Ready To Rock

Youth camp gives musicians a unique opportunity

F

or aspiring young musicians, getting started often presents the biggest obstacle.

Upper Arlington’s Camp Rock offers an opportunity for kids entering grades 8-12 to meet other musicians and get experience performing.

Now entering its third year, Camp Rock aims to provide kids who want to start bands with knowledge on writing music, working with other musicians and performing live. The camp formed after kids in theater camps began to ask for opportunities to play and learn about music – specifically rock music. Camp Rock gives these young people a chance to meet other performers while learning about what it means to be a musician.

Camp Rock teaches campers about a wide variety of different topics, including music notation, marketing and stage presence. No experience is necessary; some campers will learn a new instrument and be performing by the end of the week. Participants will form a band, choose and learn a set list, and perform live at the end of the camp.

“Our expectation is that kids are going to come and learn as much as they want to and interact with other musicians,” says Upper Arlington Arts Manager Lynette Santoro-Au. Many kids start garage bands, but the groups often struggle to get experience performing. Camp Rock gives the musicians an opportunity to perform and take their music to the next level, Santoro-Au says.

Linus Fraley, a 14-year-old piano player, participated in Camp Rock for the first time last year after moving to the area. Fraley was so inspired he decided to form a band of his own with a guitarist he met at camp. Their band, North of Lane, has continued to get more performing opportunities, even opening for Bret Michaels, which Fraley describes as one of the best nights of his life. Camp Rock played a large role in the group’s start.

“I’m not even sure if I would be in a band if I didn’t go to that camp,” says Fraley.

Camp Rock gave Fraley his first performing experience outside of a school band. He credits the camp with teaching him how to find gigs and attract a larger audience. Fraley recommends the camp to anyone even considering joining a band.

Those interested in Camp Rock, which takes place from July 13-17, can register through the city of Upper Arlington by July 10.

The Camp Rock band will perform 7-8:30 p.m. July 16 at the Jake Will Amphitheater at Sunny 95 Park as part of the city’s Music in the Parks concert series.

MARBLE CLIFF

Creating Community

GHHS graduate returns to hometown, pursues community volunteerism

By Bill Johannes, Marble Cliff Administrative Assistant

M

arble Cliff resident and active community volunteer Heidi Varner’s Columbus roots run deep.

Her great-grandfather Nicholas Harris, Sr. started Harris Opticians on East Broad Street in 1897. Varner, of German heritage, remembers many happy times spent with family and the Kinderchor at the Columbus Maennerchor, a German club and singing society on South High Street.

Varner’s family has lived in the Tri-Village area for many years.

Her father, Franz Harris, was raised in Upper Arlington, and her mother, Sharon (Snee) Harris, grew up in Grandview Heights.

Not only did Varner’s mother graduate from Grandview Heights High School in 1964, but so did her three aunts, Donna (’48), Nancy (’51) and Janice (’67).

“Although I was born in Columbus, we moved to Grandview when I was 3, and I completed all 13 grades in Grandview schools, graduating from GHHS in 1984,” Varner says.

Upon graduating high school, Varner attended Miami University and earned her B.S. in education.

Following graduation, Varner taught near Washington, D.C. for two years before returning to Columbus and reconnecting with Arthur Varner, who she knew from college.

“He was in medical school at Ohio State,” Varner says. “We married in 1992 and then moved to Cleveland, where he joined an allergy practice.”

While in Cleveland, the Varners started their family, and Varner earned her master’s degree in reading from John Carroll University. She also worked at John Carroll helping to implement the “Reading First Ohio” initiative in area schools.

Her husband’s job change and a desire to be closer to family eventually brought the Varners back to Columbus, where Varner continued her teaching career working for an online school teaching reading to home-schooled children.

“In 2008, we moved to Cambridge Boulevard in Marble Cliff after searching long and hard to find the perfect location to raise our family. I had lots of friends in the area, and two of my GHHS ’84 classmates live in Marble Cliff,” Varner says.

Varner’s children have all followed in her footsteps, attending Grandview Heights City Schools. Madeleine, now 20, attends Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where she is studying fine arts and computer science. Grant was a member of GHHS’ 100th graduating class and will attend Brown University, where he plans to major in business and play football. Gretchen has completed her sophomore year at GHHS, where she swims, acts and participates in the vocal music program.

Varner has remained connected to the district through her involvement with the Middle School Fun Fair and the PTO, where she is completing her third year as president.

Through PTO, Varner and other volunteers started a speaker series for students and parents. The organization works closely with GHHS Principal Ken Chaffin, Varner says.

“When we find a need, the PTO tries to address and fill that need,” she says.

Varner also serves on the high school’s Chief Academic Officer’s Teaching and Learning Liaison Committee.

In addition to her involvement with Grandview schools, Varner has also preserved her love of reading. She is starting her second year of training in the Orton-Gillingham method of reading instruction for dyslexic children at the Children’s Dyslexia Center in Dublin. The center, a philanthropic project of the Scottish Rite Masons, provides specialized reading instruction to students with severe reading challenges.

As part of the curriculum and training, Varner tutors two students.

“I love teaching and believe my mission is to help any child read. Reading and writing are fundamental to everything we do,” Varner says.

Varner has also taught Sunday school at Our Lady of Victory.

When she’s not teaching or volunteering with the school district, she enjoys gardening and reading.

“I am an avid user of the Grandview Heights Public Library,” she says.

Throughout her time living in Marble Cliff, Varner has seen many young families come to the community and join long-time residents here.

“We are grateful and feel blessed to be part of this beautiful community,” she says.

Accounting firm makes Grandview Yard its home

“We were looking for a place to bring the workplace of the future” July/August 2015 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

B

y moving its firm into Grandview Yard, Ernst & Young has turned the stereotype of the boring accounting office squarely on its head.

The company’s new space at 800 Yard St., into which it moved May 9-10, can count among its amenities a foosball table, a treadmill, couches and a bar.

The 20,000-square-foot office features wide windows to let in ample sunlight for the firm’s 265 employees.

“We were looking for a place to bring the workplace of the future,” says Craig Marshall, managing partner.

The firm moved to Grandview Yard from Huntington Center in downtown Columbus, where it was located for 14 years, to be responsive to employees’ needs, Marshall says. In the process of

Ernst & Young’s original office was in downtown Columbus.

deciding where to move, Ernst & Young had an advisory board that contained members of all ranks in the company.

“We listened very closely to our people,” Marshall says. “It’s an answer to what they said is important to them.”

Employees wanted easy access to transportation and a workspace that fostered cooperation, Marshall says.

Grandview Yard is close to home for many employees, and new space provides a variety of work settings such as standing desks, a café area, couches, bar-style seating and wave desks that bring an element of creative design into the office.

Ernst & Young has also moved to a clean desk policy, emphasizing the use of electronics as opposed to paper. Employees are offered mugs and discouraged from using Styrofoam cups.

“We focused on a green space, whether it’s the types of light bulbs we’re

using, the types of light switches,” Marshall says. “The space itself is beautiful.”

Ernst & Young is a worldwide firm headquartered in London, and its Columbus office was established in 1920. According to Forbes, it is the ninth-largest privately owned company in America.

Village Visionary U

pper Arlington author Edith Pattou admits she’s not very good at remembering dates, but 1991 was a big year for her.

In 1991, Pattou’s daughter, Vita, was born, and her first book, Hero’s Song, was published.

In the 24 years since Hero’s Song was released, Pattou has turned out three more young adult books and one children’s picture book. Hero’s Song was the first book in the Songs of Eirren series, for which Pattou has written a sequel, Fire Arrow. She plans to return to the saga in due time.

The high fantasy of Songs of Eirren is a common marker of Pattou’s work, and it defines one of her most famous novels, East. While the former series is set in Irish mythology, East finds its roots in the Norwegian fairy tale “East of the Sun and West of the Moon.”

Though a great deal of her work draws inspiration from these fanciful sources, it’s important for Pattou to keep her stories grounded in approachable themes.

“East is about a girl setting off on a really strenuous and dangerous quest to make right something that she did wrong and to rescue the prince,” she says. “And I always loved that about the fairy tale: that it’s the girl who rescues the prince.”

For Pattou, empowering and inspirational concepts are appealing messages that recur often in her books. East offers readers Rose, the kind of protagonist readers can feel attached to and glean inspiration from.

“These young girls who read it just see how resilient and resourceful and brave and persistent Rose is,” Pattou says.

Pattou injected the same relatability into her most recent effort, Ghosting. Though the book follows eight different perspectives and uses free verse throughout, review12

ers such as Anne Jung-Matthews from the School Library Journal have recommended it to reluctant readers “given the book’s realistic portrayal of a Midwestern town, the lyrical narrative and the readily relatable protagonists.”

Her relationship with her readers is a significant driving force for Pattou. This is perhaps most potent with East, one of her most influential books.

“People who read it and loved it just really loved it,” she says. “I still get these amazing fan letters from 22-year-old girls who say that they read it when they were 10 – and it’s the book of their life.”

With its tremendous following, East has recently been optioned to be a feature-length movie. Annika Karlsen, a film producer who read East as a little girl, is at the helm and now has the chance to make it into a fairy tale for the big screen.

The film itself is in very early stages, though a screenplay has been written – to which Pattou has given her blessing – and just one part has been cast.

Local author touches hearts from the page to the big screen That part, however, is an important one.

The prince in East is unique in that, for much of the story, he takes the enchanted form of a giant white bear. To achieve this onscreen, the filmmakers have cast Agee, the only trained polar bear in North America.

“And I got to go to Vancouver, Canada, and I met the polar bear,” Pattou says.

“Though it’s a she-polar bear who’s going to have to play a male polar bear.”

“But it was a wonderful experience,” she says.

Like in any reader-writer relationship, it’s fascinating when these two sides come together, especially when collaborating on a project adapting one of the author’s books.

But, despite her distinctive job, Pattou has a life outside of her career.

Pattou is a member of a support system of young adult authors in central Ohio. The group calls itself OHYA (as in, “oh, yeah”), a portmanteau of “Ohio” and the acronym for “Young Adult,” and meets once per month to chat.

To those who know her, Pattou is just “Edie.” Her husband, Charles Emery, is a psychology professor at The Ohio State University and formerly worked at Duke University. They met when Pattou still lived in California, where she received her master’s degree in English literature at Claremont Graduate School (now known as Claremont Graduate University), then another master’s in library and information science at UCLA in 1983.

The couple moved from L.A. to Colorado. They lived there for a year before heading over to North Carolina, where they stayed until moving to Upper Arlington in 1994.

Pattou and Emery have a daughter, Vita (short for Victoria), named after poet and author Vita Sackville-West.

July/August 2015 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

Photo by Wes Kroninger

One of Pattou’s most popular works, Mrs. Spitzer’s Garden, was inspired by a letter she wrote for Vita’s kindergarten teacher. The picture book enjoyed a week on the New York Times’ Best Sellers List.

Much of Pattou’s inspiration and the information in her books comes from unexpected sources – such as the metaphor of a schoolteacher as a gardener watching her students grow, which was gleaned from the work of the real-life Mrs. Spitzer.

While working as assistant editor of a medical journal, for example, Pattou collected names of doctors and researchers from the index and recycled them later as character names in her books.

In addition, Pattou consulted her husband as well as a physician friend of a friend to learn more about physical trauma and medical procedures for Ghosting.

But Pattou says the most research she has had to conduct was for her works of fantasy. While writing East, a fantasy epic set in Norway in the 1500s, Pattou says she “did an incredible amount of research on things like mapmaking, weaving, the Arctic and polar bears.”

“I would get file folders full of information about each of those topics,” while for Ghosting, her work was limited to more practical notions, “like what high schools do for spirit week,” she says.

But, in the end, the content of her work comes from an amalgam of all the July/August 2015 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

experiences, places and people in her life. Pattou’s childhood had its fair share of adventures and hardships, from inaugurating a spy organization in elementary school with her best friend, Sue, to moving to Chicago from the suburbs after her parents’ divorce.

Her storied life has sharpened the tools she uses to craft stories with emotional breadth and experiential knowledge. When writing Ghosting, Pattou sought to communicate such wisdom gained by living.

“Even if something really bad happens, you can never really be irreparably broken, and you can always move forward in life,” she says. “I think the message is always one of hope and healing.”

Buddies Abound

Area libraries offer service, learning opportunities through reading programs

The majority of the Big and Little Buddies come from Upper Arlington City Schools. They meet once a week.

During the five-week program, the Big Buddies act as reading coaches and a support system for their Little Buddies.

The Little Buddies select reading material from a cart that contains both fiction and

nonfiction, categorized by reading levels.

Little says she includes materials for everyone from the very beginning readers to advanced early readers, who might prefer practicing with chapter books.

When the Little Buddies arrive, they are matched with Big Buddies, but they are not guaranteed the same buddy each

week unless the Little Buddy expresses a need for consistency. After the matching, the buddies take a seat together and work on a literacy worksheet, such as a crossword puzzle. After the worksheets are completed, the reading begins. The last five minutes are dedicated to a read-aloud session led by one of the Big Buddies. “(Big Buddies help) to sound out letters or words when needed, and gently nudge (Little Buddies) to tackle more challenging books as the hour progresses,” Little says. “The magic of the program is that often all a new reader needs is a new ear – someone who doesn’t have any expectations of his or her reading ability.”

L

earning how to read and being read to are things that many children carry with them into adulthood.

Through reading programs at area libraries, local teens have the opportunity to be part of that fundamental experience.

This is the first summer the Upper Arlington Public Library will offer its Book Buddies program at its Lane Road and Miller Park branches. Book Buddies, which assists incoming first-through third-graders with their reading, has been offered at the Main Branch for more than five years, says Dena Little, youth services manager.

“Throughout the years, many of the parents of those children who have participated have shared with us how much they would love to see Book Buddies offered at their home location,” Little says.

Hosting Book Buddies at additional locations also allows the teen volunteers to volunteer at the library closest to them, Little says. The volunteers – or “Big Buddies” – can be enrolled in grades six through 12.

Grandview Heights Public Library’s Reading Club Since the mid-1980s, the Grandview Heights Public Library’s own reading club has been a staple program and a favorite among young children and teens alike.

Teen volunteers – or “Volunteens” – must be entering the seventh grade in order to participate as volunteers for the Kids’ Summer Reading Club, which is open to children from birth to sixth grade.

During the 10-week program, children keep a reading log and must clock 20 hours of reading total. This breaks down to about 20 minutes a day. For every four hours a child reads, he or she earns a prize. The prize could be anything from a book to a coupon. During the program, the Volunteens manage the prize table and interact with the children.

“It always surprises me how you can get kids who are quiet, but they open up and are really warm with the other kids,” says Jennifer Lawson, teen librarian at the Grandview library. “That brings a lot of joy to us.”

Children can earn their reading hours by reading blogs, graphic novels or anything else that makes them happy, Lawson says. They can also listen to audio books, or be read to by a family member or Volunteen.

Last year, the library faced an obstacle with its reading program. It was the first year that service hours were not required through Grandview Heights City Schools. Lawson says she feared few teen volunteers would want to participate in the program if there were no incentive.

She was pleasantly surprised.

“We kind of panicked, but we saw a much smaller decline than we expected,” Lawson says. “There were more kids who came because they want to be here, not because they have to be here.”

The library’s 2015 Kids’ Summer Reading Club concludes Aug. 1.

The goal of Book Buddies is to help the younger children not only become more confident with their reading, but also gain valuable social skills. Little says she has seen many children reap the benefits, but one story does stick out.

“I remember one child last year who, at the beginning of summer, would cry and cling to her mother because she didn’t want to practice her reading,” Little says. “She was scared of the situation. By the end of the five weeks, this same child came in happy, with a big smile, and sat reading with her Big Buddy.”

Little Buddies at any reading level can enroll in the program. Each year, Little says, the library sees a huge range of ability. If a child has a learning disability, parents contact the library so Little can make proper accommodations and pair the child with an appropriate Big Buddy.

For the Big Buddies, Little says, participating in the program as a volunteer is often their favorite way to earn service hours.

“They get to help little kids in an environment they are comfortable in,” Little says. “Most of the Big Buddies volunteer because they really do enjoy helping the little kids with their reading, and many of the teens come back to volunteer every single year.”

Teen volunteers can earn up to six service hours by participating in Book Buddies. These service hours can be used toward the service requirements in Upper Arlington schools, Little says.

Protecting Preschoolers Summer program teaches children valuable life skills

ith so many regular admonitions to “be safe,” it makes sense that the preschool-age children in Upper Arlington would have the chance to learn precisely what that means.

Safety Town, a two-week summer program, is geared toward children who will be starting kindergarten or first grade in the fall and takes on about 400 students a year. Safety Town teaches participants about everything from school bus safety to fire prevention to animal safety.

Certified teachers provide classroom instruction, and local safety specialists perform demonstrations. Area high school and college volunteers supervise a miniature village with tricycles and a traffic signal that’s aimed to teach children about pedestrian and traffic safety.

Fire fighters from Upper Arlington Fire Division bring their ladder truck along for a visit with Safety Town participants.

The program teaches participants “how to make wise decisions in potentially dangerous situations, as well as how to handle emergencies in their young lives,” says Shawn Paynter, Upper Arlington Police Division’s community relations and public information officer and coordinator of the program.

Though Safety Town is a summertime activity, the benefits are meant to be far more long-reaching.

“We are trying to equip kids with overall awareness and empower them so they can stay safe on a day-to-day basis,” says Paynter.

Safety Town is much larger than it was when it began in 1971, evolving into a two-week program, Paynter says.

“Over the years, we’ve added things to the program,” says Paynter.

Safety Town now offers a variety of activities with a different safety-related

theme every day. In 2014, the Safety Town program saw record attendance, and it is expecting a high volume of attendees this year as well.

Safety Town is held annually at one of Upper Arlington City Schools’ elementary schools. This year, it will take place at Greensview Elementary School, located at 4301 Greensview Dr. Two sessions were offered in June, and two more are on tap for July. Morning and afternoon classes are available.

Registration is available by mail, online or in person at Upper Arlington Parks and Recreation. Visit parks.uaoh.net for more information.

Cooking with Gas Kitchen remodel and second-floor addition make UA home feel like new

“It really does feel like a new house,” she says.

The remodel of the Upper Arlington home that Norris, her husband, Joel, and their son, Jack, live in included a substantial kitchen renovation and the addition of a room above their garage. The house, when they purchased it, was listed as 2,200 square feet, Norris says, though

that didn’t include the finished basement, which adds another approximately 700 square feet.

Norris found the kitchen’s original layout to be quite closed off. The renovation, which took about 3 and a half months, rectified that.

“It created as open a floor plan as we’re going to get,” she says.

The two-floor home includes a basement with storage, a bedroom and full bath, and a living room area with a wet bar. The kitchen, living room, dining room, powder room and sun room make up the first floor. The second floor now has four bedrooms: the master bedroom, Norris’ son’s room, a guest bedroom and the room above the garage.

The kitchen work included tearing down a wall that separated the kitchen

from a room that Norris’ husband used as his office. While the kitchen stove and sink remained in the same place, the refrigerator moved, and they added an island in marble with a black soapstone perimeter. The kitchen was made over with new cabinets and countertops. The tile floor was replaced with hardwood in a color that matched the rest of the house.

The room that used to be Joel’s old office was made into a sitting area.

Even before she approached J.S. Brown & Co. for the remodel, Norris knew how she wanted her kitchen to look. White cabinets, marble counters and stainless steel appliances would create a more classic look to mesh with the overall home’s design.

“It came out exactly as I envisioned it,” Norris says.

While the kitchen renovation was much needed, it left Joel without an office.

And because he works out of the home, the family needed to come up with a viable replacement. Norris was unwilling to give up a bedroom on the second floor, so the family decided they would build a room above the garage.

The idea took a bit of fine-tuning, but they ended up reconfiguring the upstairs guest bedroom and building a hallway to the new room above the garage.

“The hallway turned out really well,” Norris says.

At around 200 to 300 square feet, the room is as big as, if not bigger than, the master bedroom. Two large windows allow for ample natural light. And, unlike the old office, the design doesn’t require family members to walk through the space to get to another part of the house.

Norris took advantage of the renovation to update the living room furniture, which they had kept when they moved from Powell 10 years ago. The room is now done in muted neutrals with green, grey, cream and brown.

or those who don’t want to bring home the bacon themselves, the Breakfast Club’s delivery service may be a viable option.

The Upper Arlington delivery service offers a plethora of gourmet menu items, including cherrywood smoked bacon, all made to be delivered fresh to guests in the Tri-Village area.

Nikki Stoughton, Breakfast Club president and founder, says she dreamed up the concept of breakfast delivery in March 2014. She saw a need for the service after helping her brother move out of his The Breakfast Club’s delivery van house. Upon realizing they could “I really don’t have a not leave their moved items to go favorite; I enjoy making pick anything up without riskthem all,” he says. “I’ve ing cold food upon their return, always believed that as a she entertained the possibility of chef, you should never a hot breakfast delivery business. have a favorite dish be“Why doesn’t anyone serve cause it means you’ll spend (and deliver) hot food for breakmore time on your favorite fast?” she had asked her father. dish to make it more per“That was the initial spark,” Chef Josh Truex fect than all the other.”

Stoughton says.

Truex has high hopes Stoughton and Executive Chef Josh Truex launched the company for the Breakfast Club’s future and believes in April. They chose to name the business it will continue to grow.

The minimum order is four breakfasts ($70) along with a flat fee of $10 for delivery. Stoughton believes that $15 breakfast plus $10 delivery is competitive compared to a typical brunch cost and wait time.

Stoughton makes it a point to send out surveys to all her customers to make sure she’s meeting expectations.

“We’re always looking to be the best and be better than we were before,” she says.

In addition to expanding the number of employees and vans and delivery range, Stoughton plans to utilize seasonal menus.

The next menu change will probably occur this fall. Additionally, the company’s changing chef du jour option allows Truex to dream up something new each week.

The overall goal is to prepare and deliver everything to the best of their ability. Stoughton has high aspirations for the Breakfast Club and anticipates success with a redefined idea of breakfast.

“I have to change the way people think about breakfast,” she says. “Once it happens, I truly believe great things are going to happen to this club.”

rom 3:30-8:30 p.m. on Aug. 6, Northam Park will again become a site for delectable dining during the 22nd Taste of Upper Arlington, held by the Upper Arlington Area Chamber of Commerce.

Restaurants from throughout Upper Arlington participate, giving attendees the chance to sample a variety of flavors.

“It’s definitely a full array of cuisine,” says Dakota Russell, administrative coordinator for the chamber.

Restaurants attending include Jet’s Pizza, Skyward Grille, Hudson 29 Kitchen + Drink and Yabo’s Tacos, says Russell.

Last year, 125 businesses were at the event, and about 10,000 people attended.

This year’s big change is the way the food will be judged.

The celebrity judging process will likely be more open to the public than it has been in previous years, says Chamber Executive Director Brandon Oates.

“We’re actually going to display it prominently in the middle of the field,” he says.

Entrees, appetizers and desserts will be included in the judging process. Professional basketball player and former point guard for The Ohio State University Aaron Craft has already been selected as a judge.
