Parade Prep
Plans proceeding for Independence Day festivities More families in need will be pulling up seats around their kitchen tables because of the Upper Arlington Rotary Club. Upper Arlington Rotary donated $3,000 to the Furniture Bank of Central Ohio in April for the organization to build chairs to accompany the tables it already produces. The furniture bank, which provides free furniture to central Ohio families and individuals struggling with poverty and other life challenges, takes donations of gently used furniture from individuals and organizations and fixes items if necessary. Volunteers also assemble donated furniture kits and build kitchen tables and dressers from donated particle board from Sauder Woodworking Co. This is the third time Upper Arlington Rotary has supported the furniture bank, and club members also regularly volunteer to build tables at the bank’s workshop. Pat Camp, furniture bank senior development officer, accepted the check from Rotary Club member Sandy Clary.

News & Information from the Village of Marble Cliff
MARBLE CLIFF
Signs of Positive Times The past year was a good one for the Village and its residents, property owners and businesses, says Mayor Kent Studebaker. “We witnessed positive movement from two perspectives … in economic development and in the Village’s quality of life.” Of significance for the Village is its brighter economic environment. “I gauge this by vacancy rates in our commercial properties, and we’re seeing full capacity at 1600 Dublin Rd. (former NiSource building) and significant renovation and projected full capacity at 1400 Dublin Rd. (former Custom Coach building). Businesses also have renewed interest in smaller spaces along Fifth Avenue,” Studebaker says. “Vacancies are decreasing because the Village works with businesses to meet their unique needs,” he said. “Village decision-makers remain constant. That knowledge continuity promotes positive economic development. I appreciate the leadership of recently retired councilman and immediate past Council President David Roark as well as the interest of new Council member Dow Voelker who brings government and real estate experience.” The mayor listed several factors and recent activities that have enhanced the Village’s visibility and quality of life.

Lara Ross, who graduates from Indiana University in May, is being tapped for the Columbus Eagles, the new team in the Women’s Premier Soccer League. 12

Playing the Field UA high school grad comes home to play for semi-pro team Like many graduating college seniors, Lara Ross will look for a career based in her field of study after she leaves her university. But unlike the rest of the pack, she’ll get to competitively continue her favorite pastime: soccer. The Columbus Eagles is the newest team in the Women’s Premier Soccer League, and the Upper Arlington High School graduate has been tapped for the roster. “I’d rather be out at the field than anywhere else,” Ross says. When Ross takes the soccer field, she has two things on her mind: defense and her older brother, David. “He was my biggest inspiration growing up,” Ross says. “He’s seven years older than me, so I grew up watching him play. I always wanted to be like him. He’ll gladly take pride in any of my successes.” David twice made the cross-country trip from Denver to watch Ross play at the college level at Indiana University and critique her game. “We lost both games, but it was so great having him there and hear his criticism after,” Ross says. “He always has something to say. He used to tape games in high school, and when I would watch the film, I could hear evwww.trivillagemagazine.com
erything he would say, and he would not hold back.” With her brother, a former Wittenberg University soccer player, guiding and setting the benchmark as a soccer player, Ross played soccer throughout high school and became a key player on the team. “When she played for me, she was my No. 1 player,” says Mark Wise, Ross’ coach at UA High School during her senior year. “We had someone who could score, but Lara was the one who understood the game and controlled it. She played 90 minutes, all out.” Ross’s success in high school resulted in a collegiate career at Indiana University, where she competed all four years and starred as a defender this past year. “I like to be in the midfield, even though that’s rare,” she says. “Coaches always liked to put me at defense. I’m reliable. I can’t stop everything, but I’ve developed great communication skills and I can command the back line.” Even though she wasn’t scoring all the goals, Ross’ presence on the field was known. “She has great ball skills and precision, so when they put her in the back, I said they were wasting their talent in the midfield,” Wise says. “She can control this game, but watching her play in the back, … she’s tenacious. She doesn’t let anyone get around her. She has shut down some of the best forwards the game has to offer.” 13
Lara Ross juggles a soccer ball back on the field at her alma mater, Upper Arlington High School.
This grip on the game and her aggressive nature helped Ross lead the Hoosiers to a 15-7-1 season her senior year. “We took off this season and started a whole new era of Indiana University soccer,” Ross says. “We got into the Big 10 tournament and the second round of the NCAA tournament. We played the reigning national champions, North Carolina.” Ross graduates this spring with a bachelor’s degree in health management and policy. Soccer played a role in her choosing health administration as a career path and was a big factor in her selecting Indiana University. “I originally wanted to do nursing, but I wouldn’t have been able to balance the time. I should have done something like coaching,” she says with a laugh. During college, she stayed on top of her education, despite the game always

being on her mind. Student athletes are regularly class checked to ensure they don’t let sports get in the way of studies. “I was one of the first to practice and one of the last to leave,” Ross says. Class may be over, but Ross is not ready to give up the game. Her position with the Eagles is the beginning of a semi-pro and, maybe one day, professional career. Support for the Eagles is growing every day, says Wise, who is the Eagles’ coaching director. “The future looks bright,” he says. “We touched a nerve in central Ohio when it comes to female soccer outside of college. There are a lot of ex-players who still want to play, and this gives them the opportunity, but it’s not just that. There’s a large market for people who want to watch women’s soccer. Many say they’ve been waiting for this.” When top colleges around the nation scout for talent, central Ohio is one of their go-to locations. Adding a semi-pro team to the area just made sense, Wise says. And he doesn’t want to stop there. “If it builds a big enough market and sponsors, we’ll look into the national league,” he says. “Columbus is one of the top five markets in terms of female soccer recruiting. To not have a pro team is crazy. At least we can start with this premier league and see where it goes.” One of the biggest attractions to the game for women – and for fans – is the level playing field between men’s and women’s leagues. Unlike baseball, softball and basketball, both men’s and women’s soccer leagues play with the same size ball and field. “There are not a lot of opportunities for women to continue their sporting careers,” Wise says. “Soccer is soccer; it’s the same game as the men’s game.” The Eagles season opener is May 11 at 4 p.m. in South Bend versus FC Indiana. The home opener is 2 p.m. May 25 on The Wellington School field. Stephan Reed is an editorial associate. Feedback welcome at laurand@ cityscenemediagroup.com. www.trivillagemagazine.com

Family-owned restaurants keep pace with the changing face of Tri-Village
Matt Marshall of Marshall’s
Marshall’s used to
have a different name and location. Caffé DaVinci is the third restaurant in its owner’s family. The Chef-O-Nette brought the first drive-through to Upper Arlington. Then – and now – innovation is a must for family-run restaurants that are mainstays in the Tri-Village community. A few of the older dining establishments told us how things have changed over the years and how they stay abreast of the latest trends. Marshall’s has reinvented itself a few times since it opened as Chris’s Restaurant in 1985 on Grandview Avenue. Back then, breakfast was all it served, says Matt Marshall, son of Chris Marshall and the restaurant’s owner. 16
“My dad was renting the building from a church, and I think it got turned into a youth center. It’s actually where the Arlington Bank is now,” Matt says. The restaurant moved West First Avenue near Northwest Boulevard in 1992. Matt and his wife, Shannon, purchased it from his father in 2004. Its ownership isn’t the only thing that has changed over the years. “Once we started in 1992, we did breakfast, lunch and dinner and closed at 8 (p.m.). It was comfort food,” Matt says. “Then my dad purchased a liquor license and added the bar and changed the back of the restaurant to add some pool tables.” The closing of a salon next door paved the way for the restaurant to expand in 2000 – and add the koi pond and transparent tunnel that Marshall’s is known for. Shortly afterward, Chris took over breakfast and lunch duties and turned the bar over to Matt and Shannon.
“I took out the booths and put some pool tables in and just changed it over. We concentrated on breakfast, lunch and the full bar,” Matt says. When Chris’s opened, there were few restaurants in Grandview Heights, Matt says, naming Paul’s and Spagio as two of the other long-time local eateries. “There really wasn’t much else around,” he says. “Now you’ve got the (Grandview Yard). ... You have all the restaurants.” Recently, Marshall’s added a breakfast buffet, a lunch buffet and more seating to the bar side. “Nowadays, everyone is in a hurry,” Matt says. “You’ve just got to change with the times.” Though Caffé DaVinci is a relatively new restaurant – it opened in 2006 – owner Tina Elsea has been in the restaurant business since she was a high schooler. “(My parents) started DaVinci’s Restaurant when I was a senior in high school www.trivillagemagazine.com
Kim and Tina Elsea, owners of Caffé DaVinci
… behind the movie theater on Henderson and Reed roads,” Elsea says. That was 1974. Elsea and her siblings and cousins worked the restaurant throughout their college years. She studied education at The Ohio State University and taught Spanish and Italian in Columbus Public Schools until after her first child was born. Elsea’s parents, Dominico and Italia Ciotola, also helped run Monte Carlo on Cleveland Avenue before deciding to purchase a former funeral home at the corner of Henderson and Reed roads. The white-tablecloth restaurant featured a large banquet room and was open until 2006, when Tina and her husband, Kim, decided to go smaller and open Caffé DaVinci at the corner of Tremont and Zollinger roads. “I used to be a runner, and whenever I’d run by that corner … I’d think about it. When that place opened up with a ‘For Rent’ sign, my husband and I both looked at each other and said, ‘OK, let’s go for it.” The smaller space lends itself well to a fast-casual restaurant, but two things
were mandatory, Elsea says: The food had to be of the same quality and she wanted to open a gelateria. “We wanted to keep the good quality of the food, (but) we wanted to change the concept,” she says. “When you look at the demographic in the area, there are a lot of couples with young kids. We thought it would be good to go fast-casual – good food made to order.”
No Cuts. No Color. Just Blowouts.
The gelateria recently moved from the building’s north side to a glassed-in space on the restaurant’s south side. Muralist Michael Dickinson painted the wall behind the gelato counter to resemble a scene from the streets of Italy. In contrast, the space at the ChefO-Nette is much the same as when it opened in 1955. Owner Harlan Howard, who purchased the business from his

father in 1993, has updated the decor only as needed to replace worn-out items. Howard’s father, Maborn, bought the business in 1970 from Jim Reed and Chuck Zollinger. The ChefO-Nette’s drive-up carryout window is one of the oldest in the country. Howard says he can’t find a record of any restaurant having one earlier. The Chef-O-Nette’s classic diner style and famously low prices – as well as its signature dish, the hangover sandwich, a hamburger with ham, cheese, tomato, lettuce and onion – are the same, but Howard says a lot is different, too. “The demographics have changed. At one time, I remember well, the majority of the household was empty-nesters or retired, and that’s all changed as younger families moved in with their children,” he says. Howard changes the menu, too, to offer variety to his devoted regulars. Some of the popular recent additions to the menu are a pulled pork sandwich served on Texas toast and a berry tart. Though his two children worked in the restaurant during their school years, neither is involved now. “One’s a speech therapist and the other one’s a chemical engineer,” Howard says. Similarly, the buck stops with the Elseas at Caffé DaVinci. No other family members are currently employed there, Tina says. Matt’s daughter, Madison, 12, occasionally buses tables at Marshall’s on weekends. Olivia, 8, wants to help, too, but is too young, says Matt, who started working at the family business when he was around 8. “I’d go in and sweep the floors or pick up stuff,” Matt says. He started full-time at the restaurant after graduating high school. “I went to the school of hard knocks,” he jokes. He doesn’t expect his daughters to follow their parents’ footsteps, though. “My kids will go to college and figure out what they want to do.” www.trivillagemagazine.com

The business owners agree that being part of the community has been one of the things they enjoy most about their work. “The customers coming in, they’re not just a number,” Matt says. “You get to know everyone – their grandparents, their nieces, their nephews.” Elsea says she couldn’t have chosen a better area for the family business. “We feel very blessed because this community is amazing. It’s hard to describe how these customers become your friends,” she says. “We’ve met so many people, I feel like we’re all one big family, and I love it. People come to the restaurant and you get to know them. You feel like you can talk about everything. Everybody knows each other. I say it’s like Cheers. … Every so often you’ll hear someone say, ‘I grew up on DaVinci’s food,’ and I’m thankful for that.” Lisa Aurand is editor of Tri-Village Magazine.

New to Town
Next generation learns safety basics Community child safety programs in both Grandview Heights and Upper Arlington aim to instill a sense of awareness in the minds of young children. Both cities will again host programs introducing safety awareness and preventive procedures to preschool children and cover safety topics such as stranger awareness, fire safety, poison avoidance, water safety and safety around animals. The Upper Arlington Police Division’s three-hour a day, two-week Safety Town program attracts approximately 400 kindergartners each summer and has been held since 1971. “They will be introduced to what police officers do in the community,” says Heather Galli, community relations officer of the Upper Arlington Police Divi-
20
sion. “In addition, children also spend time on our miniature village where they learn how to walk safely and cycle following basic guidelines and rules.” From the first day of the program until the last, the children are directly interacting with certified teachers, Upper Arlington’s law enforcement officers and representatives from the city’s Fire and Aquatics divisions, and representatives from the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Burn Unit. Children are taught how to react when the house catches fire, to identify poi-

sons that may look like regular food, the importance of maintaining their bicycles and how to remain safe in and around the water whether they’re swimming, boating or fishing. The Grandview Heights Parks and Recreation Department offers a similar program known as SafetyView Heights. The Grandview Heights program was Safety Town when it was established in 1978. The name was changed to SafetyView Heights in the mid-1990s. Marta Durban, recreation supervisor, says parents need to assist their children
Safety Town – Upper Arlington Greensview Elementary, 4301 Greensview Dr. Children must be 5 years old or first grade students prior to Sept. 30 to qualify. Four sessions are held: - Session A: June 16-27, 9 a.m.-noon - Session B: June 16-27, 1-4 p.m. - Session C: July 7-18, 9 a.m.-noon - Session D: July 7-18, 1-4 p.m. Register online at www.uaoh.net, via mail, or in person at the Upper Arlington Parks & Recreation Department during office hours. A graduation ceremony will be held after each session has concluded. Cost is $85 for Upper Arlington residents, $102 for non-residents.
SafetyView Heights – Grandview Heights McKinley Field Shelter House, 1661 Goodale Blvd. SafetyView accepts children from preschool through first-grade. Runs June 9-20 from 10 a.m.- noon. Parents can register their children in person at the Grandview Heights Parks and Recreation Department. Students receive certificates upon completion of the program at the graduation ceremony on June 20 at 11:30 a.m. Cost is $60 for Grandview Heights residents, $70 for non-residents. www.trivillagemagazine.com
in getting acquainted with safety issues within the home area and outside of it where they play. “We look at different perspectives of what we can do to help children be more alert and active about safety,” Durban says. “We also have our police and fire department come down, and they also have an interaction with our kids, and (the children) just love to look at both the police vehicle and the big fire truck. That’s as close as some people even get to our law enforcement and our emergency crew.” Certified teachers and long-time residents of Grandview Heights conduct the program, assisted by volunteers from local middle schools. “The teachers went through this program when they were kids, their kids have gone through it, and now they’re teaching other families’ children,” Durban says. Children at SafetyView are put into groups when they first arrive and are taken from one station to another to draw, write, sing and learn via interactive activities – such as riding on small vehicles to practice street safety. But Durban explains that what they offer at Grandview Heights is more than just safety awareness. “SafetyView is the very beginning of that because they actually help those kids to walk away with their own little books that they craft themselves,” Durban says. “SafetyView also teaches the kids how to get along with each other, and you can’t do that unless you bring them together in a safe environment to promote that kind of education.” The Upper Arlington Police Division feels similarly about the weight Safety Town carries in the lives of the both the children who participate and their parents. “Even at a young age, children can be empowered to be participate in their own safety, and, particularly in this age group, they are very involved and see what’s going on in and around their lives,” Galli says. “It’s an incredible opportunity for the students and for parents to leave a positive lasting impression of mutual respect with public safety forces.” Nen Lin Soo is a contributing writer.

Kitchen, Sweet Home UA couple puts its own touch in midcentury ranch
When Joe Bradley and his girlfriend, Heather Qurter, moved into their twobedroom home in Upper Arlington in June 2013, they knew they would be making some pretty big changes to it.
Bradley, who works in medical sales, has always had a passion for home renovation; moving into a new house simply meant the challenge of making it feel like home. “You’re not going to go into a house and say, ‘This is exactly how I wanted it.’ I love using the bones and going, ‘OK, we can do this,’ and you get to come up with creative ideas,” Bradley says. The one-story house was built in the 1960s and had a kitchen without much room to maneuver and a bathroom with some serious space issues. Bradley’s sister, Jacqueline, a real estate agent, showed the couple the home. “We bought the house knowing we were going to have to rehab it,” says Bradley, who graduated from Upper Arlington High School and lived in Los Angeles and Chicago before returning to his hometown. “We could have made

the kitchen work, but the bathroom was a space issue.” The master bath had excessive cabinet space that left room for only a very tight shower. “The showerhead came about up to my neck,” says Bradley, laughing. Now the bathroom has a luxuriously large shower with a fog-free mirror for Bradley to use for shaving – and just the right amount of cabinet space. The tiling and cabinetry were also redone. The kitchen, however, posed larger challenges. “The sink wasn’t centered under the
kitchen window; it just didn’t look right. The fridge was in the walkway, so when it was open, we had no room to stand and it blocked the doorway,” says Bradley. Moving the refrigerator and dishwasher allowed them to center the sink underneath the window. Removing the peninsula and adding an island permitted better traffic flow. Bradley and Qurter also decided to create a niche for the microwave and updated the windowsills. “They didn’t go with the style we were going for, so we took out the marble windowsills and put in a backsplash,” Bradley explains. New cabinets from Heartland Home Cabinetry improved the look of the space, but aside from those, Bradley credits everything to Qurter. 23
Qurter used the apps Houzz and Pinterest to plan out the decor for the kitchen and dining area.
“She was really behind the rest of the design. She found a lot of ideas on Pinterest and the Houzz interior design app. The app is great because we could click on everything we saw and see exactly how much it cost,” says Bradley. “Everything we decided on was a group decision, but the designing was all her.” The actual process of remodeling their home took about two months. “We had only lived here a couple of weeks when I started gutting the kitchen myself – ripping up the floors, changing the cabinets. We finished mid-August of last year,” Bradley says. “The biggest challenge with remodeling, I think, was just not having the kitchen space – finding ways to not eat out every night, making microwave meals. Grilling out helped. Just using the living room as a kitchen was the toughest thing.” Now Bradley and Qurter enjoy their renovated rooms. Content with most of of the interior, Bradley has plans to update its exterior aesthetics and make minor upgrades inside.

“We’ll probably paint the house, add more crown molding. I feel like there’s always something you can do to make it feel nicer.” Bradley offers advice to homeowners thinking of renovating: “Try your hardest not to do the rehab while you’re actually living in the home,” he says. “And have an idea of what things cost – what things really cost, once you add in the expenses (of) a plumber, contractor and electrician.” Lauren Andrews is a contributing writer.

Grandview area serves up craft brews
Beer Me! Independent brew lovers who visit the Grandview Heights area might think they’ve died and gone to beer heaven. At least four craft brewers call the neighborhood home: Smokehouse Brewing Company (formerly Smokehouse Smokehouse & Brewpub), Four String Brewing Co., Sideswipe Brewing and Zauber Brewing. And Grandview Yard is home to Grandview Digfest, a celebration of craft beer as well as local micro-distilleries and Ohio wines and liquors held annually in June.

Smokehouse provided a whole roasted pig – and Smokehouse founder Lenny Kolada was astonished to see the animal stripped clean in short order. “It was crazy,” Kolada says. “These are small slider-type sandwiches and that hog was stripped down to pure bone within an hour. It says something
about how good our barbecue is and how good it goes with craft beer.” With 16 years of brewing at the smokehouse on Dublin Road under his belt, Kolada is one of the long-timers in the trendy craft beer scene. “It was always cool, but (we were doing it) before everybody knew it was The Grandview Craft Beer Alliance’s first event, the Grandview High Gravity Hullabaloo, was held Feb. 1.

Laura Oldham of Starburst Media, who has helped Destination Grandview and the Grandview Area Chamber of Commerce plan Digfest for several years, wanted to do more for the local beer scene. Together Oldham, her husband, Doug, and Jamie Gentry created the Grandview Craft Beer Alliance, a nonprofit organization that promotes local beer bars and bottle shops. “It’s non-member based. No one has to pay,” Oldham says. “We want to raise the profile of the Tri-Village area as a great destination for craft beer.” The Alliance’s “coming out” party, so to speak, was the Grandview High Gravity Hullabaloo, which took place Feb. 1. The event, held in a warehouse near the Grandview Yard, billed itself as “a celebration of strong beers and smoked meats.” The Hullabaloo featured beer 8 percent alcohol and above from 10 local breweries; food from Smokehouse, Matt the Miller’s Tavern and Honeykiss Bakery; and classic arcade games from Arcade Super Awesome.

cool,” Kolada says. “I think that we’re perceived as one of the pioneers here in Columbus and I like to think that people compare a lot of the new offerings to what we’ve been doing for a long time. Having said that, we also try to come up with new beer styles. We don’t just rely on the old standards.” Kolada’s new favorites among Smokehouse drink menu are Basin Street Wheat, a wheat wine, and Bourbon Street Wheat, which is matured in a barrel from Woodford Reserve Distillery. “We like to say what we do around here is part art, part science and part magic, and when all of those things come together, you’ve got an adventure in your kind of beer,” Kolada says. In addition to participating in the Hullabaloo and regularly at Digfest, Smokehouse hosts its own annual event – the Mini Real Ale Fest, this year scheduled for June 7. Attendees can drink unfiltered, unpasteurized beer straight from the firkin – a wooden cask – without added carbon dioxide, from Smokehouse and other craft brewers. Kolada is acquainted and friendly with the faces behind the newer breweries in town.
Lenny Kolada of Barley’s Smokehouse & Brewpup also goes by the online handle “Brewdood.”
“You know, the more the merrier. We’re a very collaborative industry,” he says. “I know Geoff Towne (of Zauber Brewing) and Dan Cochran (of Four String Brewing Co.). They’re great guys and they’re doing great things. Of course, not as great as us, but it’s really cool that in this day and age, you can get a really fresh, handcrafted product right in your neighborhood.”

Geoff Towne of Zauber Brewing
Towne, whose taproom on West Fifth Avenue opened Jan. 4, selected his location based on its proximity to the quickly growing Grandview Yard – particularly the condos and apartments. “Grandview in general is the heart of our target market,” Towne says. “Lifestyle-wise it’s a great place to be. It’s along the 315 corridor, which is important for the majority of our target market.” Another benefit of his location over one in the Short North or German Village? Parking. “We have more parking than seats with the Goodwill Columbus lot next door as after-hours parking. If you can find a seat in the bar, I can guarantee you a parking spot,” Towne says. Cochran, a musician, had been brewing at home since 1994 and started leasing the building that houses the Four String Brewing Co. about three years ago. “Craft beer and local in general are becoming so popular that the response has been pretty incredible the last two years. We’ve been growing leaps and bounds,” Cochran says. He chose the location on West Sixth Avenue for his taproom and brewery because he lives nearby. “I live in Grandview and I wanted someplace that was close to home … and I was fortunate enough to find one,” Cochran says.

The brewery is expanding its line of canned beers to its Brass Knuckle Pale Ale and Big Star White IPA and is branching out to the Akron and Canton markets with draft and canned beers. Four String participated in the Hullabaloo and will spend its third year at Digfest in June. “Things are going great,” Cochran says. “We couldn’t ask for more.” Sideswipe Brewing, founded by martial artist Craig O’Herron in November 2013, doesn’t have its own taproom yet, but its brews are already carried in more than 35 locations around central Ohio. O’Herron and his crew brew their three varieties of beer – Elegant Hoodlum Stout, Fisticuffs IPA and Coop Looter, a saison – in a location south of Grandview off of McKinley Avenue. None of Sideswipe’s brews was strong enough for it to participate in the Hullabaloo, but O’Herron says he’s interested in participating in this year’s Digfest. O’Herron began homebrewing beer nine years ago while he was spending a lot of time in Asia, “where the beer was not very good,” he says. He thinks people are drawn to craft beer for the same reason he was. “I think people were looking for more options in their beer choices. You can’t drink the same old beer every day and not what to try something new.” When new brewers pop up, Oldham and the Alliance intend to be there to support them. The Alliance is planning a Maifest for 3-8 p.m. May 10 in the parking lot of Goodwill Cowww.trivillagemagazine.com
