have a great relationship. They have a great relationship with our fire and EMS from Washington Township,” says Smith. “At the end of the day, they want the best for our City.”

Smith, a full-blooded Hungarian, grew up helping his mother cook four meals per day, and part of that heritage was helping the community by way of cooking.

“I was raised that if somebody got sick, you prepare a dinner,” says Smith. “You just take the food over. You don’t ask, and it makes you feel good. I don’t want anything in return.”

In fact, when the couple became empty nesters, Shelley told Smith that she was retiring from being their home’s head chef.

Smith replied, “Perfect.” He began raffling off home-cooked Hungarian dinners to benefit Buckeye Ranch, a mental health www.dublinlifemagazine.com

service in Columbus. Smith had been on the board at Buckeye Ranch for 38 years, and Shelley is still a member.

“I love being able to contribute a little bit, not just financially to charities, but with my time,” says Smith. “I just happen to love cooking, and I happen to be Hungarian.”

In addition to Buckeye Ranch, the Dublin Arts Council, Syntero, the Emerald Club and St. Brigid of Kildare church are among the Smiths favorite organizations. One that holds a special place in Smith’s heart is the James Cancer Hospital at The Ohio State University. Years ago, after Smith was diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s lymphoma, he says the James saved his life.

Smith and Shelley say they are proud of their three adult children, who have followed in their parents’ footsteps and gotten involved in philanthropy as well.

Laura lives in Phoenix, Andy in Hilliard and Stephen, Jr. stayed in Dublin.

Outside of cooking and philanthropy, Smith enjoys working out and walking the miles of bike paths in Dublin.

“We’ve got about a zillion miles of bike path, and that really keeps me sane,” says Smith. “If I’m Downtown, I’ll walk down to the courthouse to get lunch, and every morning I take the dog on a two-mile walk.”

Though the Dublin that Smith moved into 22 years ago starkly contrasts with the 12 • October/November 2016

Dublin today, Smith is excited for the continued change, particularly the construction on Bridge Street.

“It’s going to be great for our town, I think it will help keep young professionals here,” says Smith. “I can’t wait until the restaurants are open; the rooftop bar. It gives Dublin a whole other opportunity to serve its residents with options.”

Volunteering at Any Baby boomers and senior residents make up more than a quarter of Dublin’s volunteer population

By Josh Poland Mary Beth Smith, middle left, euchre moderator, with friends

I

t’s noon on a Wednesday at the Dublin Community Recreation Center. A handful of people are leaving the fitness area, likely heading to lunch after working up an appetite. But inside the DCRC’s Senior Lounge, different types of hunger are about to be satisfied. The hunger for camaraderie. The hunger for competition. The hunger for a game of cards.

“Are we ready to play?”

Roberta O’Neal asks the others at her table. O’Neal’s voice is slightly weakened by 93 years of living, but her passion for competition is as strong as ever.

Welcome to the Bridge Club – a group of about 20 individuals who meet every Wednesday from noon to 4 p.m. at the DCRC. “I love the people here,” Peter Somani said O’Neal. “I’ve been playing this game since I was a teenager, but I love playing with the people here.”

People like O’Neal can anticipate meeting up with friends at the Bridge Club

14 • October/November 2016

each week, thanks in part to the volunteer work of Peter Somani.

Somani, a 78-year-old Dublin resident, says he started volunteering with the group 10 years ago and took over organizing the club full-time three years ago.

He says volunteering keeps him moving and that working with the Bridge Club in particular helps to keep his mind sharp.

“As we age, we have quite a bit of free time and we have to keep ourselves very active in doing something worthwhile,” Somani says. “Part of that is finding a way to challenge your mind, and that is why we love to play bridge. You challenge your mind, but on top of that, you get a chance to socialize.”

His wife, Kemlesh, joins him each week.

“We are impressed with the Dublin senior programs and the volunteer work that

others do,” Somani says. “It’s fulfilling to all of us. We love living here.”

Bridge isn’t the only card game that takes place inside the Senior Lounge. Dozens of seniors gather weekly for games of euchre.

Mary Beth Smith, a retired Dublin Coffman High School math teacher, volunteers as moderator.

“I like people,” Smith says. “So when I retired from school, I wanted to find a place where I could be with people.”

Smith says she spends about 20 hours each month volunteering in various forms.

She even uses her math skills to do volunteer tutoring with Columbus City Schools.

“There’s so much out there for you to learn,” she said. “If you don’t meet with people and don’t get out, you become stale.”

A healthy number of Dublin residents share Smith’s view.

The City of Dublin has an active database of 3,691 volunteers. These are registered volunteers who have donated their time in the past two years. Even though the average age of a Dublin volunteer is 36 years old, roughly 1,000 of those volunteers are from the babyboom generation. www.dublinlifemagazine.com

Dublin Volunteer Resources Administrator Christine Nardecchia says the numbers prove baby boomers are redefining volunteerism.

“Boomers are our activists. They sparked movements and trends. And retirement hasn’t changed that activist spirit in them to want to make a difference,” she says.

“The key is impact. If they can see an im-

Roberta O’Neal www.dublinlifemagazine.com

pact their skills and passions will make, they will make it happen.”

Nardecchia says the Senior Lounge is a good fit for Smith and Somani because of their desire for socialization. But there are many other opportunities for Dublin’s older residents to make a positive impact on the community.

“The very best part about volunteering is that if a role doesn’t exist, we can create it. We are like match-makers of talent to need. If someone comes to us with a skill in something for which we have a need or that would enhance how we serve the community, we are encouraged to explore that,” Nardecchia says. “There are many visible ways seniors help through volunteerism. We have them out on bike paths as Dublin Bicycle Ambassadors, as community service officers, as instructors, researchers, etc. We know that doing things outside of one’s self is good for you, and we’ve known for many years that volunteerism is just as good for the giver as the receiver. It’s a dimension of wellness, and encouraging active involvement is a part of Dublin’s fabric.”

Smith shares a similar outlook on the rewards of volunteerism. She wants others in the community, especially the baby boomers and seniors, to discover the joy she has found in serving others.

“I think it helps you stay young,” Smith says. “I think it helps you maintain a focus

on the population rather than on yourself.

It gives you a better focus on life.”

One of the newest and perhaps most extravagant examples is the Grand, located on John Shields Parkway in Dublin’s Bridge Street District.

The clock and light posts on Main Street come from the Hilton Head, S.C. area.

Al Vrable, CEO of Vrable Healthcare Companies, and his wife, Senior Vice President Linda Vrable, are responsible for bringing in many of the Grand’s unique antiques and artifacts. The 133,000-squarefoot community opened in fall 2015 and includes an indoor town center – “Main Street” – as well as an indoor movie theater, a pharmacy, a salon, various physical therapy and rehab centers, a coffee shop, an ice cream parlor and Digger & Finch Grille & Pub, which pays homage to the original pub that was demolished in 2014. www.dublinlifemagazine.com

Next to the Grand’s chapel sits a 100year-old traditional red phone booth straight from Scotland. This phone booth, which was in use for 75 years and weighs roughly 2,500 pounds, sat outside the original Digger & Finch Grille & Pub.

You might not be able to eat here if you’re not a resident or guest at the Grand, but the pub located on the Grand’s main street pays homage to the former Dublin eatery Digger & Finch Grille & Pub. In the new space, diners can find tables, chairs, signs and other artifacts from the original pub.

There’s also a table, which was created

kiddieGRAND International Learning Center The Grand also strives to reach younger generations through its kiddieGRAND International Learning Center.

“It’s not a typical nursing home,” says Karen Burwell, administrator at kiddieGRAND. “We worked at the socialization aspect of it.”

As well as helping with the welfare of the residents, it also gives the children who attend the day care a helpful glimpse of what life is like for the residents, and for older adults. At the day care, the children and residents can engage in card and board games, puzzles, arts, crafts, and other bonding activities.

“It’s the circle of life, and the kids get to be a part of that,” Burwell says.

The idea for an intergenerational daycare was born after Al Vrable, CEO of Vrable Healthcare Companies, and his wife, Senior Vice President Linda Vrable, paid a visit to senior living communities with a similar concept.

“It’s great to see (the residents) light up and interact with the kids,” Burwell says. “It’s really bridged the gap, and closed the gap.”

Burwell says the kiddieGRAND helps combat three of the biggest issues older populations face: boredom, loneliness and helplessness.

“It’s really hard to feel that way around kids,” Burwell says.

The kiddieGRAND enrolls children from 18 months to 11 years old, and implements curriculum that abides by the Ohio Learning and Development standards.

Tails from the Office

Office pets make for more fun, productive workplaces

By Katie Ellington

D’Art at the Dublin Arts Council’s 2016 D’Art Dash 5K

D

“He serves several different functions,” says Janet Cooper, director of engagements for the Dublin Arts Council.

D’Art, a shorthair orange tabby, has lived at the DAC building since 2010, when a friend of Cooper’s discovered him wandering in her yard.

“From the moment he walked out of his carrier, he was right at home. He just walked out like he owned the place, and he has ever since,” says Cooper.

Employees say D’Art is a friendly, social cat. There are treats and fur rollers in every office, so D’Art spends his days at the gallery meandering from room to room and occasionally sneaking out to the flower beds. He’ll join the artists as they set up their works in the gallery, and isn’t afraid to make himself at home during meetings.

“In true cat fashion, he spends most meetings flopped on top of people’s papers,” says Cooper.

From small businesses to large companies, the bring-your-pet-to-work trend is growing. More employers are seeing the benefits of office pets: Workers are more satisfied, less stressed and more willing to show up to work. In addition to the DAC’s livein cat, two DAC employees regularly bring their dogs to work; however, the arts council isn’t the Maggie only pet-friendly business in Dublin.

’Art the gallery cat is a model employee. He greets guests at the door, attends every staff meeting, helps out the marketing team and only rarely naps on the job.

Christena Wentz, who co-owns Chelsea Borough Home, brings her dogs into work almost every day. When she rescued Oscar and Meyer almost two years ago, they were terrified of people. Now, the dogs feel more comfortable meeting new friends.

“I knew it would be a good training opportunity,” says Wentz. “The customers have been really receptive.”

During their time at the store, Oscar and Meyer have made it their home. Oscar enjoys naps on his favorite rug, while Meyer prefers to lie in the front window and bask in the sunlight. Wentz says the dogs are great for business. They distract children while parents get their shopping done and make the store a little bit cozier.

“When customers see a dog, it feels like a home,” says Wentz. “It really adds to the character of the store.”

Cooper says D’Art’s presence has a similar affect. Having a gallery cat gets rid of the “stuffiness” that may be associated with an art gallery and makes the space seem more laid-back and homey.

“He really feels it’s his duty to greet people,” she says. “He responds especially well to children.”

Maggie, a 10-year-old miniature labradoodle, is the primary greeter at Dean Insurance Group.

“Everyone is obsessed with trying to earn her attention when they come into the office. It puts a smile on people’s faces,” says Rachel Dean-Haas, Maggie’s owner.

Office pets also have a positive effect on employees. Amy Conley, a realtor at Conley & Partners in Dublin, brings her 8-month-old King Charles Cavaliers into work almost every day. Milly and Georgie keep the office environment fun and lighthearted: Stressed employees unwind by taking a few minutes to play with the pups.

Some even take turns taking the dogs outside, a welcome respite from a hectic day.

“It’s nice to get some sunshine,” says realtor Carrie Everingham. “I think (Milly and Georgie) make things less stressful.

We’re all dog people.”

“He’s therapy for all of us,” says Cooper of D’Art. “It’s hard to be stressed when you have a cat purring on your lap.”

T

he Bridge Street District of Dublin is getting a facelift.

Crawford Hoying Development has taken on more than 30 acres of land with a plan to create a new kind of lifestyle for Dublin residents.

“The hottest office market in the city right now is the Short North, and there’s a reason: because it’s close to everything. So that’s what we’re creating here,” says Brent Crawford of Crawford Hoying.

To attract businesses to Dublin, Bridge Park is designed as a dense, mixed-use space. This means the buildings will have more vertical height and the use of the spaces will be a combination of residential apartments or condos, retail, restaurants and offices. This creates a walkable environment.

“When you’re there (in Bridge Park), you can have a coffee meeting downstairs at one of the shops. You can meet somebody for lunch; you don’t have to get in the car and drive 10 minutes. You can meet somebody for drinks after work,” says Bob Hoying of Crawford Hoying. “There’s just the ability to have that walkability to amenities that you don’t have in a (business) park.”

This walkable, mixeduse space is a unique change of direction for Dublin.

“It doesn’t exist anywhere else in Dublin,” says Crawford.

“There’s really not any example of where you could live and work and shop and eat and all those things in a single location.”

Crawford Hoying is able to create such an innovative environment largely because it’s already in line with the city’s goals to rejuvenate the area. In the past, zoning laws did not allow this kind of mixed-use space.

“I think there’s this misconception that we decided to do what we were going to do and that the City did what they did,”

says Crawford. “That was actually not the case. They had already planned to redo the intersection with a roundabout and to relocate 33 and to do some of those infrastructure changes. It’s just that our development helped spur that along a little faster.”

Bridge Park’s location is ideal for a number of reasons. For example, it’s located right along the river and is neighboring Historic Dublin.

“There’s some fear, I think, that it’s going to hurt Old Dublin,” says Crawford. “It should really only enhance it. You’re going to have many new visitors coming to Bridge Park because it’s an actual destination now,” says Crawford.

Previously, Historic Dublin did not have enough restaurant choices to draw

a large dinner crowd from other Columbus suburbs. Bridge Park will have this capacity, and visitors will be able to walk over the pedestrian bridge into Historic Dublin to support businesses there as well.

Moreover, Bridge Park will spur further development in the surrounding areas, says Hoying.

The sheer breadth of this project can create the misconception that it will take decades to complete.

“One of the most common things that I read is, ‘This’ll be awesome when it’s done in 20 years.’ But that’s not the case,” says Crawford. “I would think that within 36 months, it will be 100 percent completed, if not sooner.”

This rapid development of the area is crucial to the mixed-use environment, says Crawford. Only building one block at a time would have created an awkward landscape with sporadic tall buildings instead of the urban streetscape that Bridge Park achieves.

A broad spectrum of tenants are already itching to move into the swanky new neighborhood. The area is appealing to millennials and new businesses, as well as empty-nesters.

“A good contingent of the people who’ve already signed leases and are moving into the development are empty-nesters. They’re leaving their current Dublin homes. In a lot of cases kids are gone,” says Crawford. “They don’t need the space anymore, but, as much as that, they’re looking for the lifestyle.”

Even the amenities of Bridge Park will be unique within their niche. For example, the AC Hotel by Marriott will feature an eighth floor rooftop bar with indoor and outdoor components; the building that is pegged for a grocery store will have residential apartments available on the upper floors; even the parking garages have a high-end vibe and will be “wrapped” with residential and business spaces to enhance the appearance of the street.

“I think this will be an iconic project in the sense that people are going to come from all over to see it when it’s finished,” says Crawford.

Storyteller Series WITH AMANDA DEPERRO

“We Always Come Back” Don Rose has traveled the world, but has always called Dublin home Dublin Life’s Storyteller Series focuses on the people who make Dublin great – people who have made improving the community a part of their life, people who have been able to call Dublin home for a long time and people who have watched Dublin evolve over the years. The Storyteller Series tells the history of Dublin through his or her eyes, and sheds light on what living in Dublin was like decades ago. With the help of these special people, Dublin has undoubtedly become a better place.

Though the Rose family hasn’t lived in Dublin quite so long as others, the four Roses – Clayton, Jr.; Barbara; Carol and Don – have as much right to call Dublin home as anyone. Don, the youngest at 77 years old, was the only one born in Dublin, but each of the Rose children grew up playing on Bridge Street, in the Scioto River and the now-gone public pool in Shawnee

I

think Mom and Dad – Phyllis and Clayton Rose – moved here because they loved being on farms, and wanted to get to the country. Barbara and Clayton both enjoyed their grandparents’ farm in Paulding County, so they put pressure on them to move. They enjoyed the experience of farming and being in the country. There were 200 or 300 people in Dublin itself, and at the time the people who went to school had parents who were farmers. Some worked in Columbus, which was our case. It was mixed in that respect.

We had a nice house that Dad could only buy because he was a judge at the time of the Depression; he had a job.

He paid $12,000 for 28 acres, and then built onto it. We didn’t have any luxuries, but we all loved that house and the grounds. The house sat in the middle of 32 • October/November 2016

Hills. Don Rose, the fifth Storyteller of the series, vividly remembers playing in Dublin as a child. The family moved to Dublin in 1937 when it was still a rural farming community, as his siblings wanted to be in the “country.”

Although Dublin can’t be described as such any longer, Don has no thoughts of leaving the town he’s watched grow throughout his life.

five acres of trees – big beech trees. We had a nice childhood.

Another thing that I think is interesting is that, out of the goodness of their hearts, Mom and Dad took in kids to live with us from the children’s home over the years.

One of them, John Shook, came from a very dysfunctional family. My mom invited his mom to his high school graduation, and he didn’t know who it was. My mom had to introduce him to his own mother.

Each of the children that lived with us were a part of the family; that’s kind of the way things were.

The swimming pool in Shawnee Hills was the place to be. People didn’t have private pools, we didn’t have air conditioning, so going there in the summer was the way to beat the heat. Clayton worked there in high school and he ended up buying it while he was still in

college, and he did well with it. He employed all of us; that was the hangout.

For a while I lived on a sailboat with my wife, Robin. We sold our house and everything, and lived on the boat for two and a half years, and traveled 11,000 miles. I wrote a book about the trip – my wife actually wrote it, she won’t take credit for it – but she kept a journal, and I turned it into a book called Living Aboard the Sailboat Robin Lee. After we got off the sailboat, we worked for about seven months, then we drove an old junker down to the Mexican border and sold it, then spent three months in

Mexico. We were living in cheap hotels, then spent two months in Central America, then went down to South America and spent about five months.

So, counting the time to go down to the Mexican border, the trip altogether was about 10 and a half months.

When we got back from that, we spent about another year working, then bought round-the-world plane tickets. We spent six and a half months going around the world, then came back here to Dublin; it’s our home. We had a lot of favorites, but Robin loves Paris, and so do I. I’d say the most fascinating place was Bali, and also Nepal; people there have a very different kind of life.

I recently wrote a story about the fire at the Ohio State Penitentiary, A Night of Horror: 1930 Ohio Penitentiary Fire. Before

our dad was a judge, he was an assistant prosecutor in the Franklin County Prosecutor’s office, and he helped to investigate and prosecute the guys who started the fire. It was arson; 320 prisoners died, they basically cooked in there. When I was researching to write a book about my dad, Judge Clayton Rose, Sr.: The Boy from the Great Black Swamp, I’d found that he worked on that case, and I decided I would write a book about it. It happened 85 years ago, so not many people know much about it. I’ve gotten more interested in history as time goes on; I think more people get interested in history as they become historic.

I still don’t feel like an old timer, because I still know so many people who were here in Dublin long before we came. It’s home.

It’s very different from what it was, but it’s grown into a nice city.

Life Lessons

Don Rose’s sister, Barb Headlee, began what are now cornerstones of Dublin City Schools’ physical education classes

B

arb Headlee describes herself as a child as “Daddy’s tomboy.”

At 16, she bought a car and overhauled the engine using borrowed tools and knowledge from working on a lawnmower engine with her father. She went on to teach physical education for 25 years at Dublin Coffman High School – then, simply Dublin High School. Headlee knew that her students would get more out of a program that challenged them and taught

them lessons they could apply to life. In 2010, she was inducted into the Dublin City Schools Alumni Association Hall of Fame for her revolutionary approach to physical education.

Fencing, skeet shooting, archery and orienteering (the act of using a topography map and a compass to hike and camp) were all a part of Headlee’s physical education class. For students up for a greater challenge, Headlee began a program that all Dublin students are familiar with: outdoor

pursuits. Three times per year, Headlee took a group of students over a weekend to Delaware State Park and taught them everything they needed to know about camping and hiking for a weekend. In one weekend, Headlee taught bicycling, orienteering, camping and canoeing.

Outdoor pursuits with Barb Headlee was popular, but no walk in the park. The trip began Saturday morning at 7 a.m. with a 33-mile bicycle ride to Delaware State Park, with one stop halfway to use bathrooms. Once they arrived at the park, Headlee taught canoeing, followed by dinner for the 30-some students and adult chaperones on the trip. After dinner, the group would take a night hike, then tell stories around the bonfire. When the trip was over on Sunday, students biked another 33 miles back to the school.

“That was fun. We’d eat s’mores and do the usual camp thing,” says Headlee. “I had wonderful cooperation from the staff and administrators and the community.”

But Headlee’s trailblazing didn’t end there. She also founded the gymnastics program and ski club in Dublin schools, both of which still exist.

“I’m very glad to know that’s still going on,” says Headlee.

At 86 years of age, Headlee hasn’t given up her passion for the outdoors, and has a home in Frisco, Colo. – where she lives each winter – and two shared cabins in www.dublinlifemagazine.com

Take the Donegal Cliffs home of Kelly and Bill Megahan. Their new kitchen, courtesy of NJW Construction, has, among other things, a big new kitchen island, a new breakfast area and a plethora of new kitchen cabinetry.

What doesn’t it have? For starters, a design that makes the kids more likely to be underfoot, and a wall blocking the view of the family room.

The family has lived in the house since 2002. The motivation behind the remodel was a simple matter of evolving needs.

As the Megahans’ three children – ages 16, 12 and 8 – have gotten older, they’ve found themselves in need of far more space and amenities. And the couple didn’t want to move.

“We liked the schools, and we knew we wanted to feed into (Dublin) Coffman (High School),” says Kelly. “There really wasn’t any new housing development that fed into Coffman at the time, (so) we just decided that we would remodel our house.”

On top of that, there was wear and tear – cabinet doors coming apart, etc. And there were too many blind spots.

“You couldn’t see the family room from the kitchen, you couldn’t get a good view 36 • October/November 2016

Though the family room was not previously visible from the kitchen, large, espresso-framed doorways now connect the kitchen to the extended family room space. A brick fireplace was also removed to make room for the French doors.

The kitchen island, with granite countertops and custom cabinetry, has seating for five.

“We do lots of meals just there at the island,” Kelly says. “It’s nice. You feel like a shortorder cook.” www.dublinlifemagazine.com

ometimes, a kitchen update can be as much about subtraction as about addition.

of the back yard from the kitchen or the family room,” Kelly says.

To that end, the Megahans worked with NJW to remove the wall separating the kitchen from the family room, and also extended the kitchen eating area.

Though the kitchen is certainly the highlight of the work NJW did, it’s not the full extent of it. The renovation also entailed an addition that includes a brand-new mudroom and extended family room space.

Personal storage lockers in the mudroom are a godsend for organizing and dealing with clutter, Kelly says.

“The mudroom can organize (the kids’) stuff well and make morning time and school paperwork easier,” she says.

Another addition: a built-in refrigerator and freezer. Not only do they offer more space than the Megahans had before, they’re actually separated, which cuts down on kitchen congestion. A walk-in pantry provides even more storage.

The mosaic backsplash in the kitchen grabs further attention.

The Megahans’ three children – ages 16, 12 and 8 – even have their own section of the kitchen, thanks to a kids’ bar with a beverage refrigerator and pull-out trays.

The cakes were well received, and soon, his family members were all asking him to bake for them. He started Alex’s Great Cakes, built a website and made business cards, and word spread quickly about his delicious confections, the favorite of which is the Kit Kat cake with M&Ms. How does Alex fit a growing business into his schedule?

“It’s tough some weeks, but I find baking to be relaxing downtime,” Alex says.

Lilly Byrne www.lovetogotolillys.com Lilly Byrne is the president and lone shareholder of Love to Go to Lilly’s. She is also 12 years old. Lilly owns healthful food vending machines, complete with pink and green designs and a Lilly avatar logo.

She began dreaming and talking about healthful options, including drive-through restaurants, when she was 5 years old.

Lilly’s dad, Matt, works at the Dublin Entrepreneurial Center on Frantz Road.

He is also an entrepreneur and enjoys the connection he and Lilly share while working on her business. He has guided Lilly along in the process of forming her company. Lilly is hands-on and selects the food items, tracks and stocks inventory, calculates monthly input, and even pays her sales tax online.

What does Lilly foresee in the future?

“I’d really like to look into franchising, and also putting the vending machines in schools so kids can have healthy choices too.” www.dublinlifemagazine.com

Barrington School

Brian Peele Brian Peele is a senior lacrosse player at Dublin Jerome High School who has a mailbox painting and repairing business.

He started the venture his freshman year when his dad showed him how to fix, sand and paint their white Tartan Fields mailbox.

A neighbor hired Brian to do his mailbox, too, and a business was born. That first summer, Brian walked door to door and was surprised to find that most people were eager to support a teenager. He ended up painting 20 mailboxes and posts.

“I was only breaking even for a while because I bought a power sander and a truck to haul around paint and equipment,” Brian says. “I’d recommend being an entrepreneur because it’s great to be your own boss, and be the one responsible for making your customers happy.”
