There is a distinguished jewelry design studio in Westerville, Ohio, owned and op-erated by an artist whose work is worn and recognized from coast to coast. Jewelry by Michael has offered custom designed high fashion jewelry since 1973. His style is tra-dition with a touch of vogue.

Michael has produced thousands of

jewelry pieces over the past four decades. Now he is about to introduce nationally, a piece of jewelry artistry he considers his most important work to date. He has tak-en the most iconic symbol in the history of mankind, given it a twist, added a touch of surrealism, and created a piece so unique it warranted a design-patent. Many who have held the piece in their hands are caught in a long moment of contemplation. Some have shed tears. This is a work of jewelry art de-signed to encourage and inspire everyone who sees it, and especially those who wear it.

Michael calls his newest creation the TalaJC™ Cross (pronounced talajack). TalaJC™ is an acronym for Take Another Look At Jesus Christ. The image is positioned in such a way that admirers are compelled to do just that. This bit of surrealism captured in a silver and/or gold pendant, is a small image of what might have been seen by the thief crucified on the cross next to Jesus. When this convict asked Jesus to remember him when He came into His Kingdom, Jesus

EASTER IS COMING - and so is the TalaJC™

responded by promising the thief that he would be with Him in Paradise, that day.

Jesus tells another story of God separating those who believe in Him from those who have yet to decide. The believers were given a position at His right hand. The right hand of God throughout scripture always represents the power and authority, the success and prosperity, and the promises and protection of God Almighty. The TalaJC™ Cross represents what those

gathered to the right side of Jesus might have seen on the day of

His crucifixion.

It is time as we approach Easter that we all take another

look at Jesus Christ. Let us all put aside all our preconceived ideas, as well as the “Jesus rhetoric” we may have heard from others, and take a fresh, new look at the Savior, Jesus Christ for ourselves. Jesus did not come to bring us Christianity. Christianity is something His followers invented and developed over the centuries. Jesus came to bring us the good news that we are all loved by God unconditionally. It is time we hear that story again. Visit us at www.TalaJC.com to order this unique symbol of affirmation and to learn more about the TalaJC and the TalaJC community. May God bless us all through the Holy

days of this Easter Season!

Maintaining a Quality ReputationSnow removal. Parks and recreation. Recycling. Safety.

Dublin has long been recognized for outstanding service in these and many other areas. And they’ve become benchmarks, setting standards for municipal services across the country.

Our reputation for quality City services is one reason why many residents have chosen Dublin as the place where they want to live and raise their families. We are able to provide this high level of service due in large part to the revenue the City receives from income tax collection.

Income tax revenues are allocated 75 percent to the General Fund and 25 percent to the Capital Improve-ments Tax Fund. Our largest funding source, income tax, accounts for approximately 67 percent of the City’s rev-enue stream.

Dublin, like many central Ohio cities, collects a 2 per-cent income tax on gross wages, salaries and other per-sonal service compensation, as well as on the net profits of Dublin businesses. Because more than 75 percent of Dublin residents work outside the City of Dublin, the majority of the income tax received by the City is from non-residents.

Many believe that the City’s primary funding source is property tax. However, property taxes account for just 3 percent of the City’s revenue sources and consist of two parts: inside and outside millage. Inside millage refers to the millage that is inside the 10-mill limit as established by Ohio law and does not require voter approval. Outside millage is voter-approved and is the most significant por-tion – more than 90 percent – of the millage assessed. Dublin voters have the opportunity to authorize additional property taxes for the township, county, schools and other agencies during elections.

We’re proud of our reputation and will continue to do our best to diversify our economy to maintain and invest in the excellent services and infrastructure we all enjoy in Dublin.

As tax season approaches, I invite you to learn more about how your taxes are allocated by visiting www.Dub-linOhioUSA.gov/finance. You also may request our new brochure – “A Resident’s Guide to Understanding Local Taxes” – by calling Dublin City Hall at 614-410-4400.

Sincerely,

Marsha I. Grigsby, City Manager

We’re heading into the greenest time of year in Dublin. Spring is just around the corner, and so is March 17 – also known as St. Patrick’s Day. Dublin’s celebration will begin March 15 with the annual Lions Club Pancake Breakfast, the “Greenest, Grandest Parade” and other community activities. For a complete list of Irish experiences visit www.IrishisAnAttitude.com.

This issue of Dublin Life Magazine showcases the City’s Irish connections. Kitty Munger, featured on our cover, is the descen-dant of Irish immigrants, a founding member of the Dublin Irish Festival and is director of communications for Wendy’s, one of the City’s prominent businesses. Jeni’s Scoop Shopkeeper Natalie Smyth, who met her husband in Ireland, brings the Irish influence into the Historic Dublin ice cream destination. Former Mayor Tim Lecklider made a trip to the Emerald Isle himself last year for the Dublin, Ireland St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

fa ces BY GARTH BISHOP

Irish Festival and Dave Thomas statue are among resident’s contributions to Dublin

Munger, a 27-year Indian Run Mead-ows resident, helped make a name for herself locally in 1982 as one of the co-founders of the Dublin Irish Festival.

The festival was born out of a group called Dublin Irish Celebration that was put together in the mid-1980s to create a relationship between the City and its cousin in Ireland, and to better incorpo-rate Irish culture into the City. When the Columbus Feis moved to what’s now Dub-lin Coffman High School and drew big crowds to Dublin, the festival was devised as a means to keep attendees in town.

Munger and co-founder Mary Mar-garet McClernon, along with a handful

of volunteers, did all the organizational work for those first few years, prior to the City’s taking over the management of the festival in 1992. She served as festival chair several times.

“At one point, I organized all of the vendors and the mass,” Munger says. “Pretty much everything, I’ve touched.”

After the City took over festival opera-tions, Munger stayed on board as head of the honorary chair committee. For the last few years, she has served as co-chair of the marketing and promotions committee, a job that keeps her involved but also allows her some time to just en-joy the festival.

“I’m kind of wher-ever (City Events Administrator) Mary Jo DiSalvo needs me,” Munger says.

Her favorite part of the festival has always been the music, particularly the traditional Irish music. Fiddler Ei-leen Ivers is one of her favorites, as is Scythian, a Celtic rock group that she heard for the first time in 2013.

“I really love the music, and I want

to take advantage of listening to some of the great bands we bring in,” she says.

Irish dancing – she used to be an Irish dancer herself – cultural exhibitions, Irish dog breeds and shopping are among the other highlights for Munger. She especial-ly enjoys browsing the musical instruments on display and for sale.

Munger’s interest in Irish culture is driven by more than just her city of residence – she also has Irish roots through her ma-ternal grandmother, who was born in County Clare.

“I have an affinity for all things Irish,” says Munger. “I grew up on the Clancy Brothers and (other) Irish music; my mom used to have that as her cleaning music.”

Munger has visited Dublin, Ireland mul-tiple times – sometimes visiting cousins who still live there, sometimes bringing friends who’ve never been before, always taking plenty of photos. Whether at home or abroad, the Irish culture holds appeal for many, she says. She gives as an ex-ample a group dance a few years ago in which she was partnered with a Japanese man who spoke no English but still knew some of the steps.

“It’s been a real joy to be able to bring Irish cultural activities to Dublin and to people who aren’t normally exposed to them,” says Munger.

Though her work with the Irish Festival has helped make her part of Dublin’s his-tory, her day job – director of communi-cations at Wendy’s – has made her part of Dublin’s even more recent history. In December, the company opened its new flagship store next to the Shoppes at River Ridge, and Munger oversaw the creation of one of its most distinctive features: a

bronze statue of company founder Dave Thomas.

Munger has been with Wendy’s for more than 20 years. Her history with the company goes back even further than her professional employment there, though.

“My dad was the very first ad agency (to work with Wendy’s), in 1969-71, and my first experience with Wendy’s was the Henderson Road Wendy’s,” which the family would visit on trips to Cincinnati from their home in Cleveland, she says.

Munger held an internship at Wendy’s while she was in college, then worked for the company briefly in the early 1980s before heading off to another job.

The company had wanted for years to commission a statue of Thomas, but could not think of a place to put it. When the flagship store was announced, it made perfect sense, Munger says. A committee of which Munger was part eventually chose Washington sculptor Matthew Gray Palmer to build the stat-ue, and Munger oversaw the creation of the piece, including a trip out to the artist’s studio on the San Juan Islands to view a full-size clay rendering.

The statue was installed Dec. 7 and unveiled Dec. 15.

“It’s like you’re looking right at (Thom-as),” Munger says.

In addition to the statue, the flagship store, which is twice the size of a stan-dard Wendy’s, has a sizable collection of memorabilia. Much of it had been sitting at the company’s headquarters ever since the original Wendy’s store in downtown Columbus closed in 2007.

“It’s a destination,” Munger says. “Peo-ple are going to want to see this.”

When not organizing festivals or com-missioning statues, Munger is an avid walker throughout Dublin, particularly enjoying taking her dogs to Avery Park. She enjoys photography, too, with Indi-an Run Falls and Historic Dublin among her favorite sites to shoot.

WHEN THE FLAGSHIP Wendy’s restaurant at 4555 W. Dublin-Granville Rd. was built, coordinators had a list of considerations, but at the top of that list was the customer.

Through interviews and surveys, they sought a formula balancing functionality and comfort to serve as a model for fu-ture franchises and for remodels of exist-ing ones.

“We spent thousands of hours listen-ing to consumers tell us about what ap-peals to them,” says Denny Lynch, senior vice president at Wendy’s. “We didn’t just ask questions; when they gave us answers, we looked further. What are the compelling reasons to come to a particular restaurant? Based on that, we created our evolution.”

The new design includes digital menu boards, flat-screen TVs, expansive glass, raised ceilings and a variety of seating arrangements.

“It’s a more contemporary and mod-ern feel,” Lynch says. “Sometimes peo-ple want to eat alone or with a group. We have seating at the Wi-Fi bar, wrap-around booths, a private area and an outdoor patio. People like the idea of options.”

The restaurant opened mid-December and has already been a hit with both consumers and employees. Changes to the kitchen have made tasks easier for those behind the counter and more se-cure for those on the other side.

“There’s more room and the crew is happier in this environment,” Lynch says. “Customers order food at one station and pick it up at another. They can see their food being prepared while they wait. Consumers told us that this depict-ed higher quality.”

New additions to cooking equipment include a self-cleaning oven, so bacon can be cooked in-house, and changes

A life-size replica statue of Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas greets customers as they enter the restaurant.


Dave’s New Wayto the fry stations make a more consis-tent, familiar and evenly-salted product.

Choosing the location as the flagship store was easy; it’s close to the head-quarters and next to the Shoppes at River Ridge, Lynch says.

“The City of Dublin sees this as a showcase and we’ll hopefully drive more business around here,” he says. “We’ve been in Dublin since 1977. We’re proud to be a part of this community.”

Unique to the flagship restaurant is the community room. A museum-like space available for dining, it showcases the history of the Columbus-born eatery, including displays featuring its famous “Where’s the Beef?” advertising cam-paign, early sketches of the logo featur-ing the Wendy character and a tribute to founder Dave Thomas.

“The room is filled with memorabilia, not just from Wendy’s history, but from Dublin as well,” Lynch says. “There’s a visual timeline of what happened from when we opened in 1969 to what’s go-ing on now.”

There is an original-style table and chairs for “authentic and vintage feel.” The table has classic newspaper print

and sits right under a sign reading “1969,” denoting the year the first Wendy’s opened at 257 E. Broad St. in downtown Columbus. Hanging in the window is a menu board from the origi-nal location.

“We even have some of the beads that were once used as dividers between tables,” Lynch says. “It’s a reflection of how it all began.”

Perhaps the most eye-catching ele-ment is the life-size, bronze statue of Thomas outside.

“The facial features, hair and other details were scrutinized until it was perfect,” Lynch says. “He’s wearing his wedding ring and a replica of his watch. His family lives here; they know what their dad looks like.”

Thomas became a fast food icon dur-ing his lifetime, so his face is recogniz-able to those using the drive-thru. It’s not uncommon to see people snapping a picture with the friendly founder, Lynch says.

“It’s a fun time – taking a selfie with Dave,” he says.

THE BANNER AT THE Dublin Community Recreation Center reads: “Congratulations, Dublin. You Were Healthy First.”

It’s not some gimmicky slogan. It is a title City of Dublin employees earned thanks to the support of Dublin City Council and the personal efforts Dub-lin employees have put toward their health.

In December, Dublin be-came the first city in the nation to earn accreditation through HealthLead. HealthLead is a program from US Healthiest, a nonprofit organization led by executives from private indus-try and nonprofits. The group awarded Dublin a bronze level accreditation for its em-ployee health management/wellness program.

US Healthiest recognized that Dub-lin – working with employees to make small, individual changes – can create big results.

For example, look at City of Dublin Assistant Horticulturist Tim Fleischer. When he was a teacher in Mechanic-sburg, Ohio, his health insurance cov-ered many health care costs at 100 percent. However, the $265 bi-weekly health care premiums for him and his wife gutted a sizable portion of his

paycheck. As a result, they went to the doctor whenever needed, but they did not regularly exercise.

Since Fleischer started with Dublin in June 2013, he has taken advantage of several health classes, learned to eat healthier, lost six pounds, and he and his wife now work out together twice a week. His blood pressure also has improved.

“We wouldn’t do that if it wasn’t for Dublin. We had been saying we need-ed to (work out), but Dublin made it easy to actually do it,” Fleischer says.

In its accreditation, US Healthi-est cited many reasons why Dublin earned this distinction, including hav-ing a 93 percent participation rate in the Healthy by Choice Plus program – an incentive-based program that re-wards employees for reaching health targets. The City also has saved a total

of $2,657,462 in three years (2011-2013). Dublin’s recognition from the nonprofit organization is no small ac-complishment. The Ohio State Univer-sity and companies such as Intel and Target have already been recognized by the group.

It is the savings and stories like Fleischer’s that show Dublin’s on the

right track, Dublin City Man-ager Marsha Grigsby says.

“In Dublin, we provide an environment where employees can not only learn about im-proving their health, we give them the means to stay active, whether it’s our daily stretch-ing, 100 miles of bike trails or a free membership to our recreation center,” she says. “That healthy environment is embodied throughout our com-

munity as well. So we are honored to be the first city in America to earn this accreditation.”

Jodi Andes is the senior public infor-mation officer for the City of Dublin.

City of Dublin Employees Achieve a First in the Nation Designation

The City saved $2,657,462 in three years (2011-2013),

compared to projected health care costs.

By jODI ANDES

Editor’s note: At press time the City of Dublin was also recognized as a 2014 Healthiest 100 Work-places in America by Healthiest Employers.


DUBLIN IS ON the right track when it comes to recycling. The City started with curbside recycling in 1995 and has since expanded to include recycling of e-waste and composting of yard waste.

In fact, Dublin does so much with these three programs that the City is close to reaching a milestone: Nearly half of the City’s waste stream is diverted, says Beth Lozier, who administers the recycling pro-grams for the City.

Dublin diverts 48 percent of its waste stream – an increase of 10 percent from a decade ago, City records show.

Diversion not only stops the waste from going to a landfill, it also allows nonprofit groups to find new uses for some of the discarded goods, says Mimi Migliore, Dublin’s nature education coordinator.

The City is planning a neighborhood recycling event that should help increase

the diversion numbers. Large household items, building materials, bicycles and shreddable materials will be accepted at the event. The date hasn’t been deter-mined, but it is expected in late spring or early summer. For details, go to http://dublinohiousa.gov/living/its-greener-in-dublin/.

Residents with e-waste, or electronic waste, don’t have to wait. E-waste can be dropped off at the Dublin Service Center, 6555 Shier Rings Rd., on week-days between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Dublin residents can take pride in what they have accomplished so far. A major-ity of the City’s diversion has come from curbside recycling. Residents’ emptied milk gallon jugs, cereal boxes, pop cans, cardboard boxes and other recyclables added up to 4,670 tons in 2012.

If you think those individual efforts don’t add up, think again.

Waste industry experts estimate that Americans generate 1 ton of trash a year, or about 2,000 pounds of waste. Given all of Dublin’s recycling efforts, City residents amass 1,500 pounds on average – about 25 percent less than the av-erage American.

And that’s something to be proud of.

Jodi Andes is the senior public infor-mation officer for the City of Dublin.

Overcoming the Odds Dublin teens find inner strength

to tackle health challenges

WE HAVE ALL SEEN – either firsthand or in a loved one – the difficulties that injuries and illnesses bring to daily life. Often we picture these issues as affecting older people, but many young people face similar struggles and must do so while striv-ing to maintain some sense of normalcy – attending school and spending time with friends. We talked to three Dublin teens about their health and how they cope.

MARK BURKHOLDERAll of Mark Burkholder’s friends

from Dublin Jerome High School are at college. Mark would like to be attending college, too, but right now he spends most of his days at home with his parents or at an adult day program in Sunbury.

Mark was a popular, athletic 16-year-old when an accident changed his life forever. In August 2010, Mark was riding a long board while holding onto the back of a moving car when he fell and hit his head. Initially, the injury ap-peared to be just a severe con-cussion, but afterward, his brain swelled and he had severe compli-cations – including the near failure of his liver.

“He had to learn to eat, walk, talk, everything,” says Mark’s moth-er, Toni.

“I still can’t snap,” says Mark, slowly. The traumatic brain injury to his frontal lobe has left him with lasting effects to his judgment, im-pulsivity, focus, short-term memory and control of his right side. A cast

on his left hand is meant to encour-age him to use his right side, hope-fully regaining some of the lost function through practice.

“It’s been a real adjustment,” Toni says. “He did graduate from Dub-lin Jerome High School this past June. Originally I thought he was going to be going to college and playing lacrosse.”

Mark, now 19, went back to school in February 2011 accom-panied by an aide. He was in mainstream classes until his issues with impulse control became a problem for classmates and teach-ers. After that, he was moved to special needs classrooms for some of his courses and one-on-one tu-toring for others. His senior year, he did hands-on job training in the copy center and the school store. He hopes to attend college in the future, possibly accompanied by an aide, Toni says.

Now Mark’s day starts fairly early, often around 5 a.m.; like many TBI patients, he doesn’t sleep very well.

In December 2008, eighth-grader Grayson Willson started feeling sick. She lost about 30 pounds in a month – but didn’t think too much of it. Then, after winter break, she vomited without any apparent reason.

“I was feeling under the weather, and it was either going to school or going to the doctor,” says Willson, the second of Frank and Lisa Willson’s three daughters. Frank Willson is vice president of marketing at AEP Energy.

The urine test the doctor performed on Grayson came back filled with sugar.

“They told me to pack my bag. I was going to the hospital. I’m a diabetic.”

Willson was introduced to a new way of life – carting around testing supplies, insulin and sugary snacks, just in case.

“I had to grow up a lot sooner than a lot of my friends. I was suddenly in control of my life and my health, and a lot of people aren’t thinking about that at age 13,” she says.

Now 18, the Jerome alumna is at-tending Ohio University and studying to become a speech therapist.

“I kind of got into the whole ‘helping people’ idea,” she says.

After her diagnosis, she began volun-teering with Miracle League and in the Children’s Clubhouse at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, a place for siblings of patients to play.

“I would say I’m a lot more appre-ciative of what I have (now),” Grayson says. “Before I got diagnosed, I kind of took things for granted. After I was diagnosed, I started volunteering more and (being thankful) for the people that I have in my life.”

Grayson will soon get an implanted glucose sensor to monitor her blood sugar, which she anticipates will help her maintain her blood sugar at opti-mal levels.

“It’s not perfect. It’s definitely been a rough journey,” she says.

“We go through the breakfast routine exactly the same way every morning to keep him on a schedule,” Toni says.

Mark can get up, eat breakfast, brush his teeth and dress himself. Monday through Friday, he attends Dreamshine at Autumn Lakes in Sunbury, which pro-vides vocational and life and indepen-dent living skills. Recently, he’s begun tutoring some of the other attendees in speech therapy.

And the learning doesn’t stop there. When he gets home, he’ll spend some time doing occupational or physical therapy exercises or using the computer programs Lumosity or Fast ForWord, which are designed to improve cogni-tive performance.

He still has an extensive vocabulary. It just takes him a little longer to get the words out. The most frustrating thing for him is memory issues: not being able to recall exactly what happened, Toni says.

“Our goal is to be independent, right?” she says, looking to Mark, who nods.

GRAYSON WILLSON

I would say I’m a lot more appreciative

of what I have (now). Before I got diagnosed, I kind of took things for

For Clare Wilsbacher, 16, being active used to mean dance lessons at BalletMet’s Dance Academy six days a week. Now she walks the trails through Dublin to get her exercise.

Physical activity is important for Clare, who was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis two years ago.

“Staying active keeps your joints and ten-dons working. So even though I can’t dance, I do Pilates, yoga, walking, even marching band. Just staying active is the most important thing,” Clare says. “Just this past week during exams, I had to sit down and study for hours on end. Same with the tests – for an hour and a half. Afterwards I’m very stiff, and I walk like an old lady.”

A twinge in her hip during dance was the first sign of any problem. Next came a dislo-cated knee, which, after a year of physical therapy, revealed a benign tumor behind her kneecap, leading to surgery. Eventually, the physical therapist referred Clare to a rheuma-tologist, who looked at her family medical his-tory – she has an aunt with psoriatic arthritis – and made a diagnosis.

“It sort of fit me perfectly,” Clare says of the description of her aunt’s history of the disease. Psoriatic arthritis differs from rheumatoid arthritis in that it is asymmetri-cal; one knee or hip or shoulder will hurt more than the one on the opposite side.

Since her diagnosis, she’s had to stop dancing. Instead she’s focused on march-ing band and German Club. Clare has been saxophone section leader in the Dublin Jerome Marching Band for the last two years, a rarity for sophomores. An International Baccalaureate student, she was also president of German Club last year and co-president this year. And she’ll be participating in The Friendship Connection exchange program, visiting Germany this summer.

A 504 Plan through the school district allows certain accommodations, includ-ing an upper locker – bending down to access a lower locker would be prob-lematic – and an extra set of textbooks

for home so she doesn’t have to carry them back and forth to school.

The drugs Clare takes to prevent joint damage, stave off flare-ups and mitigate her daily pain make her more susceptible to illnesses. When she had the flu last year, it was for 20 days instead of 10.

“Even though I have pain every day, it’s just what I’m used to at this point,” Clare says. “I’m a lifelong planner. ... I was always planning on pursuing a ca-reer in dance. Once I hit that major in-jury that started the ball rolling, I thought, ... ‘What else can I do?’”

The nuclear disaster following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in 2011 sparked her interest.

“Ever since then, I’ve been really fo-cused on nuclear engineering,” she says.

“It’s a lovely place to live, that’s why we chose it,” he says. “We just got lucky with the Irish theme. It makes it very hom-ey. You can tell there is a genuine inter-est and it gets people curious about the culture of Ireland.”

The Ireland native has noticed similari-ties and differences between his home-town and the City of Dublin.

“Irish people are very loving,” he says. “They really want to help people, and you really notice that in the community. It’s a behavior you wouldn’t find any-where else.”

That Irish charm is one of the things that led Natalie, a Maumee, Ohio na-tive, to marry Brendan in 2012. The

couple met while she was in Ireland for a friend’s wedding in 2010.

“It was the three American girls and three Irish boys on this road trip,” Nata-lie says. “We spent a weekend at this tiny, dot-on-the-map town. It was such a wonderful time that we had to stay in contact.”

“I came over here to visit and then she came over there to visit,” Brendan adds. “That continued for a bit, so we decided to marry, and I made the move over.”

Since the move, Brendan says his morning commute is the biggest change.

“Going to work for me is a 20-mile trip, but traveling 20 miles where I’m from would be insane,” Brendan says.

“Nobody would go that far. The max people travel is about 10 miles.”

When it comes to weather, the unpre-dictable nature of Ohio is the opposite of Shankill.

“It’s nice to have seasons, but I wish winter was shorter,” Brendan says. “In Ireland, our weather stays basically the same all year round. Winter will some-times reach low 30s, maybe even high 20s. Our summers, they don’t get that hot – 65 (degree days) are beach and barbecue days.”

And speaking of barbecue, the indige-nous Irishman has noticed a discrepancy in how U.S. citizens eat.

“The Irish have a very plain palate compared to Americans,” he says. “Con-diments are everywhere here. We have so many choices to put on our food.”

Washing down a meal with a nice pint is a complicated issue for Brendan.

“I miss the Guinness the most,” he says. “The breweries around the world will use ingredients closest to them, so they’re not using the Irish wheat and

WHEN BRENDAN AND Natalie Smyth posed for engage-ment photos at a pub in Dublin, Ireland, they had no idea their marriage would take them 3,570 miles away to a town with a familiar name.

Brendan was born and raised in Shankill, Dublin, Ireland and now spends his time with his wife in Dublin, Ohio.

Irish-born Brendan Smyth married his Ohio-born wife, Natalie, in 2012. Natalie is the shopkeeper of the Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams Scoop Shop in Historic Dublin.

water. It’s such a sensitive drink and it takes on flavor of whatever it is in.”

Brendan works for Miller Pipe-line and Natalie is the shopkeeper at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, making her a corporate resident of Dublin.

She has hosted an ice cream social for a Dublin Jerome High School special needs class and helped design “The Leinster” – an Irish-themed ice cream treat – in honor of The Presidents Cup held in Dublin in 2013. She also helped Jeni’s win a 2013 Living the Irish Attitude Award for its embodiment of Irish culture and attitude.

“We’re one of the cornerstones of Historic Dublin,” she says of the shop, which is at the southwest corner of High and Bridge streets. “We try to participate in every-

thing and work with the schools when we can. After all, everybody loves ice cream.”

The couple can be found around Dublin, shopping at their favorite store, Ha’penny Bridge Imports of Dublin, or having a drink at the Dublin Village Tavern.

“The bartenders know him, and they know what he likes to drink; it really has that Irish pub feel,” Natalie says.

When there are sports on TV, Brendan says he has no compul-sion to cheer for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

“I’m a Buckeye, and that’s just the way it is,” he says.

Leprechauns: “Irish people don’t like the whole leprechaun thing. No one would ever talk about one in Ireland unless they are an American tourist.”

Gaelic Language: “Gaelic is Irish for Irish, but they just call it Irish. Any official document or sign has to be in Irish and English. Only about 6 percent speak Irish, even though they have to learn it in school.”

FORMER DUBLIN COFFMAN High School football quarterback Chad Jen-kins catches us up on his life since gradu-ation – playing college football, fighting a war and starting his own company.

Dublin Life: When did you live in Dublin?Chad Jenkins: I grew up in Dublin. I was born in 1979 and I lived there until I was 17 years old when I graduated from high school. My wife was born at her parents’ house right off of Dublin Road. We’re both Dublin, Ohio natives through and through. My mom and dad and two sisters still live in Dublin.

DL: Where did you attend school and when did you graduate?CJ: I went to Dublin Coffman. (Dublin) Scioto (High School) wasn’t finished yet; that split happened my sophomore year. I graduated in 1997. I played football and lacrosse.

DL: Where did you attend college?CJ: I was recruited by West Point to play football (quar-terback) my senior year of high school. Army had a pretty good football team that year. I went to the United States Military Academy Preparatory School for a year and then on to West Point. Typically that’s not the right reason to go to the Academy, but over the five years I had at West Point, I fell in love with the military and all the values that it instills in you.

DL: Why did you decide on West Point over other colleges?CJ: I’ve never really been a long-term planner. I’m more of a “seize the moment” type, which probably drives my wife (Emily Jenkins, née Kiehborth) a little crazy. At the same time, I knew after graduating from West Point I had five years in the Army to do Army stuff, to do macho stuff. To a 17-year-old high school kid that’s appealing. It gives you a time to mature, but you’re still given leadership roles. Suc-cessful companies like to pluck military grads and put them in the pipeline for their leadership positions. It was kind of a great fit for me, really, because it made the decision (about what to do with my life) for me.

DL: What have you been up to since college?CJ: I graduated from West Point in 2002, and then I had five years of active duty service in the Army. I served four de-ployments to Iraq when I was in the army. I was an infantry officer – so that is leading your ground troops in combat — and within the infantry I ran a yearlong deployment with the 10th Mountain Division, and then I had three more deploy-ments with the 75th Ranger Regiment, 2nd Battalion.

In 2007, we moved back to Powell for about two years, and then I went ahead and joined the FBI. The FBI is how we got to Florida. We moved here in 2009, and I worked out of the West Palm Beach office. My focus was counterterrorism I was part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force. I recently departed the FBI and started my own security business, the Jenkins Group. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son.

Subject of All American: Two Young Men, the 2001 Army-Navy Game and the War They Fought in Iraq by Steve Eubanks

Chad Jenkins

where a re t hey now? WITH LISA AURAND

Photo by Diane Spagnuolo Photography


DL: How did you get involved in the book All American: Two Young Men, the 2001 Army-Navy Game and the War They Fought in Iraq?CJ: The author, Steve Eubanks, is a journalist. He covers college football and golf … and he wanted to cover one Army football player and one Navy football player. There are plenty of war books, … but he wanted to kind of capture a college football scene and then going into the military. He sought out both academies’ athletic depart-ments to help him determine who his subjects would be and I was contacted by the Army Athletic Association to see if I would be the Army subject.

DL: What kind of attention have you received since the book’s release in October?

CJ: There have been interviews – live radio interviews on The Dennis Miller Show. NPR news covered the story as well leading up to this year’s Army-

Navy game. Steve, the author, does a lot more interviews. He’s a great guy. It’s now in print, so there’s no hiding. It’s all a matter of perspective. There are several who I served with who are still in the military, the ones who continue to willingly do so. There’s too much of me in the book and not enough of them.

DL: What did you like about living in Dublin?CJ: I love Dublin. It’s a great atmosphere to grow up in. You don’t appreciate it until you leave, you realize, ‘Wow, I was so lucky and fortunate to grow up there.’ And once I departed and lived all over the country, I really then truly appreciated where I came from. Jupiter, Fla. (where I live now) has very similar values and atmosphere to Dublin. ... We fell in love with it, and I think it’s because it reminds us quite a bit of Dub-lin. We’re fortunate that we’ve found a location so similar to Dublin down here in Jupiter.

Their three children – ages 26, 24 and 22 – had left home and they were spending a lot of time en-tertaining their friends. Leslie noticed a problem dur-ing their frequent dinner parties.

“We’re empty-nesters and now that the kids are out of the house, we have a group of friends that we like to get together with regularly,” Leslie says. “We realized that we all huddle in the kitchen and nobody leaves. I said to Bruce, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a more spacious kitchen that is conducive to entertaining?’”

Empty-nesters Leslie and Bruce Duff remodeled their kitchen, which is now an advantage in hosting their frequent dinner parties.

SUPER Sized

The couple talked it over and decided they wanted to stay in the home at least another 10 years, so remodeling made sense to them.

“We love our neighborhood, we love our location and we just didn’t want to leave Dublin,” Leslie says. “We’re home-bodies by nature. We’d much rather eat

a steak and a baked potato at home than go out. We looked at our lifestyle and realized we’d probably use it a lot.”

Their original idea was to knock out the wall of the dining room to make a larger kitchen, but, with the help of Dave Fox Design Consultant Steve Dempsey, they came up with a plan that involved

the entire rear of the house, including the family room.

The small-ish project they initially planned on quickly snowballed.

“We said, ‘Do we want to just reface the cabinets and get granite counter-tops?’ Then we said, ‘We really don’t like the low ceilings and we don’t like the

lighting.’ … One thing led to another, as it usually does in remodels,” Leslie says.

The remodel they ended up with has become a showpiece for Dave Fox, even appearing on the 2013 NARI Home Im-provement Showcase tour.

“It was a classic case of the dining room in the back of the house and the kitchen in the middle back of the house,” Dempsey says. “They just wanted to make the kitchen bigger and more useful for entertaining. We removed the laun-dry room and moved it to another spot, which allowed them to have more of a mudroom/laundry room. … I was able to come up with a design that really fit what they wanted to do.”

Removing the dining room wall and us-ing that space to expand the kitchen was the biggest change. They converted the old, seldom-used living room on the front of the house into a formal dining room.

Moving the laundry room allowed the entrance to the family room to be opened

wide enough that the fireplace is visible from the kitchen, which was Bruce’s goal, Leslie says. Hardwood floors throughout help connect the spaces.

One of the couple’s priorities was blending the remodel in with the rest of the house, which was built in 1982. New maple-stained cabinets kept the home’s original feel.

“Though it’s an update, I don’t think it’s too updated for the rest of the house,” Leslie says.

The low soffits, which made the room feel smaller, were removed to make the standard 8-foot ceiling seem higher. Can lights add brightness to the space without adding bulky fixtures.

“In-home lighting is something big that our company works on to get rid of shad-ows and dark spots,” Dempsey says.

Leslie says she appreciated that Dave Fox worked to reuse some of the origi-nal elements of the home, including doors and trim. Some of the kitchen

“We try not to waste anything,” Dempsey says. “What the homeowner doesn’t use we donate to Habitat for Humanity.”

The Duffs are thrilled with the results.“We live in the back of the house now.

Their friends have admired the results, and some are planning their own remod-eling projects as a result, she says.

FORMER DUBLIN MAYOR Tim Leck-lider went to a St. Patrick’s Day parade last year, but it wasn’t the same, by a long shot.

He was in Dublin, Ireland, rather than Dublin, Ohio, and the parade in that historic city isn’t like the one at home, Lecklider says.

Lecklider, a 12-year city councilman, and his wife, Sharon, who is of Irish de-scent, were guests of the city that’s the reputed center of the annual historic obser-vance. It was the first time as a public of-ficial Lecklider had missed Dublin, Ohio’s celebration, which has been dubbed “The Greenest, Grandest Parade.”

He joined mayors and administrators of municipalities named Dublin from California, Georgia, Pennsylvania and

New Hampshire for the traditional three-day celebration in Ireland.

“The Gathering of Dublins” was in-tended to promote tourism, “encourag-ing people from all over the world to visit, especially if they had Irish ancestors or relatives there,” Lecklider says, as well

as perhaps leading to cultural, economic and educational exchanges.

Host Lord Mayor Naoise O’Muiri greeted the mayors upon their arrival. After a tour of the historic city hall, the mayor hosted a social gathering in the historic Guinness Storehouse.

O’Muiri, an engineer, had been elect-ed by the city council to the traditional one-year term the Lord Mayor serves, a practice that dates to the 1200s. The honorary title gave him the right to live in the official residence, the Mansion House, during his term. O’Muiri, whom Lecklider says was in his 40s and the father of three younger children, was the group’s “almost … constant com-panion.”

A Tale of Two CitiesDublin mayor visited City’s Irish namesake for St. Patrick’s Day

By DUANE ST. CLAIr

Before the traditional parade, thou-sands of citizens marched along the route as part of the celebration that draws participants from across the coun-try, Lecklider says.

For the parade, the visiting delega-tion was stationed immediately behind a four-person color guard that led off. “It was a position of prominence” to walk just in front of the ornate, hand-carved, horse-drawn carriage in which O’Muiri and his family rode. After a short walk, the contingent joined its host and other officials on the reviewing stand.

The approximately two-hour parade had five large bands, including the Pur-due University marching band and its iconic bass drum, so large it’s a wheeled carriage. There were smaller bands from various parts of Ireland and some neigh-boring countries. Marchers wore garb that reflected their region or historical aspects of the country, Lecklider says.

There were a couple units he described as “float-like” that had historic themes, but the parade had no “fire trucks or pickup truck” conveyances that are famil-iar sights at parades in America.

Lecklider notes that the official theme color for St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland is blue, not green, in contrast to U.S. tradi-tion. “The cultural aspects of their parade are what is seen at our Irish Festival,” he observes.

Lecklider said his post-parade activi-ties included a luncheon with his group and city councilors. They took a walking tour of parts of the city and in the eve-ning, “we were treated to what was like a state dinner” in the mansion, he says.

The next day they traveled to Belfast in Northern Ireland and the neighboring

This year’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration gets under way at 7 a.m. on Saturday, March 15, beginning with the traditional Lions Club pancake breakfast at Sells Middle School on West Bridge Street in Historic Dublin. During the morning, Irish entertainment will be on stage in the city’s show mobile at the neighboring In-dian Run Elementary School.

At 9:30 a.m. in Metro Center, the Inflation Celebration gets underway as five to seven balloons are inflated with helium in preparation for the 90-minute trek, says Trish Lackey, parade man-ager. A top hat balloon, reflecting Irish heritage and traditional attire for lepre-

chauns, will be the first of about 110 parade units, including bands from the three Dublin high schools.

The parade steps off at 11 a.m. from Metro Center and goes north on Frantz Road, east on Bridge Street and south on High Street until it disbands. The city estimates the parade draws 20,000 spectators.

For the remainder of the day, res-taurants and taverns will have various Irish-themed events and menu items. Businesses are expected to offer sale prices, says Mary Jo DiSalvo, the city’s events manager.

city of Armagh. On this day-long journey, the visitors were treated as Irish lord may-ors, sporting traditional large gold chain necklaces with medallions reflecting their hometowns. The mayor of Dublin, Calif., already had one he had received from his community’s sister city, Bray, Ireland.

After their three days in Dublin, the Leckliders were on their own and rented a car to tour. They stopped in a ceme-tery in Piltown in County Kilkenny, where Sharon’s ancestors had lived, and by co-incidence found the graves of her great-great-grandparents – a bit of Irish luck, perhaps.

During the trip, they saw other con-nections to home; Dublin is home of the Ha’penny Bridge – after which Ha’penny Bridge Imports is named – and in Kilkenny, they found a pub called Matt the Millers.

In the future, Lecklider believes Dublin, Ohio could host other Dublin mayors, perhaps during the Irish Festival. And perhaps a sister-city relationship with an Irish municipality could be arranged to facilitate cultural or even educational ex-changes. Though he hasn’t pushed either idea, Lecklider hopes both are eventu-ally considered as Dublin Ohio’s tradi-tions evolve.

A Smart Start

Recently I spoke to a holistic health coach who answered my questions, cleared up some misconceptions and even gave me some new recipes to try. Health Coach Sheila Gibbons (www. herehealthyhappy.com) of Dublin helps people who want or need to lose weight, lower their cholesterol or blood pressure, increase their energy, or change a life-time of bad food habits.

Immediately I think of my grandmother slathering every sandwich with butter and my mother doing the same with mayon-naise. I also remember trading food un-der the table with my brothers. I hated potatoes and we had them at almost ev-ery meal in my Irish household, so I would push the spuds onto Kevin’s or Sean’s

plate and pull their vegetables onto mine. Sheila gathers a health history of her cli-ents now and from their childhood. She asks how often they eat out versus cook at home and what their goals are, working with her clients to formulate eating and exercise plans that are not about dieting or counting calories.

“We start with small, short-term goals such as trying a new green vegetable, drinking more water, switching out white flour for whole grains or just getting to bed earlier,” says Sheila. “And I hold ev-eryone accountable by calling, texting or emailing a few times a week to check on them, answer questions and maybe provide a few new recipes.”

Clients commit to three or six months of coaching, and Sheila goes through their

pantries and refrigerators and educates them while grocery shopping. Sheila and I walked through Kroger, discussed healthy alternatives for items on my shop-ping list and bought supplies for an or-ganic chicken and rice soup. I cooked it that night and my family declared it one of the best soups I’ve ever made.

Are organic foods worth the extra money? Food labeling laws dictate that “organic” in regard to animal products means the animals were not given any antibiotics or growth hormones, were only fed with organic feed and are not administered medication aside from vaccinations or to treat an illness. Fruits and vegetables that are labeled “or-ganic” are grown without pesticides or fertilizers with synthetic ingredients and do not receive irradiation treatment. The fertilizer is also natural, and seeds and transplants are chemical-free.

“Obviously it’s smart to reduce your ex-posure to pesticides, but buying organic also sends a message that you support environmentally friendly farming prac-tices that protect water, soil quality and wildlife,” says Sheila. “Also, the flavor

Health coach shares tips for nutritious mealsSTANDING IN THE natural food section of the grocery store, I stare at bags of faro, flax and chia and wonder what on earth I’m supposed to do with that stuff. Other times I question whether it’s really necessary to pay extra for organic food. And should we drink cow milk, nut milk or soy milk? I worry if my family is getting enough greens and if my vegetar-ian daughter has enough protein. I want to make the right food choices, but there are seem to be endless possibilities. Add in a tight time-table with work, school and sports schedules, and I feel totally confused!

is great and if you can support local farms, that’s even better.”

Organic food costs more because organic farming is more labor-intensive, the yield is smaller and the products have a shorter shelf life as the produc-ers don’t use preservatives. Hopefully, the more the public demands food grown and raised without chemicals, the more the larger companies will back it – pushing prices down.

In the meantime, Sheila recommends buying local and organic when it comes to the Dirty Dozen Plus, the 12-plus most contaminated fruits and veg-etables according to the Environmental Working Group: apples, celery, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes, hot pep-pers, nectarines (imported), peaches, potatoes, spinach, strawberries, sweet bell peppers, kale/collard greens and summer squash.

Here are a few more helpful hints to guide you in your quest for health:

• Choose deep, dark colors when se-lecting vegetables; use kale, spinach or arugula instead of iceberg lettuce.

• Shop the outside perimeter of the store; you will find healthful alternatives and fewer carbohydrates and sugars.

• Choose fruits and veggies that are in season to get them at peak flavor and their lowest price. Some of the best fruits to buy in winter are oranges, tan-gerines, kiwi, passionfruit, dates and pears.

• Avoid buying low-fat or fat-free products; generally when the fat is removed, sugar is added. For ex-ample, buy plain whole milk Greek yogurt and add your own honey, fruit and granola to it instead of eating fruit-flavored, non-fat yogurt that is high in sugar.

• Give almond milk a try. It’s better for many people’s diges-tive systems, free of hormones found in dairy milk and has 50 percent more calcium. My kids like unsweetened vanilla almond milk in their cereal.

• Make smoothies. I use frozen fruit, Greek yogurt, papaya nectar and almond milk. You can slip in kale and flax seeds for added benefit.

• Choose non-sugary snacks. If you eat sugar, your body will crave sugar. If you eat fruits and veggies, your body will crave them more. -CD
