News & Information from Upper Arlington
insideUPPER ARLINGTON By Lisa Aurand
UA Goes East
Students plan fundraising gala for China trip About 20 Upper Arlington High School students will travel to the Far East this summer as part of a string ensemble. The Upper Arlington High School Symphony Orchestra was one of only three U.S. orchestras selected to be part of the League of Astonishing Strings, which will perform in China on a 12-day tour from Beijing to Shanghai. No part of the $110,000 cost for the trip will be district funded, so the students – as well as their mentors and parents – are fundraising to cover some of the expenses. The Bears to Beijing Gala performance, scheduled for March 16, is the primary tour fundraiser, says Dori Jennings, Upper Arlington High School Orchestra Parent Association member and mother of symphony member Laura Jennings, a senior violinist. “It’s pretty expensive, so we’re just trying to raise whatever we can to help offset those costs,” Jennings says. The UAHS Symphony Orchestra was chosen to be part of the trip after Bob Phillips, one of the League’s founders, heard a performance at the Ohio Music Educators Association conference last year, says UAHS Symphony Director Ed Zunic. Zunic says he believes the trip will be a great experience for the students who attend. “First of all, there’s the aspect of working together – not even on the trip itself, but the preparation for the trip (and) what’s going to happen in the next six to eight weeks,” Zunic says. Add to that the rare opportunity to perform in China on stages they might never even see, otherwise. “China has built these incredible performance venues and they don’t have ensembles that perform in them on a regu-
lar basis,” Zunic says. “Then there’s the whole cultural aspect of this adventure. The students who are going with me, none of them has been to China. These are kids from Upper Arlington who are using their instruments as a vehicle to get out of our ZIP code and experience something outside of Franklin County.” The performances abroad will feature pieces by Mozart, Bach and Koppel. “It’s been a bit of a challenge on our end because we have to find music that fits the group,” Zunic says. “We’ll be performing probably 20-30 minutes of music that was composed or written for smaller ensembles. The Gala, planned for 3-6 p.m. March 16 at Hastings Middle School, 1850 Hastings Ln., will feature musicians from ProMusica Chamber Orchestra and the Columbus Symphony, many of whom teach private lessons to the students planning to attend the trip, Zunic says. “We are very excited about this that performance. The gala is a combination of local musicans from ProMusica, from Columbus Symphony Orchestra and ... central Ohio community members that also work with our students,” Zunic says. “The concert itself is two acts. The first act is going to be the adults performing – the teachers performing, the (Columbus Symphony) and ProMusica musicians performing – and the second act is the students performing.” Tickets are $30 for adults and $10 for children under 18 and can be purchased online at www.uastrings.org or at the door. In the meantime, students have been raising money by playing small group performances at private and corporate events and by giving short lessons to younger strings students. Zunic says he’s been impressed with the level of dedication – from the whole community – to making the trip happen. “What struck me about this whole process, in the last six months of preparing for this trip, is how (it) has brought together this group of parents, students and teachers that see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity for these kids,” he says.

THE VILLAGE OF
News & Information from the Village of Marble Cliff
MARBLE CLIFF
Golf Guy
Marble Cliff resident found what he wanted in central Ohio Dan Sullivan graduated from Miami University (Ohio) in 1987 thinking he would someday use his marketing degree in Chicago or New York. However he found over time that he could do exactly what he wanted to do – build a career in sports marketing – and raise a family in central Ohio. Dan began his long association with sports – golf, specifically – after a summer job at the Muirfield Village Golf Club and an internship for the 1987 Ryder Cup and Memorial Tournament. By 1990, he was director of marketing for the Memorial Tournament and was working other tournaments, such as the Wendy’s 3-Tour Challenge, as part of Golden Bear International, Jack Nicklaus’ organization. For the past 11 years, Dan has been managing partner of HNS Sports Group, which was founded to focus on sponsorship consultation, event management, hospitality management, sales representation and tournament operations within the golf market. “HNS is honored to regularly work with many fine companies, golf events, dedicated volunteers and spectators, and meaningful charities. Every one of our events is focused on giving back to charity, which is at the heart of professional golf tournaments and an aspect we are very proud of,” Dan says. Locally, Dan is best known as the executive director of the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance in Dublin, one of three golf events HNS managed in central Ohio during 2013. The others were the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship on the Ohio State Scarlet course and The Presidents Cup, held at the Muirfield Village Golf Club this past October. “The best part of my job is building relationships with people and getting the satisfaction that we’ve put on an event that people enjoy. The hardest part is keeping up with the pace as an event nears,” Dan says. “We grow from seven year-round employees working on the Memorial Tournament to more than 3,000, including volunteers, at tournament time. You have to have a great team in place to make it all work. And that includes the many dedicated, long-time volunteers we are fortu-

nate to have donating their time to the Memorial, Nationwide Children’s Hospital and other central Ohio charities.” Although Dan must travel frequently to meet with sponsors, generate new business and manage such events as the Greenbrier Classic and the Chiquita Classic, he serves on several area boards, including the Greater Columbus Sports Commission, St. Charles High School and the Ohio Tourism Advisory Board. When asked about spare time activities, he quickly lists his family and, of course, golf. Dan is a 5-handicap golfer. He and his wife, Aly, are proud parents of four children: Liam, 16; Torie, 15; Ronan, 13 and Brodie, 10. They live in what many Marble Cliff residents know as the “yellow house” on Arlington Avenue. “Aly and I lived in Upper Arlington where I was raised, and we frequently jogged through Marble Cliff. One day in 2004, Aly called to say that the ‘yellow house’ we had often admired was for sale. We were attracted to the beauty and quaintness of Marble Cliff and made an offer. We have enjoyed our home and the area ever since,” Dan says. “It’s a great community with nice people, close to downtown and the airport and only 20 minutes to Muirfield. Marble Cliff is just a great place to live and raise a family.”

Subha Lembach enthusiastically pursues charity work Volunteerism has always been part of Subha Lembach’s life. When she was in the fifth grade, Lembach, now 38, circulated a petition among her classmates for better playground equipment.
Voracious
Volunteer 14
Subha Lembach volunteers with a host of central Ohio organizations, including the Franklin Park Conservatory Women’s Board.
“And we did get a better playground,” says Lembach, with a laugh. “We got a fitness trail – but I really just wanted more swings.” Upper Arlington resident Lembach, who was born in India, credits her parents with showing her the importance of reaching out to the community. “My dad literally came to this country with $6 or $8. That was all he had,” she says. “As a family, we got a lot of help from a lot of people, and giving back was always part of who my parents were. It was part of our culture.” Lembach grew up in New York City, where she continued her childhood charity work, organizing newspaper and aluminum can drives to raise money for the homeless. She graduated from Cornell University with a history major before earning a degree from Fordham Law School. www.trivillagemagazine.com
Lembach (far right) presents a check to Nationwide Children’s Hospital – the proceeds of Kinder Key’s Caroling fundraiser which she chaired.
“I really focused on public interest law. I did a lot of work in domestic violence, unemployment law and public assistance,” she says. Her volunteerism continued when she moved to Upper Arlington with her husband, Michael, an optometrist with Northwest Eye Surgeons since 2004. The couple met while he was attending the State University of New York College of Optometry and married in 2000. Lembach’s charitable involvement in central Ohio began with Junior League and spread to a myriad of other groups – including the Franklin Park Conservatory, Kelton House Museum and Garden, Columbus Museum of Art, and Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. “When I was in law school, I was part of the Natural Resources Defense Council,” Lembach says, explaining her connection with the zoo. Kelton House appealed to her because of her interest in history. As for the museum and the conservatory, her daughter, Elizabeth, had something to do with that, she says.
“I don’t have a creative bone in my body, so I like supporting it how I can. Art is something my daughter is really passionate about,” she says. Currently, Lembach is putting her energy into Art in Bloom, a biennial fundraiser led by Beaux Arts, an auxiliary of the museum. The fundraiser, scheduled this year for April 25-27 at the museum, offers visitors the chance to view live floral arrangements accompanied by the works of fine art that inspired them during several different events. “One of the things that makes Art in Bloom really unique as a fundraiser is how it weaves the fundraising aspect with the actual art,” says Lembach, who is a member of the Art in Bloom Opening Committee. “It’s the only fundraiser that I’m aware of that really intertwines the art with the fundraiser. The florists use the artwork to inspire their (own) work.” Beaux Arts aims to raise $40,000 for the museum during Art in Bloom. This year’s theme is East Meets West, beginning with An Evening at the Moulin Rouge from 6-8 p.m. April 25; followed
by The Gardens of Russia, a midday tea from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m.; a talk from author, gardener and photographer Elizabeth Murray from 2-3 p.m. April 26; and ending with Jazz Brunch at 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. April 27.

The events are typical of Art in Bloom’s format, but vary in theme from years past, Lembach says. “I took my daughter to the tea last time. That’s a really nice themed tea,” she says. Lembach enjoys volunteering with Beaux Arts, which is just one of the museum’s many auxiliary groups, because of its small roster of active members. “(There are about) 25 to 30 people who are active, and that’s what I liked about it,” she says. “It’s more of an intimate group. It’s a very fun group.” And many of those active members are Upper Arlington residents, she notes. “Having done the ZIP code analysis for Women’s League and Junior League, you always get most of your people from Upper Arlington,” Lembach says. “It’s something (UA) should be proud of.” And advocating for the public good isn’t just a part-time gig for Lembach. She also works full time with Ohio’s Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative, coordinating with community leaders, agencies and juvenile courts.
Art in B Floral designers interpret works of art with live flower arrangements. Admission to Art in Bloom is free with museum admission, but Art in Bloom events require an additional ticket.

“We work on how we can strengthen our juvenile justice system to support kids,” Lembach says. The initiative, part of the state’s Department of Youth Services and established by the nonprofit Annie E. Casey Foundation, works in Cuyahoga, Franklin, Lucas, Montgomery and Summit counties to improve school completion rates and lower re-offense rates among juvenile offenders. In the little spare time she has, Lembach says she enjoys spending time with her daughter. “We usually end up going to the conservatory, the museum or the zoo,” she says with a laugh. And she hopes that her parents’ enthusiasm for giving back gets passed down to the next generation. “I think it’s important for our kids to see us working and being full citizens in the community,” Lembach says. “You’re a role model whether you like it or not.” Lisa Aurand is editor of Tri-Village Magazine.

(Up)Grade School Schools get technology and curriculum updates In the past year, local schools have invested more time and resources into their respective education systems, and now, that investment is paying off. At Grandview Heights, Upper Arlington and Wellington schools, technological and curriculum changes have been made to better the scholastic experience. These advancements will help cater to each student individually. Grandview Heights City Schools
Incorporating online and classroom teaching is considered a “blended learning” approach and can be tailored to each student. “Lessons may look different for each student, and they will be adaptive to his or her needs,” Pettit says. “Some will work in small groups, while some will write a paper individually.” Most schoolwork and resource material will be available on a server accessible by each device in the new learning management system called “itslearning.” The school plans to increase its digital bandwidth to support the influx of mobile devices. It will also continue to use content filters to keep students on track and off of social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter. Funding for the proDistrict Director of Technology Operations Brad Pettit gram is from a permanent improvement levy voters approved in 2010. “The community thinks this is a good move forward,” Pettit says. “This has been the movement in a lot of school districts. We want to give students access to the school beyond the school day.” The committee in charge of 1:1 is currently evaluating notebook and tablet options.
Students at Grandview Heights High School will soon lose the excuse “my dog ate my homework.” Within the next school year, the schools will issue one mobile computing device to each student in grades 9-12. The program, dubbed “1:1 Computing,” is designed to keep up with the changing learning environment, both inside and outside the classroom. “Imagine being at work and having to share whatever device you work with,” says Brad Pettit, district director of technology operations. “We are trying to create a real-world environment inside the classroom. And if you want to see what a mobile device does best, it needs to be with the student at all times.”

The Wellington School
A recent change in the Wellington Upper School curriculum and science program structure has yielded a more catered scholastic experience for juniors and seniors. The school has implemented a plan that has eliminated the past strategy of having students take biology, chemistry and physics in different years and replaced it with one in which students choose a research project to pursue their senior year. “Students spend the entire year on a project of their choosing,” says Jeff Terwin, head of Wellington Upper School and marine biologist. “They become so immersed in it and are excited to dive deep into their own topics.” Spending the full year on a single project allows seniors to delve into areas of science that were previously unattainable due to time constraints. “Some are surprised at how complex the research process is,” Terwin says. www.trivillagemagazine.com

Active Edge Chiropractic, a Grandview-based Chiropractic health and rehabilitation group is expanding its offerings to serve their patients and clients even better! Some of the services you’ll find at their modern facility include health coaching, personal training, fitness classes, weight loss/management, massage, rehabilitation, and chiropractic.
Students at Wellington School work on science projects tailored to their own personal interests.
“The resources, approach and really ‘doing science’ requires so much planning. The only way to understand it is to be a part of it. Typically, in high school, you don’t get that experience.” To help students figure out what area they would like to pursue, the curriculum now promotes taking core science classes the first two years of high school. “Sciences have become interdisciplinary; they don’t stand alone anymore,” Terwin says. “Let’s do some foundation to expose (students) to them early. This sets them up to understand science and pick advanced areas.” The change allows students to work with in-field professionals, both inside and outside of the school. “They find personal motivation to move the project along and create connections outside of Wellington,” Terwin says. “They work with a mentor – primar-

The curriculum change comes after a year of planning, setting goals and building the course by school faculty.

Showing one’s work and keeping track of notes is about to get easier for a fifth grade class at Barrington Elementary School. As a part of a pilot program, “smart pens” will be offered to classrooms at the school midway through the third quarter of the school year. The stylus writing tool will keep track of what students are writing, allow teachers to follow a student’s work throughout problems and record the data onto smartphones and tablets using Bluetooth technology. The device can also record explanations a student may give during the process. The pen writes like a typical writing utensil, but also creates a digital archive when used on special infrared paper. The records these pens create, called “pencasts,” can be replayed and seen by

students, teachers and parents to help pinpoint problem areas or successes in a student’s work. “I can capture pencasts with students who are struggling and review their work to help them further,” says Barrington teacher Crista DeVore, who is a proponent of smartpens. “That will make me a more effective teacher.” Teachers can create their own pencasts, too. They then upload them to a server where students can watch and learn from them at home and better prepare for the next school day. “This is what we call ‘flipping your classroom,’” DeVore says. “What used to be homework, students do in the classroom, and they can now do classroom work in the home.” The idea of using smartpens was conceived when DeVore met with Instructional Leader Chris Bolognese, who was using the technology in his upper-level classes. They discussed methods of transforming and improving instruction with respect to mathematical problem-solving. “Chris brought a pen into the classroom one day and the enthusiasm was incredible to witness,” DeVore says. “We wanted to get started at the elementary level.” Funding for the pilot program comes from a grant from the Upper Arlington Education Foundation. If successful, the program may expand to other classrooms at Barrington and across the district. Stephan Reed is an editorial associate. Feedback welcome at laurand@ cityscenemediagroup.com.

A Change of Name
Mr. High School Sports lends his moniker to Grandview middle school
This May, Grandview Heights fifth-
and sixth-graders will go away for a few days to outdoor camps – just as they have done for 46 years. There, they’ll be counseled by 20 volunteers, mostly high school seniors, and attend classes conducted by their teachers. And right there with them, at Camp Oty’Okwa in Hocking Hills and Camp Ohio near St. Louisville, will be Larry Larson. Larson helped start the camps and still helps run them, even after 28 years as a teacher, retirement and a move to California three years ago. This year, tacked onto to Larson’s schedule between camps is one added event. A school in which he once taught will be officially dedicated as Larry Larson Middle School on May 16. It’s an honor he says he never expected or deserves. “I don’t feel I’m deserving of this. All I did was do my job: teaching young people,” Larson says via a phone interview from his new home in California. Larson started as a physical education teacher at Robert Louis Stevenson Elementary and Edison Intermediate schools in Grandview Heights. He was middle school football coach, then high school coach. After a couple years, he took the athletic director’s job as well for another five years. “For 24 of the 28 years, I taught physi- Larry Larson cal education. I loved it,” Larson says. He says he turned down an offer to leave the elementary school job to work full-time in high school athletics. Moving from teaching elementary to coaching high school athletics was easy, he says.

“I knew all of the students.” With no hint of complaining, Larson mentions how, when he was coaching at both levels and serving as the athletic director, he often worked 14-hour days. When athletic director became a separate, full-time position, he kept it until he retired. Larson and some students examine crawfish at Camp Ohio.

In its brief report, the committee that recommended the naming honor said, “His oversight of the (camp program) over the past 40 years has had a major impact on the growth and development of hundreds of (students).” Larson modestly says an estimated 5,000 students have gone to the camps and another 500 have been counselors. He’s happy in the 10-year-old West Coast community that was designed for younger people, not retirees. He’s a young 70. Larson says he body surfs in the nearby Pacific Ocean three days a week. On Sundays, he works as a tour guide at Mission Basilica, a Catholic shrine in nearby San Juan Capistrano. Larson says he was “unbelievably fortunate to teach in Grandview.”
At this stage of his life, “I’m still teaching in Grandview” with no plans to quit working at the camps, he says. “Buildings should be named after heroes,” Larson says, and names a personal hero – Christa McAuliffe, a teacher who died in the January 1986 explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger. “I never thought of myself as a hero. I would never use that as a (word) to describe what I did.” Larson plans to attend the dedication ceremony along with his family. Besides
Liza and her son, Larson has a stepson, Matt Studer, and granddaughters, Sarah, 15, and Madeline, 14, both Upper Arlington High School students. “It’s wonderful for my family, my grandchildren,” Larson says of the honor. “I’m glad they did it while I’m still around” for his family to share the honor with him.

The Mission:
Restructure, remodel and restyle Haemmerle’s home to maximize natural light, functionality and space.
Terri Haemmerle knew she wanted to make changes to her home, but couldn’t quite put her finger on what she wanted to do with the space. After visiting a friend who recently remodeled with Abode Real Living, she knew she had to hire the interior design team of Eileen Schilling and Jennifer Valenzuela. “I was always rearranging because I didn’t know how to use the space,” Haemmerle says. “They gave me ideas and color schemes I never would have thought of. They listened to me and incorporated what I already had.” The 1950s home has been with the Haemmerles for 10 years and, after a decade, Haemmerle was tired of not making the most of what was already in her home. In six weeks, the team redesigned the front, living and dining rooms of the home, adding a cohesive color palette and functionality along the way.

Growing Goodwill
Garden cultivates learning for developmentally disabled Spring will be greener than ever this year at Goodwill Columbus. The 23 residents of the nonprofit’s local headquarters on Edgehill Road south of Fifth Avenue will, for the second year, be planting a garden in what used to be a gravel pit. The Sprouting Goodwill Garden, funded through a grant of more than $3,200 from the city of Columbus at the Columbus Foundation, had its first growing season last year. “The onsite residents have been wanting to do something like this for a very long time because they have a huge commitment to healthy eating,” says Goodwill Columbus Development Manager Leslie Turis, who wrote the grant. The residents, who are all developmentally disabled, worked with volunteers from Grace Central Presbyterian Church to build garden beds and plant and tend the garden starting last May. Located on the grounds of Goodwill

Columbus, the garden has two or three long beds and four or five smaller raised beds, as well as a vertical flower and herb garden. “They were very excited,” Turis says of the residents. “They definitely liked working with the volunteers and being able to get out there and do something hands-on and see the results of their efforts.” When the weather didn’t cooperate, the residents spent time indoors learning about gardening. “They bought a kit and incubated insects that would be helpful to the garden,” Turis says. “The staff … really made the most of that experience for the residents.” A wheelchair accessible ramp – plus the raised beds – makes the garden available to all residents, says Media Communications Manager Erica Charles. And the addition of a mural on
the side of the building, in conjunction with the garden, has brightened up the area considerably. “It’s kind of industrial over here still. We’re just doing whatever we can to make it more green and resident-centered,” Turis says. Both Turis and Charles say the garden has been a success.
www.trivillagemagazine.com
“It was really great. (Residents) were able to use a lot of the products from the garden to eat. They’d pick it, bring it up and wash it,” Charles says. Last year’s produce included strawberries and mint. At the end of the growing season, residents composted what had to be removed and began preparing for the next year’s crop. “It’s something they’re committed to doing every year,” Turis says. “We’re looking at extra space, or maybe containers,” for the coming year. Planting will likely begin in April, Turis says. “We’re really thankful for all the support from the city of Columbus and the volunteers,” she says. Lisa Aurand is editor of Tri-Village Magazine.

A Tasty Trip UA cooking classes feature world tour-inspired lessons
Cultural and historical lessons have put a twist on cooking classes in a new culinary series from Upper Arlington Parks and Recreation’s Lifelong Learning program. Attracting a fully booked class at the Upper Arlington Recreation Station Kitchen almost every time, the events are part of the A Taste of Travel series, created by Shawnie Kelley-Foy and Sherri Pickett, the duo that co-founded Wanderlust Tours. A recent cooking class in this series, Recipes from a French Farmhouse, featured food from Dijon, a city in eastern France. Despite the bitter cold weather that evening, the class had number of people on the waitlist. “Food is fundamental in every culture,” Kelley-Foy says. “It’s so specialized everywhere you go. To me, you’re really getting to the guts of the place.” Although Kelley-Foy typically likes to spotlight an appetizer, an entrée and a dessert for her smaller classes, she decided she would demonstrate two standalone entrées and a dessert for this class of 22 people. She prepared beef Bourguignon, a tartiflette (a bacon, potato and cheese casserole) and for dessert, pear clafoutis. Kelley-Foy encouraged her students to personalize their dishes with their preferred amount of wine. She also had no qualms mixing bacon and butter together in the same pan, as she said it would give the dishes a “velvety texture.” Deb Mosely, program coordinator of Upper Arlington’s Lifelong Learning program, thinks that the blend between travel and food in the classes is a natural pairing. “It provides an all-around, great immersive evening for people who will perhaps take a trip or not take a trip,” Mosely says. “People see the pairing of the food and there’s the enhancement of 28
having the slides in (Kelley-Foy’s) presentation. She’s so familiar with both the historical and travel aspect because she’s been to most of these places.” Wanderlust Tours leads groups of tourists on cultural, historical and culinary adventures throughout France, Italy, Great Britain and certain parts of the United States. Incorporating the aspects of these tours into the cooking classes came naturally for Kelley-Foy, who spent four years in England and Scotland conducting research on castles and valleys in the region. When she was asked to join the Lifelong Learning program, she decided to

RECIPE:
Tartiflette (Bacon, egg and cheese casserole) Courtesy of Shawnie Kelley-Foy Ingredients: • 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter • 8 oz. slab bacon, cut in to 1” strips about ½” thick • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced • ½ cup dry white wine • 2 ½ lbs. waxy potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste • 1 lb. reblochon cheese, sliced ¼” thick

integrate stories and the history of the cuisine’s geographical origin, providing her students a deeper understanding of the dishes they are cooking. “A Taste of Travel series has evolved out of everything we love to do – traveling, eating, cooking, culture and cuisine,” Kelley-Foy says. “That’s pretty much how we approach our tours. There’s a little bit of culture, a little bit of history, a little bit of architecture, a lot of food, some cooking classes and a little adventure if you want to cut loose.” With the help of Kelley-Foy’s extensive knowledge, each class delves into a different region to understand how dishes are made there. Classes usually last for two hours and participants have the opportunity to taste the dishes that are made during the session. Cooking classes instructed by KelleyFoy are conducted twice a month, but the A Taste of Travel series only has two to three classes per quarter. A Taste of Travel: The Garden of France is scheduled for 6:30-9:30 p.m. April 10. The cost is $40 for residents or $48 for nonresidents.

Instructions: Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an oval 2 ½-qt. casserole dish with 2 Tbsp. butter. Heat remaining butter and bacon in a 12” skillet over medium heat. Cook until bacon is slightly crisp, 10-12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Add onion to skillet; cook until slightly caramelized, 7-9 minutes. Add wine; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook until reduced by half, 2-3 minutes. Stir in potatoes, salt and pepper; cook until just tender, 8-10 minutes. Spread half the potato mixture evenly in prepared dish; top with half each the reserved bacon and the cheese. Repeat with remaining potato mixture, bacon and cheese; bake until top is browned and filling is bubbling, about 25 minutes.
