SHARE THE GIFT OF TIMELESS FASHION

From the Editor-in-Chief This editor’s letter comes to you from a high-speed train ride through the Spanish plains as I trek from Madrid to Barcelona with my daughter. Before typing these first few sentences, I reviewed the last 7.5 years of Columbus editions to make sure not to repeat the topic I hope to tackle. It turns out, I have covered it in exactly 10% of issues! But, bear with me, because I think it is a conversation worth repeating: adventure.

My first conscious awareness of my need for adventure came in 2017. I had just dropped my bags at the Kripalu dorm in the Berkshire Mountains, where I planned to spend a long weekend alone in meditation with clean food and yoga. As my feet hit the trail leading to the labyrinth on the property, a faint and tiny voice whispered to me, “You were built for adventure.” Truly, I had never experienced anything like it and had to look around to triple-check that I was, indeed, alone. Having devoted some of my life to my faith (if teaching Sunday school and singing in the church choir count), I had definitive ideas about how God guides us - but this was entirely different than just about anything I had experienced. It took my breath away.

Since that moment, I have journeyed through a number of life changes and challenges, as we all do. Often, that identity as an adventurer has felt elusive - and, at times, I have had to encourage myself with the promise that my time would come.

“When my divorce is final,” I would tell myself, or “when Maddie graduates,” or (the one to which we can all relate) “after the pandemic.” The truth is, you could just follow the “when” with some other obligation, relational dynamic, or real-world challenge like work, sickness, or responsibility.

As an older and wiser friend told me when I panicked that I was irresponsibly pregnant with child number one before my husband and I had properly prepared ourselves to be parents, “if you wait until everything is perfect, you’ll never have kids.”

In the past 24 months, I have been working with two groups of friends with great intentionality to better understand myself and myself in relation with others and the world around me. Through all of my reading, journaling, observing, and discussing, I have come to believe that each of us is born with the spirit of adventure that was spoken over me on that crisp fall day. A deep longing for connection, adventure, and acceptance - this is what separates us as human beings. We often confuse ourselves with the belief that we need to understand, we need to achieve, we need to provide, and we need to prove that we can not only do it - we can do it alone. I know I did. We seek to fill the hole that we have poorly defined with things, with knowledge, and with trophies of every kind. And then one day we realize, hopefully before it is too late, that the hole is still there - no matter how much we strive. This is by no means an earth-shattering or new philosophy, friends. I know that. But, it is real-talk for this mid-lifer, and I am grateful for the awareness and shift in perspective that has allowed me to embrace life itself as an adventure… a messy, ever-changing, ever-surprising adventure. Moment-by-moment, I have found myself reassuring the that well-conditioned Amelia who wants to finish the next work project, support one of my kids or friends, and make sure my retirement account looks healthy. That doesn’t mean I have chucked responsible thinking and doing - it just means that I am starting to live with a little abandon before it is too late to do any living at all.

In this issue, you will read about Maddie Ford - an impressive New Albany High School senior who is living her life to the fullest, despite very real challenges. You will read about an alternative snowbird destination as we report on the luxury options in arid Arizona, about how you can engage with the reopening of the arts scene, and of course, you will have a chance to check out pictures from the society events that are starting to occur with more regularity.

As we wind down another year together, my hope for you is for the awareness of our collective need for connection, adventure, and acceptance - and that you are able to give and receive each of those gifts in a community filled with grace and love.

Be Well

Dancing Through Life Written by Jessica Metcalf

Winter can be a time to bundle up and slip into a lackadaisical lifestyle, in anticipation of sunnier days. Dance can be one way to ameliorate the winter weather blues by getting the body moving and dance. Many people know that dance produces positive endorphins, but few realize the full range of health benefits.

Dancing can improve a slumping posture acquired over years at a desk, and it can be a more enjoyable way to get the heart rate moving without stepping on the ubiquitous treadmill.

With physical benefits including increasing flexibility, improving mobility, and enhancing rhythm, even a brief lesson will leave the dancer feeling better than ever.

Partner or group dancing is a low-impact cardiovascular form of exercise and can be an excellent place to start, no matter the walk of life. According to an article from Harvard Mahoney Neuroscience Institute lecture series, dance is a “pleasure double play”: music stimulates the brain’s reward centers, while dance activates its sensory and motor circuits. Both produce health benefits to the dancer.

Ballroom dance can decrease blood pressure, help slow bone loss related to osteoporosis, lower the risks of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes, and promote increased lung capacity, according to Fred Astaire Dance Studios’ 4 Pillars of Health.

As an adult with over two decades of dance experience, I found it harder to utilize my dance skills in an environment similar to that of the studios in which I grew up dancing. I began taking some of the adult classes offered at BalletMet, which range from Introductory to Advanced Ballet, a casual, slow-paced Movement Exploration class, and Pilates. This has been an exceptional way to continue practicing dance technique through a highly-regarded organization and led to my search for social dance avenues in Columbus.

After over a year of intentionally keeping our distance from each other in order to remain healthy, I was starving for more social engagement than individual technique classes could provide. Social 12 slmag.net

dancing can bring powerful enhancements to mental and emotional health. Many have heard dancing is a self-expressive form of art, but it can also be an interconnection between partners or groups.

Right in the heart of Ohio, Lincoln Street Social hosts Salsa Nights every Saturday for amateurs and professionals to work on their salsa dancing. With no experience necessary, one can gather with friends or make new ones during the beginner/intermediate lesson right before the party begins.

Though an experienced dancer, I had never dipped my toes into the realm of ballroom dancing. The social aspect of partnering seemed to be a logical next step. There are many Central Ohio dance studios to choose from: Ballroom Avenue (Grandview), Emerald City Ballroom (Dublin), Crystal Ballroom (Worthington), and Danceville, U.S.A. (Victorian Village), to name a few. If ballet and ballroom are not the styles that get your feet tapping, the historic barn at Malabar Farm State Park (Lucas, northwest Columbus) offers square and line dancing. These country-style dances might be more familiar and a good place to start for the apprehensive dancer. Any of these social styles of dancing will provide the same abundant health benefits to the body and brain.

I chose to go to Dance Edge in Grandview and had two 45-minute lessons with Enoch Evans to prepare me for a Friday night ballroom party at the studio. Through learning smooth styles like Waltz, Foxtrot, and Tango, and an introduction to rhythm styles like Swing, Cha Cha, and Rumba, my crash course prepared me for an evening of, “May I have this dance?” and stepping into a beat of social dancing of which I was unfamiliar. I left that night feeling a sense of fulfillment that I believe many have been aching to find again in the past couple of years.

Whether it’s for health or happiness, dance can be the perfect addition to your health regimen by exploring these social connections in Columbus. sl

Passionate Pursuits

Stogies Aren’t For Fogeys Written by Amelia Jeffers

A few years ago, I discovered scotch. Not that I wasn’t aware of it previously, but I discovered that a good sip of well-aged scotch (neat!) was remarkably enjoyable - particularly when savored by a cozy fire...with smoked almonds...dark chocolate, and maybe some pajamas and snow outside, but I digress.

When the subject of cigars comes up, I imagine possibly cultivating an appreciation from a connoisseur perspective, though admittedly I have not yet tried. For now, the closest I have come is the fond remembrance of the scent of my dad’s occasional stogie or the sight of my neighbor on his riding lawn mower in shorts and visor, cigar between his teeth - a comical example of the stereotypical guy enjoying his smoke where he can…outside.

Cigars have made a major comeback in the past twenty years, after a period of economic boom created huge demand for luxury goods in the early nineties. Enthusiasts compare subtle notes of naturally-infused flavor and the artistry of hand rolled tobacco the way oenophiles discuss the impact of weather or oak on a specific vintage of wine. Popular social media influencers and magazines like Cigar Aficionado provide guidance for novices, as well as reviews of the latest releases from the highest rated-brands. Industry champion Aaron Sigmond (author of The Book of Cigars) has even developed a line of ready-to-wear clothing and home goods (think scented candles) called SIGARWEAR, featuring shirts with generous pockets to hold plenty of cigars.

14 slmag.net

Cuba is historically associated with the best cigars in the world, but you may be surprised to learn that 8 of the top 25 cigars in 2020 (as reviewed by the editors of Cigar Aficionado) hailed from Nicaragua - giving the Central American country a wide margin over the next-closest producer, the Dominican Republic. And the number one cigar on that list? From Nicaragua, the E.P. Carrillo Pledge Prequel sells for just $11 per stick - a far cry from the storied Royal Courtesan by cult-favorite, Gurkha Cigars that sells for a cool $1.36 million each. Filled with a rare Himalayan tobacco that is rolled carefully by artisans who have been blindfolded in order to reduce distractions, the coveted example is wrapped in gold leaf, sealed with a diamond-studded band, and infused with Remy Martin’s Black Pearl Louis XIII (just $224,000 per bottle).

Locally, cigar-lovers can shop or locker their favorite cigars at several upscale boutiques, including The Governor’s and Barclay Pipe and Cigar Lounges. With four locations in central Ohio, the small chain boasts large walk-in humidors and indoor and outdoor lounges. The Westerville location is actually a remodeled house, so you can get the relaxing experience of smoking at home, without the ramifications. Old-schoolers may be more familiar with House of Cigar. With years of services under their belt, the owners offer a premier selection of cigars and related paraphernalia at nearly a dozen Ohio locations. Some outlets offer a lockering service, as well. sl Author’s note: The health consequences of smoking any form of tobacco are well understood. Despite urban myths, cigars are not healthier than cigarettes and have been linked to cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus and larynx, as well as lung and heart disease.

DESERT PARADISE Escape to Luxury in the Sonoran Desert Written by Mira Temkin

Statuesque saguaros, lush golf courses, and magnificent mountains welcome you to more than 300 days of sunshine each year in the Valley of the Sun. From palatial accommodations to botanical spa treatments to a cultural wonderland, you’re destined to find a place to warm your heart and soothe your soul. If this sounds like an oasis from a Columbus winter, change direction this year and head southwest! Here are two properties for your consideration.

As a part of the Marriott Luxury Collection, the AAA Five Diamond Phoenician in Scottsdale truly distinguishes itself as Arizona’s premier luxury resort destination. I knew from the moment I drove up, I had arrived at someplace special. With more than 600 16 slmag.net

spectacular guestrooms and suites in this desert panorama, I felt pampered with opulent surroundings and impeccable service.

For something even more private, cozy up to the 60 Canyon Suites with exclusive amenities like the infinity pool and secluded cabanas. Your day starts with complimentary artisan breakfast and the entire experience feels like a peaceful retreat.

The Phoenician recently opened the Phoenician Athletic Club, a new two-story facility where you can play tennis, pickleball, work out, or up your skills in the game room. Like to hit the greens? Tee up for a premier golf experience at the 18-hole Phoenician Golf Club, showcasing the unique beauty of the Sonoran.

The Phoenician offers eight dining venues that feature sumptuous steaks, bold, American cuisine, and informal poolside options.

Chef Tandy Peterson uses the large, hearth oven as the focal point of his kitchen for hearty menu options.

The new, three-story Phoenician Spa offers a range of treatments, therapies, and salon services to chase away your winter doldrums. Natural botanicals blended with Native American traditions provide inspiration for unique healing treatments.

“The Phoenician Spa provides a nurturing, contemporary, and transformative experience personalized for each guest,” said Denise Seomin, Communications Director. “Many of our signature services incorporate elements indigenous to Arizona.

Visit the Drybar for a blowout/hair styling, nail salon; aromatherapy blending bar and the fitness center for personal training. (thephoenician.com) The Fairmont Princess Goes A Step Beyond | Situated on 65 acres in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, this AAA Five Diamond resort has earned a stellar reputation for uncompromising standards of excellence. With five distinctive restaurants, two Tournament Players Club golf courses, the Well & Being Spa, and five heated outdoor swimming pools, there’s no reason to leave. Last summer, the resort created a space adventure with “Outta This World” activities geared towards families, taking them to the moon and back.

Check out the Ironwood American Kitchen which serves all-day fare in a warm and inviting atmosphere overlooking the resort’s South Pool. The menu features a variety of hearty, woodfired specialties such as flatbread pizzas, sandwiches, and oven roasted nachos, as well as mixing bowl salads and chef Sean Mayhew’s famous Bechamel-drizzled potato chips. Take time to watch the exhibition kitchen and say hi to Mayhew and his team.

Sandoval’s philosophy embraces the idea of “Old Ways, New Hands,” sharing traditional classics in exciting new ways. Emphasis is on tableside preparation to delight your senses, starting with guacamole. Local favorites include grilled skirt steak served with cactus Pico, fajitas, and barbecue sea bass.

On Thursday, October 7, the King Arts Complex held their 14th annual Legends & Legacies Award Ceremony and Reception at the Lincoln Theatre. The 2021 event celebrated Ann and Ron Pizzuti, legendary contemporary art collectors who have shown a commitment to freedom through social justice, human rights, cultural democracy, artistic excellence, and service. With their 2018 donation of The Pizzuti Collection to the Columbus Museum of Art, they have created a legacy for decades to come. The Pizzutis are among the nation’s foremost collectors of Black art, with works by over 100 African, Afro-Cuban and African American artists. This year’s celebration raised over $200,000 to support the many arts education programs offered by The King Arts Complex. Guests enjoyed live music and a stunning ice sculpture of a Pizzuti building during the reception. Among the many guests in attendance were Joyce Beatty, Mayor Andrew Ginther, former Mayor Michael B. Coleman, Alex Shumate, Algenon L. Marbley, and The Ohio State University’s Athletic Director Gene Smith. For more information on King Arts Complex, visit kingartscomplex.com.

The Columbus Museum of Art’s annual Art Celebration took place on Thursday, September 23, with the theme Celebrating the Legacy of American Art. Some 200 guests gathered safely to honor long-time Museum patrons Teckie and Don Shackelford and their extraordinary generosity. The evening also included the launch of The Shackelford Family George Bellows Center at the Columbus Museum of Art (CMA), made possible with the Shackelford family’s leadership gift, including an endowment for the CMA curator of American art, who will serve as the director of the new Bellows Center. The event raised more than $500,000, providing important operating support to ensure the ongoing care and conservation of the Museum collection and continued presentation of world-class exhibitions and programs to share with a broad and diverse public.

Artist Sheppard Morose with the dye sublimation prints she created for the JCCA of Kansas City and Omaha.

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

An interview with artist Sheppard Morose who reflects on the multi-generational significance of creating and appreciating art.

Written by Bridget Williams Sheppard Morose strongly believes that art is much more than just pleasing to the eye. “Great art lasts lifetimes, and I'm challenged to create art that meets that standard,” she said. Read on to see how the St. Louis-based artist has created a unique niche creating bespoke pieces for clients in both the public and private sector.

SL: Tell us about your background.

SM: I came to fine art through the back door of an advertising and graphic design career. Not only was I was able to learn the fundamentals of design from the working professors at the University of Illinois and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, but I was also able to experience a glimpse of how the corporate world works.

My Mom was a fine art major, and my Dad is a civil engineer, so we always had plenty of art supplies and examples of beautiful, functional design all around us growing up. I remember conversations with my Mom in our garden where she described the colors and textures of the plants, sky, and landscape in fascinating detail. She was coaching me to have an "artist's eye" at a very young age and I'm grateful for that.

Modern masters like Alexander Calder, Ellsworth Kelly, Henri Matisse, Mies Van der Rohe, Pablo Picasso and Helen Frankenthaler help inform me of complex color combinations and composition.

40 slmag.net

Frankenthaler pioneered what came to be called "color field painting," a style of abstractionism emergent in New York City midway through the 20th century, and she's been a key influence.

SL: How would you define your style, and has it evolved over the years?

Do you have any unique methods that you employ when creating art?

SM: I think I'm known for my bright, bold abstract work that's showing up in corporate collections across the country and my nature-inspired original paintings for healthcare spaces and homes. It's usually the color that moves my audience. I often put contrasting colors right next to each other to pack an extra punch.

I use soothing muted colors for spas or hospitals, often green or "nature's neutral" that serve as a backdrop for healing. It's a privilege to participate in a profession that serves others.

My strength lies in working directly with CEOs, architects, and interior designers to help create interiors that uplift and engage.

Some of my installations stretch three stories high as my digital files can be enlarged and printed, keeping their crisp resolution.

I use two main processes to create my work. In the first, acrylic paint is applied layer after layer as tints or sold colors.

As the layers build, texture is often created. I use traditional paintbrushes and what I call "kinetic" paintbrushes, which are

Morose applied the Golden Ratio to create this series of dye sublimation prints.

large industrial mops that I've trimmed to unique shapes and move or swing as I use them. Palette knife paintings have been innovative solutions where there is excellent lighting and a need for texture.

The second method is dye sublimation printing. Once I create the image, typically on my Mac, there is a high heat transfer of powdered pigments that are permanently bonded with aluminum, then coated with a polymer that protects the art, so it wears like iron. This is perfect for public spaces as the color never fades, and the surface is protected.

SL: What does art, particularly a custom piece, contribute to a space?

SM: It brings individual expression. When April Jensen, a St. Louis designer, and her client needed art to serve a real function within her interior design concept, we created custom art pieces that made the client feel calm and peaceful in her home. Something many of us need in a busy world.

When the JCCA of Kansas City and Omaha remodeled and expanded their spaces, they envisioned Centers where people could be active and engaged, accented with natural light and colorful artwork. We used glossy, reflective dye sublimation prints to accomplish this goal.

SL: What does art mean to you?

SM: Art is powerful. Throughout history, it documents unforgettable events and the natural world. Species that are extinct live on through the botanical renderings from artists' past. Art is healing.

Scientific studies prove that natural images and colors will lower blood pressure, reduce stress and elevate mood. Research also shows that patients exposed to art during a hospital stay heal quicker and have a better overall experience. Art is an avenue for communication for those who use it as therapy. This process helps one to re-experience emotions and organize feelings around an overwhelming experience.

Art is a study of mathematics. I use the Golden Ratio; the ratio is 1 to 1.618, also called Phi, to determine proportions and break up space.

Artists and designers have been using this ratio since the beginning, and it occurs in nature repeatedly. (Photos of color block pieces.)

Art explores the latest technology. For example, NFTs or 'non-fungible tokens' are unique digital certificates stored on a blockchain and have certain ownership rights in an asset, typically a digital one.

What an exciting time in art history!

The challenge for designers today is to create surroundings at home and work to support individuals' communal, mental, and physical needs within the space. Art is often part of the solution. sl To learn more, visit sheppardmorose.com.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY SPIRITS FROM INDEPENDENT BOTTLERS Industry veteran Sam Filmus, creator of the ImpEx Collection, tells us why.

Compiled by Chloe Gellar / Images courtesy of ImpEx Collection

We asked Sam Filmus, President of ImpEx Beverages, to share what he sees as the evolution of the independent bottler movement and why luxury consumers should start adding independent bottles to their whisky collection. Filmus has his Whisky Certification from the University of the Highlands and Islands Moray College and is a designated Keeper of the Quaich, an exclusive and international society of individuals recognized for their commitment to the Scotch whisky industry.

cases) as single casks and (in most cases) at a higher ABV under their own label. We are fortunate enough to feature quite a few IBs in our portfolio at ImpEx Beverages—the importation company I run with ImpEx Beverages Vice President, Chris Uhde—such as Single Cask Nation, Single Malts of Scotland, Port Askaig, Adelphi, and now The ImpEx Collection. Chris and I launched the Collection in July after taking three years to hand-select and bottle what we believe to be some of the best spirits in the world.

SL: Let's start with the basics - what is a single cask whisky?

Filmus: A single cask whisky is one in which all the bottles have matured together. So, they stay in the same cask or can be transferred into another for finishing. Some distilleries will use these to create vattings of multiple single casks or to become part of their official bottlings/distillery releases.

SL: How do they compare to Original Distillery Bottlings?

Filmus: Since both are produced at the same distilleries, in many cases, they would both carry the signature style and profile of these distilleries. I think the main difference is that while the distillery is working towards being consistent with their original bottlings, there is a bit more flexibility in terms of single cask offerings, such as their wood treatment and desired outcome. The opportunity to find some really unique and special offerings that could have been lost in a vat is really the desired outcome when it comes to single cask expressions as this is a chance to see the casks shine in their true and natural form.

SL: What is a distillery release?

Filmus: This is (in most cases) a vatting of a large number of casks that distilleries are aiming to be part of their core offerings. Some examples could include Lagavulin 16 yr, Oban 14 yr, Laphroaig 10 yr, or Glenlivet 12 yr – among many others. Small batches can also apply to this, and there are single casks and limited release offerings that come out from time to time as well.

SL: What are Independent Bottlers?

Filmus: Independent bottlers (IBs) are companies that source casks from various distilleries or via brokers and bottle them (in most 42 slmag.net

SL: Why don't more consumers know about or purchase from IBs? Filmus: 90% of what is produced these days in Scotland are blends.

From the remaining 10%, you find the more well-known single malt contributors, and then from there, you find some major IBs who have been establishing their names for decades, if not centuries (like Cadenhead's and Gordon & MacPhail).

While people are used to seeing labels from these more wellknown brands (OBs), when they see a recognizable name and the label looks different, people automatically suspect that the quality would not be the same. Therefore, more and more people are now gravitating towards what they can expect to find from these lesserknown bottlings coming from IBs and appreciate now that they are both coming from the same distilleries.

SL: I noticed you don't only have whiskies in your collection, can any spirit be independently bottled?

Filmus: Yes, any spirit can be independently bottled, provided the distillery is open to it. We have included World Whisky and Rum in our Edition One bottlings. We are anticipating a Japanese whisky release with Edition Two along with a mezcal.

SL: How has the IB industry changed over the years?

Filmus: I think people are much more receptive to trying independent bottlings now than they were in the past. People have started to see this as an art form and are more willing to try something Independently Bottled than they were in the past.

SL: Where do you see it going?

Filmus: I see the category growing rapidly. When I started representing IBs over 15 years ago, there were only a few of them then, and it was a very tough sale as people didn't understand the concept. Now, we've seen many IBs showing up on the shelf, and the category has grown for all.

SL: Why did you enter the IB business?

Filmus: While consumers have appreciated the distillery releases we are carrying, there is something special and collectible about single cask expressions that are one-time releases.

SL: What gets you excited about this side of the industry?

Filmus: Maybe it's a little ambitious, but I would like to think that these single cask offerings bring a greater appreciation for the distilleries we bottle from, giving a new segment of customers the chance to enjoy these expressions in their truest form. A great example of this is Caol Ila; it is one of the largest portions of what goes into Johnny Walker and gives it the peatiness and smokiness that you find there. When people draw a comparison between the two, they find they grow a fondness for the mainstream release because of what they find unique about the Single Cask.

SL: Can you give our readers some tips for picking IBs? Filmus: I think that the beauty of IBs is that you can explore individual components of something that may be more familiar.

IBs give you the ability to explore the juice in a higher ABV and the truest form. I think you get a chance to really appreciate what you love about a specific expression. When you go with an IB, you can narrow down what is appealing to you as an individual.

We try to give as much information as possible on our labels distillation date, bottling date, number of bottles, cask type, etc. so that the consumer can decide what is most appealing to their senses and palate. sl

ELEVATED ISLAND TIME A resort-within-a-resort, Rosewood Baha Mar delivers all the amenities of a mega resort with an aura of exclusivity Written by Bridget Williams

Somewhere in the not-too-far distance, screams of delight are funneling down a colorful tube in a waterpark; cries of jubilation ring out in the casino; people are nodding their head to a pulsing beat at a pool. But here, during teatime in the Library Lounge at Rosewood Baha Mar, I am world's away and perfectly at ease while I savor a perfectly brewed cup of tea whose color mimics my sunkissed skin, still warm from the sun.

Opened in 2017 with 2,200 rooms spread across three hotels on 1,000 acres in New Providence in The Bahamas, Baha Mar is by definition a mega-resort. This designation that can elicit a notso-favorable response based on one's prior experience, this writer 44 slmag.net

included. However, after a recent visit, I was forced to rethink my innate aversion to large-scale developments.

There are three distinct brands on property: Grand Hyatt, SLS, and Rosewood, with the latter, at just 12 stories and 230 rooms and suites, perches above Cable Beach and the pecking order on the property.

The Rosewood Baha Mar's contemporized take on British Colonial-style begins as soon as you enter the foyer-like lobby, enveloped in a floor-to-ceiling hand-painted mural reminiscent of de Gournay wallpaper. In keeping with Rosewood's Hotels "A Sense of Place" philosophy, John Cox, Rosewood Baha Mar's Creative Art Director, collaborated with artists at SilverHill

The reception area at ESPA

Atelier to create Bahamian scenes evocative of another celebrated island artist, John Hussey. Intimate seating areas, plenty of coffee-table books, and creative accessorizing add to the upscale residential feel.

My favorite public space inside Rosewood Baha Mar is the Library Lounge, defined by muted colors, handsome furnishings, and tall ceilings accentuated by a pair of bookcases separated by another bespoke artwork resulting from SilverHill and Cox working in concert. We found ourselves here multiple times a day, selecting from an extensive selection of loose leaf teas, including unique Bahamian blends, while we relished the beauty of the surroundings.

Guest accommodations carry forth the casual elegance established in the lobby. Closets flanked the entry to the spa-like bathroom, sheathed in marble. Colors evocative of the island— coral and Caribbean blues—pop against a soothing sun washed backdrop. From our balcony, we noted that the pool areas' landscaping is so lush that you see enticing slivers of blue among an expanse of green. The elevated vantage point allows you to appreciate the sprawling nature of the property. Still, it doesn't feel that way as you wind your way through the lush setting at ground level, where the landscape's design reveals intimate seating areas, shops, and restaurants around every corner.

slmag.net 45

Chefs Daniel Boulud and David LePage

Baha Mar takes its food scene seriously, and it has recruited a galaxy of star power to lend credence to its 40 unique dining venues celebrating a variety of global cuisines. Sadly, there are way more dining options than we had days available to try them all.

At the pinnacle of the culinary program is Café Boulud The Bahamas. Located in the lower level of the Rosewood in a beautifully outfitted dining room bursting with Bahamian art, traditional French technique meets island hospitality (minus the island time). A production in the best way, our dinner was a true feast for the senses, and after we savored the last bite of our Tarte Au Citron and rose to leave, our server warmly embraced us like we were old friends. There's nothing that compares with genuine and kind human interaction, and the staff at Baha Mar seem to possess this innate ability to connect in spades.

Award-winning chef Danny Elmaleh conceptualized the menus at Cleo Mediterraneo, adjacent to the SLS Baha Mar's lobby. The focal point of the restaurant's relaxed interior is an organic sandstone wall with succulent plants and moss spilling from the crevices. We enjoyed a Mediterranean-inspired feast over a series of small plates.

Seeking shelter from a popup rain shower allowed us to discover Da' Poke Bowl Shack for lunch. Located in one of a series of cute beach "shacks" with other dining establishments in a pathway that links the Grand Hyatt to the beach, the umamipacked punch of flavor was just what we needed to forget the rainy day blues. Another lunch standout was Costa, a Mexican restaurant 46 slmag.net

with unique dining cabanas overlooking Rosewood's lush gardens.

El Jefe is another delicious Mexican option serving tacos from a beachfront Airstream trailer. If you time it right, you can nosh while watching the daily parade of flamingos and the hordes of guests accompanying them.

Enjoying fresh seafood close to the source is on the menu at Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House. Six-time James Beard Award-winning chef Marcus Samuelsson spent four years learning everything he could about Bahamian cuisine and island food culture to develop his spin on Caribbean comfort food.

While eating to your heart's content is undoubtedly an option, I'd highly recommend partaking in a host of onsite recreation amenities in between meals. Of course, water is the obvious star of the show when it comes to activities. There are more pools than I could count, including many adult-only options. In addition, guests of the Rosewood are privy to a private beach and exclusive fullservice pools. The kid in me loved the newly opened and crowd-free waterpark; my adult side appreciated its distance from the heart of the resort so that you didn't have to walk through it while traveling from one side of the resort to the other throughout the day.

Those who prefer greens over blue will appreciate the Royal Blue Golf Club, an 18-hole par-72 course designed by Jack Nicklaus. As my golf skills are subpar, but I'm still competitive, I thoroughly enjoyed a round at Mini Blue, a professional puttinginspired 18-hold miniature golf course near the Racquet Club.

The working art studio within The Current

While you can treat yourself after a round at Rosewood Baha Mar's onsite spa, I'd highly recommend the short stroll to ESPA, which serves the entirety of the property with a 30k square-foot glitter fest of tranquility. An affirmation walk etched into the floor leading to the lounge reminds guests to "let it go." The complex also boasts a sprawling fitness facility.

Linking all three hotels is the Caribbean's largest casino, with 18 different types of table games and more than 1,000 slot machines. We didn't partake of the games, but we did enjoy the nightly live entertainment at Bar Noir, which offers a prime view of the action on the casino floor, lots of interesting cocktail options, and signature Petrossian caviar.

Of the many things unique to the property is the attention given to elevating Bahamian artists: ninety percent of the art displayed is Bahamian in origin. John Cox, a painter, sculptor, and former chief curator at the National Art Gallery in the Bahamas, oversees the 2,500 pieces in Baha Mar's collection and The Current (thecurrent.bahamar.com/), an onsite art gallery, working studio, and retail shop.

The Rhode Island School of Design alum cuts a striking figure that exudes the confidence of someone with the "it factor,"

but without any hit of pretentiousness. What is most captivating about Cox is his palpable passion for his craft and elevating the work of his contemporaries and predecessors. A powerful storyteller, Cox has a gift for switching up messaging on a dime so that whether he's speaking to an aficionado or a child, there's a meaningful context in his message. "Our goal is to see if we can inform what the Bahamian experience is through art so that it causes people to see and experience and shock them in a good way," Cox explained.

A significant portion of the collection is on display in the pre-function space in the onsite convention center as part of the Fairwind Exhibition, a showcase of Bahamian art from the early 1800s to the present. We'd arranged for a one-hour tour with Cox, and two hours later (and late for his next meeting), we continued to be enrapt by his enthusiasm and the immensity of the thought that has gone into the themed groupings, that encompass everything from coral reefs to colonialism. This subtle encouragement of more thoughtful tourism is just one example that Baha Mar is seeking to redefine the notion of a mega-resort. sl Rates at Rosewood Baha Mar from $695/night.

HOME IN THE RANGE Cozy up to the elegant 2022 Range Rover, which provides more refinement, customer choice, and personalization options than ever before.

Written by Andre James / Photography courtesy of Land Rover The fifth-generation luxury SUV, designed, developed, and engineered in the UK, presents a contemporary interpretation of Land Rover’s trademark profile. “The New Range Rover is a superb manifestation of our vision to create the world’s most desirable luxury vehicles for the most discerning of customers. It writes the next chapter in the unique story of pioneering innovation that has been a Range Rover hallmark for more than 50 years,” said Thierry Bolloré, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Rover.

In creating the 2022 Range Rover, Land Rover filed no fewer than 125 patents covering everything from its pioneering chassis technologies to its PHEV battery. No less than 140,000 hours of computational analysis took place before the rubber ever hit the road. During research and development, a fleet of disguised prototypes dispersed across the globe endured temperatures exceeding 100°F in arid deserts to -20°F in the icy Arctic.

While decidedly forward-facing, the SUV’s falling roofline, strong waistline, and rising sill line discernably trace their origins back through the generations. These trademark features 52 slmag.net

combine with a characteristically short front overhang and a distinctive new boat-tail rear. Underpinning every aspect of the SUV, available in SE and Autobiography models at launch, is a brand-new flexible Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLAFlex), virtually eliminating unwanted noises and vibrations.

The New Range Rover is the first Land Rover vehicle to feature optional Power-Assisted Doors – available at 2023 model year – with integrated hazard detection and anti-pinch features.

The practical two-piece split tailgate that has been a Range Rover hallmark since 1970 is updated for 2022, with a series of new technologies providing greater versatility and convenience.

Further enhancing the ride are Dynamic Response Pro and pre-emptive suspension that use eHorizon Navigation data to read the road ahead and prime the suspension to provide appropriate responses. Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist can smooth out body movements resulting from sudden speed changes. Land Rover’s first-ever five-link rear axle isolates the cabin from surface imperfections using advanced air springs.

Land Rover’s award-winning Terrain Response 2 system harnesses the various chassis systems to automatically provide the perfect settings and minimize driver workload across multiple terrains. Alternatively, the driver can manually select the most appropriate setting or use Configurable Terrain Response to create a bespoke chassis set-up. In addition, every New Range Rover features All-Wheel Steering for heightened stability at higher speeds and improved maneuverability at low speeds.

At present, buyers can choose either a turbocharged 3.0liter inline-six that delivers 395-horsepower or a thundering 523-horsepower twin-turbo V-8 engine. Spearheading the Land Rover brand’s Reimagine strategy, a new extended-range plug-in hybrid (PHEV) joins the family in 2023. It combines the inherent refinement of Land Rover’s inline six-cylinder Ingenium engine with a 38.2kWh lithium-ion battery. Together, the powertrain provides a projected range of 62 miles of near-silent pure-electric driving. The 105kW electric motor can reach up to 87mph without using the gasoline engine, allowing customers

to enjoy pure-electric driving for most journeys. The battery is located beneath the vehicle and within the wheelbase, ensuring that luggage space and all-terrain capability are uncompromised.

A host of sustainable, progressive, and responsible options are available to outfit the cabin, giving customers a broad range of personalization options to create an optimal ride for everyone from the driver to those in the new optional third-row seats.

Optional Versatile Loadspace Floor protects luggage and boasts a clever floor panel that can be raised forward across the width of the load area around its mid-point to form a partition to contain smaller items and keep them within easy reach when unloading. It can also pivot backward along its leading edge to serve as a backrest when using the lower tailgate as outdoor seating. In addition, the optional Tailgate Event Suite takes the Versatile Loadspace Floor backrest concept to new heights by combining additional lighting, audio features, and tailored leather cushions to create the perfect vantage point for outdoor recreation and relaxation.

Working in tandem with the MLA-Flex system, the Meridian Signature Sound System monitors wheel vibrations, tire noise, and engine sounds in the cabin and generates a canceling signal played through the system’s 35 speakers. Creating personal quiet zones are pairs of 60mm diameter speakers in the headrests for each of the four main cabin occupants.

The central display offers haptic feedback when customers touch and press the screen, eliminating the need for visual confirmation. Pivi Pro works in harmony with a new semi-floating 13.7-inch Interactive Driver Display featuring high-definition graphics based around a threepanel customizable layout. Not to be left out of their screen time, rear passengers can enjoy an optional Rear Seat Entertainment System, which provides adjustable 11.4-inch HD touchscreens mounted on the rear of the front seatbacks.

Representing the pinnacle of personalization, the hand-crafted Range Rover SV will be the first to carry the new ceramic SV roundel and simplified naming strategy – known simply as SV. Available in

model year 2023, the SV roundel will identify all-new Land Rover vehicles launched by Special Vehicle Operations in the future.

LEANING IN

Grand Residences Riviera Cancun emerges from the pandemic as the flagship resort for Wyndham's Registry Collection Hotels.

Written by Bridget Williams / Photography by Shelby Bourne Technology is both a bane and boon when traveling with children. While I can fully appreciate its usefulness during long flights or car rides, I am dismayed when I see both children and adults mindlessly scrolling rather than being present in the moment while vacationing. So it was a striking absence of screen fixation that struck me while strolling the grounds at Grand Residences Riviera Cancun.

With the resort ideally positioned to face the east, sleepy-eyed guests filed onto their balcony or the beachfront each morning for a front-row seat to the sunrise. By mid-morning, children lined up outside the activity center. Anticipating the arrival of their favorite staff members, they bounced with the same enthusiasm as though Santa and his elves were on their way. Staff reciprocates this eagerness in spades, as I discovered while watching an energetic instructor leading a morning poolside Zumba class. Although only one guest opted in, the instructor was strutting his stuff with the energy of opening night on Broadway. Overall, there's an aura of relaxed energy; by afternoon, many of the youngsters I spied in the morning were napping under the shade of a poolside cabana, worn out from a full day of fun.

58 slmag.net

Thoughtful service begins upon arrival as all guests receive complimentary private transportation to the resort from the airport in Cancun. During the 30-minute trip, our driver asked what we'd like for a welcome drink—it was a spicy margarita for me!

The 144 all-suite Grand Residences Riviera Cancun, a flagship resort for Wyndham's Registry Collection Hotels, is located at the terminus of a long stretch of roadway lined with resorts near the sleepy fishing area village of Puerto Morelos. With accommodations ranging in size from a 635 square-foot junior suite up to an 8,762 square-foot penthouse presidential suite, the resort is an ideal destination for family and group travel.

At nearly 1,800-square-feet, our well-appointed onebedroom oceanfront room boasted a fully equipped kitchen and large dining area. Walking past his and her closets and into the full bath, I was quick to note the Bulgari toiletries and an indoor soaking tub located under a gilded dome ceiling that could have doubled as a kiddie pool. A furnished balcony with a jacuzzi runs the suite's length and is accessible from the bedroom or living area. Suites located on the ground floor are notable for their private plunge pools.

slmag.net 59

Most guests choose to spend their days around the heart of the resort: a blue-tiled heated pool that terraces down to the beach and offers a designated adults-only pool with a swim-up bar. Attentive and personalized beach service is available at the pool and beach with welcomed amenities like cooling Evian mist, tropical fruit skewers, and fruitsicles. Based on the warm interactions between staff and guests, it was clear that there were many repeat customers among us. A designated lap pool located near the activity center also serves as an ideal spot for serene sunbathing.

Knowing that the entirety of our short stay would be devoid of far-flung excursions, we opted for the All-In Grand Experience Plan, which included all meals and premium drinks.

Unlike some all-inclusive properties where there are separate meals for room-only and all-in guests, at Grand Residences, there is no differentiation. You can even order prime cuts of beef from the room service menu to prepare in your suite, although we preferred to leave that up to the on-site kitchen experts.

Arriving at lunchtime, we headed straight for Heaven Beach Bar and enjoyed a toes-in-the-sand al fresco lunch with superb shrimp tacos and the first, of what would be many, orders of 60 slmag.net

guacamole. The resort's two main dining options, El Faro Grill and Flor de Canela, are located at the apex of the pool area. The former serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with both buffet and a la carte options and weekly themed menus that highlight global cuisines. I particularly enjoyed the regional Mexican favorites on offer as part of the breakfast buffet, which allowed me to indulge in plenty of spicy heat to jumpstart my day.

Adorned with locally made art, Flor de Canela is a celebration of authentic Mexican food from all regions of the country. Seafood plays a starring role on the menu, though for me, it was the pomegranate-spiked guac and a serenade by local musicians that highlighted my dinner here.

Those looking to indulge in the spaciousness of their suite can opt for a complete menu of in-suite dining options. An ingenious network of tunnels under the property allows an army of culinary and maintenance staff to go about their business nearly undetected and out of the heat and humidity.

Afternoon tea is served three times a week on a covered terrace near the lobby in a building that overlooks the entirety of the property, including a verdant mangrove forest that serves as

a visual buffer between the surrounding structures. Popular for grabbing a morning coffee to go or wrapping up the day with a nightcap, the Lobby Café and Bar is notable for its handsome antique bar imported from England. An on-site Natural Foods Gourmet Market offers a fairly diverse array of prepackaged and fresh food, sundries, and souvenirs.

While it was clear that most guests were content with downtime spent poolside or beachfront, there are many activities on and offsite to satiate those looking to be less languid.

Snorkeling, ocean kayaking, tennis, beach volleyball, salsa lessons, cooking demonstrations, tequila tastings, and yoga are just a few of the offerings. Our only time off property was a short group bike ride into Puerto Morelos, reportedly the inspiration for Jimmy Buffett's iconic "Margaritaville." We enjoyed wandering around this laid-back village, visiting local shops, and snapping photos of its famous leaning lighthouse. For those who want to venture out further, the concierge can help arrange a multitude of adventurous excursions throughout the Riviera Maya.

A small-but-capable spa and salon offers a host of indulgent and restorative body and face treatments. At the same time, the

fitness center with available personal trainers is amply-equipped to satiate the needs of workout fiends.

Children can partake of an adult-supervised kids' club with activities from mask-making to sandcastle building taking place in a whimsically decorated "clubhouse" and throughout the resort. Just outside the entrance to the kids club is a pottery painting station, where guests can select a piece to paint and have it fired before their departure for a truly unique memento.

At any given moment, it was a common occurrence to see more adults than children intently focused on creating a masterpiece.

The leaning lighthouse has come to serve as a local symbol of resilience. The ability to adapt in the face of adversity also applies to the resort, which has persevered after a nearly fourmonth closure at the height of the pandemic in 2020 to see its average stay creep up from three to seven nights. It's no doubt a testament to their stalwart commitment to creating unique and elevated experiences for every guest.

LONG LIVE THE ARTS A Guide to the First Quarter of 2022 Written by Amelia Jeffers / Compiled by Jessica Metcalf

Few industries have been hit by the Covid pandemic more than the arts. From the complete shutdown of live performances and fundraising events for more than a year, to a cautious return to in-person activities, budgets have been decimated and organizations and private ventures have relied on a combination of government relief (when available) and the generous support of the community. Yet the strong foundation of the Columbus arts scene has tenaciously supported its own - with an incredible lineup of exhibitions and performances on tap for the new year, despite the unprecedented challenges of the past 24 months. Read on for a glimpse into upcoming opportunities to appreciate and support our vibrant arts community.

One of the nation’s top professional companies, BalletMet, welcomed a return to an enduring central Ohio holiday tradition with live performances of The Nutcracker at the Ohio Theatre in December. In mid-February, the Davidson Theatre at the Riffe will host the timeless ballet, Giselle, choreographed by Artistic Director Edwaard Liang. Rounding out the first half of 2022 are Cinderella, the classic ballet, and Director’s Choice, a series of short ballets choreographed by the top names in ballet will offer a terrific opportunity for ballet enthusiasts as well as neophytes.

The Columbus Symphony is offering a robust schedule, welcoming back the annual Russian Winter Festival, a program that celebrates the great Russian composers. Conducted by Music Director Rossen Milanov, the first half of the festival is scheduled for January 7 and 8 and will include Ravel’s orchestration of Mussorgsky’s piano suite, Pictures at an Exhibition, and Stravinsky’s acclaimed ballet and orchestral concert work, The Rite of Spring. The second half runs January 21-23 and highlights Tchaikovsky’s Orchestral Suite No. 3 and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3, featuring American-Israeli pianist Inon Barnatan.

Don’t be discouraged if your favorite show sells out, there are also tickets available for dress rehearsals for Columbus Symphony shows. In February, fans of the Symphony have the choice of Puccini’s La Bohème, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue (with an exciting program curated by guest conductor and pianist, William Eddins), and Pablo Plays Dvořák featuring Pablo Ferrández, prizewinner of the Tchaikovsky Competition on cello. In March, experience a multi-media event featuring the Columbus Symphony Chorus accompanied by projections of the famous illustrations of Dante’s The Divine Comedy by French artist Gustave Doré for the seldom-heard Liszt's Dante Symphony. Guest conductor Carolyn Kuan and pianist Vijay Nekatesh close out the first quarter of the new year with Schubert's Symphony No. 9, "The Great".

Its Getting Crowded,

by Ashley Pierce, current exhibition on view at Lindsey Gallery

The current Opera Columbus season began in December with a nod to the first opera presented by the Columbus company in 1981: Tosca, a three-act opera sung in Italian with English surtitles, directed by Eve Summer and conducted by Tiffany Chang with new, original costumes by Neil Fortin, and an original set constructed by Opera Omaha and Boston Lyric Opera. As part of Opera Columbus’ commitment to support emerging works and talent, Fellow Travelers will run from February 25-27, conducted

by Kelly Kuo, a youthful opera professional who has been praised as “a leader of exceptional musical gifts, who has a clear technique on the podium and an impressive rapport with audiences.” The opera centers around the love affair of two men during the McCarthy era of the 1950s and the “lavender scare,” a witch hunt and mass firings of gay people from the United States government.

Looking ahead, mark your calendar for the June production of La Traviata, performed in partnership with Out of the Box Opera at a Downtown Columbus hotel.

We catch Broadway in Columbus mid-season with four productions remaining in the season and two add-ons for season ticket-holders. CATS, the record-breaking musical spectacular by Andrew Lloyd Webber, will be performed at the Ohio Theatre from January 11-16. On February 8-13, Come From Away, a musical written by Tony nominees Irene Sankoff and David Hein, and helmed by this year’s Tony-winning Best Director, Christopher Ashley, is based on a true story of 7,000 stranded airline passengers from the tragic 9/11 event and the small town in Newfoundland which welcomed them in. In mid-March, BEAUTIFUL: The Carole King Musical, the inspiring true story of King’s remarkable rise to stardom, is a two-time Tony Award winning musical and Grammy Award winner for Best Musical Theater Album and an optional add-on for Broadway in Columbus season passes.The last feature in the Broadway in Columbus lineup this spring is Pretty Woman: The Musical, with direction and choreography by two-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell from March 29-April 3.

Gallery interior view of the current exhibition, Small and Wonderful, at Hammond Harkins in the Short North

Columbus has no shortage of music venues that attract local and national talent. Whether you prefer the smallest of spaces like Natalie’s, larger concert halls like the Bluestone on Broad, or the company of thousands in settings like Nationwide Arena, options for live music abound this winter and spring. A quick office poll indicates that the SLC team is looking forward to the Elvis Birthday Celebration at Natalie’s in Grandview, the Jazz Art Group and the Pharez Whitted Quartet at Lincoln Theatre, The Punch Brothers contemporary bluegrass quintet in concert at the Southern Theatre, and Keith Urban in concert at Nationwide Arena.

Visual arts lovers shouldn’t miss the expertly-curated Through Vincent’s Eyes: Van Gogh and His Sources exhibit at the Columbus Museum of Art. The assemblage of more than 140 works of art by the artists who influenced Van Gogh affords museumgoers rare insight into what spurred the Dutch artist’s own visionary work and includes a number of exceptional pieces by the master himself. The Columbus exhibition, with significant works by Van Gogh’s acclaimed 19th-century contemporaries including Paul Gauguin, Honoré Daumier, Edgar Degas, Utagawa Hiroshige, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, is on display through February 6, 2022, and is co-curated by Steven Naifeh, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Van Gogh specialist, and David Stark, CMA’s chief curator emeritus. Naifeh loaned 61 72 slmag.net

works from the personal collection he shared with his co-author and late husband Gregory White Smith (together they wrote the 2011 best-selling biography “Van Gogh: The Life”).

The King Arts Complex can be counted on for a variety of diverse art programs. On January 13, the Elijah Pierce Gallery will re-open after an extended Covid-closure with works by Nat Orr, a self-taught artist who focuses on the beauty of women through explosions of color and intricate details.

From the private gallery scene, industry experts have assembled an array of choice offerings. Rebecca Ibel and her team are featuring the work of Ohio-born New Yorker, Kurt Lightner, whose works have been included in exhibitions at PS1 MOMA, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, and Queens Museum.

Even as he prepares for the 30th anniversary of the Outsider Art Fair at New York’s Metropolitan Pavilion, Duff Lindsay is offering a selection of complex, dramatic works by Columbus artist Ashley Pierce at his eponymous Short North gallery. Veteran leader of the gallery scene, Hammond Harkins hosts Small and Wonderful 2020, through January 17, featuring dozens of art from popular names like Denny Griffith, Aminah Robinson, and Paul Hamilton (catalog available online). sl For more ideas about what to do in the arts, or to search by interest, date, or type of art event, visit and bookmark the Greater Columbus Arts Council website, columbusmakesart.com for the most up-to-date information about what’s happening in the arts across the city.

10 Things Maddie Ford Can't Live Without Written by Amelia Jeffers

I met Maddie Ford after school one day for a quick interview because that is when she could fit me in. The New Albany High School senior maintains an incredibly busy schedule. On Friday nights this fall, she could be found on the sidelines of every football game where she is a member of the varsity cheer squad. On the day of our meeting, she had just learned that she had been selected to be a varsity basketball cheerleader (she was thrilled, though her mom may have groaned slightly at the grueling schedule that would entail). She is a part of a competition dance group, an accomplished swimmer and Athlete Ambassador for Special Olympics, and she holds down two summer jobs: one for a food pantry in Westerville and another with the Eagle Summer Camp in her school district. When she graduates this spring, Maddie and her parents will have visited several college programs, one of which they are hoping could be a good fit.

Maddie is a typical high school kid, with one major exception: she was born with Down Syndrome. Her mom, Casie, described for me how specialists from the Childhood League Center (a Columbusbased non-profit that delivers early childhood intervention and therapeutic programs for children with disabilities) visited her home weekly during Maddie’s infancy. By providing resources, tools, and information to Casie and her husband, Nick, the Childhood League Center gave the Fords hope that their daughter could have a bright and full life ahead of her.

The Fords tenaciously worked to not only foster an environment that would allow Maddie to approach her life just like every other kid, but they have availed themselves of every resource that would help Maddie to become a young woman who is an active participant in her community, who chases her passions, and who is not limited or defined by a diagnosis.

Two of the most significant organizations that have impacted Maddie and other kids like her are the Childhood League Center 84 slmag.net

and Special Olympics Ohio - the two groups that will benefit from the annual concert fundraiser known as Christine’s Christmas.

Begun as a tribute to Christine Wilson, a Dublin resident and Ohio State student who lost her life in a tragic fire in 2003.

Christine’s Christmas has raised more than $1M for central Ohio children’s charities, including more than $500,000 for the Christine Wilson Burn Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

The acclaimed concert is not the only way to support this grassroots organization. To donate to Christine’s Christmas, learn more about the organizations they support, or to stay informed about their annual event, visit christineschristmas.org.

1. Dancing: I have been dancing since I was 5 years old at Broadway Bound Dance Center. This year I made the competition team for the first time.

2. Singing: I have been in my church choir since I was little, and now I sing in the school choir.

3. Performing: I have performed in Annie, Frozen, Legally Blonde, and Smokey Joe’s. I love being on stage and meeting new people.

4. Ariana Grande: She sings all of my favorite songs, and she was the first concert I ever went to!

5. Mac and Cheese: I eat mac and cheese whenever I can. My favorite is from Panera.

6. Cropped Shirts: I try to wear them on a daily basis, but my mom doesn’t always let me.

7. Chocolate: My favorite chocolate dessert is the Texas Sheet Cake from Hudson 29.

8. TikTok: I love doing TikTok dances and post videos every day!

9. Family: I love my family so much. We go on trips, bike, go to dinner, and play games. We call each other The Fun Bunch.

10. Friends: I love my friends at school, cheer, and dance. I hang out with them at Starbucks. sl
