Please give today.

Brady’s ready for the sledding hill.

Your gift helps us get kids home for the holidays.

Brady has cancer. Surgeons at Nationwide Children’s Hospital removed a fast-growing tumor during a 10-hour surgery, followed by six rounds of chemo. Is he resting quietly?

Well, that’s just not who Brady is. He’s a 5-yearold boy who would love nothing more than to be home. At the top of the sledding hill with his friends from the neighborhood.

WHY GIVE NOW? For every child, who hopes to go home soon, we know many children will be spending the holidays here with us at Nationwide Children’s. But if you make a gift to us right now, we’ll do everything in our power to make sure they’re home soon. So please, give what you can. And hurry. Because these kids need you now.

76 gO giRLS

by Kristen Schmidt For more than 100 years, the Columbus School for Girls has prepared young women for college and careers, much of the time ensconced behind a brick wall on Broad Street in Bexley. The school has a reputation for sky-high tuition, academic rigor and being a favored institution for privileged Columbus girls. That’s all true, but it’s only part of the story.

82 JeNi'S 2.0

by Michelle Sullivan Jeni Britton Bauer and her inventive, addictive ice cream have become national phenoms. Some people would seize the opportunity of fame and escape the confines of a hometown. Instead, she’s digging in deeper to Columbus and outstretching the now powerful hand of her business to other likeminded artisans.

UP FRONT The Shape of the City

Kristen Schmidt kschmidt@columbusmonthly.com @MonthlyEditor 14

Where I’m headed this month: 1. Listening in to TedXColumbusWomen speakers at the Columbus Foundation on Dec. 5. Local speakers will focus on the theme “Invented Here,” as will speakers at TedXWomen in San Francisco; the event in Columbus includes a live webcast from California. tedxcolswomen.com 2. Braving the crowds at Holiday Hop on Dec. 7, hoping to find the perfect gifts for friends and family. shortnorth.org 3. Taking in holiday movie favorites on the big screen. The Gateway Film Center screens classics such as “White Christmas” and “It’s A Wonderful Life,” and admission is free with a toy donation to the Open Shelter. gatewayfilmcenter.com 4. Warming up the ol’ vocal cords for ProMusica Chamber Orchestra’s sing-along version of Handel’s Messiah on Dec. 13 at the acoustically pristine Southern Theatre. Tickets are $25. promusicacolumbus.org 5. Continuing what’s become a New Year’s Eve tradition with friends: a decadent dinner at home, followed by games, conversation and maybe (if we can stay upright) a midnight toast.

To help his naive suburban Teenager look not quite so out of place on the wide sidewalks of Chicago, my dad offered some sage advice: Don’t look up at the buildings. Gawking at the Sears Tower was the move of a rube too unaccustomed to skyscrapers to take them for granted.

Thankfully, I’m not one for self-preservation.

Ogle openly I did, at buildings by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Louis Sullivan. I would loiter in the Tribune Tower lobby en route to Michigan Avenue window shopping just to look at the architectural details inside. How could these buildings ever be less than extraordinary?

The habit persists, and, whether jogging along the Scioto Mile or riding shotgun cruising into the city along I-70, my eyes are constantly drawn upward to the Columbus skyline. Some people think it’s unremarkable, even forgettable; every city has a few regrettable buildings. But there is so much architectural treasure to uncover.

If you can, find a copy of the “AIA Guide to Columbus,” a book that acts as both a field guide to buildings and a primer for Columbus architecture appreciation. It has been a constant companion, lending stories about stately homes and skyscrapers alike. It’s a great starting place for an education on how Columbus was built and who did the creative heavy lifting.

When I came to the city a few years ago, I even found a familiar name in those pages.

Daniel Burnham, the architect and city planner whose ideas reshaped Chicago after the Great Fire of 1871, designed two significant buildings in Columbus: the Wyandotte Building at 21 W. Broad St., which is still standing, and the Union Station Arcade, which is not. Just one arch was saved when the arcade was demolished in 1976; that’s the one you see in McFerson Commons near Nationwide Arena. The arcade does live on—in the I-670 cap, which architect David Meleca scaled based on measurements taken from the remaining original arch.

For this month’s cover story (page 64), we found these and so many other fascinating stories of how Columbus came to be shaped the way it is today. We hope you enjoy gazing at these buildings, on the page and from the sidewalk, just as much as we have.

s m a l l ta l k letters and chatter about Columbus Monthly Westerville’s No. 1 Westerville residents got a boost of hometown pride in October, when real estate website Movoto named it the best suburb in America. An analysis in Columbus Monthly (May 2013, “Best Suburbs”) did not reach the same conclusion. A few people took the opportunity to rib us a bit. “Boy, did you guys blow it on your [May] cover story.

How about a mea culpa?” wrote George Mackey.

they’re kiNd of a big deal When we cooked up the idea to ask local anchors to myth-bust “Anchorman” Ron Burgundy’s antics, we weren’t sure our local news anchors would go for it. Boy, were we wrong.

Anchors from all our local network affiliates were game, and they clearly had fun with their answers (page 24).

Our only regret: We couldn’t fit them all in the story. But we’ll sneak in a couple outtakes here: Myth: Some broadcasters will read anything on the teleprompter.

Sorry, George. Just as there is more than one way to skin a cat, there is more than one way to employ statistics to arrive at a conclusion. Our method, a factor analysis performed by an emeritus professor at Ohio State University, used housing, education and crime data to rank 19 Columbus suburbs, all with populations greater than 5,000 people. Movoto started with the three largest suburbs surrounding each of the 25 largest cities in the country and then ranked them across criteria including amenities, cost of living, crime, education and employment. They used some of the same sources we did, including the U.S. Census.

We reached different outcomes (New Albany was No. 1 in our rankings, and Westerville was No. 10) with different information and different methods, but I guarantee we’re both confident in the results.

“I’ve actually started a newscast with, ‘Good Evening, I’m Martie Salt’ (his female coanchor), just because it was in the prompter and my brain was in Maui,” says Bob Kendrick of ABC6/FOX28.

“Yes,” says 10TV News anchor Angela An. “Rickita-lickita-stickita.

Ryan Vesler’s story is inspiring, as is ‘44 Ways to Give.’ I have read it cover-to-cover. Keep up the good work!” Even our moms don’t send us notes like that. dressed for success T. Marzetti asked us to clarify a detail in our Made in Columbus cover story, in which we reported the company makes 41 dressings sold in all 50 states. That’s not quite right—the 41 dressings mentioned refer only to the “refrigerated Marzetti Classics and Simply Dressed lines,” not the sum total of the company’s dressing offerings. Variety is indeed the key to happy salads.

Myth: Suit shopping can bring a man out of a funk.

“You know what, I do think it’s healthy to invest in a new suit. But in terms of organized field trips to buy new suits?” says Jerod Smalley of NBC4 Sports. “Yeah, that’s never happened.”

For Love of The Game OSU alum Katie Smith comes home

K

atie Smith deflects a compliment like an opponent’s shot. The first female athlete to have her number retired at Ohio State, Smith won two WNBA championships, has three Olympic gold medals and—if you count her American Basketball League career—is women’s basketball’s all-time leading scorer.

Yet she is decidedly unflashy. For the Logan native, who quietly retired this year, it’s always been about the game. Here, she dishes on going back to school and her prospects as a coach. tTom Tiberio

photo: tessa berg

Ever since college, Columbus has been home, whether I’ve been here or not. Your connections, your family, the university. It’s kind of who you are.

Right now, the plan is to coach as an assistant for the New York Liberty over the summer. I’m finishing grad school [at OSU] to be a registered dietitian in the spring.

I really would like to pursue

something at Ohio State, possibly be the female version of Eddie George’s position.

Basketball’s given me so much. I’m thankful for every opportunity that I’ve had. So many people had a hand in what I’ve done. Like most of us, you do what you do because you love it. The accolades, or the extras, are kind of a bonus.

Don’t get me wrong, you do want to be acknowledged.

But all the attention makes me a little ... I’m more of a deflector. I would imagine it’s mostly just where I’m from and how I was raised. You do a good job, you do your work, whether anybody’s watching you or not.

It was the ultimate honor to put on the red, white and blue. And to know, we can flat-out say, we’re the best in the world. To represent Logan. And Ohio State, and Ohio, and my family.

For me, the WNBA is not just about basketball.

It’s all about opportunities.

Whatever you can dream of, having that opportunity to go out and pursue it.

But at the end of the day, it’s gonna take a lot of hard work.

Take It To Go We love to share things in Columbus.

Buses, bikes, cab fares (see story below)— and now cars with Car2go. The concept: Hop in one of the 200-odd Smart cars parked about town, drive it and leave it almost anywhere afterward. You don’t have to pay to park, gas is included and anyone 18 and older can use one—for three blocks or 300 miles. We wanted more details, too, so we tried it for ourselves. tMichelle Sullivan Get started Use a credit card to pay the $35 sign-up fee at columbus.car2go.com. While you wait a few days for the member card you’ll use to access the cars, download the Car2go app to your smartphone. It’ll come in handy later.

drive it After you place your member card near the digital reader on the windshield and open the door, Car2go’s touch-screen navigation panel and voiceover control give you instructions. Smart cars don’t have much pick-up, but they’re easy to operate. Ideal for one-way trips and errands for anyone sans automobile, the

cars also cover “that first and last mile” of a commute to a bus stop or park-andride, Hill says. “A dollar trip can save you a mile walk.” Take it anywhere, but bring it back to the home area (the 30-squaremile zone from German Village to Morse Road, viewable online) before you park it for good.

Park it Car2go vehicles park for free in public spots—even at meters. For a mid-trip stop, park anywhere you’d normally park, including private lots and garages (just be prepared to pay for those). Lock the car and take the keys with you to indicate to

other Car2go users the car is unavailable.

Word to the wise: Have an idea where to park beforehand. “It’s a little rough Downtown, and we’re working out a way to make it better,” Hill says. Remember, you’re paying for time spent circling for a spot.

Pay For it Once you scan your member card to unlock the Smart car, your meter starts and runs until you end your trip. Car2go automatically charges your account 38 cents per minute plus tax for time spent driving or in a stopover. Rates go down when a trip exceeds one hour.

Hailing a cab is so last year. Now commuters and barhoppers can secure a ride in seconds with just a smartphone thanks to a service new to Columbus. Trending in cities including New York, Chicago and Charlotte, Uber users request an on-demand, livery-licensed driver in a luxury sedan or SUV through the free mobile app, which also tracks the driver’s progress and previews the fare. Uber charges your credit card post-trip (no need to tip) and even lets you split the bill with friends. It’s most reliable closer to the city center, but Columbus operations manager Matt Whiffen says Uber is sending more cars to the suburbs each day. uber.com tMichelle Sullivan

Find it If you’re in the city core, you’ll be surprised by how many cars there are (Car2go plans to have a fleet of 250 by the end of the year, says Columbus manager Nick Hill) and how close they can be. Use the app or website to view available cars in your area. View a car’s fuel level and call dibs on one up to 30 minutes before you need to drive.

you ou Stay Classy, Columbus It’s a fact. There’s something inherently intriguing about newscasters, and the cult following behind the movie that brought us Ron Burgundy only reinforces that. In honor of “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues” and to separate broadcast fact from fiction, we talked to some real-life anchors in Columbus. You may recognize them. They’re kind of a big deal. t Tom Tiberio

Myth: Broadcasters warm up with tongue-twisters.

Myth: Some broadcasters will read anything that is put on the teleprompter. A-n-y-t-h-i-n-g.

“A former co-anchor of mine was reading a story about a robbery suspect … At the end, he said, ‘Call plice if you’ve seen something,’ because the ‘o’ was missing. During break, he said, ‘Why did you laugh?’”—Carolyn Bruck, ABC6/FOX28 “Rarely is there such a thing as a clean newscast. There’s always going to be something that goes wrong. It’s our job to make sure that viewers don’t even see that.”—Jerry Revish

Myth: It’s all about the hair.

“It’s a very cosmetic business inherently.

We get emails all the time––about hair and clothes and the makeup. Viewers are very interested in what you’re wearing and how you look.”—Marshall McPeek

“Don’t touch Jeff Hogan’s hair. Enough said.”—Angela An, 10TV News

“No. But you know what’s funny, since the movie came out, I think that a lot of people that work in this business will think of things like, ‘How now brown cow.’ And in those moments waiting around to do a live shot jokingly do that. At least I find myself doing it––‘The arsonist has oddly shaped feet.’ ”—Jerod Smalley, NBC4 Sports

Myth: Rival news stations hate each other and are protective of their “turf.”

“It gets competitive, but I have never been in a rumble.”—Ellie Merritt, NBC4

“I’ve worked in a bunch of markets, and everybody is competitive. We all want to win. The ratings are very important. But at the same time, we’re all colleagues.

While there’s plenty of competition, you run into folks in the field and at events, and everybody’s friendly.”

—Marshall McPeek, meteorologist, ABC6/FOX28

Myth: Anchors will sometimes trash-talk after the mic is killed at the end of a newscast.

“No trash-talking, but definitely jokes, especially with our studio crew. They keep us on our toes.”—Angela An

“On a typical night, when the mics are off, our studio is a non-stop teasing, editorializing, politically incorrect, gallows-humored, high-volume, verbal rumpus room. We should charge admission.”

—Bob Kendrick, ABC6/FOX28

Myth: It’s important for an anchor to have a catchy sign-off.

“I have gotten to where I sign off every 11 o’clock newscast with, ‘Have a good night and sweet dreams.’

I don’t know, one day, one evening it just came to me.

We were leaving our viewers, and we were the last thing they saw before turning in for the night.”—Jerry Revish

24

“I have never had a sign-off line. Usually, ‘good night’ will suffice. Although … maybe I should try, ‘Stay classy, Columbus.’ What do you think?”—Ellie Merritt

photo: top right, paramount p pictures

“It all depends on the person. Sometimes we’re sitting here reading our copy out loud at our desk. You don’t want to go on the air cold. Sometimes I will find myself opening my mouth in a way to make sure I get it around the words and make sure every word stands on its own.”—Jerry Revish, 10TV News

CityJournal|Music Apollo’s Fire

Early Music in Columbus has brought international talent to the city for more than 30 years

T

he instrumentalists start with a slow intro, gradually building to a female singer’s vocal entry with a delicate but full sound that’s almost haunting. One singer then becomes many as the choir crescendos to the song’s climax, all while the audience remains as silent as if the cathedral’s dark wood pews were empty. The start of this Apollo’s Fire performance is like most classical concerts—except you can’t understand the words to the Gaelic songs, and you may not recognize some of the instruments.

Cleveland orchestra Apollo’s Fire specializes in baroque period music and will perform “Sacrum Mysterium: A Celtic Christmas” Dec. 6 at First Congregational Church Downtown, the latest installation in the Early Music in Columbus series. The series, which began in 1980 at Capital University, brings at least six medieval, Renaissance and baroque groups from around the world to Columbus each year.

Early Music program director Katherine Wolfe admits the series appeals to a niche audience. But she also points out that early music includes a wide range of cultures, styles and instruments, like recorders, lutes, early violins, harpsichords, bagpipes, shawms and crumhorns.

“The period of music we’re talking about covers maybe 800, 900 years,” Wolfe says.

“Sometimes the music is more serious with more of a religious aspect to it. But there are some concerts that are more light-hearted and might have some lyrics that border on risque.”

For a concert series in its 34th season, Early Music has somewhat flown under the radar.

“A lot of times people come [to a concert], and they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is so fabulous. I had no idea this even existed in Columbus,’ ” Wolfe says. “But I think part of it is that people have to be looking for this or have an interest in it.”

Ronald Cook, one of the founders of Early Music in Columbus and director of local ensemble The Early Interval, says Columbus is one of the few cities around the country that has an early music concert series.

“To have a series like this in Columbus, it’s quite a testament to the strength of the arts culture here,” Cook says. earlymusicincolumbus.com t Emily Thompson 26

Basic Training

P

Thanks to the fun factor—and its effectiveness— boot camp-style exercise is gaining recruits

A

The formula for most boot camp-style classes is basic: Go hard, rest, repeat. It’s straightforward, it’s fun and there’s a reason it’s gaining more and more followers—it works. Just don’t call it a trend. “I don’t see this kind of training going away,” says Steven Devor, associate professor of kinesiology at Ohio State University. “Boot camps are really a larger part of the functional-fitness picture, and people are finally starting to get it.”

Functional fitness means getting people off traditional weight machines and moving them toward exercises that involve compound, multi-joint movements. This high-intensity interval training works the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems simultaneously—think burpees, push-ups, rope-climbing, box jumps and tire flips.

We investigated three boot camp-style classes in Columbus so you can find the one that’s right for you. ▼Jenny Rogers

Four-Week Boot Camp

Where: Buckeye Kettlebells (1110 Claycraft Rd., Ste. B, Gahanna)

Where: Xtreme Fitness Boot Camp with Bobby Steiner (Four Seasons Golf & Fitness Center, 5000 E. Broad St.)

Perfect for: The exercise lover who wants to increase strength while nursing an injury, athletes who want stronger back muscles Details: Kettlebell training, which originated in Russia, focuses on strength while incorporating cardio. It’s a simple workout of basic movements (a highlight is the Kettlebell Snatch, which burns up to 20 calories a minute), and it can increase flexibility and improve posture. It’s also easier on the joints than other boot camp-style workouts without sacrificing intensity.

Sweat factor: “On a scale of one to 10, I can give you a workout that’s a 12,” says Dave Clancy, who founded Buckeye Kettlebells in 2008. “But nine out of 10 times, I want people to walk out fresh and feeling good. I have a 75-year-old doing this workout!”

30

Perfect for: Results trackers, workout fanatics who need a strict schedule Details: Steiner’s four-week boot camp is a glorious mix of weight-lifting, cardio and old-fashioned fun, from ladder drills and box jumps to stair sprints and extreme core exercise. Each day of the week is dedicated to a specific workout (Wednesday is “leg day,” the biggest calorie-burner). “In addition to the fitness training, you become incredibly skilled at exercises you likely weren’t familiar with before,” Steiner says. “Spend a year with me, and you’ll be proficient in Olympic lifts that you haven’t even heard of.”

Sweat factor: “I’m not cracking a whip, but I’ve put together an insurmountable amount of work, and you do what you can,” Steiner says. “I can’t imagine anything that’s more difficult, unless you’re not trying.”

Ladies Only Where: Better Body Boot Camp for Women,

by Nancy Eisenman (foreverfitbynancy.com) Perfect for: First-timers and experienced exercisers alike Details: “There’s a fun quotient,” says Nancy Eisenman of her boot camp, which, when weather permits, is held outdoors. “Sometimes it’s more about strength, other times endurance. But I keep the intensity up.” No two of Eisenman’s exercises are the same in any given week, but she does have favorites: lunges, squats, barre-style exercise and the ever-present burpee. She promises you’ll see a noticeable shift in the shape of your body within the first few weeks.

Sweat factor: “Because I’m a woman and my camps are geared toward women, I’ve designed the workout specifically for them,” Eisenman says. “We’re not climbing walls and throwing tires.

We’re strengthening and toning.”

Don’t want to brave the elements for this year’s count?

If you live within the designated count circle, you may be able to participate right from your backyard. Here are four popular species to spot in winter and how to attract them.

whitebreasted nuthatCh

Bird’s-Eye View Each year around Christmastime, tens of thousands of volunteers—dubbed “citizen scientists”—flock outdoors in the name of conservation. This month will mark the 114th Christmas Bird Count, an event organized by the National Audubon Society that serves as a sort of bird census. The tally, which occurs across the country over a three-week period, takes place on Dec. 15 in Columbus. Teams of volunteers will spread out in a 15-mile radius (the center point is near the intersection of Cassady Avenue and East Fifth Avenue) and count anything with feathers. Senior editor Tom Tiberio caught up with Rob Thorn, the compiler for the count for the last 15 years, in between outings. columbusaudubon.org where are you right now?

I’m at O’Shaughnessy [Reservoir]. I’m in my car to stay out of the wind. how long has the christmas bird count been going on in this area?

Columbus has had counts going back to the ’40s, but they didn’t really standardize them until, I think, the mid- or late ’60s. where does columbus fit into the larger picture when it comes to winter migration for birds?

We’re kind of between two routes.

There’s a big route that runs down the East Coast, called the Eastern Flyway.

And there’s a big flight path a little bit to the west of us, where birds funnel down the Mississippi Valley. So we don’t get enormous flocks. What we do get is little bits of both. Our diversity is just as good as either of those spots.

32

we heard that you had record numbers last year.

We actually had 89 species, which was nine species beyond our previous high. We have slowly started to realize that we do have really unusual birds, and if we work hard enough, we can find them. Over the last 10, 12 years, every year we’ve found some really knockout birds. Six or seven years ago, we found a Rufus hummingbird, which is a rare hummingbird from the West.

caroliNa chickadee, white-breaSted Nuthatch, tuFted titmouSe Food: All three of these birds––often seen at the feeder together––like black oil and striped sunflower seeds, peanuts and suet, says Tom Sheley, owner of Wild Birds Unlimited.

Shelter: Feeders designed just for these small clinging birds will exclude larger birds such as starlings, grackles, pigeons and doves, Sheley says. He suggests setting up feeders out in the open, 8 to 10 feet away from the nearest tree or fence to protect against predators.

tufted titmouse

NortherN cardiNal Food: “The quintessential suburban backyard bird,” cardinals also like both types of sunflower seeds as well as safflower seeds, Sheley says.

Shelter: Because they’re larger, cardinals need a bigger perching space. Sheley points out they prefer brushy, shrubby areas.

The edge between a woodlot and a field, which most people’s backyards simulate, is a natural spot for them.

FOur Calling Birds

what do you think is the biggest draw?

For most people, it’s just a fun way of getting out. This is the time when they can count all their backyard birds and walk around their neighborhood and badger their neighbors. This is the one day a year when all those house finches at your feet actually count for something.

➊ Honey Grove Botanicals Everything in this tiny candle and apothecary shop is made with natural ingredients by owner Barb Drobnick.

Every concoction is “born out of necessity,” she says, from her botanical facial serum with hydrating oils to her icy mint body soak with spearmint and bergamot for sore muscles. Make-and-take herbal bath salts and teas (from $6.99) are a fun way to personalize a moment of relaxation.

➋ Lola and Giuseppe’s Trattoria For years, former pastry chef Lola Iacobone and her Italian husband Giuseppe (Joe) have cooked signature dishes, such as eggplant parmesan and their buzzed-about meatballs, straight from his mother’s recipes. Although portions are heaping, it’s tough not to lick the plate—or turn down the tiramisu. 100 Granville St., 614-473-9931, lolas-italian.com ➌ Koko This charming tea salon and bakery mimics a Parisian patisserie, with rose-colored walls and homemade cakes, macarons and truffles.

Set in an old Victorian house, Koko offers custom blends of hot, cold and bubble teas, as well as the 120 cupcake flavors for which

owner Ava Misseldine is known (her red velvet cupcake was featured on the Food Network’s “Best Thing I Ever Ate”). All her baked goods are organic, and fruit and vegetable juices are used in lieu of artificial dyes. 116 Mill St., 614-389-3459 ➍ Upscale Resale Furnishings Since it opened 16 years ago, June Axline’s furniture resale store has developed quite a following. Pieces by Ethan Allen, Sherrill Furniture and Thomasville are among those that can be found for a fraction of the original cost. Items are marked down every 30 days, but Axline warns against playing that game: “If you love it, don’t wait.” Most pieces sell within 60 days. 57 Granville St., 614-476-4070, upscaleresalefurnishings.com

To cap the night, partygoers danced and swayed to the musical stylings of the VaudVillities. The annual Savor the City event benefits the Columbus Historical Society. columbushistory.org

1.

Ask your doctor questions about your diagnosis and treatment. Keep asking questions every step of the way until you’re satisfied with the answers.

Published studies show that misdiagnosis

2.

Get a second – or third, or fourth – opinion. Given today’s misdiagnosis rates, you become your own best health advocate by actively seeking the right answers for your particular condition.

3.

Take the time to get to know your family medical history – and make sure your doctor knows about it. If you search for “My Family Health Portrait” on Google you’ll find a handy online tool from the U.S. Surgeon General to assemble your own family medical history.

4.

Take someone with you to doctor’s visits. Bring along a friend or family member to remind you of questions you want to ask, and to help you write down important notes.

5.

If you had a biopsy and your diagnosis is based on your pathology report, try to get it reviewed again.

If that interpretation is wrong, your diagnosis – and your treatment – could likely be wrong, too.

“We all have the power to make a real difference in our own care or that of a loved one.”

David Seligman, Chairman and CEO at Best Doctors, Inc.,

Despite the best efforts of dedicated, time-strapped doctors, misdiagnosis still happens far too often. In today’s overburdened health care system, it’s harder than ever to have enough time to do the deep thinking needed to carefully examine each piece of a patient’s case.

From a care and policy perspective, there is much that can and should be done to acknowledge and address the problem, but the private sector is taking proactive steps to combat the issue. Many of the world’s leading corporations and health plans are offering expert second opinions and other services such as helping employees find the right doctor or decide on the best treatment options, in an effort to ensure that employees get the right diagnosis.

The truth is everyone must be involved when it comes to getting the right diagnosis – doctors, patients, hospitals, employers, insurers and policymakers alike.

Misdiagnosis doesn’t have to happen. We all have the power to make a real difference in our own care or that of a loved one.

David Seligman Chairman and CEO

A Walk in Thurber’s Footsteps Writer, humorist and favorite native son James Thurber mined his hometown over and over again in his work. As his star rises again (this time at the box office), visit some of the places that surely inspired him

By Peter tonguette his month brings “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” starring Ben Stiller as the teller of tall tales, to the big screen.

While Stiller is the face of the film, its bones come courtesy of James Thurber (18941961), who wrote the short story for The New Yorker.

This is the second shot Hollywood has taken at adapting “Walter Mitty” (a 1947 version starred Danny Kaye). Before we let Tinseltown take Thurber for its own, however, we would do well to remember he was born and raised in Columbus, a background he rehashed in a slew of stories and cartoons.

“It just keeps coming back,” says local historian and Thurber aficionado James R. Tootle. “It’s just something that he mined for years, going on to his New Yorker career. Long after he left Columbus, he just kept drawing on [it for] these stories.”

Tootle attributes their timeless quality to the middle-American character of his hometown. As he puts it, “Columbus is just such a typical American city.”

One of Thurber’s most famous anthologies is titled “My World—and Welcome to It.” Despite his journeying, it is clear his world, in many ways, is our world.

The two-story, red-brick house where Thurber was born on Dec. 8, 1894, was distinguished mainly by its generous front porch and peaked roof. After the construction of Interstate 71 in the 1960s, the house was no more. But by then, the Thurber family was long gone—they moved when James was still a tot.

“His father was active in Republican Party politics, so when his party won, he had a good job,” Tootle says. But as political fortunes changed, so did the family’s residence. “As those elections happen, local and national, sometimes the family is doing fine,” he says. “And then they get voted out, and then they’ve got to hunt out something else.” By Tootle’s count, the family lived in at least nine other places between 1899 and 1913.

Thurber did not cut the apron strings during his time at Ohio State, residing with his parents at this address. “The significance of this particular house is most of the stories of ‘My Life and Hard Times’… were written about when he lived in this house,” says Anne Touvell, director of operations at Thurber House, which has doubled as a museum and literary center since 1984. “So ‘The Night the Bed Fell,’ that happened in the attic. ‘The Night the Ghost Got In,’ [the ghost] ran up the back stairs we walk up and down every day.” The input of one of Thurber’s brothers, Robert, was solicited on decor items from wallpaper to rugs to ensure the house resembled the one that provided Thurber with so much raw material.

At first, Thurber did not apply himself at Ohio State. “One entire year, he just kind of dropped out and didn’t tell anybody,” Tootle says, adding that he traded the classroom for the public library.

By his senior year, boosted by his membership in Phi Kappa Psi, he was one of 16 students selected to join the Sphinx honorary society. Spots throughout campus acknowledge Thurber, but one recent addition is a limestone panel on the south side of the new Ohio Union, which features his likeness. “We chose Thurber, Bellows and Lichtenstein to represent Ohio artists, as they embodied various areas of art,” says the Ohio Union’s Beth Ullum.

Phi KaPPa Psi fraternity

Thurber’s admission to Phi Kappa Psi (still housed in the same building that it was in the teens) was an especially meaningful event for him. “A lot of those fraternity brothers that he had remained friends throughout his life,” Tootle says. Foremost among them was playwright (and later film director) Elliott Nugent. More sociable than Thurber, Nugent coaxed his chums into letting the nascent scribe in. “Some of the fellas weren’t sure who he was or why or whatever, and then [Nugent] really made the case,” Tootle says. “He said, ‘He’s a little shy and you may not know him, but boy, this guy is just really good.’”

Thurber’s gravestone, Tootle says, is “just a small, unpretentious stone,” located near the main building at Green Lawn Cemetery.

A small marker, perhaps, for a Columbus native who truly made it big.

It seems newspapers were part of the marrow of the Thurber family. “Thurber and his brothers and his dad would do a lot of newspaper contests, where there’d be some kind of a puzzle in the newspaper and you’d figure it out,” says Tootle, adding that one 1916 Columbus Monitor contest netted tickets to the World Series. After leaving Ohio State, Thurber found work at The Columbus Dispatch, but the paper’s quick-turnaround deadlines would haunt him. “Whenever I’m in the Midwest, I still wake up with a start, wondering what time it is and thinking I have to cover City Hall by one o’clock,” he told The Columbus Dispatch Magazine in 1959, by which time the paper had moved from East Gay Street to South Third Street.

For about a decade in the 1940s and 1950s, Thurber’s mother and brother Robert set themselves up in what was then the Great Southern Hotel. There is a lesson here: If you stay long enough at a hotel, you just might get a bar named after you. In tribute to the Thurber family’s association with the hotel, the Westin Columbus operates Thurber’s Bar (the logo for which features Thurber’s famed round spectacles). The Westin’s Phil BeMiller says the Thurber artwork featured on its walls constitutes “the second largest collection of such work in the country.”

After Thurber penned a play, could he really have premiered it anywhere but Columbus? Thus, “A Thurber Carnival” (which subsequently won a Tony Award) debuted at the Hartman Theatre on Jan. 7, 1960. During its heyday, the theater hosted out-of-town tryouts for a dazzling array of shows, including William Inge’s “Picnic,” starring Paul Newman. Open since 1911, the Hartman became the go-to place for plays during an era when many other local theaters were switching to film exhibition. “It maintained live theater,” says local historian Dick Barrett. The Hartman building was demolished in 1971, and the Hyatt on Capitol Square sprang up in its place.

The Bailiff Who KneW Too Much Retired Air Force Col. Linda Murnane, who works in the Franklin County Municipal Court, might be the most overqualified bailiff in the country By Joel oliphint

ithout Judge Anne Taylor’s frequent smiles, affirming nods and patient explanations, courtroom 4C of the Franklin County Municipal Court would not be a particularly cheery place. Unlike the neighboring Franklin County Courthouse’s high-tech courtrooms and ample natural light, the municipal building is dark and musty. Well-worn wooden benches and marked-up walls expose its 35-year history.

On a September morning in 4C, Taylor warmly addresses defendants and informs them of their options regarding charges such as disorderly conduct and driving under the influence. Taylor’s new bailiff, Linda Murnane, sits to her left preparing documents in blue case folders and speaking quietly with defendants after their cases are heard.

A bailiff ’s duties can vary, but for Murnane it mostly involves preparing entries for Taylor’s signature, scheduling trial dates, legal research, jury assistance and general troubleshooting. It’s a vital but humble position. You wouldn’t expect, for instance, that a municipal court bailiff was once an Air Force colonel who presided over cases in Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia as a chief military trial judge. Or that she was on the first military assistance team sent to Rwanda. Or a senior legal officer at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. Or a candidate for three federal judicial appointments.

But those are, indeed, Murnane’s qualifications. When Murnane started work in January, colleagues asked Taylor about her new bailiff. She jokingly responded, “I hired Hillary Clinton.”

Murnane’s resume is impressive, but it’s not the whole story. She also had to overcome unsupportive parents, an abusive first husband, a 200-mile daily commute to law school and a military that was openly hostile toward enlisted mothers. It required superhuman perseverance.

“There’s no such thing as ‘can’t,’” Murnane says. “There are other things like, ‘I don’t choose to,’ or, ‘I’m not willing to put that much work in.’ But I don’t buy that you can’t do something.”

ilitary trials in combat zones bear no resemblance to the courtroom scenes from, say, “A Few Good Men.” In combat, instead of sending all parties involved back to the states for a trial, a judge travels to the war zone to try the case in the field. There are no fancy, wood-paneled courtrooms. A hangar or a tent must suffice.

As the chief trial judge in Europe for the Air Force from 2000 to 2003, Murnane presided over the first Air Force trials in combat areas during the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She deliberated outdoors in 102-degree heat under mosquito netting, her chemical warfare gear always within reach. A sandstorm kicked up during one such trial, and when Murnane attempted to make the walk to a nearby porta-John, the sand blocked everything from view—including the brown latrine.

“When I finally get out there, the wind is rocking this porta-let and I thought, ‘My God, if this porta-let falls over, I’m just going to stay here and be buried in the sand,’” Murnane recalls, laughing.

It’s a situation she never could have foreseen when she enlisted in the Air Force in 1974—a choice that infuriated her father.

“When my dad said I couldn’t do something, I’d say, ‘Oh, yeah? Watch me,’” Murnane says. “Telling me I could not achieve something that I legitimately felt was within my grasp was the best single motivating tool for me.”

Murnane, 61, grew up in Cincinnati and first came to Columbus shortly after high school for marriage. Her husband was stationed at Lockbourne Air Force Base (now Rickenbacker International Airport); Murnane worked briefly at Lazarus in the Eastland Mall before following him to Virginia.

The marriage was a nightmare, and though she tried to salvage the abusive relationship, it couldn’t be saved.

Soon after it ended, Murnane’s student aid was reduced, and her job at a Virginia community college couldn’t cover the costs. Her parents refused to help pay for her

education. She was out of money. “I wanted to finish my degree,” she says. “So I said, ‘I gotta get me some of that GI Bill stuff.’ ” After enlisting, Murnane eventually earned her degree from a branch campus of the College of William & Mary and set her sights on law school, which seemed financially feasible only if she could get into the Funded Legal Education Program (FLEP). At that time, only seven airmen were accepted each year. Murnane knew she had to stand out, so at officer training school she earned a double commission, training all day as a supply officer, then studying by flashlight at night to become a public affairs officer.

The board denied her first application. A general told her she lacked commitment and that if she were truly committed, she would have attended the Air Force Academy. Women weren’t allowed in the academy when Murnane enlisted.

“The clear signal to me was, girls need not apply,” she says.

Instead of giving up on her law-school dreams, Murnane doubled down. While stationed with her second husband in Biloxi, Mississippi, she found a night law program at Loyola University New Orleans that required students to take three hours of classes four nights a week.

Loyola is about 100 miles from Biloxi, so Murnane and her husband bought a house halfway between the two. She drove 50 miles to Biloxi in the morning, then left at 4:30 p.m. to drive the 100 miles to Loyola. After two hourand-a-half-long classes, she drove the 50 miles back home.

Two-hundred miles a day, four nights a week. Murnane passed every class that semester.

“I reapplied for the FLEP program and said, ‘Do I look committed now?’” Murnane says.

She was accepted. Even as a full-time student, Murnane commuted 200 miles every weekday to be in Biloxi with her husband, who had suffered a spinal injury. And after her first daughter’s birth, childcare drop-off lengthened the commute to 300 miles.

Murnane was “totally refined by the fires of tribulation and hard work,” says retired Lt. Col. Wayde Pittman, who has known Murnane for about 20 years and worked under her as a deputy chief trial judge. “For some people this would harden them, but for Linda it made her a person of extreme compassion and diligence.”

“She is totally selfless,” Pittman says, “but intensely so. I’ve never met anyone like that. Many selfless people are laidback. Not Linda. She is selfless, but on a mission in doing so.”

Murnane served in the Air Force nearly 30 years, along the way raising two daughters—one of whom was born deaf and blind—and adopting a third foster daughter. In addition to her 10 years as a military judge, she was also on the first U.S. military assistance team sent to Rwanda in September 2003. Murnane and her team visited five of the genocide sites—blood stains and bags of bones still present—and taught Rwandan officials about freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

After earning multiple military decorations, including the Legion of Merit, Murnane retired as a colonel in 2004. But “retirement” is not the way to describe her last nine years.

In 2006, Murnane was hired by the United Nations to work at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) based in The Hague, Netherlands. The ICTY prosecutes war crimes and crimes against humanity from the war in former Yugoslavia. Murnane held several positions at the ICTY, and they often overlapped. As the acting head of chambers, she oversaw all the legal teams who drafted decisions, orders and judgments for the international judges. In her position as chief of court management and support services, Murnane was like a super-clerk of courts, leading a team of nearly 400 and

When Murnane first arrived, two of the tribunal cases she worked on were conducted in French. Murnane only had two years of French under her belt, so she hired a tutor, took a four-hour class every Saturday and eventually supervised two teams who worked entirely in French. At the same time, Murnane was the executive director for the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights. Since the Netherlands is six hours ahead of Eastern time, Murnane would come home from 12-hour

While stationed in Rwanda, Murnane taught Rwandan soldiers about freedom of speech and the press.

All these accomplishments haven’t gone unnoticed by the Obama administration. Murnane has been considered three times for federal judicial appointments.

“One of the things about being in the military is that you’re limited in your political activity,” Murnane says. “All you’re allowed to do is vote. You’re not allowed to make political contributions.”

Big donors typically sit high on the list of potential judicial appointments, but Murnane still managed to make the short list twice and was recommended by U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown for a position last spring.

t’s a love fest when Judge Taylor and Murnane speak about each other.

“I consider myself so lucky to have met her,” Taylor says.

Murnane ranked far above the other bailiff candidates on paper, but Taylor says the face-to-face interview sealed the deal. The only note she managed to jot down was, “Wow.” “I was going to sleep on it, but I called her about 6 o’clock and said, ‘You have the job if you want it,’” Taylor says. Murnane and her husband of 26 years, Kevin, moved to Columbus from Cincinnati that weekend.

Though Murnane has a more impressive resume than many judges, let alone bailiffs, she’s nothing but thankful for her job. She’s not interested in running a campaign for a judgeship and takes great pride in her position. “I’m so grateful to Judge Taylor for giving me this opportunity,” Murnane says. “When you try to get a job after 30 years of service, you don’t know anybody… I feel so fortunate and blessed that she took a chance on an outsider.”

The position requires Murnane to learn new skills. At the ICTY, a trial can last for months or years. Taylor, on the other hand, sometimes hears 70 cases in one day. Plus, cases involving drunken driving, resisting arrest and opencontainer law violations are all new to Murnane.

To no one’s surprise, she has embraced the challenge.

“I worked very hard to get my law degree,” Murnane says. “I had some breaks along the way, but I’m convinced there’s a reason I succeeded. And the reason I succeeded was not to stay home and watch television. I think there’s more good for me to do out there.” ■

Frank Packard (1866-1923) was “the preeminent Columbus architect,” says Doreen Uhas-Sauer of the Columbus Landmarks Foundation.

What began as an affiliation with Joseph Yost blossomed into a solo career when Yost headed East. “Frank Packard’s architecture office dominated the Columbus architectural scene from 1900 to his death in 1923,” says Barbara Powers of the Ohio Historic Preservation Office. Ironically, his success was hastened by the Flood of 1913, which Uhas-Sauer calls “the great urban renewer,” since it resulted in the creation of a Civic Center by the Scioto riverfront. (Packard led Allied Architects in the planning of that effort.) Among other Yost & Packard buildings are the Toledo & Ohio Central Railroad Station, the Great Southern Hotel and several buildings on Ohio State’s campus. One of Packard’s leastknown designs offers a peek into his worldview: His mausoleum at Green Lawn Cemetery, Uhas-Sauer says, was “done in a neoEgyptian style with appropriate motifs that remind the viewer that the Egyptians hoped for a life after death.”

Led by the trio of Clarence E. Richards, J. E. McCarty and George H. Bulford, this firm practiced a Beaux Arts and neoclassical style similar to that of Frank Packard. Their designs achieved a balance between the “grand” and the “inviting,” says Doreen Uhlas-Saurer of the Columbus Landmarks Foundation. She says the entrance of the Columbus Museum of Art (designed by the firm and on the National Register of Historic Places since 1992) is an example of a structure that “does not dwarf the visitor but makes one feel they are about to enter something grand but not imposing.” Some of the firm’s choices were less predictable, however. Preservation consultant Jeffrey Darbee points to two entrances at the Old Deaf School that feature, for no apparent reason, “medieval grotesque sculpted heads in stone.” Darbee adds, “I can’t think of another building in Columbus that is quite like that, that has that sort of unexpected aspect to it.”

was at the top of his priority list. He saw the spot—formerly home to a metal salvage firm and manufacturing plants—where 1 Miranova Place now stands 26 stories high and knew this was it. “It was at a time when there was talk but no action about the renaissance of the riverfront,” he says. “I saw this location as one that had unbelievable use that could basically look at the whole skyline.” Pizzuti also had another motive: “Frankly, I also wanted to live there.”

Nearly 14 years after international firm Arquitectonica constructed the $60 million residential structure in 2000, Pizzuti still lives at Miranova (and so did each of his three grown children for a time).

Although the curved, glass-plated structure is a shining (quite literally) example of contemporary architecture, Pizzuti says his goal was to produce a building that would stand the test of time.

“This was an opportunity for us to do something with architectural significance,” he says. “It was very important to us to deliver a design that was ageless.”

Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of Miranova is the shape of the building. “The building profile curves upward towards the river like two sails,” says principal architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia in his design statement.

This design means every condo faces north, providing a guaranteed view of both the river and the skyline from any condo in the building. “The view has improved over the 14 years that this building has been up, specifically the Scioto Mile,” Pizzuti says.

Pizzuti also points to the ripple effect Miranova has had on riverfront development. “Our goal at the time was to encourage other developers,” he says.

“Basically we wanted to change the skyline. I think we were successful in both.”

Florence Kenyon Hayden Rector Florence Kenyon Hayden Rector (1882-1973) was a trailblazer, but her path to becoming the city’s earliest known female architect was not an easy one. According to The First American Women Architects, she studied architecture at Ohio State University but did not graduate. When she was charged with designing the Oxley Hall dormitory at Ohio State, she was saddled with a male architect to collaborate with, ”whom she eventually had to lock out of her office for several weeks to get anything done while she designed Oxley Hall,” Doreen Uhas-Saurer of the Columbus Landmarks Foundation says. In the end, her legacy rests on the quality of her buildings. “Her designs show the influence of the turnof-the-century Arts and Crafts movement through her use of natural materials, high-quality craftsmanship, emphasis upon well-lighted and ventilated rooms, and simple designs,” says Barbara Powers of the Ohio Historic Preservation Office, who adds that Rector was—perhaps unsurprisingly—a suffragist.

Daniel Burnham

Though born in New York, Daniel Burnham (1846-1912) gained his fame in Chicago, especially for the hand he had in the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. “One of the purposes of the exposition was to show how cities could be remade in a different image that was much more uplifting,” says preservation consultant Jeffrey Darbee, “and the City Beautiful movement came out of that.” In spite of his Windy City roots, however, it was yet another city—Cleveland—that inadvertently led to Burnham building union station arcade and the Wyandotte Building. “Burnham’s work in Columbus was somewhat the result of the usual ‘Columbus envies Cleveland’ scenario,” explains Doreen Uhas-Sauer of the Columbus Landmarks Foundation, since the architect had recently completed Cleveland’s Society for Savings building and the May Company department store. “Because of his stature and work in Chicago, he was quite the catch,” Uhas-Sauer says. The Wyandotte Building—which can lay claim to being Columbus’ first skyscraper, Darbee says—can still be viewed in its original glory. “The salient feature is the bay windows that you see in the Wyandotte Building,” Darbee says.

“They project out to bring in more natural light, rather than having the facade of the building just a flat plane.”

the courtroom. Original light fixtures were restored and improved to cast more light.

Completed in 1933, the building is Cincinnati architect Harry Hake’s single contribution to Columbus, and in its restored form (the project was completed in 2004), it is a gem.

Its walls inside and out are cloaked in brass bas-reliefs, sculpture, murals, metalwork and intricate woodwork, and the design draws inspiration from diverse art deco, classic, Renaissance and even rococo styles. Vaulted ceilings are encrusted in gleaming mosaics or painted with gold leaf and accented with Greek keys and other geometric motifs. Even the most utilitarian features are artful.

The ground floor lobby is a tribute to Native Americans, showing them with an unusual degree of reverence for the day, Wuebbold says. Tribal leaders Pontiac, Tecumseh, Logan and Little Turtle are portrayed in bas-relief, and lighting fixtures are constructed of brass bows and arrows. Brass doors depict symbols of the Hopewell people.

Wuebbold says the press corps called the pre-renovation building the “Cave of the Winds.”

ohio Stadium

Year built: 1922 Architect: Howard Dwight Smith Style: Classical

The resounding boom of cannons fired from the Oval on Ohio State’s campus in 1920 was an announcement of sorts: The campaign to build a football stadium had just raised another $1,000. Ohio Stadium was the largest cast-in-place concrete structure in the world when it was completed in 1922 and is still one of the most renowned stadiums in history—and it cost $1 million to build.

“There weren’t that many students at Ohio State at that time,” says Sarah Bongiorno, a lecturer at Ohio State’s Knowlton School of Architecture and coordinator of the exhibit Build It! The Genius of Ohio Stadium, on display in the Columbus Historical Society. “To build a stadium that was going to fit [62,000] people was really ambitious and a little crazy.”

Despite critics who condemned the use of concrete—a new and uncertain 70

material at the time—and doubted it would ever fill to capacity, architect Howard Dwight Smith designed the stadium with fans in mind. His neverbefore-seen horseshoe layout curved toward the field, providing a better sightline for spectators seated near the south end zone. His was also the first double-decker stadium, a tremendous architectural and engineering feat, Bongiorno says.

Though a 1999 renovation closed the open end of the Shoe, much of the original remains intact.

The tall archways 34-year-old Smith designed after the Roman Coliseum and ancient aqueducts still provide most of the building’s 88 entries and exits. The Pantheoninspired rotunda at the northern apex was left untouched, and original towers stand where they were built. Still, too, remains the passion—unfaltering since the first time the Buckeyes played Michigan in the new stadium and exceeded its capacity—of the fans who pack the stands shoulder to shoulder, just as Smith knew they would. 411 Woody Hayes Drive, Campus

Columbus’ beloved skyscraper stands 555 feet in the air. At the time of completion, it was the fifth-tallest building in the world, a true modern marvel and a point of serious pride for the city.

When it opened on September 21, 1927—“with a roar of cannon equally a salute to a visiting potentate,” The Columbus Dispatch reported the following day—the building was an awe-inspiring source of excitement for the people of Columbus. Architect C. Howard Crane went to great lengths to promote the building as “one foot taller than the Washington Monument.” (The LeVeque is actually just under a foot taller than the D.C. landmark.)

“This was truly innovative at the time,” says Sam Rosenthal, a project manager with Schooley Caldwell Associates, the firm spearheading the LeVeque Tower restoration that began in 2011. “This was a true monument for the city … [LeVeque] was really a beacon for the people of Columbus.”

It was a beacon for pilots, too. As the tallest structure for miles, the tower served as an aerial lighthouse, providing radio signals for transatlantic pilots.

The history of the tower is nontraditional, as office-building histories go: It was commissioned by the American Insurance Union and served as the company’s headquarters and also as an addition for the swank Deshler-Wallick Hotel (demolished in the 1970s). The building was so grand that many would argue AIU bit off more than it could chew—the company was bankrupt by the 1930s.

The building, which was purchased by John Lincoln and Leslie LeVeque in 1945 and was officially renamed in 1977, has aged remarkably well, Rosenthal says, despite its construction during a time when little regard was paid to issues like how materials would change with the weather.

Current renovations will bridge the gap between previously unconnected spaces. The project also includes repairs to crumbling or cracked tiles and the restoration of original art elements. 50 W. Broad St., Downtown

LeVeque’s Stone Guardians In all its ornamented glory, the Art Deco-style American Insurance Union Citadel, as it was known at the time, was an architectural wonder. Thirty-foot statues, eagles with wings spread and a serious heap of symbolism adorned the terra-cotta tiles at the top of the 555-foot-tall tower. By the mid-1940s, many of the original sculptures and reliefs (created by Chicagoan Fritz Albert from models by New York sculptor Carl H. Keck) had been removed. Here, we highlight the LeVeque’s most striking original features.

Guards Helmeted guards are located just below the domed top of the tower.

Grasping swords, these sculptures also symbolize American Insurance Union’s mission to defend the people of Columbus.

Angels Located just above the first set of four eagles are scroll-wielding angels. “The scrolls tell the story of the deeds of the insurance company … getting rid of the past and writing the future,” Rosenthal says.

The Four Colossus Each face of the citadel was adorned with a 26-foot-tall statue of Colossus holding two cherubic boys. “These most symbolized the AIU’s virtues,” says Sam Rosenthal, project manager at Schooley Caldwell Associates, the firm behind the building’s recent renovations. “It’s a bit strange, the two children, but it was meant to symbolize protection.” One of the Colossus statues was removed because it obstructed the view from Leslie LeVeque’s 41st-story office; all were removed by 1947 amid concerns that they would crumble and fall to the ground.

Bald Eagles Four 18-foot-tall eagles were designed for the corner niches near the citadel’s 36th floor, as well as for the peak of the tower. “Near the top there’s a band of eagles looking out over everything,” Rosenthal says. “The AIU was an insurance company for everyone … covering anyone who wanted the services.” The eagles, wings spread wide, also symbolized the company’s protection.

Franklin park conservatory palm house Year built: 1895 Architect: J.M. Freese Style: Victorian

The history of Franklin Park is rooted in fairs and festivals. The park is located at what was once the site of the Ohio State Fair between 1874 and 1886. The Palm House at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens was modeled after the Glass Palace at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. And the conservatory underwent a $14 million expansion in preparation for AmeriFlora ’92, a six-month international horticulture exhibition. Today, the conservatory still serves as a cultural hub for Columbus, and the 118-year-old Palm House remains at its center.

One of five remaining Victorian glasshouses in the U.S., the Palm House was built in 1895 on a limestone foundation by Columbus architect J.M. Freese. The budget: $24,000. In addition to housing tropical plants, the Palm House basement was home to several animals before the Columbus Zoo was built in the late 1920s.

In the late 1980s, the City of Columbus commissioned Schooley Caldwell Associates to restore all the glass and the cupola of the Palm House. “[It was a] tricky job because the plants all had to be protected, and the new glass is tempered (meaning it can’t be cut on site),” says Robert Loversidge of Schooley Caldwell Associates.

Garry Clarke, the conservatory’s director of planning, horticulture and facilities, says the glass structure—which is thoroughly cleaned every two to three years—has aged well overall, in part thanks to the 1980s renovations.

“It’s a significant and enduring part of the city’s history, a rare Victorian glasshouse and one of the city’s oldest landmark buildings,” Clarke says. “In its more than 100 years, the Palm House has been an important part of the city’s cultural fabric.” 1777 E. Broad St., East Side 72

Though it isn’t loud or ostentatious, the tower at One Nationwide Plaza stands out. It holds a firm place in Columbus’ skyline, cast against the horizon as an outlier apart from the bulk of the city’s giants.

Gray concrete forms this 40-story building, with windows lining its broad face and angular tips capping off its narrow sides.

The strong vertical design plays to the building’s height, emphasizing the iconic status of the corporate headquarters within, says David Brehm, Columbus principal for architecture firm NBBJ, which designed Three Nationwide Plaza.

Designed by local firm Brubaker/Brandt and New York City’s Harrison and Abramovitz, the 1978 building channels the refined high-rises more commonly seen in the Big Apple and maintains its modernity. “The simplicity and the elegance of the design has caused the building to age very well,” Brehm says.

When announced, One Nationwide Plaza was controversial not because of the materials or methods, but rather for the site chosen for construction. The intersection of Nationwide Boulevard and High Street, now the gateway to the booming Arena District, was once a demolition zone riddled with dirt plots and parking lots. “It was criticized by some for not contributing more to the critical mass of the Broad and High realm,” Brehm says.

Looking back, the vision of placing a corporate headquarters in an area outside of central Downtown was quite forward-thinking. Plastered with Nationwide’s logo and, periodically, messages spelled out in window lights, the building serves as a permanent symbol of Columbus’ commitment to business and development.

The I-670 Cap

It appeared from thin air: A strip of storefronts on either side of High Street hovers above the space where I-670 for decades sliced a barren rift between Downtown and the Short North.

The cap at Union Station was the first of its kind when it opened in 2004. The revolutionary design features three bridges, including one for through traffic and two others that support a 25,500-sqaure-foot retail development above the eight-lane interstate. It replaced a bleak, windswept overpass that was scarcely crossed.

“I think now it’s become so much a part of the [city’s] fabric that no one really sees it anymore,” says David Meleca, the project’s architect. His design is traditional; the buildings seamlessly connect to the arts

district’s long strip of restaurants, bars and galleries. But its deep arches, broad pillars and ornate details channel Meleca’s muse, the 19th century Union Station Arcade. Using measurements from the arch in McFerson Commons on Nationwide Boulevard—the only piece of the Arcade saved from demolition in 1976—Meleca developed a pattern proportional to the original design.

The columns are concrete, while a fiberglass mold forms the archways and arcades above patios. Even its embellishments and sandy color mimic the Arcade. The Cap received national praise once completed, but Meleca at one time believed the project might never happen. It took eight years and $7.8 million to build.

Finding a balance between the initial return on investment and what was best for the city required some altruistic thinking. “It’s more than just about making money,” Meleca says.

“It’s about wanting to fix something and do something positive.” North High Street between Poplar Avenue and Goodale Street, Short North

Peter Eisenman

“The spaceship that crash-landed on the prairie.” That is how monologist Spalding Gray reportedly described The Wexner Center for the Arts at Ohio State University, designed by academic Peter Eisenman and the late Richard W. Trott.

Even some of the center’s employees were bemused by its deconstructionist appearance upon its unveiling in 1989.

Curator at large Bill Horrigan remembers the staff having “crash-coursed ourselves within the Eisenman ethic,” but found it “a bit confounding: the fetishistic horror of right angles, the completely annoying columns (which couldn’t even be justified as load-bearing), the Expressionistic staircases, the steep angle of the ramp up to the galleries.” Nonetheless, the building soon became iconic in its oddness. “The Wexner Center is considered a seminal canonic work both as a project (where ideas take center stage) and as a building (where experience and function prevail),” says Ohio State architecture professor Jeffrey Kipnis, who notes that Eisenman’s work to that point consisted of just “five houses and a small office building,” but his practice skyrocketed after the success of the Wex.

In 1918, Robert R. Reeves set up shop with Orlando C. Miller, and the announcement in The Western Architect is a reminder of the name recognition Frank PackVard had in Columbus: “Mr. Miller announces the association, Mr. Reeves having been in the office of Frank L. Packard for many years.” Changing course from the publicbuilding emphasis of Packard, Miller & Reeves made hay with residential projects.

Their legacy lives on most visibly in Sessions Village, which Doreen UhasSauer of the Columbus Landmarks Foundation calls “a masterpiece of a French town.” The Ohio Historic Places Dictionary notes that Reeves was inspired to build the village while globetrotting to France, where he observed the details he wanted, including “a village street of cobblestone and slate sidewalks.”

Arata Isozaki

Ohio State architecture professor Jeffrey Kipnis describes Arata Isozaki as “one of the giants of architectural culture for his thought and mobilization of Japan into a major source of contemporary architecture.”

Among Isozaki’s buildings are the Art Tower Mito and Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and though he has only one work to his name in Columbus, it is a memorable one. For the expanded COSI complex, Isozaki used the bones of the old Central High School, transforming the site while still respecting what came before. As an article in The Columbus Dispatch observed, the new COSI “incorporates much of the 1924 school into its 300,000-square-foot building.” “By doing so,” says COSI president and CEO David E. Chesebrough, “he acknowledged history and the rich educational heritage of Central Ohio and created an innovative and forward-thinking complement to Central High in the rest of his design.”

Divine Houses

Some of the most beautiful buildings in Columbus, inside and out, are churches. They reflect the architectural trends of their day, but they also contain the symbolism and iconography of their particular religion or denomination. We asked historians and clergy for a peek inside some of the city’s most interesting houses of worship.

The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church 555 N. High St., Short North Inspired by Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia, built by emperor Justinian the Great in 537, Annunciation was designed by Columbus firm Kontogiannis & Associates and opened for worship in 1990. The iconography and ornate mosaics done in 24-karat gold are awe-inspiring. “The icons lead you into worship, uplifting your mind, body and soul to God’s majestic kingdom,” says Father Demetrios Gardikes. “It gives you peace.”

Congregation Tifereth Israel 1354 E. Broad St., East Side Tifereth Israel was founded as a Hungarian Hebrew congregation, hence the 1926 building’s Byzantine Revival architecture that calls to mind European synagogues.

Senior rabbi Michael Ungar says decades of renovations have created an endearing mishmash of old and modern; the sanctuary features original stained glass as well as contemporary art glass added in the ’60s. Ungar says the domed ceiling, huge chandelier and natural light give the space a soothing feel.

Broad Street United Methodist Church 501 E. Broad St., Downtown Famed Columbus architect Joseph W. Yost designed Broad Street UMC’s 1885 building with pointed arches common to Gothic Revival structures, but it’s the sanctuary’s sloped floor and semi-circular arrangement of the original pews that church historian Jim Barbee says give the space a warm, homey feel. Instead of being separated by a long center aisle, worshipers are closer to each other and the speaker.

St. Margaret of Cortona Church 1600 N. Hague Ave., West Side Portland/Boston architect Pietro Belluschi, a former dean at MIT, worked with Columbus firm Brubaker/Brandt to design St. Margaret, which was dedicated in 1968. Built from locally quarried limestone, the small church’s modern, airy design was meant to emphasize simplicity over gaudiness. Monsignor Anthony Borrelli, pastor emeritus, says the lack of decoration makes it conducive to undistracted prayer.

Hundreds of Gothic Revival arches in the sanctuary lift the eye and heart heavenward, says head rector the Rev. Richard Burnett, and the “verticality of the space” represents an endpoint. (“Time is not circular,” he says.) Trinity renovated the interior several years ago with a vibrant six-color palette to replace the previously whitewashed walls. “It’s a place of action,” Burnett says.

Year built: 1897 Architect: Yost & Packard Style: French Renaissance

Optimism surrounded the 1897 opening of the “Great Southern Fireproof Hotel,” which owes its name (and thick walls) to the constant threat of fire at the time. Four years before, one hotel and two theaters—the Chittenden Hotel and Auditorium, the Henrietta Theatre and the Park Theatre—burned down in Columbus.

“We’re still standing,” says Phil BeMiller, director of sales and marketing at the historic hotel, which has operated under the Westin flag since 1996. Proclaimed by city leaders to be the “showcase of the Midwest,” the hotel was intended to complement the adjacent Southern Theatre.

Designed by local architectural firm Yost & Packard, the building is known for its French Renaissance architecture, characterized by its stained glass and ornate gold trim. The Westin’s palatial lobby is anchored by the same marble reception desk that has been greeting guests since the horseand-buggy days. But the hotel has seen many reconfigurations and renovations over the years. BeMiller says the traditional European-style rooms are a little smaller than most because bathrooms were added during renovations. The hallways, however, are noticeably wide—big enough to accommodate the big steamer trunks of the day, as well as the wide hoop skirts that were in vogue.

The Grand Ballroom, which BeMiller says was meant to be “fit for presidents,” hosted a ball in celebration of William McKinley’s second inauguration in 1901. These days, it’s a highly coveted wedding venue. Listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, the building also has a reputation for being haunted—some housekeeping staff have refused to go to certain parts of the building because they say they’ve seen ghosts. 310 S.

ohio hiStoriCal Center Year built: 1970 Architect: W. Byron Ireland & Associates Style: Brutalist

In the late 1960s, Ohio sold $290 million in bonds to improve and build state properties, with an emphasis on state history. For the Ohio Historical Society, whose holdings and offices were scattered among multiple properties, it was a golden opportunity.

Led by Society director Daniel Porter, a plan was hatched to commission a bold design that would contrast starkly with the historical records held inside, says Barbara Powers of the Ohio Historical Society. The architect chosen was the young, Harvardeducated Byron Ireland, who had worked with famed St. Louis Gateway Arch architect Eero Saarinen. Today, the Ohio Historical Center is a revered example of modern architecture, though it’s also misunderstood.

The interior is swathed in concrete. Look closely at it, and you’ll notice what appear to be the impressions of grains and knots of wood.

Your eyes don’t deceive; the concrete was cured in wooden forms to give it this organic texture, which is repeated throughout the building in real oak railings and details.

Four massive posts, sunk 70 feet into bedrock, support the dramatic cantilevers that constitute the building’s most striking feature. Cables throughout the building’s walls, held in proper tension with a series of hydraulic jacks, keep the walls upright.

Project engineer Peter Korda, in a video celebrating the building’s 40th anniversary in 2010, explains to his interviewer that the building had to be supported by 32 temporary concrete columns until all of the permanent concrete in the building had cured and the cables could be tensed.

“One of my secretaries came into the office one day to tell us that workmen were leaving the job site in droves. The rumor started that the building was going to fall down, and they didn’t want to be killed,” Korda says. “I told her that I was going to stand under that cantilever when it was cut it away. And I did really stand under it.”

When the last temporary support was cut away, the building sank three-quarters of an inch and, because the cables act like giant springs, bounced back up. 800 E. 17th Ave., North Side Columbus Monthly • December 2013

Girls For more than 100 years, the Columbus School for Girls has prepared young women for college and careers, much of the time ensconced behind a brick wall on Broad Street in Bexley. The school has a reputation for sky-high tuition, academic rigor and being a favored institution for privileged Columbus girls. That’s all true, but it’s only part of the story STORY BY Kristen schmidt | PhOTOS BY tessa Berg

O

n one of those blustery January mornings so gray the air seems opaque, a few dozen women walked briskly through a stone entrance at the Columbus School for Girls (CSG). Shaking off the chill once inside, they were greeted by staff and guided to the school cafeteria. Students in neatly pressed tartan uniforms introduced themselves to the guests and made conversation with them, answering and asking smart questions about school and work. The gentle clinking of cups against saucers punctuated the room, which was soon humming with conversation. At the suggestion of a staff member, a student, maybe 12 years old, led one woman to a table, where they sat and continued to chat as equals, nibbling breakfast. The women in the room were not parents or even acquaintances of the girls—they are among Columbus’ most influential leaders in business, politics and charitable institutions. It was the ultimate networking happy hour but with tea, muffins and tweens. Among those in attendance: Former Ohio House Speaker Jo Ann Davidson, Otterbein University President Kathy Krendl, Columbus city councilwomen Priscilla Tyson and Michelle Mills, Charles Penzone Inc. president Debra Penzone, Donato’s CEO Jane Grote Abell and Elfi DiBella, president and CEO of the YWCA Columbus.

When upper school students delivered remarks about 76

their education, the women nodded approvingly. They were impressed, and you would have been too, when thenstudent Sarah Naguib explained why, at age 17, she founded a nonprofit to deliver laptops to Egypt (she is also a black belt in taekwondo). The audience enthusiastically applauded head of school Liza Lee, who spoke briefly but persuasively in support of all-girls education. She talked about empowerment of young women, about preparing to send them out into a man’s world with tools like intelligence, boldness and creativity. Her words were unflinchingly opinionated; they might have been harrumphed by an audience of men. But this group was rapt.

If the school was looking for potential role models for students, to provide job shadows or speak in classes, they had found precisely the right audience: women who climbed to the top of their professions with grit and smarts, often without women mentors and while overcoming the everyday annoyances of gender discrimination. Singlesex education through Lee’s lens seems like a wonderful world of girl power, where stereotypes are chucked out the window and each person fearlessly raises her hand.

The merits of an all-girls education can be debated—even Lee will admit it’s not the right decision for everyone. But the 115-year-old CSG permeates Columbus—it graduates

women who go on to be leaders in business, politics, medicine, academics. It’s one of very few Columbus institutions to have the influence to bring all those women to that cafeteria on a Wednesday morning. It’s a mysterious place, hiding behind its stone walls. It might be a misunderstood place, too.

Is CSG elitist? The retail price of a year’s education is around $20,000. But a quarter of the students at the school receive need-based scholarships. Is it lily-white? No—31 percent of the student body is made up of “students of color,” as the school terms them. Is an all-girls education even a good idea?

It depends—even within feminist circles—whom you ask.

I

’m asked to meet head of school Liza Lee in “The Mansion,” past the courtyard with the unicorn statue.

Like a lot of things about CSG, these directions are eccentric but endearing. The ivy-covered Mansion is one of several buildings on CSG’s expanding campus, bounded

by Broad Street and Drexel, Columbia and Powell avenues.

A performing arts center is under construction, and a wellness and athletics building opened just last year.

Lee’s office has a perfect view of the courtyard where girls play during recess. When the weather is nice, Lee sometimes opens French doors to the yard and lets girls roam in and out while they play. She has that mysterious quality that tells children she is a kindred spirit; when she walks into a classroom, kids run right up to her and divulge their latest stories. In return, Lee listens to them earnestly, as though no one else in the world could be more interesting. Her face paints her interest, her voice rising with her eyebrows and bright, animated eyes. Lee has long believed girls deserve to be listened to.

She both graduated from and taught at the revered allgirls Brearly School in Manhattan, alma mater of Caroline Kennedy, feminists Anne and Katie Roiphe, actresses Kyra Sedgwick and Sigourney Weaver and publishing titans Katharine Weymouth and Dorothy Schiff. She then attended an allwomen’s college and went on to graduate school at Columbia.

“That was my first distressing taste of co-education,” she says. “Graduate professors called on the men all the time. It was very rare that they wanted to listen to a comment from a girl. Despite graduating from an all-women’s college, I wasn’t ready to ‘lean in’ yet. I wasn’t confident. Then I thought, after I listened to all those idiot comments from my male colleagues, I thought, ‘Yes I am,’ and I started raising my hand.”

To help with family finances while her husband completed medical school, Lee took a job teaching afternoon classes at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. This was when she first noticed that girls and boys learn differently, that some techniques seemed to work better with one sex than the other.

After experiencing discrimination in other settings—at one job in England she was instructed to bring her own toilet paper “because women used so much,” and at another job her boss told her he planned to pay a male replacement $15,000 more than her “because he was going to be supporting a family”—the idea that the world viewed men and women differently began to crystallize for Lee. She eventually devoted her career to all-girls education, becoming a nationally recognized expert, and in 2009 was lured out of retirement with the help of childhood friend Charlotte Kessler, whose family has a long legacy of attendance at CSG. Lee will retire (again) this summer; the new head of school Jennifer M. Ciccarelli starts in July.

Columbus School for Girls head of school Liza Lee

P

arents looking for information about singlesex education will find advice at both extremes—there are plentiful articles, books and research papers making arguments for it and against it. There are national organizations for both girls’ schools and co-educational schooling.

Lee, like most advocates for single-sex education, believes girls and boys learn differently and get better educations when separated. She also believes that allgirls education plays an important role in countering a “toxic culture” for adolescent girls (when we spoke, the Miley Cyrus MTV awards hullabaloo was raging).

“We’re all on the watch for that kind of cultural demoralization. I keep saying to the girls, I don’t want you to have a double life. I want you to be so strong when you leave here that it’s integral to you and you won’t capitulate,” she says.

On the other end of the spectrum are academics, child psychologists and education policymakers who find Lee’s ideas about single-sex education at best outdated and at worst based on junk science about neurological differences between girls and boys. In 2011, a group of academics—all founding board members of the American Council for CoEducational Schooling—published an article in the journal Science Columbus Monthly • December 2013

79

debunking benefits of single-sex education.

The researchers found that students at all-girls schools excelled not because they were surrounded by other females, but because they tended to come from well-off families, they met academic standards when they tested into the schools and private schools had the money to spend on extras, like tutoring, to enhance students’ experience. The authors also called research showing differences in girls’ and boys’ brains “pseudoscience” that has been refuted by more recent neuroscience.

And, maybe most damning, the researchers made the case that singlesex education institutionalizes notions of gender difference: By creating singlegender educational environments, all-girls schools signal that gender is an important part of society.

“I think parents who choose single-gender education are making a choice, a realistic choice,” Lee says.

“At an all-girls school, we put no limits on their expectations, and we don’t put the kind of limitations on their dreams that you sometimes find in a co-ed school, even though it’s not because of anything conscious.”

Parents do continue to choose CSG. Founded with two students (both went to Wellesley College) in 1898, CSG today has a student body of more than 600 girls.

From the beginning, it has been a college preparatory school. If a girl does not intend to go on to a college or university, CSG is not a good fit: 100 percent of each graduating class is accepted to college.

Lee is also outspoken about the socio-economic and ethnic diversity inside CSG. It’s a point of pride for the staff at the school that the student body is not homogenous.

“We certainly have privileged girls here.

But what we have is the full spread. It’s not just some poor kids here and some rich kids there. It’s everything in between,” Lee says. “We have families whose parents work two jobs in order to afford us.”

CSG offers only need-based financial aid; since girls test into the school, they are all deemed to be there on merit. The school gives out about $1.8 million a year in scholarships.

“We had a child who was homeless, and we have Jack Kessler’s grandchildren,” Lee says, referring to the prominent developer. “But what’s interesting to me is the number of families for whom this is a tremendous sacrifice.”

“I was judged not for how I looked or the way I dressed, but what I had to contrIbute Intellectually. It was the freedom to not worry about how you looked physIcally, the freedom to express your Ideas freely.”

—Dr. SanDra Kim

M

ore than 25 years after they graduated from CSG, Columbus lawyer Liza Kessler still remembers classmate Sandy Kim’s intelligence and critical-thinking skills. Sandy grew up to be Dr. Sandra Kim, a pediatrician whose clinical and research work has focused on inflammatory bowel disease; she recently returned to Columbus as the medical director of Nationwide Children’s Hospital Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center.

Kim arrived at CSG as a high school freshman, having transferred from a public school.

“It is a little bit of culture shock to be in a co-ed school where you’ve got the geeky ones and then you’ve got the cheerleaders … [At CSG], You’re with women, and you realize you’re no longer competing with them; you’re not afraid to show that you’re smart,” she says.

It was a relief when appearances took a backseat to academics, she says, and her thoughts were repeated again and again in interviews with CSG graduates. Uniforms and no boys neutralized the typical adolescent emphasis on looks. Uniforms had the double duty of leveling socio-economic status. Kessler says she had no clue which students were on scholarships, and it wouldn’t have mattered.

“I was judged not for how I looked or the way I dressed, but what I had to contribute intellectually,” Kim says. “It was the freedom to not worry about how you looked physically, the freedom to express your ideas freely.”

Laurel Beatty, daughter of former state Rep. Otto Beatty Jr. and stepdaughter of Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, left St. Catherine’s Catholic school for CSG in sixth grade. She says she reveled in the religious, ethnic and cultural diversity she found at the school.

“You had Christian, Jewish, Muslim people and a lot of different ethnicities. I liked different, so I loved it,” she says. That education came in handy when she ran to keep the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas judgeship,

to which she was appointed in 2009.

“It’s not easy to walk up to a stranger and ask them for their vote. But if you have that base of some general knowledge and appreciation for different races, religions, cultures, it’s not quite so intimidating,” she says.

Another factor in Beatty’s win: The network of CSG alumnae in Columbus.

“I got a lot of help from classmates, whether it was placing yard signs or walking in parades with me. They threw me a fundraiser,” she says. “Running for a countywide position, it’s not like you have staff who are paid. When you run county-wide, it is you and the people who love you.”

Kessler, daughter of Jack and Charlotte Kessler and goddaughter of Liza Lee, her mother’s school friend, is the partner-in-charge at the Columbus office of global law firm Jones Day. Her aunt and sisters attended CSG, and her nieces are there now. During an interview in her office, she pulls a framed photograph from a credenza—a group of women, all CSG graduates, smile from underneath the canopy of a golf cart. The photo was taken on a girls’ getaway just a few weeks prior.

“We’re very different people, doing very different things and having very different lives,” Kessler says. “One of the things CSG gives you is a respect for and protection of female friendships.”

All of the women interviewed say CSG had well prepared them for the world beyond high school and for college. Each of them chose a profession that can be called “male-dominated,” but not one of them seems to notice.

“You don’t doubt yourself. You feel like you’re worthy of being at the table. You know how to maintain a conversation,” says Sophia Corna, marketing manager at her family’s construction firm, Corna Kokosing. “That all stems from that education, that foundation that they give you.”

Liza Lee is fond of “Lean In,” the bestselling feminist manifesto by Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg, in which she advises women to commit to making and keeping their careers a priority. Lee has shared and discussed the book with her colleagues, and she wrote a letter to the New York Times referencing it. It might be said that Lee was telling girls to “lean in” long before Sandberg put it in print.

Corna recalls a conversation she had several years ago with a former classmate’s father, who was a bit dismayed at his daughter’s apparent nonchalance about settling down.

“He said, ‘You know I think that school made you girls a little too independent,’ ” Corna says with a smile. “I told him, ‘We’re doing our own thing, and if that happens along the way, that’s great.’ You learn that you’re going to go out and find a career and your own path and your own future.”

Brittany Baum has been working since 7 a.m., mixing dough for her Bavarianstyle soft pretzels. Each batch of thick, twisted rope takes about two hours to make, so the owner of Brezel needs an early start to beat her first customers.

Her dyed-blonde hair is pulled into a ponytail, bangs pinned away from her face. Jeans, a fitted T-shirt and flats are suitable for a long day on her feet. She kneads the dense mixture of flour, brown sugar, water and yeast with small hands and tattooed arms, leaning the weight of her petite frame forward on the tabletop to soften the dough to roll.

Before Brezel joined the Market in 2011, Baum, now 31, spent three years baking pretzels out of her German Village home. Never a serious baker, she was determined to recreate the specialty after two vacations in Germany introduced her to its signature crunchy yet chewy texture.

Baum puts her own spin on the Bavarian classic by using fresh produce, herbs and spices to create a wide variety of flavors. She already has 30, ranging from cinnamon sugar to jalapeno cheddar, and frequently experiments with new ones.

“We’re not certified organic, but everything is,” she says. “We don’t use any preservatives in our products.”

She tears a chunk from a heaping mound of dough as an employee working across from her does the same. The pair will continue to roll, twist and bake fresh pretzels for hours until they’re joined by others who’ll take over the task until about 5 p.m.

Baum has hired 10 new employees in 18 months to meet the needs of Brezel’s fast-growing business.

The recent growth spurt was triggered when she partnered with a local company to sell her pretzels in grocery stores.

Eat Well Distribution, the Columbus-based food distributor that introduced Brezel’s pretzel twists to market freezers throughout the Midwest, was co-founded in 2012 by Jeni Britton Bauer, founder of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams.

Like Baum, Britton Bauer got her start in the North Market, opening her business there with now-husband Charly Bauer in 2002. Today, Jeni’s pints are sold on 1,000 shelves nationwide—as well as in Kuwait and Dubai—and scoop shops are popping up in cities as far from Columbus as Atlanta and Chicago. Britton Bauer’s commitment to using natural, locally sourced ingredients for her handmade ice cream—in unlikely flavor combinations that have become her trademark—has earned her national recognition.

Britton Bauer’s network is growing, her star is rising—and she’s bringing some Columbus favorites with her.

Brezel is one of 12 brands represented by Eat Well, and the common denominator among the products is wholesomeness. Like Jeni’s ice cream, the foods are made with natural, unprocessed, mostly local ingredients. Even housewares line Made by AmyD uses recycled plastic bottles to make reusable coffee-cup sleeves.

“These are not highly processed, fake foods.

These aren’t science projects,” says John Lowe, CEO and co-founder of Eat Well Distribution and CEO of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. “That is part of the Eat Well mission. We think that the more we can do to get more good food frozen quickly and then enjoyed easily at home, the better our world will be.”

W

hen hiring a CEO to guide their growing business, Britton Bauer and her husband saw a perfect fit in Lowe, a longtime friend they met at Short North Tavern one night in 1998.

Selling pints of ice cream in grocery stores was not a priority or even part of the business plan when Lowe, a lawyer, joined the team in 2009. Jeni’s was preparing to open a fifth scoop shop in Dublin.

Online ordering was the only way to bring home a pint of Jeni’s—unless you happened to live near Foragers, a specialty grocer in Brooklyn.

“I asked them, ‘How did you get your pints on the shelves at Foragers?’ And they said, ‘Foragers called us and asked us if they could sell our ice cream,’ ” Lowe recalls. “That doesn’t happen in the real world. I said, ‘Maybe this truly is a world-class product.’ ” Lowe set out to quickly build a wholesale business for Jeni’s. He began by cold-calling grocers and shipping 45 pints of ice cream under 20 pounds of dry ice to each of them.

Four years later, pints are shipped by the pallet from a production facility in Harrison West to every Jeni’s retailer. They’ll send ice cream anywhere it can reach in two days, whether on trucks emblazoned with Jeni’s recognizable logo or shipped via FedEx. And they still pack shipments with dry ice and buy more of it than anyone else in Ohio, Lowe says.

As Jeni’s wholesale business grew, so did the retail business. By “I’m a shoot-for-the-moon person, 100 percent,” Britton Bauer 2012, there were 10 scoop shops in Ohio. says. “I never, ever limit myself. It just wouldn’t occur to me to It was around this time Lowe conceptualized Eat think I’m going to do something little and keep it that way.”

Well Distribution.

And, boy, how her little ice cream business grew.

“We had some scale suddenly that we could leverage to bring Before she was an ice cream maker, she was an art student our costs down,” Lowe says. and an aspiring perfumer. She collected essential oils and reveled Eat Well was formed as a business separate from Jeni’s but in blending scents. A curious hunch compelled her to mix owned by the same people. This structure cut out the middleman cayenne oil into chocolate ice cream. The result of that for items Jeni’s was ordering in large quantities, such as napkins, inspiration is known as Queen City Cayenne, and it’s one of paper cups and shipping material. They’d buy it at cost and mark her most popular flavors. it up less. Essentially, they served as their own distributor and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams steadily generated buzz—after a failed attempt at her first ice cream business, Scream—and spilled began selling to other food businesses, too. beyond her North Market stall. Soon, she was opening Before long, they were selling these businesses not more shops and increasing ice cream production only packing materials but also product distribution exponentially. More demand and new products, services—to put their products on the shelves where Jeni’s ice cream is sold. It made perfect such as macaroon ice cream sandwiches and sense to Lowe. crumbly ice cream toppings she dubbed Gravel, “We know how to talk to frozen buyers,” required additional space and employees. he says. “We have lower shipping rates than Now, 80 employees per shift, for two shifts anybody else. We should be able to do this, each day, mix batch after 9-gallon batch. It’s because of our economies of scale, cheaper than no longer made by Britton Bauer’s hands, but anybody else. Let’s see if we can help them.” it’s made the same way she has always done it.

Fresh developing a sharp new logo, tidy website and sweet potatoes are pan-roasted, and berries are eye-catching packaging—not unlike Jeni’s—to reduced into sugary jam. mark the pretzel-maker as an Eat Well product.

Britton Bauer continues to buy many of the Baum admits before Eat Well came along, same ingredients she’s used from the beginning, her marketing efforts left something to be just on a larger scale. Chillicothe’s Hirsch Fruit desired. Though she was selling her pretzels, Farm, for example, has supplied strawberries for pretzel buns and even pretzel pizza crusts to a Jeni’s Roasted Strawberry Buttermilk ice cream handful of local bars and restaurants, Baum says since day one. Back then, a flat of strawberries Eat Well brought a growth opportunity sooner would last her a week. Now, she buys 8,000 —Jeni Britton than she ever would have found alone. pounds every three weeks from the same farmers.

Bauer Lowe sees parallels between Baum and Britton (She now also sources strawberries from a farm in Bauer in her early days.

Jeni’s has been Snowville Creamery’s biggest “She looked a lot like Jeni probably looked,” he says. “She is customer since they began exclusively using the Athens-based a wonderful person with a great product, but the chances of her dairy farm’s milk and cream four years ago. Now, Jeni’s uses about breaking through from a single booth in the North Market? The 140,000 pounds of Snowville cream in a month. odds are low.”

“That’s business changing,” she says, “That’s supporting families.”

Baum feels comfortable working with Eat Well because they appreciate artisan products.

“They seem to really value inspiration behind their products. he women behind Luna Burger, the first product to join the They support that idea of small batches [that are] hand-created,” Eat Well family, can relate. Their veggie-burger company was she says. “That seems to be really important for Eat Well’s brand born with Ohio farmers in mind. and Jeni’s ultimately. She’s the same way.”

“We were able to really source our ingredients from local farms and fine-tune our recipes by being able to fulfill them with local produce,” co-founder Megan Luna says.

Megan and Barbie Luna began making veggie burgers in their ritton Bauer, 40, sits upright in her naturally lit office, arms kitchen five years ago. Both eat a vegan diet, so they tried making folded on her desk, as she discusses the philosophy behind patties with organic black beans, spelt berries, oats and spices sourced Eat Well. from local farmers for family and friends.

“It’s very simple,” she says, “We want to have really great “People would request them,” Megan says. “ ‘We need more food to eat. We want our kids to have good food to eat. If we can Luna burgers!’ That is what they’d call them.” (Luna is the last do anything we can to help that, it makes us happy and excited name Megan and Barbie chose to share when they married.) and proud.”

“It just sort of seemed like a natural fit, a natural way for us to have more time to focus on burgers and our own marketing, as opposed to having to deliver and ship [ourselves],” Barbie says.

Since joining Eat Well, Luna Burger’s wholesale business has more than doubled, Megan says.

“We were just beginning, just [selling in] Ohio,” she says.

“They’ve taken us to Chicago and New York and everywhere in between.” Their burgers are available throughout the Midwest and on the East Coast, and Lowe is hopeful they and other Eat Well products will soon be in specialty grocer Dean and Deluca.

But the Lunas still make everything from scratch, from simmering beans and blueberries to their own roasted-redpepper seasoning. With the help of two employees, they form and package each patty before sending them off to the Eat Well Distribution facility, adjacent to Jeni’s.

right midday sunshine meets Britton Bauer as she leaves her office and walks two doors down to Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams’ bakery kitchen. She welcomes men and women in suits and pencil skirts at the door. Inside, between ovens and stovetops used to bake pralines and mix decadent sauces for her gourmet ice cream products, a narrow table is set. The lunch menu is a veritable roll call of Ohio agriculture. Roasted Cinderella pumpkin seeds from Hirsch Fruit Farm, cheeses from Laurel Valley Creamery in Gallipolis and poached duck eggs from Rock Dove Farm in West Jefferson are just a few items in the spread.

Proceeds from the $65-a-plate luncheon benefit Local Matters, a nonprofit that supports Ohio-grown food co-founded

by Britton Bauer.

Dedication to this and dozens of other charities and organizations—Jeni’s donated 30 percent of its 2012 post-tax

revenue to charitable causes and plans to do the same for 2013— helps fulfill one arm of her company’s two-part mission: to serve the community. Eat Well’s mission closely aligns with that of Jeni’s.

“There is a need for good food in the world,” Britton Bauer says. “We should be creating food businesses here, should be feeding America good food from Ohio.” It’s a small way to make the world a better place, she says.

Lowe envisions Eat Well expanding in step with Jeni’s.

If Jeni’s opens distribution centers outside of Columbus, he imagines Eat Well will do the same. When that will happen, though, is still uncertain.

“Eat Well is still a tiny little business that we’re trying to make sure is going to remain profitable and provide a service that the market wants,” he says.

Britton Bauer doesn’t ever think about the future.

“I think about now, which is a little unusual for a company,” she says. “Companies usually have a five-year plan, and we don’t.”

One thing is almost certain: Jeni’s ice cream will always be made right here in Columbus. At this rate, Lowe says they’ll likely outgrow their production kitchen. Eventually, they’ll open another one, but it won’t be out of town—probably.

“There is so much wealth here in the Midwest,” Britton Bauer says. “We can do so much here that I will be 75 years old before I ever have to think about that.”

For now, she thinks about new flavors and recipes “every day, all the time.”

She reaches for a pink Moleskine notebook and flips through the pages. It’s empty, but soon, like scores of others, it will be filled cover-to-cover with sketches, recipe concepts and calculations—a glimpse into her creative process—and very likely, her next big idea.

Audi A3 Style: Entry-Level Luxury Sedan DetailS: Introduced in the mid-1990s,

the A3 is the German auto powerhouse’s entry-level vehicle. This model—similar in size to the original A4—sits on Volkswagen Group’s new MQB platform, which is lighter than the one it replaces.

Why it’S buzz-Worthy: For years, U.S.

Audi lovers have had access only to the A3 hatchback. Now, the hatchbackadverse—and families who want a bit more room—will be able to buy and drive the four-door A3 sedan, available in the U.S. for the first time. The good news: You can now own an Audi for as little as $30,000. Plus, a convertible version should arrive stateside soon, too, says Mark Brentlinger, CEO of Midwestern Auto Group.

Where you can finD it: Midwestern

Auto Group Audi

Lexus IS Style: Luxury Sedan DetailS: When it comes to dependability

and safety, the IS is classic Lexus. But the car needed a bit of a makeover—the model hadn’t really received a design overhaul since its 2006 debut—and the sharp new look is a welcome sight for those in the market for a high-end sedan that combines sport with elegance. The styling is more severe—the front end’s spindle grille is a nice touch for those who like a bit more attitude from their ride—and it’s a gadget geek’s dream. The IS comes with its own app suite, which allows you to make dinner reservations, listen to your favorite Pandora stations and more.

92

Why it’S buzz-Worthy: Lexus hit it out of the ballpark with the 2014 IS’s styling and performance. They’ve brought the car to a place where it’ll appeal to a younger market, and it’s roomy enough for a family but still sleek enough for the bachelor looking to impress. Two powerful engine options—the IS250 and the IS350—get 204 and 306 horsepower respectively. The 250 model can go from zero to 60 in about seven seconds but still manages to get 30 miles per gallon on the highway.

Where you can finD it: Germain Lexus

Dealer aSSeSSment: “I just bought the IS350 F sport, and it’s extremely fun to drive. The rubber in the tires is really soft, and they stick like glue when you go around corners,” says Brian Jordan, general manager of Germain Lexus of Easton.

“And since the car has all-wheel drive, it does awesome in the snow, too.

Lexus has really upped its game with the F Sport.”

Dealer aSSeSSment: “The price range is remarkably good for an Audi, and it’s incredibly well equipped, with features that a lot of the cars it’s competing with don’t have,” Brentlinger says.

Jaguar F-Type Style: Sports Car DetailS: Three supercharged engines: check.

Zero to 60 in five seconds: check. Jaguar returns to the serious sports-car market with the F-Type, a car to finally rival Porsche. The lightweight, aluminum two-seater offers style paired with performance and just a dash of luxury (but not enough to remove its roadster edge). A 5.0-liter V-8 engine boasts 495 horsepower, while two 3.0-liter V-6 engines get 340 and 380 horsepower respectively. And for those who want the wind in their hair, the top lowers in 12 seconds, at a speed of up to 30 miles per hour.

Why it’S buzz-Worthy: Jaguar hasn’t released

Where you can finD it: Byers Jaguar Dealer aSSeSSment: “It’s the first true

sports car that Jaguar’s done since the mid-70s, and it’s one of the coolest cars I’ve seen in a long time,” says Justin Paskey, brand specialist at Byers Jaguar. “The F-Type is putting out more horsepower than its competitive models, and it has the best sound of any car coming out of the manufacturing plant. It’s really giving Porsche a run for its money.”

Jeep Cherokee Style: SUV DetailS: The SUV original, responsible for bringing the off-road experience to suburbanites, gets a major redesign for 2014. The front end looks very little like the iconic Cherokee of yore—a good or a bad thing, depending on how you feel about its skinny, slanted headlights. But the core of what makes a Cherokee so appealing— its simultaneous city and trail friendliness—remains. It’s a spacious five-seater with two engine options. A 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine gets 184 horsepower, while a new 3.2-liter V-6 makes 271 horsepower.

Why it’S buzz-Worthy: The boxy,

strong-faced Jeep Cherokee is no more, at least for the 2014 model.

It’s a bold move for a company whose previous model has gained a following for a very specific styling, and it’s nice to see a car company take a few risks. The performance is on par with previous Cherokees, but there’s more to choose from now, including four trim levels (Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk), a rearview camera, a heated steering wheel and remote start.

Where you can finD it: Liberty

CJD, Performance CJD Dealer aSSeSSment: “We didn’t have a vehicle in this category … so it’s great to be able to compete with the [Honda] CRV and the [Ford] Escape,” says Doug Siebert, general manager at Performance Chrysler Jeep Dodge. “And as far as design and performance, a Jeep is Jeep. It’s got a good look. And there seems to be a lot of interest.”

a roadster in years, so the “comeback” title is befitting of their new F-Type. Much of what the British brand has done since the early 1970s has lived in the shadow of the E-Type, one of the most iconic cars of the last several decades.

And though the F-Type isn’t a dead-ringer for that racing favorite, it certainly steps up to the plate. It’s a modern car made for now, but there’s still something classic about the F-Type.

moving our economy forward.

Mercedes-Benz CLA Style: Entry-Level Luxury Sedan DetailS: The Mercedes-Benz CLA is a

substantial departure from the typical Benz styling—despite its four doors, it feels more like a coupe, with its short stature and aggressive design. It’s a smaller, more budget-friendly version of the CLS, but the interior has been influenced by the sportier SLK. It starts at $29,900 and is one of the most efficient four-door sedans Mercedes has offered.

Why it’S buzz-Worthy: With the CLA,

Mercedes-Benz is attempting to reach an entirely new audience at an entirely new price point. They’re looking to reach those in the young professional market, a group the brand hasn’t historically tried to woo.

Where you can finD it: Crown

Mercedes

Dealer aSSeSSment: “The C-Class

has historically been the car that the customer stretching to the luxury market from a Nissan or the Passat would have gone for.

The CLA was designed with this group in mind,” says Tom Sands, new and pre-owned sales manager at Crown Mercedes.

“But even though we’re marketing this to Generation Y, the people buying this car so far have been baby boomers!”

GMC Sierra 1500 Style: Four-Door Pickup Truck

a vehicle for getting the job done—the Sierra 1500 has been redesigned from the pavement up, and now it’s a luxury ride, too. Noteworthy features include an elegant interior, an 8-inch dash monitor and seats that vibrate when you’re backing up toward an oncoming vehicle.

Why it’S buzz-Worthy: The 1500 is

indeed a truck, but it doesn’t look, feel or even sound like one from the inside.

It’s worthy competition for car buyers who’d typically stick within the luxury SUV market, especially those with some serious hauling to do. The new Ecotec3 engine is worth noting, too. It’s a V-8 that’s more efficient than many V-6 engines, according to PJ Haydocy, dealer principal at Haydocy Buick GMC. Where you can finD it: Haydocy GMC

96

Dealer aSSeSSment: “In the old days, the truck was more of a work

vehicle, but this actually offers both [form and function],” Haydocy says. “And the Sierra 1500 now has a tailgate that a 98-year-old woman could open!”

Cadillac CTS Style: Luxury Sedan DeScription: When the 2014 Cadillac

CTS debuted in early 2013, it did so to kudos from the auto world thanks to its new look—lower to the ground, longer and sleeker than the previous iteration— as well as its improved performance.

The base CTS comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that gets 272 horsepower, meaning you don’t need the fanciest car in the lineup to enjoy some serious speed.

Why it’S buzz-Worthy: In short, the 2014 model is a brand-new CTS. It sits upon a bigger platform, offers a superquick twin-turbo V-6 engine option and looks smoother, less sharp-edged than its predecessor. With this new CTS, Cadillac aims to leave behind its square reputation and take on its European luxury competition.

Where you can finD it:

Capitol Cadillac

Mazda 6 Style: Mid-Size Sedan DeScription: The 2014 Mazda 6 received a complete redesign, and it’s aesthetically and technologically better for it. The size is similar to previous generations, but the weight’s been reduced significantly (thanks to ultra-strong but lightweight steel), the engine and transmission are more efficient and the safety technology’s been upgraded. Plus, the connectivity between the car and the phone has never been so seamless.

98

Why it’S buzz-Worthy: Mazda

Where you can finD it: Germain Mazda

succeeded at creating an economic sports sedan that doesn’t look or feel like a value—a feat considering the car’s performance has improved, too (and the Mazda6 now gets 40 miles per gallon on the highway). Mazda’s always been known as a driver’s car, and the brand was able to go back to the drawing board to create a more efficient ride that hasn’t scarified anything for the sake of fuel economy. It feels like an upscale ride—but it’s still outrageously fun to drive.

Dealer aSSeSSment: “The real meat and potatoes of this car is the performance,” says Paul Germain, general manager of Germain Mazda. “It’s still competing with cars like the Honda Accord, but Mazda’s designed and built this car with a luxury audience in mind.

People want great features and a great car without paying a premium price.”

photos: Courtesy General Motors Co.; Mazda

Dealer aSSeSSment: “I didn’t think they could improve on this car, but they went beyond improvement,” says Rick Biszantz, general sales manager for Capitol Cadillac in Dublin. “The CTS has been in production since 2003, and now with these enhancements … it’s just unlike anything we’ve had before. It’s roomier inside; it feels like a much bigger sedan.

And this is the direction for all new Cadillac models.”

Behind the List

What is Best Doctors? Best Doctors offers a suite of services that enable people to draw on the knowledge of medical experts to make sure they have the right diagnosis and get the right care. This list is excerpted from The Best Doctors in America® database, which includes more than 45,000 U.S. physicians in more than 40 medical specialties worldwide. The database is compiled and maintained by Best Doctors Inc. For more information, visit bestdoctors.com or contact Best Doctors by phone at 800-675-1199 or by email at research@bestdoctors.com.

Gallup® has audited and certified Best Doctors Inc.’s database of physicians, and its companion The Best Doctors in America® List, as using the highest industry standards survey methodology and processes. These lists are excerpted from The Best Doctors in America® 2014 database, which includes more than 45,000 doctors in more than 40 medical specialties. The Best Doctors in America® database is compiled and maintained by Best Doctors Inc. For more information, visit bestdoctors.com or contact Best Doctors by phone at 800-675-1199 or by email at research@bestdoctors.com. Please note that lists of doctors are not available on the Best Doctors website.

Best Doctors, Inc. has used its best efforts in assembling materials for this list, but does not warrant that the information contained here is complete or accurate, and does not assume, and hereby disclaims, any liability to any person or other party for any loss or damage caused by errors or omissions herein, whether such errors or omissions result from negligence, accident or any other cause.

Who chooses the doctors? Best Doctors physicians are selected by other doctors through a comprehensive review process; every two years, Best Doctors surveys physicians and asks: “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in a certain specialty, who would you choose?” The result of the survey is the list you’ll find on the following pages.

BEST DOCTORS, THE BEST DOCTORS IN AMERICA, and the Star-inCross Logo are trademarks of Best Doctors, Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries, and are used under license.

Can a doctor pay to appear on a Best Doctors list? Doctors cannot pay to be included on the Best Doctors list or nominate themselves for consideration.

Copyright © 2013, Best Doctors, Inc. Used under license, all rights reserved. This list, or any parts thereof, must not be reproduced in any form without written permission from Best Doctors, Inc. No commercial use of the information in this list may be made without the permission of Best Doctors, Inc. No fees may be charged, directly or indirectly, for the use of the information in this list without permission.

This annual roster of medical professionals—peer-reviewed and peerselected—includes hundreds of physicians in various medical specialties, from dermatologists to neurologists. Nearly 700 Central Ohio physicians have been named a “Best Doctor” according to the 2014 list by Best Doctors Inc., a Boston-based company that’s been producing these lists for more than 20 years.

We choose to run this list because we know that half the battle in medical care is knowing where to start, and this list is a great tool for doing so. It’s by no means comprehensive, but from pediatricians to rare-cancer specialists, it includes a substantial range of MDs. You take your health care seriously and have questions about who determines these lists, so we’ve put together a list of frequently asked questions (and answers) about how the doctors are chosen.

Are the results adjusted? The results of the peer-to-peer physician survey—one of the largest of its kind—are not adjusted in any way.

If my doctor is not on the list, does that mean he isn’t a great doctor? No. If your doctor does not appear on the list, it simply means that he or she was not nominated by one or more of the doctors in the Best Doctors in America database.

MD MATCH-MAkING

Dr. Chad Braun, residency program director for Mount Carmel, works with patients from the moment they’re discharged from the hospital as newborns to the moment they re-enter as adults. He also teaches the hospital system’s residents and medical students how to provide the best care. Here, he offers his tips for choosing the right physician. Jenny Rogers

What steps should a patient take to find the right doctor?

CB: My recommendation is to find someone that you know and respect and ask them about their doctor and what they like about him or her.

There are certainly resources, like the Best Doctors list, but personal recommendation is often best. Also, looking for doctors affiliated with academic centers is something to consider, as [these doctors] stay abreast of what’s going on in the field.

Ultimately, many people chose a doctor by word of mouth. And then, of course, it’s important to meet with the doctor.

Anything else?

CB: It’s imperative that you feel comfortable with a doctor, as well as the other staff. You don’t want to feel rushed during an appointment … You want to be able to sit down, communicate and connect. You’ll need to be able to tell this person pretty much everything, and that’s a lot easier to do if the relationship is more of a partnership. A doctor may have 30 people to see in one day, of course, but you still want them to take the time to connect with you. Don’t settle for a doctorpatient relationship that doesn’t meet your needs. That cannot, and will not, be the best thing for your care.

A patient has narrowed down his or her list. What should he or she consider?

CB: What’s important to you from an access standpoint? When I asked other physicians about this, most felt timeliness and accessibility were critical considerations—do you want to be able to email your doctor or speak to him or her online? Do you want to be able to get in to see your doctor the same day? How important is face-toface interaction? We’re moving into an interesting time in terms of new and different ways to access your physicians, and this accessibility is an important thing to consider.

Are there any other resources for patients looking for a new doc?

CB: If there’s a special thing that an individual identifies with—whether it’s gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation— there are resources online that will list these physicians. It can be difficult to go to a doctor that doesn’t really understand who you are, so this can be helpful. You do have to be careful with online ratings, of course. Always try to find a personal recommendation.

“It’s imperative that you feel comfortable with a doctor, as well as the other staff.”

cancer screenings What you need and when you need it We talked to two of the city’s cancer experts—Dr. Jerry Mitchell, a member of the medical oncology and hematology team at the Mark H. Zangmeister Center, and Dr. Peter Shields, deputy director of The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center—for advice on what screenings to get and when to get them. Jenny Rogers For a cancer screening to exist, according to Mitchell, it must meet three criteria: It must be cheap enough for the general population to afford; it must screen for a disease that is relatively common; and it must screen for a disease that is treatable.

Mitchell says this topic is controversial but notes there are established guidelines individuals should follow.

“It’s not as simple as, ‘What should I get done?’ ” Mitchell says.

“But there are some screenings that are well established and have benefits.”

Colon Cancer The least controversial cancer screening is the colonoscopy, an examination that everyone should have, starting at age 50. For individuals with a family history of colon cancer, the first screening should take place 10 years before the youngest member of the family was diagnosed with the disease. Colonoscopies should be scheduled every 10 years.

Shields says the colonoscopy is the only screening that can truly be considered “prevention.” That’s because the exam finds polyps, which gradually develop into cancer. “It takes 10 or more years for a polyp to become cancer,” Shields says. “So anyone who is over the age of 60, has never had a colonoscopy and develops cancer … they probably had a preventable disease. And that’s really a tragedy.”

Lung Cancer The latest cancer screening is a new recommendation from the U.S. Preventive Health Task Force, an organization that historically has been stringent with cancer-screening approvals. It’s not for everyone, though, notes Shields.

The screening is for those at high risk for developing lung cancer—including current smokers with significant tobacco history and smokers who have quit within the last 15 years. “It took a really large study to get here.

Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent,” Shields says.

“This, to me, is a huge development,” adds Mitchell. All three local hospital systems (Mount Carmel, OhioHealth and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center) offer this screening for $99.

Breast Cancer “It’s clear that mammograms are useful,” Mitchell says.

“What’s been controversial is when to start getting them.” The U.S. Preventive Health Task Force recommends women begin at age 50, but Mitchell feels it’s a decision that should be left up to the patient. “Have a discussion with your primary-care doctor and then make your own choice.”

Cervical Cancer The recommendation for women’s cervical cancer screenings is to begin at age 21 or at the age when sexual activity begins, as cervical cancer is a sexually transmitted virus. This screening is recommended annually until age 30; then, if a patient has had only negative results, it’s recommended every three years. “You can stop doing pap smears if you’re over age 65 and you’ve never had a positive result,” Mitchell says. “If you haven’t developed cervical cancer by 65, it’s not likely that you’re going to.”

understanding Health Care reform Whether it’s a direct result of the affordable Care act or an answer to market demands, health care is changing. We’ve outlined what these changes, notably increased coordination of care, mean for Central ohioans. by michelle sullivan

Imagine you’re admitted to the hospital for a heart problem. It turns out to be a minor issue, but you’re advised to check in with your primary-care physician in a few months. When you get to your appointment, your doctor might not even know you had a hospital stay until you say something.

That’s because there’s currently little communication between hospitals and doctors’ offices, says Dr. Ben Humphrey, CEO of the Medical Group of Ohio. But thanks to the Affordable Care Act—and some new locally developed counterpart programs—that lack of communication may be a problem of the past.

Today, partnerships like one between OhioHealth and the Medical Group of Ohio (known as Health4) have been established to increase coordination of care, strengthen communication between doctors and hospitals and better share important medical information.

Established in 2010, Health4 is a network of Medical Group of Ohio physicians who see patients in OhioHealth facilities (as well as other facilities). Within the network, patient care is coordinated and monitored by a team of administrators who share test results on a server that any doctor can access. Nurses and system monitors can use this network to send patients reminders when it’s time to schedule regular visits and tests.

These partnerships are known as Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), and Humphrey says they’ll help make your health care better and more affordable.

118

Columbus Monthly • December 2013

“We have an epidemic in this country of not very accountable or coordinated [health] care,” Humphrey says. “The Affordable Care Act was stimulated to come into play because there are a lot of problems with getting the care that is needed at a cost that’s affordable.”

This new model of health care delivery, in which value is measured in quality of care rather than volume, is a team-based system that integrates physicians, insurance providers and patients and prioritizes disease prevention. The Affordable Care Act outlines the implementation of government-declared ACOs, but

some local health care systems have already adopted their own versions.

“What we are attempting to do is address many of the things anyone encountering health issues wishes the system delivered, in the way of quality and affordability,” says Humphrey. “Not just in clinical quality, but also quality of service and access. We have troubles in those areas in this country.”

This model of care is more integrated than what we’ve experienced in the past.

When a sick person undergoes testing and treatment, those results and records are not only saved in the system but also

monitored by nurses responsible for tracking progress and determining next steps.

This change is arguably most evident between inpatient and outpatient arenas.

The hospital-stay scenario, for example: The ACO model ensures the physician at your follow-up appointment knows all about that hospital visit and then some, as your records will transfer automatically. The only catch: you must stay within the same health care system to benefit—at least for now.

Focusing on prevention

The new health care law prevents insurance holders from being charged a premium for pre-existing medical conditions, a relief to those who have previously struggled with both illness and insurance woes. Under the new law, the emphasis for pre-existing conditions—asthma, cancer, heart disease and diabetes, to name some of the most common—is on prevention. But preventing disease from exacerbating in patients isn’t the only incentive for physicians.

All patients are recommended to receive regular preventive care, like routine mammograms and colonoscopies. Physicians practicing in ACOs are financially incentivized when patients get these screenings.

In traditional ACOs, as proposed under the Affordable Care Act, physicians are reimbursed through Medicare. With these private “lower-case” ACOs—as described by Humphrey—the incentives are negotiated with insurance companies.

Incentives vary from one ACO to another.

In theory, Humphrey says, incentives for providing more preventive care keep patients healthier longer and allow health care systems to provide more affordable care when patients need it.

The Affordable Care Act outlines the implementation of government-declared ACOs, but some local health care systems have already adopted their own versions.

patient-centered care

Another health care model in tune with the ACO model is a shift toward patient-centered medical homes. In the medical home model, patient treatment is coordinated by a primary-care physician, and a centralized setting often facilitates partnerships between patients and MDs. There’s a strong emphasis on making sure patients understand their health care.

Two years ago, the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s

Department of Family Medicine received the “Medical Home” title, an accreditation granted through the National Committee for Quality Assurance.

“One goal is to work on population management and transitions of care,” says department chair Dr. Mary Jo Welker. Care coordinators—typically nurses and medical assistants—ensure patients transitioning

from hospital to home receive the care they need. This includes scheduling postop consultations, sending prescriptions to the pharmacy and confirming follow-up visits with primary-care physicians.

Like ACOs, these care coordinators also prioritize preventive care.

“We’re seeing ACOs pop up in various areas, as well as more hospital mergers. Is it a result of the Affordable Care Act? It’s hard to say. Is it as result of the rising cost of health care? There’s no doubt about that.”

routine tests. Any person who has visited the OSU Medical Center’s Department of Family Medicine—between 60,000 and 65,000 people annually—receives reminders about outstanding screenings.

As with an ACO, some insurance providers pay the Department of Family Medicine monthly, per member, for the coordination of care for their patients, as well as for hitting the target for recommended prevention screenings.

Acting as a patient-centered medical home and focusing on chronicdisease management and prevention is “the foundation for an Accountable Care Organization,” Welker says.

“What we’re doing is … in an effort to function as an ACO or with an ACO.” These changes, some say, were a long time coming. But in a classic case of the chicken and the egg, which came first?

“We’re seeing ACOs pop up in various areas, as well as more hospital mergers,” Humphreys says. “Is it a result of the Affordable Care Act? It’s hard to say. Is it as result of the rising cost of health care? There’s no doubt about that.”

Better Care Now

The Affordable Care Act has indeed triggered some of the changes in health care delivery, says Jeff Biehl, president of Access HealthColumbus, a nonprofit, publicprivate partnership focused on improving health care delivery in the local community.

“It’s not a reason for all the change, but it has been a catalyst to accelerate some of the change,” Biehl adds.

ACOs impact the way physicians interact with patients. Traditionally,

physicians are paid fee-for-service, rather than for engaging with patients.

“Traditional business models of health care are being turned on their head,” Biehl says.

Accountable care models are also changing the way physicians organize and deliver health care services. Under a feefor-service model, a doctor might pose the question, “Can I get paid for this?” Within the accountable care framework, the doctor instead asks, “What has evidence shown will improve health?” That answer, Biehl notes, is the route the doctor will take.

Mount Carmel Health Systems has two primary-care practices that are certified as patient-centered medical homes and recently established an ACO with health insurance provider UnitedHealthcare.

It’s a relationship “where we’re using a clinical integration model to not only reduce the cost of care but improve the caliber of care,” says Dr. Richard Streck, executive vice president and chief clinical operations officer for Mount Carmel.

This model stems from the notion that by delivering proper preventive care, major health problems are avoided, as are the high costs of care needed to treat them.

“When the system works well, we end up with patients that are healthier and don’t require the acute-care services they would if we had reached that point of deterioration,” Streck says. These services, he says, are often much more invasive and expensive.

Patient health remains the top priority.

“The key is to demonstrate by hard metrics that we’re improving the quality of care,” Streck says. “It’s not about rationing or withholding services. It’s not just the maintenance of quality of care but also the improvement of it.”

Physicians working in this model will measure improvements through readmission rates, disease management and prevention, patient safety and care delivery. If they can prove the quality of their care is improving and costs are reduced as a result, they’ll share in those cost savings with UnitedHealthcare.

For Streck, it’s an exciting time for health care and a rewarding time to be a clinician. “Now that we’re moving from beyond waiting for patients to get sick,” he says, “we can actually keep our patients in the community healthier.”

comparing costs

Private insurance exchanges opened just months ago. There is still some uncertainty about how the Affordable Care Act will affect existing insurance coverage when new plans go into effect next year, but there are a few things we do know.

Buy insurance, or else Under the Affordable Care Act, health insurance is mandatory.

Those who remain uninsured or choose to pass up coverage through their employer will be hit with fees starting at $95 per person or one percent of annual income, whichever is greater, according to healthcare.gov. By 2016, the fee will increase to $695 per person or 2.5 percent of annual income.

compare costs Before you’re Billed for medical services

The health care reform law is expected to provide coverage for half of the nation’s nearly 50 million uninsured people, either through private plans or Medicaid. One thing that won’t change is the high deductibles that require more out-of-pocket pay, common in many plans.

“Patients are noticing they are bearing a lot more responsibility for the cost of care,” says Dr. Blaize O’Brien, medical director for Ohio ENT and chairman of the board of the Ohio Surgery Center. He and his colleagues commonly field questions from patients wanting to know up front the cost of procedures.

O’Brien recommends patients cost-shop services before making a decision, as some facilities offer the same test or procedure at a fraction of the cost of others. Procedures commonly performed at the independently owned Ohio Surgery Center outpatient facility—such as ear tube surgeries and tonsillectomies—might cost a patient less.

For example, UnitedHealthcare’s estimate for a tonsillectomy at the surgery center is $1,899, while its estimate for the same procedure at Nationwide Children’s Hospital is $6,746, according to O’Brien.

Depending on the severity of the condition and invasiveness of the surgery, a patient might not be a candidate for an outpatient facility. O’Brien and the 19 other Ohio ENT physicians can also perform surgeries at local hospitals and inpatient facilities.

Insurance coverage is also a major factor when it comes to comparing costs. Many of the top insurance providers feature online tools members can use to compare the cost of services among eligible in-network health care providers.

One example is Aetna’s member payment estimator, which provides real-time, out-of-pocket cost estimates for a medical procedure based on a member’s personal benefits plan.

The tool “will proactively display up to 10 cost estimates at a time for the selected procedure in a geographic area, which can help make members more aware of the cost differences among different health care providers,” says Aetna spokesperson Ethan Slavin.

Regardless of your situation or condition, it can’t hurt to do the research.

“The more awareness [patients] have, the better their decision-making will be,” O’Brien says. “Patients should be interested in finding out what things will cost on the front end, rather than getting billed for them on the back end.”

Creating a Medical Community Keeping physicians connected by focusing on the creation of a strong medical community has become the primary mission of the Columbus Medical Association

by Gary stelluti

It’s familiar lexicon: The Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), Accountable Care Organizations, Patient-Centered Medical Homes, Population Health Management.

The list goes on. Health care has reached the tipping point, and large-scale changes are happening now.

For doctors, these changes mean increased aggregation: There are more physicians than ever becoming health-system employees, and many Central Ohio MDs are also joining large specialty groups and clinically integrated networks as a means to deliver better coordinated care.

This shift has also increased data sharing and has led to an increase in preventive visits and wellness care and better management of chronic diseases.

These innovations are, in part, what the marketplace has demanded, but whether these approaches are built for long-term success remains to be seen. What has become very apparent is, despite all of these changes, the medical community is more isolated than ever.

But why does a physician community even matter?

“There are fewer opportunities for physicians to get to know each other and support each other,” says Phil Cass, CEO of the Columbus Medical Association (CMA).

“This has had a profound effect, not only on physician relations, but on patient care.”

Renewing Relationships

Dr. Bill Wulf can attest to how personal relationships between primary-care physicians and specialists have changed over the years. He says much of this can 122

be attributed to geographic boundaries, narrower physician networks and the fact that very few primary-care physicians spend time in the hospital. Most inpatient rounding is done by hospitalists and specialists.

“We simply don’t run into each other like we used to,” says Wulf, CEO of Central Ohio Primary Care. “In the past, we had the ability to have informal ‘curbside consults’ with specialists regarding issues or concerns we had with our patients.”

Now, Wulf says, doctors need to develop a new mechanism for sharing clinical information that both parties believe is valuable. CMA is using technology and scheduled events to

“In the past, we had the ability to have informal ‘curbside consults’ with specialists regarding issues or concerns we had with our patients.”

—Dr. Bill Wulf

facilitate this contact between primarycare doctors and specialists.

“I believe patients will benefit from this improved communication,” Wulf says.

This need, of course, is why CMA is continuing its evolution away from a typical membership organization to one that focuses on the development of a real community of physicians.

Extensive research conducted by the association indicates that physicians want to better relate to one another on a personal level as well as a professional one. But with pressure to see more patients, longer hours and their own family obligations, physicians—like the rest of society—have less time for this interaction.

A little more than a year ago, CMA introduced The Loop, a digital physicianonly platform that has become a place for physicians to create new relationships, get to know one another and share the best practices in a forum similar to the doctor’s lounges of previous generations.

“More than 700 physicians have logged into The Loop and participated in one way or another,” says Diane May, CMA director of member relations and services.

“What we’ve learned along the way is that physicians want to take it to the next level and develop an organized approach for sharing clinical information, in its truest sense. The sharing of clinical information is missing, and they want it to return.”

A Network for ShAriNg

CMA has facilitated conversations with Central Ohio’s hospital systems and the large physician groups to agree upon the parameters for the association’s new Clinical Share program. This program will be designed to disseminate mutually agreed upon clinical information, guidelines and new technologies.

“CMA is well-positioned to facilitate collegial communication among physicians in our community about issues that enhance care delivery and improve public

health,” says Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, chief medical officer for OhioHealth. “Effective communication is, after all, at the heart of great patient care.”

Cass believes the Clinical Share program will become the place for physicians to share information openly and honestly.

Dr. Erick Forrest, director of ambulatory services for the Wexner Medical Center and director of the Ohio State University voice and swallowing disorders clinic, agrees.

“Most physicians are agreeable to receiving good clinical information (without feeling like they are being marketed to) in order to make informed decisions on behalf of their patients,” he says. “It’s very appealing to participate in a community within which physicians can have open discussions about patient care and best practices, regardless of hospital affiliation.”

Forrest adds that each department at the university could benefit from participating in the program.

the growiNg role of CMA

By cultivating and maintaining the largest, most accurate electronic database of physicians in Central Ohio, CMA takes its role as an honest broker of clinical information seriously.

“We know we are wading into waters that, if not managed properly, can potentially cause additional friction within the health care community,” Cass says. “But we believe this is the right thing to do as

physicians. Sharing clinical information goes a long way in contributing to better care.”

The Mark H. Zangmeister Center, a longtime CMA member, will be one of the early participants in the Clinical Share program.

Their 13 cancer specialists have a strong interest in sharing clinical information with Central Ohio’s medical community.

“We have access to the same clinical trials and research and approach cancer care with the same protocols as the large cancer institutions,” says Glenn Balasky, the center’s executive director. “We also provide a unique patient experience at our center and work hard to be good partners with referring practices and their physicians. This program has the potential to be very valuable for all Central Ohio physicians.”

As the Clinical Share program develops and grows, CMA is hopeful to add face-to-face events and opportunities for participants.

“Perhaps the idea of an ‘open grand rounds’ isn’t too far in the future,” Cass says.

“Participating physicians will have a lot to say regarding where this program ultimately leads, and that is good news for Central Ohio’s health.” n Gary Stelluti provides communications and marketing services to the Columbus Medical Association through Health Care Marketing Strategies.

the Parmageddon

Photo: tessa Berg

Cheese, Please Every day, somewhere along the Interstate 71 corridor driving from Cleveland to Columbus is a van loaded with pierogi, the key ingredient to one of Melt Bar and Grilled’s most popular sandwiches. The Parmageddon, which owner Matt Fish says has been an iconic sandwich for the kitschy grilled cheese cafe since it opened in Cleveland in 2006, uses the popular Polish dumplings stuffed with mashed potatoes and onions as its centerpiece. Fish is bringing them to Melt’s new Short North eatery, which opened in mid-November and offers 20 sandwiches stuffed with everything from the basics (like just cheese) to the absurd (like lasagna or curry chicken) and a hefty list of craft beers to wash them down. Inspired by a pierogi he ate in Parma, a Cleveland suburb known for its Polish-American population, the sandwich is often a nostalgia kick for Clevelanders looking for a bite of their childhood. The Parmageddon is packed with dumplings, vodka sauerkraut, sauteed onions and sharp cheddar, creating a nearly 4-inch-tall beast. Is Fish worried the sandwich won’t translate to Columbus? “There’s just so much happening in it,” he says. “It’s very Cleveland, but the sandwich is just so awesome that even someone who’s never had a pierogi will get it.” 840 N.

Breaking the Mold

A Bluescreek double pork chop and the Tuscan Kale and Butternut Squash Salad

Despite missteps along the way, the new offerings at Latitude 41 surpass the expected ho-hum hotel restaurant fare

L

atitude 41 would like to be your destination for dinner on Friday night, even if—maybe especially if—you’re not a guest at the Renaissance Hotel above it. For years, the restaurant has called out from its bright awning, complete with the name of celebrity-lite chef Dean James Max, to its desired audience, the thousands of Downtown workers who walk and drive by every day.

The restaurant went through a fallow period this year between chefs, but hotel-restaurant veteran Michael Koenig has been at the helm since late June, again luring people from outside the hotel with fresh, sustainable, local, modern, American food suitable for a special night out for anyone.

136

Koenig’s menu changes a little bit every day—take note of the date at the bottom of the page—and it ventures further than the average hotel restaurant, offering a tasting menu and giving shout-outs to local producers and farmers. But good ideas are not consistently converted to good food here. You can smear sweet fig jam and umami-bomb caramelized onions on a pizza ($10), but if the crust is still pale and soft when it arrives at a diner’s table, it’s just an assemblage of ingredients that didn’t meet their potential.

A vegan pumpkin soup ($6), speckled with autumnal spices, which should have been smooth, was pulpy. Roasted grape tomatoes in the Lamb Sausage Pasta ($16) exploded with sweet, ripe flavor

unanswered anywhere else in the dish; the under-seasoned lamb sausage, pasta and wan spinach stayed mute. A classic scallops entree ($24) with saffron risotto, leeks and spinach would have been a home run had it been seasoned. Chicken liver pate was perfectly spreadable but overwhelmingly metallic and bitter. These are examples of good recipes that did not turn into great dishes during our visits.

But when the kitchen gets it right, it really gets it right: mussels ($11) with Angry Orchard hard cider, fennel, shallot and creme fraiche were plump and bountiful, and grilled bread was the ideal vehicle for the sauce left at the bottom of the deep bowl. It seems like everyone is doing mussels these days,

Fig and Goat Cheese Pizza

and these were some of the best we’ve had in Columbus. A Bluescreek double pork chop ($25) was perfectly cooked, pink and juicy inside, and evenly, deeply seared on the outside. Soak up juices with forkfuls of herb-flecked spaetzle, but skip the roasted spaghetti squash on the side, which made a strong case that there is such a thing as too much butter.

Saba, a syrupy reduction of unfermented grape juice from Italy, shows up on Koenig’s menus frequently. That’s great for salad lovers looking for an alternative to good ol’ balsamic; saba has a similar color but a more complex flavor and, in Koenig’s application, a richer body.

Try it on the Tuscan Kale and Butternut Squash Salad ($9), a tousle of dinosaur kale ribbons sprinkled with roasted squash, goat cheese and toasted walnuts (at lunch, add chicken and feel satisfied, not stuffed).

Peruse other hotel restaurant menus and, aside from Gallerie at the new Downtown Hilton, dishes as adventurous as these are scarce. Also worth noting is the pricing at Latitude 41, which doesn’t gouge the customer the way many hotel restaurants do; what diners get for their money is a good value. One tradeoff is the atmosphere, which is on the grandiose side, with too-dramatically high ceilings, bloated banquettes and red synthetic curtains that hang beside every mirrored column in the dining room. Lately, those

Renaissance Hotel is a worthy dinner destination even for those who call Columbus home.

Rating: HHH

curtains have been drawn to divide the gaping dining room into smaller parcels, often for private dining events. They don’t close neatly or elegantly, and the room winds up looking slipshod and strange. One Friday night, I occupied the lone table in a curtained-off portion of the dining room; the experience was surreal. The server, knowledgeable and friendly, did his best to make up for it, exchanging just enough small talk, steering me away from bland menu items and gently instructing me to stir a quenelle of mascarpone cheese into a bowl of pasta to make a creamy sauce.

For something more consistently social, try dinner in the adjacent lounge for a more casual, fun feel. Small clusters of Downtown co-workers frequent tables here, as do hotel guests. The result is a pleasant cacophony of conversation and laughter. The bar menu is well edited, and happy hour offers excellent values on nibbles. Try the Corn Flake Fried Chicken Pieces ($8, $5 during happy hour), which are just plain fun to eat. Dip them in the Blue Jacket Dairy feta dip that accompanies your order of housemade chips ($2, 99 cents during happy hour) rather than the ho-hum ranch that arrives with the chicken. The chips are fun, salty and greasy, too, so be quick on the draw when sharing with a friend.

Also on the bar menu: several of the “share” plates, salads and pizzas on the dining room dinner menu. Find one of the banquettes along the wall; the pillows there are extra-plush, and you’ll have the best people-watching view in the room.

Middle West LAUNCHES LINE OF VINEGARS

Middle West Spirits has teamed up with Cleveland chef Jonathon Sawyer (known for his sustainable restaurant The Greenhouse Tavern) to start Tavern Vinegar Co.—a line of craft beer- and wine-based vinegars created with the chef and bartender in mind.

“We’re a culinary company first,” says Middle West Spirits co-owner Ryan Lang. It took two years for the Columbus-Cleveland team to create the first batch of seven oak-barrel-aged vinegars ranging from a tart chardonnay wine vinegar to a malt-like craft beer ale vinegar. The hope is that they will be used by restaurants all over the country.

SLIDER RESTAURANT Club 185 OWNERS COMING TO Wonder PLAN TO OPEN bread BUILDING ITALIAN VILLAGE Traveling around the globe proved one EATERY thing to Crystal Park—mini burgers aren’t just everywhere; they also seem to work well anywhere, too. That’s why Park settled on a gourmet slider concept for her restaurant Cray Eatery and Drinkery, located in the Wonder Bread Building in Italian Village. The menu is the brainchild of Challah food truck co-owner Catie Randazzo, a friend of Park, who will craft a list of 15 to 20 sliders, rotating options every six months. According to Park, there will be beef, chicken, turkey, seafood, black bean and quinoa options—“something for everyone,” she says, including vegetarians and vegans. The part-time bartender and former Huntington Bank employee hopes that all-inclusive vibe will spread to her bar, too. “We’ll feature 15 infused liquors that will change with the seasons,” Park says, citing vodka with Werther’s Original candies as one example. “It’s something no other place has.” For now, the plan is to open Cray for dinner nightly and brunch on weekends. Park hopes to open the 2,500-square-foot, 82-seat space on Feb. 1, 2014. ▼ Beth Stallings

Columbus Monthly • December 2013

Randy and Tina Corbin—owners of Philco, El Camino Inn, Little Palace, The Rossi and Club 185—are adding a sixth restaurant to their lineup. The restaurateurs signed a lease last month for Sunset Lounge (883 N. Fourth St.), a former Italian Village soul food restaurant that’s been closed for about a year. They’re hoping to open a new Corbin-brand business in the space

by March or April. “It’ll be a familiar concept—a neighborhood bar with good food,” says Tina, adding that the couple will likely either keep the original restaurant name or change it to something that alludes to its previous life. “I don’t think that area has anything like that. We’re starting from the beginning over there.” The now-gutted space will seat 45 to 50 people and have a new patio when it opens, she says. ▼ Emily Thompson

Flavor in the Details In his first year as executive chef of Barcelona, Jacob Hough has made small changes to yield a big difference

J

acob Hough always wanted to work at Barcelona. The Pennsylvania School of Culinary Arts grad applied for a job as a line cook several times, he recalls, but never got hired.

So Hough took a job as a line cook at the Bexley Monk, biding his time until he got the call to take an opening at Barcelona.

Hough would eventually work his way up from the line at the German Village institution to sous chef, a No. 2 position he held for two and a half years under longtime Barcelona executive chef Paul Yow, who left to open his own restaurant in 2012.

Now executive chef at the Spanish-inspired restaurant, Hough has made subtle changes to the Barcelona menu over the past year in an attempt to give it a deeper taste of Spain. And so far, the chef says, it’s made a difference to customers.

“Diners have said things are better for all the right reasons,” says the 34-yearold chef, who immediately amped up Barcelona’s paella recipe—adding more spices, peppers and jalapenos to the base of the classic, aromatic Spanish dish—when he got the job last year. “It wasn’t bad. I just wanted to give the flavor more of a boost.”

He applied the same philosophy to the tapas menu, expanding the offerings to include 12 to 15 small plates on a tasting menu that rotates every Tuesday. Hough added dishes like a braised beef short rib with fried leeks and a Spanish blue cheese and mushroom sauce, as well as a crispy pork shank with smoked paprika and rosemary cream sauce.

It’s like homey, comfort food, he says, but simplified. “Our food is simple, but with a lot of flavor,” explains Hough, who plans to add more game meats to the menu this season, such as boar and ostrich. “As chefs, we tend to overdo things. But with Spanish food, it’s simple, fresh.” tBeth Stallings Columbus Monthly • December 2013

For a per-person fee (usually $40 to $60), he’ll turn your get-together of 10 people or more into a speakeasy, teaching guests how to make old-timey drinks while sharing Prohibition-era trivia and quoting cocktail expert Dale DeGroff. tJenny Rogers

How’d you venture into the world of craft cocktails?

I had bartended in college, at the old Buckeye Hall of Fame. When my wife and I got engaged—and I realized how expensive a wedding can be—I wanted to make some extra money. So I decided to get a bartending gig again and got in touch with the guys at Sidebar 122.

Then I ended up training [in vintage craft cocktails] for three days under Michael Ruble of The Violet Hour in Chicago. This is one of the first places to be nominated for a James Beard award for their drinks.

I learned more during that training than in all my years of bartending.

So how did Speakeasy Kitchen come to be?

I started out creating these drinks for my friends, and then realized I could do so much more with it. This just couldn’t have worked five years ago. I’m creating fresh, exciting drinks and craft cocktails [that] everyone’s into right now.

What’s an evening with Speakeasy Kitchen look like?

Before the party, I’ll come over to see your space to make sure it will work and to talk about the cocktails I’m thinking about serving. On the night of the party, I’ll set up three stations: one for me and two for your guests. We’ll make the drinks (between five and 10), step-by-step, and I’ll explain a little about the cocktail’s construction … why we need the sugar, the fat and the acid. We’ll be using totally fresh ingredients, homemade syrups, aromatic bitters and craft ice. All of my ingredients are local—including basil and mint from my garden.

Hiring me just makes your event easier. Speakeasy Kitchen is totally interactive—I walk the group through the history of the cocktail scene in 1980s New York City, share a little of my background, crack some jokes and explain my six degrees to Dale DeGroff, the father of the

craft cocktail scene (and author of “The Craft of the Cocktail”).

From the Speakeasy Kitchen:

StocKyard Pony

1 dash angostura bitters 3 lemon slices (about an eighth of a lemon each), muddled 1/4 ounce one-to-one simple syrup 1/2 ounce aperol 2 ounces old Granddad 100 proof bourbon In a shaker tin, shake over five ice cubes (roughly 1-by-1-inch if possible) until there’s a visible frost on the metal exterior. Strain liquid (ideally with a Hawthorne strainer) into a chilled double rocks glass over ice (this time, 2-by-2-inch cubes if possible).
