News & Information from the Village of Marble Cliff
THE VILLAGE OF
MARBLE CLIFF
Benches, Bridges and Character Eagle Scout tackles Tarpy Woods improvements Once again, Marble Cliff is indebted to the leadership skills of an Eagle Scout candidate. While researching ideas for his Eagle Scout project, Grandview resident Kyle Modlich learned that benches in Tarpy Woods needed restoring, as did some wooden steps and a bridge. Kyle presented his plan and request for funding the cost of materials to Marble Cliff Village Council and received its unanimous approval. Following project approval from his scoutmaster, Hal Schofield, and the Boy Scout hierarchy, Kyle went to work determining the materials needed and organizing his workforce. “I definitely learned that planning is the key to a successful, smooth-running project,” Kyle says. “Although I’ve been part of previous Scout projects, I did not realize the hours needed to get ready or details to anticipate. Now I know what it takes to organize a project and carry it through to completion.” With good weather on Saturday, Oct. 20, and a full complement of Troop 73 members and their families, Kyle supervised the construction and installation of three new wooden benches in Tarpy Woods. The group met the next Saturday to improve some wooden steps on the Tarpy Woods path and a bridge across a stream. Those benches, steps and bridge had been built under the leadership of Eagle Scout candidates in years past. Kyle says he is pleased with the way things turned out. “Everything is very sturdy and should last for many more years,” he says. “I want to be sure to give special thanks to the Village and to all the volunteers who gave more than 70

hours of work. The project went very smoothly thanks to them and planning!” Marble Cliff Mayor Kent Studebaker praised Kyle’s efforts by saying, “The Village and the many area residents who enjoy our passive park in Tarpy Woods are grateful for Kyle’s leadership and congratulate him on his Eagle Scout achievement.” Kyle is the son of Patricia and Linus Modlich and a senior at Grandview Heights High School. He has been a member of Grandview’s varsity golf team, FIRST Robotics team and marching and concert bands. Kyle looks forward to pursuing an engineering degree at either Case Western Reserve University, The Ohio State University or the University of Dayton.
An unusual collaboration with nursing students promoted healthy lives in Marble Cliff. Last fall, when four Capital University senior nursing students approached the Village about sponsoring a free blood pressure screening for area residents and employees, Village officials embraced the idea. “At a time when the Village is working hard to manage services effectively and efficiently, we felt it was important to use the students’ expertise to focus on an area that needs everyone’s attention,” says Marble Cliff Mayor Kent Studebaker. With his support and that of the
Grandview Heights Public Library, nursing students Anne Koesters, Cassandra Mizer, Janet Jones and Elizabeth Schenerlein held the screening from 1-3:30 p.m. October 31 at the library. Thirty-six people received blood pressure information and screenings during those 2 ½ hours. “The feedback about our service and the information we distributed was positive,” says Jones, speaking for her fellow students. “We are very proud of what we accomplished with this community project. It was a pleasure doing it, especially with such an enthusiastic Village.”

OSU professor researches the connection between home layout and health Is it a little too easy to find your way to the fridge in the middle of the night? That’s one of the questions psychologist and Upper Arlington resident Charles Emery is trying to answer. Emery is leading a research team at The Ohio State University seeking to correlate personal health, diet and activities with the layout of homes. Emery, a professor of psychology and internal medicine at OSU, has spent the last 18 years researching behavioral and psychological factors that are associated with health conditions, eating, aging and activity, among other topics. He earned an undergraduate degree in psychology at Columbia University in New York City. “I considered the premed route, but my core interest was in brain function and mental health,” which he could best study through clinical psychology, Emery says. After graduation, he thought about switching fields to go into architecture and took an internship working on a model community being built in the desert near Phoenix, Ariz., in which housing was compacted into a small area. Emery’s current study ties back to his long-lived curiosity on the subject. “My interest in general is about health, but (the study) looks to my interest in architecture,” he says. Four of Emery’s research assistants, working in two-member teams, are visiting the homes of 100 central Ohio volunteers to document via photographs how home interiors, food storage areas and other architectural features, such as stairs, might affect access to food. Food purchases are catalogued and activities listed. In addition, researchers will measure volunteers’ cholesterol, blood sugar, body fat percentage and body sizes and question them about their stress and social support. For example, people may buy certain foods and store them near where
they spend their time, such as their favorite easy chair, Emery says. By next fall, Emery expects to report results of the project, which will look at “what extent environment affects health.” It’s a collaborative effort with Jack Nasar, a professor of architecture, and Diane Habash, a nutritionist in the OSU medical center, who will evaluate the data and draw any conclusions that might be reported. “(It’s) completely new territory for me,” says Emery. After leaving his internship in the desert, Emery earned his doctorate at the University of Southern California, during which time he met his wife, Edith Pattou, a library science major. Post-graduation, he took an internship at Denver University, then earned a fellowship at Duke University in Durham, N.C., where he worked in Duke’s behavioral aging center and health psychology programs until he became a faculty member in psychology. While there, he expanded his training into physical health outcomes and
collaborated on several studies examining the effects of physical exercise on psychological and cognitive functioning among healthy older adults. He also focused on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and how physical activity affected their psychological and cognitive functions. The couple’s move to Ohio was triggered when a former colleague, a Duke cardiologist with an interest in psychology, recommended Emery for a position at OSU. Emery was interviewed and accepted the job. At the time, he knew nothing about the state. “I was one of those people who flew over Ohio….I knew it was there,” Emery says. What drew him here? “(I was) really impressed with the resources” at the university’s medical facilities, Emery says. Since he arrived in 1995, Emery has published more than 50 papers and 15 book chapters, many co-authored with research assistants. He guides ongoing studies with those students working from a lab in the

Martha Morehead Medical Plaza, the university’s center for after-care of several issues, such lifestyle changes for stomach bypass surgery patients. He’s in the Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research but doesn’t work with patients. His students continually do research. Current projects are examining how continual use of pedometers impacts such psychological factors as the will to live or hope. Another study is of adolescent and adult cystic fibrosis patients and how disclosure and stigma of the disease affects their physical and mental health. Yet another study measures how those in weight loss programs are affected by the perceived stigma of obesity, their coping strategies and their knowledge about obesity. One of Emery’s earlier studies focused on how women dealt emotionally with congestive heart failure. It found that some women coped worse than others the more they knew about their affliction and that clinicians should consider patients’ ability to cope with their problem when discussing it with them. For some, more information is better, but “for patients who are greater in denial, knowledge seemed to be a negative factor,” Emery says. The professor says his research findings have been used across the board in the medical world: physicians, rehabilitation facilities, psychologists and other researchers. Findings about exercise for COPD patients have been used to develop guidelines for pulmonary rehabilitation programs. Emery and Pattou, author of three novels and a picture book, have lived in UA since they moved to central Ohio. Their daughter, Vita (Victoria), attended UA schools and is currently working an internship in Chicago as she prepares to seek a doctorate in psychology. Emery is cognizant of exercise. His wife and he usually walk for an hour after dinner. He sometimes walks to catch the university shuttle bus to campus or rides his bike. And while his main focus is research, Emery teaches one class each year about advanced aging and health. Duane St. Clair is a contributing editor.

The senior Capstone project, introduced six years ago, builds upon that foundation. “The Capstone project promotes the skills of collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and communication, which have been identified as essential for
post-secondary success,” says Capstone coordinator Yvonne Edwards. Students start working on their projects at the beginning of the school year by formulating an “essential question” that they will explore throughout the entire project. Ashley Williams started her project during her junior year, attending the Norman E. Borlaug International Symposium in Des Moines, Iowa, which is hosted by the World Food Prize, as one of six Ohio delegates. That event, where she met many international figures who were working to improve the
quality and quantity of food to people all over the world, plus an interest in art led her to ask the essential question, “How can I use art to raise awareness about global concerns?” She created necklaces out of recycled newspaper and started wearing them to school. Inspired by the interest of her peers, Williams visited Columbus-based Fair Trade store Global Gallery, which has locations in Clintonville and the Short North, and worked out a deal to sell the necklaces in support of the store director’s trips to Bolivia. “In the span of four months, I was close to raising $2,500 off of recycled newspaper, hemp and beads,” Williams says.
Proceeds from Ashley Williams’ newspaper necklaces helped fund the construction of a Bolivian orphanage. 16

The necklaces are made from hemp, beads and newspaper clippings from stories about people who are working toward positive world change.
Williams speaks to students at Hastings Middle School.
Each Capstone project includes a position paper, community service and a government connection assignment – identifying a social issue, researching how government has handled it and arguing how it would be best addressed – as well as creation of a product demonstrating what the student has learned and a 10-minute year-end presentation. So far, Williams has taught large groups of Jones and Hastings middle school students how to make her necklaces and www.trivillagemagazine.com
discussed marketing and selling the necklaces with smaller groups of students. “In one day, a group of fourth- and fifth-grade girls raised $450 for Bolivian orphans,” Williams says. Williams is working with copyright lawyers to create a for-profit company, El Cambio, that supports both entrepreneurs and nonprofit causes. Senior Corey Hayes’ project has had a more local effect. Hayes suffered six concussions throughout his junior high and high school sports careers, which left him with lasting effects, including damaged vision. After learning about an Ohio House bill setting rules for when and if student athletes can return to play after head injuries (House Bill 143), Hayes contacted his state representatives and got involved. “I was able to provide written testimony for the Senate Health Committee to help the bill get out of committee for a vote,” Hayes says. “It recently passed (the Senate) and I had the fortunate experience of going to the governor’s signing and helping him sign the bill.” For the rest of his project, Hayes plans to create a handbook on concussion prevention and education for referees, athletic trainers and parents.
The Wellington School Wellington seniors have two options for projects. Senior Independent Project, the older of the two programs, is similar to Upper Arlington’s Capstone project in that students develop an essential question related to their interests and spend as much as the whole school year working on a project. They are allowed the final two weeks of the school year to work solely on their projects and then present their work to the public on SIP night, this year scheduled for June 5. Senior Focus, now in its second year, is a course for which students must apply. They still pick an area of interest, but they spend the first half of the year working on a 15-20 page research paper and the second half on field work related to their research. Their projects finish with a 30-minute presentation and 45-minute question-and-answer session before a panel of experts. Prompted by the fourth annual TEDx Columbus event held in October, Alexandra Armeni decided to organize a TEDxYouth event at Wellington. TED is 17

a nonprofit organization that hosts conferences where people speak for 18 minutes on a variety of topics. TEDx events are independently-organized events in the same vein. Armeni’s event, TEDxYouth@WellingtonSchool, is scheduled from 8:30 a.m.12:30 p.m. May 15. “It’s focused on Big Ideas, and it’s going to incorporate people from the Wellington community,” Armeni says. Instead of 18-minute presentations, those chosen will give 10-minute presentations ranging from speeches to performances. Since her event takes place before the two-week period that SIP participants have out of classes, Armeni will spend that time formatting videos of the presentations, sending “Thank You” notes and administering surveys – all part of the guidelines she must follow as a TEDx event organizer. “I’ve never done anything like this before,” Armeni says. “It’s really opening my eyes to a lot of things.” Helen Fite chose to apply for Senior Focus because she knew it would push her outside her comfort zone. Her paper discusses the “glass ceiling” in place over women in politics, especially within the U.S. party system. “I’m interested in women in leadership. That’s definitely something that I want to do with my life,” Fite says. She’s been working with former state Rep. Dan Dodd (D) to reach out to women who have had experience in this area. Being part of the class, which provides a bit of structure and accountability for the project, has been helpful to Fite. Many schools focus more on teaching skills and don’t give students a chance to apply them, says Head of School Robert Brisk, who leads Senior Focus. “We want to give them a chance to use them in ways that are deeper and more meaningful. We wanted to give them space to explore that passion fully,” Brisk says.

Student Showcase Concourse Gallery features young talent
Upper Arlington’s Cultural Arts Division purchased Emerald Stag by Delaney Canton for its permanent collection.
When Jones Middle School art teacher Margaret Cloern gave her students the assignment to create a piece of artwork tied to African American culture, eighth-grader Andrew Kibbe had an idea. “I’ve always wanted to go to New Orleans. The culture and energy inspired me to do something unique,” Andrew says. The 14-year-old was inspired by this lifelong goal to create three voodoo dolls, something none of his classmates were interested in creating, he says. Two of the dolls are about 6 inches tall, and the third is a bit shorter. All three dolls are made out of reused materials. “I used all natural things like fabric from old clothes, jeans and sweaters and then covered them in moss,” Andrew says. Andrew’s dolls will be among some 300 two-dimensional and 60 three-dimensional pieces of artwork slated for display at the Concourse Gallery from April 1-25 as part of the gallery’s annual student showcase. Artwork from high school students from Upper Arlington High School and The Wellington School are on display March Andrew Kibbe’s voodoo dolls were inspired by his lifelong goal to visit New Orleans.

5-April 28. Work by middle school students from Hastings, Jones, St. Agatha, St. Andrew and Wellington will be on display in April. The gallery, located in the Upper Arlington Municipal Services Center, has 3,500 square feet available to display a variety of artwork. Media range from photography to graphics, paintings, sculptures and short films, says Lynette Santoro-Au, arts manager for the city’s Cultural Arts Division. “I’m amazed each year at the creativity of our students and teachers,” says Santoro-Au. Because each school is only allowed to submit a certain number of works for display, entries are juried by the teachers at each school. “Students are creating works in the classrooms and the teachers are selecting which pieces of work are shown in the gallery,” Santoro-Au says. Frequently, the high school student work displayed at the gallery is for sale. Teaching the students how to price their own work is one of the educational benefits of the show, Santoro-Au says. In fact, the city purchased a ceramic piece from last year’s show for display in its permanent collection, she says. The gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Recycle Rally
living By Sarah Sole
Trinity School is in the lead for $25,000 green improvement prize Disposables could turn into dollars for Trinity Catholic School, which is very close to winning the largest cash prize in a national recycling competition. Trinity Catholic, on Grandview Avenue, is in second place in its size bracket in the Dream Machine Recycle Rally. The competition, part of the Dream Machine program managed by PepsiCo, Waste Management and Keep America Beautiful, challenges schools to collect non-alcoholic plastic and aluminum beverage containers. At the end of each trimester (the most recent ended Feb. 14), the top three qualifying schools in each category receive $1,000 to be used for “green” improvements. After the contest’s conclusion on April 30, a $25,000 grand prize will be awarded to the top school in each of three brackets. Trinity is currently in second place behind St. Cornelius School in Chicago, which won last year and therefore isn’t eligible for the top prize for another two years.
Students Elaine Smith, Katie Smith, Ryan Schwirian, Lauren Minnich, Michael DeLuccia and Aaron Schwirian drop off bags of recyclables at Trinity Catholic School, which is currently in second place in the nationwide competition Dream Machine Recycle Rally.
To help prepare for a final push, Trinity Catholic will hold a recycle fest on April 27. While Trinity Catholic has participated in the Recycle Rally since the end of 2010, additional communication, via flyers and inclusion in the school’s regular communications to parents, helped motivate the student body to increase its collection this year. Susan Haninger, the school technology coordinator, is spearheading the program and estimates that students have collected at least three tons of beverage containers this year. “The teachers and parents are very important for us all (in this competition),” Haninger says. Seventh-grader Nathan Holewinski, sixthgrader Roman Helsel and fifth-grader Megan Hackman sort through their bags of non-alcoholic plastic and aluminum beverage containers.
www.trivillagemagazine.com
Last year, Trinity Catholic was awarded $1,000 in a trimester contest, which it spent on a window upgrade, and this year it won a Hitachi interactive whiteboard in the First Trimester Green Leader Sweepstakes. If Trinity Catholic wins $1,000 this year, Haninger wants to upgrade one of three drinking fountains. A water bottle filling station would reduce waste generation, she says. The $25,000 grand prize must be spent on green improvement. Upgrading the other two drinking fountains, purchasing more iPads to reduce paper consumption, adding more green space to school grounds and purchasing small in-classroom greenhouses are some options, Haninger says. For now, the school is keeping its eye on the prize as parents, students and teachers strive to earn more points. Students are motivated by incentives such as a non-uniform day in exchange for one bag of recycling. Parents and students often help sort, clean and weigh recyclables after 23

school. When a group helps out, the process can take less than half an hour, Haninger says. When the program was just beginning, she worked alone and obviously spent more time at the task. When she first entered the school in the Recycle Rally, Haninger says, her intention was not to make money, but to instill good recycling habits. Now, the practice is becoming more ingrained in families. “People are really changing. I think that’s really important,” she says. Missy Bishop, mother of fourth-grader Alyssa, says their family has always recycled. The family regularly generates one can of trash and two filled recycling bins per week. “It starts at home,” Bishop says. “It cuts down on our trash.” Last spring Bishop and her daughter collected bottles and cans out of public trash cans and participated in neighborhood cleanups. “We’re such a wasteful society,” Bishop says. Often when she goes to parks,

she will discover unopened bottles of pop and water. Alyssa says she is happy to do something positive for her school and the community. “I feel really good that we’re helping out,” the 10-year-old says. Dan Moretti, father of third-grader Dominic, first became involved last March, when he hauled recyclables in his pick-up truck. He has handled much of the Recycle Rally’s outreach efforts this year. Offering dress-down passes to kids who participate was his idea, and he even designed an informational flyer for parents that was handed out at school. “There weren’t that many people involved when we started this project back in September,” Moretti says. “(But) it’s been wonderful … I mean, I get excited.” Early in September, the school averaged about 100 pounds of cans and bottles per week, he says. Now it averages 500-700 pounds per week. Moretti often leaves a half an hour early to take his son to school, so they
have time to drop off their recycling. When his son goes to his grandmother’s house, he returns with her recycling. And Moretti visits car washes, where he is sometimes shocked by how much people waste. In one trip to a car wash, Moretti returned with 50 pounds of recyclables. Moretti and his wife have also used their business to help generate recycling collection for the school. At Grow Yoga, their Grandview Heights studio, they offer a free class for a 30-gallon bag of recyclables. Since they started the program about nine months ago, they’ve given away 47 free classes. Dominic Moretti feels good about his family’s contributions. “I think it’s really cool,” he says. Sarah Sole is a contributing writer. Feedback welcome at laurand@city scenemediagroup.com.

Coffee roasting company operates from an unusual location

There’s nothing shady going on in the back room of the Trek Bicycle Store at 1442 W. Lane Ave., but something dark is brewing. Trek shop owner Chris Bishop opened Backroom Coffee Roasters, a wholesale coffee operation, in 2010, selling a variety of blends to individuals as well as local markets and cafes. Bishop started home roasting his own coffee in earnest just two years before opening his business. His interest in roasting his own beans started because he “just wanted to be able to drink good coffee.” There were few coffee places near where he lived that he enjoyed, so he began to roast his own. His first attempt at roasting about seven years ago ended worse than he intended. Bishop describes it as “cowboy coffee.” He used a cast iron skillet over an open flame and ended up burning the whole batch. www.trivillagemagazine.com
Top: Construction is underway on the coffee tasting bar planned for the front of the Trek Bicycle Store. The bar is scheduled to open in March. Bishop keeps beans in plastic tubs. He uses a gas-flame roasting machine connected with a computer program to cook the beans to the proper flavor.
The move from home to back room did not start as a grand idea. Bishop was about to open a new Trek location, but the building was a bit too big for just the bike shop. After considering other options, he came up with the idea of moving and expanding his roasting operation in the extra space. “There was no magic moment that I can remember,” Bishop says. “It was a good opportunity to have fresh roasted coffee where people drink it the most – at home.” Though the two shops are separate entities, there is a definitive bond between them. Some of the roast names are bicycle themed, such as the most popular full city roast (a moderately dark roast), the Biker Blend. Other titles are whimsical, such as the Horse, a bold French roast, or reference the beans’ country of origin, such as Kenya aa, a medium roast with lemon and wine undertones. “I just dream them up,” Bishop says. “(Backroom Coffee Roasters) started off as a hobby business and you have to have fun with it. It’s more authentic that way.” The roast process itself is a combination of art and science. Bishop starts with natural green coffee beans. As with wine seasons, each variety of bean is different and changes each year, so the roasting process has a lot of trial and error until the best combination can be found. He uses a drum roaster, a rotating drum over gas valves similar to a gas grill, which keeps the beans stirred and evenly roasted. The roaster is preheated depending on the roast level he wishes to achieve – lower temperatures for lighter roasts, higher for darker. The roasting itself takes around 15 minutes. www.trivillagemagazine.com

Left: When the beans first arrive, they come packed in burlap sacks. Right: Bishop and his mother, Trish Bishop, pack up the different roasts to send to customers, including several central Ohio coffee shops. Cues from the beans are their first and second cracks. As moisture starts to escape the bean, the cells expand and pull apart. This creates a cracking sound from each bean. The second crack is the moisture releasing after the beans have been roasted for a bit. Stopping the roasting process after the first crack creates a lighter roast, while waiting until just after the second crack creates a much darker roast and darker flavor. “There’s no hard and fast rule to coffee,” Bishop says. After the beans have been roasted to the correct temperature, they are poured in a cooler that spins and cools them by quickly drawing the hot air out. Then they are ready to be packaged. Bishop plans to add a small coffee bar to his Trek operation in early March. “It’s more like a tasting room for a brewery instead of a coffee shop,” Bishop says. The self-serve coffee bar will host a rotating roast featuring the beans he is currently roasting. Backroom Coffee Roasters also sells bags at retail prices online at www.backroomcoffeeroasters.com.
