A Change in the SeasonUpper Arlington High School presents Winter Follies: A Winter Wonderland

Among the many wonderful productions created by Upper Arlington High School performing arts students, the Follies show stands out.

The Follies was originally created to be a one-time fundraiser to help pay for the UA Symphonic Choir’s bi-annual performance trip to New York City. It was so successful that the vocal music department’s season was expanded to encompass not just a major production and musical, but also an annual Fall Follies production.

This year, for only the second time since the program’s creation in 2003, the production will not be performed in the fall. The move to a new season comes with a new name – Winter Follies: A Winter Wonderland.

The decision to move the Follies to winter was made by the UAHS Choral/Musical Theater Director Eric Kauffman.

“We chose the theme of Winter Wonderland this year because of all the great secular and sacred literature associated with not only the holiday season, but also the season of winter,” says Kauffman.

This year’s production will feature a mix of classic traditional choral literature and secular music presented in a

variety of styles, including jazz, gospel and barbershop. Proceeds from ticket sales will go toward the symphonic

choir’s spring tour to the East Coast. Winter Follies: A Winter Wonderland will be performed

through the weekend starting Friday, Dec. 5 at the Upper Arlington High School Auditorium. The production begins at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 5 and 2:30 p.m. Dec. 6 and 7.

Marble Cliff has been the home to many fine businesses over the years, and one of the businesses to locate in the small Village the longest is Instantwhip Foods.

Instantwhip was founded in 1934 when Professor G. Frederick Smith and his brothers, Allyne H. and Clarence, introduced aerosol whipped cream in reusable canis-ters to the world.

“This incredible convenience turned Instantwhip into a well-recognized name in ice cream parlors, soda fountains and restau-rants across the country,” says G. Frederick “Fred” Smith, grandson of Professor Smith and a worker at of Instantwhip since 1993 – the last nine years as president of the company. “To get whipped cream from a metal container was a ‘wonder.’ Users no longer had to beat cream. They just pushed a button!”

Originally located in Columbus on McKinley Avenue, where flooding was always possible, – those were the days before the Franklinton flood wall – Instantwhip moved its offices to a larger building at 2200 Cardigan Ave. in 1986.

“Marble Cliff was near our old location and not in a flood-plain,” says Tom Michaelides, senior vice president, whose father had worked at the McKinley Avenue plant. “Although this is a large building, no manufacturing has ever taken place here. It’s always been an administrative office.”

For years, the primary business of the privately held compa-ny was the manufacture and distribution of stainless steel con-tainers filled with whipped cream. Smith remembers “They’d put cream in metal cans and deliver them to customers. Then they’d pick up the cans and bring them back to the plant for cleaning, refilling and delivery again.

“But to expand our business into other food products, the company decided to go the franchise route,” Smith says. “We now have Instantwhip Foods franchisees in 10 states that man-ufacture and distribute far more than whipped cream to the

food service industry. Our prod-ucts are well-known in the food industry, although not the general public, since retail is not gener-ally the market for our products. Instantwhip is one of the largest coffee-creamer manufacturers in the country. Other quality Instant-whip products include dairy-fresh half and half, cup yogurt, frozen yogurt, sour cream substitutes, ta-ble syrup, soft serve custard dairy mix and frozen dessert mix.

“Our Marble Cliff office is where 16 outstanding employees provide accounting, tax, informa-tion technology, legal and human resource support and services to our franchisees. Staff longevity av-erages more than 15 years,” says Smith, citing Michaelides, Bob-bie Dildine, Amy Millar, Sandy Hyde and Smith’s brother, Doug,

for their long-term service and contributions to the company’s success. “Their knowledge and experience really helps us pro-vide outstanding service despite all the challenges associated with historically high dairy prices and the current regulatory environment. Even cities are getting involved in regulating our industry, making compliance even more complex.”

When asked about the company’s future goals, Smith indicat-ed Instantwhip is always looking for the right acquisitions to grow in food manufacturing, especially along new product lines.

“We’re a food business and are always looking for new directions within the food business,” he says. “Working with such fantastic people and planning for our future keeps me coming to work. We’re a small company that works well with other small companies, like family-operated restaurants, because we are very much alike. I’m proud of our people and franchisees.”

Marble Cliff is proud to have Instantwhip Foods in the com-munity and looks forward to being the home of this fine com-pany for many years to come.

Just RowWith It

B lake Haxton continues to look optimistically toward the future, just as he has since a rare dis-

ease nearly ended his life. Well-educated, well-spoken and obvi-

ously in excellent physical condition, the 23-year-old shows no sign of anguish, sorrow or self-pity as he talks about being wheelchair-bound in a world of athletics, academics and a large, tight circle of support by family and friends.

Now in his second year in the Moritz Col-lege of Law at The Ohio State University, Haxton is fresh off success after his first time competing in three top-level rowing contests.

While he was a top-ranked senior member of his Upper Arlington High School crew team, Haxton was stricken, unexpectedly, by necrotizing fasciitis, a virtually incurable disease that suddenly and rapidly destroys flesh and muscles. The source never was determined.

As he neared death, doctors amputat-ed both legs at or near the hip to save his life, leaving the athlete at half his height and relegated to a wheelchair.

Despite this catastrophic life change, Haxton didn’t miss a beat. He gradu-ated in 2009 within two months of be-ing afflicted and, that fall, started his four-year OSU undergraduate career, majoring in finance. He became a vol-unteer coach for the UA high school

team, shouting to rowers from an ac-companying motorboat.

Haxton eventually started working out using a rowing machine because, he says “after 18 months, I was all beat to snot.”

Earlier this year, he reached the point where he could compete in a national rowing machine contest. Competitors’ machines are connected to computers that measure their time and distance to track the race. During the race, places are tracked on a large screen.

“As luck would have it, I won,” Hax-ton says.

Coaches saw his markers and sug-gested he compete in boats and enter a national arm and shoulder competition at Mercer Lake in New Jersey. With Pat Kington, longtime friend and former assis-tant rowing coach at UA, as his training coach, he acquired one of the specially equipped boats. The boat didn’t arrive until two days before the meet, but he managed to fit in 12 practices, mostly in a borrowed boat.

“I went into the whole thing blind,” he says. “Right from the start, I almost dumped it. I came off in last place be-fore I got over nervousness after 10 to 15 strokes.”

As a newcomer, and a virtual un-known, he was coached by his former high school mentor Chris Swartz and won the national championship. This meant winning back an entry fee.

“There was some skin in the game,” he says.

His winnings also included an expenses-paid trip to the international meet in late August in Amsterdam – a two-week trek that was his first overseas trip. The U.S. Olympic Committee kicked in some to cover expenses.

The meet, one of many involving hun-dreds who competed in various water sports during the week, consisted of 1,000-meter heats until the final field was narrowed to six. In the final, Blake was tied for second for about half the dis-tance but was overtaken by older, more experienced rowers. An Australian won, and second went to Great Britain.

“Third was a Russian,” Haxton says. “That kind of hurt.”

A small entourage had arrived to watch, including parents Steve and Heather; coach Swartz and his wife, Sally; long-time buddy Stephen Barthelmas and two female friends from college, Katie Coons

and Julie Dick. Haxton was encouraged to see that they made the surprise trip.

Haxton arrives at a sports bar-restaurant in his specially equipped van for an after-noon interview about his life. He ignores a handicapped parking spot, parks 50 yards away, quickly and easily lifts him-self from the driver’s seat to his wheelchair, rolls down the ramp he has opened, and extends a friendly hello. He discusses his life glowingly and optimistically.

The inspiring and personable Haxton will graduate, again, in 2015 and be ready to practice law – perhaps real es-tate or tax law. But first, there are equally important goals.

He works out two hours a day on a rowing machine, sometimes with weights. While it’s much-needed exercise he doesn’t get otherwise, Haxton says, “My goal is to make the (para) Olympic team in 2016.”

To accomplish his goal, he has to win the arm and shoulder races in the nation-al competition this year and next.

“Second does you no good – it’s all or nothing,” he says, explaining that only winners in the nationals in several classes of races make the Olympic team.

“The older you get, the bet-ter you get,” Haxton says. “I was four years younger than all the others in this year’s national competition. I got a taste of it. I can see myself do-ing this for a long time.”

He can practice when he wants, while he’s in school, without having to travel to practices with a team. He ex-pects to graduate before the Olympics.

He spends time with his host of friends. After his afflic-tion, Haxton says, he didn’t experience depression or re-quire counseling.

“I had a hundred counsel-ors,” he says, not the least of whom was his older brother, Anderson, a law student at Wake Forest University.

They both chose the profes-sion independently. Haxton says he decided in middle school. Their father, Steve, a CPA who went into sales instead, urged learning a skill regardless of their chosen avocation.

Their mother, Heather, a teacher, stressed reading.

“I loved reading,” Haxton says. “I still do.” Their father also stressed the impor-

tance of proper greetings and conversa-tions. This, and hearing speakers – good and bad – in church services, helped him develop flawless diction.

He tells lighthearted anecdotal stories about his experiences with friends. After the illness, he thought, “I don’t know how to (date). I (only) know how to be 18 and 6’3.”

Experience taught him what to expect. “It goes from ‘the guy with no legs,’ to

‘the guy in the wheelchair,’ to ‘that’s just Blake,’” he says, likely because of his dis-armingly straightforward, easy approach to those he meets.

Haxton describes his survival as both “lucky” and he keeps the positive men-tal attitude with which he was born and raised. He says he has deep faith, which he feels helped him cope.

And now, he’s healthy and takes no medication.

“I don’t have a single, ongoing medi-cal concern,” he says. “I’m in above-average health.”

A typical workout for Haxton lasts two hours with a combination of weight training and rowing.

There is a special event that occurs each year, around the holidays, that

brings joy, happiness and warmth to people’s hearts: the Christmas

Community Care Boxes from Boulevard Presbyterian Church.

“This is, by far, our largest un-dertaking,” says Eric Engdahl, member of the church. “This mission has continued to grow from its beginning in 1992, when the church supplied 20 boxes to needy families, until now, when we provide food and gifts for close to 400 fami-lies and more than 900 chil-dren in recent years.”

And while the church has a huge stake in the matter, it is not the only group involved in this project.

“It is not a project that we can ac-complish on our own; we are merely the overall organizers,” Engdahl says. “This truly is a community effort, with St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Northwest Christian Church, Tri-Village Sertoma, Tri-Village Lions, Northwest Kiwanis, students from Grandview Heights City schools, Cub and Boy Scout Troops, Members First Credit Union, Boulevard Preschool and members of the Grandview/Upper Ar-lington/Marble Cliff community, joining together to share the love at Christmas.”

This community effort has grown by leaps and bounds throughout the years and has made substantial progress.

“Families who receive the Christmas packages are referred to Boulevard by several different organizations that we work with throughout the year,” Eng-dahl says. “The families are contacted to make sure they would like to receive a box, check the number and ages of their children and verify their address for delivery.”

The boxes have a variety of items includ-ed, enough to please all of Santa’s kids and families, whether they are naughty or nice.

“Each child, from birth to age 17, receives a wrapped gift,” Engdahl says. “The care boxes consist of non-perishable food items, including peanut butter, cereal, tuna, canned soup, fruit, vegetables, bags of potatoes, pasta, spaghetti sauce, bread, homemade cookies and a gift card to enable the families to purchase perishable items, such as milk, eggs, and meat.”

The path to presents is unique and de-tailed, as the church prides itself on the its methodical approach towards the gifts.

“During the months of November and December, tangible donations of food and presents, as well as monetary contributions, arrive at our church,” Engdahl says. “Food donations go downstairs to Fellowship Hall, where they are arranged by type of item and inventoried as we go along, allowing us to make sure we have enough of ev-erything. Any food items that we are short of are purchased during the final week before delivery. Toys go upstairs to our resource room, where they are sorted into age groups.”

And as Christmas comes upon the chil-dren, the church prepares its undertaking.

“Friday night of the deliv-ery weekend, cardboard boxes are assembled, la-beled and stacked for filling Saturday morning,” Engda-hl says. “Shopping lists in-dicating quantities of each food item are inserted into the boxes prior to stacking so that the volunteers who fill them on Saturday know how many cans of soup or jars of peanut butter, etc. are to be packed in each. Homemade cookies are plated for inclu-sion in the boxes this night, too.”

The size of the family dictates how many of each food item will get packed into the box. Family sizes range from two to 17.

Engdahl praises the volunteers for their ability, dedication and organiza-tional skills.

“It is truly amazing to watch as this group of people, ranging in age from very young children to those in their 80s, all work together to fill and distribute close to 400 boxes in about two hours,” he says. “It gives us a little glimpse of

what God’s kingdom is like, with people working joyously together to help those who are in need of care.”

At the end of the day, after the crew has distributed the boxes and presents, any extra donations will still be used to help someone in need.

“Any leftover food is taken to the food pantries we work with and leftover toys are stored away for next year,” Engdahl says. “And that’s when we are done … until next year.”

In the summer of 1999, then-Upper Arlington City

Manager Rich King approached the Publishing Group Ltd. about produc-ing a community magazine the city could call its own. After several dis-cussions, ground rules were drawn and the UA City Council approved a publication agreement.

The magazine hit mailboxes of UA resi-dents that November – 15 years ago.

The cover of the pioneer issue fittingly sported the image of an Upper Arling-ton settler on the farm of John and James McCoy. The inside pages included a look at the history of the area, a feature on UA firefighters at the Firefighter Com-bat Challenge, a personality sketch of Walt Seifert and a basic guide to em-bracing the incoming “Computer Age.”

Since the first issue, the Publishing Group has become CityScene Media Group and the magazine has changed mastheads as Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff joined forces with Upper Arlington. In July 2010, UA Magazine became Tri-Village Magazine and, in December of that same year, CMG be-gan calling Grandview “home.”

These changes broadened the scope to include and feature activities and entertainment options south of Fifth Av-enue. There is an obvious crossover of residents within each area and those people participate in longstanding tra-ditions, such as the Great Pumpkin Run, regardless of which city they reside in. We like to think the three areas play so well together because they don’t actually compete in sports against one another.

While things have changed within the pages of the publication, many fac-ets remain constant. Each issue profiles local residents, lists upcoming events, offers a voice for each community via

the City Pages and takes pride in clever headlines and engaging content.

Since 1999, the maga-zine has been filled, cover to cover, with local stories and has reflected the life-style of the community and its residents. CityScene Media Group and Tri-Village Maga-zine look to continue the tra-

dition of em-bodying and perpetuating what is impor-tant to citizens for years to come.

As winter inevitably approaches, the daily dose of day-light is significantly decreasing.

But the dark days of the season don’t have to be loathed, thanks to advances in outdoor technology.

“This time of year, people look to extend the enjoyment of their home into the evening,” says Matt Brewer, owner of Soft-scape Outdoor Lighting, based in Columbus. “They look into lighting the areas around patios and decks to create a nice ambience and so people can see. During warmer weather, to make it comfortable, we add soft lighting and candles so homeowners can spend the evening out there entertaining.”

One tip to remember when highlighting key facets of the home is to not overdo it. This can make the house look less like a showcase and more like an eyesore.

“Don’t make it overly-lit – it’s not a spotlight,” Brewer says. “Highlight the architectural features and accent different as-pects of the landscape in a way to showcase the home. You can get more curb appeal in a soft way. It’s better to keep the lights closer to the home and accent what it already has.”

When a homeowner is planning the layout of lighting, con-sistent bulb choice has to be considered, as each type of bulb emits a different color, some of which can be distracting.

“Pay attention to the bulb and color temperature,” says Aaron Wilcox, general manager of Lighthouse Landscape Lighting in Upper Arlington. “There can be some really un-pleasant, bluish and orange colors if you’re not careful. To get a warm white, you can use incandescent lights. They have a nice glow, but they use a lot of electricity. Halogens, which have been around for 50 years plus, are also great and they’re a bit more efficient.”

If you’re aiming for low electric bills, seek out LED bulbs. LED is the most efficient option, given that the lights use one-eighth the electricity their incandescent counterparts.

The only issue with LED lighting is the upfront cost. But spring-ing for the top brands and technology will put you at a long-term advantage.

“You can get the economy stuff, but it may not last long,” Wil-cox says. “There are some higher grade composite, aluminum and brass fixtures that will last for decades. With the integra-

tion of LED into the market, there’s a lot of water-proofing that’s being done. If you’re going to go LED, you have to go quality to protect against the inclement weather we

Incandescent Exposureliving By Stephan Reed

Lighting options offer an increase in outdoor safety, aesthetics and functionality

Proper outdoor lighting can be the difference between calling it a night or keeping the party going.

A well-lit home will deter potential intruders from approaching your property.

Highlight architecture by aiming bulbs up at the structure.


have in central Ohio. Your $40 LED bulb can be broken in a heartbeat or they can last 10 - 15 years if protected and cared for. Don’t cheap out.”

However, outdoor lighting isn’t just about looks. When a home is optimal-ly lit, homeowners can keep unwanted animals out of the yard and, most impor-tantly, discourage potential intruders from breaking in.

Garages, outdoor buildings, door-ways and basement windows are key areas to keep in mind.

“We often have people calling us out in the winter months for security issues in their neighborhood,” Wilcox says. “We recommend auto-lights that turn on at dusk and off at dawn without having to manually do it every day. Pair this tech-nique with low-voltage LED for maximum energy efficiency.”

If the darkness inhibits your outdoor mobility and makes you reluctant to ven-ture outside, ensure that walkways and stairways are properly lit.

“I have customers who are concerned for the safety of their parents, so we work to light these dangerous walkways,” Brewer says.

And with all this illumination going on, it’s important to keep not only your indoor guests in mind, but also your neighbors. Keeping lights close together and shining up a particular surface will help combat intruding and unwanted radiance.

“Fixtures are specifically designed with adjusting shrouds and joints to aim lights properly,” Wilcox says. “Once you get up there and aim it properly, they serve

their function without being obnoxious to you or anyone else in the neighborhood. Avoid high-voltage flood lights, as they use a lot of energy and are a nuisance. These bulbs burnout faster and changing them can be unsafe and costly.”

It would be difficult for someone to describe the Commissary in a single

sentence, as the multifacet-ed, food-centric enterprise has its fingers in a lot of different pies – so to speak.

The new addition to the Columbus-area culinary community opened in the middle of October. The brainchild of long-time culinary professional Kate Dj-upe, the Commissary is the culmination of five years of planning and work.

Djupe attended the Culinary Institute of America before meeting her husband,

Paul, and settling down in Columbus with their two sons, Gust and Bear.

She is no stranger to culinary enterpris-es. She opened two casual restaurants in Birmingham, Ala. in the past.

“I am having all of these restaurant building flashbacks right now because of construction at the Commissary,” Djupe

says. “In some ways, the process feels the same even though this is more than five times the size of either of those.”

The idea for the Com-missary came to Djupe when people began ask about buying the baby food she made at home for her youngest son. In order to sell it, she need-ed commercial kitchen space and industrial re-frigerators, which proved to be just too expensive.

Djupe sought to create a support system for food entrepreneurs at every level. With the help of private inves-tors and crowd-funding websites, such as Kickstarter, Djupe raised enough money to make the Commissary a reality. Con-tained within the building at 1400 Dublin Rd. is a plethora of services to help any-one interested in food preparation.

Starting a restaurant can be difficult, especially with the expensive equipment necessary for food preparation and stor-age, but the Commissary has fledgling food entrepreneurs covered with its on-site and off-site equipment rentals.

Food trucks – an integral parts of the rising foodie community in Columbus – can find a support center in the Com-missary with dedicated power stations and dishwashing machines inside to help with maintenance issues and overnight parking spaces available for rent outside.

It also offers the ability to try out point of sale technologies, the systems that manage transactions when a customer goes to the cashier, so restaurateurs can make informed decisions when choosing to invest in their business.

Also found in the Commissary is its nonprofit partner, the Proof Box. The Proof Box provides business services to food entrepreneurs, including accounting and consulting.

Inside the Commissary are three pri-vate kitchens, a dedicated dairy kitchen, a curing room and a walk-in storage area. There is a large kitchen space where restaurants are encouraged to ex-periment with different and new recipes and try them out before implementing them in their own menus.

“We call it ‘The Lab,’” Djupe says. The Commissary is also host to a siz-

able community event space that can be rented out for everything from book club meetings to cooking classes.

One wall, across from the Commis-sary’s sizable community cookbook li-brary, is dedicated to several murals cre-ated by Columbus-area artists, including Sarah DeAngulo Hout. One mural, a work in progress, is open for visitors to contribute to.

Anyone who walks through the Com-missary’s doors can contribute by painting in one of the many shapes that make up the mural. Djupe recommends fun food shapes if a person picks one of the circles.

Another wall is dedicated to wooden spoons engraved with the names and comments of the private investors who made her vision possible. The wall, filled with hundreds of different voices, embod-ies the core philosophy of The Commis-sary: a community kitchen space by and for everyone.

The block party will feature Colum-bus Knife Fight, a cooking competi-tion to spotlight culinary talent in the style of the Esquire Network show Knife Fight, mixed drinks and craft beers provided by area breweries, T-shirt and swag bag giveaways; all complete with live music performed by local indie rock band Earwig.

Kahiki Supper Club: A Polynesian Paradise in Columbus By David MeyersThe Kahiki, a South Seas-themed restaurant, was located in Colum-bus on East Broad Street. The res-taurant was easily identified, since it was shaped like a Polynesian fighting boat with giant flaming mo’ai heads outside. You entered into a faux South Pacific village with tropical rainforest – exotic. The best was ordering the “Mys-tery Drink,” which came in a bowl with a smoking volcano and was served by the “Mystery Girl” who danced the drink to your table after being summoned by a gong.

Long Hidden: Specu-lative Fiction from the Margins of History By Rose Fox and Daniel José Older This is the culminations of sto-ries about a teenage werewolf hunting a killer in medieval Germany, Prohibition gangsters and the river sirens they love, a Welsh conscientious objector who comes home from World War I irreversibly changed, unspeakable monsters of the old West, and the family ties that bind them. This collection of epic tales is haunting and fantastical.

The FuriesBy Natalie HaynesGreek tragedy becomes modern tragedy when the student of a grieving teacher is inspired by an-cient tales of bloody vengeance. When London exile Alex Morris starts class in drama therapy at Edinburgh’s Pupil Referral Unit, her main goal is to keep the stu-dents from attacking each other – or her. As the term progresses, Morris and her students bond over shared grief and loneliness. But for one student, this shared fascination with Greek tragedy will become an obsession with finding the truth – and a danger-ous quest for revenge.
