Songs, Shorts and SpellingFall shows from UA theater students
Elements of audience participation, contemporary theater and more will be represented at this year’s collection of stage performances at Upper Arlington City Schools.
Check out our roundup below for a look at what’s coming up this school year.
Jones Middle SchoolHigh School Musical Junior
Oct. 22-25Each year, Jones Middle School chooses which musical to
stage based on a three-year rotation of fantasy, modern and tra-ditional musicals, says Sarah Santilli, music teacher.
“This is a modern, contemporary year, and we thought High School Musical would be a good fit,” she says.
Casting has not yet been finalized, but Santilli estimates based on past years that quite a few students will have an op-portunity to be involved in High School Musical Junior.
“Past years, we’ve had about 200 students involved both onstage and backstage,” she says.
Hastings Middle SchoolNight of One Acts
Nov. 5-6Performing a series of one-acts instead of a full-length play
gives more students the opportunity to be involved in the pro-
duction, says David Monseur, advisor and musical director at Hastings Middle School.
“The titles of the plays are announced to the students at the time of auditions. Because as many as 90 students can be involved in the production, performing multiple plays is a way to involve as many students as possible,” Monseur says.
Upper Arlington High SchoolThe 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Nov. 12-14Upper Arlington High School’s production will feature nine
main roles that will be cast with students, says Greg Varner, the-ater teacher. Other characters will involve audience participation.
“The unique thing about this project is that the cast also in-cludes a few non-actors who are called into the performance from the audience to become characters in the show,” Varner says.
Varner hopes that the element of audience participation will present a unique challenge for his students.
“The show itself will challenge my students as producers of theater because the non-actors invited into the performance cre-ate a variable that requires quick instincts,” he says.

Most people have never visited all 50 states, much less completed a marathon in all 50. But that’s exactly what Marble Cliff resident and avid runner Jeff Smith has
done over the past 11 years. “I never intended to be a marathon runner. I began running
when I moved to downtown Columbus and needed exercise and to learn my way around the neighborhood. I found running to be easy to do, convenient, enjoyable and quite sociable,” said Smith. “First, I ran around the block, then two blocks. I ran farther and farther until I decided to participate in short races and finally marathons.”
The high point of his running efforts came in October 2014 when, cheered by family and friends at the finish line, Jeff achieved his goal of completing a marathon in all 50 states, a feat he estimates only about 1,000 other marathoners have achieved – fewer than 40 of them under the age of 37.
“After my brother was diagnosed with lymphoma and a favorite law school professor died of leukemia, I got involved with Team In Training, a Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation program that raises money for blood cancer research,” Smith said. “Being part of this nationwide group of runners was fun, and inspired me to try my first marathon in honor of my brother and professor. It was the 2003 San Diego Marathon. When I fin-ished, I said to myself, ‘I’ll never do that again.’ But I did, first in St. Louis, then in Little Rock. During my second year of running and after my fourth marathon, I thought, wouldn’t it be nice to run a marathon in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.?”
His wife, Kristy, has always supported his interest in run-ning. They knew each other while growing up in Sandusky and started dating while attending Kent State University. They mar-ried after moving to Columbus, where Jeff attended Capital Law School and Kristy worked at the Ohio Statehouse.
“We found our interests in traveling and running made for a great way to see our beautiful country. We’d get in the car on Friday and drive to a marathon location. I’d run, and then we’d drive home on Sunday. Even after our children, Lincoln (age 5) and Laney (age 3) arrived, we continued to plan family vacations around marathons,” said Smith. “Running marathons across the country was a fun, healthy, social activity that’s in-troduced us to a lot of cool people and places. It’s been a great journey, and I hope I’ve inspired some people along the way to chase your dreams and do what you love.”
Smith has completed 53 marathons and has a best time of 2:59:53. He says the Boston Marathon and Newport Marathon are perhaps his most memorable marathons.
“I remember all of the races for something … the scenery, the people, the weather, but Boston comes to mind because it is the iconic, American marathon that everyone knows. And Newport because it is a beautiful location. It was my 50th state marathon, and five of my seven siblings ran with me at least part of the way. To have so many friends and family at the finish line made it a very special day for us.”
Smith will run the marathon a second time in 2016.At age 38, Smith still runs early each morning before going
to his job as director of government affairs and general counsel for the Independent Insurance Agents Association of Ohio. He always wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps as a lawyer and has done lobbying work for the past 13 years, first as director of legislative affairs for the Ohio Home Builders Assn. (2002-05), then as the director of governmental relations for the Ohio State Medical Assn. (2005-13). He serves on the board of directors and volunteers at the Physicians Free Clinic. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his children outdoors.
The Smiths moved to Marble Cliff in 2011 and are members of Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church. They say Marble Cliff is a great, walkable community, comprised of families of all ages.
“The people in this community have been welcoming to us, and we enjoy raising our children here,” Kristy said.
Both agree their focus in the coming years will be family and involvement in the community and schools.

When one looks at Grandview from above on Google Maps, it is a collection of streets
and buildings, just like countless other places. But look a little closer, and you’ll find that these streets and buildings have their own unique qualities.
Destination Grandview, a conven-tion and visitors bureau, aims to show visitors what to do and see in Grand-view and Grandview Yard.
“Our mission is to promote the Grandview area to visitors, which would include business and leisure travels,” says Jessica Walli, executive director of Destination Grandview. “Not a lot of people know about us be-cause we really have taken off within the last year or so.”
Destination Grandview formed in 2012, and Walli has held her position since January 2014.
Walli, the sole employee of Des-tination Grandview, says many busi-nesses in Grandview are independently owned and give the area a grounded and charming quality.
She says there are efforts to reach out to group tour operators in surround-ing states to encourage visitors.
Popular events in the area include Grandview High Gravity Hullabaloo, which is put on by the Grandview Craft Beer Alliance, as well as the Pumpkin Run, which is held by the Grandview Heights Parks and Recreation Department.
The Pumpkin Run is a 5K run/walk held each October on the streets of Grandview. The event becomes big-ger every year, Walli says, usually with about 500 runners and attendees from throughout central Ohio.

There’s also Digfest, an annual fes-tival that celebrates local craft brewers and distilleries as well as Ohio wines and liqueurs.
Another notable sign of the area’s growth is the upcoming move of Na-tionwide Insurance company offices to Grandview Yard – an area that Walli says has a symbiotic relationship with the rest of Grandview.
“You can plan on spending more time in Grandview,” Walli says, “I think Grandview is really becoming known in
central Ohio and even outside of Ohio as the destination for good food.”
She cites restaurants such as Hof-bräuhaus and the authentic experience of a German beer garden as a particular-ly good spot for food and beer, gaining Grandview the reputation as a destina-tion for a variety of cuisine.

It is likely if you have lived in, worked in or simply visited the Tri-Village area that Dan and Mary Ludlum have
impacted your experience there in a posi-tive way.
Their long careers – Dan as an Upper Arlington High School teacher and coach, and Mary as director of the Grandview Heights Public Library – have given way to retirement, but theirs isn’t the type of retirement that comes with palm trees and sea breezes. To Columbus residents Dan and Mary, retirement is their time

to give back, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.
The Ludlums’ reasons and motivation for this are simple.
“You’ve been gifted. Find those gifts. People need them,” says Dan.
Mary agrees, and she be-lieves it is easy to get involved serving the Tri-Village area.
“Look around for what ex-cites you,” she says. “There are needs in the community. Just jump in and help. Just do it.”
Dan and Mary met while attending Capital University, where Dan’s father had been a professor and dean. In what would become a theme for their life together, the two met on a retreat while preparing to serve others as resident assistants/counselors at the university.
Dan was a year ahead of Mary, so the couple married after Mary’s graduation. They
moved swiftly into the teach-ing and library jobs that would form their careers and founda-tion for their Tri-Village impact.
Dan spent 35 years teach-ing social studies and speech at UAHS. He also coached track, girls basketball and the speech and debate team during that time. Dan points to the award-winning Youth in Government program – for which students shadow lo-cal government officials to gain firsthand understanding of their roles, and which he started – as his favorite achievement.
Mary retired from her direc-torship of the Grandview library after spending a 32-year career there. Of her many impressive achievements, Mary cites the Music on the Lawn summer out-door concert series, now in its 30th year, as her favorite.
“It’s very important to the community,” she says. “It’s just a

good neighborhood feel, and it very much helps create the feel of Grandview.”
The Ludlums’ main launching point for their community service is their church, Atonement Lutheran Church, where Dan is the head elder and Mary is co-chairwoman of the community service
board. Additionally, they volunteer with the food pantry and Habitat for Humanity.
Most importantly though, the cen-tral project the Ludlums share is work-ing with the church’s comfort dog, Rosie. Rosie was purchased by Atonement Lu-theran a year ago and, since then, ac-cording to Rosie’s dedicated page on the
church’s website, she has comforted peo-ple on more than 1,000 visits.
Helping out with Rosie incorporates the skills Mary and Dan have from their careers. Dan serves as a handler for Rosie, coaching and teaching her and the people she visits about the proper ways to interre-late. He completed a training course with Rosie to be able to properly hold her leash, protect her and give her commands during visits. Mary serves as a visit helper, known as the Top Dog, for which she facilitates the visits and interacts with the person or people Rosie is comforting, allowing Mary, Dan and Rosie to form quite a team.
The results of the visits are what keep Dan and Mary so involved with Rosie. Whether it is greeting schoolchildren get-ting off the school bus, comforting a fami-ly after a house fire or hearing a child refer to herself as “happy” for the first time after

spending time with Rosie, the Ludlums know they are putting their time and skills to good use.
In addition to his work as a handler with Rosie, Dan also volunteers with VOICEcorps, a radio station aimed at bringing printed news to people who, due to a disability, are unable to read standard print media. Dan reads live twice a week. On Wednesday mornings between 7 and 8 he and a partner read a variety of local and national news.
The station has more than 300 sub-scribers and can be accessed through a special partnership with WOSU and by streaming online at www.voicecorps.org. With a voice and delivery made for radio, Dan finds VOICEcorps to be the perfect fit.
“It’s great fun,” he says. “It’s an incred-ible group of volunteers.”
When the Ludlums aren’t busy with their packed service schedule, they can be found visiting their son, Stephen, in Lou-isville, reading Lee Child mystery novels or occasionally enjoying what they think might be the Tri-Village’s best kept secret: the cin-namon sticks at the Original Goodie Shoppe.
The Ludlums don’t think what they do is special because they believe
they’re surrounded by people in the Tri-Village area who share their spirit of giving back.
“When you think about the Tri-Vil-lage area, there are so many unappreciated people. Whether it’s a math teacher, the police and firemen, there are a lot of work-ing people in Upper Arlington, Grandview and Marble Cliff that really are heroes be-cause of the way they do their jobs, the way they balance family, work and com-munity,” Dan says.
Mary agrees and professes a love of community and the relationships that can result.
“Those strong connections are just wonderful,” she says. “All three communi-ties have people who are passionate about their neighborhoods that will step up and serve, whether it’s the Arts Council, or the Friends of the Library, or the historic soci-ety, or the library foundation, helping to support to make sure the community is strong. They’re doing it because they love where they are and want it to continue. The people make the Tri-Village area a special place.”

Grandview Heights City Schools has worked with a community volunteer organization to reshape
a school program in time for the new aca-demic year.
The Circle of Grandparents program, in which senior citizen volunteers teach character qualities to students, was insti-tuted in the district in the 2013-14 school year. Both the district and the volunteers have been working together to make it more relevant for students, says Jamie Lusher, chief academic officer.
“We saw the value and saw the impor-tance of this program,” Lusher says.
Circle of Grandparents has its roots in the Worthington organization Partners for Community and Character. When Lusher was a building principal at Worthington City Schools, she saw the program carried out there.
Once Lusher came to Grandview, she began talking with Jan Hoffman, a Circle of Grandparents volunteer, about refocus-ing the Grandview program with the goal of targeting intergenerational relationships.
“We wanted to improve and enhance it,” she says.
Enter district Director of 21st Cen-tury Learning Marc Alter, who was tasked with looking for ways to make the Circle of Grandparents interactions more au-thentic for the children while still honor-ing the Circle’s original intent.
From talking with the volunteers, Al-ter realized that the communication style
could become more interactive. Alter was inspired by his own interest in storytell-ing. For about 15 years, he’s traveled to a three-day national storytelling festival held in Jonesborough, Tenn., to listen to the stories shared there. And while his job at the district deals with using technology, he still values traditional, face-to-face, organic communication.
“Sometimes, you have to step away from technology,” Alter says.
With that in mind, Alter suggested the medium of storytelling as an option for the Circle of Grandparents volunteers. Instead of delivering a talk to students about loyalty, for instance, the grandpar-ents could have a conversation with stu-dents about it.
“They were really receptive to that type of idea,” Alter says.
To try out his idea, Alter gathered some of the volunteers at Robert Louis Ste-venson Elementary School with a handful of third-graders. They sat in small groups and exchanged stories and, when Alter saw the opportunity, he gave the students

prompts to move the conver-sations along.
Alter asked one of the students about the cast on her arm and learned that she broke her arm using a pogo stick. Alter asked the grandparents whether they could think of a time when an accident or un-fortunate event led them in an unexpected direction.
One of the grandparents shared a story about how when he was a child, he was bad at sports. Later, he realized his vision problem probably con-tributed. Still, as a child, he became an avid reader, which led to him becoming a lawyer.
The conversations, Alter says, have a completely different impact than a tradi-tional lecture would.
“We’re creating opportunities to have conversations and to kind of be cognizant of the lessons and connections that are learned through those conversations,” he says.
The program, now called The Con-nections Project, is somewhat similar to the StoryCorps conversations often broad-
cast on National Public Ra-dio, in that Alter records each conversation. Alter hopes to post the recordings online.
Alter emphasizes Story-Corps as a jumping-off point in The Connections Project’s evolution, rather than an outright precursor. At some point, he also wants to start a storytelling club and perhaps expand the project beyond the school district.
At the end of last school year, Alter contin-ued to work with small groups of third-graders and volunteers on a small scale during class time. He’s also
working alongside volunteers outside of school hours with storytelling workshops to help them find their voice and style.
The Connections Project will start with third-graders and, Alter says, he wants to work up to middle school. The program may take on a different format for younger students. Students will work in small groups at different points during the school day. The program will also be carried over to the after-school care pro-gram, which includes about 170 students.
The volunteers, Alter says, have been enthusiastic about trying something new. They’re also able to bring the wisdom of their lifetimes to the students.
“It’s a collaboration,” he says. Hoffman has been involved with
Circle of Grandparents since 2011, when she began volunteering at Worthington schools. She started at Grandview schools in 2013. She and others will participate in storytelling at Stevenson and Edison In-termediate school this school year.
“We’re looking forward to doing that,” she says.

We’re all familiar with iPhones, iPads and iPods, but what about iCoaches?
Though the term might conjure up images of fitness trackers, it actually refers to a select group of Upper Arlington middle and high school teachers who have volun-teered to help implement Upper Arling-ton City School District’s new one-to-one technology program. This group will help other district teachers make use of the new technology that will be available to them to design new and innovative lesson plans.
The one-to-one technology program will be implemented this fall and will pro-vide every student in grades six through 12 with a MacBook Air.
“Our strategic plan calls for the dis-trict to provide every student with a de-vice, and the strategic plan does not specify what the device is. We spent the last year with teachers from middle to
high school, conducting site visits and deciding what it was we were hoping to do in our district to go one-to-one, and we landed on MacBook Airs,” says Emilie Greenwald, chief academic officer. “We’re an Apple district and have been for years, and wanted to keep working with Apple.”
Greenwald sees the new technology as another tool to facilitate learning.
“It really is about learning. We want to make sure that we can personalize and enhance learning for all of our students, and we knew one way to do that was with a device,” she says. “But it doesn’t replace the teacher; it’s not about that.”
Greenwald predicts that the technol-ogy program and, in particular, the use of laptops in the classroom, will help give teachers the tools to design innovative lesson plans that will cater to students’ needs, as well as give students more con-trol over their own education.

“We know that teachers will have an ability to bring different things into the classroom when kids have devices,” she says. “We’re really looking at how we can stretch our kids, and help them take hold of their learning and have a personalized experience.”
Greenwald hopes the new one-to-one technology program will give students more control over their own education and more freedom to be inde-pendent thinkers.
“A lot of what we’ve seen is enhanced student engagement,” says Greenwald. “We’ve also seen students as creators; in-stead of students sitting and simply listen-ing to a lecture or taking notes, they’re out seeking the information.”

For most, seeing a stray animal tugs at the heartstrings.
Usually, all one can do is walk on and hope for the best, or call a service such as animal care and control. But some Grandview residents have taken the extra step to care for animals in need – while also taking extra measures to assure the problem does not grow.
A group of neighbors noticed a sig-nificant problem with feral cats in their
Grandview neighborhood. There were roughly 11 kittens, as well as their mother.
“A friend walking by a neighbor’s house alerted my husband and me,” says Sharon Hatem. “After several days, we all realized
The FixIs In
Trap-Neuter-Return Method for Feral Cats• Trap the cat humanely. Never use tranquilizers or nets.
Instead, use appealing food and a simple cage. • Once the cat is trapped, cover the trap to keep the
cat calm. • Head to an animal clinic or veterinarian that day or the
next day for the operation.• After the cat is fixed, keep the animal in its cage for
about 24 hours. This way, the cat can heal. Keep the cat indoors, such as in a garage or spare room.
• Feed the cat about eight hours after surgery. • Release the cat at the exact location where you
trapped it.

Grandview cat-rescuers offer advice on how to lend a helping hand

that the mother cat and her kittens were most likely put – or dumped, more like it.”
Hatem and her fellow neighbors quickly came up with a game plan.
“We realized something needed to be done or we would have a feral cat explo-sion,” Hatem says. “The neighbors and I did some research … and decided to use the trap-neuter-return method if we couldn’t find homes for them.”
Patti Modlich, one of the neighbors, says she knew from past experiences that cats can multiply quickly and it isn’t al-ways easy to find them homes.
“If you can get a kitten at a very young age, it may be possible to have that kitten
adopted out,” Modlich says. “(As they get older) the chances are slim.”
The rescue effort lasted about nine months. The group was able to trap all the
cats, and have them spayed and neutered. Overall, the neighbors have spent about two years with the group of cats.
“We either found homes for them or released them into the neighborhood,” Hatem says. “One neighbor has two heat-ed kitty condos on her back patio, and she and several of us chip in for food and vet bills.”
Ruthanne James, another neighbor who lent a helping hand, says the winter is particularly brutal for stray animals. James helped offset the cost of the heated cat condos, and offered her garage up as a sanctuary.
“In the garage, they can come and go as they please,” James says, adding that she and her neighbors have given names to the remaining members of the cat colony.
Pet Rescue Advice
“It works well when the neighbors work as a team. Take turns in setting the traps, checking the trap and taking the cat to be fixed. … Donate money to help cover cost, provide food, maybe a shelter.” – Patti Modlich
“The situations can be dealt with, but someone has to intervene. The problem will not go away on its own. The only way to solve the problem is to not have it happen in the first place. (You need to) spay and neuter.” –
Sharon Hatem
“Find places that are willing to spay or neuter feral cats for a low price. Be aware of the times of year that kittens are usually born. Realize that, by having feral cats fixed, you are helping to end the growth of the colony.” – Patti Modlich
“I don’t think people know there are so many ways to get involved. More people need to be aware of ways they can help out.” – Ruthanne James

They are part of the family, James says. Still, they behave like feral cats.
“During the storms – the snow, sleet, ice – we take care of them, but they still don’t like us,” James says. “But there’s still something wonderful about it. I don’t think people realize that, when they aban-don cats, other people step forward to take care of them.”

Cooking up Kindness Tour gives visitors a chance to check out residents’ new kitchens while supporting a worthy cause
living Story by Christina Szuch Photos courtesy of Angie Bammer Holmes Photography
Most people have stood in the kitchens of their friends, rela-tives or neighbors, but it’s not
every day that one gets to explore strang-ers’ kitchens and learn about unique fea-tures, design and functionality.
The Kitchen Kapers tour in Upper Ar-lington, this year sponsored by Erie Insur-ance and held from noon-5 p.m. on Sept. 13, has been giving people that opportu-nity for the past 28 years.
Each fall, residents volunteer to show off their new or recently remodeled kitchens to hundreds of people. The tour began in 1987 when a group of Upper Arlington women wanted to raise money for the OhioHealth Riverside Methodist
Lauren and Ryan Miller’s home on Edington Road (top) features this mid-century modern style kitchen. Contractor Derrick Layer remodeled the kitchen in Catherine and Steve Kennedy’s Tremont Road home (bottom).

Hospital, specifically concentrating on breast health services.
The effort was met with success, and they eventually decided to expand support to all oncology services at the hospital.
For the past seven years, Kitchen Kapers has benefited Riverside’s Arts in Medicine program. The program gives patients exposure to various types of art, allowing them to enjoy the company of professional artists, a harpist, a guitarist and an art therapist.
Kara Rappolt, president of the 2015 Kitchen Kapers tour, explains the impor-tance of this assistance.
“They work with patients at their bedside and help them deal with the emo-tional impact of cancer,” Rappolt says.
Rappolt has seen how much the hos-pital has been able to do to comfort pa-tients and families. Volunteer Jen McHale has been working with the children of can-cer patients, providing an outlet for them while their parents are going through infu-sions or chemo treatments.
Guitarist John Morgan has put a lot of smiles on the faces of patients and their fam-ilies. He has several anecdotes that can be found on the Kitchen Kapers website, www.kitchenkapers.org, including one about an Elvis impersonator and one about using music to motivate an elderly patient to fin-ish her exercise.
Since 1987, Kitchen Kapers has raised about $600,000. Last year, it took in an impressive $80,000. This year’s goal is $10,000.
The patients and volunteers at River-side are not the only ones who reap the benefits of the tour.
Rappolt says that though many peo-ple purchase tickets for the tour because they want to donate money to a good cause, many are looking for ideas for their own homes.
The tour is self-guided, and people can stop by the houses in any order they choose. Visitors can speak with homebuild-ers and architects who know the details of the room to learn about special features and the building or remodeling process.
“It’s a great source of business for our sponsors,” Rappolt says.
It is not unusual for people on the tour to end up meeting the person or com-pany that will ultimately end up working on their own home.
Brad and Katie Halley’s kitchen (top) and banquet and family dining area (bottom) were designed by Gary Alexander Archi-tects and constructed by Renovations Unlimited.

This year’s tour will include seven kitchens, all either built or renovated in the past three years.
“We have to find people who have the generosity to open their homes to 700 tour guests,” Rappolt says.
Among the homes are a mid-cen-tury modern ranch, two dwellings with pools and a house that was once owned by Jim Tressel.
Of course, the kitchens themselves are equally impressive. There is a sleek, ultra-modern kitchen; a kitchen with heated floors; and various types of cabinets includ-ing white, painted and face-lifted.
“We have different styles so every-one can see an assortment of kitchens,” Rappolt says.
The ideal kitchen depends on the type of cook, but features frequently found include large islands, double ov-ens, industrial gas cooktops, large re-frigerators and open spaces.
“Durability and function are a top priority,” Rappolt says.
All of the homes on this year’s tour belong to families with children.
“It’s exciting to see how these residents are able to create their kitchen to still fit their family’s lifestyle,” says Rappolt.
Of course, no kitchen is complete without food, and each home will fea-ture samples from two different restau-rants: one sweet and one savory.
Advance tickets can be purchased at www.kitchenkapers.org through Sept. 6 or at Huffman’s Market, Chocolate Café, DeSantis Florist Inc. and Tin Bak-ery through Sept. 12. They can be pur-chased the day of the tour at any of the homes for $30.

It’s no secret that America loves Ok-toberfest. Whether it’s the abundance of beer, German cooking or just an
excuse to celebrate, something makes the holiday a time to look forward to.
Those with German heritage may go the extra mile for Oktoberfest, but it doesn’t take German roots to celebrate. Local establishments with German in-fluences provide a range of Oktoberfest experiences.
HofbräuhausModeled after the 400-year-old
original Munich restaurant, Hofbräuhaus uses the same German recipes, says De-nis Varitek, general manager of the Co-lumbus location.

Hofbräuhaus places strong value on German tradition. The German and Ba-varian dishes must be tested for authen-ticity, all servers and hostesses wear tra-ditional German attire, and a house band performs accordion-based, Oompah-style music every day of the week. Even some foods, such as pretzels and sweets, are imported from Germany to ensure accuracy.
“To be successful you have to appeal to all people, but we try to do that with the foundation that we are a German-Bavarian restaurant,” says Varitek.
Brewmaster Robert Makein spent six years training in Germany to per-fect his craft, though he began brewing long before that. The German native says Hofbräuhaus guests should expect the food and beer to stay true to its German origins.
“It’s exactly the same,” Makein says.While most of the beers are brewed
in-house, two are imported. The mai-bock and Oktoberfest beers, both sea-sonal, are produced in Munich and sent to the company’s U.S. locations. German law prevents official Oktoberfest beer from being produced outside of Munich.

The Oktoberfest beer will be featured during the celebration at Hofbräuhaus, along with an increase in entertainment. Visitors can expect strolling accordions, magicians and live music at all hours, Va-ritek says.
“It’s going on from the time we open until the time we close,” he says.
Zauber Brewing Co.There’s a lot more to Germany than
just traditional dining. Zauber Brewing Co. blends these modern German influ-ences with an American style to provide its own unique experience.
Zauber uses Germany as a source of inspiration, choosing to Americanize rather than imitate.
“Like a good American, we’re going to take what we like, abuse it as we see fit and make it our own,” says founder Geoff Towne.
Zauber has a clear German influ-ence, but packages it in an American box. Steins and large wooden picnic tables find a place in the predominantly Ameri-can interior. Food trucks replace a typi-cal kitchen in an attempt to mirror the self-serve oriented, modern German beer halls, says Towne.
“It’s a way of blending the American ideas and making it approachable and understandable,” he says.
For Oktoberfest, Zauber takes over its neighboring street with tents, activi-ties and plenty of beer to create its own beer garden environment.
The festivities include food trucks, along with vendors and other breweries. To add more German flare, musicians per-form live German music, while attendees can participate in light-hearted games.
Zauber will also offer its own Okto-berfest beer. Similar to the brewery’s oth-er offerings, it will utilize German tech-

niques and style. Towne says it will be halfway between the authentic German beer and its Americanized counterpart.
“This is going to be like those beers without imitating directly,” he says.
Oktoberfest allows Zauber to show off its German influences to the festival crowd. Ohio residents’ German heritage
makes that influence particularly popular in the area, Towne says.

Bone Gap By Laura Ruby (ages 14 and up)A boy who can’t recognize fac-es, a girl who vanishes without a trace, an otherworldly horse that mysteriously appears in a barn and a beekeeper with low self-esteem. All of these factors entwine in Bone Gap, a tour de force of magical realism that is already garnering a lot of awards buzz.
Do You Really Want a Pet? By Bridget Heos (ages 6-9)This upbeat series helps readers determine whether a certain pet is right for them. For instance, Do You Really Want a Horse? addresses the responsibilities of owning a horse, such as cleaning and clipping hooves, in a light-hearted way. However, a quiz at the back takes a more serious tone as it asks readers to consider whether they are truly equipped to care for the pet. Other animals in the series include dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and birds.
