Fourth has to be more leg room in the auditorium! I mean, it’s a state-of-the-art auditorium where we can show films and give lectures, and we have new nifty audio equipment, but the best part of it is being comfortable. If you’ve ever been to one of our lectures you know that after about 20 minutes in the old seats, you’d sell your soul to get out. The seats were awful. Comfortable new seating and state-of-theart technology will improve the lecture experience, as well as give patrons the opportunity to enjoy cutting-edge artistic films in the auditorium.

project for which the museum has raised more than $50 million. While the economy has been, and will likely continue to be, a major issue, the opening of the “new” 1931 building is a cause for celebration. There’s something notable around every corner. I sat down with Executive Director Nannette Maciejunes who described her five favorite features of the renovation:

CG: And last? NM: My absolutely favorite thing is taking a jewel of a building that is beloved by this community and making it better.

We’ve taken everything, Derby Court, the auditorium and the galleries, updated it all and just made it better. And my personal favorite has to be the painted vaulted ceilings that run along the hallways between the galleries. Like archaeologists, the builders peeled back the paint during the construction process to find a previously painted ceiling – but only bits and pieces of it. The new trompe l’oeil ceiling is homage to the museum’s ornate past and a welcoming sign for generations to come. cs Cindy Gaillard is the Executive Producer of WOSU Public Media’s Emmy Award winning ArtZine – find new episodes on Facebook.

“we know that looking at great art inspires us to want to make art”

Nannette Maciejunes: One of my favorite things is the renovation of Derby Court, by far. The floor is higher so you can walk through to all the galleries without having to step down, and the ceiling is transformed with more glass. Derby Court was originally an exterior court. It was an outside space from 1931 to 1953, so I love the new glass canopy because it reminds me of its elegant past. It’s really the heart of the building. Second, I love the repurposing of the ground floor of the building for the Center for Creativity. It’s a hands-on space for all ages where you can make art of your own – because we know that looking at great art inspires us to want to make art, and we’ve finally been able to give that experience to our guests. Cindy Gaillard: So it’s a great place for families? NM: Absolutely… to experience art not only as an individual but as a group, a community. That’s exciting. NM: Third favorite has to be the accessibility. We’ve transformed the building so that guests can walk straight in and view the galleries without the need for stairs. Plus, there’s a brand new family restroom so that moms and dads can keep tabs on the little ones. 8

t’s the first day of the semester and I have been designated by my faculty to teach a new course that has passed the academic scrutiny of my peers. Welcome to Couch Potato 101, a three-credit course examining the characteristics unique to those who spend countless hours on the couch in front of the television. Engaging in this pastime involves a detailed understanding of three major concepts. First, the couch potato must remain physically fit, since pressing the keys on the remote requires strength and agility to move quickly when changing channels, endurance to maintain a reclined position for extended periods of time and the aerobic capacity for rapid breathing when viewing a suspenseful program. The second characteristic we study in this course is the couch potato’s diet. Consuming greasy chips, chocolate chip cookies and soft drinks is integral to the couch potato lifestyle. Third, the stimulating effects of television programs on one’s mental state will be analyzed. If you think I have gone off the deep end, consider that a lack of physical activity, poor diet and an absence of mental stimulation do have an impact on one’s mental capabilities. Studies show that habits like these can cause the onset or early development of dementia.

vegetables, nuts, grains, olive oil and grilled or steamed chicken and seafood (as opposed to red meat). The Mediterranean diet contains nutrients high in vitamin C and antioxidants, substances that reduce the risk of developing heart disease and cancer and inhibit the production of free radicals. Free radicals kill living cells, including those residing in the brain. But let’s not stop there. The Mediterranean diet is also thought to delay the onset of dementia and promote good mental health. In general, the skin color of fruits and vegetables can guide you in determining the degree of antioxidant levels. The darker the skin, the greater the amount of antioxidants. Consume vegetables such as kale, spinach, brussel sprouts, beets, red bell peppers and eggplant. Consuming vegetables that contain beta carotene (carrots and sweet potatoes are examples) also promotes brain health. Among the fruits containing high antioxidant levels are blueberries, blackberries, pomegranates, Food for Thought plums, oranges, red grapes and cherries.

brain function. Now that you know which foods to eat, think about the couch potato diet as a guide for what not to eat. Foods high in fat, cholesterol and sugar clog the arteries and thus harm the blood vessels in the brain. Fit Body = Fit Mind Numerous studies show that people who engage in physical activity reduce their risk of developing dementia. According to a study in The British Medical Journal, keeping fit can reduce the risk of developing dementia by 50 percent. When people exercise, especially aerobically, the blood supply to the brain increases. That results in improved brain function. Other studies have shown that aerobic activity improves the functioning of different brain structures. In a 2010 study published www.cityscenecolumbus.com

Health in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, walking at one’s own pace three days per week for 40 minutes improved the connection of brain circuitry that combated the decline of brain function associated with aging and reduced cognitive abilities. Brain Drain Of course you have heard of the expression “use it or lose it.� This term also rings true when it comes to healthy brain function. Just as aerobic physical activity is integral to heart health, mental stimulation plays a significant role in brain health. Some studies indicate that people who engage in activities such as reading books, doing crossword puzzles and other intellectually-stimulating activities maintain a healthier mind and reduce their risk of developing dementia. Mental stimulation helps to keep people alert and engaged. On the other hand, activities that do not require thinking (our couch potato) results in an increased risk of developing dementia. Rather than spending time watching TV, socialize with others. Research shows us that people who spend time around friends and family are more mentally alert than those who choose to be alone. Remember, when you plan a strategy for promoting your health, think brain. It too needs to be stimulated. cs

Follow the Fish Tracing seafood to the source By Jon Theiss

I

t’s a common misconception that fresh seafood is only available on the coasts. In Columbus, thanks in part to Port Columbus International Airport, and our proximity to Boston, Mass., getting your hands on a fresh fillet is easy as shooting fish in a barrel. Getting it to Columbus “Whether you’re in Columbus or Cleveland, or if it’s a species from the East Coast or from Europe, those products get here via Boston,” says Gary Noe, president of GN Seafoods here in Columbus. Noe, who has been in the fresh seafood business for 30 years, serves fresh fish retailers The Fish Guys at the North Market and Weilands in Clintonville. He also provides

fish to restaurants such as Spagio, The Refectory, Polaris Grill and the new Fisherman’s Wharf at Polaris. Michael’s Meats serves a range of restaurants as well, such as Columbus Fish Market and Bel-Lago Waterfront Bistro. Starting each morning, Noe receives a list of that day’s available catch from a roster of about 15 suppliers. Then, he contacts his clients who decide what they’d like to purchase. “Let’s say we’re dealing with swordfish or something caught in the Atlantic,” Noe says. “If it’s caught that morning, it’ll arrive in Boston within a few hours. From there, it will be put on a truck, sent to Columbus and make it to market the same time it goes to market in Boston.” In essence, that fish will

hit Boston around the same time it hits Columbus’ plates, within 24-36 hours of being caught, he says. If it’s a West Coast product, like Halibut from Alaska, it’s channeled through Seattle, then to Boston, subsequently following the same route to central Ohio. Typically, fish from the West Coast don’t sit around long before they’re shipped out, either. Alaskan wild salmon from the Copper River arrives on Columbus Fish Market’s tables via Michael’s Meats 24-36 hours after it’s caught. “A lot of times, people ask to come see my warehouse. I ask them, ‘Why would I warehouse it? I don’t want you to pay me to age your fish for you,’ ” Noe explains. 12 cityscene • January/February 11

Robert Bedenkop, owner and founder of Federal Shell and Fish in Boston echoes the same sentiments. “It’s just eating up the shelf life if you warehouse it. It’s caught, then radioed in en route. Sometimes they’ll even text or IM (instant message) you to let you know what’s on board. The lines of communication are constantly open.” In this model, retailers don’t place orders that travel up the pipeline to a fishery. The fishery makes a catch, then makes contact with Noe, Bedenkop or Michael’s Meats, who then relay the availability to retailers or restaurants. Once the product is sold, no more is available. Shellfish is sold much like finfish, “hunted” and distributed in the same way. If one retailer calls dibs, the others are out of luck. “We’re blessed by the fact that we draw from all coasts. If it’s caught in Florida, it’s caught one day and sent via same-day air freight most commonly. It’s on ground the next day. We have the same product that would be in Miami or Los Angeles, but we have the variety of each of the coasts.” Get Fresh In years past, the shelf life of fish was drastically shorter than it is today, due to the way fish was stored and caught. “People tend to think if you buy a fresh fish you’ll need to go home and eat it that night,” Noe says. “That was 10 years ago. Now, since your fish is getting to you within a day or two of being caught, you have a much longer shelf life.” Rather than fishing waters for 10-20,000 pound slugs that are later preprocessed to sit in a warehouse, fisherman are catching fewer fish, mostly due to governmental www.cityscenecolumbus.com

According to 30-year veteran of the business and seafood “a-fish-ionado” Gary Noe of GN Seafoods, the following are the top five types of seafood that central Ohioans regularly consume. These are typically available at The Fish Guys at the North Market and Weilands in Clintonville. They’re also served to patrons at Spagio, The Refectory, Polaris Grill and The Fisherman’s Wharf. Salmon from Canada, primarily fished from the Bay of Fundy off the coast of Nova Scotia, is on numerous restaurant menus. Award-winning Scottish Loch Duart (sustainably farmed and endorsed by Greenpeace) is a very popular retail fish. Blue Tilapia, a very mild sweet fish, is caught off of the coast of Peru. Our Sea Scallops grow on the ocean floor of the North Atlantic Coast, in and around the islands of Maine. Canadian scallops, also very popular, hail from the waters of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Tuna can come from anywhere in the world on any given day. In Columbus, varieties typically are fished off the coasts of Canada, or from U.S. waters off of Louisiana, Florida, Massachusetts, Costa Rica or in the Pacific. Columbus’ Cod is caught most often off of the coast of Gloucester, Mass., or in Icelandic waters.

regulations and common-sense fishing practices, Bedenkop says. “It’s a common-sense approach to a limited resource,” Bedenkop tells. “Governmental regulations are part of that, but fishermen just aren’t catching fish like they once did.” That common-sense approach isn’t the only thing driving the seafood market. Improved technology and means of communication, including cellular phones, the Internet and better fishing technology (underwater fish-finding devices, etc.) are getting fish to the table faster. What’s more, the demand is growing as nutritionists and doctors laud the health benefits of eating seafood on a regular basis. Furthermore, a picky populace, well-educated in the

ways of seafood, is also demanding fresher, healthier fish. All of those factors have drastically changed the seafood market in the last 10 years, says Noe. Scarcity of sourcing has also led to an awareness about the product and pushed the frequency of delivery. Catching fewer fish means delivering it sooner and storing it for shorter periods of time. In Columbus, The Fish Guys and Weiland’s carry a salmon that’s endorsed by Greenpeace, farm-raised and Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified. That means the fish is farmed in a healthy, sustainable way as to not cause the fish’s numbers to dwindle to endangered level. After all is said and done, “The difference in the industry in the last 10 years is day and night,” Noe says. cs

Follow the Fish Finfish and shellfish may come from a variety of different locations (wild or farmed) but if you’re consuming these fish in Columbus, they’re most likely coming from the following sources:

Razor Clams

Hailing from Rowley Mass., razor clams, long thin mollusks resembling a straight razor, are becoming hugely popular on high-end restaurant menus. In Rowley, large areas of undeveloped land where clams grow are classified as protected natural areas. This designation means that only residents of Rowley may enter the area to extract the clams. Once a resident digs up a mass of clams, they’re collected into “bushels” (much like produce) and sold to a consolidator. That consolidator will then load them onto a truck and ship them to Boston. After they hit Boston, they’ll be distributed, most often via ground transport, to various wholesalers or boutique retailers.

Black Sea Bass

The waters off of Chatham, Cape Cod or Westport, R.I. are the source of much of Columbus’ Black Sea Bass, a popular “white tablecloth restaurant” fish. Due to the nationwide trend where restaurants allow diners to choose their own fish that’s still swimming in a tank, the fish are pulled from fish traps, known as “pots,” and put into holding tanks on the fisherman’s ship. From there, they’ll be transported to Boston where they’ll be graded, separated into live specimens (at a premium) or bled, packed in ice and sold in other markets. The fish hit Boston 12-14 hours after they’ve been caught. They arrive in Columbus within 24-48 hours after leaving the ocean, depending on the day.

Wild Salmon

Swimming the Copper River in south-central Alaska, wild salmon from this region are considered some of the best in their class due to their fat content and flavor. Depending on the purveyor, fish are caught in the Copper River and flown overnight via Seattle to Boston. They typically arrive at Columbus Fish Market 24-36 hours after they’ve been caught. When wild salmon aren’t in season, they bring Alaskan farmraised salmon in through the same channels. Columbus Fish Market will most likely carry its own MSC certification starting this winter, says Assistant General Manager Patrick Bober.

At Solis Women’s Health, we have lots of ways to make you smile. When you get a mammogram with us, you can expect the best. We have dedicated breast radiologists and a warm, caring staff that routinely delivers results to you in just 48 hours. Early detection saves lives, so don’t wait. Call today to schedule your annual Solis mammogram. We’ll treat you like the masterpiece you are.

“We can only accommodate up to 50 artists; we do have limited space,” Buckland says, “but there are really very few changes from last year.” Artists are chosen by a jury panel that includes Buckland, Pertain Gillespie, Charlie Rowland, Fran Mangeno and Judy Anderson. “We do some recruiting, but word of mouth is pretty incredible,” Buckland explains. It’s especially exciting for organizers because of the amount of attention it’s getting from art lovers around the country. “We had a lot of out-of-state artists come in from Chicago, Texas, Pennsylvania and, this year, from Indiana. It’s starting to attract some real attention,” Buckland notes. While the artists are all talented with a paintbrush – some compete in the fitness events, too. Considering that there are more than 170,000 attendees, organizers hope to eventually attract more artists who will also compete in the fitness challenges. “Last year, the artist from Chicago competed in the pump and run on Sunday, and the artist from Texas’ boyfriend is a competitor in the martial arts,” Buckland tells. This year, Powell resident Laura Wolery plans on participating in the painting competition before taking her turn in the ballroom dancing event for ages 50 and up. “I’ll actually be painting in my gown because I don’t want to miss either event,” she says with a laugh. “There’s a lot of camaraderie there; I’m so excited to go back. I’m really looking forward to it.” cs Jon Theiss is editor of CityScene Magazine

Sylvester Stallone, action hero and painter, enjoys speaking with the artists about their inspiration and technique. Artists may work in oil, acrylic, charcoal, watercolor and collage.

The Doctor is In Dr. Laura Wolery returns to the 2011 Art at the Arnold hoping to take home some additional accolades. Winner of the 2010 Arnold’s Choice award, Arnold’s own “best of show” prize, Wolery was one of the only artists to produce a large piece that won, in part, because of her unique aesthetic. “Most of the artists were painting realistic portraits, but that’s just not the way I paint,” she explains. Her portrait, a colorful contemporary work, contains hidden messages, words, faces and text messages that she captured from people walking by. Wolery, a medical doctor and ballroom dancer, has been painting as a hobby for years. Now, she brings her artistic flair and her competitive nature to the festival with renewed fervor. She’s more focused than she was last year because she knows what to expect this time, she says. “Last year was the first one, so artists didn’t know what to expect, and they were all quite nervous about the seven-hour time constraint. Everything I do as a doctor is under time constraints, so it didn’t really bother me,” she says. Whatever she did, it worked. Sylvester Stallone actually purchased the painting after a few words of praise. “He said to me, ‘I didn’t come here to see photo-real portraits. I came here to see something I’ve never seen before – raw creativity.’ ” After her conversation with Stallone, she got the chance to take photos with “Rambo on one arm and the Terminator on the other,” and felt like she “was crowned Miss

America and won the lottery at the same time,” she says, laughing. With the confidence she gleaned from last year's competition and the Arnold’s Choice award in her back pocket, she says she’s going to pull out all the stops this time around. “I’m going to go big. I’m going to go bold. I can assure you that there will be glitter involved,” she explains. “I push everything as far as I can. I want there to be an element of explosion to my piece.” Even if she doesn’t take home any awards for her painting, she’ll still have the opportunity to take home the gold for her ballroom dancing abilities. It’s all part of what makes the weekend so special for Wolery, who also moonlights as a belly dancer. Regardless of the awards, the excitement in her voice is obvious. “It’s really just the most fun ever!” she beams.

Bob Webb Group helps Joe and Cindi Cooper transform a home to create the ideal family environment By Duane St. Clair photography by christopher keels

L

ike many others, Joe and cindi cooper modified the original design of their bob Webb group home to fit the needs of a family of six when they chose to build in highland lakes in southern Delaware county, not far from their previous home in the same wide-spread development. that was about eight years ago. Now, the coopers are practically empty-nesters, save for periodic visits by their three college-aged sons. at the outset, the coopers wanted a “salt box and a downstairs master – and a southern Joe and Cindi Cooper facing lot.” When they found a lot they wanted, it had been sold. however, cindi spotted a woman removing the “sold” sign and “i told her to leave it, i’ll buy it.” to accomplish the look they wanted, the front of the stucco home has wood siding, unique on Webb homes. “We wanted a front porch, too, a typical New england look,” she says.

The open-concept kitchen done in black granite with white cabinetry allows for plenty of room to move, convenient when the Cooper’s daughter and three college-aged sons come to visit.

The home office is arranged with plenty of storage to keep important documents organized. Originally, the space was meant to serve as a formal living room. www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

High ceilings and a two-story window wall overlooking a wooded ravine make the great room one of the most tranquil areas in the home. A neutral color scheme only adds to the overall serenity of the space.

They don’t use the two rooms near the entry foyer for their suggested purposes. Through solid double doors to the left is Joe’s home office where a formal living room had been outlined. To the right, through a pillared opening, was to be the dining room, that Cindi says the family wouldn’t use. Now, it’s a place for Cindi’s computerized equipment that she uses to create art from photographs – a pastime she took up a few years ago. Down the foyer is the great room with a two-story window overlooking a wooded ravine. To the right of the hall is the kitchen, decorated with black granite, white cabinets, paneled doors and stainless appliances. A two-stool service bar extends from one side of the opening to an adjoining dining area. There, the Coopers added a bay window near a circular table with seating for five. The master suite is located on the opposite side of the great room. It has a walk-in closet off of the sleeping area. A twin-sink counter and white cabinetry stand out when viewed through the large opening to the bath, where there’s a soaking tub beneath a rear window.

Upstairs, they chose to add a room above the garage, a bedroom with a full bath. Two other bedrooms are served by a Jack‘n Jill bath. Where a fourth bedroom was planned, they opted for a loft overlooking the great room. Initially, Cindi said she used it for sewing and scrapbooking, but that was before she turned to photography and artwork. At the outset, some space upstairs and in the finished lower level allowed room for her hobby, as well as allowing recreational room for friends their four then-school-age children. The lower level is Joe’s space for whatever he wants. Originally they used the room (with a bath off a large entertainment space) as a bedroom. After that child went off to college, Cindi installed photographic developing and printing equipment there. The entertainment area has a projection television and movie screen served by comfortable Joe’s vinyl record collection adorns the walls of his band couches. There’s rehearsal space. Joe’s band, The Debits, is made up of a pool table and a musically-minded accountants. collapsible pingpong table stands at one end. Joe’s signature space is the “drum room.” Joe, one of the three original members of The Debits, a musical group of accountants, keeps two drum sets for band practice. One wall is covered with framed record album covers he has collected and Cindi’s hobby, creating art from her photography, requires some extensive machinery. The basement is now home to some other souphotographic developing and printing equipment. venirs from music

camps he has attended. While the album covers are attractive, Joe offers a quick “nothing” when asked what he does with CD cases. He’s also a karate enthusiast and has a padded workout apparatus in the room. Outside, the Coopers had a large fish pond installed as part of the landscaping that includes a stone walled circular seating area at the edge of the woods. A net covers it as protection from a heron that often visits to scoop up larger fish. How long the Coopers will keep the home is an open question. The Coopers have been in the Columbus-area for 20 years and really like it here, Cindi says. But they do have a second home in Naples, Fla., and Cindi is spending her second winter there. “I get too cold,” she says. At least for now Joe will make frequent trips to the warmer climate where Cindi gets to spend time with many acquaintances from the Columbus area and other family members. v www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

Powell family turns ‘man cave’ into ‘family cave’ with indoor recreation By Gail Martineau PhotograPhy by dave kivimaki

B

ruce Miller’s 600-square-foot man cave – complete with foosball and ping-pong tables, an indoor basketball game, a dartboard and a bar – is actually the first floor of his Northwest Columbus home. Miller considers the space more of a family area than a traditional man cave. It’s especially valuable this time of year, giving the family space for physical recreation and shelter from the elements. “As much as it’s a man cave, it’s a family cave,” Miller says. “The whole family hangs out and has a good time.” He says the space is not a traditional basement man cave, because their home, built in the 1940s, doesn’t have a real basement, just a small cellar.

Bruce and Beth Miller

The space is flanked by the kitchen on one side and an 8-footwide window that opens to a screened porch that overlooks the woods on the other. On one side, the two-story room is enclosed with the original stone wall that once was the exterior of the old cape cod, which was first renovated in the 1990s. The previous owners also added an addition to the home that year. Miller thinks the space is a nice blend of the new and the old.

To meet the demand for luxury homes in the mid-$300,000s, Truberry Group has introduced the Studio Series. “Buyers are asking for the moon, and we have found a way to give it to them,” says Truberry Group owner Scott Shively. “We took our most well-loved floor plans and gave them a makeover to keep them in the price range where luxury homebuyers need them to be.” Known for its quality construction and attention to detail, Truberry has not compromised quality of materials or craftsmanship for this series, Shively emphasizes. The secret to the Studio Series is in making small design changes that keep costs down and choosing communities where lot prices tend to be more affordable than others. “We’re very proud of how well this new series compares to our family of custom homes,” Shively adds. v Studio Series communities (from top): The Reserve at Glenross, Harvest Wind, Little Bear Village, North Orange and The Woods at Dornoch.

Your Year inVacations

Take the stress out of vacationing by planning ahead By Colleen D’Angelo

T

ick, tick, tick … that’s the sound of time passing. 2010 is history and it’s time to think and plan your 2011 travel destinations. Close your eyes and picture yourself far away on a fabulous vacation. Are you riding a horse on the sandy beaches of Los Cabos, Mexico? Maybe you’re sipping a glass of pinot noir at a tiny café in Paris or climbing onto Space Mountain at Disney World for a thrilling roller-coaster ride in the dark. Whatever your dream vacation may be, planning ahead will help guarantee incredible travel memories. First Things First Sit down with a calendar and mark off the holidays, spring and summer breaks and personal days like anniversaries and birthdays. If you have an idea of where you’d like to go, get the airfare locked in. Professionals advise up to one year in advance for airlines and 6 months ahead for hotels, shows and other travel details. Websites like www.airfarewatchdog.com are free and will send you alerts on inex-

pensive flights from your home city. If you’d like to make the process more stress free, consider contacting a travel agent. Their knowledge about typical fare prices c a n p ro v i d e t h e kind of advice you’ll need to get the most bang for your buck. Craig Baldridge of Creative Vacations in Dublin says his team has more than 100 years combined travel experience. That know-how is useful if you can’t decide when or where to book a flight. “It’s difficult to get time off to travel and you can’t afford to have things go wrong,” he says. “Why not use a travel agent who has your back 24/7 and can advise you on deals and specials?”

Looking Ahead from January 2011 I d e a l l y, y o u should have your spring break booked before Jan. 1, because prices increase and availability is slim. If you haven’t yet decided on a spring destination, it’s still possible to book a trip – it just may cost you a little more. January is actually when you should look forward to your summer vacation. Jody Smith from Creative Travel says, “It’s supply and demand. There are simply fewer planes flying these days which means higher fares for fewer seats.” If you have a special trip in mind like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, now is when you should book cityscene • January/February 11 37

your hotel with a view of the parade route. The Wellington and the Park Central New York Hotel both have great views of the floats, but don’t book higher than the 12th floor for the best vantage point. Jan. 1 is also a good time to plan for Valentine’s Day. How about a romantic weekend in New York with champagne, a Broadway show and a carriage ride around Central Park? Restaurants and hotels fill up quickly, so don’t disappoint your sweetheart. A nice ski weekend is always in style, and you can fly or drive to several locations. Snowshoe in West Virginia is six hours from Columbus and has skiing, tubing, snowmobiling and many other scenic activities, including events on popular weekends like Martin Luther King Day, Jan. 17 and President’s Day, Feb. 21. (www.snowshoemtn.com) Five hours away in western New York is the beautiful ski resort, Holiday Valley. Nicknamed “the Aspen of the East,” its quaint, rural town of Ellicottville has a large variety of bars, restaurants and

shops. There are 58 slopes on the mountain and the resort is famous for its Winter Carnival the second weekend in March (www.holidayvalley. com) Moving into Spring First, ask yourself what you want from your break. Do you like to stay in a single location or move around and sight-see as much as possible? Do you like active trips with hiking, biking and boating or do you want to lounge and enjoy fabulous meals and entertainment? For people who like to unpack only once yet still see multiple cities, cruising is ideal. European river sailing is popular right now, as well as cruising the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. If you want to really explore a destination, stay for at least four days in cities like Rome or

Paris and take professional tours. Guides will give you the most his history and ensure that you see the best of the city. A professional travel agent who has access to special airfares, hotel and resort deals can help build a custom trip just for you. “We can do everything from arranging for international cell phones, passports, visas and currency to scheduling hair appointments during your vaca vacation,” says Lisa Baldridge of Creative Vacations. “We can also track specific events for clients like when Notre Dame will play Navy in Dublin, Ireland in September 2012.” In general, the more the travel agents know about your style of travel and what interests you, the better they can guide you to a perfect vacation. Be detailed. When you return from your fabulous cruise or San Sandals Resort Vacation in March or April, look again at your calendar. Mother’s Day is May 8, Memorial Day is May 30, Father’s Day is June 19 and don’t forget the 4th of July! Most cities have fabulous fireworks displays, so why not try somewhere new this year? Boston, Mass., has the premier Independence Day celebration in the nation. Hundreds of thousands of visitors join in the two-day event with the Boston Pops and other featured artists, like 2010’s guest, Toby Keith. The fireworks spectacular over the Charles River culminates with Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture,” complete with howitzer cannons and church bells. (www.july4th.org) Summer & Fall During the summertime you should be looking ahead to fall, Labor Day on Sept. 5, Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations. Compare your work schedule with the school breaks and consider a festive excursion. Oglebay’s Winter Festival of Lights in West Virginia is one of the largest and most famous Christmas light displays in the country. The 6-mile drive takes you across the hillsides, through a tunnel with thousands of twinkling snowflakes www.cityscenecolumbus.com

and past a 60-foot tall poinsettia wreath. (www.oglebay-resort.com) Maybe a professional hockey tour is more your style, where you travel to games in various cities. You could start with the Columbus Blue Jackets, move on to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Buffalo Sabres and end up in Canada with the Maple Leafs and the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. (Don’t forget your passport!) Or perhaps you’d rather keep warm at an indoor water park where it is always a balmy 84 degrees. After splashing down slides all day, children can relax in the kid’s spa with chocolate mask facials and cherry icing manicures. Great Wolf Lodge has nearby locations in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan. (www. greatwolf.com)

Winter In November, before the craziness of the holidays, take time to look toward the following year. Vendors like cruise lines and hotels need to hit their quotas before the year’s end, so deals and freebies are plenty. You will have your pick of the best rooms and will often find free transfers, breakfasts or half price for children on spring break. Remember, if you want guaranteed beach weather, plan on traveling far south, like Mexico or the Dominican Republic. Florida can still be cool and rainy in March and April. cs For more information on Creative Vacations, visit www.creativevacations.com Colleen D’Angelo is a contributing writer for CityScene Magazine.

Favorite Son

William Hawkins’ art provides a window into 20th-century African American identity By Leonard B. Jaffe

Now, after his death, he’s regarded as one of the best folk and self-taught artists in his milieu – a jewel in the crown of the Midwest art scene and the African American community. He has been featured in one-man shows at the Museum of American Folk Art and the Columbus Museum of Art, and his pieces have been included in a range of museum survey exhibitions of American Outsider and Folk Art at the New Orleans Museum of Art, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, The National Museum of American Art and The High Museum of Art, Atlanta, among others. “There’s an immediacy and emotional intensity in Hawkins’ work that comes directly from the folk tradition. A lot of postmodern and contemporary art gets caught up in its own language. Folk art and self-taught art

illiam Hawkins (1897-1990), one of the preeminent African American folk artists of the 20th century, will be featured this month at a group show at Keny Galleries. The show, billed as Elijah Pierce, William Hawkins, La Von Van Williams Jr. and African American quilts; Exceptional Examples by Folk and Self-taught Masters, includes Hawkins’ compelling paintings that are both visually striking and sociologically fascinating. Born on a Kentucky farm, Hawkins moved to Columbus in 1916 where he lived until his death. Although he’d been

drawing from a young age, he didn’t actually pick up a paintbrush until he was well into his silver years. He wasn’t “discovered” until a few years later when he entered an amateur painting contest at the Ohio State Fair. That’s where a New York art critic realized that this particular painter was an undiscovered gem. “Robert Natkin, a really respected art critic, realized how powerful this work was. He took him out of the amateur competition and put him in the professional collection, then awarded him first prize,” Tim Keny, owner of Keny Galleries, says. From that point on, Hawkins’ star rose.

has more of a visual and soulful immediacy,” Keny explains. The show is unified by rich, decorative patterning, which has its roots in quilt making. “West African textile traditions were brought over by slaves and transmitted into their quilt making,” he says. “There’s a great sense of rich, animated color, decorative patterning and in many cases an asymmetrical balance that’s punctuated visually much like a musician would punctuate a song with a riff. You can see the same parallels. He really is constructing a narrative about the African American aesthetic.” Keny is thrilled to exhibit Hawkins, one of Columbus’ favorite sons, in this show. “What distinguishes him from a mediocre folk artist is the visual impact his works make, and his ability to edit his subject matter. He brings the images right into the viewer’s eyes, accentuates what’s important and creates an iconic presence complemented by rich brush work that animates the surfaces as well. Hawkins will just give you the ferocity of the eagle and snake fight, or the grandeur of a building by emphasizing the monumentality and dynamism that he admired. He would’ve been a great graphic designer.” cs Keny Galleries will exhibit Hawkins’ work, along with Peirce and Van Williams Jr. from Jan. 14-Feb. 7. They will hold an opening reception on Jan. 14 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Leonard B. Jaffe is a contributing writer for CityScene Magazine. www.cityscenecolumbus.com

The Painter’s Eye Featuring Carmen Bertagna by John Singer Sargent By Michael McEwan

J

anuary marks the re-opening of the original building of the Columbus Museum of Art after a massive renovation and complete re-installation of the permanent collection. What a perfect time to take a second look at one fine collection. One of my personal favorites is John Singer Sargent’s portrait study of Carmen Bertagna (CA: 1880, 23 ½ x 9 ½, oil/canvas). Sargent is well loved by most painters primarily because of his dazzling brush handling and unerring eye for the right value. The model Carmen (her name and address are scratched into the paint, lower left) was well known to artists in 1880s Paris. This beautiful, young Spanish girl had an exotic look that certainly would have attracted Sargent. The composer Georges Bizet said she had “eyes like a wolf,” and she may well have figured into Bizet’s opera by the same name. This painting is an outstanding performance. The subtle grays and cool pinks that set off the warm flesh tones in her face were painted and left untouched, probably complete in just a few hours. The brushwork is notably vigorous but precise. It may be of interest to take a look at this canvas from another angle. You must be directly in front of the painting to make this work.
