Musical MenagerieLibrary brings in local bands for its live music series

Live music is no stranger at the Upper Arlington Public Li-brary. More than 30 years ago, the library hosted a popular music series focused on classical music with a touch of rock and pop.

But in 2009, the library suffered substantial budget cuts, forcing it to close on Friday evenings – which was when the shows were held. The series was canceled.

But after last year’s successful reintroduction, Community Engagement Specialist Jennifer Faure says, the music series is back in full swing.

On Jan. 8, the library will begin a five-part mu-sic series that highlights local talent.

“We really enjoyed it, and we had great feed-back from everybody who attended, so we knew that we wanted to bring the series back again,” says Faure.

Although it was a cold and icy winter, Faure says, the library’s Friends Theater al-ways filled up.

It wasn’t easy picking only five bands this year, she says.

“There are so many talented bands in Columbus,” she says. “But we started by looking at some that play a dif-ferent kind of music than we focused on last year, and we started inviting them.”

Attendees will see one familiar face with the return of the Saturday Giant, a one-man band that Faure says was a favorite last year. Frontman Phil Cogley uses technology to loop music, produc-ing a unique solo act.

“I had several requests to invite him back,” she says.

All performances start at 7 p.m in the Upper Arlington Public Li-brary’s Friends Theater, 2800 Tremont Rd. The performances are free and open to the community.

Streetlights have been a mainstay of communities from the days of lamp-lighters attending to gas streetlights.

Though Marble Cliff has never had gas lights during its 113-year exis-tence, its original electric streetlight system, once owned by American Electric Power, dates to the mid-20th Century. The system has had few updates over the years and many re-pairs. Wiring and fixtures have deteri-orated, some beyond repair, causing street and sidewalk safety concerns.

Hence, the Village has begun a com-prehensive update of its electric street-light system to take advantage of today’s technological advances in streetlighting efficiency and effectiveness.

With no financial assessment to property owners, the Village plans to completely replace its system of 79 street-level streetlights, bury all wires underground in conduit and install two centralized light controllers. Overhead lights in the Village that are the property of AEP will not be changed. The project’s completion is estimated for 2015-2016.

Phase 1 of the streetlight project in the Village’s Fifth Av-enue business district and on Fernwood Avenue is complete. It included installation of electrical wire conduit and 16 new streetlights with LED fixtures. The improvements take advantage of new, energy-efficient LED technologies that use less energy, reducing energy costs. Wires in conduit connected to new central light controllers, rather than individual light sensors, should reduce repair and maintenance costs and improve the system’s reliability.

LED bulbs use less energy and can be directed more ac-curately toward sidewalks and streets, diminishing the annoy-ance of ambient light shining into homes. In pre-installation tests, residents told Village officials that the LED bulbs, though brighter, shed a “softer” white light than the old “pink” mercury-vapor bulbs.

The new streetlights are a “Village-like” design and are painted black in keeping with the Village’s effort to establish

a consistent look and feel for its visible public service equipment, including new black-and-white street name signs and newly painted fire hydrants. Com-pletion of Phase 1 this past fall pro-vides the Village with the opportunity to evaluate the changes made to the system before undertaking the more comprehensive Phase 2 in the Village.

“We feel it is important to have a de-pendable, Village-wide streetlight system to maintain a safe environment for our property owners and those who walk and cycle our Village,” said Mayor Kent Studebaker. “Plus, we should experience lower maintenance and energy costs. Everyone should benefit.”

faces Story and photos by Stephan Reed

For Dean Marcellana, the martial arts are more about philosophy than the fight.

For 21 years, Marcellana – also a profes-sional pianist – has practiced the art of Filipino stick fighting, also known as Eskrima and Arnis.

This knowledge has allowed him to teach various self-defense classes in his home city of Grandview Heights and walk with a sense of confidence, knowing he can defend himself if necessary.

“My main goal is to promote peace – for yourself, for your family,” he says. “Peace isn’t the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with conflict. You make situations work for you, whether you’re in the best part of town or the worst. If you’re in a potential altercation with someone, and if you have to go, you go hard. If you can walk away, then you walk away.”

Rhythmic motions and the use of weapons act as a signature for Marcellana’s combat specialty.

“Eskrima is the most logi-cal form of dirty street fight-ing,” he says. “It’s all about one-upping your opponent and making sure that, if someone comes at you, they’re not going to come back at you again.”

This sentiment is passed on through the lessons he teaches. Instead of going for a knockout blow to an aggressor’s head, he says, target a foundation area, such as the foot or a knee. Keeping distance from an attacker is important, but these target areas can be easily reached when using a household item-turned-weapon, such as a frying pan.

“Even if (the attacker is), hypotheti-cally, on something, like bath salts, you can take out the foundation,” Marcel-

lana says. “It may not be felt, but the person will not be able to come at you. I was taught that 12 pounds of force per square inch is enough to knock the knee out of place. I don’t know the complete

accuracy of that, but you can easily take out a knee.”

While his knowledge of self-defense is great, his ability to avoid physical con-frontation is even greater.

Bahala Na Multi-Style is the Eskrima studio at which Dean Marcellana trained in California in the 1990s.

“Honestly, I’ve never been in a serious physical altercation, and I hope it stays that way,” Marcel-lana says. “Things can go wrong within seconds during a fight. I’ve had students who work in the pris-on system and law enforcement agencies. They have stories in which they had to resort to physi-cal combat, and they couldn’t risk pulling out a firearm.”

Throughout his career, Marcel-lana has won competitions at the Arnold Sports Festival as well as at the Battle of Columbus, part of the World Martial Arts Games, but he insists those accolades can be deceiving.

“Everyone has their medals and trophies,” he says. “You have to separate sport and real life. My grandmaster, one of the deadli-est people I know, was only 5’3” and was a decorated war veter-an. He never won a tournament. All his battle was legitimate. He had to take lives to save his own in World War II.”

A trophy room full of medals becomes empty if you cannot defend yourself in real-life sce-narios, he says.

The yantok, a rattan stick, is the most common weapon in Eskrima. Here, Marcellana demonstrates the sticks’ use on a heavy bag.

“I truly want to

teach my family

to grow and

learn. I want

them to find

their own way to

empowerment.”

Page 15: Tri-Village Magazine January/February 2015

15January/February 2015 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

“An award is just a piece of hard-ware,” Marcellana says. “It doesn’t de-fine who you are or what you’re capable of. Just because you won a fight doesn’t mean you’re going to come out and sur-vive some severe situations. There’s the game, and then there’s life.”

The combat specialist respects both the philosophies of the fighting style and its history.

During the Spanish occupation of the Filipino islands, the conquistadors were met with a resistance movement by the native people. The Spanish called the un-familiar way of fighting “Eskrima,” mean-ing “skirmish.”

“During the Spanish Inquisition, they tried to ban the martial arts,” Marcellana says. “The invaders burned the books. They didn’t want (the natives) to have a connection to their past identity. But then the Filipino natives made up these dances that were actually combat training. And they had costumes with elaborate de-signs; that was their alphabet. They were disguising literature for the martial arts.”

His piano-playing career started when he was 9 living in Delano, Calif., while his Eskrima endeavors began after his un-

dergraduate years at the University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music in Stock-ton, Calif.

“I knew there was a large martial arts community there,” Marcellana says. “At the time, I was taking a classical Chinese/Japanese style of fighting that translates to ‘the hand of the beautiful spirit.’ My sen-sei said, ‘Dean, you’re Filipino. Have you talked to any of the other Filipinos here?’ That was my introduction.”

The one-two punch of physical motion and music keeps Marcellana’s spirits

high. When one area is neglected, he feels the effects throughout other parts of his life.

“The two go hand in hand,” he says. “If I feel physically relaxed, it’s easier for me to create. If something is raining down on me or af-fecting me emotion-ally, I feel tight physi-cally. I’m not able to be as free or as loose while sparring or teaching.”

A freelance musi-cian, Marcellana pri-marily performs on the

piano and keyboard solo and in groups. He attended the Boston Conservatory, where he met his now-wife, Jennifer, who is a Grandview native. The couple have two children.

“I truly want to teach my family to grow and learn,” he says. “I want them to find their own way to empowerment.”

Once the “fight or flight” response kicks in, quick thinking and muscle memory can be integral to getting

yourself out of a dangerous situation. Luckily, women have the opportunity

to train their bodies and minds to prop-erly react to conflict through a variety of self-defense classes offered in the area.

The city of Upper Arlington has of-fered women’s self-defense classes for many years, says Matt Petty, an officer with the Upper Arlington Police Depart-ment. The class is generally offered in the spring and is popular with women who are preparing to enter college, though Petty says women of all ages take the class.

“No one gets turned away,” Petty says.Instructors try to work around any phys-

ical limitations the students may have. The focus is on identifying strengths.

Classes total 9-12 hours and are broken up over a few days. The first three hours are spent in the classroom, learning about risk reduction strategies. From there, students learn and practice a variety of self-defense methods, in-cluding strikes, kicks and making fists to punch properly.

Toward the end of this hands-on train-ing, students learn how to get out of chokeholds, bear hugs and wrist grabs, placing emphasis on disengaging from the conflict to seek help.

“There’s no foolproof move that is going to immobilize your opponent,” Petty says.

For the last three hours, Petty and his students go through different scenarios that mimic altercations without actually putting

anyone in danger. Petty tries to raise the intensity level at this point by taking the students out of their comfort zones.

“We try to instill confidence and power building,” he says.

In one scenario, an instructor might pose as an assailant and try to grab a student’s arm as she walks by. They might also roleplay an ATM scenario, where an attack is made from behind. In another situation, a student might pretend to be on her cell phone.

In all cases, Petty says students prac-tice what they’ve learned.

Self-defense classes are also offered at Upper Arlington Jiu Jitsu, where train-ers similarly emphasize the importance of muscle memory.

“To get that, you need to put in a lot of reps,” says Tom Feister, one of the owners.

For the past three years, Feister’s wife, Kathy, has taught a one-hour women’s self-defense class at 6 p.m. every Thursday. The program teaches practical defense methods instead of the athletic training more typical of jiu-jitsu. The Feisters say students of vari-ous ages and fitness levels attend.

Though the class was started as a six-month revolving curriculum, it is open for drop-in students, Tom says. Cost is $60 per month. Physical tech-niques include protecting the body from punches and other physical at-tacks. Students learn methods to free themselves from someone much larger on top of them.

“We try to look at the real-life con-text,” Kathy says.

Many scenarios focus on situations in which the attacker might try to take the victim to another location. Because of the intensity of the practice, participants can have the freedom to decide what level of physical activity they find to be comfortable. In some cases, a student

could become effectively paralyzed by fear, halting the class.

Kathy experienced that feeling first-hand during a class when her husband was demonstrating a chokehold on her from behind. Though the action was done in a controlled manner, Kathy felt panic begin to cloud her mental state.

“I just began to shut down,” she says. That visceral response, she says,

highlighted the importance of practic-ing the defense methods over and over.

The class focuses on teaching students how to make their opponents use more energy than they do, Tom says. Students

“If you can stack your strengths against someone’s weaknesses,

you’re still going to come out ahead in the game. Maybe you are

smaller; maybe you are not as strong, but there are things that you

can do where you can tip the game into your favor.”—Dean Marcellana, instructor

are taught how to perform chokeholds, shoulder locks and armbars.

“We try to make sure that every stu-dent has a good strategy for self de-fense,” Tom says.

A similar goal exists across disciplines.Though Dean Marcellana trains indi-

viduals in Filipino martial arts at Colum-bus Health Works on West Fifth Avenue, he sometimes teaches informal, private defense methods for family or friends. Though his small groups are usually mixed in terms of gender, Marcellana has many tips for women. In February, he will share some of his knowledge during a free women’s self-defense class at the Grandview Public Library.

In the past, when Marcellana taught at the Grandview Heights Public Li-brary, women took his class for vari-ous reasons. Some had been harassed. Some had restrain-ing orders against people. Others just wanted to learn something different.

Marcellana de-scribes his ap-proach as “ortho-dox” street fighting, and his purpose is to maximize his stu-dents’ strengths for self-empowerment. Though a woman might be smaller than a male aggres-sor, she has various options to bring that person down. She could stomp on an attacker’s foot with the heel of her shoe, for example.

“Placed just the right way, the foot has so many bones that could be broken,” Marcellana says.

A woman could also kick and aim for the attacker’s knee. She could even punch a person’s throat, aim-ing for the windpipe.

“I try to teach them to become aware of

using (and) manipulating weapons of opportunity,” Marcellana says.

A pair of glasses or jewelry could even be used in self-defense. If some-one is in the kitchen, for example, a fry-ing pan or a can opener could become quick weapons.

“If you can stack your strengths against someone’s weaknesses, you’re still going to come out ahead in the game,” Marcellana says. “Maybe you are smaller; maybe you are not as strong, but there are things that you can do where you can tip the game into your favor.”

I f you’ve ever needed to organize a meeting in the Grandview Heights area, you likely know the

Grandview Heights Public Library has a meeting room and a conference room available for reservation.

What you might not know is how many organi-zations take advantage of the space.

Here are just a few of the groups that rely on the library for regular meet-ups.

Service with a SmileThe Grandview Civic Welfare Club has served the

Grandview community for 94 years. “Our goal is to do things in the community – to pro-

mote fellowship and community, and to be engaged in general welfare work,” says Nappy Hetzler, club vice president.

The club’s most popular event is its holiday luminary sale, held at the library. The money the sale raises, and money raised through donations and fundraising, goes to scholarships for Grandview Heights High School students. The club also administers a community fund and a Christmas fund to help community members in need.

“We will work with as many families as we have funds for,” says Hetzler.

The club meets monthly from September to May. For more information on meetings, email [email protected].

“We meet at GHPL because it’s a key part of the commu-nity, and we serve the community,” Hetzler says. “It makes sense to meet at one of the centers of community activity.”

All Bottled Up Milk bottles, ink bottles, soda bottles

– all are fair game for the Central Ohio Bottle Club.

The group meets on the last Thursday of each month and plans to use one of the library’s display cases to show off some members’ collections.

“The library has been so gracious to us during the years,” says Rojer Moody, club director.

Each meeting consists of bottle talk and an informative show-and-tell featur-ing members’ finds. One set of items that has enjoyed popularity among Co-lumbus collectors has been Peter Schille Soda Company bottles, made by a bot-tler in German Village for almost 100 years starting in the late 1800s.

Though it won’t happen at the library, the club’s 44th an-nual Columbus Bottle Show is Feb. 8 at the Doubletree Hilton Hotel in northwest Columbus.

Highlights will include a handful of displays, including a local milk bottle display, as well as collections of Columbus bottles and bottle paraphernalia. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own bottles.

Preserving HistoryThough it makes the area’s distant past its business, the

Grandview Heights Historical Society has some history of its own – it’s been active 40 years and meeting at the library for much of that time.

A Multitude of Meetings A look at some of the groups that gather regularly at the library

“We are in a partnership with the library,” says society Vice President Win Keller. “They gave us a room around 1980, and we’ve had that room to put our files and collections in. We have a story time in the library for peo-ple to come in and talk about their times and provide any old pictures or stories.”

Among the society’s endeav-ors are protecting historical sites, such as the Prescott Bush home and Lindenberg home. The so-ciety hosts a triennial historical home tour, keeps extensive re-cords of the area’s history and provides publications that can be picked up at the library.

“Our goals are much like other historical societies: to educate, promote and protect Grandview and Marble Cliff history,” says society President Tracy Liberatore.

The Society recently launched an online timeline that spans from the first settlers of the area in 1797 to present. The time-line can be found at www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/348060/Grandview-Heights-Timeline.

Getting on Track Train enthusiasts and advocates

unite at the Columbus chapter of All Aboard Ohio.

The chapter has been in operation since 1975, and the current group has met at the library for six years. About 30 members comprise the club, which meets the second Saturday of every month.

Its goal is to promote passenger rail ser-vice. The statewide organization’s current

goal is to help bring about a passenger line between Columbus and Chicago, a service that would cut travel time to about four hours, says Ken Prendergast, execu-tive director of All Aboard Ohio.

The group is also interested in a light rail line between Port Columbus International Airport and downtown Columbus. In addi-tion to its advocacy, the club gets together to share information, talk about trains and do rail trip reports and critiques.

“Our people who attend are from all walks of life,” says Larry Robertson, Co-lumbus coordinator for the group. “We have ex-railroad workers who still have a love for trains, teachers, engineers and a variety of people from all other fields.”

Baby BondingColumbus Babywearing has been pro-

viding support to mothers and caregivers in central Ohio since 2004.

The practice of “babywear-ing,” as the group defines it, involves using a sling or carrier on the body to transport a baby, hands-free. Meetings are held on the second Sunday and the third Wednesday of each month and are generally attended by regu-lars and caregivers who come for support with their own baby-wearing or to see demonstra-tions the group holds. All adults are welcome, as are babies and older children.

“Babywearing is a wonderful way for caregivers to bond with a child,” says Jennifer Lawson, a group leader. “The community as a whole is comprised of support-ive caregivers who end up form-ing friendships and organizing play dates with other children.”

There is also a Facebook page for those who wish to be a part of the babywearing community but live too far away to partici-pate, or who just want to keep up with the support and advice.

“We meet at the Grandview library because it’s free, some-

what central, and booking for group meetings is allowed six months in ad-vance,” Lawson says.

Patrick and Katie Heublein’s new Upper Arlington home is, in reality, not very new at all.

Though the house was built in 1968, it’s been almost completely reconstruct-

ed. The brick exterior walls are all that remain of the original house. The new version is white, twice as large and looks completely different, starting at the new concrete driveway.

The Heubleins’ and the builder’s stories weave an interesting tale about salvaging, designing and expanding that resulted in a 5,000-square-foot home instead of a dated, 2,500-square-foot

home with a two-story red brick pillared front porch on three-quarter acres on Chartwell Road, close to Lane Road.

Charming, attractive, impressive. Any and all might describe the painted white brick house with dormers and country-style porches — prominent architectural features that help subtly in-corporate an addition and a three-car garage to the rear.

The former Katie Will — who grew up “a couple blocks away,” she says, until her family moved when she was in eighth grade at St. Andrew Middle School – met her husband in Chi-cago, where she was working as commercial interior design architect. When she decided she wanted to go back home, they moved to a new build in Dublin’s Ballantrae neighborhood

Residence, RebornCouple’s 1968 house has undergone a thoroughly modern remodel

living By Duane St. Clair

The hall bath is just one of the rooms demonstrating the house’s “rustic industrial” theme.

The centerpiece of the family room is the white wood fireplace front and mantle surrounded by bookshelves.

in 2008. After the first two of their three sons arrived, thoughts turned to living in Upper Arlington.

That meant remodeling would be likely. Patrick, a commercial insurance salesman able to work from anywhere, met Troy Miller – owner of MillerTroyer Custom Homes, Amish Cabinetry and Remodeling – as Miller worked on his prize-winning BIA Parade of Homes entry in the Meadows at Lewis Center. It was designed to look like a reclaimed mill and featured Miller’s specialty, custom-built Amish cabinetry and woodwork.

The Heubleins bought the vacant UA

house, which had been on the market for several years, and turned to Miller for renovations.

The couple were involved in most aspects of the remodeling design, es-pecially Katie, who worked with ar-chitect Greg Miller of UA-based New Avenue Architects and Engineers on numerous finishing features throughout the home. Because of her architecture experience, she easily spoke the de-sign architect’s language.

Her input included custom cabi-nets and shelving that are prominent throughout, as well as color, lighting

The playroom was designed such that it can eventually be converted to a bedroom suite.

A 5- by 12-foot island with a twin sink anchors the kitchen.

and plumbing fixtures — selections that came from a long list of ideas.

In November 2013, Troy Miller start-ed on the seven-month project. It entailed removing all but one interior wall, all exterior-wall drywall, wiring, plumbing, heating and air conditioning; tearing off the tall porch roof; building a kitchen addition with an excavated basement; adding dormers and two fireplaces; and installing reclaimed wood floors, includ-ing an inlaid herringbone design in the foyer. All rooms upstairs and down are reconfigured or turned to new uses.

The original two-car garage is now the family room. The living room is now a study/library with a wall of custom shelves. The dining and family rooms are now the pub and hearth rooms.

The pub has a chair-height bar and back wall made of reclaimed Chicago street-paving bricks from the 1800s. The bricks are a back-home connection for Patrick, a Chicago native. A metal and glass wall separates the pub room from the hearth room, where there’s a paving brick fireplace with a couch and two sofa chairs.

Katie describes the overall look of the interior as “rustic industrial.”

“It’s a little bit modern, but rustic at the same time,” she says.

The large, stunning kitchen features dark base cabinets and marble counter-tops, white wall cabinets and stainless appliances beneath a vaulted ceiling. An oversized 5- by 12-foot island with a twin sink is the work area, and a second chair-height island half as large is for dining.

It’s where the kids eat and play. If they use markers to color, “It wipes right off the marble,” Patrick says.

The larger marble slab is one piece. Patrick wired the whole house for a sound

system, laid the snap-together floor in the playroom and did all the landscaping.

Varied-width reclaimed wood floor-ing is used throughout the main level. It’s covered with a new product, Rubio Monocoat, which was mixed with a white oak finish and left a hard surface.

The family room features an impressive wood coffered ceiling and a white wood fireplace front and mantle with bookshelves on either side surrounding windows.

The rebuild included a mudroom, where Miller made four lockers from barn siding. It’s near the back stairs that lead to the upstairs laundry and the playroom. The playroom is plumbed, so it can eventually be converted to a bedroom suite.

The laundry room has yellow cabi-nets and a white countertop. The nearby playroom is decorated with a colorful, child-height sink and brightly colored chairs.

The master suite with a vaulted ceil-ing is above the new, three-car ga-

rage. It’s down a 30-foot hallway from the main house, and its bath includes a pair of vanity counters separated by a standalone tub beneath a window in a niche along the outside wall. The tub is flanked by a large steam shower and partial glass wall. A walk-in closet is to the rear of that.

The second floor has three bedrooms, one with its own bath and one with a shared bath. For now, Katie says, two boys sleep in one room, and the room with a bath is for nursery care for their 1-year-old.

The hearth room is separated from the pub room by a metal and glass wall.

The rebuilding also went below ground. With additional space under the kitchen addition, the basement was finished, too. There’s a theater with sofa and recliner seating for seven, a full bath and two other rooms not in use yet.

The parents probably spend most of their leisure time in the hearth room, Patrick says.

There will be more to do outside once the weather is more hospitable. The Heubleins are considering adding a fireplace to the 800-square-foot con-crete patio, which has exposed pebble for texture.

Miller finished work last July. After just a few months, Patrick says, “We haven’t found a thing we would do dif-ferently. We have figured out how to use about every foot.”

The house appeared on the NARI Home Improvement Showcase in September.

Craft beer, smoked meats, delicious pies and ar-cade games will pack the warehouse on Feb. 7 at 945 W. Burrell Ave.

That’s when the Grandview Craft Beer Alliance hosts the second High Gravity Hullabaloo. The event runs 6-10 p.m.

Craft beer connoisseurs Laura Oldham, Doug Oldham and Jamie Gentry formed the coalition in October 2013.

The Hullabaloo was inspired in part by the alliance leaders’ experience at the Grandview Digfest. While they

enjoyed Digfest and its offerings of local craft beer, wine and liquor, they wanted to put on an event that was just craft beer.

“The three of us are beer drinkers, and we wanted to put on an event that truly showcased the great beers coming out of central Ohio,” says Laura.

Gentry and the Oldhams see the event as a celebration of central Ohio beer cul-ture, and that means it has to have more than just beer. Thus the smoked meats, provided by ManBQue Columbus; the pies and other baked goods from Hon-eykiss Bakery; the appetizers brought in by Matt the Miller’s Tavern; and the clas-sic arcade games, courtesy of Arcade Super Awesome.

Nineteen local breweries have signed on to provide their potent potables. All the beers are on the high side in terms of alcohol content – think double or triple IPAs, imperial stouts, and Belgian dub-bels or tripels – and many are among the breweries’ lesser-known offerings.

Tickets can be purchased at www.grandviewcraftbeer.com. Prices start at $20 for a designated driver ticket, and $60 for beer drinkers.

“We didn’t want the type of event where you wait around in lines forever,” says Laura. “We wanted an event where you get your beer and enjoy it. That’s what it’s all about.”

A ticket also buys a collectible tulip glass that can be used for all the beer samples a budding connoisseur can bear.

The complimentary cup is just part of what sets the Hullabaloo apart from the next beer festival, Laura says.

“So often, you go to a beer fest and you get a really bad tasting cup,” she says. “We wanted to come up with something unique.”

A ticket option for designated drivers offers endless play at the arcade games and a collectible pint glass.

To correct parking problems that cropped up last year, parking will be available at nearby buildings as well as the warehouse.

Guests who want to make the festival into an all-night affair and don’t want to worry about parking

or arranging a designated driver for the event can book a night at Hyatt Place Grandview at a discount with a code available at the alliance’s website.

It’s that time of year again – when ordinary landscapes are transformed into sparkling winter wonderlands.

If white slopes and rushing, chilly air is what you long for, you don’t have to travel farther than three Upper Arlington parks. All close at dusk.

Sunny 95 Park Located off of Langston Drive near Greensview Drive, this park is surrounded

by a wooded area full of pine trees. Sunny 95 boasts the steepest hill in the three local parks, though only one side of the hill is available for sledding.

Thompson ParkLocated by the Lane Road branch of the Upper Arlington Public Library, this

park offers a wide hill, though, again, only one side is available for sledding. There are also a few trees that serve as natural obstacles to liven up the fun.

Northwest Kiwanis ParkThis park off Stonehaven Drive near West

Henderson Road, which funnels into two baseball fields, offers a wide open, large hill. Sledders can ride down multiple sides of the hill that vary in length and steepness.

Wyman Woods ParkThough this park at Grandview Avenue

and Goodale Boulevard has been a well-known destination for sled riders for 40-50 years, extensive renovations have closed it this winter.
