UPPER ARLINGTONNews & Information from Upper Arlington

insideLost to HistoryStone is all that remains from 1821 homeBy Lisa Aurand

Upper Arlington briefly laid claim to one of the oldest stone houses in Franklin County.

Though the Upper Arlington Historical Society was unable to save the 192-year-old house from demolition, it was able to take extensive photos of the property at 5292 Riverside Dr., known as the Hutchinson House, before the building was razed in November.

“We found out Nov. 1 and it was scheduled to be torn down on Nov. 8,” says Kate Kallmes, executive director of the historical society.

Working with the developer, Preferred Living, LLC, and the city of Upper Arling-ton, the society was able to delay the demolition until Nov. 20 – long enough to document it in photos and arrange for some of the stone to be saved.

“We basically did everything we could, and a lot of people offered mon-ey (to help us move it), but we didn’t have time to collect enough. It would have taken quite a bit,” Kallmes says.

The home was built starting in 1821 by Amaziah Hutchinson, a Revolutionary War veteran who moved to central Ohio in 1813 with his family from Milton, N.Y. by way of Marietta, Ohio. They moved to Perry Township in 1815 and Hutchin-son was elected Justice of the Peace that same year. The home remained in the family after his death in 1823 until 1886, when his daughter-in-law, Mary Ebey Hutchinson, died.

“In 1889, the property passed into the hands of Ele. Woodbridge Tuller, a Dub-lin merchant and brother-in-law of James T. Miller, owner of the farm that was purchased by the Thompson brothers to build what later became the historic

district of Upper Arlington,” according to information from the historical society.

The property didn’t become part of Upper Arlington until recently, when it was annexed into the city as part of the Preferred Living project, Kallmes says.

The city sent a truck to retrieve some of the stone after the house was demol-ished, and the historical society is work-ing on a plan to use it in a local park.

“From a preservationist point of view, buildings aren’t made like that anymore – with foot-thick stone walls,” Kallmes says. “This was a gem. This was unusual.”

The society is starting an inventory of local historic structures and welcomes tips about historic homes in UA. Those who know of historic buildings are en-couraged to contact the society at 614-470-2610 or [email protected].

Marble Cliff has many distinctive homes, and that is what drew a study group of the Victorian Society in America to the Village Nov. 3.

As part of a four-day study tour of central Ohio, 30 visitors from all over the U.S. came to Marble Cliff during a day of learning about noted Columbus architect Frank Packard. He and his firm, Packard & Yost Architects, designed more than 100 buildings in central Ohio around the turn of the century, including the Atlas Building and the Great Southern Hotel in downtown Columbus as well as many homes, 10 of which are in Marble Cliff.

Led by Wayne Carlson of the Grandview Heights/Marble Cliff Historical Society, the tour took guests to admire several Packard homes along Roxbury Road before they went on an owners-led tour of 1492 Roxbury Rd., a Packard-designed home and current residence of Kent and Susan Studebaker. The group also visited the “Spanish hacienda” house at 1091 Lin-coln Rd. in Grandview Heights.

“I think our guests were impressed by the diversity and quality of Mr. Packard’s work,” says Barbara Powers, department head of inventory and registration for the Ohio Historical Society, Frank Packard expert and the Sunday tour leader.

“Most of our guests had not heard of Frank Packard and were unaware of central Ohio’s Victorian-era landmarks, architecture and preservation efforts.”

Kevin Rose of the Turner Foundation in Springfield and tour weekend coordinator says, “It was great to have a national organization see the architectural ‘gems’ we have in our large and small Ohio towns. To view our communities through the eyes of visitors is rejuvenating.”

News & Information from Upper Arlington

MARBLE CLIFFNews & Information from the Village of Marble Cliff

insideTHE VILLAGE OF

Marble Cliff and Its Homes

The home at 1964 Cardigan Ave. has been occupied by the same family for more than 100 years.

A Century of Family MemoriesIn addition to having architecturally significant homes, Marble Cliff has many homes

more than 100 years old. But few have been occupied by the same family for those 100 plus years. When Charlotte Wilkinson had to move the family home from near The Ohio State University campus, she chose a lot at 1964 Cardigan Ave. in the then-rural village of Marble Cliff. Construction started in March 1913, about a month after the same builder commenced construction of a home at 1970 Cardigan Ave. Despite looking very differ-ent, both houses share some features such as beamed ceilings, French doors and hard-wood floors. The Wilkinson home featured fireplaces in each room, a wooden coffered ceiling in the dining room, as well as indoor plumbing and electricity.

Wilkinson’s daughter, Emily, lived in the home for 70 years with her husband, Chester Moelchert. Their daughter, Charlotte (Tyler), was delivered in the home by Dr. Ander-son, who lived nearby at the corner of Cardigan and Arlington avenues. The Moelcherts gardened extensively over the years and entertained many friends on the screened front porch. In 1981, their granddaughter, Gail, and her husband, Bill Johannes, bought the house and have maintained its traditional appearance but for a family room addition. Al-though the Johannes’ daughter, Emily, now lives in Maryland, Bill and Gail hope that when the day comes, she will keep 1964 Cardigan Ave. in the family.

“It holds many, many happy memories,” the couple says.

This rendering from the builder depicted what the home at 1964 Cardigan Ave. would look like after it was finished.

1492 Roxbury Rd. was designed by Frank Packard.

In any given week, Coleman sees about 1,000 people come through the weight room during or after school hours. But these aren’t just athletes in-volved with one of the 32 varsity and club sports UA offers; they are every-day students, staff members and alumni as well.

“Anyone involved at the school can come here and train,” Coleman says. “We get kids who aren’t on teams, but want to work out. Marching band stu-dents want to get in shape for their ac-tivities, so we come up with their plans, and they become some of the hardest- working ones in here.”

Coleman wants to inspire motivation in each person he works with. His com-petitive nature is a key to his success.

“My goal is to make the best, most positive impact on these kids’ lives that I can,” he says. “Some people view physical education teachers as a sort of joke, and I want to change that. I want to be the hardest-working teacher in the school. I want to help them learn and accomplish what they can’t in regular classes.”

Coleman’s tough demeanor and strict workout regimens are accompanied by his friendly smile, an open door and the ability to mesh with many personalities. He seeks out students who may not fit in and helps them find their way through lifting weights.

“We’ve seen kids in here undergo massive change, mentally and physi-cally,” he says. “Maybe we get a kid who doesn’t fit in with everyone else; I facilitate the environment with them. I’ll ask the senior captain to work with him and they will bond. They’ll work out to-gether and awesome things happen. It’s a spark they take with them for the rest of their lives.”

He, personally, bonds with these stu-dents because they remind him of who he was when he was in school.

At age 12, Coleman, a Cuyahoga Falls native, had his darkest hour – the moment in time when he knew he was going to change for the better.

“One day, I was being bullied and made fun of by kids at my school,” he says. “I was so frustrated and mad that I rode my bike home and dusted the cobwebs from my grandpa’s old weight bench. I went down and lifted all night long, until I couldn’t move the bar off my chest anymore. It lit a fire inside of me.”

His quest for physical change started with the basic desire to have a normal high school experience.

“Initially, I just wanted to be liked, and I didn’t want to be picked on,” Coleman says. “I wanted to fit in and have a girl-friend. I kept going and my body began to change. Within a year, I turned myself into a guy who had a chance on the foot-ball team.”

Coleman doesn’t see any bullying in his weight room; he would be the first to

notice it, he says. When stu-dents are working out, they don’t have the opportunity to make fun of the person next to them.

“Much of what we do here is team-based and structured,” he says. “I take them through their workouts, from the first step to the last. I’m on them constantly with feedback, coaching them throughout. There’s no free-dom for non-productive talk during their time in here. They don’t have a chance to pick on each other because they need all their strength to do that one more set.”

This positive teaching envi-ronment not only deters bully-ing, it inspires lifelong friend-ships and bonds between teammates, trainers and strangers.

“I will keep in contact with him after I graduate because of the impact he has made on my life,” says senior Elliot Tim-

mons. “He taught me how to overcome adversity and how to fight through the hard times, even when you’re tired.”

Coleman is engaged and does not have children, but looks at each of his

students as a sort of supplemental family until he is ready.

“I can’t wait to have a family and I can’t wait to have kids,” he says. “Noth-ing, at this point in my life, is more im-portant to me than starting a family. I look at the kids and the people I work with as part of my family.”

Coleman came to Upper Arlington High School Dec. 2, 2007 and has been defensive line coach for the foot-ball team for the past two years. He saw the job opening and welcomed a new challenge in his life.

Previously, he headed the weightlifting classes at Nordonia Hills City Schools. It started with one class a semester his first year and became his full-time posi-tion after 10 years. He has also worked with youth sports programs and an in-school suspension program for Akron City Schools.

Coleman graduated from Syracuse University, where he lettered three years on the football team and was a starting defensive tackle for two years. Instead of furthering his career in football, he decided to take a step back and began working with younger athletes.

“I was tired of sports at a professional level and I wanted to go to the level where the pure love of the game is still there,” Coleman says.

When he isn’t in the weight room, he spends time trying out the many res-taurants in central Ohio and taking in movies. He’s an avid concertgoer and his 1980s rock anthem Pandora station fuels the fire and motivation for himself and his students.

Each day, Coleman continues to push athletes through workouts and assists the marginalized students with having a great high school experience.

“Ultimately, I’m building a team to-gether,” he says. “The sacrifices in here make them a stronger person out there. These kids will become the leaders I know they can be.”

WHEN TISH DENLINGEr and her friend Rebecca spotted Habeeba’s Dance of the Arts, a bellydancing school in the Tri-Village area, they made plans to attend classes together.

“We thought it would be something fun to do to get exercise. It did kind of motivate us to go – having an excuse to hang out and exercise at the same time,” Denlinger says.

That was seven years ago, and Den-linger is still attending classes at Habee-ba’s on King Avenue.

“I just kind of fell in love with it. It’s so fun and it made the time go by fast,” she says.

Having a friend to go with was what got her in the door, and companionship with the other class members – in addi-tion to the physical results – kept Den-linger coming back long after Rebecca’s

schedule changed, preventing her from attending on a regular basis.

“Since then I’ve been making lots of friends at the studio,” Denlinger says. “The girls in my class, most of us have been together for almost the entire time.”

And Denlinger isn’t the only one. Members of workout groups throughout Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff find that they’re much more likely to attend class or exercise in-

dependently when they’re doing it with a friend or group of friends.

John Evans, proprietor of the Ohio Taproom on West Third Avenue, orga-nizes a running club that meets every Fri-day night at his growler shop and takes a 3- to 6-mile route through Grandview.

“I thought it would be a nice way to incorporate our love of craft beer and running into one event,” says Evans. “We’ve had as few as five (people) and as many as 17.”

Afterward, runners stop into the Tap-room for beer samples, and some pick up growlers to take home.

“It’s really a way for us to bring peo-ple together – people who enjoy run-

ning and people who enjoy craft beer,” says Evans, who is also a member of an informal running group in Grand-view, “affectionately known as the Fat Men Running Club.”

The Taproom sponsors runners for vari-ous local 5Ks, 10Ks and other races, in-cluding the Capital City Half Marathon.

‘“The camaraderie of experiencing a healthy activity like that with someone else is a huge thing,” says Evans. “Peo-ple tend to go a bit farther and some-times quicker than they would if they were on their own.”

Andrew Feast, a friend of Evans who joins in for runs almost every Friday night, agrees.

“The time and the distance melt away when you’re with other people and talk-ing and joking and laughing,” Feast says. “It really must makes those miles go a lot quicker.”

At Habeeba’s, open dance nights offer the opportunity for dancers to cheer each other on and support each other, says Melissa Caldwell, a student-turned-instructor.

“The interesting thing is to see how people start talking to each other,” Caldwell says. You see these relation-ships developing and you see them en-courage each other, which is a great thing to see.”

Scientific studies support the com-monly held belief that working out in groups is beneficial. Not only does group exercise assist with accountabil-ity, it can provide physical benefits, too. That feel-good feeling you get af-ter exercising with others could be at-tributed to endorphins, long suspected to play a major role in the euphoric “runner’s high” experienced after stren-uous workouts.

A 2009 study of Oxford University crew team members found that rowers experienced much higher pain toler-ance – indicating higher endorphin lev-els – when they trained together com-pared to when they trained alone.

Though scientists don’t understand all the effects endorphins have on our bodies, various studies have associated the neurotransmitters with a host of ben-eficial effects, including positive mood, boosted immune system, increased in-sulin sensitivity and lowered blood pres-sure. So it’s possible that training togeth-er could amplify these positive physical effects as well.

Of course, you’re bound to notice physical benefits if working out with a partner helps you exercise regularly. Ac-countability is one of the strong points of Jazzercise Upper Arlington, says Su-sie Nippert, who has been attending classes there for about seven years.

“I’ve developed many friendships there. I know that it’s helped my friend who has asked me to check on her and give her a call to say, ‘Hey, I haven’t seen you in awhile,’” Nippert says.

Nippert herself started going to Jazzercise with a friend two to three times a week and now attends almost every night.

“I’d feel guilty if I’d miss a day,” she says. “I’m doing nothing but good for my body. I noticed I’ve gone down a pants size. I’m not one to buy jeans all the time, but I was just in (the store) with my daughter and I’m down a jeans size, so that’s real encouraging.”

The UA Jazzercise location holds an attendance contest a few times a year, rewarding those who attend a certain number of times per month with a prize.

“If you’re anywhere near being com-petitive, those little attendance contests help a lot,” Nippert says.

Joni Teetor and her sister, Nancy Pow-ell, are also avid Jazzercise fans.

“We do it every together every morn-ing at 8:10, and honest to gosh, hav-ing someone who does it with you really does help,” Teetor says. “Either she texts me in the morning or I text her. … It pro-pels us both there.”

Teetor says the high-energy communi-ty environment at Jazzercise is another big draw.

“Walking is free, but it’s not that much fun for me,” she says. “The staff that check you in make you feel like (they’re) so glad you’re here, even if you’re late. The atmosphere of the facility creates a good feeling about exercise and want-ing to be a part of it.”

And Teetor, mother to three sons now in their 20s, has a new perspective now that she’s exercised regularly for a year.

“It was like I didn’t give myself permis-sion to take time for myself. Even when (the kids) were in college, I kept saying I was too busy to do it, and now I find that I can incorporate it into the busyness.”

GrAvITy, SPEED and direction: These forces studied in physics class all have an effect on the human body, especially during exercise.

Jerry Greenspan, owner of Colum-bus Fitness Consultants in Upper Ar-lington, has master’s degrees in bio-mechanical engineering and human nutrition from The Ohio State Univer-sity, and he uses that knowledge to offer a blended approach to rehab at his business, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

“We’re into medical fitness; we can cater to circumstances that many other fitness centers cannot,” he says. “We use muscle activation techniques and laser therapy for pain relief. Our future trainers first undergo massive training.”

But before a trainer is even hired, he or she must meet strenuous criteria.

“We only hire people who have, at least, their degree in exercise science,” says Margaret Lipp, personal training manager at Columbus Fitness Consul-tants. “We consider certifications, but if they come in with those only, we won’t interview them. The knowledge you get from a four-year degree compared to a six-month or 12-month certification … it just isn’t even comparable.”

Each future trainer takes part in a two-week internship to learn proper mechanics for each individual exercise and to correct any improper training from his or her past.

“They also go through an 18-week exercise internship with me, where they learn about the forces on the body,” Greenspan says. “They have to pass an oral and written exam after that is up … We want them to be perfect be-fore they start helping our clients.”

This dedication to the craft is what made the company successful, Greenspan says. Trainers understand the body and the equipment that can help or hurt it. Greenspan’s Exercise Equipment Experts is Columbus Fit-ness Consultants’ sister company.

“Some people walk in and expect to buy a treadmill,” Lipp says. “They don’t expect us to look deeper. If someone says they’ve recently had a knee replacement, we’ll offer them something that’s better for their body. When a customer walks in and gets that sort of experience, it’s impactful.”

Greenspan started out selling equipment and personal training out of his home before moving the com-pany to UA in 2001. CFC has since expanded to a location in the Polaris area as well.

“We started humbly, and we remain humble,” Greenspan says. “We built this from the ground up and the good trainers are what make it continue to grow.”

Injury prevention is one of the keys to keeping a healthy body. If an injury oc-curs, it can result in a painful snowball effect, declining health and high medical bills.

“Some people don’t understand how complex fitness is,” he says. “If you go through graduate school for engineering to learn about the body, that should tell peo-ple about the level of difficulty. The same science we use to analyze rocket ships is the same science we use to analyze the body,” Greenspan says.

Seeing clients achieving their ideal bod-ies and learning along the way is the ulti-mate reward for Greenspan.

“I love seeing people lose weight, leave here pain-free and intelligently reach their goals,” he says. “They can maintain their bodies for the rest of their lives.”

WHEN rENEE AND TODD Pfeil moved into their Upper Arlington home two and half years ago, they knew it wasn’t fulfilling its potential.

They contacted Charlie Griffey, owner of Griffey Remodeling, and decided a two-story addition and remodel of their home was in order.

First on their to-do list was to change up the original full bath and add a mas-ter bathroom. Prior to the renovations, the Pfeils had only one full bath, which they shared with their son, Sebastian.

Griffey moved the features of the smaller bathroom around to add depth and privacy.

“When you walked up the stairs, you used to come straight into the bathroom,” Renee says. “You could literally see the toilet from the front door. It was terrible.”

This modification made room for a new master bathroom, which the family says is the most functional of all the changes.

Entering the bathroom, there is a curved vanity with furniture feet on the bottom. On each side, before reach-ing dual sinks, there are individual clos-ets – one for Renee and one for Todd. Each has built-in shoe racks and shelves. After these,

on the right, is a glass shower, complete with a marble seat.

“We cut a slot in the bath-room counter top where it connects to the shower,” Griffey says. “There’s coun-ter space inside the shower. It’s an added place to set razors or any other bath-room supplies.”

Above the symmetrical bathroom is a vaulted ceiling with wooden beams – an idea Griffey conceived while bumping the walls and ceiling out for added space. This may have been the most difficult as-pect of the entire project, Griffey says.

“We had to reframe it and add a new header,”

he says. “It’s an everyday thing we do, but it’s the most challenging.”

Next on the list was to create a home office for Todd. The space, originally a four seasons room, lacked aesthetics, functionality and, most of all, security.

“That sunroom was a fishbowl, and we never went in it,” Todd says. “We could lock it up from the inside, but not from the outside. The office was my only personal request. I’m in sales, so I can work from home, and I’ve always want-ed an office.”

A Change of Place

The office transformation resulted in a change to the exterior of the home. Griffey added stone siding to the back of the house to match the front.

“This was all Charlie’s vision and it’s become one of our favorite changes,” Renee says. “The back was so ugly be-fore, but now we like our little porch.”

Griffey added a back entrance to the home, so the family can walk from the detached garage straight into the house. He also added more space for a laundry room, successfully bringing the washer and dryer up from the basement.

The renovations took a total of five months and brought about some chal-lenges for the family.

“We had to renovate in shifts,” Griffey says. “There was only one bath, and they lived here during the project. We built them a miniature shower in the base-ment. It was a little inconvenient, but we did the best we could to accommodate them throughout.”

“For a while, we had to shower in the basement, stop at the kitchen sink to wash our faces and brush our teeth, then come upstairs to do hair and makeup,”

The home originally had only one bathroom. Remodeling it made room for a new master bathroom, complete with a glass

walk-in shower and his-and-her sinks. Before

Renee says. “I thought it was going to be bad, but it wasn’t.”

The Pfeil family considered completing their kitchen project along with the rest of their home, but the process would have been too difficult to manage all at once. However, they plan to get their kitchen fin-ished soon, with Griffey as their partner.

“The kitchen layout is very similar to one we’ve already done,” Griffey says. “We want to open the space up and add an island. We want to update it and make it match the rest of the home.”

To complete this round of updates, Todd installed a flat-screen TV in the living room above the new mantle and fireplace.

Griffey’s changes to the home have added not only aesthetics, but also functionality.

“The day-to-day is so much bet-ter,” Renee says. “Now we use every square inch of the house. It’s a world of difference.”

IT’S A NEW yEAr, so maybe it’s time to clean out your pantry and refrigerator. Whether you have a new diagnosis that means gluten-free meals are your new norm or you just want to shed a few pounds, you don’t have to go far for assistance.

In-house experts at Tri-Village area grocery stores – including Giant Eagle Market District and Whole Foods – have your back when it comes to food-related challenges.

In-store nutrition specialists offer shoppers guidance

Giant eagle Market District – Kingsdale

Registered dietician Paula Monaco works full-time at the Kingsdale Mar-ket District, leading classes, assisting a chef in the demonstration kitchen and helping customers.

“Twice a week, you can usually find me in the demo kitchen paired with a chef kind of doing recipe sampling,” says Monaco, describing a pomegran-ate hummus she and the chef worked on during a recent demonstration.

Monaco also leads free in-aisle excur-sions and store tours on a variety of top-ics such as heart health, diabetes and weight loss. Tour schedules are posted at www.marketdistrict.com and those inter-ested can sign up to participate.

“We meet in front of the store we shop the departments and select foods that (fit) with whatever we’re … talking about,” Monaco says.

Monaco, who earned her dietetics de-gree from Bowling Green State Univer-sity, says she enjoys educating the most. The store offers group classes and one-on-one nutrition counseling, both on a fee basis. Among the groups are a 10-week weight loss class (the next one begins mid-January), a general nutrition course and a six-week diabetes survival series.

“The weight loss and the diabetes are my favorite, because it’s a kind of support group, especially the diabetes class,” Monaco says. “They might feel alone, so if I can get a group of five to 10 people together and educate them about diabetes, they also form these friendships. It’s the same with the weight loss class as well.”

Each week of the weight loss class covers a different subject and features a hands-on activity. Some included topics are portion control, dining out and menu reading, and meal planning – though Monaco shies away from providing full weekly meal plans.

“I feel that if you just give a person (a plan for) seven days and say, ‘This is what you’re supposed to be eating,’ they’ll stick to it for seven days and then they’re not going to know where to go from there, so we work more long term,” she says.

When she’s not at a scheduled one-on-one session or teaching a class, Mo-

naco is frequently stationed at a kiosk near the pharmacy.

“You’d be shocked at the number of people who just come up to me with ran-dom nutrition questions that they’ve been dying to ask someone, and they’re totally stoked to see a dietician to get their an-swers,” she says.

Whole Foods Upper ArlingtonErin Ford, Whole Foods UA’s healthy

eating specialist, used to be an animal trainer, but she was spending so much time helping friends and relatives shop and eat more healthfully that she decided she might as well get paid for it, she says, half joking.

Ford, who has a certificate in health coaching from the Institute for Integrated Nutrition, spends the majority of her time assisting customers who come in with doctors’ orders for new diets. Common diagnoses requiring diet changes are diabetes and Crohn’s disease, an inflam-matory bowel disease.

“They may have just gotten diag-nosed with something and their doctors give them an idea of what they should be eating or what they shouldn’t be eat-ing, so we help them kind of figure out what those things are,” Ford says, em-phasizing that she never gives medical advice. “We provide them with recipes and we have classes as well to help them do some easy, healthful cooking. The bulk of it (is) just pointing them in

the right direction so they can have some sort of guideline.”

Typically, Ford starts by taking people to the produce section.

“One of the biggest things I like to tell people is try to incorporate greens into every meal,” she says. “If you just try to incorporate greens into breakfast, lunch and dinner, then you’re already increas-ing your nutritional intake.”

Sometimes, even giving them one reci-pe is enough to get her clients started and keep them from feeling overwhelmed by a change in diet, Ford says. For example, during the holidays, she demonstrated how to make a sweet potato pie by using soaked chia seeds instead of eggs and adding blended cashews for creaminess.

“You’ve already bulked up the nutri-tional density. With those chia seeds, you have omega-3s and you have more fiber. The cashews are going to be a healthy fat as opposed to adding in but-ter,” Ford says. “It was more like a cus-tard. It was delicious.”

Ford and Whole Foods also offer 28-day challenges that meet once a week for four weeks, including one based on the Engine 2 Diet, a vegan eating plan. Some of the classes charge a nominal fee – the Engine 2 Diet challenge has a fee that includes the cost of a copy of the book – but many are free.
